Committee on Finance. - Vote 37: Agriculture.
Wednesday, 22 March 1972
Dáil Eireann Debate
Minister for Agriculture and Fisheries (Mr. J. Gibbons): I move:
That a supplementary sum not exceeding £7,368,000 be granted to defray the charge which will come in course of payment during the year ending on the 31st March, 1972, for the salaries and expenses of the Office of the Minister for Agriculture and Fisheries, including certain services administered by that Office, and for payment of certain subsidies, and sundry Grants-in-Aid.
The net amount of this Supplementary Estimate, added to the original Estimate for 1971-72, represents a total net provision of £80,140,000. This figure shows an increase of £10,663,990 on the final total Estimate for Agriculture, including the Supplementary Estimates, for 1970-71. Miscellaneous savings amounting to £1,178,000 have been taken into account.
The additional sum now required includes £1.6 million net for bovine tuberculosis eradication and £100,000 net for brucellosis eradication; £1.3 million for the beef cattle incentive scheme; £1.25 million for the farm buildings and water supplies schemes; £812,000 for the Land Project; £675,000 for bacon and pork export support; £550,000 for lime and fertilisers; £300,000 for sheep headage [2091] grants; £285,000 for county committees of agriculture; £166,000 for agricultural schools and £119,000 in respect of wheat losses. In the limited time available I propose to deal only with the more important items.
The continuing interest in the beef cattle incentive scheme will lead to payments to about 58,000 herdowners amounting to £6.6 million for the year as against the £5.3 million already provided. I am therefore providing in this Estimate a sum of £1.3 million to meet the additional cost of grants due to all eligible herdowners.
An additional sum of £675,000 is being provided in connection with the operation of the scheme of support prices for exports of bacon and pork. This includes the £0.5 million which, as announced in last year's Budget, is being provided because of further increases in pig production costs. It also includes a sum of £175,000 now estimated to be required for pigmeat export support on account of the increased exports of pigmeat and the higher rates of subsidy payable this year.
The original Estimate for the bovine tuberculosis eradication and brucellosis eradication schemes was £3.5 million net after sale of reactors. It now seems likely that actual net expenditure will turn out at £5.2 million, an increase of £1.7 million. Our cattle numbers have grown, with a consequent increase in the volume of testing. Cattle prices have improved considerably and the cost to the State of taking up reactors has risen. There has also been an increase in the fees paid to veterinary surgeons for work under both schemes.
The Estimates for my Department usually includes a token sum of £5 to enable payment to be made in any cases which may arise involving the compulsory slaughter of animals taken up under the diseases of animals legislation. In the current year it became necessary for my Department to take up a total of 44 animals for slaughter under the provisions of the Johne's Disease Order. A sum of about £4,000 for this is included in the Supplementary Estimate.
[2092] There is a provision for an extra £119,000 for recoupment of losses incurred as a result of purchases and resale of native wheat. Of this amount £62,000 is a balance due to An Bord Gráin in respect of losses in disposing of surplus millable wheat of the 1968 crop. The remainder relates to losses on disposal as feed in 1970 of 30,000 tons of surplus millable wheat held by the flour millers. The decline in bread consumption, coupled with the fact that modern harvesting methods allow smaller carry forward stocks, led to a build up of excessive stocks by the flour millers. By arrangement with the Irish Flour Millers' Association, the loss, amounting to £572,000 in all, is being paid in three annual instalments with appropriate bank interest. Liability in the current year is approximately £237,000 and it is necessary to provide £57,000 in addition to the original Estimate provision of £180,000.
Demand for the facilities provided by the Department's various development schemes continues at a high level. The fine autumn of 1971 resulted in a large number of Land Project works being completed and it is now expected that a further £812,000 will be required to meet expenditure to 31st March.
The additional and more attractive grants under the Farm Buildings and Water Supplies Schemes and the favourable weather during the year led to increased demand for the facilities of these schemes. The result is that grants are expected to total £4.075 million or £1.25 million more than the amount already provided.
An additional £550,000 is required to meet increased expenditure on limestone and fertilisers. A sum of £200,000 is accounted for by the high level of deliveries of ground limestone and the 12½ per cent increase in transport subsidy rates. Fertilisers require an additional £350,000 because the subsidy in respect of the exceptionally heavy consumption of fertilisers in the period February to April, 1971, fell to be met in the current financial year.
I am providing an extra £153,000 to enable payment to be made of the balance of the purchase money for Kildalton Agricultural and Horticultural College, and £13,000 to cover pay [2093] increases at agricultural schools generally.
The Grant-in-Aid to the Farm Apprenticeship Board is being increased by £4,000 to cover the needs of the board including the expenses incurred in the introduction of the recently announced new Trainee Farmer Scheme. This will cater for young men who will inherit farms but who cannot be spared from home for the full period of training required under the main Farm Apprenticeship Scheme.
In the case of grants to county committees of agriculture an additional £285,000 is required to meet increases in the salaries and travelling expenses of officers of the county committees and also in the cost of the schemes operated by the committees.
A token sum of £10 is included in this Supplementary Estimate in respect of dairy produce. Under the revised creamery milk price structure, the price payable to manufacturers for skim milk powder is stabilised at £185 per ton which is reckoned to provide for payment of a producer price of about 5p per gallon of skim milk. As facilities for the production of skim milk powder or whole milk products are not available in some areas, an Exchequer subsidy of 2½ per gallon is payable on such quantities of skim milk as are returned to suppliers. This subsidy is being paid by the Department to the suppliers through their creameries. In the current year the cost of this skim milk subsidy is expected to be £150,000 which will, however, be met from savings on other items.
I am providing £20,000 for fees to business consultants who are at present carrying out, for the information of my Department and the Department of Finance, a detailed survey of the operations of the Dairy Disposal Company. The aims of the survey are to evaluate and define the future commercial functioning of the company, to explore means of improving the company profitability, and to make recommendations in regard to the managerial requirements of the company. It is hoped that the survey will be completed in the very near future.
[2094] During the past year or so negotiations have taken place for the transfer of some of the company's interests to co-operative ownership. Negotiations for the transfer of four of the company's creamery groups have now been concluded or are at the point of being finalised. This is positive evidence of my aim to transfer the company's interests to co-operative societies and to assist the rationalisation of the creamery industry.
To stimulate further progress in sheep production, the 1971 Budget provided for an increase from £1.50 to £2 per head in the subsidy payable on hogget ewes. This increase in the rate of subsidy, together with an increase in the number of sheep qualifying under the sheep subsidy schemes, brings to £1.8 million the total requirement under this head, an increase of £300,000 on the original Estimate.
