Tiny Lego-like Military Masterpieces: Tribute to Veterans [52 PICS]
Tagged art, forced perspective, Lego, military, military quotes, military transportation, quotes, tribute, US Military, veteran quotes, Veterans Day, WWII
How do you say thank you to a U.S. veteran? For starters, being thankful for our vets one day a year is not nearly enough. We wanted to honor veterans this Veterans Day with a Lego-like military tribute. It seemed to us that the creators and photographers of these tiny military masterpieces were showing their appreciation of our veterans through art. We mixed in some of the photographers' description with some quotes to honor veterans, some words of wisdom from Combat for Dummies and some Murphy's Laws of Combat. So if you are veteran, then kick back, relax and hopefully be entertained by this unique expression of our appreciation. If you know a vet who you'd like to thank, maybe share this with him or her? Happy Veterans Day! [52 Photos]
We honor those Americans who have so bravely served this country. "This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave," ~ quote by Elmer Davis. Photo #1 by leg0fenris
"We, too, born to freedom, and believing in freedom, are willing to fight to maintain freedom. We, and all others who believe as deeply as we do, would rather die on our feet than live on our knees," ~ quote by T. Roosevelt. Photo #2 by Duane Hess

"Deep strike — A Bell 412 gunship provides top cover as troops from NDC's rapid response force, Wolfram, disembark from an EH-191." During an interview with photographer Aleksander Stein, LEGO Military Models asked, "You have an interesting mix of MOCs that you've designed completely yourself, and what I can only describe as "personally-modified-models-of-actual-military-hardware". How did this blend of modelling and "freebuilding" develop?" Stein replied, "Even though I build models of fictional hardware, I always try to make it look as realistic as possible – as if my vehicles could actually have existed. I'm always impressed by all the great real-life models people out there build, and the skill and effort that goes into each one. However, I prefer to add my own personal touch to the stuff I build. Inspiration may also come from more than one specific vehicle, and several of my fictional models have borrowed features from a variety of their real-life equivalents. This blend of modelling and freebuilding gives me enough freedom to do my own stuff, but at the same time adding the challenge (and sometimes restraints) of modelling something accurately/realistically."

"Distant Thunder" the photographer calls this shot. Although the vehicles are fictional, it seems as if it could portray the war in Afghanistan. "But this Veterans Day, I believe we should do more than sing the praises of the bravery and patriotism that our veterans have embodied in the past. We should take this opportunity to re-evaluate how we are treating our veterans in the present," ~ quote by Nick Lampson. Photo #8 by © Aleksander Stein

Battalion Aid Station. The photographer wrote, "Medics provide treatment to casualties at a Battalion Aid Station in early June 1944, as an M3 Half-track rumbles by in a muddy lane behind the bullet-riddled farmhouse wall."

The photographer noted, "After three years of planning and more than a month of building, my B-52 is done." USAF Ammo Troop wisdom: "Cluster bombing from B-52s is very, very accurate. The bombs are guaranteed to always hit the ground." And a U.S. Air Force manual stated, "It is generally inadvisable to eject directly over the area you just bombed."

Medivac Humvee.

Only now have I reached the point where the collection is more-or-less complete and to a standard where I am happy with them, with brick-built canopies instead of non-LEGO ones."

It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the agitator, who has given us the freedom to protest. It is the soldier who salutes the flag, serves beneath the flag, whose coffin is draped by the flag, who gives that protester the freedom to abuse and burn that flag," quote by Zell Miller.

WWII LEGO Vought F4U Corsair. Eurobricks explained, "The Corsair was already under development when the second world war started, but it had a fairly long gestation period. Although the aircraft was designed to fly from aircraft carriers, poor low speed handling and the view over the aircraft's long nose made the US Navy decide that the aircraft was not suitable. Most initial deliveries were to the US Marine Corps for use from land bases. Later in the war, experience with the Corsair in British Royal Navy service and the threat posed by Kamikaze made the US Navy reconsider this decision and towards the end of the war most Essex class carriers, including USS Intrepid, operated Corsairs."

