Oosafe® Filters are an inline filters used in between CO2 incubators and gas sources to purify incoming CO2, N2 and premixed gas against Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), Chemically Active Compounds (CACs), bacteria, odor, dust and more.
Unmatched VOC Removing Capacity: Micro Carbon Technology provides bigger activated carbon surface area and uniform gas flow through filter, resulted in extremely high amount of VOC purifying capacity for longer time period.
Better Gas Quality, Better Embryo Development: Purified CO2 N2 and premixed gas results in better emryo development because embryos have no immune system.
VOCs and Bacteria: As a result of the composition of pure activated carbon and HEPA filter, beside long term VOC removing capacity it also trap bacteria for 3 months.
High Quality: Manufactured and tested in Clean Room Envinroment according to cGMP under strict rules for IVF use.
Pure Materials for IVF use: Capsule and inside materials are safe to use in IVF laboratories.
Approved by Scientists: Oosafe® Filter has been used for many years in well-known IVF clinics all over the world as the gas purification tool.
No Chemicals Inside: No chemicals used inside, chemicals may have negative effect on embryo development.
Quality Control: Each filter is tested in Clean Room Environment with Automated Quality Testing Device which eliminated human errors.
Packing: Each filter is individually packed and served as four pieces in a sealed cardboard box including Certificate of Conformity and Instructions for Use.
Leak-free connection set for installation of Oosafe® and Oosafe® ST filters to the benchtop incubators using metal gas pipes, i.e Cook MINC Incubator.

Democrats Split On Gensler's Crypto Approach Post-FTX
House Democrats disagree as to whether SEC Chair Gary Gensler has the right priorities on digital assets.
Kabir V.
12:38 22nd Dec, 2022
As Congress weighs the FTX collapse, Democrats appear split on how much more the Securities and Exchange Commission and its chair, Gary Gensler, could have done to stave off what the agency now calls "massive, years-long fraud."
The scandal has exposed an already growing intra-Democratic split over the agency's approach to digital assets. While progressives and crypto-skeptic Democrats continue to back Gensler in his stance that almost all crypto firms operate outside of existing law, some Democrats have begun to publicly question the agency's priorities.
The split could complicate legislation on digital assets, as well as increase pressure on Gensler, who already faces scrutiny on a broad array of issues from Republicans, who will hold a majority in the House of Representatives in the next Congress.
"SEC Chairman Gensler has repeatedly claimed that most cryptocurrencies are covered by existing securities laws. Despite that, the SEC has not proposed a single rule to create guardrails for digital assets," said Rep. Josh Gottheimer, D-N.J., during last week's House Financial Services Committee hearing on FTX. "They failed to do their job, and they failed to protect consumers."
Rep. Ritchie Torres, D-N.Y., also criticized Gensler to reporters after the hearing.
"Mr. Gensler's been in office for two years and he has not enacted a single rule that would bring greater transparency or accountability to the crypto sector," Torres said. "I've heard him express skepticism, but he's not paid to be a commentator on crypto; he's paid to be a regulator on crypto."
Torres, who accepted approximately $14,500 in campaign donations from Sam Bankman-Fried and his brother in this election cycle, wrote a letter criticizing the agency's approach on Dec. 6 in which he also asked for the Government Accountability Office to review of the SEC's approach to digital assets.
"There should be an independent review of whether the SEC did thoroughly investigate FTX," continued Torres. "It may be the case that the SEC did everything it could, so there's nothing to fear from an independent review, the GAO is apolitical and it would certainly benefit us as legislators as we craft policies in relation to crypto."
The Bronx Democrat added that he planned to return his FTX-tied donations.
Another young Outer-Borough Democrat expressed more confidence in the SEC.
"I believe that the jurisdiction does belong with the SEC," Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., told the press after last week's hearing. "And I believe that this shift or push to the CFTC should really be explored and examined, particularly in context with Bankman-Fried's activities."
Ocasio-Cortez is one of the most visible progressives in Congress. Her comments alluded to a push to give more power over crypto exchanges to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, most conspicuously in an FTX-backed bill drafted in the Senate Agriculture Committee.
Senate Banking Committee Chair Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, also emphasized that he was working hand-in-glove with Gensler on matters relating to digital assets.
"I've been working some with [CFTC Chair Rostin Behnam], but especially with the SEC's Gensler," said Brown.
The other side of the aisle
Republicans want to hear from Gensler on the topic, among other policy criticisms they've levied at the SEC chair.
"I would love to have seen Gary Gensler here. I think that needs to be another component of this discussion both on FTX and what any future regulation will look like. What the involvement was or wasn't," said Rep. Bill Huizenga, R-Mich., who will likely chair the House subcommittee most directly involved in SEC policy.
Financial Services Committee Republicans also plan to introduce their own legislation establishing definitions that will determine what digital asset does, or does not, fall under the SEC's regulatory realm.
"We're going to have to step in and legislate on what is a commodity and what is a security," Rep. Patrick McHenry, R-N.C., the incoming committee chair for next Congress.

Will the Great North Run finish in South Shields this year?
With adaptations made to the event in line to social distancing measures last year, many runners and local residents across the North East are hoping that the half-marathon will return to its traditional route in 2022.

Due to the global Coronavirus pandemic the renowned North East sporting event that is the annual Great North Run was forced to be completely cancelled in a year that would have officially marked its 40th anniversary.
The run returned after a sleep year in 2021, but adaptations were made to the half-marathon which saw it re-routed to protect participates and minimise transportation needs - all in all ensuring that the event could once again run but in a Covid -secure manner, maintaining proper social distancing.
And now the ballot has opened for 2021's event the question is: will the September run return to its traditional route finishing in South Shields again.
Go here for more what's on updates, news and reviews from around the North East
The Founder of the Great North Run, Sir Brendan Foster, announced on Monday that the half-marathon will return to its traditional route, much to the delight of participants, residents and businesses in the local area - who all thrive from the economy boosting event on an annual basis.
Speaking to Chronicle Live at the official ballot opening Brendan said: "I'm delighted to be here on the seafront of South Shields, where we'll be back in September for the Great North Run.
"The 2022 Great North Run is returning to its finishing home which is on the seafront at South Shields."
He added: "In 2019 we were here, 2020 the event was cancelled because of the pandemic, last year we had to re-organise it in a different way so it started in Newcastle and finished in Newcastle because we weren't allowed to stretch the whole thing because of social distancing.
"But hopefully, as the pandemic turns to an end-demic, we'll be able to organise the event in its normal fashion, bringing people together because that's what the Great North Run is all about.
"We're delighted to be coming back this year to do it all again for the 40th time finishing in South Shields.
"The 41st Great North Run will finish once again in South Shields."
Brendan was also joined by Leader of South Tyneside Council, Cllr Tracey Dixon, at Colman's Seafood Temple to announce the opening of the ballot - who was also as excited to announce the return of the traditional running route.
Speaking to Chronicle Live, she added: "We're really delighted to be welcoming back the finish in South Shields of the Great North Run.

"Obviously, last year we were really disappointed but we understand the reasons that the decisions were made by the Great North Company - we've been working really closely with everybody there and it's so important that we have the finish here.
"Residents and businesses last year were really disappointed, especially the businesses that struggled due to the pandemic, but this year bringing it back to South Shields will boost the economy, it'll be really exciting for the businesses, and it will give the spectators and the runners the opportunity to see what South Shields and South Tyneside is really about.
"And it gives our residents who are so, so friendly the opportunity to cheer on the runners at the end.
"We're so excited for it coming back in September."
The ballot for the 2022 Great North Run is now open and will close at 9pm on Sunday 20 February.
The event itself will take place on Sunday 11 September, 2022, and around 57,000 participants are expected to run in the well-received spectacle which also attracts crowds of supporters and a TV viewing audience from around the world.

