Brain Injury
Statements By Members
1:55 p.m.
Cathy McLeod Kamloops—Thompson—Cariboo, BC
Mr. Speaker, it gives me great pleasure to pay tribute to an outstanding couple who have revolutionized the way Kamloopsians and Canadians think about the effects of brain injuries on survivors and their loved ones.
Dr. Gur Singh has been a leader in the Kamloops medical community and his enormous contributions have brightened the lives of countless individuals. As a neurosurgeon, Dr. Singh witnessed first-hand the devastating impact that brain injuries had on both individuals and their families.
Recognizing that more must be done and with the committed partnership of his wife, Manju, they have spearheaded the annual Gur Singh invitational charity golf tournament since 2003 and an annual dinner, appropriately named "Celebrating Survival", starting in 2007.
Over $500,000 raised in seven years has enabled the Kamloops Brain Injury Association to maintain and increase the services it provides to brain injury survivors and their families in the Kamloops and surrounding areas.
We thank Dr. and Mrs. Singh for their enormous contribution to our community and in support of brain injury prevention, treatment and care.

Francis Scarpaleggia Lac-Saint-Louis, QC
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate a group of young citizens from my riding of Lac-Saint-Louis, Ally Hobson, Douglas Slobod, Alex Timmons and others, who have contacted me with grave concerns about police interventions against protestors at last summer's G20 in Toronto.
These bright and engaged young people, the lawyers, doctors, teachers, scientists and political leaders of tomorrow, are so concerned about the chilling effects of police actions at the G20 on the future rights of citizens to free assembly and protest that they have signed a petition calling for an independent public inquiry into the matter.
Specifically the group supports the various recommendations of the Canadian Civil Liberties Association, including the call for an independent inquiry and a law reform initiative to ensure that Criminal Code provisions relating to breach of the peace, unlawful assemblies and riots are brought in line with constitutional standards.
I commend all these young constituents for their unshakeable idealism, namely for their keen awareness of the principles upon which a free and effective democracy rest. I also congratulate them for their courage to take action in support of these principles.
Our country's future is indeed in good hands with young people such as these.
Saint-Jérôme CEGEP
Statements By Members

Monique Guay Rivière-du-Nord, QC
Mr. Speaker, for 40 years, the Saint-Jérôme CEGEP has been the knowledge showcase of the Laurentian region. This institution opened its doors in 1970, with 900 students. It now has 4,200. Beyond being an educational institution, the CEGEP is a living environment that reflects the dynamic, committed and forward-thinking young people who go there. Their vision for the future is evident in the thousands of graduates who are now citizens making their contribution to advancing society.
Its success over the years can be attributed to the hard work and passion of the school's management and support staff and its professors and instructors who are able to share their knowledge both competently and passionately.
Many activities are being held to celebrate this 40th anniversary. I invite the public to take part in these activities. And I say to the staff of the Saint-Jérôme CEGEP: may you always feel this passion.
Baha'i Community in Iran
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Thomas Mulcair Outremont, QC
Mr. Speaker, on March 30, 2009, this House unanimously condemned the persecution of the Baha'i of Iran.
The House also urged the government to review the charges and hold a fair, open trial.
Iran did not heed our call.
On August 8, 2010, after a show trial, the seven accused were sentenced to 20 years in prison, which was later reduced to 10 years.
One of the defence lawyers, Shirin Ebadi, a Nobel Peace Prize recipient, said that there was no evidence to corroborate the charges against the seven Baha'i individuals. Their only crime was to belong to the Baha'i community.
Meanwhile, the government continues to violate their rights.
We again condemn this charade, this denial of justice, and we urge Iran to immediately release the seven individuals pending the fair, rapid resolution of their appeal and to stop persecuting Iran's Baha'i community.
North Shore Youth Safe House
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Andrew Saxton North Vancouver, BC
Mr. Speaker, I would like to take a moment to highlight the inspiring story of the North Shore Youth Safe House, which is in my riding of North Vancouver.
The safe house provides emergency bed and supportive housing spaces for vulnerable youth who are at risk of becoming homeless. Services available include the development of life skills, personal counselling, addiction counselling and employment coaching.
What makes this service particularly special is that it is the creation of a caring community. I was involved in this project from early on, even before being elected, and saw for myself how it was built with the hands of volunteer tradespeople, with the support of community service clubs, and with the backing of a generous and anonymous donor.
I am proud to say that all levels of government have also done their bit to ensure its continued operation, including our own government, which contributed $800,000 last year through the homelessness partnering strategy.
I applaud my community and I congratulate the Hollyburn Family Services Society for the continued success of the safe house.
Arthur Reeves

Lise Zarac LaSalle—Émard, QC
Mr. Speaker, today I have a heavy heart as I pay tribute to Arthur Reeves, a man who for 35 years left his mark on the borough of LaSalle with his volunteer work, his involvement with youth, his great generosity and his desire to make a difference in the community.
Mr. Reeves, who died suddenly on October 3, had worked for many years at the Club Richelieu LaSalle and served as club president from 2003 to 2004.
Mr. Reeves was one of the founders of the Boys and Girls Club of LaSalle. He was also active in the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul. In fact, for a number of years, he helped prepare Christmas hampers for the less fortunate families in the riding.
Arthur Reeves will be missed by all the people whose lives he touched during his lifetime. His passing is a great loss for our community. On behalf of all the members of this House and the people of LaSalle—Émard, I would like to express our deepest sympathy to his wife Lise and his whole family.
Mississauga Community Fundraising

Bob Dechert Mississauga—Erindale, ON
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to report that Mississauga residents are giving back to their community.
Just this past Saturday, the Mississauga Board of Chinese Professionals & Businesses hosted its highly successful 12th annual Phoenix Ball. Over the past 12 years, the Phoenix Ball has raised over $1 million for local charities.
Congratulations to Audrey Chiang, Joseph Wong, Ying Lu, Tali Wong, Lily Van, and all of the volunteers, sponsors and donors for making this year's ball so successful.
On Sunday, the Erin Mills Lions Club held its largest-ever annual walkathon, in support of the Children's Wish Foundation.
I want to thank Tony Grewal, Sangeeta Nair, Harjit Dhaliwal and all of the volunteers, sponsors and walkers for their efforts and generosity.
On Friday, October 22, the Trillium Health Centre Foundation will be holding its ninth annual Diwali gala fundraising celebration, in support of health care for seniors.
The Trillium Diwali event is the largest of its kind in Canada and has raised over $2.95 million. I am pleased to report that this year's event is already sold out.
Canadians are well known for these acts of community service and generosity, and as parliamentarians we should--

Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Carole Lavallée Saint-Bruno—Saint-Hubert, QC
Mr. Speaker, while a fifth round of negotiations is under way to discuss a free trade agreement between Canada and the European Union, we have to wonder about the Conservatives' commitment to defending the cultural exemption clause, as was highlighted by Louise Beaudoin, former Quebec minister of culture and now the member for Rosemont.
And perhaps we should be worried, given the response from the Minister of International Trade, who laughed at the question, saying, and I quote, "I do not think that Canadians are worried that our television, literature and other parts of our culture will be overtaken by an influx of, say, Lithuanian literature."
The minister must understand that cultural diversity needs to be protected because it is at the heart of our identity and whatever is offered to the Europeans should also be required of the Americans.
Since the Conservative government's real intentions concerning the cultural exemption clause are unclear, I invite the Minister of International Trade to come and testify at the heritage committee to explain seriously how he intends to ensure that the treaty on cultural diversity, which Canada promoted and signed, will be respected. I will propose this motion in committee this afternoon.
Canadian Forces College

Lois Brown Newmarket—Aurora, ON
Mr. Speaker, since 1943, Canadian officers have furthered their leadership skills through professional training at the Canadian Forces College. The college is known as the leading educational institution in defence and security education. Most of Canada's senior military leaders are graduates of the Canadian Forces College, which is affectionately known in the military as "General College".
For over 60 years, the college has helped to sustain the effectiveness of the Canadian Forces and defence and security organizations within Canada and its alliances.
Courses now include a national security program, which prepares participants to deal effectively with national security issues, policy and strategy.
Today, we have staff and students from the national security program joining us on the Hill. All participants are Canadian Forces colonels, senior Canadian public servants, and senior officers from allied nations.
I know all members will join me in welcoming the Canadian Forces College.

John Cannis Scarborough Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, this month the Republic of Cyprus is celebrating its 50th year of independence. However, this independence as an integral country was short-lived, for in July 1974 an illegal invasion took place by Turkish forces, which occupy, until this very day, one-third of the island.
In the 21st century, this is unacceptable. It is unacceptable for a nation that is a member of the European Union to be illegally occupied by a nation that is also an applicant for membership to the same European Union. It makes no sense.
What is Cyprus then asking for? Cyprus is asking for nothing more than what any civilized nation is also asking: to have the right to live in peace within a secure, united and sovereign territory, recognizing the rights of all its citizens.
Cyprus must be, and deserves to be, a free and united country in which it is the right of all Cypriots, whatever their denomination, to live in peace.

Daniel Petit Charlesbourg—Haute-Saint-Charles, QC
Mr. Speaker, Canada is a nation of immigrants, with a proud tradition of welcoming refugees. In fact, every year we welcome hundreds of thousands of immigrants from around the world.
Unfortunately, our immigration system has come under attack by human smugglers. Human smugglers are abusing our good will and our immigration system. This must stop.
Our Conservative government will take fair and reasonable action to prevent the abuse of our immigration system by human smugglers. Our government will send a clear message: Canada opens its doors to those who work hard and play by the rules, while cracking down on those who seek to take advantage of our generosity and abuse our fair and welcoming immigration system.

Daryl Kramp Prince Edward—Hastings, ON
Mr. Speaker, this year we mark the 40th anniversary of diplomatic relations with China. As co-chair of the Canada-China Legislative Association and on behalf of the Parliament of Canada, I welcome Chairman Zheng Silin and his delegation to Canada and to China on the Hill.
Although our countries are separated by the Pacific Ocean, we have built strong and lasting bridges in the areas of politics, commerce and trade, as well as cultural and educational exchanges that we must reflect upon and celebrate. During the last year in particular, we had numerous visits by ministers, parliamentarians, departmental officials and very successful reciprocal visits by President Hu and our Prime Minister.
This increased level of mutual co-operation has resulted in agricultural agreements benefiting the canola, pork and beef sectors, memorandums of understanding on climate change and mineral resources, and the agreement on approved destination status, resulting in a significant increase in tourism and business opportunities.
In developing relationships comes mutual understanding. In promoting relationships comes mutual prosperity.
Democratic Reform

2:10 p.m.
Libby Davies Vancouver East, BC
Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the NDP, I would like to welcome Equal Voice and the young women who have been invited here today to learn about the different roles women MPs play on the Hill.
Equal Voice has invited all MPs to focus on better decorum in the House, asking us to remember to be tough, not rough. We welcome this needed attention on Parliament, and I am pleased to have worked with my fellow House leaders in all parties to improve decorum and respect in the House.
It is a reality that question period is often the face of this place, and the daily, shall we say, exuberance that characterizes question period can be discouraging for young people, especially young women, who do not see a place for themselves in that kind of atmosphere. And why should they?
We recognize the barriers and challenges faced by women in the political process. The leader of the NDP has worked tirelessly to ensure the strong representation of women in our caucus and the need to overcome all barriers. We are committed to getting work done in this House in a way that is respectful of diversity, respectful of women and respectful of each other.

