Hone Pani Tamati Waka Nene Harawira[1] is a New Zealand Māori activist and parliamentarian. He was elected to the Parliament of New Zealand for the Māori electorate of Te Tai Tokerau in the 2005 general election as the Māori Party candidate. His resignation caused the Te Tai Tokerau by-election, held on 25 June 2011, which he won with a majority of 1117. As Leader of the Mana Party and Member of Parliament for Te Tai Tokerau, he sits on the front bench in the New Zealand House of Representatives.
Early years[edit]
Harawira was born to John Puriri Harawira[2] and Titewhai Harawira[3] in Whangarei on 6 January 1955.[4] He was raised in West Auckland and attended St Stephen's School, a boarding school for Māori boys, and the University of Auckland. He credits people like Muhammad Ali, Syd Jackson, Nelson Mandela, Maori Marsden, his mother and his wife for teaching him "the need for strength, commitment, wisdom and vision".[5] His mother descends from the Ngāti Hau, Ngāti Wai and Ngāti Hine tribes, his father from Te Aupōuri, Ngāpuhi and Ngāti Whātua, and he is part Pākehā.[6][7] He married Hilda Halkyard from the Ngāti Haua hapū (subtribe) of Te Rarawa.[5]
His mother is a prominent Māori activist and Harawira himself played a role in Treaty of Waitangi issues, Māori language revitalisation, land occupations, and Māori broadcasting. In 1979 Harawira was part of He Taua, which confronted drunk University of Auckland engineering students who performed a parody of the "Ka Mate" haka with obscenities painted on their bodies. The group including Harawira assaulted them with baseball bats and hoses, resulting in several broken bones.[8] In 2009 when he and his wife revisited the School of Engineering Harawira said "When people refuse to do what's right, at the end of the day you step in, do what you've got to do." He was a key participant in He Taua, the 1981 Springbok tour protests, and the 2004 foreshore and seabed hikoi, the last of which led to him entering Parliament.
Harawira's family continue to engage in activism, with his nephews Wikatana Popata and John Junior Popata protesting in 2009, 2010 and 2011 at Te Tii Marae during the Waitangi Day celebrations and Harawira has said he is proud of their actions.[9] In 2009 they were convicted of assaulting Prime Minister John Key and sentenced to community service.[10]

