The kidneys play a critical role in the body: Acting as the body's filtering system, they help control water levels and eliminate wastes through urine. They also help regulate blood pressure, red blood cell production, and the levels of calcium and minerals.
But sometimes the kidneys don't develop properly and, as a result, don't function as they should. Often these problems are genetic and not due to anything a parent did or didn't do.
Many of these problems can be diagnosed before a baby is born through routine prenatal testing and treated with medication or surgery while the child is still young. Other problems may emerge later, such as symptoms of urinary infections, growth retardation, high blood pressure, etc. In some cases, the problems are more severe and require more extensive surgical treatment.
The kidneys are like the body's garbage collection and disposal system. Through microscopic units called nephrons, the kidneys remove waste products and extra water from the food a person eats, returning chemicals the body needs (such as sodium, phosphorus, and potassium) back into the bloodstream. The extra water combines with other waste to become urine, which flows through thin tubes called ureters to the bladder, where it stays until it exits through the urethra (the tube that carries urine out of the body from the bladder) when someone goes to the bathroom.
The kidneys also produce three important hormones: erythropoietin, which stimulates the bone marrow to make red blood cells; renin, which helps regulate blood pressure; and the active form of vitamin D, which helps control the calcium balance in the body and maintain healthy bones.
Kidney failure, which is also called renal failure, is when the kidneys slow down or stop properly filtering wastes from the body, which can cause buildups of waste products and toxic substances in the blood. Kidney failure can be acute (which means sudden) or chronic (occurring over time and usually long lasting or permanent).
Acute kidney injury (previously called acute kidney failure) may be due to bacterial infection, injury, shock, heart failure, poisoning, or drug overdose. Treatment includes correcting the problem that led to the kidney injury, and in some cases dialysis is required.
The most common kidney diseases in children are present at birth. They include:
Posterior urethral valve obstruction: This narrowing or obstruction of the urethra affects only boys. It can be diagnosed before the baby is born or just afterwards and treated with surgery.
Fetal hydronephrosis: This enlargement of one or both of the kidneys is caused by either an obstruction in the developing urinary tract or a condition called vesicoureteral reflux(VUR) in which urine abnormally flows backward (or refluxes) from the bladder into the ureters. Fetal hydronephrosis is usually diagnosed before the child is born and treatment varies widely. In some cases the condition only requires ongoing monitoring; in others, surgery must be done to clear the obstruction from the urinary tract.
Polycystic kidney disease (PKD): This is a condition in which many fluid-filled cysts develop in both kidneys. The cysts can multiply so much and grow so large that they lead to kidney failure. Most forms of PKD are inherited. Doctors can diagnose the condition before or after the child is born. In some cases, there are no symptoms; in others, PKD can lead to urinary tract infections, kidney stones, and high blood pressure. Treatment for PKD also varies widely. In some cases, PKD can be managed with dietary changes; in others, it requires a kidney transplant or dialysis, which is a medical treatment that helps the body filter waste when the kidneys can't do the job.
Multicystic kidney disease (MKD): This is when large cysts develop in a kidney that hasn't developed properly, eventually causing it to stop functioning. (While PKD always affects both kidneys, multicystic kidney disease usually affects only one kidney.) Fortunately, the unaffected kidney takes over and most people with MKD will have normal kidney function. MKD usually is diagnosed by prenatal ultrasound before a baby is born. Doctors manage it by monitoring blood pressure and screening for a urinary tract infection when needed. In extremely rare instances, surgical removal of the kidney may be necessary.
Renal tubular acidosis: This is a condition in which the kidneys do not properly regulate the amount of acid in the body. It can cause kidney stones and affect a child's growth, but usually can be treated with medications.
Wilms tumor
: This type of childhood cancer involves the kidney, and usually is diagnosed within the first 2 years of life. It can be treated with surgery and chemotherapy.
Glomerulonephritis: This is an inflammation or infection of the glomeruli, which are parts of the nephrons that contain tiny blood vessels. It can affect the kidney's ability to properly filter out waste and can lead to swelling, blood in the urine, and a reduced amount of urine production. Some cases can be treated with medication, while others require dialysis or a kidney transplant.
Nephrotic syndrome: This occurs when the body loses large amounts of protein through the urine, typically because of some sort of change in the nephrons. It is usually diagnosed after the child is 1 year old. Swelling of the face, abdomen, and extremities are among the main symptoms, and are often relieved with medication.
Congenital problems with the urinary tract: As a child develops in the womb, a part of the urinary tract can grow to an abnormal size or in an abnormal shape or position. These problems include:
Sometimes a child can have other health problems that affect how well the kidneys function. These can include:
High blood pressure or hypertension. The kidneys control blood pressure by regulating the amount of salt in the body and by making the enzyme renin that, along with other substances, controls the constriction of blood vessels. The many causes of high blood pressure include any of the kidney diseases mentioned above; genetic factors such as the so-called "essential hypertension," which is the most common form of high blood pressure in adults; and obesity, which has become a major factor.
Kidney stones. The result of the build-up of crystallized salts and minerals such as calcium in the urinary tract, kidney stones (also called calculi) also can form after an infection. If kidney stones are large enough to block the kidney or ureter, they can cause severe abdominal pain. But the stones usually pass through the urinary tract on their own. In some cases, they need to be removed surgically, or treated with medication or modifications to the diet. Sometimes the first symptoms are pain and blood in the urine. Kidney stones are more common in adults than they are in kids.
Nephritis. This is any inflammation of the kidney. It can be caused by infection, an autoimmune disease (such as lupus), or an unknown reason. The first symptoms of nephritis usually are high levels of protein and blood in the urine.
Urinary tract infections (UTI). UTIs are typically caused by bacteria, such as E. coli. Most UTIs occur in the lower urinary tract, in the bladder and urethra, and they can cause pain during urination and a fever. Treatment with antibiotics should be started as soon as possible so the infection doesn't spread to the kidneys, where it can cause irreversible damage. In babies, UTIs tend to be more common in boys than girls, perhaps because boys are more affected by congenital kidney problems that predispose them to infection. Later in life, girls are more likely to get UTIs because of their shorter urethras. Bad habits can contribute to UTIs — kids holding it when they need to go to the bathroom, or wiping themselves in the wrong direction after using the toilet (they should wipe from front to back so bacteria from the stool do not get into the urethra). Among teens, girls are more likely to develop UTIs than boys, mostly due to the shorter urethra or sexual activity with a full bladder.
The signs and symptoms of urinary tract or kidney problems are diverse and include:
If a kidney disease is suspected, the doctor will take a medical history, do a physical exam, and order urine tests, blood tests, imaging studies, or a biopsy to help make a diagnosis. These studies are usually suggested by a nephrologist, a doctor who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of kidney diseases.
With urinalysis (a type of urine test), the doctor can quickly detect abnormalities (such as too many red blood cells) that may signal inflammation or irritation in the urinary tract. Urinalysis can also detect an of excess white blood cells, which is most commonly associated with bladder and kidney infections.
Certain blood tests tell doctors how well the kidneys are filtering waste products and balancing the bloodstream's chemical makeup.
Two other important diagnostic tools doctors use are blood pressure and growth measurements. Along with the heart, the kidneys are crucial to determining blood pressure. High blood pressure in a child is an important sign that the kidneys need to be evaluated. Accurate growth measurements can provide a clue to diagnosing some kidney diseases because kids with chronic kidney disease often grow poorly.
The doctor may use a kidney biopsy to evaluate kidney function. A biopsy is a procedure in which a small piece of the kidney tissue is removed with a needle. Performed while a child is under anesthesia, it's a simple procedure that can help make an accurate diagnosis of the kidney problem in about 9 out of 10 cases. It's especially helpful in the diagnosis of nephritis and nephrosis.
In addition to standard X-rays, other imaging studies a doctor may use to help diagnose kidney diseases include:
The most commonly used imaging study, an ultrasound is painless and requires no X-ray exposure or special preparation. A renal ultrasound shows details of the anatomy of the kidneys and bladder. It can rule out or diagnose obstructions, developmental abnormalities, tumors, and stones in the kidneys and urinary tract.
A CAT scan is often helpful in revealing the anatomy of the kidneys or bladder and, in some cases, is better than ultrasound for finding kidney stones. It can show if the kidneys have developed properly or if the flow of urine is blocked by a stone or a developmental abnormality.
A renal nuclear scan involves having special radioactive material injected into a vein. The radiation dose is less than that of a simple X-ray. The scan shows how the kidneys compare with each other in size, shape, and function. It also can detect scarring or other evidence of recurrent or chronic kidney infection.
VCUG is commonly used to evaluate the bladder and the ureters. This procedure involves putting a dye into the bladder to see whether there's an obstruction, or reflux of urine from the bladder back up to the kidneys when the child urinates.