This frightens me :'( Sharia Law Enforced Zones in UK
I may have to flee England to avoid Execution
Islamic extremists have launched a poster campaign across the UK proclaiming areas where Sharia law enforcement zones have been set up.
Communities have been bombarded with the posters, which read: You are entering a Sharia-controlled zone Islamic rules enforced.
The bright yellow messages daubed on bus stops and street lamps have already been seen across certain boroughs in London and order that in the zone there should be no gambling, no music or concerts, no porn or prostitution, no drugs or smoking and no alcohol.
Hate preacher Anjem Choudary has claimed responsibility for the scheme, saying he plans to flood specific Muslim and non-Muslim communities around the UK and put the seeds down for an Islamic Emirate in the long term.
In the past week, dozens of streets in the London boroughs of Waltham Forest, Tower Hamlets and Newham have been targeted, raising fears that local residents may be intimidated or threatened for flouting Islamic rules.
Choudary, who runs the banned militant group Islam4UK, warned: We now have hundreds if not thousands of people up and down the country willing to go out and patrol the streets for us and a print run of between 10,000 and 50,000 stickers ready for distribution.
There are 25 areas around the country which the Government has earmarked as areas where violent extremism is a problem.
Seizing control: Activist Jamaal Uddin puts up one of the Sharia stickers in Leyton, in the East London borough of Waltham Forest
We are going to go to all these same areas and implement our own Sharia-controlled zones.
This is the best way for dealing with drunkenness and loutishness, prostitution and the sort of thug life attitude you get in British cities.
The former lawyer added: This will mean this is an area where the Muslim community will not tolerate drugs, alcohol, pornography, gambling, usury, free mixing between the sexes the fruits if you like of Western civilisation.
We want to run the area as a Sharia-controlled zone and really to put the seeds down for an Islamic Emirate in the long term.
Scotland Yard is now working with local councils to remove the posters and identify those responsible for putting them up.
Choudary said he was organising a protest against the Far Right in Waltham Forest this weekend following last Fridays killing spree in Norway by anti-Islamic gunman Anders Breivik.
He said: We are going to put the events in Oslo on the agenda. We are going to be marching and addressing this issue. It is a whole new scenario now. The Muslim community needs to be vigilant. There is an undercurrent against Islam.
I do believe a Norway-style attack could happen here.
The campaign comes just months after stickers proclaiming a gay-free zone and appearing to reference the religious Islamic text of the Koran appeared in Tower Hamlets.
Women in parts of East London including Tower Hamlets have been threatened with violence and even death by Islamic extremists if they did not wear headscarves.
James Brandon, of the anti-extremism think-tank the Quilliam Foundation, which has dubbed the intimidation the work of Talibanesque thugs, said: This is a small group which is not representative of these communities.
Its great news that the police have decided to investigate this. This has the potential to divide communities and upset people.
Yesterday the leader of Waltham Forest Council, Chris Robbins, said: As soon as we heard about these posters we worked over the weekend to take them all down.
Since then we have been going through our CCTV images and working with the police to try to identify the culprits. Our policy is to use the full extent of our powers to prosecute any offenders.
People should not get the wrong idea about our borough because a handful of small-minded idiots, who do not live here, decide to deface our streets with ridiculous posters.
I say everyone protests and plays this song!!!!!!!!
Unfortunately, the UK government is most likely too cowardly to do anything to stop this gradual Islamic takeover. Ah well, pluralism and political correctness strikes again. RIP United Kingdom.
One of the mightiest Militaries in the world we used to be, reduced to so little it probably wouldnt be able to secure its own boarders much less patrol its own streets if the need arose.
Westminster is likely to ignore this, leaving it to the local Government (the Town Councils) to sort out...which is okay if this is an idle threat...but NOT okay if these people mean to do what they say.
Noone cares anymore...didnt you hear...Islamic Terrorists have Human Rights now also...the right to freedom of speech, the right to freedom of Expression...Praise GOD they havent got the right to bear arms in this country...but no doubt they will take that whether it is given to them by law or not.
This sort of thing is a worry to me...because Sharia Law would be most unkind to anyone...even suspected of the sorts of sexual activities I might have once been engaged in. The mere suspicion in places Where Sharia is strictly enforced, is enough to get you hanged...I dont particularly want to find myself destined for the gallows....well...in this sort of lawlessness it would be a lynching anyway...but you get the idea. Its not nice when you dont feel safe anymore.
They have come from years of unchecked legal and illegal immigration. Europe forces us to take more then we can...and the Government department for immigration has always been the countries biggest civil service embarissment.
Ironically...they believe they are helping....coz they are targetting areas the Government has highlighted for disorderly conduct. But the Government dont do anything about it...so this is British Muslims taking control into their own hands...
You should understand that being American...they are acting like Patriots...the difference in the United Kingdom is that as Citizens you dont have the right to take the law into your own hands...to do so is considered a rebellion against Government...and for the English the Government is supposed to protect and provide for us...ergo...its the Government that should now act to sort this out...this sort of shyte is why I ellected them to Rule
I now expect them to enforce their Rule against this Islamic Rebellion...and to learn from it, by sorting out the issues of disorder without employing Sharia Law
Man, you know it's getting bad when England of all places is having to deal with this kind of stuff.

Making the switch to whole grains is easier�and tastier�than you think.
Make at least half of your grains whole. That�s the advice offered up in the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. But sadly, most Americans are nowhere near that mark. There�s an easy way to up the whole-grains quotient�by making the switch to whole-grains pasta. Relish Chef Steven Petusevsky explains the benefits:

Whole grains, or foods made from them, contain the bran, germ and endosperm of the grain. Look for pastas made with buckwheat, brown rice, Kamut, quinoa, corn, spelt and whole wheat. And to make identifying them super easy, look for the Whole Grains Stamp on the package.
Whole-wheat pasta is perfect paired with hearty, earthy flavors. Try it with any of these toppings:
-Caramelized Onions
-Parsley or Other Chopped Greens
-Feta Cheese
-Kalamata Olives
-Shredded Lamb
-Bolognese Sauce
For more on whole grains...

Police search for Canon City man
CANON CITY — A man who was shot by law officers during a New Year's Day crime spree is again being sought by authorities on a $10,000 warrant for allegedly violating bail bond conditions.
John Freyta, 46, is charged with two felony counts of attempted second-degree assault on Canon City police officer Timothy Bell and Fremont County sheriff's Deputy Christopher Pape. He also is charged with vehicular eluding, violation of a protection order, resisting arrest and obstruction of a peace officer.
Freyta, who has worked as a Federal Bureau of Prisons employee, was released from jail on $15,000 bail.
"After bonding out of jail, he (allegedly) contacted the original victim of the protection order that started the whole incident before the shooting on January 1," said Capt. Don Pinover of the Fremont County Sheriff's Office.
According to an arrest warrant affidavit, police initially were called to the 1300 block of Reed Lane on Jan. 1, when the victim's daughter heard arguing and called to report a restraining order violation. Responding officers were advised that Freyta had a concealed weapons permit.
Freyta reportedly led authorities on a high-speed chase before driving his vehicle off a cliff at the end of Tunnel Drive and running on foot away from authorities. He reportedly threw rocks at Bell, prompting Bell to shoot several times at Freyta.
Freyta was treated at a Colorado Springs hospital for two minor bullet wounds to the side and one in the elbow. Bell and Pape were both placed on administrative leave with pay for 24 days while the incident was investigated.
Both officers were cleared of any wrongdoing and returned to duty Friday. Freyta had made an initial court appearance Jan. 15 and was slated to return to court Feb. 19 for plea and sentencing.