Finally, the Grant-in-Aid for the World Food Programme has been increased by £50,000 to cover the cost of sending an emergency consignment of skim milk powder to India last September for the relief of the victims of the civil strife in East Pakistan. The food was sent in response to an appeal by the Secretary General of the United Nations and a request by the Indian Government for assistance in coping with the vast influx of refugees into India at that time.
Mr. Creed: I welcome the Supplementary Estimate, even though it is wide ranging and the time in which we can discuss it is limited. The subheads go into every avenue of our agricultural economy but I will confine myself to a few points which I want to take up with the Minister. The Minister mentioned the interest in the beef incentive bonus scheme. There is a great demand for this scheme. A great number of people are changing from milk production to beef. Does the Minister consider that there is a danger that the change is too rapid and that too many people will change over from the dairy industry? Last year and the year before, because of the uneconomic price paid for creamery milk, many people went over to beef production. I did not notice the closing date for the scheme advertised this year. Last year [2095] the scheme closed in February and it was extended to the 1st April. This year the scheme closed on the 1st March and participants already in the scheme did not have to apply again. Farmers who were anxious to participate for the first time in the scheme were not aware that the closing date this year was the 1st March. A number of them have told me that they did not see the advertisement in the paper. In view of the number of late applicants for this scheme I would like to know if the closing date was advertised.
I believe too many people are moving over to beef production. Anybody who works in farming knows that dairy farmers have to work seven days a week and when they change from milk production to beef they are changing from near slavery conditions to leisure conditions. I can see a great scarcity of dairy farmers not only in this country but also in Europe. It would be a very bad policy for the farming community in this country to move away from milk production. Two or three years ago there was a surplus of dairy products in Europe but that has almost gone. The same is likely to happen here with the change over to beef production. It would be very unwise, because of the amount of money spent inducing people to go into milk production, if a great number were to go over to beef production.
The Minister also mentioned the land project. His Department have fallen down completely on this. The Minister assured me the other day that there would not be any change in this scheme under EEC conditions. If I read the Mansholt Plan correctly it states that marginal or poor land will not qualify for a grant—that it must be proved when a person is getting a land reclamation grant that the land can be brought into full production. If this is so we could have induced far more farmers to reclaim land and bring it into full production. There are thousands of acres which could be reclaimed and if lime and fertilisers were used on it it could be brought into full production.
The Minister must agree that when [2096] somebody buys a farm that is almost derelict it is wrong to hold that farmer over for almost 12 months before the land project inspector will give the OK to go ahead with the reclamation of the land. This deprives the farmer of a year's income from that farm. The Minister should have a look at this because it is a very important matter.
I now want to refer to agricultural education, which is very important in view of our entry into the EEC. About 80 per cent of our farmers have never gone beyond primary education. This highlights the necessity for a proper educational scheme for farmers' sons and those who are anxious to take up farming. The scheme has not achieved what is set out to achieve. You cannot produce a scheme and impose it on the farming community. The aid of Macra na Feirme should be sought in any agricultural education scheme.
The Minister should ensure that people attending primary schools who intend to take up agriculture as an occupation should have at least a few hours agricultural education each week. You have to orientate young people towards agriculture. It is very necessary to become efficient when farming will become so competitive under EEC conditions. When young people leave primary schools they should be given facilities to attend agricultural courses. I believe the winter classes throughout the country have failed because you have perhaps from 40 to 60 people who begin the course and at least one-quarter of those people do not finish the course. We will have to break the educational programmes down into different skills. Young dairy farmers are not interested in attending classes on horse breeding; because the classes they attend do not relate to practical farming they become bored and no longer attend them. Macra na Feirme have played a very important role in the education of our young farmers. The Department should consult with them as to the best way to provide educational facilities that will benefit the young farmers. If we want to get the maximum potential from the land our farmers should be educated on the proper application of lime and fertilisers [2097] and the proper lay-out of farmyards.
We talk about the high rate of unemployment in this country. This is not relevant to this debate. We never stop to realise that if we could achieve the full potential from the land of this country the amount of employment that would be created in the processing, marketing and transport of this produce would eliminate completely the unemployment problem we have at present. We should aim at getting the maximum production from our land. This would solve our economic ills. The Department and successive Ministers have shown a narrow outlook in so far as achieving the maximum output from our land is concerned. The Minister should look at this from the educational point of view.
We have a subhead dealing with the eradication of bovine TB. This scheme has cost much money. Is the Minister satisfied with its progress? It is a heavy charge on the Exchequer. Has the money been wisely spent? How long will this scheme continue? The Minister has changed the approach. Testing in certain areas should have been introduced long ago. Brucellosis eradication is important also. It has only been treated in a halfhearted way. Last year I said that a situation exists in which there is great carelessness on the part of the powers-that-be in connection with this scheme. Collectors of dead animals are doing a lucrative business. They take the hides off the animals and distribute the carcases throughout the country. The Minister should discuss this point with the county veterinary officers. These animal collectors are responsible for the spread of disease. Brucellosis is rampant at present, especially in the south. There should be some control on the re-distribution of carcase meat sold as dogmeat all over the country.
I want to speak about the county committees of agriculture for which money is provided. I am a member of a county committee of agriculture. I believe these committees and the agricultural advisory service do valuable work. If we examine the future of these committees, if and when we enter [2098] Europe, we will see that it is likely that much of our regional policy within the context of the EEC will be channelled through the county committees and the advisory service. It is necessary to improve and strengthen these services. I welcome the provision of extra money.
There is an increase also in the lime and fertiliser subsidies. This is a good thing. It shows that the farming community realise the value of fertilisers. Fertilisers are used at the time of the year when the farming community have not the inflow of cash necessary to invest in the quantity of fertilisers which the land requires. I dealt with this problem before when speaking on the Bill concerned with the ACC. Sufficient money is not available through the ACC in order to encourage the farming community to apply more fertilisers and lime. Money is also provided for the farm buildings scheme. This is very necessary. On behalf of Fine Gael, I welcome this provision. I should like to see more money invested in agriculture which is our major industry and will always be so. We have natural advantages of climate. There is not enough money invested to bring the maximum results. We have the land and the farmers and we could have more output if there was not such a scarcity of money.
Mr. Murphy: The Supplementary Estimate before us is reasonably limited. No one could quarrel with the requirements in this Vote. I dealt with the main Estimate and I should like to elicit some information on what the future may hold in regard to agriculture. We are told that if and when we enter the EEC, and when people in Brussels are managing Ireland instead of people in Dublin, the farming community will grow rich and prosperous. We are told that the type of money flowing through the Community to agriculture at the present time is such as to lead us to believe that when we join there will be no need for this type of Supplementary Estimate or for injecting so much money into Irish agriculture. I should like to hear the Minister's views on such points. I believe that some fraudulent intent prevails in this country at present in [2099] the Government publications relating to EEC membership and its benefits. I am anxious, as every Deputy should be anxious, to put before the Irish people a factual appraisal of what the position will be. The best way to get that information on agriculture and on other aspects of trade and industry is to get the publications issued by the Commission. I have not yet seen any of the EEC agricultural booklets. Instead of sending out the books which have been published and which give a great deal of information, we have sent out a slanted version. I assume that the reason for this is to add to our case and to get the people to vote "yes" in the referendum. Whether they vote "yes" or "no" is entirely a matter for the people themselves.
