Northern cardinals are serially monogamous, though polygyny occasionally occurs. Despite being monogamous, northern cardinals frequently engage in extra-pair copulations. In one study, 9 to 35% of nestlings were the result of extra-pair copulations. Pair formation begins in early spring, and is initiated with a variety of physical displays. The male performs a variety of displays to attract a female, including courtship feeding. Breeding pairs may remain together year-round, and may breed together for several seasons. (Halkin and Linville, 1999)
Mating System: Monogamous
Northern cardinals breed between March and September. They usually raise two broods a year, one beginning around March and the second in late May to July. The second nest is often parasitized by brown-headed cowbirds. Nests are built by the female in dense tangles of vines or twigs in shrubs and small trees. The female lays 1 to 5 (usually 3) white to greenish eggs that average about one inch in length and one-half inch in diameter. Incubation begins when the last egg is laid, and is performed solely by the female. The male brings food to the incubating female. The eggs hatch after 11 to 13 days of incubation. The female broods the chicks for the first 2 days. Both parents feed the chicks a diet of insects. Both parents also remove fecal sacs from the nest. The chicks begin leaving the nest 7 to 13 (usually 9 to 10) days after hatching. The parents continue to feed the chicks for 25 to 56 days after they fledge from the nest. After leaving or being driven out of their parents' territory, young birds often join flocks of other juveniles. They may begin breeding the next spring. (Halkin and Linville, 1999)

The female northern cardinal builds the nest, incubates the eggs for 11 to 13 days, and broods the altricial chicks for the first 2 days or so. During incubation, the male brings food to the incubating female. Both parents feed the nestlings a diet of insects and remove fecal sacs from the nest. The parents continue to feed the chicks for 25 to 56 days after they fledge from the nest. (Halkin and Linville, 1999)