In Parliament Harawira has continued in his tradition as a rebel, breaking protocol to open Parliament in Māori; saying the former Australian Prime Minister "John Howard is a racist bastard" for his intervention into aboriginal affairs; being fined for leaving a planned parliamentary overseas tour to make headlines over aboriginal rights; and for continually challenging the government's Māori MPs for "not defending Māori rights". A student at Waikato University complained about Harawira in April 2009 after an incident where Harawira swore in response to a question referring to Māori as a "minority group". He explained that the political science student, Steve Baron, was a racist who "lumped Māori in with other minorities like homosexuals and Asians.....He tried it on and he got his comeuppance."[11]
Harawira writes a regular column in the Kaitaia-based newspaper The Northland Age, entitled Ae Marika. In the edition dated 29 October 2009, during the time he was on a Parliamentary trip in Europe, he wrote:[12] "...we've been scrapping and squabbling and brawling and bawling about this, that and the other thing for so long that all of the original Waitangi Tribunal claimants are now long dead." "...the European Union...27 distinct languages and hundreds of different dialects...political diversity...everyone doing their best to talk with one another, and work together!" "So hangin' with these folks has been a great learning experience." "...I for one learned heaps."
Following his return from Europe, in November 2009 Hawawira was asked to repay some travel costs after skipping a taxpayer-funded conference in Brussels to go sightseeing in Paris. "How many times in my lifetime am I going to get to Europe? So I thought, 'F*** it, I'm off. I'm off to Paris'," he said.[13] In a subsequent email exchange with Buddy Mikaere (a former director of the Waitangi Tribunal), who had criticised Harawira's actions, Harawira lashed out at white people, stating "Gee Buddy, do you believe that white man bull**** too do you? White motherf***ers have been raping our lands and ripping us off for centuries and all of a sudden you want me to play along with their puritanical bullshit....And, quite frankly, I don't give a shit what you or anyone else thinks about it. OK?". Harawira's email was seen as racist and heavily criticised by the media, other members of Parliament, and members of the public.[14][15]
After a lengthy discussion process, the Māori Party decided that he would not face punishment.[16] On Radio Waatea he apologised for the wording of his email but not for the sentiment of it.[17] He also said in an apology "My words were true."[18] Harawira later said that Labour Party leader Phil Goff was a "bastard" and "should be lined up against a wall and shot" for passing the Foreshore and Seabed Act.[19]
On 31 July 2010 Harawira told the New Zealand Herald he "wouldn't feel comfortable" if one of his children came home with a Pākehā partner, but he asked whether "all Pākehās would be happy with their daughters coming home with a Māori boy? The answer is they wouldn't." He was asked, since some of his whānau have dated Pacific Islanders and he didn't have an issue with it, "does that make him prejudiced?" He said "Probably, but how many people don't have prejudices?"[20]
Ngāpuhi activist[21] David Rankin said Harawira was "playing the race card every time he wants to 'create a smoke screen for other issues'".[22][23] A political opponent of Harawira's (he polled 202 votes to Harawira's 12,019 votes in the Tai Tokerau seat at the 2008 election), Rankin is Harawira's cousin and claims seniority over the Harawira family in the Matarahurahu hapū.[24] He noted that Harawira's grandfather was a Pākehā, saying "Harawira has a blind spot. His family even changed their name from Hatfield to Harawira because they are in denial about their racial identity."[25][26]
In contrast, Māori Party co-leader Pita Sharples said Harawira's comments probably reflected the views of many people and were not racist.[25] Also in his New Zealand Herald interview, Harawira said, when asked "why not be an independent MP?" that "I came here because the Maori Party provided me, and us, with the opportunity to change the world and I recognise the value of that."
Split with Māori Party[edit]
On 16 January 2011 in an interview published in the Sunday Star-Times, Harawira was highly critical of the Māori Party's relationship with the National Party, in particular over the Foreshore and Seabed issue, saying "If we support this bill, we're effectively saying that our coalition with National is more important than our commitment to Māori – surely not?"[27]
On 19 January 2011 the Māori Party received a complaint from one of its MP's Te Ururoa Flavell which was supported by all the Party's other MP's, Rahui Katene, Pita Sharples, and Tariana Turia.[28] A leak of the internal complaint document showed that all of the other Māori Party MPs had "lost trust and confidence" in Mr Harawira, that he "acted unethically and without integrity" and that he "deliberately undermined" the party and the leaders. A few days afterwards, Harawira called the procedure being followed to investigate the complaint a "joke" and "farcical", denying him natural justice. "I also think that it's very, very pākehā the way it's being run", he said.[29] In a later response, Harawira described his Party colleagues as "dickheads."[30]
On 7 February 2011 Harawira was suspended from the Māori Party caucus, with a statement by Turia and Sharples saying they had lost faith in him after five years of ill-discipline.[31] He responded saying he wishes to stay with the party and stand for it in the 2011 election.[32]
On 23 February 2011 Harawira left the Māori Party after the party's disciplinary committee recommended his expulsion.[33] His resignation coming following the Māori Party's support for the National Party, in particular over the Foreshore and Seabed issue, on 8 March 2011 Harawira missed the vote in Parliament for the crucial second reading of the legislation which replaced the Foreshore and Seabed Act.[34]
Mana Party[edit]
On 30 April 2011 he announced the formation of the Mana Party,[35] stating that he would resign from Parliament and would contest the resulting by-election. Harawira responded to criticisms that a by-election would be "a ridiculous publicity stunt mainly about the tens of thousands of dollars he stands to gain if he returns to Parliament as a party leader,"[36] and that it would cost New Zealand taxpayers $500,000, by arguing for the need to receive a fresh mandate from the people of Te Tai Tokerau, saying that "It's hardly an expense in terms of democracy."[37] On 3 May 2011 he delayed his planned resignation from Parliament, saying he wanted to take the decision back to the people of his Te Tai Tokerau electorate.[38] Although he was the leader of the Mana Party, he would remain an independent MP until elected as such.[39]
On 2 May 2011 in an interview on TVNZ's Māori-language programme 'Te Karere', Harawira said that the former leader of Al Qaeda Osama bin Laden's actions were those of "a man who fought for the rights, the land and the freedom of his people" and that people should not be damning him but mourn him.[40][41][42] Harawira later explained that Māori do not speak ill of the dead "even if such a person has done bad things", and apologised for how he had expressed himself, saying his mihi to the Bin Laden family was not intended "as support for Bin Laden's actions."[43] Harawira received threats following his remarks about bin Laden, which were dealt with by the police.[44]
Harawira's formal resignation from Parliament as an Independent MP on 11 May 2011, effective 21 May, caused a by-election in his Te Tai Tokerau constituency.[45] Harawira ran as the Mana Party's candidate and received 6065 votes, winning the seat with a majority of 1117.[46] Harawira returned to Parliament on 14 July 2011 during the Start of Day ceremony but was removed from the chamber by Speaker of the House Lockwood Smith for not pledging the oath of allegiance for newly elected Members of Parliament required by New Zealand law.[47] He returned on 2 August, affirmed the oath in Māori and as leader of the Mana Party took a seat on the front bench.[48]
Hone Harawira was returned to Parliament as the Member for Te Tai Tokerau at the general election held on 26 November, 2011.[49]

