Memorial Day Editorials Honor the Past, Confront the Present
E&P Staff May 29, 2005
On Memorial Day weekend, at the end of a bloody and discouraging month in Iraq, many of the nation's newspapers paid service to the veterans of all wars while exploring choices posed by the current conflict.
The Sun of Baltimore took a particularly strong stand: "If the Bush administration truly wanted to memorialize the war dead, it wouldn't spirit them into Dover Air Force Base under cover of a photo blackout — as if the White House were ashamed of those who died abroad. If the president truly wished to honor their memory, he would demonstrate to the nation that the government that has botched so much of the war at least has some inkling as to how to draw it to a successful conclusion — so that the dead will not have died in vain.
"But critics of the war have a particular responsibility, too. The best way to honor the memory of all those American heroes who have been killed in action is not to lose faith, or hope, but to remain engaged, to hold the administration to account, to seek out and advocate ways to achieve a real peace in Asia. It still must be possible — and it would be a lasting monument to those who gave their lives for their country."
The Minneapolis Star-Tribune also hit hard. "In exchange for our uniformed young people's willingness to offer the gift of their lives, civilian Americans owe them something important: It is our duty to ensure that they never are called to make that sacrifice unless it is truly necessary for the security of the country.
"In the case of Iraq, the American public has failed them; we did not prevent the Bush administration from spending their blood in an unnecessary war based on contrived concerns about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction. President Bush and those around him lied, and the rest of us let them. Harsh? Yes. True? Also yes. Perhaps it happened because Americans, understandably, don't expect untruths from those in power. But that works better as an explanation than as an excuse. …
"As this bloody month of car bombs and American deaths — the most since January — comes to a close, as we gather in groups small and large to honor our war dead, let us all sing of their bravery and sacrifice. But let us also ask their forgiveness for sending them to a war that should never have happened. In the 1960s it was Vietnam. Today it is Iraq."
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel observed: "More than 1,800 Americans have died in Afghanistan and Iraq, at least 35 of them from Wisconsin. Heading into the weekend, the latest Wisconsinite to die in the service of his country was Army Pfc. Kyle Hemauer, 21, a 2002 graduate of Chilton High School, who lost his life in Afghanistan.
"Because there is more work to be done on these two fronts, the list of fallen Americans will grow longer, the graves more numerous, the number of grieving families larger. It is both the honor and the obligation of the rest of us, the survivors, to remember and honor those brave patriots who will never come home."
The Record of Bergen County, N.J.: "When the invasion of Iraq began more than two years ago, no one believed we would still be mourning American losses today.
"Yet almost 1,650 U.S. soldiers have died, and they continue to die on an average of one each day. Even with a new Iraqi government in place, the insurgency grinds on, and American losses continue in this war that more and more Americans seem to want to ignore."
The Albuquerque Tribune noted: "This year's deaths bring to 10 the number of New Mexicans in arms who have died since the war in Iraq began.
"We must never forget them. Here are more things we can do in their name:
"We should support nonpartisan federal and state legislation that helps veterans and their families, such as Gov. Bill Richardson's successful effort earlier this year to provide $250,000 in life insurance to New Mexico's National Guard and Reserve members serving their country.
"We could, as a columnist recently suggested in the Tribune, say a simple, spontaneous thank-you by offering to buy a vet a meal at a local restaurant. Or buy a vet a drink at the local pub. We could do a favor for the family of an active duty serviceman or woman.
"We could encourage and praise celebrities, public figures or politicians who help our men and women in uniform or their families, as the governor did earlier this year by buying a plane ticket so that a grieving father could attend the military funeral of a his slain son in New Mexico.
"In these, and many other ways, we can honor those who have honored us and our country with their duty, their courage and, too often, their lives."

