I'm Standing With Pat
I am proud to say I have been a viewer, reader, and supporter of Pat Buchanan for decades. I have watched all the different shows that he has either participated in or founded. His career as a commentator has stretched from the 1970's with his radio program the Buchanan – Barden Program and his commentaries for NBC. His work in television has helped shape a whole industry of imitators. He founded Crossfire on CNN and was a founding member of the McLaughlin Group. He was also a founding member of the Capital Gang on PBS.
As a journalist he started at 23 as the youngest editorial writer on a major newspaper in America: The St. Louis Globe-Democrat. He then became the first full-time staffer on Richard Nixon's legendary comeback campaign in 1966. He traveled with the future President in the campaigns of 1966 and 1968, served as special assistant through the final days of Watergate, and stayed on in the Ford White House until 1974. He returned to the White House in the 1980's as Communications Director for Ronald Reagan.
In his White House years, Mr. Buchanan wrote foreign policy speeches, and attended four summits, including Mr. Nixon's historic opening to China in 1972, and Ronald Reagan's Reykjavik summit in1986 with Mikhail Gorbachev.
In 1992 Pat made a heroic run for the presidency against President George H. W. Bush, seriously challenging Bush, and winning 38 percent of the votes in the New Hampshire primary garnering more than three million total votes in the primaries. His speech, the Culture War speech, at the Republican Convention still stirs the hearts of Americans.
In 1996 he ran for the presidency again. His opponents were Senator Bob Dole, Senator Phil Gramm of Texas, former Tennessee Governor Lamar Alexander, and publisher Steve Forbes. Pat defeated Senator Bob Dole in the New Hampshire primary, he won three other states (Alaska, Missouri, and Louisiana), and finished only slightly behind Dole in the Iowa caucus. He eventually bowed out of the race when it became apparent that Dole, the establishment candidate was going to win the nomination.
In 2000 Pat ran for President as the candidate of the Reform Party, which had been founded by Ross Perot in the 1990's. He lost this bid receiving 449,895 votes, 0.4% of the popular vote.
Pat has written ten books, including six straight New York Times best sellers A Republic, Not an Empire; The Death of the West; Where the Right Went Wrong; State of Emergency; Day of Reckoning and Churchill, Hitler and The Unnecessary War. All of which I have read and highly recommend. His newest book is The Greatest Comeback.
He is the founder of The American Conservative the flagship magazine for paleoconservative thought and his editorials are found all over the web.
In other words Pat Buchanan, in my estimation, is a national treasure and the Godfather of the Paleoconservative. As I said, I am proud to identify as a follower of Pat Buchanan, his politics, and his thoughts.
In its effort to mobilize support for the latest round of Free Trade giveaways that bastion of Neocon Globalization, the Wall Street Journal has tried to use Pat Buchanan as a whipping boy. They have tried to lay the blame for their own pet policies at the door of the one man who more than anyone else has tried to warn us about the very consequences that are dragging us from the first world to the third.
In an editorial dated May 10th 2015 the Journal said:
Here we go again. In the 1990s Pat Buchanan launched a civil war within the Republican Party on a platform targeting immigration and trade. Some claimed Pitchfork Pat was the future of the GOP, though in the end he mainly contributed to its presidential defeats.
In the waning days of the Obama Presidency the GOP's Buchanan wing is making a comeback, and in ways that are revealing about its ultimate agenda. The leader of this movement in Congress is Jeff Sessions, who has long railed against illegal immigration but since becoming chairman of the Senate's subcommittee on immigration has taken a more public stance against legal immigration.
Now he's opposing the bipartisan effort to pass trade promotion authority and in the process showing that his objections aren't only about the law or immigrants. They're rooted in the same hostility to markets and globalization that animates the slow-growth Democratic left.
This is like the man who convinced you to sell your house for a bag of magic beans blaming the man who told you a house is worth more than beans for you ending up with a bag of beans.
Pat warned us about NAFTA, GATT and MFN for China. He told us these things would lead to the gutting of American manufacturing. The Wall Street Journal and the Amen Choir over at the Chamber of Commerce cheered them on. What has been the result? Between 2000 and 2010, 55,000 U.S. factories closed and 5 million to 6 million manufacturing jobs disappeared along with the middle class lives they used to provide.
Since these Free Trade boondoggles have been shoved down our throats we have consistently run multibillion dollar trade deficits with China. Last year's deficit was $325 billion, or twice China's defense budget. It is all this money draining from our economy to China's that allows them to build a world-class military that is poised to challenge America for supremacy in Asia.
The Journal accuses Pat of being anti-growth. However as Pat points out, "as trade surpluses add to a nation's GDP, trade deficits subtract from it. Does the Journal think our $11 trillion in trade deficits since 1992 represents a pro-growth policy?"
Back in 1992 when there were 3 or 4 million illegals in America. Pat campaigned to secure the borders. That didn't happen and now there are 11, 12, who knows how many million illegals and more pouring in every day. Is this good for America or is it bad? The Journal and the open borders crowd call Pat a xenophobe. I call him a patriot.
Pat has also called for a moratorium on immigration as we had from 1924-1965 so that those who are here can be assimilated and become Americanized. I believe that one reason America is great, one reason why we have developed the most vibrant and lively society in the History of the world is because we have subsumed the best people from everywhere. All of us except the Native Americans are immigrants. We have come from every country on the globe. And together we have morphed into one people. We used to brag about the great melting pot of American society. This is what Pat is urging we once again use to incubate our newer arrivals as they become us. Instead the Journal and the other hyphenated American cheerleaders urge us to become a smelting pot leading to what Teddy Roosevelt called, a "polyglot boarding-house"
Now that 100% of the job growth since 2000 has gone to immigrants. Now that illegals feel secure enough to emerge from the shadows and hold public demonstrations outside the White House as well as in the middle of major cities. Now that schools are forced to teach in dozens sometimes hundreds of different languages. Now that more than 60.6 million or 20.8 or 1/5 of American households do not speak English in their homes. Now that this is the reality we all face who was right about the open borders? Pat who wanted us to take a break and assimilate our new arrivals or those who wanted the cheap labor and the support of undocumented voters?
What about our rapidly deteriorating foreign policy? Pat supported the attack on the Taliban in Afghanistan but counseled a quick withdrawal once its objectives had been met. He opposed the invasion of Iraq pointing out that this country had not attacked us and did not pose a threat to our vital interests. The Neocon leadership still has us nation building in Afghanistan, and Iraq has become the quagmire Pat predicted.
If we had been following Pat's advice on trade, immigration, and foreign policy we would be safer, richer, and more secure.
If the Neocons are going to use Pat Buchanan as a whipping boy they should know there are those who see him for what he really is: a visionary, a leader, a patriot, and a great American. So when it comes to the current debate over who lost America I'm standing where I have for decades. I'm standing with Pat.

