White House unveils new policy statement at HLS conference
President Obama's top counter-terrorism adviser, John Brennan, delivered a major address clarifying the administration's counter-terrorism policies and practices—especially the government's targeting of Al Qaeda operatives abroad — in a keynote address at a Harvard Law School conference, "Law, Security, & Liberty After 9/11: Looking to the Future," commemorating the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
Brennan defended a broad conception of where the United States can use military force against members of Al Qaeda and its allies, but he stressed that all the administration's counterterrorism actions are guided by a policy that they be conducted within the rule of law.
"The United States does not view our authority to use military force against Al Qaeda as being restricted solely to 'hot' battlefields like Afghanistan," he said. "Because we are engaged in an armed conflict with Al Qaeda, the United States takes the legal position that — in accordance with international law — we have the authority to take action against Al Qaeda and its associated forces without doing a separate self-defense analysis each time."
Still, he explained, "That does not mean we can use military force whenever we want, wherever we want. International legal principles, including respect for a state's sovereignty and the laws of war, impose important constraints on our ability to act unilaterally — and on the way in which we can use force — in foreign territories."
The speech received widespread attention in the national and international media. One conference attendee, Professor Martin Lederman of Georgetown Law, called Brennan's remarks the "most comprehensive single statement of the Obama Administration's policies and practices with respect to al Qaeda and other terrorist threats."
The conference, held Sept. 16 and 17, marked the launch of the new Project on Law and Security, a joint venture of HLS and the Brookings Institution.
Participants and attendees from academia, government, and nongovernmental organizations examined the impact the attacks and the resulting "war on terror" have had on domestic security, governmental power, international law and legal ethics, and U.S.-Muslim relations.
Project co-director and HLS Professor Gabriella Blum LL.M. '01 S.J.D. '03 began the conference by encouraging attendees not only to reflect on developments of the last 10 years, but to apply lessons learned from our 10 years of counterterrorism efforts to the future.
"9/11 was more than just a remarkably tragic historic event," said HLS Lecturer on Law Juan Carlos Zarate '97, who was the deputy assistant to the president and deputy national security adviser for combating terrorism from 2005 to 2009. "It really was a moment in our history where we realized that transnational, nonstate actors could have major geopolitical impact."
The result, he said, has been "a maturation of the national security paradigm" in which government agencies and law-enforcement bodies work cooperatively in an "all-of-government approach" to fighting terrorism. He said that a similar approach has taken place internationally with the establishment of "multiple platforms of cooperation" in which the U.S. partners with other nations to share intelligence.
On the domestic front, HLS Professor Philip B. Heymann '60 delivered a critical assessment of the war on terror's impact on civil liberties. Americans have come to accept a number of changes—greatly expanded executive powers, including the right to try suspected terrorists who are American citizens before military commissions and expanded governmental surveillance powers—as a result of 9/11, he said.
"I think our liberties are considerable and people can act with a very considerable absence of fear, but the ground is shifting—and it's shifting out of the consequences of fear," he said. "It's shifting because fear outweighs our concerns about living in a tolerably surveillance-free society."
Several participants criticized some politicians for using the war on terror for self-serving political purposes.
"There are two things I never could have predicted on that awful morning in September," said Ben Wizner, litigation director of the ACLU's National Security Project. "The first is that terrorists would not succeed in making another major strike on U.S. soil in the decade to follow. The second is that, to a very large degree, many of our political leaders would behave as if they had succeeded."
The result, he said, is that "we have in effect enshrined a permanent state of emergency in our law and politics in which terrorist threats are not contextualized, in which core values can be set aside next to demands of national security."
A large portion of the conference debate about the war on terror's impact on international law and ethics focused on the acceptance of targeted killings as U.S. policy, including the apparent expanded use of drone aircraft.
Kenneth Anderson '86, professor at American University Washington College of Law, said that one of the lessons of 9/11 is that "we have to address the nonstate-actor threat with the use of force in some circumstances.
"Counterterrorism for us has been a more successful strategy than we probably thought it would be 10 years ago largely through two things: One is the development of technology that has enabled more focused targeting, but more focused targeting through technology that allows us to not fight our way through on the ground through a counterinsurgency war to confront the safe haven."
Anderson said that the current U.S. policy on targeted killings of nonstate actors is one that has been put into place by State Department legal adviser Harold H. Koh '80.
Yale Law School Professor Stephen L. Carter said there are genuine risks in the conduct of targeted killings because they are done in secret.
"They say, 'Trust us,'" he said. "But my view is that 'Trust us' only works up to a certain point. As the war shifts more and more to other drones and other stand off weapons where we take little risk, two things happen: One is that it drops more and more off our radar screen; two, to the extent that it's there, we're asked to place more and more trust in the public officials who have the intelligence that could tell us what led to this particular attack."
Chertoff on the law of 9/11
Former Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff '78 outlined a paradigm shift in the nation's approach to security, which he argued occurred before the attacks of 9/11. In a talk sponsored by the Federalist Society on Sept. 13, Chertoff said the actions of that tragic day only served to highlight "something we hadn't recognized and which the law had not adequately accounted for," and underscored the need for a new legal framework aimed at combating terrorism. Much of the internal fighting about how to approach the war on terror is about whether aspects fall into "the traditional bucket of law enforcement versus the bucket of war," said Chertoff. Instead, he said, we "need a legal flexibility that actually fits the facts," one that is created after a careful consideration of factors rather than one in which you try to "force a novel set of affairs into pre-existing categories."

