MMIW consultations 'healing' for sister of missing indigenous woman
Carleen Marie went missing in Akwesasne in 1988, and her remains were found 7 weeks later
As the Liberal government holds nationwide pre-inquiry consultations on missing and murdered indigenous women, people like Cheryl McDonald, a Mohawk woman from Kanesatake, are sharing their painful stories.
McDonald was among indigenous people who met with federal ministers Jody Wilson-Raybould, Carolyn Bennett, and Mélanie Joly in Montreal on Friday.
McDonald's sister, Carleen Marie McDonald, went missing in Akwesasne in 1988.
- Missing and murdered indigenous women remembered in annual march
- MMIW inquiry to include allegations of abuse in Val-d'Or
Her remains were found by a deer hunter seven weeks later.
Cheryl McDonald spoke with CBC Montreal's Homerun about the consultations and why it's important for First Nations people to share stories of their missing and murdered loved ones.
Here is some of that conversation:
On why she attended the consultation
This is my second pre-inquiry attendance. It was really just to be a peaceful presence for the families that are coming out for the first time.
For the first time, they're actually coming together as a group with other First Nations and [they] see that they aren't suffering in silence alone anymore, that there is an awakening of families coming forward and telling their tragic and painful stories of loss, and looking for answers, looking for a place where they can express that pain.
On what the consultations are like
Everyone who wants to has a chance to say something. They're given the time they need, they're given support. The ministers are there, listening. It's really [like a] family-structured gathering. You see people from all ages and more and more men coming to these things.
I wasn't sure if I was going to speak again — it's difficult to tell the story over and over again. It seems every time I tell it, it changes a little bit. But it's because I'm learning to get my voice back. I'm learning to tell and share what impact that had on me to lose a sister like that.
On why it's important for First Nations people to share their stories
Being a First Nations person and growing up like that, we do seem kind of stoic in some way. We don't really protest and complain too much and so we don't share like we should.
In my own past, I was a tough Mohawk woman and I could handle everything —no one saw that soft side of me, that injured side that was afraid, and stood back behind the crowd.
[The consultations are] a chance for me to share, not only my tears, but also my strength, and hope and belief that this inquiry is going to do something.
On sharing her sister's story
For 27 years, nobody talked about her — not even in my immediate family circles. [We thought] she was gone and we'll never know what really happened and so we have to move forward.
It wasn't until I came out to one of the gatherings in Quebec that I finally showed that side of me that I showed no one, including my husband who I've been married to for 31 years.
There's a healing in that.
On what it was like to meet the federal ministers
I knew Jody Wilson-Raybould, [but] I didn't know the other ones. They were just like any other woman I've met who is caring, loving and attentive — and then I find out they're ministers.
We're hugging each other, we are creating this kind of family, and for the first time, I have a sense of belonging, that my suffering was not for nothing, that I will help others to get to that point.
On how optimistic she is about the inquiry
Our women, and even our men now, we're finding their bodies and there's no one held responsible for that.
Will it ever give me answers I've been searching for? Maybe not. But knowing that we're going to save lives and give hope and healing, it's going to be worth it for that.
We need to get to know each other, First Nations and Canadians. We're in this country together and I think some kind of bonding, connection is going to take place.

Top 10 Tips When Purchasing a Car
With winter fast approaching, the conditions on the road are becoming dangerous. So making sure you have the right car for the job, is essential. For some of us, our newly bought 2016 Hyundai IONIQ with an ANCAP safety rating of 5 stars might be fine, but for others, their not so reliable 1990 Mitsubishi mirage might not cut it. Yes, sometimes we need to make a change and put ourselves into the market of purchasing a new vehicle. Whether it be an old reliable runner or a classy top of the line head turner, we are bound to go through several cars in our lifetime, so we need to be OK with letting go.
We understand that purchasing a new vehicle is a big decision, so that's why we have composed a top 10 list of things to do or at least take into consideration when purchasing a new or used vehicle.
Approach the buyer with money up front
Having cash on hand gives you a massive advantage as saying no to that can be tough for some sellers. If you can save up and make the payment yourself, then that's great! But if you are in need of a vehicle sooner rather than later, then getting yourself a pre-approved car loan could be the tool for you. Having the finances first would give you more bargaining power, and for another bonus, you would find yourself getting cheaper rates and repayment options if you go to your local credit union rather than a car dealership.
Take a friend with you to inspect the vehicle
The trouble with used cars is the fact that you don't know what's happened to the vehicle in the past. Determining a vehicle's past then becomes even harder to know when you have no idea how a car works, meaning you have no idea on what dangers to look out for. So if this is the case, make sure you bring a friend along who knows their stuff. Whether it be a friend, a family member, or someone you work with. As long as you have someone there who can ask the questions you wouldn't know to ask or inspect the areas you never thought was an issue, you should be good.
Have a checklist sorted to assist with inspection
Can't bring a mate? Well, make sure you read up on what to look out for yourself then. There is a lot to cover, and well you don't have enough time to go pick up the trade and become a qualified mechanic. For an excellent checklist, we recommend the one supplied online by NZ Transport Agency.
Understand your budget
When it comes to purchasing a vehicle, we will all set a budget and create a limit on how much we are willing to spend. Different people have different needs so realising how much your needs might cost, is crucial. If you are after a new off-road toy, then you will set your budget quite high as you will need extra room to cover any additional accessories or expected damages you might receive. If it's a new car, you might get away with just the asking price. However, if it's a used one you'll need some extra money put aside for unexpected repairs you might need in the future.
There are plenty of fish in the sea, and there are even more dealers. Don't be afraid to haggle the price and try to get it lower, as a seller/dealer knows that there are plenty of other vehicles out there for you. The amount the seller is asking for, is most likely well above what they would take. Don't be fooled by the big sticker slapped on the windscreen or the price the private seller asked for in the post. They expect a bit of negotiating so go for it. This is where having your pre-approved car loan and cash in hand comes in handy.