The Nazi roots of Palestinian nationalism
By David Storobin, Esq., a New York attorney and editor-in-chief of the Global Politician (GlobalPolitician.com), an online journal of politics, economics and world affairs.Jewish Press, January 12, 2005.
"Our fundamental condition for cooperating with Germany was a free hand to eradicate every last Jew from Palestine and the Arab world.
"The Mufti was one of the initiators of the systematic extermination of European Jewry and had been a collaborator and adviser of Eichmann and Himmler in the execution of this plan… He was one of Eichmanns best friends and had constantly incited him to accelerate the extermination measures."
Adolf Eichmann`s deputy Dieter Wisliceny in his Nuremberg Trials testimony.
Within weeks of Adolf Hitler`s ascendance to power, Mufti of Jerusalem Haj Amin al-Husseini contacted the German counsel-general in Palestine. With the exception of funding some anti-Semitic riots, Germans rejected the Arab`s overtures until 1937, when Adolf Eichmann and Herbert Hagen were sent to Palestine to establish a framework to provide Husseini with military and financial aid by Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy.
Then, the Mufti had already proven his anti-Jewish credentials to the Germans by organizing a three-year-long series of riots and massacres.
On April 19, 1936, a crowd of Arabs stumbled upon Jews in the town of Jaffa. Having been incited by Mufti-spread rumors that Zionists were killing Muslims, the crowd decided to kill three of the Jews they met. Six days later, the Arab Higher Committee was created, with al-Husseini presiding over the new body. The committee openly endorsed past violence and began organizing future terror.
On May 5, the British colonial authorities warned al-Husseini against committing illegal acts but did not appear particularly decisive, leading the Arab to conclude that he could organize mass violence with impunity. By October 1936, nearly 300 people were killed and another 1,100 wounded.
Colonial forces arrested a few pawns and one major leader, but took no action against the Mufti. The New York Times reported on June 14, 1936 that al-Husseini had succeeded in convincing experienced high British civil servants that he is working for the government`s interests [and that] it was in the interest of the government that he should also be president of the new Arab High Committee, so that Haj Amin el-Husseini enjoys the government`s complete confidence as its unofficial adviser on the Arab side of the situation….
The government believes that he and only he is in a position to appease the Moslem masses; therefore it gives him every support while at the same time playing into his hands.
Continuing its policy of siding with the Mufti, in June the Brits arrested scores of members of the Defense Party sponsored by the rival Nashashibi clan, despite lack of any evidence that the Nashashibis were involved in the massacres. Ninety percent of Arabs in the Sinai concentration camp belonged to the Defense Party, with another 10 percent coming from smaller political movements. None of the Husseini-backed people were sent to the camp.
The UK was not the only power helping the Mufti in 1936. The USSR-sponsored Communist Party of Palestine also did its part. After the 1929 massacres (including the slaughter of 68 Jews in Hebron), the Communist Party issued a statement that revolutionary movement without pogroms [anti-Semitic riots] is impossible. The Communists even considered the Mufti too moderate in his fight against Jews.
In the run-up to the 1936-39 riots, the Palestinian leader began coordinating the organization of anti-Jewish violence. In November 1935, Communists declared that Zionists were killing Arabs, helping the Mufti`s propaganda campaign to spark Arab rage against the Jews.
On the eve of the first riots, Communists met al-Husseini to work out the final terms of their roles in the upcoming violence. Communist Party member Nimr Uda became the intelligence chief for the Mufti`s military units. Another Communist representative, Fuad Nasir, was named deputy to Abdul Qadir Husseini, commander of Arab fighters in the southern West Bank.
By 1937, Britain realized the Mufti was sponsoring the violence not just against Jews, but against the English as well. Al-Husseini fled Jerusalem and settled in Lebanon. So glad were the British to see the Mufti leave that they did not even bother to ask the French powers governing Lebanon to extradite him.
Meanwhile, in an attempt to please the Arabs, the UK`s Peel Commission violated the League of Nations Mandate by offering a proposal to divide the land designated as the Jewish National Home by the League of Nations Mandate of 1922. Instead, under the Peel Commission proposal of 1937, only a small part of the land would become the Jewish state.
A year later, the Peel Commission issued another proposal, with even less land offered to Jews. Some time after that, the British issued the White Paper of 1939 rejecting the idea of a Jewish National Home and severely restricting Jewish immigration. It was hoped for in London that such concessions to Arab nationalists would appease al-Husseini and his supporters. Yet, only two years after the White Paper, the Mufti would come back to strike the British again.
* * *
In 1940 it looked as if Hitlers armada was unstoppable. Having already conquered France, Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Norway, Denmark, Holland, Belgium and Luxembourg, Hitler and his friends in Italy, Spain and the occupied countries were clearly the rulers of continental Europe. Hitler had also allied himself with the USSR under the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact of 1939 which divided Eastern Europe by giving the Baltic states and parts of Poland and Romania to the USSR, while letting the Germans take over western Poland, Romania and other European nations.
Meanwhile, the Japanese were the dominant force of Asia, seemingly set to impose their control on that continent. Britain`s Winston Churchill stood virtually alone against the Fascist onslaught, with the United States mired in radical isolationism, refusing to take part in what many Americans saw as a European war.
The one region where the British still had significant influence was the Middle East. Hitler set out to change that. Al-Husseini wanted to get rid of the Hashemite-clan rulers in Iraq and Transjordan. Both men wanted to get rid of the Jews and the Brits. It was a marriage made in heaven.
Despite boasting a powerful navy, the United Kingdom had an army that was modest in size and spread too thin. The Middle East, especially Iraq, seemed likely to be the next pawn to fall to the Third Reich.
In 1940, King Ghazi (son of King Faisal I) died, leaving only his four-year-old son to govern. Emir Abdul-Illah, the regent for the young Iraqi king, felt the need to bring Rashid Ali al-Kaylani into the government as the prime minister, despite the latter`s support for Nazi Germany and links with al-Husseini. The new head of state immediately shifted the policies of Iraq in favor of Nazi Germany, guaranteeing supply of natural resources to Hitler and refusing to cut ties with Italy.
