Pettalia hears opinions on road funding
ALPENA – A crowd gathered at the Alpena County Library Saturday to hear about Michigan's roads and transportation funding proposals at a town hall meeting hosted by Rep. Peter Pettalia, R-Presque Isle.
At the meeting, the first of three held in Northeast Michigan that day, Pettalia was joined by a panel of county road commission directors, local government and road association members, industry experts and Michigan Department of Transportation representatives. They discussed road funding, and fielded questions from the audience about options for putting more money into fixing them.
Among numerous handouts offered to the audience, one had five options for increasing road funding. The first, proposed by Gov. Rick Snyder, calls for raising gasoline taxes and increasing vehicle registration fees by an average of 60 percent. Another calls for increasing the sales tax by 2 percent, devoting the extra revenue to transportation. Others call for various tweaks to sales or fuel taxes, even possibly extending the sales tax to services.
Some members of the audience offered their own solutions, with one saying fuel taxes and other user fees don't work. Another suggested increasing truck registration fees, while others said they believed the state would have more money for road repairs if the Davis-Bacon Act was repealed. Another worried that raising fuel taxes and registration fees would have unintended consequences. As the price of Diesel has risen, so too has the price of groceries, he said.
"My office has taken thousands of calls and emails," Pettalia said. "The least popular idea is raising registration fees."
Whatever the solution, everyone at the meeting agreed something needs to be done. Toward the end, Pettalia did an informal tally, asking the audience if they think the state needs to do something about the roads. Nearly everyone raised their hand.
At the beginning of the meeting, panel members talked about the state of Michigan's roads, and Kelly Bartlett, MDOT director of government affairs, offered a grim assessment of what will happen if nothing changes.
State trunkline road conditions peaked in 2008, when 92 percent of them were in good condition, Bartlett said. Road funding peaked two years earlier, when MDOT was putting $658 million into roads. As the funding has slipped, so have road conditions. Except for 2010, when the state had one-time American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds, Michigan's road funding has gone down every year since 2006. It was down to $471 million in 2012, when only 82 percent of state trunkline roads were in good condition.
If Michigan continues matching federal funding for roads and spending no more, the state's roads will continue to deteriorate, Bartlett said. By 2025, it's projected that less than 40 percent of state trunkline roads will be in good condition, and it'll cost $26 billion to fix them. However, if Michigan were to spend an additional $917 million each year, it could keep up with road repairs, although road conditions would continue to dip within the first several years.
"Even if we get new revenue, the pavement quality is going to get a little bit worse," he said. "We're on a downward slope, and we've got to catch up."
Alpena County Road Commission Executive Director Larry Orcutt was joined by Alcona County Road Commission Manager Jesse Campbell on the meeting panel. Both have the same job, but work in two completely different counties, Campbell said.
While 10 out of 11 Alcona County's townships have road funding millages, only one township in Alpena County has one, Campbell said. Even still, Alcona County Road Commission doesn't have the funding for road repairs as before. Alcona County has lost $250 million in road funding since 2004, and the county can't match township funds like it used to.
"We're losing a battle with our own roads," he said.
Compounding the shrinking funding is the fact that costs are rising, Orcutt said. His department paid $98,000 for a fully outfitted dump truck ten years ago, and will pay around $200,000 for a dump truck this year. The price of materials have risen significantly as well.
"Costs are going up, we can't maintain a system like we have to," he said.
The state collects 19 cents per gallon in fuel taxes, Bartlett said, and while that has been an important source of road funding for about 80 years, it's starting to decline as a revenue source. This is due to the fact that people are driving vehicles with better fuel economies. As an example, he said Ford expects 40 percent of the F-150 pickup trucks it sells this year to be equipped with six-cylinder engines. Four years ago, the same model only came equipped with eight-cylinder engines.
"The reality is, it's not the (Chevrolet) Volt or hybrids, those are a very small percentage," he said. "People are driving more fuel-efficient vehicles."
After the meeting, Pettalia said he appreciated hearing input from the public, and noted the audience seemed very passionate about the topic.
"Most people agree that something needs to be done," he said. "It's not surprising that when I asked if people think the money we're collecting now is being spent wisely, not a lot of hands went up."
Audience member Donna Morton, of Alpena, said she found the town hall meeting "really exciting," and was glad the audience got to have their say. She's never been to a town hall meeting before, but she'll be going to more.
But how does she think the roads should be funded?
"I don't know how to answer that," she said. "I know it's a big responsibility, and a big cost."

Hello VAWG,
Caroline here. Had a show there in the last week of October last year. Met Simone obviously and Martin who made the poster, hi yas and thanks again. (Mirja too if she was the person who asked the - to me still - strange question about whether I'd made the work myself.)
Had intended to get involved earlier this year but what with one thing and another; and, work makes Thursday evening particularly difficult.
Definitely coming to next meeting though, so you can count me as volunteered; and if there's anything I can be doing in the meantime, just let me know.
PS: Wondering how I can change my user name from 'Preoccupation' to 'Little Ithaca' Any ideas?

Hi Tead Off and JackubT,
and thank you for your opinions.
The leakage is not really an issue. It happens after some time: I kept the water in the kettle all night long because in the morning I didn't have time to wait it to soak before putting it on the hotplate.
Previously, I had soaked the kettle in water for 24 hours. Maybe letting it dry a little and resoaking it for a shorter time will reduce the leakage.
By the way, in my opinion, the more porous the clay, the larger the contact surface with the water, the better the taste. Moreover, if the clay is very porous, it may let some of the charcoal aroma to get in and affect the water too.
I agree with JackubT. I am not a puerh fan, but when I tasted it with the water cooked in this kettle the flavour completely changed: no more harsh notes, the tea was sweeter, with much more flavour and a prolonged aftertaste. My tetsubin does not improve the water as much.
I'm curious about trying it with green tea. Let's see what happens.

