My Children
I just have to do it, I gotta say it – I LOVE MY KIDS.
Where would I be if my daughters were not in my life?
What would I be doing?
Most importantly, who in the world would I be? It's crazy that the yearning I felt to have children prior to being a mom could never hold a candle to the reality of having them. It's amazing in an inexplainable way having another human being compliment my soul. Today I have stopped to look my daughters right in their eyes and just see them. I have just watched them play, played with them, and loved on them literally ALL DAY long. It is so scary to think about where I may be had I never had my children. Did I really ever know anything before I kids? How can anyone really know what living is all about that hasn't created an extension of their life and had everything worth anything in life reflected there? I just had to say that the most challenging thing in my life has also been the most rewarding. I just love my kids, that's all.
My failsafe sinus/cold remedy
fail-safe [feyl-seyf] Pronunciation Key – Show IPA Pronunciation adjective, noun, verb, -safed, -saf·ing. –adjective
1. guaranteed to work; totally reliable
2.something designed to work or function automatically to prevent breakdown of a mechanism, system, or the like.
For those of you who HATE HATE HATE sinus pain/congestion, that tickle or itch in your throat and that general rundown feeling – here's what I do when it hits. Of course you are welcome to pick and choose your course of action and you don't have to do all of these but I HIGHLY recommend that you up your Vitamin C intake (with Emergen-C now sold at Wal-Mart and every drug store), do the Peroxide regimen and swallow the cut up cloves of garlic if you can. These three things are my fall back and if I do nothing else I do these three things and I swear by them!!
Get thee some Peroxide! Most people already have this in their homes. Put a few drops into your ear and let it bubble until it stops. Do not dilute the Peroxide. It will itch a little but it does not hurt one bit. Make sure you do this in both ears morning and night for up to 3 days after symptoms go away. I also do this as a preventative if we've been somewhere super germy during flu and cold season. Even my 2yr old lets me do this for her.
You can also gargle with diluted Peroxide. It doesn't taste great but you can drink something afterward. Use about an ounce of Peroxide in 3oz of water and gargle for as long as you can until it's all gone – it'll take that itch right out of your throat and kill whatever is growing there.
Swallow a good 6 cloves of garlic. Cut them up if you need to. I would take 6 at the onset of symptoms and another 6 cloves 12 hours later.
Drink some Emergen-C at the onset of symptoms and again every 6-12hrs up to 3x a day.
Use the Neti pot ASAP. I like to use mine 2x a day (morning & night). Remember to use it on both sides Mine comes with a salt solution and a Zinc solution that are important in cleaning things up in there.
Colloidal Silver is a must. It has to touch what it heals so you guessed it – right on up the nose. Make sure you put some up each side at the onset of symptoms and at least 3x a day.
A great homeopathic for Sinusitis that I have seen results with is Mezereum 6c. You can also try Sinusalia®.
If your throat is scratchy/sore, get some Wild Cherry Bark or some Eldertussin Syrup. They are both VERY soothing.
It's always good to attack it from all angles so get yourself a good ear oil, too. I use Wally's Ear Oil and it works great.
All you should be drinking is water (and of course the occasional Emergen-C). Try to get as much rest as possible. I have found that plugging the tub and turning on a steaming hot shower with a few drops of Eucalyptus oil or a mix of Tea Tree and Peppermint oils will help with your breathing as well. Try the TTO and Peppermint oil in a lamp ring diffuser, it's awesome.
I hope this helps you Mamas as much as it has helped me. I SWEAR by this!! I went to bed (and it wasn't the first time) feeling just terrible. The pressure in my head was insane, I was dizzy from the sinus pressure. But after my treatment that day I woke up feeling a LOT better and I know that continuing my treatment again today I will be just fine This is coming from someone who usually must get prescription meds to clear up my sinus infections.
It's that time of year Mamas…stock up on your Emergen-C, fresh garlic, Colloidal Silver, EOs, homeopathics and get yourself a Neti Pot!!
Just a note: If buying homeopathics/herbs and other stuff is too pricey for your budget, contact Frontier for information on setting up a co-op where you can purchase all of these things at wholesale pricing (and you don't have to buy products in bulk).
and feel better soon!

