Providing Timely and Quality Health Benefits to Every Veteran
As a veteran, I understand the sacrifices that the men and women of the Armed Forces and their families have made to defend our nation's freedoms. I've been disturbed by the reports of misconduct at some of the Veterans Administration medical facilities around the country. Every veteran deserves the access to the top-quality healthcare they earned through their service.
I believe it's important that investigations continue to examine the care that veterans are receiving in Delaware and around the country and quickly identify solutions to fix the problem where we are currently falling short of providing the timely and thorough care our veterans deserve.
Last year I voted for legislation to address the issues facing the Department of Veterans Affairs. On July 31, 2014, the Senate passed H.R. 3230, the Veterans Access, Choice, and Accountability Act of 2014, which was subsequently signed into law by President Barack Obama. This legislation greatly improves veterans' access to health care services, particularly for those who have been waiting too long for essential care. The bill increases accountability for VA employees, while also providing the VA with the resources it needs to hire more doctors, nurses, and clinical staff to reduce wait times and maintain high-quality care at VA medical facilities across the country. Congress has sent a bill to the President that helps the Department of Veterans Affairs meet its responsibilities and, in the words of President Lincoln, 'To care for him who shall have borne the battle.' Congress, the President, and the leadership of the VA must continue working together to improve veterans' access to health care and to restore both veterans' and taxpayers' trust in the agency. My colleagues and I are continuing to review the ongoing implementation of this law, and review where improvements are still needed.
If you are a veteran, or you know a veteran, in need of care who has had trouble making an appointment, please visit my constituent services page to find contact information for my Delaware offices.
Listening to Veterans
Every year I hold a veterans summit at the Wilmington VA with veterans, veterans service organization representatives, and our local VA staff and leadership to discuss ongoing efforts to honor, serve, and care for veterans and ensure they receive the care and benefits they deserve.
At this year's veterans summit in March, we were fortunate to be joined by VA Secretary Robert A. McDonald. Secretary McDonald, a West Point graduate, was nominated by President Barack Obama to lead the VA at a difficult time. Recognizing Secretary McDonald's qualifications to lead, he was confirmed by the Senate 97-0.
During his visit, Secretary McDonald shared how he was restructuring the agency, focusing on fixing its problems, and making sure our veterans are the top priority. I am proud that we had the opportunity to host the Secretary in the First State and that he was able to meet with our veterans, VA medical center staff, and students at the University of Delaware. He is committed to providing the veterans who sacrificed so much for us with the care and benefits they rightly deserve and I will continue working with my colleagues in the Senate to carry out this critical mission.
Making Veterans Employment a Top Priority
As a veteran, I know firsthand the sacrifices members of our military make by defending our nation. We have a responsibility to ensure that our returning heroes have resources and opportunities when they arrive home. That's why, in 2012, I joined the new, bipartisan Senate Veterans Jobs Caucus, chaired by Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.V.) and Mark Kirk (R-Ill.). We formed this caucus to focus on ways to decrease the unemployment rate of our nation's 857,000 unemployed veterans, and we have committed to:
- Develop an "I Hire Veterans" Program that encourages veteran hiring within U.S. Senate offices.
- Hold monthly Member or staff-level events to share information on veterans employment initiatives.
- Monitor veterans employment issues by working with constituents, government and service organizations.
- Work with state, local and national employers on programs to hire veterans.
I joined this caucus because I am committed to ensuring our nation's service members are able to return to the civilian workforce and lead successful lives. As of August 2014, the number of unemployed veterans has decreased to 671,000. While we're making progress, we still have more work to do.
As part of my goal to help our veterans find jobs, I have joined with Senator Coons and Representative Carney to host multiple jobs fairs throughout Delaware just for our veterans.
Strengthening Veterans Education Benefits
We have a moral imperative to ensure that those who have sacrificed for our country obtain the best education possible, one that will equip them with the skills they need to find a good job, repay their college loans, and go on to live productive lives. When I returned from Southeast Asia, the G.I. Bill made it possible for me to go to business school at the University of Delaware. Our vets returning home from across the world today deserve the same – if not better – opportunities than I received all those years ago. That's why I introduced the Military and Veterans Education Protection Act of 2015. This legislation encourages all schools to provide high-quality educational opportunities to our service members and veterans, while ensuring that we get better results from taxpayer funded programs like the Post-9/11 G.I. Bill.