Don't mention trade in's until the end of negotiating
OK, this follows on from our last point of negotiating, but don't mention the fact that you are also willing to trade in your vehicle until you come to the end of your negotiating. We say this as most dealers will have a set point where they don't wish to go below, however, if you inform them that you intend to trade in your current vehicle as well, their lowest price point might take your vehicle into, consideration and they might not go down as low. To put it in perspective;
The dealer's asking price could be $14,000 but the lowest they might sell for could be $11,000. You tell them up front you wish to trade in your vehicle and they offer you $1,000 for it, the lowest they might go down to could be $12,000, meaning they still result in their $11,000 revenue. If we withhold from telling them until the haggling goes down to $11,000, we then can offer the trade in, and the vehicle goes for $10,000 saving you a whole $1,000.
Please test drive
This tip is straightforward, and most of us do take vehicles for test drives, but just in case, please take the car for a ride before you purchase it. You need to assess its comfort levels. But also if it is a pre-owned car, you need to see if it still runs well. All sellers/dealers shouldn't have an issue with you test driving and well, if they do, it's probably a sign that you shouldn't be buying that vehicle.
Do your research
Whether it be on the vehicle or the dealer, find out what you are dealing with and what to expect. You should know the average going price for the model of car you are looking at purchasing. You should know its common faults, regular issues and areas of concerns you should expect. You should know this, so you know where to look as well as what questions to ask. Also if the car in question is a pre-owned used vehicle, having a quick look on sites such as CARJAM will allow you to check the vehicle's history and see if it is stolen or has any ongoing payments needed for it. Research is critical so make sure you do it, find out about the sellers too, as any history you uncover could give you an idea of what to expect in the future.
Be careful of any contractual extras
It pays to read the fine print sometimes when getting into contracts with dealerships. Some dealers will pile on accessory after accessory, extra after extra, just to bump up the cost of the sale and improve their monthly figures. Be wary of this and stay alert to any extras they offer as some of them will get you into locked in contracts. Contracts like extended warranties that force you into using only their dealerships for services, or hidden upgrades or paint protectors that get added on after you make the purchase. Just say no to these extras as most of the time you won't need them or can get them cheaper elsewhere.
Distinguish what you need in your vehicle
Be real with yourself and figure out what you need and not what you want. Sure getting an exotic sports car might be fun, but getting home and having your wife and three kids staring at you wondering how they are all getting to sports practice tomorrow won't be. Determine what you or your family needs in a car and go after that. Is it a people mover? A cheap runner? Or a tiny hatchback so you can find a park in town? Figuring out what you need and sticking to it will help prevent you from making any impulse decisions that you will regret later down the road.
We hope you found our tips on purchasing a car helpful. If you have any questions about getting a pre-approved car loan, check out our website or take a look at our
Loan calculator where you can get a kick start to planning your financial future.

The Price of Health.
I hate conventional health care. I mean I really hate it, which is painful for me to say since I enlisted in the Navy as a Corpsman, volunteered as an EMT and work as a Nurse Aid and was contemplating becoming a Nurse; I once thought of going to Medical School. However comma, my opinion has changed, not in spite of my experience with our health care 'industry,' but because of it.
Recently, I made a decision to go to the hospital via ambulance and get checked out by the local hospitals Emergency Room department. I did this because I was having symptoms of dizzyness, nausea, chest pain, along with muscle twitching and numbness in my bottom three fingers in my left hand. It seemed pretty serious to me.
Normally when I feel in ill health, the first thing I'd do is take a look at my diet; what I'm eating and how often, or I'd drink more water, consider how much I'm exercising, and look at recent changes in lifestyle to account for the suddeness of my symptoms.
But nearly becoming unconcious from an acute manifestation of… something, warrented more immediate action in my book, so I made the decision to call the ambulance.
Short version of the story: I spent over 4 hours being ignored by the hospital staff, had to talk to three different Nurses (all Male and all jawjacking at the nurses station) to get my IV taken out, and in the end it was a Medic who actually bothered to take out the line. One of the Nurses eventually got around to seeing me and gave me shit for letting the Medic take out the IV.
The first person that talked to me upon my arrival to the ER was a 19 year old girl in scrubs with a computer, who wouldn't make eye contact and started by asking for my social security number, my BILLING address, my date of birth, my last name, middle inital, and first name… IN THAT ORDER!!!!
These people wanted to know how they could charge me before they wanted to know why I was there or what potentially life threatening conditions I may or may not have. The Doctor eventually came around after my second hour and asked my symptoms. I told him all the things above, and he told me he didn't know what was wrong. He had NO CLUE. All those years in medical school; $300K invested into his medical education and he couldn't even ball park it. He kept saying that there was nothing he could do and he was very sorry, but he could refer me to people.
If I'd had wanted 'referals' I'd have opened a phone book!!! My vitals were fine, X-Ray came back clean, and blood work showed that I was the picture of friggen health. My electorlytes were normal, CBCs normal, WBCs normal, Urine showed no signs of drugs or alcohol. As far they could tell I was fine and there was nothing they could do for me.
I was having chest pains IN THE ER!! and the EKG and my cardiac enzymes said I was fine. Three of my fingers were numb and they said they'd refer me to a cardiologist!
They discharged me with a diagnosis of "Dehydration." I got news for them, I drink water, I exercise fairly often, I eat healthy; disdaining sugar, vegetable oils, fried foods, caffeine, chemical additives and eat a generally low carb diet. I don't salt my food, but I'm not afraid of salt either. Water and hot Green Tea are about the only things I do drink.
So 'Dehydration' is bullshit. I bring them chest pains and numbness in an extremity and they come back with dehydration. I tell them I drink water and relay my diet to them and they maintain their diagnosis while looking like they couldn't care less about new information.
The fact that I was still experiencing my 'Dehydration' symptoms after they pumped 1000 ml of Normal Saline (NS) solution into me, didn't give them any cause for double checking their statements.
