We need not go too far back in time; 2008 is a good fully on its own by then. place to begin. Each round of bailout negotiations was excruciating: each time In the years since the global financial crash of 2008, the country’s creditors re-examined Greece’s finances, things looked worse. This led name has been synonymous with crisis. Thanks to a variety of factors to a downward spiral of trust and the imposition of ever-stricter within and beyond its control, ranging from fiscal profligacy to conditions on the disbursal of bailout funds. Clearly unable to survive geography, Greece has become the epicenter for a convergence of without those funds—certainly not within the EU—Greece took the crises—economic, political, and demographic—besetting the European money and, grudgingly, the conditions attached to it. The sense of Union as a whole. None of these challenges are unique to Greece, but being dictated to by the EU, plus years of grinding austerity that have they have hit hard there, exposing deeper fault lines in the EU as a followed, have precipitated a political crisis: with business as usual so whole.

Our annual Holiday Social on December 5 at Cinque Terre in the Old Port, was combined with a 10th anniversary party – an event to mark the milestone in the Sister City relationship between Portland, Maine and Mytilene, Lesvos, Greece. Preceding this event, letters of congratulations were exchanged (with the help of HSoM member Nicos Provatas in Mytilene) between Mayor Michael Brennan and the Mayor of Mytilene, Dimitrios Vounatsos, who also sent gifts of books and copies of Mytilene City medallions to Mayor Brennan and HSoM president, Mary Snell. For the anniversary social we were honored to have as our special guests Mayor Brennan, and Portland City Council members Nick Mavodones and Ed Suslovic, as well as Neale Duffett, a representative of The Archangel Committee for our Russian Sister City. Sister City relationships are an important way for ordinary citizens of a city to come in contact with the people of another country and, through continual engagement, learn about their society, their politics, economics and culture. These kinds of friend- Mayor Brennan reads the letter from ships, we believe, promote world understanding and thus Mayor Vounatsos as Nick Mavodones, peace on a most basic level. and Ed Suslovic listen Our growing relationship with Mytilene was formal- ized in 2003 when, on October 17, a reception for a delegation from Mytilene was held in the State of Maine Room of Portland City Hall.

  • District Court Activism in Criminal Justice Reform
    THE “NEW” DISTRICT COURT ACTIVISM IN CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM JESSICA A. ROTH* Historically, the debate over the judicial role has centered on the consti- tutional and administrative law decisions of the United States Supreme Court, with an occasional glance at the Federal Courts of Appeals. It has, moreover, been concerned solely with the “in-court” behavior of Article III appellate judges as they carry out their power and duty “to say what the law is” in the context of resolving “cases and controversies.” This Article seeks to deepen the discussion of the appropriate role of Article III judges by broaden- ing it to trial, as well as appellate, judges; and by distinguishing between an Article III judge’s “decisional” activities on the one hand, and the judge’s “hortatory” and other activities on the other. To that end, the Article focuses on a cohort of deeply respected federal district judges-many of whom, al- though not all, experienced Clinton appointees in the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York–who, over the last decade, have challenged conven- tional norms of judicial behavior to urge reform of fundamental aspects of the federal criminal justice system. These “new” judicial activists have made their case for reform in the pages of their judicial opinions, often in dicta; in articles and speeches; and through advocacy within and beyond the judicial branch. This Article summarizes this activity, places it in historical context, and assesses its value as well as its risks. I. Introduction......................................... 278 II.

    Sandra Ghandi Al Azzeh, Education for Employment alumnus Sandra Ghandi Al Azzeh is an alumnus of Education for Employment (EFE). She graduated from Bethlehem University in 2012 with a degree in Hotel Management. Despite the challenging job market in Palestine she was able to find a receptionist position in the hostel of a local Lutheran Church. After three years there, she realized that there was no opportunity for advancement and felt that she was being exploited as a young worker. Looking to advance her career, in 2013 she applied for the hospitality training program at Palestine Education for Employment (PEFE). PEFE had partnered with Ararat Hotel, a luxury hotel and the second largest in Bethlehem, to help the hotel source entry-level employees with strong time management, customer service and communications skills needed for positions in the hospitality agency. After the month- long training course, Sandra was placed into a job at Ararat and has quickly moved up in the ranks, becoming a front office supervisor. She aims to become the general manager of a hotel, and wants to focus specifically on recruiting young, entry-level employees.
