The subcommittee met, pursuant to call, at 9:03 a.m. in room 2212, Rayburn House Office Building, Hon. Joe Wilson (chairman of the subcommittee) presiding. OPENING STATEMENT OF HON. JOE WILSON, A REPRESENTA- TIVE FROM SOUTH CAROLINA, CHAIRMAN, SUBCOMMITTEE ON MILITARY PERSONNEL Mr. WILSON. Ladies and gentlemen, good morning. Today the subcommittee meets to hear testimony on the efforts by the Department of Defense and the military services to prevent suicide by service members, family members, and civilian employ- ees. I want to preface my statement by recognizing the tremendous work the Department of Defense and the service leadership has done to respond to the disturbing trend of suicide in our Armed Forces. I understand this has not been an easy task, and I thank you for your hard work. I particularly see military service as an opportunity to be all that you can be. And I want service members to know they are talented people who are important and appreciated by the American people. They can overcome challenges. I am also grateful for Ranking Member Susan Davis’ work she did as chairman of the Military Personnel Subcommittee to bring attention to the psychological stress in the military and the behav- ioral health needs of service members. With that said, clearly there is more work to be done. Suicide is a difficult topic to discuss. Every suicide is a tragedy, but suicide by members of our military is even more difficult because they have given so much to this Nation. Ultimately, it is an individual decision to take one’s own life. But we must make sure every op- portunity to redirect or change that decision is available before it is too late. Suicide is a multifaceted phenomenon that is not unique to the military. Unfortunately, in addition to the unique hardships of military service, our military members are subject to the same pressures that plague the rest of society. They are exposed to the same stressors, such as the current unemployment and economic situation, that may lead to suicide by their civilian counterparts. I am very concerned those stressors will only get worse in the com- (1) 2 ing months, as debate regarding cuts to the Department of Defense budget intensifies. Each of the military services and the Department of Defense has adopted strategies to reduce suicide by our troops. I would like to hear from our witnesses whether those strategies are working. What are your benchmarks for success? How do you determine whether your programs incorporate the latest research and infor- mation on suicide prevention? I am also interested to know how Congress can further help and support your efforts. With that said, I want to welcome our witnesses, and I look for- ward to your testimony. Before I introduce our panel, let me offer Congresswoman Susan Davis from San Diego an opportunity to make her opening re- marks. [The prepared statement of Mr. Wilson can be found in the Ap- pendix on page 33.] STATEMENT OF HON. SUSAN A. DAVIS, A REPRESENTATIVE FROM CALIFORNIA, RANKING MEMBER, SUBCOMMITTEE ON MILITARY PERSONNEL Mrs. DAVIS. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am pleased that this subcommittee is maintaining its attention on suicides in the military. Over the past several years, as we have seen the number of suicides by service members grow, the sub- committee has been forward-leaning in attempting to support the services and the Department of Defense in their efforts to develop a strategy to reduce and prevent suicides in the force. Mr. Chairman, I want to acknowledge particularly your opening comments that this is a very difficult, a very emotional, and yet a very important issue for us all to deal with. Every suicide, as you said, is a tragedy. But I think for the families the pain of suicide doesn’t go away, and we need to acknowledge how tremendously difficult that is for all involved. Suicide in the military has been a focal point for this sub- committee, but we are not the only ones focused on this issue. In 2007, suicide was the third leading cause of death for young people ages 15 to 24. While our forces share this demographic, it is impor- tant that we share what we learn and what is learned by others if our country is to be successful in addressing this societal issue. The subcommittee’s efforts have included the establishment of the Department of Defense Task Force on the Prevention of Suicide by Members of the Armed Forces in the Duncan Hunter National Defense Authorization Act of Fiscal Year 2009. The task force, com- prised of 14 individuals, civilians and military, with expertise in national suicide-prevention policy, military personnel

  • The Representation of Suicide in the Cinema
    The Representation of Suicide in the Cinema John Saddington Submitted for the degree of PhD University of York Department of Sociology September 2010 Abstract This study examines representations of suicide in film. Based upon original research cataloguing 350 films it considers the ways in which suicide is portrayed and considers this in relation to gender conventions and cinematic traditions. The thesis is split into two sections, one which considers wider themes relating to suicide and film and a second which considers a number of exemplary films. Part I discusses the wider literature associated with scholarly approaches to the study of both suicide and gender. This is followed by quantitative analysis of the representation of suicide in films, allowing important trends to be identified, especially in relation to gender, changes over time and the method of suicide. In Part II, themes identified within the literature review and the data are explored further in relation to detailed exemplary film analyses. Six films have been chosen: Le Feu Fol/et (1963), Leaving Las Vegas (1995), The Killers (1946 and 1964), The Hustler (1961) and The Virgin Suicides (1999). These films are considered in three chapters which exemplify different ways that suicide is constructed. Chapters 4 and 5 explore the two categories that I have developed to differentiate the reasons why film characters commit suicide. These are Melancholic Suicide, which focuses on a fundamentally "internal" and often iII­ understood motivation, for example depression or long term illness; and Occasioned Suicide, where there is an "external" motivation for which the narrative provides apparently intelligible explanations, for instance where a character is seen to be in danger or to be suffering from feelings of guilt.