Rebound From A College Rejection!
Getting rejected from your number-one college is tough. But take it from these readers (who all didn't get accepted to their first choices): when your dream school doesn't work out, plan B can be so much better!
By Macey Hall
Consider Transferring
"I was really set on going to my dream school, but unfortunately got a letter saying I was rejected. I was crushed and knew I would do anything to still go there, even if it meant going somewhere else for a year. When I finally picked another school, I tried to make the best of my situation. I worked really hard academically, got involved in a lot of activities, and even pledged for a sorority. However, I knew I wanted more. I worked harder academically than I ever have, and finally, after a year, I was accepted into my dream school as a transfer student!
In the end, I was happy I didn't get in the first time, because it pushed me to work harder than I ever imagined I could. I got the chance to grow as a student, and more importantly, as a person." —Juhi, 21, NY

How can it be so hot in April already? My black coat gets heated up in notime and I can only play with one, maybe two dogs before I have to break for a drink and rest in the shade.

I had to leverage myself up while in school. Now I've got a strong career and it's time to pay off those revolving debts.
Student loans don't count; I need to hang onto them because the rates are lower than the comparable returns I could get on the money. What counts is anything above 6%. I want that stuff gone in three years, by my 30th birthday.

Accelerated Nursing Program - Low GPA - page 2
Hello! I'm going to be applying to accelerated nursing programs (in NY) this fall, but I'm worried I won't be able to find a program that accepts me. Most of them require a 3.0 cumulative GPA and mine is only a 2.86. However, I... Read More
- 0Jan 12, '13 by nycnursetobe2014My undergrad GPA wasn't outstanding- I had a 2.9 when I graduated. However my GPA improved drastically through the second half of my time in college- once I got it together lol. On many of the applications I filled out it asked me if I had ever been on any type of probation in school. I was on academic probation following my first semester (which in retrospect did me a lot of good). But anyway I was given the opportunity to explain myself and used that to explain why my life circumstances at that time led to a low GPA. I also had a 3.7 in my prereqs and have a masters degree. I was accepted to both NYU and Utica College this semester. It can't hurt to try- just try to beef up your application with internships, volunteer experience, etc.
- 0Jan 13, '13 by CeceStar5Hey Jeneefir, I am in a nursing program right now and I am going to be an RN in December. The school that I am in gave me hope in pursuing a nurse career. I was accepted to a school that will allow you to get an LPN in one year and an RN degree in a second year. At first I was reluctant to go because I have a bachelors degree and an accelerated program seemed practical but Im very glad I did because I am an LPN and will be a RN by the end of the year. There is hope dont give up! You might just have to start from LPN program as I did, where the prereqs (A&P, Micro,etc) will be transfered into the school..
Any questions.. feeel free to contact me
- 1Jan 22, '13 by wanttoknowHi CeceStar5Congrads... I was searching accelerated nursing program because I have a bachelors, my gpa is 2.99. Schools r adamant about about a 3.0 gpa. I was thinking about the lpn then the rn route. Most of the pre req I have because I have my ba in biology.. Thank you in advance but I was wondering is that school in ny or the northeast region if so can I please have the info..

Hey, don't worry about other people disagreeing with your opinions. If we all had the same opinions, the world would be a boring place... on the other hand, some people feel personally attacked if you dislike or have had a bad experience with "their" thing. It's just human nature... they ascribe to malice that which is a mere statement of opinion and experience. —Evan 'JabberWokky' Edwards

