Future of Nursing Initiative
I have just finished reading an interesting report from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). The report entitled "Becoming a High Reliability Organization-Operational Advice for Hospital Leaders" was published by AHRQ in February 2008. It discusses 5 important concepts, which AHRQ believes are essential for any safety or quality improvement initiative to succeed:
1. Sensitivity to operations: constant awareness by leaders and staff of the state of systems and processes that affect patient care so that risks can be noted and prevented
2. Reluctance to simplify: avoiding overly simple explanations of failure to understand the true reasons why patients are placed at risk
3. Preoccupation with failure: viewing near misses as evidence of systems that should be improved to decrease potential harms to patients and not as proof that the system has effective safeguards
4. Deference to expertise: leaders and supervisors being willing to listen and respond to the insights of staff who know how processes work and the risks patients really face
5. Resilience: leaders and staff who are trained and prepared to know how to respond when system failures occur
This report struck me as a good place to begin for all organizations in beginning to answer one question on everyone's mind right now: how do we avoid financial ruin as a result of the fact that we will no longer be paid for care required because of a "never event"? Every day it seems that there is another newspaper or e-newsletter item discussing another health insurance provider that has followed the lead of the federal government and declared that it will no longer compensate institutions and providers for the care necessitated by medical errors. Although many may be quick to point to certain benchmarks or certification programs that can help with reducing never events, the approach discussed in this report struck me as going to the real heart of the matter: the corporate giving of care in a mindful way, relying on all available resources to do so, and without accepting the easy solution. I heartily recommend that you access the full report at http://www.AHRQ.gov to see how your organization can become a high-reliability organization.
This issue includes a continuing education unit feature discussing the issue of nurses refusing patient assignments and an informative article about pitfalls in the interviewing process. Our National Council of State Boards of Nursing column in this issue discusses fraudulent documents and licensure applications. As always, we would appreciate your comments and suggestions.

Swiftwater runs strong with a talented winemaker
The winery, at Suncadia Resort, has grown to 4,500 cases, and winemaker Linda Trotta crafts 14 different wines, including a delicious riesling.
Special to The Seattle Times
Swiftwater Cellars 2010 syrah, Columbia Valley, $35: This complex syrah is loaded with notes of blackberry, plum and boysenberry, along with hints of toast, white pepper and bacon. It's a perfect wine for grilled meats.
Swiftwater Cellars 2010 Proprietary Red, Columbia Valley, $50: This is Swiftwater's signature wine that is a blend heavy in cabernet sauvignon and saw all French oak. It is a rich red with aromas and flavors of black licorice, ripe purple and dark fruit.
Swiftwater Cellars 2012 No. 9 riesling, Columbia Valley, $18: Using Yakima Valley grapes, this riesling is loaded with aromas and flavors of tropical fruit, jasmine and pleasing Granny Smith apple peel. Enjoy with Chilean sea bass.
GROWING UP in an Italian family in Southern California, Linda Trotta didn't realize anyone could make a living producing wine.
"I made wine with my grandpa," she said. "I just figured everyone had a barrel in their garage."
That she decided to attend the University of California-Davis was fortuitous. She started out as a math major, "but a couple of quarters of calculus changed my mind."
She quickly transferred to the university's famed winemaking department, earned a degree in fermentation science and dived into the California wine scene. In 1989, she landed at Gundlach Bundschu Winery in the city of Sonoma, where she spent the next two decades earning a reputation as one of California's most talented winemakers.
Then she got an itch to move and landed in Washington at the new Swiftwater Cellars near the Cascade Mountains town of Roslyn, a long way from either the Columbia Valley's vineyards to the east or Seattle's population to the west.
"We're in the middle of the state and the middle of nowhere," she said.
But it is at Suncadia Resort surrounded by three golf courses, a restaurant, hotel and luxury condos.
Swiftwater is owned by the Watts family, which began farming in Eastern Washington in 1977. The Watts family sold its farming operation to Lamb-Weston in 2008, then started Swiftwater. Don Watts launched Swiftwater with the 2007 vintage, which was made by well-known Oregon winemaker Tony Rynders. When Trotta arrived, she finished the 2009 wines and has done everything since, except for an Oregon pinot noir that Rynders continues to craft.
Today, Swiftwater has grown to 4,500 cases, and Trotta crafts 14 different wines, including a delicious riesling.
"They didn't have a riesling when I started," Trotta said. "I told them I wasn't going to move to Washington and not make riesling!"
In addition to the winery and tasting room, Swiftwater also runs Hoist House, an on-site restaurant, and a 2,500-seat outdoor concert venue.
Trotta, who lives in Ellensburg, enjoys the new setting and change of pace from the often-hectic California wine scene.
"Everyone has been very helpful, very welcoming," she said. "I haven't met a grouchy person yet."

