Mike Fitzpatrick on Environment
Former Republican Representative (PA-8, 2005-2007)
Congressional Summary:Amends the Animal Welfare Act to define a "high volume retail breeder" as a person who, in commerce, for compensation or profit: has an ownership interest in or custody of one or more breeding female dogs; and sells more than 50 of the offspring of such dogs for use as pets in any one-year period. Considers such a breeder of dogs to be a dealer.
Promulgates requirements for the exercise of dogs at facilities owned or operated by high volume retail breeders, including requiring daily access to exercise that allows the dogs to move sufficiently in a way that is not forced, repetitive, or restrictive; and is in an area that is spacious, cleaned at least once a day, free of infestation by pests or vermin, and designed to prevent the dogs from escaping.
Opponent's Comments (GSDCA, the German Shepherd Dog Club of America):In the past, legislation has excluded home/hobby breeders. This bill would, for the first time, require home/hobby breeders to follow the strict USDA requirements, such as engineering standards designed for large commercial kennels and not homes. Such regulations would exceedingly difficult to meet in a home/residential breeding environment. If passed, PUPS would disastrously reduce purposely-bred pups for the public.
There is nothing in this bill that changes the status of already known substandard kennel violators. There is no increase in funding for additional inspectors, nor is increased inspection evaluation education included.
Dogs purposely bred for showing, trialing or other events often are not bred for several years due to many different reasons. Some of these dogs may never be bred, yet are included in the count.
Working kennels maintain a large dog population while they are evaluating dogs; if the dogs do not work out for the purpose for which they were intended, they are often sold as pets. This could bring those working/training kennels under USDA regulations.
112th Mid-Term Humane Scorecard: The Humane Society Legislative Fund has posted the final version of the 2011 Humane Scorecard, where you can track the performance of your federal lawmakers on key animal protection issues during last year. We rated legislators based on their voting behavior on measures such as agribusiness subsidies, lethal predator control, and the Endangered Species Act; their cosponsorship of priority bills on puppy mills, horse slaughter, animal fighting, and chimps in research; their support for funding the enforcement of animal welfare laws; and their leadership on animal protection. All of the priority bills whose cosponsorships we're counting enjoy strong bipartisan support; in the House, each of the four now has more than 150 cosponsors.
The Humane Scorecard is not a perfect measuring tool, but creating some reasonable yardstick and allowing citizens to hold lawmakers accountable is central to our work. When the Humane Scorecard comes out each year, it helps clarify how the animal protection movement is doing geographically, by party affiliation, and in other categories. It helps us chart our course for animals by seeing where we have been effective, and where we need to improve.

David Hall: The 1862 is one of the two most common 1860-64 copper-nickel Indian cents (the other is the 1863). The 1862 is slightly rarer than the 1863 in mint state condition, but the 1863 is rarer in Gem MS65 or better. The 1862 is usually well-struck and luster is often excellent. The typical mint state examples have a bright, light frosty luster.

I haven't made any of them yet (I just ordered some pearls) so I can't say they're perfect, but they seem pretty consistent from what experience I have with recipes.
I'd had a hard time finding a decent recipe because most others I came across had such vague measuring as "1 scoop", which was probably dependent on a proprietary powder mix.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: LDWA event for walkers and runners - tough route - well organised and great fo those new to going off road In full: I've run a few LDWA events before and have always found them to be friendly and well organised - this was no exception. Tough but interesting route - checkpoints were well stocked with soft drinks and biscuits etc. I opted for the 20-miler which, in the muddy conditions, was plenty for me. Date of review: January 25, 2010
In short: A seriously good 1/2 marathonIn full: Yes it's tough (especially on a warm day) but it's well organised and runners at the front, middle and back are all equally encouraged and looked after. Hope to be back to run this again next year.Date of review: May 26, 2009
In short: Well organised friendly event - good to see it growing in popularityIn full: A fun run, not a race - try telling that to the group I was struggling to keep up with - very well organised low key friendly event - good for beginners and experienced runners alike - maybe I'll have a crack at the full marathon next time around (if I can get enough miles in my legs).Date of review: May 11, 2009
In short: South Downs splendour makes up for the toughness of the courseIn full: I've run the full marathon four times now - lack of miles in legs restricted me to running the half marathon this time around - still a very tough but very enjoyable run - very friendly event - cakes at the finish much appreciated.Date of review: May 5, 2009
In short: Challenging three lap course not to everyone's liking but a brilliant way to round off the running yearIn full: Organisation is as good as you'll find anywhereDate of review: December 3, 2007
In short: A tough old race but don't let that put you off one of the friendliest off-roaders on the calendar In full: My third time of doing this and getting ever slower - scenic but testing course - well organised and very friendly event - good test of duration and endurance.Date of review: October 15, 2007
In short: Despite the wet slippery conditions an excellent run in a nice part of the country, great organsation, very friendly and excellent cakes at the finish. Well done WadhurstDate of review: July 2, 2007