My incident began at about 8pm. When they discharged me it was 1230 am. I only live a short 20 minute car ride away. And I didn't know anyone in Madisonville that I could call to come get me, my parents being asleep after having a few beers; they couldn't (shouldn't) drive even if I woke them up.
So… I hitchhiked home. At 1 oclock in the morning, after receiving such great treatment from our healthcare system.
The cost of this 'advanced medical care?'
$2,742.73 !!!!!
Does anyone else see a problem with this!? THEY DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!!!!
Here are the line items on my bill:
Billed Balance– $1,483.73
Hydration up to 1 hour– $300.00
Hydration add or SEQ hr– $132.00
Account Balance– $2,742.73
I don't even know what this means! What am I being charged for? Hydration is a simple process, just add water, maybe some sodium and it looks like it cost $432 to pump a tall glass of salt water into me. They did decide to X-Ray me, and if it cost me 800 bucks to get an X–ray that I didn't even ask for, I swear these streets will run with blood.
This could bankrupt somebody!! A charge like this (for service like that) could ruin one's financial life. My only safeguard is that I am currently unemployed. Yes, folks. That's right. Not working is to my financial benefit. Apparently, our healthcare system has several programs that help the uninsured homeless and the unemployed pay their medical bills. Its sad that if I actually had the good fortune to have any kind of job, but just happened to not buy insurance because I'm generally healthy, the hospital would actually expect me to pay 3K for that horrible service.
Don't think that this incident didn't make me think about getting health insurance once I get a job. But, I thought about it. And in our society, thinking is 'bad' because if you think about how something works long enough, you'll eventually figure it out. Must be why our government hates critical thinking among the general populace.
The cost of insurance isn't worth it, even in the face of such outrageous medical expenses. Consider this. My mother pays about $200 per month for health insurance, which she uses (only because she has it.) That's $2,400 per year, which is close to my current bill. BUT! Her healthcare is not free, it is only reduced to reasonable prices. Its $30 for an X-Ray and she still pays about $20 everytime she gets a medication and she has a couple of them. It still costs money to go to the doctor's office or to get bloodwork and other tests done.
These charges are IN ADDITION to the $2,400 she pays over the course of a year. Its an interesting ( and hugely profitable dynamic) because if she doesn't get sick in a given year, she basically wasted $2,400 that year. If she does get sick it actually costs her more than $2,400.
And either way the health insurance company wins!!
If she pays and doesn't need their services they've made $2,400 that year off one individual for doing nothing. If she does need their services they have to cover apparently only part of the total cost, which means she's still paying out of pocket, but not as much, which I guess to some people sounds better.
We also have to wonder if the hospitals charge the insurance companies the same thing they charge us? As far as I know the business dealings of my local hospital are not a matter of public record, so I can't just go in and ask to see their books and research insurance expenses.
It makes me wonder… if I had insurance, would it cost my insurance company 2,800 dollars for my bill? Even if I had to pay half, would the hospital charge the ins. company 1,400 bucks? If I'm paying my half do they pay theirs? Maybe ins. companies only get charged what its actually worth like $300. Which would mean the total bill (in this hypotetical case) would actually cost $1700. This would be extremely profitable for the ins. company. They pay $300 while making $2,400 a year off me. That's still a profit of $2,100.
And the benefit to the ins. company wouldn't necessarially lay in their financial profit, since any profit is still profit. The extreme benefit would be in what they made me think that they paid on my behalf.
Consider this: if they're really charged significantly less than what I would have been charged because they have 'deals' with the hospitals, then they pay many times less than I would have even though it appears that they have done me a great favor. I'd be thanking my ins. company for covering such a huge portion of my bill.
But if their protion of my bill was not as large as I am lead to believe, then I would have, in reality, paid them a good deal of money for almost nothing while still paying some out of pocket money, even as they sit back and profit.
And we have not even begun to ask questions about the quality of the service provided for such costs. My friend is sometimes having dizzy spells during the day, so using her insurance she goes to see the Doc, who prescribes her a medication for dizzyness that has a side effect of dizzyness.
Wait… what?
Yes, the medication that is supposed to treat a condition has a side effect that causes the condition it treats. Talk about quality. The Doc also told her that its really the only med she can prescribe for her dizzyness. I just took 30 seconds to Google herbal remedies and found 10, count them 10 herbal remedies to alleviate the symptoms of dizzyness.
Now, I am not as simple as to assume that one herb is going to solve her problems, or that one should be taking herbs (or drugs) based on one symptom. If my casual study of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has taught me anything, its that individual symptoms mean very little and it is best to look at the whole pattern of disharmony before choosing a course of treatment.
But the point is the information she was given. She was told by a highly trained (12 years of school), medical professional (read a science god we've put on a pedestal) that there was only ONE DRUG she could give, and that this was it. I defied this Doc's claim of truth in 30 seconds.
And so I am left to ask a very serious question. Is our health care, advanced though it may be, worth the cost?

Ahmadi doctor shot dead in Mirpurkhas
MIRPURKHAS: A renowned Ahmadi doctor was shot dead by unidentified gunmen in an apparent sectarian attack on Monday. Physician and cardiologist Dr Abdul Manan Siddiqui – who sources said had been receiving threats for several months – was at his Fazl-e-Umar Medical Centre when the gunmen fired at him. Siddiqui died instantly while his guard, Arif, was injured. Pakistan Medical Association Mirpurkhas President Dr Mushtaq Khan has announced a 24-hour strike and demanded the district administration arrest the killers within three days. Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) chief Altaf Hussain condemned Siddiqui's killing in a statement later on Monday, and demanded the authorities immediately arrest those responsible. staff report

Festiva destinations are located near some of the best natural areas in the country. The ocean, the mountains, the lakes and rivers of this great country are all nearby and yours for exploring. That's why we've selected these beautiful places as vacation spots.
And while it may be obvious that time off is good for your health, did you know that timeshares themselves make it easy to stay current with your fitness routine while on vacation?
