Reston's soon-to-be last remaining bookstore will be celebrating its 35th year on Sunday.
Reston's Used Book Shop, in Lake Anne Plaza, was originally started in 1978 by longtime friends Sue Schram and Sue Wensell, who had decided that it would be a great way to give back to their community.
"I originally moved to Reston in 1967 and met Sue Schram, but then moved to Colorado in 1969," said Wensell. "Sue [Schram] stayed here in Reston. Living in Colorado, I saw what was perhaps the first used book store I had ever seen, and when I moved back to Reston in 1977, I told her that a used book store would be a natural for Lake Anne Plaza."
The following year, the two "Sues" took over a former barber shop retail space there and filled it with books that they had been purchasing for months.
"The original barber's pole is still outside of the shop, now with the name of the book shop on it," Wensell said.
After running the store for 21 years, Schram and Wensell decided they had done everything they could for it, and wanted to take some time for their families to travel together.
In 1999, they sold the store to Reston resident Bud Burwell and his wife, Susan.
"Bud was a special education teacher who worked for us part time," Wensell said. "We actually waited to sell until he retired from Fairfax County Public Schools so he could take over. We wanted him because he knew the store so well."
One of the first things the Burwells did was double the size of the store by taking over a space that had been a dry cleaners, creating a unique living room adorned with antiques dating back to the 1800s, as well as chairs and sofas.
The room, with a view of Lake Anne, is today used for an array of activities that range from reading and writing to sipping coffee and visiting with friends. The shop also hosts book clubs, poetry clubs, authors, local bluegrass musicians, birthday parties and an occasional George Mason University class.
"Our personal goal is not to make a lot of money but to support the community, pay our bills and our staff, and have fun," Sue Burwell said.
Julie Lehma,39, has worked for the shop since 2005 and credits Lake Anne's "community feel" for the store's success.
"There's a sense of a community in the plaza and in the store," Lehman said. "This place encourages people to read, especially older books that have more personality and character which you might not find in large book chains."
In addition to children's literature, other popular topics include cooking, philosophy, religion, nature, reference, foreign language, mystery and even a literature section labeled "Good Reading."
People bring in books, and employees rummage through them and cull exactly what they want and know will sell.
"We admit we are quite picky; all books must be in good condition," Sue Burwell said. "We have a trade policy where three mysteries equals one mystery, and for the rest of the topics, people will receive cash back or store credit."
Sue Burwell said part of their success comes from having a deep selection of books that people will flock to first before major book retailers.
"I believe books are born at Barnes and Noble and then they come to us," she said.
The Barnes and Noble in Reston will be closing in February, making Reston's Used Book Shop the last bookstore in Reston, and one of the last few remaining used bookstores in the region.
"We think of ourselves as more than just a bookstore," said Susan Burwell. "We are a community gathering place and also a place for people who like to read to meet others who like to read. One of the nicest compliments I have ever heard about the shop is that it reminded someone of a comfortable living room."
The book shop is located at 1623 Washington Plaza North in Lake Anne Plaza. For more information call 703-435-9772.

Yeah, I was watching it, and reading the text from the story, and I was saying to myself, well, here's another place where I don't see eye to eye with the rest of the forum, I don't think it's racist, I think it is awesome.
Not sure why anybody would be offended by that. It was more of a compliment to Jamaicans rather than a racial dissing in any way shape or form. To understand that you actually had to be in Jamaica once. And I am not talking a few hours on cruise.
Jamaican's are laid back, easy going, and rather smile then frown. The ad implicates only one thing: if you drive a VW you enjoy life more.
"....if there is activity in the ball prior to the rubbing action....

quotes from youtube postersKINGSTON, Jamaica (AP) -- Jamaica is embracing a controversialSuper Bowl commercial that depicts a white office worker from the U.S. Midwest feigning the Caribbean island's lilting patois accent to display a cheerful, upbeat outlook.
Some U.S. critics have described the pregame Super Bowl ad fromVolkswagen of America as offensive and culturally insensitive, apparently seeing the commercial that hit the web on Monday as an echo of segregation-era depictions of white people posing as happy-go-lucky black folk. Jamaica's population is predominantly black.
On NBC's "The Today Show," Barbara Lippert, editor-at-large at mediapost.com, said she believed the commercial was racist because it was "just saying that black people are happy." New York Times columnist Charles M. Blow said during an appearance on CNN that the advertisement was like "blackface with voices."
But the charged reaction has met with puzzlement in Jamaica, which has very visible white, Asian, Middle Eastern and mixed-race minorities that also often speak with the local accent.
The island's government has endorsed the commercial, which shows an ebullient white worker from the U.S. state of Minnesota trying to cheer up glum colleagues with a Jamaican patois accent because he is so happy with his Volkswagen. At the start of the commercial, he paraphrases the lyrics to late reggae icon Bob Marley's "Three Little Birds" as he tells his co-workers: "No worries, mon. Everyting will be all right."
The company's website continues the theme, offering a clip of Jamaica's Jimmy Cliff singing "C'mon, get happy."
On Wednesday, opposition lawmaker Edmund Bartlett said the television ad "is a perfect illustration of Jamaican culture's global reach and our uncharacteristic penchant to be happy even in challenging situations."
Tourism Minister Wykeham McNeill said he believes the Super Bowl commercial has the potential to increase tourist arrivals.
"I think this is a very creative commercial which truly taps into the tremendous appeal that brand Jamaica and its hospitable people have globally," McNeill said in a late Tuesday statement.
At a Kingston bus stop, office assistant Jennifer Blake said she saw the Volkswagen advertisement online and thought it was amusing to see an American trying to speak patois.
"I'm not sure why people would think it was offensive or anything," she said Wednesday, adding that many of her friends have shared links to the commercial on social media.
Nearly all islanders, regardless of class, can speak and understand the country's patois. Jamaica's official language is standard English, but many people cannot speak it.
Those who speak standard English fluently, mostly people from the middle and upper classes, tend to use patois for emphasis or to affect a down-to-earth persona.
A representative for Volkswagen of America said Wednesday morning that the company has no plans to pull the Super Bowl spot.

