Skip to comments.Rising number of states seeing one-party rule
Posted on 11/10/2012 9:33:32 PM PST by george76
In a little-noticed footnote to last weeks election, state legislature elections this year have produced the highest number of states with one-party rule in 60 years. Democrats or Republicans now have sole control of the governorship and both legislative chambers in 37 state capitals around the country.
According to the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL), which tracks party representation in the countrys 50 state governments, Democrats now control all three bases of power the governorship and both houses of the state legislature in 14 states and Republicans in 23, with only 12 states sharing power. (Nebraskas unicameral legislature is considered nonpartisan.)
Regional power bases are also emerging, with Democrats increasingly dominating state governments across New England.
Conversely, after last weeks vote, the GOP for the first time since 1872 now controls the Arkansas House and Senate. Just 20 years ago, Republicans didnt have a majority in a single legislative house in the states of the old Confederacy now they control all 11.
The number of states with divided government is down from 31 just 16 years ago to 12 today, prompting speculation on the countrys evolving partisan geography.

Battle lines are being drawn.
If I did not know better, the US appears headed for a political version of the Thirty Years' War.
France shouldn't make the Germans mad. ..We know what
usually comes after.
If only there was a way to split it up. Unfortunately, it boils down to Democrats controlling the concentrated parasite nests ("cities") and Republicans controlling the rest of the landscape inhabited by normal, taxpaying, traditional American families. So there's really no way to pile together all the parasite nests into one geographic area and let the scumbags have it. What a predicament.
unfortunately, the rats have the big states and the pubs have the little states....we need to change election laws in the swing states and its going to be impossible to do with the rats...
In all of those Republican states, and in any others where it can be done, if they have not done so already, they should a) come up with strict voter ID laws, and b) limit or eliminate early voting. If not dealt with, these are areas ripe for Democrat vote fraud.
Democrats now have a super majority in California. Republicans are totaly irrelevant. before Republicans could atleast hold out. Not now.
owebama did not win a single state that has voter I.D. laws.
PA, OH, FL, WI, CO, NV, MI, CA, WA, OR, etc. all have heavily populated urban areas controlled by demoncrats that had unbelievable vote percentages for his majesty. The rural areas of those states went mostly for Romney.
Now we know how elections are stolen.
The easiest (therefore least likely) solution if they aren't going to require voters to show I.D. is proportional assignment of electoral college votes based on how areas within a state voted.
I live in Idaho where we DO have voter I.D. We went about 70/30 for R and R. FUBO!!!
Lucky me. I live in socialist utopia Maryland funded by our heros in DC.
Conversely, after last weeks vote, the GOP for the first time since 1872 now controls the Arkansas House and Senate. Just 20 years ago, Republicans didnt have a majority in a single legislative house in the states of the old Confederacy now they control all 11.
TN has a super majority in both houses plus governor. If anyone thinks the south is going down easy, they need to think again
So theres really no way to pile together all the parasite nests into one geographic area and let the scumbags have it. What a predicament.
We have railroads and plenty of cattle cars
We could afford to let them have a good port. However, Los Angeles is a port only because most of the Colorado River is so diverted (correct me if I'm wrong on that).
Send them all there and shut down the water supply.
Problem solved.
unfortunately, the rats have the big states and the pubs have the little states...
Last I saw, the dims only had Florida in the south (through fraud) and very little in the middle of the country. Look at the map. It would be very difficult to survive in a blue area without the reds agreeing to it
owebama did not win a single state that has voter I.D. laws.
As has been pointed out earlier on this forum, Ohio has voter ID law
It was pointedly not enforced this cycle. It will be in place for the next elections.
I was under the impression that their voter ID law was tied up in court thanks to owebama's department of justice for my people.
I don't think that's correct — I think there are 3 states with voter ID laws that went to Obama.
I read the funniest article in Salon a few days ago. (funny peculiar, not haha).
Salon is staunchly left, and read by the left. They were celebrating the absolute supermajority CA had by the extreme left, because the state was in SUCH trouble, and it was the evil Republicans (I kid you not!) that had destroyed it! Now that the beneficent and intelligent Dems had TOTAL control, utopia would finally come forth!
I feel for all the freepers in CA, but other than that, it is going to be such fun to watch it implode. Although of course, Obama's probably going to force all the rest of us to bail out the mess they are going to make.
owebama did not win a single state that has voter I.D. laws.
Could have been. The problem with voter fraud is that turnouts of over 100% not being addressed by the courts. Fl is a red state (barely) PA probably too. Voter ID probably wouldn't have solved either without some elementary math. More people voted than existed. This will only be solved by the people, not the courts or the laws
Also paper ballots, purple ink voters' fingers to stop voting twice, locked boxes with audit trails, count ballots right at the local polling place.
ID is only one piece of the solution.
Need to ensure the COUNT is not fraudulent.
Can we divide this country in two? Cessation baby!
All good suggestions!
There are a lot if ice cream vendors out there giving away free ice cream.
Really bad news this AM (maybe unrelated) .. Large Blast In Indy ... http://news.yahoo.com/indy-blast-2-homes-destroyed-more-afire-061319439.html;_ylt=Aqjdnf5zQ9eoc4FTvnc9Z2MJVux_;_ylu=X3oDMTIxNTFwdjhlBG1pdANBVFQgSG9tZSBXaWRnZXRyb24gVGVzdCAxBHBvcwM0BHNlYwNNZWRpYUF0dFdpZGdldHJvbkFzc2VtYmx5;_ylg=X3oDMTFpNzk0NjhtBGludGwDdXMEbGFuZwNlbi11cwRwc3RhaWQDBHBzdGNhdANob21lBHB0A3NlY3Rpb25z;_ylv=3
dems control the political power bases. Republicans control where the food and energy are produced. Let's play chicken.
And what exactly would be your demarcation? On which side would you place a state that has not voted for a RAT Presidential cxandidate in 16 years, that is one of only three states where Zer0 didn't win a single county last Tuesday and yet for decades has been (and remains) firmly under RAT control?
Democrats think the Republican states are all backward hillbillies and will be glad to let them go.
Is it time to split the electorial votes between districts and finally give the people in outlying areas a little representation?
Unless we get rid of The Mikes we are doomed.
My guess is that you are speaking of West Virginia.
Just like Arkansas, it will eventually come around. The epiphany will come when Jay Rockefeller is finally dumped.
The corruption and dysfunctionality of the WV GOP makes that an event I would bet my life savings against ever happening.
We almost always have one-party rule in my state, and it's always the wrong party!
Maryland "Freak State" PING!
To recap the state leg races
We won both Houses in Arkansas for the first time since the Grant Administration. We barley have the House 51-48 with a former Harlem globetrotter winning one seat as a Green (you can't make this stuff up, he was a former rat state rep who was forced out for some reason). As with other southern states we can probably expect some party switches to pad the majority.
We won the Alaska State Senate which had been tied and even before the tie was controlled by a disgusting rat-rino coalition. At least 13 (out of 20 seats) Republicans were elected with rat leader Hollis French narrowly ahead in one outstanding race. They elected new leadership and put the coalition to an end.
We won back the Wisconsin Senate as expected (we lost it thanks to those lame ass recalls).
And now the losses
Both Houses in Maine.
Both Houses in Minnesota (I think the Senate is a 4 year term)
The New Hampshire House (we kept the Senate 13-11) Obama lovers voting straight ticket dem in NH.
The New York Senate, again ( :( )
The Colorado House which we narrowly had won in 2010.
And we lost the tie we had in the Oregon House.
And it looks like fraud keeps democrats in charge of the Iowa Senate.
I know TSR, "Forget about it JVb's, it's Maryland."
Dozens of red counties in Tennessee had similar results. Conservatives...get to a red state...there is strength in numbers.
Get RID of 'early voting'. I am a big fan of paper ballots...I can wait a few days for the results on an HONEST election. The one last week was NOT honest, and we all know it.
Nh House is bizarre. How can you go from 70% to minority? Perhaps there is no franking, so incumbents have little advantage. it also means they did not work their districts hard during their term. Of course, the pay is minimal so it is very part time.
I met Speaker O'Brien during the Newt campaign. Not impressed. Not at all. So if he gets the blame, that is fine. It is depressing for the conservatives who live in Nh that they are under complete assault, both by the RINO GOP leadership and then the inundation of liberalism into their state. They should have passed tough border control laws and immigration restrictions years ago when the MASS border was less porous.
I have lobbying conservatives to get out of Red Hampshire for several years. NH Freepers kept arguing their case..."look what 2010 did for the State Legislature...Republicans everywhere...NH is back on the road to conservative rule.'
They have been conspicuously silent the past week or so...they have NOTHING to hang their hat on...except Lindsay Graham's new BFF, Kelley Ayotte. (snicker)
I take it that we need to get more beermakers to run as Republicans, since they're the only ones who won last Tuesday? I mean, that's what I assume you meant when you wrote:
"We barley have the House 51-48"
And, a few minutes earlier:
"Who won in an Obama state? Heller, barley."
: )
I don't always invert letters, but when I do, I prefer it amuses someone. ;-D
As to why Heller's victory was as narrow as the neck of a beer bottle, we have Independent American (state affiliate of the Constitution Party) Candidate David VanderBeek to thank. James VanderBeek's mentally irregular cousin? He got nearly 5%.
Though I suppose some of his voters were just idiots attracted to the word "Independent", unaware that it's a conservative party.
The districts are so tiny, coupled with all the turnover in recent elections most people probably have no idea who their state Rep is.
The majority voted RAT for everything else so why not State House?
Polarized America File.
the districts are not that small because each town has multiple house reps. Some towns are in multiple different districts which have multiple reps.
Of course, if there were 500 districts, they would be small. But if that small some would not be able to find candidates. I know one very small town that has 2 reps in one district and also is in a different district with 2 other reps.
I do not know why NH swung so wildly to the DEMS. The ronPaul peeples maybe did not like MITT. NH is so less interesting with the RINOs a majority control over a minority party. Blaming the Mass-immigrants ... the rural northern counties also are trending RAT.
Those dems just didn't vote in 2010. They did in 2008.

