Issue Brief #3781 on Taxes
November 26, 2012
November 26, 2012 | Issue Brief on Taxes
In his first press conference after the election, President Barack Obama said, "What I'm not going to do is extend the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest 2 percent that we cannot afford and according to economists will have the least positive impact on the economy."[1]
The good news is that President Obama apparently truly believes what he is saying. The bad news is that what he is saying is flat-out false.
As to whether the nation can afford not to raise taxes on the wealthiest 2 percent, consider that according to his budget, Obama's proposal to raise taxes on individuals with incomes more than $250,000 would generate $835.6 billion over 10 years if one ignores the damage done to the economy in the process.
Accept the revenue estimate for a moment and ignore the economic damage that would ensue—and thus the lesser increase in revenues it would generate. Even after granting all the phony spending cuts and similar gimmicks in Obama's budget of last February, federal debt held by the public rises by $8.5 trillion over the next 10 years without the tax hike and by $7.7 trillion with the tax hike. Expressed another way, allowing some of the Bush tax cuts to expire as Obama demands represents less than 10 percent of the projected debt increase.
More recently, President Obama has upped the ante significantly, first to $1.4 trillion and then to $1.6 trillion in higher taxes. These numbers do not come out of thin air. The $1.4 trillion figure represents the noted expiration of the Bush tax cuts plus $574 billion in all-new tax hikes. To get to the $1.6 trillion figure, the President would also abandon the recent agreement on the death tax and go back to an earlier, more punitive formulation.
Two observations are immediately apparent. First, Obama is no longer talking about allowing tax cuts to expire. These are all new tax hikes. Second, even after doubling the amount of tax hike, the national debt still goes up by about $7 trillion over the next 10 years.
The only possible conclusion is that the revenues from Obama's tax-hike demand—either his original demand or the double-up—barely dent today's deficit or the projected increase in the debt. Obama's revenue demands express his vision of social justice, not an economic policy or even a budget policy. To address the deficit, Obama should focus on the problem: an excess of spending. What we cannot afford is to continue spending money at the rate Obama demands.
Obama says that "according to economists," keeping taxes from rising "will have the least positive impact on the economy." Apparently, Obama continues to talk only to his economists and their fellow travelers.
Recall that these are the same economists who said that Obama's 2009 stimulus would drive down the unemployment rate. It did not work. They are the same economists who told us the payroll tax holiday would create jobs. It did not work. They are close cousins, by the way, to the economists plying their trade in Europe, driving national unemployment rates above 25 percent in country after country while driving the continent toward another deep recession.
Of all the Bush tax cuts, the reductions in the top rates were not the least effective in strengthening the economy as Obama claims. In fact, they were the most effective because they struck at the very heart of the economic dynamic: incentives. Higher tax rates discourage entrepreneurship and risk taking. They discourage saving by those most capable of saving and, as even the Congressional Budget Office now admits, discourage work effort.[2]
Higher tax rates have these effects because those who are subject to the rates can and do adjust their behavior—sometimes immediately, sometimes after a period. They then take fewer business risks, work fewer hours (or even retire), and save less.
Tax-hike advocates will no doubt once again claim that when they raised tax rates in 1993 under President Clinton, not only did warnings of a recession prove to be unfounded, but the economy subsequently boomed. In fact, though Clinton's tax hikes didn't trigger recession, they certainly took the wind out of the economy's sails at a time when it should have come roaring back from recession.[3] The famous Clinton boom did not follow the tax hikes. The subsequent boom came four years later after an anemic recovery, slow wage growth, and slow job growth. The famous Clinton boom followed the cut in the capital gains tax rate in 1997. Supporters of higher rates tend to skip over these inconvenient facts.
With metaphysical certainty, raising tax rates will slow the economy now and leave wages and incomes permanently lower. Whether the tax hike produces a recession or not depends on how weak the economy is as it faces this new headwind. Hopefully, the economy will be strong enough to take the hit if it comes and then pick up steam as best it can under the new burden.
It is perhaps the greatest irony in American economic policy that those advocating higher income tax rates believe that incentives matter only when the advocates are trying to dictate behavior. For example, The Washington Post recently editorialized in favor of higher cigarette taxes to discourage smoking.[4] The sad, growing fascination with a carbon tax is another case in point. Why a carbon tax? Aside from the massive revenues it promises, proponents argue (correctly) that a carbon tax would create incentives for businesses to move away from carbon-producing activities.
But when it comes to the behaviors that are truly relevant for a strong economy, President Obama and friends turn a blind eye to incentives.
The nation cannot afford the spending surge initiated under President Obama. The nation's workers cannot afford the sustained additional upward pressure on unemployment that would follow from raising tax rates. The problem is government spending, especially entitlements. President Obama and Congress should focus on the problem and forget these destructive tax-hike obsessions.

Suspended Gilberton police chief tapes 'Business Matters' at WFMZ
SALISBURY TWP., Pa. - There were no entourage, no controversy and no weapons. Suspended Gilberton police Chief Mark Kessler arrived at the 69 News studios alone Thursday.
He sat down to tape a half-hour segment for 'Business Matters.' Host Tony Iannelli took aim at second amendment rights and at all of the reasons Kessler has gained fame.
"You've had a lot of attention, national attention, do you ever wonder, wake up some mornings and think how'd I get myself into this thing," Iannelli asked.
"Once in a while," Kessler answered. "Yeah, once in a while, but it is what it is and I don't regret none of it."
Kessler is fighting to keep his job as police chief in Gilberton, Schuylkill Co. He was suspended at the end of July after posting profanity laced gun rights videos online.
"I can see the shock and awe value of those videos did frighten people, but again that's what those videos were specifically designed for, shock and awe," he explained.
A termination hearing for Kessler was halted last week after a handgun belonging to one of his supporters fell on the concrete floor.
Back in the studio, tensions rose when Mike Morrill from Keystone Progress pulled the trigger on his issues with Kessler.
"This is not about being able to shoot guns or have videos, this is about somebody has the temperament to be a police officer," Morrill started.
"That's your opinion," Kessler interrupted.
"No it's the way a police officer should operate," maintained Morrill.
"That's your opinion," Kessler stated.
Kessler acknowledges he'll most likely lose his job. While he waits, he is running a write-in campaign for Schuylkill County sheriff.
"People need to wake up and realize what's going on in our country," added Kessler.

