The Military-Civil Society Suppression Interface - "The Other Side Of The Coin: Counterinsurgency And Community Policing"
Volume 3 (1): 81 - 117 (May 2011)
The Other Side Of The Coin:
Counterinsurgency And Community Policing
Kristian Williams
(This paper grew out of a lecture presented at the "Econvergence," First Unitarian Church, Portland Oregon; October 3, 2009.)Abstract
This essay outlines the current counterinsurgency model, with an emphasis on its domestic application in the United States. It shows that many contemporary counterinsurgency practices were developed by police agencies inside the U.S., and illustrates the transfer of theory, strategy, and technique from domestic police to the military - and back. The essay also examines the state's use of nongovernmental or nonprofit agencies, as one element of counterinsurgency strategy, to channel and control political opposition. [emphasis mine -RR] The conclusion briefly considers the strategic implications for social movements, especially as we learn to recognize and respond to political repression.
Introduction: Expect Repression
Oppositional political movements inevitably face - and therefore ought to expect -repression at the hands of the state. But, while quick to condemn the most obvious and violent manifestations of this repression, especially when directed against peaceful groups, the institutionalized left has been slow to grasp the strategy underlying the state's approach.
We tend to characterize repression as the state's response to crisis, rather than seeing it also as a means to preserving normalcy. Hence, it has been very difficult to recognize it in quiet times, and when it does appear it seems like an exception, an excess, a panicked over-reaction.
But repression does not always come dressed up in riot gear, or breaking into offices in the middle of the night….

Not to create a panic or anything, but Christmas shopping season (online, at least) is almost over. The whole gang here at PurseBlog has spent the past month scouring the web for the best and most giftable (that's not a word, but we're going to call it a word for now, ok?) items for people who love luxury accessories as much as we do. Naturally, in the course of all that searching, we've come across some stuff that we wouldn't mind finding under our own trees.
Megs and I will both be sharing our personal holiday wish lists with you, and I'm up first. Below, you'll find a selection of the things I'd most love to receive this Christmas, or, alternately, a good start on your PurseBlog Amanda costume for next Halloween. If I remind you of your niece or someone, well, now you know what to get her. (If you don't like her that much, proceed directly to the lipstick portion of this guide. It's the least expensive thing on the list.)

Portsmouth police say man sexually assaulted disabled person in his care
Police said John C. Riley, 41, will be arraigned today on sexual assault, kidnapping and indecent exposure charges, though a court location wasn't determined Thursday. Police released few details about the charges against Riley, except to say in a news release that he "had access to the victim through his employment with a local agency that provides support services to adults with developmental disabilities."
Riley was being held Thursday in Rockingham County Jail on $30,000 bail.
The suspect's police booking photo and job description match those of a John Riley honored by the New Hampshire Council on Developmental Disabilities in November as the Direct Service Provider of the Year. He and another honoree received a plaque and $500, according to the council.
According to a newsletter on the council's website announcing the award, those nominated for the award "exemplify exceptional dedication to enhancing the quality of life of the individuals that they support. All nominees displayed efforts that went above and beyond their normal job responsibilities. Their stories showed how these individuals gained educational credentials to better serve their consumers, were advocates for those they support, and saw their work as a passion rather than a job."
Carol Stamatakis, executive director of the council, could not be reached Thursday night for comment.
The newsletter said Riley was nominated by Living Solutions, a Greenland-based provider of services to the elderly and disabled.
Messages left Thursday night with members of the company's leadership, including CEO Neal Ouellett, COO Carl Pufahl and Cindy Marsh, director of the Portsmouth office, were not returned.
According to the company's website, Living Solutions "provides flexible, caring support for senior citizens, individuals with long-term illnesses or developmental disabilities and children with health and behavioral needs."

Let's Hear it for the Hierophant!
I forget what I was doing, but the other day I came across a 2006 poll on Aeclectic Tarot which asked "What's your favourite major arcana card?" As you might suspect, the Star came out on top (where else could a Star go?) But can you guess who came last? Of course you can - you've read the title of this post.
|Hierophant - Morgan Greer (US Games)
Out of 167 votes, the Star got 26 and the High Priestess, the second most popular card, got 19. But the poor old Hierophant only got one. That's 0.6%. Not even 1 in 100 people would say the Hierophant was their favourite major. Consider that for a moment: more people have warm and fuzzy feelings towards the Devil, Death, even the Tower. So why is the Hierophant so unpopular? And is it deserved?

