Skip to comments.Is Obama overplaying sequester hand?
Posted on 02/22/2013 2:56:54 AM PST by SoFloFreeper
...Obamas greatest adversary in the latest budget battle isnt the Republican leadership in Congress its his confidence in his own ability to force a win.
He has been so certain of his campaign skills that he didnt open a line of communication with House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell until Thursday, a week before the spending ax hits. And when they did finally hear from Obama, the calls were perfunctory, with no request to step up negotiations or invitations to the White House.
...In the last two days alone, hes courted local TV anchors, called in a select group of White House correspondents to talk off-the-record, chatted up black broadcasters, and announced plans to stump next week at Virginias Newport News Shipyard. Throughout, hes talked in tough terms that signal little interest in compromise or suggestion of backing down.
Hes navigating a thin line. Obama is convinced hes got the upper hand on Republicans. Yet he can go only so long before he risks being perceived as a main actor in Washingtons dysfunction, threatening a core element of his political brand and the fragile economic recovery hes struggled to maintain.
(Excerpt) Read more at politico.com ...
the fragile economic recovery hes struggled to maintain.
There is no recovery, fragile or otherwise...AND he has NOT struggled to maintain ANYTHING except further demise.
I s'pose we should consider it good that at least they've realized he isn't a leader...
Of course, if BUSH were treating Demon-Rat "leaders" the same way, the headlines would be much different.
obama has a sequestered hand?
Did reggie hurt him?
Oh that they could stretch the other 3.4 trillion $ to such efficiency, it would fund the government for a hundred years!
Did I mention 600,000 out of uniform too?
Earth to Obama, take the 3.4 trillion and make do.
Obama will come out the winner here.
The GOP will come out the loser.
Obama knows what he's doing and the GOP does not. Obama isn't stupid — he wants to weaken Defense, and he has found a way to do that and blame us. He has every reason to feel very confident here.
Politico has been singing Obama's praises relentlessly under the guise of pretending to be critical. Last week they had another ridiculous article with a sinister headline of something like, "Obama, the puppet master". The article went on to say that the media isn't biased, it is Obama who is a master at working the media, understands technology, unprecedented use of social media, etc. YUK!!
I think it's the dope ~ they were used to having it pretty heavily cut before it got to them and now they're dealing powder out of brand new tightly wrapped bricks.
*- My theory is, the GOP in Washington, D.C. actually LOVE Obama and agree with everything he says and does. However, to get re-elected in their "backward, redneck districts" they have to pretend they disagree with his policies around election time.
The truth to tell, "O" couldn't DEFINE 'economy' if his worthless life depended on it!
"O" knows diddly about 'economy' and can't wrap his skull around ANYTHING about wealth, effort, struggle, sacrifice, etc. ... or anything at all associated with how individuals and organizations succeed, prosper and grow!!
Someone needs to remind the rest of America that this sequestered bullcrap was actually obama's idea.
How better to remind every one that the O in GOP stand for OLD, in age and thought processes.
A real third party is needed, BEFORE the colapse of a great nation.
Actually, the only way to get cuts in spending is to implement the sequester and follow it up on March 2 with legislation directing specifically what will be cut. If necessary, there can be a supplemental defense appropriation specifically for the most damaging aspects of the Obama tirade shutting things down.
The House can tie him in knots retroactively
This whole thing is a ruse to provide cover for the coming collapse caused by Obamacare and his energy policies. He will predict that all the bad things that will happen will be caused by the sequester and its the republicans' fault.
No matter what happens with the sequester, some deal will get done, but Obama will then blames the republicans because they didn't do things his way. He capitulated with them and therefore, the economic chaos that will inevitably come in late 2013 (as companies cut workers hours to under 30 and layoff workers to get under 50 and cancel health insurance benefits) and into 2014 will be blamed on the republicans throughout 2014 for the mid-term elections. If Obama gets control of the House and holds the senate, Katy bar the door.
Isn't Obama's popular (75% approval) solution to permanently raise taxes on the rich again to pay for another 3 month delay in the spending cuts?
And he campaigns that this is the only 'serious' idea proposed?
It seems like the above could be shown to be phony by a competition opposition party.
But (most in) the GOP we got just repeats the same losing argument as they used last year :"If a rich guy pays any-more taxes we all die"
Werent Republicans going to demand a budget?
The Dem/Obamanations are driven-—as all tyrants are-—by their obsessive need to exert absolute control.
They need to get back the House majority-—so they can run rampant over the citizenry.
The Dem/Obamanations eat, sleep and drink "mid-terms."
Every move Ohaha makes has one end in mind-—t-o-t-a-l c-o-n-t-r-o-l.
You may be right, I have often wondered WHO hates the GOP more: Obama or the average "outraged" poster on Free Republic. With both sides hating Republicans instead of encouraging them, Obama is GUARANTEED to win.
These are the CONSERVATIVE House Districts, whose Washington elite Representatives are concerned they might lose power to a Tea Party or actual conservative candidate. They have to maintain the facade of opposition to Big Government.
Of course they do, they have documents, they have video and audio recordings of his own words daring them to change it.
What they don't have is:
...a clue.
You may be right, I have often wondered WHO hates the GOP more: Obama or the average "outraged" poster on Free Republic. With both sides hating Republicans instead of encouraging them, Obama is GUARANTEED to win.
Right, there are already over 50 "third parties".
You get that done and get back to us.
Apparently not.
He came up with the idea, got Congress to approve it in the last session.
Now that may actually happen, he is blaming it on the GOP's in Congress -- and he is getting away with it.
The GOP don't seem to have a counter, don't seem to have a message, don't seem to have a leg to stand on, as they are getting blamed and taking the fall.
You are absolutely correct. A few minutes ago, I said the following on another thread: Every Republican lawmaker, in every public statement, interview, etc., needs to start referring to this not simply as Sequester, but as The Obama Sequester. Obama acts as though he is simply a spectator in all of this, standing on the sidelines, with no ability to do anything about the situation. Thanks to his friends in the media, hes getting away with it, with the public thinking its entirely the fault of the mean, evil Republicans. Obama is the President of the United States, the most powerful figure in our government - not some helpless spectator. The Republicans need to get the message out that the buck stops with Obama, not with them. Its the Obama Sequester.
Good point! Thank you for the correction.
I should have said a REAL Third Party in which dominates the spectrum of 80% of Americans. I am a beleiver that 10% on either side is fringe and get all the attention while the remaining 80% consists of real, hard-working people, who are without real representation.
But let us not be too harsh on the GOP, especially since so far they ARE holding the line. How many news outlets are reporting this truth:
The Republicans have TWICE PASSED TARGETED CUTS to avoid these "meat cleaver" actions. The Democrat MORONS in the Senate have refused to VOTE on these measures.
The Senate and the ass in the Oval Office are to blame for the gridlock. Republicans HAVE taken action.
Barky will be declared the winner by the media, but will come out the net loser IF ( I can't believe I am saying this ) the republicans stay firm on the sequester.
Republicans can't go much lower in public approval. They may even earn some grudging respect if they stand firm.
Barky may get a pyrrhic victory, but his voters will be crestfallen at the widening cracks in his seemingly state of omnipotence.
YES YES YES you are absolutely right, but even some female correspondent on Fox News - J.B somebody - acknowledged that the republicans have twice passed targeted cuts BUT rather than holding Barky to blame, she wants the pubs to JUST TRY one more time.
You can NEVER EVER win with these people.
Don't think so. 40% of the sequester is non-defense...we never hear about that because the Dem/MSM axis tries to pump the defense angle to pressure the GOP into backing down.
Now, everyone knows defense is making most of the sacrifice (and some think all because of the headlines). Hereafter, the GOP can now make a case for something else to be cut in future aka entitlements.
I won't hold my breath.
Whether Obama's demogoguery can defeat the argument remains to be seen, but in general that is a logical argument for the right going forward.
The community organizer has bull sh%t his way into the presidency and now he thinks he can do the same with the sequester issue.
He is a "campainer" not a problem solver. Hopefully, he has reached his brick wall with this one and gets what he deserves. Unfortunately with all the lies he is spreading minute to minute, once again his camaigner style will get his message to those who think he is God himself.
As impy pointed out he wont get the house back anytime soon. But he would like to pick up more seats in the Senate in 2014 by forcing GOP Senators to vote against popular (from polling) stuff like 'background checks' and 'closing wealthy loopholes to save the troops and the teachers'. "Gabby deserves a vote"
Too bad we dont have a side who actually wants to beat Dems in elections anymore.
Obama's long string of victories the past two years (since the GOP took the House) and his ability to get public opinion behind him on every fight that he had decided to take a stand on, has blown his already huge ego up even bigger like the size of a major city.
It is nice to see some in the MSM tiring of the 'Obama run around and campaign and blame the GOP for everything again until they cave' game repeated again and again.
rin-o-ps are soon to be shown as fully complicit in this kabuki...
on #2: That is part of why they are getting blamed, on q1 : the 2014 campaign I assume.
In 2011 Boner said "I got 98% of what I wanted in this deal" (in sequester bill)
Now he says "The whole thing was the President's idea"
I guess the sequester was that 2%.
So when do they cave again?
The Obamanations KNOW they can't win the House-—but they're probably raising millions w/ lies——saying that they CAN.
as Rove did last year....Rove humiliated himself election night when he had a fit over FNC calling OH for O, on camera.
Yet they fired Dick Morris (who was equally wrong as Rove) and kept Rove.
I think Rove does a better job of sounding serious and sounding analytical on TV than Dick Morris does.
Morris sounds like used car salesman on TV really sleazy.
They need to forget about the "media" and make massive ad buys on all local cable stations whenever messaging needs to occur.
While they're at it, they should explain to the public why they have to do it this way, and completely discredit the network "news" organizations and newspapers.
Fox's first wave included axing Morris AND Rove-—but I guess Kystal and the pukeneos were miffed-—so they pulled strings to get Rove back.
Has also been reported that his agitated donors were asking what Rove did w/ the $300 million he raised.

