Hockey Night in Indian Country: Spokane Chiefs Host Native American Culture Night
The Spokane Chiefs and Tri-City Americans were on the ice and the bleachers were nearly full with more than 8,300 hockey fans but this was Native American culture night and local tribes were well represented both in the bleachers and on the ice. Cheldon Ramos and his brother Quanah, Colville tribal members, skated onto the ice in full regalia carrying an eagle staff and eagle dance stick. Skating with them were D.J. Pacheco from Laguna Pueblo and James Porter, Jr. from the Kootenai Tribe of Idaho, each wearing their hockey gear.
Joining them were Imani Antone, Miss Coeur d'Alene Tribe and Little Miss Coeur d'Alene Tribe, Kathryn Matt. They wore beaded crowns and jingle dresses and dropped a ceremonial hockey puck onto the ice, the customary start of a hockey match.
A large screen showed Native American dancers and a flag song accompanied the video preceding the playing of the National Anthem. Mark Ramos, father of Cheldon and Quanah, was instrumental in working out arrangements with the Spokane Chiefs organization to put on this night recognizing and honoring Native Americans at a Chiefs game. Mark explained the flag song was from Blackstone. "It's a universal flag song, probably the most used one. I wanted to use one that the Native American audience would recognize, hoping they'd sing it," he said.
The idea for this event came from Luke Apple, account executive with the team. He had formerly lived on the west side of Washington where there is a large following of hockey by Indian people. "Here you have the Spokane, Coeur d'Alene, Colville, Kalispel and other tribes close by," he commented. "The Spokane heritage here is just so strong. Why don't we look into something with one of the tribes?" Then working with Mark Ramos the night's program was put together.
His reaction to the outcome was very positive. "Mark and his kids are great. They came out in their regalia and really put on a show for everybody. There was nothing but great response. I think this being our first, we did pretty well." It went so well that plans are to get together and plan a second evening dedicated to Native culture before the end of this season, "and two each year from now on. That would be kind of cool," Apple said.
Ramos already has ideas on changes for the second event. "I want to have a live drum for the flag song and live entertainment, whether it's hand drum songs or some dancing."
The Coeur d'Alene and Kalispel tribes are already sponsors of the team and this game fell on a night when the Coeur d'Alene Tribe sponsored a bingo contest during the hockey match and gave away Chiefs' jerseys and gift cards for the Coeur d'Alene Casino.
One of the Chiefs players, Todd Fiddler, is a Cree member from Saskatchewan. A few other Natives have played for the Chiefs in past years as well. Todd signed autographs following the game for roughly 150-200 people, mostly Native Americans. "They thought that was pretty neat," Apple said.
The young skaters all play for hockey teams. The Ramos boys play for CDAHA (Coeur d'Alene Hockey Association). Their dad said it meant driving 80 miles roundtrip from their home but he wanted them to have the chance to play on the same team as Cheldon is 17 and Quanah is 15. "They're good respectable kids so it's a good investment, money wise and time wise. They're learning leadership skills like being punctual, dedicated, and committed to the sport." The eagle staff Cheldon carried was made from a hockey stick. "Instead of tossing it (after it was broken) I salvaged it to the eagle staff," Mark commented.
The two younger boys also play hockey. D.J. Pacheco started on roller blades and has been skating about a year. He now plays on a house team at the Eagles in Spokane. Jamie Porter, Jr. has been playing since he was 5. His dad explained there is no ice rink in their home town of Bonners Ferry, Idaho so they travel to Creston, B.C., but even so, "he plays a lot of hockey."
Perhaps one day one or more of these young skaters will play for the Spokane Chiefs.
In several ways, this particular evening couldn't have occurred at a better time. It was during Native American Heritage month. It took place just after many Indian people had received their per caps and were in Spokane to shop for Christmas which allowed them to attend the hockey game, some for the first time. The home team Spokane Chiefs was victorious by a score of 5-2 over their biggest rivals and Fiddler had a goal and an assist, his seventh goal in the past six games. It was also the 1,000th Western Hockey League game for Chiefs coach Don Nachbaur. "It was a bonus for the Chiefs and for us," Mark Ramos commented.
Oh and it's Quannah in the
Oh and it's Quannah in the picture with Jamie Porter, Jr. . . . Might want to make sure you have the correct spelling and the correct names before publishing.
I love those boys and how
I love those boys and how special they are...mark you did excellent
i am not sure how to respond
i am not sure how to respond about this, except that many of us (Native people) still feel that we are People not mascots. it is time to stop using our images and names as sport teams mascots. i know this is a controversial subject and these are just my thoughts spoken from my heart. that is all i have to say. hoi!
Mark you did a great job in
Mark you did a great job in helping organize this event with the Spokane Chiefs as well as including your boys, my son and Jamie. I am proud of each of them. As far as the negative comments here it is to bad the so many would rather look at the negative rather then the positive in this situation.