These guys are aware that there are white people in Jamaica, right?

Pretty funny ****..
I love the fact that when dave chappelle dresses up like a white guy and talks all proper its not racist but god forbid a white person talk with a black guys tongue or dialect...we have movies like malibus most wanted and i never heard anyone call that movie racist even tho it does perpetuate stereotypes about blacks and white. Ppl who are offended by this ad are ****ing stupid. If your portraying a race in a negative light then its racist but if its positive who the **** cares? Stupid. Its really pathetic that we as a society cant look past this bs..we all need to stop being so hypersensitive and just laugh at ourselves.

Not racist IMO but is lamer than ****. A 1 minute car commercial? Just show the god damn car so we can see what it looks like. I don't need to see some white guy walking around acting like Doug E. Doug.

Associates Degree Program
The Associate in Science Degree Program is a collaborative effort between Bridgeport Hospital School of Nursing and Housatonic Community College. It allows graduates of BHSN to receive an Associate in Science Degree in Nursing from Housatonic Community College. To be eligible for the degree, the student must be a graduate of BHSN, pass the licensure examination as an RN, complete an additional required 3 credit course (ENG*E102 Literature & Composition), have completed at least 16 of the total credit hours at Housatonic Community College and enroll in their nursing program.
Please visit Housatonic Community College's site for more information.
Partial Evening Program
Many of our students have multiple responsibilities and often find it difficult to transition into nursing school when courses are offered only during the day. A partial evening program is offered for the first academic year. Only clinical and lab hours are offered evenings. Students in this program are required to move to the day division when Level II courses begin and throughout the remainder of the program.
Consideration for the partial evening program is contingent on space availability. Remember to specify your program preference, day or partial evening division, on your admission application.
Accelerated RN Program
An accelerated track of study is an option available to traditional students at the end of the first year for those students who wish to graduate one semester early. Students in this track continue nursing courses through the summer and graduate in December. The eligibility requirements for this program are:
LPN to RN Articulation Bridge Program
Bridgeport Hospital School of Nursing's LPN to RN Articulation Bridge Program is a three-credit course offered on-line through Charter Oak State College distance learning courses. This online Articulation Bridge course must be passed with a grade of "B-" or higher in order to progress into the BHSN LPN to RN Articulation Bridge program. The LPN* must first be accepted by Bridgeport Hospital School of Nursing (BHSN) before enrolling in the online Articulation Bridge Course. Acceptance is dependent upon admission requirements and completion of first level non-nursing college courses.
In addition, the LPN will be required to take NU200, Transition for the LPN, a one credit course at BHSN offered in the spring semester that is specific to the objectives of our school and serves as a supplement to the on-line Bridge Course. Successful completion of the on-line Bridge Course, non-nursing Level I courses and NU200 allows the LPN to bypass all first year nursing courses at BHSN and enter into second level courses.
Click here for a printable information sheet on the LPN to RN Articulation Bridge Program
Applications are accepted July 1 through September 1 for admission in the Spring.
RN to BSN
The BHSN graduate may take advantage of the Connecticut Articulation Model for Nurse Educational Mobility. This Model facilitates the transfer of nursing and non-nursing lower-division coursework to an upper-division nursing program in Connecticut. After acceptance to a BSN program, the BHSN graduate can transfer 30 credits in nursing and 30 credits of general education into an upper-division nursing program.

BRAG was founded in 1970 to promote the acceptance and participation of African-Americans and people of color at all levels of the retail and related industries. In 2007, a college chapter of BRAG was established at LIM College.
BRAG scholarship recipients are selected based on scholastic achievement, leadership, community service, and need. As part of this year's application process, students also had to submit an essay on "The Business Case for Diversity in Retail and Related Industries in an Economic Downturn."
This year's Gala honorees are: Celebrity stylist June Ambrose; Susan Akkad, Senior VP at the Estee Lauder Companies; Thomas M. Belk, Jr., Chairman and CEO of the Belk Company; Fern Mallis, Creator of New York Fashion Week; and model and entrepreneur Beverly Johnson. The theme of the evening, which will be hosted by Tamron Hall of MSNBC, is "Breaking Barriers." The BRAG Gala typically draws hundreds of industry insiders, fashion VIP's, celebrities and retail executives.