Well, this is it. The time has come and as we get ourselves all geared up to leave on Sat there is such a mixture of emotions. The rest of our team flew in yesterday and we processed and got the coolest USA gear EVER. We went from station to station getting our opening and closing ceremony Ralph Lauren uniforms, our podium wear, various workout tops and bottoms, 4 pairs of shoes, sweat pants, rings, luggage, and it kept coming and coming. To say I was overwhelmed is an understatement. As I came back to my room and laid it all out on my bed I guess you could say it all started to sink in a bit. Then we went to the pool and got all of our Speedo swimsuits and parkas and even more clothes. I'm pretty sure at this point I could be set for a long while wearing only the new clothes that we got. It's pretty cool.
At the pool yesterday we had to try on our new suits to get them altered as they have to take off the left leg of my suit and sew it up. We were lucky enough to each get the new Speedo suit called the LZR. If you watched any of the swimming these are what most of the swimmers were wearing. It took me a solid 25 min. to get into it and at one point I had 2 people helping me. It was so difficult to get on and once it was on, I can't say it was easy to breathe…but if it makes me go faster I'll take the extra time to get it on right. It was pretty funny as I was all red faced and sweaty by the time I got it on. I think that could have been my workout for the day.
Today we had a bunch of meetings all about Beijing and media and other topics. There were a number of speakers that spoke to the fact about how honored we should all be to be representing the USA. It started to sink in a little more at this point. I think all along it's going to sink in more and more and then once we are in Beijing it's just going to hit me. I still don't think I've grasped the magnitude of what my teammates and I are about to go do. When I think about it it seems as though I'm thinking of someone else. Then I have to pinch myself and realize that I too, am part of Team USA. How cool is that.
So we leave on Sat for Okinawa, Japan and the Kadena Air Force base. We will be there for about 10 days and on Sep. 2nd we will fly into Beijing. Opening ceremonies are Sep. 6th and my first day of competition is the 7th. Since my first day of competition is the first day I am really torn on whether to go to opening ceremonies or not. I feel like I can't go to the Paralympics and not go to the opening ceremonies. I can only imagine that walking into the stadium as one USA team wearing the red, white and blue has got to be an amazing, pride filled, unforgettable experience. I have been told by many that it is a highlight not to be missed. On the other hand, I don't want to jeopardize my race the next day. It will be a big decision for me and I'll have to wait and see what I feel at the moment.
This is my last blog that will be posted on this site. If you want to continue to follow my time in Japan and on to Beijing I have a personal blog at
I hope you have enjoyed reading my blogs to this point. I urge you all to go to
and watch some of the sports that will take place and hear some of the athletes' stories. You can also go to

- ferrets lack a cecum to digest/ process fuits and vegetables.
- a ferrets left lung has 2 lobes, while the right has 4.
- a ferrets body contains 14 or 15 pairs of ribs.
- a kit has 30 baby teeth, while an adult has 34.
- food fully travels throughout their system in 3 hours.
as the name implies, these fuzzy little creatures that capture
our heart and soul are not rodents; they are from the mustildae
family with cousins consisting of the mink, weasel, otter,
skunk, badger and european polecat. unlike their cousins, the
domesticated ferret is not wild nor feral. in fact if left
outside on it's own they would most likely die without human
intervention in a few day as their survival instincts at best
is extremely minimal.
while these little creatures warm our hearts and depend on
us for their every need, they are not the right pet for everyone.
taking on the responsibilities of caring for a ferret and knowing
what their care and health needs are should be considered before taking
the step of bringing one home.
a ferrets normal life span is from 7 - 9 years, and beginning
at the age of 2-3 they are susceptible to two very common serious
illnesses: insulinoma and adrenal
disease, which could require medical and/or surgical intervention,
which could become quite costly. a ferret will need to be seen
by a ferret knowledgeable veterinarian at least annually for
a check-up and required vaccines consisting of rabies (imrab3)
and distemper (purevax-d). though not approved for use in ferrets,
galaxy-d has been used safely for years and provides the necessary
ferrets should be housed in a cage when supervision, or a
dedicated ferret proof room
cannot be provided. the cage should provide ample room for
playing, as well as house a litter box, water bottle, food
bowl, and various hammocks to relax in. rabbit cages or cages
of this size are not appropriate. while they will
be content and happy in their cage, they do require ample time
out of their cage to run free and burn off the energy they
have an abundance of. minimally, they should let out for 3-4
hours each day.
while they are very social creatures, care and attention should
be given at all times around other pets, especially young children.
young children tend to grab and pull, and the small ferret
weighing around 1.5-4 pounds could get hurt and attack in self-defense.
ferrets (or any pet) should never be
left unsupervised with children.
owning any pet should be a lifetime commitment, regardless
of their health, needs and/or expenses involved. while these
fuzzy little babies with their crazy little antics keep us
entertained and provide an eternity of love, it's important
to ensure they're the right pet for you and that you can take
on the full commitment and responsibility they trust you will
- ferret's normal rectal temperature is between 100 - 104 with 101.9 being the average.
- heart rate is 180 - 250 bpm with 225 being average.
- respiration is 33-36 per minute.
- normal urine ph is 6.5 - 7.5
- blood volume is 60-80 ml/ kg.
- ferrets do possess toxoplasmosis in their systems. however, unlike cats they cannot release/
shed the infected eggs back into the environment, they hit a dead end, so humans cannot catch the disease.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (435 votes).
In short: Enjoyable for my first time but there is one big killer hill! :DDate of review: January 24, 2013
In short: Fun race, challenging but good atmosphereIn full: Really enjoyed this as this is my local half marathon and had been meaning to enter for years. The route is quite hilly - very few flat stretches except through the residential areas but attractive. It crosses the M25 but this was quite fun as a lot of the cars beeped at us for support! The marshals were supportive and lots of families were out in their front lawns to cheer us on. The water was provided in cups, which might be annoying for some, but I prefer that since I carry my own drink anyway and just want a few sips of water along the way. Nice medal and you get a t-shirt and lolly too. There's a good runner's village with a number of stalls and marquees. The only problems were the tiny number of lavatories and parking. I live in St Albans and thought I was being "clever" by finding alternative areas to park, but these were full too. It took a long time to get out of the city centre (would have been faster for me to walk home!!). Quite a few warnings of doom for about people wearing headphones!! Overall I enjoyed the race and will be back next year - just won't be driving to the event. Date of review: July 21, 2012
In short: Really nice course, decent medal and a lolly on a hot day. Sadly let down a bit by the terrible parking arrangements. I'd definitely do it again if the parking was improved!Date of review: July 1, 2012
In short: Hilly, challenging but fun. Lots of support along country lanes.In full: Feels much longer than a half due to the hills. Not many flat or easy stretches here. No traffic and plenty of support along the way make up for that. Ice lolly at the end takes away the pains. Date of review: June 24, 2012
In short: Well organised, undulating race in a nice locationIn full: On the whole I thought this was an excellent race.Course was constantly up and down, but the hills were never horrendous, and only one was vaguely long.Good things:Lots and lots of marshals, pretty course, plenty of supporters, nice runners village, plenty of water stations, ice lolly at the end.Bad things:Massive queue for toilets (although there was another set of toilets which was announced over the tannoy at one point and had a one minute queue...), parking wasn't well signposted and I think may have run out before the eventDate of review: June 12, 2012
In short: despite any small niggles over loos etc , this is a race & an event that i always enjoyDate of review: June 11, 2012
In short: Great HalfIn full: This was a great half marathon. The roads were closed on route and it is a nice undulating course which keeps the mind focussed. The car parking was good if you were prepared to walk. I parked at the car park by the Council Building.The T-shirt, ice lolly and especially the Lucozade Sport were all greatly appreciated as well as the texting of race times within minutes of finishing the race. There should had been more toilets for the number of runners/ walkers involved in the event. That's my only gripe. Date of review: June 11, 2012
In short: 4th time running so the organizers must be doing some thing rightIn full: it was my 4th time running the event, organization was good, agree with some comments about toilets not enough, on the course plenty of water stops but wish they could get a suppler using bottle instead of the plastic cups if only on a couple of stops, that is my only moan, glad to see that they widened the start which made it easier in stead of fighting our way through a small gap and the ban on mp3 plays was a good idea. at the finish there was plenty of fluid lucozade, water and the all important ice lolly, tee shirt (which fits) and the medal (wish they could change the design as it has been the same for 4 years) roll on next year Date of review: June 11, 2012
In short: Great race in a great locationIn full: This continues to be one of the best road half marathons I run. The course is a great undulating rural road course - it really is challenging with a couple of big long climbs but also a great downhill 1m at the end before a flat 0.5m. There are always loads of refreshment vans. The ice lolly is a must and I always look forward to it. They're quite generous at St Albans with a t-shirt, medal, lolly and bottle of lucazade sport! The guys on the PA always do a good job on the lead-up to the races and the kids event is great too. This year, there were a lot more runners and there was neither satisfactory parking or toilet facilities - needs to be looked at. My only other moan this morning would be that I and 20+ other runners seem to have been 'on course' when looking at the result but don't have a time or official place - I promise I didn't take any short cuts!Date of review: June 11, 2012
In short: Nice race with undulationsDate of review: June 10, 2012

