Except Willow absolutely hates wearing jumpers and jackets.
We were off to run some errands in our town which required some walking around out main street and it was about 5 degreesC. Before we left I got everyone all rugged up and when it came to Willow I told her how cold it was outside and offered her jacket. She said she wasn't cold. I opened the front door and asked her to test the outside air where there was no central heating to luxuriate in. She did and still refused.
I respect her right to choose no jumper. It's her body. I don't always feel zen about it but I try.
I packed the jacket and a warm hat for if she decided she needed it. We got to the shops and the wind chill factor was brutal but Willow didn't seem bothered. I put the jacket & hat in the pram and off we went.
As we walked towards an older woman I noticed that she was staring in disbelief that there was a child out in that cold without a jumper. She flashed me the FILTHIEST of looks and tut tutted me. I pretended I didn't see her and called out "Willow-do you want your jacket yet?" Waving the jacket at her. Willow refused and went back to skipping along.
Later I thought about how much I felt like I had to prove to this random stranger that I was a "good" mother! That her judgment of me mattered when I knew exactly how the lead up to a 3 year old out in a long sleeve T-shirt in the freezing cold had happened. I knew that the jacket was in the pram and Willow knew it was too.
Why, as mothers, do we seem to feel the need to prove ourselves to other people?
I know I have had moments where, rather that just being with my child in the throws of a meltdown, I have worried more about what other people are thinking of us and put my need to be seen as a "good" mother first. I know when my kids have done things that might not be considered compliant I have felt embarrassed because I worry about how I will be viewed rather than just trusting that my kids are doing the best they can. I have felt the sting of being judged as "too soft" or having "sooky kids" for not forcing them to be independent before they are ready or for taking their fears or hurts seriously.
And the list goes on..
For using dummies, for getting a scan, for birthing at home, for tandem feeding, for not breastfeeding long enough, for using a pram, for using a sling, for co-sleeping, for not having bedtime, for not having unlimited food choices, for unschooling.....and on and on and on...
Luke and I feel comfortable with the decisions we have made around raising our girls. We know the back-story and process that goes into how we parent-and we don't owe an explanation or a seal of approval to anyone. The only people who's opinion should matter is that of our children.
Thing is there will always be someone who thinks you are doing the wrong thing. Always someone willing to pass judgment on your parenting. Always someone quick to form an opinion without knowing the full story. You have no power over other people's thoughts.
But you do have the power to be true to yourself and your children.

What a great post! Having met your lovely girls and seen how happy, healthy, well mannered and beautiful they are I'd say you must be on the right track!! Funny how there is such pressure - no matter what you choose. Well written and well said!

You should check out the site "That Baby Looks Cold" - it's a collection of unwanted advice from strangers.
I feel judged for still breastfeeding, and Tricky is only one, so I have no idea how I'll feel if we make it to my "goal".
My friend who her boy EBM exclusively used to want to put a label on the bottle because of the critical stares she felt directed her way.

Fantastic post, Shae. I think we've all felt those looks which are really just a reflection of the person's own baggage. A little compassion certainly wouldn't go astray.

I know exactly how you feel. After baby number 5 was born the toddler decide he only really wanted to wear his board shorts and rashie - even when we reached autumn and winter. "Isn't he cold?" I would get asked all the time. I would answer no - on days when he is cold he puts on a hoodie. Even now he still wears t-shirts and shorts most days and I can see exactly what people are thinking. It used to bother me, but I am too busy too let it worry me now!
If someone does make a remark about getting sick, I will generally say something though. Debunk the myth that being cold means you will catch a cold and tell them how healthy my kids are!

I don't read your blog regularly enough Shae, this is a great post! (So are the many others I've just sat here reading). I get this too and really, life is just too short!

It is hard when you feel the judgement of others. But know that no one knows your full story, they're only judging at a glance and probably not meaning any harm.
Some people need to pass judgement to make themselves feel better about their choices or life. It's not really a nice thing, but it's a human thing.
I find it shocking that people would look at you rugged up, your baby rugged up and not think "Ahhh a toddler being a toddler" Sometimes it's easier to let our children see for themselves we are only trying to give them sound advice and help them out, and if it were me? I'd have done the same thing.

I hear you and am so glad to hear you say it :) We have a kid who likes to run through rainy streets at night, naked.
One day at the bus stop it was cold and she was in a t-shirt, happily playing. We knew she didn't need the jumper, but the eyes, a crowd of them, watching her, looking at us expectantly. I ended up saying loudly to her "Hey Harri, I know you don't feel cold or want your jumper, but do you think you could put it on just so all these people stop judging us for being negligent parents?" That worked a treat lol, she said no, we laughed, someone else laughed, a couple more people rolled eyes and moved away, and everyone else got to the underlying "please do fuck off" :)

Good on you! I so often feel the same. I have such a struggle with them sometimes about silly things I should just let go. Keeping warm is definitely one thing! They were running around in bare feet today and I really struggled not to say anything. At least it wasn't quite snowing!

Brilliant post.
And can I just say I'm with Willow on this - I loathe wearing jumpers, jackets etc, feel constricted in them and would much rather be cold than wear them at all.
I've spent several winters in Melbourne now with people looking at me in disbelief asking 'aren't you cold'. Can only imagine how much harder that would be to ignore when it was my parenting they were judging rather than personal clothing choice.

Judgement *sigh*. It's everywhere, isn't it ???
But you nailed it - we need to stay true to ourselves.
Great post, Shae.

You are so right. I think many of us feel judged regardless of what we do or don't do. The village raising the child has become the village judging, giving disapproving looks and making snide comments. It's a little perverse when you think of all the genuinely neglected and abused children in this country.

Fab post, Will show it to the mums I work with. No one has the right to judge. . Do what you feel is right.

Oh you worded that perfectly hun!
Judgement is such a hard part of motherhood to handle! I struggle with it quite badly
Add speech and behavioural issues and i can forget running for mother of the year in some people eyes! Lol
I dont understand why people especially the older think they are any better then us!
To me you were empowering your daughter with freedom of expression and teaching her its ok to make her own choices! And of course cause & effect
Its a shame many other people out there dont see it the same way, really its all a big life lesson
Great post hun i think alot of people especially mothers will relate

This is so true. Great post!
I have a lot of issues here with the way I raise my kids compared to the more Japanese style. Small things like the fact the kids have their own beds/rooms (although they can sleep with us at times- after the big earthquake we all slept in the living room in case we had to get out in a hurry), I bf in public (but cover up), N doesn`t drink juice (He can, I just give him water instead), I speak English to them. A lot more but I won`t go on- basically though I am judged constantly about the way I raise my kids.
It is hard to not let it get me down sometimes but you are completely right.

