The inspection happened Feb. 19, and the report shows zero reportable incidents, such as fire, death, suicide or escape. The total average daily population is shown as "2" in the report which also noted that 18 offenders are housed by contract at a private facility in Karnes County, three in Wilson County and two in Live Oak County.
"There were no deficiencies noted and upon review of this report by the executive director of Texas Commission on Jail Standards, a certificate of compliance may be issues per the requirements of VTCA, Chapter 511 and Texas Minimum Jail Standards," the report states.
Karnes County Sheriff Dwayne Villanueva said he is very pleased with the report from the most recent inspection.
These inspections, are "surprise" inspections, Villanueva explained, so there is no way to know when they might happen.
Considering it is an aging facility, Villanueva said he was especially pleased as it gets harder and harder for older jail facilities to stay in compliance with ever-changing standards.
"It is very tough," Villanueva said, adding that he is looking forward to the completion of the new Karnes County Jail which will be constructed in a way that will comply with the most recent jail standards.
The start of construction on the new jail is expected soon, and the completion date is set for Oct. 20. The new facility will be able to house 48 offenders and is designed in such a way that it will be expandable to a 96-bed facility.

A representative, national survey of 1,500 Americans was conducted by telephone for this study. The interviews were conducted from November 3 to 12, 1999. Each interview lasted about 15 minutes, and was devoted exclusively to this issue. A follow-up telephone interview of a subset of initial respondents was conducted in mid December.
An RDD (Random-Digit-Dial) sampling methodology was utilized to ensure that the results are projectable to the American public as a whole. Sampling error for a sample this size is ± 2.6% at the 95% confidence interval.
Many steps were taken during the course of the survey to ensure this study is as representative as possible, including:

1942: During World War II, the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal between Japanese and American forces in the Solomon Islands, east of Papua New Guinea, ends in a decisive Allied victory. The battle secured an airfield on the island of Guadalcanal that had been the focus of fighting since Allied forces took it over in August. Here one of four Japanese transports, Kinugawa Maru, beached and destroyed at Guadalcanal is seen a year after the battle.

Vt gets low marks as retirement state
Vermont does not do well in literature and on websites that promote retirement.
TopRetirements.com says this of Vermont: The Green Mountain State has very high median property and income taxes, with a top 10 cost of living. Winters here are better for skiing than golf. It was rated fourth worst state for retirement by the website.
In an article in Smart Money from August, Vermonts disadvantages for retirement were listed as its cold weather (summers are short, winters are snowy and long) and cost. It costs 10.9 percent more than the national average to live here. Income taxes climb up to 8.95 percent, Social Security income is often also taxed, and nursing home and assisted-living costs are significantly higher than average. And retirees who want to spend their golden years in some popular ski towns will have to shell out a boatload of cash. The cost of living in Stowe, for example, is more than 42 percent higher than average, and the median home there costs $377,800.
The article said nothing about retirement possibilities in the Barre-Montpelier area, instead concentrating on Brattleboro, Burlington and Rutland.
Kiplinger.com had this analysis of Vermont for retirement: Vermont doesnt pander to retirees. There are no exemptions for retirement income in the Green Mountain State, except for Railroad Retirement benefits, which are exempt in every state. Social Security benefits and out-of-state pensions are fully taxed. Vermont exempts prescription and nonprescription drugs from its 6 percent state sales tax, but it imposes a 9 percent tax on prepared foods and restaurant meals and a 10 percent tax on alcoholic beverages served in restaurants. The Tax Foundation lists Vermonts property taxes among the 10 highest in the nation.
Some states have retirement community programs as state policy, and TopRetirements.com writes that the purpose of these retirement community programs and lists is to encourage economic development. The prospect of 76 million baby boomers nearing retirement has caught the attention of many states and communities because the economic benefits to the places where they end up retiring are enormous. States not only want to encourage new residents to retire in their communities because of the mail box economy (pension checks arriving by mail), but they also want to keep existing residents.MORE IN Central VermontMIDDLEBURY According to WebMD, Dystonia is a movement disorder that causes a persons muscles ...