Chile's Inclusion In Nafta
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Osvaldo Nunez Bourassa, QC
Mr. Speaker, following the Summit of the Americas in Miami in December, the Presidents of the United States and Mexico and the Prime Minister of Canada made a commitment to begin negotiations with Chile for
its inclusion in NAFTA. These negotiations get underway next week in Toronto.
We find it unfortunate that the American Congress appears to have made the elimination of the side agreements on occupational environment a prior condition to the adoption of fast track legislation.
The Government of Canada should make it very clear that Canada insists on the side agreements on occupational environment being an integral part of the negotiations with Chile. The people and the workers in the NAFTA member countries should enjoy reasonable working and environmental conditions.
The Bloc Quebecois supports Chile's inclusion in NAFTA and will monitor these negotiations with interest.
Liberal Red Book
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Herb Grubel Capilano—Howe Sound, BC
Mr. Speaker, have you noticed that the Liberals are no longer waving the little red book in defending their policies? There is a good reason. We did some research. At least four of the promises in the little red book have been broken already and we are only halfway through the mandate of this Parliament.
If props were allowed in this House, Reformers would be waving the red book as a symbol of broken promises, of a callous lack of integrity of a government that campaigned on being different.
Were the Liberals incompetent or just power hungry when they made promises Reformers always knew could not be kept, to replace the GST, raise immigration to 300,000, and many others soon to be paraded in front of this House?
Regional Development
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Nick Discepola Vaudreuil, QC
Mr. Speaker, in response to the needs of the small and medium sized businesses, the Federal Office of Regional Development-Quebec will shortly implement a new concept of strategic intervention with a focus on innovation, market development and entrepreneurship.
The FORD-Q will continue to promote the interests of all of the regions of Quebec with strong and efficient measures. The driving force behind small and medium sized businesses will become the pivotal point in the realization of the economic potential of each of Quebec's regions.
The FORD-Q will add a whole new dimension to its role by joining in community projects and providing strategic advice and assistance. In this context, its presence will be felt more than ever before in the very heart of the regions.
This is what we on this side of the House call an excellent example of the government's desire to promote economic growth. This is government at its finest.

Paddy Torsney Burlington, ON
Mr. Speaker, this morning the YWCA, the National Association of Women and the Law, the Canadian Federation of University Women and the Action Advocacy Department of B'nai Brith Canada reinforced their support for this government's efforts to increase safety for all Canadians.
Gun control is one measure to help address the issue of violence against women. In homes where violence occurs, if guns are present they become part of the abusive use of power, control and intimidation whether implicitly or explicitly. In almost half of domestic homicides, guns are the weapons of choice for men who kill their spouses.
Domestic homicides are not random acts of violence and the guns used are not smuggled or illegally owned. The registration system will permit police to issue and enforce a prohibition order to obtain these potentially dangerous weapons and to prevent these deadly situations.
These four groups know that Bill C-68 will not eliminate violence against women, but it will save some of their lives. I support their work and their position.
Ontario Progressive Conservative Leader

Pat O'Brien London—Middlesex, ON
Mr. Speaker, just a few months ago the leader of the Progressive Conservative Party in Ontario stood on the steps of the legislature and encouraged a Toronto area woman to quit her well paying job and go on welfare. Talk about the ultimate flip-flop artist who is now proposing workfare for welfare recipients. Is he forgetting that the ones who will suffer the most will be little children?
Perhaps he should look more toward the Liberal plan which outlines welfare reform initiatives designed to encourage and help people obtain permanent employment.
Furthermore, the Conservative leader's plan is based on a fairy tale 30 per cent tax cut which will take $750 million out of
the education budget. As one who realizes the importance of educating all our youth for tomorrow and not just the elite few, I have grave concerns and so should the electorate.
Ontario voters should reflect carefully on this election and not be fooled by the Tory nonsense plan.

André Caron Jonquière, QC
Mr. Speaker, because the Red Cross hesitated and, in fact, neglected to test blood products for contamination by hepatitis C, several hundred Canadians were infected. This shocking conclusion was mentioned several times in the course of the proceedings of the Krever Commission.
The Red Cross waited until 1990 before using a test to detect hepatitis C, claiming that existing tests were not effective. In 1986, the United States was already using an indirect test to detect contaminated products. Hesitation on the part of the Red Cross between 1986 and 1990 potentially infected 10,000 Canadians.
These damning revelations are the latest in a series of horror stories which have surfaced at the hearings so far. In view of this information, the Krever Commission has a responsibility and a duty to identify those whose irresponsible attitudes led to the death of hundreds of human beings.