St. Louis-bound AA flight makes emergency landing
The passengers of a St. Louis-bound American Airlines flight finally arrived at Lambert International Airport after a small fire on their plane forced it to return to O'Hare International Airport.
Officials with the airline say smoke was discovered in the cabin of the MD-80 shortly after takeoff Thursday evening. The flight crew put out the fire and the plane landed safely back at O'Hare.
The 120 passengers were placed on a later flight and arrived in St. Louis about 11 p.m.
There were no injuries reported
American says computer outage fixed, delays continue
Late Tuesday night, some American Airlines passengers were still waiting to get to their destinations after a computer glitch grounded the carrier's flights most of the day.
American officials say a problem with their flight reservations system forced them to cancel or delay more than 700 flights across the country, including more than 20 Lambert Airport flights.
The glitch was resolved around 4:30 Tuesday afternoon, too late for some passengers, who'll have to wait to travel until Wednesday.

What the US Airways and American Airlines Merger Means for Travelers
(ABC NEWS) American Airlines and US Airways announced Thursday they will merge their operations and become one airline, called American Airlines. Together, they are the world's largest airlines by passenger traffic.
The new airline will be led by US Airways CEO Doug Parker, while AMR Corp.'s Tom Horton will serve as Chairman of the combined airline's Board of Directors through its first annual meeting of shareholders. Parker will assume the additional position of Chairman of the Board after the first annual meeting of shareholders.
The new American Airlines will be headquartered in Dallas-Fort Worth.
What does the merger mean for travelers? In the short term, little will change on day-to-day business. Longer term will likely be a different story.
Short term changes:
In the short-term, travelers will see virtually no changes from either airline. The merger still faces regulatory obstacles and must be approved by the Department of Transportation and the Justice Department. If and when it passes that scrutiny, the process of merging the two airlines' operations will begin.
If you're holding a ticket on US Airways or American Airlines, that ticket will still be valid on the airline you planned to fly, on the day and time you planned to fly it.
When you get to the airport, you will head to the same airline check-in counter by which your ticket was issued.
The only possible exception is if you are holding a ticket for many months out and your airline's schedule changes as a result of the merger of flight schedules. In this case, you will be contacted by the airline ahead of time, typically to the email address you provided when the ticket was purchased.
Members of either airline's frequent flier programs need not worry: Your miles are still valid on your airline and it's very unlikely you'll lose miles or elite status. American and US Air will merge frequent flier programs. The new American Airlines will be part of the oneworld Alliance. US Airways will leave the Star Alliance.
Long term changes:
Longer term, the merger could mean higher prices. The U.S., in the last decade, has gone from six legacy carriers (Delta, Northwest, United, Continental, American and US Air) to four (Delta, United, American and US Airways).
If this merger is approved, just three legacy carriers will remain.
Certainly, the higher fares can't all be attributed to consolidation in the industry (fuel costs, a reduction in available seats and the economy all factor in) but in general, less competition means higher prices.
Higher airfare tends to hit smaller cities harder than larger cities, again, because smaller cities and airports have less competition.
On the up side, the merger will also mean more destinations for the new American Airlines. US Airways passengers will benefit from American's international routes, particularly in Europe and Latin America. American will be able to access the smaller U.S. cities where US Airways has a large presence. So for example, a US Airways flier who travels abroad from time to time will now be able to earn meaningful miles on those trips.
American Airlines has hubs and or a significant presence in Dallas/Fort Worth, Chicago, New York, Miami and Los Angeles while US Airways has key operations in Phoenix, Philadelphia and Charlotte, N.C. A merger may force the new airline to reduce operations at one or more of these hubs.
American Airlines and USAirways Merger Announcement Likely Tomorrow
They've been dating for a year, and now it looks as though the marriage of American Airlines and USAirways will be announced tomorrow, according to a source close to the negotiations.
The source tells ABC News that details of the merger agreement have been worked out.
The two airlines' Boards of Directors have approved the deal Wednesday evening, according to a source close to the negotiations.
If the two carriers merge, they are expected to retain the American Airlines name. The new airline would become the largest in the world.
Any deal is still subject to approval of the bankruptcy judge overseeing American Airline's bankruptcy, as well as the anti-trust division of the Department of Justice. Both are expected to sign off on the agreement.
This would be the third mega airline merger in the past five years. Delta and Northwest announced a merger in 2008, followed by United and Continental in 2010. The industry consolidation would leave four major carriers operating in the U.S., American, Delta, United, and low-coast carrier Southwest.
For travelers, nothing will change immediately.
These complicated mergers can take more than a year to accomplish. Will this ultimately mean higher fares for travelers?
Some analysts believe fares won't be greatly impacted, because American and USAirways don't compete now on many of their routes.
But ABC News Travel and Lifestyle Editor Genevieve Shaw Brown says less competition among airlines generally means higher prices for consumers.
Rick Seaney, CEO of FareCompare.com agrees, telling ABC News that a merger "guarantees these two airlines will never compete in the future, and competition is the main driver of cheaper airline ticket prices."
One thing travelers won't have to worry about is their coveted frequent flyer miles. The airlines will merge their two frequent flyer programs, and the larger route system will give passengers more opportunity to earn those miles.
Airline mergers can be messy affairs.
Brown notes that when United and Continental merged there were major computer glitches that virtually shut down their systems.
The biggest problem with most mergers, though, is consolidating employees and employee contracts. In this case, deals have already been worked out with pilots, flight attendants and mechanics, which will help ensure smoother sailing when and if the airlines combine.

