Obama Urges Senate to Adopt Expedited Nominations Rule
President Barack Obama urged the Senate in his State of the Union address Tuesday to adopt a rule to expedite the confirmation process for judicial and public service nominees, which often has been stalled by partisan political battles.
Here is his proposal, from a White House transcript of his speech:
"Some of what's broken has to do with the way Congress does its business these days. A simple majority is no longer enough to get anything -– even routine business –- passed through the Senate. Neither party has been blameless in these tactics. Now both parties should put an end to it. For starters, I ask the Senate to pass a simple rule that all judicial and public service nominations receive a simple up or down vote within 90 days."
Doug Kendall of the Constitutional Accountability Center praised the proposal, according to a Blog of Legal Times post, saying it "would benefit presidents of both political parties and the judiciary. Unprecedented obstruction by conservatives in the Senate have blocked even President Obama's most uncontroversial judicial nominees, and has brought the judiciary to the breaking point."
In the BLT post, Tony Mauro wrote that five Supreme Court justices were in the audience, and "Obama and the cameras largely ignored" them, unlike two years ago when the president criticized to justices' faces the court's Citizens United ruling.
"Obama … did decry the 'corrosive influence of money in politics,' but instead of blaming the high court, he pointed to several proposals for legislative fixes," BLT reported.No comments
No End in Sight for Controversy Over 2 Obama Judicial Picks
Growing resistance by progressive groups and African-American lawmakers to two of President Obama's nominees for the federal district court in Georgia has become a national news story. A New York Times article about the dust-up suggests it will not be receding any time soon.
Gavel Grab has mentioned the swirling controversy over the nominations of Georgia Court of Appeals Judge Michael Boggs and Atlanta attorney Mark Cohen. "The conflict is the latest twist in a struggle over confirmations," the Times reports, highlighting both the limited ability of Democrats to push through judicial nominations after changing the Senate rules last year to make it easier to do so; and the ability of minority party senators to block judicial nominations through the Senate's traditional "blue-slip" process.
Cohen has come under fire for successfully defending a Georgia voter identification law, and Judge Boggs for conservative stances when Read moreNo comments
More Flux, Infighting in Senate Over Judicial Nominations
In the countdown to the Senate's planned adjournment for the holidays, partisanship over judicial nominees has escalated again, and it has at least momentarily subsided too, and the nomination of Judge Robert Wilkins to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals may get a vote … but not until the New Year.
Because things can change hourly in the Senate at times like these, Gavel Grab will just attempt to capture the latest headlines of activity:
- NOMINATIONS HEARING: On Wednesday, Republicans used an obscure rule to block a Senate Judiciary Commission confirmation hearing on five judicial nominees, including candidates with support from Republicans. Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt. and the chairman, became furious and threatened to consider changing committee rules. Then, Republicans dropped their objections and the hearing was re-scheduled for Thursday morning.
- PACKAGE DEAL? If Senate Democrats secure a deal with Republicans, four nominees including Judge Brian Davis for a federal district judgeship in Florida could get up-or-down votes before the Senate heads home for the holidays. Read more
Obama Record: Diversity Gains on Federal Bench Noted
As the U.S. Senate votes on a backlog of judicial nominations, President Obama's White House is touting the president's record for increasing diversity on the federal bench.
"The president wants the federal courts to look like America," said White House spokesman Eric Schultz, according to a Wall Street Journal Washington Wire blog post.
The Senate had confirmed only one openly gay judge to the federal bench before Obama took office. In his administration, by contrast, the president has nominated 10 openly gay federal judges, and the Senate has confirmed seven of them.
In addition, the blog reported, 43 percent of Obama's judicial nominees whom the Senate confirmed have been women, and that surpasses the rates of his predecessors. Last week, the Senate confirmed Patricia Millett and Cornelia "Nina" Pillard to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, operating under new rules that curb the minority party's use of filibusters to block nominations.No comments
Effects of New Senate Rules on Judicial Nominations Unclear
Now that the Senate filibuster rules have changed, many are wondering if that means the three nominees to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals will be quickly confirmed.
According to The Hill blog, the nominees most likely will be confirmed, but as one former senior administration official said, "…with some blood on the wall."
Justice at Stake Director of Federal Affairs and Diversity Initiatives Praveen Fernandes says the change offers the potential for profound benefits for a federal judiciary plagued with a 10 percent vacancy rate. (Video: Fernandes discusses rule change implications)
Political fallout over judicial nominations is already being seen across the country.
The Washington Times reports that, "Conservative groups are looking to make the Capitol Hill battle over President Obama's judicial nominees an issue in Senate elections in 2014 by arguing that red-state Democrats are 'rubber-stamping' liberal judges."
The Judicial Crisis Network has already announced a round of ads attacking Sen. Mary L. Landrieu in Louisiana for supporting all of Mr. Obama's judicial picks. The group warns that she and other Democrats will have to be careful going forward about which judges they approve.
Others believe the judicial fight likely won't be a big issue in the 2014 elections.
"Unless the nominee is extremely controversial, which none of Obama's have been, it's a real stretch," said Mark McKinnon, a GOP strategist. "Otherwise, it is expected that representatives vote for their party nominees. Generally, it's just way off voters' radar screens."No comments
Senate Filibuster Rules Change Continues to Stoke Debate
Recent Senate action to eliminate filibusters of most nominees for federal judgeships is continuing to generate intense debate. The issue's high profile is reflected in numerous media pieces, including a veteran legal journalist's strong critique of an earlier commentary by a prominent federal appeals judge.
In The Atlantic online, Andrew Cohen takes issue with the opinion of Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson III of the Fourth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, whose Washington Post op-ed said the rules change would leave a harmful and severe impact on the federal judiciary (see Gavel Grab). Judge Wilkinson's views were summed up by the op-ed headline, "Bipartisan approval lends a sense of balance to the judiciary."
According to Cohen, Judge Wilkinson's essay "is a polemic against what Senate Democrats accomplished last week. It frets about the possibility of future partisanship while ignoring the devastating impact recent Senate partisanship has had upon the nation's judges. Worse, it omits the judge's own role in a version of this fight that unfolded at the end of the Clinton administration. Judge Wilkinson, it turns out, isn't exactly an impartial witness in this dispute." Read moreNo comments
U.S. Judge: Severe Harm for Courts From Senate Rules Change
A harmful, severe impact on the federal judiciary will result from a Senate rules change eliminating filibusters of most nominees for judgeships (see Gavel Grab), a prominent federal appeals court judge says.
J. Harvie Wilkinson III of the Fourth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, who was among finalists considered by President George W. Bush for elevation to the U.S. Supreme Court, gives his opinion in a Washington Post op-ed entitled, "Bipartisan approval lends a sense of balance to the judiciary."
Wilkinson writes that the rules change eliminated a balancing impact of the prior requirement for bipartisan support in order for a lower-court or appeals court judge to be confirmed: "Given that the ballot box is an imperfect guarantor of the bent or character of judicial appointments, any incentive to place jurists of moderate persuasion on the courts must come from the need to attract Senate support across the aisle. Last week, that need was much diminished." Read moreNo comments
Will Senate Impasse Lead to Rules Change on Filibusters?
U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is considering, in the wake of Senate Republicans' recent derailment of three of President Obama's nominees for a highly influential appeals court, calling for a vote that could make it harder for the minority party to filibuster a president's nominees.
If Reid seeks the vote and it is successful, the shift in rules likely would apply to federal judges and executive branch appointees such as cabinet members, but not Supreme Court justices, the New York Times reported.
Critics have called such a vote the "nuclear option" because it would upend Senate tradition and is highly controversial. The term refers to employing a simple majority vote to revise filibuster rules, rather than the 67-vote majority typically required under Senate rules for such a change.
To learn about Senate Republicans blocking three nominees to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit along largely partisan lines, see Gavel Grab. On PBS, meanwhile, a Newshour segment focused on the impact of blocked judicial nominations. It included an exchange of views between Caroline Fredrickson, president of the American Constitution Society for Law and Policy, and Carrie Severino, chief counsel and policy director of the Judicial Crisis Network.

