Failures of Courage, Not Law
No Associated Press content was harmed in the writing of this post
Garrett Epps' "The Founders' Great Mistake" in the latest Atlantic looks at the expansion of the executive branch and proposes some remedies. Articles like his tend to make me feel conflicted because part of me is drawn towards Big Idea discussions - theoretical explorations of how things should be, regardless of practical limitations. And another part of me loathes it as endless, indulgent, droning abstraction; nothing more than an extended exercise in mental masturbation. But since we've had two presidents this week it might not be excessive to spend a post on the nature of the office itself.
One of Epps' points is that Articles I and II of the Constitution are the source of many problems. Article I empowers Congress, Article II the president. He notes, though, that while Congress "was limited to its enumerated powers, the executive could do literally anything that the Constitution did not expressly forbid." His remedy:
Article II should include a specific and limited set of presidential powers….It should be made clear, for example, that the president's powers as commander in chief do not crowd out the power of Congress to start—and stop—armed conflict. Likewise, the duty to "take care that the laws be faithfully executed" needs to be clarified: it is not the power to decide which laws the president wants to follow, or to rewrite new statutes in "signing statements" after Congress has passed them;I would call this music to George Bush's ears. Article I, Section 8 takes care of the first part of his recommendation, giving Congress the powers:
To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water;
To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years;
That seems about as cut-and-dried a limitation on the president as you could ask for. Similarly, no clarification is needed on the requirement to faithfully execute the law - signing statements are not provided for and a failure to implement laws as passed by Congress is simply illegal. Both of Epps' recommendations dignify and legitimize Bush-era stances towards the Constitution. One of them is ambiguity. For all its good-versus-evil, "with us or against us" rhetoric the Bush administration was positively infatuated with muddying fairly simple issues beyond recognition. Congress has the power to declare war, period. What we need is not new language but a new Congress willing to defend its prerogatives. We need legislators determined to not commit our soldiers to battle absent an formal declaration of war, who won't pass an ambiguous "authorization" as a way of ducking responsibility and giving in to presidential bullying.
The same is true of executing laws. If the president won't enforce them or tries to use plainly unsupportable interpretations, the remedy is to haul him into court, not to amend the Constitution. It seems that Epps, and perhaps a lot of other well meaning analysts, are trying to find a way to legislate around the abuses of the Bush years. But such efforts are futile, and in fact counterproductive. The failure of the last eight years is not of laws, but of courage.
Some of his theorizing is more appealing. He notes "the executive branch is a behemoth…responsible to one person, and that one person, as we have seen, is only loosely accountable to the electorate" and recommends dividing it "between two elected officials—a president, and an attorney general who would be voted in during midterm elections." That would require no transfer of power and it almost certainly would have produced a better result for the country than the Ashcroft/Gonzales/Mukasey triumvirate did. Even better, why not move the AG into the legislative branch and formally charge it with the interpretation of laws for the executive branch. If the president is unclear or is considering some novel interpretation of the law shouldn't the branch that passed it in the first place have the final say? (Note that this also eliminates the need for signing statements.)
The behemoth could also be cut down in size. There is no reason agencies like the EPA and SEC should be under executive control. Moving them and others to the legislative branch would better shield us from the effects of a president who subscribes to the theories of plebiscitary democracy and the unitary executive (i.e. authoritarianism lite). In the end, though, what we really need are leaders with spines. It has been our great misfortune to not have them the past eight years, and there is no Constitutional amendment or Backbone Reinforcing Act that can drag them into existence.
This Week In Tyranny
No Associated Press content was harmed in the writing of this post
Some thoughts for the last post of the current president. For the last year or so I've deliberately tried to avoid even using his name, and while I've slipped on it a little the last couple weeks (maybe out of joyful anticipation) a scan of my posts will show almost no mentions by name. I haven't wanted to dignify him by naming him. Good riddance.