Jury duty is highest duty of all American citizens
By Judge Robert J. Morris Jr.
Published May 18, 2007
It has been well-documented that fewer Americans who are eligible to vote exercise their right to do so. As our population continues to swell, we feel ever more removed from the officials we elect and empower to decide the issues of the day for us.
In a representative form of democracy, such as ours, it is comforting to have some connection with the person you must trust to advocate for you on taxes, national security, education, crime and punishment, and other such weighty matters. However, very few of us have this privilege.
Unfortunately, it is not realistic in such a populous nation to actually know or be able to communicate directly with the elected officials who are charged with considering our best interests when voting on issues of critical importance to us. All too often the American voter feels betrayed by elected officials. Voters believe (whether correctly or not) the officials often vote the wrong way because they didn't really know how the voters felt. This disenfranchisement naturally leads to mistrust, apathy and indifference.
The constitutional mandate of separation of powers provides that laws are made in the legislative branch of government, enforced in the executive branch of government and interpreted and applied in the judicial branch of government.
While we are required to have faith in our duly elected representatives in the legislative and executive branches to make the right call, ordinary citizens are the decisionmakers in the judicial branch. Each week, thousand of citizens report for jury service in courthouses in the cities, villages and towns all across America. Those citizens are impaneled in juries for both criminal and civil trials with one clear mission: to decide whether the defendant is guilty.
While the judge instructs the jury on the law, it is the jury - and the jury alone - who decides which witnesses were telling the truth and which ones weren't, what evidence was believable and what wasn't, and whether the ultimate verdict is to be guilty or not guilty. The jury, not the judge, makes the ultimate call in a trial.
The genius of our nation's founders was, and is, that while we may be willing to trust others to make and enforce our laws, we trust no one, except a jury of our peers, to deprive a person of life, liberty or property.
If you don't like what is happening in the trial courts of America, you have no one to blame but yourself if you have dodged the call of jury duty. If you want a direct hand in the functioning of government, respond to the call for jury service. You can be the decisionmaker.
An informed electorate is vital to the proper functioning of a democracy. It is crucial that large numbers of informed citizens report to polls every election to vote so that the will of the majority can truly be ascertained. However, responding to the call of jury service has been said to be the highest duty of an American citizen. Without jurors, the judicial branch of government would come to a standstill.
Not only would civil and criminal cases of vital interest to litigants remain unresolved, the judicial branch would be unable to perform its critical function of acting as a check and balance on the legislative and executive branches.
It is the courts that strike down an unconstitutional law passed by the legislature, and it is the courts that halt the executive branch from unconstitutionally enforcing laws against individuals in violation of their civil liberties. Therefore, a free and independent judiciary is the vital lifeblood of our uniquely American way of life. It is the courts, which can function only with juries made up of citizens, that are, in many ways, the last bulwark against tyranny.
Indeed, it is a rare privilege to observe firsthand the determination and commitment many prospective jurors bring to the task at hand. It is clear from their sense of purpose that they grasp the gravamen of the assignment. While most trials last a day or two, some can last for days or even weeks and go well into the night and on weekends. Undaunted and ever-patient, typical jurors will remain steadfast in their mission to hear and see all the evidence, listen to the instructions on the law and ultimately decide the case. In all but the rarest of cases, what the jury decides cannot be wrong. A judge can make an incorrect ruling on the law, which can cause the case to be reversed on appeal, but the jury's verdict is what justice in America is. The people have spoken.
The month of May has been set aside to honor and pay tribute to those who have served on juries this past year. Accordingly, the 69 judges of the 6th Judicial Circuit in Pasco and Pinellas counties hereby salute, with gratitude, the women and men who have selflessly responded to the call of duty to serve on a jury.
Circuit Judge Robert J. Morris Jr. is chief judge-elect of the 6th Judicial Circuit.

|So many children entered through these doors
It's obvious that just about everything needs help. Roof, siding, windows, foundation. The "Grand Old Lady" of St. Vincent, that housed so many young souls on their journey of learning, deserves better.
|At one time, the school had basketball, football, hockey, & track
teams. The mystery is, where did the basketball teams practice?!
The St. Vincent School, once the heart of the town, has become forgotten by most. Only the few living alumni or older area residents know its former glory.
I am one of those alumni, and I am here to bear testimony to this once proud building.
I grew up four blocks north of the school. In winter, it was sometimes a challenge despite being bundled up, to get down to the school before the penetrating cold invaded fingers, toes, cheeks, and ears. Eyes stung from the cold and wind, some mornings so bright I looked down as I walked the whole way.

OHIO ST REG SEAS WINS o9+195
OHIO ST REG SEAS WINS u9-245
I fucking love the over. 195 on a 100 bet? I'm in, hell I would have taken even odds on the over at 9. People are forgetting that while Tress and Pryor are gone this is still the most talented team in the B1G.
Sat, Sept 3 vs Akron
Sat, Sept 10 vs Toledo
Sat, Sept 17 @ Miami (FL)
Sat, Sept 24 Colorado
Sat, Oct 1 Michigan State
Sat, Oct 8 @ Nebraska
Sat, Oct 15 @ Illinois
Sat, Oct 29 Wisconsin
Sat, Nov 5 Indiana
Sat, Nov 12 @ Purdue
Sat, Nov 19 Penn State
Sat, Nov 26 @ Michigan
I looked down the list of games and I see the following:
Guaranteed wins:
Miami (rightfully assuming that 50% of their starting L/U will be suspended)
Colorado (terrible team)
Almost Guaranteed Wins:
so IMO, all OSU has to do is win one of Wisco, Nebraska or MSU to cover and do as predicted across the board. I like their chances to win one of those games. It may be time to capitalize on the medias exaggerations re: the death of OSU football because come Sep 17, they will realize that the team is just fine.

idk why he said he banned me? cause he didn't? so was he just lying to look cool?
and if anyone believed him lol obviously that wouldn't be true cuz I didn't do anything breaking the neo rules.
I left for a year and a half because I felt the only two forums on neo that were relevant to me were full of toxic/immature members. most were like 12 anyway. and the fact that neo is a generalist game site makes it inherently more common to find "for fun" gamers who play 1000 games than "for real" gamers who do 1 or 2 very well. so I focused on brawl and spent more time on swf/aib.

Earlier this month, the Washington Post profiled Center Stage, one of the newest and most dynamic programs run by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. Post blogger Jacqueline Trescott wrote:
"A new initiative called Center Stage will send artists from Pakistan, Indonesia, and Haiti across the United States to perform in 60 cities.
"The program kicks off June 19 with a musical sampling at the Kennedy Center's Millennium Stage. That's a free event.
"Selected for the initial tour are singer-songwriter Arieb Azhar and the rock band Noori from Pakistan, who play in [this video].
"Once the artists are booked into Bellows Falls, Vt., Portland, Me., Bloomington, Ind., Ann Arbor, Mich., Gainesville, Fl., Hartsville, S.C. and Iowa City, Iowa, among the 60 stops, they will perform, hold workshops and participate in artist-to-artist discussions.
"For decades the State Department has organized exchange programs and enlisted artists and performers as envoys. Right now the Trey McIntyre Project is on a tour of Asia."
We're excited that the Post opted to highlight such an exciting program, and we hope to see you at the kickoff event on June 19! You can learn more about Center Stage here.

How To Tuesday: Doggy Delight
I have never been shy in pronouncing my love for my main man, Smitty. To say the "cat is out of the bag" would seem a little ridiculous. So, I'm not saying that (even though I just did). What I am saying is that my sidekick of nearly six years has been more loyal than some friends and certainly more loyal than any boyfriend I've ever had. To say we are inseparable would be a bit of an understatement. Although I've been away from him for over a week and feel as if my heart may be missing. For that, I spoil him in anyway I can; whether it be a belly rub or some delicious home baked treats.
I've mentioned making pupcakes for my beloved pooch once before, but this time we've got a full blown tutorial. Sure, sure, you could shell out an astronomical $2.50 a pop at Sprinkles, but as delicious as their K9 treats may be… they're missing one very important ingredient: your love. Sweet, I know. Don't get used to it.
Anyway, these are very easy to make and are safe for your pooch to eat. Just don't overindulge the little guy/girl… we all know what a cupcake hangover feels like. Not good.
Bow wow wow.
So, it's up to you again. What shall we "How To" next week?

