HOUSTON – The same snack- and soda-makers that often are blamed for fueling the nation's obesity rates also play a role in educating the dietitians who advise Americans on healthy eating.
Frito-Lay, Kellogg, Coca-Cola and others are essentially teaching the teachers. Their workshops and online classes for the nation's dietitians are part of a behind-the-scenes effort to burnish the images of their snacks and drinks.
The practice has raised ethical concerns among some who say it gives the food industry too much influence over dietitians, who take the classes to earn the education credits they need to maintain their licenses.
It's not education. It's PR, said Andy Bellatti, a dietitian in Las Vegas who helped found Dietitians for Professional Integrity, a group of about a dozen dietitians who are calling for an end to the practice.
Critics say companies use the classes, which are usually free and more convenient than other courses dietitians can take, as a way to cast their products in a positive nutritional light.
Food and beverage companies, meanwhile, say their classes are intended to inject perspective into the public debate over nutrition.
Corporate educators
Of course, the matter of corporate influence isn't limited to dietitians. In 1997, the Food and Drug Administration issued guidance intended to address concerns regarding the role of drugmakers in continuing medical education for doctors.
The guidance drew distinctions between ads and education, essentially stating that drug companies shouldn't influence the latter.
Those barriers don't exist between food companies and dietitians. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, a professional group that's based in Chicago and has more than 75,000 members, governs the path to becoming a registered dietitian and oversees the accreditation for continuing education providers.
Glenna McCollum, president of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, said dietitians are trained to question any findings that might not seem sound.
Some of the information provided may need to be challenged, she said. That's part of the job.
For registered dietitians, continuing education is a requirement, not an option. After earning a bachelor's degree in nutrition, completing an internship program and taking an exam, they must earn 75 credits of continuing education every five years. An hour-long class typically translates to one credit.
A variety of organizations provide continuing education, including universities and professional groups. But the classes can be costly. Meanwhile, the classes offered by food companies are usually online and free.
New scrutiny
Teaching dietitians isn't a new practice in the food industry. General Mills, which makes Cheerios, Lucky Charms, Yoplait yogurt, Pillsbury dough and Progresso soup, has been an education provider through its Bell Institute of Health and Nutrition for at least 15 years.
But the practice came under scrutiny after a report by public health lawyer and vocal food industry critic Michele Simon last year detailed the industry's deep ties to the field. Shortly afterward, a small group formed Dietitians for Professional Integrity to call for changes.
A petition by the group on the subject got more than 25,000 supporters on Change.org; the academy provided an audit to the AP that said only 600 of those signatures were by its members.
Fueling business
Companies say their classes provide nutrition information to dietitians.
Coca-Cola, which makes drinks such as Dasani water and Minute Maid juice, offers about a dozen seminars each year through its Beverage Institute for Health and Wellness. On average, the live, hour-long classes get more than 5,000 participants, said Coke, which plans to increase the number of webinars it offers each year.
Ben Sheidler, a spokesman for Coca-Cola, said the company's course materials are based on independent, third-party research. He said Coca-Cola is acting responsibly by working to provide professionals with the facts surrounding its products.
Coca-Cola also said its surveys show the vast majority of participants in its classes find them helpful and free of commercial bias.
But some say companies would never present information that doesn't serve their interests.
Elizabeth Lee, a registered dietitian in Los Angeles and one of the founders of Dietitians for Professional Integrity, noted that the classes typically have a message that supports the company's products.
It's getting harder and harder to really find something that isn't total baloney, said Debra Riedesel, another registered dietitian based in Des Moines, Iowa.
Part of what makes the issue so thorny is the deluge of research on nutrition, which is rarely definitive.
Spreading Influence
For companies, the classes can be a chance to spotlight new products. At culinary demonstrations at the conference in Houston, for example, Kellogg and PepsiCo showcased recipes incorporating their products.
And the educational outreach to dietitians doesn't end in the classroom. Frito-Lay, which is owned by PepsiCo Inc., said more than a thousand dietitians are signed up to receive SnackSense, a newsletter from its online resource for health professionals. A recent issue highlighted the moderate sodium levels of a new line of Tostitos and offered recipes using the chips.
PepsiCo recently established the Quaker Center for Excellence to research and promote the benefits of oats. Candace Mueller Medina, a spokeswoman for the company's Quaker division, which makes a variety of products including oatmeal packets, bars and breakfast cookies, said the center's first goal is to educate key opinion-makers and influencers.