I'm a huge fan. My mother-in -law attended a book signing with you in LA. I have your fabulous book! Thank you! We recently purchased a new home in the South Bay and I love your outdoor space. On page 68 you have a pic of a tree that frames your space so elegantly. Is it an olive? My hubby and I are in a huge debate - please let us know! BTW if you are looking for any charity work please let me know!!! LA space is just so different from the real world and boy do we have a challenge ahead of us. LOL.

Mary - any ideas for an elegant thank you gift (eg not an edible arrangement). :-)
Mary you are fabulous, and I suspect courageous. Being Australian, I love your lovely dry sense of humour. Bought one of your books, love it and your glamorous, elegant style. I encourage friends here in Australia to watch the show, telling them they will "love Mary the most" and you always prove me right.
Mary I enjoyed every episode--but why only 7--please do more Love everyting you do..
You are fabulous!! You look YOUNGER than your years for sure and I couldn't help but think you totally rocked those jeans. There's no chub on you. LOVE your humor, glamour, pugs, etc. Thanks for sharing your life!
A fellow 48 year old :)

I love all the designers on the show, but Mary you really make it special. You have a wonderful and refreshing style - both in your work and personal style. I hope there is third season of MDD, and you should most definitely do a lifestyle book incorporating all your design and fashion talent . Thanks for sharing your world, I know it can't be easy, but you handle it with style and class.
Mary , I would leave my husband and 3 kids to be able to intern with you!!!! I live,, breath and sleep decorating, and I don't have the guts to leave my job and do this as a full time career....!!!!

Oh my goodness, loved this episode, so bitter sweet to have to wait for you for yet another full year. My heart did palpitations with all the blue and white in your back yard. I think you should seriously consider shipping it my way. I would love it dearly.. lol. had to giggle out loud when the word hoarder was used.. all the best . Lynne
LOVE your "new" house!! The kitchen and bedroom were my favorite. Looking forward to seeing more of you on season 3!
Oh, and you don't look 48..
Mary, I absolutely LOVED the fact that you were so real in the last episode. So many women go through versions of what you were experiencing and I think it was wonderful to see you take on rebuilding your home, in a sense, on the show. Loved the bedroom and the kitchen. A lot of green though......I probably would have gone with shades of blue. LOL!
You are a delight and I so enjoy watching this program. It just seemed to fly by and I was sad that Martyn was the only one of you that showed up on WWHL this season. Thank you for sharing your work and your life with us!
I absolutely LOVED,LOVED watching you!!! I love how you took a new spin on your life and refreshed yourself! Inspiring!!! I am 42 and have my 8 year old daughter watch the show with me. She aspires to be a fashion designer and has been drawing amazing fashion for the past four years, but YOU inspired her to start drawing interiors. Wish you could see how you inspired her. I think you are hysterical, amazingly stylish and chic!!! Thanks for letting us watch the transformation!!! We love you here. Getting your books ASAP!!! Simply MUST have them!! Thanks for inspiring my daughter, she just kept getting so excited when it cut to your name and she would just oodle about how much she loved Mary!
l love you mary, and i love what you did to your home! so elegant!
you are a real MDD! love your sweet relationship with nate!
also, thanks for your luscious and wicked sense of humor.
Mary, it was such a pleasure and treat to get to see your house and what a beautiful job you did with it! I adore you and would love it if you had your own show. Would you ever do that? I know you're busy and probably private, but it would be a huge hit and Lucy would be proud!
Mary you are just hysterical ! Is it true you were the inspiration for the character " Karen" on the Tv show Will and Grace? Your house is just beautiful! Love the dynamics between you and Nathan.You guys are fun. Its nice to watch everyone enjoying each others company on a Bravo reality show. Good luck to you on your fresh start. Look forward to next season.
Oh, Mary! You saved the finale! I like all of the cast, but by the end of season 2...I love Mary!
And yes, I too would stand in line at Lowe's if they had Quadrille - whatever it's called- wallpaper, so I can just copy your kitchen! Please talk Bravo or HGTV into doing a Mary show. I would tune in. You are so fabulous and funny, and real at the same time. And, yeah, your design esthetic is good, too. ;) I want more Nathan also!
Mary, I love your bedroom, especially the beautiful walls with all the white mirror frames and white accessories. Your whole scene seems lighter and brighter from the way it was before. I really felt for you that you had to manage that move-in PLUS have a dang dinner party on top of it...exhausting! Have you considered a clothes line? I love your taste in clothes and the jewelry you choose. Really, you could do it. Good luck moving forward -b.
Like I said before, you are in great shape for any age! I'm 54 and very envious of that flat tummy! Let them think you're 70!! You look even better for 70! (only an idiot would think that anyway!)
I love, love, love, love this show!!!!!! So sad it's over. I could also see a lot more of Nathan and Dunham!
Great episode! Love your redecorated home. So warm and elegant-not easy to do. Wish we had seen more of it, though. Please explain, I am a new viewer, was Nathan your design assistant at some time? He seems a wonderful young man. You are too fortunate to be surrounded by those gorgeous men! Look forward to more MM design on Bravo. How about a Mary and Nathan show?
jane.s.cederholm The good news; she's surrounded by good looking, smart, witty charming men who adore her. The bad news; theyre all gay!
Mary, you look maahvelous! Rude people to be asking a lady her age!! You were either extremely brave or hopelessly delusional to allow the cameras to follow you around during this decidedly upsetting point in your life. Love your personal style and was soooo happy to receive your wonderful book for Christmas so I can be inspired well beyond the MDD finale.
Please say you're all coming back next year?!? I see an MDD reunion for the Marks/Cassidy nuptials. What do you say?
YOU are the kind of stuff that I wish was on HGTV! Don't think I didn't look for the Lowe's version of the wall paper you had in your bedroom. What I loved is that each of your rooms were different...you just enjoyed what your loved and it all worked out. I wish you had a blog so I could pour over your designs. Also, I wouldn't mind seeing all the jewelry you had...it was really a teaser last week.
@MARYMCDONALDINC First let me start by saying that I thought you were much younger than 48! Second I bust a gut when Nathan was impersonating a Hoarder's episode starring you. Third, LOVE the 70's Palm Beach vibe and died because when I redecorated my living room I went with the 70's Bermuda look...and yes it is also "Nana chic". Thank you for entertaining me so much this season with your hilarious wit and fabulous style. I look forward to season 3.
I absolutely love your style. I only wish I had a million dollars so I could hire you to decorate.
Mary I LOVED your re-do on the house! I love tradtional decor and your choices are making me re-think how to make our place look younger. You're a spring chicken my dear and you look great. Keep up the great work.
Mary, good for you telling your age.. You look Mahvelous.. and the jeans and muscle shirt.. I thought "wow, girl looks great.". Agree with you on Ross and Jeffrey, Ross is very pretty..
Mary we loves us a glam hoarder darling! It's people like us that give opportunity for shows like Storage Wars so we're actually helping so many others!
Your segments are my favorite parts of the show. Many years ago did you give a tour of your home on HGTV? The kitchen I remember as being blue, and you had a tall, dark haired handsome husband . You were just as beautiful and funny as you are now-- I love your latest book.
Kathryn is(according to her!) in her 30s and you look way better LOL. Youve been really great this season. I actually like you all, so different but equally great personalities. Dare I say you make a wonderful faghag? something Im sure you know as you did say youre a magnet for gay men. Good luck and I hope theres a 3rd season!
48? You look fabulous! I thought you were in your 30s for sure. Lovvvvve this show!
Love, Love this show..you are hilarious and soo talented ..best of everything to you this new year!!!!!

