'Children as young as four are being given Ritalin-style medication for behavioural problems in breach of NHS guidelines, the Guardian has discovered, prompting the leading psychological society to call for a national review.
...
There are no reliable figures for how many children under six have been given Ritalin. But Professor Tim Kendall, joint director of the National Collaborating Centre for Mental Health, who chaired the Nice guideline committee, confirmed that he had heard reliable reports of children in nursery and pre-school being prescribed medication unnecessarily, and that it was often parents who were putting pressure on GPs. He said: "There are two reasons why parents go shopping for a diagnosis. The first is to improve their child's performance at school, and the second is to get access to benefits. There are always GPs that will do it, but it's wrong to give a child a diagnosis without also consulting schools and teachers."

'STANTON, Ky. — The arrest of a Croatian woman in small-town Kentucky for alleged war crimes two decades ago in the former Yugoslavia "brings her long run from justice to an end," a U.S. marshal said.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Robert E. Wier ordered that Azra Basic, 52, be held without bond pending an April 1 status hearing and appointed her a lawyer.
...
As a soldier in the Croatian army, she killed a prisoner and tortured others by forcing them to drink human blood and gasoline, authorities said.
...
Court documents accuse her of numerous other atrocities, including: Setting a prisoner ablaze, pulling out prisoners' fingernails with pliers, ripping off a man's ear with pliers and carving crosses and the letter "S" into another man's flesh.'

This is from the comments section of "Illegal Guardians." A link would be better but the comment is too hard to find amid all the others. But I think it's a classic compilation of male/female 2x standards:

Men seeking equal treatment = “backlash”
Women seeking equal treatment = “feminism”
Discrimination against men = “equal opportunity”
Discrimination against women = “discrimination”
A woman with grievances = “victim”
A man with grievances = “angry”
Open discussion of gender issues = “misogyny”
Men looking for equal treatment in the courts = “abuse”

'The innocent man who was wrongly imprisoned for nearly four years because of false rape charges is now suing the city for his ordeal. William McCaffery is seeking $20 million in compensatory damages, as well as another $10 million for what he calls "conduct...so outrageous as to exceed the bounds of all common and civilized decency."

"I wrote yesterday about International Women’s Day, saying that despite the improvements of recent decades, women are still not treated as the social, legal or economic equals of men. It’s particularly the case in many parts of the developing world, but, I said, a problem in Britain as well, as the gender pay gap shows.

Unsurprisingly some of you disagreed. One of the ones who did so intelligently (and calmly, which was a rare treat) was Elly, author of the Quiet Riot Girl blog and holder of a PhD in gender equality studies. I offered her the chance to respond, which she’s done. I’ll reprint an extract here – you can read the rest of it on her blog.

Story here. Excerpt:

'A mother-of-four has appeared in court accused of biting off her boyfriend's testicles in a drunken attack.

Martin Douglas, 45, underwent emergency surgery to reattach his genitals after the alleged attack by Maria Topp.

Mr Douglas, a DJ, called 999 in excruciating pain and operators struggled to understand what he was saying.

Paramedics who attended his flat in Newcastle called police and Topp was arrested.

She has since appeared in court charged with GBH over the February 18 incident in which Mr Douglas was also injured in the arm, the Daily Mirror reported.

The victim was forced to spend several days in hospital recovering from his injuries.'

File this under 'male disposability', and once again notice the fact that they are all men. While this article actually refers to these men as men, I have seen others that have referred to them just as 'workers'-- invisible behind their occupations and prescribed gender roles as all-around disposable "heroes". Such "nameless" bravery deserves better, don't you think? Excerpt:

'They are the nameless brave men who are working as the last line of defense at Japan's crippled Fukushima nuclear plants. They stayed behind while everyone else was sent nearly 15 miles away and radiation soars to menacing levels.

There are 200 of them and they work in shifts of 50, earning the inaccurate nickname the Fukushima 50.

At one point, even these men were pulled back 500 yards from the deteriorating nuke plants, but this morning it appears the crisis team was heading back in.

A 27-year-old woman whose Twitter name is @NamicoAoto tweeted earlier this week that her father had volunteered for Fukushima duty.'

Each year the federal government spends $84 million for DV education and training programs that smear men as abusers and batterers.

It’s time to pull the funding for this nonsense, until these programs get accredited. This flyer was passed out to all the Senators and Representatives on Capitol Hill today.

Help spread the word.

Story here. A woman threw a party, gave alcohol to minors, and then raped a 14 year old boy while she was at it. What did our society do to send a message to its taxpayers? The judge gave her 30 days in jail. I would like to see the history of the judges cases whereby men were faced with the same crime, and a comparison of the judges sentences. I would bet that there would be enough evidence to prove sexual bias in the sentences. Any sharp lawyers out there? Would this be possible? Excerpt:

'ASTORIA, Ore. (AP) — An Astoria woman has been sentenced to 30 days in jail for raping a 14-year-old boy at a party.

The Daily Astorian reports that 35-year-old Julie Diane Green pleaded no contest last Friday to rape and endangering the welfare of a minor.

Prosecutors said Green held a party for her children and their friends last August, allowed several minors to drink alcohol and then had sex with one of the visiting 14-year-olds.'

'A MOTHER-of-four has been jailed for 20 years for molesting her two-year-old daughter under instructions from a teenage Walsall pervert.

Julie Carr, aged 33, filmed the horrific abuse live on a webcam from her home in Mars Hill, Maine, North East America, for Nicholas Wilde.

“What you have done is violate the most basic bond of society — the bond between a mother and her child, the bond between a mother and her daughter,” US Judge John Woodcock told Carr before sentencing her.'

'Boy culture is out of sync with school culture. There are several reasons for this, including zero tolerance policies that are too often taken to extremes, the lack of male teachers (the statistics are shocking, having dropped from 14 percent to 7 percent in the elementary classroom in the past decade), and the compression of the curriculum.

Even more, boy culture is not socially accepted more generally and, consequently, boys quickly come to feel that they aren’t good at school, where the friction tends to be the most obvious.

The results are startling — globally in the most recent set of tests, boys scored lower than girls in early literacy skills in every country tested. Several authors have done a wonderful job of explaining these problems and discussing them in clear terms, including Peg Tyre (“The Trouble with Boys”), Ralph Fletcher (“Boy Writers: Reclaiming Their Voices”) and Richard Whitmire with his work on “Why Boys Fail”: http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/whyboysfail.'

'Happiness doesn't feature in the more radical agendas either, such as the New York Radical Feminists manifesto, which prescribed that women construct "healthy, independent, assertive" alternative selves, and lives. Robin Morgan saw liberation as an "oppressed people raising their consciousness toward something that is the other side of anger, something bright and smooth and cool." But not happy, per se.

Happiness isn't just a rare word. It wasn't feminism's backbeat or its implied manifesto, either.

Betty Friedan wrote in "The Feminine Mystique," Surely there are many women in America who are happy at the moment as housewives. But happiness is not the same thing as the aliveness of being fully used."'

Necas and the defence, foreign and culture ministers, Alexandr Vondra, Karel Schwarzenberg and Jiri Besser, respectively, decided that the Czech embassy in Japan will say who will board the planes, military staff spokeswoman Jana Ruzickova told CTK.'