Freshmen twins peak with County

Michael Benavidez, E, 5-2; 220—Evan Lancelot, PCe, pinned Jacob Omelas, FL, 5:53; Hwt—Jacob Robles, E, dec. Billy Dabney, CM, 3-0.
The Hornets captured the 53rd annual event for the first time in school history, edging two-time defending champion South 148.5-147.5 in the 16-team event at Mel Spence Gymnasium.
Dolores Huerta finished third (130), Lamar fourth (128.5) and Fountain-Fort Carson fifth (125) in the prestigious tournament that gives teams a measuring stick for the upcoming season.
Pueblo County had four champions — including three Willits brothers and Chris Sandoval. Freshmen twins Grant and Hunter Willits won their weight classes at 113 pounds and 132 pounds, while their senior brother Keenan captured the 160-pound weight class. Sandoval, also a freshman, won at 120 pounds.
County's Justin Davis lost to Christian Guerrero of Dolores Huerta in the 126-pound championship match.
"From my knowledge, I don't think Pueblo County has ever won this tournament," Pueblo County fifth-year coach Ed Soto said. "It's been many years since we've even had a finalist. What it comes down to, we had our little hammer freshmen come through. Especially at 120 for Sandoval, who was in a tough bracket. Another key one was Hunter (Willits), who pinned his man in his weight class.
"This was their first major test to see where they are at. For them to step up to the challenge and get it done was pretty remarkable. For those guys to come in as freshmen with all the pressure on their shoulders and perform the way they did was tremendous."
Dolores Huerta had three champions, with Guerrero leading the way at 126 and Jared Mestas (138) and Julian Gallegos (170) following suit.
South's Austin Zuniga won the 145-pound bracket, while Central's Evan Lancelot was the 220-pound champion and East's Jacob Robles ruled in the 285-bracket.
But the night belonged to the Willits brothers and the Hornets.
"I didn't know any guys in my weight," said Grant Willits, who admitted he's going to go down to 106 as the season unwinds. "I just wrestled the best I could.
"I'm just hoping to have an undefeated season and be a four-time state champion."
Hunter has similar expectations.
"It's not a surprise to me that we all won," said Hunter, who has been wrestling with his brother since they were 4 years old. "We've been around the country wrestling, so we take this as just another tournament."
"I'm having a lot of fun wrestling with my brothers," said Keenan Willits, who finished fourth at state a year ago at 152.
The Willits trio and Sandoval are undefeated thus far this season.

Benefits Trends for 2013: What You Need to Know
CHICAGO ( TheStreet) -- Employee benefit packages vary as much as the companies offering them. But any small business that wants to attract and retain productive workers needs to be familiar with the most common benefit trends. Offer nothing but a bare-bones package and you may have trouble filling job openings with qualified candidates; offering up too many extras may be financially unsustainable over the long run.
Over the past few years, the general trend in benefits was to squeeze out any and all possible savings. But as fears of another recession have lifted, companies across the country are gradually re-investing in their human capital.
Recently, the Society for Human Resource Management published its 2013 HR Benchmarks Trendbook , which gives an overview of how U.S. companies are spending on benefits while highlighting impending changes in the human-resources landscape. While some of the content is geared toward large corporations (such as the section on relocation services), much of the information can be used by small businesses to determine if they are competitive as employers.
Here are the top four human-resources-related issues to keep an eye on in the year ahead:
1. Salaries
For the average U.S. company, salaries make up about 40% of operating expenses, regardless of the size of the business. The average compensation for private-sector employees was $30 per hour last year; benefits other than salary accounted for 30% of the total.
But the biggest trend in compensation isn't reflected in such averages. More and more companies are moving toward differentiation rather than set salary scales, with how much an employee makes directly tied to their productivity. Now that many businesses are easing off the salary freezes common in 2009 and 2010, the question of who gets a raise and how much is being debated carefully.
According to the report, companies that are upping salaries gave a meager 1% to low-performing employees last year. By contrast, above-average performers were rewarded with raises of 4-5%.
2. Recognition plans
About 75% of U.S. companies have some form of employee-recognition plan in place, although the percentage is highest in large corporations. Only about 15% of companies track the return on investment of those programs, though, which means the majority of U.S. businesses don't know if the rewards they offer help or hurt the bottom line.
Recognition programs can be large-scale (such as end-of-year bonuses based on specific performance metrics) or more ad hoc (for example, handing out gift cards to employees who stay late to finish a project). No matter what kind of plan is in place, the biggest trend for employers is to follow up on the results: Is there less turnover among employees who get bonuses? Did the company picnic lead to stronger bonds between co-workers? What kinds of rewards or events produce the biggest benefit at the most affordable cost?

The Speaker
My colleagues, it is my duty to inform the House that a vacancy has occurred in the representation, namely, Ms. Copps, member for the electoral district of Hamilton East, by resignation effective May 1, 1996.
Pursuant to paragraph 25(1)(b) of the Parliament of Canada Act, I have addressed a warrant to the Chief Electoral Officer today for the issue of a writ for the election of a member to fill this vacancy.
Missing Children
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Dianne Brushett Cumberland—Colchester, NS
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise in the House today in honour of Child Find's Green Ribbon of Hope month.
Thousands of children go missing in Canada every year. Each time a child is abducted, a family and a community is devastated. They suffer a loss that is unbearable. Together they hope and pray for the child's safe return. The reality is that many children are never found and many others lose their lives to their abductors.
Our children must be protected. It is the responsibility of this government and indeed of all Canadians to guarantee that protection.
Members of this House can help Child Find in its search by printing pictures of missing children in their householders and by supporting recent initiatives to have missing children posters displayed in our government buildings.
Today I encourage all hon. members to wear the green ribbon of hope throughout the month of May to raise awareness and support for this very urgent cause, our missing children.
International Day Of The Worker

