Arrivals of unaccompanied minors to the United States surged during 2012, straining the child custody system. While the flows of unaccompanied child migrants to Europe remained stable, the European Union continues to grapple with policies regarding the treatment of this uniquely vulnerable population.
Migration to and through Mexico has been a critical policy issue for the Mexican government since the 1980s, as large numbers of Central Americans have flowed in through the country's porous southern border, first in flight during times of civil war and humanitarian crises and later in pursuit of greater economic opportunity in the United States.
Los Estados Unidos es hogar para aproximadamente 2.9 millones de inmigrantes provenientes de los países centroamericanos Belice, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, y Panamá. La migración de Centroamérica ha crecido rápidamente en las recientes décadas, pero más de dos de cada cinco inmigrantes centroamericanos carecen de estatus migratorio legal mientras que alrededor de uno en diez residen en los Estados Unidos bajo la protección temporal humanitaria.
This former British colony in the Caribbean, once a destination for forced and indentured labor from across the globe, has experienced large emigration flows of both skilled and unskilled workers and their families to the United Kingdom, the United States, and Canada over the last half century. As Alex Glennie and Laura Chappell of the Institute for Public Policy Research explain, the Jamaican government has a number of strategies to limit brain drain and to encourage return.
The United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues estimates there are more than 370 million indigenous people in some 90 countries worldwide.

Circular migration has typically been viewed with skepticism by migrant-rights advocates and wary publics alike. But many experts and policymakers in the migration field — and some in development — have come to recognize that well-managed circulation that is respectful of migrants' human and labor rights can bring benefits to countries of origin and destination, as well as to migrants themselves. For countries of origin, circular migration can relieve labor surpluses; for destination countries, it can provide the flexibility to quickly overcome skills shortages while adapting to long-term labor market shifts. For migrants, circular migration offers the opportunity to earn higher wages and gain international experience.
Private recruitment agencies orchestrate much of the migration process, from predeparture to return. They provide information, assistance, and even financial support to migrants; facilitate transit to and from the destination; and in some cases employ migrants directly. While recruitment agencies protect migrants, sometimes removing them from abusive workplaces or even organizing repatriation, migrants' dependence on them for so many services also creates many opportunities for exploitation and abuse. This brief assesses the forms of regulation that are being proposed and enacted to oversee recruitment agencies and identifies several areas for further improvement.
Diasporas can play an important role in the economic development of their countries of origin or ancestry. Beyond their well-known role as senders of remittances, diasporas also can promote trade and foreign direct investment, create businesses, spur entrepreneurship, and transfer new knowledge and skills. Policymakers increasingly recognize that an engaged diaspora can be an asset — or even a counterweight to the emigration of skilled and talented migrants.
Skilled migration is often thought to have overwhelmingly negative effects on countries of migrant origin. Yet recent research and policy experience challenge this assumption and offer a more nuanced picture, as this brief explains. Countries of origin and destination can in fact benefit from skilled migration when it is correctly structured, and efforts to restrict skilled nationals' ability to leave their countries of origin may have unintended costs, in addition to being ethically problematic.
La migración ha contribuido a dar forma y definir las relaciones entre Estados Unidos y México desde hace más de un siglo, y las relaciones con Centroamérica aproximadamente durante los últimos 30 años.

This is from my "iBite Dilibertely Random Moments" personal journey's journal entry series...Bite that!...when I was invited to be at an open forum for both Animation Union Members, who got in free, and Non Union Members, who had to pay 10 dollars..I paid $20 total for me and a guest to participate...
AnimationNation.com founder and close friend, Charles Zembillas, was invited to be apart of the panel and advertised it on AnimationNation.com as an open event...Something Local 839 rarely does. Usually meetings are only open to Union members. So in the first time in almost 12 years since they participated in some sort of open event, I was there again to support such movement and to participate in the continued conversation about evolution and reform...in my very own unique style. Which if you know me, you know what I'm saying...if you don't, then participate in one of AnimationNation.com's monthly A.N. Night Events the last tuesday of every month.
Always open to everyone. Union and Non Union alike. We're all creators working for sustainable lifestyles.
So I paid to come into the fold. And silly me, I work to get my money's worth...I was kinda tired of another organization taking my money to just tell me how they see things and how I should follow their lead blindly...being a leader myself, I felt talked down to. I was surprised more people weren't disgusted by the display of false authority.
Time for law evolution...
SO, I wanted to correct myself. I used the word "change" a few times in the video. It's an old word in my vocabulary that I don't believe in anymore. One mans "change" is another mans oppression. "Evolution" is the word I do my best to use but sometimes default. "Change" is forceful, while "Evolution" is flexible and for all to partake in, but mostly represents progress...which after 12 years dealing with Union mismanagement "officials" , I see very little if none at all.
I don't have faith in this organization called Local 839...other then the benefit plan I hear is great. Me and Charles often disagree about the importance of such an institution. He
believes with proper leadership it has great strength…and I believe, the leadership is in place to do exactly what it is doing…like our government. They don't care about you and
are just maintaining the status quo…keep in line, bitches....But I believe in my good friend Charles, so I support by participating…But me thinks all they want is people to sit and listen, and do what they are told…s***, it goes without saying that I don't fit that bill...
The way it's currently set up is a monopoly and monopolies are not healthy for any environment. THe bad mentality of the leadership plagues the "joiners" ,as one of the panelist suggested I wasn't,
and all weakness of any organization is the leaders responsibility…. Leadership sets the pace. You can't take leadership positions and pass the buck to the ambiguous "joiners"...But thats my personal philosophy I guess, and like I state in the video my personal philosophy has nothing to do with the Union or their meetings...
So sling away, fellow caged apes. I would feel lonely without your s*** on my face. hahahaha. slaves always turn on each other first.
And sue away, mr innuendo. You all represented yourselves and were aware of my camera from the beginning. Feel free to cut your own version of the night with your own personal security camera systems, like mine, and continue to paint me however you like and let your online forums try to assassinate my character with their anonymous rude, hostile yet chicken s*** posts...I use my face and I stand by my name and word. I challenge you to do the same and stop hiding behind fat pocket monopolies that can write whatever history they choose. I am sovereign and document as much as my personal journey as I go..So when crossing paths with me, act accordingly cuz you never know when that s*** when come back…to haunt ya!

ps- after reviewing my video I realized that it could sound like I was referring to Gary Montalbano as defeatist...when actually I was referring to the handful of words that came out of one of the panelists mouth after tryin so hard to talk over him...Gary Montalbano has my up most respect and is one of the creators who inspired my art and my hustle...Gary is one of most professional people I have met in the animation industry.