Agreed! I'm so over the judgements. Look at your girls - happy, healthy, beautiful. That's it, that's all that matters. x

- Aspiring Millionaire said...
I understand this 100% and your post is beautifully written.
I suffered a lot of judgement with my 2 daughters for not breastfeeding at all, little did people know I am medically unable to, my milk is useless and my first daught lost so much weight that despite being born healthy she still looked premature at 2 years old.
My younger daughter does not feel the cold, but gets very hot and sometimes sweats in winter. Rugging her up is not good, so I understand the judgement on that too.
It can be so hard being a mother, but now I just don't let any of it bother me. I know I am doing what is best for my kids and that's all that matters.
@ Sazz, I have done similar, lol. love it.

Well said!
I remember one time a couple arriving at the cafe where I was eating breakfast with my husband and kids. One of their kids had a MASSIVE tantrum. Well, haven't we all been there?
There were two little old ladies sitting at the adjacent table, and they were shooting them filthy looks and tut-tutting away - no doubt assuming the mother wouldn't discipline her child. (Her husband had left to order food.) When the husband got back, the wife said, "Let's just go. This is too difficult." And he told her no - they were going to stay and weren't going to leave because of one child playing up and i thought HURRAY! That poor mother had a newborn too, so you can imagine she probably didn't get out much, and she was going to throw it all away because of two busy-bodies who can't remember what kids are like, obviously.
Do your own thing. You know best for your kids, not that silly judgmental lady!

Parenting in public can be so hard. Relating with ANYONE in public can be hard, being that we're vulnerable to scrutiny from strangers - people who don't know our back story - but I find a parent-child relationship is the hardest one to put on display because of the view the majority of people in western society have about children (& also about women).
I am my own worst critic when I'm aware we're going against the grain in public. I speak loudly, I state the obvious, I try ever so hard to win the approval of the people around us, because I don't want someone thinking I'm "bad".
I really relate to this post, particularly now since people sticking their nose in where it isn't wanted & feeling free to express their negative judgement of us has been a hot topic at our place these last few days!

Editor's note: Steve Jobs, who died Wednesday, had long planned to build a home at this site. He also made many efforts to find a new location for the Jackling house.
By Barbara Wood
Special to the Almanac
The former home of copper baron Daniel C. Jackling may have been demolished, but in Woodside it is not forgotten. A new exhibit at the Woodside Community Museum is devoted to Mr. Jackling and the home.
"Days of Grandeur: The Jacklings and their Woodside Estate" can be seen starting Saturday, Oct. 8, during the Day of the Horse Events in Woodside (10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.), and on following Sundays, from 1 to 4 p.m. at the museum, 2961 Woodside Road.
Featuring architectural details salvaged from the home, the exhibit attempts to show visitors how the Jacklings lived as well as inform them about the home's architect, George Washington Smith, the copper industry in which Jackling made his fortune, and the opulent manner in which he spent it.
The home was demolished by the owner, the late Apple Computer co-founder and Palo Alto resident Steve Jobs, earlier this year after a lengthy legal battle with historic preservationists who attempted to stop the demolition or have the home moved to another location. Mr. Jobs died Wednesday, Oct. 5.
Mr. Jobs agreed to let the town and other interested history groups salvage items from the home including the 50-foot flagpole, which will be installed in front of the museum, its copper mailbox, roof tiles, woodwork, fireplace mantles, light fixtures and moldings. Many of those items are part of the exhibit.
While the museum is tiny, the exhibit tries to give a feeling of what some of the rooms in the Jackling house felt like, using items such as the living room chandelier, stair banisters, wall tiles and the servant's call box along with photos and drawings. Reproductions of some of the artworks owned by the Jacklings, and copies of his meticulous records of items he owned, are on display.
Mr. Jackling was born in Missouri in 1869 and raised by relatives from the age of 2 after his parents were killed in a fire. As a young engineer, Mr. Jackling developed a way to extract copper from low-grade ore, which allowed the copper industry to supply the copper needed to string electric wiring across the county.
Mr. Jackling formed the Utah Copper Company in 1903, and within 10 years was successful enough to purchase his first yacht, the Cyprus. The 231-foot yacht, which he later extended to 267-feet, accommodated 30 guests in addition to a crew of 48.
The Utah Copper Company eventually became part of the Kennecott Copper Company.
Mr. Jackling's first wife, Jeanne Sullivan, died in 1914. Their only child had lived just a year.
In 1915, Mr. Jackling moved to San Francisco, where he leased the entire top floor of the St. Francis Hotel. He married San Francisco socialite Virginia Joliff that year. In 1922, the Jacklings purchased just less than 194 acres in Woodside and hired architect George Washington Smith to design what Virginia Jackling described in a letter to Mr. Smith as "a simple farm house."
Mr. Smith had earlier designed a home in Pebble Beach for Maud and Arthur Vincent, daughter and son-in-law of Filoli owners William and Agnes Bourne, who the Jacklings knew socially.
Construction of the Jackling's 17,000-square-foot, 14-bedroom Spanish-revival-style home was completed in 1926. Among the amenities was a pipe organ that could be played manually or by using music rolls. The original organ, with 19 sets of pipes, was expanded to a 71-pipe organ in 1938, with an addition to the house constructed to contain it. The Jackling organ is now owned by the Friends of the Jackling Organ, whose members plan to restore and preserve it.
The home had thick stucco walls that mimicked adobe, a red tile roof, custom-made wrought iron lighting fixtures and railings, and was built around a courtyard. It was furnished with treasures the Jacklings had collected in extensive travels around the world.
Virginia Jackling was one of the founders of the Woodside Trails Club in 1923. In 1928, a meeting was held in the Jacklings home to discuss the incorporation of Woodside, which did not take place until 1956.
Mr. Jackling retired in 1942, and died in Woodside in 1956. Virginia Jackling died a year later.
The home was sold in 1958 and the land surrounding it subdivided. It had three other owners before it was purchased by Steve Jobs in 1984, with the listed price of $3.5 million.
The exhibit was designed by history committee members Cutty Smith and Gretchen Tenenbaum, and consultants Jeanne Thivierge and Stephanie Scheafer. Artifacts for the exhibit were loaned by Sonja Davidow, the Jobs Estate,
Virginia Andersen (a great-niece of the Jacklings who still lives in Woodside), and Dr. John Felstiner, who had once lived in the home.
Copies of the new book on Woodside's history, "Images of America: Woodside," will be available for purchase at the Day of the Horse. The book tells the story of the town in photos and was a project headed by Thalia Lubin, Bob Dougherty and the Woodside History Committee. It will sell for $21.99 with a portion of the sales price going to the museum.
Barbara Wood is a freelance writer, photographer and gardener from Woodside, and a former member of the Woodside History Committee.

