Who was the first woman to receive an honorary degree from Georgetown?
The University awarded its first honorary doctorate in 1821. It was not until 1934, two hundred and thirty seven honorary degrees later, that one was awarded to a woman.
Genevieve G. Brady. Mrs. Brady, widow of New York financier Nicholas F. Brady, had earlier donated to Georgetown literary manuscripts and first editions collected by her late husband. Included in her donation were the "Crewe" manuscript, textually the most important extant, of Richard Brinsley Sheridan's The School for Scandal, and the holograph manuscript of Mark Twain's The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, among the most important surviving manuscripts in the field of 19th-century American letters. Georgetown's special collections in English and American literature began with this donation.
Mrs. Brady was widely known for her philanthropic activities and work on behalf of youth and Catholic education. She had succeeded Louise [Mrs. Herbert] Hoover as national chair of the Girl Scouts of America and was vice chair under Eleanor Roosevelt of the National Women's Committee of the Welfare and Relief Mobilization which was set up to help those affected by the Great Depression.

In a three sentence response to Megyn Kelly's question on the matter, Babs said it was good of CNN pundit Hilary Rosen to apologize for her Romney remarks, but that ultimately, this crap doesn't really matter. She said, "Forget it. Women who stay at home are wonderful. Women who go to work are wonderful. Whatever."

INTERVIEW: Audien at Electric Zoo
Listen to Audien on iHeartRadio
Audien got his start in music very early on, and since then, he's managed to create chart-topping music supported by some of the biggest guys in dance music, including Pete Tong.
This year alone, he put out his hit tracks "Wayfarer," "Iris," and even a remix of Bruno Mars' "Treasure." He has also remixed Armin van Buuren's "This Is What It Feels Like."
But creating music is only part of what Nate Rathbun does. He has been spreading his music, by playing all over the world at some of the most renowned clubs and festivals.
We got to sit down with the young producer at Electric Zoo in New York City after his set on the main stage. He talked about his music, upcoming bus tour with Morgan Page, remixing Bruno Mars, and revealed he has two brand new singles on the way - which he played in his main stage Electric Zoo set! Check it out below:
How was playing at Electric Zoo on the main stage?
It was really cool. Everyone showed up really early, and it was almost packed up right when I got on. So I was really happy. I haven't been [to Electric Zoo] before. I always wanted to go and I'm glad that the first time I was here I was able to play!
You are about to shoot a video for "Leaving You?"
Very much so. It's gonna be really cool because this is my first video, and I want my first video to be an awesome video of course! We're really gonna put a lot of effort into it and make it as cool as possible. We got a really amazing lyric video done for it [already]. It's gonna be like showcasing the lyrics but in a very animated sense. It's really amazing. I can't wait to release it so.
Tell us about "Iris" - it's been, it's been doing really well! Pete Tong has been playing it on "All About Pete Tong."
Oh Iris is just a track that I've always wanted to do. You know, after I did this track "Wayfarer" on Anjunabeats, it was my biggest track. Everyone was playing it and I wanted to do something with that same melodic signature. So I did Iris and it's kind of in the same feeling almost as Wayfarer, but it's very unique in it's own way.
You also remixed Armin van Buuren's "This Is What It Feels Like?"
Brand new. [That was] really good. When Armada put out "Leaving You" and "This Is What It Feels Like," I feel like those were the two kind of like, radio tracks for Armada at the moment. It made sense to me to do that [the remix], because I love that song and I like remixing radio tracks. For me radio tracks are really understandable. They're really like melodic and just fun, and that's why I really like that one. So it's perfect.
Speaking of radio tracks, you also remixed Bruno Mars?
I did, yeah. [It was] amazing. That's one of my favorite remixes I've done so far, along with the Arman one!
Are you a Bruno Mars fan?
Yeah, absolutely. I think everything he does is always different you know. So you never know what he's gonna do next.
[Buy Bruno Mars - "Treasure" (Audien Remix) on Beatport]
Who else do you listen to outside of dance music?
I listen to a lot. I have a billion artists I love. I love a lot of hip hop.
Do you have a favorite rapper?
I like Kendrick Lamar a lot. It's just so many. It's insane. But I listen to a lot of drum & bass as well, just like kind of underground liquid drum & bass. Like the melodic stuff - I love that. And a lot of down tempo. I'm a big Bonobo fan. I don't know if anyone [knows him], I don't know if any dance music guys would know Bonobo, but he's amazing, down tempo like really really classic stuff.
Tell us about your upcoming tour with Morgan Page?
It's gonna be my first bus tour, so it's gonna be a little insane but I'm looking forward to that a lot so. I'll probably sleep a lot in that bus so I'm just looking forward to it. It's gonna be really cool.
What are the essentials to have on the bus with you? What do you need to have?
My laptop, a lot of clothes. I'll probably get new clothes anyway. My headphones. I'm gonna try and produce a lot while I'm on that bus. I never want to stop producing. Like if I stop producing for a week I'm starting to get withdrawals so.
You're also going up to Montreal with Laidback Luke?
Yeah, I've always wanted to meet him. He's a big inspiration so great DJ. Amazing!
Who else are your inspirations?
I have a lot. I really like what Madeon is doing. He's really amazing. That new one, "Technicolor" is like one of my favorite tracks right now, he's great.
What else are you working on right now?
I have a couple of new singles done - very good vocalists on there. One of them especially, a lot of people would recognize! It's a male vocal... So I'm looking forward to those but we're gonna be definitely pushing "Leaving You" for a while because I still love that track just as much as when I first made it. So I think it has some staying power for sure.
Since we are at Electric Zoo if you were an animal, what animal would you be?
I would definitely be a fish of some sort. Yeah. I don't know because like I like to swim. Swimming is good. It's good exercise and I'm a fish. I'm definitely a fish. I feel like a fish. Probably like one of those really deep sea ones with a big teeth, [and ] like ugly.

