Somewhere I wrote about my memory of that day I finished the Seattle Marathon course back in November 2003. I wrote about how I finished the course and I remember the course was marked to herd us into the football field and I jogged up to the entrance to the football field where the crowd was seated in the stands and I got on the green field and then I sprinted the rest of the way across the field, passing one other runner along the way on the field. I used to have photographs of that finish. I wrote about how the announcer commented over the loud speaker about my finishing sprint down the field to the finish line where they gave me a finisher's medal.

Scenery, supporters offset runners' pain in Seattle Marathon

By J.J. Jensen

Seattle Times staff reporter

Braving temperatures in the low 30s, runners by the hundreds began arriving at Seattle Center before dawn yesterday in preparation for the 34th Seattle Marathon.

It's been 841 days since I ran the Seattle Marathon. As I was waiting for the race to start, a very attractive young woman kicked my foot and I started talking to her. She was going to college in Provo and I described being out there the previous year for Ironman Utah. She told me that people say to stay out of that lake now because of "dead bodies" in it. I saw her later and she was far ahead of me in the race. I remember also thinking that people were watching me, beyond the normal spectating. I passed by a group of people and heard someone say "there he is." The next day at work, the director my group told me she had been there to watch the finish of the race. She described how she had accidently showed up or something like that, but I wasn't buying it. A cute woman at work that day was wearing clothes that looked suspicously similar to what I had wore for the race.

I think this was the 4th of 5 marathons I finished in a year period. I'm not sure of exact dates offhand but between Dec 2002 and Dec 2003, I completed 5 marathons, 2 sprint triathlons, and I trained for and participated in Ironman CDA, but I dropped out at the midpoint, completing the 2.4 mile swim and then 56 miles of the bike. I had developed serious cramps in my legs during the swim and a cramp in my lower leg was very painful. It was also extremely hot and I let myself get dehydrated. I could have probably taken some advil to relieve the pain in my leg, but being so dehydrated, I was worried about taking anything. I dropped out of the race and didn't really start regretting it until about 3 or days later, so that was an indication to me that I should have dropped out. If I had started regretting it right away, then I probably could have kept going on and at least finished the bike course.

Well, you see, in a covert operation like that—and the covert operation was a response by us to an appeal from this other group of individuals who wanted to discuss better relations with our country. And it had to be covert for their safety, because contrary to what some of the people have said, I was not doing business with the [Ayatollah] Khomeini. In fact, quite the contrary; these were people that were anticipating another government to follow him. And if you'll remember, at that particular time, almost every day there were reports of his failing health and that his days were very numbered and so forth. And they wanted to talk about a better relation than we have with the present government.

How James Holmes Went From Shy Nerd To Accused Cold-Blooded Killer

ASHLEY LUTZ

Jul. 25, 2012, 6:08 PM

James Holmes, the 24-year-old accused of gunning down dozens of people in a Colorado movie theater last week, went from being a "quiet" doctoral student to the most infamous man in America.

Here's what we know about how he might have gotten there:

Holmes was adopted as a child and raised in San Diego, Calif., the New York Post reported, citing the father of a victim, who had in turn said he got that information from the police.

His mother is a registered nurse and his father is a senior scientist at FICO, the company that provides credit scores, according to local paper U-T San Diego.

He has a younger sister, Chris, according to USA Today.

His elementary classmates remember Holmes as a well-behaved kid who excelled at computer programming and sports. He got "picked for flag football first, because he was fast," one classmate told The Californian.

He dabbled in soccer and cross-country in high school. One classmate said he had a small group of friends who played video games and told the New York Times he was "nice and sweet."

College academics came easily to Holmes, who studied at the University of California. One former classmate told the Washington Post: “He didn’t even have to take notes or anything. He would just show up to class, sit there, and around test time he would always get an A.”

In college, he worked as a camp counselor for children. He was in charge of about 10 campers. One of his former coworkers told TMZ he was a nice guy who hung out with the rest of the staff and never gave anyone alarm.

In the summer of 2006, he scored an internship at the prestigious Salk Institute that may have raised some red flags. His supervisor told the Christian Science Monitor he was an unusually bad intern, "odd" and "stubborn."

But he still graduated from University of California at the top of his class, according to USA Today.

After that, he enrolled in a neuroscience doctoral program at University of Colorado.

Experts have suggested he might have had a psychotic break after failing to meet the expectations of his father, who has a degree from Stanford and a successful career, the Daily Mail reported.

From here, the picture gets more disturbing: Holmes was always alone, according to reports from his neighbors in Colorado cited by The New York Times.

He blared techno music beginning at midnight, playing the same song over and over, a neighbor told the Huffington Post.

He started to show interest in joining a gun range, but was rejected after the leader heard his bizarre, "demonic" voicemail message.

He also allegedly slept with several prostitutes, even reviewing them for a website, TMZ reported. One woman who claimed Holmes was her client said he was "really nice."

Holmes also may have had profiles on AdultFriendFinder and Match.com. The profiles said people noticed his "soul-penetrating eyes" and asked if women would visit him in prison.

Weeks before the shooting, he failed an important exam at University of Colorado and bought one of the assault rifles he'd allegedly use in the shooting.

He allegedly spent months building an arsenal, possibly from the $26,000 in federal grants he received for graduate school.

Now, reports have emerged that Holmes sent a notebook full of his plans last week to a University of Colorado psychiatrist. It went unopened until Monday.

Just two days before the shooting, he drank at a local bar. Another patron told KCNC-TV in Denver he seemed intelligent and had a swagger.

When he went into the theater, witnesses said he morphed into a monster, selecting his victims. “He would shout, ‘What are you doing? I said stand up!’ And he would pick people up. I saw him stand over someone. I just see hair and him holding the shirt and — boom!”

Microsoft settles license lawsuit

United Press International

SEATTLE - Microsoft Corp. said late Monday it has agreed to pay Seattle Computer Products Inc. nearly $1 million in an out-of-court settlement, ending jury deliberations in a $60 million licensing fraud lawsuit.

Microsoft, one of the nation's largest software manufacturers, will purchase back the seven license agreements it had with Seattle Computer, including any license for Microsoft operating systems products and high-level languages.

Seattle Computers, which has been virtually shut down, sued Microsoft over a 1981 agreement that Seattle Computers said was not intended to give Microsoft exclusive use of its program design and subsequent improvements.

Aurora suspect James Holmes was buying guns, dropping out of graduate school

By Pete Williams, Bill Dedman and NBC News staff

Updated Friday 9:25 p.m. ET: James Eagan Holmes, suspected of carrying out the Colorado movie theater shooting while wearing an outfit of black ballistic gear, was a Phi Beta Kappa graduate student in neuroscience who started buying his four weapons legally in May, about the time his grades fell and he began the process of dropping out of school.