West Virginia--Calls Needed Today to Get Bills on Agenda
Dear HSLDA Members and Friends,
To restore the level of protection of religious freedom that we
enjoyed previously, it is vital that two bills--House Bill 3233 and
Senate Bill 701-- be acted on in committee no later than the deadline
of Friday, March 27.
But many other bills are clamoring for lawmakers' attention. For the
chairmen to put these bills on their agenda in time, we must convince
them it's important!
Please pass this on to others. This is a freedom issue that affects

call seven members of the House Judiciary and Senate Judiciary
committees listed below.
Your message to lawmakers in the House can be as simple as "Please put
H.B. 3233, the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, on the Judiciary
Committee agenda right away. It gives crucial protection to one of
our most precious rights, the right to exercise one's religion

In 1997, U.S. Supreme Court flip-flopped and dramatically lowered the
level of protection available for religious freedom. H.B 3233 and S.B.
701 would restore the same protection that existed before the Court's
lamentable decision.
Because of the 1997 Supreme Court decision, religious freedom cannot
be restored to the whole nation at once--it must be done on a
state-by-state basis. More than a dozen states have already done so.
On June 25, 1997, by a 6-3 majority, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in
The City of Boerne v. Flores that the 1993 federal Religious Freedom
Restoration Act (RFRA) was unconstitutional. By doing this, the Court
gave the lowest level of protection to religious liberty--one of the
foundational freedoms of homeschooling.
Under this minimal standard, the state can override a homeschooler's
or other citizen's right to freely exercise his religious beliefs
merely by proving that its regulation is "reasonable." Since nearly
all state regulations can be determined to be "reasonable," Christians
will lose.
Since the devastating decision, state and federal courts across the
country have diminished religious freedom in many ways. For example:
> The long-standing practice of pastor-laity confidentiality has been
repeatedly violated;
> There have been conflicts with zoning ordinances, such as the forced
termination of a church ministry to the homeless because it was
located on the second floor of a building with no elevator; and
> A church was prohibited from feeding more than 50 people per day.
Passage of H.B. 3233 and S.B 701 will raise the standard of protection
for religious freedom in West Virginia for individuals, homeschool
parents, churches, and all who desire to freely exercise their
religious beliefs.
If passed, the West Virginia RFRA will restore the high standard of
protection for religious liberty previously guaranteed in the federal
RFRA and earlier Supreme Court decisions. Under the West Virginia
RFRA, if an individual's religious belief is in conflict with a state
regulation, the state will have to prove, with evidence, that its
regulation is essential to fulfill a compelling state interest and is
the least restrictive means of doing so. If the state fails to carry
the burden, the regulation must give way to the individual's religious
freedom. Restoring this protection for religious freedom will simply
"even the playing field." More than a dozen other states have already
adopted Religious Freedom Restoration statutes.
In a somewhat ironic twist, Congress passed a law giving this higher
level of protection--to prisoners! Prisoners now have greater
protection for their religious liberty than you do. This must be

Don't let one decision by the U.S. Supreme Court denigrate this
priceless inalienable right. Support the West Virginia RFRA!