Keith Hamer has a selection for every race on Sunday and fancies Sir Des Champs in the John Durkan. CORK: 12.45 Rathvinden, 1.15 Alelchi Inois, 1.45 Emily Gray, 2.20 Twinlight, 2.50 Way Up In The Air, 3.20 After Dark, 3.50 Mm Dazzler. KELSO: 12.25 Roc De Prince, 12.55 Talkin Sence, 1.25 Titus Bolt, 1.55 IMPERIAL VIC (NAP), 2.25 Night Alliance, 2.55 Tonvadosa, 3.25 Snuker. PUNCHESTOWN: 12.30 Ange Balafre, 1.00 Apache Jack, 1.35 Sir Des Champs, 2.05 More Madness, 2.35 Bright New Dawn, 3.05 Daring Article, 3.35 Black Hercules. WARWICK: 12.40 Mahican, 1.10 Vukovar, 1.40 Twoways, 2.10 Oscars Way, 2.40 Orange Nassau, 3.10 Portofino Wasp, 3.40 Troyan. DOUBLE: Imperial Vic and Night Alliance. Imperial Vic looks the ideal type to relish the marathon distance of the Persimmon Homes Scottish Borders National at Kelso. Michael Smith's staying handicap chaser has not looked short of stamina in recording victories up to three and a quarter miles at Musselburgh, Catterick and Perth. He is usually up with the pace at those trips and while this four miles is an unknown, he has been finishing his races well enough to suggest it will be well within his compass. Imperial Vic also has the touch of class to deal with this company, having been a close third to Vintage Star in the Weatherbys Hamilton Insurance Graduation Chase at Carlisle. Night Alliance can continue his progression by defying a 10lb hike in the weights to complete a hat-trick in the John Wade Always Right Champion Chase. Dr Richard Newland's eight-year-old has looked a decent performer this term, with wins at Ffos Las and at Ascot last time, where he accounted for Duke Of Lucca by four and a half lengths. He is still towards the bottom of the handicap in this field and could have scope for further improvement. All eyes at Warwick will be on Vukovar, who makes his much-anticipated British debut in the Age UK Solihull Beginners' Chase. The French import was last seen winning at Auteuil in June when he defeated Dell' Arca by three lengths. That form was given some boost by the emphatic victory of the runner-up, now with David Pipe, in the Greatwood Handicap Hurdle at Cheltenham. It is straight to fencing for Vukovar as the four-year-old tackles this two-mile heat. Trainer Harry Fry reports his new acquisition to have schooled with promise but the acid test is on the track. Given his reputation, he should pass it with flying colours. Twoways can confirm the impression he made on his debut over the bigger obstacles to land the Citizens Advice Solihull Handicap Chase. The seven-year-old, trained by Mark Rimell, plugged on to take third place behind Arkaim at Huntingdon two weeks ago and is fancied to go two places better.
Cue Card stamped himself as a big player on the staying scene with a super display in the Betfair Chase. The old guard now
have their back against the wall, and the King George VI Chase is the key Christmas gift to racing fans.
While the bruisers slug away over three miles, this weekend sees the speed merchants battle for the Tingle Creek, though the
expected presence of the phenomenal Sprinter Sacre means a procession is likely.

