Marshall Undergoes Surgery
The Columbus Dispatch - October 31, 2012 03:39 PM
For the second time in a year, Chad Marshall has undergone offseason surgery on his right ankle. The Crew defender and captain had arthroscopic surgery to shave a bone that was pinching a nerve and causing pain, but he is expected to be full-go by the time the 2013 season gets underway.
"It's nothing major," head coach Robert Warzycha said. "It's nothing that's going to stop him from playing."
The injury is expected to sideline Marshall for 6-10 weeks.
The veteran holds Crew records in games played (223), started (220) and minutes played (19,582). All were set this season, his ninth with the club. The Crew signed Marshall to an extension last winter that will keep him in uniform through 2015.
After suffering a concussion earlier this season, Marshall missed eight games but returned to the lineup and started 17 straight. The ankle flared up before the Crew's road match against D.C. United, and he was scratched from the lineup less than a half hour before the opening kickoff. He did not play in the Crew's final regular-season game.
"He played with this all year," Warzycha said. "He had a cortisone shot to deal with the inflammation but at the end of the season the pain was too big for him to play."

The Most Fashionable Rooms of the Week
Airbnb, the online marketplace to list and book homes across the world, descended on Los Angeles earlier this month to celebrate the city and bring some star-studded style to their listings. The company set up "pop up listings"—pre-fab studios by Kithaus—in key LA locales and enlisted celebrities such as James Franco, Anjelica Huston, Molly Sims, and Lake Bell. We're peeking into Bell and Sims's spaces—designed in collaboration with Justina Blakeney and duo Kelly Harris and Paige Appel, respectively—to see how the stars tackled small space decorating.
Lake Bell, working with Justina Blakeney, was inspired by a range of colors (from eggplant to copper), pop icons (such as Woody Allen and Patti Smith), and travel (including Italy and Morocco.)
Small Space Tips to Take Away
-A tented ceiling lends the room an open, airy feel
-"Extend" the room to the outdoors via a glass wall (or large windows)
-Bring in larger-than-life artworks to serve as a focal point

National Strategy for Serious Injury Reduction in Amateur Sport Act
Routine Proceedings
10:05 a.m.
Glenn Thibeault Sudbury, ON
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-319, An Act respecting a national strategy to reduce the incidence of serious injury in amateur sport.
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to stand in the House to introduce this bill entitled, "National Strategy for Serious Injury Reduction in Amateur Sport Act". This legislation would mandate that the federal government convene a conference of first ministers of health, as well as members of the athletic, medical and health communities in order to implement a strategy for tackling this growing public health concern.
Specifically, the bill outlines a strategy for the federal government to create a national sports injury surveillance and data collection system, establish substantive concussion guidelines, including a sufficient deterrent mechanism to ensure athletes are not being returned to play against expressed medical recommendations, create national training and educational standards for coaches and other persons involved in amateur sport, and institute incentivized funding guidelines to assist amateur sport organizations in implementing these protocols.
Since introducing a similar bill in the last Parliament, I have received overwhelming support from right across the country on this bill. It is my hope that my colleagues from across the aisle will assist me in getting the national sports injury reduction strategy passed as soon as possible.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed)
Official Languages Act
Routine Proceedings
October 4th, 2011 / 10:05 a.m.
Maria Mourani Ahuntsic, QC
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-320, An Act to amend the Official Languages Act (Charter of the French Language) and to make consequential amendments to other Acts.
Mr. Speaker, as you certainly know, Quebec is a francophone nation, not a bilingual one. This nation has enacted legislation called Bill 101, the Charter of the French Language, which obviously applies to all the institutions under its jurisdiction as well as to most spheres of life.
This bill, an Act to amend the Official Languages Act (Charter of the French Language) and to make consequential amendments to other Acts, would require the federal government to undertake not to obstruct the application of the Charter of the French Language in Quebec. In other words, it means that that Bill 101 would apply to all federal institutions in Quebec.
I encourage all my colleagues from Quebec to support this important bill to protect our language, be it in provincial, municipal, educational or federal institutions.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed)
Canada Post Corporation Act
Routine Proceedings
10:05 a.m.
Merv Tweed Brandon—Souris, MB
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-321, An Act to amend the Canada Post Corporation Act (library materials).
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to introduce this bill, as I have in previous times in the House.
This bill moves to guarantee a postal rate for libraries for interchange and to provide books to Canadians at a reduced postal rate. It also moves to increase the access, including the definition of library material from books, magazines, records, CDs, CD-ROMs, audiovisual cassettes, DVDs and other audiovisual materials.
I would advise members of the House that this bill had been passed unanimously by all members of Parliament in the last session and had gone to the Senate just prior to the call of the election.
I look forward to moving this bill forward again.

Pat Martin Winnipeg Centre, MB
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to present a petition today signed by literally thousands of Canadians from all across Canada who call upon Parliament to take note that asbestos is the greatest industrial killer that the world has ever known.
The petitioners point out that more Canadians now die from asbestos than all other industrial and occupational causes combined and yet Canada continues to be one of the largest producers and exporters of asbestos in the world. They call upon Parliament to take note that Canada also spends millions of dollars subsidizing the asbestos industry and blocking international efforts to curb its use.
Therefore, the petitioners call upon the government to ban asbestos in all of its forms and institute a just transition program for any displaced asbestos workers and the communities in which they live. They call upon the government to end all subsidies of asbestos both in Canada and abroad and to stop blocking international health and safety conventions designed to protect workers from asbestos, such as the Rotterdam Convention.
Routine Proceedings
10:10 a.m.
Geoff Regan Halifax West, NS
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to present a petition from residents of Nova Scotia who draw the attention of the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans to the need for his department to fund a two year program to restock the Sackville River with salmon.
This request follows an act of vandalism in November 2009 when some idiot cut an oil line to an oil tank and caused the leakage of several hundred litres of furnace oil to run into the Little Sackville River. It was a terrible moment. It was a stupid thing to do.
After more than 20 years of work by residents and, in particular, the Sackville Rivers Association, the once polluted Sackville River could once again support fish life. This, of course, was a setback. That work has been undone by this oil spill.
Therefore, the petitioners ask the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans to immediately fund a two year restocking program for the Sackville River and assist the Sackville Rivers Association in any remediation the river habitat may require.

David Tilson Dufferin—Caledon, ON
Madam Speaker, I have a petition from Canadians across the country who are concerned about a large mega quarry in Melancthon Township in Dufferin County, Ontario, which will be the largest open pit quarry in Canada of over 2,300 acres. It will be about three miles across.
The petitioners are concerned about a number of things, one of which is based on the proposed mega quarry application. There are distinct issues relating to the use of water operations based on NAFTA considerations that may have a substantially negative financial implication federally and provincially.
These petitioners call upon the Government of Canada to conduct an environmental assessment under the authority of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act on a proposed Highland Companies mega quarry development.

