As the Dominican theologian Aidan Nichols describes the theology of St. Gregory of Nyssa in his book A Grammar of Consent, St. Gregory of Nyssa's "approach to God discovers transcendence through eros itself--seeing all finite human desire and finite human loving finally purified and satisfied in an endless movement of loving desire towards God."Â From this insight of St. Gregory of Nyssa, we may draw out a "converging and convincing proof" through reason alone, that God exists, and he is both the source and ultimate end of this love.

CORPUS CHRISTI, TX (Catholic Online) - "Desire is the very essence of man," the pantheistic philosopher Baruch Spinoza famously said in his Ethics. "All human activity is prompted by desire," the atheist Bertrand Russell stated in his Nobel Prize lecture.Â
Human desire is one of those universal human experiences upon which the illative sense can be applied to come to a conclusion, based upon reason alone, that there must be a God who is the source of, and ultimately the only satisfaction of, this desire. It sets us up for the possibility of faith in a revealing God.
In exploring the role of desire and how it points to the existence of God, we shall draw from the insights of St. Gregory of Nyssa (ca. 335 - ca. 395) and what we might call the "Nyssenian parts" of Pope Benedict XVI's encyclical Deus Caritas Est, Nos. 3-11.
As humans, we desire, and therefore love, many things, from the most mundane to the most honorable. We say we love red wine, our loyal Pekingnese (whose name is Moo-Shu), or a fine Cuban cigar given to us as a gift by Fr. James, with the same breath we say we love our wife and children. We clearly love things we apprehend as good.Â
But surely these goods, and therefore these loves, are not of the same order? Surely some loves are better than others?
As Pope Benedict XVI observes in his encyclical, Deus Caritas Est, love is a vague term, and includes everything from love of work, to love of family, love of friends, the love between a man and a woman, and even the love of God. Loves are legion.
The Greeks, who understood that there were different kinds of love, used a number of words to distinguish them: storge (love between family members), philia (love between friends), eros (love between a man and a woman), and agape (love between God and man).
Of the various loves known to all men and women, however, "one in particular stands out: love between man and woman, where body and soul are inseparably joined and human beings glimpse an apparently irresistible promise of happiness."Â This love between a man and a woman "would seem to be the very epitome of love; all other kinds of love immediately seem to fade in comparison."Â (Deus Caritas Est, 2)Â
This "epitome of love," as Pope Benedict XVI puts it, is the love the Greeks called eros.
Humans have always held eros in high regard; it is universally considered a great good worthy of great praise. The love between a man and a woman is the subject of poems, of plays, of songs too innumerable to count. All normal men and women have experienced this desire, this eros, and, even if they have not personally experienced it, certainly would hold it to be a great good, a great ideal, something to be desired.
The urge for eros is so strong, is a value so appreciated, that it seems to excuse all other realities, even law. It is a commonplace, a topos, to say that "all is fair in love and war," meaning that love (eros) is so strong as to virtually be its own law, its own justification.Â
Eros may therefore be said to be universally regarded as a great desirable. However, eros is also the kind of love that may be misdirected, even stunted or perverted, and so the eros that is the great desirable is a "disciplined and purified eros," not a "warped and destructive form of it," not an "intoxicated and undisciplined eros," and certainly not one "reduced to pure 'sex.'" (Deus Caritas Est, 4)Â
There is then a huge difference between eros purified and disciplined, and eros impure and undisciplined. Unfortunately, the latter seems to be the eros of the day. But even modernly, eros purified and disciplined is held out to be the ideal except by the most dissipated and the most craven among us, the misogynist, the androginist, the advocate of homosexual love, or the materialist who is convinced that eros is nothing more the a mix of chemicals and pheromones.
The "disciplined and purified eros" is an eros that arises when the human dimensions of both body and spiritual soul are "truly united." It is when body and soul are united in eros that the love between a man and woman attains "its authentic grandeur," and it such grandeur even intimates divine love. (Deus Caritas Est, 5)Â
When eros approaches its purified and disciplined state, it "seeks to become definitive," and it does so by "exclusivity," attaching to "this particular person alone," and by "being 'for ever.'"Â (Deus Caritas Est, 6)Â
Moreover, as it reaches its purified form, eros ceases to be self-regarding and results in a sort of "ongoing exodus out of the closed inward-looking self towards its liberation through self giving."Â Eros thus purified is no longer "self-seeking."Â Rather, eros purified "seeks the good of the beloved," it "becomes renunciation" of self, "and it is ready, and even willing for sacrifice."Â (Deus Caritas Est, 6)
Thus, a purified disciplined eros is faithful, exclusive, self-renouncing, other-regarding, and even sacrificial. And though it "embraces the whole of existence in each of its dimensions, including the dimension of time," it "looks to the eternal."Â
That this is our common experience is quite easy to establish. "Love" and "fidelity" and "sacrifice" and "forever" are commonly found together, in poems, in lyrics, and in our imagination, in our most inner desires and hopes, in the ideals we hold out for human love.Â
This is part of our human experience, and is something shared by all men, irrespective of faith. It is a part of reality, of what is. "That love between man and woman" which is called eros, "is neither planned nor willed" by us; it is something that "somehow imposes itself upon human beings." (Deus Caritas Est, 3)Â
What is this "somehow" that "imposes" love upon mankind? Is there a "someone" behind this "somehow"?
St. Gregory of Nyssa seized on the desire that is reflected in the love called eros, and ran with it to develop a rich philosophical theology. St. Gregory of Nyssa, it might be noted, was married to a woman named Theosebia, but his sister, St. Macrina, and his brother, St. Basil the Great, lived monastic lives. According to Aidan Nichols it was the "combination of awareness of the world, with its own varied loves, and intimate acquaintance with the monastic life, with its unum necessarium, the love of God, that provided the impetus for Gregory's own philosophizing."
As Aidan Nichols describes the Nyssenian theology in his book A Grammar of Consent, St. Gregory of Nyssa's "approach to God discovers transcendence through eros itself--seeing all finite human desire and finite human loving finally purified and satisfied in an endless movement of loving desire towards God."Â From this insight of St. Gregory of Nyssa, we may draw out a "converging and convincing proof" through reason alone, that God exists, and he is both the source and ultimate end of this love.