Recipe by Rosina
"Cardamom makes these special."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 cup butter, softened
2 1/4 cups white sugar
2 eggs
5 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cardamom
1/2 cup milk
I mixed 2 Tbl. cinnamon with 3 Tbl. sugar for my rolling mixture. I also replaced 3/4 tsp. cardamom with 1 tsp. cinnamon. I divided the recipe in half and only added 2 cups of flour and an extra egg white. I baked for only 8 minutes.
I didn't have any cardamom, so I substituted it with a bit of cinnamon and an even smaller bit of nutmeg, plus a sprinkle of vanilla extract because I was feeling adventurous. I bet that the original recipe would be better, but my changes gave the cookie an exotic flavor.
44 Ratings
These cookies were really good. They're not your traditional sugar cookie, they're more soft and puffy. My whole family really enjoyed these.
Awesome taste, crispy and perfect. Will make this recipe from now on.
These cookies were more like a snickerdoodle with cardamom instead of cinnamon. They tasted good but not so good that I want to make them again. The recipe makes a lot so I would half the recipe if you have never tried them before.
Verry good, soft cookies. The only thing was that they could have used a bit more sugar and I added cin.
This was good and all it was just that something in it made one of my daughters throw-up! Well it could be worse.
The cookies are really soft and tasty without being overwhelming. I would make them again!

Remember me
quote The PandamicOh Lucario, about your Snorlax, though he is one of the most versatile Pokemons to use, his Special attacks spell terrible. He's a more physical type and sure it's good to have him to confuse others, but it won't do as much damage as you hoped he would do, even WITH EV training, it'll be a hassle to do and it isn't worth doing anyway. Morelm: Oh nothing, I just thought you haven't :] Mostly because people would step all over my Ampharous D:
quote The PandamicI used to have Ampharous part of my team but it's overall stats weren't good enough for online matches. Also, the moves he learns through TMs aren't good enough. I don't know that's just me. Also, I suggest teaching Muscle, Stone edge and any of the other moves you mentioned. Definitely Stone edge though. Does Noctowl learn Brave bird by Leveling up? If so, then go for that instead of Air slash.

Morapedi, W.G. (Routledge (Taylor and Francis) www.routledge.com, NaN, 2007)[more][less]
Abstract: For the last two decades, Botswana has had a reputation as a 'country of immigration', based on the large-scale import of skilled expatriates from Africa, Asia, and the West. This policy has been accompanied by a general acceptance, and even openness, on the part of Batswana towards non-citizens. In the late 1990s, however, these attitudes began to change, with intolerance towards non-citizens growing in a country where it was unknown only a few years earlier. (Crush 2003:1-2) The underlying reason for the growth in intolerance seems to be related to actual changes in immigration patterns in Botswana. The economic and political problems in Zimbabwe in particular have led to a significant increase in unauthorised migration to and through Botswana. The Botswana authorities have become considerably more active in arresting and deporting unauthorised migrants. Further adding to the visibility of the issue, the media and politicians have begun to identify the presence of 'illegal immigrants' as a problem.

Segobye, A.K. (Routledge (Taylor and Francis) www.routledge.com, NaN, 2007)[more][less]
Abstract: The colonial and postcolonial experiences of Africans reflect the myriad changes which African societies have undergone over the last few centuries. These include cultural, political and economic transformations mainly carried through formal education and the entrenching of western knowledge and technologies. The material and ideological changes were facilitated by a number of factors which varied over time and place. Formal education via religious missions became one of the tools for accelerated cultural transformation. It instilled new values and cultural aspirations for Africans caught in the complexities of colonial life. Education became the main vehicle for many forms of liberation from poverty, oppression and the inequities oflife. It offered an escape from what was perceived as the inadequacies of African knowledge systems creating new classes and voices within African societies. University education, as and when it became accessible to Africans, was invariably laden with multiple expectations for those who gained entry from their families and the wider communities within which they lived. The university thus became a complex landscape steeped in often contradictory aspirations including the transformation of individual and collective ideas. For some, it marked the attainment of a position of superiority, elite status, and often new forms of power, whilst for others it was a place of learning and enlightenment, associated with the creation of new liberties, and tools for realising broader freedoms. The idea of transformation in the university in Africa can thus be situated in the contradictions and opportunities that university education in Africa has come to represent.