Jim Hart Okanagan—Similkameen—Merritt, BC
Mr. Speaker, I rise today on behalf of the constituents of Okanagan-Similkameen-Merritt to inform the House that the illegal roadblock by the Indians at the Douglas Lake ranch is escalating. The Indians threatened violence when the RCMP tried to enforce the court injunction to dismantle the blockade.
My constituents and I have been here before. Last year, the minister of Indian affairs refused to get involved when a similar situation arose at Apex Alpine. The minister is again shrugging off his constitutional responsibility for Indians and lands reserved to Indians.
The minister has tried to excuse himself by declaring that he has received no request from the Indians to intervene. Yet, my constituents are desperately calling for intervention from this government.
I demand that the minister get involved. The roadblock has been declared illegal by the courts. The RCMP have been unable to dismantle the roadblock.
The Liberals must act. If this illegal blockade is not taken down, then the minister should exercise his authority and suspend federal funds to the Upper Nicola Indian Band.

Mr. Speaker, heroes are very much in demand nowadays. We all want a role model to emulate and when we meet one we feel very privileged.
Yesterday, the Governor General of Canada presented decorations for meritorious service to a number of Canadians who performed above and beyond the call of duty. Three of these people are from British Columbia.
Sergeant Thomas Joachim Hoppe from Vancouver was awarded the meritorious service cross in the military division for displaying outstanding leadership and ensuring the safety of his patrol and his mission while commanding a key observation post located between Serb and Muslim forces in Bosnia-Hercegovina.
Sergeant Hoppe was also awarded the medal of bravery for rescuing three Muslim children who were under direct fire near Visoko in Bosnia-Hercegovina.
Sergeant Hoppe is the first soldier since World War II to receive two of Canada's top military awards for exceptional bravery.
On behalf of all Canadians, I wish to congratulate Sergeant Hoppe and all recipients for their acts of bravery and for making all of us very proud of our peacekeepers.

With this latest appointment, Marcel Masse joins a select group of people who directly benefit from the separatist obsessions of the PQ.
If it fails to convince Quebecers to vote for separation, the PQ will at least have helped to create jobs for the new supporters of "profitable separatism".

Mr. Speaker, in a report presented to the Security Council yesterday, the UN Secretary General proposed four options for the role of UN peacekeepers in Bosnia. In another development, the United States is prepared to send ground support troops to Bosnia to reinforce the mandate of the peacekeepers. Meanwhile, there is still no indication of Canada's real intentions with respect to redefining the mandate of the peacekeepers.
Could the Prime Minister tell us quite frankly which of the four options suggested by the UN Secretary General before the Security Council is the one preferred by Canada?

Posted on 03/21/2013 3:47:33 PM PDT by mdittmar
CHICAGO (AP) - Chicago Public Schools officials said Thursday they plan to close 54 schools in an effort to address a $1 billion budget shortfall and improve a struggling educational system - a plan that drew the ire of parents and teachers.
District CEO Barbara Byrd-Bennett and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel say the closures are necessary because too many CPS buildings are half-empty. The nation's third-largest district, CPS has about 403,000 students but has seats for more than 500,000, officials say. But opponents say the closures will disproportionately affect minority children and endanger students who may have to cross gang boundaries to attend school.
The plan will affect about 30,000 students, CPS officials said. They say money being spent to keep underutilized schools open could be better used to educate students elsewhere.
"Every child in every neighborhood in Chicago deserves access to a high quality education that prepares them to succeed in life, but for too long children in certain parts of Chicago have been cheated out of the resources they need to succeed because they are in underutilized, under-resourced schools," Byrd-Bennett said. "As a former teacher and a principal, I've lived through school closings and I know that this will not be easy, but I also know that in the end this will benefit our children."
Critics say the closings are unnecessary and will devastate communities, particularly poor, minority neighborhoods.
(Excerpt) Read more at abc6.com ...
It's not as if a lot of those students were getting any use out of them anyway. You can lead a horse to water...
Home schooling is the answer.
Of course they would never consider cutting the administration.
You could eliminate 90% of the costs of school district administration and not miss a beat.
What about midnight basketball?
"But opponents say the closures will disproportionately affect minority children and endanger students who may have to cross gang boundaries to attend school."
Then tell Rham to do something about the gangs. What a concept....
Where will gang members go to during the day now?
Is that $18 million per school!?? With only 555 students per school?!! Did I figure that correctly?
Step in the right direction
When you promise unicorns and candy to voters today that does not have to be paid by them this is what you get.
Their funding gap is due to promises made decades ago to voters who care not for any one except themselves.
If students today have to suffer who cares?
Just make sure administrators get 100% of their retirement benefits.
"Home schooling is the answer."
Do you really think that Gundarena can home school her 6 kids by 6 different guys? No way!
Maybe if the U.S. Department of Education was eliminated those kids wouldn't have to deal with all those gangs.
The kids could encounter a Tea Party partisan with an assault rifle and be scandalized....
What a heartless racist!
(You know that's what they'd be screaming if Ms. Byrd-Bennett were a white Republican...or white Hispanic.)
To many gangs out there,wear the wrong color jersey and you get shot.
Eventually you run out of others people's money.
No money for schools but plenty for retirements and to pay people not to work.
Rahm wasn't even in Chicago when news of the school closings was released. He's skiing in Utah.
Home school if they can, move if they can't. I smell blood and danger.
Blacks didn't give a rats a** about whites put on buses and bused to the other end of town, why should we give a rats a** about them being bused to another part of gang territory. Wait till amnesty and hispanics move into the city and kick their butts. Popcorn season is about to begin.
I thought Chicago was supposed to be safe due to their strict gun laws. What happened?
Dunno. I was told strict gun laws cured this stuff.
you know... I;m starting to think they really don't. But that's just crazy. Liberals would never say things that weren't true. MSNBC said so.
But schools a re a gun free zone
When one has to figure out gang boundaries to figure out how to manage the schools......it's over. Shut it down and start from scratch.
Money for The Moslem Brotherhood and al Qaeda
and terrorists worldwide, but not one dime for
American children.
This is so wonderful. You can't teach Shakespeare to these gang bangers. The key to responding to gun deaths is to declare gangs "terrorists" and then Drone their asses.zap!! I love it. we will do that when we get in power.
so long as those teachers don;t move south looking for a job
And how many republicans ever mention that one very pertinent FACT?
Gee. Can't understand why no one cares. Perhaps if they actually heard and thought about it?
Nah....that's never work.
Is it safe to say closing the schools but keeping the UNION teachers for the children
Wait till amnesty and hispanics move into the city and kick their butts. Popcorn season is about to begin.
It's sad, but when you continuously vote stupidly, act stupidly, don't give a hoot about your dignity, your education, your morals, your own people and the continual pitiful condition you and they are in year and year, decade after decade ..if you TRULY are not intelligent enough to give a hoot or figure out what to do DIFFERENTLY to solve the problem then, I dunno ...maybe it's just survival of the fittest kind of thing. I hate to say that, but it just seems to be true with this particular group.
I wish it wasn't so. So many have been trying to tell them HOW and WHAT to do differently for a long time ..but they stubbornly refuse to take that advice. What may happen in the coming years to them is REALLY going to be sad and awful to watch. I mean ..it's already been awful to see and to watch for YEARS ...yet it continues.
What's sad are the crack babies ..the poor sick kids ...the kids born into it, innocent, yet in time, they too fall to the same fate. I think it weighs on everyone in our country ...we laugh, we joke about it . .. but in the end, it's just horrific to see, to witness ...and equally as horrific to be TAXED into supporting it.
Good grief...they have to worry about crossing GANG BOUNDARIES!!! What are the union cops doing as the city is split into gang-controlled areas?
403,000/500,000*100 = 80.6%. That's quite a leap to round to one half. A whole is closer.
District CEO Barbara Byrd-Bennett and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel say... too many CPS buildings are half-empty... 403,000 students but has seats for more than 500,000... opponents say the closures will disproportionately affect minority children and endanger students who may have to cross gang boundaries to attend school. The plan will affect about 30,000 students...Must be that 97,000 gap is due to the total lack of gun control in Chicago. /s
No. First of all, where is that written? Second, not every child is educable or can function inside a school. But most importantly education costs money. Money has to come from people that work. Work is an expenditure of a persons time and energy. Its literally a person's life. Nobody has any rightful claim on anyone else's life or what they produce. Forcing someone to work for the benefit of others with compensation is slavery. Its the worst form of tyranny.
Saying it's "for the children" is a lame excuse and it doesn't even apply in this case since the last thing that goes on inside a Chicago Public School is anything that resembles the molding of future productive, contributing members of society.
Chicago the new Detroit
Sadly, I'm afraid that solution presumes the existence of parents who care and have enough resources, be it time, energy, money, ability, or dedication, to actually do something.
That's not the case for most of these kids.
Why keep these chicago schools open, they quite obviously are not teaching the yut, little more than a very high priced babysitting service
The only thing most of these parents can teach their kids is how to get food stamps.
So who won the teacher's strike?
Totally. I had a friend with a no work admin job at CPS on 39th Street. She hated it so much she quit.
The looters always use the same language to take the resources of those that earned it.
It goes like this....
"Every (fill in the blank) deserves (fill in the blank)."
The fact is no one deserves the fruit of the labor of others. It really is that simple.
Closing schools is good. It results in less child abuse by so-called "educators".
Next you're going to say that the kids' dads should take more repsonsibility for their kids' education.
So the people of Chicago and Illinois are paying to respect Gang bounties?
Maybe if they went so focused on giving them gangs a huge arms advantage over the rest of the population they might have time get rid of a few of them as effective terrorizing forces.
Use of the word "school" in the context of the CPS is fraud upon the students and the students single parent.
My kid attended the Marine Military Academy in grades 10-12. Walking down the hall you could hear a pin drop. Peek in a class and all kids were sitting straight up and listening to a teacher that was not an NEA card carrier and in about one third of the cases he/she had a PHD and enjoyed working at his/her job.
Now, THAT'S A SCHOOL!

