Why Do We Fear the Blind?
ByROSEMARY MAHONEY
Published: January 4, 2014
– A FEW years ago, when I mentioned to a woman I met at a party that I was teaching in a school for the blind, she seemed confused. "Can I just ask you one question?" she said. "How do you talkto your students?"
I explained that the students were blind, not deaf. Raising the palms of her hands at me, as if to stem further misunderstanding, she said: "Yes, I know they're not deaf. But what I really mean is, how do you actually talkto them?"
I knew, because I had been asked this question before by reasonably intelligent people, that the woman didn't know exactly what she meant. All she knew was that in her mind there existed a substantial intellectual barrier between the blind and the sighted.
The blind could hear, yes. But could they properly understand?
Throughout history and across cultures the blind have been traduced by a host of mythologies such as this. They have variously been perceived as pitiable idiots incapable of learning, as artful masters of deception or as mystics possessed of supernatural powers. One of the most persistent misconceptions about blindness is that it is a curse from God for misdeeds perpetrated in a past life, which cloaks the blind person in spiritual darkness and makes him not just dangerous but evil.
A majority of my blind students
at the International Institute for Social Entrepreneurs in Trivandrum, India, a branch of Braille Without Borders, came from the developing world: Madagascar, Colombia, Tibet, Liberia, Ghana, Kenya, Nepal and India. One of my students, the 27-year-old Sahr, lost most of his eyesight to measles when he was a child. (Like many children in rural West Africa, Sahr had not been vaccinated.) The residents of Sahr's village were certain that his blindness – surely the result of witchcraft or immoral actions on his family's part – would adversely affect the entire village. They surrounded his house and shouted threats and abuse. They confiscated a considerable portion of his parents' land. Eventually, the elders decreed that Sahr's father must take the child out to the bush, "where the demons live," and abandon him there.
The parents
refused and fled the village with their son.
Many of my students had similar experiences. Marco's parents, devout Colombian Catholics, begged a priest to say a Mass so that their blind infant son would die before his existence brought shame and hardship on their household. The villagers in Kyile's remote Tibetan village insisted that she, her two blind brothers and their blind father should all just commit suicide because they were nothing but a burden to the sighted members of the family. When, as a child in Sierra Leone, James began to see objects upside down because of an ocular disease, the villagers were certain that he was possessed by demons.
In these places, schools for blind children were deemed a preposterous waste of resources and effort. Teachers in regular schools refused to educate them. Sighted children ridiculed them, tricked them, spat at them and threw stones at them. And when they reached working age, no one would hire them. During a visit to the Braille Without Borders training center in Tibet, I met blind children who had been beaten, told they were idiots, locked in rooms for years on end and abandoned by their parents.
These stories, which would have been commonplace in the Dark Ages, took place in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s. They are taking place now. Nine out of 10 blind children in the developing world still have no access to education, many for no other reason than that they are blind.
The United States has one of the lowest rates of visual impairment in the world, and yet blindness is still among the most feared physical afflictions. Even in this country, the blind are perceived as a people apart.
Aversion toward the blind exists for the same reason that most prejudices
lack of knowledge. Ignorance is a powerful generator of fear. And fear slides easily into aggression and contempt. Anyone who has not spent more than five minutes with a blind person might be forgiven for believing – like the woman I met at the party
– that there is an unbridgeable gap between us and them.
For most of us, sight is the primary way we interpret the world. How can we even begin to conceive of a meaningful connection with a person who cannot see?
I began living and working among blind people, I, too, wondered this.
Whenever I
saw a blind person on the street I would stare, transfixed, hoping, out of a vague and visceral discomfort, that I wouldn't have to engage with him. In his
1930 book
"The World of the Blind," Pierre Villey, a blind French professor of literature, summarized the lurid carnival of prejudices and superstitions about the blind that were passed down the centuries. "The sighted person judges the blind not for what they are but by the fear blindness inspires. … The revolt of his sensibility in the face of 'the most atrocious of maladies' fills a sighted person with prejudice and gives rise to a thousand legends." The blind author Georgina Kleege, a lecturer at the University of California at Berkeley, more tersely wrote, "The blind are either supernatural or subhuman, alien or animal."
WE take our eyesight so much for granted, cling to it so slavishly and are so overwhelmed by its superficial data, that even the most brilliant sighted person can take a stupidly long time to recognize the obvious: There is usually a perfectly healthy, active and normal human mind behind that pair of unseeing eyes.
Christopher Hitchens called blindness "one of the oldest and most tragic disorders known to man." How horribly excluded and bereft we would feel to lose the world and the way of life that sight brings us. Blindness can happen to any one of us.