Star Beacon
ASHTABULA TOWNSHIP — As Andrew Konczal's 3 from the corner dropped to tie Edgewood's contest with Perry at 52 with 57.6 seconds left, the home Warrior crowd erupted.
As loud as it was in that moment on senior night, it was just as silent when Perry's Zack Buescher put back a Cale Burdyshaw missed free throw with 4.5 seconds to give the Pirates a 54-52 non-conference road win.
"I went on the right side because I'm a lefty and I just saw the ball bounce off the back of the iron, jumped up as high as I could, got it and went up with it," Buescher said. "It was awesome, it was senior night for them. It was good to come in here and get a last-second win."
Buescher was fouled on the shot and missed the ensuing free throw and a Dylan McCaleb heave from the backcourt bounced off the backboard as time expired.
Buescher's late-game heroics were set up by Perry (9-6) running 42.8 seconds off the clock before first-year Pirates coach Al Iacofano called timeout.
Perry came out with an isolation play for Burdyshaw and a reach-in foul 20-feet from the basket was called on Edgewood (11-6), sending Burdyshaw to the line for a one-and-one, which he missed.
In what was a physical, back-and-forth contest, Warriors coach John Bowler didn't like to see the game decided by an official's call. He also added that the Pirates' patience on offense caused his team to foul at times.
"I really hate when the refs put it in their hands with 10 seconds to play in the game," he said. "You should let the players play. These kind of man-to-man, physical games for us, we've learned now how to play with that type of game so it doesn't bother us as much.
"But they (Perry) pass the ball, they're very patient and that made us foul too much at times."
A close win is nothing to new for Iacofano, who said his team has been down that road plenty times before.
"We've been in a lot of close games, we have nine wins, of those nine wins, eight of them have been games like this, not last second, but a couple possession wins," he said. "They've been there before, they held their composure and didn't get too worried."
Perry scored the opening hoop of the game and
actually never trailed, with Edgewood's only time coming on Konczal's 3 in the final minute.
The Pirates stretched their lead to 44-35 in the fourth period, but Warrior point guard Connor McLaughlin (11 points) buried back to back 3-pointers in a span of 15 seconds with 5:18 remaining to make it a one possession game.
The teams battled back and forth the rest of the way and a Matt Fitchet bucket with 1:40 brought the Warriors within one at 50-49. A layup by Ian Illig (13 points) pushed the lead to three before Konczal's 3 tied it.
Bowler said the 3 was important for Konczal, who had game-highs in rebounding and scoring with 18 points and 11 boards.
"It was (big), he couldn't (hit a jumper throughout) so he was due," Bowler said. "He knows he can shoot it anytime he wants. I wish we could've made a few more foul shots. We're the best foul shooting team in the county and tonight we weren't."
Buescher said Iacofano was able to pull the team together after Konczal's shot.
"Coach just pulled us in and said, 'Don't worry about that 3,'" he said. "The place was going crazy though, it was hard to hear. We wanted to hold for the last shot and gladly I got the rebound and put it in."
For Iacofano, Buescher's bucket was big for a sophomore who was still developing.
"That's a big play for Zack, he's only a sophomore, he's made a leap from freshmen basketball to varsity, he's played a lot of minutes for us," he said. "He keeps fighting, we're on him a lot, we have expectations for him. To see him fight and be physically aggressive and fight for that rebound and go up strong.
"That's the sign of growth we're looking for and something we can build on."
Perry was led in scoring by Illig's 13 followed by Burdyshaw's 11, Anthony Keipert with 9 and Ryan Zalatel with 8.
Bowler said with a close loss, his Warriors need to focus on the small things that add up in such games.
"We missed two or three layups, we didn't shoot good from the foul line so there's a lot of little things we need to correct," he said. "Sometimes, we didn't box out at the foul line, they got the ball back and got another chance. We just gotta do better. We gotta work harder. We gotta eliminate those little silly mistakes we're making.
"It (the loss) magnifies it to me 100 percent. It really does. At this point in the season, we shouldn't be doing some of the things we're doing. I shouldn't have to holler, 'box out!' every time a team takes a shot. These little things, right now, we gotta stop. We're getting close to tournament time and if we do this in the tournament, it's gonna be a quick out."

Sickness, job loss, home repairs, car repairs--there are so many things that can rock your financial boat. Are you prepared to handle them? Start an emergency fund, and you won't have to wonder.
Difficulty: Average
Time Required: 1-2 hours
Here's How:
Decide how much you'd like to save.
$1,000, three to six month's living expenses, a year's wages--there are a lot of opinions out there about how much money you should put into an emergency fund, but the only opinion that matters is yours. Ask yourself how much you would need to have tucked away to feel secure, and make that the amount that you save in your emergency fund.
-If the amount you chose is based on a certain number of month's living expenses, proceed to step 2.
-If the amount you chose is a specific dollar amount, skip to step 3.
Calculate your monthly expenses.
Make a list of all of your regular monthly expenses--housing costs, food, utilities, debt repayments, transportation costs, insurance and all of your other "must-pay" bills. You can use the Build-a-Budget Worksheet to make this step easier. Then, total your monthly expenses, and multiply the resulting figure by the number of month's that you chose in step 1. For example, if you need to cover $2,500 in monthly expenses for three months, you'll need to set aside $7,500 in your emergency fund.
Open an account.
Once you've determined how much you need to save, it's time to decide where you'll keep your money. Since you want your emergency fund to remain fairly accessible, a savings account, money market account or short-term certificates of deposit make good sense. Any one of these accounts will give you the liquidity that you need, while still earning you some interest.
Determine how much you can afford to save.
If you're like most people, it's going to take time to build up your emergency fund--probably even a lot of time. That's okay. The important thing is that you get started today. Look over your finances, and determine how much you can afford to put towards your emergency fund each month. Even $10 a month will help, so don't worry if that's all you can afford to do.
Set up automatic deposits.
Make saving easy by scheduling automatic deposits to your emergency fund. Then, sit back and watch as the balance grows month-after-month.
Find ways to boost your savings efforts.
Turn a creative eye on your finances, and you're bound to find ways to reach your savings goal faster. Here are a few sources that should help:

Match Preview
Barry set to enter 500 club Roberto Martinez has paid tribute to Gareth Barry on the eve of a game which is likely to see the Everton midfielder join the elite band of players to have made 500 Barclays Premier League appearances. Should, as expected, Barry feature for the Toffees against Newcastle on Monday night he would become just the 10th player since the Premier League's inception in 1992 to have played in 500 games, putting him in the company of the likes of Ryan Giggs, Frank Lampard and former Everton utility man Phil Neville. The 32-year-old burst on to the scene with Aston Villa in 1997 and was a part of Manchester City's title-winning squad in 2012 prior to his summer loan move to Goodison Park. His departure came as a shock to some in the City camp, according to Everton full-back Leighton Baines, and Martinez sees no indication Barry's talent will wane. "I don't think there are many more significant records than that," the Everton boss said of Barry's potential landmark on Monday. "I think it represents his professionalism, the way he looks after himself, the way he sees the game and the experience that he brings into any side. "And you can add the 50 appearances he's had for England, so far. He's in such a great moment in his career." While one of Martinez's recruits prepares for game number 500, another, defender Antolin Alcaraz, is still waiting for his Toffees debut. The Paraguayan followed his manager's path from Wigan to Goodison Park this summer but is yet to pull on the Everton shirt due to a succession of injuries. Martinez revealed the latest problem is a groin injury which is likely to see Alcaraz sidelined for another month yet. "Nothing is more frustrating than injuries," the Spaniard added. "As a player you can cope with any sort of disappointment. If you're not in the team, if you're not performing well, there's always that opportunity to go out and train next morning. "When you're out of that day-to-day work in the dressing room you just don't feel like a footballer. When you arrive into a new club you want to have that feeling of being able to compete and show what you can do. "But Antolin is a fighter, he is a leader, he's been through many, many situations. We are excited to see the best of Antolin in the next four weeks and I do feel that now we are going to be able to do it." Martinez has better news elsewhere on the injury front with both Alcaraz's former Latics team-mate Arouna Kone and Leon Osman likely to overcome the injuries which kept them out of the midweek Capital One Cup loss to Fulham. Central midfielder Darron Gibson has shown no reaction after returning from a knee injury and South African Steven Pienaar has an outside shot of recovering from his hamstring problem. Those returns would give Martinez welcome selection dilemmas. Newcastle boss Alan Pardew has tipped Everton to be this season's Premier League surprise package. The 52-year-old takes his side to Goodison Park on Monday evening hoping they can bounce back from a wasteful 3-2 home defeat by Hull last weekend in which they took the lead twice but could not retain it. However, he knows that could be intensely difficult against a side which is yet to lose in the league this season. The Toffees are under new management following David Moyes' departure for Manchester United, and Marouane Fellaini's decision to join the Scot at Old Trafford robbed them of one of their most influential players. Asked if new man Martinez had big shoes to fill, Pardew said: "Yes, but they have signed some good players and you would have to say that they have got what looks like a stronger squad than David had last year. "Certainly the chairman there has done his bit, and they could be the surprise package of the season." The Spaniard is busily stamping his own mark on the players he inherited from Moyes having added summer signings James McCarthy, Barry and Romelu Lukaku to the mix, and the early signs have been promising. Everton have beaten Chelsea and West Ham and drawn with Norwich, West Brom and Cardiff, and although they slipped out of the Capital One Cup at the hands of Fulham on Tuesday, they went into the weekend sitting in sixth place in the Premier League. Pardew has been impressed by what Martinez has done so far, and expects a slightly different approach to the one adopted by Moyes' teams over the years. However, he is confident the Magpies will be able to cope with that having returned to winning ways with a 2-0 League Cup victory over Leeds in midweek. He said: "Their retention of the ball will probably be greater under Roberto. But what we have shown is that we have got a real offensive look about us. But we have got to make sure we are tight enough to cope with that. "We weren't against Hull, but in the last three or four games other than that game, we have been and that's important. "If we are going to have a more offensive look, then we have got to make sure the back door is shut. "It was on Wednesday night. We got a clean sheet again and that was a good thing." Pardew made six changes for the Leeds game as he rested some of his key men and handed chances to youngsters Paul Dummett and Sammy Ameobi. But his big guns are likely to return at Everton with Yohan Cabaye, Hatem Ben Arfa and Loic Remy, who scored both the Magpies goals against Hull, certain to be restored to the starting line-up.

