(NOTE: Please see the Activism Update regarding this alert.)
By any standard, the New York Times' story of December 16 was a blockbuster: Reporters James Risen and Eric Lichtblau revealed that following the September 11 attacks, the Bush administration initiated warrantless wiretaps on hundreds of people within the U.S.--including U.S. citizens--even though a federal law, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978, expressly forbids the government from doing so. This program was legal only if one accepts the administration's contention that the executive branch has essentially unlimited powers during "wartime" (even though Congress has not declared war).
The Times story would be an outstanding example of how the First Amendment works to protect liberty--were it not for the ninth paragraph:
The reasoning is absurd on its face. As Times executive editor Bill Keller noted in a statement released on December 16 explaining his decision to publish the story, "The fact that the government eavesdrops on those suspected of terrorist connections is well-known." But this was as obvious a year ago as it is today. As for the government's spying being "jeopardized," placing illegal and unconstitutional programs in jeopardy is the whole point of the First Amendment (Extra! Update, 12/05).
But Keller's statement revealed that the Times does not see itself as competent to watch out for illegal government activity. In explaining the delay, Keller stated that the administration had "assured senior editors of the Times that a variety of legal checks had been imposed that satisfied everyone involved that the program raised no legal questions." Keller went on to say that "it is not our place to pass judgment on the legal or civil liberties questions involved in such a program, but it became clear those questions loomed larger within the government than we had previously understood."
In other words, Keller believes it is the Times' "place" to accept officials' own evaluation of the legality of their behavior. (Note that, to the Times, "everyone involved" does not include the people whose constitutional rights were violated, but only the handful of people inside the government who were aware of the program.)
This abdication of the press's responsibility to watchdog the government is startling. As Lawrence Velvel, dean of the Massachusetts School of Law, wrote in CounterPunch (1/7/06):
In reality, it's not clear that either reevaluation of the impact on national security or official dissent about the program's legality were the deciding factors in finally getting the story published; the fact that Risen was about to publish a book (State of War: The Secret History of the CIA and the Bush Administration) that would have scooped the Times while revealing that it had sat on a critical story was apparently a major consideration. "When they realized that it was going to appear in the book anyway, that is when they went ahead and agreed to publish the story," an unnamed New York Times reporter told the L.A. Times (12/20/05). "That's not to say that was their entire consideration, but it was a very important one of them."
So if one of the New York Times' reporters had not happened to be working on a book, the administration might well still be conducting its warrantless wiretaps in undisturbed secrecy. In any event, the Bush administration succeeded in getting the piece held until after the 2004 elections, guaranteeing that it would not interfere with Bush's electoral chances.
There are several other revelations in Risen's book (see New York Observer, 1/9/06), and it's unclear how many of them his paper declined to publish. The L.A. Times (1/4/06) did report that a Risen story about a bungled plot to give partially incorrect nuclear information to Iran was spiked "at the request of the White House and former CIA Director George J. Tenet."
If media oversight of government is at all a significant concern, there are clearly many important questions left unanswered by the Times' one-paragraph admission of delay and Keller's wholly unsatisfying elaboration. Yet the Times seems to have decided that no further explanation will be forthcoming; when Byron Calame, the Times' own public editor, submitted a list of questions to Keller and to publisher Arthur Sulzberger, they were rejected en masse (New York Times, 1/1/06). Asked about the delay on the Today show (1/3/06), Risen himself stated, "I've agreed with the paper not to discuss the internal deliberations."
One hopes that Keller and Sulzberger would not want their reporters to accept, as an institution's response to a controversy, a declaration that it would rather not discuss it. Those who have been rebuffed by the Times--reporters from other news outlets, the paper's public editor and members of the public themselves--should continue to demand answers that make sense.
ACTION: Please contact New York Times executive editor Bill Keller and let him know that failing to answer questions about the Times' year-long suppression of the warrantless wiretapping story is not acceptable. (Note: FAIR would ordinarily direct activists to the Times' public editor, whose job it is to respond to the public, but in this case Times executives have prevented the public editor from investigating the matter.)