World Bulletin / News Desk
German Chancellor Angela Merkel will meet French President Francois Hollande on Wednesday ahead of a key European summit, his office said on Saturday, as the two leaders try to square their differing positions on the euro zone debt crisis.
"They will discuss the upcoming EU summit, the international situation and future Franco-German exchanges," the president's office said in a statement.
A spokesman for the German government told Reuters earlier on Saturday the meeting would take place.
The meeting comes on the eve of a summit that is being seen as a big moment for the embattled 17-nation euro zone which is struggling to formulate a credible response to a debt crisis that has shaken Greece and steeply pushed up borrowing costs for Spain and Italy.
The summit is meant to sketch out a roadmap towards economic union and to send a message to the markets that the continent's leaders are united and determined to do whatever it takes to restore confidence in the battered single currency.
But the pre-summit mood music has not been good.
A meeting in Rome on Friday saw Merkel and Hollande openly sparring over what needed to be done, with the French president and his Italian and Spanish counterparts failing to get Merkel to dilute her opposition to common euro zone bonds.
At the mini-summit, Merkel also resisted pressure to use Europe's rescue funds more flexibly, but did agree to a 130- billion-euro ($156 billion) package to revive growth.
However, Hollande made it clear he was impatient with Berlin's reluctance to go further, saying it should not take 10 years to create jointly underwritten euro bonds.
He wants the June 28-29 summit to agree on more than just a growth package before he is ready to ratify the bloc's fiscal pact, a French diplomatic source said on Friday.
Hollande also wants an EU-wide agreement on progress towards banking sector integration and other financial stability measures, the source said.
With the markets uneasy about the failure of the continent's leaders to put on a united front, Merkel and Hollande are likely to use Wednesday's meeting to try to narrow their differences in order to minimise the risk of another public split.
Nicolas Sarkozy, Hollande's predecessor, had a history of stitching up agendas and agreements with Merkel before such summits, but the socialist president and the German chancellor have so far not been able or willing to do the same.
Hollande is due to meet the head of the European Central Bank Mario Draghi and France's Central Bank Governor Christian Noyer on Monday.
PM Mahlab said that Egypt eyes sustainable growth to improve the living conditions of Egyptians, noting that the Egyptian economy is currently recovering.
The French economist calls for redistribution of global wealth, which he says is too concentrated in the hands of the few.

The shockingly downbeat report reinforced expectations Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will delay a sales tax hike, set for October next year, after a hike in the tax in April took a heavy toll on consumption.

American Tap Dance Foundation presented two performances last week—a retrospective production celebrating tap cabarets of the 1930s, and an all new show, with works by current tap greats. Highlights of the contemporary performance included Cartier Williams' soulful trio The Dark Tunnel, Michelle Dorrance's work in progress, We Came Here To Do One Thing, and Kazu Kumagai's Far Away from Home, a beautiful homage to Kumagai's hometown of Tohoku, Japan, set to shifting images of the community. The evening had a rather solemn tone—program notes described themes of self-reflection, insecurity, loss, devastation, and separation—though Max Pollak's Rumba Tap works provided a much needed upbeat interlude.
One of the best moments of the evening, however, wasn't part of the show at all: The realization that the choreographers and most of the performers are also teachers. They're not simply the best-of-the-best stuck on a proscenium stage, they're accessible and generous educators, leading weekly classes throughout New York City and workshops worldwide.
From top: Cartier Williams and John Manzani. You can find Williams on the faculty of Tap City this July.

Respect Life News
Respect Life Month – Program & ActivitiesSr. Lucy Marie : Thursday, September 25, 2014 3:43 pm
The 2014-2015 Respect Life Program, provided by the USCCB, is now available on our Respect Life Month page.
The Archdiocese of New York's Family Life/Respect Life Office provides a listing of parish activities in support of Respect Life Month. A complete listing of activities can also be downloaded by clicking here.
40 Days for Life — Join us!Sr. Lucy Marie : Tuesday, September 23, 2014 4:05 pm
Tomorrow begins the 40 Days for Life Campaign throughout the Archdiocese and nationwide. If you are not familiar with the Campaign I strongly encourage to take a look at their website and sign on http://40daysforlife.com/. A major component of the campaign is the power of fasting united with prayer and witness. If you are not able to be present at a location praying then I would urge you to be united in prayer and fasting with others who are out there. This is a great opportunity for the young (schools should consider taking their students to be part of this), young adults, middle aged and older and gifted adults to all be part of.
Don't miss out on the opportunity and the graces that you can be part of winning to aide in establishing a culture of life and to assist in the salvation of souls. I look forward to praying and witnessing with you — Sr. Shirley and I have already attended a wonderful kickoff meeting in Orange County and you'll see us out and about at other various sites in the upcoming weeks.

Your Dermatologist Likes Your Hair Wavy
According to the American Academy of Dermatologists, you should never set your flat iron to its highest heat. At their Summer Academy Meeting at the end of last month, dermatologist Paradi Mirmirani presented information on the potentially long-term damage caused by even the newest ceramic heat tools. Once you hear what actually happens to your strands when they come in contact with extreme heat, you might embrace your natural curls.
To find out, just read more.
The AAD says:
Temporary hair straightening using a flat iron is achieved by applying heated tongs to the length of the hair. This heat breaks and then reforms the hydrogen bonds in the inner core of the hair fiber. Dr. Mirmirani noted that while the goal of straightening is to alter the inner substance of the hair, the unwanted consequence may be damage to the outer protective cuticle, causing weathering, damage, and eventual hair breakage.
Hair weathering or damage is usually characterized by dry ends or flyaway hair. However, if breakage occurs, it can happen anywhere along the length of the hair and cause a shaggy or skimpy appearance to the hair. When this occurs, flat-iron users may use the device even more frequently to try to tame the broken or uneven appearance of their hair — which can lead to more damage.
What a vicious cycle! Mirmirani advises never to set the temperature above 347°F (175°C), or on low/medium and to use protective products. So while you don't need to give up all of your heat tools per se, at least be smart about the way you're using them.

GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) — John Edwards drove erratically in a borrowed black SUV down rural North Carolina roads, as his once-trusted aide tried to keep up. The former presidential contender pulled into a secluded dead-end road and beckoned for the aide, Andrew Young, to get in.
Young, testifying Wednesday at his longtime boss' corruption trial, noticed Edwards seemed nervous. Beads of sweat formed on his forehead even though the air conditioner was running.
Edwards confessed that life inside the nearby gated estate he shared with a cancer-stricken wife angered by his affair had become "a living hell." Young said Edwards then shocked him by denying any knowledge of $725,000 in secret checks from an elderly heiress used to buy his mistress' silence.
"I didn't know about these, did you?" Edwards asked, according to Young.
Worried he was being taped, Young lied and said no.
The August 2008 exchange, also recounted in Young's tell-all book about the Edwards scandal, reads as if pulled from a political thriller. It was Young's third straight day of testimony as the government sought to prove Edwards masterminded a scheme to use nearly $1 million from wealthy campaign donors to conceal his affair with Rielle Hunter from voters as he sought the White House. Edwards' attorney sought to point out inconsistencies in Young's testimony and other accounts of his story during cross-examination Wednesday.
Young had falsely claimed paternity of Edwards' daughter with Hunter as the politician dismissed the stories as "tabloid trash" while campaigning in Iowa and New Hampshire.
During the 2008 meeting in his car, Young told Edwards he had kept evidence of the cover-up, including voicemails, emails and an intimate tape made by the woman. He said he threatened to go public if Edwards' didn't come clean about the fact the baby was his.
"You can't hurt me, Andrew," Edwards told Young as he opened the door to get out, Young said. "You can't hurt me."
The former one-term U.S. senator from North Carolina has pleaded not guilty to six counts related to campaign finance violations. He faces up to 30 years in prison and $1.5 million in fines if convicted on all counts.
Edwards denies knowing about the secret money, much of which flowed into accounts controlled by Young and his wife, Cheri. Edwards' lawyers claim the Youngs siphoned off the bulk of the money to pay for their $1.5 million house near Chapel Hill.
Edwards has often stared directly at his former aide, seated about 25 feet away on the witness stand. Young has not once looked in Edwards' direction.
Young testified that when Edwards asked him in December 2007 to claim paternity, the candidate pledged to set the record straight after the baby was born.
Yet months passed with no call from Edwards, and Young said he and his wife had grown tired of sharing a house with the increasingly-demanding Hunter. Through an intermediary, Young demanded a face-to-face meeting with the senator, who was then in talks with Barack Obama's campaign about becoming the Democratic vice presidential nominee.
Edwards asked Young to keep the secret for longer at a June 18, 2008, meeting in a hotel room near Washington, Young testified. The men shouted and nearly came to blows before Edwards was able to calm Young down, the ex-aide testified.

Baltimore Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs indicated that he would be a game-time decision for Sunday's match up with the Redskins. The good news is that Suggs was able to get on the practice field today. I believe Suggs will play this week, but I can't imagine trying to play with a torn biceps muscle. It's going to affect how he takes on blocks and tackles.

Your Kids Aren't Learning Their Addition Facts? Try This…Part 4
So far if you have followed my previous posts, students will have learned their bonds of 10, their +1, +2, +9, +10, and adding one more to their bonds of 10 facts. Next, I like to focus my students' attention on learning their doubles. Most of the time students are already comfortable with their doubles up to 5+5 since they easily see these doubles on their fingers, on dice, and in other real world examples. At least when working with my intervention groups, this is the case. The doubles kids most often struggle with are 7+7, 8+8, and 9+9. When writing the doubles on the board, kids can easily see that the sums of double numbers turn out to be even numbers or the numbers that count by 2′s.
I also like to use videos and games to help kids remember their doubles. Here is one of the videos that I like to use.
This is only a preview of the video. The other part used to be free but is no longer free. The video costs $2.49 to download the 6-10 doubles, but is worth the purchase in my opinion.
After kids have learned their doubles, show them these doubles plus one more. Don't tell them that they are doubles plus one more, but let them see the pattern and tell you about them.
Allow the kids to notice the pattern in the doubles and doubles plus one and express to you how the numbers change when one is added. Kids will excitedly see the relationship between the double and how it goes up by one more. After discussing the patterns from the previous posts, students will more readily see this pattern and relationship. Then when using flashcards to follow up, students will sometimes think out loud about their strategy, and you will hear them thinking about the relationships they see to get to a new sum. When you hear this you know you have taught them well!

