Santa Clara University Has Its First Rhodes Scholar
32 students from across US win the prestigious award
Published November 23, 2008 • Updated on November 24, 2008 at 5:14 am
Thirty-two men and women from across the United States have been selected as Rhodes Scholars for 2009, the scholarship trust announced Sunday including three Bay Area students.
The scholars were selected from 769 applicants endorsed by 207 colleges and universities.
The scholars include first-time winners from Augsburg College in Minneapolis and Santa Clara University.
The scholarships, the oldest of the international study awards available to American students, provide two or three years of study. The students will enter Oxford University in England next October.
This year's winners include Noelle Lopez from Santa Clara University, who is a majoring in philosophy, Sarah Kleinman from Stanford University working on a master's in sociology and Scott Hugo from Alamo who attends UCLA, majoring in political science and history.
And also on the list... Florida State football player Myron Rolle. The 22-year-old flew to Birmingham, Alabama yesterday to interview for the prestigious award and then hopped a plane to join his team in Maryland. They delayed the start of the game to make sure he could play. He made it by the second quarter and helped the Seminoles upset number 25 ranked Maryland.
Rhodes Scholarships were created in 1902 by the will of British philanthropist Cecil Rhodes. Winners are selected on the basis of high academic achievement, personal integrity, leadership potential and physical vigor, among other attributes.
The American students will join an international group of scholars selected from 13 other jurisdictions around the world. Approximately 80 scholars are selected each year.
The value of the Rhodes Scholarship varies depending on the field of study. The total value averages about $50,000 per year.
With the elections announced Sunday, 3,164 Americans have won Rhodes Scholarships, representing more than 300 colleges and universities.

The war-torn Middle East has become a ground for activity of a diverse range of entities linked with government, corporations and special services from around the world. Iraqi-based security company "Falcon Security" is one of them. Falcon Security operates in Iraq, in general, and especially in the Iraqi Kurdistan Region. It plays a crucial role in the security protection of Masoud Barzani, President of the Iraqi Kurdistan Region.
Falcon Security was founded by Peshraw Majid Agha in 2003. Agha has a close relations with Chancellor of the Kurdistan Region Security Council, Masrour Barzani, and Prime Minister of the Iraqi Kurdistan Region, Nechervan Barzani. The company is manned by former U.S. Army servicemen and has about 600 employers. Falcon Security is a part of Falcon Group which is involved in diverse activities from oil businesses to agriculture.
Falcon Security provides logistical support to the military forces of Iraqi Kurdistan, Peshmerga from its main base around the town of Makmur. Falcon Security's mercenaries also secure the supplies of food, ammunition and medicaments to about 3000 Kurdish fighters.
The company also provides security to Western journalists from companies as CNN and Fox News.
Falcon Security arisen in the period of the US presence in Iraq and some experts believe that it's directly linked with the Defense Intelligence Agency and supplies to the Pentagon a major part of intelligence related to the situation in Iraq.
Falcon Security is providing training and management assistance to Peshmerga in order to turn it into proper armed forces with divided military branches which strengthening the Kurd's independence from the central government. This corresponds with the US actions aimed to support the Kurds as a loyal US-backed force for the anti-ISIS ground operations in Iraq and Syria.
Thus, in case of the growing Iranian influence, the US will definitely attempt to use the Iraqi Kurds to pursue own goals in the country. The Barzani family will likely play an important role in this plan.

