Choose Your Own Supreme Court Justice
Out of our Top 21, whom do you like best?
As a pre-eminent scholar of international law, Koh is a leading proponent of the notion that the United States can learn from the laws and judicial precedents of other countries. He has written and spoken about the role of "transnational jurisprudence"—a body of law that spans different countries and international courts—and has shown that since the founding, the decisions of foreign courts have influenced the development of American law. The far right attacked Koh's views on international law after Obama tapped him for the State Department legal post, even though they largely match the positions taken by a majority of the Supreme Court in cases like Roper v. Simmons, which abolished the death penalty for defendants who commit crimes as juveniles. In a friend-of-the-court brief filed in that case, Koh attached the juvenile death penalty for clashing with American interests. We've weighed in about the Koh bashing on Slate here and here. If appointed, Koh would become the first Asian-American to sit on the Supreme Court. (Disclosure: Emily Bazelon is a fellow at Yale Law School.)
Leigh Ingalls Saufley, 55,is the chief justice of the Maine Supreme Judicial Court and the first woman and youngest member of the court ever to be appointed chief justice. A graduate of the University of Maine-Orono and the University of Maine School of Law, Saufley logged 10 years of service in the state's Attorney General Office. As chief justice, Saufley has spearheaded efforts to bring mental health courts to Maine, giving offenders the option of accepting mental health treatment in lieu of going to jail. She also supported a Maine law that would restrict how much information the public receives about a jury, if a judge deems the information should be kept secret.
Notable cases: In 2007, she voted to approve a state statute requiring drivers involved in fatal car crashes to submit to blood tests for alcohol and other drugs, finding the privacy interests of drivers did not outweigh the state's need to determine whether they were using alcohol or other drugs prior to fatal crashes. In 1999, she voted with a unanimous court to dismiss a sexual abuse suit against the Jehovah's Witnesses, because to hold the church responsible would require delving into matters of redemption and forgiveness, ''an inquiry that would require secular investigation of matters that are almost entirely ecclesiastical in nature.'' In 1999, she also authored an opinion finding voucher funding of religious schools unconstitutional. If the president really wants a Supreme Court justice who is female, as an outsider with a dollop of David Souter's New England pragmatism, Saufley is an interesting choice.
Myron Thompson, 63, is a district judge in Alabama. President Carter chose him in 1980 at the age of 33 in an effort to put a black judge on Alabama's federal trial court. Thompson's opinions on voting rights and on who has standing to bring lawsuits are regularly invoked by other courts. He's also the judge who was undaunted by Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore when Moore insisted on displaying a massive granite Ten Commandments monument in the courthouse. Thompson ruled that effort a violation of the constitutionally required separation between church and state. The religious right called for Thompson's impeachment, but the 11th Circuit repeatedly upheld his rulings. Like the stone monument, Moore was finally removed from Alabama's court.
Elizabeth Warren, 60, has spent most of her career in academia but has a flair for public service. Though she's a tenured professor at Harvard, where she specializes in bankruptcy law, she's best known as the chairwoman of the Congressional Oversight Panel. At the COP, she polices the Troubled Assets Relief Program's $700 billion bank bailout with a populist zeal. Time named Warren one of the 100 most influential people of 2009. Free-market advocates chastise Warren for her ardently pro-consumer politics. (Obama's proposed Consumer Financial Protection Agency, Warren's brainchild, particularly rankles the financial-services industry.) Though she has no experience on the bench, Warren's expertise in business law exceeds that of any justice on today's court.
"I'm convinced that no one grasps the true nature of our hard times better than Elizabeth Warren," Maxed Out director James Scurlock argued in The Big Money last year. Warren was raised in Oklahoma, the daughter of a janitor and a Sears employee. Unlike the vast majority of Supreme Court justices and potential nominees, she went to college and law school at non-Ivy League universities—the University of Houston and Rutgers Law. After co-authoring The Two Income Trap: Why Middle-Class Mothers and Fathers Are Going Broke with her daughter in 2003, Warren has appeared several times on Dr. Phil and other national programs. Her experience on Dr. Phil, she has said, nudged her focus from ivory-tower scholarship to more direct forms of public service. An appointment to the high court would jibe with this trajectory.
Carter G. Phillips, 57, keeps a low public profile, but he's among the most accomplished Supreme Court lawyers under consideration. In March, the National Law Journal named Phillips one of the decade's 40 most influential lawyers. Phillips has argued more than 60 cases before the high court. Like Justice Stevens, Phillips earned his law degree from Northwestern University. Early in his career, Phillips clerked for Seventh Circuit appellate judge Robert Sprecher and Supreme Court Chief Justice Warren E. Burger. During his three years as assistant to the solicitor general, Phillips argued nine Supreme Court cases on behalf of the federal government. Today, he's a corporate lawyer and the managing partner at D.C. firm Sidley Austin LLP.
Notable Cases: In the Supreme Court case FCC vs. Fox Television Stations, et al., Phillips defended broadcasters' right to air the "F- and S-words" during live telecasts. Phillips argued that Americans have become more tolerant the F-word, especially when used fleetingly, and don't exclusively associate it with sexual obscenity. The high court decided 5-4 against the broadcasters last April. Phillips also wrote a widely cited friend-of-the-court brief in favor of affirmative action, siding with the University of Michigan law school in the 2003 Supreme Court case Grutter v. Bollinger. The university won that case 5-4.
Sidney Thomas, 56, is a relatively unknown federal judge out of Montana whose name has surfaced as a possible long-shot Obama nominee. He earned his bachelors from Montana State University and his law degree from the University of Montana before going into private practice at a firm in Billings, which could satisfy critics who want to see a more geographically and educationally diverse court. He taught law at Rocky Mountain College for over a decade until he was nominated by Bill Clinton to his current seat on the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in 1995. He was confirmed without controversy in 1996 and has served there ever since.
The 9th Circuit is typically considered liberal, but Thomas' peers say Thomas doesn't fit the stereotype. His former law partner Bernard "Bud" Longo, a conservative Republican, said that he "wouldn't class Sid Thomas with the Ninth Circuit," adding that he doesn't think Thomas is "as rabid as that bunch." There's not much in his record that stands out, with the exception of the 2006 civil rights case Nadarajah v. Gonzales. Ahi Nadarajah was part of an ethnic minority in Sri Lanka and repeatedly tortured before seeking asylum in the U.S. Upon arrival, he was imprisoned and detained for four years. Thomas ruled that government cannot authorize indefinite detention and that Nadarajah's imprisonment was illegal.