Re: IBITE_JOURNAL_OPENFORUMCLOSEDUNION
Thanks for the videos. I wanted to be there just to watch but I couldn't make it. Although after seeing this much, I don't see what was the point of this event. The only observations that this debate seems to have revealed are the ones that I thought most every thinking person already knew about the union. I guess the only thing that people can see first hand is the indifferent behavior and lack of self control of the union representatives. It's interesting to watch. But it also goes along with the foolish and negligent attitude on full display on their web site so it's nothing that surprising. It's common for like to attract like.
Re: IBITE_JOURNAL_OPENFORUMCLOSEDUNION
It's just one perspective. Depending on who you ask, it could be something totally different.
They should put their cut up. I'm sure there was security cameras like mine there.
Maybe we can motivate Chance to put a full unedited cut up for people who want to watch something without edits...cuz I'm bias. People should make up their own minds. Everyone's footage should be shared.
I mean, one of their defeatist anecdotes was about how people don't want to rock the boat. And it seemed like they felt more people needed to rock the boat...but then get mad when people rock the boat...and passively aggressively threaten to sue people if they do rock the boat...man, my head hurts just trying to reflect on it....
Afterwards I went up to the dude who called me an asshole, to thank him for giving me a platform to be heard and since I didn't know him I wanted to make sure my issues weren't personal...he just kinda stared and said "oooook" and returned a very limp hand shake...and when I walked away he laughed...wished I had that on video...these dudes, they are not leaders.
As someone who was and is a warrior and now is in a leadership type roll, they insult me with their emplied authority. I strive to become like others who have inspired me...my bar is set by those before me..and these dudes want you to bend over instead of reaching higher.
With all due respect....due
Someone in the audience used her board position with her HOA and she felt resentful that the members expected the board to solve all the problems...wtf? thats your job! The Union should be in the business of solving the problems, putting the big picture in place..but it was so painfully obvious that this leadership had no direction, no tolerance, or inclination as to what to do next.
I wouldn't even say old mentality. I'd say, lacking mentality.
And yes, this is coming from a NON UNION artist...who knows more about this Union then most of its members...payin their "dues"...which means to one of the panelist, getting fuked a couple times...
good luck!
Re: IBITE_JOURNAL_OPENFORUMCLOSEDUNION
My final cut is MUCH longer then I prefer. I originally wanted to cut just a five minute montage of the classy stuff said and leave it at that. ...hahaha...but it was all so funny to me.
I don't expect them to care who I am,after 12 years of acting like I'm no one, but the way they dismissed the points I was making spoke volumes...to me at least...cuz those points where dope. made by better people then me, before me. I just shared them in my own way...But I know it's common not to want to rock the boat...the union reps on the panel all cited many anecdotes how thats a common theme in their community of "joiners"...while us dogs bark as the parade passes us by....hahahahaha. But I had to share this with the people ...Man, this is all so comical. Surreal.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not surprised. Not at all. And from the majority of conversations I have with my bruthas and sistas who work top tier positions in Union shops, where I have been offered top tier positions as well, none of them have illusions of what the union is...even if they don't know the specifics, they know the only reason they are union is cuz "A" they have to if they want to work for a mainstream studio or on intellectual properties that inspire them from their child hood or "B" cuz the benefits are good.
Coming from a place where I've had and have opportunities to work for non union and union shops, I find I negotiate my own deals most the time and have a lawyer for other stuff.And my rates compete, if not are more then union "joiners" rates...at times. Eb and flow. Tis the nature of the business. Ask anyone union or not.
So my only position in all this is to call it like is. And since I participate in AN and had to deal with people coming here to make it personal, I have added entertainment interest to reveal the frauds. I like to reveal illusions...so people can choose their illusion with due diligence and not by blind movement. Bumping into walls. Tripping over traps...
Just realizing that the Animation Union and the way its set up is a monopoly....reveals much.
People coming together to help each other is good.
Strength in numbers,Good
but not when you're only as strong as your weakest link. Thats where leaders come into play. They raise the bar, not lower it to cater to the weakest link...and even worse when the leaders end up being the weakest link.

Re: IBITE_JOURNAL_OPENFORUMCLOSEDUNION
Thanks for doing this bro. Editing and prepping the video was a lot of work. You've given the community a glimpse at what went down last October 21. Something we would never see from theses guys.
I'd like to leave an extended commentary regarding my feelings about the event and I will soon. I want to think about it a little more before I do. I appreciate everything you've done to share this with others. Sure is markedly different than what the Guild's business rep described on their blog. The truth often is when it comes to their rendition of things.
Thanks again for this dedicated effort Snakebite. If there was anyone with your caliber of guts, determination and considerate character involved in the leadership of the animation union things would be very different.
Re: IBITE_JOURNAL_OPENFORUMCLOSEDUNION
You know you have inspired me bro, but even more what you created with AN inspired me to participate. You put your neck on the chopping block for a long time. For some people who didn't even understand why you were doing it yet still felt the need to assassinate your character. And after 20 years in the game now, comic books, publication, animation, production, video games, fashion, jewelry, internet development...the list is pretty long now..I see how people turn on those who choose to shine instead of taking lack of action out of fear...
But even more so the caliber of creators who come to AnimationNation. It was so clear to me after this meeting then I went to an AN night and it was night and day...and just last night I watched Dark Crystal for the first time since I was a kid and it smacked me in the face again that our industry always tells metaphorical allagories of itself...
So these creators who come to AN inspired me more then anyone to speak up. I got a little excited but mostly cuz my old reactionary ways wanted me to show them who REALLY could be the biggest punk ass. There was so many levels of disrespect and it wasn't coming from me. no matter how loud I got or how much I spoke over their words. because their words were disrespectful, and I truly believe they really don't understand this. I believe they are so in their system and they have experienced many levels of abuse themselves that this is all they know.
I walked away feeling good that I said what I said..and I walked away feeling sorry for them. And feeling embarrassed for 839's "joiners"..you guys have poor leaders. I don't care what they say, 839 is the leaders. They set the pace. The rest of you all just do what you're told for the most part..and I get it, cuz they make it hard to do anything else..and when the work load is hard enough, who wants to do another persons job?...that they should do...cuz it's their job...