"The Places You'll Go" is an occasional series of blog posts from Flight Training readers about the adventures they experience with a new pilot certificate. We hope these posts will inspire you to press on to the finish line of your own certificate. If you would like to submit a post, email Jill Tallman.—Ed.
When we first get the itch to become an aviator, there could be a number of reasons why. Some folks become pilots to make a living flying. Some just for fun. Then there are the ones who do it to test their skills, explore, and enjoy the many destinations that are out there.
Recently my flying partner and best friend Frank Grossman and I fulfilled one of our "bucket list" flying destinations…Alton Bay, New Hampshire. B18 is located at the southern tip of Lake Winnipesaukee and is the only registered ice landing airport in the continental United States. (Ed. note: It's a seaplane base in the summer.) For a very short period in January and February, the lake freezes over enough to allow general aviation aircraft to land. Frank owns a beautiful 1965 Cherokee 260 Six, which we take all over the place when the opportunity arises.
The day of our trip starting out at Greater Rochester International Airport, we were blessed with clear skies and a nice tailwind to boot. Thirty miles from the bay we encountered clouds and winds, which only got more intense as we got closer. The approach from the south using Runway 1 requires you to make a short-field landing over the hill and trees with swirling winds for us that day were 23 gusting to 31 straight down our nose. The runway was marked by cones since there was not a hint of snow, making it slick glare ice, so braking was pretty much nil! The outside air temp was around 20 degrees but the winds were strong, giving us concern for the Six to get pushed around; chocks were useless unless they had nails driven into the bottoms.
After enjoying a tasty burger and fries while meeting some of the friendly locals, we received our certificate for skillfully landing on the ice. Frank and I loaded up the Six, pointed back into the 30-knot headwind, and were airborne in about 500 feet. The local folks had asked if we could do a return for approach from the north so they could get some photos. Of course we could, it was our pleasure. The winds are very tricky in that end of the lake, which cuased a couple moments of "let's think this through" before we proceeded. Once clear of the lake, we pointed the nose skyward for the journey back home to KROC, still enjoying some gusty winds. We reached our cruise altitude of 8,500 feet and began to enjoy some much calmer air that only got smoother as the sun started to settle.
Some folks might ask why someone would even consider taking a flight like this knowing that you could run into unfavorable conditions and not be able to get to your primary destination. We as pilots train, train, and train some more so that we have all of the variables in place regarding each and every situation. Safety is first and foremost; it is the number one item at the top of the list with no substitutes. We plan, lay out our options, and go if everything looks right–no second guesses. So why did Frank and I make this trip to such a beautiful destination? To enjoy the rewards of experiencing just such a flight that tested our skills, to explore a place that we had only heard of, and to be able to pass on to others…because we are pilots. Now if you will excuse me, I need to finish up planning our next trip. Blue skies, tailwinds, and most of all, let's be safe out there. —Pat Collins

Modest plans and expectations might lead to joy for online retailers.
Few phrases beyond "pitchers and catchers report" make me as giddy as "cautiously optimistic." As a reporter, I try to maintain an allergy to hype and excessive positive thinking. Expectations often fall flat, and so many game-changers end up changing nothing except the size of investors' bank accounts.
That's why the past few weeks have been positively joyful.
First came a series of reports about what the upcoming holiday shopping season might mean for online retailers. The E-tailing Group surveyed more than 250 e-retailers and found that while only 31% expected growth of 10% or more in holiday shopping, most did anticipate selling more products this year than last. "Respondents confirm that e-tailers have a cautious yet positive mindset and are prepared to meet the challenges ahead," said Lauren Freedman, president of the market research firm.
Other reports reinforced those expectations. Yesterday, Kantar Retail, a research and consulting firm, estimated that online holiday sales will increase 6% this year. Bold Software, which sells live chat services, released results of a survey of 171 e-commerce clients that found 65% expect gains in holiday sales, with 33% anticipating the same results as last year, and only 2% predicting a worse shopping season.
The brightest ray of sunshine piercing through the partly cloudy sky was the projection from stock analyst Colin Sebastian of Lazard Capital Markets. He foresees a 10% to 15% jump in e-retail sales this holiday season. I am rooting for him to be right. A strong holiday shopping season helps everyone.
Another dose of cautious optimism was offered this week just outside Dallas, at the annual conference held by Shop.org, the online retailing division of the National Retail Federation. I have attended dozens of conferences for various publications, and in so many of them it was far too easy to run into various executives and consultants doing their song and dance about The Next Big Thing.
But on two moderately cool autumn days, I listened to online retailers and online retailing experts discuss in a reasonable manner what is happening to this industry. Absent for the most part were bold, somewhat utopian predictions of how emerging technologies would perfect the shopping experience while funding a Jay Gatsby lifestyle for entrepreneurs.
For example, many of the speakers devoted time to social media and the prospects for social commerce—you know, turning Facebook, Twitter and their various competitors into a fountain of retail revenue. Few doubt that social media is changing, and will continue to change, how consumers shop. Facebook, after all, has half a billion users—half of whom check the site no less than once a day, according to one estimate—and retailers cannot ignore such a large collection of consumers.
Things often move slowly, however. Amid a retailer-dominated audience of more than 200, only one woman—who works for a Canada-based apparel firm—raised her hand when a moderator asked who had made money off of Facebook.
In that same session, Josh Himwich, who oversees e-commerce efforts for Diapers.com and Soap.com, set what I thought was a wonderful tone of realism when he advised retailers to forget about social commerce's return on investment, at least for the time being, and focus simply on how to make friends with consumers through a site such as Facebook. "It's about building up relationships," he said. "Without those, no social commerce will happen."
Himwich also offered a reminder about why people flock to Facebook when he said that consumers go there to socialize, not spend 20 minutes shopping. That's why Himwich wants to offer consumers on Facebook the ability to do what he called microtasks—in this case, making it possible, within two minutes, for customers on Facebook to buy products they regularly reorder, and then letting those shoppers get on with the work of catching up with friends, mothers-in-law and high-school sweethearts.
Sure, the microtask concept may be more difficult for retailers selling products not used every day for health and hygiene. But Himwich's comments represent the kind of cautious, anti-utopian thinking that could lead online retailers to a better place.

Harbinger's Falcone Clipped By Misconduct Settlement
Updated from 4:57 p.m. ET with comment from Phil Falcone
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Philip Falcone has admitted to wrongdoing in an $18 million settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission that bars the embattled hedge fund titan from Wall Street for five years and may mark a turning point for enforcement in financial markets.
The SEC said Monday that Falcone and his firm Harbinger Capital Partners will admit to wrongdoing in a string of charges brought forward last year . Falcone will also be barred from the securities industry for at least five years.
In June of 2012, the SEC filed an enforcement action against Falcone that alleged he improperly used $113 million in fund assets to pay his personal taxes and secretly favored certain customer redemption requests at the expense of other investors. Harbinger was accused of market manipulation, by orchestrating an improper "short squeeze" in bonds issued by a Canadian manufacturing company.
An earlier deal allowed Falcone and Harbinger to settle with the SEC without admitting wrongdoing. After the settlement was rejected, Falcone and his once giant hedge fund are now leveling up to multiple charges of misconduct.
"Falcone and Harbinger engaged in serious misconduct that harmed investors, and their admissions leave no doubt that they violated the federal securities laws," Andrew Ceresney, co-director of the SEC's Division of Enforcement, said in a statement.
"I am pleased that we were able to reach a settlement to resolve these matters with the SEC," Falcone said in an e-mailed statement. "I believe putting these issues behind me now is the best course of action for me and our investors," Falcone added.
While Falcone's admission means he will now be barred from some Wall Street activity, the once prominent hedge fund manager will continue to work with finance and investments. The settlement will allow Falcone to focus on maximizing the value of a failed wireless venture, LightSquared, which is owned by Harbinger. "I remain committed to managing Harbinger Capital's portfolio of investments for the benefit of our investors," Falcone said.
In its initial charge, the SEC alleged that Falcone illegally used $113 million in client funds to pay his personal taxes, while also engaging in illegal bond and stock trading. The SEC said Falcone and Harbinger never asked for consent from investors and misrepresented details to its legal adviser, which approved the transaction.
The hedge fund manager was also accused of misappropriation in allowing some investors to pull $169 million from his floundering hedge fund. At the time, the fund was suffering losses and had suspended investors from redeeming their money. Harbinger investors also suffered from preferential treatment for some clients, which allowed some clients to pull $170 million from otherwise locked-up funds, the complaint said.