Aurora Police Chief Dan Oates said Holmes, born Dec. 13, 1987, is the man who is believed to have killed at least 12 people early Friday at a midnight showing of the new Batman movie in Aurora, a suburb of Denver. At least 58 other people were injured, nearly all of them by bullets but a few in other ways in the chaos, Oates said.

The American Presidency Project

Barack Obama

XLIV President of the United States: 2009 - present

Executive Order 13503 - Establishment of the White House Office of Urban Affairs

February 19, 2009

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, and in order to take a coordinated and comprehensive approach to developing and implementing an effective strategy concerning urban America, it is hereby ordered as follows:

Section 1. Policy. About 80 percent of Americans live in urban areas, and the economic health and social vitality of our urban communities are critically important to the prosperity and quality of life for Americans. Vibrant cities spawn innovation, economic growth, and cultural enrichment through the businesses, universities, and civic, cultural, religious, and nonprofit institutions they attract. Forward-looking policies that encourage wise investment and development in our urban areas will create employment and housing opportunities and make our country more competitive, prosperous, and strong. In the past, insufficient attention has been paid to the problems faced by urban areas and to coordinating the many Federal programs that affect our cities. A more comprehensive approach is needed, both to develop an effective strategy for urban America and to coordinate the actions of the many executive departments and agencies whose actions impact urban life.

Sec. 2. Establishment. There is established within the Executive Office of the President the White House Office of Urban Affairs (the "Office").

Sec. 3. Functions. The principal functions of the Office are, to the extent permitted by law:

(a) to provide leadership for and coordinate the development of the policy agenda for urban America across executive departments and agencies;

Manchurian Candidate The


But it will get worse and worse,
until every citizen in this country will have to stand up and be counted
to say whether they are on the side of right and freedom
or on the side of the Thomas Jordans of this country.
I will go with you to Washington, tomorrow, if you like,
and I will show you proof that this man stands for evil,
that he is evil.
That his whole life is devoted to undermining
everything that you and I and every freedom-minded American...
She won, of course.
She always does.
I could never beat her.
L-I still can't.
I wrote a letter...
Or she wrote it and I signed it - I can't even remember which.
It was a terrible, vile, disgusting letter.
The next day I enlisted in the army.
I n... I never saw her again.
God knows, Ben, I...
I'm not loveable,
but I loved her.
I did love her.
I do love her.
Come on, kid. It's time for you to call it a night.
Come on.
So this lousy brother-in-law of mine,
I say to him "You think you're a poker player?"
- "You ain't no poker player." - Beer, please.
So I says to him "My advice to you,
from the bottom of the heart: Don't play poker."
"If I was you, I'd get myself another line of action."
"Why don't you pass the time by playing a little solitaire?"
Give me a deck of cards, please.
When I get married to my old lady,
I got no idea that this guy comes in the same package,
that it's a package deal,
and for eleven long years, I got this crumb tied around my neck.
And believe me, it's no bargain. You got no idea...
Beer, please.
Sorry I'm late, kid. Got held up in traffic, you know.
So I says to him "Do me a favour."
"Why don't you go and take yourself a cab
and go up to Central Park and go jump in the lake?"
Hey! Raymond!
Raymond!
Get out of there!
What are you doing?!
- Hi, Ben. - What's the matter with you?
I don't know.
I was with you at the bar and you were playing solitaire. Do you remember that?
You bolted out, jumped in a cab, drove here and jumped into the water!

Barcelona





Just after and probably only a minute or a few minutes after I made that last web post the Destiny's Child song "Cater 2 U" started playing on the Comcast song channel I started monitoring about two days ago. That is the R&B channel and the description for that channel specifically mentions Beyonce.

I don't know what "Cater 2 U" is supposed to be about but it makes me feel nostalgic for the summer of 2004, and specifically 27 June 2004, when I completed that Ironman Coeur d'Alene triathlon course in Idaho. I will never again participate in the activity of that racketeering organization unless I am ordered to, and if so then I have to wonder what would be the point, but I long for those days when the world seemed almost normal despite the aggravation around me on a daily basis and the fact that I was in good enough physical condition to complete that course that day. That only real reason this song makes me think about that, other than it is in 2004, and this is trivial, is about the post-race food that was catered and I didn't really stay around for a lot of it anyway. I think about it too because of the element I watched tonight in the 2001 film "Bandits" where Bruce Willis was in the boxing ring and I think about how as a United States Marine in 1994 I was heavily training in that area and of how I always thought of how I could avoid gun battles if I was an adequate pugilist. Writing about it now I think again about thoughts a few weeks ago of an experience I have not written about before of how my theory of fighting with fugitives with my fists was a failure because I stepped into a takedown of a fugitive by a team that failed, while I was supposed to remain in my assigned position on the perimeter, and the fugitive slugged me and took my primary weapon and after I was knocked the ground I had to pull out my backup weapon and kill him before he could use my weapon to kill the other Deputy US Marshals he had fought off.

So anyway, I read more on the topic of that song and I have been trying to remember Barcelona. I spoke and wrote of Barcelona several time times in pre-2005 but I cannot remember much about that now other than I remember making a port of call there in 1989.

My nervous system is certainly all awry right now as I try to write this observation that is, as with it all, ultimately worthless.

Oh yeah, I just found some notes in my journal about Barcelona. I wrote several times, that notes reminded me, of how in Barcelona in November 1989, and that cruise in the Med in 1989, of how I wrote that I spent my time there either as a sailor working as Shore Patrol or when not assigned to Shore Patrol I was evading Shore Patrol.

USS Wainwright CG 28 - Mediterranean 1989



Recently I thought to purchase a copy of the cruise book for the USS Wainwright CG 28 of the ship's deployment to the Med in 1989 and 1990.

A cruise book is sort of similar to a high school class book in its format. There are photos of the people and the places.

The cruise book was easy to order from the USS Wainwright Veterans website. Presumably anybody can order a copy of it.

Today I got in the mail a CD-ROM that is the images of the pages from that actual cruise book from 1989 and 1990. I am referencing it now as a source for reports I intend to publish now and future.

Looking through it today on my computer I couldn't believe it. There is actually a photo of me in the cruise book. I had heard of them before but I never had a cruise book before.

The part that seems incredible looking at it now is that I just do not recall us having our photos taken for that book.

I guess it's possible, it's very possible that I simply do not now recall such a trivial detail. Another possibility is I was on the security drug during that time.

All the people in the CF Division are familiar, looking there at all our photos on page 24 of the cruise book. The CD-ROM application indicates page 22 but the image indicates page 24.

The faces are familiar but the names I had mostly forgotten.

Ensign Stephens. I remember him. He was an LDO, a former enlisted sailor as I recall. There's Senior Chief Boon.