Re: IBITE_JOURNAL_OPENFORUMCLOSEDUNION
I think that best describes my sentiments. I feel sorry for these guys, along with with disappointment, and a touch of something that feels like hopelessness. I can understand why so many people don't care. The irony of it all is that the apathy of the vast majority in animation makes it possible for these guys to continue to thrive. On the one hand, they complain about their members not getting involved. On the other hand, why would they want their members to get involved if it meant the end of their control over this union.
The colossal anachronism of the leadership of the Animation Guild. They ride the past and pretend like they're some militant pro-worker labor group but in reality they're a benefits management group that hasn't had any real power or significant influence since 1979. They got their asses handed to them in the strike of 1982. In reality, this modern day version of the animation union is all about not rocking the boat. I don't see these guys challenging the system. It's more about keeping everyone in their place.
I think that's a big contributing factor why you see so much unpaid overtime at their studios. That's why so few artists in animation stand up for themselves cuz they know chances are they'll be standing alone.
They'll yell at you, personally insult you, use bravado, do just about anything to make it seem that their critics are the ones with the problem when in fact they're chronically dysfunctional and have been that way for a long time. Just watch Snakebite's video if you want to see this tactic in action.
For me, I find satisfaction and some closure in knowing that folks can watch these guys and see for themselves what they're all about. Especially in regards to the union meeting I was invited to attend on September 30, 2008 when I witnessed their business rep dealing with Guild members who asked for assistance with release forms they were required to sign when submitting their portfolios to Disney. The Guild tried to portray my description of what I saw as a gross misrepresentation of what went down that night. I think people can get a better idea of what really happened by watching their behavior this past October 21.
Re: IBITE_JOURNAL_OPENFORUMCLOSEDUNION
My attitude changed when I arrived at the union's building for the debate and saw the guys I was going to be sharing the panel with. Physically they were in bad shape. When I saw how unhealthy they appeared, I felt sorry for them.
Something else that struck me that night and which is worth mentioning. The current president of the union was in attendance, and sat in the back of the room not saying a word.
I wonder if I'm the only one who thinks it's odd, that of the three guys who represented the animation union at this event, two of them were writers.
Also, hardly anyone from the union showed up for the debate. I don't know why there weren't more Guild members present. Of what, 3,000 plus members of the Animation Guild, that more than a small handful would show up to participate in something like this?
Re: IBITE_JOURNAL_OPENFORUMCLOSEDUNION
Yeah, I was told after the event that the Union President was there. I wondered why the old union president was up there and not him...but immediately dismissed my question because really...it didn't matter.
But never the less found it strange.
It's easy to set the pace, standard and illusion of the dynamics of such meetings with such little participation on the "joiners" part. If more people where there from the studios it would be harder to let everyone think that they are in control, or that they do anything besides maintain health benefits for all the "joiners" who pay for the rent on their big impressive building.
IATSE is their umbrella corp even though they try to paint the picture that they are individual organizations...#839, means you're 839th union in the organization. that should tell you something...like, they are ONE big corporation that has the monopoly on your careers.
good luck!
Re: IBITE_JOURNAL_OPENFORUMCLOSEDUNION
The man asking questions in this video I have been following for a couple years now. He's got a great series of videos out there and asks some real tough questions and challenges people to think for themselves.
This particular video reminded me of my encounter with the Animation Union, Local 839...
whenever I had a question in regards to reform the Union's panel would always say it was federal law...like federal law was something that made people do things that weren't right and out of their control.
we're all in control. We all have choices.
anyways, check the video and check out Danny's other shorts. They're really good and I never feel like I'm being preached to.
Re: IBITE_JOURNAL_OPENFORUMCLOSEDUNION
I decided to edit my comments above some time after I posted them so they wouldn't appear as antagonistic. It's difficult with these guys cuz everything is seen as antagonistic. Everything becomes personal.
Something else that I find baffling is how they dismiss any suggestions as to how to improve the union or make things better for everyone. Look at what they get away with. And nothing happens as a result. They can behave any way they want, they can do as much or as little as they want, and they'll still get their money. To me and to many others, that's another reason why I have no faith, confidence or hope in this crew. There's nothing to balance it out. There's no system of checks and balances that rewards good, considerate leadership as well as exacting a price for pretty much being the way they are. They've been this way for years and nothing changes. It only gets worse.
It would be so cool to have a union that believed in unity. That was pro-active and reached out to everyone. A union that had some first class leadership. A union that wasn't a negative, fear based organization, one which had some gratitude and appreciated the huge support that it got from independent groups such as AN instead of thinking of us as an adversary. All the years spent rallying for unity and encouraging people to join the Guild, all of this goodwill tossed away and destroyed.
We are not the enemy. How many times have I said that since the beginning of AN, and yet that's how they continue to think.
Nothing gets through to these guys. Nothing.
Someday, they'll all be gone and a whole new generation will take over. Hopefully, the union's tradition of hostility and intolerance will go with them and the ones who continue will be a higher breed of professionals.
Re: IBITE_JOURNAL_OPENFORUMCLOSEDUNION
I just don't think there's any point in censoring what we say, C. No matter what we say and how we say it, at least its about questioning what doesn't work while empowering people into following their truths and to see the real.
These guys should start considering self censorship...man, I could only imagine if I was young and at that meeting..I would of "A" been depressed or "B" been kicked out for calling them all a bunch of pussies...cuz thats what my younger self would of done. So considering where I come from, I was very much acting with much respect to people who had none.
That meeting actually made me stronger in my position and even more unapologetic for anything I have said of done up to this point.
When a bad person walks in your yard a good watch dog doesn't just bark, it bites!
Re: IBITE_JOURNAL_OPENFORUMCLOSEDUNION
I've been following this cat too. His name is Charlie Veitch..Charlie and Danny from previous video rolled together for some time but then went separate ways because of their difference of approach...although they still have mad respect for each other.AND they are both about speaking their truth and questioning the way we are programmed and how we think...or don't think.
I relate to what he says in this video and anyone who speaks their truth will relate too...
Re: IBITE_JOURNAL_OPENFORUMCLOSEDUNION
Thanks for that video. As someone who's directly experienced what he's talking about, I completely relate to it.
What makes this all the more poignant is that the biggest sponsor of hate mentality in the animation community is the industry's union, the Animation Guild.
According to Steve Hulett at the end of the Oct 21 debate, the Guild must have a meeting of their executive board to decide whether or not to moderate the hate comments from their blog. Another symptom of the chronic dysfunction of this organization. Since most of the hate is targeted towards me and others here on AN, I don't see that happening any time soon, especially since Hulett pretty much runs their blog as well as controls the union. It's far too beneficial for the Guild in its present state of screwed-upedness to sponsor anonymous hate on the comments section of the blog. It's convenient to let an irrational, malicious element do their dirty work instead of engaging in considerate, reasonable discourse.
What I edited from my previous post were comments along the lines of the Guild being the lamest union in the entire entertainment industry. Also, that my recent conversations with the United Steelworkers provided a very clear contrast between a real union and something that poses as one. There were a couple of other things as well but it's okay. It really doesn't matter anymore. Nothing will make a difference with them. Being nice or trying to soften one's approach makes no difference. They're committed to the low road.
Yelling, threatening, flipping people off in public gatherings, harboring hate, that's the leadership of the Guild. Indifference, fear, misguided anger, that's the body politic of the organization. No new ideas, no plan for the future. Nothing but hot air from cold people.
There's a huge community of animation today that goes beyond the Guild, full of talented individuals who are a cut above the status quo. I choose to look in that direction.
Re: IBITE_JOURNAL_OPENFORUMCLOSEDUNION
I have to say, I really love the part where i get flipped off. I don't even know Jerry. You can't really hear him say "shutup" to me. Which is the reason I original put the camera on him...just really an unattractive moment in my life....and I like it when people give me the bird, cuz the bird, it's the word...
I'm about to share the video on other platforms. I thought it was important to view here. But I think I'm gonna submit it to Animation Magazine and a few other online promotional platforms.
People need to see the leaders behind their "dues"
Re: IBITE_JOURNAL_OPENFORUMCLOSEDUNION
You stirred the wrath of the elitist geeks with your questioning bro.
I wonder what would happen if he did that to you on the street.
And people wonder why we have a problem with cartoonbrew. Actually, it's the other way around and been that way since the beginning.
People see the truth, especially when it's obvious.
This debate was the last in a long series of formative events for me. I can walk away from the waste of time these guys have become and move on to bigger and better things that benefit more people.
Re: IBITE_JOURNAL_OPENFORUMCLOSEDUNION
I don't even read Cartoon Brew so I have no issues with Jerry...again, I don't know him other then our dealings here on AN.
I would have to say, if that man approached me on the street I would bet the money in my pocket the dude wouldn't be so ballsy...and if he was, I would probably just laugh and keep moving...now, if I was in my 20s and he did that on the street most likely he wouldn't of...hahahaha
It's typical of fear based belief systems to feed off each others fears and react in very non proactive ways...thats why unions don't mean s*** if the members are weak.
They need to be individually strong in order to be strong when they come together.
Incidentally I had some cool holiday gatherings with lots of different and new people this week.
A few which worked in animation. High positions. Prestigious positions. Artists. Concept guys. Knew a lot of the same people I knew...One of which reads AnimationNation...I told him about the Union meeting and what I captured on film...he said "good for you, we need more of that"...he had no illusions of what the Union is...and again, this dude is no bull. They can dismiss me because I'm not union, but this dude was Disney now he's Dreamworks. He was surprised and happy I got the footage I got.