Wnen we received the good news this August 30th that the Ontario Ombudsman has agreed to come in and investigate serious questions around the hiring of Niagara Region's CAO Carmen D'Angelo, two regional councillors that had a great deal to do with getting us to that good moment were not available for comment when we posted our first story on this news.
"I am very pleased that the Ontario Ombudsman has accepted our request to do this investigation – at long last!" said Kelly Edgar in a statement he shared with Niagara At Large.
"Unfortunately months ago, (the Region's) Council made a mistake hoping that giving the Ombudsman power to Mr. Huberman (a lawyer from Toronto) would have worked, but as we have become aware, he didn't use the power Council gave him," said Brian Heit.
Now, this journalist and long-time region watcher wishes to leave you here with just a few words about these two regional councillors and the reason why they deserve your support in the upcoming municipal elections.
When it comes to standing up against the dark, divisive, bully boy conduct that polluted this Caslin-led term of regional council over the past four years, Kelly Edgar and Brian Heit are among a handful of those on the council who have shown the most courage to do just that.
Edgar and Heit were among only eight on the Region's council, including fellow St. Catharines regional councillor Debbie McGregor, Thorold regional councillor Henry D'Angela, Thorold Mayor Ted Luciani, Pelham Mayor Dave Augustyn, Welland regional councillor George Marshall and Lincoln regional councillor Bill Hodgson, who had the presence of mind two years ago to review the record that was already there about Carmen D'Angelo as CAO of the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority (NPCA), and vote against hiring D'Angelo for the Region's CAO job.
The screen shows the recorded vote in October of 2016 of those on Niagara Region's council who voted for and against hiring Carmen D'Angelo to the Region's CAO job. As you can see, Kelly Edgar and Brian Heit were among the brave few who voted "No" to hiring him.
For their trouble, Edgar and Heit were sued by a private consultant for allegedly circulating some information to their fellow councillors before the vote about D'Angelo and his record at the NPCA. The consultant charged that the information contained references to his firm that were defamatory. The lawsuit was eventually dropped – just as a similar suit filed by the same party against St. Catharines citizen activist Ed Smith was dismissed by an Ontario court judge with the past year.
Edgar and Heit have continued to speak out each and every time they believed the actions of Caslin's cabal were not in the best interests of the people of St. Catharines and Niagara. And they were among the all too few members of the Region's council that led the call to get Ontario's Ombudsman to conduct a truly independent investigation of the circumstances surrounding the hiring of D'Angelo and the extension of his contract by Caslin.
There are a total of 22 candidates, including Edgar and Heit, running for the six St. Catharines seats on Niagara Region's council. And due to the public upset and anger over the record of this Caslin-led regional council, it is looking like people across Niagara are going to the polls this coming October 22nd with an understandable aim to vote for sweeping change.
It is very important to remember though that there are some people now serving on the Region's council who have truly put the interests of the public first and deserve to be re-elected.
Among them are Kelly Edgar and Brian Heit, and Niagara At Large will continue to remind voters of their good efforts, and those of all too few others on that council who deserve your support in the weeks leading up to the October 22nd vote.

Thanks Doug! I'm almost blushing… But really, thank you, I very much appreciate your kind words and support!
Thank you Doug for remaining undaunted and for reminding people how Councillors Edgar and Heit took a stand for what they rightly believed was in the best interests of the people of their own constituency and the Region. Little did they know they would then experience the anxiety of a lawsuit hanging over them for months, as did Ed Smith!
Could any of us ever have imagined such vindictive retaliation against people whose principles and ethics motivated them to act as they did.
Everyone heading to the polls in October should remember what was also done to Bill Hodgson.
Three honourable men who must be remembered and appreciated. Although Bill is not seeking re-election, I hope people in St Catharines will remember Edgar and Heit when they go to the polls in October.
As much as we are all recognizing the need for "change" we should also remember the need for a balanced of integrity and ethics to maintain balance and experience to assist and support new Councillors.
Thanks for your kind words in yesterdays article. Your continued coverage of Chair Caslin and the Cabal's antics is welcomed while also providing encouragement to those of us that value democracy and respect the taxpayer.
The reporting about the politicians at the Region has been most informative and a worthwhile service to the broader community. While I could figure out some of the undesirable characters, as there actions, as reported, spoke for themselves. However, it is articles such as this that help point out the positive players. Something pointing out the obstructionists – or worse – would also help me be better informed regarding the various players.
As a St. Catharines resident, I find that having 22 candidates and 6 choices daunting. Heit and Kelly are men of great integrity and valour. Of course one should plump your vote. However there are some young bloods to consider, Mo Al-Jumaily and Haley Bateman, both of whom have been inspirational at Regional Council.
The Big Blue Signs are already out for wanabees Britton and Bellows. There is a lot of money behind those signs, I am reliably told. Same Big Blue machine that backed Caslin, Timms, Petrowski before. BIg money.