Opposition Motion--National Suicide Prevention Strategy
Business of Supply
Government Orders
10:10 a.m.
Bob Rae Toronto Centre, ON
That the House agree that suicide is more than a personal tragedy, but is also a serious public health issue and public policy priority; and, further, that the House urge the government to work cooperatively with the provinces, territories, representative organizations from First Nations, Inuit, and Métis people, and other stakeholders to establish and fund a National Suicide Prevention Strategy, which among other measures would promote a comprehensive and evidence-driven approach to deal with this terrible loss of life.
Madam Speaker, I think all of us in the House will recognize and understand that suicide is something that has touched all of us in one way or the other, either as family members or as friends. What we have also come to realize more and more is that this issue can no longer be regarded simply as one of a personal tragedy, which it undoubtedly is, but it also needs to be recognized as a political issue in the sense that it is an issue that the public needs to take notice of. The good news in all of this is that, if we take notice of it and take action, there are actually things we can do to reduce the number of people who lose their lives in this very tragic way.
The statistics, frankly, are overwhelming in the industrial world. We have a relatively high suicide rate in Canada. We are the only modern industrial country that does not have a national strategy to reduce the level of suicide, to save lives in a very significant way.
I think Canadians would be surprised to learn some of the statistics. The fact that over the last 30 years at least 100,000 Canadians have taken their own life, which is a truly remarkable number.
Today, the president of the Canadian Psychiatric Association told us that around the world last year nearly one million people took their own lives. We have developed this capacity as societies to take statistics and to get the numbers but it is important for us as a country to take the steps that will make a difference.
Clearly, if we demonstrate the political will to do something, we can find solutions. For example, non-partisan discussions were held in Quebec and people agreed that the number of young people taking their own lives was far too high and that it was completely unacceptable. The province decided to do something. Quebec insisted that the topic be discussed in schools in order to open the dialogue, fight the stigma and ensure that no subject would be taboo.
We must do everything we can to encourage youth to talk about their emotional health. It should be noted that in Quebec, the youth suicide rate has dropped dramatically in the past 10 years. However, the rest of Canada has not had the same kind of success and within federal jurisdiction we are seeing a completely unacceptable suicide rate among veterans, former soldiers and aboriginals—all in a society known for its compassion and openness.
I hope we can all agree that a good society is, among other things, a place where people care about each other. It is a place where, quite simply, we care about what happens to ourselves, we care about what happens to our families, we care about what happens to our friends. However, our compassion does not end at the end of our garden. Our compassion extends to our neighbours. Our understanding of what we in Canada face has to include the fact that there are a great many Canadians who today are in turmoil. Today, this day, as many as 10 people will take their own lives. We could all through a bit of imagination think about who those people are.
I think of a young girl living on a native reserve. Perhaps she has been abused as a child. Perhaps she is living in a house where there are as many as 10, 12 or 15 people sharing a room. She goes to school and on the computer at school she sees a very different world. She sees a world of wealth. She sees a world of opportunity. She sees a world of affluence. She looks around her community and she sees the opposite. She asks herself, "Where is the hope? What hope do I have?".
I think of a young boy who discovers in his early adolescence that he is gay. He realizes that his sexual identity is not that of the majority of people in his classroom. He sees himself in a different way and is looking to find the ways in which he can be as much a person as the person sitting next to him at school. Because he is seen as different, he is bullied. Perhaps one of his classmates starts making fun of him on the Internet, starts singling him out.
I think of the young teenagers who are in turmoil for all kinds of reasons, all of the biological and hormonal and other changes that are happening and the bewildering world in which they live and in which they have to show themselves to be okay. They are not allowed to be anything other than okay. Perhaps they live in a house where it is hard for them to say, "I'm not okay".
I think of the veterans who come back from the trauma of the battlefield in Afghanistan who are never allowed to show weakness on the battlefield, who are never allowed to show a moment of vulnerability. When they return, they find a world where they do not know how to be vulnerable. They do not know how to deal with the world in which they are now living, the mundane everyday world in which most of us live every day.
We cannot explain all of the circumstances.
The number of seniors, for example, who take their own lives is remarkably high, maybe for reasons that have to do with their loneliness, with their vulnerability, with their having felt that they have lived a life and now cannot find meaning or purpose to where they are.
Mental health issues affect one in five Canadians, yet it is an issue that is rarely discussed. We have fundraising drives for breast cancer, prostate cancer, heart conditions and all of the other physical maladies, as well we should, but we do not have a run for suicide. We do not do a walk for schizophrenia very often. We do not talk about depression a great deal. We let people suffer in silence. We pretend that it is not a problem.
We have made progress. It is not as bad as it was in days gone by. We have changed the legal structures. We have accepted as a society and have learned how to celebrate sexual identity. The Prime Minister gave a wonderful speech in the House, a statement of reconciliation with the first nations people. We have made some of the steps that we need to make to begin to create a climate of hope, a climate of mutual care, a climate of love, but our actions do not follow the words.
The motion that is before the House today is one which says let us talk about this. Let us have a conversation where we discuss frankly and candidly what should not be happening in this country.
Gay kids should not be bullied in school. Schools need to learn how to help kids celebrate who they are whatever their sexual identity. We should celebrate who we are. That is the meaning of dignity. If we are a society that believes in dignity, compassion and care, every child has to have pride in that identity and pride in who he or she is. And it goes well beyond childhood.
Having talked about the motion with some colleagues and having decided to put it forward as an opposition day motion, I hope we will have the support of the whole House. I hope we will have a good conversation today. I hope this will be an opportunity for the House to show itself as it can be when we want to talk about issues that are important. We are behind the public. The public is ahead of us.
Today I held a press conference with Stephanie Richardson, whose daughter took her own life last year in circumstances that are well known in the Ottawa area and which brought forward an incredible outpouring of emotion, compassion and feeling in the community. That family has done a remarkable thing in turning a terrible tragedy into a moment where they can perhaps teach people what this is all about.
We need to do this as a Parliament. The federal government runs the fifth largest health care system in the country. We are responsible constitutionally for aboriginal people, and we are responsible for veterans and for our armed forces. The federal government can be a leader in this field, but it has not been. People say to me, "What about your party when you were in government?" It did not do enough. Nobody can say from a partisan perspective, "We have done all we can".
Speaking very personally, having lost some friends to suicide, I can tell the House about the sense of bewilderment one feels. What else could I have done? What else could I have said? What else could I have seen?
We know there are strategies that work. We know that if we start to talk about it, it makes a difference. We know that if we begin to create the architecture of support for people and for families, we know if we address the underlying mental health and social and economic issues, we will in fact reduce the level of suicide. We know that we can find a way to address this question, and we know that it is within our realm of responsibility to do so.
I am one of those people who thinks the national government has the responsibility to work with the provinces in a co-ordinated fashion, not to dictate to anyone, because seven out of the ten provinces already have developed strategies. However, none of them are sufficiently funded. None of them have enough grounding in this national conversation which needs to happen.
On behalf of the Liberal Party, supported by my colleague from Vancouver, I have moved this motion. However, we do not claim any monopoly of virtue on the motion. We do not claim that we somehow have achieved a breakthrough that others are not party to. There is no reason why any member of Parliament should feel that this is being put forward in some kind of a partisan way. It is not.
Yes, there will be questions about what could be done, and there will be issues about how we can allocate the funds we need to make sure the conversation happens, but we also understand there are at times issues that go beyond politics.
I have often wondered why it is that governments have such difficulty in accepting that mental illness is every bit as much an illness as is a physical illness. My own modest assessment is that there are two reasons.
The first reason is that there is a stigma and taboo with respect to mental illness that is still with us. We are not as deep and dark in the dark ages or Victorian times perhaps as before, but we still have to recognize and admit that it is not seen in the same way and it is not discussed in the same way as it should be. We have made some changes, but we need to make more.
The second reason is that people feel, and governments reflect this, that it is an illness but it is not like a physical illness, that it is something different. People feel there is not a whole lot they can do, that it is not something that can be easily or readily solved.
This ignores a very basic fact. We have made huge progress in the treatment of mental illness. Conditions that were a guarantee of a lifetime of incarceration as recently as 50 or 60 years ago are being treated today very effectively with medication and treatment that actually works.
We are behind in research. We are behind in funding. We are behind in support. We are behind in housing. We are behind in all the things that need to be done to integrate all of these services together. These things are solvable. These are matters of political will. These are not conditions which we cannot do anything about.
Over 120 years ago a very famous French sociologist, Émile Durkheim, wrote a text called Le Suicide.
This gentleman, one of sociology's pioneers, made an important observation. He said that an event such as suicide reflects a lack of solidarity within society. Until then, suicide was considered a personal act that had no social explanation. But Durkheim said that, on the contrary, it could be explained.
The love that each of us must show our neighbours is a permanent sign of our compassion and what it means to be a citizen and be part of a good society.
A good society is marked by how people care for each other and by solidarity. We are talking about what we owe each other and how our collective failure to reflect that sense of solidarity and connection in our actions contributes to the sense of alienation and bewilderment that is a prelude to a person's decision to commit suicide.
Not all of the explanations are easy. Many of them continue to baffle people. We all have friends who have died in this terrible way and we wonder what could have caused them to do so.
What we do know is there are things we can do. It is not a hopeless situation. We have to take what my grandmother used to call "the human footsteps". Every day we need to move forward by taking the human footsteps that will lead us to the progress we must make as Canadians and as a society. This is a frontier we must cross together. We need to better understand this world of anger, self-anger, of violence that implodes or explodes. We need to share that understanding. We need to address it. We need to take the steps as a society to make a difference.
Hence, we need a strategy that will prevent people from taking their own lives, one that will allow them to return to living full, happy and productive lives. That is what it means to live in a country where we care for one another.
Opposition Motion--National Suicide Prevention Strategy
Business of Supply
Government Orders
10:35 a.m.
Colin Carrie Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Health
Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague from Toronto Centre for bringing this important issue forward. As he so eloquently stated in his speech, suicide is something that affects us all, our families and our friends. I am certain every member of the House believes that as a government we should be doing more in that regard.
The member is aware that the Minister of Health is from the north where there is an extremely high rate of suicide. She is committed to doing more.
He is also aware of the establishment of the Mental Health Commission of Canada that was endorsed by all of the provinces and territories except for Quebec.
As the member has a unique perspective, I would like him to discuss jurisdictional issues in his capacity as both a federal and provincial politician as well as having been a leader of two parties.
He is aware of the draft mental health strategy put forth by the Mental Health Commission that would likely address the elements of suicide prevention of which he speaks. The government is trying to work collaboratively with the provinces and territories within its jurisdiction.
Does my colleague think that the federal government should dictate how the provinces and territories deliver health care services within their jurisdictions? That has been a challenge with many of these national strategies. Could he comment on that?