I used to be certain I'd rather die than be blind; I could not imagine how I would have the strength to go on in the face of such a loss.
And yet people do. In 1749, the French philosopher Denis Diderot published an essay, "Letter on the Blind for the Benefit of Those Who See," in which he described a visit he and a friend made to the house of a blind man, the son of a professor of philosophy at the University of Paris. The blind man was married, had a son, had many acquaintances, was versed in chemistry and botany, could read and write with an alphabet of raised type and made his living distilling liqueurs. Diderot wrote with wonder of the man's "good solid sense," of his tidiness, of his "surprising memory for sounds"
and voices,
of his ability to tell the weight of any object and the capacity of any vessel just by holding them in his hands, of his ability to dismantle and reassemble small machines, of his musical acuity and of his extreme sensitivity to atmospheric change.
The blind man, perhaps weary of being interrogated by Diderot and his friend as if he were a circus animal, eventually asked them a question of his own. "I perceive, gentlemen, that you are not blind. You are astonished at what I do, and why not as much at my speaking?" More than any of his sensory skills, it was the blind man's self-esteem that surprised Diderot most. "This blind man," he wrote, "values himself as much as, and perhaps more than, we who see."
I've learned from my blind friends and colleagues that blindness doesn't have to remain tragic. For those who can adapt to it, blindness becomes a path to an alternative and equally rich way of living.
One of the many misconceptions about the blind is that they have greater hearing, sense of smell and sense of touch than sighted people. This is not strictly true.
Their blindness simply forces them to recognize gifts they always had but had heretofore largely ignored.
A few years ago, I allowed myself to be blindfolded and led through the streets of Lhasa by two blind Tibetan teenage girls, students at Braille Without Borders. The girls had not grown up in the city, and yet they traversed it with ease, without stumbling or getting lost. They had a specific destination in mind, and each time they announced, "Now we turn left" or "Now we turn right," I was compelled to ask them how they knew this. Their answers startled me, chiefly because the clues they were following – the sound of many televisions in an electronics shop, the smell of leather in a shoe shop, the feel of cobblestones suddenly underfoot – though out in the open for anyone to perceive, were virtually hidden from me.
For the first time in my life, I realized how little notice I paid to sounds, to smells, indeed to the entire world that lay beyond my ability to see.
The French writer Jacques Lusseyran, who lost his sight at the age of 8, understood that those of us who have sight are, in some ways, deprived by it. "In return for all the benefits that sight brings we are forced to give up others whose existence we don't even suspect."
I do not intend to suggest there is something wonderful about blindness.
There is
only something wonderful about human resilience, adaptability and daring.
The blind
are no more or less otherworldly, stupid, evil, gloomy, pitiable or deceitful than the rest of us. It is only our ignorance that has cloaked them in these ridiculous garments. When Helen Keller wrote, "It is more difficult to teach ignorance to think than to teach an intelligent blind man to see the grandeur of Niagara," she was speaking, obviously, of the uplifting and equalizing value of knowledge.
Rosemary Mahoney is
the author
of the forthcoming book "For the Benefit of Those Who See: Dispatches From the World of the Blind."

Curating Consumption
More observations and stuff that Beth and Steve have assembled over the past few weeks.
Can't get there from here
This is such a fundamental usability issue I have to think there's something wrong with my iPad or the Kindle app. Which operation is not supported? Buying this book. That's right…click on that inviting little link down there that says "Buy Now" and get this error. Okay, this is Amazon taking a swipe at Apple ("Mo way you're getting 30% of our revenue for something on the Kindle!") But I'm not sure the average user will get that. They've helpfully provided another link for me: "What? That Buy Now link that should take you to iTunes to purchase this book doesn't work? Goodness! Well, how about you See details for this book in the Kindle Store!" Nope – no mas. That operation isn't currently supported either. So two lovely, juicy links tempting me to buy this book with no way to act [Conceptual sidenote: This would be an ideal design for many vices if they could tempt you but never give you the ability to follow through…the beer that can't be opened, or the hermetically sealed chocolate bar]. I imagine there's a product team somewhere at Amazon scratching their heads wondering why sales aren't tracking but see an astronomical number of clicks on their buy links.Hint: we users will keep clicking thinking we must be doing something wrong, thinking "surely both buy options aren't dead ends". When we realize that they are, we get frustrated and take our own stand, in this case simply not buying. /BT
Two is better than one?
In nearly every bathroom I've been in (in the US at least) there are at least two soap dispensers – one in use and the other over to the side like yesterday's newspaper. They're in all shapes and sizes, usually one (like this one) is discreetly attached to the sink while the other is mounted proudly on the wall. I'm guessing it was aesthetics that sold the sleek little bar peeking from the counter top, I just wonder how long it took for the folks who had to crawl under the sink and refill it to put up a silent revolt – leaving people to pump furiously at one sink, then another then another, to no avail – before management broke down and put the one on the wall. /BT
Too soon or too late?
