Still, people and issues from Connecticut are likely to be highly important in the upcoming confirmation hearings of U.S. Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor, a 2nd Circuit judge for the past 12 years. Former Yale Law School Dean Guido Calabresi is a colleague of Sotomayor's on the appellate court. He first met her at Yale, when he was a professor and she was a student, and was impressed with her legal talents and personal attributes. Although Sotomayor is known for writing lengthy and layered opinions, she's likely to be questioned extensively about one of her more terse efforts. In Ricci v. New Haven, white firefighters were denied promotions when New Haven officials tossed out the results of a promotional exam on which black firefighters performed poorly. In a one-paragraph decision, Sotomayor, writing for the court, upheld the decision by New Haven officials without touching on affirmative action doctrines or other large legal issues presented by the lawsuit. The U.S. Supreme Court recently heard arguments in the case. Senior Writer Thomas B. Scheffey spoke last week with Calabresi, who shared insights into Sotomayor's character and abilities and her approach to the Ricci decision. LAW TRIBUNE: How long have you known Sonia Sotomayor? GUIDO CALABRESI: I've known her ever since she was a first-year student in my torts class. She was terrific then. Yesterday, I went back and looked at my exams. My practice is to read the exams [without looking at the student's] name and then write on the exam a one-liner about what the exam was like. It was a wonderful exam, and I wrote, 'Knows her stuff! Has originality!' That's a wonderful little aside that most people wouldn't know. We've been on the court together for 12 years. I was there a few years before [she joined]. And she's a marvelous, powerful, profoundly decent person. Very popular on the court because she listens, convinces and can be convinced -- always by good legal argument. She's changed my mind, not an insignificant number of times. And as I've told some people, I'm a tough act. LAW TRIBUNE: It's a mark of a lively intellect that you can have your mind changed. CALABRESI: And it works both ways. She listens to people and people listen to her. Often when we've had court meetings, and disagreed on things, there can be some tension. She's the one who regularly arranges for us to go out together with spouses afterwards, and relax and be human beings with each other, and that has been a great help. LAW TRIBUNE: What other qualities stand out? CALABRESI: Extraordinary integrity. Often, when people have been mentioned for a promotion, they start to be a little careful. To [think], "Why offend people when it could get in the way of a promotion?" From the time Sonia came on the court, she was understandably a person who was mentioned as somebody, possibly, who could be considered for the Supreme Court. But she has never let that affect her decisions, her judgment. It has always been straight on the law as she read it, and that's it. LAW TRIBUNE: You're saying she wasn't trying to express a more middle-of-the-road view to please more people, or be more palatable? CALABRESI: She's never done that, she's just followed the law. And she is also a judge who does not reach out to decide more than what is before her. The word 'activist' is usually misused to attack somebody who disagrees with you. It actually has a meaning. An activist judge or a willful judge is one who decides more than is needed for that case, and tries to set her or his views in stone when there is a chance to do it. A good judge doesn't do that. LAW TRIBUNE: People are predicting that the New Haven reverse discrimination case is likely to generate a lot of questions, even though Judge Sotomayor wrote very little in that decision. Do you have an insight about why she wrote so little? CALABRESI: I cannot speak about a case that is sub judice, which that case is. But I can say this. First, she was not the presiding judge of that case. It's a panel, and the presider is significant in such things. The interesting thing that that panel did was try to decide the particular case before it, without resolving a very, very hard question of law. And that goes to what I just said before. That is the opposite of an activist judge. That issue is one of the hardest issues around. [The judges on the panel] thought this particular case ... could be dealt with without trying to settle something that's extraordinarily hard. She - and that panel -- was trying to be in the best sense of the word, a minimalist judge. If people say that was activism, they've got it backwards. LAW TRIBUNE: People have criticized Judge Sotomayor as being brusque. CALABRESI: When she first came on, there were some lawyers who said that about her manner on the bench. I started keeping track of what she was saying and what my male colleagues were saying. [What they were saying] was identical. There are some lawyers who don't like to be questioned hard by a woman. It's just as simple as that. It's a sign that Sonia will just be herself. LAW TRIBUNE: Do you think the scorching questioning faced by Judge Robert Bork and Clarence Thomas before the Senate Judiciary Committee is a thing of the past? CALABRESI: That gets into politics and is outside my line. But if she is questioned and grilled by senators, she will answer them! ------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ GroveNet mailing list GroveNet at rdrop.com http://www.rdrop.com/mailman/listinfo/grovenet -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Even on math exams with show your work problems a teacher can narrow down the test to just a few students without looking at the name. He could have known the writer was a she without knowing exactly who it was (assuming there was more than one female in the class). The other possibility is that he wrote 'knows his stuff' on the test, then looked at the name and corrected the comment to 'knows her stuff'. (Lawyers like to go back and correct themselves sometimes.) It would be interesting to know more details as you point out.

