* Democrats Choose Prisoner Abuse-Linked General for Radio Address, Author
Tara McKelvey on Sanchez and Her Book "Monstering" *

This past Saturday, the Democrats chose retired Army Lieutenant General
Ricardo Sanchez to give their weekly radio address. According to the ACLU,
Sanchez urged his troops to "go to the outer limits" to extract information
from prisoners. Previously released documents have linked Sanchez to the use
of army dogs during interrogations. We speak with Tara McKelvey, author of
"Monstering: Inside America's Policy of Secret Interrogations and Torture in
the Terror War."

Just over a week ago, a major operating manual for the US military's prison

disclosures, it reveals that isolation and sensory deprivation of prisoners
was official Army policy. We take a look at how this affects the debate

THURSDAY'S DEMOCRACY NOW!:

*A Tribute to Yip Harburg 75 Years After "Brother Can You Spare a Dime" and 60 Years After "Finian's Rainbow"*

His name might not be familiar to many, but his songs are sung by millions around the world. Today a journey through the life and work of Yip Harburg, the Broadway lyricist who wrote such hits as "Brother Can You Spare a Dime" and who put the music into the Wizard of Oz. Born into poverty on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, Yip always included a strong social and political component to his work, fighting racism and poverty. A lifelong socialist, Yip was blacklisted and hounded throughout much of his life.

Taking us on today's trip through the music and politics of Yip is his son, Ernie Harburg. First, we're going to go through Yip's early life, his collaboration with the Gershwin's, through "Brother Can You Spare A Dime." Then we'regoing to take an in-depth look at the Wizard of Oz. And finally, we'll hear a medley of Yip Harburg's Broadway songs and the politics of the times in which they were created. [includes rush transcript]

'Colombia: Pictures of Senator with FARC Leaders'

'Colombia: Pictures of Senator with FARC Leaders'
by Juliana Rincón Parra

Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez is meeting with members of the FARC and Colombian envoys to arrange a humanitarian exchange, where Colombian hostages like former presidential candidate Ingrid Betancourt and Clara Rojas who have been captive for more than 10 years would be released in exchange of certain actions the Colombian government would have to take. Some pictures taken during the humanitarian exchange discussions stuck like a thorn in many bloggers' sides.

A photo gallery of the pictures in question can be found at the Bolivarian Press Agency's site.

For a bit of background, Kate, in A Colombo-Americana´s perspective, writes:

The humanitarian exchange [is] to be realized between the Colombian government and the FARC terrorists. Colombians have been divided on this topic; some feel that the negotiation is good, in that FARC will have a chance to prove itself to be trustworthy, with a more long-term goal being that they will become a formal political actor; others have condemned this mediation as a way in which the FARC will make lofty promises without fulfilling their end of the bargain, as their past track record, coupled with the way they have viciously affected thousands of Colombian families, leaves much to be desired.

One of the mediators, chosen by Colombia's president Álvaro Uribe Velez, is the opposition´s Senator Piedad Córdoba, and the polemic pictures from APB (Bolivarian Press Agency)  have leaders of the terrorist group FARC arm in arm with Senator Córdoba, who is wearing a matching beret and holding a flower bouquet with a slight smile in her face.

El Observador Solitario [es], in his post titled "Keep your friends close and your enemies even closer" writes about how this decision to have Piedad Córdoba from the opposition sent to discuss the humanitarian exchange, is futile. He supports his theory with two points, mentioning that not only are the FARC´s conditions for the exchange ludicrously high at this point, but that the FARC is currently divided. This agreement would only take place with a fraction of the insurgent organization, and that currently the FARC has the  upper hand now that they've expanded into Venezuela and have found a safe haven there.

According to blogger Víctor Solano, Piedad Córdoba has mentioned that the pictures were taken out of context,  [es] that she had just snatched the beret from one of them as a joke and that she was surprised with the bouquet between her hands.

