Skip to comments.To stop gangs, call the Scouts
Posted on 06/02/2007 9:35:35 PM PDT by Coleus
The city should encourage philanthropic institutions that make the cultivation of positive values their core mission. A brigade of Boy Scout troops throughout Boyle Heights and Watts would do more to teach boys the importance of persistence, hard work and respect for authority than 1,000 social service and gang-intervention workers ever could. By giving youth a positive moral code, the Scouts and similar civic groups can reclaim lives and replace gang culture with true achievement.

There is no way the Democrats are going to support an organization that doesn't allow fags to prey upon boys.
Good Post.
Scouting knows that it can make a contribution. http://www.scouting.org/media/reports/2003/scoutreach.html. Too bad the anti-religious socialists hate scouting so much.
Boy Scouts are a great way to teach boys how to be good Young Men. The left hates that, they would rather keep everyone like children
Ironic that the Democrats demonized a homosexual in the Congress (Foley) for being a "sexual predator" even though he did not have sex with minors (contrary to the original reports that the media had in their mitts for a year) and then during all of the bruhaha they celebrated a deceased Democrat WHO DID engage in sex with a minor while in office. They championed him as a homosexual pioneer.
Their support of gay scout masters is one of politics, not principle.
That's why I will never, ever give money to the United Way again!
The BOY SCOUTS ! Isn't that the archaic group who try to instill decency and values in the lives of boys. Come on this is 2007,who the hell needs the Boy Scouts ???
Scouting makes a real difference in the lives of boys who have no strong paternal influence - I have seen it personally in the lives of my Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts, many of whom did not have a father living at home.
I will never give a dime to the United Way ever again. My money goes directly to the Boy Scouts, and outside of the Salvation Army, it is one of the few organizations I actively support with my money and time.
Scouting works wonders!
"For food, for raiment, for life, for opportunity, for friendship and fellowship, we thank Thee, O Lord. Amen."
I will never give a dime to the United Way
We converse again dandelion. NO QUESTION this org. (United Way) is liberal too the max.I wouldn't give this group 10 cents if their lives depended on it !!!
People need to realize how completely useless United Way is. Nothing but a money-sucking middle man. Give your money directly to your choice of charities, and United Way goes away, as it should. It is nothing but a self-serving parasite.
I wonder how many people who give to the United Way realize how much corruption they have been involved in? Their group has been indicted a number of times for embezzlement and I DO believe they're tied in with the United Nations in a number of scams !!!
Did they mention allowing the police department to arrest known gang members who are illegal aliens BEFORE they kill, rob or assault others? Remember that being here illegally IS A CRIME in itself????????
Did they also mention that you shouldnt fire or penalize members of the LAPD for doing their job if you want gangs and crime reduced???
Not likely.

This is a high-quality product. I have a challenge paying attention to what works and doesn't work in my body, so giving details on a product is hard.

In addition to the "standard deglycyrrhized licorice extract root 250mg" you will see that this product also contains 225 mg of raw licorice powder which is not deglycyrrhized. This is therefore only half deglycyhrrized and therefore potentially misrepresented by the packaging/labelling.

I was diagnosed with a hiatal hernia and it was suggested that I take an over-the-counter product. Since I was against a medication, I decided to look into what the on-line site for hiatal hernias suggested. When I read about DGL, I decided to try the product and this was my second order. I am delighted with the results and extremely pleased not to be taking a medication.

Ecosystems can recover from all sorts of abuse, and coral reefs are no exception.relationship can be surprisingly fragile if corals are exposed to high light conditions at the same time as above-normal water temperatures, because the algae produce toxic levels of oxygen, and excessive levels of oxygen are toxic to most animal life. Under these conditions, corals must expel the zooxanthellae, bleach, and probably die or succumb to the toxin and definitely die. A tough choice, one they have not had to make at any time in their long genetic history.
The potential consequences of ocean acidification are nothing less than catastrophic.The ultimate culprit is still CO2 but the mechanism is very different.
What were once thriving coral gardens that supported the greatest biodiversity will become red-black bacterial slime.not just for a few tens of thousands of years, but for millions of years — long after adverse climatic conditions may have returned to benign levels. One of the characteristics of acidification is that while it can be initiated by high CO2 levels over relatively short periods, there are no short-term geochemical fixes to reverse the process. Reversal can take place only through the immensely slow weathering and dissolution processes of geological time, processes that take hundreds of thousands to millions of years.

Home to the famous Chocolate Hills and tarsiers, this lush island province has become a favorite for nature-lovers and thrill-seekers.
Bohol is home to the post-card famous Chocolate Hills and tarsiers. While tourists continue to visit this island province to see these attractions, it has also gained popularity for its off-the-beaten-path adventure and ecotourism offerings. Untouched white-sand beaches, natural sanctuaries, diving sites, caves, waterfalls, and rice terraces all add to the natural grandeur of Bohol.
- The name Bohol came from a place called "Bool", where the blood compact or "Sandugo" between Datu Sikatuna and Miguel Lopez de Legaspi transpired.
- It is believed that the Boholanos are descendants of the Pintados or "tattooed ones," which are said to be the last native inhabitants of the Philippines before the colonial era.
Travelers' Attractions
- Bohol is a good destination for ecotours and nature sports. The famous Chocolate Hills, the elusive tarsier, and the Loboc River are among the attractions that can be viewed during a quick sightseeing trip from the capital city. In addition to its wide range of resorts, the popular Panglao Island and other small islands off Bohol's coast also offer watersports and activities such as diving and dolphin-watching.
- Bohol is also home to a number of notable man-made structures such as old Hispanic churches and watch towers. The Baclayon Church, which is dubbed as the oldest church in the country, may be found here.
- Pastries and other local treats such as broas, ube, and kalamay are popular Bohol pasalubong items.
Getting there and away
- It takes approximately 25 minutes to get to Tagbilaran from Manila by plane. Cebu Pacific, Philippine Airlines, and Zest Airways offer regular flights to Tagbilaran.
- By sea, it takes about 25 hours to reach Tagbilaran. Superferry offers connecting trips to Tagbilaran via Cebu.

