Hempstead County, ArkansasHempstead County History, Geography, and Demographics
Etymology - Origin of County NameHempstead is named for Edward Hempstead, a delegate to the United States Congress from the Missouri Territory. Edward Hempstead (June 3, 1780 – August 10, 1817) was an American lawyer, pioneer, and one of the early settlers in the new Louisiana Purchase in 1805. Born in New London, Connecticut, Hempstead was the delegate in the U.S. House for the Missouri Territory from 1812 to 1814. Demographics:County QuickFacts: Census Bureau Quick Facts County HistoryCreated in December 15, 1818, from parts of Arkansas County and was named after Edward Hempstead, Missouri Territory's representative to Congress. Hempstead County was one of the first counties organized under the laws of the Territory of Missouri. The landscape is rolling hills. The economy is made up of food processing, poultry and egg production, along with beef cattle, soybeans and fruit. Each summer the Hope Watermelon Festival is held and draws not only local citizens but also hundreds of tourists. The county had two Wildlife Management Areas, Bois D'Arc and Hope, along with Millwood Lake, which features camping, picnicking, and swimming as well as hunting and fishing. The towns of Washington that includes the Old Washington State Park hold lots of history for the county. It was a stopover for Sam Houston and Davy Crockett on their way to Texas and the Alamo. A Washington Blacksmith made Jim Bowie's famous knife and such is still being crafted at the same site. The largest magnolia tree in Arkansas, planted in 1839, grows in Washington. Hope, the county seat is also the hometown of President William Jefferson Clinton where his boyhood home has been restored and is open to the public. Hundreds of visitors pass through this town each year. Neighboring Counties:

the relative roles and powers of our governments: federal, state, and local.
And the names given the counties, our most locally based jurisdictions,
reflects the "characteristic features of this country!"

Pacific Oaks College Faculty Emerita, Elizabeth (Betty) Jones, Ph.D., will give the commencement address, in both English and Spanish, to the graduating class of Pacific Oaks College Northern California students. Bachelor's and Master's Degrees in Human Development will be awarded to 55 students from throughout Northern California at a ceremony to be held on Saturday, May 11, 2013, at the Henry J. Mello Center for the Performing Arts in Watsonville.
"We are honored to have Dr. Jones be our commencement speaker at our graduation ceremony for students enrolled in Pacific Oaks College Northern California instructional sites," said Pacific Oaks College President Ezat Parnia, Ph.D. "It's only fitting that this address be given by Dr. Jones, since she spent 55 years of her life on the faculty of our College and has an outstanding reputation as a professor, lecturer and author of several books and numerous articles on child development."
Dr. Jones became interested in early childhood while attending College of the Pacific in Stockton. After earning her Master's Degree in Child Development at the University of Wisconsin she returned to California with a job at Pacific Oaks Friends School in Pasadena, which later became Pacific Oaks College. She has taught at the college ever since.
Dr. Jones grew up in Oakland and two of her children attended UC Santa Cruz. She has been a long-time consultant to schools in Soledad and Salinas.
"Our returning adults make a purposeful decision about their education, about life changes, so they tend to be very motivated students. They have a lot of work experience and bring a certain amount of credibility to the classroom. Their histories and backgrounds and cultures are assets that contribute to learning."

Back of House Interview
I applied online. The process took 3 days – interviewed at Chili's in January 2014.
I applied online and received an email almost immediately to come for an interview. When i showed up for the scheduled interview, they notified the manager that i was there, it took them nearly 20 minutes to meet me, even though the place was not busy (only a few patrons on the premises. When he showed up he gave no excuse as to why it took him so long. Once we started talking things changed, he was very professional and very attentive, asked questions about future goals and past experience. Asked about how my experience could help on a job like this. How i learned best, among other job related questions. Then he proceeded to tell me more about the company, how things work and their statement. He said there was a second interview with the general manager and normally would have to discuss it with him. However he decided to schedule it on the spot. The next appointment was a few days later, it was more informal, the general manager asked a few more personal questions, and availability questions, then he went on to talk about wages and stuff. Said he would meet with the rest of the management team and discuss my application. I received a call later that day with an offer. It was a very professional process in my opinion, despite the tardiness