An Ceann Comhairle: The Deputy will appreciate that we are having a debate on the EEC——
Mr. Murphy: This is all quite relevant.
An Ceann Comhairle: It is not relevant to the Supplementary Estimate. It is about the EEC. The Deputy is discussing the voting on the EEC, which is a matter for the debate that follows at 4 p.m.
Mr. Murphy: Perhaps I did not make myself clear and am at fault myself. What I was coming to is that we have here provision for grants for farm buildings, land reclamation and other public activities of the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries and I want to know whether it will be possible or necessary to continue such grants if and when we become members of the EEC. In discussing such grants, I think it is quite relevant to project ourselves beyond 31st March, 1972, and try to get some information as to what may happen after that date. This is not an EEC debate but I think it is quite relevant to ask some questions on it. Money is included in this Estimate for different subheads and I was merely repeating a suggestion I made to the Minister some weeks ago that he should send some literature on the agriculture policy of the EEC directly to all the citizens of the [2100] country. All the money in the Estimate comes from public funds provided by general taxation and irrespective of one's avocation everyone pays taxation and is entitled to information.
I have made my point about the EEC question with particular reference to the need to give the facts as set down by the Commission in their literature. We do not want slanted versions. Some of us are not in a position to obtain these books. We have not State finance behind us and cannot go to the Civil Service saying we ought to have a document that would suit our side of the case as the Government can do. We cannot send out leaflets and booklets every other day at public expense. I repeat that we must get both sides of the story and that is not happening at present, certainly in regard to agriculture.
In discussing reclamation and farm buildings. TB eradication and brucellosis eradication, it is, I think, relevant to ask if all these services which are helpful to the farmers are likely to continue if and when we become members of the Community. There seems to be some difference of opinion, as there is a difference of opinion as to whether or not under the Articles of the EEC contributions payable at present, under the agricultural grant to local authorities to offset rates charges on farmers, will be allowed. This question has not been dealt with at any great length by the Minister or any Fianna Fáil members or members of Fine Gael as far as I know. I do not know the answer to the question. I have tried to get it in this House but the answer I got was completely inconclusive. Any answer beginning with the words "It is expected..." is not a definite statement. Seeing that the referendum is to be early in May, I should like the Minister to address himself to this question in answering it here. Possibly this is our last chance to discuss agriculture between now and the date of the proposed referendum, May 10th. Will that type of payment be continued? Will farmers have to pay their own taxation on land or, as is happening at present, will the general body of taxpayers be asked to [2101] come to their aid? The citizens in general should know where they stand. I shall be satisfied if a definite answer is given and if quotations can be given from the relevant sections of the Treaty setting out that such payments can continue if we become full members of the EEC, if the people so determine. I am referring, of course, to what could happen after the transitional period.
An Ceann Comhairle: The Deputy is debating the matter of EEC entry on this Estimate. It does not arise. There is a separate debate on which the points raised by the Deputy would be relevant.
Mr. Murphy: The peculiarity of this Estimate——
An Ceann Comhairle: There is nothing peculiar about the Estimate.
Mr. Murphy: ——is that today is the 22nd March and we are debating an Estimate for the year ending on 31st March. I do not think anything very important will happen or that there will be any great change in agriculture between now and 31st March. It is no harm, within the rules of the House, to avail of opportunities afforded here by the agriculture Estimates to try to elicit information. I have made the question about rates on land quite clear. Are payments to continue under the present regulations for land reclamation and farm buildings or is there a great variation in the Community regulations so that such grants can only be paid within certain limits? It is not for me to define the limits. We must do our homework as best we can and we have no Civil Service at our disposal to research information for us. I should like to make clear to the Chair that my questions are designed only to get information so that the people will have definite knowledge.
My next question is: under EEC regulations are farmers taxed in the same way as other sections of the Community? Are their incomes assessed in the same way as the incomes of publicans, or drapers or grocers? Farmers would be interested in knowing the answer to that question. The Minister [2102] and the Government, having knowledge of the EEC regulations and as a result of their meetings with the EEC representatives, should know the answers. If we become members of the EEC, will the same tax structure continue after the transitional period as now obtains?
An Ceann Comhairle: These are matters for the debate on EEC entry and not for this Supplementary Estimate.
Mr. Murphy: If the Chair will bear with me, this is an agricultural debate. The EEC debate is of a very limited nature. I shall not dwell on the EEC except in so far as agriculture is concerned.
An Ceann Comhairle: It does not arise on any of the subheads of the Supplementary Estimate.
Mr. Murphy: I agree that it would be more appropriate on the EEC debate but the position seems to be that some members who would wish to contribute to that debate may not have an opportunity to do so because of time limitation. My next question is one to which the Minister addressed himself in replying to the debate on the Estimate for his Department. This concerns the direct weekly subventions paid to farmers in the West. On the last occasion I asked the Minister whether these payments would be endangered in any way as a result of joining the EEC. I asked also about the system of assessment that is being used now, that is, land valuation only. The Minister said in reply that in the case of a person being in very poor circumstances his means would be assessed and the result of the assessment would determine whether he would be given unemployment assistance. My question did not refer to assessment on a means test basis but to the system which applies now. I support the land-valuation-only assessment because it does not inhibit a man from progressing, for instance, from buying an extra cow. Under the former method he was so inhibited. I want some information on this matter.
Undoubtedly the farm building [2103] grants are a great help to many farmers and many have improved substantially their outbuildings with the help of these grants. On previous occasions I have mentioned the desirability of extending the grants that are applicable in the pilot areas to the farmers of the 12 western counties who would benefit greatly by them.
The only other point I would raise in this connection is the lack of uniformity in dealing with applications for grants. It is my opinion that a man having, say, only an acre of land should be entitled to these grants. It appears to be the position that in some districts there is no great difficulty in a cottier qualifying for grants, while in other districts a man may be told that because he is not a small farmer, the scheme does not apply to him. There must be uniformity in applying the regulations. The people I have in mind may be cottiers who have only small plots of land, but if they wish to build a wall around their yard or erect a piggery, they should be encouraged to do so. I wish the Minister to make it clear that such persons should qualify for the grant. To illustrate my point, I will mention the case of a cottier on behalf of whom I made representations to the Department with a view to his getting a grant for the erection of a piggery. This person failed to obtain the grant because he was not deemed to be a farmer. When I spoke to him recently he told me that he did not consider there was any point in making further representations and, consequently, he proceeded to build a piggery at his own expense. This man earns about £15 per week and the piggery he is erecting will accommodate about 50 pigs. It is a shame that he should have to bear the full cost of the work. I would like a ruling from the Minister on the operation of the scheme.