Osvaldo Nunez Bourassa, QC
Mr. Speaker, on this May Day, I wish to pay tribute to all workers in Quebec and Canada.
Thousands of people are taking this day to demonstrate publicly their dissatisfaction with the federal government and to condemn the antisocial measures, especially the unemployment insurance reform, advocated by this government, as well as the lack of a real job creation policy.
For over a century, workers have gathered together on May 1 to commemorate the Chicago martyrs who fought for better living and working conditions.
The Bloc Quebecois wishes workers in Quebec, Canada and other countries a good workers day. We support their fight for justice, equity, dignity and solidarity.
Human Rights
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Bob Ringma Nanaimo—Cowichan, BC
Mr. Speaker, the plain and simple truth is that I made a mistake. The comments attributed to me regarding minority employees are neither a reflection of my personal views nor of Reform Party policy. They were hypothetical answers to hypothetical questions posed by reporters and they were the wrong answers.
I do believe all Canadians are equal and should be treated fairly without regard to race, religion, language, culture, sexual orientation or any other characteristic. Human rights are paramount. I
would never fire or discipline an employee based on anything other than his or her performance. This is the point I was trying to get across in the interview.
Having discussed this with my colleagues in caucus, I realize that nothing less than an unequivocal apology to everyone is in order. That is what I am saying. I apologize without reservation for the statements made and for any hurt they may have caused any person or group.
Credit Cards
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Gilles Bernier Beauce, QC
Mr. Speaker, I want to talk about "shylocking" or usurious lending rates. I must keep on condemning the outrageous interest rates charged by the banks and by some companies on credit card balances.
According to an Industry Canada report, the interest rates charged on credit card balances exceed the bank rate by 12 percentage points.
The government has a duty to legislate to prevent these abuses and protect consumers. The government is currently turning a blind eye to this legalized "shylocking". The time has come to end this nearly scandalous exploitation.

Sarkis Assadourian Don Valley North, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise in the House today to draw attention to the commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the discovery of insulin by the team of Canadian researchers Banting, Best, Macleod and Collip.
The discovery of insulin ranks as one of the medical world's greatest achievements. Previous to the discovery of insulin in the summer of 1921, hundreds of thousands of sufferers of diabetes faced almost certain death from the disease.
Insulin however is not a cure for diabetes but rather only an effective treatment for a disease that affects over 1.5 million Canadians annually.
Research into the cure of diabetes continues. I urge all Canadians to support the work of the Canadian Diabetes Association and give generously to this cause.
International Day Of The Worker
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Bob Nault Kenora—Rainy River, ON
Mr. Speaker, as a trade unionist myself, it gives me great pleasure to rise on this the day we celebrate the International Day of the Worker. On this occasion we should think about the situation facing working men and women on the verge of the 21st century.
Production methods and changes in the workplace present Canadian workers and governments with new challenges but also with new opportunities.
As a federal government, our role is to ensure that Canadian men and women have the opportunity to find meaningful, satisfying work and contribute to society. Through initiatives like employment insurance and our youth task force, we are meeting that challenge.
I am sure all members of this House join me in recognizing the contributions made to Canada every day by working men and women in a countless number of occupations.

Mr. Speaker, a seminar on Cyprus is being held today on Parliament Hill by the international committee seeking justice for that country.
On behalf of the Canada-Cyprus parliamentary committee, I wish to welcome His Excellency the Canadian High Commissioner to Cyprus, Andreas Iacovides, and all the other people attending the seminar.
Today's event is just another example of the continued efforts of PSEKA to see that the Cyprus issue is not forgotten. I commend it and the Hellenic-Canadian Solidarity Committee for Cyprus for their continued efforts.
I invite all members of this House to attend this important conference. It is my hope that Canada through our Minister of Foreign Affairs will play a leadership role in restoring peace to this island after 22 years.
Unemployment Insurance Reform

Gilbert Fillion Chicoutimi, QC
Mr. Speaker, on Saturday May 4, every resident of the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region is invited to participate in a solidarity rally. This general mobilization was called for by the regional coalition against the unemployment insurance reform.
According to Michel Desbiens, of the diocesan pastoral board: "The goal is clearly to give the public a chance to express, loud and clear, its disapproval of this reform, which is once again geared toward impoverishing a great many people who would be only too pleased to work. Knowing how precarious the situation of the unemployed in our region is, we can only be outraged by the oppressive and discriminatory measures the federal government
wants to put in place. The people must be able to vent their legitimate anger, and the only peaceful means remaining is a public demonstration".

Garry Breitkreuz Yorkton—Melville, SK
Mr. Speaker, in a democracy the rules of governance must be controlled by the governed and not dictated by the governors. These fundamental principles, integral in the very foundations of a democratic society, are being denied to the first peoples of this land.
First Nations people are being downtrodden, bankrupted and oppressed under elitist power structures sanctioned and financed by the Government of Canada. With the full knowledge of and condoned by Indian affairs, irresponsible self-serving native leaders are diverting, mismanaging and misusing funds earmarked and allocated to fulfil treaty obligations.
This unconscionable state of affairs has become epidemic in Indian country with honest accountable native leaders being notable exceptions instead of the rule. The concerns and grievances of the general membership of First Nations must be investigated thoroughly and resolved accordingly before discussions on native self-government proceed any further. To do otherwise would result in fascist states disguised as native self-government.
This from Leonard Iron, a Cree of the Canoe Lake Band and president of the First Nations Coalition for Accountability, who I am pleased to represent.

