The Strategy that Dare Not Speak Its Name
As the past weeks of debate over action in Syria have shown, it's nearly impossible to discuss U.S. policy toward the Middle East without discussing Iran, and concerns over the possibility that it could obtain a nuclear weapon. Over the past three decades, the U.S. approach to the region has been, if not entirely defined by the tension between Americans and Islamic Republic, then strongly colored by it. For its part, Iran has, to a considerable extent, defined itself in opposition to the United States, the sponsor of the oppressive Shah who was overthrown in the 1979 revolution. A key foreign policy goal of the Islamic Republic is undermining and rolling back the U.S.'s influence in the neighborhood which it considers itself the natural hegemon of.
That bid for regional influence was given a generous boost by the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003, which removed Iran's bitterest foe, Saddam Hussein, whose invasion of Iran in 1980 sparked the massively destructive eight-year war that killed over a million people. The United States's creation of a post-Saddam Iraqi government significantly made up of Iran's friends and clients kicked off a years-long run of influence building that has only recently been turned back by the Arab awakening.
Brookings Institution scholar Ken Pollack, author of the new book Unthinkable: Iran, the Bomb, and American Strategy, may not have been one of the most aggressive advocates of the Iraq war, but he was arguably one of the most important. His analysis of the danger posed by Saddam Hussein in his 2002 book, The Threatening Storm: The Case for Invading Iraq, did a good deal more to bring skeptical liberals off the fence than the Strangelovean sneering of Dick Cheney or the re-heated Churchill-isms of the neocons. In the years since the Iraq war has near-universally come to be acknowledged as a mistake, Pollack's book has been cited—i.e. blamed—by numerous pro-war liberals who came to regret their support for it.
Pollack is clearly aware of his role, or at least his perceived role, as a key liberal advocate for the invasion. "In the past, my views have been misrepresented," he writes in the introduction to his new book. "I tried to write a balanced, nuanced book about Iraq in 2002, only to find it caricatured by people who read nothing but the subtitle—or cherry-picked lines from it." Seeking to avoid this, Pollack posts a crystal-clear summation of the book's argument right up front: The U.S. should try "a revamped version of the carrot-and-stick strategy," offering Iran greater inducements in exchange for concessions on its nuclear program while also considering new forms of pressure, such as supporting "indigenous Iranian opposition groups seeking to reform or even overthrow the Islamic Republic," to coerce those concessions. He writes that an Israeli strike on Iran "would serve no good purpose," but that there are reasonable arguments in favor of a U.S. military strike.
"However," Pollack concludes, "on the whole, I believe the costs and risks of containment are more acceptable than the costs and risks of starting down the path of war with Iran. I do not believe that the containment of Iran, including potentially a nuclear Iran, will be easy or painless, just preferable to the alternative." Anticipating the criticisms of such a strategy, Pollack stresses that containment "does not mean appeasement, or even acceptance of a nuclear Iran. Containment can take many shapes, some confrontational, some far more passive. One of the keys to making containment work will be determining how assertive or reserved to be at any time." In other words, it's incorrect to assume that containment will be an entirely non-military approach.
The book is arranged in two parts. The first, as Pollack described to me recently, is basically "three N.I.E.'s (National Intelligence Estimates, which express the collective assessments of the U.S. intelligence community) welded together." The first examines the Iranian leadership and how they think; the second examines the Iranian nuclear program; and the third considers the actual level of threat posed. Those seeking to analyze Iran, Pollack writes, need to familiarize themselves with two phrases: "I don't know" and "It depends." While this might seem at first like a cop-out, it rings quite true to anyone who's spent a bit of time attempting to understand the opaque inner-workings of the Islamic Republic. More importantly, it expresses a kind of analytical humility that is in desperately short supply in Washington, where a pose of world-weary certainty is more common. This sense of humility underpins the entire book: There's a lot we don't know, but based on the best evidence we have available, here's what I think. It strengthens Pollack's arguments more than bold assertions of fact ever could.
Addressing the arguments against containment, Pollack makes quick work of the claim—common among anti-Iran hawks, and a favorite of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's—that the religious ideology of Iran's leaders would cause them to trigger a nuclear apocalypse. "Whatever Iranian leaders may believe, there is nothing they have ever done that comports with this notion, whereas much that they have done runs against it," Pollack writes. Containing an Iran in possession of nuclear weapons will be difficult, but "the notion that they would use nuclear weapons unprovoked against the United States, Israel, or other U.S. allies in the region is not among those difficulties."