As I have said here on many occasions those people in rural Ireland who have an agricultural background but who may not be deriving their livelihood fully from agriculture should qualify for the grants that are available to farmers.
I would like to see an extension of the pilot areas but, of course, such [2104] extension would cost money and the money must come from the pockets of the community. However, I notice from the latest official returns that there is a big increase in income to the Exchequer. For instance, income tax and surtax have brought in an increase of £40 million between the 1st April last year and the 10th March this year. There are increases in revenue from the various other taxes, too. Perhaps some of this extra money could be used to extend grants and also to have the pilot area extended. There has been a justifiable demand for such extension.
In doing that—it has just entered my mind—we would be doing a wrong because we have in other fields of agricultural activity taken away the advantages to the small man set down in our legislation. The Minister has seen fit as a member of the Government party—and I accept the democratic decisions of the elected Government of the country—to ensure that the man with 100 cows would get the same price per gallon for his milk proportionately as the man with one cow. Of course, that used not happen when we were interested in keeping the small people alive and keeping them on the land and in keeping up the numbers of small farmers. We did lean towards them, but that prop has now been withdrawn. Now the small man will have to face Brussels, Bonn, Paris, Rome and all the other big places with which we shall be associated on the same terms as his well-to-do brother, such as the Minister himself.
The subsidy on lime and fertiliser is a reasonably heavy one. I should like to know why people in the Berehaven Peninsula are precluded from taking lime from the mid-Cork quarries. Lime users may see a difference in the product from different lime kilns and I do not see why, if the distance between the districts is not too excessive, they should not be entitled to bring to their holdings the type of lime which they think is better than that from an alternative quarry. The Minister will say that it is we who will have to pay the subsidy or transport costs, but at the same time I have been asked by [2105] farmers in the Berehaven district to seek more freedom of action as to the quarries from which their lime should be purchased.
An Ceann Comhairle: I must now call on the Minister to conclude, according to the agreement of the House.
Mr. Murphy: I just want to inquire about the Island butter subsidy. I understand it was to be in operation on 1st April. I am sorry that my time is so limited because I had a few other items to discuss.
Minister for Agriculture and Fisheries (Mr. J. Gibbons): I thank the Deputies who contributed to this discussion on the Supplementary Estimate, and since the number of contributors was rather limited, I shall begin by talking about Deputy Creed's contribution. He expressed anxiety that there may be a rapid swing in the future, possibly influenced by the beef cattle incentive scheme, from manufacturing milk into the production of beef. I should like to assure him about this. He is probably aware that last year 533 million gallons were delivered to creameries, and this is a record. He is probably also aware that farmers are now buying cows as fast as they can and in as great numbers as they can against the anticipated increases in milk prices that they know are available now. I would expect that in the coming year there would be an increase of at least 50 million gallons on last year's record level of milk production.
Mr. Creed: By a far smaller number of producers.
Mr. J. Gibbons: I have no figures on this, but I do not think it is generally true to say that there is a large fall-off in the number of milk producers. What is certain is that cow numbers, especially the numbers of heifers in-calf show an unprecedented rise, and it is very reasonable to assume that the increase in milk production in the coming year will be not only a record but will go forward by a [2106] bigger jump than it has ever gone before.
Deputy Creed raised the question of the slavery that is traditionally attached to the production of dairy milk. This can be a problem, and like most problems it is capable of solution if it is tackled in the proper way. In this county and in my own as well and here and there throughout the country there are forming milking groups whereby the disagreeable task of Sunday milking is passed around from one farmer to the other, and farmers are allowed a number of free week-ends by arrangements with their neighbours. It need not necessarily be a serious difficulty at all. With the price inducements that are now available and with the better ones that are promised when we are in Europe, these problems will resolve themselves because it will be profitable to resolve them.
Deputy Creed expressed anxiety about the future of the land project, and Deputy Murphy, too, mentioned this and the farm building scheme as well. I am not aware that there is any reason at all why either one scheme or the other should be affected in any way to the detriment of farmers by our entry into the EEC, because they are in general conformity with the plans for farming in the Community itself.
Deputy Creed made some very succinct remarks about the very important question of farm education, a great deal of which I accept, but I think it is worth saying, too, that in the recent past we made some significant progress in the provision of the specialist schools for the training of the young men who will be the farmers of the future. I mentioned in my introductory speech the acquisition of the Kildalton school which will be able to accommodate, I think, speaking from memory, 100 to 120 pupils in horticulture and farming generally, and another farm school was opened by Rockwell as well in the past 12 months.
An Leas-Cheann Comhairle: The Minister appreciates that this Estimate has to be put at 2 o'clock.
[2107]Mr. J. Gibbons: I am sure the House will forgive me if, under the admonition of the Leas-Cheann Comhairle, I start gathering up my notes and simply say that I have listened to the contributions made by the Deputies in the debate and will take note of them.
Mr. Murphy: What about the Island butter subsidy?
Mr. J. Gibbons: I think I replied to a question on that subject fairly recently and I also had representations from Deputy Crowley about it.
An Leas-Cheann Comhairle: Perhaps the Chair should point out at this stage that in the next hour there are 16 Supplementary Estimates to be dealt with and Deputies will, therefore, have to be economical in their contributions.

As we get set to complete yet another regular season, it donned on me yesterday to look back at this masterpiece that Fire defender Dan Gargan captured and put together with the help of MLS videographers Scott Riddell and Albert Lanzillo.
Shot throughout preseason and the team's opening day 1-1 draw at Montreal's nearly sold-out Olympic Stadium, Dan's video showcased the preparation and work the team went through to get to that very monumental game back in March.
Looking back on it now, one of the most striking things is seeing how much the Fire have changed since January as you see a number of faces that are no longer with the club while also being reminded of just how many new faces have been added over the course of the year.
More than that though, this beautiful video reminds me as a fan and a writer of the cautious optimism we all had going into the year. Back then, if you'd have told Fire fans that had experienced the previous two years the team would be playing for second place in the East on the final day of the, everyone would have taken it.
Flash forward to today and that's exactly where we are and yet we know the opportunities were there to go even higher.
Still, today the Fire play arguably the most important game at Toyota Park since the last time the team was in the postseason.
And so, re-watching this inspiring video is special to me for multiple reasons, but the most important is that it serves to remind how far this team has come in the three years I've been here but also the hard work that was put it back in January to get to this point.
Before heading out to Toyota Park today, take 2 minutes and 23 seconds out of your regular pre-game ritual, watch this video, and soak in how far this team has come in 2012.
