Changing the Way We Think About Prevention (Blog)
We're proud to unveil our new logo bearing the pinwheel!
As we kick-off Child Abuse Prevention Month today, we are proud to unveil our new logo and that of our 50 state chapters featuring the pinwheel!
Since the launch of the Pinwheels for Prevention® campaign in April 2008, when the pinwheel was first introduced as the national child abuse prevention symbol, it has come to stand for the great childhoods all children deserve because our children are our future.
And yet as much as the pinwheel moves us, it cannot move on its own. Be the force that moves the pinwheel and help bring about real change for children this April by:
- Volunteering at your local chapter,
- Creating a fundraising page for the Day of Giving on April 7,
- Planting your own Pinwheel Garden, or
- Giving today to support great childhoods for all children
Join us this April and you can help make Child Abuse Prevention Month a great success!
IL First Lady Diana Rauner and Ald. Mary O'Connor team with Prevent Child Abuse America to Mark April as Child Abuse Prevention Month
First Lady Rauner, 41st Ward Alderman Mary O'Connor, Prevent Child Abuse America and its Illinois chapter will open Child Abuse Prevention Month with "Pinwheel Garden" at two Northwest side schools
CHICAGO, IL, MARCH 27, 2015 – Illinois First Lady Diana Rauner and 41st Ward Alderman Mary O'Connor are teaming with Prevent Child Abuse America and its Illinois chapter on Tuesday, April 1, at the Wildwood and St. Mary of the Woods Elementary Schools to call the city, state and nation to act in support of providing great childhoods for all children because our children are our future.
The Chicago "Big Pinwheel Garden" kicks-off a month-long series of events for Prevent Child Abuse America and its 50 state chapters nationwide to mark April as Child Abuse Prevention Month. At the center of these activities will be the pinwheel, the national symbol for child abuse prevention, first unveiled by Prevent Child Abuse America through its national Pinwheels for Prevention® campaign in April 2008. In fact, with these events on April 1st, Prevent Child Abuse America and its chapters will be unveiling a new organizational logo featuring the pinwheel.
Additional Chicago area efforts to look for in April will include:
- Pinwheel gardens on display at many of the other 21 schools in the 41st ward
- Pinwheel gardens at 2 N. Riverside Plaza, Illinois Center and 600 W. Chicago where passers-by can take pinwheels and submit photos or videos with them using the hashtag #greatchildhoods
- The message "#Great Childhoods!" in window lights on the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois building at 300 E. Randolph from April 10 to 12
"The importance of investing in early child development and preventing child maltreatment cannot be underestimated," said Diana Rauner, the First Lady of Illinois and the president of the Ounce of Prevention Fund. "I'm joining Prevent Child Abuse America and its Illinois chapter today to pledge continued support for emphasizing the importance of healthy starts for all children, and I encourage everyone in the city and state to pledge the same this April."
Because of the correlation between parental stress and isolation and child maltreatment, Prevent Child Abuse America advocates simple, everyday actions that help reduce stress and isolation and therefore reduce child maltreatment. Some activities that people can do during Child Abuse Prevention Month include:
- Offer to babysit or cook for a friend or relative who is feeling the stress of work and child rearing so that the parent can have the chance to rest and recharge
- Volunteer at pre- and after-school programs so that kids have a nurturing and educational environment where parents can safely leave their children while at work
- Donate to programs that provide services to children and families
- Learn more about programs such as home visiting, which enhance early child development, and advocate for their availability in your neighborhood.
"Simple actions can make a difference, and I am proud to be joining First Lady Rauner and Prevent Child Abuse America in doing what I can to make a difference during April," said Alderman O'Connor. "Let's all work together to play a role in the prevention of abuse and neglect and working to make great childhoods a reality for all children in Chicago and nationwide."
"As we continue our work to make an impact on the lives of children and families, we hope that others grow to recognize and celebrate the pinwheel in the same way that we do today," said Jim Hmurovich, President and & CEO of Prevent Child Abuse America. "At the same time, it is important to remember, while the pinwheel symbolizes the great childhoods we want for all children, it cannot move by itself. We need people to be the force that moves the pinwheel to bring about real change for children in the United States."