  • Hip Hop Terms
    1 Topic Page Number General Hip Hop Definitions ………………………………………………. 3 Definitions Related to Specific Dance Styles: ♦ Breaking ………………………………………………………………………. 4 ♦ House ………………………………………………………..………………… 6 ♦ Popping / Locking …………………………………………….….……… 7 2 GENERAL • Battle A competition in which dancers, usually in an open circle surrounded by their competitors, dance their routines, whether improvised (freestyle) or planned. Participants vary in numbers, ranging from one on one to battles of opposing breaking crews, or teams. Winners are determined by outside judges, often with prize money. • • Cypher Open forum, mock exhibitions. Similar to battles, but less emphasis on competition. • Freestyle Improvised Old School routine. • Hip Hop A lifestyle that is comprised of 4 elements: Breaking, MCing, DJing, and Graffiti. Footwear and clothing are part of the hip hop style. Much of it is influenced by the original breaking crews in the 1980’s from the Bronx. Sneakers are usually flat soled and may range from Nike, Adidas, Puma, or Converse. Generally caps are worn for spins, often with padding to protect the head. To optimize the fast footwork and floor moves, the baggy pants favored by hip hop rappers are not seen. o Breaking Breakdancing. o MCing Rapping. MC uses rhyming verses, pre‐written or freestyled, to introduce and praise the DJ or excite the crowd. o DJing Art of the disk jockey. o Graffiti Name for images or lettering scratched, scrawled, painted usually on buildings, trains etc. • Hip Hop dance There are two main categories of hip hop dance: Old School and New School. • New School hip hop dance Newer forms of hip hop music or dance (house, krumping, voguing, street jazz) that emerged in the 1990s • Old School hip hop dance Original forms of hip hop music or dance (breaking, popping, and locking) that evolved in the 1970s and 80s.

  • Derek Chu Prof. Defrantz Hip Hop 21M.775 12 December 2006 B-Boying, Voguing, Krumping
    Chu 1 Derek Chu Prof. DeFrantz Hip Hop 21M.775 12 December 2006 B-boying, Voguing, Krumping: Not Too Different After All The dance element of hip hop culture has always been considered to be b-boying, or what is more widely known as breakdancing. However, in reality, hip hop dance consists of a wide variety of forms and styles, including the Harlem Shake and Voguing, as well as more recent dances such as Krumping and the Chicken Noodle Soup. Both participants and audiences are inclined to agree that each dance is unique and distinct from the other. This can be demonstrated by taking a close look at such distinguishing themes as space and place, sex and sexuality, and even the differences in movement. In this essay, I plan to evaluate the characteristics that make b-boying, voguing and krumping distinct from one another, and in so doing, offer an opposing view that in fact, these forms of dance express great similarity. B-boying was developed in the South Bronx of New York during the late 1960’s and early 1970’s. In her essay, Dance in Hip-Hop Culture, sociologist Katrina Hazzard-Donald explains that b-boying emerged at a time when marginalized African American communities suffered from sudden, harsh economic and social circumstances (Hazzard-Donald 507-508). They were able to channel their frustrations and anger through dance, specifically b-boying. DJ Kool Herc also played a large role in the birth of breakdancing, primarily by creating breakbeats at block parties and offering a space and time for black youth to dance.

His corrections to my work were invaluable, as was his realistic approach to knowing how to pare my research down to a reasonable size.

  • Form of Expressing Identity in Adolescents and Youth Street Dance
    Timişoara Physical Education and Rehabilitation Journal Street dance: form of expressing identity in adolescents and youth Simona Petracovschi 1, Cătălina Costaş 2, Sorinel Voicu 3 Abstract The purpose of this paper is to foreground the counterculture phenomenon that is provides the basis for street dance and the reasons why young people practise it, as well as to analyse the styles of dance developed within this type of dance. The study was made between February and May 2010 in Timişoara on a number of 149 people practising street dance, 46 girls and 103 boys. The results of the research emphasise that the dancers mainly come from an inferior social background (49.66%) or from a middle-class background (46.03%) and have been regularly practising breakdance (83.89%) for more than five years (32.88%). The effects of practising it can be observed on an overall basis as concerns physical condition, artistic sense, self knowledge, discipline but also culture and way of life. Conclusions show that people practise street dance due to its nonconformist and all alive style that continuously makes use of new moves, new trends but also due to it being a way of socialising within a group. Keywords: breakdance, identity, nonconformity. Rezumat Scopul lucrării îl reprezintă evidenţierea fenomenului de contracultură care stă la baza street dance-ului şi motivele pentru care tinerii îl practică, de asemenea şi analiza stilurilor de dans dezvoltate în cadrul acestui tip de dans. Studiul a fost efectuat în perioada februarie-mai 2010 în Timişoara pe un număr de 149 de practicanţi de street dance, din care 46 de fete şi 103 băieţi.