Campaigns, trash talk and the truth.
During the race for the 2012 MLS Rookie of the Year award there has been a lot of chatter. Who ranks where and what is valued more from fresh-faced rookies - Goals? Assists? Saves? Defense?
Adapting to MLS can be a challenge. It's a long season fraught with ups and downs, the speed of play is accelerated, often as a central defender you are up against a striker with class skills and experience to match.
For Chicago Fire defender Austin Berry it isn't about the rankings or the hoopla, it's about putting in the work needed to help the team.
Berry has made his way onto a Life cereal box.
While there has been PR to support the rookie defender who has started 27 matches for a 17-11-5 Fire team that has only allowed 40 goals in 2012.
The real truth of the matter has been Berry's play. Through his efforts alone, Berry has cut through the clutter, letting his game speak for itself…
Austin #Berry4ROY: THE TRUTH
After two runs to the MLS Cup Final in three seasons, the high-flying Chicago Fire finished the 2001 MLS Regular Season similar to the previous year, winning the Central division and tying for the league's best record (this time with Miami) only to be seeded second, losing on the tiebreaker to the Fusion.
Things might have gone differently if not for Ariel Graziani popping up once again to spoil the day in a match that would end up being the team's last game of the 2001 season.
In that game played September 8 at Soldier Field, the Burn came back from a 2-0 deficit to earn a 2-2 draw with Graziani once again the culprit, scoring the 91st minute equalizer. Had the Fire been victorious in the match, the team would have eventually been awarded its first MLS Supporters Shield.
Alas, three days later everything changed with the September 11 terrorist attacks. With all eight playoff teams known at that point, MLS decided to cancel the remaining regular season games and move to the playoffs roughly nine days later, meaning the Fire would once again face Dallas in an opening round playoff series.
WATCH: 2001: MLS Cup Quarterfinals
#2 Chicago Fire vs. #3 Dallas Burn – MLS Cup quarterfinals (first to five points)
Chicago Fire 2, Dallas Burn 0 (Game 1)
Soldier Field in Chicago, Ill.
September 20, 2001
With the end of the September 8 game and memories of the devastating 1999 playoff defeat to Dallas fresh in their minds, it would be safe to say that the Fire held feelings of revenge in their hearts going up against their Brimstone Cup rivals.
The team would breakthrough just before halftime when Eric Wynalda's free kick from the left picked out Carlos Bocanegra unmarked at the six, leaving the young Fire center back an easy header past Matt Jordon in the 40th minute.
Though the Fire held an 8-3 shots on goal advantage in the match, they weren't able to put the Burn away until very late. Dallas would be awarded a direct free kick deep into stoppage time. Desperately looking for an equalizer, Jordan came all the way up the field to provide numbers but would regret it when Oscar Pareja's take was hit straight into the wall before Peter Nowak intercepted a pass to start the counter attack.
The Fire captain fed a streaking Evan Whitfield in alone up the field and the current Fire color analyst outpaced Dallas defender Justin Evans to tuck the ball away and give the Fire a 2-0 victory in Game 1.
Chicago Fire 1, Dallas Burn 1 (OT) (Game 2)
The Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Texas
September 23, 2001
Back home for Game 2, Dallas would take an early first half lead when Jason Kreis played a forward ball for Bobby Rhine at the top of the area. The Burn forward would find Chad Deering streaking through midfield and played a pinpoint pass into the box that the U.S. international one-timed past Zach Thornton in the 27th minute.
It looked as though Dallas would tie the series up at three points each the Fire had other ideas. In the 84th minute, Peter Nowak penetrated towards the middle of the field before feeding Dema Kovalenko into the box. The Ukrainian fired a quick effort that Matt Jordan did well to save but substitute striker Jamar Beasley was on the doorstep to equalize.
After 10 minutes of extra time, Beasley's goal would stand to send the series back to Chicago with the Fire needing only a draw in Game 3 to advance.
Chicago Fire 2, Dallas Burn 0 (Game 3)
Soldier Field, Chicago, Ill.
September 29, 2001
Back in Chicago for Game 3, there was little doubt the Fire would advance.
In the 17th minute, Peter Nowak's corner from the left was headed down in the area by Evan Whitfield leaving Dema Kovalenko to scrap inside the six, eventually knocking home the go-ahead goal.
Needing only a tie, the Fire would go for the jugular in the second half when Nowak made one of his patented long runs through midfield. The Fire captain entered the box on the left and saw a bit of confusion when his last touch on the ball was a bit heavy, allowing for Chris Armas to bury the second goal in the 55th minute and send the Fire to its third MLS Cup semifinal in four years.
#2 Chicago Fire vs. #3 LA Galaxy – MLS Cup semifinals (first to five)
Chicago Fire 1, LA Galaxy 1 (OT) (Game 1)
Soldier Field, Chicago, Ill.
October 10, 2001
The Fire had already received bitter disappointment from the Galaxy in late August when Alexi Lalas' 94th minute "golden goal" knocked the team out at the semifinal stage.
The home side would take the lead in the 32nd minute when Peter Nowak gallivanted through midfield before sending DaMarcus Beasley down the left flank. The second-year Fire winger crossed to the back post where Eric Wynalda first-timed his effort past Kevin Hartman for the 1-0 lead.
The Galaxy would equalize just before halftime after Chris Armas was judged to have brought down Sasha Victorine at the top of the penalty area. Vaunted Galaxy striker Luis Hernandez saw his spot kick saved by Zach Thornton but buried the rebound to tie the score in the 44th minute.
The Fire would be dealt a blow in the 60th minute when Evan Whitfield was shown a straight red card for pulling down Cobi Jones who was in alone on goal. Despite playing a man down for the final 30 minutes of regulation and 10 more in overtime, the Fire escaped the match with a point in the 1-1 draw.
LA Galaxy 1, Chicago Fire 0 (OT) (Game 2)
Titan Stadium, Fullerton, Calif.
October 13, 2001
The Fire returned to the site where the team fell in U.S. Open Cup semifinals nearly two months before and already without Whitfield due to his one-match suspension, would be dealt another blow when Peter Nowak left the game at halftime with a hamstring strain, ending his participation in the remainder of the team's playoff run.
In eerie similarity to the the August Open Cup match, the game would head to overtime and see another Galaxy winner come in the 94th minute when Peter Vagenas tallied off a Luis Hernandez feed, giving the Galaxy a 4-1 points advantage heading back to Chicago for Game 3.
LA Galaxy 2, Chicago Fire 1 (OT) (Game 3)
Soldier Field, Chicago, Ill.
October 13, 2001
Returning home, the Fire would once again take the early lead at Soldier Field when Chris Armas fed DaMarcus Beasley through in the 30thminute.