Taking on criticisms, mainly from the left, that Obama has not done enough to demonstrate American good faith to the Iranians, Pollack de-couples the two parts of this argument. First, on the question of public messaging, he shows that the administration has tried, both through its public diplomacy (such as Obama's Nowruz greetings, where he spoke directly to the people and the government of "the Islamic Republic of Iran") and at the negotiating table, to demonstrate to Iran that the United States does not seek its destruction and would like to lessen tensions. In this respect, the claim that Obama has simply continued the approach of the previous administration falls on its face. The second criticism is somewhat more apt, as Pollack recognizes: The United States and its partners in the P5+1 (the permanent five members of the UN Security Council plus Germany, authorized by the United Nations with handling negotiations) have not yet offered a package of incentives that Iran's leaders could plausibly present as a win, a necessity for any successful negotiation. We'll have to do better, he writes, than simply offering to stop hitting Iran with more sanctions if they comply. (Having gone to press before Iranian cleric Hassan Rohani won the presidency in a surprise upset, the book understandably gives somewhat short shrift to the possibilities of a diplomatic solution, while also making clear that this is by far the preferred outcome.)
Pollack pays the military option the respect of making the strongest possible case for it, in order to show why it's not the best option. The United States has the capacity to severely set back Iran's nuclear work, possibly for several years through air strikes, but at enormous risk. "There are several dynamics at work that make it fairly likely that air strikes against the Iranian nuclear program would be the start of a much larger U.S.-Iranian war," he writes, "one that could well push us into an invasion of Iran." (italics in original.)
The second part of the book, in which Pollack lays out the argument for containment, is titled "The Strategy That Dare Not Speak Its Name." It's in reference to the trial of Oscar Wilde, in which the line, from a poem by Wilde's young lover, Lord Alfred Douglas, was included in the evidence against him, leading to his conviction for gross indecency, i.e. homosexuality. It's cheekily overstated, but it makes an important point. Even if advocates of containment obviously don't endure half the persecution Wilde did for his sexual orientation, it's still the case that few will openly endorse the policy for fear of being tarred as an "appeaser" of America's enemies.
This is odd, as containment is, in fact, the strategy that the United States has been using against Iran for the last 30 years. "Containment is what Americans do when we can't have a good relationship with a country, and we don't want to go to war with them," Pollack told me. "Containment is not appeasement. Quite the contrary," he writes in the book. "The most basic way to understand a strategy of containment is that it seeks to prevent a hostile nation from causing harm to American interests and allies by 'containing' it within its borders until the structural flaws in its political system bring an end to the regime itself." In contrast to the way it's often caricatured, a strategy of containment would be aimed at demonstrating to Iran the costs of defiance. Importantly, it would keep alive the possibility of eventual U.S.-Iran rapprochement, while military strikes would almost certainly kill it for a generation or more.
And while we're on appeasement, it's worth considering what the dashboard saint of the hawks himself had to say about the dread word. "The word 'appeasement' is not popular, but appeasement has its place in all policy," Churchill said in 1950, as the Cold War was heating up. "Make sure you put it in the right place. Appease the weak, defy the strong." Later he said that, "appeasement from strength is magnanimous and noble and might be the surest and perhaps the only path to world peace." This is something to keep in mind when Winston is trotted out, as he surely will be, to oppose any nuclear deal, whatever its contours.
In this book, Pollack makes repeatedly clear that the United States is acting from a place of enormous strength vis a vis Iran. While the calls for military action against Iran seem to arise every few months here in Washington, and will undoubtedly do so again soon—even as Iran has undertaken the most serious and sustained diplomatic outreach effort in its history—Pollack has provided a useful briefing for anyone seeking to better understand what drives Iranian policy. Even more, he tackles the nature of the challenge the country poses to the United States. The book proves a valuable tool for pushing back on claims that containment is just a policy of surrender. In making the case here that containment is the worst possible strategy, except for all the others, Pollack has contributed to a smarter, more reality-based Iran policy debate.