For the first few minutes last night, Haglund thought that perhaps we were coming out of the starting gate with the mad scene. Giselle scrunched up her face, whined and sniveled uncontrollably, went back and forth between broadly smiling and terribly worried, held herself with rounded shoulders and was, in a nutshell, a very stressed out teenager. But then the dancing began.
Natalia Osipova made her ABT debut as Giselle with David Hallberg's newly-minted Albrecht last night to a packed house that even included Billy Elliot. Haglund went to the theater expecting to see Osipova's already legendary jumps, but he was unprepared for the unusual Act I interpretation of Giselle as helpless and almost infantile. But there's plenty of room for this and many other interpretations, especially when they are accompanied by blazing technique that is intelligently employed for characterization.
Many dancers build their characters like carpenters, pound pound, bang bang. A few carve out their characters like artistic cabinetmakers. Natalia is most certainly a cabinetmaker with every tool bit at her disposal. You may not necessarily like some of the ornateness of the artistry, but you cannot disagree that it is unique, fully thought out, and, yes, it grows on you the more you look at it.
Giselle's Act II awakening spin was the wildest, most explosive tornadic spin that Haglund has ever seen or ever wants to see. Giselle's skirt became a blur like in some Fabrizio Ferri photo. The whole variation was riveting from start to finish. The whole Act II was riveting from start to finish.
And Hallberg! – Never did Haglund expect in a million years this kind of Albrecht to come pouring out of David on what was merely his third performance in the role. Kudos to him and to ABT for the way in which they accommodated Osipova by deferring to her Bolshoi version of the choreography in many, many instances. It made the whole evening that more special.
Hallberg painted the character of Albrecht with huge, emotional, sweeping strokes unlike what we have ever seen from him. The depth of his torment over Giselle's death and the magnitude of his sadness while at her grave was startling. Such a fine performance.
Veronika Part contributed mightily as Myrta with her glorious beauty and expansive leaps.
Jared Matthews as Hilarion was perhaps a bit overwhelmed by what was going on around him. Not a bad performance. But not any where close to what Isaac Stappas accomplishes each time in the role. Jared blew the timing when pointing a maddening Giselle to her mother - probably out of excitement. His Act II variations were well danced but unremarkable in their drama.
The Peasant PdD was acceptable. Hee Seo and Blaine Hoven managed everything securely. His work at the gym is starting to take its toll on his overall line and aesthetic. He still employs flowery arms and wrists, and last night his pointer finger was way out of control. Other than those complaints, Haglund was thrilled to see his gorgeous jumps, sunny smile, articulate feet and sensitive partnering of Hee Seo. Blaine is another favorite who needs a good shove in the right direction before he stumbles off the beaten path to obscurity.
The corps has been sensational most of the week. There has been so much to talk about with regard to principal performances that not enough has been said about the corps. Standouts this week included Sean Stewart, Roman Zhurbin, Eric Tamm, Grant DeLong, Joe Phillips, Julio Bragado-Young, Isabella Boylston, Isadora Loyola, Simone Messmer, Leann Underwood, Renata Pavam, Katherine Williams and the stunning-all-season Luciana Paris.
Haglund only attended six of the eight Giselles this season, but given the large audiences, he hopes it signals to ABT to bring Giselle back again next year. With so many encouraging new principals and returning favorites it would be such a crime not to cut them loose in this again next year. As the story goes, Yogi was sitting in the clubhouse pouring over his ABT subscription brochure. He pushed his cap back, looked up and said, "An ABT season without Giselle is like a World Series without the Yankees – it ain't official."
This week of Giselles deserves the Haglund's Heel Medal of Honor:

i think weddings are really really stupid. the more expensive, the dumber. i think husbands are dumb for letting their girlfreinds force them into marriage not because they want to spend their lives with them, but because they are 'prettier' than their freind that just got married and deserved a chance to outdo her wedding and watch bridal shows all day.