Barry University's School of Podiatric Medicine awarded two senior students, Jessica Ortega and Thomas Wilson with the 2012 Dr. James V. Stelnicki Scholarship for Excellence in Lower Extremity Vascular Medicine. The scholarships derive from Dr. Stelnicki's $100,000 donation to the School of Podiatric Medicine, which awards $5,000 to each student.
The student research team was selected by the research faculty committee based upon their strong interest in lower extremity vascular medicine and demonstration of significant progress on the research project titled, "Hemodialysis-Induced Hypotension in the Foot as Measured by Skin Perfusion Pressure and Toe Brachial Index."
The purpose of this research study is to determine if patients with diabetes, on routine dialysis, are at risk of experiencing decreased perfusion to the foot during hemodialysis as measured by skin perfusion pressure, pulse volume recording, toe-brachial index, and ankle-brachial index. This is an IRB approved prospective study that will be carried out at Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami Beach to demonstrate a change in peripheral skin microcirculation in the lower extremity of 70 patients with diabetes undergoing chronic hemodialysis. The results of this study may help physicians determine which patients could potentially benefit from early vascular intervention, in turn minimizing limb loss.
"We are very proud of the work and efforts put forth by Thomas Wilson and Jessica Ortega in obtaining the first Barry University School of Podiatric Medicine research study approved at such a prestigious teaching institution as Mount Sinai," said Dr. Jacqueline Brill, associate professor of surgery and residency director for the Barry University/Mount Sinai podiatric residency program. "Student doctors Ortega and Wilson are most worthy and admirable recipients of Dr. Stelnicki's scholarship."

Gaels to face East Sac County
A return trip to the state tournament gets tougher for the St. Edmond boys tonight as they'll face East Sac County and one of the states leading scorers in Reed Tellinghuisen.
The Gaels (14-8 overall) will face the Raiders (17-6) inside the Fort Dodge Senior High Gym at 7 p.m.
St. Edmond is coming off an opening round 57-48 victory over South Hamilton and East Sac County defeated Manson Northwest Webster 57-54.
Tellinghuisen comes into the contest averaging 25.6 per contest, which leads Class 2A and is second in the state.
"He's going to get his points," said St. Edmond head coach Adolph Kochendorfer. "He has the green light to shoot and he'll do it about 25 times.
"We'll have to try and slow him down a little bit."
Tellinghuisen, is shooting 47.5 percent from the floor and has hit 75 three pointers (38.1) percent.
The Raider junior has scored above 20 points in all but three of 23 games. He has scored 30 or more four times, including a career-high 51 points.
Justi Kraft (9.8) and Tyler Jacobsen (9.0) are the second and third leading scorers for East Sac County.
"Defensively we have to slow them down," Kochendorfer said. "We want to defend them as a team and rebound the basketball and don't give up second shots."
Offensively for the Gaels, junior Robby Burke is the leading scorer. Burke is averaging 17.2 points per contest. He shooting 68 percent from the floor.
Senior David Flattery is also scoring in double figures at 12.7 per contest. Flattery has hit a team high 41 three pointers for the Gaels.
"They're a pretty good team," Kochendorfer said. "They've played good competition.
"We have to have good ball movement and we have to be patient."
The winner of tonight's contest will face the winner of Forest City and top-ranked West Fork. That substate final will be on Saturday in Webster City at 7 p.m.

At The Mercy Of Special Interest Groups
To The Reader's Forum:
A government shut down. A government that does not govern. A representative government that does not represent. The United States was founded on several unbending concepts. Concepts that were not to be violated and not to be negotiated away. However, there is a new sense of something going wrong in this land that can no longer be denied. There is a belief held that the government of the United States is no longer the intended style of government we expect.
We elect representatives to be reasonable people who will see all sides of a situation, discuss that situation and create a compromise that works. That is not what we now have. We now are represented by a group of people who have an entirely different agenda. It appears that the agenda now being followed is one that is not concerned with the person working day to day. It is a shame that we are now at the mercy of our own government.
Frankenstein lives. We, the people, have created a government that has become the masters of the creators, us. I deeply deplore this ruling body that has the audacity to stop the payments of thousand of government workers, American citizens, and keep their own pay flowing. They have decided that they will not live by the rules they make. A la King George.
It is my hope that this present situation passes., like others have, however, I fear that while this Congress will come and go, the ruling body will not change its stripes. We seem to be at the mercy of the latest group of millionaires who are special interests controlled over the needs of the people. I am upset by this situation and other than vote and write letters I am without power to even speak to these people directly. They have no need to speak to the individual citizen other than to maintain the ruse of being our representative
Where do we go from here? Who knows? But so long as our government is more concerned with who sleeps with whom, who cheats on food stamps, maintaining the power of Monsanto, oil company tax gifts, and a whole array of those concepts that do not help the man in the street, we are in trouble.
Remember, "power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely."