Posted on 08/07/2013 6:31:29 PM PDT by Morgana
Character actor and puppeteer Gus "Cosmo" Allegretti, who voiced such "Captain Kangaroo" characters as Bunny Rabbit, Mr. Moose, Grandfather Clock, and Dancing Bear, has died, the Los Angeles Times reports.
Allegretti died of emphysema on July 26, though his death wasn't publicized until Wednesday.
Allegretti played numerous characters on the long-running Emmy-winning children's show, which featured the late Bob Keeshan as Captain Kangaroo. Allegretti himself created Bunny Rabbit, a bespectacled bunny who tricked the Captain into giving up his carrots, and Mr. Moose, whose corny jokes resulted in a shower of ping-pong balls falling on the Captain's head. He also played Dennis the Apprentice, Dancing Bear, Grandfather Clock, Miss Frog, TV Fred and other characters.

Bunny Rabid didn't have a voice. He was mute.
Rabid = Rabbit.
Bunny Rabbit did NOT talk!
makes the job pretty easy then
I remember reading the auditions were really tough and it took forever to find the winner.
Chill both of you! This article was written (more than likely) by someone under 40 who never saw the show and has no idea what it means to drop millions of ping pong balls on the Captain!!
I mean really! The only reason I watched that show was to see the Moose drop ping pong balls on the Captain.
My first thought. All he did was drop ping pong balls.
I used to wake up at 6:00 AM on Saturday mornings to watch that show. The ping pong balls for some reason were the most hilarious thing on TV for me.
Was royally ticked when they switched it out for Romper Room.
I hate to hear this. However, I just wish all the Mr. Greenjeans stunt doubles around here would do better at keeping their d******* cows put up!
I saw the show in black and white on our 1952 Majestic TV. I never saw it in color.
FWIW, I always thought Dancing Bear was a fag.
Does anyone remember Icky Twerp?
Of course he was a local guy here in Dallas-FW just like Mr. Peppermint was.
I waited every episode for those ping pong balls! I laughed so hard as a kid!
I liked Grandfather Clock
Gosh, I hope Tom Terrific is OK.
I did not grow up here but I know who he is.
Tragic story.
Puffin' Billy--The Melodi Light Orchestra (1953)
To this day, when things come crashing down and go bouncing around, while my oldest brother might make reference to Fibber McGee, I just say "ping pong balls".
When I was a kid back in the 60's, we had Uncle Orrie & Ferdie Fussbuget. They were on a Dayton Station.
Just a local thing I guess. Weird how they had local talent in those days when they can't find talent around the world now.
many male dancers are, so you're probably right. :-)
Nope, that was Mr. Moose. Bunny Rabbit just tricked the Captain out of carrots.
Tom Terrific... Rocky and Bullwinkle... Somebody or other whose name eludes me at the moment and his pet boy Sherman...
Great stuff, long before - and much better than - the crap on Sesame Street.
Mr. Peabody & Sherman.
Thank you!!!
When I was a Kid, they opened a new Shopping Bag Grocery Store where we lived and Engineer Bill was there IN PERSON!
He had a Train Whistle Prize Machine. If you pulled the right handle and the Whistle went off, you won a prize. My buddy won the big prize, a scooter, and I won a Frisbee.
Those were the days, Children's innocence is a lost art nowadays.
Hobo Kelly was on Local TV as well but I never watched her.
I guess that makes me Misogynist.
I'm guessing most of the above are dead except for the cartoons. Heck, even Pete Boyles son (who played the Dad on 'Everybody Loves Raymond') is dead.
Yikes, I'm old.
I think they had a "wayback machine".
"Each episode of "Peabody's Improbable History" begins with the dog's greeting, "Peabody here." The premise each week was to introduce Sherman to real history. For that purpose, Peabody has constructed the WABAC (pronounced "wayback") machine. The WABAC is a take-off on early computer acronyms such as UNIVAC and ENIAC.[2] The WABAC is a time machine used by Peabody and Sherman to travel back in time and witness various historical events."
I loved that show!!
Don't know if you have ever seen the show "Mystery Science Theatre 3000" but they did a parody of the ping pong balls once.
Remember Gerald McBoingBoing?
But Bunny Rabbit did make carrot crunching sounds.
Neither did Dancing Bear.
He returned in 1954 with The Pinky Lee Show, an Emmy-nominated afternoon children's program that spawned later imitators such as Pee-Wee's Playhouse. It was followed each day by the popular Howdy Doody Show. He opened each show with his trademark theme song, "Yoo Hoo, It's Me!":
Yoo hoo, it's me,
My name is Pinky Lee.
I skip and run with lots of fun
For every he and she.
It's plain to see
That you can tell it's me
With my checkered hat
And my checkered coat,
The funny giggle in my throat
And my silly dance
Like a billy goat.
Put 'em all together,
Put 'em all together,
And it's whooooo?
(Audience): Pinky!
A few additions to your excellent list: Fractured Fairy Tales and Aesop's Fables. Sky King, Spin and Marty, Woody Woodpecker.
Thanks for that. Laughing so hard my husband had to find out what I was watching.
And the Wayback Machine.
BIG childhood favorites....
We watched Captain Kangaroo in the early morning, before going to school.
Sheriff John's Lunch Brigade came on at 11:00 AM, and Engineer Bill aired around 6:00 PM.
Earlier in the afternoon was the Popeye Show, hosted by Tom Hatton, a WWII Navy vet who wore a sailor's outfit while he played Popeye cartoons.
On May 22, 1958, Hatton and the Popeye cartoons were pre-empted by news coverage of a massive explosion and fire at the Hancock oil refinery in Signal Hill, which sent smoke over our home, located about 20 miles away. And on May 5, 1961, Captain Kangaroo was interrupted by "a special telecast"--the launching of Alan B. Shepard, America's first astronaut, into space.
Crabby Appleton - rotten to the core!
Hard to believe it was half a century ago, and funny what one remembers. I can easily recall Captain Kangaroo and Mr. Greenjeans, Bunny Rabbit and Mr. Moose, but can't remember what I did last week.
A routine practical joke for my group was to booby trap someone's home with as many pranks as possible. Second only to the cellophane over the toilet bowl my favorite was a the Mister Moose treatment...a hundred or so ping pong balls suspended by fish net over a door, rigged to release once the door was open. Good time...good times.
Yeah, I don't remember Dancing Bear having a lot to say, either. Someone needs to stop letting millenials write their copy for them.

