Young Says Casino Decision Up To Gov. Cuomo, Public Vote
The decision to put non-Indian casinos in Western New York will be decided by the Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the public.
That is how state Sen. Catharine Young, R-C-I Olean, describes the ongoing heated discussions on the location of three new upstate casinos. Cuomo said Thursday that New York's Indian casinos could face competition if talks with tribes fail. Cuomo's announcement comes as he tries to bring three Las Vegas casinos to Upstate New York at yet-to-be-identified locations. Three of the six upstate regions Cuomo is looking at already have Indian casinos.
The state has a compact with the Seneca Nation giving the nation exclusive rights to operate its three casinos. The Senecas operate casinos in Buffalo, Niagara Falls and Salamanca.
The governor said he would not allow a new casino to operate in a region where there is already a casino run by a tribe in good standing with the state. However, that could change for tribes that fail to resolve issues with the state. The Senecas have withheld more than $500 million in casino revenue-sharing payments since 2009, and are in binding arbitration with the state.
It is reported legislation is being drafted that restricts the first of three possible casino locations to Sullivan County in the Catskills, the Tioga area west of Binghamton, and Saratoga or Washington counties north of Albany, according to state Sen. John Bonacic, chairman of the Senate Racing and Wagering Committee. The Orange County Republican, who represents the southern Catskills, has said the existing racetrack-based casinos already located in these three areas should be given a preference.
"There are a few proposals being floated right now to stimulate discussion, including those by Sen. Bonacic, who is the chair of the Racing and Wagering Committee," Young said Friday. "Gov. Cuomo has made his priorities clear with his announcement on Thursday, when he said he wants three casinos upstate. At the end of the day, this casino expansion plan is the governor's initiative and I expect that he will make the determinations about casino siting. We will have to wait and see what the governor sets out. Then it will be up to the voters to decide, if the state Legislature makes second passage of legislation to hold a public referendum, changing the state Constitution to allow casino gaming."
A public referendum to change New York's Constitution to allow non-Indian casinos could be on the ballot as early as November.
According to the Associated Press, a spokeswoman for the Senecas said they were abiding by the gag order set by arbitrators and could not comment.
Cuomo hopes to strike a casino deal with the state Legislature, which is scheduled to end it's regular session June 20. Under the governor's proposal, potential casino sites would be identified by a special selection committee. No casinos would be located in New York City for at least five years to give upstate operations a better chance to thrive, Cuomo said.

In short: Great organisation, nice route, hills were a bit difficult but not too bad!Date of review: July 21, 2013
In short: Brilliant race for those who want a bit of off road toughness....Date of review: October 6, 2012
In short: HILLS!In full: Fantastic race! Really enjoyed the varied terrain within the 10k, including mud and streams (so glad I didn't wear my best trainers!), gravel tracks, extremely steep hills, speedy downhill parts and road. Great support from the Pudsey locals, especially at the finish. Superb organisation and a very well planned event. See you next year!Date of review: July 25, 2012
In short: Excellent organisationIn full: Lovely friendly club.Really looked after families.Superb childrens race.Lovely pudsey park.The race is always tough two very steep climbs...many people walked these...I managed to keep going.Marshalling really encouraging.A tough tough race but probably the best 10k in Yorkshire.The goody bag was nice and there was boxes of socks,hats,water bottles all free from the sponsors Puma.Loads of drinks at the end plus fruit.A really valuable race and Pudsey should be really proud of themselves.Thank you for an enjoyable morning.Date of review: July 24, 2012
In short: hilly, challenging course. A mix of trail/tracks and road, a decent course with some lovely scenic parts.In full: Very well organised, plentiful encouraging marshals and a tough enough course to make this a decent workout. The second uphill is steep - some energy needs to be kept in reserve! A really lovely race, and one I would return to.Date of review: July 23, 2012
In short: Hard mental hills!!In full: Excellent organisation tough race but great fun!!Date of review: July 23, 2012
In short: 2 Sharp climbs make this a challenging race in lovely sceneryIn full: This was my first race back after a 3 year non-running patch. After nursing Achilles tendinitis for 7 months I was very concerned about this route. However the atmosphere is one of a friendly village event and the scenery is good enough to almost take your mind off the hills. Don't expect a PB, expect a good challenging day out.Good Quality Technical T-Shirt too !Date of review: July 28, 2011
In short: Scenic, mixed road and trail course, with two large up hill sectionsDate of review: July 28, 2011
In short: Varied, steep and enjoyableIn full: I now understand why it is called the 'Pudsey 10k challenge' not the 'Pudsey 10k run' and it is just that, a hilly challenge, the downhills are mostly too steep and uneven to get up much speed so this doesn't compensate for my slowness up the hills!It was nice getting off the roads in the sunshine for some of the run. A very friendly event where you have enough space for pretty much all the route and can start running from within a few yards of the start line.My 3 year old also did the family fun run which made it a nice family day out. Date of review: July 25, 2011
In short: Beautiful sunny day in the hills of PudseyIn full: A really well organised and supported race. But not for the faint hearted, it is a challenging 10k in true Yorkshire tradition has no flat bits. There are some challenging off road climbs and some steep down hills on loose gravel tracks that are just as hard. All that said it was great fun in the sun (so it was hot as well)and well organised. It's a different challenge which is what makes running so much fun.Date of review: July 24, 2011

IAJE Evening 2 - A Night of British Jazz
January 11, 2008. Posted by Joshua Jackson.Add new comment | Filed under: bass jazz, british invasion, british jazz, courtney pine, Discovery, european jazz, first appearance, IAJE 2008, jazz competition, jazz funk, jazz musicians, jazz orchestra, last act, Live Music, martin taylor, night in tunisia, occasional references, panoply, Places and Spaces, queen elizabeth, solo version, stagecrew, tommy smith, trombonist dennis rollins
Courtney Pine, the British jazz musicians turned Jazz Crusader for BBC2, presented an evening of British Jazz at IAJE. I missed the first set from Empirical, winner of the 2007 EBU European Jazz Competition. I got there for the band's final notes.
Pine quickly introduced Martin Taylor, who jumped onstage a little early. Since the stagecrew wasn't ready for the band, he entertained the audience with a solo version of "I'm Old Fashioned." Here it is:
Martin Taylor - I'm Old Fashioned
I supposed you're predestined to play guitar when your named Martin Taylor, since that's the name of two highly regarded luthiers. Taylor made his first appearance in Toronto 25 years ago. This performance was his return engagement. It's been a while. Here's a cut from the full band:
I was totally blown away by the next act. Kids from Scotland who play like they've been playing together for years. Check this out, and tell me if you think they sound like novices...
Tommy Smith Youth Jazz Orchestra - A Night in Tunisia
The last act, I suppose, represented "the future." Trombonist Dennis Rollins has been raking in the awards in Britain. The music was certainly fun and dance-ready. Occasional references to "Summertime" and "Work Song" notwithstanding, I would call this a tightly arranged ensemble that combines a panoply of styles, including drum-n-bass, jazz, funk, and garage. Hear what I mean:
So there you have it. I guess you can't call this show The British Invasion, since we're technically in Canada, where Queen Elizabeth is the head of state. - Josh

As we mark the 50th anniversary of that sad day in American history, there is a timely picture of Chief R. H. "Dagger" Dickerson (left), Austin Fire Marshal W. Heaton (second from right), and other fire prevention members with Texas Governor John Connally. This picture was taken in October, 1963 to promote fire safety month in Texas. Just one month prior to the shooting. Gov. Connally was riding in the seat ahead of President Kennedy and was severely wounded in the shoulder, wrist, and thigh by the lethal bullet.
There always seems to be a solemn innocence in pictures of people just prior to a tragic event.

Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more: it is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing. -- Macbeth, Act 5, Scene 5

My spouse will be half way through his meal when I have already finished mine. Somehow he manages to "savor" his food. Somehow I manage to gobble so fast there is not much recollection as to what was for dinner. This is not a healthy way to eat so where does this rapid eating come from?
Is it because lunch breaks at work were about much more than food? A lunch break was primarily used for running personal errands, etc. and eating was simply a necessity on the run.
Is it because I am the youngest child in our family and ate fast for fear nothing would be left for me if I didn't hurry? (My spouse is an oldest child and I'm guessing he got the first and the most of everything.)
Do you eat quickly or slowly and do you think there is a reason for either eating style?
(Well shoot, this could have been a Question Of The Week!"

We all tend to eat quite quickly in our family. I do, because I don't like cold food and normally I'm hungry. :D
- Lynn said...
I eat slowly - I think it's because my dad was such a stickler for table manners. There were so many manners associated with being at their dinner table that I think that's why I just came to eat slowly.
I've gotten in some bad habits though. Since I live alone, I have dinner on the couch while watching TV. I know that's not good, but yet I do it anyway.
- Bonnie (BornInaZoo) said...
I eat quickly & often. A habit of having a job where I worked 12 hour shifts and breaks were 15 minutes after an hour.
- Cliff said...
I eat quickly.
How else can you consistently over eat unless you gobble up enough calorieds to run Andre the Giant so fast your stomach doesn't have a chance to react. You never see the Coney Island hot dog contest winners try to pace themselves do you?
- Cliff said...
That and I still don't trust Marilyn. I know that in the 40 years we've been married she's never turned on me (taken food off of my plate) ...but well you never know about some folks.
- Riot Kitty said...
I got in the habit of scarfing down food in high school because we had such short lunches, then as a reporter because I was always on the go. It's not good. I eat much more slowly now.
- Whitemist said...
i eat too quickly, but also eat less. Sometimes i am forced to eat slowly by a stock in the espophagas muscle.
- ♥ Sonny ♥ said...
I'm a first born and was an only child for 11 years. I have always eaten slow and I am even slower now.
Many meals I just walk away from my plate and when I get back I dont want whats on it.
its odd that just as I am starting to eat I think of all kinds of things I meant to do and rush to go to them.
I wish they'd just make a pill with all the nutrients I need in it and that would make me happy.
- Chatty Crone said...
I know I eat too quick. I have to thing about why - I guess because I feel like I am always in a hurry and I hate that - I want to eat one bite at a time! love, sandie
- JeanMac said...
I still eat quickly although there is no reason now - at work I rarely got my half hour lunch so got in the habit of hurrying!
- Shionge said...
Eat slowly helps disgestion and eat slowly won't eat too much hehhehehe....
I suppose the art is to enjoy the food by eating slowly so I hope you and your spouse will enjoy time together just by eating slowly :D
- Snaggle Tooth said...
I recently replaced song lyrics too!
Really, I didn't know you had already-
I've always been a very slow eater. Now I'm pathetically slow, due to difficulty chewing with limited teeth left. But pudding is still pretty quick!
- Changes in the wind said...
I eat more slowly than my hubby but more so now that I am older simply because I enjoy eating where when I was younger it was simply a necessity required to do the other things I loved:)
- Dianne said...
I eat slow which is supposed to be healthier and which is supposed to help keep your weight down yet I'm a chubby mess so go figure
I have always eaten slow and don't know why
the boy that Hope is speaking to was being called "Little Dude" all day since my son had to keep telling him "Little Dude, slow down" or calm down
He kept grabbing Hope and picking her up and squeezing her and hugging her
In the pic my son is laughing because Hope is telling him how he has to be "nicer" and "not so wild"
- TALON said...
It really depends on a couple of things for me:
1. How hungry I am (then I'll gobble)
2. What am I having? (if it's something I love, I eat it fast)
3. How much am paying? (if out for a fancy dinner, I tend to savor it because I'm generally trying to figure out what makes the chef's food taste so much better - lol).
- G. B. Miller said...
I've always eaten fast. Some things that are learnt in skool sadly can never be unlearnt.
However, the only way I eat slow is if I'm reading or watching t.v. at the same time.
- Sparkling Red said...
I believe that sibling competition for food does play a big part in eating habits. My husband has two brothers. He eats like a wolf. Or a vacuum cleaner. Seriously I don't think he chews anything, ever.
I was an only child. I take my sweet time. :-)
- Granny Annie said...
LL Cool Joe -- I do not like hot food and will let it cool quite a bit and THEN I gobble it up quickly.
Lynn -- I am trying to get Ron to come to the table for meals. Actually we both eat in front of our televisions (two different rooms) and I believe it would be healthier if we sat at the table and concentrated on our meal and not the news.
Bonnie (BIZ) -- Did I understand that you got a 15 minute break every hour so 12 breaks on a 12 hour shift? Surely not.
Cliff -- Good point about the hot dog eating contest. Nope never saw them pace themselves. I have often taken food off of Ron's plate and he has rarely, if ever, taken food off of mine. Guess you better keep watching Marilyn.
Riot Kitty -- What all have you told us about your reporter days? I think we probably need to hear more about that.
Whitemist -- Sorry about your esophagus. Yikes!
- Granny Annie said...
sonny -- Two of our grandchildren are basically only children (with eight years between them) and both will wander away from the table if not forced to eat. It's an inconvenience in their multiple activities to have to stop and take time for a meal. They too would go for those nutrient pills if you ever find some.
Chatty Crone -- Well Sandie, why are you always in such a hurry? Too much work or too much fun?
JeanMac -- Those tight work schedules seem to have affected many of us.
Shionge -- It sounds like you have the pleasure of eating down to a science. Hopefully I can learn.
Snaggle Tooth -- Well you know what they say about "great minds"!
And, I guess you can be grateful for pudding...
Changes in the wind -- Now, based on other comments, I have to ask if you are an only child? Sounds like that trait of having to eat out of necessity is for only children or wide spaced siblings.
Dianne -- At least I could tell that Hope was giving someone instructions. LOL!
Talon -- You seem to have understandable eating habits. I will try harder to savor my food when we've paid a pretty penny for it.
G.B. Miller -- Reading will slow down me eating but watching tv seems to speed it up even more.
Sparkling Red -- I am truly inclined to agree with you. My husband is the oldest of five brothers and I'm pretty sure they feared his rule and probably had to compete heavily for their food causing them to eat fast and him to taunt then by eating slowly. The oldest kids always got first grabs.
- Kay said...
I should slow down because I'm probably not chewing enough and helping things digest.