Makgala, C.J. (Oxford university press/www.oup.com, NaN, 2005)[more][less]
Abstract: This article assesses the weaknesses of opposition in Botswana through the case of Kenneth Koma, the influential President of the Botswana National Front (BNF) from 1977 to 2001. This is done by examining the perception that from 1997 Koma's relationship with the ruling Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) destabilized and weakened the opposition in the country. The article challenges a view, held by some of his detractors in the opposition, that his leadership style was out of tune with global trends. It also argues that what some people have viewed as 'tribalism' — the domination of the BDP leadership by members of the Bangwato tribe (of which Koma is also a member) — seems to be primarily a matter of expediency. This alleged tribalism is used by Koma's critics as a smear. The article analyzes the relationship between Koma and the BDP at both political and personal levels. At the political level, Koma's failure to keep the BNF united has been capitalized on by the BDP to tighten its grip on power. At the personal level, Koma has used his connections in the BDP to advantage in his business dealings. Koma's cult status and his personal and political choices have therefore significantly contributed to de facto one-party rule in Botswana. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10311/505 Files in this item: 1

Morapedi, Wazha G. (Routledge (Taylor and Francis) http://www.routledge.com, NaN, 2006)[more][less]
Abstract: This article analyses the colonial government's intervention in crop production in Botswana through the 'progressive farmer' scheme, from 1946 to independence in 1966. Crop production was not a highly remunerative venture in colonial Botswana because of persistent droughts, inadequate markets and lack of sufficient draught power and farming implements. Although cattle constituted the basis of wealth and, hence, their ownership led to social differentiation from pre-colonial times, the introduction of the 'progressive farmer' scheme accentuated the existing social stratification by favouring the well-to-do producers. While only a few farmers benefited from state assistance, this development marked a departure from the period before 1947 when the colonial state did almost nothing to bolster crop production in the country. By utilising statistics and case histories of farmers who joined the scheme, the article argues that the support extended to a few selected farmers in only some reserves accentuated intra-peasant differentiation and differentiation between regions of the country. The article begins by briefly presenting a survey of the concept of peasant differentiation, then focuses on the nature and organisation of progressive farmer schemes and their impact on peasant differentiation. It then discusses the position of farmers in the various categories of the scheme and finally presents and analyses case studies of three progressive farmers from three different reserves.

Makgala, C.J. (Cambridge University Press, NaN, 2004)[more][less]
Abstract: This essay examines, through taxation, the relationship between British colonial administrators, Tswana Dikgosi (chiefs) and their subjects in the Bechuanaland Protectorate from 1899 to 1957. It argues that since Bechuanaland became a British territory through negotiations the Tswana rulers were able to protect their interests aggressively but with little risk of being deposed. Moreover, the Tswana succession system by primogeniture worked to their advantage whenever the British sought to replace them. Taxation was one arena where this was demonstrated. Although consultation between the Dikgosi, their subjects and the British was common, subordinate tribes sometimes fared badly under Tswana rule.

Bolaane, Maitseo M.M. (Routledge (Taylor and Francis) http://www.routledge.com, NaN, 2007)[more][less]
Abstract: The aim of this article is to examine the historical relationship between tsetse fly control, the cattle industry and game policy in northern Botswana. The article will locate the Botswana case in the context of contemporary tsetse and trypanosomes research in sub-Saharan Africa and illustrate some of the major factors influencing tsetse and trypanosomosis control policy in the Okavango Delta. It will also provide an overview of the development of Western scientific thinking about tsetse control in Botswana. It analyses the complex epistemologies employed in Western scientific accounts of the history of the area and emphasises the exceptionality of the Botswana context where tsetse and trypanosomosis control proceeded down a bumpy road of trial and error until late into the twentieth century. Although there seems to have been little attempt to incorporate indigenous knowledge about tsetse fly on the part of the colonial authorities, it is also interesting to note that, in the Botswana context, Africans also made sustained efforts to observe the fly environment and to experiment with its control.

Mokopakgosi, B.T. (Routledge (Taylor and Francis)/www.routledge.com, NaN, 2008)[more][less]
Abstract: This article documents key aspects of the role played by university students in Botswana in the liberation struggle, from the early years of the University in the mid-1960s to the year of Zimbabwe's independence in 1980. Three demonstrations by University students are analysed, and the article concludes that, contrary to the received literature, the University contributed to the liberation struggle in a meaningful way. Although students at the University continued to play a part in the liberation struggle after 1980, this period is not discussed as the liberation struggle became just one of the key agenda items in a broadened political programme that focussed on local concerns of the students such as fees, allowances, institutional governance and democratisation.

Hi - i am interested in replying to some of the posts in The Newport Wetlands forum as I am from that area and visit family and friends there regularly , so would be useful to keep in touch. There is no "reply" button on the post when I view them- I'm presuming you have to join or something, anyone tell me what to do?
Many thanks- Jayne
Hi Jayne look in the top right corner you need to join the group
You have to join the group, Jayne. There should be a 'Join Group' button on the top right of the screen when you view one of the Newport Wetlands posts.
Cheers Alan - can always count on you!! Thought it would be something simple - me just being dull, lol!! Thanks too Aiki!
Don't worry it's not just you we all had to suss it at some point..beats me why we have to join the groups to reply they could make them all open.
Thanks - done now, that was easy peasy!