Ever since I was little, I've been told I have an eye for seeing the world from a different angle. My first camera – a Polaroid – helped me capture that on film. Today I shoot digital but the "thinking outside the box" hasn't stopped. When I don't hold a camera (or a book) in my hand, pencils and paintbrushes are my tools of choice. Nature is my biggest inspiration by far and a never-ending source of stunning sights. I hope my photographs and art can bring nature's beauty right into your home and brighten up your day.

Common Mistakes
One of the most common and costly financial mistakes is buying a 4X4 vehicle. Whether it be a pickup or the increasingly popular SUV, unless a 4X4 is a necessary part of creating income, it is one the worst investments a person can make. 4X4s are significantly more expensive than other vehicles to buy, and they are also more expensive- sometimes much more expensive, to drive and maintain. Families can often save up to $10,000 or more- not including interest, on the purchase price of a vehicle if we can get past the 4X4 craving. But the savings don't stop there. In an era of high gas prices, the cost of driving a 4X4 compared to other vehicles can add up to several hundred dollars a month in fuel costs for an active family. This cost difference can make special occasions like family get-togethers and vacations a downer, because fuel costs can ruin the fun.
The other common and costly mistake many families make is purchasing a home we can't afford. This is often driven by good intentions. Most of us want our home to be a place of security and comfort for our family. This desire is often used as justification for purchasing a home that doesn't fit our budget. Although our intentions may be good, using these good intentions to justify buying a home we can't afford can actually make our families less comfortable by increasing financial stress levels and increasing time spent away from home to pay the bills.
In the end, whether it be 4X4s, homes or any number of other things that tempt us to spend more than we can afford, spending money we don't have robs us of our family's most valuable commodity- time spent together.

Cardiac catheterization is a test that uses a catheter and an x-ray machine to check the heart and its blood supply.
Cardiac catheterization is used to find the cause of symptoms, such as chest pain, that could suggest heart problems.
Cardiac catheterization helps doctors:
If you are planning to have cardiac catheterization, your doctor will review a list of possible complications. Complications may include:
Some factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
Your doctor may order:
Talk to your doctor about your medications. You may be asked to stop taking
or change the doses of
some medications before the procedure.
Leading up to your procedure:
Local anesthesia will be used at the insertion site. A mild sedative may be given 1 hour before the procedure or through an IV during the procedure. This will help you relax.
During the procedure, you will receive IV fluids and medications. An EKG will be monitoring your heart's activity.
You will be awake but sedated so that you will be more relaxed. You will be asked to perform basic functions such as coughing, breathing out, and holding your breath. Tell your doctor if you feel any chest pain, lightheadedness, nausea, tingling, or other discomfort.
The catheter will be inserted into an artery in either the groin or arm.
The insertion area will be
cleaned, and numbed. A needle will be inserted into a blood vessel. A wire will be passed through the needle and into the blood vessel. The wire will then be guided through until it reaches your heart. A soft, flexible catheter tube will then be slipped over the wire and threaded up to your heart.
X-rays will be taken during the procedure to know where the wire and catheter are. Dye will be injected into the arteries of the heart. This will make the arteries and heart show up on the x-ray images. You may feel warm during the dye injection.
Once in place, the catheter can be used to take measurements. Blood pressure can be taken within the heart's different chambers. Blood samples may also be taken. Multiple x-ray images will be taken to look for any disease in the arteries. An aortogram may also be done at this time. This step will give a clear image of the aorta. After all the tests and images are complete, the catheter will be removed.
Sometimes, a
balloon angioplasty
and stenting will be done if there is an area in your arteries that is narrow or clogged. These procedures help to open narrowed arteries.
Finally, a bandage will be placed over the groin or arm area.
The procedure takes about 30-90 minutes. Preparation before the procedure and recovery after it will add several hours to the total time.
Although the procedure is generally not painful, it can cause some discomfort, including:
Pain medication will be given when needed.
0-1 days
When you return home, do the following to help ensure a smooth recovery:
Monitor your recovery after you leave the hospital. Call your doctor if any of these occur:
Call for medical help right away if you have symptoms including:
If you think you have an emergency, call for emergency medical services right away.