University of Prince Edward Island
Statements By Members
1:55 p.m.
Shawn Murphy Charlottetown, PE
Mr. Speaker, on May 13, the University of Prince Edward Island will host its 37th annual convocation. I would like at this time to extend my congratulations to the graduates and wish them continued success. I have no doubt that they will continue on to accomplish many great things.
As well, five honorary degrees will be awarded to outstanding members of the community. These individuals serve as excellent role models to the students and to societies. The recipients will be Elaine Campbell, Suzanne Lévesque, Fen Watkin, Pat Webster and David Rodd.
In addition, David Rodd is also being recognized through a new scholarship in his honour. UPEI's "David W. Rodd Scholarship in Tourism and Hospitality" acknowledges David's contributions to his community. He is a highly respected entrepreneur and admired leader in the hospitality industry. He is also an active citizen serving in key roles in several organizations.
I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating David, the honorary degree recipients and the newest graduates of UPEI.
Bloc Québécois Supporters
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Luc Malo Verchères—Les Patriotes, QC
Mr. Speaker, voters in a majority of ridings in Quebec selected the Bloc Québécois to represent them in the fifth consecutive federal election.
We owe this victory in large measure to the hard work and determination of generous volunteers, people of all ages, all walks of life and all backgrounds. The diversity of these people, who are defending ideas that reflect their experiences and their beliefs, enables the Bloc Québécois and its parliamentary wing to better defend the interests of Quebeckers. I pay tribute to them for their invaluable work.
I thank them for their involvement and their generosity and specifically I thank the extraordinary group of supporters from my riding, whom we welcome to Parliament Hill today.
We are honoured by your presence and encouraged by your enthusiasm. Thank for not sparing your time or your energy in your efforts to make Quebec a sovereign country.
Aeronautics Act
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Bruce Stanton Simcoe North, ON
Mr. Speaker, I would like to express my support for my constituents. I had the opportunity to speak with a number of them this past weekend on different matters affecting the House. One in particular was the issue relating to the Aeronautics Act.
In speaking with people who, in particular, are part of the general aviation community, they take great interest in the government's work in advancing aeronautical safety, especially in light of the different environment of those who work in the visual flight rules and general aviation community, and the kinds of safety measures that this will bring.
World Red Cross Red And Crescent Day
Statements By Members
May 8th, 2006 / 2 p.m.
Penny Priddy Surrey North, BC
Mr. Speaker, today, May 8, is the day that the international Red Cross and Red Crescent movement pays tribute to the 90 million volunteers who provide vital assistance worldwide. These humanitarian heroes, who sometimes risk their lives in order to help others, deserve the international community's thanks and recognition for their devotion and tireless efforts.
Around the world Red Cross and Red Crescent volunteers are active in a diverse range of activities, from alerting the public to the danger of landmines in Afghanistan, to fighting the stigma and discrimination related to HIV-AIDS in southern Africa. They also regularly come to the aid of millions of people affected by natural and man-made disasters, such as the Pakistan earthquake, the Darfur crisis and hurricanes in the Americas, while providing ongoing support to the survivors of the Asia tsunami.
Today and every day we honour those volunteers who make considerable personal sacrifices to help others.
Winnipeg South
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Rod Bruinooge Winnipeg South, MB
Mr. Speaker, as a proud citizen of Winnipeg, I would like to highlight the recent visits of the Minister for la Francophonie and Official Languages to our city's historical francophone communities.
Manitoba is home to numerous and long-standing French populations, many of which were founded by the coureurs des bois, or voyageurs, who were fur traders who bartered with local aboriginal nations, forming a unique community. During her visit, the minister spent her time witnessing the vibrant contribution made by these founding cultures.
I was also very proud to accompany the minister as she viewed important historical documents of Manitoba's Métis nation, cared for by the Franco-Manitoban Cultural Centre. The hard work of institutions like this will help ensure the preservation of our country's most treasured heritage. They deserve our heartfelt acknowledgement and thanks.
Saint-Joseph de Madawaska School
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Jean-Claude D'Amours Madawaska—Restigouche, NB
Mr. Speaker, I will take time today to talk about a group of young students in my riding.
On March 27, I was invited to talk to a class at the Saint-Joseph de Madawaska school about the duties and responsibilities of a member of Parliament. In our discussions, the students were particularly interested in Canadian politics and the parliamentary system in general. I must say I answered a lot of interesting questions and came to understand through this opportunity that we must take the time to talk with our society's young people, as they are its future.
I would like to thank Jessica Bernier, Brenda Bossé, Stacey Bossé, Stéphanie Bossé, Beverlie Boucher, Kaven Lagacé, Pierre Landry, Jonathan Levesque, Mélanie Levesque, Vincent Michaud, Amélie Morin, Pénélope Morin, Dominic Nadeau, Chloé Ouellet, Frédéric Plourde, Vincent Sirois-Turgeon and Frédéric Thériault for welcoming me into their social studies class. My thanks as well to their teacher, Martine Martin.
National Mining Week
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Christian Paradis Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Natural Resources
Mr. Speaker, from May 8 to 14, I invite all Canadians to celebrate National Mining week. This year's theme is "Canada's Mining Industry: Contributing to Economic Development at Home and Abroad".
Mining is one of the Canadian economy's key engines of growth. From 2003 to 2004, total production value increased from $50 billion to $60 billion and it continues to increase. What is more, in just a few years' time, Canada has worked its way up to third place among diamond mining countries.
Mining is also one of our main tools for the socio-economic development of aboriginal peoples. In Canada, more than 1,200 aboriginal communities are located within a 200 kilometre radius of operating mines.
Positive effects of mining—jobs, training and benefits to the communities—are felt in every corner of Canada.
Our mining industry creates opportunities for the people and communities touched by its activities.
I invite all Canadians to join me in celebrating this important Canadian industry during National Mining Week.
World Red Cross and Red And Crescent Day
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Christiane Gagnon Québec, QC
Mr. Speaker, today is World Red Cross and Red Crescent Day .
Since 1863, the Red Cross has been working to improve conditions for vulnerable people locally and globally.
In Quebec, nearly 10,000 volunteers operate more than 700 interventions annually to help disaster victims.
The International Committee of the Red Cross and the Red Crescent, working under the Fundamental Principle of neutrality, enters conflict areas to promote and reinforce international humanitarian law and principles.