Water Project Catalyzes Communication Students
In news, policy, politics and entertainment, water is a hot topic. Safe drinking water. Water scarcity. Pollution and toxic contamination. Conservation and resources management. Hygiene and sanitation.
American University students are mapping the treatment of these issues in their professional fields and producing new reporting, strategic communication campaigns, media productions and communication research through the Water Project, an innovative, experiential cross-disciplinary initiative launched by the School of Communication.
Spearheaded by former SOC Dean Larry Kirkman, the Water Project demonstrates the value of sharing work across academic divisions. "The goal of the Water Project is to engage faculty and students in communicating water problems and solutions - local to global in scope, with scientific, economic, political, legal, and ethical dimensions - and in collaboration with partner organizations, which provide resources and outlets for student work," says Kirkman.
25 SOC faculty members have embraced the project, which launched in the fall of 2013, agreeing to incorporate water issues into course assignments over the next two academic years. In its first semester, the Water Project has yielded high caliber work for public television, national advocacy organizations and municipal initiatives.
Chesapeake Bay
Building on SOC's long track record of work around issues related to the Chesapeake Bay, students in journalism, film and public relations courses found new questions to ask, and answer.
A video profile of 15-year old Jamie, from Edgewater, Md., by Gillian Ray, a student in Bill Gentile's backpack journalism course, tells the story of Jamie's commitment to preserving the Bay through oyster gardening. Gillian found Jaimie with the help of the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay, which was responsible for connecting several students to local watershed initiatives that serve as case studies, clients for strategic campaigns and media production, and sources/stories for journalists and documentary makers.
Gillian Ray films Jamie
Graduate journalism student Mary Bowerman investigated the conflict between farmers and environmentalists regarding the regulation of phosphorous in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed for Angie Chuang's Reporting of Public Affairs course, which focuses on analyzing and making accessible the real-world impact of federal policy. Bowerman's multimedia timeline tracks the path of regulatory efforts to bring back the Chesapeake Bay beginning with the first recognition of decline in the 1960's to the present struggle to implement environmentally sustainable agricultural practices. Her article and audio podcasts bring to life the passionate debate and deep divisions that the evolving policies have inspired.
Raise the River
Six students received priceless exposure when their PSAs were selected by the Raise the River campaign to be showcased along with the students' bios throughout the month of February. Several film and media arts classes worked with the Redford Center, part of the Sundance group of organizations, to produce PSAs for RTR, a unique partnership of six well-known U.S. and Mexican non-governmental organizations committed to restoring the Colorado River Delta. Social media promotion by RTR and partner organizations including the Environmental Defense Fund and the Nature Conservancy extended the reach of the PSAs to another 650,000 people.
Still from Raise the River PSA created by Brian Kelly
The Redford Center donated all the elements of its Watershed documentary, Executive Produced and Narrated by Robert Redford and Directed by award-winning filmmaker, Mark Decena, with split audio tracks and including outtakes, for use by the students in their productions. Brigid Maher's class Techniques/Aesthetics of Editing used the footage to produce short webisodes; two pieces from Terence Johnson, Olivia and Ted, and one from Daniela Pérez Frías were among those selected by RTR. Maher says, "Working with the Redford Center on the Raise the River campaign was a remarkable opportunity for students to explore a vital and critical environmental issue and at the same time gain professional experience. This is a great example of the kind of experiences available to students at SOC." Work from Pedro Carvalho, Brian Kelly, Jason Kurtis, and Wynette Yao was also showcased.
Framing the Debate
Professor Dotty Lynch's class on strategic communication research methods dove into over a decade's worth of research commissioned by the Nature Conservancy from top pollsters to identify effective ways to communicate water issues to the public, particularly young people. Lynch reports that "The Conservancy and the pollsters have been over-the-top helpful in sharing the data and analyses, which show how powerful water is for conservation messaging."
Since 2004, Democratic pollster Dave Metz and Republican pollster Lori Weigel have conducted three national polls, analyzed regional and state polls, and produced recommendations in a summary memo on the "Language of Conservation."
Metz Skyped with the class to present the findings, explain how they lead to a strategy for communicating conservation, and answer questions. The students produced secondary analyses based on the Conservancy's data, and conducted focus groups and an online survey, to craft strategy memos on engaging young people. These informed projects in other courses and Lynch's students acted as consultants for specific film projects.
A Call to Action
A touchstone for many classes throughout the project is Academy Award winner Jessica Yu's documentary Last Call at the Oasis. Chris Palmer, director of SOC's Center for Environmental Filmmaking, said the film inspired his students. "The students in my weekend MA class were stunned by the film. The clarity of its message and the dramatic unfolding of the story gripped their attention."
Participant Media produced Last Call at the Oasis to establish the global water crisis as the central issue facing our world this century, show communities already struggling with its ill-effects and highlight individuals championing revolutionary solutions. Participant facilitated access to the film for students engaged in the project.
Yu will be a Center for Media and Social Impact visiting artist to SOC April 3 when she will teach a master class for SOC MFA students and later hold a public screening of Last Call with Q&A in SOC's new Forman Theater and reception to follow. The event is co-sponsored by the Center for Environmental Filmmaking, with support from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences and in association with the SOC Water Project.
Gaining Momentum
Now in its second semester, the project is attracting even more partners and faculty who want to work with them. Pilar McKay's public communication students are partnering with the Alice Ferguson Foundation to produce PSAs for the Trash Free Potomac River Watershed Initiative. Investigative reporting students in Professor Chuck Lewis' course will also be taking on a water issue this semester. A motion graphics class, taught by Kristian Perry, will develop animations and infographics for Consortium of Universities for the Advancement of Hydrologic Science, Inc. (CUAHSI) that tell a revolutionary story: a re-envisioning of the water cycle as we know it. "The assignments give the students a chance to not only work in a client-vendor relationship with the organization, but to take the extra creative step of articulating important ideas persuasively and concisely." says Perry, whose students worked with RTR in the fall. He looks forward to continuing his work with the Water Project. "It's gratifying to me that some of the students that put the most effort into the project have a chance to have their work presented beyond the classroom. It can become part of a genuine advocacy campaign."

Banks' Foreclosure Pain Persists Even After Settlement
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The five largest mortgage servicers have provided more than $45 billion in gross relief to nearly 550,000 consumers as part of a nationwide settlement over foreclosure violations, settlement monitor Joseph Smith said Thursday.
Still, banks' efforts to provide relief might not be enough to satisfy demands that more needs to be done for borrowers.
Consumer advocates and critics of the settlement would point to the fact that the bulk of the relief came in the form of short sales and forgiveness of second-home loans, which do little to keep borrowers in their homes.
And a recent settlement that abruptly put an end to independent foreclosure reviews promised to borrowers in an earlier enforcement action has raised concerns in Washington and increased calls for more justice related to the foreclosure abuses.
As a quick background, Bank of America (BAC) , JPMorgan Chase (JPM) , Citigroup(C) , Wells Fargo (WFC) and Ally Financial entered into a $26 billion settlement last March with 49 states over alleged foreclosure violations known as "robo-signing."
The settlement required banks to provide at least $20 billion in relief to consumers through a combination of principal forgiveness, loan modifications, refinancing and offer delinquent borrowers alternatives to foreclosure such as short sales and deeds-in-lieu of foreclosure.
Banks only get partial credit for every dollar of relief extended, so the $45 billion provided so far meets only a part of that obligation. However, the monitor recently said Ally Financial has completed its obligation under the settlement.
"I believe we have made progress, particularly as it relates to consumer relief, but I know from my regular conversations with advocates across the nation that the banks and I have much more work to do on behalf of borrowers," Smith said in a statement.
According to the latest report from the settlement monitor, banks conducted short sales totaling $19.5 billion between March 1 and Dec. 31, 2012.
In a short sale, the bank agrees to let the borrower sell the property for an amount less than what is owed on the mortgage. The proceeds are used to settle the debt and the remaining mortgage is forgiven.
Short sales are considered a better alternative to foreclosures as it minimizes cost to the banks while allowing borrowers time to find alternative accommodation.
Yet it has the same effect as a foreclosure in some ways. The borrower still loses his home and his credit score is damaged.
Critics of the settlement also point out that banks would have pursued short sales anyway and should not be given credit for doing so.
Banks also forgave $19 billion worth of principal. But, here again, most of the relief was on second mortgages, which in the event of foreclosure gets lower priority than the primary mortgage.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Jan. 30, 2010) – The U.S. Women's National Team defeated a professional team from Hong Kong in a friendly scrimmage on Jan. 30 as it prepares to meet Evergrande Volleyball Club on Feb. 2 in an exhibition match in Guangzhou.
The Americans won the scrimmage versus Hong Kong 25-11, 25-17, 25-16, 25-6 as both teams agreed to play four sets.
The U.S. opened the first set with an 8-2 lead at the first technical timeout and increased the margin to 16-6 at the second break in cruising to the 25-11 victory. The Americans doubled-up Hong Kong 8-4 at the first technical timeout of the second set and withheld the late charge of the host to win 25-17. After the U.S. reached a 16-7 advantage at the second technical timeout of the third set, it battled Hong Kong through the final 18 points of the third set to win 25-16. Hong Kong was never in the fourth set as the Americans opened with an 8-1 lead and widened the gap to 16-3 at the second technical timeout for a 25-6 victory.
Megan Hodge (Durham, N.C.) and Tracy Stalls (Denver) led the offense for Team USA with 15 points apiece. Hodge tallied 12 kills on 18 attacks with one error to go with three blocks in starting and playing in just the first two sets at outside hitter. She added five digs and seven reception attempts with a 43 positive reception percent. Stalls contributed nine kills on 10 errorless attempts to go with three blocks and three aces while starting all four sets at middle blocker.