16 CFR 23.25 - Misuse of the word
(a) It is unfair or deceptive to use the word "gem" to describe, identify, or refer to a ruby, sapphire, emerald, topaz, or other industry product that does not possess the beauty, symmetry, rarity, and value necessary for qualification as a gem.
(b) It is unfair or deceptive to use the word "gem" to describe any laboratory-created industry product unless the product meets the requirements of paragraph (a) of this section and unless such word is immediately accompanied, with equal conspicuousness, by the word "laboratory-grown," "laboratory-created," or "[manufacturer-name]-created," "synthetic," or by some other word or phrase of like meaning, so as to clearly disclose that it is not a natural gem.
Note to § 23.25:
In general, use of the word "gem" with respect to laboratory-created stones should be avoided since few laboratory-created stones possess the necessary qualifications to properly be termed "gems." Imitation diamonds and other imitation stones should not be described as "gems." Not all diamonds or natural stones, including those classified as precious stones, possess the necessary qualifications to be properly termed "gems."

Comments about ROCKY Mens Iron Clad Waterproof 10" Wellington Plain-Toe Work Boot:
I am a superintendent for a general contractor and wear these boots daily. They felt great at the beginning but broke down way too quickly. My job is primarily walking around and supervising and these boots lasted less than a year. First the sole on the heel of the boot began to wear through and bits of rubber chunked off. Then the sole in front of the heel began to seperate from the different layers of rubber. Chunks of the rubber on the sole literally detached.
If one of my workers had these boots I don't think they would have lasted 6 months. My limited exposure to wet concrete and working on my knees was still too much for these boots. Even the inside lining is wearing out.

This week we fixed a John Deere tractor for a local church, which had toe out on the front steering. The toe out made difficult to steer straight and wore off all of the tread on the left front tire. It looks like while in service the tire hit something and most likely bent various components including the tie rod. The tie rod was a complex bend with an angular orientation between the two ends, so I chose to shorten the shaft by cutting off ½ in the middle and welding it back together in a straight portion of the shaft, instead of bending it in two places to make it shorter. Before cutting I scribed a line along the shaft so that I could align it after welding. The tractor with the repaired tie rod is shown in the last picture.

He may have had home hill advantage but Kjetil Jansrud still needed to master the tricky conditions down the Olympiabakken slope to win his second race of the weekend. Jansrud felt that he had had a bit of luck with his run to take his third career World Cup win, all at Kvitfjell.
Starting at the same place that the second Downhill had started, the course gave the racers plenty to think about. Snow conditions and tight turns combined to create a real challenge for the racers.
Andrew Weibrecht, fresh from winning the silver in the Olympic Super G was the early pace setter but the HEAD World Cup Rebel had his time bettered soon: "It was difficult. The track was slow in a lot of places, then down bottom it sped up a lot and it was pretty dark and bumpy once you got out of the trees," he explained.
After Patrick Kueng had taken a grip of the lead, Matthias Mayer pushed him close to step on to the podium and then Aksel Lund Svindal tore into third to further extend his lead in the Overall. The race was not over just yet as going 21 was the Olympic Super G Champion, Kjetil Jansrud.
Jansrud pushed it to the limit at the top to create a big buffer between him and Kueng. Through the tricky turns at the midway section of the course, Jansrud held firm and then posted a faster speed in the run in to the finish than Kueng to take the win. "It was very tough today, I felt good on start but heard Aksel's split times and he was fast on top but lost a lot of time at the bottom," Jansrud explained.
"After Aksel's run, coaches told me to watch out in bottom part because if I wanted to take this home I would have to ski fast there. In the end I tried to mix attacking and being smart and I had a good run. It's insane how in skiing so many skiers fight for victory all the time and to be able to grab two out of three here is just extraordinary," he continued.
Mayer held on to third and explained: "It was another very difficult race. This run was brutal, it was soft, visibility poor, the course setting difficult for me but it was still a cool race. "Overall it's a good weekend for me, after skiing out on Friday yesterday and today turned out to be pretty perfect," Mayer said.
Despite not scoring a top three result, what he had set out to do, Svindal has secured the Super G Globe with one race to go and also has a lead in the Overall standings with six races to go.
1. Kjetil Jansrud (NOR) HEAD
2. Patrick Kueng (SUI)
3. Matthias Mayer (AUT) HEAD
4. Aksel Lund Svindal (NOR) HEAD

Jennifer Lawrence has proven she is a force to be reckoned with when it comes to her fashionable choices on the red carpet, but the starlet also proved that even a tried-and-true fashionista has her off days. Currently the face of Miss Dior, Jennifer attended the Christian Dior Fashion Show in Paris on Monday wearing an ensemble that totally missed the mark.
Dressed head-to-toe in Dior, the 22-year-old wore a pair of charcoal pants that were unique, to say the least. While the left pant leg was semifitted, the right one looked more like a skirt than a pant leg. And to top off the bizarre look, J-Law paired the matador-inspired pants with a multicolored lace crop top that showed off her toned abs. Sleek black shades and a pair of black pumps completed the outfit.
We love Jennifer and her style risks, but this look was a major fashion flub!
Check out the vid to see Jennifer's style misstep!

|Event Title:
|Some Girl(s) (More Information)
|Event Description:
About the play
Director Jeremy Lee Cudd shares, "Playwright Neil LaBute calls the play a 'romance,' which can be very misleading if you have the wrong frame of reference. LaBute refers to the French films of Eric Rohmer as a source of inspiration here, not the sanitized, Big-American-Movie notion of romance that leaves out all the nasty, messy bits.
Apart from those 'high school sweethearts' out there, the rest of us stumble through many relationships – crippled by our insecurities and blinded by our immaturity – in the search for that 'someone special.' This play takes an unflinching look at the wake of destruction we can leave behind us when we think we are just 'following our heart.' I invite the audience to bring all their relationship baggage with them to the show and take the ride with us."
The play is approximately 2 hours. Some Girl(s) includes adult language, sexual themes and situations. Seating is limited.

