SUGOi RS Zero Bib Tights $0.00
The Sugoi RS Zero Bib Tight is ideal when something as protective as the RS ZeroPlus 320 isn't needed. Utilizing many of the same technologies as the RS ZeroPlus 320, the RS Zero gives you wind and moisture protection for less-than-frigid days.
Constructed with Firewall 260 paneling down the front of the legs, and MidZero around non-wind prone areas, the RS Zero toes the line between solid weather protection and stifling warmth. The soft, inner side of the MidZero fabric is made to expedite moisture movement and increase airflow. The fabric is brought together with a flat seam to avoid chafing, making the tights more comfortable to wear. Breathable Mobil Mesh bibs attach to the tights at the waist. The spandex mesh blend provides comfortable movement with wicking properties to aid in keeping you cool and dry.
The tights come with the Formula FX insert. The stretchy, high
density padding adds support where it is needed, under
pressure points, softening road vibrations. A molded center
channel adds additional pressure relief to your perineal area. Four-way
stretch side panels mold to the contours of your body so your movement
isn't inhibited when you stand up to sprint.
Stirrups on the bottom of the tights keep the legs secure, and your ankles covered from chilly winds. A five-inch zipper on the front makes bathroom breaks easier while out riding and two reflective logos on the back of the tights add a measure of visibility.
The Sugoi RS Zero Bib Tight comes in Black only and is available in Small through XX-Large.

zipper broke after use
- Familiarity:I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
zipper broke at bottom . should have a reinforced stitching!
Mike B
Some reservations
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
These have windproof panels that kept me warm in the low 30s. I could not see wearing them anymore once the weather breaks the low 40s. For me, they'd not be sufficient for temps lower than the high 20s.
The fit was not great compared to my LG gear. The stitching came unravelled in the first few rides at a couple spots. Also, the zipper blew out at the bottom. As my only pair of appropriately warm tights, I fixed the zipper and super-glued the bottom of the zipper, so it would not happen again. So, my experience with their build-quality was not good. The fabrics chosen for warmth were correct. Fit is a personal thing, but build quality was def. not up to par.
FIT: I'm 5'11" 32" waist, 33" inseam, 158lbs. The M fit was mostly right, but not consistent.
Tomasz Z.
- Familiarity:I've used it several times
I was worried about buying an XXL, seeing as how I wear XL bibs (Pearl Izumi, Hincapie), but these have a tight supportive fit which I like a lot. They are strangely enough somewhat tight around the stomach, I am 36-38 waist and I can feel the zipper being cinched up around the midsection. The straps - while comfortable around my chest - are just right at six feet in height. Almost tight standing up, and just right on the bike
Takeaway? These are definitely not a baggy XXL fit if you're worried about that.
Tights are great on rides 35-45... I'm not sweaty, temps regulated, and my knees were not cold.
Lastly, the Formula FX pad was also a pleasant surprise. Thick, supportive and comfortable.
I was so surprised by Sugoi that I snapped up a pair of RS bib shorts for summer riding.
solid bib tight for the money
- Familiarity:I've used it several times
I have owned and worn the regular RS Zero tights for several months. the bib version is exactly the same in fit/performance. very comfortable with a soft inner lining, keeps legs very warm down into the 35-45 degree range. they don't offer a ton of wind resistance, so keep that in mind. overall a great buy for the money at the sale price. I'm 5'10" and 165-lbs with a 30" inseam and the Large fits perfect (snug with a little extra length).