"What we need to do is always lean into the future. When the world changes around you and when it changes against you—what used to be a tail wind is now a head wind—you have to lean into that and figure out what to do because complaining isn't a strategy. "
Importing an Aircraft
Once upon a time, the vast majority of business jets were owned and operated in the U.S., but that's changing. Residents of other countries represent an ever-growing segment of the market, and the business of buying and selling corporate jets is increasingly international. In fact, a majority of factory-new aircraft these days are delivered outside the U.S.
As a result, for American buyers, the purchase of an aircraft on a foreign registry no longer constitutes an unusual event; on the contrary, it has become almost commonplace. Nevertheless, it's often more expensive, and certainly more work, to import an aircraft from overseas than it is to buy one that is U.S.-based and -registered, so the underlying business deal has to be good enough to make it worthwhile for both buyer and seller.
If you're an American who is contemplating the purchase of a foreign-registered aircraft, keep in mind that the country of registration is in many ways less important than where the airplane is based, maintained and used. Suppose you're considering acquisition of a jet registered in notorious Corruptionland. If the aircraft was based and maintained in Corruptionland, that country's reputation may be a valid concern. On the other hand, if it was based in Switzerland, maintained by a world-class facility like Jet Aviation–Basel, spent most of its time flying back and forth to the U.S. and has logbooks in English instead of Corruptionese, the Corruptionland registration may be of little consequence.
In sum, the level of "due diligence" required when purchasing a foreign aircraft is much greater. First, you should employ local counsel in the country of registration and/or where the aircraft is based to help uncover any liens and to make sure you obtain clear title. In Italy, for example, regulations require publication of advance notice of the sale to give lienholders a chance to collect. Local counsel may also be crucial in arranging the mechanics of closing. (For instance, such counsel may need to act as the closing agent.) Second, you should determine where the aircraft regularly traveled. If it made frequent trips to company facilities in India and Sweden, for example, you may want to order lien searches in those countries to avoid encountering undischarged liens the next time you fly there on the aircraft. Better yet, consider buying title insurance that covers all relevant jurisdictions. Third, as with any aircraft, arrange for a thorough prepurchase evaluation—if possible, at a factory-authorized service center in the U.S. If necessary, have foreign-language maintenance logs and records translated into English.
Probably the most important player in importing an airplane into the U.S. is the Designated Airworthiness Representative, or DAR. The DAR is a maintenance technician authorized by the FAA to provide aircraft with an airworthiness certificate from that agency. DARs are located all over the world. When purchasing the imported airplane, you register it in the U.S. by filing paperwork with the U.S. aircraft registry in Oklahoma. For the registration to be valid, you must satisfy FAA requirements, such as its tests for being a U.S. citizen. However, to fly the aircraft once it's on U.S. registry you need something more: an airworthiness certificate. That's where the DAR comes in. As part of the prepurchase evaluation, you should have a DAR review the aircraft to determine whether it satisfies requirements for an airworthiness certificate. (The DAR may require an annual inspection to be accomplished as part of the process.) You should also arrange for the DAR to be standing by to issue the certificate following closing.
Many buyers assume that obtaining an export certificate of airworthiness from the country of registration accomplishes the same thing. However, in my experience, DARs often regard the export certificate as an expensive irrelevancy; they still want to conduct their own review of the aircraft and its records to determine compliance with U.S. requirements. Check with your DAR about whether an export certificate is necessary or helpful and whether the exporting country will require any other approvals or paperwork. In any event, the aircraft purchase agreement should be clear about whether buyer or seller is responsible for correcting discrepancies in order to obtain an airworthiness certificate.
Before the DAR actually signs the airworthiness certificate, the aircraft must be U.S.-registered, with foreign markings replaced by U.S. markings and transponders re-strapped to reflect U.S. registration. (Essentially, the aircraft should be in condition where it could take off five minutes after receiving the airworthiness certificate.) This, in turn, requires that the airplane be de-registered from the foreign registry—at which point it becomes an immobile "aircraft without a country" until it receives a U.S. registration and airworthiness certificate. For this reason, the seller is extremely unlikely to allow the aircraft to be de-registered until the purchase price and all required paperwork are placed in escrow along with irrevocable instructions to move forward with a closing as soon as de-registration is confirmed. The situation is even more complex where an aircraft lienholder insists on being paid off before the aircraft is de-registered.
International transactions are subject to their own taxes and fees. For example, you can purchase an aircraft (and obtain U.S. registration and airworthiness certificate) while it's in the European Union (EU) without incurring the dreaded VAT (value-added tax), about 20 percent of the purchase price. But to avoid the tax, you generally have to export the aircraft promptly from the EU. When the jet comes back to the U.S., you'll have to "clear" customs to import the aircraft into the U.S. None of this is either terribly complicated or expensive—unless you don't do it right.
The location of the aircraft at closing highlights an especially cumbersome feature of international aircraft transactions: the demonstration flight. Any business jet buyer should fly in an aircraft before committing to buy it. (See my article on demo flights in BJT's October/November 2008 issue.) Suppose the aircraft you're acquiring is based in Milan and you're in Dallas. You and the seller might get lucky—maybe you have a trip to Italy or the aircraft has a trip to Texas—but, otherwise, the mountain has to come to Mohammad or vice versa. Few buyers are enthusiastic about spending the time to travel across the globe to fly in an aircraft, and few sellers are enthusiastic about sending their aircraft across the globe for a demo, even if the buyer agrees to pay some or all of the cost of doing so. It may help to coordinate the demo flight with positioning the aircraft to the U.S. for the prepurchase inspection, but one way or another, long and expensive flights will be involved.
Buying an aircraft for import into the U.S. can be complex, expensive and time-consuming, but with the help of professionals, it may result in acquiring the right aircraft.
Importing a Business Jet: The Closing Sequence
• Buyer reserves a U.S. registration number for the aircraft
• Escrow agent verifies that all required paperwork and the purchase amount are in escrow
• Seller de-registers the aircraft from seller's country of registration
• FAA (or Oklahoma City escrow agent) receives proper notice of de-registration
• Escrow agent files the bill of sale, registration application and other closing documents with FAA
• FAA issues a flight wire indicating the aircraft is now U.S.-registered
• Upon confirmation that foreign markings have been replaced with U.S. markings and the transponders have been re-strapped, DAR issues an airworthiness certificate
I own a Tecnam Sierra and will be relocating to the USA during October 2013. I plan to send my Tecnam in a container to Atlanta during this month. Do I need any special permission to do that?
Kind regards