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - Republican candidate Hunt Downer says he won't end his bid for the GOP nomination in the southeastern Louisiana-based 3rd Congressional District, despite suggestions he
should drop out.
Downer, a former Louisiana House speaker, fell far behind opponent Jeff Landry in last week's Republican primary. Landry barely missed an outright victory with just under 50 percent of the vote. Downer had 36 percent. A third candidate, Kristian Magar,
placed a distant third, but forced the Oct. 2 runoff between Downer and Landry.
Magar has refused to endorse a candidate, a blow to Downer, who had hoped to get Magar's support and bolster his tea party credentials.
Meanwhile, the Tea Party of Louisiana, one of several tea party groups in the district, urged Downer to exit the race so Landry can focus on the Democratic nominee, rather than a Republican runoff.

British spooks seize tech from Snowden journo's boyfriend at airport
The Brazilian partner of Guardian journalist Glenn Greenwald – Edward Snowden's go-to reporter for the dissemination of sensitive papers about the NSA's dragnet surveillance programmes – has been released from custody. The 28-year-old was held for almost nine hours for questioning by Metropolitan Police officers when he passed …
He was lucky :-(
He got off a lot easier than the last Brazilian they went after!
Re: He was lucky :-(
The legislation used against him was allowed to be passed by the voters. The abuses of that law are also now being ignored by the majority. Half the voters don't even show up in an election. What does that say about the process.
The voter is the boss, not civil servants. If you don't like it, fight against that law and all the other ones invading your privacy on a minute to minute basis. Terror, security, and fear are being exploited by governments who want to keep you in line, rather than you keeping THEM in line. Don't blame the government. Blame your own lackadaisical attitude in letting others decide your fate.
If nothing is done, then don't say a thing when you or someone you care about is held without charge and has their electronics seized on suspicion.
Re: He was lucky :-(
The Act used is from 2000 (Labour). The use of the Act was yesterday (Con/Lib). So who, for crying out loud, are you proposing I should vote for? Plaid Cymru?
Re: He was lucky :-(
I don't know. What's the place coming to? All these Brazilians coming over here with their strange expectations of life and liberty, taking all our lead and trying to use our airports. They don't seem to have any idea how to live in a police state. The Stasi will fix them, that's what I say.
Re: He was lucky :-(
I'm pretty sure the only voters involved with the passing of the act were politicians.
I doubt it went to a referendum.
Re: He was lucky :-(
Sorry, I'll assume the downvote is from a Plaid Cymru MP. Hywel, is that you?
Re: The legislation used against him was allowed to be passed by the voters.
There was no vote by the general public. There was no vote on war in Iraq. Bliar brought that in, and embarked on his illegal war in Iraq. Vote by public is not part of the process. Sheeple will vote for anything at a general election
Re: He was lucky :-(
Certainly was lucky. If they'd managed to find the tiniest excuse to arrest him - something encrypted, a whiff of a "result" on some dubious chemical contact test, or whatever, they'd have had a full month to piss him about. I wonder if they swabbed him. Thank God Neo Labour got the 2006 terrorism act through to protect us.
Should have been a quarter of a year mind.
Re: He was lucky :-(
"Allowed to be passed by the voters"
This isn't Switzerland (AFAIK the only true democracy in Europe). Do you actually have a clue what a representative democracy is? Every 4 years there's a popularity contest that one team wins (for varying values of 'win', as we've lately seen) then you cross your fingers and hope that the contest winners won't do anything stupid in the next 4 years, which they invariably will do. There's a variety of systems in place to stop the proles from interrupting things in the period between popularity contests, these have both positive effects (political stability) and negative ones (the winners can do virtually anything they want as long as it takes less than 4 years) so we're stuck. Then there's all the stuff that's being driven by the civil service, people that few proles know the existence of and even fewer voted for. When politicos start talking about the voters having any sort of influence it's either 'cos we're in the run up to another popularity contest or they're trying to deflect blame from themselves by making you feel guilty for somet' you had no choice about.
On a side note, did you vote for us to invade Iraq? No, 'cos nobody asked you to. Somewhere between 100,000 and 1,000,000 proles demonstrated their opinion on that and it made not a blind bit of difference. That's the anti-interruption systems kicking in. The IRA had more power in the UK than the voters do now :(
Re: who I should vote for? Plaid Cymru?
The only party with consistent strong opposition to the security forces is probably Sinn Fein

