Want to meet new, like minded, people. Not really sure what the founder has in mind for the group, but I know I'd like to do something. I think it would be good to get to know each other a bit, perhaps figure out what we want to do in the future. Meet up for coffee and chat? Game? Volunteer (and show that religious institutions aren't the only groups trying to make the world a better place)? Hell at this point I'd be willing to go bowling! LOL. Just looking for something to do. Anyone have any ideas?
Can someone tell me when the next meetup will be. I'm only available Fridays and Saturdays.

Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young—a place near your altar, O LORD Almighty, my King and my God. (Psalm 84:3, NIV)
What worth does a sparrow have in the eyes of the world? Not much. It is too small to eat for food. It doesn't have an impressive plume of feathers. It doesn't make a very distinctive sound. It isn't known for its aerobatic maneuvers. It is a very common creature. But, the sparrow has found a home at the house of the Lord. Continue reading

The November 29 abstention by the Barbados delegation on the vote for the non-voting member status of Palestine in the United Nations General Assembly reeks of the perceived inertia among current Barbados leadership and decision making. Coincidently, the abstention was on the eve of Barbados' 46th year of Independence. According to Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary, to abstain is to refrain deliberately and often with an effort of self-denial. What plausible reason could Barbados have for denying itself a chance to help a displaced people get a better seat at the international table? Only recently, Louis Farrakhan, in his visit to Barbados, intimated that the island should be leading the Caribbean. How can we lead when we don't have the guts to vote to give another nation some rights? Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Guyana, Jamaica, St Lucia, St Vincent and the Grenadines, Trinidad and Tobago and Suriname all voted in the affirmative. There is a deafening silence on the recall of the UN delegation that could not make a decision. The Opposition has also been silent as though it has given tacit approval to the abstention?

Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner has not told President Barack Obama he would like to leave after a debt ceiling deal is reached, White House spokesman Jay Carney said Tuesday.
Sources familiar with Geithner's thinking said last week he was considering stepping down once the country's $14.3 trillion debt limit is raised.
That must happen by Aug. 2 to avoid a U.S. sovereign default, according to the Treasury Department.
Carney, when asked whether Geithner had told Obama he would like to leave in that timeline, said: "Not that I'm aware of, no. I think he will be here for the foreseeable future."
Geithner is the last of Obama's original economic team. He helped steer the economy out of the worst of the financial crisis and into what is still a fragile recovery.
After that grueling stretch, and with his family moving to New York in a few months, Geithner is thought to be ready to leave Washington. But he sidestepped a direct question about his career plans as speculation brewed last week.
"I've only worked in public service. I live for this work. It's the only thing I've ever done, I believe in it," he said. "We have a lot of challenges as a country, and I'm going to be doing it for the foreseeable future."