Again though, similarities to a previous match between the two sides would reign supreme. This time when the Galaxy's Danny Califf would tally the equalizer in the 44th minute (the same time as Luis Hernandez's penalty put back in Game 1) that would eventually send the match to extra time.
In the overtime period, LA's Mauricio Cienfuegos would tally his second overtime winner of the postseason, finishing off the Fire in the 98th minute and sending the Galaxy to their third MLS Cup appearance.
For the Fire, it would mark the team's first home playoff loss in four seasons.
Last week, the Fire played a team with a newish coach and it's the same with week when the Men in Red travel to Philadelphia to face a Union team headed by interim coach John Hackworth. Philly have had some ups and downs but are a very difficult team to beat on their day. Here are a few tactical things to look out for in Sunday night's game:
Freddy Adu: Jekyll and Hyde
COACH'S TAKE: Matko on Philly
Freddy Adu has a long history of inconsistency. When he is on, he can be one of the best attacking players in MLS but far too often fans haven't seen the best of him. This season has also been a mixed one for Freddy but the past two games in particular, he has failed to show up. He did score a penalty in a 2-1 win over New England but in Montreal last week he was very isolated on the right wing.
Fullback Sheanon Williams failed to get forward to support Adu on the outside and this forced him to constantly play the ball into the middle when he would get it in a wide position. He even switched wings for a time but this didn't help. Under Hackworth, Philadelphia have become an attacking force but last week the wing play of Davy Arnaud and Justin Mapp prevented their outside backs from getting forward.
The Fire should look to mimic that tactic, especially because it limits the support for young Fredua.
New Forward Taking On New Defender?
Last week, Fire Designated Player Sherjill MacDonald replaced Dominic Oduro at halftime and helped the team overturn a 1-0 deficit. MacDonald is getting back to match fitness and Sunday's game could be a good opportunity for him to get his first start.
Oduro has struggled to find the net of late and his speed could be a game changer off the bench. If Philly are in need of a goal, Oduro is the perfect person to bring in because his "freaky fast" pace enhances the Fire's counter attacking ability ten-fold.
Whoever starts up top for the Fire Sunday could be facing a new center back paring for the Union, who may give a first start to former Fire player Bakary Soumare. The Mali international has been rehabbing a knee injury since returning to MLS from Germany side Karlsruher in June but he did play 90 minutes in a reserve game last week and could replace second-year defender Amobi Okugo at the heart of the Union defense.
New partnerships have the potential to be shaky and if Soumare does indeed start, I would look for the Fire to test out the new look back line as early and often as possible.
This, of course can also be achieved through set pieces. Philly have had a major problem this year in that department, giving up the most headed goals in the league. As we saw last week, the Fire and especially rookie-of-the-year candidate Austin Berry are a threat from corners and free kicks and this could be key to unlocking the Union.
Depth: If we need it, it's there
With any team, having strong options off the bench is a massive bonus. It can help the coach to change his tactics but it also increases competition for the first team. After last month's acquisitions, the Fire now have a bench that is not only stronger but has plenty of MLS experience.
Take last Saturday's game for example: the Fire lineup card had names like Dan Gargan, Patrick Nyarko, Daniel Paladini, Alex and Sherjill MacDonald on the sub's list. Soon enough we could be adding Cory Gibbs there.
The team's depth is going to be very important in the push to move as high up in the Conference standings as possible. If things aren't going well on Sunday, coach Klopas has tried and tested players that he can call on, something that could be the difference between one point and three.
Prediction: Chicago Fire 2, Philadelphia Union 0 behind goals from Marco Pappa and Sherjill MacDonald.

The Fire play the Supporters Shield leaders San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday night at Buck Shaw Stadium. Here are a few things to look out for from a tactical standpoint…
COACH'S TAKE: Matko on Quakes
With six more goals scored than any other team in the league this season and two in-form strikers, San Jose just can't stop scoring. That being said, the team's 44 goals eclipse the fact that they have given up 27. Of the teams currently in playoff positions, only New York and the Galaxy have given up more.
Last week's loss to Vancouver exposed one of San Jose's biggest weaknesses which also happens to be one of Fire's greatest strengths: speed. Though Morrow had a good game on the attacking side, he was punished time after time by Dane Richards whose goal came directly from a Morrow error.
On the right hand side, San Jose will be without Beitashour for the first time all season which could pay dividends for the Men in Red. The pace of the Fire's Ghanaian duo of Nyarko and Oduro could cause San Jose some major problems on the outside. Because the outside backs push up so much, there is plenty of room behind them for Oduro to run into. When he does go wide however, it requires the other attack-minded players Rolfe, Alex and Nyarko to get into the box in support.
Wondo and Gordon: Stay Tight
A major reason San Jose is sitting at the top of MLS this season are the goals from Wondolowski (17), Gordon (9) and Lenhart (6). The Quakes don't set up their strikes the traditional way, with one on the shoulder off the last defender looking for flick-ons from the target man. Wondolowski and Gordon/Lenhart are constantly switching positions; dropping back into midfield and drifting wide. The interchanging of positions causes major problems for defenders and is one reason why you see Wondolowski score so many simple goals (think Fire vs. San Jose last season) - even though he is the obvious danger man, his movement makes him so difficult to pick up.
The other reason is that San Jose attack in such great numbers that it allows Wondo to go undetected. It sounds simple to say "stay with your man" or "keep your eye on the man and not the ball" but that's exactly what the Fire need to do.
Using last week's game as an example again, Jay DeMerit didn't let him out of his sight for almost the entire match to great effect. The Fire's defensive performances have been stellar this season we and should expect nothing less from Austin Berry and co on Saturday night.

Meet The Candidates: John Liu for Comptroller
New York, NY —
The crowded field for City Comptroller includes 42-year-old John Liu, who came to New York City when he was five from Taiwan where he was born. He was the first Asian-American elected to the City Council. The Bronx High School of Science graduate has his college degree in mathematical physics. He says his job before being elected to the council as a manager at the global accounting giant Price WaterhouseCoopers was great experience to be City Comptroller.
Democratic voters have two months to decide who they want to succeed outgoing City Comptroller Bill Thompson, and the four leading candidates are working hard to get attention. WNYC's Bob Hennelly has this campaign snapshot of how Councilman Liu is trying to stand out from the pack.
REPORTER: It is another marathon campaign day for the 42-year-old city council member. He.suggests a reporter take a rush hour ride from lower Manhattan to Queens so Liu can make his case.
LIU: We are going to the Flushing town hall where there is a celebration with Comptroller Thompson of southeast Asian American customs and traditions.
REPORTER: The ride is a little tense as Liu's top aides rush to make the event in time. Liu offers them some traffic tips and then shifts gears to make his case for his campaign. As the first Asian American to be elected to the City Council, Liu thinks his personal story is a selling point.
