Also Paul married a woman (HMM) that makes Yoko Ono look like Mother Teresa. John would be laughing at Paul wherever he is.Crikey, you remind me of that "reviewer" of some American newspaper someone posted a link to a while ago, who said John would be "laughing at Paul from across Abbey Road" or some such garbage. How come so many people seem to know exactly what John would be doing were he alive still?
How do you know so much about what he wouldn't be doing or thinking?I must admit I'm getting sick and tired of these kind of statements. One of John's strengths (or to put it neutral, aspects of his personality) was that he was not predictable - so how can we know what he would be up to now, at 65? I think not even Yoko does...
Paul being controlled by Heather? Hellooooo... read John's final Playboy interview... it's called deja vu... what goes around comes around...Also, John himself sometimes contradicted (unconsciously or deliberately) things he had said at some earlier point, so I'm not too sure about "what you see is what you get".
Why not? He was the most open and candid of the four and it's for this reason I'm a John fan. No smoke screens or cliches.. unlike Paul..He was more blunt, but certainly not simple. And as to Paul, I think you misunderstand his personality. He is not a liar - he is diplomatic and he is a storyteller. I think you can see this if you watch "Anthology", for instance. When he talks about some episode of the past, he might add or leave out the odd detail or exaggerate a little, just because it sounds better or fits in better with the general idea of the conversation.
Not a liar ? Exaggerate a little ? You're killing me... Didn't Paul recently say something stupid like LITSWD was really about LSD when he himself, John and George Martin have always stated it was inspired by Julian's drawing.. there are countless examples of Paul's tendency to misappropriate the truth..Sometimes, he catches himself and rectifies a little ("no, wait, that's wrong, actually what happened was..."). I think if you can read between the lines, you can easily guess what's right and what's slightly "adorned".
With Paul, it's all one way traffic. If you believe Paul then you believe he wrote all of John's songs too.There are people who can handle this and others who can't (and then resort to calling him "shallow").

So... I ordered a couple of aged (or "more aged") pu-erh samples from Nada and they came on Saturday. Although I've been having terrible allergy attacks, I've had some respite thanks to a claritin knock-off, so I thought I'd try to tackle one of the samples this evening. As the title of this thread suggests, I went for the 1993 Menghai 7542.
Has anybody else had this tea?
The oldest pu-erh that I had up to this point was a 1998 Lincang "green wrapper" which was pretty disappointing (e.g. hardly tasted any more 'aged' than a 2007 I had tried) -- so I have been really looking forward to trying these!
The leaves in the warm pot smelled like shu. And my first cup and everything about it reminded me of shu -- so much that I had to go back to the website to verify that indeed it was under the raw aged sheng section (i.e. not ripened). And it appears so.... though it does not explicitly say it.
So I'm sure somebody will come along and tell me otherwise, but I'm working off of the assumption that this was a raw/uncooked pu-erh that has been aged to the point that it's aged into more of a shu-taste. I suppose that is the point, that being why factories make cooked tea in order to simulate the aged taste.
We've had plenty of jokes/discussions that cooked pu-erhs tend to have extremely similar flavor profiles. So I guess I was expected a correctly aged puerh to have a shu-taste but with something else. I certainly am getting a great earthy flavor, but... I'm not getting "something else" with this tea.
Or maybe I am? This tea has a couple things that I think my experiences with cooked pu-erh have lacked. First is a dryness. I might also be sensing a buzz/energy here, but my experiences with that have been dubious (and I have yet to try a tea where somebody says that the tea has a great energy to it, and I can actually agree). Second, it's lasting a very long time. I'm on my 9th infusion here, with a 5 minute steep, and I'm still getting a pretty earthy cup of tea. The infusions were never the 'black amber' I get with cooked pu-erh, but the cooked pu-erh usually backed off sooner (although maybe not that much sooner upon looking at my notes...). Third, the leaves actually look like normal pu-erh leaves, but chocolatey dark -- but not the mulch/pulp of cooked pu-erh.
Okay, babble, babble, babble. I would appreciate any thoughts or guidance on my experience here -- other peoples' experiences with this tea, or thoughts on what I sensed, or ideas on what I might try next (or try differently with this tea).

Cities Need More Starbucks, Not CityTargets
Here's the deal: To refer to what Target does in core neighborhoods of big cities as a "concept" belittles the word. I always thought a concept was something bigger than an obvious and poorly-executed idea. There's absolutely no innovation in Target's urban push. It's merely a workaround of city planning regulations and activist opposition.
We'll get updated numbers from Target shortly after it reports earnings on Wednesday, but don't expect much change from the above-citied article. CityTargets -- speaking quantitatively (actual square footage data) and qualitatively (the way they "feel") -- are hardly different from any other type of Target outpost, except SuperTargets.
Starbucks Is Urban, CityTarget Is Not
When I lived in San Francisco, I was a bit of an urban activist. In 2005, I aided a neighborhood association's efforts to keep Home Depot
City governments and neighborhood groups suck in this regard. They talk a big game about character, but all they really care about is traffic. It's quite sad. And big box stores such as Target and Home Depot know this. They come in, weather opposition, scale down plans and, nine times out of 10, win approval.
Home Depot never actually moved into the contested space, despite paying rent on the land for months. I think Lowe's
That's precisely what Target is doing throughout the urban areas it's starting to inhabit. Bringing, for all intents and purposes, suburban infrastructure to the city. This is bad for two primary reasons.
Number one, for every CityTarget that goes up, as conceived, in cities such as San Francisco and Los Angeles, existing character erodes and the dream of building something that adds to the urban fabric dies just a little.

Matt Murphy has always let his faith guide him. A stand-out football player at MC, Murphy was also recognized with the Football Outstanding Christian Award and Most Christ-Like Award, and served as president of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.
"It was a daily challenge to live a sincere life for Christ at MC," Murphy says. "Many athletes knew if my faith and life were real or not. The daily challenge at MC was good preparation for living a holy life for Christ in all the world."
Murphy is now pursuing that holy life for Christ just outside the jungles of the Amazon rain forest. Since November 2013, he and his wife, Bethany '01, and their five (soon to be six) children have been living in Iquitos, Peru, where they will serve for the next year with the missions organization Amazon Xpeditions. Murphy trains indigenous pastors, missionaries, and leaders, who then go into the unreached areas of the Amazon jungles to win disciples for Christ. The work includes teaching night classes on the scriptures, hosting weekly evangelistic outreaches, and operating leadership camps focused on character building and teamwork. The Murphy family is also building their Spanish skills with the help of a tutor who visits three days a week; on a recent trip to the bodega (a small store), Murphy communicated his desire for popcorn to the shop owner through hand gestures and verbal "popping" sound effects.
"I hope that my family and I come to know Jesus more and show him more fully to the people here."
-Matt Murphy
The gateway to the Amazon rain forest, Iquitos is the largest city in the world that is completely inaccessible by road; the only travel into or out of Iquitos is via plane or boat. The move has been both an adjustment and an adventure for the entire family.
"The biggest adjustment has been the overall culture change," Murphy says. "The language, the food, the lack of Internet service, the heat, and the 'Amazon time schedule' have all been a challenge. It's also been hard being so far away from family and friends that we love so much. In our months of living here, we've adjusted, but we still have much to learn."
The Amazon is a long way from the Mississippi Gulf Coast, where Murphy previously served at the Church of the Good Shepherd working with youth and young families. But from the Gulf Coast to the Amazon, Murphy's goals have remained the same.
"I hope that my family and I come to know Jesus more and show Him more fully to the people here."
While the challenges and adjustments have been great, Murphy is quick to say that the rewards and adventures have been greater. There is, however, one challenge he has yet to master.
"At some point, I will go to some remote village down river, and that's when I will quietly ask God to protect me before I eat what is set before me."