On average, Trauma Surgeons in the United States earn six-figure salaries ($306K) annually, making for a very well-paid profession. Career length is the biggest factor affecting pay for this group, followed by geography. The majority of workers are highly satisfied with their job. Nearly all report receiving medical coverage from their employers and a strong majority collect dental insurance. Most Trauma Surgeons survey respondents are men (76 percent). The information for this snapshot was generated by responses to the PayScale salary survey.
Add this chart to your site:
Copy and paste this HTML:
Trauma surgeons generally work in and around the emergency rooms of hospitals, including both emergency departments and operating rooms. When an individual suffers a sudden injury, these surgeons are tasked with treating them and preventing injuries from worsening.Read More...
This can be a stressful position in a fast-paced environment, so it is important to be able to stay focused and work well under pressure. In addition to performing and overseeing operations, trauma surgeons also play a role in maintaining patients' vital signs as they recover and occasionally making diagnoses to determine what sort of treatment, or referral to another specialist, is necessary. They also perform various exams and consultations.
Trauma surgeons should have completed medical school with a concentration in surgery, which requires many years of education and current board certification, often including certification for trauma and general surgery. Teamwork skills are important in this position, as trauma surgeons are usually assisted by other medical staff, and they may also work with other medical doctors who oversee patients' treatment. Candidates should have some prior experience in surgery or other ER work, either through previous employment or internship. This job requires working with patients of many different age groups and abilities and knowledge of a wide range of surgical procedures.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Even the relatively untested can score weighty six-figure salaries; survey participants with less than five years' experience report earning a median of $299K per year. The average pay reported by folks with 10 to 20 years of experience is around $344K. Trauma Surgeons who claim more than two decades of experience actually make somewhat smaller average paychecks of $336K.

Find A Grave is an amazing website! Because of Find A Grave TWO amazing cousins located me One after many years the other I never knew existed! Now we have virtual Family Reunions from across the county. Thanks Find A Grave!!!!!!!!
Thank goodness FOR GPS! For many years Weve had GPS on our vehicles and phones! When you have GPS you can always find and/or prove where your phones and/or vehicles were/are at any given SECOND! GPS also assists in locating cemeteries and grave sites.
If you want or need to add something to one of the memorials I created PLEASE click on the edit tab at the top of the memorial's page. Some folks might not realize you can add or edit family links, names, dates, etc. etc. This feature was added some time ago. Sure makes it easier on those of us who VOLUNTEER! I check for edits at least twice a day even if im busy with my husband!
Those who feel no pride in their ancestors, is unworthy to be remembered by their descendants-

RE: Find a Grave #61671689
If you go to Our Lady of Mount Carmel on find a grave, I did take pictures of the unmarked graves with flowers or crosses on them. I named them all as Unknown. I am not a member of the church, and I don't know who to talk to about the unmarked graves. I wish there was some way of letting the church know about the $25.00 headstones. I may go and talk to Hansen's since they are the people who usually handle the burials here. Thank you for all your help.

RE: Find a Grave #61671689
Thanks! I have found 12 grave sites with plastic flowers or a small wooden cross, but no names, and there are 33 people who are supposed to be buried there but I can't find their headstones. The cemetery is less then a quarter mile from my home, I can see it from my house. Did you know that Michael Moriarty is buried there? It's so sad, when I found it, it was 90% covered by a tree, bushes and dirt. That cemetery was donated to the church by Mr. Moriarty. I would say a good half of the cemetery is headstone that were made by hand and alot have info painted on them. After a year here at 6300 ft, the sun and wind fade them. I want to go to the church and tell them there is a place that with make a headstone for $25.00. I just don't want to offend anyone. Do you live near Moriarty?

I am not a family member, but I have taken pictures of all the head stones in that cemetery. There is 5 or 6 where you can tell someone is buried there, but no head stone. Do you know where Mr. Brewer is buried? I hate the fact that there are no makers on these graves. Thanks for your help.

Ida Henrietta Curtis Ballantyne
Mother: Henrietta Von Roeder # 51921252
Father: Reuben Curtis # 51424566
Ida is NOT married to Reuben Curtis (her father). Reuben Curtis first married Henrietta Von Roeder, their child was Ida Henrietta Curtis. Reuben's wife Henrietta Von Roeder then died. After his wife died, Reuben Curtis married his wife's sister, Caroline Van Roeder. The birth certificate you have posted on Ida's memorial has the correct information. I apologize if this is still not clear.

