President Banack Obama's inaugural committee stimulated a more-than doubling of volunteer activity around the country. It was a demonstration of a major development that's likely m unfold in the Obama era - a quantum leap in both paid national service and volunteer citizen serv1ce. What Obama's predecessor, President George W. B1.1sh, referred to as "the armies of comP.assion" may at last be mobilized in huge numbers to tackle the country's social problems and on a cost-effective . basis. at that. The centerpiece of the process will be passage tis advocates hope. in Obama's first ·100 days of the Serve America Act. sponsored by Sens. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass.. and Orrin Hatch.

Earning $12.500 a year. plus a $4.700 scholarship , Americorps volunteers do direct service at lowincome schools. clinics. boys and girls clubs. environmental projects and disaster sties. and help organize the work of around 60 million unpaid volunteers . Service Nation. a coalition of 120 mainly nonprofit organizations, hopes that by 2020, the government will give stipends to a million volunteers, whose efforts can leverage unpaid work by 100 million people. Whether such an ambitious goal ever gets realized, it's clear that Obama is moving the idea of national service - in fact, of citizenship - to a whole new level. Partly, it's the result of a coming-to-pass of the poignant challenge issued Today is Tuesday. Jan . 27. the 27th day of 2009.

Morton Kondl.acke by President George H.W. Bush in 1989: "From npw on in America. any d~fini ­ llon of a successful ltfe must indude serving others." That 's an attitude that caught on among ·young people even before Obama appeared on the scene. as exemplified by Teach for America ~ the nongovernmental corps of lowly paid volunteer teachers that now 'has 37.000 applicants for 5,000 positions each year. Another group. City Year. which puts recent high school and college graduates to work in poor neighborhoods, has ex.perienl'ed growth of I XO percent. Do£ens of other such nonprofits hllve grown up in recent years. and there's an udded overlay of "social entrepreneurship." the idea that chariltcs should use business ted1niques to measure their effectiveness and levera~e their effect. ' The Obmn:~ presidt;nttal campaign was powered. in part, by this combination of idealism and practicality. Instead of volunteering 111 inner cities, tens of thousands of citizens went to work ringing doorbells :~ml manning phone banks And shrewd org•m1zcrs assembled a gigantic dutabase of e-mail addresses and textable phone numbers that served as a potent political tool in the campatgn. As a result, the Obama campaign became a citi zens' movement of millions. In advance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. those in the database got 111l'S· sages frum Obama.

Olmma set an example by working ut u shelt<.>r for homeless teens :tnd vi sit ing wounded soldiers while his wife helped assemble gift packa ge~ for troops overseas. In perhaps the most eloquent portion of his inaugural address. Ohama cited tnilitury s~rvice as the model for ctllzen service at home . "As we consider the road that unfolds hcfor<' us . we rem ember with humble gratitude those brave Amencans who, at this vet) hour. patrol far-off deserts and di stunt mountains ... he satd.

And he added thai ">Y new era of responsibility" refers not only to personal conduct. but to "duti~s that we have ... to our nation and the world ." ami that this "is the price :wllthe p10mise of citIzenship ." Some Repuhbcans worry - ,as well they nught - that Obama ·.,, l·onflatin~ senicc and civic duty' with support for him and his pro~ram and that his mailing list ~an be turnell into a powerful pressure gtoup as well as a volunteer Ioree.

It has as Senate co-spon· sors ·such conservative Republicans as Thad Cochran (Miss .), Roger Wicker (Miss.). Judd Gregg (N .H.) and John McCain (Ariz.). Historically. too, the service ido;a is bipartisan, ori~­ innting with Roosevelt s Civilian Conservation Corps and followed by Kennedy 's Peace Corps, Lvndon Johnson's VISTA vi1lunteers and Bush 41's Points of Light. BiII Clinton created Americorps. which h~per­ parti sa n Congresstonal Republicans tried to kill in JW5 ;md 2003. but George W. Bush kept 1t alive and even expanded it from 50.000 volunteers to its cur" r~nt 75.000. Both Bushes· and Clinton established White House ofl'Kes to oversee service programs . which are also . numaged by the quasi-governmental Corporation for . National and Community Service. Obama reportedly intends to est<tbl ish a White House office to coordinate not only service programs, but "social mnovation" and technology ....:. which presumably mvolves a 21stcentury take on voluntcerism. ''Whenever there's been an expansion of service opportunities. it's been because of presidential leadership," says Alan Khazei, founder of City Year and now head ol Service Nation . "We have every indica: tion that Obama is gomg to gtve this the leadership it needs," he smd . Indeed, it's a movement whose time h.1s come.

Like Bush, Obama disables our privacy · The Daily-Sentinel 1-.-- - - -- ----- ----·-- Nat Hentoff Is th_is President Obamu 's America? Of course, our intelligence agencies need the authority to monitor e-mail and Internet communications, but not without reasonable suspicion thut this purtkular American is· linked to terrorism or some kmd of presumption of innocence. Howeve1, this quaint notion, one of the bedrocks of our Constitution, must be too old-timey for our brandnew prestdent. The Obama administration will now be efl'ectively ,causing the dismissal of many h1wsuits by individu:~l Americnns who have an understandable eagerness to know wh.:thcr they have been spied nn. Meanwhile, our new prestdent's discardmg of the Fourth Amendment is sup· ported by the recently reveal~d August 2008 ruling by the otherwise long-secret Foreign Intelligence Court of Rev1ew thui says yes, te lel'limmu nicallons companies must <'Oopcwte with NSA and other government intelligence opemtions to intercept 0111 e-nwils and phone calls . This court's decision is not at all li·kely to be updated so that iI can review the government's now limitless und warrantless hurvesting of our communications under the FISA Amendments Al't of 200R - without even a government smtp of evidence that the purlicular Amcrinm target is acting or planning against national security. FISA courts tru st their government. Only once before m its 30-year history has tillS FISA Court ol Rcvtew issued a public ruling. I think I know what the founders would have thought 1f mt essential part of the first 10 Amendments added to the Constitution l·nuld be sundered by . judges who unmedmtely slipped back into their secret site. But the Bill of Rights is also so uncoolthese days. What did give me hope thetL' would l:ie change we can believe in during the Obama presidency was hi s chtncc ,,f Dawn .lol\nsen to head the Just1cc Department's Office of Legal Counsel that advises the president and the executive branch on the constitutionality of their acttons.

And with regard to the Obamu government's insistence that telecommunication companies keep on tracking our phone calls and e-nmils. will this administration also msist - as did the Bush-Cheney team that they ctin 'l tell us whether we are in their htdden datubases becuuse that would violate "state secrets'?" As we wait. we can discover many secret state dismissals of our constitutional rights by reading the most important book of years to come: James Bamford's new book "Tfle Shadow Factory: The Ultra-Secret NSA from 9/11 to the Eavesdropping of America" (Doubleday). Among the carefully and clearly ~ourced facts of the National Security Agency's past, present and future designs on our personal privacy, once guaranteed by the Fourth Amendment. you will find many chilling facts on the telecommunications companics. Obama should take a peek . But. on the other hand . he says he prefers to look forward not backward. But the Constitution is our constunt continual protector.

"We felt we will die soon," 11-year-old Sharif Abed Rabbo told the grou~, describing his family s escape. "And I am sad I lost my house." Psychologists say Israel's three-week offensive inflicted more severe trauma than previous conflicts in Gaza because civilians in the crowded sliver of territory had no. safe place to run.A wartime shldy among hundreds of Gaza children showed a rise in nightmares. bedwetting and other signs of trauma, said psychologist Fadel Abu Hein. Counselors and aid workers fear thai Gaza's 'chi!dren, who make up 56 'percent of the l.4 million peopie here, will up hatmg Israel and become easier prey for extremists.

El.ec!rical signals from w1thm the heart muscle cause it to contract a number of times each minute. These contractions can be heard by your doctor through a stethoscope as a "beat," and you can sometimes be aware of them yourself. Each beat is the result of stimulation by electrical signals that tra vel through a specific pathway in the heart. This dedicated pathway - making use of. very spectalized heart muscle tissue - is called the bundle of His, pronounced "hiss." The bundle of His pathway starts in the upper heart ch~mbers, the right and left atna, and moves through an area ~ailed the atrioventncular, or AV, node.

A bundle branch block occurs when one of the branches of the bundle of Hts has been damaged and no longer transports the electncal 1mpulses it receives. This causes the ventricles to contract in a less coordinated manner. A bundle branch block may be caused by many thmgs; the most common one is a heart 'attack. Enlarged hearts or inflamed hearts can also cause a branch to be damaged. Also. after heart surgery, the scarring can interrupt the impulses in a branch. Other relatively common causes of a BBB include high blood pressure (hypertension) or an infection of · the heart muscle. And, some people are born with heart abnormalities that cause problems with one or more of the branches. Most people who have a BBB don't know they have 11. It is commonly picked up on a routine EKG that mtght be done as part of a workup for high blood pressure, elevated lipids or diabetes. When there are symptoms, they are usually very nonspecific,like fainting , dtzziness , or slow heart rute. So, in general , tt's not constdered a dangerous condition. There is no known treat, ment for BBB. but treating the underlying cause. when possible, is the place to start . For. instance, if you have high blood pressure it needs to be brought under control.