Todd Russell Labrador, NL
Madam Speaker, I certainly will use my six minutes after question period.
I want to thank the member for bringing forward this motion and spurring debate on what is an important program, a needed program. It is a program that helps many families, individuals and communities within our country. I also want to thank the member for Dartmouth—Cole Harbour, who has been a strong advocate for EI reform. I also want to thank the Liberal caucus which has been supportive of EI reform not only today but in past years. From 2000 to 2005 the Liberal government made major overhauls of the EI system to help Canadians from coast to coast to coast.
Many people in my riding, which is primarily a rural riding, depend on EI to pay their bills, to send their kids to school, to heat their homes and to buy food. This is a reality in the riding of Labrador. Many people in my riding are disappointed in the Conservatives' approach to EI reform, if it can be called reform. All they have done is tacked on five weeks. Some would say that is a move in the right direction, but it does not go far enough. It does not meet the needs of Canadians who are in more trouble today than they have been in a generation.
We have to remind people of the attitude of the Conservatives in the past. They called EI nothing but a welfare system. They said that EI was only a handout to people. We have to remind Canadians of what the minister said not too long ago, that the EI program was too lucrative. I think the attitude of the Conservative government permeates the fact that they have taken so little action on EI reform. Many groups and communities across the country say that EI reform is one of the best ways to stimulate the economy.
When the minister talks about EI being too lucrative, I would like her to go to the communities in Labrador where the average EI payment in many places is $350 every two weeks. Can that be called too lucrative? Is that meeting the needs of Canadians? Not one person in this House would dare stand up and say that was too lucrative. I know hundreds of families and individuals who are in that particular situation and it is not good.
This program is an insurance program. People pay into it and they expect help when times are tough. That is why I and the Liberal Party are supporting this particular motion.

The Speaker Peter Milliken
I hesitate to interrupt the hon. member, but it being two o'clock, we have to move on to other items. When we resume debate on this matter, he will have a good seven minutes remaining to conclude his remarks.
It being two o'clock, we will now proceed with statements by members.
Violent Crime
Statements By Members
1:55 p.m.
Ed Fast Abbotsford, BC
Mr. Speaker, Canadians are shocked and dismayed at the recent wave of gangster violence in British Columbia.
Previous Liberal governments all but ignored the problem of violent crime, but there is good news. Last week Canada's Minister of Justice tabled two new laws which tackle organized crime and get tough on serious drug criminals. These build on our Conservative government's Tackling Violent Crime Act, which imposed mandatory prison sentences for gun crimes and made it much tougher for repeat gun criminals to get bail.
Last week the opposition parties suddenly got religion and claimed that it wanted to get tough on crime. Sadly, these johnny-come-latelies to the crime issue talk tough at election time but then obstruct, delay, water down and even oppose our efforts to protect Canadians.
Canadians expect more from these born again crime fighters. When will Liberal and NDP MPs finally protect the victims of crime and start standing up for Canadians?
Ted Patey

Scott Simms Bonavista—Gander—Grand Falls—Windsor, NL
Mr. Speaker, I rise today in the House to pay tribute to and honour a fellow Newfoundlander, Ted Patey of Badger, who passed away on December 6, 2008. He was 66 years old.
He was known as a cheerful sports reporter across the province, who hosted a popular sports program in the 1980s for nearly 400 episodes. His most memorable event was the play-by-play commentary for the 1991-92 Herder Memorial championship hockey series that was won by his beloved Badger Bombers. In 2006, he was inducted into the Newfoundland and Labrador Hockey Hall of Fame. The same year he was awarded a lifetime achievement award from the town of Badger for his outstanding dedication, love and support of the town. Ted took great pride in his community and was always there to lend a helping hand.
In April of this year, a heritage park will be named and dedicated to his many accomplishments in the town of Badger. It will be named the Ted Patey Heritage Park.
Ted's legacy will be long remembered in his hometown of Badger. Ted Patey will be greatly missed by his family, his town, his province and his many friends.
Louise Fourtané Bordonado

Diane Bourgeois Terrebonne—Blainville, QC
Mr. Speaker, today I want to pay tribute to an exceptional person, Louise Fourtané Bordonado. Although she is leaving active municipal politics, her hard work on numerous committees has left an indelible mark, for example on the members of the Table de concertation de condition féminine des Moulins.
In 1999 this woman of compassion who stood by her word, who encouraged women to run for office while she was vice-president of the Comité national d'action politique des femmes du Parti Québécois, decided to practise what she had been preaching and dedicated herself to the service of her fellow citizens. Her contribution will serve as an example for many amongst us.
On behalf of women from the Moulins area, I would like to thank Mrs. Bordonado for her 10 years as municipal counsellor for Mascouche and wish her the very best in her future endeavours.
Status of Women
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Irene Mathyssen London—Fanshawe, ON
Mr. Speaker, women and men around the world are recognizing International Women's Day as a time to celebrate women's social, political and economic achievements.
Sadly, women across the world still suffer extreme poverty, violence and violations of their basic human rights. In Canada, lack of attention to women's rights by successive governments has left equality rights in tatters.
The government has cut funds to Status of Women Canada and removed the word "equality" from its mandate; eliminated the court challenges program; failed to make investments in child care; failed to invest in affordable housing; failed to make employment insurance accessible to more women; failed to improve the lives of aboriginal women; and failed to address violence against women.
Disturbingly, the Conservative government is now revoking pay equity laws in Canada and removing pay equity protection under the Canadian Human Rights Act for federal employees. New Democrats will continue to fight for equality and oppose the government's agenda to turn back the clock on women's rights.
We invite all Canadians to join us in celebrating International Women's Day and to speak out on the issues that matter to all women.
Dutton & District Lions Club
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Joe Preston Elgin—Middlesex—London, ON
Mr. Speaker, our communities are better places because of them; projects are planned, buildings are built, parks are designed, youth are assisted and seniors are housed through them. Yes, I am speaking of service clubs.
I had the pleasure of participating in a wonderful event, the grand opening, a house warming so to speak, of Caledonia Two, a beautiful seniors housing project in friendly Dutton, Ontario. The stars of the show? Members of the Dutton & District Lions Club. With their help, this project succeeded through tough times. It was led by Clare Oldham, whose vision and drive would not let the project fail, and the committee, led by Bob Purcell, which kept the fundraising on track.
This lions club, even while working on this major project, continued its other great work in the community. At every event in the western part of Elgin, people will find hard-working lions club members on fundraising duty. I will admit to eating the occasional great burger prepared by them.
I salute the Dutton & District Lions Club. Our community is better because the lions club is part of it.
Special Olympics World Winter Games
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Lawrence MacAulay Cardigan, PE
Mr. Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I rise in this chamber today to pay tribute to an outstanding Prince Edward Island athlete.
Stratford native Michael Morris, who lives in my riding with his mother, Judy, has just returned home from participating in the 2009 Special Olympics World Winter Games, which were held in Boise, Idaho in February, winning two bronze and a silver medal.
Michael has been skiing since he was a youngster and his list of accomplishments over the last few years would make any Olympian proud. He became involved in Special Olympics not for the competition, but for the friendship with other intellectually disabled athletes.
Michael is an inspiration to us all. I know he is proud to be a Canadian and I know how proud he is to carry the Canadian flag at the games.
Once again, I would like to pass my congratulations on to Michael Morris for his triple medal finish at the Special Olympics World Winter Games in Boise, Idaho.
Canada Post
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Maurice Vellacott Saskatoon—Wanuskewin, SK
Mr. Speaker, I rise to celebrate the hard work of the 137 Canada Post employees at the postal plant on 51st Street in Saskatoon, across from my MP office. Those good workers contribute to making Canada Post one of the most trusted federal institutions in the eyes of the Canadian public. I congratulate them on their achievement over many years in making adjustments to transform and enhance the quality of service delivery.
Every day millions of Canadians rely upon Canada Post workers to help them communicate, send and receive payments, advertise and ship their products. We commend Canada Post for directly investing in the future of its employees. A new state of the art mail processing plant has been announced for the Winnipeg International Airport.
I also commend the contribution of Canada Post employees, customers and suppliers in my riding for helping the newly formed Canada Post Foundation for Mental Health reach its 2008 $1 million fundraising goal.
It has been a long and brutal winter and so, for our postal carriers, especially my postal carrier Robert Winslow, we look forward to warmer and sunnier spring days to do their important work in connecting us across the country and around the world.
Ayaan Hirsi Ali
Statements By Members
March 5th, 2009 / 2:05 p.m.
Carole Lavallée Saint-Bruno—Saint-Hubert, QC
Mr. Speaker, Ayaan Hirsi Ali is the Somali woman who became a Dutch citizen and, following the assassination of director Theo Van Gogh, a member of the Dutch Parliament. She wrote the screenplay for the late director's film entitled Submission, which denounced the harm done to a woman in the name of religion. A fatwa was then issued against Ms. Hirsi Ali's life.
While in Montreal this week, she gave a lecture on multiculturalism, which has been official policy in Canada since 1982, but not in Quebec, which chose interculturalism instead. Ms. Hirsi Ali criticized multiculturalism harshly, saying that the policy exempted minorities from obligations that everyone else has. She stated that Quebec's interculturalism, which calls on immigrants to undertake a moral engagement with the Government of Quebec, is more appropriate because immigrants can acquire a better understanding of the host society's values, such as secularism and gender equality.
This government could learn a lot from Ayaan Hirsi Ali's perspective on Canadian multiculturalism.
John Lundrigan
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Tilly O'Neill-Gordon Miramichi, NB
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to a former member of the House, John Lundrigan, who recently passed away at the age of 70.
John served in the House for the riding of Gander—Twillingate from 1968 to 1974. He would later go on to serve in Newfoundland and Labrador's House of Assembly for the electoral district of Grand Falls—Buchans, serving as a cabinet minister in the government.
One notable story of John's time in the House has become legendary. In February 1971 John was speaking in this chamber when the then prime minister, Pierre Trudeau, made, in John's and many other's opinions, a rather unparliamentary remark. Of course Trudeau would argue he never said such naughty language, and so the fuddle duddle scandal was born.
On behalf of all of us, we give our condolences to John's family and friends. He will certainly be missed.
International Women's Day
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Maria Minna Beaches—East York, ON
Mr. Speaker, International Women's Day is Sunday, March 8. It is a time to celebrate the political, social and economic achievements of women past, present and future.
Indeed, women have made great strides in the past century, but as we celebrate today, we still have a fight before us. Only 21% of members of this chamber are women, women still earn only 70¢ on the dollar of what men earn for work of equal value and 80% of unpaid caregiving in our country is done by women who are continuously in and out of the work force to care for sick loved ones and to care for their children. Women are the victims of time poverty.
We have watched as the government removed equality from the mandate of the women's program, closed 12 of 16 regional offices for Status of Women and cut off at the knees funding for research and advocacy. More recent, the government launched its ideological attack on women's human rights by removing their right to pay equity.
Women have a long history of coming together to fight injustices and I stand with those women here today to strive for a better future for women, for true equality.
Leader of the Liberal Party of Canada