Prevent Child Abuse America, founded in 1972 in Chicago, works to ensure great childhoods for all children because our children are our future. The organization promotes that vision through a network of chapters in 50 states and more than 625 Healthy Families America home visitation sites in 39 states, the U.S. Territories, Puerto Rico and Canada, serving over 85,000 families annually. A major organizational focus is to advocate for the existence of a national policy framework and strategy for children and families while promoting evidence-based practices that prevent abuse and neglect from ever occurring. To learn more about what we're doing to prevent child abuse and neglect and how you can help, please visit our websites at www.preventchildabuse.org or www.healthyfamiliesamerica.org.
Child Advocates Descend on DC in Defense of Home Visiting and Abuse Prevention
Representatives from Prevent Child Abuse America's 50 state network are in Washington to advocate for two laws that are critical to the healthy development of children and families.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Advocates from every state in the Prevent Child Abuse America 50 state chapter network are in the nation's capital today, advocating for key pieces of legislation that are proven to improve the lives of children and families nationwide.
Prevent Child Abuse Executive Directors and advocates from around the nation are calling for the reauthorization of the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) program and for the Child Abuse and Prevention Treatment Act (CAPTA) to be fully funded.
MIECHV supports evidence-based home visiting initiatives that provide the support, experience and knowledge critical to success during pregnancy and through the first few years of a child's life. Among the programs supported by MIECHV is Healthy Families America (HFA), Prevent Child Abuse America's signature prevention program, that provides more than 86,000 families annually with services that are proven to increase the knowledge and skill of parents, improve the early learning abilities of children, reduce incidences of child maltreatment, and improve overall family self-sufficiency.
Currently, MIECHV is set to expire at the end of March. If Congress fails to reauthorize MIECHV, tens of thousands of families across the country would lose access to home visiting services like HFA, and thousands of family support workers would find their jobs in jeopardy.
CAPTA is a historic law that dates to 1974 and is one of the major ways that the federal government funds state programs that prevent and reduce child abuse and neglect. In fiscal year 2015, CAPTA state grants were funded at a level of $26 million, a number so low that resulted in some states receiving less than $100,000 to cover the costs associated with child protection, reporting, and investigation of claims.
Calling this level of funding "beyond inadequate," advocates from Prevent Child Abuse America are requesting that Congress fund CAPTA state grants at a minimum level of $30 million.
"MIECHV and CAPTA are two of the major ways that the federal government help ensure that families and children have access to the programs and services that help them thrive," said James M. Hmurovich, President and CEO of Prevent Child Abuse America. "These programs desperately need to be reauthorized and fully funded so that we can not only reduce incidences of child abuse and neglect, but move our country closer to the ideal in which no child is ever abused or neglected and every family is equipped to give their children the best lives possible."

shrub ID (4 pics)
Here is a shrub I'd like to identify.
height: 4 feet
light: shady
location: north Florida, upland, sandy soil
Thanks. I did some research and found a list of Vaccinium species native to Florida (from online Atlas of Fl Vascular Plants).
V. arboreum
V. corymbosum
V. darrowii*
V. myrsinites*
V. stamineum
*It's definitely not V. darrowii or myrsinites, and probably not V. arboreum. The dwarf blueberry and sparkleberry are pretty common in my yard. My neighbor had quite a few native blueberries in his yard so they must do well here too. I used to go over and pick them sometimes. But, he is a lawn person and ended up clear cutting most of the native vegetation.
Here is a link that might be useful: ISB: Atlas of Florida Vascular Plants
It's not arboreum, that has much more rounded leaves. And it's not stamineum, that has more horizontal, almost layered shape. I agree it's not the other two you already ruled out either.
That just leaves V. corymbosum, I guess. Too bad about your neighbor. ;)

Aveva announced that CSC Jinling Shipyard in Greater China has signed a new contract for Aveva Net software, upon which an integrated design information management system will be deployed.