Since 1975 4 different surveys and evaluations have determined that our community is better served by not charging late fees. The library already has a successful system for late fees and any money it might bring in from late fees do NOT go back to the library. Any money from late fees would go into the city general fund and the library would receive no benefit. Even if you think library late fees are a fine idea, please come and give your opinion or just be there to support the library. Most of our city council members are not patrons of the library and do not understand the importance of a healthy library for a healthy community.

While I'd prefer not to have to pay a late fee, if one were to be charged, it had better be going to support the library and not the city coffers. That just sounds like a way for the city to try and get money for themselves. I am amazed that they would consider charging a late fee (which I thought I'd understood the library committee had already urged the council not to create one two times now) and not have it benefit the library. It seems like in this time of economic hardship that adding a late fee would only make it harder for patrons to come in if they are worried about missing the return date and then having to come up with a fee.

And one thing I have to say about Alana is she's?consistently positive and informative in?her postings.??Of her?past postings, my recollection is they're always giving information of an upcoming event, with most events?being tied to the library in some form.? Having said this, I can understand how?the one sentence in her post of "Most of our city council members are not patrons of the library and do not understand the importance of a healthy library for a healthy community" can be interpreted as potentially, repeat potentially, inflammatory and incorrect.? And I have every belief?based on Alana's past postings that Alana?did not mean to be inflammatory.? Inflammatory and/or incorrect are words I would not associate w/Alana.? Again, my personal opinion based on her past Grovenet postings. Regarding?the potential?city proposal to charge library late fees,?can you please?provide text from the proposal that details?where late fees monies would be applied?? It's important we all understand what the city proposes for these late fees. If the city proposes late fees to be?funneled back into the library system to pay for purchasing additional books and/or?helping to pay for library staff and/or pay for upkeep of the library, etc. . . . in short if the fees will be 100% applied directly to library costs,?people might?consider this as a valid proposal. If, on the other?hand,?late fees would be funneled to other city services with little/no monies going back to the library,?people might consider this to be a mis-directed cost and not necessarily a valid proposal. It's important to know the text in the proposal as it could potentially supress the flames of?outrage. ?

If fees are necessary, and I'm not convinced they are, they should be used by the Library for its needs. They'll be lost in the general fund and never seen again!

Small plots could be strategically located in several areas around the city containing small individual coops that would be assigned to families. These clucker clusters could be located in areas that would have minimal noise and odor impact while still being conveniently located close to neighborhoods. I'm not yoking or trying to ruffle anyone's feathers here. Communal chicken coops would be a wonderful means of offsetting the deleterious effects of the giant flag and all of it's negative connotations. Anyone embarrassed of the impression that outsiders may acquire from the flag's presence can point out the communal coops as a progressive community attribute.

This would put everything for the birds in one location. -----Original Message----- From: grovenet-bounces at rdrop.com [mailto:grovenet-bounces at rdrop.com]On Behalf Of Steve Jerrett Sent: Thursday, June 11, 2009 12:04 AM To: Forest Grove local interests list Subject: Re: [Grovenet] What the cluck? At the risk of egging this discussion on, maybe instead of housing chickens at individual residences, a system of neighborhood coops could be placed throughout the community, along the lines of a community garden. Small plots could be strategically located in several areas around the city containing small individual coops that would be assigned to families. These clucker clusters could be located in areas that would have minimal noise and odor impact while still being conveniently located close to neighborhoods. I'm not yoking or trying to ruffle anyone's feathers here. Communal chicken coops would be a wonderful means of offsetting the deleterious effects of the giant flag and all of it's negative connotations. Anyone embarrassed of the impression that outsiders may acquire from the flag's presence can point out the communal coops as a progressive community attribute.

