NESS CITY, Kan. — Deputies said a woman in western Kansas sat on her boyfriend's toilet for two years, and they're investigating whether she was mistreated.
Ness County Sheriff Bryan Whipple said a man called his office last month to report that something was wrong with his girlfriend.
Whipple said it appeared the 35-year-old Ness City woman's skin had grown around the seat. She initially refused emergency medical services but was finally convinced by responders and her boyfriend that she needed to be checked out at a hospital.
"We pried the toilet seat off with a pry bar and the seat went with her to the hospital," Whipple said. "The hospital removed it."
Whipple said investigators planned to present their report Wednesday to the county attorney, who will determine whether any charges should be filed against the woman's 36-year-old boyfriend.
"She was not glued. She was not tied. She was just physically stuck by her body," Whipple said. "It is hard to imagine. ... I still have a hard time imagining it myself."
He told investigators he brought his girlfriend food and water, and asked her every day to come out of the bathroom.
"And her reply would be, 'Maybe tomorrow,"' Whipple said. "According to him, she did not want to leave the bathroom."
The boyfriend called police on Feb. 27 to report that "there was something wrong with his girlfriend," Whipple said, adding that he never explained why it took him two years to call.
Police found the clothed woman sitting on the toilet, her sweat pants down to her mid-thigh. She was "somewhat disoriented," and her legs looked like they had atrophied, Whipple said.
"She said that she didn't need any help, that she was OK and did not want to leave," he said.

More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Rates of women who are opting for preventive mastectomies, such as Angeline Jolie, have increased by an estimated 50 percent in recent years, experts say. But many doctors are puzzled because the operation doesn't carry a 100 percent guarantee, it's major surgery -- and women have other options, from a once-a-day pill to careful monitoring.

- More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
She was taken to a hospital in Wichita, about 150 miles southeast of Ness City. Whipple said she has refused to cooperate with medical providers or law enforcement investigators.
Authorities said they did not know if she was mentally or physically disabled.
Police have declined to release the couple's names, but the house where authorities say the incident happened is listed in public records as the residence of Kory McFarren. No one answered his home phone number.
The case has been the buzz in Ness City, said James Ellis, a neighbor.
"I don't think anybody can make any sense out of it," he said.
Ellis said he had known the woman since she was a child but that he had not seen her for at least six years.
He said she had a tough childhood after her mother died at a young age and apparently was usually kept inside the house as she grew up. At one time the woman worked for a long-term care facility, he said, but he did not know what kind of work she did there.
"It really doesn't surprise me," Ellis said of the bathroom incident. "What surprises me is somebody wasn't called in a bit earlier."

Now that Baby H has hit seven months, I have really found some stand out organic skincare products that I like to use on him; these products are gentle enough for his dry and sensitive skin, are reasonable priced and are organic or at least omit any nasty or potentially allergenic ingredients.
I will share more thoughts on baby skincare on my new mummy / parenting blog very soon! It is called Dragon Baby in honour of the fact that H was born Year of the Dragon, and I have finally got a few posts up on there. The link is – Dragon Baby – on Blog Lovin' here – and here is the Twitter to stay updated on new posts.
So onwards to these numerous organic baby products I keep discovering! Organic Monkey is a Fairtrade UK based company set up by two mums, who were disappointed by the range of truly organic skincare products for babies on the high street.
I was talking to a PR lady about Baby H being somewhat fractious at night (hence a slow down to my blogging) due to teething (which by the way, goes on and on and on) and she told me all about these two products. Well…I am all for trying new products!
Rock the Cradle Organic Scalp Oil (30ml – £7.50) is a product for relieving dryness on the scalp. I have tried a few other scalp oils to date and perhaps the nearest to compare to is Green Baby's scalp oil (which I used a few times but didn't really like – it was no more effective then olive oil).
They say:
Dry, flaky skin can be an unsightly and unwelcome addition to your little monkeys scalp. We have come up with a gentle, moisturising blend of organic oils to relieve dryness with organic geranium essential oil (great for helping to restore skins natural balance). This nourishing, easily absorbed oil will help to soften and loosen dry skin, making it easier to gently remove with a soft brush or dry washcloth.
I have had some serious problems with H's scalp – his cradle cap which appeared at 3 months got worse and worse, and although Boot's own cradle cap cream was ok, as was Detinox (a cradle cap shampoo which is HARSH) mildly soothed symptoms neither could clear it up.
Baby H's cradle cap in it's middling stages:
Many people say leave the scales to fall off, which is true, but at the same time they can be itchy. H itched his like crazy and he was mittened up constantly, but still, the scratching ended in an infection…that's another story. Is scalp is now beautiful and healthy but it took 2 rounds of antibiotics and a prescription cleanser from the Dr that surgeons use to clean their hands to sort everything out…
Therefore for us, I found gently removing some of the scales helped him along. One of the best methods I've found for removing the scales (gently) is using an oil like this, leaving it for a little while, then using a steralised toothbrush to work some out with some shampoo.
This is the best premade scalp oil for babies I've tried – I prefer it to say, Burts Bees Nourishing oil which I use a lot on H as I love the smell. It's actually purer – the ingredients for this oil is:
?Carthamus tinctorius (safflower oil), ?Cocos nucifera, (coconut oil), ?Prunus amygdalus (sweet almond oil), ?*Olea europea (olive oil), Tocopherol (vitamin E oil), ?Pelargonium graveolens (geranium essential oil), **Citronellol, **Geraniol, **Linalool
? Organically grown ingredient.
* Fairtrade ingredient certified to international Fairtrade standards. www.fairtrade.org.uk
To be realistic if you are on a budget you can certainly use olive oil instead on babies scalp, but I found that a little heavy and hard to wash out. I am also convinced that something too heavy on the babies head can cause problems too and I prefer to let the scalp breathe a little.
This is a nice product – now that H's scalp is cradle cap free I must admit I don't use oils on it because of my above point (I use a spray moisturiser) but this oil can certainly be used on other body parts, or on another baby!
Cheeky Monkey Organic Cheek Rub For Teething (30ml – £7.50)
I was very excited to get this cheek rub to try because it is so interesting and as far as I know, there's nothing else similar available.
They say:
We have developed an organic cheek rub made up of a soothing blend of 100% organic ingredients combining Arnica, Sweet Almond, olive and Sunflower oils with organic Roman Chamomile, Lavender and Spearmint essential oils to help calm and relieve.
Baby H trying to eat the oils:
Some babies have a hard time when they are teething. Baby H has had some rough nights – they're difficult and symptoms include dribbling, cheek rubbing, red cheeks, pulling his ear, tears, tears, tears.
When this occurs, I have an army of products to help – calpol, teething powder, and teething toys. If he is in pain I don't try and keep him away from painkillers, although I don't like administering them willy nilly, I think, I wouldn't hold back from paracetemol if I had a headache…
Anyway. One a rough night he was pains, I gave him some teething powder then used this rub. The oil is light textured, a light golden hue and smells like fresh peppermint. It is really lovely smelling – refreshing but relaxing.
I rubbed this into H's chubby cheeks in circular motions and he really enjoyed it. I do think it seemed to relieve some of the pain, he felt more ready to rest afterwards and the smell is lovely.
Don't get me wrong – if your baby is having severe teething pains no doubt they will need painkillers but this product is a lovely addition to any teething 'kit' and it has that lovely addition of being soothing to a baby – having their mum or dad do a massage for them when they're not feeling so good.
Totally love this innovative little oil.
Do you like it H?
Other thoughts
I think the range is really nicely packaged (in frosted glass bottles – good quality) and I have no issue dispensing the oil out (sometimes people put oils in stupid bottles and you have to wait forever to get a decent amount of oil). Certainly if I were gifting another mum I'd consider these kinds of products over another babygro, because they will come in useful – all babies will teethe, and many many babies get cradle cap.
Cradle Cap Oil is here and the Cheek Rub for Teething is here (£7.50 each). They also have a Belly Rub which contains lavender which I am tempted to buy as H loves lavender and he sometimes gets windy at night so this would be a nice wind down treat.
Do you have a baby with teething or cradle cap problems?