Yup, this is one of the reasons divorce/seperation rates are so high. People spend far too much time engrossed in a dream (wedding, perfect house, perfect kid), andt they don't take time to find the right person to marry...I have seen many marriages come and go...my wife and I are pretty good at predicting outcomes within our social circle.
For me? I think more people should try to buy American/Canadian built cars. The world is eating us alive, and all people can say is "My mom's 88 Caravan was a POS so I am buying a KIA"
We here in NA are losing big time, and our citizens have been burned too many times to help out any more....

When you say buy American, do you mean the Toyota that is built in Texas or the Chevy built in Mexico?
Iphones aren't worth it
Jewelry is the biggest waste of money in the world.
Also, the old adage that an engagement ring is supposed to cost 3 months of the man's salary is not only stupid, but disgustingly so. I know a woman who let it be known that if her boyfriend ever proposed to her with a ring that cost any less, she'd say no. No problem, because he lived at home for years and banked most of his paychecks, so when he did propose, he got her the 3-month-salary rock. I found the whole situation pathetic.
edit: I should mention that this is obviously a very popular opinion with my guy friends and married family members. But most unmarried women I know think I'm out of my mind.

World of Warcraft is the best game ever hands down. It makes all other games boring. I haven't played in a long time, and probably never will again, but only because it's so good.
I know, I know. I am ok with a Toyota built over here, and wouldn't buy a car built in Mexico. Most consumers don't give a crap, though. If the consumer made it a priority when they purchased, manufacturers would put more focus on it.
Don't flame me for the 2 Japanese cars in my sig. As a younger man, I bought these becasue they were great cars. Who knows, I might still make the same decision today.
But as I get older, and have risen in the ranks at my company, I see how hard it can be keeping jobs over here, when your competitors jump ship to China/India/Mexico.
I take pride that we employ tons of skilled labor here in Canada, but that kind of national pride is a lost art, when every customer drives you to the nickel.
These men an women are our family, friends, and our customers. What happens when our economy is based only on spending? Oh wait. we saw that.
Rant over.

You're not out of your mind...I'm glad I married my wife when we were both young and poor. It was about us, not a crazy ideal that the man must pony up for the right to marry a woman. What happen when you base a marriage on such shallow things? I guess I answered my own question.

I think that the life of the mother is far more important that the baby. If the docs came to me and said we can save your wife/gf or your child, I would pick my wife/gf EVERY time.
I agree SC, and to expand on my thoughts: I think the life of a productive member of society is more important then a child's or an unproductive member. Not all life is equal, and some should be taken away.
The value of a life should be judged on what is brought to society.
I think if you're a gang member you should automatically eligible for the death penalty. I've never seen a larger group of uneducated, violent, misled, people in my life, literally willing to kill each other over a matter of a few streets. It's one of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen, and I really thing these gang members need to be eliminated from both the general and prison populations as they have zero intention of ever trying to become productive members of society. Just 100% complete wastes of life that do not even deserve the chance to reform.

Welcome to this week's installment of "Shit I Did When I Wasn't Here". This week, I visited that thing we call real life quite a bit… but I know you aren't here to read about that silly First Life thing.
Big news this week which I touched on in my last post about Clover Windlow resigning from her elected position of Lionheart Estate Chamber of Commerce Chairwoman. As of this post, I am officially instated as her successor and will begin my electoral term immediately.
Thank you to all of the merchant residents who not only voted me as Clover's successor but bigger props to those of you who voted for me twice. I promise to fulfill my role and make good on the things that I promised you – and even on some things not yet revealed! ^_~
Big and awesome changes came to the site today. I know Mason has been working really hard to deliver on the new features on the site… and he and Taliesin have also been working together on the upcoming Vendors. It's such an amazing thing to be apart of. Here's the list:
- New 'Dark Hub' Skin! See the lower right column to change the skin. This one is easier on the eyes if you are in front of your monitor a lot.
- New 'Like' button. Like a post but don't have time to comment? Now you can 'like' it with a single click. See the thumbs up icon at the bottom of any post that allows commenting!
- Picture of the moment. This displays a random picture on the My Hub page from personal profiles that are set to 'public'. It's simple but fun!
- New 'public' feed next to the regular 'personal' feed on your 'My Hub' page. This lets you see public posts and news from all members of the site, even if they are not on your friends or favorites list!
- More space for your profile descriptions! You now have 1200 characters instead of just 500.

