Is Sensa safe?
- Q: Is Sensa safe?
- A: Sensa was tested on 1,436 patients with an average initial weight of 208 pounds, over a six month period, and the diet crystals, when smelled, and chewed were able to trick the brain into feeling full, and reduce weight by an average of 30.5 pounds. The product is on the U.S. FDA (Food and Drug Administration) list of GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) list, but there are not as many regulations on OTC (over the counter) products, such as supplements, as there are on prescription medications. The manufacturer is not required to produce the same level of testing for safety, purity, and effectiveness. A permanent lifestyle change will be more effective in losing weight than, a temporary change. A nutritionist or weight trainer can help if your programs are not working the way you would like them to. They can look at your history and see how you are eating and exercising and make recommendations. Sometimes, it helps to join a dieting group or workout class, for the support and ideas. Our weight website can help you figure out your calories and give tips. You can also visit our healthy recipes site or our fitness site to help. If you try taking OTC medications to lose weight, you are usually going to be taking appetite suppressants or "water" pills, which just reduce water weight, instead of burning off the fat. There are no vitamins or supplements proven to increase metabolism or promote weight loss. In general, vitamins play an important role in the body's health and function and are necessary to regulate metabolism, that is, to provide appropriate amounts of carbohydrates, fats, and amino acids to the body. The best way to get enough vitamins is to eat a balanced diet with a variety of foods. Patti Brown, PharmD

To fight off the melancholy over my girl's return to California on Sunday, I took my kids and my scrawny bad-haircut-having dog for a long walk along the raging Potomac. Afterward, intending to get some good frozen yogurt, I pulled into a local parking structure. I fished in my backpack for my wallet and realized it was gone. I had to beg my way out of the garage, all I had was the change in the car. I was seriously mourning the loss of my driver's license, the replacement of which would revisit a trauma.
Let me tell you a little story, Readers. When I lived in the rural Midwest, if you lost your license, you would go to the D.O.T. office in the basement of the county courthouse. Marilyn would be there and probably no one else. She would chide you for not keeping track of your things. She would ask after your kids and you would ask after her mother. She would glance at your social security card (regulations) and then take your picture and probably tease you about the goofy expression you were making. She would hand you the new card and not let go until she had finished speaking, "Now you keep track of this one, you hear? I don't want to see you back in here for at least a year." You would know she was looking forward to the next time you mislaid your license and you would know that she and her husband would laugh about your absentmindedness over their supper that evening. If the day's news had been good, you would leave with a smile that might last the rest of the day.
When I fled to Northern Virginia, I was advised to immediately transfer everything, license, car registration, the whole shebang. A field trip to the Virginia DOT, kids! Take a number and wait. And wait. And wait. Finally, our number was called, but only after my then seven-year-old son had dissected and exploded a pen, spreading ink all over the plastic seats in an attempt to clean it up while I was filling out forms. (Marilyn would have scolded, but these big city DOT employees didn't especially seem to care. They handed me a box of tissues.) After the hour's wait, it turned out that my documents were not in order. I could have a license, but not a registration for my van. That would require some legwork.
Two weeks later, I was back at the DOT, taking a number, and waiting. This time, it was nearly an hour and a half and my then two-year-old had a balloon which he managed to pop, causing everyone in the large room, including me, to simultaneously startle. The boys were having a difficult time waiting and were poking at one another. I hadn't been able to arrange to come alone. Finally it was my turn. I walked up to the window and explained my business. The clerk looked over my documents and then looked over her glasses at me and told me I needed one more document, one I would have to get from Ex. I can specifically point to the handful of real meltdowns of my contentious divorce and this was one. I started to cry and began to blubber. I told her about the messy divorce, my angry ex-husband, the custody fight, and the necessity to have everything registered in Virginia as soon as possible. Tee-Em-Eye. I told her that I had waited twice and my son made that ink mark on that chair over there the last time we were here because it is hard for two little boys to wait. "Isn't there anything you can do?" I begged desperately.
She shook her head sadly. However, I was no longer a number waiting in line but a pitiable wretch who needed help. "Let me get my supervisor."
A short man in a neat sweater vest approached and began, "I'm sorry…." I had stopped weeping, but launched into the same story, talking quickly while the boys tugged at me. He also shook his head, but spoke soothingly. "I think I can help you," he said. He gave me my license plate on the promise to produce the missing document once all was settled. I thanked him repeatedly as he shooed me from the window, anxious for me to leave before I started talking or crying again.
I was dreading walking through those glass doors and taking a number in order to replace my lost license. Fortunately, an email from a stranger arrived on Sunday evening, subject line: Found your wallet. As I suspected, I had dropped it in the parking lot at the park. Yesterday, I met the charming young man who contacted me to return it. Turns out my failure to clean the thing out on any regular basis worked to my benefit. There were cards in there with the blog URL and my email address. The good fellow who bolstered my faith in humanity reports his girlfriend took a peek at the blog, too. (Hello to both, and again—thank you! …and Girl, that Erik, he's a keeper!)
Faith in humanity has come to me through the kindnesses of strangers like Erik (and those nice people at the Virginia DOT). Kindness saved my behind again as it has so often before.

