Enlightened
description: My youngest son, Travis Miller graduated from Virginia Tech in 2006, and my experiences goe back gto my early teens. As a woman, a Mom, and a researcher, the events of April 16, 2007, grabbed my full attention, and still do. You see, since 1993, I have been treated for a condition, called Bipolar/Manic Depression. My losses have been many, and severe, as in those 14 years, due to the disease, I had no judgment, no sense of reality. I have all my charts, and I now know I was very over medicated by my EX Dr of some 12 years. Life altering changes occured, for myself, and my 3 sons [who were not educated, nor had therapy] which resulted in Dad walking away, after 5 years. Treating mental illness, as something one chooses, or can "snap out of" is extreamly uneducated. The past 3 years, I have dedicated myself to research, and to understanding the past, as to understand the present, and hopefuly simplifly the future. Including my sons somewhat in the exploration, led to estrangement, and Family Protective Orders. I was not included in my son's graduation of 2006. Isolation, since 1993, continues from my family, but I now have a better understanding, throught my faith, Buddhism. I accept my part, and thankfully, injoy a full remission, which requires no prescriptive medication at present. But there is still fall out, and I am fighting the good fight, to bring awareness to Virginia, the Nation on the subject of Mental Health. Trying to understand April 16, 2007, I did know perhaps better that most, how Cho might have acted out his terror, his emense anger, at his perceived rejection, his isolation. I think he fell through the many "cracks" as it were, and that as a state with a D- rating by Nami, [mental health ass.] we have the chance for change. I wrote a Letter to the Roanoke times, on a bill before Congress, up in September for vote, on teaching K-12, good mental health. Yes, we need the tools, we need the education, to demistify, what is baseicaly a "chemical imbalnce…

Entre Moynihan y Librescu
description: Creado por Gustavo D. Perednik El catoblepas - numero 64 - Junio 2007 - pagina 5 Sobre los defensores selectivos de derechos humanos, que son permisivos sólo con dictaduras. Borges advertía de no convertir la ética en una rama de la estadística, vicio que podría empujar a erróneas conclusiones, por ejemplo que la Segunda Guerra Mundial estalló por una agresión anglonorteamericana contra la inocente Alemania. Ello se deduciría de descontextualizar algunas cifras: durante la contienda fueron muertos cerca de diez mil civiles estadounidenses y unos cien mil británicos, cifras que contrastadas con los casi dos millones de civiles alemanes caídos podría hacer sospechar que el Tercer Reich fue veinte veces más víctima que sus enemigos. Acaso así lo habría planteado Amnistía Internacional, cuyo reciente informe acerca del año 2006 condena a Israel por «crímenes de guerra» durante la Segunda Guerra en el Líbano (12 de julio/14 de agosto de 2006. A.I. se basa en una asimetría insustancial: que han muerto miles de civiles libaneses y «apenas» centenares de hebreos. No repara en la causa de la asimetría: mientras el ejército israelí protege a sus civiles, los grupos terroristas como Hezbolá usan cínicamente a sus propios niños como parapetos para lanzar la agresión. Por medio de disparar sus misiles desde aldeas indefensas, los islamistas especulaban con que, cuando llegara la represalia israelí, sus mecenas mediáticos se apresurarían en exhibir a los judíos como agresores. Su cálculo mostró estar bien fundado y por ello fueron favorecidos por las agencias de noticias. Consistentemente antiisraelíes, los informes de A.I. revelan una conspicua tendenciosidad. Mucho más que Norcorea o Arabia Saudí, el país judío es permanente blanco de sus monitoreos. El Centro de Asuntos Públicos de Jerusalém publicó en 2004 un estudio que compara los informes de A.I. contra Israel con aquellos emitidos acerca de Sudán (éste es un excelente ejempl…