Ricardo Buitrago [es] writes sharply in his post "Piedad's offensive hug":



La foto del emotivo abrazo de la senadora Piedad Córdoba con los jefes de las FARC, en su reciente reunión en el palacio Miraflores constituye una nueva bofetada del grupo insurgente, que con la indolencia y permisividad de quienes se proclaman defensores del pueblo, han hecho del dolor de los familiares de la victimas del conflicto y del pueblo colombiano, rey de burlas. No se le podía olvidar a quien abraza efusivamente a los subversivos, que estos fueron los que cometieron el atroz crimen de los 11 diputados, los mismos que han efectuado cualquier cantidad de atentados con numerosas victimas en el país, los que trafican con drogas y los que tienen a numerosas personas retenidas en condiciones de cautiverio infrahumanas.



The photographs of the emotive hug between Senator Piedad Córdoba and the FARC leaders, in their recent meeting in the Miraflores palace [in Venezuela] represents the newest slap in the face from the insurgent group, which with the indolence and permissiveness of those who proclaim themselves defenders of the people, have made the pain of the families of all the victims of the conflict and the Colombian people in general, a laughing matter. She shouldn't have forgotten that she was effusively hugging the subversives, those are the ones who committed the heinous crime of the 11 deputies, the same who have orchestrated countless attacks with numerous victims in the country, those who traffick in drugs and who have held numerous people as hostages in inhumane conditions.

Puerto Rican Nelson del Castillo  in ABP defended the pictures and the gesture they portray in an article titled: Piedad Cordoba´s smile is an antidote to despair. [es]

¡Vaya error de Piedad Córdoba! Sonreír en medio de conversaciones conducentes, esperamos, a la liberación de prisioneros y, además, colocar en su cabeza una boina que posiblemente simboliza la siembra de confianza.

What a mistake for Piedad Córdoba! Smile in the midst of conducive conversations, or so we hope, for the liberation of prisioners, and besides, placing a beret on her head may possibly symbolize the sowing of trust.

Some, like Víctor Solano in Desnudos (untying knots)  [es] stand on a wary middle ground, waiting to see what happens, and hoping it´ll all be worth it in the end. He writes that the pictures raise his suspicions of Cordoba's work with Venezuela's president Hugo Chávez and the FARC. Nevertheless, they are the only concrete actions that have been taken to reach the humanitarian exchange which would allow hostages to return to their homes and it is up to Senator Piedad Córdoba to prove that all this fraternization with Chavez and las FARC will be conducive to firm actions.Víctor closes his separate article in ¿Comunicación? [es]  with the following phrase:

Si Córdoba quiere fortalecer su gestión debe tener claro que comunica tanto lo que dice como lo que no dice; lo que muestra como lo que esconde.

If Córdoba wishes to strengthen her mission she must be clear in what she is communicating, both in what she says and doesn't say, what she shows and what she hides.

FROM LEGAL BLOG WATCH

A Personal Perspective on Paulose

As Orin Kerr observed at The Volokh Conspiracy, "That was fast." No sooner was Michael Mukasey confirmed as attorney general than the Justice Department announced the departure of Minnesota's controversial U.S. Attorney Rachel K. Paulose, who will return to Washington to work in the department's headquarters there. Bloggers are sure to dissect this development in depth, but in a lengthy post at Minnesota Lawyer Blog, Mark Cohen, editor of Minnesota Lawyer newspaper, offers a personal perspective on Paulose's controversial tenure as U.S. attorney, one colored by his having met and come to know her.

She was, Cohen says, "neither the Wicked Witch of the West that some of her detractors made her out to be nor the 'St. Rachel' of some conservative blogs." He writes:

I found Paulose to be a highly driven and even at times charming individual who also is a fallible human being. She is definitely conservative, but not very political. (Ironically, had she cared more about politics, she might have been able to rally some political support when she needed it so badly.) She is a brilliant woman with encyclopedic knowledge. Most surprising of all was the fact that Paulose has a keen sense of humor –- albeit a wryly dry one.

But her subordinates apparently never saw this side of her, Cohen notes, in part because of her poorly developed management skills that caused her to come across as aloof and condescending and "busy being defensive." Yet despite the controversy that surrounded her, Paulose's tenure was not without achievement, believes Cohen (who was an associate of mine many years ago at Lawyers Weekly newspaper in Boston).

Despite the internal problems, the office did some great work in investigating and prosecuting child-porn and human trafficking cases. I would not have that forgotten due to the recent turbulence. Minnesotans can truly be grateful to Paulose and the entire staff of the U.S. Attorney's Office for their Herculean efforts in those areas. It's a legacy worth having.