(Beirut) –Bahrain's ruler should order the release of doctors and medical personnel jailed on October 2, 2012 following an appeals court failure to reverse their 2011 convictions by a special military court, Human Rights Watch said today. Human Rights Watch called on King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa to expunge the convictions and criminal records of nine medical personnel whose sentences were upheld by the appeals court because the convictions were based in part on confessions obtained by torture and in proceedings that were fundamentally unfair.
Authorities took six of the nine into custody in early morning raids on their homes on October 2. The other three had finished serving their prison terms. The sentences stem from the doctors' support of pro-democracy street protests and medical care provided to demonstrators in early 2011.
The Court of Cassation, Bahrain's highest appeals court, on October 1 affirmed convictions against the nine on charges related to freedom of expression and peaceful assembly, including "incitement of hatred against the regime" and "participation in illegal gatherings." There are no further avenues for appeal.
The Court of Cassation upheld a five-year sentence for Dr. Ali al-Ekri and three years for Ibrahim al-Dimistani, a paramedic, on charges including "attempting to overthrow the government." The court upheld one-year sentences for Dr. Ghassan Dhaif, an oral surgeon, and Dr. Saeed al-Samahiji, an ophthalmologist, for "forcibly detaining a policeman in the hospital" and "incitement of sectarian hatred." It also upheld a two-month sentence for Dheiya Jaffar, a nurse, and six months for Dr. Mahmoud Asghar for "participation in illegal gatherings." Dr. Bassim Dhaif, Dr. Nader Diwani, and Dr. Abdulkhaleq Al Oraibi had received month-long sentences for "participation in illegal gatherings." They have not been re-arrested on the basis that they already served their sentences during their detention, between April and September 2011.
The original convictions were based on testimony and evidence presented by military prosecutors in 2011 in Courts of National Safety, special military courts set up to try those arrested in connection with the protests. Many of the medical personnel, including those whose sentences were upheld on October 1, told Human Rights Watch that authorities subjected them to torture, did not allow them to meet with their lawyers and families for weeks, and forced them to sign coerced confessions.
In its report issued in late November 2011, the Bahrain Independent Commission of Inquiry established by King Hamad to investigate human rights abuses, confirmed that medical personnel were tortured in custody. In mid-September 2012 Bahrain's Public Prosecution Office announced it had referred two security officers implicated in the torture of medical personnel in detention to the High Criminal Court. At the military court trials, however, judges routinely rejected complaints of torture made by defendants, including several medical personnel, without appearing to investigate whether evidence had been obtained by torture. The military court trials also failed to meet other crucial international fair trial standards, including access to counsel and the right to call and examine witnesses.
On June 14, an appellate court had reduced the sentences imposed by the military court on the nine but upheld the charges. It quashed convictions in a separate case against nine others convicted on misdemeanor offenses and upheld sentences of 15 years against two medics tried in absentia.
Many doctors and other medical personnel against whom charges were dropped have said that the authorities continued to harass them. At a news conference at the Bahrain Human Rights Society on October 2, doctors and others who were acquitted said they had received notices from the Health Ministry summoning them for further questioning by a special committee for their role in the 2011 protests.
The Bahrain Medical Society, a professional association whose board was replaced by the Health Ministry in April 2011 for "involvement in politics," has pressed the ministry to continue investigating acquitted medical personnel on grounds of "concealing weapons at the hospital" and "refusing to treat patients," even though those claims already were dismissed in court. On October 6, Al Wasat, Bahrain's one independent daily, reported that a committee had been formed, pursuant to a Ministry of Health decree, to investigate the acquitted medics for attending unauthorized gatherings.
An October 8, 2012 news release on the conviction of medical personnel in Bahrain incorrectly stated that on June 14, an appellate court had upheld the sentences of nine medics. In fact, the court upheld the charges but reduced the sentences against the medics.
The presser also incorrectly stated that earlier in the year, a court had quashed the sentences of nine others convicted of misdemeanor offenses, while upholding the 15-year sentences of two medics. Rather, all 11 were among the 20 medics who faced felony charges. Additionally, this ruling was also handed down on June 14, not earlier in the year.

Sometimes the things we resist influence us the most. For me, this was certainly the case with the paintings of Mark Rothko.
As a young man I found myself alienated from many modernist works. I felt they were overly intellectual; you needed a degree to begin to approach them much less understand them. They didn't meet the audience half way. Some of them even needed critical interpretation to be fully resolved.
Nonetheless, my intensely emotional reactions to Mark Rothko's paintings were undeniable. Standing before these fields of color produced a physical sensation, much like listening to music. Rothko was able to communicate powerful emotions with the simplest means. Often his canvases were composed no more than two rectangles inside the larger rectangular field of the canvas or as few as three colors. Unlike DeKooning, gesture isn't what communicates emotion – Rothko's canvases are stained. Rothko's use of scale, quite different than Albers', also impressed me; the large fields immerse you in the sensation of color, further intensifying it.
Rothko's painting was more than an exploration of optics, it was also a spiritual quest. It's not just color-for-color's sake; it's color placed in the service of the human spirit. Upon further study, I found that many early modernists shared a similar spiritual impulse and used abstraction in a quest for a universal language that reached beyond time and culture. For me this was the link between the modernists I appreciated and the ones that left me cold. It was a quest I resonated with. It started a chain reaction within my thinking about and appreciation of art. I continue to search for similar qualities in my own work.

A 22-year-old female student of the UERM was found dying on a street in Sta. Mesa, Manila, the other night.
Investigation by Det.Charles John Duran of the Manila Police District-Homicide Section showed that the victim, Eleonor Vicaldo, of San Luis St., Bgy. Kapitolyo, Pasig City, was gasping for breath when found at 7:20 p.m. in front of a house at 3131 Reposo St., Sta. Mesa, by one Cesar Victorino, who rushed her to the nearest hospital.
The victim was pronounced dead on arrival with no signs of any injury. It was learned that she had been suffering from asthma.
Police said an investigation is underway just the same.