UN Lawyer Turns Over Hijacker Info
Wed May 29, 4:06 PM ET
By EDITH M. LEDERER, Associated Press Writer
UNITED NATIONS (AP) - The chief U.N. war crimes prosecutor has turned over information about one of the Sept. 11 hijackers to the United States, France and the Netherlands, the U.N. spokesman said Wednesday.
The cooperation between the United Nations (news - web sites) and other countries, especially the United States, has raised concerns that Washington may be exerting undue influence on the world body.
But U.N. spokesman Fred Eckhard said the United Nations should cooperate in the fight against terrorism just as its 189 members were asked to do by the Security Council and the General Assembly after Sept. 11.
"The United Nations considers that it too has an obligation to assist countries, particularly if a state has been the target of terror activities," he said.
The war crimes prosecutor, Carla Del Ponte, said last October that information concerning people "with connections to terrorist groups," primarily in Bosnia, was provided to Pierre Prosper, the U.S. ambassador at large for war crimes.
On Wednesday, Eckhard confirmed for the first time that the information included material related to "one of the named terrorists said to have been on one of the hijacked aircraft" on Sept. 11. Eckhard refused to name the hijacker but said the information was also shared with the French and Dutch governments.
The United States is clearly interested in any information the United Nations can provide.
"Since Sept. 11, we've had discussions with various U.N. officials on how we can improve the international effort to fight terrorism," a U.S. official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
But some U.N. officials contend the United States has exerted too much power.
Madeline Rees, the head of the U.N. human rights office in the Bosnian capital, Sarajevo, asked for an investigation in January into the way the United States pressured Bosnian officials to turn over six Algerian terror suspects. She suggested that the move damaged the very legal system Washington was trying to build in postwar Bosnia.
"The international community had definitely played a role in this unlawful handover," she said Wednesday.
Following the terrorist attacks on the United States, Del Ponte was approached by the U.S. Embassy in The Hague (news - web sites), Netherlands and asked for information in identifying those responsible, Eckhard said.
"The office of the prosecutor did in fact have some information in relation to one of the named terrorists said to have been on one of the hijacked aircraft," he said. An electronic version of some of the information was then given to Prosper as well as French and Dutch officials, Eckhard said.
Florence Hartmann, the spokeswoman for Del Ponte, said U.N. investigators may have had information about some Muslim fighters who stayed on in Bosnia after the civil war ended in 1995.
"There were some documents that could be linked" to the hunt for terrorists that were handed over, she said Wednesday.

U.N. war crimes prosecutor turned over information about Sept. 11 hijacker to U.S., France, Netherlands

UNITED NATIONS - The chief U.N. war crimes prosecutor has turned over information about one of the Sept. 11 hijackers to the United States, France and the Netherlands, the U.N. spokesman said Wednesday.

But Eckhard said the United Nations should cooperate in the fight against terrorism just as all 189 member states in the organization have been called on to cooperate by the Security Council and the General Assembly since Sept. 11.
"The United Nations considers that it, too, has an obligation to assist countries, particularly if a state has been the target of terror activities," he said.
The United States is clearly interested in any information the United Nations can provide.

She suggested the action had damaged the legal system Washington was trying to build in postwar Bosnia.
"The international community had definitely played a role in this unlawful handover," she said Wednesday.
Following the attacks in New York and Washington, which killed more than 3,000 people, Del Ponte was approached by the U.S. Embassy in The Hague (news - web sites), Netherlands where the tribunal for prosecuting war crimes in former Yugoslavia and Rwanda is based and asked for information in identifying those responsible, Eckhard said.
"The office of the prosecutor did in fact have some information in relation to one of the named terrorists said to have been on one of the hijacked aircraft," Eckhard said, refusing to disclose the hijacker's identity.
In The Hague on Oct. 9, the prosecutor gave an electronic version of the information to Prosper, Eckhard said. "An identical copy of the same material was supplied to the French and the Dutch governments as well following requests from them to the prosecutor."
After Del Ponte's meeting with Prosper, she told a news conference she gave him information concerning "people who were staying in Bosnia in connection with terrorist groups."
In August, just weeks before the Sept. 11 attacks, the Yugoslav tribunal unsealed an indictment against three Muslim generals held responsible for war crimes allegedly committed by volunteer foreign fighters under their command, mostly from Islamic countries. They were accused of murdering hundreds of civilians and committing other atrocities.
Many volunteers, described as mujahedeen or holy warriors, were believed to be veterans of the campaign against the Soviet Union in Afghanistan (news - web sites) that ended in 1989.
Florence Hartmann, the spokeswoman for Del Ponte, said at the time that U.N. investigators may have had information about some volunteers who stayed on in Bosnia after the war ended in 1995.
Hartmann said handing over documents was not unusual, citing the example of how Del Ponte provided Belgrade authorities with information about former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic (news - web sites)'s financial dealings as part of an investigation that led to indictments against him for war crimes.

Just ask one of them who flew the planes into the world trade center....TO A MAN OR WOMAN they will say, " THE JEWS DID IT...muslims would NEVER do that!"
They are real hard cases.
I wonder how true that statement really is. I mean, did the spokesman actually say that? With a straight face?
Aren't these the same folks that Maddie "The Troll" Halfbright keeps defending??
Unless that nation is Isreal.
There's really no surprise here, except that it took this long for it to come out.

