At Tuesday night's debate, the presidential candidates were asked a question that I believe deserves much more attention.
"BROKAW: Sen. McCain, for you, we have our first question from the Internet tonight. A child of the Depression, 78-year-old Fiora from Chicago.
Since World War II, we have never been asked to sacrifice anything to help our country, except the blood of our heroic men and women. As president, what sacrifices — sacrifices will you ask every American to make to help restore the American dream and to get out of the economic morass that we're now in?"
In my 2006 essay The Progressive Trinity http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/features/2006/0606.colvin.html, I wrote:
"Because Public Service is fundamentally based upon unselfish efforts for the benefit of all of us, that quality must be embodied in the public leader. Especially so for political leaders because we have no choice but to be ruled by them until they leave office.
We have seen people become leaders because they are master manipulators, or sheer opportunists, or charismatic salesmen, or anointed by the oligarchy of wealth and influence that works behind the scenes. We try, as best we can, to project our desires for statesmanship and compassion and wisdom onto the presidents and governors we elect, but we are too often severely disappointed by their behavior.
The paramount criterion for candidates to the highest offices in Public Service should be: is this person able, by their own example, to inspire sacrifices for the common good? "
How did Senators McCain and Obama answer?
John McCain fumbled around with a riff on eliminating government programs, earmarks, an across-the-board freeze on spending except for defense, veterans, and "other vital programs." He didn't say exactly which programs would be cut, but I suppose bailing out Wall Street is a vital program now, and so is continuing the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy, because he didn't offer to give them up.
Disappointing for a man who brought his acceptance speech to a climax by saying:
"My friends, if you find faults with our country, make it a better one. If you're disappointed with the mistakes of government, join its ranks and work to correct them. Enlist in our armed forces. Become a teacher. Enter the ministry. Run for public office. Feed a hungry child. Teach an illiterate adult to read. Comfort the afflicted. Defend the rights of the oppressed. Our country will be the better, and you will be the happier. Because nothing brings greater happiness in life than to serve a cause greater than yourself."
Barack Obama gave a better answer, but it seemed like he still does not recognize the tremendous potential that a fully honest and prophetic answer could have. He said:
"I think the American people are hungry for the kind of leadership that is going to tackle these problems not just in government, but outside of government. … There is going to be the need for each and every one of us to start thinking about how we use energy. … [E]ach and every one of us can start thinking about how can we save energy in our homes, in our buildings….
I think the young people of America are especially interested in how they can serve, and that's one of the reasons why I'm interested in doubling the Peace Corps, making sure that we are creating a volunteer corps all across this country that can be involved in their community, involved in military service, so that military families and our troops are not the only ones bearing the burden of renewing America."
A truly great leader, with the leadership character of a Lincoln or a Kennedy, would have to look into the next decade and call out those challenges that can only be met by inspiring Americans to set aside their personal comforts and make deep sacrifices for the common good.
This is the essence of progressive political philosophy: We are all in this together. "Every man for himself" and "do what you can get away with" has led us into this mess. We can only pull together to solve the enormous problems that face our country if we can trust and respect each other. And we can only do that if we have an unselfish leader who deserves our trust and respect.
Is there any doubt that universal health care, for those who need it most, will need to be paid for by the young and healthy?
Is there any doubt that we will not stop the polar ice caps from melting and the oceans from rising unless we can stop burning fossil fuels at the rate we have been?
The 78-year-old caller from Chicago no doubt remembers, as fewer and fewer of us alive today do, that World War Two required incredible sacrifices. Detroit was ordered to stop making cars and build only tanks and airplanes. Gasoline was rationed. You couldn't buy sliced bread because steel was needed for the war effort. Does any conscientious person truly doubt that the same level of sacrifice will be needed to stop global warming? Perhaps the Greatest Generation is yet to come.
So, let's start a list of the sacrifices that the candidates should share with us:
1. Energy conservation. By every reasonable voluntary and mandatory means, we will need to curtail our wasteful use of fossil fuels and conserve our oil resources. Now. Not after we have converted to electric cars and hydrogen fuel cells and the other technological breakthroughs we hope for. We need to keep our remaining offshore oil and Alaskan oil in the ground if our grandchildren will be able to fly on airplanes and have an Air Force to protect them. Come to think of it, climate change also means conserving other resources, too, like water and fisheries.