MCPL's Research Databases are awesome! In addition to helping with "need to know" information, these sites offer interesting and fun information. One of my favorite sites is Global Road Warrior. Besides the information you would expect, like geography, government, economy, and climate, I can find out about their culture, holidays, and religion.

I was looking over the library's databases and started looking into America the Beautiful. It has so much information to choose from. I've learned quite a bit about the different states that make up our America. There is a map you can click onto that shows various facts, pictures, the history of the state, geology, culture, and much more. It is an enjoyable database. So, if you are interested in our America, this is for you.

Hope it works out for you Andy and wish you luck.
Are you going to have more studio space.
I have read with interest, you and your daughter's side of the story. I admire what you have achieved considering the pressures you have been under. It is a shame that this vehicle that achieves one person's fame, does so at others cost. Alex's show format is a win win situation. She can claim the success, but also use the I told you so, if it does not work out. The one thing that stood out in the programme however,was that you remained a lady throughout, which is more than I can say of somebody else.
I must apologise for my original comment, as I was judging the programme of face values.
I saw the programme only last night and when I got the the Getty bit with you putting all your photos in a mock display I wondered whether there was more to this than the 'documentary' , I'm glad you've come to epz to give your side, thee are far too many one sided stories. You have some beautiful images on your website
Quote: Andy
Alex's show format is a win win situation. She can claim the success, but also use the I told you so, if it does not work out.
My idea of win-win is that both Alex and Andy would come out as winners. Thanks for putting your side of the tale. I suspect folk just assume that whatever is shown on TV must be true. Until you told us that you were effectively pushed out of your old studio, the new studio did seem a strange move.
All the best for the future.
Quote: Thanks Paul. Yes the new studio is much bigger and nicer and it has its own loos and a changing room!
When you get settled you should look into having the studio available for hire when not in use, every little helps.
We had considered hiring our studio out but I have been advised by a photographer friend that its possibly not a good idea. 1. People don't respect your equipment like you do. 2. You probably can't hire it out for much more than £30 per hour and we should be able to make more ph by doing shoots ourselves. We should put our effort into filling the studio with our clients. 3. A lot of people would expect a wide range of equipment, we have a basic set of lights and modifiers. 4. You wouldn't want people bringing what could effectively be your customers into your studio and someone else earning money from it.
However, I would let a camera club come along and use it. That's where I learnt a lot about photography and I do like to pass it back if you like. We also have work experience students. They have a great time. We get them to do everything from making tea for clients and meet and greet to setting up the studio and taking some photographs. We always do a photoshoot with them and give them some images from the shoot. One of our work experience girls from last year featured in the program. If they're girls then Rachel does a makeover on them. If they're boys and they really want a makeover... We had a boy with us on the first week of filming. Really nice lad and of course he absolutely loved being part of that week. They stay friends with us. One is coming to our studio today, along with her mum and dad to help with the renovations. That's unbelievably kind of them. Two of our work experience kids have gone on to full time college studying photography. We've also had two weekend girls and they were both attending college for photography. They both got triple star distinctions at the end of their courses. Chloe has moved on and has a job photographing baseball hats and is shortly to get an assistant and Lily still works with us (part time) having left to go to Venture for a while and begging to come back. (Yes I'm soft, but we loved her and when she was head hunted by them we made her go. She hated it but learnt loads).
Hm, I do ramble a bit. Lol
So good to hear the REAL story. Thank you for sharing it with us. The programme certainly did not portray the real story and if it had then I think it would have actually been so much better. Shame on the BBC and Alex P for feeding the public with a half truth, make up the rest, story that would usually be found in the Red Tops!
Good luck for the future to you and your daughters and my apologies if my comments earlier caused offence.
[quote] If they're boys and they really want a makeover... /quote]
Do you want a challenge? I'll supply the polyfilla.
It was very tempting to just let people carry on thinking what they want to about us, but I just can't do that. Thank you everyone for listening to our side of the story and admitting that your first impressions were wrong. We are all really lovely people, just wanting to make the best of our lives and at the same time doing what we enjoy. You'll even love Nikki (the sweary one) - she just had to defend herself because they were really laying into her, so you can understand why she reacted the way she did - just a shame (but was obviously going to happen) that they used the footage. I did have a go at Alex and defend us a few times, but as I am so polite, that wasn't shown! ;-D In fact I was very conscious that anything I said could be used against me, so mostly kept my mouth shut - although that backfired as it just made me look like a spare part, leading to all the nasty messages going about saying I should be sacked.
having read this thread i just watched the whole thing on iPlayer.
Its kind of obvious the narrative that they had chosen before the filming had even started was of the lazy girls sponging off the "too nice" mum.
Some pretty hash editing, cutting to Alex filling in any bits where there was any chance of ambiguity and the hatchet job was done.
I really hope things work out for all of you now Andy.
A friend and business contact of mine was one of the most well known and successful publicists in the UK. ITV came to him with an idea of spending a month or two with him to make a show about how the publicity business works, handling superstars etc.
He wouldn't even discuss it with them. As he said, it is easy to make his job look like a constant round of drinking and socializing with the rich and famous when the heart of it is in the conception, planning and organising of publicity campaigns. Highly specialized and pressurised work. Unfortunately, sitting at a desk writing down ideas, researching them and phoning people does not entertaining televison make and as he recognized, TV's job is to make entertaining programmes.
It's not that they lie, it is in the editing that they make the portrayal and the slant. They can't have film of someone shouting at someone else unless someone does shout at someone. My friend was experienced enough to know that they would need to 'kipper him' as he put it because he is in the business himself. With that knowledge, he just said no.
Generally people do these programmes because it is flattering and a boost for the ego and there's nothing wrong with that. I'd be surprised if Peach Lane Studios hadn't benefited in any way from the publicity and advice, though. And the show has certainly helped a number of businesses over its course.
So many people hate TV makers until they get offered the the chance to be on the box. It's the English way, like the oddity of a newspaper like The Sun which, apparently, no-one reads yet has the biggest readership of all newspapers.