NEW YORK -- Redskins coach Mike Shanahan spoke Monday with the NFL's director of officiating after the league said Sunday night's crew made an error on Washington's final drive.
The league said officials should have stopped play and eliminated confusion about the down and distance at the end of the Giants' 24-17 victory at Washington.
"I talked to Dean earlier today, he gave me a call and just went over the scenario," Shanahan said, referring to Dean Blandino, who oversees NFL officiating. "Obviously they made a mistake and you live with it."
With New York leading by seven points just after the two-minute warning, a catch by the Redskins' Pierre Garcon on second-and-5 was spotted short of a first down at the Washington 45. Referee Jeff Triplette signalled third down. But the head linesman, with the Redskins in a hurry-up offence, incorrectly motioned for the crew to advance the chains, which caused the down boxes to read first down.
"In this situation where there is obvious confusion as to the status of the down, that play should have been stopped prior to third down and the correct down communicated to both clubs," Blandino said Monday in a statement. "This should have occurred regardless of the fact that Washington had no timeouts and it was inside two minutes."
Only the referee can rule and signal a first down. The official nearest to the down markers and chain crew, the head linesman, is required to wait for that first-down signal from the referee before moving the chains. That did not happen at FedEx Field.
After Washington's incomplete pass on the next play -- which many Redskins believed was on first down -- the chains were moved back and the down boxes correctly reset to fourth down.
Blandino said instant replay review was not used on Garcon's catch because the replay official determined the ball was "correctly spotted short of the line to gain for a first down."
Shanahan was asked if he would be in favour of scrapping the chains and using laser technology to help spot the ball.
"You talk about it at the owners' meeting, kind of go through the variables, exactly how accurate it is and how it would be implemented," he said. "I think there's a lot of technology that you could possibly use, but before you do that you go through all the situations and find out if it's effective and how effective."
Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III said the confusion affected the play calling.
"The chain said first down, and then when we came back, we think it's second-and-10, and they're yelling out it's fourth down," Griffin said. "No explanation. No measurement. Didn't stop the clock to allow the chains to move back. And we just had to go ahead and call the play."
Griffin did complete a 6-yard pass to Garcon on fourth-and-1, but safety Will Hill stripped the ball. The Giants then ran out the clock.
"I told him I wanted a measurement because I knew it was close," Shanahan said, not specifying which official he was referring to. "It was inches. And he said, 'No, it's a first down.' And he moved the chains. And then after I saw it was fourth down, I asked him, 'You already told me it was first down.' He didn't say anything. So that was quite disappointing."
Speaking to a pool reporter Sunday night, Triplette said: "We signalled third down on the field. The stakes were moved incorrectly. After that play, we said it was still third down. We had signalled third down prior to the play starting. The stakes just got moved incorrectly."
Triplette defended not stopping play, saying it would have given an "unfair advantage." But Blandino said Monday that was the wrong decision.
Giants defensive end Justin Tuck, who played every snap, said he was aware it was not a first down.
"I remember turning to the referee and saying, 'That's not a first down,' " Tuck said Monday. " Obviously, they're hurrying up, you don't really have time to argue it.
"I think at the end of the day, it was actually the right call. It might not have come across in the right manner, but I think it was the right call. And when the ball is getting snapped that fast, it's very tough for a referee to get all of these calls right."
Take a look at the best available players heading into free agency March 11.

Thank you for visiting Wise Women . . . Now as we begin our third year. This website is a gathering place for older women who want to read, write, think and share what we've learned about life – so far. Here, you can express those opinions you've been holding close, tell your stories, share what life has taught you, and learn how other women are navigating relationships, life's hurdles – expected and unexpected – aging, changing, winning and losing.
The women in our photo gallery to your left are friends, supporters, advisors and writers.
As most of you know, I'm a Ari Seth Cohen fan. Each day I get a picture from Ari's Advanced Style blog of an older woman or man, usually a New Yorker, who's style is remarkable in some way. I often forward the day's picture to a friend, usually with a comment on what I think of the wearer's choice. Even when I nearly get nosebleed from one style note or another, I always applaud the wearer for not falling into the trap of thinking that aging means we lose our love of self-adornment. As we get older and watch our bodies and lifestyles change, there is no better time to take risks our self-consciousness or conservative bosses wouldn't let us take when we were young workers, homemakers or community activists. Imagine your school child's reaction if you showed up for a school event dressed in orange from head to toe: MOM!!! But now, who's to stop us? I've always liked wearing more than one necklace, an oddity that happened accidentally years ago when I couldn't decide between two necklaces, putting them both on and then forgetting to take off one of them. When I got to the the restaurant I popped into the bathroom, looked at myself in the mirror and decided I liked them both and kept them on. I don't always wear two necklaces, but when I do it makes me happy even if it puzzles others. So, if you thinking it's time to cull that closet and think about adding a piece or two to get ready for another spring and summer of being you, be bold and think about how much fun dressing yourself can be if you simply love the body you're in. If you feel you've never been creative in any particular way, there is no better canvas than your very own body. Enjoy. Smile. Be happy.
I'm exhausted. I just saw August: Osage County. What is it some of us love about dysfunctional families – except, of course, our own? I knew what I was in for because I'd seen the play with the marvelous Estelle Parsons as the mean-spirited Violet Weston, but the movie was claustrophobic in the way a stage play can never be. Of course, this feeling is helped by a hot, dark and brooding house that seems to tell its own story, almost as a backbeat to the dialogue. The opening scenes with Sam Shepard's beautiful, worn out face foretell the weariness that will overtake us all as we watch the truly horrid Violet – aptly named for missing only the n to tell us what she is – eviscerate every member of her family, and the smarmy boyfriend of one of her three hapless daughters.