Carmela Ann "Melly" Napolitan, 83, of Bradford, passed away Tuesday (June 11, 2013) at the BRMC Pavilion in Bradford.
Born May 25, 1930, in Hazel Hurst, she was a daughter of the late Michael and Antoinette Santaniello Napolitan.
Ms. Napolitan was a graduate of Mansfield University and began her teaching career in Savona, NY, in 1952. Later she served as an elementary teacher for fortytwo years in the Bradford Area School District, retiring in 1995.
Carmela was a member of the Retired Teachers' Association and the St. Joseph's Rosary Society.

Alpena native promoted to Major General
ALPENA -An Alpena native, Burton K. Francisco, the commander of the 46th Military Police Command in the Michigan Army National Guard, had been promoted to the rank of Major General.
Francisco graduated from Alpena High School in 1977 and joined the Michigan Army National Guard in 1978 as a traditional guardsman. His interest in the National Guard was peaked by a fellow hockey official, Mike Buck, while he worked with the Alpena Hockey Association.
Francisco told The News in a 2009 interview about what inspired him to join the guard.
"I looked at it two-fold, to offset college costs and to help serve my country," he said.
Since joining in 1978, Francisco has served in the Michigan National Guard for 35 years and has served in numerous staff, operations and command positions from platoon level through brigade commander, and was the Assistant Adjutant General and Commander for the Guard in Lansing. He also served as the Counterdrug Coordinator for Michigan and Commander of the 51st Weapons of Mass Destruction – Civil Support Team.
As commander of the 46th Military Police Command, he is in charge of a specialized response force called Command and Control for Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) Response Elements. This force is the only one of its kind, and is comprised of National Guard forces from around the country.
During his military career, he received awards including the Meritorious Service Medal, Army Commendation Medal, Army Achievement Medal, Army Reserve Components Achievement Medal, Global War on Terrorism Service Medal and National Defense Service Medal, among many other recognitions and awards.
Among his many recognitions and awards, Francisco also holds a Bachelor of Science Degree from Ferris State University in Big Rapids and is a graduate of the United States Army War College in Carlisle Barracks, Pa.
He is also a family man and along with his wife, Donna, has two children, Chad and Karla, and four grandchildren.
In his 2009 interview with The News, Francisco attributes his work ethic and values to his experiences in his youth.
"Those values I learned while growing up in Alpena have always allowed me to enhance my success throughout my career," he said.
With this new promotion to Major General, Francisco proves his continuous practice of values he learned while growing up in Alpena.

Preparing for another storm
Another storm is on the way.
According to the National Weather Service, Iron Mountain-Kingsford will receive one to three inches of snow today, and another inch tonight.
Meanwhile in neighboring Wisconsin, a winter weather advisory in effect from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. today in Marinette and Florence counties, along with Onieda and Forest counties. Those areas could get up to six inches of snow.
The winter weather advisory is also in effect in western Menominee County and western Delta County.
As powerful winter storms continue to develop in the Central U.S., the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) encourages everyone to get ready now to weather the storm for at least three days by having all the supplies you and your family need on hand.
"Snow and ice storms can be dangerous and potentially life-threatening. It's important to know your risk, have a plan and put it into action when confronted with severe weather," said FEMA Region V Administrator Andrew Velasquez III.
To protect your family and prevent damages, the Federal Emergency Management Agency offers these tips:
– Create an emergency supply kit that includes a three-day supply of food and water for each person, a battery-powered or hand-crank radio, extra flashlights and batteries, and any items to meet the unique needs of your family.
– Purchase rock salt to melt ice on walkways, sand to improve traction and snow shovels or other snow removal equipment.
– Ensure your family preparedness plan and contacts are up to date.
– Maintain adequate clothing and blankets to keep you warm.
Make sure to also put together a winter survival kit for the time you spend on the road. Don't run the risk of being stranded in your vehicle without proper emergency equipment and supplies.
To prepare for a winter storm you should do the following:
– Before winter approaches, add the following supplies to your emergency kit:
– Sand to improve traction.
– Snow shovels and other snow removal equipment.
– Sufficient heating fuel. You may become isolated in your home and regular fuel sources may be cut off. Store a good supply of dry, seasoned wood for your fireplace or wood-burning stove.
– Adequate clothing and blankets to keep you warm.
– Make a Family Communications Plan. Your family may not be together when disaster strikes, so it is important to know how you will contact one another, how you will get back together and what you will do in case of an emergency.
– Listen to a NOAA Weather Radio or other local news channels for critical information from the National Weather Service (NWS). Be alert to changing weather conditions.
– Minimize travel. If travel is necessary, keep a disaster supplies kit in your vehicle.
– Bring pets/companion animals inside during winter weather. Move other animals or livestock to sheltered areas with non-frozen drinking water.
Additionally, Wisconsin Insurance Commissioner Theodore Nickel urges drivers to use extra caution on winter roads.
"Most of Wisconsin has been fortunate to experience a relatively normal winter, but we have had driving challenges this season with large snowfalls, sleet, freezing rain and warmer than average temperatures which have created foggy conditions," said Nickel. "We all need to be on alert for winter road hazards that can injure our loved ones or cause damage to our vehicles."
Road hazards can include icy roads and limited visibility during snowstorms. Drivers should also be on the lookout for animals, such as deer running across the road, and other drivers. When the snow piles up, cars become sliding targets and ditches can become magnets. Black ice is an especially dangerous road hazard that can occur anywhere.
Nickel offers these tips: "Always maintain a safe distance between your car and the car in front of you. Use care and drive slowly enough for conditions. Check road conditions (at www.dot.wisconsin.gov) and if the environment is threatening, consider staying home and waiting for better road conditions. If you must go out, be prepared."
Nickel also suggests that vehicles should be equipped with an emergency road kit, warm clothes, blankets, and a fully charged cell phone.
This is also the time to review your automobile insurance policy for any limitations in coverage. For example, consumers who carry collision auto insurance without comprehensive coverage are not covered in the event of damage to vehicles as a result of hail, wind or flooding. Additionally, make sure your coverage is adequate for your insurance needs.
If you are in an automobile accident, remember the following tips:
– Call the police.
– Obtain information such as the names, addresses, telephone numbers and license numbers of all persons involved in the accident, as well as all witnesses.
– Record the time, date, location, road conditions, make and year of the vehicles involved, insurance information, apparent damage and injuries and your version of what happened. If you can, take pictures with a cell phone camera.
– Call your insurance agent. Make sure to have your policy number and other relevant information on hand. Also be sure you cooperate fully with the insurance company and ask your agent what documents, forms and data you'll need to file a claim.
– Take notes each time you talk to your insurance company, agent, lawyers, police or anyone else involved in the situation. Write down dates, times, names and what you talked about, as well as any decisions or promises made.
– Save any receipts and bills, including those from a car rental or hotel room if the automobile accident happens outside of your town.
To avoid accidents, make sure you plan your travels and check the latest weather reports to avoid any storms.