6-11-10 Progressive Field
I decided to attend this game after checking Saturday's iffy weather forecast. I left right after work, so I didn't get to the stadium until just before 5 PM.
I had missed the first 25 minutes of batting practice, which is never a good thing, but I would get on the board soon.
I was checking for any easter eggs that some folks may have missed when Shin Soo Choo hit a home run that landed in the trees in Heritage Park. I tried to reach in and grab it so I could count it as a hit ball, but I couldn't reach it.
I pulled out my Cleveland Stick and used it to nudge the ball closer to the wall so I could get it. It was ball #1.
The next round, Travis Hafner also hit a home run into the trees in Heritage Park, so I ran back over again.
This ball would be a bit trickier because it was lodged in the branches of one of the trees.
Game: 7 balls (3 hit, 4 device)
Season: 192 balls (101 hit, 51 thrown, 17 device, 23 found)
Games: 31 games
Average: 6.19 balls per game
2010 Game Balls: 3
Career: 770 balls
Streak: 127 consecutive games attended with at least 1 ball snagged.
Attendance: 22,041

Do you know where the players entrance is at Progressive Field?
UDstephen, its just around the corner from gate C, Id say about 150 feet or so past gate C walking towards the home plate entrance.

- Australian Centre for Emerging Technologies and Society
- Abstract
- We are living during a time of rapid technological change. Emerging technologies---notably information and life science technologies---have profound social, political, psychological and ethical implications. Public perceptions of emerging technologies are potentially volatile. The Swinburne National Technology and Society Monitor (SNTSM) was developed by the Australian Centre for Emerging Technologies and Society (ACETS) at Swinburne University of Technology. It involves a representative nationwide survey of Australians, and provides an annual 'snapshot' of public perceptions regarding new technologies in Australia. The 2005 Monitor is the third edition of the Swinburne National Technology and Society Monitor. It provides a snapshot of public perceptions in 2005, and how these perceptions have changed since 2003. [Introduction]

Slot and monopoly these two concepts have been combined may be with the idea of getting much profit. Since the game of Monopoly slots have become so popular that now people are finding places where they get the chance to play Monopoly slot machines online.
The Strategy of Monopoly Slot Games
This is a kind of slot machine game where strategy cannot help you much. It runs on an unsystematic number generator just like every other slots game, so no strategies, betting variation, or bankroll management is going to help you. The two strategies that can work are:
- Play with money only that you can afford to lose.
- Get lucky.

Casinos in Texas
The Unites States is known for having some of the best gambling institution in the world. Whenever you talk about gambling, Las Vegas always comes to mind and to a lesser but equally important degree, Atlantic city. The State of Texas also houses a number of casinos for people to enjoy. There are around 10 casinos in Texas which are considered top notch to choose from. These are located in different areas in the State, which is more or less one in every major city.
Racing is one of the most popular forms of gambling in Texas. Below are two of the most popular racetracks in the State that you'll undoubtedly hear about should you decide to visit the cities they're located in.
– The Gillespie Fairgrounds is located in Fredricksburg, Texas. It is mostly composed of county fairs which promote education to the youth. Aside from that though, it also has a racetrack for horses where people can place bets on their favorite horse to win. This fair has been functional for around 100 years and is still open up to this day. There is also greyhound or thoroughbred racing made available in some cases.
– The Gulf Greyhound Park can be found in La Marque. It's also basically a racetrack for hounds and is arguably the best and biggest greyhound racing institution in the world with over 6000 seating and around 14 kennels that can accommodate 62 greyhounds per kennel.
Aside from racetracks, there are also traditional casinos in Texas that can people can visit if they're in the mood for gambling.

– From Eagle Pass Texas comes the Kickapoo Lucky Eagle Casino. It offers 24 hour gaming excitement and is geographically near both San Antonio and Rio Grande Valley so it's pretty accessible.