Murphy's Law of Combat: The enemy 'Always' times his attack, to the second you drop your pant's in the Latrine!" But seriously vets, thank you, we appreciate you! God bless America!

Working sheet with the features of the region, Educ. dept. Of the Terezin Memorial.
Basically, there are two types of worksheets newly available for study during the educational programs for elementary schools and lower grades of high schools at the youth seminars, prepared by the Memorial´s Department of Education.
The first kind of the new worksheets serves for interconnecting the region in which the individual students live with the former Terezín Ghetto. At their disposal are 15 worksheets relating to the individual assembly points in the former Protectorate from which Jewish transports were leaving for the Terezín Ghetto.
One specific worksheet is also devoted to the border regions seized by the German Third Reich following the Munich diktat. The students will be given a copy of a transport list with the task of finding for themselves, under a specific number, one person about which they will try to get more information from the available personal documents or Holocaust survivors´ testimony.
The other type of worksheet has been prepared for work during visits to the former Ghetto and is focused on providing additional information on the Ghetto´s key functions – notably as a reception and transit facility, as a decimation camp, and a source of Nazi propaganda. To be found in the worksheet will be various documents, excerpts from the Ghetto´s youth magazines and diaries, paintings made in the Ghetto, photographs etc. The pictorial section is supplemented with assignments relating to the given pictures, all this helping to recreate the atmosphere of the Ghetto.
TEREZÍN GHETTO 1941 – 1945.


Since the 11th Century, the Hohensalzburg Fortress has towered over the city of Salzburg.
Various architectural styles have given this fortress its current impressive form. Today it is the largest, intact fortress construction in Central Europe and has become the most famous symbol of the Festival City.
Even from a distance the fortress in Salzburg can be seen towering over the city's rooftops and the mountain on which the castle rests. However, the first impression that catches the visitor's eye is not the fortress, but rather the magnificent panorama it forms together with the Salzburg's historic city center and the surrounding mountain peaks.
Explore the exterior areas of the fortress on your own, or use an audio guide (available in various languages) to learn more about the castle's interior rooms. Of particular interest in the fortress hall is the antique ceramic tile oven. Children will especially enjoy the Marionette Theater's Museum located in the fortress.
For culture lovers, an experience in Salzburg not to be missed is a concert performed in the fortress hall.