Topic: Database Design
First off, I'm new to Rails so please forgive me for any silly questions
I'm rebuilding a store website I made a few years ago and I would like to do it in Rails but I'm a bit confused about the database model and don't want to get too far into if without knowing.
The current site was built in PHP/MYSQL and the database design is good enough to keep, although I will make a few changes to make the site multi language this time around.
Most of the answers to database design for rails questions I've found have suggested using migrations and building up as you go but I think its best to have a solid DB to start from and use the migrations as needed for minor changes.
My questions are:
Can I use this kind of relational database model with rails? All of the example sites I've ran through so far have had very basic database relationships.
I'm used to using database views to pull the tables together and keeping as much of the DB work as possible in the DB, is it possible to pull in a view instead of a table in rails?
And also, because I'm going multi language, I'm planning on doing the product translations in the DB and only using YAML files for things like links and headers. I'm going to have one product table with the language neutral fields and one table with the various language specific fields. Does Rails I18n support this way of doing things?
Thanks for any help you can give.

The 1998-D Washington Quarter is really common in all circulated grades. It is also common in Uncirculated grades from MS60 - MS65. Examples in MS66 are a little tougher to find but still available in large quantities. In MS67 condition they become much scarcer, with several hundred examples probably still in existence. In MS68 they are truly scarce with a few dozen known. No examples are known in MS69 condition or higher.

A Fun Game To Play And Learn With
By Dragonfly Sweetnest
from South Webster, OH
About Me Educator, Parent, Thrifty
This game is great for helping teach your little ones about shapes and colors. I love that the game is so brightly colored, it is really appealing to little ones eyes. You are able to play this game in two different ways which is really nice. My kids both loved the game. Even though my little girl at age seven already knows everything to do with colors and shapes, she still had fun playing with her little brother. Conner however, this was a great way to brush up on colors and shapes. Since, Conner doesn't really do anything where he has to line the shapes up to get them to fit into places, this allowed him to practice on this. This is such a cute and fun family game to play together.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Loved Every Second - let me in next year!In full: It was my third London marathon. There seemed to be more support than the two previous times I had run. In my two previous Londons I had my two worst times (out on 10) but got a PB this time. I put this down to better organisation in terms of start zones. I was at the correct pace around mile 2.For organisation and atmosphere you are never going to beat it.Date of review: April 27, 2010
In short: Good Marathon Warm UpIn full: Apart from the final half mile which looped around a housing estate thorough alley ways it is a very pleasant course with moderate hills. Perfect pre marathon test. The marshall's were excellent (there were loads)and the free to is one of the best.Date of review: March 29, 2010
In short: Good Summer Half. Not to hard a course, not to easy.In full: The course had lots of marshalls and lots of water stations - which were needed on a hot day. There was a fair amount of support all the way round and all goos support came from the hundreds of walker that you overtake during the race.Date of review: June 15, 2009
In short: New Course was a winner!In full: The new course was around 5.25 miles so PB was certain.Glad of the dry weather over the last few days as it was muddy in places.The course is tough but worth the effort for some stunning chiltern countryside.Date of review: September 21, 2008
In short: Well Organised Village RaceIn full: The number of marshalls and police was amazing for such as small race. Surprised to get a banana, jelly babies, a good quality medal and water at the end.The course is quite hilly and the final hill was a blower but new runners should not be put off. My friend did this as his first every race and he thought it was OK for beginners.Good to see results in 5 year categorys from 20 years old up. It meant I won my race. Anything for a win.Date of review: September 9, 2008
In short: Hilly, but pleasant autumn runIn full: Well organised but the start still seems to confuse many.Traffic free for most of the course so only the killer hills to worry about!Date of review: November 5, 2007
In short: Hard but FunDate of review: September 17, 2007
In short: Worth It For the TopIn full: Well marshalled, fast, flat. Start could be better.Date of review: October 15, 2006
In short: Well organised and marshalled. Pleasant but undulating, traffic free courseIn full: Was a welcome return for this race. I prefered the new course as it had less hills - especially the one that runs next to the school - its was a killer after 13 miles.Only saw one car on route - and that was a police car. Well marshalled and organised. The route changed has made it easy for runner at the back off the field as they no longer have to battle with runners who have already finished and returning to their cars.Date of review: August 20, 2006
In short: 2 Hills but mainly flat well organised marathon.In full: It did not seem there was that many people running the full mararthon. After the split I from the half I found myself runniing solo for a few miles. It a bit disappointing that you have to run on the main road for about half a mile on each lap but this did not ruin a well marshalled and organised race. There was plently on water stops on route and was well supported in areas. The hill you go up twice was not that bad. I still managed a PB by 10 mins.Date of review: May 7, 2006