The FBI suspects that one of the terrorists in the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon possessed a Bosnian passport - Sept 28, 2001
The whole structure of "postwar Bosnia" is itself ILLEGITIMATE!!!! The muslim entity in Bosnia was itself set up EXPLICTLY as a beach-head for the islamic conquest of Europe. That includes serving as a sanctuary and support system for jihadists like al Qaeda!!!
If we are serious about ending terrorist and subversive activity in "Bosnia", we must be ready to end muslim "Bosnia" as we know it!!! This is despite the screams of the muslim-shill "human rightsers", and the New World Order uber-"judges" like the witch Del Ponte and all her sub-witches!
Some of them had a party here in my city just a couple of nights after 9/11....in COMPLETE disregard/disrepect for the suffering that was going on in this great country after the tragedy caused by their FELLOW muslim LOSERS!!!!
klintoon has alot to answer for...he assisted all those muslim creeps in the Balkans....just more of his MANY SINS!!
Islam Under the Swastika The Grand Mufti and the Nazi Protectorate of Bosnia-Hercegovina, 1941-1945 In his book The Islamic Declaration, (Islamska Deklaracija, 1970; republished, 1990), Izetbegovic rejected the secular conception of an Islamic state espoused by Kemal Ataturk. Izetbegovic sought to create an Islamic state based in the Sharia, a state where religion would not be separate from the state, i.e., an Islamic theocratic state. Izebegovic established close links to Ossama Bin Laden and al-Qeada and invited mujadedeen forces to join the Bosnian Muslim Army. Izetbegovic later would give Ossama Bin laden a special Bosnian passport and the mujahedeen ìfreedom fightersî would receive Bosnian citizenship and passports. One of the hijackers of the second attack on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, possessed a Bosnian passport.
I'll second that. And I'll throw in a third and fourth for good measure. Actually I'd prefer to throw a few UN delegates on the third rail of a New York subway train.
Alija Izetbegobic, Ideological Biography
Professor J Peter Maher of Northeast Illinois University, March, 1999
Alija Izetbegovic: his background and philosophies
This is a briefing paper produced for Members of the 1992/3 Session of Australian Parliament;
Monday, 21 December 1992.
The report downplays the Young Muslim Nazi angle but the movement was also modeled on the Hitler Jugend, and supportered by Baldur von Shirach.
ALIJA IZETBEGOVIC, leader of the SDA (Muslim Party of Democratic Action), is currently the President of the Presidency of Bosnia-Hercegovina. He was born in Bosanski Samac in 1925, went to school in Sarajevo, and eventually completed law school; he had no schooling in religion within the Islamic school system.
Izetbegovics Early Years.
From his early youth, Izetbegovic dedicated himself to Islamic work. At 16 he ecame part of the group that founded religious-political organisation "Young Muslims" in Sarajevo, in 1940. From the very outset the "YM" was modelled on fundamentalist formations in the Islamic world, such as "As-subban al-muslimun" and "Al-ikwan al-muslimun". One of the five points of the "YM" programme insisted on the unity of the Muslim world through the creation of one large Muslim state. During the Second World War, the "YM" grew and become part of a network of Islamic religious groups headed by the highly conservative theologian of the Mehmed Handzic (1906-1944). The "YM" were not officially pro-fascist in orientation, though they were pursued for this by the Communist regime after 1945. There were, however, many individual examples of active collaboration with the Ustashi government.
Izetbegovic was arrested in 1946, for his significant participation in founding the Muslim journal MUDZAHID. He spent the next three years in jail for promoting hatred. At the same time, his friend Nedzib Sacirbegovic was given a four year prison sentence. Sacirbegovic is now Izetbegovics personal representative in the USA and his son Muhamed, is Bosnia-Hercegovinas ambassador to the UN. Izetbegovic has systematically promoted to top positions in the SDA people who were political "cadres" in the original "YM" movement.
In February 1949, the "Young Muslims" started an open revolt. This was short-lived. During subsequent trials held in Sarajevo in 1949, four members of the "YM" were sentenced to death and many were given prison sentences. After this lesson, Islamic activists stopped creating illegal groups and started working on Islamisation "from underneath". This meant penetrating the very pores of the systems institutions, including the formal Islamic community, because the activists considered their leaders to be traitors to the authentic Islamic cause. From the beginning Izetbegovic preferred Shiite Islamic radicalism in comparison to the Sunni.
Izetbegovics doctrine - "The Islamic Declaration"
Izetbegovic published many articles in Muslim journals (TAKVIM, GVIS, etc.), discussing the sad state of Islam and the necessity for its universal regeneration. In 1970, he wrote and distributed to people of confidence, his specific manifesto or programme for radical pan-Islam - the ISLAMIC DECLARATION.
In this booklet, similar to many of the same type circulating in the Islamic world, but the only one of its sort in Yugoslavia, Izetbegovic advocated:
- general Islamic moral and religious regeneration;
- a return to true Islamic values;
- (re)Islamisation of Muslims;
- creation and strengthening of different types of Islamic unity; struggle, up to and including Political and armed war for the creation of an Islamic order in countries where Muslims represent majority, or near majority of the population.
In line with his pan-Islamic and anti-secular thinking, Izetbegovic stated in the ISLAMIC DECLARATION that:
- there should be the establishment of "a united Islamic community from Morocco to Indonesia";
- with reference to the Turkish model - "Turkey as an Islamic country used to rule the world. Turkey as an imitation of Europe represents a third-rate country, the like of which there is a hundred in the world.";
- "there can be neither peace nor coexistence between the Islamic faith and non-Islamic social and political institutions";
-"the Islamic movement must and can, take over political power as soon as it is morally and numerically so strong that it can not only destroy the existing non-Islamic power, but also to build up a new Islamic one".
The ISLAMIC DECLARATION is imbued with a deep-set intolerance towards "the values of western civilisation", both capitalist and Marxist. It was re-published in 1990 in Sarajevo, testifying to the fact that its author, in the meantime, had in no way gone back on his positions, one of Islamic fundamentalism.
Muslims who gathered around the re-published ISLAMIC DECLARATION, were former members of the "YM" and new activists. They tie their activities to those of Muslim centres abroad - religious, political, propaganda and economic - above all with specific groups in Iran.
In his book ISLAM BETWEEN EAST AND WEST, published first in the USA (1984) and then Turkey, develops his views on the superiority of Islam over all other religions, cultures, ideologies and philosophies. This book was published in Serbo-Croatian, only in Belgrade in 1988; the Sarajevo authorities used all means to prevent it getting published at all.
Izetbegovic - leader of Bosnias Muslims
With a group of Muslim activists, Izetbegovic was arrested in 1983 for activities against the state. As the chief defendant, he was sentenced to fourteen years. In 1988, he was released after less than six years of prison.
After the fall of Communism in Yugoslavia, Izetbegovic became one of the leaders in the creation of the SDA party (1990), as a Muslim political party. He was elected President with the support of his old fellows from the ranks of the "YM" and the support of the young radicals. Izetbegovic gave his new, nominally national and civilian political party, a deeply-set religious connotation. As the first president of the collective Presidency of this young state, and by far the most influential Muslim politician on the soil of former Yugoslavia (having ousted his more popular rival Fikret Abdic), the strength of his position allows him to pursue his youthful (pan)Islamic dreams.
His internal and external policies changed tactfully as per the power struggle both inside and outside of Yugoslavia. But, from a strategic standpoint Izetbegovic has not budget an inch from his early conception that "every good Muslim, through his formal engagement, including the political one, at all times and all places, must above all serve Islam, by force if necessary". Because of Izetbegovics anti-Communism, the fundamentalist radicalism of the political programme contained in the ISLAMIC DECLARATION, went virtually unnoticed in most western countries.
As such, the rise of a native and authentic Islamic fundamentalist movement in Yugoslavia, was for the West, up until recently, an incomprehensible and inconceivable idea. For some, it remains so today.
This fanatical conviction of Izetbegovic - namely that the highest motive justifies every move, every decision, (including that of disposing of his predecessors), has definitely helped plunge Bosnia into the midst of an ethnic and religious war.
Commentary added by Balkan Research Center: Only after one carefully considers the foregoing does it become understandable why, recently, Izetbegovic signed an agreement for the "cantonisation" of Bosnia with representatives of the European Community in Lisbon [in 1992], and cancelled it two days later. Izetbegovic will accept any kind of deal in order to get his way, he is not ashamed if it is proved that he lies, because he says "all is allowed for Islam".
Now it seems logical why Izetbegovic visited only radical Muslim countries during the first nine months of his presidency. Izetbegovic is a man who is willing to sacrifice half of the population to achieve his religious goals, to be the first president of an Islamic state in Europe, however small.
In the light of above facts one can better understand Izetbegovics statements of sympathy for the "Islamic Revolution" in Iran. Only Izetbegovic and Ayatollah Khomeini, out of all presidents who officially visited Turkey, did not pay respect to the grave of Ataturk, for them he was a traitor to fundamentalist Muslim principles.
Selling the Bosnian Myth to America: Buyer Beware!
U.S. POLICY AND THE BOSNIAN CIVIL WAR: A Time for Reevaluation
The USA spent billions and risked the American military in support for the same Bosnian Muslims that helped al-Qaida carry out 9/11.
The Serbs, fighting a defensive war against elements of the world wide jihad we Americans are fighting right now were never a threat to American national security unlike it turns out the Bosnian Muslims who are a threat to my country and to Western civilization in general.
Spar's hero Pericles was trying to push the "Bosnian hijacker" theory until running afoul of the lack of evidence for said theory.
This is just another pseudo-sop for Serb nationalist losers trying to retroactively justify the crimes of their bretheren.