Willie, Joey and the Doc
By Craig Muder
One at a time, they approached the podium at the New York Hilton. Men of great fame, accustomed to honors and accolades.
And one at a time, they looked to their right – 30 feet away in the audience at the New York City Baseball Writers' Association of America dinner on Saturday night. And they acknowledged the great Willie Mays.
Ron Gardenhire, skipper of the Minnesota Twins and the 2010 American League Manager of the Year. Bud Harrelson, the glue that held the 1969 Miracle Mets together at shortstop. John Denny, the 1983 National League Cy Young Award winner.
Each told similar versions of the same tale, separated by only geography and time. Mays was their hero, the player who inspired them to what they became.
As more than one said: The greatest living ballplayer.
It was a chance to celebrate the Giants' Hall of Famer, who will turn 80 this spring yet still elicits kid-like awe from three generations of baseball fans. For many, just sharing dinner with Mays was an experience they'll never forget.
Mays, however, was far from the only star in the room. The best of the best from the 2010 season received their hardware Saturday night, joined at the head table by luminaries like 2011 Hall of Fame electee Pat Gillick, 2012 HOF hopeful Barry Larkin, and Yankees general manager Brian Cashman.
It was the coda to the 2010 season, the official start of 2011. In 22 days, pitchers and catchers will begin to report to camps in Florida and Arizona. And the journey will begin anew.
It will be tough to top the heroics of 2010. Cy Young performances by Roy Halladay and Felix Hernandez. MVP seasons by Josh Hamilton and Joey Votto. And farewell campaigns from legendary managers Bobby Box, Lou Piniella and Joe Torre.
But come January of 2012, the magic will return at the BBWAA dinner. Maybe not with the bonus of an appearance by Willie Mays, but with the joy that is reborn with every fresh season on the diamond.
Craig Muder is the director of communications for the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

All-Weather Wicker Solano Sectional Slipper Chair
Chic, sturdy, comfortable
I walk into my backyard & I immediately escape to my happy place. This set is sturdy & comfortable. We used two arms & one slipper chair, ended up splitting (see pic). Assembly was very straightforward. Splashed in some accent pieces for added color. Scotch guarded the fabric as others suggested, but I expect to purchase slip covers in the future, which I don't mind since I love all the colors. The seat cushions have zippers so you can wash, although the pillows do not.

cushion review
I purchase 5 pieces of this sectional last spring. I love the overall look, but was very concerned about the white cushions. (not very practical for outdoors) I've read other reviews that people are displeased with the custions. After having used them for a year, my cushions are in fairly good shape. I however had babied them. I cover the sectional with a tarp when I know its going to rain and vacuum them often. I am a little obsessed keeping them clean. I haven't machine washed them yet but plan to do so soon. So far I am very happy with my purchase and planning on getting one more slipper chair.

It is incredibly disheartening... Perhaps Someone With Knowledge With Explosives Could Find A Way Through?
You leave out the door, and you notice something else. Off the side of the room to the west, there is a hole that leads to the room below, but the hole is only large enough to fit one person at a time. Looking deeper into the hole, the entire room is dark, and the fall is over Twenty Feet. Without some kind of rope or ladder, there is no getting down there safely, especially with no hope of getting out.
For now, there isn't much you can do.
UPDATE: The way into the Reactor is blocked. If you had a large explosive, or someone with explosives training and a smaller explosive charge, you could bust in. Alternatively, if you had a rope or a Ladder you could descend into the western Hole.
To the North: Caved in entrance to Vault 122. Moving in this direction will allow you to leave the Vault and explore the wastes.
To the West (Update): Reactor and water purification plant. Moving in this direction will lead you to the Overseer's task of finding out what is contaminating the water. Large boulders and debris are blocking your way down. A large explosive could get you through.
To the West (New): A hole that leads to the reactor room. It is only large enough to fit one person at a time, but the fall is too great. You need something to safely lower you down.
To the South (Update): Pod Chamber. Moving in this direction will allow you to return to where you awoke, perhaps to gather more supplies, although it doesn't seem like there are any left.
To the East: Overseer's Chamber. Moving in this direction will lead you into the Overseer's Chamber. Knowledge is power, and the Overseer seems to know much.

The Tumi Difference
Add-a-bag system
Quickly and easily add another travel piece or business case using our patented Add-A-Bag hook with secure fastened tab closure that holds in excess of 200 pounds. Also, many Tumi business cases and totes feature a back sleeve that slips over extended luggage handles allowing you to stack and carry heavier bags on your wheeled luggage. Used together, these features allow travelers to effortlessly carry two or three items at the same time with one hand.
Omega Closure System®
Tumi's patented closure system significantly reduces the risk of damage to the zipper. The Omega zipper puller is designed to break away from the bag if it becomes caught. The puller, rather than the entire zipper, is then quickly and easily replaced.
FXT Ballistic Nylon®
Tumi was the first to bring ballistic nylon to the consumer market over 30 years ago. Now we have perfected it with our exclusive FXT ballistic fabric, which combines a unique weave and a special coating to make it ultra-tough and virtually abrasion proof.
Tumi Tracer®
The Tumi Tracer® is an exclusive, complimentary program that helps reunite Tumi customers with their lost or stolen items. The core of the program is a unique 20-digit individual product number printed on a special metal plate that is permanently affixed to Tumi products. That number, along with the owners contact information, is entered into our Tracer database when a bag is registered with us, and used to help aid in the recovery of lost or stolen items that are reported to us.
This item has a pocket or compartment that is designed to hold eReaders including the iPad, Kindle and Nook.