TEAMS: New York Jets, New England Patriots, New York Knicks
There were a lot of head-turning celebrities at Monday night's big-time fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute.
They didn't nickname this annual event the "Oscars of the East" for nothing.
The red carpet was filled with all the beautiful people wearing anything by everyone— including actresses Scarlett Johansson and Jessica Alba and singer Beyonce. Even big time athletes including Tom Brady (with wife and Patriots receivers coach Gisele Bundchen), Victor Cruz, Carmelo Anthony and Amare' Stoudemire (wearing this season's latest fashion accessory— the hand bandage) made the scene.
Once again, a lot of the attention seemed to directed at New York Jets quarterback Tim Tebow who wore a Ralph Lauren blue label tux while strutting down the carpet.
While Tebow joked that it took him only "12 minutes" to get ready, he got serious when he was asked about the suicide of retired NFL star Junior Seau.
Tebow took time out during the gala to turn the talk away from his attire and reminisce about the football great.
"So many young athletes like myself looked up to him and watched him." said Tebow.
"I met him one day after he came to the Florida-Georgia game when he played then and just had the best time with him afterwards and I'm just extremely sad for him and his family and wish him support and I know I'll be praying for him."
In case you're wondering, Rihanna was in a long-sleeved black snakeskin dress by Tom Ford.

Pierre, SD (KELO-AM) South Dakotans who like their current health insurance can keep it even if it doesn't comply with Obamacare, at least for the next two years.
Governor Daugaard announced on Tuesday that insurance companies will be allowed to renew or extend policies until October 2016. State officials say the extension could save South Dakotans some $70-million over the next two years.
Deb Muller with Avera Health Plans says the extra extension gives people more choices. Right now the extension is until October 2016, but Muller doesn't rule out additional extensions in the future.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
What makes you think that isn't a tongue in cheek joke, Hob? Maybe he was making fun of such people. Maybe you shouldn't jump to conclusions so quickly. Alliance players have been left out while the people who made the game openly make fun of the Alliance faction. Maybe it was a comment on the lack of faction pride in the Alliance. Or maybe how they're not the trendy faction to be a part of.

