Government Response to Petitions
Routine Proceedings
March 24th, 2009 / 10 a.m.
Regina—Lumsden—Lake Centre
Tom Lukiwski Parliamentary Secretary to the Leader of the Government in the House of Commons
Mr. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 36(8)(b) I have the honour to table, in both official languages, the government's response to nine petitions.
Nuclear Liability and Compensation Act
Routine Proceedings
10 a.m.
Gordon O'Connor Carleton—Mississippi Mills, ON
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-20, An Act respecting civil liability and compensation for damage in case of a nuclear incident.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed)
Public Accounts
Committees of the House
Routine Proceedings
10 a.m.
Shawn Murphy Charlottetown, PE
Mr. Speaker, I have the honour to present, in both official languages, the following reports of the Standing Committee of Public Accounts: the sixth report on Public Accounts of Canada, 2008; and the seventh report on chapter four of the first nations child and family services program, Indian and Northern Affairs Canada, of the May 2008 report of the Auditor General of Canada.
In accordance with Standing Order 109, the committee requests that the government table a comprehensive response to each of these reports.
Energy Efficiency Act
Routine Proceedings
10 a.m.
Gordon O'Connor Carleton—Mississippi Mills, ON
moved that Bill S-3, An Act to amend the Energy Efficiency Act, be read the first time.
(Motion agreed to and bill read the first time)
Income Trusts
Routine Proceedings
10 a.m.
Paul Szabo Mississauga South, ON
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to present another income trust petition on behalf of Mrs. Jan Pickering of Nova Scotia who remembers that the Prime Minister made a commitment to accountability when he said that the greatest fraud was a promise not kept.
The petitioners remind the Prime Minister that he promised never to tax income trusts but that he broke that promise by imposing a 31.5% tax, which permanently wiped out over $25 billion of the hard-earned retirement savings of over two million Canadians, particularly seniors.
The petitioners, therefore, call upon the Conservative minority government to: first, admit that the decision to tax income trusts was based on flawed methodology and incorrect assumptions; second, apologize to those who were unfairly harmed by this broken promise, particularly seniors; and finally, repeal the punitive 31.5% tax on tax on income trusts.
Canada Post Corporation Act
Routine Proceedings
10:05 a.m.
Merv Tweed Brandon—Souris, MB
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to present four petitions from Ontario and one from Quebec supporting Bill C-458, An Act to amend the Canada Post Corporation Act (library materials).
Fuel Prices
Routine Proceedings
10:05 a.m.
Dan McTeague Pickering—Scarborough East, ON
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to present the following petition signed by hundreds of constituents across Ontario.
In this particular instance, the petition calls upon the Government of Canada to recognize the effect that high fuel prices are having on the economy, particularly as it relates to affordability.
The petitioners ask for the reinstatement of the office of petroleum price information, which was abolished by the government in 2006, as the energy market information service which, like the U.S. Energy Information Agency, would produce weekly reports to all Canadians on energy supply and demand, inventory and storage information.
The petitioners also call upon this Parliament to begin hearings into the energy sector to determine how the government can foster competition and provide transparency to the energy market and to eliminate the monopolistic efficiency-as-defence clause of the Competition Act.
These petitions were collected and signed well before the Suncor-Petro-Canada merger.
Animal Welfare
Routine Proceedings
10:05 a.m.
Joe Comartin Windsor—Tecumseh, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to present a petition with several hundred signatures calling upon the federal government to support a universal declaration on animal welfare.
This declaration is one that is circulating at the international level. Members from my riding and other parts of the country press upon the Government of Canada to seek that declaration and to support it.
Questions Passed as Orders for Return
Routine Proceedings

Regina—Lumsden—Lake Centre

Judy Sgro York West, ON
With respect to religious freedom around the world: (a) will the government recognize that religious persecution is an international crisis affecting many religious groups in the world; (b) will the government develop an automatic array of interventions that may be imposed by Canada against foreign governments, such as Iraq, that may support religious persecution or fail to prevent it; and (c) what steps is the government prepared to take to improve measures for refugees who have suffered religious persecution?

The Speaker
Is that agreed?

Hagi SO #11 Ao Hagi Tebineri Yunomi and Kyusu
Signature Series Limited Edition
Seigan Blue Pinch Teacups and Teapots
EDIT: There are still FOUR Yunomi-s, so a great selection to choose from!
Wow, these are gorgeous! Like uncut sapphires. Stunning to the infinite degree.
Another long awaited SO is Tebineri in Seigan Blue. These are dramatic to say the very least, I think you will agree. Tebineri refers to the way the master artisan pinches a blob of clay versus throwing it on a wheel. The results are always unique and one of a kind.
The sizes run a pretty wide range, but these are NOT Guinomi as is more commonly seen. This is the first time I have actually seen them in actual teacup sizes. The glazing is awesome (running out of superlative adjectives, heh). Hmmm, shimmering like uncut sapphires.
My experience with Tebineri tells me you will love how these feel in hand, so smooth yet textural. You get to know the feel of the cup unlike with a wheeled, smooth cup. Hard to describe until you actually hold one.
Also 5 Tebineri Seigan Blue Kyusu-s. These are not your average looking kyusu, really amazing. Of the dozen or so kyusu I have at my disposal, I have to say my fave is a Tebineri that I simply call da bombe!
These are all numbered Signature Series works (the wood box is hand numbered in Sumi)!!!
Prices are also variable this time around, so to be fair, they are priced individually. Keep in mind, these are very limited and very labor intensive. I have never seen Yunomi in this glaze/form, so I had to look at the few Sansai Tebineri Yunomi I have seen as I researched pricing. Generally the Sansai version has been going for 85-145 USD. Mago and I went back and forth on the pricing of these several times as usual. He has offered a very fair price range for these that I feel is well below resale value and market value as well. I think the prices are extremely reasonable!
And of course, you can combine with other SOs.