Gangnam Style is the global sensation that ever your parents know about. I imagine the restaurant owners protest-too-much denial of cashing in on a (no doubt fleeting) trend by pointing to the district in Seoul over the song. But then why is the clucky poultry mascot doing such a distinctive little dance?
Update (June 2013) – Church's Chicken in Canada is doing something similar (thanks, Mom!)!
The remote control that gives you a lecture in virtue
In a hotel in Melbourne, the staff have clearly become tired of people complaining. Sure it's partly about delayed gratification but it's also a well-understood usability problem when feedback is slower than we expect. If the elevator call light doesn't go on, you're going to hit it again. But the warm-up for hotel televisions is its own flavor of usability hell. Will the set turn on? Will an LED change color? And how quickly? Apparently this particular TV set is so far off of expectations than the solution was a lovely sticker appealing to your sense of decency. Whatever, that's a multiple of 8 seconds I'll never get back again. /SP

Quality standard
About this quality standard
NICE quality standards describe high-priority areas for quality improvement in a defined care or service area. Each standard consists of a prioritised set of specific, concise and measurable statements. NICE quality standards draw on existing NICE or NICE-accredited guidance that provides an underpinning, comprehensive set of recommendations, and are designed to support the measurement of improvement.
Expected levels of achievement for quality measures are not specified. Quality standards are intended to drive up the quality of care, and so achievement levels of 100% should be aspired to (or 0% if the quality statement states that something should not be done). However, this may not always be appropriate in practice. Taking account of safety, shared decision-making, choice and professional judgement, desired levels of achievement should be defined locally.
Information about how NICE quality standards are developed is available from the NICE website.
See our webpage on quality standards advisory committees for details about our standing committees. Information about the topic experts invited to join the standing members is available from the webpage for this quality standard.
NICE has produced a quality standard service improvement template to help providers make an initial assessment of their service compared with a selection of quality statements. This tool is updated monthly to include new quality standards.
NICE guidance and quality standards apply in England and Wales. Decisions on how they apply in Scotland and Northern Ireland are made by the Scottish government and Northern Ireland Executive. NICE quality standards may include references to organisations or people responsible for commissioning or providing care that may be relevant only to England.
Resource impact
NICE quality standards should be achievable by local services. The potential resource impact is considered by the quality standards advisory committee, drawing on resource impact work for the source guidance. Organisations are encouraged to use the resource impact report and resource impact template for NICE's guideline on joint replacement (primary): hip, knee and shoulder to help estimate local costs.
Diversity, equality and language
Equality issues were considered during development and equality assessments for this quality standard are available. Any specific issues identified during development of the quality statements are highlighted in each statement.
Commissioners and providers should aim to achieve the quality standard in their local context, in light of their duties to have due regard to the need to eliminate unlawful discrimination, advance equality of opportunity and foster good relations. Nothing in this quality standard should be interpreted in a way that would be inconsistent with compliance with those duties.

Co-writer-director Joseph Kosinski ("TRON: Legacy") digs all the way to the back of the refrigerator for "Oblivion," taking leftover bits of "The Matrix," "WALL-E," "2001," "Moon" and "Planet of the Apes," among countless other science-fiction classics, and putting them into a slick, shiny and state-of-the-art crock pot.
The results looks amazing, but most of the ideas that resonate will feel very familiar and more than a bit warmed-over.
You'll see one if not both of the movie's big twists coming, and while a case could be made that "Oblivion" will make the boldest anti-drones statement of any fictional film this year, it's a chilly movie that never draws you in enough to get fully invested in what's happening.
Tom Cruise opens the film with a head-spinning torrent of exposition, but it boils down to this: It's 2077. Sixty years earlier, alien invaders wrecked the moon, destroying much of Earth. What was left of the planet got trashed by nukes used to fight off the E.T.s, and now most of the population lives on a moon of Saturn.
The only people left on Earth are Jack (Cruise) and Victoria (Andrea Riseborough, "W.E."), who live in a high-tech house in the clouds and whose memories were wiped five years earlier.
He goes out every day to repair the drones that scan the earth for the remnants of the alien Scavengers; she reports their progress to Sally (Melissa Leo, with a ludicrous twang) at Mission Control. Unbeknownst to Victoria, Jack still remembers meeting up with a mystery woman (Olga Kurylenko of "To the Wonder") at the Empire State Building back before the war.
He's also built a secret hideaway in the mountains, a lakeside cabin where he can shoot hoops, listen to old vinyl LPs and squirrel away the books he has found in his travels.