China's Fragile Forest
Natural forests cover about 10 percent of China, however few of these forests remain in a primary or pristine condition.
China's forests are threatened primarily by timber collection, mining, unregulated harvesting of flora for traditional Chinese medicine and excessive development related to increased tourism. Reforestation efforts by authorities have also caused the proliferation of mono-culture forests, which have hampered forest recovery and negatively affected biodiversity.
In 2011, the UN's official "International Year of Forests," the forests of the southwest of China were classified by Conservation International as one of the world's top ten most threatened forest regions.
This is the third chapter in a long-term body of work focusing on China's environmental crises in the early 21st Century. The previous two chapters have focused on increasing desertification and on disappearing wetlands.
This work was funded by a travel grant from the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting.
Sean Gallagher is a British photojournalist, currently based in Beijing, China. Graduating in Zoology from the University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne in England, his work now focuses on environmental issues in Asia, with specific emphasis on China.
He was the first recipient of the Emerging Photographers Fund in 2008 and is a 4-time recipient of the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting Travel Grant. His work has appeared with news outlets including Newsweek, the New York Times, Der Spiegel and National Geographic. His work on environmental issues in China was acknowledged as "some of the most striking images on display at the Copenhagen climate change conference", by the BBC World Service in 2009.

POTTSTOWN - Neither Rayanna Ramsey nor Megan O'Donnell could recall the exact date or the final score, just that they were freshmen when Pottstown defeated Reading High School for a non-league win in 2010.
'Oh, I remember it,' Ramsey said.
'I remember it well, too,' O'Donnell added.
They remember because it was the only win they've been part of in their high school careers - until last Saturday. Neither was able to hide a childlike smile while talking about it during a practice last week.
All around Ramsey and O'Donnell - co-captains and the only seniors on yet another understaffed Pottstown softball roster this spring – there was so much energy, a noticeable liveliness among their teammates during infield and outfield practice at Memorial Park. Maybe it was a sign of things to come, as just a few days later, Pottstown posted an 18-8 win over visiting Wymossing, the Trojans' second win in four years.
'We're not losers, we just lose games,' said first-year head coach Dot McCrone. 'These girls have an awesome attitude.'
'You wouldn't believe how many coaches and parents from other teams come up to us and say how impressed they are with our girls' positive attitude,' added first-year assistant coach Beth Yoder, McCrone's younger sister.
That's high praise for a Pottstown team that doesn't often get to play more than three or four innings because of the 15-run rule. It's a tribute to the players who have had to adjust to three different coaches the past four seasons, who have had to endure practices and games on as many as four different fields due to renovations at the high school field and the availability at Memorial Park, the Maple Street Field and Novak Field.
'Our attitude is great, but it's been very frustrating,' Ramsey admitted. 'We seem to have a different coach every year or two, and it is hard to adjust to every one of them. We feel some of the coaches gave up on us.'
'There just hasn't been any consistency,' O'Donnell said of the coaching carousel. 'It's tough trying to get used to (each coach's) approach. They're all different.'
* * * What really is different about Pottstown softball is the lack of experience … and basic knowledge of the game.
'I think if you look around at nearly every team we go up against, they have girls who have been playing for a long time,' McCrone said. 'They were part of youth programs, middle school programs. And most of the girls on their teams play travel ball all through the summer now, too.'
The number of Pottstown girls participating in youth programs has diminished drastically in recent years, and there is no Pottstown Middle School softball program.
More shocking is the fact that 12 of the 17 girls on this season's team never played softball before the first day of practice back on March 3.
'We only had four girls back from last year's team,' McCrone explained. 'So we talked to girls in school, asked them what they were doing this spring. We were looking to find athletes.'
Ramsey, O'Donnell, junior Jade Yingling and sophomores Miranda Swinehart and Brianna Gribble were the lone returnees. McCrone and Yoder were able to recruit junior Leanne Strauss and sophomores Terri Chestnut and Kylie Kinckner, who played basketball; and sophomore Aris Cambers, who played field hockey. They were also successful in generating enough interest to fill the remainder of the roster with junior Sherelle Bernard; sophomores Brigette Mundo, Lexi Volinski, Khaliah Kirtz, Bryanna Ramos and Carolina Tamayo-Quintero; and freshmen Autumn Kummerer and Kelly O'Donnell.
'I think the most frustrating thing when I took over as the coach was that the girls didn't have the basic skills,' McCrone explained. 'They didn't know the basics, the fundamentals.
'We're used to seeing girls who have been playing from early on. In our first scrimmage, our first two girls went up to bat and stood on the plate. They just didn't know how to do much of anything. We were teaching them how to throw, how to run, how to catch … it was basically like coaching little league.'
'We spent a lot of time in the gym just talking about the game, how to play the game,' Yoder said. 'We're still doing that.'
* * * McCrone and Yoder aren't the type to complain, but they are the type willing to work harder than most. That was enough to convince O'Donnell's younger sister to come out for the team despite the program's seemingly endless woes.
'I love softball, love the sport,' said the 15-year-old Kelly O'Donnell, who started playing in T-ball and continued in little league softball and baseball. 'But I was thinking of not coming out for the team at first. I'm glad I did come out, though, because I really like it.
'I'm not concerned (about the losses), not as long as everyone works hard. This team likes to play, likes to work hard. We all come out every day to play.'
Her older sister has noticed that, too.
'When we started this year I said, 'Here we go again, just four or five experienced players,'' Megan O'Donnell explained. 'But it's been this way since my first day at Pottstown. It is what it is, but we all try to stay positive.
'All the girls here are always trying, always putting the effort in, and you can't ask for more than that. In the beginning, (losing) really bothered me. But I look at how we have improved, where we are now. All the hard work is paying off.'
Not in the win-loss column, of course.
But the game is much more than that for a lot of the Trojans.
'I love the game of softball, but sometimes it is hard to play here,' said Ramsey, who will attend Alvernia College in the fall. 'But it would be harder not to play. And the attitude here is great.'
'We have had a lot of coaches,' added Megan O'Donnell, who will attend St. Joseph's University in the fall. 'But I think our coaches now have the best philosophy of any of them. They want us to have fun and do our best at all times … and I think we're doing that.'
'There's still some frustration, especially among our seniors,' McCrone said at last week's practice. 'They still work hard and have that great attitude. They just want to win … that's all.'
* * * And then it happened. Saturday afternoon, it all came together for Pottstown. The Trojans scored 15 unanswered runs over the fourth and fifth innings to knock off visiting Wyomissing, 18-8, for their long-sought first win since 2010.
Kelly O'Donnell went 2-for-2 with two doubles, Megan O'Donnell and Volinski each went 2-for-2, Terri Chestnut was 2-for-3 and Miranda Swinehart was 2-for-4 with a double.
'Oh my god, we're just so excited for them, especially the seniors,' McCrone said. 'These girls have heart and awesome attitudes, and we're having fun coaching them. We hit the ball well and made some great catches. The excitement after the game was great.'

