AMAZONES,
WOMEN MASTER DRUMMERS, is a performance ensemble comprised of
accomplished singers, dancers and percussionists from Guinea, West
Africa. In a roaring spectacle of power and virtuosity, the
women perform
their country’s traditional
repertoire, emanating
a graceful proficiency that clearly differs from the masculine
drumming style.
The
djembe in Guinea is an instrument historically reserved for male
players. AMAZONES is a daring response to antiquated taboos that
stretch back thousands of years. Through their powerful, energetic and
grandiose performance, AMAZONES, WOMEN MASTER DRUMMERS hopes to bridge
cultural and gender gaps through a spirit of celebration, music and
dance.

[from the January 8, 2007 issue]
Mark Dearden chooses his words with extreme precision. And not just with
the deliberateness of a 36-year-old with a BA from Brigham Young, an MA
in public health from Tulane and an MD from George Washington
University. Dearden is also an active-duty lieutenant commander in the
Navy who joined in 1997 and is still considering the possibility of a
lifetime military career. "So this was a very difficult decision for me
to come to," he says in a quiet, thoughtful voice. "I don't take this
decision lightly."

From FCNL :
Iraq is coming apart at the seams. As the whole world reacts in horror,
we at FCNL see in high relief what former Sen. Fulbright called “the
arrogance of power.” The irresponsible U.S. intervention in Iraq places
a heavy moral burden on everyone in the United States and a binding
legal obligation on the U.S. government to try to make Iraq whole
again. But the fiasco of unilateral U.S. actions in Iraq should not be
compounded by unilateral U.S. decisions of what to do now and when to
leave.