Paul and Silas' ("several") days in Philippi were certainly eventful and not boring, to say the least. While in Philippi they birthed a church, cast out a demon from a slave girl, were accused of crimes against Rome, were beaten with rods (we call in "caning"), got thrown in jail (where they sang hymns!), were rescued by God through an earthquake, rescued the jailer from suicide, baptized the jailer and his household and received an apology from city officials for being beaten and imprisoned illegally. In all this, we read three amazing stories of people in Philippi who became believers that remind us God pursues everyone and is very creative in bringing people to faith in Jesus. Today we praise God for the salvation he gives us and celebrate how he pursues us and uses all kinds of different ways to bring us to faith in Jesus!

Абу Мансур Мухаммад ибн Ахмад (), или Дакики́ (), — персидский поэт второй половины X века.

Биография
Источники по-разному указывают место его рождения: Тус (ныне на севере Ирана), Самарканд, Балх. Он родился приблизительно в 948—950 годах и погиб в расцвете творческих сил в возрасте 30—35 лет, то есть около 978—983 годов. Служил при дворе саманидского эмира Hyxa II (975—997). В честь династии Саманидов составил много панегириков в форме «касыд».

Творчество
Дакики в раннем возрасте достиг поэтической славы как тонкий и блестящий лирик, и уже в возрасте двадцати пяти лет занимал почётное место при дворе правителей Чаганиана. Дакики до Фирдоуси начал писать «Шахнаме», занимаясь переводом оригинала повествования — «Хвайде-наме», но ещё молодым был убит своим рабом и по этой причине не закончил работу. По словам Фирдоуси, он включил в своё произведение написанные Дакики 5 тысяч бейтов (двустишие, состоящее из 2-х строк), то есть 10 тысяч строк.

Сохранилось также 444 строки касыд, лирических стихов, фрагментов и бейтов из его касыд, кыта, газелей, сатиры и других видов поэзии.

How the U.S. Can Become a 'Paradise of Gender Equality.'
The aura of mystery surrounding gender equality in Sweden and Scandinavia is actually not a mystery at all.
Kari Lindberg
Sweden and the rest of Scandinavia, crowned "a paradise of gender equality" by media for years, have routinely garnered a wishful longing from many American feminists. The aura of mystery surrounding gender equality in Sweden and Scandinavia is, however, not a mystery at all. The tools necessary to create this, as Lise Bergh noted in her speech to the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women in 2001, is to make gender equality central to policy-making.
To understand how Sweden made gender equality central to policy-making, one needs to first understand the two mechanisms central to policy-making: Sweden's welfare state and social democratic ideology work in tandem to promote and enforce gender equality. Linnea Halvarsson, policy advisor on gender based violence (GBV) to Kvinna till Kvinna, a Swedish organization that promotes gender equality and empowerment worldwide, noted "the key to success for gender equality is a combination of 'soft' and 'hard' reasons."
"The Swedish social insurance system with paid parental leave and paid sick child care leave, enables women to be both mothers and professionals, and this is a result of the core policy of gender equality," Halvarsson says. These core polices are supported by numerous equality act and anti-discrimination laws, such as the 2008 Anti-discrimination law (combining seven anti-discrimination laws into one), and an established Equality Ombudsman to enforce these laws.
At the beginning of the 1970s, the female participation in the labor force had leveled at 61 percent. With the enactment of these anti-discrimination laws, however, female participation in the labour force had risen to 83.7 percent in 2015.
While the decades old debate about whether an Equal Rights Amendment is necessary to act as a legal framework to enforce gender equality in the U.S., Sweden, in contrast, does not have an equal rights clause in its constitution, nor have they ever sought to add one.
Why? Unlike Sweden, the United States, is not a welfare state (the U.S has limited implementation as it applies to social security and medicaid), and has legal authority shared by three executive branches. Together, these factors make it harder to form a collective and cohesive political and legal stance than in Sweden. Therefore, given the span of the U.S. government, the absence of gender-specific constitutional language carries very different outcomes for gender equality. Essentially, without a constitutional guarantee of gender equality, the responsibility rests with different levels and branches of government to interpret the Equal Protection Clause as they see fit.
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg asserted in 1979 that this has created ambivalence around enforcement of the Equal Rights Protection Clause. "Equal protection adjudication is not so mechanical, clear, and certain, as commentators, over courts, and some of the Justices observed, particularly in the early 1970s," Ginsburg said.
Justice Ginsburg's remarks are echoed by many lawyers and professors of law, who continue to assert that ambivalence around the enforcement of the Equal Rights Protection Clause does a disservice to women. "Right now, if the state intended to treat women differently from men, then you might have an equal protection violation," noted Juile Suk, Professor of Law, Cardozo Law – Yeshiva University. "If the state is doing something that has a disproportionate impact on women, that is not considered an equal protection problem."
Further, gender experts have generally agreed that in countries where higher levels of gender equality exist, higher levels of reporting of sexual assault coincide. "In Sweden, rape that occurs ten times in a relationship is reported as ten different crimes," Halvarsson explained. "In most other judicial systems, it is counted as one single crime."
Many legal scholars also hypothesize that enacting an Equal Rights Amendment in the U.S. would dispel the ambiguity around the interpretation of the Equal Rights Protection Clause, allowing judges who view unintentional gender discrimination as grounds for legal action to take legal action. "For the judge who wants to open up a different way of thinking about gender equality, an Equal Rights Amendment would create an option that would provide a way out of some of the shackles of our past laws on gender equality," stated Suk.
Garrett Epps, Professor of Law at Baltimore University, noted that an Equal Rights Amendment would further strengthen existing gender laws. "If the U.S. Constitution included equal rights for women, potential laws guaranteeing equal treatment would have a lot more oomph behind them."
In light of the Trump administrations roll back on women's rights, including: Reversing on-campus sexual assault guidelines, rolling back the Obama care provision mandating employers cover the costs of birth control, disbanding the White House council on Women and Girls, defunding Planned Parenthood, the Global Gag Rule, halting efforts to track the gender pay gap, and the pulling back on a 2014 law that enabled sexually assaulted women to testify in a public forum, many feminists wonder whether an Equal Rights Amendment would have prevented these actions. In response, Suk surmises, "If we had an Equal Rights Amendment, it might have changed the way our politics and laws evolved; they would have evolved in ways that might have been more inhospitable to some of the politics that are gaining ground today."