Cavs outscored the Nets 55-33 in second half after trailing by 6 at halftime. Once again they threw a lot of ill advised passes in the first half, resulting in 14 turnovers, and once again they cleaned it up in the second half with only 6.
The Cavs shot a ridiculous 16-for-26 on 3-pointers. I really believe you should shoot the 3's at home and avoid them on the road. Travel takes something out of the legs and it shows on the longer shots.
After floundering for three games Jamison got it going with a spectacular game. He took over the 3rd quarter, offensively, defensively, and on the boards as the Cavs went from six down to six up. Looks like he ain't dead yet.
Casspi still looks lost out there, but at least he knocked down a 3. He looks slow, awkward and out-of-sync.
The bench outscored the Nets' bench 47-24. However, they played more minutes. The Nets had all five starters playing in excess of 30 minutes. Possibly fatigue was a factor in the second half as the Cavs held them to 33 points and blew the game open in the 4th quarter. Gee, Gibson, and Sessions were all +19 for the game.
Beating the 1-3 Nets at home without Brook Lopez is not that big a deal, but any win is a positive for this developing young team.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: A good beginners race for a worthwhile cause - St Giles HospiceIn full: A worthwhile race particularly if you're new to running. The distance this year (Dec 2012) was only actually 4k and not 6k as advertised ! There was good attendance and generally a warm atmosphere there. Apart from the distance cock-up I'd say that it was well organised and plenty of information sent out in advance to you. If you're new to running or just want a quick run on a Sunday morning to help raise funds for a good local charity then this is worth attending and I will be there next year !Date of review: January 4, 2013
In short: A fairly easy 5 miles course with only mild inclines. In full: A good race if you want to keep the extra calories at Xmas at bay ! Parking and changing facilities are good and well attended by various clubs. Perhaps not the most scenic of routes although part of it is through a small park. Venue is easy to reach and overall not bad for £10 - race times are on the clubs website within 24hrs.Date of review: January 4, 2013

Apple: All of a Sudden, Steve Jobs Matters?
I questioned Apple's (AAPL) ability to innovate without him.
I second-guessed many of the moves Tim Cook made upon taking over for Jobs. Everything from issuing a dividend to apologizing for MappleGate to not having a clue about how to advance Apple's living room ambitions .
I went so far as to suggest -- on international television ( CNBC) that, if he was still around, Steve Jobs would have fired Tim Cook over the maps fiasco.
I worried about future innovation. Would there be any?
This ongoing theme prompted what felt like an across-the-board trashing.
Hedge fund managers ripped me. Fellow financial writers labeled me a rudimentary, blathering twit. Commenters and emailers were relentless. One guy -- no joke -- sent a note telling me that if I came down with cancer it would be well-deserved.
All of this skepticism and venom as the stock shot up to $705.
Now, you can't type AAPL into the box at the top of TheStreet.com or at Yahoo! Finance without returning an endless string of stories asking the same questions and floating the same claims I have asked and floated since Steve Jobs prematurely left Earth.
If it wasn't all so pathetically irrational, I would feel vindicated, flattered and refreshed.
But, as I explained yesterday in Apple Sell-Off About A Year Too Soon , I cannot take credit for the early overreaction of a gaggle of class A analyst and media hacks.
That would be disingenuous.
My long-term bear case most always carried a qualifier: It doesn't kick in until sometime in 2013 or shortly thereafter. I still believe that. As such, I can't ignore how I feel just because much of the rest of the world decided to come late to the party with a co-opted and horribly misunderstood version of my bear case.
That said, I point to some things I said several times in the bearish AAPL articles I wrote. Here's how I phrased it on Aug. 24, 2012 :
Near-term: Apple must absolutely knock the snot out of the baseball when it reports its October-November-December results in January 2013. Before that, we should prepare for a relatively underwhelming quarter between last month's miss and the much-anticipated holiday report.
And, more importantly:
Emotion has a fascinating way of working itself into stock investing. You're long AAPL. It's kicking rear and taking names. For perfectly understandable reasons, you're passionate about the position. The best mistake you can make is to detach yourself from the hysteria and take some profits.
Because, if my long-term bearish outlook pans out and the stock follows, more than a few longs will dig their respective heels in. They will check their cost bases and claim they'll sell if AAPL falls (insert arbitrary percentage here).
However, as it falls, those profits you thought you were about to bank erode. You hold out for a rebound to recover a few bucks. The stock drops more. Before you know it, your profit pales in comparison to what it once was, you're sitting at breakeven or, worse, you're holding an on-paper loss.

