Green Party Leaders Must Care About Voters
. Have you noticed that the Green Party Convention
is hosting a few training sessions which
include the how to of canvassing, organizing
a riding and candidate trainin
Lebron James Shoesg? Have you noticed that they were hosting
the Green Party Convention at the greenest
convention facility in Canada, the Toronto
Convention Centre? It must not be easy being
the Green Party. So much to think about.
Are we using recycled paper, are we at a
facility that uses green light bulbs, are
we eating local food, and are our candidates
leading by example. Between policy workshops
and cabinet meetings, there is more to think
about then most parties. Every small logistical
matter has to be thought out with an extra
step making sure that we are living up to
our environmentally friendly message. That
brings me to my next point. Do the candidates
canvass with billboards, using flyers, and
business cards, and if so, is it printed
on eco-friendly product. If they have internet
in their homes, are they paying extra for
clean power, and if they have cars, are they
driving electric cars. When they purchase
fruits, vegetables and mi

how green candidates live because; a Green
nike basketball shoe candidate can\'t be just any candidate.
A green candidate has to have more purpose,
more social responsibility and more conviction
then the average political voice. It seems
to me, that they will always be held to higher
standards then the average political Joe
or Jane. While the Green Party has been able
to shine a huge light on the real mother
earth issues, and hold other political parties
accountable for bad judgment, the truth is,
the Green Party had to learn how to be a
party. And in the past few years, some of
them have become professional politicians
with a cause agenda. Maybe, just maybe, the
other parties have something to worry about.
With experience, comes more money. More money
gets more seats. With more seats, comes more
power. The Green Party has been controlling
the information about issues such as environment.
At first, maybe no one really took the party
seriously. But now, in 2010, voters are taking
the Green issues very seriously. If the Green
Party begins to use the power of the internet
to effectively demonstrate its ability to
lead, they will ca

how to effectively utilize Google, Facebook,
Twitter and Youtube, to get their key messages
direct to the people, they will make headway.
You see, if the media continues to delive
Kobe Bryant Shoesr stories that dominate, then the story that
unfolds will most likely favor the Liberals
or the Conservatives. Let\'s face it,
there is always more opportunity to find
scandal there. However, if the Green Party
finds the opportunity to speak to the voters
via social networks, I think the social reach
may just be the platform that can advance
their cause leadership. I think all parties
stand for something. The Green Party Leaders
have always been leaders in Cause Politics.
But perhaps they may consider they are having
the wrong conversation with their candidates.
It is time to put social media training in
politics, and get the leaders of tomorrow
building their brand online. Canvassing votes
via Google, Facebook

Reauthorization Act - Giving Youth a Second
Chance
What is the underlying rationale of
state juvenile justice systems? Is it to
punish youths who commit crimes or to rehabilitate
youths to give them a second chance? Although
this perpetual debate plays out similarly
for incarcerated adults, what is unique to
the juvenile justice discussion is the people
who are most affected: youths. Yes, they
are supposed to be corrected when they do
something wrong but, isn\'t it also important
to invest in them and give them the opportunity
to mature and grow into adulthood? When considering
factors that contribute to juvenile delinquency,
such as mental health and substance use problems,
negative environmental influences, or complicated
family situations, the role of state juvenile
justice systems and community providers becomes
clear - to prevent juvenile delinquency whenever
possible and to rehabilitate youths who are
in the system to give them the best chance
to succeed. Studies have indicated that 70
percent or more of youths who are securely
detained in a juvenile justice facility have
a mental health or related disorder; in contrast,
approximately 20 percent of the general youth
population have such a disorder. According
to a public opinion poll focusing on juvenile
delinquency and mental illness, a majority
of people polled viewed alternatives to incarceration
- such as community mental health treatment,
mentoring, and vocational training - as effective
ways to rehabilitate youths. In addition,
8 out of 10 polled strongly favored taking
away some of the money states spend on incarcerating
youth offenders and using that funding to
pay for counseling, education, and job training.
Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention
Act - In response to widespread abuses in
state
abercrombie & fitch classic shirtand local juvenile justice facilities, Congress
passed the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency
Prevention Act in 1974. The JJDPA serves
as the primary federal funding stream for
juvenile justice services to states and territories
that voluntarily ascribe to its core requirements.