Audrey McLaughlin Yukon, YT
Mr. Speaker, recently a bomb was sent to a Jewish community centre in Calgary, a gay man was beaten in a park, a First Nations person was denied lodging, and a woman was denied a promotion because she is a woman. Racism, sexism and homophobia are not the issues of the dark past. For too many people they are everyday experiences.
As parliamentarians we have a special responsibility to show leadership in building a society founded on equal respect for every Canadian. Extremism gives legitimacy to those who would justify racism, sexism and homophobia for reasons of profit or simply to deny others equal rights and respect.
If we as parliamentarians do not demonstrate leadership on this issue, we have failed our country and our democracy.
Today the Reform Party deputy leader has said she is committed to fighting intolerance. I therefore challenge the Reform Party to vote for the amendment to the human rights act on sexual orientation, not just to apologize, but to show real action.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Denis Paradis Brome—Missisquoi, QC
Mr. Speaker, on this day, a century ago, Canada was in the middle of an election campaign. On May 1, 1896, Wilfrid Laurier was campaigning to become the first French Canadian Prime Minister from Quebec.
And what a campaign it was. Everywhere he went, he attracted flocks of people, unleashing their enthusiasm.
Laurier used to say: "I am of French origin and proud to be; knowing my Anglo-Saxon fellow citizens as well as I do, I have no doubt that, were my heart not filled with pride for my origin, they would just look down on me with scorn, and I would deserve it". And he added: "I have no intention of losing sight of my origin but I am, first and foremost, a Canadian".
That said, I tip my hat to Sheila Copps for her courage; she has not lost sight of her origins either and she is, first and foremost, a great Canadian.
National Unity
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Nick Discepola Vaudreuil, QC
Mr. Speaker, last Friday the member for Nanaimo-Cowichan called upon me to table with him a petition presented to him by residents of the Hudson area of my riding.
Last Monday I met with the same concerned citizens of Hudson. Their message was also very clear. They fear for their future. They expect all those who share their concerns to put their political differences aside and join efforts to ensure that Quebecers are all made to feel at home anywhere in Canada. Their concern is Canadian unity and not partisan politics.
The member stated that Reformers stand solidly behind the constituents in my riding who express clearly their desire to remain Canadian. The time for grandstanding is now over. I challenge the member to reverse his vote of December 13, 1995 and to now support the initiatives of the government to recognize the distinct character of Quebec which he and his party have voted against.
Only then will the member for Nanaimo-Cowichan earn my respect and that of the constituents of Vaudreuil. Only then will he clearly demonstrate his commitment to working hand in hand with the federal government for the greater cause of Canadian unity.

Leon Benoit Vegreville, AB
Mr. Speaker, I take this opportunity to make it clear to all Canadians what my personal belief is and what the position of the Reform Party is regarding the treatment of all Canadians, including minority groups. I strongly believe in the principle of equality for all people and deplore discrimination for any reason.
The very first statement in the Reform blue book is a statement of principle which reads: "We affirm commitment to Canada as a balanced federation of equal provinces and citizens".

Fatal crash in Watford City area
Reminding people of God's presence
She's there for families in times of crisis at the hospital, ready to lend a listening ear, offer a prayer or in some other way give hope. In any way she can, she will try to give a reminder of God's presence. Jessica Zolondek, hospital and hospice chaplain for Trinity Health, is that person who is there when spiritual help is needed.
Zolondek, who is actually one of three chaplains at Trinity, has been in the chaplain business for six years. She grew up in central Florida, went to school at the University of Florida in Gainesville and then on to Columbia Theological Seminary, an institution affiliated with the Presbyterian Church, in Decatur, Ga. When Zolondek finished her degree at the seminary, she took a job in Buffalo, N.D., met her husband and then they both moved to Minot a short time later. Trinity Health hired her as a chaplain.
Zolondek said she has been in North Dakota longer than she thought she would but has no plans of moving anywhere and likes Minot.
"But I'll go wherever God tells me," she added. "I have learned not to make plans because then God laughs at me."
Being a chaplain for the hospital consists of wearing a variety of hats. As a chaplain, Zolondek said, she responds to all traumas, all deaths, all code blues, provides prayer and support, facilitates advanced directives, offers community education and leads worship services. Additionally, Zolondek said she listens to fifth steps for people in recovery, which is a moral inventory involving humbling yourself before someone else as part of the healing process.
"Those are the main components," she noted about being a chaplain, "but you never know what you'll be doing in the course of a day. Most people associate us with crisis, but we do a lot of other things, too."
Zolondek said she became interested in chaplaincy because she has always had a leaning toward spirituality and helping people.
"In my late 20s, I decided to go to seminary, and God opened doors for me. I've always been a good listener so it (chaplaincy) seemed like a good line of work for me," she said.
As a hospital chaplain, Zolondek said she has the opportunity to see a variety of human life, and that's one of the things she enjoys about her line of work. People open up to you in ways you don't expect, and there's a freedom in being a chaplain that you don't get in being a pastor, she added.
"You see an opening in spirituality in peoples' lives when they're in a crisis," Zolondek said. "You also see a different side of people in a crisis. You see them at their best and at their worst. That's part of what's interesting about it."
Zolondek feels it's her calling to be a hospital chaplain, and that's what keeps her coming back to work each day.
"I don't know what else I would do," she said. "I've tried other things and I keep coming back to this."
However, there is also some difficulty in Zolondek's line of work.
"Seeing so much suffering day in and day out," is difficult, she said, as is feeling helpless in the middle of so much pain.
There are also many rewards that come along with chaplain life. It's rewarding to know that people feel safe with her when expressing what is deep in their hearts.
"Sometimes people will come up to me in the grocery store and hug me," she added. Zolondek said it's also rewarding to pray with people and see the healing in them that will come through prayer. Sitting with people in that time of transition from life to death is rewarding as well, she continued, but it's not sad because it feels like the natural circle of life.
"I get the chance to sit with them in their holy moments and when people feel at peace before they go. It's very rewarding."
As a note, when meeting with a non-believer who is in that time of transition, Zolondek said you go where they are and never impose your beliefs on them.
The presence and availability of a hospital chaplain is important to Zolondek.
"When people are suffering, they need a reminder of God's presence. We offer listening and support. Listening and prayer have a very healing effect, and they're essential in a holistic approach to healing, too," she said.

Bach, recovering from crash, returns to 'Seagull'
SEATTLE - Richard Bach has returned to his famous novella "Jonathan Livingston Seagull" as he recovers from a near-fatal plane crash in Washington state.
The 76-year-old author tells The Seattle Times that the book originally had four parts -- not the three that were published in 1970 in what became an international best-seller.
But after four months in a Seattle hospital with massive brain, chest and spine injuries, Bach finished the fourth part and sent it off to his publisher a few weeks ago. In the new section, the flock struggles to find meaning. They first worship Jonathan, then write him off as a myth before he returns.
He credits his wife, 42-year-old Sabryna Bach, with supporting and inspiring him during his recovery.
Bach was piloting a single-engine aircraft that clipped power lines and crashed on San Juan Island last August.