Have a Good Time for Me (1973)
Jonathan Edwards is not considered a "country" artist per se, probably due to the success of "Sunshine" from his 1971 self-titled debut, but on his ... Show synopsis Jonathan Edwards is not considered a "country" artist per se, probably due to the success of "Sunshine" from his 1971 self-titled debut, but on his follow-up to the Jonathan Edwards album, Honky-Tonk Stardust Cowboy, and some of his discs on Reprise, most notably Sailboat and Rockin' Chair, he is indeed that. Have a Good Time for Me is a departure from Honky-Tonk Stardust Cowboy in that the artist is covering music by three of the songwriters from the Castle Hill Publishing group, a company owned by co-producer Peter Casperson, who also managed Edwards. Without the original compositions that were the bulk of the previous release, Edwards has an opportunity to put his stamp on outside material, which he does so well. There's an excellent cover of Jimmie Rodgers' "Travelin' Blues," along with a lively, almost gospel rendition of the traditional "When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder." The album starts off with longtime collaborator Eric Lilljequist's "Have Yourself a Good Time for Me," which would appear in a different form on Lilljequist's More Orphan Than Not album a year later. On that album, Edwards was pretty much a bandmember, his photo on the cover with the other musicians. Here, "Have a Good Time" is lighter and more introspective, a forlorn statement to a significant other who can't stay true, a perfect sentiment for country radio. "My Home Ain't in the Hall of Fame" sounds like Bostonian John Lincoln Wright, and one wonders had the two teamed up, how they might have decimated the country charts with hits. David Bromberg shows up on electric guitar, and the tune reappeared on Edwards' next album, the live Lucky Day, which actually has Orphan backing him up nine months after the recording of this LP. But it is in this context on Have a Good Time for Me where Edwards excels as an interpreter: "Something borrowed from the friends of gold" the singer writes in his poem inside the gatefold of an album. If you've had it in your collection for years, you may find strange white blotches appearing on the front and back cover; the singer explained that he demanded and got it released on recycled materials. Along with the poem, it is his calligraphy lettering inside and out, making for a very personal collection of material that didn't come from his pen, but does! Interesting indeed how he takes Malcolm McKinney's "Thirty Miles to Go" and makes it his own. McKinney contributes two titles here; Joe Dolce is represented with three; and Eric Lilljequist has four, including the title song. Dolce's "King of Hearts" has more of the pop flavor Edwards' fans from radio expect, the album working because the musicianship from Al Anderson, Bromberg, Stuart Schulman, Bill Keith, Lilljequist, Bill Elliot, and others blends in perfectly behind the singer. With the success of the Eagles at this point in time, one wonders why this album didn't do much much more. Perhaps it was too pure in its approach. It remains a very listenable and courageous work by an artist not content to clone past success but willing to follow his instincts. ~ Joe Viglione, Rovi

Federal Government is Longtime Supporter of Fracking
Friday August 23 marked the end of the public comment period for the Department of Interior's draft "fracking rule" (see PDF) on public lands. The rule, originally proposed by Interior's Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in May 2013, has three main components: it would require drillers to disclose the chemicals used in fracking on public lands; it would setup standards for well integrity to safeguard against groundwater contamination; and it would require drillers to have a plan in place to deal with flow back.
Download PDF (552.8kb)
The oil and gas industry have put up stiff resistance with cries that regulation will kill off any hopes of "energy independence." House Republicans oppose the measure, and as Greenwire reported, Rep. Bill Flores (R-TX) put forth legislation that would block BLM's fracking rule. Flores, the former CEO of Phoenix Exploration, an oil and gas company, argued at a subcommittee hearing in July, "[t]he Bill before us today is about empowering local self-government in placing a check on the growth of an out-of-control, one-size-fits-all federal government." Congressman Flores seemed to have not realized (or more likely willfully ignored) that BLM's rule applies to federal lands, not state lands.
Despite vociferous rhetoric from Republicans in Congress and the oil and gas industry to the contrary, the federal government has long-been in bed with the industry.
In 2005 President George W. Bush signed the Energy Policy Act into law (then Senator Obama supported the bill) with a provision that specifically exempted fracking activities from certain provisions in the Safe Drinking Water Act, the Clean Water Act, and the Clean Air Act. The provision is known as the "Halliburton loophole" as it was included at the request of then Vice President Dick Cheney. The loophole has successfully removed the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) authority to regulate fracking.
Some members of Congress have since fought to close the loophole, without success. Rep. Diane DeGette (D-CO) sponsored The Fracturing Responsibility and Awareness of Chemicals Act in 2009 (see PDF) that would have repealed the Halliburton loophole, but it died in committee.
When Barack Obama took office in January 2009, there was new hope that the oil and gas industry would no longer receive such favorable treatment. In 2009 the EPA began sampling wells in Pavillion, WY in response to complaints from local residents near drilling sites that their well water appeared to be dark and dirty, and smelled of petroleum. EPA officials ran tests in areas fracked by Encana Oil & Gas in what would become a closely watched study because of its potential impact on future regulation of the industry.
In 2011 the EPA issued a draft report with results from Wyoming that discovered the presence of synthetic chemicals used in the fracking process. It also found benzene in quantities above what is considered safe, as well as high levels of methane. The report was the first significant and official link between fracking and groundwater contamination. The industry disputed the findings, arguing that the report was flawed, but the study was seemingly a watershed moment in the unfolding fracking narrative.
Yet, on June 20, 2013, EPA dropped its investigation and handed it over to the state of Wyoming.
The decision came only five days before President Obama laid out his plan to fight climate change in a major speech at Georgetown University, which relied heavily on natural gas. Environmental groups are outraged over what they see as a calculated political move by the White House, directing the EPA to stop work on the study.
Because natural gas theoretically emits only half of the greenhouse gases compared to coal, President Obama made increased natural gas production a central pillar of his plan, stating, "Sometimes there are disputes about natural gas, but let me say this: We should strengthen our position as the top natural gas producer because, in the medium term at least, it not only can provide safe, cheap power, but it can also help reduce our carbon emissions."
By favoring natural gas, the President seemed to be providing cover for other parts of his climate plan, which may over time force the shutdown of many of the nation's existing coal plants. He is using natural gas to kill off coal.
This is why, some think, the EPA was pressured into backing off its fracking study, handing over responsibility to the state of Wyoming. The study will be funded by Encana, the company that owns the wells in the area.
Industry supporters cheered, as did Wyoming's congressional delegation. In a press release, Senator John Barrasso (R) said, "EPA's decision to not rely on premature conclusions in its 2011 draft report is a positive and wise step." Congresswoman Cynthia Lummis (R) added, "Today they finally recognized that the very best place for their report on fracking in Pavillion is in the dust bin of history."
The fact that the administration seems to be fully embracing natural gas does not bode well for rigorous regulatory oversight. And for the first time, industry is looking to lease Eastern national forests. While the oil and gas industry may oppose BLM's proposed fracking rule for fear of burdensome regulation, if history is any guide, they have little reason to worry.