Originally from Brooklyn, NY, and now residing in the Atlanta, GA area, I'm retired from a 43+ year career as a telecommunications engineer. I've been a woodworker for most of my life. After building furniture for many years, I started woodturning in 2000. As it is with most woodworkers who attempt woodturning, I stopped building furniture and now exclusively turn wood. Most of the wood I turn is from the Atlanta area. This wood generally comes from trees downed in storms or from tree removals and would otherwise be headed to landfills or chippers. I also like to turn exotic woods and burls. No two pieces of wood are alike and it's not until I start turning a piece when the wood reveals its hidden beauty. I turn many types of forms and objects including bowls, platters, hollow vesselss, goblets, boxes, pepper mills, wine bottle stoppers, pens, etc., but my main focus is on hollow forms. I also like to embellish my turnings by piercing, burning, coloring, carving, and texturing. For the last several years, I've been focused exclusively on the "basket illusion", where a turned piece attempts to resemble woven basketry. I enjoy demonstrating at woodturning clubs and teaching. All in all, I'm just having fun. I work in my studio located in the basement of my home in Dunwoody, GA. I'm an active member of the Georgia Association of Woodturners, Atlanta Woodturners Guild, and the American Association of Woodturners.


Yesterday Kevin M., Nick and I went to Traverse City where Nick had an eye appointment. Kevin was able to get some driving time in and Nick got a good report from the Doctor. We ran a few errands while we were there too. After supper, Kevin M., Taylor, Luke, Jacob and I went to town for our weekly shopping. As we were driving home the sun was beginning to set. We drive by a wildlife viewing area on our way to and from town. It's quite an interesting area. We've lived here for four years and yesterday was the first time we took a little time to check out this area.


I found out about this one much by accident, after looking for another movie by the same name. But today we're talking about Poe. Yes, as in Edgar Allen himself. Dianne Wiest plays one of the film's terror hotties, and the whole thing is about Edgar Allen Poe. It's a semi-biography, featuring five of the legendary horror writer's short stories.
I remember how well they did the quasi-biographical version of his life in the Masters of Horror short The Black Cat, so I'll be honest with you, I'm definitely looking forward to this one. There's something about horror writer biographies that can be really interesting–just saw a great one not too long ago about H.P. Lovecraft. Bet you didn't know the guy was a closet racist and raging xenophobe.
Of course, the real fun here is figuring out just what we'll get to see about Poe's life that we didn't know previously. We'll have a long wait, though–Poe is slated for release in 2011.

Cancer Survivors Are Grieving Too
My good friend, Hanssie, writes about the very painful divorce that she went through on her website. I've always enjoyed reading her thoughts, as she writes about her divorce in almost the same exact ways that I've written about my cancer experience. It's comforting in a way to know just how similarly we can experience and process traumatic events in our lives. I've really found myself in some of my friend's writing despite such different situations, and being at opposite ends of the country from one another, and never having actually met in person yet at that point, and being different genders. What does that tell you? It doesn't really matter what traumatic life experiences we've had, as we're all human inside, process things in all of the same very human ways, and that we're never alone. To struggle is human.
One day I was reading my friend's website, and my jaw hit the floor when I read a post about grief. It was the first time I'd ever seen a "grief chart." I had no idea there even was such a thing, but I could easily identify myself at every single step of this big curve as a cancer survivor. I had been writing and sharing in my cancer journey for a few years at this point, and it had never occurred to me even once that this entire process and all that I was going through, was all really one massive grief curve.
Mind blown.
It's pretty obvious and intuitive that when you experience something such as a divorce, that you're grieving the loss of your marriage, and someone you had loved. Similarly, if you've lost someone that you love to cancer, or a disease or some tragedy, no one needs question if a grieving process is taking place or not. Duh. When it comes to cancer survivors though, it's completely counterintuitive, and nobody really seems to understand, that cancer survivors are grieving too.
Everybody seems to think that cancer survivors are just supposed to be happy. Our doctors are ecstatic when they can actually cure someone, because plenty of cancers aren't curable. They think we're just supposed to go on with our lives and be over the moon, because we beat cancer. Our families and friends tend to think the same. Yes, they'd been through a little something, but emerged victorious and ought to be feeling like a million bucks. I'm telling you, it ain't like that. So what are we grieving?
Cancer Survivors Are Grieving The Loss of Their Lives As They Once Knew It
Nobody gets married thinking they're going to get divorced, and so a divorcee is grieving the loss of their marriage, the loss of someone they had loved, and are now facing the entirely new challenges of single life, and single parenting or co-parenting, all of which had been previously unimaginable. I know a few mothers, fathers, and wives who have lost someone that they've loved to cancer, and are now facing the challenges of a life that they couldn't possibly have imagined either, while missing their loved one every single day. All of these are naturally understood, but cancer survivors are grieving in much the same way. We too are grieving a "loss" - a loss of our lives as we once knew them - and are facing new lives as cancer survivors that we couldn't possibly have imagined, either.

We were invincible and nothing could possibly happen to us, until something did, and now we know just how vulnerable we all are. We were in the best shape of our lives, and then cancer beat us down to nothing, and we have to start all over again. We thought we had control over everything, only to realize we don't, and now we feel so powerless. We were worry free, but now every cough brings the worry that our cancer has returned, and that there won't be a cure the next time. We're overwhelmed and afraid. It's all too much to handle, and we fall into depressions for weeks or even months at a time, when previously we had always been upbeat about everything. We find ourselves sitting in a corner one day, in tears and scared out of our minds, because our eleventieth follow-up scan is the next day, and we're petrified that "this is the one" where they're going to find something. We worry that our cancers have returned, that we've just lived our last good day (again), and that we're not going to be so "lucky" this time. We feel so alone as all of our friends are continuing on with their lives like business as usual, while we're perpetually fearing death and stuck dealing with all of this crap.
This is not the life we had expected for ourselves, facing cancer and all of this misery - and much like the divorcee, we couldn't possibly have imagined the lives we're having to live now if we had tried. The divorcee, the widower or someone that's lost someone, and the cancer survivor, all have something in common - the loss of their lives as they once knew it, and the completely unforeseen challenges of an entirely new life that they couldn't possibly have foreseen nor imagined. We all grieve. It's all the same process of loss and loss adjustment, just about different things.
How Do Cancer Survivors Grieve?
I know some people in their 60's who have recently been diagnosed with various cancers, and many of them are in shock and disbelief, thinking they're too young for this. How do you think I felt at 33? That's right, nobody ever thinks they're going to get cancer, even those right at the median age for the diagnosis of many cancers. When I was diagnosed with cancer, I felt everything on the left half of that grief curve all at once. I was in shock, I was in denial, I was angry, and I cried for days. I was terrified out of my mind and thought for sure that I was going to die, and was in complete disbelief about everything. How could this be happening to me? I'm only 33! What about my children? We had just brought them into the world, and here I was on my way out already? Searchings, Disorganization, and Panic. I had just been laid off from my previous job in the months before I was diagnosed with cancer, so I can tell you a few things about loneliness and isolation, too. That was like being kicked when you were down.
Everybody is a little different, but during my cancer fight I went entirely numb. I shut down emotionally and just put a brave face on for my family and my children. If daddy looked like he was going to kick this cancer's ass, my family wouldn't worry as much. I didn't want them to. My children were so young and didn't know anything about cancer, but they understood that daddy's back went out once in awhile. We just told them that daddy had spiders and ladybugs in his back, and had to get some really nasty medicine for a few months to kill them all, and then I'd feel better. We eventually told them that I had cancer, and that I write this website to help other people find their way through this really rotten grief curve that nobody seems to think cancer survivors should be experiencing. Maybe they will after this.
The actual grieving process can easily look much more like the one on the right than the left. This is not necessarily a linear process at all, but you get the idea.
After cancer, I was back to life, got a new job and was back to work, back to kicking ass again, and I was energized and motivated. I loved my new job, loved my new colleagues, and loved having money in the bank again. Know what was awesome? Just having money to go out to lunch with friends, which was a helluva lot better than sweating every penny because I was out of work for six months due to a layoff and fighting cancer at the same time. We're one of the few people that actually kept a six month buffer of living expenses in the bank, because I had been worried about losing my previous job. That did happen, but who would have ever thought we'd need every bit of that to fight cancer, too.
For my first year and a half after cancer, I thought I was doing great, but still didn't have even the slightest clue what had hit me, nor what I had been through, but it all started catching up to me. Monthly scans were starting to get the better of me, and when my body acted up I worried, but nothing makes cancer more real than when friends you had made started dying of theirs. It's almost like my subconscious mind really did want to believe that my cancer was just a really rotten case of the flu, but watching friends die suddenly made it all real. This is cancer, not the flu. People die of this, and families are torn apart by this, and watching this happen to people I cared about is when the emotional floodgates finally opened on me.
I nearly lost my mind. In fact, I did lose my mind for awhile. I always had this rock solid confidence about me, but now I didn't know up from down, and spent every waking moment of 2013, two years after my cancer diagnosis, trying to stay one step ahead of PTSD. I fell into a terrible depression, I withdrew from friends, and I withdrew from my colleagues, and to this day have never really re-engaged fully. I know why, but that's a story for another day, having to do with complex trauma issues. About the only people I could be around at all were my wife and my two children, and my world became very small for a while. I thought I had everything figured out, but here I was adrift like a kite in a thunderstorm, two years after my cancer fight.
"Re-Entry Troubles" to the max.
Finding My Way Up