Your Kids Aren't Learning Their Addition Facts ? Try This…(Part 3)
Up to this point if you have been following my previous posts and tried them with your students, you're students will have learned their bonds of 10, +1 facts, +2 facts, +9 facts, and +10 facts. Now it is time to build on some of that foundational material that you have been working on with your students. With consistent review of what they have already learned students will be ready to move on to using their bonds of ten to find other sums. While allowing them to sit and think, show students these facts side by side and allow them to comment after a few minutes on what they notice. I like to use the Number Talks idea and have students sit and think for a while and when they notice something in the patterns to then respond with a thumbs up on their chest. This allows the other students to think without the over zealous arms dancing in the air with the correct answer. Here even if students say something that isn't quite what you are looking for, don't discourage their contributions. For example, if someone says that they all have 11′s respond by agreeing but asking for something more. You might ask, how are the facts on the left like the ones on the right? What are the only numbers changing? How much are they changing by? Only ask these questions if you don't get much response initially. Allow students time to think and study what you have written.

Your Kids Aren't Learning Addition Facts? Try This…(Part 2)
So, once the kids have learned the initial easy facts like I posted about before (+1, +10, and +9), I focus on getting them to learn their bonds of ten. Now since we had already learned the +1 and +9 facts, I focus on these foundational facts to help us build other facts later on. Most often kids know that 5 +5 makes 10 because they have 5 fingers on one hand and 5 fingers on the other hand to make 10 fingers. After we talk about these, I make them practice these other three facts over and over (4+6, 3 +7, and 2+8) by writing them and saying them. I don't let them participate in any other activities in my group time until they can tell me these three facts that make ten.
I give them these facts to practice for homework as well before we use them as a foundation for anything else because I want them to be solid in this.
Then I leave the bonds of ten facts for a little while to practice the +2 facts. These are easy. All the while we are recalling what makes 10 often (in review) to keep these facts fresh in their mind. After the kids see the number facts with the answers that are adding 2, I ask the students how they can always find the answer to a +2 fact easily. Sometimes I write the +1 facts right beside the +2 facts to prompt their thinking. Eventually they tell me that you just count 2 more numbers to get the sum/answer.
More to come…

Your Kids Aren't Learning Addition Facts? Try This…
I have taken on teaching some third graders addition facts as an intervention. When intervening with kids in any type of math, I never assume too much. I start at the very bottom and work up.
Once I went to a math professional development and the trainer was Melissa Conklin from Math Solutions. She said one thing that has stuck with me. Kids who are good at math see patterns. If this is the case, then why don't we present math in a way that kids can see patterns? But usually when we teach addition facts, it begins like this. Learn all your 1′s, then 2′s, then 3′s, then 4′s, then 5′s and so on. Kids see the number facts usually presented in order. There is no chance to think about the sums and why they turn out the way they do. So, I challenge you to begin teaching your students their addition facts like this…
Have students look at patterns in their ones. Don't place them in order. Go ahead and answer the problems so the conversation isn't about finding the answers.
Now before I present something like this on the board, I leave it there and make the kids sit quietly to find any patterns they might see. This shouldn't take long, but you never know if kids aren't seeing this simple fact. Interestingly enough, usually the students with lower test scores on state tests do not see the patterns readily. I must underline certain things after a while if I don't get the feedback I am looking for. For example, if students don't see the ones pattern above, I underline the addend added to 1 and the sum…I would underline the 6 and 7, the 8 and 9, the 3 and 4, and so on. Hopefully your students will say that when they add 1 that they are just counting up to the next number. I follow up with flashcards of adding ones in my group of five or six students.
Next, move onward to 10′s because there is a similar pattern that you hope children will see. Depending on your students, show them the 10′s pattern and let the kids observe for a few minutes, sit, and wait. I have the kids put their thumb on their chest like they do in the Number Talks videos. This lets me know they have found a pattern without them raising their hand distracting their neighbors who may still be thinking. Remember, write the equations out of order and write the sums.
After writing these on the board, lower students will say that they see 10′s in all of them. I ask for any other thoughts. Then someone will say that they see the one in front of the number that is being added to the 10. I ask for clarification and a student comes to the board to point a finger at the 1 in front of the sums. I further still get clarification about the one asking if this is really a one or one group of……oh! ten! Most have no difficulty after seeing the pattern.
Next, I bring out some of the hardest facts that students shudder at….dah…dah..dum(in suspense)–THE NINES!!! eeeeeek! But if you know a pattern are the nines really that hard? NO! ABSOLUTELY NOT!
When you place the numbers on the board write them like above where you pair the ten helping fact with the nine fact. Then allow kids to discuss what patterns they see. They will see a pattern that works for them. Underline the sums of the 10′s and 9′s facts to help students recognize that the nine's facts are one less than the 10′s facts. Students will use this strategy and maybe others when you use flash cards to help them become fluent.
That is all I have gotten to for now…more addition strategies to come.