Yes, by all means, let's listen to Ken Pollack, since he was so clearly in the right the last time. Just because he was one of the main cheerleaders for the useless waste of human life that was the Iraq invasion is no reason to think he suffers from poor judgement
Tue, 2013-09-24 07:27
Also his mendacity here is astonishing: he wasn't "misconstrued" by "liberals." He argued very forcefully that the invasion of iraq was necessary and could be accomplished relatively easily, and that we would be welcomed by the iraqis, and that we could establish a stable government there which would have beneficial effects on the Middle East at large. I heard give a talk at the council on Foreign relations in, it must have been l2002, where he laid this case out clearly.
People are wrong. it happens. But Pollack has never paid any price for his utterly disastrous advocacy and now he has the nerve to claim he was misunderstood?
Tue, 2013-09-24 11:22
Surely no one believes that the U.S.A will go to war rather than to allow Iran to develop nuclear weapons. If our strategy has been one of confrontation, that strategy is no longer credible. We must make the best deal that we can with the Iranians and attempt to influence them to moderate their imperialism as best we can without threats. If the Soviet Union could eventually implode, then the rule of mullahs in Iran will also do so, given time. Our country has no policy options remaining except conciliation.

Jonesville Police made two arrests Friday, Feb. 8.
Jesse Nicole Alexander, 18 of Ronda, was charged with misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia, simple possession, and resist obstruct delay, according to a Jonesville Police Department incident report.
John William Holbrook, 22, of Thurmond, was arrested and charged with having an outstanding warrant in Surry County for second degree trespassing, according to the incident report.
The arrests were made on Shaw Street in Jonesville. Police received a suspicious persons report near the construction area around the Jonesville Water Plant. According to Officer Michael Hutchens of the Jonesville Police Department, the area is a known drug use location.
"They go down next to the river behind the Water Plant to use their drugs and come back out," Hutchens said, adding that as they arrived the accused were coming back. "Where they are doing construction they had construction vehicles all over the place, and they had some kind of a pipe on the front of a lift and they (the accused) just happened to get trapped in there and couldn't get away."
Officer Hutchens assisted Officer Darron Pruitt in the arrest. According to the arrest report, Hutchens ran Holcomb's information and found that he had an outstanding warrant in Surry County for second degree trespass, the report said.
Upon discovering this, Hutchens placed Holbrook into custody and transported him to the Yadkin County Magistrates Office. There he received a $500 unsecured bond, according to the report.

Microsoft blasts PC makers: It's YOUR fault Windows 8 crash landed
Exclusive Microsoft blames PC makers for underwhelming Windows 8 sales over Christmas, The Register has learned. The software giant accused manufacturers of not building enough attractive Win 8-powered touchscreen tablets.
But the computer makers are fighting back: they claimed that if they'd followed Microsoft's hardware requirements and ramped up production, they'd have ended up building a lot of high-end expensive slabs that consumers didn't understand nor want.
The Reg has learned Microsoft provided clear and specific guidance on the hardware it wanted inside any machine running Windows 8 so as to show off and utilise the operating system's new capabilities, such as the touch-driven interface. Microsoft also gave its advice on the mix of high and low-end form-factors manufacturers should build, namely Ultrabooks, hybrids and simple laptops.
The Redmond giant had held a competition between competing computer makers, and the PCs it deemed the best were to be promoted under two labels: Hero PCs and Featured PCs. Microsoft wanted 10 Hero PCs to advertise globally and promised to pay retailers to display and promote 20 PCs on the Featured list.
However, the wheels came off that plan: Gartner said last week that during Q4 2012 Windows 8 didn't make a "significant impact" on PC shipments and other analysts said sales of Windows 8 are lagging Windows 7.
Now Microsoft is planning to reboot its launch of Windows 8 next month. On Tuesday the company gave 9 February as the date for the US and Canada unveiling of the Intel-powered Surface Pro tablets. But sources tell us Microsoft is actually preparing for a February "relaunch" of Windows 8.
The Windows Pro Surface was planned to emerge in January, 90 days after Windows 8 and ARM-powered Windows RT Surface devices went on sale. That has clearly slipped.
Our well-placed source said that bad sales combined with PC makers "ignoring" Microsoft's advice has left Redmond executives fuming.
"Microsoft is very frustrated with major OEMs who didn't build nearly enough touch systems and are now struggling to find parts and ramp up. Microsoft says they provided very specific guidance on what to build," our insider said.

Question: I would like to know what the difference between "straight-through," "chambered," and "conventional" mufflers is.

Answer: Great question. Conventional mufflers (above right) use a combination of bends, deflection walls, and packing materials to direct and absorb exhaust flow within the muffler body. This is the most restrictive type of muffler, but it offers the greatest reduction in exhaust sound.
Chambered mufflers utilize separated walls, set at angles, to create "chambers" that reflect sound waves and exhaust flow. While some chambered mufflers are less restrictive than their conventional counterparts, they also tend to be louder.
For maximum performance, straight-through mufflers work best. They don't restrict much exhaust flow and therefore produce little or no power-robbing backpressure. The downside is that they typically offer very little in the way of sound control. Most straight-through mufflers use packing material around a perforated tube in an attempt to muffle the sound. This design tends to trap high-frequency tones while intensifying other ones.
One company, Corsa Performance Exhausts, uses a patented sound-canceling technology (called "Reflective Sound Cancellation," or RSC) in its straight-through mufflers (below right) to eliminate drone without creating any additional backpressure. This design helps Corsa mufflers provide an aggressive exhaust note under heavy acceleration while keeping noise to a minimum during normal driving.
Question: I saw your recent article about the C5 column-lock recall ("Going in Circles," Aug. '08). When I contacted my dealer's service department, however, they knew nothing about it. My Corvette had been working fine until last week, when the column lock failed. Now it doesn't lock at all. Should I try to get GM to do the recall, or just get a column-lock simulator and do the job myself?
Via the Internet
Answer:I feel your frustration, but I assure you that the recall-specifically, Recall Bulletin No. 04006C-does exist. (You can even view it yourself, by visiting www.wscc.ws/Clo%20Lock%20Recall.pdf.) If you can get your dealer to perform the work, I would recommend doing so.
As we mentioned in the article, the Corvette models affected by the 04006C electronic-column-lock recall include the following:
* 1997-2004 Corvette equipped with a manual transmission
* 1997-2000 Corvette equipped with an automatic transmission
* 2001-2004 Corvette equipped with an automatic transmission (European export only)
Question: I'm looking for the perfect gift for my spouse, who loves driving and racing his Corvette. What would you recommend?SamanthaVia the Internet
Answer: How about satisfying both loves at once? The Bondurant High Performance Driving School (www.bondurant.com) in Phoenix, Arizona, offers a variety of performance-oriented driving courses, including a four-day Grand Prix Road Racing program that combines race-prepared C6 Corvettes with the open-wheel excitement of Formula racing cars.
All courses take place on Bondurant's purpose-built facility, which utilizes more than 200 GM vehicles and boasts a 1.6-mile road-race course. The school also has a skills pad, where students can practice an accident-avoidance simulator, brake-and-turn exercises, a slalom course, and skid-car training. Even if you never plan to go racing, a class at Bondurant will make you a better, safer driver.