Developing business
The progress of Webster City Economic Development through several years and their customer satisfaction was presented by director David Toyer at the Monday meeting of the Webster City city council.
Webster City Economic Development is a function of the city, but is viewed as the city's brand rather than an entity, according to Toyer. He said many projects get input from local business and organizations. Economic Development also does business development work for the city's electric utility and provides input on issues that affect businesses and future development.
During his presentation, Toyer discussed the number of prospective businesses that were interested in and visited Webster City in 2012 and in previous years. Last year, there were 25 prospective new business projects. Of those, six businesses visited prospective sites in Webster City. That number is up from five prospects an no site visits in 2010 and from 2011 where there were 14 prospects and two site visits.
Toyer described the process that a business takes when it looks for prospective new locations. In one instance, a business looked at 300 communities initially. After research, that number was whittled down to 12, with only three communities visited.
"When you look at that, you realize we're kind of at the tip of the iceberg and there's all this other stuff that's going on that no one else is seeing," Toyer said.
Among the prospective businesses that looked at Webster City, 10 were manufacturing, six were retail or restaurants and four were food manufacturing.
Toyer also presented the results of a survey sent out by Economic Development. Of the nine respondents, all were positive and said their most helpful service was marketing. Councilman Geary Meyer thanked Toyer and Economic Development for their work, noting the increase in business visits to Webster City.
"I think it's kind of important to note that various economic development entities in the state have got us pretty well up towards the top of their most favorable status lists," Meyer said.
Political signs
The council approved a modified section of the city's ordinances pertaining to signs after its second hearing. The ordinance says that political signs shall not be placed within the right-of-way, street or public grounds. Those signs may be displayed 45 days before the vote and must be removed within seven days after the vote, with the exception that signs from primary elections do not need to be removed until that seven day period after the vote. Those signs can also be no larger than four square feet using one or both sides and a property can have a total of 20 square feet of signage, using one or both sides, on their premises.
Sadler said that the exception for signs posted during the primary political season are aligned with Iowa's political values.
"I think, for a state that prides itself on being the first caucus, it's obvious that we needed to allow campaign signs prior to the caucuses for people to express their opinions," Sadler said.
City attorney Gary Groves said that, through research, he had determined that the ordinance was legally sound because the city has reasonable regulation and has a basis for it.
"I think from the standpoint of legality of what we're trying to do here, we are not in violation of the first amendment freedom of speech and being able to exercise it," Groves said.
Archery Club
During time for public input, Jared Zimmer, vice president of the Border Brigade Archery Club, asked council members for an update on his club's request for city sponsorship. The club had asked the city for assistance in filing for nonprofit status so they could request grant money from the Enhance Hamilton County Foundation. Zimmer said he had not received any notice of the council's decision.
Groves said he was concerned about sponsoring the group. He had no official opinion at the council meeting, but said he was concerned about setting a precedent of the city sponsoring such a group.
Zimmer said he has since found out that the club can file for nonprofit status by itself. However, that process would take 90 days and they would not be a nonprofit group until after the deadline for Enhance Hamilton County grants.
Water Shortage
City manager Ed Sadler spoke about news he has seen of a possible water shortage in parts of Iowa. He said communities in Iowa that get their water supply from ground water are anticipating shortages even if the drought lessens.
Sadler said that he wanted to reassure people in Webster City that the community will not be affected by that shortage as the city gets water from deep ground water wells. Those wells are about 2,000 feet deep, and the city is in the process of drilling a new well. The aquifer the city uses comes goes as far as Canada, and the city maintains three wells at a time.
Other business
The council set dates for a couple public hearings during their meeting. A hearing for 2013-2014 through 2017-2018 capital improvement plan was set for Feb. 18 at 7:15 p.m. A hearing for the proposed 2013-2014 budget was set for Feb. 18 at 7:20 p.m.
The council also approved several renewals for alcohol permits, established depositories for the city and financial institutions and approved a motion to request bids to obtain a new skid steer loader with bucket for the electric line and substation department.

"This is without doubt the blackest day in the history of Brussels Airport. "
Charter Service Debuts in India
Thursday, March 1, 2012 - 3:00pm
Invision Air has launched a charter service in India, using a pair of Embraer Phenom 100 very light jets. The company says it has four more Phenom 100s on order as well as six Phenom 300 light jets, the first of which is to be delivered in the middle of this year. The company bills itself as an "entry-level" business jet service and claims its flights cost "only two to four times last-minute business-class fares." Invision Air–which plans to offer jet cards and a program for aircraft owners in addition to charter–is part of the 17-year-old Invision Group, which is active in the telecom and marine and aviation safety industries in India.

Makeup Must-Have - The Q-Tip
One of the most inexpensive must have items in my makeup kit is the Q-tip. I use them for makeup all the time! The cotton applicator and pointed shape make it perfect for cleaning up lines and makeup smudges. I prefer using Q-Tip...not generic cotton swabs. Yes, this does make a difference. Q-Tips have much more cotton on the tip which make it safer for use. You can definitely tell the difference.
Here are a few uses (that I do on a regular basis!):
-Clean up the outer v of eyeshadow giving it a precise line
-Use it after filling in your eyebrows, a few swipes above and below the brow perfect the shape. Did you go overboard filling in the brows with too much color? Swipe the swab a few times over the brow to lessen the effect.
-Clean up any smudges underneath the lower lashline...I often do this because I smudge shadow onto my lower lashline and a lot of times I need to thin it out.
-Use it to clean up around the mouth when you're going for a strong lip color. A must have for the perfect red lip.
-Use it to smudge eyeliner for a smokey eye.
-Use a q-tip to apply pimple cream right on the tip of the zit...it makes it a lot more precise and sanitary. I love doing this with my Mario Badescu drying cream.
-Clean up nail polish around the fingernail edges. Makes your nails look salon done!
Those are only a few of the many uses.
Recently, Q-Tip launched their new super cute vanity packs. Suggested retail price is $3.19 for this beautifully decorated box of 285 cotton swabs. You no longer need to stash away this must have item in a drawer or linen closet. These vibrant vanity packs come in a range of colors that can match your colors and fit nicely on your vanity or right next to your bathroom sink.
Look how cute!
It has a slide out drawer housing the q-tips.
They come in many different colors. This is an amazing idea when you think about it. I usually always spend at least $10 just to buy a fancy schmancy q-tip holder for my bathroom counter. This is a great alternative. I'm pretty sure you can use this box after you're done with q-tips to hold other makeup items and necessities. Check them out at your local drug store.
Ciao Bellas!

Nobody Looks for you in Mexico - Page 4
I packed the jalopy-rental while Jon continued sweating through an end-of-the-week Spanish exam. The travel plan, we had agreed, would be made up as we went along. The American doctor conducting Jon's medical course suggested the colorful town of Bernal as a stopping point before continuing south. "Quaint," he called it. Jon's guidebook used the same word. After driving for a couple hours, we pulled into town.
A 1200-foot igneous monolith loomed over the shoulder of the otherwise sleepy village, serving as a dramatic backdrop. In the small, central plaza old men sat and talked beneath a canopy of shade trees. Birds perched above chirped through the afternoon. Occasionally, a man on horseback would approach the plaza proudly displaying the beast beneath him. Our afternoon run led us on a failed attempt to circumnavigate the large volcanic tower. A fine, dirt trail brought us halfway around the monolith, where it ended abruptly and forced us to return, rocks in hand, from whence we came.
"'Quaint' means that you can buy knick-knacks and sleep in a cheap, sagging bed," Jon said.
"No, it means that the streets will be cobblestone, and the walls will be orange and red," I replied.
"That too."
The debate carried on until we found ourselves back at the hostel, where the portly owner greeted us with a smile and asked about our run. He didn't express surprise when we told him about the miles that we had covered or the many more that we had planned to cover in the upcoming days. My many excursions into Mexico have taught me that Mexicans understand running. This is an important cultural distinction when you enter a crowded plaza wearing nothing but short shorts and running shoes.
Though the Tarahumaran Indians of northern Mexico have captured the attention of the running world in recent years, thanks in large part to Christopher McDougall's book, Born to Run, it is Mexico City and her many surrounding suburbs that have birthed the gross majority of the country's greatest runners and the surrounding mountains that have forged them into world-class athletes.
Though top Mexican runners have only been on the stage since about the time of the 1968 Mexico City Olympics, when the country brought in international coaches to train some of the more promising distance runners, the sport is ingrained into Mexico's culture dating from pre-Columbian times.
Amongst the Aztecs there existed a lower caste of people, the tameme, meaning messenger or porter. In a culture that hadn't yet invented the wheel and in a land that was void of large hauling-animals, everything from messages and sacks of corn to the Sacred Flame was delivered by the tameme. An intricate network of trails connected Tenochtitlan (modern day Mexico City) with every corner of the Aztec Empire. The Emperor's kitchen, it was told, enjoyed the luxury of fresh fish from the Gulf of Mexico, 240 miles away. Today, there are Mexicans who proudly trace their lineage back to the hard-working and light-footed tameme.
Though the owner of the hostel was not a runner himself, it was a matter of fact that running is simply a way of getting around … faster than walking.
On leaving Bernal the following morning we decided to bypass Mexico City and her 21-million inhabitants to encounter the conical volcano, La Malinche, rising above the field-burning haze present throughout most of the country.
One can't help but admire the simplicity and perfection of a volcano from afar. It is the first mountain a child learns to draw—two lines meeting upwardly at a point. It is the centerpiece of legends. Mexico's sixth-highest mountain, La Malinche (14,636 feet) was named for the conflicted, young and beautiful Aztec woman, who was first brought to Conquistador Hernán Cortéz as a slave. Later, she acted as a translator, advisor and, finally, lover to Cortéz, bearing his first child, Martín, who is believed to be the first true Mestizo.