Whenever you're visiting Texas and want have some time to enjoy yourself, try visiting these locations for all the fun that you can get.
What Sort of Games Do the Best Gambling Sites Have?
One of the benefits of playing casino games online is the fact that you have many games to choose from. The best gambling sites are not going to make you choose between just blackjack and poker, but they will have a plethora of options available. But what if you are new to online gambling and do not know what some of these games are? In that situation, I felt it might be nice to provide new players with a few games that you can find online.
Poker – There is a reason that poker remains one of the most popular games to play in both land based and online casinos. Poker can be intimidating for a beginner and the best gambling sites will provide a new player with a good tutorial.
Bingo – Online bingo is the exact representation of what you would find in an actual casino – only online!
Baccarat – The player bets before any hand is ever dealt. It is possible to put money on the dealer winning or the player winning. The cards are dealt and a winner is determined. While the table may seem confusing, the fact that the games move relatively slow means that you will have plenty of time to learn.
Craps – One of the more popular online casino games you can play. Place your bet, roll the dice and if your number comes up you are a winner. While the betting lines, symbols, and array numbers that you will see at the table may be overwhelming at first, once you understand the basics, you will find that the game is easy to play.
Keno – Keno uses a random number generator to select a number and is very straightforward to play. Like bingo and lottery games, the outcome depends on luck, not skill.
Slots – Arguably the most popular games you can play in any casino because of their simplicity (and people happen to love the sights and sounds). Spin the mechanical reels by pushing a button and see if the symbols come up aligned. If they do – you are a winner!
Roulette – Roulette is a French diminutive for the word "little wheel." The choices are simple, choose a number or choose red or black, alternatively you can bet on whether the number to come up next will be odd or even. The winner is determined where the little ball stops.
Blackjack – The point behind blackjack is to get to the number 21 as closely as you possibly can by accumulating cards without going bust. Cards are represented by number but the face cards can mean different things depending on the casino you are playing at. That is why it is always important to read the rules and not make any assumptions.
Games to Play on Bingo Websites
The modern bingo website has just about every bingo game you could imagine but these days there are even more choice and different forms of entertainment including a selection of side games to help keep you amused if you ever get fed up playing online bingo. Such games that you find inside your membership area include slots ,
These games are located in a separate section of the bingo site but you still use the funds from your bingo account to stake as much or as little as you like on each game. When playing a game such as slots then make sure you fully understand the staking rules as sometimes you pay for lines which increase the overall stake you wager on the outcome of the event or spin. Look out for bingo sites that offer a free play section where you will not lose any of your real money from your bingo account so you can practice before staking some real cash. Let's move on to explain in detail just what these side games are and how they work.
Slot Games
These are probably the most popular side games you can play within your bingo account. Usually there is a choice from three or five reel slots games with the three reel version being easier to play and win. To make these games interesting to play a clever tactic used by bingo companies is to brand them, for example some of the most popular slot games are themed on hit TV shows such as "Deal or No Deal" or popular board games like Monopoly or Cluedo. Most players have a favourite slot game they like to play on.
Casino Based Games
These are the traditional games that you would find in any casino and include favourites like Blackjack, Roulette and poker. Roulette is a game of pure chance where you guess a colour or number for the ball to land on whereas Blackjack involves some skill due to the fact you have to decide on "sticking" or "twisting" on your way to make the magic number of 21. Poker is probably the most complex and my advice to anyone wanting to play poker or video poker is to read a good book or find out a decent website that has poker strategies. Learn to play poker with dummy money for a long time before you upgrade to real cash as there are some very skilled poker players that play many hours online.
Instant Win Games
If you're feeling lucky and fancy a quick game of pure chance then why not try rubbing off an online scratch card, they work in the same way as normal scratch card that you might buy from your local store. Most websites will let you dictate the jackpot prize depending on what price you pay for your card. Scratch cards are fun and are themed on topics like holidays or games.

Vegas Casinos
Casinos are famous all over the world. However, Las Vegas is considered the center of the casino world. The city, located in the state of Nevada, is the main gambling hub in the United States. Legalized gambling, easy availability of alcoholic beverages and several types of adult entertainment have earned Vegas the nickname "Sin City."
In 1931, Nevada was the first independent state to legalize several types of gambling. These included slot machines, card games and a variety of games of chance. For a little more than four decades it remained this way, and these rules turned Vegas into a casino haven.
At present, Las Vegas is one of the fastest developing cities in the US and is home to nine of the ten largest hotels in the country. The entire city houses casinos. However, the most modern and extravagant casinos in Las Vegas are situated along the southern tip of Las Vegas Boulevard. This area is popularly known as "The Strip". They are all easily accessible, since these are all located within a few miles of McCarran International Airport.
Modern casinos are enormous and some contain thousands of
Slot Machines – Is It Possible To Win?
There are several theories and myths about the nature of slot machines and whether a person can actually make a profit from them. With the growing awareness of gambling addiction, the slot machine is getting a bad name. The actual fact is that in January 2009 a report was released by the Ontario Problem Gambling Research Centre stating that problem gamblers comprise a mere 3.2% of the whole gambling population in Canada. In August 2010, Stats Canada released its finding that the total Canadian gambling revenue was estimated at $13.75 billion in 2009. When one considers the total Canadian revenue from gambling, the 3.2% of problem gamblers is relatively small in comparison to the spending as a whole.
Slots have been around since 1891 where the
Slots have been a favorite of many gamblers throughout history, although slot machines were also viewed as the poor man's gamble in many bars across North America. Slot machines have risen in popularity since the creation of Microgaming and Random Number Generation Technology (RNG). RNG predicts the next symbols to appear on the
Slot machines today are known to have payout percentages of 80 – 98% and are pre-programmed with Microgaming for their payout rates. Casinos are able to change the payout rate of their machines; however most choose not to due to the complex task and large expense of having a chip replaced. Most slot machines with wagering amounts of a penny to a quarter have lower payout rates than one dollar and higher machines. It is noted that five dollar machines typically have a payout rate of 98%.
Is it possible to win at slot machines today with the governing combination being chip technology? Absolutely! One needs to understand the RNG technology and how it is employed in slot machines. Using simple tips and strategies, it is very possible to build a slow but steady income stream from slot machines. A mistake that many slot players make is continuing to put large sums of money into a slot with the hope of a large jackpot. If a player is using low risk betting strategies and understands RNG, the chances of building a substantial and consistent income stream is far more possible than the one-off large jackpot.
So the next time you hit the land or online casinos, consider RNG and not hanging out for the large jackpot. Take your small wins and move to the next machine to start it all over again. Wise money management is a very important factor in winning at the slots.