What about flag dewrags, blankets, water bottles, hardhats, Chevy trucks, bikinis, underwear?? Only clean underwear?? Only panties and boxers, but no briefs or thongs?? That is part of the problem with extremist Islam or Christianity, where the desecration of the Quran or the Bible is deemed a capital offense, when it ought to only make the faith of the believer stronger. And I think my son would agree with me on this. I would like to believe that he recognizes the symbolism of the flag, and that part of that symbolism is the right of the "non-believer" to seek to incite/promote discussion/dissension/disbelief by the inappropriate display/destruction of the same, and that the strength of those who are supportive of this sometimes great nation is that they seek to lead by example and not by inappropriate attacks on the disbeliever/unbeliever/nonbeliever. He's not fighting for the flag, but for the principles for which it stands. Which makes Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld/Wolfowitz's torture all the more perverse, since they sought to wrap themselves in the flag while subverting the very principles for which it stands!! bob "I will defend to my death your right to be wrong" browning +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Alan Domenghini aka an OleHoss wrote: Bob ....

I don't use them exclusively either, but mainly because the different area stores (Safeway, Grande Foods, Freddy's, Costco -- the farthest I go for groceries) each seem to have some item or another which we use that only one or two of them carry any more. What will it be like going farther than Safeway once Wal-Mart is at our end of Cornelius?

Every time I go into Safeway here in Forest Grove I am reminded why my wife Pat and I now do virtually all of our grocery, pharmacy, and household goods shopping at Fred Meyer and Costco. Yesterday Pat got the craving for some macaroni salad and, rather than have to go out of town, she popped into Safeway for a couple of things. As usual, she paid with her airmiles American Express card. When we got ready for dinner last night, she realized that there was no shrink-wrap sealer around the lip of the lid. But, not thinking much of it, it got worse when she opened the snap top to find that the plastic cover over the salad was not sealed on the front and two sides. While it did not appear that anyone had taken any salad out of the container, in an abundance of caution we opted to fore go any of her hoped for macaroni salad . This morning a few minutes after 9:00 am I popped into Safeway to return the salad. Finding the customer service counter not only unattended, but the lights above the counter still turned off, I found an employee to whom I explained our situation and made inquiry as to where to go to return the salad. I was directed to the other end of the checker row where, after once again explaining my situation, and the second person to whom I spoke making inquiry with several of her co-workers, I was sent back to the customer service counter (the overhead lights of which were still off) to see a manager. For the third time I explained my need, showed this person the product, explained why we choose not to eat it, and, not desiring to tell her about a foot problem and to have to walk the entire length of the store to the deli area , noted that I wanted to get a refund. Upon her request, I then showed her my wife's receipt from the previous day's purchase. That's when things got sticky. She immediately asked for the credit card with which it had been purchased; I assume she was intending to put the refund back onto the card so that Safeway would save the $0.18 in servicer fee (on the $3.99 purchase price) they paid American Express. Noting that I did not have the card with me since it was my wife who made the purchase, she abruptly explained to me that she could not do the refund. However, after some fairly insistent prompting on my part, she did note on the receipt that the product had been returned and that a refund was yet due to my wife. Now, I realize that 18 cents is not a huge sum of money. However, that cuts two ways. As someone who used to spend over $600 per month at Safeway, one would think that they might desire to have me back as a customer. But, no, I was treated as just another cipher, someone else to be inconvenienced so they could return to what ever they may have been doing before I came in. Which, unlike Fred Meyer, often consists of long lines, several checkers with surly attitudes (though I really do miss seeing some others), crowded aisles, and dirty floors. Oh, yes, despite a number of requests, they still play their outside speaker so loud we can hear it in my office across the parking lot!! So, I guess I will continue to drive to Cornelius or to Hillsboro for my grocery shopping needs - just one more person going out of town rather than supporting our local stores. But, it must not matter since, if Safeway really needed my business, I guess they would work a little harder to keep me as a customer. Maybe at least 18 cents harder!! bob browning forest grove _______________________________________________ GroveNet mailing list GroveNet at rdrop.com http://www.rdrop.com/mailman/listinfo/grovenet From allnutt at verizon.net Sat Jun 13 16:09:05 2009 From: allnutt at verizon.net (Katie Allnutt) Date: Sat, 13 Jun 2009 16:09:05 -0700 Subject: [Grovenet] Safeway probably isn't . . . .