MIDDLETOWN, Ohio (AP) -- The new Cincinnati State college campus in Middletown is off to a good start in enrollment, and leaders of the southwest Ohio city are also pleased.
More than 350 students are enrolled for courses that include in-class, online and combined classes this fall. There have been 212 new full-time students, topping a first-year goal of 200. And applications for spring semester have been running strong, with applications also already coming in for summer and fall 2013.
City leaders are pleased about the impact the campus is having on its downtown. Buildings are being renovated, and the students and staff are adding economic activity and leading to more development, The Middletown Journal reported (http://bit.ly/UieSEv).
"We're seeing a heck of a lot more activity downtown than we had two or three years ago," said Dan Picard, vice mayor of the city between Cincinnati and Dayton along Interstate 75. "The growth is continuing, and I see nothing but good things happening in our future."
Cincinnati State Middletown opened Aug. 29, with project help from Boston-based Higher Education Partners.
The Cincinnati State Technical & Community College is already expressing interest in more expansion in Middletown. The school will receive from the county the former Butler County Workforce One office, and is interested in obtaining a former bank building.
"I think we've done a great job in staying engaged with the students and staying engaged in the community," said Michael Chikeleze, Middletown campus director. "It's been a wonderful experience and we hope to do more and to grow more."
Mayor Larry Mulligan is on an ad hoc committee with Cincinnati State President Dr. O'dell Owens, and has talked with local businesses about workforce development and co-op education programs.
"I see a lot of continued growth," said Mulligan, added that the campus is a good complement to Miami University's longstanding Middletown campus. "They have a nice fit. They balance out what were offering with Miami University."

PHILADELPHIA – Five Penn baseball players have earned All-Star nods in the summer leagues, highlighting a summer where 19 players have scattered around the country to begin preparations for the 2014 season.
On July 17, a pair of Penn players factored in the win for Team South in the Cal Ripken League All-Star Game in Bethesda, Md. Ronnie Glenn earned the win in relief, striking out a pair in a scoreless fifth inning. Shortstop Ryan Mincher went 1-for-2, driving in his team's first run of the game. Both players are playing for the Alexandria Aces in the Cal Ripken League, a club which currently sits in third place. Mincher is hitting .312 this summer, leading the Aces with 29 hits. Glenn is 3-1 over seven starts, leading the Aces with 34 strikeouts over 41.0 innings of work.
Connor Cuff was named an All-Star in the Coastal Plains League, pitching a scoreless third inning in the East's 3-2 win on July 8 in Hampton, Va. Cuff is pitching this summer for the Edenton (N.C.) Steamers in the CPL, and is 3-1 with a 2.73 ERA in six starts. The Steamers won the first-half championship for their division and are 26-8 overall this summer.
Mitch Montaldo was named an All-Star in the Hamptons League where he plays for league-leading West Hampton. Montaldo is tied for the Aviators' team lead in home runs with five this summer, which ranks second among all players in the Hamptons League.