Politics, Pressure Surround D.C. Circuit Court Nominations
With Senate votes on D.C. Circuit Court nominees Cornelia Pillard and Robert Wilkins looming, the superheated political atmosphere around the nomination process (see Gavel Grab) gets an examination in a New York magazine piece. The article, entitled, "What's at Stake in the Nuclear Showdown," notes that the D.C. Circuit Court's "unique importance" has intensified the battle over President Obama's nominees. Of particular interest is the court's likely role at the center of a fight over climate-change policy. The piece notes that the Environmental Protection Agency is expected to issue regulations on existing power plants, and an anticipated challenge to those rules would land in the D.C. Circuit's docket. According to Senate staff sources, a cloture vote on the Pillard nomination is expected at 5:30 pm today. Depending on whether Democrats are able to garner the 60 votes required to end debate and proceed to a vote on the merits of the nomination, there may also be a subsequent up-down confirmation vote.
Meanwhile, an article in Politico notes that opponents of the current D.C. Circuit nominees are taking hardball tactics to Senators' home states. The conservative Judicial Crisis Network will begin airing television ads in Arkansas targeting U.S. Senator Mark Pryor's support for the nominations. The unusual ad campaign is reportedly being run at a cost of over $100,000, and targets Pryor ahead of a 2014 reelection bid.No comments
Third Obama Nominee for D.C. Circuit to Face Senate Hearing
U.S. District Court Judge Robert Wilkins was easily confirmed to the bench in 2010, but his nomination for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia is likely to generate more controversy at a Senate hearing next week.
The Blog of Legal Times made that forecast. It also renewed widespread speculation that if Senate Republicans move to block all three of President Obama's recent nominees to the D.C. Circuit Court, it could bring a showdown with Democrats and a move by the latter to change rules over filibusters of judicial nominations.
Judge Wilkins faces a hearing of the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday. You can learn about the recent hearings of Obama's other two nominees by clicking here for Gavel Grab posts about Patricia Millett and by clicking here for posts about Cornelia Pillard.No comments