Deciphering the telegram
In January 1917 the United States was neutral in the European War that would eventually be called World War I. An intercepted telegram between Germany and Mexico would be the catalyst to change everything. This page four of the telegram was decoded by Edward Bell who worked in the American embassy in London. The British Government asked Bell to verify the contents of the telegram.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (44 votes).
In short: Hankley Halloween Heaven In full: Forget the overpriced Great south run next year!! This should be the race of October if not the year! well organised, value for money, great scenery, fun....fun....fun....the decorations and marshals are a credit to this running club, a great challenging run that is organised by runners. Date of review: October 31, 2011
In short: You have to be freaky to be a member of BVR !In full: This BVR organised event is the most fun you can have running on sand and uphill ! The whole club got involved, young and old, dressed at each turn in attire suitable for the day, absolutely brilliant, great club spirits ! Date of review: October 30, 2011
In short: Brilliant. Top marks to BV runnersIn full: Absolutely superb, with something for everyone. A challenge for the more serious runner, and great fun for the not-so-fast. A tough course, but the costumes and decorations and wonderful scenery made it throroughly enjoyable. The organization was perfect, and it was a joy to see all those delightful children entering into the spirit of the thing in their stunning costumes. The trick or treat bag at the end was generously filled, and the pumpkin medal is terrific! Many thanks to the organizers and marshalls for all their hard work. I'll be back next year.Date of review: October 30, 2011
In short: very friendly and well organised, great atmosphere, a lot of effort with the fancy dress and decorations, great fun way to spend a Sunday morning!Date of review: October 30, 2011
In short: A friendly local trail race on a warm day a challeninging scenic courseIn full: Ran with a friend and really enjoyed the friendly atmosphere. I enjoyed seeing the marshalls who were all in fancy dress and also lots of children in scary costumes handing out sweets and getting into the Halloween theme. An excellent race split into 10K and 10 mile, the latter I will definitely race next year. Good job by Blackwater Valley RunnersDate of review: October 30, 2011
In short: Great route finding all the sand, mud and hills on Hankley common!In full: A very well organised cross country race in great company i shall certainly be back for more of the same next year and will encourage my fellow club members to run next year - that is the ones who are fit enough.Like others have mentioned it would have been nice to have the race details on the medal.I must say how well the course was signed and marshalled especially with all the hard work that must have been put in with the Halloween theme markings.In short well done to everyone who organised the event. Date of review: November 3, 2010
In short: Great course shame about the medals and lack of prizes for £14!In full: A fantastic course, well organised and on a par with the Surrey Slog!It was a shame the medals did not name the event and simply gave the name of the running club that organised the event. At the price, prizes for 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc would have been welcome.Date of review: November 3, 2010
In short: Sorted!In full: Enjoy it. All you would-be Halloween HustlersDate of review: November 3, 2010
In short: Great atmosphere, Great organisation, Great course, Great costumes and signsIn full: A toughish cross country course, not for beginners. The organisers and marshalls really went to town on the Halloween theme which made the course a lot more interesting. I certainly recommend the raceDate of review: November 3, 2010
In short: A unique and enjoyable run. TRY IT - You'll love it !!In full: It's a cold, soggy October morning and you're comfortably tucked up in bed. Why on earth would you drag yourself out of bed, go down to the woods and run up a series of steep sandy hills .. ?! Here's why …1) Scenery - Hankley Common is recognised as one of Southern England's most attractive stretches of countryside and rightly so. The autumn colours make for some sumptuous views – even in overcast conditions.2) The Course - A great mix of terrain and hills keep the run varied and interesting. Furthermore, it's challenging enough for the fanatics yet manageable for the sane.3) Organisation - I found the course to be well marked, well marshaled and well thought out. Nice touch with the Halloween gear too. In short; a unique and very enjoyable run. I would have no hesitation recommending this event to runners of all levels.Date of review: November 3, 2010

Wasn't sure where to put this, came across this on BoDog:
Bet on any team to win the title OTHER than the Lakers. If you lose, you'll get a refund (only to be used on Bodog, however). This seems to be a crazy deal, simply because it seems Vegas is heavily favoring the Lakeshow to win it all.
I have no idea what it means if anything since I pretty much never gamble. Yeah, I know you still have to play the games and all, but does this mean Vegas is in fact heavily favoring the Lakers to win it all? And if so, is Vegas ever this far off?

Frank Gore suffered a fractured hand at Monday morning's practice.The report says Gore will miss "at least a week", but the bone will take four weeks to heal, so he could miss the exhibition season. This isn't an injury that should linger and scare owners in drafts. Gore's history of knee and shoulder problems are bigger long-term concerns, and Gore being fresh for the season could be a positive.

Browsing Myrtle Point, Oregon Planning Documents by Author "Findley, Megan"
Now showing items 1-1 of 1
Coos County multi-jurisdictional natural hazards mitigation plan : report for: Coos County and the cities of Bandon, Coos Bay, Coquille, Lakeside, Myrtle Point, North Bend, and PowersOregon Partnership for Disaster Resilience; LeDuc, Andre; Dillon, Krista; Bruce, Josh; Findley, Megan; Crawford, Adam; Passchier, Gregoor (Coos County (Or.), July , 2010)[more][less]
Abstract: Coos County developed this multi-jurisdictional Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan in an effort to reduce future loss of life and damage to property resulting from natural hazards. This plan was developed with and for the following jurisdictions: Coos County and the cities of Bandon, Coos Bay, Coquille, Lakeside, Myrtle Point, North Bend, and Powers. These are the same jurisdictions that were represented in the 2005 Coos County Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan. It is impossible to predict exactly when natural hazards will occur, or the extent to which they will affect the community. However, with careful planning and collaboration among public agencies, private sector organizations, and citizens within the community, it is possible to minimize the losses that can result from natural hazards. Natural hazard mitigation is defined as a method of permanently reducing or alleviating the losses of life, property, and injuries resulting from natural hazards through long and short-term strategies. Example strategies include policy changes, such as updated ordinances, projects, such as seismic retrofits to critical facilities; and education and outreach to targeted audiences, such as Spanish speaking residents or the elderly. Natural hazard mitigation is the responsibility of individuals, private businesses and industries, state and local governments, and the federal government.

