British 'End of Life' Panels Are Bad News for Everyone
The Daily Mail received a lot of attention this week for an article entitled, "3,000 doctors putting patients on 'death lists' that single them out to be allowed to die."
Now, some of the feedbacks that the Mail received claimed that the End of Life Care Strategy (Fourth Annual Report) implied nothing of the sort.
But on page 8 of the report, we come to the following statement, "Find Your 1%, which aims to engage GPs in identifying the individuals on their lists who might be in their last year of life, so that they can undertake end of life care planning with them, has reached its midpoint target of 1,000 GPs signed up by August 2012."
This is fairly clear. General practitioners are being encouraged by the Government Department of Health to make lists of people who they believe are not going to live long. But that's not all. There are other unmistakable statements in the report that make it clear the mandate to provide end-of-life care is going to be aggressively implemented throughout the British state-run health care system.
Ministers have made a commitment to evaluate progress on end of life care to determine whether it is possible to introduce a right to choose to die at home. Over the next year the focus will continue to be on supporting people to be cared for and to die in their place of choice, providing community-based services to enable this to happen. Integration of services is key to this and will be a theme for the new Improvement Body, which will enable us to continue to work with our range of partners in the statutory, voluntary and private sectors. At the same time the Transform programme will continue to support improvement in end of life care in hospitals.
The local Electronic Palliative Care Coordination System/ End of Life Care Locality Register is about to go live which will be vital for communication between the agencies involved in the care of these patients. The CCG has also developed a 'Gold card' scheme, which identifies these end of life care patients to health and social care professionals as well as helping patients access appropriate care.
Unlike many other socialized systems that are quasi-private in some elements, the British system is full-on government run. This makes what's going on especially worrisome. There is no government in the world, historically speaking, that has ever handled life and death situations fairly over time. Bureaucrats are incapable of dealing with such situations fairly.
More likely, the power to wield death is abused. The more opportunities government has to wield death, the more those involved will do so. This is simply an ineluctable prerogative of government.
Death programs are like any other government service, actually. They will be continually expanded and made more complex to ensure the expansion of the departments in question. Eventually, people could die simply to ensure that a department meets certain quotas.
All this is written indelibly unless this program is stopped now. But it won't be stopped. There is reason to believe, in fact, that it is gaining in momentum. It is meant to gain traction in tandem with the US program called Obamacare.
This is how the power elite works. They tend to advance certain activities not unilaterally but in harness with several great powers at once. Whether it is monetary regulation, education or other regulatory facilities, programmatic specifics are pushed forward together in an unstoppable rush.
The US has passed a health care plan that will support British policies, and no doubt we'll see exactly the same sort of regulation evolving throughout Europe and then in the developing world. China surely won't put up any resistance. The Daily Mail does us the favor of bluntly cataloguing the possibilities as follows:
Thousands of patients have already been placed on 'death registers' which single them out to be allowed to die in comfort rather than be given life-saving treatment in hospital, it emerged last night.
Nearly 3,000 doctors have promised to draw up a list of patients they believe are likely to die within a year, Department of Health figures showed yesterday ...
They have been asked to earmark elderly patients who show signs of frailty or deterioration during routine consultations at their surgeries.
Although more than 7,000 patients nationwide have already been put on the list, there appears to be no obligation for doctors to inform them.
Some medical professionals went public with their worries yesterday following the Daily Mail's disclosure of the NHS request to doctors to put one in every 100 of their patients on death lists.
Dr Peter Saunders, of the Christian Medical Fellowship, warned about the risks of drawing up 'quotas' for the dying.
'We all know that doctors' estimates of patients' lifespans can be sometimes accurate but sometimes wildly inaccurate,' he said. 'A skilled doctor can in the great majority of cases assess when a patient is within a few hours or days of death. However, once we start to talk about weeks or months we know that we can often be right, but equally very badly wrong.'
The NHS is pushing for the death lists at a time when a keystone of its 'end of life strategy', the Liverpool Care Pathway, has come under fierce criticism from leading medical figures and families who believe their loved ones have been wrongly picked out in hospitals as dying.
None of this will end well. It will start with the aged and infirm and logically proceed to infants that will be diagnosed as having little or no chance at a "quality of life."
Finally, it will provoke outright eugenics. It was trending in that direction in Hitler's Germany and the same entities that helped fund that unsavory period of the 20th century are no doubt behind this, as well, one way or another.
The path being chosen is the one that turned the 20th century into one of the world's bloodiest with some 150 million murdered by government policies, wars and incarceration.
Ultimately there is nothing caring about these "end of life" policies. And they warn us of much worse to come.

In reply to Hope's message, yes I can agree, the hospice that was used in my mom's case (she had cancer) worked as hard as they could to shorten her life at the same time I worked as hard as I could to prolong it. They gave no food and water (and I understand that was not their job) but they drugged her up with hidden skin colored synthetic morphine patches so she was too drugged to eat or drink and they said she wouldn't notice not having any water. I would pull the patches off when I found them and she would come around, and I would give her water and soup through a dropper. I had to call the police on this hospice,as they openly admitted they thought she should die as quickly as possible.
This went on for awhile and the next day after I had called the police on them, when nobody was home to look out for my mom they sent a young black girl in alone, and when my dad got home hours later my mom was dead. I feel very sure they gave her a lethal dose of morphine because they were very mad at me for calling the police and the head bulldog nurse did not like to be challenged. I reported it to the police and they said there was nothing they could do.
So just beware! Not saying all hospices are like this, but have read many other similar reports, alot of this type of thing going on in V.A. hospitals, I fully believe euthanasia is already being carried out by some of these people, in my book when another *without* the patient's permission, decides that someone else's life isn't worth living and administers a lethal dose of morphine to an unwitting patient they have committed MURDER!