FC1 Leaverton was nicknamed Doc. Every time I watch the DVD for the 1980 film "The Final Countdown" and there is that enlisted sailor on the radar scope who says "I lost the helo" I think of how his appearance is similar to Leaverton. I don't recall Leaverton's first name. As best I recall he reported on board the ship after I did. I vaguely recall seeing him sitting in his work space in the fire control radar and sitting in front of the radar screen.

In the opening pages of the cruise book is a summary of activity for the ship in previous years and I am referencing the timeframe I was serving onboard. The Wainwright returned 9 July 1988 to Charleston from Persian Gulf deployment. We deployed from Charleston to the Persian Gulf on 11 January 1988. We left for the Mediterranean Sea deployment on 12 October 1989.

Page 67 of the cruise book image has a two-page spread of the USS Wainwright CG-28 Inport Schedule for that Med cruise that began 12 October 1989. There are other listings after Monaco but I have not transcribed them here because Monaco is where I remember leaving the ship to fly back to the United States. So according to that list the ship left Monaco on 04 March 1990. The ship arrived in Monaco on 26 February 1990. I do not recall the day I left the ship but I guess I left on the 28th.

Post update: Something seems wrong with that list. The first listing makes no sense because that is the day the ship deployed. I remember distinctly that Barcelona was our first port call and I remember that because I thought we were going to arrive on the 2nd of November. Not sure of the accuracy of the other listings. Monaco must be accurate, as best I recall, but I don't know.

A Leap Ahead in Word Processing

October 12, 1989 RICHARD O'REILLY RICHARD O'REILLY is director of computer analysis for The Times

The most sophisticated word-processing programs available these days have moved far beyond mere words. They are document processors.

They are designed for production of finely printed pages complete with multiple type styles and sizes, as many graphics as you want, tables of data and multiple column layouts.

They don't offer as much page layout versatility as desktop publishing programs, but they are often actually more convenient to use since you can create, edit and format the documents in one program. With most desktop publishing software, you also need a word processing program to create and edit the text.

The ability to do all that with one program is the strength of the latest version of Microsoft's Word, version 5.0, priced at $450, which emphasizes document production with its list of new features. They include two ways to see on your screen what the final pages will look like.

One method is the "show layout mode" that allows you to see multicolumn layouts such as a newsletter or a screenplay. Text may be entered and edited in this mode, and you aren't required to have a computer that will display graphics to use it.

Incidentally, you can have several types of columns in Word. You can have evenly spaced parallel columns in which each column is a separate body of text, or columns in which the bottom of one column wraps automatically to the top of the next. You can have columns of unequal widths and columns of unequal lengths. The latter is good for scripts in which the name of a character is placed in one column and the dialogue spoken by the character goes into a longer column beside the name.

What you cannot see in the layout mode is the actual appearance of the various type sizes and styles that have been selected for the document.

There is another mode, called "print preview," that shows you the page on the screen just as it will look from the printer. If you have scanned photos or other graphic elements on the page, they will be shown as well. This feature, though, requires a graphics monitor to work.

Another enhancement makes it easier for a team of writers to compile and revise a document. Each can add annotations to the text, where they are treated as footnotes. A special reference code is placed in the body of the text to mark the area being commented upon and the comment is stored at the end of the page. The writer can then rewrite the text taking the comments into account. When the final revision is complete, all of the annotations can be removed with a single command.

If you create documents with fancy features such as headlines, multiple columns, graphic inserts and tables, they can be replicated in future updates or editions because Word controls formatting with a set of instructions stored in a "style sheet." Custom style sheets can be created and saved to define virtually any look that you want to give your documents.

Most lengthy documents start with, or ought to start with, an outline, and Word has outlining built in. It also includes a good thesaurus and spell-checking function.

Word has several kinds of help available. There is context-sensitive help, in which you get instructions pertaining to the task that you are performing. And there is a tutorial providing lessons that may be viewed on screen at any time.

Even though Microsoft is making a big push for graphically oriented software with its Windows program and the OS/2 operating system with Presentation Manager, the latest version of Word remains a text-oriented program. Thus, it is not a Windows application, but it will operate under either DOS or OS/2. Under OS/2, multiple Word editing sessions can run simultaneously. (There is an earlier graphics version of Word for the Macintosh, but it does not match the features of the PC version.)

Word for the PC has a unique look with a three-line menu of program options that sits across the bottom of the screen. Not all of its options are listed on that menu, however. Many functions are assigned to the PC's 10 function keys, often in combination with other keys. Still others are available by pressing the "alt" or "control" keys plus other keys. There are keyboard templates to help guide the user.

Word is a good choice for word processing if you really need to use some of its advance features--spreadsheet linking, multiple columns on a page, index and table of contents creation, footnoting, alphabetical or numerical sorting of lines or items in a data table.

A Leap Ahead in Word Processing

October 12, 1989 RICHARD O'REILLY RICHARD O'REILLY is director of computer analysis for The Times

One of the most difficult word-processing tasks is keeping the columns of words and numbers in a table properly aligned while creating and editing the table. Word takes care of that with a variety of tab stops that act as reference point markers within each line of a document. Along with basic tab and decimal tab markers (to align numbers around decimals), Word adds special tabs to align text or numbers flush with the left or right side of the column, or to center it in the column. Special "leader" characters also can be defined so that any or all items in a table will be separated by dotted or dashed lines.

The latest version is a marked improvement over Word 4.0, but some awkwardness remains. For instance, if you enter menu selections in the wrong order, you end up back at the beginning and have to start over.

No doubt it is asking too much to expect a program that is very flexible and has many complex features to also be simple to learn and use well.

But it is fair for buyers to ask themselves whether they need all of the features such a program offers or if a less complex, less capable package will fit their needs.

MICROSOFT WORD 5.0

Microsoft Word 5.0 is a document-processing program. Its list price is $450.

Features: Integrated outlining, spelling checker and thesaurus. Multiple column formats, table formats, print previewing and annotations by multiple editors. Automatic creation of tables of contents, indexes and footnotes. Files linked to spreadsheets are automatically updated. Links to database mailing lists. Automatic document saving at timed intervals. Use with more than 200 printers.

Requirements: IBM or compatible computer with MS-DOS or OS/2 operating system, at least 384 kilobytes of memory and two floppy drives or, preferably, a hard disk. Graphics display required to preview pages.

Probable cause

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In United States criminal law, probable cause is the standard by which persons acting under the color of law has the grounds to obtain a warrant for, or as an exception to the warrant requirements for, making an arrest or conducting a personal or property search, etc. when criminal charges are being considered. It is also used to refer to the standard to which a grand jury believes that a crime has been committed in conjunction with a preponderance of the evidence. This term comes from the Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution:

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

"Probable" in this case may relate to actual statistical probability, or to a general standard of common behavior and customs.