Gun Control Debate Clouds Definition of Mentally Ill
Some states have already set their parameters as the Senate soon takes up its own bill.
Customers line up at the gun counter at Duke's Sport Shop in January in New Castle, Pa.
Who with mental illness should not be allowed to have a gun?
That was the question debated by mental health experts, members of law enforcement, gun control advocates and gun violence researchers in a conference at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore last month. "There are mental illness diagnoses that do increase your risk of violence," says Josh Horwitz, who organized the event and is executive director of the gun control group Coalition to Stop Gun Violence. "But identifying which [diagnoses] those are and who those people are is going to be difficult."
[RELATED: Asperger's, Autism Not Linked to Violence, Some Experts Say]
The consequences for trying to link a diagnosis to violent behavior became clear after it was revealed that Newtown shooter Adam Lanza was possibly autistic. The autism community came out in full force to debunk any report that tried to draw such a link. And recent research shows the risk of violent acts committed by those with mental health diagnoses as part of the total population was just 3-5 percent.
And yet the same question of gun access for those with mental illness will be posed to members of the Senate when they come back from recess Monday and consider legislation that asks for tougher gun background checks for those deemed mentally incompetent.
Few in the gun control debate agree on the answer to the question, but most say the current system isn't working.
Current federal law says any person who has been formally committed to a mental institution, such as by court order, or who has been adjudicated as a so-called "mental defective," cannot get access to a gun.
Those standards aren't condoned by mental health professionals, who say the term "mental defective" is deeply offensive, as well as not clearly defined. Gun control groups, meanwhile, say the law doesn't do nearly enough to keep guns away from people who shouldn't have them. And even gun rights groups have problems with the current system, with the NRA saying recently that states needed to do a better job at submitting names of mentally ill people to the National Instant Criminal Background System (NICS). The NRA is right that states haven't been great at compliance – almost 20 states submitted fewer than 100 mental health records to the database as of October 2012, according to research from the gun control group Mayors Against Illegal Guns.
[ALSO: NRA School Shield Suggests Schools Arm More People]
So while there are problems with the current system, most groups involved in the debate disagree about how to fix them. And nowhere is that fight playing out more vigorously than at the state level.
The same concerns are playing out in New York, where legislation with a similar bent recently went into effect. The New York Safe Act of 2013 requires mental health professionals to report a patient to county governments if they believe he or she is "likely to engage in conduct that would result in serious harm to self or others."
When the bill was passed in January, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said that "people who have mental health issues should not have guns... they could hurt themselves. They could hurt other people."
The mental health community wasn't happy with Cuomo's broad-brush statement, nor with his legislation.
"The treatment providers themselves are saying [to this legislation]: 'Look, we are supposed to help people, enter therapeutic relationships," says Ron Honberg of the National Alliance on Mental Illness. "If we're responsible for making judgments about people who may be violent and reporting them to state police, then that's going to compromise the relationship."
Honberg says he also believes the legislation is "one more factor that could make people reluctant to seek help."

The Mankato Free Press
---- — Bob Jentges (in his Sept. 8 letter) is correct in providing the real name of "The Death Panel" — Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB) — though I doubt many understand its role after being so labeled by the opponents of the Affordable Care Act. What he didn't tell you is that the panel consists of 15 members appointed by the president after consultation with majority and minority leaders of both houses.
The IPAB is charged with finding ways of reducing Medicare costs without affecting coverage or quality. Furthermore, the law allows Congress to override any decision by the panel with a super-majority vote.
Why is this panel so scary when heretofore insurance companies have freely determined what they will and will not pay for, deny coverage for whatever reason, and cap payments without regard to individual needs? (As an example, one of my patients was denied coverage for depression since the term "anxiety" appeared in an old entry in her chart proving that the depression was pre-existing.)
Advancements in medicine and technology have combined to produce amazing treatments and procedures with potential profound effects on health. They come with amazing price tags, too. We all — providers and consumers alike — have a stake in the appropriate use of medicine.
Contrary to popular opinion, the most thorny questions that arise are not money-driven. Rather, they are concerns over the appropriateness of a particular action and the expectations of provider and patient. Just because something can be done doesn't mean it should be done. Sometimes the best course is a palliative approach, focusing on the patient and not the disease.
Conservatives have opposed any health care reform since Harry Truman proposed a national program in 1945. Even Medicare wasn't spared. Don't you find it ironic that now in the 21st century, "Keep your government hands off my Medicare" has become a tea party mantra?
But it is refreshing to see the answer to the root question of this debate — is health care a right or a privilege? If you agree that it is a privilege, then you most likely have insurance and you should oppose any tampering with the status quo. Obstruct, obfuscate, lie if you must. After all, you have access to the best health care money can buy. As I see things, it is difficult to separate "health care" from "life," one of the rights even Jentges agrees we have. It's time we caught up to the rest of the civilized world in this regard.

