Interview with Regina Sullivan by Brien Williams
No full textBiographical NoteRegina Sullivan was born on January 16, 1957, to Richard and Julia Sullivan in the Bronx, New York, and grew up in Washington, DC. Her father was chief counsel to the House Public Works and Transportation Committee and her mother ran a nonprofit organization called Candle Lighters Childhood Cancer Foundation. Regina was graduated from Bishop Dennis J. O’Connell High School and went on to Regis University in Denver, Colorado, where she received a degree in economics. During her senior year of college, she worked for Denver Mayor Bill McNichols. After graduation she returned to Washington, D.C., where she took a temporary job in Senator Ed Muskie’s office. She worked there for approximately four months helping the receptionist and doing filing. She went back to Denver to help run a city council race, and then decided to move back to Washington as a legislative correspondent in Muskie’s office. She stayed on when Mitchell was appointed to fill Muskie’s vacant Senate seat. When Charlie Jacobs came on staff as head of scheduling, she became his assistant. She worked on scheduling in Maine for the 1982 campaign; after Mitchell won the seat, she returned to Washington and worked as the deputy press secretary, later going back to the front office to do scheduling and worked as a liaison between Mitchell’s Senate staff and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) staff. In 1986 she left Mitchell’s office and started a government relations firm, now R. Sullivan & Associates, where she continued to work at the time of this interview.

George J. Mitchell: Maine\u27s Environmental Senator
No full textThe State of Maine is blessed with a history of impressive and respected politicians. Among others, the list includes James Blaine, Margaret Chase Smith, and Edmund S. Muskie. The State now must add the name of George J. Mitchell to these ranks. A native son of Waterville, Maine, he attended Bowdoin College, Georgetown University Law Center, and eventually catapulted himself into one of the most powerful political positions in the United States government when he was elected as majority leader of the United States Senate. During his tenure as majority leader, he helped to redefine the position through his strong work ethic, sense of fairness, and orientation toward results in the Senate. This Comment summarizes some of those results through an environmental lens, focusing on Mitchell\u27s contributions to federal environmental legislation in the late 1980s. As Mitchell served in the Senate for fourteen years, six as the majority leader, he sponsored or cosponsored countless pieces of legislation. Environmental protection, however, always was a focus of his public service. In that vein, this Comment canvasses Senator Mitchell\u27s influence on the provisions of the Water Quality Act of 1987, the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, and the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, three major legislative accomplishments aimed at protecting the environment. This Comment analyzes those provisions of each Act for which Senator Mitchell fought most ardently and discusses the different tactics and strategies he employed to secure passage of each of these important bills. Finally, this Comment is a tribute to a Maine native who dedicated his life to public service. This Author recognizes that no one Senator could be solely responsible for any of these three pieces of environmental legislation. Nonetheless, only a few Senators held the key to passage of each of these acts. George J. Mitchell was one of the those Senators. Senator Mitchell\u27s contributions to environmental law can be understood only by viewing his Senate career in context. First, Mitchell served as a Federal District Court Judge for the District of Maine

Carving a dialogical epistemology for investigating altruism: A reply to Mitchell and Eiroa–Orosa
No full textNoThis is a reply to Sue Mitchell and Francisco J. Eiroa-Orosa’s ‘Love
your enemy.’ The latter seeks to explore the self-transcending
potential of altruistic behaviour through a dialogical paradigm. It
not only initiates fresh discussion on the subject of altruism, but
also advances new discussion on Bakhtinian aesthetics. For the
continuation of this forward momentum, we suggest a more
nuanced approach to the placement of the ‘researcher’ within
the applied methodological matrix. Similarly, we also advocate
for the synthesising of research tools, often appropriated by theological
studies, into said methodological matrix.
This is a reply to:

The serious matter of language play in two EFL classrooms
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão. Programa de Pós-graduação em Letras/Inglês e Literatura CorrespondenteO presente estudo teve como objetivo investigar o fenômeno da Linguagem Lúdica (LL) nas interações em duas salas de aula de Língua Inglesa (LI), pois se acredita que a LL pode facilitar o desenvolvimento dos processos de aprendizagem da LI no ambiente de ensino formal de sala de aula. As idéias sobre o lúdico nos processos de aprendizagem sugeridas por Guy Cook (2000) e diferentes estudos baseados na perspectiva sociocultural (Mitchell e Myles, 1998; Kramsh e Sullivan, 1996; Sullivan, 2000a, 2000b; Broner e Tarone, 2001) deram o embasamento teórico para este estudo. Propôs-se determinar como a LL era caracterizada e classificada e verificar quais as funções as ocorrências de LL estariam exercendo nestas duas salas de aula de LI. Técnicas etnográficas foram aplicadas para que uma mais clara perspectiva do