10 Things You Must Understand About

  education Marketing Fundamentals:

 

10 Things You Must Understand About

Your Prospects

< back to topic index

1. Your prospects need you. Do you imagine that by promoting yourself, you are intruding on or interrupting your prospect? Are you thinking, "They won't want what I have," or "They've probably already got someone." Well, as Stock Photography Guru, Rohn Engh, likes to say, "At this very moment, your prospects are waiting for you." Whether it's true about a specific prospect is irrelevant; if you approach each prospect with that frame of mind, you'll make a better presentation.

2. Your prospects want to look good. Things are kind of scary out there. No matter the industry, from construction to graphic design, things aren't the way they used to be -- not for you and not for them. So what they want from you, over and above what they're asking for, is that you make them look good; that's your real job.

3. Your prospects are, well, lazy. That means you have to do some of their work: help them find you, help them contact you and then, of course, help them work with you. The fewer obstacles they have to surpass, the more likely they are to follow through, and the more likely you are to get the work.

4. Your prospects have got a lot going on. Don't lose sight of their big picture. In the office, there are interruptions galore. They can't get anything accomplished, their desk is a disaster area, their voice mailbox is jammed, their e-mail is stacking up. In a word, things are out of control. You are just one of the many things they are trying to focus on. Now try to ask: why aren't they calling me back?

5. Your prospects act on impulse. We all do this: we see something interesting, we get excited, we call for information and when it comes, we put it in a pile. Determine as quickly as possible if you're dealing with an impulse inquiry and waste as little time as possible with them. But don't write them off entirely; just put them on your quarterly mailing list and let them come back to you. Real needs and desires will stand the test of time.

6. Your prospects need to pigeonhole you. Although you hate it, let them do it; in fact, help them. Give them a box to put you in, and a label to put on your box. (I'm speaking figuratively here.) There's plenty of time to tell them more later about your full range of services.

7. Your prospects may not know what they need. Listen to them and provide a solution to their self-defined needs. Offer a few alternatives for them to choose from. If necessary, explain, without trying to persuade, why what they say they want might not be the best thing for them. Then, let them decide.

8. Your prospects need time. It's not always a put off. Believe them when they say they have to think about it, or that they have to sell the idea to someone else. We all need time to think, time to get ready, to adjust, to clear our plate. Give them the time they ask for, and then keep in touch, reminding them that they were interested. And remember that some things will never come to fruition. That's life.

9. Your prospects are people. Your relationships are not with companies; like it or not, they're with human beings. And relationships are more important now than ever because, with everyone moving around, you better believe they're taking the Rolodex (or Wizard) along.

10. Your prospects are just like you and me. Don't forget: you are a prospect to someone out there too. Which defenses do you use? How do you want to be treated when someone is marketing to you? How often do you want someone calling? How much freedom and time would you like to have to think about a product, to ask questions and to make your decision? How do you want to feel about the process when it is over?

Déjà Vu All Over Again at FBI Lab

I expected to find the blawgosphere abuzz this morning over yesterday's joint investigative report by 60 Minutes and The Washington Post revealing that hundreds of defendants remain incarcerated even though their convictions came about with the help of a discredited FBI forensic tool known as comparative bullet-lead analysis. Even though the FBI discarded the test two years ago as having no scientific validity, it never notified the affected defendants or courts. As I write this, response so far among legal bloggers has been muted, but it is still early the morning after the 60 Minutes broadcast.

One blogger who has commented is Andrew Cohen, author of the Washington Post blog Bench Conference. It is déjà vu all over again, Cohen suggests, conjuring up the memory of FBI whistleblower Frederick Whitehurst, who a decade ago identified systemic problems within the FBI crime lab and helped expose the agency's cover-up when cornered. "Somewhere, Frederick Whitehurst is saying: See? I told you so," Cohen writes. And he could not be more prescient, because Whitehurst's Forensic Justice Project put out a statement this morning saying, in so many words, We told you so. The statement indicates -- and the Washington Post report confirms -- that the work of the project and of the affiliated National Whistleblower Center helped expose the weaknesses in bullet-lead analysis. For Cohen, there is a lesson in all this that Whitehurst might well agree with:

Remember this story -- and the ones like Whitehurst's that have preceded it -- the next time government lawyers stand up in court and vouch for the accuracy and reliability of federal 'experts' offering conclusions about the import of evidence. Remember it, too, when a Justice Department lawyer tells a federal judge that the executive branch is worthy of trust and deference in the legal war on terrorism because law enforcement officials have deemed someone to be a terror suspect.