Aspetuck Land Trust announces merger with Monroe Land Trust
By Press Release | June 26, 2021
More on News
Aspetuck Land Trust's holdings now include close to 20 acres of open space in Monroe, including this parcel on Josies Ring Road.
WESTPORT, CT – Aspetuck Land Trust (ALT) announced a merger with the Monroe Land Trust and Tree Conservancy (MLT) that will become effective on July 1.
With the merger, ALT extends its land conservation work from its original four town focus — Easton, Weston, Fairfield and Westport — to five towns. The addition of Monroe brings an additional 20 acres of Monroe conservation lands under ALT's overall watch and protection.
ALT, founded in 1966, will now own or manage more than 2,000 acres of conserved land and have an expanded total membership of more than, 1,700 people. Monroe Land Trust was established about 10 years ago after the predecessor organization, Monroe Field and Woods, was dormant for a number of years. The Monroe Land Trust name will no longer be officially used after July 1 as the landowner of record.
ALT and MLT board members have been in discussion about their two land trusts coming together for several years. The final arrangement was facilitated with the assistance of the Connecticut Land Conservation Council (CLCC).
Land trusts are nonprofit organizations that preserve land through purchase, conservation easements, or donations of property. Properties that are preserved are important habitats for plants and wildlife. They protect water quality, agricultural land, and scenic and historic places. More information on ALT's existing preserves and conservation activity is available on the Aspetuck Land Trust website: aspetucklandtrust.org.
"Our board is very excited to join with Aspetuck Land Trust. We share the same values and commitment to land conservation," said Barbara Thomas, an MLT board member who was instrumental in negotiating the merger.
Thomas also noted the enduring contribution of Karl Witalis, one of the founders of the MLT.
"One of our prime reasons for wanting to merge with Aspetuck is that we know that plants and wildlife don't recognize town borders, and a larger vision for preserving natural areas is necessary," Thomas said. "As a small land trust we struggled to acquire the resources needed to preserve land. We sought to become part of an organization that has more resources and is already making a significant impact in open space preservation."
Bill Kraekel, president Aspetuck Land Trust, echoed Barbara's sentiments.
"The Aspetuck Land Trust has always had a regional view of conservation," he said. "Adding Monroe is a natural extension of our mission and programs. Our Green Corridor initiative takes a holistic view of the landscape that goes beyond town boundaries. That is why we are so excited to have MLT and the town of Monroe join our land trust. We believe that this merger enables us to protect more of the open spaces in our region that are so important to us and future generations."
He noted Monroe has some beautiful undeveloped land, which is becoming rare in Fairfield County. He said the newly constituted Aspetuck Land Trust hopes to partner with landowners to preserve these areas forever for people to enjoy and to support the wildlife that depends on it.
The land assets held by MLT are being transferred to ALT. Barbara Thomas will be joining the ALT Board and MLT members and volunteers will participate on ALT committees and a number of volunteer activities.
"This is a model and an inspiration for other land trusts across the state," said Amy Blaymore Paterson, executive director of CLCC. "We are grateful to the Peter and Carmen Lucia Buck Foundation for underwriting CLCC's program to assist in implementing this merger, which will benefit land conservation in Southwest Connecticut for generations to come."
Monroe lost its gentle giant
MONROE, CT — James Louis Sandor served as Monroe's chief building official for 32 years before retiring in August of 2019. The barrel-chested town employee was known for his vast knowledge, calm demeanor, kindness to all — and his suspenders.

We let the chickens out for a little while yesterday to shake the mud off their feet and have some much needed alone time.
I think the girls, and Pecky, are all sick of this temperamental Spring weather. They've become even more aggressive with each other than usual, and poor Pecky is constantly under attack from four or five of the hens.
Joe is very upset with the hens and their bullying. He even wrote a story about it. He called it "Chickens Don't Listen".
He's a boy after my own heart.
Unfortunately, when we let the chickens out, no one told them that the area of the kitchen garden with orange flags was off limits. I'm sure all the seeds we planted a few weeks ago are in their bellies.
While the girls were roaming, Ray and the boys took a few cuttings from our autumn olive, dipped the ends in rooting hormone and planted them between the trees in the swales.
We are trying to propagate more this year from cuttings. We are hoping at least a few of them will take as they are considered to be invasive.
At the end of the day, Ray cleaned the coop out and moved the girls out of the kitchen garden to start their long trek out to the tall grass and swales. We'll move them daily since the ground is so soft and they are so excited to be on fresh vegetation.
Once they are out in the swales, maybe they will pick on eachother less.

Q: Why my output is "()" and how can i fix it? I do work with text rotate from a txt file, I'm stuck on the simplest thing - output back to the same file. At the end of the program, "()" appears in the test file (output.txt). I know I need to rewrite main2 somehow, but I don't know how exactly. There is problem with side effects, I think. So, what to do? I will be happy to get your help
import System.IO

getPixel :: [[Char]] -> Int -> Int -> Char
getPixel img x y
  | x >= 0 && x < width && y >= 0 && y < height = img !! y !! x
  | otherwise = ' '
  where
    height = length img
    width = length $ head img

rotate :: Double -> (Double, Double) -> (Double, Double)
rotate a (x, y) = (x * cos a + y * sin a, -x * sin a + y * cos a)

main :: IO ()
main = do
    output <- main2
    writeFile "output.txt" (show output)

main2 :: IO ()
main2 = do
    image <- lines <$> readFile "input.txt"
    mapM_ putStrLn $ do
        y <- [0 .. 30]
        return $ do
            x <- [0 .. 40]
            let (x', y') = rotate (pi/3) (x-5, y-1)
            return $ getPixel image (floor x') (floor y')