CSC Jinling Shipyard has grown over recent years, extending its operations across multiple sites. To optimize these distributed and complex operations, Aveva Net was selected to integrate information from engineering, design and enterprise resource management systems across all of its geographic locations. Using Aveva Net, CSC Jinling will benefit from more efficient design and construction, higher quality across the entire business process, and significantly reduced delivery times and costs.
"CSC Jinling Shipyard evaluated other information management systems and selected Aveva Net following a process that lasted over a year." said Mr. Jiang Jiazhong, the shipyard deputy director. "CSC Jinling Shipyard has great confidence in AVEVA and we look forward to working with them."
Aveva Net will assist CSC Jinling Shipyard to standardize and simplify its design management across multiple sites. All design, engineering, planning, materials management and production data will be handled by a centralized digital information hub. Once information is published, and validated for accuracy, users will be able to see all associated models, plans and technical datasheets, and collaborate through mark-ups and workflow approvals.
CSC Jinling Shipyard consulted with other shipyards and conducted a full evaluation of different solutions, during which the Aveva team worked with the organization to fully understand its requirements. The flexibility of Aveva Net provided the capability to create an integrated information management system that meets CSC Jinling Shipyard's long-term business objectives.
"While CSC Jinling Shipyard has a number of unique requirements, it also shares many of the same technical and business challenges overcome by Aveva customers in many other industries," said Paul Eveleigh, EVP and Head of Greater China, Aveva. "This is one of the reasons that Aveva Net has been so successful right across the process plant, power and marine sectors. Information should be accessible across the shipyard, regardless of the system in which it was created. The Aveva Net suite of products enables customers to collaborate on critical digital information, by making it accessible to all through a simple, intuitive browser interface. The result is that the right information is available to the right people, at the right time."

Chances for a Tizen Smartphone Entry
Available Game Engines
Everybody knows that smartphone consumers are enchanted by platforms stocked with eye-catching games. A number of companies providing game platforms, engines and more than a dozen game technologies have come forward to meet Tizen's game needs, including big names like Havok, Unity 3D, Yoyo Games, Marmalade and Gamesalad. Tizen's potential as a game platform is attracting independent developers of HTML5 technology as well, with companies like Sencha Touch providing JavaScript abstraction libraries for accelerated development.
Tizen managers and developers alike are working to provide a variety of game engines to early adopters with hopes of offering games from industry giants like Unity.
Primary Game Hardware and Market Size
Speaking on behalf of one of the largest game engines, Unity General Manager John Goodale emphasizes ubiquity when speaking of a giant mobile market large enough to accommodate a number of new technologies. The smartphone market supports an "explosive industry that is growing very rapidly", states Mr Goodale. "There's not just room for two or three or a handful of players", rather "the market can extend to as far as we can effectively execute", he says. Regarding the ubiquitous nature of mobile technology creeping into our lives over time, Mr Goodale continues, "some things have become so commonplace that we hardly notice them", and that according to Juniper Research, mobile devices like Tizen smartphones likely will be the primary hardware for gaming by 2016.
Figure 5. Some things are so commonplace that we hardly notice them. (GNU Free Documentation License 1.3)
Referring to Unity's decision to support Tizen (as well as Tizen's entry in the smartphone market) Mr Goodale summarizes, "Jump on in, the water's warm."
Uninspiring Ubiquity or Technical Distinction
A number of technical characteristics set Tizen apart from other systems with similar mobile-oriented goals. Aside from any number of eye-candy features likely to be implemented close to a first device launch date, Tizen designers will need to strive for unique features to secure technical distinction that sets Tizen apart from its competition. Consumers interested in such unique technology include a number of actors along the technical "food chain" starting with designers to programmers and finally end users.
Tizen may raise a few eyebrows. Aside from being packed with familiar Linux technology, Tizen sports some unique features like dynamic boxes and hybrid application packages.
The Filesystem
For Linux users, first and foremost is the familiar layout of Tizen's internal filesystem. Most configuration can be found in /etc, runtime variable state in /var, user files in /home/<user>, temporary files in /tmp and so on. While security abstraction measures exist to mark and protect certain regions (SMACK), this filesystem familiarity will surely provide comfort to some.