Daryl Kramp Prince Edward—Hastings, ON
Mr. Speaker, the leader of the Liberal Party says this about expelling Newfoundland separatist-leaning Senator George Baker from caucus: "That's too ridiculous to discuss".
What is ridiculous is the fact that the leader of the Liberal Party opposite is apparently okay with a member of his caucus, the longest-serving Liberal parliamentarian, talking about forming his separatist political party and potentially seeking its leadership.
To me, as a proud nationalist, this is not only a question of leadership, but a question of principle. The Liberal leader has come back to Canada and he either cannot or will not answer a pretty basic question about whether it is appropriate for someone who condones the creation of a separatist party to be in the Liberal Party.
Will he show his true patriot love today by tossing that senator out of the Liberal Party?
Benjamin Miguel

Don Davies Vancouver Kingsway, BC
Mr. Speaker, I rise to honour and pay homage to a special person who recently passed away in my riding. Mr. Benjamin Miguel was a respected and much loved leader in the Filipino community. He met his end as he lived his life: with strength, courage and dignity.
As the New Democrat spokesperson for multiculturalism, Mr. Miguel's life allows us to reflect on the outstanding contributions of the Filipino community to Canadian society. This community is filled with hardworking and proud men and women, people who celebrate life and create culture.
Their courage, fortitude and dreams of building better lives for their families are an inspiration to us all. From the monthly birthday celebrations of the New Era Society to the community development of the Circulo Ilonggo Association to the charity work of Alpha Phi Omega, the Filipino community in British Columbia is active, creative and vibrant.
In Canada's multicultural fabric, the Filipino threads are woven deeply. I would like to convey our deepest sympathies to Mr. Miguel's family. May his life inspire the sons and daughters of the Filipino community and indeed all of us to honour his legacy and make him proud.
Opposition Parties

Shelly Glover Saint Boniface, MB
Mr. Speaker, yesterday, the opposition members on the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage voted against a motion condemning groups that promote violence and racism. The Liberal-NDP-Bloc coalition is still very much in effect and is protecting such groups.
The Liberals and New Democrats preferred to keep the status quo in this new coalition of intolerance, a coalition whose survival depends once again on a partner whose main objective is not to build a stronger, safer Canada. The Liberals are demonstrating that they do not care much about national unity. I would remind this House that 80% of the advertising revenue of the newspaper Le Québécois comes from the Bloc Québécois.
I am disappointed that the opposition members on this committee are unable to oppose these extremists and unable to defend Canada.

Great Hopes Plantation
The Countryside
About 2,000 people lived in Williamsburg at the time of the American Revolution in the 18th century. Though small by today's standards, it was urban, with streets, residences, shops, public buildings, and other aspects of town life. Most Virginians, however, lived in the country. Male and female, young and old, Native American, European American, and African American, their lives were rural ones, centered on agriculture, and shaped by the land, the climate, the season, and the institution of slavery. To understand Colonial Virginia, and to put the lives of the townspeople of Williamsburg in perspective, we need to know a bit about what it was like to live on one of the many farms that surrounded the town. Compared to the great plantations, most of these were modest, owned by farmers "of the middling sort" or of even more modest means.
Great Hopes Plantation
Great Hopes Plantation is a re-creation of one of these family farms. It did not exist on this site in the 18th century, but its landscape, buildings, animals, and the work and lifestyles of its inhabitants are based on extensive research into small farms in three neighboring counties.
The People
Great Hopes is a living history site. Colonial Williamsburg interpreters and tradespeople engage in the activities that were essential to running a farm and are eager to talk to you about their everyday lives. On your visit, you may meet Historic Farmers tending livestock and growing corn, wheat, and tobacco; members of Colonial Williamsburg's African American Historical Interpretation staff engaging in a variety of agricultural and domestic tasks and discussing the institution of slavery and the life of the enslaved; and, from time to time, Historic Trades carpenters making building materials for new construction projects around town, tasks that a farmer, his sons, and slaves may have undertaken in slow times to generate some extra income.
The Buildings
The farm's buildings include a kitchen, smokehouse, corn house, well, and tobacco house. A log house is the residence of the farm's slaves. The planter's dwelling house — a small, three-room frame building — is slated for construction.
The Fields
Tobacco was the most important crop of the Tidewater region of Virginia. Its sale provided the cash needed to support the farm and its inhabitants. During the mid-18th century, wheat gradually emerged as another cash crop. Corn was important as food. Ground into meal, grits, or hominy, it was the mainstay of everyone's diet. Two gardens, one for the planter's family and one set aside for slaves, provided vegetables and herbs.
The Livestock
Hogs and cattle free-ranged on fallow ground and woodland rather than in pastures. Poultry ran free in the farmyard. Gardens, crop fields, and orchards were fenced to keep livestock from roaming into them. Oxen were the primary draft animals and used for heavy work like plowing and logging. Horses were kept for both travel and light work. While modern requirements prohibit us from letting the animals run free, Great Hopes has a representative group of livestock, many of them rare breeds.
To See and Do
Farming in the 18th century was hard, never-ending work. It required knowledge and skills that most of us today have never experienced. Much was tending crops, gardens, and livestock, but there also were the constant domestic tasks involved in feeding and clothing everyone, housekeeping, and raising families. To find out more about this life and the people who experienced it, check out the links below. Then, come and visit to see, to discuss, and, maybe, even do a bit of work.