A recent survey from the American Resort Development Association (ARDA) and conducted by research group Leger, found that more than half (54%) of Americans enjoy fitness activities while on vacation, and timeshare owners are leading this group with nine out of 10 stating they perform fitness activities on vacation. In addition to their proximity to fitness-friendly activities, which we'll discuss shortly, timeshares offer fully equipped kitchens for healthy, local, fresh meals, the square footage needed for a quick in room workout without disturbing others, and longer stays with which to try different fitness activities.
On this Fitness Friday, let's shine a spotlight on some of the fun family activities near our resort locations that you can do to stay active on your next vacation.
Staying Active in Orlando
When staying at Festiva Orlando Resort, there are lots of ways to stay active other than walking around the theme parks.
Paddleboard Orlando offers stand up paddleboard and kayak rental in three locations: Wekiva Island, Lake Killarney, and the paddling center at Shingle Creek. They're experts at accommodating beginners, and offer manatee and moonlight paddles, as well as group or private lessons.
For hiking, paddling, and horseback riding in wild Florida, check out Wekiwa Springs State Park. Located at the headwaters of the Wekiwa River, the vistas within the park offer a glimpse of what Central Florida looked like when the Timucuan Indians fished and hunted these lands.
Kelly Park offers tubing in its free flowing natural spring water. Take a dip in Rock Springs, which is a clear, swift creek, perfect for cooling off in the heat.

Parents of 6th graders - you will need to provide documentation that your child had a Tdap (whooping cough) booster shot given on or after 7 years old. Our goal is to have ALL 6th grade students provide this documentation before the end of May. If you haven't done so already, check your child's immunization record or call your physician to find out when they last had a Tdap vaccination. Once the shot is completed, bring in the immunization record to the school office so we can document that the requirement has been completed. DO NOT WAIT UNTIL SUMMER TO COMPLETE THIS REQUIREMENT.

With all the talk spawning from the XBox One reveal last week, one of the subjects that is sticking hard to gamers is DRM and getting a handle on the Used/Rental Game Market. Now don't get me wrong, I am not a big supporter of the Used market personally but I understand that it is there. As an IT professional we are trained in licensing and accept that you do not see a used software market. So is there a solution that can work for the industry? I think there is a fine line that could work.
Since XB1 has verified they are going to require game installs (that is a whole other subject with a 500gb drive) there is talk of how it could work that would make sense.
Scenario 1 Lending the Game to a Friend:
Johnny buys COD Ghosts new, and his friend Tommy wants to check it out. Johnny has already installed it on his system so when Tommy takes the game to his house it would deactivate Johhny's install so Tommy can play. No Fee, just verifies which console the disk is at. When Tommy brings it back, Johnny puts the disc back in to activate at his house and Tommy's console is now deactivated for the game.
Scenario 2 Rental Services:
Now this situation would work pretty much the same way as lending a game to a friend, but the renter will benefit from the time it takes to send back to the rental company and how ever long it takes for the game to be installed by a next renter. Just as before no fees are needed but once the game reaches another console, it will deactivate the previous install.
Option to Buy:
With the two above scenarios, it is easy to see an option to buy the game to reactivate it via the online store giving the publisher their normal profits and a cut to the console. For the Rental Service, they could have a means of selling an activation code as well letting them get the cut instead of the console online store. This is a win win for everyone and almost how it works now for the Rental Services.
Scenario 3: Used Game Store
Ok so this is where it gets a little more complicated. The key to a Used Game market is buying the game for $X and Selling the game for $Y with the difference equaling a profit. Currently the average difference is about $15 to $30.
For this to work, Johnny would bring his game to the GameStore, and would get $X. The GameStore would then turn around and need to sell the game for $Y but would need to include a reactivation license. Now it would be up to the GameStore to work a deal with the publishers so that at the end of the day the difference between $X and $Y equals enough profit to stay a viable business model and include the required activation codes. But by doing this, the publishers/devs now get their dues from the sale of the game.
At the end of the day that is what the big argument about used game sales have been based on. The current system cuts out the publisher/dev from their part of the sales of their hard work. Now we are not sure how it is going to work with the PS4 yet, but if this solution was adopted I think everyone could accept the process.
What are your thoughts on this? Let us know below.


text: Great questions. I live in PA, so I deal with pretty extreme temps on a seasonal basis. Today it's in the 90's with high humidity. Winters are cold, snowy and windy. I walk my dog (who seems to enjoy every kind of weather) in all of this. So far I haven't really gotten into the cold immersion thing at all, except sometimes ending my shower with a blast of cold. Same thing with the heat…enjoy an infrared sauna every now and then, but nothing I've done on a regular basis. Based on the third question I'm feeling pretty good about my routine:)

Evironmental crisis
This crisis is already happening in some regions of the world, the worst of it is some people are still asking if that is a real issue,and some trust the scentist will find some kind of solution which would put every thing back to "normal" with no adjustment to their way of life.
I have decide to make this into two articles. One with data from diferent sources about global environmental crisis and the othe with my personal opinions on this matter.
Climate change: How big is it?
Climate change is a global problem in which every country or region has developed its own rules and policies. Inspie the efforts made by the international comunity this problem is not only not going, but its effects are worsening with time as several recognized authors state as David Perlman 1) reports last May 24th2).
"With critical problems from climate change to overpopulation threatening the world's environment, scientists at UC Berkeley and Stanford led a call by more than 500 of their international colleagues Thursday for more urgent action to combat the global threats…………………….
…….."By the time today's children reach middle age, it is extremely likely that Earth's life-support systems, critical for human prosperity and existence, will be irretrievably damaged by the magnitude, global extent, and combination of these human-caused environmental stressors, unless we take concrete, immediate actions to ensure a sustainable, high-quality future," the scientists said……..
These recnowned scientists moved California's Governor to show interest on this matter, scientist showed interest in educate policymakers about this problem
………."Brown (California's Governor) received the 20-page initiative Thursday during a Silicon Valley meeting at the Ames Research Center in Mountain View. It was signed by 520 researchers on environmental issues, led by UC Berkeley paleontologist Anthony Barnosky and Stanford biologist Elizabeth Hadly."