A few links, though. Just a scoop of the horror, not the whole bucket. Prairie Weather tipped me to Frozen Scandal, a good look at how the wrongdoing of our time never gets resolved, but frozen in place. If you've never read this about our secret prisons now might be a good time if you're feeling nostalgic. Or this. It's a measure of the damage the man has done to our country that legislation passed to help deal with Reconstruction - the aftermath of the goddamn Civil War - is now being put back into play.
Moving on. I missed this initially, but president-elect Obama "announced that he would at least partially rely on the guidance of the current [Director of National Intelligence], Mike McConnell. McConnell will 'continue to offer his counsel through my Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board,' Obama said." Will his counsel be along these lines?
I queried McConnell again, later, about his views on waterboarding, since this exchange seemed to suggest that he personally condemned it. He rejected that interpretation. "You can do waterboarding lots of different ways," he said. "I assume you can get to the point that a person is actually drowning." That would certainly be torture, he said. The definition didn't seem very different from John Yoo's.
I have no idea what our incoming president is thinking, but he is sending an absolutely horrible signal.
I've written before about the influence of uber-villagers like Stuart Taylor and how his noxious views on torture are likely to affect policy. And now we see the results of his handiwork. Yesterday, the Washington Post vomited up an egregiously one-sided pro-torture article in its news pages (effectively rebutted by Robert Parry, here.)
God I wish I could write like that. The frustrating aspect of the Newsweek article she mentions is that it isn't just wrong on many facts, but it's wrong in its philosophy too. It attempts to frame the issue of torture as just another Washington tug of war between liberals and conservatives instead of one that distinguishes civilized from uncivilized people. It's one thing to bat down plainly incorrect reporting (e.g. "Reportedly, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, under intense interrogation, corroborated al-Marri's identity" should read "Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, under torture, told his tormentors what they wanted to hear") but how do you rebut a wholesale recasting of reality?
More on torture. If you have the stomach.
I continue to loathe the bailout.
Bonus Jane Mayer Fanboy Item: She gets a shout out in 24. Her reaction is intelligent, witty and thorough. Priceless. I'm beginning to secretly hope her personal life is a complete train wreck because it seems deeply unfair for someone to have such an obvious advantage in intelligence over the rest of us. We need something as compensation to make us feel better.
I'll leave you with a happier note, though. In a sane political environment Russ Feingold would be considered one of the only legitimate voices left. As it stands he is still eclipsed by those who have profited enormously by being wrong at every turn. And plenty of those folks are sticking around after Inauguration Day.
UNPACKING JANE: From pp. 129-31:
Maher Arar, a Canadian telecommunications engineer, had occasion to experience the CIA's largesse firsthand. On September 26, 2002, American officials, suspecting Arar of being a terrorist, apprehended him on his return to Canada from a family vacation in Tunisia during a layover at John F. Kennedy Airport in New York…Arar, who at the time was a thirty-four-year-old graduate of McGill University whose family had emigrated to Canada when he was a teenager, was detained because his name had been placed on the terrorist watch list. He was held for the next thirteen days, as American officials questioned him about possible links to two other suspected terrorists. Arar said that he barely knew them, although he had worked with the brother of one suspect. Arar did not know it at the time, but he had been falsely implicated when these subjects were tortured in Syria.
[Arar is rendered to Syria], where interrogators, after a day of threats, "just began beating on me." They whipped his hands repeatedly with two-inch-thick electrical cables and kept him in a body-sized slot of a windowless underground cell - his cell was no. 2 - which he likened to being buried alive in a casket. "Not even animals could withstand it," he said. Although he initially tried to assert his innocence, he eventually confessed to anything his tormentors wanted to say. "You just give up," he said. "You become like an animal."
The Real Cost of Guantanamo
No Associated Press content was harmed in the writing of this post
The president had his final press conference this week and it caused quite a stir. An unusually adversarial White House press corps (glad you could make it!) and an uncharacteristically reflective subject produced more noteworthy comments than a year's worth of them normally create. The president came off poorly, and many observers - including right leaning and solidly right wing ones - could not help but note unflattering similarities to Richard Nixon. But despite the unusually candid tone and body language - by turns unrepentant, defensive, petulant and arrogant - and the mostly unyielding insistence on his rightness, perhaps the most revealing moment did not seem to get much scrutiny.