Pet peeves —?Readers speak out
In November, a "Did You Know" article began with the assumption that every driver had his/her pet peeves about other drivers, and ran off several of my pet peeves to try to get some attention to this subject.
At the end of the article, I asked readers to email or call me with their pet peeves with the intention of running them in a future article. Although I didn't get an overwhelming response, I did receive enough for a follow-up article. So, here are the responses that I received from you, the readers:
"I have a 40-minute round trip commute every day from Tupper Lake to Saranac Lake. In the winter, the drivers form a big line (I call it a train) to Saranac Lake and every hill, they all slam on their brakes, causing a chain reaction where everyone almost rear ends each other."
"I don't understand why folks feel the need to slam on their brakes when someone pulls out to pass them when there is no oncoming traffic and plenty of room to pass."
"People that drive 45 to 50 and see the line of traffic that forms behind them and don't pull over. I encounter these people more than not on my commute. I feel they create a more dangerous road problem than any speeder."
"My pet peeve is when driving down a street or highway, someone pulls out directly in front of me, causing me to hit the brakes to avoid hitting them."
"My pet peeve is all the people who do not know about the Safe Drivers' classes.
They are missing the insurance discount and the safe driving tips are well worth the time and money. We learn something every time we go, ie. adjusting the mirrors to eliminate blind spots."
"My pet peeve is people not turning right on red when they can … and people who don't keep to the right."
"This is one of my pet peeves. Someone will pull off a side road right in front of me – drive at 20 MPH to the next intersection then pull off on a side road. I hope their schedule was that important.
Take the (right of way) when you have it – don't wave an oncoming vehicle to turn left before you proceed ahead.
My pet peeve is tailgaters. Over the last several years, I have made note of tailgaters and found the majority of tailgaters are women, almost all of which are young women. This has caused me to reflect, 'Show me a tailgater, I'll show you a woman under 40.' Although I have not kept numerical percentages I am confident in my overall observations."
"My pet peeve is when people stop in the traffic lane when they have the right of way to let others, particularly buses, pull out in front of them or cross in front of them.
I have also seen many school buses stop in traffic to let other buses pull in front of them. This happens often on the Pearl Street hill going toward downtown, where a bus going down the hill will stop on the slippery hill, and make cars behind them stop so buses crossing the four corners can go first even though the bus going down the hill has the right of way and does not need to stop at all before turning right to the school."
I want to thank everyone that responded. To me, these are all valid gripes. I wouldn't doubt that many of these are peeves of most drivers, at least to some degree. If you forgot to respond and have another peeve that really bothers you, let me know. I could still do another article sometime in the future.

3M is proud to help all drivers compete at a higher level.
A member of one of stock-car racing's most storied families and already a second-generation NASCAR champion, Chase Elliott will take the wheel of the iconic Hendrick Motorsports No. 24 Chevrolet in 2016 and embark on his anticipated rookie season in the elite Sprint Cup Series.
In 2014, Elliott all but guaranteed his ascension to the top level of the sport by winning the NASCAR XFINITY Series title to become the youngest champion in series history (18 years, 11 months and 18 days). He became the first competitor in any NASCAR national series to win a championship, rookie of the year and most popular driver honors in the same season. In 2016, he became the youngest driver in NASCAR history to win pole position at the Daytona 500.
Elliott has followed in the footsteps of his father, NASCAR Hall of Famer and 1988 Sprint Cup champion Bill Elliott, in possessing a natural ability behind the wheel, a tireless work ethic and strong sense of giving back to his community.
From design to production, safety to speed, visibility to upkeep—3M has played a key role in the success of NASCAR teams for almost two decades. Whether it's abrasives, masking products, adhesives, sealers, compounds and glazes, body fillers and respirators, more than 80 of our products and technologies are used in the construction and maintenance of Sprint Cup Series race cars, every race.

Do I get credit for a winning streak?
Ouch, no game thread. This is awful. I didn't even realize they were playing because there wasn't one.
Oh, we won 101-93.
This must be what it is like to write for a newspaper... I didnt watch it and all I know is the score. 5 in double digits and 9 with 7+ points, appear as if it was a team effort.

The bottom line on eating before exercise.
Q: Can exercising on an empty stomach help me burn more fat during my workout? A: Popular fitness books over the past decade have advocated the idea that exercising on an empty stomach forces the body to dip into fat stores for fuel instead of the carbohydrates readily available from a pre-workout meal or snack. But research shows that exercising in this way doesn�t offer any benefit, and may even work against you. A review of years of research on the subject published in Strength and Conditioning Journal concluded that the body burns roughly the same amount of fat regardless of whether you eat before a workout. But you�re likely to lose muscle by exercising in a depleted state, the report found, and without fuel to aid the workout, exercise intensity and overall calorie burn will be reduced. One of the studies reviewed in that report showed that about 10 percent of the calories burned by cyclists who trained with nothing in their stomachs came from protein, including lost muscle. �SARI GREAVES, Sharecare.com expert, Registered dietitian, registered nurse Nutrition Director, Step Ahead Weight Loss Center, New York Go back to All the Answers, September 2013 CLICK HERE �TO CHECK OUT ALL THE ANSWERS ARCHIVE Brought to you by: Spry Living

Can I report alimony I paid?
If you paid alimony, this may be an additional deduction on your return. These payments can usually be used to reduce your income.
Generally, alimony payments you make under a divorce or separation instrument are deductible if certain requirements are met. All of the following requirements must be met:
* The payment is in cash.
* The instrument does not designate the payment as not alimony
* The spouses are not members of the same household at the time the payments are made. This requirement applies only if the spouses are legally separated under a decree of divorce or separate maintenance.
* There is no liability to make any payment (in cash or property) after the death of the recipient spouse.
* The payment is not treated as child support.
However, alimony payment must meet certain requirements. Different requirements generally apply to payments executed after 1984 and to payments under instruments executed before 1985. For more information, please see IRS Publication 504.
Any payments not required by such a decree or agreement do not qualify as deductible alimony payments.
Not all payments under a divorce or separation instrument are alimony. Alimony does not include:
* Child support
* Noncash property settlements
* Payments that are your spouse's part of community income
* Community Property
* Payments to keep up the payer's property
* Use of the payer's property
I received alimony payments. When do I have to claim this on my return?