Eroul Americii indoliate
description: 18 Aprilie 2007 Livia Cimpoeru, Eugenia Mihalcea Masacrul produs luni la Universitatea americana Virginia Tech din Blacksburg ar fi putut avea un bilant si mai tragic daca nu ar fi existat oameni ca Liviu Librescu. America retraieste in aceste zile cosmarul masacrelor lipsite de orice ratiune. Pe harta ororilor s-a adaugat luni universitatea tehnica din orasul Blacksburg, unde un tanar student a omorat 32 de persoane, inainte de a-si pune capat zilelor. Printre personajele centrale ale tragediei de la Virginia Tech se numara si un profesor de origine romana care a reusit, cu pretul vietii, sa salveze o parte dintre studenti. In dimineata fatidica, in sala 207 a cladirii Norris Hall, se desfasura un curs de germana. Cateva incaperi mai departe, profesorul Liviu Librescu, un reputat om de stiinta nascut in Romania, le preda studentilor. „Era o atmosfera cat se poate de normala", povesteste Richard Mallalieu, student al profesorului Librescu. Ultima ora a profesorului Librescu Brusc, in jurul orei 9.00, atacatorul intra in sala 207 inarmat cu doua pistoale si-l impusca pe profesorul Christopher Bishop in cap. Apoi incepe sa traga inspre cei circa 25 de studenti aflati in clasa. „Cel putin 30 de focuri", isi aminteste studentul Trey Perkins. Doar trei-patru studenti au supravietuit. Criminalul a iesit pe hol, unde a dat peste un ingrijitor care incerca sa ajute o fata ce zacea intr-o balta de sange. A tras de cinci ori asupra ingrijitorului si s-a intors spre 207, insa supravietuitorii blocasera usa. Atunci s-a indreptat spre sala 204, unde studentii urmareau o expunere de imagini a profesorului Librescu. Auzind focurile de arma din incaperea alaturata, studentii au intrat in panica. Profesorul Librescu s-a repezit la usa, incercand sa o blocheze. Curajul sau a salvat probabil mai multe vieti, caci, in timp ce el tinea usa, o parte dintre studenti au sarit pe ferestre. Vieti salvate cu pretul vietii Alec Calhoun, un alt tanar care participa la cursul de ieri al prof…

Eroul de la sala 204, comemorat la New York
description: Corespondenta din SUA O comunitate indurerata si-a luat ramas bun de la unul dintre membrii sai, ucis in masacrul de la Universitatea Virginia Tech. Profesorul Liviu Librescu, cel care si-a dat viata pentru a-si salva studentii, a avut parte de o ceremonie emotionanta la New York, unde trupul sau a fost adus inainte de a ajunge in Israel. Zeci de membri ai comunitatilor de evrei ortodocsi si hasidici au participat la ceremonia funerara care a avut loc la capela "Shomrei Hachomos" din Brooklyn. Liviu Librescu a fost amintit pentru meritele sale ca profesor eminent, dar si ca salvator a zeci de studenti aflati luni la cursul sau de inginerie si carora le-a cerut sa sara pe geam in timp ce el a blocat usa in fata atacatorului. Librescu a fost nimerit de cinci gloante trase de asasin si a murit in sala de curs. "Eroul de la sala 204", cum a fost numit el de presa americana, s-a nascut in Romania si a supravietuit Holocaustului, dupa care a emigrat in Israel. El era profesor la Universitatea Virginia Tech de 20 de ani. Sotia sa, Marlena, ea insasi supravietuitoare a Holocaustului, a participat la ceremonia privata desfasurata in Brooklyn, vorbind de pierderea suferita dar si de abnegatia care-l caracteriza pe profesorul Librescu: "A fost un om muncitor care cerea de la toti dedicatie 100 la suta asa cum facea si el". Intrebata daca a fost surprinsa de gestul profesorului de a tine piept atacatorului, ea a raspuns simplu: "Nu, fiindca acesta era felul lui de a fi", adaugand: " Se lupta pentru ca fiecare sa fie bun, sa aiba un loc de munca, era intotdeauna de ajutor". Doamna Librescu a amintit si de dovezile de afectiune ale studentilor, care continua s-o sune si sa-i transmita mesaje de imbarbatare: "Am primit atatea emailuri si atatea telefoane in care toti spun: "Era ca si tatal meu". Membrii comunitatii evreiesti din New York s-au rugat minute in sir in fata sicriului infasurat intr-un steag negru, exprimandu-si respectul pentru profesorul-erou. Unul dintre participant…

Ethnic identities questioned after Virginia Tech
description: Korean community reacts to blame and guilt following massacre April 24, 2007 By Aram Hur In the aftermath of last week's Virginia Tech massacre, the national Korean-American community has reportedly suffered a backlash similar to that unleashed against Muslims in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks, but Asian Americans on campus largely agree that they are being treated with respect and sympathy and credited the media's portrayal of the attack as objective and fair. A number of Facebook groups, such as "Cho Seung-Hui does NOT represent Asians," are continuously amassing new members, while a YouTube post with the words "I belong in Korea" over Cho's face is receiving hundreds of hits per day. While the Virginia Tech shooter, Cho Seung-Hui, was South Korean, other ethnic groups have expressed empathy for Asians in the wake of last week's attack. Ahmed Ashraf '07, vice president of the Muslim Student Awareness Network, said he had similar fears before the identity of the shooter was disclosed. "I know that when I first heard about the Virginia Tech tragedy, I was very, very nervous about the gunman's background," Ashraf said in an email to the Daily. "If a Muslim student were involved in the massacre, it [would have] hit way too close to home." Media coverage of the shootings has drawn an ambiguous reaction from Asian students and faculty members at the University. "This shows that race and ethnicity is still a key source of collective identity in the United States," said Sociology Prof. Gi-Wook Shin. "Non-white ethnic groups and females can be self-conscious and extra careful precisely because they are still minorities in American politics of identity." Others said they were pleased with the focus on Cho's mental state, rather than his ethnicity. "The media has been pretty good at being neutral," said Kenny Kim '08, co-president of the Korean Students Association. "As a member of the Asian-American community, I was inclined to think of the worst possible outcomes, b…

