Lillian Copeland (November 25, 1904 – July 7, 1964) was an American athlete, who excelled in weight throwing. She has been called “the most successful female discus thrower in U.S. history”, despite the fact that she held multiple titles in shot put and javelin throwing as well.
Until the Beijing Games, she was the only American woman to win the discus throw at a modern Olympiad.
She was also the first Olympian who was an alumna of the University of Southern California and Los Angeles High School.

Today is International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women
[Women’s activists have marked November 25 as a day against violence since 1981. On December 17, 1999, the United Nations General Assembly designated 25 November as the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women (Resolution 54/134). The UN invited governments, international organizations and NGOs to organize activities designated to raise public awareness of the problem on this day as an international observance. Women around the world are subject to rape, domestic violence and other forms of violence, and the scale and true nature of the issue is often hidden.
This date came from the brutal assassination in 1960, of the three Mirabal sisters, political activists in the Dominican Republic, on orders of Dominican dictator Rafael Trujillo (1930-1961).
There is more information about the history of this day, and UN publications relating to violence against women, at the UN’s Dag Hammarskjöld Library. The UNIFEM (United Nations Development Fund for Women) also has a regular observance of the day, and offers suggestions for others to observe it.]
Download the Publication “Gender Equality Now”.
Sign your name to the Petition “Say NO to Violence Against Women“.
This date also marks the beginning of 16 days of Activism against Gender Violence, culminating on December Tenth, with International Human Rights Day.

EPA Moves to Ease Pollution Rules
Power Plants May Be Able to Operate Longer Hours With Less Regulation
By MATTHEW BLAKE 11/24/08 3:55 PM
The Environmental Protection Agency seems on the brink of issuing a new regulation that would make it easier for power plants to operate longer hours — and emit more pollution.
Under the proposed rule, power plants would be able to measure their rate of emissions on an hourly basis instead of their annual total output. As long as the hourly emissions stay at or below the plant’s established maximum, the plant would be treated as if it were operating cleanly — even if its total annual emissions increased as plant managers stepped up output.

Politico.com Breaking News:
Delaware’s Governor Ruth Ann Minner (D-Del.) has appointed Joe Biden’s longtime senior adviser Ted Kaufman to succeed Biden in the Senate.
It appears that Vice President Elect Joe Biden intends to remain in his Senate seat until January. Kaufman was part of Biden’s transition team and is currently on the Broadcasting Board of Governors. Someone will have to replace him there. Anyone got any idea how this will affect the bill stuck in Biden’s Foreign Relations Committee that will help Afghani women?

The team is economic team official and subject to confirmation. Heather Higginbottom only warranted a stub thus far in Wikipedia, but I included it in her linked name, because I expect they will get their act together. Included HERE is Obama’s Presidential Campaign Staff members list. You can see Higginbottom was always on the domestic team. Previously she worked for John Kerry.
President-elect Barack Obama officially announced economic team members: Timothy Geithner, Secretary of the Treasury; Lawrence Summers, Director of the National Economic Council; Christina Romer, Director of the Council of Economic Advisors; Melody Barnes, Director of the Domestic Policy Council; and Heather Higginbottom, Deputy Director of the Domestic Policy Council.