Whitewater Slalom Olympic Roundup
Beijing, China
The 2008 Beijing Olympic Games saw fantastic whitewater slalom on a very difficult course. The Shunyi Olympic Rowing-Canoeing Park was a great host for the competition, and provided a very high caliber experience for all involved. USA Canoe/Kayak fielded a full slalom team with 5 athletes representing the United States.
K-1: Scott Parsons (Bethesda, MD) had a fast start to his Olympic campaign with a third place finish to his first run. On his second run, a touch at the top led Parsons to push even harder at the bottom to make up that time and he was called for missing a gate. An inquiry was filed by team leader Angela Lokken, to no avail. The judges ruled that only half of Parsons' head went through the gate resulting in the 50. This eliminated Parsons from further competition. Going into the competition, Parsons was ranked 9th in the world.
C-1: Benn Fraker (Peachtree City, GA), showed consistent improvement in his two days of competition. Fraker finished the qualifying day 10th, was 8th after his first run, and finished 6th overall in the finals. In the semifinal and finals, Fraker paddled without penalty. This bodes well for the future for the 19 year old that entered the competition ranked 17th in the world.
C-2: Ricky Powell (Parkesburg, PA) and Casey Eichfeld (Drums, PA) began Wednesday's competition with a strong first run of 101.69 with no penalties. Unfortunately, in the second run they suffered a touch at the top of the course and missed the downstream gate 7 and were hit with a 50 second penalty. These two penalties eliminated them from further competition. As with Fraker, these two young men have very bright paddling futures for the USA team.
K-1-W: Heather Corrie (Grandy, MN) began the competition in 16th place and moved herself into the semifinals and finals. Thursday's competition was delayed due to lightning at the venue and oncoming darkness after Corrie was prepared to make her runs. Brushing that off and sticking with her consistent preparation regimen, Corrie started fast with a 112.51. On the next run, however, Corrie missed gate 5 and had a touch at the bottom ending her day with an 8th place finish.

Products I Regret Buying - NXY Lip Lacquer in Georgia Peach
I'm back with another post in my Product I Regret Buying Series. It's been a little while but I've been meaning to share this particular product. I actually picked it up because some other gurus mentioned getting it at IMATS about a year or two ago. What I learned is that what works on some, doesn't always work on others.
The problem with this gloss is not the quality of the product, but the color for me. I never knew that this pot of gloss would be so pigmented. The color is Georgia Peach and in the container it appeared to be a nice peachy nude. On my lips however, it was a different story. The gloss appeared almost white...it wasn't even worth salvaging with a deeper lip liner or lipstick underneath, lol.
-opaque coverage
-not sticky
-too nude (color in packaging looks nothing like the product itself)
Would I Recommend? Even though this is in the "Products I Regret Buying Series", I think this is a nice product it's just that the color was all wrong for me. I would give it another go but definitely in a different shade - something darker and brighter perhaps. If you're tan like me or have a deeper skin tone, I'd recommend doing the same to avoid the nude zombie lip syndrome, lol.
Have you tried this product before? Let me know in the comments below!

I have this in a different color, and I hated it. I think its because it gets my fingers sticky and gross when I use this to apply. Since its a throw in your purse gloss, I don't bring a brush with me. I think if they put this in a tube I'd like it. Maybe.

I bought a pot of this in a pinkish color (can't even remember the name bc I don't love it lol) It's so pigmented looking in the pot, but when applied it's just sticky and clear.