One mom is thinking out of the (toy) box. One of Mary Fischer's hints for keeping grandparents from buying too many toys is to have them clean the playroom. She thinks that when grandparents see how many toys their grandchildren have, they will dial back the gifting.
I'm not sure if Fischer's strategy would work, but it's worth a try. Some grandparents, however, believe that they have an inalienable right to spoil the grandchildren.
I'm not a super-indulgent grandparent in the first place, but I do try to be considerate of the parents, who have to find places to put all the toys the grandparents buy. One of my strategies is shared gifting. Every year at Christmas the grandchildren get some toys that stay at my house. The label says, "To all the grandchildren," and the grands know that they don't get to take those gifts home. Blocks, games, art supplies and outdoor play equipment make great shared gifts.
Do your gift-giving habits cause strain in your family? How does your family handle holiday gift-giving?

I take total recommendations from parents. My daughter will often purchase a gift for our youngest grandchild and put our names on it then I will send her the money. I cannot bear to purchase something the children won't need or use. Now that most of our grandchildren are older, we send money. They do love that.
- November 8, 2012 at 8:48 am(2) NSGill says:
When my stepdaughters were little and didn't stay with us all the time, we sometimes gave them gifts that were meant to stay with us, so they would have something to play with on our weekends. I don't think they liked it, but it made sense, and would probably cause less friction with grandkids.

Because Amara visits so often many of the gifts we get her are to keep here, not all but most. I often use holidays as an excuse to get Amara new sheets and stuff for her room — she is usually very happy with that especially if she gets to help pick them out. I do make her clean out her old toys just before Christmas and Birthday. We used to donate them but now she has younger cousins and some of them go to them or to the other Grandma's for all of them to play with.

I like your idea of shared gift giving and the gift staying at grandma's. I'll have to remember that for when I have more grandchildren. This is the first year I'm considering a shared gift for my grandsons. May be giving one each plus one to share. They have SO much already, they'd surely be okay with nothing from me, though that wouldn't sit well with me.
- November 12, 2012 at 9:34 pm(6) Grammy Sandy says:
My grandchildren live about an hour away and I stay with them one day a week. So I buy most presents to stay at my house and also add to their college funds. Then I take a toy or two with me to their house just for the day I'm with them. Occasionally they'll ask to keep something for the week and that's fun, too. It's great to have those "occasional" toys. And I really watch garage sales, too, so I don't feel bad about spending lots of money.
- November 13, 2012 at 6:40 am(7) Joyce says:
One thing I wish my daughters would stop doing is buying toys all year round so there is nothing left for us (grandpa and grandma) to buy at Christmas or birthdays. However, I have learned from this site that it is really none of my business what they do with their own money! I just ordered more trucks for the boys because that's what they picked out of a toy catalog and mommy approved (I always get approval). I need to deliver wrapped gifts for Christmas more than they need to get them! And yes, the materialism does bother me, but at the moment I can't come up with a solution when 4 year olds are involved.
- November 13, 2012 at 2:25 pm(8) Ellen Zimmerman says:
Interesting timing of this post! My husband and I were looking at toys today. While our older grandson will learn to share with his baby brother, we think that the little guy needs some things of his own. Yet, on the other hand, he doesn't really "need" toys. He needs practical things, like socks. So, as others here have said, we were thinking that we'd get a thing or two to keep here for visits. I can see from the responses that this dilemma gets more complicated as kids get older. Thanks for the forum to help teach us newbie grand-rents!

Tropical Storm Irene setting for mystery novelBy WILSON RING
The Associated Press | October 01,2013AP PHOTO
Archer Mayor looks over fallen gravestones from Tropical Storm Irene in Woodlawn Cemetery in Rochester. Two years after Tropical Storm Irene, one of the states top home-grown mystery writers, Mayor, is using the storm as the backdrop for his latest book.MONTPELIER Two years after Tropical Storm Irene inundated Vermont, Newfane mystery writer Archer Mayor is using the chaos and destruction of the storm as the setting for his latest book, Three Can Keep a Secret, apparently the first piece of fiction to chronicle the storm and how Vermonters reacted to it.
Mayor said his goal is to chronicle how Vermont and Vermonters deal with the modern world.
Its one of the biggest events to have occurred in this state in quite a while. We still refer to the floods of the 20s and 30s as being monumental even though most of us werent alive, Mayor said. We are going to be referring to Irene many, many decades from now.
In the book, Mayor describes how Irene flooded the state, sending cars into torrents or how the floodwaters flushed into the open decades-old, previously unknown mysteries.
The main mystery takes its cue from to real-life closure of the Vermont State Hospital in Waterbury during the flooding. In the book, a wrongly hospitalized patient escapes. Mayors main character, an investigator, works to learn what happened to her. The book also explores what happens after a single grave in a cemetery washes out and a casket is broken open, revealing rocks rather than human remains.
Fiction helps artists make sense of events, said University of Vermont professor and author Philip Baruth, who is also a state senator.
That was a traumatic event and society as a whole does what individual artists do they use stories, they use fiction, Baruth said.
Theres a fine line between turning human experiences into fiction and taking advantage of human suffering for art, Baruth said.
Mayor said he works hard to separate fictionalization of reality from actual cases. He makes clear in the book his fictional cemetery is not in Rochester, where about 50 graves washed into the White River.
I wanted to, in effect, pay homage to the disaster that hit Rochester, Mayor said.
State Rep. Anne Donahue, R-Northfield, a longtime advocate for the mentally ill, said she objected to the premise that someone could have been wrongly hospitalized at the state hospital for decades.
Having no other symptoms that an independent psychiatrist wouldnt recognize is playing to a kind of public assumption that just doesnt exist anymore, Donahue said.
Mayor said he wasnt indicting Vermonts mental health system. His premise was a specialized circumstance.
Ill guarantee you in every single book Ive ever written there have been people who objected to it, he said. It is not, as I see it, the job of the writer of fiction to be held responsible for every single individuals advocacy.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) --Thousands of colorful runners will take Charleston by storm Saturday morning, meaning drivers can expect detours.
Officers with the Charleston Police Department tell WSAZ.com Kanawha Boulevard from Magic Island to Greenbrier Street will be closed from 6 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday.
Nearly half of the 4,700 people registered Friday for the Color Vibe 5K event picked up their gear from the Civic Center.
Colored corn syrup powder will be thrown on runners during the event. Participants like Lauren Kelly tell WSAZ.com Saturday's race will be memorable.
"We're going to get up tomorrow morning and have a ball," Kelly said.
The race travels to different cities. Organizers tell WSAZ.com they have partnered with local charities, so part of Saturday's proceeds goes toward good causes.

