You want to know what is the best place to live. With the Life Quality Index, or LQI, we make it a lot easier to decide which place is better to live.
The LQI is calculated by combining all our data on transportation, safety, health, affordability, entertainment, demographics, leisure and other essentials for everyday life. All our data comes from very reliable sources, like the MTA, NYPD, Google, Socrata, Foursquare and the U.S. Census to offer you the best information to find the right place to live.
You want to be free to go wherever you want, when you want. So in our LQI we use all the available data on public transport, taxi services, parking places and the distance to the city center or the next borough when calculating the livability of a place.
Life is all about the small things, so if you have everything you need nearby, then that is a great plus! When we calculate the Daily Life for the LQI, we take everything into account. Ranging from the distance to the nearest convenience stores and places of worship to Wi-Fi Hotspots and financial services.
You want to feel safe in your new home, so in the LQI you will be able to find all our data on crime levels and the nearest police and fire stations for that particular place.
Health is important to us all. In the LQI we include everything related to your well-being: the proximity to health and medical facilities, but also pollution levels, the proximity you live to busy truck routes or factories, and even the number of noise complaints.
When you have time off, you want to relax and have fun. So the closer to sport facilities, beauty salons and spas, running tracks and interesting places, the better.
Let's face it, what would life be without restaurants, bars, cafes, museums and other entertainment venues? That's why we include it in our LQI.
We use data on demographics to calculate our Life Quality Index. We all want to feel welcome in our community and at home in our neighborhood. Things like average income, education levels, and poverty index are all taken into account to create the LQI.
Place I Live is a useful tool for people to find needed information about neighborhoods at their finger tips. The information is provided through Life Quality Index ratings and maps with street view, including data about safety, transportation and more.
If you need to find out more about Butler Place you can do that just with a glance at this portion of the map. You can view what kind of attractions are near the street, whether there are restaurants, bars found on Butler Place.

Things heated up on The Tester 2 during last week's episode. Tensions flared, the word douchebag was thrown about more than once, and a team that in my opinion did not deserve to win the big challenge walked away with the grand prize. Can it get any worse?

It is well known that the geckos can cling to almost any surface using highly dense micro/nano fibrils found on the feet that rely on Van Der Waals forces to adhere. A few experimental and theoretical approaches have been taken to understand the adhesion mechanism of gecko feet. This work explains the building procedure of custom experimental setup to test the adhesion force over a temperature range and extends its application in space environment, potentially unsafe working condition. This study demonstrates that these adhesive capable of switching adhesive properties not only at room environment but also over a temperature range …

Pluses, minuses for Romney's convention
The Republican convention propelled Mitt Romney into the fall campaign on a high note, thanks to his well-received acceptance speech, an appealing cast of future party leaders and a relentless drumbeat of criticism of President Barack Obama's record and leadership. Yet the proceedings also were clouded by troubling images of Hurricane Isaac and a bizarre performance by actor Clint Eastwood that left many viewers scratching their heads.
While the convention presented a show of party unity that once seemed distant, there still were questions about how the party would tackle issues like Medicare and spending cuts.
The convention also didn't offer the game-changing shift in momentum many activists had hoped for to reverse pre-convention polls showing Romney trailing Obama narrowly in several battleground states. And the focus on next week's Democratic gathering means Romney's own convention boost is likely to be short-lived.
Republicans had a lot riding on the outcome of the Tampa conclave, which began a day late amid concerns Isaac would make a direct hit there. The nationally televised proceedings gave Romney and other Republicans their last opportunity to make an unfiltered pitch to millions of voters just now tuning in to the presidential contest.
Romney adviser Eric Fehrnstrom said the convention had delivered what it promised: a clear contrast between Romney's vision and Obama's record.
"What Americans have seen over the last few days is a party and a Republican ticket absolutely committed to addressing the job crisis. You won't hear it from the Democrats in Charlotte next week," Fehrnstrom said. "People have seen a diverse group of individuals who believe very deeply in the American free enterprise system. It's very different than the negative characterization the Democrats are trying to paint of this convention."
In many ways the convention succeeded.
Romney, whose image has been battered by a barrage of Obama campaign ads depicting him as a corporate raider and plutocrat, delivered a heartfelt acceptance speech that mixed biography with moments of emotion. The former Massachusetts governor teared up when speaking of his late parents and reminiscing about his five sons growing up.
Romney also made a passionate appeal to voters who once supported Obama but are now disillusioned, acknowledging the excitement they'd felt four years ago for Obama's candidacy but telling them it's safe to switch sides now.
"The president hasn't disappointed you because he wanted to. The president has disappointed America because he hasn't led America in the right direction," Romney said.
But the speech lacked many memorable phrases or laugh lines, and opened only the narrowest new window into how Romney would govern if elected president. He promised to create 12 million new jobs but offered little new detail into how he would do so, and he resisted entreaties to get more specific about the spending cuts he'd make to bring the nation's debt and deficits under control.
The convention did help refresh the Republican brand with a diverse group of prime-time speakers who belied the party's image as a largely older, white and male party out of step with the nation's changing demographics.
Speakers including former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and New Mexico Gov. Susanna Martinez both had star-making turns, while the high-profile presence of 42-year old vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan and 41-year old Florida Sen. Marco Rubio signaled an impending generational shift for the GOP.
Many Republican activists saw the lineup as relief after comments about rape and abortion by Missouri Republican Senate candidate Todd Akin overshadowed the run-up to the convention. Romney and other party leaders repudiated Akin for suggesting victims of "legitimate" rape could physically thwart pregnancy, but the dustup over Akin's remarks caused headaches for GOP strategists hoping to close a large gender gap among women voters.
The convention speakers "put a really good reinvigoration into what the Republican Party is all about," GOP strategist John Feehery said. "It's not about the Todd Akins of the world, it's about a bigger, deeper bench and more varied experiences."
Obama campaign senior advisor David Axelrod said voters tuned in to the GOP convention hoping to hear "practical solutions to the challenges we face. What they got instead were some snarky lines about the president, some gauzy reminiscences of the past and some buzzwords for the base."
Some of the most highly anticipated speeches fell short.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's keynote address Tuesday was called a flop by many critics who saw it as an overt play for personal publicity at the expense of promoting Romney. And while Ryan's well-delivered speech drew raves from many party activists, it contained several factual inaccuracies that threatened to contradict the Wisconsin congressman's image as a self-professed truth teller.
Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz dubbed the convention an "infomercial for their candidates for 2016" that had little to do with a Romney presidency.
Then there's the matter of Eastwood, the 82-year old actor and director who addressed the convention before Romney. Eastwood's rambling, imaginary interview of Obama, with a chair intended as a stand-in for the president, competed for attention with Romney's own speech.
Romney visited New Orleans Friday to investigate hurricane damage - a hastily added event which helped him reclaim some visibility amid the Eastwood flap. But the Obama campaign was only too happy to keep the issue alive with a reaction on Twitter - a photo of Obama in a chair at the White House and a caption that read, "This seat's taken."
Romney's wife, Ann, offered a diplomatic response when asked if Eastwood's monologue was a mistake.
"He's a unique guy and he did a unique thing last night," she told "CBS This Morning."