European food panel fails to protect EU citizens health from plastic component, BPA
The Health and Environment Alliance (HEAL), WWF, CHEM Trust and Breast Cancer UK are dismayed at today's conclusion from the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) that no stronger protection for public health is needed from the controversial synthetic chemical bisphenol A (BPA)
In June 2010, during the EFSA review process, HEAL and other environment and health groups backed a letter sent to the European food authority by 21 leading scientists (2). It states that: "We believe any objective and comprehensive review of the scientific literature will lead to the conclusion that action is necessary to reduce the levels of BPA exposure, particularly in groups at highest risk, namely young infants and pregnant mothers."
Lisette van Vliet Toxics Policy Advisor, Health and Environment Alliance (HEAL) says We are shocked by today's conclusion. With growing evidence that BPA may play a role in major chronic diseases, such as breast cancer and diabetes, reducing levels of human exposure is a necessary and important step. The exposure of the developing foetus in the womb warrants particular attention because BPA can cross the placenta."
Elizabeth Salter Green Director of CHEM Trust noted With so many studies showing current levels of exposure to BPA may be harming our children, the time for action is long overdue
Some leading environmental and health groups have been calling for bans on BPA for several years. More recently, cancer groups in the UK and France, such as Breast Cancer UK (3) and the French League Against Cancer, have launched campaigns.
Clare Dimmer - Chair of Breast Cancer UK stated we are deeply disappointed at this outcome which assists only those who sell the product and, as breast cancer is already the foremost cancer in Europe, this blatant lack of concern for public health will not help to reduce the incidence of this life-threatening disease.
Bisphenol A is a hormone disruptor that can disrupt estrogen and other hormones. It is used for many consumer products, including polycarbonate babies feeding bottles, and widely found in peoples bodies and the environment.
In the long-awaited EFSA opinion published today, an expert panel stated that they see no need to reduce the tolerable daily intake (TDI). (4) EFSA acknowledges that they cannot rule out BPA related effects of possible relevance such as changes in the brain as these findings cannot be assessed for human health due to shortcomings in the studies. NGOs therefore believe that the precautionary principle should be invoked - given the potential serious and irreversible effects.
Some EU member states, such as Denmark and France, have taken action to reduce peoples exposure to BPA. Austria and Sweden have announced they will also take national measures if the EU does not quickly forbid BPA in baby bottles. (5) In June, the German authorities advised manufacturers, importers and users of bisphenol A (BPA) to use alternative substances that pose less risk to human health and the environment in all areas of use that significantly contribute to exposure. (6)
HEAL and other NGOs are calling for stronger regulatory protection of public health at the EU level, but in the absence of this, support national bans. They are also urging regulation of endocrine disrupting chemicals, such as BPA. (7) They continue to recommend that industry makes products "BPA-free".
Industry must do better than use a hormone disruptor dating from the 1930s which was scrapped due to its inefficiency as a drug and which has now ended up in numerous consumer items instead. BPA-free alternatives are already available on the market. Companies inside and outside the EU are well advised to use them,commented Ninja Reineke from WWF European Policy Office.

Notes to the editor:
1. EFSA updates advice on bisphenol A. 30 September 2010 http://www.efsa.europa.eu/en/press/news/cef100930.htm
In October 2009, EFSA was asked by the European Commission to assess the relevance of a new study on possible neuro-developmental effects of BPA and, if necessary, to update the "Tolerable Daily Intake" set in 2007. In March 2010, the Commission asked EFSA to take into account in its risk assessment any other new scientific evidence that may be available and to liaise closely with EU Member States risk assessment bodies on this issue. EFSA website on BPA: http://www.efsa.europa.eu/en/ceftopics/topic/bisphenol.htm
2. In June 2010, a joint letter to EFSA from scientists and organisations across the globe expressed concerns and concluded that. based on the available scientific studies, reducing levels of human exposure to BPA was necessary. Press release and letter available athttp://www.chemicalshealthmonitor.org/spip.php?article462
3. Breast Cancer UK campaign video and report "No more BPA" available at http://www.nomorebpa.org.uk/
4. The Tolerable Daily Intake is a specific amount in food or drinking water that, according to the current processes of Risk Assessment, can be ingested orally over a lifetime without an appreciable health risk.
5. Regulatory Actions on BPA
Denmark has introduced a national ban on BPA in materials in contact with food for children aged 0-3 years (infant feeding bottles, feeding cups, packaging for baby food).
France has introduced a law that forbids BPA in baby bottles, before which a number of French cities had banned BPA-laden baby bottles in city nurseries and day care centres.
Sweden and Austria have announced it will also take national measures if the EU does not quickly forbid BPA in baby bottles.
Canada has announced it will add BPA to its list of toxic substances, and banned polycarbonate baby bottles that contain bisphenol A on 11th March 2010.
USA EPA has announced it will consider identifying BPA on the Concern List as a substance that may present an unreasonable risk . Numerous cities and states have moved or are considering to ban sales of BPA in baby bottles and sippy cups (Chicago, San Francisco, Wisconsin, Connecticut, Minnesota, Maryland). California has announced that it will add BPA to the states list of chemicals known to cause cancer or birth defects.
6. The German Federal Environmental Agency report and press statement on BPA is available at
7. REACH is the EU chemicals law and stands for Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals. A restriction under REACH can ban on one or more commercial uses or product applications for the EU market, and includes both imports and products domestic to the EU. BPA has been on the NGOs REACH priority list (SIN list, Substitute It Now) since its first launch in 2008. Seewww.sinlist.org <http://www.sinlist.org> . More information on bisphenol A can be found on the SIN Database.
Chemical Health Monitor is an initiative of the Health and Environment Alliance (www.env-health.org <http://www.env-health.org> ). The projects website is in development at www.chemicalshealthmonitor.org <http://www.chemicalshealthmonitor.org>