Rock Creek Tavern
Irish Sundays
Elizabeth Nicholson & Bob Soper
6 p.m.
All ages until 10 p.m.
Elizabeth Nicholson & Bob Soper
Irish harp, North Indian sarod, Greek bouzouki, Middle Eastern and African percussion, Irish and Appalachian fiddle, folk guitar and harmony vocals--no one has ever been able to reach a final tally on just how many instruments Elizabeth Nicholson and Bob Soper play, or how many cultures influence their music. Duo partners for seven years, they also share the dual role of fronting the critically acclaimed international roots quintet Stringed Migration. Their music has been hailed as "performed with the sort of resonance that separates masters from neophytes" (Jerome Clark, rambles.net, 2009), and has been featured on NPR's The Thistle and Shamrock, The Midnight Special, and hundreds of other radio programs worldwide.
Considered among the top American interpreters of Irish traditional music for harp, Elizabeth Nicholson's harp studies have also included classical, Paraguayan, and medieval music, and she has stretched the traditional boundaries of the instrument into rock music and country blues. Her 2006 CD of traditional and original music, Sink or Swim was released to widespread critical praise and international airplay, and was chosen "Folk Album of the Month" on Iowa Public Radio.
Bob Soper is counted among Portland's most astonishingly versatile multi-instrumentalists. A rock and jazz drummer from a young age who also studied classical Indian music at the Ali Akbar College, he went on to learn the Irish fiddle, ultimately becoming one the Northwest's most sought-after players. Also an accomplished guitarist, bouzouki player and vocalist, he's been a member of some of the region's most beloved and successful ensembles, including the Irish bands C'l an T' and Grafton Street, as well as the old-time/country-blues group The Pagan Jug Band.

Community Chambers Restructured For Improvement
In the past several months, several Community Chambers in Chautauqua County have been in the process of transformation. New coordinators have been hired and in some cases boards of directors have been reformed to breathe new life into our Community Chambers of Commerce.
Each of the six Community Chambers (Dunkirk, Fredonia, Hanover, Jamestown, Mayville-Chautauqua, and Westfield-Barcelona,) has its own board of directors, and the presidents of each board sit on the Board of Directors of the Chautauqua County Chamber. The Community Chambers are affiliated with the County Chamber through the Community Chamber Development Corporation, which acts as fiscal agent for all six local entities.
These are exciting times for the Community Chambers. With a renewed focus on board development and with local coordinators serving them in new ways, each community will have the resources it needs to provide enhanced service to Chamber members and to run meaningful events and projects. This includes opportunities for growth such as the expansion of the Dunkirk Farmers Market, which was operated this past summer by the Dunkirk Community Chamber for the first time.
In addition, because of their affiliation with the Chautauqua County Chamber, each Community Chamber has the opportunity to improve its website presence and to market its projects and events to a wider audience.
We believe that these changes will enhance our Five Point Focus: driving foot traffic into local businesses; increasing sales and reducing costs for members; containing health insurance costs through pro-active solutions; advocating for positive change with a focus on reducing taxes; and supporting economic, workforce, and tourism development.
Often, leadership builds from the ground up. With our six Community Chambers of Commerce helping to lead the way, we will continue to make Chautauqua County an attractive place to live, work, and do business.
The Dunkirk Community Chamber of Commerce will honor a number of businesses during its Annual Luncheon on Wednesday, Jan. 16.
Add Lumber is being recognized as Business of the Year. Community Service recipients are Doctors James and Irene Strychalski of Lake Shore Orthodontics & Oral Surgery. The New Member award is going to Rookies on the Lake, while the Continued Years of Service Award will be presented to Kirk's Jewelers & Gifts Inc. A Special Recognition Award will go to Jamestown Community College.
The Annual Luncheon will be held in the Bayside Ballroom at the Clarion Hotel, 30 Lake Shore Drive East, starting at 11:30 a.m. Tickets are $20 each for this event. All current and future members of the Dunkirk Community Chamber of Commerce are welcome to attend.
You can register now by calling the Chamber office in Dunkirk at 366-6200 or by visiting the events calendar on the Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce website at www.chautauquachamber.org.
Many of us start a new year with a fitness goal, and for those enrolled in Univera health insurance products through the Chamber of Commerce Bright Choices exchange, you may have an extra incentive to get or stay in shape this year – cash back.
ActiveUnivera is a rewards program that makes it easy to receive cash back for simple healthy lifestyle decisions. You can earn up to $1,000 per family, or $500 for an individual, each year just for doing healthy things that fit into your daily routine; things like working in the yard, taking the stairs instead of the elevator, or walking the dog. You simply track your healthy activities through the ActiveUnivera portal.
To learn more, visit www.univerahealthcare.com and click the link for ActiveRewards. It's easy to get started and you can get cash back just for working to meet your fitness goals this year.
The Chamber of Commerce partners with Liazon, which offers the Bright Choices exchange to provide health insurance and other employee benefit products to our members. Liazon is moving to an electronic e-statement billing platform, effective March 1, 2013, and is imposing a new charge for paper billing starting with that billing cycle. Employers will be assessed a $2 charge for each paper monthly invoice. Liazon has been including this message on its billing notices since November.
This is a Liazon billing decision. In order to avoid the additional charge, members are encouraged to sign up for Liazon's E-Statement system. Liazon representatives will be contacting clients to let them know how to make this change. For more information, please call Liazon's billing office directly at 866-606-4042 with any questions or concerns.

This decision provides Pacific Gas and Electric Company, San Diego Gas & Electric Company, and Southern California Edison Company with the guidance needed to file Smart Grid Deployment Plans with this Commission by July 1, 2011. As the Commission stated in Decision (D.) 09-09-029, modernizing the electric grid with additional two-way communications, sensors and control technologies, key components of a Smart Grid, can lead to substantial benefits for consumers. A Smart Grid can enable the integration of higher levels of renewable energy, energy storage, and, eventually, electric vehicles, at a lower cost to consumers. A Smart Grid can also empower consumers by helping them understand and control their energy use, thereby facilitating their participation in demand response programs and helping them to use energy more efficiently. Greater monitoring and automated controls can also reduce the frequency and duration of outages. Many of the advantages of a Smart Grid will contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. It is imperative that Smart Grid investments deliver these benefits to the utilities' customers.

