Encarnacion Bail Romero was sentenced to two years in a fed- eral prison after pleading guilty to aggravated identity theft. She has been seeking to regain cus- tody of her now 4-year-old son, Carlos, since leaving prison last year. The child has lived with Seth and Melinda Moser, of Carthage, since he was about 1 year old. Another couple who had been helping Romero’s family care for the boy after her arrest had con- tacted the Mosers about adopt- ing him. The Mosers’ attorneys have said the court terminated Romero’s parental rights in 2008 after finding she had not tried to maintain contact or provide for the child while she was in jail Romero’s lawyers contend the adoption process was flawed and that Romero was not given sufficient legal representation before losing custody of her son, who was born in the U.S. and is a U.S. citizen. The state Supreme Court agreed to take up the case after an appellate court overturned the trial court decision that gave custody to the adoptive parents. Much of the discussion before the high court Tuesday focused on the legal intricacies of the case. However, Supreme Court Judge Richard Teitelman called the case a “tragedy.” Rick Schnake, an attorney for the Mosers, said Romero aban- doned her child after the immi- gration sweep and left few options for who should care for the boy. Schnake said the boy would be better off staying with the couple, with whom he has lived for several years and who speak the same language as him. “I don’t see it in his best inter- est that he be ... taken away from parents who are the only mommy and daddy that he knows,” Schnake said. The Mosers stood several feet behind Schnake as he spoke with a clus- ter of reporters. They did not comment. Romero was not immediately deported so that she can chal- lenge the adoption, according to her attorneys. They say she never abandoned her son and that a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling has since limited federal authorities’ ability to use the law under which she was sentenced to prison. Speaking through a translator, Romero told reporters after the hearing that she was pleased to be in court when the case was considered. She said she was thankful her son was healthy but sad that she was not with him. “My child should be with me. He is my son. And I want to be with my son,” Romero said. The hearing generated signifi- cant interest. Among those watching was Guatemala’s ambassador to the U.S., who sat near Romero at the front of the room. The Mosers listened near the back of the courtroom. page 6 The Observer N CAMPUS NEWS Wednesday, November 10, 2010

In a more lighthearted moment, Bush said in inter- view that aired Tuesday on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” that writing the memoir "was an easy process." “A lot of people don't think I can read, much less write,” he joked. As in the book, Bush also recounted to Winfrey the mis- takes of his presidency, saying he still feels “sick” about the fact no weapons of mass destruction were found in Iraq. His response to Hurricane Katrina could have been quicker, he said, and he acknowledged he didn't see the financial meltdown com- ing. Bush, however, had nothing negative to say about President Barack Obama, whom Winfrey famously supported in 2008. “I didn't like it when people criticized me,” Bush said. “And so you're not going to see me out there chirping away (at Obama). And I want our presi- dent to succeed. I love our country.” Largely out of the public view since he left office, Bush is now vigorously promoting his book, with planned appear- ances across the country this week and as the Miami Book Fair International's featured author this weekend. Bush even called in to con- servative commentator Rush Limbaugh's radio program Tuesday, voicing support for an extension of his administra- tion's tax cuts and denying reports he privately criticized fellow Republican John McCain's choice of Sarah Palin as his vice presidential running mate. But when asked his opinion about Arizona's con- troversial immigration legisla- tion, Bush told Limbaugh: “you're trying to get me to make news.” “I don't want to make news, I want to sell books of course,” Bush said laughing. His memoir does offer reve- lations though, including his confirmation that the target of a 2007 Israeli airstrike was a Syrian nuclear reactor and suggestion he quietly approved the action. Bush also reveals Israel first asked the U.S. to bomb the site, but his adminis- tration refused.

The first 21st birthday: Every group has to have a first 21st birth- day, which is an exciting one because you realize that your day of glory is within striking distance. There can be an awkwardness factor involved, however, as you may have to throw a party that goes something like this: “Happy birthday, friend!

The 21st birthdays between the first 21st birthday and yours: Depending on where you fall in your group’s age structure, this can be an excruciating. If you’re the youngest in your group, you may get frustrated because you’re the farthest from your own 21st birthday. Regardless, you’ll become impatient with waiting at some point, usually after the birthday immediately preceding yours. 4. The last 21st birthday: This 21st birthday is probably the best one after your own. For the last one, nobody in the group can be excluded from the activities because they’re not legal to drink. As long as you drink responsi- bly, you and your friends can pretty much do whatever you want without having to worry about someone get- ting in trouble. As a result, your youngest friend’s birthday will undoubtedly have the best party because all of your friends can attend, along with some of the kids in the QUOTE OF THE DAY QUOTE OF THE DAY grade below you who were the firsts in their own group.

The Irish women’s basketball team begins its season Friday at 4 p.m., but the contest against New Hampshire will represent more than just a game — it’ll also be a chance to celebrate. The 2010-11 season commemorates the 10th anniversary of the program’s only national champi- onship team. The members of that legendary 2000-01 squad will be here Nov. 12 to 14 for a series of events to start the season with the historic championship in mind. The champion team began its season ranked No. 6 in Marissa Frobes the pre-season AP poll. They returned three starters: sophomore Alicia Ratay, All-American senior Ruth Scene Writer Riley and fifth-year player Niele Ivey, who is now in her fourth year as an assistant coach for the Irish.

They astonishingly beat UConn in the Big East tourna- ment, ending the Huskies’ 30-game winning streak, along with its rank as No. 1 in the nation. Ultimately, the Irish snagged the championship in a close 68-66 defeat of Purdue at the Savvis Center in St. Louis. This year’s team kicks off the season ranked No. 12 by the AP Top 25 and ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll with two returning starters, sophomore phenom Skylar Diggins and senior Becca Bruszewski. Since 2001, Connecticut has earned five NCAA championships, including the last two. Perhaps the visit from the 2001 champions, who stole the No. 1 ranking of UConn in a 92-76 upset, will inspire this year’s team to vanquish Connecticut’s top spot.

Above: Niele Ivey landed the cover of the March 30, 2001 Irish Insider as she led the team to the national championship in St. Louis. Left: Ivey (left) is now a coach to the team that includes Skylar Diggins (center) and Devereaux Peters.

They have some great ingredients to be able to do so: Coach Muffet McGraw, who led that team to glory; Diggins, comparable to the title squad’s sophomore guard Alicia Ratay; and help from someone who was there — Ivey, McGraw’s current assistant. The national title team will sign autographs before Friday’s game against New Hampshire, reunite on the Purcell Pavilion floor at halftime, and take the field at the football game against Utah Saturday for another celebration.