Ruth Lilly Visitors Pavilion
Marlon Blackwell Architect designed this visitors pavilion in a park adjacent to the Indianapolis Museum of Art.
Timothy Hursley
Gold Medal: Steven HollArchitecture Firm of the Year: VJAA25-Year Award: Frank Gehry's HouseInstitute Honor Award: ArchitectureInstitute Honor Award: Interior ArchitectureInstitute Honor Award: Regional and Urban DesignAIA Other Awards
Situated in a 100-acre park at the Indianapolis Museum of Art, the Ruth Lilly pavilion was designed by Fayetteville, Ark.–based Marlon Blackwell Architect. The project features an angular canopy of ipe wood slats that envelops a glass-enclosed multipurpose room.
Jury: "This pavilion is artfully cast in the shadows of the adjacent trees; its transparency is enhanced by a latticed canopy that filters light through its entirety. … Its low posture and horizontal form enhance the encompassing flora."
Client: "It is incredibly beautiful to sit in there, and quiet and contemplative. It's like sitting outside, only you are in a building. I think what it does is it really heightens your awareness of what is around you—the nature and light and the colors and textures and sounds." —Lisa Freiman, director, 100 Acres: The Virginia B.

But understand that when you come in and say "can I get a summary of what's going on" or "did anyone say anything important", it can come off as quite offensive even if you didn't mean it that way. People put time and effort into their post to make it fun and enjoyable for everyone. so to come in here and say that makes it sound like you don't give a crap about what is being said, or care very much about the people you are playing with.
Arguing your point or nit picking other people's statements, like what you just did with Dorian, can come across as arrogant and selfish as well. Even if you didn't mean it that way.
Because I have little time, I ask which posts relate to my character. Those posts I read. I don't mean to be offensive but I am looking for a job and another place to stay for a while. I don't want sympathy either. I want people to understand me.

I was finally inspired to draw her something as a gift when I went to visit her at the hospice she had been staying at the weekend before Sept. 1st, only for her to die the next day before I ever got the chance to finish it, let alone go visit her again, as I had to stay home that day to catch up on reading for a quiz for school.
Really crappy circumstances, that.
In any case...I drew up this card because of this one memory of me my grandma was so fond of reminding me and everyone else of. When I was little, around kindergarten age, I would eagerly attempt to teach my grandma English words--having learned English myself because of school, and having a grandma who could only speak Spanish.
I would point out things, like tables, chairs, furniture, food, and tell them what they were called in English. She'd call me her little teacher because of it. My grandma would say that of all the words I attempted to teach her, the one word that stuck was "cookie." She was so proud of that, that she learned how to say "cookie" and always remembered it.
So...I decided to draw her a card based on that memory, and tucked it in with her when we went to see her today for the Rosary thing that was held.
So...yeah. Rest in Peace, Abuelita.

triptych | tri-college digital library
Montrose, First-day eve.11-14-80My dearest Lilly,Thy last writtern on the 11th came to hand yesterday. I was very glad to hear about the matinée and that thee enjoyed it. No doubt it did thee a world of good though thee was exhausted with the unaccustomed effort. If thee had to do something of the sort everyday, it would be as nothing to thee. What I fear for thee, as thee is well aware, is that the constant habit of conferring thyself to a certain routine and one set of ideas will unfit thee certainly for anything else.