The one coach I was worried about possibly leaving was Kacy Rodgers who I think has done a very good job with the D-line.
In 2009, Mike Maser the offensive line coach, was fired and replaced with Dave DeGuglielmo. Kicking coach Steve Hoffman left for the Chiefs and they hired Darren Rizzi to be the assistant special teams coach under John Bonamego.

Team 2012-13: CSKA Moscow (Russia-PBL)
Career: Lokomotiv Rostov (Russia-Superleague A, 2005-06); CSK VVS Samara (Russia-Superleague A, 2006-08); UNICS Kazan (Russia-Superleague A, 2008-09); Dynamo Moscow (Russia-PBL, 2009-11); CSKA Moscow (2011-13)
Evgeny Voronov is a player every coach would love to have on his roster. He is not the man who will demand the ball on every possession, nor the man who will make the crowd go crazy with a magnificent dunk. But Voronov is the man who does so many little things on the court, and does it well. Evgeny is known for his fearless work on the defensive end and corner threes. Voronov's strengths were used properly last season by CSKA coach Ettore Messina, together with whom the shooting guard won PBL and VTB titles and reached the Final Four of Euroleague. EuroBasket in Slovenia will be Voronov's second big tournament with the Russian national team following last year's Olympics, where the team took bronze.

Then last week I stumbled on the art of Paul Villinski, who turns old Beer cans into beautiful works of art by making them into butterflies and birds. I had to try it and whilst my efforts aren't a shade on Villinski's, I found it to be a surprisingly simple process and one that can be done with household materials, and with no specialist knowledge. Although there are some great Instructables on here for making butterfly charms and ornaments or reusing drink cans, none that I can see are similar to this one.
As with all my Instuctables I have probably over done it with the photos and descriptions, and have made a few mistakes during the process, nothing serious and I will point them out as we go.
I find the process quite addictive which is handy as I intend to make a lot of these and use them to create wall art in a way similar to Villinski's, you could also turn them into fridge magnets or perhaps stick them to hair clips.
I hope you both enjoy, and find this Instructable useful.
Edit: Only after publishing did I see bauble's Drink Can Craft instructable http://www.instructables.com/id/Aluminium-Drink-Can-Craft it also features making butterflies and has some other great ideas for things to do with cans, do check it out.
Update: Following a suggestion by scraptopower, I went back and investigated the use of a can opener to remove the top of the can, I had tried this before but obviously with the wrong type of opener. It actually works quite well although it does pose some issues, I have added this alternative method to the cutting the can step, so you can choose which you prefer.
Update 2: Again I have made some changes to the cutting the can step to include weibbed's method of dismantling the can, weibbed has a lot more experience working with cans than I do and consequently their method is by far the best. Also added a new photo of the butterflies in situ.
Hmmm...to be continued. I like the idea wondering if it could work as a mobile for the solar system too...
These are really nice and thank you for the patterns.
Insects mixed in?
I'm quite inspired!
P.S. sorry for taking so long to reply :)
I did try cutting cans a while back to make 'crown shaped ' candle holders for Christmas display but I forget the easiest way I did them. If I remember I will post back.
great work and love the butterflies.
Please do let me know if you remember how you opened them.
Remove the pop tab and save for later.
Use a side cutting can opener and cut off the lid.
Wash and dry the can once the lid is off.
Slice down the height of the can with a pair of kitchen scissors. DO NOT CLOSE THE SCISSORS ALL THE WAY to the point when you cut! (this is how you prevent those sharp burrs that cause injuries).
Turn the can on its side, and cut all the way around just below the neck of the can . I am right handed, so I gently put my left hand in the opening of the can, and cut with my right hand, starting at the slit I made when I cut the height of the can).
Cutting off the neck effectively removes the structural support and makes it much easier to then cut around the bottom of the can, in parallel with your neck cut.
I've had a chance to try your method now and agree it is by far the best, would you mind if I updated the 'ible to include your process, full accrediting it to you obviously.
Let me know if there is anything you think needs changing.
I have been giving it some thought though. I've bought a role of iron wire which I'm planning to stiffen and hot clue to the undersides, its the attaching to the wall part that I'm still insure of, obviously drilling lots of holes in the walls isn't going to fly. I do have some foam board so i might try setting the butterflies in that and attaching it the wall, when doing text Vallinski seems to use a frame of the word an stick the wire into that, and the attaching it frame and all to the wall.
I have also considered magnetic paint o the walls with magnets stuck to the underside of the butterflies.
Let me know how you get on and any ideas you have, I would be very interested in seeing them.
BTW if you haven't started disassembling the cans yet I would definitely recommend weibbed's method in the comments. I hope to update the 'ible to include it soon.