The Smiths were an English alternative rock band, formed in Manchester in 1982. Based on the song writing partnership of Morrissey (vocals) and Johnny Marr (guitar), the band also included Andy Rourke (bass) and Mike Joyce (drums). Critics have called them the most important alternative rock band to emerge from the British independent music scene of the 1980s. The group was signed to the independent record label Rough Trade Records, on which they released four studio albums, several compilations, and numerous non–LP singles. Although they had limited commercial success outside the UK while they were still together, and never released a single that charted higher than number 10 in their home country, The Smiths won a significant following, and remain cult and commercial favourites. The band broke up in 1987 and have turned down several offers to reunite since then.

A poll tax
Published September 8, 2012 1:01 am
This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2012, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.
In "Photo ID" (Forum, Aug. 31), Gary Teran argued in favor of requiring identification at the voting booth because we require it at airports, for passports, to drive a car and even at Costco.
There are a lot of citizens in this country who don't have a driver license, a passport, fly on airplanes or go to Costco. This describes my 92-year-old mother, who has voted in every election since 1941.
It sounds like Teran would like to go back to the good old days when, in order to vote, a person had to own property or be able to afford to pay a poll tax. It's Teran who's living in a fantasy. A dark fantasy.

Home ⋅ Graduation Announcements and Graduation Invitations ⋅ Blue ⋅ Gray ⋅ Tri-fold
"I absolutely LOVED this card. It was my first time ordering from Tiny Prints - the order was delivered on time as stated and the results were beautiful! I used this as my son's graduation announcement. The only issue I had, and it was a very small issue, was the choice of text size on the initial at the top. I wanted to use something different at the top, but could not because it locks withing a certain font size range. The cards look AWESOME with the pearl paper - it is well worth the extra cost. I can't say enough about how pleased I was!"
"This was my first time ordering from your company. My daughters graduation announcements were the most beautiful thing I could have imagined. Everything about them is perfect! Thank you."
"Fantastic graphics. Trifold product is cool and unique. Paper quality feels "rich." When your 18-year-old graduate thinks it's amazing, that says a lot!"
"I cannot say enough about this announcement. It is really unique and fun to design. Without knowing exactly what "pearl" is, I chose to pay the extra charge. It cannot be overstated how worth the extra cost was. It works as a polishing to an already beautiful card. Suggestion if you don't have enough pics to fill the card...I added a pic of a rose in one corner. Another suggestion...one photo wouldn't fit in any block without looking strange due to cropping too much. I cropped the photo in half and place the bottom half in the lower block and the top half in the upper block, moving it around to make a perfect match. It worked so well that I added it to a mug."
"Paper quality was good (I ordered the shimmer) Envelope quality was good (silver shimmer square) Picture quality was ok. I had to use raw files for them to look good. Not happy that the tiny prints logo was not color coordinated with the card, especially since it is on a functional part of the card. when the rest of the card is nicely coordinated in creams and browns and then the logo is black. I was not happy with this at all."

Urban and Peri-urban Forestry
Urban and peri-urban forestry
Urban and peri-urban forestry (UPF) is the practice of managing forests, groups of trees and individual trees in and around urban areas in order to maximize their economic, livelihood, social, cultural, environmental and biodiversity values. UPF can serve a range of purposes and thus takes many forms, covering natural and planted forests and trees, forests maintained in watersheds or in drylands, forests and wooded areas, green spaces and street trees, as well as trees in urban/peri-urban gardens.
"For the first time, more than half the world's population live in cities and towns. By extension, urban and peri-urban forestry is becoming the window through which people make judgements about all the worlds' trees and forests. We must ensure that cities, trees and forests grow together to meet the needs of urbanized societies and to convey the importance of all forests to life on our planet".