iPad 3 could launch soon….with issues?
The rumor mill has it that iPad 3 could launch as soon as March, but with connector issues. So, will the iPad 2′s successor use a smaller dock connector? That could cause compatibility issues with existing products claims Macotakara, a Japanese blog site. Their reliable source said that the next generation tablet is being rushed into production due to Chinese New Year celebrations running January 22-28. Photo by Mario Tama/Getty Images Factories in China are gearing up to produce the iPad 3 by the end of January. If the reports are correct the new iPad will also include a redesigned dock connector that features the same number of pins but smaller shape than on the current model. That could cause problems with existing products that plug into the dock. Screen size should remain the same, although the source didn't know if Apple would bump it up to Retina Display levels or stay with current resolution. Credit: Lance Whitney blog-10/24/2011

Enterprise Holdings
The largest car rental service provider in the world measured by revenue, employees and fleet.
Enterprise Holdings has a rich and distinctive heritage. It's a truly remarkable story of how entrepreneurship, hard work and a big dream can turn a tiny start-up into a world-class company.
The story begins with our founder, Jack Taylor. Born in our company's home town of St. Louis in 1922, Jack heeded his country's call after the attack on Pearl Harbor drew the United States into World War II. In 1942, he enlisted and served as a decorated fighter pilot in the skies over the South Pacific.
Then, like so many others of the "Greatest Generation," Jack returned home to raise his family and start a business. Lessons learned in the Navy - including the values of integrity, hard work, team spirit and simply doing the right thing - helped shape his personality. They also made their mark on the company he founded in 1957, and that his family owns to this day.
In a tiny lower-level office in a St. Louis Cadillac dealership, he started out with a fleet of seven cars, one employee and a commitment to provide a uniquely personal brand of customer service.
Jack developed a simple but enduring business philosophy that still guides our efforts as the largest rental car operation in the world: "Take care of your customers and your employees first, and the profits will follow." As his company grew, the Navy veteran expanded operations into new markets and named the company after an aircraft carrier on which had served, the World War II USS Enterprise.
To learn more about Enterprise's rich heritage, please check out our Founding Values and Cultural Compass, which focuses on our operations, diversity and inclusion, workplace quality, business ethics, public affairs and philanthropy, and environmental conservation.

Clinical Associate Professor, Department of Medicine (Hepatology)
Research on hepatic stem cells has entered a new era of controversy, excitement, and great expectations. Work in our laboratory focuses on the tissue specific liver stem/progenitor cells.
Rat liver stem cells are specified early during embryogenesis (9-9.5 dpc) from the foregut endoderm. The genetic program for their differentiation is executed through several steps with the help of signaling factors, signal transducers, and transcription factors, some of which are critical in the pathway of liver progenitor cell formation and progression along hepatocytic and bile duct epithelial cell lineages. Our current hypothesis is that the fetal liver contains a subset of hepatic stem/progenitor cells that have not reached terminal differentiation and are arrested in the adult quiescent liver as dormant/slow cycling, unidentifiable stem cells or partially differentiated progenitor cells. Under certain conditions, when the liver parenchyma is extensively damaged, liver stem/progenitor cells can be activated by yet unknown mechanisms to proliferate and differentiate into mature hepatocytes and biliary epithelial cells and repopulate the liver.
Because of the tremendous biological and pathobiological significance and applicability of liver stem/progenitor cells, our research program aims at: (i) their identification and isolation from fetal and adult liver, (ii) their propagation and maintenance in culture, (iii) elucidation of molecular mechanisms leading to their activation, proliferation and bipotential differentiation into hepatocytes or cholangiocytes, and (iv) identification of the genes involved in these processes. To achieve these goals, we are applying modern methods of gene analysis and are studying novel gene expression patterns in rat fetal liver and in models of stem/progenitor cells activation: D-galactosamine injured liver, retrorsine treated liver in conjunction with partial hepatectomy and 2-acetyl-amino fluorine treated rats also subjected to partial hepatectomy.
Using the suppression-subtractive hybridization (SSH) approach, we have constructed a cDNA library from 13-day fetal liver, subtracted from normal adult liver andidentified fetal liver epithelial cell specific clones. These clones are currently being characterized and experiments are being conducted to determine the function of these genes in fetal liver. One of the clones is the proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin 9 (Pcsk9). Recently, it was shown that expression of Pcsk-9 is down-regulated in the liver of animals fed a cholesterol rich diet. Mutations in this gene appear to be the cause of a novel form of familial hypercholesterolemia. How this convertase relates to cholesterol homeostasis is an enigma. We hypothesize that Pcsk-9 has important functions in fetal liver, some related but others not related to cholesterol homeostasis, and we are currently studying the function of this convertase in hepatic cells and liver.
Applying cDNA microarray technology, we have studied the gene expression profile of fetal liver epithelial cells at ED 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, with newborn liver as a reference, using 9,000 cDNA mouse chips produced in the Microarray Facility of AECOM. The clones were sorted into functional groups and clusters and those implicated in epithelial cell growth, proliferation and differentiation are being studied further. We have found markers for identification of liver stem/progenitor cells and are using antibodies to some of the identified cell surface proteins for isolation of fetal stem/progenitor cells.
Another aim of our research is to establish a permanent cell line of ED13 fetal liver stem/progenitor cells that can be used for further research of their biology and also for cell transplantation. Different extracellular matrix proteins and growth factors affecting the maintenance, proliferation and differentiation of liver stem/progenitor cells in culture are being studied.

I'm going for India, even before todays emphatic defeat of Pakistan. Admittedly however, the bowling unit will have to sharpen up a bit, and whether they can last the full length of the tournament after their busy recent months remains to be seen.
Here's an interesting article on why India are so strong: Why my money is on India to lift World Twenty20 again | Twenty20Blog.co.uk - A Twenty20 cricket blog
That article kinda lost it for me with a factual error in the first paragraph: stating that India are "odds on favourites" for the tournament. I think the author has no idea what odds on favourites actually means; and while India are favourites, I have not seen one odds sheet (and don't think I will) that has India odds on.