As Aidan Nichols puts it, from his observation of the world about him, St. Gregory "disengaged the theme of eros," and saw "humankind as desire."Â This suggests that man and his desiring is something recognized as a universal, as the theist St. Gregory, along with the pantheist Spinoza and the atheist Russell whom we quoted at the beginning of this article, all saw humanity as "a living flame of desiring."Â
St. Gregory, however, saw something "behind" desiring that neither Spinoza nor Russell saw because they blinded themselves to the greater reality by failing to use the illative sense in its fullness.Â
What St. Gregory of Nyssa saw was this: the fact that we desire at all means that we are essentially incomplete beings. We are unfinished. If we were self-sufficient, if we were our own good, if we were already finished, we would not have any desire. The reason for this is that desire is nothing less than a yearning for a good which we do not possess.
St. Gregory of Nyssa saw that the fact that we all experience desire, the fact that we are erotic beings, is witness to a reality that we are incomplete and that something within us yearns for and requires someone not ourselves which we need to complement us, to complete us.
"For man is essentially erotic: man is openness, wanting, and thirsting to be filled," is the insight that St. Gregory of Nyssa had in the words of Aidan Nichols. It is this fact where "Gregory finds the point of insertion of the divine into the human."
St. Gregory saw meaning behind this inability of finite, created goods to satisfy human desire, and this included even that epitome of all loves, that love between a man and a woman, eros purifiedÂ
From this inability of even the best human good--the love between a man and a woman at its best, eros purified--to satisfy, St. Gregory saw a signpost, a signpost which pointed "irresistibly towards an infinite satisfaction, namely, God."Â
"The Absolute," which is to say God, was for Gregory of Nyssa "revealed in the simultaneous actuality of our manifold varied loves and our awareness that nothing finite will ever satisfy them."Â Nothing on earth, even that greatest of all loves and desires, the love of a man and woman, completes us, satisfies us.
This, of course, begs the question: what, if anything, will satisfy the desires of mankind when the greatest love it has cannot? Â
Reason did not seem to have an answer, but it certainly raised the question.
For St. Gregory of Nyssa, the answer to that very question suggested some sort of answer, and the answer had to be seized by faith because it went beyond our experience and our reason. The answer to unsatisfied love was a different kind of love, the love which is the source of all loves, even of eros: agape.
What St. Gregory of Nyssa propose is in reality a proof of the existence of God.
Pope Benedict XVI therefore did something very Nyssenian when he authored his encyclical Deus Caritas Est, an encyclical where desire--eros--plays a central role (the word eros is used 34 times in the encyclical) and is tied to agape (which is used 19 times).
In Deus Caritas Est, Pope Benedict XVI suggests that there is a sort of analogical relationship between eros and agape. This is suggested by the very subtitle which introduces the topic of eros and its relationship to agape. Pope Benedict sees that there is both diversity and a unity, diversitas et unitas, between eros and agape, between the epitome of human love and divine love. Â
This language--diversity and unity--is the language of analogy, and so we may say that Pope Benedict XVI is teaching that there is a real analogy, an analogy of proportionality, between eros and agape. This means that there is a likeness between eros and agape, although the unlikeness between eros and agape remains infinitely greater than their likeness.
There is an analogy of proportionality between the chaste and faithful love of a man and a woman in marriage, and the love that God has for mankind, and, in particular, His Church. Human eros, then, is witnesses to, points to, and is an image of Divine agape.
This analogy of love is seized on by the writer of the Songs of Songs, an Old Testament book so beloved by the Church's mystics. The Song of Songs is a dance of two loves: the love of eros (in Hebrew, dodim) and the love of agape (in Hebrew ahabŕ). This analogy of love is central to St. Paul's theology: "Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the Church and gave himself up for her." (Eph. 5:25)
The light of reason alone applied to human desire, in particular to purified eros, allows us to see that purified eros, a created reality, is an image, an analogue, of He who is love, agape, the uncreated Love who, as the medieval Cistercian monk Blessed Isaac of Stella put it in one of his sermons (43.20), is the unfailing and never-ending fount of all love, the fons indeficiens caritatis.
Eros, which Pope Benedict XVI calls "ascending love" and which, in its impure and undisciplined stages, is marked by the desire of possession, of covetousness from which is must be purged, is eventually met by agape, the love of oblation or selflessness which has only the good of the other in mind, and which Pope Benedict XVI calls "descending love."
The sacred writers recognized that there is an inextricable link, an analogical link, between this human, creaturely, and wholly immanent reality--desire as eros--which we know through experience, and the divine, uncreated, and wholly transcendent reality--desire as agape--which we do not know through experience but whose existence we can infer through our illative sense.
Man, who is nothing but a fount of desires, remains unfulfilled, "guttering when fed with the oil of any finite, created satisfaction," as Nichols puts it quaintly, and this points "irresistibly toward an infinite satisfaction, namely God."
And has this God, who reason posits as the only thing that can satisfy our yearning, come to us? Can it be that the "ascending love" of man has met, or can meet, the "descending love" of God?
The answer to reason's question is, yes. But the answer to reason's question is gained not by reason, but by faith. By faith we come to see that the two loves of eros and agape have met in the Word made Flesh, Jesus, who may be said to be the hypostatic union of human purified eros and pure divine agape. Jesus is man's greatest love, and God's greatest love, all united in one person.
The reality of agape, a loved guessed at, hinted at by the inability of even a purified eros to satisfy the desire of mankind, presents itself to us through a most purified human eros in the human nature of Jesus. By placing our faith in Jesus, the God-man who reconciles human "ascending love" with divine "descending love," the lack that seems intrinsic in the most pure of human loves is given its divine plenishment in agape. In Jesus, eros and agape kiss, just like justice and mercy kiss. (Cf. Ps. 85[84]:11) The eros of human nature is lifted up by the grace of agape.
In Christ, the yearning of love's desire is fulfilled.

Try this fountain of youth for your pet
The secret to helping your dog or cat live longer is really a lot easier than you might think, a leading veterinarian says.
Many pet owners use special diets, vitamins and supplements that promise to bring longevity, but your pet's chances of living a long, full life have a lot more to do with what you don't do than what you do, according to Dr. Jan Bellows, a diplomat of the American Veterinary Dental College and the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners.