Social-Personality Division
Program Description
The graduate program in Social-Personality Psychology at the University of Illinois is one of the oldest and most respected in the country. More research conducted at University of Illinois labs has appeared in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology than from any other university in the world (Quinones-Vidal et al., 2004, p. 436). The program provides intensive training in research methods, statistical analysis, and a wide array of theoretical perspectives sharing the theme of the cognitive and emotional basis of social interaction.
Social psychology emphasizes the power of the social situation as a determinant of individual behavior, thinking, and emotion. Personality psychology emphasizes characteristics of the individual that are stable over time but which also determine the individual's behavior, thinking, and emotion. The social-personality program provides particular emphasis on attitudes, culture, emotion, attachment, close relationships, personality development and assessment, genetic and environmental etiology of individual differences, social cognition, social status and power, religion, and subjective well-being.
Students may specialize in social psychology, personality psychology, or both. Students also may take advantage of related courses offered in Industrial-Organizational psychology. The program is designed to train students to become contributing scientists in academic or applied settings and to become teachers at the graduate and undergraduate levels. Over the course of the program, students and advisor work together to design a program of study fitted to the student's particular needs and interests. The program places a heavy emphasis on original research from the beginning of graduate studies, and all students complete a first-year research project which they then present in the division seminar.
Facilities and Resources
Students have access to state-of-the-art research facilities. Laboratories are run by individual faculty members, and include small cubicles for individual computer testing, small conference rooms for group interaction, and large rooms for mass questionnaire testing.
Affiliated Departments, Programs, and Institutes
The social-personality program is closely aligned with the program in Industrial-Organizational psychology. In addition, faculty with training in social and personality psychology are to be found in other departments across the university, specializing in advertising, communications, marketing, and organizational behavior.

Budget Cut Warnings May Prove Harsher Than Reality
By ALAN FRAM
WASHINGTON (AP) â¿¿ Get ready for two weeks of intensifying warnings about how crucial, popular government services are about to wither. Many of the threats could come true.
President Barack Obama and congressional Republicans made no progress this past week in heading off $85 billion in budget-wide cuts that automatically start taking effect March 1.
Lacking a bipartisan deal to avoid them and hoping to heap blame and pressure on GOP lawmakers, the administration is offering vivid details about the cuts' consequences: trimmed defense contracts, less secure U.S. embassies, furloughed air traffic controllers.Past administrations have seldom hesitated to spotlight how budget standoffs would wilt programs the public values. When a budget fight between President Bill Clinton and congressional Republicans led to two government shutdowns, in 1995 and 1996, some threats came true, like padlocked national parks. Others did not. Clinton warned that Medicare recipients might lose medical treatment, feeding programs for the low-income elderly could end and treatment at veterans' hospitals could be curtailed. All continued, thanks to contractors working for IOUs, local governments and charities stepping in and the budget impasse ending before serious damage occurred. This time, at stake is not a federal shutdown but a range of automatic cuts. Between March 1 and Sept. 30, the remainder of the government's budget year, it would mean reductions of 13 percent for defense programs and 9 percent for other programs, according to the White House budget office. The cuts, plus nearly $1 trillion more over the coming decade, were concocted two years ago. Administration and congressional bargainers purposely made them so painful that everyone would be forced to reach a grand deficit-cutting compromise to avoid them. Hasn't happened. A look at the cuts and the chilling impact the administration says they would have, based on letters and testimony to Congress:

Photo Credit: Courtesy of Saturday Night Live
The Kardashian family is the very definition of overexposed, but there's one place we haven't seen them in quite some time: Saturday Night Live. Finally, on this week's episode (hosted by Lady Gaga), we got the Kim Kardashian/Kanye West sketch we'd been waiting for. And it was amazing.
"Waking Up With Kimye" imagines that West and Kardashian have their own morning chat show (a favorite SNL device -- remember "Coffee Talk?"). Just like in the real-life media, Kanye (Jay Pharaoh) does a lot of talking, but Kim (Nasim Pedrad) gets all the attention. There's a great Gaga cameo, too. Watch it below!
If Kanye was upset about that Jimmy Kimmel sketch (he was), we can only imagine how he'll react to this one. Will he boycott SNL for life? Will he start a Twitter feud with Lady Gaga? We all know that Kanye's least favorite thing is to be laughed at.
And yet, there is so much that's so funny about him! His constant insistence that he's a genius, even if it's true, is comedy gold. Now that he's declared Kim a genius, too, how could SNL resist skewering them? The highlight of the sketch is probably the moment that Kim shows off her homemade macaroni necklace, followed by Kanye bellowing, "Y'all hear that? She just changed the game! Food is jewelry now!"
"Waking Up with Kimye" may be a new (and hopefully recurring!) sketch, but SNL has been spoofing the Kardashians for years. Here are a few of our favorites:
The Kardashian Divorce Special aired before Kim's marriage to Kris Humphries, and then basically came true a few months later. Kristen Wiig's pathological Kris Jenner is the highlight of this one.
When Dana Carvey hosted in 2011, the Kardashian sisters got a chance to meet the Church Lady. Why did Kim pose nude in W magazine? Could it be... Satan?
In 2009, the Kardashian sisters (played by Pedrad, Vanessa Bayer and Abby Elliott) took a moment to wish us all a happy holiday.
Kim visited "Weekend Update" in 2009 to talk about her sister Khloe's wedding. "Khloe's dress was so stunning," she told Seth Meyers. "When I watched her walk down the aisle, I looked so beautiful."
Kanye has already expressed his displeasure with SNL's Kardashian spoofs. Back in May, when he appeared as musical guest, the rapper threatened not to show up if SNL dared to make fun of Kim. If only he could take a cue from Lady Gaga: she made fun of herself in every sketch on Saturday, and it didn't take away from the power of her musical performances one bit.

When your child is hospitalized, you want to understand exactly what's happening and know that your child is in good hands. If your child needs to stay in the hospital, Nemours' board-certified pediatric hospitalists and inpatient hospital care nurses are here to manage your child's inpatient hospital care from admission through discharge.
Different from primary care physicians or pediatric specialists who have private practices and admitting privileges at various hospitals, pediatric hospitalists are completely devoted to caring for hospitalized infants, children and teens 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Pediatric hospitalists coordinate your child's care and share information, treatment plans and results using the latest in electronic health record technology. Working closely with you and your child's specialists, our inpatient hospital care teams are here to help your child get back home as soon as possible.
Nemours Pediatric Hospitalists
During your child's hospital stay, a Nemours pediatric hospitalist may serve as your child's "attending physician" overseeing your child's care, while also providing careful coordination of services and communication with your referring or primary care physician, as well as any other specialists your child may need.
Nemours' pediatric hospitalists and hospital care nurses treat hospitalized children with medical problems associated with chronic (ongoing) conditions and illnesses such as:
- asthma
- croup
- gastroenteritis (a virus that's also called the "stomach flu")
- dehydration
- infections (cellulitis, pneumonia or kidney infections)
- unexplained abdominal pain
- persistent headaches
Here When and Where You Need Us
Our pediatric hospitalists are on staff at the Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children in Wilmington, Del., and Nemours Children's Hospital in Orlando. And, thanks to partnerships with hospitals in major cities in Florida, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, you can get the same Nemours specialty pediatric hospital care closer to home.

In cooperation with your child's primary physician, the pediatric hospitalists at Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children are here to coordinate your child's ongoing inpatient hospital care and communication with specialists, nurses, social workers, and other health care providers your child may see during a hospital stay.
Available around-the-clock, we may serve as the attending physician (overseeing your child's care) or work in partnership with your attending physician/pediatric specialist. Our job is to:
- evaluate and treat pediatric emergencies
- provide newborn examinations
- care for our littlest patients in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)
- keep your primary care physician informed during and after your stay
- consult with Nemours pediatric specialists in more than 30 medical specialties
- help you identify a primary care physician if you don't have one
- schedule appropriate follow-up care when required
- coordinate outpatient care with specialists, if needed
Nemours' pediatric hospitalists also provide expert care after surgery for children with complex medical conditions and can help with sedation for procedures that don't require the operating room.
Whatever brings your child to us for an overnight stay (or many), know that we do whatever it takes to give you and your child top-quality, coordinated inpatient hospital care from the time you check in until you're ready to head back home.