Over the past decade, 160 of their delegates were killed in the performance of their duties. In 1979, Jean Pictet, former ICRC vice-president, said, "For the Red Cross there is no just war and no unjust war - there are only victims in need of help".
I want to commend and thank the Red Cross and the Red Crescent for their tireless dedication.
Human Rights
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Calgary Southeast
Jason Kenney Parliamentary Secretary to the Prime Minister
Mr. Speaker, I had the honour of being present on March 22 when the League for Human Rights of B'nai Brith Canada publicly released its 2005 audit of anti-Semitic incidents, an annual study on patterns of prejudice against Jews in our country. The audit is internationally recognized as the single-most credible source on anti-Semitism in Canada.
In total, 829 anti-Semitic incidents were reported to the league in 2005. This number marks the second highest total in the 23-year history of the audit. Since 2001, the total number of incidents has increased almost threefold in Canada. The explosion of hate on the Internet, which amounts to a global invasion, is a priority concern also documented in the audit.
Anti-Semitism has many faces, its expressions are both subtle and overt and no one segment of Canada's Jewish community is immune from it.
After commemorating Yom HaShoah, the systematic slaughter of six million Jews in the second world war, we must remember never to be complacent. I join all my colleagues and the government in recommitting ourselves to fighting the scourge of anti-Semitism here and throughout the world in all its forms.
Mining Industry
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Roy Cullen Etobicoke North, ON
Mr. Speaker, this week is Mining Week in Canada, a time to celebrate and highlight the many accomplishments of the mining industry and the contribution that this sector makes to Canada.
This industry employs more than 370,000 Canadians in rural and urban areas and is a world leader in sustainable mining technologies. It accounts for 4% of our gross domestic product and is the largest employer of aboriginal Canadians in the private sector.
While there are many positive things of which to speak, there are also challenges. The industry requires investment in geosciences and support for a geological mapping strategy. It also faces a growing labour shortage as the industry will require up to 81,000 new people in the next 10 years.
The recent Conservative budget failed to address these concerns.
A new Liberal government would meet these challenges head on and ensure that our very important mining industry in Canada continues to grow and prosper.
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Dean Allison Niagara West—Glanbrook, ON
Mr. Speaker, earlier today I stood in the House to speak to the strengths of the budget announced by the hon. Minister of Finance last week, a budget that will give all Canadians the kind of tax relief that they so richly deserve.
While there are many things to be thankful for in this budget, let me mention one of particular interest and importance to many of my constituents.
This budget has announced the elimination of excise tax on the first 500,000 litres of 100% VQA Canadian wine produced by each winery. This single decision will assist small and medium sized wineries to be more competitive, both domestically and internationally. It will also help them to grow their businesses, strengthen the economy and, ultimately, put Canadian wines on the world stage.
On behalf of the Canadian wineries and vintners, not only in my riding but across the country, let me thank the hon. Minister of Finance and this government for helping to build a brighter future for Canadians and for Canadian businesses.
John Atkinson
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Joe Comartin Windsor—Tecumseh, ON
Mr. Speaker, it is with great sadness that I rise today to pay tribute to Constable John Atkinson, a Windsor police service constable who, on Friday afternoon in the process of intervening to stop a crime, was fatally shot.
This tragic incident has my community reeling with shock and sorrow. The city of Windsor is collectively mourning the loss of this dedicated and committed public servant, father and husband, a community-minded individual who, over his 14 years of service as a member of the Windsor Police, received 35 letters of recognition and 6 divisional commendations for his excellent work, a true testament to the type of man and officer he was.
The outpouring of love and sympathy, not only from local residents but from throughout the province and, in fact, the whole country, is recognition of Constable Atkinson's courage and heroism.
On behalf of myself, the member for Windsor West, members of this House and all the people of Windsor I express my deepest condolences to his family, particularly to his wife Shelly, his son Mitchell and his daughter Nicole. We mourn with them. Our thoughts and prayers are with them.
World Red Cross Red Crescent Day
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Dominic LeBlanc Beauséjour, NB
Mr. Speaker, today is World Red Cross Red Crescent Day. Every year on May 8 the international community recognizes the contribution made by the Red Cross movement to humanity.
The International Committee of the Red Cross was founded in 1863 by a Swiss businessperson named Henry Dunant after he had witnessed the terrible suffering of the war-wounded at the battle of Solferino in 1859.
From a small committee based in Geneva, the Red Cross movement has grown and expanded its activities to the point where there are national societies in 183 countries, 100 million volunteers and 300,000 staff members worldwide. It is the largest humanitarian organization in the world.
The mission of the Red Cross is to mobilize the power of humankind to help the most vulnerable. The growth of the Red Cross shows the power of an idea and the impact one person can have on the course of events.
Member for Papineau
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Maka Kotto Saint-Lambert, QC
Mr. Speaker, on May 3, the member for Papineau was awarded the Ordre de la Pléiade in recognition of her contribution to promoting francophone culture around the world.
Born in Haiti, the member for Papineau chose Quebec as her home in 1967, the year Montreal hosted the world exposition.
Senghor said: "The words of the French language shine with a thousand lights, like the diamonds of the Pleiades". The member for Papineau embodies this deep attachment to the French language, and she has fought for a better world in this language she holds so dear.
In 2002, in an impassioned plea, she said that to resist meant organizing our action around alternatives, around ways that will let us put the welfare of our people and the planet on every world leader's agenda.
We are honoured to have her fighting with us for an independent Quebec.
John Atkinson
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Sue Barnes London West, ON
Mr. Speaker, on Friday afternoon, Constable John Atkinson, a veteran officer with the Windsor Police, was tragically shot and killed in the line of duty.
John Atkinson, a plain-clothes officer, a husband and father of two, had loyally served the citizens of Windsor for 14 years. At this time of sorrow and grief, our thoughts and prayers are with Constable Atkinson's family, his friends and his loved ones.
Constable Atkinson's example of a career dedicated to upholding the law strengthens the resolve of all Canadians to combat violence in our communities.
We now join together, representatives of all parties, today in this chamber to honour the memory of Constable John Atkinson, a true Canadian hero.