SADDLE RIVER, N.J. (CBSNewYork) – A New Jersey town wants to get tough on excessive dog barking and a new proposal could even land a noisy pup's owner in jail.
The proposed ordinance in Saddle River would prohibit loud, continuous barking for over 20 minutes during the day, from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.
It law would get even stricter at night, with penalties kicking in for barking lasting more than 15 minutes from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m.
Saddle River officials say the nonstop barking cuts into the "comfort or repose of anyone in the vicinity."
Dog owners who break the new rules could face fines ranging between $100 and $1,000, but owners could also receive a sentence of community service or even prison time.
The judge in each case would reportedly make the ultimate decision on the penalty.
A public hearing and vote are scheduled in Saddle River on March 18.
This will never be enforced on inner city thugs
LOL What thugs do you think live in Saddle River?
If you have to tell a neighbor that his barking animal is a problem…. then that person is not a neighbor at all… just someone who lives there.
And to some of you…. You need to stop putting the value of a dog, higher than a humans. It is not ok to feed a dog and starve a person….. and that is what many of you would do if you had to make the choice…… " If I were the devil, I would convince people that their dogs life is more valuable than a persons"….. Paul Harvey 1964
Good ordinance. Nothing worse than to have to lay awake at night and listen to some neighbors stupid dog yelp and bark all night. Put the neighbor and dog both in jail.
Government overreach… nawww, never happen.
Cities are extremely noisy places always. Nobody that chooses to live in one is entitled to absolute peace and quiet and no court decision will change that ever. From traffic residuals, garbage pick up, airport and seaport activity to sidewalk yelling and cussing. Some people are simply chronic complainers. Go live in the desert, mountains or countryside for the serene silent life you'll never get in any city…
My mom lives in a town where I think ownership of at least 5 dogs is mandatory
Look, I am a lifetime god owner. We have always had dogs in our home. Anyone that allows their dog to annoy their neighbors is not a good owner.Also, they are not good owners to let their dogs bark and yelp endlessly. Fine them and if that doesn't work remove the animal from the home.
damn straight. nothing worse than an asshat dog owner who won;t respect others rights.
Had a bad neighbor that would not manage their dog. After asking nicely and seeing no change, I took a box of rat poison, emptied it out, and just left the empty box near the owners back door. They got the message and no more problems!
So you're a dog killer. Yeah, that's MUCH better than the horrible person who didn't control his dog. Sick.
you obviously didnt read
I give the owners one warning, the I start the war.
Yeah, it's idiots like you that make me wonder why I like most dogs more than most people. You are an evil, wicked taker of innocent life and you won't go unpunished.
I am betting these dogs are kept outside, have not been spayed/neutered, have not had any training and have owners who consider them property and not part of the family.
About time. Dog owners are full of entitlement. Too many people equate dogs with humans. The latest scam is the emotional support dog. They get a sham psychologist to order one as medically necessary, which allows owners to beat local ordinances against dogs. Our obsession with dogs needs to stop.
It's about bloody time. Amazing how the owner is the only one who can't seem to hear them incessantly bark. I applaud this.
Just put the stupid barking dogs down for gods sake! Thats enough punishment (in $$$ and emotions) for the owners in most cases. Why should the tax payers have to foot the damn jail time bill to incinerate a moron animal owner? Use some common sense people, jezzz!
Shoot the dog? Really? How about we shoot noisy kids too or yappy neighbors?
There are "no bark" collars that will work just fine, just make the owners purchase and use them. In extreme cases, there is surgery to take care of the problem.
How about making the owner wear the No-Bark shock collar while sitting outside with the dog while it barks incessantly. That should get the point across.
I don't agree with putting folks in jail but having put up with neighbors' incessantly barking dogs is a serious nuissance.
It's high time these nuisances were dealt with, these people obviously do not deserve dogs! And what about these people with pit bulls that aren't secured sufficiently to keep them from hurting other people? What about them?
I have to laugh at the comment that says dog's are silent hunters. Many dogs bred to hunt in a pack like Beagles or Fox Hounds bay to let the pack know they've picked up a scent. You can't train this out of most of them from my experience because its so deeply instinctive. It would almost be as hard to train a human not to blink when something unexpected is direct at their eyes. If I lived in NJ I definitely not let my dogs out for more than 20 minutes at a time, but that's usually 3-4 times a day. I another animal (like a squirrel, rabbit, snake is in my yard) you better believe they are going to let me any everyone in hearing range know.
Dog owners get jail — shooter, thieves, rapists, forgers, Hillary — nooo problem.
I have VERY barky dogs. They are part Schnauzer, it's just part of the breed I have to put up with. But I control them and do not let them excessively bark. That's my responsibility as an owner, not to let my dogs being a nuisance. People who let their dogs bark like that, just don't care, or get off on the power they have to control the neighborhood. Definitely a passive/aggressive thing going on using the dogs.
Sadly many dog owners neglect to control their dog children just as bad as they neglect to control their own biological children and they should suffer the consequences for that as well.
Lock them up
This is a great idea. I have had to move because of bad neighbors and their barking dogs.
legally what your dog do is your responsibility
so if your dog assault:your guilty of assault
if your dog vandalise: your vandalising
if your dog break the law: YOUR BREAKING THE LAW
take your responsibility and admit a dog is too much for you before it get you in jail
I would rather listen to dog barking during the day for an hour than listen to most humans. If lawmakers feel the need to pass new rules regarding annoying dog barking for over 20 minutes, then they should also adopt the same laws for annoying people who talk for more than 20 minutes! Dogs bark, most people are stupid and lawmakers will continue to try and pass dumb laws. The facts of life!
Dogs belong IN THE HOUSE! They cannot protect you and yours unless they are INSIDE THE HOUSE! They must be taken for daily walks. They must be let out at set intervals (5 minutes is fine) to relieve themselves between their walks (they do most of their business on their walks, with the owners taking baggies to clean up the mess and bring it home for proper disposal. A DOG THAT BARKS IS IN SEVERE DISTRESS! (Most of them are silent hunters.)
A dog should NEVER be chained for any reason. A dog should NOT be "left alone" in the yard. They are social creatures and need to be WITH PEOPLE! If I heard a dog barking, I would call the appropriate agency and report them. I LOVE dogs and despise people who don't care for their dogs. The ONLY time a dog should be outside is when the HUMANS are outside with him/her/them. If you can't TAKE CARE of a dog, then DON'T HAVE ONE!
About time.
This is hilarious, a local heroin dealer did like three months.
Our next door dog barked all day and all night, until we complained constantly. Now it only barks from 7am until 11pm when the owners put it in because the bylaw officer told them they'd get fined. The whole neighborhood wishes someone would kill it.
Ah now I know where my neighbor got the "20 minute" rule for barking. Been in my house in NV for 22 years and never had animal control out until the last 3 years because of the lovely b$tch that moved in 3 years ago. She texted my one neighbor (lives directly next door) that 20 minutes of barking was the limit. Well surprise, surprise when animal control came out and I told them the 20 minute rule that the b$tch was spouting their response was "No that isn't the rule." Seems like the "rulers" in this NJ town are the same as my b$tch neighbor.
Lock 'em up.
Jail the owners and shoot the dog! No excuses and no exceptions!
Let's shot you instead.
"Shot you"? You sound like a real genius there, Darin.
You have never sent a misspelled text? Right. I'm sure you are perfect.
Yes. I am prefect!
Looks Like The Leadership Of Saddle River NJ, Wants To Play At Being Two Bit Dictators !! Must Be Democrats, Now Days Known As Socialists !!!
I think you will find an overwhelming level of support for this idea.
I like everything but the severe penalties. I would like to see a warning for first time offenders.
I swear that some dog owners just don't hear their dogs barking.