Even though I rarely shop at Safeway (I am a Winco fan myself) I recently had an amazingly positive experience at Safeway. I had heard about a product that I wanted to try and according to the products website, the FG Safeway carried it. So I went there. After I couldn't find it I asked someone in the produce section where it might be and they helped me look for it. We couldn't find it but they found someone for me in the refrigerated section. While we were there a manager tried to help and someone from the deli too. After we were all about to give up, someone came off break and they looked as well and we finally found it near the yogurt. As I was leaving the manager who had helped earlier gave me a card to write to the company store to ask if they would carry it and when I told him we eventually found it he was pleasantly surprised. So, I guess that they are willing to spend lots of time helping you find something but not willing to spend 18 cents to help you return something. It is sad when local shoppers have difficulties at local stores and my positive experience won't likely increase my shopping at Safeway - I hate those stupid cards that track what you buy and yes I recognize that Winco can probably do the same thing just because I use a check- but they do have some nice folks at Safeway who try to do what they can. The best thing would be to focus all the blame at the corporate level because they are the ones who set the policy for such nit picky rules.

Sorry to hear that Bob. Even though I rarely shop at Safeway (I am a Winco fan myself) I recently had an amazingly positive experience at Safeway. I had heard about a product that I wanted to try and according to the products website, the FG Safeway carried it. So I went there. After I couldn't find it I asked someone in the produce section where it might be and they helped me look for it. We couldn't find it but they found someone for me in the refrigerated section. While we were there a manager tried to help and someone from the deli too. After we were all about to give up, someone came off break and they looked as well and we finally found it near the yogurt. As I was leaving the manager who had helped earlier gave me a card to write to the company store to ask if they would carry it and when I told him we eventually found it he was pleasantly surprised. So, I guess that they are willing to spend lots of time helping you find something but not willing to spend 18 cents to help you return something. It is sad when local shoppers have difficulties at local stores and my positive experience won't likely increase my shopping at Safeway - I hate those stupid cards that track what you buy and yes I recognize that Winco can probably do the same thing just because I use a check- but they do have some nice folks at Safeway who try to do what they can. The best thing would be to focus all the blame at the corporate level because they are the ones who set the policy for such nit picky rules.

We all walked past about 3 times without any of us seeing it. The last one just happened to be the one that spotted it because she didn't know if they really carried it or not. I guess I had just been assertive about the internet page claiming that it was there at the FG store. The thought that ran through my mind when this happened was that there must have been a recent training session or something about customer service because it did seem highly unusual to have so much help and all at once. It is just an example that on this occasion they did make a huge effort at customer service. In my mind they should have done the same for your problem.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <050A7A20-CA7E-4B6D-9C66-59350BECA4E1@verizon.net> Ah, the irony of having "Promise Keepers" and the like find that when they preach and preach and preach about keeping your pants on, they can't understand why the entire republican party becomes a laughing stock. War is peace. Bomb bomb bomb Iran. Greed at the top should get tax cuts - always and repeatedly. Jobs should be shipped over seas. If you have 3 affairs/mistresses ala Newt and Giuliani you rise to a position of power in the family value party. And never have regulators inspect peanut processors because dead people who ate rotten peanut butter crackers are no longer at any risk. If there was such a thing as The Mirror of Hypocrisy they would not be able to see their own reflection in it. It all boils down to a philosophy of power. If republicans have power then they can do no wrong. Their mistakes toward their constituents are never an issue -heckuva job Brownie! Their transgressions toward their spouses are never a problem - keep your senate seat or your governorship regardless of what you said about the president 8 years ago. Their transgressions toward their politics isn't even much of an issue - unless it involves a tax increase or abortion. Bush I got clobbered because he said 'read my lips' and raised taxes. Schwartzenegger could be a true 'God' of the party but he messed up with taxes, now he is a pariah. Of course you can run spending up as high as you want to go as long as you claim that you didn't. ie Sarah Palin - "I turned down the money for the bridge to nowhere" (but only after she started spending it). None of us have any illusions that Democrats are saints, they are not. (And Teddy Kennedy has worked very hard to atone for his transgressions, though for many who preach forgiveness, they will never be able to forgive him.) Right now the timing is very unfortunate for the republicans. My heart goes out to the wives and children who don't deserve the unwanted spot light. The rest of us can chuckle about the whole 'promise keeper' political farce but for the families it is a very painful and publicly humiliating revelation. While the republican party deserves the scrutiny about the differences between their family value declarations and their actions, the families deserve our condolences.