Cheryl Weaver (Washington, D.C.) charted eight points with six kills on seven errorless attacks to go with two blocks while starting the first two sets at middle blocker. Ellen Herman (Toledo, Ohio) came off the bench to start the third and fourth sets to compile eight points via six kills, one block and one ace to go with six digs. Angie Pressey (Lake Mary, Calif.), who started the first two sets at outside hitter, tallied one kill, one block, four and seven receptions.
Katie Kimmich (Lakeside, Calif.) and Mekana Barnes (Highlands Ranch, Colo.) scored seven points apiece as they started the final two sets at outside hitter and middle blocker, respectively. Kimmich totaled six kills on 12 errorless attacks to go with an ace. Barnes was credited with four kills on five errorless swings, one block and one ace.
Alisha Glass (Leland, Mich.) and Bryn Kehoe (North Bend, Ohio) shared the setting duties. Glass set Team USA .475 hitting efficiency and 61.0 kill percent as she started the first two sets. She added a kill on her only swing of the match. Kehoe scored three kills on three swings while setting the Americans to a .625 hitting efficiency and 66.7 kill percent on 48 swings while starting the final two sets.
Tama Miyashiro (Kaneohe, Hawaii) was Team USA's libero for the first two sets and registered a team-leading nine digs to go 12 reception attempts as part of a 75 positive reception percent. Jessica Fine (Tarzana, Calif.) added six digs and four reception attempts with a 50 positive percent.
The U.S. Women's National Team out-blocked the team from Hong Kong 12-2 and held an 8-1 advantage in aces. Team USA turned in a 55 percent positive service reception. The American defense limited Hong Kong to a 25 kill percent and .046 hitting efficiency.
Team USA will now focus on its scheduled exhibition match with Evergrande, which is coached by 2008 U.S. Women's Olympic Team Head Coach "Jenny" Lang Ping and includes U.S. Women's National Team players Nicole Davis (Stockton, Calif.) and Christa Harmotto (Aliquippa, Pa.). Davis was the libero for the U.S. Olympic Team that won a silver medal at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing.
The exhibition match is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. local time on Feb. 2 at the new Guangzhou Gymnasium in Guangzhou. The match will be aired on Chinese national television on CCTV, which is available in some United States television markets. The match can also be viewed online at http://sports.cntv.cn.

STIRLING, Scotland - For the second time in as many games the Scottish Men's National Team bested the men from the United States. Thursday's match was hotly contested throughout and saw much improved play from the US but it would not be enough as Scotland walked away with a 3-1 victory.
As the game kicked off there was an obvious increase in the speed and aggressiveness of play from the US as they won a penalty corner in the second minute of the match. However, the Scottish defense came ready to play as well and thwarted any attacks the US could mount. In the early goings both teams found themselves on the wrong side of calls from the officials as penalty corner goals for each side were disallowed. It would be Scotland who struck first, however, when they broke the American press and quickly outletted the ball up the field, scoring on a beautiful deflection goal that got by US goalkeeper Kevin Segeren to give the Scots a 1-0 lead. It was a lead that would stay for the half as the Scots held the one goal advantage going into the break.
Beginning the second half with the same intensity that the first half concluded with, the teams started to get physical as was reflected by the distribution of five penalty cards throughout the half. Unfortunately it would be Scotland who would capitalize on the physical play as they scored two more goals, one off a penalty corner and another off a back stick shot, to give themselves a 3-0 lead as time wound down. Though it offered little solace to the Americans, with two minutes to go they mounted a nice outlet that ended with Christian Linney recording the first international goal of his career. With the 3-1 loss, Coach Nick Conway was disappointed but certainly encouraged by certain aspects of the match.
"Overall we saw a much better performance from our guys with a more solid defensive structure and our ability to outlet the ball," Conway said afterwards. "Both teams were able to create chances today but it was Scotland who was sharper in front of the goal."
Asked about the younger players on the team, Conway was upbeat in his reply. "I'm very pleased that the young kids are continuing to develop and especially pleased with the play of Christian Linney. He scored a lot of goals in our practice scrimmages and scored another today. He's showing an instinct to score and we hope for it to continue developing."
With the quick turnaround for game three on Friday, the US Men look to rebound after two tough losses and get one for the victory column. Keep tabs on the men through Facebook and the USA Field Hockey website and keep rooting for the Red, White and Blue!

French at the 2010 Winter Games
Statements By Members
March 30th, 2009 / 2 p.m.
Monique Guay Rivière-du-Nord, QC
Mr. Speaker, a number of recent incidents involving this government are reinforcing our concerns about the future of the French language in this country. First there were the cuts to international cooperation in five francophone African countries. Then the government's refusal to support the CBC forced the crown corporation to sacrifice some of the high quality services it provides for francophones. And now, before the Vancouver 2010 Winter Games have even begun, the Olympic committee has made a serious blunder at the expense of the Canadian francophone population. There were no francophone artists at an official event to begin the countdown in February 2009.
How is it that in this supposedly bilingual country we have to remind the Canadian Olympic Committee that Rule 24.1 of the Olympic Charter stipulates that, "The official languages of the IOC are French and English"?
The Bloc Québécois is calling on the Vancouver Olympic Committee, and by the same token, we also call on this government, to do whatever it takes to ensure that French is given the respect it deserves.
Manitoba Flood Preparations
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Jim Maloway Elmwood—Transcona, MB
Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the many volunteers who are helping out with sandbagging in various communities and properties in Manitoba and my riding of Elmwood—Transcona.
The anticipated high water levels present challenges to all Manitobans, but especially in the communities along the Red River and other major rivers and streams throughout the province.
While the city of Winnipeg has the protection of the Winnipeg floodway, for which significant upgrading has just been completed, there are still some properties within the city limits that require additional protection.
While at home this weekend, I dropped by one such sandbagging effort behind the historic La Salle Hotel in my riding. The efforts of all the volunteers were obvious, but significant work is still needed to protect against the anticipated flood crest.
While I am on my feet, I would like to offer congratulations to Bill Blaikie, who won a byelection last Tuesday to become the new member of the legislature for Elmwood in Winnipeg. Bill was a member of this House for 29 years and Deputy Speaker in the last Parliament.
On behalf of all members, I would like to wish Bill well in his new career.
Women of Excellence Awards