Personally, I don't have health insurance. I have good genes and I live a very healthy life style. I save lots of money that way. I have a doctor to set my broken bones. That seems to be all I need. I broke my back 3 times without seeing a doctor.
Ribs and ankles a few times. I did have to go to the Doc for a broken leg and a crushed foot. Burns and concussions don't merit a Doc. Mega-parasites require a Doc.
Got my eye destroyed by a 6 y.o. with a tiny fist. That required a Doc (surgeon).
Got medical on my car policy. Had 2 head-ons and didn't use it. Medical insurance never seemed like it was worthwhile.
Posted by rkdennis on 10/21/12 05:23 PM
I'm happy to hear that you have health insurance, especially since you state that you have had to sacrafice to obtain that coverage. The median wage in the US is $26,364, median husehold income is $46,326. Average cost of a family health insurance plan is $15,745. The average worker at Wal Mart (that company has about 2 + million employees) makes about $9.00 per hour, or $18,720 a year for full time work. Two full time wage earners at Wal Mart make $37,400. So, 42% of before tax income goes to health insurance. Is this what you do?

What some may not understand is that the government will be in control of ALL healthcare via limiting what the doctors will be allowed to treat. It will not matter if you are using your own purchased insurance, or government issued. When govenment controls the whole industry, deciding even what your insurance can cover, we are all in the same boat. And that includes even if you are willing to pay cash (which of course is already starting to be unacceptable).

Hmmm, there isn't much I can add to the discussion. I should mention ATTITUDE.
Here are some numbers;
"There is over USD 4.83 trillion benchmarked to the index, with index assets comprising approximately USD 1.1 trillion of this total " S&P 500
"Fiscal 2011 shows that the under-funded level for S&P 500 companies' defined pensions reached an epic $354.7 billion - an increase of over $100 billion from 2010"
Click to view link
OK, a big minus $100 billion yoy. Mind you, these are IN-HOUSE pensions. This is compensation, not for the public but, for domestic producers.
The attitude is quite simple.
If you are not CURRENTLY producing for US, you are useless surplus. If the "disposable" attitude permeates the corporatocracy, why would you expect it to be different in the general public?
The politicians promised things to get elected. The corporatocracy is executing a "course change".
There is still plenty of guilt to go around after condemning the disposable attitude of the corporate mentality.
I've stayed in a hospital in Mexico. There was a second bed in the room because it was expected that a family member would co-stay to take care of the minor needs of the patient.
My mother was a nurse at the V.A. hospital. She saw hundreds of people die. When she got cancer that she couldn't shake, she wanted to be at home. She had her morphine pump and a nice view of the garden. She drank champagne every day and had her kids to look after her. She didn't want to die in some sterile hospital full of strangers. After a certain point, she refused to take any liquids. We didn't argue.
There is a big difference between "living" and just "existing".

You say:
"... we already have a "death list' in the USA. The people on that list are the people without health care insurance... ."
I am not on that list. Because, I have bought a health insurance. To do that, I purchased less macaroni and cheese and TV than I could purchase with the money I got paid for doing what other people did not want to do. Seems like a simple formula to me...
Why don't these 45% do likewise? You are going to say they are poor. I am willing to bet you that 99% of them will have more items in their possession than I am, and that 99,9% of them will have more items of discretionary entertainment value, such as coffee mugs, x-box discs, video tapes, paraphernalia, etc.
So, I would bet that they could afford same or better health insurance than I do, if they only rejected the stupid things.
In my opinion, those who delegated their later days care to the government are getting what they truly deserved. They wanted to steal from others? Well, someone stole from them first! Just like the horrors that will happen to those who will delegate their healthcare to the government, will receive in the near future.
You always get paid according to whether the horse you put your money on won or lost. Fortunately, telling which horse will come first on these sort of races is ridiculously easy.

Anthony, dear Sir , you are 1000% what you say and what you care.
I am a doctor and I am a very sinfull person as doctor :
I;ve saved almost 200 old and "terminaly"very ill people ,sent home to die in few days and weeks. Not months.
I save people because I was doctor( the good one if mind) and my duty was a pleasure to contradict plentfully all big academic institutions and their allegation based only on false permises and institutionalized ignorance.
Thank you Anthony at least one person who care about the meaning of life of at least one person.
The rest is "Green Soylent " ... !!!!

Lame, Darby, lame, advocating a closed forum, limited to those who you perceive to share your opinions. Talk about the essence of sheeplism. Hypocrite much?
Posted by ratnadaka on 10/21/12 05:31 AM
What a poor article. This initiative is about improving choices in the palliative care of people whom treatment can no longer help.
Framing palliative care as "the power to wield death" is paranoia. Anthony, quite frankly you appear to know very little about the subject you are writing about, though I appreciate you may mean well.
A good starting place on some of the issues would be Sherland B Nuland's excellent book "How We Die"

UK health care horror: 1,200 die needlessly in filthy, blood-splattered hospital
Imagine if we put the DMV in charge of your health care. Just imagine what the quality of your health care would be like. Our system isn't perfect, but it's the best health care system in the world at present. That won't stop Democrats, though, as they try to re-engineer American health care.
If you're trying to get an idea of what our new health care system will be like, it's easy. Just look to the formerly great Britain, where socialism reigns supreme. An NHS hospital let 1,200 patients die for no reason in the filthy, blood-splattered hospital where patients were routinely neglected and left in disgusting conditions. The best part? Not a single official has been fired.
Not a single official has been disciplined over the worst-ever NHS hospital scandal, it emerged last night.
Up to 1,200 people lost their lives needlessly because Mid-Staffordshire NHS Trust put government targets and cost-cutting ahead of patient care.
But none of the doctors, nurses and managers who failed them has suffered any formal sanction.
Indeed, some have either retired on lucrative pensions or have swiftly found new jobs.
Former chief executive Martin Yeates, who has since left with a £1million pension pot, six months' salary and a reported £400,000 payoff, did not even give evidence to the inquiry which detailed the scale of the scandal yesterday.
… The independent inquiry headed by Robert Francis QC found the safety of sick and dying patients was 'routinely neglected'. Others were subjected to ' inhumane treatment', 'bullying', 'abuse' and 'rudeness'.
… Bosses at the Trust – officially an 'elite' NHS institution – were condemned for their fixation with cutting waiting times to hit Labour targets and leaving neglected patients to die.
But after a probe that was controversially held in secret, not a single individual has been publicly blamed.
The inquiry found that:
• Patients were left unwashed in their own filth for up to a month as nurses ignored their requests to use the toilet or change their sheets;
• Four members of one family. including a new-born baby girl. died within 18 months after of blunders at the hospital;
• Medics discharged patients hastily out of fear they risked being sacked for delaying;
• Wards were left filthy with blood, discarded needles and used dressings while bullying managers made whistleblowers too frightened to come forward.
… The Francis report said staff numbers were allowed to fall 'dangerously low', causing nurses to neglect the most basic care. It said: 'Requests for assistance to use a bedpan or to get to and from the toilet were not responded to.
'Some families were left to take soiled sheets home to wash or to change beds when this should have been undertaken by the hospital and its staff.' Food and drink were left out of reach, forcing patients to drink water from flower vases.
While many staff did their best, Mr Francis said, others showed a disturbing lack of compassion to patients.