NEW YORK — A proposed Facebook policy that would allow your picture to be used in a product or store's ad on the social media site without your knowledge has privacy groups united in opposition.
Executives from six public interest groups on Wednesday signed a joint letter to the Federal Trade Commission asking that the agency act to stop Facebook's privacy and data use policies proposed by the company last week.
"Facebook users who reasonably believed that their images and content would not be used for commercial purposes without their consent will now find their pictures showing up on the pages of their friends endorsing the products of Facebook's advertisers," said the letter. "Remarkably, their images could even be used by Facebook to endorse products that the user does not like or even use."
Facebook reached a $20 million settlement last week in a class action suit brought by those who argued it did not have enough privacy protections in place. It said the new policy was in response to that settlement. It said it would listen to comments over a 7-day period that ends Thursday, and that it would consider feedback before adopting the changes.
In response to questions about the objections, Facebook said Thursday that it has not changed its ad practices or policies, and that it is only making things clearer for people who use the service. It said it wants to make clear that you are granting Facebook permission for this use when you use its services.
But Jeffrey Chester, executive director for the Center for Digital Democracy and one of the signers of the letter, said the new policy opens the door for even greater user of user's data.
"It requires 'Alice in Wonderland' logic to see this as anything but a major setback for the privacy rights of Facebook users," said the group's letter. The group is particularly upset because it said it makes it easier to use the images of minors who use the site.
Chester said Facebook unveiled the new rules on the eve of the Labor Day holiday in hopes it could be put in place before the FTC and public had a chance to object. But the comments from users at the bottom of the page announcing the changes were overwhelmingly negative.
"Send me ads, fine. Use my photos or posts in ads, I'm out of here," wrote Margo Kelly, one of the Facebook users posting a comment.
Among the other groups whose executives signed the letter are the Electronic Privacy Information Center, the U.S. Public Interest Research Group and the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse.