So are ya judging the current regime on the current roster, the players who are gone that were acquired by the other regime or are you judging the current on the future?
I'm judging Dolan & those around him by the players acquired since Dolan bought the team. Why should they get credit for CC, Victor & others who were in the system when Dolan bought the team?
I will say that Cabrera and Kipnis, Choo and Santana and Masterson, Perez and Pestano were the product of this regime, no?
They've missed like the other regime missed (Alex Cole, Mark Whiten, Glenallen Hill long term deals if I recall correctly) but the nucleus of this team was put together by this regime and there is quality there.
I didn't say there was no quality, but we're looking at another rebuild under this regime because some of the quality is close to walking & we have 1 top prospect in the minors.
The former regime brought in HOF-like players in Thome, Manny, Belle, CC, Omar & Robbie. Money played a factor in just 1...Robbie, so small market conditions can't be used for this regime not being able to bring in better talent.

I like to think of North Carolina as fairly progressive, especially for a Southern state.
After all, Barack Obama carried the Tarheel state in the 2008 presidential election and only narrowly lost it last year.
But then, from time to time, I'm reminded that North Carolina still has a few states' rights loonies in public office, as we see HERE:
The Constitution �does not grant the federal government and does not grant the federal courts the power to determine what is or is not constitutional� according to a resolution sponsored by North Carolina House Majority Leader Edgar Starnes and ...

In the lead up to the opener last week, the commitment to OSU of running back Warren Ball went almost unnoticed. The 6' 0", 200 lb Ball from Columbus DeSales is the real deal. The other stud Ohio RB for 2012, Glen Oak's Brionte Dunn had 300 yards Friday night in a monster performance. He's even bigger than Ball, like 6'2", 220.
Here's some sophomore year video on Ball, in case you haven't seen any yet.

On April 22, much of the world will celebrate international Earth Day. Like many fads, the popularity of this event has waned throughout much of the West. This may owe something to the fact that the dire consequences predicted by many ecologists have not eventuated. Despite this, many people of faith continue to preach a type of "Green Gospel," claiming that an ecological apocalypse will be upon us unless various policies – usually involving various forms of government regulation – are immediately adopted.
It is true that the Green Gospel has changed its character somewhat over the past 10 years. Believers have come a long way since the days of processionals of elephants and bacteria in petri dishes in the Episcopal Church's Cathedral of St John the Divine in New York. Likewise the flirtation with the junk science of Gaia theory seems confined to a dwindling number of liberation theologians, ex-priests, and self-described feminist eco-theologians.
But while environmentalists within faith communities now wisely distance themselves from the neo-pagan tendencies that emerged throughout the 1990s, some things have not changed.
The first is a habit of accepting uncritically the predictions of an ecological doomsday by environmental activists and some scientists. Associated with this is that very unscientific habit of ignoring any contrary evidence.
A second ongoing problem is the tendency to consider environmental problems as being of equal or more significance as the ongoing war against innocent human life that continues to flourish in the form of the ever-expanding, ever-cancerous culture of death. To be sure, the random and senseless destruction of the natural world is a sin. To equate, however, such actions with killing the unborn or euthanizing the elderly, the sick, or the disabled simply cannot be reconciled with any orthodox Christian moral theology.
Then there is the habit of associating environmental responsibility with government intervention. Rarely does one come across acknowledgment in many Christian environmental circles that the world's biggest polluters were the statist regimes that once dominated Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. One also searches in vain through the writings of many Christian environmentalists for recognition of the strength of private property-based solutions to environmental problems.
The beauty of these solutions does not just lie in their proven effectiveness. Utility and effectiveness have their place in the Christian moral life, but they are strictly subordinate to the demand to avoid evil and to participate in the moral goods that are at the root of human flourishing.
From this standpoint, the moral strength of private-property solutions is to be found in the manner in which they place direct responsibility for the natural world squarely in the hands of real flesh-and-blood individuals. To this extent, they also prevent us from shirking such responsibilities by delegating them to politicians and bureaucrats.
Of course, no one person can possibly assume responsibility for the entire natural world. Private property-based solutions, however, enable literally thousands of individuals and communities to concretize their responsibility to be good stewards of the earth precisely by allowing them to exercise what Genesis describes as each person's dominion over the earth.
The exercise of this dominion is not, of course, unrestricted. If it is to be morally good, such dominion must be actualized in accordance with the requirements of God's divine law, including that portion that can be known through unaided human reason, or what we call the natural moral law. To suggest otherwise would be to suggest that humans know better than God about the truth of moral good and moral evil.
Within these parameters, however, private property-based solutions to environmental problems allow people to apply their knowledge directly to the issues confronting them. In this sense, they represent a concrete application of the principle of subsidiarity to environmental issues.
This is not to say that government has no role to play in addressing environmental questions. Man's dealings with the natural world are not a "law-free" zone. Any accurate appreciation of subsidiarity, however, suggests that environmental problems are best-addressed at the level closest to the difficulty, until that individual or community have proven themselves manifestly incapable of resolving the question.
On this Earth Day, then, let us hope that Christians will continue to distance themselves from the decidedly non-Christian and unscientific elements within the various environmental movements, and discover the truly nature-friendly ideas that can be found within their own traditions. That is one way to respect the glory of God's creative act while honoring the human person who is at the summit of God's creation.

Had time to kill this AM as the oldest slept at my mom's place so no need to take him to daycare. Get close to the office and have about a 30 minutes to kill. Why get in any earlier when I don't need / want to.
So I stopped into Corky and Lenny's on Chagrin and get what is becoming my favorite breakfast. Croned beef has with poached egg and wheat toast. This stuff is addicting. Thankfully I usually don't have enough time to stop and eat breakfast otherwise my cholesterol would be twice what it is by now.
By the way, they also have great rueben's and regular corned beef sandwhiches.