Rhetoric heats up in debate over proselytizing in the military
Kristin Murphy, Deseret News
A war over the religious freedom of military chaplains and the troops they serve is being waged in the Pentagon.
The latest salvo came this week when conservative blogger Todd Starnes wrote on Fox News and the Christian Post that the Pentagon confirmed that "religious proselytization is not permitted within the Department of Defense."
The regulation is not new. In August, the Air Force issued a policy telling its chaplains that they must balance an airman's right to religious exercise with a prohibition against government establishment of religion. A violation of the policy could result in a court-martial.
What is new is a recent demand to enforce the rule. It came after a private meeting last week between Pentagon officials and Larry Wilkerson, former chief of staff to Colin Powell, former Ambassador Joe Wilson and civil rights attorney Michael L. "Mikey" Weinstein.
Conservative Christians are particularly upset that the Department of Defense is taking advice from Weinstein, who heads the Military Religious Freedom Foundation.
"God help us now when someone with such visceral hatred of conservative Christians — literally tens of millions of Americans — who says sharing this gospel is 'spiritual rape' is helping develop policies for how to deal with Christians in the military," wrote Ken Klukowski, director of the Center for Religious Liberty at Family Research Council.
He draws his conclusions about Weinstein's view of Christianity from a Huffington Post blog in which Weinstein referred to so-called fundamentalist Christians as monsters, bigots, bandits and evil, among other things.
Weinstein told Washington Post columnist Sally Quinn that "there is systematic misogyny, anti-Semitism and Islamophobia in the military." He called such a culture "a national security threat. What is happening (aside from sexual assault) is spiritual rape. And what the Pentagon needs to understand is that it is sedition and treason. It should be punished."
Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, reacted by saying the military meeting with Weinstein on religious freedom is "like consulting with China on how to improve human rights."
The FRC has launched a petition drive urging Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel to "not to proceed with the purge of religion within the ranks called for by anti-Christian activists."
Ron Crews, the executive director of the Chaplain Alliance for Religious Liberty, told the Christian Post that deciding "a service member cannot speak of his faith is like telling a service member he cannot talk about his spouse or children.
"I do not think the Air Force wants to ban personnel from protected religious speech, and I certainly hope that it is willing to listen to the numerous individuals and groups who protect military religious liberty without demonizing service members."
Two other stories this week signaled that military chaplains are on edge over what they can and cannot say to the troops they advise. Barry Black, the U.S. Senate chaplain and a former military chaplain, said military chaplains could be accused of "hate speech" for teaching what scripture says about homosexuality, according the Christian Post.
"I can see many military chaplains having some problems because, to teach the passages of Paul with exegetical integrity would mean being accused of engaging in hate speech," Black told a Heritage Foundation audience. "So, this is a challenge that I think we're going to have to deal with going forward."
Same-sex marriage may affect more than what a chaplain preaches, says a candidate for the chaplaincy, who wrote under a pseudonym in American Thinker for fear of hurting his chances to become a military chaplain.
"What will happen when a military chaplain turns down gay soldiers who want the chaplain to marry them?" he asked hypothetically. "The military has already seen a major shift in policy towards homosexuals as well as significant rules towards political correctness. If the Army decides that gay marriage is more valuable than the religious beliefs of their chaplains there will likely be a significant change to the Chaplain Corps."

We are mountain biking the Salado Creek Greenway. I expect it will take about 50 minutes to go out and then another 50 to come back. We will be there about 2 hours. Parking can be difficult at this park sometimes. Plan on arriving early.
We will begin at the parking lot of Phil Hardberger park.
We will ride at about 8 to 12 mph.
Here is some of my usual stuff:
There are smooth parts and rocky parts and any part that makes you uncomfortable you can walk though it. Make sure you have water, sun block, and wear a helmet. We will be riding for about 2 hours. When we ride we will have some rest stops along the way to let everyone catch their breath. I will only be there only if there are people who RSVP "YES" by the RSVP deadline. The deadline to rsvp is the day before the meetup.
Rain cancels this event.
I will probably be wearing black shorts and a blue shirt. Look for the dark green mountain bike. I will sit on top of the stone tables that are in the center "island" area where the cars drive around. Probably I will be reading a book also. See you at the park.
Might be running a bit late, but not too late. Possibly 5 mins.