Could Financial Planners Help Stem the Rate of Military Suicides?
Show more sharing options
Share Show more sharing options
Army Sgt. Angelo Stevens carried heavy burdens when he went to see a military financial planner in May 2010. His family, which includes two seriously ill children, was living under the cloud of $100,000 in debt and the financial predicament was threatening his job. He saw no options before the meeting, and a few humiliating minutes with the planner left him feeling more hopeless than when he arrived. As he headed to the parking lot, he did the math and made a decision.
"I walked out thinking, 'If I'm dead my family can get $500,000 in life insurance, but I have to kill myself,' " he recalls. As he approached his car on the base at Fort Belvoir, Va., he heard someone calling after him. Another planner, Jan Chapman, had overheard his consultation and felt compelled to act.
"I could tell by the look in his eyes that he was one step off the planet," she says.
Stevens, now 38, credits Chapman, a 62-year-old planner in Annapolis, Md., with saving his life.
Statistics from the Defense Department include financial trouble along with mental illness, family problems, legal issues and substance abuse as top factors in military suicides. Running counter to the belief that time on the battlefield is the main cause of such deaths, a Pentagon study of the 319 non-reserve military suicides in 2012 found that more than 50% were among service members who had never deployed.
Insurance may play an inadvertent role in suicides. Almost all active-duty soldiers carry a $400,000 government life insurance policy, which pays out even when someone takes his own life unlike most insurance policies that cover private citizens. Survivors of service members also typically receive a $100,000 death benefit payable immediately. Most of the survivors of the 350 active-duty military suicides in 2012 received life insurance payouts, according to the Pentagon.
Chapman and about a dozen other planners with experience in guiding service members, as well as many veterans, say they have seen the debilitating effects of the financial pressures members of the military face.
While the Defense Department hires hundreds of financial advisors to assist those who serve in the armed forces, military policy does not allow them to provide planning, although some bend the rules to help troops in need. Instead, the advisors are instructed to focus solely on financial education, largely out of concern that planners could try to sell unsuitable financial products to service members who typically have little or no experience handling financial matters. "It's an important distinction," according to Barbara Thompson, director of the Defense Department's Office of Family Policy for Children and Youth.
Despite concerns about unscrupulous advisors, planning advocates believe the military is not using a vital tool at its disposal, especially since the military already forbids planners from selling products to troops. They say lives could be saved if the military helped more soldiers build strategies and develop solutions for escaping financial problems, such as debilitating debt. They also say the Pentagon's tendency to treat suicide risk primarily as a mental health problem impedes its ability to help those in financial straits.
"We've known this forever and no one will listen to us," says Craig Bryan, a veteran and executive director of the University of Utah's National Center for Veterans Studies. "We know that financial problems are one of the leading factors that immediately precede suicide among members of the military," he adds. "There are life stressors that are perceived as being unsolvable and never-ending, and suicidology is seen as being a coping strategy."
Jacqueline Garrick, director of the Department of Defense's Suicide Prevention Office, said she is well aware of the stigmatization that can come with classifying a service member's troubles as being related to mental health. She says her office is refocusing its suicide prevention efforts toward resolving daily life problems. "But understanding that," Garrick says, "and how to do it, how to develop the training and curriculum around that, it's still something that we do need to have a better understanding of."
This military's shift in focus Garrick's office was formed in 2011 may have contributed to a 9% drop in suicides to 474 in 2013 from 522 in 2012 among regular and reserve troops.
Garrick's office also is designing programs for new veterans. At least 8,000 veterans, about 22 a day, commit suicide annually, according to the Veterans Administration. Veterans account for more than 20% of all suicides in the U.S., although they amount to less than 10% of the U.S. adult population, according to a Financial Planning analysis of government records.
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, in a statement late last year, said: "The Department of Defense has no more important responsibility than supporting and protecting those who defend our country, and that means we must do everything possible to prevent military suicide. The entire DoD community service members, civilians, members of our families and leaders at every level must demonstrate our collective resolve to prevent suicide, to promote greater knowledge of its causes, and to encourage those in need to seek support. The Department of Defense has invested more than $100 million into research on the diagnosis and treatment of depression, bipolar disorder and substance abuse, as well as interventions for relationship, financial and legal issues all of which can be associated with suicide."
The military employed 314 full-time personal financial managers on military bases worldwide in 2012. Hundreds more volunteer or work as military contractors. These planners conducted 1.8 million meetings with soldiers of less than 15 minutes, according to the Pentagon. Just 162,000 "extended contacts," or longer meetings, were provided for service members that year. In 15 minutes, a planner can only provide "a tidbit" of financial advice, says Cathie Purdon, a planner in San Diego who is on family leave from overseeing a nationwide network of 100 military planners for the large military contractor Zeiders.
The military says it is currently analyzing its suicide prevention practices and related programs. Of these, at least a half-dozen address financial issues.
By the time Stevens sought help in 2010, he had received a letter from the military informing him that he would soon lose his security clearance. The military considers soldiers with high debt to be security risks, and indebtedness is the top cause of lost security clearances.
Losing his clearance would lead to losing his job, Stevens believed. That would mean he couldn't provide for his daughter and his son Andrew, who has a severe form of epilepsy called Lennox-Gastaut syndrome that kills most children in their teenage years.
After quickly reviewing the particulars of his situation, Stevens says the planner scolded him for setting a poor financial example to soldiers in his command. Stung by the criticism, he explained that his household went to one income from two so his wife could be home to take care of their children. The planner suggested writing letters to creditors, but said it was up to him to figure out how to write them the skills he had hoped to learn from her. The planner was following protocol.
"We make it a rule to never do it for them," says Purdon, who says she wishes planners had more time with soldiers. "We are there to educate. We can't put ourselves in a situation that would put us out of that scope."
While some contractors are tolerant of planners who push the boundaries of their employment terms to help service members, many contractors follows the regulations strictly.
Given her employer's protocol, Chapman took a risk when she ran to the parking lot and offered to help Stevens for free, after hours. That first evening, she met Stevens at his Alexandria, Va., home and worked with him and his wife, Nancy, for about six hours. She met Andrew, then 11, and the couple's 13-year-old daughter, Victoria, who has a less-severe form of epilepsy.
Chapman had experience dealing with adversity. After a fallout with a former business partner many years ago, she says she fell on hard times and a $3,000 debt that went to collection, which caused her longtime broker-dealer, Raymond James Financial Services, to drop her. That experience helped Chapman understand the dilemma many military men and women face when they're told their severe debts could mean losing their security clearances.
Last year, Chapman started a new venture called Clearance Advocates in which she bills troops independent of the military for putting together detailed responses to the military in order to save their security clearances. She estimates that she spent hundreds of hours in self-directed study of rules governing debt negotiation for soldiers. She has also worked for military planning contractor Zeiders.
In working with the Stevenses over several weeks, she put in about 45 hours of unpaid work and gave them a crash course in taking on creditors. "She drew up a battle plan," he says.
Chapman gave Stevens a thick three-ring binder with tabbed sections, one for each debt. She helped him write letters to each creditor and taught him how military laws protect active-duty service members from certain creditor tactics.
The letters typically asked creditors to agree to one of a few options: write the debt off because of Stevens' active-duty status; take payments of as little as $5 a month, which they argued was all he could afford based on his income and expenses that they documented; or accept a payoff amount if they were willing to discharge the remaining amount owed. If none of those options were acceptable, Stevens who felt honor-bound to satisfy as many debts as possible told the creditors he would include the debt in a bankruptcy filing.
Following those efforts, Chapman helped Stevens negotiate his $100,000 in debts down to $48,000. He then declared bankruptcy.
Stevens' wife Nancy describes the relief that came over the household once she and her husband knew how to help themselves.
"Once I had the help from Jan," she says, "Everything went smoothly. I didn't sit and cry on the phone. I just explained to [creditors]. I took the initiative to call them rather than them calling me. I'd say, 'What can I do to work it out? And, 'This is how long I will pay you for until it is paid off.' "
Chapman learned none of these skills during her studies to become a CFP because most planners serve relatively wealthy clients who don't struggle with high debt. However, some planners who work with the military hold other credentials that do include instruction in debt reduction.
Chapman also filed a 72-page argument on Stevens' behalf regarding his security clearance that resulted in the military maintaining it. Stevens wrote a commendation to his command praising Chapman. "She's like the mom I never had," says Stevens, who was removed from his parents' Rhode Island home at the age of 3 and raised by the state.
A short while later, Chapman says, her supervisor delivered the news that she would be let go because of her work with Stevens.
"Do you understand that there would be a dead soldier if I didn't do this?" Chapman says she replied.
"Yeah, but you were out of your lane," the supervisor said, using an oft-repeated military phrase.
"Yeah, but ...?" Chapman says she echoed in disbelief.
Another of her former supervisors, who spoke on condition of anonymity out of fear of career repercussions, confirmed this account. He also said that the military's shifting priorities also contributed to the early end to the contract.
After a trying period of months without income, Chapman went to work for a different military contractor that did not restrict her from working more intensively with service members in financial crisis.
Another planner working for a military contractor says she, too, was let go after she began teaching debt reduction classes to 50 soldiers at a time at a college. "It was considered out of the scope of the contract," she says, even though they helped stop 115 home foreclosures. She also asked to remain anonymous because she signed a confidentiality agreement with two different contractors.
In her daily work in one of the nation's poorest states (which she asked Financial Planning not to identify), she worked one-on-one with as many as 400 soldiers a month, and thinks she helped many make life-altering financial progress.
However, over a nine-month period in 2012 and 2013, she worked with 11 soldiers who eventually killed themselves. She says financial factors played a part in their demise.
One she described was a young man whose income plunged to less than $15,000 a year from $40,000 when he left the service and was let go by a civilian employer who feared he would depart on future deployments. Another was a 38-year-old father of three young children. She helped save his house from foreclosure by invoking laws that protect military members' homes. But after receiving a robocall from his bank informing him, erroneously, that his home would be foreclosed on the next day, she says he killed himself within hours.
By following protocol, the planner says she lost contact with these soldiers before each committed suicide possibly severing an important lifeline.
As with their civilian clients, more soldiers and veterans could come away from planning sessions with a sense of relief and well-being, planners say.
"Just having light shed on the numbers is very empowering," says Kate Fries, a San Diego planner who has worked with military clients. "It's like, 'I see the monster in the corner and it's really the coat rack.'"
A soldier who recently met with New Jersey-based military planner Dylan Ross of the Garrett Planning Network believed it would take 17 years to pay off his debts, Ross says. After Ross showed him he could do it in 17 months, the man's relief was palpable. The military could play a leadership role in promoting the value of financial planning in overall health, Purdon adds. "If they had a strong enough program," she says, "there would be a ripple effect."
After working with Chapman, Stevens began talking openly about his close call with suicide. Before leaving the military, he served in a pilot suicide prevention program available on many bases around the country. He and six others focused on rushing to the aid of imminent suicide risks.
Newly empowered with a clear understanding of how to argue and win with creditors, Stevens, who's now managing a sweetFrog yogurt shop in Alexandria, Va., says he began guiding other soldiers on negotiating mounting debt. He estimates he's helped more than a dozen soldiers retain their security clearances.
"It works both ways," Stevens says. "We are a big family and we are taught to help each other."