Tibetan / Vajrayana
Vajrayana Buddhism is most closely associated with Tibet and can be characterized by the figure of the siddha, the master whose spiritual realization is so profound that he or she has power over the phenomenal world, and in whom the profundity and vastness of absolute truth is fully and completely manifested. Many of our most well-known authors come from this tradition of Tibetan Buddhism .
[Note: The tags for the various schools are not definitive as many books span multiple traditions, etc. They are meant to use as a starting point for exploring this collection.]

2) I am somewhere between Centrist Right and Nationalism. To EVERY other nation in the world, America is Far Right...even your Democrats are Centrist Right. In Terms of Political Philosophy. You evidently dont understand what the word Communism actually means...like many Americans, you believe anything Left of Centrist Right is Communism....If You bothered to see me in light of my Countries political background, you would see I'm considered positively Right Wing...again, spend more time on the forum and read what I say when crime and punishment, centralized Government, the European Union, or immigration come up.
3) Constitutionally, the States are Soverignties, but to say three hundred years later they have anything like Soverignty is Riddiculous. Your State Governments have been reduced to Shire County Councils pretty much. Your Federal Government has gone WELL beyond its Quota in terms of design brief...the fact your States dont Rule on things like Health Care and Education as Independants are well and truely proof...outside of the Judiciary...how...practically are your States independant? They dont even defend their boarders, and in congress they do not rally to support their own States, but rally behind some Political Parties which are Nationalized...Should it be that way...not according to the Consitution...but wake up to the ACTUAL power your Federal Government illicitly has.
4) Having been stopped by your police, I happen to know that that is NOT true. Your Police are not keepers of the peace, they are searchers of criminals...there is a difference. One is called to conflicts brought to their attention, one hunts for conflicts. If you dont understand what I mean, I can post a video that explains the differences between Americas ideal of Law Enforcements, and the British ideal of keeping the peace.
5) European Union members have Freedom to move around...the issue isnt whether you can cross state lines...it whether anyone can trace your movement. Flow around the Union is monitored with passports. You may come and go as you please...BUT everytime you cross a boarder you will be logged...that means if your on the run, you dont get far. In the US...if your on the run you can move across state boarders, not only freely...but UNCHECKED...that DOESNT happen between True Soverignties. This makes your State Governments Provincial Governments of a Federal Government...thats NOT Constitutional either.
6) You dont want to make that sort of comparison, since your entire bloody force is armed and you dont need to approach any restricted area to have a gun shoved in your face...heavens above, half your citizens are armed, and you have the nerve to talk about machine guns at checkpoints??? Which dont even exist!!! Why would a passport checkpoint need to be armed??? Its about monitoring movement not about restricting movement. Our Police arent even armed...outside of the Ministry of Defence Police who spend most of their time protecting YOUR listening outposts in this country...and the British Transport Police, but you almost never see them. They are usually stationed in ports...I dont know why
7) Oh...so they dont really want him? What is this laziness...or is it not important for them to protect the freedom of GOD-fearing, law abiding citizens from a fugitive??
8)I'm not "Talking bad" im talking Truth...See I'm not a "Yes" man. I dont need to pretend a system or country is perfect before I can admit to having love for it. The irony of it, is that I probably aggree on a lot of negative points you might come up with about England. Do you even know what I think of my own country? Do you know what I think of first past the post Democrasy? Do you know what I think about the British Government? Do not assume that because you cant stand certain truthes about your country, that I would stand and cry, if someone had a legitamate criticism of my country...I have plenty of my own....and even more of Europe...and I REALLY dislike "Federal" systems. I do not believe that Governments should be Multinational...unless in an Imperial Fashion...Oh...I'm all for Empire...but Federations, Unions...Giving Europe to the German Chancellor? I dont think so. Do you?
9) I was commenting on your LACK of laws in certain areas, not the ones you already have. Without order there is chaos...but what is the point in having an Extradition Treaty between States when they dont have boarders...do you understand what Deportation actually means? Its riddiculous to use the word when refering to Provincial Governments run by an overarching Union FIFTY "Soverignties" strong Surely...if he was free to leave Iowa...why isnt he free to go back to Iowa? why does Minnesota have to ask Iowa? Wouldnt it be easier, if States were to have checkpoints to prevent this issue in the first place...would that not be more simple? What do you have to fear in approaching a checkpoint...unless you are already on the run from the law? To let a man be on warrent of arrest for an entire year is outrageous, surely, by anyones standards??? Tell me....if he travels long enough, does the warrent go out of date?
BTW...I do like visiting the US...I even thought of living there...my problem was actually nothing to do with anything but Employment Law...I'm not sure I would ever feel safe in my livlihood in a Union which had virtually no Employment law at all!
Oh you might give the individual freedom...but as for protection from corrupt employers...Your Employment Law basically leaves your workforce completely without any rights period.
I have more freedom in England with my Employment then I would in the US because Businesses can not treat us like slaves. We have rights as a workforce. You cant just sack us because you dont like us...if you make a Contract, you have to stick to it...you cant...decide to prematurely terminate contracts like the UFC do...
WE Believe that individuals have rights. We do not believe in the Corruption of multinational coorperations. WE have that written into Civil Law...and Guess what, American Firms that choose to opporate in this Country, have to abide by these Laws...I work for an American Firm...so I see what they WANT to do sometimes, and CANT...and let me tell you, without that safety net of those Employment laws, I could never feel safe. Since those laws do not exist properly in the United States...I dont know if I could ever live there do you follow?
Ironically...I would prefer a certain level of protection above absolute freedom anyday
I wont go into the missinterpretation of the fact that "Freedom" in your constitution doesnt mean "Freedom to Travel" but "Freedom under GOD" because I'd hate to cause an uproar amoung the heathen...who infact believe that the United States believes in "Freedom of Religion" when it really means Freedom to practise any form of Christianity..in a Dis-established manner...not freedom to practise what you want...For that you have to understand what your forefathers were trying to do, and what model they were trying to oppose....They were horrified by the fall out from the Reformation, which they blamed on having an Established Church...be it Roman or Anglican..thats what they wanted Freedom from, an Established Church...NOT Freedom from Christianity, but Freedom FOR many denominations of Christianity.
but I digress...coz its 3am and I'm sooo knackered...Goodnight...and for the record, I'm not angry at you, nor have I cried out in offence at your response to my original post. I believe in the Freedom and Rights to have a different view point
There are other ways around all the red tape, too. But that is probaly tmi.