Hi, Has anyone got any advice?
I have a 7 week old baby boy, Shay, who was born at 32 weeks and we spent the first 5 weeks in intensive and special care. Initially I wasn't able to breastfeed him, but expressed milk for his NGT feeds. My milk was a bit slow to come in at first, but by the time we went home he was fully breastfeeding.
Now he isn't gaining enough weight, only 10g a day, and even lost a bit of weight last week. My milk supply doesn't seem adequate and has dwindled I think. I am having to give him 1 supplementary formula feed a day as well as EBM top-ups.
I am taking fenugreek capsules, fenugreek, fennel and milk thisle tea, eating lots, drinking lots, sleeping ok.
I have a 2yr old who I successfully breastfed until she was 16months.
Any advice, ideas etc would be much appreciated as I feel strongly that I want to breasfeed and am feeling quite low and inadequate that its not taking off.

Skip to comments.The Conquest of the West
Posted on 10/31/2011 7:58:56 PM PDT by rmlew
On Oct. 31, the U.N. Population Fund marks the arrival of the 7 billionth person on Earth and raises the population estimate for the planet at mid-century to 9.3 billion people.
There is a possibility, says the United Nations, that, by century's end, world population may reach 15 billion. What does this mean for Western civilization?
It may not matter, except to identify who inherits the estate. For while world population is exploding, Western peoples are dying. Not a single European nation, except Muslim Albania, has a birth rate that will enable it to replace its present population.
By mid-century, Western man will be down to 12 percent of world population. By century's end, he will be a tiny fraction, roughly equal to the white population of Rhodesia when Robert Mugabe came to power.
The demographic winter of the West has set in.
Between now and 2050, Russia, a nation of roughly 140 million, down from nearly 150 million at the breakup of the Soviet Union, is on schedule to lose an additional 24 million people.
"Hypermortality" is a word demographers use in discussing Russia.
Germany is to lose 8 million of her 82 million people. Ukraine has lost 6 million people since liberation in 1991 and will lose another 10 million by 2050. The population of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, 8 million in 1990, will by mid-century have fallen by 30 percent to 5.7 million.
Britain, however, is to add 12 million. But since emigration from Britain is bleeding the population and the birth rate of her native-born has been below zero population growth for 35 years, the U.N. has to be factoring in immigration from the old colonies in the Caribbean, the Middle East, the sub-Sahara and South Asia.
With the median age of European nations rising toward 50 and above, and a growing share of the population over 65, the continent is going to need millions of young immigrants to maintain the labor force and cope with seniors and elderly in retirement centers, assisted living facilities and nursing homes.
Where will they come from? Continents and countries with population surges and surpluses.
By 2050, Africa's population will double from 1 billion to 2 billion people. Where today the six most populous Islamic nations -- Indonesia, Egypt, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nigeria and Turkey -- have a combined population of 885 million, by 2050 their populations will have increased by 475 million to 1.36 billion. Of the 48 fastest-growing countries in the world, 28 are majority Muslim or have Muslim populations of more than one-third of the national population.
And since it is the Muslim nations of North Africa and the Middle East that are closest to Europe, with easiest access to the continent, Muslims will likely furnish most of the multitudes who are coming.
What will this mean for Europe? Religious and racial conflict.
On Sept. 11, 2001, after the twin towers fell and Germany expressed her anguish and solidarity with America, a strange event occurred. In the Turkish districts of Berlin, bottle rockets were fired all night in celebration.
In the banlieues around Paris and other French cities, Arab riots, assaults on police and mass arson of vehicles regularly occur. This summer in London, the immigrant enclaves exploded and poured out into the city night after night.
Angela Merkel of Germany, seconded by David Cameron of Britain and Nicolas Sarkozy of France, declared multiculturalism had "utterly failed."
What is the future of Europe? What is the future of Western man? Houari Boumedienne, Algerian revolutionary and president of his country, predicted it at the United Nations in 1975.
"One day, millions of men will leave the Southern Hemisphere of this planet to burst into the Northern one. But not as friends. Because they will come in to conquer, and they will conquer by populating it with their children. Victory will come to us from the wombs of our women."