NO doubt, man. CHILLING stuff, indeed. And--I can't BELIEVE here Today is 20 years old. (TOW, coming off of Macca II, and reuniting him with Martin, was an awesome thing at the time. And---here Today, was, and is my fave song of many on that album.)
I also want to point out that the high notes in Maybe Im Amazed were so good it was scary. That DVD/CD cant come any faster! NOV 19th--get here!! ANd...
According to my songbook, the high note on MIA is "only woman who can EVER help me . . ." - the EVER is a top F, the second F above middle C. Impressive.

Stuart Hamm's 10 greatest bass albums of all time
"First, a disclaimer: There was a time in my musical career when I stopped listening to other bass players. In my quest to craft my own individual voice on the instrument, I simply tuned out as many players as possible.
"Those days, of course, were long ago, and I've since caught up with all the greats. (Truth be told, part of the reason I asked Jeff Berlin and Billy Sheehan to join the BX3 Tour was so I could steal as many of their licks and ideas as possible!)
"No discussion of influential bass albums should fail to include the work of Billy Sheehan. But I initially became aware of him during my 'self-imposed influence-celibacy,' and as a result, I didn't spend much time listening to his first band, Talas.
"Similarly, it would be negligent not to name recordings featuring Jeff Berlin or Marcus Miller and those bassists who came after me, such as Victor Wooten, Flea and Les Claypool, among many others. When you get right down to it, the list is endless and entirely subjective. So, what I have assembled for my 'top 10 greatest bass albums of all time' are those records that influenced me when I was a wee lad in the order that I heard them. In that way, it's something of a diary, my own personal bass journey. Enjoy!"
First up: Yes - Fragile
Yes - Fragile (1971)
"Without a doubt, this is the album that made me want to become a musician and bass player.
"Starting with Roundabout and the groove from South Side Of The Sky, Chris Squire's playing caught my attention in a way that nothing else had before. With The Fish, I was hooked (pun intended) - it was my first exposure to bass harmonics.
"The polyrhythm of Long Distance Runaround and the intensity of Heart Of The Sunrise…wow! Squire's bright, clear but this-close-to-distorted tone defines an era for me and continues to inspire."
Listen: Yes - Roundabout (1971)
The Who - Live At Leeds (1970)
"My older brother played lots of Who records, and I did see the Woodstock movie before I discovered Yes and Chris Squire. But when I heard Live At Leeds, my ears opened in a new way.
"John Entwistle's melodic yet busy playing style was my first inkling of how a bass could function differently in a band while still holding down the low end and harmonic motion. It was a much more defined sound and active both harmonically and rhythmically.
"The mix on Live At Leads is very generous to the bass - panned hard left, it's enormous. And I'm sure the live version of My Generation was the first bass solo that I ever heard. (My, how I loved that trebly, semi-distorted sound favored by British players like Entwistle, John Whetton of King Crimson and Chris Squire.) This album was my primer for how a bass could function in an instrumental trio. If you haven't listened to this one in a while, break it out and feel the power, baby!"
Listen: The Who - Heaven And Hell (1970), featuring John Entwhistle on lead vocals
Yes - Yessongs (1973)
"If Fragile was the appetizer for my musical life, this album was the lobster entree. Chris Squire's tone on songs such as Starship Trooper is absolutely awe inspiring. And the chordal stretching on the live version of The Fish, along with the dynamics of his picking, why, it still sends shivers down my spine.
"I got kicked out of the band room at Hanover High School for playing the whole live solo (cranked to 11!) for my friends at lunch time. At that age, all I wanted to do was play a Ric, wear a cape on stage and use a quarter for a pick!"
Listen: Yes - Starship Trooper live (1973)
Parliament - Funkentelechy Vs The Placebo Syndrome (1978)
"There's funk, and then there's Parliament/Funkadelic. Booty Collins' deep bass grooves on songs like Bop Gun, The Placebo Syndrome and Sir Nose d'Voidoffunk were both eye- and ear-opening.
And what can you say about one of best and most infectious bass lines EVER on Flash Light - which wasn't even played on a bass, for God's sake! That credit goes to Bernie Worrell, who performed the parts on a keyboard synthesizer bass. Man, he rocked my youth. I only wish that I still had my Sir Nose d'Voidoffunk poster...dang!"
Listen: Parliament - Bop Gun (1978)
Stanley Clarke - Stanley Clarke (1974)
"I guess that the only reason that I chose this record over Journey To Love and School Days is just for the fact that it came out first. But make no misatke: whatever the album, Stanley Clarke is the man!
"When I first heard Lopsy Lu and Power, I nearly broke my fingers trying to pop the strings on my bass to get that same attack and sound. On the other end of the spectrum, Clarke's beautiful, virtuosic upright playing on Spanish Phases and the Life Suites were revelations as to how an ancient instrument could be relevant in a modern and evolving music form."
Listen: Stanley Clarke - Lopsy Lu (1974)
Weather Report - Heavy Weather (1977)
"It would be a serious mistake to underestimate the impact of Birdland, Teen Town, A Remark You Made and Havona, the latter featuring an astounding bass solo by the legendary Jaco Pastorius.
"This is simply a great recording of groundbreaking musicians at the top of their game, caught in a moment of true evolution. I consider it a 'light bulb moment' for a lot of bass players, including yours truly."
Listen: Weather Report - Havona (1977)
Jaco Pastorius - Jaco Pastorius (1976)
"What can you say about this record? I saw Jaco Patorius with Weather Report live before I ever heard this album, and after seeing him and having my life changed I searched out everything he recorded.
"Donna Lee…you mean you can do that on a bass?! Who knew? I stole and played the riff from Come On, Come Over in just about any song I could, no matter how inappropriate it might have been musically.
"The evolution of harmonics on Portrait Of Tracy and the compositional aspects of Jaco's musicality in Okonkole Y Trompa and Forgotten Love showed me how a bass player can transcend technique for its own sake and be a musician and songwriter.
"The melodic playing on Continuum and the solo on (Used To Be A) Cha-Cha set a generation free. Where would we be if this album never existed?"
Listen: Jaco Pastorius - Come On, Come Over (1976)
George Duke - Reach For It (1977)
"George Duke put out so many good albums, but this is the one for me. Lemme At It, Hot Fire and Diamonds are fusion classics. The record features stellar performances by Stanley Clarke.
"But the meat and potatoes that must put Reach For It in anyone's top 10 bass albums list is Byron Miller's amazing, better-than-awesome, gotta-learn-every-lick-for-myself solo on the title track. It's like…hmmm…let me try to imagine the funkiest, grooving-est best bass solo that anyone could possibly ever play, and this is what you'd come up with…in your dreams!"
Listen: George Duke - Reach For It (1977)
Brand X - Masques (1978)
"I had to include at least one Brand X Album, and this is my favorite. From the opening unison lines of The Poke to the haunting harmonics of The Ghosts Of Mayfield Lodge, Percy Jones shows us that it is possible to play fretless electric bass and not be a Jaco clone.
"The title track is a tour de force for our man Percy - talk about sliding harmonics and overall chops! Earth Dance could almost have been a hit. To me, it's happy-fusion that pre-dates happy-jazz.
"Every track on this album is filled with metric modulations, unison runs and chops up the yin yang. Truly one of the greatest fusion records ever recorded."
Listen: Brand X - Masques (1978)
Joni Mitchell - Shadows And Light (1980)
"It was tough to choose between this album and Weather Report's 8:30, but I had to include at least one live Jaco Pastorius recording. I saw the Joni Mitchell tour twice - one night was great and the other was a bit of a disaster when Jaco stormed off stage after he couldn't get the echo-repeat going in his solo.
"This record was obviously recorded on the brilliant night, and there is none of the aggressive/punk Jaco that surfaced at times on other recordings, and none of the ego wars between him and Weather Report leader Joe Zawinul that you can hear on 8:30.
"This is Jaco at his most sensitive. Like Miles Davis, his every note has a beginning, middle and end. I cry every time that I hear Hejira. Honestly, it's just too beautiful for words."
Listen: Joni Mitchell - Shadows And Light - Jaco Pastorius' bass solo (1980)

Updated: Limo liberal now "helicopter liberal"
Speaking of irony, life for some is just full of it.
Pop star Will.i.am spoke at Oxford University in a climate debate saying:
'Climate change should be the thing that we are all worried and concerned about as humans on this planet, how we affect the planet, our consumption, and how we treat the place that we live in.'
Indeed. Boilerplate good stuff for the true believers. Of course, living up to his words? Yeah, not so much:
The 37-year-old Black Eyed Peas star arrived for the talk at Oxford University in his private helicopter.
Seemingly oblivious to the furore that it might cause, the pop star even tweeted pictures of the 'hip.hop.copter' when he landed.
His trip from London was a total of 286 miles and used 71.5 gallons of fuel, ploughing three-quarters of a tonne of CO2 into the atmosphere, which is the same as the average UK person produces in an entire month.
Now if I believed this mattered significantly I'd be outraged. In the big scheme of things, I really don't care. But the finer point here is obviously Will.i.am is oblivious to the fact that he's a grade A hypocrite. It's hard to believe someone would be this unaware, but apparently he is. Either that, or he just doesn't care.
But hey, we all know how this works … sacrifice is for the little people. Liberals want wind farms, but not if you can see them off of Martha's Vineyard.
Our buddy WIll.i.am isn't any different than the limo liberals we've always had to suffer. He's just adding a new twist.

- Having a love affair with this pack!
I would highly recommend this pack for serious hikers, trekkers, backpackers and for everyday use, and ... if ya want to be " COOL " (Posted on 5/18/2013)
- service and product is top notch
- Best Bag For The Outdoorsman
- Lives up to the Duluth Pack reputation!
Since I purchased mine (I went waxed canvas). I have been only pleased with this pack. It has been all over the US and Europe as well now. This has become my go to bag for almost any occasion. Work trips to other states, trips to the gun range, day pack for glacier hiking, thwart bag for a canoe trip; the list goes on and this pack performs admirably.
The side pockets are perfect for holding a Nalgene bottle. The front pocket holds me Nexus 7" tablet and sunglasses with room for a small notebook and deck of cards too. My only complaint is that I will the main compartment were a bit taller, maybe 3-4" or so. It would really let you capitalize on the versatility of this bag.
In the end, it has been a solid purchase. and I do not regret it one bit. In the last year mine has been dragged over rocks, soaked with water and frozen solid. I am pretty sure it is just getting broken in. I expect this will last for decades to come. (Posted on 12/16/2012)
- Best Pack and Best Service.
- Been a good year
- Tuffest pack I've used in years.
- Deer Camp 2012 - Bring It On!
I have owned two DP "wanderer" packs for nearly five years. I have used my wanderer to travel from Utah to Duluth and further north to deer camp for the past two years and plan on the doing the trek again, this November. I ALWAYS have to stop in to DP at Canal Park on the waterfront of Lake Superior to what they have new in stock. The wanderer is an 'all-around' versatile pack that equaly the reputation of any other pack that DP has in its inventory. In addition, it is a fantastic pack to take as your only 'carry-on' to the aircraft and easily stowes under your seat or in the storage bins above your seat. Do not delay...get the wanderer today! You will not be disappointed...as you will not be for ANY of Duluth Pack's products! Incidentally, I have a 'drafters" bag that I purchased from DP over 13 years ago and it is still going strong. Yes, the leather has weathered and matured (only making it look better), the zipper broke once, and a top panel had to be replaced as the material wore out, but it was all repaired free of charge. The only thing I paid was for the shipping back west. Yes, I am a former Duluthian from the late 50s but will still not purchase any other pack on the market. These packs are not inexpensive. However, I always rely on the old saying, "You get what you pay for." In this instance (and all instances at DP), you DO get what you pay for - unequalled quality and fine craftsmanship! (Posted on 6/6/2012)
- Built to last
My Klean Kanteen 64oz wide bottle fits into the side pocket which is great. I got the khaki colour and love it to bits. Comfortable, tough and well built. Perfect! (Posted on 5/27/2012)
- love it

Netronome, a leading designer of flow processors (NFP), on Wednesday said that it had inked a strategic relationship with Intel Corp. under which the latter will produce a series of forthcoming Netronome chips at its factories using 22nm process technology. The agreement will let Nitronome to produce its chips using the most advanced process technology in the world, which will help to boost performance and lower power consumption.
"Intel's tri-gate transistor technology and 22nm manufacturing process provides significant benefits over legacy planar designs. As a result, our next generation flow processors will be several generations ahead of other communications processors, allowing Netronome to deliver up to 10 ?times the performance with more than triple the energy efficiency," said Jim Finnegan, senior vice president of engineering at Netronome.
Netronome offers a family of highly-programmable network flow processors and acceleration cards designed for integration with standard Intel architecture (IA)-based appliances. Netronome's NFP family of network flow processors delivers line-rate throughput, tightly integrated packet and content processing and robust security features in a single chip. Netronome's products provide line-rate network throughput at 40Gb/s and beyond, while simultaneously offering the industry's most-flexible level of flow analysis, content processing, application awareness and deep packet inspection. This combination of performance and programmability makes Netronome's NGPs well suited to meet the most-stringent design requirements of developers of next-generation network infrastructure products.
"Intel is delighted to provide Netronome with access to its leading edge tri-gate 22nm technology and integrated supply chain. While working with Netronome during he roduct design cycle to optimize its flow processors and our foundry offerings, it was clear that Intel's 22nm silicon technology and design infrastructure are a significant value?fit with Netronome's products," said Sunit Rikhi, vice president of the technology and manufacturing group at Intel.
Netronome's current generation of flow processors began with a technology license agreement with Intel in November 2007, reaching volume?shipments in 2011. Netronome's next- ?generation of processors based on Intel's 22nm process and tri-gate transistors will sample in 2013.

Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Niagara Falls
Rob Nicholson Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada
Mr. Speaker, the hon. member might want to check the records. The Prime Minister has already spoken on this.
We always know when there is an election or a byelection in this country. That is when the Liberals discover the justice agenda. I say to them that we need support at all times of the year, not just when there is a byelection in Vaughan or other places in Canada.
Arts and Culture
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Carole Lavallée Saint-Bruno—Saint-Hubert, QC
Mr. Speaker, the survey done by the International Exchange for the Performing Arts shows that the Conservative cuts are purely ideological and make no economic sense. According to the president of CINARS, Alain Paré, "For every dollar … cut, the … companies had to absorb $6.30 in lost revenue." The cuts are weakening the entire cultural industry. Les Grands Ballets Canadiens, for example, may not be able to travel to Beijing, even though the Chinese government is funding a similar tour in Canada.
Is the government going to restore the funding for international tours and transfer it to the Canada Council?
Arts and Culture
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Port Moody—Westwood—Port Coquitlam
James Moore Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages
Mr. Speaker, frankly, the member is not really familiar with this situation, because if she knew the facts, she would know that the Canada Council already has 11 programs to assist artists on the international scene. Do we really need a 12th or 13th or 14th program? The Canada Council's budget has been increased so it can assist artists, help them directly with the funds our government has provided, the taxpayers' money. The budget has been increased by 20%. They have 11 programs to assist artists on the international scene. They do not need a 12th program.
Persons with Disabilities
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Tony Martin Sault Ste. Marie, ON
Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development and I attended a conference last night on disabilities and poverty where we heard Cindy Blackstock say that what government does is more important than what government says.
Given that the disabled are three times more likely to live in poverty than anybody else, this is what they want the government to do: implement the international covenant on the rights of the disabled; bring in a guaranteed annual income for the severely disabled; and make the disability tax credit fully refundable.
Will the minister do this?
Persons with Disabilities
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Diane Finley Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development
Mr. Speaker, I was delighted to the see the hon. member at the conference last night. He is finally showing an active interest, unlike the rest of his party, in helping the disabled in our communities.
Our government has done phenomenal things to help the disabled, including introducing the registered disability savings plan and our enabling accessibility fund. Unfortunately, the NDP voted against it.
Take my word for it? No, listen to Al Etmanski at the Plan Institute:
I believe [this] Government is hands down the most effective Federal champion people with disabilities and their families have ever had.
Foreign Affairs
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Lois Brown Newmarket—Aurora, ON
Mr. Speaker, Canadians are outraged by Iran's treatment of Sakineh Ashtiani, an Iranian woman who faces execution following a process that was completely at odds with international standards and the rule of law. She has been the victim of harassment by judicial authorities, denied due process, and false or coerced confessions have been used against her. Today there are reports that she could be executed as early as Wednesday.
Could the minister elaborate on these troubling reports?
Foreign Affairs
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Lawrence Cannon Minister of Foreign Affairs
Mr. Speaker, our government is deeply troubled by reports that Iran may be moving forward with its plans to execute Ms. Ashtiani. The appalling treatment of Ms. Ashtiani is completely out of line with international standards and the rule of law.
Once again this year our government has spearheaded a resolution at the UN General Assembly to call out Iran for its egregious human rights violations. Iran's wanton abuse of the rights of its own citizens is completely unacceptable to our government.
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Joe Volpe Eglinton—Lawrence, ON
Mr. Speaker, the rhetoric, delay and grandstanding of the Prime Minister and his Conservatives on victims of crime is absolutely shameful. It has been 14 months since the immigration minister made the government's first promise during a photo op in Toronto. At great personal expense, Mr. David Chen was dragged through the court system just for protecting his property from a career criminal.
How do Conservatives justify to hard-working Canadians and families that crimes against them are not a priority for this government?
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Niagara Falls
Rob Nicholson Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada
Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the hon. member's position. If the Liberals just had that fifth term in office, they were just about to stand up for victims; just that one more election was all they would have needed.
I appreciate that the hon. member is new to the file. He is a couple of plays behind the action. If he tunes in to what we are doing he will see we have the most ambitious fighting crime agenda in the history of Canada and I and my colleagues are proud to be part of that.
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Jean-Yves Laforest Saint-Maurice—Champlain, QC
Mr. Speaker, the City of Shawinigan is asking the government to postpone the deadline for completing infrastructure projects to the summer of 2011, in view of the fact that the grants were not made until May and June 2010 and it is unrealistic to require that the projects be completed by March 31, 2011.
Will the minister say yes to the request by the City of Shawinigan and by the municipalities of Quebec, which are unanimously calling for the deadline to be postponed so that all of the projects can be completed?
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Chilliwack—Fraser Canyon
Chuck Strahl Minister of Transport
Mr. Speaker, what is clear, especially with the Preco projects in Quebec, is that Quebec itself put a December 31 deadline on it. I do not know exactly why. We always thought it should go to March 31.
I have corresponded with the ministers in Quebec and talked about my willingness to move the deadline to March 31, which I think would work well. We are getting more details and I am hopeful. At least, I have asked for more details from Quebec ministers so that we can be fair and reasonable, as we have said all along, as we address the problem. Without those details, it is hard to know the scope of the problem, so I am hoping those details are forthcoming.
Agriculture and Agri-Food
Oral Questions
November 2nd, 2010 / 3 p.m.
Pat Martin Winnipeg Centre, MB
Mr. Speaker, it does not take the Treasury Board eight weeks to get initial payments to grain producers except when the Minister of Agriculture, Mr. Gerrymander himself, does not want big cheques from the Canadian Wheat Board winding up in the mailbox at the same time as the ballots for the election of directors of the Canadian Wheat Board.
Why will Minister Gerrymander not give up his ideological crusade to crush the Canadian Wheat Board and stop interfering with free and democratic elections and get those initial payments out to farmers so they can pay their bills?
Agriculture and Agri-Food
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Gerry Ritz Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food and Minister for the Canadian Wheat Board
Mr. Speaker, of course, we would like to do just exactly that. We actually had a bill come before this House, which the NDP and Liberals decided, in their coalition way, to hoist. They said if we brought it forward they would hoist it, which effectively would take it out of play.
That said, the Wheat Board did apply for an increase to the initial prices. We have looked at that. The first application was done improperly, so a good portion of the blame for the delay goes right back to the Wheat Board itself.
Presence in the Gallery
Oral Questions

I would like to draw to the attention of hon. members the presence in the gallery of His Excellency Trajko Veljanoski, the President of the Assembly of the Republic of Macedonia.