I need someone to photograph my mother and step dad's marker in the north flush at the Lovington Cemetery. The picture on her memorial page is of the front gates to the cemetery but when I try to request a photo, it says only one picture per memorial is allowed. Is there some way to remove that picture and request a picture of the marker? She is buried with my step dad Harrell Von Tanner.

I wish to perform an experiment many different times. After every trial, I am left with a "large" set of output statistics -- let's say, 1000. I would like to store the outputs of my experiments in a table, but what's the best way...?
Option 1
Have a table with 1000 columns. Seems like a bad idea. What if the number of statistics one day exceeds the maximum number of columns?
Option 2
Have a table with three columns. Let's say, ID, StatisticType, and StatisticValue. That way, you can have as many statistics as you want. However, reading a single experiments statistics becomes more complicated. Moreover, what if different statistics are different data types??
Any suggestions?

Aid to Ukraine Should Not Be Held Hostage by IMF Politics
The Obama Administration is insisting that before Congress can support courageous, Westward-looking Ukrainians, it must first reduce the power of the United States at the International Monetary Fund (IMF).[1] The White House wants Congress to attach its approval of an IMF governance "reform package" that has been pending for three years to any legislation providing urgently needed U.S. financial assistance to Ukraine. That certainly gives a new and strange meaning to the concept of "IMF conditionality."
As Heritage reported in January,[2] there are significant "moral hazard" issues in the 2010 IMF reform package that must be considered on their own merits. Decisions about the reform package should not be taken in the crisis atmosphere surrounding the situation in Ukraine. Congress should insist that the Obama Administration remove the unnecessary linkage between adoption of urgently needed IMF assistance to Ukraine and the larger questions raised by the IMF reform package.
Ukraine's Economic Problems Are Deep
At the root of the problems in Ukraine are the lingering effects of the corrupt and inefficient post-Soviet economic systems in the heavily industrialized eastern, Russian-speaking areas and throughout the country.
Despite repeated calls to do so, many of these problems in Ukraine have never been seriously addressed, nor have enough necessary reforms been adopted in the 20-plus years since the fall of the Soviet Union.
These failures can be seen in Ukraine's score in The Heritage Foundation/Wall Street Journal 2014 Index of Economic Freedom: 49.3.[3] That means its economy remains in the bottom Index category ("repressed")—even lower than Russia. Ukraine is the 155th freest out of 178 countries ranked in 2014 worldwide; it is last among the 43 countries measured in the European region. After former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych took office in 2010, the country registered steadily deteriorating scores on property rights, corruption, financial freedom, and investment freedom.
An IMF program for Ukraine can use these Index of Economic Freedom categories as a guide to shape the many reforms and conditions that will be needed to help put the Ukrainian economy on a sustainable path to recovery.
For example, the Ukrainian currency (the hryvnia) needs to be permitted to float so as to avoid further depletion of the nation's foreign currency reserves. Another huge drain on resources can be plugged by phasing out the unsustainable and wasteful system of state energy subsidies, which amount to more than 7 percent of Ukraine's gross domestic product.
The 2010 IMF Reform Package: Wholly Unrelated to Ukraine
In 2010, the IMF board, with support from the Obama Administration, proposed a series of reforms that would increase the voting power of certain emerging-market nations and double the amount of member countries' national "quota" contributions that are the primary source of funding for IMF loans.[4]
The U.S. has the largest quota of any country in the world and also the largest single-nation voting share (16.75 percent). It has been the only country in the world with veto power at the IMF. Due to the constitutional role of Congress and U.S. veto power, this IMF reform package must therefore be approved by Congress before it can go into effect.[5]
The reform package would change the rules for election of the IMF executive board, and the U.S. would lose the right it has heretofore enjoyed to appoint its own representative to the executive board—and that is where all the power is at the IMF.[6]
The reform package would also reduce U.S. control over certain "supplementary" IMF funds that can be tapped when demand for IMF resources is particularly strong, such as during major financial crises. There are two supplementary funds: the New Arrangements to Borrow (NAB) and the General Arrangements to Borrow. The U.S. currently funds the largest portion of the NAB—about $103 billion, or about 18 percent.[7]
It is clear that the U.S. has benefitted—and will continue to benefit—from the existence of the IMF. In fact, Ukraine is almost a textbook example of a nation that needs a lender of last resort, the sort of situation for which the IMF was created more than 70 years ago.
On the other hand, many conservatives have rightly pointed to the IMF as an enabler of moral hazard. They are concerned that American tax dollars are being used for IMF programs that bail out bad decisions by other governments that follow reckless fiscal and monetary policies (e.g., the flawed policies that Ukraine pursued under Yanukovych until 2011 when the IMF ended its previous program for the country).
Congress's Role
Congress should:
- Refuse the Obama Administration's attempt to link urgent assistance to Ukraine to approval of the IMF governance reform package that has been pending for three years,
- Insist that the 2010 reform package be revised so that the U.S. retains the unilateral right to appoint its own representative to the executive board, and
- Demand the abolition of the NAB supplemental facility so that it cannot be used in the future as an additional source of potentially morally hazardous lending during the next "crisis."
Meanwhile, President Obama should be leading efforts by Western countries to provide immediate help to the people of Ukraine through existing international financial institutions (e.g., the IMF), appropriate bilateral aid, and increased private investment.
The Best Prescription: Economic Freedom
The IMF has been functioning effectively for the three years since the IMF governance reforms were proposed in late 2010. There is no reason why the U.S. government cannot immediately put together an emergency aid program for Ukraine (loans, grants, and technical assistance) by repurposing existing congressional development assistance appropriations without the need for Congress to first adopt the IMF reform package.
In any case, the pursuit of prudent, free-market, and pro-economic growth policies—those potentially at risk from IMF-funded moral hazard—remains the best prescription for all IMF member countries and requires no IMF resources to follow. These core principles are the foundation of the Index of Economic Freedom.