Picture Keeper Connect USB Photo Backup Drive!
There is a simple, safe and easy way to store moments and memories via a little gadget, called Picture Keeper Connect, which works with an app and requires no internet connection to back up or restore all your photos, videos or contacts.
Picture Keeper Connect is essentially a flash drive with Lightning and USB connectors and built-in software that automatically does the backing up and restoring process for you, allowing you to back up thousands of photos in a snap.
You can restore and back up to an OTG-enabled Android device or Apple device (iOS 6.0+) or computer (Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7, Vista, XP, MAC OS 10.5 and above) in one easy step.
Simply download the Connect app, hook the drive to your phone or computer and let this nifty gadget back up your data, and/or restore data into a new device.
When you launch the Picture Keeper Connect app, click "Start Back Up" and it automatically finds all your photos and videos and backs them up. Then, when you take more photos and you go back to back them up again Picture Keeper Connect is smart enough to know to start where you left off so it doesn't start backing up from the beginning.
Picture Keeper Connects' software is also smart enough to know when you are using several Picture Keeper drives. This means when one Picture Keeper fills up and you plug in a second drive, the second Picture Keeper will continue backing up where the other one left off.
You can register your email with Picture Keeper and they'll sent a monthly reminder to back up your photos every month.

Direct Observation of Localized Modes in an Open Disordered Microwave Cavity
F. Mortessagne ,	D. Laurent ,	O. Legrand ,	P. Sebbah ,	Ch. Vanneste
We present measurements of the spatial intensity distribution of localized modes in a two-dimensional open microwave cavity randomly filled with cylindrical dielectric scatterers. The robustness of these modes with respect to a modification of the boundaries of the scattering region is successfully established. From a comparison with numerically calculated modes, we can extract precise values of the localization length which are in agreement with the measured spectral widths. These results constitute unambiguous signatures of the existence of strongly localized electromagnetic modes in two-dimensional open random media.

These Are the Mega-Cities of the Future
In 2025, chances are you'll live in one of these cities. Today, chances are you haven't heard of some of them
Colin Schultz
Toronto, Canada is rated one of the most dynamic cities, and a model for our increasingly urban world. Photo: Colin Schultz
May 23, 2007 marked the first time that more human beings lived in cities than in the country. The degree of this urban—rural divide varies wildly from country to country, but the shift to cities is a pronounced one. And, it's one that's unlikely to reverse. But as they boom, not all cities will look the same.
Whether the necessarily-massive cities of the near-future become hubs of violence or meccas for free-wheeling intellectuals set on changing the world can depend on the efforts of urban planers, civil engineers, and municipal governments. Based on the work of consulting firm McKinsey & Company Foreign Policy magazine compiled a list of the 75 most economically dynamic cities—the ones set to grow and thrive in coming decades.
As you can probably guess, the list is bursting with Asian giants, such as Singapore, Beijing, Tokyo, and Taipei, but also up-and-comers like Shenzhen, the manufacturing hub home to much of the world's technology. A number of U.S. cities grace the list: Philadelphia, Miami, Chicago, Phoenix, and Atlanta—home to "the country's largest concentration of college-educated young professionals"—among others.
In addition to sometimes-bursting populations, cities also bring huge economic disparities and densely-packed pockets of crime. On the other hand, urban centers often attract eager, intelligent entrepreneurs looking for their break. As Nassim Nicholas Taleb describes in his book The Black Swan, the same high-density living that can bring about a harried and potentially dangerous existence also "increase the odds of serendipitous encounters."

Cool Finds Geography


Western Cape premier Helen Zille has signed proclamations for the establishment of a new schools' evaluation authority and its enabling regulations, breathing life into a key aspect of the province's controversial new education reforms.
SA's biggest teacher union, the SA Democratic Teachers Union (Sadtu), has launched a legal challenge against the Western Cape Provincial School Education Act, which was signed into law in November 2018.
Zille's proclamations, signed on April 11, bring into effect the act's provisions for the establishment of the Western Cape Schools Evaluation Authority and the regulations that detail schools' appointment process of key staff, their governance structure, and operations.
In addition to the establishment of the evaluation authority, the act makes provision for closer collaboration with the private sector, paves the way for the creation of "intervention facilities" for learners who might otherwise be expelled, and enables classroom observation. It also allows schools to apply for permission to provide alcohol for adult events on school premises after hours.