2. Paying for the war in real time. We cannot keep fighting the war on terror in Iraq and Afghanistan and elsewhere without paying for it now. To pay for the war in Vietnam at the time it was happening, the rich in America paid an income tax surcharge and Lyndon Johnson sold off Fannie Mae. George Bush, incredibly, has reduced taxes for the wealthy and paid for the war with deficit spending.
3. The rich will be called upon to sacrifice. Obama should highlight that he is asking those who make over $250,000 a year to pay more in taxes. They can afford it, and should be contributing more to the common good, especially in hard times. If the tax burden paid by the wealthy during the Reagan years can be restored, that will go a long way toward paying for the war on terror, the Wall Street bailout, the cost of taking care of our veterans, health care and educational reform, and the cost of new green technology.
4. We all will need to keep supporting our government with our taxes. Bill Clinton, when he was running for president in 1992, promised middle-class tax relief. He couldn't deliver, because economic realities required him to reduce the federal deficit. After Obama proposed a tax reduction for 95% of households, the government committed us to a $700 billion expenditure to rescue the financial system. Hello? It should surprise no one if Obama's middle-class tax cut were to be reduced or delayed.
5. Delaying retirement. All signs point to the fact that my generation, born after 1945, will have to keep working longer and retire later, due to the drop in value of our 401(k) and other retirement plans. There are too many of us to stop being productive and live off of Social Security, diminishing home equity and investments. Things will get worse before they get better, and it may take another 10 years for the country to pull out of this financial crisis.
6. No more easy money. Wealth did not trickle down during the years of Republican administration, but lots of credit did—subprime mortgages, credit cards, companies issuing junk bonds, states and counties borrowing, bizarre unregulated derivatives and hedge funds. A house of cards, collapsing on us now. We will have to spend less and save more, and the financial self-discipline will be a painful adjustment.
7. Yes, there will be more government regulation. Isn't that the lesson of the financial meltdown? There won't be as many ways to get rich quick on Wall Street. If Obama is elected, unions may have more rights to organize, companies may be forced to pay women equally, fuel efficiency standards for automobiles may be raised. Maybe even price controls on prescription drugs. The business world will be called upon to sacrifice for the common good. About time.
8. Social Security and Medicare reforms. Of course, the rich should pay a greater share of the payroll taxes. As Obama has proposed, those making over $250,000, who don't pay a dime more right now, can afford it. That's progressive taxation, long overdue. If that were done as a first step, then it might be reasonable to ask others to sacrifice by making other small adjustments, to the eligible retirement age, for example.
9. Civil preparedness. After September 11th, the most visible change in our daily lives was the increase in airport security measures. In the seven years since then, many other steps that could protect us have been neglected. A suitcase nuclear device could be driven or walked into almost any office building in America. As a society, we don't practice emergency procedures for earthquakes, floods, fires, or terrorist attacks. And at no level of government do we have well-organized, practical ways to enlist ordinary citizens in rescue, recovery, and cleanup operations. A flotilla of small boats could have saved many lives in Louisiana during Hurricane Katrina, but we just left those poor people on their rooftops.
10. The Ugly American, revisited. In 1960, John F. Kennedy inspired a new generation of Americans to care about our relationship with the rest of the world by joining the Peace Corps. He spoke German in Berlin and Jackie spoke French in Paris. Senator Obama wants to double the Peace Corps and has lamented Americans' lack of fluency in foreign languages. Recently, a group of former Secretaries of State convened and agreed that our most serious international problem is the low level of respect for America in the rest of the world. We could set aside a bit of our arrogance about being "the best country in the world," take the time and trouble to understand other people's cultures, religions, and problem, and win back our allies and friends.
Our presidential candidates have sought to win this election by telling their personal stories, by trying to relate to the average person's needs, by attacking the failures and lies of their adversaries, by mobilizing thousands of grassroots supporters, and by offering new policies and benefits. They have tried to outdo each other with the promise of better government service at no additional cost.
When JFK, in his inaugural speech, said "ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country," he prepared an entire nation, the G.I. Generation and the Baby Boomers alike, to do amazing things for the benefit of all humanity, from sending a man to the moon to overcoming racial inequalities at home.
There is no other appeal to the voter that is more powerful, more courageous, more uplifting, than the bare-headed image of an American president who is able, by his or her own example, to inspire sacrifices for the common good.