If you're considering a burglar alarm in Cape Canaveral and professional ADT monitoring, you should know a thing or two about crime rates. Property crimes dropped 0.5% across the nation in 2011, according to the FBI. That means there was a reported 9,063,173 reported property crimes across the nation that year. At the same time, the national burglary rate increased by 0.9%. Which is why helping protect your home with an ADT monitored home alarm system is still an important decision.

Did you know that 74.5% of all burglaries are in private residences? A break-in happens every 14.4 seconds in America. Based on national crime rates, your chances of experiencing a break-in this year are approximately 1 in 143. Getting a security system, such as those monitored by ADT, in Cape Canaveral can make your chances closer to 1 in 429. A University study concluded that homes with monitored alarm systems are up to 3 times less likely3 to be targeted.
Home alarm systems in Cape Canaveral cost less than what you risk to lose if you experience a break-in. In 2011, the FBI reported an approximate loss of $15.6 billion across the nation, because of property crimes. Burglaries alone cost U.S. homeowners a total of $4.8 billion. How are you affected by this? People in Cape Canaveral stand to lose about $2,200 in the event of a burglary. Investing in an affordable ADT monitored home alarm system is worth it.

Journal Sentinel book editor Jim Higgins highlights things worth reading, in print and online
George Pelecanos visits Milwaukee Thursday
With Elmore Leonard having ascended to a higher jurisdiction, George Pelecanos might be our greatest active writer of tough-guy urban crime fiction. (Feel free to post your suggestion for the tough-guy writing crown as a comment.)
Local readers can catch Pelecanos twice on Oct. 17: He'll sign books at 5 p.m. at Mystery One Bookshop, 2109 N. Prospect Ave. then speak and sign at 7 p.m. at Boswell Book Company, 2559 N. Downer Ave.
His new novel, "The Double," brings back Spero Lucas, whom Pelecanos introduced in "The Cut." Here's how Los Angeles Times book critic David L. Ulin described Lucas in his review of "The Double":
"...a former Marine turned legal investigator who moonlights by taking cases for himself. In some sense, Spero is a detective in the classic mold, an outsider with a code of honor that doesn't always jibe with the law. At the same time, he's a very contemporary protagonist, an Iraq War veteran and D.C. lifer concerned that his gentrifying city is losing its soul."
In the new novel, after Lucas is hired to recover a stolen painting, he must grapple with a lethal adversary with whom he shares enough in common to make the book's title fulfilling.

Chicago emo quintet The Academy Is… have broken up after a nine-year career resulting in three studio albums. "We celebrate the experiences of our past, as we welcome what lies ahead," reads a statement on the band's official website. "While we have never managed to make things easy on ourselves, it is safe to say that we have always found common ground in our love of music. And though we may not be together, you can look forward to hearing new music from each of us."

Frontman William Beckett went into more detail about the split on his blog. "For years there has been a growing distance felt within the band as we've progressed, both geographically and artistically, and instead of trying to patch the holes we're left with, my heart tells me it's time to move on with the next chapter in our lives," he wrote. Beckett added that he is about to begin work on a new record and that he has "never felt more freedom and inspiration to create my best and most honest work yet."