With the ever increasing need for speed and the 24 hour operation of today's shipping, the 80Nm system gives outstanding performance.
To ensure a good swept window at 60 knots, the wiper arm design needs to ensure a good blade contact; hence the development of this extra heavy duty model.
Supplied as a fixed arc model for 24 volt DC. (Where a higher on-board voltage is used, we can offer a number of solutions).
The standard motor has two speeds and self parking facility.
Insulated earth return and EMC filter are standard.
We can provide a CAD supported quotation for a system that will give optimum swept clear viewing area, including fresh water spray on traveling arms and controllers to allow either individual or grouped operation.
For more information and detailed Wiper specifications plus Controller options please click on the Brochure Download button.
Designed for the very largest ship windows, the 100Nm gives near silent continual performance.


January 17, 2011 January 17, 2011 Dan O.
I'm still contemplating who's going to be my best man.
In this bromance, the cinematic equivalent of a rom-com buddy flick, Paul Rudd plays a recently engaged guy who's got the bride-to-be of his dreams but lacks an all-important significant other when it comes to their pending nuptials: a best man. On a determined hunt for a stranger who will stand up for him, he eventually meets a candidate (Jason Segel) with wedding-party potential. Jaime Pressly, Rashida Jones and Jon Favreau co-star.
So this is probably one of the most simple, and easy to follow premises of all-time. Basically go into this expecting to laugh, and you will.
The comedy is what makes this film very enjoyable. There's a lot of good jokes here, even some one-liners that you will be quoting with your buddies for a pretty long time after your done watching this. I probably smiled, and or chuckled more, than I actually laughed, but there are a couple of belly-laughs here, you just got to wait awhile for them to come.
For me the dramatic aspect of this film didn't really work, but I mean it does touch on some good aspects of friendship, but it doesn't fit so well with the comedy. I also wished there was more insight onto these characters and how their feelings about everything, but I guess I'm just expecting too much in that case.
Most of the laughs come from these two hilarious performances from these amazing comedians. Paul Rudd is terrific as the nerdy, awkward dude, that says certain stuff, and has no idea why he did or said that certain thing. It's funny to see Rudd play this character and do it so well, cause we're used to seeing him do this cool, funny, and charming dude, but here he's basically playing a geek, but still stays charming. Jason Segel is perfect as the off-beat slacker, Sydney Fife, and he just is a perfect match cause he matches the dude-like qualities of Sydney, and still keeps it all charming. Their chemistry does feel genuine, and carries a lot of the scenes that could have came out as pretty dull. Their perfect comedic timing together, and how they just play off each other works, and really does feel like an actual friendship. The supporting cast is also good with plenty of big names like Rashida Jones, Jaime Pressly, Jon Faverau, J.K. Simmons, Andy Samberg, and of course everybody's favorite Hulk, Lou Ferrigno.
Consensus: With a simple premise, the cast uplifts this film with its perfect comedic performances, and the fact that it's just a great time to watch and have fun.
Also gave it a 7. Nice movie and the "Slapping tha bass!" had me in stitches.
Hahah slapping tha bass is perfect.
This is a 10 for me. Absolutely hilarious with a really clever and subtle social commentary.
Damn my man! You really did like it then!
I thought this was more amusing than funny. Not a bad bromance movie but it felt like a rehashed Judd Apatow film. 6.5 or 7 would be the score I give to this too.
Yeah, it's not awesome, it's basically good for the time it has.
Hahah it really should be, but they all make it better.
dude, i swear we're watching alot of the same movies around the same time…lol i jst watched this again last night. did a review a few months back.
it was ok. had its moments, but seemed, to me, like it was trying to be more drama and less comedy in the parts that didn't have Jason Segel.
Thanks man, I see what your saying!
This is one of those goes-down-easy, watchable, and undemanding comedies that I can enjoy even if I come in halfway through. Segel and Rudd get along well enough and there's plenty of wackiness and occasional raunch to keep my interest, though the real winner of I Love You, Man is definitely John Hamburg. It's a minor film for its stars, but a big film for the somewhat fresh Hamburg; hopefully it helps him go places in the future.
It's good, funny stuff that isn't amazing, but it's just alright. Good stuff!