Driven by curiosity, wanderlust, and health crises, David Downie and his wife set out from Paris to walk across France to the Pyrenees. Starting on the Rue Saint-Jacques then trekking 750 miles south to Roncesvalles, Spain, their eccentric route takes 72 days on Roman roads and pilgrimage paths - a 1,100-year-old network of trails leading to the sanctuary of Saint James the Greater. It is best known as El Camino de Santiago de Compostela - "The Way" for short. The object of any pilgrimage is an inward journey manifested in a long, reflective walk. For Downie, the inward journey met the outer one: a combination of self-discovery and physical regeneration. More than 200,000 pilgrims take the highly commercialized Spanish route annually, but few cross France. Downie had a goal: to go from Paris to the Pyrenees on age-old trails, making the pilgrimage in his own maverick way.

"Misleading title"
This is not a book about a walk from Paris to the Pyrenees. This is a book about walking in Burgundy, being sure to avoid Taizé. Really disappointed with this book
the material wasn't great to work with

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (56 votes).
In short: Shows promise, but could do better In full: Positives- Great weather: a tiny bit chilly to start but clear blue skies all the way around-- Running through Watermead Park: a very pleasant part of the route and you'd easily forget you were running through an industrial city- I was happy with my time of 1:53:12, especially since I've only been running at weekends for the past couple of months- A nice medal, t-shirt, banana and bottle of water: all you really need in way of a race-pack- The post-race meal at the Landsdowne Pub on London Road, which never disappoints when it comes to foodNegatives- A ban on MP3 players, because of 'elf and safety. I'm used to running with music, and while I suspect it may have been for insurance reasons, banning music players seemed a bit over the top to me- The finish forced you through a couple of army tents and we were penned in like sheep, steadily seizing up, as we waited to pick up our medals and t-shirts. Why couldn't they just have a wide cordoned off area for this - there was the whole of Victoria Park to play with?- A bit of confusion in pre-race correspondence (i.e. where to pick up race packs; besides, why couldn't they mail them like every other race?)- The support was quite poor, compared to other races I've done, like Reading, Hastings or the Great North Run. Big thanks to those who turned out to cheer us on, but Leicester's Sunday morning shoppers just looked at the runners like we were zoo animalsDate of review: October 14, 2012
In short: Excellent organisation. The marshals and people supporting at the drinks stations were great. There seemed more crowd support this year. The course undulates a bit. The weather was ideal. All in all an excellent day. Date of review: October 14, 2012
In short: My First. I'll never forget it. All the Marshalls were brilliantIn full: My first Marathon, in fact my first race.You start in the heart of the city. At the top of a hill in Victoria Park sweep down around the edge of the town, then onto some big roads, then after about 6 miles the half splits off back into the town, and the full then does a 13.1M loop through the countryside through some small towns with lots of people cheering you in the towns, and quiet inbetween. Then after this extra (completely different 13.1M loop) you then come back to where you were at 6M and continue down the same route the half marathoners took a bit earlier and you go through a couple of parks and back into the edge of Leicester, then through the main shopping streets, then the only really steep bit of the race is a slog up the hill you came down initially back to Victoria Park. It's hard this hill right a the end but I found it fun. I was going to struggle at the end whatever the terrain, so why not go uphill. Then you have a flat 200m dash to the finish.It was great everyone was so helpful, in the quiet bits you need the marshalls otherwise you would get lost but they have it covered. Oh... and after about 15 miles there is a drink stop outside a village hall where two very nice ladies were looking after the village hall loos, and making them lovely and clean for us to use. I was dreading messy loos and these were spotless. Love the whole thing will be back next year.Date of review: October 14, 2012
In short: Well organised and marshaledIn full: This was my first road race, I do XC and fell running normaly. I wasn't particularly looking forward to it as I'd only entered it as a couple of mates were doing it. But I thoroughly enjoyed it, the atmosphere was great helped my the enthusiastic marshals and the local residents who clapped us on. the last couple of miles up through the shopping areas was briliant. I will definatly do it again next year.Date of review: October 13, 2011
In short: My First marathon, great experience!In full: Having never run a marathon before I was a bit unsure what to expect in terms of organisation and support but this was fantastic, it was great to see everyone in the smaller villages come out of their houses and cheer us on.I think the race would have been better if there were a few more marathon runners, it felt a little lonely at times after the full split from the half route but hopefully this will improve as the event becomes more established Date of review: October 13, 2011
In short: Friendly, well-organised, room for fine-tuningIn full: I did the full marathon route.I'll start with my only significant complaint - the website was lacklustre and didn't include the map of the full marathon route. This gave me the impression that we would be doing 2x13 mile loops, and I only got the proper route after e-mailing the organisers.Otherwise, a very friendly race. The marshalling was precise and spot-on, the volunteers were full of encouragement, especially in the more remote parts of the marathon course.A good, straight first 6 miles or so down Melton Road. Then the countryside was beautiful to run through (Miles 6-15). The route seemed a bit disjointed after about mile 15, including a rather hairy run down the hard shoulder of a trunk road (A46)? Going through the parks into the City Centre towards the rear of the field, it felt more like a training run than a race, but I appreciate that the parks must be the best option in terms of road closures etc. Also a bit difficult running through shoppers at mile 24/25. But an epic climb up New Walk to finish.Still, a well-organised, well-marshalled and friendly run. It's easy to split hairs and I would like to thank the organisers for their efforts.Date of review: October 11, 2011
In short: Well organised and decent courseIn full: Having done this in 2007 on what was a white urban dull course, this year I returned and the route was far more scenic. I wouldnt call it flat, more slightly undulating. There are no big hills, but a few undulations to test tired legs. Especially of note is that last mile, a 1m slog up a hill through the heart of the city centre. A real test at the end! Good organisation, ecellent marshalls and gels/high-5 and water a plenty.Date of review: October 10, 2011
In short: Great people, great organisation, great race, In full: Big thank you to all of the marshalls and local supporters, it really does make all the difference when the going gets tough. My second full Leicester marathon and it won't be the last highly recommended for first time runners.Date of review: October 10, 2011
In short: Couldn't have been betterIn full: First time out for me and over my home course as well. Excellent event all round. Agree with the comments on the marshalls, they were great and just what you needed to keep you going. Great spirt between runners also. The band as you came out of Highcross were awesome. Really enjoyed it a promising myself I will be back..Leicester RocksDate of review: October 10, 2011
In short: Good course, well organised but I had a mare of a race :O( Date of review: October 10, 2011