Matt,After proofing, your dough with bubbles looks amazing. I like to see how other members doughs look. I bet you are going to get delicious pizzas from all those dough balls. I wish I could taste a pizza made from you dough.Thanks for taking the time to show your dough and dough balls, Norma
The weather isn't cooperation right now so their destiny is still unknown. Matt
Best of luck to you in whatever you decide to use the dough balls for. Let us all know what you decide and post pictures if you have time.We might get thunderstorms today and the temperature is supposed to be around 90 degrees F or hotter. I am still going to the Celtic Fling and Highland Games, no matter if I get drenched or sweat. Norma
Since the weather refused to cooperate I decided to combine the dough balls to make 2 focaccia's & 2 Sicilian raisin breads. The results will be insteresting as the dough was made with my standard sour dough Neapolitan formula. Below are some pictures taken prior to the final proofing.Matt
Peter or anyone else that is interested in reading about Milton Hershey and his failures and ultimately his great success.Here is the link were I posted links about Milton Hershey. Repy # 5http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,9827.msg85451.html#msg85451Norma
Quite inspiring. I had no idea he had so many failures prior to success.
Nice job woman! I'm electrically challenged too. So can anyone explain to me the purpose of a proofing box. Well I know it allows you to proof at a consistent temp, but what temps are you all proofing at and how long do you typically proof in the box for?
So can anyone explain to me the purpose of a proofing box. Well I know it allows you to proof at a consistent temp, but what temps are you all proofing at and how long do you typically proof in the box for?
I have some hotel shower caps, so do you think I should also add humidity with the use of a washcloth or something else inside the container with the dough?
Norma,I was thinking more of placing a cup of hot water in the proofing box along with the dough. Hopefully, the water will provide enough humidity to keep the dough from skinning up. I would perhaps check the dough from time to time to see if that happens. Peter
Matt,I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. For an electrically challenged person, like myself, your instructions were perfect. I can now wire in a series. I took off all the duct tape and electrical tape and started over again. When I connected everything up like you told me, I was worried to plug the proofing box in. I wasnt worried about your instructions, but worried if the dimmer switch would work. It worked. I was so elated, that I was smiling from ear to ear. I didnt have to purchase another dimmer switch and the proofing box is now finished. I posted pictures of the wiring, so anyone that is electrically challenged like I am, can see how to do the wiring in a series, along with Matts instructions. Even a woman can do it. I did take other pictures of the light on in the proofing box and the electrical wires taped up. I even cut duct tape, so my thermometer wouldnt get the hole any bigger, where I had placed it. Lets hear a big round of applause for Matt and helping me learn something new. Thanks Matt,Norma
Matt,I hope your proofed dough worked out okay yesterday. I am going to have challenge today with getting all the steps right in trying this Ultra-Thin crust.Norma
Hey Norma,It worked out perfectly. My Neapolitan dough made excellent focaccia much to my surprise. This picture was taken this morning after being in the fridge all night. I didn't take any pictures last night because we had guests but the crumb structure was great.Matt

Protesters rally over shooting investigation
Police say rally was peaceful with no reported incidents
MADISON, Wis. - Feelings of anger, shock, disbelief, and distrust are rampant after a Madison police officer Steven Heimsness was exonerated this week in the shooting death of Paul Heenan.
To combat those feelings, some are efforting to keep Heenan's case – and his memory – alive.
Friends of Heenan and others upset by the entire ordeal gathered on the steps of the City-County building on Saturday to demand justice.
"Serious questions have gone unanswered," said Heenan family friend Samuel Stevenson. "What we've seen this week is you can use lethal force against an unarmed person and not lose your job and not really have any serious consequences come to you."
Organizers said about 200 people attended the rally for Heenan, the Madison musician shot and killed by officer Heimsness in November.18113250
"I don't believe the community at large will really be able to trust the Madison police department as much as we deserve to until policies change," continued Stevenson.
Heenan's friends said an independent review is an important first step in restoring public trust.
"I would trust it more," said Nicole Miller of the Web site pauliesgift.org. "I would trust a result a lot more if it had an independent conclusion."
Miller and other friends are hoping Heenan's passion for music will help bring the community together.
They're planning a music festival to remember him.
"We've gotten together and formed a group called Paulie's Gift that we've put together to honor his memory and honor his life," said Miller.
Stevenson claims other communities already use an independent panel of professionals and citizens to investigate cases like Heenan's.
They plan to continue lobbying elected officials to get those same changes in place in Madison.
"When they do inevitably and tragically occur again in the future, there's already a policy and in place to deal with them in an independent and credible manner," argued Stevenson.
Police said the rally was peaceful and no incidents were reported related to it.
Earlier this week, Chief Noble Wray released the findings of the internal investigation into the shooting death of Paul Heenan.
In that report, MPD determined that Officer Heimsness acted within department policies.
In a department first, Chief Wray released the 40-page internal summary to the public.