The Undead: Organ Harvesting, the Ice-Water Test, Beating-Heart Cadavers--How Medicine Is Blurring the Line Between Life and Deathby Dick Teresi
In this fascinating look at how the determination of death has become complicated and bewildering, Dick Teresi introduces/b>
An important and provocative examination of why the line between life and death, consciousness and unconsciousness, is a blurred one, even with the tools of advanced technology, and especially in light of the business of organ harvesting.
In this fascinating look at how the determination of death has become complicated and bewildering, Dick Teresi introduces us to brain-death experts, hospice workers, undertakers, coma specialists and those who have recovered from coma, organ transplant surgeons and organ procurers, anesthesiologists who study pain in legally dead patients, doctors who have saved live patients from organ harvests, nurses who care for beating-heart cadavers, ICU doctors who feel subtly pressured to declare patients dead rather than save them, and many others. Teresi writes about how death has been determined through the ages, beginning with the ancient Egyptians, and about the 1968 Harvard Medical School paper that officially stated that death was not cardiopulmonary failure or cell death but a "loss of personhood"—i.e., brain death. And throughout, he makes clear that organ harvesting has become big business, while the medical establishment has become less and less clear about who is truly dead or alive.
Editorial Reviews
—The New York Times Book Review
"Reading Dick Teresi's book is like discovering that your college class has been hijacked by the spitball-lobbing kid in the back row—and that the kid is twice as smart as the prof ever was. . . . Taking on biologists, philosophers, and the medical establishment, Teresi zestfully skewers our confused thinking about life, death, and the states in between. A pleasure to read."
—Charles C. Mann, author of 1493 and 1491
"An indefatigable researcher and fluid writer, Mr. Teresi provides a good long riff on death past and present."
—The New York Times
"Charting historical definitions of death, the thinking of research greats and debates over near-death experiences, Teresi notes that the ethical challenges are immense, asking, for instance, whether all organ donors are unrevivable."
"The simple question Teresi asks is: 'When exactly is a person dead?' Prepare to have your assumptions shattered."
—The Globe and Mail (UK)
"Chilling, controversial, and, at times, comical commentary on physical death…All sorts of experts—on coma, animal euthanasia, and execution—as well as undertakers, organ transplant staff, neurologists, ethicists, and lawyers weigh-in on the death debate."
"As I was pulled into this startling, informative account of death-defying and death-defining, I couldn't help putting a checkmark in the margin next to every line that made me gasp—or laugh—or marvel at Dick Teresi's bold, inimitable reporting style. On some pages I made as many as four checkmarks. The book left me reeling at the welter of uncertainty that surrounds the certainty of death."
—Dava Sobel, author of Longitude and A More Perfect Heaven
"Like a real-life version of Robin Cook's medical thriller Coma, Teresi paints a grisly picture of organ harvesting and raises uncomfortable questions: Is the donor actually dead rather than at the point of death? Might he or she be revived given time and proper medical attention?. . . . Provocative. . . . [An] examination of important ethical issues and the still-unresolved question of what constitutes death."

Read an Excerpt
"B" Pod of the intensive care unit (ICU) at Baystate Medical Center is very bright: intense lights, everything painted in primary colors. Cabinets, counters, and chairs are a sparkling blue, obviously intended to be cheery, not sepulchral. A blue central stripe on the grayish linoleum floor leads us from room to room. There are three ICU pods at this Springfield, Massachusetts, hospital, each with three rooms arranged like spokes around a central station filled with computer terminals. Doctors and nurses come and go.
The patients in their separate rooms, like sickly fish in glass tanks arranged for observation, are largely slack-mouthed and gray or pale yellow in color. Most are fitted with clear plastic tubes the diameter of vacuum-cleaner hoses attached to their mouths. Most are old and gnarled, with sallow, sickly complex-ions. Sometimes one can see a bare concave chest or a yellowed foot sticking out from beneath a sheet. None is conversing.
We are not here to see them. We have come for the star of "B" Pod. We will call her Fernanda, a fifty-seven-year-old woman of Portuguese descent, who looks as though she might have just come back from a day at the mall. Her dark olive skin appears healthy against the sheets. Her features do not show the ravages of suffering or pain. Her eyes are closed beneath the heavy arched eyebrows. She has thick black eyelashes. Her wiry black hair with strands of gray is arranged neatly on the pillow. She has delicate legs and exquisite feet. Her face is serene; her chest rises and falls with the familiar rhythm of normal human breathing. She looks as if she had been put to sleep by a wicked queen in a fairy tale and needs only to be reanimated. Her vital signs, displayed on a monitor in squiggles the bright green of coloring books, are normal. She looks better than I do.
We are all there, including a group of medical students and interns, to watch Dr. Thomas Higgins pronounce Fernanda brain dead. She had been at work when coworkers found her on the fl oor and threw water on her face, a tactic that doesn't work well against ischemic stroke. She probably had a brief headache, says Higgins, then fell unconscious. The ICU doctors at Baystate feel she will not recover. The brain-death team is about to make it official.
Those expecting space-age equipment, sophisticated brain scans, and the like, won't find it. The exam is conducted mostly with tools you could find around your home: a flashlight, a Q-tip, some ice water. Her reflexes are tested. A light is shined in her eyes. Her head is turned from side to side. Cold water is squirted into an ear. She is disconnected from her ventilator to make sure she can't breathe on her own. In less time than my ophthalmologist took to prescribe my last pair of bifocals, Fernanda is declared brain dead. That means she is legally dead, just as dead under the law as if her heart had stopped beating. Fernanda is then hooked back up to her ventilator to keep her organs fresh for transplant. Her heart continues to beat; her lungs continue to breathe. Though dead, she remains the best-looking patient in the ICU. The declaration of her death was more philosophical than physiological. A nurse says, "Whatever it was that made her her isn't there anymore."
Death Is Here to Stay
For all the accomplishments of molecular biology, we still can't tell a live cat from a dead cat.
—Lynn Margulis
ARE YOU dead or alive? A dumb question, it would seem. If you're reading this book, you are most likely alive. You know it, but do those in control know it? Will they acknowledge it? These are no longer stupid questions. The bar for being dead has been lowered. The bar for being considered alive has been raised. The old standards for life—Are you breathing? Is your heart beating? Are your cells still intact, not putrifying?—have been abandoned by the medical community in favor of a more demanding standard. Are you a person? Is what makes you you still intact? Can you prove it? Such concepts were previously the domain of philosophers and priests, but today it is doctors who determine our legal humanity. The dead are also not immune from judgment. A presidential council on bioethics recently determined that some dead people are less "healthy" than others. It is a different world.