A Glance of Urban Forestry in Sweden
Thanks to the joint efforts of the Swedish Forest Agency and FAO, Ms Yujuan Chen (Junior Professional Officer of Urban and Peri-urban Forestry) was able to visit the Swedish Forest Agency headquarters in Jonkoping and the district office in Gothenburg in August, 2015. We would like to know what she has learned about urban forestry in Sweden during her trip.
Q1: What is your first impression about urban and peri-urban forestry in Sweden?
A1: I was very impressed by how green Sweden is. According to FRA 2015, about 70% of its land is covered by forests. The most important thing is that citizens have the right to utilize and enjoy these resources regardless of whether they are publicly or privately owned. For example, everyone can access forests to pick berries, collect mushrooms, walk and hike, and camp (only one night at the same place). In Jonkoping, I visited Vattenledningsparken, an urban park owned by Jonkoping municipality that is not far from the city center. It is a great recreational area for urban dwellers to connect with nature and enjoy quality time with family and friends (e.g., walking, hiking, exercising, fishing, picnicking, or relaxing). In Gothenburg, I visited a peri-urban forest owned by the city of Gothenburg that is very close to some residential areas. Urban dwellers can go there for walking, collecting mushrooms, or picking berries. At the same time, it is being managed for timber production and I found it was a good example of the balance between goods production and environmental service provision.
Q2: Can you share something you learned about social forestry, especially stakeholder involvement in forestry management in Sweden?
A2: In general, the focus of forest management in Sweden has changed over time based on society's needs. Production has been the main focus from the very beginning; then environmental aspects were added; recently, social aspects have also become an important consideration. Concerning stakeholder involvement in forest management, definitely there are many things that we can learn from Sweden. At the national level, the National Forest Sector Council is a good example of how to involve a wide range of stakeholders in the policy- and decision-making processes of forest management. Involved stakeholders include governmental agencies, research institutes, forest companies, NGOs, farmers associations, and private sectors. At the regional level, three Regional Forest Sector Councils were set up to involve stakeholders. At the local level, municipalities work very closely with their citizens. For example, municipalities will post notifications about any changes/modifications related to forest management and citizens have access to the information and can provide their feedback. Feedback is duly considered in the development of the forest management plan. In one word, the key for successful stakeholder involvement is transparency.
Q3: Is there anything that you want to highlight about your trip?
A3: I guess there are many things that I could list here, but I was really impressed by how much work Sweden has done and how advanced they are on the relationship between forests and human health. One unique thing about urban and peri-urban forestry is that it is not only about forests and trees but also about people. As Dr Dan Rydberg (an urban forestry expert working with the Swedish Forest Agency) said, the value of an urban and peri-urban forest is the result of its accessibility, quality, and usage. In Sweden, it is a tradition to walk in forests simply because people love forests. During my visit, I had chance to visit a green rehabilitation center- Gröna Rehab - which represents a success story of how we can utilize green infrastructure to improve human health, both physically and mentally. Walking in the forest is one of their effective green approaches for rehabilitation. During the walk, participants have the opportunity to experience nature and interact with others.
In summary, it was a very fruitful trip and I learned a lot about urban and peri-urban forestry in Sweden. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Swedish Forest Agency, especially Mr Bjorn Merkell and Dr Dan Rydberg for their strong support and excellent arrangements for my visit. I would also like to extend my thanks to Mr Erik Sollander, Mr Anders Strandh, Dr Berit Svanqvist, Dr Eva-lena Larsson, and Mr Xavier de Maupeou for sharing their knowledge and expertise. In the future, I think it would be great if we can strengthen the cooperation between Sweden and FAO on urban and peri-urban forestry matters.
SFM Toolbox Urban and Peri-Urban Forestry (UPF) Module is now available online
The aim of this module is to assist forest managers, forest policymakers and decision-makers, urban planners, urban foresters, arborists, private landowners and other stakeholders in assessing, planning and sustainably managing trees and forests in and around cities. The module presents common issues and challenges associated with urban and peri-urban forestry and provides strategies and tools for addressing these challenges, as well as for sustainably managing urban and peri-urban forest and tree resources. It includes case studies from a range of cities, countries and regions. This module includes the following components: 1) Basic knowledge; 2) In more depth; 3) Tools; 4) Cases; and 5) Further learning.