OPINION: Even in a supposedly liberal democracy, there's a price to be paid for speaking your mind. Broadcaster and columnist Paul Holmes demonstrated that when he was subjected to a barrage of vitriol for expressing his disgust over the latest unpleasantness on Waitangi Day.
Writing in his New Zealand Herald column, Holmes described Waitangi Day protests as repugnant and said he dreaded the inevitable TV coverage of "irrational Maori ghastliness with spitting, smugness, self-righteousness and the usual neurotic Maori politics, in which some bizarre new wrong we've never thought about will be lying on the table".
Hone Harawira, Maori academic Rawiri Taonui and former broadcaster Brian Edwards were among the many who went on the attack.
Holmes was even the subject of a savage editorial in the Herald on Sunday.
Edwards described Holmes' column as a racist diatribe and suggested he must have been drunk to write what he did.
The implication here is that when someone as intelligent as Holmes expresses an opinion that doesn't conform to Edwards' own world view, the only possible explanation is that he must have been intoxicated. If Edwards was serious, this elevates intellectual conceit to a new level.
The fury unleashed at Holmes exemplified a now-familiar technique in what passes for public debate in New Zealand. When someone in a position of prominence makes a statement that's deemed politically threatening, the response is to subject the offender to such overwhelming vilification that anyone tempted to speak out in agreement will be intimidated into silence.
It's a crude and brutal tactic, but very effective. The message couldn't be clearer: raise your head above the parapet and the guardians of political orthodoxy will blow it off.
We last saw it with the hapless Auckland employers' chief Alasdair Thompson, whose unguarded, off-the-cuff remark about women's sick leave saw him carted off to the guillotine to the gratification of a howling mob.
But here's the thing: Holmes' column attracted 390 online responses that were overwhelmingly supportive.
The knee-jerk reaction, of course, is to dismiss all those who agree with Holmes as racists who want to keep Maori subjugated. But no-one in their right mind wants to see Maori fail; every New Zealander has a vital stake in Maori succeeding, not only economically but educationally and socially. Everyone benefits from a Maori population that is employed, healthy and fulfilling its considerable potential.
The real debate is about how to achieve that, and in writing his column, Holmes gave voice to a large swath of New Zealanders who are increasingly exasperated: exasperated that the more Maori demands are met, the more strident and divisive they become; and exasperated that despite decades of Treaty settlements and power-sharing arrangements, Maori social problems such as welfare dependency, crime, poor health and child abuse – which are a shocking blight on us all – seem if anything to be growing worse.
Inevitably people start to wonder whether Treaty settlements and other provisions for empowering Maori simply end up enhancing the influence, wealth and status of a tribal elite.
While corporate Maori interests exert pressure on a compliant government to give them preferential treatment in the partial sale of state assets, Maori children continue to suffer from rheumatic fever, endure sometimes fatal abuse from their whanau and go to school without shoes or lunches.
I'm reminded of rich Arab oil states that moralise indignantly about the plight of Palestinian refugees yet seem extraordinarily reluctant to part with any of their wealth so that their fellow Arabs in the refugee camps might have a better future.
I believe most Pakeha New Zealanders are anxious to do the right thing. They have been willing to be persuaded – albeit with some scepticism at times – that historical wrongs must be righted by settling Treaty claims and, more recently, by discarding democratic principles through the creation of non-elected and largely non-accountable Maori bodies that wield significant political and economic power.
But an environment has now been created in which each settlement becomes a platform for others. Far from satisfying Maori demands, each payout seems to reinforce the sense of entitlement. So we now have perversions such as special Maori seats on local authorities, even in areas where Maori represent only a small proportion of the population, and demands for $295 million in ratepayers' money to be spent by a non-elected board on Auckland Maori.
Captain Hobson famously said at Waitangi: "Now we are one people." Paradoxically, we are now accelerating headlong into a future where New Zealand is at risk of becoming two countries, to the detriment of both.
If Holmes' column lifted the veil of polite silence on these issues (and obviously it did, or I wouldn't be writing about it), then he did us all a favour. It's a vital debate and it must not be stifled.

I'm kind of reading 2 books now.
"Our Little War - the 1139th Military Police Company in Baghdad" which is written by an old acquaintance of mine. He just got it published & sent me a copy.
"Ain't Nobody's Business If You Do - the absurdity of consensual crimes in our free country" by Peter McWilliams.
Both are very interesting books.

In the continuation of my study of Islam, I am reading Islam Unveiled by Robert Spencer. Excellent book. I am about half through the book and I sense that Spencer blames a lot of the problems of Muslims on their total reliance on the Qur'an to the exclusion of all other study. Which leaves them intellectually way back in the middle ages.

in continuing my goal to read all the works of john steinbeck:
"the sea of cortez: a leisurely journal ..." most interesting. early on had a discussion of the human significance of boats in our consciousness--nice!
finished "the glitter dome" trashy cop drama.
msc, there's a new book featured by Human Events: "the truth about Muhammad." summarizes what is actually known about the founder of islam.

gnome guy - thanks for the tip on the book, I will look for it. I am on my sixth book about Islam. Fascinating subject and I find that most people that I talk to know almost nothing about it. We ought to know who are enemy is and what they are all about.