The elderly involved in end of life care are not going to be listened to. Nor will the preferences of their immediate families receive a meaningful audience, should the patient be in a classificiation which due to age fits the schema to "let them die and administer comfort care only."
The politicians and the think tanks who answer to the same masters will only speak in glittering generalities. There will be death panels, only the state will not designate them as such. The old farts who have paid into the system through force of law will be the first class of expendibles once they are of a certain age (and not related to a power family).
Others wlll suffer different indignities. Lower cost generic medicines will be the only ones approved on many occasions; despite the fact that not everyone responds as well to generics as branded drugs.
Over time, I can see the possiblity of some individuals losing their potential maximum benefits due to being obese/and or due to a review of their restaurant purchase records. A fat guy repetitively ordering fetuucinne alfredo will not please those tasked with cost saving the system. All it will take is some prominent politician on the mainstream airwaves mentioning how some peoples' neighbors are imposing extraordinary costs on an otherwise good system. Fatty Alfredo will be villified and labeled as unpatriotic at best, and possibly as a terrorist.
Statists can call me paranoid and I will wear it as a badge of honor; for in the final analysis, I (and those who think along similar lines regarding government bureaucracies) will be proven correct.
You folks who expect coverage of pre-existing conditions of the young not to greatly distort the cost models going forward are going to have a rude awakening. One that might actually help re-define your concept of "fairness."
Once upon a time, American health care was a model for the rest of the world.
Gee, what could have happened?

The author (and many commentors) seem to be drawing the conclusion that planning for the eventual demise of someone is actually withdrawing care. This is not the case. In the US, we've heard the hyperbole from Sarah Palin and her 'death panels', and Michelle Bachmann, with her cries of "Grandma's not 'shovel-ready'!"
This is a false paradigm that attempts to conflate end-of-life care with killing off the elderly. It is about planning for an eventuality, about how you or your loved ones will be taken care of in their final days. It is about making a pre-meditated choice, or an 'Advanced Care Directive'. One could always insist that they be kept alive, no matter how badly your bodily systems are failing. They have machines for that - very exspensive machines. Or, you could just decide that after a long and somewhat fruitful life, that you're happy to slip off into the unknown. That should be your decision and IT IS. If you don't currently have and advanced care directive or living will, make one. You may find yourself the victim of who knows what, lying in the hospital with your family fretting about what they should do if the doctors agree that there's nothing more to be done.
The biggest issue that I see here is that people are afraid of dying. I don't necessarily want to die, but at the same time, if I'm in such a state (brain-dead, massive organ failure, etc.) that 'I' am no longer 'me', then end it. And it's not really about me dying, it's about people who can't let go. People die. We will all die. Get used to the idea, because it's one fact of life that will never change. Everyone you know will eventually die. Take the stress out of the event by getting the formalities taken care of up front, so you can devote 'together time' with the one who's leaving. Take responsibility, or have it taken for you.

It should be up to the individual and their family to decide such matters. That is the point. When you start letting government decide who should continue to live or die, it makes it too easy to expand the "useless" catagory and genecide is the end result. Does history not prove this?
We already have end of life directives that YOU choose before you get too bad off. "Do not resusitate" orders can already be set up with your doctor and placed by your bedside. You can also have orders to not be put on life support in writing. And giving a family member medical power of attorney to decide such matters has long been an option. But giving these decision over to the government should NOT be an option. It is inviting disaster!

Very well said, "nithsdale" below.
It does seem that we've manipulated by financial sociopaths to transfer all of our wealth to the medical community, instead of gently leaving the scene and leaving what we can for family members or favorite charity. (I'm just 65.)
Posted by nithsdale on 10/20/12 04:29 PM
This is a fact of life problem.
At 88,I would welcome the opportunity to choose my death. After two years of watching family members cope with comatose elderly loved ones, it is necssary to institute an end to such indignity.
The cost of care for those with us but not conscious is extraordinary, almost 8500 a month. this is a burden on families and later on government, in both cases people are stripped to allow life where there is no life!
Contrary to religious fanatics, we are all born to die and it has nothing to do with any God's or Creator's grace. We are living for a short span of time and it is up to each and every one of us to use that space to make our imprint and then leave with "grace".
I am sick and tired of how most of the seniors I live among who treat medicals as their last form of sociability, running to the doctor and the hospital to relieve their boredom or re-inforce some ridiculous idea they can be young again if they have this or that procedure or "magic bullet"!
Those of tou who are young had best get up in arms re this charade. You have the most to lose as the army of retirees grows ever lkarger in the next two decades.
Past communities had it right. When you no longer could contribute to maintaining your life, it was time to go out to pasture and quietly leave the world.
We must accept fate and indeed, welcome it. The Netherlands has codified it and I think the civilized world must once again accept the fact there is a time to live and a time to die!