It took me a year, but eventually I figured life out and wrote the above essay, not for others but for myself. When one finally emerges from a long struggle, there's this moment of clarity where you have an intimate understanding of all that went right and why, and all that went wrong and why, and how you got through it all. This is the very first essay about cancer that I ever wrote, and I wrote it for myself because I wanted to remember, and because I never wanted to hurt like this again in my life. God forbid if that day ever came, I wanted to be able to read my own writing, so that I'd know what to do if I had forgotten. I just couldn't hurt like that again. Ever.
This essay to this day has been shared and read thousands of times on social media, and within hours of its publishing I had a few offers to join various cancer non-profit organizations. From that point forward, it just became a mission for me in my life to do everything in my power to help others through not just their cancer fights, but these challenging survivorship years after. I joined the Testicular Cancer Awareness Foundation and started blogging for them, because it just felt like the right place for me to be, and I got all of the right vibes and energy from the family that founded it. I made a lot of new friends in the non-profit arena, and there's so many similar people on similar missions that just like me, have grieved loss in their lives, and wanted to do good for others.
New relationships and new strengths, and all of the right people that I needed in my life.
I wasn't out of the woods yet, but I finally knew how to take care of myself, and how I needed to live my life after cancer. I enjoyed the hell out of every day the best way I knew how, I ran like the wind because it gave all of the anxiety I had freewheeling inside of me a healthy way to exit, and I bled into my keyboard to give all of that dark energy inside of me a healthy way out, too.
New patterns and hope.
My wife would often see me at my computer in tears, and asked me why I wrote if it hurt so much. The answer was not that I was hurting because I writing, but rather that I was writing because I was hurting inside, and my writing gave that pain a healthy way out of me, just as my running gave my anxiety issues a healthy way out of me as well. The PTSD that I experienced two years after my cancer diagnosis came far closer to killing me than the actual cancer ever did. That was so painful to experience that it took me another three years to even start opening up about it, but I felt so much better after I did. My writing has helped me release so much pain, and it's helped so many others find their way through their own.
The Top of The Curve
You know that you've done something really amazing and worthwhile when you have someone tell you that your writing has saved their lives, because they were so lost and afraid after cancer that they were ready to end it all, just like I was. They had found my writing and another person suffering like they were, and just knowing that they weren't alone, weren't truly crazy, and that other people deal with this shit too, was enough to keep them going. That's just amazing.
What if I told you that I've been told such things more than a few times now?
I'll tell you that recently becoming a Director at the Testicular Cancer Awareness Foundation, and having launched an entirely new from the ground up TCAF Ambassadors program that I've created and am really proud of is all fine and good. Having won an award for my writing, and being able to say that I'm an award-winning cancer blogger is a pretty cool thing to be able to say too, but all of this pales in comparison to those moments like the above. When someone reaches out to me to let me know just what a difference I've made, and that they might not be here today if it wasn't for what I've been working so hard at over the years, that's what matters, that's what counts, and that's why I do what I do, bleeding all over my keyboard for the past few years.
I still have some days here and there when I feel like something's once again gone or going terribly wrong in my body, and knowing that I've done some good in the world with my time here helps me to still feel at peace.
Affirmation, Helping Others, and Full Loss Adjustment.
I'm finally there. It only took me the better part of five years, and I've never had to work harder nor for longer at anything than I have at this, but I'm there.
I look back on this long grieving process of cancer survivorship, and tear up at some of these dark times I've experienced. It's not right, and it's not fair, but that's just how life is sometimes. No matter where you are on this grief curve after cancer, I'm here to tell you that you're going to make it, even if your body isn't. Our bodies are fallible, but souls are immortal. I'm all-in on believing that even if you don't, because it's the only way I could stop being afraid of cancer, and I refused to live my life in fear anymore. Otherwise, I wouldn't have gotten to where I am today. I'd be perpetually stuck somewhere back on that grief curve around re-entry troubles and depression, and I just refused to accept that that's how things were going to be. No f****** way!
You just head straight past Go, and onto New Relationships, New Strengths, and New Patterns (including thinking patterns and beliefs!), because that's the only way you're going to get past where you are. You have to evolve. My motto is this. So long as you're not hurting yourself or anybody else, it's all fair game.
Now tell me again that we're just supposed to be happy after cancer. The next time you run into someone who thinks this, send them my way. I don't think my friend is fully over her divorce yet, just as I don't believe that deep inside I'm fully over having had cancer yet, either. I don't think my friends that have lost husbands or sons to cancer will ever fully be "over it" either, but we grieve and we evolve slowly but surely, and maybe one day, we can eventually reach that plateau of full acceptance and loss adjustment.

There's still some days like the above when I once again find myself grieving about all of this, but I accept it now. Cancer survivors are hurting inside, just like a divorcee hurts, or someone that has lost someone hurts. We hurt about very different things, but it's all the same human process inside. There's nothing wrong with you. Cancer survivors are grieving too.

I have been photographing myself since 1982. I use a designated camera and each month is captured on one roll of film. If I fail to take a picture the film is advanced so a blank image is recorded, creating a visual calendar. The 2,500+ photographs include my body from head to toe, as well as some of my environment. Mostly, I am at home.
Sometimes friends and family are in the photographs; time weathers their bodies as well: my nieces grow from infants to young adults and two of them now have children of their own, while my parents survive into their eighties and are last pictured on their deathbeds. I am also making digital reenactment photographs in order to record changes in visually dramatic ways.
I know of no photographer who has, or is using my methodology. First, there are no edits. Every photograph is presented—even if I look bad on a particular day, pets act out, or I fail to get in the picture before the shutter is released. Second, I record happy moments (e.g. vacations) and sad ones (my parents on their deathbeds). Third, it's not just my body that changes: Fashion and hairstyles evolve; pets come and go; typewriters, analog clocks, and telephones with cords disappear; and finally, film gives way to digital and the computer replaces the darkroom. Indeed, the photographs underscore the technological, as well as physical, changes that have occurred over the past thirty-five years—from my youth to the dawn of old age.
While this work is a personal archive and record of my changing body and environment, I'm interested in the passage of time and how these environmental self-portraits can move beyond the personal to address life's passage.