- Independent
- The Enterprise
- The Recorder
The Calvert County Board of Education confirmed Monday the disciplinary record of a 5-year-old boy who was suspended in May for bringing a toy gun on a bus was cleared by the superintendent "in its entirety."
Calvert County Public Schools Superintendent Jack Smith said in a June 26 letter to Robin Ficker, the attorney representing the boy and his family, his decision was based on information from officials at the school, Dowell Elementary, and from an appeal filed by the boy's family. The letter states Smith reviewed the record, "carefully considering both the needs of the student and those of the school system."
"I think he made a wise decision under the circumstances," Eugene Karol, president of the board of education, said. "We have a 5-year-old child here."
The boy's mother, who asked to remain anonymous to protect her son's privacy, said she is pleased with the outcome of the case for her family. In a previous interview, the boy's mother said she was looking forward to the day when her son could put the incident behind him.
"Nobody really knows what my son has gone through," said the boy's mother, who is also employed as a teacher in the Calvert County school system. "He had grown and learned so much [in kindergarten]. That was taken away from him that day, instead of making it a moment where he could have learned." She said she hopes a conversation will be had as to what the community feels is the best way to serve the children and not "let hysteria rule the day."
On May 22, the kindergartner was suspended for 10 days after he showed off his orange-tipped cap gun to a friend on the bus ride to school, according to a school system news release. The principal was notified of the matter and brought the boy into the office, where he was questioned without a parent present and, his mother said, uncharacteristically wet himself. Neither parent was called immediately, according to the boy's mother.
After the family appealed the suspension, the boy's punishment was reduced to three days. However, the request to have the incident wiped from his record was initially denied.
Last week, Ficker sent a five-page appeal to Kim Roof, executive director of school administration, calling for the board to "reverse the suspension of, expunge the record of, and request ... a public hearing," regarding the case.
In the appeal, Ficker wrote that a May 31 statement on the school system's website regarding the issue, claiming the "Principal was told by a staff member that there may have been a gun on the bus," was untrue. According to the appeal, the only adult on the bus was the school bus driver who allegedly knew immediately that the cap gun was a toy. The appeal also states the boy's mother was not contacted until three hours after the incident occurred, even though according to a release, the school says the boy was questioned for five to seven minutes.
According to the Calvert County Public Schools 2013-2014 Student Code of Conduct, weapons include any object that is a lookalike weapon, even though it is incapable of operation, and a student may be suspended for any action considered disruptive and/or detrimental to the operation of the school. If the offense is serious or illegal in nature, it may warrant a suspension on the first offense. The principal determines when a student should be suspended and the length of the suspension. The student is given an opportunity to learn what he or she is accused of doing and given the chance to explain, and the principal should make every reasonable effort to notify the parent or guardian by telephone, according to the code.
"I would like to see that, as we move forward, that we remember that a child's education is most important and it includes the school setting and the parents as partners, which is not what happened here," the boy's mother said.
School board member Joe Chenelly said the incident raised a few questions that need to be answered by the board, such as at what stage of an investigation parents should be notified, whether the age of a child should be considered when handling incidents and how schools should handle incidents involving toy guns and lookalike weapons.
After the December 2012 elementary school shooting in Newtown, Conn., school administrators across the nation are taking such incidents more seriously. Ficker said he is also appealing the record of a boy in Anne Arundel County who was suspended for chewing a breakfast pastry into the shape of a gun.
"I am pleased with the decision and look forward to being able to take a closer look at the details of this incident as we consider policy reform," Chenelly said. "I want to ensure we can learn from this so that administrators have the ability to handle future situations in the most appropriate manner possible."
According to Chenelly, the board was not fully informed of the details of the event while appeals were being processed. Because of the sensitive nature of the case regarding student discipline, Chenelly said members will need to request the full report during an administrative session in order to determine how the current policies were implemented and if they need revision. Once conversation about specific policy reform occurs between the board, an open session may occur, he said.
Gail Bennett, spokesperson for the school system, said Smith could not make a public comment as this is a student discipline issue. School board members Tracy McGuire, Dawn Balinski and vice president Kelly McConkey could not be reached for comment before time of press.
"We have a wonderful school system; we have good people here," the boy's mother said. "This is not who we are. We need to remember who we are and get back to that."

Chicago, IL (Sports Network) - Even without their big three, the San Antonio Spurs remain on a roll.
Kawhi Leonard had 26 points in the Spurs' 103-89 win over the Chicago Bulls.
Danny Green tallied 18 points and six rebounds, while Tiago Splitter and Gary Neal added 16 points apiece for the Spurs, who have won 13 of their last 14 games.
Tim Duncan has missed nine of his last 11 contests due to a sore left knee, Manu Ginobili has missed five straight with tightness in his left hamstring and Tony Parker missed the action due to swelling around his knee.
The last time San Antonio head coach Gregg Popovich sat Duncan, Ginobili and Parker in the same game -- a nationally televised showdown with the Miami Heat -- the NBA slapped the Spurs with a $250,000 fine. But all three were healthy scratches then.
"One would hope you could play with anybody in the system. But it was a great challenge," Popovich said.
Nate Robinson had 20 points and seven assists for Chicago, which has dropped four of its last six tilts.
Leonard's 3-pointer gave San Antonio a 68-54 cushion midway through the third, but the Bulls outscored the Spurs 21-8 over the next eight-plus minutes to pull within one point.
Robinson had nine points during the surge, which was capped on a Taj Gibson dunk to make it 76-75 with 9:51 left.
The Spurs, though, countered with a run of their own.
Splitter poured in six points during a 13-3 swing and Leonard concluded it with a layup to put San Antonio up, 89-78, midway through the fourth.
The visitors led by as many as 14 down the stretch.
The Bulls led 24-20 after one quarter of play, but the Spurs had a 31-18 advantage in the second quarter and took a 51-42 spread into the break.
"I don't think we took them for granted. I just think they came out and played harder than us." Gibson said of losing to the short-handed Spurs.
San Antonio moved to 32-1 this season when leading at halftime ... Richard
Hamilton had 16 points, while Joakim Noah pulled down 15 rebounds for Chicago
... The Bulls turned the ball over 19 times, which led to 29 San Antonio