Steven Sinofsky, Steve Ballmer, Julie Larson-Green, and Michael Angiulo: Windows 8 Launch

Posted October 25, 2012 By

Editor’s Note – October 25, 2012 –

Clarification to the remarks below: Microsoft collaborated with PC makers Asus, Lenovo, Dell and Samsung.

STEVEN SINOFSKY: Welcome, everyone, to Windows 8. We are so happy to be here today and to celebrate the global availability of a new era of Windows and Windows-powered PCs.

We’d like to welcome all of you here today in New York City from all the major PC manufacturers, hardware and software developers, and of course those of us live or streamed.

There’s so much excitement and potential for the future of computing to improve how we work, learn, and entertain.

Windows 8 is a major milestone in the evolution and the revolution of computing. Having surpassed over a billion people using Windows, it is now that we’re looking forward to the next billion.

We want to start today with where we are with Windows. Three years ago this week, our industry collectively released Windows 7. Since that time, Windows 7 has become the most successful, widely used, and widely praised OS ever. Together with PC makers, our industry has seen unprecedented adoption of Windows 7 and the technology and services that make up the complete Windows experience.

As of today, we’re pleased to share with you that Windows 7 has sold over 670 million licenses to businesses and consumers. (Applause.)

In fact, Windows 7 has seen the fastest adoption of any OS in business ever. As of today, more than half of the enterprises have deployed Windows 7, a demonstration of the reliability, security, and business readiness of the Windows platform.

Windows 7 was the first release of Windows to build on the use of cloud services as an important part of the overall experience. These Windows services are the most widely used, scalable cloud services available globally.

Let me just give you an example. SkyDrive has over 200 million customers storing data in their free SkyDrive. It’s accessible from PCs, Web browsers, mobile devices, your Windows Phone, everywhere. Today, SkyDrive has 11 billion photos, 550 million documents, storing over 14 petabytes of data, and, every month, two petabytes of data are added.

Windows 7 and services such as SkyDrive, Outlook.com, Skype, and more form the foundation upon which we began the creation of Windows 8. We know starting from the foundation as robust and available as that has many, many advantages.

You know, as familiar and productive as Windows 7 is for customers today, the world that led to Windows 7 began back in the early 1990s when familiar concepts like the Start menu were first conceived. Familiar today, but completely new when it was first released. That technology world was so very different than the world we experience each and every day.

Looking back, we see a world that was without the Internet, without email, without smartphones, no test messages, no digital cameras. We lived in caves. (Laughter.) It was a world we could hardly imagine today.

You know, our PCs were so remarkably different. We were tethered to a 15-inch CRT monitor. It showed less on that screen than the phone on our pocket does today and had 1/100th the storage. Even something as basic as networking was a luxury for most of us.

You know, today the world is very different. You know, we’re connected all the time. Our PCs used to be about managing files, and today we know that people and communication are the center of all of our activities. Work and play are intertwined seamlessly as you move between them. The stuff that we create and consume is not just on PCs, but also cloud connected. That clunky desktop PC has been replaced by one or more, more sleek, more powerful, more mobile PCs with vastly more storage and computing at a fraction of the price.

In creating Windows 8, we shunned the incremental. We boldly re-imagined Windows. From the chip set to the experience, Windows 8 is the next generation of Windows, computing for the next billion people.

Creating a release of Windows is a unique product development journey. No product is used by so many people and developed with such a breadth of global participation. This transparency and openness is an important part of how we approached the key partnerships across thousands of companies and millions of people involved in our industry.

From the earliest demonstrations of Windows, we showed off the bare CPU boards running ARM processors. New user interface long before it was even done. And we’ve worked to re-imagine Windows for this new era and invited participation in the process.

We’ve had 16 million installations of the prerelease builds of Windows. Developers have been actively engaged in learning how to create new types of apps for Windows 8 since our BUILD conference a year ago.

We’ve forged unique collaborations with hardware, software, and peripheral companies to bring this re-imagined Windows to market.

We’ve even blogged about the development of Windows 8. Some of you might have read the 650 pages of blogs we’ve done detailing our bold approach.

And at the same time, building Windows, especially such a bold release of Windows, reminds us of the responsibility we have for so many. So many rely on Windows in so many ways. We’re incredibly humbled by that responsibility. It’s a big part of how we design and how we approach building Windows.

So it is today with great pride that we unveil this new generation of Windows. Starting at 12:01 a.m. local time worldwide, the next era of Windows computing begins.

Barack Obama

XLIV President of the United States: 2009 - present

Remarks to Federal Bureau of Investigation Employees

April 28, 2009

Good afternoon, everybody. Well, it is a good excuse for you to be outside on a nice day. And it is a great honor to be here with the men and women of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Now, I am grateful to the FBI for the T-shirts, for the teddy bear for the girls; even though we've kept our promise on the dog, I wouldn't want to come home emptyhanded. [Laughter]

I want to thank your outstanding Director, Robert Mueller--[applause]--not just for the introduction, but because Bob has led the Bureau during incredibly challenging times. He became only the sixth Director of the FBI just 1 week before the 9/11 attacks, and since then he has worked as hard as anybody to prevent additional attacks and to carry out the FBI's enormous responsibilities. So I appreciate him, and I appreciate all of you. Thank you.

So last summer, the FBI celebrated its 100th anniversary. I think it's safe to say that it has been an eventful century for the Bureau. Back in 1908--oh, did somebody faint? Do we have a EMT here? Right down here. Just give him a little bit of space. This happened during my political campaign all the time. I was talking too long, people would be falling out every which way. [Laughter] They're usually fine, they just need a little bit of air and a little bit of water. Right down here, right in the middle. Not you--[laughter]--you're doing fine. Right in here. All right, I think they'll be all right.

So back in 1908 there were just 34 Special Agents reporting to Theodore Roosevelt's Attorney General. Today, there are over 30,000 men and women who work for the FBI. Back in 1908, those agents worked out of one building here in Washington. And today, you work here at FBI headquarters and at field offices across America and in countries around the world.

So much has changed in the last 100 years. Thank God for change. And part of what makes the FBI so unique is its ability to adapt to an ever-changing world. Back in 1908, even the most imaginative of minds would have struggled to anticipate all of the challenges that would confront the Bureau: from bank robbers to bootleggers, from hate crimes to white-collar criminals, from public corruption to counterintelligence, from international terrorism to cyber threats.

The challenges of the 21st century have called on us to think anew, and to act anew. And in recent years, the Bureau has undergone a profound transformation to keep pace. With the attacks of 9/11, your mission became focused more than ever before on prevention, so that we have the capacity to uncover terrorist plots before they take hold. With the spread of new technologies, you increasingly confront adversaries in unconventional areas, from transnational networks to cyber crimes and espionage. And through it all, you must continue to stay one step ahead of all who step outside of the law.