Reality TV: 'Growing Up Gotti'
Victoria Gotti Biography
Reality Television Star (1962–)
Victoria Gotti is a writer, reality television participant and daughter of the late Gambino crime family Mafia boss, John Gotti.
Born in Brooklyn, New York, on November 27, 1962, Victoria Gotti is a writer, reality television participant and daughter of the late Gambino crime family Mafia boss, John Gotti (a.k.a. "The Dapper Don" or "The Teflon Don"). From August 2004 until December 2005, she was the star of Growing Up Gotti, an American reality television on the A&E Network.
Husband and Sons
In 1984, Gotti married her "first real boyfriend," Carmine Agnello whom she knew in high school and was working as a scrap-metal dealer. Together, the couple had three sons, Carmine, Frank and John. They also had a stillborn baby daughter they named Justine.
Gotti divorced Agnello in 2003.
Death of Frank Gotti
In March of 1980, Victoria's 12-year-old brother, Frank, was killed after he steered into traffic with his motorbike and collided with a car. The accident devastated Victoria, who referred to her brother as her "little doll." Soon after the incident, her mother reportedly hospitalized the driver of the car, John Favara, after she bludgeoned him with a baseball bat. Four months later, Favara was abducted and never seen again. Victoria claims she doesn't know any details concerning Favara's disappearance.
Despite the tragedy, Gotti was set on finishing her college degree and apply to law school, but she dropped out after realizing her shyness would prevent her from becoming a good attorney.
Conviction of Father John Gotti
In 1992, when Victoria was 30 years old, her father, John Gotti, was convicted of racketeering and five counts of murder. He was sentenced to life without parole. For Victoria, his imprisonment came as a shock. She denied the court's allegations, and remained devoted to her father. "They don't make men like him anymore," she has said of the alleged mob-boss, "and they never will."
In 1995 Gotti wrote her first book, Women and Mitral Valve Prolapse. Inspired by her own struggle with the illness, the book documented her heart condition in relatable terms, and was critically acclaimed by patients and doctors alike. This non-fiction success led to her career in fiction writing, and in 1997, her mystery novel The Senator's Daughter hit bookstores to solid reviews.
Husband's Imprisonment and Divorce
In 1999 Gotti published her second work of fiction, I'll Be Watching You, which also received high praise. But this same year, Victoria's family faced more hardship when brother, John "Junior" Gotti, pled guilty to extortion and bribery. He was sentenced to 77 months in prison.
The year 2000 was another emotional one for Gotti and her family. She published her third book, Superstar, and her husband was arrested for using extortion and arson to frighten a Queens business competitor. The "competitors" were actually undercover New York investigators, who had set up surveillance units to track Agnello. Victoria's husband faced up to 29 years in prison, and stood to lose his $4 million Long Island mansion, which he had put up in 1998 as bail for brother-in-law, Junior Gotti.
In addition to catching the scrap-metal magnate's illegal behavior, the videos captured Agnello's numerous infidelities with his bookkeeper. Victoria, angered by her husband's public betrayal, still stood by him, posting the royalties from her most recent book and the other half of the couples' mansion as bail money. A federal judge denied bail, claiming Agnello was a "threat to the community."
In 2002 Gotti's father passed away in a federal prison hospital after struggling with head and neck cancer. As the family's resident author, Victoria was asked by The New York Post to write an obituary for her father. The article hit papers on the same day as her father's funeral.
In 2003 Gotti and her husband finally reached their breaking point and Victoria filed for divorce, citing "constructive abandonment." Gotti received $12,500 a month in alimony and an additional $12,500 a month for her sons in a package worth an estimated $7 million. Agnello was released from prison in 2007, after serving a nine-year sentence.
Reality TV: 'Growing Up Gotti'
In 2004 Gotti and her teenage sons became the subjects of a reality show on A&E called Growing Up Gotti. The boys quickly became celebrity heartthrobs, and were commonly referred to as "the Hottie Gottis." The show was filmed in the family's seven-bedroom mansion on Long Island, and remained on the air until 2005.
In August of 2005, Victoria made headlines again when she announced she had breast cancer. The claim was later denied and her publicist, Matt Rich, whose mother passed away from the same disease, quit over the incident. Gotti later announced that tests had only discovered precancerous cells, and blamed media outlets for exaggerating her claims.
A former New York Post columnist and channel 5 reporter, Gotti is the author of several books, including her recent memoir This Family of Mine: What It Was Like Growing Up Gotti. She has also served as editor-at-large for Star magazine. In December 2011, Gotti took on another media role. She became the editor-in-chief at large for Reality Weekly. As part of her new job, Gotti writes her own column.
In February 2012, Gotti herself returned to reality television as a contestant on Donald Trump's business competition The Celebrity Apprentice. She faced off against the likes of actor George Takei, singer Clay Aiken, and fellow reality star Teresa Giudice to win money for her chosen charity, the Association to Benefit Children.
Victoria Gotti's House
In 2016 Victoria Gotti's mansion, a multimillion-dollar Long Island property with a four-car garage and tennis courts, were raided by the Feds in an ongoing investigation, along with her sons' auto parts shop.
Victoria Gotti was born on November 27, 1962, in Brooklyn, New York, to convicted mob-boss, John Gotti, and his wife, Victoria DiGiorgio. As a girl, Gotti was raised in a modest two-story house in Howard Beach, New York, with her four siblings. She was the shiest of the Gotti children; Victoria was so quiet that for several years her parents suspected their daughter was autistic.
Despite claims otherwise, Gotti says her family lived a sheltered, lower middle-class life with old-fashioned family values. Her mother made all of the children's clothes, and cut the girls' hair. As a teenager, her father was a very strict enforcer of curfews and was insistent on screening Victoria's boyfriends.Gotti's father was also frequently in-and-out of jail during her childhood. Her mother told the family that their father was away on business as a plumbing supplier, helping to build a prison facility. "I was raised to believe...none of what you hear, and only half of what you see," Victoria has said of her early years with her father.
The young Gotti daughter was an avid reader and devoted straight-A student. She skipped two grades in high school, entering St. Johns University in 1977, at the age of 15. While she was still attending St. Johns, Victoria was diagnosed with mitral valve prolapse, a condition that makes the heart race, causing dizziness and palpitations. Her condition meant that Gotti needed to watch her health carefully, take regular medication, and occasionally wear a heart monitor.