In 1935, the 44th Legislature (Senate Bill 146, Regular Session), responding to recommendations made in 1933 by the Joint Legislative Committee on Organization and Economy, created the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) for the purpose of placing under a single jurisdiction the state's functions in crime prevention and traffic control programs. The original Department was composed of the Texas Rangers, removed from the Adjutant General's Department; the State Highway Patrol, taken from the State Highway Department; and the Headquarters Division, composed of the Bureau of Identification and Records, the Bureau of Intelligence, the Bureau of Communications, the Bureau of Education, and various administrative and service units. Other divisions were added in later years, as needed (see divisional descriptions). A Certificate of Title Division was created in 1939 (House Bill 407, 46th Legislature, Regular Session) and administered by DPS until its transfer to the Highway Department in 1941.
By 1956, the Department had reconstituted the Headquarters Division into a number of major divisions and had added several new divisions to create a total of fourteen, each of which was headed by a Chief who answered to the Director. To alleviate this unwieldy structure, the 55th Legislature authorized the reorganization of DPS (House Bill 325, Regular Session, 1957). The Department then created six regional commands, each headed by a senior officer who was placed in command of the region's Highway Patrol, License and Weight program, Motor Vehicle Inspection program, Driver's License program, Communications, and Safety Education Service. Each Regional Headquarters also contained a limited crime laboratory. The Texas Rangers were assigned to six companies, each headed by a captain, with the same boundaries as the regional commands. The Narcotics and Intelligence Sections operated state-wide out of the Austin headquarters. Supporting headquarters divisions, sections and bureaus were consolidated into four divisions: Identification and Criminal Records; Personnel and Staff Services; Driver and Vehicle Records; and the Inspection and Planning Division.
By this time DPS had evolved into the state police agency, charged with enforcing laws, preserving order, and protecting the rights, privileges, property, and well-being of Texas citizens. Its responsibilities fell into three major categories: crime suppression and control, motor vehicle highway transportation and management, and disaster and emergency activities. To meet these responsibilities, the Department's divisions operated the following programs: crime control, police traffic supervision, driver licensing, vehicle inspection, safety responsibility, accident records, safety education, disaster and emergency services, and police training. It enforced criminal laws in cooperation with local, federal, and other state law enforcement agencies.
The policy making body of DPS is the three member Texas Public Safety Commission, appointed by the governor with the advice and consent of the Senate for overlapping six year terms. The positions are non-salaried and the governor appoints the chair. All members must have knowledge of the law, experience in law enforcement, honesty, integrity, education, and executive ability. The Commission appoints a Public Safety Director to serve as the executive officer of DPS.

Is Condi turning all lefty on us now that she has left Washington? What happened to defending good old social conservative values, like restricting country clubs to old white men? The Republicans aren't called the GOB (good old boy) party for nothing.

The Weekly covers Palo Alto and Stanford, among other local cities. That's why Condoleezzo Rice is a local story, just like all the Stanford Olympic athletes. Plus, this is a fairly historic event since all-male Augusta not allowing females has been a national story for years. Now, it's a local story, as well.

And I am SHOCKED, SHOCKED(I'm being facetious) that Condi never made one comment about the "legitimate rape" comments by the caveman from Missouri. Yes, she and Augusta definitely deserve each other.

So what? So does George Schultz, and thousands of other people. Ms. Rice is no longer an "accountable" public figure, so probably should be afforded her privacy .. rather than some sort of target for the loony left.

"so probably should be afforded her privacy .. rather than some sort of target for the loony left."

Wondering?? "Ms. Rice is no longer an "accountable" public figure, so probably should be afforded her privacy"
Ha! That's funny. [Portion removed by Palo Alto Online staff.]
Condi is all over the public spectrum, from being promoted to speak at the RNC Web Link to being a fashion model for hawking NFL apparel Web Link Want a list of her recent paid speeches? Go to google.
Wake up.
Though I agree with you -- why would anybody pay to hear the worst National Security Advisor in history, is beyond me.
"BEN-VENISTE: Isn't it a fact, Dr. Rice, that the August 6th PDB warned against possible attacks in this country? And I ask you whether you recall the title of that PDB?

And that makes her an accountable public figure? She is not employed
by any government agency as employee is she? She is not making any decisions that affect people's lives, or the nation's security. She is, at the moment, a private person.
> NFL apparel
And what makes that in anyway accountable. It's very unlikely that anyone would carry a story about her flogging products like these.
> And you use the oxymoron "loony left" a couple of days
> after the "legitimate rape" and "women can't get pregnant
> from rape" comments???
It was a slip of the tongue, no doubt. Does this fellow have a history of such gaffes? Or was it a one time occurrence? If no history, all of the hysteria of this single comment is a clear example of what the "loony left" is capable of.
By the way, it's kind of interesting that the left-wing media is all over this story, but hasn't shown much interest in this one--
Web Link
Minn. Rep. Kerry Gauthier caught with zipper down... literally. Admits to having 'no strings attached' sex with 17-year-old boy at rest stop, police say
So .. which is more despicable? A verbal gaffe, or public sex with a minor? And guess who the "loony left" is calling upon to quit?
a resident of Atherton
on Aug 21, 2012 at 3:31 pm
Wondering: Condi is public figure. Any sane person understands that is if she is portraying her jersey clad body in an ad, giving speeches and appearing at the RNC -- she's a public figure and subject to the ridicule she so obviously earned with Bush/Cheney. Sorry you don't agree.
That said, glad we both agreed she is the worst National Security Advisor in history.
Much of the Left is NOT calling on Todd Akin to quit -- he highlights just how far to the extreme that most of the Republican party sits:
Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney have the same views as Todd Akin.
From the thread by Farm Girl, since closed: Web Link
>> "Republicans drafting their party's official policy platform on Tuesday ratified a call for a Constitutional ban on abortion that makes no exceptions for rape or incest." Web Link
VP candidate Paul Ryan is on board with taking all rights away from women. Paul Ryan co-sponsored the Sanctity of Life Act WITH TODD AKIN and co-sponsored or voted for by virtually all of the GOP, which defines a fertilized egg as a person and grants it "all the legal and constitutional attributes and privileges of Personhood." No exceptions. Web Link Ryan also co-sponsored a national forced ultrasound bill.
No exceptions if your daughter's life may be at risk. No exceptions if your granddaughter is raped -- your granddaughter must carry her rapist's baby. Paul Ryan also co-sponsored the "forcible rape" redefinition in HR3 Web Link Does Republican VP candidate Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney not understand that "rape is rape"?
Mitt Romney's position on Personhood, which takes all choice away from women, takes away most forms of The Pill, takes away in-vitrio fertilization, a procedure Mitt's own boys used?
>> "HUCKABEE: Would you have supported a constitutional amendment that would have established the definition of life at conception?
>> ROMNEY: Absolutely."