It's amateur hour at the White House. So says New York Times best-selling author Edward Klein in his political exposé The Amateur. Tapping into the public's growing sentiment that President Obama is in over his head, The Amateur argues that Obama's toxic combination of incompetence and arrogance has run our nation and his presidency off the rails.
"Obama was both completely inexperienced and ideologically far to the left of most Americans when he entered the White House," says Klein. "And he was so arrogant that he didn't even know what he didn't know."
Klein, who is known for getting the inside scoop on everyone from the Kennedys to the Clintons, reveals never before published details about the Obama administration's political inner workings, as well as Barack and Michelle's personal lives, including the inordinate influence Michelle wields over Barack and her feud with a high profile celebrity; the real reason Rahm Emanuel left the White House (it wasn't for family reasons); why Valerie Jarrett's role is closer to that of Rasputin than impartial senior advisor; how Obama has purposefully forgotten and ignored those who put him in power, including the Kennedys and the Jewish and African American communities in Chicago.
From Obama's conceited and detached demeanor, to his detrimental reliance on Michelle Obama and Valerie Jarrett's advice, to the Obamas' extravagant and out of touch lifestyle, The Amateur reveals a president whose ignorance and incompetence are sabotaging himself, his presidency, and America.
©2012 Edward Klein (P)2012 Blackstone Audio, Inc.
"The Amateur is the best book I've read on how Barack Obama is wrecking our country. I urge everyone who cares about America to read Edward Klein's eyeopening book." (Donald J. Trump)
"This is a racy, entertaining, informative book that illuminates apects of Obama and his team that have not been previously reported. A necessary antidote to the Obama worship that is sure to characterize the election debate." (Dinesh D'Souza, New York Times best-selling author)
"A devastating indictment of the lethal combination of incompetence and radicalism that has made Obama into one of the worst presidents in American history." (Norman Podhoretz, New York Times best-selling author)
World Explorer
"Obama Fans Aren't Going to Like This Book!"
I would definitely listen again as there are some back stories surrounding Obama's closest aids that I found very interesting.
Dick Cheney's memoir has similar stories. This book is about someone on the far opposite to Cheney though.
I felt the narration was very good. His voice was clear and easily understandable.
Valerie Jarrett seems to be a puppet master and works closely with Michelle Obama in making key decisions.
"Interesting, revealing and a little - scary..."
I have read mixed reviews of the author's other works so I listened with a skeptical ear. However I was immediately drawn into the story and enjoyed it very much. It promises to tell us about a man we know little about other than his carefully manicured public image. People on the right will have their suspicions confirmed. People on the left will dismiss it out of hand. I thought it was a good read, if a little unbelievable. That being said, if just 10% of this book is true, we are in big trouble. Recommended for political junkies.
"Fascinating. Couldn't stop listening"
This book is a very good listen. The stories seem credible, even though some believe the book to be exaggerated. I usually take a while to finish an audiobook, but I finished this one in less than a week because it held mt interest. John McLain narrated The Amateur smoothly.
"a great analysis"
looking back at facts and mistakes and peaple behind the scenes......the iresponsible media, not protecting all Americans.....
"The Amateur Exposed"
Great compilation of information. Where was this before the election of 2008? A must-read into the background of our least-vetted President.
"Worth Listening To"
Eye Opening Information
Barry & Michele's "relationships" with the other people in their lives and how they just throw them under the bus.
Inteaction between Hillary & Bill was like being a fly on the wall.
Made me feel sad that we have someone so incompetent in the White House but sadly we knew that already. This book just confirmed it.
Great book! Would recommend it to anyone who wants to know what is REALLY going on in the White House.
Don't know what I want to be when I grow up. Trip's cool though. Use Audible to make gym-training sane... And rip my imagination.
"No one is this evil, awful, bad, or dark. Aaargh!"
Look, I decided not to vote for President Obama before I read "the Amateur: I'm sorry I wasted the time on this polemic. According to Kline Mr. Obama is the worst PERSON to ever sit in the oval office. He has no redeeming characteristics. Klein is so over the top that he convinced me to take another look at The President. And while I will probably still have sufficient reservations regarding his economic strategies, I'm certainly going to give him the benefit of the doubt after listening to Klein's relentless vilification. Okay... I have learned never to read anything by this author again. Unless you feel the need for a loooooong injection of hatred delivered by an author who may even have contempt for your intelligence.... Skip this book.
It is very informative as to the inadequacy of the present inhabitant of the White House.
It totally describes him to a T.
When discussing the first international failure this man had as a president. When he decided to go to Copenhagen and beg for the Olympics to be turned down in the first round. It describes his arrogance and amateurish behavior. As the writer says: The president should never go anywhere unless he knows the outcome but he thought that his "charisma" would win the world over.
He was a little boring. I would have had someone else do the reading.
Not everything that glitters.....
"Everyone should listen or read this book"
Only listened to the audio.
Obama Exposed
Every eligible voter in the USA should read or listen to this book before the election November 6th.
It will help anyone to understand who Barack Obama really is and where he is coming from.
The in depth interviews of people close to the Obamas.
Everyone should read this book for facts about the Obamas and where they really started....
"I think he really doesn't like Obama"
Of course, as a European, criticism based on Obama wanting to make the USA like some crazy socialist European state with a working national health insurance system, takes me a moment to decipher. I can understand the poor chap's frustration with a liberal media treating Obama's election like the second coming, but I got a bit tired of his polemic style, which never really managed to land killer blows on his object.