Organic FoodsSkip to the navigation
Topic Overview
What is organic food?
Food that is labeled "organic" has been grown or raised without synthetic chemical fertilizers, pest killers (pesticides), weed killers (herbicides), hormones, or drugs. Synthetic means that they are made in a lab.
This means that farmers and ranchers who grow organic food:
- Use only natural pest killers, such as plant oils, soap, fungus-eating bacteria, or bugs that eat other bugs.
- Use only natural fertilizers, such as manure or compost.
- Feed their animals only organic food.
- Don't give their animals antibiotics or growth hormones.
- Don't use genetically modified organisms (GMOs). GMOs are plants or animals whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering.
- Don't use irradiation, which means using X-rays or other types of rays to kill pests, change the way plants grow, or keep vegetables and fruits from spoiling as fast.
Some countries, including the United States, have rules that govern when a farmer or rancher may use the organic label. Before a grower can use that label, a government inspector goes to the farm to make sure that the rules are being followed.
Don't assume that food labeled "natural," "sustainable," "hormone-free," or "free-range" is organic. Look for the USDA organic seal .
What do you need to know about organic food?
You may have these questions about organic food:
- Is it safer?Foods with the organic label have less pesticide residue compared with most nonorganic foods. Foods grown with pesticides can have small amounts of pesticide left on the food when it gets to the store. There is not enough evidence to know if the small amount on nonorganic foods can cause harm. footnote 1
- Is it more nutritious? There is not enough evidence to say that organic food is more nutritious than nonorganic food. footnote 1
- Is it better for children? Children may be more sensitive than adults to pesticides and other chemicals because they are still growing. But there is not enough evidence to say that organic food is better for children. footnote 1
How can you reduce exposure to chemicals?
Food grown with pesticides can have small amounts of pesticide left on the food when it gets to the store.
If you are concerned about pesticides on your food, here are some steps you can take: footnote 2
- Wash raw fruits and vegetables under running water before eating them. Use a scrub brush and then rinse the food.
- Peel vegetables such as carrots and fruits such as apples. Peeling will remove pesticides that are on the peel, but also removes fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
- Throw away the outer leaves of head lettuce and cabbage.

Toni Kroos makes his mark in Brazil
In Adaptation, the 2002 film by Spike Jonze, Nicolas Cage's depressed screenwriter is told the secret of a good movie by creative writing instructor Robert McKee (played by Brian Cox). "The last act makes a film. Wow them in the end, and you got a hit . . . Your characters must change, and the change must come from them. Do that, and you'll be fine."
Football articles -- sports articles in general, come to think of it -- often follow the exact same formula. Player A has some problem. It could be a bad injury to overcome. Perhaps he's fallen out with the coach. Or maybe he had a difficult childhood. Nobody believed in him when he started out. He's unhappy at his new club; the food in that city is not very good. He bit someone.
But then someone, or something, made him see the light. He's changed his ways. He's a reformed character, a different man. A different player. A better player. That's why he's winning now. That's why the team is winning now. The end.
We all like to read those pieces; we all like to watch those films. They makes us feel good about ourselves with their uplifting -- but let's face it, not entirely truthful -- message: Only you can control your own destiny. Just change your ways and everything will be great.
There are many articles written about Toni Kroos at the moment in Germany that have broadly followed that narrative. The 24-year-old has been so good in Brazil that he's seen as a legitimate contender for the Golden Ball, an award given to the best player of the tournament. Nobody really expected him to do so well. Why the sudden improvement? What has changed?
But first: his problem. He's too phlegmatic, a guy "with one face for all the gamut of emotions" as Süddeutsche Zeitung put it. Just the other day he was asked about his volley in the 2010 World Cup semifinal against Spain again. It's an old story, but it keeps popping up. It's the Kroos story -- at least it was the story until Brazil.
It was the only chance Germany created during the entire 90 minutes in Durban. Kroos, according to the general view, wasted it. Instead of putting his foot through the ball, the Bayern Munich midfielder tamely side-footed it into Iker Casillas' arms.
Kroos has always maintained that he couldn't hit the ball any other way, but that scene has stuck in the collective memory. Not so much because he could have done better, but because he walked through the mixed zone so indifferently after the game, as if Bayern had eked out a 2-1 win away to SC Freiburg.

- Jones: Looking back at the World Cup
- Hornby: Has the World Cup been that good?
Kroos is a player who never, ever loses his cool, either on or off the pitch. Hold on, that's not exactly true: He showed a bit of petulance, throwing his gloves on the ground when Pep Guardiola substituted him in a Bundesliga game not long after the winter break. Generally speaking, though, he hardly shows any emotion at all. If you only looked at him, you would have no idea what the score was. Kroos plays his own game for 90 minutes, one metronomic pass at a time.
It's fantastic to be this level-headed when things go your way, but when they don't, it can look like apathy. Joachim Low's decision to use him as some kind of man-marker against Andrea Pirlo in the Euro 2012 semifinal backfired spectacularly. Germany fell apart, with Kroos watching. "His critics feel that he's lacking the big moments in his career," wrote Die Zeit at the beginning of the tournament.
Against Brazil in this World Cup semifinal, Kroos had so many big moments that he's almost being seen as a different player -- a bigger player. "Germany has a new world-class player," Der Tagesspiegel wrote.
"It was probably one of my better games," Kroos said, with typical lack of passion. Low has praised the importance of Kroos' impulses in the German midfield. His colleagues have to accommodate him, not vice versa. Mesut Ozil made way, playing a more peripheral role on the flanks. Kroos also takes all free kicks and corners, with devastating effect. Germany have scored five goals from his dead-ball situations at this tournament.
Bayern's decision to let him go -- they didn't bow to his wage demands, arguing that he wasn't quite world-class -- has certainly looked less smart with every passing game. "It's a joke that Mario Götze makes nearly three times as much," Der Tagesspiegel noted.
It's hard to disagree with that assessment. Bayern's cause has not been helped by the fact that Götze and Kroos share the same agent, and Real Madrid have seemingly pulled off a real coup with his signature. (Bayern officials rate the chances of him changing his mind and staying at Allianz Arena at "1 percent," according to papers in Munich.)
So what has changed? Süddeutsche Zeitung wrote that he had become "a hawk" during the Brazil game. They cited the situation where he dispossessed Fernandinho and went on to score the fourth German goal, his second on Tuesday night in Belo Horizonte. What does that mean, exactly? Kroos himself said that "he was more mature and had developed" further after the Portugal game, but there was a much bigger clue in his assessment after the final whistle in the Mineirão. "I'm in good shape, I'm fit," he said. "That's why I can perform this way."
This is bad news for the story arc of all Kroos pieces -- maybe this one as well -- but there's really little doubt: Kroos hasn't actually changed at all. Instead, he's simply become more like himself, more relaxed about his craft and supremely assured about his own talent and ability to do meaningful things with the ball. What used to be lethargic now looks serene; he's a player at peace with himself.
One could easily draw a parallel to the zen-like aura of Pirlo or Zinedine Zidane at this point, but let's not. Kroos and his German team, a group of incredibly focused young men who resolutely refuse to be impressed with themselves, would want us to wait until after the final for that.