Audit: Pa. welfare payments linked to dead people
Pennsylvania state fraud investigators have been asked to look into cases in which someone was apparently using cash benefits and food stamps loaded onto electronic cards linked to the Social Security number of a dead person.
Department of Public Welfare Secretary Beverly Mackereth said Tuesday that her agency asked the inspector general's office to look into five cases after state auditors raised the matter.
Auditors say they found that the department had paid out more than $200,000 in benefits through 138 electronic benefit transfer cards linked to the Social Security numbers of dead people between July 2011 and March 2012.
But Department of Public Welfare officials say many of those Social Security numbers were incorrect in their system, and the cards belong to living people.

Urgent investment required for battery storage of green electricity
In the coming years, the Netherlands will have to work hard on Smart Grids, intelligent local networks with new storage capacity for green electricity. It will thus be possible to counter the impending instability caused by the increasing power surges of electricity from wind turbines and solar cells. Large numbers of locally installed batteries should accommodate the increasing fluctuations in the electricity grid that are inherent to sun and wind energy. If not, the Netherlands will be confronted with the major problems that are currently visible in Germany.
The four percent growth in renewable energy in the Netherlands, rising to 16% in 2023, as laid down in the recent Energy Agreement, makes the issue even more pressing. This is evident from the doctoral research by Stefan Nykamp at the University of Twente. The Smart Grids research topic is a spearhead within the University of Twente's Green Energy Initiative.
Looming blackouts, the shutting down of wind generators or dumping of (almost) free green electricity in neighbouring countries because of the threat that the network will become overloaded. These are the current problems in Germany, which already generates a quarter of its energy from renewable sources. According to PhD student Stefan Nykamp, the Netherlands must learn from this and invest heavily in a stable network for a future with the generation of at least four times as much green electricity. Nykamp's detailed case studies in Germany show that local storage in batteries is the best solution for this. The unattractive alternative involves extending the current network with an enormous number of new thick cables; an expensive investment of many billions that determines the situation for decades to come and requires old coal plants to remain on stand-by (contrary to the Energy Agreement). Local storage in batteries is a much more flexible system that prevents dangerous and costly instability on the network and permits the reduction of old plants.
Problems with green electricity
The German problems with energy from the sun and wind are numerous. First of all, there is a threat that the German power grid will become overloaded if there is (too) much solar energy and if the winds are (too) strong. Germany regularly 'dumps' excess green power in neighbouring countries such as Netherlands, far below the market rate or even for 'free': a market disruptive phenomenon. Moreover, this is no longer a solution because the neighbouring countries themselves will also generate more green power. In addition, energy is regularly wasted due to the shutting down of wind generators to prevent the grid from overloading. As a country generates more electricity from sun and wind, there is an increased risk of 'blackouts': residential districts and industrial areas without power, with disastrous (financial) consequences. Germany already had a number of 'near-blackouts' this year and will also have to do something in the coming years now the country is heading towards 80% renewable energy by 2050 with all the additional fluctuations on the grid that this entails. "The Netherlands can and must learn from this", says Nykamp who works at the largest German network operator Westnetz (RWE).
The best solution: Smart grids
According to the research at the University of Twente, local storage of electrical energy is the inescapable solution. On windy and sunny days, the energy surplus can be stored temporarily in batteries near the wind generators and solar cells. The energy can then be consumed during the nights or following days (or be supplied to the main network) when it is cloudy and the wind has died down.
The alternative would be an updated infrastructure with many thousands of extra kilometres of (thick) cables to the highest voltage level in order to prevent overloading. According to Nykamp, some 380,000 kilometres of new cable networks (the distance from the Earth to the Moon) would be required in Germany alone in order to export the surplus green electricity to major centres or the neighbouring countries. Cost: EUR 27 billion. In the Netherlands too, a multi-billion euro investment in cables would be much more expensive than the construction of additional energy storage in smart grids. On the basis of his detailed case studies, Nykamp expects that the tipping point at which the smart grids are the most cost-effective solution will certainly also be reached in the Netherlands.
Moreover, with the 'infrastructure with new cables only' alternative, the existing generation capacity has to be kept in reserve. However, if you cannot reduce the number of gas and coal plants, but have to maintain them at minimum in standby mode, this also involves extra high costs. Nykamp: "I am convinced that storage in smart grids is the best solution for Germany and the Netherlands. But if we don't invest in good time, we will be in real trouble."

Seton Hall committed 27 turnovers, squandering a 16-point lead and a chance to gain some respect tonight at LSU. The Pirates fell 72-67 thanks to a blizzard of second-half mistakes. Five thoughts:
This confirmed the worst fears of the SHU faithful: The Pirates have a gaping hole at point guard. Freshman Tom Maayan is going to be a solid playmaker, but he's still early on the learning curve, and when he's off there are zero reinforcements. LSU simply collapsed the Pirates with ball pressure. Can't remember a 27-turnover game by this program. This group shares the ball and passes well, but there are times when you need a guy who puts the ball on a string and beats defenses, pure and simple (Jordan Theodore). Certainly, they also missed Patrik Auda as a press-breaker. Sterling Gibbs must have been squirming in his seat.
Foul trouble or no foul trouble, Fuquan Edwin has to take more than five shots (3-for-5, 7 points). Hard to beat a decent team on the road when your first option is only marginally involved in the offense.
Freddie Wilson?
One bright spot: Gene Teague held his own against a major-conference postman. The big man was solid with 14 points on 5-of-10 shooting and six boards. He had five turnovers, but two or three of those were the result of lousy entry passes.
With the Washington loss, that's two blown opportunities to make a statement for Seton Hall. This team looks real good in spurts, but spurts don't win most games against solid competition. Consistency does. Not there yet.