Friday marked 71 years since the attack on Pearl Harbor that led us into World War II, killing more than 2,400 servicemen and civilians and wounding close to 1,200 more. It's a day that needs to be remembered just as much now as it was back then.
Irving Feldman, 91, of Munster, remembers that day well and how it altered his life. At the time he was a 20-year-old living in East Chicago where he was raised by his parents, who were Russian immigrants, and working in the iron scrap business with his father.
"I was very upset and I wanted to do whatever I could do," he said. On his first attempt to join the Navy, he didn't pass the eye test. The second time around, he attended a huge recruiting event at Soldier Field in Chicago on the Fourth of July in 1942 and he was accepted.
He became a quartermaster serving on three different aircraft carriers, first the USS Ranger CV-4, serving for four months, then the USS Yorktown CV-10 for 12 months and finally, the USS Bennington CV-20 for 16 months. He was the guy at the wheel, steering the boat and keeping the ship's log. He proudly notes that the USS Yorktown now resides in South Carolina where it is part of a military museum and is visited by thousands each year.
Feldman had never even been on a boat when he joined the Navy, but he said he did so because of his small stature. "I didn't want to join the Army. I wasn't sure I wanted to get into using the guns and all that. I thought I was better equipped to go into the Navy," he said. He served in the Navy from July 1942 until December 1945, based out of Pearl Harbor.
The Roosevelt High School graduate said an association affiliated with the USS Yorktown prints a magazine that goes out to members which recently featured a photo of him at the steering wheel of the ship. It resulted in a phone call from a 95-year-old in California asking if he'd been the man who conducted Jewish services on the ship. It indeed was Feldman.
Feldman said the Catholic priest arranged a room for him to hold services for the Jewish holidays. He also had the sad task of doing a Jewish funeral service for a sailor on the ship who was one of 10 killed in an accidental crash by a plane landing on deck. The man was buried at sea.
Other events of the war stick with him as if they happened yesterday, like when the ship was under attack by the Japanese who had the benefit of a full moon lighting up their targets. In the early morning as it got darker and the fight subsided, he wrote in the ship's log, "The moon set. Thank God."
He also saw the devastation in Japan, going onto land in Tokyo when the peace treaty was signed.
Feldman came home from war in 1945. He returned to working in his father's business and then opened up Star Hardware in East Chicago. He worked in the hardware business until just two years ago, retiring at age 89. His two siblings are still living, a sister, 102, and a brother in Munster who is 101. He married in 1948 and raised two sons, one now a Highland attorney and one a pediatrician who is the head of medical genetics at a Detroit hospital. All in all, he's lived a pretty good life, but one that bears scars that can never be erased. And we owe it to men like Feldman to keep Dec. 7, 1941, in our minds and remember the sacrifices of so many men like him.