Dynamic Boxes
Tizen puts forth the concept of dynamic boxes, small Web applications embedded inside other applications, to provide users with dynamically updated content. The rich Tizen API exposed to provide dynamic box logic supports the dynamic box with an independent life cycle. At runtime, Tizen's Web runtime has the ability to control the life cycle of dynamic boxes.
Ownership and Other End-User Freedoms
Compared with nearly all existing mobile platforms, Tizen offers an unrivaled degree of end-user freedom. A user can modify or replace any part of the platform right down to the kernel and low-level security layers. Rather than blurring the lines of free license by releasing binary blobs of kernel and libc while publishing only sanitizing header files, Tizen's GNU/Linux kernel and other sources are complete, on-line and publicly accessible. Developers can pull a copy of these sources and build their own Tizen image ready for installation to hardware. It remains to be seen if operators will implement tricky bootloaders to lock terminals to custom kernels and certain Tizen drivers depending on proprietary microcode (like the modem providing cellular voice communication), but as far as platforms go, Tizen provides the end user with far-reaching freedoms.
Breadth of Supporting Architecture
Arguably, from a development perspective, Tizen's unique platform architecture sets it apart from nearly all competitors with the exception of Blackberry. Tizen's architects eyed a variety of device types from the beginning, leading to a flexible architecture that will accommodate all sorts of tablets, desktops, vehicle terminals (IVI), television consoles and others once the first wave of smartphone handsets is rolled out. Furthermore, Tizen's layered architecture features core components and frameworks providing APIs to high-level applications of a variety of technologies. This breadth of logic will appeal to developers of Web, native, hybrid and third-party technologies alike.

So far, I've been keeping all my pumpkin recipes super healthy. Well, it's almost Halloween, so it's high time we get some sugar up in here!
The real reason I couldn't resist this recipe (via Joy the Baker ) is because it incorporates butterscotch chips or "morsels," as Toll House calls them. I love butterscotch chips. They are totally underrated and, in my opinion, show up in far too few recipes. When I saw this recipe, I knew I was making them. It's also a very simple recipe — I had all the ingredients on hand. If you don't have a butterscotch addiction like I do, you may have to make a morsel run. You won't regret it.
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup canola or corn oil
1 cup canned pumpkin
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup butterscotch chips
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
Stir the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon together in a medium bowl and set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together with an electric mixer.
Add the oil, pumpkin, and vanilla and mix until blended. It will turn the color of Halloween and smell like cake batter.
If you're me, try not to wet yourself.
Add the flour mixture slowly, until it is thoroughly blended, and the batter is thick.
Get out the piece de resistance!
Stir in the morsels! Then line two baking sheets with wax paper and spray with cooking spray. Using a small spoon, scoop globs (there's no other word for it, you'll understand if you make them) of the dough onto the lined sheets.
Do not make the rounds too big! I did that at first, and ended up with the most massive pumpkin pillows. Try to keep them neat and cute.
Bake the cookies one sheet at a time until the tops feel firm and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out dry, about 16 minutes.
Cool them on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then use a wide metal spatula to transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
Ahhh, look at that little cutie!!
Immediately after baking these, I went out and shared them with a friend, her mom, and her sister. They were tearing into them. I came home and several were missing from the original batch — apparently, my family was tearing into them too! But they really are that good. It's the butterscotch, I swear! That stuff is magical!! They would be great for a party (yep, I'll be having them at my party), because they just are so delicious.
We discussed them again the next day and everyone agreed that they are some of the best cookies in existence. They are really cake-like. I didn't use cake flour, but they have that springy texture of cake. They aren't at all crunchy, and everyone has agreed this is what makes them so good!
I also feel kind of bad throwing this out there, but I'm going to go ahead and say it — vanilla ice cream would make them even better (if that's possible). If you're in the mood to treat yourself, this is seriously the way to do it!