Law Of The Sea
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Charles Caccia Davenport, ON
Mr. Speaker, straddling the 200 nautical mile limit there is a fish stock which is of great importance to the existence and well-being of many coastal communities in Atlantic Canada.
Designed to avoid crisis in the fisheries, the law of the sea affirms the responsibility of all nations to co-operate in conserving and managing fish in the high seas. It is in the interests of Canadians that the Government of Canada ratify the law of the sea convention.
Canada should join the other 60 nations in the sustainable management of fish and bring destructive overfishing to an end. I call on the Government of Canada to ratify the law of the sea in 1994.
Disabled Athletes
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Madeleine Dalphond-Guiral Laval Centre, QC
Mr. Speaker, National Access Awareness Week is an excellent opportunity to remind this House of the extraordinary performance of our disabled athletes at the last Winter Olympics for the disabled.
Unfortunately, their outstanding achievements did not receive the attention they deserved. In fact, the nine medals won by Canada were mentioned only in a 30-minute television presentation by CTV. That is hardly enough to acknowledge the courage and perseverance of these athletes, for whom life itself is an achievement.
The Summer Olympics will be held two years from now, and I am confident that the Minister of Canadian Heritage will demonstrate that, in Canada, integration of the disabled is a fact and not merely wishful thinking, and urge the CBC to provide adequate television coverage of our disabled athletes at the next Summer Games.
In doing so, we will express the admiration and respect which their exceptional achievements deserve.
Bills C-33 And C-34
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
John Duncan North Island—Powell River, BC
Mr. Speaker, yesterday we had the introduction of Bills C-33 and C-34 which would ratify land claims and self-government agreements in Yukon. Last week we were told the government wished to have these bills introduced later in June with the understanding that MPs would have time to prepare properly.
These bills represent the culmination of 21 years of mostly behind closed doors work without the involvement of federal parliamentarians. Today, 24 hours after tabling, Parliament is being asked to debate these bills at second reading.
This is an obvious abuse of power. The Liberal red ink book speaks of the integrity of Parliament. Surely assimilating over nine inches of text overnight with a rushed departmental briefing this morning does not speak well for the integrity of Parliament or the interests of all Canadians. This action is a travesty of Parliament.
Vancouver Canucks

2 p.m.
Anna Terrana Vancouver East, BC
Mr. Speaker, I take this opportunity to congratulate the 1993-94 NHL western conference champions, the Vancouver Canucks, for reaching the Stanley Cup finals for the second time in their history.
Coach Pat Quinn has done a remarkable job, as have the rest of the Vancouver organization and the players. In particular, goal tender "Captain" Kirk MacLean, Pavel "The Russian Rocket" Bure, and Captain Trevor Linden have shown great leadership and poise throughout the playoffs.
In getting to the finals, the Canucks upset their long time rivals, the Calgary Flames. They handily defeated the Dallas Stars and then beat the Toronto Maple Leafs. Last night they won their first game with the New York Rangers, the best team in the regular season.
With their talent, hard work, determination and the support of all Canadians, I know they will meet the challenge and ultimately succeed in keeping Lord Stanley's cup here in Canada.
On behalf of all Canadians, I would like again to wish the Vancouver Canucks, the players and the organization who play-

National Research Council

Andrew Telegdi Waterloo, ON
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to inform the House of the Prime Minister's appointment this morning of Dr. Art Carty as president of the National Research Council.
Dr. Carty is a highly appropriate choice for this position. He has nearly 30 years experience as a professor and researcher at the University of Waterloo since 1967. His experience and leadership in the domestic and international scientific community are a fitting match with Canada's foremost research facility, the National Research Council.
Dr. Carty has been a director on various boards and has been a consultant to companies. Dr. Carty is therefore a model of the type of co-operation between the private sector and academia the government wants to promote.
Dr. Carty's appointment demonstrates the government's commitment to applied research which serves as one of the pillars of Canada's economic strategy in the new economy.
Show Off East Hants

2 p.m.
John Murphy Annapolis Valley—Hants, NS
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to extend my congratulations to the organizers and those who participated in Show Off East Hants. It was a two-day trade fair which was recently held in Lantz in my riding of Annapolis Valley-Hants.
The trade fair drew 3,500 people from throughout the riding and other parts of the province. People came to see over 100 local businesses show off their first class products and services.
The bringing together of these local businesses to achieve a common goal provides an important link between economic development and job creation. All participants should be proud of their efforts in promoting East Hants as an excellent place to do business.
I ask all members of the House to join me in congratulating those who added to the overwhelming success of Show Off East Hants.
Quebec's Credit Rating
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Pierre Brien Témiscamingue, QC
Mr. Speaker, it is now public knowledge. Moody's, the U.S. bond rating agency, judged yesterday that Quebec's economy was sound and confirmed the province's credit rating.
This is a far cry from the apocalyptic scenario described by the Prime Minister, who is trying to scare Quebecers by claiming that the economy is suffering as a result of the political instability caused by the Bloc Quebecois. Mr. Speaker, the real cause of instability in Canada is the Liberal government's failure to cope with the deficit and unemployment.
While Quebec's credit rating has been maintained, Ontario's rating has gone down, and Canada's rating is being reassessed. If Quebecers want economic growth on a sound and stable basis, they must opt for sovereignty, not for maintaining ties with a weak and irresponsible government.