I guess some folks are of the opinion that parenthood is an absolute right. I'm not. Of course, there are also ways to have a child, even a child who is genetically yours, without being pregnant. And there are things that people can, if they choose to, do about an accidental pregnancy. I'd never FORCE someone to take such measures, but I won't pretend that they don't exist. Having sex is (normally) a choice. Birth control is a choice. What to do about an unplanned pregnancy is another choice. Frankly, I made all those choices before I ever lost my virginity, because I felt it was that important.
As for "accidents happen," that's very true; HALF the pregnancies in this country are unintended, even though the least effective NFP system has about a 78% effectiveness rate (so clearly, there's something greater at work here). That needs addressing too, but is beyond the scope of this thread.
But it doesn't seem to me that there's likely to be a huge intersection between women who are pregnant unintentionally and women who would demand a c-section for personal convenience, either.
There's also a whole lot of mistaking economic factors for command-and-control factors going on in this thread, as though somehow our economic system deprives people of free will. Clearly, (let's get anecdotal again) with the number of women on here who have done all kinds of amazing stuff to make it possible to afford a homebirth on a very tight budget, if something is very valuable to you, you'll get it. Making something expensive is NOT the same as making it illegal.
I don't think that every woman should have to pay out of pocket for every birth, but I also don't think I should have to pick up the tab for the increased cost of people having vanity c-sections. It's not just the cost of the surgery; it's the increased cost of health care for mom and baby for THE REST OF THEIR LIVES. If we had to pay out-of-pocket for our insurance premiums, it would be over $800/month for our family. We're lucky that my husband's company pays so generously (and they have a sliding scale, so that higher-income employees pay a larger share of their premiums), but millions of folks in this country have NO coverage because it's beyond their means. When coverage includes major abdominal surgery for whatever reason someone can come up with, it's no wonder why it's out of reach.
I guess some folks are of the opinion that parenthood is an absolute right. I'm not.
I don't think it is anyone's right to say that someone cannot have children if they do not want to do things the way some group has decided is best or right. I see that argument used entirely too often around here as concerns birth and breastfeeding, that women should be forced to do things a certain way or else prohibited from having children, and I find that argument extremely distasteful and alarming.
Policing other women's bodies is a bad, bad road.
Sapphire, when exactly is this going to happen? I was born at home and I am now 54. My oldest child is 27 and my youngest is now 16.
There is an old thread on this very forum of celebrities who have had their children at home, and believe me, there are several from decades ago.
Dr. Eisenstein has been delivering babies at home as a practice for over 30 years.
Rich women have had babies at home for a while, but it is the power elite, the insurance companies, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies and medical establishment that keeps homebirth a non-choice for pregnant women.
Tell me when this is going to happen so that I can mark my calendar.
|I think that, in an ideal world, we should be able to count on our birth professionals to examine what went wrong and help us to avoid the same circumstances... but too many doctors view vaginal birth like it's some kind of mysterious voodoo that they can't *possibly* hope to understand, so there's no concept of avoiding the same circumstance next time.

mama to (4/05), (6/07vbac), (8/09vbac), and (9/11vbac)
I'm surprised that no one has mentioned at all that truly elective cesarean is unethical for a doctor to perform. This argument shouldn't even be framed as a woman's choice. It goes against the Hippocratic Oath for a doc to do it. You know, "First do no harm," and all that: "To keep the good of the patient as the highest priority."
Maybe for some emotional reason it is in the best interest of the patient to have a c-section. Maybe would do more harm emotionally to force a mother into a vaginal birth that she didn't want. I think that a person's emotional well being is just as important as their medical one. I also think that if a really high risk mother that all the research shows would be better off birthing at a hospital, had personal reasons that they want to avoid a hospital birth but instead chose to UC, they should. I personally would not choose that, but I can understand why they are making that choice and will support them. As long as they have done their research and understand the risks, women should be allowed to birth as they wish.
I would think that extraordinary emotional reasons may become medically-indicated.
I also can see the argument about body modification. There aren't many docs who will cut off my foot even with a pressing emotional reason, however. Plus, c/s involve two lives. While I think that as someone who is pro-choice I believe the mother's health trumps a baby's, does her desire to avoid pushing trump a baby's health?
I don't know the answer to that, to be honest.
Right, but then your c/s is medically indicated, if not medically necessary, per se, so how does that even apply?
As for high risk women being forced into hospital births - no, I don't think they should be forced. But a high risk woman will have trouble finding a care provider outside of the hospital, so it's not exactly a choice because the burden is on her.
So if they're also giving them free C-sections for all those pregnancies without ANY medical reason? No, I'm not cool with that.
|I also just don't understand WHY someone would choose it??? I might have to have one due to previa and I will be SO disappointed if that happens. Obviously, my main fear is not having complications or bleeding from previa, but also on my mind is a c-section that I do NOT want! How can someone just choose that? I don't get it.