Ed Holder London West, ON
Mr. Speaker, London, Ontario has produced many notable Canadians over time and the tradition continues.
This year the YMCA of Western Ontario is honouring several remarkable Londoners with Women of Excellence Awards. Each of these women has given of herself for the betterment of others in our London community in specific fields.
They include: Joy Warkentin for education, training and development; Karen Pincombe for arts, culture and heritage; Marlene McGrath for business professions and trades; Jean Wright for community, volunteerism and humanity; Sandra Cooper-Ryder for sport, fitness and recreation; and Dr. Sugantha Ganapathy for health, science and technology. Nicole Seymour was recognized as a young woman of excellence and Joan Francolini was awarded a lifetime achievement award.
These women make a positive difference in the lives of thousands of Londoners every day. To these women, on behalf of all Londoners whose lives they have touched and from the House of Commons, I sincerely thank them and congratulate them on their achievements. I thank them for caring.
Minister of Veterans Affairs Commendation
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Judy Foote Random—Burin—St. George's, NL
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to inform the hon. House of an award received by a remarkable woman in my riding. Joyce Samms of Port aux Basques has been presented with the Minister of Veterans Affairs Commendation award.
Mrs. Samms served in the women's Royal naval service in England during the second world war. She moved with her family to Newfoundland in 1952 and a few years later became a member of the Royal Canadian Legion. She was the only female member at Branch 11 at the time.
Mrs. Samms served in a variety of roles for many years, including president, secretary, chair of the poppy campaign, and honours and awards chair. She is currently membership chair. Mrs. Samms was the first woman to be elected as district commander and 10 years later became the first woman in Canada to be elected provincial president.
Mrs. Samms has received the Meritorious Service Medal and the Palm Leaf, the legion's highest honour. She is a life member of the legion and a recipient of the Queen's Golden Jubilee Medal.
Mr. Speaker, I am honoured to tell you about such an outstanding woman from the riding of Random—Burin—St. George's.
Top Cadet Musician
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Colin Mayes Okanagan—Shuswap, BC
Mr. Speaker, the Army Cadet League of Canada has named the top cadet musician in Canada to be Cadet Master Warrant Officer Blythe Heywood of the 1705 British Columbia Dragoons Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps of Vernon for her accomplishments on the violin and the French horn.
Originally a member of the Enderby Cadets, Heywood later joined the Vernon squadron where she has performed in numerous band competitions. She was 1 out of 1,600 cadet musicians from cadet bands in 70 B.C. communities to join the 50-member group.
Heywood trained at the Vernon army camp for three summers and has spent two years in Quebec playing in the advanced band at the Eastern Region Cadet School of Music. She will be presented the Lieutenant General J.W. Quinn award at a later date. In addition to the trophy, there is a $250 cash award and a $500 award toward her cadet corps' music program.
On behalf of the constituents of Okanagan—Shuswap and my colleagues in the House, I congratulate Cadet Master Warrant Officer Heywood.
Joannie Rochette

2:05 p.m.
Guy André Berthier—Maskinongé, QC
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Quebecker Joannie Rochette, who won the silver medal in the women's singles event at the world figure skating championships in Los Angeles. This is a great achievement by this young woman from Île Dupas, a municipality in the riding of Berthier—Maskinongé.
Her prowess and success are an inspiration and an example. Thank you to her parents, her family, her friends and the local businesses that have always supported and encouraged her in her career.
My Bloc Québécois colleagues join me in congratulating Ms. Rochette on doing Quebec proud on the international sports scene with her determination, her discipline and her great talent.