Atlas Obscura and Digg have generated an incredible interactive map of punnish-named businesses, neatly organized by category.
The pain mixed with pleasure of, say, something as evocative as Hannah and Her Scissors, or something as plainly wrong as A Shoe Grows in Brooklyn surrounds us. After picking through duplicates, over 1,900 businesses made the map, which we think makes it the most complete pun business name map in the world.
There isn't, to my eye, any discernible concentration to set the map apart from population density and the well-known "resort bonus" increasing the numbers of restaurants and bars on coastlines. Which is to say, everyone in America's vast cultural tapestry are yet equal offenders when it comes to puns.

Can I use the Hue app to control the lights from my MacBook Pro?
- Asked by Caprice B from New York
- Flag as inappropriate (Can I use the Hue app to control the lights from my MacBook Pro?)
2 Answers from the Community
You will need to download a third-party application to control the Hue lights from your MacBook Pro. There are a lot more apps than applications available. Philips recently updated their developer's library to work with both apps and applications, so there will probably be more third-party applications coming in 2014.
- Answered by Cour Du V from San Jose

On any computer, you can actually use the Hue website to control your lights (versus an app, but apps are available from third parties): Just visit the Hue website where you have to setup an account for the lights and you'll have full control from there.

As "American Idol" fans prepare to watch the second annual "Idol Gives Back" show on Wednesday, a report from The New York Times on Monday (April 7) questioned where the $76 million raised by last year's Emmy-winning show has gone.
According to the Times, officials at the "Idol Gives Back" charity have so far declined to release a full accounting of which charities benefited from last year's all-star event. A spokesperson for the company that oversaw the fundraising and distribution of the funds, Charity Projects Entertainment Fund, said financial statements were still being audited and would be released by May.
The Times report doesn't suggest anything nefarious, noting that interviews with officials involved in the charities that received pledges of money from the show and unnamed people associated with the program showed that most of the money raised has been given to or pledged to anti-poverty organizations in Africa and the United States. It did note, however, that nearly $5 million of last year's proceeds and interest remains undistributed.
The 2007 show received $55 million from call-in viewers and $14 million in donations from corporations; corporations and foundations also gave $7 million in direct or matching grants to the designated charities. So far, the Times said about $68 million has been pledged to nine charities, but because that money was scheduled to be distributed over two years, just over half of it has been doled out so far.
The breakdown for the distribution of the 2007 proceeds — which were almost evenly distributed between charities working in Africa and in the U.S. — included pledges of $7.5 million for four American charities, including America's Second Harvest, Save the Children, the Boys & Girls Clubs of America and the Children's Health Fund, with another $37,500 distributed to smaller domestic charities. Five African organizations received pledges of $6 million, among them: the Global Fund to Fight Aids, Tuberculosis and Malaria; the United States Fund for Unicef; Nothing but Nets; Malaria No More and Save the Children. The Kibera Initiative, which helps kids in the Kibera slum in Nigeria, received $1 million, and $340,000 was distributed among other African charities.
Around $5 million was used for administrative costs — everything from paying for phone lines to legal costs — but that is only about 7 percent of the contributions, which, according to experts, is lower than the amount of overhead for most charities.
"Sometimes celebrity or entertainment-industry-based charities might not be the most sophisticated organizations in distributing the money they raise," Dr. Irwin Redlener, president and co-founder of the Children's Health Fund, told the paper. "But the 'American Idol' group got up to speed more rapidly than I've ever seen before. And they did a tremendous amount of investigation and due diligence among the organizations that could be potential recipients."
The money from last year's show was raised and distributed by the Charity Projects Entertainment Fund, headed by British screenwriter/director Richard Curtis, a veteran of celebrity-studded fundraising events such as Comic Relief and Live Aid. This year's proceeds will not be overseen by Curtis, but instead will be directly steered by "American Idol" producers under a newly formed charity, also called Idol Gives Back, according to the Times.