But ...
Since this is the Rain-on-the-Parade-I'm-happy-it's-a-win-But thread, I'm going to say this to keep the ball in play. 1st and goal at the half yard line and you THROW after just having established some smash-mouth football?!?! 3 straight handoffs should have been the most it would have taken to get 7 instead of 3. He's lucky that play call won't be the focus of attention this week.

Re: Happy to get the win, but.....

Thank you for all of your advice on what to name the Newfoundland puppy!
As I mentioned, we took your comments and narrowed it down to three names:
Well, the winning name was….
(Drumroll, please….)
I think it's a perfect name for a beautiful puppy! Thanks for all the comments!
Thank you for all of your suggestions below and on Facebook! I love the fact that you guys would take time out to help us figure out the perfect name.
For a little background, this is the dog I got for Gino! He's a Newfoundland and the biggest puppy I've ever seen. (I think Gino's getting a glimpse of parenthood… and no, we aren't living together!)
So, out of all the names we've gotten, I think my favorites are:
Clifford (ha!)
What do you guys think of these? I'll keep you posted!

Olympus Pen E-PL1 digital camera hands on
Olympus launched its "budget" Micro Four Thirds camera on Wednesday and Pocket-lint was on hand (in a coffee shop) to bring you the low down on the third instalment in Olympus' "hybrid" Pen range.
The new model, which swaps metal for plastic, will cost £549 in the UK but comes with a 14 to 42mm kit lens and the promise that you'll look "Kevin Spacey" cool.
Specs include an Olympus TruePic V Image Processor, 12.3-megapixel Live Mos sensor, a 2.7-inch LCD and a direct video record button on the back of the camera for capturing HD film footage.
The Olympus Pen E-PL1 gets 19 shooting modes and various arty special effects with a Live Guide to help preview the result, face detection, panorama options and an image stabiliser.
What that means in the hand is a rather large, but equally capable, camera that will let you shoot in a variety of different environments without you having to mention "single lens reflex" once.
In fact, aimed at complete newbies to digital photography, the camera even goes that one stage further in de-mystifying common jargon like white balance, aperture, shutter speed, colour hue and saturation, with easy to understand terminology and sliding graphs for the non-photography geek within you.
Yes there is a retro feel to the model, but then that's what you expect from Olympus and the Pen range.
Expected in March, the camera will cost £549 in the UK or $599 in the US.
We will keep you posted on the camera's performance once we get a production-ready unit in the office. In the mean time, if you're into the full-fat versions head over to our full review of the Olympus Pen E-P2.

