			When it comes to school spirit, Joey Henslee takes it personally. You may have seen him recently, covered in orange paint with black stripes, a big orange wig, dangling a rubber chicken. At last week's South Carolina-Clemson games, the TV cameras loved him. But this is nothing new for Henslee, a graduate of Stratford High School. He's been acting out like this his whole life.

			COLUMBIA â€" South Carolina has lost more than 1,000 manufacturing jobs in the past month as the state's economy continues to sour. The tiny town of Whitmire in Newberry County took the latest and biggest blow. The town's only major plant, owned by sock maker Renfro Corp., is closing at the end of January, leaving 570 workers without a job.
		UAW to suspend program that pays those not working DETROIT â€" The United Auto Workers said Wednesday it is willing to change its contracts with U.S. automakers and accept delayed payments of billions of dollars to a union-run health care trust to do its part to help the struggling companies secure $34 billion in government loans. United Auto Workers President Ron Gettelfinger said the union will suspend the jobs bank, in which laid-off workers are paid up to 95 percent of their salaries while not working, but he did not give specifics or a timetable of when the program will end. Tests show fewer toys with lead NEW YORK â€" After the high-profile recalls of millions of lead-contaminated toys last year, a watchdog group said Wednesday that its tests found fewer toys with high levels of chemicals in them this year.

King Street's Pete Banis Shoes closing After 50 years in business, Pete Banis Shoes will close its doors at the end of the month. The King Street store, owned by Drew and Ernie Banis, is known for carrying footwear that mimics couture fashion but with a more affordable price tag.

In this beleaguered economy, you're pinching every penny, but you may not notice that many manufacturers are offering less in the same packaging you've gotten used to.

No Makeover for Gitmo | Obama Should Go After Bush's Torture Team | The White House's Last Secrets

Rights & Liberties Newsletter December 3rd, 2008 More from Rights & Liberties »

Why Won't the Bush Administration Release the Uighur Prisoners at Gitmo? By Daphne Eviatar, Washington Independent As the Bush term ends, his administration is using every possible excuse to keep its captives from the "war on terror" imprisoned. Read more »   A short article in Newsweek recently discussed the possibility that President-elect Barack Obama will seek criminal investigations against members of the Bush administration responsible for torture in the so-called "war on terror." Despite the hopes of many human rights advocates, the new Obama Justice Department is not likely to launch major new criminal probes of harsh interrogations and other alleged abuses by the Bush administration. But one idea that has currency among some top Obama advisers is setting up a 9/11-style commission that would investigate counterterrorism policies and make public as many details as possible. "At a minimum, the American people have to be able to see and judge what happened," said one senior adviser, who asked not to be identified." I recently spoke to Michael Ratner of the Center for Constitutional Rights about this proposal, as well as the fact that Obama advisors seem set against prosecuting Bush-era officials for torture. In his view, this is a grave error. "If laws can be broken with impunity today, they can and will be broken with impunity tomorrow," he says. "Not just laws against torture and war crimes, but any and all laws; any and all limits on government." Tomorrow in New York, Ratner will join legal scholar and Harpers contributor Scott Horton, who has written at length on the subject, as well as Elizabeth Holtzman, author of The Impeachment of George W. Bush (Nation Books), Antonio Taguba, Major General (U.S. Army Ret.), and others for a discussion titled "After Torture: A Harper's Magazine Forum on justice in the post-Bush era." The event is free and open to the public. For more information, go here.

John D. Podesta, Obama-Biden Transition Project - Video: A new type of discussion

 

Dear PAC, Transparency and engagement are priorities for the Obama-Biden Transition Project. Our success depends on not only opening up a process that has historically been inaccessible to most Americans, but also encouraging citizen participation. Last week, we took an important step towards these goals by asking the public to participate in a discussion about health care on our website. The result was fantastic. Started by a question from our Health Policy Team, thousands of comments poured in over a few days. Some people answered the initial question, but others engaged with one another debating and developing new ideas and approaches to health care reform. Members of our Health Policy Team, including former Senator Tom Daschle, read through these comments over Thanksgiving weekend. Yesterday, they sat down to record a special video response. Watch it and join the discussion: This is just the beginning. These discussions are a valuable resource for Transition staff and an important way to ensure that everyone has a voice in the process. Thank you, John John D. Podesta Co-Chair Obama-Biden Transition Project