WRONG!!!! This is from former Canadian ambassador to Yugoslavia James Bisset:
Later, as many thousands of Bosnians marched for peace fearing the inevitable blood bath of civil war, a peace settlement seemed to have been reached through the skillful negotiations of the Portuguese Foreign Minister, Jose Cutileiro. The so-called, Lisbon Agreement,of March 1992 held out the last hope that the three religious groups in Bosnia might live peacefully together. It was not to be. The United States dispatched its Ambassador [Warren Christopher] from Belgrade to Sarajevo, who encouraged the Muslim leader, Alia Izetbegovic to withdraw his signature from the agreement he had signed along with his Serbian and Croatian counterparts. This US intervention guaranteed civil war in Bosnia and the death and displacement of thousands of people.
It was not "Serb genocidal mania" that caused the bloodbath in Bosnia, but New World Order/muslim collusion. Moreover, Izetbegovic's "Bosnia" was planned from the beginning to be a haven for muslim thugs and subversives, especially those from Iran, the Gulf states, and Pakistan, whom Izzie was dealing with from the git-go. The Serbs DIDN'T COUNT in Izzie's plans--after all, his Islamic Declaration stated that there was no place for Christians in his islamic state unless they converted to islam!!!!
By the way, where do you get off tallking about "you Serbs"? Spar is not Serbian. Serbophobes--whether "Western" ones or muslim ones, assume that no one but Serbs would ever take the Serbian side of anything, since the Serbs are supposed to be so "evil". Well, it just isn't true!!!!
And I--as well as many other Freepers--think that you are not really "ABrit", but "AShiptar"!!!! If you are a Brit, maybe you're Noel Malcolm, who is almost as much an honorary Shiptar as I am an honorary Serb!!!!
What a laugh that is!!
Our agency is no longer bringing bosnian muslims into the city....the emphasis now is to re-unite Serbs with their relatives who HAVE BEEN IN REFUGEE CAMPS INSIDE SERBIA FOR QUITE AWHILE....actually, since that shipturd ceku and his slimely croatia ethnic cleansers, ran over 250,000 Serbs out of the Krajina!!