The Irish Rovers, who first formed in 1964 in Calgary, are Jimmy Ferguson, Will Millar, George Millar, Wilcil McDowell, and Joe Millar. Canada's most enduring pub band, the Rovers were catapulted to fame with their hit single, Shel Silverstein's "The Unicorn," in 1968. They also had solid commercial success with "The Biplane Evermore," "Lily the Pink," and "Wasn't That a Party." From 1971-74 they hosted a weekly variety show on CBC TV. Fans from the 60's and 70's will find plenty of CD's to choose from--the Rovers were nothing if not prolific--but their commercially cute sound has not aged particularly well. The Rovers lack the substance and resonance of contemporary Canadian Celtic groups.

Last 2 years have shown wisdom of staying in stocks
BY TERRY SAVAGE SUN-TIMES COLUMNIST Jul 14, 2006
Updated: May 3, 2013 12:14PM
Originally published: September 11, 2003
For me, it's impossible to let this second anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks go by without at least some reflection and assessment of what happened then, and where we stand now -- at least in terms of our financial markets.
On Sept. 11, 2001, our free-enterprise system came under attack and our financial markets closed for several days. The Dow had closed Sept. 10 at 9,605. When the markets reopened six days later on Sept. 17, the Dow dropped to 8,755 before closing at 8,920. But the real market lows for this bear market were actually made less than a year ago, on Oct. 7, 2002, when the DJIA fell to 7,368.
And here we are, back at 9,420 as of last night.
So what does this market action tell us? It tells us that we did survive and prosper, as I suggested in the column I wrote that day. It tells us that mass fear is often a buying opportunity, just as mass greed is a signal to sell. And, more humbling, it reminds us that no one can ever call tops and bottoms, but that a program of long-term investing is a way to grow rich slowly.
And since I believe that, I announced that I would buy 100 shares of General Electric, America's largest company, when the market reopened after the post-Sept. 11 hiatus. That first 100 shares cost me $36.35 each -- a seeming bargain for a stock that had traded in the mid-forties the week before. But the stock fell even further in the coming year. And last Sept. 11, I purchased another 100 shares at $30.15. What to do now? Today I have given a market order to purchase another 100 shares of GE, which closed last night at $31.03.
Now, there's nothing special about this one stock--just a symbolic tradition I've created, as I said then, both as a gesture of defiance and a sound investment strategy. And looking back, especially on the big move this year, aren't you glad you kept investing in your stock funds on a regular basis in your 401(k) plan -- even when times were most fearful?
Letters from readers
My recent column about banks' ATM fees certainly drew some attention. Obviously, many of you share my feelings about being tied to one big bank because of its omnipresent ATMs. Others voiced different complaints:
"Here's another thing big banks are starting to do which irritates me no end. ...Bank One no longer accepts deposits to their ATMs from non-Bank One customers. Somehow it seems to me that if an institution joins Cash Station network, they ought to be required to offer the same services across the board."
Several notes were quite helpful:
"My bank just started offering totally free ATM withdrawals at any ATM and a surcharge rebate. They credit my account $2 for every surcharge up to $10. ...It is Citizens Financial Services."
Robert Yohanan, CEO of First Bank and Trust, writes: "May I suggest you and your readers bank at any of the 101 financial institutions in our area that are members of the Starsf network. (The "sf" stands for "surcharge free.") Most of the independent banks in our area are members. In fact there are over 1,025 surcharge-free ATMs nationwide, so you can access them when you travel. For a listing of Starsf members please check www.star.command.com and search for Starsf locations." Several others wrote with the same information, so check it out.
David Manning of the Community Bankers Association of Illinois wrote that Illinois' "antiquated banking laws," which I bemoaned, have resulted in "more competition and lower costs for consumers as a result of that fragmentation." In states that have fewer competitors, he said, fees are higher. Can you imagine the surcharges if just a few banks controlled all the ATMs?
I've always thought that actions speak louder than words. So I was particularly pleased when Washington Mutual announced it is expanding in Chicago in a big way, adding 70 offices, and its ATMs will also be surcharge free. Maybe the banks are getting the message!
In fact, choice is a key ingredient of our free-enterprise system. And if enough people exercise choice, the market responds. That's why our investment markets are so important. It's where investors, and their capital, choose the companies most likely to be profitable and give a good return on investment. That return is ultimately dependent on the free choice of both business and individual consumers to purchase products and services they like, thereby rewarding the companies that provide them.
That's what makes the free enterprise system the very best economic system ever developed -- and one we should treasure. And that's The Savage Truth.