When asked whether his administration's military and detention policies "have damaged America's moral standing in the world," he fired back that America is plenty popular just about everywhere but the salons of Europe. That part of the answer got plenty of play. But then he said, "And I understand that Gitmo has created controversies. But when it came time for those countries that were criticizing America to take some of those - some of those detainees, they weren't willing to help out." The first and most superficially interesting part of the answer is his stammering on "some of those." The White House has been exceedingly careful to refer to those held in Guantánamo as detainees and not prisoners. Calling them prisoners brings those quaint Geneva Conventions into the picture and would require them to be treated according to an organized, recognized and legitimate legal system. Calling them detainees allows the administration to keep them in the improvised and illegitimate activities they continue to insist is a valid new legal system. Was the president about to say "some of those prisoners"? And what does it say about his policy that the language regarding it must be so frequently parsed, checked and otherwise tailored?
The truly remarkable part of his statement is his assumption that other countries that have been critical of this world of shadows have some obligation to take the prisoners off our hands. Other countries have been critical because these policies go against centuries of Western legal, judicial, civil and human rights traditions! The president acts as though it is done in a fit of pique, or contrariness, or distaste for him personally, or reflexive anti-Americanism or moral obtuseness. It does not seem to occur to him, and he may be incapable of imagining, that they have taken these positions out of a deep ethical repugnance for the policies themselves. As such, what obligation do they have to become entangled in our moral quagmire? Perhaps they objected in the first place precisely because they could envision just the dead end we now find ourselves in, and did not want to take that dilemma on for themselves.
And a dead end it is. I have read and heard numerous purveyors of conventional wisdom in the last few weeks ponder sagely on the Gordian Knot we are confronted with. It goes along these lines: Well, we have had these people warehoused for years. We have to close it down. But where would they go? You can't just send them to Leavenworth; politicians won't allow it. It would be easier to get nuclear waste to Yucca Mountain. You can't bring them into the legal system because once cruelty-induced evidence is thrown out there may not be enough left to sustain an indictment much less a conviction. You could try to create some alternate procedure for trying them, but that would ultimately come down to trying to find a way to admit the fruits of torture into evidence. Yet at least some of them (probably more than when the place opened) harbor extremely ill feelings towards us, and a few among them have actively conspired to do us harm.
If we can't hold them, can't convict them in our legal system and could only potentially convict them in a kangaroo court designed to let us rationalize inhumane treatment, what is left? The answer is obvious, of course (if politically treacherous). They have to be released back to their home countries. We have to allow them, even ones with untold secrets, unhatched plots and unstinting hatred towards us, the worst of the worst if you will, to go back where they came from. It would let the rest of the world, even those who "weren't willing to help out," know that we will not attempt to profit from lawlessness. We would send the message that we will put ourselves at a practical disadvantage when we run afoul of our own - and the rest of the civilized world's - standards for decency. And then we better double and triple check our intelligence gathering capabilities.
This Week In Tyranny
No Associated Press content was harmed in the writing of this post
Dawn Johnsen is taking over the Office of Legal Counsel and she is on record that OLC must be willing to "say no" to the president. That is good, and her record in this respect is encouraging as well. On the other hand, Alberto Gonzales said in his confirmation hearings that "I am deeply committed to the rule of law. I have a deep and abiding commitment to the fundamental American principle that we are a nation of laws and not of men." How did that turn out? Similarly, there was a spasm of excitement this week about president-elect Obama's statement this week: "Under my administration, the United States does not torture." Does no one remember that our current president claimed "We do not torture" (more than once) as well? It is a bit unsettling to see some on the left accept the same kind of advance proclamation of fidelity to the rule of law and firm assurance from those at the top, which they were (properly) deeply skeptical of in the current administration, at face value for the upcoming one.