The rear car, driven by David Tarnowski, rear-ended Thornley, pushing her into the lead car driven by Thomas Foley. Police cited Tarnowski. The impact was described as minor. Thornley died from unrelated causes while the lawsuit was pending. Her husband, Collin, continued as the executor of her estate. A deposition taken before her death was used; however, it contained no cross-examination. Tarnowski, who was sued in a separate lawsuit, stipulated to liability limits of $20,000.
In 1998, Samuel Hairston sought treatment for leg and lower back pain at the emergency room of the Medical College of Pennsylvania Hospital in Philadelphia. At the hospital, he was admitted and underwent an MRI exam, which detected a herniated disk applying pressure to the spinal cord. He then came under the care of Kenneth Casey, M.D., who allegedly opted for a non-surgical approach to treating Hairston, administering steroids to reduce inflammation around the herniated disk. Hairston left the hospital one week later in improved condition, but returned about three weeks thereafter with more severe pain in his back and legs. Casey then performed a posterior decompressive laminectomy and disc decompression, entering the body through the back to relieve pressure on the spine. After the procedure, residual osteophytic particles, bone growths that continued to compress the spine, were allegedly still detected. After two more weeks of recovery, Hairston left the hospital unable to walk unassisted. In 2000, Hairston sued Casey and the Medical College, alleging that they were negligent in not treating him surgically during his first visit to the hospital and that Casey was negligent in both employing a posterior instead of an anterior approach to the spine and in not operating again to relieve the continuing spinal pressure. The defense argued that Hairston's care met acceptable standards and that his permanent condition was a known possible consequence of the surgery.
Verdict Information:
On July 19, 2002, the 12-member jury found in the plaintiff's favor, finding the Medical College 88.5% responsible for Hairston's injuries and Casey 11.5% responsible, and awarding Hairston $2,900,000. No post-trial motions have been filed as of yet.

Charles Schumer Crawls Out Of Hole To Talk About Airline Security
Yesterday Charles Schumer came out with this:
Schumer: Penalize foreign airports that have lax security
By Tony Romm – 01/03/10 03:05 PM ET
The United States should penalize countries that fail to implement tough screening standards at their airports, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said Sunday.
Moreover, U.S.-based airlines should threaten not to fly into those airports either, in order to send a strong message about the importance of international passenger safety, he added.
"You don't have to be Albert Einstein to realize that flights that originate in foreign countries pose a greater danger," Schumer said during a press conference Sunday, according to CBS.
"What's crucial is that we immediately send many more of our [Transportation Security Administration] agents to the airports to check on their compliance," he added.
Only I couldn't help but remember this:
Schumer "Regrets" Slur of Flight Attendant
Posted by Brian Montopoli
New York Senator Chuck Schumer was reportedly waiting to take off on a flight from D.C. to New York Sunday when a flight attendant told him to turn his phone off.
According to the Republican aide who was apparently sitting nearby and told the story to Politico, both Schumer and his seatmate – fellow New York Democratic senator Kirsten Gillibrand – kept talking on their phones regardless.
Then the flight attendant came by again and told Schumer that everyone on the flight was waiting for him to turn off his phone. He asked to finish his conversation but was told he could not; he then hung up and, according to the GOP aide, argued about the rule banning him from speaking on the phone.
When the flight attendant walked away, the aide told Politico, Schumer turned to Gillibrand and referred to the woman as a "bitch."
Schumer spokesman Brian Fallon seems to be confirming the story; he told Politico that Schumer "made an off-the-cuff comment under his breath that he shouldn't have made, and he regrets it."
Perhaps the best detail of the story? The aide claims the phone rang again after Schumer finally hung up.
"It's Harry Reid calling," he said, according to the aide. "I guess health care will have to wait until we land."
The problem with Charles Schumer talking about airports with lax security is that he should pretty much be treated like a terrorist, himself.
So I propose a compromise: how about if we boycott any foreign airport that has lax security, and any airline – whether foreign or domestic – that allows a loathsome toad like Charles Schumer to fly with them?
Just my humble way of trying to be bipartisan.

Major Democrat Charles Schumer Shows What He Really Thinks About Working Women
When Democrats reveal what they really think about us.
For me the money quote is this one, even more than Schumer calling the flight attendant a "bitch":
Then the flight attendant came by again and told Schumer that everyone on the flight was waiting for him to turn off his phone. He asked to finish his conversation…
Imagine an entire plane full of passengers waiting for Charles Schumer to finish his telephone conversation.
That has to be the quintessential essence of an arrogant, elitist Democrat S.O.B. He's more important than everybody else in the world combined. The whole universe revolves around him. And nobody else matters in the slightest.
Apparently, Charles Schumer sees himself rather like Superman with the whole planet at risk, and no telephone booth in sight. Health care is going to have to wait because a bunch of maggot passengers and a "bitch" flight attendant think their lives somehow matter.
Democrats like Charles Schumer tell us that they are laboring mightily to pass health care for the ordinary American. But they don't give one damn about us, and it's time people understood that.