Deepak Obhrai Calgary East, AB
Mr. Speaker, recently the issue of the treatment of the Dalit people of India was raised in the House. Untouchability has been a social evil for centuries in India. However, since independence, India has seen its leaders make great progress in fighting this evil.
Last week on Parliament Hill, there was a celebration of the 632nd birth anniversary of Shri Guru Ravidas, the religious leader who fought for Dalit rights.
Today, India has taken affirmative action that reserves seats for Dalits in all government institutions, including parliament. A Dalit has occupied the highest office of the president of India. The present chief justice of India is a Dalit. Finally, it is a criminal offence to discriminate against Dalits.
Although great progress has been made worldwide in confronting discrimination, still there is much to be accomplished.
Carson Marcoux
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Jean-Claude D'Amours Madawaska—Restigouche, NB
Mr. Speaker, yesterday I had the honour of participating in a fundraising activity for an Olympic hopeful in my riding. Carson Marcoux, 17 years old, of Balmoral, is attempting to qualify as a member of the national fencing team for the 2012 London Olympic Games.
A resident of a town with a population of approximately 1,800 located in northern New Brunswick, Carson has decided to live with his family in his region while competing around the world.
Carson is also a pianist and devoted to his community. He has proven to everyone that although he lives in a rural area where fencing is not the sport of choice, it is possible to be one of the best.
Carson was one of two young Canadians who participated in the Beijing 2008 Olympic Youth Camp. Madawaska—Restigouche supports he has in himself his Olympic dream and we are proud of the faith you have in yourself.
We thank you to the village of Balmoral, the volunteer firefighters and especially to his family, who is behind him all the way in his search for an Olympic dream.
Marcel Aubut
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Steven Blaney Lévis—Bellechasse, QC
Mr. Speaker, as chair of the Quebec Conservative caucus and on behalf of my colleagues, I would like to congratulate Marcel Aubut on being named president of the Canadian Olympic Committee. He is the first Quebecker to hold that position, and we are very proud of him.
Mr. Aubut, a lawyer and skilled businessman, dedicated much of his time and energy to supporting and developing sport at both professional and amateur levels. Who could forget the extraordinary saga of the Quebec Nordiques, with which he was closely associated? His work and dedication breathed new life into amateur sport and enabled athletes to benefit from the resources they need to succeed.
We believe that he will continue to dedicate himself passionately to athletes. It is therefore my great pleasure today to wish Mr. Aubut the best of luck in his new role as president of the Canadian Olympic Committee.
Carmelita Sideco
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Thomas Mulcair Outremont, QC
Mr. Speaker, I rise in the House to pay a heartfelt personal tribute to a dear friend of many years, Mrs. Carmelita Sideco, or Tita Lita to the community. The wife of Dr. Edgardo Sideco and mother of four exceptional sons, Eric, Ian, Neil and Arne, she will be sadly missed by all of her friends and family, and those of us who have had the privilege to work with her over the years.
The many notices and articles that have been written in both the press of the Philippine community, of which she was such a beloved leader, and in the national media speak of her role as teacher, volunteer, patron of the arts and activist, but that would not in and of itself explain the overflowing crowd at the Annunciation of Our Lady Church who were there to say goodbye.
There was a unique quality about Carmelita. She never got angry no matter how difficult the issue. She always used her skill and experience to bring people together, not to divide. She was a true peacemaker and she will be truly missed.
Salamat po, Tita Lita.
Automotive Industry
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Greg Rickford Kenora, ON
Mr. Speaker, Canada's auto industry directly employs over 150,000 Canadians and another 340,000 indirectly. It is our largest industry within the manufacturing sector. It represents 14% of our manufacturing output and 23% of our manufactured exports. In fact, half a million Canadians and their families depend on the health and viability of this industry and are looking to their leaders to ensure that Canada remains a strong part of the North American automotive industry through these economic times.
That is why it is absolutely shameful the Leader of the Opposition has turned up his nose to auto sector workers by saying, "No voter in B.C. wants to throw money into the auto sector and neither do I". I wonder if he would repeat the same sentiment at a town hall meeting in Ontario. I am sure he has more savvy than that. He has shown time and time again that he is more than willing to flip-flop on the content of his message to suit whatever audience he is speaking to, whether it be in Saanich, St. Catharines or at his home in Harvard.
Jutra Awards
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Roger Pomerleau Drummond, QC
Mr. Speaker, the 11th Jutra awards ceremony, a celebration of Quebec cinema, was held yesterday.
The winners included Borderline, a film by Lyne Charlebois, which won for best production. Benoît Pilon's The Necessities of Life won for best screenplay and film of the year. I would also like to congratulate Isabelle Blais and Natar Ungalaaq, chosen the year's best actors.
I would mention in passing the remarks by Patricio Henriquez, who won the award for best documentary for Under the Hood, a Voyage into the World of Torture. He criticized Ottawa's obscurantism, saying that Quebec culture was threatened and that a sort of war had been declared on it. He said the federal government today opposes everything that Quebec represents as a progressive society.
It is hard to ignore such statements in the present context of this government's attempt to gag cultural workers by making cuts to culture and, now, denying the CBC an advance on funding.
Jutra and Juno Awards
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Marcel Proulx Hull—Aylmer, QC
Mr. Speaker, last evening, the Jutra awards gala celebrated the incredible diversity and boundless talent of our creative craftspeople in Quebec. In Vancouver, music was in the spotlight at the Juno awards. The harvest in both was abundant, celebrating the beauty and diversity of Quebec cinema and Canadian song.
One of the evening's most honoured films, The Necessities of Life, was recognized for its powerful illustration of the cultural differences between the Inuit of Nunavik and the rest of Quebec society. In addition, Luc Picard has delighted Quebeckers by taking the tales of Fred Pellerin to the big screen.
At the other end of the country, it was Nickelback's night, as the rockers from Alberta stole the show at the Juno awards, while Ariane Moffatt took the honours for francophone album of the year.
Congratulations to all the artists honoured yesterday.
Automotive Industry
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Lois Brown Newmarket—Aurora, ON
Mr. Speaker, with the government's announcement today that we are putting further pressure on GM and Chrysler to effectively restructure while providing conditional interim loans and working effectively with our provincial and American counterparts, it is clearer than ever that we are getting the job done for Canada's manufacturing sector.
On January 24 the Guelph Mercury reported that according to the Liberal leader, his party cut the auto critic position because "the goal of the auto critic position had essentially been completed with [the] industry minister's announcement of loans to automakers".
The Liberals fired their auto critic because we are getting the job done. The only remaining question is, how long will it take the Liberal leader to fire his justice, finance, trade, industry, foreign affairs and environment critics?
The Liberal leader is realizing what Canadians know, that strong leadership and decisive vision mean that we are better off with this Prime Minister. Even the Liberal leader cannot deny that we are getting the job done.
Automotive Industry
Oral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Michael Ignatieff Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, President Obama's announcement about the U.S. auto sector leaves Canadians wondering who is defending the Canadian industry.
The minister says he supports the American plan, but where is the coordinated strategy to save the North American industry as a whole? This crisis has been gathering for years.
Why has the government waited for three years, so that Washington can decide the fate of our workers and our industry?