LIU: Believe it or not I would be the first Asian American to hold a citywide office in any major city east of California.
REPORTER: Liu has used his position as chair of the council's Transportation Committee to raise his profile. At heated hearings with the MTA over transit fares and service cuts he has made a point of being thorough and on top of the numbers.
LIU: Before I was elected to the City Council I was a manager at a major financial firm where my professional background was in finance.
REPORTER: And he sees that the economic uncertainty makes the job of city comptroller that much more important. It's the comptroller's job to manage city pension fund investments and audit government agencies.
LIU: The anxiety levels are totally understandable. The New York City pension funds are down from close to a hundred twenty billion dollars at the high point to now about to eighty to eighty five billion dollars.
REPORTER: Liu has won the endorsement of the Working Families Party and District 37, the City's largest public employee union. He says his opposition to Mayor Bloomberg's and Council Speaker Christine Quinn's repeal of term limits has resonated with voters..
LIU: People continue to raise that as an issue that they are absolutely disgusted with what happened with the term limits extension and demand to know where I stood on the issue.
REPORTER: But his critics contend the clarity Liu displayed in fighting the term limits repeal was absent in his approach to controversial transit issues like congestion pricing and bridge tolls. Liu says his perspective on those issues had to evolve as the facts on the ground changed. (nat sound of Queens)
There is a collective sigh of relief as his staffer pulls into the parking lot at the South Asian cultural event. Liu darts out the car and bounds up the stairs in hopes of making an appearance WITH the incumbent Comptroller at his side. But it's not to be.
LIU:..Is it over?...
SOUTHEAST ASIAN ATENDEE: Yes
LIU: Is it finished? How are you?
SECOND SOUTHEAST ASIAN ATTENDEE: Good to see you.
LIU: Is it finished. Are they done upstairs?
SECOND SOUTHEAST ASIAN ATTENDEE: It is finished. We missed you.
LIU: Oh my goodness.
REPORTER: And with that, Liu and his staff dash off to the next event.
For WNYC, I am Bob Hennelly.

COLLEGE PLACE - A delay in the arrival of equipment to repair the heating system at Davis Elementary will force the school to close another day.
Superintendent Tim Payne said Davis students will have to miss school Tuesday following a continued delay in the shipment of a part needed to fix the school's heat exchanger, which works with the building's boiler to heat the school.
Davis students were supposed to return to classes Monday following a week off for parent-teacher conferences and the Thanksgiving holiday. The school's heat malfunctioned the day children got out for vacation. Although the repair parts were ordered early on, problem weather has delayed it's shipment, Payne said.
Payne canceled school for Davis students when it became clear the system would not be up and running in time for the arrival of children. A further delay in the shipment has extended the school cancellation into Tuesday. Students at the district's other schools - Meadow Brook Intermediate and Sager Middle School - returned to school as scheduled.
Payne said he was hopeful the heating repairs would be made and finished on Tuesday, although it was unclear if the part would arrive on time given another winter storm scheduled to hit Monday night.

Doug is an outdoor fanatic and has loved the freedom of exploring ever since his folks taught him to ride a motorcycle at the age of TWO (his dad welded up the custom training wheels!) These days, Doug loves to mountain bike, whitewater canoe, snowshoe, trail run, and cross country ski...but he is especially passionate about backpacking and mountaineering.
His journey to ultralight began when he and a friend took off on a week of the PCT in high school - with behemoth packs of 70 pounds! From there he started cutting weight (and toothbrushes) until discovering Ray Jardine's approaches to the sport 4 years ago. Since then, his packs have trimmed to less than 10 lbs. and he has enjoyed many ultralight trips- especially in Washington, Utah, and Montana.
Doug is also a gear freak (this comes from his dad) and has always loved researching, selecting, and fiddling with gear. When he found Backpackinglight.com he had a major life breakthrough- "There are other people out there that think like me!" This is his favorite site and he is totally stoked to be working with such great people who are as obsessive about gear and the outdoors as he is.

It's vast, daunting, and far from safe. But after moving her family there, Helen Joyce has found that inside this teeming modern city is a village trying to get out
From INTELLIGENT LIFE magazine, September/October 2011
What worried me most about the prospect of moving to São Paulo was its sheer size. My first view of it—at rush hour on a Monday morning, from the back of a cab from the airport—was one endless traffic jam, set to a symphony of beeps from the motor-cyclists weaving their way through the stationary cars. There are 11m people living in São Paulo proper, almost double that in the metropolitan area—and if you lined up the 7m cars its inhabitants own, they would stretch farther than its paved roads. I sat silently stunned at the enormity of what lay ahead of me: the smoggy days stuck in traffic, the appointments missed and interviews cancelled.
Afterwards, though, I realised that São Paulo isn't a big city: it's a small one with millions of people living around it. The movers and shakers live and work in a few central districts. They went to the same schools, joined the same clubs and eat in the same restaurants. It turns out I can walk to most of my meetings. It's rather like working in a gossipy village. Once, a well-known scientist I was talking to mentioned a politician in disparaging terms. The reason? "His children went to the same school as mine, and he always asked such stupid questions at parents' evenings."
Far outside this bubble of privilege is a sprawling periferia, whose residents rely on slow, crowded buses to get to work. They are always tired. Some Paulistanos I have seen sleeping: the entire staff of a sushi restaurant with their heads down on the bar a few minutes before opening time; five municipal workers in orange jumpsuits sprawled in a park on their lunch break; a motorcyclist on an eight-lane highway slumped on his handlebars at a red light—he only awoke when the lights changed because the cars behind him started beeping.
Brazil is one of the world's most unequal countries, and I doubt anywhere else has as many rich people living among poor ones as São Paulo. Super-rich? Mega-rich? Hyper-rich? It's hard to find a prefix that is sufficiently superlative. These people interact with their fellow Paulistanos over shop counters and restaurant menus. But mostly rich and poor are separated by security guards, high walls and bullet-proof cars. You still see jarring contrasts. Last Christmas our local mall, the venerable Shopping Iguatemi, put up at its entrance an enormous animatronic Santa and his trumpet-playing dogs (no, I don't remember them, either). My younger son, four at the time, asked if Santa was going to come alive one night and steal him from his bedroom. My husband, I'm ashamed to say, told him not to worry, our electric fencing would keep Santa out. To which the poor child replied that he might squash one of the homeless people who sleep nearby.
Foreigners used to be well-off here (though nothing like the local rich), and of course, compared with most Brazilians, anyone from the developed world still is. But the currency, the real, is now stronger than it has ever been, and any sort of luxury—dinner out, a new shirt, an air ticket—is eye-wateringly expensive. It would have been fun to live here ten years ago, when the dollar bought nearly three times as much. But it's lucky I didn't—I don't know how I'd be coping now with my reduced circumstances.