An Update on Youth Justice Policy
I have a good deal to say but I will try to contain myself.
I welcome the Minister, who has laid down a comprehensive statement on youth policy, which she had hoped to do in December. It is great that this is all together and that the Minister used the House to do this. The Minister mentioned that we are improving our data, but I remain concerned at the lack of data in the area, a point to which I will return. This particularly applies to juvenile offenders and children coming into contact with the criminal justice system. Through an analysis of various reports compiled by the Association for Criminal Justice Research and Development and a number of significant academic studies by the likes of Sinead McPhillips, Dr. Ursula Kilkelly and Dr. Jennifer Hayes, three key risk factors associated with children who became involved in criminal behaviour have been identified. As the Minister knows, these are family background, educational disadvantage characterised by poor literacy skills and low levels of academic achievement, and personal and familial factors such as alcohol and drug misuse, intergenerational crime and mental health problems. The studies have categorised the factors for us but it is not the understanding of the majority of the public, who are confronted daily with media reports and headlines about violent youth offenders and delinquent youths who are out of control. In the absence of political and media discourse to the contrary, it is understandable that they want to see zero tolerance and tough-on-crime type approaches. That is why the Minister's intervention is important. I support her understanding and her moves to promote prevention and early intervention.
I commend the work of so many of the agencies involved in the delivery of juvenile justice policy in Ireland, such as An Garda Síochána, particularly its Garda youth diversion projects, the dedicated young persons' probation division of the Probation Service, the Courts Service, and the Irish Prison Service, as long as it still has 17-year-old children detained in St. Patrick's Institution. I would like to make special mention of the Irish Youth Justice Service, IYJS, which has been leading and driving reform in the area of youth justice since its creation in 2005. It has made important strides and shows the importance of Departments working together, as the Minister outlined.
It is a real missed opportunity that a centralised data and research department has not been established in the IYJS. We need to co-ordinate inter-agency research between the agencies involved in the delivery of juvenile justice and map the trajectory of the child through the criminal justice system. Every child has an individual story but we mostly get to read these in child death reports and other significant reports. We need to collect the data earlier. We also need to identify divergences between the policy and legal framework of youth justice and its implementation, administration and practice.
I would like to personally congratulate the Minister on a number of successes and advances in youth justice policy under her stewardship. In particular, I welcome the decision on St. Patrick's Institution and today's update on bringing the detention centres together. It has been long promised, but the Minister has done it and I thank her for it. We need a unified approach and I am happy to hear that a new head of the campus has been appointed. I look forward to the opportunity to support the legislation brought to the House. There are significant challenges in respect of the campus but I will support the Minister. In the interim, since December 2013, 17 year olds are being remanded to Wheatfield Prison. I note specific concerns raised by the Irish Penal Reform Trust in respect of 18 to 21 year olds, and obviously any 17 year olds detained there, that Wheatfield is often overcrowded and does not have adequate education and training capacity for its inmates. The focus for our young adult prison population must be on rehabilitation and not simply containment. I remain concerned about the interim period and how we are serving these young people.
I raise my concern over the lack of sufficient special care and protection places available to children with severe emotional and behavioural difficulties. I raised the point in November when we debated the Child and Family Agency Bill. From a juvenile justice policy perspective, my concern echoes that articulated by Judge Ann Ryan, who until recently presided over the Children's Court in Smithfield. She has spoken of her frustration at the lack of HSE special care and protection places available to children, citing a correlation between the failure of the State to appropriately deal with these acutely vulnerable children and the likelihood that many will find themselves before the children's courts facing criminal charges.
I remain concerned about this. For example, a HIQA report was published and the response was to close the centre, yet there are not enough places for the children who are vulnerable.
I refer to children who are remanded in custody. The most recent data available from the IYJS are from 2008 and show that of the 111 children detained on remand in children detention schools, only 44% went on to be sentenced to detention on conviction. That raises a twofold concern – first, that detention as a last resort requirement, the principle underlying the Children Act, was not being adequately embraced by judges at the pre-trial stage and, second, that there was an urgent need to introduce a formal system of bail support to help children to manage their bail conditions, thus helping to reduce the number being placed in detention on remand. Unfortunately, the pilot scheme mooted in 2008 in Young People on Remand: The National Children's Research Strategy Series to offer bail support services for vulnerable children who ceme before the Children Court in Dublin and Limerick failed to materialise owing to insufficient resources. Will the Minister provide the House with the figures in this regard for the past few years? I would be interested in seeing and trying to understand them. I fear the position has not improved much from what I hear anecdotally. Will the Minister consider revisiting the bail support pilot scheme?
I refer to the issue of training. Staff and personnel engaged in the formulation and delivery of youth justice policy should be trained in the provisions of the Children Act. The Committee on the Rights of the Child made a recommendation to this effect in 2006. An advanced diploma in juvenile justice is being run by the King's Inns. The course is attended by a great mix of professionals from a wide variety of disciplinary backgrounds, including legal professionals, juvenile liaison officers, prison officers, detention centre staff and the IYJS. Robust, specialist training such as this needs to be rolled out on a systematic basis and attendance supported by employers such as the State.
I also raise the issue of the age of criminal responsibility. The concluding observations of the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child expressed concern about the age of criminal responsibility being ten years under the Criminal Justice Act 2006. The Minister has submitted a consolidated report to the committee. Has she had a communication from the committee? Will Ireland consider this issue before it appears before the committee?
On Second Stage of the Courts and Civil Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill in March last year I alerted the Minister for Justice and Equality to my concern about routine breaches of the Children Act in the Dublin Children Court. Examples include the court appointed registrar calling the name of the child in the public waiting room, the former practice of District Courts including YP, meaning "young person", beside the child's name on the court list and the presence of Gardaí and legal representatives unrelated to the specific case in the court which is mandated to sit in camera. The Minister said he would write to the Courts Service and I await a response. I raise the issue in this debate because we need to consider practical remedies to ensure the Children Act is implemented in the spirit intended by the then Minister and the Houses of the Oireachtas.

Order of Business, 16 November 2012
I echo the congratulations to the Irish team, which has given us all a boost. Perhaps we would like to skip over the budget and get straight to the European matches. Unfortunately, we cannot.
I have concerns at the kite flying that is happening. Vulnerable hard-pressed families are reading headlines every day and wondering what will happen. We should all be careful with our comments.
I echo what Senator Bacik said about St. Patrick's Institution and seeking a debate in the House. It is of extreme concern and a gross violation of our human rights record. For the sake of the children in vulnerable situations we need to act as soon as possible.
Today, I raise the issue of transition year students. Most of us are aware of the transition year programme which promotes the personal, social, vocational and educational development of students and prepares them for their role as autonomous, participative and responsible members of society.
Recently, I received an application from a transition year student to work for one week in Leinster House as part of the work experience programme. I was informed that this is not possible. What better way to achieve these goals than by allowing young people to experience a working environment through one of the work experience programmes offered by most schools that conduct the transition year programme? The Houses of the Oireachtas lacks any dedicated structure to facilitate students who wish to experience the working life of the Parliament. Work experience is available for second level students with members of parliament in the European Parliament and the British Houses of Parliament. Why can we not do it here? Even closer to home, Dublin City Council offers second level work experience.
This experience is extremely valuable, would give students an insight into our work and would help them understand what we are doing here. I call on the Leader and the House to examine ways in which the Seanad could put in place a one week programme once a year to provide transition year students with an opportunity to listen to some of our key debates and a chance to partially shadow a Senator. The programme could be open to a lottery and provide to a limited number of transition year students an opportunity to see what we do. I ask that this be given serious consideration and I would be happy to give any support and assistance I can.

I echo everything said in the Chamber this morning about St. Patrick's Institution. There is a need for greater urgency because, as has been said, there are still 17 to 21 year olds detained at the institution. Therefore, the problem has not gone away. I ask for an update on the development of a detention school at a site located at Oberstown-Lusk. We need to ensure that when children are transferred, it is to a good location, as we do not repeat past mistakes. I listened to the debate. Several colleagues talked about the culture of those in charge at St. Patrick's Institution and my comments made here last December were brought into sharp focus. I will not break privilege, but I am concerned. Why did we make the appointment to the committee on the prevention of torture? I am greatly concerned about who Ireland appointed to the committee and express my concern again today.
I support Senator Mark Daly's call for a debate on the plight of the survivors of child abuse. I know the details of the case to which he referred. It involves an appalling injustice and is unacceptable. I have met the person mentioned for several years and can vouch for the fact that he is dying. When we bring him to Dublin to meet colleagues, I ask that Senators attend to demonstrate greater compassion.