Two of my relatives have died recently. I can tell you that this "list" already exists in the form of "hospice care". When someone has been designated as a candidate for hospice care, they are pretty much doomed. By this, I mean, they are written off and the care provided by hospice is nothing more than offering to guide the person into a "peaceful" death, by drugging them! My sister, who died of lung cancer, was offered the option of going on hospice care, two years before she died. She rejected this option, because she knew it was her death sentence. Only then, did her doctor decide to try a new cancer drug. She responded well and lived two more years. So, I don't doubt that Obamacare has factored in how to kill people as soon as possible, who appear to not have a very good chance of surviving their illness. This is shocking! People need to wake up and face the reality that this death list has been in place for a long time and will only get longer, if we refuse to do something about it.
Posted by MetaCynic on 10/20/12 04:09 PM
Death panels are an inevitable part of the general social drift toward looking to others, especially to the government, to take care of us. This is what happens when people turn away from self responsibility and put their lives and well being in the hands of others. These empowered others will ration scarce resources by setting the terms for access to "free" services.
Decades of government central planning and regulation have massively deformed, in ways that we can scarcely imagine, not only capital flows but the everyday quality of our lives - and not for the better. Taxes, credit creation and inflation have left us poorer. Government schools have left us not only ignorant but unable to think. The government food pyramid and Big Agra's subsidized grains and sugars have ruined our health. Big Pharma's drugs keep us sick. The mass media keep us entertained and distracted from our deteriorating situation. Too many people have been conditioned to then turn to the government to pay for approved but ineffective protocols to treat bodies misshapened and sickened by all those eagerly welcomed nanny state interventions.
The growing state power over our lives will not stop with Death Lists compiled by dispassionate medical "experts." Those Death Lists like the government's No Fly List will grow according to secret parameters animated by political considerations. As in every police state, the West's governments will morph into not only a "he who does not obey shall not eat" regimes but into a "he who does not obey shall be denied medical care" ones as well. Single providers of anything will not hesitate to use their monopolies to maintain control over our lives by any way they can.
Posted by tjdetmers on 10/20/12 03:11 PM
Abortion advocates use many of the same lies. In the west, our physical lives have been quantified by money, whether money made from our health or from our sickness. We need to wake up and take ownership of our own lives. Life is a gift from God... .not the government. We need to get back to living that way. The responsibility of life lies with each of us... . "the people".

Citizenship. Self-control. Responsibility. Leadership. Fitness.
For students at New Bedford High and Wareham High participating in the Army Junior ROTC, many of these concepts were foreign before their decision to take part — now they say it's all part of the plan.
"It means getting away from the hectic life of school, and being among family and friends," said one New Bedford High cadet, Christine Rogers. "It's my anchor."
The Army Junior ROTC was established by the National Defense Act of 1916 and since its inception, more than five million students have participated. Currently there are about 2,000 active JROTC programs nationwide, with a mission "to motivate young people to be better citizens."
And while the New Bedford High School JROTC program is the oldest in the country, with roots dating back to 1881 (it began as a semi-private cadet program), the Wareham program was launched in 2004. Both programs are seeing growth, with about 300 students in New Bedford and 71 in Wareham.
Cadets take JROTC courses as a part of their regular schedule, and while it is funded partly by the Army, its focus is not on recruitment — and there is no commitment toward serving in the future. The sergeants in charge say the program readies students for higher education.
Senior Army Instructor Lt. Col. Kevin McGovern has been with the program for 14 years, and by the constant greetings from teens in the hallway, he is clearly respected and liked by New Bedford High students.
"The kids come from an array of personal challenges. We try to be part of the team that helps students," he said. Of the cadets who complete all four years, 98 percent receive their diplomas, he said, although he is careful not to boast.
McGovern said while the JROTC program particularly helps out at fundraising events for the Muscular Dystrophy Association, they also participate in holiday food drives and town events. "When someone needs something done, they turn to us. We'll get things done." He stressed that engagement is key to making the students feel part of the greater community.
The best salespeople for the program, perhaps, are the students themselves. The cadets describe the program as a safe place to be themselves, and said it has helped them emerge from their shells and gain more confidence. JROTC students overwhelmingly say that college is in their plans.
Kwanshae Ribeiro said JROTC is a "second home" where she has gotten to know a "diverse group of people" she may not otherwise have met. "I was a rebel as a freshman," Ribeiro admitted. Through JROTC she "became way more mature," she said.
Senior Arthur Washer also said the program helped steer him away from trouble. "There have been ups and downs. It is not foolproof, but I've had a great time," he said. "My freshman year it got me out of a lot of trouble and straightened me up."
Desiree Oliver said fellow cadets and the sergeants always lend an ear to students needing advice or help. And to the agreement of other cadets, she said JROTC is not place for bullying. "If you mess up, no one will laugh at you," she said.
For now the cadets are especially full of pride; New Bedford High School JROTC was the sole New England program to qualify for its Academic Bowl in the U.S. Capitol area. This past June, they came in eighth place out of 48 finalists.
"I noticed schools from all over, and heard different accents. ... I made new friends, gained new experiences," said Danny Almeida, one of the four students who participated. The capstone of the trip was a "Mall race" where cadets uncovered different clues at the national monuments along the Mall, he said.
Sgt. Jerry Bedard said JROTC is so successful because it teaches students how to lead. They are put in charge of lessons and cadet leaders manage regular evaluations and assessments of their peers, which are a key aspect of the program.
Blake Rogers-Monteiro, who Sgt. Bedard said is the most decorated cadet, described the cycle of leadership.
"When we started on Day 1, we didn't know what to do," he recalled. "But over time we took on greater roles to the point we began instructing and mentoring others in the program so by the time they are in year three or year four, they'll be where we are ... and they can be the bridge."
Blake said he recently tallied his three-year total of community service at 400 hours.
For New Bedford High School Headmaster Andrew Kulak, the JROTC is one of the school's highlights. "It helps them in their academics and in their classes, and that is key," he said.
In Wareham, the vibe of camaraderie is also strong. At the back of the school, a ramp leads to a special designated JROTC area: detached classrooms in trailers. Sgt. Sherri Hudson said that students often come there first thing in the morning.
"It's their home base," she said. Like the New Bedford cadets, Wareham students described the program like a second family.
"I joined to make my dad happy, but I stayed because I like the program," said Jeffrey Barrett, who said JROTC has taught him "almost everything about the military" and how to "become a better person."
Alex Porter said accountability is stressed — even being late to class leads to the consequence of 15 push-ups. "In other classes, kids keep talking and talking, but no one tries anything in this class. When the sergeant talks, no one else does," he said.
"It also helps with stress issues. I've learned coping skills and how to try to relax yourself. Meditation is oddly one I've tried and it works," Porter added.
Coming from a family with many relatives in the military, JROTC was a natural choice for Rickie Jackson. His sister is in the program as well.
"It's really fun ... I've met amazing people and have loved it ever since," he said. "We are a big family and we treat each other as we want to be treated."