A cheese that has been wrapped in cloth, generally instead of wax. After the curds are removed from the press, the pressed cheese is wrapped with a sterile cloth "bandage"; the cloth becomes an inedible part of the rind. This is a technique used with fine Cheddar. See the photo of Fiscalini Bandage-Wrapped Cheddar on the next page.
A term often used to describe a cheese's aroma and sometimes its taste: Aged goat cheeses are often barnyardy. It is considered a positive characteristic of the cheese.
Bleu is the French spelling of blue. See blue mold cheeses.
This class or category of cheese comprises the white cheeses with soft creamy interiors. The rind is composed of one of the greatest cheese molds, Penicillium candidum, which grows naturally as the cheese ages. The mold grows on the outside of the cheese, breaking down the protein and fat inside, making it soft, runny, and more complex. Bloomy rind cheeses are usually made of cow's milk, resulting in a very creamy and very soft paste. They are aged quickly, resulting in mild and subtle flavors. The most popular cheeses in the world—Brie and Camembert—fall into this category.
Other bloomy-rinded favorites include triple crèmes such as Brillat-Savarin and Pierre Robert, with 75% butterfat.
Bloomy rind cheeses are generally aged for two weeks, which produces a mild flavor and subtle aroma. Learn the words that describe bloomy cheese.
Perhaps the most distinctive class of cheese, simply for the mold inside that creates the blue or blue-green streaks. Penicillium roqueforti,
Penicillium gorgonzola or Penicillium glaucum spores
are injected into the cheese, which provide the
blue-green colors and piquant flavor (although some blues are mild). The mold will not thrive until oxygen comes into contact with it, so the cheeses are pierced with pins.
Then air is injected, which allows the mold to flourish and causes the cheeses to develop a very high acid content and crumb-like texture. Blues are typically aged for 90 days, which enables them to become more solid. Blues can range from high-moisture to firm and well-aged; the common thread is the addition of the mold spores into the milk during the cheesemaking process.
Blue cheeses are found in all categories of cheese with the exception of fresh cheeses, since the mold needs time to develop. Roquefort, Stilton and Gorgonzola are the big three, with Danish Blue the fourth best-known blue.
The legend of blue cheese is that a cheesemaker accidentally left a piece of rye bread in the cheese caves. He returned several weeks later to find that the mold covering the bread had attached itself to the cheese. Today, Roquefort is still inoculated with the spores of moldy rye bread. Learn the words that describe blue cheese and learn more about blue cheese.
The French term for a cheese made from sheep's milk.
One of the most famous triple-crème cheeses, from France (photo at right). It is a great pairing with Champagne.
The French word for log, a popular shape for goat cheese (chèvre), shown in the photo at right. It is made in whole logs (generally 8 ounces) and half logs. Pronounced as a cross between "boosh" and "beesh."
Mozzarella cheese made from the milk of the water buffalo, rather than cow's milk. See mozzarella di bufala.
A ball of mozzarella di bufala, filled with scraps of mozzarella and fresh cream, and wrapped in the leaves of asphodel, which indicate the cheese's freshness. A specialty of the Murgia area of Puglia, Italy, it can be served as mozzarella is served, although the creamy insides beg for fresh, crusty bread or crostini. With a very short shelf life, it is flown to specialty cheese shops in the U.S., but can be hard to find. Some U.S. cheesemakers have begun to make it, including Mozzarella Company, which makes the burrata shown in the photo. More about burrata cheese.
These popular cheeses are essentially the same cheese (the recipe is the same), differing only in the locales in which they are made and the sizes in which they are created: Camembert, named after the village in northwestern France where it is made, is made in 4.5-inch wheels, while Brie is made in much larger formats, 11 to 11.8 inches (28 to 30 cm). The paste is straw-colored and flavor is buttery and mushroomy. The soft, bloomy rind, made of Penicillium candidum, is fully edible. As a result of the terroir, and of the faster evaporation in a smaller-size cheese, there are nuances of flavor difference. Read our full article on the difference between Brie and Camembert.
Brie, named for the province in northern France where it originated, is made from raw cow's milk cheese. While it is made in many locales today, only two Bries are AOC-protected: Brie de Meaux and Brie de Melun. The Melun Brie has very ancient origins—manuscripts suggest that it predates the Roman invasion. At the Vienna Congress of 1815, Brie was declared the "king of cheeses" during a diplomatic banquet; it has also been called the "queen of cheeses," and fights Roquefort and Parmigiano-Reggiano for the king's crown.
Many types of cheese are washed with, or submerged into, a brine bath as part of the cheese making process. The brining solution provides cheese with a slightly salty flavor and helps to limit the growth of unwanted bacteria that can produce a foul taste in the cheese (in other stages of the cheese making process, beneficial bacteria are necessary for producing the positive, character-giving qualities of the cheese). Appenzeller, Feta Gouda and Parmigiano-Reggiano are examples of brine-cured cheeses.
Certain types of natural rind cheeses, both cooked and uncooked varieties, have their rinds brushed during the period they spend ripening. This brushing, done by hand or machine, helps the interior of the cheese to keep moist during the ripening period. It also has an effect on the final flavor of the cheese: Etivaz, an AOC-protected Swiss cheese shown in the photo at right, is brushed with salt.

I think my lifting a couple excerpts from Spencer's book might have made it easier for his ideas to be mischaracterized - sorry about that. Of course, if you take WWJD absolutely literally, there are a whole number of logical objections. Spencer refined this a little more and preferred asking "If I spent 3 years in the company of Jesus, what would I think about ..."
One of the most obvious rebuttals to the simplistic WWJD? approach is to ask, "Would Jesus get married?" Well, no -- no he wouldn't. But does that mean nobody ELSE should get married? Okay, fine, sure, any number of the Church Fathers took a dim view of sex and marriage because it meant you could never be a monk, or whatever. But seriously: who today would take that position? Even the most traditional churches out there have sacraments for marriage and the baptizing of children -- despite the fact that Jesus himself never had a family. Is this supposed to be a bad thing, now?
Spencer's objecting to churches who focus on size and growth, who focus on your church attendance as an indicator for how spiritual you are, and who focus on getting involved in little programs inspired by whatever is the latest bestseller at the Christian bookstore. There is a large, large number of churches who do this. But yes, Christianity and attending church is about far more than that. What's useful to understand is a lot of people (rightly or wrongly) leave the evangelical church because they are sick of what they are expected to do and focus on while they go there.
In other words, when Spencer talks about "the Christian religion", he is referring specifically to topical studies, building programs, capital campaigns and attendance figures? Um, wow. That seems awfully reductive -- and probably, in some ways, culturally narrow.
True. Although I'd suggest Spencer is rather making an argument equivalent to saying that a marriage without sex is wrong. Where the analogy breaks down is where your commitment to one particular local church or denomination is not the equivalent to the commitment you make when you get married. The American Evangelical church as a whole is suffering right now from a whole number of problems. There's a reason a large number of believers are leaving it. I'm not one of them, but I understand why they are doing it.
If "I'm not religious but I'm a very spiritual person" equates to "I'm not married but I'm a very sexual person", then it sounds to me like Spencer is almost making an argument equivalent to the idea that marriage kills romance, so we should always stay romantically involved with someone -- we should keep on dating them -- but without actually marrying them. Because once we marry them, we have to deal with, y'know, all the annoying nitty-gritty stuff like where we hang the towels and who gets to pick up the dry-cleaning and all that other boring stuff.

Burt Munro of Invercargill, New Zealand, set the world's land speed record on this heavily modified 1920 Indian® Scout® in 1967 at the legendary Bonneville Salt Flats. Burt began modifying his Indian® Scout® in 1926, and by the time he made it to the salt, it was such a unique amalgam of custom-made components it needed to be torn down and rebuilt after every 10 minutes of run time. Built strictly for speed, the Munro Special was virtually void of any safety equipment. Burt was in pursuit of world-record speed, not safe travels.

Other IJ Cases
The tragic legacy of the welfare system's last 30 years can be seen across the nation. Shattered families headed by single mothers, desolate communities where the work ethic has been replaced by dependency, and an unresponsive bureaucracy all indict the welfare status quo. Despite widespread recognition of these problems, there are no easy answers. Effective reform will come only through bold experiments in states and localities throughout America.
In addition to defending innovative welfare reform programs that help people from dependency to self-sufficiency, the Institute for Justice litigates on behalf of private charities and religious organizations to protect the vital role they play in addressing the myriad social problems confronting America. From drug abuse to family dissolution, government programs have revealed a bankruptcy that underscores the need for a private sector response. Yet as this need grows, we see government frustrating private and religious efforts. This government interference may come in the form of licensing and credentialling laws, zoning requirements, or tax policy, but regardless of the particulars in a given instance, all have the effect of stifling nongovernmental solutions.
In every case we take on, we maximize the opportunity to educate the public about the need for private, nongovernmental problem-solving institutions and the essential role these organizations play in restoring civil society.