President Banack Obama's inaugural committee stimulated a more-than doubling of volunteer activity around the country. It was a demonstration of a major development that's likely m unfold in the Obama era - a quantum leap in both paid national service and volunteer citizen serv1ce. What Obama's predecessor, President George W. B1.1sh, referred to as "the armies of comP.assion" may at last be mobilized in huge numbers to tackle the country's social problems and on a cost-effective . basis. at that. The centerpiece of the process will be passage tis advocates hope. in Obama's first ·100 days of the Serve America Act. sponsored by Sens. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass.. and Orrin Hatch.

Service Nation. a coalition of 120 mainly nonprofit organizations, hopes that by 2020, the government will give stipends to a million volunteers, whose efforts can leverage unpaid work by 100 million people. Whether such an ambitious goal ever gets realized, it's clear that Obama is moving the idea of national service - in fact, of citizenship - to a whole new level. Partly, it's the result of a coming-to-pass of the poignant challenge issued Today is Tuesday. Jan . 27. the 27th day of 2009.

Morton Kondl.acke by President George H.W. Bush in 1989: "From npw on in America. any d~fini ­ llon of a successful ltfe must indude serving others." That 's an attitude that caught on among ·young people even before Obama appeared on the scene. as exemplified by Teach for America ~ the nongovernmental corps of lowly paid volunteer teachers that now 'has 37.000 applicants for 5,000 positions each year. Another group. City Year. which puts recent high school and college graduates to work in poor neighborhoods, has ex.perienl'ed growth of I XO percent. Do£ens of other such nonprofits hllve grown up in recent years. and there's an udded overlay of "social entrepreneurship." the idea that chariltcs should use business ted1niques to measure their effectiveness and levera~e their effect. ' The Obmn:~ presidt;nttal campaign was powered. in part, by this combination of idealism and practicality. Instead of volunteering 111 inner cities, tens of thousands of citizens went to work ringing doorbells :~ml manning phone banks And shrewd org•m1zcrs assembled a gigantic dutabase of e-mail addresses and textable phone numbers that served as a potent political tool in the campatgn. As a result, the Obama campaign became a citi zens' movement of millions. In advance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. those in the database got 111l'S· sages frum Obama.

It has as Senate co-spon· sors ·such conservative Republicans as Thad Cochran (Miss .), Roger Wicker (Miss.). Judd Gregg (N .H.) and John McCain (Ariz.). Historically. too, the service ido;a is bipartisan, ori~­ innting with Roosevelt s Civilian Conservation Corps and followed by Kennedy 's Peace Corps, Lvndon Johnson's VISTA vi1lunteers and Bush 41's Points of Light. BiII Clinton created Americorps. which h~per­ parti sa n Congresstonal Republicans tried to kill in JW5 ;md 2003. but George W. Bush kept 1t alive and even expanded it from 50.000 volunteers to its cur" r~nt 75.000. Both Bushes· and Clinton established White House ofl'Kes to oversee service programs . which are also . numaged by the quasi-governmental Corporation for . National and Community Service. Obama reportedly intends to est<tbl ish a White House office to coordinate not only service programs, but "social mnovation" and technology ....:. which presumably mvolves a 21stcentury take on voluntcerism. ''Whenever there's been an expansion of service opportunities. it's been because of presidential leadership," says Alan Khazei, founder of City Year and now head ol Service Nation .

A bundle branch block occurs when one of the branches of the bundle of Hts has been damaged and no longer transports the electncal 1mpulses it receives. This causes the ventricles to contract in a less coordinated manner. A bundle branch block may be caused by many thmgs; the most common one is a heart 'attack. Enlarged hearts or inflamed hearts can also cause a branch to be damaged. Also. after heart surgery, the scarring can interrupt the impulses in a branch. Other relatively common causes of a BBB include high blood pressure (hypertension) or an infection of · the heart muscle. And, some people are born with heart abnormalities that cause problems with one or more of the branches. Most people who have a BBB don't know they have 11.