My wife has been using my older D70s for a while, but it's getting just a bit long in the tooth for her.I'm leaning towards getting her a new body so that she can use my lenses when she want's too, and the D3000 is on my short list. (Along with a refurb D40).The D70s isn't too big for her, but she would like a body even a bit smaller than that. How does the D3000 feel in the hand? Does it feel smaller/lighter than the D70?I probably won't be able to go to a store to handle one before I get it for her as a gift, so I'm asking here. (Outage schedules:Great overtime, no free time!)Thanks for any help/opinions!

>I'm leaning towards getting her a new body so that she can use>my lenses when she want's too...Several of the lenses you list in your profile don't have focusing motors, so they would not autofocus on a D3000. So, if you want her to be able to use ALL your lenses, the D3000 might not be the right choice.I see the appeal of a new camera, but the D70s still ought to produce great results. I have a D50 (similar vintage) that I still use a lot, even though I also have a D300, and for most purposes, the resulting photos from the old camera are just as good as from the new one.Randy
The D5000 is noticebaly smaller than a D80 - I compared the two this evening.The D3000 is a tad smaller (ie less height as no tilting LCD) than the D5000.I'd look long and hard at the D5000 - the video is very useful as is the tilting LCD. It is very well specc'd and has a state of the art sensor with far better low light performance than the D3000.Life and light wait for no man!W i l lNikonian in Bogor, West Javawww.willsymonds.comwww.willsymonds.blogspot.comhttp://www.nikonians-images.org/galleries/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=123586

Learn how easy it is to sync an existing GitHub or Google Code repo to a SourceForge project! See Demo
Hi all,
As reported on the csound list, using an event opcode call with "e"
properly shuts down csound. From my initial tests, this makes notes
which should be truncated do so in a way to sound correctly (which is
the most important thing). Notes with start times before the
renderStartTime are still not sounded, which is all one can do in this
case, and I believe the way most MIDI environments work.
I'm excited by all of this! ^_^
Okay, so I am eager to release this by tonight if after some more
testing it looks good to me. If anyone with CVS access reports errors
though I'll wait an extra day or two. Also together with the looping,
I've added a bit of code to ignore calling note generation and other
CSD render methods on soundObjects that can't possibly contribute to
the end CSD (if they're start times are after the end time or end
times are before the start time). It's help speed up compile times
for when not working with the entire project, which at least has been
noticable to me.
Thanks again everyone for your feedback!

I've made a few batches of Apfelwein here and there. My brother Dave, on the other hand made his first batch at my place back in October of 07 (4 Months ago) In Nov, he tasted my first batch which was about 4 months old at that point, and decided he wasn't really keen on Apfelwein.
So his batch just sat....getting better and smoother and... wait... WTF?... what is that growing on the top?
So I took some pics to show you. I have some questions: Is it bad or is it Brett? I pulled the stopper & airlock and it definitely smells sour (like bad milk)
What other "nasties" could this be?
The Apfelwein is nice & clear and there is no sediment at the bottom (it's been racked twice - that's where I think I picked up whatever nasty is in there) I'm all for just dumping it, but the little guy inside my head keeps on saying...go ahead, keg it, drink it... it might be good.
Some of you maybe have been down this road and can shed a little light on it.
here are the pics
I really don't think it would be Brettanomyces. It might be Acetobacter or Lactobacillus, which will make the cider sour, a good indicator is the rotten milk smell (lactic acid). It could end up being the yeast you used, so don't dump yet, let it sit and taste it after a month or two.
As recommended, I let her sit for another two months, still has the infection... anyway, had an idea.
Question: If I killed everything off with some Camden Tablets (crushed) and added a few cans of apple cider concentrate, would it be drinkable? anyone ever do this? ideas, suggestions, warnings? I've gotta try something here... you know, just for the sake of experimentation...
IMHO, the best that can happen is you get drunk off a sour/smelly drink. The worst is that you get some bacterial disease in your stomach or intestines.
To me... that says: "Spend another $20 on some more juice and just try it again."
try a sip...if it taste like...something undesirable...throw it out.....but you gotta try it.