This is a book about physical death. It began as a simple magazine article more than a decade ago, a report on the state of the art of death determination. I assumed I would find hightech medical equipment and techniques that would tell us when a human being had stopped living, that would pinpoint the moment that "what made her her" was gone. I eventually abandoned this goal and the article itself. Humans have long lived in denial about their own deaths, but I discovered that this denial has spread to the medical establishment, even to our beliefs about who is dead and who is alive. Our technology has not illuminated death; it has only expanded the breadth of our ignorance. Technology indicates that many of our assumptions about life and death, consciousness and unconsciousness, are wrong. Technology is telling us a great deal about our ignorance, but we are ignoring the information. My focus is scientific information about physiological death, but science and cultural factors often compete in an unproductive manner, canceling each other out. Though we have made technological advances, they often remain unused when it comes to dealing with the dying and dead, so cultural factors—philosophy, ethics, economics, religion—cannot be ignored.
Death, for most people, is not a comforting topic, and thus in the great mass of nonfiction literature devoted to the topic, death is treated as something that happens to someone else. My temptation is to write this as if I were narrating a dirigible explosion ("Oh, the humanity!"). Someone far away, perhaps in New Jersey, is dying. You, the audience, and I, the announcer, are merely witnesses. Let us reject that fiction. You, the reader, will die. If it is any consolation, keep in mind that I will also die. At my age, sooner rather than later.
During my research, I have spoken about death before groups of people on several occasions: to classes of college students, to groups of senior citizens, to people at dinner parties and other social gatherings. For the most part, those discussions have been disastrous. When I was talking at a dinner about the vagaries of brain death and the fact that our technology cannot ascertain the condition of most of the brain, one woman, a medical doctor, actually rose from her seat and yelled at me. She said that writing about this topic was "irresponsible," that it would set organ donation back decades. She threatened to "call your editor." In an undergraduate honors class at the University of Massachusetts, a senior premed major became angry with me when I spoke about patients in persistent vegetative state who show signs of consciousness. Her grandmother was in a comatose state, and her family was confused about what to do. The woman's estate was dwindling because of her care, and, I gathered, so were the student's hopes of paying for medical school. The premed student said that her grandmother was no longer "useful." Those were two remarkable cases, but in general I made people uneasy, even angry. They defended their traditional ideas of life and death to me passionately, forcefully. My protestations that I was merely a journalist reporting facts as I found them, not making moral judgments, was of no consolation. I told the angry doctor that she could yank as many organs as she pleased out of people, and I would not stop or condemn her. I told the student that she and her family could pull the plug on Grandmother and I would not say a word. This just made them angrier. Not everyone was upset with the facts I presented. But those who were, were livid.
It was years before I figured out my apparent mistake. I assumed the information I was presenting, which threatens traditional views of death, was upsetting them. I now believe that it was something simpler: I was reminding people that they were going to die. Not someone else. Them.
In 1973, the cultural anthropologist Ernest Becker put forth an unusual thesis. In The Denial of Death, his Pulitzer Prize–winning book, Becker said that humans are like other animals, with an evolutionary drive to survive. "Live! Live! Live!" our genes are screaming at us. Unlike other animals, however, said Becker, we humans know we cannot ultimately survive, that we will die. This dilemma, he believed, drives us mad. The awareness of our inevitable annihilation combined with our evolutionary program for self-preservation holds the potential for evoking paralyzing terror. Becker stated, "The result was the emergence of man as we know him: a hyperanxious animal who constantly invents reasons for anxiety even where there are none." Becker wrote that man is terrified of death, and deals with this terror by denying death and keeping it unconscious. He felt that this terror directs a "substantial portion of human behavior," according to one researcher.
Becker's hypothesis was wide-sweeping. Death terror, he said, was the primary reason that humans created culture. Our religions, our political systems, our art, music, and literature—all this we have constructed "to assure ourselves that we have achieved something of lasting worth." Becker said that "everything that man does in his symbolic world is an attempt to deny and overcome his grotesque fate. He literally drives himself into a blind obliviousness with social games, psychological tricks, personal preoccupations so far removed from the reality of his situation that they are forms of madness—agreed madness, shared madness, disguised and dignified madness, but madness all the same." Those who delude themselves into believing they have achieved something of lasting worth would include, I assume, people who write books.
Becker's theory was intriguing, plausible, and explained much of human behavior. Its only fl aw was that Becker had no concrete evidence. As a matter of fact, how would one even go about testing the hypothesis? Terror management was the superstring theory of anthropology—fascinating but not testable.
Help came long after Becker had resolved, by dying, his own death terror. In the late 1970s, three graduate students on an intramural bowling team at the University of Kansas began discussing death terror while the pins were being reset. Through the years, Jeff Greenberg, Tom Pyszczynski, and Sheldon Solomon translated Becker's ideas into a formal theory that could be examined empirically. Their work culminated in a series of remarkable "mortality salience" experiments detailed in a 1997 paper.
Subjects were not told the true purpose of the experiment. Irrelevant questions and reading passages were included to mislead them. Embedded in an opening questionnaire, however, were these directions: "Please describe the emotions the thought of your own death arouses in you. Jot down, as specifically as you can, what you think will happen to you physically as you die and once you are physically dead."
Greenberg, Pyszczynski, and Solomon used this and other techniques in different experiments, such as asking subjects to write their own obituaries or flashing the word "death" intermittently on a computer screen for twenty-eight milliseconds. In another case, the researchers used no verbal signals. They simply interviewed subjects in front of a funeral home. Control groups received no such death signals.
At the heart of the experiment were essays, pro-American and anti-American, supposedly written by foreign students studying in the United States but actually written by the psychologists. The pro essays stated that the United States was the greatest country in the world, the land of opportunity and freedom, and so on. The anti essays stated that American ideals were phony and the rich were getting richer, the poor poorer. Those subjects who were subjected to "mortality salience" ranked the pro essayist as extremely likable, and the anti essayist as extremely unlikable. The control group was not nearly so adamant. Greenberg et al. say that those who are made aware of their mortality need to offset their inner terror by defending their worldview and will praise to extremes those who hold the same worldview and denigrate those who hold different values.