BEIJING(AP) Paul Hamm's text message to his twin brother Morgan was simple: ``Thinking of coming to China. What do you think?''
Morgan thinks it's a great idea.
The defending men's gymnastics gold medalist withdrew from the U.S. team last month with hand and shoulder injuries. His twin made the team after dealing with his own injury issues and is the only returning Olympian on the American squad.
Morgan Hamm would welcome having Paul come to Beijing before the men start Saturday.
``I told him to go for it,'' Morgan said Wednesday with a slight smile. ``I told him, 'I'd love to have you here. Get on a plane.'''
Paul Hamm might do just that. No one with USA Gymnastics could be sure of his plans because the text message reached Morgan just before he attended a news conference. So Morgan was uncertain what Paul would do next.
``He texted me: 'You're at the Olympics, I wish I could be there.' I didn't have time to respond,'' Morgan said. ``Just to see him and talk to him about how he is doing and about my gymnastics would be really helpful for both of us.''
Paul and Morgan Hamm were on the 2000 and 2004 Olympic teams. They were 17 at Sydney and 21 at Athens, where Paul won the all-around gold.
``He is at the point of finishing up the sport, while I am at the peak of gymnastics at the Olympics,'' Morgan said. ``We kind of coach each other, so it would be helpful.''

Research, Honors, and Distinctions
Research in Exercise & Sport Sciences
Perhaps more than anything else, graduate study is about exploration and being on the cutting edge. It is about creating, developing, and applying new knowledge. And the graduate faculty at Ithaca College is well prepared to ease a student's transition into the world of research.
The faculty and students in the Exercise & Sport Sciences graduate program have a high level of scholarly achievement—just consider that from 2011-13 we had 18 graduate students author or co-author presentations at national meetings, and our graduate faculty authored 30 additional conference presentations. In the last couple of years our students have presented at the national meetings of the American Psychological Association, the Association for Applied Sport Psychology, the North American Society for the Psychology of Sport and Physical Activity, the American College of Sports Medicine, and numerous regional meetings. We have supported the travel for many of these students, including sending some students to conventions such as the NSCA Conference on Tactical Training in Las Vegas in 2012. These results are remarkable for a master's program of our size.
These achievements continue a strong history. For example, from 2005-2008 Ithaca College graduate faculty and students authored 36 peer-reviewed and professional papers, and presented 59 papers at no fewer than 25 different conferences or venues (19 graduate students were lead or co-authors of these papers and presentations). Further, our students and faculty collaborated with scientists from 15 different institutions, such as the Olympic Training Center.
The quality and quantity of this productivity speaks for itself, and as a prospective graduate student, prepare to be engaged!

Oxford Programs
The Moritz College of Law offers three study-abroad programs in Oxford, England. Below is a brief description of each.
Summer in Oxford Program
The University of Oxford-Ohio State University Summer Law Program is conducted at the University of Oxford from June through August. The program is jointly conducted by the Oxford University Department for Continuing Education and The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law.
It is fully accredited by the American Bar Association, and students may receive up to six semester hours of law school credit. Acceptance of credit is at the discretion of the student's home school, but most ABA-accredited law schools accept credit from the program. All students who have completed at least one year at an ABA-accredited law school are eligible to apply. Admission is on a first come-first served basis.
Courses are taught by both Moritz College of Law and British faculty. Courses that have been offered in the past include Comparative Legal Professions, Comparative Employment Discrimination Law, Comparative Sales and Product Liability Law, European Union Law, Comparative Sentencing and Punishment, International Intellectual Property, Comparative Election Law, Comparative Corporate Law, Comparative Employment Discrimination, Comparative Civil Procedure, and Comparative Dispute Resolution.
Oxford University Pre-Law Program
For over two decades, The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law has offered a unique opportunity for students to study English and American legal systems at one of the oldest universities in the world. Housed at St. Anne's College on the campus of the University of Oxford, the Pre-Law Program provides students with an understanding of English culture and legal institutions fundamental to the American legal system, and exposes students to aspects of British cultural life. This five-week program integrates classes, guest lectures, and field trips to places of legal, historical and cultural interest.
Semester in Oxford Program
The Ohio State-Georgia Law Semester Program at Oxford runs for 15 weeks, from January to April. The program is jointly conducted by the Moritz College of Law and the University of Georgia School of Law and has been approved by the American Bar Association.
The semester in Oxford program is open to both second and third-year law students. Twenty students are selected each year, five through Moritz and 15 through Georgia.
Students take four courses and receive 12 semester hours of credit toward the juris doctor degree. Three of the four courses address comparative and international law subjects, and are taught in a "traditional" small group classroom setting in the Oxford tradition. The fourth course is a supervised research tutorial, in which each student writes a lengthy research paper on a comparative or international law topic of their own choosing.
While enrolled, students are associate members of St. Anne's College, one of the 40 colleges that make up the University of Oxford.

Last week I learned about how Windows handles page faults backed by files (specifically xul.dll). I already knew that Linux was suboptimal in this area, perhaps the clever people at Redmond did better.
Shaver pointed me at xperf, which is sort of like the new Linux perf tools. Xperf rocks in that it can capture the relevant data and it can export it as .csv.
Even with profile-guided-optimization Windows causes 3x as much IO in xul.dll than linux does on libxul.so. That's especially interesting given that xul.dll is one-third smaller on Windows. Here is the graph. PGO isn't helping on Windows as much as it can help on Linux because MSVC PGO doesn't do the equivalent of GCC's -freorder-blocks-and-partition (unless I missed something in the docs).
With the Windows prefetcher, there were 4x less xul.dll IOs (graph here). Unfortunately, the prefetcher can't figure out that the whole xul.dll should be paged in and we still end up with an excess of random IO.
When a page fault occurs, Windows goes to read the page from the file and reads a little extra (just like any other sane OS) assuming that there will be more IO nearby. Unfortunately the gods of virtual memory at Microsoft decided that for every page fault, only 7 extra pages should read. So reads occur in 32K chunks (vs 128K in Linux, which is still too small). To make matters worse, segments mapped in as data only read in 3 extra pages (ie 16K chunks).
This is funny in a sad way. Reading in 32K chunks is supposed to minimize ram usage (which makes no bloody sense when Win7 officially requires 1GB of RAM). As a result of being so thrifty on easy-to-evict file cache, windows ends up doing 4x as much file IO as Linux. The 16K reads are particularly funny as one can see the result of that misoptimization in the string of puny reads on the top right of the graphs.
Surely There is an API like madvise()
On Posix systems madvise() can be used to influence the caching behavior of the OS. fadvise() is another such call for IO based on filehandles. For example, Firefox fastload files are now madvise()ed such that they are read in a single 2mb chunk on startup. Unfortunately, it appears that Windows has no such APIs so one is stuck with pathetically small reads.
At first, I thought that, passing FILE_FLAG_SEQUENTIAL_SCAN when opening the file handle will work like a crappy fadvise()-equivalent. Turns out that mmaping files completely bypasses the Windows Cache Manager, so that flag just gets ignored.
So as far as I can tell the only way to convince Windows to not read stuff in stupidly small chunks is to mmap() everything we care about using large pages. Unfortunately that comes with some significant costs.
We are going to try to order the binaries better which should halve the amount of page faults.
Can Windows Do Anything Better?
Yes. The "Unix way" of breaking up everything into a billion libraries and configuration files results in 10x more files being read on startup on Linux vs Windows. Just because Linux can read individual libraries 4x faster, doesn't mean that IO becomes free.
Presently, in ideal conditions, Firefox starts up 30-50% faster on Windows. The Windows Prefetcher hack sweeps a lot of Windows suck under the carpet, but Microsoft has a lot of room for improvement.