American Idol
Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj Feud Promoted in New American Idol Commercial (VIDEO)
Much ado has been made of the profanity-laced feud between diva judges Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj that took place during auditions in October.
But instead of acting as though the two musical phenoms have extended the proverbial olive branch, American Idol is now embracing the feud and touting it in the show's latest promo. Still wondering whether the rumors of their fight being staged are true? After watching this clip, we're not sure what to believe!
All we know is, if looks really can kill, both judges would be six feet under. There undoubtedly will be no shortage of "exchanges" between Mariah and Nicki once this highly anticipated new season begins.

The LA Galaxy picked up a 3-0 victory in their inaugural "White vs. Blue" match at StubHub Center against their USL PRO counterparts LA Galaxy II.
LA is now 5-1-1 this preseason.
Check a photo gallery provided by LAGalaxy.com is below.
We've been discussing the LA Galaxy's rivalry with Club Tijuana in a number of different ways, but now, we get serious.
For our latest "Road to Morocco" piece, I compare the tacos from famed Tijuana hotspot Tacos Salceados and Los Angeles' famous Guisados.
Just be warned, my verdict may shock you.
Check my review below and remember to check out Tacos Salceados and Guisados for yourself.
LA Galaxy captain Robbie Keane is on the mend and with the MLS regular season fast approaching, he will not be participating in Ireland's upcoming match against Serbia.
The Ireland captain was left off the roster by head coach Martin O'Neill ahead of the March 5 match in Dublin against Serbia.
In their release, the Ireland Football Association states that O'Neill has spoken with Keane and omitted the striker so that he may focus on the Galaxy's season opener against Real Salt Lake on March 8.
CARSON, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy have added yet another Homegrown Player.
On Thursday, LA announced the signing of 19-year-old Raul Mendiola who becomes the seventh Galaxy Academy signing in club history. A three-time Developmental Academy Starting XI, Mendiola won back-to-back U-16 Development Academy Player of the Year awards in the 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 season. Mendiola has been a regular with the Galaxy reserves since 2012.
"It's been a long journey and I thank everyone that supported me on the way," Mendiola told LA Galaxy Insider. "This is just the beginning and I know that I still have to work but I'm excited to get to this point and be part of this team."
The LA Galaxy's in-stadium rivals C.D. Chivas USA are getting a new name and a new owner.
On Thursday, MLS announced that the league had purchased Chivas USA from Jorge Vergara and Angelica Fuentes effective immediately. According to the league release, the team will play the 2014 season as Chivas USA, but will operate under a new name and new logo in 2015 in connection with new ownership. The release goes on to state that MLS is intent on keeping the team in Los Angeles in a new stadium and has already spoken to several ownership groups with the hopes of announcing an owner by the end of the year.
"We thank Jorge Vergara and Angelica Fuentes for their significant commitment to Major League Soccer," MLS Commissioner Don Garber said in a statement. "Jorge was an early believer in the league and he and Angelica have been great partners in MLS. "We collectively agreed that it is best to sell the club to new owners who are committed to securing a new stadium and providing MLS with a strong rival for the LA Galaxy."
Said Vergara, the owner of Mexican giant C.D. Guadalajara, in the statement "When Angelica and I gained full operational control of the team for the first time 15 months ago, we were hopeful we would be able to turn it around. However, there is only one Chivas de Guadalajara, and we have realized that it will require more time, further resources, and a level of commitment that would divert too much of our focus from our other business interests. We explored opportunities to sell to other groups, but we believe selling the franchise to MLS on an expedited basis is in the best interests of all parties, including the team's players and its dedicated fans. MLS has assured us they are committed to keeping the club in Los Angeles and finding the right owners to make the team successful in the future. We greatly appreciate the leadership and collaboration of Don Garber and his colleagues at MLS, which resulted in an efficient transaction that benefits all the parties involved."
Chime in on your thoughts on the news. Where will Chivas USA move to? What will they be called in 2015?