On 15 January 2014, on the occasion of the Commemoration of the 20 years of the Rwandan Genocide of 1994, the Permanent Mission of Rwanda to the United Nations and the Global Centre for the Responsibility to Protect, held a meeting on early warning of mass atrocities and prevention tools.
Dr. Simon Adams, Executive Director of the Global Centre for the Responsibility to Protect, recalled that the world had a responsibility to protect all people from mass atrocities crimes and abuses of Human rights on a large scale.
Mr. Jan Eliasson, UN Deputy Secretary-General, called the United Nations to strengthen their action, respond early and be more reactive by stopping crimes from turning into mass atrocities. The international community had to pay close attention to religious and ethnic divisions, which could now be seen in South Soudan or the Central African Republic. It was first and foremost the duty of the States to take their responsibility to prevent genocide but also the duty of the United Nations.
According to Lieutenant-General Romeo Dallaire, former Force Commander of the UN Mission in Rwanda in 1994, a new framework for early warning and prevention was necessary. It was the responsibility of all States to protect civilians.
Finally, Mrs. Eugenie Mukeshimana, Rwandan genocide survivor, called for accountability for criminals.
The permanent representative of France confirmed the commitment of France to go forward with its initiative, calling on the 5 permanent members of the Security Council not to use the veto when it would prevent the protection of civilians from genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes. The Syrian crisis was the proof that the international community was still powerless in front of massive crimes against humanity. In the Central African Republic, the international community had to act in order to contain the hatred and the resentment between communities.
A follow-up to the "right to intervene", initiated by Bernard Kouchner and Mario Bettati, the concept of "responsibility to protect" (R2P) was coined in the 2001 Report of the International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty (ICISS), and endorsed by the United Nations General Assembly in 2005.
In September 2005, at the largest gathering of Heads of State and Government in history, UN Member States adopted a document which clearly sets out the international community's, and particularly the Security Council's "responsibility to protect" when a State is unable or unwilling to protect its population from the most serious crimes (see paragraphs 138 and 139 of the 2005 World Summit Outcome Document).
The members of the UN recognized that each State has a duty to protect its people from genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity, but it is the international community's subsidiary responsibility, within the framework of the UN, to protect populations from these four crimes.
The responsibility to protect (R2P) is a broad concept which is based on the responsibility of States to protect their own populations; it outlines the possible actions by the international community in terms of providing assistance and strengthening the capacity of States, and lays the framework for a resolute response by the international community to crises. The strategy focuses on the importance of prevention, at the same time as reaffirming that in the most serious cases, the international community's responsibility to protect can take the form of coercive military intervention, based on a decision by the Security Council under Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter.
138. Each individual State has the responsibility to protect its populations from genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity. This responsibility entails the prevention of such crimes, including their incitement, through appropriate and necessary means. We accept that responsibility and will act in accordance with it. The international community should, as appropriate, encourage and help States to exercise this responsibility and support the United Nations in establishing an early warning capability.
139. The international community, through the United Nations, also has the responsibility to use appropriate diplomatic, humanitarian and other peaceful means, in accordance with Chapters VI and VIII of the Charter, to help to protect populations from genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity. In this context, we are prepared to take collective action, in a timely and decisive manner, through the Security Council, in accordance with the Charter, including Chapter VII, on a case-by-case basis and in cooperation with relevant regional organizations as appropriate, should peaceful means be inadequate and national authorities are manifestly failing to protect their populations from genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity. We stress the need for the General Assembly to continue consideration of the responsibility to protect populations from genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity and its implications, bearing in mind the principles of the Charter and international law. We also intend to commit ourselves, as necessary and appropriate, to helping States build capacity to protect their populations from genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity and to assisting those which are under stress before crises and conflicts break out.
140. We fully support the mission of the Special Adviser of the Secretary-General on the Prevention of Genocide.
The responsibility to protect at the Security Council and the General Assembly
Since 2005, when all Member States acknowledged their collective responsibility to protect populations, the Security Council has referred to the responsibility to protect in six resolutions:
— resolution 1674 (2006) and Resolution 1894 (2009), which established the Security Council's regulatory framework on the protection of civilians in armed conflicts; they reaffirmed the provisions of paragraphs 138 and 139 of the 2005 World Summit Outcome Document;
— resolution 1706 (2006) on the situation in Darfur; it also refers to the relevant provisions of the 2005 document;
— resolutions 1970 (2011) and 1973 (2011) on the situation in Libya. Resolution 1970 recalls "the Libyan authorities' responsibility to protect its population"; this is reaffirmed by resolution 1973.
— resolution 1975 (2011) on the situation on Côte d'Ivoire. It reaffirms "the primary responsibility of each State to protect civilians".
On 14 September 2009 the General Assembly adopted by consensus its first resolution on R2P (Resolution A/RES/63/308). The text was introduced by Guatemala and cosponsored by 67 countries including all the members of the European Union.
This resolution recalls the 2005 World Summit outcome document, in which heads of State and Government unanimously asserted the principle of the responsibility to protect, and takes note of the report of the Secretary General in January 2009 (see below).
Work of the Secretariat and of the Special Advisers
— Edward Luck has been UN Secretary-General Special Advisor on the Responsibility to Protect since February 2008. He works closely with the Special Advisor for the Prevention of Genocide, Mr. Francis Deng, and his team. Their evaluation and oversight role is aimed at strengthening the early warning mechanisms within the framework of mass atrocity prevention.
The two Special Advisors issued a joint statement on 29 December 2010 with respect to the situation in Côte d'Ivoire. They reminded all parties of their responsibility to protect all persons in Côte d'Ivoire, irrespective of their ethnicity, nationality or religion. (See press release). Similarly, on 22 February 2011, they expressed their concerns regarding the reports of mass violence in Libya and reiterated the commitments undertaken by the heads of State and Government at the 2005 World Summit (See press release ).
— On 14 July 2010, the Secretary-General submitted a report to the General Assembly on "Early warning, assessment and the responsibility to protect." This report recommends strengthening the mechanisms for sharing and analyzing information received and for improving the early warning mechanisms. On 9 August 2010, the General Assembly held an informal interactive dialogue with representatives of civil society on this issue. The Secretary-General submitted his first report on R2P in January 2009 where he laid out the concept of the three pillars of R2P.
Pillar one
The protection responsibilities of the State
(a) Pillar one is the enduring responsibility of the State to protect its populations, whether nationals or not, from genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity, and from their incitement. The latter, I would underscore, is critical to effective and timely prevention strategies. The declaration by the Heads of State and Government in paragraph 138 of the Summit Outcome that "we accept that responsibility and will act in accordance with it" is the bedrock of the responsibility to protect. That responsibility, they affirmed, lies first and foremost with the State. The responsibility derives both from the nature of State sovereignty and from the pre-existing and continuing legal obligations of States, not just from the relatively recent enunciation and acceptance of the responsibility to protect;
Pillar two
International assistance and capacity-building
(b) Pillar two is the commitment of the international community to assist States in meeting those obligations. It seeks to draw on the cooperation of Member States, regional and subregional arrangements, civil society and the private sector, as well as on the institutional strengths and comparative advantages of the United Nations system. Too often ignored by pundits and policymakers alike, pillar two is critical to forging a policy, procedure and practice that can be consistently applied and widely supported. Prevention, building on pillars one and two, is a key ingredient for a successful strategy for the responsibility to protect;
Pillar three
Timely and decisive response
(c) Pillar three is the responsibility of Member States to respond collectively in a timely and decisive manner when a State is manifestly failing to provide such protection. Though widely discussed, pillar three is generally understood too narrowly. As demonstrated by the successful bilateral, regional and global efforts to avoid further bloodshed in early 2008 following the disputed election in Kenya, if the international community acts early enough, the choice need not be a stark one between doing nothing or using force. A reasoned, calibrated and timely response could involve any of the broad range of tools available to the United Nations and its partners. These would include pacific measures under Chapter VI of the Charter, coercive ones under Chapter VII and/or collaboration with regional and subregional arrangements under Chapter VIII. The process of determining the best course of action, as well as of implementing it, must fully respect the provisions, principles and purposes of the Charter. In accordance with the Charter, measures under Chapter VII must be authorized by the Security Council. The General Assembly may exercise a range of related functions under Articles 10 to 14, as well as under the "Uniting for peace" process set out in its resolution 377 (V). Chapters VI and VIII specify a wide range of pacific measures that have traditionally been carried out either by intergovernmental organs or by the Secretary-General. Either way, the key to success lies in an early and flexible response, tailored to the specific needs of each situation.
The responsibility to protect and the International Criminal Court
Implementing the responsibility to protect populations against the most egregious crimes by preventing and punishing such acts is an essential part of the fierce struggle against impunity. Impunity is being fought to protect populations against future massacres by deterring the use of violence, and holding those responsible for genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes and massive human rights violations accountable for their crimes.
International criminal justice has a prominent role to play in bringing the main perpetrators of the most serious crimes to trial when national jurisdictions fail to do so. With the creation of the International Criminal Court (ICC), the UN International Criminal Tribunals for Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia and the mixed tribunals in Sierra Leone and in Cambodia, the international community demonstrated that it does not intend let such crimes go unpunished.
The Rome Statute (1998) authorizes the ICC to prosecute the perpetrators of three of the four of the most serious crimes (genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes) cited by United Nations Member States under the "responsibility to protect" in Articles 138-139 of the 2005 World Summit Outcome, all of which fall under the ICC's jurisdiction.
In resolution 1970 (February 2011) on the situation in Libya, the Security Council, "considering that the widespread and systematic attacks (...) may amount to crimes against humanity", and "recalling the Libyan authorities' responsibility to protect its population" decided to refer the situation in Libya since 15 February 2011 to the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court.