Another blogger to comment on the report is Mark Obbie at LawBeat. Obbie dons his journalism-professor hat to find fault with the over-hyping of the Washington Post piece written by reporter John Solomon. The story, says Obbie, "suffers from excessive hype" and left him "feeling I was hoodwinked." The trouble comes, in part, from the FBI's preemptive strike: It released a statement on Friday promising to do everything the report on Sunday would criticize it for failing to do. "Solomon's revelation of this 'problem-solved' turn in his story comes too late, in the 13th graf, after 12 grafs that seem to say the problem persists and is being addressed for the first time publicly in this story," Obbie complains. Another problem: It is not until the 21st paragraph that the piece mentions the role of the Forensic Justice Project in exposing this injustice. "The chest-thumping tone of the report suggests a level of originality that, it turns out, is lacking," he says.

One footnote to the story, on this very day that The American Lawyer publishes its Summer Associates Survey, is that four summer associates at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom in New York played a central role in helping compile this report. The Post and 60 Minutes conducted a nationwide review of cases in which this tainted evidence played a role. As part of that review, the four associates picked through electronic court filings in search of cases.

Summers are a Happy Lot

Summer associates gave their firms overall good reviews in The American Lawyer's 2007 Summer Associates Survey, and why shouldn't they? After all, what's not to like? Some found exotic adventures abroad, with one traveling four-and-a-half hours by horseback across the Egyptian desert and another put up in a fancy apartment in Paris. Others were treated to skyboxes at baseball games, cooking classes, musicals, symphony concerts, whitewater rafting trips and scavenger hunts. In New York, there was Kobe beef and Picasso at the Museum of Modern Art, while in San Francisco there was helicoptering under the Golden Gate Bridge and debauchery at Half Moon Bay. All that and a paycheck of nearly $3,000 a week.

Not bad work if you can get it. And of the 10,000 law students who did get it, 7,300 responded to the AmLaw survey. Those at smaller firms were generally happier than those at larger firms, but almost all the firms scored at least a four on a scale of one to five, with the average score for all firms 4.513. The top-scoring firm was Boston's 155-lawyer Nutter McClennen & Fish, which earned perfect scores in eight of nine categories. The second-ranked firm, Philadelphia's Fox Rothschild, jumped from a rank of 110 the year before.

What made the difference in firms? "Students craved juicy assignments, friendly offices and lots of attention, and the firms that best satisfied these needs tended to be medium-size shops with relatively small summer programs," writes reporter Paul Jaskunas. One summer associate at Nutter summed up the experience this way: "They go out of their way to make you feel like a part of the family from day one." By contrast, firms that ranked lower on the survey got there because their associates felt neglected. All but one of the 10 lowest-ranked firms scored below 4.0 in training and guidance. "Give the summer associates more real work! I want to write motions, not just research motions," pleaded one associate. Just don't let up on the Kobe and debauchery.

Equal Opportunity Blawg Review

In 1957, President Dwight D. Eisenhower proclaimed Nov. 19 to be Equal Opportunity Day, urging every American to join "in the effort to abolish all artificial discrimination." These 50 years later, what is Eisenhower's legacy in promoting equal opportunity? For Blawg Review #135, Jillian Todd Weiss takes the measure of that question by turning to the blawgosphere. Weiss, author of the blog Transgender Workplace Diversity and associate professor of law and society at Ramapo College, finds that equal opportunity in the U.S. remains elusive. The racial divide remains strong and debate over how to bridge it remains inconclusive, she writes, while the movement for equal opportunity has expanded beyond race, as is illustrated by recent attempts to expand civil rights to gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people.