Re: He was lucky :-(
Democracy? No we have the them-and-us-merry-go-round system instead. Anything bad that happens is blamed on 'them' and anything good was obviously a gift from 'us'. Every so often the 'them' and the 'us' swap places so the blame game can be perpetuated. The whole thing is run by career politicians who's sole aim in politics is to further their career. Where is the incentive to serve the people when serving a party makes you so much richer? Where is the incentive to say something meaningful when you can blame the previous incumbents and keep the merry-go-round spinning profitably on. It's only every five years or so that we get a say and even then we can only say some variation of 'us' or 'them' so who cares.
Re: The legislation used against him was allowed to be passed by the voters.
So right about Bliar helping start the Iraq war (with fabricated evidence for which he has still not been brought to book) and so right about the sheeple voting for anything. Let's not forget they voted him in again after he was shown to be a blatant bloody-handed liar.
Anyone else remeber him saying he was given "a mandate by the country" when he got in on less than 40% of the vote? Isn't the UK's consituency system a wonderful example of democracy - NOT! Without a decent proportional repersentation system the UK is doomed to get the government they deserve rather than the one they want.
1984 ain't knocking on the door; it kicked it in and plundered your house for a long time now.
Re: He was lucky :-(
If voting was actually that powerful and able to effect the amount of change that you suggest, there is no way we would be allowed to do it.
I'm not saying that I don't vote. I toddle along and put an X in the box (the mark of the illiterate) from the menu of liars, scumbags and idiots, like everyone else does. But at the end of the day I'm still voting for liars, scumbags and idiots.

Re: The legislation used against him was allowed to be passed by the voters.
>Let's not forget they voted him in again after he was shown to be a blatant bloody-handed liar.
I was so disgusted by that I left the country. Never returned. I still don't understand how they (the electorate) could do it. For the promise of taking successful peoples money and handing it to them? They liked that spray-on grin so much they couldn't control themselves? Fuckwits.
I don't think PR would make the tiniest improvement though. There'd still be broad cross-party support for every mindless malignant bill to further oppress the plebs. Tinkering with the "representation" model couldn't change that... may even weaken what trace constituency accountability might exist!
Re: He was lucky :-(
Voting isn't the only option you have in a democracy. You can also stand for office yourself.
Re: He was lucky :-(
"The use of the Act was yesterday (Con/Lib). So who, for crying out loud, are you proposing I should vote for? Plaid Cymru?"
I think his point might have had something to with the idea that silence = compliance.
Just a thought.
Every 4 years there's a popularity contest
Every 5 years mate, our colonial cousins have 4 year terms.
Re: He was lucky :-(
"Politicians are not born. They are excreted."
Not disagreeing with the sentiment, but I doubt Cicero said it. You'll find the quote all over the net - but never with a reference, and seldom in Latin (and with Aristotle and Zeno as alternative sources).
In Cicero's day there was no word for 'politician' - a man of a certain status did politics, but he also did jurisprudence and military command. The 'professional politician' is a product of modern toilets.
Re: He was lucky :-(
Fortunately we have the Queen and her quite marvellous son, they are very concerned about the rights of us common folk, and would shoot down any draconian laws like this. Thank god for democracy eh?
Re: Every 4 years there's a popularity contest
"Every 5 years mate, our colonial cousins have 4 year terms."
unless the PM realises that the evidence he is so utterly incompetant that even the average voter will figure it out in the next couple of months, hence time to have a snap election.
Re: He was lucky :-(

@Bogle (Re: He was lucky :-( )
<cough>...compulsory preferential voting...<cough>
Re: He was lucky :-(
Same here (Aus) unfortunately, and evidently in the US too.
Re: He was lucky :-(
"I think his point might have had something to with the idea that silence = compliance."
And it would be a fair point if outrage = well, anything really. But it doesn't.
Look to the US, where, from opposition, Obama criticised the use of 'national security' as an excuse for essentially throwing entire cases out of court and promised that his government would be far more selective, only blocking certain, classified and sensitive information but never blocking the entire case. And, in Government, what has he done? Use the exact methods he was criticising (and promising not to use) in exactly the same way and for exactly the same purpose. In fact it seems likely now that the use of that provision has exceeded even the worst indiscretions and heavy-handedness of the Bush administration.
So go ahead, vote-in the other, barely distinguishable crew of smug gladhands if that makes you feel better.
Re: He was lucky :-(
or you can work to change public opinion & the political debate without ever standing for office.

Do you have the money for that? Because I don't. Not across the country, anyway.