A:
At the end of the program, () appears in the test file (output.txt)

Well the reason it writes () is because the signature of main2 is main2 :: IO (). This means that output in output <- main2 will be the unit type [wiki], and thus show () will return the string "()".
But you actually do not need to use mapM_ here in the first place. You can make a function that will, for a given [[Char]] generate a list of chars, for example:
rotateImg :: (Int -> Int -> Char) -> [Int] -> [Int] -> [[Char]]
rotateImg getPix ys xs = [
    [ getPix (floor x) (floor y) | x' <- xs, let (x, y) = rotate (pi/3) (fromIntegral (x'-5), fromIntegral (y'-1)) ]
    | y' <- ys
  ]
So then we can define in the main a function that reads then image info, rotates the image, and finally writes the rotated image to a file (or prints it to the stdout):
main :: IO ()
main = do
    image <- lines <$> readFile "input.txt"
    let image2 = rotateImg (getPixel image) [0..30] [0..40]
    writeFile "output.txt" (unlines output)

A: Change main2 :: IO () to main2 :: [Char]. Oh and mapM_ to mapM.
I can't see anything else off, so that should fix it.

You must choose types of understory plants that can grow in the amount of light allowed in by the canopy of taller trees. Allocation 9 IV. Understory cover was relatively sparse (0–40% cover) under residual canopy but increased dramatically within the strips and clear-cut areas (50–100% cover). "The Overstory" moves the way an open field evolves into a thick forest: slowly, then inevitably. Consists of old dead xylem cells that no longer carry water. Having plants in all vertical layers, including the understory, allows ground-, shrub-, and treetop-dwelling wildlife to exist in the same horizontal space ( Figure 1 ). A natural shelterwood with overstory retention was used to release the natural understory, while maintaining structural diversity in the overstory. To investigate climatic, spatial, temporal, and environmental patterns associated with hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) cases in the Four Corners region, we collected exposure site data for HPS cases that occurred in 1993 to 1995. the overstory species Fagus grandifolia, Magnolia grandiflora, Pinus glabra and Liquidambar styraciflua, and the understory species Ostrya virginiana and Ilex opaca. Coniferous Trees: 20" diameter or larger for trees in the cedrus (deodar cedar), Thuja (Arborvitae), or other ecologically similar trees, Overstory Trees: 30-inch diameter or larger for trees in the Liquidambar (Sweetgum) or Liriodendron (Tulip poplar) genus 20-inch diameter or larger for trees in. These facts include all the important information you need to know about this layer of the rainforest including what animals and plants can be found there. The branches of a tree make its crown. The data are a compilation of field-observed data from 1,216 locations (mostly on a plot basis) obtained from 554 literature sources published between 1932-2011. GEOGRAPHY & TOPOGRAPHY Piñon-juniper woodlands are generally found on plateaus, foothills, rocky outcroppings,. The land then went dormant until the market for hardwood logs developed after World War II. While the canopy, or overstory, may be composed of one to a dozen tree species, depending on the ecosystem, many more plant species tend to be found in the understory (Table 1). As before, the growth measurements. A forest researcher from Indiana has defined old-growth stands in the state as having overstory trees >150-years-old, little human-caused understory disturbance during the past 80-to-100 years, all-aged structure, and a multi-layer canopy with dominant trees of 30-to-60 inches in stem diameter. Sample plots to characterize pretreatment conditions and post-treatment responses of overstory structure, forest floor, and understory vegetation were arrayed on a 60-m systematic grid, established 60 m from the treatment boundaries within the units (i. Pre- and post-harvesting overstory trees were mapped and measured for total height and diameter at breast height (DBH); understory trees were measured for total height. Understory re-initiation stage (also called the transition stage) occurs when the overstory beings to thin out, allowing light to reach the forest floor and regeneration of the understory to occur. Processes such as photosynthesis and transpiration are modeled at the canopy stratum level. "Raw materials" for purposes of this definition shall include organic materials such as straw, hay, animal feeds, sawdust, mulches, and like items. Having plants in all vertical layers, including the understory, allows ground-, shrub-, and treetop-dwelling wildlife to exist in the same horizontal space ( Figure 1 ). Only a small percentage of light penetrates the canopy so understory vegetation is generally shade tolerant. The southeastern United States has millions of acres of oak dominated forests that have a closed canopy with limited herbaceous and shrub understory that northern bobwhite require. "Alternative 2 was designed to maintain a greater overstory presence of trees in excess of two hundred years of age while removing enough overstory to encourage understory development. These facts include all the important information you need to know about this layer of the rainforest including what animals and plants can be found there. The understory may represent a very significant fraction of canopy leaf area index. Abstract A 44-year-old experiment was used to address the long-term effects of establishment methods and timing, scarification and overstory density on understory spruce growth. " Because some birds typical forage or nest in certain layers, it is important to have more than one layer. The result was a characterization of over 30 different fire regimes. In general, biodiversity is highest in the Forest canopy which can be divided into five layers: overstory canopy with emergent crowns, a medium layer of canopy, lower canopy, shrub level, and finally understory. Mid‐canopy and understory trees will also likely become vulnerable to drought conditions once the overstory canopy becomes thinner, and a stronger drying effect is exerted on these trees. Forest clear-cutting by people repre-sents a disturbance roughly akin in severity to heavy windfall or to canopy-killing fire if harvested sites are burned after cutting. It takes time for a tree canopy and subsequent plant community to evolve on a site. Class III watercourse (No aquatic life present):. For the last time. spatial patterns of overstory trees in late-successional forests will help managers ensure that restoration thinning prescrip-tions achieve their intended result.