Public Safety Trends 2022: Emergency Responders Need Better Resources
Julia Tasiopoulos 911 Response, Critical Communication, Incident Collaboration, Mass Notification, Rave Alert, Safety & Protection, Severe Weather Emergencies, State & Local
Public health and safety needs are constantly changing, along with the best ways to tackle them. While emergency personnel are expected to keep up with changes in response efforts, funding and resources are not doing the same, leading to a gap between the necessary community services and what a municipality can reasonably provide.
Emergency responders — firefighters, EMTs, police officers, emergency managers, security professionals, and 9-1-1 dispatchers — are experiencing new challenges and workloads and require better resources to handle them.
Rave Mobile Safety's 2022 Public Safety Trends Survey
We fielded a national survey that included roughly 300 emergency responders to better understand the challenges they face. We discovered the major challenges causing significant impact on public safety through the last 18 months, the key barriers to information sharing, challenges in communication, and changes needed to improve public safety operations for all.
The survey was conducted by an independent research firm, Researchscape, between December 2021 and January 2022.
We were presented with many challenges in terms of communication efforts, but the overall theme of the survey was this — public safety roles are becoming more difficult
61% of respondents stated that their jobs had become significantly harder, either because of COVID-19 (83% of respondents reported this to be the largest issue), hiring and staffing (72% of respondents reported this to be the largest issue) or because of the public's perception of first responders/law enforcement (61% of respondents reported this to be the largest issue).
Communication Efforts Need to Improve
Cross-agency collaboration efforts have increased over time, but respondents mentioned that their agency's ability to collaborate quickly and effectively needs to improve.
Communication is the single most important aspect of an emergency response plan. Real-time collaboration efforts speed up response times for emergency personnel and help them head into situations with the most accurate information. With increased situational awareness, firefighters, EMTs, police officers, emergency managers, security professionals, and 9-1-1 dispatchers can better manage response efforts and action plans.
However, a lack of access to technology impacts how well emergency responders can perform their jobs. Without the appropriate funding in technology and resources to increase collaboration during emergency situations, first responders will continue to experience avoidable challenges in their roles.
Communicating With At-Risk Populations
Respondents were fairly confident in their organization's ability to identify and communicate with at-risk populations in their community. These populations include the elderly, those with reported mental health challenges as well as those who rely on medical equipment powered by electricity.
However, nearly 40% of respondents said they are only somewhat confident and 8% said that they are not confident in their organization's ability to identify and communicate with at-risk community members.
This highlights the ongoing need for improvement in the way our communities respond to emergencies, along with their plans to protect the most vulnerable.
Barriers to Information Sharing
The following are the most reported barriers to information sharing and collaboration between organizations and first responders.
44% answered lack of technology to enable real-time collaboration
41% answered lack of funding and resources
36% answered an unwillingness from departments/agencies
35% answered security protocols
Without the proper tools, first responders will continue to face the challenges of sharing data during emergencies. Unwillingness from departments and agencies to share information and collaborate shows the need to shift mindsets.
All of the concerns listed above show that barriers to information sharing are preventable with the right communications software, showing a lack of resources may not be the root issue.
Public safety requires the involvement of all key stakeholders, not just first responders. Public safety leaders must be open to giving and receiving mutual aid, as well as be open to recognizing the benefits of better importation sharing. When technology is prioritized correctly, and the necessary funds and resources are allocated, it is much easier to protect communities from all kinds of emergencies.
Mental Health Emergency Response
84% of those surveyed mentioned that mental health history would be extremely useful when responding to emergencies, but 41% also said that collaboration with mental health professionals is not easy. An additional 48% of respondents noted that they do not feel confident in their ability to communicate with at-risk populations due to a lack of resources, not their willingness to do so.
Rave CEO Todd Piett says of modern mental health emergency response, "Those tasked with the safety of our communities face an uphill climb in their roles today…As they navigate an increasing number of challenges, so many of which are outside of their control, it's critical public safety leaders have the tools and technology at their disposal to improve information sharing and collaboration so agencies can break down silos to communication."
Communication is important in protecting the safety of the individuals and communities involved in mental health crises. State and local governments must be prepared to handle such situations.
From the COVID-19 pandemic to social unrest, reports of depression, anxiety and other mental illnesses have increased by 50% according to some studies. Approximately 10% of police calls involve mental health concerns and that number continues to rise, so first responders must be prepared to take action at a moment's notice.
All of this means there is a large need in communities across America for resources that help key stakeholders at all levels quickly and safely respond to mental and behavioral health emergencies.
How Rave Mobile Safety is Finding a Solution
Rave Mobile Safety is determined to help emergency responders across the nation improve these issues.
Through an easy-to-use, easy-to-implement critical communication and collaboration platform, all emergency departments at both the state and local levels are better equipped to handle emergencies of all types. Through two-way, confidential texting, it is easier than ever to connect to 9-1-1 operators, inform first responders of scenario specifics, and enlist mental health professionals for next steps.
Safety is a collaborative responsibility, and to have successful outcomes, emergency personnel must have access to vital resources such as a communications system.