A Back to School Story & Win a Giveaway!
A little back to school story and then I will give you info about the giveaway. I must say I am not typically an emotional eater, however this first three weeks back to school has led me to eat almost an entire container of Haagen Dazs Caramel and Cone ice cream in one sitting. Our school consolidated with another, and we moved into a new building. I have sorted and unpacked 50+ boxes of books and math manipulatives that were stacked as high as a human tower of Jenga. The space that I now have is about 1/6 of the size of the space that I moved from. We have some new staff members, completely new principals, and I have a new job description (but the same title). This has been a lot to take in.
One of the things I have found solace in besides ice cream is the familiar children's faces, and the not so familiar faces, too. I spend most of my mornings before school begins trying to learn students' names in the gym. One particular morning after asking for a name, I met "Darius". He was a large 4th grade boy with smiling eyes. He had on a red polo shirt.
I saw him later in the hallway and he said, "Do you remember my name?"
I thought for a moment and said, "Darius?"
He smiled and nodded. I told him he had to keep wearing a red shirt, so I could continue to remember his name. The next day I saw him sitting and eating breakfast. This time he had on a navy blue shirt.
I smiled and said, "Darius."
Then I inquired, " So what do I get? I remembered your name and you didn't even have a red shirt on."
He thought a moment and said with wide outstretched arms, "A hug?"
I said with a chuckle, "I'll take it!"
Sometimes all it takes is a caring soul to make your day !
Now about the giveaway!!!
Take a visit to the following link to win a giveaway. The giveaway will last until midnight Tuesday, and the winners will be announced Thursday in the Tech Thursday link. Just click the picture below to register to win.

Hand Sani Causing Dry Hands? Try This!
Does regular hand sanitizer cause you to have dry hands? Hand sani causes this problem to me especially in the winter. My hands get so dry and cracked. While you are out buying your gallons of hand sanitizer before school starts, you may want to hold off and try Zylast. I was recently introduced to this new hand sanitizer.
It lasts for 6 hours on your hands if you don't wash them within that time. I know all of you teachers don't have every moment to run to the bathroom to scrub your hands or even to put on hand sanitizer. Every little bit of germ protection helps!
When you put the sanitizer on, it is creamy like lotion or conditioner for your hair. Zylast has no fragrance, so it won't clash with your perfume!
A little dab will go a long way. In fact I probably squeezed a little too much out in the picture above. When you spread Zylast on, it feels creamy and is invisible when you rub it into your skin. SEE…
This is a great alternative to regular hand sanitizer and I will definitely be using it a LOT in the winter time when my hands get so dry!
The good news about Zylast is…
It reduces:
- · Illness outbreaks by 90%
- · Student illness by 38.9%
- · Teacher illness by 23%
It increases:
- · Student days by nearly 4 per year
- · Teacher days by 2 per year
A small bottle like I have costs $3.79 and an 8 oz. pump costs $11.28. To me buying an 8 oz. pump for my whole class seems steep because it would be used up quickly if you let children near the bottle. However, it may be something you consider using when it is winter time and there are a lot of sick children so that you can keep everyone healthy. I would purchase a bottle for myself just because my hands get so dry, and use it on occasion with my students. If your school has money to supply Zylast for each teacher, then I would definitely buy this for year around!
You can purchase Zylast here if you would like to order some. To help with the cost here is a 10% off coupon code! TBS10

Manchester United's worldwide Trophy Tour, delivered by DHL, returned to the Middle East with a trip to Dubai and Riyadh this week.
After stopping off in Doha, Qatar earlier this month, Dwight Yorke and the Barclays Premier League trophy visited New Delhi and Mumbai in India, before completing this leg of the tour in the UAE and Saudi Arabia.
Yorke took the league silverware to meet fans at Dubai's imposing Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world, posing for photos both at the bottom and top of the 830-foot skyscraper.
The United party then moved on to visit the Kingdom Centre, another impressive structure, in Riyadh, where fans were given the chance to meet Dwight and see the Premier League trophy up close. Employees of DHL also had the opportunity to meet the club legend and see the silverware during events hosted by the Reds' Trophy Tour partner.
Click the image above to see a selection of photos from Dubai and Riyadh.
The tour, which will have travelled 67,000 miles to more than 30 cities by the time it finishes later this year, takes a two-week break before heading to the USA.