Game of Thrones is a site for the HBO-series based on George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire.
New to the series? Read our spoiler-free review of A Game of Thrones.
Read our Privacy Policy.
This teaser was solid—some nice images reacquainting ourselves with a number of characters from the first season, and prominently featuring a brand new one in Stannis Baratheon—but it was definitely a tease.
Still, we've extracted all the most notable images from the teaser, and have them up at our Previews gallery, with our usual commentary. Most of the comments are quite brief—what's left to be said, right?—but we do have some thoughts on Stephen Dillane as Stannis, and some guesses as to what scenes are being shown in some cases. Check it out!
As an added bonus, we thought we'd transcribe Stannis's monologue:
Some of the phrases here do come from the novel—the second sentence in particular. The last sentence, too, which gives the teaser its name… but its never actually used by Stannis, but instead is repeated several times by men of the Night's Watch. I find that one particularly interesting, as it more explicitly connects Stannis's purpose to the threat of winter and the Others—something that isn't stated in such a direct way, in A Clash of Kings.
The Westeros network consists of several different sites, including a forum and a wiki, for all your A Song of Ice and Fire needs.

WATERTOWN, WI—The women's volleyball team suffered their first home loss of the season Tuesday night, losing 2-3 in a close match against Wisconsin Lutheran. "After winning sets 1 & 2," states head coach Regina DeLozier after the defeat, "we just couldn't seem to find enough attacks to get the job done tonight." The Crusaders defeated the Warriors soundly in the first two sets, but then lost three straight to tally their eighth loss of the season.
After a back and forth first set, the Crusaders finished on a 6-0 run, punctuated by a Warrior error that sealed the victory for Maranatha at 25-15. The momentum would surge on throughout most of the second set, providing the Crusaders with 3-0 and 4-0 runs that culminated in a 25-21 victory.
After a special breast cancer awareness halftime activity for the fans, however, the Crusaders could not find that same winning touch, and never led during the course of the third set. The Warriors would start out on a 5-0 run, and continue their runs until victory at 25-20.
Wisconsin Lutheran proved to be too much for the Crusaders yet again in the fourth, trailing only once in the entire set before sealing the victory at 25-20 to even the match at two games apiece.
The tiebreaker set favored the Warriors from the very beginning. Building an initial 4-1 lead, Wisconsin Lutheran never trailed in the final set, winning 15-10. The Crusaders fought hard, however, and at one point climbed back to the tune of 8-10. But a big call by the line judge that was overruled by the side official pushed the score to 8-11, which was good enough for the Warriors to take home the match.
"We had some really good back row defense tonight," says Coach DeLozier. "Good block touches and aggressiveness on our pursuit—just couldn't finish the job." This good defense began with sophomore Samantha Swiatek (Walled Lake, MI.), who led the Crusaders with 25 digs. Senior Laci Peterson (Chillicothe, IL.) drove the Crusader offense, finishing with 19 kills and 2 blocks.
Wisconsin Lutheran was led by senior Erin Greenfield (Wauwatosa, WI.) with 19 kills and 11 digs. The Warrior defense was anchored by freshman Megan Wierzbicki (Hartford, WI.) with 26 digs.
The Crusaders fall to 14-8 overall, and suffer their first loss in seven games dating back to September 27th. The team will head to the Grace Bible College Classic this weekend in Grand Rapids, MI., to compete in a tri-meet against the likes of Emmaus, Grace Bible, and Ohio Christian.

MOTORCYCLE AND ATV DEALERS expect business to improve if Republican candidate Mitt Romney wins the White House, according to the Baird/Dealernews Q3 Powersports Dealer Survey.
Nearly 60 percent of dealers responding to the survey said that a Romney White House would be better for business. Only 14 percent indicated such if President Barack Obama is re-elected.
"Dealers see better business with a Romney win," said Baird researchers.
Dealers are wary that the U.S. economy could slump into another recession if Obama wins. "Everyone seems to be waiting until this election is over to get back to buying something," said a motorcycle and scooter dealer. "With the present administration's anti-business stance, if Obama is re-elected it could mean another nasty recession."
"The people with money invested in this economy would breathe a sigh of relief that might loosen the purse strings," said another dealer. "We didn't layoff [staff] due to the economy as much as we did because they raised minimum wage."
"Whoever wins, they need to do something to control the price of gas," said one respondent. "A lot of my customers complain about how much it costs just to get to the camp or second home, let alone play with the motor toys once they get [there.] The $40-$50 extra a week for gas is the same money as a payment for a new ATV or snowmobile."
Nearly one in five answering the survey, however, remained unsure. Just 11 percent of dealers indicated they anticipated little or no impact on their business as a result of the November 2012 election. "Regardless of who wins in November, Washington has to actually accomplish something," said one dealer.
The Baird/Dealernews Powersports Dealer Survey provides a quarterly snapshot of overall dealer health in North America. It is a joint research venture betweenDealernews and Robert W. Baird & Co. Dealers in the U.S. and Canada are surveyed to provide insight into traffic, retail, inventory, credit and sentiment, providing hard data and field commentary behind current business trends. "Our goal is to provide the powersports industry with honest views from the people that make it happen every day – the dealers," Baird stated.