Many pet parents fail to use products to control disease-carrying insects - such as fleas, mosquitoes and ticks - or fail to keep a pet's teeth clean, which in many cases can cause a pet's premature death from an easily preventable illness, Dr. Bellows says.
"Preventative care can be a lifesaver for most pets," Dr. Bellows states in a media release. "General, specialty and emergency veterinary clinics see cases brought in that could have been easily prevented."
Preventing disease associated with dental problems and insects - as well as making sure a quality diet and regular exercise - are just as important as medicine or even emergency care for helping pets lead long, healthy lives, Dr. Bellows states.
According to Dr. Bellows, who specializes in the treatment of small animals at a clinic in Weston, Florida, the six leading problems that are easily preventable involve dental disease, heartworm and tick-borne disease, obesity, obstructions and vaccinations.
Oral disease and gingivitis can lead to bad breath as well as tooth decay and loss. Also, bacteria from the diseased teeth can spread throughout the bloodstream and damage organs like the heart and kidneys, especially in an older dog. Regular care of a dog's teeth will prevent all kinds of dental disease.Dental disease
Tick-borne diseases
All tick-borne diseases come from a tick attaching itself to a dog and spreading a disease through its saliva. The diseases can cause lameness, lethargy, sickness, and as they advance: neurological problems, kidney disease, and bleeding disorders.By simply applying a monthly flea-and-tick control product and regularly inspecting your dog for ticks, these diseases can be prevented.
Heartworms are spread by mosquitoes. Once a dog is infected, if it is not on heartworm medication, the worms will begin to grow and find their way into the dog's heart. They will multiply and develop, blocking the heart, changing the blood flow and destroying the organ. Treatment is expensive and dangerous, especially if the case is advanced, and some dogs die from it.Prevention of heartworms is simple. Monthly preventive medication stops any heartworms from developing.
Weight woes
The most common culprits are diet and lack of exercise. Low-value dog foods that are high in carbohydrates and grains, table scraps and too many treats help to pack on the pounds. Dogs also are leading more sedentary lifestyles. They need daily exercise for weight maintenance and overall well-being. Many behavioral issues stem from a lack of exercise. Feeding a high-quality dog food coupled with daily walks and exercise appropriate to your dog helps to prevent a myriad or problems like diabetes, joint pain, and stress on the heart and other organs.
Swallowing objects and obstruction
Obstructions occur when a dog has ingested items such as socks, cardboard, towels, clothing and stuffing out of toys. These items become lodged in the dog's intestines, and it quickly becomes an emergency situation requiring surgery. Never leave items lying on the floor and give your dog appropriate chew toys.

Well, Nogueira proved that the Mir fight was an aberration, which I thought it was. He thoroughly dominated Randy Couture, and showed why he is easily the GHOATNNF (greatest heavyweight of all time not named Fedor). I was happy for him to get back on his game.
Demian Maia got detroyed by Nate Marquardt with one devastating punch. I'm pretty sure Wanderlei Silva has Kit Cope training kickboxing at Wand Fight Team, but you wouldn't know it based on that telegraphed kick Maia attempted. Feel bad for him because he's a nice guy, but I gained a lot of respect for Marquardt for pulling that last punch once he realized Maia was out. Not that I don't respect guys who go hard until the ref needs to yank them off their opponent, because I actually love that fighter spirit; but you have to appreciate a guy with the self-control not to take that extra shot. Loved Henderson making that killing blow against the Michael Bisping. Also loved Marquardt not delivering the killing blow to Maia.
Thiago Silva proved once again that people who don't respect Keith Jardine's power always win.
Who didn't love getting to see eight fights, all of them entertaining on one PPV card?