Among other requirements, the Juvenile Justice
and Delinquency Prevention Act established
rules to ensure that juveniles who commit
minor or \"status offenses\" are
not held in secure confinement, protect juveniles
from being incarcerated in adult jails or
lock-ups for extended periods of time, address
the disproportionate contact youths of color
have with the juvenile justice continuum,
and other protections. Through these core
requirements, the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency
Prevention Act is meant to foster services
and supports to prevent juvenile delinquency
and, in case
a&f hoodiess in which youths enter the juvenile justice
system, protections to ensure that they are
not unduly exposed to harm or trauma while
incarcerated. According to a 2008 survey
of the states conducted by the Coalition
for Juvenile Justice, 55 of 56 states and
territories voluntarily participate in the
Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention
Act and 85 percent are compliant with all
Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention
Act core requirements. One of the true benefits
of the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention
Act is the federal/state partnership it creates
via the U.S. Office of Juvenile Justice and
Delinquency Prevention; as a result, states
and territories greatly value the opportunity
to receive technical assistance and share
success
abercrombie and fitch jeansful practices with each other and the OJJDP.
Through small investments in successful programs
abercrombie and fitch clothing, the federal government is able to offer
the opportunity for states and territories
to replicate successful programs, the result
of which is hoped to be an overall improvement
in the way juvenile justice systems respond
to youths\' unique needs. Although the
principles of the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency
Prevention Act are laudable and have created
key protections for youths, implementation
challenges persist - funding limitations,
lack of appropriate staffing and training,
and other challenges prevent the realization
of the original vision of the Juvenile Justice
and Delinque
abercrombie storeabercrombie and fitch giletncy Prevention Act. Reauthorization - Advocates
of mental healthcare view reauthorization
of the JJDPA as an opportunity to address
these challenges. The Juvenile Justice and
Delinquency Prevention Act was most recently
reauthorized in 2004, and efforts are underway
to reauthorize the act in the 111th Congress.
After being introduced in the Senate, the
Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention
Reauthorization Act (S. 678) was approved
by the Senate Judiciary Committee, thus sending
the bill to the Senate floor for consideration.
Although a companion bill has yet to be introduced
in the House of Representatives, efforts
are underway to push for Senate passage in
2010 to bolster efforts in the House. Among
several improvements, S. 678 takes important
steps to strengthen the ability of state
and territorial juvenile justice systems
to meet the substance use and mental health
needs of youths by incorporating the following:
>> New incentives for improving mental
health and substance use screenings, treatment,
diversion, and re-entry services. >>
An increase of federal authorizations for
core juvenile justice programs. >>
Reinforcements of the relationship between
OJJDP and participating states and territories
to facilitate increased compliance with the
core requirements of the Juvenile Justice
and Delinquency Prevention Act. To achieve
reauthorization of the Juvenile Justice and
Delinquency Prevention Act in 2010, an array
of advocacy organizations are participating
in a national coalition effort. Through this
coalition, juvenile justice, child welfare
and youth development o
abercrombie hoodiesrganizations present a unified message in
support of enhancing the Juvenile Justice
and Delinquency Prevention Act. Youths who
commit crimes often face an uphill battle
to improve their lives, and it is our job
as community providers, advocates, and members
of our communities to guide them in a manner
that protects them from danger and gives
them the opportunity to achieve more. Although
reauthorization of the Juvenile Justice and
Delinquency Prevention Act won\'t resolve
all challenges in serving justice-involved
youths, it will certainly get us closer.

for a Re-Think
It is often assumed that what preoccupies
military planners is their attempts to define
the shape of future warfare so that they
can adequately prepare equipment and doctrine
ideal to meet the threat. Evidence, however,
shows that what most occupies their attention
is how to adapt existing force structures
and systems to react to emerging conditions.
The vast bulk of their attention, inevitably,
is on the massive capital investment in weapons
systems which last, often, a half-century
— longer than the span of most political
eras — and force struc
Vivienne Westwood Earringstures and doctrine which have accumulated
over deca
vivienne westwooddes, or longer. There is little scope for
innovativ
Vivienne Westwood Broochese, clean-sheet thinking, and even when that
occurs, there is little ability to bend the
vast bulk of the military and national machinery
to the emerging requirements. Anyway, absent
a firm and demonstrable capability change
from a threat area, any planning for change,
unless it is with offensive weapons, is based
on supposition and guesswork. Inevitably,
then, change occurs almost entirely as reaction.