Boumedienne's words were spoken just as European and Western birth rates plunged below ZPG.
What, then, is the future?
A Russia with not one-tenth China's population will not hold on to a continental nation twice China's size. Already the Russian Far East is being invaded by Chinese crossing the Amur and Ussuri rivers to work, even as Mexicans cross the Rio Grande to reoccupy lands torn away from their ancestors in 1836 and 1848.
What is the future of the West?
China will retrieve all the lands lost to Russia in the 19th century and slices of Russia that China never owned. Mexicans and Hispanics will dominate from the Floridas to the American Southwest the lands Spain and Mexico lost to the United States in the 19th century.
Africans, whose lands were colonized and exploited by Europeans, and Muslims and Arabs, whose ancestors were turned back at Poitiers and Vienna, will succeed in the final conquest of Europe.
Demography is destiny. Patrick J. Buchanan is a nationally syndicated columnist and author of Churchill, Hitler, and "The Unnecessary War": How Britain Lost Its Empire and the West Lost the World, The Death of the West, The Great Betrayal, A Republic, Not an Empire,Where the Right Went Wrong, and most recently Suicide of a Superpower: Will America Survive to 2025?
Pat is right about this.
It's a shame that not a single Republican running for President is calling for a reduction in immigration.
As for Europe; it seems almost hopeless.
and if Islam tries to take over the world the population will drop to 3 or 4 billion
Mark Steyn has been beating this drum for years. It may yet turn out true, but I do gently submit that arguments that begin "If current trends continue" generally end up admitting later that they didn't.
Sin has consequence.
The reason America needs 50 million illegals isn't because we "just aren't having enough babies"...
The ugly brutal truth is, we have purposefully exterminated 50 million unborn American babies.
While it is true that God uses the enemies of a people to judge His people, it is most often simple cause and effect rather than supernatural effects.
If we had not aborted 50 million since 1973, or before, by now, half of those would be married and having their own children and America would have 150 million more people.
Abortion is also the problem in Europe and Russia.
Abortion, not "having fewer babies".
We should not sanitize the problem.
We can stop it at any time and in 20 years completely reverse it.
We have enough wealth to do what the other nations cannot.
If we choose to do so.
If we choose to do so.
You are so right, I have been following somewhat the aftermath of the event in Oslo Norway on july 22
that man, Brevik tried to wake up the goverment about all the muslims emigrating to Norway and that they were in fact taking over instead of mixing into the local culture and that multicultureism wasen't working, and what he has achived is the opposite, now anybody talking against mass emigration and multiculturism is beeig demonized, seems like most of the eurozone leaders missed the point altogether
We have no need for the immigrants. Immigrants lower native fertility. Also, the 1965 immigration act preceded abortion.
Short of forcing "the right people" to have babies, there really is no solution to this. The best we can do is to make sure we correctly culture our immigrants and their offspring.
That still wont solve the problem of low birthrate by the "right people".
When did did all of Europe act like Ghetto inhabitants
Having been born in Europe some seventythree years ago, I most say they were not this way then, I guess it happened a litle at the time and they never notised it, a little like placing a frog in cold water and then slowely heating it up, the frog will happily stay there until it is cooked, I'm sure glad I left in 1954, problem is it is happening here to now, and the mainstream are not seeing it, hope more will before it is to late, next year is crucial for our survival as a free people.
I hear ya. Still don't know what to do about birthrate. It seems to be something to do with the increase in standard of living. I think the only "westerners" who are increasing in number are religious/evangelicals. I dont really see how government can help there. There needs to be a spiritual re-awakening in the West. And I say that as something of an athiest!
I definitely agree with you on the need for a spiritual re-awakening in the Western world, and, of course, for better role-models in entertainment and the media, just as Mr. rmlew has been proposing.
But for the financial part, I remember three proposals of an author named Brimelow, which he made in 1992 in a National Review article titled "Time to rethink immigration?". He opined:
a) what about adjusting the federal income-tax code for inflation? In 1950, this provision exempted $ 7,800 in 1992 dollars, although by that time it had shrunken to no more than $ 2,100 in 1992 dollars.
b) the so-called "marriage penalty", which burdened married couples with more tax, should be done away with (Note: this has been achieved in the last few years, IIRC).
c) do away with the public school cartel, in order to reduce the costs of giving childeren a good education.
Wouldn't this help families with a good education and work ethic to have larger families, and thus rear more children, who would then in turn grow up to become good, law-abiding and productive American citizens?
Nice first post, and nice profile page.
Welcome to FreeRepublic.
Thank you very much, gentlemen, for your kind words of welcome :-)
You see, I have always had an interest in migration and all the factors (political or otherwise) which influence/shape it.
I would love it if I could contribute a little to the "immigration debates" on Free Republic :-)
P. S.: I hope Brimelow's writings are not unwelcome on this board, because I'm aware that some of them might be seen as controversial. However, I must admit that I only know the article I quoted, and his book Alien Nation (into which the aforementioned article later evolved).
VDARE.com is not welcome on FR.
I'm very sorry about my mistake.
I had to look this site up, and I was puzzled to see that it was a site to which he contributes, but other writers as well, some of whom are anti-Semites.
All I had ever known of his writings were his aforementioned NR article and his book (once, when I worked in a community college, I held a lecture on immigration to America and on the laws which helped to govern it. Thus, I am still very interested in the whole subject matter).
I beg your pardon again, Sir, if I have hurt you or anybody on this board, by referring to Brimelow's writings. It was supposed to be in nothing but a scholarly, non-ideological fashion.
i just forgot to mention that I had been aware of Mr. B. being somewhat controversial, when I compiled the lecture I talked about in my previous post.
However, since he had been particularly vilified by John Isbister, a very liberal man, in his book "the Immigration debate", I thought to myself: "Hmmm...it seems that from Mr. Isbister's POV practically every non-liberal is a Know-Nothing or a sheet-wearing Kukluxer or worse. So I don't see any reason to take his comments on Mr. B.s character at face value..." It was just like in the little story of the boy crying wolf :)
I hope that I have been able to rectify this regrettable misunderstanding :)
Yes, I read Brussels Journal and Gates of Vienna regularly, among other blogs and news sources.
Yes, but I really was utterly clueless about Brimelow's political stances outside of immigration matters.
And about Kevin MacDonald, enough has been said already :(
Furthermore, I find it hard assign the blame (as he does) for the passage of the 1965 Immigration Act to any single person in American politics: it seemed that a majority of American law makers wanted to see it passed, as a kind of "extension" of the Civil Rights Act to the world at large.
Strangely, the Eisenhower "Immigration proposal" (which would have flexibilised, but not abolished, the National Origins Quota system) does not seem to have been considered in earnest - neither in the media nor in Congress. I still sometimes think that it might have made a good compromise between "traditionalists" and "reformers".
But maybe I'm not more of a conservative than President Eisenhower was :)
Dear Mr. Rmlew,
I also wanted to say a big thank you for your link to Amnation. What a marvellous source of information!
I had nearly forgotten about Lawrence Auster, whose excellent article on immigration post-1965 helped me a lot with my lecture back in the days, and I once even mailed Mr. Wall, discussing with him the very controversial issue of birthright citizenship in the USA and other Western Hemisphere nations.
Outside the Western Hemisphere, interestingly, only Pakistan, Central Africa, Lesotho, Equatorial Guinea, Niger and Gambia have birthright citizenship, although some other countries had it in former times, e.g. Britain, France, India and Ireland.
On the other hand, there are countries like Swaziland, Bhutan and Nepal, which have citizenship laws based upon the principle of "double ius sanguinis"
(this means, to be a citizen of these three countries, both your parents must have been citizens at the time of your birth). This is the other extreme, in terms of citizenship laws :-)
Mr. Wall appears to me as a wonderful and knowledgeable gentleman indeed. It is a pity that I lost sight of him since.