Liberal Party
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Jake Hoeppner Lisgar—Marquette, MB
Mr. Speaker, after the weekend Liberal policy convention we now know how the government develops its policies. It consults empty chairs and empty rooms which pose no difficult questions, resulting in perfect harmony. For the real tough questions Liberals look to the Prime Minister's wife for answers.
A big problem with the Liberal government is that it has placed the wrong ministers in their respective portfolios. For example, the justice minister should be switched to agriculture. Then farmers would be out of prison farming and the real criminals might be behind bars. The heritage minister and the finance minister should reverse their roles so that the CBC could survive the cuts and report to the nation the moment the Liberal government has spent us into bankruptcy. When this happens, they will just look for the minister with the credit cards.
The Liberals swing to the left, they swing to the right and sooner or later they will swing out of sight.
The President Of France
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Mark Assad Gatineau—La Lièvre, QC
Mr. Speaker, anyone who is well informed and honest cannot help but admire French President Jacques Chirac's courage. He acted with conviction and firmness to support the Palestinians' legitimate aspirations.
It is unusual for a head of state to come and take a personal look at a situation like that of the Palestinians. He is convinced that the peace process can succeed if the parties comply with the terms of the Oslo agreement providing for Palestinian self-government on the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
He is asking the Palestinians primarily to resist the temptation of violence, despite the stalling of the peace process and the frustrations and humiliations they must face every day.
Middle East
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Joe Volpe Eglinton—Lawrence, ON
Mr. Speaker, the Middle East peace process is much like a long journey, waiting for that small first step in order to begin. Yet such as step is there for the taking.
This week marks the fifth anniversary of Israeli airman Ron Arad's joining the ranks of soldiers missing in action. He is not alone. There are a host of other MIAs who have been awaiting release since 1982. Their families have been calling for their liberation but to little avail.
It is time that their captors heeded the expressions of concern on their behalf forwarded by the global community and, in particular, by Canada. On a humanitarian basis, their release is long overdue. Moreover, such action would contribute substantially to peace initiatives since the release of MIAs would represent a powerful confidence building measure.
From a social and political perspective the return of MIAs makes sense. Canada should generate a chorus of like minded countries to urge Iran, Syria and others capable of affecting the repatriation of MIAs to act without delay.
Liberal Party
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Nick Discepola Vaudreuil, QC
Mr. Speaker, the delegates at the national Liberal convention held in Ottawa this past weekend have achieved a consensus on a number of important issues.
It should be noted that our government's deficit reduction strategy has received overwhelming endorsement from convention delegates. Diversion tactics such as tax reductions, as attractive as they may be in the short term, would jeopardize the government's fiscal health.
Liberals from all over the country have chosen to support a strategy that will lead to the complete elimination of the deficit by the turn of this century. That is how we will ensure job creation, sustainable social programs and real economic recovery.
Liberal Party
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Chuck Strahl Fraser Valley East, BC
Mr. Speaker, here are the ten most often heard phrases at the Liberal Party convention this weekend.
Policy? What policy? We're here to party.
I can't speak to that resolution. I forgot the Liberal Party script back in my hotel room.
Hello, are you a regular party delegate, or are you a lobbyist?
Let's not offer Quebecers a better Canada. Let's just try to buy their support.
How do you get that boot polish off your tongue?
I know that gagging sound will go away, just keep forcing that distinct society down their throats.
The minister of youth didn't actually do anything wrong. She just made a mistake when she bought a fur coat on her government credit card.
Will that be Chablis or Chardonnay?
Liberals believe that Canadians don't need or deserve tax relief.
And the number one most heard phrase at the Liberal Party convention this weekend was the Minister of Finance repeating: "I want to be Prime Minister. I want to be Prime Minister. Pleeease let me be Prime Minister".
Liberal Party
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Robert Bertrand Pontiac—Gatineau—Labelle, QC
Mr. Speaker, Liberal delegates from across the country met over the weekend to discuss their party's platform in the next election campaign.
They passed resolutions on job creation, youth, child poverty, health, social security, pensions, the environment, safety, aboriginal people, citizenship and immigration, to name but a few.
The federal Liberals have reaffirmed their deep commitment to the values of social solidarity, sharing and tolerance.
As the Prime Minister told the delegates in his speech at the convention, the Liberal Party is a party of the center. The Liberal vision of Canada is one of justice, equality and responsibility. And it is this positive and dynamic vision that we will be proposing to the voters in the next election.
Liberal Party
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Michel Bellehumeur Berthier—Montcalm, QC
Mr. Speaker, in their typically arrogant way, last weekend, the Liberals wrote their own report card on their so-called brilliant performance since the Grits' return to Ottawa.
The Liberals gave themselves a score of 78 per cent, after getting elected on a platform of jobs, jobs, jobs and doing nothing since; after promising in 1993 to abolish the GST and finding nothing better to do than have the Deputy Prime Minister temporarily resign and then apologize for having failed to fulfil their commitment; and after promising to put the government's fiscal house in order but merely cutting funding to the most disadvantaged members of our society and shovelling the deficit in the provinces' backyards.
One year to the day after the Quebec referendum, there is no reason to applaud this government's achievements in this respect. At their convention over the weekend, the Liberals swept aside the embarrassing issue of the constitutional debate, no doubt to make sure they got a passing grade.
In fact, the only 78 per cent score the Liberals deserve today is for the act they put on at their convention.
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Len Taylor The Battlefords—Meadow Lake, SK
Mr. Speaker, in the days prior to the Liberals meeting and convention in Ottawa, the Canadian Council of Catholic Bishops released a report on poverty.
That report is a listing of the dismay felt by Canadians about the level of poverty in this country. Certainly the Liberals should have been dealing with that issue during their convention. Seven hundred thousand people have joined the ranks of the poor since this government took office.
The Canadian Council of Catholic Bishops talked about jobs as being one of the key elements in ensuring we can eliminate poverty. Creating jobs deals with problems within aboriginal communities. Creating jobs deals with matters in our urban environment. Creating jobs helps to ensure a better economy for rural Canadians.
The Canadian Council of Catholic Bishops has sounded an alarm of which the Liberals have to stand and take note. I urge them to pay attention to that. I urge all Canadians to ask for the creation of jobs.
Health Care
Statements By Members
October 28th, 1996 / 2:10 p.m.
Maurizio Bevilacqua York North, ON
Mr. Speaker, our health care system is one of Canada's proudest achievements. Based on the belief that every Canadian has the right to receive the care he or she needs, our health care system is an affirmation of Canada's commitment to human dignity, compassion and collective well-being.
Over the past few months, it has become clear that the Liberal Party is the only party willing to protect this very important component of Canadian society.
The Reform Party has no qualms about supporting user fees and creating a two-tiered health care system, putting the burden of being sick squarely on the shoulders of those most in need.
The Tories want all Canadians to pay up to $2,000 a year for private health insurance in case you suffer the misfortune of becoming ill.
Meanwhile at the 1996 Liberal Party biennial convention this past weekend resolution after resolution was passed upholding the five principles of the Canada Health Act to ensure access to quality health care for all.
When it comes to health care, Canadians know who they can trust.
The Constitution
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
Michel Gauthier Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, I will not comment. The Liberal convention was pretty rough this weekend. I will not go further than that, in order to stay within the rules.
The Prime Minister has spent the past few days applauding his own performance as Prime Minister. He even said that he had done enough for Quebec, as far as his referendum promises were concerned.
My question is for the Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs. How can he explain the Prime Minister's statement about having done enough as far as his referendum commitments are concerned, when the majority of Quebecers are dissatisfied with his job, a majority which includes the leader of the Quebec Liberal Party, the leader of the Conservative Party, and some of those who backed the Prime Minister in his referendum promises and now admit he has not delivered the goods?
The Constitution
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
Stéphane Dion President of the Queen's Privy Council for Canada and Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs
Mr. Speaker, the Government of Canada has, through a resolution of this House, recognized the distinct character of Quebec. It has adopted legislation conferring regional vetoes. Since the throne speech, it has launched a vast program of reform, affecting areas as diverse as mines, forests, social housing, manpower, and social and economic union.
This is a very significant reform, and we are still open to all truly concrete suggestions the opposition or any other political party in Canada might make to us with a view to pursuing our efforts to improve Canadian federation, which is already one of the best there is in the world.
The Constitution
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
Michel Gauthier Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, before the minister starts calling for suggestions from anyone, I have one to make to him: let him just meet the commitments the Prime Minister has made to people. If the government met its commitments, this would already represent huge progress, in everybody's eyes. That is my suggestion to the minister.
The Prime Minister has said that, now the referendum is a thing of the past, it is no longer necessary to always be on the same wavelength, with the leader of the Quebec Liberal Party in particular. How, then, can the minister explain to us what he means in this statement, other than that, now that the promises have had their desired effect-winning-it is no longer important to follow up on them?
The Constitution
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
Stéphane Dion President of the Queen's Privy Council for Canada and Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs
Mr. Speaker, following up is what is important. That is what
Quebecers and other Canadians have done together since this federation was created, one of the best known countries in the world, not only for its quality of life, but also for its values of tolerance and openmindedness.
What absolutely must not be followed up on, is the destructive project represented by the opposition. This is a project which would bring deep divisions, not just between Quebec and Canada, but between Quebecers themselves. Quebecers understand this, and the numbers turning away from this project represented by the opposition are increasing by leaps and bounds.
The Constitution
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
Michel Gauthier Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, I would like to remind the Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs that the circus is over now. He is no longer in the Liberal three-ring circus, but back in front of the House of Commons. People want answers, not dissertations on the meaning of the federation and of Canada and of continuation of the opposition's project. For heaven's sake. Let us have an answer then.
The Prime Minister has once again tried to get the rest of Canada to swallow the idea that the Quebec question can be solved with a spoonful of sugar. Does the Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs realize that the Prime Minister's commitments of this weekend on the question of the distinct society within the Constitution are merely an illusion, an illusion which serves to mask the emptiness of their constitutional position?