City to Coast Community Bike Ride 2010 – Wide Bay,Australia,20th Jun.2010
2010-08-03 06:58
More than 580 participants took up the challenge of riding their bicycle from Bundaberg to Burnett Heads (20 km) on Sunday, June 20th for the annual City to Coast Community Bike Ride.
Funds raised from this event go towards supporting the work of the RSPCA in the Bundaberg area.
For the second year in a row QSDTA Wide Bay entered a team, doubling the number of participants from last year's event to 18. Team QSDTA, as we were officially registered, consisted of Instructors, Black Belts, students and family members wearing our Camp Soran T-shirts as our (unofficial) uniform. The ride commenced at 10am sharp from the Riverside Parklands. Sabum Jackson led the first group of QSDTA members, setting a steady pace with the lead pack. Instructor Garth and I stayed back with the second group to ensure all of our team arrived safely and to give encouragement to students that may be lagging.
Branch Instructor Greg was the first to cross the finish line for our team, leaving newly promoted Junior Black Belt Liam and fellow student Aaron battling Instructor Kerri for 2nd place. All team members had crossed the finish line at the South Head Parklands at Burnett Heads within 2 hours of the start.
After a quick sausage sandwich and a uniform change the QSDTA members lined up and performed a brief demonstration for at least 100 spectators. The demo was well received by the onlookers, who gave a rousing round of applause when the event organisers announced that the demo participants had all just completed the ride some 15 minutes earlier.
I was pleased to have a good number of participants for this ride and hope to have even more in 2011. My thanks to all involved in making this day a success.

His participation during the 2011 season will now be zero.
Odd that it comes from a quarterback considered the most durable in the NFL.
But a rough year for quarterback Peyton Manning following a series of summer procedures on his neck officially ended Tuesday without an on-field appearance in a true team activity capacity.
Two days after it was announced that Manning won't play in a game in 2011, head coach Jim Caldwell announced that Manning won't practice during the final two weeks of the season.
"He's not gonna practice at all with us the next two weeks," said Caldwell during his news conference on Tuesday. "One reason why is its the short week this week and we're probably gonna operate at a little different pace.
"He feels and the doctors and the guys that he's working with feel that he could probably be a little better served just working on his own drill work, put together somethings to certainly enhance his rehab. He's also concerned about not taking any reps from Dan or Curtis."
Manning will also be able to continue this work with the team even after the season ends and restrictions for what teams can do with players begin. According to Colts Vice Chairman Bill Polian, Manning will likely fail his physical that comes after the team's final game of the decision.
Per NFL rules, the team is allowed to help Manning with his rehabilitation.
"We can do everything we need to do to rehab the player," said Polian of the team's ability to aid Manning his recovery at the end of the season.
These rehabilitation sessions will be critical for the Colts in evaluating the future of Manning which will then dictate their choice in the 2012 NFL Draft. Its likely that the Colts will have the top selection in the draft and may opt to take highly-rated Standford quarterback Andrew Luck.
Manning was kept on the active roster for the entire season despite little chance of taking the field because of the hope he could practice and the team could evaluate him fully. Despite not having that chance. Polian believes the organization will have enough information to decide the future of their quarterback.
"We have always felt that we would have a good sense of where we are because we have always known that this is what the procedure would be," said Polian. "