If Bruce Lindsay had gotten that internship at KUTV back in 1974, maybe he wouldn't be retiring from KSL right now.
The longtime KSL anchorman was behind the desk at Channel 5 for the last time on Wednesday, wrapping up a career that stretches back to 1974.
Back then, he thought he might begin working at the rival station after one of his Brigham Young University instructors "assured me that I would have the inside track for a summer internship at KUTV." But his interview at Channel 2 didn't go well. "But it was a good warm-up because I was all ready to go guns blazing for the interview at KSL," he said.
Apparently, he must have wowed them at Channel 5. "They actually made me a special offer," Lindsay said. "In lieu of being an unpaid intern, I got the majestic sum of $2 an hour."
Lindsay, who was born in San Francisco and grew up in Salt Lake City, spent 36 of the past 38 years at KSL, where he has anchored the news for the past 34 years — a run matched by only a few of his counterparts. "And they're dropping like flies right now," Lindsay said with a laugh. "People of my vintage, they're just heading for the exits."
It's a run that will be tough to replicate. "It's unlikely we'll see that in the future," said Al Tompkins, the Poynter Institute's senior faculty member for broadcasting and online. "We are losing an awful lot of the experience that we have in newsrooms to buyouts, retirements. When we lose people with large amounts of experience, we lose the institutional knowledge that goes with them. And that should concern us all."
Lindsay, however, looks at his departure as just a natural progression. "My segment of the baby boom generation, for the whole time that I've been in broadcasting, has been over-represented in the ranks," he said. "Our coming-of-age coincided with broadcasting moving from a loss-leader and a public-interest necessity to a profit center. So a lot of us got sucked into that and we've stayed there. We've been the pig in the python and the roadblock to a lot of people, too."
At KSL, Lindsay will be succeeded by Dave McCann, best known locally as the play-by-play announcer for Cougar football and basketball on BYUtv.
"We're not really looking to replace Bruce," said Tanya Vea, KSL's vice president of news. "He's an institution in Utah news. There's something about him that people just naturally like and trust."
While some believe that Lindsay spent almost 30 years waiting for Dick Nourse's 2007 retirement, they forget the two co-anchored the flagship 10 p.m. newscast from 1978-86. But the strain on his wife and six growing children had him "on the verge of going somewhere else where I could ply my trade in the early afternoon" when he and then-KSL anchorwoman Shelley Thomas swapped time slots.
"It worked better for both of our families," he said, "although it was arguably a step down for me, in terms of the size of the broadcast."
Lindsay, who got an MBA at the University of Utah while he was anchoring the news at KSL, figured he'd move on to some sort of corporate communications. Instead, he's headed to Perth, Australia, to serve as a mission president for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The impending move Down Under has kept him from indulging in too much nostalgia.
"I'll miss some wonderful people," he said. "You know the stereotypes — the pompous people who don't get along so they fake it on camera. But the people that I've been paired with, I have the greatest respect for them and I've had the warmest, collegial kinds of experiences."
The broadcast times of Bruce Lindsay
Lindsay began his KSL career in 1974 as an intern and then moved into a full-time reporting job. After a two-year stint at KABC in Los Angeles from 1976 to 1978, when he returned to KSL, where he worked until his retirement on Wednesday.

Ubuntu is becoming more and more complete and easy to configure. However, like any operating system there's work to be done after the installation. Here's a list of 10 tips that you can use after installing or upgrading Ubuntu.
1. Install software faster
As a commenter on Slashdot said:
I felt a great disturbance in the force, as if thousands of apt-get repositories had cried out in pain, and were suddenly silenced.
The Ubuntu software repositories can get really slow, and even stop responding completely around the time of a major Ubuntu release. Without a repository mirror, you can't install software. The Synaptic package manager can help you find a faster mirror.