Seattle Chamber Players Presents American Chamber DancePosted by s21concerts in Concert Announcement, tags: Charles T. Griffes, George McKay, Henry Cowell, Ivan Sokolov, John Cage, Lou Harrison, Seattle Chamber Players
Seattle Chamber Players Presents
SCP presents rarely performed ballets conceived for chamber ensemble and dancers by maverick American composers Charles T. Griffes, Henry Cowell, John Cage, George McKay and Lou Harrison. The performances will showcase rarely heard works that these diverse American composers created especially for dance. The project exhibits the uncommon genre of chamber ballet, with intimate-scale music composed specifically for choreographic staging. The project includes a significant amount of research spent locating, studying and reconstructing the music scores as well as in the development of new choreographic interpretations. Project is supported by a substantial grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.
Program One: Marriage at the Eiffel Tower
Wednesday, November 2, 2011, at 8pm
Chapel Performance Space at Good Shepherd Center
4649 Sunnyside Ave. N., Seattle
Paige Barnes, choreographic direction and dance
Mônica Mata Gilliam, dance
Vanessa DeWolf, dramaturg
Bellamy Pailthorp and Matthew Kocmieroski, narrators
Ivan Sokolov, piano
Dave Proscia, lighting design
Henry Cowell/John Cage/George McKay: Marriage at the Eiffel Tower
Staged by Bonnie Bird at Cornish College in Seattle on March 24-25, 1939
For piano and auxiliary instruments
Lou Harrison: Marriage at the Eiffel Tower
Choreographed by Bonnie Bird at Reed College in Portland, Oregon, in 1949
For flute, clarinet, trumpet, violin, cello, double bass, piano and percussion
Marriage at the Eiffel Tower by Jean Cocteau serves as the basis for two works on the program. One of them, a collective work by Henry Cowell, John Cage and George McKay, was horeographed and produced by Bonnie Bird at the Cornish School in Seattle in 1939. Only several movements of the score (and only the works by Cowell) have been published and performed in subsequent years. Ten years after the premiere of the Cowell/Cage/McKay piece, Bonnie Bird commissioned another work with the same title from composer Lou Harrison.

Dressed to the Nines
In the Hamptons, where every real estate inch is worth its weight in gold, bucolic five-acre properties are usually the stuff of fantasy, not reality. But occasionally, an enchanting (if not enchanted) property does become available, as one did 12 years ago, when a prominent New York businessman heard about a house for sale a mile from the ocean and the town of Bridgehampton. "I had looked over the years at many houses," he says. "This time, the minute I went down the driveway, which was curving and lined with apple trees, I knew—even before I went into the house."
In the living room of a Bridgehampton, New York, home designed by Timothy Haynes and Kevin Roberts, the 1970s steel-base slipper chair is by Giorgio Montani for Maison Jansen, the 1950s armchairs are by Edward Wormley, and the cocktail table is custom made; the fireplace surround is honed Striato Olimpico marble, the letter sculpture above it is by Doug Aitken, and the lantern is by Antony Todd Home.
An architecture and design buff, he spent the next few years renovating the house, which had been built in the mid-1990s. He hired interior designer Victoria Hagan to streamline its postmodern architecture into a comfortable beachside retreat for the homeowner and his two young sons from his first marriage. Hagan's striking blue-and-white scheme was featured in 2002 on the cover of ELLE DECOR, where its all-American sense of style helped make it one of the best-selling issues in the history of the magazine.
And then the man fell in love. "It was the perfect house for him at the time," says his second wife. "But it had to become the perfect house for now."
The circa-1970s Harvey Probber sofas are upholstered in a Romo velvet, the 1940s stools are by Jacques Adnet, and the custom-made rug is by Beauvais Carpets.

MSU made wrong choice
Doyle Radke, Minot
I believe the decision to join the NCAA-Division II-Northern Sun Conference wasn't the smartest thing to do. First, the competition is too strong for Minot State to compete against the better teams and more importantly, it requires a lot of money for MSU to travel, house and feed athletes and coaches. Division II requires an awful lot of travel. I'm sure the coaches at Minot State feel that to be competitive, they need to go South to prepare for the upcoming spring season and this is very expensive.
I would guess the goal of all the Minot State coaches would be to get their teams to the very top in their conference and go to nationals, but if these coaches have to provide a lot of funding for travel and preseason practice, that might be asking too much of them.
Chipper Farrell is the second highly qualified coach that decided to resign because of not having enough financial support for their sport. In Chipper's case, he has gone the extra mile for his athletes. Along with helping fund raise these past years, he would also find free lodging and free golfing down in the Phoenix area for his golfers, so each golfer wouldn't have to pay these extra expenses and would be better prepared for the upcoming outdoor season. They have enough to pay for with increasing college expenses.
We all know how hard it is to fund raise money in Minot with the various sports looking for financial help plus the flood recovery of our city and the increasing demands on taxpayers. It's asking a lot of the people and businesses of Minot to help fund the traveling expenses of MSU sports.
Also, it would be very nice if more North Dakota students could further their education and athletic careers at MSU. As it is now, MSU is trying to get students and athletes from all over the world. The athletes from small town North Dakota no longer get the chance to compete because the Northern Sun Conference requires a much better athlete (supposedly) than we have in North Dakota.
Maybe, just maybe, we shouldn't be in the Division II – Northern Sun Conference if we cannot afford to fund these programs. Just maybe we got the cart ahead of the horse and jumped into this new conference. If Minot State University is not big enough to take athletes on the road and provide for their food, lodging and travel, maybe the administration should have decided to stay in the Dakota Conference. Sometimes it is better to be a big fish in a small pond than a little fish in a big pond.

Reviews of this property
First of all, I was very disappointed when I did not see a pool, it was listed under
amenities, the carpets going upstairs was very dirty!!!! then to find dirty/stained
counterpanes in one of the bedrooms!!!! I did not appreciate that! I f I was in a hotel
the same night, I would have asked for another cleaner place!!! overall it was a
Fair stay!!! Cleanliness is # 1 priority!! Also with some minor problems like toilet
flush & missing bulbs! they should be checked prior to arrival!!!
Reviews for this host's other properties
An excellent house well situated near all parks like Disney World, Universal Studios etc. and also close to Orlando Airport
We stayed 8 persons for 10 days and had a wonderful time. The house is big, well equiped and close to the swimmingpool. We couldn't ask for much more.
Basically a good experience in terms of settlement and the apartment. Unfortunately we were a bit unlucky with the alarm system in the apartment what the first day something has restricted. Since it was our second stay, we had to find that the facilities of the apartment is a bit different, but this was not a major problem. We can recommend this hotel for sure!
Grundsätzlich eine gute Erfahrung was die Abwicklung und die Wohnung angeht. Leider hatten wir etwas Pech mit der Alarmanlage in der Wohnung, was den ersten Tag etwas Eingeschränkt hat. Da es schon unser zweite Aufenthalt war, mussten wir feststellen, dass die Ausstattung der Wohnung etwas unterschiedliche ist, was aber kein größeres Problem war. Wir können diese Unterkunft auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen !
Perfect! The house was very clean, comfortable and everything we needed was there. True to the pictures.
The site is very safe, pool and spa, clean.
We will return.
Parfait ! La maison était très propre, confortable et tout ce que nous avions de besoin s'y trouvait. Fidèle aux photos.
Le site est très sécuritaire, la piscine et le spa, propre.
Nous y retournerons.
Great house, exactly like description. I recommend it!
We prolonged our first order with a few days more, so my opinion is still the same as the previous review.
We stayed at the house during Christmas 2014. It is a very nice house, located near Disney World and the rest of the amusement parks in Orlando. There was plenty of room for all of us, it was nicely cleaned when we arrived and we had no trouble finding out how the appliences worked.
We found a lot of good restaurants in the area and the chrismas decorations at the other houses on the road made it feel very much like Christmas eventhough we didn't have that much Christmas decorations ourselves and we are used to much colder weather, sometimes snow on christmas.
All in all a very nice base for our Orlando vacation :-)
The house very clean easy communication with the landlord, excellent for a trip with the entire family, highly recommended
La casa muy limpia fácil comunicación con el arrendador, excelente para un viaje con toda la familia, muy recomendable
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
The property fit our needs perfectly - good location, well-equipped kitchen, screened-in pool, back yard bordering on undeveloped land. When problems arose, they were dealt with with surprising speed. To be recommended!
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone
- Secure payment via SSL encryption