This image provided by NASA/JPL-Caltech shows a simulation of asteroid 2012 DA14 approaching from the south as it passes through the Earth-moon system on Friday, Feb. 15, 2013. The 150-foot object will pass within 17,000 miles of the Earth. NASA scientists insist there is absolutely no chance of a collision as it passes. (AP Photo/NASA/JPL-Caltech)
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) -- The world is safe - at least from one asteroid.
A 150-foot cosmic rock hurtled safely past Earth on Friday.
It was the closest known flyby for a rock of its size, passing within 17,000 miles. That's closer than some satellites.
The flyby occurred just hours after a much smaller meteor exploded above Russia's Ural Mountains.
Astronomers say the two events were coincidental, and the objects were traveling in opposite directions. At least one scientist called it an exciting day and "like a shooting gallery here."
The asteroid was invisible to astronomers in the United States at the time of its closest approach on the opposite of the world. But in Australia, astronomers used binoculars and telescopes to watch the point of light speed across the clear night sky.

Bafana Bafana held Australia to a 1-1 draw in an international friendly at the ANZ Stadium in Sydney on Monday.
Ayanda Patosi's first goal in a Bafana shirt was cancelled out by record goal scorer Tim Cahill in what was the Australian's farewell game before heading to the World Cup.
The Socceroos, who fielded a relatively inexperienced starting XI, forced Bafana Bafana onto the back foot from the onset, with Senzo Meyiwa forced into a string of saves in the opening exchanges.
Bafana Bafana, though, took the lead against the run of play in the 13th minute through Patosi, who bagged his first international goal.
Tokelo Rantie ran onto a ball from Thulani Serero before cutting inside and setting up Patosi, who curled the ball into the back of the net via the inside of the post.
The Socceroos hit back immediately, with Cahill out-jumping Meyiwa to a hopeful ball into the area to net the 32nd international goal of his career.
Australia continued to dominate proceedings in what was their penultimate warm-up match before the showpiece event in Brazil, but to their credit Bafana showed glimpses of regaining the lead, but were guilty of trying to be too cute in and around the penalty area.
Bafana made their intentions clear following the break as Patosi went within inches of restoring the visitors lead with a crisp strike from range.
Australia looked the more likely to score next, but they failed to find a way past a determined Bafana Bafana outfit in front of over 50,000 spectators who gathered to wish the Socceroos well.
Australia were drawn Group B alongside World Cup holders Spain, 2010 runners-up the Netherlands and an impressive-looking Chile outfit.
The Socceroos next face Croatia while Bafana clash with the All Whites of New Zealand in four days' time.

Milburn knocked down two treys on her way to 18 points and Fleming poured in 17 points for Asher, which pounded the Lady Hornets in the first quarter to open up a 12-point lead.
Macomb matched Asher for 15 points in the second quarter before a 13-6 Lady Indians spurt pushed the game out of reach.
Asher's Kasadi Reimers notched seven points, while teammates Gabby Yott and Alicia Huggins each posted six by nailing two 3-pointers.
Shania Pace led the Lady Hornets with 15 points. Kelsea Hasbell chipped in eight and Felicia Cope added six.

mouse problem
i'm having a mouse problem. not the flesh-n-blood kind. i haven't heard them in the ceiling lately. maybe they've been driven off by the vibrations from the construction upstairs. no i mean the plastic kind.
i remember when a mouse was a mechanical thing with a heavy rubber-coated ball inside it, and when it got dirty you could just unscrew the retainer to clean it with a cloth. the mouse i have now, i picked up a few months ago at the apple store in burlington massachusetts. instead of a mechanical ball it has a little red light on the underside, and instead of a scroll wheel it has a tiny trackball on top, which lets you scroll in four directions, north south east and west. cool. once i got used to that i really found it handy. now its north rotor has jammed or something, so i can scroll everywhere but up. that's pesky. i would consider trying to crack it open to see what jammed it, but i have no clue how to open this one. maybe once i get paid i'll just go to the shop try to buy another of the same mouse, and hope it lasts longer. or maybe i should just subscribe to mouse-of-the-month club.
my friend ot in italy says she has found a boy she likes to look at, and likes to have him look at her, and doesn't really feel the need to speak to him much. sometimes it's nice just to look at someone you like.