[Portion removed by Palo Alto Online staff.]
If men could get pregnant, abortion would be federally funded and abortion clinics would be adjacent to sport bars.
Condi Rice, the worst, most disastrous and most incompetent national security advisor(and secretary of state) in US history gave an interview to a major a few weeks ago in which she attacked the President for not believing in US exceptionalism, so much for Condi staying out of public affairs. She couldn't be bothered though to criticize Akin's horrendous comments.
a resident of College Terrace
on Aug 21, 2012 at 4:08 pm
I find it odd that people are cheering that Augusta has admitted a certain few select women. Augusta is finally being dragged kicking and screaming into the 20th century, let alone the 21st and people think this is a great leap forward? [Portion removed by Palo Alto Online staff.] Condi should have turned this down and told them to ask her again when they have admitted 100 other women and then maybe she might consider it.

Lloyd Blankfein on Finding and Training the Best People
Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein spoke about the importance of finding, training and retaining the best people to work in our firm at the 2011 Bank of America Merrill Lynch Banking and Financial Services Investor Conference.
"This is a human business, done person to person," he said, "A client relationship is only as strong as the Goldman Sachs professionals managing that relationship. As a result, the single most important thing we can do to enhance the value of our business is to continue to hire the best and brightest people from around the world."
He went on to give some statistics on our last few years of recruiting and training:
• Almost 300,000 people applied for full-time positions at Goldman Sachs in 2010 and 2011. Since 2001, we have hired more than 40,000 people.
• Nine out of ten people who were offered a job with us accepted even though most had multiple offers.
• This year, we expect to provide 800,000 hours of training to our people—an average of 25 hours per person.
Mr. Blankfein said that recruiting and training are key to our firm's future:
"When I think about the combination of talented, results-oriented individuals and a broad, deep and global client franchise, I am even more confident that when the economy turns—and it will—Goldman Sachs will be in a very strong position to create long-term value for our shareholders."
The speech covered a wide range of other topics, including the future of the economy and the finance industry as a whole. Visit this page to listen to a webcast of his presentation, or to read a transcript of his remarks.

No region of the United States has a stronger, more deeply rooted, or more characteristically regional modernist architecture than the Pacific Northwest. Nowhere is the concern for environmental sustainability more interwoven with the modernist approach. And for a generation, no architecture firm has played as central a role in exploring, advancing, and celebrating this way of creating buildings as The Miller|Hull Partnership. After some three decades of the firm's existence, one cannot discuss regional modernism or sustainable architecture in the Pacific Northwest without reckoning the unique influence it has had—and continues to exert—on both.
For founding partners David Miller, FAIA, and Robert Hull, FAIA, though, the road to Pacific Northwest regional modernism led very far from the shores of Puget Sound. The two met as architecture students at Washington State University in Pullman, Wash., graduating at the height of the Vietnam War. Given the alternatives available to young men at the time, Hull says, "Both Dave and I chose the Peace Corps."
Miller worked for two years on self-help housing projects in Brazil, building with site-produced blocks of stabilized earth, before returning to the United States and earning a Master of Architecture degree from the University of Illinois. Hull designed schools in Afghanistan, drawing lessons from the ancient building types he encountered there. "One of those lessons," he says, "was passive solar." On sunny winter days, Hull found, "the best place to be was not inside but outside, next to a mud-brick wall." Thus the model for the schools the Peace Corps built: "a string of classrooms and a string of courtyards." Warmed by the sun during the winter, the buildings offered shade in the summer and opened to the northwest, taking advantage of seasonal winds for passive cooling. "These were sustainable ideas that had been around for 2,000 years," Hull says. As he and Miller would find, they were ideas that had applications closer to home.
green shoots After four years in Afghanistan, Hull returned to the U.S. and found work with Marcel Breuer and Associates in New York City. He also reconnected with Miller, then working for Rhone & Iredale Architects in Vancouver, British Columbia. When an economic recession took the fun out of working in New York, Hull joined Miller in Vancouver, where business remained relatively healthy. By the late 1970s, the two had opened a branch office of Rhone & Iredale in Seattle, where in 1980 they declared independence as The Miller|Hull Partnership.
It was an auspicious place and time for a new firm focused on buildings that worked with the environment. Seattle's population was educated and environmentally aware, and the energy shocks of the 1970s had jolted the country into a new cognizance of where its heat and electricity came from. "The long gas lines … the cost of fuel shooting up," Hull remembers. "People were desperately looking for alternative building approaches. They wanted to be independent."
Seattle is a long way from Kabul, but its diffuse winter sunlight delivers a useful amount of energy. In both feasibility and client interest, Hull says, "The door was wide open on passive solar." The region's topography lent itself to earth-sheltered construction, and that, he says, "was part of our vocabulary too." Periods of uncertainty often yield opportunities for new ideas to flourish, and Miller|Hull hatched at just such a moment. "We didn't have to do architecture that people had seen before," Hull says. "We were inventing our own architecture."
locus focus
So were many others, of course—much of it undistinguished, at best. Miller|Hull produced buildings that were more than mere solar collectors, that pursued architectural rigor and delight, as well as thermal performance and environmental virtue. The firm's houses have always been shaped by their sites—often hillsides with views—and by the region's climate, but they also embrace modernist principles and build upon the work of previous generations of local architects. "Our design approach has always been to deal with structure as part of the aesthetic of the building," Miller says, "and that came out of the early Northwest modernism of Arne Bystrom, FAIA; Paul Hayden Kirk; and others—the Seattle School, as it was called. We were reinventing that approach."
Extending themes already well-established in the region, Miller and Hull inserted their buildings even more subtly into the landscape, gave them a bolder geometry, and made economical and inventive use of off-the-shelf industrial materials. In every Miller|Hull building, large openings—most famously in the form of glazed garage doors—allow freedom of view and access to the outdoors. "That's always been a big part of our expression," Hull says: "the operability of our walls." Deep, overhanging eaves shed winter's rain and provide shade during the dry summer. Uncomplicated forms, local materials, and an insistent bias toward structure over finish recall the region's industrial and maritime structures and the architecture of its indigenous peoples. Elevations often deploy exterior materials in broad, unbroken planes, which, along with the firm's powerfully expressive roofs, give each building a unique and iconic presence. The firm made its name with a series of tiny weekend retreats and compact houses that married the principals' environmental agenda with their modernist architectural training in a distinctly regional way. "Those struck a chord because they were so small, so efficient," Miller says. Widely published and much awarded, those early projects led to larger residential commissions, which embodied the same cabinlike spirit. "We were fortunate enough to have some university work too," Hull says. "That allowed us to move in two directions, and [the private and public projects] actually stimulated each other." He recalls noticing parallels between a small cabin in the San Juan Islands and a cafeteria for The Boeing Co., which were on the boards simultaneously. "They were both glass envelopes with solid cores," he says. "It got us thinking: whether the program is private or public, inside the buildings, it's still the same people."
home team
Nonresidential projects now constitute some 80 percent of the firm's work, and its staff—now nearing 50 people—has grown accordingly. Norman Strong, FAIA, LEED AP, who runs the business side of the firm, became a partner in 1985; design principal Craig Curtis, FAIA, LEED AP, in 1994. The firm recently elevated a third generation of partners: Ron Rochon, AIA, LEED AP; Sian Roberts, AIA, LEED AP; and Scott Wolf, AIA, LEED AP. But the design of dwellings remains central to Miller|Hull's identity and function. "Residential work does a number of things for our firm," Curtis says. "There are a lot more opportunities for publication. Houses are quicker; they allow us to experiment more. In the constant back-and-forth between large and small projects, our large projects benefit much more."