Improved Security Analysis for Nonce-based Enhanced Hash-then-Mask MACs 📺 Abstract
Wonseok Choi Byeonghak Lee Yeongmin Lee Jooyoung Lee
In this paper, we prove that the nonce-based enhanced hash-then-mask MAC (nEHtM) is secure up to 2^{3n/4} MAC queries and 2^n verification queries (ignoring logarithmic factors) as long as the number of faulty queries \mu is below 2^{3n/8}, significantly improving the previous bound by Dutta et al. Even when \mu goes beyond 2^{3n/8}, nEHtM enjoys graceful degradation of security. The second result is to prove the security of PRF-based nEHtM; when nEHtM is based on an n-to-s bit random function for a fixed size s such that 1 <= s <= n, it is proved to be secure up to any number of MAC queries and 2^s verification queries, if (1) s = n and \mu < 2^{n/2} or (2) n/2 < s < 2^{n-s} and \mu < max{2^{s/2}, 2^{n-s}}, or (3) s <= n/2 and \mu < 2^{n/2}. This result leads to the security proof of truncated nEHtM that returns only s bits of the original tag since a truncated permutation can be seen as a pseudorandom function. In particular, when s <= 2n/3, the truncated nEHtM is secure up to 2^{n - s/2} MAC queries and 2^s verification queries as long as \mu < min{2^{n/2}, 2^{n-s}}. For example, when s = n/2 (resp. s = n/4), the truncated nEHtM is secure up to 2^{3n/4} (resp. 2^{7n/8}) MAC queries. So truncation might provide better provable security than the original nEHtM with respect to the number of MAC queries.