Keith Vaz?
TheyWorkForYou.com indicates that he voted very strongly in favour of anti-terror legislation. It doesn't specifically detail the legislation referenced in the article, but for everything else, Keith Vaz voted in favour.
Re: Keith Vaz?
Vaz has a remarkable track record for being a contradictory rent-a-quote. A number of stories in Private Eye describe his dubious behaviour ...
Re: Keith Vaz?
"The legal grounds for his detention are currently being disputed by Labour MP Keith Vaz, among others, who told Radio 4 he was concerned about the apparent use of "terrorism legislation for something that does not appear to relate to terrorism"."
Keith Vaz obviously has a short memory: when his party was in power and bringing in all the draconian anti-teror legislation, there were plenty of people complaining that the laws were too vague and could be abused but the leadership of the Labour government accused them of overreacting. The subsequent rampant abuse of RIPA by councils and others is no secret but while we have such legislation in place, we can expect the authorities to use them.
Re: Keith Vaz?
"....,Vaz added that he was not aware that personal property could be confiscated under the laws....." Keith Vaz seems to know very little other than the numbers for rent-a-quote journos.
Re: Keith Vaz?
If bandwagon-jumping was an athletics event then Keith Vaz would win more golds than Usain Bolt.
Re: Keith Vaz?
The odious little shit. They inflict this repugnant legislation on us, then when they get slung out of office, they try to use its existence to score points against the other lot.
...and the tossers then have the gall to feign consternation at the fact "it has become fashionable" to loathe them.
Re: Keith Vaz?
"Re: Keith Vaz?
The odious little shit"
I think you're being unfair to genuine odious little shits here; Vaz is a very special case, only one close is Margaret Hodge.
Re: Keith Vaz?
...Vaz added that he was not aware that personal property could be confiscated under the laws...
They were almost certainly after Key material. They will have intercepted lots of encrypted emails from Snowden and associated journalists and contacts, and now they are going after the keys. I hope none of that crowd keep their keys on their laptops in clear...
Re: Keith Vaz?
"If bandwagon-jumping was an athletics event then Keith Vaz would win more golds than Usain Bolt."
And next is the rev. JesseJackson.
Re: Keith Vaz?
There's a lovely phrase that used to be popular with the local press crew which, writ large, could be Vazs epitaph: - "He'd turn up for the opening of a paper bag if there was half a column inch and a photo in it."
Re: Keith Vaz?
> I hope none of that crowd keep their keys on their laptops in clear...
It wouldn't matter if the keys were encrypted - under RIPA2K, it is an offence not to decrypt such materials or hand over the decryption keys when ordered to by someone with the appropriate pwers.
And that covers far more than police and judiciary :-(
"The chances are, however, that terrorism legislation was used simply because..."
... it was convenient and let them do pretty much whatever the hell they liked without having to worry about allowing him legal representation or any other semblence of proper process...
Re: "The chances are, however, that terrorism legislation was used simply because..."
. . . which is exactly the problem that every civil liberties group has with every such legislation across all affected countries.
Each time, the Government of the day makes reassurances about 'safeguards' and 'reviews' and 'independent commissioners' and implies that anyone worried about the law being used indiscriminately is misinformed or paranoid.
Each time, a predictable bunch of people will repeat the fallacy that "if you've got nothing to hide, you've got nothing to fear" and completely miss the point.
And, each time the laws will be misused and all the warnings of the civil liberties groups proven to be accurate.
And yet, nothing changes.
You can vote out the mob that put the legislation in but the laws are never repealed due to law enforcement saying that (despite them not having it a few years ago) it would be a major setback and cripple their operations.

Raptors 'Tried Frantically' To Acquire Giannis Antetokounmpo On Draft Night
The Toronto Raptors "tried frantically" to acquire a top-15 pick in last June's draft in order to select Giannis Antetokounmpo.
John Hammond had decided 72 hours before the draft that the Milwaukee Bucks would select Antetokounmpo if he fell to them at No. 15.
Many NBA executives believed that Antetokounmpo received a promise from the Atlanta Hawks with the 17th overall pick.

About this title: The "Sesame Street" monsters jump on the bandwagon to support the environmental movement! Simple text and speech balloons give toddlers basic information about how trees help the environment and the ways in which we all benefit from them. Illustrations show different species of trees and their leaves through the cycle of the seasons with labels to identify them. The payoff comes at the end with a large lift-the-flap that shows how, from a tiny seed, a mighty (and environmentally neccessary!) tree grows.