My list of online Mandarin learning tools has been expanding.
FluentFlix is a fantastic, fantastic website that just started its public beta. Basically, think of it as youtube for learning Chinese. Videos are taken from various sources - e.g., clips from soap operas, TV adverts, short films, etc. - and then transcriptions and other learning tools are added to make watching the videos an educational experience. I think it's a wonderful way to learn.
I also have collected a list of blogs about learning Chinese and put together an RSS feed. You can download it from my Google Drive here and import it into Google Reader or any other RSS reader (I hope! I'm not too familiar with RSS feeds/readers).

Topic: mongrel + apache2 + Fedora 4 + plesk
I have managed to get mongrel to serve an application accessed through a subdomain, like this:
My Directory structure is as follows:
httdocs path:
rails app path:
At the mongrel site the way to have apache serve as a front end is straight forward(as it should be)but i can't seem to get it to work.
Here is the what I have placed in vhost file for the subdomain:
ProxyPass / http://sub.domain.com:8000/
ProxyPassReverse / http://sub.domain.com:8000
ProxyPreserveHost on
If I type http://sub.domain.com/ I stiil get the default plesk page (I guess apache is still serving from httpdocs), and if I try any of the controller I get page not found.
Either I'm missing something in my steps, or I have done soemthing wrong? I appreciate the help.

Honeywell's First Quarter Aerospace Sales Decline
Honeywell reported sales of aerospace products declined by 1 percent to $2.91 billion, for the first quarter of 2013. The company said the decline was driven by a 1 percent reduction in "commercial businesses primarily driven by higher than normal prior year shipments to commercial airline and BGA original equipment customers."
Despite the drop in its aerospace unit, Honeywell Chairman and CEO Dave Cote expects to deliver "top-tier earnings performance" for the rest of 2013.
"Aerospace sales were down 1 percent in the first quarter as expected, with U.S. defense ramp downs and a prior year comparison to the commercial business, specifically in the commercial aftermarket contributing to our results," Nathan Drevna, a spokesman for Honeywell told Avionics Magazine in an emailed statement.
During the first quarter Honeywell signed a $2.8 billion lifetime contract with Embraer to provide the avionics for the second generation of E-Jets, scheduled to enter service in 2018. The company also signed a purchase agreement to establish a new global headquarters in Morris Plains, N.J.

Hello tea-lovers,
I recently ordered some tea and my very first tokoname teapot
I found nice vendors in Japan and the US and you realy have ngreat listings of vendors here on teachat.
The real problem is - the additional costs for an EU-import are huge. Shipping costs are high and what realy kills it is taxation!
So all in all the price is nearly doubled.
So I searched for alternatives in Europe. BUT - found a lot (most of them in Germany) and the problem is they are
a)overpriced or
b)haven´t got a realy good selection.
Do you know good vendors in Europe?
To clarify - I am into Japanese and Chinese tea ware and Japanese green tea, Oolong, some white tea. Just try pu erh - didn't find my connection to it yet. And I am not interested in flavored teas and in black teas.
Of course I found Adagio-Europe. But in the moment their selection is small and not comparable to the international one. Is the European tea liking this different?
hope you know some good source

Often there are two ways to write code. One way is to design an API and have code patterns adhere to how the API is supposed to be used. Another way is to rely on language features to accomplish the same thing. Typically API-pattern approaches are chosen because compilers are too immature or just don't provide the necessary features. Sometimes compilers do catch up and the possibility of utilizing newer language features appears.
In the case of the exception rewrite the task is to rewrite code from a pattern-based (compiler in your head) approach to a more strict C++ construct-based exception paradigm. Unfortunately APIs don't enforce their usage as much as a compiler (in part because we don't have app-spefic compiler plugins) so transforming that into a strict compiler-friendly form automatically isn't always realistic (example). See my previous post for more examples.
Having done more work on the exception conversion I believe that it is possible to switch Mozilla to exceptions to the point of getting it to compile. Unfortunately, I don't think that it's possible to do this in the Mozilla2 timeframe due to the large amount of manual labour required.
Due to various use cases that don't fit the exception model there is a need for an nsresult-lint tool to detect funny (see above) nsresult patterns so code can be manually fixed to enable thrower to transform code correctly.
I expect conversion to exceptions to consist of the following large steps:
XPCOMGC -> nsresult-lint -> thrower automatic conversion -> nsexception-lint -> outparamdel
- XPCOMGC needs to land first to simplify memory management. Otherwise there will be a lot more nsCOMPtr<>s already_AddRefed<>s and friends.
- nsresult-lint would flag code for clean up to assist with the multitude of special cases in the code preventing it from transformation
- thrower needs to do some reasonably sophisticated static analysis (sensitive to control flow) to ensure that code is rewritten correctly. The analysis step isn't ridiculously hard, but it is considerably more complex than what is done in existing tools.
- nsexception-lint tool will flag exception-unsafe code. I expect this to highlight a fair amount of code that needs to be converted to RAII. It will take more manual labour to fix flagged code here than in than step2.
- Once exceptions are used the return value is freed up for outparamdel to utilize. This will be a nice optimization and code clean up.
I think the best bet with exceptions would be to start working on them during the moz2 development cycle to have them land early in post-moz2.
Or as an alternative we could try to do just the OOM exceptions which are less frequent which would look like:
XPCOMGC -> thrower automatic conversion(OOM cases are easier) -> nsexception-lint
In this case the only significant piece of work is nsexception-lint which would be needed later for a full-blown exception rewrite. It wouldn't be so bad to convert code to RAII even before that is required for the full exception rewrite.
For now I'm going let thrower rest in the pork hg repository while I try to make a static checker plugin for gcc.
Feel free to ask for clarification. I'm dealing with after-effects of insomnia so this may not be completely clear.
Update: Reasonable description of RAII.