Kapiti Observer
A sperm whale washed up on Paraparaumu Beach brought out crowds of onlookers yesterday.
Hundreds of people flocked to the beach to touch and have photographs taken with the 15-metre, 40-tonne giant, which beached in the sand in front of the Kapiti Boating Club.
Local iwi would take the jaw bone using knives, saws and hooks before it was buried and would also name the whale.
Kaumatua Don Te Maipi performed a karakia and said it was like a funeral. He was delighted so many people were pouring on to the beach to show their respects.
Mr Te Maipi said the whale's death was spiritually tied to the death of Bruce Mansell, a prominent local who was the managing director of Coastlands. He passed away yesterday.
A DOC spokesman said they were hoping to move the whale up the beach using diggers today, as the tide washing in would start to bury it in the beach.
The carcass had now been cordoned by Kapiti Coast District Council due to health risks.
Te Papa Museum marine mammal collection manager Anton van Helden said the whale was freshly dead and had possibly died on the beach or very close to shore.
He believed it was an older adult male.
"There is considerable wear on the teeth and a lot of white scarring on the skin," van Helden said.
"It probably died of suffocation due to being stranded but what caused it to come in is another equation.
"They may suffer the same old age conditions as we do such as heart disease and arthritis, which could contribute to the cause of death."
Department of Conservation biodiversity ranger Brent Tandy said the whale was an adult, and one of the biggest he had dealt with.
"We've had a few whales wash up in the past, but none on this scale," he said.
A local fisherman said he had seen a whale thrashing around between the shore and Kapiti Island over the past few days.
Kapiti Marine Charters' Ross Leger came across the whale just after 6am when he was checking on weather for the day's sailing across to Kapiti Island and believed it had stranded just after midnight this morning.
He recalled a stranding at Paekakariki about 10 years ago and said there was a major stranding of about 18 orca in 1952.
Waikanae's Damian Parata, of Whakarongotai marae, said a dead sperm whale washed up on Peka Peka Beach eight years ago after a stormy night. He said that whale was about 17 years old.
Kapiti mayor Jenny Rowan said it was "a humbling experience to be alongside such a magnificent creature that lived nearby that we hardly ever see."
John Bole, of Paraparaumu Beach, brought his children to have a look at the whale, after seeing it out the window when he rose. He said it was not there at 9pm the night before.
Tessa Mackay, 9, managed to touch the whale before DOC cordoned the body off.
"It is pretty warm. It is sad for such a huge animal," she said.
Her father, Iain Mackay said it was quite exciting as well as sad.
"I have never been this close to a whale before," Mr Mackay said.
Adult male sperm whales weigh up to 57 tonnes, can be up to 20 metres long and can live for 65 years. They are found in all oceans and are classified as vulnerable.
Three sperm whales were stranded on Paekakariki Beach in 1996.

Thanks for the feedback, Darren. Indeed, it is sad to see how reach has dramatically decreased for many travel brands active on Facebook, making paid content a must-have tactic, while it used to be a nice-to-have approach for a more dynamic community management.
Smaller organizations may have to reconsider their time and money investment in Facebook, seeing such low reach. That's not necessarily a bad thing, as they can focus on their owned media (web site, newsletters, blog, etc.) and perhaps other tactics such as TripAdvisor, Google AdWords and other sites like Google+, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, etc.
As you say, Facebook could rival TripAdvisor (and many others) "if they play their cards right". Not sure that's the case right now, but we shall see...
Dec 17 Posted 1 year ago
Very Usefull article,
One of the best things about Facebook is the analytics tool, Facebook Insights, which you automatically get access to when you create a page.
Within it, you can track the number of likes, engaged users, people talking about your content, reach, viral reach and so on, all beautifully graphed for you.
I have laso created facebook page for my travelig search engine site (http://www.relexgo.com/hotels/) and using it for brand awareness.
Dec 17 Posted 1 year ago
Great article, but also a bit sad in term of how reach is decreasing all the time.
For about the last 6 months I've been saying to people that over the next few years, Facebook could rival TripAdvisor in some ways if they play their cards right. I can already follow friends around the world if I want to, or see their recommendations if they use FB a lot - it's the new word of mouth.
Once FB Graph Search really takes hold people could potentially use this, and FB 'nearby' when travelling as a rival to Google searches for restaurants....but the more it's used, the more likes there are, the more posts, the lower your content goes. Maybe FB won't become all about 'you must post 2-5 times a day to get noticed' and be more about recommendations etc for tourism and hospitality.