Reading between the lines: The Census Project is in bed with the Annie E. Casey FoundationFriday, April 24th, 2009
Last night, The Wall Street Journal published a blog post by June Kronholz about the likelihood of being counted in the 2010 Census. As the non-partisan watchdog of the 2010 Census, MyTwoCensus must point out that this article is written from a very partisan perspective. Kronholz's only source of data was information collected by the Annie E. Casey Foundation and released by The Census Project. Kronholz writes, "The [census counting] estimates were developed by the Annie E. Casey Foundation, using Census Bureau planning databases, and released by the Census Project whose members include policy planners, demographers and citizen-rights advocates."
If you look at The Census Project's stakeholder list, it's clear that all of the stakeholders are liberal advocacy groups, and more importantly, one of the "stakeholders" (which translates to meaning an organization that funds The Census Project) is The Annie E. Casey Foundation, the very organization responsible for providing this data…So here's our advice when reading articles, even from reputable news sources:
1. Read between the lines.
2. Take any information from "The Census Project" with a large grain of salt, as it's coming from many partisan sources including ACORN, the NAACP, the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, and other immigrant advocacy groups.

Rise Of A Warrior Princess – The Ashley Young Story [VIDEO]
Nearly three years ago, Ashley Young danced on the brink of death. Today, though, she looks more like a warrior princess than a broken accident victim and she's facing her future with determination and hope.
On March 3, 2011, 22-year-old Ashley was driving with her friend, Levi Simmons, 30, on Coca Cola Lake Road in Genoa. "An 84-year-old retired pastor came around the curve directly in her lane, traveling in her lane between 65 and 70 [miles per hour] head on," said Dianne Young, Ashley's mother.
The cars collided, killing Levi and the other motorist, Bobby N. Manley, according to the Arkansas State Police report.
Following the accident, Ashley was taken to the LSU Trauma Center in Shreveport, wrote the Magnolia Reporter. Ashley was in a coma for 22 days, was completely paralyzed on her right side and suffered numerous other injuries, including a broken ankle, heel, leg, arm, kneecap, tendons and pelvis.
To top it all off, she also had a traumatic brain injury that still makes it difficult to remember things. Doctors told her mother that if Ashley did survive, she would likely need to be placed in a nursing home to receive round-the-clock care. Five weeks later, however, Ashley was moved to St. Michael's rehabilitation facility in Texarkana.
Even though family and friends visited frequently, Ashley still doesn't remember much about who came to visit or how often. "She has the memory loss," Dianne said. "Some things she can remember better than you and I, but then other things she doesn't remember at all."
The rehabilitation process was painful and arduous. Once she was finally able to get out of bed, Ashley had to walk with a walker for many months. A year after her accident, she returned to the hospital to have her foot operated on again because the screws and plates that had originally been used to repair the damage had given way. This time bone was taken out of her right knee and put into her foot. Both Ashley and Dianne pray that the surgery holds. A little over a year ago, Ashley finally transitioned to walking with a four-pronged cane.
Despite the improvement in her physical mobility, Ashley still struggled with depression and more often than not, her mother could find her laying on her bed with her computer and watching television.
Then Ashley came across a page on Facebook for Texarkana Self Defense. "I've wanted to take self defense," she said, "Because a guy that would come up behind me would expect I would be an easy steal with me being crippled and walking with my cane, so I wanted some way to surprise him."
Ashley also admitted that prior to her accident, she'd had a boyfriend who was very abusive and had sent her to the hospital at least six times. "I never want to be victimized again," she said.
After chatting with Jeff Easterling, who teaches Krav Maga in the self defense course, she decided to try and take the class. "Surprisingly, I can do a lot more than I thought," Ashley said.
Ashley's mind and body continue to grow stronger with each class. "Her reactions and everything are so much more alert now," Dianne said.
"I am doing more with both hands," Ashley said. She is able to vacuum and dust the apartment she shares with her mother, do laundry and walk to the mailbox at the front of their complex, all things that she had never been able to accomplish prior to taking her self defense classes. Krav Maga has bolstered her self confidence and helped alleviate her depression.
Now, as seen in the video above, she throws herself into the classes, jabbing, kicking and hitting like she is ready to do battle and take on the world, even if it means using her cane as a weapon.
"She's pretty much learned to stop saying, 'I can't,'" Dianne said. "She can if she tries."
What will the future bring? "I want to be a cosmetologist," Ashley said. "I was three or four years old and I told my sister who is a cosmetologist that I wanted to be a hair stylist when I got older."
"I also want to go to business school after I get my cosmetology license. Eventually I will have my own business and I want to have my own salon," Ashley said. "I'm very determined, more so now than before my car wreck."

A fall in the numbers of passengers using East Midlands Airport has been put down to a leading carrier's decision to leave the site.
4.5 million people travelled through the airport in the 12 months until March 31 – 2.2 percent down on the 4.6 million in the previous year.
The owners said that Monarch Airlines' decision to stop using the Leicestershire airport in April last year had hit numbers, but that the business was still 'ahead of expectations'.
They also said that, despite Brexit, the airport remained in a 'strong position'.

The next day, when checking my cells (which we grow in spinner flasks with a loose cap) I noticed 2 things: 1. when coloring the cells with trypan blue some of the preps had web-like structures clumping cells and there was a lot of junk around. I emphasise "some" because other times when doing a trypan blue coloration on the same line, the same day, these wouldn't appear. 2. even without coloration I started noticing long filaments. Not many (5-6 for both chambers of the haemocytometer).
I've attached pictures for both cases.
We then decided to bin everything just in case (cells, media, trypan) and restarted a new cell line. However I see the same thing now as before (occasional, isolated filaments). A professor in our lab suggested that they might be cellulose filaments resulting from wiping the haemocytometer with white tissue paper, but I am skeptical. Now I don't know if it's paranoia and if these things were always there (you know how when routine sets in, you tend to blank certain recurring things) or if it's indeed contamination, so I need your suggestions.
Other, maybe relevant, observations:
> The presence of these things doesn't seem to influence cell viability, just cell growth. Cell growth has slowed down considerably and they hover around 1x106 for long periods (days).
> When using trypan blue the filaments stain. I've read about fungi and it seems that for most species the outer wall is permeable to trypan blue.
> The number of filaments doesn't seem to increase at a high rate, if at all. Nothing else indicates contamination (culture smells as usual, nothing visible floating around, even after 5-6 days).
> I'm using pen-strep, but not fungizone.
> When looking at trypan blue alone, I could see a lot of junk and debris, probably because it's not filtered, so it is possible that the web-like thing around the cells could be due to filthy trypan (we're in the process of recieving new dye soon, which we will filter). Also when looking at just the surface of the haemocytometer after ethanol-wiping it, I can sometimes see 1-2 filaments so the cellulose from tissue theory might be correct.
Are you guys seeing any of this? And if not, does it look like fungus? Thank you for your help.

.303 ammo price jump: due to fear, or scalpers?
In other words, is the recent price jump for Prvi .303 ("Ammoseek" prices) due to people buying large batches from distributors in order to sell for a profit, or is it just panic because the ammo is an imported military round, or general anxiety?
Even though the Lee-Enfield has a detachable 10-rd. mag, there seems to be no race to buy the rifles on GB.