Feng Shui Tips On Fame
It is said that everybody has his or her 15 minutes of fame. For some, fame stares them in the face every minute of the day. Celebrities, politicians, socialites, and rich tycoons - they are always in the limelight. Reputation and fame is of great importance to them, as they represent the image of their company or their industry. Sometimes severe damage can be caused to reputations by scandals, lawsuits, convictions and gossip. Here is how you can avoid having your reputation tarnished, by using Feng Shui.
1. Find out your Kua number and your best directions. Sleep with your head pointed at your sheng chi direction.
2. If your career depends a lot on good reputation and fame, renovate your house so that the main door faces your sheng chi direction. If the main door of your house opens to large and imposing building on the opposite street or the edge of a large building, by all means move out, or at least hang a Pa Kua mirror above your front door (outside only) to soften the effect of the shar qi.
3. According to the 8 Life Aspirations, the South section governs Fame and Recognition. The element of South is fire and the colour is red. If possible, paint this section of your house a lovely shade of bright red, or hang some red drapes there.
4. Wood produces Fire, so you can energize the fire element with the wood element. Place some wooden furniture in the South section of your home or office. You can also keep a candle burning there and hang a painting with red colour. Do not place any water feature in this section (such as an aquarium) as it will drown the natural fire element.

Early in March I posted about hearing the founder of Drupal, Dries Buytaert, speak in Boston as part of an adjunct to the AiiM Show called DrupalCon. Part of that Drupal event was the first public explanation of the strategy behind Dries' new venture called Acquia. Acquia is a commercial company to service and support Drupal as the popular open source social publishing platform tries to move to the next level in the market.
Later today at OSBC, I'll be joining a panel discussion of the results of the 2008 Future of Open Source survey led by by Michael Skok, general partner at North Bridge Venture Partners and CEOs of Ingres, MySQL, and SugarCRM.
At DrupalCon Boston, Acquia sponsored a launch party at the Felt club in Boston. Jeff Robbins from Lullabot performed live with its former rock band Orbit, and Acquia's Jay Batson took the crowd deep into the night with progressive house and trance music. Great parteeh!
We recently completed our press and analyst tour introducing Acquia to the world.
It was really fun to introduce these key influencers to Drupal and to Acquia. Reaction was very positive. Coverage is linked here.

Today was a great day for Drupal.
We kicked off our largest Drupal conference ever – more than 800 Drupal enthusiasts from all over of the world are getting together in Boston for one week to brainstorm, to share and to work on Drupal. DrupalCon Boston sold out six days in advance. It is twice the size of DrupalCon Barcelona, held just 6 months ago. It has been a blast so far.
John Willis recently published a post that equates social publishing with social networking. While the post is pretty good, and I agree with most of the points, I need to correct the bit about the definition of social publishing. It's way more than social networking. Let me explain.
Social publishing is a blend of three categories: 1) web content management 2) social software (blogs, wikis, social networking platforms, forums, etc.) 3) web app frameworks
I just noticed that pro blogger and technologist Anne Zelenka is checking out Drupal and Acquia.
Gartner, one of the leading technology industry analyst firms, published their list of the Top 10 Strategic Technologies for 2008 back in October 2007 at their Gartner Symposium/ITXpo event. I was at the event, but somehow missed the press release. Karthikeyan over at Seeking Alpha just posted a summary that brought it to my attention.
Sandro Groganz has an interesting post where he attempts to calculate the value of the MySQL brand as a component of the acquisition price Sun paid. Here's the punch line: "As of today, a whopping 85% of MySQL's economic value added can be attributed to its strong Open Source brand." I haven't checked Sandro's math in detail, but it's clear that brand is a huge component of the value of MySQL."
I was interviewed by John Conroy of CMSWire. It turned out slightly more technical and visionary than previous interviews.

It always gets me a bit - naming your website after your own name or common handle. In this case though, it sort of makes sense.
Since the welcome page is apt to change over time, I will go over my goals for this site here.
First and foremost, I want to put my technical articles here - about securing Windows, optimizing Debian, hacking Simple Machines Forum, whatever. In addition to being an adult forum, Elliquiy is rather large, and placing it there only makes it all the more intimidating if people ever come to Elliquiy for that sort of thing.