Every time I go into Safeway here in Forest Grove I am reminded why my wife Pat and I now do virtually all of our grocery, pharmacy, and household goods shopping at Fred Meyer and Costco. Yesterday Pat got the craving for some macaroni salad and, rather than have to go out of town, she popped into Safeway for a couple of things. As usual, she paid with her airmiles American Express card. When we got ready for dinner last night, she realized that there was no shrink-wrap sealer around the lip of the lid. But, not thinking much of it, it got worse when she opened the snap top to find that the plastic cover over the salad was not sealed on the front and two sides. While it did not appear that anyone had taken any salad out of the container, in an abundance of caution we opted to fore go any of her hoped for macaroni salad . This morning a few minutes after 9:00 am I popped into Safeway to return the salad. Finding the customer service counter not only unattended, but the lights above the counter still turned off, I found an employee to whom I explained our situation and made inquiry as to where to go to return the salad. I was directed to the other end of the checker row where, after once again explaining my situation, and the second person to whom I spoke making inquiry with several of her co-workers, I was sent back to the customer service counter (the overhead lights of which were still off) to see a manager. For the third time I explained my need, showed this person the product, explained why we choose not to eat it, and, not desiring to tell her about a foot problem and to have to walk the entire length of the store to the deli area , noted that I wanted to get a refund. Upon her request, I then showed her my wife's receipt from the previous day's purchase. That's when things got sticky. She immediately asked for the credit card with which it had been purchased; I assume she was intending to put the refund back onto the card so that Safeway would save the $0.18 in servicer fee (on the $3.99 purchase price) they paid American Express. Noting that I did not have the card with me since it was my wife who made the purchase, she abruptly explained to me that she could not do the refund. However, after some fairly insistent prompting on my part, she did note on the receipt that the product had been returned and that a refund was yet due to my wife. Now, I realize that 18 cents is not a huge sum of money. However, that cuts two ways. As someone who used to spend over $600 per month at Safeway, one would think that they might desire to have me back as a customer. But, no, I was treated as just another cipher, someone else to be inconvenienced so they could return to what ever they may have been doing before I came in. Which, unlike Fred Meyer, often consists of long lines, several checkers with surly attitudes (though I really do miss seeing some others), crowded aisles, and dirty floors. Oh, yes, despite a number of requests, they still play their outside speaker so loud we can hear it in my office across the parking lot!! So, I guess I will continue to drive to Cornelius or to Hillsboro for my grocery shopping needs - just one more person going out of town rather than supporting our local stores. But, it must not matter since, if Safeway really needed my business, I guess they would work a little harder to keep me as a customer. Maybe at least 18 cents harder!! bob browning forest grove _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live?

I normally get my meds through an online pharmacy. But occasionally I need something once and/or right away so I go to Bi-Mart. I found there are more than one generic versions of certain drugs and had to ask/insist on the less expensive one. I have insurance so it was only $5.00. If I had accepted the other generic it would have been $45.00 even with the insurance!

We are conditioned to allow people to have their private space in public spaces by ignoring them. So, some people insist on being noticed through loud noises like the old boom boxes or the newer cell phone conversations. In the past, if someone jabbered endlessly to empty air we presumed that they were out of touch with reality. They weren't all there. Now, thanks to cell phones, they are out of touch with ... locality. They aren't all here.