Historical Perspectives
Peter Beinarts Zionism / Israel needs to use fire as well as water. (NATIONAL REVIEW) By Noah Glyn 04/18/12)
Source: http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/296353/peter-beinart-s-zionism-noah-glyn
NATIONAL REVIEW Articles-Index-Top
Peter Beinarts new book, The Crisis of Zionism, has sparked a debate between Israels apologists and critics. Much of that debate has focused on the quality of Beinarts research into and analysis of contemporary Zionism. Bret Stephens in his review in Tablet magazine, for example, finds the books argument sloppy.
But Beinarts treatment of historical Zionism is no less flawed. A self-described liberal Zionist, he makes the villain of his book Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the most influential political descendant of Menachem Begin, who led the newly formed Likud party to victory in the parliamentary elections of 1977, an event that marked the end to the Lefts domination of Israeli politics.
Netanyahu and Likud align with Revisionist Zionism, the movement founded by Zeev Jabotinsky when he broke off from mainstream, leftist Zionism in 1923. Jabotinsky sought to promote a martial spirit among the Jewish people and criticized liberal Jews for being too accommodating to a largely unsympathetic world. True to their founder, todays Revisionist Zionists tend to be more hawkish, more distrusting of the peace process, and more receptive to free markets. They support Jewish settlements in Judea and Samaria.
Netanyahus connection to Jabotinsky is personal as well as ideological. His father, Benzion, served as Jabotinskys secretary and confidant. Some liberals argue that the hard line Netanyahu takes against Palestinian demands can be traced directly to the Revisionist Zionism of his upbringing.
Beinart lambasted Netanyahu in a recent interview with Haaretz:
What really struck me when I read his writings and that of his father Benzion, and then about the Revisionist tradition, is this belief that the world is a very nasty place, and the Jews are in danger because they dont recognize its nastiness. Because [in the Revisionist view] theyve gotten this crazy idea that theyre supposed to be better than everybody else . . . [and that] weve got to get rid of it. Weve got to become like everybody else.
For Beinart, then, Jews in the Revisionist tradition have abandoned their special ethical mission, as he calls it, because theyre realistic and recognize the worlds nastiness. But Jabotinsky was prescient in his warning to Warsaw Jewry in 1938 that a catastrophe is coming closer. . . . Let any one of you save himself as long as there is still time. . . . Whoever of you will escape from this catastrophe, he or she will live to see the exalted moment of . . . the rebirth and revival of a Jewish state.
Jabotinsky was not the only Zionist leader to arrive at his position in response to anti-Semitism. Theodor Herzl, the father of Zionism a generation before Jabotinsky, was motivated in part by the Dreyfus Affair in France. Beinarts safe and comfortable lifestyle notwithstanding, Jews have a long history of suffering the worlds nastiness.
If Beinart wants Israel to uphold Palestinian sovereignty, he should heed Jabotinskys lessons. In his 1923 essay The Iron Wall, Jabotinsky clarified his position regarding the Arabs of Palestine. I consider it utterly impossible to eject the Arabs from Palestine, he wrote. There will always be two nations in Palestine which is good enough for me, provided the Jews become the majority. Jabotinsky went on to lay out his case that
there can be no voluntary agreement between ourselves and the Palestinian Arabs. . . . It is utterly impossible to obtain the voluntary consent of the Palestine Arabs for converting Palestine from an Arab country into a country with a Jewish majority. . . . Zionist colonization must either stop, or else proceed regardless of the native population. Which means that it can proceed and develop only under the protection of a power that is independent of the native population behind an iron wall, which the native population cannot breach.
Jabotinskys basic argument was that Arabs are a proud people who will not acquiesce to what they see as colonialism, no matter how noble its intentions. The only solution, then, is to separate Jews from Arabs.
At present, it is hard to disagree. For the better part of 64 years, Palestinians have rejected Israels right to exist, and even now they accept Israel only under the precondition that it lose its Jewishness. Beinart may scoff and call it crazy, but at a time when most of the Zionist establishment predicted Arab and Jewish coexistence, Jabotinsky displayed remarkable foresight. His rhetoric about an iron wall is outdated and extreme, to be sure. But his lessons can be applied to the current conflict nonetheless. After all, when Beinart clamors for an independent Palestinian state, he too is calling for the separation of Arab and Jewish populations.
Though his expression of them is questionable, Beinarts concerns for Israel and the future of Zionism are legitimate. Israeli occupation of the West Bank is unhealthy for both Israel and the Palestinians. That admission should not, and does not, disqualify any from the mainstream of the Zionist movement, so long as they recognize and Beinart does not the downside of the Israeli militarys leaving the West Bank and granting complete authority to the Palestinian leadership.
How can Israels security be reconciled with Palestinian independence? How can Israel give the West Bank to the Palestinians when there are not enough Palestinians ready to receive it in peace? It would be wise to recall once again Jabotinsky. At a congress of the Revisionist Zionist movement in 1932, he argued for reconciliation among his fellow Zionists:
Someone said that redemption will be brought about by blood and fire, not by water. Why not water? In order to build the Jewish State we need fire and water everything is sacred. Let no one say, I will work with water, therefore you are forbidden to work with fire.
That lesson should be applied to the current conflict. Fire is needed when thousands of Palestinian terrorists are armed and financed by regimes that threaten to destroy Israel. Only brute force can repel them. On the other hand, many Palestinians want peace and are willing to oppose the violence of their fellow Arabs. Palestinian prime minister Salam Fayyad, responding to the recent terrorist attacks in Toulouse, called for an end to terrorism. Extremists must stop pretending to stand up for the rights of Palestinian children who only ask for a decent life. Clearly, Fayyad and those he speaks for should be met not with fire but with water.
If Beinart is uncomfortable applying lessons from Jabotinsky, let him look to the Bible. Isaac had two sons Jacob, who was righteous and learned, and Esau, a hunter, who understood force. In the account in Genesis, Jacob disguised himself as his brother and approached their father to receive the blessing of the firstborn. Isaac, who was blind, touched his sons arm and said, The voice is the voice of Jacob, but the hands are the hands of Esau. Sometimes the smooth words of Jacob are what is needed, but when Israels security is at stake, the strong arms of Esau must be employed.