If you make no bones about something, you're speaking plainly and telling the truth. For example, if you are honest and admit that you didn't do your homework, you're making no bones about it. This expression dates back to the 1500s and some people believe it had to do with soup. If there were no bones in a soup, a person could swallow it without worrying about choking. Likewise, when you make no bones about something, people can feel confident "swallowing" your answer.

atmospheric / theme
We're not referring here to the air we breathe; atmospheric works evoke a particular emotional tone, often soft, muted and indistinct. Sort of like that thought that just left the perimeter of your consciousness, that you try to recall.
Themes represent basic categories of thought, emotion, or value. While our assignment of themes may at times seem arbitrary or whimsical, they serve to link together artists and movements along non- hierarchial pathways. Follow the themes to look for new disciplines that share qualities with those you already like, or to open up new worlds of Art and Culture.

Despite mostly keeping mum about it in public, Mitt Romney took a big swipe at President Obama on foreign policy in the full-length version of a secretly taped video released last week by Mother Jones. "Everything is about strength," Romney told donors at the closed-door fundraiser. "And communicating to people what is and is not acceptable is speaking softly but carrying a very very, very, big stick. This president, instead, speaks loudly and carries a tiny stick."

The overall meaning behind Romney's metaphorical critique was clear: Under Obama, America grew weaker while under Romney, America would be powerful again. There's just one problem with Romney's analogy. Teddy Roosevelt's dictum didn't mean what Romney seems to think it does.
Romney's argument is that increasing American power--making the stick bigger--requires the United States to control what happens around the world. When it fails to do that, America's stick shrinks.
Romney has made comments to this effect on more than one occasion. Speaking to an audience in Virginia, Romney recently lamented: "Sometimes it seems that we're at the mercy of events instead of shaping events." While addressing the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Romney declared, "If we do not have the strength or vision to lead, then other powers will take our place." Romney suggested to donors at the secretly taped fundraiser that if he were commander in chief, he would have left 10,000 to 20,000 U.S. troops in Iraq rather than withdraw them all. And just last month, Romney told CBS News he'd consider sending troops to Syria. In Romney's view, it's this kind of aggressive use of American power that makes America's stick big.
Observers have pointed out that Romney's foreign policy actually resembles Obama's in many respects. Both men see the United States leading the world. But rather than get bogged down in speculation over what either man would do in various global hot spots, suffice it to say that the animating idea behind Romney's worldview differs from Obama's in that it requires a kind of activism the latter--who was described by an anonymous "adviser" during the Arab Spring as "leading from behind"--has been more reticent to show.
What does this have to do with Romney's use of metaphor? Just this: No matter who's in charge, the U.S. has been, and in four years will still be, the most powerful nation on the planet--the country with the biggest, pointiest stick. Compared to other countries, its size is gigantic, and it's been that way ever since World War II. How each president has chosen to wield that power has taken shape in different ways, but to talk about that exceeds the scope of the big-stick analogy. The fact is, even accounting for Romney's proposed $7.9 trillion addition to the defense budget that aims to make America's stick bigger in absolute terms, there's very little the two men are likely to do themselves to change the United States' power position relative to everyone else. From George W. Bush on down to Harry Truman, it's basically been the same stick the whole time.
For Romney's sentiment to make sense within the bounds of Roosevelt's analogy, his message would have to look something like this: America is powerful only when its stick is in motion, thwacking away at some international problem spot. Allowing the stick to rest leaves the United States emasculated and vulnerable. But, of course, Roosevelt never said anything about swinging the stick.
Despite the popular image of Roosevelt as a swashbuckling uber-American, his words have, over time, been cast and recast incorrectly as an endorsement of bellicosity. In fact, the president who stormed Kettle Hill as a younger man generally preferred letting the military's mere existence speak for itself. Historian Edmund Morris writes that the night Roosevelt first gave his big-stick speech, the then-vice president's words were rather misconstrued:
This generated such loud applause as to suggest the audience took his 'adage' as aggressive, rather than cautionary. Actually, Roosevelt was trying to say that soft-spoken (even secret) diplomacy should be the priority of a civilization, as long as hardness--of moral resolve, of military might--lay back of it.
Roosevelt's point wasn't that the United States should intervene at the drop of a hat--it was that talking politely and allowing others to perceive Washington's latent power would do more for it than it would to go around making examples of people.
Roosevelt's understated approach was apparent even in one of the highest-profile military deployments of his career. In 1907, the president dispatched a gigantic armada to circumnavigate the globe. The voyage of over a dozen steel battleships came to be known as the Great White Fleet, and part of the point was to demonstrate Washington's global naval capacity without firing a shot. Today, American ships roam the globe as a matter of course. Nobody needs convincing of America's military might, although the appearance of a destroyer or two, like the ones Obama dispatched to Libya immediately following the consulate attack, serves an effective reminder.
Romney would prefer that Obama be more aggressive with his foreign policy. That's a difference of opinion you can have a debate about. But it's misleading to claim that America's stick is any smaller now than when Obama inherited it from President Bush. It's equally disingenuous to suggest that under Romney, America's stick would get much better at beating people up.
This isn't just an academic exercise: Analogies are a common political decision-making tool, and failing to apply them correctly--or learning the wrong lessons from them--can lead to serious blunders.