And I know that change means much more than moving around some boxes on an organizational chart. You've set new priorities. You've developed new capabilities. You're working to use new technologies and teach new skills. And because these challenges cross borders, both seen and unseen, you've developed new partnerships abroad, while sharing information more effectively with law enforcement here at home.

This is a tough business, but it is essential to protecting our country. Because in the end, it's your hard work that makes the difference: your decisions, your analysis, your action. Because of you, the men and women of the FBI , the American people are safer, and our country is stronger. For that, you have my personal gratitude, but you also have the thanks of a grateful nation.

So I know that much has changed in the last 100 years. But as your Director said, I know that some things have remained constant. That starts with the values that we have sworn to uphold: liberty and equality, opportunity, and the rule of law. That's the foundation upon which America is built. That's the purpose that has always guided our power. And that is why we must always reject as the false--as false choices the choice between our security and our ideals.

In so many ways, the FBI is a unique institution. You're unique because the FBI is both an intelligence agency and a law enforcement agency. You must both prevent danger and help us pursue those who carry it out. You protect us and you protect the civil liberties that we cherish.

But after all, that is why America is unique, because of that fundamental belief that we are committed both to our security and to the rule of law, because of that hard-earned truth that we are always stronger when we act in concert with our most deeply held values.

I have no illusions that this is simple or easy. Many of you made enormous sacrifices and are incredibly dedicated. Living our values means that we must hold ourselves to higher standard than our enemies. We face a long struggle against a determined adversary. We know that Al Qaida is not constrained by a constitution or by allegiance to anything other than a hateful ideology and a determination to kill as many innocents as possible. But what makes the United States of America so special is precisely the fact that we are willing to uphold our values and our ideals not just when it's easy, but when it's hard. We've been called to serve in such a time.

And I have to say that I am heartened but what I see here today. Each of you has made the decision to serve your country, and you are dong so at a critical time. And you know, none of us can know with certain what the future will hold. But I do know that the FBI can and will continue to adapt to new dangers, that you will be critical in leading the way in keeping this country safe. And we are counting on you.

There's much to celebrate from the FBI's first 100 days [years].8 We remember notorious criminals who have been caught, and public corruption that has been ended, and civil rights that have been protected, and terrorist plots that have been uncovered. None of that would have been possible without the work of men and women like you, and we're calling on you again.

Behind me is the motto that you carry forward and that your Director alluded to: "Fidelity, Bravery, and Integrity." These are more than words etched into a building; they're a signal of the character of the men and women who work here. And I am confident that if you stay true to those words, no matter what challenge may come our way, we'll be able to look back a hundred years from now with the satisfaction that you advanced the cause of America's security and America's ideals in your time. What an enormous gift that is to give back to your country.

Thank you, God Bless you, and God Bless the United States of America.

Note: The President spoke at 11:33 a.m. at the J. Edgar Hoover FBI Building.

XLIV President of the United States: 2009 - present

Remarks at a Swearing-In Ceremony for Kathleen Sebelius as Secretary of Health and Human Services

April 28, 2009

The President. Congratulations, Madam Secretary.

Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius. Thank you, sir.

The President. Here we go. We're just going to make a brief statement. I am thrilled to have Kathleen Sebelius as my new Secretary of Health and Human Services.

Obviously, we have a lot to do to make sure that health care is affordable for the American people, to deal with critical issues like food safety. But we wanted to swear her in right away because we've got a significant public health challenge that requires her immediate attention, and that is the H1N1 flu outbreak that we've seen initially in Mexico and we now see over a dozen cases here in the United States.

It is something that we have to monitor very carefully. The officials who have been in charge, including the Acting Director at the CDC, those at Department of Homeland Security, have done an outstanding job, a superb job, in managing the situation up to this point.

But we need all hands on deck, and so I am thrilled that we have Secretary Sebelius taking the reins. She is going to be immediately briefed on the issues that we're working on right now. I expect her to hit the ground running, and I have every confidence that given her experience as a Governor who's managed crises before, who's worked on public health issues since she's been in public life, she is the right person at the right time for the job.

So congratulations. We are thrilled, and you are going to do a great job.

Secretary Sebelius. Thank you, sir. Honored to serve.

The President. Thank you.

All right, thanks, guys.

Note: The President spoke at 8:02 p.m. in the Oval Office at the White House.

XXXIII President of the United States: 1945-1953

189 - Memorandum and Statement of Policy on the Need for Industrial Dispersion.

August 10, 1951

To the Heads of Executive Departments and Agencies:

There is hereby promulgated, effective immediately, the attached Industrial Dispersion Policy which I have approved on the recommendation of the Chairman of the National Security Resources Board, the Director of the Office of Defense Mobilization, and the Chairman of the Munitions Board.

This policy shall be adhered to by all Departments and Agencies with respect to programs under their control.

The Director of the Office of Defense Mobilization, in carrying out his task of directing, controlling, and coordinating all mobilization activities of the Executive Branch of the Government, shall establish general standards with respect to dispersal, which shall be followed in the granting of certificates of necessity, in the allocation of critical materials for construction purposes, and in the making of emergency loans growing out of defense production.

I shall look to the Chairman of the National Security Resources Board to keep me advised on the progress of this program.

HARRY S. TRUMAN

STATEMENT OF POLICY ON INDUSTRIAL
DISPERSION

The strength of our national defense and in fact our continued existence as a free nation depend largely upon our industrial capacity. The core of this capacity, so essential to our survival, lies within a relatively few densely built up centers.

Since 1945 we have experienced a period of unprecedented industrial expansion, but, except for a few examples, there has been no pronounced trend away from these concentrations. Some eighteen billions in new plants and equipment were spent annually during the past 4 years, largely in areas already highly industrialized.

Although we are increasing our defense efforts, the danger of atomic attack grows and demands that new and more positive policies be put into effect to obtain added security for our industrial establishment without jeopardizing its productive efficiency.

In September 1948 the Government, through the National Security Resources Board, issued a report, "National Security Factors in Industrial Location." The report stressed the fact that dense agglomerations of industrial plants were inviting targets for the enemy and that plants separated in space would better survive an atomic attack.

These general conclusions are as sound today as they were 3 years ago. On these first principles of security our basic policy still must rest.

Since publication of this report, several factors have added to the urgency of the problem:

1. The evidence that Russia had a successful atomic explosion.

2. The probability that a strong enemy air attack could penetrate any defenses.

3. The outbreak of hostilities in Asia as an indication of the semi-peace conditions under which we are living.

Obviously, in the light of the above, what was, in 1948, a set of desirable objectives, is today a subject of major concern and one vital to our national security.

It is recognized that the major centers of industrial production have become highly integrated and that a part of their efficiency is due to their concentration. A dispersion policy to be effective and realistic must not be allowed to cripple the efficiency and productivity of our established industries, lest the remedy become worse than the ill. Our policy, therefore, must be directed mainly toward the dispersal of new and expanding industries.