"Brown was so struck by the tipping point evidence, Barnosky recalled, that he asked in phone conversations why if "global change was such a big deal," that the scientists so often talked only to themselves about it, and only published their evidence in obscure scientific journals. His questions were well taken, Barnosky said.
"Now our statement is designed to educate policymakers and the public everywhere about the real urgency of the evidence," Barnosky said.
News from the world
Every day, news about this matter show just how real it is, and, how little we are achieving with our pesent efforts. For instance lets see a news selection from the online environmental news source Mongabay 3)
- Water crisis widening: 4.5 billion people live near 'impaired water sources'
(05/28/2013) The majority of the 9 billion people on Earth will live with severe pressure on fresh water within the space of two generations as climate change, pollution and over-use of resources take their toll, 500 scientists have warned.
- Improving food and water efficiency a must for the next generation
(12/05/2012) This summer, while climate change silence reigned in the U.S. presidential race, the Stockholm International Water Institute's conference for World Water Week focused on the global initiatives required in order to live with its effects. The report, titled "Feeding a Thirsty World," garnered the most publicity with the assertion that agricultural water scarcity and an increasing population would force the world to reduce average meat and dairy consumption down to just 5% of all calories by 2050. At present, 20% of the average human diet is made up from animal proteins.
- A new world?: carbon dioxide concentrations in atmosphere hit 400 ppm
(05/11/2013) For the first time since homo sapiens evolved, concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere have struck 400 parts per million (ppm) due to burning fossil fuels. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) reports that readings of carbon dioxide at Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii hit the symbolic number on Thursday and are expected to continue rising in coming years. The last time concentrations were this high for a sustained period was 4-5 million years ago when sea levels were 5-40 meters higher than today and the poles were 10 degrees Celsius hotter. During this epoch, forests grew along the shores of the Arctic Ocean and coral reefs were almost wholly absent.
- Biosphere conservation: monumental action is critical to avert global environmental crisis
- China to phase out super greenhouse gas
- 'Carbon bubble' could cause next global financial crisis
- Last 30 years were the warmest in the last 1,400 years
- Global warming - 56 million years ago
- Climate Summit in Doha characterized by lack of ambition
- Animals dissolving due to carbon emissions
- 'No-one is listening to the entire scientific community': global carbon emissions set to hit new high
And this is only a small sample of the word about how critical and wide spread this problem is, criticism is not uncommon on this documents4)5)6) but the origin of this arguments might be due to lack od knowledge and understanding from one side to the other and vice versa.
What is the U.S. Government stand
So what is the U.S. Policy on this matter, this is really slippery ground, since there is no official policy stated, yet the government recognizes there is a climate change and something needs to be done. government agencies involved, such as EPA7) and the DoE8) have their own statements and policies each.
The Environmental Protection Agency
"What is EPA Doing About Climate Change?
EPA is taking a number of common-sense steps to address the challenge of climate change. Read a summary of EPA's efforts to reduce carbon pollution in testimony by Gina McCarthy, Assistant Administrator for EPA's Office of Air and Radiation, to Congress on June 29, 2012.(16 pp)
- Collecting Emissions Data
EPA collects various types of greenhouse gas emissions data. This data helps policy makers, businesses, and the Agency track greenhouse gas emissions trends and identify opportunities for reducing emissions and increasing efficiency.
**The Inventory of U.S. Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Sinks, provides the United States' official estimate of total national-level greenhouse gas emissions. This report tracks annual U.S. greenhouse gas emissions since 1990.
**The Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program collects and publishes emissions data from individual facilities in the United States that emit greenhouse gases in large quantities.
- Getting Reductions
EPA is reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting a clean energy economy through highly successful partnerships and common-sense regulatory initiatives.
**Developing Common-sense Regulatory Initiatives: EPA is developing common-sense regulatory initiatives, to reduce GHG emissions and increase efficiency. For example, EPA's vehicle greenhouse gas rules, will save consumers $1.7 trillion at the pump by 2025, and eliminate six billion metric tons of GHG pollution.
**Partnering With the Private Sector: Through voluntary energy and climate programs, EPA's partners reduced over 345 million metric tons of greenhouse gases in 2010 alone - equivalent to the emissions from 81 million vehicles - and saving consumers and businesses of about $21 billion.
**Reducing EPA's Carbon Footprint: EPA is monitoring emissions from its own energy use and fuel consumption and working to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 25% by 2020. Learn more about federal greenhouse gas requirements and EPA's Strategic Sustainability Performance Plan(74 pp)."
And they do other things like:
- Evaluating Policy Options, Costs and Benefits
- Advancing the Science
- Partnering Internationally
- Partnering With States, Localities, and Tribes
- Helping Communities Adapt"
The Department of Energy
The Department of Energy (DOE) has their saying, and their actions CLIMATE CHANGE
"The Office of Climate Change Policy and Technology (PI-50), located within the Office of Policy and International Affairs (PI), serves as the focal point within the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for the development, coordination, and implementation of DOE-related aspects of climate change technical programs, policies, and initiatives. The mission of the Office of Climate Change Policy and Technology is to accelerate the development and deployment of advanced technologies and best practices to mitigate climate change…….."
The issue is treated seriously by the government, this is shown in the budget destined for research and development activities.
"The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) provided just over $25 billion in additional funding for research and development across a broad portfolio of GHG mitigation options, including: high-performance buildings; efficient manufacturing; advanced vehicles; clean biofuels; wind, solar, geothermal, and nuclear power; carbon capture and sequestration; advanced energy storage; a more intelligent electric grid; and techniques for reducing emissions and/or increasing uptake of carbon dioxide in agriculture and forestry. The ARRA also provided over $400 million for establishing the Advanced Research and Projects Agency–Energy (ARPA-E) within DOE to overcome the long-term and high-risk technological barriers to the development of clean energy technologies."