News 10 Q's with: Jalen Rose
In SportsPickle's "10 (or so) Questions With" series, DJ Gallo interviews people in the sports world doing interesting things.
Today's interview subject: Jalen Rose Fab Five star, 13-year NBA veteran, NBA analyst for ESPN.
And, yes, these are real interviews.
SportsPickle:Your draft day suit still perhaps the best ever in a very competitive category. Where is the suit these days? Hung with care in your closet like a wedding dress? Do you ever wear it around the house for fun? Rent it out for draft night parties?
Jalen Rose:The infamous draft day suit is most definitely in an ugly frame in my house – I haven't decided exactly what I want to do with it yet, but I know it has to be hanging somewhere since it indirectly bought the house!
SP:Jordan gets all the credit, but the Fab Five really brought in the age of the baggy shorts. Was this a conscious fashion choice? Or because someone's package didn't measure up enough for short shorts? Whose was it? Ray Jackson?
Rose:Funny. MJ is arguably the greatest player of all time and although he is very fashion conscious, he wasn't the trend setter this time – all of us were college kids who were forced to wear soft-porn daisy dukes in high school. When we got to the big stage at UM, it was time to change the game so we requested long shorts, black shoes and black socks because we were rebels with a cause and ready to prove it.
SP:Thanks to you guys, I adopted the baggy shorts style when I played. In 7thgrade basketball, the crotch of my shorts averaged 3.5 turnovers a game because I often tried to dribble between my legs and got stuffed by the low hem. What was I doing wrong?
Rose:Either you're not that tall or you can't handle the ball very well.
SP: I'll blame it on the former. Even though it's the latter.
SP:It's the question all fans of the Fab Five want the answer to: Do you think you'll ever reunite and go on tour? The Police made a ton of money on their tour last summer.
Rose:Don't be surprised if there's a Fab Five movie and book someday with all of us – they will only be legit if they include all of us.
SP: I'll only buy it if there's an entire chapter dedicated to the great Rob Pelinka.
SP:You did a great job as a defensive stopper against Michael Jordan during the '98 Eastern Conference Finals. But why didn't you try to stop his Hall of Fame speech this summer? That thing was unbearable.
Rose:It sounded like MJ had a lot on his chest (laughing) … he spoke a lot about motivation and inspiration but at the end of the day, that's MJ and he can say whatever he wants.
SP:In 2006, the Knicks acquired you from the Raptors in exchange for cap space. You shot 46-percent from the floor in New York and averaged 12.7 points. Cap space did dick. You feel vindicated, no?
Rose:I'm just happy that every situation I've ever been in, whether or a great team or bad team, I went out and played well.
SP: Cap space, you have been served.
SP:You have given significant sums of money to fund inner city reading centers, you also donated $100,000 to Dikembe Mutombo for the construction of an operating room at a hospital in the Congo. Very generous. But did you mean to give that much, or could you not understand what Mutombo was saying, and only later discovered you had agreed to six figures?
Rose:Mutombo tricked me (laughing) nah, I knew exactly what I was doing and was very honored to be able to make a donation from my own foundation for such a great cause. Thanks for the props and I hope that I can inspire others to give as well.
SP:Now a few quick questions on the new NBA season
SP:Most surprising offseason acquisition: Allen Iverson to the Grizzlies? Or Khloe Kardashian to Lamar Odom?
Rose:BOTH. AI deserves an opportunity to play for a contender and although quick, Odom and Kardashian deserve to be happy. Stay tuned on both.
SP:Who's better – Kobe or Lebron? Redick or Morrison?
Rose:Lebron may be better the first 46 minutes of a game but Kobe is better the last two minutes. (See: four titles.)Redick has proven to be a better pro than Morrison so far.
SP:Where do you think Lebron James will be at this time next year? (Note: I mean what team do you think he'll be playing for, so "Sitting in a diamond-encrusted house" is not an acceptable answer.)
Rose:A diamond-encrusted house NEXT year? I'm sure he's already sitting in that! I'd be very surprised if Lebron left Cleveland and the Cavaliers.
SP:Due to his positive test, do you think all of Rashard Lewis' dunks should be asterisked?
Rose:Judging from his body type, I'm not sure he was taking steroids. But if they didn't do it to Barry Bonds, they shouldn't do it to Rashard.
SP:Best NBA mascot: Benny The Bull, Phoenix Suns Gorilla, Brian Scalabrine?
Rose:Since I played in both cities, I have love for Benny and the Gorilla. But Brian actually gets to sit on the bench.
SP: Awesome.
SP:Considering the fact that you had some issues with Isiah Thomas in the past, Thomas now coaching at Florida International … hilarious? Or extremely hilarious?
Rose:I have a lot of respect for Isiah and although we may have had issues professionally, ultimately he was one of my mentors and role models growing up and still is. Let's see how the FIU team fares this season and revisit.
SP:If ______ ever dunked on you, you would pull a Lebron and confiscate the tape.
Rose:Barack Obama.
News Midnight Madness recaps
Friday night was Midnight Madness across the country, celebrating the first moment NCAA basketball teams could hold an official practice. Here is how some of the top programs celebrated.
Kentucky Fans were wowed by a dunk contest, three-point competition and head coach John Calipari setting a world record for NCAA violations in 10 minutes.
Duke Players participated in a charge-taking competition.

Kansas Jayhawks basketball players competed with Jayhawks football players in boxing.
UConn Head coach Jim Calhoun interacted with fans by asking them to help him come up with new ways to cuss out and belittle his players. The first fan to make a freshman cry was awarded season tickets.
Villanova Head coach Jay Wright pumped up the crowd by sharing his Top 10 style tips.
Illinois Michael Jordan, father of guard Jeffrey Jordan, spoke for an hour about how awesome he is. Then head coach Bruce Weber had his players compete shirts-and-skins for loose balls while the homoerotic images of famed photographer Bruce Weber flashed on the Jumbotron above.

Gonzaga Former star Adam Morrison was welcomed back and current players took turns dunking on him.
West Virginia Once festivities began at midnight, head coach Bob Huggins quickly led everyone back out of the gym and into downtown Morgantown for a pub crawl until 2:00 a.m.
Penn State Fans were treated to Penn State players recreating famous plays in Penn State football history.