One day, Jack happens upon the top of the Empire State Building, which the Scavengers are using as a homing beacon; following the coordinates being sent out, he finds a crashed spaceship, but the passengers aren't aliens — they're humans. And one of them is the lady from Jack's dreams.
This discovery sets in motion Jack's new understanding of who he is and what has happened to Earth, and "Oblivion" might have worked better if it weren't so proud of these revelations that most audience members will figure out long before the characters do.
Kosinski is great with the doohickeys — Jack's transport, his fold-up motorcycle, that house of the future — but neither the plot nor the characters click the way they should. (And I say that as someone who actually liked "TRON: Legacy.")
Cruise has to spend most of the film playing a literal blank slate, but even after he starts filling in his own memories, the character remains as vague as ever. And poor Morgan Freeman, who turns up late in the film, gets saddled with some astonishingly clichéd dialogue. (That YouTube reel of characters in dozens of movies saying the line, "You look like shit," just got three seconds longer.) M83's score is mostly effective, but even it feels unoriginal, like the love child of Daft Punk's "TRON: Legacy" music and the "Inception" BWAAAAH.
There's a weirdly sexist tinge as well, with the female characters being either nefarious or inert (not to mention a triangular big bad alien presence that could have been designed by Judy Chicago). "Oblivion" also indulges in one of those have-your-cake endings that are so popular of late; not to give anything away, but this is another movie that promises a gutsy, powerful denouement only to give the audience a reassuring wink and a high-five.
The stink of studio notes and focus groups pervades throughout, in fact — that awkward narration at the beginning shares information that Jack offers up again later in the film; one imagines a test audience complaining that they didn't understand what was happening, and the studio deciding to overlay all that clunky exposition up front. Just a theory, but I'd put five bucks on it.
If the dialogue and the concepts of "Oblivion" had been as fresh and powerful as its art direction, we'd really have something here. Instead, it's something borrowed packaged inside something new.

Bryan Spreading the Word

Dressed in swimming attire, the journalists resisting Watterson's siren song are (left-right): Peter F. Collier, publisher of Collier's Weekly; perhaps Oswald Garrison Villard, publisher of the New York Evening Post and the Nation; James Gordon Bennett Jr., publisher of the New York Herald; the winged cherub symbol of Life held by its publisher, John Ames Mitchell; and Joseph Pulitzer, publisher of the New York World. On the right are the personifications of Judge and Puck magazines. Life, a comic weekly published from 1883 to 1918, was not associated with Henry Luce's later photojournalistic magazine of the same name.
In the background (left) appears John Calvin Hemphill, editor of the Charleston Courier and News. After the Democratic National Convention, he appealed daily to his readers for donations to fund Bryan's campaign in South Carolina. In its August 1 issue, Harper's Weekly humorously noted that the only response so far was one Hong Kong gander and a Plymouth Rock hen. In this cartoon, Hemphill's fishing for campaign contributions has hooked only the gander.

A common requirement for applications is to have a subdomain per customer that users belonging to that customer can visit. Example of this include: Slack (https://elixir.slack.com, https://phoenix.slack.com, etc.) and ReadMe.
This blog post will go through how to set up your Phoenix application so that it can be used in the same way.
The source code for this repository is available at https://github.com/Gazler/phoenix-subdomain-demo - there is a commit to represent each step in this post.
Getting Started
The first thing we will need is a new Phoenix application. Since it is focused on subdomains, I am going to call it subdomainer:
mix phoenix.new subdomainer
Once the app has been created and all the dependencies have been installed, start the app and visit it at http://localhost:4000.
mix phoenix.server
Next we need to ensure that it is accessible via a separate domain and subomains, so the following needs to be added to your /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 subdomainer.dev foo.subdomainer.dev bar.subdomainer.dev
With these additions, you should also be able to access the application via: http://subdomainer.dev:4000, http://foo.subdomainer.dev:4000 and http://bar.subdomainer.dev:4000
Currently these all point to the same page, but we are going to modify it so that it displays information about the particular app that we are trying to visit.

My grand plans to get blogging regularly again over here are still working themselves out, but in the meantime, I recorded an episode of the Movie Club Podcast with a bunch of colleagues from Row Three (and a friend from the Director's Club Podcast), discussing Walter Hill's 1978 The Driver and John Frankenheimer's 1986 52 Pick-Up, two thrillers showcasing the sleazy side of Los Angeles. I hadn't seen either film before, so it was fun to experience them for the first time and chat about them with Kurt, Andrew, Bob, and Jim.