Kirill Petrenko
Kirill Petrenko was born in Omsk in 1972 and studied piano there at the Music Academy. At the age of eleven, he made his first public appearance as a pianist with the city's symphony orchestra. In 1990, the family (his father was a violinist, his mother a musicologist) moved to the Austrian state of Vorarlberg, where his father obtained a job as an orchestral musician and music teacher. Petrenko initially continued his studies in Feldkirch and then studied conducting at the University of Music in Vienna, from which he graduated in June 1997. His first engagement, from autumn 1997, was as Assistant and rehearsal accompanist at the Volksoper in Vienna.
From 1999 to 2002, Kirill Petrenko served as General Music Director at the theatre in Meiningen, where he attracted international attention for the first time in 2001 with the Ring des Nibelungen in the production directed by Christine Mielitz and designed by Alfred Hrdlicka.
From 2002 to 2007, Kirill Petrenko was General Music Director at the Komische Oper in Berlin. The most important new productions, which Petrenko decisively influenced here included interpretations in collaboration with directors such as Peter Konwitschny, Calixto Bieito, Willi Decker or Andreas Homoki.
In parallel with his positions in Meiningen and Berlin, his international career also took off very quickly. Major débuts included the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino in 2000; the Vienna State Opera and the Semperoper in Dresden in 2001; the Gran Teatre de Liceu, Opéra National de Paris, Royal Opera House Covent Garden, Bavarian State Opera and Metropolitan Opera New York in 2003; the Frankfurt opera in 2005. From 2006 to 2008, he collaborated with Peter Stein on P.I. Tchaikovsky's cycle of Pushkin operas in Lyon, which was then performed in its entirety in spring 2010.
Since leaving the Komische Oper in July 2007, Kirill Petrenko has worked as a guest conductor. In 2009, among other works, he conducted the new production of Leoš Janáček's Jenůfa directed by Barbara Frey at the Bavarian State Opera and Hans Pfizner's Palestrina directed by Harry Kupfer in Frankfurt. In 2011, Kirill Petrenko conducted the new production of Tosca in collaboration with Andreas Kriegenburg, again in Frankfurt, along with Wagner's Tristan und Isolde (in collaboration with Willy Decker) in Lyon and at the Ruhr Triennale.
The most important orchestras that Kirill Petrenko has conducted to date include the Berlin Philharmonic, the Dresden Staatskapelle, the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, the Bavarian State Orchestra, the Orchestra of WDR Cologne, the Hamburg Philharmonic and the Hamburg NDR Symphony Orchestra, the Frankfurt Museum Orchestra, the Amsterdam Concertgebouw Orchestra, the Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra, the Vienna Symphony Orchestra, the Cleveland Orchestra, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra, the Orchestra Santa Cecilia, the Orchestra RAI Torino and the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra. In addition, Kirill Petrenko has conducted concerts at the Salzburg and Bregenz Festivals.
Summer 2013 will see a new production of Richard Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen at the Bayreuth Festival.
Since 2013, Kirill Petrenko assumes the post of General Music Director at the Bayerische Staatsoper. New productions in the 2013/14 season: Richard Strauss's Die Frau ohne Schatten, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's La clemenza di Tito and Bernd Alois Zimmermann's Die Soldaten.

A follow up on a story we've been following all week: a new high end apartment complex held a safety forum - just days after an ASU student was severely beaten.
Managers at the District on Apache teamed up with Tempe police for a safety event for students living at the complex.
Officials say they are taking the incident seriously to ensure their residents' safety.
The Tempe Police Department says it will continue to crack down on underage drinking and out of control partying.
"We're community members ourselves and we go out to do heavy enforcement to save lives," said Cmdr. Noah Johnson. "As law enforcement officers, our job is to protect the public and frankly save lives and we have seen so many problems recently.. we can't stand for it."
The apartment complex is beefing up security to prevent future brawls from happening.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, Feb. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Today the GSMA published its first in-depth assessment of the impact of the mobile industry on the Arab States1, highlighting the explosive growth of mobile services in the region. Based on research from Deloitte, the GSMA Arab States Mobile Observatory2 details strong regional market competition and falling handset prices, fuelling a 32 per cent average annual growth in mobile connections over the past 10 years, soaring from 19 million connections in 2002 to 391 million in 2012.
While highlighting the extraordinary development of the region over the past decade, the report identifies fundamental challenges that put the continued growth of the sector at risk, including limited spectrum availability, high taxation and stifling regulation.
"Mobile communications in the Arab States have transformed society and fostered substantial growth in investment, innovation and productivity," commented Tom Phillips, Chief Government and Regulatory Affairs Officer, GSMA. "However, there are far greater opportunities that the mobile industry can deliver for the region. Governments need to take action now to increase spectrum availability and stabilise the regulatory environment if they want to continue the momentum and realise mobile's full potential."
Economic Impact of Mobile
The rapid pace of mobile adoption has delivered substantial economic benefits for the region, directly contributing US$ 132 billion to the economies of the Arab States, or approximately 5.5 per cent of total GDP, in 20113.
In addition to the economic value, the mobile industry has contributed to employment in the region. The full-time employment created across the Arab States as a result of the availability of mobile technologies is estimated to have been more than 1.2 million jobs in 2011. This figure represents a combination of direct employment by mobile operators, jobs across the mobile ecosystem and the multiplier effect caused by the positive business impact of the mobile ecosystem on wider industries, further boosting job creation. If additional harmonised spectrum were allocated to mobile broadband, 5.9 million additional jobs could be created by 2025, according to the study.
Additional Spectrum Urgently Required
Mobile broadband connections across the Arab States are expected to increase by a staggering 255 per cent by 2017, rising from 40 million in 2011 to 142 million, reflecting the enormous appetite for mobile broadband services. Mobile broadband connections have already outstripped fixed-line connections by over 350 per cent.
However, to extend mobile penetration and capacity, as well as reap the associated economic benefits, governments in the region urgently need to deliver adequate spectrum in line with internationally and regionally harmonised spectrum bands, including the Digital Dividend, 2.6GHz and 1.8GHz bands.
The release of additional spectrum could raise the region's combined GDP by US$ 108 billion4 between 2015 and 2025. Harmonisation of spectrum bands would further lead to economies of scale for device manufacturers, which in turn would give more consumers access to affordable mobile technology.
Santino Saguto, Partner Consulting, TMT Leader for Deloitte Middle East, commented: "Mobile penetration has increased greatly over the past few years and now reaches well above 100 per cent in many countries of the Arab States. However, in order to meet the expected demand for new generation services, governments need to continue to support the development of mobile broadband, notably through the provision of appropriate spectrum. The current spectrum allocations are not able to sustain the potential growth in data traffic and, unless increased, seem likely to raise costs of provision, challenge investment decisions and increase network congestion."
Need for Greater Regulatory Certainty
The study also points out the urgent need for governments to revise mobile taxation and regulatory regimes across the region. Information and communication technology (ICT) policies that support light-touch regulatory frameworks will increase investment from mobile operators in next-generation data services across the region.
High consumer taxes on mobile products and services are holding back the growth of the sector, decreasing affordability and, in turn, usage levels, denying the poorest members of the population access to mobile services. A number of countries in the region, including Egypt, Jordan and Morocco, have extremely high taxes on mobile services as a result of mobile-specific or 'luxury' tax rates.
If spectrum needs are met and regulatory certainty delivered, there is a major opportunity for governments to generate significant additional revenue from the mobile ecosystem, with the potential to raise US$ 528.7 million in the Arab Middle East and US$ 383.7 million in North Africa by 2025.
Phillips continued: "The Arab States' mobile industry is clearly making a major contribution to their societies and economies. However, the potential for it to make an even greater contribution to the region's success and growth is clear with the provision of mobile data and mobile broadband services. By tackling the core issues of spectrum availability, taxation and network investment and creating a more transparent and business-friendly regulatory environment, this opportunity can be realised."