Jolly Farm
Last week, Jolly Farm moved into the largest stall at the Ozimals Strawberry Market and it couldn't have been better timing. I'm not sure how much information I'm allowed to divulge yet, so let's just say that Jolly Farm will be amongst other shops on the Ozimals sims that will be helping to celebrate the upcoming 2nd Oziversary!
Congrats on winning the position!! :) *hugs*
I've noticed some of the changes already and already adopted 2H and started using some already, especially Dark Hub.. :)
And with that move, it's gonna bring a lot more traffic to your storefront!
Excellent news all around! :-D
The best elf got it in the end! Im really looking forward to being able to actually do the things that were discussed in the CoC meetings and not just talking about the things. you are such a whiz at marketing i KNOW everyone will benefit from your experience in having you as chairwoman.

title: WARRIOR
year: 2011
cast: Joel Edgerton, Tom Hardy, Nick Nolte, Kevin Dunn, Frank Grillo
rating: **
Well the fights scenes are cool, and the anticipation leading to each garners enough suspense to keep you somewhat locked in. The two main characters: Brendan Conlon, a financially struggling teacher with a wife and two kids, goes back to his old gig as a brawler. And his estranged brother Tommy, a quiet brooding beast who returns to the house of his father, played by Nick Nolte, a reformed alcoholic who will train him for a mixed martial arts tournament that both brothers eventually take part in. While a training montage is usually the most involving in fight flicks – getting to know both fighter and trainer from the inside/out – here it's a jumbled heap of split-screen boxes that avoids all the blood, sweat, and soul to prepare for the big match in Las Vegas. Which, once underway, is the best part of the film, pitting each brother against various formidable opponents and eventually, each other. The biggest problem exists in what's not shown. So much is left out of this troubled family's past that each prolonged conversation about that past (mostly involving their once abusive father, now a sad groaning bear) is a waste of time. The entire movie could have been that inevitable Vegas "showdown," and it wouldn't have made any difference. Because here's where the two leading actors, Joel Edgerton and Tom Hardy, really shine: It's just too bad the characters don't mean as much as their fights.

With 6 sons and 5 grandsons, not to mention a husband and other male relatives, I make a lot of masculine cards. Today's masculine birthday card combines a sport and traditional birthday elements. My son, Jonathan, coaches soccer so the Goal stamp set was a natural choice. Happy Birthday, Jonathan!
Robin's Crafting Tips
- The splash of red from the Riding Hood Red Pleated Ribbon and the "cherry on top" take my card from ho hum to wow. Think of the pleated ribbon as a card maker's "power tie".
- The curving red line of the ribbon also says movement and excitement.
- Textured frosting on the punched cupcake (Cupcake Builder Punch) makes you want to dip your finger for a scoop sweet, creamy frosting.
- And the Striped embossing folder compliments the energy of the Twitterpated Designer Paper.

Jacob Houder and Travis Myers Named Mountain West Scholar-Athletes
June 28, 2011 COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Air Force rising seniors Jacob Houder and Travis Myers were named recipients of the Mountain West Scholar-Athlete award, the league office announced this afternoon (June 28).

Houder holds a 3.68 grade-point average in biochemistry, while Myers maintains a 3.92 GPA in materials chemistry - the third-highest GPA among intercollegiate athletes at the Academy. This is the third academic award of the season for the pair, who also received the USA Gymnastics Scholar-Athlete award and academic all-conference honors from the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation. After missing his sophomore season with injury, Houder returned to the lineup in 2011 and competed on the pommel horse in 11 meets this year. His best score of the season, 13.700, came at the All-Academy Championships. Myers made his collegiate debut this season, competing on both the pommel horse (season best score of 11.800) and parallel bars (13.600).