Speothos venaticus is most likely a monogamous species.
Mating System: Monogamous
Captive observations have indicated that Speothos venaticus groups form dominance heirarchies and can exhibit aseasonal reproduction patterns based on social interactions (Nowak 1999). Estrus usually averages 4.1 days, but may be suppressed by these interactions. Polyestrus cycles have also been observed. Estrus reportedly does not begin prior to 10 months of age and until after the pup is separated from other females and paired with males. The average period between observed births is roughly 238 days with a gestation period of 67 days. One to six pups are born with a mean of 3.8 pups which weigh 130-190 g and nurse from 8 weeks to 5 months. (Nowak, 1999)
Key Reproductive Features: Iteroparous; Gonochoric/gonochoristic/dioecious (sexes separate); Sexual; Viviparous

The Rochester area economy declined in January for the second consecutive month, as unemployment rose and the area lost private-sector jobs, the state Department of Labor reported Tuesday.
The unemployment rate was 9.1 percent in January, up from 8.7 percent a year ago and 8 percent in December. The metro area includes Monroe, Livingston, Ontario, Orleans and Wayne counties.
Data in the report are not seasonally adjusted. The most valid comparison with this type of data are year-to-year comparisons of the same month, the Labor Department noted.
Statewide, the unemployment rate was 9.4 percent, compared with 9.1 percent in January 2012 and 8.2 percent in December. Some 898,600 people were unemployed statewide in January, compared with 788,300 in December and 868,400 a year ago.
The number of unemployed in Rochester in January was 47,500, compared with 45,100 in January 2012 and 41,500 in December. Some 474,200 people were employed here in January, compared with 476,000 in January 2012 and with 478,900 in December.
Area unemployment rates, not seasonally adjusted, were:
The jobless rate in the Buffalo-Niagara region was 9.6 percent in January, compared with 9.1 percent in January 2012. The unemployment rate in Syracuse was 9.8 percent in January, up from 9.5 percent a year ago, not seasonally adjusted.
Last week the Department of Labor reported a slight increase in the number of non-farm jobs and a decline in the number of private-sector jobs in Rochester. The region was one of four upstate with private-sector job losses from January 2012 to January this year.

The Society is committed to educating our students to be 21st century citizens who understand the Rule of Law, the concept of justice, how our courts and government work, and what are our founding documents that preserve this democracy. Justice Sandra Day O'Connor has made a wonderful start by founding iCivics to reverse the declining civic knowledge and participation of our students. Judith S. Kaye, Former Chief Judge of the State of New York, is on Justice O'Connor's national leadership team to make this happen. The iCivics site has a rich collection of educational video games and teaching materials. The Society looks forward to joining this initiative by promoting the education of New York State's elementary school students, as well as older students, in these vital areas.
We hope to provide here elementary school resources available to our State's students and teachers in the coming months.

Public outreach and engagement with the American people and media to present and explain U.S. foreign policy is one of the key missions of the Bureau of Public Affairs. Last week, I had the opportunity to spend two days in Miami, Florida, where I visited our Media Hub of the Americas -- one of six State Department media hubs worldwide (Dubai, London, Brussels, Tokyo, Pretoria, and Miami). The hubs are strategically located throughout the world to serve as satellite offices of the Bureau of Public Affairs. The Media Hub of the Americas is the only one located stateside with a two-track goal of communicating America's foreign policy to Spanish-speaking media within the United States and throughout the Americas.
I had a packed schedule principally focused on outlining U.S. foreign policy priorities for 2012, including discussing the Administration's keen focus on addressing the common challenges we face in the Hemisphere through partnerships with Latin American and Caribbean countries. Together, governments throughout the Americas are working to improve citizen security, generate economic opportunity, promote energy independence, and advance democracy and human rights.
The first day, I held a roundtable with talented journalists who write for wire services and print media based in Miami. Luckily, I had had my cortado (espresso with a touch of warm milk) with my fruit-packed breakfast, as these journalists kept me on my toes with their sharp questions. I also benefited from their observations and analysis of the trends in the region. Next, I did an interview with the renowned Latin American editor and syndicated foreign affairs columnist with the Miami Herald, Andres Oppenheimer. We discussed U.S. goals for the upcoming Summit of the Americas in Cartagena, Colombia on April 14-15, economic opportunities in the region, including trade promotion and educational and technology exchanges, and U.S.-Latin America relations in general.
Our team, including our Media Hub Director Melissa Martinez, re-grouped during a lunch stop at a cafe that took me back to my Spanish roots with its delicious assortment of authentic tapas, including arroz negro -- rice in squid's ink. What's not to like? We didn't linger though, as I was whisked away to four radio "hits" starting with the engaging Julio Sanchez Cristo at Radio Caracol, a Spanish news/talk radio station owned by Grupo Latino de Radio. By the time the fourth radio interview came around, I was in a groove and enjoyed my fast-paced interview with the incredibly funny and sharp host, Agustin Acosta of Radio Actualidad, a Spanish-language AM radio station that focuses on local, national, and international news content for the Hispanic market.
The final official event of the day included a program and reception that we co-sponsored with the Center for Hemispheric Policy based at the University of Miami. I spoke about the Administration's 2012 global foreign policy priorities and took questions from a varied audience of academics, business people, students, NGOs, diplomats, and political figures. It was really neat to meet a student from "the U" (the University of Miami for non-football fans) who had just been accepted to an internship with our embassy in Australia -- I sure hope she enjoys it and decides she wants to join the Foreign Service as we are always looking for talent. My reward after an intense day was a team dinner at a terrific Caribbean restaurant, which showed off Miami's flair for big flavors, fun, and full embrace of the multiculturalism for which it is famous.
The second day, we started early with a meeting with the dynamic Program Director of the Knight Foundation. I left breakfast inspired by the foundation's innovative and cutting edge programs, and hopeful that there are numerous opportunities for collaboration. Next up: a courtesy call and interview at Radio and TV Marti, the Cuba Office of Broadcasting, followed by an interview at Univision for its leading current affairs Sunday program, "Al Punto," hosted by Jorge Ramos. The interview took me around the globe, touching on issues from Central and South America to the Middle East to back home again. Speaking of which, after two packed and productive days, I found myself back on a plane headed for home.
For more on what I discussed during my trip, here are the links to some of my Spanish language interviews: Radio La W, Univision, and Radio Caracol. You can also learn more about the work of the State Department's worldwide media hubs in this month's edition of State Magazine.