Oh Those Pesty Death Panels
The Retard in Chief trying to dispell the rumors of death panels:
Well, I think that there is going to have to be a conversation that is guided by doctors, scientists, ethicists. And then there is going to have to be a very difficult democratic conversation that takes place. It is very difficult to imagine the country making those decisions just through the normal political channels. And that's part of why you have to have some independent group that can give you guidance. It's not determinative, but I think has to be able to give you some guidance. And that's part of what I suspect you'll see emerging out of the various health care conversations that are taking place on the Hill right now
Via James Tarato, Best of the Web,
Note while Obama does not calll these boards "death panels" , according to Obama it is the last months of life where disportionate share of medical expences accured and Obama's boards are tasked with saving money. You figure it out.
Sarah's Twitter response:
Yesterday President Obama responded to my statement that Democratic health care proposals would lead to rationed care; that the sick, the elderly, and the disabled would suffer the most under such rationing; and that under such a system these "unproductive" members of society could face the prospect of government bureaucrats determining whether they deserve health care.
The President made light of these concerns. He said:
"Let me just be specific about some things that I've been hearing lately that we just need to dispose of here. The rumor that's been circulating a lot lately is this idea that somehow the House of Representatives voted for death panels that will basically pull the plug on grandma because we've decided that we don't, it's too expensive to let her live anymore….It turns out that I guess this arose out of a provision in one of the House bills that allowed Medicare to reimburse people for consultations about end-of-life care, setting up living wills, the availability of hospice, etc. So the intention of the members of Congress was to give people more information so that they could handle issues of end-of-life care when they're ready on their own terms. It wasn't forcing anybody to do anything." [1]
The provision that President Obama refers to is Section 1233 of HR 3200, entitled "Advance Care Planning Consultation." [2] With all due respect, it's misleading for the President to describe this section as an entirely voluntary provision that simply increases the information offered to Medicare recipients. The issue is the context in which that information is provided and the coercive effect these consultations will have in that context.
Section 1233 authorizes advanced care planning consultations for senior citizens on Medicare every five years, and more often "if there is a significant change in the health condition of the individual … or upon admission to a skilled nursing facility, a long-term care facility… or a hospice program." [3] During those consultations, practitioners must explain "the continuum of end-of-life services and supports available, including palliative care and hospice," and the government benefits available to pay for such services. [4]
Now put this in context. These consultations are authorized whenever a Medicare recipient's health changes significantly or when they enter a nursing home, and they are part of a bill whose stated purpose is "to reduce the growth in health care spending." [5] Is it any wonder that senior citizens might view such consultations as attempts to convince them to help reduce health care costs by accepting minimal end-of-life care? As Charles Lane notes in the Washington Post, Section 1233 "addresses compassionate goals in disconcerting proximity to fiscal ones…. If it's all about obviating suffering, emotional or physical, what's it doing in a measure to "bend the curve" on health-care costs?" [6]
As Lane also points out:
Though not mandatory, as some on the right have claimed, the consultations envisioned in Section 1233 aren't quite "purely voluntary," as Rep. Sander M. Levin (D-Mich.) asserts. To me, "purely voluntary" means "not unless the patient requests one." Section 1233, however, lets doctors initiate the chat and gives them an incentive — money — to do so. Indeed, that's an incentive to insist.[7]
Patients may refuse without penalty, but many will bow to white-coated authority. Once they're in the meeting, the bill does permit "formulation" of a plug-pulling order right then and there. So when Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.) denies that Section 1233 would "place senior citizens in situations where they feel pressured to sign end-of-life directives that they would not otherwise sign," I don't think he's being realistic.
Even columnist Eugene Robinson, a self-described "true believer" who "will almost certainly support" "whatever reform package finally emerges", agrees that "If the government says it has to control health-care costs and then offers to pay doctors to give advice about hospice care, citizens are not delusional to conclude that the goal is to reduce end-of-life spending." [8]
So are these usually friendly pundits wrong? Is this all just a "rumor" to be "disposed of", as President Obama says? Not according to Democratic New York State Senator Ruben Diaz, Chairman of the New York State Senate Aging Committee, who writes:
Section 1233 of House Resolution 3200 puts our senior citizens on a slippery slope and may diminish respect for the inherent dignity of each of their lives…. It is egregious to consider that any senior citizen … should be placed in a situation where he or she would feel pressured to save the government money by dying a little sooner than he or she otherwise would, be required to be counseled about the supposed benefits of killing oneself, or be encouraged to sign any end of life directives that they would not otherwise sign. [9]
Of course, it's not just this one provision that presents a problem. My original comments concerned statements made by Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, a health policy advisor to President Obama and the brother of the President's chief of staff. Dr. Emanuel has written that some medical services should not be guaranteed to those "who are irreversibly prevented from being or becoming participating citizens….An obvious example is not guaranteeing health services to patients with dementia." [10] Dr. Emanuel has also advocated basing medical decisions on a system which "produces a priority curve on which individuals aged between roughly 15 and 40 years get the most chance, whereas the youngest and oldest people get chances that are attenuated." [11]
President Obama can try to gloss over the effects of government authorized end-of-life consultations, but the views of one of his top health care advisors are clear enough. It's all just more evidence that the Democratic legislative proposals will lead to health care rationing, and more evidence that the top-down plans of government bureaucrats will never result in real health care reform.
I wonder if Obama is even aware or, much less read, Section 1233? I think not. Maybe Dr. Emanuel should explain it to the one?