LOS ANGELES, May 22 (UPI) -- Two men accused of beating a San Francisco Giants fan into a coma outside Dodger Stadium face new charges of illegally possessing weapons, prosecutors said.
Marvin Norwood and Louie Sanchez -- already facing assault and mayhem charges in the March 31, 2011, incident -- have also been charged with weapons violations, the Los Angeles Times reported Tuesday.
Each was accused of being felons in possession of firearms in a 14-page indictment revealed by federal authorities during a Tuesday pretrial hearing.
Prosecutors contend Norwood and Sanchez of attacked Bryan Stow of Santa Cruz, Calif., in the stadium parking lot after the Opening Day game between the Giants and Los Angeles Dodgers.
Stow was wearing a Giants jersey when he was assaulted, they say.
The suspects stand accused of possessing two semiautomatic rifles, a semiautomatic shotgun, a semiautomatic pistol and a .357-caliber revolver, which were recovered during a search of Norwood's home, the newspaper reported.
Stow suffered a serious head injury in the alleged assault and was moved from a San Francisco hospital to a rehab center late last year.

First, work has been busy and stressful. Since I have to work in order to support myself, I have to give this my highest priority.
Second, I've been increasingly put off by the discussions around professionalism in the practice of genealogy. I understand why it's important, but I chafe at the thought that everyone has to be held to the same unreachable standards. It's not that I want to be sloppy about the research I do, but I do it for fun and to educate myself. I don't plan to publish it. I don't plan to market my research services. I have no intention of hanging out a shingle that says "Professional Genealogist". I'm not a professional. I don't want to be one. I also don't want to spend more time worrying about whether I'm living up to some standard that others seem to think I should. All that matters to me is that I'm happy with the quality of the work I'm doing.
Third, I haven't done any original research or analysis in more than a month because I can't figure out how to get started again. Every time I sit down to it, I question myself and my direction. I can't make any progress when I can't bring myself to take the first step.
So, I've made the decision to take my blog private again. Yes, I know that it won't be cousin bait that way, but I can still use it to work through my previous research.
Frankly, I need to find the fun again, or it's just not worth the effort.
Please note that I've disabled comments.

So as an -ahem- single guy who loves the company of exotic women almost as much as kiteboarding I'm wondering if anyone can offer some travel destination suggestions.
I've heard Brazil is a bit of a crazy place for wild young women who appreciate the company of foreign guys. But my understanding is more of the Rio Terma's and big city bars. I'm also aware that some areas like Puerto Plata in the DR are pretty liberal. Of course there is Thailand, but again, the big city seems more well known for adult fun. I've been to Cuba more than a few times and met some awesome girls and had a great time but the kite spots are way out in Cayo Guillermo, not the real towns and cities.
I'd love to spend some time in northern Brazil but wonder what the country girls are like.
Not sure if this post is appropriate for the forum but if not I understand. I set this account up for this question so I understand discretion. If you don't want to post publicly, then send me a PM.
Thanks guys!

Heatstroke can be a very serious problem for both people and pets. Pet owners must be aware of the dangers of heatstroke as the temperatures rise. Many pets enjoy riding along in the car with their owners, however, a hot summer day can spell trouble for pets; especially those left unattended in vehicles.
"Every year, the news reports on pets that have died from over exposure to heat while being left in vehicles. It usually occurs when the pet owner leaves the pet in the vehicle while they shop or run a quick errand," said Richard Lane, Operator at Petland of Joplin. "It doesn't have to be extremely hot outdoors for a pet to suffer heatstroke inside a car."
According to Petland, leaving a pet inside a closed automobile for just 10 to 20 minutes is risky on an 80-degree day as temperatures can quickly rise to 120 degrees Fahrenheit – enough heat to kill a pet. Even 10 minutes inside a hot car is enough to cause exhaustive heatstroke in cats and small dogs. Rabbits, hamsters and birds have even less of a chance for survival.
Best prevention
Heatstroke can be prevented quite easily if you follow one Petland rule.
"We always advise leaving pets at home when running errands on warm days," Lane said.
Pets left outdoors during periods of intense heat also are vulnerable to heatstroke. Outdoor pets always must have a supply of fresh, cool drinking water and places to rest out of direct sunlight.
Know signs of heatstroke
Heatstroke in a pet is easy to diagnose early on. Some first signs are quite visible. They include excessive panting, salivation and a racing pulse. The pet also will have a high body temperature and may vomit. In latter stages of heatstroke, the pet lapses into a coma. At this point, the pet can suffer brain damage and die.
When a pet experiences some of the warning signs of heatstroke, it may be too risky to just drive the pet to a veterinarian.
Ways to help in an emergency
Until proper medical care is provided, submerging a pet's body in cool water or pouring cool water over its body can help. Ice packs, if available, can be used to lower body temperature, too. Pet owners also should rinse the pet's mouth with cool water, offering ice chips or very small amounts of water to drink. It is best to keep cool water or cold packs on the heat-exhausted pet until reaching the veterinarian. The medical professional can then take a temperature reading and thoroughly examine the pet.