One of the most poorly researched and written books about such an important issue. I returned the book at B&N after reading the first chapter. There are Writers and there are Authors. Mr. Teresi, you are no Author. I do not recommend anyone purchasing this book.
I really liked Mr. Teresi's Lost Discoveries: The Ancient Roots of Modern Science-- from the Babylonians to the Maya and thought I would like this as well. I have to say, I feel as if I wasted my gift card on this book. It felt trashy and sensationalistic. He was trying to capture the reader with "gripping" stories of misdiagnosis but I think he himself was misunderstanding the medical process. Wish I could get my gift card back.

Are u a boy, girl or hen?
Imagine if a girl were the only female on a co-ed basketball team and nobody tried to force her to stop playing, or even cared. What if a teenage boy tried out for an all-female cheerleading squad and it went unnoticed? Could gender truly be removed from the equation? It's unlikely. In the U.S., a girl being kicked off a baseball team because of her gender -- or a boy being allowed on a girls' swim team despite his gender -- makes national headlines. And in Sweden, attempts to create a more gender-equal -- or even gender-neutral -- country are causing a stir.
In an effort to support gender neutrality, Sweden recently added a gender-neutral pronoun, "hen," to the country's National Encyclopedia. Slate reports that several preschools in Sweden have stopped making references to the gender of their students. Instead of calling children "boys and girls," teachers are referring to students as "buddies." One school even stopped allowing free playtime during the day because "stereotypical gender patterns are born and cemented. In free play there is hierarchy, exclusion, and the seed to bullying." And the country just published its first gender-neutral children's book, "Kivi och Monsterhund."
Full article
Another article along the same lines but with parts that are very disturbing to me.
By most peoples standards, Sweden is a paradise for liberated women. It has the highest proportion of working women in the world, and women earn about two-thirds of all degrees. Standard parental leave runs at 480 days, and 60 of those days are reserved exclusively for dads, causing some to credit the country with forging the way for a new kind of nurturing masculinity. In 2010, the World Economic Forum designated Sweden as the most gender-equal country in the world.
But for many Swedes, gender equality is not enough. Many are pushing for the Nordic nation to be not simply gender-equal but gender-neutral. The idea is that the government and society should tolerate no distinctions at all between the sexes. This means on the narrow level that society should show sensitivity to people who don't identify themselves as either male or female, including allowing any type of couple to marry. But thats the least radical part of the project. What many gender-neutral activists are after is a society that entirely erases traditional gender roles and stereotypes at even the most mundane levels.
Activists are lobbying for parents to be able to choose any name for their children (there are currently just 170 legally recognized unisex names in Sweden). The idea is that names should not be at all tied to gender, so it would be acceptable for parents to, say, name a girl Jack or a boy Lisa. A Swedish children's clothes company has removed the "boys" and "girls" sections in its stores, and the idea of dressing children in a gender-neutral manner has been widely discussed on parenting blogs. This Swedish toy catalog recently decided to switch things around, showing a boy in a Spider-Man costume pushing a pink pram, while a girl in denim rides a yellow tractor.
The Swedish Bowling Association has announced plans to merge male and female bowling tournaments in order to make the sport gender-neutral. Social Democrat politicians have proposed installing gender-neutral restrooms so that members of the public will not be compelled to categorize themselves as either ladies or gents. Several preschools have banished references to pupils' genders, instead referring to children by their first names or as "buddies." So, a teacher would say "good morning, buddies" or "good morning, Lisa, Tom, and Jack" rather than, "good morning, boys and girls." They believe this fulfills the national curriculum's guideline that preschools should "counteract traditional gender patterns and gender roles" and give girls and boys "the same opportunities to test and develop abilities and interests without being limited by stereotypical gender roles."
Earlier this month, the movement for gender neutrality reached a milestone: Just days after International Women's Day a new pronoun, hen (pronounced like the bird in English), was added to the online version of the countrys National Encyclopedia. The entry defines hen as a "proposed gender-neutral personal pronoun instead of he [han in Swedish] and she [hon]."The National Encyclopedia announcement came amid a heated debate about gender neutrality that has been raging in Swedish newspaper columns and TV studios and on parenting blogs and feminist websites. It was sparked by the publication of Sweden's first ever gender-neutral children's book, Kivi och Monsterhund(Kivi and Monsterdog). It tells the story of Kivi, who wants a dog for "hen's" birthday. The male author, Jesper Lundqvist, introduces several gender-neutral words in the book. For instance the words mammor and pappor (moms and dads) are replaced with mappor and pammor.
The free lifestyle magazine, Nöjesguiden, which is distributed in major Swedish cities and is similar to the Village Voice, recently released an issue using hen throughout. In his column, writer Kawa Zolfagari says, "It can be hard to handle the male ego sometimes. I myself tend to get a stinging feeling when a female friend has had it with sexism or has got hurt because of some guy and desperately blurts out some generalisation about men. Sometimes I think 'Hen knows me, hen knows I am not an idiot, why does hen speak that way of all men?' Nöjesguiden's editor, Margret Atladottir, said hen ought to be included in the dictionary of the Swedish Academy, the body that awards the Nobel Prize in literature.
Hen was first mentioned by Swedish linguists in the mid-1960s, and then in 1994 the late linguist Hans Karlgren suggested adding hen as a new personal pronoun, mostly for practical reasons. Karlgren was trying to avoid the awkward he/she that gums up writing, and invent a single word "that enables us to speak of a person without specifying their gender. He argued that it could improve the Swedish language and make it more nuanced.
Today's hen champions, however, have a distinctly political agenda. For instance, Lundqvist's book is published by a house named Olika, which means different or diverse. Olika only publishes books that "challenge stereotypes and obsolete norms and traditions in the world of literature." Its titles include 100 möjligheter Istället för 2!(100 possibilities instead of 2!), a book for adults who "want to give children more opportunities in gender-stereotyped everyday life"; and Det var en gång en ritbok! (Once upon a time there was a drawing book!), the first "gender-scrutinizing" drawing book for children that "challenges traditional and diminishing conceptions of girls and boys, men and women."
But not everyone is keen on this political meddling with the Swedish language. In a recent interview for Vice magazine, Jan Guillou, one of Sweden's most well-known authors, referred to proponents of hen as "feminist activists who want to destroy our language." Other critics believe it can be psychologically and socially damaging, especially for children. Elise Claeson, a columnist and a former equality expert at the Swedish Confederation of Professions, has said that young children can become confused by the suggestion that there is a third, "in-between" gender at a time when their brains and bodies are developing. Adults should not interrupt children's discovery of their gender and sexuality, argues Claeson. She told the Swedish daily, Dagens Nyheter,that "gender ideologues" have managed to change the curriculum to establish that schools should actively counter gender roles.
Claeson might have a point. The Swedish school system has wholeheartedly, and probably too quickly and eagerly, embraced this new agenda. Last fall, 200 teachers attended a major government-sponsored conference discussing how to avoid "traditional gender patterns" in schools. At Egalia, one model Stockholm preschool, everything from the decoration to the books and toys are carefully selected to promote a gender-equal perspective and to avoid traditional presentations of gender and parenting roles. The teachers try to expose the pupils to as few "gendered expressions" as possible. At Christmastime, the Egalia staff rewrote a traditional song as "hen bakes cakes all day long." When pupils play house, they are encouraged to include "mommy, daddy, child" in their imaginary families, as well as "daddy, daddy, child"; "mommy, mommy, child"; "daddy, daddy, sister, aunty, child"; or any other modern combination.
To those who feel gender equality or gender neutrality ought to be intrinsic to a modern society, it probably makes sense to argue for instilling such values at an early age. The Green Party has even suggested placing "gender pedagogues" in every preschool in Stockholm, the Swedish capital, who can act as watchdogs. But of course toddlers cannot weigh arguments for and against linguistic interventions and they do not conceive of or analyze gender roles in the way that adults do.
Ironically, in the effort to free Swedish children from so-called normative behavior, gender-neutral proponents are also subjecting them to a whole set of new rules and new norms as certain forms of play become taboo, language becomes regulated, and children's interactions and attitudes are closely observed by teachers. One Swedish school got rid of its toy cars because boys "gender-coded" them and ascribed the cars higher status than other toys. Another preschool removed "free playtime" from its schedule because, as a pedagogue at the school put it, when children play freely "stereotypical gender patterns are born and cemented. In free play there is hierarchy, exclusion, and the seed to bullying." And so every detail of children's interactions gets micromanaged by concerned adults, who end up problematizing minute aspects of children's lives, from how they form friendships to what games they play and what songs they sing.
The world is going to hell in a hand basket.
It's starts simply by rejecting the truth of nature.
Please consider England in your prayers!
These articles make me feel ill. I just don't get it. I'm starting to believe you're right, Nate, when you say that liberalism is a disease.
Rejoice ever more. 1 Thessalonians 5:16
Oh dear, I think I'm a boy hen
How screwed up is that!
It's interesting that in order to force "equality" on children, they must first strip them of any freedom to think for themselves.
Because of political correctness, the children of Sweden are obviously being brought up in one of the most all-encompassing dictatorships that this world has ever seen.
but the word "hen" is another word for female.
Females of most animals can be called Hens....just like Males of most animals can be called "cocks" A Hen Bird for example, is a Female, a Cock Bird is a male.
So its a VERY poor choice of word for gender neutral...as its used to mean female everywhere else
Mindue...due to Swedens position on the globe...its probably not going to harm their children more then what already happens with the weather...how natural is it to go for months without a "night" in summer...and months without any daylight during the day in winter.
The Fins are actually pickled because of it I sware. Finland has a culture completely of its own, with its own ettiquette, and everything...as you might imagine...its most...depressing
Is the Green Party the rulling elite of Sweden?? No...so who cares what they suggest! The rulling party is a centrist-right coillition Government under a constitutional monarchy. The Green Party is in a coillition which failed to come to power in 2010.

