Jerry White is the man behind Survivor Corps. A foundation so inspiring that Good Morning America broadcast an interview with him today. 

VIENNA - The United Nations nuclear watchdog is training Chinese security personnel to respond to any radiological attack during the Olympic Games in Beijing in August, officials said on Friday.

A radiological attack is one involving a release of radioactivity -- for example through a "dirty bomb" in which radioactive material is packed around conventional explosives and scattered when the device goes off.

Brainmaggot wrote a very interesting comment over on John Titor's Posts January 2001 called Interesting -- check it out:

The Benny Morris op-ed in the NYT last Friday should provide convincing evidence that Israel really really really wants an attack against Iran sooner rather than later.  Morris is close to the Israeli government and his case that Iran must be bombed soon and with maximum conventional weaponry to avoid using nukes later was clearly intended to push the United States to do the attacking.

I woke up to an amazing article written by Jonathan Trenn, The fallacy of community, and I responded in a comment to a pretty passionate article and a passionate comment string, and here’s what I wrote — and I have expanded the argument below, so it is an expansion.

I came online trying to find people with intelligence, just to make contact with people who have more than half a mind, and now I feel like I'm in way over my head. I discovered this site after learning and listening from Susan Blackmore. Unfortunately, I've opened a door in my brain that I won't be able to close. Being a 19 year old female, I find myself at a point where I'm old enough to take responsibility for my actions, but not quite old enough to be taken seriously on any kind of relevant thought I get!

Our client, Jerry White, co-founder of Survivor Corps, just guest-blogged over at the Anderson Cooper 360 blog, How to stop the violence: Feel the pain, check it out:

The morning papers and night

This is an op-ed written by Jerry White, founder of Survivor Corps and author of I Will Not Be Broken: Five Steps to Overcoming a Life Crisis, on the Fourth of July, 2008:

My first wish is to see this plague of mankind, war, banished from the earth.” These are not the words of a pacifist or peacenik. General George Washington, the canny military strategist and first leader of the American army, recognized that war is a horror. While we bask in our independence today, let us also recognize the price paid by those—then and now—who fight for it. After the Revolution, 25,000 Americans lay dead. About 25,000 more were seriously wounded or disabled. That is a high price, indeed, for our freedom. Since 1776, the world has fought more than 300 wars, and nearly 40 conflicts still rage. The cost remains steep.