Thanks Tony - that was a great recipe. They ended up tasting like smooth truffles. I used agave syrup instead of maple syrup. I can imagine these would be fun with other goodies added as well.
# Posted By shawna | 6/6/08 10:34 PM
Love this recipe! I made two half batches, one with agave syrup and the other with maple syrup.
I made the one with agave first with the full amount of cocoa powder (3 T) but it was a little too bitter. When I tried the maple syrup I reduced the cocoa powder just a bit and it turned out much better. They look so cute in little chocolate molds and taste great!

Would honey work instead of syrup?
# Posted By Tammy | 6/26/08 6:24 AM
I've never tried this recipe with honey, but I've made something else that's similar and the honey tends to settle to the bottom. You could try dissolving the honey with the oil over low heat, but I'm really not sure how that would turn out.
# Posted By Sarah | 6/26/08 1:50 PM
I've made this recipe before but it's been awhile. The 6 Tbsp of cocoa powder seems like a lot for that amount of syrup. I tried the maple syrup and put the chocolate in the ice trays, and the syrup went to the bottom. I'll try this again and use candy molds to see if it works better. Any suggestions on the amount of cocoa powder?
# Posted By Jennifer | 1/26/12 10:57 AM
This was delicious! It was a bit too sweet for my tastes, but I like my chocolate bars in the 85%- 99% range. Next time, I'll reduce the sugar and sprinkle pink salt crystals on it as it's chilling and maybe even add some cayenne! Great recipe!
# Posted By Susan | 2/20/12 11:19 AM
Just wondering why two kinds of Coconut oil? Couldn't you just use 1/2 cup of virgin expeller pressed?
# Posted By Suzy | 4/12/13 1:34 PM
Virgin and expeller pressed are two different kinds of coconut oil. Expeller pressed has almost no flavor while virgin, especially Tropical Tradition's Gold Label has a very strong, unique flavor. The two here are used to balance the flavors out, but you don't have to use two different kinds.
# Posted By Sarah:) | 4/12/13 1:41 PM
I was wondering if it would work with using only one kind of oil instead of two?

Governors Reject Health Care Exchanges, White House Changes the Rules Again
WASHINGTON, DC- Following news that the White House extended the February 15th deadline for states to adopt health care exchanges for a second time, this time indefinitely, FreedomWorks' Vice President of Health Care Policy Dean Clancy commented:
"The decision to postpone the Governors' exchange deadlines is a silent defeat for the White House. We knew we were winning the fight against government-run health care when 27 states -more than half- refused to adopt a federal exchange. Today's annoucement only confirms that Health and Human Services will not be able to meet the February 15th deadline. The wheels are coming off the bus, and the Administration is getting desperate. FreedomWorks is emboldened by this silent admission of defeat, and we plan to redouble our efforts to block the ObamaCare exchanges and to pressure Congress to reconsider this misguided, unconstitutional law."
» 4 Comments
Aw geeezz, c'mon folks these health care exchanges don't seem too bad…+4
2 Obama defeats in one week. ObamaCare Exchanges unworkable and no gun confiscation/serious restrictions. Wheels are coming off the bus indeed.+5
"Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain. I am the great and powerful Obamoz."
It sure would be nice if I could click my heels together three times and send the communist back to Russia (and I'd wake up in Reagan's Morning in America again).

This is exactly what the republicans need to do on the debt cieling likewise….call him out on his bullying bluff.
Just outright tell him, that if there are no cuts, then we don't raise the debt cieling and the automatic cuts start…which will ensure money is there instead of wasted on governemnt and government sponsored programs to pay the seniors monthly checks that he so proudly uses as his scare tactic.+4

Maersk Line plans to hike ocean freight rates on South American routes by up to 30 percent this year to stem losses, cover soaring fuel prices and pay for the 16 container ships it ordered for the trade.
Without higher freight rates, it will be difficult to recoup the $2.2 billion investment in the 7,500 20-foot equivalent unit vessels, said Robbert Jan van Trooijen, Maersk's chief executive for Latin America and the Caribbean.
"Depending on the cargo, we are planning to raise rates by up to 30 percent, but the actual rate increase will also depend on the level of the base rate we are coming from," van Trooijen said.
"For routes that already have higher rates, we can do with less," he told The Journal of Commerce.
"From Asia, we have already started the process early this year, but we need to continue until we have reached the right levels, especially in the trade between Asia and Brazil, where we've had less success so far than the trade from Asia to the west coast of South America."
"Our profit margins right now, when we have them, are in the single digits. We need to raise these into the double digits to cover our cost of capital," van Trooijen told Reuters. "We need to raise returns to recoup the investment on our ships."
Bunker fuel prices have tripled in the past five years while freight rates have fallen 10 percent, he said.
Average freight rates on Maersk's Latin American routes declined 8 percent year-over-year in the first quarter, the carrier revealed earlier in the week.
Maersk has taken delivery of 10 of the ships, the largest that can enter South American ports. The remaining six vessels are expected to be delivered from South Korean shipyards by the end of 2013.
Earlier this week, Maersk reduced a planned rate increase on the Far East-east coast South America trade to $500 per TEU from $600 per TEU. But implementation of the rate hike will be earlier, moving from July 1 to June 15.
The carrier will also charge $100 more to ship 20-foot, 40-foot and 45-foot containers from the U.S. Gulf and Mexico to the Brazilian ports of Santos and Sao Paulo, effective June 11.
Rates from Brazil to Central America and the Caribbean will increase $100 for a-20 foot container and $200 for 40-foot and 45-foot container, also from June 11.
Maersk's Latin American container traffic surged 23 percent in the first quarter from the same period in 2011 and accounted for 11 percent of the carrier's total volume of 4.4 million TEUs in the period.
Latin America is Maersk's third-largest market, trailing Asia-Europe at 37 percent and Africa, 15 percent.