BrightStar Care's Shelly Sun: From Frustrated Consumer to CEO
(BrightStar Care's Shelly Sun is the fourth successful entrepreneur to be profiled in our series highlighting women in small business.)
GURNEE, Ill. ( TheStreet) -- Shelly Sun and her husband, J.D., started BrightStar Care , a health-care staffing company, a decade ago after failing to find suitable care for his grandmother.
As CEO, Shelly Sun has taken the company to far-reaching success, helped by the fact that the franchise is smack in the middle of one of the hottest growing sectors of business: elderly care. BrightStar Care now has 180 franchisees with 260 locations, employs more than 50,000 health-care workers and services more than 31,000 customers every day.
Besides running BrightStar, Sun is on the board of directors for the International Franchise Association, the industry's main trade association, has written a book, Grow Smart, Risk Less , and was even featured on CBS's popular show Undercover Boss last year.
>>>Janska's Erickson Breaks Mold for Older Entrepreneurs
>>>How One Woman Broke Into The Auto Supply Industry
>>>Style Me Pretty's Larson: Women Business Leaders
Sun has been recognized by the Women Presidents Organization and American Express OPEN as No. 1 in their Top 50 Fastest-Growing Women-Led Organizations in 2011.
A recent conversation with Sun follows.
How did BrightStar Care get started?
Sun: In late 2001, my husband and I were looking for home care for his grandma, and we needed the whole range of services from companion care, some help with bathing and then she needed nursing care. It was difficult for us to find one company that could do everything. We had to coordinate through multiple providers. None of them really seemed like grandma was the most important thing to them.
Unfortunately, she passed away the day before my husband and I got married. It was very impactful for us. And so we spent a few months kind of thinking about what we wanted to do with our lives. I was a CPA working in corporate America. My husband was a trader. We decided to take the funds we had built up and go into business for ourselves, helping grandmas and grandpas, moms and dads much like we were trying to do for
Neither of us were coming from a health-care background,

Passer-By May Have Saved Man Who Jumped Into Rogue River
A passer-by may have saved the life of a man who jumped off a bridge into the Rogue River yesterday. Bob Smithson was bicycling at 8:10 a.m. near Debs Potts Memorial Bridge in Grants Pass when he saw a man jump. Smithson called 9-1-1 and rescue personnel found 63-year old Jack Powell partially submerged about 600 feet downstream. His injuries were not believed to be life threatening.
A day earlier, Powell was the subject of an attempt-to-locate by police to check on his welfare. They were unable to locate him at the time.

Return to Form: A Modern Paris Apartment
As the head of his family's design firm, Barnaba Fornasetti has an in- nate sense for reinterpreting the whimsical furniture and decorative objects created by his late father, Piero, whose inimitable style has captivated the design world for decades. At his home in Milan, Barnaba has been just as faithful in honoring tradition, turning the ancestral resi- dence into a living tribute to the Fornasetti style.
In the living room of Barnaba Fornasetti's Milan villa, the collection of mirrors includes vintage pieces by his father, Piero; a lacquered cocktail table with a trompe l'oeil design holds a group of limited-edition vases from Bitossi Ceramiche.
Located in the Città Studi district, the red, Venetian-style villa is tucked away in the shade of an old garden. Inside, the rooms brim with furniture and curios— screen-printed trays, ceramic vases, a bar cart adorned with trompe l'oeil bows—that skirt the line between decoration and art.
A bedroom features Fornasetti's Nuvole wallpaper by Cole & Son, a chair with a Corinthian-column back, and a 1950s chest of drawers; the Antonangeli Illuminazione table lamp is from the '90s, and the Italian gilt-wood mirror is 18th century.