Topic: Better date inputs for Rails
I recently spent an entire Saturday afternoon trying to get a replacement datebox for the awful one that comes with Rails. I wanted to use one that handles both Dates and DateTimes so I tried datebocks and a couple others. I continued to run into integration issues. It seems these plugins don't always "plug in" nice and easy. I end up researching and trying to debug all sorts of issues that appear in the console. After about 30 to 45 minutes I just abandon whatever the plugin is that's giving me the fuss. I don't have the time to debug everything I want to make use of.
Eventually I tried CalendarDateSelect since it seemed a good match for what I was looking for. It integrated fine, but it didn't seem to work well on the page (I suspect Javascript issues), so I submitted an bug, to which I got the reply that the developer couldn't reproduce the issue and he closed it. Now, I've tried this in Ubuntu with Firefox and in Windows with IE and had the same failed result. So I'm wondering if someone can confirm the glitch so I know I'm not crazy? You can confirm it directly with the online demo in 2 minutes.
http://www.restatesman.com/static/calen yphen_ampm
You must use the "hyphen_ampm" version.
Go to the Popup Calendars tab. Use the "With time" popup and select a date and a time. For me, this much works. After selecting a date/time, try modifying the result to a new date/time. I try clicking on the icon and get no result. Once I delete the time portion from the input field, the popup is again responsive when I click the icon.
For example, I selected "2007-08-03 5:30 PM". After selecting--or even hand entering this date for that matter--I can click my heart out on the calendar icon with no popup response.
Can anyone else reproduce this issue?
Thanks. I'd really like to validate this issue so that it can be resolved.

Posted on 11/20/2012 7:41:03 AM PST by yoe
A Senate proposal (touted) as protecting Americans' e-mail privacy has been quietly rewritten, giving government agencies more surveillance power than they possess under current law.
CNET has learned that Patrick Leahy, the influential Democratic chairman of the Senate Judiciary committee, has dramatically reshaped his legislation in response to law enforcement concerns. A vote on his bill, which now authorizes warrantless access to Americans' e-mail, is scheduled for next week.
Leahy's rewritten bill would allow more than 22 agencies -- including the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Federal Communications Commission -- to access Americans' e-mail, Google Docs files, Facebook wall posts, and Twitter direct messages without a search warrant. It also would give the FBI and Homeland Security more authority, in some circumstances, to gain full access to Internet accounts without notifying either the owner or a judge.

I guess if you want any privacy you should use the USPS.
Everyone talked about how this could/would happen when the Patriot Act was introduced..
Email is not a secure medium, and trying to pretend that it is is foolish.
Passing laws to restrict the ability of third parties from reading email makes as much sense as passing laws to keep the rest of the neighborhood from listening in while you the guy next door yell at each other from your respective back porches.
Email is a party line that anyone can listen in on. If you don't want everyone to hear, encrypt it.
Who cares? If they read my FB postings, they know.

Just use code words. My family has been doing it for years. The volume of email traffic is so much that they would have to use programs that key in on certain words or phrases. They would then need a human to cipher thru all the garbage.
I will be arrested for being The Least Interesting Man In The World.
Invest in a secure certificate for your email, and you can encrypt your communications. I setup a basic email relay on some cheap home computer equipment and use a software certificate I purchased from Entrust for $20. In order to read my email, you have to have the proper hash key on the other end or be the certified recipient of the email. Since I don't send much email, it doesn't matter, but the peace of mind is worth it.
Purchase a TPM module for your existing computer or buy one with it already installed (pretty standard in newer stuff), and you can encrypt your thumb drives and local disks to prevent anyone from accessing it without a secure password.
I use multi-factor encryption/authentication for all of my stuff. If the FBI, CIA, or local law enforcement wanted to see what's on my computers, they'd need my 31 character, 156 bit password or have a supercomputer powerful enough to crack 2048 bit encryption. Something tells me they won't waste their time.
Sarin, plutonium, Pentagon, White House, bin Laden.
Oops, this is the Obama administration. New suspect words must be used:
Freedom, liberty, second amendment, Constitution, birth certificate, America.
My guess is a lot of people care. Not everyone uses Facebook, nor do they want the government reading their email.
The ever increasing noose is tightened around our necks.
Nice knowing you America.
It was a facetious comment. My point is that what I put on FB is much more damming than any of my emails, if the gov. is interested.
Use a 128 keyword to encrypt and maybe their great grand kids might crack it, or use what's called "a one time pad" or to really play with whatever minds they have, just type gibberish with one or two key words in the clear to have them pull it.
Gotcha. Sometimes it's hard to tell in the written word. :)
"Everyone talked about how this could/would happen when the Patriot Act was introduced."
Not quite everyone. Republican statists assured everyone that it couldn't happen here.
Both parties are accomplices in the embezzlement of American liberty.
I know. But I do think it's ridiculous how much info the gov. can get on us without a warrant. I guess we can thank the Patriot Act for that.
"Just use code words."
Navajo code words, of course!
(Actually, I'd go for a more obscure language.
"It is estimated that 6,809 "living" languages exist in the world today, but 90% of them are spoken by fewer than 100,000 people." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indigenous_language
I'd also pick a decoy language and send, from an autonomous, very remote server, messages in that language sprinkled with words & phrases designed to trip the NSA alarms.
Just to yank someone's chain, of course. Mix in a few Arabic or Farsi phrases as Red Herrings.
(oooooh, I'm getting WAY too much enjoyment out of devious planning!)
LOL, that is a good one. You may get a knock on your door from the guys with the dark sunglasses and black suits though.
The Government already captures & stores all of our emails, texts, phone calls & electronic purchases with plans to increase their capabilities --
The NSA Is Building the Countrys Biggest Spy Center (Watch What You Say)
Most conservatives gave Bush a free pass on this. Now, most liberals are doing the same.
Completely unconstitutional under the 4th Amendment:
"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
If a government agency wants to read my private email, search my house, attach tracking devices to my car, etc., get a warrant! It's really that simple, and I have no problem whatsoever submitting to legal (constitutional) searches.
You'd think liberals would be up in arms over this, too!
Remember when he FBI was unlawfully obtaining and then reading the list of library books Americans had taken out and were reading? It was not long afterward that the US congress made it legal to obtain this and much more private information about Americans!
If you break into this Country, are here illegally, law enforcement are NOT allowed to ask or acquire any private information about you, that would be profiling and it is prohibited.
If you are an American, white, male, you have no constitutional protections, just ask Eric Holder, he proclaimed that he would not prosecute any blacks for hate crimes against whites, sine those laws do not protect whites, only minorities, e.g. blacks!
Welcome to Amerika! Fascist States of America
I think it goes back to the Antiterrorism Act of 1993, the bill that patriot is based on. Many of the problems with teh Republican-passed Patriot Act were in the Democrat-passed AT Act 93, but you know how things get reported.
Liberals and conservatives both have given the Feds unlimited power to do this for years.
There is ZERO difference between the two parties on issues such as these.
While you are correct in your cognizance of the electronic facts, there is a BIG difference between "third parties" and the police reading your communications for purposes of surveillance or arrest.
Your penance is to READ the Fourth Amendment twenty times. Here you go:
What's the big deal? If you're not doing anything wrong, what are you afraid of? /s