An arts-based exchange, the Showcase is a dynamic way to share the vision, artistry and diverse viewpoints of American filmmakers. USC convened a committee of 23 notable filmmakers, academics and film experts that recommended a slate of films for their cinematic mastery and without regard to specific policies or practices depicted in the film. The program, like so many of the Department's public diplomacy initiatives, demonstrates the diversity of thought and style in the United States.
This was the basis of a two-day orientation we had over the weekend with the participating filmmakers. The American Film Showcase sends award-winning documentaries, animation, and, for the first time, feature films to people around the world, offering diverse views of American society and culture as seen by independent filmmakers. A number of embassies will now have the opportunity to select a film and bring the filmmaker to their host country to facilitate workshops about filmmaking as well as discussions about freedom of expression.
Filmmakers will carry with them the excitement and passion that permeated this weekend's events. From the welcoming reception in an "old Hollywood setting" within USC's state-of-the-art cinematic arts facility to a day of meetings and briefings on the objectives of the program, the filmmakers and film experts expressed enthusiasm for this valuable exchange opportunity.
We were impressed by this class of filmmakers' interest in reaching new audiences and using the universal language of film to start conversations with a wide range of different cultures that may not have had access to American films. Many of the participants have traveled worldwide to film festivals, participated in international discussions, and taught in or conducted workshops or master classes sharing their craft and their expertise.
From documentary film legend Les Blank to newcomers Daniel Lindsay and T.J. Martin, whose film Undefeated is nominated for an Academy Award this year, the American Film Showcase includes leading lights in the filmmaking community and film experts. These cinematic leaders not only share technical expertise, but also encourage understanding of the role of filmmaking as a catalyst for dialogue about important contemporary issues. For example, a number of participants are dedicated to supporting women in filmmaking and giving voice to women's issues. All of the film experts and film makers are enthusiastic about fostering conversations that will contribute to empowering women and girls.
Having met the American Film Showcase Class of 2012, the Department is more excited than ever to reach people through film, and, in the process, create opportunities for greater understanding among all people and cultures.