Kaddish for Mom
My mother died and I am so surprised
that I am so surprised.
This singular event like no other,
except perhaps my own death or the death
of my children or grandchildren.
Mom's shiva candle will go out tonight.
Seven days since she died.
Where to put her picture?
It doesn't matter, nothing does,
except that dad died and then mom died
and I am no longer a daughter
of anyone in this world.
Gail Ostrow
Gail's mother died February 27th, 2007
It was a major personal breakthrough.
I'm the oldest of three girls born of the same parents and raised in the same Middle-of-America town. An adventurer by nature, I enjoy new ideas, different flavors, and meeting novel people. If there is an opportunity to learn, move forward with my life (and shed an old skin), or try out a different restaurant, I'm game.
For me, routine is fine so long as it isn't a rut, and my idea of being steadfast is modeled after an ice skater; Moving, leaping, running and twirling but in complete control of her center of gravity. I like stability in motion.

In my late twenties, I discovered French press coffee. I don't know exactly when or how, but it became a sort of obsession with me. Regular perked coffee, are you kidding me? That was for the uninitiated. I was a coffee connoisseur. I used what I thought were the best coffee beans; whole bean organic, hand roasted at a local coffee specialty shop.
When prepping my coffee at home, I would boil spring water, measure out and carefully grind my beans in my coffee grinder, pour the grinds which were not too fine into the clear glass and stainless steel French press, add one inch of hot water, wait one minute, fill the pot with within one inch of the top, wait six minutes, then press. Back then I drank my coffee with heavy cream, slightly warmed, with two teaspoons of organic granulated sugar. Ahhh, it was heavenly.
Fast forward more years …
Here is what Facebook is good for: virtual reunions. As with so many other things, we Baby Boomers seem to have co-opted FB from our offspring and turned it into our own little electronic meeting place in the "clouds." Thanks in large part to the work of two people from my high school graduating class, one who started the "reunion" page and one who seems to be working tirelessly to update it with nostalgic pictures from our yearbook scanned with his I-phone, we have spent the last week or so reuniting with people we haven't seen in the flesh in almost fifty years.
Fifty years! Is it possible? We were the graduating class of 1967 from Overbrook High School in Philadelphia, PA. If that name means anything to you, you might associate it with one of our younger graduates, Will Smith.
There's an old saying: "Want to make God laugh? Make plans." Boy, has that been true for me recently. I have spent the last 6 years in a job I do not love. I've always invested myself in my work. Even in the most menial jobs I've had in my life, my work mattered; I always managed to find something, some little thing, that lit a fire within me so that I would work through lunch, or come in early in order to stay with the project. Not this job: I arrived on time, took exactly one hour for lunch and left on time. No investment here. In addition, no one in my personal life even had my office phone number or email address. I kept the boundaries very clear! But I figured I would hang on until December of 2014 when I turn 66 and can claim full Social …