What is Stevia?
Practically speaking, stevia rebaudiana is used as a no-calorie, low-carb, herbal sweetener that is up to one hundred times sweeter than table sugar – an alternative to sugar and artifical, chemical sweeteners such as aspartame (a.k.a. NutraSweet©). Used around the world for centuries with no adverse reactions, stevia is also said to be a great, healthful alternative for diabetics.
Scientifically speaking, stevia is …
Stevia (also called sweetleaf, sweet leaf or sugarleaf) is a genus of about 150 species of herbs and shrubs belonging to the Asteraceae (sunflower) family, native to subtropical and tropical South America and Central America (north to Mexico). The species are found in the wild in semi-arid habitats ranging from grassland to mountain terrain. Stevia does produce seeds, but only a small percentage of them germinate. Planting cloned stevia is a much more effective way of reproduction.

The Stevia Controversy
Manufacturers in Japan and other countries around the world have used stevia since the early 70′s to sweeten a variety of foods. However the FDA in the United States has routinely turned down requests to approve the use of stevia by U.S. food suppliers. In 1994, the FDA claimed,
We don't have enough data to conclude that the use [in food] would be safe.
It should be noted that the United States isn't alone in its harsh stance on stevia use. Neither Canada, nor the European Union allow the addition of stevia to food by manufacturers. An EU scientific panel concluded that stevioside (a.k.a. stevia) is
not acceptable as an alternative sweetener due to potential toxicity problems.
These arguments fall on the deaf ears of many stevia proponents. The evidence of repeated and apparently unharmful stevia use for the past several hundred years is all the proof they need. They point to stevia use in Japan over the past thirty years without a single case of documented stevia toxicity or adverse reaction. Read more about the safety and dangers of stevia.
Shopping for Stevia
You won't find stevia in the sugar/sweetener aisle, next to the Equal, Sweet'N Low, or Splenda, at your local supermarket. You can however shop for it at your local health food store where it is typically sold as a dietary supplement. You can also conveniently shop for stevia right here at Stevia Cafe and save up to 50% off!

Ventoso claims TDU's queen stage, Meyer holds on – barely
If history is any indication, Garmin-Cervélo's Cameron Meyer will win the Santos Tour Down Under this Sunday in Adelaide.
ADELAIDE, Australia (VN) ─ If history is any indication, Garmin-Cervélo's Cameron Meyer will win the Santos Tour Down Under this Sunday in Adelaide. In the previous twelve editions of the race, only once has the leader's jersey changed shoulders on the final stage.
But if ever there was a man who, like Stuart O'Grady unceremoniously did to Kai Hundertmarck in 2001, could do it, it is Matthew Goss of HTC-HighRoad, who has been the in-form sprinter of the race this week and sits just eight tantalizing seconds away from regaining the ochre jersey – this time for good.
"I'll be having fingers crossed," said Meyer.
"The team rode absolutely beautifully, and (exactly) to what our tactics we talked about this (Saturday) morning," he said. "The job was to not let (Goss) get the full 12 seconds back and hold onto the jersey today. And it paid off: we've still got the jersey."
"I've been in and out of the jersey," said Goss, "so if the pattern keeps going the way it has, it's my turn to get back into the jersey tomorrow (Sunday)."
Goss, third overall at the start of the fifth and penultimate stage of the TDU, rode out of his skin Saturday to be in a position to contest the stage victory. But for the Tasmanian, the collective toll of two ascensions of Old Willunga Hill, combined with bridging across to what looked like the winning move that at one point threatened his lead, Meyer saw his sprinting legs deadened by day's end, and could manage only third behind stage winner Francisco Ventoso (Movistar) and third stage victor Michael Matthews (Rabobank).
"I ended up in the bunch I wanted to be in. I was shooting for the win, (but) unfortunately I didn't get that, I got third," said Goss.
"It wasn't a perfect sprint for me (and) I made a bit of a mistake. I tried to get on the side with less wind but I got closed (in) on the barrier a little bit but I still managed to get third and I'm a few seconds away from the lead, so I'm there for a crack tomorrow."
Ventoso became the second Spaniard in succession to win the race's queen stage after Luis León Sánchez won last year, whose victory was preceded by Alberto Contador in 2005.
"This is a massive victory for me," he said, "but more important for the team. We have a new sponsor this year and to win is really important. We can be calm for the rest of the year, now we have won a race.
"It's the best way to start the year. I knew the finish well because we visited the stage in the last few days – twice," Ventoso added. "My legs today were stronger than other days."
Nevertheless, third place was enough for Goss and Matthews's teammate Laurens Ten Dam (Rabobank) to swap places on the leader-board, respectively eight and 10 seconds behind Meyer going into the final 90-kilometer circuit race Sunday. Even Matthews, fourth at 12 seconds, should he be in super sprinting touch, is an outside chance, although more than likely, it will come down to Meyer vs. Goss.
"Maybe (my teammate) Tyler (Farrar)'s got good legs tomorrow to get some time bonuses over the other sprinters," said Meyer, whose ideal scenario Sunday is to see a break go, "but yeah, it's going to come right down to the wire. I've got a good team around me, and hopefully we can have a good day tomorrow."
With a pair of intermediate sprints providing a maximum six seconds' worth of time bonuses (3, 2 and 1 sec. for 1st-3rd) and the final dash down King William Road worth 10 seconds to the winner (6 and 4 sec. for 2nd and 3rd), Goss' speed that's netted him the Cancer Council Classic and the opening stage so far this week will be his greatest asset – provided he recovers Saturday evening. He's also armed with the best lead-out train in the world and the world's fastest sprinter in Mark Cavendish and his lead-out man, Mark Renshaw, who will potentially lead him out for the race win.
"We'll try and keep the bunch pretty well together so I can try and get some bonus seconds and get the win," said Goss. "I've been so close all week."
Say G'day to D-Day
131 out of the original 133 riders departed McLaren Vale for D-Day at the TDU: a day that more often than not, has determined the overall winner of the race since its inclusion in 2003.
After some to-ing and fro-ing an octet forged their way off the front in the opening 10km, comprised of: John Murphy (BMC), Tanel Kangert (Astana), Sebastian Haedo (Saxo Bank-Sungard), Joost Van Leijen (Vacansoleil), Eduard Vorganov (Katusha), Michael Hepburn (Uni SA-Australia), Davide Viganò (Leopard-Trek) and Juan Horrach (Katusha).
With Viganò the best-placed escapee at the start of the day, 28 seconds behind the ochre-clad Meyer (Garmin-Cervélo), the peloton never gave much rope; two minutes' advantage after 44km was the best they got.
To their credit, the break made it as far as the first climb of Old Willunga Hill. But an orange armada of Basque Country boys set a stifling tempo that quickly chewed up then spat out the remnants of the break. And it was overnight mountains classification leader Luke Roberts (Uni SA-Australia) that took maximum points at its crest, sealing his lead and hopefully a contract for this season, who remains a victim of the Pegasus fallout.
A regrouping followed the descent into McLaren Vale before the second and final ascension of Willunga, as Meyer's Garmin-Cervélo team naturally set tempo till that point.
Once they got there, the three best-placed riders on GC rode where they should be – at the front – as Richie Porte (Saxo Bank-Sungard) took off, with Belgian Ben Hermans (RadioShack) and Meyer's teammate Jack Bobridge marking the move. Nearing the KOM, Hermans accelerated to take maximum points ahead of Porte and Bobridge, the trio no more than 20 seconds ahead of an 18-strong chase group that curiously, did not include defending champ André Greipel (Omega Pharma-Lotto).
Down the chute to McLaren Vale for the last time, HTC-HighRoad's Hayden Roulston and Matt Goss rode like demons to bridge across to the front three – but their efforts to do so became redundant when the other 16 made the junction with some 10km remaining.
Around a fast-sweeping left-hander Bobridge slid out, his fall also sending David Lopez (Movistar Team) tumbling, who rather comically for the spectator, found his own bike bouncing over top of him seconds later. They would not see the front group again.
Into the closing kilometers, the second group containing Greipel was less than 200 meters behind, but for the German giant and his Omega Pharma team, must've felt like a metaphorical mile, as they missed out on closing the gap by a handful of bike-lengths.
While Goss was perfectly placed for the sprint, the day's efforts, accumulated, clearly had taken their toll, and he could only watch as the Spaniard Ventoso make light work to claim his first victory since Paris-Brussels last September, beating fourth stage winner Matthews by the width of a deep-dish carbon wheel.