Nigerian former international, Adokiye Amiesimaka, has disagreed on the excuses offered by John Mikel Obi, Victor Moses and Apam Onyekachi for opting out of this month's international friendly against Venezuela.
The players were on Sunday excused from the game by the Coach of Nigerian national team, Stephen Okechukwu Keshi, for "different reasons." Chelsea's midfielder, Mikel, told Keshi he had "family issues" to resolve, but Amiesimaka was not impressed.
"Three of them at the same time? Mere coincidence or stage-managed ploy to miss (the game)? What may the 'family issues' (with Mikel)?" Amiesimaka queried. Amiesimaka, who was part of the Nigerian team that won the Africa Cup of Nations in 1980, said the players might have intentionally stayed away from the game as they "considered it not important enough."
"Chances are that the match is not considered important enough to risk injury for," Amiesimaka told supersport.com. The former dashing winger, however, refused to blame the players outright for opting out of the game. "I can't blame them.
There is too much going for them in their clubs to take chances. Fundamental question for the NFF as always is: what kind of insurance cover do national team players have on national assignment? "Don't be fooled.
Patriotism isn't synonymous with stupidity. Knowing that your country truly cares is what facilitates patriotism," he stated. Nigeria will face Venezuela in Miami on November 15 in the second ever clash between both nations.

Canada's parliamentary budget officer has released a report that shows what many of us have known for a long time: the federal government is shortchanging Ontario on fiscal transfers. The PBO highlights a $1.2-billion shortfall due to recent tinkering, but this is just the tip of the iceberg.
The current federal government has politicized fiscal transfers to an unprecedented degree. In the hands of the federal government, what should be nation-building fiscal tools have become weapons to wage fiscal battles.
Like his predecessor, the current federal finance minister worries out loud about Ontario's deficit and publicly speculates about credit rating agencies. These are real issues. But the federal government should do more than just nag. It should stop manipulating federal fiscal transfers in a manner that hurts Ontario's balance sheet.
Ontario's complaints have been dismissed by the federal government as whining. Former Finance Minister Jim Flaherty was fond of saying Ontario's problem was that the government of Ontario just didn't understand the simple math of equalization.
While it is true there are mathematical formulas for allocating fiscal transfers, the federal government has also very deliberately changed the formulas several times over the past five years. The interventions are technical and difficult to understand but each has resulted in Ontario getting less than it otherwise would have and weakened Ontario's balance sheet.
Ontario first qualified for equalization in 2009. In response, the federal government put a new cap on payments. The result was that, in the middle of the most severe economic downturn since the Great Depression, Ontario was denied funds to which it was entitled.
To compound matters, the federal government then implemented this cap by clawing back 25 per cent of Ontario's equalization payment, but only 5 per cent from other provinces. There has never been an explanation for why.
Last year, the federal government made "technical" changes to the equalization formula that cost Ontario another $200 million.
More recently, Ontario qualified for a special program known as "Total Transfer Protection" (the first and only time it qualified), which had provided seven other provinces with $2.1 billion in the previous five years. Seeing as Ontario was the only province to qualify this year, the federal government ended the program, costing Ontario $640 million. Again, no sensible explanation has been offered.
The pattern above has been repeated in recent years in many other funding decisions. Earlier this year, the federal government announced its new infrastructure funding programs across the country. In one program, each province will receive the same amount — $250 million.
To put that in perspective: Ontario, home to nearly 14 million people, will receive the same amount as PEI and its 150,000. The result is that Ontario, with 39 per cent of the Canadian population, will receive about 28 per cent of federal infrastructure spending.
The PBO looked only at recent federal tinkering to the equalization program and other major transfers. An examination of the structure of the program, as well as the pattern of federal spending more generally, would have revealed even more federal complicity in exacerbating Ontario's deficit.
The Mowat Centre has been highlighting some of these issues for years. We are often told to stop whining. The issues are complicated and many people refuse to believe that the federal government would actually engage in tinkering with allocation formulae and fiscal transfers to weaken Ontario's balance sheet. But that seems to be the logical conclusion based on recent evidence.
Some are now suggesting that the federal government has put the Ontario government on its enemies list. Others suggest that the federal government is focused on balancing its books and assumes people in Ontario are less likely to raise a stink than people in Quebec or B.C. might if they were being treated unfairly.
It is not possible to be sure about federal intentions or motivations. But the result is clear. The people of Ontario — who now get less job training, fewer services, less infrastructure money, carry a larger debt — are collateral damage. All Ontarians — regardless of partisan orientation — need to start paying attention, and demanding better of our federal government.
Matthew Mendelsohn is the Director of the Mowat Centre at the School of Public Policy & Governance at the University of Toronto. He served as Ontario's Deputy Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs from 2005-2008. Recent publications on federal transfers to Ontario can be downloaded at www.mowatcentre.ca .