Schneier on SecurityA blog covering security and security technology. « Canadian "Guidelines for Identification and Authentication" | Main | Friday Squid Blogging: Greenland Squid Balls » October 27, 2006 Surveillance as Performance ArtHasan Elahi has been making his every movement public, after being detained by the FBI (and then cleared) when entering the country: For the next few months, every trip Elahi took, he'd call his FBI agent and give the routing, so he didn't get detained along the way. He realized, after a point -- why just tell the FBI -- why not tell everyone? This is extreme, but the level of surveillance is likely to be the norm. It won't be on a public website available to everyone, but it will be available to governments and corporations. Posted on October 27, 2006 at 12:49 PM • 26 Comments To receive these entries once a month by e-mail, sign up for the Crypto-Gram Newsletter. Commentshmmm • October 27, 2006 1:26 PM Actually, if he was reported as having had explosives in his locker, the initial reaction (by the FBI) is appropriate; however it should be fairly easy to show that there never were any there (if that was truly the case) at which point they should apologize, explain they were only doing their jobs and let him go on his way and provide transportation for any trip he missed while they justifiably but unecessarily detained him. Brandioch Conner • October 27, 2006 1:39 PM Very scary comment there. "He explains that the power dynamic of an FBI interview leads to a very human response - the desire for survival. Elahi says that he could have questioned the legality of the experience, hiring a lawyer but he realized that there was the possibility that any act of resistance could have gotten him sent to Guantanamo." When you are afraid to exercise your Rights, you don't have any Rights. Kerub • October 27, 2006 2:20 PM the reference is something between Roger O. Thornhill and George Kaplan in North By Northwest. Daniel Feldman • October 27, 2006 2:50 PM This is not a "perpetual alibi," because there's no guarantee Elahi's phone records his true location. Davi Ottenheimer • October 27, 2006 3:19 PM "altering as many photos as Elahi puts online would require a whole team trying to build this alternative path through the world" Bah, the next phase of image/video geolocation software is to assemble trips (virtual or real) just like this. The really impressive thing here is that Elahi has apparently built his own instead of using someone else's platform.... Incidentally, we should not under/overestimate the time it will take LEOs to transition to new viz formats. I once worked on systems meant to migrate surgeons from flat black and white images to lovely 3d fly-throughs. To the common person, the 3d images were awesome -- just like real life. To the surgeons, however, the 3d was next to useless for two reasons: antimedia • October 27, 2006 3:21 PM Bruce, I have to ask, do you seriously believe this? "This is extreme, but the level of surveillance is likely to be the norm. It won't be on a public website available to everyone, but it will be available to governments and corporations." Because if you do, you have no idea of how incompetent government agencies are or how little resources they have to do this sort of thing. It reminds me of the silly canard that Microsoft is collecting all the information about your computer. Do you have any idea how much storage space it would require and how many humans would have to be hired to sift through all that data just to figure out what YOU are doing? It's preposterous. The government might be able to keep track of hundreds, perhaps even thousands of peoples' every move. But 300 million? Not a snowball's chance in Hades. It's sill paranoia, plain and simple. And you accuse the government's (mostly useless) attempts at security as "fear-based"? Anonymous Coward • October 27, 2006 3:49 PM The government won't have to track your every move. You will. Ever use a camcorder? Think about wearing one. Every day. All day. And while you think on that, consider how much information the ECHELON system processes today. Think about that system in fifty years. This may not happen tomorrow...but I'm with Bruce...it will happen. Brad Lhotsky • October 27, 2006 4:21 PM All you have to do is have the new government issued IDs with RFID embedded. The state and local governments can easily incorporate a GPS enabled RFID scanner into the cars/equipment of law enforcement and public officials. Passing by such a scanner would record who, when, & where. That would at least be a start. It wouldn't be difficult if States started implementing RFID based driver's licenses. Those devices could use the cell bands to communicate data back to a collector of some sort. Actually, some civilians would volunteer to carry a device that "improved the security of America!", particularly if they got a $500 tax credit too! Not that it would matter as a number of states are already considering RFID based speed detection on major highways. Davi Ottenheimer • October 27, 2006 4:27 PM "it will happen" I'm not with either of you, it is already happening. I run into software developers all the time who are buildng real-time geolocation image and video management systems. But antimedia is right, that the ability of the government to use this data effectively is a whole other issue. Don't forget, 9/11 did not happen because the information was not available, but because of a complex bureaucracy made worse by extremists who hate sources of info other than those they control. I just heard from someone the other day who *still* believes evidence of WMD will show up some day to vindicate Bush's rush into Iraq. So I say systems for total awareness are already here. The more pressing question is whether the operators are intelligent or open-minded enough to use them within a rational/legal framework... "some friends have asked him to stop visiting" I liked this line because it reminds me friends who ask me to never type their address into the popular map/direction programs. Think of all the A to B correlations people are entering into the mapping software and whether anyone is mining that data. RG3 • October 27, 2006 4:45 PM @antimedia: It doesn't matter that a government can't track _everything_ about _everyone_. From an oppressive gov't's point of view, for example, the important thing is that you never know who is watching you and when. You then end up guarding yourself. quincunx • October 27, 2006 4:50 PM For those that fear the police state, keep in mind that the 'rulers' need the market means available to them for their crimes. Ergo, it would not be in their best interest to give their political opponents a method to reveal their own dirty secrets. Until we have a unilateral dictatorship (coming soon, if not here already with the Military Commission Act of 2006), we don't have to worry about a single thing. @antimedia "Because if you do, you have no idea of how incompetent government agencies are or how little resources they have to do this sort of thing." The is first absolutely correct, the latter is not. The government has plenty of resources that it can tap via taxation, borrowing, and money creation. Are you not aware of the enormous grants handed out to the states, corporations, and localities for various pork barrel privacy-invading projects? http://www.lewrockwell.com/higgs/higgs50.html To illustrate this even further, think about this: not a single tax dollar was spent on the Iraqi War. All done though foreign borrowing, and the printing press. It will take a little more time before the costs of the war are truly revealed to the consuming public. "It's preposterous. The government might be able to keep track of hundreds, perhaps even thousands of peoples' every move. But 300 million? Not a snowball's chance in Hades." You can be surprised what the gov can do! Considering the fact that the government, thoughtout the country's history has confiscated, expropriated, regulated out of profits, and generally nationalized various industries either all at once, or gradually, usually playing the 'emergency' ticket. The gov can force all the costs of compliance onto the relatively few corporations, passing the cost of compliance directly onto the consumer employee, and investor. Therefore the typically scenario the government can employ is to the have the subjects make their own shackles. Forcing all the costs onto the subjects, and violating their property, is the persistent MO of the government function. Therefore do not be surprised if it can nationalize the ISP industry or the WiFi industry, which for some reason the 'net neutrality' people don't seem to get that that is exactly what their efforts will lead to. wkwillis • October 27, 2006 5:53 PM You don't seem to understand the motivations of mean people. Wumpus • October 27, 2006 7:06 PM [from antimedia] Because if you do, you have no idea of how incompetent government agencies are or how little resources they have to do this sort of thing. It reminds me of the silly canard that Microsoft is collecting all the information about your computer. Do you have any idea how much storage space it would require and how many humans would have to be hired to sift through all that data just to figure out what YOU are doing? I think that enough posters have refuted part one. As for the "silly cannard", you hopefully have heard of data compression (don't learn crypto without it). While 5 Gigs of windows for every computer may seem hard for Redmond to store, presumably they only have to encode "stock XP Pro SP2, IE7.0.1.x, etc.", which would take less than 1k. As for the "how many humans to sift through the data", Google can already automate this. Microsoft wants to be able to as well. Wumpus Geoff Lane • October 28, 2006 5:17 AM I read a blog recently (though I can't remember where right now) in which the author said that if he were ever asked by the state to use his fingerprints to validate his identity by he would make sure that high definition images of his fingerprints were posted on the Internet -- and he would encourage everybody else to do the same. The point being, none of the biometric "identity" measures are in any way secret. Even iris images are public and are potentially recorded by any iris based identity check (or any eyeglass shop.) We shed DNA and leave fingerprints everywhere... Personal identity is a phantom, the closer you try to tie it down the less substantial it becomes. Using personal identity as a terrorist prevention/detection measure is doomed to failure for one very simple reason -- identity and intent are not in any manner related and to claim otherwise is at least misleading and at worst, racist. kashmarek • October 28, 2006 9:18 AM "This is extreme, but the level of surveillance is likely to be the norm. It won't be on a public website available to everyone, but it will be available to governments and corporations." And why the norm for corporations? Because this is the driving force behind all data collection, so the information can be used to market to you. But once that point is reached, the likelihood of you having any money to buy anything, is pretty small. another_bruce • October 28, 2006 10:39 AM think of the crimp this will place on adultery and other illicit sexual liaisons. mr. jones does **not** want the government (and potentially, his wife) watching and following along in real time as he steps out on her for some fancy bit o' young fluff. he's gonna game this somehow. the other Greg • October 28, 2006 7:01 PM Those who claim the blackhats are incompetent to track 300 million people are stupid. The blackhats have no need and no wish to do that. Perhaps they would like the timid to believe they can. What they can do and what they wish to do is, having chosen an incident or a person, examine the accumulated recordings, choosing incriminating records, losing exonerating records. Every police-riot everywhere in the world for the last decade or so has been accompanied by reports that organized squads scoured the battlefield seizing and destroying cameras. Sometimes they attacked massmedia, too. David Brin used to point out that ubiquitous records are not the problem. People who have nothing to hide truly do not bother to hide. You cannot hide anyway : if the 'security' cams don't remember you, the people with you will. The problems are that the people who can do the most damage can afford the most secrecy, and almost all your records are in the hands of those same people. Fenris Fox • October 29, 2006 12:25 AM I think a lot of you are taking this article way too seriously, deeply, and far. It's a satire - plain and simple. And IMO, a damned good satire. A new, less dark and Luddite-like way of looking at this surveillance stuff is sorely needed - and he found it. @the other Greg Every police-riot everywhere in the world for the last decade or so has been accompanied by reports that organized squads scoured the battlefield seizing and destroying cameras. Sometimes they attacked massmedia, too. Heh.. that's why camera phones - complete with MMS and mail-to-web services - are such an interesting innovation. Let them try to destroy those cameras.. by then, the photos will be live. Seriously, though, a lot of this stuff is in third-world countries and stuff (Tianamen Square, anyone?) - so what I mentioned wouldn't matter much. The pic might or might not make it to the Net (jamming, network censorware/censorservers).. but you know where the bullet would go. steven e streight aka vaspers the grate • October 29, 2006 2:14 AM But I thought you were going to talk about the avant guerilla theatre troupes who perform for surveillance cameras, an specially written skit or play, then vanish, and do one at some other camera. To think of the camera film auditors and inspectors seeing, rather than the occasional passers-by, a full narrative, or whatever it was, and not knowing what or why. steven e streight aka vaspers the grate • October 29, 2006 2:15 AM p.s. refer to Art Forum, net art, for more info on actual Surveillance Camera Theatre.