News John Wooden Spends 99th Birthday at His Favorite Strip Club
Basketball coaching legend John Wooden may have turned 99 today, but that didn't stop him from celebrating the way a virile man half his age or even one-fifth his age might celebrate: by hitting up his favorite strip club.
"Woooo! Making it rain!" Wooden cried out as he tossed two dollar bills and 50-cent pieces on a stripper giving him a lap dance as Jay-Z's "99 Problems" blasted in the background. "There's a pyramid of success up in my pants!"
Wooden spent the afternoon at Leggs Bar in Burbank, Calif., a strip club he calls his favorite of the hundreds in and around Los Angeles.
"When you're alive for almost a century, you get to a lot of strip clubs," said Wooden. "And this one is the best. A, it's all nude. B, they let you touch. C, they have a great buffet. And D, they have free caramels. I love caramels."
The staff at Leggs were, of course, honored to have the legend choose their establishment on his special day.
"John Wooden! Wow!" said dancer Kandi Diamond (real name Deb Kinsmeister). "I think I was in a porno a few years ago with a John Wood. Is this the same guy? The scene called for me to get it from behind, so I never saw the guy's face. He looks pretty bad. Is he sick? He didn't give me AIDS, did he?"
Dancer Delicious Smith, a young Russian girl born Katarina Malachev, said she is not familiar with Wooden, but found him to be nice.
"He didn't hit me," said Smith. "He the nicest man I ever meet."
Wooden said he had a great time at Leggs and hopes to be back next year to celebrate his 100th birthday. And as for those who might criticize the legend for frequenting strip clubs, Wooden says they are misguided.
"I will not apologize for appreciating the beautiful creation that is the female body," he said. "And how does no one realize that my so-called 'pyramid of success' is actually shaped like a breast?"
News Cash-Strapped Universities Killing Mascots to Sell Meat, Pelts
As state and university budgets continue to shrink due to the worldwide recession, many schools around the country have begun looking for ways to generate revenue from within. And one of the most lucrative sources of cash is being found within the athletic department.
"We slaughtered Bevo and sold his meat for $2,119," said Texas head football coach Mack Brown. "That's cash-in-hand for our athletic department. That's enough to keep our women's diving team going for three years, with some money left over to fund field hockey, too."
In addition to Bevo's meat, Texas sold his hide to a tannery for $475 and auctioned off his head to a football booster for an undisclosed sum.
"When the decision was made that Bevo was going to be slaughtered, I knew I had to get his head," said Tommie Davis, an oilman who graduated from Texas in 1967. His final bid bested one put together by a group of Oklahoma fans. "I've got it mounted atop my the fireplace in my great room now. I couldn't be prouder."
Other schools have followed Texas' lead, such as Baylor killing their live bear mascot, Judge, and LSU doing the same to Mike The Tiger. LSU raised additional funds by selling $100 tickets for a Mike The Tiger hunt.
"I understand how this can be a little emotional for some fans. But if and when the economy turns around, we'll just buy another Tiger," said LSU head football coach Les Miles. "They've got, literally, dozens of them in Africa. It's not that big of a deal. It's too bad our current one had to die. But I know I'll never forget the rush that I got when I shot him behind the ears. There's a lot of blood in a tiger!"
Still more schools plan to follow suit with their mascots, although a few are feeling resistance.
"We would have sold off parts of Uga months ago," says Damon Evans, Georgia's director of athletics. "But we don't have the same luxury many of these schools do. Kill a steer, kill a bear, kill a tiger fine. But try to kill a dog and sell it's meat and hide and people freak out. Well, that's fine, but then we're going to lose our women's cross country team. Is that what they want?"
Then there are schools like Penn State who are facing resistance of another kind.
"I don't want to die," says Steve Smenko, a junior sociology major who plays the Nittany Lion. "But the board of trustees is voting tonight and then I'll find out my fate. I wish I would have listened to my parents and never become the mascot."
News Bruce Pearl's rejected jokes
Tennessee head men's basketball coach Bruce Pearl has some egg on his stupid face after telling an unfortunate joke about his home state at a charity event last week.
Said Pearl: "I've got a tough job. I've got to put these guys from different worlds together, right? I've got guys from Chicago, Detroit I'm talking about the 'hood! And I've got guys from Grainger County, where they wear the hood.''
Wait? That's it? We're not allowed to say anymore that rural parts of Tennessee can be a bit racist-y? Okay. Whatever.
But that line wasn't even the worst one Pearl had originally considered using in his speech.
Take a look at these:
"You know, Tennessee is a beautiful state. Before I moved here I didn't know you had so many mountains. Now it's my goal to mount Pat Summitt." Bruce Pearl
"No, I'm kidding. I really want to fk Lane Kiffin's wife. That's not a joke. I'd like to check under that hood, if you know what I mean." Bruce Pearl
"Does Lane Kiffin seem retarded to anyone else? Ah, why am I asking you people? You're all inbred retards. That's even worse. Your retard minds probably think Lane Kiffin is a genius." Bruce Pearl
"Have you weirdos ever actually read the lyrics to Rocky Top? 'Once there was a girl onrockytop /Half bear the other half cat /Wild as a mink, sweet as soda pop /I still dream about that.' What the fk does that mean? You people sleep with wildcats and sheep?" Bruce Pearl
"I love speaking at charity events. I've got a semi right now. What? This is a children's charity? Too late. I'm fully engorged." Bruce Pearl
"Did you know that Pat Summitt's given name was Pat Head? Really. Sometimes jokes just write themselves." Bruce Pearl
News Short play: "A Rick Pitino Press Conference"
In Rick Pitino's first press conference following the news about his restaurant tryst, he invoked 9/11. In his latest press conference, he tried to shame the media for focusing on his story "on the day Ted Kennedy died" and said the media coverage of his dalliance and subsequent "health insurance" payment has made life "pure hell" for his wife.
A new SportsPickle play examines what Pitino's press conferences might look like this season.
News John Calipari Promises Kentucky A Vacated NCAA Title Within 5 Years
Kentucky head basketball coach John Calipari promised Wildcats fans today that he would bring the program a national title that will quickly be stripped by the NCAA within the next five years.
"I know taking a program to the top and then destroying in such a short time is a bold goal," said Calipari. "But I am confident I can do it. I feel my whole career has been preparing me for this goal."
Calipari has almost done it before. He took UMass to a Final Four in 1996, although that appearance was later vacated due to payments made by an agent to star center Marcus Camby. In 2008 he took Memphis to a Final Four, the championship game and to within seconds of a national title. But that season's accomplishments were completely wiped from the record books due to the Tigers using an ineligible player: star point guard Derrick Rose, whose SAT exam was taken by someone else.
Calipari says the Memphis lost hurt the most.
"I knew we were going to have that whole season vacated eventually because we cheated our asses off," he said. "But we would have had something to show for it had we won the title. Losing in the last seconds meant we had nothing. They can take a win wins, but they can never take away the pride you feel in your heart over fraudulent success."
With that bitter taste in his mouth and a new $31.65 million contract lining his pockets Calipari is more determined than ever to cheat his way to a title.
"I will cut every corner, not dot any I's, not cross any T's," he said. "I was brought here to win a title and I will do anything to make it happen and fast. The NCAA is a completely toothless organization, but even they might kick me out at some point. So I have to get moving."
Kentucky athletic director Mitch Barnhart is excited about Calipari's vow and determination.
"A vacated NCAA title wow, that would be awesome!" he said. "It's hard enough to win an NCAA title as is, winning one on the up-and-up is almost impossible. That's why we brought Coach Cal in. We think he has the right mix of basketball smarts and total lack of ethics to bring us the trophy. So what that the NCAA will take it back soon after? We'll make replicas."
Calipari says his first step is improving the talent at Kentucky.
"Lebron James is a free agent after this season and he has all of his college eligibility left," said Calipari. "I think I can get him here. I think he'll be interested to learn that, unlike in the NBA, my players aren't subjected to a salary cap."
News Picture this: Osama bin Laden butt naked banging on the restaurant floor
So who is really to blame for Rick Pitino's "indiscretion"? Rick Pitino knows: it's those no-good terrorists with their 9/11.
Here is Pitino's quote at his apology press conference: "When 9/11 hit, you needed a community to get you over it. In New York City, it was easy because everybody knew the devastation of that and they got each other over it. In Louisville, the impact wasn't felt like New York City, but I needed this community to help me get over it."
Umm. Okay. Invoking 9/11 after cheating on your wife. Classy.
So, maybe Pitino isn't exactly blaming 9/11 for banging a mom on a restaurant floor (while his assistant slept on the floor nearby), impregnating the woman and then later paying for her abortion. But he is at least saying that this current personal crisis has impacted him almost as much as the Twin Towers falling.
And you wondered what women saw in Rick Pitino. His dong is as big as a skyscraper.