Jack Frazer Saanich—Gulf Islands, BC
Mr. Speaker, 50 years ago on the first day of June there was frenetic activity in England. Final preparations were being made to launch the largest military force ever embarked on, for at dawn on Tuesday, June 6, 1944 D-Day, the invasion of Nazi occupied France, would commence. In May 1945 victory in Europe would be declared and freedom returned to the continent.
In commemorating the longest day we pay tribute to the thousands of our military killed or wounded in battle and the hundreds of thousands of Canadian families who sacrificed here at home during the war.
It is also appropriate that we consider how the course of history can be affected for the better by people and nations determined to fight evil.
Just prior to that war there was some wavering of resolve and failed attempts at appeasement. In the end, it was only through determined effort that freedom and democracy triumphed.
History teaches us that it is not easy to stand up to tyranny. We salute those who did.
Rideau Canal
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Jim Jordan Leeds—Grenville, ON
Mr. Speaker, on May 22 I had the pleasure of assisting at the opening of the Rideau Canal for another season.
Completed in 1832 to give access to the Great Lakes from the nation's capital, the canal today offers 202 kilometres of clear, pristine waters through a total of 47 locks. Hundreds of pleasure craft annually move leisurely along through the canal and pages and pages of Canada's history.
As the holiday season starts in Canada in a few weeks I encourage Canadian boaters who are looking for a relaxing holiday to try travelling the Rideau this summer. It is not a fast way to get to Kingston from the capital, but it is one which will take them through a beautiful part of Canada and one they will always remember.
Royal Canadian Legion
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Gurbax Malhi Bramalea—Gore—Malton, ON
Mr. Speaker, yesterday Royal Canadian Legion members voted against allowing turbaned Sikh veterans and Jewish veterans to enter legion halls. I applaud the resignation of Dominion Command Chairman Robert Ford over the issue.
Turbans are not hats; they are very important religious symbols of the Sikh faith. Sikh soldiers fought and died wearing their turbans. Therefore Sikh veterans and Jewish veterans should be allowed equal access to Canadian legion halls to honour their fallen comrades.
Yesterday was a sad day for religious tolerance and racial understanding in Canada.
National Access Awareness Week
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
David Iftody Provencher, MB
Mr. Speaker, this week marks the seventh anniversary of National Access Awareness Week in Canada.
It is important as legislators in the House to be aware of the needs of the disabled community. When planning community events we must support the establishments that are accessible so that handicapped people can be included.
Inclusion is what National Access Awareness Week is all about: from the ramps to Braille, to traffic lights that alert the blind, to the sign language interpreter who covers question period on the parliamentary channel. We must as legislators always be responsible and aware of the needs and concerns of those who have special requirements, for without those tools we shut out a significant part of our citizenry.
The Late Reine Johnson
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Lucien Bouchard Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, Mrs. Reine Johnson passed away yesterday in Montreal. As the wife of one Quebec premier and the mother of two others, she was the heart and soul of a family that has made a major contribution to politics. Widowed in 1968 upon the death, while in office, of Premier Daniel Johnson Sr., she saw admirably to the education of her two daughters, Diane and Marie, and her two sons, Pierre-Marc and Daniel to whom she passed on the torch of public commitment.
On the death of this great lady whom I had the honour of meeting, how can we not have a moment's thought for the spouses of those who enter the political arena. Every day, they play a vitally important role behind the scenes. They share the trials and experience the harsh blows of political battles, but very rarely do they get the credit they deserve.
Speaking personally and on behalf of the members of the Bloc Quebecois, I want to extend my heartfelt condolences to the current Premier of Quebec, Mr. Daniel Johnson, to my friend Pierre-Marc, and to their sisters, Diane and Marie.
Royal Canadian Legion
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Sharon Hayes Port Moody—Coquitlam, BC
Mr. Speaker, this morning's news carried reports of the Royal Canadian Legion rejecting the proposal to allow turbans. Of the several commentaries I have heard, most condemn this action and once again we hear divisive accusations being hurled by each side.
As a member of the Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration I have spent many days now listening to the varying opinions of experts and non-experts alike. What is our mandate as we review the Citizenship Act? Indeed, what is the mandate of every Canadian citizen as they identify with Canada?
The strength of our country lies in the agreement of all citizens to come together. That is, we ask no citizen to forsake their cultural inheritance but that each accept and give equal value to the cultural freedom of others.
The legion controversy is two sided. No matter what their cultural or religious background, all Canadians should be confident that their values are respected by others.
In this month of the 50th anniversary of the supremely noble sacrifice by many Canadians, let us recognize the freedom to identify and maintain our respective traditions.

Her contribution to political life is important, since she was the wife of a Quebec Premier and the mother of two Quebec Premiers, including the present one, the Hon. Daniel Johnson. We remember her as a lady of great dignity.
On behalf of my colleagues and myself, I would like to offer her whole family, her many friends and all the people of Quebec our sincere condolences.

GM Rolls Out 2014 Chevy Silverado
DETROIT ( TheStreet) -- As it rolls out its new model 2014 Chevrolet Silverado, GM (GM) obviously got the timing right.
What remains to be seen is whether GM got the truck right.
The 2014 Silverado 1500 pickup is being introduced on Thursday, at a time of nearly daily news about the revival of the housing market and the construction industry, the key market for pickup trucks. GM calls its new truck "from hood to hitch, the most refined, best engineered Silverado ever."
The new Silverado features three new EcoTec3 engines, designed for more power and improved efficiency; a stronger, quieter more comfortable cab; revised steering, suspension and brakes; new solutions for managing cargo in the bed, and enhanced towing and hauling capability.
"Our customers rely on their trucks to meet the day-to-day challenges of earning a living, running a business and taking care of their families," said Mark Reuss, president, GM North America, in a prepared statement. "Chevrolet is committed to giving truck customers the most refined, best engineered pickups in the market."
Through 11 months, Silverado is the third best-selling U.S. vehicle, trailing the Ford (F) F-150, the leader for three decades, as well as the Toyota (TM) Camry.
This year, Ford has been easily winning the battle for pickup buyers, particularly in November. GM said its November decline largely reflected high pickup truck incentives by competitors who were clearing out the 2012 models.
In a recent report on the truck market, Edmunds.com noted that truck sales account for 28.6% of all Ford sales, the highest truck share for any automaker, with Ford's share up 1.3 percentage points in the last five years. GM's truck share, meanwhile, is down 1.5 percentage points in the last five years to 22.5%.
Many analysts expect the 2014 Silverado to significantly benefit GM, particularly given the fortuitous timing of its introduction next year.
"When construction gets going, workers need trucks, and many of them have been holding off buying new ones these past few years," said Edmunds.com economist Lacey Plache, in a prepared statement. "Our research shows that America's truck fleet is at a record 10.4 years old. The housing market is showing its most dramatic signs of recovery out west and down south, so we can expect a boost in U.S. truck sales to start there."
The 2014 Silverado builds on 95 years of Chevrolet truck heritage. GM said the exterior design "blends strong Chevy truck heritage with a refined, modern aesthetic" and is "more muscular, more functional and more aerodynamic.
" A twin-port grille, full-width bumper and dual power dome hood create a strong presence, which is carried through in sculpted body sides and fender flares," the automaker said. "The front end is engineered to improve sealing for more efficient cooling, and new inlaid doors reduce wind noise."

Jaime Hernandez: In 2008 or 17 years after these coins were struck, someone was fortunate enough to find one of these coins with a 90 degree rotated die error.
There are other rotated dies known for Commemorative coins but they are all considered very scarce. One of them is the 1989-D Congress Silver dollar which has sold anywhere from $1,000 and up to $4,500. There are estimates of anywhere from 50 to 200 coins existing for the 1989-D Congress Dollar.
However, the 1991-P Korean Dollar is a proof version and proof coins are very unusual with rotated dies. Several experts and dealers in errors were estimating that the coin would bring anywhere from $500 and up. While others beleived it would realize about $2500 or more, especially since it was the only reported example during the time. The same coin was later consigned to Heritage in 2008 and it only sold for $805.
As of 2009 I am personally not aware of any other examples of this error turning up. However, this coin went unnoticed by a collector and the odds are that if one was produced, additional examples should also be out there just waiting to be found.

Yet too often, factions and selfish actions cripple the church, damaging its effectiveness. After hearing of bickering and self-centered conduct in the early church, Paul urged believers to "do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind let each of you regard one another as more important than himself" (Philippians 2:3).
In A Plea for Unity, John MacArthur gives you key reasons many churches never experience true spiritual unity. You'll also discover the characteristics of a truly unified church and learn important principles you can apply to experience genuine unity—the kind of unity that brings peace, joy, and a Sprit-charged effectiveness to your life and church.