What is a Form 1099-MISC? (View a sample form)
A 1099-MISC may be used to show a variety of different types of income. Based on which box the entry is in and what the income is for, you will report the income differently on your tax return. For a list of what each box's entry is for and how to report it, click here.
The two most common entries on Form 1099-MISC are Box 3, Other Income and Box 7, Nonemployee Compensation. Box 3 entries are generally just included on line 21 of your return as Other Income. However, for Box 7 amounts you generally have to fill out a Schedule C and treat the income as if you earned it from operating your own business. For more information on Box 7 entries, click here.

Skip to comments.Obama 'deeply concerned' by Egyptian military's removal of Morsi
Posted on 07/03/2013 4:13:45 PM PDT by ColdOne
President Barack Obama is "deeply concerned" by the Egyptian Armed Forces' decision to remove President Mohamed Morsi from power Wednesday and hopes to see the military quickly return authority to a democratic government.
"The United States is monitoring the very fluid situation in Egypt, and we believe that ultimately the future of Egypt can only be determined by the Egyptian people," Obama said in a statement released nearly four hours after the Egyptian military announced it had removed Morsi from his post. Obama spent part of the afternoon leading a meeting in the Situation Room with members of his national security team, including Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and National Security Adviser Susan Rice, who started her current job on Monday.
"Nevertheless, we are deeply concerned by the decision of the Egyptian Armed Forces to remove President Morsi and suspend the Egyptian constitution. I now call on the Egyptian military to move quickly and responsibly to return full authority back to a democratically elected civilian government as soon as possible through an inclusive and transparent process, and to avoid any arbitrary arrests of President Morsi and his supporters," he continued.
(Excerpt) Read more at politico.com ...
Ooooooooooh, deeply.
.not surprising of a response from Obama
I don't buy it. He supported ElBaredai in the beginning and now that's the first name being floated.
Did he read about it in the newspaper?
Makes me feel so safe knowing those dim bulbs are on job.
Naturally he's upset. Imagine if in the US we started throwing out lying Islamists?
Look over your shoulder Obama, you never know what tomorrow might bring.
worried cuz........he's gonna come home and the muslim brotherhood is going to be sitting on the whitehouse steps.
Of course he's "deeply concerned" - Morsi is one of his buddies.
The Military is also stopping the Muslim Brotherhood members from leaving the country , LOL , the military knows who you are and where you live hehe
The United States is monitoring the very fluid situation in Egypt on facebook, email and cellphone calls....
and to avoid any arbitrary arrests of President Morsi and his supporters," he continued.
I'm sure he is... now he's going to have to spend another $3 billion to try and get another radical Muslim elected.
Arrest morsi - and shoot him while he attempts to escape. That's the only way to go with a dictator.
The Venezuelan army let Chavez go (in response to US pleas) after removing him and in no time at all he was back, many of the army went to jail or were removed, and he clamped down with a Marxist dictatorship that destroyed VZ.
That has actually happened in several Latin American countries where the people and the military ousted a leftist and, because they failed to kill him, he got back into power, often at the behest of the US or the UN. Naturally, he swore he'd be a good boy, and naturally he immediately purged the resistance forces and locked the country down.
The lesson: when you have the dictator in your hands, kill him right then and there. And then feed his remains to the sharks just to make sure.
How does one say "F U B O" in Arabic?
I feel the same as you. Once I heard the scum waiting in the wings, I have to wonder. I keep thinking about the ultimate battle being between the leftists and the Islamists. Even though they seem to be in bed together now, perhaps something is happening here we have yet to comprehend!
Chili did it right with Gen. Pinochet. IMO
Huma and Hillary will likely have a special "session" tonight.
Who would really miss them...??
No wait....
That Soetoro kid would really miss them...
Solyndra... Tesla... MB... ad nauseam
A certain coveted & historic legacy is being quickly reduced to two simple words: "Tough Sh*t"
LOL! zing!
Yeah, Barack, I saw where you where coming from when Honduras, by their own laws, took care of Zelaya when he tried to become president for life. I see it now in your "concern" for the ouster of Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood--while its not the same as what happened in Honduras, the circumstances leading up to what happened in Egypt are eerily similar to what your own administration is doing, i.e., you won the election, but your policies are all aimed at solidifying power in contravention of the democratic process.
So, Barack, is the "concern" for the deposing of your Muslim Brotherhood buddies, or because it could portend something in your future if you continue your lawless ways?
The only thing nobama is really "deeply concerned" about is whether or not justice will catch him and if he will be imprisoned for the rest of his destructive, worthless existence.
He sees it as a glimmer, a foreshadowing of his future perhaps?
ElBaredai is a "moderate" muslim and global socialist (Happy face caliphist) and he has all the right friends like George Soros, Kofi Annan, Sandy Berger, and just about every far left state department official going back to the Carter administration.
He's the perfect transitional leader to put off the inevitable war between the globalists and the caliphists.
Zero can't get Egypt to attack Israel as fast as he had planned.
Maybe he'll have a stroke or something.
Joint Chiefs of Staff?
Afraid they might take a hint from Egypt?
After all - it is quite inconsiderate of the Egyptians to cause a ruckus while the King and Queen are are touring their African Provinces.
Only because it might happen here when the usurper does not step down after being impeached...
Egypt is now short one muslim president and we have one too many.
Maybe we can work out a deal.
Well, Clinton have been giving them aids and comfort since his governor days...
I've been deeply concerned for 4.5 yrs that this A-Hole is the POTUS.
Barry Sotero is possibly one of the least accomplished, worthless humans who has ever lived. And to think that he became head of what was once the most powerful nation in the world. Pretty depressing.
These guys are not understanding the Liberal Agenda! Must sell more NY Times to them.
I didn't even know Barry was back from his African Adventure?
A traitor in every sense.
Little barry bastard boy needs to shut up and take a low profile. At least Morsi was constitutionally eligible to hold the office before making of himself a criminal to be removed ...
Obama shouldn't be wasting his time making empty statements now, he should be doing everything possible to get our embassy personnel out of Cairo as quickly as possible.
The millions of Egyptians cheering Morsi's overthrow must despise Obama for putting him into office, so everything should be done to protect our people.
The last thing we need is for another U.S. ambassador to go down Benghazi style and have to listen to Susan Rice lying her way through another full Ginzberg on the talk shows this Sunday.
McCain should be chiming in soon to propose a "no fly zone" and bombing campaign.
Oh, so he reveres constitutions, does he? Funny-he considers ours an impediment. Or....perhaps it's the image of a military removing a President that gives him a cold, creepy feeling? Hmmm.....It's how people have removed unwanted 'rulers' for millennia.
Obama's probably scared the same thing can happen to him..oh I wish it could
Of course he is. Along with Zero, Hillary, Rino's and the liberal media
bet the ranch on the "Arab Spring" with the radical Muslim Brotherhood.
It appears all made terrible decisions.
Yes and I'm deeply concerned this poser is still in the White House!