Limbaugh falsely suggested federal spending on environment equal to spending on defense, homeland security
In conflating expenditures by the federal government with all public and private spending, nationally syndicated radio host Rush Limbaugh falsely suggested that the federal government spends as much annually on environmental protection as on defense and homeland security. In fact, the federal government spends at least 14 times as much on defense and homeland security as it does on the environment, according to the White House budget office.
On the April 22 edition of The Rush Limbaugh Show, Limbaugh read aloud from an Investors Business Daily article [1] that cited Paul Taylor, a skeptic of environmentalism. "Paul Taylor has written that the U.S. spends as much on environmental protection -- roughly 5 percent of GDP -- as on national defense and homeland security," the article reported. Limbaugh then falsely suggested that Taylor's assertion about spending on environmental protection related exclusively to federal spending:
LIMBAUGH: We're spending as much on environmental protection as we are on defense and homeland security. And, yet when there's a crisis of deficits, do you ever hear anybody say, "We need to reduce our expenditures on the environment"? No, they always focus on the military.
But contrary to Limbaugh's suggestion, Taylor's analysis purports to compare federal spending on defense and homeland security to total spending on the environment, including state and local governments as well as the private sector. In an April 22 op-ed [2] in the San Francisco Chronicle, Taylor argued: "All sectors of the United States spend as much on environmental protection as the federal government spends on national defense and homeland security combined -- perhaps a prudent balance of priorities." Taylor is the author of Green Gone Wrong: Ecopolitics Exposed (Writers Club Press, 2001), a book that "explores the concepts of ecopolitics and fear mongering that have infected environmentalism and its government bureaucratic legacy," according to a description [3] on Amazon.com.
While estimates of the federal spending on "environmental protection" depend on which programs one includes under that label, Limbaugh's claim is clearly far from the mark. For example, according to the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB), the $403.6 billion [4] dedicated to the departments of Defense and Homeland Security in the fiscal 2004 federal budget is more than 20 times the $19.1 billion allocated to the Department of the Interior and the Environmental Protection Agency. Another indicator, based on the OMB's classification [5] (Excel document) of federal spending by function (rather than by department or agency), placed 2004 spending on "national defense" at $455.9 billion -- more than 14 times the $30.7 billion listed for "natural resources and environment."
This is not the first instance of Limbaugh attempting to downplay U.S. military spending by grossly overstating federal spending in other areas. Limbaugh also falsely claimed [6] that "we spend over two times on education already, what we spend on defense."