The Office of Climate Change Policy and Technology has it own site, and there they describe their role9) as:
About the Office of International Climate Change Policy and Technology
"The Office of International Climate Change Policy and Technology within the Office of Policy and International Affairs (PI) serves as the focal point for international climate change and clean energy activities within the United States Department of Energy (DOE). The Office coordinates DOE participation in international forums that focus on these topics, such as the Clean Energy Ministerial, United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. It also develops and implements international climate change and clean energy initiatives consistent with Administration policy objectives and coordinates the related efforts of other DOE program offices. In doing so, the Office works cooperatively with other agencies and with other offices within DOE."
Independent organizations look at the role which the U.S. is playing in the global field, there is a very recent book based on government sources of data from the regions and countries of the world which contribute the most to the greenhouse gasses and global warming. The aim of the researching team who put together this work is to gather the success different plans and policies for emissions control and compare them against each other.
International stand
In their book the orginization Climate Policy Initiative (CPI) state, the regions they work with, why, and the kind of data they gathered
"Climate Policy Initiative10) (CPI) has offices and programs in six regions: Brazil, China, Europe, India, Indonesia, and the United States. This report covers all of these regions except Indonesia, and thus represents slightly more than half of the world's population and close to two-thirds of global greenhouse gas emissions. These countries vary widely in terms of economic development, natural resource endowment, political system, and climate policy, and can offer different lessons to policymakers" Book from the Climate Policy Initiative 11)
Tim McDonnell wrote about this book and their stand on the U.S. Climate policy at the Grist 12) "Yesterday the Climate Policy Initiative released a sweeping overview of climate change policies across the globe. It paints a picture of the U.S. that climate hawks might find distressingly, if familiarly, chaotic: A tangle of federal subsidies, differing state-level clean energy mandates, and a host of natural resources, from wind to coal to natural gas, scrambling for political favor. "What makes the U.S. unique is that we have no overall climate strategy where all these policies fit," said David Nelson, a CPI researcher and lead author of the report, which describes the thicket of state and federal climate policies as "messy but useful," in that it lacks clarity and direction but can, with luck, produce results." "The surprising thing, Nelson said, is that while the U.S.'s approach to dealing with climate change lacks the focus of, say, the E.U.'s carbon trading market, it must be doing something right: Carbon dioxide emissions have fallen 13 percent in the last seven years, and yesterday the EPA announced that greenhouse gas emissions fell 1.6 percent from 2010 to 2011."

Down Syndrome baby abandoned, surrogate mum has no money to treat him
His Australian parents allegedly abandoned him when they found out he has Down Syndrome.
Now, his Thai surrogate mother is trying to raise funds for the six-month-old's care.
She has received over A$50,000 (S$58,000) in donations after the couple allegedly refused to take him home.
The Sydney Morning Herald reported that Gammy could die because his impoverished Thai surrogate mother cannot pay for treatment of his congenital heart condition.
The Australians had offered 21-year-old Pattharamon Janbua A$11,700 (S$13,500) to carry their baby. But after she gave birth to twins - a boy and a girl - they only took the girl home.
The couple, who remained anonymous, reportedly told Ms Janbua to have an abortion when they found out four months into the pregnancy that one of the babies had Down syndrome.
"I would like to tell Thai women – don't get into this business as a surrogate," Ms Janbua was quoted as saying.
"Don't just think only of money ... if something goes wrong no one will help us and the baby will be abandoned from society, then we have to take responsibility for that."
Ms Janbua is a Buddhist and believes abortion is a sin.
She originally agreed to become a surrogate mother because of her family's financial problems. The arrangement was set-up through an agency.
She alleged that the agent has yet to pay her the entire amount promised.
A Hope For Gammy campaign was set up on Go Fund Me and has been inundated by donations, Mail Online reported.
Parents slammed
In the comments posted to the page by donors, Gammy's Australian parents have been viciously attacked.
"What a disgrace these parents are (if you can call them parents)," one person wrote.
Another said: "Honestly who ever they are they don't deserve to be parents in abandoning (their) son just because he is sick, how dare they even be called parents, shame on them.
"I too hope they are found and held accountable for this."
Meanwhile latest reports said the baby has been rushed to hospital with a lung infection, and the mum feels that he will not make it.

Today is exactly a year since the terrible murder of Lee Rigby in Woolwich. The world was shocked as it watched a soldier being hacked down in broad day light by two terrorists. While the perpetrators have been served life imprisonment, conversations still continue as to how we can stop our young people from being radicalised.
John Wilson Street, the major road connecting to exactly where the murder took place last year, was thrust into the media through this horrific event. While I am glad that justice has been served to the two perpetrators, I have been trying to find out more about the person the street was named after. Part of the reason for this search is because I recently became the pastor of Woolwich Central Baptist Church, a church one could say was founded by Rev Dr John Wilson.
John Wilson was one of the most significant church and public leaders in nineteenth century England. As the pastor of Woolwich Tabernacle (which merged together with Conduit Road Baptist in 1969 to form my church, Woolwich Central Baptist), John exercised leadership influence across this country and particularly in Woolwich. And it was to recognise his immense contribution to society that the main street in Woolwich was named after him.
John Wilson exercised pastoral ministry and leadership over Woolwich Tabernacle for sixty one years (1877-1938), making him the longest serving Baptist minister in one pastorate. Before today's mega churches in Woolwich (such as New Wine Church, seating about 3,000, and Woolwich's own Pentecostal cathedral Christ Faith Tabernacle, led by Apostle Alfred Williams) there was Woolwich Tabernacle which sat about 2,500 people in the nineteenth. Who then his John Wilson?
John Wilson was born in May 1854 near Forfar in Scotland. His parents feared God and believed that their ten children were gifts from God to be trained for God's kingdom. Although he was brought up in a Christian family, nevertheless during his teen years he had lots of questions. He was invited to a YMCA meeting where he listened to the stories of Christian young men and realised that they possessed what he wanted. He studied the Scriptures at the home of the YMCA manager and later described his conversion experience; "That morning I saw dimly as in the distance the light that led to the gate, the Cross, and the Kingdom of God."