The former Mufti of Jerusalem and his surrogates frequently acted as the government`s representatives with foreigners. Kaylani also asked from Hitler the right to deal with Jews in Arab states a request that was granted.
Britain responded with severe economic sanctions which, coupled with the UK`s initial defeat of German forces in North Africa and pressure from the Iraqi royal family, brought down the pro-German government on January 31, 1941. Kaylani and other pro-Axis Iraqis, under the influence of al-Husseini, conspired, unsuccessfully, to murder Abdul-Illah. But thanks to widespread support for Kaylani among government officials, he was back in power two months later.
As one of its first acts, the restored pro-German administration sent its artillery to attack the British air base at Habbaniya, causing the Brits to respond by invading Basra. The hoped-for support from Nazi Germany never came and Kaylani eventually fled to Saudi Arabia.
Haj Amin al-Husseini, who issued a fatwa (Islamic religious ruling) calling on all Muslims to help the pro-Axis government in Iraq, became one of England`s most wanted men. In May 1941, a group of Jewish fighters, including David Raziel, leader of the right-wing Irgun, set out for Iraq to assassinate the former Mufti on a mission sponsored by the Churchill government. The mission ended prematurely when Raziel was killed by a bomb dropped from a German plane. Aware that his life was in danger, al-Husseini fled to Europe dressed as a woman.
On November 28, 1941 the former Mufti was officially received by Hitler, who agreed to establish a bureau for al-Husseini which was used to spread propaganda on behalf of Nazi Germany, organize spy rings in Europe and the Middle East, and, most importantly, establish Muslim Nazi SS divisions and Wehrmacht units in Bosnia, the Balkans, North Africa and Nazi-occupied parts of the Soviet Union. After the meeting, the Mufti was also named SS gruppenfuehrer by Heinrich Himmler and referred to as the Fuhrer of the Arab World by Hitler himself.
The largest Muslim Nazi SS unit was the 13th division, known as Hanjar. Husseini also encouraged the creation of smaller, less efficient units, including the Waffen SS divisions known as Skanderbeg (made up predominantly of Albanians) and Kama (made up mostly of Yugoslavian Muslims). Thus, Hitler`s Mufti organized or encouraged three out of 27 Waffen SS divisions formed before 1945 (eleven other SS divisions were formed in 1945, but most of these were of questionable calibre and accepted soldiers of questionable skill).
According to the Encyclopedia of the Holocaust, al-Husseini organized in record time Croatian units that went on to massacre hundreds of thousands of Serbian Orthodox Christians. Jacenovac, the third largest death camp, where more than 200,000 people met their death, was run by Croatian Ante Pavelic with the aid of al-Husseini. In all, at least 800,000 Yugoslavian civilians were murdered by Pavelics pro-Axis Ustaschi regime.
Despite the relative inefficiency of the Hanjar division and the total incompetence of the other two divisions, it can still be said that the units established and encouraged by the Fuhrer of the Arab World played a significant role in the genocide. Tens of thousands of Jews outside Yugoslavia also perished when the Mufti argued against trading them for German POWs held by the Allies.
Al-Husseini opened a North African Bureau in Germany with the goal of recruiting 500,000 Arab soldiers from Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria. The plan failed when German forces were forced to withdraw from much of North Africa after a successful British operation.
But an Arab Legion was founded, and it fought under the German flag. Arab soldiers had hoped to fight in the Middle East but were instead sent to the Russian front, where they were completely wiped out while fighting in the Caucasus region.
Some time later, in response to the British decision to create a Jewish Brigade made up of some of the 26,000 Palestinian Jews who had fought under the United Kingdoms flag, the Mufti convinced the Germans to create an Arab Brigade. The unit, however, either did not fight or was not very efficient because very little is known about it.
The Mufti also made a particularly strong effort to recruit Soviet Muslims. It was largely due to Haj Amins propaganda that on the arrival of German armies in the northern Caucasus in 1942, five indigene tribes the Chechens, the Ingushes, the Balkars, the Karachais, and the Kabardines welcomed them with bread and salt, wrote Joseph Schechtman in The Mufti and the Fuhrer.
Stalins response was deadly. Caucasian Muslims, including nearly all Chechens and Ingush, were exiled from their land, with up to a third dying as a result of inhumane treatment by Soviet authorities.
The Mufti was similarly instrumental in the recruitment of the Azerbaijani battalion, which proved their valor, were included in German Storm Troops and decorated by the German Army, according to a November 1943 broadcast by DNB, the German News Agency. The Mufti`s representatives in Central Asia recruited some Muslim fighters for Nazi Germany there as well, despite widespread sympathy among the majority of Central Asian Muslims for the plight of the Jews during the Holocaust.
he Mufti`s hatred of the West was matched only by his hatred of the Jews. It is not a coincidence that Germany suddenly abandoned the policy of expelling Jews and adopted far harsher methods a short time after the Mufti arrived in Germany. When Haj Amin came to Germany again, the Nazis decided to execute the Final Solution to the Jewish Problem.
The Mufti was one of the initiators of the systematic extermination of European Jewry, reported Eichmann`s deputy, Dieter Wisliceny. [He had] played a role in the decision to exterminate the European Jews. The importance of this role must not be disregarded…. The Mufti was one of the initiators of the systematic extermination of European Jewry.
We do not know if al-Husseini played a major role in shaping the Final Solution. There is, however, wrote Joseph Schechtman, abundant first-hand evidence of the part the Mufti played in making foolproof the ban on emigration (of Jews out of Germany).
When the war ended, al-Husseini returned to the Middle East as a hero. On October 1, 1948, he was proclaimed the president of the government of All-Palestine. The government was fictional, however, because it did not control any land and was recognized by only a handful of Arab nations. In 1959 it was dispersed by its sponsor, Egypt.
By that time, however, another member of the al-Husseini clan was planning terror. Around the same time that the All-Palestine government was disbanded, a man by the name of Muhammad Abd al-Rahman ar-Rauf al-Qudwah al-Husaini better known as Yasir Arafat was busy organizing Fatah, which would go on to become the main faction of the PLO.