Let's not get into the ideas of check points, and the fear of approaching check points. The comment about letting a man be on a warrant... where did you get the idea of them "LETTING" him be on the loose for a year? That they've not arrested him in a year? I have warrants on people that we've not been able to locate in ten years. I've been involved with dozens of cases where people just don't get caught for a period of time. Sometimes, a week, a month, a year, a decade... or longer. No warrants don't go out of date.
States don't have "borders" per se. They have state lines.

Rated 1 out of 5�by Jenjean76 Sized wrong My sonreceived the Westbrook jersey as a gift. He had a Durant jersey size medium so another medium was ordered. When he received it the jersey was noticeably smaller then the Durant jersey. The tag in the collar said medium but the actual tag on the side said small. We sent it back and the same thing happened again. We have now sent back the second jersey and ordered a large hoping it is a medium. There must be a batch sized wrong. January 11, 2015

Update:Statement on the Adoption by the Human Rights Council of a Resolution on the Human Rights Situation in Syria
Ambassador Eileen Chamberlain Donahoe, U.S. Representative to the Human Rights Council, delivered a statement at the Special Session of the Human Rights Council on the Situation in the Syrian Arab Republic on August 22, 2011. Ambassador Donahoe said:
"For the second time this year, we join a special session on the human rights situation in Syria to make clear the international community's grave and growing concerns over the rapidly deteriorating situation there.
"We condemn in the strongest terms, the ongoing slaughter and callous brutality unleashed by the Asad regime against the Syrian people.
"The Syrian government's abuses have been condemned by leaders in the region and from every region of the world. Increasingly, the international community is speaking with one voice to denounce the Syrian regime's horrific violence.
"The condemnation from Syria's neighbors shows that the Asad regime is more isolated than ever.
"Our message to the Syrian Government is clear: We will not turn a blind eye as you deliberately and ruthlessly imprison, torture, and kill your own citizens.
"To the brave people of Syria who are demanding freedom and dignity, we send the message that the world stands by you, and we will not ignore your plight.
"The human rights situation in Syria is extremely grave and deteriorating. The death toll continues to rise. Regime security forces continue to engage in house-to-house raids, mass arrests, and the torture of prisoners. We have heard multiple accounts from human rights groups of the Asad regime's security forces interrogating and abusing detainees in large facilities such as stadiums and factories. There are also credible reports of detainees being tortured to death and of bodies returned to families bearing signs of torture.
"The Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict also reported this week of allegations that children have been tortured by security forces.
"The United States deplores Asad's campaign of ever-increasing brutality and terror against unarmed innocents, which may amount to crimes against humanity. The regime's horrific actions -- the systematic violence, the mass arrests, and the outright murder of civilians -- show its disdain for the will of the Syrian people, and for the calls of the Arab League, the Gulf Cooperation Council, regional leaders and the international community to end the violence immediately.
"Asad's chosen course also defies the clear demands contained in the UN Security Council's Presidential Statement. And the regime's continued assault on civilians flies in the face of a commendable initiative by the Turkish government, which warned the Asad regime that it must halt its attacks on civilians immediately and unconditionally.
"This is not the work of the fictional 'armed gangs' invoked by Asad's propagandists. The regime has made a conscious choice to continue to deploy security forces throughout the country to prevent demonstrations, to attack civilians, and to arrest activists and protesters on a massive scale. The Asad regime has no intention of ceasing its violent attacks against the Syrian people.
"We welcome the recent report of the Syria Fact Finding Mission, called for at this Council's April 29 Special Session. We also welcome the statements made by the Security Council, including the August 3 Presidential Statement. Today we must take firmer actions to halt the ongoing crackdown against the Syrian people. The United States supports the call for an international, transparent, independent and prompt investigation into alleged violations of international human rights law by Syrian authorities. And we will work with our partners so that those responsible for crimes will be held accountable, either through the courts of a democratic Syria or through international processes.
"The Syrian people cannot wait. As President Obama said last week, 'the time has come for President Asad to step aside… We recognize that it will take time for the Syrian people to achieve the justice they deserve. There will be more struggle and sacrifice. It is clear that President Asad believes that he can silence the voices of his people by resorting to the repressive tactics of the past. But he is wrong…It is time for the Syrian people to determine their own destiny, and we will continue to stand firmly on their side'."
You can read a complete transcript of Ambassador Donahoe's statement here.
Linda in Syria writes:
We are demanding freedom allright, from you and your misguided notion to free us. We were quite a peaceful secure country before you started supporting insurgents and extremists in our country. You know what you are doing and you continue to lie. Thanks but no thanks we don't want any interefernce in our country.
Donald M. in Virginia writes:
I think the State Department is on the right track but keep in mind the Leader of Syria is very close to the Saudi King of Arabia, King Abdoulah. I agree with our Diplomatic handling of this country, only what influence will the Saudis have in reference to donations or money going in Syria paying for the Military that is used against its own people. I would think the State Department might want to conduct a review of how much money exactly has the Saudis poured into Syria in the last ten years. Then you might see a different picture. I also agree the people should have human rights and the ability to vote freely. Women especially should have those rights. Freedom of Religon should also be included in Middle Eastern countries once the Dictators are gone!

