      Anthony Shadid's talent went MUCH further than his ability to speak "the language"; that language was in his DNA... His heart was in a compassionate place, and he spoke of the events in the Middle-East as if he had grown up intimately with its people... He risked his life to bring us stories we might never have heard otherwise. Even after he and his colleagues were held hostage in Libya for almost a week, he could still express stories of the human generosity that a handful of his captors showed him... AMAZING! And because he was American to his core, he could explain the Middle- East plight in terms we could understand. Whenever he was on "Charlie Rose", or OPB News Hour, I would listen, enthralled, because I knew I was hearing a "true" depiction of the events! He was a "treasure" who will be dearly missed...

      Anthony Shadid was so talented and a gift to the world of journalism. He was able to listen, truly listen, and bring the stories of conflict and people in the Middle East and North Africa to western audiences. There aren't very many journalists like that nowadays, sadly. I look forward to reading his last book upon release next month. Much strength to the family and friends he leaves behind. Rest in peace, Mr. Shadid.

      Sad.

      If you ever had an asthma attack you know it is like death by water boarding--panic is extreme from not being able to breathe.

      Stress can aggravate asthma -- and the dangerous border crossing was, no doubt, tension-provoking, even for a man used to putting his life at risk.

      Humans can be injured during contact with horses by a variety of mechanisms. In our study, the most common mechanism (65%) was being thrown or falling from a horse. Of the remaining patients, 19% were kicked, 12% were crushed, and 4% were struck by a motor vehicle while riding a horse. This distribution of injury mechanism is similar to that reported from other regions with a large equine population.[15]

      Asthma attacks aren't even listed--the chemical side that doesn't even show up.

      Not to question his ability, but it's a lot easier to cover ppl when you can speak the language. I don't care, myself, what is felt about such events as he covered, unless their relation is accompanied by sensible conclusions, which it appears he was able to draw, or rather to annunciate, because I think they take only a casual acquaintance to be seen, which, in turn, begs the question of why we are hardly ever confronted by them.