Holy Rivalry Over Kateri
By the Banks of the St. Lawrence River, in a modest church on the Kahnawake reserve, lie the remains of a controversial would-be saint. Kateri Tekakwitha, a chaste young thing with a penchant for placing hot embers between her toes, may have died over 300 years ago, but she still has the ability to rock one of the most powerful institutions in the world.
LORRAINE MALLINDER, FreelancePublished: Saturday, March 20 2010
Canadians have not yet thrown in the towel. Deacon Ron Boyer, Kateri's vice-postulator this side of the border, says he has referred a local healing to the bishop of Longueuil, who is still mulling its eligibility for papal scrutiny. One senses the deacon's growing impatience.
Truth be told, Canada's miracle machine is a down-at-heel affair, run from the rickety Kateri Centre in Kahnawake, next door to the St. Francis Xavier Church - not much of a match for its U.S. counterpart in Washington, D.C. The latter campaign, it seems, is not only better organized, but also better funded. "We can't compare with them," says Boyer.
Monsignor Paul Lenz, Kateri's vice-postulator south of the border, denies all knowledge of rivalry.
He is also loath to speak of a "campaign." The U.S. Kateri mission is entirely funded by donations, he says, adding: "We don't keep track of the money."
Difficult to say how deep the rivalry cuts, particularly when Jacques Berthelet, Bishop of Longueuil, speaks of a "healthy, brotherly rivalry." Both countries feel a sense of pride, but it must be remembered that ultimately Kateri belongs to the Mohawk Nation, he says.
Undeniably, however, there are frustrations on Team Canada. These have been fanned by a sense of injustice following the death of John Paul II, who allegedly came within a hair's breadth of canonizing Kateri.
The former pontiff elevated more people to sainthood than all his predecessors combined. But this bread-and-fishes approach is now long gone. Pope Benedict XVI has introduced more stringent rules on canonization, calling for more rigour from bishops instigating cases.
With the imminent canonization of Quebec's Brother André, Kateri's advocates are wondering whether Kateri is next on the list. But even down at the Vatican, no one seems to have the foggiest. Molinari's responses are cloaked in clerical mystery.
"I cannot say anything because I am not a son of God. I am not a prophet," he says.
He insists, however, that Kateri would be considered a North American saint, belonging to both the U.S. and Canada. In the meantime, both countries continue their search for a miracle.
Who Was Kateri Tekakwitha?
Her life (1656-1680) was rooted in this country's darkest and most brutal times, when rival European powers battled for control of the continent. Born in what is now Auriesville, N.Y., to a Mohawk chief and a Catholic Algonquin mother, she experienced the war, disease and dislocation typical of the era.
Conventional versions of her story recount how she was orphaned by smallpox, a disease that left her badly disfigured and partially blind. Left to the mercies of her extended family, who attempted to pressure her into an arranged marriage, she was persecuted for her Catholic faith by her own people. Eventually she made it to Kahnawake, where she lived a life of rigorous asceticism. At 24, she died, exhausted by disease and self-mortification.

People's 'Sexiest Man Alive' unveiled
Updated On: Nov 14 2012 11:48:49 PM CST
"Magic Mike" star Channing Tatum is People's "Sexiest Man Alive" for 2012.
But although he won fame for his male stripper moves this past year, the 32-year-old actor is no playboy.
Married to actress Jenna Dewan-Tatum since 2009, Tatum is also a sculptor who quotes Edgar Allan Poe, loves to give her massages and can't wait to start a family, People magazine reported.
He told his wife about his latest honor when they were covered in stinky water after giving their dogs, who had been "skunked," a wash in the bathtub.
"Yeah, she calls me [the Sexiest Man Alive] now," Tatum joked.
Tatum follows in the footsteps of past "Sexiest" honorees and Hollywood heavyweights such as George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp and, most recently, Bradley Cooper.
People's "Sexiest Man Alive" 2012 issue hits newsstands this Friday.

TAMPA, Fla. (Busch Gardens Tampa) – Nat Geo WILD will debut a never-before-seen race between two of the National Football League's fastest athletes and nature's fastest land mammal in the premiere of "Man v.

Cheetah" will kick off the Fourth Annual Big Cat Week for Nat Geo WILD, the network's most-watched week.
Running back Chris Johnson of the Tennessee Titans and Chicago Bears' wide receiver Devin Hester raced two of
According to NFL records, Chris Johnson is considered the fastest player in the NFL and Devin Hester holds the league's all-time record for most kicks and punts returned for touchdowns.
During the race, park guests watched as the cheetahs dashed across their 220-foot sprint path for the race. The NFL athletes ran two different exercises on the other side of the safety wall. Johnson's challenge was based on shear speed and included a back-and-forth stretch on the sprint path. Hester's challenge highlighted his agility and required him and his cheetah competitor to run four lengths of the sprint, changing direction three times.
Additional programming to air during Nat Geo WILD's Big Cat Week includes Betty White in "Betty White Goes Wild!," National Geographic Explorers-in-Residence and renowned filmmakers Beverly & Dereck Joubert's film, "Game of Lions," and big cat wrangler Boone Smith hosts, "Cougar v.

Facebook's brand new layout and profile pages
Summary: Announced at Facebook's f8 conference today, Facebook's brand new 'timeline' profile layout. Prepare for a shock.
10 of 12Image
See here, the option to add a specific, targeted update to your profile, but retrospectively. The great thing about this new timeline is that you can go back and swap, edit and change content. However, as you will find out that the timeline does get a little personal at times -- personal even for Facebook. You can see here that you have the option to add "losing a loved one", which in my books is pushing it too far.
Your likes, music and other content that you have on your profile remains the same, still. You can also go back into your activity log and see your 'likes' from years gone by -- seeing your developing tastes in music, events or other things you engage with on the site.
Facebook, using Microsoft's Bing Maps, allows you to see on a map where you have used Facebook 'check-in'. There are already third-party applications available on Facebook to do this, but it is nice to see the social network natively supporting a map-view of where you have been and when. Of course, you can categorise and edit your timeline from here, to add other content to your check-ins retrospectively.
Kick off your day with ZDNet's daily email newsletter. It's the freshest tech news and opinion, served hot. Get it.