From D.G. Martin, host of North Carolina Bookwatch, which airs on UNC-TV:
What is the dilemma that haunts every Southerner who confesses he or she is a liberal?
For Brandt Ayers in his new book, In Love With Defeat: The Making of a Southern Liberal, it is this: His progressive views set him apart from many of his fellow Southerners, whose culture and basic values he respects and shares. At the same time, this attachment to his Southern heritage sets him apart from non-Southerners who share his basic political views but cannot understand his attachment to the positive features of Southern culture.
The Ayers family publishes the Anniston, Ala., Star newspaper. Like the Hodding Carter familys Delta Democrat-Times in Greenville, Miss., and the Neil Davis familys newspaper in Auburn, Ala., the Ayerss Anniston Star pushed for racial tolerance, fair treatment, and opportunity for blacks when the majority of its readers was committed to preserving the Deep South culture that Gov. George Wallace called segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever.
There are N.C. connections to these families. Hodding Carter III and three of Neil Daviss children live in North Carolina. Brandt Ayerss wife, Josephine, grew up in Raleigh, the granddaughter of Gov. J.C.B. Ehringhaus, and they have a second home here.
Although Ayers worked at his familys newspaper as a teenager, he got his professional start with the Raleigh Times in 1959. While in North Carolina he admired Gov. Luther Hodges successes attracting business, handling the challenge of court-ordered school desegregation, and promoting the Research Triangle Park. Ayers also observed Terry Sanfords victory over staunch segregationist I. Beverly Lake in the 1960 Democratic primary and Sanfords push for educational improvement and racial tolerance.
Upon his return to Alabama, Ayers used the positive accomplishments of Hodges and Sanford to contrast with the failures of Alabama leaders like George Wallace.
Under Ayerss father, Col. Harry Ayers, the Anniston Star had developed a progressive stance. The Star was the first newspaper in the South to endorse Franklin Roosevelt for president.
When Brandt Ayers returned home to work at the Star, he led Annistons efforts not to be like Montgomery, Selma, or Birmingham, where racial turmoil engulfed communities and made reconciliation problematic.
While In Love With Defeat is a personal memoir, it is also an exploration of the transformation of the South from a region of racism and poverty to what it is today.
Ayers writes that some things, good and bad, about the old South have been preserved. The glue that held the old, segregated civilization together, which binds our society today, is the sameness of everyday life: workday rituals, habits of civility, conformity to the norm, ambivalence, indifference, and resignation. There were bitter-end haters, but it is remarkable how light was the hold of the haters on the rest of us.
At the end of his book Ayers is still caught between his liberal leanings and his identification with Southerners who do not share those views.
Morally, millions of white Southerners would have to confess they recoil at the idea of being governed by a black man. However, partially in their defense, the average white in the Deep South has not heard or felt an invitation to Barack Obamas e-pluribus-unum national oneness.
We used to be the solid Democratic South, an impenetrable phalanx arrayed to stop the black man from entering. We are now the solid (white) Republican South, arrayed with similar intent, lessened effect, and excused with heightened deceit.
Maybe it is a tough puzzle to understand, but former Mississippi Gov. William Winter says Ayers comes as close to explaining who we Southerners are and why we act as we do.

Many of us have been on the receiving end of a bad break-up and used music as a soundtrack for the relationship. If you read Bumped, then you know how music is a large part of Elle's life. Check out what she was listening to on her iPod through all the ups and downs and see if you can guess what songs she listened to most during certain times. :) What's your favorite break-up song? Leave it in the comments.
Janet Jackson - Come Back to Me
Lenny Kravitz - I'll be Waiting
Matchbox Twenty - If You're Gone
Elle Varner- All I Want is Him

Sooo it's been almost two weeks since Bumped became available to the masses. Happy to report that it is now also available on the Kindle for just $0.99 for a limited time. So download your copy now. I signed up for Kindlegraph where you can request an autograph for your Kindle. Pretty cool, huh?
I'll be doing my first radio interview about Bumped with Kisha Green on Blog Talk Radio, Monday, 8/15 @ 7 pm EST. You can join in on the chat at 718-508-9827. Should be fun!
I have to say, the biggest lesson I've learned so far on this journey is that a great cover makes all the difference in the world and folks seem to really like Bumped. Check out this feedback - scroll down and read the comments. With my first book, the cover was too dark and no one knew what the image was supposed to be (they're legs by the way). The graphic designer is Nap Warden, she did the new cover for my book DreamCity which will be re-released this winter.
Well, that's all for now.

Duke women make run behind Cangrejo, Duncan
FRANKLIN, Tenn. - The phrase "get back on the horse" comes to mind when talking to Duke's Alejandra Cangrejo. The Blue Devils player fell off a horse at age 6 and fractured her elbow and wrist. Horseback riding was her passion, but after that fall, she never rode again.
Two weeks ago at the NCAA East Regional, Cangrejo re-injured her right elbow when hitting out of rough. Duke was leading the tournament at the time of her injury, but the Blue Devils plummeted when she had to withdraw. The tough foursome, however, pulled through without Cangrejo, advancing to this week's nationals here at Vanderbilt's Legends Club. Now she's back in the lineup, and Duke sits in third place at the NCAA Championship, three shots back of Alabama.
"Irene (Jung) was here just in case something happened," said Cangrejo, speaking of Duke's sixth player. Jung went home this morning after Cangrejo assured coach Dan Brooks that she was good to play.
"She is out there playing with an injury that really, really hurt," Brooks said. "The doctor said it was like hitting your funny bone with a hammer."
Cangrejo posted an even-par 72, allowing Duke to stay within striking distance of the leader at 1-over 289. Teammate Lindy Duncan, Golfweek's top-ranked player, eagled her last hole, the par-5 ninth at the North Course, to shoot 70. Eleven players broke par.
"Well, let me tell you, when Lindy made that putt (on No. 9 for eagle), that was key," Brooks said. "This is the national championship, and you cannot afford to miss a lot of those little putts. That was pretty important to get us in position tomorrow."