Copyright Legislation
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Calgary Centre-North
Jim Prentice Minister of Industry
Mr. Speaker, I note impatience in my hon. friend's voice in his question.
The hon. member knows full well that the copyright bill has been under discussion in this country for a number of years. He also knows full well that our country has signed international treaties going back 10 years and that there are obligations pursuant to those treaties. However, he knows in particular that I am not at liberty to share the particulars of any piece of legislation until such time as it is tabled in the House.
The bill will not be tabled in the House until such time as myself and the Minister of Canadian Heritage, Status of Women and Official Languages are satisfied.
Copyright Legislation
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Charlie Angus Timmins—James Bay, ON
Mr. Speaker, international obligations, that is pretty rich from a government that right now is trying to sabotage the talks in Bali because it might interfere with the pillaging of the tar sands.
What is also rich is that the government tabled the bill this morning. Now, three hours later, he is telling me that he has cold feet. What? Did he just discover Facebook this morning?
This is what happens when due diligence is not done. He has not spoken with the key Canadian stakeholders and he is embarrassing the House if he thinks he can keep dragging this out without meeting with the key innovators, artists groups, consumer advocates and education authorities.
Copyright Legislation
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Calgary Centre-North
Jim Prentice Minister of Industry
Mr. Speaker, I sense from the question that my hon. colleague is confused as to whether he is talking about Bali and the environment or copyright in Ottawa. He seems unclear as to whether a bill has been tabled or not tabled, whether he wants it tabled or does not want it tabled.
When there is some precision to his question I would be delighted to answer it.
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Diane Marleau Sudbury, ON
Mr. Speaker, we know that Karlheinz Schreiber sent numerous letters about his dealings with Brian Mulroney to the Prime Minister and at least three of his ministers. They all had access months ago to the paper trail and did nothing.
The letters confirm that Mr. Schreiber and Mr. Mulroney had dealings on the light armoured vehicle project when Mr. Mulroney was prime minister.
As a result, Mr. Schreiber received $4 million and some of that money flowed back to Brian Mulroney. Does the government think that such a payment is okay?
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Niagara Falls
Rob Nicholson Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada
Mr. Speaker, there is a process in place. A hearing is going on at the ethics committee. In addition, the government has acted very quickly.
When certain allegations were made in an affidavit, the Prime Minister immediately appointed an independent third party, in the person of Professor Johnston, to report back by January 11, and I am sure that individual will do that.
Aboriginal Affairs
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Brian Storseth Westlock—St. Paul, AB
Mr. Speaker, on international human rights day, I am astonished at the actions of the opposition.
Government Bill C-21 seems to finally give aboriginal Canadians the same access to human rights as other Canadians.
At last week's aboriginal affairs committee meeting, opposition members voted for an amendment that would water down the intent of the bill. The Liberal member for Winnipeg South Centre, who continues to try to derail this process, then adjourned the committee early to avoid any more discussion on this important issue.
Would the minister explain to the opposition why all Canadians deserve access to human rights and why the legislation needs to be passed now?
Aboriginal Affairs
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Chilliwack—Fraser Canyon
Chuck Strahl Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development and Federal Interlocutor for Métis and Non-Status Indians
Mr. Speaker, I will speak slowly for the Liberals.
Right now, here is the situation. First nations on reserve are not covered by the Canadian Human Rights Act. They are the only people in Canada who are not included.
We brought in Bill C-21 which would eliminate this discrimination, but now the opposition parties, the Liberals in particular, have gutted the bill so that first nations would still not have any protection. Then they moved to shut down the debate.
The Liberals claim they support the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, but they will not include first nations in our own Human Rights Act.
It is the right thing to do to have them included. Let us give first nations human rights protection and the time to do it is right now.
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Louise Thibault Rimouski-Neigette—Témiscouata—Les Basques, QC
Mr. Speaker, after the Rwanda genocide in 1994, the whole world declared, never again! On the eve of 2008, the government must take the action required to put an end to this murderous conflict in Darfur. The government could increase its interposition force, significantly increase its aid budget for those risking their lives in Sudan to bring peace, and convince China to engage in meaningful dialogue to find a real solution to the conflict.
It could do that. It could take action. But it has not. Why?
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Maxime Bernier Minister of Foreign Affairs
Mr. Speaker, I have said this before in the House. Yes, we are taking action with regard to Darfur. We have provided more than $286 million to help the African Union restore peace to a difficult situation in the world. We have also given $441 million to help the people, providing food, drugs and basic assistance to more than 4.2 million people.

This bill incorporates the amendments required to make security certificates a tool that our officials can use to maintain Canada's safety. These changes were made necessary because of the ruling by the Supreme Court. Bill C-3 needs to be dealt with in a timely fashion.