As detainees are released they are beginning to tell their stories. I cannot improve upon John Cole: "We have lost our damned minds." That is the best available summary of our approach to terrorism.
Guantánamo was born out of contempt for due process. It is the product of a White House culture that is contemptuous of the Constitution, not of wartime necessity. So it should not be surprising that the lawless nature of its very existence has been repeated on a larger scale in Afghanistan and orders of magnitude bigger in Iraq. It's hard to believe you are a law unto yourself on a small patch of an island but bound by it everywhere else. God complexes are hard to compartmentalize.
The geniuses behind the unitary executive theory don't appear to know or care that its principles don't seem to survive contact with the courts. Dick Cheney is probably not bothered by this; he just needed it to justify him doing whatever he wanted. It served that purpose, he's done with it now, and he may well be indifferent to its fate going forward. But for the people who really believe this garbage in principle, does it give them pause is slowly, piece by piece, being dismantled? Does it bother them that their signature cause of the last eight years - and presumably their reputations as well - are being entirely discredited?
UNPACKING JANE: Mayer writes of Alberto J. Mora, General Counsel of the Navy, on page 219. He learns that abusive treatment is not an aberration originating well down the chain of command, but directed from the top:
"I was under the impression that the interrogation activities described would be unlawful and unworthy of the military services," Mora said. "I was appalled by the whole thing. It was clearly abusive and assaultive. It was also clear it would get worse. It could lead to creep, where if the violence didn't work well, they would double it," as psychological studies like the Zimbardo experiment at Stanford, in which students guarding mock prisoners became abusive, had shown. In Mora's view, the state-sanctioned cruelty was also "clearly contrary to everything we were ever taught about American values…If cruelty is no longer declared unlawful, but instead applied as a matter of policy, it alters the fundamental relationship of man to government. It destroys the whole notion of individual rights. The Constitution recognizes that man has an inherent right, not bestowed by the state or laws, to personal dignity, including the right to be free of cruelty. It applies to all human beings, not just in America - even those designated as 'unlawful enemy combatants.' If you make this exception, the whole Constitution crumbles. It's a transformative issue."
Please keep this in mind when someone tries to use the argument that the Phoenix Program in Vietnam is just one example of other times when America has engaged in cruelty and torture of prisoners. Prior to this it was still unlawful, and if word of it leaked there was an expectation that prosecutions if not convictions would follow. What has transformed us in the current case is the assertion that all of it is legal. This is what is different now.
Rockefeller and Feinstein: Preserving the Bush Legacy
No Associated Press content was harmed in the writing of this post
On Monday it was reported that Barack Obama would nominate Leon Panetta to be the next CIA director, and there was an immediate, sharp reaction from some fellow Democrats. The LA Times quoted incoming head of the Senate Intelligence Committee Dianne Feinstein saying "I was not informed about the selection of Leon Panetta to be the CIA director. My position has consistently been that I believe the agency is best served by having an intelligence professional in charge at this time", while a senior aide to Jay Rockefeller said the Senator "thinks very highly of Panetta. But he's puzzled by the selection. He has concerns because he has always believed that the director of CIA needs to be someone with significant operational intelligence experience and someone outside the political realm."
There has since been some inside baseball - literally describing it as a "brush-back pitch" - about why it happened. At first blush Feinstein's snippy reaction brings to mind Glenn Greenwald's memorable formulation about politicians "acting far more out of resentment over the procedural treatment to which they [are] subjected…than out of any principled objection." Her first reaction to it had to do with her not having been informed, not on his fitness for the position (and heaven knows members of that club have majestic sensibilities that they expect to be catered to). Some groveling ensued, and everyone was happy. But there may be more to it. It also emerged that some key (via) lower level figures would stay in the system. Was that an unspoken assurance of maintaining the status quo?