What yeast did you use? How old is your AW?
Where is Landhoney when you need him? I bet hes got an idea or two up his sleeve!
That does look pretty gnarly though John, see if it tastes like vinegar and bottle a bit of it up for cleaning and or cooking.
Maybe you can gently rack into a smaller container without transferring over that stuff and then add k-meta . Looks like it has had way to much head space in there and all that 02 is also a problem due to that. 4 months with that much head space and low S02 will let any micro-organisms come to life.
Yeah, but you've gotta get it away from that head asap.

FOR U.S. troops in Iraq who oppose the war for oil and empire they were sent to fight, speaking out can be dangerous. But three soldiers—whose pen names are hEkLe, Heretic and Joe Public—found that their consciences made it more difficult not to speak out.
Each spent about a year in Iraq. Throughout their tours, they earned a reputation for reporting the truth—on their Web log at ftssoldier.blogspot.com—about what was taking place in occupied Iraq. Their dispatches have also been featured in Thomas Bartons GI Special, a daily Internet newsletter for soldiers and military families, available on the Web at www.militaryproject.org.
In mid-April, Heretic spoke to Socialist Workers ERIC RUDER about his experiences, observations and opinions of the U.S. occupation. Here, we print excerpts of the conversation.
IS THE best course for the U.S. to withdraw immediately?
THE SITUATION in Iraq is getting worse every day. The longer I was there, I saw more and more abuse of the Iraqi people by U.S. soldiers. I dont think the problem is going to go away with force of arms.
Its obvious that the longer we stay there, we build more and more enemies throughout not only Iraq, but the entire world.
If were talking about securing the nation and whats best for Americans, its obvious that the right thing to do is pull out. If we can get the United Nations or other more diplomatic solutions to the problem, thats better, but immediate withdrawal is the first step in resolving this whole problem.
If you talk to Iraqis, the difference between the American occupation and Saddam Hussein is that Iraq is a less-safe environment with the Americans there. We get attacked constantly, and the victims of those attacks are usually Iraqis, not Americans—through collateral damage.
Saddam Hussein had a dictatorship, but now, Iraqis are getting pulled over on the road and hijacked, and there are more gangs, more rapes, more murder. Its not safe to walk the streets at night for Iraqis. Theyre either going to get shot by an American or held up by an insurgent.
All they want is for the Americans to leave so they can solve their own problems.
People in America and the rest of the world were lied to at least four times to bring on this war. Obviously, the weapons of mass destruction issue is a farce—there are no weapons of mass destruction.
In fact, in my opinion, the only reason we went is because we knew for certain they didnt have weapons of mass destruction.
IN OTHER words, the U.S. invaded because it figured Iraq couldnt retaliate with chemical, biological or nuclear weapons.
WAR IS money.
If we went in and Iraq retaliated with nuclear arms, I think that would reflect very badly on the Bush administration, which is a lot more intelligent than the average American thinks. If the reasons we went in are exposed as false, then obviously, theyre not the true reasons that the administration had for going in.
I think in many ways that the U.S. has succeeded with the Iraq mission. Its just that the American people dont understand or believe what the true goals of the Bush administration were.
After the 1991 Gulf War, Iraqs army was run down, there was horrible training, equipment was depleted. Basically, the military was crumbing. And chemical and biological weapon toxins have a certain shelf life. So any chemicals that Iraq had before the war would have been mostly useless by the time the weapons inspectors arrived a few years ago.
The idea that there was an immediate threat of a nuclear attack is ridiculous. We had a no-fly zone over Iraq, so to launch a ballistic missile, they would have had to set it up and prepare to launch it, without us attacking them and shooting it down. Thats ridiculous, considering we had been launching bombing missions since the 1991 war up to the second occupation of Iraq.
So its my belief that we attacked Iraq knowing that they didnt have capabilities to release a nuclear weapon, or even a biological or chemical weapon against our troops.
Another lie we were told was that the war was waged to destroy Saddam Hussein and the Baathist regime. If that was our only goal, its obvious we completed it, and we still havent pulled out.