Biographical Sketch of Jane Bruce Guignard
written by Seth Barbee and Dalva Amer
Biographical Sketch of Jane Bruce Guignard, written by Seth Barbee and Dalva Amer. Included in Biographical Database of NAWSA Suffragists, 1890-1920, .
Biographical Database of NAWSA Suffragists, 1890–1920
Biography of Dr. Jane Bruce Guignard, 1876-1963
By Seth Barbee and Dalva Amer, students of Maggy Carmack, Presbyterian College, Clinton, South Carolina.
Member, South Carolina Equal Suffrage League; A founder and first Chairman, League of Women Voters of South Carolina.
Born October 30, 1876, in Aiken, South Carolina, Dr. Jane Bruce Guignard worked to better the lives of all South Carolinians, women and children particularly. Guignard was the daughter of planter and surveyor John Gabriel Guignard and Jane Bruce Salley Guignard. She was named for her mother, a planter's wife whom the younger Jane remembers caring for the family and the family's servants. Like her mother, Jane Guignard would spend her professional career caring of others, advocating for the health and well-being of her community from the elite among Columbia society to her poorest neighbors. Dr. Jane B. Guignard used her medical training to educate and be an advocate for the health and safety of women and children.
Guignard initially trained as a teacher. The family moved to the Columbia area in 1895 where Guignard would attend the Presbyterian College for Women. After that, she went on to Peabody Teachers College at Vanderbilt in Nashville, Tennessee graduating in 1896. However, a horse and carriage accident which took the life of her mother and left Jane severely injured changed the course of her life and career.
After Jane's recovery and with the financial support of her family, she moved to Philadelphia in 1900 to attend the Women's Medical College. Upon graduating in 1904, Guignard returned to Columbia to become one of the city's first female doctors. Her practice focused on obstetrics and pediatrics.
While Dr. Jane Bruce Guignard's career focused on advocating for women and children's' health care, this advocacy spilled over into advocating for greater rights for women in general. She was one of the leaders of the suffrage movement in her state. The History of Woman Suffrage stated that in 1906 there was "a small group of suffragists in Columbia with Dr. Jane Bruce Guignard president." She remained active in the South Carolina Equal Suffrage League which was unsuccessful both in its effort to gain suffrage through state action and to persuade the state to ratify the Nineteenth Amendment. Nonetheless, when enfranchised by the federal amendment, she and other suffrage leaders founded the League of Women Voters of South Carolina with Dr. Guignard as its first chairman. Along with other former suffragists who were active in the LWV, she worked hard to get women to register and use their votes intelligently and to join the League. Eulalie Salley recalled their efforts, traveling the state over sandy roads by horse and buggy or in "a broken old Ford," promoting organization and registration.
In 1920 Guignard opened her own small nursing home which included a maternity hospital. However, by 1930 this section had closed and Guignard worked with Columbia Hospital to provide obstetric care. As part of her effort to bring better women's health care to the community, Guignard established a training program for black midwives.
It is estimated that Guignard delivered over one thousand babies in Richland County over the course of her fifty-year medical career. Delivering babies in the poorer sections of Columbia, Guignard was reportedly shocked by the unsanitary living conditions. This led her to become director of the Columbia branch of the Social Hygiene Council. This organization was originally organized by the Federation of Women's Clubs for the purpose of developing social-hygiene educational programming and addressing the problem of venereal disease control. This work was done in conjunction with the South Carolina League of Women Voters.
Working through the League and the Federation of Women's Clubs, Guignard pushed for greater community services for women as well as the right of women to have a great voice within their communities. Although Guignard passed away in 1963, her legacy in South Carolina lives on through the Still Hopes retirement community which sits on the Guignard family's former plantation in Columbia.