Jenna Fischetti hopes no one else will have to go through what she did.
A transgender woman, Fischetti says she was fired from her car dealership job in 2004 after her employers discovered that while they knew her as a male at work, she adopted a female persona on weekends.
The official excuses for her dismissal kept shifting, but she said the real reason was clear enough — people just couldn't accept who she was.
A proposal before the General Assembly this year, however, would protect other transgender individuals from what Fischetti faced.
The Fairness for All Marylanders Act, sponsored by Montgomery County Sens. Richard S. Madaleno Jr. (D-Dist. 18) of Kensington and Jamie Raskin (D-Dist. 20) of Takoma Park, prohibits discrimination based on gender identity.
The bill offers the same protections for gender identity that are currently given to sexual orientation, race, religion, age, sex, marital status and national origin.
With 21 co-sponsors, the bill has "a tremendous cross-section of support within the Senate," Raskin said. "The victory of marriage equality [in 2012] demonstrated that Maryland is a state that believes in equal rights."
The state's transgender community deserves fair and equal treatment under the law, Raskin said. Those found guilty of such discrimination can face civil penalties of up to $500 for a first incident and up to $2,500 for a second incident, according to state law.
Similar legislation passed the House in 2011, by a vote of 86-52, but was sent back to committee in the Senate. Three of the senators who voted to recommit that version of the bill have signed on as co-sponsors of this year's measure.
A highly publicized attack on a transgender woman at a Rosedale McDonald's in April of that year, after the bill had failed, drew national attention to the issue.
In the past, critics of such measures have raised concerns that such a law could allow sexual predators to freely enter women's restrooms, but transgender activists argue there's no evidence that such anti-discrimination laws have led to harassment or assault.
Laws prohibiting discrimination based on gender identity are already on the books in Howard, Montgomery and Baltimore counties as well as Baltimore city.
"As we've been doing this over the years, we've seen opposition diminish," said Carrie Evans, executive director of the nonprofit advocacy group Equality Maryland. Sixteen states, as well as Washington, D.C., have enacted similar laws.
While last year's battle over same-sex marriage drew substantial opposition from religious leaders, the gender-identity issue tends to not provoke such fervor, Evans said. "It's hard to find a religious [argument against] people getting and keeping a job based on their merits," she said.
A similar bill, however, introduced by Raskin in 2012 and sidelined by the same-sex marriage debate, drew opposition from the Maryland Catholic Conference.
In written testimony to the Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee, the organization praised the compassionate intent of the bill but argued that it espoused "a fundamental violation of our society's basic understanding of the human person" and undermined "the inextricable link between a person's human nature and his or her identity as a man or woman."
Kathy Dempsey, a spokeswoman for the conference, said she had not yet reviewed this year's bill but expected the group's previous objections to remain.
Since leaving the car dealership, Fischetti, who lives in Baltimore, said she has mostly been able to find only low-wage retail jobs that pay less than $10,000 per year. But she qualified for need-based scholarship funds and recently decided to get a college degree from the University of Baltimore, where she is a first-year student.
Fischetti said she had always felt different from other boys as a child, started adopting her female persona part time around 2000 and has been living full time as a woman since 2009.
At 48, she said her age also has made it difficult to find steady work.
"Not as many employers like to hire people in their 40s and 50s," Fischetti said.
Difficult though it's been, she is thankful for the support she has received from friends and family.
"I'm still better off than a lot of people," Fischetti said. "Hopefully the [new law] will make a difference."
The bill is scheduled for a committee hearing Feb. 26, and supporters are planning a day of lobbying Feb. 18.