International Day of Persons with Disabilities
Statements By Members
December 3rd, 2010 / 10:55 a.m.
Maria Minna Beaches—East York, ON
Mr. Speaker, each year on December 3, we celebrate the International Day of Persons with Disabilities.
The International Day of Persons with Disabilities aims to promote a better understanding of disability issues with a focus on equal enjoyment of human rights, as well as ensuring integration into all aspects of political, social, economic and cultural life.
The recent report by the HRSDC committee on the federal contribution to reducing poverty contains excellent recommendations to improve the lives of those living with disabilities, and I encourage the government to implement those recommendations.
The Liberal Party is a proud supporter of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. We believe that together we can help the 650 million people worldwide and the 4.4 million people in Canada living with disabilities today enjoy their full human rights.
Jean-Léon Desmeules
Statements By Members
11 a.m.
Robert Bouchard Chicoutimi—Le Fjord, QC
Mr. Speaker, today I would like to highlight the hard work of a volunteer who has never hesitated to get involved in a good cause. I want to speak about Jean-Léon Desmeules, who agreed to help create the Fondation de l'Hôpital de La Baie in 1987. He became the founding president in 1988 and held that position until 2009.
Mr. Desmeules has spent countless hours working tirelessly to recruit volunteers, structure the foundation and organize fundraising activities to get the hospital much-needed equipment. Mr. Desmeules has made a huge impact on the La Baie and Lower Saguenay region.
In his view, this foundation represents the understanding, commitment and generosity of each administrator, donor, collaborator, volunteer, association and social club that is involved in helping to develop and improve the Centre de santé et de services sociaux Cléophas-Claveau.
Sparky's Toy Drive
Statements By Members
11 a.m.
Joe Comartin Windsor—Tecumseh, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the significant contributions the Windsor firefighters and the Salvation Army make in creating a more joyful Christmas for children in our community.
Through the annual Sparky's Toy Drive, Windsor firefighters gather over 35,000 toys for more than 3,600 children. Those toys are then distributed by the Salvation Army to families in need across the Windsor-Essex region.
Many of the toys that are given are purchased through the Windsor firefighters benefit fund. The annual kickoff dinner is one of the biggest fundraising events for the toy drive, but money is also raised through the Santa Claus parade, Spitfires hockey games, and the generous support of our community. However, as the price of gifts continues to rise, so does the need for continued and increased financial support.
The 2010 toy drive will soon come to an end, but the charitable work of the Windsor firefighters and the Salvation Army will continue throughout the year. Their compassionate efforts will help make Christmas a more memorable and joyful occasion for all children in our community.
Climate Change
Statements By Members
11 a.m.
Michael Chong Wellington—Halton Hills, ON
Mr. Speaker, the manufactured controversy known as "Climategate" has now been debunked by five reviews, including Britain's Royal Society and the U.S. National Academy of Sciences. All concluded that scientists had not, as critics alleged, distorted scientific evidence about global warming.
A major assessment earlier this year from the U.S. National Academy of Sciences confirmed the relationship between climate change and human activities. It also warned of growing risks from rising sea levels, drought and disease that can only be addressed by quick action to reduce emissions.
That is why I encourage our government to accelerate its efforts through the clean energy dialogue with the United States and at the climate change talks in Cancun, Mexico.
As with the acid rain treaty of the 1980s, Canada can lead the United States and negotiate a Canada-U.S. climate change treaty that would allow us, as North Americans, to combat climate change and increase the likelihood of an international deal before the Kyoto protocol expires in 2012.
We need to act quickly and we need to act now.
Atlantic Beef Products
Statements By Members
11 a.m.
Wayne Easter Malpeque, PE
Mr. Speaker, I rise in the House to congratulate the Atlantic Beef Products plant in Albany, P.E.I. for its recent culinary achievements.
Atlantic Beef Products processes beef from the Maritimes and it does so with "from the farm to the plate" in mind. Its product is getting rave reviews.
As headlined in the local press, "Like a fine wine allowed to age, a group of national food experts has declared P.E.I. beef as some of the finest in North America".
The National Post meat lessons expert Sam Gundy and his team from Olliffe visited farms, toured the plant and sampled the excellence of P.E.I. beef. Emphasizing the P.E.I. production method, Mr. Gundy's article stated, "All of this serves to explain why the beef tastes differently and, why we think better. With its greater age before kill and unique diet, to us the beef has a more beefy taste–resembling what beef used to taste like".
Congratulations to Atlantic Beef Plant and P.E.I. producers for their superior product.
Elections in Côte d'Ivoire
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Deepak Obhrai Calgary East, AB
Mr. Speaker, our government strongly condemns the violence which occurred during the elections in Côte d'Ivoire. On behalf of the Government of Canada, we call on both parties to respect the decision of the people of Côte d'Ivoire. Canada remains committed to ensuring a transparent electoral process.
Yesterday the Independent Electoral Commission announced that Alassane Ouattara had won the presidential election. Since then, the military has sealed all air, land and sea borders into Côte d'Ivoire and blocked international media broadcasts. These are very troubling developments.
Any dispute with the announced result must be dealt with in a legal and peaceful manner. Our government repeats its call for all stakeholders to remain calm and respect the democratic will of the citizens of Côte d'Ivoire.
Les Tournesols Vocal Ensemble
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Jean Dorion Longueuil—Pierre-Boucher, QC
Mr. Speaker, the Les Tournesols vocal ensemble from Boucherville is celebrating its 20th anniversary. Its members span the generations, ranging in age from 20 to 75. This group is made up of some 70 singers who share their talents to the delight of their audience.
This choir has become a real musical institution in the Boucherville community. Organizations like the Les Tournesols vocal ensemble have helped make Boucherville a cultural city, and I am very proud of that.
I am looking forward to attending their next show, entitled Noël à travers nos 20 ans, in which they will revisit well-known Christmas songs in different languages from various countries. I wish Les Tournesols a happy 20th anniversary and many more to come.
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Pierre Poilievre Nepean—Carleton, ON
Mr. Speaker, the Government of Canada strongly condemns recent violence in Egypt targeted at the Coptic Christian minority. Media reports note that the clashes erupted last week between police and hundreds of people protesting after authorities halted the construction of a church in Cairo. It was also reported that several people died and many more were injured.
We also condemn the attacks of the Nag Hammadi, which singled out Christians for persecution in that country.
We impress upon the government of Egypt to take a strong leadership role in protecting all religious freedom and religious tolerance within its borders. Canada is a strong supporter of religious freedom for believers of all faiths.
We encourage the House and the Egyptian government to respect the rights of the Coptic Christians, who have an ancient history in that country and we hope a bright future of freedom and security.
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Lise Zarac LaSalle—Émard, QC
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honour the men and women who voluntarily contribute to society at local, national and international levels.
Established in 1985 by the United Nations, International Volunteer Day is celebrated every December 5 as a way of highlighting the true contributions of volunteers in our society and to also thank the countless volunteers who donate their time and energy.
As advocates, activists, board members, mentors, coaches, disaster relief workers and firefighters, to name a few, Canada's 12.5 million volunteers help their communities grow.
On behalf of the Liberal Party of Canada, I would like to thank volunteers across the country for their commitment to public service. I encourage Canadians to get involved in their community.
Violence Against Women
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Steven Blaney Lévis—Bellechasse, QC
Mr. Speaker, this week, many of my colleagues have talked about the key role that men play in working to end violence against women.
This morning, I would like to talk about a project funded by Status of Women Canada in Quebec, the Regroupement provincial des maisons d'hébergement et de transition pour femmes victimes de violence conjugale, a network of shelters and transition houses for women who are victims of domestic violence.
This project will involve 900 girls and 900 boys in high school. A series of workshops for students and anyone who plays a role in schools will build their capacity to recognize abusive relationships and report them, and improve their ability to react appropriately.
And it will not stop there. Committees will be convened to promote the initiative in schools and encourage young people to speak out against violence and be leaders among their peers.
This initiative is another example of how women, men, girls and boys can work together to end violence against women.
Harmonized Sales Tax
Statements By Members
11:10 a.m.
Paul Dewar Ottawa Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to support the call by the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board for tax fairness.
In a letter to the Minister of Finance, our school trustees are calling for a full rebate of the HST payable by school boards. As members know, the HST has increased the costs in Ontario. Money that should be going to our students' education is being clawed back through the HST. Our school board in Ottawa estimates that a full rebate of the HST will mean $2.3 million in savings. That is a 25% increase in the funds available for upgrading our schools. It means new textbooks, new educational assistants and new learning staff for students. It means new ESL teachers and multi-cultural liaison officers to support Ottawa's growing new-Canadian population.
This is a simple solution to ensure we leave more money in the hands of our school boards to address our students' educational needs. I urge the government to listen to this school board's plea for immediate action.
International Day of Persons with Disabilities
Statements By Members
11:10 a.m.
Maurice Vellacott Saskatoon—Wanuskewin, SK
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise today to mark the International Day of Persons with Disabilities. No government has done more for Canadians with disabilities than our Conservative government.
We introduced the historic registered disability savings plan to help parents and others save for the long-term financial security of a child. Having a child with those concerns and needs, we personally, as a couple, have benefited from that. As a government, we also created the enabling accessibility fund, which is making buildings in communities across the country more accessible. We ratified the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
Just listen to what Al Etmanski from the PLAN Institute had to say. He said, "I believe [this] Government is hands down the most effective Federal champion people with disabilities and their families have ever had."
Our government's initiatives are making a positive difference and we will continue to support the full participation of Canadians with disabilities.
Infrastructure Program
Statements By Members
11:10 a.m.
Diane Bourgeois Terrebonne—Blainville, QC
Mr. Speaker, yesterday, the Bloc Québécois's insistence finally paid off. The government changed its mind, finally saw reason and announced that it would extend the infrastructure program.
Municipalities will have until October 31, 2011, an extra seven months, to complete projects undertaken as part of the program. Quebec's municipal affairs department and the Fédération des municipalités du Québec estimated that nearly a third of the projects would likely not be completed. The Bloc Québécois's victory represents $220 million for Quebec. Let us not forget that the National Assembly unanimously adopted a motion urging the federal government to see reason on this matter.
This is another concrete example of how the Bloc Québécois is useful and relevant in the House of Commons. We take a stand and get things done for Quebec.
Forest Fire in Northern Israel
Statements By Members
11:10 a.m.
Bob Rae Toronto Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, the forest fire in northern Israel has cost dozens of lives and come close to the city of Haifa and many of its people and institutions, including Haifa university which has just been evacuated. Canada and Canadians will respond to this tragedy. Israel's request for assistance in fighting this fire needs a speedy and firm "yes" from federal and provincial governments, including sending fire retardant agents and water bombers.
Our own country knows only too well the devastating impact such fires can have. We can all imagine the impact on a much smaller country and its people. This transcends politics and parties. It is about people helping people and doing so as quickly and effectively as we can.
The Economy
Statements By Members
11:10 a.m.
Jacques Gourde Lotbinière—Chutes-de-la-Chaudière, QC
Mr. Speaker, this morning Statistics Canada reported that 15,200 jobs were created in November and unemployment dropped to 7.6%. November's job growth once again shows that Canada's economic action plan is creating jobs and keeping our economic recovery on track.
The Canadian economy has experienced growth in the last five quarters. Since July of last year, more than 441,000 jobs have been created in Canada. But the global economic recovery remains fragile. And so, jobs and the economy are still our top priority as we implement our action plan for job creation while keeping taxes low.
While Canada's economic action plan continues to produce results for Canadians, the Liberal-NDP-Bloc coalition is planning to increase job creators' taxes, which would put the brakes on our recovery and kill nearly 400,000 jobs.

