Just 26 days before the American electorate chooses a suc- cessor to her husband on Nov 8, a visibly angry first lady deliv- ered a fiery takedown of the real estate mogul and his “dis- graceful” behavior. “Now is the time for all of us to stand up and say, enough is enough,” Mrs Obama told a rally for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire. “This has got to stop right now.” Her husband turned up the heat later yesterday, jetting to the key swing state of Ohio to lash Republicans tight to their sinking ship. The New York mogul came from a “swamp of crazy” that Republicans had cultivated over decades, Obama told the state where Trump has long held a lead but where a poll on Thursday edged Clinton ahead. Obama warned that American “democracy itself” is on the ballot. He trashed Trump as a dictator-in-the-making, but also voiced concerns about how Trump’s legion of supporters might react to a possible election defeat. “Civility is on the ballot,” Obama told a group of largely young voters in the swing state. “Tolerance is on the ballot,” he continued. “Courtesy is on the ballot. Honesty is on the ballot. Equality is on the ballot. Kindness is on the ballot. All the progress we made in the last eight years is on the ballot,” he said. “Democracy itself is on the ballot right now.” With an eye on winning back control of Congress, Obama also used the rally in Cleveland to lash Republicans tight to US President Barack Obama arrives to speak at a Hillary for America campaign event in Cleveland yesterday.

Deqbasi proposed that electoral districts be based on the six existing governorates in the country, with four of the governorates electing 10 MPs each and the remaining two electing just five lawmakers each to make up the 50 members of the National Assembly. According to the bill, residential areas in the Capital governorate will make up the first constituency, which will elect 10 MPs. Each eligible voter will be allowed to select a maximum of four candidates. Hawally, Farwaniya and Ahmadi governorates will make the sec- ond, third and fourth constituencies respectively, and each of them will elect 10 lawmakers. Also, each voter in these districts can select a maximum of four candidates. The last two districts will be that of Mubarak Al-Kabeer and Jahra governorates, with each electing five MPs and every voter allowed to select up to two candidates.

    The SHRIVER Report A Woman’s Nation Changes Everything Edited by Heather Boushey and Ann O'Leary A Study by Maria Shriver and the Center for American Progress The SHRIVER Report A Woman’s Nation Changes Everything A Study by Maria Shriver and the Center for American Progress October 2009 Edited by Heather Boushey and Ann O'Leary with Karen Skelton and Ed Paisley Leslie Miller and Laura Nichols Preface By John D. Podesta arlier this year, the Center for American Progress decided to closely examine the consequences of what we thought was a major tipping point Ein our nation’s social and economic history: the emergence of working women as primary breadwinners for millions of families at the same time that their presence on America’s payrolls grew to comprise fully half the nation’s workforce. In addition, we were watching the Great Recession amplify and accel- erate these trends. We are in the midst of a fundamental transformation of the way America works and lives. But my own interest wasn’t just academic. It sprang from a very personal source: my mother. My family wasn’t much like what we were watching on TV in the 1950s. My parents had a tag-team work life—my father working in a factory dur- ing the day; my mother in a pink-collar job from 5 p.m. until midnight. Like mil- lions of families today, they juggled, struggled, nurtured, laughed a lot, and fought a little so that their kids could lead good lives and get ahead. I don’t think my mother ever really thought of herself as a trendsetter, but she was at the leading edge of a wave that shaped America in the last half of the 20th century—a wave we call “a woman’s nation.” Though she recently passed away, she still serves as a role model for my daughters.

  • The Saban Forum a U.S.–Israel Dialogue
    The Saban Forum A U.S.–Israel Dialogue War and Peace in the Middle East November 3-5, 2007 Jerusalem 1775 Massachusetts Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20036 USA Phone: 202-797-6462, Fax: 202-797-2481 www.brookings.edu/sabancenter A Letter from Haim Saban Welcome to Jerusalem and the fourth annual Saban Forum. We are honored to welcome back many participants and privileged to have new guests join us. We are also grateful to those who traveled long distances to be here with us. This year’s Saban Forum, “War and Peace in the Middle East,” comes on the eve of the planned international peace meeting in Annapolis, Maryland, which may lead to the resumption of Israeli-Palestinian final status negotiations. That would be a silver lining in some of the dark clouds that threaten the Middle East’s horizon, from sectarian strife in Iraq, to Iran’s nuclear ambitions, and Islamic extremist challenges to the existing order. Our overall purpose in this year’s dialogue is to assess the prospects for both war and peace in the Middle East and consider what the United States and Israel can do about both challenges. We aim to foster a candid exchange of views among people with diverse experience and deep knowledge. As in past years, we are avoiding set-piece speeches in favor of short opening presentations and even shorter interventions. This year, we have also reduced the number of sessions, allowing for more time within each session for the dialogue. Because we want to hear from all of you, please be succinct and to the point.

  • HONOR ROLL of DONORS for the Time Period of July 1, 2011 Through June 30, 2012
    Children’s Hospital Los Angeles HONOR ROLL OF DONORS For the time period of July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2012 Children’s Hospital Los Angeles is a place of hope and healing because of our nurses, doctors and staff—and because of the vision, energy and generosity of our community of philanthropic partners and volunteer leaders. This community has played a pivotal role since the hospital’s founding in 1901 in a small clapboard house on Castelar Street, where a group of women united to address the lack of medical care for the city’s children. That dedication to children’s health and well-being has thrived for more than a century, as generations of women and men have stood up to lead and support the hospital in an increasingly complex world. Being the best isn’t easy. It takes hard work, dedication and commitment. And it takes a supportive community of volunteers and philanthropists like those listed on our Honor Roll—all of us unified by the noble mission to create hope and build healthier futures. We are honored to recognize individuals, organizations, corporations and foundations for their generosity during Fiscal Year 2012. This Honor Roll includes donors who contributed $1,000 or more in cash gifts, pledges or pledge payments. We also are proud to recognize those who have contributed gifts of $150 to $999 on the Red Wagon Society Honor Roll of Donors, available at CHLA.org/HonorRoll. We extend heartfelt thanks to those who, foregoing individual recognition, directed their generosity through one of our Associate and Affiliate or allied groups.