Order of Business, 26 June 2012
I, too, welcome the publication of the consultation document on the criminalisation of the purchase of sex which I believe is the result of the motion the Independent group brought before the House on two occasions.
Last Friday, 22 June, the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs, Deputy Frances Fitzgerald, and the Minister for Justice and Equality, Deputy Alan Shatter, signed a statutory order to remove section 11(1)(e)(iii) of the Ombudsman for Children Act which excluded children detained in St Patrick's Institution from the complaints remit of the Ombudsman for Children, Ms Emily Logan. The order will take effect from 1 July. I warmly welcome this move which I do not believe received much publicity. Prior to this, children held in prison, children in the Defence Forces and children involved in dealings with the Garda were the only three groups of children excluded from the remit of the Ombudsman for Children.
However, there is an ombudsman in place for both the Defence Forces and the Garda. It followed from the announcement of the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs on 2 April that the detention of children in St Patrick's Institution would end on 1 May for all newly remanded or sentenced 16 and 17 year olds. They will now be detained in Oberstown. These two measures mark significant progress in the treatment of juvenile offenders and the observance of children's human rights. However, I am mindful of the fact that there is still no independent, fair and impartial complaints mechanism for adult prisoners. Concern has been expressed in this regard by both the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment and the inspector of prisons, Mr. Justice Michael Reilly, in his annual report for 2010.
In Mr. Justice Reilly's report he refers to a deficiency, to be rectified by 1 July 2011, in the following of proper complaints procedures, with supporting documents. I look forward to seeing what progress, if any, is recorded in his next annual report. I ask the Leader to invite the Minister for Justice and Equality to the House to confirm when the annual report of the Office of the Inspector of Prisons for 2011 will be published. I understand it was sent to the Minister on 17 April. I ask that we have a debate on how best an independent, transparent and accountable prisoner complaints mechanism can be established in the prisons.
Order of Business, 1 February 2012
I thank the Leader for promising to bring the Minister of State with responsibility for European affairs to the House next week to discuss the treaty on stability, co-ordination and governance. Like most of us I am in the process of studying it and will form my own view. I look forward to the upcoming discussion.
I will address two matters, the first of which is the universal periodic review. Members are aware that Ireland's human rights record was subject to its first universal periodic review hearing last October, and the report of the working group on Ireland's review, also known as the outcome document, will be adopted by the Human Rights Council during its 19th session on 16 March this year. Of the 126 recommendations contained in the outcome document, the Government has examined and accepted 62, and 49 recommendations are currently under consideration by the Government, with responses to be provided before the Human Rights Council session in March. Some 15 recommendations, the majority of which pertain to reproductive rights and combating racism, have been rejected.
The commitments made by the Government during this process and the potential for further commitments to be made before the adoption of the outcome document should yield significant improvements in the area of prison conditions, children's rights, gender equality, mental health, freedom of expression and combating racism and discrimination. I ask the Leader to invite the Minister for Justice and Equality, Deputy Shatter, to the Chamber to advise and debate with Senators as to the status of the 49 recommendations under consideration, and to outline how the relevant Departments plan to build on the exemplary consultation process with non-governmental organisations and civil society in the lead-up to Ireland's review and the next review of 2016.
There is a second issue, although I will not repeat my requests in detail. On 18 and 25 January I asked that the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs be invited to the Seanad to address questions on the proposed children's referendum, the interim measures for children currently detained in St. Patrick's institution, the new children and family support agency and the potential to use the Children's Rights Alliance report card as the basis for this debate. I know there is much talk of referendums in the air but I advise Senators that the children's referendum needs to take place.
I will give a reason for this. There are 2,000 children in long-term foster care and the referendum would make them eligible for adoption. Once these children turn 18, that right is extinguished, so as the days and months roll on, let us be conscious that as we deliberate, we are potentially denying these children what everybody agrees should be allowed, namely, the security of being part of a family. I repeat my call that the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs update this House on the status of the children's rights referendum. The issue cannot be debated any longer and we must change it. There are 2,000 very good reasons to have that referendum.
Order of Business, 25 January 2012
I encourage my colleagues to participate in the Private Members' debate on the motion proposed by the Independent group on disability support and services. I appeal to Members to support the motion as proposed. This is an important debate and I hope the House will support the very clear action points in the motion. It will be led by my colleague, Senator Mary Ann O'Brien.
I recall the Private Members' motion by the Independent group on 12 October 2011 on criminalising the purchase of sex in Ireland. We are three months into the six-month period indicated by the Minister for Justice and Equality for public consultation. This matter was raised in the Dáil last week by Deputy Kevin Humphreys and the Minister advised that the consultation process would be ready before the end of January. However, I am concerned by the inclusion of a caveat in the Minister's reply that the publication of the document before the end of January is subject to resources, having regard to compelling priorities including legislative priorities. I fully appreciate the financial times we are in and I know that the Government needs to prioritise its work. However, the debate we had on 12 October 2011 showed a clear link between prostitution and trafficking, particularly in respect of trafficking children for sexual exploitation. The protection of women and children from sexual exploitation must be a Government priority. I ask the Leader to invite the Minister for Justice and Equality to confirm that the consultation document will be published and that the consultation process will commence without further delay.
I also wish to raise whistleblower legislation. The situation of Louise Bayliss has been raised by the media in recent days. Coincidentally, she met me last Tuesday to discuss lone parents, before she heard the news. She is an advocate who has spoken out and we need to remember the five women she spoke out about, who were being put into a closed unit. How do we know how many other people are in that situation if we do not produce whistleblowing legislation? There should also be independent funding for advocacy organisations. This does not concern new funding but the basis of funding for the organisations working as advocates.
Finally, I wish to raise Children's Rights Alliance report card launched on Monday. Last week, I called for the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs to come to the House and I suggest to the House that this is an excellent basis for discussion. The Government has failed in the report card in regard to St. Patrick's institution and the continued detention of children in an adult prison regime. The effects of budget 2012 on lone parents and large families and the implications for child poverty were highlighted. The Government got the best grade any Government has received in four years but that does not mean it is good enough. We need to do more. It is a wide-ranging report which looks at all aspects of a child's life and would provide an excellent foundation for a debate.
I join in the sympathies expressed by colleagues. Will the Leader call on the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs, Deputy Frances Fitzgerald, to come to the House to address several issues of concern to Members? There is agreement in regard to child protection and adoption, but several outstanding issues are of great concern to me. The first of these relates to the promised referendum on children's rights. Concern has been expressed by various children's organisations and in the media that the amendment to the Constitution (children's referendum) Bill is included under section C of the Government's legislative programme rather than as a priority Bill under section A. Is this a reflection of a reduced commitment to holding the referendum without delay? I hope the Minister can provide an assurance to the House that the referendum will take place in 2012 and that she will update us and involve us in the thinking and the process to date.
The delay in the construction of the national children's detention centre is a cause of great concern to me and others in this House. The Government, like its predecessors, is acutely aware that the continued detention of children under the adult regime at St. Patrick's Institution is one of the State's most glaring violations of human rights and children's rights. This goes back to the Whitaker report of 1985; I will not rehearse all that has been said on the subject since. The programme for Government includes a firm commitment to end the practice of sending children to St. Patrick's Institution. An announcement regarding the promised detention centre was expected in the capital expenditure programme, but I was extremely disappointed to discover it was not included. I understand the situation now is that responsibility for building the detention centre has been passed to the Department of Children and Youth Affairs and that the project must be redrawn in light of current economic circumstances. I wish to ask the Minister for a timeline for the redrawing of the costs of the project and an indication of when the project is expected to be completed. She should inform the House of the interim measures her Department intends to put in place to ensure the boys in question are more suitably accommodated until such time as the national detention centre is operational.
I am also concerned about the proposed new agency to oversee children and family services and how it will be decoupled from the Health Service Executive. I understand plans are being drawn up in this regard; it is important that this House be involved in the development of those plans. The report of the child death review panel was lodged with the Minister before Christmas. Will the Leader ask the Minister to outline the panel's findings to this House? Instead of doing so at a media launch, the Minister should give us an opportunity to discuss how we can prevent future deaths of children in the care of the State.