The majority of nurses first experience death in or before their first year of practice, and the experience can provoke feelings of helplessness, guilt and ongoing distress

Commentary on:
Implications for practice and research
The study draws attention to the issue of patient death and its impact on staff well-being, moral and mental health, calling for these areas to be taken more seriously.
The findings highlight a need for undergraduate death education to focus on end-of-life care.
The study has implications for considering the positive impact death experiences can have on nurses.
There is a need to review resources for managing patient death and to evaluate the impact a patient's death can have on nurses providing end-of-life care, particularly for student nurses and newly qualified staff.
This study focuses on the death of patients in acute care …

Chester Reiten's funeral brings people from around the world
People traveled to Minot from around the country and around the world Tuesday to pay their final respects to a titan of the Magic City.
The funeral of Chester Reiten was held in the afternoon in Ann Nicole Nelson Hall at Old Main, on the campus of Minot State University. Friends, family and many more turned out to talk about a man described as larger-than-life, and tell a few funny stories as well.
North Dakota Gov. Jack Dalrymple said Reiten is a classic American success story, and his place is firmly set in the history of North Dakota. Dalrymple noted Reiten will be remembered for his public service to North Dakota. Reiten served as mayor of Minot for 14 years, worked on flood recovery from the 1969 flood disaster and spent 16 years in the North Dakota Senate, including a time as president pro tempore. Dalrymple served together with Reiten for four of those years in the state Legislature.
"Perhaps more than anything, Chet will be remembered as the creator and master of the largest Scandinavian-American festival in the world," Dalrymple said. "I always thought of Chet as the great ringmaster that I remembered from when I went to the Shrine Circus as a child. The ringmaster was always in the middle, and the ringmaster was always big and had a loud voice."
Dalrymple fondly remembered a past visit in the Capitol when he was sharply corrected by Reiten after mispronouncing "Hstfest."
"Believe me, I never forgot from then on," Dalrymple said to laughter from the crowd.
North Dakota Sen. John Hoeven flew in from Washington, D.C., to attend the funeral, noting he wasn't the only one to earn frequent flyer miles.
"I thought maybe coming from Washington, D.C., I'd win the distance award, but I should have known better," Hoeven said. "People are here from as far away as Norway. And for Chester Reiten, that's to be expected."
Hoeven met Reiten as a child, and said his father, Jack Hoeven, who wasn't easily impressed, had amazing respect and admiration for Reiten. Hoeven said Reiten truly was a titan of the Minot community.
"Chet was larger-than-life. He was a big man with big, bold ideas," Hoeven said. "And he was always doing something for Minot. To me he epitomized Minot, the spirit of Minot."
Hoeven said on Monday he entered a tribute to Reiten into the permanent record of the U.S. Senate, and brought a copy to give to Reiten's wife, Joy. He then read a portion of the tribute, breaking up a little with emotion as he did so.
"Chester Reiten was a great North Dakotan and a great American. He especially loved the city of Minot. I feel privileged to have known Chet all my life, and I'm thankful to have called him a friend," Hoeven said. "He's left an indelible impact on our state and our country."
Rolf Haugen, who represents Minot's sister city in Norway, Skien, also made the long trip to Minot to speak. Haugen called Reiten a true friend of Norway, and mentioned the founder of Hstfest was 100 percent Norwegian by descent.
"But I believe he was 150 percent Norwegian in heart and mind," Haugen said.
He told the story of Reiten visiting Norway to promote the idea of Minot and Skien becoming sister cities, and making a first impression as only he could.
"People were waiting for him, but had not met him before. How would we recognize him, they wondered. Well, as you probably might have guessed, they didn't have to worry about that," Haugen said to laughter from the crowd. "This obvious big guy, coming against them, his hand stretched out, and said, 'Hello, I'm Chester.' And then the connection was established."
Haugen ended his remarks by saying "rest in peace" in Norwegian, in honor of how much Reiten has meant to those in Norway as well as the United States.
One of Reiten's daughters, Kathleen Hruby, told some stories from Reiten's past the family still cherishes to this day, and also of some pearls of wisdom her father imparted over the years.
Hruby said that when she was growing up, being late for something was whenever Reiten was ready, and said her brother David once mentioned their garrulous father didn't have an unexpressed thought in his head. That meant the advice he doled out to his children came freely, and came often.
"If you get stuck in a snowstorm, never leave the car; save money; and if someone challenges you to a game of tic-tac-toe, always be the "X" so you can make the first move. Never fight with your family or your neighbors," Hruby said. "Then there is this pearl: the best gift a father can give his children is to love their mother. And my father practiced what he preached. He loved our mother beyond measure."