CARSON, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy announced on Thursday that they have signed their latest Homegrown Player, Bradford Jamieson IV.
A Los Angeles native from Culver City, Jamieson is a former U.S. youth international and NSCAA All-American who has scored three goals in 11 appearances for the Galaxy U-18 side during the 2013-14 U.S. Soccer Developmental Academy season. Prior to signing with the Galaxy, the 17-year-old had committed to the University of California, Berkeley.
"We are thrilled to add Bradford Jamieson IV to our roster and continue our tradition of signing local players to the Galaxy," LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena said in a club statement. "Bradford is a talented forward who will continue to develop and grow as a player within our system."
My conversation with Jamieson for LAGalaxy.com is below.
CARSON, Calif. – Todd Dunivant and Robbie Rogers have been largely absent from the LA Galaxy lineup this preseason, but both are expected to be back training next week.
Head coach Bruce Arena told reporters following the Galaxy's 2-0 scrimmage victory over UCLA on Wednesday that Dunivant is unlikely to appear in Saturday's "White vs. Blue" Game against LA Galaxy II, but is expected to return to training next week. Dunivant has yet to appear in a match this preseason.
Arena also revealed that Rogers, who suffered an ankle injury earlier this month, is likely to return to the practice field at some point next week.
While Dunivant and Rogers are still on the mend, third-year defender Tommy Meyer made his preseason debut with 30 minute shift on Wednesday. Meyer had been sidelined for much of the preseason due to a groin injury.
"He's a got a long way to go," said Arena. "He only played 30 minutes today and he has been out awhile. He's just starting to get back into it."
CARSON, Calif. –The LA Galaxy have their captain back.
Galaxy captain Robbie Keane scored a goal and played 45 minutes in the second half of LA's 2-0 victory over UCLA in a closed-door scrimmage at StubHub Center on Wednesday. In my piece for LAGalaxy.com, Keane and the rest of the Galaxy give a positive assessment of the Irishman's performance which included a penalty kick goal in the 62nd minute.
Among those impressed was new signing Rob Friend, who started the opening 45 minutes of LA's victory over UCLA.
"Adding him just doubled our team," said Friend. "This was the first time that I saw him in a game, and I'm excited to play with him. He brings so much to the team offensively and we need a guy who is combining and providing the last pass. As a striker, it's a dream to play with a guy like that."
View Keane's goal below.
Jose Villarreal is on the move again, this time to Liga de Ascenso club Cruz Azul Hidalgo.
Cruz Azul announced on Monday that it will send Villarreal and former San Jose Earthquakes midfielder Rafael Baca to the Mexican second division side for the duration of the 2014 Clausura Tournament.
Villarreal had made just two appearances for the team's Under-20 side in recent weeks after suffering a leg injury that prevented him from suiting up for La Maquina (The Machine) immediately after his year-long loan deal was announced. The length of the 20-year-old forward's loan means that if he is able to impress his coaches in the second division then it is conceivable that he'd rejoin the first team upon the start of the 2014 Apertura Tournament this summer.
Currently, Cruz Azul Hidalgo has 11 points after seven matches this season and are tied for third place in the Liga de Ascenso with Lobos BUAP. The Hidalgo-based club is also still alive in the Copa MX and takes on C.F. Monterrey on Wednesday.
LA Galaxy center back Omar Gonzalez spoke to Fox Sports 1's Crowd Goes Wild to discuss the MLS season on Monday as part of the league's Media and Marketing tour.
Gonzalez was joined on the program by fellow U.S. internationals Kyle Beckerman (Real Salt Lake) and Matt Besler (Sporting Kansas City).