He began ministering by distributing books house to house and preaching. and was inspired and captivated by the preaching power and personality of the American evangelist DL Moody.
John attended Spurgeon's new college in London, and after ministering in Chiswick and Launceston in Cornwall John was sent to a needy church in Woolwich, serving as their student-pastor while studying. Woolwich as an area was very different from his previous country-side assignments, and was much needier than he had imagined, with lots of slums, lodging houses and crowded bars. Their chapel was so dilapidated that one day the floor even gave way and a member of the congregation fell through into a grave! John continued ministering in these difficult conditions, and after finishing his studies in 1877 became the full- time pastor there.
An incident occurred in 1878 that became a turning point in John Wilson's ministry at Woolwich. The S.S Princess Alice sunk, losing about 600 people including the captain. It was a national calamity and many members of John Wilson's church were bereaved by the ship wreck. John conducted the mass funeral, young and inexperienced as he was (although on later reflection he realised he should have involved other ministers in the area). He had the tremendous responsibility as well as opportunity to conduct the funeral service for three hundred people. He prayed for the right words of comfort and hope to say and God helped him.
Since holding the mass funeral John became not just the pastor of the Baptist church at Woolwich but of the whole Woolwich Arsenal area, and people began to talk about him and attend his church. The church continued to grow until the chapel was overcrowded, and even in a new church building with bigger facilities they were soon also filled to overcrowding, having to build galleries and hold two services to accommodate the numbers.
John Wilson started a conversational Bible class which proved very successful. He invited politician as well as preachers to speak on different subjects, covering various issues facing people in Woolwich and London in general. This included Trade Unions, the family, economics, business, health, apologetics, missionary movements, church history and poetry. These lectures became a meeting point for the churched and un-churched, and became so successful that they moved to Woolwich's assembly rooms which could seat about eight hundred people, though soon about nine hundred were attending! Many of these people later started attending the church and a number of them rose to influential positions in society.
The church continued to grow and planted other churches and mission stations in New Beckton (across the river Thames) and elsewhere. They soon outgrew another building and decided they needed to build a Tabernacle to meet the increasing numbers.
Members of the church as well as people from outside gave money, but it was not enough. A member of the church then miraculously inherited a large legacy and gave this large sum. In total the Tabernacle was built with £14,000, all contributed by members of the church as well as people in society who believed in the leadership and ministry of John Wilson. The new Tabernacle building was opened and dedicated on 8 July 1896 by Thomas Spurgeon (CH Spurgeon's son).
John Wilson was very committed to Woolwich, to the extent that he rejected lots of lucrative positions in places such as Oxford University. He was also a prominent member of the Baptist denomination, but so great was John's love and commitment to Woolwich as an area that when he was asked to be the principal of the Baptist's Spurgeon's College, he refused the offer.
John's name became as synonymous with Woolwich as Spurgeon's was with London. John Wilson was truly an apostle to Woolwich as he served the people of Woolwich Arsenal and the Dockyard. Beyond his church John engaged with various issues that faced an average working class person during the industrial revolution, of which Woolwich was an integral part.
John also worked with the Mayor of Woolwich and the civil authorities, and was awarded an MBE for services among the troops at Woolwich during World War One. In 1907, when he visited a friend in Texas, USA, Baylor University conferred on him the title of Doctor of Divinity. In 1937, his Diamond Jubilee (60 years as pastor in Woolwich) was an occasion for joyous celebrations, with the council as well as the church celebrating for a period of sixteen days. Eminent theologians and ministers of the day attended the celebration. During this occasion John was Wilson enrolled as a Freeman of the Borough of Woolwich.
In 1938, at the ripe age of 84, Rev Dr John Wilson passed away at his home in Charlton survived by his wife, two sons and three daughters.
John Wilson is an example of a public leader who engaged and connected with his community. The issues facing the society of his time became his issues and that of his church. He exercised an incarnational ministry that touched people spiritually, politically, economically and socially. Today we need more public leaders like John Wilson, prepared to move beyond church walls and meet the real needs of the communities around them, and inspire others to do the same.

Madison County wants to help you test for radon at home
WOOD RIVER — January is "Radon Awareness Month" and the Madison County Health Department emphasizes the importance of getting you're home tested.
The department offers radon test kits for $6 each for residents to use to check the radon level in their homes. The $6 includes all testing fees and pre-paid postage to mail the kit for your results. Radon is a significant environmental cancer risk and is the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers and the second leading cause of lung cancer among smokers.
Residents can come to the health department, located at 101 E. Edwardsville Road in Wood River, to purchase a radon test kit between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.
"With the presence of radon in this geographic area, we encourage residents to take advantage of this opportunity and test for radon in their homes," said Erin Boester, the health department's health protection manager.
More than 20,000 lung cancer deaths each year in the U.S. are caused by radon exposure.
Since radon is a colorless, odorless and invisible gas that occurs naturally in the soil that seeps into the soil. When radon seeps into the home, the only way to detect it is to test for it.
Radon is the natural breakdown of uranium and radium in rock formations. Radon can seep through cracks in a home's foundation from the surrounding soil.
Sump pits, gaps in suspended floors, construction joists and exposed soil within crawl spaces are all areas where radon may find a way into your home. Groundwater and water from wells can also introduce radon into the home but the risk is much smaller. Once inside, radon can build up and create a hazard.
Testing for radon is easy, inexpensive and convenient – taking only three days. Tests should be performed on the lowest level of the home that is frequently occupied. Do not test in kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms or utility rooms.
Radon is measured in picocuries per liter of air (pCi/L), a measurement of radioactivity. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the average indoor radon level in the U.S. is about 1.3 pCi/L.
The Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) reports that the average indoor radon level is about 4.9pCi/L. The U.S. Surgeon General and EPA recommend repairing homes with radon levels at or above 4pCi/L. The EPA also recommends fixing homes with radon levels between 2pCi/L and 4pCi/L.