Woman pleads guilty in polygamist sect murders; Victims, suspects members of Black Hebrews
Evidence found in Colorado Springs connected cult

Posted: 02/18/2013
Last Updated:
289 days ago
DURHAM, N.C. - A member of a polygamist cult is pleading guilty to her role in the North Carolina shooting deaths of a 4-year-old boy who offended the group's leader and a woman who sought to leave.
LaRhonda Renee Smith pleaded guilty Monday to second-degree murder, kidnapping, and conspiracy to commit murder in the 2010 slayings of 28-year-old Antoinetta McKoy and 4-year-old Jadon Higganbothan.
Smith was sentenced to between 23 and 30 years in prison as part of a plea deal where she agreed to cooperate with authorities and to testify in the murder cases.
Prosecutors said Smith and two other women were followers of Pete Moses, who led a black supremacist group called the Black Hebrews. The adults and their children lived together in North Carolina and later in Teller County, Colorado.
Moses shot Jadon in the head after the boy slapped another boy in the behind -- a gesture that Moses thought indicated Jadon was gay, prosecutors said.
An informant told police in North Carolina that Peter Moses was angrily pacing the house in October 2010, called for Higganbothan, took him to the basement and turned on loud music. Then a gunshot was heard, according to the search warrants.
The informant told police he later saw the boy's body wrapped in plastic, stuffed in a suitcase, and placed in the attic of the home.
Smith, according to prosecutors, knew of Jadon's murder and helped clean up evidence.
Another woman in the sect, Antoinetta McKoy, 28, disappeared about two months later. Prosecutors believe she may have witnessed Jadon's murder and wanted to leave the sect.
McKoy's and Jadon's bodies were found in June 2011, buried behind a home in Durham.
The sect moved to Colorado in February 2011.
According to WRAL-TV, Colorado police found a .22-caliber handgun on the roof of a townhouse where the group had been staying. Tests showed the gun was used to kill both Jadon and McKoy.
Jadon's mother and two other adults remain in Durham County Jail on charges connected with McKoy's and Jadon's deaths. Moses is serving two consecutive life sentences without possibility of parole for his part in the killings.

104 Tasting Notes
Resteeped what I had yesterday. Still delicious.
So I used a shorter steeping time and 1.5 tsps for a full Ingenuitea (~12 oz.). Couldn't help adding the hazelnut creamer. And nice large cup of liquid deliciousness. I think I'll be kind of glad when I use up the hazelnut creamer that got left here. It is far too good to be good for you.
Two tsps might be too much for even a full ingentuitea. Still, very tasty with the hazelnut creamer. I think this might be my fave until I can get some more of the Caravan Earl Grey from David's Tea.
With hazelnut creamer, this is almost like drinking really expensive, nice, valentines day candy. Yum.
I made a large batch for iced tea and didn't add sugar, because I never do, but that was wrong in this case. I think it would be very delicious if I had remembered sugar. Will try this one more time, because when iced, it smells almost like Juicy Fruit gum.
I used my ingenuitea to brew up five tsps in just over a cup of water, then I drained it into my tea pot and added enough water for five cups of tea, put it in the frig, and now have some bodacious cold tea. This stuff if fabulous.
Hello! With summer coming, I've been trying to find a good iced tea, and I think I might have something with this one. I just need to let it cool. If I take it out too soon, the ice ruins the flavor by watering it down immediately.
Ladykittykatt sent me my first sample as part of a trade, and I have enjoyed this so much, I'm going to have to put in a rather large order at David's Tea at the beginning of the month for this and Pink Flamingo.
Right now, I'm going to see how many steeps I can get from this last teaspoon.
Backlog — Lovely way of trying to open up my sinuses last night.
Backlog — Still not exactly what I wanted, but I think I found the best way of brewing this. Pretty nice at a four minute steep, but I don't think I'm going to be getting more of this.

I didn't expect too much from Hunter Prey, but holy hell it delivered!
Its a silent homage to sci-fi adventure in vein of Enemy Mine, Planet of the Apes, Star Wars and Pitch Black. Its clearly a low budget film, but its production values and sheer entertain factor make it a damn fine film that fully deserves every ounce of praise it garners.
The costumes which are most likely cobbled from star wars costumes and kids toys, but it looks so frickin cool! The paint jobs on the armor to the weapons is astonishingly convincing; the alien makeup effects are simple but astoundingly believable. Also the way the camera romanticised the barren rocky landscape made it seem unquestionably alien.
The key to Hunter Prey's success is in it's idea.
The idea became a self contained story that could be shot on a tiny budget.
It didn't reach for the stars and give us terrible dime-store craftsmanship, it delivered something indistinguishable from "Pitch Black" quality.
I guess what I'm saying is, I bought it.
I believed it.
Which is more than I can say for every "SyFy Original (TV) Movie" ever made.
The wonderful believablility combined with a great story, a brisk pace, thrilling action scenes, impeccable design, and some outstandingly good acting, make "Hunter Prey" one of THE best B-Movies. EVER.
Aside from a few negligible nitpicks, "Hunter Prey" impressed the hell outta me, and looks decidedly REALLY freaking cool!
Hunter Prey gets my FULL recommendation.