Portraits of incarcerated youth made by Steve Davis were published on BuzzFeed yesterday. That they are featured does not surprise me; no, it is the reasonable comments that follow that surprise me.
They internet, a space known to often bring out the worst in people has had a special place for trolls as far as images of American prison and prisoners are concerned. Often photographs themselves are bypassed in discussion in order for commenters to shortcut straight to their long held positions — by they left or right, sympathetic or not, nuanced or short-sighted, familiar or prejudiced. Prisons are a divisive issue and often people miss the point of prison photographers who, in the first instance at least, are merely trying to hold a mirror to a system. In this case, Davis holds a mirror to a nation that locks up 65,000 youth on any given night at a cost of $5billion per year.
In my own prejudice, I would've expected THE INTERNET + BUZZFEED + KIDS IDENTIFIED AS CRIMINALS would be an equation for vitriol. Not so.
Why would I be so pessimistic? Well, despite BuzzFeed founder Jonah Peretti's insistence that serious, longform news can exist beside listicles — and despite recent pieces — on last meals of the executed, a trans-activist transforming a prison from within, reflections on wrongful conviction, and the shacking of women prisoners in labor — BuzzFeed content still leasn heavily on shock, innumerable pet vids, "27 things you only know if…" nonsense, and flashes of celeb flesh. The lowest denominators remain our and BuzzFeed's bread and butter.
All that said, let's just be thankful for this comment thread:
Some of these faces are so hard. Some are bewildered. And some are just heartbreaking. So beautiful and tragic.
Each one of these faces should never have ended up there. Their incarceration marks the failure of society to raise contributing citizens.
That would imply that society failed every person who has made bad choices. That's simply not a generalization that pans out entirely. I don't disagree that we have failed many of these faces as a society, just the generalization.
Look to the parents. Well, perhaps they are/were also incarcerated. Sad all around.
There needs to be a better solution to helping these kids achieve more in life. Yes punish them for their crimes but surely there is better way! Locking them up like this gives them no hope of something better! Nobody but them know the full story so why jump to saying they "deserve" it? some of these kids have been failed by family, peers, society which has resulted in this! Tragic!
I think we should look to the systems used in Scandinavian countries — humane prisons, lots of community service, a focus on rehabilitation, not punishment. …Or we could just stop monetizing the prison system, that would help.
The system makes money off of these children, and I guarantee you there is not one child in there whose parents have a little bit of money! Our prisons are filled with poor people! Justice is definitely not blind!
I can see where you're coming from, but in my personal experience (two relatives that have been incarcerated both as youth and as adults), there are individuals who will, regardless of the number of chances given, continue to make the wrong choices. You can not force, coerce, or convince someone to act and live as you see fit. They will make choices of their own. These are individuals that do, in fact, deserve the punishments they receive. Like you said only they know the whole story, but regardless of that fact, there are some choices that incarcerated individuals have made that have impacted the lives of innocent people. Do those choices, then, not merit the fullest punishment?
I DO, however, believe there are also individuals who can be guided into a better life because they've only known one way. These are the individuals that CHOOSE to make themselves better, both in their own eyes and in societies eyes. They make the choice, and seek out those that can help guide them.
One summer in college, I had an internship in WA for an office of juvenile probation. I went to one of these places with one of the counselors because one of the kids was going to be getting out soon and heading home. This kid was probably 14 or 15 and I remember him sitting there crying because he didn't want to leave. He had been in out of the system for years and I remember him telling us that no matter how bad it was there, he knew he was going to get fed and have a place to sleep. He told us that he was going to do something as soon as he got out that would send him back. It was tragic on so many levels. Everyone had just given up on this kid and he had pretty much given up on himself.
Locking up a young person in prison is always a shocking and sad thing, but what concerns me is people's knee jerk reaction that all youth incarceration reflects society's ultimate failure. Remember, most of you are also the same people who regularly rage against the violent and intolerable stories we read about rape and murder that we regularly see on this site. There are thousands of teenagers (perhaps some of the faces you are seeing here) who are guilty of these crimes. Are you saying that we needn't incarcerate minors who commit violent crime? Should these individuals only be counseled then allowed to return into society? Despite the fact that several here have unilaterally declared that each of these incarnations are the wholesale fault of society's failure?
But our prisons out not filled to the brim with people who have committed the kinda of crimes you speak of, and THAT is the failure.
I work in the teen department of my library system, and every librarian takes turns to go visit our JDC to talk to the kids there and find books for them in the collection we maintain at the facilities for them. It's hard seeing them…especially when they're super young (I swear a couple I've seen couldn't be older than 11), or especially when you've helped them in your branch before. It sucks, and I just always hope that they can come around and learn from the experience and never become a repeat offender.
I have a serious problem with photographers leaving their [captioning on] photos blank when it comes to picturing at risk groups. Each has their own valuable story to tell and name. They are not just "black kids: or troubled youths or street punks etc…the categories that pop up due to the viewers own prejudices. We live in a fucked up world. Such photography should be there to give names to the victims and not participate in their being reduced to a number in the "incarceration game."
Perhaps the Facebook-linked comment board has sophistication to remove idiot comments and promote those exhibiting most human thought?
Internet, you have my faith again.
Even the commenter that wonders about an anonymous portrait showing a youth with painted nails and foolishly labels the child as possibly "a fabulous homosexual" goes on to demonstrate a knowledge of the system that is unable to adequately care for LGBQIT youth; "In adult prisons obviously gay or transgendered individuals are usually put in solitary confinement for their own protection." We know that is an unacceptable situation. LGBQIT prisoners are denied access to programming because prisons cannot guarantee their safety in general population.

The lives of prison officers, as I have said before, are rarely represented by means of photography. I don't know if that is the case for other mediums. Regardless, Alysia Santo's profile of Claudia Cass, a prison officer in New Hampshire, is essential reading.
"Her work in the prison had become so overwhelming that Matthew, her 11-year old son, was often alone, cooking his own dinner and seeing himself off to school," writes Santo.
Cass, 42, is so stretched by the long hours of her job she feels unable to care adequately for her son. She made the toughest decision of her life and transferred legal custody of Matthew to her mother.
Imagine that? Having to give up legal custody of your child because you're spending all your waking hours working in a prison? Crazy and depressing.
Santo writes:
Prison guards are often characterized, whether in news accounts or movies, as living under some constant threat of mayhem. But for Cass and her fellow officers, the recurring nightmare is not a prison riot. It is falling asleep at the wheel after a series of 16-hour shifts. Or nodding off with your sidearm exposed while escorting a sick inmate to the hospital. Or even having to tell your child that you don't have time to be a mother.

