Presidential candidates meet at debate organised by main labour union confederations
print this
A certain amount of differences and actual arguments occurred on Wednesday evening at a debate of six presidential candidates.
The event was organised by three Finnish labour union confederations - the Central Organisation of Finnish Trade Unions (SAK), the Finnish Confederation of Professionals (STTK), and the Confederation of Unions for Professional and Managerial Staff in Finland (AKAVA), and took place at Helsinki's Old Student House.
Disagreements emerged on presidential authority, and somewhat surprisingly on the performance of outgoing President
Tarja Halonen
Social Democratic Party candidate
Paavo Lipponen
was critical of what he saw as a lack of respect in connection with the so-called "plate dispute".
He was referring to the decision by Prime Minister
Matti Vanhanen
(Centre) whose government decided that the President should not, as a rule, attend summits of the EU.
This ended the practice under which a second plate had to be reserved for Finland at summit dinners.
Lipponen said that the matter could have been handled better, and with more respect for the President.
Green League candidate
Pekka Haavisto
came to the defence of Vanhanen, while criticising Halonen.
Haavisto said that the Finnish Minister for Foreign Affairs was often left uninformed about matters related to the EU meetings because the minister had to make way for the President.
According to Haavisto, the President did not even bother to brief the Foreign Minister on what happened at the meeting. "That is why rules were needed", Haavisto said.
True Finns candidate
Timo Soini
took the opportunity to criticise statements made by President Halonen on racism in an interview with
Helsingin Sanomat
earlier this month (
see linked article
On this matter
Eva Biaudet
(Swed. People's Party) came to President Halonen's defence, saying that Finland needs more and not less discussion on the issue, and she felt that the President's statement was a welcome move.
President Halonen's performance
was also mentioned when the candidates discussed the issue of presidential authority, which will be curtailed further at the beginning of March 2012, the point at which the new president takes office.
Haavisto criticised Halonen's outspokenness in the issue. He noted that the change was based on a decision by Parliament.
Both Soini and National Coalition Party candidate
Sauli Niinistö
felt that the constitutional change is taking too much authority away from the presidency.
Lipponen disagreed, and asked what had happened to respect for the authority of Parliament.
Lipponen criticised Niinistö
for placing himself above Parliament in a role in which the President keeps bad politicians in check.
He also said that Soini seems to have become intoxicated by the popular mandate.
Lipponen voiced the view that the candidates do not have enough self-confidence.
He noted that the President continues to have significant power in leading foreign policy.
Biaudet also was quite comfortable with the revised presidential powers.
Pekka Haavisto took a swing at Centre Party candidate
Paavo Väyrynen
, saying that he would not be comfortable with a surly president who sees himself as a challenger of the government, refusing to sign legislation that is not to his liking.
The unusually lively panel discussion
also brought forward some concrete initiatives.
Haavisto called for more meetings of the foreign and security policy committee of the President and government. He also said that both the president and the government should be allowed to convene the meeting.
Niinistö felt that the Greek loan crisis should be handled by professionals - that is, the International Monetary Fund. He said that the EU should "stop treating its own child".
"The IMF might do it in a brusque manner, but then it will be taken care of", argued Niinistö.
Taking part in the panel
were six of the eight presidential candidates.
Absent were Left Alliance candidate
Paavo Arhinmäki
and Christian Democrat
Sari Essayah

Thirty Days of Drivers
Just imagine not being able to drive to the doctor, pharmacy or grocery store
whenever you needed? When an elderly person is unable to drive or without
transportation, they must rely on others. Fortunately the Health Resource Centers in
Grimes, Leon, Madison and Burleson counties have vans for volunteer drivers to
provide this service, but more volunteer drivers are needed. If thirty volunteers
would drive just one day a month, 12 times a year, the staff at the Health
Resource Center would be able to schedule rides for everyone needing
Giving a day a month to serve as a volunteer driver is a great way to honor the
memory of a parent or family member who gave their time to help others.
Continue the legacy of service – call today and be part of the "Thirty Days of
Drivers" team.

The Griff (eBook)
The Griff (eBook)
Outrageously funny New York Times bestselling author Christopher Moore and award-winning screenwriter-director Ian Corson team up for a wacky and entertaining graphic tale of alien invasion and a motley crew of Earthlings trying to stay alive and, oh, yeah, save humankind.
The mayhem begins when an ancient alien beacon is unwittingly activated, summoning behemoth spaceships from the far reaches of the galaxy. Hovering in Earth's atmosphere, they release a biblical stream of pods that transform into minivan-size, people-eating, flying lizardy things that look like mythological griffins. Destroying communications, emergency, and military infrastructure, they systematically kill everyone on the planet. Well, almost everyone.
A pesky trio of New Yorkers isn't about to roll out the red carpet—or roll over and die—for these unwelcome intergalactic marauders. Unlikely heroes Mo, a snarky, Gothy game-goddess; Steve, a skateboard-punk schwag whore; and Curt, the obligatory buff commando expert in weaponry (and a genius with cosmetics), are going to take it to the aliens—and Florida is where the fight is. Armed with M-16s, a BFG (big f**king gun), and a surplus of guts, they'll battle their way from the Big Apple to Orlando, where a downed spacecraft is the most awesome new attraction.
And in the Sunshine State another pair of courageous (and pretty damn lucky) humans who have outwitted the toothy überlizards await: Liz, a babelicious killer whale trainer at Ocean World, and Oscar, a chain-smoking middle-aged professional squirrel (seriously—he's paid to wear that squirrel costume).
Once united, the intrepid warriors will attempt to infiltrate the alien spacecraft, defeat the spacer invaders, and save (what's left) of the world—and, if Steve plays his cards right, begin the fun of repopulating Earth all over again.
About the Author
Christopher Moore is the author of twelve previous novels: Practical Demonkeeping, Coyote Blue, Bloodsucking Fiends, Island of the Sequined Love Nun, The Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove, Lamb, Fluke, The Stupidest Angel, A Dirty Job, You Suck, Fool, and Bite Me. He lives in San Francisco, California.