I believe it is often paraphrased as "supply and demand", but is usually more complicated than that. But I have confidence in the ability of our economy to restore prices pretty quickly. I remember about 8 years ago, people were paying stupid prices for primers, now they are back to normal (or were, I haven't checked this month). So, you get while the getting is good.

bolt action rifles are exempt from the AWB so they can be as scary as you want witha 5 foot bayonet and nobody is going to sniff at it. the buying frenzy is actually probably due to an increase in use among those that already own enfields. case in point.
I own 2 AR15s, one in 5.56 the other in 9mm, I have meager amounts of both cartridges and a semi will burn through those in a hurry if you are not careful.
on the other hand I have an enfield in 303, and a pair of mosin nagant's in 7.62x54R and a life time supply of ammo for both cartridges...which one do you think is looking more favorable to take out plinking when I know that there isn't a single store, local or online that has 5.56 and 9mm in stock? of course I got lucky with my stockpiles, 1600 rounds of HXP 303 and an additional 800 in high quality hunting ammo that I got for essentially the price of x54R not everyone else is going to get so lucky and so they are still buying to feed the bolts and since retailers are in pandemic craze mode any increase in demand means an excuse to bring up prices, especially since everyone is scurrying for the 'scary assault rifle' calibers and few are paying attention to obsolete bolt action calibers so they may not be trying to keep 303 in stock as much.

What's the price on Privi 303 ammo these days? I bought a few boxes of Privi 303 ammo, a couple of months ago, for about $18 + tax.
There is a definite lack of surplus 303 ammo, here in the U.S. The C&R {military rifle} matches, must have brought a higher demand for 303 ammo.
After I bought a fake sniper 303 "SMELLY" about 4 months ago...seemed to bring a rush for other guys on our range to buy SMELLY's as well.

I just bought a box of Privi softpoints for around $17 and the shop had another 8-10 boxes. This was on Friday and they said the shipment came in a day or two before.

I think too that it's a lack of any more good surplus (like Greek HXP). Thank God that Privi makes it.. At $0.90/round, it ain't cheap ... but you have to consider what's happened to the value of our dollar over the last couple of years. If not for that, we still might be looking at $0.45/round.
Just be happy you can find anything. Consider the last production dates for military caliber ammo that we all love to shoot (6.5 X 50R, 6.5 X 52, 6.5 X 54, 6.5 X 55, 7 X 57, 7.5 X 54, 7.5 X 55, 8 X 56R, 8 X 57) That we can still shoot WWI and WWII rifles with factory ammo is great for those of you who don't reload.
Just remember this ... your fired boxer brass has value, even if you don't reload. I figure a piece of fired, boxer brass at least the equivalent of $0.20. If you don't reload, bag your fired brass in 50 round bags and bring them to the range when you shoot. If you see a guy/girl shooting any military rifle ... ask them if they're interested in fired boxer brass for whatever you think is a fair per bag of 50. You may be more than pleasantly surprised! FREE MONEY!

AIM Surplus lists .303 Prvi FMJ for $13.95 at box. In-Stock at the moment...

The notion that people would shoot more Enfields due to little or no access to decent prices for .223 never occured to me.
The only reason I learned to reload, two years ago, was because of vanished surplus ammo.
Do you guys forecast any price reduction for Prvi .303 after the AR/.223 bubble starts to really deflate, long after hunting season etc?

I doubt it, as pointed out by other members the dollar is not what it used to be and probably wont turn around any time soon. also people get used to selling high and they don't like dropping prices, which is why after scares and gouging periods prices drop but never where they were before the increases. what little surplus there is is drying up so the supply is still diminishing while demand is not waning.

303 Brit is one of the few cartridges I see on the shelves. Price has not changed. Keep in mind, this is not a popular or big selling cartridge in the USA. Thus, US ammo manufacturers run batches of it at certain times of the year only. The exception would be the imports IE; SBP & PPU. If I was a betting person, I would bet overseas ammo makers are making plenty of 223 ammo and it is heading our way.

AIM's price is not bad from re-loadable Prvi. I don't pay it because I reload my Prvi brass.

I do not want to hijack the thread, but you might want to look at the bill Fienstien is proposing. It says that any gun with a bayonet lug is a "Military Style Assault Weapon" and there fore does fall under her proposed ban.
As for 303 ammo. I have been looking for some myself for quite some time. I have found some on store shelves for $40 a box. Everytime I check online they are always sold out.

I am lucky on 303. One of the ranges I go to has 15rnd (think its surplus) for $9 a box. I will probably go grab a few this afternoon before its gone.

The weather just turned here in, recently not so sunny California, and I am taking advantage to the full effect. How you may ask? Well to start off with I'm sitting inside and enjoying my light drenched living room and indoor foliage.
I recently got this beautiful plant and potted it. I'm so excited to bring some more greenery inside, every time I look at it I feel a little bit of serenity wash over me. I do have to say that my biggest upset with getting a new plant is what to pot it in. I find that ceramic pots are too expensive, and typically not the most aesthetically pleasing. I lucked out and found the above pot at Home Depot for $12 and some change. All I had to do was give it a quick glitz with some gold spray paint and voila, a pot that I seriously enjoy.
Another thing I did, while I was not outside taking advantage of the weather, was finish up wedding invitations. Every invite, insert, rsvp, and envelope had a water color brush to it. Since it's going to be a small party it wasn't too large of a task, and I really enjoyed it. Apparently, you give me a creative project with a lot of organized repetitive movements and I'm happy.

Every football fan thinks the referee has it in for their team, but statistically, which of the men in black has proved most likely to reach for his pocket during a match this season?
Craig Thomson, whose statistics include games in the Scottish Premiership, the Champions League and Euro qualifiers, produced the highest number of cards per game, averaging five per appearance. So far this season, he has produced 57 yellow and three red cards.
Nick Walsh comes in second, having averaged 4.6 cards per game. Walsh has produced more red cards than any other referee this season, sending off six players during his ten games in charge – more than one every second match.
Statistically least likely to reach for his black book this season is Don Robertson, who has issued 19 yellow and two red cards across ten matches, an average of 2.1 cards per game.

Online Law Schools / Re: Who here passed the mini bar or real bar and is from a non ABA school?« on: August 04, 2008, 10:16:24 AM »
... Also remember that the quality of the student, in general, is not as likely to be the "type A" wiz, the one who nearly aces everything as an undergrad in order to attend the best law school. ...
I think you are making a mistake on that point. The online schools differ from the regional, state, and non-ABA brick and mortar schools. If you have a student at a brick and mortar school that is only state accredited, they likely did not have the academic skill to get into a better school. In the case of the online/corr. schools though, you add another class of student, the ones who just don't have the time to leave their current profession and go to a physical law school. As an example, when I went to CA to take the Baby Bar, I was talking with some other students. One was a heart surgeon at the Mayo Clinic, one was a CPA and investigator for the IRS, one was in federal law enforcement, and I have a MS in Software Development. None of us were failures as students, we just had families, and couldn't drop everything for law school. I suspect that the higher rate of Bar passage for correspondence/online schools is due to this group.