Implications for practice and research
■ Rapid assessment of patients with potential stroke is imperative for triage nurses.
■ The Recognition of Stroke in the Emergency Room (ROSIER) scale may help triage nurses rapidly recognise stroke and differentiate between potential stroke and common stroke mimics.
■ The following guidelines are recommended for patients with ischaemic stroke1:
■ Administration of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) within 3 h of ischaemic stroke and up to 4.5 h in a select subgroup of patients.
■ Evaluation of stroke symptoms by a physician within 10 min of arrival.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

National Defence
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Progressive Conservative
Gerald Keddy South Shore, NS
Mr. Speaker, the latest Angus Reid survey on the views of Canadians confirms what members of the Progressive Conservative Party have been saying for years: our military requires solid support from the government. In fact, three out of every four Canadians now feel that the defence budget needs to be increased. An even greater majority believes we are not even equipped to defend ourselves any more.
Recently, Canadians saw the Iroquois limp home with a broken Sea King aboard. Now the Iroquois is headed back to the gulf in the midst of a war minus a helicopter. What will it take for the government to wake up and supply and support our Canadian Forces? When asked how they felt about our military, less than half of Canadians said they felt proud. This is a shame and this is the real legacy of the Prime Minister.
Canadian Learning Institute
Statements By Members
March 17th, 2003 / 2:10 p.m.
Peter Adams Peterborough, ON
Mr. Speaker, the budget provides $100 million for the Canadian learning institute. This will be an organization that will help give a national overview of education and training in Canada. It is my hope that it will help us capture the best practices of education and training developed in the wonderful diverse regions of this country.
It is also my hope that it will help identify and deal with problems in education and access to education wherever they occur. I urge that, among other things, the new institute make a particular effort to focus on community college issues and on the special challenges aboriginal people face in education and training across Canada.
The Canadian learning institute will further strengthen Canada, which already has the best educated population in the world.
Amber Alert Program
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Canadian Alliance
Chuck Cadman Surrey North, BC
Mr. Speaker, last week Elizabeth Smart was rescued after nine months in the hands of kidnappers. Her father is pleading for the U.S. Congress to institute the amber alert program nationally.
Amber alert uses radio, TV, electronic billboards and emergency broadcast systems to immediately alert the public about abducted children whose lives are in peril. Over 70 amber alert programs have been established in the United States since the first one appeared in Texas in 1997. About 40 children have been rescued to date.
About a year ago, Toronto became the first Canadian city to introduce amber alert. Alberta, the first province to adopt the program, has committed resources. Earlier this year, Ontario adopted amber alert. Manitoba and my home province of British Columbia are about to follow suit. Unfortunately, however, provincial programs stop at provincial borders.
A truly effective program must be national. Canadians want the federal government to show leadership by instituting a nationwide amber alert program for the sake of our children.
International Women's Day
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Raymonde Folco Laval West, QC
Mr. Speaker, I am proud to rise today to draw attention to International Women's Day, which was March 8.
Canadian women have, through sustained efforts, taken charge of their futures and have brought our society to where it is today, and will help it continue to advance.
This day offers us an opportunity to focus public attention on women who have influenced others, among them Parasketi Hatzis and Demitra Thomakou. These two Canadians of Greek origin have been involved for more than 30 years in the educational field and have left an indelible mark on their families, their community of origin and the Canadian community as a whole.
We all know one or more such remarkable women who have left their mark on their communities. I join with all my colleagues in this House in paying tribute to all these remarkable women.

Stephen Harper Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, the situation in Iraq is moving toward imminent crisis and military action. Canadian Forces have been on the ground there for some time. In fact, 150 military personnel are involved in joint command arrangements with British and American troops on the ground. Is this deployment continuing? Will these personnel remain in the event of war with Iraq?
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
Jean Chrétien Prime Minister
Mr. Speaker, I want to set out the position of the Government of Canada. We believe that Iraq must fully abide by the resolution of the United Nations Security Council. We have always made clear that Canada would require the approval of the Security Council if we were to participate in a military campaign.
Over the last few weeks the Security Council has been unable to agree on a new resolution authorizing military action. Canada worked very hard to find a compromise to bridge the gap in the Security Council. Unfortunately, we were not successful. If military action proceeds without a new resolution of the Security Council, Canada will not participate.
We have ships in the area as part of our participation in the struggle against terrorism. Our ships will continue to perform their important mission against terrorism.

Stephen Harper Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, in the past we have seen nations support a military action without sending forces, but this is the first time we have ever seen a country not support a military action and send forces anyway. What a bizarre position.
Let me get the Prime Minister to answer my first question. We have troops on the ground in the Iraq theatre, with British and American soldiers, being deployed. Are they going to stay there or not?
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
Jean Chrétien Prime Minister
Mr. Speaker, we have a certain number of people who are in exchange with the British and the American troops and they are doing some activities there. It is not in a combat situation. I think that they should respect the undertakings they have made to the other governments as their troops are doing that. The number is quite limited. Some are involved in surveillance in planes and so on, and they will carry on their duty that they started some months ago.