Sites which meet dispersion security standards can be found in local marketing areas adjacent to industrial or metropolitan districts in all sections of the country.

Thus, this policy can be made to fit the economic and social pattern of any part of the country.

The fullest cooperation of industry, labor, and local and State governments, together with all of the measures which the Federal Government can take, will be needed to alleviate the present situation. With the necessary technical guidance as well as the positive inducements which we will give, much can be accomplished.

All departments and agencies of the Government concerned with this problem will be called upon in carrying out a coordinated policy leading to effective industrial dispersal within the concepts described above.

To this effect, the following measures will be taken:

1. To the greatest extent practicable, certificates of necessity, allocations of critical materials for construction purposes, and emergency loans growing out of defense production will be confined to facilities which meet satisfactory standards of dispersal.

2. Primary consideration to dispersal factors will be given in locating facilities built by the Federal Government.

3. Defense contracts will be awarded, and planning under Department of Defense production allocation programs will be conducted in such a manner as to make maximum use of facilities located in dispersed sites.

The following events occurred in February 1910:


February 19, 1910 (Saturday)


Don Quichotte an opera by Jules Massenet, based on Miguel de Cervantes' Don Quixote, was presented for the first time.

Mary Mallon, the disease carrier infamously known as "Typhoid Mary", was released from her confinement at the North Brother Island Hospital, when the New York City health department announced that disease carriers would no longer be held in isolation. Over the protests of health inspector George Soper, who had traced the spread of typhoid to places where Mallon worked as a cook, she was released. Mallon was returned to isolation on North Brother Island on March 27, 1915, where she remained until her death in 1938.

The True Story of Typhoid Mary

She may be the most famous medical patient in US history who was never sick. "Typhoid Mary" infected at least 45 people in New York City and killed at least 3, and also touched off a legal battle that still resonates today. Here is her story.

In 1906, a wealthy Wall Street banker named Charles Henry Warren rented a house on the beach at Oyster Bay, Long Island, to take his family for vacation. It was at first a typical family summer outing, with afternoons on the beach and evenings inside at the beach house, where servants waited on them and met their every need.

Then, on August 27, one of Warren's daughters developed a fever, coughing, stomach pains and headache. She was diagnosed with typhoid fever. For many years, typhoid, which was spread through contaminated food and water, had been a constant presence in American cities, killing thousands of Americans every year, particularly children. In the late 19th century, large cities like New York installed sewer systems, which made conditions more sanitary and sharply cut the number of typhoid cases. So although a case of typhoid in the wealthy area of Oyster Bay was unusual, it was not unexpected.

But then something odd happened. Within a week, Mrs Warren was also sickened with symptoms of typhoid fever. Then two maids who worked in the guest house. Then the gardener, and then another of Warren's daughters. In all, six of the eleven people in the house were stricken with typhoid fever.

Now, the owner of the beach house, George Thompson, had a problem. It was apparent that the source of the infection was somewhere in the house, and if he did not find it and eliminate it, he would never be able to make a livelihood again by renting out the house. So he hired a private health engineer named George Soper, who had already worked on other typhoid outbreaks. After several months of examining the house for typhoid bacteria, including its water supply and plumbing system, Soper's suspicions fell on a 35-year old servant who had been hired that summer as the cook--an Irish immigrant named Mary Mallon. Soper noticed that three weeks after the initial cases of typhoid, Mary had left for another job--and the typhoid outbreak at Oyster Bay stopped as soon as she left. With some investigation, Soper checked into Mary Mallon's past employment record, and found that between 1900 and 1907 she had worked as a cook at 7 different places, and 22 cases of typhoid had appeared in those homes (in one instance, 7 of the 8 people in the house got sick; in another case it was 10 out of 11). One young woman who worked as a laundress in one of the houses died of typhoid.

Since Mary herself had never been sick or exhibited any symptoms of typhoid, Soper suspected that she was a "carrier", a person who though infected with the bacteria, does not develop the disease but still carries the live pathogen and sheds it into the environment to infect others. To be certain, Soper needed to test samples of Mary's blood and feces for signs of the bacteria.

Soper managed to track Mary Mallon down, and found her working as a cook in the family home of New Yorker Walter Bower, and visited the house in March 1907. As gently as possible, he told Mary Mallon that he suspected she was a carrier of typhus, and asked if he could obtain a blood and stool sample. Mallon indignantly replied that she was not sick and could not be infecting anyone, and when Soper continued to ask for samples, she grabbed a meat fork from the kitchen counter and threatened to skewer him with it. Soper beat a hasty retreat. Upon learning where Mary lived, Soper tried again, this time accompanied by a local doctor, but Mary once again became enraged, ordered them to leave her house, and shouted expletives at them as they left.

Soper now went to the New York City Health Department, which, after reviewing Soper's evidence, agreed that a test was needed. A local health inspector was sent to Mary Mallon's house, and when he was refused entry, he returned with five policemen. Mary stabbed at one of them with a fork and ran off, and was found hiding in her neighbor's closet and taken into custody.

Against her will, Mary Mallon was taken by ambulance to the Willard Parker Hospital, where, despite continuous protests that she had never been sick and did not have typhoid, blood and stool samples were taken from her. When the tests came back positive for typhoid bacteria, she was taken to a cottage on the grounds of Riverside Hospital, on North Brother Island in the East River, which was converted into an isolation ward for her. She was kept there for the next two years.

In effect, Mary Mallon had been incarcerated in virtual solitary confinement, without any charges or trial and without having committed any crime, and there were serious questions about the legality of her involuntary exile. She kept up a constant barrage of letters to city officials protesting her isolation. "I never had typhoid in my life", one of her letters thundered, "and have always been healthy. Why should I be banished like a leper and compelled to live in solitary confinement with only a dog for a companion?" Every few days, city health officials tested her feces for typhoid bacteria--they got positive results in 120 of 163 samples. Mary, meanwhile, was sending several of her own stool samples to private doctors at her own expense--and they all came back negative. Mary sued the city in an attempt to gain her freedom, arguing that her de facto incarceration was entirely illegal, that she was not sick, had never been sick, and carried no typhoid germs.

In 1909, a lawyer filed a writ of habeus corpus on Mary's behalf with the New York Supreme Court. The city argued that, as a carrier of typhoid, Mary Mallon was a danger to the public and had to be confined and isolated as a matter of public health. Mallon, who was quickly dubbed "Typhoid Mary" by the press, argued to the court, "This contention that I am a perpetual menace in the spread of typhoid germs is not true. My own doctors say I have no typhoid germs. I am an innocent human being. I have committed no crime and I am treated like an outcast--a criminal. It is unjust, outrageous, uncivilized. It seems incredible that in a Christian community a defenseless woman can be treated in this manner." The Court ruled in favor of the city, declared that Mary Mallon presented a public health danger, and ordered her returned to the isolation ward on North Brother Island.