Based on the following scenario, what would be the core elements of a conflict resolution procedure you would develop?
Your school has been asked to participate in a pilot program within your district that is dealing with facility efficiencies. Participation in the program will require your school to begin and end operations 1 hour later than the standard within your community. Your principal has agreed to become part of the pilot program. During the first week of school, it is clear that there are many conflict issues that are surfacing. One issue of major concern to the school is the complaints coming from parents and students regarding late bus rides and the late nights completing homework. During class and in the hallways, students are overhearing complaints and reactions from the teachers about the new schedule. Your principal knows that you have been focusing on conflict management and conflict resolution in your course work and has asked you to develop a conflict resolution procedure to address this and similar problems.

Class Action / Mass Terminations
Many employers engage in various tactics to reduce their workforce such as:
- Large scale restructuring;
- Mass layoffs;
- Group terminations; and/or
- "Voluntary" pay cuts.
In many cases, these changes create situations that affect numerous employees in the same manner – giving rise to a potential class action employment law claim.

Working with a diverse group of men and women in the corporate world offers me direct and valuable insight into people's innate preferences and how these shape the quality of their relationships and how much influence they have as leaders with their direct reports or colleague to colleague.
They are born with these preferences of which many of us are not aware , but know innately how we prefer to interact with people, take in information, make decisions about the information we take in and of course, how we wish to approach people in our external worlds.
It is in these preferences that many leaders and their direct reports may struggle with understanding each other. Here's what I mean. I have a client who heads up an organization with over 600 employees. This client is one of the most caring, empathetic, bright and innovative leader I have had the pleasure of serving. He has nothing but the well-being of the organization and its employees at heart. I see this in the multiple initiatives he has undertaken to build an organization that is healthy both profitably and from a human investment perspective. Developing his employees to be people who feel and know they matter.
Sadly, this leader is understood by only a handful of the very people he cares so much about. Why is this so? Simply because of his preference for introversion: he prefers to direct his energy and attention inward by spending time reflecting on the needs of his employees and the shareholders and how best to meet these needs. None of this is communicated verbally to his people; rather he prefers to communicate by writing which is seen as cold and uncaring by many of his charges.
He spends a lot of time 'in his head' having great thoughts which no one can read. If you are experiencing these 'frustrations' with such a person at work or home I am sure you can relate with the challenges and difficulties this preference for how to interact with people poses.
However, learning that we all have these natural preferences-which don't change (what changes is how we express them) has helped this leader connect in a healthier way with his people. It is a challenge for him but he knows how and when to operate 'in preference' and 'out of preference'.
For people who prefer to direct and receive their energy by focusing on their own inner world, they may find operating out of this preference to be draining and taxing. They may feel constrained in their ability to work out their ideas as they may feel they have no time to reflect and learn through this process.
However, these people bring valuable insight to the pool of shared ideas. They help keep those who use a different way of directing and receiving their energy and of course vice versa. Here's how to get benefits from interacting with people like this. Knowing that my client has a preference for introversion he was encouraged to practice the following in order to achieve balance in his work and own personal needs:
- Create time each day to engage in reflection and working out ideas alone both at work and home. Guard this time as this is how he is energized. This is when he is operating 'in preference'.
- When at work he will need to operate 'out of preference' in certain situations. He can best prepare for this by writing out the ideas and thoughts he will communicate verbally to his employees.
- He can practice verbally delivering these ideas in front of people he trusts and are comfortable in their presence.
- Draw on his non-preferred ways of expressing himself in key situations. This helps him become better at communicating in this way over time. Though he is encouraged to remember he is not changing his innate preference (this can't be done) but that he is only fulfilling the need to operate out of preference in certain situations.
- Let his direct reports and colleagues at work know he has a need for some alone time to fully reflect upon and work out ideas for problems. He will join the group and contribute accordingly.
- Finish off with ensuring at the end of each day he has set time aside to recharge and re-energize in his preferred way.
This will be a learning journey for this client however, he is up for the challenge and he knows the moments at work he spends out of preference will be accounted for and balanced with the moments he spends in preference both at work and home.

Add Chard for a Colorful Health Palette
Along with beets, spinach and quinoa, chard (Beta vulgaris) is part of the chenopod, or goosefoot, family, so named for the shape of its leaves. Stems of green, white, red or yellow support deep green voluminous leaves that grow over two feet high. Its vibrant color palette indicates its variety of phytonutrientsplant chemicals rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. Highly dense in nutrients, one cup of cooked chard has just 35 calories, and packs over 700 percent of the Daily Value (% DV, needs based on 2,000 calories per day) of bone healthy vitamin K, 214% DV for vitamin A, and 53% DV for vitamin C.

Year 3
To view our long term plan click here
Year 3 – Maths – Problem Solving and Reasoning
In pairs, we had to listen to rules, which helped us place a cup in the correct sequence. We had to decide which rules to use first, backing up our ideas with 'because and reasoning with our partners.
Year 3 – Volcano Homework
In Geography and English, we have been learning all about 'Extreme Earth'. We have been reading non-fiction books about earthquakes, volcanoes and mountains. We are also writing our own information text to show what we have learned about the style and facts. As homework, the class were asked to make a 3-D volcano.
Year 3 – Design Technology
For our sandwich making topic, which was linked to PSHE and Science, the children had to create a healthy sandwich that they wanted to eat. The class looked at different breads from around the world, fillings and salads. There were quite a few tastings to be done. The children all really enjoyed their sandwiches.
Year 3 Science
To see if the children with the largest/longest muscles, could throw the furthest; we measured everyone in the class; measured out a 25 metre line in the hall using the trundle wheel; took it in turns to throw a beanbag and finally measured where it landed.
From this investigation, we found out that it doesn't matter how big/tall you are, you can still throw really far. Some of them even reached 25m!

Will geoengineering be America's next 'Manhattan Project?'