Brooklyn Mother Accused Of Beating 2-Year-Old With Bamboo Stick
March 1, 2014 4:48 PM
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — A Brooklyn mother has been arrested and charged for allegedly beating her 2-year-old so severely that he was hospitalized.
According to police, 27-year-old Yayun Weng brought her 2-year-old son to Maimonides Medical Center Thursday night, 1010 WINS reported.
Doctors called police after they saw the boy had bruises on over 90 percent of his body, the Daily News reported.
Police said Weng used a bamboo stick to beat the toddler, who is listed in critical condition.
Weng is charged with two counts of assault, causing injury of a person less than 11, endangering the welfare of a child, menacing, criminal possession of a weapon and harassment, 1010 WINS reported.

نيك بنات عمره 19 نيكول Some sources have represented the Chimera with three heads - the lion`s head as the main, then the goat`s head sprouted from its back, and the serpent`s or Dragon�s head on its tail -, but the popular myth tells of the single, fire-vomiting head. نيك بنات عمره 19 We usually think of the Earth`s axis as being fixed in direction - after all, it always seems to point toward Polaris, the North Star. نيكوفنانات This means that the Earth is rushing through space around the Sun at a rate of about 67,000 miles per hour! The time it takes for the Earth to go around the Sun one full time is what we call a year. Both of them vehemently deny this alleged relationship, but the couple was later confirmed when they announced it individually on their websites. I put a Feng Shui cure in the Wealth corner.
While some claim that the creature was also nothing more than an escaped baboon, others insist that it was also a genuine ape man, not unlike its cousin that haunted Fouke, Arkansas in the 1970s.
Described as huge, black, serpentine creatures, the Aeta`s claim that these animals are unlike any eel, fish or snake that they are familiar with. نيكوفنانات A bikini or two piece is a women`s swimsuit with two parts, one covering the breasts - optionally in the case of the monokini -, the other the groin - and optionally the buttocks -, leaving an uncovered area between the two - optionally in the case of the Tankini -. The shapes of both parts of a bikini resemble women`s underwear, and the lower part can range from revealing thong or g-string to briefs and modest square-cut shorts. نيكول Described as huge, black, serpentine creatures, the Aeta`s claim that these animals are unlike any eel, fish or snake that they are familiar with.
Six months later, when the Earth is on the opposite side of the Sun, the northern hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun and experiences winter.