Date revealed for reopening of Debenhams in Preston
Chorley vegan restaurant allowed to extend its opening hours - but only for a year to start with
Next warns over 'significant' coronavirus hit, but will keep stores open
Retail chain Next, which has stories across the North West, has warned it is preparing for a "significant" trading downturn amid the coronavirus pandemic as it braces for a potential £1 billion in lost sales.
By Colin Ainscough

The group said the outbreak could see full-year sales plunge by 25% in a worst case scenario and completely decimate sales over some weeks, but assured the firm could "comfortably sustain" the hit.
Next boss Lord Simon Wolfson told the PA news agency the group would keep its 498 stores open, unless the Government advises widespread shop closures.
He said: "As long as the Government feels it is appropriate to keep shops open, we should keep the service available to customers."
Next Outlet in Fleetwood
In the event of a prolonged closure period and no government assistance, Next cautioned it may be forced to take "radical" action on wages to help cut costs - including redundancies and forcing staff to take time off.
But the group - which employs around 30,000 people - hopes it can offset a severe trading hit by not requiring staff to work more than their contracted hours and, in the short term, not replacing leavers.
Its recent figures showed the toll taken as Britain has begun to go into lockdown, with high street sales falling by as much as 46% since Sunday.
Sales have declined markedly each week since mid February, with total sales including online down 8.8% last week and 30% so far this week.
Lord Wolfson said online sales are likely to fare better than stores due to social distancing measures, but gave a bleak outlook for trading in the coming months, cautioning that "people do not buy a new outfit to stay at home".
The comments came as Next reported a better-than-expected 0.8% rise in pre-tax profits to £728.5 million for the year to January as overall full-price brand sales lifted 4%.
Lord Woflson said: "When the pandemic first appeared in China, we assumed that the threat was to our supply chain.
"It is now very clear that the risk to demand is by far the greatest challenge we face and we need to prepare for a significant downturn in sales for the duration of the pandemic."
Next cautioned that sales could even fall by 100% for as long as a month in its worst case scenario, before gradually improving as the outbreak passes - leaving overall sales 53% lower over the affected period.
But the group said this is seen as an "overly pessimistic" sales scenario and is assuming a 20% fall in annual sales at this stage.