Current Condo Trends in Mississauga Condo Market
Prospective buyers in Mississauga will find that the latest trends in the local real estate market may leave them with few options. Recent reports have found that a variety of factors have led to a significantly increased demand for Mississauga condos. Among those factors are rapidly increasing single-family home prices. The simple fact is that the cost to purchase a single-family home has now become unaffordable for many local residents. The situation has left buyers with the choice of moving further out to the suburbs where homes are less expensive but the commute is longer or buying a condo in Mississauga which offers amenities of a large City.
The scarcity of affordable single-family homes has caused many buyers to be priced out of the more established neighbourhoods in the area. As a result, many families are making the trade-off of opting for condo-style living while maintaining easy access to the local transit system. Construction of new Mississauga condos has continued at a rapid increase over the past few months. In fact, the construction level actually seems to conceal the anticipated demographic needs, potentially signalling a decline in sales at some point in the future.
Even so, buyers weighing the pros and cons between moving to the suburbs and buying a Square One condo often find that a condo wins in the end. Factors such as traffic congestion and increased traffic often incite a desire to live closer to work. Currently, the vast percentage of the condo boom in Mississauga and the surrounding area has taken place in highly desirable neighbourhoods that are well served by the local transit system and also easily walkable.
Yet another factor driving the trend toward condo living is the growing senior demographic. In fact, many luxury Mississauga condo towers are now specifically targeting well-off empty nesters who no longer desire to maintain a larger residence. Location-centric neighbourhoods make it easy to socialize with friends and enjoy a range of amenities.
During the course of the next two years, it is anticipated that the rate of condos for sale in Mississauga will drop off somewhat from the current boom we are now witnessing. Based on a continuing need for affordable housing and the desire of many buyers to maintain easy access to transit systems and a vibrant lifestyle, the overall prognosis for the condo market in Mississauga is expected to remain strong. Some experts are even predicting that over the long-term the price growth for Mississauga condos could rival that of traditional housing.

What Type of Mississauga Condo is Right for You?
With the large selection of condo buildings around Square One it can be hard to narrow down on the building and the type of condo unit most suitable for your living situation. Most condo buyers fall into one of these categories:
Young Professional / Single Living
When you are a young professional the features that will attract you to a certain condo living will include:
View: An unobstructed view is always desirable when selecting a condo, a view of the lake or the City of Toronto will usually cost you premium but it is worth it even for resale value. Being young profession the ability to entertain can be important and a nice view is always impressing.
High Floor: Nice view and high floor come hand in hand, especially with many new buildings coming up in the Square One area it is a good idea to ensure that your view will not get blocked in the next 5 years by a new high rise, a real estate agent can find out this information for you.
Upgrades: Being a young professional a unit that is upgraded such as high ceilings, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, hardwood floors play a big role when selecting a unit. You will find that newer condo buildings would have these features as standard and you would not need to invest more money into upgrading the unit.
Amenities: Nice amenities are important when selecting your condo building, a swimming pool, gym and party room are important when looking for the right condo building for you. This will also encourage socializing with your neighbors which will add to the quality of living in a condo.
Building suggestions for young professionals:
Prince of Wales (Chicago) – The building has outstanding patio with flat screen TVs and a barbeque area.
Square One Dr (Limelight) – This new building is attracting a lot of young professionals with its eco- friendly features and state of the art basketball court as well as a gym that offers group games
Absolute Ave – The building has the largest facility with an indoor and outdoor pool, cardio room, weights room and even a spa facility.
223 Webb Dr (Onyx) – One of the newer buildings with very nice finishes and an amazing terrace/party room on the rooftop.
3880 and 3888 Duke of York – Great building that has a bowling alley, swimming pool, theater and a gym.
Condo living as a couple is a great way to start out, here are some features most couples look for when buying a condo in Mississauga.
Spacious Unit: Nowadays the condo units are quite small especially new construction, for two people living in a condo you want to have a spacious unit at least 750 sq ft would allow for comfortable living. I would definitely recommend going for a 1 bedroom plus a den or a 2 bedroom unit. This way you can enjoy living in a condo for a longer period of time without lacking too much space.
Parking: When looking for a condo parking will be important especially if you have more than one car. Most units in Square One come with one parking space however if you are a couple most likely you will have two vehicles that need to be parked. You will want to look for a unit that either has 2 parking spots or a building where parking can be easily rented for not too much money. The average price to rent a parking spot in Mississauga will vary depending on the building $65 – $90 per month.
Amenities: Amenities are important for a couple living in a condo, especially if you like to entertain and you simply do not have enough space in your unit, a party room can be rented or a building with a nice outdoor terrace will come in handy. Also most buildings by Square One have guest suits that can be used for overnight guests.
Location: Location is important when you have two working adults living in one space, a convenient location when each partner can easily travel to work is very important. The Mississauga Square One area is a very convenient location with 3 highways all about 10 min from each other, you can travel to different parts of GTA with ease.
Building suggested for couples:
Living Arts- Great building with a nice location very close to Square One and minutes to Celebration Square.
3939 Duke of York or 220 Burnhamthorpe - The buildings has hydro included in the maintenance fee , it is a clean and quite building with many couples or families living. It also has a shuttle service that provides transportation to the Go Station (Square One)
225 Webb - This building is only 5 years old it features nice finishes and good size units.
Elm – The two Elm buildings are great for start-up with prices and maintenance being very reasonable.
When a family of 3 or more people are looking for a condo living the important factors to consider include:
Spacious Unit: If you have children space plays a huge role when looking for a unit, a comfortable space for a family would be 1000 sq ft or more. Two full bathrooms are also very important for a family living with children.
Good Security: When looking for a building in the Square One area good security can play a big role in selecting a building. You will want to ensure that the building has 24 hour security and security cameras throughout the building.
Kid Friendly Amenities: Kid friendly amenities are hard to find in most condo building, there are however a couple of building that have small playground area.
Building Atmosphere: When looking to buy a condo in Mississauga the atmosphere of the building plays a big role. You will want to find a building with high ratio of owner as oppose to renters, a Real Estate agent will have knowledge of this information.
Building suggested for families
310 Burnhamthorpe or 330 Burnhamthorpe (Ovation/Ultra Ovation) – These building over spacious units while living in the newer condos, you can find nice 2 plus den unit where a den can be converted into a third bedroom.
3880 and 3888 Duke of York - In this building you will find reasonably priced 3 bedroom condos , also hydro is included in the maintenance fee.
335 Rathburn - This is a very nice and quiet building suitable for a small family
Older Residents
Most older residents look for a condo living as a downsize opportunity with less maintenance, no stairs and upkeep to worry about.
Spacious Unit: Moving from a house to a condo many older residents find that new units are quite small even for downsizing. Especially if they are used to a bigger property downsizing can be hard, I find that older building are quite suitable for adult living with units over 1000 sq ft.
Lower Floor: Lower floor is also important for older residents, in case of emergency or fire alarm stairwell has to be used and exiting the building from a lower floor is much easier for older people.
Good Neighbours: Neighbors of the same age is something that many individuals looking to downsize are interested in, you will also find that in older buildings in Mississauga are attractive choice for retired individuals.
Wheelchair Accessible Entrances: This is an important consideration when selecting a building in Mississauga
Building suggested for older adults
The Collegeway – These building are a popular choice amongst the older public, they offer great security spacious units and great atmosphere.
330 or 350 Rathburn – Reasonable priced units and spacious apartments are one of many features of these 2 buildings.
250 Prince of Wales – This building specializes in adult living with exclusive units and assistance living.