I love the term "activist-shareholder." I envision a person wearing protest t-shirts at the AGM, or the organisation of a silent bloc that suddenly bursts into action and derails the agenda of a meeting. Activist-shareholders are moles in the system. Granted they are very visible roles, and it is soon very obvious as to why they have bought shares in a corporation whose practices they oppose, but still. yay for the little man.
Alex Friedmann, associate director of the Human Rights Defense Center and managing editor of Prison Legal News is one such activist shareholder. He made the reasonable proposal that private prisons make attempts to rehabilitate prisoners. Shock horror! And, guess what? The private prison company refused.
I just adore these tactics. If the prison industrial complex is to be dismantled it'll take an untold amount of imagination and the combination of many tactics. Friedmann's colleague at Prison Legal News Paul Wright was on hand this week to remind us that talking about the problem is not always doing something about the problem. Wright spoke with Alysia Santo for The Marshall Project, in a provocatively titled interview piece Sure, People Are Talking About Prison Reform, but They Aren't Actually Doing Anything.
Go forth, let your imagination run wild.
Below, the Human Rights Defense Center press release:
Nation's Largest Private Prison Firm Objects to Resolution to Fund Rehabilitative, Reentry Programs
Nashville, TN – Last Friday, Corrections Corporation of America (NYSE: CXW), the nation's largest for-profit prison firm, formally objected to a shareholder resolution that would require the company to spend just 5% of its net income "on programs and services designed to reduce recidivism rates for offenders."
The resolution was submitted by Alex Friedmann, associate director of the Human Rights Defense Center and managing editor of Prison Legal News. An activist shareholder, Friedmann owns a small amount of CCA stock; in the 1990s he served six years at a CCA-operated prison in Clifton, Tennessee prior to his release in 1999.
"As a former prisoner, I know firsthand the importance of providing rehabilitative programs and reentry services," Friedmann stated. "I also know firsthand the incentive of private prisons to cut costs – including expenses associated with rehabilitative programs – in order to increase their profit margins."
Citing data from the Bureau of Justice Statistics, the resolution notes that "Recidivism rates for prisoners released from correctional facilities are extremely high, with almost 77% of offenders being re-arrested within five years of release." Further, "[t]he need to reduce recidivism rates for offenders held in [CCA's] facilities is of particular importance, as two recent studies concluded that prisoners housed at privately-operated facilities have higher average recidivism rates."
The shareholder resolution states that it "provides an opportunity for CCA to do more to reduce the recidivism rates of offenders released from the Company's facilities, and thus reduce crime and victimization in our communities."
CCA filed a formal objection with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), seeking to exclude the resolution from its 2015 proxy materials distributed to shareholders. In its objection, CCA argued that the resolution relates to "ordinary business operations," comparing it to other shareholder resolutions that have, for example, sought to require companies to "test and install showerheads that use limited amounts of water."
In a press release issued by CCA last year, the company announced "a series of commitments" to rehabilitative programming, stating it would "play a larger role in helping reduce the nation's high recidivism rate." At the time, CCA CEO Damon Hininger claimed that "Reentry programs and reducing recidivism are 100 percent aligned with our business model."
"CCA's objection to a shareholder resolution that would require the company to spend just 5% of its net income on rehabilitative and reentry programs demonstrates the lack of the company's sincerity when it claims to care about reducing recidivism," stated HRDC executive director Paul Wright. "Evidently, retaining 95% of its profits isn't enough for CCA – which isn't surprising, because as a for-profit company CCA is only concerned about its bottom line, not what is best for members of the public, including those victimized by crime."
"If CCA was serious about investing in rehabilitation and reentry programs for prisoners who will be released from the company's for-profit facilities, then it would not have objected to this resolution," Friedmann added. "But it did, so we can draw our own conclusions."
The Human Rights Defense Center, founded in 1990 and based in Lake Worth, Florida, is a non-profit organization dedicated to protecting human rights in U.S. detention facilities. HRDC publishes Prison Legal News (PLN), a monthly magazine that includes reports, reviews and analysis of court rulings and news related to prisoners' rights and criminal justice issues. PLN has around 9,000 subscribers nationwide and operates a website (www.prisonlegalnews.org) that includes a comprehensive database of prison and jail-related articles, news reports, court rulings, verdicts, settlements and related documents.

For the Winter Issue of Actually People Quarterly (APQ), I interviewed college professor Nigel Boyle who played the beautiful game in circumstances that most would consider unlikely. Nigel explains, however, that football is a way of life among the Ugandan prison population who welcomed he and other educators with untold warmth.
The theme for the Winter APQ Issue was 'Triumph.' Nigel had a good game.
It's great to publish the APQ article, in full, here on the blog. Thanks to my friends over at San Francisco's Carville Annex for ongoing collaborations.
Nigel Boyle is a bit like me. He's English, he's quite white, he can't control his bigger smiles, and he's a mad football fan. Earlier this year, before I visited Nigel's hometown of Claremont, California, I contacted him because he had been teaching in his local prison. I wanted to know more about that.
I did not know he had taught in a prison in Uganda this summer, too. Nigel invited me to a soiree at his house. It was a reunion of the faculty, students and administrators involved in the Uganda prison teaching program as well as directors of partner organizations. I was made to feel very welcome.
Nigel supports Aston Villa, who play in claret and blue. They're based in Birmingham, have existed since 1874, and were one of the 12 founding teams of the English Football League. I support Liverpool who play in red and, down the years, have won more trophies than Villa. Neither team haven't won many titles in recent decades.
Nigel is one of those lucky people that has managed to merge his passion for a particular sport with his professional pursuits. He has taught seminars on the history and political economy of football and once delivered a conference paper titled "What World Cup and Champions League Soccer Teaches Us about Contemporary Europe." Before he moved to California to teach at Pitzer College, Nigel taught at Duke and Oxford universities.
During his party, Nigel entered the kitchen clasping a photograph. In it, he was pictured with teeth and fists clenched, in mid-sprint in front of a crowd of onlookers. It looked like he had just kicked a ball. He explained that the onlookers were prisoners in the Luzira Upper Prison, in Uganda. Naturally, I had questions.
Prison Photography (PP): Why were you in a Ugandan prison?
Nigel Boyle (NB): I was there as a volunteer with the Prison Education Project (PEP), a California program founded by my colleague Professor Renford Reese. PEP had been invited by a Ugandan academic, Arthur Sserwanga, who has been doing third-level education in Ugandan prisons.
PP: So football in prison?
NB: There are 10 "clubs" at the prison and they are all named after renowned European teams — Man United, Liverpool, Aston Villa, Leeds, Chelsea, Arsenal, Newcastle, Everton, Barcelona and Juventus.
PP: Really?
NB: Really. A league structure is an organizing principle inside. They all have long histories and fan clubs. They adhere to league codes of ethics and conduct. They have transfer windows!
PP: Why were you playing?
NB: I watched several games at the prison – tournaments between a game between the Luzira Upper Prison Team and another prison team (Murcheson Bay Prison) and one between the Luzira Upper Prison Team and the prison staff team. I got antsy as a spectator and put together a team of U.S. students and students from Makerere University. Games are the primary entertainment at the prison, 3,000 spectators. I was not sure when the game was going to happen which is why I was wearing my "teaching kit" not my Villa kit. We were playing the Arsenal club team.
PP: How did the game go?
NB: Arsenal started off by scoring early and then went easy on us as we had some inexperienced players on the team. But then we started to play a bit, got an equalizer and the crowd really got into it. They were supporting us mostly (apart from the Arsenal fans, of course). The crowd was most delighted with the "the girl" on our team, a U.S. student called Ashley. That she could actually play well led to roars of approval. As the old Muzungu* on the field I also drew some cheers when I showed I knew how to kick a ball.
PP: Was it tense?
NB: It was the friendliest "friendly" game I have ever played in. In fact all games at Luzira are played in a very gentlemanly fashion – the prison soccer association constitution demands it and sets explicit standards for player and fan behavior, above anything FIFA* can manage.
PP: What are your strengths and weaknesses as a player?
NB: I'm your basic Brummie* parks player. Good in the air, poor control, good passer, slow. I played at the back most of the game, with 10 minutes to go it was 3-3 and I moved up front.
PP: That's when your moment of glory came?
NB: I scored with a sidefooted shot from 15 yards out, with only 8 minutes of the game to go. The crowd which was about 3,000 roared.
PP: A crowd of 3,000!?!?
NB: My childhood fantasy came true. Then I scored again. I was through on keeper, chasing down a clearance. We won the game. Being "interviewed" about my performance in this game only adds to the sense of my childhood dream coming true at the age of 53! After the game there were speeches (there always are after Luzira UP games). I thanked the Upper Prison Football Association, and it's president-prisoner Opio Moses, whom I'm proud to call a friend.
PP: Will you ever play in front of a crowd that big again?
NB: Only if I get back to Luzira again, and I would love to do that.
PP: Are you at all tempted to retire on a high?
NB: I know guys in their 60s still playing pick-up soccer and I intend continuing as long as my knees hold out. But this is the story I will be telling my grandchildren.
PP: What's football got to do with education?
NB: I've taught a course on comparative political economy through football (or soccer/futbol/fussball) eight times, at three institutions: Pitzer College, the University of Landau in Germany, and at California Rehabilitation Center, which is a prison in Norco. Is there a better lens for understanding contemporary globalization out there? Certainly not one that engages students the way the beautiful game does.
PP: How do Uganda prisons differ from those in the U.S.?
NB: U.S. prisons use vast human and financial resources to dehumanize prisoners and deny them the ability to function as social beings. I'm only familiar with Level 2, medium-security prisons in the U.S., but these are militarized holding pens.
Luzira Upper Prison is the top maximum security prison in Uganda, but staff carry no weapons, look prisoners in the eye, and treat prisoners as potential co-managers of the prison, not as human refuse. Resource starved Ugandan prisons allow prisoners to organize themselves into a civil society behind walls, and it's through the football clubs and the Prison Football Association that prisoners have organized and bargained with prison staff.
Upper Prison Luzira was a colonial prison designed to incarcerate and punish men who threatened British law and order. In the last 20 years, this colonial shell has been allowed to sprout prisoner-led education (literacy through degree levels), and sports and cultural organization that provide a training in how to be a productive citizen. U.S. prisons talk about "rehabilitation" but appear to be designed to induce PTSD.
PP: Thanks Nigel.
NB: Thank you, Pete.