Adam Sandler has topped the list of Forbes magazine's most overpaid actors of the year, ahead of Katherine Heigl.
The "Grown Ups" star is paid approximately $15 million per film, but his return on profit is not worth the payout, according to magazine bosses – for every dollar the star is paid he brings in $3.40 in profit, according to statistics.
For example, "Jack & Jill" grossed $150 million but cost an estimated $80 million to make, and "That's My Boy" had an estimated budget of $70 million and only brought in $57 million at the box office.
Coming in second is Heigl, who returns an average of $3.50 for every dollar she is paid.
Rounding out the top five are Reese Witherspoon, Nicolas Cage, and Sandler's "Grown Ups" sidekick Kevin James.

Great location, close to trams, without being too noisy and an easy walk down to Acland St for all the cafe and cakes. Alan met us promptly at the arranged times which made for a nice easy visit to St Kilda.
I have recently stayed in this apartment for 10 days and can't speak highly enough of this residence. The apartment was very clean and comfortable ('loved the bed') and the location was just perfect for me! It has a great walk in robe, providing plenty of space, plus an iron and ironing board, vacuum cleaner and mop etc. I love going to buzzy Acland Street, which was only a 10 minute walk away, and St Kilda Road was very close by, for public transport into the city etc. A small dishwasher, reverse cycle air conditioning. a fold out couch in the lounge room and a nicely sized balcony to sit out on, were just a few of the things which enhanced my stay. It also had access to a laundry downstairs (containing 2 washing machines and 2 dryers), 1 off-street parking space plus a parking permit for street parking; excellent! The apartment was surprisingly quiet, being right at the front of a fairly large block, and other residents I came in contact with were all very pleasant. Alan was great, very friendly and personable - and I certainly look forward to contacting him again in the future, when I return to Melbourne and require accommodation that not only meets all my needs, but is also reasonably priced. I would certainly recommend this property to anyone who is looking to stay in the wonderful suburb of St Kilda! Enjoy!
Alan, he is very kind and humble host. I think he is the most valuable piece of this accommodation. The location, transportation was good enough to whom plan to enjoy city of Melbourne and the beautiful St. Kilda beach. I also like the Albert Lake Park very near to the apartment.
However, one thing I should comment is the sofa. It might be replaced or at least cleaned to maintain the whole value of this (website hidden). Kilda is not a cheap place to stay, but it is worth visiting for who want to enjoy their summer vacation.
Il signor Alan Zaks è stato molto gentile e disponibile e non ci sono stati particolari problemi nel rapporto con lui, a parte quello della lingua (il mio inglese è veramente scarso e lui naturalmente non parlava italiano) anche se a ciò ha supplito la presenza di mio figlio che parla inglese e che ha fatto da intermediario tra di noi.
In compenso lui si è fatto in quattro per sopperire alle nostre necessità, procurandoci anche un piumone in più quando ne abbiamo fatto richiesta.
L'appartamento è piccolo, ma comodo e ben tenuto e dotato di tutto il necessario (e anche di più) per un soggiorno piacevole. Manca il riscaldamento, ma a ciò supplisce egregiamente il condizionatore d'aria a pompa di calore che assicura una temperatura ottimale anche con il clima rigido ed invernale che abbiamo avuto durante il nostro soggiorno.
L'unico vero inconveniente è stato che la finestra del bagno non si poteva chiudere e da lì entrava un fiotto di aria gelida molto fastidioso quando si usava il bagno la notte o quando si faceva la doccia. Molto comodo invece, almeno per un fumatore come me, il poggiolo attrezzato con poltroncine, tavolino e posacenere e riparato da una cupola in plexiglas, ove era possibile ritirarsi a fumare.
La casa è situata in un quartiere in periferia, in una stradina laterale molto tranquilla e silenziosa, cosa che permette di dormire bene la notte anche per chi ha il sonno leggero. Vantaggio non indifferente è il fatto di essere a pochi passi dalla fermata dei tram 3 e 67 che permettono un facile e veloce collegamento sia con il centro della città che con il lungomare.
Nel complesso io e mia moglie abbiamo avuto un soggiorno molto piacevole in questo appartamento, e nel caso dovessimo tornare ancora a Melbourne sicuramente chiederemo ancora ospitalità al signor Zaks.
I hired Alan's apartment for my parents' trip to the Australian Open. They said he was very welcoming (he drove them to the local store). Overall very happy with this accommodation.
The reservation was canceled 77 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