How Is Alcohol Affecting Your Weight?
So you've been exercising regularly, and cutting back on your calories to meet your weight loss goals. Everything is going great with your new changes but you notice the number on the scale isn't moving much and your body isn't changing shape as quickly as you'd hoped.
There may be one more habit interfering with your weight loss efforts- -alcohol. Perhaps you enjoy a glass of wine with dinner, have a couple of beers while watching the big game, or even cocktails on a Saturday night with friends. All common practices but they may be getting in the way of your weight loss efforts.
Alcoholic beverages have been enjoyed throughout recorded history. For some, a drink with dinner may be relaxing. Others may enjoy the inhibitions that alcohol can create to "let loose" with friends. Many people drink for the health benefits. After-all, evidence shows that moderate drinking, especially red wine, may lower the risk of heart disease. No matter what your reasons are for drinking, alcohol can interfere with your weight loss goals.
Alcohol is a product of fermenting carbohydrates- both sugars and starches. This means it does provide calories. Specifically it provides 7 calories for every gram compared to 4 calories per gram of carbohydrates and protein, and 9 calories per gram of fat. Drinking 4 (12 ounce) beers will supply 600 calories. To burn those calories, a person would need to walk non-stop for 3 hours. Skipping the cab ride and walking home may be a strategy but for most of us a 3 hour walk is a bit daunting even when we are in good shape.
Although wine contains fewer calories than beer, this can also lead to extra calories. Having a glass of wine provides 100 calories, but this is dependent on the glass size. A serving size of wine is 5-ounces. The larger wine glasses hold about 10 ounces turning your one glass of wine into two glasses. To put this into perspective, drinking two glasses of wine each night with dinner will add an extra 200 calories each day. If these calories are not burned through exercise and daily activity it can lead to a 20 pound weight gain in a year.
Besides adding calories, alcohol may affect your weight for other reasons. Some evidence suggests drinking alcoholic beverages may stimulate your appetite and cause you to eat more than you normally would. It also decreases your inhibitions so you don't care how much more you are eating. How many times have you enjoyed chips and salsa with your margaritas while out with friends? How many chips did you eat? Who knows- all you remember is the waiter bringing three or four refills of the chip bowl.
Another factor to take into account is that your body processes alcohol first, before fat, protein, or carbohydrates which may slow down the burning of fat. There is also evidence that drinking too much seems to increase fat carried in the stomach area- otherwise known as the beer belly. Studies show that people with a higher amount of fat in the abdominal region are at a greater risk of heart disease.
Ok, this is looking dreary but it doesn't mean you can never enjoy alcohol again. It just means that it is time to take inventory to see how much you are drinking and pay attention to how many calories your favorite drinks supply. Learn how to enjoy alcohol in moderation so you don't end up sabotaging your weight loss efforts.
"The greatest of follies is to sacrifice health for any other kind of happiness."

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a persistent neuropsychiatric disorder which is associated with impairments on a variety of cognitive measures and abnormalities in structural and functional brain measures. Genetic factors are thought to play an important role in the etiology of ADHD. The NeuroIMAGE study is a follow-up of the Dutch part of the International Multicenter ADHD Genetics (IMAGE) project. It is a multi-site prospective cohort study designed to investigate the course of ADHD, its genetic and environmental determinants, its cognitive and neurobiological underpinnings, and its consequences in adolescence and adulthood. From the original 365 ADHD families and 148 control (CON) IMAGE families, consisting of 506 participants with an ADHD diagnosis, 350 unaffected siblings, and 283 healthy controls, 79 % participated in the NeuroIMAGE follow-up study. Combined with newly recruited participants the NeuroIMAGE study comprehends an assessment of 1,069 children (751 from ADHD families; 318 from CON families) and 848 parents (582 from ADHD families; 266 from CON families). For most families, data for more than one child (82 %) and both parents (82 %) were available. Collected data include a diagnostic interview, behavioural questionnaires, cognitive measures, structural and functional neuroimaging, and genome-wide genetic information. The NeuroIMAGE dataset allows examining the course of ADHD over adolescence into young adulthood, identifying phenotypic, cognitive, and neural mechanisms associated with the persistence versus remission of ADHD, and studying their genetic and environmental underpinnings. The inclusion of siblings of ADHD probands and controls allows modelling of shared familial influences on the ADHD phenotype.

Back to being a wuss - no OBL picture (update)
Europe's reaction to the death of bin Laden – predictable
The NYT tries to revive the "crazy vet" meme
One of the most enduring themes of the Viet Nam era was that of the badly damaged Vietnam vet who came home and created mayhem – all because of his experiences and training. It was a myth that died hard only because the war was so unpopular and so many people wanted to believe it.
BG Burkett in his book Stolen Valor, completely takes all the underlying premises that supported that myth apart with facts and statistics. I don't have time to relate them all but I cannot recommend that book highly enough.
That said, this article by Luke Mogelson in the New York Times Magazine (via PJ Tatler) entitled "The Beast In The Heart Of Every Fighting Man" is a travesty. It's subhead gives you a clue why:
The case against American soldiers accused of murdering Afghan civilians turns on the idea of a rogue unit. But what if the killings are a symptom of a deeper problem?
Instead of telling the story of the now infamous "kill squad" from the 5th Stryker Brigade out of Ft. Lewis WA, and the reasons for their actions and activities, Mogelson does what many hacks do and tries to conflate what happened in a single platoon out in the middle of nowhere in Afghanistan with a problem that infects the entire military.
Granted – no, stipulated – war is hell, it changes people, it is something which anyone who has ever experienced it up close and personal would never wish on another person. And yes, there are stresses that come from multiple deployments, leaving your family behind and watching men you think more of than anyone in the world die in action. But those stresses aren't unique to these wars. Yes, multiple deployments are fairly unique. But then the alternative is the duration – which my parents did in WWII – 4 years of war, from beginning to end.
But that's not the point of the article. Mogelson does a credible job of telling the "kill squad" story. It's a horrible story in which a deviant but charismatic junior leader, in an isolated outpost, talks some impressionable squad members into doing the unthinkable all while the weak leadership in charge of the platoon failed in their roles.
Had he left it here, I could actually find myself saying nice things about it. It is a story that must be told.
But he didn't leave it there. He started to veer in that old and predictable lane in which the military is indicted for making robot killers out of their charges and becoming so good at it that things like this happen.
In fact, just the treatment of the title outlines his attempt. And interestingly, later on in the article, he uses the full quote from Gen. George C Marshall from which the line comes:
"Once an army is involved in war, there is a beast in every fighting man which begins tugging at its chains. And a good officer must learn early on how to keep the beast under control, both in his men and himself."
Mogelson deals with the first part, but he makes absolutely no effort at all to understand the second part and how critical it is to the institution he attacks. That is, "good officer[s]" and NCOs do keep control of it and they comprise the vast majority of the leadership in our military. That's why the military spends so much time and effort training them to do so.
Mogelson is reduced to using the Philippine insurrection and My Lai, two isolated examples decades apart as some sort of proof of his premise. They are, instead, outliers. As was Abu Ghraib. There are always going to be bad people found in good institutions. We see bad cops – but we don't think all policemen are bad nor do we pretend that law enforcement as a whole deserves blanket condemnation. We realize that with any organization of size which deals in a deadly business that there may be some bad people who we will have to weed out at some point or another.
However, Mogelson, via sociologist Stjepan Mestrovic, rejects that premise:
If we lack a sense of collective responsibility for these more recent war crimes, Mestrovic blames this on our readiness to believe that such occasional iniquities are aberrations perpetrated by a derelict few, rather than the inevitable result of institutional failures and, more generally, the nature of the conflicts in which we are engaged.
Institutional failures? A military that fights the cleanest wars imaginable, does everything in its power to avoid collateral damage, demands that its leadership monitor and control that so-called "beast" by being totally involved and leading from the front. A military that has fought like no other military has ever fought in history is an institutional failure?
Yeah, it was 40 years ago too according to these experts. Except it wasn't.
Welcome to my world of those long gone days of the Viet Nam era when exactly this sort of nonsense was written about Viet Nam and it's vets. And, if you read the comments to this story, you'll find "mission accomplished" is appropriate:
These men and women return to abuse and often kill innocent people stateside. Their minds are permanently mangled.
The United States military is not protecting us but putting every US citizen in grave danger from the killing robots they have created..
END the military. We will all be safer.
In sum, the military's purpose in training young men and women is to twist, destroy, and pervert basic human decency, empathy and consideration of other human beings-- everything that most likely his or her family has also strived to cultivate in him or her-- in order to serve the aims of empire.
Thus, the military is essentially an evil institution.
The old meme is resurfacing and gaining some traction. As I said way back then, "never again".
The military is both an honorable profession and a extraordinarily necessary one. Its members are not "victims" of some evil institution. They're not robots. They're not "killing machines" who come home to "abuse and often kill innocent people stateside". The purpose of our military isn't now nor has it ever been to "pervert basic human decency". It's to do a necessary and often distasteful and dangerous job for the BENEFIT of those back home – for their safety and freedom.
Ironically the NYT publishes this garbage just after some hard men heroically risked their lives in a daring raid to kill a mass-murdering terrorist who struck the very city they print this in.
This is the thanks they get.