Stephen Harper Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, I guess we have a government here that is indeed half-pregnant.
The government says it will only support military action if there is a second United Nations resolution, but I will quote from the January 31 edition of the Charlottetown Guardian . The Prime Minister said, "...Resolution 1441 will authorize action".
Is he saying today that it does not authorize action or is this yet another flip-flop in the Canadian government's position?
Oral Question Period
2:20 p.m.
Jean Chrétien Prime Minister
Mr. Speaker, last week there was a very important development. The Americans, the British and the Spanish introduced a resolution in the Security Council to authorize action, and it was not voted in, so they have superposed this resolution over 1441, and they did not get the authorization from the Security Council.
Oral Question Period
2:20 p.m.
Canadian Alliance
Stockwell Day Okanagan—Coquihalla, BC
Mr. Speaker, it appears that an allied coalition of some 30 countries is about to intervene in Iraq to enforce resolution 1441. A coalition of nations and exiled Iraqis has also been hard at work on plans to build democratic institutions in Iraq, but Canada has largely been left out of these planning groups that are working towards freedom for the Iraqi people. Why has Canada been left out?
Oral Question Period
2:20 p.m.
Jean Chrétien Prime Minister
Mr. Speaker, a year ago I said to the President of the United States that Canada would intervene in a conflict with Iraq only if we were to have a resolution authorizing intervention by the Security Council. They have known my position and the position of the government since the first day. We have always stuck with that position. Today we have the conclusion that the Security Council does not have a resolution to authorize action, so we are not participating.

Stockwell Day Okanagan—Coquihalla, BC
He was not paying attention, Mr. Speaker. That was not the question.
It is very clear that Canada has lost influence and is not vitally included in the planning discussions to liberate the people of Iraq, post-Saddam. We are not there because our allies know we have underfunded our military, we are dragging our feet on banning terrorist groups that our allies banned a long time ago, and we have troops over there but we are not going to commit them.
When will the federal government address these unacceptable deficiencies in our foreign policy commitments so that we can restore the international confidence that we once enjoyed?
Oral Question Period
2:20 p.m.
Jean Chrétien Prime Minister
Mr. Speaker, our commitment to fight terrorism is very well known. We have agreed to send troops, thousands of them, next summer, to fight terrorism in Afghanistan. We will keep our duty to do that.
On the question of Iraq and military intervention in Iraq, we said that we could not participate if it was not approved by a resolution of the Security Council. It is what I said a year ago and am repeating today.
Oral Question Period
2:20 p.m.
Gilles Duceppe Laurier—Sainte-Marie, QC
Mr. Speaker, we are pleased and supportive of the fact Canada will not take part in this coalition that is not backed by the UN.
However, the presence of Canadian ships in the Persian Gulf or Canadian soldiers as part of American or British battalions, or even Canadian officers as part of the joint command means that Canada might end up doing indirectly what it does not want to do directly.
It is hard to believe that Canadian soldiers or materiel will not be used in the conflict against Iraq, even if they are there as part of the fight against terrorism.
Would it not be more consistent to withdraw all of the materiel and soldiers from the Persian Gulf and the region?

Letting Go - Page 2
Why does this matter?
Trail running requires training flexibility. Each day on the trail is different. You may run an hour on a clear, sunny day and it feels effortless, but you come back the same week after a storm, slipping in the mud. On the second run, you use way more energy to cover the same distance, and it takes 20 minutes longer.
Says Cynthia Lauren Arnold, of Glenwood Springs, Colorado, the 2009 USATF Trail Marathon champion, "Being able to realize when I'm breathing too hard, or not hard enough, is essential to gauging my effort. There is no point in saying, `I'm going to run that mile at this pace,' because sometimes you don't know what that mile is like."
Gauging perceived effort can be much harder than it sounds. It takes practice to know the appropriate effort level needed to finish a given trail run or race. Dave Mackey of Boulder, Colorado, who, at 41, is still winning most races he enters and recently broke the course record at the Bandera 100K, explains that easy recovery runs should be just that. If you can't hold a conversation, you are going too fast. And during hard efforts, "Your muscles will tell you when to take a break," says Mackey. "If your quadriceps or hamstrings start to feel overly tired on uphills, it's time to back off."
Geoff Roes, who set the Western States 100-Mile Endurance Run course record in 2010, does not follow a set training plan -- instead he runs based on feel. "I go out each day and simply do what feels right," says Roes. "When you go with the flow and just run how you feel, you end up having an easier time accepting your efforts and not second guessing them."
Says Mackey, "I am notorious for not using any measurement devices to calculate my effort level or distance. I don't even keep a training log. I wear a watch, but sometimes forget it at home."
What about a GPS?
Of course, in an era when GPS devices don the wrists of many runners and smart-phone apps track training and running routes on online programs (see Trail Tested, "Mobile Mania," Issue 71, March 2011), it is possible to more accurately log your miles, pace and vertical gain/loss. But trail miles are different than road miles. While pavement offers the same even surface, mile after mile, trails' uneven terrain and often more abrupt elevation changes and obstacles make distance less important.
Gene Meade, 47, of Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina, recently began trail running after many years of pavement pounding. With his crossover, he purchased a Garmin Forerunner 305. "I really enjoy being able to track my distances, time and pace, but I've also realized I can easily become obsessed," says Meade. "To break free from all the stats, I leave my Garmin at home at least once a week, and just discover what my body will give me. If I'm feeling good, I pick up the pace. If not, then I hold it or slow down."
Keller tells his athletes to "take and receive what the trail gives you." Part of trail running's beauty lies in its raw element of exploration—something you simply cannot measure.
Measure Up
Here are the results from our online poll, asking how you how you track your training.
- 64%—I measure everything with my GPS device. I want my mileage as accurate as possible.
- 7%—Trail maps and markers give me a good idea of mileage.
- 23%—I just track my total run time. Exact mileage doesn't concern me much.
- 2%—I use a heart-rate monitor to measure my effort. I might also time my run, but I don't worry about mileage.
- 4%—I don't track my training, because I run to enjoy nature.

Hmmm, a pretty questionable 7542, to say the least. The leaves don't look right, and the edge of the cake - is it rounded? Is it messy? Is it a straight edge?
The tea also does look too young for it to be credibly late 90s, but the colours of your pictures are off, I think.
Besides, the resolution is too low (ahem Chip ahem) so I can't see clearly.

Rated 4 out of 5�by mudshoe Great service-- test yet to come I stopped in at Dick's by Delta Park three times before I settled on a proper , light, surf fishing rod. Every time the staff was very helpful and if the particular clerk did not know about the product they got someone that did know. I will be using the rod for surf perch soon and putting it to the test and compare it with the clerk's statements. I may upgrade this review to excellent very soon. 9.5' Okuma SST rod. March 11, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by John Elder Fishing Guide Service Okuma SST good bang for the buck Excellent jig and bobber rod. Really like the 9-1/2ft version for my drift boat. Gives enough length to put some good pressure on fish with light line, but not so long you have issues landing fish in the boat and high sticking it. July 20, 2012

Coach USA bus accident closes Route 60
HUD awards $2.5M grant to Senecas
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development recently awarded the Seneca Nation Housing Authority a grant of nearly $2.5 million. The grant is for a broad range of affordable housing activities through HUD's Indian Housing Block Grant Program.
According to the block grant application by the SNHA, funds will be used to rehabilitate substandard housing units and to install accessibility to disabled households. The money will also help fund the construction of nine new homes and possible infrastructure for a housing development project.
Also planned is offering closing cost assistance on mortgages for Seneca members who wish to purchase homes within New York state. Finance and maintenance classes will be offered to current and potential residents.
Nationwide, HUD is awarding $563 million to 353 American Indian and Alaskan Native entities.
"Hardworking American families in tribal communities should be able to live in communities where they have a fair shot to reach their potential," HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan said. "The resources provided today will give these tribal communities the tools to maintain quality housing, prevent overcrowding, improve public safety and provide other basic building blocks of security and success."
The SNHA also plans on using funds to install fences, lighting and speed bumps, as well as surveillance systems at various buildings to beef up area security. The plan also includes creating a fire-safe room at the Cattaraugus elder's facility and installing 40 new storm and entry doors at the Allegany elder's facility.
Block grant funds primarily benefit families living on reservations or in other Native American communities who don't have the financial resources to maintain good homes, schools or other key contributors to economic security.
The amount of each grant is based on a formula that considers local needs and housing units under management by the tribe or designated entity.
The block grant approach to housing was established by the Native American Housing Assistance and Self Determination Act of 1996.