Analysis: Arab view bleaker than ever
Whatever coalition emerges from this week's election, the new government's tenure promises to be a bleak period with scant progress towards a negotiated solution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, according to analysts on both sides of the divide.
The election is part of a process under way since the breakdown of the Camp David talks in 2000 in which hard-liners on both sides are fuelling each other. The intifada brought Ariel Sharon to power, while Sharon's policies contributed to the victory of Hamas in the January 2006 Palestinian elections.
The shift to the right embodied in the election results reflects the assessment of many Israelis that peace with the Palestinians is impossible for now; that a perceived concession in withdrawal from Gaza blew up in Israel's face; that there is no partner between a Hamas that wants to see Israel destroyed and a hapless President Mahmoud Abbas, who cannot deliver the backing of his people; and that the firing of rockets means there is little to talk about and overwhelming force is the right response.
Land for peace, the cornerstone of Middle East diplomacy since 1967, received a stinging setback on Tuesday. The shrinking of Meretz, advocacating compromise and diplomacy, and the growth of Yisrael Beiteinu, espousing an iron fist, points up the change.
The problems on the Palestinian side, foremost among them the Hamas-Fatah infighting, were already daunting for anyone — including the new Obama administration — hoping to resuscitate peace diplomacy. The elections have highlighted the difficulties on the Israeli side.
"This election ensures that there cannot be in power an Israeli government capable of seriously negotiating with the Palestinians," says Yossi Alpher, former director of the Jaffee Centre for Strategic Studies. A Likud-Yisrael Beiteinu government will not want to. And if Tzipi Livni joins with Netanyahu, he can be expected to block her from doing so.
Arguing that it was time to put a stop to dangerous concessions, Netanayahu put the brakes on the Oslo peace process during his first tenure from 1996 to 1999 and he has now made clear he intends to replace talks on Palestinian statehood with a focus on West Bank economic development.
The main casualty of this will be Abbas who will no longer be able to maintain even the illusion that there is a peace process, something on which he has staked all of his credibility. His presidential term expired last month while his critically ill political agenda has now expired with the election.
Hamas and regional hard-liners are already saying 'we told you so'.
"There is a radicalisation process on two sides, with one reinforcing the other," says Ghassan Khatib, former Palestinian Authority labour minister. "The results of the election would confirm the argument Hamas is putting forward that Israel is not interested in negotiations, that it is interested in fighting and that force is the only language the Israelis understand."

Roger struggles into third round
Roger was two points from an exit from the Monte Carlo Masters on Wednesday before rallying to beat Spanish qualifier Ruben Ramirez Hidalgo 6-1, 3-6, 7-6 to reach the third round.
The world number one was 5-4 and 30-15 down in the third set before his opponent, ranked 137th by the ATP, crumbled under the pressure.
He eventually won the tiebreak 7-1, wrapping it up after two hours and three minutes on his first match point when Ramirez Hidalgo sent a forehand wide.
"I felt a bit slow out there. He played so badly in the first set that he almost faked me out," Roger told reporters. "But when he served for the match it became tough on him."
"I'm disappointed by the way I played but tomorrow is a new match, a new day, a new opponent. And so far, it's six matches and six wins on clay so I'm happy."
I did not watch the match as I was at work. But I can imagine how it all felt for you being out there and almost losing to a very low ranked player and what is more in the second round.
All I can say at this point is stay focused. That

How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #7
Not for the first time, he wonders whether women would not be happier living in communities of women, accepting visits from men only when they choose. Perhaps he is wrong to think of Lucy as homosexual. Perhaps she simply prefers female company. Or perhaps that is all that lesbians are: women who have no need of men. (12.45)
What catches our attention here is the idea that David has already considered whether or not women are better off without men. How does this reflect on his own actions?
Quote #8
No wonder they were so vehement against rape, she and Helen. Rape, god of chaos and mixture, violator of seclusions. Raping a lesbian worse than raping a virgin: more of a blow. Did they know what they were up to, those men? Had the word got around? (12.46)
David, via the narrator, brings up an interesting argument here: rape is undoubtedly an unwanted sexual act in any case, but is it possible that the rape of a lesbian is an especially horrific and unwanted act, making it more of a violation? Is it fair to say that it is worse than raping a virgin? Is it OK for him to be making these comparisons at all?
Quote #9
Like a stain the story is spreading across the district. Not her story to spread but theirs: they are its owners. How they put her in her place, how they showed her what a woman was for. (14.22)
Once more, we get a hypothetical vision of the perspectives of characters we don't actually talk to. Here, David imagines the rapists taking pleasure in the fact that they put Lucy in her place, who was then too ashamed to get help. This is a great example of David's growing awareness of other men's negative attitudes towards women. Perspectives like these reinforce David's growing sense of feminism as the novel progresses.