Does your resume hit the mark?
Not sure what to put in the resume skills section? Here are best examples of what skills to put on your resume. Proven tips for DIY resume writers.
What's the difference between skills, personality traits, abilities, strengths, talents or achievements?
Between hard skills and soft skills?
Getting your skills right on your resume is no easy feat. But fear not. These questions are precisely what we're here to parse through today.
My team has literally written thousands of resumes for senior-level candidates with a consistent 5-star rating. So, don't feel you have to go it alone.
Now, let's cover off on some basics.
1. Hard Skills (aka Job-Related Skills).
The technical skills you need to do a certain job. These skills are teachable and can be quantified.
Examples: spearfishing or HTML / CSS programming.
2. Soft Skills (aka Adaptive Skills).
The personal attributes or skills you use to manoeuvre through life in the world. These are subjective interpersonal skills that aren't as easy to quantify.
Examples: a persuasive presenter or an effective listener.
3. Transferrable Skills (Sometimes Hard, Sometimes Soft).
The ones you can take with you from one job to another. Examples: public speaking. Fluent in French.
Now that you're skilled in skills, let's talk about what NOT to do with them.
What Skills Not To Include On Your Resume.
1. Skills You Don't Possess.
While the readers of our blog are unquestionably people of integrity, a CareerBuilder survey reports that more than 75% of HR managers have pinpointed a lie on a resume.
So, even if your intentions are good, resist the temptation to embellish or exaggerate your skills to get the job. Because, like John Lennon said, instant karma's gonna get you.
Whether it means you get an interview and don't perform – or, even worse, you get hired and aren't sure what you're doing.
Bottom line, tell the truth. And apply for jobs that don't err too far on the edge of aspirational.
Still a whiz with MS-DOS, Lotus 1-2-3, or Vista? Keep it on the down low. Technology changes by the day, and many great innovations have gone the way of the dinosaur.
Been out of the workforce for a while? Make sure the skills you list on your resume are still current and in-demand by employers.
If the skills you have aren't directly (or even remotely) related to the job you're applying for, leave them off.
This may seem obvious, but it can sometimes be subtle.
Maybe you use a certain sport, workout or meditation technique to stay focused at work. And you feel it's important for your future employer to know how centered you are.
However, think twice before you waste a recruiter's time citing your mindfulness practice, or your squash abilities. Save it for the interview.
4. Used and Abused Skills.
Every year, LinkedIn publishes a list of buzzwords that are overused in profiles.
2018's list is a good indicator of words to beware when crafting skills for your resume.
LinkedIn's list is also a poignant reminder that every employer already expects you to be ALL (or most) of those things.
So, why bother spelling them out?
Also, please don't list "MS Office", "email" or the "internet" as skills you possess. Now let's move onto best practices for resume skills.
Skills don't solve business problems; people do.
Two candidates applying for the same role might possess identical education and training, yet have taken entirely different career paths based on how they've decided to apply their skills.
That said, the goal of your resume (and your personal brand, while we're at it) is to clearly communicate the commercially relevant business problems you can solve for a potential employer.
If a hiring manager happens to have the problem that you can uniquely solve, you'll likely get a call for an interview.
Make sure your skills tell a clear, cohesive story throughout the narrative that is your resume.
(Related Article: Beyond Your Resume: Building Your Personal Brand).
How To Format Skills On Your Resume.
But how, you're thinking. Should they be in list form, in a table format, or peppered throughout?
The answer is … it depends. On whom you are and what kind of a role you're going for.
1. Subject Matter Expert / Specialist.
Let's say you're a software engineer.
Your next dream job is a head of engineering role at a major software company.
Since you're skilled at things not many other people are – and they are essential to qualifying you for the job you want – it makes great sense for you to showcase your skills and qualification in a simple list or table format.
Any recruiter screening for this role will scan the first page of your resume to confirm the above boxes are checked. In this case, your list or table should feature your qualifications first and skills second.
The same advice would apply for project managers, financial planners, cybersecurity and other IT professionals, medical professionals, etc.
You get the idea. Basically, any specialty role where you need a specific set of skills and trainings to be competitive in the job market would follow this rule of thumb.
2. Associate / Career-Level Roles.
Follow the same guidelines above, with one possible exception.
Your education might be more appropriate to place below your list or table of skills. Unless you have a certification that's essential for the job you want.
3. Senior Leadership / Executive Roles.
In the immortal words of John Cleese: And now for something completely different.
If you're an executive, you're the one exception to the "skills in a list or table" rule.
At your level, it's incumbent upon you to prove you have what it takes to solve your desired employer's biggest business challenges.
A simple table won't get you there. But here's what will: Core Assets (aka Key Accomplishments).
For our senior-most clients, we recommend showcasing your skills (both hard and soft) in a way that illustrates your USP—your unique ability to solve commercially relevant business problems.
(Related Article: How to Define Your USP).
Generally, these proof points take shape as achievements. They land either in a section of your resume called Core (or Key) Assets or in a list of Key Achievements / Accomplishments. And, of course, your skills should be sprinkled throughout your Professional Experience section.
This is a fancy way of saying you need to tie your skills to tangible results. Without the results, your most coveted skills will end up sounding like fluff.
Baffled much? Read my post on how to write resume achievements.
However, on the topic of skills, I'll also suggest an additional writing technique that isn't included in my post on resume achievements.
The CAR Technique (Challenge / Action / Results).
The CAR technique is an effective and straightforward way to translate your skills into accomplishments that are capable of capturing the hearts, minds and eyeballs of recruiters.
Challenge: what big challenges have you faced relative to this skill? Remember to span your career versus just your most recent role.
Actions: what specific actions did you take to overcome those challenges? The key word here is specific.
And you want to tout your change management skills.
A major challenge in your career involved a significant revenue shortfall at your company.
The action you took was to initiate a policy change that freed up funds for direct marketing.
The result was that you nearly eliminated the loss in less than a year.
That example would fit best in a list of achievements, even though it's highlighting a skill.
2. You're A VP of HR.
You want to emphasise your leadership skills.
Your action was to create a program that clearly delineated career paths for various roles.
In one of your roles, your company was suffering from crippling attrition due to lack of growth opportunity.
The result was reduced attrition for hard-to-fill roles.
By now, I trust you're feeling a tad more grounded in the world of resume skill creation. Admittedly, though, this DIY approach to crafting skills for your resume demands a great deal of time and energy.
Consider it a small reminder that we all shine on.