Why a spy-free internet should be a human right
Why a spy-free internet should be a human right
by Clare Curran
On 10 June 2013 Labour made the first public statement of concern just days after news broke that the equivalent of the GCSB had been routinely monitoring US citizens' phone calls, texts and social media activity. Our voice was joined by hundreds of thousands of Kiwis as the National Government, abetted by Peter Dunne, pushed two pieces of law through Parliament to provide the GCSB with wide ranging invasive powers which extend into all of our technology companies and reduce their ability to innovate without asking for permission first.
We New Zealanders place a very high value on our open democracy. But without privacy, there can be no democracy. How can you even consider dissent when the state is listening to everything you say? Of course security also is necessary for democracy, but there needs to be a balance between them. The recent revelations about surveillance show this balance has been ignored.
John Key has told us that security is more important than anything, but he didn't say why. Through Snowden, we now know about the mind-boggling reach of state surveillance into citizens' homes. New Zealand's link through the five eyes network raises questions about our role in the US-led global surveillance network and the impact of that surveillance on the relationship between the New Zealand state and its own citizens. It is frightening that this has been done in the name of security by the free world.
Half of New Zealand's population has a Facebook account. Three quarters of households have an Internet connection and 60% of us have smartphones. We are becoming completely reliant on the Internet and the technologies that make it work. Our financial systems rely on data storage and secure electronic transactions; our personal data is stored and manipulated by companies and government, yet we now find that the information security we depend on for the security of our data and our economy as been deliberately undermined to make surveillance easier.
Labour says that access to the Internet should be a right just like the right to free expression. This is more than rhetoric. Any prospective government in 2014 should make this policy, and must make the internet off-limits to government interference.
Our current Bill of Rights Act dates back to 1990 when almost no-one had heard of the Internet, let alone used it. How things have changed! Labour has proposed a Digital (or Internet) Bill of Rights setting out what we can all do online. The Greens also have proposed declaratory piece of legislation along the same lines. The Internet Party has proposed reforming the Privacy Act, reviewing surveillance laws and strengthening human rights protection and Internet freedom. All these approaches have merit and we want to see a discussion among New Zealand's excellent legal, tech and human rights-focused community. It is essential that we protect citizens' privacy, encourage innovation and keep New Zealand a progressive country with a responsible approach to its own national security. We should take care to get it right, but we should not take too long.
These things will have a profound impact on society, and position us as a pioneer or as a laggard in the digital world. A Labour-led government will drive and implement a digital rights framework. We will do this alongside an inquiry into our surveillance agencies, in particular the GCSB, and we will recast our security laws. We say that our citizens should not be exposed to blanket mass surveillance.
The National Party and the right are disinterested, perhaps deliberately because this discussion leads to uncomfortable questions about surveillance and privacy. But the parties on the left have the public's ears and their hearts.
New Zealand has always been a forward-looking nation. Recognising Internet access as a fundamental human right and enshrining it as part of our civil society is our next progressive step. As Sir Tim Berners Lee, creator of the world wide web, recently said, "unless we have an open, neutral internet…we can't have open government, good democracy, good healthcare, connected communities and diversity of culture." If we don't act to avoid the digital divide becoming entrenched we risk lack of digital access resulting in second-class digital citizenship.
New Zealand would certainly not be alone in enacting such a bill or declaration. Brazil as already adopted one. There is a bipartisan movement in the US Congress to do so. The movement is becoming global, and New Zealand must be part of it. Labour envisages a dynamic public interaction with the progression of rights-friendly digital legislation.
By forging a rights-friendly approach to the Internet and data issues, New Zealand will establish its reputation as a digital hub for innovation. More tech companies will be attracted here and more start-ups that need digital connectivity will be able engage effectively with the rest of the world. New Zealand's emerging digital economy relies on its reputation as a trustworthy place to do business and to promote innovation. Secretive surveillance laws and uncertain rights around the Internet are a threat to this. Labour is committed to match security laws with strong privacy protections and to protect our civil liberties.
Across the globe people are demanding the right to access the internet, the right to privacy, free speech and to a neutral internet. Without these there can be no open government, no good democracy, no connected communities and no diversity of culture. Just as the Internet transcends national boundaries, a Labour-led government will work with other countries to agree a common set of principles and rights on the Internet. We challenge the other parties in New Zealand to agree to do likewise. We embrace the multi-stakeholder approach of our very own Internet NGO, InternetNZ, which was worked to ensure a framework that keeps governments and corporates at arms length from controlling the Internet.
An international standard, which articulates not so much the values of Western democracy, but the values and importance that underlie an open internet. Is not this truly new and ground-breaking evolutionary thinking and does it not show how the internet is transforming the world away from traditional notions of governance?
Let us recast ourselves as the pioneers of digital thinking and not remain laggards. Our small country has leapt before into unchartered waters based on our shared beliefs in what is right. We can do it again.

The Enchanted Forest Luxury Scented Candle in travel size (100mg) with screw top lid.
Evoking ancient woodland, dappled sunlight, wild fauna and the rich scent of oak filling the air.
Aromas of cedarwood, smoked oak, birch and moss.
Glass container: 60mm diameter x 63mm high
100g Vegetable and soy wax scented candle
20 - 30 Hours burn time
We believe fragrance should be sophisticated, memorable and multi layered. It should be a joy to smell, and fill the room with elegant notes that are designed to transport you to a forgotten past, a cherished memory, on an adventure you are yet to take.
Our passion in this belief led us to working for many months with a fragrance house to ensure that each one of our scents had the characteristics, uniqueness and depth that we demanded and are proud of the results.
We work with an excellent and diligent team who hand pour the candles in small batches using only the finest quality eco soy and vegetable wax infused with a blend of premium fragrances and lead free wicks.
Each candle is presented in an illustrated (by us), gold foiled box, all proudly made in Britain.
It's a burning (sorry) issue among candle makers - Paraffin (otherwise known as mineral Wax) or Soy.
We use soy, and this is why:-
Soy Wax is Natural, derived from 100% renewable soybeans while paraffin is a crude-oil by-product
Soy Wax is 100% biodegradable while paraffin wax is not
Soy Wax candles burn cooler and slower than paraffin candles, which means they typically last 30-50% longer than a paraffin candle
Soy Wax releases fragrance easier than paraffin candles to give a richer fragrance throw and 'Pot Pourri' effect when not lit
Soy Wax is cleaner burning with no toxins, carcinogens or pollutants which means it's less likely to trigger allergies

In the Local Authors Collection of the Sandusky Library Archives Research Center are two books about birds by Alice E. Ball.
Alice E. Ball was an 1886 graduate of Sandusky High School. She was the daughter of Flamen Ball and Katharine Follett Ball, and a granddaughter of Oran and Eliza Follett. A Year with the Birds was published in 1916 by Gibbs and Van Vleck in New York City. Artist Robert Bruce Horsfall illustrated the book with 56 colored plates. Several species of birds were pictured, accompanied by poems. Alice E. Ball composed many of the poems, but some were by other poets.
On pages 60 and 61 is a poem by Alice E. Ball entitled "Robin Redbreast." She described how she and her siblings left food for a family of robins outside the window pane. The same robin family came back every spring for four years, much to the Ball family's joy. In 1923 Alice E. Ball wrote another book about birds, also illustrated by Robert Bruce Horsfall.
This book was an introduction to over one hundred common birds of the eastern United States. Pictured below is a brief description of the song sparrow, accompanied with a color plate by Mr. Horsfall.
Alice E. Ball taught school for a year in Sandusky, and then she moved to Cleveland, Ohio, where she taught for twenty nine years in public and private schools. She died in New York City on April 24, 1948. Funeral services were held at the Riverdale Presbyterian Church in Riverdale, New York, and burial was at Cleveland's Lake View Cemetery.
Miss Ball compiled a family history entitled Sketches of the Ball and Follett Families, which was privately published by the Vermont Printing Company in 1939. A copy of this title is found in the Family History section of genealogical books at the Sandusky Library. Touching tributes to both Oran and Eliza Follett are found in the book, helping readers learn personal details about these prominent early residents of Sandusky, Ohio. Alice had fond memories of spending time in Sandusky with her maternal grandparents.