Photo gallery: Man found shot to death in unincorporated San Bernardino
SAN BERNARDINO - The body of a man was found in front of a home Wednesday - an apparent victim of gunfire, authorities said.
The unidentified man was found lying outside a home about 1:30 p.m. in the 8060 block of Sunnyside Avenue after deputies received calls of multiple gunshots, said San Bernardino County sheriff's spokeswoman Jodi Miller.
Paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene.
Sheriff's homicide detectives were investigating the killing.
The homicide was the second in two days in the unincorporated area surrounded by the city of San Bernardino.
Authorities had not identified the victim because the next of kin had not been notified.
"The motive is unclear at this time," Miller said. "It's too early in the investigation to tell."
Anyone with information regarding the incident can contact the Homicide Detail, Detective Steve Pennington or Sgt. Rick Bessinger at 909-387-3589. Callers wishing to remain anonymous can call WeTip at 800-78-CRIME (27463) or leave information at www.wetip.com.

Mia Potter isn't your typical doctor. She doesn't see dozens of patients each day. She isn't fixated on conventional medicine. And she doesn't focus on your symptoms.
Potter is a naturopathic doctor (N.D.). She completed a naturopathic medical doctoral program*, passed the national and state board exams for licensure, and works as a primary care physician at Selah Natural Medicine in Portland, Oregon.
Her initial appointments with patients last between 60 and 90 minutes; follow-up visits are 30-45. An average appointment with a conventional doctor is 15 minutes.
"I have space with people to hear their stories," she says. "It's so rewarding when someone feels heard and when a treatment plan works."
Potter's treatment plans are as varied as the patients she sees; she doesn't settle for a one-size-fits-all approach. "If three different people come to me with headaches, they might need three different treatments," she says.
It takes time and patience to find and remove the root cause of an illness, and Potter is committed to finding the truth — not merely suppressing symptoms. "A headache might be caused by hormones, an allergy, lifestyle, diet, ergonomics or something else," she says. "I try to be a detective with my patients."
'We want to be fixed quickly'
Many of the people Potter helps are disappointed with conventional medicine and desperate for lasting relief. But the naturopathic approach to health is not necessarily the fastest.
"We want to be fixed quickly, but it took many years for most of us to create the patterns that impact our health," she says. "It takes years, if not a lifetime, to relearn how to live and function differently."
Years of retraining may seem daunting, but Potter knows the rewards are worth the struggle. "It's very much like our walk with the Lord," she says. "As we change and grow, it can be new and awkward and confusing, but God has created things to support us. My hope is that I can journey with people while encouraging, empowering and equipping them to live healthier lives."
'A transformative year'
Potter's own journey to naturopathic medicine began years before she knew what a naturopathic doctor was. She earned a bachelor's degree in Nutritional Science from UC Berkeley before becoming a nutritionist. Through a conference she met Mission: Moving Mountains, a holistic community development agency serving countries around the world.
Potter decided to join their ministry in Senegal, Africa, but she had to prep first: One of the requirements was a strong biblical foundation. That's how she found herself enrolled in the graduate certificate program at Multnomah.
The 12-month course was a pivotal point in her life. "It was a transformative year," she says. "I grew up in church and was taught a doctrine, but at Multnomah there were so many different perspectives. I was in awe. The box I had God in got exploded."
Living on campus only enhanced her experience. "My roommates became my closest friends — we studied, prayed, cried and had a lot of fun together," she says. "It was a really special, supportive community. I still have friends from then."
'A better resource'
Once Potter graduated she joined Mission: Moving Mountains in Africa, where she served on a team as a nutritionist. After six months, she returned to Oregon and married a young man she'd met at Multnomah.
The next season of Potter's life was filled with career development as she conducted exercise and diet research at the Portland VA Hospital and Oregon Health and Science University. She worked part-time as a nutritionist in between her research jobs.
"My job made me discover that I wanted to be a better resource for my patients," she says. That's when her husband stepped in. "He told me I should be a naturopathic doctor. I said, 'What the heck is that?' But once I looked into it, I realized it fit perfectly into the path the last decade of my life had taken."
'The ultimate holistic healer'
That path has led her right to Selah Natural Medicine, where she practices as a primary care physician. She also teaches classes on nutrition and eating disorders to graduate students at the Helfgott Research Institute.
The biblical wisdom she cultivated at Multnomah continues to inspire Potter and her career. "My faith influences every aspect of my work," she says. "So much of naturopathy is steeped in the Scriptures. Think about the manna for the Israelites and the living water for the woman at the well. God provides for people in the ways they need; he goes to the root cause of their issues. He is the ultimate holistic healer."
Potter says MU fostered an openness to talk with the Lord that still influences her prayers today. "There are so many things I took from Multnomah," she says. "I learned to walk with open hands. I pray for my patients. I trust that God will bring them to me if they're supposed to cross my path."
And when they do, Potter is ready to hear their stories — and help change their lives.
*Accredited, naturopathic medical doctoral programs are comprised of the hard sciences, clinical and lab diagnosis, pharmacology, treatment modalities such as botanical medicine, homeopathy, nutrition, and physical medicine, as well as clinic internships. Learn more about naturopathic medicine.
