Jump to navigation Jump to search
Ratko Mladić (born 12 March 1942 in Božinovići, Bosnia-Herzegovina) is a former Bosnian Serb military leader accused of committing war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide. On 31 May 2011, Mladić was extradited to The Hague, where he was processed at the detention center that holds suspects for the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY).
Srebrenica Massacre[edit]
- With one exception, the following quotes are taken directly from archival footage shot by VRS military cameramen. The arrival of the Bosnian Serb army is covered, as well as their subsequent rush to Potočari, the site of the Dutch base where tens of thousands of Bosnian Muslim refugees had taken cover, seeking protection from the United Nations.
- Krle, Krstić, come on. Record that flag. Tear that flag down so it doesn't fly any more. Pull it down. Bravo! Towards Potočari! Towards Potočari and Bratunac! Don't stop, come on! Go in front of me the whole way, come on. Come on, boys, forward!
- Here we are, on the eleventh of July of the year 1995, in Serbian Srebrenica. On the eve of yet another great Serb holiday we present this town as a gift to the Serb nation. The moment has finally arrived that, after the revolt against the Dahijas, we will have vengeance against the turks in this place."
- There are so many! It is going to be a feast. There will be blood up to your knees. Nedzida Sadikovic, as quoted by Roy Gutman, Newsday News Service, August 9, 1995.
- "Don't be afraid of anything, just take it easy, easy. Let the women and children go first. Thirty buses are coming, we're send you off toward Kladanj. Don't be afraid of anything, nobody is going to do anything to you. Thank you, thank you. Thanks, be safe. Nobody knows anything. Everything is done on my order."
Interviews (1993 – 1995)[edit]
- We are fully aware that war is not the only way to defend our values. But if those values are fundamentally endangered, as is the case today, then war is the only way to defend them. Everything that hinders us in our effort to defend ourselves is an injustice. We did not want this war, it was thrust upon us, like all others. Defending one's people is a holy duty,
- From interview with Robert Block, 1995
- It would have been better if we had fought in Italy and Austria which are really at war against us, instead of allowing them to use our unfortunate Slovenians, Croats and Moslems as bait and cannon fodder.
- From interview with Vreme, May 24, 1993
- I wonder, if France really wants to create a Muslim state in Europe, why don't they empower them to do this in Paris or Britain?
- Interview with Gaspari di Sklafani in DJente, Han Pijesak, 1994
- They went running around to jewelry stores, banks, and well-stocked super-markets. There is not a single hill that they kept or liberated. On the other hand, the soldiers and officers in the army lead modest lives.
- Commenting on war profiteers in interview with Robert Block, 1995
- I think it is time for all peace-loving people of this world to start pondering where all this leads. I think it's high time that the weapons in this part of the world, and all over the world, were silenced."
- From interview with Robert Block, 1995
- If humankind were to follow my advice and if it were in my power, I wouldn't allow the word 'war' to be uttered in any language, I would ban all weapons, even in the form of toys.
- From interview with Robert Block, 1995
- When I guarantee something, it's the same as the word of the Almighty.
- Quoted by Laura Silber in the Financial Times
Quotes about Mladic[edit]
- General Ratko Mladić is a living 100 kg contradiction … His large and compact face is almost always painted with a smile. He inspires trust at first sight, but the same senior UN functionaries, those who spent the most time with him in [1993], are divided in their judgement.
- Demetriu Volcic (1993) Sarajevo: Quando la Storia Uccide, Arnoldo Mondadori Editore, page 34
- As a confused old pensioner or retiree, Mladic is in danger of arousing local sympathy in rather the same way John Demjanjuk did but of doing so within a few years of the original atrocities and not several decades. Moreover, Mladic was a director and organizer of the mass slaughters at Srebrenica and Zepa (as of the obscene bombardment of the open city of Sarajevo), and not a mere follower of orders. The new and allegedly reformist Serbian government bears some responsibility for this moment of moral nullity and confusion, since it seems to regard the arrest of Mladic and his political boss Radovan Karadzic as little more than an episode in the warming of Belgrade's relations with the European Union. You don't have to be a practicing Serbo-chauvinist to find something a bit trivial and sordid in that calculation. (And what if it doesn't prove possible to stretch the increasingly inelastic Eurozone to accommodate Serbia's pressing needs and add them to those of Greece and Ireland? A possible hostage to fortune here.)