Though a spokesperson for "Idol" had no comment on the Times report at press time, one of the show's executive producers, Cecile Frot-Coutaz, told the paper that the change was meant to focus the efforts of the fundraiser on the show's charitable causes, with more money going to charities in the United States.

Making a genuine difference
Dove is committed to widening the definition of beauty for women because we believe real beauty comes in all ages, shapes and sizes. To help you enjoy your own brand of beauty, Dove provides an extensive range of cleansing and personal care products including skin cleansing, skin care, deodorants and hair care that make a genuine difference to the condition and feel of your skin and hair.
Dove is the UK's top cleansing bar - we sold 51 million Dove bars in 2011! In fact, 10.1 million women use Dove every week in the UK.
Dove's mission is to encourage all women and girls to develop a positive relationship with beauty, helping to raise their self-esteem, and thereby enabling them to realise their full potential. In 2005, we developed the Dove Self-Esteem Programme (DSEP) to make real changes to the ways women and girls perceive and embrace beauty.
The DSEP was established as an agent of change to inspire and educate girls and women about a positive relationship with beauty - committed to helping girls to strengthen self-esteem and build a healthy body image. Specifically we want to reach 15 million girls globally by the end of 2015, with educational interventions lasting at least an hour. We are over halfway there and have reached over 800,000 in the UK.
In 2012, Dove was awarded the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Body Image's Body Confidence Award for the 'Growing Up' Campaign. The TV commercial for this campaign can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElKFK6rRHNY&feature=plcpLink opens in a new window

The perception is that the greasy-fingered dysfunction of the Red Sox clubhouse represented a black hole from which hope could not escape.
In the aftermath of a historic September collapse, the narrative of the 2011 Red Sox season is now one in which the team could not win because the atmosphere around it had become poisoned. And with more toxins being pumped into the air by after-the-fact revelations, there is a growing sense that the culture of the club must change in order for the team to have any hope going forward.
Now, inevitably, calls for that cultural change will lead to calls for personnel changes. A shift in the team's veteran leadership -- a phrase that seems almost oxymoronic based on what transpired -- seem unavoidable.
Departures by some of the team's veteran free agents seem inevitable. While returns cannot be ruled out completely, it would also not be a surprise if longtime organizational pillars such as Jason Varitek and Tim Wakefield (both of whom will be free agents) have played their last games in Boston.
Likewise, the return of David Ortiz (a far more productive and central contributor on the field) may have become somewhat less likely due to the year-ending circumstances. Indeed, the DH himself is now publicly questioning whether he wants to return to the Sox.
But with the team becoming ever less likable with each new revelation of transgressions, the call for change will go further. In particular, with the starting pitchers wearing a bull's-eye for their slothful indifference to their team's collapse, the question will emerge as to whether the team needs to cut bait with players such as Josh Beckett and John Lackey who remain under contract for years to come. Calls to trade others will invariably come as well.
Yet in a sense, the extremity of the chorus is the product of a distorted view of reality. The emerging portrayal of factionalized clubhouse misery has become a fun-house mirror in which all the players look grotesque (more, even, than a diet of beer and fried chicken might suggest).
That is not just true of the individual players but also the team as a whole. Increasingly, the amazing collapse has severed the Sox from the incredible stretch of baseball (an 81-42 stretch from mid-April through the end of August) that preceded it.
The entire season is being evaluated through the prism of the season's final 27 games. And the portrayal of the causes of the year-ending failure now are focusing so much on off-field causes that the on-field product -- in particular, issues related to individual health, performance and execution -- has become a footnote.
Yet inside Yawkey Way, where the Red Sox -- even at a time when front-office transition from Theo Epstein to Ben Cherington seems almost inevitable -- are drawing the blueprints to emerge from the wreckage, the view is necessarily different.