(CNN) — Optimism for a last-minute deal averting massive across-the-board spending cuts was scarce Sunday, leaving lawmakers and governors squabbling over who will be to blame for the "meat cleaver" budget slashing set to take effect on March 1.
Congress returns to work Monday after a weeklong break, and while Senate Democrats plan to vote on a measure that would replace the cuts for one year, no feasible compromise plan appears in the works that would gain congressional approval before Friday.
"I won't put all the blame on the president of the United States, but the president leads. The president should be calling us over somewhere, Camp David, the White House, somewhere, and sitting down and trying to avert these cuts," Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona, said on CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday.
Democrats, predictably, pinned the blame elsewhere.
"Unless the Republicans are willing to compromise and do a balanced approach, I think it will kick in," Sen. Claire McCaskill of Missouri, a Democrat, said on "Fox News Sunday."
Even the effects of the cuts, known in Washington parlance as the "sequester," were in question, with Democrats and administration officials adamant they would spell disaster for education and transportation programs. While a large portion of the cuts will affect defense spending, there will also be a forced reduction of civilian program budgets, though neither side seems to agree on just how harsh those cuts will feel.
As part of the forced cuts, which total $85 billion, the Federal Aviation Administration will be required to slash $600 million from its budget. Appearing at the White House on Friday, Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood warned those cuts would result in major delays at American airports.
Pressed by CNN Chief Political Correspondent Candy Crowley on Sunday why those cuts must result in delayed flights, LaHood explained that air traffic controllers consumed a substantial part of his agency's resources.
"We're going to try and cut as much as we possibly can out of contracts and other things that we do," he said. "But in the end, there has to be some kind of furlough of air traffic controllers, and that will also begin to curtail or eliminate the opportunity for them to guide planes in and out of airports."
Another Cabinet official, Education Secretary Arne Duncan, warned Sunday that thousands of schoolteachers could lose their jobs if the cuts take effect, saying on CBS there are "literally teachers now who are getting pink slips, who are getting notices they can't come back this fall."
"We don't have any ability with dumb cuts like this to figure out what the right thing to do is. It just means that a lot more children will not get the kinds of services and opportunities they need," Duncan said.
Those claims were met with skepticism from some Republicans, one of whom alleged Obama and his allies were "absolutely" exaggerating the impact of the cuts.
"The American people, we see all these claims about what a tragedy it's going to be," Sen. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma said on "Fox News Sunday," pointing to statements from LaHood and Homeland Security boss Janet Napolitano.
"They have plenty of flexibility in terms of discretion on how they spend money," Coburn said. "There are easy ways to cut this money that the American people will never feel. What you hear is an outrage because nobody wants to cut spending."
Another Republican, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, called the dire warnings from Obama administration officials merely "great political theater about how cutting less than 3% of the federal budget can cause all these awful consequences."
'Here is [Obama's] chance to say, 'Here is how we can do it better.' The reality is the federal budget, even after the cuts, will be larger than last year's budget," Jindal said on NBC's "Meet the Press."
Other governors, both Democratic and Republican, sounded resigned to the reality of the budget cuts taking effect Friday. The state executives are gathered in Washington for the winter meeting of the National Governors Association, and will hear from Obama at a dinner Sunday evening.
"These are job-killing cuts, and we have to find a way to avoid them," Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley said on CBS' "Face the Nation."
His neighbor, Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, also said some kind of fix was necessary to avoid the huge defense budget cuts that would affect his state in particular.
We've got to get the job done. It's been 18 months. The sequester was put in place to be a hammer, not a policy, and now here we are just a week away from getting it done," McDonnell said.