THE MAID'S DAUGHTER (4) by Janice Maynard: When industrialist Devlyn Wolff nearly runs her off the road, schoolteacher Gillian Carlyle is swept off her feet — literally — by the oversized man. Devlyn doesn't know why he can't let the feisty woman go, but he promptly offers her a job consulting on the new school his family is building. Gillian leaps at the opportunity, and at the chance to explore the healthy case of lust the two have developed. But Devlyn's childhood has left deep scars he has no intention of inflicting on anyone. Readers will cheer as a strong woman once again silences the painful echoes of the past in this delightful Wolff family installment.

Taliban attack on Kabul police HQ kills 3 officers
Obama also said he agreed with Karzai that the Taliban should open a political office in the Gulf state of Qatar to facilitate peace talks.
Pakistan, the other regional powerbroker, also said last week that it plans to release more Afghan militant detainees in an attempt to boost the peace process ahead of the departure of international troops at the end of 2014. Islamabad made the announcement after talks with Afghan and American officials in Abu Dhabi. Pakistan is thought to hold more than 100 Taliban prisoners and has so far released 26.
In general, Kabul has pressed hard for Pakistan to release Afghan detainees, with some officials saying that they hope the released Taliban can serve as intermediaries. But Washington is concerned about specific prisoners it considers dangerous, saying they could take up arms again.

Green Acres Lyrics - TV Theme Songs
Green acres is the place for me.
Farm livin' is the life for me.
Land spreadin' out so far and wide
Keep Manhattan, just give me that countryside.
New York is where I'd rather stay.
I get allergic smelling hay.
I just adore a penthouse view.
Dah-ling I love you but give me Park Avenue.
...The chores.
...The stores.
...Fresh air.
...Times Square
You are my wife.
Good bye, city life.
Green Acres we are there.

Join us at 6.30pm at the BBC's flagship redevelopment in central London – Broadcasting House.
Following the Queen's Speech announcement of an Energy Security and Green Economy Bill, Fiona Harvey, Environment Correspondent at the Financial Times; James Cameron, Founder of Climate Change Capital; and someone to represent the government perspective (tbc) will be discussing who in government and in business has the resources, the vision and the mandate to deliver the major changes which are needed to help the UK's transformation to a sustainable economy.
We have also invited H2ope to give a short presentation on a programme which illustrates some of the strands of the discussion.
This will be followed by refreshments, kindly provided by the BBC, and networking.
Further Details
Through this discussion we hope to build a post-election development roadmap of the various aspects of physical infrastructure alluded to in the UK government's 2009 low carbon transition plan, along with the associated governance and financial framework.
Our definition of physical infrastructure includes the assets, UK-wide, that are needed to fulfil the interim carbon budgets which government has set (i.e. not those which directly relate to the EU Emissions Trading Scheme) e.g.:
- offshore wind
- smart metering / grid
- domestic waste processors
- alternative fuelling / vehicle charging
By focusing on "governance infrastructure" we hope to answer the question of which departments/authorities are leading each bit of delivery, e.g.:
- BIS/DECC/DfT/EA
- Sub-national and regional players
- Cities
"Financial infrastructure" is perhaps the most interesting, in that we're looking for a high level picture of how projects will be funded and accounted for, e.g.:
- a green investment bank / green fund
- carbon accounting standards
- domestic energy feed in tariffs
The discussion will be at a sufficiently high level for a good overview, while dipping into the areas where panellists have insight.