As general manager (and now almost-sure-to-be-ex-GM) Epstein pointed out at the press conference following the end of the season, the Sox have to own their failures at the beginning and end of the season. Yet if they do so, they must also keep perspective on the full sweep of 2011, including the fact that the team -- despite concerns about the depth of the rotation once Clay Buchholz was sidelined by his back injury -- looked like one of the best in baseball for most of the summer, through an August smackdown of the Rangers in Texas.
Health woes, of course, are inevitable for any team. That said, if Buchholz had not been injured, or if he had been out for one or even two months rather than three, or if Kevin Youkilis had not been injured down the stretch, or if Erik Bedard had not seen his season get disrupted by injuries, or if Adrian Gonzalez's shoulder had not worn down in the waning weeks and months of the year, or if Daniel Bard and Jonathan Papelbon had not combined to blow leads in five games or any number of other unlikely events hadn't occurred, even the September swoon would have been unlikely to keep the Sox from the postseason.
While the public temptation is to view the Sox as a roster in need of massive overhaul -- again, something that is the byproduct more of a perceived soap opera than the result of a detailed assessment of the roster -- the individuals responsible for shaping the club maintain a different outlook, as do evaluators from other clubs.
"The Red Sox aren't going to be rebuilding," said one. "They're not going to dismantle it."
Is there a need for leadership change? That question is so obvious that it borders on rhetorical.
Yet, depending on who is hired to replace him, the departure of former manager Terry Francona -- who has acknowledged an inability to reach the clubhouse down the stretch, in contrast to previous seasons -- along with one or more veteran free agents may have already laid the groundwork for the necessary cultural change. Indeed, the impassioned reaction of second baseman Dustin Pedroia (in a call to The Big Show on Wednesday afternoon) hinted at the prospect that the year-ending collapse could actually have a galvanizing effect on the club's attitude.
In light of the fallout from the collapse, perhaps the Sox will place more of an offseason emphasis on finding free agent grinders with reputations for their excellent clubhouse comportment. That said, the Sox already account for makeup when acquiring players, and while they might give somewhat greater weight than usual to citizenship this offseason, the team also won't go off the deep end in overvaluing such a trait at the expense of on-field skill.
Will the Sox listen to inquiries from other clubs about players who were seen as part of the clubhouse problem? Of course, just as they will listen to inquiries about those who were not. But there is also reason for the team to believe that pitchers (most notably Beckett and Jon Lester) who have become focal points for the team's sad state of affairs can revert to their form of past seasons, when they were considered positive influences on younger peers.
Beckett, in particular, has been in the crosshairs since the end of the season. He is viewed as the leader of the rotation, and for 2011 he is being viewed increasingly as someone who femented mutiny -- whether leading the charge among starters for beer-swigging, finger-lickin' in-game snacking or flouting calls for conditioning, something that may have played into his ankle injury that left him unavailable and then ineffective in September.
The 31-year-old has always been viewed as moody, even at times when he was characterized as a leader. Indeed, part of the way that Francona was capable of keeping him in line in the past was to remind him of his leadership role, a responsibility that he would often take to heart. This year, for reasons that were mysterious to multiple team sources, despite his tremendous on-field success, Beckett was unresponsive to such requests.
Still, there is reason to think that he can reclaim his status as a good citizen. After all, a year ago, the idea that he could be an effective pitcher seemed almost unfathomable, coming off one of the worst seasons by a starter in Red Sox history.
But Beckett took his failures in 2010 as a challenge, claimed responsibility for them and addressed them in dazzling fashion, going 13-7 with a 2.89 ERA. Perhaps this offseason he will once again look in the mirror and identify what must change in order for him to be seen as a key contributor to the team's future success rather than a cause of its year-ending failure. Perhaps others will do the same.
Externally, the 2011 Red Sox are viewed as a big, steaming mess for whom the playoffs feel like they are taking place in a parallel -- and unreachable -- dimension. But every public pronouncement from team officials and players since the year-ending splat has underscored how close the team feels it was to significant accomplishments.
And ultimately, it is those internal assessments that will mean the most in determining the composition of the club for 2012 and beyond. As much as it is natural to expect the Sox to take a wrecking ball to the roster through blockbuster trades, the actual course of the offseason might be far more conservative.