Using the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, our laboratory takes a molecular genetic approach to basic questions in biology:
- How are the properties of an organism -its development, physiology and behavior- encoded in its genome?
- How are signals among cells integrated to coordinate organ formation?
- How do genes control the ability to execute stereotyped behavior?
- How does behavior evolve?
- What changes in the nervous system occur during sleep?
- How do cells migrate accurately?
Our major strategy is to perturb the activity of one or more genes and measure how cells or animals misbehave to infer gene function and genetic pathways. We measure gene expression by RNA-seq and transgenic reporters; we measure behavior using automated systems and optogenetics. We focus on intercellular signals and their transduction by the responding cell into transcriptional outputs. Many of the genes we have identified are the nematode counterparts of human genes, and we expect that some of our findings will apply to human genes as well. Nematodes are major health and agricultural problems, so we focus on parasite relevant biology such as dauer/infective juvenile development, using genomics and molecular genetics.

A new year is usually filled with a sense of hope and possibility.
But as Dec. 31 creeps closer, there's a sense of uncertainty as federal lawmakers continue to bicker about how to best save the country from falling off what has been dubbed the "fiscal cliff."
Depending on the source, the cliff is a combination of anywhere from $500 billion to $700 billion in federal spending cuts and tax increases that take effect Jan. 1 unless President Barack Obama and House Republicans can reach a compromise.
The tax increases come because of the scheduled expiration of the Bush-era tax cuts and the payroll tax cut enacted in 2010 under Obama, totaling about $400 billion, as well as a number of smaller tax cuts for people and businesses.
The cliff includes $100 billion in automatic federal budget cuts, such as a 9 percent cut in the defense budget, and a reduction of Medicare payments to doctors.
Without a deal, taxes increase. The nonpartisan Tax Policy Center estimates that middle-income earners would see an average increase of about $2,000. Those with higher incomes would pay even more.
It's not just the personal pocketbooks that will be pinched. The Congressional Budget Office projects that going over the proverbial cliff will mean an economic recession, and an unemployment rate that would rise to more than 9 percent, up from the 7.7 percent it's at now. States would receive less federal money than expected.
Obama insists that the wealthiest Americans pay more in taxes. Republicans insist the president provide more detail on where he would make cuts. Both sides have fair points.
But rhetoric like Obama's statement Monday that he "won't compromise" on his stance is not what the country needs.
The country needs politicians to stop posturing and get down to work. Inflexible allegiances to a political party or ideology has in large part gotten the country into this mess.
Insisting on getting your way is tolerable for a little while for schoolchildren on the playground; it isn't for elected officials.
It is time for lawmakers to set partisanship and politics aside, and focus on why they are in Washington: To help constituents, and do what is best for the country.
Back in mid-November, Gallup found that 68 percent of Americans wanted Democrats and Republicans to compromise equally to avoid the fiscal cliff. On Dec. 7, Gallup found that 58 percent of Americans say it is "very or somewhat likely" that Obama and congressional leaders will reach a solution before Jan. 1 to avoid the fiscal cliff.
Perhaps the holiday spirit is making citizens more optimistic in lawmakers than they deserve.
The deal that needs to be reached needs to be meaningful reform. Federal spending needs to be reined in. Programs needs to be prioritized. The ramifications of any cuts need to be thought out.
Congress adjourns Dec. 21, and the tax hikes and spending increases go into effect Jan. 1.
But experts note that New Years Day may not be the doomsday scenario some make it out to be — as long as an agreement appears to be on the very near horizon. It will take time before everyday Americans start seeing its effects in their paychecks, and it's unlikely we'll wake up Jan. 2 to a crippled economy.
Lawmakers should be working day and night – and through holidays if need be – until an agreement is reached. And if that requires going a few days into 2013 in good faith negotiations, leaders should be given that leeway to do it.

Tiny Libraries, DIY Reading Rooms, and Other Micro Book Depots
We aren't shy about sharing our love for books — and all the amazing places they are housed — around here. You visited some of the most beautiful college libraries in the world with us, we told you about our favorite bookstores — and highlighted your picks — plus much more. We wanted to venture into DIY territory and visit some of the tiniest — but gutsiest — libraries around the world. These are unusual places where lit lovers ventured to create a mini community athenaeum, and guerrilla librarians have set up camp in the face of budget cuts and closing institutions. Each micro library's aim is different, but whether they're promoting independent/alternative presses, or simply trying to encourage reading, these plucky, little libraries deserve your attention. Tell us your faves, and as always, drop us a line with the ones we may have missed in the comments below.
The Clinton Community Library in New York has created the Book Booth — a re-purposed, vintage, English model K8 telephone box that now exists as a community book exchange. It even lights up at night! Creators encourage "readcycling" and like most micro libraries, request that if you take a book you leave one as well. When asked during a recent interview how many people could fit inside the micro reading room, creator Claudio Cooley advised, "Five desperate L.A. housewives, or two fat and happy country wives."

And even though Vince begged me to wait with any photos until everything was in it's place (which it is sooooo NOT), here I am with a couple of little sneak peaks. A fireplace! Something I never really thought I would have in a house I lived in but dreamed about it anyway. And there it is. Weird how that happens sometimes, no?
A lovely little row of evergreens in the back. That's where the squirrels and birds and rabbits like to congregate. Oh, and the people too. Good grief I love those trees.
Other trees are winning our hearts as well.
and just one more. A little built in space to put you fiestaware and what not. I (not my kids or husband but ME) broke TWO pieces of the vintage fiesta in the course of the move and I swore I would tuck it away for it's own good from now on. Turns out this is a pretty perfect little nook.
So, we are settling. There is a LOT of crafting paraphernalia that still needs to find a home but I at least located my needles and floss so I'm good. I have missed the craft blog world and can't wait to catch up on everyone's projects and plans.