Another lie was the supposed al-Qaeda and 9/11 links to the Baathist regime. The 9/11 commission—made up of five Republicans and five Democrats—concluded that the evidence of this link was false.
The fourth lie is Iraqi freedom.
In my opinion, we may have set up a constitution and had the first elections in Iraq, but I dont think were going anywhere anytime soon.
Weve increased our building and construction on bases—the infrastructure for soldiers to get there and operate in Iraq is increasing every day. Were spending billions of dollars to grow our bases and our military strength in Iraq, and theres no sign that were going to pull out just because we freed Iraq
Those are the four lies that soldiers and the public have been given to enter Iraq for unjust reasons.
Gaining control of that nation, its oil and its people—even to create a capitalism there with consumers in a whole new nation for products of the West—is definitely a major goal.
HOW DOES the military shape the attitudes of soldiers toward Iraqis?
IRAQ IS a really easy victim for the U.S. to inflict war on. Most people are afraid of what they dont understand, and they attack what theyre afraid of. Arabic people—their culture, their language, their history, their way of life—are alien to the average person in the U.S. When a soldier gets thrown into that environment, theres a lot of confusion there.
You go there with all these lies built up that youre going to help these people, and theyre turning around and shooting at you. It doesnt take long before the average American soldier is going to have prejudice against the Iraqi people.
Soldiers dont understand why theyre there, theyve got a bunch of people shooting at them, and theyre frustrated that theyre in the situation at all. And they dont have the power to blame the right people—the people who are in charge—because soldiers can be brought up on disciplinary charges, kicked out of the military and sent to prison.
The only people left to hate are the Iraqi people, because soldiers are allowed to abuse them and shoot at them.
Every day, we see a man get pulled out of his car at a checkpoint, strip searched, thrown to the ground and abused by American soldiers. American soldiers are afraid of this man and afraid of car bombs, but meanwhile, this man is getting humiliated while his wife and children are watching from the car. That humiliation is occurring every day to the Iraqi people.
Its hard to say that its the soldiers fault because were all victims of this war and thrown into this situation. Not a lot of people have an understanding of the big picture—to realize why the situation is affecting them the way that it is. So the average soldier takes out all that anger and aggression on the Iraqi people, especially after being there for a year, sometimes a year and a half—thats far too long.
HOW HAVE you come to understand the Iraqi resistance?
I THINK that to lump all the resistance in Iraq together is ignorance. The complexity of the resistance goes far beyond one definition. There are many resistance fighters, and they all have their own goals. There are certainly warlords out there who are only out for a dollar, and to gain control or power.
But the average farmer in Iraq whos resisting is grossly tired of the U.S. occupation. There are many different facets to the resistance—just as many different facets as there are in America. If you ask an average citizen why they support the war in Iraq, youll get a different reason from 100 people down the line. Its the same in Iraq for people who resist.
To have compassion and understanding for all of them—thats an alternate form of humanity. It cant be seen as betrayal to the country to understand someone whos in a difficult place. Just because there are two sides in a war, it doesnt necessarily make one correct. I think thats where Americans get derailed.
There are men over there who are cutting peoples heads off—thats obviously wrong, and nobodys going to support that.
But what were doing over there is wrong in a lot of ways as well. So if someone feels sympathetic to the Iraqi people and some of the resisters, that doesnt mean that they condone cutting peoples heads off.
I think there are two negatives in the whole soup. In the long run, were the ones that made the pre-emptive strike, and were the ones inside Iraq, so the logical solution and the cure to this problem is to leave Iraq.
Then there wont be any IEDs killing American soldiers, there wont be any RPG attacks. There wouldnt be people cutting off peoples heads if we werent in Iraq.
DO YOU think that the U.S. has an obligation to keep soldiers in Iraq in order to fix the problems that it created?
IN MY time in Iraq, Ive seen more schools close than open.
Ive seen more roads explode in front of me than Ive seen fixed.
Ive seen the infrastructure deteriorate every day that were there.
Were not solving the problem by having soldiers there on the ground.