Pauline Hanson imposes 'deadline' of Thursday to reopen Queensland borders
By Michaela Whitbourn and Lydia Lynch
May 26, 2020 — 9.00pm
For our free coronavirus pandemic coverage, learn more here.
One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has imposed a "deadline" of Thursday on the Queensland Labor government to lift border restrictions in the state or face a constitutional challenge to the closures in the High Court.
Businessman and former politician Clive Palmer lodged documents in the High Court on Monday to challenge Western Australia's border restrictions on constitutional grounds, while Senator Hanson is supporting a similar challenge to Queensland's border controls.
Senator Hanson said she intended to present the case to Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk and it was "full steam ahead".

She said she had given the Labor leader a deadline of Thursday to respond to a request to revoke the border ban before proceeding to the High Court.
The High Court challenge, which has yet to be filed, would be led by Queensland law firm Mahoneys and NSW barrister Guy Reynolds, SC, who are expected to appear on behalf of a group of Queensland residents affected by the ban. The case would not be funded by taxpayers.
In a letter on Tuesday to Queensland's Chief Health Officer, Dr Jeannette Young, and copied to the Premier, Mahoneys says it acts for "various persons who consider that the border ban is invalid under the Commonwealth Constitution".
"We request that you undertake to revoke the border ban by 4pm on [Thursday] 28 May 2020 and otherwise undertake not to enforce it," the letter says.
"If you do not give that undertaking, and you do not otherwise satisfy us that the border ban is valid, we expect to receive instructions to commence proceedings in the High Court of Australia seeking a declaration that the border ban is invalid."
The firm requests a response to the letter by midday on Thursday and says "if you do not give the undertaking we have sought, we request that you provide us as soon as practicable and, in any event, by no later than 4pm ... all the material that you relied on as Chief Health Officer when you decided to issue the border ban".
The letter says the ban contravenes section 92 of the Commonwealth Constitution, which provides that trade and movement among the states "shall be absolutely free". Mr Palmer has also made this argument in his High Court challenge.
In addition, the firm says the closures violate the "fundamental constitutional guarantee" of equal treatment for state residents under section 117 of the Constitution.
That section provides that residents of one state shall not be subject in another state "to any disability or discrimination which would not be equally applicable" if they resided in another state.
Ms Palaszczuk's office was contacted for comment on Tuesday night. However, her office referred to previous comments made by Ms Palaszczuk that trade has not been restricted by the lockdown, and borders were likely to be reopened before the High Court could resolve any dispute.
"[If] she wants to do that, that's entirely up to her. But by the time any action … got to the High Court I'm quite sure that borders would be open again," she said.
The High Court would need to expedite any hearing for the challenge to serve a purpose, as the court would not award compensation to affected parties if the ban fell foul of the Constitution.
Senator Hanson said her office had received over 100 responses from her call for prospective plaintiffs to appear in the High Court case.
All states but NSW and Victoria, which are the nation's most populous states and have recorded the highest numbers of coronavirus infections, have imposed domestic border controls aimed at stopping the spread of COVID-19.