This is most likely the place Moriarty stayed whilst plotting to shove poor Sherlock off the Reichenbach Falls. It oozes atmosphere and character. The stairs are narrow and steep enough to hold off half a dozen Pinkerton agents at once and the lift only sufficient to hold one American tourist at a time. Set in a quite location near Amsterdam's principal museums opposite a pleasant green where strangely enough on the days of my stay there was a bloodhound was running loose. Mustard soup is a Dutch speciality but unfortunately without the aid of Sherlock I could not locate any restaurant that served it. I visit Amsterdam regularly on Business and this hotel is my favourite.To quote the ex- governor of California "I will be back!"

About This Item
From Manhattan to Paris and all the way to Tehran, Danielle Steel weaves a powerfully compelling story that reminds us how challenging and unpredictable life can be—and how the bonds of family hold us together.
Annie Ferguson was a bright young Manhattan architect with a limitless future—until a single phone call changed the course of her life forever. Overnight, she became the mother to her sister's three orphaned children, keeping a promise she never regretted making, even if it meant putting her own life indefinitely on hold.
Now, at forty-two, still happily single with a satisfying career and a family that means everything to her, Annie is suddenly facing an empty nest. With her nephew and nieces now grown and confronting challenges of their own, she must navigate a parent's difficult passage between helping and letting go. The eldest, twenty-eight-year-old Liz, an overworked editor in a high-powered job at Vogue, has never allowed any man to come close enough to hurt her. Ted, at twenty-four a serious law student, is captivated by a much older woman with children, who is leading him much further than he wants to go. And the impulsive youngest, twenty-one-year old Katie, is an art student about to make a choice that will lead her to a world she is in no way prepared for but determined to embrace.
Then, when least expected, a chance encounter changes Annie's life again in the most surprising direction of all. . . .