moreJournalist and Salon writer Rebecca Traister investigates the 2008 presidential election and its impact on American politics, women and cultural feminism. Examining the role of women in the campaign, from Clinton and Palin to Tina Fey and young voters, Traister confronts the tough questions of what it means to be a woman in today's America.
The 2008 campaign for the presidency reopened some of the most fraught American conversations—about gender, race and generational difference, about sexism on the left and feminism on the right—difficult discussions that had been left unfinished but that are crucial to further perfecting our union. Though the election didn't give us our first woman president or vice president, the exhilarating campaign was nonetheless transformative for American women and for the nation. In Big Girls Don't Cry, her electrifying, incisive and highly entertaining first book, Traister tells a terrific story and makes sense of a moment in American history that changed the country's narrative in ways that no one anticipated.
Throughout the book, Traister weaves in her own experience as a thirtysomething feminist sorting through all the events and media coverage—vacillating between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama and questioning her own view of feminism, the women's movement, race and the different generational perspectives of women working toward political parity. Electrifying, incisive and highly entertaining, Big Girls Don't Cry offers an enduring portrait of dramatic cultural and political shifts brought about by this most historic of American contests. less

Atendency to think that it is less important for girls to be physically fit than boys was critized by a young woman physican who is a former Olympic figure skating gold medalist.
Tenley Albright, MD, Boston, Mass, a champion in the 1956 Olympics, told the sixth National Conference on the Medical Aspects of Sports in Miami Beach, "We want to prepare girls for their role of being the mothers of strong, healthy men."
Albright, the daughter of a physician, is now practicing general surgery with her father, but she maintains a strong interest in sports medicine "because so many of us are interested in not just being disease-free, but in making the most of feeling our best."
Speaking on a panel concerning sports for the teenager, the MD-champion ice skater explained, "Sports medicine is studying girls and their physiology with the idea of answering what is safe, sensible, and possible

A Quote by Augustus William Hare on country, questions, and wishes
The question is not whether a doctrine is beautiful but whether it is true. When we wish to go to a place, we do not ask whether the road leads through a pretty country, but whether it is the right road.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph Waldo Emerson Trivia
Brain Snacks: Tasty Tidbits of Knowledge
Though long attributed to him, the poem "Father We Thank Thee" ("For flowers that bloom about our feet,/ Father, We Thank Thee./ For tender grass so fresh, so sweet,/ Father, We Thank Thee") was not written by Emerson. No one knows who really wrote it.14
After their wedding, The Scarlet Letter author Nathaniel Hawthorne and his wife Sophia moved into the Old Manse, a house owned by Emerson's uncle Samuel Ripley.15
Emerson's emphasis on transcendence sometimes came at the cost of reality. When Emerson visited the dying Nathaniel Hawthorne and found him too frail to pull on his own boots, he lectured him about inner strength instead of just helping his sick friend put his shoes on.16
Emerson read Walt Whitman's draft of Leaves of Grass and thought it was genius; however, he told Whitman to cut the parts Emerson thought were too sexy. Whitman refused.17
Emerson has good company at Sleepy Hollow Cemetery in Concord. His neighbors in the "Authors' Ridge" section of the cemetery include Henry David Thoreau, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Bronson Alcott and Louisa May Alcott.18
At their first meeting, Emerson asked a young Harvard student named Henry David Thoreau if he kept a journal. From then on, Thoreau kept one for the rest of his life.19

VOICES: Leisa Aiken, On Charging By The Hour
Leisa Aiken is the founder and principal of Chicago-based Veo Financial Counsel. She spoke with WSJ Financial Adviser about charging an hourly rate versus an asset-based fee.
I had a long corporate career, during which I worked at a few firms that charged on assets under management before I started my own practice and began charging by the hour.
In some ways, charging by the hour is the toughest business model when you're a financial planner. Increasingly, however, charging by the hour makes more sense as a business decision. And I think it eventually is going to outstrip the AUM model.
There are two main pockets of clients who don't fit into the AUM model of advising: people who don't have the minimum asset requirement to work with an AUM adviser, and people who might have the minimum requirement but want to play an active role in managing their money. A lot of my clients are already investing-savvy when they come to me, and they are looking for a second opinion, not someone to make their financial decisions for them.
One of the things I like about charging by the hour is that you rarely have 10% or more of your revenues tied up with one client. Another big plus of charging by the hour is that your revenue stream is not tied to the stock market. In many ways, charging by the hour is a more secure way of doing business.
If you charge by the hour, every time your client calls you for advice, it's like he or she is choosing to work with you all over again. A client has no reason to stay beyond the fact that they think you are doing a great job. This can be a good thing—it means that it's important to maintain good relationships with your clients, and of course it's really nice to have that freedom from the consumer's point of view. It's more satisfying from both perspectives.
Still, there are advantages of working with assets under management. For the adviser, it's stickier, meaning clients often feel like transferring their assets from one adviser to another would be complicated and messy, so they tend to stay where they are. The advantage for the client is that he or she can delegate more of the work to the adviser. For this reason, I have told prospective clients who aren't interested in being involved in the planning and investing processes that they would be better off working with an adviser who uses AUM.
Another advantage of the AUM model is that you do a lot of the work up front and then you can sit back and reap the rewards as your client's money grows — if you've done a good job, that is. If you charge by the hour, it's the opposite: you make your money in the first few sessions, and if you've done a good job, your client needs your advice less and less. You've always got to be on the lookout for new clients, and, in general, you've got higher overhead because you're working with more people.
In the past, AUM might have been the better business model for advisers in terms of making a large profit, but I believe the future will be different. I see that a lot of the young professional class — including my own 22-year-old — is not interested in delegating everything. They want access to information that will help them do it themselves. That's what people like me are there for.