How the Pentagon Came to Adopt Criminal Abuse as Official Policy
Marty Lederman
In this week's New Yorker, Jane Mayer has written a must-read, definitive article laying out in great detail how certain Pentagon lawyers, led by Navy General Counsel Alberto Mora, stood up to Donald Rumsfeld and Jim Haynes in January 2003 and pleaded that the criminal conduct approved by Rumsfeld be ceased. Mora's efforts, recounted in a remarkable memorandum that he wrote to the Church Commission in 2004, brought an end to the unlawful abuse at Guantanamo on January 15, 2003. But then the efforts of Mora and others were swiftly and unceremoniously undermined by the promulgation of the April Working Group Report, which concluded that many unlawful techniques were in fact legal -- that criminal conduct, including violations of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, could be excused by authority of the Commander in Chief and through doctrines of "necessity" and "self-defense."
Those are very interesting questions, Prof. Lederman, that I, as a US citizen, feel that deserve an answer. Will those capable of obtaining it (Congress) act accordingly? It's about time.
I share Marty's admiration for the superlative professionalism of Jane Mayer and for the importance of this piece. It is important not only for all the light it sheds on what happened, but also for what it tells us about Alberto Mora, as a person and the moral courage that moved him throughout this process.
With respect to the Working Group Report, we should focus on the fact that, as the Fay/Jones Report tells us, it was furnished to COL Marc Warren and his JAG group in Iraq to provide a basis for the preparation of new Rules of Engagement for interrogation at Abu Ghraib and elsewhere in Iraq. It contributed to the direct corruption of the interrogation process through the introduction of techniques that the Fay/Jones Report itself acknowledged were "unlawful" (in fact, criminal). Who could possibly have done this? There are a number of names that come to the fore, but one before all others - we know that COL Warren's group was seeking guidance from DOD General Counsel Jim Haynes when the Working Group Report "was provided." The fact that Fay/Jones itself uses strangely passive language whenever the scene of the crime is linked to the Office of Secretary of Defense is not surprising considering the professional limitations on Department of the Army investigations. The real fault here lies with Congressional oversight committees, which should have gotten to the bottom of this matter and failed, and continue to fail, to do so.
Yawn . . . Mora was, quite obviously and despite his GOP bona fides, stuck in a pre-9/11 mindset. Isn't that obvious by virtue of his view that the executive branch is bound by the laws passed by Congress?
"isn't it obvious by virtue of his view that the executive branch is bound by the laws passed by congress?"
i certainly hope this is tongue in cheek. if not, it is a microcosm of what has gone wrong in this country. yes, the executive is bound by the laws passed by congress. isn't that part of the oath the man took? if he is unwilling to abide by that oath, he should simply resign, and leave the office to those who are. in the interim, he should acknowledge that this is a nation bound by the rule of law.
I'm fairly sure it was tongue in cheek.
My question is, where can I find out more about current thinking on extradition for war crimes? Are we arguably there yet -- at least legal-theoretically -- with Yoo, Rumsfeld, and Haynes? Do US laws or treaty obligations envision this possibility?
I'm not a big fan of the ICC (yet; open to argument), but a special court for the purpose might be OK with me. What does everyone else think?
What does everyone else think??
I prefer taking care of our own. Over at Dan Drezner's, I was suggesting that on the facts reported by Jane Mayer & others, Rumsfeld should be impeached.
Won't happen, but I think there's a pretty sound case for it, and it's much easier to argue for than impeaching Bush.

For the sexual assault survivor, the attack is just the beginning of the trauma. Afterward, she may experience at least some of the following feelings and reactions:
Just as most women do not report their sexual assault to authorities - fewer than 10 percent do, it is estimated - many victims will not tell anyone at all.
Choosing to deal with the assault on their own, many sexual assault survivors feel that keeping the assault quiet is their only way to regain control of their lives. Fear of being blamed for the assault, and a sense of isolation, contributes to the decision not to tell anyone, at least not right away.
Whether or not the survivor confides in someone, she may be in a kind of shock for days. The survivor may have a feeling of surrealism, an inability to process what is happening. A sexual assault survivor may appear calm but feel out of control. All of these reactions may mean the survivor is in shock. Shock anesthetizes the mind and body to help the victim survive the assault.
Relatively few sexual assault survivors choose to get professional counseling. Yet, for many women, it may be helpful to talk with a safe, caring, and supportive person.This information provided by, or adapted from information provided by, Mid-Valley Women's Crisis Service.

Sorry to burst everyone's bubble that is a photoshop. On the bottom of screen there is a logo icon of PS (PHOTOSHOP). I seen this logo design on Chris Creamer Logos the other day while browsing. I can make that in a heartbeat with my PS and PIXLR online it's ******* easy anyone can do it. In fact I will find it online clean it up and there you go it's out there it will be found trust me. The idiot who thought they could get away with it forgot to close PS and that it is a screen shot of our official web site but their work was done to it. It's plain as can be seen. Plus, if it was real the whole site would change not just that. Guys remember during Week 15 they changed it to and old school look for the entire week. I tweeted Mike Dee and asked him do you know anything about the web site logo for NEW ERA IN DOLPHINS FOOTBALL the scripted one. So far, no tweet back but, if it was real it would be on the site it is not. I am going to find out I will give an update soon. Plus his email firstname.lastname@example.com. If you want answers. I will search and find it and put it up once I do.
Who gives a ****.
Ignore the script logo for a moment... look at the logo in the top left of that picture. It looks like a blend between our retro logo and current logo. Our current logo has no white space in the center of the dolphin it like you can see in that picture.
Here's hoping; I'd be thrilled if that's what they settled on doing.
Someone with a season ticket account should try to log on to that part of the site and see if its for real!
No that's no were near our new logo, its not bad but I'm just saying.
The whole season, drink to that!
http://GIFSoup
I want to keep the ring of fire around our Dolphin though
Isn't the most likely place to find concepts of our new logo a design agency? What program do you think a designer who is working on logo concepts might use? Might he drop his latest idea into a Miami Dolphins web page to see if it fits the Miami brand values? Might somebody visiting the agency - maybe working with the designer in the chair opposite - take a quick snap over the guy's shoulder?
I have no idea what the answer is to any of the above questions, but it's just as valid a thought process as the idea that somebody would be bothered to set up an elaborate fake of a Miami Dolphins logo design.
I quite like the idea of the dolphin as D in a scripted logo. Does the helmet logo become the whole thing or just the dolphin?
Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better. - S. Beckett