Cradle of Filth -- Houston, TX -- February 1st, 2010
2/1 Houston, TX Warehouse Live
Turisas, Daniel Lioneye, Nachtmystium, Cradle of Filth
I was super excited when I heard about this tour as I'm a huge fan of Daniel Lioneye. So bought the tix back in December and waited and waited and...well you get the point. So Jan 31st rolls around and somehow managed to drive out of an oncomming blizzard. Drove from Carl Juction, MO to Houston, TX pretty much without stopping. Feb 1st day of show first got hyped up by going to a massivly huge music store with guitars and basses wall to wall. They had an amazing collection of Dimebag guitars, they had a really nice signed white flying V from Alice in Chains hanging up but not for sale They had an absolutly beautiful Tama drum set for less than $600 it was an AMAZING deal and I really liked this white acoustic I saw. I fell in love with this store and it definatly made me wish I was strapped with more cash.
So, on with the show. First up was Turisas and all I can say is A-MAZ-ING! When they first walked onstage I was taken aback by their "braveheart" warrior paint but then they started playing and Not what I expected AT all! They only got to play 3 songs because of the late start due to tech dificulties that they seemed to also still experiance durring their short set but they didnt let that dampen their performance. They ALL had alot of energy. The singer kept the crowd pumped and jumped in the crowd and surfed for quite a while. They had a chick on accordion who was H-O-T HOT! and the dude playing violin----YES I SAID A DUDE PLAYING VIOLIN----made me wonder if satan escaped to Finland after the Georgia incident to learn how to play then arose in a band called Turisas...lol. They called it "folk metal" and is was beautiful! They all adorned red and black face paint which was AWSOME and they all danced around the stage crashing into each other, falling and really just havin a good time for their whole set. They apologized for the tech dificulties and said they will come back to Houston and make it up to them later this year. They also said this was their first time performing in the US. I would definatly recommend seeing this band at least once if not more. I hope they make a fan base here in the US so more shows arise. I dont know what the first song they played was but the other 2 were "Rasputin" and "Battle Metal"
Next up was Daniel Lioneye. For those of you that havent heard of Daniel Lioneye it is Mikko "Linde" Lindstrom's (guitarist from H.I.M.) side project. Daniel Lioneye was first developed in 2001 creating their first record "King of Rock and Roll" with Ville Valo (HIM) on drums, Mige (HIM) on bass and Linde (HIM) on guitar and vocals and it had a hard rock bluesy feel. The most recent version of Daniel Lioneye has turned a more metal leaf with their 2010 Volume II release. Vol II's recording artists include Linde (HIM), Mige (HIM), Burton (HIM) and Bolton (Enochian Crescent). However on the current US tour Manu mans the vocals while Linde plays guitar and does backing vocals also Boltan was replaced by Seppo on drums. Seppo is new to the group but obviously not new to drums, he totally kept up with the tempo which is impressive as the drumming on Vol II is quite fast not "Divine Heresy Tim Yeung" fast but still fast. I think Burton was having an issue with his keyboard but he pulled through. Manu to plainly put it is just somethin else, he really gives 110% into performance. I just love frontmen that put on a show and he did. He bantered with the crowd quite a bit then just rang in the next song with his epic scream. Mige beat on his bass like nobody's business and Linde is a guitar GOD just plain and simple. Lindes fingers looked liked spider legs hopin all over the fret board. Just amazing! I cant even fathome having that much talent. I could practice my whole life and still not be that good. I cant remember the order as most of the time I spent staring at Linde's fret board but I do know the songs they played were "The Mentat", "I Saw Myself", "Flatlined", "Neolithic Way", and "Kiss of the Cannibal"
Next, Nachtmystium took the stage. I hadnt heard of this band before but it seemed as tho others in the crowd did. Looks like they have a pretty healthy following comin along. Very heavy feel but performance didnt seem quit as heavy or atleast in the beginning. Maybe they were nervous I dunno. This one didnt completly grab my attention but it didnt turn me off. Coulda been an off show and to give them a fair argument I did duck out towards the end to hangout backstage with Daniel Lioneye. I will however be lookin up more info about them online to give them a fair chance.
Finally, Cradle of Filth. I missed out on most of their set because of hangin backstage. When I came back they only had a couple of songs left. Filth was amazing as always. Not a particular favorite of mine but I like to indulge every once in a while. Eh, to each their own...the back screen was cool, similar to Zombies on the Gruesome Twosome tour. Sad I missed out on most of the set but was for a great reason so it was a bittersweet.
Meet & Greet: The meet and greet was a dream come true Tom guided us passholders to the back and gave us our Tshirts and cd's brought the band out and just said hangout so that's what we did...we hungout. Seppo is learning how to speak english but he understood "Damn! You are fast!" lol. So me and Seppo talked for a bit with Mige kinda standin by to help translate. I asked Seppo if he wanted to take a picture with me "since Im kinda a big deal" lol and he said yeah. and I asked him if he was ready for the picture of his lifetime and he said "Im ready" and we snapped one all while Mige is laughin at our silliness. Then I hungout with Linde for a bit. God, was I nervous. I asked him if his fingers hurt, then thought, wow that sounded bad. yikes. He laughed. Congradulated him on his engagement with Toni Marie Iommi daughter of Black Sabath guitarist Tony Iommi. Also asked if he has gotten a chance to jam with his future father-in-law and he said they actually made a track called "Out of my Mind" which should be released in the next couple of months. We talked about the cold temps in Finland and the new creative outlets that he has in Daniel Lioneye. He said it was quite a task just getting through the forms and legalities to play here in the US and he hopes this tour goes over well and if it does we may see alot more of them. I told him Mayhem may be a good fit for them and to check that out, he sounded really interested in that so fingers crossed. Then me and Burton talked about how great it felt to get the first show out of the way. He said there are always some kinks to work out in the first couple of shows but now that its out of the way should be smooth sailing from here on out. Manu was very energetic, we talked about his vocal techniques and how he trains his voice as I sing as well he gave me some tips to help out my scream we also talked about what kind of music and bands we like. I told him Im also a diehard Five Finger Death Punch fan and he started singing "The Bleeding" He told me he's met Zoltan and that he's a pretty cool dude. No surprise there. Then I hung out with Linde some more and talked music, told him he was a huge inspiration to me musically and when they hit it big in the US I'll open for him..lol Then they all signed cds and took group pics with everyone. I gave them all hugs bye and they all thanked me for comming as they did pretty much throughout the meet and greet. They all left except Tom (the guy runin the meet and greet) and Mige. I stood there and talked with Tom and Mige for another 20 mins. I said it was nice to see him beat on the bass like that as its a total diferent style than H.I.M. and he said it felt good to. I also told him it was nice to be able to see them all perform and to be able to throw up my devil horns without feeling out of place....lol.
Well, I dont mean to bore any of you with an all too detailed play by play of my night but it was just so incredibly EPIC and I dont want to forget any of it. Thank you all for listening. If any of you were at the show and want to add anymore details feel free....
Great review! But do you know any of the sets?
And format of title is wrong...
This is definitely not Turisas's first time in the US. This was their third time in Houston.
And Nachtmystium's set was PERFECT. The vocals could have have been a little higher in the mix, but that was the only problem I could even nit-pick at.
Their set was something like:
Hellish Overdose
Ghosts of Grace
High on Hate
Maybe one other. I was really hoping for No Funeral and Ruined Life Continuum.
Me and my friends went fucking crazy up front for Turisas and Nachtmystium.
Hell yeah, thought i would be the only one stoked on Daniel Lioneye
wish they would play anything from "KORAR" but its whateves
im sure its bound to happen sometime this tour
Do you know how much where the shirts for Turisas?
Daniel Lioneye
The Mentat
I Saw Myself
Kiss of the Cannibal
Who Turned The Lights Out
Neolithic Way
March TVG
Stand Up Fight
Battle Metal
Cradle of Filth
Heaven Torn
Honey And Sulphur
Ghost In The Fog
Principle of Evil
Huntress Moon
Ebony + Forest
Venus Aversa
Cradle To Enslave
Hope this helps....

Mary E. Malerba
TUPPER LAKE – Mary E. Malerba, 90, of Tupper Lake, passed away Friday, Feb. 1, 2013, at the Adirondack Medical Center in Saranac Lake.
Born Aug. 27, 1922, in Tupper Lake, she was the daughter of Samuel and Mary Amoriell. Mary attended local schools and worked at the mill for 10 years. On May 28, 1949, she married Louis Malerba at Holy Name Church. He predeceased her on Aug. 27, 2008. After her marriage, Mrs. Malerba stayed home and raised their two sons, Bobby and Louie.