About the Author: William E. Kennard serves as U.S. Ambassador to the European Union.
On October 14, I had the honor of accompanying Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on a half-day marathon of meetings and events with the European Union. The Secretary's day began early with an interview with ABC's "Good Morning America," which broadcast a segment of the popular show live from Brussels. It's great to know that our friends and families in the U.S. will get a glimpse into the work we do here with the European Union.
The Secretary had a full schedule, and we were quickly off to the European Commission, home of Commission Vice President and High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Catherine Ashton. The two foreign affairs leaders have met several times before, and the meeting provided an opportunity for them to update one another on a range of issues, including Secretary Clinton's trip to the Balkans and High Representative Ashton's visit to the Middle East. Following this meeting, both leaders made brief public statements to the international press corps about the relief effort in the wake of the disastrous floods in Pakistan. They also gave a joint television interview to the BBC's "The Record Europe" with anchor Shirin Wheeler. During the interview, I was struck by the terrific working relationship they have developed, which is clearly based on a warm personal rapport and shared common goals.
Saying goodbye to Cathy Ashton, we crossed the street to the headquarters of the European Council Secretariat, where I was pleased to introduce Secretary Clinton to President Herman Van Rompuy. I have been particularly impressed by the President's thoughtful and analytical approach to leadership since he took office in December 2009 as the first fulltime President of the European Council. Following introductions, the Secretary and President dove into a strategic discussion on an array of global issues.
Our final destination was the European Parliament. President Jerzy Buzek graciously hosted a coffee for the Secretary with the leaders of the eight political groups in Parliament. This was Secretary Clinton's second time at Parliament; she also met recently with President Buzek during his visit to Washington. The Lisbon Treaty, implemented late last year, created the positions now held by Cathy Ashton and Herman Van Rompuy and also gave significant new powers to the Parliament. As a result we are working hard to deepen our relationship with these new leaders and the Parliament.
The Secretary's visit was an important opportunity for us to engage with the European Union. It may sound like a long day for the Secretary, but it was not yet even noon when she took her leave from our European Union friends to travel across town to NATO for a Ministerial Conference. I am continually impressed by her energy and passion!

G Monkie Latest Music Infection | The Duke Spirit
Posted By G Monkie On February 13, 2009 @ 10:28 am In G Living,Pop Culture / Celebrities | No Comments
I don't know what my life would be like without the presence of music. For me music is what keeps me going, it seems to some how make everything new again. For me music is the pure energy that drives me to see things a new and enables me to imagine what can be.
Some of the most powerful music which has shaped my life was created by such bands as The Clash, Radiohead, Depeche Mode, U2, Elliott Smith, Eurythmics (the 1984 Album), Nine Inch Nails, Madonna, Morrissey, New Order, Tears for Fears, Pearl Jam and Nirvana, to just name a few. All of these bands have created music which deeply changed how I feel about my inner world. In many ways the music has shaped me and made me a darker and cooler monkie.
So for me, discovering new music which somehow spreads a pleasurable infection throughout my brain, is very exciting. So much so, that I always feel compelled to pass on the infection as quickly as possible. Most of the time, I would simply focus on torturing the office monkies, by becoming the office music dictator. Playing nothing but the latest g monkie soundtrack again and again and again, for days, until I see trademark signs of the soft blue brain, swaying of the head, and tapping of the legs. All clear signs of an infected monkie brain.
But as of late, with the world crumbling around all our feet, there isn't really that many Monkie brains in the office to expose. I am left with with the feeble attempts to blue the brains of who ever comes to the door, and that includes those hard to trap UPS and FedEx guys. So now what? Who's brains can I soften and blue up with the music of the Monkie? Hmm, how about your monkie brain! Well, I mean yours' and the millions other brains which some how find their way to gliving.com. Which may or may not be monkie brains I admit, but with that many possible monkie brains focused on the words, sounds and visuals being generated by The G Living Monkies, I am bound to soften and blue the brains of one or two of you out there. Right?
So to that end, I want to expose your brain to my latest discovery, The Duke Spirit . I have to admit, I may be a bit late to this discovery and many of you might already know this band and may even have seen them live. I was some how left out and wasn't infected by them until my eyes and ears locked on to the song, The Step and The Walk, which is on the album Neptune. The video for the song is what caught my attention with it's mono toned blurry visuals, rhythmic pounding pace and the energy pouring off lead singer, with her crystal clear eyes and dramatic looks.
The Step and The Walk has a spirit and soul of a modern day danceable version of the Doors song, Light My Fire. Okay, a much better version but still you can feel throughout all of Duke Spirit's music a bit of that sixties formula which creates a distinct sound. I think the sixties influence even crosses over to the visuals of the band it self. In the videos they all dress is a unifying uniform of all black, which leaves the focus on the lead singer who jumps out in front with her light skin, blonde hair and dark minimal styled eye makeup.
So the video visuals grabbed my attention, but the music is what infected my brain. As soon as I was exposed, I knew I had to have this album. I rushed over to iTunes, to purchased the album, which is called Neptune. The album is a collection of 12 songs and included the video for The Step and The Walk. I followed that up a few weeks later by buying their first album, Cuts Across the Land, which was released in 2006. Both albums are now in heavy rotation on the G Monkie personal life soundtrack and I don't see coming off it anytime soon.
I am attaching two of their videos. The one just below, is a new just released video for the song My Sunken Treasure, a song also on the Album Neptune and the video at the top of the blog is the video which started it all for me, The Step and The Walk.
Let me know what you think of them, and please if you are hiding any amazing bands in your closet, let me know! I am always on the look out for some much needed soul energizing.
Wikipedia Details on The Duke Spirit
The Duke Spirit are an English rock band, with an affinity to the sound of early noise rock and grunge bands of the late 1980s and early 1990s such as My Bloody Valentine, Sonic Youth and the Pixies (a band The Duke Spirit has covered live) and also displays a primal take on Rock and roll, blues and soul music, allying them to groups such as The Gun Club, Spiritualized, The Cramps and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.
Liela Moss – vocals, tambourine, harmonica, piano
Luke Ford – guitar, backing vocals, farfisa
Dan Higgins – guitar, backing vocals, autoharp
Toby Butler – bass, backing vocals, guitar
Olly 'The Kid' Betts – drums, glockenspiel, percussion,piano, backing vocals
The band formed from the meeting of Moss and Ford at an art college in Cheltenham, where they were studying painting and photography, respectively. They moved to London together and began writing songs. After a short time they convinced mutual friend Butler to join the band, and they began to perform under the moniker Solomon. During this period they shared a flat with various other people trying to make it in their various facets of media. One of their flatmates, Higgins (he designed all their sleeves for Cuts Across the Land and resulting singles) turned out to be a guitar player looking for similarly minded musicians. After a chance meeting with drummer Betts, who was at the time studying at Drumtech in London, the band developed as a complete unit with a new name, The Duke Spirit by early 2003.
The band released their first single "Darling You're Mean" in May and played their first gig at the Brixton Windmill later that year. Later that year, the label released the "Roll, Spirit, Roll" EP, which won the band critical acclaim from publications such as NME. The band's debut album was due to be released in September 2004 until their record label, City Rockers, ran out of financial steam in the early 2004. They moved over to Loog Records/Polydor and released the album in the UK on 16 May 2005. After headlining the TMF Rock Festival (now known as Offset festival) in the UK, the album was released in the U.S. and the band found themselves touring through America for much of 2006, including a highly praised[citation needed] performance at the Coachella 2006 festival, California. The only release of 2006 was a downloadable EP and limited 7″ single entitled, "Covered In Love", (released through Velo Recordings). This was a collection of songs, recorded to 8-track by the band, written by the recently deceased (Arthur Lee, Desmond Dekker and Jessie Mae Hemphill). In early 2007 the band signed to You Are Here a new independent Anglo-Canadian label. The track "Mayday", a collaboration between UNKLE and The Duke Spirit was released on the latest UNKLE album, War Stories, in the UK on 9 July 2007. The track was recorded with Chris Goss at the Rancho De La Luna studio in Joshua Tree, California in May 2006. The Duke Spirit returned to work in the same studio with Goss in April 2007 to record their own second album, Neptune, which was released in February 2008.