By the summer of 1945, researchers were ready to test their product, and on July 16, 1945, the first atomic bomb was detonated. The blinding flash was visible from up to 200 miles away, and […]Read more

In reply to:
Re: Professor Theodore DECKER
Phyllis Gauss 3/10/14
Thank you so very much.Actually I had everything that you listed with the exception of the deaths of the two children in Omaha.And believe me that is so much help.
Professor Decker, his wife, Mary Timothea and Henry died of yellow fever in Memphis.However, they apparently had a quick burial in Memphis.His death was in over 10 newspapers all over the country.
Now that I can place them in Omaha in a certain timeframe perhaps, I will be able to find the christening of Mary Christina, my great grandmother.She was born in 1865.
Thank you again, these two deaths have given me a paper trail now, to follow.

text: This seems to be a simple thing, but I just can't find any way to do this. All I want is a way to disable the screen's auto-wake. For example, if an appointment chimes, or if a call comes in... whatever... I want to prevent my phone (HTC EVO 4G) from turning on the screen and accepting touch input. I want it to wait until I hit the power button. Obviously, I still want the ringer and vibrate to function normally... I mainly want to prevent mis-fires due to the phone being in my pocket and this seems like the simplest way to do it, I just don't see this option available, neither in the OS nor in any available apps. Has no one ever wanted this functionality before??? Suggestions? Thanks, DriverMR

Via Wikipedia:
Davis's first success was as Charmaine "Schultzy" Schultz in the sitcom The Bob Cummings Show on NBC, twice winning the Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series out of four nominations for this role. In the 1965-1966 television season, she appeared as Miss Wilson, a physical education teacher at a private girls' academy in San Francisco, in John Forsythe's NBC sitcom The John Forsythe Show. For a period in the 1960s and 1970s, Davis was known for her appearances in television commercials for the Ford Motor Company, particularly for the mid-sized Ford Fairlane models. Davis was featured in commercials for Minute Rice until the mid-1980s.
She played housekeeper Alice Nelson in The Brady Bunch television series, and various Brady Bunch sequel series and TV movies. She made a cameo appearance as a truck driver named "Schultzy", a reference to her days on The Bob Cummings Show, in The Brady Bunch Movie in 1995.
Davis never completely retired from acting; in her later years she appeared in several disposable mop commercials featuring famous television domestics, and has appeared in a number of Brady Bunch reunion projects, most recently TV Land's The Brady Bunch 35th Anniversary Reunion Special: Still Brady After All These Years. On April 22, 2007, The Brady Bunch was awarded the TV Land Pop Culture Award on the 5th annual TV Land Awards. Davis and other cast members accepted the award, and she received a standing ovation.
She appeared on Broadway in the musical Crazy For You.

Short Ribs with Roja Slow Cooking Sauce
Be the first to Write a Review
Prep Time: 25 minutes
Cook Time: 260 minutes
Servings: 6
A naturally tough cut of beef, short ribs emerge meltingly tender and succulent with long, slow braising in a flavorful liquid. Here, we combine the ribs with our roja slow cooking sauce. Made from fire-roasted tomatoes, chilies, onions and cilantro, it adds a fiery kick to the beef. This recipe can be prepared in a slow cooker or Dutch oven.
- 8
- 6 beef short ribs, about 5 lb. total
- Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
- 2 Tbs. olive oil
- 2 white onions, thickly sliced
- 1 jar Frontera roja slow cooking sauce
- Green Rice for serving
Related Recipes
Wine PairingThis pairs well with bold, full-bodied red wines like the Cornesa Crianza Ribera Del Duero from our Wine Club.
Directions:If cooking the short ribs in an oven instead of in a slow cooker, preheat to 325°F. Generously season the short ribs with salt and pepper. Set aside.
In a large fry pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 Tbs. of the olive oil. Add the onions and cook until browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a slow cooker or Dutch oven.
Return the fry pan to medium-high heat and warm the remaining 1 Tbs. oil. Working in batches, brown the short ribs, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to the slow cooker or Dutch oven and add the slow cooking sauce. If using a slow cooker, cover and cook for 4 hours on high or 8 hours on low. If using a Dutch oven, cover and cook in the oven for 2 hours.
Transfer the short ribs and onions to a warmed platter. Skim the fat off the sauce. Taste and adjust the seasonings with salt and pepper. Spoon the sauce over and around the ribs. Serve immediately with the green rice. Serves 6.

Bruce Levenson sold the Atlanta Hawks in 2014 and immediately moved into the world of nonprofits. He started an initiative in Maryland University with some seed money for the Do Good Institute. The Do Good Institute (brucelevenson.com) is an initiative that is intending to influence and expose university students to the world of nonprofits. This is something it plans to achieve through creating an environment that allows the students to participate in a charitable initiative in the real world by making real-time decisions on what projects to fund with the money they are given. This move is intended to bring a new crop of nonprofit leaders. The program is already seeing a lot of positive response.
Bruce Levenson and his wife decided to venture into the Do Good Institute after realizing that there are great nonprofit organizations out there that are headed by people of good will and intentions but more often than not, these organizations fail. Most of the reason behind such failure is the fact that the leadership lacks the necessary skills it requires to run a nonprofit organization effectively. For any business to be successful, nonprofit or profit making, there are crucial business skills that the people at the leadership need to have.
In a report by PR News, the idea of training and introducing young people to the culture of nonprofits occurred to Bruce and his wife, and they decided to approach Maryland University with it. The university agreed and the Levenson's began with seed money of 75 million dollars to fund the project while the university chipped in 20 million dollars. The first class involved students being offer 10000 dollars and asked to choose a charity of their liking, making the program to become famous on campus instantly.