I have written before about the compromised nature of this generation of leaders, and it is hard to escape the conclusion that much of the Democratic leadership during the Bush years is irretrievably tainted. In addition to Feinstein and Rockefeller, Jane Hamsher includes Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Jane Harmon; Matt Stoller mentions Hillary Clinton's AUMF vote as significantly damaging her in the caucus states. The fact is, almost all major Democrats during the current presidency had some opportunity to at least make some noise and try to slow the momentum towards lawlessness, but chose to not push back.
(Obama famously opposed the AUMF, but remember he did not have to vote on it. Given his consensus-building style he almost certainly wouldn't have been a lonely holdout had he been in Congress at the time. Such are the vagaries of life. He was able to take the position popular with his base at no political cost and it ended up being to his great benefit. And sometimes another team's star player suffers a season ending injury the day before playing yours. You deal with circumstances as you find them and not as they ought to be.)
Now that the president is about to leave town for good it sets up a revealing dynamic. It is probably safe to say a lot of Democratic leaders will miss him terribly because he was such an effective foil. His fearmongering and inflexible approach gave them room to claim helplessness in the face of insurmountable opposition. Whatever their motivation - whether they truly opposed the president but decided if you can't beat 'em join 'em, or if they just wanted cover for what they wanted to do anyway - the end result was the same. They decided to get read in to the programs and not object, stuff their pockets with telecom money, blandly endorse an Attorney General who clearly signaled his support of torture, and generally go along with the program.
Now that their favorite excuse for inaction is about to leave there seems to be some uneasiness descending. Speculation is swirling not just about what Panetta's nomination foreshadows; other nominees to sensitive positions are being chewed over as well. What may be shaping up is a battle not between parties but interests. The Washington leadership of both parties has a strong incentive to prevent any kind of shaking up. Leaks, revelations, investigations and lawsuits concerning this era can only end up badly for them. Getting everyone off the subject is by far the best solution for them. But the president-elect ran on a platform of change, and the Incredible Shrinking GOP is desperate for any glimmer of hope to turn around its fortunes. While I don't doubt the potential for Obama to move to a more establishment-friendly position or D.C. Republicans' ability to continue to act with no sense of self-preservation, it is possible that the two might - even inadvertently - put some powerful forces into play. Expect the likely targets to resist mightily.

Policy Update #32: Monthly Forecast: May 2016 [viewed]
After a full schedule of high-profile events, statements, and commitments in April, policy work in May 2016 will be guided by key documents on sustainable development.
A gathering of intergovernmental actors or representatives from UN bodies to address agenda items dealing with climate change issues.
After a full schedule of high-profile events, statements, and commitments in April, policy work in May 2016 will be guided by key documents on sustainable development.
22 April 2016: Senior government officials shared their perspectives on sustainable development priorities in the Caribbean, during the 26th session of the Caribbean Development and Cooperation Committee (CDCC), a subsidiary body of the UN Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC). Among other priorities, participants stressed national ownership and integrated planning, and suggested addressing debt management through a Caribbean Resilience Fund.
20 April 2016: Two events organized as part of the International Year of Pulses (IYP 2016) have called for increased efforts to scale up global production of pulses, such as beans, chickpeas, and lentils, due to their multiple benefits as nutrient-dense, soil improving and "climate-smart" crops. The International Conference on Pulses for Health, Nutrition and Sustainable Agriculture in Drylands (ICP 2016) took place from 18-20 April in Rabat, Morocco, while the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN (FAO) hosted a seminar in Rome, Italy addressing the links between pulses and soils (the focus of international efforts in 2015), on 19 April 2016.
24 April 2016: Two days after 175 Parties to the UNFCCC signed the Paris Agreement, the Major Economies Forum on Climate and Energy (MEF) met in New York, US, and contemplated how to continue the momentum ushered in by the adoption of the Agreement by the 21st session of the Conference of the Parties to the UNFCCC (COP 21). The 24 April meeting was the first time the MEF, which includes the world's largest emitters, convened since the Agreement was adopted in December 2015.