WASHINGTON - Congress may have finally found an immigration issue it can agree on in an election year: letting in more Irish people.
At a time when the volatile issue of comprehensive immigration reform is hopelessly stalled in a divided Congress, senators of both parties are rallying behind legislation that would allow 10,500 Irish nationals to come to the U.S. to work each year.
The legislation by Sen. Scott Brown, R-Mass., has been attacked by critics as a cynical ploy to win Irish-American votes as Brown battles for re-election in a state where one in four residents is of Irish descent. It also has been decried by both pro-immigration and anti-immigration groups as an example of favoritism toward European immigrants over Hispanics and Asians.
But supporters of the bill, including Democratic Sen. Charles Schumer of New York, say they are trying to help reverse discrimination against Irish nationals that was inadvertently created by a 1965 overhaul of the U.S. immigration system.
That overhaul, designed to end a bias against immigrants from Latin America, Asia and Africa, made it difficult for Irish immigrants to obtain visas despite their strong cultural ties to the U.S., say supporters of Brown's bill. Hispanics and Asians have been the dominant immigrant groups to the U.S. since 1965 and, as they become citizens, their close family members have been given priority for U.S. visas as part of the U.S. government's emphasis on family reunification.
About 40 million Americans identify themselves as being of Irish descent, or about 13 percent of the U.S. population of more than 313 million. Hispanics make up about 16 percent of U.S. residents. The number of Irish immigrants granted permanent legal status in the U.S. has plunged from nearly 38,000 in the 1960s to about 16,000 in the 10 years from 2000 through 2009.
Frank Sharry, founder and executive director of the immigrant-rights group America's Voice, has no quarrel with the Irish visa bill but resents Brown's opposition to measures that would benefit Latinos and other immigrant groups.
Brown opposes any measure that would provide a pathway to citizenship for the nearly 11 million illegal immigrants already in the United States.
The senator also has opposed the Dream Act, which would allow undocumented children to gain legal status if they enrolled in college or served in the U.S. military.
"The (Irish) bill is actually a modest and sensible measure, and the Irish-American community has fought very hard for immigration reform that would benefit everyone," Sharry said. "We consider them close friends. But I think what Scott Brown is doing smacks of shameless opportunism. He's pandering to the Irish to say, 'I'm your candidate,' and he's pandering to the 'tea party' by showing that he'll fight for white immigrants but not brown ones."
Brown's spokesman says the senator cares about all immigrants and supports a bipartisan House-passed bill that would primarily benefit non-European immigrants facing long waits to come to the U.S. to work in high-skilled jobs or reunite with family members who are U.S. citizens.
That bill, sponsored by Republican Reps. Lamar Smith of Texas and Jason Chaffetz of Utah, would tweak the U.S. visa system to allow more highly skilled immigrants from India and China to become legal permanent residents. The legislation would eliminate caps on the number of employment-based visas that are available annually to each country. The bill also would more than double the family-reunification visas available for Mexicans and Filipinos, the two groups facing the longest backlogs for that type of visa.
Generally, a foreign citizen who wants to apply for an immigrant visa to the United States must be sponsored by a prospective employer or by a relative who is a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident of the United States.
"For decades, the Irish have been unfairly shut out by our immigration laws while immigration from many other countries has sharply increased," said Brown's spokesman, John Donnelly. "Senator Brown remains engaged in serious, bipartisan talks about the Irish (visa) legislation as well as a broader, House-passed legal-immigration bill that affects a wide range of other countries."
Brown's bill would make Irish nationals eligible for a special visa program created in 2005 to allow up to 10,500 high-skilled Australians to come to the United States on temporary work visas known as E-3 visas. The program grew out of a trade pact with Australia, but it was also seen as a reward for a country that supported U.S. military action in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The program allows skilled workers with job offers from U.S. employers to get a two-year work visa that can be renewed indefinitely.
Workers with an E-3 visa can bring their spouses and children with them. Their spouses also can work legally in the United States.
While the broader visa-reform bill has stalled in the Senate, Brown's bill appears poised to move forward. After initially opposing the legislation for favoring just one country, Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, the senior Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, has decided to stop blocking it, provided that Brown makes a few changes in the bill. Those changes are being negotiated among Brown, Grassley and Schumer, who chairs the immigration subcommittee.
Roy Beck, executive director of NumbersUSA, which wants to reduce immigration, said Brown's bill will end up hurting American workers of all races and ethnic backgrounds.
"Why would you want to bring in 10,500 more foreign workers at a time when we've got 20 million Americans who either can't find jobs or are forced to take part-time jobs when they want to work full-time," Beck said. "Brown's bill is about pandering. It's a form of pork-barreling. Once one special interest gets their pork, the others will all be lined up. In the meantime, Americans of every ethnicity are looking for a job."
The fact that Brown's bill has a good chance of passing shows that the clout of more established immigrant groups remains stronger than the fast-growing Hispanic community, said David North of the Center for Immigration Studies. The center favors reduced immigration and opposes Brown's bill.
"Political power typically comes long after the population numbers suggest that you should have clout," North said. "The Irish are still coasting on their political power from 50 years ago. The Hispanics haven't reached that yet, but they will."
It also shows that Congress is grasping at smaller, piecemeal bills because it has given up on trying to tackle the much bigger and politically explosive issue of what to do about the nation's 11 million illegal immigrants, said Mary Giovagnoli, director of the Immigration Policy Center, an immigrant-rights group.
"Congress is still not addressing the fundamental issues," she said. "It's pretty sad."
Still, the fact that Congress is willing to look at increasing the number of immigrants who can come here legally -- either through Brown's Irish bill or the broader House bill -- shows that lawmakers still see the value of immigration, one think-tank analyst said.
"Even during the biggest recession since the Great Depression, no one in Congress is seriously disputing our continued commitment to legal immigration," said Muzaffar Chishti of the non-partisan Migration Policy Institute, which analyzes immigration trends. "We still see ourselves as a nation of immigrants. We haven't turned away from that ideal."

BastilleChooser - harden a host using predefined profiles
This manual page briefly documents BastilleChooser . This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. BastilleChooser offers a GTK+ GUI to let administrators choose between different security profiles and implement them without going through the questions of InteractiveBastille. BastilleChooser asks for the type of host (workstation or server), a security level (lax, moderate or paranoid), and services to leave enabled on the host. Using the selected profile, a new configuration is built and installed on the system. Note, however, that even if servers and workstations have very different security levels, general security levels are not as good as security levels adapted to your own security policy.