Flu-Like Symptoms
Do you ever read a report of a player missing a game with "flu-like symptoms" and wonder what that really means? Well, wonder no more. Chan Ho Park takes us deep inside baseball like only someone who speaks English as a second language can and shines a light on a dark corner of sports reporting.
Ok, so explain this one more time. Why did you miss the game?
Happy Saturday!

Nice. Poor guy…good to see his teammates jumping right in there and helping him out.
'Minoring In Baseball'
I love Chan Ho. He was always so funny when he was a Dodger. I remember I told him I wanted an autograph for my friend who loves him. Chan Ho asked me "Boy or girl?"
Good stuff. He certainly was very forthcoming.
Tough loss tonight. Hard to watch a game go 20 and then come out with the L. But it was a hell of a game. Watching position players pitch and pitchers play positions was just awesome, win or lose. Kudos to LaRussa for not compromising and protecting his pitchers.
Loved this video when I first saw it – especially Mo's reaction in the background. So funny.
LMAO Jeff! I had not seen it so thanks! When they started laughing I was like "Oh No!" "is Chan Ho he going to go into one of those Chan Ho Park kung fu demo."
If I don't get all this cr*p cleaned out from between my keys and from inside my USB ports….guess who's getting a bill for making me laugh and giving my laptop a cracker and cheese Snapple bath!
…by the way Hell of a series so far huh?
lol i love the reactions! I read from another blog that the two laughing were Joba Chamberlain and David Robertson. Look at Mo just smiling in the background.
Chan Ho is so confused! His reaction is priceless "What? You think this is funny?" He's being honest people sheesh!😉
The diarrhea and now he's on the DL. He can't get a break😦
Very likeable and funny person

Lidge Blows His Tenth Save
The Phillies had a lot of things working against them last night. Roy Oswalt, the Astros ace, was sure to pitch a good game; the Phillies offense has been slumbering lately; and Chase Utley was out of the line-up with a bruised foot. What the Phillies did not count on working against them was their own teammate, Brad Lidge. But that has been the story all year long and still, manager Charlie Manuel refuses to do anything about it.
The patience has run out with Lidge, who took a 4-3 lead in the 9th inning and then proceeded to hand the Astros a 5-4 victory. It was his 10th blown save of the season, which leads ALL closers in the majors, as does his 0-7 record and disgusting 7.15 ERA. Only Matt Capps of the Pirates has more losses, but also has more wins: 3-8 record. This makes Brad Lidge officially the WORST closer in baseball. Lidge has gone from first in 2008, to worst in 2009.
There are no more excuses that can be made for him; Lidge is DONE. Give the job to Brett Myers, who incidentally, pitched a scoreless, hitless 8th inning last night in his first appearance back since hip surgery. Maybe Lidge can come back next year, but for 2009 in a playoff push, the Phillies cannot afford to wait for him to find his pitches. BENCH HIM NOW!
So a nice offensive breakout by the Phillies was totally wasted. A good performance by Joe Blanton who pitched 6 innings of 3 run ball was wasted. A nice job by our bench players to fill in for Utley , like Miguel Cairo who went 2 for 4 with a double – wasted. And the Phillies lead in the NL East has now dwindled to 6.5 games.
This afternoon, the Phillies will lean on Cole Hamels to right the ship. Game time is 2:05pm.

Brad Lidge has had a tough year, but hey- nobody's perfect! You have a nice blog!
That has happened to the Dodgers a few times when Broxton was closing. We always hold our breaths when he pitches. It is very frustrating.
And Charlie is convinced he will come out of his slump, what will it take, maybe a blow save that puts us out of the race…too late then…