Long Island's Top 10 Planning Process Issues Impacting Downtown Development
10: No two municipalities function the same.
There is tremendous variability between Long Island's municipalities—different rules, different processes,different staffing levels. This is a result of the omplex structure of incorporated and unincorporated villages, towns, cities and counties that we have on Long Island.
9: Technology? What's that?
We provide little to no technology either to manage the process or accept payments. Only three of the surveyed municipalities accepted online applications. And over 80% of Long Island jurisdictions accept only cash or check for fees—no credit cards. Only one jurisdiction accepts payments online.
8: How long will it take to move through the process? Who knows?
70% of jurisdictions surveyed do not set target dates for when planning reviews will be conducted. No one knows how long it takes to complete an approval process. Three-quarters of jurisdictions do not track review times by staff.
7: We build our downtowns for cars.
Almost 75% of the jurisdictions surveyed said that their on-site parking requirements were one of the biggest impediments to downtown development. Yet communities off Long Island that have successfully re-energized their downtowns have limited parking rather than maximized it. The goal was to encourage walkability thus increasing the likelihood of retail success and creating a greater sense of place and identity.
6: We add to the cost of construction.
Less than 50% of villages and only one town offer next-day building inspections. Once construction begins, timely inspections are essential to keep projects on schedule and reduce construction costs.
5: Up-to-date comprehensive plans are essential. Unfortunately, we don't have many of them.
On Long Island, almost 50% of villages don't have a comprehensive plan at all and 50% of the towns and cities have an outdated plan. Comprehensive plans are essential to planners and government officials seeking to define what type of development a community wants. Without them, it's nearly impossible to plan for the future of a community.
4: Up-to-date zoning codes go hand-in-hand with updated comprehensive plans. We could use more of them.
Nearly 50% of the jurisdictions surveyed have not comprehensively updated their zoning codes in at least ten years. Our communities are changing—through demographic shifts, economic tides, the emergence of new building practices. Without updated zoning codes, it is harder to plan for the impact of change on the community.
3: Long Island has the lowest rate of rentals in our region. No surprise since our codes make it hard or downright impossible to build them.
In 45% of the villages, rental units cannot be built without a special permit or cannot be built at all. In 70% of the villages, accessory housing is not allowed.
2: On Long Island, we worry that we'll build too much. But we should be worrying that we don't build enough.
We use density caps to focus on "how much is too much" but fail to recognize that without setting minimums of what we must have, we fail to achieve what we set out to create. Minimums and maximums need to be defined. Retail will not flourish in a downtown if you don't have a large enough population to utilize those services. Not determining the minimum requirement means jeopardizing the vibrancy and economic success that you are striving for.
1: With a little here and a little there, we will realize only a fraction of the potential of our downtowns.
On Long Island, we tend to do things in a piecemeal fashion. Individual projects don't relate to each other, and can't reach the critical mass of housing and jobs that Long Island needs. We need a concerted, integrated plan that considers the needs of the community from a variety of perspectives—residents' wishes, needs for future generations, creating an economically viable region. Without that, we're going to end up with a new apartment building here, a new business over there, and parking everywhere.

Came in from out of town for my wife's birthday on a Sat. night. Made a post-theater 9:45 reservation at Red Cat. Called at 9:35 to say play got out late and we would be a few minutes late, and arrived about 9:55 or so. They were slammed. Our table was still occupied. Hostess apologized, sent us to the crowded end of the bar, and ignored us for the next half hour. We were checking a Blackberry for where else to go, when our table freed up at 10:30 -- 45 minutes after the reserved time. I think I went to the front of the room twice to check on our table and remind them we were trying to celebrate a birthday, but all I got was "Sorry, we can't do anything. Your table won't leave"
Not true. They could have given us a glass of wine while we waited or come over to see how we were, etc. I felt kind of stupid just standing there -- if you've been there, you know how crowded and noisy the far end of the bar is, and close to the bathroom entrance.
Once we were seated, they did send over a free plate of tempura green beans. But it took a long time for us to relax and enjoy ourselves after such hapless treatment. Food was good, but by the time it came, it was too late to enjoy it fully.
So -- I used the restaurant's website to send a polite but critical description of our less than happy night. The restaurant has not replied to my message. Not how I would do it.
Am I expecting too much?

With the 2020 Olympics in the bag and record-breaking outbound investment, the legal market has put in a strong performance for 2014 so far
Last summer, crowds in Tokyo cele-brated the city's 2020 Olympic bid victory. It was a rare moment of joy for a country that has been hit by natural disasters and, since the early 1990s, a stagnant economy. The win gave the nation confidence and boosted the popularity of prime minister Shinzo Abe's favourite slogan 'Japan is back'.
Although Japan's economy grew by 0.7 per cent in 2013 – it was planning for 1 per cent, fast-growing outward investment is a bright spot. Outbound direct investment in 2013 increased by 10 per cent to $135bn (£80bn), from $122bn in 2012.
For M&A lawyers it was an exciting year of high-profile, multibillion-dollar cross-border transactions. In July last year Softbank acquired a 70 per cent stake in American mobile carrier Sprint Nextel for $21.6bn – one of the largest cross-border deals out of Japan. Morrison & Foerster, together with Japanese counsel Mori Hamada & Matsumoto, advised Softbank in this ground-breaking deal, while Skadden Arps Slate Meagher & Flom secured the lead counsel role for Sprint Nextel.
In January this year Suntory made a bid to acquire US spirits maker Beam, famous for the Jim Beam brand of bourbon, for $16bn. Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton won the mandate to represent the Japanese drinks maker. The deal came just a few months after Suntory instructed Clifford Chance for its £1.35bn acquisition of drinks brands Ribena and Lucozade from GlaxoSmithKline.
Most recently, Mori Hamada and Shearman & Sterling jointly advised Japanese food group Mizkan's $2.15bn acquisition of Uni-lever's North American pasta sauce businesses, Ragu and Bertolli.
In fact, about a third of Japan's outbound investment in 2013, amounting to $43.7bn, went to the US. Exploiting this trend, one of the five largest Japanese firms, TMI Associates, is set to open its first US office in Silicon Valley in July – a first for Japanese firms. It is also its latest expansion overseas, following openings in China, Vietnam, Singapore, and Myanmar.
TMI has also been growing its practice in Japan, partially thanks to joint ventures with four foreign firms, Simmons & Simmons, Morgan Lewis & Bockius, Canada's Wakely Foreign Law Office and Germany's ARQIS.
Heading South-East
While the US attracted the largest amount of investment from Japan in 2013, South-East Asia is where the inflow of Japanese capital really soared. The total amount of Japanese investment in the ASEAN region reached $23.6bn, more than double the $10.6bn invested in 2012.
As 2012 and 2013 saw the big five firms open offices in Singapore, the past 12 months have been characterised by their expansion into other parts of the region.
Most recently, Nagashima Ohno & Tsunematsu hasopened its own Bangkok office. And earlier this year, Mori Hamada set up shop in Myanmar's largest city, Yangon. The largest Japanese firm by lawyer numbers, Nishimura & Asahi, now boasts seven overseas offices, including those in Bangkok and Yangon, which it opened late 2013.
"Japanese business is looking at overseas markets for growth – mainly Asia and more particularly South-East Asia," says Mori Hamada managing partner Toru Ishiguro.
Despite having advised on 126 M&A transactions with a total value of $32bn, according to Thomson Reuters, Ishiguro describes 2013 as "neither prosperous nor too bad" for his firm.
"Pure Japanese domestic activity is not as active as before, although more demand is being generated by the widespread move of Japanese companies into South-East Asia," he explains.
Apart from the firm's expansion in Asia, it has also recently opened two domestic branch offices, in Fukuoka and Osaka.
"There is a lack of service from large-scale firms in these two regions," says Ishiguro. "More importantly, as some of the large Japanese corporations have moved to South-East Asia, many of their contracting companies based in the regional cities will want to follow them. We want to connect these local and small- to medium-sized companies' potential needs with our network in Asia."
Despite Japanese firms' expansion both abroad and at home, the growth of lawyer headcounts remains broadly stagnant. Some domestic firms, including Nagashima and Anderson Mori & Tomotsune, have seen a fall in lawyer numbers.
This is partly due to the shrinking domestic market and partly because of a growing in-house legal profession. According to the Japan Federation of Bar Associations the number of in-house attorneys was 965 in June 2013, marking a 25 per cent rise on the previous year – and twice the number in 2011.
The international firms have seen the steepest decline in lawyer number in their Tokyo offices. Allen & Overy had one of the biggest drops, from 25 in March 2012 to just eight in March 2013.
Nevertheless, the Japanese legal industry should be feeling upbeat. Not only is there the prospect of a stronger economy, there are also landmark projects and developments to provide plenty of work leading up to the 2020 Olympics.