A year later, a new public health commissioner was appointed for New York City, and he was disturbed by the implications of involuntarily locking up a young woman who had committed no crime, in solitary confinement, presumably for the rest of her life. So he arranged to release Mary Mallon, on the condition that she never worked as a cook again. Mary went free on February 19, 1910.

Some historians have concluded that Mary Mallon, who had always insisted that she was not sick and could not infect others, had never really intended to live up to that agreement. Others have noted that she simply had no choice--as an uneducated Irish immigrant woman, her choices of occupation were limited, and the skilled position of "cook" paid far more than any other job she was likely to get. So what happened next was, perhaps, inevitable.

In January 1915, some five years after Mary Mallon left her isolation ward, an outbreak of typhoid fever struck at the Sloane Maternity Hospital in New York City. Twenty-five patients and staff members became sick with typhoid. Two people died. Health investigators looking for the source of infection soon focused on the hospital's kitchen, where a woman named "Mrs Brown" worked as a cook. "Mrs Brown", the investigators soon discovered, was actually Mary Mallon.

Once again, she was taken into custody and was returned to her old isolation ward on North Brother Island. Although she still wrote protest letters to everyone she could think of, this time "Typhoid Mary" found no public sympathy--she had known that she was carrying typhoid, had agreed to not work where she would be a health danger to the public, and had done so anyway under a false name. She would now remain exiled on North Brother Island for her remaining 23 years.

United States Senators Kelly Ayotte, Saxby Chambliss, Lindsey Graham, and John McCain, and Representative Peter T. King, suggested that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, a U.S. citizen, should be tried as an unlawful enemy combatant rather than as a criminal, potentially preventing him from obtaining legal counsel. Other sources, including Alan Dershowitz, a prominent American legal scholar and lawyer, said that doing so would be illegal and would jeopardize the prosecution. The government decided to try Dzhokhar in the federal criminal court system and not as an enemy combatant.

Dzhokhar was questioned for 16 hours by investigators but stopped communicating with them on the night of April 22 after Judge Marianne Bowler read him a Miranda warning. Dzhokhar had not previously been given a Miranda warning, as federal law enforcement officials invoked the warning's public safety exception. This raised doubts whether the suspect's statements during this investigation would be admissible as evidence and led to a debate surrounding Miranda rights.

Charges and detention

On April 22, 2013, formal criminal charges were brought against Dzhokhar Tsarnaev in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts during a bedside hearing while he was hospitalized. He was charged with use of a weapon of mass destruction, and with malicious destruction of property resulting in death.

What do we really fear? The epidemiological characteristics of Ebola and our preparedness

Moran Ki

Abstract.

Ebola virus disease (hereafter Ebola) has a high fatality rate; currently lacks a treatment or vaccine with proven safety and efficacy, and thus many people fear this infection. As of August 13, 2014, 2,127 patients across four West African countries have been infected with the Ebola virus over the past nine months. Among these patients, approximately 1 in 2 has subsequently died from the disease. In response, the World Health Organization has declared the Ebola outbreak in West Africa to be a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. However, Ebola is only transmitted by patients who already present symptoms of the disease, and infection only occurs upon direct contact with the blood or body fluids of an Ebola patient. Consequently, transmission of the outbreak can be contained through careful monitoring for fever among persons who have visited, or come into contact with persons from, the site of the outbreak. Thus, patients suspected of presenting symptoms characteristic of Ebola should be quarantined. To date, South Korea is not equipped with the special containment clinical units and biosafety level 4 facilities required to contain the outbreak of a fatal virus disease, such as Ebola. Therefore, it is necessary for South Korea to make strategies to the outbreak by using present facilities as quickly as possible. It is also imperative that the government establish suitable communication with its citizens to prevent the spread of uninformed fear and anxiety regarding the Ebola outbreak.

The current Ebola epidemic has garnered wide media attention throughout the world. As a result, many people fear that the disease, which is generally limited to the African continent, may cause an outbreak in their local community at any given moment.

The present paper will examine the epidemiological characteristics of Ebola, our level of preparedness, and discuss what we fear.

Ebola is a viral disease. Although it has previously been referred to as “Ebola hemorrhagic fever,” some Ebola patients did not present hemorrhage, and thus, it is now referred to as Ebola virus disease. The first known Ebola patient was a 44-year old man who had managed the construction of a school in northern Zaire (currently the Democratic Republic of Congo, DRC). On August 26, 1976, the patient presented at a hospital with a high fever. He received an injection of chloroquine for presumptive malaria and had a clinical remission of his symptoms the next four days. On the sixth day, the patient had a fever of 39.2°C and began to hemorrhage. On September 8 (the 14th day), the patient died with severe hemorrhage. For the following months, until late-October, there was an outbreak of Ebola, with 280 of the 318 patients subsequently dying from the disease

Failed Inventions

Aired Wednesday 10:00 PM Jan 02, 2002 on The History Channel

Dreamers and schemers try an odd assortment of flawed ideas for inventions. Start with the cars--cars that fly, cars that float, cars with jet engines. That's just the tip of the iceberg. Here are homes that look like nothing you've ever seen and clothes too strange for even the most radical fashion runway, including rocket belts and radium-infused garments. Some of these creations were too far ahead of their time, and others were just plain bad ideas, but there's a fascinating tale behind each one, and FAILED INVENTIONS celebrates those occasions when necessity mothers a notion that only its creator could love.

Independent counsel investigation


A much-quoted statement from Clinton's grand jury testimony showed him questioning the precise use of the word "is." Contending that his statement that "there's nothing going on between us" had been truthful because he had no ongoing relationship with Lewinsky at the time he was questioned, Clinton said, "It depends upon what the meaning of the word 'is' is.

In Liberia, Home Deaths Spread Circle of Ebola Contagion

By NORIMITSU ONISHI SEPT. 24, 2014

MONROVIA, Liberia — The family of the sick man, who had endured Ebola’s telltale symptoms for six days, took him by taxi to treatment centers here in the capital twice, only to be turned back at the gate each time for lack of beds. He died at home, his arms thrashing violently and blood spewing out his mouth, in front of his sons.

“We had to carry him home two times because they could do nothing for us,” said Eric Gweah, 25, as a team of body collectors came to retrieve the corpse of his father, Ofori Gweah, 62. “The only thing the government can do is come for bodies. They are killing us.”

So many Ebola victims are dying at home because of the severe shortage of treatment centers here in Monrovia, Liberia’s capital, that they are infecting family members, neighbors and others in a ballooning circle of contagion.

Only 18 percent of Ebola patients in Liberia are being cared for in hospitals or other settings that reduce the risk of transmission by isolating them from the rest of the population, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Unless that rate reaches 70 percent, the center predicted this week, Ebola cases will keep soaring.