Just thought I'd let you all know, 2 weeks ago my cav (Elliot) got very tired and was't eating that much, I noticed a tiny black spot on his belly(well hidden under his coat). Brought him to the vet, and he pulled out a huge tick which had completely burried itself into his belly. The vet was quite worried about it and warned me that tick bites can be very nasty and that he may develop sepsis as it had possibly entered the bloodstream. He was given an injection and put on strong antibiotics for a week and luckily (tg) he improved. I used the "spot on" treatment in May, and was told to keep using it during the summer months. He's fine now, however, im keeping a close eye out for those ticks!!! Just wondering what anybody else uses to prevent ticks, did'nt know that they could have such bad effects!

I haven't read the manga, but the fact that she had such a central role in these two episodes, that she's featured as the main character in the promotional artwork, and the fact that she's, umm, immortal, I'd guess yeah, we will see more of her.
(Plus, from what I gather, the main theme for the manga is the love between Kuromitsu and Kuro).

Well the director, who did the animated adaptation of Death Note, sort of improved on the original ending.
Spoiler for Death Note:
So let's pray that the director improve on the original Kurozuka's ending too. He had shown he have this ability with Death Note.

Episode 2 was like wtf?!?! I'm not really a big fan of disjointed storytelling. Although you can tell an entertaining story despite that, like Baccano! for example, in general for me it does more to detract from a story rather than add to it.
I'm a bit puzzled by a few events that went on, hopefully they'll clear it up sooner rather than later.

Ureshii's sub of ep1 is outstanding. An excellent translation that is slightly loose in places, but only in order to better convey the spirit of the original. And the HD version is visually out of this world. This is how the show should be seen. The SHS-YuS version is good, too, but this is great.
The episode itself may be one of the best anime episodes I have ever seen, crisp and dynamic. Of course, I've now watched it four times, so the story is a little clearer to me than it was the first time. The storyboarder and animation director are Madhouse regulars, but the writer has a resume beyond anime, and the episode director has worked for other studios:
writer: Fujioka Mio 藤岡美暢 (Requiem for the Darkness; screenwriter; playwright)
storyboard: Araki Tetsurou 荒木哲郎 (the series director, director of Death Note, and also director of several Galaxy Angel series)
episode director: Hirao Miho 平尾みほ (director of several episodes of Shugo Chara and one of Antique Bakery)
animation director: 高炅楠 (I'm not sure how to pronounce this name -- Koukyou Kusunoki?) but he/she did the same job on some episodes of NANA.
Version 1 of the Ureshii sub had a couple of minor typeface problems, but they have issued a patch to fix them. The one downside of their method of doing the OP and ED as separate files is that the ED then has some of the wrong credits in it. They have used the ED from ep2, so the credits shown are for that ep. (Checked against No Anime, No Life.)
Here is a pic from ANN of the series director, ARAKI Tetsurou, who is now 32:

Just picked this up, but I have no idea which subgroup to go with. Preference ofcourse goes to the translation.
I looked here and it seems that ShS seems to be way off compared to Ureshii and sMi. Atm I'm kind of leaning towards sMi, but I've never seen any of their work so I don't know if can trust them in finishing up.
Any advise from people who know a bit of JP, which translations seem more correct?

The SHS version has better English, but Smi's sub has much better audio.

A Dream Lifestyle in Vanuatu Islands
Imagine yourself at this time walking lazily across a sandy beach, feeling the sand among your toes while you gaze out in the sparkling water. Your ears are tuned in to the wonderful songs from the native wild birds, and also the waves lapping lightly from the nearby shore. Think of the numerous activities you could spend your day enjoying about this magnificent island. Imagine owning the area you've pictured in your thoughts, it's possible.