Two weeks ago, the House took up the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, which was introduced to prohibit employment discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity. ... Some Democrats, just like those of Eisenhower's day, complained that they were not prepared to support the reference to 'gender identity,' which would have protected transgender Americans, and the bill was passed without it. This move was controversial in the gay community because many gay advocates felt that transgender people are not part of the gay community. ... On the other hand, about 300 organizations protested the removal of 'gender identity' from the bill because it undermined the fairness message of ENDA.

In her survey of the blawgosphere, Weiss found plenty of discussion of other issues related to equal opportunity, including age discrimination, disability discrimination, sex discrimination and veterans' rights. A second part of Blawg Review is slated to continue tomorrow, the 9th annual Transgender Day of Remembrance, at the Rainbow Law Center Blog of Denise Brogan-Kator.

Delhi Abolishes Lawyer Age Cap

Until this month, lawyers over age 45 could not be newly enrolled to practice as advocates in the Indian state of Delhi. The policy existed, one member of the Delhi Bar Council explained, because, "We have often seen that lawyers above 45 just get into the profession for time pass. They don't contribute anything, engage in malpractice and crowd in." Some post-45 "senior citizen" lawyers disagreed with that policy. Six months ago, a half dozen of them appealed to the Delhi High Court. Earlier this month, before the court could rule, the Delhi Bar Council reversed itself and abolished the age restriction.

As NDTV reports, this is welcome news for lawyers Prem Chand Kashyap, 60, and Sudhi Kumar Bharadwaj, 61. Kashyap, a 1975 law graduate, retired this year after 35 years in banking and hoped to spend his "golden years" as a lawyer. Bharadwaj had earned his law degree in 1979 and retired last year as chief income tax commissioner of Mumbai, likewise wanting to practice law. The Bar Council had turned down both men because of their age.

Read more on this from The Hindu or watch this video of NDTV's report. Meanwhile, I'll ponder the demise of the belief that with age comes wisdom.

HP Global citizenship  Business ethics guided by enduring values

»  Company information » Global citizenship »  Business ethics home

At HP we want to be a company that is known for its leadership in corporate ethics and responsibility. A company where employees are proud to work, and customers, partners and suppliers want to do business with. Trust and respect have always been the cornerstones of HP's success and they always will be. The values that Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard established nearly 70 years ago are as relevant today as they've ever been: We are passionate about customers; We have trust and respect for individuals; We perform at a high level of achievement and contribution; We act with speed and agility; We deliver meaningful innovation; We achieve our results through teamwork; and We conduct our business with uncompromising integrity. Our values are the foundation of everything we do. We foster an environment that is open and transparent. We encourage employees to report things that don't seem right and continue to develop world-class tools to help employees ask questions and raise values-based, ethical or compliance concerns. But unfortunately, no company is immune to an ethical lapse. The events of September 2006 connected with HP's investigation into leaks of confidential information from the Board of Directors tarnished HP's reputation. We have taken significant steps to regain our leadership position in the areas of ethics and privacy. In December 2006, HP entered into an agreement with the California Attorney General to resolve civil claims arising from the previously disclosed investigation into leaks from our Board of Directors. As part of the agreement, we committed to implement a series of measures designed to ensure that our internal investigations are conducted in accordance with California law and with HP's high ethical standards. We have submitted two reports to the Attorney General outlining the specific actions we have taken in our efforts to regain our position as a global leader in corporate ethics and responsibility. By submitting these reports, we have satisfied our current responsibilities under the settlement.

Fact Sheet: Major Economies Meeting on Energy Security and Climate Change

"By the end of next year, America and other nations will set a long-term global goal for reducing greenhouse gases. To help develop this goal, the United States will convene a series of meetings of nations that produce most greenhouse gas emissions, including nations with rapidly growing economies like India and China. In addition to this long-term global goal, each country would establish midterm national targets and programs that reflect their own mix of energy sources and future energy needs."

-- President George W. Bush

=?iso-8859-1?Q?[Posible SPAM]=20?= ¿CUALES SON LAS DISPOSICIONES LEGALES MÁS LOCAS DEL MUNDO?

Las leyes más locas del mundo

Marcelo Justo BBC Mundo

Prohibido morirse en el parlamento

Siempre se dice que los británicos son idiosincrásicos, que manejan del otro lado, tienen el volante del auto también cambiado y se caracterizan por su excentricidad, sea por la manera de vestir o por el modo en que miden las cosas.