History of Congress and the Capitol
This is the story of one of the world's great experiments in government by the people.
For more than two centuries, a new Congress has convened every two years following elections that determine all the seats in the House and one-third of those in the Senate. While the individuals change, the institution has endured-through civil and world wars, waves of immigration and great migrations, and continuous social and technological change.
Most Americans greeted the 20th century with optimism. The early decades saw economic growth and the expansion of democracy as women gained the vote. But two world wars, the Great Depression, and the nuclear age later tested such confidence.
Confronting Crises at Home and Abroad
World War I and the Great Depression presented new challenges to America, and to the Senate. To deal with these crises, Presidents Woodrow Wilson and Franklin D. Roosevelt demanded more authority—which shook the balance of power between the branches. What was the Senate's proper role?
Members debated giving too much power—or too little—to the president in times of national crisis. In 1941, the attack on Pearl Harbor temporarily ended this debate in favor of the president. The national unity of World War II also helped forge a bipartisan foreign policy.
Limiting Debate, Flexing its Muscle
To hasten a decision on entering World War I, the Senate for the first time reined in its tradition of unlimited debate. After the war, the Senate—disagreeing bitterly with President Woodrow Wilson—rejected the Treaty of Versailles and League of Nations that Wilson had helped negotiate. As the issues confronting the Senate grew in number and complexity, members for the first time elected formal party floor leaders to manage the chamber's legislative agenda. In this era, Senate committees expanded their investigations of actions by the executive branch, climaxing with a World War II inquiry into how money is spent for national defense. Later, senators explored how best to strengthen Congress against the continued increase in presidential power.
Louis D. Brandeis—called the "People's Lawyer"— had built a national reputation by fighting monopolies and defending consumers. He also was the first person of Jewish descent nominated to the Supreme Court. In the furious 1916 confirmation battle, opponents of the controversial lawyer, some veiling their anti-Semitism, called Brandeis a dangerous radical lacking judicial temperament.
The Senate Judiciary Committee held unprecedented public hearings on the Brandeis nomination. Prominent witnesses assailed Brandeis as unfit to serve. President Woodrow Wilson staunchly defended his nominee as "a friend of all just men and a lover of the right." The Senate ultimately confirmed Brandeis by a vote of 47–22. During his 23 years on the bench, Louis Brandeis earned a place as one of the Supreme Court's most respected and influential members.
"... a friend of all just men and a lover of the right."
—President Woodrow Wilson, describing Louis D. Brandeis, May 5, 1916
President Woodrow Wilson sailed to Europe to negotiate the Treaty of Versailles, setting peace terms concluding World War I and establishing the League of Nations. He failed to make peace with opponents back home. The Senate, exercising its constitutional duty to provide "advice and consent," twice rejected the treaty.
The Democratic president had not consulted key lawmakers in the Republican-controlled Senate—particularly Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts, the powerful Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee. Senator Lodge offered 14 amendments to Wilson's treaty. The president refused to compromise. Instead, Wilson embarked on a national speaking tour to win public support. While traveling, however, he suffered a physical collapse, which led to a paralyzing stroke. Without Wilson's leadership, the treaty went down to defeat in the Senate, and America never joined the League of Nations.
The crisis of the Great Depression demanded action. During his 1932 presidential campaign, Franklin D. Roosevelt advised: "Take a method and try it. If it fails . . . try another. But above all, try something." When Congress convened on March 9, 1933, it joined President Roosevelt in a flurry of legislation to restore America's confidence and prosperity.
On the first day, Congress passed, and the president signed, emergency banking relief. In the weeks ahead, senators and representatives approved bills creating public-works jobs, insuring bank deposits, refinancing home and farm mortgages, reorganizing railroads, stabilizing prices and wages, establishing power plants and flood control projects, and helping farmers sell surplus crops. The session lasted 100 days—a creative burst of energy that initiated economic recovery and established a more activist role for the federal government.
"Take a method and try it. If it fails ... try another. But above all, try something."
— President Franklin D. Roosevelt, May 22, 1932
National defense was critical on the eve of World War II. Congress worried about possible waste and mismanagement in military preparations, and wanted to ensure that defense dollars were spent wisely. Senator Harry Truman of Missouri chaired a Special Committee to Investigate the National Defense Program (popularly called the Truman Committee).
Truman Committee hearings exposed abuses while encouraging industry, labor, and government to cooperate. Though scrutinizing military matters, the committee avoided interfering in military strategy. Truman's tireless investigations won praise for improving defense production and saving millions of dollars. They also won Truman national attention—and the 1944 Democratic nomination as vice president. Truman became president in 1945, after Franklin D. Roosevelt's death. His committee, meanwhile, continued after the war as the Senate's Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations.
"Everyone connected with the national-defense program should have a patriotic interest in seeing that it is properly carried out."
— Senator Harry Truman of Missouri, February 10, 1941

I have to think that it is only a matter of time until the UFC calls Melendez up to the big show and it has been said that the weight cut for Aldo has been getting difficult. That would make a great first fight for both of them. If it were to happen who would take it? I say Melendez in a fight of the year candidate.