How Mississauga Condo Sales Compare to GTA
Toronto house sales – and prices – continue to climb despite the best efforts by Ottawa to cool a market that shows no signs of giving buyers a breather.
Sales across the GTA were up 30 per cent in September, year over year, and prices were up 6.5 per cent over September 2012, according to figures released Thursday by the Toronto Real Estate Board.
The average transaction price for houses and condos combined last month was $533,797.
So far, three-quarters of the way through 2013 — and what was looking, a year ago, like the start of a significant slump in the resale housing market in the wake of tighter mortgage lending rules imposed by Ottawa — some 68,907 houses and condos have changed hands across the GTA.
That's down by just one per cent over the pace of sales recorded by TREB during the same nine-month period of 2012.
The average sale price during that same nine months of 2013 has been $520,118, up more than four per cent from the first three quarters of 2012.
Condos continued a surprising surge, which started this past summer, with sales up 28.8 per cent year over year — up 31.5 per cent in the City of Toronto and 22.3 per cent in the 905 regions.
Average sale prices, however, were down 3.7 per cent in the city but up 2.9 per cent in the suburbs. That resulted in an almost 2 per cent decline in condo prices overall across the GTA from September of 2012 to the same month this year.
"The price growth story in September continued to be about strong demand for low-rise home types, coupled with short supply of listings," says Jason Mercer, TREB's senior manager of market analysis.
"Even with slower price growth and month-to-month volatility in the condo apartment market, overall annual price growth has been well above the rate of inflation this year.
"This scenario will continue to play through the remainder of 2013."
Much of the rush in the market the last few months has been blamed on an unexpected increase in fixed-rate interest rates that started in late spring and has seen buyers trying to purchase before their 90- and 120-day rate commitments expire and they are forced into more costly mortgages.
There has also been some pent-up demand after the cold, wet spring put a damper on what's usually the peak season for sales. Many realtors had expected sales to be unusually high, as a result, well into fall — and the weather has been co-operating so far.
Detached sales were up almost 34 per cent year over year across the GTA, and prices up 7.9 per cent, bringing the average sale price of a detached home in the 416 region to $856,169 and $608,866 in the 905 regions, says TREB.
Semi-detached sales were up more than 20 per cent, with average prices hitting $616,049 in the city and $405,920 in the suburbs.
Townhouse sales climbed by almost 31 per cent. The average 416 townhouse sold for $455,518 in September and $388,727 in the suburbs, up 9.7 per cent overall from September of 2012.
Condo prices slumped 3.7 per cent in the 416 region to an average of $363,149 while the average price of a condo that sold in the 905 regions in September was $290,239, up 2.9 per cent. Mississauga Condos for Sale. Mississauga Homes for Sale

Ponce, in Mexico and with Barbara Kupferberg and David Bradshaw in New York. He gave the Premiere of Dr. Eugene Glick-man's Concerto for Piano, Percussion and Orchestra last year. He was heard on WNCN in a special program featuring the works of Villalobos, Chavez and other composers. He has given many solo recitals on Long Island in which he introduced the music of Kaikhoshru Sorabji and M. M. Ponce. He also composes and teaches piano. The introduction of works by Pars! composer Kaikhosru Shapurji Sorabji in this recital is of special significance. Since the 1930' s the composer has banned public performances of his music. Michael Habermann has special permission to play in public as a result of Sorabji's having heard a taped performance of his music by Habermann. Sorabji is one of the most prolific and original composers of the twentieth century. He has not published arty of his works, however, since many years ago. ASSESSING PROBLEM: Abe SeUin [ right].