The coalition activist groups Californians United for a Responsible Budget (CURB) are doing tremendous work at tracking was is said as compared to what is done by the Golden State's politicians. Governor Jerry Brown has been particularly adept at appeasing the centrist and liberal leaning electorate without ever taking bold action to reduce California's reliance on incarceration.
This morning, Gov. Brown announced an increase in spending on corrections at the state level. Not acceptable.
You may wonder why I focus on California so much. Well, aside of the fact it is my home state, California is often a bellwether for actions in other states. California was the first to enact Three-Strikes-And-You're-Out Laws in the mid-nineties and it was the first to repeal them at the ballot in 2014.
California is a massive economy — bigger than most nations — and yet inequality in the Golden State has never been more stark. California tells itself it is a global leader. However, if that were true it would be spending less money on cages and more money on education, rehabilitation, and initiatives to build healthy communities.
Today's announcement from the Governor's office simply is not good enough. Here's CURB's response:
California Governor Jerry Brown Backslides on Corrections Budget, No Substantial Reductions to the Prison Population Except Costly Expansion
Gov. Brown's 2015-16 Budget, released this morning, defies comments earlier this week that the administration is committed to shrinking California's over-sized prisons by increasing prison spending by 1.7%, bringing the total Corrections budget up to $12.676 billion.
"If the Governor believes that 'we can't pour more and more dollars down the rat hole of incarceration' and has actively attributed the voice of the voters in this decision, then why is he increasing spending on corrections, planning for more prisoners rather than fewer and defying the demands of the Federal Court to further shrink the prison system?" asked Christina Tsao of Critical Resistance. The proposed increase of funding for corrections is partially due to 13 new reentry hubs.
California's overwhelming passage of Prop. 47 was widely recognized as a mandate from voters to further reduce the prison population. County officials in Los Angeles have estimated an annual reduction of 2,500 in their jail population, however today's budget predicts that in 2015-16 only 1,900 people will be released from state prison under the proposition. The budget highlights the release of people from prison as a result of the expansion of good-time credits (4,418) and elder parole (115). The budget does not outline any further plans to expand these efforts.
"Today's budget shows the success of parole and sentencing reform measures in beginning to reduce crowding in California's bloated prisons," said Diana Zuñiga, Statewide Organizer for Californians United for a Responsible Budget. "Then why is Governor Brown still spending millions of dollars to open thousands of new prison beds, instead of implementing even more aggressive population reduction reforms?" asks Zuñiga. The budget anticipates that 2,376 new state prison beds will open in Feb. 2016 at 3 different locations.
"Today's budget maintains California as #1 in poverty and #1 in prison spending. This is not an accident, " said Vanessa Perez from Time for Change Foundation. "This morning Brown applauded the legislature on a balanced budget but we need to tear down the wall of poverty and invest more into vital programs and services that will lift the most vulnerable in our community out of poverty and stop wasting money on building new prisons walls. That is something that will be worthy of an applause".
After years of cuts, today's budget includes an increase in spending on K-12 and higher education. Education advocates, particularly in the UC system would like to see even further increases to prevent tuition hikes. "Higher educations in California has needed more funding for years. As we see tuition hikes happening for UC students across the state, here in San Diego they are building new prison beds at Donovan State Prison," says Allyson Osorio a student working in External Affairs at UC San Diego. "We should support the students in California and stop wasting precious funding to increase incarceration."