A Note From Stephanie Link
Alternatively, we offer videos with our experts for easy viewing. Take a look at our Columnist Conversation box where our contributors chat amongst themselves and feel free to reach out to any of them directly and give them feedback on their articles in the comment section. We also provide daily upgrades and downgrades by Wall Street analysts and important earnings estimate changes and call outs to key research reports.
Below are a few article highlights from this past week:
On RealMoney: Matthew Bradbard -- one of our newest RM contributors talks about the trade of a lifetime in the Eurodollar :
I am going out on a limb here, and if there is no change in interest rates in the next 27 months I will be wrong.
If and when rates move higher, bearish exposure in long-dated Eurodollar contracts could be the preeminent trade of my career. Not only do I see the potential for great profit, I like the outlook in regards to risk.
This is NOT the euro currency that is trading at roughly $1.26, but rather the debt instrument tied to the short end of the yield curve. As defined on the CME website: Eurodollar Time Deposit having a principal value of USD $1,000,000 with a three-month maturity. Quoted in IMM Three-Month LIBOR index points or 100 minus the rate on an annual basis over a 360 day year (e.g., a rate of 2.5% shall be quoted as 97.50). 1 basis point = .01 = $25. ( Continued)
Meena Krishnamsetty -- also a new RM team player looks at the latest investments being made by high profile investors :
At Insider Monkey, we track 13F SEC filings from many hedge funds and other large investors, including the investment activities of billionaires and their investment teams. For today's piece, we'll focus on the consumer sector: Within that space, here are the five largest new positions from billionaires.
First, Bill Ackman's Pershing Square initiated a position of about 22 million shares in Procter & Gamble (PG) -- which, according to the fund's 13F filing, made this the second-largest position in the fund's portfolio. Shares of the personal-products giant -- whose brands include Pantene, Gillette, Pampers and Duracell -- has low market exposure, with a beta of 0.3, and the company pays a 3.3% dividend. It has also reported solid year-over-year earnings growth in the last quarter. The stock, meanwhile, trades at 18x trailing earnings. While that may be a bit high, Wall Street analysts believe earnings will continue to grow -- and, on a forward basis, its price-to-earnings ratio is 16x. Given the dividend yield, this may be a fairly valued defensive pick. ( Continued)

Youth Summit spotlights local substance abuse issues
The teens who attended the 2013 Hamilton County Youth Summit at Trinity Lutheran Church in Webster City Feb. 1 shed some important light on the substance abuse problems our local youth see affecting themselves and their peers.
Power Up YOUth, which coordinated the Summit, heard from more than 30 Webster City and Northeast Hamilton high school students, and those students offered suggestions to our community leaders that just might put a dent in the problem of local, teen-level substance abuse.
They acted. Now it's your turn.
This year's youth summit participants made suggestions that can be acted upon. They include:
Provide more police patrols at hot spots such as Nokomis Park in Webster City and abandoned buildings.
Install better lighting at Nokomis Park.
Install security cameras at the Webster City Middle School parking lot.
The students believe harsher consequences would deter drug use. To that end, they suggest:
The low percentage of time athletes sit on the sidelines when self-reporting illegal drug use is too short to be a deterrent.
Here are some more of their insights:
Students sometimes bring vodka to school in water bottles, so they suggest the school kitchen provide water bottles to students that could be washed and stored at the school each night.
They believe prevention needs to be emphasized. They think classes similar to the fifth-grade DARE class should be offered at the high school due to the greater pressures and temptations to use drugs or alcohol at that age.
They suggest establishing an Awareness Day with speakers and assemblies to learn more about drug use prevention.
The students made suggestions for the community at large too:
They believe that if there were more drug-free fun activities for youth drugs would be less desirable. They recommend that these events be set on a regular schedule, require a short time commitment, and include youth during the planning process.
They want more training about the anonymous tip service available through Hamilton County Crimestoppers, because they don't understand how information sent on cell phones can be kept anonymous. They also are uncertain about whether reporting a crime is being a good friend and citizen or snitching
They recommend neighborhood watches.
They want to hear adults speaking out against drug use so that they have role models.
During last year's Summit, students told Northeast Hamilton staff that they wanted more drug education during their high school years; NEH responded by making health class mandatory.
Also last year, teens said they wanted more parental involvement in preventing substance abuse; in response, Power Up YOUth published booklets that were sent to the parents of all Hamilton County high school students, as well as some middle school parents. The booklets focused on marijuana.
Youth attending the 2012 Summit also wanted influential adults to speak up with anti-drug messages more often. To that end, Power Up YOUth began surveying youth organizations and clubs to see if they have policies that encourage kids to live drug-free. We also sought to learn how often those policies are shared.
Helping youth grow strong in a strong community is the responsibility of more than just a few select people. Every one of us can play a role, large or small. Some already have. The Webster City Rotary Club, Diamond K Kiwanis and Trinity Lutheran Church supported the 2013 Youth Summit in various ways, as did the Webster City Pizza Hut and the Webster Theater, and numerous other volunteers. Community leaders took the time to listen to youth recommendations.
Their contributions helped to create a climate in which local youth felt free to share their thoughts with the community. It is simply a beginning. Our next step should show local youth that we heard them. And that we will act.
Kathy Getting is director of Power Up YOUth, which is funded by a federal grant administrated through Upper Des Moines Opportunity Inc.

Today I tried silver needle for the second time. First time I could hardly taste it. The second time I added more leaf. 180 degrees five minutes. I don't know. I could almost get this same result from steeping an actual silver needle or a straight pin.
It looked good in the white cup and had some color and fragrance. Happy so far I took a sip. At the back of my tongue I could tell that what I had in my mouth wasn't just hot water. Slightly astringent maybe? I drank three small cups this way but trying to find any flavor was like...like scanning the horizon of the ocean trying to see a small ship that you know is out there somewhere and is about to disappear over the edge. "Is that it? No, no...maybe that's it there! No, that's not it either." I can't think of how else to describe it. Well I think I caught a glimpse of it anyway. I liked what little I could taste.
How much of this tea do you have to use to get flavor? I used what seems to me to be waay more than I do of anything else. I know it's not like pu or black but man...at this point I'm thinking 'pack the teapot solid' with leaf, fill the voids with water then maybe take the leaves and chew on them for a while like tobacco. Maybe then I could get some taste.