Brinker joins 19A GOP race
ST. PETER – Joel Brinker, a former St. Peter City Council member, announced Monday he is running for the Republican endorsement in the special election for Minnesota House District 19A.
He started his first city council term in 1998, when St. Peter was ravaged by a devastating tornado, and he served until 2006. He sought the Republican endorsement in a 2006 state House race, but he dropped out after the first round of ballots.
Brinker said his focus is improving Highway 14 and the state's overall transportation system, along with pushing for a more business-friendly climate in the state.
During his 2006 run, Brinker focused on property-tax reform, fair distribution of Local Government Aid, strengthening local control of education and promoting renewable fuels.
conventions set
In other development, endorsement conventions have been set for the 19A race.
Republicans will convene at 7 p.m. Thursday in the former movie theater at the Mankato Place mall. Current candidates are former congressional candidate Allen Quist, former Nicollet County candidate Jim Golgart and Brinker.
The DFL set its endorsement convention for Saturday, Jan. 19 at 10:30 a.m. at the North Mankato Fire Department on Howard Road. Announced candidates are teacher and union leader Robin Courrier, farmer Karl Johnson and MSU faculty member Clark Johnson.
The Independence Party has agrbusinessman and author Tim Gieseke running for its endorsement. The party will hold an endorsement convention this Saturday at 10:30 a.m. at the St. Peter Civic Center. It is expected to be wrapped up by noon.

Any good orthopedist or physical therapist knows pain in one part of the body is often caused by dysfunction in another part of the body. The most common area of pain in swimmers is the shoulder rotator cuff.
Swimmer's shoulder is a form of bursitis that develops when a bursa, or fluid sack, located at the shoulder rotator cuff is repeatedly impinged during the swim stroke and becomes inflamed. Repetitive impingement may also cause tendonitis (inflammation) or tendinosis (tissue degeneration) in the tendons of the rotator cuff.
The primary cause of swimmer's shoulder is not the rotator cuff, however; it's the scapula. Commonly known as the shoulder blades, the left and right scapulae are strategically positioned as critical links between the spine and the shoulder rotator cuffs.
Essentially, the scapulae and the 17 muscles around them are the foundation of your shoulders and the base of every arm movement. A healthy shoulder blade must be both stable and mobile. Lack of adequate stability or mobility in the shoulder blade makes the rotator cuff susceptible to impingement during overhead arm movements such as those involved in the freestyle swim stroke.
Posture Problems
Healthy shoulder blades are a rarity in our society. The problem is the amount of time we spend sitting in front of computers and steering wheels. The hunched position we tend to assume in these situations leads to a more or less permanent forward rounding of the upper spine, called kyphosis.
This posture inhibits the ability of the scapula to tilt backward and create space for the rotator cuff in the shoulder joint when the arm is lifted overhead. As a result, the rotator cuff gets pinched, causing tissue damage.
It doesn't stop there. In the keyboard-typing and steering-wheel-grasping positions our shoulders are internally rotated and protracted (pushed forward) for long periods of time. This leads to laxity and weakness in the muscles that externally rotate and retract (pull back) the shoulders.
Eventually, these imbalances cause the shoulder blades to float away from the spine toward the shoulder sockets, a phenomenon known as scapular winging. A healthy shoulder blade is sucked up tight against the ribcage. If your shoulder blades are visibly poking out of your upper back when you stand with your arms at your sides, then you have scapular winging.
Swimming tends to exacerbate these issues further, while also hastening and intensifying their consequences. Swimming strengthens the shoulder's internal rotators and protractors at the expense of the muscles that move the shoulders in the opposite directions.
To improve your shoulder health and performance, it's necessary to counterbalance these effects with strengthening exercises for the muscles that externally rotate the arms at the shoulder socket and retract the shoulder blades. A little bit of corrective exercise for the shoulders goes a long way.
I recommend doing one set of each of the following three exercises twice per week as a preventive measure if you have never experienced swimmer's shoulder. Build to two sets of each exercise three times per week if you have had a shoulder injury.
(Thanks to Eric Cressey, M.S., C.S.C.S., a Boston-based strength and conditioning coach who works with endurance athletes including Dede Griesbauer, second at Ironman Brazil this year, for teaching me these exercises.)