Still, São Paulo is a great place to be seeing out the global recession. Brazil's economy is booming, and much of the benefit is being experienced lower down the income scale. My boss, Mike Reid, the editor of The Economist's Americas section, who lived in São Paulo in the late 1990s, says that better diet and greater self-esteem mean that poor Brazilians stand noticeably taller now. One private-equity dealmaker told me his family's maid and nanny have both started to sell cosmetics door-to-door in the evenings. He doesn't think either will still be with him in six months. To hear a Paulistano complaining that you can't get a good maid these days is to be reminded of Bertie Wooster's constant fear that one of his friends would poach Jeeves. São Paulo is in the throes of a full-blown Servant Problem, and I feel privileged to witness it.
People are utterly amazed that we don't have a maid—and it must seem odd if you think, as most Brazilians seem to, that clothes must be washed if you so much as look at them and bedding changed three times a week. I suppose everyone, wherever they are, thinks that their attitude to housework is just right, and everyone else is either fussy or a slob. But I have to face it: by local standards I am a slattern. I once jokingly quoted Quentin Crisp to a Brazilian: "After the first four years, the dust doesn't get any worse." From her revolted look I understood that I might as well have said that I never bothered washing, that after a year or so one's nose shuts down. I still don't dust, but now I keep quiet about it.

Store clerk shot, killed in west Phoenix suburb
GLENDALE, Ariz. — Glendale police said a convenience store employee is dead
after being shot by a customer early Monday morning.
Police are trying to determine whether the shooter is the same man who fired at Department of Public Safety officers on a Tempe freeway later in the morning. That man died of a fatal gunshot.
Details are sketchy but police said 26-year-old Daniel Scott White, an employee, was shot at or near
the store's doorway after an altercation with the unidentified customer.
According to police, the employee had confronted a man as he left the store
after pumping gas into his vehicle and going into the store.
The store is in the area of 99th and Glendale avenues in the vicinity of the
Loop 101 freeway.

The Magliari
1959. Italy/France. Francesco Rosi. 121 min.
Monday, November 4, 2013, 4:00 p.m.
Theater 2 (The Roy and Niuta Titus Theater 2), T2
The Magliari
1959. Italy/France. Directed by Francesco Rosi. Screenplay by Rosi, Suso Cecchi d'Amico. With Alberto Sordi, Belinda Lee, Renato Salvatori. The inimitable Alberto Sordi and Renato Salvatori star in this wonderful rediscovery, which Rosi made two years before his breakthrough Salvatore Giuliano. A neorealist melodrama with comic overtones, I magliari, "centers on emigrés from the Italian South scratching a dishonest living on the fringes of the West German 'economic miracle.' Salvatori plays a door-to-door salesman of shoddy cloth who has an affair with a rich woman (memorably played by Belinda Lee in perhaps her finest performance) but who eventually loses the support of his underworld protector and has to return to Italy and poverty" (ed. John Wakeman, World Film Directors). Preserved by the National Museum of Cinema, Turin. In Italian; English subtitles. 121 min.

The 4th award ceremony took place on November 16, 2007 at Tokyo Main Dining. Separating submissions for the 4th movie festival into 3 genre segments (Fiction, Animation, and Documentary) resulted in 461 submissions from 57 countries worldwide, down from 616 submissions for the 3rd movie festival. However, the quality of the movies submitted were exceptional and the CON-CAN International Jury members had a 3 hour long debate during the internet conference that decided the Grand Prix and Tamashii awards.
Over 100 guests attended the award ceremony, including movie-industry related professionals, sponsors, embassy personnel, press, other prestigious individuals, and staff members. CON-CAN Chairman, Masahiro Yoshino presented the award to the award winners: Rios Guillermo from Spain, director of "Nasja" (Tamashii award winner) and Huang Ying from China, director of "The Pond" (Grand Prix award winner). Unfortunately, due to his movie screening tour at the United States of America, Tamashii award winner Dan Monceaux (Australia), director of "Shift in Perception" was unable to attend.
The award ceremony kicked off with the screening of a video message from Dr. Agnes Chan Miling, ambassador of the Japan Committee for UNICEF. Since December 2007, CON-CAN has been providing 3 movies tri-monthly to be aired on one of Jupiter Telecommunications Co., Ltd. (J:COM - Japan's largest cable television provider) channels. When a movie is purchased by a customer, all proceeds go to the Japan Committee for UNICEF and this collaboration project is known as the "Fund-raising on Demand" project.

PHOENIX (AP) - Authorities say a flight heading to San Diego has been diverted to Phoenix.
FBI Special Agent Perryn T. Collier says an American Airlines flight from Dallas, Texas, en route to San Diego landed Sunday afternoon at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.
Collier did not say what security threat led the flight to land in Phoenix.
American Airlines spokeswoman Michelle Mohr says Flight 362 landed safely shortly before noon and was met by authorities.
Mohr says 179 passengers and six crew members were aboard.
Passengers were still waiting as of mid-afternoon to continue with their travels. Mohr says the airline plans to do their best to re-accommodate travelers and get them to San Diego.
Mohr referred questions about the security issue to the FBI.

Although democrats claim healthcare reform will provide millions of Americans with medical insurance, there is no guarantee that there will be enough doctors to treat the sudden influx of new patients.
Over the past decade the United States has seen the number of students training to become primary care physicians and registered nurses dwindle rapidly, and the recently passed healthcare bill is bound to only exacerbate the issue.
According to the Associated Press (AP), several recently published reports have predicted a shortfall of approximately 400,000 primary care physicians over the next 10 years due to other career paths and medical specialties having better pay, improved hours and a higher profile.
"I think you have a real supply issue," said Fred Earley, the president of Mountain State Blue Cross Blue Shield, quoted by the Charleston Daily Mail.
"I think we have a real concern over whether we have the number of physicians or primary care providers to provide the care for all these additional people that are going to be accessing the health care system," he added.
The federal government has estimated that 65 million people currently reside in areas that are experiencing a shortage of local doctors. In Massachusetts alone, approximately 40 percent of family and general practitioners are not accepting new patients, a record number for the state that is only expected to increase over the next few years.

Cops in Maryland hit a local bar this weekend after receiving a call from someone claiming 16-year-old Justin Bieber was inside boozing -- but what they found ... was a woman who looked just like him.
TMZ spoke with multiple people inside the "Mug and Mallet" bar in Ocean City who confirm that cops entered on Saturday night looking for an underage drinker with a bowl haircut and a tiny frame.
But the only person who fit that description was a 27-year-old woman named Katie.
Katie tells us she had to whip out ... her ID and prove she wasn't JB -- though she says she gets mistaken for the singer, "all the time!"
If only the cops would've checked the real Bieber's Twitter page -- they would have known he was in The Bahamas with Kim Kardashian.