We did it via Google+ Hangouts and recorded it to YouTube, so you can watch the entire podcast embedded below, or you can click over here for an audio-only version. Or just subscribe to the podcast in iTunes. It's a sporadic podcast, originally meant to be once a month, but it's been a bit more spread out than that, thanks to everyone's schedule, with an ever-changing cast from various websites (usually Row Three and Film Junk, though the Film Junk guys were busy this month). The next one is planned for February, discussing divisive metaphysical love stories Mr. Nobody, The Fountain, and Cloud Atlas.

Abandonment of Iraq Is Wrong - Erik Gustafson
Erik K. Gustafson is the executive director of the Education for Peace in Iraq Center (EPIC), based in Washington, D.C, and serves on the board of directors of Veterans for Common Sense.Abandonment of Iraq Is Wrong
By Erik Gustafson
The Progressive
May 29, 2005
In April we lost Marla Ruzicka, a passionate American advocate for victims of war, and Sheikha Lameah Khaddouri al-Sakri, a member of Iraq's National Assembly and an eloquent advocate for women's rights. Since the U.S. invasion of Iraq, violence has also claimed the lives of 1,214 U.S. service members and at least 21,000 Iraqi civilians as of May 1, 2005.
Under such circumstances, the demand for "immediate withdrawal" is understandable. We want the tragedy to end. But immediate withdrawal is not a policy option. It's a statement of protest in reaction to the worst U.S. foreign policy blunders in a generation.
As the Reverend Jim Wallis of Sojourners eloquently writes in God's Politics, "Saying no is good, but having an alternative is better. Protest is not enough; it is necessary to show a better way."
Nowhere is this truer than in U.S. Iraq policy.
Before we can consider a viable alternative to U.S. occupation, we must begin with an accurate assessment of the current situation in Iraq. First off, we must acknowledge that Iraq is not a country in Southeast Asia. Although some worthwhile parallels may be drawn, the U.S. war in Vietnam offers more contrasts than similarities. The insurgency in Iraq has no unified vision, no Ho Chi Minh. Before the U.S. invasion of Iraq, the people suffered under a brutal dictator; now it is a relief to Iraqis that Saddam Hussein is finally gone. When the U.S. left Vietnam on April 30, 1975, it was clear the war would end. In Iraq, it would likely escalate.
Until Iraq has a reliable government and a combat-effective military and police force capable of serving and protecting its people, a U.S. withdrawal would leave a tremendous power vacuum. This would further destabilize Iraq, abandon neighborhoods to organized crime and political violence, and potentially pull rival powers, namely Turkey, Iran, Syria, and Saudi Arabia, into a wider conflict.
Immediate withdrawal would remove U.S. military protection of Iraq's transitional government and eliminate an indispensable "force multiplier" for the Iraqi police and military. Unable to match pervasive organized crime and insurgents, Iraq's fledgling security personnel would abandon their posts en masse. The militias of rival Shiite parties and Kurdish peshmerga would be expected to put the protection of their own members and interests ahead of that of the nation. For the militarily well-organized Kurds, that could mean seizing oil-rich Kirkuk or pushing for independence, either of which could precipitate civil war and foreign intervention.
Without strong national institutions, the rule of law, trust in a lasting power-sharing arrangement, or adequate defense, the transitional government and emerging constitution will not survive. And the threat of intercommunal conflict would grow.
"Those of us who were there in March 1991 while Iraqis were being massacred by Saddam Hussein recognize a moral obligation not to abandon the Iraqi people for a second time," says Charles Sheehan-Miles, a decorated combat veteran who directs Veterans for Common Sense, a progressive national security organization of more than 12,000 veterans.
The U.S. invasion not only sparked violent Iraqi insurgents, it opened Iraq's borders to foreign terrorists who now pose a threat to international security. As with the careless Soviet withdrawal from Afghanistan, a precipitous departure by the United States from Iraq would invite Al Qaeda and other terrorist networks operating there to claim victory and solidify its power in the region.
That's why Howard Dean recently said, "Now that we're there, we're there, and we can't get out." He noted that Al Qaeda "will set up shop" in Iraq if the U.S. pulls out immediately.
Daniel Byman of Brookings' Saban Center for Middle East Policy writes: "Here is where the Vietnam parallel breaks down. From Iraq, jihadists would continue their worldwide struggle against the United States and U.S. allies in the region: the equivalent of the Viet Cong deciding to strike California and Australia after they had won Saigon. Saudi Arabia in particular would be vulnerable, given the jihadist-linked unrest in that country and its long and open border with Iraq."
Though we would certainly wish it were different, bringing an end to U.S. military presence in Iraq will not end the violence for the foreseeable future. Foreign extremists and Iraqi insurgents will continue to assassinate government officials, trade unionists, women activists, academics, Shiites, and members of other targeted communities.