On the final day of 2014, In These Times published George Lavender's thought-provoking and straightforward Q&A with some of the leading public voices on criminal justice reform.
Lavender asked for their "worst" and "best" moments in criminal justice in 2014, as well as inquiring what we should look out for in 2015. A good think piece.
Here's my pick of the answers. From author Dan Berger on his "worst" moment:
"It is hard to pick an exact [worst 2014 criminal justice] moment; there are many contenders. But the combination of intransigence and self-congratulation displayed by various state officials who sustain mass incarceration and police violence. The conservative case for prison reform has attracted a lot of money and attention, and then gone on to claim victories for shrinking prison population through flawed "justice reinvestment" processes—the so-called Texas Miracle. But in fact, their politics of social austerity and expanded police power do not bring us any closer to ending mass incarceration; if anything, they have expanded the carceral state in the realms of policing and surveillance. Meanwhile, prison populations have not declined this year the way they did in year's past; in some places they increased, while Guantanamo remains open and torture remains legal."

It was a double whammy this week. Everyone noticed the 6,000 page report into CIA torture. Many won't know that today was the day that Justice Department attorneys presented the Obama administrations rationale for suppressing over 2,100 photos and videos of torture by American military personnel in Iraq, and Afghanistan.
Since 2009, the Obama administration has argued that releasing them would inflame anti-American sentiment abroad and place Americans at risk. Federal Judge Alvin Hellerstein of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York is not so easily convinced and wants the government to explain, photograph by photograph, how each might pose a threat to national security. The fight to release these photos dates to 2004, when the American Civil Liberties Union filed a Freedom of Information Act request.
David Levi Strauss has tracked these developments from the very beginning. Several chapters in his new book is Words Not Spent Today Buy Smaller Images Tomorrow (Aperture, 2014) deal directly with the war over control of torture photos.
Strauss and I, for WIRED talked about state secrets, how the brain is wired, the political power of images and whether or not photos of Osama Bin Laden's corpse actually exist.
WIRED: Why has the release of 2,000-plus remaining images and videos made by US military personnel in Abu Ghraib not been resolved?
Strauss: Because of the effectiveness of the images. They became the symbol of the change in US policy to include torture. Images are very powerful. That's why the US government has become very afraid of the effects of these images worldwide.
The other amazing thing about the Abu Ghraib images was that they crossed the boundary between private and public. That is unusual. It changed things for photojournalism, for the military, certainly, and for the public at large. Prior to the release of the Abu Ghraib images, the military was handing out cameras to soldiers so that they could use photos to stay in touch with their families, and to be used operationally.

Twelfth podium place for protagonist Husqvarna Rallye Team by Speedbrain as Dakar finishes.
The final fourteenth stage of the thirty-fifth edition of the Dakar wound up today in Santiago. Frenchman Cyril Despres became overall winner for the fifth time in a race that had been wide open right up until the end of the last special test.
Husqvarna Rallye Team by Speedbrain was once again a main protagonist in this incredible rally with a second place in today's stage, for Spaniard Joan "Bang Bang" Barreda taking the team's tally to twelve podium places. Joan himself has scored four partial stage wins, showing just how competitive the Husqvarna TE449RR by Speedbrain is.
The final standings don't really do justice to Husqvarna Rallye Team by Speedbrain or its riders, who were excessively punished for insignificant but costly technical setbacks which had previously not occurred all season. Joan Barreda, in particular, should have finished higher after he dominated the early stages, likewise Alessandro Botturi, who until three days ago was in fifth place.
The best of the Husqvarna Rallye Team by Speedbrain on the final leader-board was Portuguese Paulo Goncalves finishing tenth overall, after a consistent ride always up amongst the leaders.
Also noteworthy in their performances were the three privateers who finished the Dakar 2013 aboard Husqvarna TE449s, Portuguese Bianchi Prata, Australian Simon Pavey, and Spaniard Alex Bousquets on the TE449 RR by Speedbrain.
Joan Barreda: "I'm extremely pleased with my race, with the bike and with the team. We've taken a giant leap forward from last year's race, and it shouldn't be forgotten that this is only the second year with a completely new bike. Obviously, if I hadn't broken the wheel at the start of the race, I'd have certainly finished on the final podium, which was always our aim."
Paulo Goncalves: "We showed that we are highly competitive and capable of competing with the best. It's been a really positive race, in spite of the final result that definitely didn't reflect my real performance in this Dakar. The team will go home well satisfied, as we've proved that both the bike and the quality of the riders are up to the job. It's a shame for Botturi who didn't manage to finish the race despite the fact that he gave his heart for the team and fitted in with us right from the start."
Matt Fish: "This has been my first Dakar and I'm thrilled to have been able to finish such an amazing race. I came here to help the team and my team-mates. It was a tough challenge, and I did my best. An incredible experience, especially when I had to finish the special test at night in the middle of the desert."

If someone got into my personal space and ignored/challenged a warning bark from my dog, I'd hope he'd bite them too!
Hope everything sorts itself out #3Posted 09 January 2013 - 12:18 PM
It could be a cultural thing though - the dog took it as being antagonised the person who got bitten probably didn't. That is the thing your dog still bit the person and maybe you could get them to sign a waiver if you are worried but not paying costs can also get you in a whole lot of trouble - your dog bit a human you pay.
#4Posted 09 January 2013 - 12:20 PM QUOTE Last night dh was walking with the kids and dog on a local oval - it's huge and has 2 ovals and a man was walking and he walked really close to dd who was holding the leash (she's 17) and our dog barked at the man. The man barked back at the dog, as in he made woof, woof noises, the dog pulled at the lead and bit around the mans ankles .QUOTE (Rebothy @ 09/01/2013, 12:15 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If someone got into my personal space and ignored/challenged a warning bark from my dog, I'd hope he'd bite them too!