Last(?) batch of m70,III,NKorean,Hungarian being cut very soon. Deadline 12-13-2007 see classified add
Thanks all
I finally started this project Thursday and have the receiver pretty well together. Still need to weld the bottom plate in, but the sides are done except for drilling the holes. Carrier fitted. Still need to file some off for fitting a mag.
It's been a pretty smooth build so far even though I did re cut one weld to get a better alignment.
Wish I have bought more milled kits now!

Nice work VZ. Very inspiring.
I have been looking at my parts for a week trying to figure out how in the heck I am going to rebuild this gun. Same model as yours, only problem is, mine is missing the REAR end stub (for the folding stock) so I am going to need to build that from scratch too.
Your pictures will help a lot. I was having trouble vizualizing the finished deal, but now I know it will be awsome if I can ever get it back together.
Before I start, I figure I better take a month and get my welding skills up to par.
P.S. I have been trying to do some research on the gun. So far I have concluded I have a yugo M64 (milled receiver, folding stock, heavy threaded barrel) Is that the gun in your build pictures?
Do you still have the M64 plates available?
I do still cut m64 plates on occasion, they are a major PITA. I can also cut extra long if you don't have a rear stub. I can also provide dimensions if you need them. PM me for further.
vz58, have you figured anything out about the polish milled reciever? it uses a screw in russian barrel,which firing line makes the reciever. is that not a russian type reciever. if you have plates for these. let me know. i also need plates for the yugo m-64 underfolder and a yugo straight stock .So does the staright stock take a different plate. if so how much for all the plates ,i just mentions . i spent half the night trying to email and personal message you. it wouldnt cause i didnt have 10 post.can you pm me ,since i cant email or pm you.Well just answer me here. if you pm me ,i still wont be able to email or personal message you back.

Local captains share stage at 25th Anniversary Saltwater Sportsman Seminar
The 25th Anniversary Tour of Saltwater Sportsman magazine's national seminar series got off to a great start Saturday at Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, CT with approximately 900 anglers in attendance.
This was the first seminar in a series of eight that will travel the east coast. The series is hosted by George Poveromo of George Poveromo's World of Saltwater Fishing television program and editor-at-large for Salt Water Sportsman magazine, and Tom Richardson, noted authority on fishing the coastal waters of New England and a prominent fishing writer and editor.
George and Tom shared the stage with eight local captains, two of them from Rhode Island. Captain John Rainone, past president of the Rhode Island Party & Charter Boat Association and a distinguished Point Judith, Rhode Island based charter captain from the vessel "L'il Toot". The second Rhode Islander sharing the docket was Captain Louis DeFusco of West Warwick, RI who runs the charter vessel Hot Reels out of Point Judith (Captain DeFusco captured the Rhode Island swordfish record this summer with a 434 pound fish).
One of the highlights of the seminar was meeting and listening to Greg Myerson of Westport, Connecticut. Greg caught the 81.8 world record striped bass this summer using a three-way swivel with a large eel around a twelve foot boulder, one of his favorite big bass fishing spots. In an interview (visit www.noflukefishing.blogspot.com for the video), Greg said, "I use the largest eels I can get because the big fish are going to eat the big eels… and you have to be stealth. No noise on the boat." Greg said, "The best time to fish for trophy bass is at slack tide. The big fish are lazy. They are not interested in chasing bait in a lot of current, but rather wait until the water is still and they can hear and feel the vibrations of lobsters. Bass are near-sighted so it's all about listing and feeling vibration to find their prey."
Greg continued to say, "When I was younger fishing with friends we would have bass catching contests and if there were four guys on the boat, all presenting eels to the bass in the same spot what is going to get them to take my eel versus the others. I found that trying to mimic the sound of a lobster worked well. Once attracted to the area my bait they would see the eel and take it."
Greg said that he has invented a new fishing tackle device that attaches to your rig that is designed to mimic the sound of a lobster. He will show the device at the Springfield Sportsmen's Show in February this year (visit Greg's website at www.worldrecordstriper.com).
Each captain and fishing expert shared their favorite way to catch a variety of species. When asked about his favorite way to catch striped bass seminar host George Poveromo said, "I like top water lures. There is nothing like when a bass hits the plug." (visit www.noflukefishing.blogspot.com for a video interview).
Here are some highlights of what other fishing experts had to say about tuna and striped bass fishing (fluke and tautog tips to follow in future columns).
When fishing for tuna, watch the water for birds feeding, oil slicks from past blitzes on bait in the area, whales feeding, etc. The answer to the question "where are the fish" is usually right in front of you. You have to learn how to read the water to find them.
When on the troll floral carbon leaders "give you strength plus a thinner, less visible presentation." said seminar host George Poveromo.
Striped bass
The very first bass usually appear in April when the water hits 50 degrees off coastal shores, Narragansett Bay experts say they find the water a bit warmer (to 54 degrees) before they see the first spring bass
Most early spring bass are caught in shallow water, three to twelve feet
Favorite ways to catch bass as related by experts included fishing with a three way swivel with eels (this method is world record holder Greg Myerson's favorite method); top water plugs and swimming lures; a variety of soft plastic baits; and fishing with menhaden chucks or whole live fish.
A slow retrieve works best in the spring, faster retrieves when the water is warmer
Diamond jigs are often used in the spring too, three to four once jigs
Summer fishing for big bass is usually done at night, water typically 70 degrees, fish structure (reefs) in 28 to 44 feet of water starting at the high point of the reef; Captain Rick Mola of Norwalk, CT said, "One of the tactics we use in the summer is fishing with parachute jigs. I troll at 2.5 to 3 knots and tell customers to envision they are sweeping the floor." rather than using hard jerking motions.
Captain Mola also said, "We use menhaden often in the spring, either live or in chuck form, generally in low water." (visit www.noflukefishing.blogspot.com for a video interview with Captain Mola on fishing with menhaden).
Now is the time for your input on regulations at Fisheries Council meetings
The Rhode Island Marine Fisheries Council, their advisory panels and a major public hearing will be convening this month and next to determine what fishing regulations will be recommended for 2012. Anglers are urged to attend these meetings as this is the opportunity we have to impact fishing policy and regulation here in Rhode Island. The meeting schedule form the Department of Environmental Management Marine Fisheries website is as follows: http://www.dem.ri.gov/topics/mftopics.htm for details, meeting times and locations.
January 11, Shellfish Advisory Panel
January 17, Winter Flounder Advisor Panel
January 17, Striped Bass Advisory Panel
February 22, Public Hearing for input on policy/regulations for many species. Agenda items to include proposed changes to the Management Plans of the following:
Recreational Summer Flounder
Commercial Winter Flounder
Recreational and Commercial Tautog
Recreational Scup
Recreational Black Sea Bass
Commercial Monkfish
Commercial Cod
Commercial General Category Striped Bass
Recreational Striped Bass
Commercial Floating Fish Trap Striped Bass
Narragansett Bay Menhaden
Other agenda items include:
Proposal to amend the soft-shell clam regulations to increase the minimum legal size statewide;
Proposal to establish Conimicut Point Shellfish Management Area;
Proposal to establish a daily soft-shell clam possession limit for Conimicut Point Shellfish Management Area; and
Proposal to amend the soft-shell clam regulations for non-shellfish management areas by reducing the daily possession limit statewide
Cod fishing is improving but with the water so warm the dog fish are plentiful. Dave Garzoli reports on the RISAA blog , " I managed five keepers and a few toss backs (Sunday on the Francis Fleet) … A guy at the pulpit who was able to toss his jig and work it into the drift did well and managed a limit. Biggest fish that I saw was pushing 15 pounds. The grounds are absolutely loaded with small dogs. Most fished jigs and still had doggie issues. The guys dunking clams caught a few cod but most were busy messing with the dog fish." Leo Arsenault said, "I went out on Saturday on the Lady Francis and experienced the same as you, for every small cod caught seven dog fish would be caught."