Boat Registration and Titling
Florida requires almost all boats to be titles and registered. Like vehicles on dry land, the records are maintained by the State Department of Motor Vehicles and the paperwork is processed at your local County Tax Collector's Office. The rules for registering and titling a vessel are not particularly complicated and are explained on this page along with the forms and fees.
- Initial Registration and Titling
- Exemptions from Registration
- Exemptions from Titling
- Numbering
- Decals
- Re-registration Period
- Classification of Vessels
- Change of Classification
- Fees to Register Vessel
- Commercial Fees
- Hull Identification Numbers
- Duplicate Certificates
- In Case of Accident
Initial Registration and Titling
Applications for vessel registration and title certificates are to be filed by the vessel owner with the county tax collector's office in the county where the vessel is located or in the county where the vessel owner resides.
Unless a vessel is exempt from titling, it must be titled at the same time it is registered. Both of these actions can be accomplished for vessels being initially registered/titled by completing Form HSMV 82040 (available from your local tax collector).
Along with the completed form, a Manufacturer's Statement of Origin, or its equivalent, must be submitted along with a registration fee based on the fee schedule. A $5.25 titling fee should also be provided with an additional fee of $1 to record each existing lien. There is an additional titling fee of $4 required for each initial certificate of title issued for a vessel previously registered outside of this state.
If the sales tax on the total purchase price of the vessel has not been previously paid, the vessel owner must pay the tax along with the fees listed above. If the sales tax has already been paid, then the vessel owner should furnish the county tax collector with a valid receipt indicating where the sales tax was paid and that it was paid in an amount equal to or greater than the applicable sales tax.
The registration certificate must be on board the vessel when in operation. The purchaser of a new or used vessel has 30 days to apply for registration and title. During this 30-day grace period, the owner is required to have aboard his vessel proof of date of purchase. Operation of an unregistered vessel after 30 days is a second-degree misdemeanor.

Re: Next Time, Duceppe Should Stay Home, editorial, April 14.
Let me see whether I've got this right: First, we invite the Bloc Québécois to join us in Parliament, but then we keep complaining because they refuse to "play house."
No amount of exasperated editorializing will change Canada's perennial political quagmire of Quebec holding the rest of Canada for ransom. As long as Canada, in a posture of political masochism, stands alone among
Western democracies and legitimizes a regional separatist party by affording it official representation in its national parliament, we should not be surprised the "next time" Gilles Duceppe will yet again make the most of it in both English- and French-language debates.
E.W. Bopp, Tsawwassen, B.C.
Canadians have a clear and crucial choice in election 2011. Either one votes Conservative, or one endorses the absolute nightmare of deputy prime minister Gilles Duceppe.
Iain G. Foulds, Spruce Grove, Alta.
Communist party platform sounds very familiar
Re: A Communist Party Manifesto for Canada, Miguel Figueroa, April 14.
Thank you for publishing Communist Party of Canada leader Miguel Figueroa's election platform. It is refreshing to see an honest politician proudly promote policies — such as expanded social programs, corporate tax increases, and cancelled military investments — as communist. At least we now know where Michael Ignatieff and Jack Layton are coming from.
Neil Flagg, Toronto.
After reading the position of Communist party leader Miguel Figueroa I fail to see the difference between his party and the NDP — or even js party and the Liberals.
Stephen King, Burlington, Ont.
Note to Miguel Figueroa: Communism failed.