Politics, current affairs and riffs and reflections on the news.
George Akerlof is becoming a household name. Well, sort of. The 2001 Nobel Prize Laureate for Economics, who teaches at Berkeley, was recently cited by Al Gore in his rousing speech to MoveOn at New York University.
Just a few days earlier, Akerlof had been quoted in the German magazine Der Spiegel condemning the Bush Administration as "the worst government the US has ever had in its more than 200 years of history." These words catapulted Akerlof to the top of Google for a few days but it's worth reading the full text of his illuminating interview with the German weekly for a look at how horrified another longtime member of the American establishment is at the extremism of the Bush Administration.
"This is not normal government policy," Akerlof says. "Now is the time for [American] people to engage in civil disobedience. I think it's time to protest as much as possible." When asked about the deficit, one of his many areas of professional expertise, Akerlof replied that with the current tax cuts, a realistic estimate would be in excess of six trillion, far more than the Administration is predicting.
So is the government just bad at doing the math? "The government is not really telling the truth to the American people...Past administrations from the time of Alexander Hamilton have, on the average, run responsible budgetary policies. What we have here is a form of looting."
Even in this summer of political circuses (think California recall), Fox News Network's lawsuit against comedian and author Al Franken may win the silly season award.
Lawyers for Fox argue that the network has trademarked "Fair and Balanced" to describe its news coverage and that Franken's use of that phrase in the title of his forthcoming book ("Lies and Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced look at the Right," due in stores next month--and now, thanks to Fox, certain to be a bestseller) would "blur and tarnish" those words.
Anyone who hasn't been living under a rock knows that Fox News (like the Bush Administration) is adept at saying one thing while doing another. (Its other motto, "We report, You decide," should be "We Distort, We Decide.") Fox is also a network filled with particularly shrill, mean-spirited and politically-motivated characters. Ironically, in their complaint against Franken, Rupert Murdoch's lawyers perfectly described Fox's leading personality and Franken-antagonist Bill O'Reilly, "...he appears to be shrill and unstable. His views lack any serious depth or insight."
For the legal view of this tempestuous trademark dispute, I sought the counsel of Peter Weiss--a widely respected trademark and human rights attorney. His suggestion: "Al Franken should countersue for damages under Section 11 of the US Code of Civil Procedure, charging abuse of the legal process." The downside though, Weiss added, is that "maybe he'll draw one of those new Bushie judges who haven't heard of the First Amendment."
On a lighter note, Weiss sent me his letter to Franken:
Dear Shrill and Unstable Al,
When I read today's New York Times story about Fox's idiotic suit to my daughter-in-law, her response was (A) "I love Al Franken" and (B) " 'fair and balanced' was the motto of the Congressional Research Service when I worked for it." That would have been about seven years ago; it may still be the case today. Either way, tell your lawyers.
Peter Weiss (semi-retired trademark lawyer)
Maybe it's the summer heat, but I thought I was hallucinating when I picked up Monday's Washington Post and read the headline, "Democrats Not Shying Away from Tax Talk."
It seems like common sense to me, but for decades Dems have shied away from the T-issue for fear of being called soft on tax increases. But it turns out that Democratic pollster Stan Greenberg has recent numbers suggesting that taxes can be a good issue for Democrats.
While voters still are likely to believe that Republicans have a more favorable position on taxes generally, they support Democratic efforts to close corporate loopholes and to make the tax system fairer.
If the issue is fairness, Democrats should have a field day. Take July 24, when the Republican's chief tax man, Representative Bill Thomas, introduced a budget-busting tax break for corporations. (It would reduce the top rate from 35 percent to 32 percent--and add a whopping $120 billion to the deficit over the next ten years.) Compare this to the Republicans' refusal to expand the child tax credit for low income families--a step whose ten-year cost of $3.5 billion seems paltry compared to the tax breaks being doled out to the super-rich.
In a recent survey, a majority of Americans (57 percent) say they want to move in "a significantly different direction" on the economy. What puzzles me is that Democratic stimulus programs, with few exceptions, have been uniformly tepid--focused more on targeted tax cuts than on necessary public spending.
What about the evidence that shows that voters see a more direct connection between government spending on streets, highways, bridges and school construction and the creation of jobs than the connection between tax cuts and job creation. As Jeff Madrick pointed out in a recent column in the New York Times business section, these are times that cry out for bold proposals from the Democrats. A bold--and sensible--new economic program, according to Madrick, would reject individual tax cuts and stress government spending that creates jobs.
A new program could include "adequate transfer of money to the states--as much as $100 billion. It could also include seriously financing the president's new education bill, which has been neglected...and innovative investment in transportation infrastructure." Given the dire state of the economy, what the nation needs is a jobs program. It might even be a winning ticket.
On the eve of the Clinton Impeachment hearings in 1998, The Sexuality Information and Education Council (SIECUS) sent out "Ten Tips for Talking about the Starr Report with Your Children."
"The upcoming impeachment hearing," SIECUS president Debra Haffner advised, "provides parents with a special opportunity to talk to their children about sexuality issues...The question parents need to ask is 'Who do I want to tell my children about this sad situation?' Another child on the playground? An acquaintance on the school bus? They are unlikely to tell your children the facts in a clear way. And only YOU can give YOUR children YOUR values."
It's now 2003 and if the events of these last weeks don't provide parents with that special opportunity to talk to their children about the president and values like truth, lies and consequences, then I don't know what does.
So, with all due credit to SIECUS, here are Tips for Talking about President Bush with Your Children:
*1) Think about your values as they relate to this situation. What are your family's values about telling the truth? What would you do if your child lied to you and when you scolded him or her, s/he replied: "I am not a fact-checker." Or added, "Isn't it time to move on?"
*2) Ask your children to tell you what words mean to them. Explain that words have consequences and lies can come in two, six or sixteen words.
*3) Clarify facts. Give short, age-appropriate answers. Explain that shifting strategies at damage control only lead to more unanswered questions. Make clear that even if facts are malleable for President Bush, they're not malleable in your home. Explain that even though the White House strategy may be to say whatever is necessary, even if they have to admit later that what they said the first time wasn't exactly true, you don't do it that way yourself.