VANCOUVER — A convicted gunman who B.C. Premier Christy Clark said should not have been invited to her government's budget speech last month holds a position on a Surrey riding executive in the federal Liberal party, The Vancouver Sun has learned.
Jaspal Singh Atwal is a member-at-large of the Surrey Fleetwood-Port Kells Liberal riding association executive, party executive director Don McDonald confirmed Friday.
The federal Liberal party is separate from the B.C. Liberals.
McDonald said Atwal has held the riding position since at least March 2011.
He said he personally didn't know about Atwal's criminal conviction for attempted murder until The Sun reported earlier this week about a complaint to the Speaker's office after Atwal attended the budget as an official B.C. government guest.
The premier's office explained that another invited guest, Tariq Ghuman, made the last-minute request for the extra ticket for Atwal and that no vetting was done of the guest list.
Ghuman has since resigned as a regional director for the B.C. Liberals and apologized to the premier and his party.
Clark repeated Thursday that she didn't know Atwal or anything about his conviction in 1987 for attempting to assassinate a visiting Punjabi cabinet minister.
"He shouldn't have been here. So in the future, we're going to have much more scrutiny on this list between us and the Speaker's office," Clark said. "I have met thousands and thousands and thousands of people. So I can't say I know him . . . if I had recognized his name and I had seen him on the list, he wouldn't have been here."
McDonald said the federal Liberal party does not preclude people with criminal convictions from holding riding executive positions.
"It is really up to the executive to make decisions about who serves, especially in between annual general meetings," he said. "It really is a situation of if somebody wants to hold office and that riding association is okay with that, it is up to them to deal with it."
McDonald said the only rule is that a riding executive member must hold a valid membership in the Liberal party and the nomination must be received by a certain cut-off date.
Riding president Javaid Muhammad did not respond to an interview request.
Atwal hung up on a Sun reporter Friday.
Dr. Gulzar Cheema, a former Liberal provincial legislator and one-time federal Liberal candidate for Fleetwood, said Atwal's work for both parties is well-known in Surrey, just south of Vancouver.
"I know that he has been active. There is no question about that," said Cheema, who also knows of Atwal's history. "I am not going to deny that I know him. I know him."
When Cheema organized fundraisers for the federal Liberals, Atwal would attend, he said.
"When I was doing functions in Surrey and I did one with Michael Ignatieff (in 2010), Jas was there with his four or five friends. So I can't say that I don't know him. That would be totally irresponsible and I think that would be a really horrible thing to say," Cheema said.
He also said there shouldn't be anything precluding people with criminal histories from participating in politics if they have changed their lives.
"I think everyone has the right to participate, as long as they are abiding by the rules of the party," he said. "If you know, if you are involved in the political process and you are honest about this and if there are things in the past which may not be very flattering, but if you are positive now, I think we should move on."

| 9.6°C Belfast
Nemanja Vidic insists Manchester United have no intention of letting lightning strike twice even though they still have some tricky hurdles to navigate before they reaching the Premier League winning line.
At the end of Cheltenham week, as the Red Devils extended their lead to 15 points with a 1-0 home win over Reading, keen racing enthusiast Sir Alex Ferguson embraced the theory that a testing run-in can catch even the most likely winners out, as it would take a collapse even more shocking than Devon Loch in the 1956 Grand National to deprive United of a record 20th title.
But Vidic is still preaching caution, and he said: "It is a big gap and we shouldn't let that change. We have the title in our hands. What happened last season is the reason why sometimes you can feel the fans get nervous. But I don't think we should allow that to happen again. We can't allow that to happen again."
He added: "But we still have some tough away games at places that are traditionally hard for us so nothing is finished yet."
It is true that Manchester City, Arsenal and Chelsea represent a third of their remaining fixtures.
But Aston Villa and Swansea must go to Old Trafford too, which should account for almost half of the 13 points now required after Wayne Rooney's 16th goal of the season wrapped up a 1-0 win against Reading.
And the memory of that journey back from Sunderland last season, after City's late heroics had snatched away a prize they finished their final game believing was going to be theirs is likely to ensure no loss of focus.
"You don't get any points for that," said Ferguson, when asked if United would be counting their chickens.
Defender Chris Smalling was more measured in his response.
"Last season is a massive incentive to make sure we hold on to this lead," he said. "We can't rest on our laurels. We have to make sure we finish it well before the season is over."