Bold and biblical. Thanks for posting that encouraging excerpt, GTY. My pastor reminded his congregation last week that God is graciously ripping away our idols—those vain, hopeless things like moral majorities to which we so tightly cling. And today at lunch, he commended John MacArthur for being one of the most faithful and consistent preachers in America. May your tribe increase, pastor John.
Travis, Will, Jeremiah, Fred, keep up the excellent work on the GTY blog. I miss you guys.

So encouraging to read your sermon about elections and so forth. I totally agree and feel so refreshed to read that there are still pastors out there preaching the truth. Thank you so much for being faithful. I have listened to you over the last 50 years, beginning by attending a seminar you taught in Phoenix in the 60's. You have not been compromising on any of the issues facing our society today. God Bless!
I have noticed a sharpened hostility toward anything pertaining to God. It's as if no one wants to hear the truth anymore, repulsed and immediately turned off by anything associated with morality. I was not surprised by the Presidents win, but I am surprised at how fast everything is sliding downward. I didn't think it would come so soon. The passing of gay marriage in more states, legalization of marijuana, etc. They are now talking about marijuana tours. It has become so weird. I will be living in either New York or California next year for school, and coming from Texas, the so called bible belt, I am concerned about the hostility I will face when trying to tell people about the gospel, It's hard enough here, I can just imagine elsewhere. I am afraid of being an outcast away from home. The world just seems so hostile, and it can be a bit lonely at times, when you cannot find people who know and love God and the truth. But I guess it serves as a reminder that this world is not my home. Thank God for pastors like John, I find comfort in the word of God, listening to sermons he preached years before I was born, I am so grateful for his dedication to the truth. His congregation is blessed to have him as a leader, one day I hope to visit and worship with a group of wonderful believers. God bless you all.
Hello everyone and please keep me in your prayers - see yesterdays blog posts for specifics.
I knew that pastor John would hit the nail on the head. The phrase I have often heard him use "the darker the night, then the brighter the Light" is so true and also very comforting.
The Word has spoken and we can take comfort found in Romans 5:19-21 and in verse 20 it confirms what Pastor MacArthur referred to about the darkness (evil/sin) and the (light/grace of God) and this is quoted from the NAS: "The Law came in so that the transgression would increase ; but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, and verse 20 (NAS) adds this great truth that should settle all of our anxieties (easier said than done) - verse 21 "so that, as sin reigned in death, even so grace would reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. "
I want to thank those who have and continue to pray for me and my family as I continue in God's word to overcome the anxieties/depression that I suffer and the impact on my Christian testimony, my godly wife and wonderful children.
I do not want to bring reproach on the Lord by allowing anxieties from chronic pain, meds, and OCD to rule, but rather forgive myself and look at what I can do as opposed to what I can no longer do. For the Lord is gracious and He has a purpose for all this and therefore I must trust Him fully and pray that I live by the words to which I have spoken before all of you - please pray.
Final thought which I mentioned yesterday or the day before; we need to give as the Lord puts on our hearts to do so, but be diligent about who is truly reaching people for Christ. Some of you may not be aware of this, but you can give to support GTY and now my children are learning how to discern and are desiring to give from their hearts as I always remind them that you should only give with a cheerful heart out of the Love that flows for Christ and the lost. To see a person as a soul that is either lost or rejoice in one that is saved, but not to look at the evil so much.
When you see people as souls, regardless of their demeanor, then you are set free to love even when they hate. That is cause for rejoicing and help relieve the anxiety caused by the evil we see that surrounds our everyday lives.
Again I plead with God's people to continue to pray for me; I want God to continually reign in my words, thoughts and actions and not pain and anxiety, which only leads to a poor Christian testimony.
Thank you and thank you administrators for your work and may God richly bless you in all things, both great and small! Thanks!
The failure of government(s) worldwide sends a very strong message-- by God Himself: that only one King rules and can rule judiciously and righteously. When all the props of human ingenuity, resourcefulness, and wisdom fall like dominoes around us, and when all our footholds become like sand beneath our feet-- people, hopefully, will look for hope where hope resides. And Jesus is more than just a pillar or a prop; He is eternal life itself. "And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent (John 17:3)." ´
These are wonderful thoughts by John MacArthur as usual. I love this blog!!!
As I mentioned to you on Sunday morning, I was looking for some encouragement after a depressing Tuesday night. You provided it by causing me to refocus on the mission. As you said in the book, government can't save, only Jesus Christ--one heart at a time. Thanks for another convicting reminder of the necessity of sharing the Gospel. May God continue to richly bless the ministry of Grace Community Church as He builds His kingdom.
Thanks Pastor John, for always giving us the truth of God's Word, no matter what.
John MacArthur is right again. I am one of those Christians who has given up on donating to conservative politicians because it is obvious that the USA is not going back to sanity, it has explicitly voted to increase the insanity of the last four years, in all directions. MacArthur's message is great in that it includes the quote about voters voting for their own freebies from the public treasury. I did not realize that this was part of the Fallen nature of mankind, but I should have. Those who reject the wisdom of God love death, even their own self-destruction. We are Christians first, Americans second, whether we live in a free country or in a communist country that kills Christians. Let God sort us out for His glory, amen!
Thanks Pastor MacArthur!!! As the bible says in the end times, God gives them over to degrading thinking and behaviors...As Romans 1:24-32 says...And notice in verse 32 ...That they give others a hearty approval ...As our country votes, you can see who they want ...A President, like Barack Obama, who is for abortion, gay marriage, immoral livimg, and goverment hand outs. I myself was very discouraged about this Election...But I realized God's advancement of His Kingdom is something to keep reminding us to look forward to!