I was saddened to hear today that Paul Newman has died. I never met him but our paths crossed, or nearly crossed, a few times.
The first time was when my wife and I took the kids on a driving vacation around New England about 20 years ago. We were on our way north to Quebec and stayed for a night at the North Hero House Inn. The owners had a photo album on display at the front desk. One of the photos showed Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward in an old VW beetle convertible at the inn. They had stayed there sometime before we were there but I don't remember how long before.
I know the North Hero House has different owners now but if you ever get to travel there (very nice place by the way), you can ask if they still have that photo album. I doubt they do - I'll bet the previous owners took it with them. But at least you can say you stayed the same place Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward stayed.
The drive up Route 2 through the islands is OK enough. Most people think more of it than I do. The islands looks better from the water I think. Rent a boat while you are there and see for yourself. It seems to me that the islands are like flat farmland most anywhere and they don't compare at all to the mountains a short distance away. Most of the time you are on Route 2 you cannot see the water except for a few exceptions like North Hero House
That's just one person's opinion. Travel to Vermont and look at both the mountains and the islands, and you can then write to tell me I'm right or wrong.
The other times I saw Paul Newman were at sports car races at Watkins Glen NY. My brother was racing and Paul Newman had the pit garage next to my brother's team a couple of times. The last time I saw Newman race was a few years ago when he was in his late 70's. He was an excellent driver and when I was watching practice sessions, I was very impressed with how much speed he was carrying through the corners in his car. It would have been impressive to see anyone going that fast but to see someone almost 80 years old hustling a car that hard was inspiring!
Godspeed, Paul Newman. I hope you enjoyed your visit to Vermont.

|Vote for the Best Bear for the Job
Did they have to make the ears stick out so much for the bear on the left? At least the bear on the right does not have age spots.
Who is the best bear to take on a bear of a job? You decide '08 . . . vote by purchasing the Obama Bear or the McCain Bear at Vermont Teddy Bear.
I imagine the company is keeping track of which one sells the most but they don't say anything on their website about releasing the results. It would be an interesting poll.
You can stop in their headquarters store in Shelburne VT, a few miles south of Burlington. You can also tour the factory there. The website link has information about tour and store hours.
VT Teddy Bear also has a store in Waterbury Center VT which has a full selection of bears and costumes plus a Pajama Gram outlet store where you can often find some very good bargains.
If you aren't traveling to Vermont before the election, you can order online of course and put your candidate on display for all to see - much more attention-getting than a bumper sticker or lapel pin.
I hope your candidate wins but, if not, you can curl up with your "best candidate" bear to comfort you through the next four years.

|Amazing Puppet Shows Sept 12 - 21
Image from Les Sages Fous (Québec)
This is the sixth year for the Puppets in the Green Mountains festival, an collection of amazing puppet shows from around the world.
The festival begins with a two day showing by Animals of Brazil, a musical without words. More than 50 puppets are used during the production to represent the animals found the Brazilian jungle. The first presentation on September 12 is outdoors at Living Memorial Park and the second is indoors at the Bellows Falls Opera House on Sept 14.
On September 17 at 7:30 pm, there is an open symposium called "When Images Speak Louder Than Words: The Power of Visual Theater." It will be held at the Brattleboro Museum and Art Center.
The next day, the Carnival of Taiwanese Hand Puppetry (Happy Puppetry Company) will give a noon performance at the Bellows Falls Opera House. At 8:00 pm on the same date, Bulgarian puppeteers will present "Daddys Always Right" at the New England Youth Theater in Brattleboro.
The Happy Puppetry Company from Taiwan will perform again at noon on September 19 in the Latchis Theater, Brattleboro. "Family audiences will not want to miss this. Great epics, hilarious clowning, stunning acrobatic and martial arts, are all part of the repertoire of these extraordinary wooden actors."
There are many other performances - too long a list to get into the details here. The best thing to do is to study the online schedule and plan your attendance.
Ticket information is also available on the website.

|There Really is a Town Named Podunk
And naturally it's in Vermont, world center of tiny towns and villages located in the middle of nowhere.
I have John Hughes to thank for placing this photo on his wonderful Megapickles website. I cropped the sign photo from a much larger photo of a nice looking field in Podunk so click on the link to see a better image.
I have written about his website several times previously because it one of my favorites and is superbly well done I think - a new photograph every day! To see a wonderful series of pastoral Vermont photos, check this month's photos. One great Vermont photograph after another.
Google Maps says there are Podunks in CT, PA, and two in MI. Two! Whoever heard of two towns in the same state with the same name?
Vermont's Podunk is located in the southern part of the state so if you are going to be in the Brattleboro, Bennington, Manchester area, you can take a nice drive in the country to see it. Don't forget to take your camera so you can have bragging rights that you have been everywhere including Podunk.
And finally, there is a website called ePodunk that I have used a few times to do some research. It has good statistics and other information on most every town and city in the US including our beloved Podunk VT.

|Dog Sled Rides and Skijouring in Vermont
Photo courtesy of October Siberians
I read today that the famous Alaska Iditarod race is starting this Saturday and it lead me to thinking about all the sled dog activity here in Vermont. (Side note: many participants in the sport prefer the term "sled dog" rather than "dog sled" but you will see both terms used even by the people who run professional operations.)
In fact, if you would like to see a sled dog race and won't be in Alaska this week, there is a race you can watch at Burke Mountain Ski Resort in East Burke VT. There will be races both Saturday and Sunday.
A number of operations around Vermont offer sled dog rides and a couple of them offer skijoring too. Skijoring is done on skis and involves the dog(s) pulling the person via a harness attached to the dog. I've seen skijor racing a couple of times and it's impressive how fast they get going. You certainly don't want to fall down . . . I'm not sure the dogs would stop for a while - they're pretty enthusiastic.
The best one-stop source of information about sled dog rides in on the Vermont Outdoor Guide Association website. Atii is listed as one of the sled dog outfits but they are taking a year off from sled dog rides because they are rebuilding their group of dogs. Many of the current dogs have gotten too old to pull. However, Atii is still offering skijoring this year.
It's a unique adventure. Give it a try.