Save our School food
Hi Guys,
As you may have seen from the recent press coverage and my interview with the lovely folk down at BBC Breakfast I am really worried about school food in the UK at the moment. Why? Didn't I sort that in 2005 with the introduction of legislation that stops caterers and schools serving up rubbish? Haven't we been making huge change to the quality of the food we serve our kids 190 days of the year ever since? Well the honest answer to that is yes we have. Loads of fantastic people including the previous government, head teachers, school cooks, caterers, parents and other school food organisations have put a massive amount of effort, time and money into making sure our kids eat better which really has changed things for the greater good in terms of our kids behaviour, their ability to do well at school and perhaps more importantly in terms of their health and their future.
The reason I am worried is that I truly believe this government is putting everybody's hard work and success at risk. Their decision to remove the nutritional standards, the very piece of work that has made all this positive change possible, from new academies and free schools means not only will everybody's hard work and money be wasted but our kids health and education success will be put back in jeopardy. I fear that as more schools become new academies and free schools we will slowly see poor quality food and the likes of the smiley face, turkey twizzler and the processed congealed meat that passes as a nugget or a sausage roll back on the menu in schools across England. It might be a slow process but it will happen. In fact there is already some evidence out there proving that.
We really can't let that happen. It's crazy. I wish I shared Mr Gove's optimism that all new academies and free schools will continue to follow the nutritional standards on their own and although I am sure some will, I have also been in this game long enough to know that many won't. The government are doing a survey of standards in academies but this taking time and money and it is probably far too early to see the extent of the damage to come. So isn't good enough. Surely, all the evidence we need to support nutritional standards being in place for ALL schools is in the disgusting state of school food in England before the nutritional standards were bought in 6 years ago.
Without the nutritional standards in ALL our schools we will slowly but surely go full circle and in the middle of an obesity crisis and an economic crisis we simply can't afford to do that. It costs nothing to keep the nutritional standards in place for ALL our schools. The hard work has already been done. The infrastructure and support behind them is out there already and schools and caterers alike are already meeting them so why not just leave things alone.
As in 2005, I need you all behind me here if I am to have any chance of influencing the government's decision to exempt new academies and free schools from the nutritional standards So if you, like me want to see the nutritional standards law in ALL our schools across England and good quality school food to remain on our kid's plates then please show your support by visiting my new face book page and shouting about it!