Hope everything sorts itself out Thanks. Yeah dd had a bit of a rant about how it was a strange reaction to woof at the dog and "what did he expect" and "why didn't he walk around us" etc, etc, she's upset as it's primarily her dog, he sleeps on her bed and is closest to her, she's had a terrible year with depression and the dog has been her lifeline literally I'm trying to do the right thing though as he shouldn't bite people at the end of the day. #6Posted 09 January 2013 - 12:23 PM
I don't have much experience of dog ownership, so I'm probably not going to say anything terribly useful. If this is the second incident whereby your dog has bitten someone (or tried to) without being threatened or trying to guard your property, you've probably got a problem on your hands. I don't think you need to have him put down, but a muzzle is probably a good idea for walks or for anytime he's not at home. I also wouldn't leave him alone with your 14-month-old, ever - not even a quick trip to the loo.
As far as the $70 is concerned, I do think you should pay it. I'd say the man's family knew he'd need a tetanus shot and that's why they took him to a doctor. They don't sound like the kind of people who'd deny a cash payment. They gave your husband their mobile number in good faith and they haven't been any trouble since the incident occurred. #7Posted 09 January 2013 - 12:24 PM
firstly I am no expert. not in the legality of paying the money or in dog training.
but if I were you I would. pay the $70. I mean it is not a big amount of money and it was your dogs fault. I think if they intended to sue they would be making more of a fuss... also look at a head halter for the dog http://compare.ebay.com.au/like/2509674687...dPriceItemTypes when walking as she seems to be unpredicable and excitable. You need to have more control. but maybe spiky or someone has a more expert oppinion. Edited by Z-girls rock, 09 January 2013 - 12:27 PM. #8Posted 09 January 2013 - 12:25 PM
In regards to the dog, maybe have a chat with your vet? If he's jumpy there might be training or something that can be done to stop him from acting like that. I'd be concerned too because it doesn't sound like it took a lot of provocation for him to bite, but obviously without being there it's hard to say for sure.
Regarding the money, I think the right thing to do is to pay for it. I can sort of see where your dad is coming from in thinking that paying for the doctor's visit is admitting responsibility, but realistically you ARE responsible as the dog owner so I don't see how it could make it worse. I am not a lawyer though, so maybe someone will be able to give you a better answer. #9Posted 09 January 2013 - 12:30 PM
Your dog felt threatened, a much larger animal was barking at it - it's response was the terrier way of saying get out of my space.
First of all, don't at this stage consider having your dog PTS. Never leave it and your baby unsupervised, never let it off the leash in a public place, don't let it go up to strangers and consider getting a good behaviouralist to come and work with you on the best way to deal with what the dog perceives as threats. It could also be worth getting one of the leads that asks people to stay away - but that wouldn't have helped in this case. I don't know what you should do about this man. I would not have gone home with him or given him my phone number. He may have thought he was being funny, but he provoked your dog, yes, your dog did bite him, and you feel bad about it but surely he also has to take some responsibility for his action. I have no idea of the legal responsibilities here, or what might happen if he reports it to the ranger, I would hope common sense prevails. #10Posted 09 January 2013 - 12:30 PM
You'r dog was simply protecting his pack ( you'r family). The man got to close for comfort so your dog took action, there would have been something about the man that intimidated the dog for him to bite. I don't think you need to put him to sleep over it at all, if he shows aggressive behaviour towards people then maybe but what he was did was not in an aggressive manor, remember they can't talk he barked at the man and that would have been his way of saying get back and the man didn't so he took the next step to protect his family.
With the payment yes 100% pay so you get a receipt for it, if they have already paid the dr then deposit it into their account & keep all reciept & transaction numbers. Never pay them in cash. #11Posted 09 January 2013 - 12:30 PM
If my dogs bit ANYONE, there is NO way they would be going anywhere near my kids.
#12Posted 09 January 2013 - 12:32 PM QUOTE (Cath42 @ 09/01/2013, 01:23 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I don't have much experience of dog ownership, so I'm probably not going to say anything terribly useful. If this is the second incident whereby your dog has bitten someone (or tried to) without being threatened or trying to guard your property, you've probably got a problem on your hands. I don't think you need to have him put down, but a muzzle is probably a good idea for walks or for anytime he's not at home. I also wouldn't leave him alone with your 14-month-old, ever - not even a quick trip to the loo. As far as the $70 is concerned, I do think you should pay it. I'd say the man's family knew he'd need a tetanus shot and that's why they took him to a doctor. They don't sound like the kind of people who'd deny a cash payment. They gave your husband their mobile number in good faith and they haven't been any trouble since the incident occurred. Definitely start walking the dog with a muzzle. Also, how did your DD react when the dog started barking at the man? Did she pull him closer/say no etc? I don't know what the legal ramifications would be, but think you should pay the money as he wouldn't have need to go to the doctor if not for your dog. #13Posted 09 January 2013 - 12:33 PM
Pay the bill.
Keep your dog away from people on a shorter leash for now. And talk to your vet about further training. It is NOT this man's fault he got bitten by your dog. #14Posted 09 January 2013 - 12:37 PM
All dogs in public need to be under control. A dog that is able to harass and bite someone would not be considered under control. If he reports this incident, you will be found at fault.
#15Posted 09 January 2013 - 12:38 PM
I second a PP suggestion of discussing your dogs behaviour with a vet or a trainer and take their advice.
I would pay the medical bill at the end of the day it was your dog that bit the man and I would document the situation your responses and pay the amount ask for a copy of the invoice. Good luck I hope that perhaps some intervention training can help your dog. #16Posted 09 January 2013 - 12:38 PM QUOTE (JRA @ 09/01/2013, 10:20 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> . If a person cannot walk near a dog without being bitten, that is not the person's fault. Don't blame the victim. I should rephrase. I'm not blaming the victim. I'm saying don't blame the dog, either. When looked at through the dog's eyes, someone got into the personal space of his pack, he issued a warning which was ignored and even challenged, so he protected his pack. #17Posted 09 January 2013 - 12:40 PM
No idea about the legal ramifications but your dog bites, don't ever let it get in a position where it can bite anyone else. He should only be walked by an adult, he should be kept well away from passers by, which means vigilance on the part of the person holding the lead, and he needs to be muzzled.
At home, he should be separated from visiting children, with no exceptions. To the PP who said they hoped their dog would bite in that situation, don't EVER wish your dog would bite anyone. #18Posted 09 January 2013 - 12:40 PM
But it seems it is the second time he has bitten someone. The first time it was lucky he just tore the mans trousers.
#19 Guest_Sunnycat_*Posted 09 January 2013 - 12:41 PM
I think you need to pay the bill and for any other medical expenses he incurs.
If it were me I'd be offering him $200 or something to go away and get him to sign an indemnity to leave it at that. Is be horrified if my animal injured another person in reasonably normal circumstances. ETA: animal not anal but I'm glad autocorrect didn't change it to anus.