We partner with the world's top museums and galleries to bring you exclusive prints of the highest quality. Our teams of designers ensure the colours are accurate, papers are well suited and the best frames are suggested.
In the printing room, artworks are printed on state-of-the-art machines with a team of technicians checking colour and quality every step of the way.
After being cut down to size, our team carefully finish any stray edges, check measurements and prepare the prints for mounting and framing.
We have a team of master framers who work with high-quality, responsibly-sourced wood to create our vast range of framing combinations - each frame is bespoke and made to order for every print.
Our selection of hand-finished frames are painted or stained by hand in a variety of colours, and finished with a layer of wax - the end result is a uniquely crafted, beautiful frame that is made to last.
In this workshop everything comes together - the print, the frame and the glass - in a seamless and stream-lined process.
The artwork is carefully mounted in preparation for framing.
Once mounted, the print is ready to be covered by glass or perspex - a delicate procedure but expertly done with not a fingerprint in sight.
After a final, thorough check, the framed print is ready to be carefully packaged up and shipped to the customer.
For those who order their art as canvas prints, the same amount of attention and care goes into the process. Here, the print is being transferred to a wooden frame.
As with the framed prints, our canvases are all hand-finished in the workshop - a labour of love from start to finish.

What Should Congress Do Concerning Immigration Reform?
First of all we must reject the Gang of Eight national immigration bill (S.744) as currently written. It is a replay of 1986 in which the US Congress granted an amnesty for illegal immigrants with only promises to control our borders and more promises to do real enforcement of our laws. The promises were not kept and there is no reason to trust Congress this time. The Gang of Eight bill actually increases legal immigration to two million immigrants each year when we have over 18 million citizens who are either unemployed or cannot find a full-time job. This is nothing less than ridiculous.
It is a both a right and responsibility of our government to manage immigration so that it serves the national interests of the USA, as eloquently spoken by the late Congresswoman Barbara Jordan and former Chairperson of the US Commission on Immigration Reform. Obviously we need to stop illegal immigration (steps to take on page 2), but we also need to reform legal immigration for our knowledge-based society and have it built upon very high skill-levels and advanced education with the exception of allowing a traditional number of refugees per year. Less legal immigration, almost exclusively based on very high skills and advanced education, would benefit the USA. The key point is advanced skills and education, the smartest of the smart. Outside of some small shortages of STEM workers in spots around the nation, there is no shortage of college educated workers in the USA. One can look at statistics as real proof. And we have over twenty million citizens who are either unemployed or cannot find a full-time job. In the past we have had too much unskilled legal immigration and illegal immigration. Mass illegal immigration in particular has caused an increase in unemployment and driven down wages for low-skilled citizens and created more poverty. Among the top legal immigrant sending countries of legal immigrants, welfare is the highest for households headed by immigrants from Mexico (57%), Guatemala (55%), and the Dominican Republic (54%).
Should we consider a pathway to citizenship (amnesty in reality) for illegal immigrants? Robert Rector, a senior research fellow of the Heritage Foundation, says legalization of illegal immigrants will cost more than six trillion dollars net over their lifetime for the total public benefits they will be entitled to receive minus taxes paid. How will we really determine the amount of "back taxes" owed by illegal immigrants to the federal government…..under which illegal immigrant's fake name? How much will this analysis cost the taxpayers? How do we do an effective background check since again illegals have so many aliases? How much will that investigative work cost taxpayers? What is the amount of the so-called fine the illegals will pay? How many would-be legal immigrants waiting in line now would gladly pay a "fine" to be able to jump in the front of the line of others? And the biggest insult is the notion of illegals getting in the back of the line. Is it the end of the line that would-be legal immigrants enter while still in their native country? Or is it the end of an imaginary line inside the USA as if the illegals had green cards? We have a backlog in paperwork and processing today while admitting one million legal immigrants each year, but how is it that we have plenty of time and money to process paperwork for thirteen million illegal immigrants, while at the same time, continuing to admit the one million legal immigrants each year? Isn't it interesting that those proposing amnesties never mention the punishment that citizens will endure with an amnesty, only the suggested "humanitarian" benefit the illegals will receive? Citizen taxpayers are being punished by having to fund the huge cost of public benefits of illegals and their dependents. And every social services dollar going to illegal immigrants and their dependents is one less dollar going to our own poor, since there is not an unlimited amount of taxpayer money. Low-skilled citizens are punished by lost jobs and driven-down wages due to illegal immigration. How humanitarian is it to keep granting amnesties (since the IRCA amnesty in 1986 the USA has granted six "mini-amnesties") while would-be legal immigrants wait years and years in line? Any action other than illegal immigrants returning to their native country and getting in the back of the line is in fact an amnesty.