Re: When will Maroney sign?
I haven't heard much about the maroney situation in the press. this of course leads me to believe that he'll sign, at the latest by friday.
Re: When will Maroney sign?
I'm saying Friday, too. Selfish reasons. My first visit to camp is Saturday, and I want to see him in person.
BTW, sorry for the long absence. My PC has cooked. Stuck a fork in it and it is totally baked. Fried mother board (not bad with a little tartar sauce, though). And my status at work is different in the summer. No time to respond. |

What is the deprivation of liberty of Afghanistan?What is the deprivation of liberty of Afghanistan?
3 Answers | add yours
Under the Taliban, there was (and still is in some parts of the country) a great deal of deprivation of liberty in Afghanistan. The Taliban imposed theocratic rule on the country and deprived many people of various kinds of liberty.
For example, under the Taliban, recorded music was banned and people would have tapes taken away from them and destroyed. The Taliban also enforced their ideas of proper dress and grooming on people, punishing those men who did not wear beards or those women who did not dress modestly enough.
By taking these sorts of actions, the Taliban deprived people in Afghanistan of their liberty to act as they pleased.
Posted by pohnpei397 on March 8, 2011 at 5:11 PM (Answer #2)
Afghanistan has had a sad past. The Taliban is a very oppressive regime. The people have very few freedoms. The Taliban government is very harsh. The punishments for minor infractions, many of which we would not consider infractions, are severe.

Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the Montserrat and Cava Trail Small Group Day Trip from Barcelona. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
Very informative - nice pace and beautiful scenery. Both guides were very helpful and knowledgeable.
My husband, 18 year old daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our day to Montserrat and our stop at Codorniu.
Our tour guide Issi was very friendly and informative. We found that there was plenty of time to spend wandering around Montserrat and we were lucky enough to be there to hear the boys choir.
The guided tour of Codornui was interesting and enabled us to taste a couple of their signature cavas!
I would highly recommend this tour.
great trip freindly well run at a good price
Great trip...well worth the time!! The guide was great.
I booked the Monserrat/cava tour during our family trip to Barcelona. Our guide Anna was delightful! She gave us the background on the monastery, then made recommendations for some of the trails for our free time on the premises. The church was absolutely beautiful and we got to see the boys choir singing to the Black Madonna. The cava tour at Cordoniu was interesting and we got to taste 2 very good cavas at the end. We had a great day...all agreed it was the highlight of our week!
It's definitely a highly-recommended great trip! Special thanks to Lydia! She is so knowledgeable about Montserrat and wine history. She has been so kind and helpful during our trip!
Our guide Lydia was fabulous. She use to be a history teacher so her knowledge of Spain was profound. At the Montserrat, she gave us a tour and then plenty of time to go up to the top of the mountain to hike around (bring good walking shoes). After the montserrat, went to Codorniu cava vineyard. This was a very old vineyard that had a lot of historic tools of the trade and the guide Pepe was hilarious. I would recommend this tour because the cava after the beautiful montserrat made a nice ending to a fabulous day.
Our tour guide, Filippo was excellent. This tour occurred on All Saint's Day. Our first stop was changed. We were detoured to another winery as the Cava tour winery was closed. The Albet I Noya winery was a real treat. It's a beautiful winery built in 1920. No tourist, except our small group. We had a tour of the property with wine tasting at the conclusion. I met Senora Noya. a delightful and charming women who gave me dried chamomile leaves for tea. Then off to Montserrat. This 2000 foot mountain is known for the three Monasteries and the Basilica that houses the Black Virgin. The Black Virgin is a wood carving that was found in a cave in the 14th century. The reason she is black, is due to the fading and handling of the wood over the centuries. The Basilica and Virgin Mary were beautiful. The location is spectacular. This was a wonderful tour with a personable and knowledgable guide.
The tout is excellent and the tourtière guy is very knowledge and take care us very good, we are hightly recommend to other people.
Brilliant day trip, expert guide who was both entertaining and very knowledgeable and a small, manageable group. I definitely appreciated being in a smaller bus going up the hill to Montserrat!!
Cava tour was fantastic, and would definitely recommend doing the day trip if you want to get out of Barcelona and see a bit more of the countryside.
My husband and I traveled to Barcelona in early November, 2013. We booked this tour last minute and were lucky to get a reservation. We met our tour guide Jordi the morning of the trip along with our small group. Right from the beginningJordi went out of his way to make our day very special. We traveled in a comfortable van to Montserrat while Jordi and our group members enjoyed comfortable conversation sharing interesting facts about the region and culture of Catalonia. We arrived in Monsterrat and spent a few hours touring the area and enjoyed mass complimented by the boys choir in the Monesterrai. Jordi gave us a brief history about the Monesterrai and left us to enjoy the area on our own for the afternoon. After spending a few hours at Monsterrat we rejoined the group and left for the wine region. It was a short trip from there to the winery. The tour that we received was everything and more than expected. We had a well spoken young lady that detailed for us the history and process of this particular vineyard. It was a small to medium sized family owned and operated vineyard that had a very personal and intimate feel. Following the tour of the vineyard inside and out, including the cellar, cava, we were pleasantly surprised with a private room with a beautifully decorated tableclothed table filled with glasses of wine, cava and cheese and bread. The wine and cava tasting was enjoyed with great conversations had by all. My husband and I could not have asked for a better experience. It was everything we hoped for and more. Our tour guide Jordi made our day with his professionalism and friendliness and we thank him very much for making it so special. Eric and Loretta, NY

The tour was spendid. We enjoyed it very much.
We really enjoyed the tour .... our guide was terrific, knowledgable and friendly. We had enough free time at Montserrat, and Codorniu was very interesting. The weather wasn't the greatest, foggy on the mountain but we had a great day, Thank You!
Our guide, Feliciano, was great! Very knowledgeable, friendly and humorous. We had a group of 12 and I sure that all would say they had a wonderful time. Well worth the time and money!

The Toffees suffered a 1-0 defeat at Tottenham yesterday after dominating for large periods and Jagielka believes they are missing a presence in attack
Phil Jagielka claims Everton have slipped behind in the hunt for a Champions League spot because they are missing a fox in the box.
Everton sorely missed injured top scorer Romelu Lukaku in yesterday's defeat to top-four rivals Tottenham as they failed to convert their chances.
The defeat saw Roberto Martinez' men slip to sixth and they are five points behind fourth-placed Liverpool.
The Blues have brought Ivory Coast striker Lacina Traore in on loan to boost their firepower, but he has still to play after arriving with a hamstring injury.
Skipper Jagielka told the Liverpool Echo: "We're struggling a little bit at the moment.
"Lacina is not quite right yet and it's difficult because although we played some good stuff, we were perhaps missing that fox in the box or target man to get us the goal.
"It's frustrating and at least we should probably have kept a clean sheet and come away with 0-0, but we didn't.
"We didn't take our own chances and we were punished for it.
"It's going to be a little bit harder for us now. There are other teams in the mix for fourth.
"If we'd beaten Spurs we'd have pushed on a little bit, but there are still 13 games left and a lot of points to play for.
"I'm just so disappointed to have lost. We needed to get at least a draw because us and Spurs are competing for fourth.
"The next week will be very important now and we need to keep our confidence going, play like we did in the first half, and score the goals when we get the chances."