Paul Robichaux
Exchange Server
United States
"The award itself adds a nice dash of credibility with customers, but the biggest benefit has been the broad exposure to product teams at Microsoft and other MVPs. That cross-pollination is irreplaceable," says Paul Robichaux, who has been an Exchange Server MVP since 2002.
Paul describes himself as a "professional explainer" and currently works as a content author for
, a company specializing in the creation of digital tutors. "That's a short way to encapsulate all the different writing, teaching, and consulting work that I do." Paul also devotes his time as a senior contributing editor for the
Windows IT Pro
magazine, as a published author, and an Exchange and Lync consultant.
"Exchange Server is super powerful, but there's a lot to know to use it effectively. I was awarded as an MVP because I was so enthusiastic about spreading knowledge on how to get the most out of Exchange," comments Robichaux, who has been awarded as an MVP for the last 10 years and has secondary specializations in Lync and enterprise security.
When asked about key projects and memories during his decade as an MVP, Paul replies, "Wow, there are too many to count—having beignets with the Exchange MVPs at
Café du Monde
in the French Quarter (in New Orleans), watching Rajesh Jha, CVP of Exchange, be pelted with tough questions at Summit, and getting early insight into where the Exchange, Windows, and Office product lines are going would probably be my top three."
Robichaux has been working in the IT industry since 1978, when he got his first paying programming job. Since then, his career has taken him on some interesting adventures, including writing compilers for computers used in submarines and repairing Marine helicopters. As an MVP, Paul has been a leader for many projects, specifically launching the MVP-to-MVP series, where program members present best practices to their peers. Paul himself started off the series with his presentation,
Getting Started: Becoming an Author.
He hopes that his series will empower other MVPs to become more successful, as well as create a supportive community.
"There's always something new to learn. If you have a healthy curiosity and initiative, it's impossible to be bored!" answers Robichaux, when asked what his inspiration in life is. In addition to expanding his own horizon, Paul continues to inspire others as he's written several books including an
Exchange Server Cookbook
with O'Reilly and
Secure Messaging with Exchange 2003
through MS Press. His latest Exchange Server 2013 publication will be released soon.
"Be well and do good work," says Paul, who been around for half the life of the MVP Award, which celebrates its 20th Anniversary this year. Well-seasoned to offer encouragement to fellow MVPs and through his inspiring projects, work and lifetime as an MVP, Paul Robichaux himself is a fine example of living well and doing good work.

The One-Sided Media Cocoon
While I was in the car yesterday I turned to a conservative talk radio station, which I recommend all liberals do from time to time. The host, whom I didn't recognize, brought up some innocuous piece of news reporting that appeared in the Politico. As you know if you care about these things, the Politico is a complicated media entity. On one hand, they employ a lot of reporters and they sometimes break interesting stories. On the other hand, they're almost a parody of the inside dope-obsessed Washington media, which finds the question of whether Eric Cantor's press secretary and John Boehner's press secretary are feuding far more compelling than, say, the question of what effects cuts in Medicaid would have on struggling Americans. But when this conservative talk show host mentioned the Politico, he found it necessary to refer to it as "the left-wing rag the Politico."
Here in Washington, almost no one in either party is crazy enough to think that the Politico is actually a left-wing rag, an ideologically-motivated news outlet whose purpose is to advance the liberal cause. And whether this talk show host's listeners know or care much about it in particular isn't my point. My point is this: If you are a consumer of conservative media, you get constant reminders -- every day, multiple times a day -- that you absolutely must not believe anything you hear or read in any news outlet that is not explicitly conservative. Which brings us to this new poll from Public Policy Polling, where they asked people whether they trust a long list of news outlets:
-Democrats trust everything - except Fox News. NBC does the best with them at +50 (67/17), followed by PBS and CNN at +49 (66/17 and 65/16 respectively), ABC at +38 (57/19), CBS at +35 (58/23), MSNBC at +33 (56/23), and even Comedy Central at +4 (36/32). Fox News comes in at -36 (25/61).
-Republicans meanwhile don't trust anything except Fox News. PBS comes the closest to breaking even among non-Fox outlets, although not very close, at -30 (26/56). It's followed by CNN at -49 (18/67), MSNBC at -51 (18/69), NBC at -52 (17/69), CBS at -54 (17/71), ABC at -56 (14/70), and Comedy Central at -59 (12/71). But Fox News comes in at a stellar 73/17.
This is in line with other polling on the topic, and it shouldn't surprise anyone. For the last 40 years, conservatives have made hatred of the media a core component of their ideology, and it's reinforced constantly. But this gets mischaracterized all the time, so it's important to understand: Americans are not "polarized" when it comes to the media, because that implies that both sides have drifted apart to similar degrees. Conservatives and liberals are not equally prone to huddle within their self-reinforcing cocoons. It's the conservatives who refuse to believe anything that anyone but Fox or conservative talk-radio tells them. Yes, there are a few people on the left who are similarly distrustful of information they don't get from those who share their ideology. But there's just no comparison between that small proportion of liberals and the consensus on the right that every news outlet that isn't ideologically conservative must therefore be ideologically liberal. Just look at those numbers again.
Thu, 2012-01-19 19:38
Your entire premise hangs on one key assumption: that the news outlets other than Fox are not ideologically left of center. It is well established (see TIM GROSECLOSE AND JEFFREY MILYO, A Measure of Media Bias and many other sources) that nearly all the major news outlets including those you mentioned run left of center. Yes, Fox is right of center, but their actual NEWS arm is less right of center than the NYT, CBS Evening News, and WA Post are left of center (see Grosecrose). I listen to NPR (and often yell at my radio), read the NYTs (and yell) and yes, sometimes Fox News. I think your problem is you don't know where the CENTER is. When the liberal elite talk about abortion on demand at any time as if it is a given that this is a centrist view when polls show about 20% support for it... well, you get the idea.