London has been unlike any other Olympic host city. This is the first time in history where such a city has tried to use the Olympics to completely transform a deprived area.
The reason we won the bid back in 2005 was to inspire people through sports and physical activity, but more importantly, to drive the regeneration of our part of East London.
Unlike other host cities - Beijing, Barcelona and Atlanta - who succeeded in achieving different ambitions - whether it's putting on a good event, doubling tourism or becoming an international conference destination - we have been focused on legacy right from the start.
In Newham this has meant inspiring people, changing people's lives through jobs and opportunities, and overcoming the injustice of embedded poverty that we have put up with for more than 100 years.
The Olympics has been a catalyst for regeneration and inward investment and we have made the most of this opportunity. With our support, Newham residents have secured many more Olympic job offers than any other of the host boroughs.
We have capitalised on the attention the Games have drawn to this part of London by encouraging people to invest in and create jobs. But it's more than that. The Games are about inspiring our residents - especially young people. Children from every school in the borough are getting to go to the Olympics.
We promised Newham would be a part of the Games and we are delivering on it in style! More than 1,000 residents have been involved in the Opening Ceremony including 230 children from seven schools. Something I found incredible was that in the middle of organising the ceremony, director Danny Boyle took time out from his schedule to spend time with some of our children. It was an act of generosity that was much appreciated.
We have bought 500 Olympic and Paralympic tickets for residents, ranging from the highest demand Opening Ceremony tickets to day passes for the Olympic Park. They have been paid for using funds received for the use of Newham venues as Games time training venues, so there is no cost to the taxpayer.
We also secured an exclusive offer of 2,700 discounted Olympic Park day pass tickets for our residents as well as 14,000 free tickets for the events that tested the Games venues.
We expect crowds of Newham residents at our live sites in Stratford and East Ham which will be open throughout the Games. Through our Let's Get the Party Started campaign we are helping residents to put on their own Games celebrations. Thousands have and are staging street parties, talent shows, exhibitions and more. They are bringing people together and building relationships. We are having one hell of a Games party.
We have also used the Games to inspire people into sport. We have invested in improved local sporting facilities from multi-use games areas to parks, and increased provision of free and low-cost sports and activity opportunities including free swims, neighbourhood sports and summer holiday schemes.
But we are also keeping Newham going throughout the Games. We have teams working round the clock to keep the borough clean and moving. It's a massive task but we are determined visitors go home impressed and our residents are not inconvenienced.
I hope the millions of visitors who have come for the Games have a wonderful time and I extend a warm welcome to everyone. The biggest show on earth has at last arrived in Newham. It's an incredibly exciting time.

Current Time
Editors' Pick
Arnold's, Eastham, Massachusetts
Eastham , Massachusetts
Tel: 508 255 2575
Concierge.com's insider take:
Arnold's is by far the best of Cape Cod's many clam shacks. Named, regrettably, for the Happy Days diner, it turns out lightly battered shellfish (including whole-belly clams) and truly amazing homemade onion rings piled so high that they're hard to balance on the walk from the counter to your picnic table. The long lines move quickly; credit cards are not accepted.
Restaurant open daily 11:30 am to 9:30 pm, mid-May through Columbus Day; ice cream stand open daily 11:30 am to 10 pm mid-June through mid-September.

Do you accept the gift? The Practice: Receive generosity. Why?
Life gives to each one of us in so many ways.
For starters, there's the bounty of the senses – including chocolate chip cookies, jasmine, sunsets, wind singing through pine trees, and just getting your back scratched.
What does life give you?
Consider the kindness of friends and family, made more tangible during a holiday season, but of course continuing throughout the year.
Or the giving of the people whose hard work is bound up in a single cup of coffee. Or all those people in days past who figured out how to make a stone ax – or a fire, edible grain, loom, vaccine, or computer. Or wrote plays and novels, made art or music. Developed mathematics and science, paths of psychological growth, and profound spiritual practices. A few people whose names you know, and tens of thousands – millions, really – whom you will never know: each day their contributions feed, clothe, transport, entertain, inspire, and heal us.