Amen, brother. The solutions to America's problems begin at the pulpit. There is no amount of political reform or legislation that can solve the problem of a sinful heart. America made its mind long ago to forgo the principles in which it was founded. As we get rid of prayer in schools, tear down crosses and ten commandments from public places, exalt sexuality, promote sinful views of family, marriage, and life, and indulge, support, and appease anti-Biblical religions, God takes notice. Pastor MacArthur is right on. We are under God's judgement and wrath. It could very well be that God could use what America worships and prides itself on (our Constitution and our government) to destroy itself. We must continue to preach Christ and Christ crucified.
None of the Christian speakers to which I've spoken have heard of the Christian/Political interface contained in: Political Sermons of the American Founding Era--Liberty Fund. The big name preachers engaged God's word into politics. They basically wrote the concepts of the U.S. Constitution. Folks, America and Israel were founded on God's word and it is more the prayer and meeting together. It is action in ALL areas of God's creation including politics. We've lost the education system; we've lost prayer in schools; we are struggling with abortion. It should not be that way. We work until we win. Sloth and slumber is a sin.
PS: we do not live in a Democracy; by purposeful design we are supposed to have a Republic--most Christians do not know the difference. We are asleep while the enemy marches.
listened to this yesterday thank you brother John for your wisdom..i hope this will be put in writing would like to copy and read and use it as a witness...i believe our Lord is coming soon..keep looking up..looking for that blessed hope and the appearing of my great God and Savior Jesus Christ who gave himself for me to redeem me from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works.Titus 2:14
I just love John. I call him "johnny Mac"! He never holds back and it is so refreshing. I have been listening to 2 sometimes 3 sermons per day. I cannot get enough.
The day after the election, I moped around and thought that the sky was falling. It got me to listen to sermons about God putting rulers in positions and for whatever reason, He chose to leave this ruler in. Now I tell people who are discouraged, and believe me there are a lot of them, that God is not up in Heaven wringing His Mighty hands over Obama. I believe it is for this time in Bible Prophesy that Obama is our president. I see what is going on in Israel and believe we are nearing the return of our Lord and Savior Amen!
I was fearing losing our 401k, job and house. Then I realized that my God is much bigger than any fear that I may have. I have put my trust completely in God. Now mine and my husbands focus is on sharing the gospel with as many people that will listen. Look up people, are redemption draweth nigh.
Thank you John for being a light in this dark world.
Thnak you for that encouraging word that I so needed to hear. It greatly helped me to put things in perspective.
Pastor John I need to ask for you forgiveness. I was looking at my views and not our Father's truths. I thank you for all you have said, and done without being shaken. Thank you for being a light in a dark world.
Thank you

Winter 2001
Volume 5 Number 2
John E. Huegel ('54B, '57M) recalls that he, PTS president Tom Gillespie ('54B), and classmate Vahe Simonian ('53B) all lived on the third floor of Brown Hall while students at PTS. One evening at about 9:00 p.m., when John had just returned from a field trip with one of the Gospel Teams, he noticed considerable commotion on the hall. Some of the residents quickly informed John that a trick was being played on Tom and
John was not particularly interested in becoming an accomplice, so he retired for the night. Later, at about 11:30 p.m., he heard a loud "booming roar" from down the hall.
Vahe, whose thunderous voice could be heard all over Brown Hall, and Tom, who didn't know quite what to make of it all, were both standing in the hallway. The two had just returned from their weekend preaching assignments to find that their rooms were completely bare. There was not a pin in the place—beds, dressers, bookcases, chairs, personal items, and even the carpet had been taken out and carefully placed in different rooms all over the dorm.
John never found out how long it took them to retrieve their belongings and to get their rooms back into shape. However, he does recall the looks on the faces of his two classmates on that night more than forty-six years ago.
"The guest speaker that night was Billy Sunday, and Dr. Charles Erdman was sitting in the front row, aisle seat. Sunday had developed a reputation as a performer who used many innovations, which was at once evident. On a raiser in the center of the chancel was a small easel and pad, on which was written one word per page. Each word suggested to Billy Sunday his next thought as he raced across the platform. "Sin." "Grace." etc.
"During his talk, he began reflecting on his age, and suddenly said, 'I am nearing 75, but watch!' With that he took off from the center of the chancel and with one giant leap headed for the wall. With what might be described as a slide into second base, he touched the wall under the window with his foot as he picked himself up in an agile manner.
"The climactic moment for us students came later, however. Billy got to the word "church" on the note pad and took off on a tirade about 'cold churches.' You should know that Dr. Erdman was the pastor of "First Church" in Princeton, as what is now Nassau Presbyterian Church was then known. It was not the warm, inviting body that it now is. Billy rose to his climax and said as loudly as he could: 'Why, some churches are so cold you could skate down the center aisle, how about that Charlie?' The nape of Dr. Erdman's neck grew florid.
"That evening marks in my mind the closing of Miller Chapel on Mercer Street. We returned to classes the next fall only to see a vacant space between what was then Dr. Blackwood's home and Alexander Hall. Miller Chapel had been lifted and turned bodily to face toward the quadrangle."
Joel Mattison ('54B) shares a story that he thought he understood during his student days at PTS, but admits that it has grown in significance over the years.
He recalls that one morning Dr. Norman Victor Hope, PTS professor of church history, closed his lecture by telling the class about a group of Scottish youths who had gathered outside a church and were discussing their visit to a fortune-teller the previous Saturday night.
Trying to have a bit of fun with an elderly lady in their midst, one of them turned to her and asked, "Are you going to the fortune-teller?" Her quick reply was: "Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever. That is all the fortune-telling that I need!"