Need motivation? Find it here!
On January 1st, I bet you�like so many of us,�felt super-hopeful and enthusiastic about that new year�s resolution to start a running program, or go to the gym four times a week or do yoga every day.
Now, as we edge forward into February and March, maybe it�s not as easy to maintain that resolve, especially for those of us in the dark mid-winter when all we really want to do is hibernate.� My running program stalled out last week because there was just no way I was going out there with a wind chill factor of minus 25 degrees Celsius. No. Way.
Weather isn�t the only deterrent. It�s just not all that easy to stay as excited about anything over the long haul as we are the day we embark on it, full of optimism and gusto.
If you�re having difficulty staying motivated, here are 14 suggestions for getting out the door, to the mat, or wherever you need to go to fulfill your training commitment.

With HP Converged Storage, management is autonomic
Autonomic management is how HP describes taking manual tasks and making them automatic, so you don't have to think about them. It's management that takes place intelligently, at a sub-system level and without administrator intervention to increase storage agility and minimizing the time you spend doing things that should be done for you.
Provisioning, change management, tiering, data movement—not only does autonomic management reduce the time required to perform these tasks, but it minimizes the chance of making mistakes while doing them. Autonomic management makes your storage self-configuring, self-optimizing, self-monitoring and self-healing. It's storage that just works, so you can work on other things.
Save Time
Eliminate up to 90% of the time that you currently spend doing tedious, manual storage administration tasks.1 Provision just once for the lifetime of an application. Simplify change management and minimize the potential for human error.
Autonomic management, your way (brochure)
Save Money
Policy-driven, autonomic storage tiering balances cost and performance automatically, intelligently, and without manual intervention to lower your total cost of ownership for storage.
Stay Protected
Autonomic storage reporting tools detect and resolve performance and utilization issues before they become problems.
HP 3PAR StoreServ Secure Service Architecture (white paper)
Converged storage management
But of course storage is only part of your infrastructure. What about your servers and networking gear, and their relationships with your storage? Most management tools are designed with specialists in mind, but sometimes you need the big picture. In hybrid, cloud, and software-defined data centers, control is moving up the management stack—from IT specialists to IT generalists, to application and service owners, to users, and ultimately to applications themselves. Converged management embraces this trend.
HP believes that a big part of tearing down data center silos is transforming management as well—into something that's not just automated, but converged, software-defined, and open. With insight and control that spans compute, storage, and networking domains, converged management means fewer conversations, fewer customized scripts, fewer errors, and faster time to solution.
Autonomic Management in action
|Managing your storage with HP OneView
Get a single, converged infrastructure management tool for storage management that's tightly integrated with the server provisioning process. Bring up a server networking and SAN connections, SAN zoning, and underlying storage volume provisioning. Create volumes, attach and present nodes to volumes, connect up those nodes, and monitor infrastructure relationships.
Our solution:
|Managing 3PAR StoreServ Storage
Flexibly manage all of your HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage from a single interface with the same look, feel and functionality of HP OneView. Designed to serve diverse workloads including block, file, and object access, the simple dashboard provides all the information you need at a glance with customizable reporting capabilities that remove the need for add-on software tools, diagnostics, and troubleshooting.
Our solution:
HP 3PAR StoreServ Management Console
|Autonomic management for virtualized, hybrid and cloud data centers
Get the same visibility and control you get over infrastructure in higher-level managers, too. Integration into VMware vCenter and Microsoft System Center give VMware and Microsoft administrators greater visibility and control over their storage.