Our latest installment of Robert's Refinements spotlights the bedroom of ELLE DECOR reader Ellen Thorén, who is currently renting a fully furnished Manhattan apartment while away from her native Sweden. She hoped for ideas on how to make this blank canvas a colorful and personal home for her family. Here, Robert's tips:
1. Replace the curtains with opaque shades and re-hang the art so it's centered.
2. Swap the white coverlet for a graphic black-and-white comforter with a colorful pillow
3. Add a lamp to the second bedside table for symmetry, then add decorative boxes for flair.

Primary design needed: what we really need is wylie to be filled in like he is below. Please feel free to "improve" with outline fonts (shirt will be dark navy. If we can, we'd like white letters with red outlines and red numbers with white outlines)
If we are able, we'd like to design 2 other shirts.. One for the squad company which will keep the exact some wylie, but instead of having "ENGINE 10 SQUAD" it will just be "RES10CUE" with the 10 being bigger of course. The other one will be for the engine company and instead of having the jaws of life, we'd like to have a hose line in his hands and it say "ENG10INE" with the 10 being bigger. (same letter/number design as above if possible)
Goal is to have all 3 shirts, but if the separate company shirts can't be done, the standard station shirt would be just as nice.
Designs can be either posted here, PM'd, or emailed to me at email@example.com.
Again, it is greatly appreciated. We have a membership meeting Dec 5th and I'd like to show them the design then to get them voted on and start getting them printed.
Thank you.

4 Stocks Rising on Big Volume
Major moves in volume can signal unusual activity, such as insider buying or selling -- or buying or selling by "superinvestors."
>>5 Stocks Insiders Are Scooping Up
Unusual volume can also be a major signal that hedge funds and momentum traders are piling into a stock ahead of a catalyst. These types of traders like to get in well before a large spike, so it's always a smart move to monitor unusual volume. That said, remember to combine trend and price action with unusual volume. Put them all together to help you decipher the next big trend for any stock.
With that in mind, let's take a look at several stocks rising on unusual volume today.
>>5 Stocks Setting Up to Break Out
Five Below
Five Below (FIVE) is a rapidly growing specialty value retailer offering a broad range of trend-right, high-quality merchandise targeted at the aspirational teen and pre-teen customer. This stock closed up 4% at $37.34 on Wednesday.
Wednesday's Volume: 6.88 million
Average Volume: 290,049
Volume % Change: 2101%
Shares of FIVE trended up after the company boosted its secondary offering size to 11.3 million shares, priced at $35.65 per share.
From a technical perspective, FIVE is trending higher here and breaking out above some near-term overhead resistance at $36.36 with monster volume. This move is starting to push shares of FIVE within range of triggering another near-term breakout trade. That trade will hit if FIVE manages to take out some more near-term overhead resistance at $37.85 with high volume.
Traders should now look for long-biased trades in FIVE as long as it's trending above today's low of $36, and then once it sustains a move or close above $37.85 with volume that hits near or above 290,049 shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then FIVE will set up to re-test or possibly take out its 52-week high of $40. Any high-volume move above $40 will then push FIVE into new 52-week-high territory and all-time territory, which is bullish technical price action. Some possible upside targets off that breakout are $42 to $45 in the near future.
Arthur J. Gallagher
Arthur J. Gallagher (AJG) and its subsidiaries are engaged in providing insurance brokerage and third-party claims settlement and administration services to entities in the U.S. and abroad. This stock closed up 1.3% at $36.31 on Wednesday.
Wednesday's Volume: 2.33 million
Average Volume: 593,788
Volume % Change: 274%
Shares of AJG trended up after the company reported revenue of $630.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2012, a 14.3% increase over what the firm reported in the same period the previous year.

One of the "must dos" is prepare a page for Flat Stanley. He is a character from a series of children's books. A bulletin board fell on him and now he can mail himself to all kinds of places and slide in to others to solve little mysteries. When you buy a Flat Stanley book you get a Flat Stanley to take on your adventures. I lost mine so I made a new one and he gets a special place in each of my journals.
Another important part of every trip to Washington is visiting the "bee tree" in Naches. This is actually a trumpet vine that has grown up over a utility pole and looks like a tree. It literally buzzes with all the bees. That's why there are bee buttons on the front of the journal. My grandsons and I talk about the bee tree a lot; it is our special place.
Most of these pages are done with watercolor crayons or paints. There are stickers and cutout words from magazines. Pretty simple. I use a glue stick to keep everything in place although for the buttons I used Ultimate Glue and tied them in place on the back with yarn. The writing on the cover is a paint marker. The moleskine is the one with the lavender band and has thicker pages than others. I love them.
I will be sharing more pages from my journal and more about my trip as time goes on. Thank you for visiting and sharing this with me.