Skip to comments.For 2016, Bush vs. Clinton
Posted on 12/04/2012 2:29:34 PM PST by MinorityRepublican
Jeb Bush in 2016?
(CNN) -- For all of our post-2012 election talk about the changing culture, the changing demographics and, perhaps, a changing party, preliminary thoughts out of D.C. about the 2016 election have us headed toward not much change at all: Clinton vs Bush ... again.
I am as intrigued by the prospects of these two juggernauts, Jeb and Hillary, locking ideological horns as I am repulsed by the thought of half of my life being dominated by two family names. One, Clinton, has risen from the ashes after the White House. The other name, Bush, is so toxic that the past two Republican nominees avoided saying it in public, opting instead to skip their combined 12 years in office and head straight back to Reagan.
Face it, Hillary has baggage, but Jeb has Bush, and that, moreso than his record as governor of Florida or ideas for the future, will determine, at least at the beginning, how he is received. That explains why more than a few conservatives were not thrilled to hear that he was thinking of running.
(Excerpt) Read more at edition.cnn.com ...
No more Bushes for me. Period.
Ha - Dole - McCain - Romney and now Bush Jr against Michelle la belle with Van Jones as VP.
My worst f&%$ng nightmare.
No more Bushes for me. Period.
Trust me. If Jeb Bush gets the nomination, you will again be bullied into voting for him like everyone bullied people here to vote for Romney. In 2009, FREEPERS were saying, "No way will I vote for Romney" and look what happened. They got on the Romney train and never looked back. They cycle is the same every single time.
Wow, someone actually thinks there will be another presidential election in our lifetime?
I hear what you are saying and it was true for sometime for me, as well.
However, since I believe this country has passed the point of no return
anyway, I will handle the paid Jeb Clampett Bush brow-beaters here.
I will not vote for another Rino under any circumstance. I'm done.
I will not do it again.
too soon for another Bush to run (no matter how good this one may possibly really be)....
Hillary has turned off the majority of voters with her sellout of America as Sec of State... it won't avail her much to try to excuse herself by pleading she was "just following orders," that would make for a piss-poor campaign slogan
result of a Hillary vs Bush election?
massive voter turn-off and a nose-dive in legitimate votes
voter fraud to win again, only this time by a larger margin
Hillary in the White House (Billy probably then goes back to Arkansas as a single man)
TIME FOR THE R party to nominate someone who is salable to the voters and who will actually wage a real campaign for a change!
I believe this country has passed the point of no return
I fear you are correct. I just can't believe that we got this bad. Why can't intelligent people see the direction we are going and it is not good. I do believe it sucks that President Bush had the beginning ONE MONTH of badness before the election....I know it was over 4 years ago, but not matter how much I argue with people that it was the Democrats in Congress or that Obama has made it worse, the fact is, that people only see Bush's ONE bad month before the election.....SO FRUSTRATING!
Please, dear God,no more Bushes, no more Clintons, and no more RINOs! I am fairly confident that as the GOP goes on, they will give us candidates that will make GWB and Romney look like Tea Party conservatives.
Same here. The paid Bush brow beaters here will be wasting their time
with me.
Can Slick actually stay out of the limelight if Hillary is elected? The cameras and adoring crowds are the one thing he craves as much as young, buxom interns.
When is the next flight to........Bora Bora?
There is no chance of a GOP candidate winning a Presidential election again now with 50% takers and increasing and only 50% makers and decreasing paying the bills
Not only that, but should the GOP run this fool, I will vote for his opponent.
I will vote for an Obama 3rd term before I support this man.
I have grown to hate the GOP and their bullsh!t "conservatives".
I think she'll divorce him? (She sure won't need him knocking around, or knocking up any more interns).
(Ps: And she reportedly has a very close relationship going with a pretty Arab assistant? Or? ) )
An obligatory "Stay out da' Bushes" for y'all......
The GOP-e needs to "stay outa da Bushes".
I always looked at them as two sides of the same coin. She seemed like the cold, calculating ambitious one. He, reprehensible as he is, is a skilled politician who most people like personally, but at this point he'd rather play golf and give $250,000 speeches. He could be her press secretary. The WH press corpse would be orgasmic, and he would be the pr man for her administration.
the prospects of these two jugheads, Jeb and Hillary...
My "present" vote for POTUS (should "open borders" Bush III be the GOP-e candidate) will not matter.
The reality is decades and decades of Grand Bargains by the DC crowd
on both sides, past and present have brought us to the brink. No special
interest group is willing to give back what they have gained with these
Grand Bargains. So, the DC hacks on both sides are incapable of making
the hard choices. Power over country.
So what other outcome is left if these hacks are unwilling or incapable
of addressing these issues?
A collapse is the only outcome left. I know it, they know it and the only
thing they will do about it is to raise taxes, not cut spending. The only
thing this will do it delay the outcome, not change the outcome.
I'm with you. I'm fed up with the 24 year parade of RINOs, and I am at the point of saying I can't hold my nose and vote again
I hope not, but not sure it matters.
Wow, someone actually thinks there will be another presidential election in our lifetime?
My thoughts exactly.
This is just so freaking sad. Bush? Clinton? There are more than 350 MILLION folks in the US. Let's assume that only 10% are eligible (yes, low amount)...but that still means 35 million people are eligible to become US President. Are we really down to just two freaking families...Bush and Clinton?
Gak! I thought the last 4 years were trying my last nerve. I do not want Jeb to be my choice.
Ok, NOW we can damn well insist on a CONSERVATIVE!!!
No $$ to the NRC!
That's a good question, the way 'Our lord and Savior' is going- and if there is, what makes you think the massive voter fraud of 2012 won't get worse?
Will there be another Republican president?
Probably not unless we clean up the voting process.
We can not wait for 2014 and 2016 to regroup and figure out new strategies. By then it will be too late. The Marxist/Muslim usurper will have completed his planned distruction of America. That's what people fail to understand.
We must act NOW.
Start with the election. If we let the Rats get away with this massive voter fraud, we're no better than a bananna republic.
We must keep digging and pounding him every day, in every way we can- phony birth certificate, Benghazi, Fast and Furious, his hidden life, records....
Can't you just imagine this was the scene with Obama and his Commie staff after stealing the election through voter fraud- while Conservatives blame Romney, argue, point fingers, blather on about who to run in four years, 'starting a new party', and try to figure out how to suck up to minorities the 'next time'?
Map from Barack Obama Voter Fraud 2012
What most refuse to acknowledge is that it was unlikely that ANYBODY could have beaten the voter fraud planned and perpetrated by the Obama machine. They seem to prefer pointing fingers, blaming Romney and blathering on about who to run in 2016 and how to suck up to the minorities.
>Polls indicated that Romney was going to win the election.
>The economy is close to Great Depression era conditions, and unemployment is almost as high as when Obama entered office.
>Economic conditions became so dire after Obama took office it prompted the rise of an entire new movement, the Tea Party.
>Presidents rarely win reelection when the economy is in the tank.
>Mitt knew it too, when he was met by several thousand in that parking garage cheering him when he arrived unannounced at that airport, and he put his hand over his heart and said, 'This is how you know you've won'.
So how did Romney lose a race that numerous reputable polls and pundits predicted would be an easy win, based on historical patterns?
Massive voter fraud.
That and no other reason
Almost every major Conservative website has put out an article charging voter fraud- Breitbart, American Thinker, Atlas Shrugs, WND, The Blaze, Front Page Magazine, Fox News, The Daily Caller, Town Hall, Human Events..
Col Allen West; "I don't want to see America become like Zimbabwe where people dont trust their electoral process. If we cannot trust the integrity of the voting system then we are no longer a free republic".
Col West has opened the door.
We must fight election fraud.
It falls on We the People.
Silence is consent
These elections are NOT certified yet. The only way to get this investigated, much less recounted or overturned, is through the Secretary of State of each of the five key states: Florida, Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. EVEN IF YOU ARE IN ANOTHER STATE you can help. But it wont do any good to dilute our effort to challenge California or Michigan or other states. Until a major group gets involved to do more, here is the plan: Contact the Secretary of State of the state in question. See contact information below...