Institutional Resources and Handling Complaints
Office of Compliance Assistance
The Office of Compliance Assistance (OCA) is a unit within the Office of the Provost. The activities of OCA focus on federal compliance issues, including conflicts of interest, scientific misconduct, and other issues related to the responsible conduct of research. OCA assists in developing and implementing policies that establish and maintain a climate of integrity at the University
OCA's approach to compliance includes:
- Informing the USU Community about regulations that impact our activities
- Educating administrators, faculty and students about the responsible conduct of research
- Assisting in the implementation of ethics-related policies and procedures
- Investigating and reporting on potential conflicts of interest at USU
The Office of Compliance Assistance is managed by the Federal Compliance Manager at USU. OCA can be reached by calling (435) 797-8305, or e-mailing firstname.lastname@example.com.
Internal Audit Services
Internal Audit Service (IAS)s has the responsibility for reviewing complaints and allegations of a fiscal or related compliance nature. This includes complaints and allegations made under the statutes of the State of Utah and University Policy.
IAS performs these duties through an investigative process designed to address the complaint issues and to provide guidance with internal control issues that may develop as a result of the investigation.
There is no specific venue or format limiting how complaints/concerns must be communicated, but there is a basic need/expectation that the information provided will establish sufficient predication for review.
Complaints/concerns are received from a variety of sources and venues:
- Direct from the complainant as a specific communication (in-person, through letter/email or phone call or established hotlines)
- Referral from colleges and University offices
- Audits or other Internal Audit Services engagements
- Through the news media
The Internal Audit Services hotline (435-755-7118) is a resource for all University faculty and staff to raise issues, seek advice and report concerns related to proper business conduct and ethical dilemmas. This telephone hotline has been designated to receive information about improprieties or other concerns. If calling after hours please leave a voice mail. Internal Audit Services will respond to your concern(s) in a timely and professional manner. The hotline has been designed to ensure anonymity unless the caller provides their name.
Overview of Investigation Process
The first step is generally a preliminary fact finding stage to determine if the complaint presents the predication needed for an investigative review. If the complaint may be more appropriately addressed by another area such as Human Resources for personnel issues, Student Services for student issues, Office of Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity for affirmative action issues, USU Police Department for criminal issues, University Counsel for legal issues, it is referred to the appropriate area.
After the preliminary review, assistance may be requested from the unit head, the University's general counsel, or the University police department. For each investigation, assigned Internal Audit Service's personnel must document their independence from the issues presented.
Fact finding and evidence gathering procedures should be as objective as possible. Employee interviews are conducted as necessary. Evidence gathered should be from sources independent of the unit or subject employee when possible.
At the conclusion of the investigation, a report is issued to appropriate management and, if necessary, to prosecuting officials.
IAS Website
A University Internal Audit Services Website has been developed to provide a resource for University employees. The site contains useful links to other USU ethics-related websites, Control Awareness Training and additional information on reporting concerns. The site address is http://www.usu.edu/intaud.
Internal Audit Services Hotline

Australia Legalizes Traditional Chinese Medicine
The Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) has said that as of July 1, acupuncturists and Chinese herbal medicine practitioners must be registered under the national registration and accreditation scheme with the Chinese Medicine Board of Australia (CMBA).
Five thousand Chinese medicine and acupuncture clinics are reportedly in Australia now. They serve about 2.8 million people every year and 80 percent of the patients are native English speakers.
"Some of the traditional Chinese medicines, such as acupuncture, massage and other treatments can cure a number of diseases that can't be done by western medicine, especially some chronic diseases," claimed an unidentified surgeon from Westmead Hospital in Sydney.
"This initiative by the Australian government not only legalizes Chinese medicine, but also raises the social status of Chinese medical practitioners." Deng Li, Australian correspondent from CRI said. "Chinese medicine now enjoys a high degree of social recognition in Australia."
However some of famous Chinese medicine doctors in Australia are without BA, MA or PhD degrees and complain about the requirements for governmental registration such as a high educational level and English proficiency.

Breadiness tends to happen from overkneading or high protein flour.How long are you kneading your dough?King Arthur tends to be higher protein than most flours.It has been my belief that Ceresota unbleached all purpose was probably similar to the flour used by pizzeria uno in the 1940s.Which kind of King Arthur Flour were you using? AP? bread flour?Have you tried making an all ceresota deep dish?

'Frightening' events are happening
As I watched the news this Feb.9, a report came across stating that the U.S. Navy can't send out another aircraft carrier because of lack of funds. The report must not have been too newsworthy to rattle anyone.
Today the Navy said something to the effect that they had to cut pay for the sailors. From the Army, we hear, equipment is just about worn out, and there is nothing to replace it. Did anyone ever think we would hear such things from our military? We used to have issues but not on such a grand scale.
While watching The Bloomberg Channel for the Asian and Australian stock market reports the comments on the U.S. debt were quite interesting. "With the debt at $16 trillion and rising the U.S. is about to take the whole world economy down."
"The U.S. keeps printing money to keep it afloat, but they haven't seen the big hole at the bottom of the boat." Then lastly, the Pope resigned on Feb. 11.
Some may snicker at this letter, but that is your right. All these things have one thing in common: a "one world government" and a "one world false religion."
Many have never heard of such things, but they are becoming a reality. There was one country standing in the way of this becoming real, and that is the USA. In order for it to fall into line, three things had to happen. The economy had to be busted, the military weakened or destroyed and the U.S. Constitution become circumvented and brought down.
If you open your eyes, you can see this is being done. Many presidents and top politicians have been calling for a one world government for numerous years. This has not just happened recently. In very short order your money will be worthless. That includes gold and silver. Sounds frightening, doesn't it?
What does the Pope have to do with it? When they elect the next Pope and he takes the name Peter or Pius Xlll, he will be the false prophet mentioned in the Book of Revelation, the last book of the Bible. You may start laughing now.
The pope's resignation was not unknown to many people. It was in print about a year ago at this time in a book titled "Petrus Romanus" by Tom Horn. If you care to go online to a site called Prophecy in the News, you can see what they had to say even before the book was published.
Also if you go to the site of St. Malachy, you will be able to read all about it. I am sure in the coming days you will hear a lot more about this.
What all this means is the anti-christ or world ruler controlled by satan will be making his entrance and solve all the world problems. The false prophet will help bring him in and show all kinds of miracles. (For Catholics swearing at me, your own theologians agree on where the false prophet will come from.) The only way to hold a job or buy anything will be to take the mark (666) of the anti-christ on the right hand or forehead. Once you do this, you condemn yourself to hell. How to avoid this is to put your trust in Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior. Admit you are a sinner. Believe that Jesus died for your sins and rose again. Call on Him to save you and take over your life. There is only one way to heaven, and that is through Jesus Christ.
It is about time for TRUE Christians and Pastors to take a stand for Christ. Take a stand now, or cower before Christ when you stand before Him. The Bible is truth even though many mock it and have tried to destroy it. The time of "Jacob's troubles" as it is known for the last 7 years before Christ's 1,000-year reign on earth won't start immediately when the new Pope is elected. We are not supposed to give a time or date, but the signs of the times are to tell us that the time is near.
There are many other signs as I write this. Another one to watch is Israel. If you want to know more, find yourself a good study Bible and read it.
Read the Gospel of Matthew Chapter 24, the Book of Revelation, the Book of Daniel and lastly read the short Book of Ephesians.