Advanced Micro Devices Tuesday announced the completion of the sale of its Digital TV (DTV) processor business to Broadcom Corp. For some reason, the company had to slash the price of its business unit by $51 million.
Instead of originally announced $192.8, AMD sold its DTV biz for approximately $141.5 million in cash subject to certain escrows and adjustments pursuant to the terms of the definitive asset purchase agreement.
AMD's DTV product line includes all Xilleon integrated DTV processors and complete turnkey reference designs, as well as NXT receiver ICs, the Theater 300 DTV processor, and a line of panel processors that perform advanced motion compensation, frame rate conversion and scaling.
AMD got its DTV business unit when it acquired ATI Technologies back in late 2006. Since that time, revenues of its consumer electronics divisions has been dropping and AMD even had to write down over $800 million of intangible assets recently due to lower than expected financial performance of the CE business unit.
The acquisition of AMD's DTV business is expected to enable Broadcom to immediately scale its DTV business, and, in conjunction with its existing products, to offer a complete product line that covers all segments of the DTV market ranging from low-end value and mid-range quality to high-end interactive platforms and panel processors. The acquisition also is intended to expand Broadcom's existing tier one customer base, which includes the top DTV brands worldwide.
AMD claims that by leaving the DTV business it will be able to better concentrate on its core x86 microprocessors as well as graphics processors businesses.

Black Lake sturgeon season opens February 2
BLACK LAKE – The 2013 lake sturgeon season for Black Lake is set for Feb. 2, according to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources.
State-licensed anglers can spear six Black Lake sturgeon in February, DNR Fisheries Management biologist Tim Cwalinski said. The number is higher than last year's limit, thanks to successful efforts to limit last year's catch on the lake in Presque Isle and Cheboygan counties.
Prior to registering, anglers must have a valid all-species fishing licence, and get a lake sturgeon tag from any DNR license vendor, according to the release.
Sturgeon anglers will have the opportunity to register the day before the season, much as last year, Cwalinski said. On Feb. 1 from 2-8 p.m., the Onaway Field Office at 2312 N. M-211 Road will be open for preregistration. Those who can't make it can register the following day, either at the entrance to Onaway State Park or at a DNR trailer where Zolner Road ends at the lake's west shore.
The season starts on Feb. 2 at 8 a.m., with sturgeon fishing hours ending at 2 p.m.,, Cwalinski said. The season will end immediately once the sixth sturgeon is caught. If less than five sturgeon have been caught by 2 p.m., the season will continue into the next day. The season could last through Feb. 6 if only four sturgeon have been caught as of 2 p.m. the day prior.
The lucky few who get a sturgeon must tag them immediately, and tell any DNR personnel on the ice, according to the release. Successful anglers must take the fish to the trailer at Zolner Road.
Once again, 14 sturgeon have been allocated for catch, Cwalinski said, with anglers licensed by the DNR splitting them with the five American Indian tribes listed in the 2007 Inland Consent Decree. These tribes are the Bay Mills Indian Community, Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians, Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians, Little River Band of Ottawa Indians and the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians.
Each year's allocation is based on 1.2 percent of Black Lake's estimated mature sturgeon population, Cwalinski said. Michigan State University helps the DNR each spring, when a fraction of the mature fish swim up the Black River to spawn. While state-licensed anglers get half of the allocation, there's also a buffer to prevent over-catching. As such, the limit this year is set at six instead of seven.
"Once that estimate goes up, the number that can be allocated towards the harvest can go up," he said.
While this year's quota is the same as the 2012 season, anglers will have more of an opportunity because of a successful attempt to limit last year's catch, Cwalinski said. State-licensed sturgeon anglers could take only two due to an over-catch in the 2011 season.
"We took our pains last year, that's why we went with a smaller quota" in 2012, he said. "So now we're back to a more normal scenario this year."
Lake sturgeon can grow up to seven feet in length and weigh as much as 200 pounds, according to information from the DNR. These fish are slow to reach reproductive age, and not every mature fish spawns every year. Because of this, their populations are more prone to decline due to fishing and other factors.

I've recently tasted an awesome tea in a local tea house, it is called Gue Fei. Later I did lots of googling and it's other name appears to be Concubine Tea. My local vendor sells it for 35 usd per 75 g (2.65 oz). I think this might be a little overpriced so I am trying to find a place where it is sold online. I've checked several major shops without any luck. Then I googled and found it at Upton teas only
but so far I am not very comfortable with buying from Upton teas (I am still not sure whether they are a serious vendor). Not to mention that they list this tea as being from Thailand while it appears to be an unique Taiwanese tea.
I've also found this
http://cgi.ebay.com.sg/Premium-Gui-Fei- ... 0273027931
but I never heard of this seller and will now be googling in order to dig up some info about them.
Do you know any other place where it is sold online? Also, chances are that Gue Fei is some kind of unpopular alternative name and may be this tea is mainly sold under different name. At least that would explain why I can't find it at major vendors.