Notes to Editors
1The 'Arab States' are defined in this report as the following countries: Bahrain, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, United Arab Emirates, Yemen (Arab Middle East); and Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, Tunisia, Sudan and South Sudan (North Africa).
2This report, prepared by Deloitte for the GSMA, is the first GSMA Mobile Observatory to focus on the Arab States. It provides a thorough analysis of the mobile communications industry across the Arab Middle East and North Africa. The report provides the latest statistics and mobile market developments, and is an important reference point for mobile industry members, policy makers and other interested stakeholders. It covers the state of the industry, including the evolution of competition, innovation in new products, services and technologies and the industry's contribution to social and economic development across the region.
3The total economic impact of the mobile communication industry in 2011 was US$ 98.1 billion for the Arab Middle East and US$ 34.1 billion for North Africa, amounting to GDP of 6.2 per cent and 4.9 per cent respectively.
4US$ 57.5 billion in the Arab Middle East and US$ 50.5 in North Africa.
About the GSMA
The GSMA represents the interests of mobile operators worldwide. Spanning more than 220 countries, the GSMA unites nearly 800 of the world's mobile operators with more than 230 companies in the broader mobile ecosystem, including handset makers, software companies, equipment providers and Internet companies, as well as organisations in industry sectors such as financial services, healthcare, media, transport and utilities.

The Arizona Cardinals will have to wait until next season if they want to get to the Super Bowl -- but before the team can open up their summer training camp, they need to figure out where they'll be training at.
The Cards have trained up at Northern Arizona University since the late 80s, but the agreement between the team and the school is up.
Team president Michael Bidwill told a local radio station Thursday that the Cards are still looking into the possibility of moving their summer camp out to Glendale and the University of Phoenix Stadium.
The city of Glendale is in discussions with the Cards on how to accommodate the team and its fans in the middle of the summer heat.

If You Are Black, Get Out: The Crisis of Statelessness in the Dominican Republic
Photo Credit: Shutterstock.com./freelanceartist
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
The decision by the high court in the Dominican Republic to declare anywhere from 250,000 to 400,000 Dominicans who may have Haitian ancestry "not citizens" with a start date of birth of 1929 is simply appalling.
For four generations Banesa Blemi's family, descendants of Haitian immigrants, put down roots as low-wage sugar cane cutters in their adopted homeland, and came to consider themselves Dominicans.
Then, last month the country's Constitutional Court issued a decision effectively denationalizing Blemi and her family, along with an estimated 250,000 fellow immigrants born after 1929.
"I have no country. What will become of me?" said Blemi, 27, standing with relatives outside the family's wooden shack near La Romana, the heart of the Dominican Republic's sugar cane industry and one of the Caribbean's top tourist resorts.
"We are Dominicans - we have never been to Haiti. We were born and raised here. We don't even speak Creole," she said, referring to Haiti's native tongue.
Many headlines of stories dealing with this travesty, simply call these people "Haitians" and few point to what is obvious—the role of racial markers and skin color.
Follow me below the fold for a closer look.
This one said it for me:
Columnist Reginald Dumas, writing for the Trinidad Express put it bluntly in the headline "If you are black, go back," which I've amended to "get out," since how can you go back to somewhere you have never been? Dumas does make that point in his article:
The Constitutional Court has widened the net: parents, grandparents and great-grandparents are now trapped, all the way back to 1929. Several hundred thousand persons in the DR have suddenly been rendered stateless: they are not citizens of the DR, they are not citizens of Haiti. But they are black. They must go back—to a country which most of them didn't come from, and which they do not know. By all means work in the cane fields and on the coffee plantations and in the brothels of the DR. But go back, or move along; you are "in transit".
Many readers here have ancestors—parents, grandparents and perhaps even great-grandparents who immigrated to the United States after 1929. They became citizens, and their children and grandchildren born here are now part of the tapestry of the U.S. Imagine what would happen if the U.S. Congress passed a law rescinding that citizenship currently based on jus soli, and demanded that all of you "go back to where you came from."
This is just what is happening in our neighboring country of the Dominican Republic, where Dominicans who have some Haitian ancestry are now being forced into statelessness by the modification of jus soli, which is retroactive.
People without a country.
For Dominicans of Haitian descent, obtaining proof of citizenship—required for everything from education to employment to voting—has become a legal and bureaucratic impossibility.
A stateless person is not recognized as a citizen by any state. Citizenship enables you not only to vote, hold public office, and exit and enter a country freely, but also to obtain housing, health care, employment, and education. It is vital in order to live a decent human life. Stateless people are denied that right.
On the left we have spent years paying attention to the statelessness of Palestinians. Many of us have not spent a lot of time looking closer to home.
There has a been a history of challenges, including the manipulation of the " in transit" clause (which is not invoked for children born of U.S. parents, for example) and the issue was brought to the Inter-American Court of Human Rights.