Should consideration be given to the so-called "Dream or Achieve" Act amnesty? Both of these are marketed as helping children of illegal immigrants. Children aren't really deported. They simply follow and go with their parents. 18-32 year old persons are adults, not children. As young adults, those illegally in the USA can go back to their native country to attend trade school or college and/or work legally. The only persons hurt with such an amnesty are young adult citizens who, one for one (as college is a selection process), will be disenfranchised for every illegal immigrant allowed to enroll in a U.S. college or take a job in the USA.
We need to reduce legal immigration and make it much more advanced education-based AND diverse (ten sending countries hog most of the legal immigration slots). More diversity automatically makes it likely that legal immigrants will learn English and not easily reside in ethnic enclaves in America. Use the opportunity of reforming immigration to do welfare reform at the same time. Reduce legal immigration to a total of 150,000 per year until our high real unemployment rate (use U-6 data per the Dept of Labor) is significantly lowered. Why are we allowing nearly one million legal immigrants to the USA each year to include this year, while over 18 million Americans are either unemployed or want and cannot find a full-time job? Maybe we need to listen to citizens instead of the whining of the US Chamber of Commerce and other cheap labor advocates.
We have no shortage of poorly educated citizens who have done and will do manual labor. The highest unemployment rate is for low-skilled and poorly educated citizens. In the case of agriculture, farmers can legally acquire all of the seasonal migrant workers they want through the H-2A visa program (H-2A's are unlimited, but temporary). We could certainly improve the process for H-2A visas. We should also insist that farmers mechanize where possible, as this is 2014 not 1914.
Our nation must take action against illegal immigration. There are six million illegal immigrants in non-agricultural jobs in the USA. In short, 96% of illegals are in non-ag jobs. With 18 million Americans unable to find a full-time job, insist on "attrition through enforcement" to combat illegal immigration and require all businesses to use the federal E-Verify system to check new and existing employees. Make sure compliance is enforced. This will free-up several million existing jobs now being held by illegals and, with a slightly tighter labor market, increase wages for our low-skilled citizens and help them become the working instead of the working poor! Continue to implement the federal Real ID Act which makes drivers licenses more secure and prevents illegals from acquiring a driver's license (also helps with voter ID and national security). Who can stay in the USA mid to long term without a driver's license and a job? Tighten up our borders and complete dual fences on the southern border in areas more easily crossed (dual fences properly constructed have worked on our southern border). The U.S. Supreme Court allows local law enforcement to be involved in immigration enforcement, so continue to encourage the use the DHS's Secure Communities program. Complete and implement OBIM, the former US VISIT program, to track who enters and then leaves our nation. One third of illegals are visa overstays who initially came here short term with a visa. In total these actions could free-up many of the six million non-ag jobs being held by illegal immigrants and it drastically reduces illegal immigration. These recommendations should be framed for the general public for what they are: a plan to reduce the unemployment rate, help low-skilled citizens who deserve jobs, protect social services dollars for our own poor, free-up education dollars for our own disadvantaged instead of the dependents of illegal immigrants, and improve homeland security.
To recap, less legal immigration being more skill and advanced education-based will create a scenario in which these high-skilled immigrants will help our economy without increasing the unemployment rate. Using the earlier mentioned "attrition through enforcement" to stop and reduce illegal immigration will give low-skilled citizens of all ethnicities a better chance of getting a job, making more money, and saving some of it. To provide an amnesty for 11-13 million illegal immigrants and allow them to acquire legal status or citizenship is just plain wrong. Polls have shown the American voter in general supports the above measures. Our government should listen to citizens and not the cheap labor interests and ethnic-based advocacy groups.

NC LISTEN supports a better fix for immigration enforcement
Concerned Citizens and Immigration Reformers,
H.R. 1901, the Strengthen and Fortify Enforcement (SAFE) Act, a bill by Congressman Trey Gowdy and Lamar Smith would enhance national security and public safety through more effective immigration law enforcement within our nation as well as at the borders. It would acknowledge the federal government has the primary responsibility for immigration policy, but preserve the ability of state and local governments to enact and enforce ordinances within certain parameters, allowing them to take action when the federal government does not. It allows and encourages local law enforcement to assist in enforcement. The bill requires local agencies to cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), but also requires ICE to respond to local government requests to take custody of criminal aliens.
H.R. 1901 would make it easier to remove terrorists, gang members, fraudsters, etc who exploit the existing vulnerabilities of our immigration laws. The SAFE Act would make it much more difficult for dangerous illegal aliens to receive visas, asylum, green cards, citizenship, and other benefits.
The SAFE Act seeks to restore integrity to our immigration system by cracking down on those who game the system by submitting frivolous applications, ignore deportation orders, and other serious offenses to include failing to appear for hearings.
NC LISTEN is against any move to have the U.S. House go to conference committee with their good enforcement House legislation in concert with the lousy U.S. Senate S.744 Gang of Eight amnesty bill and attempt to reconcile legislation. This would only become a polluted piece of legislation. A thoroughbred mixed with a jackass is a mule.