Re: Save our School food
Mr Oliver , we have a lovely school cook at the school that I help in ,( I know she would be happy for you to call.) I have not seen the school dinners fr a while as I am in a different art of the building doing a sandwich duty when I am in school.
I know that there is a salad bar that the children can help themselves to to go with their meal. There are baked potates with fillings , filled rolls , and hot dishes that are prepared daily . I am not sure how much frozen foods are used as I have not had the oppertunity to call into the kitchens for a while but I do know that she realy tries to cook what she can from fresh but of course this is deendant on the menu dictated by county and the supplier has is assigned.
I saw your interview on BBC Breakfast and as a result I wrote to a friend of mine who will be setting up an accadamy for next year.
I totally agree that we cannot have a backward step .
How else can we help to try to prevent this backwad step ?

Re: Save our School food
In order that schools always served good foods in France, we bought lunch tichets from the Town Hall once a month....depending on the parents income it was estimated how much each family should pay, if you fell into the first group say A-G you pay the tickets at whole price, H-O lesser etc, i have always thought that it was an excellent idea.
Kids either ate at school as parents worked or at home when a parent didn't work, i have never seen lunch boxes in the schools.
English friend made 4 lunch boxes every morning for years for his 4 kids when he was a single Dad, (his youngest was one year old, second youngest two yrs old when the mother left them)....he took them to school everyday before going to do a days work...if he could do so then why can't others....until at last schools and parents become better educated on the subject.
He now works in a school himself and is obliged to make his lunch box every day....in Essex!!

Re: Save our School food
My husband often visits the canteen at middays to make sure that (the young as we call them) mentally handicapped adults choose their menus correctly... the nurse is always present and a tutor too....same but different story....
Mentioned just because that often it is the only decent meal that they have in a day, as with many kids in the schools that you are fighting for.

Re: Save our School food
I do a sandwich duty in school and I always find the lunch bxes interesting , they are very varied , the children at school are a whole host of nationalities , from countries like Pakistan , Bangladesh , Yemin , Malasia to name just a few with Welsh/English children are in the minority.
Its an interesting school and as you can see the children will have their own ideas what is good to have in a packed lunch box.
some children will happily bring in 'left overs ' from the meal the night before whilst others might have a sandwich , samosas , sausage roll ,pastie or filled bread roll.
Most children bring a packet of crisps/potato chips .
Not all bring a piece of fruit.
many bring some yoghurt.
some bring a chocolate biscuit , a muffin or a piece of cake.
then are the things like cheese strings or those little pepperami and only a few children bring these.
in the colder weather quite a few will have a thermos flask of soup or sometimes stew.
I have noticed quite a few sweets being put int lunch boxes recently , I try to discourage ( sometimes a child might just have a packet of sweets and a chocolate biscuit or packet of crisps in their luch box )this a bit but of course we cannot dictate to the parents what goes into a childs packed lunch box.
Those are my more recent packed lunch observations !

Re: Save our School food
Dear Mr Oliver , it is not only the future of school food that is facing dire times. I am a food technology teacher and Under the previous government Food technology/home economics became compulsory as a national curriculum subject up to Key Stage 3. The previous government realised this subject was necessary as a generation of children had grown up without the necessary culinary skills and knowledge of their food to properly care for themselves and their own children. Under the new English baclaurate This subject has under the coillition party been considered unneccessary, along with all funding for ingredients for those on benefits. To offer Food/Design technology is now optional for schools and as an expensive subject for the schools to run in this economic climate.