We always hear the moaning from conservatives about the "liberal media", yet they never offer any empirical evidence. Basically, when conservatives complain about the media, what their really referring to is any story that does not paint them in a perfect light. For example, Gingrich last night excoriated John king for the question about his ex wife. So this is an example of the Liberal "gotcha" media? No. It's someone asking Gingrich about something he was responsible for. Instead of manning up and taking responsibility for his actions, Gingrich turned it into a media critique. Does anyone think that if Obama had been a serial adulturer with a record like Gingrich's he wouldn't be asked about it? Of course not. The only bias the media really has is for scandal, controversy, or conflict irrespective of party. Conservatives only throw up the liberal media BS when they can't control the narrative. What the right really wants is propaganda, and of course that's what they get on FOX.

It is important to add that conservatives will even impute "bias" to the mainstream media even when reports are entirely "accurate." All a report has to do to earn the epithet "biased" from the Right is to put conservatives in a bad light -- even when they deserve it. I'm not saying that most reporters are not politically liberal themselves. I suspect they are. Journalism, like any of the other arts, attracts people whose search for truth and freedom of expression tends to put them on the left side of the political spectrum. But having been a reporter myself, I also know that most reporters and writers also try to be accurate and "fair" in their reporting. I am not sure that this is true of Fox News and the rest of the conservative press -- since attacking the mainstream media for bias is often the excuse they use to fight fire with fire and be equally "biased" the other way. That is the "balance" in Fox News' "fair and balanced." And I will bet that all those conservatives out there shouting "bias" every time their ox get gored are unable most of the time to show where a story was "wrong" so much as it was on the wrong side.

Wilson College offers two concentrations within the Equestrian Studies major: Equine Management and Equestrian Management.
Equine Management Concentration
The student interested primarily in the management of a barn will select
the Equine Management concentration. This program directs the student's
interests to the mechanics of running a stable and the handling of
horses within a barn, including practical stable management. The Equine
Management concentration requires two business-related courses.
Equestrian Management Concentration
The student primarily interested in riding and the teaching of riding
will select the Equestrian Management concentration. The program
improves skills in riding and provides an education focused on teaching.
In addition to equestrian courses, both concentrations include courses
in biology, psychology, physical education, and veterinary medical
technology. The Equestrian Management concentration also requires an
educational psychology course.
All students who wish to ride are evaluated and classified as
beginner, novice, intermediate, or advanced according to their
demonstrated skills. Students are grouped with riders of comparable
skills in small classes. Equitation is considered a physical education
activity and, as such, earns one-half course credit.
All students, regardless of major, may take as many equitation
courses as their schedules can accommodate. The student in the
Equestrian Management track may apply a maximum of three and one-half
equitation course credits (seven semesters) toward graduation
requirements. Other majors and students concentrating in equine
management may apply not more than one and one-half course credits
(three semesters) toward graduation requirements.

Air Quality
Through the power distributors of the TVA region, TVA provides some 9 million consumers with reliable electric power at an affordable price. This massive public power system, the largest in the nation, provides a service that operates for the public good rather than the need to generate profits.
Public service also means public responsibility, and power generation across an 80,000-square-mile service area cannot help affecting the environment. More than half of TVAs power is generated by the burning of fossil fuels, and this process inevitably releases chemical emissions into the atmosphere.
Plant modifications
TVA's aggressive emission control program has reduced sulfur dioxide emissions by 94 percent since 1977 and lowered nitrogen oxide emissions by about 90 percent since 1995.
- From 1977 to 2012, TVA spent about $5.4 billion to reduce its air emissions.
- TVA has installed emission controls on all 59 coal-fired units.
- To reduce nitrogen oxide emissions, TVA has installed selective catalytic reduction technology on 21 of its coal units.
- All five of TVA's natural gas fired Combine Cycle Plants have SCRs to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions.
- To reduce sulfur dioxide emissions, TVA has switched to low-sulfur coal at some fossil plants and equipped 60 percent of its coal-fired capacity with scrubbers.
- The TVA Board has approved scrubbers for the Gallatin coal-fired units.
Clean Air Program
TVA invests in state-of-the-art technology to reduce emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides from its coal-fired plants. Watch a video to learn more about how this equipment helps clean the air and reduce the impact of TVA's operations on the environment.
Air quality standards
Check here for information on the federal environmental standards that affect TVAs power generation.
Scientific papers
TVA carries out many research projects related to air quality and other environmental issues. See a bibliography of scientific papers.