Alberta respects its oil patch
Re: Undermining The Oil Patch, editoiral, April 8.
Perhaps the National Post's editorial board should start consult other business sections other than its own before formulating the day's editorial. On the same day last week that the paper opined that the conservation proposals contained in the draft Lower Athabasca Regional Plan would "drive away investment," two investment banks based in Alberta's energy capital were quoted that they did not expect the plan would substantially affect current producers.
A day earlier, the Royal Bank of Canada concluded the draft regional plan would have no material impact on the majority of companies or industry in the region. Obviously, the Post was unable to acquire this information — either that or the objective assessment of independent financial analysts didn't fit the paper's previously constructed narrative.
The editorial also suggests that in some way industry was blindsided by this plan. Nothing could be further from the truth. The province has held three years of consultation. Now, we are consulting again on this draft plan to make sure it meets the needs and interests of all Albertans. There will be impacts to some tenure holders, but all along we consulted with many companies and we will negotiate fair compensation for our industry partners.
The draft plan is part of our commitment to conserve land and protect the environment and meet the community needs of Albertans. It is a new approach to manage the impact of our activities on the landscape — a blueprint, I believe, for economic growth, vibrant communities and a healthy environment.
Mel Knight, Minister, Alberta Sustainable Resource Development, Edmonton.
Helmets: To wear or not to wear, that is the question
Re: Silence From The Safety Brigade, Chris Selley, April 8: Has 'Helmetmania' Gone Too Far In Leisure Activities, letter to the editor, April 12.
I have cycled and raced throughout North America and Europe for many thousands of miles without a helmet. I was lucky … and a bit naive. It wasn't "cool" in those days to wear helmets. Now I ride protected, after standing at the bedside of my injured son, and then a deceased team-mate, both from head injuries after falling from bikes. Skilled riders both, they found themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time.
In a civilized society such as ours, some effort by the individual is required to help, not hinder the overall good. And please, spare me the "it's my right" argument. Be part of the solution, not the problem.
George Streadwick, Vancovuer.
I'm been an avid skier for 50 years. Even though I must have suffered hundreds of falls, I do not recall a single time I've suffered a head injury. I also served a one-year stint on the Vancouver First Aid Ski Patrol. The only head injury I witnessed was not suffered by a skier, but by a lift operator who looked the wrong way and got hit in the head by the lift chair.
I'm not saying head injuries don't happen, they do, but the mandatory helmet debate is really a question of resource allocation. The $150 you pay for the good helmet would provide a way better bang for the buck if invested in maintaining your equipment properly (having your edges always sharpened professionally, for example), or in taking a lesson or two from a certified ski/snowboard pro.
Zbigniew Filek, Prince George, B.C.
The debate around the question of helmet use remind me of the discussion or whether we should charging extra for health-care access for people who could be seen as contributing to their own poor health: overweight people, smokers, etc. However, it is frequently the people who are engaging in so-called healthy activities that cost our health-care system: joggers with foot or knee injuries; skiers with various broken bones or head injuries; gym users with strained or torn ligaments.
Are these "healthy people" any less guilty of contributing to their situation? I would love to see a comparative analysis of the impact on health-care costs.
John Muir, Burlington, Ont.
May Whitesnake rock for many more years
Re: Rock Of Aged; Can Whitesnake Push The Embattled Genre Forward?, Dave Bidini, April 11.
This is a good news story and Dave Bidini correctly identified Whitesnake as a proper rock band with a bluesy background — not merely a 1980s North American hair band. Whitesnake always valued skilled musicians and although it employed famous names such as Ian Paice and Jon Lord (Deep Purple), Cozy Powell, Adrian Vandenberg and Steve Vai to complement to the astonishing vocals of David Coverdale, it also used the lesser known but gifted talents of Micky Moody, Bernie Marsden and Neil Murray, amongst many others.
To many, Whitesnake's were their early releases that had blues undertones, corralled with melodic rock. Rock music survives because real musicians play real music and it was gratifying to note that in the U.K., the new release of Whitesnake outsold that of Britney Spears by 35% in pre-orders.
May Whitesnake continue to rock for many more years.
Michael N.W. Baigel, Toronto.
Kids these days
Re: It's All About U, Ken Coates and Bill Morrison, April 11.
One has to go back to the 1930s to understand the realistic history of university scholars, a time of more sophisticated and correct humour, For example:
Son "Dad; what is college bred?"
Father "Well son, to be exact, it's a four-year loaf."
Students have not really changed in the 2010s, other than they are perhaps a bit more noisy and narcissistic with a prolonged cultivated adolescence. Nevertheless many still are becoming most worthy citizens — plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.
G.H. Nickerson, Cobourg, Ont.
'Fresh food is not 'fresh off the truck'
The major political parties in Canada have begun to posture around the thorny issues of food security, food safety, food as a health factor and the link between environmental issues and agriculture. Finally.
Simultaneously, the Canadian Produce Marketing Association (CPMA) is meeting in Montreal this week, bringing together companies that are active in the marketing and sale of "fresh" food. It is no small irony that the marketing of "fresh" food and the political food issues are tightly coupled. To Canada's political parties, and to the CPMA, please tell us: What does "fresh" mean?
We ask this because consumers are being told that food that travels hundreds or even thousands of kilometres to get to our dinner plates is "fresh" and as wholesome and nutritious as food harvested yesterday. That just isn't so.
We want to challenge government, industry and farmers alike to make the word "fresh" true to its actual meaning. Fresh does not mean "fresh off the truck." It means fresh from the plant. As a nation, if we can learn to once again produce fresh food, we will find that our food security, food safety, our environment and our collective health will all benefit.
Mohamed Hage, Lufa Farms, Montreal.
Human rights don't grow on trees
Re: Human Rights for Trees, April 12.
This cannot be a serious proposal. It is estimated there are at least 126 million people in the world today who are slaves, at least 33 million have been affected by HIV/AIDS and in Uganda alone 6,000 women out of 100,000 die from pregnancy related causes — and the UN is going to spend time discussing the "rights" of the birds and the bees in these countries? We need to get our priorities straight.
Amanda Van Halteren, Richmond Hill, Ont.
… or did we miss the real point?
I was disappointed by the wording of your front-page headline, "Human Rights for Trees," which was clearly intended to garner ridicule toward the UN for daring to table Bolivia's proposal. The National Post is not known to be sympathetic to the environmentalist cause, but you should at least allow your readers the opportunity to seriously review the issues and context. Instead, you painted Bolivian President Evo Morales as a flake whose principles have deprived his nation of their potential resource wealth. Humans need to recognize their responsibilities toward our shared environment.
John Ballantyne, Aurora, Ont.
Mideast reality
Re: Palestinians Ready To Govern, April 13.
The surreal UN initiatives never cease to amaze. Their report on "Palestinian State-building" is a prime example of twisted logic where what is merely necessary — the rule of law, economic performance, etc. — is deemed "sufficient for a functioning government of a state" and where the final outcome predicated on negotiations — the creation of a Palestinian state — is presented as the basis to dictate to the sovereign State of Israel the measures required for its implementation.
"We urgently need … Israel [to] roll back measures of occupation to match the [Palestinians'] achievements."
Worse still, the UN seems to flout international law. Palestinian statehood requires self-determination in a territory on which their sovereignty is recognized. Palestinian sovereignty on the so-called "West Bank" was never recognized in the Oslo Accords and for good reason: Israel has an unassailable title to this land under international law, as it was established in San Remo on April 25, 1920; codified in the Mandate for Palestine in July, 1922; accepted unanimously by the League of Nations; and recognized by the United States in 1924 in a binding treaty.