Hey friends, today I am writing to inform you all that my mother is involved in a competition to win a giving trip with Tom's Shoes to help others in need, and you all may be able to help her.
For those of you who don't know my mom, she is among the greatest women alive. She has always been…
Hey guys please read this post and vote for my mama to win a giving trip with Tom's shoes!
So I have an interview for an internship on Friday at a weekly paper in Orlando and I am FREAKING out over what to wear to the interview. I dont want to overdress but I do want to look polished and pretty.
Fashion peeps, help me out here!
They are a publication showcasing the restaurants, bars, live music, etc that goes on in our area.
What would you wear to an interview there?
Everything is a disaster right now.
Working on my Halloween costume…my plan for weeks now has been to go as Poison Ivy
I have a leotard, garlands of faux ivy leaves, tights, everything.
I'm hot gluing all of the leaves on the front right now and what do you know I go to try it on (I've only finished the front) and it DOESNT FUCKING FIT.
It took me five minutes to get the leotard past my thighs and big ass. There are now gaping spaces of white where you can see the leotard through the leaves because it has now stretched.
So now I'm terrified of what to do.
Do I bother even trying to fix this? How would I stretch the leotard out so that when I put the leaves on it won't constrict me from getting in it? Or do I go the route of trying to take these leaves off and just put them on an old bra and bathing suit bottom? I'm not exactly a size 0 (I'm a size 4) but I'm not sure I'm comfortable with that.
I want to start watching Game of Thrones
But it seems like the internet is against me as I can't find one place to watch it online
Le sigh…
Someone help?

Trees in Phoenix provide $9.4 million in benefits to residents annually through improved air quality, storm water management, energy savings, shade and aesthetics according to a study by the Phoenix Parks and Recreation Department of Forestry.
The assessment of the financial benefit of trees in Phoenix comes in the wake of the completion of a computerized mapping and assessment project of the more than 92,000 trees, palms and tall cactuses in the Phoenix area.
A total of 92,834 trees, plants and cactuses were logged revealing a healthy mix of more than 150 species.
The project's data shows mesquite to be the tree in the greatest abundance, accounting for 8.8 percent of all trees, followed by the blue Palo Verde at 6.8 percent.
"It's important that we know how many trees the city has and where they are. This inventory will help us identify the areas where trees are abundant and where we need to fill in the gaps," said City Councilman Tom Simplot.
Mayor Greg Stanton has declared April Arbor Month in Phoenix. April 26 is Arbor Day.

Posted by Alden on August 27, 2004 at 12:55 PM (CDT)
The idea of a longer battery life span is great, but that thing is ugly. I wouldn't buy it.
Posted by ari on August 27, 2004 at 1:18 PM (CDT)
they need it to be SLIMMER and flat in my opinion
Posted by me on August 27, 2004 at 1:24 PM (CDT)
I hate the case. It is just the Apple case with a Kangaroo pouch. There is no protection in that thing and the belt clip is flimsy. If I were to buy one it would have to have a much better and more substantial case. I throw the Apple case out the minute I open the box - almost lost an iPod to that piece of junk.
Like the battery idea and the lights indicating remaining time.
Posted by doug Eddy on August 27, 2004 at 1:35 PM (CDT)
Is there a way to control the device or look at the lcd screen without disconnecting the battery???
Posted by Bigizz on August 27, 2004 at 2:01 PM (CDT)
That thing is so ugly. It's not refined at all. The Belkin one at least looks nice.
Posted by Joshdude in Long Beach, CA on August 27, 2004 at 2:09 PM (CDT)
Any ideas on pricing? Their online store hasn't been updated yet.
Posted by Aceon6 in New England, USA on August 27, 2004 at 5:06 PM (CDT)
the battery IS NOT the case. thats crap. the batery is glued onto a stupid looking apple case. what a silly idea. having a thin battery around a latex case, now that would be a good idea.
Posted by unknownsoldier on August 27, 2004 at 6:54 PM (CDT)
Yay, it's nothing like the description!
Agreed, the Belkin one does look better.
Posted by iSpider on August 27, 2004 at 10:37 PM (CDT)
I don't like the design, but the idea is fantastic. Hopefully they will revise the case design.
Personally, I would have bought it already if the batter part was detachable and connected to a standard belt-clip nub. I have three million accessories for the house and car for every gadget imaginable that are standardized on that connector. It would make this a very useful product.