Desjardins Week
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Marlene Jennings Notre-Dame-de-Grâce—Lachine, QC
Mr. Speaker, I would like to draw attention to the fact that October 15 through October 21, 2000, is Desjardins week. It was launched officially yesterday.
This event constitutes one of the high points in the Desjardins movement's centenary celebrations. Among other things, the names of the recipients of the 25th edition of annual Desjardins awards will be announced, and the Fondation Desjardins bursaries awarded. It is the foundation's 30th birthday.
Through numerous activities both within the movement and in the communities, the event organizers are underscoring its economic contribution to the various regions of Quebec.
Thanks to its ability to unite the talents of Quebecers in all fields, the Desjardins movement has been able to innovate throughout its history.
Happy Desjardins week.

Mr. Speaker, where is the Liberal government's heart? It is certainly not with entrepreneurial men and women on the family farm.
In my riding of Nanaimo—Cowichan, the Archers, Darrell and Anthea, recently wanted to add to the agricultural diversity of Canada. They determined there was a growing market for water buffalo milk and cheese in Europe and that the trend was shifting to North America. They wanted to be a part of it. It made sense agriculturally and economically.
One year ago they bought and began the importation of their herd from Denmark. Agriculture Canada and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency gave approval at every step. The herd was in quarantine in Denmark and now is in Canada.
Now after an outbreak of BSE in one cow in Denmark, the Archers face the loss of everything. They have invested everything into this enterprise and the CFIA has demanded the herd be destroyed.
I understand the need to protect our beef and dairy markets, both domestically and internationally. However through no fault of their own, the Archers face the loss of everything. The Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food has failed to offer this family any compensation. This is not acceptable.
The Archers and the people of Canada need a change. It is time for a government with a change. The Canadian Alliance will be—

Maurizio Bevilacqua Vaughan—King—Aurora, ON
Mr. Speaker, Canada has undergone an economic renaissance known internationally as the Canadian miracle. Over two million jobs have been created since 1993, the vast majority by a determined, focused, visionary group of individuals who embody the very best of human qualities.
They pursue their goals with passion and commitment. They persist through obstacles even when they appear insurmountable. In a world of constant change, they stay ahead of the curve. They are innovators, risk takers and job creators. They strive for excellence. They take pride in their products and services. They contribute to their communities and, yes, they are nation builders.
I am referring to small business entrepreneurs, the engines of Canada's economy.
A strong voice for Canadian small businesses is the Canadian Federation of Independent Business. This well known national organization today has reached an important milestone in its history. The CFIB has reached a membership of 100,000.
On a personal note, I want to express my gratitude and congratulations to the CFIB on this important and very meaningful event.
Information Commissioner's Report
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Madeleine Dalphond-Guiral Laval Centre, QC
Mr. Speaker, in the report tabled yesterday, the information commissioner made an unequivocal attack on this government's culture of secrecy, which deprives the people of Canada and of Quebec of their right to access to information.
According to the commissioner, the highest government levels are involved. The Prime Minister's Office, in an unprecedented act, has refused to allow the commissioner access to its files. The Privy Council Office is involved in a court challenge of the constitutionality of the commissioner's right to carry out investigations. Both Treasury Board and the PCO are creating procedures to delay the publication of embarrassing internal audit reports.
This should not come as any surprise. A government that looks out for its friends, who then repay the favour through the party's election coffers, has no choice but to conceal information from the public. Secrecy is one of the things that characterizes nepotism. In a country that claims democratic practices, this is totally unacceptable.
Thames River
Statements By Members

Jerry Pickard Kent—Essex, ON
Mr. Speaker, the legacy continues. In 1984 Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau initiated the Canadian heritage river secretariat to recognize the great natural and human heritage of Canada's rivers.
On August 14, 2000, the Thames River in southwestern Ontario was officially designated as one of Canada's 28 Canadian heritage rivers.
Over its 11,000 year history, the Thames River has played a key historic role. Natives, hunters, explorers, fur traders, settlers, soldiers and former slaves have all travelled this natural highway.
Today, the river and its watershed are home to great diversity of plants, birds, fish and animals, some of which are endangered and found nowhere else in Canada.
Last month, at the annual Heritage Day Festival, I was pleased to join with provincial and first nation representatives to unveil a plaque recognizing the heritage river.
Congratulations to the many volunteers who made this dream a reality.
Canadian Federation Of Independent Business

Monte Solberg Medicine Hat, AB
Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the Canadian Alliance, I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the Canadian Federation of Independent Business on having recently passed their 100,000 membership mark.
A number of the members of its national management committee are in Ottawa today to celebrate this important event. I was honoured to meet with them earlier today.
Small businesses produce most of the new jobs created in Canada. They provide most of the new inventions and innovations and, yes, they pay a ton of tax to the federal government.
Until the CFIB came along, the interests of small businesses were largely ignored when important policy decisions were made in government. All that started to change after the CFIB came into existence. Twenty-nine years later and 100,000 members strong, the CFIB has grown in size and influence to now become the big voice for Canada's small businesses.
On behalf of the Canadian Alliance, congratulations to the CFIB on reaching this important milestone in its history and may it and its members continue to grow and flourish.
A Week Without Violence

Murray Calder Dufferin—Peel—Wellington—Grey, ON
Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to give my support to the A Week Without Violence programs being promoted by the community YWCA of Grey-Wellington in Mount Forest, Ontario.
In past years, the community "Y" of Grey-Wellington raised awareness of violence by holding competitions for T-shirt designs in local schools, having the clergy dedicate prayers against violence, sending letters to the newspapers, handing out anti-violence literature and holding discussions.
In designating October 15 to 21 as A Week without Violence, the YWCA asks us to be aware of our own attitudes and negative behaviours as we pledge to spend seven days without committing, condoning or contributing to violence.
I would like to thank the YWCA for the work it does and for designating October 15 to 21 A Week without Violence.

Nelson Riis Kamloops, BC
Mr. Speaker, when I was a new member of parliament, I was given the critic area of small business. One of my first duties was to meet with John Bulloch, the founder of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business. He was an enthusiastic and outspoken advocate of the small and medium business sector and I learned much from his wise counsel.
Now 20 years later, the CFIB and I are still going strong and still speaking out on behalf of small and medium sized Canadian businesses.
The Canadian Federation of Independent Business currently has over 100,000 members across the country, the largest individual membership business organization in Canada. One of its strengths has been the direct input from its members in the form of surveys which are sent to all members of parliament to assist us in our decision making.
The Canadian Federation of Independent Business has done an outstanding job advocating for small and medium sized Canadian enterprises. Today is CFIB's first official day on the Hill. The government would do well to listen to them.
International Anti-Poverty Day
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Christiane Gagnon Québec, QC
Mr. Speaker, October 17 has been set aside as international anti-poverty day.
I share in the cry of Centraide-Québec, which, in its open letter to people who are not concerned about poverty and to everyone else, said "Over the past several years now, we have come to believe that poverty and social inequality involve costs and consequences that result in our society's shooting itself in the foot because of its failure to sufficiently or properly invest in the fight against poverty and inequality".
On the eve of the economic statement, I encourage the Prime Minister to show a modicum of compassion by re-evaluating his priorities and by recognizing his government's seven years of social deficit. This would be a fine opportunity to act on the demands by the women who are continuing their walk for a fairer and more humane world.
This is an appointment with equity the Liberal government is not allowed to miss.
World March Of Women