Competing in the Olympics has always been a dream of mine and since graduating from Cornell University in 2012 I've been doing all I can to keep that dream alive. Until recently this meant training whenever possible, mostly by myself, while working a full-time job. Despite long hours working and limited training I've been able to remain competitive in my event (800m for Mexico) but feel I have been leaving a lot on the table by not fully dedicating to my sport.
With 2016 being an olympic year, this past May the decision was made to leave my position as an operations manager at the Uber offices in Mexico City to train full time. Without the demands of 60-hour work week, finding the time to train is no longer an issue. The issue now is to train at the highest level possible and put myself in the best position to succeed. This has been something discussed at length for the past two years with my former track coach at Cornell, Kevin Thompson.
Coach Thompson as some of you reading this might know is very involved with a couple of non-profits in Kenya and has close ties to the Kenyan track and field community. As a result we've decided that my best chance at success would be to travel to and train in Iten, Kenya during the remainder of this year into the beginning of 2016 in order to be ready for the upcoming season. Also known as "The Home of Champions," Iten sits at high altitude and is free of the air pollution found in most major cities. This combination makes it an ideal training environment for endurance runners.
Along with Russell Dinkins from Princeton (yes Cornell's archrival!) I will be relocating to Iten this fall, and together we will chase our mutual dream of representing our countries in the Rio Olympics next summer. We both have received a tremendous amount of emotional support from those around us, but as amateur athletes we have received limited access to funding.
It is the most difficult thing to ask of anyone, especially those of you I know and respect, but your support however small or large is going to make the difference this year. Thank you for taking the time out to read up to this point. Russell and I would be lucky to have you as part of our Olympic dream.
A little over a year ago I took the first of many steps to leave my job and chase my childhood dream of competing in the Olympics. I wasn't sure how I was going to do it, but with your support there ended up being no limit to what was possible.
I truly believe that I put myself in the best possible scenario to achieve my goal, but sadly it just wasn't in the cards this time around. I pushed myself to the limit, going toe to toe with some of the best athletes in the world during this past year and learned so much more than I would have imagined.
I wish things could have gone differently and that I was writing to you with better news, but today is the deadline for having the Olympic qualifying time and sadly I was not able to achieve it. The dream must continue to be just that, but I end the season knowing that I did everything possible and your love and support was a big part of it all.
Thank you again and I hope that in the future I have the opportunity to be there for you when you decide to chase your dream.
Hello Everyone. I apologize in advance for the length of this post, but its been a while since I shared what I've been up to.
I cannot believe it has already been one month since I arrived in Iten! It has been full of unique experiences, lots of training and of course your typical minor setback. It is hard to really do this place justice, but I hope sharing my experience so far can help you all get a sense of what living and training out here is like.
Iten itself is a very small agrarian town located in the western part of Kenya. To give you a sense of just how small it is, you could drive through it in less than 5 minutes or leisurely walk it in about 30. One of the best things about Iten is location as well. It sits directly on the edge of Great Rift Valley and as you would expect, the view from up here is spectacular. I cannot even begin to describe the beauty, especially at sunrise.
This was the schedule for the first couple weeks and I loved it. Rest time throughout the day is very important in order to be ready for the next workout and the following day's. A minor injury had me adjust my routine a bit to aqua jog and bike, but thankfully I am healthy once again and can continue with my training without any further issues.
This schedule is pretty constant year round because of the different professional running seasons. So while some are tapering for races, others are just getting started for the following season. Whatever the season, you are always guaranteed to have company on the trails while running in Iten.
Almost everyone who lives here in Iten can be grouped into one of two groups. They are either from here or they have come here to train like I have. It definitely makes for an interesting and lively culture simply because people are from all over. The major tribe that calls this area home is the Kalenjin People who historically have been some of the best distance runners. Although they are not the only ones who have risen to prominence, they are typically the dominant distance runners in the country.