CIS: An Examination of Minority Voters' Views on Immigration
From the Center for Immigration Studies:
"While it is sometimes assumed that minorities, particularly Hispanics, favor increased immigration and legalization for illegal immigrants, a new Zogby survey finds that minority voters' views are more complex. The poll of Hispanic, Asian-American, and African-American likely voters finds some support for legalization. But overall each of these groups prefers enforcement and for illegal immigrants to return home. Moreover, significant majorities of all three groups think that the current level of immigration is too high. These views are in sharp contrast to the leaders of most ethnic advocacy organizations, who argue for increased immigration and legalization of illegal immigrants. The survey used neutral language, avoiding such terms as 'amnesty,' 'illegal alien,' or 'undocumented.'"

Immigration Reform Equals Millions of Jobs for Citizens
By: Ron Woodard, Director, NC Listen
I find it interesting that few of our federal politicians really seem to understand how immigration enforcement and real reform could significantly impact the job situation in America. Or maybe they just don't care. On the illegal immigration side, we have over six million plus illegal immigrants who occupy non-agricultural jobs in the USA which rightly belong to citizens.
President Obama has spent billions to lower unemployment by a fraction while ignoring the illegal worker problem. After all, we have the federal government's E-Verify System available NOW for employers to use to check the legal resident worker status of new hires, but it is not mandatory. The on-line and simple to operate E-Verify System could easily be used to check the legal resident status of existing workers. But of course this would take Congressional and Presidential action and require common sense. So you can see why Congress and the President would have a problem with this concept!
On the legal immigration side, why are we continuing to allow approximately one million legal immigrants into America each year when over 20 million citizens are are either unemployed or want but cannot find a full-time job? Of course if we include citizens who are working part-time but want a full-time job and can't find one and the under-counted unemployed [referred to as the U-6 measure by our U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics] the U.S.A.'s actual unemployment rate is over 13%. We should basically halt all legal immigration except for legitimate refugees, Americans who marry overseas or have children while overseas, and maybe 10,000 of the incredibly smart who might want to immigrate legally to America — this number would be less than 150,000 per year.
With current economic projections, our national unemployment rate is not expected to be under 5% for the next four plus years. The state of North Carolina has had to borrow over $2 billion just to pay unemployment claims money — money borrowed from the USA Treasury [aka actually borrowed from China for our children to repay].
President Obama said he will "enforce our immigration laws and control our borders". I think he said the month this would happen but not which year. The President said he "would do what is necessary to bring down the rate of unemployment". Oh really?
I have heard enough polished BS coming from President Obama and quite frankly from both major political parties. They both do a lot of talking but little action. There are certainly many legislators who support our efforts, however too many are more interested in getting re-elected than doing what's best for Americans and our national interest. More to follow on our plan to rattle their cages.

Photos and Description of this 2 bedroom holiday apartment in Providence
2 Bedrooms, 1 Bathroom, Sleeps 4
This is a very large two bedroom apartment situated on the third floor of my house.This home was built by Willian Crims president of Gorham Silver company in 1870 .I am the third owner since it was built.The second owner ,the Bessette's, bought it in the 1920's used it for as a hotel for visiting vaudeville acts coming to Providence .As the house is close to downtown ,it was a quick trolly car away.As times changed the top floors were let out to nurses.as the hospital is an easy walk, and the family lived downstairs.This is a 24 room house by the way.Several generations of thr Bessette family lived here until I bought it from the estate in the 80's.It's had a lively history and has always been taken care of over the years and still pretty much original.Granted there has been the addition of bathrooms and kitchens through the years but I think William Crim's ,the original owner, would still feel pretty much at home.
The third floor which I am listing today ,is a large two bedroom with an eat in kitchen,stainless steel appliances,large living room with 46' Google tv ,with Netflix ,Google chrome,amazon movies etc.There are two bedrooms .One with a queen size canopy bed and the other a full bed.Hardwood floors throughout and a tiled bath with a large sit down shower with multiple controls.There are a number of sky lights throughout the apartment that gives you the feel of being in your own penthouse.Nicelly decorated throughout with a number of arts and crafts pieces. I would say the average size of the rooms are somewhere around 15' by 20 'it's large. I rent this on a nightly,weekly or monthly basis.I also have other listings which I rent out on another site.and have had over 200 guest in the past year.
Please check out my photos and if you are interested and looking for a stay in Providence and this fits your needs please give me a call.Ideal for two couples and very spacious for one .Also there is internet,WiFi ,central air ,and all utilities are included in the price. Also I serve breakfast downstairs .