An incredible talent whose contralto voice, girl next door looks, and undeniable charm turned her into a star, Judy Garland was once hailed by Fred Astaire as one of the greatest entertainers who ever lived. After getting her start on the vaudeville stage, Garland made the jump to Hollywood and became a star alongside lifelong friend, Mickey Rooney.
Her starring role in one of Hollywood's most iconic classic movies turned her into a legend, though by the mid-1940s Garland was struggling mightily from a number of personal travails. Mental health, tax issues, low self-esteem, and drug and alcohol addiction plagued the young star at various points in her career. Still, she enjoyed enormous success in movies and later on the Broadway stage, though her personal struggles ultimately led to her downfall.
Regardless of the tragedy of her personal life, Garland remained an icon in the truest sense and has earned legion of new fans with every successive generation. Here are six classic movies starring the incomparable Judy Garland.

What: Right to Vote Rally
When: Tuesday, July 23 4pm-8pm
Where: Parking Lot on Ave K between 9th St & 10th St
Details: Join the Lubbock County Democratic Party on Tuesday, July 23rd as we defend the right of our citizens to vote! The new Texas Voter ID law represents voter suppression, voter intimidation, and a poll tax all rolled into one awful law. Our purpose at the Right to Vote Rally is to demonstrate these problems with the Texas voter ID law through example and through expert speakers.
From 4pm-6pm, we will send test cases and witnesses over to the Lubbock DPS office to attempt to get the free Election Identification Cards (EICs) that are a part of the new law. We will test several different scenarios to see what happens.
From 6pm-8pm, we will have speakers about Voter ID, live music from Jenni Dale Lord, and free drinks and snacks. We will also introduce the Voter Protection Team -- a group of local attorneys who have agreed to be "on call" during elections to help citizens overcome challenges to their Constitutionally guaranteed right to vote.
Additionally, every Lubbock Democratic Club (including Battleground Texas) will be represented with a table at the event.
We will also have an opportunity to meet and get to know a Democratic Party candidate for Texas 19th Congressional District.

One Southern California high school has added twerking to its list of dances that are banned for students.
The Orange County Register reports Tuesday that administrators at Aliso Niguel High School decided the rump-busting dance is sexually suggestive and should no longer be allowed on campus or at dances.
Twerking now joins "freaking" and "grinding" as prohibited dances at the Orange County school. Those who break the rules could be ineligible for future dances for the remainder of the school year. Parents also will be notified.
No other high schools in the Capistrano Unified School District say they have banned twerking.
Twerking has gained recent popularity among teens thanks to pop star Miley Cyrus, but the dance has been around for a while.