Is she going to a politican luncheon wearing these hooker boots??
Our friends at Talking Shopping called out Governor Sarah Palin for wearing these knee-high patent leather boots to a political luncheon. Umm ... no offense, but if Sarah Palin wants to be taken more seriously, she may consider staying away from the "Pretty Woman" look and go a little more conservative.
We're all about the patent leather boots with jeans around the house or grocery shopping, but to a political luncheon -- coupled with teased hair and a face full of make-up? Not so much.
A little judgemental of you don't you think? Let her wear what she wants - she looks fine!
The boots don't seem to go with the suit though. The boots in itself are fine. But why is she wearing boots like that with a suit.
You just have to laugh at the loony left. They have no problem with these boots until their PDS kicks in they they are distasteful, once again showing how shallow they really are.
Women that write articles like this make me think they are chunky- unattractive women that only wish they could look as good as Sarah Palin.
i agree, if she wants to be taken seriously, she should classy it up and get rid of the tan and sprayed on face contouring. the boots are a bit much
I agree. This is not about liking or disliking Palin. The boots are just not working with the outfit.
Just goes to show you that the Republican money bought her great makeup, hair and clothes. Without that bundle she looks like a hooker. Hopefully she is using her money to 'study up' a bit.
The boots are fine. Hardly "hooker" and lots of women wear them, including Condi Rice to the Wiesbaden Airforce Base in Feb 2005. Talk about Matrix!
Her hair and make up haven't undergone a major change so why throw it into the mix. I am no SP fan, but this woman can no longer walk down the street without drawing lunatic/fringe criticism. When she opens her mouth she asks for it (sometimes)but leave her alone for how she dresses and looks.
and we wonder why women get held down. cause other women can't STFU about STYLE?!!? She's a Governor. Say something like look, she's going to work! policy talks! not oh hooker boots.
Most of SP's success is directly attributted to her good looks. If she were short and dumpy and looked like Leslie Neilson, there's no way this woman would have had a career in politics. Her problem though is that she's still stuck in beauty queen mode with all the trendy clothes and corsages. No one where I work would take her seriously if she came to a board meeting dressed like that. Time to start dressing like a professional…
Are you kidding me??? I used to read this site because it had mom-centered articles… Since when does someone's choice of footwear necessitate an article. This site is getting to be one step ahead of the gossip rags. Why do we have to be so judgmental all the time? I'm sure that the same judges have never made any sort of perceived fashion faux pas themselves.
I noticed no one compared the black boots Jill Biden wore to the Inauguration to "hooker boots".
Double standard?
The Pink Flamingo
SJ Reidhead, I was thinking the same thing about Jill Biden…I think Sarah wore a similar style to a presidential campaign event before and didn't get this kind of backlash. I think for a woman in her mid-40s with 4 kids and 2 grand kids she looks pretty good. Looks do matter when your job is to represent and work with the public. Her taste is a bit out of touch with whats mainstream, but she's already proven to be a fashion influence. How many of you went out and bought the same eyeglasses and got a similar hairstyle?
i wondered the same thing myself!
Sara is such an amazing woman I'm sure this sort of hate isn't bothering her.
Nathan in WI
SJ Reidhead, Sarah Palin is the Gov. of and Alaska and was a V.P. candidate while Jill Biden is the wife of the V.P. If you want to compare Jill to someone then her republican equal would be Todd not Sarah Palin. And for that matter who looked more like a V.P. candidate Senator Joe Biden or Gov. Sarah Palin?
Clearly Mom Logic knows nothing about fashion. I don't care what she wears anyway. Mom Logic is way off course with this and other stories. Aren't you supposed to be about Moms and Families?
Wow. Were Sarah Pallin a Democrat, that would be denounced by the Left in unison as a sexist comment. Oh, but I forget. Dems are allowed to treat women like trash. Right Sen. Kennedy? President Clinton? Hmmm?
I am a mom, I wear boots with or without a suit. They keep your legs warm. I am not a hooker.
I agree with Mark in MD. I just found a picture of Michelle Obama wearing the same boots with some trench coat looking thing. Would you call them hooker boots on her? I doubt you would.

The chair is stylish and looks great in my office. It's not a overstuffed cushy piece like some of the others I've owned. It's comfortable but firm. The base is metal which is good as I replaced my old one because the plastic base broke where the casters connect. The seat back reclines like an airline seat, the seat does not move just the backrest. That's kind of odd for an office chair. This chair was actually very easy to assemble. The back of the chairs seams are awfully large & bulky. They don't look bad but you sure notice them. So far I like it. Sometimes I spend the entire workday working on the computer and the chair does not cause any added fatigue to the task.