Their history is truly amazing and still deeply rooted in the society, but more important is their quality as people they. Everyone here is incredibly nice and accommodating whereever possible. Their humor also livens up the day, which is usually full of smiles.
By far the most impressive thing about everyone here is their work ethic which can be seen throughout the day. Things are not simply "done" here, they are done well and there is no better example than through their workouts. Having been witness and also a participant of some of the workouts, it is amazing to see the level of commitment these athletes have. Whether it is on the track or in the trails, their workouts are done at the highest level. Sometimes this leads to athletes going too hard too fast and not being able to finish workouts in their entirety, while other times it leads to breakthrough performances. Either way I hope to keep building my conditioning to soon be able to join them in the front pack!
Training back in the US and in Mexico typically involved travelling to trails multiple times of a week. Here it Iten, I have the luxury of having some of the best trails available no more than a few steps away from my doorstep. They go out in all directions and often times intersect with each other. This has already caused an unplanned "long" run, but thankfully getting lost is not so easy because all trails eventually lead back to the main roads. The soft dirt makes running easier on the legs, however the never ending hills are something I haven't had much of so it is taking some getting used to. One thing's for sure, running on the track after constantly going up and down all these hill is going to feel easy!
Amazingly the food here is very simple and easy to get accustomed too. All ingredients are fresh and organic, because there simply is nothing else. As I mentioned earlier, fresh chai very important to daily life here in Iten. It is included in almost every meal and throughout the day as well.
Breakfast usually consists of thin pancakes (think crepes), bread, eggs, fruit and maybe mandazi which are amazing. Mandazi are freshly deep fried dough and is can be eaten alone or with jam. For the most part breakfast is not very big unless the early training run was difficult. Chai is always present and a major part of the morning for almost everyone as well.
Lunch has been a mixture of many different things here at the camp, but for the most part it consists of rice, beans or lentils, fresh salad, fresh bread and soup. It is definitely more complete here, but for the most part is kept pretty simple as well. Also the majority of the time it is kept vegetarian, which is a nice change.
Dinner typically has two main dishes that are then accompanied by a variety of others. They are ugali which is a maize flour dish cooked to the consistency of dough and sauteed kale with onion and tomatoes called sukuma wiki. They are traditional and eaten by almost everyone because of how nutriotional they are, but also because they are very economical as well. These two dishes can also be eaten for lunch and sometimes even breakfast. Ugali is the staple for meals here because of its high carbohydrate content and it also is a good source of iron. Different proteins usually accompany these dishes, but traditionally they are not the center of attention. Another favorite of mine that is sometimes included is chapati. Essentially they are flour tortillas that have been cut into smaller triangles.
I think for me in particular, getting used to the food here has been very easy because it is so similar to what I have always been eating. Breakfast is just like most places back home, lunch is practically what I always ate growing up, and dinner is just another form of it as well. The main ingredients for me are pretty much the same, but just presented in different ways with the easy example being instead of corn or flour tortillas I now have ugali and chapati. Simply delicious and healthy food!
In summary, I think 4 months out here just won't be enough. Life is absolutely amazing and I am truly enjoying every second of every day that I am out here. Hopefully soon I will do a better job sharing my experience out here on a more frequent basis, because it really is something special.
Less than one week until the adventure begins! San Diego -> Boston -> London -> Nairobi -> Eldoret -> Iten! Just a couple flights and a car ride separate me from the "Home of Champions"
Menos de una semana hasta que empiece la aventura! San Diego -> Boston -> Londres-> Nairobi -> Eldoret -> Iten! Solo unos vuelos y en rato en coche me separa del "Hogar de campeones"
Thanks everyone for all the support and for spreading the word. It feels incredible to have you all behind me in this adventure. Updates to follow.
Gracias a todos por el apoyo y por correr la voz. Se siente increible tenerlos conmigo en esta aventura. Les estare manteniendo al tanto.
A darle con todo primo!