Eleni Bakopanos Ahuntsic, QC
Mr. Speaker, on October 11, a group of approximately 250 women and men of Ahuntsic walked in solidarity to fight poverty and violence against women.
I would like to thank all those who contributed to the success of our march, especially Mireille Belisle, the founder of the Fondation Mélanie Cabey, a not for profit organization to support the disappeared; SNAC, a food and community action service; the Ahuntsic CLSC, which manages Réseau justice et foi; the Centre des femmes italiennes de Montréal, which organized the event; the municipal housing office; Courrier Ahuntsic; Amitié n'a pas d'âge; Stations Nos. 27 and 28; La Resource; various elected representatives and a number of private citizens.
We on this side of the House have worked closely and co-operatively for the last seven years with all local groups to ensure that all women in Canada and elsewhere receive justice and equality, and that there is zero tolerance for violence against children and women.
Congratulations on a successful march to all those who participated in Ahuntsic and all across Canada.
Atlantic Tourism Industry

2:10 p.m.
Angela Vautour Beauséjour—Petitcodiac, NB
Mr. Speaker, on October 16, ACOA announced a new $19.5 million marketing measure for the tourism industry in the Atlantic provinces.
While the federal government continues to promote tourism in New Brunswick, certain rural communities are suffering as the result of poor environmental decisions made in their regions.
Kent county, in my riding of Beauséjour—Petitcodiac, was the victim of the construction of a huge pig barn in Sainte-Marie.
The Liberal government in office at the time failed to consult the public and refused to do an environmental impact study.
The people of Kent county, who work so hard to promote tourism, are now discouraged by the smell and the negative impact of this facility.
I wonder how this Liberal government can expect the people of Kent county to attract tourists to their region when they are up to their neck in manure.
World March Of Women
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Susan Whelan Essex, ON
Mr. Speaker, with a population of nearly six billion on our planet, we should be aware that two-thirds, or approximately four billion, live in relative poverty, while 1.3 billion live on one American dollar a day. Seventy per cent of those living in poverty are women. These conditions are in part what has prompted the organization of the World March of Women.
Canada also faces poverty issues. Children who live in low income families made up 13% of all children under the age of 18 in 1997. Of that number, 40% were living with a single female parent.
Homelessness, often equated with the extreme side of poverty in Canada, is affecting young women at an earlier age. Women and men from countries all over the world have signed a petition that will be presented to UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan, along with a list of demands to help eliminate poverty and, in particular, the feminization of poverty.
Let us add our voices to those calling for an end to poverty for women in Canada.
Brain Tumour Awareness Month
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Grant Hill Macleod, AB
Mr. Speaker, October has been set aside as brain tumour awareness month. This is an opportunity to talk about the tragedies and the triumphs of those who have suffered from brain tumours.
As a medical practitioner, my life was touched by a brain tumour but nowhere more than five and a half years ago when one of our colleagues in the House was struck down by this disease. Thankfully she was diagnosed early and treated quickly and today her health is excellent. She retired from politics just before the last election. I had an opportunity to talk with her and she is advocating brain tumour awareness.
I give my congratulations to the medical workers in this field, to the scientists, to the people who treat brain tumours, and to Beryl Gaffney, retired MP, for her work on this cause.
Information Commissioner's Report
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
Canadian Alliance
Stockwell Day Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, the report of the auditor general today and the report of the information commissioner, which was blocked from question period yesterday, cataloguing the Prime Minister's disrespect of public funds and the democratic process, were interesting.
The commissioner's report in bold type has the words "Mayday—Mayday", the international call for help. The report in question says that the action of the Prime Minister's Office is "undermining the democratic process".
The Prime Minister needs to stand right now and do one of two things. He should tell us the information commissioner is not telling the truth or apologize to Canadians for undermining democracy. Which one is it?

Restore and Re-Jailbreak 5.1.1
I am trying to do a fresh restore on my iPhone4 to 5.1.1 (which i am currently on) and then to re-jailbreak it. I have following the instructions in the OP but each time i restore i get the following error pop up in iTunes:The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. This device isn't eligible for the requested build.
Any ideas why this is? My SHSH blobs are saved from my phone and also from Cydia as you can see for the photo taken from TinyUmbrella
I have stiched the ISPW and Blob together as you can see from my file name (of course replacing my ID Number with 0's)
Any ideas why this is happening?:smack:

Re: Restore and Re-Jailbreak 5.1.1
Both 3cit and Peligro911 make good points.
First try 3cit's advice.
If you're doing this already and it doesn't help, I recall that Apple issued a second version of 5.1.1 as noted on your screen shot - you have 5.1.1 and 5.1.1b. Make sure the blobs you stitch match with the firmware you download.

Re: Restore and Re-Jailbreak 5.1.1
I have tried the above but seem to still get the same error. I have the latest version for Mac, I have stitched the correct blob and firmware, but this error keeps occurring :/. hmm

Re: Restore and Re-Jailbreak 5.1.1
well, since you have a 4, i say you should restore as new using itunes, which will put you on 6.0.1 then get redsnow 15b and do the downgrade option to get back to a fresh 5.1.1
i spent 8 hours one day trying to "restore" to 5.1.1 using redsnow and itunes and i could not make it happen.
finally i updated to 6.0.1 then i tried downgrading using redsnow.
do you have a gsm? or a cdma? i was doing this on a cdma phone
the only thing i can figure is that maybe hosts are incorrect....
do you get the same error each time??
what visual cues do you get?
like does your phone start to restore? sow the progress bar and suddenyl just fails? or does it not even get to that point and itunes gives you an error message?
are you only trying to restore through redsnow? or are you trying to restore by building a properly stitched file, putting your phone into pwned dfu and then restoring in itunes using the shift+restore option

Re: Restore and Re-Jailbreak 5.1.1
First of its a GSM model.
The point i get to when it errors is after the extracting in itunes, when the bar reaches full ready in to install, thats when i get the error message posted above every time
I have tried to restore to 5.1.1 and also 5.1.1b both with each of the correct blobs, and using that custom firmware created after stitching. I enter my phone into pwdDFU mode via redsn0w with no hitch or errors.
Thing is is i update to 6.0.1 and i cant downgrade I'm stuck on that crap then LOL!! Why can it never be simple
Is there anything else i can try or im actually missing :/

I can see this has already been point out.
Don't forget guys there is a 206 and a 208 build for the iPhone 4 5.1.1. If you are trying to restore to the 206 build, you may have problems. Make sure when you download the firmware, that you are selecting the 208 build. As from you first post it doesn't look like you are, so you may be stitching the wrong blob to the wrong firmware.
Stitch the 5.1.1r blob to the 208 build. You may of already tried. But I just had the same problem recently and it worked for me.