The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

Re: Complete Rails and developer tool installation for a new Mac user....
oki, i thought the apache in os x used your user account. just do chmod -R 777 ~/Sites, which gives other Read/Write/Execute too. the problem with finder is, you can't set the execute flag.
I told Finder to change 'Others' access back to 'Read Only', and everything went back to the way it was before - so obviously you're correct in saying that Apache isn't using my user account.
Would it not be safest to add Apache to my user account, so that I don't have to give Read/Write to all other services, or is it safe to leave Read/Write access to 'Others' ? I can see 'appserveradm' and 'appserverusr' listed - are these the ones that need to have R/W?

Yesterday was a poignant time for all of us serving in Ankara. Upon arrival in Turkey, Secretary Kerry participated in a memorial service for Mustafa Akarsu, an embassy guard killed in a suicide bombing attack one month earlier. Together with Akarsu's widow Yasemin and children Sami and Hilal, Kerry viewed a monument in Mustafa's memory. The monument includes a fountain to signify the meaning of the family surname -- which means "flowing water" -- and a newly planted tree chosen by Mustafa's children.
In his remarks to the assembled embassy community, Kerry praised the dedication of embassy staffers around the world. Of Akarsu's sacrifice, he said:
"As you know, the day Mustafa gave his life for this embassy and those of you who were inside it -- that was my first day as Secretary of State. When I raised my hand to take the oath of office, this tragedy was on my mind ad in my heart. And every day for the past four weeks, I have carried the memory of Mustafa's courage and sacrifice with me. It reminds me that we work in a dangerous world, but that our work is indispensible."
Kerry presented the Thomas Jefferson Star medals to Akarsu's widow, in recognition of Mustafa's heroism in protecting the embassy when it was under attack. "His sacrifice will not be forgotten," read the award citation. The U.S. Embassy's Marine Detachment Commander also presented Mrs. Akarsu with the flag that was flying over the embassy on the day Mustafa was killed.
The Secretary also honored two guards, Tunca Avcı and Şefik Soylu, who were on duty with Mustafa on February 1. They were given heroism awards for their quick actions to secure the bombing area and rescue an injured local journalist.
Yesterday, we remembered a colleague and a friend. We hope to honor his life through our work in the days, and weeks, and years to come.
Lonna Lisa W. in Turkey writes:
I am an American teacher and journalist who has lived in Turkey for almost 2 years. I stood at the spot where the bomb exploded at the U.S. Embassy in Ankara, 2 months before it happened. The Turkish guards were very helpful to me then, and I am so sorry Akarsu was killed. I wrote a tribute to him for "Digital Journal" and a story about Secretary Kerry's visit. I thought his speech was very inspirational. Thank you for posting this and for the lovely photo.
H. Yasar T. in Turkey writes:
I appreciate the Ambassador's and The Secretary's stand on such an unfortunate event..I wish them well.
Kari F. in Washington, D.C. writes:
Mustafa Akarsu showed amazing dedication and courage. Thank you Secretary Kerry for giving him and his family this recognition.

Ryan Brunt grabbed a dramatic injury-time winner to continue Bristol Rovers' revival under John Ward with a 2-1 victory over Barnet.
- Related Content
The recent signing from Stoke found the roof of the net from a narrow angle after Lee Brown's shot had been deflected into his path.
Fabian Broghammer had fired the home side in front from Brown's left-wing cross after 77 minutes but substitute Harry Crawford levelled for the visitors with a low shot in the last minute.
Crawford picked his spot from 10 yards just moments after being guilty of a glaring miss when he shot over an unguarded net.
But an 8,000 Friday night crowd roared Rovers to their fourth win in six games under Ward and a result which lifted them out of the bottom two.
Rovers made a fast start with Broghammer having a shot deflected just off target and Brunt and Mark McCrystal also going close.
But Barnet, driven on by player-boss Edgar Davids, gradually got into the game and the Dutchman turned the clock back with one moment of magic after 59 minutes, forcing a fine save from Steve Mildenhall with a perfectly-struck shot from 35 yards.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (1 vote).
In short: Fair event, but concerns on distances or timings..In full: First go at a tri for a while. Based on the colerne airfield and MOD base. Pretty welcoming event to all..friendly competitors and helpful, friendly people at registration. Swim based inside base pool, 25m standard issue, then out into the cold to jump on the bike. Rackiing pretty tight together but transistion area fairly quiet as my wave came out. Cycle route on quiet roads, out around base perimeter and then straight along before mile or so steep decline in towards Batheaston...unfortunately just as steep back up! Racking bike up on return and off on the run..around the base on tarmac routes, and then back in on grass. Overall, not a bad event...a little lacking in atmosphere, a lot of 80's music from Now 5 if my memory serves me. Unfortunately the finish was some way from the spectator area..so even if you had people watching, its far enough to not appreciate their presence when you cross the line. Had been T similar event weekend before and buzzing atmos as runners come down long last drag to finish, surrounded by support. On finishing this race, kind of felt quite anticlimatic.Even more worrying is discussion of race course being up to 800 m short according to more than one runners garmin. My run time backs this up. Surely undermines the efforts put in to organise an event. Potential to be good fun, but need to brighten it up, and get distances correct.Date of review: September 23, 2012

DNA Links Serial Killer To Cold Cases
Portland police say DNA evidence links Randall Woodfield, known as the I-5 Killer, to three deaths from the early 1980s.
Detective Jim Lawrence of the cold case unit says the man known
as the I-5 killer fatally shot a Beaverton woman and two Portland
residents during a crime spree that stretched from Northern
California to Washington state. He says detectives can now prove
Woodfield killed seven people during the spree and committed more
than two dozen robberies, some involving sexual assaults.
The 62-year-old Woodfield is serving a life sentence in the
Oregon State Penitentiary.
He won't be prosecuted for the killings announced Thursday
unless he becomes eligible for parole. Prosecutors say that is a
very slim possibility.