Skip to comments.Obama To Veto If Planned Parenthood Defunded
Posted on 03/07/2011 2:10:24 PM PST by NYer
This is what it comes down to. The great pro-life battle of our generation. De-funding Planned Parenthood.
And the President is taking sides with evil.
[Life News] President Barack Obama would veto the House-approved long-term spending bill for the federal government that contains the Pence Amendment, a measure that would de-fund the Planned Parenthood abortion business.
Because of that provision and other pro-life riders that stop abortion funding globally and in the District of Columbia, the Washington Times indicates "Obama has issued a veto threat on that bill, saying House Republicans' cuts are unacceptable."
"Senate Democrats said the non-spending provisions of the bill — such as restrictions on Planned Parenthood and on Obama administration rules and regulations — will also have to be struck," the Times continues.
Do it~!
shut down the government and see if anyone notices.
Government ordered genocide in America. Who would have thunk it? With this stupid little namby pamby tantrum thrower in the oval office anything (evil) is possible.
Republicans will have to get a spine and learn that it is their fault no matter what, so just do it.
what is the number needed so that it is veto proof?
Government funded abortion is more important than the whole government to Obama.
Go for it GOP and don't lose you nerve or you might lose your political balls in the next election.
Make him shut down the government and then shove it up, up, up der Fuehrer's arse.
Cut Planned Parenthood and let him veto it.
Shut 'er down. It's Obama's doings.
Call his bluff, and if it isn't a bluff, thats ok too.
What's the big deal? The Rats are always telling everyone that your tax dollars aren't funding abortions. this just makes sure of it.
obama can only veto bills, not veto non-bills
"Obama To Veto If Planned Parenthood Defunded"
Doesn't matter. If anything is going to happen we want to happen we have to "damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead", abort the power of the Left.
It's the only way we are going to win, and that is the goal I believe.
(2008) Planned Parenthood annual report:
Annual abortions performed at Planned Parenthood: 305,310
Average cost of abortion: $450 Total income from abortions: $137,389,500
Total health center income: $374,700,000
This means that fully 36.7% of Planned Parenthood health center income comes directly from aborting unborn children.
Congratulations, America, on your "historic" election of President Ubama.
He's angry at his mother, sure his name aint Bates?
No better reason for shutting everything down. This embrace of the death culture is the deadliest threat to our nation and it's past time for our representatives to get serious about it.
Excellent. Hussein will get wet in this pssing contest.
I agree....defund the aclu while you are at it....and npr...and pbs....and all the eviromental wacko groups....boy, this could go on and on...
What was the congressman from Michigan who got the kenyan to promise not to allow federal dollars be spent on abortion? I've purged his name from my memory bank. But I hope he's happy.
No surprise about who side obamma is on. The RATS are against everything that is right, decent and lawful in this country.
You need to make a pic of an abortion clinic and Obama drinking the blood of the dead innocents.
Normal, working, taxpaying, traditional American families would barely notice, but I guarantee the parasite class (ie., the Democrat party "base") would certainly notice. And, of course, the Democrat newsrooms would have a field day trying to convince everybody that a government shutdown matters.
Tred carefully Obama and know that that Catholic vote you got in 2008 will mostly desert you over this one.
Poor little Barry he is getting angry. If you defund this I will veto it. Okay republicans make a massive bill that has loopholes and trickery in it. If the president vetoes the legislation it hereby nullifys every executive order and law he has signed thus limiting his impact on the US economic policy.
The Republicans need to stand up to Obama gain a backbone and say ENOUGH. Sit down and be quiet. The process of government works well when all branches of government work together. Obama you claimed to unite America. Obama you are spreading disunity and hardship and all actuality you are becoming despised as a president and people whom are truly questioning whom you are.
Guess what this would piss off Obama even more. Obama has no love for his adopted country. Opps now people may think I am a birther. So I will probably receive a love letter from someone on FR whom does not like my comment and tells me to stop posting on FR. getting a lot of those lately; spelling, grammar, paragraph formatting and syntax police are out in full force.
Shut the government down. There is no more valiant a cause.
It is stupid and insulting that this is used as an issue on budget. By either side.
Hopefully the public will see through this same old silly fight.
Defund it anyway.
The he11 with him.
Don't forget the TSA.
NPR would have been a much better political option.
It would put all the journalists on edge. They'd be worrying that they might someday have to work for a Fox News or something. They'd self censor as they do now.
His name was Bart Stupak. When the good people of his home district let him know that there was a recall petition in place he retired. dan Benishek defeated the idiot Democrat whom took up his cause.
Unfortunately Bart Stupak has stated at Northern Michigan University he intends to run once again for an elected federal official. The sad reality this POS has a law degree. At anytime Odumbo could nominate him for federal judgeship in the UP of Michigan.
Just thought you would like to know because i had to hear the people whom work in my business talk about him at a staff meeting. I go to work periodically just to check on staff as I recuperate from surgery. I let staff know any further discussion about democrats in the workforce will lead to immediate discharge.
LOL! That is the best thing that could possibly happen for Republicans. Let Obama try to argue that the reason he's forcing a government shutdown is so Planned Parenthood can continue to help out Pimps and Underage Hookers.
It was Bart Stupid-Pact.
The big deal, according to the libs, is that "Republicans want to cut funding for breast cancer screenings and prenatal care" (actual headline from a progressive website). Unless PP has a monopoly on prenatal care and breast cancer screenings that I don't know about, that headline is a slick piece of work. It draws attention away from PP's main business and makes PP sound like your nice friendly community women's hospital. As for low-income women I thought Obama's health-care plan was supposed to make abortion more affordable. Or has The One let them down again?
I have to agree. Even most people that don't care about abortion would find Obama to be an obsessive sicko if he were to do this. Most people now realize that, morality of abortion aside, PP is a corrupt organization. He defends it at his peril
"Kill the children or I kill the budget!"
Obama the puppet
My congested lungs rumbled through the laughter....LOL!
290 in the house and 67 in the Senate.
Can't think of a better issue on which conservatives should take a stand!

Smaller dinner parties, the 950B would be fine. For feeding 50 people the oven isn't what would slow me down, it's the prep If I had someone to make the pies and someone to serve them, I could crank them out in the 950. Antoine says the floor tiles in newer models are superior to the ones we got, my oven was imported years ago. I have no idea how the shape of the oval one would affect cooking, never seen it. Feel free to contact me with any specific questions.
You are blessed that money is no object so getting wood or having someone cut, split and stack it is probably no biggy either but heat up time should be a consideration ?? Bigger ovens eat more wood require more wood to maintain heat AND take longer to heat up to cooking tem 800+ on the floor. My mobile I canget to temp in 1 hr because I am basically heating the dome and the tiles no real mass. My earthstone 90 likes a good 2 hours the FGM 950 !:45+ also The 110 ? no idea?? but solid 2 hrs no matter what they say TXcraig heats up for 4 hours or more sometimes before cooking ! Oh and I have no expreience with the 1350. so its about the look you want and as mentioned bigger is not allways better If you were talking Eaststone vs. forno hands down Earthstone Just my opinion but you have 2 nice ovens come to New Jersey and cook in both ! John
You have spoken with Antione right at Breadstoneovens.com hes the FGM dealer in the USA
Well I also know and have dealt with Francesco over at Marra Forni also ! these too are great people.what are the specs measurements of the Coriglio he offers? They do seem quite nice ovens .I also really like the 1350 Lateral its pretty bi at 37" X53" floor space so you can alsoo do a fire on each side and cook like 4-6 neapolitan in the middle or use one side fire and trhe afar side for calzones or whatever ?
Like nothing you've ever had, and odds are you will never care about roasting again.
How about the FGM 1030 (40+") or the 1200 ? thats a round 47 " inside and a beautiful oven as well. And - you can then do those 150 people parties right ?? Good luck with your decision go with your gut I cant wait to see the build whatever you choose Have you looked at the Stefano Ferraro or Acunto John


text: Men get this common misconception out of your head that women like men with long hair that look like rockers. Let's face it a lot of you guys out there like to play with your womens hair.. but the same goes for us ladies we love a man that has long beautiful hair not only for the look but also for some of the same reasons you guys do. Especially when it's well groomed just like this hot long hairdo for men. What really makes this cut so sexy is the different layers and how it so casually falls.