Washington, DC White Collar Criminal Defense Attorney
A federal crime is a serious charge. The investigations can be very aggressive due to the resources at the federal government's disposal. Often, strong cases are built against defendants before they know they are being investigated. It is very important to hire a DC federal white-collar criminal defense lawyer to defend you the moment you believe you are under investigation. En Español.
We also handle federal criminal cases in:
DC White-Collar Criminal Defense Team
White-collar offenses are typically related to business, commercial, and financial enterprises. Offenses such as fraud, embezzlement, government procurement fraud, healthcare fraud, and public corruption and bribery are typically referred to as white-collar crimes because white-collar professionals are generally individuals who are targeted for investigation. Due to the complex nature of these offenses and the potential risks and damage that can be wrought by conviction, it is crucial that anyone facing such charges contact a DC white-collar criminal defense lawyer. That lawyer will possess the skills and experience necessary for providing a strong defense against all of the offenses that fall within the category of white-collar crimes, which includes:
- Cybercrimes
- Money Laundering
- Embezzlement
White-collar cases are often document-heavy and involve complex financial information. A DC white-collar criminal defense lawyer will have experience with the evidence and investigative tactics often seen in these criminal cases.
There are a myriad of law enforcement agencies that conduct investigations of potential white-collar crimes. Those agencies include but are not limited to, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Department of Labor (DOL), the Small Business Administration (SBA), the Food & Drug Administration (FDA), and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). These agencies devote an enormous amount of money, manpower, and investigative techniques to their efforts.
Federal Criminal Defense in Washington, DC
Many offenses in DC, particularly serious felonies, may be brought against an individual in federal court. The federal court system is different from local DC Superior Court, requiring representation from a skilled DC federal criminal attorney who is admitted to practice in federal court. Although the District of Columbia is a city under federal control, crimes such as assault, robbery, and DUI are typically prosecuted as local crimes in the District of Columbia Superior Court. Local statutes govern these crimes, though the procedures and punishments are heavily influenced by federal law. No matter what the alleged crime may entail, an aggressive DC federal criminal lawyer is essential if an individual finds themselves targeted by the federal government. We represent individuals accused in white-collar criminal cases, congressional investigations, federal criminal cases, Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and RICO matters. If you have been charged or are currently under investigation for such crimes, please click through to our contact page to schedule an office consultation. Here is some information on the:
Federal Felony Charges in DC
The following is an abbreviated list of federal felonies with which a DC federal criminal lawyer can offer their assistance:
- Drug Charges.
- Identity Theft.
- Perjury.
- Sex Crimes.
- Kidnapping.
- Conspiracy.
- Firearm violations.
- Child Pornography (possession, manufacture, and distribution).
- Human Trafficking.
- Traveling between states or overseas to have sex with a minor.
- Extortion.
A DC Federal Criminal Lawyer Can Help
Federal laws and the rules of criminal procedure are more complex than those of individual states. Federal prosecutors and federal law enforcement agents often conduct very thorough investigations. Moreover, those convicted of federal offenses face enhanced and stiff penalties. An experienced DC federal criminal lawyer who understands federal prosecutions and federal judges can offer the best help to protect the rights of accused individuals and work to attain the justice that they deserve.
Searching For "The Best White-Collar Criminal Defense Lawyer" For Your Case
When someone is facing serious federal or white-collar charges, they often ask who the "best lawyer" is. In truth, there is no "best lawyer" who fits under such a broad label. What you should be looking for is the attorney who you believe is best suited to your case, and that can depend on a number of things. If you are facing federal charges, you will want to look for lawyers (or a law firm with lawyers) who are admitted to practice in federal court. Some criminal defense attorneys only practice at the state level.

Site History
Copper Ridge, formerly the Road Commission property, located on Silver Lake Road directly across from Traverse City West Middle School, is a mixed-use professional development. Located just minutes from Downtown, Munson Medical Center and the historic Grand Traverse Commons, Copper Ridge is comprised of residential and commercial uses including urgent care, pharmacy, medical offices and surgery center as well as office space.
With an amended Brownfield Plan occurring 2008, a new cancer center was slated to create over 700 jobs. Due to changes in the economy and strategic planning efforts Munson declined to pursue developing the cancer center in 2012. While the cancer center did not come to fruition as planned, numerous other redevelopment activities occurred that were facilitated through environmental cleanup and taxing jurisdictions were reimbursed for TIF revenues held to support the Cancer Center in the form of a new public parking garage.

Student Fined For Providing Free Film And TV Subtitles; Yet Another Business Opportunity Thrown Away By Copyright Industries
from the cutting-nose-off-to-spite-the-face dept
Mike recently reminded us that for some people, bizarrely, stopping "piracy" is more important than making money. Here's another example, this time from Norway:
A student who ran a site which enabled the download of a million movie and TV show subtitle files has been found guilty of copyright infringement offenses. Despite it being acknowledged that the 25-year-old made no money from the three-year-old operation, prosecutors demanded a jail sentence. After struggling due to a lack of case law, in the end the court settle on a fine.
Note that no money changed hands, and there was no attempt to copy the work of others in any way. Instead, the student was simply meeting an evident need for Norwegian subtitles that the original creators and distributors of those films and TV shows didn't address.
So wouldn't the rational thing have been to embrace what this person was doing, and turn it into a commercial opportunity for both him and the studios? That way, the Norwegian public would be happy, because they would have official subtitles that they could use; the Norwegian distributors would be happy, because they could offer English-language shows; and the original producers would be happy, since they would be selling more of their films and TV shows to the Norwegian market, and sooner.
Instead, out of sheer vindictiveness it would seem, charges were pressed, and a jail sentence was "demanded". It's telling that no custodial sentence was in fact handed down, because the infringement was so minor, and the judge simply couldn't find any justification for doing so. That's a further hint that prosecuting this non-commercial activity was completely inappropriate.
But as TorrentFreak explains, it wasn't money that the studios were interested in, but something else -- keeping control:
Although relatively rare, US movie and TV studios have taken legal action against subtitling sites before. The reason they appear to get so annoyed by the existence of these sites is that they allow people abroad to watch movies and TV shows that due to licensing issues haven't even arrived on their shores yet.
In other words, rather than adapt their business models to the changing times through simultaneous releases around the world, the copyright industries prefer to wield the blunt instrument of enforcement, however counterproductive that may be for everyone -- including themselves.