Highly Secure Nonce-based MACs from the Sum of Tweakable Block Ciphers Abstract
Wonseok Choi Akiko Inoue Byeonghak Lee Jooyoung Lee Eik List Kazuhiko Minematsu Yusuke Naito
Tweakable block ciphers (TBCs) have proven highly useful to boost the security guarantees of authentication schemes. In 2017, Cogliati et al. proposed two MACs combining TBC and universal hash functions: a nonce-based MAC called NaT and a deterministic MAC called HaT. While both constructions provide high security, their properties are complementary: NaT is almost fully secure when nonces are respected (i.e., n-bit security, where n is the block size of the TBC, and no security degradation in terms of the number of MAC queries when nonces are unique), while its security degrades gracefully to the birthday bound (n/2 bits) when nonces are misused. HaT has n-bit security and can be used naturally as a nonce-based MAC when a message contains a nonce. However, it does not have full security even if nonces are unique.This work proposes two highly secure and efficient MACs to fill the gap: NaT2 and eHaT. Both provide (almost) full security if nonces are unique and more than n/2-bit security when nonces can repeat. Based on NaT and HaT, we aim at achieving these properties in a modular approach. Our first proposal, Nonce-as-Tweak2 (NaT2), is the sum of two NaT instances. Our second proposal, enhanced Hash-as-Tweak (eHaT), extends HaT by adding the output of an additional nonce-depending call to the TBC and prepending nonce to the message. Despite the conceptual simplicity, the security proofs are involved. For NaT2 in particular, we rely on the recent proof framework for Double-block Hash-then-Sum by Kim et al. from Eurocrypt 2020.
Indifferentiability of Truncated Random Permutations Abstract
Wonseok Choi Byeonghak Lee Jooyoung Lee
One of natural ways of constructing a pseudorandom function from a pseudorandom permutation is to simply truncate the output of the permutation. When n is the permutation size and m is the number of truncated bits, the resulting construction is known to be indistinguishable from a random function up to $$2^{{n+m}\over 2}$$ queries, which is tight.In this paper, we study the indifferentiability of a truncated random permutation where a fixed prefix is prepended to the inputs. We prove that this construction is (regularly) indifferentiable from a public random function up to $$\min \{2^{{n+m}\over 3}, 2^{m}, 2^\ell \}$$ queries, while it is publicly indifferentiable up to $$\min \{ \max \{2^{{n+m}\over 3}, 2^{n \over 2}\}, 2^\ell \}$$ queries, where $$\ell $$ is the size of the fixed prefix. Furthermore, the regular indifferentiability bound is proved to be tight when $$m+\ell \ll n$$.Our results significantly improve upon the previous bound of $$\min \{ 2^{m \over 2}, 2^\ell \}$$ given by Dodis et al. (FSE 2009), allowing us to construct, for instance, an $$\frac{n}{2}$$-to-$$\frac{n}{2}$$ bit random function that makes a single call to an n-bit permutation, achieving $$\frac{n}{2}$$-bit security.