Memo Montenegro
Real Name
Guillermo Rodriguez
Date of Birth
June 26, 1988
Place of Birth
Since the two of them have worked matches on Monday Night Raw and Smackdown over the last couple of weeks, WWE was concerned about putting Sheamus and Christian into a match at Wrestlemania 30, so there are now people backstage who are pushing for them to be added to the Andre the Giant memorial battle royal instead.
March 12, 2014
Since Hulk Hogan and Undertaker were both scheduled for the show, WWE is quite surprised that viewership for Monday Night Raw has declined yet again. It comes as especially shocking since Wrestlemania 30 is right around the corner. The drop in numbers should force management to change up quite a bit of their plans going forward.
March 12, 2014
Initially, Luke Harper was scheduled to work a match against John Cena at Monday Night Raw. A new announcement was made shortly before the start of the show, and Erick Rowan was chosen as a replacement in the match. No word yet on why WWE made the switch. Harper might still get his match next week, as management wants to keep Bray Wyatt away from Cena before Wrestlemania 30.
March 11, 2014
On Monday Night Raw, WWE had a sea of fans surround Daniel Bryan in the ring, so that he can force Triple H into accepting his stipulations for Wrestlemania 30. While some of the people out there were actual fans, the majority of the Yes Movement members were backstage workers and parts of the catering crew. Management still wanted to keep things controlled.
March 11, 2014
While millions of fans rejoiced during Monday Night Raw when it was announced that Daniel Bryan would get the matches that he wanted at Wrestlemania 30, the decision was not made a long time ago. WWE decided to go with what the fans were rooting for because of the fact that the audience had completely turned on Randy Orton and Batista.
March 11, 2014
In a rather peculiar move, WWE removed the match featuring Roman Reigns, who is their rising star, Seth Rollins, Cody Rhodes and Goldust from the Hulu broadcast of Monday Night Raw this week. That comes as a surprise to many, as the Shield is viewed as one of the focal points on the show. It also surprised people that Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso were considered more of a priority this week.
March 11, 2014
Prior to making his appearance on Monday Night Raw to promote his new Need For Speed movie, Aaron Paul was warned by WWE about the potentially hostile crowd in Chicago hijacking the show to support CM Punk, whom the actor called "the guy that quit a few weeks ago". Management managed to avoid a possible embarrassing moment by controlling the audience.
March 11, 2014
Over the last couple of weeks, WWE has been trying to figure out how to get certain performers on the Wrestlemania 30 card, and it looks like the Andre the Giant Memorial battle royal, which was announced by Hulk Hogan on Monday Night Raw this week is the solution. Developmental wrestlers and lower card guys now have a chance to work the show.
March 11, 2014
While everyone already knows that Hulk Hogan has a big announcement tonight on Monday Night Raw, it has now been revealed that Undertaker will be making one himself. That has caused heavy speculations that he will be retiring at Wrestlemania 30. The rumor has been floating around for quite some time now as his body simply is giving out on him.
March 10, 2014
"Just finished Monday Night Raw. That was one hell of a booked show in that environment! Pacing of the show was perfect. Used the CM Punk heat to further all of their Wrestlemania 30 angles. Did a remarkable job sending Paul Heyman out first to get them to blow their biggest pop early and go from there." - Matt Morgan praises WWE for handling the hostile Chicago fans
March 10, 2014
While the company will never admit it publicly, it appears that they are completely done with Memo Montenegro, a former developmental wrestler who also happens to be the younger brother of Alberto Del Rio. Since his older brother is not expected to remain with WWE for long, Montenegro does not have much of a chance of making a return after he gains more experience.

Longtime Kanye West fans wouldn't be surprised to hear the larger-than-life rap maven throw around names like Dead Prez, Mos Def and Talib Kweli, but when 'Ye recently credited those three acts with helping him to perfect his writing technique, he surely piqued the interest of his newer flock of followers.
West will drop his much-anticipated Yeezus album on Tuesday, and to ramp up the LP's release, he granted a rare interview to The New York Times, revealing to them, "It wasn't until I hung out with Dead Prez and understood how to make, you know, raps with a message sound cool that I was able to just write 'All Falls Down' in 15 minutes."
It was a hell of a mention considering the first two songs that we've heard from Yeezus are titled "New Slaves" and "Black Skinhead." And when we spoke to Talib Kweli on Thursday (June 13), he told us the gesture was humbling. But the Brooklyn MC didn't exactly take all of the credit for teaching Kanye you could make big hits with real messages.
"When he talks about being able to write a song like 'All Falls Down' in 15 minutes [because of] hanging out with people like myself and Dead Prez, he's telling you more about himself than about us," Talib said. "He's telling you about his technique."
This isn't the first time Kanye has given props to Talib. Before the Chicago rapper officially signed with Jay-Z, it was Kweli who took West under his wing and brought the then-eager producer out on the road with him in the early 2000s, letting 'Ye perform his untested raps. "I brought him on the road because he was nasty, he was nice with it," Kweli explained. "Not only was he nice with it, he spent almost every waking moment practicing and trying to get better and looking for opinions on his music."
Kweli said there wasn't a specific moment or instance where Kanye tapped into his writing power; it was more that young Yeezy absorbed what was around, and at the time he happened to be around some of rap's most progressive and well-skilled MCs.
"He wakes up, he writes rhymes, he says the rhyme to whoever wants to listen and he keeps improving on it. He asks for advice, that's what he does," Kwe continued. "He always strives to be the best and to him it is about technique."