25 April 2016: Over the past few days, announcements supporting carbon pricing and clean energy have been made. Ten leaders have issued a joint vision statement laying out the goal of doubling the percentage of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions covered by explicit carbon pricing to 25% by 2020, and of doubling it again to achieve 50% coverage within the next decade. In separate news, over 25 countries have pledged to unleash a potential investment flow of up to US$1 trillion into solar assets. And for its part, the New Development Bank has announced it will provide US$811 million in a first round of loans for clean energy projects in Brazil, China, India and South Africa.
14 April 2016: The third Science Forum of the Independent Science and Partnership Council (ISPC) of the CGIAR Consortium discussed pathways through which agricultural research can support the inclusive development of rural economies under conditions of climate change.
The Second Stakeholder Forum of the Africa-EU Energy Partnership (AEEP) will be hosted jointly by the Italian Government, the African Union Commission (AUC) and the European Union Commission (EC). The two day Forum will be split into day one, 16 May being a technical thematic stakeholder day deepening on Energy Access, Energy Efficiency, Renewable Energy and Energy Security, and day two, 17 May will be dedicated to high level delegates and stakeholders. The Forum will build on the First Stakeholder meeting held in Cape Town, South Africa in 2012. It envisages participation of African and European Ministers, AU and EU Commissioners, and more than 300 other high-level participants representing policy-makers, regional institutions, international organisations, the banking & finance industry, the private sector, academia, the civil society and the media. The conference is expected to result in an Africa-EU Energy Stakeholder Forum Communiqué, launch a "Mapping of Initiatives and Programmes in Africa Report", release of an "Intermediate AEEP Status Report", and develop a stakeholders' call-for-action.
22 April 2016: During the High-Level Signature Ceremony for the Paris Agreement on Climate Change held at the UN Headquarters in New York, US, on 22 April 2016, 175 Parties to the UNFCCC signed the Paris Agreement (174 countries and the EU), the largest ever number of first-day signatures to an international agreement. Of the 175 Parties that participated in the ceremony, 15 States deposited instruments of ratification. The signature ceremony was preceded, on 21 April, by the High-Level Thematic Debate on Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which highlighted the interlinkages among the actions necessary to address climate change and foster sustainable development, and a briefing on forest conservation and restoration that discussed the implications of the formal signing of the Paris Agreement.
22 April 2016: In a step toward determining what possible climate change actions are needed from the international shipping sector, the Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has approved a mandatory system for collecting data on ships' fuel consumption. Ships of 5,000 gross tonnage or more will have to record and report their consumption for every type of fuel they use to their flag State at the end of the calendar year. The flag State will determine whether the reporting meets requirements, issue a Statement of Compliance to the ship and transfer the data to the IMO Ship Fuel Consumption Database.
22 April 2016: The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) held an event to highlight initiatives at national, regional and local levels that mitigate and adapt to climate change through nature-based solutions. The event took place on the sidelines of the UN's signing ceremony for the Paris Agreement on climate change.