Your CFR noodlehead who wants a surgical strike on Iran should be advised there is no such thing as a surgical strike on a modern nation. The proper term would call that an act of aggression.
Surgical strikes exist for small or primitive nations where people live in mud huts or where they barely keep their automobiles running. It means all-out war with any nation large enough to do nuclear research, and we are more vulnerable than Iran. So forget that.
Get your nuclear facts from your inspections, not your nightmares. Actually do the work, not speculate and guess. Let the IAEA help you. That's what you pay the dues for. Stop listening to the CFR.
BDC in Burma writes:
This is Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) which is the global campaigning and lobbying organisation to restore democracy, human rights and rule of law in Burma where everyone can enjoy the freedom of speech, press, beliefs, assembly and rule of law that emphasizes the protection of individual rights. Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) warmly welcomes the release of hundreds of political prisoners. According to the list of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi's NLD network inside Burma who are supporting prisoners and visiting prisons around the country -- the numbers are approximately nearest well documented by NLD that there are 591 political prisoners in Burma.
Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) also welcomes US Government decision to normalise diplomatic relation in response to Burma Government's positive steps taken. Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) encourages international community to engage more with Burma in order to balance China's influence over Burma. Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) truly believes that more engagement would effectively promote political, civil, democratic and economic freedom in Burma.
Daw Aung San Suu Kyi has already invited investment and tourism in Burma. Please do invest in Burma and please do visit Burma. Burma is facing challenges ahead which we must address sensibly, wisely and realistically for her quest for democracy. Burma must resolve poverty, corruptions, poor technology, and lack of expertise, poor banking, unemployment and inflation and fiscal and monetary policies.
Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) calls for investment in Burma which will significantly boost the welfare of the Burmese people. By removing investment and trade sanction on Burma, Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) truly believes that Burmese citizens will have the benefits of increased investment which can bring technology, knowledge and democratic values since outside investment strengthens private institutions. At the same time, Burma must work hard to end the economics monopoly and cronyism in Burma. Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) welcomes tourists visiting Burma so as to promote ordinary Burmese people engaging with people from around the world.
Burma needs technology and financial assistance from international community to help rebuilding the nation after five decades of isolation and economics mismanagement. Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) is very concerned that due to the sanction imposed on Burma as the subsequence crucial international aid are stopped delivering in Burma. Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) calls for international community to provide more humanitarian assistance and development aid inside Burma and since in the past most of the US government's aid programme went to organisations based in Thailand. If there are obstacles blocking aids going inside Burma then we must remove them immediately since we don't want to hurt the livelihood of the ordinary people of Burma whom are suffering from reputation risk. Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) opposes anything hurting people.
Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) is very sad to learn that Burma receives less foreign aid money than any country in Southeast Asia because of the sanction imposed on Burma. For example, in 2009-10 Burma receives only $US7.2 per capita of Overseas Development Assistance (ODA) while neighbouring Laos received $US64.4. Particularly international community must remove all sanctions that block technical assistance in health and social welfare. Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) is very shocked to learn that restrictions imposed by western countries prohibit assistance from reaching any member of the government because of which prohibit providing any assistance such as even providing training to teachers and health workers.
Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) calls for more assistance and international investment in education, social and health care in Burma. We call for International Monetary Fund (IMF), World Bank (WB) and the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to help tackling poverty in Burma.
Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) truly believes that Burma is on the right track for democratic change. In order to help reliving the suffering of the people of Burma, we must have common position amongst all parties concerned by putting national interest first. Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) calls for international community to remove TOURISM, TRADE and INVESTMENT sanction on Burma in order to alleviate suffering of Burmese people who are suffering from REPUTATION RISK and to encourage Burmese government's reform process which had already started.
We would like to thank the millions people around the world who helped us to make Burma to be the free democratic society. Let us stand united overcoming all challenges.
Yes We Can!
We Will Win!

@ Zharkov in the U.S.A.
A modern nation is a democratic nation.
Iran and Syria are not democratic nations. All of which make them NON-modern!
You wouldn't debate with me on this right?
Otherwise I'll "flickr" you… (CHUCKLE) with the most amazing pictures of the Democracy they (priests) think about…
If you want no surgeries you could possibly go to a wise perscription arrow like Dr. Eric offered: (by providing a great article4thought)
This idea is a very good medicine! I agree with him (again)!
But, Z are you so sure that the patients (Syria, Iran) will use the written prescripted pills?
They may try a nuclear therapy...
and then we are dead!
Eric in New Mexico writes:
@ John in Greece,
Zharkov acually agrees with me in principal Re: "Surgical strikes".
(As posted on WaPo linked op-ed-comments w/ minor typo corrections and abreviated colorful language);
I think it was Winston Churchill who stated "Words are the worst form of communication ever invented by man." (someone please correct me if I got this wrong), and whether that be back-channel or public, if the other guy ain't listening, there's not a lot a leader of any nation can do to invoke "behavior change".
Sanctions arn't likely to as they are more effecxtive at slowly bankrupting a government, who will then simply apply the cost of policy on the merits of the trickle down economic theory of maintaining power as practiced under sanction...onto the backs of the people. And as we've seen over all these years behavior simply goes from bad to worse in Iran's case.
Bombing may induce behavior change from bad to worse, as such, and should only be undertaken for the sole purpose of removing a government from power and eliminating its capacity to make war...period.
However, if you bill a government for its political stupidity directly, as I suggested we do with Iran in sending a $32 trillion bill for the last 32 years of state sponsored and led chants of "death to America" every Friday at prayers, I flat guarrantee you'll get their undivided attention....(chuckle)...because the ayatollah knows we'd have every reason in the world to come and collect if neccesary.
It doesn't give them time to go from bad to worse, or make the people suffer , only time to arrange payment to avoid instant bankruptcy or find a hidy hole to crawl into.
And when we do come to collect on the debt owed us from ill intent by dictators, hidy holes are the first place we generally look so the options are quite limited for billionare mullahs and the Iranian government in general.
I believe in giving folks a choice between war and peace, and at 32 trillion being the price they pay for peace; to preach peace instead of praying for our demise, that's a lot cheeper than the price the ayatollah will pay for refusing to pay the bill we send him and his government. And if we have to collect, it will be a fair price the Iranian people will have to pay to have us level the playing field for their aspirations of freedom to become manifest when we come "repo" Iran in order to give their country back to them.
At which point since Iran will be broke, we'll own it anyway, lock, stock and every barrel of oil they got.
This is simply an elegantly pragmatic way of addressing a fundemental beef the American public has since folks wanna know how we're going to pay for the wars dictators and terrorists seem so bound and determined to get us into.
I agree with Mr. Ignatius on his basic premis that we have to find a better way to communicate. Money talks as (BS) walks, so they say....
If folks wonder how I came up with the figure of 1 trillion per year for every year one ayatollah or another has been leading chants of "death to America" , I like big round numbers and it's right around the base ammount of the annual US government's budget (give a few hundreds of billions on the + side of that) and I wasn't figuring in "daily compounded interest" so the bill's exact ammount being subject to US gov. approval isn't mine to write the invoice for, that's Treasury and the GAO's job, since the Treasury Dept is the one to put the lien on Iran.
Now that's how I'd target the central bank of Iran if folks want to step up the financial pressure a tad.
Can anyone tell me if S&P would up our credit rating to a quad AAAA++++ with an "accounts recievable" that erased the defict on paper instantaneously (subject to collection action) and would a virtual 15 trillion dollar surplus on top of that former defict mean Congress wouldn't need to raise the Debt ceiling again, and can anyone at DoD tell me (or State/USAID) if they'd be looking at trimming their operating budgets to the bare bones effective operational minimum?
Would it end the partsan bickering in Congess over entitlement programs? Can any fat cat on Wall St. or in Congress tell me what kind of economic stimulous might be in order? Job creation? Economic recovery?
Let me count the ways the Ayatollah will be given to understand just why we would have every reason to come and collect on top of all the accumulated causus belli his government has given us to take unilateral action in our own self defense over the years folks....
Can you hear me now Mr. President? You just got another option tossed on your desk, being "all options are on the table" excepting this one that no one's thought about before now, least to the public's knowledge.
Hope he'll use it wisely.
You nailed it-
"Modern" by logical definition is after all, an evolving "great experiment" in which the "art of the possible" abides.

