With reference to the U.S. civil rights movement, historian Charles Payne distinguishes between two different activist traditions. In the South there was, he argues, a "community-mobilizing tradition, focused on large-scale, relatively short-term public eventsrc;euro? a "tradition best symbolized by the work of Martin Luther King." At the same time, there was also a "ecommunity organizing tradition," with a "greater emphasis on the long-term development of leadership in ordinary men and women" - epitomized by the likes of SNCC and Ella Baker. Both mass mobilization and long-term leadership development are organizing, and both can be extremely valuable. And, at times, they can overlap. But it's useful to understand that they are distinct processes. A second point: Even during a moment of...

Title IV-E rules provide Federal Financial Participation (FFP) through a beneficial cost allocation methodology if a State or Tribe implements a comprehensive Statewide Automated Child Welfare Information System (SACWIS) to track and manage child protection, foster care and adoption assistance activities. With the continuing implementation of the Fostering Connections to Success and Increasing Adoptions Act of 2008 (Pub. L. 110-351) we wish to analyze the impact of the State-centric SACWIS rules on Tribes and Tribal child welfare agencies, to determine if Tribes have sufficient flexibility and latitude to build information systems that will meet their business needs. The Children's Bureau's (CB) Division of State Systems (DSS) has been assigned responsibility to undertake consultation w...

This morning The Washington Post reports that Supreme Court Justice David Souter's colleagues on the bench tried to convince the justice not to retire. But Souter, weary of Washington living, had told friends that Barack Obama's presidential victory was his ticket back to New Hampshire. The notoriously private justice has made no public comment about his retirement plans. Sources tell news organizations that he has informed President Obama of his intention to step down. The White House has yet to make an official comment on Souter's plans, but aides are said to be compiling a list of potential nominees to replace him.

[Mariah Carey], scantily clad in a beautiful gown and armed with her undeniably incredible voice set the bar for the evening. Artists would need to bring their "A" game in terms of performance and stage presence. Surprisingly, Carey's album, "The Emancipation of Mimi," lost in the categories of Favorite Soul/Rhythm & Blues and Pop/Rock to such artists as Destiny Childs' "Destiny Fulfilled" and Green Days' "American Idiot." However, Carey did walk away with the coveted Favorite Female Artist in the Soul/Rhythm & Blues category beating out [Ciara] and last season's winner of American Idol, Fantasia. Carey has been deservedly walking away with AMA's since 1992. Will Smith, or as some call him Big Will, garnered the Favorite Male Artist award for the Pop/Rock category. Before he too...

We are removing lists of regions classified with respect to certain animal diseases and pests, and lists of States approved to receive horses imported from foreign regions where contagious equine metritis (CEM) exists, from our animal and animal product import regulations. Instead, the lists will be posted on the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service's (APHIS') Web site. The regulations will provide the Web address and explain APHIS' criteria and processes for adding a region or a State to, or removing a region or State from, each of the lists. Because the lists will no longer be in the Code of Federal Regulations, changing the lists will no longer require rulemaking. We will keep the public informed of changes to the lists and provide opportunity for public comment through publica...

I'm amused by the discussion surrounding why the Iraqis cannot seem to come to an agreement on their constitution, a constitution that looks very much like our own. I'm amused because of the issues involved that seem to be blocking its passage. One issue is federalism and the other is women's rights. Also, I heard a radio commentator, actually a "talking head" because what he was saying in the form of well-informed comment was really propaganda being propagated by the Bush Administration, make concerning the length of time the Iraqis are taking to finish work on their constitution. We see, or at least the Bush Administration sees, involvement in Iraq as political and economic. We need to maintain a balance of power that will give us negotiating room over economic and oil issues in the M...