Skip to comments.Climate played big role in Vikings disappearance from Greenland
Posted on 05/30/2011 1:12:10 PM PDT by decimon
Greenland's early Viking settlers were subjected to rapidly changing climate. Temperatures plunged several degrees in a span of decades, according to research from Brown University. A reconstruction of 5,600 years of climate history from lakes near the Norse settlement in western Greenland also shows how climate affected the Dorset and Saqqaq cultures. Results appear in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] The end of the Norse settlements on Greenland likely will remain shrouded in mystery. While there is scant written evidence of the colonys demise in the 14th and early 15th centuries, archaeological remains can fill some of the blanks, but not all.
What climate scientists have been able to ascertain is that an extended cold snap, called the Little Ice Age, gripped Greenland beginning in the 1400s. This has been cited as a major cause of the Norses disappearance. Now researchers led by Brown University show the climate turned colder in an earlier span of several decades, setting in motion the end of the Greenland Norse. Their findings appear in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The Brown scientists finding comes from the first reconstruction of 5,600 years of climate history from two lakes in Kangerlussuaq, near the Norse Western Settlement. Unlike ice cores taken from the Greenland ice sheet hundreds of miles inland, the new lake core measurements reflect air temperatures where the Vikings lived, as well as those experienced by the Saqqaq and the Dorset, Stone Age cultures that preceded them.

Cold feat ping.
They shouldn't have been driving around in those SUVs.
Apart from being IMPOSSIBLE because the climate is warming don't you know, this this has been a known fact for a very long time. Greenland - GREENland - used to be warm and now it's not - Duh!
This is on a par with discovering that the sun gives us daylight.
It also played a big role in the creation of The Great Lakes.
So....what they are saying.....is that global warming is going make the Vikings come back and pillage the seacoasts??
Or at least the NFC North.
Bush's fault!
There was no sign in the DNA of any Viking - Inuit mixing.
NS? I read this on the internet 10 years ago.....thank you Brown university....
Ya think?
Yep. I learned it in the fifth grade, 1955. 'Course you and I aren't shooting for government grants.
LOL The land of the Vikings these days are putting out a pack of pussie cats. Hardly likely to attack anything except a man who wants to stop abortions.
What I fail to understand is why so-called intelligent researchers can conclude there were natural and sometimes severe variations in climate the past 2000 years and yet not recognize that the same variations may be naturally occurring today. Yet, they persist in saying humans are responsible for global warming/climate change that may be seen in recent years.
shelia jackson-lee questions disapperance of space probe?
Connecting the dots like a climate scientist.
Brett Favre drove them to extinction..
Aw dang, I was going to post that!
It also played a big role in their disappearance from the Metrodome.
>>This is on a par with discovering that the sun gives us daylight.
That's blasphemy. It's man's "presence" that collectively heats up the earth according to the glo-bull warming alarmists.
No hånky pånky.
so, where's my grant money ?
With all due respect to Brown University, the fate of the Norse settlements in Greenland and the role of climate change in their demise has been documented by Helge and Anne Stine Ingstad (The Viking Discovery of America, Checkmark Books, New York 2001). No doubt also by others. I recall reading, somewhere, that the last wedding ceremony peformed in the Norse church on Greenland occurred on a date somewhat earlier than Columbus' 1492 voyage of exploration.
Tomorrow, the county where I live will set a new record for days in a row without breaking the 70 degree mark if the temperatures do not warm up in the next ten days. We are now at 245 days of below 70 degree weather. From the looks of the forecast, we're on track for that record, we'll be lucky to break 60 degrees. For the most part, Alaska has had warmer temperatures this spring than Whatcom County, WA.
And here I thought it was all because of the Dallas Cowboys :)
I know somewhere in the country there is a "happy medium" but I would be SOOOOO happy with your temperatures.
(Is the /sarc necessary?)
And all along I was thinking I was poor ticket sales.
I've studied this for years and have concluded that its my wife's alarm clock that gives us light. That thing goes off and within minutes I have to roll over and put a pillow over my head because its so bright. It also gets much noisier almost immediately. People screaming "Where's my books?", "Get out of the bathroom!" , etc.
Tonight as an experiment I'm going to unplug the thing and yank the backup battery and prove that I'm right.
I'll ping you once my results are published. ;-)
This was all Bush's fault.
Yup, they travelled hundreds of miles across treacherous seas to sack Britain; they are even reputed to have made the horrifyingly dangerous journey to North America in their little sail boats.
They fought to the death for the privilege of entry into Valhalla.
They could not, however, handle cold weather without their nasal decongestant inhalers.
Okay, got it.

A new study suggests that some Icelanders may be direct descendants of a Native American woman. If this is true, then the Vikings in fact had substantive contact with Native Americans, an unestablished hypothesis until now, and were the first people to bring a Native American to Europe.
The Vikings settled Iceland in the 9th century, and it is now a country of a little fewer than 300,000 people. Since that time, the Icelandic gene pool has remained largely homogenous as a result of long-term isolation. That, combined with Icelands meticulous record keeping of its peoples genealogy, makes studying and verifying Icelanders genetic make-up an alluring draw to researchers interested in genetic studies.
One such researcher recently published a study in the American Journal of Physical Anthropology, analyzing the DNA of Icelanders to determine that a mysterious . . . . DNA sequence (that we name the C1e lineage). . . , carried by more than 80 Icelanders, can be traced through the female line to four ancestors born in Iceland around 1700. There is good reason to believe that the C1e lineage arrived in Iceland several hundreds of years before 1700.
The C1e lineage can be found in both Native Americans and East Asian populations. However, it is more than likely that the C1e lineage found in Icelanders is linked to Native Americans and that this link was created as far back as the year 1000 A.D. when the Vikings settled in Newfoundland.
Hånky pånky.

Maybe a little Hokey Pokey too.
Høkey Pøkey.
Maybe Hokey, but no Pokey?...
No doubt those wimpy Vikings took their cue from all the starving Eskimos....
No no no, it isn't your wife's alarm clock that brings the sun. It is my cat! He meows for breakfast and voila! he brings the daylight.
We shall see - its unplugged so y'all can sleep in tomorrow! ;-)
The Saqqaq, mentioned in the article, their mans closest living relatives are the Chukchis, people who live at the easternmost tip of Siberia.