Miami Nice :: Heralding the Winter Party
Download Now
Life's a beach, all right, especially when you're partying alongside a couple of thousand other men and women on a specially built dance floor steps from the Atlantic Ocean. As a veteran who has wearied himself on dance floors from Sydney to Vienna, Montreal to Palm Springs, and all points in between, I speak from experience: Miami's Winter Party ranks somewhere at the top of the list.
Anyone who has experienced this mammoth event, which includes not only the dance floor, speakers and DJ booth but bars, kiosks, stage areas and shady resting spots, understands why people from all over the world consider it a "must." Beyond the Winter Party itself, which this year takes place Sunday, March 10, from noon to 7 p.m., a week's worth of activities comprise a shopping trip, an art excursion, a jazz brunch -- and, oh yes, plenty of dance parties.
The order of the DJs for the Winter Party itself is still up in the air. But I suspect that Brett Henrichsen, known for his upbeat, peppy selections, will open, with Joe Gauthreaux, who can veer a bit harder, carrying the music into the sunset. For the other events, several DJ slots remain open, as do a few venues. But the schedule is set, and it represents a range that belies the myth that Circuit parties are limited to hard-bodied muscle boys spending day after day on the dance floor.
A Rainbow of Events
ArtScape, an exhibition and auction on March 7, befits a city that has become known for its galleries and gargantuan art fair, Art Basel. The next night highlights another cultural sphere in which Miami has become justly world famous. A shopping spree naturally focuses on Lincoln Road, the South Beach pedestrian-exclusive street where chic boutiques sell only-in-Miami Art Deco-inspired merchandise. For women planning to attend the Winter Party (yes, there are scores of women), prepping for the rigors of all that dancing in the sun should include lots of mimosas or Bloody Marys consumed at the March 10 Jazz Brunch. The leather crowd gets its own event, "Sweat." The location is still to be announced, but you can count on it happening in Fort Lauderdale, which is much more leather-oriented than its sister city half an hour to the south.
The dance parties are taking place on and off the beach. Buses will be provided to take those staying in South Beach hotels to and from the downtown Miami clubs. Many parties will take place on the beach. They include Thursday's "Ignite" at Score on Lincoln Road, with international superstars Chris Cox and Tony Moran; the March 9, daytime pool party, being held once again at gorgeous Deco host Hotel Shelborne; and "WE Party:Formula-Boiling Point," the after-party Sunday night at Mansion.
The latter is a real coup for the Winter Party. Mansion, along with Cameo, is one of the last big rooms in South Beach. Organized jointly with Henrichsen's Masterbeat group, it brings the WE Party, one the sexiest parties in Spain (and that's saying a lot!), and Madrid DJ Manuel Diego. It's entirely appropriate that the Winter Party, which will include "Pa'Ella," a Latin dance night March 8, increasingly has a salsa flavor and caliente temperature, since Miami is America's gateway to Latin America and its most Hispanic major metropolis. In keeping with that influence, "Under One Sun," the Saturday pool party, will offer Rafael Calvente, a Brazilian DJ well known there for spinning Heaven and Hell, a gay dance mega-event in Bahia, Brazil.
Securing Mansion and Diego may bring another plus, in that it could deter certain parties from planning a concurrent event. In past years, the Winter Party (as well as the Thanksgiving Weekend White Party, also held in Miami) has had to compete for patrons. Privately held, and with none of the income going to any White Party beneficiaries (or to any other charity, for that matter), these parties have divided the crowd and become an unfortunate distraction. So here's hoping that the good guys win the night!

Do the Giants have an elite defense?
That's a fair question to ask, right?
SF D's allowed 14 PPG(opposing O's averaged 27 PPG in reg seasons) +13
Eli led offenses to 18 PPG in SBs(opposing D's allowed avg of 19 PPG) -1
NYG D's allowed 16 PPG(opposing O's averaged 34 PPG) + 18
which was better?
---------- Post added at 10:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:45 AM ----------
Furthermore, rail on him for the regular season all you want but he's never led the Giants to a losing season since taking over a full season as starter. You don't know what you're arguing.
But you're also the guy who campaigned hard for Chad Pennington, Herm Edwards, and then Eric Mangini--so your football opinions are questionable on their best days
Chad was a very good QB, herm a good HC for us and I don't remember going nuts for Mangini but none of that has anything to do w/ this topic. Nice deflection.
Never a losing season? has mark sanchez ever led his team to a losing season? not even as a rookie where eli was 1-6 as a rookie
NFC East is weak?
stop trying to deflect from your weak argument