When residents buy a kit, a health department staff member will help them with instructions, give them valuable information about radon, its measurement and mitigation. For more information, call (618) 296-6079. For more information about National Radon Action Month, visit https://www.cpa.gov/radon. For more information about radon, visit http://www.co.madison.il.us/departments/health/radon.php or IEMA at www.radon.illinois. Gov.

A funny man from a different time
The death of comic actor Norman Wisdom, following on from the earlier loss of Tony Curtis, reminded us that, like the first World War, the great names who established the twentieth century entertainment industry will soon be confined to recorded history rather than the memories of those who were actually there.
As a comic, and like many of his ilk, Wisdom seemed to attract affection and opprobrium in equal measure. Comedy is a strange beast and God knows why we laugh at what we do. I found Norman's antics as Norman Pitkin daft to the point of hilarity, while others just found him plain annoying. And I can't explain why Wisdom's pratfalls made me laugh whereas his later acolyte, Michael Crawford, as Frank Spencer, irritated the hell out of me. Maybe it's something to do with what lies behind the humour. Crawford was an established stage and screen actor when he took the role of Frank Spencer – it was just another job for him, albeit hugely successful. Wisdom, on the other hand, always seemed to blur the line between the pathetic clown he played for laughs and his own personality which had been built on a rather desperate childhood.
And, it has to be said, the public love a comic with a touch of misery about him. The recent versions of the self hating lives of Frankie Howerd and Kenneth Williams have been welcomed with great acclaim, but the doyen of the tragic clown in our times must be the late lamented Tony Hancock. In fact, it has got to the stage that Hancock is probably more famous to younger generations for his decline and miserable end than for his classic comic talent.
Norman Wisdom though always seemed to live a pluckily cheerful life and never cashed in on his unfortunate start in life – so that when he revealed his origins, near the end of his active performing life, most of his audience were totally surprised. Hancock, on the other hand, came from a comfortable background, but had to face the twin demons of his obsession with perfecting his comedy and the resultant alcohol addiction. You might say that while Wisdom sought to optimistically outgrow his origins, Hancock suffered from having had the security to self reflect, and was capsized by what he found.
There is a common link between these two great twentieth century comics though, and that is the attempt to shed their original screen personae and adopt a more mature and thoughtful relationship with their comedy.
For Hancock, it was the result of merciless tinkering with his genius, to try and keep improving it. He felt smothered by 'The Lad from East Cheam' and, in his attempt to throw off the shackles, was ruthless in his demolition of partners, writers and associates who could have guided his course better and more surely than he was able himself to do.
His two big screen moments – 'The Rebel' and 'The Punch and Judy Man' – were patchy in execution, but had enough brilliant moments to suggest that, with more self belief and better guidance, Hancock could well have reached the heights of Tati. The last four minutes of the clip below, from the Brighton-based 'Punch and Judy Man' are a clear illustration of that.
Norman Wisdom was in a slightly different position. He was grounded enough to realise the effect of what he did best – not least through the adulation he received in the simplistic society fostered by the isolationist Albania for many years. For all that, it was also clear to him that, as he got older, and tastes changed, Norman Pitkin had had his day.
As it happened, his attempt to bury Pitkin and change his approach also took place at the seaside, though in his case, the venue was very convenient for me as a 15 year old.
Birkdale, in Lancashire, where I lived for ten years in the sixties, is chiefly famous for its Open venue golf course, but, as a suburb of Southport, was originally a place for 'sea bathing', as they put it in the 19th century. When, in mid century, Victoria put it about that she was seeking a 'summer palace' by the sea, a number of tycoons made it their business to build grand hotels on the coast, hoping they would be the chosen site, and, on that basis, Birkdale got its Palace Hotel.
It was 200 feet long, with 1000 rooms and over 200 bedrooms and suites. It had its own station and guests could fly into the adjacent Birkdale sands aerodrome. Through its history it provided all the expected delights of a Hydropathic establishment: croquet, horse riding, tennis, billiards, dancing, conference facilities, but the failure of the old Queen to honour it with her presence meant it always struggled to survive. From 20s to 40s it had its moments, with Clark Gable and Sinatra staying there, but by the sixties it was hopelessly outdated and impossible to maintain. The Hungarian football team made it their base for the 1966 World Cup, but when they left without paying their bills the receiver was called in.
Enter Norman Wisdom – or to be more precise, well known British film producer Tony Tenser and director Menahem Golan. Tensers production company, Tigon Films, leased the hotel and, in 1967-68 made two films there. The second of these was The Haunted House of Horror, after which Tenser approached the local council with the idea of a joint purchase of the hotel to establish a film studio, which they rejected. However, the first film made at 'Birkdale Palace Studios' was scripted by its star – Norman Wisdom, and called 'What's Good for the Goose'.
In this very dated film, Norman plays a bored and boring bank employee, who, having give a lift to a couple of 'ravers' on his way to a conference, sheds his inhibitions and embarks on an affair with a very young Sally Geeson.
This was 1967, of course, and Wisdom may have felt it the perfect time to shed Norman Pitkin, wave farewell to Mr Grimsdale and leap into bed with a dolly bird. However, the public, though they may have been tiring of Pitkin, weren't ready for this change of direction by the star, even though the relationship didn't seem quite as sleazy at the time as it does to us today. Unfortunately, the film was mediocre at best, as this clip of the opening scenes vividly illustrates,
It was the last film Wisdom starred in and he took some time to recover from the panning it received. Happily, his endeavour to be received as a serious actor did bear fruit, albeit more than twenty years later, when he did win recognition as a talented straight performer.
Like most folk, though, I prefer to honour him for the laughs he gave as hapless Norman Pitkin, and I still remember fondly the months he spent at the bottom of our road making his bid for serious acceptance as an actor.
He represents a time when perhaps we looked for humour that was more simple than cutting, more gentle than brutal and he gave a lot of people pleasure during a long life.
His signature tune ran 'Don't laugh at me because I'm a fool', but he was anything but that; a funny man from a different time.