Former Buckeye Football Offensive Lineman Marcus Hall came in to read to some of our classes on Tuesday. Kids had fun asking him questions about the game and standing next to him to see how tall he is. He was so great with the children and reminded them that his years at OSU were not just about playing football but that he is a proud graduate of The Ohio State University!

The Year 8 football team have improved massively and have been a pleasure to coach according to our PE teacher, Mr Macklin. Here is his report of their tremendous convincing victory over Twickenham Academy:
RSSP Year 8 Football League
Tuesday 24 March 2015
Richmond Park Academy 5 Twickenham Academy 2
Report by Mr Macklin
The first goal came midway through the first half, after neat interchanges between Carlos, Chris and Sidney led to Chris bearing down on the keeper before coolly slotting into the bottom left-hand corner. However, Twickenham responded quickly, with their female attacking midfielder, and arguably best player, thumping home from 20 yards, giving Abdul no chance between the posts. The half time score of 1-1 showed a fair reflection, despite RPA's dominance in possession.
The second half quickly sprung into life, and substitute referee Mr Harrison awarded a spot-kick to RPA seven minutes after the restart when Akin was upended in the box following a reckless challenge from the Twickenham centre half. Chris confidently converted as RPA regained the lead for the second time in the match. RPA continued to press, and Chris grabbed his hat-trick with a superbly taken finish from 15 yards following some innocuous defending. However, Twickenham hit back with 15 minutes left to play; RPA cheaply gifting possession before a mazy run and finish allowed the Twickenham midfielder to pick up her second of the afternoon.
As Twickenham pressed for an equaliser, RPA struck the killer blow, when some neat work from Leon found Chris 25 yards out to the left hand side of the penalty area, and he finished emphatically to regain the two goal cushion. RPA weren't finished there though, and Chris concluded his quintet of strikes with some individual brilliance following some tidy play from Kwarme and Leon. The final whistle bought jubilant scenes as RPA got off the mark for the season. Improvement in defensive stability, excellent one-touch football and eagerness to win the ball meant RPA were clear and deserved winners in this Championship encounter.
Team: Abdul, Hassan, Jake, Charlie, Ehtsham, Carlos, Levi, Chris, Emils, Sindey, Akin, Ryan, Leon and Kwarme

text: After a good amount of research I believe that I would like to buy a Doberman for my first family dog. I have read tons of stuff about them from various sites but would love to find a good forum to discuss them more. I have tried calling a bunch of Vets in my area to recommend breeders but none of them seem to care where I buy my dog. I realize that I can just google dog forums or Doberman forums but I was hoping to find a forum that someone here used and enjoyed. Thanks for any help you can provide.

2016 was a year of changes and growth, friendship and love – and we couldn't be prouder or more grateful of the amazing journey we have been on. We are definitely not the same people we were when we started this blog 3 years ago. What started as a creative outlet to document our daily fashion, turned into our take on "one trend, styled two ways" showing off our two minds, two ideas, and two outfits behind every post. As we look back on all that we have done, we realize our blog really is a beautiful reflection on how different and alike we can be and how grateful we are of the amazing friendship we have built.
However, as certain doors close, others open, and with that, we know that it's time to start something new in 2017 and trust the magic of new beginnings. Although, we will not be posting on our blog as much, please continue to follow along on our style journey and friendship diary via our Instagram: @sequinsareagirlsbestfriend.
This is not a goodbye, it's see you later.
Happy New Year!
"How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard"