The Religious Freedom Restoration Act
Part of the Religious Freedom in Danger Series
Series About:
Most people believe the First Amendment prevents threats against our religious freedom. However, a 1990 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Employment Division v. Smith reduced the level of protection historically afforded religious liberty. In 1993, The U.S. Congress passed the Religious Freedom Restoration Act to restore a higher threshold of federal protection.
The measure had bipartisan support, passing the Senate by a vote of 97-3, and the House on a voice vote with no opposition.
Thanks to this new law, Americans were once again protected against infringements of religious liberty arising from what the Supreme Court called "neutral laws of general applicability."
What are some examples of "neutral laws of general applicability?" In addition to the country's drug laws that played such a prominent role in the Smith case, there are, for example, several such laws currently impacting, or on a collision course with, religious freedom: The HHS mandate, which forces employers to violate their religious conscience, numerous state and federal "non-discrimination" laws, and state and federal licensing laws for various professions. Think of pharmacists being told they must provide "all FDA-approved contraceptive drugs," including possible abortion-causing drugs. Think of state hospitals that require all nursing staff to assist in all medical procedures — including abortions.
You get the picture.
It's easy to see how a government entity's actions, although draped in neutral, non-religious terms, can quickly create an unconscionable religious burden. RFRA was designed to make sure that there was a remedy in individual cases where religious conscience was threatened.
However, in 1997, the Supreme Court ruled that RFRA did not apply to actions by state governments because Congress had mistakenly relied on the wrong constitutional provision to justify it. While still binding against the federal government, RFRA could no longer protect citizens from their own state's religious infringements caused by state-level "neutral laws of general applicability."
Congress attempted to fix the drafting problem; however, by 1999, socially liberal groups became concerned that RFRA might negatively impact some of their favored issues, such as government-compelled normalization of homosexual behavior, as well as the expansion of abortion-on-demand. The original bipartisan coalition splintered, the political parties in Congress chose sides, and the final product was a scaled-down religious freedom law aimed only at zoning laws and prisoner rights.
But citizens were not left without recourse due to Congress' failure to "fix" RFRA's inapplicability to state government actions. To date, about half the states have protected their citizens with their own RFRA laws or through state court decisions that reject the applicability of the federal Smith ruling to their own state.
RFRA is, according to the country's leading religious liberty experts, "the most important congressional action with respect to religion since the First Congress proposed the First Amendment." Its ultimate effectiveness is being tested at the moment in various venues. Although religious freedom in New Mexico — and a state version of RFRA — were recently dealt a blow at the hands of that state's supreme court, the federal law is possibly heading for the U.S. Supreme Court in early 2014, as it relates to the HHS mandate cases, for an important ruling on the scope of its protections for religious-minded employers.
For the sake of the future of religious freedom in America, let's pray for success in those cases.

Adam Lambert has slammed Tom Hopper's new movie musical "Les Miserables," insisting the film "suffered massively" due to its all-star cast "pretending to be singers."
The former "American Idol" star, who began his career in musical theater, took to Twitter to voice his disappointment with the big-screen adaptation of the hit Broadway production.
In a series of posts, he writes, "Les Mis: Visually impressive w (with) great emotional performances. But the score suffered massively with great actors PRETENDING to be singers… it's an opera. Hollywood's movie musicals treat the singing as the last priority… Anne Hathaway as Fantine and (Aaron Tveit as) Enjolras were the exceptions for me. Helena B (Bonham) Carter and Sacha B (Baron) Cohen were great too."
The entire Hollywood cast, including Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe and Amanda Seyfried, sang live on set – but Lambert insists the stars' vocals should instead have been pre-recorded and digitally enhanced.
He adds, "With that cast, they should have studio recorded and sweetened the vocals. Eponine's (Samantha Barks') voice was cool too… I felt like I should ignore the vocals and focus on the emotional subtext – but the singing was so distracting at times it pulled me out. The industry will say, 'These actors were so brave to attempt singing this score live' but why not cast actors who could actually sound good? Sorry for being so harsh but it's so true!"
Actress Evan Rachel Wood then tweeted Lambert to point out that her singing in 2007 musical "Across the Universe" wasn't dubbed, and he replied, "That sounded good! OK yes, that's another movie musical exception. That movie was on point. And you were stunning in it."