*4) Use these talks with your child to encourage good decision-making. Let them know that if they grow up to become president and lead a nation into war, the right thing to do is take responsibility for their words and acts. (This is a good opportunity to explain what the saying, "The buck stops here" means.)
*5) Use television news as a springboard for discussion. However, do not let children younger than thirteen watch this coverage alone. It can be ugly and disturbing for children to watch the President and his aides scapegoat their subordinates with so little compunction.
*6) Help your children understand the larger issues. Let them know that it's not just about sixteen words. You could explain that there appears to be a pattern of dishonesty well beyond the uranium scandal that is extremely worrisome. Explain that the American people are entitled to the truth and they have a right to know if President Bush, Vice President Cheney or any White House officials misrepresented the facts to justify war.
*7) Keep the lines of communication open. Talk. Remember that this is not a one-time or a one-way discussion. Your children need your ongoing support in dealing with their President's tenuous relationship to the truth. Unfortunately, this sad situation is currently a fixed element of the political landscape they are growing up in.
A version of this weblog was published on the op-ed page of yesterday's Boston Globe.
Remember diplomat John Brady Kiesling's powerful resignation statement last February?
Kiesling, who was serving as political counselor at the US Embassy in Athens, played a noteworthy role in strengthening opposition to war against Iraq. His resignation letter to his boss Colin Powell, a searing indictment of Bush Administration policies, was published by the New York Times, and pasted into e-mails that flew around the US foreign policy establishment, the US press and the world.
A twenty-year veteran of the US Foreign Service, Kiesling is a charter member of the Coalition of the Rational, an embryonic idea to bring a broad, transpartisan group of concerned citizens together to mobilize Americans in informed opposition to the Bush Administration's undermining of US security in our name. (Click here for more on the Coalition.)
And read last week's riveting Washington Post portrait of Kiesling by veteran investigative reporter Bob Thompson in the newspaper's (undervalued) Sunday magazine for more on how and why the extremism of the Bush foreign-policy agenda drove Kiesling out of government. Kiesling also offers valuable insights into the current postwar disaster.
The chaos of postwar Iraq, Kiesling argues, was easily predictable, and there's no guarantee that what comes out of it will serve US interests. As Thompson writes, "the idea that the war will produce American-style democracy in the Middle East seems to him [Kiesling] the equivalent of dynamite fishing: You toss explosives in a pond and hope the right thing floats to the surface. As for Iraqi's elusive weapons of mass destruction, Kiesling says, even if they are found, it's now clear that the intelligence on which we based our attack was worthless. This is no small problem."
'If you're going to talk about preemption or preventive war,' Kiesling explains, 'you have to have some standard, some threshold of action.' If preemptors don't care about that, the precedent is 'terrifying.'"
Calling them "dangerously irresponsible," US District Judge Robert Blackburn last week sentenced three nuns to prison for up to three years for swinging a hammer at a Minuteman III nuclear missile silo and smearing their blood on it in the form of a cross. Prosecutors said the nuns, all close colleagues of the late peace activist Philip Berrigan, showed a blatant disregard for the law. The nuns argued that the Minuteman is a first-strike weapon prohibited by international law. Peace activists believe the felony convictions are unduly harsh and intended to have a chilling effect on other protestors.
Meanwhile, a few days before the nuns--members of the Sacred Earth Network, a national nuclear disarmament group--were sentenced, Secretary of Energy Spencer Abraham defended the Bush Administration's growing nuclear weapons programs in the Washington Post. Abraham cloaked the White House's decision to build new nuclear weapons in a haze of euphemism, alternately referring to these unprecedented new killing machines as "new challenges," "low-yield weapons," "advanced concepts" and "weapons concepts."
Nevertheless, even through the haze, it is clear that by reviving the nuclear arms race at home, the Administration's policy shift will dangerously undermine efforts to halt the proliferation of nuclear weapons around the world.
This is one more issue that, despite rational opposition across the political spectrum, the White House seems determined to ram down the country's throat. The American public is opposed to building new nuclear weapons. The military didn't even ask for them. Even, Rep. David L. Hobson,the Republican Chairman of the House Appropriations subcommittee on energy and water expressed concern that the Bush Administration is planning to spend tens of millions of dollars to build new nuclear weapons before there is even a need for them.
So, three Roman Catholic nuns, who want to rid the world of weapons of mass destruction, will report to prison for multi-year sentences on August 25th. Meanwhile, the Bush Administration is scrambling to launch a new global nuclear arms race. Who's "dangerously irresponsible"?
Sunday's front page Washington Post story about National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice is such a powerful indictment of her role in the runup to the Iraq war that for the sake of her country's credibility Rice should immediately resign.
The article by Mike Allen and Dana Milbank (a master exposer of Bush Administration lies) makes clear that Rice is either incompetent or a liar. Listen to Rep. Henry Waxman:
"If the national security adviser didn't understand the repeated State Department and CIA warnings about the uranium allegation, that's a frightening level of incompetence....It's even more serious if she knew and ignored the intelligence warnings and has deliberately misled our nation...In any case, it's hard to see why the President or the public will have confidence in her office."
Even sources described as "generally sympathetic" to Rice question her many shifting and contradictory statements regarding Iraq's alleged uranium purchase and the WMD (non)threat. Several former officials scoffed at the idea that Rice didn't have time to review the National Intelligence Estimate about an enemy on the eve of war. "It's implausible that the national security adviser would be too busy to pay attention to something that's going to come out of the President's mouth," said a former NSC official.
Each time the buck passes, another level of incompetence--or deceit--is exposed. It's a no-brainer that Rice should resign. But that's not enough. So far, President Bush, the man ultimately responsible for taking the nation to war, has refused to take responsibility for his words. The American people deserve the truth. We have a right to know if Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney or other White House officials manipulated intelligence to justify taking America to war. That's why we desperately need an independent commission to determine the veracity of other potentially suspect evidence used to convince Americans (and the world) that Iraq posed an imminent threat to our nation.