Examining Safety at State, Local Levels
description: EMS director outlines city's disaster-response system By: Evelyn Ratigan Posted: 4/20/07 As the efficiency of the emergency response system at Virginia Tech faces scrutiny, with critics saying the school was slow to notify its members of the attacks in which 32 people were killed on campus Monday, Boston's expert on emergency response systems said the city is prepared for a large-scale disaster. Boston Emergency Medical Services Chief Richard Serino, detailing the city's strategy to a group of about 20 yesterday at Harvard University, said the city is focused on improving communication within departments and with the community. "Everybody has to be involved in all the various parts of this," Serino said. "Communication is a huge issue. You don't want to be exchanging business cards at the scene of the disaster." Serino cited Boston's historic landmarks, dense population and subway system as factors that make the city a top terrorist target. He said the city has been aware of this and has spent more than 25 years revising tactics in case of an emergency. "Emergency preparedness is not something new for us," he said. "It's not just something we've been looking at since 9-11." Serino said the key to emergency preparedness is encouraging partnerships among the city's departments and private businesses, as well as the public services involved in the process. This collaboration has become "institutionalized" from years spent building these relationships, he said. The BEMS constantly works with the Boston police and fire departments, the MBTA and other state and local agencies, he said. In addition, hospitals sharing staff members and enhanced radio communication systems linking state and local agencies coordinate first responders who would otherwise remain disconnected, he added. Serino said high-profile events such as the Democratic National Convention in 2004 and the Boston Marathon are used to practice for emergencies, calling them "planned disasters." Monday's maratho…

Examining Safety at State, Local Levels
description: BHE takes a look at campus security By: Kate Davies Posted: 4/20/07 The Board of Higher Education, during its meeting that was previously called to clarify the fine print on Massachusetts's policy toward allowing undocumented immigrants to receive in-state tuition, said it plans to review universities' security policies in wake of this Monday's shootings at Virginia Tech. Taking time to reflect on the shootings, in which 32 Virginia Tech members were killed by a gunman who then took his own life, Board officials said although universities already have adequate crisis response plans in place, it is important to review such policies and possibly seek more statewide funding for the schools. "We have strong plans in place to secure a safe learning and working environment that we can go to everyday," said Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts President Mary Grant. "We always have to prepare for the worst and hope for the best." The BHE announced it will meet in June at the University of Massachusetts with public and private universities and state police to review existing response programs. In a BHE press release yesterday, Secretary of Public Safety Kevin Burke said the schools' existing plans are extensive. "The Department of State Police review of these plans is designed to ensure that the plans continue to reflect best practice standards," he said. After further work with universities, schools may adopt more high-tech communication methods, including automated voice and text-messaging systems and better counseling services for students, the BHE press release states. When the Board turned to its original agenda, it released a "fact sheet" detailing the fine print of the in-state tuition system as it applies to undocumented immigrants. BHE chairman Aaron Spencer said the fact sheet is meant to clarify two bills filed separately by the Senate and House that would each allow undocumented immigrants to attend state institutions at the same price other state residents pay.…

Faculty trained to refer students of concern to CAPS
description: By: Johnny Perez Posted: 4/18/07 As the campus of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute awoke to a changed world this morning, new developments emerged about the alleged gunman whose shooting spree claimed 33 lives, including his own. His name was Cho Seung-Hui, a 23-year-old senior at Virginia Tech who was majoring in English. And according to Carolyn Rude, the chairwoman of Virginia Tech's English department, some of Seung-Hui's schoolwork prompted officials to refer him to the university's counseling service - though the date and outcome of that action is not known. Though developments about Seung-Hui and his writing are only beginning to come to light, officials at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln say procedures are already in place that allow staff members to alert Counseling and Psychological Services about any concerns they may have regarding individual students. UNL began taking a closer look at how it handled potentially troubled students, staff or faculty members in 1992, after Arthur McElroy, a former graduate student, walked into Ferguson Hall and attempted to open fire on his classmates with a semi-automatic rifle. The weapon jammed and McElroy was institutionalized. UNL administrators acknowledged the need to do a better job of talking to each other when what CAPS director Bob Portnoy calls "students of concern" are noticed. Portnoy, who has worked at UNL since 1991, said campus-wide efforts from the CAPS office, University Police and the vice chancellor for student affairs have improved lines of communication, but every year concerns appear on his desk about questionable students. "I can't think of a semester where that hasn't happened," he said. "I'm fairly confident we've gotten at least one call every semester." What typically occurs, Portnoy said, is that an instructor will call a CAPS representative with, say, a disturbing essay. The staff member will forward the piece of material that has caused concern and will share his or her thoughts while ha…