Distress tolerance was the first DBT skills module I encountered (after mindfulness, of course.) I knew I needed help with distress tolerance, which is a set of crisis survival strategies, but my initial reaction to most of it was that it was bullshit, hokey, outdated, and wouldn't work.
I was wrong.
Distress tolerance skills are about how to get through those tough moments that you can't change, but simply have to find a way to accept and tolerate. Acceptance doesn't signal agreement – accepting a crappy situation is not the same as approving of it, it's just acknowledging that you don't have control over it. For the purposes of DBT, "crisis" is anything emotionally upsetting – including spilling the milk – because distress is distress, regardless of scale, seriousness, or cause.
There are four main distress tolerance skill sets: self-soothing, distracting, improving the moment, and analyzing pros/cons. I really, really resisted for three reasons: I didn't feel that I deserved to be less distressed; I was afraid that actively distracting myself from distress would cause even bigger problems due to ADD; and I didn't really believe that anything I did would make distressing situations more tolerable. I also didn't want to accept the distressing situations I found myself in, and that just made it worse.
What I found is that these techniques do work if you actually let them, but you have to experiment to find what works best for you. As expected, I do have to be careful with distracting, but I've learned that sometimes it's exactly what I need to do (e.g., while waiting for Ativan to kick in when I'm in really bad shape). It also takes time and deliberate practice, but some of the skills are now automatic responses to distressing situations, which is how DBT is supposed to work.
Self-Soothing a Savage Beast
One of my first questions about self-soothing was how it differed from self-indulgence. I generally believed that being kind to myself was some kind of superfluous mollycoddling. It's true that self-soothing is about making yourself feel better, but I didn't feel I deserved or needed it. DBT held up a mirror that showed me I needed to practice self-compassion.
"Self-soothing with the five senses" is exactly what it sounds like. Using the lotion that smells so good and feels so nice that it makes you feel just a little less upset with the world. Flipping through a coffee-table book of visually-pleasing photos. Mindfully preparing a steaming mug of sipping chocolate (super-deluxe hot cocoa!) and then mindfully sipping it. Going outside somewhere that I can hear moving water – a creek, river, or lake. Baking cookies that make the whole house smell yummy. Hitting "play" on the playlist of songs that always make me feel good. These are little ways to make it easier to get through a bad moment.
All it really takes is realizing that I'm in distress, and asking if there is anything I can do to make the situation easier on myself (which requires some measure of mindfulness in the first place.) I mentally run through the five senses to check if any small, quick interventions will help me feel better right now.
Simple, really – but it took awhile to learn. Some of us forget to include "be nice to yourself" in our coping repertoires. I certainly needed the reminder.
Accepting Distraction
I know I can distract myself from distress; I get distracted from just about everything. The trick is finding a non-destructive distraction when you're in crisis (i.e., cutting not permitted), and for me, not losing too much time to it. I use distraction strategies sparingly because it's hard for me to refocus afterward.
The acronym for DBT-approved distraction strategies is "Wise Mind Accepts" – accepting that we can't change the situation, but can change our reaction to it. These are mostly "right now" strategies for immediate distractions. There are lots of options for ACCEPTS strategies, but here are a few that are effective for me:
- Activities – I take a walk, do some knitting, or write blog posts. Sometimes I go birding, which is especially effective because it demands more mindfulness and focus than many other activities.
- Contributing – I do Postcrossing and send cards and surprises to friends to do something nice for others, which shifts my thinking to an outward focus.
- Comparison – I compare the current situation to other similar (or worse) situations I've survived, and remind myself that I'll be OK.
- Emotion opposites – who doesn't watch comedies when they feel blue? I also have a "Dr. Feelgood" playlist for when I'm down, a "soothe" playlist for when I'm anxious, and a "zen" playlist for when I need to chill out already.
- Pushing away – I don't do this much – I'm more likely to use the Imagery strategy (below) to mentally leave a situation.
- Thoughts – I calculate powers of two in my head. I know, that's weird. Alternately, I'll take a walk and count my steps in Russian, French, or Spanish. Sometimes I count or calculate the number of floor or ceiling tiles in a room. These are reliable strategies when I need a distraction right now, like when I've got the uncontrollable crying going on and I'm at work or when my heart rate is slowly rising with anxiety in a doctor's office.
- Sensations – I turn up my car stereo really loud and sing along at the top of my lungs to a playlist of singable favorites – for me, this is good at dispelling
road rageanger and fear. Sometimes I'll take a hot bath with herbal bath salts that I mix up myself – also a self-soothing tactic.
Improving the Moment (or At Least How I Feel About It)
Improving the moment is basically about acceptance and doing what we can to buffer ourselves against emotional distress. To me, these techniques help in ongoing bad times, as opposed to in-the-moment interventions.
- Imagery – I take myself on a mental hike in the Adirondacks. Specifically, on the Dog Pond Loop section of the Cranberry Lake 50. It's a warm midsummer day, around 10 AM, with dappled sunshine on the leaves of the trees, which are forming a green arch above us. Watching where I put my feet, seeing my husband moving ahead of me on the trail in the periphery of my vision, stepping over rocks and through mud and picking my way through creeks, feeling the humid but cooling breeze off the lake, hearing the buzzing of dragonflies and cicadas, just moving down the warm green path with the irregular rhythm of hiking. After my mental hike, I feel more centered and calm, so I can handle emotional problems more rationally.
- Meaning – this is essentially about finding silver linings to make meaning of my suffering. I'm able to do this more often since I started keeping a gratitude journal, because that mentality is just easier to access with practice.
Prayer– not part of my repertoire, thanks.
- Relaxation – a cup of herbal tea, deep breathing, yogic breathing, a massage from my sweetheart, sometimes even a short nap…
- One thing at a time – mindfulness and meditation: by staying in the present, I can avoid the additional suffering of worrying about the past or future. This really, really helps and I use it a lot.
- Vacation – Just get out of the situation entirely for awhile – quite possibly my favorite strategy, until I have to go back to reality land. A walk in the woods is a good mini-vacation, even if it's in a city park; better yet is a day trip to a new birding hotspot. Adding a day or two of vacation to business trips gives me literal vacation that helps reduce anxiety about/from the intense social interactions of the business part of the trip.
- Encouragement – I kind of hate "cheerleading" statements, but I've found one that I'm OK with: I'm doing the best I can under the circumstances. That leads me to think critically about the circumstances and admit that it's (usually) not a personal failing but a difficult situation, and I really am doing the best that I can.
Analyzing Pros & Cons
I wrote about the process of analyzing pros and cons in some detail when I went through it the first time. While I don't use it all that often, I still keep a filled-in pros/cons 2×2 table in my top desk drawer for "avoidance." It's easy for me to remind myself why I need to resist avoidant behavior, and I think of it in moments when I realize I'm avoiding something that I probably should be facing. I found this strategy particularly useful because of its analytic approach, which is compatible with how I like to think about problems.

The Pentagon's recent decision to lift its ban on women in combat positions rightly reinforced the broader move toward gender equality in all areas of American life, from civic rights to culture to the professions and business.
Opponents of the move worry about the cohesion of field units with mixed genders and the physical fitness of women for combat. There's also the undeniable pull of tradition to consider. Old habits die hard.
But bad habits should be allowed to die, and since many women fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan have already proved themselves when thrust by circumstances into combat roles, the ban on women in front-line positions has been shown to be a bad ban. We're glad to see it go.
But let's go all the way.
If military women have proved they can be just as capable as military men, why exclude them from Selective Service and the draft? The most recent Selective Service Act, which became law in 1980 after the Soviets invaded Afghanistan, requires men between the ages of 18 and 25 to register in case of a draft. Women are excluded. It seems a contradiction now to say women can be assets on the front lines of America's battles but only America's men can be forced into battle. We can't have it both ways. Nor should we want to.
Calling for women to be drafted along with men is not the same as wanting them to fight. It's hard for leaders to look American parents in the eye and demand their sons for war. Imagine how much harder it would be for them to demand their daughters, too. Universal Selective Service would better ensure we go to war only when we absolutely have to.
Larry Romo, director of the Selective Service System, has said that he learned about the military's shift on women in combat from reports in the news media. The Pentagon evidently did not give much thought to women and the draft. Congressional leaders, however, should support true gender equality and pass a new Selective Service act that respects and calls up women's contributions to the nation's defense.

Tips for achieving romantic success are plentiful and lapped up as people search for the Holy Grail and the gateway to eternal happiness (one leading to the other is generally a given). The fact that there are endless advice columns and blogs on the topic belies the fact there is no definitive answer. No magic wand.
Is the same true for professional relationships? Relationships like those between clients and communications agencies. Given such relationships are generally established on a bed of hope that the connection can be mutually beneficial – surely, as professionals, we can benefit from the relationship gurus.
So, let's see if popular advice for finding romance can be transposed into a corporate landscape…
Well, yes. This rings true.
The advice generally goes on… It is about speaking up if there is something bothering either party – not burying it. It is about building respect and valuing what each party brings. Good relationships are built on trust. It is also about providing support – building each other up, rather than putting each other down – through reassurance and encouragement.
OK so the tone of some of that may seem a bit much for the workplace, but the essence is fair enough. Client relationships are enhanced by good honest communication.
It is also worth noting that respect is also about the way each party does business. Responsible, ethical sustainable business practices are increasingly important. Failure here can have dire consequences for a relationship (as the PR industry as seen recently with the Bell Pottinger situation.
While core to the communications element in point one it is worth underlining the importance of listening. Even listening to what is not said.
In terms of client relationships that are about ensuring you talk (yes actually talk, verbally) to your client contacts regularly, this will allow you to understand what drives them, their worries, even their personal concerns. It means that you will be much more able to understand and respond effectively to their needs – even pre-empt them.
The guidance for a successful romance points to ensure both parties are clear about what they would like or not like to happen within the relationship.
While for romantic life partners this may effectively mean respecting each other's likes and needs, in the agency-client dynamic it translates to making clear from the outset what the expectations are in terms of remit, scope of work and KPIs.
Don't get bogged down in the small stuff, the little annoyances.
That flippant e-mail or the lackluster response to news of the most amazing result. The key to this is not to let such behaviours get to you but to seek to understand them. More often than not there's a reason which you can learn from or offer support on.
Even healthy relationships can use a boost now and then. It may need a boost if one of you feel disconnected from the other or if it feels the relationship has gotten stale.
This is actually very important for professional partnerships. It is essential not to rest on your laurels and just keep doing what you've always done. Keep it fresh, come up with new ideas. Find ways to surprise and delight your client.
Relationships based on power and control rather than equality and respect are not healthy.
Being on the wrong side of a bullying client is one of the worst experiences you can go through in an agency. Communication is key to addressing this. Unfortunately, there are times when there is no solution and time needs to be called on the partnership.
I'm lucky enough to boast a client relationship of over 14 years – that's longer than I've been with my husband. While the remit has changed and evolved over the years along with various client contacts, what remains constant is a common goal to enhance and drive the reputation of the organisation.
Bring on the eternal happiness of good client relationships!

Portugal's Aljustrel copper/zinc mine is back in business and on the road to becoming a world class producer. A strategy to successively increase the capacity and efficiency of the haulage fleet is proving to be a key factor in the mine's new-found success.
After doubling its production from 1.2 Mt in 2012 to 2.4 Mt in 2015, the Aljustrel copper/zinc mine appears to be well on the road to a brighter future.
Once closed due to the global economic downturn, the mine has clearly been given a new lease of life by the current owners, Almina Aljustrel, and a new management strategy.
One of the reasons for the recent production increase was a strong focus on the efficiency of the haulage operation coupled with a decision to move up from 40 tonne trucks to 60 tonners, starting in 2015 with four Atlas Copco Minetruck MT6020 vehicles. These trucks, which haul ore from the stopes to underground crusher stations, have not only helped to increase capacity but also to reduce the traffic congestion on the ramps.
The experience has now led to the purchase of three more Minetruck MT6020 trucks, completing the fleet that will underpin Aljustrel's future development.
Joaquim Barreiros, Production Manager at EPDM, the owner's sister company in charge of equipment and maintenance, explains the importance of the haulage strategy to production planning.
"Our objective is to reduce the overall size of the fleet by increasing the capacity of the individual trucks, while at the same time enhancing our production by getting more round trips per shift," he says.
"The Minetruck MT6020 is well suited for this purpose. They are larger and faster and that will enable us to successively phase out our 40 tonners."
There are two main orebodies at the site, Moinho and Feitais, linked by a 4 km long conveyor tunnel. Both sections are in production using the bench-and-fill method with Atlas Copco Boomer and Simba drill rigs.
The Boomer rigs are used for access roadways, 5 m x 5 m from the main ramp, while the Simba rigs are used for longhole production drilling.
Epiroc operated under the trademark "Atlas Copco" prior to January 1, 2018.

Media outlets left out key information about the conservative author of new anti-Clinton book
Research ››› ››› NICOLE CASTA
In highlighting author Candice E. Jackson and her recent book attacking Bill and Hillary Clinton, MSNBC host Joe Scarborough, The Washington Times and the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review omitted two key facts: 1) according to the book jacket, Jackson wrote the book as "a wakeup call to stop Hillary Clinton from ever getting back into the White House"; and 2) Jackson is a former staffer of a conservative legal organization best known for its numerous lawsuits against the Clinton administration.
In profiling Jackson's Their Lives: The Women Targeted by the Clinton Machine, published by conservative imprint World Ahead Publishing and praised by right-wing pundits David Horowitz and Lucianne Goldberg, the conservative news website CNSNews.com reported that "Jackson admits that one of her goals it [sic] to prevent Sen. Hillary Clinton [D-NY] from being elected president in 2008. ... 'We have let the Clintons go to the White House once and I think this is a serious enough abuse issue to prevent them from going there again,' Jackson said."
Jackson worked for the California office of Judicial Watch, a conservative legal organization founded by Larry Klayman that "peppered the Clinton administration with no fewer than 18 lawsuits." [The Washington Post, 5/30/1998]
Here's how reporting on the Jackson book from The Washington Times, the Tribune-Review, and Scarborough stacked up:
- The Times failed to mention either Jackson's motivation for writing the book or her prior affiliation with Judicial Watch, even though it excerpted a CNSNews.com report that included both pieces of information. [6/1/05]
- Scarborough did not identify Jackson as a former Judicial Watch staffer, nor did he mention her motivation, though his guest, Democratic Leadership for the 21st Century founder Dave Pollak, pointed out that "the flap of the book" says that "it's a wakeup call to stop Hillary Clinton from ever getting back into the White House." [MSNBC's Scarborough Country, 5/16/05]
- In recommending the book "to browse at the shore this summer" in the May 22 edition of its "Whispers" column, the Tribune-Review failed to mention Jackson's stated motivation to block a potential presidential bid by the former first lady. The Tribune-Review stated that "Jackson once worked for Judicial Watch," but described it only as "a Washington-based public interest law firm." Further, the article did not mention that Judicial Watch has received more than $7.7 million from foundations controlled by Richard Mellon Scaife, the billionaire right-wing financier who owns the Tribune-Review and who also paid for the controversial anti-Clinton Arkansas Project.[5/22/05]