The way to solve the problem is instead of spending billions and billions of dollars on a military campaign on Iraq, maybe we should spend it in more diplomatic and helpful areas.
Staying there and trying to keep the peace is an oxymoron.
Were not there to create peace.
Were there creating war.

It took 15 years for the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins to create their own Hall of Fame, but there's a good reason, according to team CEO Jeff Barrett.
"You have to have some history to create some history," he said.
Now, as the Penguins enter their 15th season, the organization feels that enough players have come through, and made an impact, that a Hall of Fame is warranted.
So do the fans.
According to Barrett, voting for the first class opened Wednesday, and in less than a day, the Penguins received more than 300 emails with fans' choices.
In order to be considered for inclusion, players must meet the following requirements:
• Must have spent parts of at least two seasons in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton
• Been retired from professional hockey for at least two full seasons
• Made a significant contribution to the Penguins and community, either on the ice or off
"It's not just about their play on the ice, it's about how they worked with the community, their teammates, the organization and the fans," Barrett said. "It encompasses everything."
And it's bound to spark some lively debate over who deserves a Hall of Fame nod and who doesn't. Barrett views that as a positive.
"I think the discussion will get emotional and it's fun because people are excited to make their case for their favorite player," he said. "They're actively involved."
Selections will be determined by combining fans votes along with input from local media members and Penguins front office representatives. The inaugural Penguins Hall of Fame class will be announced during the month of October 2013. Barrett hopes to have the players representing the first Hall of Fame class come to a home game for a ceremony, but that will all depend on their schedules and availability, he said.
As more former Penguins retire and reach the eligibility requirements, the list of potential Hall of Famers will expand, Barrett said.

Dear Senator Boxer,
S.3520 needs to be passed immediately. There are 15 million Americans who are "unemployed through no fault of their own," and who are also frantically attempting to find new jobs that do not exist. The majority of these 15 million have a family dependent upon their income, so that increases the number to possibly 30 or even 45 million Americans who are in imminent danger of losing everything. When this happens, the financial and moral ramifications for this country will be dire indeed. I'll say it again— S.3520 needs to be passed immediately! Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
- This extention on unemployment has to be passed. I'am an American and have been unemployed since dec 2009.I look for work almost everyday with no luck at all!This is the first time in my 42 yrs of life that I havent had a job.An American born and raised in here, who needs your help! I have finished my 28 weeks of unemployment, and have no teir 1 or extention to help me with my bills.THIS BILL ON JULY 12TH NEEDS TO BE PASSED IMMEDIATELY!Or I go on the street to live. Vote yes! I thank you for your attention on this matter.

Dear Mrs Boxer: Important heads up: There are not still unemployed people in serious trouble out there! Just because (statistically!) Unemployment is (apparently) fallen, DO NOT FORGET US!… I represent this group. I am 55 years young. I've served my country for 21 years in the USN. I've worked for 14 more years after that. In June 2009, I was laid off. I've been searching since. I've lost my home. I've lost my car. I've lost my dog (had to put her down because the apartments I'm living in could not take her.). My son is going to college this fall, and I have no way to help him. I can barely feed us, and I'm not sure how I'm going to keep the lights on.
without Unemployment Insurance, I will no longer be able to pay for telephones & internet. Hard to search for a job without them. Next, I will lose my remaining car, my apartment. What's next? A very large cardboard box for the six of us?
Mrs Boxer: stand up in the Senate and shout "I will not stand for this!!!"

Pass the tax break for all income below $250K per year, and leave the Republicans pressing for extensions to the richest Americans without "Paying for it". Republicans have been saying that all bills should be paid for with off set spending cuts, but they have not made any such cuts known regarding their desire for the richest of the rich to get richer. MAKE IT SIMPLE, you guys can look like champions of the American people. Let them look like the greedy, disconnected elitests that they are. Have half a brain, conscious, and soul all in one small step. In God WE Pray,…

Ms. Boxer, if you truly represent your constituents, you must vote NO on "Protect IP" and "SOPA."