Going through the sample teas I got yesterday, I decided to try the "wuyi mountain oolong".
I'm not really sure I like it, but maybe I'm messing up on the brewing. I brewed it up eastern style (like I've been doing with most of my teas lately), and it's a much heavier taste than i've gotten used to with oolongs so far.
the liquor is a very dark brown (for only 30seconds steep), and the aroma is very woodsy. My wife thinks it smells vaguely of chocolate, but I'm getting more of an almost tobacco note from it, like walking into the big humidor room full of cigars at the local tobacco shop. The taste is very heavy as I said, putting me in mind of holding an unlit cigar in my mouth, but with a kind of tree bark flavor as well.
Is this normal? the tea guides I have at the moment don't talk much about wu yi oolongs.

A Little Glow in the Dark - the Balancing Act/
Anyone who knows me, knows I'm always open to meaningful collaborations. Primarily as a photographer of course, but also, in other ways, in projects I simply believe in. For example, for BURN Magazine I designed and built the website, and collaborate closely with David Alan Harvey all the time. I speak to him almost daily as a creative consultant for anything that comes up. We do cool things together. And he's my mentor. Plus, most importantly, we've become great friends in the process. I don't think it's farfetched to say that both David and I are having a noticeable effect on each others' lives, and support each other's careers with great faith. ---
Meet Luc:
Luc and I, being business partners and friends for over eleven years now, know what it means to collaborate intensely. We've proven ourselves over and over to each other for over a decade. We work together in the web design company we founded. We know that we can depend on each other, and we know what the other is made of. Maybe most importantly: we can stand each other's presence for 16+ hours a day :-)
The Story
About a year ago, Luc started talking about a new art project he was shooting and writing, called "A Little Glow in the Dark".
In "A Little Glow in the Dark", Luc tells a story about life lines. He believes that every human being is born naked and slowly builds up what are about 200 meaningful connections with others throughout his life. Everyone has a personal yarn ball that can only unwind, never to be wound up again... thick or thin, short or long, you don't know when it will be over or what you leave behind. And as everyone unwinds, we all become entangled, literally strung together, connected in one way or the other.
In a way, "A Little Glow in the Dark" is a story about relationships. A story about mutual respect. A story about being intimately connected during this singular and spectacular journey we call life. A story about choices and dreams. And a story about what we leave behind when our yarn is unwound... will it all have been worth it?
To make this happen, Luc went to South Africa and re-enacted "life" for seven intense weeks, the decor being the Nyanga Township, several miles of white knitting yarn, and 200 local township kids. He built up meaningful relationships and created art together with them... and he documented the process along the way.
The Collaboration
He came back and showed me the story, his intentions, his aspirations. He showed me the work he had done. I said I'd love to be a part of shaping and bringing this story to life. And given our history together we both knew this could be done.
So I'm joining forces with him yet again... To design and create two books with his work. And for some reason, I know the books are gonna be great. I just feel it in my guts. I'm confident the concept is strong and I feel the story needs to be told. I've seen the quality and sheer amount of visuals that he has created.
The Balancing Act
Of course, my own photography stays on track. For those who've been following, new chapters on Dislocate are being made as we speak, and another deeply moving trip for Heavens is being planned for the fall... Yakuza of course has the solo exhibit in spring 2013, which I'm sketching now, and also Sugar might even have a little surprise in store... more on all this soon.
Over the years I've come to learn that the "natural" rhythm of every single project I'm doing (and every single project that I'm involved in) always seems to be totally unique. for me, the art is to be able to not only find and respect those rhythms, but also to balance them all in the best possible way in the rest of my life, mainly trying not to "urge overkill". In a way, to find projects that naturally fit into my life, as opposed to trying to press(ure) projects into my life, let alone trying to press my life into any project. There are so many wonderful and interesting things to do in a lifetime.
I'm really glad I can balance between Dislocate, A Little Glow in the Dark, BURN Magazine, Yakuza, Heavens, and Sugar. And along the way, in turn, each will get center stage, and hopefully, every time one is finished, another will take over or a new thing will simply appear. In a way I feel that working at this kind of finding and balancing, is key.
Oh, and also: always be prepared to leave behind interesting things that don't work out. Hmmm. Might be interesting to write something about this too...
Stay tuned for more. Really. I have a feeling that Yakuza was just the beginning.
Question: how do you all manage the balancing act of everything interesting going on in your life? Do you let a lot of outside pressure in? What would you define as outside pressure and what not? Would, or should, income and security have a big impact on choices?