The International Strategic Studies Association
(ISSA), undertook studies in recent years
into how US forces failed to adequately anticipate,
and even to react to, emerging patterns of
warfare against them by irregular forces
in Iraq. The use by these forces of improvised
explosive devices (IEDs), and later guerilla
rocket attacks, should have been anticipated
from warfare patterns in Chechnya and
Vivienne Westwood Clothing->in the Arab-Israeli wars, but the US was
unwilling to learn lessons from these theaters
for a variety of cultural reasons. The result
of these unexpected opposing tactical methodologies
by Iraqi (and later, Afghan Talibani) irregular
forces, was to be of strategic importance.
US military planners initially responded
to the threat — which they had not
fully anticipated — by up-armoring
light vehicles. The result was that the full,
two stages of blast were not addressed. Slam-down
(ie: the second stage of a blast event) caused
a significant proportion of the deaths, even
though up-armoring the vehicles had protected
occupants from some of the first-stage blast.
But the severity of injuries of those who
survived slam-down was unprecedented in terms
of numbers and outcome, and the cost of injuries
to taxpayers was even more than the cost
of deaths. Worse, mission success was minimized,
and the political cost of the deaths, injuries,
and slow mission achievement caused US voters
to oppose the war. The Coalition’s
adversaries merely needed to wait for political
pressures at home to undermine the entire
war effort. Thus did the outcomes of poor
tactical reaction, and lack of vision, have
strategic consequences. US approaches to
mine-protected vehicles, despite their failure,
began to dominate international thinking.
Failure on a grand scale became the model
for modern militaries. The ISSA research,
however, began to seep through the US Congress,
which began putting pressure on the US Defense
Dept., and some changes gradually began to
Vivienne Westwood Charmsoccur. Energy-absorbing (EA) seating and
restraint systems began to find their way
into US vehicles, but even so, the up-armoring
of those vehicles still caused a massive
distortion of their intended capabilities.
Mission success continued to play a poor
second priority to personnel survivability,
and even that “priority” was
poorly addressed. What is being seen now,
however, is that the same advances in seating
and restraint systems can begin to provide
substantial improvements in addressing passenger
and driver fatigue. Troops can reach the
operating theater in better condition, better
able to achieve their mission. For logistical
operations, as well, long-term injuries from
strain and fatigue can be alleviated. Indeed,
addressing the two stages of blast, and addressing
the issue of fatigue, through the use of
new forms of seating and restraint systems
in vehicles can be the key to achieving mission
success and reducing the strategically-important
threat of high casualty levels and grinding
approaches to battlefield victory. Even so,
the question of armor is only being slowly
addressed. Some US light vehicles (HMMWVs)
entering Afghanistan are, apart from being
almost laughably unwieldy, have a life-span
of only about 5,000 miles, despite a cost
— with armor — of more than $150,000.
Now, as with the seating and restraint solutions,
new approaches to layering lightweight armor
coupled with spray-on, or paint-on, special
mastic, can dramatically reduce the spalling
of bomb or projectile fragments while also
reducing weight and cost. Why is it, though,
that these solutions for seating and restraint
and for novel armoring approaches, are taking
so long to permeate the minds of US military
planners? Have the lessons of huge political
cost and ultimate grand-strategy failure
in Iraq — where, arguably, Iran has
won the day — not been recognized or
understood? It is, of course, not too la
Vivienne Westwood Framete for the US Army and US Marine Corps to
learn and adapt their doctrine and vehicles
to emerging battlefield realities. They have
already been doing so. the M-ATV (mine-protected,
all-terrain vehicle) being deployed to Afghanistan
— at vast cost — is already better
than the MRAPs (mine-resistant, ambush-protected
) vehicles hastily and expensively built
for Iraq. The reality is, though, that neither
set of vehicles — and the modifications
to other US military vehicles — showed
that the planners learned enough, or availed
themselves of so
Vivienne Westwood Cufflinkslutions which were ready for them. Indeed,
off-the-shelf solutions were there for the
asking within Coalition partner states, but
no-one asked. Other armies face the same
challenges: Turkey, Pakistan, the PRC, the
NATO states and Australia, and so on. They
do not need to follow the US down the path
of costly mistakes, with the attendant repercussions
on mission success and therefore politically-determined
outcomes on the battlefield. Perhaps the
costly lessons of Iraq and Afghanistan should
cause a re-thinking of how strategic planning
as an art-form must itself be revisited.
The cost of failure is now, in a changing
world, dramatic. related article:
