Skip to comments.Conservative Think Tank: Mess Is the GOP's Fault (Gingrich "extremism must be punished and ignored")
Posted on 04/30/2012 3:42:33 AM PDT by Cincinatus' Wife
Newt Gingrich, Grover Norquist slammed for radicalizing Washington
Washington is more dysfunctional than it has been in 40 years, and while Democrats have deserved their share of the blame over the years, today "the core of the problem lies with the Republican Party," write Thomas E. Mann and Norman Ornstein in the Washington Post. What makes their column particularly interesting is that Ornstein is not liberal, but a resident scholar at the conservative American Enterprise Institute, and Mann is a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution. Together, they call the GOP an "insurgent outlier in American politics" because of the party's extremism, antagonism to facts and science, hatred of compromise, and complete opposition to the Democrats' legitimacy.
The biggest two culprits of the Republicans' radicalization over the past 30 years, according to Mann and Ornstein, are Newt Gingrich and Grover NorquistGingrich for deliberately making the Capitol dysfunctional in order to stoke and use anti-Washington rage around the country, and Norquist for creating an anti-tax pledge that makes compromise impossible. In response to the GOP's nuttiness, Mann and Orstein call on journalists to stop trying to present "both sides" on the issues, and instead concentrate on "truth," focus on who is "taking hostages, at what risks and to what ends," and to stop treating filibusters like they are routine. Ultimately, though, if democracy "is to regain its health and vitality, the culture and ideological center of the Republican Party must change," they write. And the only way that will happen is if voters start "punishing extremism."

Those methods exactly parrot Green gurus' solutions on how to confront global warming "skeptics." Perhaps the "extremists" have a solid foothold and the Elites can't shake it loose.
Newt Gingrich of Georgia and Dr. Brenda Fitzgerald throw mock tea crates into the Chattahoochee River in Roswell, Ga., in 1994.
The Extremism is from Team Romney who
attacked Gov. Palin and her children to throw
the 2008 Election to Obama .... FOR ROMNEY.
It shall, hopefully, not be rewarded.
"What makes their column particularly interesting is that Ornstein is not liberal, but a resident scholar at the conservative American Enterprise Institute"
Alone. Wikipedia refers to Ornstein as a "centrist liberal".
Ya gotta have RINOs.
The party NEEDS RINOSs.
ad naseum.
"Principles?" WE DON' NEED NO STEEENKING PRINCIPLES!
"What makes their column particularly interesting is that Ornstein is not liberal, but a resident scholar at the conservative American Enterprise Institute"
Baloney. Wikipedia refers to Ornstein as a "centrist liberal".
Democracy? These idiot fools think that we live in a democracy... that is what the communists want. Mob rule and let the parasites in the urban areas rule America... no electoral college etc. We have a Republic and these two guys are leftists. You want the real truth??? THERE CAN BE NO COMPROMISE WITH COMMUNISM, ISLAM OR SATAN. THIS IS THE ORIGINAL AXIS OF EVIL. THESE GUYS ARE BELTWAY DRONES... COOPTED AND INDOCTRINATED... THEY TOOK THE WRONG COLOR PILL.
If the LSM did this, then they would mute Mr. Obama virtually every night on the news instead of me having to do it.
Seems to me that "journalists" have been doing exactly this for a very long time while all the while insisting that their reporting is not biased.
Until you ABO/Romney/Rino/GOPe loyalist voters realize the republican party HAS to change from within the destruction of this great nation will continue!
The Brookings Institute, employer of Thomas Mann, is a center-left group with an agenda. Diane Feinstein is a funder.
Heard all I needed to when NPR gave these clowns nearly 10 minutes this am for the same crapola. Most of what they said was toilet paper material.
Here is a little rewrite of what they wrote, to put it in context:
"Washington is more dysfunctional than it has been in 40 years, and while Muslims have deserved their share of the blame over the years, today "the core of the problem lies with Christians".
They call Christians an "insurgent outlier in American politics" because of the religion's extremism, antagonism to the inherent truth of Islam, hatred of Muslims, and complete opposition to the legitimacy of Sharia law.
They blame Christians for deliberately making the Capitol dysfunctional in order to stoke and use anti-Muslim rage around the country, and creating an anti-dhimmi-tax pledge that makes compromise impossible.
In response to the Christian extremism in clinging to their religion and Haram practices, they call on journalists to stop trying to present "both sides" on the issues, and instead concentrate on the "truth of Islam," focus on who is "obstructing the true faith, at what risks and to what ends," and to stop treating the constitution like it is supreme.
Ultimately, though, if America "is to regain its health and vitality, the religion of the people must change to Islam," they write. And the only way that will happen is if leaders start "punishing extremist Christians."
They got one thing right. I completly oppose the democrat=marxist=socialist=communist legitimacy in destroying America.
It would appear the author of the WaPo article (read it here) is not a conservative.
This is what passes for intelligence?
"Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice". BG
Today's think tankers would declare the founding fathers radical extremists. We went to war with lead flying and blood flowing over issues that were less aggregious than what we are dealing with today.
I had a similar conversation - hard to believe the people of Mass. led the revolution!
Gingrich is a moderate who will soon endorse Romney and Norquist is a traitor for dollars to radial Islam.
Norquist's anti tax pledge serves a huge purpose...it places the focus on cutting the size and scope of government...of necessity.
Without that, you'd get a total cave...not merely a partial one like we have now..to the crazed Dems tax, spend and elect, tax, spend and elect political philosophy handed down from FDR.
So it puts elected Repubs in a straight jacket, huh??
What a shame...NOT.
As for Gingrich, he has had some trouble having himself marked a true conservative, having done, said and written a few clunker things in his career. But THESE clowns call him a "conservative extremist".
Do they pass around the weed or the pipe, where these two hang out??
They aren't conservative enough in reality
A political party cannot be all things to all people. It must represent certain fundamental beliefs which must not be compromised to political expediency, or simply to swell its numbers.
They have to convince people that Newt is an extremist in order to keep Mitt from looking like a liberal that has been pandering and slobbering all over the mushy middle - while giving the base the finger.
Mitt is no mystery. He'll be whatever the K-Street to Wall Street crowd tell him to be.
Can't keep on the topic, can you?
Gingrich endorses Romney to stop Obama. He has said, straight up, Obama second term = a destroyed America.
You can argue that on principle none of the many who have endorsed Romney should have, but you can't successfully argue that Newt Gingrich has no point about Obama and this nation's immediate survival.
IF you try, what does that make YOU...blind to reality, a secret Obama shill...who knows?
Norquist's role vis a vis radical Islam is a whole other topic.
Nothing to do with this thread, nothing to do with the point, thread aside.
I defend his no tax increase pledge.
It's a good thing we have it, as the GOP would be so much worse than it is, without it.
Reaching across and compromising with your enemy apparently is the preferred method. Maybe to the GOP-e, those sitting across the aisle, don't hold such different views.
To find votes, they're going to sell it that Mitt and McConnell and Boehner will be ready, willing and able to "work for the American people" by working with the opposition.
Ornstein is a huge Ron Paul supporter—and a crank (that may be redundant).
Ornstein helped draft key parts of the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002, also known as the McCain-Feingold Act.[2]
Ornstein is a long-time friend of current U. S. Senator and former comedian Al Franken. Ornstein considers himself a centrist.[3]
This is a conservative by the measure of Newser. Ornstein has always been a Rockefeller type "Conservative. He considers himself a Centrist LIBERAL.
NOT ALL THE FISH IN THE AMERICAN ENTERPRISE INSTITUTE TANK are Conservative or even close by FR standards.
Paul Ryan has a better grip on reality than that. Hopefully that grip will help the rest of them see the light at least in terms of the train wreck that's coming if they don't change to be MORE conservative, not less.
He can lay it out in the starkest of terms.
We have a very small window of opportunity to start fixing it, but that will soon close, and then it appears to be hopeless for this nation.
Maryland is a perfect example of a one party state. So is most of New England.
Having moved the center to the left, the radicals are accusing the conservatives of extremism for trying to keep it from moving further left, let alone getting it back to the right.
Clearing the path for the RINO Romney.
I hope you're right. The GOP seems to use conservative members and the base when it suits them but only until they get what they want.
Our elite political class these days is so far removed from reality that they couldn't find it with the Hubble Telescope.
....His influence peddling (going back to George Bush) and enabling has had a detrimental affect and allowed the Muslim Brotherdhood to gain a foothoold in the Conservative Movement and reaches to the highest levels of Gov't to include the White House, DHS, DOJ and Dept of Defense....
....Making this bottom-feeding, snake and charlatan one of the most despicable (AND DANGEROUS) scumbags in the US at the present time....
....And its about time that "we" Freepers do something about it/him.
SEE: http://muslimbrotherhoodinamerica.com/ and pay particular attention of parts III and IV.
You are correct.
Neither of the individuals named, nor their organizations, are "Conservative".
Just more 5th Column media lies.
The thing about Ryan...you can hardly accuse him of being Newt Gingrich, can you?
Chairman of the House Budget Committee, and someone who knows so much, he's forgotten more than what most people in DC ever knew.
I realize he endorsed Mitt, but what's a young, up-and-comer to do? sarc/
The thorn in all their sides is REALITY, not Newt Gingrich or Norquist. And Ryan is about the best I've ever seen on that.
It's reality that we have a spending problem, an out of control big government problem.
Taxes aren't too low.
And even if you started literally confiscating what people have, you would barely dent the deficit much less the debt. Taxing our way out, even if politically feasible, is a dead ender.
Obama gets away with far too much, about that.
Wouldn't hurt a thing to go after the would-be despot on it, 24/7.
This just in.
From Forbes:
Obama's Plan To Seize Control Of Our Economy And Our Lives (Read this executive order)
How do you compromise with this, you knuckleheads who are attacking Newt and Grover????????????????????
Why don't you get your head out of the sand (or some other unmentionable bodily orifice) and do a little due diligence on Norquist, then come back and attack/challenge us who want to "out" this scumbag...as in "out" him as a TRAITOR and "out" him from any position of influence within the Conservative Movement and if possible, the Republican Party altogether.
:: Obamas Plan To Seize Control Of Our Economy And Our Lives ::
I'll go on record at this time and predict: If Obama is re-elected, your 401K monies - as they sit - will be taxed and all further contributions to the 401K will be after tax from your paycheck.
Ignore at your peril Washington D.C.
Looks like 1972 all over again!
The GOP-E mouthpiece has spoken.
They are really scared....and they should be. Rebellion is brewing!
I would submit, as did Cicero, that the enemy within, aka RINOs are a greater threat to God and Liberty than are any easily identified socialists.
Obama win = A united GOP against him.
A Romney win = a House divided which cannot stand.
Ergo, Romney is the greater threat.
I do understand this is counter intuitive, but consider that we have been losing the war for the soul of America since Wilson and then consider that each loss has always been to the rot within the party. The betrayal of principle, again and again.
No more. Not one inch further. Come what may and that may be the very end itself, so be it. Not by my hand, not on my watch. ENOUGH !
We've seen the house divided - up close and very, very personal — right here on FR.
Instead of all the back-biting we must put our money and our muscle into state races and build up rock solid conservative state houses and governor's offices. They are our fire wall now.
SHOW the GOP-e we are building our defensive lines — all 50 of them.
Attacking Gingrich and Norquist is so far off the real problem, it's crazy.
Newt is a reformer, and governed as Speaker as a conservative. That record is clear. He fought and won many a battle that took the party and nation to a better place. The Romney E pick was a forgone conclusion within a house divided. And Newt's right: Obama is a dire threat, not years from now, but NOW.
I respect those who can't bring themselves to vote Mitt, and I also respect those who cast an anti Obama vote for Mitt if their state is key, and hanging in the balance by a handful of votes.
Without Norquist's no tax hike pledge, the GOP would be even MORE lost.
States must now line up and fight the Federal Leviathan under Obama with every tool at their disposal, unless or until he's ousted from office.
If Mitt should win, states have to still weigh in and take back control under the Constitution of our Republic of States.
Absolutely disgusting. These are more of the establishment liberals who Newt has been fighting his entire career. Newt stands for conservative principles. The RINO brigade and faux conservatives stand for violating conservative principles and calling it "compromise."
They think the government needs more of our tax money. That's all you need to know to know they're immoral lunatics.
Romney is one of their type so they should be happy with where things are going now. Newt would've completely reformed the following:
Social Security
Food Stamps
Unemployment Benefits
Management of the bureaucracy
Romney will "take a look at some of that" and do nothing.
Much of the base is in denial now. Once what you say happens, and it will without question if Mitt wins, we will get a repeat of 2006 and 2008 in 2014 and 2016, with a huge Democrat takeover. And with Mitt and the Repukes having accomplished nothing in their term, the Dims will have a huge mandate to do whatever they want. And if there is one movement that has its act together, is unified and organized, and is ready to overthrow the big-money special interests, it's the commie libs. This country won't survive a Romney win because it will lead directly to a communist takeover in 2016 that might be unstoppable and irreversible without a civil war.
Any chance the 2nd book from the bottom is a picture book?
The states must remember that they have a duty and a purpose and that they have power and the law behind them. Texas and Wisconsin are two examples of what state governments who FIGHT for what is right and legal will face and how it must be done. And the states must support each other wherever and whenever they can.
We must be a "Band of Brothers" against the overreaching Federal Government. Every time a state takes the easy path - folds under the guise of compromise - in order to "get" back their share from the Federal "kitty" they lose more freedom and state rights slip further under the iron control of Washington DC.
It's time we stop forgetting to build-up strong conservative power bases in every state and support stalwart candidates and remove the go-alongs.

Those look great, Z!! Did you find Grande or go with something else? I always put my basil on just after sauce, then cheese and oil over it, and that seems to work for me. I have to just say, looking at pics of your oven makes me go "Awwww" because I feel like it's family. I know that's weird, but I can't help it. They lived together for a long time

About the Program
Are you curious about wildlife, soils, the environment and their interactions?
If so, the BAIS in Natural Resources is the degree for you!
The Bachelor of Arts Integrative Studies (BAIS) focuses on four core learning objectives: critical thinking, writing and presentation, research, and the development of an interdisciplinary knowledge base.
The Natural Resources emphasis area is multidisciplinary including coursework from biology, geology, natural resources, and environmental science. Courses in research methods, writing, ethics, and special topic integrative seminars broaden the student knowledge base and hone their communication and critical thinking skills. An internship and independent research course give students the opportunity to explore professional development and apply their knowledge to a specific research project.
The Natural Resources faculty provide a wide array of courses encompassing broad interests. You can take classes covering geomorphology and soils, conservation biology, wildlife ecology, and plant physiology. After completing 19 credits of core resource management requirements, you will tailor coursework to more specific interests.
Upon graduating, the successful learner will have a skill set that can be applied to a professional career or graduate school. Graduates can pursue careers in the mining industry, mine-land reclamation, environmental consulting, or state and federal agencies such as the Nevada Division of Forestry, Nevada Division of Wildlife, United States Forest Service, and the Bureau of Land Management as natural resource biologists, soil conservationist, rangeland technicians, or forestry technicians. Graduates may use the BAIS in Natural Resources as a foundation for future graduate studies in natural resources, environmental law, range management, or ecology.
Our Students
Many of our students are "non-traditional." They come from diverse backgrounds, many work full time or part time, and many are parents. Great Basin College is committed to providing courses in a variety of time slots and formats to meet the scheduling needs of our students. We believe our student diversity strengthens the BAIS interdisciplinary perspective as it brings many voices to the classroom.
Getting Started

The goal of my project is designing a space to market an experience! I aim at surprising the 7Gr potential customer with the same surprise tactic as the effect of the "Little blue Tiffany Box". It is the idea of "something small – and something precious". I thrive to provide the same sense of anticipation in opening a small box and finding a precious jewel inside. In the present case, a beautifully designed coffee bar/kiosk with aromatic and tasty espresso.

When I first saw a preview of the French film "The Intouchables," the story of poor Senegalese immigrant Driss and his unlikely friendship with the rich quadriplegic Philippe whom he cares for, I was prepared to write it off as emotionally manipulative or, even worse, as offensive and racist.
But while "The Intouchables" can be accused of occasionally being those things, it also is often riotously funny. It's a pleasant study of two characters that were made for each other.
Despite being amazingly wealthy and offering incredible perks like a beautiful bedroom in his house, Philippe (Francois Cluzet) can't seem to keep a caretaker around for more than a month. Enter Driss (an impressive Omar Sy), who only applied for the job to maintain his unemployment benefits.
This being a movie (and not a highly original one), Driss is hired and the pair bond over shared hits of marijuana, their mutual love of zipping around France in Philippe's collection of fast cars and Driss' insistence that he can paint something equally as good as the expensive modern art Philippe is looking to buy.
The treatment of Driss can occasionally induce a few uncomfortable cringes, but I'd stop well short of actually accusing the depiction of being racist. (Perhaps the cause is acultural difference between France and the U.S.) It should be noted, however, that while the plot is based on a true story, the caretaker was really Abdel, an Arab of Algerian decent.
"The Intouchables" is the kind of movie that invites complaints and criticisms, and many of them will be valid. But it's also a fun little movie that's full of rapid-fire jokes and enough heart to keep the film enjoyable.

Classic Game Room presents a CGR Undertow review of Mirror's Edge from DICE and Electronic Arts for the PlayStation 3. Mirror's Edge is also available for the Xbox 360. Linear in their design, each level is essentially an obstacle course. It's your job to guide Faith through the levels as quickly as possible, using her knack for running and jumping to keep her out of harm's way. And in that sense, Mirror's Edge feels like a sort of first-person platformer—the game is designed entirely around the idea of finding optimal routes and racing through the levels as quickly as possible. This video review features video gameplay footage of Mirror's Edge for the PlayStation 3 and audio commentary from Classic Game Room's Derek.

Footprint CalculatorNot Translated
How much land area does it take to support your lifestyle? Take this quiz to find out your Ecological Footprint, discover your biggest areas of resource consumption, and learn what you can do to tread more lightly on the earth.
Select your location on the map below to start taking the Footprint Calculator Quiz. We recommend using a computer or laptop because the calculator requires Flash animation that is unavailable on some tablets and smart phones.
Why is Calgary on the map, but not Canada? Why are only some countries available?
To create these calculators, Global Footprint Network works with local partners to gather regional data on resource consumption. We created the Calgary city calculator as part of our partnership with the City of Calgary. Canada residents can take the Calgary quiz or the US quiz to get approximate results. Global Footprint Network is inviting corporate, government and NGO partners to help us add additional cities and countries. Please email email@example.com if you would like more details.
What part of my Footprint can I influence?
Some of each person's Ecological Footprint is dependent upon choices they make in their own life, such as how much they drive, recycle and purchase new products, and some of it is their per person share of their societies' infrastructure. The first part can be influenced directly. The second part is equally critical to living within the means of one planet, but must be influenced through more indirect action such as political engagement, green technology and innovation, and other work toward large-scale social change. For more information on these distinctions, click here.
More questions about your Footprint? Please see the Footprint Calculator Frequently Asked Questions.

The University of New Haven's Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering and Computer Science (ECECS) is the largest in the Tagliatela College of Engineering (TCoE) and offers undergraduate degrees in four disciplines and master's degrees in three of these fields. These disciplines include Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering and Information Technology.Our Educational Philosophy
The mission of the department is to prepare students from diverse backgrounds for professional practice and continued growth in the fields of electrical engineering, computer engineering, computer science, and information technology. We provide students with the skills and basic background needed to become proficient in today's technology, as well as keep abreast of future developments in these fields after they graduate.
Being true to the broader educational missions of the university and the TCoE, the programs in the department possess many facets. Through the university's core requirements, students expand their cultural and intellectual horizons by exposure to the humanities and social sciences, in addition to the technical aspects of mathematics and science. Written and oral communication skills are developed repeatedly throughout the curriculum. Teamwork also plays an important role in many classes.
During the freshman and sophomore years, students in each program participate at different levels in the multidisciplinary, spiral curriculum of the TCoE, in addition to taking introductory discipline courses. They then have an opportunity to pursue particular interests through required and elective courses in their final two years.
Another important feature of these programs is putting theory into practice. Through a mixture of specific lab courses and in-class projects, students will have "hands-on" experiences to further emphasize the lessons they have learned. These activities culminate in a design project in their senior year, as well as an internship in the local industry.
Students are encouraged to develop themselves not only academically, but also socially. Various opportunities exist outside the classroom for interaction with other students and faculty. The Living/Learning Community provides a great bonding experience in the freshman year. In later years, various clubs and student chapters of national societies provide an opportunity to listen to visiting lecturers, attend workshops or conferences, and take field trips into the surrounding industry.Further Information
We invite you to explore the various pages of the department to learn more about the details of our programs , its faculty and staff , the facilities and the various opportunities open to current and prospective students . If you need more information, please contact us at (203) 932-7165 or email@example.com .

Since this high point is in the north of the Unit, it only drops to 9600 feet to the north. Elevation decreases to 7100 feet in the east, 8200 feet in the south and 7200 feet in the west. In the north the part of the Unit it is quite mountainous, but then flattens out before reaching cliffs in the south. The most common elevation is 7300 feet but ranges from 7000 feet to 9900 feet with an elevation difference of 2900 feet. Fifty-three percent (53%) of the CWMU elevation ranges between 7800 feet and 9200 feet an elevation difference of 1400 feet.
Over half of the Emma Park Cooperative Wildlife Management Unit is either Inter-Mountain Basins Montane Sagebrush Steppe (62) or Inter-Mountain Basins Big Sagebrush Shrubland(48). Rocky Mountain Aspen Forest and Woodland (22) is represented as is Rocky Mountain Gambel Oak-Mixed Montane Shrubland (41), Colorado Plateau Pinyon-Juniper Woodland (36)and Rocky Mountain Montane Dry-Mesic Mixed Conifer Forest and Woodland (30).
One of the Emma Park Cooperative Wildlife Mangement Unit (CWMU) nearest weather stations, SOLDIER SUMMIT (427959), is about 8.8 km northwest from the northwest edge of the CWMU. SOLDIER SUMMIT has one hundred nine (109) years of records, 1893 - 2002. During the FALL (September, October and November) the average precipitation is 3.09 inches, but it can be as high as 7.56 inches or as low as 1.27 inches. During the 91-day FALL period, 16 days will experience greater than or equal to 0.01 inch of precipitation, 10 days of greater than or equal to 0.10 inch, or 1 day of the greater than or equal to 0.50 inch of precipitation. Snowfall during the FALL averages 14.3 inches but can be as high as 33.3 inches. FALL temperature at SOLDIER SUMMIT averages 40.5 degrees F. but can be as high as 95.0 degrees F. or as low as -20.0 degrees F. During the FALL, 71 days will be below freezing (32 degrees F.) and no days above 90 degrees F. This map is provided for general reference only and does not constitute a legal hunt boundary. The Division does not guarantee access to any private or public land. Hunt unit boundaries may include private property or other excluded areas.

Stop dithering and reopen railroad plan
Public meetings on the great Adirondack rail-vs.-trail debate had already begun when people learned that the state hasn't even decided whether to open this can of worms.
That was a surprise, and a disappointment.
The tightly orchestrated public meetings of the last two weeks produced hundreds of comments, plus hundreds more written ones, but what hadn't been clear in the state's prior announcements is that these comments may not actually influence any decision about what can go in the Remsen-Lake Placid Travel Corridor. Rather, the state will use them to decide whether, on one hand, to get off its rear end and stage yet another extensive public process, or whether this rail/trail mess is not worth that much effort.
Goodness gracious – of course it's worth it. This is one of the biggest and thorniest public debates in Adirondack history. This newspaper has published hundreds of letters and commentaries on this subject in the last couple of years; we've never seen anything like it before.
The boards of almost all the towns and villages along the corridor, plus St. Lawrence County and the New York State Snowmobile Association, have passed resolutions either urging the state to reopen the corridor's 1996 unit management plan, which was supposed to be updated every five years, or to go ahead and replace the tracks with a trail.
People here in the northern Adirondacks talk about this issue all the time. It is deeply polarizing and also of huge interest.
Even though all of us Adirondackers are co-owners of this corridor – along with every other New Yorker – none of us has any power to do anything about it. The state departments of Transportation and Environmental Conservation, which manage it, have tried to avoid the fiery debate for most of the last few years, so when they announced earlier this year that they'll take it up, people up here thought the state was finally ready to deal with this.
Not so fast, it turns out.
DOT and DEC's slowness on this issue is out of step with the public. One hundred to 200 people showed up at each of the four public meetings, even the two held during working hours. The rooms the state had picked to hold them were too small. Maybe officials underestimated how big a deal this is to people up here.
Yes, the state definitely should reopen the 1996 plan for the corridor. We understand the state can't revisit every UMP every five years like it's supposed to, but this isn't like the others. The Remsen-Lake Placid Travel Corridor is a unique asset with a ton of potential – and baggage. No other unit of state land in the Adirondacks is so provocative. It's a mess if there ever was one, but only the DOT and DEC can clean it up.
The good news is that most people seem, for now, to be ready to put their faith in these departments to do the job. That trust will abate, however, if these departments don't stop dithering and get to work.
Meanwhile, the departments should keep all the comments generated in this recent process and carry them over to the UMP review. These good citizens deserve to not have to submit them all over again.
All this public interest needs to mean something. People on both sides of this issue have made it clear that this is a big public dilemma that needs to be sorted out.

Along with its 4-4-0 cousin, the 4-6-0 configuration was one of the most common wheel arrangements offered by locomotive manufacturers. The combination of speed and traction made 4-6-0s suitable for both freight and passenger service, and nearly every railroad used them.

Every airline pilot can fly—or at least it's assumed that they can. When you are pursuing a job, the basic assumption is that you can aviate with a certain degree of competency, and that you are trainable. The real question for many interviewers is simple: What else do you bring to the table? What skills do you have? What problems can you help us solve?
Pilots are an amazing bunch of people. The wealth of talent and knowledge in other fields that I have seen in this industry never fails to amaze me. One young lady at Comair was not only going through the stress of new-hire training, but she also took the bar exam during training. I can't imagine such a divergent set of demands on her time. I've known pilots who have been lawyers, pharmacists, insurance agents, and members of all kinds of music bands. Many are mechanics, and a lot own their own businesses outside of flying.
When you are interviewing for any flying job, be it for an airline or a corporation or a sky-diving job, don't hesitate to mention your other skills and attributes. Often, that kind of flexibility will pay off, and it may be just what the employer is looking for. In fact, the smaller the company, the more important it is for you to be a jack-of-all-trades. A great example is AOPA. Not all of the employees are pilots, but all of the pilots can do more than fly.
If you get hired by a regional but aspire to a major, one of the best things you can do is to get involved in other "stuff." There are usually all kinds of arenas you can dive into. You might help in the training department with rewriting or doing initial writing of material; safety departments need all kinds of inputs; ASAP and FOQA programs need people to do data analysis, interviews, and interfacing with other airlines. The list goes on. You should fly as much as you can, because if you want to get to a major, you'll need to average at least 200 to 300 hours a year, but you can still make a meaningful contribution outside of the cockpit.
Another area where you can volunteer is with the pilots' union. Much of what the union does mirrors the company structure, especially in safety and training, and airlines and the unions often work hand in hand on major initiatives. Depending on the position you volunteer for, the union may pay for advanced training in such areas as accident investigation or aeromedical services. All of these will round you out as an individual and make your resume shine. Further, you will be marketable as more than a pilot. I know of two that were union safety volunteers that went on to work for the NTSB. Another got a prestigious job with Boeing, and yet another went to the MITRE Corporation. And, of course, many realized their dreams and went on to fly at the majors.
Ask yourself what you bring to the table that someone else doesn't. If the answer is not as fulfilling as you'd like it to be, start working on changing that. You can focus on aviation or non-aviation pursuits and interests, but the big thing is to just get started. To borrow from the old Army ad campaign, you need to be all you can be, and that does not just mean as a pilot.—Chip Wright

France Ponders Net Neutrality Decision
France has been considering legislation to make large web companies such as Facebook and Google pay for the burden they place on telecommunications networks. It has opted instead to ask the National Digital Council to look into whether a law is necessary and how it might be implemented. A decision is due in late February.
The socialist government is concerned that web giants load networks with data traffic without contributing to investments by operators of broadband networks. Both web giants and Internet activists oppose the idea of charging content providers as it would violate the principle of net neutrality that all data traffic should be treated equally.
France's debate on net neutrality and who should finance networks arose early in January when the country's second-biggest broadband provider Iliad launched a feature to automatically block online advertisements.
The company withdrew the facility after an outcry from Web publishers and Internet activists, but not before Pellerin said it had a point.
"What solutions do Internet providers have when faced with content providers who use their networks but don't invest in them?" [junior minister for the digital economy Fleur] Pellerin said last week.
"We need to ask serious questions about how Web companies can put some money into networks."
Reuters: France delays move to make Web giants pay for networks

Justice and Human Rights
Committees of the House
Routine Proceedings
10:05 a.m.
Dave MacKenzie Oxford, ON
Madam Speaker, I have the honour to present, in both official languages, the second report of the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights in relation to Bill C-10, An Act to enact the Justice for Victims of Terrorism Act and to amend the State Immunity Act, the Criminal Code, the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, the Corrections and Conditional Release Act, the Youth Criminal Justice Act, the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and other Acts.
National Strategy for Dementia Act
Routine Proceedings
10:05 a.m.
Claude Gravelle Nickel Belt, ON
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-356, An Act respecting a National Strategy for Dementia.
Madam Speaker, I am honoured today to introduce my bill, an act respecting a national strategy for dementia.
The bill has its roots in my own family's experience with my mother. Long before her death at 83, in 2003, she began struggling with obvious memory loss. What started with forgetting things on the stove and forgetting appointments got worse by forgetting meds, forgetting language, changes in mood, loss of initiative and aggressive behaviour.
My father, sisters and wife learned the overwhelming challenges of being her caregiver.
My mom is not alone. Over 500,000 Canadians suffer from Alzheimer's disease and other related dementia. An estimated 1.1 million Canadians will have these diseases within a generation.
My bill would develop a comprehensive national plan to address all aspects of Alzheimer's disease and other dementia. It would encourage more research, prevention and specific help for caregivers.
I know a national dementia strategy is a non-partisan issue. I urge all MPs from all parties to help make this bill the law of our land.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed)
Canada Pension Plan
Routine Proceedings
10:05 a.m.
Chris Charlton Hamilton Mountain, ON
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-357, An Act to amend the Canada Pension Plan (arrears of benefits).
Madam Speaker, these last few years have been incredibly difficult for seniors. They have worked hard all their lives and played by the rules. However, now their retirement savings are threatened through no fault of their own by downturns in the economy and employers who are trying to avoid their pension obligations.
The least we can do as legislators is to ensure that the money to which seniors are entitled through government pensions will be there for them in their retirement. That is why I am introducing legislation today that would allow for full retroactive benefits plus interest when someone applies late for benefits under the Canada pension plan.
The CPP is a pay-as-you-go contribution-based program that is funded solely by employers and employees. It is absurd that a person who is late in applying for his or her pension under the CPP is only entitled to 11 months of retroactive benefits. It is not the government's money.
This bill would put an end to this insufficient and unfair period of retroactivity, and would do the same for disability pensions or a survivor's pension and a disabled contributor's child benefit. This is something that should and could have been corrected long ago.
I urge all members to support this important bill today. By definition, seniors do not have a lifetime to wait.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed)
Stelco Inc. Acquisition Act
Routine Proceedings
10:05 a.m.
Chris Charlton Hamilton Mountain, ON
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-358, An Act respecting the acquisition of Stelco Inc. by the United States Steel Corporation.
Madam Speaker, I am pleased to rise in the House today to introduce a bill regarding the acquisition of Stelco Inc. by the United States Steel Corporation.
U.S. Steel acquired Stelco in 2007, but it was not long after that the Government of Canada had to take U.S. Steel to court for failing to live up to the employment and production commitments made by the company under the Investment Canada Act.
I have raised issues related to U.S. Steel on numerous occasions in this House. I have raised the lockout of members of USW Local 1005, the denial of pension indexation for Stelco retirees, access to EI benefits for the locked out workers, and of course the inadequacy of the Investment Canada Act in protecting Canadian interests in this foreign takeover.
Sadly, it has been impossible to get full accountability because the agreement signed between U.S. Steel and the Government of Canada has never been made available publicly.
It is for that reason I am introducing this bill today. It would require the Government of Canada to publish all written undertakings given in the right of Canada under the Investment Canada Act in respect to the acquisition of U.S. Steel.
Furthermore, it would require the publication of all correspondence between the minister and the company regarding the enforcement of this agreement.
The Investment Canada Act demands that a foreign takeover have a net public benefit, but the public is being kept in the dark. That is simply not good enough. That is why my bill would finally bring accountability into the light of day.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed)
Health of Animals Act
Routine Proceedings
November 24th, 2011 / 10:10 a.m.
Alex Atamanenko British Columbia Southern Interior, BC
Madam Speaker, I have a petition supporting my private member's bill, Bill C-322.
The petitioners, primarily from Saskatchewan, say that horses are ordinarily kept and treated as sport and companion animals. They are not raised primarily as food processing animals, and they are commonly administered drugs that are strictly prohibited from being used at any time in the food chain, and I would like to emphasize that. The drug, which is phenylbutazone, is administered to probably about 80% of the horses on this continent. Once that drug is introduced, that animal is no longer fit for human consumption.
The petitioners call upon the House of Commons to bring forward and adopt Bill C-322, An Act to amend the Health of Animals Act and the Meat Inspection Act, thus prohibiting the importation or exportation of horses for slaughter for human consumption as well as horse meat products for human consumption.
Routine Proceedings
10:10 a.m.
Pat Martin Winnipeg Centre, MB
Madam Speaker, I am proud to rise today to present a petition signed by literally thousands of Canadians from all across Canada who call upon Parliament to take note that asbestos is the greatest industrial killer that the world has ever known and that more Canadians now die from asbestos than all other industrial or occupational causes combined.
They point out that Canada remains one of the largest producers and exporters of asbestos in the world and spends millions of dollars subsidizing the asbestos industry, both domestically and abroad.
Therefore, these petitioners call upon Parliament to ban asbestos in all of its forms and institute a just transition program for asbestos workers and the communities in which they live; to end all government subsidies of asbestos, both in Canada and abroad; and to stop blocking international health and safety conventions designed to protect workers from asbestos, such as the Rotterdam convention.
Routine Proceedings
10:10 a.m.
Glenn Thibeault Sudbury, ON
Madam Speaker, I am pleased to rise today to introduce two petitions.
The first one is signed by hundreds of individuals from my riding and my area in support of an aboriginal man whom they believe to be wrongly convicted.
It speaks to a Mr. John Moore, who was accused and convicted of second degree murder in a case where the Crown agreed he was nowhere near the scene of the crime and the trial determined he played no part in the crime.
As Mr. Moore was convicted in 1979 by an all white jury, which resulted in a 10 year prison sentence and a lifetime on parole, the undersigned in this petition call on the government to recognize that this was a wrongful conviction, overturn the conviction and enter an acquital.
Animal Cruelty
Routine Proceedings
10:10 a.m.
Glenn Thibeault Sudbury, ON
Madam Speaker, the second petition wants the Criminal Code and provisions within the Criminal Code to be strengthened to prevent animal cruelty.
The petitioners believe the current laws are inadequate to prevent animal cruelty and that the Criminal Code provisions on animal cruelty have not changed much since 1892. The undersigned call on the government to present legislation to increase penalties for animal cruelty under the new section of the Criminal Code, extending protection to all vertebrate animals and limiting the slaughter of stray and wild animals without lawful intent.
Employment Insurance
Routine Proceedings
10:10 a.m.
Mark Warawa Langley, BC
Madam Speaker, I am honoured to present a petition from a number of constituents in the Fraser Valley.
There are a number of severe potentially life-threatening conditions that do not qualify for disability programs because they are not necessarily permanent. Therefore, the petitioners call upon the House of Commons to adopt legislation that would provide additional medical EI benefits at least equal to maternity EI benefits.

The state of Ohio requires you to possess Ohio auto insurance for your vehicle before you can even take it onto the road. Purchasing insurance is one way to prove that you are financially responsible as well as prepared for an accident if one should happen to occur. Possessing insurance will also ensure that you won't have to pay for any of the damages that occur in an accident up front as the insurance policy absorbs the costs for you. All you should need to do when purchasing your insurance policy is ensure it is up to the Ohio state requirements for auto insurance.
Ohio Auto Insurance Requirements
As you shop around for your Ohio auto insurance policy, ensuring that you have at least the state minimum requirement is a huge must to avoid any possible penalties. Anything above the state requirement is extra and will likely come in the form of additional coverage and increases in coverage which you can purchase of your own volition. The required minimum consists of $25,000 for death or injuries in an accident per person, $50,000 for the total deaths or injuries for 2 or more people involved in a single accident, and $25,000 for property. As long as your policy possesses these figures or more, you are completely covered by the state's requirements.
Additional Coverage
There are extra coverage options that you can add onto your state required minimum base insurance policy. These options aren't required, although you may find them to be a very good investment if they are ever needed. Collision coverage for example will pay for the damages to your own vehicle in an accident, Comprehensive coverage takes care of any costs if your car is vandalized or stolen, and Underinsured/Uninsured will cover any damages in the case of a run in with someone without insurance. Another add-on that is seen as helpful is towing and labor which will not only pay for a tow truck if your car breaks down, but will cover the cost of the labor to fix it.
Possessing Ohio auto insurance will not only prevent you from paying for damages up front, but will keep you from paying penalties due to not being insured. While the extra coverage isn't required, it is best to figure out what you need before you make a final decision on your insurance and make your purchase.

Break out the blanket and clean out the cooler! Summer's here-it's time to celebrate with a picnic.
Whether you picnic at the park, the beach or an outdoor concert, you'll love our favorite quick-to-fix and totally totable meal ideas. They're really cool, too, because they need little or no cooking.
For beverages, bring a cooler stocked with ice-cold seltzer water and 100% juice, or a thermos of fruit-flavored unsweetened iced tea. And don't let food bugs hamper your picnic: keep cold foods cold, hot foods hot, and hands and food surfaces clean.
One-Stop Picnic Pick Up: Fill your basket at our store! Pick up a roasted chicken from our deli. Grab a Mediterranean-style bagged salad that comes with all the "fixins" (such as dried fruit, nuts or cheese and reduced-fat dressing). Get a fruit platter or container of cut-up fruit from the produce department. Then swing by the bakery for yummy oatmeal raisin cookies.
Fabulous Flank Steak Sandwiches: Grill flank steak and thinly slice it at an angle across the grain. Cut a loaf of French bread in half lengthwise and brush insides with olive oil and minced garlic. Slice tomatoes and drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper. Place tomatoes and bread on grill and cook until browned (bread will take about 1-2 minutes; tomatoes, 2 minutes per side). Place steak slices on bread, then top with arugula and a sprinkle of blue cheese (if desired). Place other half of bread on top and wrap loaf tightly in foil. Put grilled tomato slices in separate container and add to loaf at picnic site before slicing into sandwiches. Serve with broccoli slaw (pick up a package of shredded broccoli/carrot mix and toss with light poppy seed dressing). Finish with chilled watermelon wedges.
Noodle-About Salad: Toss cold cooked whole-wheat spaghetti (saved from another meal) with reduced-fat Asian-style dressing. Add sliced green onion, chopped seeded cucumber, shredded carrots, thawed frozen edamame (green soybeans) and chilled, cooked shrimp. Serve with mango slices and fortune cookies.
Veggie Muffuletta: This stuffed sandwich is a New Orleans favorite. Slice the top quarter off a round loaf of crusty whole-grain bread and hollow out the insides of both sections. Spread a few spoonfuls of chopped olive mix or giardinera (pickled vegetable salad) on bottom section and add layers of grilled vegetables such as eggplant, bell peppers, zucchini, portabella mushroom and red onion. Spread inside of top section with light mayo. Reassemble loaf and tightly wrap in foil. When ready to serve, firmly press down on loaf and cut into wedges. Serve with carrot salad (toss a bag of shredded carrots with chopped dates, chopped mint, cumin, lime juice and minced jalapeño), baked potato chips and grapes.
Chicken Pinwheels: Spread jarred pesto on whole-grain burrito-size tortillas. Layer with grilled chicken, baby spinach leaves and jarred and drained roasted red peppers. Roll tightly and wrap in foil. When ready to eat, slice roll into two-inch pieces. Serve with bean salad (toss together rinsed and drained canned kidney, garbanzo and canellini beans, chopped onion and parsley, and light vinaigrette dressing), baby carrots with a side of hummus, and fresh strawberries.

If your not familiar with Matt Taibbi, put him on your must read list. Matt is a writer for Rolling Stone and has written some of the best articles over the last year about what really happened with the bailouts. Who caused the economic crash, who made the money, and where did the money go.
His latest article "Wall Street's Bailout Hustle", is not only informative but entertaining. Telling the exact way a con man works his mark until he's broken and confused. One thing is clear after reading Taibbi's work. This was not a bunch of bad decision that went south, these banks absolutely knew what they were doing, and they are already at it again trying to creating a even bigger bubble to soak up more money.
"In fact, the FED became not just a source of emergency borrowing that enabled Goldman and Morgan Stanley to stave off disaster – it became a source of long term guaranteed income. Borrowing at zero percent interest, banks like Goldman now had virtually infinite ways to make money. In one of the most common maneuvers they simply took the money they borrowed from the government at zero percent and lent it back to the government by buying Treasury bills that paid interest of three or four percent. It was basically a license to print money – no different then attaching an ATM to the side of the Federal Reserve.

David Akers (1975/88): Despite its higher price, which is due solely to the fact that it is a Carson City Mint issue, the 1890-CC is by far the most common of the three Double Eagles of this year. It is also one of the three commonest CC-Mint twenties along with the 1875-CC and 1884-CC. It is readily obtainable in any grade up to and including average uncirculated. In Choice Unc. it can be considered no more than scarce and there is also a substantial number of gems in existence. Literally hundreds of uncs of this date exist, most of them having come back to the United States from Europe in the late 1960's.

Any woman of reproductive age, who is normal and sexually active, can conceive. Pregnancy is a beautiful thing but at times it comes when least expected or prepared for. In such cases, it may be necessary to terminate (or end) the pregnancy, a process referred to as abortion. In Australia, abortion is legalized by all the states and performed by a licensed and qualified health professional. Available research indicates that a majority of Australians are in support of legal and safe abortion.
Types of abortion
Two types of abortion are performed in Australia. These include medical and surgical abortion. The choice of which method to use depends on the gestation (age) of the pregnancy. Here is a brief description of the two methods:
Surgical Abortion
Most pregnancies are usually terminated in the first trimester (7-12 weeks) of pregnancy. Surgical abortion involves low-risk procedure referred to as suction curette or suction aspiration. In this procedure, a qualified doctor carefully removes the lining and the contents of the womb (uterus) along with the developing embryo. In more advanced pregnancies, other surgical procedures are used.
Medical Abortion
Medical abortion is an alternative to surgical abortion and it is normally used when the pregnancy is less than 7-9 weeks gestation. However, each health facility has its own protocols when it comes to when medical abortion should be used. Medical abortion involves the use of Mifepristone (RU 486) or "abortion pill", as it is commonly referred to. This pill has upto 98 percent efficacy when used in the first 7-9 weeks of pregnancy. Mifepristone is widely available in most clinics in Australia.
How much does an abortion cost in Australia?
Each state in Australia has its own protocol in regard to safe and legal abortion. Furthermore, the costs of procuring either medical or surgical abortion differ across the states. So, how much does abortion cost in your state? Before listing the real cost, it is good to know factors that may affect or determine the costs first.
- The state as well as the clinic in which the procedure is performed
- The gestation of pregnancy (the more advanced it is the most costly it may be)
- The method of abortion used which could be either medical or surgical
- Availability of private health insurance as this may assist with some costs
Another important factor that can influence the cost of abortion in Australia is Medicare rebates. Medicare is a publicly funded universal health care for all Australian nationals. The standard Medicare rebate is 85 percent of the Medicare determined scheduled fee. The patient pays any cost above the scheduled payment to the health facility that performs the procedure.
If you have Medicare card, the policy will fund most of the abortion costs. However, like with other private health policies, you may be required to pay some other costs for services you will be provided with on the day of the procedure. If you have the procedure when Medicare safety nets cut in, then the entire cost of the procedure may be covered by the Medicare rebate.
Cost of Abortion in New South Wales (NSW)
Abortion is legal in NSW under certain circumstance and must be performed by a registered doctor. Currently, the average cost of surgical abortion in NSW is approximately $380 Australian dollars. The fees may range from $300 to $800 depending on the factors mentioned earlier. The cost for medical abortion has dramatically changed after the price of RU486 was slashed from $800 to a paltry $12 by Julia Gillard's announcement in 2013.
Cost of Abortion in Victoria
Some hospitals in Victoria may actually offer abortion services free of charge but only carry out limited number of abortions. If you have a Medicare card, it will take care of most of the costs but you will have to pay some out-of-pocket fees. These fees may range from $300 to $500 depending on the particular clinic or hospital you visit. The out-of-pocket fees will be higher if you do not possess a Medicare Card. Medical abortion in Victorian state is relatively cheaper given the current low price of Mifepristone (RU486).
Cost of Abortion in Queensland (QLD)
Currently, abortion in Queensland is a crime unless it is recommended by a registered doctor. However, if you will have abortion, the amount of money you will pay will depend on whether you are a Medicare cardholder or not. The overall cost of early term abortions will start from $400 to $500 after the rebate but women in more remote locations may have to pay more. The pricing for surgical abortions is distributed as follows in Queensland: Up to 11 weeks: $480 – $580, 11 to 14 weeks: $500 – $740, and 14 to 16 weeks: $800 – $1370 for Medicare card holders.
Cost of Abortion in Western Australia (WA)
Abortion is legal in Western Australia as long as you are over 16 years and the pregnancy is less than 20 weeks gestation. If you reside in Western Australia and you have unwanted pregnancy you wish to terminate, be ready to part with between $350 and $850 depending on whether you possess the Medicare card or not. In order to know the how much it will cost in a particular clinic then you will have contact that clinic or hospital. The cost for medical abortions and surgical abortions approximates each other in terms of cost.
Cost of Abortion in Tasmania
Tasmania is one of the more difficult states in Australia to get abortion services. This is partly because of the laws and regulations governing elective abortion. However, things have improved since the year 2013. This also means that the cost of procuring either medical abortion or surgical abortion remains high even for the holders of the Medicare card. Nevertheless, it is not easy to know the cost of abortion in Tasmania without contacting the clinics that offer the services.
Cost of Abortion in Northern Territory (NT)
In Northern Territory, medical or surgical termination of pregnancy can be done before 14 weeks gestation, if two registered doctors agree in good faith that there is a course to believe that carrying on with the pregnancy is risky to the mother. Procuring abortion in Northern Territory will cost you between $480 and $740 if you are a Medicare Card holder. The costs for medical and surgical abortions are averagely the same.
I believe the information above has sufficiently answered the question "how much does an abortion cost in Australia?" The exact cost is difficult to deduce as many confounding factors may affect how much you will pay at a given time. It is therefore important to contact clinics and public hospitals in these states to find out the exact charges before you make up your mind to visit the facility.

BookPage Reviews
Life of Pi
Martel won the Man Booker Prize in 2002 for this wonderfully original novel, which recounts the remarkable life of Pi Patel. The son of a zookeeper, Pi is raised in Pondicherry, India, with a deep understanding of the natural world and a curiosity about religion that leads him from Hinduism to Christianity to Islam and beyond. When his father decides to move the family to Canada, they set off on a freighter, animals in tow. But a shipwreck leaves Pi drifting in the Pacific on a lifeboat with a zebra, a hyena and a Bengal tiger for company. Floating in the shark-filled water for 227 days, Pi somehow survives, battling starvation, the elements and his own worst fearsand befriending the tiger. Martel skillfully blends Pi's adventures of the mind and spirit with an unforgettable physical journey, making this a magical coming-of-age narrative.
A reading group guide is included in the book.

When ever I have walked past a shop selling any type of oolong I have felt an irresistible desire to buy. This has led to me running out of storage containers. Usually the tea I buy just comes in a foil bag, so this can not be used to store the tea. It is not air tight and looks unsightly.
One solution I have found is to wash and re-use a plastic canister that used to hold vitamin C tablets. I cut off the labels from from the foil package and taped them to the the outside of the canister so I can remember which tea is which.
But I have found a problem with the one plastic canister I was using. The tea I was storing in a plastic canister now has a distinctive plastic smell to it. This mostly goes after washing the leaves, but still it is not desirable.
It looks like I might have to stop being so tight assed and shell out for some better canisters. One option I have is a cardboard tube canister, but I'm not sure if the cardboard would be treated with any chemicals that might taint the tea. Another option is wooden canisters, but they are big and unsightly, atleast the ones I have seen are. I was hoping to find some porcelain or clay canisters locally, but I just have to keep looking.
So what do you use to store your tea? What would you recommend ?

Different, but still greed
It is not greedy or selfish to enjoy the fruits of one's own labor. It is greedy, selfish and slothful to try to live off the fruits of your neighbors' labors.
If you spend half of the summer preparing and caring for a garden, and your neighbors are free to help themselves, and you have nothing to say about it that certainly can discourage you from planting the following year. Nothing discourages incentive more than to remove its rewards.
The reason anyone does anything constructive, is in the expectation of reaping the rewards. Our Constitution does not guarantee us happiness, but only the right to pursue it. It guarantees us the right to liberty, but not the liberty to rob, or live off the bounty of our more productive neighbors. Robbing banks is still illegal in this country, and should remain so, even for the government.
Modern communication has created a new age of tremendously large mass markets. This is a new phenomenon, which has made some positioned in the right place and time enormously rich. This vast wealth in the hands of some gives the schemers among them a great deal of power to influence the direction of society. It is a mistake to assume that all of these people have your best interests at heart, especially the ones who promise you that you are their main concern. To deal with their wealth, and its ability to affect the lives of the rest of us, and do it with justice, and fairness rather than blunt confiscation becomes a challenge.
We have politicians who would gain votes by promising to just tax the rich more so that we all can share in their good fortune. It appeals to many people to live without worry on someone else's dime. "Hey what do they need all that money for anyway!" Therein lies the destruction of society. Both envy of the rich, and snobbery toward the truly destitute, are destructive to a healthy, and productive society.
Many of these super-rich people have found it an interesting hobby to effectively take control of many issues at stake in government. They spend large sums of money to bankroll their favorite candidates, lobbyists, and political action committees to forward their pet causes. Politicians make lifetime careers by catering to these sugar daddies, ending up as millionaires themselves.
Many people in the government share a common concern for simply keeping themselves in control. Their concern seems to be, not so much saving the ship, as just making sure they have a reserved seat in one of the lifeboats. It is very difficult for a peasant like myself without a large bankroll to have any clout. In this new age if we are unable to get term limits on our Congress we shall inevitably lose our freedoms, if we haven't already.
Simply raising taxes on the rich will not bring in that much money anyway. It may sound good, but without effectively closing all those loopholes, or fencing everyone in, there will always be ways of evading taxes. Lawyers always provide loopholes. Finding ways to avoid consequences is their business.
Besides, let's face it, simple confiscation is, or should be, distasteful to any red blooded American. To get anyone to donate willingly we ought to amend the Constitution to say that any money spent to influence a political cause, whether a donation to a campaign, to a lobbyist, or to a political action committee; an equal amount must be donated to the general budget, and is in no way related to their tax bill. That is to say that anything they do to influence our lives must be balanced by an equal amount to support our government in general.
Anyone must support our government, if they wish to influence it. Such a law would doubtless lower political donations; and perhaps yearlong campaign ads would be fewer, thank heaven, and the debt may shrink a bit faster than just raising taxes. May God bless America.

Coldstone Creamery
Donald and Susan Sutherland, who opened the first Coldstone Creamery in Tempe in 1988, call what they do an "ice cream experience." That's pretty accurate, given that they do anything and everything with the yummy frozen stuff. They sell smoothies, cakes and shakes. But the biggest draw for ice-cream screamers is probably the custom creations mixed and blended on Coldstone's signature frozen granite stone. Customers choose their favorite ice cream (made fresh daily) and mix in nuts, fruits, candies, cookies or brownies to make their own outrageous concoctions, served in bowls or waffle cones.

An uncommon celebration of the common loon Sunday
PAUL SMITHS – Biodiversity Research Institute's Adirondack Center for Loon Conservation and the Paul Smith's College VIC are teaming up to present a celebration of one of the Adirondacks' most iconic birds – the common loon.
This unique event is free and will be held from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday at the VIC on state Route 30 in Paul Smiths.
The day will include "loony" activities for the whole family, including the following:
-A loon calling contest
-Merriloons the Clown to entertain the kids with face-painting, balloons, etc.
-A concert by Jamie Savage, an Adirondack singer-songwriter
-A field trip to observe loon behavior first-hand
-A scavenger hunt
-A loon quilt raffle and silent auction
-A presentation and display about loon natural history and conservation.
The results of the ongoing raffle for the queen-sized loon quilt will be also announced at a reception in the late afternoon. Raffle tickets for the handmade quilt ($5 each or six for $25) can be downloaded at www.briloon.org/adkloon.
Additionally, the Adirondack Interpretive Center of Newcomb will have little rubber loons on hand for purchase. Loon-related food will also be available throughout the day.
"The day will be an exciting opportunity to learn about loon natural history, threats affecting their populations and ongoing loon research and conservation efforts in the Adirondack Park," Dr. Nina Schoch, coordinator of BRI's Adirondack Center for Loon Conservation, said in a press release. "We are thrilled to have John Ozard and Ben Tabor from (the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation) judge the loon calling contest – they are both very experienced in trying to catch our study loons, so I'm sure there will be tight competition to determine the best yodels, tremolos and wails!"
BRI's Adirondack Center for Loon Conservation is dedicated to improving the overall health of the environment, especially air and water quality, through collaborative research and outreach focusing on the natural history of the common loon and conservation issues affecting loon populations and their aquatic habitats.
BRI and its collaborators have conducted research on the Adirondack loon population since 1998 to evaluate the impact of mercury pollution on aquatic ecosystems and to learn more about loon migration and the health of Adirondack loons. BRI's Adirondack Center for Loon Conservation also conducts educational programs such as the Science on the Fly! school curriculum to increase public understanding about conservation concerns affecting the Adirondack loon population and the aquatic ecosystem where the birds live.
For more information about this event or to register for the field trip, visit www.adkloon.org or contact firstname.lastname@example.com or 888-749-5666 x 145.