- Christopher Hitchens, Mladic the Monster: Our failure to respond to the Serbian atrocities prolonged the slaughter., Slate, May. 30, 2011

I'm going to begin this post with a Really Lame Metaphor. (RLM, for short.)When you wake up each morning, you're in a vulnerable place. You've been sleeping, you've been dreaming, you're wide open. You're receptive. You're a vessel. In my RLM, I'm going to call you a big bowl. AND, since it's your life and you're creating it, you are also the potter, the creator of the big bowl. When a potter makes a bowl, she designs it, sits with it, shapes it, makes it beautiful, and then she sends it out into the world to contain whatever it will contain. Someone could put a plant in it, or soup, or cigarette butts. The bowl is still beautiful. The artist created the bowl to be beautiful no matter what other people decide to put in it.
So, my RLM actually brings me to a Really Important Point. (RIP?) One of the best things you can do, as the artist of your day, is to start it by consciously designing who you choose to be, by setting intent, by praying, by reminding yourself of your dreams and goals. Any practice that works for you, that connects you to something deeper than, say, Fox News. I don't think it matters how you do it. I think it matters that you do it.
Reaction and Pro-action
I've written about the onslaught of unconscious emotions and thoughts, and some of the ways I've learned to respond to and become more conscious of such onslaughts. This is a good practice, and is always going to come in handy. But in my own experience, a more proactive approach was eventually necessary, too. At some point, I realized that living in a constant state of reactivity wasn't healthy. "Oh no! Here comes another emotion! Quick! Do something!" It left me feeling panicky whenever I woke up in the morning. So I began a morning practice a few years ago that has been invaluable. It's how I shift from that feeling of always being "on guard" to knowing that my life is my choice, my own work of art. It's how I start my day. The difference is palpable.
The potter in the aforementioned RLM doesn't sit with a big root ball or a bunch of soup trying to shape the bowl around some pre-determined contents and try to figure out a way to make the bowl beautiful with all this crap she has to put into it. Likewise, if you're the artist and the big bowl, and you start your day without shaping or refining or defining what you are or want to be (setting your intent) then it's like allowing the world and all its drama to decide how to shape you. (Okay, I TOLD you it wasn't the best metaphor – but you do get the idea, no?)
Begin your day with some kind of practice — renewing your commitment to your dreams, setting intent to be peaceful, remembering who you want to be. Eventually, you create yourself so that no matter what comes in, you're able to remain centered and focused throughout the day.
This isn't to say that we're not meant to have compassion or sadness or grief. This IS to say that the average person is somewhat addicted to negative emotions and fear — otherwise, Fox News wouldn't be nearly as successful. When you have a morning practice you return to again and again, then you find the grounded and centered part of you becomes much stronger and stays with you for longer periods throughout the day. Does it guarantee a perfect day with no depression or ups or downs? Not at all. But do it a few days, and then don't do it a few days, and you'll see why I'm sitting here making up pottery metaphors to prove my point. It's cumulative and it works.
What To Do
My personal favorite for about 10 years now. I had a writing teacher who was into The Artist's Way from the day it was published. She assigned us Morning Pages, and I've been doing them ever since. This is three pages of long-hand unedited bad writing. You're allowed to write anything. The idea is to get it all out and just keep writing.
Prayer and Meditation: Don't let the fundamentalists scare you away from your own definition of the word "prayer," okay? I was having lunch recently with two of the coolest women you could ever know. Both of them work for the Dogwood Alliance, my favorite environmental group, and we were discussing despair and burn out in the world of saving forests. I asked them how they continued on in spite of so many challenges and obstacles. Without hesitation, both of them said, almost in unison, "Prayer." Daily prayer. They each talked about their own practice and we all agreed in the power of that daily connection the divine, meditation, whatever. When I first graduated from college, I used to write daily letters in my journal to God. I was crazy unhappy in my PR job, and I wanted to be a writer or songwriter, and I filled page after page admitting this dream to my angels and myself. Eventually, my soul had to stop ignoring my words!
Vision journal: When I facilitate retreats we do this as an activity. You cut up magazines, pull out pictures, paste them into your journal, onto a poster, anywhere that allows you to see visual ideas of your idea of beauty, peace, a bigger you. There aren't any rules to this one, but people just love it.
Dreams and Goals: Remind yourself of your dreams and goals. Write them on postcards. Write them in the present, in the affirmative. Read them aloud to remind yourself that you get to decide what's going to happen in your life. (In my previous blogs on bulimia, I talked about setting intent to heal — this is the time to do that as well.)
There's also yoga, there's visualization, there's much to say about meditation. You will find your own practice once you get started. I change routines depending on what's happening in my life at the time.
Living clearly and consciously takes work. I don't mean struggle. I mean that it takes choosing. And choosing again. And then again. As I get clearer in my own daily life, I am less tolerant of my own whining and my own unhealthy patterns. With daily practices, these old patterns don't stick around as long anymore. And that has taken work. It's easy to be someone who gets up, grabs the paper, turns on a TV, and gulps down a few pots of Starbucks. It's easy to let the world shape you, piss you off, make you self-righteous about all the wrongs to which you have fallen victim. It's easy to rush, to fill your every minute with to-do lists, and to live a distracted life so full of "stuff" that you never ask yourself who you want to be. It takes courage to make a choice daily to be bigger, to get clearer, and to recognize when you are reacting. It takes daily practice. Begin your day. Now. And begin it again tomorrow. And the day after that. And in the meantime, I'll try to find a better metaphor!