'The Urban Biking Handbook' by Charles Haine
Published on Sunday, April 14, 2013 - 12:24pm
Have you ever wanted to scale the concrete heights of your inner city neighborhood; traverse the varied gradations of the mountainous regions of the countryside, maybe even take a scenic tour alongside the historical C&O Canal, all the while atop two wheels of pure independence and freedom firmly set in the handles and pebbles of a Bicycle? Cycling, moreover regarded as the most efficient mode of human locomotion, is thoroughly outlined from the rear cassette, all the way to the handlebars in an eclectically stylized format, catering to the artistically inclined urban pioneer, whose I can do it myself attitude, prompts them to steep hills and monumental peaks most others only dream of.
The Urban Biking Handbook, while exhibiting a very conversational style of writing, tears into the how and why of biking, while simultaneously shifting its literary gears showcasing individually customized bikes, and all of the gadgets, bell and whistles and personalized items that bikers use to signify their own personal space in the biking culture. The author, at first sight, attempts to lift the veil off the mysticism of the biking world to new comers, in a way that is much more palatable to most mainstream professional city dwellers, while still maintaining the necessary edge often associated with the wide-ranging ideas of the out of the box thinker.
The author, in line with most genuine cycle enthusiasts, also expresses a socially deliberate approach in various passages, showing the significance of community-based biking organizations, and their implementation, calling other bikers to their own personal calling, spreading the word of establishing a more eco-friendly and environmentally conscious culture, while in the process reducing individual carbon footprints.
The Urban Biking Handbook covers the gamut of urban cycling culture, speeding all the way down the trail of adventure while outlining the specific technical specifications of modern day mountain bike drive trains, bearings and biking road etiquette, everything you've always wanted to know about biking from A to Z. The Urban Bike Handbook's language tugs at the maverick, and the professional, detailing how both, unbeknownst to the individual, often times overlap in the biking world, while at the same time exhibiting entertainment, and exciting exploration of the biking culture, making any reader hard-pressed to not want to get out and ride!
Check it out at your neighborhood Library!

Pardon our dust
Up until just yesterday, I had some basic CSS thrown up to make my blog look… well different. Today, I picked a theme! Now, I can set about customizing it, but that means there will be a lot of changes over the next… well, who knows how long?
A Confession
Something has been eating at me lately. Earlier in the year, while we were all having lunch in the Science room, Gabe made a distasteful joke. I then commented that the subject of said jokes was never funny. And on paper, that should be true. People got after Gabe and he left the room embarrassed. But, I didn't start on Gabe because I wanted to end insensitive speech, after all, we all make unsavory comments sooner or later. No, I said that because I wanted to be part of the group. More popular, in a sense. Although Gabe probably shouldn't have said what he did, I pointed it out for all the wrong reasons and he caught way more flak than he needed to. I'm sharing this because I think it's interesting how things are not as black and white as they seem. You can do the right things for the wrong reasons and still be in the wrong. However, I know that in the future, I will be better for getting this off my chest.

Report: Assad seeks to renew talks with Israel
Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad wishes to renew peace talks with Israel, the London-based Al-Hayat newspaper reported Tuesday.
According to the paper, Assad made the statement while talking to a U.S. delegation that included Congressperson Darryl Eisa (of Lebanese background), and former ambassador to Israel, Martin Indyck and former ambassador to Morocco, Edward Gabriel.
Furthermore, Assad said, "I am ready to renew peace talks if Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon is ready for this."
According to Al Hayat, the Syrian leader told the Americans, "We are ready to resume peace talks with Israel over the Golan if Sharon is ready and if there are clear U.S. guarantees regarding the seriousness of the negotiations and their practical outcome."
Assad also said the recent U.S. "escalation" against Syria over its presence in Lebanon was not logical.
"I am interested to know the U.S. motives behind this", he told his American visitors, and added, "I think this is not logical at a time when Syria is willing to cooperate with the U.S. in Iraq."
Meanwhile, U.N. special Mideast envoy Terje Roed-Larsen said Tuesday in response to the report in Al-Hayat that he believes in the sincerity of Assad's statement.
"Over the past year I had met with Assad on several occasions. My impression is that he is clearly interested in going to the negotiation table for talks with Israel," Lasen said in an interview with Army Radio.
Larsen added that both Israel and Syria have made mistakes, which prevented the two countries from reaching peace.
"It would not be productive to criticize one side," Larsen said, adding, "I think there is a true opportunity today that should be taken." (Albawaba.com)