I am a Young Women and I know
Submitted by Lindsay G. (not verified) on
I am a Young Women and I know for a fact that the "No Room At The Inn" Activity isn't all that great. My Young Women did this and it just amde us all angry at our leaders because we had a door slammed in our face and it was just miserable. Now whenever we go caroling for christmas very few come because of that one time.
Thanks for your perspective
Submitted by Jenny Smith on
Thanks for your perspective on this, Lindsay. Some leaders and youth love "No Room at the Inn". Like most activities, it could be effective with some groups, and might not work with others. My advice is if you're in doubt about how an activity might go over, it's best to skip it and do one you are sure will go well.

To introduce and provide Sea Grant-developed aquatic nonindigenous species education materials to teachers and educators at inservice training sessions (hosted at regional aquaria and environmental education centers) that enables them to integrate ANS programming into K-12 classroom and outdoor education programming.
To develop curriculum modules by training session participants that incorporate asspects of Sea Grant-developed ANS education materials for K-12 education programming.
A curriculum module will be developed by participating teachers incorporating each of the Great Lakes Sea Grant Network products offered as part of the Exotics Day Camp training session.
Sea Grant programs will have a measure of the effectiveness of their products as teaching tools in the classroom and outdoor education settings.
Frequently, teachers request resources to educate their students about ANS; however, few resources have been developed or are available. In order to meet this need, teacher training, in partnership with aquaria and environmental learning centers, will serve to enhance availability of new educational resources and allow them to develop and use teaching modules based on their teaching needs. This initiative will benefit youth, our future environmental stewards, teach them about the threats that ANS pose--all aimed at changing behavior to help prevent the spread of ANS.
- Partnering with COSI Toledo, Ohio Sea Grant Education facilitated development of and coordinated a one-day training session for teachers and other educators.
- Thirty teachers and other educators were introduced to ANS educational materials and allowed to use many of the hands-on materials and tools which brought them up-to-date concerning the existing resources that are now available.
- COSI Toledo developed a display about ANS to serve as a focal point for visual learning and to provide a basis for each sessions' educational activities.
- Participants developed a curriculum module based on the education materials they used at the sessions, incorporating disciplines such as science, math, social studies, language, arts, etc., using demonstrated and effective teaching methods.
- Curriculum modules were pilot tested by an independent set of teachers, revised by participants in collaboration with the Great Lakes Network of Sea Grant Educators, who produced and now market them to educators throughout the Great Lakes region.
Benefits & Accomplishments
- Through a partnership with five educational institutions throughout the region, this training will establish a regional network of classroom and informal educators who are poised to use these materials to teach hundreds of educators in their local shcools and environmental education centers. This information will ultimately reach tens of thousands of students.
- A hands-on curriculum module using Sea Grant education resources will be developed as a joint effort of participating educators and Sea Grant specialists.
- Potential education gaps that can be filled by new Sea Grant aquatic exotic species programming and relevant products will be identified.
- Both Sea Grant and educational host site partners will gain from tremendous visibility created by this cooperative venture.
- This collaborative project will strenghten relationships among Sea Grant programs, university educators, and partnering host site educators.
- The training initiative will permit the effective use of resources among partners with parallel missions and interests for promoting environmental education.
- Aquaria and associated displays contributed by partnering educational institutions will serve not only to promote and broaden the level of awareness and education among teachers participating in this initiative, but will also be on display for future environmental education programming.

I recently wrote on the sharply declining number of special education students in Texas. Despite overall population growth, the state's special education population dropped by more than 103,000 children in seven years. Texas now diagnoses just 8.8 percent of students as special education, 4 percentage points below the national average.
Some top education officials attribute the gains to improved beginning reading instruction. They say that teachers are doing a better job teaching elementary school children to read, preventing many learning disabilities from developing. Others are more skeptical about the decline, speculating that school systems are refusing to identify students to save money or avoid accountability measures or that parents are opting out of a system they feel is ineffective. An interesting report on the topic was released last year.
I received dozens of interesting emails on the issue. Here is a sampling of edited responses with identifying information excluded:
" … We did have to be careful of our recommendations for special ed. I know that we were close to having a special needs population that qualified for a subgroup for the then TAKS. I believe then it was 10% of the school's population that qualified for special ed. We all were aware of that as an influence for recommendations. Every child was broken down by data to figure where he/she would fall for a "ding," or an influence on our overall school score. Low SES "ding", minority "ding", special ed "ding. Some students could be "dinged" three times in our overall school score. Overall low school performance … meant extra workshops, Saturday classes, extra data meetings, extra extrapolation of objectives and extra meetings with the math and reading specialists. No one – administration or teaching staff – want the label of low-performing school."