Dear Readers
I really appriciate this site where people voice their opinions of products straightforward. My name is hfo and I am the designer for TUNEWEAR. TUNEMMAX was not designed by us, although we would have liked to. We decided to bring this innovative product to market desipite it's design. We are working on future designs and hope to have a more slim, elegant solution to this product look and feel. I have also decided to add such notice to the web page as well, since we did design ICEWEAR and PRIE and did not design the 1st battery case. (TUNEMAX is a Trademark name for series of battery products to come)
ICEWEAR for 4G should be annouced at Paris Apple-Expo (8/30-9/4) and shipping in September. This is OUR design. I thank iPodLounge for allowing me to explain the truth to the readers.

Yes, the Batter IS the CASE, the white part is the electronics and I/O box, not battery there, the batter is in the black leather part, molded into this shape in 2 and circuit film used to connect the 2 separate parts, see here :
and you can see the inside of one side of the case. I hope this helps clarify things.
Posted by hfo on August 28, 2004 at 1:01 AM (CDT)
hfo, thank you for the clarification. I think your product is very clever and definitely would interest many iPod users. However, a more slim, elegant solution, as you put it, would be much more appealing to most customers. The electronics and I/O box is rather large, and takes away from the fact that the battery is embedded in the case. I look forward to seeing the new design, and hope there will be a new 3G version as well.
Posted by Axe Sharpener on August 28, 2004 at 8:21 AM (CDT)
wow, this company is pretty honest,
"*Notice : Although TUNWEAR would have liked to design this product, [Universal iPod Case with Embedded Battery] was designed by our factory, and we bring you this version of the product as it is. Seeming to look bulk and not the best of design, it is nevertheless is a very innovative product where the case leather part is the battery, thus allowing very small volume for a 16hour life extension product. There will be variations of TUNEMAX to follow in the near future. Also please note that the battery is in the black leather part, containing a molded Li battery, a true one of a kind innovation. The white plastic part is the controller."
Posted by spirit on August 28, 2004 at 8:59 AM (CDT)
hfo… correction. You quoted my sig line then posted unknownsoldier's comment. My comment was about pricing.
Posted by Aceon6 in New England, USA on August 28, 2004 at 12:44 PM (CDT)
Aceon6 : I appologize, read the lines wrong, also I seemed to have lost my 'y's on words battery and made some other messy spelling errors. Pricing to be around 70 USD area.
Posted by hfo on August 28, 2004 at 6:41 PM (CDT)
Correction, I just checked, price was wrong, more like 90 usd retail.
Posted by hfo on August 28, 2004 at 7:50 PM (CDT)
Nobody should buy this until it is redesigned - IT IS SOO UGLY!!
I feel like being sick when i look at this, there is no excuse in this day & age for this cr*p.
Posted by designconscious on August 29, 2004 at 5:02 AM (CDT)
I don't think it is SOO UGLY!! It is less than ideal, but any battery pack is going to be somewhat bulky and will detract rather than enhance the aesthetic appeal of the iPod. I think that this is not a bad try and is compatible with all iPods. I do think they need to design a way of getting to the controls without disconnecting it. I think there are several people who will enjoy using this, but further modifications will but better received.
Posted by Bill Clinton on August 29, 2004 at 8:30 AM (CDT)
seriously that thing in front is hideous. and how will we change the thing's batteries once those die? i'll wait until you refine the product more. i know the case is the battery, but damn that thing in front is OOGLAH. fugly, ugly ugly. icewear looks nice.

These days and nights filled with the thoughts of you ,
Seems to be all the time I have to do.
Never in my life has it felt this way so good so right ,
Confirming how I love you all of my nights.
The emptiness and all that lonliness has gone away,
How blessed I am each and every day.
This joy and happiness that I always feel ,
With my heart I know it is so real.
All those tears that I have shed so many times ,
Has washed my pain and has made me shine,
For it was only you to blame my sweet lovely girl,
That made my life such a beautiful world.
Always and forever you should always know,
This love I have for you can only grow.
Never worry or have any of those doubts about me ,
For this love between you & I will always be.

Tamiflu is a brand-new antiviral remedy that counters the influenza virus types A and B. The active chemical agent used in this medication is called oseltamivir. It is excellent for eleminating influenza-provoked flu symptoms that have been active for under a two-day period. Also, Tamiflu acts as a prevention drug for influenza in case that patient might be exposed to the virus but has not shown any symptoms as of yet. Mind that the common cold will not be helped by Tamiflu.
It is important to start the Tamiflu treatment regimen as soon as possible. Once you have noticed symptoms such as high fever, sore throat, head cold etc, it is best to obtain a Tamifly prescribtion immediately. Follow your physician's instructions in taking this medicine precily in terms of dosage and therapy terms.
Some patients who have gone through a Tamiflu treatment regimen have been noticed experiencing abrupt fits of confusion, delirium, or hallucinations; most of them are children. The researchers are not yet sure whether it is Tamifly that causes these effects, yet it is recommended that all recepients of this drug be inspected daily for signs of unusual behaviour. If you notice any of the above-mentioned symptoms in your child who is on Tamiflu, make no delay in contacting the family doctor.