Being Catholic
Re: Is Being 'Right' Also Being 'Catholic'?, letter to the editor, April 14.
Letter-writer Paul Holmes comments: "In order for [Michael] Coren to be right, every other religion has to be wrong." That statement shows he does not get what the Catholic Church does.
Any religion which believes in a God has some truth. Even atheists, who treat their neighbours with respect and don't lie, cheat and steal, have some truth. The search is for a place of complete truth. Not all Catholics have arrived there, though a large number in all religions have this aspiration.
David A. Hogg, Toronto.
Don't worry: It's still our game and playoffs
Re: Playoff Dreams Gone South, Joe O'Connor, April 13.
According to Joe O'Connor the sky is falling on Canadian hockey. However, what's most interesting about this column is what he fails to mention. Such as:
— Based on the 30 players each team can list for the playoffs, the percentage of Canadians on playoff teams Washington, Philadelphia, Boston, Tampa Bay, Vancouver, San Jose and Chicago ranges between 60% and 67%.
— Of the top 30 scorers in the NHL regular season, 18 were Canucks. That does not include Sidney Crosby who was out for half the season.
— Of the top 12 rookies scorers in the NHL, nine were born in Canada.
— According to the TSN draft projections, of the top 10 players in the upcoming draft, eight are Canadian, two are Swedes.
It makes you wonder how dominant we would be if Wayne Gretzky had stayed in Edmonton. Say it ain't so Joe, say it ain't so.
