    H CURRENT HISPANIC-AMERICAN MEMBERS H Albio Sires 1951– UNITED STATES REPRESENTATIVE 2006– DEMOCRAT FROM NEW JERSEY “I am in a good position for New Jersey and my district,” Albio Sires told a Newark reporter in 2009. With seats on powerful committees overseeing the interests of his busy upstate district, Sires has been able to champion transportation and immigration issues that hit close to home. As he said, “You’re always trying to help your constituents.”1 Image courtesy of the Member Albio Sires was born on January 26, 1951, in Bejucal, Cuba. His family fled Fidel Castro’s government in 1962 and settled in West New York, New Jersey, where his parents, who had a grade school education, worked in the factories. He graduated from West New York’s Memorial High School in 1970 and earned a bachelor’s degree from St. Peter’s College in Jersey City in 1974. Sires returned to his old high school to teach Spanish and English as a Second Language, coaching the basketball team after classes. In 1985 Sires received a master’s degree in Spanish from Middlebury College in Vermont. He is married to Adrienne Sires and has a stepdaughter, Tara Kole.2 In his first bid for public office, Sires ran as a Democrat for mayor of West New York in 1983, losing to longtime incumbent Anthony DeFino. Three years later he ran as a Republican for New Jersey’s 14th U.S. Congressional District seat held by Democrat Frank J. Guarini, Jr. Sires lost that year, but New Jersey Governor Thomas Kean soon hired him to improve the communication between his administration and the Hispanic community.

But perhaps it is no accident that if one takes the lectures by Norman Baynes and Peter Brown as at least touching on Byzantium, even if only concerned with its earliest history,all three have been on religious topics.The question is why this should be the case. Certainly the Byzantines themselves had a high understanding of Orthodoxy.Afourteenth-century patriarch grandly stated that he had been given the ‘care of all the world’.2 They certainly give the impression of having what modern political theorists call a ‘comprehensive doctrine’, and they undoubtedly aspired to such an ideal.3 In the sixth century the Read at the Academy 26 April 2007. 1 See Norman H.

Governing New Jersey: Reflections on the Publication of a Revised and Expanded Edition of 'The Governors of New Jersey' Abstract New Jersey’s chief executive enjoys more authority than any but a handful of governors in the United States. Historically speaking, however, New Jersey’s governors exercised less influence than met the eye. In the colonial period few proprietary or royal governors were able to make policy in the face of combative assemblies. The Revolutionary generation’s hostility to executive power contributed to a weak governor system that carried over into the 19th and 20th centuries, until the Constitution was thoroughly revised in 1947.

    The Women's Project Resource Guide.Pdf

    THE WOMEN’S PROJECT HEALTH RESOURCE GUIDE The Women’s Project is funded by Providing court-involved women with excellence in integrated healthcare and employment services. 1 Women in prison have long suffered because prisons and jails have often been designed by men for men. In addition, women’s healthcare—as applies to medical, behavioral, including mental health and addiction, and particularly OB/GYN—has often been ignored at best or at worst been a source of maltreatment and malfeasance. We are most grateful to the strong leadership and support of Senate President Stephen Sweeney and Assembly Speaker Craig Coughlin or their sponsorship and ongoing support of the Women’s Reentry Commission. Thank you to Governor Murphy for his commitment to reentry, supporting legislative enactments that expand reentry accountability, and providing for greater prisoner releases during the Public Health Emergency. Particularly, we are indebted to the members of the Commission, who have steered The Women’s Project to today’s resource directory, integrated healthcare delivery system, and navigation & case management referral. Through the clear and powerful support of women’s state legislative leadership, the Women’s Reentry Commission Report was issued as a critical pathway toward improving the conditions for women in prison and upon reentry. The Women’s Project is an outgrowth of that report, specifically answering the need for integrated women’s healthcare. The Resource Guide provides a comprehensive survey of medical, mental health, and addiction treatment services in each of the eight (8) New Jersey Reentry Corporation county sites. Working with the leadership of The Women’s Reentry Commission, NJRC case management staff, and our women’s health navigators, our goal is to provide the best healthcare for women leaving incarceration and reentering the general community.

Its surface object is political ritual in the early Middle Ages. By necessity, this object must be vague, because historians have, col- lectively at least, piled a vast array of motley practices into the category. In the process, no doubt, splendid studies have vastly enlarged the historical discipline’s map of early medieval political culture.1 We are indebted for many stimulating insights to the crossbreeding of history and anthropol- ogy—an encounter that began before World War II and picked up speed in the 1970s. From late antiquity to the early modern era, from Peter Brown to Richard Trexler, it revolutionized our ways of looking at the past. In this meeting, ritual loomed large.2 Yet from the start, it should be said that the present essay ends up cau- tioning against the use of the concept of ritual for the historiography of the Middle Ages. It joins those voices that have underscored how social- scientific models should be employed with extreme caution, without eclec- ticism, and with full and constant awareness of their intellectual genealo- gies.3 In the pages that follow, then, the use of the term “ritual” is provi- sional and heuristic (the ultimate aim being to suggest other modes of 1 See, e.g., Gerd Althoff, Spielregeln der Politik im Mittelalter.

    Viewpoints No. 102 Saudi Arabia Faces the Missing 28 Pages David B. Ottaway Middle East Fellow, Woodrow Wilson Center May 2016 The question of possible Saudi links to the 9/11 hijackers has haunted and soured relations between the United States and Saudi Arabia for 15 years. Now the probable release of 28 classified pages from a congressional probe plus pressure from Congress to strip the Saudi government of its sovereign immunity to allow 9/11 families to sue the kingdom in U.S. courts are forcing yet another examination of the Saudi role in the worst act of terrorism ever perpetuated on American soil. Middle East Program ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ In December 2002, a joint Senate-House intelligence committee published its findings on the horrendous 9/11 terrorist attacks, which included evidence of possible links between the government of Saudi Arabia and some of the 15 Saudis involved in the bombings of the Pentagon and Twin Towers that cost nearly 3,000 American lives. For national security reasons, the 28 pages detailing that information were never published. But they may be shortly and revive yet another intense examination of alleged Saudi support for anti-American terrorism. The famous missing pages, if now declassified, will likely put the former Saudi ambassador to Washington, Prince Bandar bin Sultan, and his wife, Haifa, back in the limelight. Some of the allegations after the attacks focused on the royal couple’s financial aid to the Saudi spouse of a student who appeared to have had contacts with two of the hijackers living in California, Nawaf al-Hazmi and Khalid al-Mihdhar, prior to 9/11.