The R-rated trailer:
Approximate transcript after the jump.
This week we offer a big Friday feminist fuck you to Seth Rogen and the crew behind Observe and Report.
Here at feministing, as you all know, we're not exactly uptight–as the tired old feminist stereotype goes. We curse a lot. Okay, a lot. We love ourselves really dirty jokes. Heck, we've thrown up graphic clips from Wanda Sykes. There's not much that's off limits.
But Mr. Broman Comedy Dude of the moment, Seth Rogen, is seriously misguided if he thinks women are going to sit happily and giggle at the date rape scene in his new movie. Essentially Anna Faris' character gets horrifically drunk, throws up, and passes out in a bed. As Seth Rogen's character is basically grinding away, he suddenly pauses and appears to have a crisis of conscious, soothed immediately by Anna Faris' character coming to and grumbling, "Why'd you stop motherfucker?"
It's not funny Seth. First of all, one out of six women in this country is sexually assaulted in her lifetime. Which means a whole lot of your bromen are confused about what consensual sex is. Is the laugh you get worth making them even more confused? Basically giving them permission from one of the most adored dudes of the moment to not take rape seriously? Yeah, we didn't think so.
Come correct Seth. Put out a statement apologizing for your stupid humor and start working to prevent sexual assault instead of making light of it. Otherwise 52% of the movie-watching population just might stay at home when your movies hit the theaters.
A big Friday feminist fuck you to Seth Rogen and crew. Peace.

Send Welcome Email
I have noticed a lot of users requesting password changes/resets. And people signing up and confirming their email – but never logging in.
I think the problem is that they never get a sent an email with their account details (username and password) when they join.
So I want to send a welcome email to them when they join with these details. I want to get sent automatically after they confirm their email.
How do I do that? Any good plugins?
Please don't suggest the Welcome Pack plugin. It does not send a welcome email – just a welcome PM.

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse convened his Fifth Annual Rhode Island Energy and Environmental Leaders Day Friday at the Rhode Island Convention Center. Faculty and staff from Brown's Superfund Research Program were on hand to discuss their work.
The Brown University School of Engineering and the Office of College Admission will hold an Engineering Day on Saturday, November 1, from 1:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. in room 166 of the Barus and Holley building (184 Hope Street / Corner of Hope and George Streets). The faculty of the School of Engineering and the Office of College Admission invite prospective applicants, parents, teachers, and guidance counselors to attend.
Tuesdays, 4:30 p.m. -5:30 p.m.Barus & Holley Lobby
Join Senior Associate Dean Rod Beresford every Tuesday during the academic year in the lobby of Barus & Holley for open office hours. He will discuss issues, answer questions, listen to suggestions or complaints about the School of Engineering, engineering classes, labs, facilities, etc.
The School of Engineering has created a bulletin board for internships, employment, faculty projects, and other opportunities. Please note that the bulletin board can only be accessed from Brown IP addresses (which means it can be accessed on campus, or through the campus VPN if off campus). This is required since it is not a public site.

He has been dubbed the Bully Bandit because of his confrontational attitude, which recently escalated. When we first profiled him on Chicago's Most Wanted in early 2013 he was suspected in six robberies. Now he may be responsible for a lot more.
New surveillance images provide us with a much better look at the Bully Bandit's face.
In the images clips, this individual is seen walking down an alley just prior to the robbery of the Chase Bank at 5620 West Belmont in Chicago on January 29th, and then running in the opposite direction just after the robbery. The video is particularly helpful because prior to this, he had done a very good job of concealing his identity. During the robberies he has used scarves to cover most of his face, and sometimes he has worn a hooded sweatshirt with the hood pulled tightly around his face.
FBI agents say has struck six more times since then -- the most recent robbery was May 2, 2013 at the Bank of America branch in Riverside at 3300 South Harlem. About three weeks before that, he's suspected of holding up the Chase bank at 2639 North Milwaukee in Chicago… Two weeks prior to that, the Plaza Bank at 5601 W. Belmont was robbed -- a bank agents say he had hit once before.
What concerns the FBI is that during the most recent robbery a handgun was shown for the first time. Prior to that agents say he had only implied that he had a weapon. So the aggression with this robber may be escalating, which means bank employees or customers could be in more danger if he's not caught before robbing another bank.
Agents believe he has committed 12 robberies. He is also believed on one occasion to have entered a bank, and rather than rob the bank, he robbed a customer who was standing in line waiting to see a teller.
Agents say they haven't seen a Chicago-area robber this prolific in quite some time.
Many of these robberies are on the city's west side and often times bank robbers will operate in areas where they are more familiar and more comfortable so this crook may live in that area. But agents are limiting their search and continue to seek the public's help, hoping a Fox 32 News viewer might recognize the bandit in the images.
The FBI is now offering up to $17,500 for information that helps to identity and arrest this individual.
Here is the FBI's description of the Bully Bandit:
--male Hispanic
--late 20's to early 30's
--about 5'8''
--medium build
--he has worn a mustache.
He is considered armed and dangerous, if you see him you are asked to call police.