I would be quite happy paying the $70 for the man's tetanus shot, as I would probably feel quite bad
I've owned bitey dogs before, but they have always been smaller dogs/terriers who didn't cause a lot of damage when they did bite, and I knew what triggered them to bite so I would avoid that to make sure no one got hurt. I would never consider putting a dog down over biting incidences such as the ones you are describing The last dog I owned was fine with my partner and I, but if approached/touched/interrogated or intimated by strangers, he would try to bite them. For this reason, whenever I took him out for a walk or play I would always leave him on the leash AND I would warn people if they came too close, e.g. "Hi there! This little one can be a bit snappy so please don't try to pat him!" And everything was fine. I would not put the dog down, I would jus be more wary about controlling the leash around strangers, and warn people like I suggested when they get too close. #22Posted 09 January 2013 - 12:42 PM
Where I live, the owner of the dog or the person in charge of the dog at the time of an attack is legally and financially liable for any costs involved as a result of the dog attack.
This is regardless of whether the person came close to the dog, whether the person was at the dogs property etc. Of course, if the dog is provoked, then it is considered a different matter but still investigated. http://www.casey.vic.gov.au/pets/article.asp?Item=3502 I think you should pay, if you are wanting to prove payment has been made, type up a simple receipt and have them sign it. With regards to the dog, there are a few things I would consider: 1. In the previous two attacks, from the information provided it didn't appear to be provoked. This is concerning. If you are going to keep the dog, then some obedience training is needed so the dog is used to being around many other dogs and people of various degrees at once. 2. While he is being trained, if you are going to go out with the dog in public a halter or muzzle is probably going to be the safest option for all involved. I would also ensure the person in charge of the dog at the time is clearly in control, and ensures that when people are within the immediate vicinity of the dog that the dogs attention is with them. This is a hard decision, I am a dog person, I have two dogs, one we have worked hard with when out in public as she was nervous and insecure (which came across as growling) and another who is so laid back and casual that he has been the victim of dog attack. #23Posted 09 January 2013 - 12:45 PM
If your dog reacts that way to someone making a noise, then what about a child who pulls its ears or something like that. It's happened twice, and i think both times you've gotten off pretty lightly. Third time maybe not so lucky.
I defnitely agree you should muzzle the dog from now on when walking it. #24Posted 09 January 2013 - 12:46 PM QUOTE (asdf89 @ 09/01/2013, 12:32 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Definitely start walking the dog with a muzzle. Also, how did your DD react when the dog started barking at the man? Did she pull him closer/say no etc? I don't know what the legal ramifications would be, but think you should pay the money as he wouldn't have need to go to the doctor if not for your dog. Yes she did pull him closer and try to keep him from the man but by all accounts he walked 'really close' which didn't allow her to totally stop him from reaching the man. I didn't think about paying into their acct, I will see if dh can get the details tonight and pay it that way then we both have a record. I think I will call the vet, who already has bit of history about him, the vet was the once that first pointed out that he was 'headshy', he would crouch when the vet tried to pat him, during vaccinations etc. Muzzle is a great idea, I will get one and not allow them to take him out without it, that should take away the risk of him biting anyone out in public. He's not left alone with the baby ever, although I guess there is always the potential for that to happen, which is worrying but maybe the vet will have some advice on training/ behaviour therapy. thanks everyone, great advice as usual #25Posted 09 January 2013 - 12:56 PM
I would pay the $70 - your dog bit someone, that is your responsibility.
If it were me I wouldn't keep the dog. We had a dog that was fine with us, but one day out of the blue attempted to attack a young child on a bike, we took him to the RSPCA that day. I could not live with the risk of him hurting anyone. If you have a very young child, I couldn't live with that risk. Also, yes this man may have gotten close but in no way should you blame the victim for what happened, what if a young child was to get too close? 1 user(s) are reading this topic0 members, 1 guests, 0 anonymous users |