La verdad es que algunas leyes vigentes del Reino Unido parecen probar el estereotipo.

Una ley de 1887 prohíbe específicamente que alguien se muera en el Parlamento.

De modo que si uno tiene la desgracia de sufrir un infarto en la Cámara de los Comunes o en la de los Lores, más le vale que lo saquen pronto del recinto, no sea cosa que además de morirse lo lleven preso.

Según la ley británica es un acto de traición poner una estampilla con la silueta de la reina Isabel II cabeza abajo en una carta.

En una reciente encuesta realizada por la cadena UKTV Gold, los británicos eligieron a estas dos leyes como las más absurdas del reino.

No estoy embarazado, pero ¿me puede prestar el casco?

Los encuestados tuvieron un amplio material a su disposición porque lo cierto es que los legisladores británicos han competido con ahínco en este terreno a lo largo de la historia.

El discreto encanto de las leyes

En Liverpool es ilegal que las mujeres muestren los pechos en la vía pública, salvo cuando venden pescado tropical, en cuyo caso pueden enseñar con toda felicidad sus senos danzarines.

¿Qué pasa con una mujer embarazada que está en la calle, quiere ir al baño y no encuentra uno?

La ley británica dice que puede orinar en cualquier lado y aclara: incluso en el casco de un policía.

En cuanto a los escoceses lo tienen muy difícil en la ciudad norteña de York, Inglaterra.

La ley autoriza el asesinato de escoceses que lleven arco y flecha en la parte antigua de la ciudad.

El mundo está loco, loco, loco

Los británicos no monopolizan el absurdo en materia legal.

En Ohio, Estados Unidos, está prohibido emborrachar a un pez.

También en Estados Unidos, en el estado de Vermont, las mujeres tienen que pedir permiso a sus maridos para usar dentadura postiza.

En Indonesia la pena por la masturbación es la decapitación.

En Milán hay que sonreírse siempre, salvo en funerales o visitas a un hospital.

Y en Alabama, EE.UU., es ilegal vendar los ojos de alguien cuando está conduciendo un vehículo.

CHILE Our Country

CHILE  Our Country    The Flag  The Coat of Arms  The Anthem

We are pleased to welcome you on your visit to view  our country both as friends and in a professional capacity. We say as friends because you accepted our invitation to look at us closely, to become acquainted with the variety offered by our geography and to seek the eye-catching points that make us attractive to the rest of the world. And in a professional capacity because you come to Chile backed by your experience and a profound knowledge of an industry that has turned into an engine of  devolpment in today's economy. Nowadays people want to travel, they want to visit different places and they want to learn about other cultures. Tourism is no longer a privilege enjoyed by a few but rather the wish of many who want to  discover by themselves how others live and what they are like. When people know each other better, distrust among them decreases. We are building a global world in which tourism faces major challenges. Chile wishes to grow by enhancing its presence in the international arena. Having our tourism industry grow is also part of this project and your visit will help us make headway toward this aim. We welcome you warmly and wish you a happy and fruitful sojourn in Chile. A Snapshot of Chile   The Territory   The Indigenous People   A Cultural Explosion   Territorial organization

CHILE TAMBIEN TIENE UN TREMENDO POTENCIAL EN BIOCOMBUSTIBLES

Biodiesel and Ethanol

 

SAGE is active in assessing environmental impacts of energy use, and exploring new opportunities to meet global energy demand. These activities build on ongoing research in air quality, climate change, land use, agriculture, and public health to help inform energy decision-making at the state, national, and international level.

For more information on energy research at UW-Madison, please visit the Energy Institute's web site.

Biodiesel and Ethanol

Liquid biofuels, renewable fuels derived from biomass, are one of the best positioned fuels to transition away from petroleum in the near-term and have made a recent resurgence in response to rising oil prices. However, while the technical details of biofuels have been thoroughly studied, there has been less focus on what constitutes a strategic deployment. Further, with an increasing number of countries and regions declaring support for rapid biofuel development, it is crucial to understand the full affects of these petroleum reduction policies.

soybean agriculture

At SAGE, we are working to determine how much biofuel can be produced today, which countries are most likely to achieve their potential, and to detail the likely impacts from increasing production to achieve the gap between existing potential and policy goals.