Our goal is to breed huge whitetail deer to stock the ranch. We have acquired some of the best genetics in Texas to produce high scoring whitetails. We breed first and foremost for huge frame deer. Width, tine length, and mass are the traits we look for in our deer. We like wide deer and this is apparent in the deer we have chosen to breed. Most of our doe are artificially inseminated to deer that are 30 inches wide. Each fall we artificially inseminate our does to bucks that score a minimum of 240 B&C, and some in excess of 300 B&C. We believe that quality doe are the number one factor in breeding exceptional deer. Our doe pedigrees include names like Double Drop, Daggertine, Bones, Dr. D, Bambi 727, Gladiator, and Highlander. All of our fawns are DNA tested to confirm lineage.
All of our deer have DNAS numbers controlled through NADR.

Made these with matte black spray paint. Made "bloody" candles, another Martha Stewart idea, by dripping red wax down white tapers. The more red wax you do, the better it looks. They're going to look great sitting on my square grand piano, with the black and white bug bouquet next to them.Reply

The municipalities with language facilities, occasionally called municipalities with linguistic facilities or shortly municipalities with facilities (Dutch: faciliteitengemeenten (help·info), French: "communes à facilités", German: "Fazilitäten-Gemeinden"), are municipalities in Belgium with legal provisions to protect rights of their (historic) linguistic minorities. They are so-called municipalities with a special status. The term commune with linguistic facilities can also be found.[1] In all these titles the term language facilities is difficult to interpret and has a double meaning. Facilities has its most common meaning[2] in English of something made to provide a service, as in educational facilities (schools). The extent to which the municipalities provide services in another Belgian language is explored below. To understand why providing these facilities would be of interest, the other meaning of facilities as easings must be made. The types of facilities depend on the various degrees to which easing up on the restrictions to the use of another of the official languages by residents of the designated municipalities are made. The various degrees of easing up on language restrictions have been the topic of intense political discourse in Belgium for several decades, at least.
In these municipalities, the minority language can be used to deal with local and federal government and for teaching in some primary schools. The majority language must, however, be used for dealing with provincial and regional authorities and secondary school teaching. French-speakers in Flanders and in the German language area, as well as Dutch- and German-speakers in Wallonia, can get administrative documents from local authorities and some federal authorities in their mother tongue. Legislation in these municipalities provides for equal public funding for primary schools for the language minority as well as information in the minority language from the national railway company. For public services and documents from intermediate authorities (such as the provincial and regional authorities), such rights do not exist (although on a voluntary basis, certain summary information is provided in the facilities' language).
There were three language areas as from the July 31, 1921, law: the Dutch-speaking Flemish area, the French-speaking Walloon area, and the bilingual area of Brussels (capital city). These language areas of 1921 actually had no institutional translation in the structure of the Belgian state, then still constitutionally divided into provinces and municipalities. Thence a French-speaking unilingual municipality could for instance be part of the West Flanders province.
The Belgian law of June 28, 1932 on the use of languages for administrative matters based the language status of every Belgian municipality on the decennial census that included, since 1846, several language questions about the knowledge as well as the day-to-day practice.[3] The criterion to belong to the Flemish or Walloon language area was the a threshold of 50%; whereas with a threshold of 30% the municipal authorities had to offer services in the minority language as well.[3] A municipality could ask the government to change its linguistic status by a royal decree only after a census showed a passage over the 30% or 50% threshold.
The German- and Luxembourgish-speaking minorities in Eastern Wallonia were not mentioned in the 1921 or 1931 laws. The German-speaking minority was mostly settled in the 'Eastern Cantons', several Prussian municipalities ceded to Belgium by the 1919 Treaty of Versailles and administered from 1920 to 1925 by a Belgian military High Commissioner. There was, and still is, a Luxembourgish-speaking minority in some municipalities bordering the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.
The 1932 law was implemented only once, as the invasion of Belgium by Nazi Germany in 1940 prevented the organization of the decennial census, which was organized in 1947 and applied only on July 2, 1954, when an ad hoc law modifying the law of June 28, 1932 on the use of languages for administrative matters transferred three previously unilingual Flemish municipalities with language facilities to the French-speaking minority (Evere, Ganshoren and Berchem-Sainte-Agathe/Sint-Agatha-Berchem) to the bilingual region of Brussels, thus and introduced language facilities for the French-speaking minority in four previously unilingual Flemish municipalities (Drogenbos, Kraainem, Wemmel and Linkebeek).
In 1962-1963 four language areas were formally determined: the Dutch language area (now also corresponding with the Flemish Region), the bilingual area of Brussels-Capital, (whose borders came to determine those of the present Brussels-Capital Region), the French language area and the German language (together coinciding with Wallonia).
The situation around Brussels (in the rim municipalities, see below) differs from the situation along the border between Flanders and Wallonia, and between the German and French-speaking areas in Wallonia, where certain municipalities have had linguistic minorities for several centuries. The language border appears quite stable and peaceful, except for the municipalities of Voeren (French: Fourons) and, to a much lesser extent, Mouscron (Dutch: Moeskroen) and Comines-Warneton (Dutch: Komen-Waasten).
In the early 1990s, a revision of the Belgian Constitution made it more difficult to change the language status of the concerned municipalities by requiring that any such change had to gain a majority in each of the two language groups in the House of Representatives and the Senate. Previously, an overall majority would have been enough, which could have in theory allowed a near-unanimity of Flemish representatives to impose an abolition of the facilities against the unanimous wish of the French-speaking representatives. This revision of the Constitution was widely seen by French-speakers as a recognition that language facilities had a permanent status.