How serious is Carpenter issue?Posted Thursday, March 15, 2012, at 8:24 AM
I want to start off by apologizing for the recent hiatus, but we're are about to polish off what is the craziest week of the year for our publication. It's been difficult to find time to sleep some days let alone write my column.
With that said, there has been a lot happen since I last wrote so today I'll buzz through the happenings and share my take.
First, baseball is back! When I get to start digging into box scores and watching games, whether they count or not, is when baseball begins for me. I know it begins at different times for everyone, but Spring Training workouts are when, as a writer, things pick up and I have more to talk about. Regardless of when that time is for you, we survived another winter and can get back to the finer things in life: strike 'em out-throw 'em outs, new coaches, new players and Carpenter beanballs! Well, maybe on that last one. That leads in to item two: Chris Carpenter.
Following one of the best postseason performances in (my) recent memory, Carpenter was bit by the injury bug early for 2012. Slated to take the ball on Opening Day, the big bulldog is now nursing a bulging disc in his neck and is day-to-day.
While we started off 2011 worried about whether he could stay healthy for a season, he pulled through in true ace fashion with a final record that, frankly, wasn't representative of his impressive performance. In October, he not only reminded us how clutch he can be, but he cemented himself in Cardinals history (as if he wasn't there already).
What bothers me about the injury is how little we, or the team, seem to know. Bulging discs can be finicky problems. The most common fix is injury specific exercises. Sometimes a little rest and an injection can fix it, other times it could be surgery. The hope is that Carpenter's answer lies in one of the first two solutions.
As a backup, the team is reportedly readying reliever Lance Lynn for a starting role and he put up good numbers Wednesday in Florida. The move is a big change for him and the team doesn't seem to be comfortable with it either.
I don't think it's a coincidence that the Kyle McClellan rumors are starting up again. The general consensus is that they would prefer to keep Lynn in the bullpen. A trade of some sort might help to keep that possible. Likely they would prefer a guy who can throw in relief or start on occasion if needed. No names have been floated yet, but if it is going to happen we'll have an idea soon I would imagine.
Another possibility is that it might be time to re-visit the Roy Oswalt idea. He's still available and itching to pitch. I wouldn't make any predictions, but if this bulging disc turns out to be a bigger deal they need to get their hands on him now before someone else does. Of course, he has problems of his own, too.
With ongoing back issues, he is a gamble as well. That being said, the Cardinals seem to be a team that likes to gamble this year so maybe they're ready to toss some tokens on a table.
Health is key this year for the Cardinals, but that has already been discussed...and discussed...and discussed. If they can stay healthy, they have a good shot though that theory is already being tested.
Lance Berkman has taken an injection in his knee this week and missed some games. Not much has been said, but it's believed, at least publicly, that he'll be back at the plate soon.
Rafael Furcal dealt with some soreness as well, but is getting back on the field now. Hopefully that is a non-factor.
Carlos Beltran was sick for quite some time and is a little behind schedule, but I wouldn't read anything into that. He's done this a long time and knows the routine. He'll be ready.
I think Furcal and Berkman will be, too.
The big bulldog is the real question mark. Playing through pain is something he's accustomed to, but this isn't like a muscle issue.
The strain a pitcher puts on their body in their approach is immense and when dealing with neck issues can be quite dangerous. At 37, nearing the twilight of his career, I don't think it is worth taking too many chances with for him. Give him the rest he needs and do what needs to be done in the meantime. He showed us in October that he isn't quite finished yet.

Frankly, I still think we messed up big time by not getting Oswalt earlier! I'm not a doctor, but a bulging disc is a serious issue, especially if it is in the neck. After the whole Mark Mulder event that dragged on for years and the same thing with Carp a few years ago because of misdiagnosis and what I still believe to be a pretty poor medical staff the Cards employ I do not trust their evaluation that it is only day-to-day! I frequently communicate with former college pitchers and coaches and they would suggest shutting Carp down for several weeks. Allow the bulge to subside and then allow Carp to pitch in Memphis as his Spring Training. Oswalt's contract may have just went up?!

School district looking into soccer co-op request
Youngsville High School, which doesn't have a soccer program, has students that want to play.
Eisenhower Middle High School appears open to a cooperative agreement that would allow those students to play.
But, according to parents advocating for the co-op, school district administration has said no.
"We are not asking the district for money," parent Kellie Johnson said. "We are determined that we would transport our children to the practices," she added. "We would take all that responsibility on. We are willing to do whatever we need to as a group to make it happen."
Three students spoke on their own behalf in support of the co-op.
Christopher Johnson, a freshman at YHS, said that they "would like to get something started. Everybody seems to be for it."
Alex Johnson, also a freshman, said he is running out of opportunities to play soccer through the YMCA. He spoke to the benefit of the co-op for both schools. "We would both be benefiting from it. We would be providing them more players. We would all be allowed to participate in a sport that could let us participate in college" as a way of paying for their education.
Nathan Morrison, an eighth-grader, said that he has been playing soccer since he was three years old. "(I've) been asked to play football. I never wanted to. I wanted to play soccer."
Long-time Eisenhower coach Mike Decker, who recently stepped down after 14 seasons, spoke in support of the co-op as well.
"I cannot see a downside," he said. "Is it going to make us or break us? No. A few more kids would absolutely help."
Noting that Eisenhower is the smallest school in District 10 that fields a soccer program, Decker added, "(the) number-one thing is it gives kids (is) an opportunity to play, which is all they're looking for. The Eisenhower soccer program has been a team of opportunities. We don't make cuts. I just say, why not let them play?"
Board Vice-president Donna Zariczny asked Decker if additional players could force cuts to be made. "Is there any cut point?"
"I seriously doubt there would be," Decker said.
Board member John Grant asked what has stopped the co-op in the past.
"I think probably, maybe some people at Youngsville were concerned it would affect some other sports there," Decker said.
"That's been the argument," Acting Superintendent Amy Stewart said.
Supervisor of Athletics & Co-Curricular Activities James Miller said that the two schools, with principals coming to agreement, "need to go through an application process" before the co-op possibility is presented to the board and then, for final approval, to the District 10 Committee.
Youngsville Middle/High School Principal Darrell Jaskolka said in an email to the Times Observer on Wednesday, "My concern is not just the football program, but with all of our fall programs. Our student population has declined the last few years and creating another sport will further tax our ability to field teams in the fall."
Director of Curriculum, Instruction and Assessment Gary Weber said on Thursday, "I think right now the financial impact is really based on (student participation) numbers." While he acknowledged that a co-op would not place a direct cost on the district, "if numbers aren't strong to begin with, that leaves numbers in a dire position."
He acknowledged that these specific students have expressed they are not interested in playing football, but he raised a potential future concern if students who might have chosen to play football choose soccer, instead.
To address the potential co-op, Weber explained that administration will form a committee, comprised of all potential stakeholders, to review the situation and determine impact. He also said that a survey will be administered to the students at Youngsville to gauge their interest.
"We recognize Dr. Jaskolka's concerns," Stewart said. "We also recognize the desire of these boys to play soccer. It is important that we get the facts on the table to make an informed decision."

Reminded of Stupid Motorist Law
To the editor:
The recent article we read regarding the ATVs that went through the ice on Lake Colby is nothing new, but no ticket issued?
The couple should have known better with elevated temperatures, and here in Arizona, due to the flooded zones after a heavy monsoon, they get charged for the violation and rescue crews, which is costly – why Arizona now has the Stupid Motorist Law!
Accidents happen, but a little common sense goes a long way! When they are rescuing people who do this, others might need serious rescue due to no fault of them own!
Sometimes a fine and a nice, hefty bill might make them think before doing it again! WHY THEY HAVE THE LAW IN ARIZONA!
We are glad they were rescued, and the crews involved are always at risk, too – God bless them for all they do!