Budget proposals published by the US Department of Defense (DoD) on 13 February were pivotal in three ways. They came as America disengaged from two long-running wars; as it sought to shift the strategic balance of its forces away from Europe and towards the Asia-Pacific; and as the Pentagon sought to enact significant spending cuts mandated by Congress. Since the themes had been indicated in previous announcements, the main interest was in the detail of the many cuts proposed for the military and its equipment programmes. However, the budget's publication was the beginning rather than the end of the process: it shifted battles about specific reductions beyond the Pentagon hierarchy and into the political arena.
The discovery of natural gas has complicated rivalries in the eastern Mediterranean, an area already full of long-standing security issues.

Some of us live. Some of us possess style. And some of us strive for "Lifestyles". Essentially, a product of the post-capitalistic consumerist society, this whole concept of a "Lifestyle" driven life is almost alien to India. What is it? It is an affluent's striving for (largely) a self-centred, nuclear existence with the best material comforts the world has on offer. It presupposes certain givens - you don't need too many relatives for your emotional or physical well-being, your intellectual prowess alone will pull you through, you deserve the best (cool!), life is all about "today", you have provided for your parents and seniors, and that you have to adopt everything that's mandated by popular media (cars, soaps, fairness creams, holidays, branded goggles) if life is to be felt to have been lived.
So it comes as a HUGE CONTRAST when you hear about someone who breaks the mould. Someone who says a big no to everything that modern life mandates. Someone who is so different that you can only wonder at his audacity. Like those Western kids who are trying to propagate the seemingly crazy idea of a cashless society (where services are the only exchangeables), this gentleman - by the sheer dint of his consistent iconoclasm - is a true example of contrarian success. He breezes through a Mumbai month with not more than Five Hundred rupees!

Now some regular stuff- We celebrated the Teachers' Day with gaiety across the PT network on 5th of September. What always strikes me the most about these celebrations is
- there is tremendous respect students in India possess naturally for teachers
- if channelised properly, this sentiment can work wonders
- most teachers are extremely sensible, and alive to their task
- it is touching to see old students remember you after many years!
- the talent of young students is boundless, and just needs some right nudge & push
- event management must be learnt by doing it
- before any event is conducted, a printed "Process Chart" must be prepared
- traditions must be integrated into the "Process Charts" - so if there is the national anthem and the Honour Code that is to be recited at the end of any event, it must be made a part of the Process Chart itself
- nothing brings the Teaching Fraternity together like a sentiment-driven event on Teachers' Day - I felt that with hundreds of my colleagues yesterday

This club was founded in 1932, and especially intended for people who
couldn't afford the membership of the Zaanlandsche
Zeilvereeniging. The ZO was based on the popular design of the BM-er
(Bergumermeer - sailing yachts), designed by the Frisian Hendrik Bulthuis,
which put yachting within the reach of not so well-to-do. De Onderlinge
means: the mutuality.
They sail in the Alkmaarder/Uitgeester Meer area.

Egypt loses last vestiges of connectivity
Country braced for massive protests
Regcast training : Hyper-V 3.0, VM high availability and disaster recovery
Thousands of Egyptians ignored the government curfew and camped out overnight ahead of today's "million-man march" protests.
The government meanwhile has tightened its grip on communications - Noor Group, which provided connectivity for the Cairo stock exchange, five star hotels and other businesses has had its internet access cut off.
Noor Group escaped last week's shutdown of most internet access and mobile phone coverage.
The Renesys blog has the details of the final switch-off.
The government switched off services in the wake of several days of angry protests against Hosni Mubarak's government. The government has also arrested several al-Jazeera reporters - the broadcaster has clearly irritated some with its coverage.
Demonstrators' resolve was strengthened by a statement from the Egyptian army, which pledged not to use violence against protestors and guaranteed freedom of expression for everyone.
The Army called on people not to vandalise public or private property but said: "The Armed Forces is aware of the legitimate demands of the honourable citizens."
The government has not limited itself to shutting down virtual communications - the railways were closed until further notice on Monday. Coach services and road access have all been closed or access restricted to try and stop demonstrators getting to Cairo.
Egyptian papers described a festival, family atmosphere among the varied protestors in the capital's main squares.
Mubarak's cabinet reshuffle seems unlikely to satisfy protestors' desire for real change.
The full army statement is here. ®
Good Luck to them
I heard it was because of a pyramid selling scam.
Good luck to the people.
BBC world service
Foreign language broadcasting is due to be cut in favour of online content. I do hope that at least one of the suits behind that decision has seen at least one of the Egyptian lockdown stories and has the guts to put two and two together.
Although I doubt it.
Can we have the Rice Krispies advert tune for our new national anthem please?
Snap Crackle Pop. Crazy crazy world. Crazy crazy world we live in

nope, I believe it is because banks didn't want people to withdraw their savings from their accounts.