Charles Herbert
Charles Herbert | |
Born | Charles Herbert Saperstein December 23, 1948 Culver City, California, U.S. |
Occupation | Actor |
Years active | 1953–1968 |
Charles Herbert Saperstein (born December 23, 1948) is an American former child actor of the 1950s and 1960s. Before reaching his teens, Herbert was renowned by a generation of moviegoers for an on-screen broody, mature style and wit that enabled him to go one-on-one with some of the biggest names in the industry, and his appearances in a handful of films in the sci-fi/horror genre have garnered him an immortality there. In six years he appeared in 20 Hollywood features.
Herbert supported his family from the age of five and went from being one of the most desired and highest paid child actors of his time to one of the multitude of performers Hollywood "discarded" upon reaching maturity. His situation and the lifetime of damage it created for him have only recently come to light.
Early life[edit]
Herbert was born Charles Herbert Saperstein in Culver City, California. According to Herbert, his career began when he was discovered by an agent: "I just happened to be riding on a bus while on a shopping trip with my mother one day and a gentleman who was a talent agent in Hollywood, named Cosmo Morgan, saw me talking and must have thought I was cute or something. He gave me his card, which I immediately tried to give to the bus driver! That's basically how it started." [1]
Blue-eyed and freckle-faced, his first job was at age four on the television series, Half Pint Panel (1952). The Long, Long Trailer (1954) might have been his first movie, just after appearing in the stage production of On Borrowed Time at the Rancho Theatre. Auditioning with some forty other kids, they picked Herbert only to cut him out of the movie.
This period was highlighted with a celebrated performance at age eight for his role as a blind child on an episode of Science Fiction Theater (1956). Airing December 22, 1956, "The Miracle Hour" is about a man who never gives up hope that his fiance's blind six-year-old son will not have to spend the holidays in darkness. Herbert starred with Dick Foran and Jean Byron.
What followed included roles in such popular and cult films as The View from Pompey's Head (1955); The Night Holds Terror (1956); These Wilder Years (1956), with James Cagney and Barbara Stanwyck; Gunfight at the O.K. Corral (1957); The Colossus of New York (1958); The Fly (1958); Houseboat (1958); The Man in the Net (1959), with Alan Ladd; The Five Pennies; Please Don't Eat the Daisies (1960) and 13 Ghosts (1960), in which producer/director William Castle gave him top billing at the age of 12 in order to secure his services.
Herbert's final feature film and starring role was in The Boy and the Pirates (1960), produced and directed by Bert I. Gordon (Mr. B.I.G.), the master of giant monster films, co-starring his daughter Susan. Herbert and Susan Gordon had previously worked together in The Man in the Net (1959), the hospital scene in The Five Pennies (1959) and a TV pilot episode entitled The Secret Life of John Monroe (aka The Secret Life of James Thurber). The 30-minute unsold pilot aired as the "Christabel" episode of Alcoa/Goodyear Playhouse, June 8, 1959. Very rarely seen, The Boy and the Pirates was released by Sony Pictures Home Entertainment as a Midnite Movies double DVD set with the more recent Crystalstone (1988), on June 27, 2006. An interest in pirate films was generated by Walt Disney Company's theatrical release of Johnny Depp's Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, on July 7, 2006.
During his peak, he was performing non-stop with multiple projects completed each year. By 1959, Herbert had achieved a lofty place among the most desired and highest paid child actors of his time, making nearly $1650 per week. He had established for himself both the reputation and the nickname of "One-Take Charlie." Of his acting style, one reviewer described Herbert as, "Sincere, accurate, ever over-annunciated at times, like a storybook character come to life. An extraordinary child actor by any standard. Herbert's intense emotive quality is very much of the method acting school, highly unusual in such a young performer." [2]
Herbert's work had him opposite Cary Grant, Sophia Loren, David Niven, Vincent Price, Johnny Carson, Donna Reed, Doris Day, and Ross Martin, for all of whom he has high praise for their treatment of him. "Anybody who is in that category (a well-known actor) who is nice to the children is a nice person. 'Cause I worked with some who were not. Children and animals are not big favorites with movie stars." [1]
Starring screen roles in the 1950s soon evaporated and Herbert was relegated to TV appearances in the 1960s. Growing into that typically awkward teen period, he was forced to subsist on whatever episodic roles he could muster, including bits on Wagon Train (1957), Rawhide (1959), The Twilight Zone (1962), The Fugitive (1963), Hazel (1963), Family Affair (1966) and My Three Sons (1966).
Herbert's career amassed twenty feature films, over fifty TV shows and a number of commercials during his youthful 14-year span.
" | I'm a big movie fan, I always have been, but I've never been a big science fiction fan. It's the only category of movies I'm not a fan of... I love comedies, I love dramas, action... For some reasons, science fiction and horror movies have never been [appealing] to me. Maybe it's because of all the work I did in it. | " |
Personal life[edit]
Because of the studio attitude towards child actors of the time, Herbert has a keen interest in the child actors of today. "I lost a lot more than the financial things. Financial things are way down the list for me. The way that it's set up in Hollywood is, I did 50 TV shows, the 20 movies, the commercials, all of that stuff... and when I turned 21, zero was put away in the bank for me. It was not that way for every (kid actor): If you signed a long-term contract, like for instance if you did Lassie or The Donna Reed Show or something, they put away like five percent for you. But if you were not on a long-term contract, ALL of the money you earned for the movies, for ALL the TV things, went to your guardians, and your guardians could do with it whatever they saw fit." The only money put away for him until age 21 from his TV and film earnings was $1,700.[1]
Describing his studio education as "non-existent," Herbert attended public schools (Melrose, Bancroft, Fairfax High), rather than one of the private schools tailored to the unique needs of child actors. "My parents made that mistake, without malice; they were not too familiar (with the problems that child actors face)." He made up the story that he had a twin brother—-that it was not him his classmates were seeing in movies and on TV. Referencing his role in the sci-fi movie classic The Fly, he says, "Back in those days, the very few people who did know I was an actor, when they were kidding me they'd go, Help me, help me, help meeee!"... [1]
"Herbert was always happiest and at his best when he was performing. A talented actor, he felt secure and confident when the cameras rolled, but like many child actors, he faced difficulties adjusting to the real world beyond the controlled environment inside the studio walls. The career of a child actor often creates a profoundly troubling lack of identity at a difficult time, just after he has lost his commercial value" [3] with the onset of puberty.
Unable to transition into adult roles, Herbert's personal life went downhill as well. With no formal education or training to do anything else and with no career earnings saved, he led a reckless, wanderlust life and turned to drugs. [1]
Recent activity[edit]
With no family of his own, it took Herbert nearly 40 years to turn his life around. Clean and sober since August, 2004, his films, now reaching new generations of fans via DVD and cable TV, and his appearances at science fiction film festivals and conventions sustain him.[1]
He has expressed deep appreciation of the work Paul Petersen's organization, A Minor Consideration, has done for assisting present and former child actors both financially and emotionally. Herbert and Petersen played brothers together in the film Houseboat (1958) starring Cary Grant and Sophia Loren, and he guest-starred four times as David Barker from 1958 to 1960 on Peterson's ABC series, The Donna Reed Show.
Charles Herbert has appeared annually for the past six years in the celebrity lineup at the Monster Bash, held each June, at the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Airport Four Points with his The Boy and the Pirates co-star Susan Gordon.