Well, that was informative. A lot of people came into this week questioning Baylor's schedule and wondering what the hell OU was going to be capable of this year. I think it's safe to say that those questions were answered emphatically; although, since this is college football that just means that the new question on everyone's minds is "can Baylor take their show on the road?" Well, I'm sorry, but you'll just have to wait a couple weeks to find out the answer to that one. On to the recaps!
Oklahoma Sooners at Baylor Bears (L, 12-41)
Oh boy, was I excited for this one. On the one hand, I and others really wanted to find out if Baylor was "for real," and OU ostensibly provided a great test of that theory. On the other hand, I was already pretty certain that Baylor was legit and OU wasn't, so I was also highly anticipating the schadenfreude I figured this game might provide. And oh, did it provide me with that. Despite Bryce Petty looking like a first-time starter for arguably the first time this year and spotting OU a touchdown-free first quarter, Baylor proceeded to blow the wheels off of OU's wagon late in the second quarter. In the last eight minutes of the second quarter Baylor scored 21 points, the last of those on a 24-yard catch by Antwan Goodley with 13 seconds left when everyone knew that no matter how little time was left, Baylor was going to score a touchdown before half. After that, OU was done.
That kind of psychological advantage is pretty imposing, almost as imposing as a team that can outscore you by 29 points despite spotting you 15 minutes of game time, giving you a safety, losing their most established receiver, and losing their top two running backs. I know that some of you think that Okie Lite is going to give Baylor a rude awakening in Stillwater - just don't count me among your number.
Stats of note: 255 rushing yards for Baylor. 182 of those yards came from Baylor's third string running back, Shock Linwood (aside: forget the fact that Baylor has arguably the best running back situation in the entire country. What's unarguable is that they have the best running back names - Lache Seastrunk, Glasco Martin, and the aforementioned Shock Linwood). Another 45 came from Bryce Petty (56 if you discount sack yardage) who is a much more effective runner than people give him credit for.
Also of note: 15-35, 150 yards, 4.3 yards per passing attempt, 1 TD, 2 INTs, 8 carries, 5 yards rushing. Blake Bell is looking less and less like the answer at QB with every passing week, which has to make some Sooner fans worry about the future. Relax, guys, Josh Heupel is more than capable of saving the day! I don't believe that, but I'm not an OU fan so I don't have to.
TCU Horned Frogs at Iowa State Cyclones (W, 21-17)
I didn't watch enough of this game to really comment on it, other than to say that it's hard to tell who has the worse quarterback situation. I would say that TCU would "win" that comparison hands down under normal circumstances, but Sam Richardson has been injured all year for ISU, and a hobbled Richardson or a fully healthy Grant Rohach doesn't scare anyone other than your own fans. Casey Pachall, on the other hand, is actually a capable quarterback, though he's not really in a situation that allows him to show that. One guy who is actually capable of showing his ability is Trevone Boykin, who is one hell of a wildcat quarterback (though, again, a pretty terrible normal one). Boykin scored three rushing TDs in this game, with the last one coming with 38 seconds left in the game to turn a TCU defeat into
another bone-chilling loss for ISU victory.
Stats of note: TCU average 6.8 yards per pass for the second game in a row in conference, which is a borderline miracle. I still wonder what this offense would have looked like with Pachall behind center for the entire season, but it's bad enough as is that I don't think it would have mattered, other maybe than in their games against Tech and OU.
Also of note: ISU had a kickoff return touchdown in this game, meaning their offense only scored 10 points. Does that make the loss more bearable? Less? I'm glad I'm not in the position of having to decide.
Kansas Jayhawks at Oklahoma State Cowboys (L, 6-42)
As I said before, recapping KU games is pretty much an exercise in futility. KU had arguably their best offensive performance of the season (against a legit defense, no less) and was held to single digits in scoring for the first time all year. Funny how that works. For their part, OSU probably welcomed the de facto bye week before having to play @UT, Baylor, and OU in their last three games.
Stats of note: OSU struggled without the big play in this game, only converting 6-15 third downs and running for 2.7 yards a carry. This was a good week to not be elite on offense.
Also of note: Montell Cozart saw exclusive action in the second half, indicating that the Jake Heaps era might just be over (for this year, at least!) in Lawrence. For his part, Cozart looks talented, very raw, and fast. Hopefully he doesn't get too shell-shocked over the next couple weeks as KU seeks to get a win against either WVU or ISU.
Texas Longhorns at West Virginia Mountaineers (W, 47-40)
Man, what a great college football game. Just for quick reference, check out these scores of WVU games over the past couple years since they joined the conference: 70-63, 48-45, 39-38, 50-49, 31-24, 30-27, 47-40. Those are some exciting affairs! While the offense hasn't been as light's out spectacular as last year, the defense has taken enough of a step forward (while still allowing enough big plays on the back end) that WVU has still found themselves in some highly exciting and competitive affairs, especially down the stretch of the conference season.
This game really had way too much going on for me to adequately relate all of it, but the important thing is that the final minute of the third quarter and the entire fourth consisted of 5 consecutive lead-changing scores: an 8-yard run by Joe Bergeron to put UT up 30-26, 8-yard run by Dreamius Smith to put WVU up 33-30, a 10-yard grab by Jaxon Shipley to put UT back up 37-33, a 72-yard (!) pass from backup QB Paul Millard to Mario Alford to regain the lead for WVU at 40-37, and then finally a 24-yard field goal by Anthony Fera with 13 seconds left to send it to overtime.
UT scored a touchdown on their first possession of overtime, and WVU looked to be about to do the same after getting first and goal from the Texas 5 on their overtime possession. Incompletion, incompletion, interception, and the Mack Brown redemption train rolls on.
Stats of note: West Virginia turned it over 5 times and still had a shot to win this game, somehow.
Also of note: Texas only averaged 5.8 yards per pass against WVU, which is terrible given their secondary. Someone needs to make them pay for trotting Case McCoy out there week after week. Methinks that someone is coming up next week in the form of Okie Lite.
And now, time for the flavor of the week! Baylor finally passed their "big-game" test, and with flying colors, I might add. Texas and Okie Lite are still in the running, but OU has lost tiebreakers to both UT and Baylor, and with Okie Lite still on the schedule that is not a good place to be. I also found out last week that K-State can no longer tie for the conference title (even before last weekend's games), but I've decided to leave them on for those hoping for major NCAA infractions or a meteor or some other scenario that ends up with purple on top. Time to buckle up for the home stretch!