Wsake hair combs put a sleek and modern spin on an old-fashioned ladies' vanity mainstay. The brass picks come in charming shapes like Looking Guy, Tulip, Square and Lace, and with time the patina will darken to a golden brown color.
Robes tend to reflect a justifiable luxury: they keep you warm and comfy post-shower or whenever you need a little coziness. Here, Coyuchi updates the classic unisex spa robe with an airy waffle pattern. Crafted from fine organic cotton, the robe comes in both gray and Alpine white colorways. Additionally, it's washing-machine safe.
Caroline Ventura's minimal jewelry brand brvtvs might be subtle, but clearly makes a sophisticated statement. Handmade in her NYC studio, this 14k gold band is delicate and easily paired with other accessories, but the inside features a hidden detail: a gorgeous conflict-free diamond. Available in sizes 3 to 7, with a white or black diamond, the ring measures a super-fine 2mm.
With education as its primary function, STEMI's hexapod kit teaches users how to build a six-legged robot and then program its movements. Of the many brain-expanding elements, a better understanding of 3D models and electronics' technologies are applicable beyond the exciting toy. All tutorials are housed online and everything users need comes in the box. Smartphone controlled, the Hexapod itself is an educational toy unlike any other.
Whether you're suffering from post-holiday blues or a case of the Mondays, usually the best treatment is to kickstart your creativity. One easy and affordable way to do that is a good old doodle or freewrite. This notebook from Poketo is especially useful because it quite literally tells you to get creative—the front (and back) say "Art Every Day."
Joining forces again, Australian brands POMS and Pared have created new sunglasses for 2017 and while they are decidedly retro, they are also present day-playful—thanks to some dangly details. Both arms of the new design come complete with a silver and Swarovski Briolette charm attachment, for some seriously fun flair. Available in six colorways (tortoiseshell, black, lilac, clear, ivory or pink) these sunnies offer 100% UVA and UVB protection. (Price is in AUD.)
Joining forces for the second time, Beats by Dre and Alexander Wang have released a pair of super-functional, wireless headphones. These limited edition, over-ear headphones are foldable for easy transporting, and have chic, crocodile-embossed leather ear-pads. Also coming with a matching gray leather case, these headphones combine Wang's sleek style and Beats' impressive sound for a solid collaboration.
Rather than donning a black or gray raincoat, or even the standard yellow version, why not bring radiance to the storm with one of Gorman's brightly colored offerings. Our pick is the Harlequin, with its rainbow hues and scribble-like pattern. With elasticized toggles on the hood and hem to keep you encased, you'll stay dry in this cheerful number. Available in S/M or M/L.
Made in Massachusetts, Shire City Herbals' Fire Cider has been tingling our tongues and throats whenever we feel under the weather for some time now. The apple cider vinegar-based recipe becomes palatable with a little local honey and organic oranges. The zing comes from lemons, onions, horseradish root, ginger root, habanero pepper, garlic and turmeric—certainly an extra kick for those who need it. Liquid torture for some; a miracle tonic for others, you can take it straight or add it to a hot toddy.
This set of six differently shaped plates, with six different faces, was made by the very talented French artist Jean Jullien for Case Studyo. Hand-cast in porcelain, the plates are also in an array of colors—from coral to mint green and pale yellow. Of course each character is endearing in Jullien's trademark way, and the fact that they are all different shapes, colors and sizes only adds to the charm. Made in an edition of 250, these plates are set to ship in February. (Price is in Euros.)
More than a regular bag to tote your goods around (though it will do that), this bag from Power & Light Press donates all proceeds to Planned Parenthood. Listing all the services that PP offers—perhaps for those who believe it exists purely to provide abortions—the bag is simply printed with various essentials like pap smears, counseling and more. (Note: they are changing "mammogram" to "breast exam" for all future orders.)
Made from 100% brass, this gorgeous Philodendron leaf mobile is one plant you will never kill. Since the material will develop a patina as it ages, it can be hung somewhere warm and dry to slow the process—or the opposite to hasten it. Crafted in Portland, Oregon, it ships flat and needs no tools for assembly.
Far from a traditional calendar, this wooden 3D Dodecal designed by Ric Bell makes for a beautiful desk accessory. With 12 faces (aka a dodecahedron) this calendar has the months and days laser-engraved on each side—so all you need to do is flip each month. Made from sustainably sourced European Sycamore wood, this piece weighs 320 grams and has been handcrafted using both traditional woodworking techniques and technology. Price is in British Pounds.
Made from 100% natural fair-trade hemp, Shed collars for pets come adorned with all kinds of playful and provocative patterns. From marijuana leaves to dinosaurs, smiley poop and boobs, they are each as silly and cute as the next. Available in small, medium or large, they can fit small dogs, cats and even "small bears," so your best pal will be the right size for one of these fun accessories.
With 100 recipes for dishes and drinks from beloved NYC cafe Egg Shop, the upcoming cookbook (which is available for pre-order now) is full of yummy treats. Not only does the book include super-helpful egg-cooking techniques, there are also tips on sourcing quality bacon and the best kind of cheese for melting. We're looking forward to attempting the delicious Egg Shop B.E.C at home.
Measuring 8.375 inches, this Pizza skate deck is bold and definitely not for carb-free skate enthusiasts. This split-stain deck comes with a sheet of grip (black or clear) and has a decidedly retro vibe.
It might not seem like 9000 bottles is a small batch, but when considering global distribution, this product quickly becomes scarce. Continuing their celebrated Tun 1509 series, No 3 features 31 single malts married in a tun hailing from 31 different casks, including 12 sherry butts distilled between 1989 and 1992; 11 American oak hogsheads distilled in 1989; and eight refill American oak butts distilled in 1992 and 1993. The resulting flavor profile is Balvenie through and through—with that Speyside vanilla sweetness upfront but layers of spice below.

Hey all, I recently accepted a new position with a company in Portland, Oregon. I've never been there, but everyone I've talked to who has had nothing but good things to say. I'd love to get some feedback from anyone on here who's lived there, traveled there, visited relatives or friends there, or whatever.
I'm looking for a nice, affordable 2 bedroom apartment. What neighborhoods should I look in or avoid? My work is going to be in Northeast Portland, so I'd like to stay within a short commute.
Any recommendations for activities? I know it's a very outdoorsy sort of joint, but I've never been huge into hiking, biking or anything like that. I'll do all that once, just so I can say I did, but I'm more focused on the arts and music scene. I'm also a tabletop RPG/strategy gamer, so if anybody knows any good venues, that'd be appreciated.
Lastly, as fits the nature of this forum, where do I need to go to eat, drink and be merry? Good bars, must-hit restaurants? I know the city has a proliferation of microbreweries, so that'll be fun.
Any input would be really appreciated. Thanks much.