In its worst-case estimate, Liberia and Sierra Leone, two of the three West African nations hit hardest by the outbreak, could face 1.4 million infections by Jan. 20 — more than 10 percent of their combined populations of about 10.3 million.

In the coming weeks, the United States military will try to overhaul the fight against Ebola in Liberia, home to 1,580 of the 2,800 Ebola deaths so far recorded in West Africa. The 3,000-strong American mission will not treat patients, but will build as many as 17 treatment centers, with a total of 1,700 beds, and try to train 500 health workers a week.

But building the centers is expected to take weeks and it is unclear who will run them, especially since the disease has decimated Liberia’s already weak health care system and the fear of Ebola has long kept many international aid workers away.

“I’ve worked in many crises for more than 20 years, and it’s the first time I can see a situation that nobody wants to come,” said Jean-Pierre Veyrenche, who is heading the World Health Organization’s efforts to build treatment centers here. “There’s plenty of money, so that’s not the issue.”

“People are afraid to come — that’s it,” he added.

With treatment beds overflowing, the government is often left to simply pick up the bodies of the dead. As its six teams of body collectors crisscross this capital of 1.5 million people, navigating cratered streets left over from the 14-year civil war that ended in 2003, they encounter a city that is likely to remain at the mercy of Ebola for weeks, perhaps months.

Every day, each team retrieves a half-dozen to a couple of dozen bodies, delivering them to a crematorium at the end of the day.

The body collectors who came to pick up Mr. Gweah had descended to the compound where he lived four times in the past four weeks, down a steep cliff to a riverside area called Rockspring Valley. Each week, they had picked up a body that passed on the Ebola virus to the next person, and now Mr. Gweah’s was the fifth body. The crowd, seething beneath a sky of low clouds, erupted in anger.

“If the government can’t work it out, let them give it up,” said Marvin Gweah, 28, another son. “Let the international community handle this.”

Five body collectors in full protective suits clambered up the cliff in the rain, carrying his father’s body in a black plastic bag, resting to readjust their grip, and steadying themselves on the slippery path. Eric Gweah, his face twisted in anguish, led the way, shrieking “Papa!” and throwing his hands up in the air, nearly losing his footing.

“Stand up! Stand up!” a woman following the body collectors shouted at another woman who had fainted. A cacophony of wailing and sobbing rose as all of Rockspring Valley below seemed to sway in grief.

A new 120-bed treatment center, Island Clinic, operated by Liberian health workers under the W.H.O., opened here on Sunday, bringing Liberia’s total beds to 450. The agency is hoping to open two additional centers with a total of 400 beds here in the capital over the next month, but is unable to find international workers to operate them, Mr. Veyrenche said.

Last week in Bong County, in central Liberia, the International Medical Corps began operating a treatment center built by Save the Children. The Medical Corps and Doctors Without Borders are the only international organizations operating treatment centers in Liberia.

Sean Casey, the leader of the International Medical Corps in Liberia, said he hoped to increase the center’s current capacity of 10 beds to 70 beds over the next six weeks. But because of the fear of Ebola and the time commitment required of foreign volunteers, the organization has been unable to draw doctors and nurses from its usual pool, he said. The organization is recruiting health workers for the first time in the Philippines, Jordan and Ethiopia.

Like most experts here, Mr. Casey was skeptical of the American military’s plans to find and train 500 health workers a week.

“It took us a few weeks to just open 10 beds,” he said. “It worries me that some of their facilities will be open before they’re ready.”

Here in Monrovia, the first city to face Ebola’s full onslaught since the virus was discovered in 1976, entire families are dying at home, unable to get a ride in one of the city’s few ambulances or gain admission to overcrowded treatment or holding centers.

“We came here for the husband last week, we’re back today for the wife, and maybe next week we’ll be back for the children,” said Alexander Nyanti, 23, a body collector who was picking up the corpse of Lorpu David, 30, in a central Monrovia neighborhood off Gurley Street.

A week earlier, his team visited the same house to retrieve the body of her husband, Sam David, the first Ebola death in that community. The couple shared one room with their two children and the wife’s younger sister.

“The little boy is not feeling all right,” John Sackie, the community’s chairman, said as four collectors pulled Ms. David out of a dark room in the back of the house, each grasping a limb.

Others from the community may have been exposed. Teddy Momo, 36, the husband’s nephew, said he had taken the ailing Ms. David to an Ebola treatment center, riding in the front passenger seat of a taxi as Ms. David shared the back with her two children and sister.

Turned away because of a lack of beds, they took the taxi back to Gurley Street. But Ms. David slipped and hit her chin on a rocky path leading to her house; a neighbor carried her home, where she died immediately, Mr. Momo said.

Even if there were enough treatment centers, not all families would send their sick relatives to them. Deeply distrustful of the government and fearful of becoming social outcasts, families often lie about the cause of death, furthering the contagion throughout their communities.

In front of the gate at the John F. Kennedy Medical Center’s maternity ward, a pregnant woman lay dead in the back seat of a taxi. She had died during labor and did not suffer from Ebola, her family insisted. But a hospital worker said the woman had been bleeding from her mouth, so she had been turned away from the maternity ward. When the body collectors finally opened the taxi door, they found that she had vomited blood.

Lyndon B. Johnson

XXXVI President of the United States: 1963-1969

252 - Statement by the President on the Minting of Silver Dollars.

May 15, 1965

LAST YEAR the Congress appropriated $600,000 to the Mint for the manufacture of 45 million silver dollars.

The minting of these silver dollars was necessarily postponed while the Mint devoted its facilities to the production of other coins to overcome the coin shortage that developed in 1963-64.

This course was followed because it is possible to use paper currency in place of silver dollars, but there is no substitute for smaller coin.

It has always been my intention to carry out the will of Congress as soon as feasible. Substantial progress has now been made in bringing the supply of small coin into line with demand. Consequently, I have directed the Mint to proceed with the making of silver dollars, up to the amount authorized by the Congress, during the remainder of the current fiscal year, ending June 30.

They will be distributed in the areas of the country where the silver dollar has traditionally been used as a medium of exchange.

Back in the year 2003 I wrote a letter on my computer at home and I printed it out on to paper and I put that letter in a stamped envelope for the postal service and I sent that letter through the United States Postal Service. I had the envelope of the letter addressed specifically to the Chief of [ Naval ] Operations United States Navy and I referenced a special projects branch I had found on the internet.

I wrote about a computer program I created for the guided missile computer complex system that would transfer memory from one of the computers to the other when we were in the Persian Gulf in 1988. We had two identical systems in place. They were twins you could say. The transfer of code was problematic and the solution was not obvious.

I mailed the letter to the Chief of Operations United States Navy and told them I should have received the Silver Star.