Yes, Iraqi leaders want the U.S. to leave, but not immediately.
In January, the United Iraqi Alliance, the leading Shiite party that is close to the Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, revised its position from a call for a definitive timetable for withdrawal of multinational troops to an emphasis on the importance of establishing Iraq's capacity to provide for its own security. This change reflects a growing understanding among Iraqi leaders that without a force capable of guaranteeing some measure of security, conditions would get even worse, no matter who was responsible for creating the situation to begin with.
In late January, Prime Minister-Elect Ibrahim Jaafari told Trudy Rubin of The Philadelphia Inquirer, "If the United States pulls out too fast, there would be chaos. We would expect Iraq might break up because we don't have a powerful government to prevent this from happening. So it's difficult to mention a date until the situation gets back to normal."
Even the radical cleric Muqtada al-Sadr falls short of calling for an immediate U.S. withdrawal. Marking the two-year anniversary of the fall of Baghdad, tens of thousands of his supporters rallied in Firdos Square, Baghdad, demanding only that the U.S. set a timetable for withdrawal.
"You can't fix a mistake with another mistake," says Zaid Albanna, board president of the Education for Peace in Iraq Center. "Things can get much worse. The U.S. has a moral and international obligation to correct the situation and compensate Iraq and the Iraqi people for all the damage it has created."
Of course, popular resentment over the lack of security, the failure to hold senior officials accountable for U.S. abuses at Abu Ghraib, and the slow rate of reconstruction have led some Iraqis to demand an immediate withdrawal. These failures have also given rise to widespread Iraqi resistance to the U.S. occupation, both nonviolent and violent. However, the vast majority of Iraqis in the Transitional National Assembly—-including the three largest voting blocs—-do not support a U.S. withdrawal at this time. Instead, they are determined to accelerate the process by which the U.S. occupation is made obsolete.
Over the past two years, the Iraqi people have witnessed massive looting and destruction, the violent deaths of tens of thousands of civilians, skyrocketing crime and unemployment, increased terrorism, contractor abuses, the mismanagement of $8.8 billion in Iraqi oil revenue, and the torture of fellow citizens in U.S. custody. "Stay the course" is not an option.
Fortunately, a U.S. policy shift has been underway for over a year now, thanks to Iraqi leaders, solidarity efforts and popular resistance. Without the change, the Bush administration would still be operating from the original script of U.S. Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz and other neoconservative ideologues. The Pentagon would still be in control of nation-building in Iraq. Paul Bremer would still be in Baghdad. Iraq's oil sector would be privatized. And there would have been no elections.
Since gaining control of the $18.4 billion aid package for rebuilding Iraq, the State Department has reprogrammed $4.8 billion to support smaller projects that create jobs and job training, rather than large contracts for Bechtel and Halliburton. The changes also redirect funds to Iraqi contractors, rather than expensive Western corporations. And the Bush Administration has accelerated the training of Iraqi security forces. A leading military strategist and critic of Bush's Iraq policy, Anthony Cordesman, reports, "The good news is that very real progress is being made to organize a mix of forces that can deal with Iraq's critical crime problem, and in creating the kind of combat elements within Iraqi forces that may be able to take on insurgents and terrorists when they get the right leadership, experience, and equipment."
Yet to overcome the legacy of Saddam Hussein and the post-invasion failures of the Bush administration, far more must change. On the eve of the U.S. invasion, Saddam released tens of thousands of convicted criminals, including murderers on death row. Since then, more than 5,000 Iraqis have been kidnapped and Baghdad city morgues alone have reported more than 14,000 deaths by other than natural causes.
Contributing to violence and organized crime, Iraq's unemployment rate is as high as 40%. Yet, outside of Iraq's three Kurdish provinces, a nation of 26 million operates without a functioning judicial system or effective police force.
For those Iraqis held in custody, Human Rights Watch reports: "Iraqi authorities, in particular the Ministry of Interior, practiced torture and ill-treatment of detainees, denial of access by families and lawyers to detainees, improper treatment of detained children, and abysmal conditions in pre-trial detention facilities." On April 11, 2005, Agence France Press (AFP) reported that U.S. forces and Iraqi authorities have 17,000 men and women in custody. Without a functioning court system in place, legal due process is unavailable to most of Iraq's prisoners. Furthermore, roughly 11,000 are being held as "security detainees," without formal charges. One year after the disclosure of the now infamous torture photos from Abu Ghraib, we should not only demand a special prosecutor to investigate and hold U.S. officials accountable, we should work for the development of a legal system that makes a difference in the lives of all Iraqis.