Okay so I think I may have made a mistake. I've been posting in the Babies and Allergies section because of DD's reflux and eczema (I've eliminated eggs and and dairy from my diet at this time). Anyway, I caved to the advice of DD's ped. and gave her a tablespoon of rice cereal before nursing a couple of times to see if the thickened feed would help with her reflux. (DD was 4 months on 4/20). Well, the rice cereal didn't help AT ALL. I figured it wouldn't and went against my better judgement in trying it but at least now we know... Anyway, I've stopped the rice cereal but during the total of three times DD was given it, I noticed after the third time that she'd broken out in a hive-like rash all over the trunk of her body. I'm assuming that this was an allergic reaction to the cereal because it cleared up within about 12 hours after stopping the cereal.
My question is this-Does this mean that DD will always have this reaction to the rice cereal, even when she's six months or so and ready for solids? (I think she's going to be ready a little earlier though, she's almost 17.5 pounds, almost sits up on her own, closes her mouth around the spoon and moved the cereal to the back of her mouth to swallow). Should I try offering the cereal again in a couple of months and see what happens? She didn't act like the rash bothered her but I certainly don't want that to be a reaction we just deal with. Will we have to skip over the cereal and just introduce veggies and then fruits? Sorry for so many questions, just not sure what to do.

You were given a formula for the value of y when given a value of x. You were given a value for x, and asked for the corresponding value of y. You showed no work. The previous poster asked regarding the value you had obtained for y when you plugged the given value for x into the given formula for y.
Where, exactly, are you getting confused?

2008: Rest In Peace (Part I)
Still pissed off that Santa didn't bring me the one thing I wanted most this year (a competent General Manager running the St. Louis Cardinals), I have little choice but to fully embrace the intangible magic of humility. In doing so, I have decided to channel the tenacity of my bitterness and turn it into sincere, reflective admiration for all that has been accomplished here at RSBS this year.
Not only did we create a unique baseball-politico universe full of hyperbolic criticism and satirically erratic fandom, we also had the good fortune of being surrounded by fabulously smart and like-minded baseball nuts with passionate political views within the MLBlogosphere.
Indeed, in 2008, we saw dreams come true; we saw corruption, glory, beauty, heartbreak, Cinderella, more corruption, more beauty and more heartbreak. We saw it. We reported it. We ripped it to shreds.
In honor of RSBS' rapturous reportage, babbling blabberings and partisan posts, I have pulled out the top three 2008 RSBS entries written by that misguided Tiger fan you have all learned to feel sorry for… the one and only Mr. Allen Krause.
The 1st Runner-Up:
Diversionary Tactics — September 18, 2008
A fat incompetent college football coach, a Broadway musical composer and an old Topps baseball card featuring a solid porn mustache have never made such sweet, sweet love.
The Runner-Up:
Golden Parachutes — December 10, 2008
Hip, Sexy, Current… these three words don't just sound like a hit NBC mini-series; they also describe the tone of this well-written commentary exploring the ins and outs of our ever-failing government, the ever-declining mystique of Detroit sports franchises and the ever-growing… well, fellas, you know what I'm tryin' to say… (*Ladies, please ignore that last line😉
…and the Winner is:
Allen's Post-Partisan Playoff Preview — October 1, 2008
Hardly known for his loquaciousness, Mr. Krause really put it to dear readers galore with this existentialist exercise in post-modern fantasy capped off by… well… by being RIGHT. Fine tuned to the unique political and social caricatures of our dear elected leaders, my colleague done me proud with this little ditty of a post — so much so that I… well… I peed a little from all the excitement.
Go ahead, hate me, folks. Just don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.

I agree with your winner. Just wish the outcome had been better for the Red Sox! Allen – great job. Better luck next year for the Lions and the Tigers.
Here's to a New Year full of craziness and insanity for you both the entertain us with!
OMG. I just heard that Erin Andrews is leaving ESPN to become a correspondent for RSBS. Quite a coup, boys.
Thanks for the retrospective and Happy New Year to you both.
Julia, nothing says perfect than the demise of Detroit sports. And Jane, that is EXCELLENT news indeed! I'm gonna go buy me a new shirt just for the occasion!

He noted that the guidelines for the case conform to what the court recommends.

Our schools have been a frequent part of WISC editorial agendas over the years, and yes, Schools of Hope is an important component this year. But we are also looking beyond Schools of Hope in 2013, to a shared vision for public education in Madison and surrounding communities that emphasizes both closing the achievement gap and ensuring the success of all students as they prepare to be contributing members of society.
We intend to borrow heavily from United Way of Dane County CEO Leslie Howard's Achievement Connections goals of accountability and trust, especially in the areas of achievement, behavioral health, parental support and attendance. But we also intend to focus on making sure communities of color feel included, collaboration with the Urban League of Dane County, working with a new school superintendent and school board, and supporting our teachers. Our future is tied to our schools. Our agenda rollout continues tomorrow with Our Government.