NOBULL: Feeding antibiotics to livestock is bad for humans, but Congress won't stop it — WP
Report: Feeding antibiotics to livestock is bad for humans, but Congress won't stop it
By Melinda Henneberger, Updated: Tuesday, October 22, 9:27 AM
The farm and pharmaceutical lobbies have blocked all meaningful efforts to reduce the use of antibiotics in raising livestock in America, a practice that contributes to a major public health risk, a study released Tuesday found.
The report says Congress has killed every effort to legislate a ban on feeding farm animals antibiotics that are important in human medicine. Not only that, but regulation of livestock feeding practices has grown weaker under the Obama administration, the study says.
"Our worst fears were confirmed,'' said Bob Martin, executive director of the Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future, which issued the report. The Food and Drug Administration's statistics, he said, show that fully 80 percent of the antibiotics sold in this country are fed to food animals.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a report last month that found that 23,000 people die from antibiotic-resistant infections each year. The more a particular germ is exposed to antibiotics, the more rapidly it can develop resistance. Although the strongest factor contributing to resistance is overprescribing the drugs to humans, giving antibiotics to food animals adds to the problem, and consumer advocates have continued to push for tighter controls.
The study released Tuesday comes five years after a troubling report on raising livestock was issued by a Pew Charitable Trusts commission of top scientists and ethicists working through the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Industrial farms that are feeding animals antibiotics for breakfast, lunch and dinner are plumping them up at a terrible cost, the 2008 report said, making antibiotics ever-less effective in treating human disease as microbes grew more resistant.
FDA guidelines in the pipeline, Martin said, would require the industry to stop using antibiotics specifically to bulk up cows and other food animals but would continue to allow their use for "disease-control." What constitutes disease-control is so loosely defined, however, that there would be "no change" in the use of antibiotics, Martin said.
"In a couple of areas, the Obama administration started off with good intentions. But when industry pushed back, even weaker rules were issued," he said. "We saw undue influence everywhere we turned."
In a response via e-mail Monday evening, an FDA spokeswoman wrote that "an important step the FDA is taking to address this issue is to phase out the use of medically important antibiotics in food animals for growth promotion and feed efficiency. FDA believes these drugs should be used only in situations where they are necessary for treating, controlling, or preventing a specifically identified disease, and only under the oversight of a veterinarian."
The Johns Hopkins report, however, notes that the definition of "oversight by a veterinarian" has been changed and no longer means much.
The FDA says it has a strategy to "effectively phase out production uses of medically important antimicrobials" and "has worked closely with stakeholders, including the pharmaceutical industry, animal producers, veterinarians, consumer groups, and public health organizations to ensure the success of this strategy. However, FDA's approach does not rule out future regulatory action to ensure the judicious use of these important drugs."
The 2008 Pew report also focused on the environmental consequences of disposing of livestock waste and said regulators should identify and regulate the industrial farms that together are responsible for producing 500 million metric tons of waste a year in this country. Right now, Martin said, only about a third of these operations are regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency: "We said, 'Look, we've got to know where they are. They're industrial in scale and ought to be regulated as such.' ''
And what came of that recommendation? "The Obama administration started an inventory process" in the spring of 2012, Martin said, "but under pressure, they backed off. I think they were worried about losing Iowa and Minnesota in the presidential race."
Rep. Louise M. Slaughter (D-N.Y.), who is a microbiologist by training, has been trying for 14 years to get Congress to pass the Preservation of Antibiotics for Medical Treatment Act. "No way,'' she said, is the Republican-controlled House going to take up her proposed legislation.
But the reluctance to regulate more strictly crosses party lines. Even when the Democrats controlled Congress, Slaughter said, "I never had more than 50 co-sponsors" for the bill.
With thousands of people a year dying of infections resistant to antibiotics, "this is a national emergency," she said. "Scientists are saying strep throat is going to become a fatal disease" if resistance to antibiotics continues to spread.
Regulators, as well as lawmakers, have long given into industry pressure, according to Slaughter. In the 1970s, the FDA announced that the two classes of antibiotics used then in both human medicine and livestock production should not be routinely fed to animals, Slaughter said.
But the agency has been backpedaling ever since, she said, "because the lobbying on this is fierce." The FDA and the Agriculture Department "were supposed to protect consumers" but instead protect producers, Slaughter added.
Cows, chickens and hogs, she said, are raised "in wretched, unspeakable conditions" but kept healthy through the use of antibiotics that "do make the animals fatter, and we all eat that junk."
The report released Tuesday notes that when Congress has taken action, it has been to lessen farm safety regulations, rather than increase them. In 2011, Rep. Kristi L. Noem (R-S.D.) introduced the Farm Dust Regulation Prevention Act, which would have exempted farm dust from regulation by the EPA under the Clean Air Act. The bill passed the House but not the Senate, so it never became law.
"The effort was significant, because it exemplified the push for legislation that preempts agricultural reforms," the report says.
"This effort was also notable,'' the authors added, "because the EPA had not made any attempt to regulate farm dust."