As a progressive, I believe the most responsible way for the U.S. to get out of Iraq is through effective institution building. We must provide Iraqis with the funding and technical assistance they need to build and strengthen the civilian institutions that underpin their fledgling democracy.
We must therefore work to build strong, international support for the following four goals:
• Ensuring the protection of civilians and human rights;
• Building Iraq's institutional capacity for security, rule of law, and the prevention of corruption;
• Job creation and Iraqi-led reconstruction;
• Increased political inclusion and reconciliation.
Advancing these goals will require the assistance and cooperation of other nations, including Iraq's neighbors. It will also require the resources of the United Nations, the European Union, the Arab League and other multilateral institutions. Therefore, the Bush administration must allow greater international involvement in Iraq and exercise the kind of leadership that works with the world, not against it.
Finally, we need to guarantee there will be an end to U.S. military presence in Iraq. To do so, the Bush Administration must issue an unequivocal declaration that the U.S. has no long-term interests in the territory or natural resources of Iraq, has no intention of maintaining permanent military bases on Iraqi soil, and will fully withdraw either at the request of Iraq's government or once Iraq is able to provide for its own security, whichever comes first.
This statement would help to restore America's standing in the world, address widespread Iraqi fears and suspicions about U.S. intentions, and create conditions that shift support away from insurgency toward participation in Iraq's new government.
On the home front, such a statement is something all progressives can call for, alongside a key constituency too long absent from the contemporary peace movement, Iraqi Americans. Together we can create the conditions necessary for a responsible U.S. withdrawal (not abandonment) and for a fully independent, stable and democratic Iraq. That should be our goal.

U. W. Clemon
U. W. Clemon U. W. Clemon (1943- ), Alabama's first Black federal judge, also served as chief judge of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Alabama. Long before his notable career on the federal bench, however, Clemon had distinguished himself as a student, a civil rights activist, a lawyer, a state senator, and a civic and church leader.
Clemon is one of nine children of Mississippi sharecroppers. His parents Mose and Addie Clemon moved to Fairfield, in Jefferson County, two years before Clemon's birth on April 9, 1943, seeking better opportunities for their family in the growing steel industries in and around Birmingham. Typical of the Jim Crow South, Clemon's formal education began in a frame building with no indoor plumbing, library, or playground equipment, less than three blocks from a new, state-of-the-art elementary school for Whites. Despite segregation, Clemon was an outstanding student whose love of learning was encouraged by his parents and nurtured by his teachers. Clemon was president of the student body and editor-in-chief of the school newspaper and valedictorian of the Westfield High School Class of 1961.
Clemon's decision to become a civil rights lawyer came at age 13, when he witnessed two white police officers threaten a classmate. His commitment to equal rights deepened while attending Birmingham's Miles College, where he and other student activists boycotted downtown city stores in 1962. Though labeled an "outside agitator" by Public Safety Commissioner Eugene "Bull" Connor, Clemon boldly presented a petition protesting Birmingham's segregation ordinances to the Birmingham City Commission, before being ordered out of the meeting. When Martin Luther King Jr. launched the Birmingham Campaign in 1963, Clemon was assigned to desegregate the Birmingham Public Library. He was elected president of the student body and graduated as valedictorian of Miles College in 1965.
Clemon then entered Columbia University Law School, because the University of Alabama (UA) law school did not enroll Blacks. Instead, the state of Alabama paid part of the tuition for Black students to study law in other states. Later, Clemon would play a central role in reversing school segregation in Alabama and in securing the rights of Blacks to attend UA and all of its programs. In 1967, he married Barbara Lang, with whom he would have two children. Barbara was a teacher for many years and served on the Jefferson County Board of Education. At Columbia, where many of the professors were closely associated with the civil rights movement, Clemon worked part-time with the local NAACP Legal Defense Fund (LDF) and graduated in 1968. During this time, he and fellow civil rights attorney Oscar W. Adams Jr. represented plaintiffs from the Birmingham-based Committee for Equal Job Opportunity in their discrimination lawsuit against ACIPCO.
Richard Arrington After finishing law school, Clemon returned to Birmingham and joined the law firm of Adams, Burg & Baker, which later became Adams, Baker & Clemon. That firm included future Alabama Supreme Court Justice Adams and James K. Baker, the first Black Birmingham City Attorney. The firm was regarded by many as the preeminent civil rights law firm in Alabama; Clemon specialized in school desegregation and employment discrimination cases. He and the firm were involved in most of the discrimination lawsuits brought against the major private and public employers in Alabama in the 1960s and 1970s. He was a principal architect in cases leading to desegregating the public schools in north Alabama. In 1969, on behalf of the UA Black student organization, Clemon brought a lawsuit against UA coach Paul "Bear" Bryant to force him to recruit Black athletes. Later, his representation of police brutality victims led to the establishment of a bi-racial committee to improve relations between the Black community and the police and the election of the city's first Black mayor, Richard Arrington Jr.