Swift Exchange To Demonstrate Revolutionary Rewards-Based Payment Solution At National Retail Federation Big Show January 14-15 (Booth 440)
Silver Level Sponsor To Showcase How Merchants Accept Loyalty Points As Payment for Goods At Its On-Site Trade Show Survival Store
Jan 14, 2013, 08:30 EST
NEW YORK, Jan. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Swift Exchange, a pioneer in global commerce with a first-of-its-kind, loyalty operating system, today announced that it will provide the retail community with a first look at its patented system to turn rewards into currency that can be accepted at brick and mortar and online retail locations. Company executives will be on-hand at Booth 440 at the NRF's Retail Big Show to provide demonstrations of Swift Exchange's product.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130114/NY41626LOGO )
Founder and CEO Richard Postrel, who created the first dynamic foreign currency exchange system, developed Swift Exchange when he correctly predicted that loyalty points would become so proliferated it would place strain on the financial and operating infrastructure of companies. Richard will be a featured speaker at the conference's Big Ideas session "Unleashing Rewards In-Stores and Online" on Tuesday, January 15 at 4pm where he will talk about methodologies to re-target discounts.
"The Travel and Hospitality, Financial Services and Retail Industries, have significant reward value in circulation that can be redeemed cost effectively through our commerce system," said Postrel. "We are excited to work with the rewards providers to forward this value to consumers and ultimately to retailers who can then increase sales by accepting the 'buried treasure' of millions of points and miles accumulated each as a form of payment."
At the end of 2012, Swift Exchange completed development of its web and mobile based platform to dynamically connect consumers, merchants and reward providers so they can effectively utilize their reward programs and reward currencies in a seamless, efficient manner. Swift Exchange facilitates the partnerships with merchants and reward providers, and consumers just shop at ecommerce sites or download the app to their mobile phone to use their rewards to shop for items directly at merchants. The product has been under development for the last year and is entering beta testing now.
"We are very excited to showcase Swift Exchange to today's merchants," said Nancy Gordon, COO of Swift Exchange. "Swift provides customers with a new way to spend their rewards, a substantial source of income during this extended recession, directly at retailers for goods and services."
By unleashing rewards at retail, merchants will have access to the $48 billion in perceived value of new rewards issued each year*.
* This is based on the total perceived value of points and miles issued in 2010 in the U.S. for consumer-oriented rewards, according to the 2011 Forecast of U.S. Consumer Loyalty Program Points Value, the outcome of a collaboration between Swift Exchange and COLLOQUY.
About Swift Exchange: A pioneer in global commerce, Swift Exchange has developed a first-of-its kind, loyalty operating system utilizing its patent-protected technology to make point and miles from different reward programs as easy to spend as cash, online or in-stores. Reward providers better manage their costs while dramatically increasing collaboration with merchants, systematically. Merchants receive new traffic and tap into the $48 billion in rewards currency issued each year in the U.S. alone. Founded by CEO Richard Postrel, Swift Exchange is owned and operated by Signature Systems LLC. For more information, visit www.swiftexchange.com or call (305) 865-7000.

Its blend of tragedy and triumph keeps you engaged long enough to see several 15-minute-long stories through. But The Yawhg has a pre-determined life span. Eventually, you reach a point where you've discovered everything there is to see, and the mechanics behind the stories are revealed, losing the novelty.
The Yawhg is best played with friends. Its four main characters have no backgrounds or motivations, they are defined by the decisions they make throughout the game. Alone, you can play multiple characters, but it's tough to maintain up to four separate narratives by yourself. With friends, on the same PC, each of you can create unique stories and feel the effects you have on the way it plays out, for better or for worse.
The Yawhg has a simple and grim setup, ripe for stories of defeat and victory. An impending danger is six weeks away from destroying a town, and its fate depends on your choices. You can try to prepare yourself for the end or disregard everything for pleasure. Not every decision is simple though, sometimes what you thought was doing good, turns against you and dooms the entire town.
The Yawhg is structured into six rounds, representing the final six weeks before the mysterious Yawhg decimates the town. Each round, you choose locations to visit from an overhead map screen. Once selected, you're presented with two actions, one selfish and one selfless. For example: If you visit the slums, you can either fight crime or pickpocket. One will earn you wealth, and the other will help clean up the streets and possibly affect a later decision. Where your decisions have the most impact are the randomized events that occur after you choose one of the two actions. These events can affect the entire story, like infesting the towns water supply with deadly leeches or rendering the palace inaccessible after your failure to disarm a bomb. The repercussions of your choices can be as small as a single event, or they can happen throughout the story.