At Alpine Recovery Lodge, we have found that group therapy is an essential part of the recovery process. Drug and alcohol abuse tends to isolate addicts and it keeps them from sharing their experiences with people.
We know that community and connection is important to our well-being and overall success in life. When addicts don't socialize, they feel more isolated, which can actually make their addiction worse. It makes them feel like no one cares and if no one cares, they have may sense that what happens to them doesn't matter. Our group therapy sessions can help reduce the feelings of isolation.
Group therapy is often recommended to residents at Alpine Recovery Lodge as a complement to additional therapies, such as individual therapy, family therapy, and more. This is because when residents have a chance to share their stories with others, they realize that they do matter.
What's more, they also benefit from sharing their stories with other addicts. It can take time for residents to feel comfortable enough to share their experiences with drugs, alcohol, or other behavioral addictions, but once residents start to open up, their recovery can happen much faster.
Ongoing group therapy is recommended for recovering addicts even after they have left Alpine Recovery Lodge. These sessions will support them through trialing times over the rest of their life.
Once a resident has completed the treatment program and is ready to return to their life, group therapy is strongly recommended to help them make the transition and earn from others who are also trying to live a substance-free life. Talking about experiences with people who can understand will provide tremendous support and guidance to recovering addicts.
We've seen great success with our group therapy sessions for drug and alcohol addiction in Alpine, Utah. Once a resident is ready to attend a group therapy session, we include it as part of their treatment plan. Because some addicts need to go through intensive withdrawal treatment first, they might not be ready for group therapy right away. We'll continue to add group therapy sessions to complement their treatment plan as they progress through recovery.
Residents can expect a non-invasive and supportive environment at Alpine Recovery Lodge's group therapy sessions. Our licensed therapists never force residents to share, but it is highly encouraged because experience has shown that participation leads to tremendous transformation and a better understanding of addiction.
Group therapy offers residents at Alpine Recovery Lodge the chance to listen first and participate second. They can learn more about the recovery process and interact with people who are steps ahead and making recovery work for them. It encourages problem solving and critical thinking related to addiction and real-life situations. Group therapy also provides a routine and a reliable schedule, especially when treatment has ended and ongoing support is needed as a resident returns to their home or work. It also provides residents with an improved sense of self, self-esteem, and encouragement that they can overcome their addictions.
Oftentimes, members of group therapy will connect outside of therapy to create friendships, support networks, and long-lasting relationships that can all help improve the success of lasting sobriety. Once residents have left the treatment program at Alpine Recovery Lodge, group therapy can provide them access to a therapist without having to wait for individual appointments or without having to incur the costs associated with paying for individual therapy appointments at another location or facility.
Besides providing lasting support and chance of success, group therapy also provides an immediate outlet for recovering addicts to express their thoughts. Since Alpine Recovery Lodge runs group therapy sessions on an on-going basis, there is always a session that you can join and get the help you need. Whether you say anything or just want the comradery, there is always someone to listen or talk you through your recovery at Alpine Recovery Lodge.

First confirmed case of Ebola confirmed in the United States: CDC
September 30, 2014 October 19, 2014 Fred White No comments
The United States has one confirmed case of Ebola, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Tuesday, marking the first domestic appearance of the deadly virus that has ravaged swaths of continental Africa.
The as-yet unidentified patient is located in Dallas, officials say, effectively confirming a statement issued on Monday by Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas. The organization said that an unnamed patient was being tested for Ebola and had been placed in "strict isolation" due to the patient's symptoms and recent travel history.
In a press conference, CDC Director Tom Frieden said the patient in question had been traveling in Liberia, where he may have contracted the disease. He returned to the United States on the 20th of September, after which he sought care. Frieden attempted to assuage concerns about Ebola's contagious effect, saying that the virus was only spread through direct contact, and was not airborne. He vowed that officials would contain a potential spread.
"It is certainly possible that someone who had contact with this individual…could develop Ebola in the coming weeks," Frieden said, but added that "there is no doubt in my mind that we will stop it here," Frieden said.

A man walked into a Red Lobster claiming to work for the Taliban and have a bomb in his bag.
Largo Police Department received a call from the GM of the Red Lobster at Largo Mall located at 10500 Ulmerton Rd. Thursday afternoon.
According to the GM, a man with a black bag entered the store and told the hostess, "Just to make you smile, I work for the Taliban and I have a bomb in this bag."
The man asked for a booth near the window, and he and another woman were seated away from other guests.
At Largo PD's direction, the customers and staff were quietly evacuated as patrol officers set a perimeter around the building.
About 15 minutes later, the suspect left out the front door and told officers there was nothing in the bag and he was just joking.
The bag was searched, and no explosives or other suspicious materials were found.
Freddie Claudrick Bryant was arrested and charged with False Report Concerning Planting a Bomb or Explosive.