Let's face it. Ian Eskelin has done some great stuff dabbling with techno and electronic pop as a solo artist. But in his fifteen years of music, most know him best as the mastermind behind the band All Star United.
Ah, remember All Star? They had that irresistibly fun, hook-laden sunny pop/rock sound, with an interesting lyrical mix ranging from the explicitly vertical to the extremely sardonic. Hard to believe it's been ten years since they released their debut, and harder still to accept its been five years since Revolution in 2002. Most, like me, probably assumed Eskelin had given up on the band, having gone back to a solo career (2004's Save the Humans) and producing other artists (Stellar Kart, Krystal Meyers).
However, Eskelin knows when he's on to something good, and though he's plenty busy crafting music with others, All Star remains his chief creative outlet. So to the surprise of everyone, Love and Radiation released in the UK back in 2006 before finally making it to the States a year later through 7Spin Music. I'm happy to report that it's a return to form for the band.
You might chalk it up to the ever-rotating lineup—this album is a veritable who's who of members past. Drummer Christian Crowe is back, having played on the first two albums, and Adrian Walther also returns after playing bass on 1998's International Anthems for the Human Race. In the meantime, guitarist Mike Payne continues a tenure that started with Revolution, while longtime friend Brian Whitman steps up to guitar after merely singing backing vocals on previous albums.
But more than musicianship, songwriting seems even more responsible for revitalizing All Star's sound. For example, Doug McKelvey co-wrote eight songs between the first two albums, yet only contributed to one on Revolution. Seeing his name in the credits for seven tracks on Love and Radiation suggests he's partly the reason the last album was such a departure and this one such a return.
Regardless, everything fans originally loved about the original All Star United is here—sugary sweet melodies, lively rock energy, bright harmonies, and pop hooks galore. I'd forgotten just how good this band was at fusing punch guitars with bass licks and powerhouse drumming, topped with some keyboard lines to boot. And of course, the sound wouldn't be complete without the distinctive blend of wit, fun, and vertical focus, similar to newsboys.
Many of the songs rely on the familiar theme of finding strength in weakness and brokenness through Christ, as heard in "Before You Break My Heart" and "We Could Be Brilliant," though worded with far more personality: "I'm tired of trying to deliver/So done pretending I'm divine/It leaves me longing to uncover/Expose the bullet holes so you can shine." Like C.S. Lewis' description of Aslan, Eskelin and company use the title track to address the seemingly contradictory loving-yet-dangerous nature of God, while "In a World Where Nothing's Wrong (You're Alright)" subtly takes on moral and spiritual ambiguity. The ballad "Take Me a Way" is a cleverly worded prayer to fill our emptiness with the one thing that will satisfy, and "Jesus on the Radio" makes a nice metaphor for tuning our souls to God in a dry and barren cultural wasteland.
Yet the one that people will be talking about most is "The Song of the Year," a delightfully none-too-understated blast at Christian music culture. Yes, it's ironic that Eskelin wrote it before receiving a Song of the Year Dove nomination for co-writing Stellar Kart's "Jesus & Me," but his beef is not with the GMA. The point is to challenge our motivations for creating art and using the name of Jesus in a song. Is it sincere, or is it marketing? Stuff like this indicates that Eskelin is the second most provocative songwriter in Christian music behind Derek Webb.
In turn, this is the second best album All Star has made since their 1997 debut. The first album was always fun, often uplifting, sometimes smart, and occasionally satirical, but it never relied overly on fluff, whereas Love and Radiation has its share of cheesy moments. It's surely intentional, but a title like "You You You (Yeah Yeah Yeah)" tells you off the bat there's not much depth. Likewise, "Let's Rock Tonight" is a knowingly cliché d rallying cry to let our light shine, but it isn't countered with any significant depth. And "There's Gotta Be Something" is fine, though it feels like another formulaic song about finding deeper purpose.
The thing is, I don't mind the fluff much, as it only comprises part of the album. Besides, the debut album was the closest thing to perfect for its kind, which makes it hard for the other albums to live up to. Love and Radiation remains an infectiously fun and occasionally thoughtful effort that reminds us why we fell in love with All Star United in the first place. They've done better, but there's still nobody that does it better.

Rose Ette
Added By
4 Fans
Sat 6/03
When it's real, indie rock is almost always better than anything corporate, and throughout the history of the genre bands like Houston's Rose Ette have defined what indie rock is. At the heart of it, the four piece creates catchy and hook filled songs that echo the likes of Coleen Green and Speedy Ortiz without ever copying either. After the release of 2015's Jungle, Rose Etee is set to release a follow up to the acclaimed debut. Couple with that an energetic live show and songs you can hold near and dear, you're left with a band that has more weight than most coming out of Houston today.

You've probably read the news about the court exchange between the Lees and the Chees. It's all very weird and surreal, and I do wish I had attended the court session.
All that stuff aside, what fascinated me most were the uber-powerful labels MM Lee used on Chee Soon Juan, and very successfully too – the local press immediately picked up on them and used them in the headlines.
"Political juvenile"
"Near psychopath"
You know, CSJ has been ranting for a good 16 years already, and is widely disregarded by rational local folks who have better things to do. Yeah, I want more liberties too, but more importantly, I need to pay the bills and feed the kids.
He's said alot over the years, but I've sometimes felt that nothing has really registered because he hasn't demonstrated the same mastery of the language that the Old Guard had/has. I once read an old speech to RI boys by Eddie Barker and boy, was he brief yet memorable in his words.
The right words, used just once (and not repeated again), calibrated carefully and in the right environment, will create a framework of thought that just sticks and refuses to disappear.
Now MM Lee's two labels for CSJ are truly impressive – they are simple to understand, yet are loaded with meanings, and immediately carved out a public persona for people to frame CSJ into.
It doesn't matter who you're siding with politically. As someone who's sometimes fascinated with the use of language and semantics, I'm struck by the use of those two labels and their sheer potency.
Politics is about pushing the right buttons, and life will really be more fun if more politicians here figure out how to use powerful language for their cause. All we hear these days is the boring language of administrators. We need more orators, poets and firebrands to spice up the imagination and drive emotions/thought, and that's what the MM is really good at.
We don't need a Speak Good English campaign. What we really need is a Speak Effective English campaign!
PS: Don't bother commenting here, dear supporters of the Chees or even the Lees, this post is on language, not on which political side is better lah. ie. The older generation generally has a better grasp of English and its nuances. Fault of the education system or just a general trend towards simpler usage of English? Shrug, that's for another day's blog post.
PPS: From what I'm reading online about reactions to the court proceedings, I suspect some people may not even grasp the concept of "contempt of court". Dear fellow citizens, please note that this is not an episode of Matlock or some John Grisham novel. If you think I've injured the raging political animal in you, you can always email me at iantan AT pacific.net.sg

Legal Question in Constitutional Law in Virginia
my husband had his prelimenary jan2013 trial was set april2013he fired his lawyer that day was appointed another attorney the judge stated that hauting his speedy trial rights until the new trial was set it only took one day for the new trial to be made its not until july2013 are his rights being violated if so what can be done will the charges be dismissed if they are dimissed can he be reindicted
Asked on 4/28/13, 5:27 pm
1 Answer from Attorneys
Michael Hendrickson Law Office Michael E. Hendrickson
No, if the reason for the delayed trial date is the fact that your husband fired
his attorney and that a new one had to be appointed, then there can be no issue
as to whether your husband's "speedy trial rights" were violated in this particular
circumstance.since the delay was apparently due to his actions.

Let's be clear: President Barack Obama is not proposing to implement the Canadian model of health care (known in the United States as a single-payer system). In fact, in our terms, he's proposing to implement two-tier health care - and he's doing so precisely to counter the horror stories that the Republicans and others are raising to build opposition to Mr. Obama's proposed public heath-care option.
Rather than supporting Mr. Obama, therefore, Canadian politicians appearing on U.S. television to tout the Canadian health care system are actually doing him a disservice. Sure it's difficult for a politician to turn down television time - particularly on U.S. television. But if they can manage to resist the temptation, our politicians might actually learn something about true health-care reform by listening to the debate in the United States

In the United States today, there is a pervasive tendency to treat children as adults, and adults as children. The options of children are thus steadily expanded, while those of adults are progressively constricted. The result is unruly children and childish adults. ~Thomas Szasz