Metropole Suisse Hotel
Travel Blogs from Como
Milan/Como April 8-9 2007
Brian and I woke up nice and early on Easter Sunday to go to mass like good Catholic boys. Down the street from our hotel there was a big church that completely filled to the brim with devout Italians. The mass was in Italian of course so it was nearly impossible for us to understand but it was the fact that we went that counted. We said our …
Lake Como and Bellagio
When we left Milan, the north was shrouded in clouds - mist covered the city, we could not even see the Duomo, whose bells tolled sonorously. Taking the short trip north to Como was welcome relief, and the town was beautiful and sedate, dangling its fingers languidly in the vast expanse of Lake Como before it. We sidled down to the waterfront, and …
Off to Switzerland
... stop. Just as we got going...I got that all too familiar tickle on my leg and then up pops another HUGE spider; well I must have terrified Ernie because my legs ended up almost in his lap! Somehow I managed to put a cloth over it and chuck it out of the window...and still keep the cloth. Girls you would have been proud of me..! Good trip, we even managed to get the vignette without any problems. We are now ...
Nice to Milan,Italy
We woke up and walked down the street to have a pastry and coffee before leaving for the airport. We are looking forward to the Rick Steve's tour portion of the vacation. Flew to Rome and transferred to a flight to Milan. We made a quick visit to the Duomo (inside and top) and the nearby 1870's shopping galleria. We arrived during Milan's "Fashion Week". We saw red carpets at ...
Vercana and Lake Como
... Mt Nelson bends look lame! The mountains and lake create such a dramatic scene. As I write tonight, I'm sitting on a deck chair on the lawn looking down over Lake Como. Wow. Our last week will be spent in this holiday home above the village of Vercana, on the north west shore of Lake Como. Way above! It's the ground floor of a large 3 level family home, and has a magnificent view. Mum Manuela and dad Lauro and their two toddlers whose names we are yet to find out. The ...
Historical Traveler Reviews Metropole Suisse Hotel Como
Charming Hotel
Breathtaking views from this charming hotel. Excellent location allowed us easy access to everything we needed. Staff was knowledgable and very helpful. Great value for the price.
Great service and family hotel
had 5 days recently at this lake side hotel and the service daily from all of the staff excellent whch added to this unique location overlooking the lake.
not only was the hotal and staff friendly but also the catering staff and so with the good location for trains transport and the local shops and facilitie then this is a place to go not just in the summer but out of that season as we did. good base for exploring other areas and even wothout a csar the good value trains and buses make it good as well
As I say not a large hotel but a relatively small family facilty with the benefits that you would expect
Enjoyable Experience
A fantastic location overlooking the lake and close to the charming town. We stayed for a short break in beautiful late winter days and the hotel provided a great base for seeing this magnificent area. The hotel itself has undergone some renovation and was exceedingly good value.
The catering staff were excellent and went out of their way to be helpful and attentive.
DO NOT STAY HERE!!!! This is a dump.
I just returned a week ago from 2 weeks in Italy and this hotel was the worst!! It's rated as a 4 star hotel, and should be a 2 star. The rooms were tiny and very poorly furnished. Our bathroom did not have a shower, only a hand held shower wand in the tiniest bathtub you've ever seen...and not even a shower curtain around it. Taking a shower meant the floor was totally soaked and a real hazard. We had a "view" of an alley, and the rates were not cheap. Other guests that we chatted with over breakfast were also complaining and said they were going to write letters of complaint when they returned home. One of the comments heard several times, was that the people on the desk acted like you were bothering them if you asked a simple question. I've stayed in a Motel 6 that was more comfortable.
Good value
This hotel has a great location, right on the lake front and next to the main square, Piazza Cavour. Try booking through the consolidator website, www.supranational.com We saved 40% on the rate the hotel was asking. Rooms are rather dated but clean and reasonably spacious. Ask for a balcony - it's lovely to sit outside and watch the activity on the lake. For the price, this hotel is recommended.
Do Not Stay Here
While the hotel itself is nice, and location is great, I would not recommend this hotel. The maid and housekeeping staff are thieves. On Saturday, May 27, 2003, my spouse accidentally left a diamond and sapphire ring in the bathroom after a shower and getting dressed for the day. We discovered this after leaving the hotel for the day, and when we returned the ring was gone. Yes, it should have been either worn, or locked up in the safe, but it was accidentally left out in a rush to get to a scheduled tour departure. The staff and management did absolutely nothing to try to find the culprit of the crime, only blaming us for leaving the ring out on the bathroom counter. Other than that, the hotel was wonderful, but based upon this experience, I would not return to this facility.

Great recommendations in here. Orange Triad and AOR are in the premium class as far as multivitamins go.
I've recently started taking FIT Men by Fahrenheit Nutrition. It's got a nice increased dose of vitamin D plus some added goodies like Zeaxanthin

I can't get bp_get_profile_field_data() to work.
I've tried several different function like xprofile_get_field_data().
It just doesn't want to return a value.Is it because I'm using the function in a page using Exec-PHP?
I'm using WP3.0 and latest BP

Preheat oven to 350°F with the top rack in the center of the oven. Lightly grease a non-stick bundt pan; set aside.
In a saucepan, combine the California Olive Ranch Arbequina extra virgin olive oil, ginger root, molasses, Golden Syrup and brown sugar. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently until the sugar is melted and all the ingredients are well blended. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and sour cream. Set aside.
In standing mixer bowl, combine flours, salt, baking soda and spices. Blend on low for 30 seconds to evenly distribute the ingredients. Add the oil/sugar mixture and mix until the flour is incorporated. When batter gets thick and hard to stir, pour in egg/sour cream mixture. Beat until smooth; batter will be fairly thin.
Pour into prepared bundt pan. Place pan into center of preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes, then reduce the heat to 325°F and very carefully spin the pan so the back is facing the front of the oven. Continue baking until the top springs back when touched in the center and the sides pull away from the pan, about 20 minutes more.
Set pan on a wire rack to cool for 15 minutes. Invert cake onto wire rack and remove pan. Let cake cool at least until it is barely warm before slicing.
Chef's Note: Full of the flavors of the holidays, this gingerbread will bring back memories of your childhood delights. Don't be intimidated with the number of the spices. They balance well against the molasses, ginger and olive oil. The Hazelnut Meal/Flour adds a wonderful nutty flavor and protein. This cake is beautifully dense and improves with time so make it a day or two in advance if you like.
Well wrapped in plastic, this gingerbread will last about 4 days either at room temperature or refrigerated - unless you eat it all first. If refrigerated, it will absorb some of the moisture and will be denser and slightly chewy. The cake is best served at room temperature.
I like to serve it dusted with powdered sugar and a dollop of lightly sweetened whipped cream, flavored with either cinnamon or vanilla. For an extra special treat, serve with a scoop of high-quality vanilla ice cream drizzled with some of the California Olive Ranch Arbequina Extra Virgin olive oil.