Academic Resources
Senior Thesis Guidelines
Senior Thesis Overview
The Senior Thesis is designed to provide students an opportunity to do an intense piece of research and writing in any area of anthropology under the mentorship of two members of the anthropology faculty. A senior thesis may be based on original research, library research, or a combination of the two, but in any case should build on a student's previous course work in anthropology. It should include a thorough review of relevant previous literature and develop an original argument on the topic. In addition to a written paper, students are expected to do a public presentation of their thesis.
All Senior Theses are considered Mentored Advanced Projects (MAPs). Under this program, the college may provide some funding for necessary expenses incurred during the completion of a thesis. Application for such funds must be made through a faculty member. There is also funding for students to present their theses at appropriate professional meetings any time within a year of graduation. Application for these funds is through the Dean's Office. PLEASE NOTE: while all Senior Theses count as MAPs, NOT all MAPs count as Senior Theses. Senior Theses must follow the application procedure outlined below. Non-Senior Thesis MAPs may not substitute for a senior seminar in meeting the requirements of the major.
Application ProcedureEnrollment in MAP or Senior Thesis is not automatic. Students must retain a thesis advisor from the department and apply for permission to the entire faculty of the department to complete a senior thesis. The application consists of a written proposal that explains the thesis topic and the student's ability to successfully complete it. The faculty must be convinced that the student has already done enough work on the topic to allow the successful completion of a thesis by the end of the semester.
Academic merit and the faculty's assessment of the student's ability to work independently are also taken into account. The department will evaluate applications, will notify candidates of the departmental decision prior or during pre-registration, and if the proposal is accepted will assign a second reader.Senior Thesis Application Deadlines
• Contact a potential thesis advisor by the 5th week of the semester.
• Submit preliminary proposal of four double-spaced pages to advisor by a
date determined in consultation with advisor.
• Submit final proposal to the department by two weeks before the
beginning of preregistration.
• Receive notification from department by beginning of pre-registration.
The final proposal should include:
1. A Statement of the studen'ts background relevant to completing the
project, including previous coursework, off-campus study experience, and other experience (approx. 1 page)
2. A bibliography with annotations of the sources that have already been
3. The signature of a faculty member in the department who has agreed to be
the primary supervisor for the thesis
4. Description of the thesis topic (approximately 4 double-spaced pages),
which should include the following:
• Statement of the central question(s) or hypothesis to be investigated.
• Brief overview of different ways this topic has been treated in recent
scholarship [1]
• Clear indication of what theoretical approach or approaches will be
used in the thesis and why.
• Clear indication of what methods will be used and, if the thesis
entails work with living persons, an expression of understanding of the role of the Institutional Review Board (IRB)
Thesis Preparation and Submission
Generally, students should plan to begin actual writing no later than mid-semester. This means that a considerable part of the necessary research must be completed prior to the beginning of the semester. It is the department's expectation that the student will work closely with the primary faculty supervisor throughout the semester. The secondary reader's role is more flexible, but at least will include close consultation with the student and the primary reader early in the semester as the topic and approach are being refined, and again toward the end of the semester to evaluate drafts of the thesis.
In the past, senior theses in anthropology have been anywhere from 30 to 60 pages long. Examples of previous theses are available for examination in Goodnow Hall. In preparing the final draft, students should use one of the major citation and bibliographic styles used in the discipline. (see the guidelines of the American Anthropological Association for an example.) The timing of a student's oral presentation of the thesis will be based on mutual agreement, normally prior to final examination week The student should submit an electronic version of the thesis to Marna Montgomery (montgomm[at]grinnell[dot]edu), Academic Support Staff in Goodnow Hall.
The student should also prepare three copies of the final draft of the thesis, one for each reader and one for department files. The two readers will decide whether or not to accept the final version as submitted, indicating their acceptance by signing the copy of the thesis that will become part of the department's collection.
[1] We envision not a comprehensive historical overview of the literature as much as a contextualization of where the student's topic fits within a larger area of discourse, and then an indication of which conversation regarding the topic (perhaps of several possible ones) the student intends to join. The student, working with his/her advisor and other members of the department, should in the proposal identify, and at least briefly discuss, some of the important approaches that have been taken to the topic, but we do not expect the student to incorporate every one of these approaches in the final thesis.

• Beginning of semester: consultations with first and second faculty

• Second to last or last week of classes: public oral presentation of

Art Collection
Seri Ironwood Carvings
This gallery was created by Egan Liias '05 and Cristina Wood '05, both Anthropology majors at Grinnell College, as a part of their 2004 summer research/M.A.P project.
Work was done with the collection of Seri carvings donated by Dale B. Furnish '62, in order to create physical exhibition cases in Goodnow Hall and this virtual gallery to share Mr. Furnish's generous gift with the public.
Our work also included research on the Seri Indians of Sonora, Mexico; focusing on numerous aspects of their culture, and the necessities for beginning the art of ironwood carving.
We would like to give special thanks to Dale Furnish, Jim Lindell, Lesley Wright, Kathy Kamp, Fred Hagemeister, Paula Forbes, Grinnell College Anthropology Department, and the Faulconer Gallery for all their support.