How The Google Settlement May Ultimately Help Patients
How The Google Settlement May Ultimately Help Patients
08.31.11 | By Kate Connors
Last week, we directed your attention to a settlement Google made with the Department of Justice, in which Google forfeited the money they'd made accepting ads from online Canadian pharmacies.
By opening America's doors to potential counterfeit prescription medicines, this practice put patients in the U.S. in danger.
On the bright side, however, according to an article by Molly Cohen in Drug Industry Daily (subscription only), the agreement may ultimately be good news for patients; it "may strengthen the legal pharmaceutical supply chain and thwart counterfeiters."
According to Cohen's article, under the agreement, "Google will use increased compliance and reporting measures to ensure a similar situation does not occur again."
What a great example of something good resulting from something bad.

By turns brooding, emotive and uplifting, slipping effortlessly between pure instrumentals and vocal driven tracks, London based quintet Talk In Colour defy easy categorisation. Together, the band blends electronic and organic instrumentation into a blistering aesthetic. At times dark then uplifting, their music slips effortlessly between pure instrumentals and vocal driven tracks, bridging the gap between the electronica of early DJ Shadow and the poetic song writing of Joni Mitchell.

A sung-thru Rock Musical
Sara: Early - Mid 30s Female, any ethnicity. MUST SING! An Upper West Side mom who can't quite leave her rock n' roll wild-child past behind. Vital, sexy, and a little tough. A warm and funny mother and wife; unfussy. But she has a reckless streak, and a yearning for the excitement of her youth. A complicated woman.
Narrator: Late 20s - 30s Female, any ethnicity. MUST SING! A soulful, sometimes wry, observer. A woman with a story to tell, and the charisma to draw us in. But there's a large and surprising well of passion beneath her affable demeanor.
Tom: Early - Mid 30s Male, any ethnicity. MUST SING! A sexy, charismatic bar owner. 100% downtown. Not necessarily a bad guy, but certainly a bad boy. A very cool customer; lives life in the moment. But he's getting older, and starting to wonder if there's more to it all.
Michael: Late 30s-early 40s Male, any ethnicity. MUST SING! A kind man, a good dad, the one you marry. Handsome, content, a calming presence. Happy and proud of the life he and SARA have built together. The kind of guy who usually takes the high road, but when he's pushed off it, he is capable of explosive anger.
By Tom Dudzick
December 3 – 28, 2014
Director: David Arisco
Clara Nowak: Female, 60-70 born in Poland but brought to the USA as an infant, the family matriarch, lives (present day) in an old rundown house in the "Hydraulics" section of Buffalo, NY; urban blight has settled in, and this particular dwelling sits behind a neighborhood soup kitchen which used to be a barber shop; there is a charmingly naive Old World peasant air about her.
Jimmy Nowak: Male, early 30s Clara's son, the baby, unmarried, a blue-collar, knock-around kind of guy, a garbage man with a secret of his own who loves to tweak his two older sisters, not a dumb guy at all, just not college material.
Beverly Nowak: Female, early 40s Clara's eldest daughter, unmarried, stereotypical bowling-mad character, frumpy, stirs up the (family) pot.
Ruth Nowak: Female, 30-40 Clara's middle child, unmarried, an aspiring actress, gangly, awkward, and not the type men throw themselves at, but she has an appealing positive energy, a little classier than her brother and sister, but not by much, wants to turn the family story into a work of art on stage.
Book by Terrence McNally, Music by Stephen Flaherty, Lyrics by Lynn Ahrens