One Olympic Plaza, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80909
December 3, 2012
MINUTES: USA Team Handball Board Meeting held on December 3, 2012 at 10:00 a.m. Mountain Time
Jeff Utz, President & Chair (JU)
David Thompson, Vice President (DT)
Tomuke Ebuwei (TE)
Heins Kart Pederson (HKP)
Tom Zelenovic (TZ)
David Palmer (DP)
David Gascon (DG)
Mariusz Wartalowicz (MW)
Matt Van Houten (MVH)
Jeff Utz called the meeting to order at 10:03 a.m., welcomed the participants and took roll call.
There was a discussion regarding the minutes from board meetings that have taken place since the May, 2012 meeting. The minutes from those meetings are not posted on the website but there have been meetings since May. MVH will check with Francesca regarding the status of those minutes.
MVH will follow up regarding the corporate status of USATH in Utah to make sure that the appropriate roster of individuals is registered with the Secretary of State.
There were no committee reports given.
General Manager Report:
MVH provided an update on the status of the AAC representatives for the upcoming quad. There was a notice sent to all eligible (having competed in Pan Am Games within past 10 years) athletes regarding the USOC AAC. Tomuke Ebuwei will serve as the AAC rep and David Thompson will be the alternate for the upcoming 4 year term. The bylaws provide for an internal NGB AAC but this has never been implemented. The USATH AAC will be composed of 5 individuals – DT and TE, plus Mark Ortega (2011 Pan Am Team), as well as two athletes who have competed in Nationals.
MVH noted that he has met twice with a Colorado Springs attorney, Steve Smith, a partner at the firm of Bryan Cave, regarding the bylaws and our governance system. Attorney Smith represents many NGBs and has reviewed bylaws for other federations with the focus on compliance with best practices and meeting the requirements of the Ted Stevens Act. Smith will be presenting a set of recommendations for improving the bylaws, to be provided to MVH by the end of December.
There was a discussion regarding the composition of the board and the need to identify the term expirations for each. The composition was determined to be as follows:
Jeff Utz, President Independent 12/31/2013
David Thompson, VP Athlete 12/31/2016
Tomuke Ebuwei Athlete 12/31/2016
David Palmer Independent 12/31/2016
Tom Zelenovic Independent 12/31/2016
Heins Kart Pederson Independent 12/31/2012
Dan Kotler Independent 12/31/2012
Marilyn Gauthier At Large 12/31/2012
Ralf Uhding At Large 12/31/2012
The bylaws call for the Nominating and Governance Committee to select the Independent board members and the membership to elect the At Large members. Attorney Steve Smith will address how to bring the NGB into compliance with regard to the Nominating and Governance Committee and filling the board seats that will be vacant at the end of 2012.
The next board meeting was set for January 7, 2013.
Jeff Utz provided a quick update regarding David Palmer's professional circumstances. DP has left his position at Procter and Gamble as of October 31, 2012 and will be taking some time off before re-entering the work force in the sports marketing arena. This opens up the option to pursue sponsorship or donation opportunities with P&G.
Marketing/Fundraising Discussion:
JU stated that we need to have a document similar to the High Performance Plan relating to our plans to develop handball at the grassroots level.
MVH noted that the NGB has made significant progress toward becoming compliant with the requirements set out in the USOC audit report from June, 2011, but we have much more to do to be in good standing with the USOC going forward. This is a priority in that our financial situation must be in order before we can expect to receive donations or sponsorships of any significance. He has met with Debra Yoshimura, the director of the USOC audit division to update her on our progress as well as discuss how we can implement a bookkeeping and financial system that meets with GAAP.
Dave Gascon provided a detailed explanation regarding our current financial status. The 2011 990 form should be ready to file any day now. The board has reviewed it and it is ready to be signed and filed. It will be sent to MVH as well so that it can be posted on our website. Starner Bates, from Salt Lake City, has offered to perform the 2011 and 2012 independent audits for $8,000.00 and MVH has indicated that he will investigate with Colorado Springs firms whether we can find a more competitive deal.
Chair update:
JU stated that there were a couple of details he would like to address with the board: whether the title General Manager was appropriate for our organization; and the official location of the NGB headquarters. He noted that most other NGBs use the term CEO and that the term General Manager was probably out-dated or not relevant to an organization such as USATH. MVH added that the term Secretary General was important in terms of the international arena and proposed that the board consider the term CEO/Secretary General. DP confirmed that Secretary General was an important title within the international sports arena. JU moved that the bylaws be amended to substitute the term CEO/Secretary General for the term General Manager. Tom Zelenovic seconded the motion. There was no further discussion and the vote was unanimous in favor of the motion.
JU also noted that we need to update the information filed with the Utah Department of State with regard to the board and trustees of USATH.
Technical Director Update:
MW gave a report regarding the recent competition in Mexico City (IHF Trophy Cup for both men's and women's junior teams). He noted that there are several upcoming competitions: Senior WNT NOR.CA which is the qualifier for the Pan American Championships in June. The Senior MNT is scheduled to compete in the NOR.CA competition in Greenland in October. There was discussion about the tentative proposal that the US would host the women's junior Pan Am qualifier in September – whether we had the resources and could do an adequate job hosting the event. We need to inform PATH in early 2013 one way or the other. The junior MNT qualified to participate in the Jr Pan Am Championships in Argentina but the competition is not in the budget and the only way to make it happen is if the athletes self-fund their expenses.
College nationals is in the final planning stages and it appears that Chapel Hill will host both men's and women's competitions. It's looking like there will be a higher number of teams, possibly 16 men's and 8 women's teams.
Open nationals will be held in Reno from May 17-19 and an announcement will be made very soon.
We are looking at 2014 now with the goal being to announce much earlier than in past years.
The leagues seem to be improving: NEL has 18 teams now; SWTHL looks to have 8 men's and 4 women's teams and there will likely be a West league
Membership numbers currently 250-300. Last year we had 538 approximately. Growth goals are extremely important. How do we build out membership?
There was a short discussion about the membership goals, especially as it relates to the bonus structure of CEO contract. Due to time constraints, the topic will be addressed in a separate meeting.
Jeff will speak individually with board members regarding fundraising goals.
MVH closed by stating that final preparations are in progress for the visit by IHF President Dr. Moustafa.
The meeting was adjourned shortly after 12:00 p.m.

Editorial: Free clinic a good solution to a health care problem
Sometimes the best solution to a problem is in your back yard.
So it is with the Alpena Free Clinic, which has been addressing the health needs of the community now for five years.
With all the debate over the Affordable Health Care Act, Obamacare, or whatever you want to call it – to view a health care program at work that addresses the needs of everyone, the Alpena Free Clinic is it.
Started by Rev. Steve Hammond in 2008, the clinic has provided medical care to over 2,200 patients since its doors first opened. Open two days each week, the clinic handles a wide assortment of cases. Today 10 doctors, four physician's assistants and 16 nurses volunteer their services at the clinic. A number of other volunteers handle other functions there as well.
Hammond, who also is a physician assistant, might be viewed as a holistic renaissance man. By day he addresses the spiritual needs of his congregation, while at night he meets the physical needs of the community.
As the rest of the country struggles with making health care accessible to all, in Alpena the seeds of the eventual solution were sown years ago.

Apple, Samsung Release Statements Following Court Decision; Microsoft Gloats
Brandon Hill
August 24, 2012 8:54 PM

Sender E-mail
Want to guess which company is breaking out the champagne tonight?
jury reached a verdict today
and they found Samsung guilty on multiple counts of infringing upon Apple design and software patents. While Apple was able to hold Samsung's feet to the fire on the majority of its utility patents, Samsung received no love from the jurors on its countersuit claims.
The jury ordered Samsung to pay Apple $1,051,855,000 USD ($1.05B USD) in damages. Apple owes Samsung absolutely nothing.
Apple CEO Tim Cook [Image Source: Paul Sakuma, Associated Press]
Not surprisingly, both Apple and Samsung have issued statements to the
New York Times
regarding the decision. First up, Apple:
We are grateful to the jury for their service and for investing the time to listen to our story and we were thrilled to be able to finally tell it. The mountain of evidence presented during the trail showed that Samsung's copying went far deeper than even we knew. The lawsuits between Apple and Samsung were about much more than patents or money. They were about values. At Apple, we value originality and innovation and pour our lives into making the best products on earth. We make these products to delight our customers, not for our competitors to flagrantly copy. We applaud the court for finding Samsung's behavior willful and for sending a loud and clear message that stealing isn't right.
And now we have Samsung, which is clearly not pleased with the outcome of this case:
Today's verdict should not be viewed as a win for Apple, but as a loss for the American consumer. It will lead to fewer choices, less innovation, and potentially higher prices. It is unfortunate that patent law can be manipulated to give one company a monopoly over rectangles with rounded corners, or technology that is being improved every day by Samsung and other companies. Consumers have the right to choices, and they know what they are buying when they purchase Samsung products. This is not the final word in this case or in battles being waged in courts and tribunals around the world, some of which have already rejected many of Apple's claims. Samsung will continue to innovate and offer choices for the consumer.
And even though Microsoft had absolutely nothing to do with this trial (Microsoft can
safely sit on the sidelines
as a spectator), Bill Cox, senior director of Marketing Communications for Windows Phone,
added his two cents
in on the decision:
Considering Microsoft's current position in the
smartphone marketplace
, we're not quite sure it's "winning" in this case.
Updated 8/25/2012 @ 2:53am EST
has received an internal memo
sent to Apple employees by Apple CEO Tim Cook. In the memo, which features similar wording to the statement issued by Apple after the ruling, Cook describes how taking Samsung to court wasn't about the "patents or money":
Today was an important day for Apple and for innovators everywhere.
Many of you have been closely following the trial against Samsung in San Jose for the past few weeks. We chose legal action very reluctantly and only after repeatedly asking Samsung to stop copying our work. For us this lawsuit has always been about something much more important than patents or money. It's about values. We value originality and innovation and pour our lives into making the best products on earth. And we do this to delight our customers, not for competitors to flagrantly copy.
We owe a debt of gratitude to the jury who invested their time in listening to our story. We were thrilled to finally have the opportunity to tell it. The mountain of evidence presented during the trial showed that Samsung's copying went far deeper than we knew.
The jury has now spoken. We applaud them for finding Samsung's behavior willful and for sending a loud and clear message that stealing isn't right.
I am very proud of the work that each of you do.
Today, values have won and I hope the whole world listens.