Currently, both Dutch- and French-speakers voice complaints about poor or absent respect by certain authorities for their linguistic rights. Both competent Belgian and European courts are frequently solicited to arbitrate. Political discussions are often held in various competent assemblies as the Belgian Federal Parliament (which is institutionally competent in these matters), and in the regional and community parliaments assemblies. Even the Assembly of the Council of Europe became involved and sent two Swiss, then a Romanian representative to investigate the situation.
In terms of objective observations, one notes the following:
The Flemish authorities finance French-speaking schools in the Flemish municipalities with facilities for the French-speakers (see below for a list; the finances come from a special fund from the federal government: annual subvention nearly 10 million Euro).
The authorities of the French-speaking community finance one Dutch-speaking school in the Walloon municipalities with facilities for the Dutch-speakers (in Mouscron).
Both are legally required to do so. Remark that the Flemish Community also provides for the funding of a Flemish school in Comines-Warneton.
In terms of local public services and communication, it seems that the Flemish municipalities with facilities have a correct bilingual communication (their websites are bilingual or even multi-lingual), whereas most Walloon municipalities with facilities for Flemish appear monolingual in their general communication towards their inhabitants.
In the late 1990s, two Flemish ministers, Leo Peeters and Luc Vandenbrande, issued instructions to the administrations of the municipalities with facilities for the French-speakers to the effect that French-speakers who wanted to get a translation of a document had to request it every single time they were asking for it, even if they had previously already explicitly made the demand to get it in French. Those instructions sharpened the practice until then, condoned by the Permanent Commission for Language Control, a paritary body set up by the law to control the correct application of the language laws in Belgium.
French-speakers sued the Flemish Region to restore the previous practice. After multiple years, the competent Flemish Chambers of the Council of State, the highest administrative court in Belgium, supported the new instructions, in a rare case of disavowing the recommendation of its auditor. Nationalistic French speakers have generally considered that the ruling of the Flemish Chambers of the Council of State was politically motivated and legally unsound. The Walloon Region has not taken any formal step to restrict the use of facilities in a similar way for Dutch-speakers or German-speakers: although it de facto already severely restricts the facilities for Flemish: (the unilingual communication of the Walloon municipalities involved, the blocking of all funding for Dutch-speaking schools, and at least one of the four municipalities required to offer facilities for Dutch-speakers demands similar repeated requests for documents in their language per every instance).[4]
Belgian courts are extremely reluctant to arbitrate in all matters related to the linguistic and ethnic rights of the various ethnic and language groups in Belgium.
Over time, Flemings have become dissatisfied by the continued and growing presence of French-speakers in the "rim" municipalities around Brussels. As a result, there is now a strong and growing reaction in Flanders demanding that the current language facilities should be phased out, especially for the mainly recent 'migrants' around Brussels. For the facilities in the municipalities with historic minorities on the Walloon-Flemish border, there is still a willingness to consider maintaining them on condition of reciprocity (that these facilities are also re-established in practice in the corresponding Walloon cities).
French-speakers want to maintain all current facilities in Flanders, the more militant wing wanting to extend them in scope and/or area. French-speaking political parties, especially, protested against the Flemish ministerial circular letters from the socialist minister Leo Peeters (see supra). These circular letters, various additional restrictions put on the use of French in those municipalities, and the claims made by more and more Flemish politicians for the abolition of the facilities has caused a radicalisation of part of the French-speakers, many of whom now think their linguistic rights would be better protected if the "rim" municipalities joined the bilingual Brussels-Capital Region. Slightly more recently, a growing number of French-speakers as Philippe Van Parijs and the Brussels-based French employers oragnisation 'beci' started supporting the Flemish demand for respect of the 'principle of territoriality'.
Lili Nabholz-Haidegger, a Swiss deputy, made a report on September 5, 2002, inviting Belgium to recognise the fact that there is a French-speaking minority in Flanders. This report was approved by the Council of Europe. However, this assembly, contrary to the Belgian and regional legislators and the Belgian and European judiciary, has no legal competency in these matters, only a moral one. Moreover, this recommendation is seen by some experts as on legally unstable grounds as there is no definition of national minorities (not from EU legislation or from any other competent international body) and did not include any such definition that is sufficiently suitable to gain international acceptance. Before the 2002 Nabholz-Haidegger report, there had already another one from the same institution, the Domeni Columberg report, and another one afterwards, all getting to the same conclusions.
Worse, the Experts of Venise, legal experts working on behalf of the Council of Europe, formulated a set of four criteria for determining if 'a minority' might qualify as a 'national minority'. Two of those criteria cannot be said to be satisfied for the French-speakers in Flanders (being lack of historic and peaceful relations between the minority and the national authority from which they request recognition and a 'sufficient number'). Other legal specialist also mention the historic nature of the minority and specific areas where the minority is established in sufficient number.
In Flanders there are two kinds of municipalities with facilities. Rim municipalities are situated in the Flemish rim around the Brussels-Capital Region and form part of Flemish Brabant. The other municipalities are called language border municipalities because they lie close to the border with Wallonia.
Wezembeek-Oppem and Kraainem are sometimes referred to as the oostrand (eastern rim). A survey published in Le Soir on February 14, 2005, indicated that in all six rim municipalities, the majority of the population was French-speaking (the study was unofficial, since the public authorities refuse to undertake a census). More precisely, the survey claimed that the French-speaking population amounts to 55% of the population in Drogenbos, 78% in Kraainem, 79% in Linkebeek, 54% in Wemmel, 72% in Wezembeek-Oppem, and 58% in Sint-Genesius-Rode.
All municipalities in the German language region have French-language facilities:

For Immediate ReleaseNovember 1, 2005
In recent weeks, there has been much discussion of Avian Influenza, or "bird flu." Countries across the Asia-Pacific region have been coping with bird flu outbreaks for the past few years, with significant damage to poultry stocks. The flu began jumping from birds to humans around 2003, with at least 62 deaths attributed to it. Many are wondering what steps we are taking domestically to prevent an outbreak. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued a fact sheet on the bird flu, and I am including a portion in this update. For more information, you may contact the CDC through their website at www.cdc.gov, or feel free to contact my office.
What is avian influenza (bird flu)?
Bird flu is an infection caused by avian (bird) influenza (flu) viruses. These flu viruses occur naturally among birds. Wild birds worldwide carry the viruses in their intestines, but usually do not get sick from them. However, bird flu is very contagious among birds and can make some domesticated birds, including chickens, ducks, and turkeys, very sick and kill them.
Do bird flu viruses infect humans?
Bird flu viruses do not usually infect humans, but several cases of human infection with bird flu viruses have occurred since 1997.
What are the symptoms of bird flu in humans?
Symptoms of bird flu in humans have ranged from typical flu-like symptoms (fever, cough, sore throat and muscle aches) to eye infections, pneumonia, severe respiratory diseases (such as acute respiratory distress), and other severe and life-threatening complications. The symptoms of bird flu may depend on which virus caused the infection.
How does bird flu spread?
How is bird flu in humans treated?
Studies done in laboratories suggest that the prescription medicines approved for human flu viruses should work in preventing bird flu infection in humans. However, flu viruses can become resistant to these drugs, so these medications may not always work. Additional studies are needed to prove the effectiveness of these medicines.
What is the risk to humans from bird flu?
The risk from bird flu is generally low to most people because the viruses occur mainly among birds and do not usually infect humans. However, during an outbreak of bird flu among poultry (domesticated chicken, ducks, turkeys), there is a possible risk to people who have contact with infected birds or surfaces that have been contaminated with excretions from infected birds. The current outbreak of avian influenza A (H5N1) among poultry in Asia and Europe (see below) is an example of a bird flu outbreak that has caused human infections and deaths. In such situations, people should avoid contact with infected birds or contaminated surfaces, and should be careful when handling and cooking poultry.
Is there a vaccine to protect humans from H5N1 virus?
There currently is no commercially available vaccine to protect humans against the H5N1 virus that is being seen in Asia and Europe . However, vaccine development efforts are taking place. Research studies to test a vaccine to protect humans against H5N1 virus began in April 2005, and a series of clinical trials is underway.
What is the risk to people in the United States from the H5N1 bird flu outbreak in Asia and Europe ?
The current risk to Americans from the H5N1 bird flu outbreak in Asia is low. The strain of H5N1 virus found in Asia and Europe has not been found in the United States . There have been no human cases of H5N1 flu in the United States . It is possible that travelers returning from affected countries in Asia could be infected if they were exposed to the virus. Since February 2004, medical and public health personnel have been watching closely to find any such cases.
To contact Sen. Deuell about the legislative process, contact the Capitol Office at (512) 463-0102 or mail to Sen. Bob Deuell, Texas Senate, P.O. Box 12068, Austin, TX 78711.