Savor the flavors of everyday real food, fresh from the garden or stored on your pantry shelves.
By Sue Van Slooten
sustainability, organic, Victory Gardens, gardening, industrial food, Sue Van Slooten, , Sue Van Slooten
I have just wrapped up the last course in a six-course certificate program on sustainability, so naturally, my thoughts are about how can we maintain what we have or create more sustainability? For the last three and a half years I've seen the ins and outs of our food sources, industrial agriculture, policies, government involvement, food deserts, all the aspects of a dysfunctional food system. At this point I'd like to start a discussion on what is changing, or not, as the case may be.
We've all seen some of the obvious results of conventional farming: Pollution of our water, soil and air by fertilizers and pesticides, a decline in quality of our products, indeed, an outright increase in the disease included with our food. Recalls have become a way of life, outbreaks with serious health consequences are now common. Our farmers have suffered, their income is no longer a living wage, and hasn't been for some time now. Debt is a way of life. There's always the issue of Genetically Modified whatevers and the constant threat from lawsuits or worse should these little beasties get loose. Huge quantities of oil are used to transport these "food items" from one end of the Earth to the other. Third World nations are having their knowledge, land, and lives stolen from them. Even our pets aren't safe: First it was the melamine, with other recalls since then.
Society also has devalued its population, with fewer and few families having a meal together, and indeed, fewer and fewer people who know how to prepare that meal. This is a process that has been underway for decades: In England, most have forgotten how to cook in favour of "take away," the boilable pouch, or something from the deli. I guess you could say at least the English still know how to boil water or use a microwave. Don't get the idea we're any better, we're not. After the downturn of 2008/2009, the scramble to maintain one's lifestyle, as in keeping your job, home and family intact, has become desperate for a lot a families. Cooking won't be job one when you can't afford food.
If you're still with me in this litany of gloom and doom, is there any hope? Am I the only one who doesn't enjoy Arctic Char genes with their cucumber? In short, yes and no. The concepts of sustainable, organic, green, whichever one you pursue, is becoming more mainstream. Genuine organically grown foods, and their demand, have risen over the last few years dramatically. I believe we are past the tipping point, that there is no going back now in organics. One sour note on this topic is that the big boys see green, as in dollars, and have jumped on the organic bandwagon. Of course, one always has to maintain one's vigilance: Is it really organic? (Hint: Knowing your farmer helps. Or growing your own.) Local has also grown by leaps and bounds. While maybe not as far along the sustainable road as organics, it will be there. I hope that it too will soon reach the tipping point. And speaking of growing your own, many more people who never had gardens before, for all of the above reasons, are creating spaces in their yards, balconies, wherever a plant or two (or few) can be put in. Lawns are being turned into raised beds, herb gardens and veggies. Shades of Victory Gardens during WWII.
One often should turn to history for examples of what to do when times get tough, and none have been tougher in recent memory than the Great Depression, WWII, and the current recession (Depression?). This period gives many examples of folks turning to the land in order to survive. It wasn't just the U.S. that did this but other countries as well: Canada, Germany, England, to name a few. The good thing out of all of this is that people will gain skills, they will learn how to garden, what works in their garden, the fun and healthy eating that all comes with the turf (or lack of). Community gardens are on the rise, as city dwellers are getting in on the act, as well as rooftop gardens.
We all have an opportunity, and that is the satisfaction of knowing that we can all exert control, and that control becomes power, on what we eat. I don't care how small someone starts, even if it's only a few pots of herbs on a windowsill or balcony, on up to a huge veggie garden, these are all within our powers. Get the kids involved (just watch though, like a friend of ours had happen, his toddler daughter helped Daddy by picking all his green tomatoes for him) as they love to get outside and help. My raised bed is already to go, and would like my son to make me another!

Revenue from parking charges in Tullamore has fallen by 72%.
At last Monday's quarterly meeting of Tullamore Area Committee, Gabriel Conlon told members that revenue had fallen from $1.4 million to $800,000.
Mr. Conlon was giving a presentation to members on the Tullamore Draft Parking Bye-Laws 2012.
The bye-laws which are on public display until June 22 with the closing date for submissions July 9, will see a number of changes in parking around the town.
These include the introduction of one-hour maximum parking in the center of town, two-hour maximum paid parking in town center residential areas, and 50 cent per half-hour paid parking in all-day car parks.

A five-year-old girl died after a man set fire to a house because he was in a rage over finding his girlfriend lying on a bed with another man a few weeks earlier, Roscommon Circuit Court heard last Tuesday.
Mari Keane-Connolly from 49 Termon Road, Boyle, Co. Roscommon, died after her home "became an inferno" in the early hours of October 3rd, last year.
Teresa Keane, in an emotional victim impact statement, said her daughter "had been killed for nothing" and no apology would bring her back. Abuse was shouted at John Lynch, with an address at 39 Church View in Boyle, when he was led into court.

At the Yeats statue outside a bank in Sligo, Paul Murray was blowing up balloons and trying to explain to a tourist what Yeats Day was all about, with a passing reference to Bloomsday. "In Sligo we have a writer who people actually read," he explained.
The first-ever Yeats Day, billed as a dawn to dusk celebration to mark W.B. Yeats's birthday, had started with a boat trip across Lough Gill to the lake isle of Innisfree and a full Irish breakfast on the menu for passengers (not a nutty gizzard or a urine-scented mutton kidney in sight).
Senator Susan O'Keeffe, the driving force behind the event, said the idea was to give everyone an opportunity to enjoy Yeats, "even the people who know only one Yeats poem".

As her prize, Strand Street resident Emilia Krysztofiak will now spend much of the summer photographing concerts by the likes of Snow Patrol and Florence and the Machine.
Emilia was one of 12 photographers who were shortlisted in the HTC One Hot Press competition last month. This group was then asked to photograph and take video footage of an intimate gig in Dublin by the band Royseven. When their work from the concert was assessed, two overall winners - Emilia, and Sean Conroy - were chosen.

Reliable sources close to Deputy Mick Wallace have confirmed to The Echo that he will not resign his Dail {Irish parliament) seat.
Deputy Wallace was due to deliver a statement to the Dail last Thursday, but Ceann Comhairle Sean Barrett declined the Wexford TD's request to do so as it did not fall within the remit of the Standing Orders cited in his statement June 9.