There is a famous morality tale in Herodotus. 'Darius...called together some of the Greeks...and asked them what they would take to eat their dead fathers. They said that no price in the world would make them do so. After that Darius summoned those of the Indians who are called Callatians, who do eat their parents, and, in the presence of the Greeks..., asked them what price would make them burn their dead fathers with fire. They shouted aloud, "Don't mention such horrors!" These are matters of settled custom, and I think Pindar is right when he says, "Custom is king of all."' [3, 38. David Grene translation] Herodotus noticed twenty-five centuries ago what people go on noticing today: customs and taboos differ from one society to another, one town to another, one household to another. Some people think circumcision is disgusting, some think its absence is; some think female genital mutilation is repugnant, others think female genitals in their pre-mutilation state are. Chinese women used to find unbound feet just as ugly and crude and silly-looking as men did; they endured the pain and crippling of binding, and forced it on their daughters and grandaughters. The result was generations of women who could barely walk and couldn't possibly run, but were proud owners of the lotus foot - a foot which, by being folded in half, created a new orifice just the right size for an erect penis. Custom is king of all.
Such customs and taboos, however arbitrary and even harmful they may be, have their uses. They help create and reinforce group solidarity and loyalty. They're yet another way of demarcating and emphasizing that highly prized difference between Us and Them, Our People and Those Other People, Self and Other. Like many animals, humans organize their lives around what Freud in one of his moments of lucidity called the narcissism of minor differences: Friend and Stranger, Greek and Barbarian, Home and Away, Blue and Green, Man United and Liverpool, Big Endian and Little Endian, Native and Alien. Catholic and Protestant, Muslim and Jew, believer and infidel - it's all too obvious where this goes. People in 16th Century France slaughtered each other in wholesale lots over a drop of wine and a bit of bread. The Indian Mutiny of 1857 is said to have been triggered partly by the use of beef tallow to lubricate guns. The issues involved can seem staggeringly trivial, but to some at least the payoff in arousing and engorging the sensation of loyalty and Hurrah for our team is worth it.
Desire for that invidious thrill of belonging is no doubt what motivates the relentless nagging about Family Values in the US over the past twenty years or so. Forget all that Wider Community stuff, forget going down to Mississippi to try to help undo some of their more vicious and destructive taboos and group loyalties and untraversable borders, forget famines in Ethiopia or little wars in Asia, just stick to your own clan and let other people stick to theirs. Nobody really gives a damn about anybody but relatives, after all, so let's just all hunker down in our own tiny group. I had an uncle who used to rebuke my misbehavior when I was a child by saying sternly 'We don't do that in this house,' which always made me dislike him quite a lot, but no doubt gave him a thrill.
It's a popular thrill, saying 'We don't do that here.' Leon Kass, chair of the Council on Bioethics in the Bush administration, wrote a famous article for
The New Republic
in 1997, entitled 'The Wisdom of Repugnance.' 'Repugnance is the emotional expression of deep wisdom, beyond reason's power to express it,' he said. But this business of repugnance we can't quite articulate should give us pause - should make us come to a screeching halt, in fact. Why can't
we articulate it? Could it be because there is nothing to articulate? If we have good reasons for doing or not doing a thing, aren't we normally able to put them in words? 'Because I said so' is all right when telling children what to do, because who has time to explain every single thing to a five-year-old, but for an actual official indeed presidential council, one expects a little more. Arm-waving and saying 'I can't explain' don't really match the job description.
Especially since people have always 'just somehow known' in their guts or their hearts or their gluteus maximus, without being able to say why, all sorts of things that the world would be better off if they hadn't just known. That Africans should be slaves, that Jews were polluting Germany, that women should be kept under house arrest at all times, that witches should be burnt, that the races must never mix. We're all too adept at thinking what we're not used to is inherently disgusting. John Ruskin never consummated his marriage because he thought his wife's pubic hair was disgusting. He'd never seen a living naked woman before, only paintings and statues, and he wasn't used to it. No doubt he thought it was very wrong of Effie to have it. All sorts of things are disgusting. Slimy wet rotting vegetation is disgusting, pus is disgusting, a swollen decomposing squirrel in the woods is disgusting. But is there any moral content to this disgust? Should the squirrel pull itself together and stop decaying in that nasty way? Should pus take thought and transform itself into peach ice cream?
Habit and familiarity have a great deal (though not everything) to do with what people find disgusting but very little to do with ethics. Cruelty, exploitation, injustice, violence don't become better with repetition, they only become easier for the perpetrators, such as the regular guys turned obedient Jew-killers of Christopher Browning's
Ordinary Men. Disgust is good clean fun and provides endless amusement for children, but it's worthless as a moral compass. Saying 'Ew, ick, yuk, gross,' and saying 'That's wrong' are two different things. It's a long-standing confusion, going back to Plato if not farther, to think the beautiful is the good and the good is the beautiful, but it's not necessarily so.