How successful you are at each decision is based on a set of attributes increased and decreased depending on your actions. Stats like strength will help you battle in the arena, mind will let you solve complex problems, and wealth determines how much money you can spend. It's not always clear which attributes can affect a given choice, sometimes you'll need to put yourself in your character's shoes and make the decision purely on your own terms. These types of questions deal in moral grey areas and are rare, but they're what keeps you coming back to The Yawhg for subsequent playthroughs.
Emily Carroll's Scandinavian-styled art gives The Yawhg life. Each drawing compliments the emotion in a given scene. They're detailed enough to portray an action, and vague enough for you to fill in the blanks. Combined with the folk soundtrack that ramps up as the story progresses, The Yawhg soaks you in its themes until you exit the game.
The Yawhg is built to be played multiple times. But there's a hard limit. Eventually, you start to see the systems underneath it all. The Yawhg is at its worst when you play it like a game, focusing too hard on the attributes and not going with your gut. After enough playthroughs, in my case five, you start skipping through it just to get to something new, and the game loses almost all of its novelty.
That's the most disappointing thing about The Yawhg. I wanted more, pushed too hard to find it, and soured myself on the game. But that's doesn't render the wonderful stories I created with it moot. Some left me stunned, and others had me laughing and theorizing what might happen next with friends. The power of The Yawhg is its ability to tell an exciting story filled with both highs and lows based on your input, and to leaves you wanting to go right back in and do it again.

So, you have decided to buy a gun. You have a weapon. You have now joined a group that has accidents due to that weapon. So, why should you not pay insurance to cover it?
The problem is traceability.

No, before that you have the problem of constitutional rights. You may "decide" to have a car, and you may "decide" to take risks with your financial security, but you have a "right" to bear arms. Undermining that right (for example by making it costly so that poor people can't afford to exercise their right) is more important than practicalities of enforcing the way you undermine it. The concept of a bill of rights becomes broken if we allow a way to work around it.
Thank you for reiterating that. I've intended to communicate that on several occasions in response to proposals to place a tax or increase the price of firearms as a way to reduce their uptake, but whether through my inability to communicate it as eloquently as you, or others' refusal to accept the existence of that roadblock to their proposals, it has yet to be acknowledged.
If there was a well thought out proposal for amending the 2nd amendment, I would support it. But if there is any proposal for undermining anything in the bill of rights, no matter how well thought out, I must oppose that with gusto.
Hey look, someone who's actually being fair and honest about the situation faced. Either the right will have to be amended or it needs to be respected. Any other proposals are sheer fantasy and don't respect the reality in which we live.
Edit: also "accidents" is a mischaracterization of the problem. If we proceed to address "accidents" and manage to solve them all, while ignoring intentional misuse, that wouldn't satisfy anyone on either side of the debate. The problem is people doing things on purpose. Is there any precedent for insurance being a good strategy to fix that problem? Fraud insurance maybe? I don't know how that works.
When the real desire is to get rid of firearms, the goalposts must constantly shift in order to attempt to justify what are generally either silly or unlawful proposals. First it was about spree shootings, then it was about violent crime, now it's about accidents. Anything to continue the mantra that firearms as a whole are inherently dangerous and evil devices that must not be allowed in civilian hands. Never mind their virtues, never mind individual liberty, and never mind the purpose behind the 2nd Amendment or the Bill of Rights as a whole. Just get rid of them because we say so and never mind any data that doesn't support our desire. Disagree? Well, you must have mental problems.

Meet Our Patients
Born with a cleft lip and palate, and living with joint issues, Andrew Range has overcome his medical challenges and will play ball at Busch Stadium.
Baby Josiah has a rare condition called gnathodiaphyseal dysplasia. It causes extra bone growth in his skull and jawbone, and causes the rest of the bones in his body to be extremely brittle.
Matthew Roche has a rare disease called Crouzon syndrome, which causes the skull bones to fuse prematurely. This leads to craniofacial deformities including bulging eyes and dental problems. Matthew has had multiple surgeries to try and normalize his appearance. Now that he is full-grown, he is ready for a full reconstruction.
One look at Landon Snethen, and you can tell there's a lot going on in that head of his. Landon is a happy, busy 1-year old boy, but when he was only three weeks old, his family had real concerns.
When Wyatt Heilman was 4 months old, he was diagnosed with craniosynostosis, a condition that occurs when one or more joints between the bone plates of the skull fuse together. Trying to find the best treatment for Wyatt led his Michigan family to travel miles from home to St. Louis Children's Hospital.