Asset test for food stamps goes into effect Tuesday
The asset test for food stamps goes into effect Tuesday.
State officials say the new limits will save public money and prevent fraud. Critics say the test will disqualify thousands of low income families from getting the help they need.
About 1.8 million Pennsylvanians currently receive food stamps. That's one in seven people in the state.
Nina Serrano of Allentown is one them.
She recently suffered a stroke and relies on her monthly allotment to help feed her five children.
"I'm concerned. I'm very concerned," she said.
Starting Tuesday, food stamp recipients will have to pass a test to prove they don't have significant personal assets in order to qualify for benefits.
"I think it's outrageous. They should consider not only their income but what other helps they're getting," she said.
Here's how the asset test works: for those participants over the age of 60 and/or disabled, you can't have more than $9,000 in assets.
If you are under the age of 60, you can't not have assets worth more than $5,500.
The rules pertain to cash, stocks, and bonds but not to pension plans, retirement accounts, home values or life insurance.
Kathryn Hoffman processes food stamp applications.
"They're going to count a second car. It can't be worth more than $4,200. If you live in the boonies in Pennsylvania and need 2 cars to keep your jobs and if your car is worth $4200 you would have to not have that car to be eligible for food stamps," she said.
Nina is concerned the asset test will disqualify her from the getting the food her family needs.
"I pay my own rent. I pay bills all my social security goes towards that. Whatever I have left for food stamps goes towards food," said Serrano.
The new rules for participants start Tuesday, although it'll be six months before the department knows how many will lose food stamps.

Jeremy Renner Gossip
Jeremy Renner gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Jason Bourne < N.W.A.
O. Duran /FAMEFLYNET PICTURES
It was announced last week that the next installment of the Bourne franchise featuring Jeremy Renner has been pushed back by a year. The movie was originally supposed to be released August 2015. We now expect it July 2016. And in its place…? Straight Outta Compton! Ummm.. HELL YES. Full Story
Jeremy Renner's juice
Over the last few years—2012, most notably—Jeremy Renner has risen from a That Guy character actor to an almost-bankable movie star. After a string of high-profile blockbusters, he's been lying low, returning to the character roles that made his name in the first place in movies like The Immigrant and American Hustle. Full Story
Avengers pushing strollers
Robert Downey Jr and Jeremy Renner are in Nashville with their kids. On Monday they all went to the Nashville Zoo. Here are Iron Man and Hawkeye pushing strollers around. For RDJ it's his son Exton and for Jeremy Renner, it's daughter Ava Berlin. His girlfriend Sonni Pacheco was also there. Full Story
Avengers & the Real Superhero
Gareth Cattermole/ David M. Benett/ Getty
There was a party at the Battersea Power Station last night in London. Since The Avengers sequel is now shooting there, two members of the world's defenders showed up to celebrate. Here are Jeremy Renner and Chris Evans, Hawkeye and Captain America, at the event…because they're the two single dudes in the group, right? Sort of. Full Story
Blonde Obsession
Sarah's probably mad at me that I called this article because I'm sure there are all kinds of nerdy details in these photos from the Aosta set of Avengers: Age Of Ultron that she could be pointing out but …this post isn't about comic book movies. Joss Whedon is there, of course, because he did the best job of the first movie but also Jeremy Renner's Hawkeye and Elisabeth Olsen as the Scarlet Witch. Full Story
What about Hawkeye?
Wenn, FameFlynet
Every time there's a Marvel movie coming out, they always trot out a different character or characters from the franchise to make it all happy family. I feel like Jeremy Renner shows up a lot for the others - Iron Man, Thor, Cap... But what about Hawkeye? Hawkeye is probably the weakest one, right? There was some speculation that Renner wasn't happy about Hawkeye's role in the Avengers. Full Story
Jeremy Renner's forgotten hustle
Wenn, Kevork Djansezian/ Getty
Jeremy Renner was at the SAG Awards, nominated for best ensemble along with the rest of the cast for American Hustle. Let's take a moment to celebrate a victory over his Shiny Suit Problem—he looked great in a non-shiny pewter tux (so great that Rita Moreno hit on him during her lifetime achievement speech). Full Story
Hustling without Jennifer Lawrence
Frederick M. Brown/ Kevin Winter/ Getty
American Hustle screened last night. Jennifer Lawrence was not there in person...but they felt her presence. What great timing. Or, perhaps they strategically chose the date of the New York Film Critics Circle's announcement of their winners to make their premiere. The NYFCC named American Hustle and NOT 12 Years A Slave as Best Picture giving the Oscar race a major shakeup. Full Story
Jeremy Renner's Movie Star Mulligan
Remember how last year Jeremy Renner was everywhere, trying to be a movie star, and that the centerpiece of his campaign was a Bourne movie that didn't star Jason Bourne? Well, the strategy kinda sorta worked. The movie, The Bourne Legacy (aka the non-Bourne Bourne), did well enough Full Story
The Thor 2 premiere was a sausage fest
Lainey was hoping that RDJ would show in support of Thor: The Dark World at its LA premiere—not unreasonable, given he supported Captain America back in 2011—but Marvel typically only hooks one franchise outlier per premiere; they don't clog their red carpets. So when Jeremy Renner showed up in my photo agency feed, I laughed out loud. Full Story
Renner no ring
Jeremy Renner was wearing a ring last week at the Hollywood Film Awards. Click here for a refresher. I reported at the time that I'd received an anonymous tip that I couldn't confirm with a secondary source about how he'd supposedly married Sonni Pacheco, something to do with an expiring visa. Full Story

I started this website on the day of the show in Miami - I have been planning to do something along these lines for quite some time, but the fact that I was going to the show spurred me to action. I was hoping Sir Paul would show some interest.
With some encouragement and "a little help from my friends" we created the website and got it up on the day of the show.
I handed of my flyers to Heather Mccartney. It felt like fate. I flew to Miami from Chicago just to try to get the flyer to Paul or Heather. Mission accomplished within my first hour.
Just for extra good luck I asked a cool looking guy in the 1st row to throw a flyer up on stage, the guy turned to me and told me he was blind - I told him to go for it and he did.
I learned today that I share a common goal with Paul McCartney. He is involved in a similar type of project - "Music Lives". http://www.musiclives.com He partnered with Fidelity and is focused on raising money to keep music in our schools.
I am hoping that perhaps our foundations could work together - join forces for the greater good.
Please feel free to post your feedback with ways we could improve our website . Contact us if you are interested in volunteering. Maybe we can put a great band together that sings Paul's songs. Im hopeful! http://www.katrinamusicfund.com