Who hatched THIS stupid idea? Unbelievable!!
No way. No more Bush EVER!
The fix is in I guess. This is exactly what happened in 1996 after Dole bellyflopped against Clinton. It was the media that promoted G.W. before the primaries to make a weak opponent for Al Gore. We barely pulled off a Republican win. Not that everything turned out all that well in hindsight but we could have done much better.
We need a MASSIVE LANDSLIDE to "earn" a squeaker....
Sadly it seems even a massive landslide would not win either...
Yup. although I have been hearing FOR YEARS about this stupid matchup. Where are the Americans? Where are the patriots? When is someone going to stand up to the machine and grab politics away from the minders? Huh? Neither of these two — not Hillary and not Jeb — should even be remote possibilities. Heck, I even read that Moochelle should be the next Prez! This is a girl who can't even hang on to her Illinois law license!!! Hillary is bang boom in the center of Benghazi and Bush is related to two ridiculous excuses for Presidents. WHY?? WHY CAN'T AMERICA DO BETTER THAN THIS????
2016 - don't bother marking the "President" selection of the ballot.
I voted GOP down the ticket...but for Constitution Party for POTUS...never support a GOP RINO for President. So run Jeb and you wont get my vote...I am more and more coming to the concluding that the GOP national is nothing but DEM LITE...and no MAS!
Gag me.... totally gag me.....
Wow, the propaganda starts early. Once the constitution dies it doesn't much matter to me who the puppet is.
Call me when Rand Paul and Allen West team up.
By the time 2016 gets here Ronald Reagan could not win. Stalin would win in a roam. The United Soviet Socialist States of Ameirka will have gone over the cliff and down the toilet. I am not voting for another Bush. I am sick of the Scull and Bones gang.
Would finally be enough after 52 years of going to the polls in every presidential election - to make me stay home and not vote....
"No more Bushes for me. Period."
Me, neither.
This has got to stop somewhere.
I'm wondering if perhaps the 2008 election represented "the high point" numerically for the number of "Republican" votes cast in a presidential election.
The total was lower in 2012.
Put Bush on the ticket and it may be lower yet in 2016.
It's no longer a question of whether the Republicans will face a threat from a third party.
They are turning themselves INTO the "third" party.
I think the Bush family are the ones behind Boehner and McConnell, don't you? Who else would have the power to pull strings behind the scenes. They have to keep that dynasty going, you know.
Federal taxes are a shell game, we pay taxes to Washington and then they bribe us with our own money. We pay probably thousands of different kinds of federal taxes that we cannot keep track of how much money we individually pay to Washington. Washington is a big vacuum cleaner just sucking the money out of our pockets. I don't think the problem will ever be solved in Washington because Washington itself is the problem. The solution is going to have to come from the states. Can the states nullify some of the federal taxes?
Don't know if states can nullify taxes. But good thoughts.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (42 votes).
In short: lovely scnic trail runIn full: first time doing this run and it was thoroughly enjoyable. i never like doing lap races as i dont like to know what i've got to do again, but apart from a bit of a short sharp climb at the end of each lap this was nice and flat. definitely would come back again and do this! nice cuppa at the end and jelly babies if you wanted them! goood quality t shirt as well!Date of review: October 9, 2011
In short: Good Clean Fun!In full: Not much in the way of mud, or mayhem! But it made for a good race. 2 laps of a rather flat course with an incline at the end that seems to go on forever! Great for beginners like me. I imagine it could me a whole lot different had the rains came!Date of review: October 9, 2011
In short: Excellent race, good fun, great organisation and support.Date of review: June 19, 2011
In short: determination is what will get you throughIn full: Massive thanks to the marshalls and the girl's at the start/finish line who kept me motivated to complete the whole 20kDate of review: June 19, 2011
In short: A great introduction to multi-terrain runningIn full: I thought this was a great race. Its ran over grass, mud, trail and a little bit of concrete as you circle the Abbey.I really enjoyed this race and thought it was a crying shame that only 37 people turned out to compete over 10K.The route was great, the organisers were friendly and organised and the T Shirt was nice. They also had a plasma screen up allowing you to type in your race number and see your official chip time, I thought this was a really nice touch!You also had the privilege of completing the 10K alongside the triathletes as they finished their race. Watching these guys run was inspiring they are like machines!I will definitely be running it again next year.Date of review: May 23, 2011
In short: Good luck finding it!In full: Atrocious organisation, no signs to the start and when they were told people were lost all over the place they didn't care, I got injured falling in the woods and there was no first aid and again nobody cared, and NO MEDAL!!! Rubbish!Date of review: March 20, 2011
In short: super race , nice technical section , some challenging hills , bit narrow along the river but that was fine, dog friendly course aswell , cooper loved it and hopefully he didnt get in anybody elses wayDate of review: March 20, 2011

Protect the U.S. Post Office
The Republican Party is a puzzlement to me. Another reason I think they are out of the "loop."
The Republicans drive to kill the U.S. Postal Service. Our post office is wonderfully efficient and trustworthy. Forcing it to pre-fund 75 years worth of pension benefits has only one purpose: to bankrupt the service.
Some services are best done by the government. The Postal Service is one of them.
Privatization results have seen shoddy service provided by political cronies. I hope Congress will save the Postal Service, including Saturday delivery.
Try telling GM for instance, that they have to prepay 75 years worth of pension benefits.
I don't want my mailbox to have that empty feeling,

Mount Sneffells Loop, San Juan Mountains, Colorado
Mount Sneffells Loop, San Juan Mountains, Colorado
Photo by Rich Durnan
RUNNERS: Sara Fuld and Jake Jones of Crested Butte, Colorado
BETA: A 13-mile loop that starts at the Blue Lakes Trailhead and climbs to Blue Lakes Pass then follows the Southwest Ridge route (exposed) to the summit (14,150 feet). Descend to the saddle between Yankee Boy and Blaine basins (Lavender Col) and then down to Blaine Basin and back to the start. This loop works either way, but is described here in the counterclockwise direction. Best in mid-summer when clear of snow.
DIFFICULTY: Difficult with exposure. Approximately 4810 feet in elevation gain to Mount Sneffells summit.
INFO: Colorado's Fourteeners: From Hikes to Climbs, by Gerry Roach offers access and some route information. See a good trip report for this loop by Chris Ernst.

I actually didn't go high before. Today i've tried some nice Yame gyo at 2g/30ml and it was really good. But question here is... how people go higher, when leaves already look something like this and water can't even cover them?
Think i will reduce a bit for next session with it

Brushing a dog's teeth has become a priority for pet owners over the last few years as VCA Animal Hospitals reports that nearly two thirds of dogs over the age of three have peridontitis, an inflammation or infection of the tissues surrounding the teeth. This periodontal disease often results in tooth and gum infections, pain, loss of teeth and even organ damage in pets. The key to management of periodontal disease is prevention—and the gold standard is daily toothbrushing.
Although brushing a dog's teeth can be learned at any age, teaching the technique to a puppy typically goes over better and gets the pup into the habit as it ages, making the activity less painful for all involved.
VCA reports that owners should try to brush their dog's teeth every day. To begin this training, VCA suggests bringing the dog to a quiet room. The dog should sit with its head facing away from its owner. Start by gently massaging the outer surfaces of the dog's teeth with a soft cloth, going back and forth. During the first few sessions, it's best to just rub a few teeth rather than the dog's entire mouth until it gets comfortable with the process. After a few trial runs, let the dog taste the toothpaste. Human toothpastes should be avoided as they contain ingredients that could be detrimental to the dog's pet health if swallowed. Use only toothpaste that is made for dogs - most come in flavors like beef or chicken. Once the dog gets used to the taste, apply the paste to the soft cloth and start to rub it over all teeth. After it has gotten used to the cloth, it's time to start using a brush. There are numerous dog toothbrushes available that accommodate
all different dog sizes and shapes to help make the daily process easier and more efficient. Ask your vet about the right toothbrush and brushing technique for your dog.
In addition to daily tooth brushing, dogs will intermittently require professional dental cleanings to prevent periodontal disease. The frequency of these cleaning will depend on the success of the at-home brushing. Talk to your vet about the best plan for your dog.

CISAT's IDEA Laboratory Awarded Research Grant from Loma Linda University for mHealth Management System to assist High-risk Heart Failure (HF) Patients
CISAT's IDEA Laboratory has been awarded a research grant from Loma Linda University for designing novel technologies to assist congestive heart-failure patients. After hospital treatment, CHF patients are required to conduct self-management task such as monitoring weight changes, ensuring low sodium diets, and measuring their BP regularly. Failure and non-compliance to do so can result in hospital readmission or death. While previously hospital readmission was reimbursed by CMS, new changes in Obamacare will now penalize hospitals as they have to show performance and outcome. Loma Linda has teamed up with Dr. Samir Chatterjee's lab to develop remote monitoring technology using expert-system and persuasive technology that will assist CHF patients as they transition into the home. All data is collected via an internet connection and IDEA will deliver tailored reminders and motivational messages to guide the patients. All vital sign data will also be made available via a dashboard to the physicians and nurse-care team at the SACHS clinic. A Randomized Clinical Trial enrolling 10 CHF patients has started on March 14th, 2014. Doctoral students Nagla Alnoyasan, Edward Lee and Ala Alluhaidan will be working on different components of this system.