Yesterday, alcohol drinkers outpaced non drinker 3 to 1. (I am happy to be in the minority on this one ; ) You can still vote and discuss this topic.
It is Saturday and gonna be a sizzler here, but I am still planning on brewing. Won't you join me. Come and share what is in your cup today, all day. Check out what everyone else is sipping as well. You can reflect back on your TeaDay if you need to.
Today's topic I am hoping is not too relevent to anyone. Jogrebe has asked how you would react in dire personal financial times. Would you drink less but keep the quality the same...or would you keep up your level of drinking but perhaps sacrifice quality. Or would you start eating and wearing your used leaves to save money? (I added the last option, John is too honorable to ask such a question ) How would you deal with such a problem. Considering gas prices, I might also start stuffing leaves down my tank.
I am looking forward to seeing everyone on TeaDay. Remember, bottoms up, refill, repeat often!

Excellent admenties.Having run this three in a row, and hope to do it again next year. Is there change the medal as now have 3 identical medals. Date of review: August 23, 2014
In short: Cute Woodland RunIn full: This is a great 2 lap course through the woodlands of Burnham Beaches. The course is generally flat with only minor uphills, which are not too difficult. Burnham Beaches is a great area for running and with some great marshaling and support it makes out to be a fine Half Marathon.My only issue would be the very long walk from the car park to the start line (thankfully I made it with plenty of time) and the lack of goodies on the finish line. Apart from a good medal and water there was nothing else to get too excited about.Overall I would recommend this race and look forward to participating next year.Date of review: August 19, 2014
In short: Excellent race - full marks :-)In full: I took 5 minutes off the time I ran here last year so that's obviously influencing my view of the event, but there is nothing bad to say about it as it's all very well organised, has plenty of water stops, is a nice 2-lap route so encourages spectators (there is also a café in the Beeches that is near enough to race HQ), there is a very nice medal, has very supportive and enthusiastic marshals at all junctions and at the finish, and I give full credit to those who were still out on the course after the heavens opened yesterday!One word of warning - the car park is a good mile from race HQ so is fine for your warm-up and cool-down if you have plenty of time ...but some people didn't seem to have read the race brief and had to hurry to the start.Date of review: August 18, 2014
In short: Not as hilly as I remembered :-)In full: Really enjoyed it. Fab marshals, very encouraging. Pretty scenery. As many downhills as ups!!Date of review: August 18, 2014
In short: Enjoyable route, great support, well organised.In full: Nothing too fancy, but did everything well. Nice feeling around the start area, all the facilities you need and no long queues for anything. Very well organised, everything seemed to run like clockwork. Course marshalls were great with loads of encouragement on both laps. I hope to be back next year.Date of review: August 18, 2014
In short: A great day for summer runningIn full: On a great day for summer running this lovely scenic course has plenty of ups and downs. Well-organised and marshalled by Burnham Joggers and, where I was running, a friendly bunch of runners. Never chatted so much on the way round a run.Date of review: August 17, 2014
In short: Fantastic! well organised,scenic race with brilliant marshalls - thank you!In full: Fantastic race with a great atmosphere thanks to enthusiastic marshalls and route on closed scenic roads..yes its hilly but both up and down! Will definitely be back next year as got a good time tooDate of review: August 17, 2014
In short: Some tough hills!In full: Hard race on a very hot day... Was 29c on the day and humid. Well organised and the guy with a hose was a life safer, probably literally :)Great atmostphere at the end, the finish and the pool was great to unwind in. Nice touch.Date of review: April 26, 2013
In short: Spot on & still very goodIn full: It`s a fine event. Course is excellent, parking is good (the walk eases off the legs), the use of the pool is just great. Well done. Date of review: August 28, 2012
In short: Great!Date of review: August 23, 2012

You can pick one up on the used market for as little as $1 million. spend a little extra on paint, a new interior, a cockpit makeover and a maintenance service plan, and your airplane will be hard to distinguish from a brand-new Hawker 900XP selling for $14 million.

Airplanes come apart in midair for a variety of reasons. An errant pilot loses control or flies a model past its design limit, or unrepaired cracks and corrosion cause structure to fail. Fortunately, rigorous pilot training and aircraft maintenance standards make such events few and far between. Even rarer is the case when a design flaw brings down a relatively new airplane.

The Gulfstream GV was the first true long-range business jet. There are many impressive things about it, but perhaps the most salient is this: Last year alone, the value of a used GV shot up 18 percent. In 2002, a new GV sold for $43.2 million. Last year on the used market, that airplane commanded $45.5 million.

"To say nothing, especially when speaking, is half the art of diplomacy. "
Here comes tomorrow's business jets
While an economic recovery sputters in the U.S. and Europe, business jet manufacturers foresee continued growth in such emerging markets as China, Latin America and Russia.
Many of these manufacturers have invested in new airplanes and in major upgrades of current models and are already being rewarded by sales in those emerging markets. The first of these new airplanes—nearly 20 of them—are expected to enter service between now and 2016.
What follows is a capsule look at business jets that have been funded and are in the development pipeline.

We wanted to spread the word about the good work the cookie sale is still doing. Thanks to Troop 8408 (Leaders Dee Owen and Shannon Dorazio) and Troop 8400 (Leaders Jeanne Peebles and Carolyn Hertel) for sharing this inspirational letter.
Dee, Hello,
I've just received a gleeful email from my son in Iraq who now has in his possession mounds of girl scout cookies. He has plans to not only enjoy them himself but to share them throughout his entire battalion. As he will be expressing their gratitude, I'm expressing mine. His dad and I appreciate your troop's tremendous efforts to let our son and other sons and daughters in military service in Iraq know that you have them in your thoughts and prayers. Perhaps nothing says it better than that which satisfies the sweet tooth. I'm so pleased to have met you and to be reminded of how wonderfully sincere the girl scouts are to serving the community. I look forward to the cookie sells every season. Good luck in your endeavors in helping to grow great girl citizens.
Our Sincerest Gratitude,
Marsha and Gill, parents of
CPT Gill Tatman-Tyree of the 224th MI BN