Skip to comments.Mushroom Ice Cream, Anyone? Chefs Turning To Veggies For Dessert
Posted on 12/08/2012 2:44:45 PM PST by nickcarraway
Chefs at some of the most cutting edge restaurants in the country are incorporating vegetables into their desserts in ways that, at first glance, might not seem very dessert-y.
In fact, a recent article in the trade magazine Food Technology lists things like celery sorbet with celery salad, goat cheese mousse balls, macerated figs and balsamic vinegar at Del Posto in New York; sweet corn crème brulée with popcorn shoots and candied bacon at Tilth in Seattle; and a candy cap mushroom ice cream sandwich at Americano Restaurant & Bar in San Francisco.
That made us here at The Salt wonder, is there any nutritional value in adding veggies to dessert?
Actually, the answer is yes.
Mary Ann Johnson, a nutrition professor at the University of Georgia and a spokesperson for the American Society for Nutrition, says the body is more able to process a group of vitamins found in vegetables called carotenoids when they're paired with a fat. "The fat helps the body absorb them," Johnson says.
It's the same reason why adding a little bit of butter or sour cream is to your potato is OK, or a little full-fat salad dressing is good for greens at least according to a recent small study.
Johnson also says these new kinds of desserts could help children develop a taste for vegetables, which will serve them well as they grow up unless of course the dessert is totally overpowered by the sugar and fat. As with everything, moderation is key.
But chefs are probably not making veggie desserts to boost our nutrition.
Karen Nachay, associate editor of Food Technology, says when restaurants base their menus on seasonal, farm-based goods, they often wind up with an abundance of one ingredient or another and have to find something to do with it.
"They have a lot of the produce, they have fun experimenting," Nachay says. "In turn you have a lot of these creative dishes being offered."
So, all you parents out there, consider swapping your cartons of chocolate and vanilla and replace them with mushroom ice cream and celery sorbet. We're sure your kids will thank you some day.
No thanks! Mushrooms give me gas.
Fungus ice-cream? If I need to puke!
I'm with you! I don't "do" fungi!
I love mushrooms, but in ice cream? Please, that's sickening.
Pass the chocolate syrup.
I had celery sorbet once, and it was actually very good.
Suprisingly good. You can't eat just one!
Probably go well with some of the "brownies" I consumed in the 70's.
i would give it a try... i remember thinking, "how can zucchini bread be any good?" i tasted it and loved it... it's sweet... as is green tomato bread and carrot cake... i love sea salt on my chocolate and caramel... and hot chili in my chocolate... que bueno!
On an episode of Chopped, one of the contestants made a beet ice cream. The judges were surprised at how good it was. They all loved it.
Vegetables, you say? How many calories does that have?
I'll stick with Butter Pecan.
Perhaps kill you in your sleep, or a really really bad nursing home in your elder years.....certainly no thanks coming your way for mushroom ice cream.
Whoa, that picture almost made me yell New Yawk.
I love mushrooms. The thought of mushroom ice cream, would not be able to even get that cr@p in my mouth. Ewwwwwwww.
My grandmother always said chocolate was a vegetable and one of the basic five food groups - but her favorite vegetable was olives as long as they were in her martini.
Stupid and gross. Trying to make foods imitate other foods like broccamole.
Try it:
Broccoli forgets only
Chick Peas
Fat free low sodium sour cream or yogurt.
I don't know the exact recipe but, it exactly tastes like crap not guacamole.
Very unpleasant tasting....
I made garlic ice cream awhile back. Interesting, but nothing I'd do again. In retrospect, it seems a sorry thing to mess with something so perfect already.
There are very few things that taste better than fresh morels fried in a bit of butter! If they can make morel ice cream taste that good, I'm all for it. BTW, last Spring was lousy for collecting them. I was pretty much skunked here in Northern Ohio.
Epic Fail
I've had jalapeno ice cream, it's pretty awesome. Do it right and anything can be a fine frozen treat. Especially with all the varieties of mushrooms, that could be a whole line on its own.
I guess I'm the only one here who thinks that could be good. Of course, a few years ago, it was shocking for most to think of putting salt on ice cream but now salted caramel is one of the more popular flavors. I've had a huitlacoche dessert empanada before so I know fungus can make a great dessert.
Was it your last date dessert on purpose, or did it just turn out that way and you noticed a trend?
...a mushroom is not a vegetable...
Watch Iron Chef! They make ice cream out of SEAFOOD. Last night they had an Italian chef who owns 10 restaurants, challenging one of the regular Iron Chef's who made an ice cream from Bay Scallops!
I love salted caramel ice cream. I also like to take a thick slice of good grade bacon, cut it into equal 3rd's, fry the bacon crisp, pat dry then dip all but one little corner into tempered chocolate and let the chocolate setup. Talk about good!!!
There was a restaurant in Little Rock that did very traditional French food and did a caramelized pork belly that could have been a dessert.
This reminds me of a comic panel from the Feb 1983 Playboy. In the scene you see the inside of an ice cream parlor and a sign syating the flavors they sell are Corn, Wood, Liver and Vanilla. The clerk behind the counter says, "We're out of vanilla".
I wish I could ost a picture... but I can't find a digital copy.
people on chemo often have to make up 'ice cream'-like
concotions to get nourishment.
i'm going to try a nice salmon-mushroom shake..
Totally off topic...does it look like moochelle shaves her eyebrows?
Sorry for the chemo news. I lost 85#'s during my first set of chemo. I live in Washington, like you, I found medical pot or I would have lost 100#'s or worse, the doctor pulling the plug.
The second time, I had the med pot from the start and only lost 25#. Hope there won't be a third.
Good luck to you and seriously consider my suggestion. Enjoy your shake!
Candy-cap mushrooms, as their name implies, are quite sweet and suitable for use in desserts. They taste of maple syrup. I suspect this ice cream is delicious by almost anyone's standards.
"Candy-cap mushrooms, as their name implies, are quite sweet and suitable for use in desserts. They taste of maple syrup. I suspect this ice cream is delicious by almost anyones standards."
Interesting. Mr. Trisham and I are avid fans of "Chopped" and "Iron Chef America". I recall seeing a chef prepare some kind of fish ice cream. It was intriguing.
That's what rhubarb pie is for!
Hey, cream of mushroom soup works, doesn't it?
Now that sounds like a grandmother!
I love mushrooms! Steak and mushrooms, pepperoni and mushroom pizza, mushrooms sauteed in butter, salad with fresh mushrooms, Boeuf en Croute, the list is almost endless.
or a really really bad nursing home in your elder years."
My son gave me a funny wall plaque a couple of years ago for Christmas that covers just this issue. This was in response to a statement I had made earlier about my taking a trip which was only possible because I was spending his inheritence.
Ice cream is eggs, real vanilla, half and half or half milk and half cream. Beat the eggs, mix thoroughly with remaining ingredients, freeze, top with loads of hot fudge or caramel and eat. If you're going to use anything else, please don't call it ice cream.
Yes, her natural unibrow is shaped in a perpetually angry scowl, so she shaves it and then pencils in two completely different lines.

In short: A new benchmark for organised distance running!In full: Simply superb ... from the pre-race sign up, regular comms throughout build up, scheduled training runs, through to the day itself no detail had gone un-noticed and dealt with in a throroughly professional manner.The day itself was fantastic, with the whole operation on the racecouse running like clockwork.The course was excellent with a good mixture of the city sights and then out in to the countryside to get into your rythymn. Fantastic support from the villages too, helped no end by the masterstroke of printing names on the numbers.Then a great finish along the spectator lined river and finish infront of the granstand. Superb !Definately one to go on every self respecting runners 'must do' list.Date of review: October 13, 2011