Several South Carolina men have been arrested in the Nov. 29 armed robbery of the Winners World sweepstakes parlor in Calabash.
Among those in custody is Xavier Jenrette, 22, of Little River, S.C. He is charged with robbery with a dangerous weapon and conspiracy to commit a robbery with a dangerous weapon.
According to the arrest warrant, Jenrette conspired with Brandon Leroyal Dyson and others to commit the robbery.
The warrant states that the men entered Winners World and brandished a weapon while demanding money. They made off with $664.
Also being held in the Brunswick County jail is Dyson, 28, of Little River, S.C., on charges of conspiracy to commit robbery and robbery with a dangerous weapon.
Brunswick County Sheriff's Capt. Mose Highsmith said two other men who were arrested Monday in South Carolina have waived extradition. They are expected in Brunswick County sometime Tuesday.
Jacobian Wilson, 34, and James Kenneth Allison, 29, both of Longs, S.C., are currently being held in the J. Reuben Long Detention Center in Little River, S.C. Wilson is charged with conspiracy to commit robbery and Allison is charged with conspiracy to commit robbery and robbery with a dangerous weapon.
Highsmith said a warrant has been issued for the arrest of Ronchekala "Koot" Shawntae Veness, 32, of 3243 Foxwood Drive, Loris, S.C. The warrant charges her with conspiracy to commit robbery.
A sixth person believed involved has yet to be identified, Highsmith said.
Brunswick County Sheriff's Office Detectives are requesting that anyone with information about Veness or regarding the identity and whereabouts of the person in the surveillance photo to please call Detective Kyle Jones at 880-4944.
A $500 reward is being offered for information leading to the arrest of this person.
The investigation is continuing and more charges may be forthcoming.
A man inside the parlor at the time of the robbery died shortly after the incident of a heart attack, but it isn't known if the suspects will be charged in connection to his death.

The mug shots are exactly as expected. The faint smiles, the look of defiance; as if this behavior is the inate right of these dirty animals.
How sad that as my brother layed dying these 6 made off with aprox 110.00. Just really pathetic. But if you knew my brother then the story gets sadder, he was a wonderful person he beat cancer and was a hard worker loves life and his family… I loved him so much I dont think my life will ever feel the same, Im sickened by the thought of these 6 scums maybe walking on small charges. I'm sure my brother was walking out that morning to go home and he would be here today too.. I'm begging plz plz chg them with his murder plz he was our brother, father, friend, pap, son, this is unexceptable. My brother should nit have had to die from these monsterous people. Plz do what's right and charge all Involved
I would like to get American history x on these monkeys….see ya at sentencing fish lips
I see Tom everytime I power up my phone or look across my livingroom to his favorite chair. I are him when Ilook at the windows he painted for me or the garage walls that he helped my husband put up. But we will never again get to touch Tom or go to the winery or speak with him again. I know he's in a better place but we weren't done with him yet. The savages that caused his death should be responsible his demise. MAY THEY BURN IN HELL!!!
I miss my brother in law every day when he was sick and lived with us we became very close i think of him everyday i would love to call him a talk that was all taken away
I lost one of the closest friends and soul mate I ever had just so some animals disguised as humans could steal something from someone else that did not belong to them. This man died during an armed robbery which is a felony and they can and should be charged with his murder. He would not have died right there on the floor all alone and away from all the people who loved him. He had a right to live and they caused his death anyway u look at it. Please charge these animals with murder. Please.
To the Brunswick county sheriff's dept. and the detectives who have worked on this case from minute one,my whole family would like to thank you all and let you know we are very grateful for all the hard work put in to this and the time spent "in my opinion to get these worthless animals off the street" was amazing.. also thank you to the news and all the coverage that was done on this case, and for the medias help… also to the owner of the parlor and the staff, they were very good to us while we were there for the funeral, thank you and happy holidays…my brother was hero in a lot of ways and one thing I am sure is he would not want anger in my heart but justice yes… more so this can't continue by the hands of these 6… I know you will do all you can.. thanks again to everyone

HomEnergy fuel tank move approved
SARANAC LAKE – A local fuel company has received village Planning Board approval to move its fuel storage tanks to a new site on Van Buren Street.
HES Ventures' plans to move a half-dozen HomEnergy Services fuel storage tanks, ranging in size from 3,000 to 12,000 gallons, from its property on Depot Street to a 0.81-acre parcel on Van Buren, behind Kinney Drugs, that the company acquired in a 2009 land swap with the village. The company also plans to add a new, 30,000-gallon propane storage tank to the Van Buren Street property.
The project, which was approved last week, had been under review for the better part of six months. Neighbors had raised concerns about, among other things, increased truck traffic and bad smells coming from the proposed facility, while others feared potential environmental contamination into Lake Colby.
Planning Board Chairwoman Leslie Karasin said Wednesday that the board attached a series of conditions to its approval that address many of those concerns.
"At the December meeting, the board developed a list of 23 items that we felt needed to be address in order for there to be an approvable project," she said. "Those spoke to everything from the location of the landscaping, the type of fencing and details about the site plan indicating the lighting. The outcome is a site plan that does everything it can to minimize visual impacts and will be a better project as a result of the back-and-forth between the applicant and the planning board."
Karasin noted that there are several other fuel storage facilities in the same area.
The Lake Colby Association had raised concerns about potential spills from the fuel tanks causing environmental contamination in its namesake watershed.
"The planning board addressed that by doing a site visit at the existing site and learning more about how (the state Department of Environmental Conservation) regulates fuel storage facilities, and the practices in place at HES Ventures to minimize water quality impacts," Karasin said.
The board invited DEC to take lead agency status for the project's State Environmental Quality Review, but the department declined, Karasin added.
"The main thing we walked away with was the sense that every indication we have is that HES Ventures goes above and beyond all of the compliance measures," Karasin said. "Since DEC has established those standards, I think it was the feeling of the planning board that it's not really our role to, sort of, question that.
"We did look for a few additional assurances, such as an oil-water separator. But the main thing is that the fuel storage tanks are all required to be contained within a dike constructed of concrete and sized to accommodate the largest feasible spill. In the end, our sense was that the applicant was doing everything they could reasonably be asked to do to minimize the risk of environmental damage."
The project was granted a special use permit in a 4-0 vote, Karasin said.
Dan Reilly of HES Ventures said the board's review was "very thoughtful and thorough.
"During the course of several months and numerous meetings, we all did our best to be respectful of the adjacent property owners," Reilly wrote in an email Thursday. "The Planning Board made a concerted effort to understand the many things HomEnergy does operationally in order to be certain that we are both environmentally compliant and eco-friendly. The final site plan reflects all these concerns."
Reilly didn't give a specific timeline for when the fuel tanks would be moved. He said it will depend on budgetary concerns.
HES Ventures initially wanted to relocate its fuel storage to Van Buren Street to make room for a 12,000-square-foot shopping complex with apartments upstairs on the site of what is now several old warehouse buildings on Depot Street. The village and HES received a $550,000 state grant for the project in January 2008, but the plan has since been put on the back burner.
Asked about his long-term plan for the Depot Street property, Reilly wrote that "HES Ventures is very interested to continue the high-quality development of the last multiple years that Depot Street has seen with the train station, (Veterans Administration) Clinic, credit union and now the Carousel. We are one of several property owners in and around Depot Street, so hopefully there can be a collective effort to invest in positive development. We are actively seeking prospective office, commercial or mixed-use tenants. Some space is available now, some exists in drawings."

Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs Kurt Campbell testified before the House Committee on Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Asia and Pacific on "Asia Overview: Protecting American Interests in China and Asia" on March 31, 2011. Assistant Secretary Campbell said that the Asia-Pacific is essential to our long-term national interests and underscored key aspects of our engagement strategy for the region. He started his testimony by underscoring the United States' commitment to Japan. He said:
"Twenty days ago today, Japan experienced a 'triple blow' from an earthquake, tsunami, and the subsequent challenges associated with the Fukashima Daichi nuclear reactors. By themselves, any of these incidents would have been enough to bring a country to its knees. In Japan, we have seen the opposite. The Government and people have responded bravely and, with the help of the United States and the international community, committed to building an even stronger Japan in the future. Japan is the cornerstone of our strategic engagement in East Asia, and we are committed to standing side-by-side with our ally in its time of need.
"It is clear that America's success in the 21st century is tied to the success of the dynamic Asia-Pacific region. As Secretary Clinton has noted, much of the history of the 21st century will be written in Asia. There is no question that the region's influence is growing and holds the key to our shared future. Asian nations are vital to the life-blood of the global economy. Their opinions and decisions have profound influence from Latin American to the Middle East and Africa on addressing complex and emerging transnational challenges, like climate change.
"Despite the Asia-Pacific region's tremendous growth, the region still faces some of the most pressing challenges of the 21st century. North Korea and Burma remain outliers to the region's prosperity and continue to be sources for insecurity and instability. Many of today's most critical issues -- military competition, nuclear proliferation, violent extremism, financial crises, poverty, weak and ineffective governments, unresolved territorial disputes, growing competition over energy and natural resources, climate change, and disease -- transcend national borders and pose a common risk in the region. The rapid emergence of transnational security risks and threats demands collective action, and it is critical for the United States to work with our allies and partners in the region to address and meet these significant challenges.
"Essential to our long-term national interests is to make sure that the United States remains true to its identity as a Pacific power. The Obama Administration, following a long history of bipartisan commitment to Asia, has articulated a five-part framework for our engagement in the Asia-Pacific: First, deepen and modernize our alliances with Japan, the Republic of Korea, Australia, Thailand and the Philippines. Second, broaden our engagement with increasingly important partners like Indonesia, Vietnam, Mongolia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, and most notably India. Third, develop a predictable, stable, and comprehensive relationship with China. Fourth, engage and invest in the region's burgeoning multilateral architecture. And, fifth pursue a confident and aggressive trade and economic strategy.
"Underpinning our strategy is a steadfast commitment to our belief in the universality of democracy and our respect for human rights. The U.S. commitment to these values defines the unique aspect of U.S. relations with Asia-Pacific nations and is an intrinsic and indispensable aspect of our character as a nation. It is one of the best and most important contributions that we can offer the region. We are working to promote fundamental human rights in the region and support the region's own efforts to promote and protect human rights, democratic principles, and freedom of religion and of expression.
"In order to ensure that the promotion of human rights and the rule of law as well as the development of civil society remain strong pillars of our engagement, we will continue to adopt new and creative approaches that seize the opportunities presented by advances created in our dynamic information age. The freedom to speak one's mind and to choose one's leaders, the ability to access information and worship how one pleases are the bases of stability. The United States will continue to speak for those on the margins of society, encouraging countries in the region to respect the internationally recognized human rights of their people while undertaking policies to further liberalize and open their states. We will continue to work with countries to combat the scourge of trafficking in persons, to promote the rights of women and children, and foster greater religious dialogue among the many communities of faith in the region. We continue to press for the restoration of democracy in Fiji, as well as to promote good governance, rule of law, and respect for human rights in Vietnam and China. We have already seen positive signs reflecting greater internalization of human rights with the recent establishment of such institutions as Indonesia's Bali Democracy Forum and the ASEAN Intergovernmental Commission on Human Rights (AICHR), which we welcomed for an official visit to the United States last November. In Burma, we have intensified efforts to promote human rights and democracy both through diplomatic engagement with key stakeholders in Southeast Asia and by delivering our message to the Burmese government via direct engagement. At the same time, we maintain extensive financial, trade, and visa sanctions that target regime authorities and their cronies who thwart democracy and disrespect human rights. Our message remains clear and consistent: absent concrete progress in key areas of democracy and human rights, our sanctions will remain in place."
In conclusion, Assistant Secretary Campbell said, "American leadership in the Asia-Pacific is essential to our long-term national interests. The Administration is committed to investing in and playing an engaged and active role in the region. The shift of geopolitical forces from the West to the East is a defining feature of the 21st century's international landscape -- and Asia will be the main stage for these transformations. These changes will present both tremendous challenges and opportunities for the United States. We are committed to meeting these challenges and seizing opportunities through high-intensity and comprehensive engagement. We have demonstrated to the region that as a global power, we can 'walk and chew gum at the same time.' We can, and will continue to be forced to, juggle multiple challenges at once. We are committed to taking steps to further strengthen our linkages to the Asia-Pacific region to ensure the preservation and promotion of our interests."

Any doctrine that weakens personal responsibility for judgment and for action helps create the attitudes that welcome and support the totalitarian state.

What????? John Spelunker Boehner cave? Don't be silly.
Frankly, may not be the battle to chose anyway.
A recent study found that women who carry a little extra weight live longer then the men who mention it.
Well he just caved for another 3 months and this time he really means it, wink wink!!! I have to be a little more pressimistic when giving odds on Boehner. Odds of 2 to 1 or 1.1 to 1 would have been more realistic for the Rino. At least we do not have to hear the crying interviews for another 45 days.
Question for you Republicans here on Potus;
What do you think about VP candidate Paul Ryan voting today to raise the Debt Ceiling? It was the 8th or 9th time he has voted to do so.
Anti-intellectualism and fascism go together like bacon and eggs.
Rand Paul slamming the House for surrendering to Obama...
"I saw the speaker on TV handing the newly sworn-in president a flag. I am afraid it was the white flag of surrender," the Kentucky Republican said, according to a GOP source present at the meeting.
Alluding to the House GOP's gathering last week in Williamsburg, Va., Paul jabbed: "They came out of their retreat and retreated."