UFC 123: Rampage gets split decision over Machida and calls for rematch
It was tense. The mood was electric. Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson had to live up to his moniker in Michigan if he was to find redemption against karate expert Lyoto Machida. It was an absorbing battle, and Jackson, sportingly, lifted his opponent's arm at the final hooter. Great respect. Jackson was declared the winner.
He was more aggressive and would have been awarded for Octagon control. He also looked in great condition. Machida simply looked to counter.
I had it 29-28 for Machida. But a draw might have been a better outcome. This fight needed the full five rounds for it to play out fully. It was 29-28 twice for Jackson; 29-28 from one judge for Machida.
"Aggression must have won that fight because he whooped my ass. A rematch would seem the right thing," said Jackson. Very sporting. Jackson howled his way to the Octagon, and hunted Machida like a wolf. Jackson, outthought and outfought by Rashad Evans in his last fight, faced the man with arguably the most awkward style in MMA. He looked up for it.
He began by hunting Machida from the centre of the Octagon. Machida threw out kicks, looking to unsettle his movement. Jackson tied Machida up halfway through the round, against the Octagon wall in the first, landing with occasional shots – a glancing wild right, and a left hook. There were more kicks from Machida. For me, he got the round, mainly with the leg kicks.
Rampage pushed forward in the second round. Rampage lifted knees to the body. They tied up again; Jackson got the takedown, Machida got back up. Jackson threw knees again. He blocked a head kick. Machida landed a left hook and left leg kick on the hooter, but Rampage had the round. There was little separating them.
Rampage went hunting again in the third. But that round was Machida's. It contained the best action of the fight.
Machida landed with a combination, sending Jackson across the Octagon. Rampage covered up, under pressure and then countered. Machida got a takedown, and worked for a kimura.
Jackson knew he may have to plough through punches and kicks to get to the Brazilian's chin, exposed when he was brutally knocked out by Shogun Rua in his last contest, a defence of the UFC light-heavyweight title.
However, Jackson pushed forward for most of the fight, and battled with intent. He was more versatile in this fight, but was surprised by the decision. It was very, very close. A re-match is inevitable.

The NYT Retreats, Incoherently
An "entanglement" exception to the First Amendment?

The Times' Incoherent Turn Against Judy Miller: TheNYT's editor, Bill Keller says
[I]f I had known the details of Judy's entanglement with Libby, I'd have been more careful in how the paper articulated its defense, and perhaps more willing than I had been to support efforts aimed at exploring compromises.
Maureen Dowd writes [$]:
[B]efore turning Judy's case into a First Amendment battle, they should have nailed her to a chair and extracted the entire story of her escapade.
I'm confused. What, exactly, would Keller have learned about Miller--i.e. what does he know now--that would have caused him to change his position on whether the Times would defend her initial refusal to testify? The worst rumor about Miller, remember--that she told Libby about Plame's employment, rather than hearing about it from him--turns out to apparently not have been true.
Is Keller shocked, shocked to now discover that Miller was 'entangled' with a high-level Bush aide like Libby? And this wasn't already apparent from, say, reading her pieces on WMDs? He knew nothing about how Miller operates? Good reporters get entangled with sources all the time. Does the Times claim that only its reporters who remain clinically uninvolved with real people or their causes get the First Amendment rights the paper righteously demands for itself? You have to be neutral about the plight of the uninsured? If so I can give Keller the names of a half dozen Times reporters to whom the First Amendment doesn't apply. (Jason ... Nina ... John ... Fox ...)
Maybe what Keller would have discovered upon grilling Miller is that she a) had apparently agreed to deceptively identify Libby as "a former Hill staffer", although she didn't actually use that identification in a story; b) had "misled [Times editor] Phil Taubman about the extent of her involvement" in the Plame story; and c) had offered testimony (e.g., about not remembering who told her the name "Valerie Flame") that lacked credibility. Keller endorses as "just right" an e-mail from reporter Richard Stevenson that says:
"I think there is, or should be, a contract between the paper and its reporters. The contract holds that the paper will go to the mat to back them up institutionally _ but only to the degree that the reporter has lived up to his or her end of the bargain, specifically to have conducted him or herself in a way consistent with our legal, ethical and journalistic standards, to have been open and candid with the paper about sources, mistakes, conflicts and the like, and generally to deserve having the reputations of all of us put behind him or her.