You know this is a tipping point moment when veteran Washington Post columnist David Broder, a barometer of conventional wisdom, writes that "the shadow of defeat" is crossing President Bush's "political horizon."
In a recent column Broder--the dean of American political punditry--offered a bleak picture of Bush's reelection chances. Why does this matter? Well, as Eric Alterman points out in his smart and timely book, "What Liberal Media," Broder is "revered by elite journalists for his alleged ability...to speak to what is understood to be the common sense 'middle ground' of American politics."
So, Beltway insiders take notice when Broder pontificates--in this case, he lays out the grim ramifications of AWOL WMDs, mounting casualties in a guerrilla war, and a rotten economy on Bush's reelection chances.
Could this signal that Bush's free ride is over? Let's hope that what one beltway reporter said of Broder still holds true: "There are those the rest of us seek out for guidance...This is particularly true in political journalism where one person stands out--David Broder."
Boondocks Fantasy
Everyday brings news of the collateral damage inflicted on our democracy and economy by this Administration's war without end. We're no longer on the threshold of building a permanent war economy, which will distort America's priorities at home and abroad--we've crossed the rubicon.
And this week we learn that the US military--with a budget larger than the next fifteen nations combined--may not have enough troops to meet the US's expanding global commitments. Shouldn't that soldier from the Third Infantry, who called for Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld's resignation, be honored instead of silenced?
If you fantasize, as I do, about what a sane and decent government, with humane priorities, could do for its citizens, check out a recent episode of Aaron McGruder's Boondocks strip:
Huey listens intently to a TV announcer:
"And in other news, President Bush announced sweeping changes in his administration's domestic policy today. Starting with quadrupling the amount of money spent on education and teacher pay raises...The additional money will come from a massive slashing of the defense budget combined with a complete elimination of corporate welfare programs. Following the changes to education, the President said he would break up media monopolies, guarantee health care to all citizens, and take critical steps to rescue the environment. 'These tasks are critically important to our future as Americans," said President Bush. "And I promise to get started immediately....." As Huey walks away from the TV in shock, Bush continues, "...Just as soon as the war on terror is brought to a triumphant conclusion.""Sigh," groans Huey.
If you're a Boondocks fan, like I am, watch for McGruder's forthcoming book, "The Right to be Hostile," with an introduction by Michael Moore.
Despite a boost from the killing of Saddam's two sons, George W looks increasingly vulnerable. As US deaths in Iraq mount, no weapons of mass destruction are found, the costs of unilateral occupation skyrocket, the stonewalling on the Africa uranium issue continues, and the June unemployment rate jumps to a nine-year high, Bush appears to be at an all-time low. Look at the latest Zogby poll, which shows Bush's approval at only 53 percent.
And if you want to know just how vulnerable Bush is, leave the beltway, turn off the talking heads, and listen to what people in Jessica Lynch's hometown had to say on the eve of Lynch's grand homecoming, in a segment on the Newshour with Brian Williams.
Helen Burns, restaurant manager in Palestine, West Virginia: "It's sad. I mean it's just almost sickening to--to think that our--our people is getting killed over there for nothing, as far as I'm concerned."
Thorn Roberts, a businessman: "Where is the light at the end of the tunnel in this situation? Remember, LBJ's remark about the light at the end of the tunnel in Vietnam. I sort of see the same about this."
Eva Clegg, retired state employee: "Now that they're coming out with things that they didn't have those nuclear weapons and all that, you just wonder if it's worth all that our boys are going through."
Emzy Ashby, businessman: "They keep hollering it's over with, but it will never be over with."
The Administration (and much of the media) sold a story spun to embellish Jessica Lynch's heroism. Selling postwar reality is proving to be a lot tougher. Listen to Lynch's neighbors.
Next time you hear the Bush Administration boast about the multinational support for its occupation of Iraq, remember the story of the Hungarian truck company. It turns out that the Hungarians, who offered to send a truck company to Iraq, have no trucks, or other equipment commonly associated with a military unit of this type. "They contribute 133 drivers, but no trucks, or mechanics, or anything else," a Defense Department official said. "Either somebody else is going to donate trucks, or they're going to be driving ours."
Maybe Hungary played a small role in the Bush Administration's recent change of course. What with the costs of the occupation running $1 billion a week, demoralized US soldiers facing what the military's new commander in Iraq calls a "classical guerrilla-type" war, and dozens of nations refusing to contribute troops or money without a UN mandate, Administration officials acknowledge they are rethinking their disastrous strategy.
On Saturday, it was reported that after spurning the United Nations in the run-up to war, the Administration may seek a UN resolution that could placate countries like India, Germany--even the reviled France. "The Administration has to give up its arrogant attitude toward foreign policy--it's my way or the highway--and bring in the international community," Senator Edward Kennedy said in a televised interview last week.
A shift away from unilateral US control has broad potential support. In a late June Knowledge Network Poll, 64 percent of Americans wanted the UN to take a leadership role in Iraq, up from 50 percent in April. And in a Washington Post-ABC News poll taken in mid-July, 52 percent considered the level of US casualties "unacceptable." (Several more US soldiers have been killed since.)
Having to return to the United Nations would be a humiliating defeat for the neocon extremists who were determined to wage war without international support. As Joseph Nye, Jr., Dean of the Kennedy School at Harvard, told the New York Times, "for some of them--in particular those who celebrated that we didn't use the UN--it will be painful." We can only hope.