MAC Mineralize Lip Balm ($19.50 for 0.33 fl. oz.) is a new lip formula that is supposed to give a tint of color with "mirror-like shine" that is also hydrating and moisturizing. It is available in five shades: Nice & Simple (bronzy gold with multi-dimensional pearl), Pure & Tender (plummy creamy nude), Rosy Romance (bluish plum with subtle pink pearl), Slightly Nude (nude coral and subtle pink pearl), and Stay Warm (creamy light pink).Read Full Review
Dior Candide (457) (437) Dior Addict Lipstick
Dior Candide (457) Dior Addict Lipstick ($31.00 for 0.12 oz.) is described as a "pink." It's a light-medium pink with subtle yellow undertones and a shiny finish. MAC Vivid Imagination is more opaque, slightly brighter. Bobbi Brown Pink Orchid is a touch lighter. Guerlain Rose Piquant is similar. Chanel Charme is similar in color, a touch cooler, and more shimmery.Read Full Review
Dior Charmante (437) Dior Addict Lipstick
Dior Charmante (437) Dior Addict Lipstick ($31.00 for 0.12 oz.) is described as a "soft coral." It's a shiny, soft coral with strong peach/orange coloring. On my lips, which have some natural pinkness but are not overly red or pigmented, it enhances the natural pinkness and adds warmth, but it looks very, very natural–if you compare bare lips to the swatch photo, you'll see a definite difference, but from afar, you wouldn't go, "Oh, she's wearing color!" Bobbi Brown Pink Seashell is paler. MAC Razzledazzler is more pigmented.Read Full Review
Guerlain Ballade (600) Rouge Automatique Lipstick
Guerlain Ballade (600) Rouge Automatique Lipstick ($35.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a warm-toned, rosy coral with a frosted finish. Applied, it seems to take on a rosier appearance (less coral) due to the natural pink tones in my lip color. Chanel Orchidee is redder. Revlon Pink Truffle is comparable in color but has a glossier, less frosted finish. Thierry Mugler Feeling is brighter. NARS Mayflower has less frost and is a touch redder. Rimmel Latino is less warm-toned.Read Full Review
Guerlain Flirt (761) Shine Automatique Lipstick
Guerlain Flirt (761) Shine Automatique Lipstick ($35.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a fuchsia-berry with iridescent fuchsia shimmer. Clinique Grandest Grape is redder and doesn't have shimmer. MAC Rebel is nearly identical in color but doesn't have the fuchsia shimmer. Guerlain Guet-Apens is redder, less berry. Guerlain Nuit d'Amour is a bit darker, redder, less shimmery.Read Full Review
Chanel Merveille Rouge Allure Extrait de Gloss
Chanel Merveille Rouge Allure Extrait de Gloss ($32.00 for 0.28 fl. oz.) is described as a "lilac rosewood." It is a reddened plum with soft pink shimmer. Bobbi Brown Naked Plum is very similar, but it is a sheerer formula, so it looks lighter applied. MAC Lap of Luxury is a touchd arker and has less shimmer.Read Full Review

Ovary Removal Tied to Colon Cancer Risk
May 4, 2016,
Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) is an inflammatory disorder. It involves pain and stiffness in the shoulder and often the hip.
Polymyalgia rheumatica most often occurs in people over 50 years old. The cause is unknown.
PMR may occur before or with giant cell arteritis (also called temporal arteritis), in which blood vessels that supply blood to the head become inflamed.
The most common symptom is pain and stiffness in both shoulders and the neck. This pain usually progresses to the hips. Fatigue is also present. People with this condition find it increasingly hard to move around.
Other symptoms include:
There is no cure for polymyalgia rheumatica. Low doses of corticosteroids (such as prednisone) can ease symptoms within a day or two. The dose can then be slowly reduced to a very low level, but treatment needs to continue for about 2 to 6 years.
Corticosteroids can cause many side effects, so you need to be watched closely if you are taking these medicines.
There is no known prevention.

Chakra help?
Started by Ireckon , Feb 10 2013 11:44 AM
1 reply to this topic
Posted 10 February 2013 - 11:44 AM
Tis may sound a bit vague, but I feel like I need some help cleansing my chakras. I have no idea where to start, or what to do.
I have been very overwhelmed of late, and th are a few physical signs that are becoming more frequent, and I feel this line of healing is what I need to look into.
Can anyone advise?
Posted 23 February 2013 - 05:40 PM
The easiest way to cleanse your Chakra's is with colour, find somewhere quiet where you can sit without being interrupted and meditate with coloured light, Example start with your crown, and visualise violet light cleansing and circulating around that chakra, when you feel ready move to the next, third eye and repeat with the appropriate coloured light. You can also use crystals if you have them to support the energy and intention, it is easier the lay down, if you are using crystal, they stay on better LOL.