In 1974, Clemon and future state Circuit Court Judge J. Richmond Pearson were the first Blacks elected to the Alabama Senate since Reconstruction. Clemon chaired the Rules Committee and the Judiciary Committee, where he challenged capital punishment, pushed Gov. George Wallace to appoint Blacks to state boards and agencies, and advanced legislation that made Black state universities independent of the all-White State Board of Education. When boards of trustees were created for these schools, Clemon thwarted Wallace's efforts to appoint White majorities.
In 1977, Clemon helped defeat an effort by conservative lawmakers at the federal level to revamp the Fifth Circuit Court; the bill to do so would have left Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and Florida with conservative judges and moved more liberal circuit judges in Louisiana and Texas to a two-state Eleventh Circuit Court. Clemon urged the LDF's Elaine Jones, Texas congresswoman Barbara Jordan, the NAACP's Clarence Mitchell, and Aaron Henry of Mississippi to oppose the bill, which was killed in the House of Representatives. Clemon was nominated to the federal bench by Pres. Jimmy Carter in 1980. Despite opposition from southern and Alabama conservatives, he received the unanimous vote of the Senate Judiciary Committee and the full Senate. For nearly three decades, Clemon presided over hundreds of significant federal cases. His decisions in numerous race, gender, disability discrimination, and environmental suits resulted in more than $1 billion in damages paid to plaintiffs. The cases also produced promotions, workplace reforms, environmental clean-up projects, and improved medical care for thousands of plaintiffs. He received national attention for requiring various Alabama counties to construct new jail facilities and improve medical care for inmates.
From 1999 through 2006, Clemon served as Chief Judge of the Northern District of Alabama, which includes 11 district judges, six magistrate judges, and five bankruptcy judges. Working with his fellow judges, Clemon implemented in 2000 a new jury plan that greatly increased minority participation on juries, substantially reduced the distances jurors had to travel, and decreased juror costs. He has also sought to increase diversity in the court's workforce. He stepped down from the chief judgeship in November 2006 and retired from the bench in January 2009.
U. W. Clemon Judge Clemon has received numerous awards and recognitions. These include the Judicial Award of Merit given by the Alabama State Bar, the Johnny Cochran "Soaring Eagle" Award of the American Association of Justice, the Drum Major Award of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, and the C. Francis Stradford Award of the National Bar Association. He is also the recipient of Columbia University Law School Paul Robeson Award and the Alabama Trial Lawyers Association's Howell Heflin Award. He has been a panelist on seminars sponsored by the American Bar Association, the National Bar Association, the Alabama State Bar and various other organizations. He holds honorary degrees from Miles College and Birmingham-Southern College; and two Birmingham streets are named in his honor. Judge Clemon is a deacon at Birmingham's Sixth Avenue Baptist Church, and a member of the Male Chorus.

Seriously, I thought you were someone else … As reported by The Arkansas Times:
Best reason not to work under your car
In August, a Springdale man, angry at his girlfriend, went to the trailer park where she lived, saw her doing some mechanical work under a jacked-up car, kicked the jack away, causing the car to fall, seriously injuring the woman underneath it. Man was charged with assault, among other felonies, and got no satisfaction from the crime since, uh, it wasn't his girlfriend the car fell on. Some other woman. No word on whether his plea was, "Oops, sorry! Meant to kill somebody else."

Payday Candy Bars
I don't like Paydays or salted nut rolls, (I know, I know) – but I DO like these. What does that say!?
Homemade Three Musketeers
Welcome to a chocolatey-creamy-marshmallow heaven, with only 2 ingredients!
2 (16 oz) packages Chocolate CandiQuik Coating
2 (7 oz) jars marshmallow creme (I used Jet Puffed)
Prepare an 8×8″ pan by lining with aluminum foil and coating with nonstick spray.
Melt 1 package of Candiquik in tray, as directed on package.
Place marshmallow creme in a medium mixing bowl and microwave for 15 seconds to slightly soften.
Pour the chocolate Candiquik on top of the marshmallow creme and use a spoon to stir together.
Spoon mixture into prepared pan and smooth evenly across the bottom. (Mixture will be thick!). Place in the freezer for 30-45 mintues to firm up.
Melt remaining package of Chocolate Candiquik.
Remove from freezer and cut into 2″ bars. Dip each bar in the tray of CandiQuik and place on wax paper to set.
*To dip the bars, I placed each bar on a fork, lowered into the Candiquik and used a spoon to completely cover the bar; let the excess coating drip off and place on wax or parchment paper to set.