Crown, top of head, Violet, Amethyst
Third eye, centre of forehead, Indigo, Sodalite, Lapis
Throat, centre of throat, light blue, Angelite
Heart, centre of chest, Green and pink, rose quartz
Solar plex, over diaphragm, yellow, yellow jasper
Sacral, just below belly button, orange Calcite
Root/Base, just above pubic bone, red jasper
Note: the crystals mentioned are only examples, your can intuitively choose other stones that suit your own intentions. I also always use a clear quartz above my head, to help stay centred and an hematite between my ankles to stay grounded.

How does our Hall of Shame 2010 compare to previous years? Read them and weep.
Names like Josh McDaniels, Scott McInnis and Jamie Paulin-Ramirez made us cringe this year, committing dastardly deeds or generally making fools of themselves and the Centennial State.
And as such, they've been inducted into our Hall of Shame 2010 (available right now from newstands).
But can you remember who embarrassed Colorado in previous years?
Well, Richard "Balloon Boy" Heene topped the list in 2009; while former judge Edward "Naughty" Nottingham turned a lot of faces red in 2008. And in 2007, it was tubercular frequent flier Andrew Speaker.

As computational modeling plays an increasingly central role in biochemical research, it is important to provide students with exposure to common modeling methods in their undergraduate curriculum. This article describes a series of computer labs designed to introduce undergraduate students to energy minimization, molecular dynamics simulations, and homology modeling. These labs were created as part of a one-semester course on the molecular modeling of biochemical systems. Students who completed these activities felt that they were an effective component of the course, reporting improved comfort with the conceptual background and practical implementation of the computational methods. Although created as a component of a larger course, these activities could be readily adapted for a variety of other educational contexts. As well, all of these labs utilize software that is freely available in an academic environment and can be run on fairly common computer hardware, making them accessible to teaching environments without extensive computational resources.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Global trade rules need to keep up with rapid innovation in software-driven products and services such as cloud computing and data analytics, according to a new report from BSA | The Software Alliance. To stop the spread of digital protectionism, BSA proposes a forward-looking trade agenda that enables digital commerce, promotes innovation and creates level playing fields for information technology.
"Software-driven technologies are sparking transformative innovation throughout the economy and in all aspects of modern life. To capture the maximum possible benefit from these advances, governments need to foster rather than inhibit digital trade," said BSA President and CEO Victoria Espinel. "We need modern trade rules that prevent new forms of IT-focused protectionism and ensure information can flow freely across borders."
"With regional agreements being negotiated in the Atlantic and Pacific, plus separate talks on services and IT products, we have a historic opportunity to craft the right trade agenda for the digital age," Espinel said. "Agreements that recognize the transformative impact of digital trade will empower enterprises of all sizes to innovate and grow, give consumers access to the world's best products and services, create jobs and improve quality of life."
BSA's report, titled "Powering the Digital Economy: A Trade Agenda to Drive Growth," catalogues examples of digital protectionism that undercut the social and economic benefits of software-enabled products and services. Examples of these non-traditional market barriers include restrictions on the flow of information across borders, nationalistic technology-certification and standard-setting policies, and favoritism for local IT products and services in government procurement.
To spur trade in digital age products and services, BSA outlines a three-part agenda:
- First, modernize trade rules to reflect the realities of digital commerce as it is being conducted today. This requires facilitating trade in innovative services such as cloud computing, keeping borders open to the free flow of data, and preventing mandates on where servers or other computing infrastructure must be located.
- Second, promote the continued progress of technology innovation. For this, a trade agenda must secure modern intellectual property protections and encourage the use of voluntary, market-led technology standards.
- Third, create level playing fields for all competitors. That requires governments to lead by example. They should be fully transparent in how they choose which technologies to buy, basing decisions on whether a product or service best meets their needs and provides good value, not on where the technology was developed.
"Any country that wants to compete globally in the information age needs a comprehensive digital agenda that includes forward-looking trade policies," Espinel said. "Governments must recognize that walling off information in a networked world is self-defeating; no national economy can grow as fast in isolation as it can with solid trade relationships."
The full report is available at: www.bsa.org/digitaltrade.