The town of Coulee Dam and the school district teamed up early this week to get sufficient power to A.E. Wright Elementary so the abatement of hazardous materials could begin before the old facility is torn down to make way for a new school.
IRS Environmental, a sub-contractor, was on site Monday getting set up to build containment areas so they could work on removing asbestos that laces the old school.
General contractor Elder Demolition of Spokane, said the abatement process will take several weeks and then demolition will begin.
Elder will have 75 days to get the project finished. Project manager Justin Arrand, said Monday that he didn't see any problems. His company at the same time is dismantling an aluminum plant and another big mill.
"But we like to do the small jobs because we can relate to people in the area," he said. "Here, if someone comes along and says that they would like a board or other material because they went to school here, we'll try to accommodate them."
Right now, Elder workers are clearing the rooms of materials that were left behind. Then, IRS workers will come in and set up their removal gear.
"When you see that black trailer leaving the site, you'll know that it is the hazardous material leaving the area," Arrand noted.
IRS workers will isolate an entire room or section of a room, collect hazardous material and then move on.
Workers plan to do the south wing first. Work should be complete by Oct. 13.
Concrete and pavement will be crushed and retained on site for fill purposes when the new construction gets underway.
The schedule calls for the project to go out to bid next January with construction to follow. The school will be occupied in the fall of 2014, if everything goes on schedule.

New Dawn Enterprises

Mark Eyking Sydney—Victoria, NS
Mr. Speaker, I have the pleasure today to rise to speak about an organization in my riding called New Dawn Enterprises. It is a private, volunteer directed, not for profit organization dedicated to building community.
New Dawn has units of affordable housing located on the old radar base in Sydney, Cape Breton, which has been renamed the Pine Tree Park. The Pine Tree Park has about 40 units of affordable housing, but now only 17 are occupied. Other units cannot be occupied because the soil is contaminated.
The community council, made up of various community organizations, have taken the lead in trying to get the Department of National Defence to act.
I am calling on the Department of National Defence and the minister from Nova Scotia to take action and have this site cleaned up without delay. Currently, there are 23 units vacant and this is unacceptable as they can be occupied by families in need.
Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry

Merv Tweed Brandon—Souris, MB
Mr. Speaker, it is with great pride and honour that I rise today to speak about the brave men and women of 2nd Battalion Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry.
In the new year, approximately 800 personnel from 2nd Battalion based in CFB Shilo will be deployed to Afghanistan. Although PPCLI from our local Canadian Forces Base Shilo has been active in every deployment to defend the Afghanistan people, this is by far the largest contingent. They are preparing to play a lead role in the mission to rid the country of the Taliban terrorists and bring freedom and democracy to the people.
Much has been done, but there is much more to do. I salute these brave men and women of CFB Shilo, as well as all of our Canadian troops as they continue their work defending and rebuilding the war-torn country in their quest to bring peace to the people of Afghanistan.
On behalf of the people of Brandon—Souris, myself and all Canadians, I wish them all the best and a safe return.

Mr. Speaker, October 1 was International Day of Older Persons. To mark the occasion, the federation of seniors' clubs of eastern Quebec organized a seminar and invited all of the political parties. The only one to attend was the Bloc Québécois. It was clear from the seminar that the Bloc Québécois is needed, now more than ever, to relay seniors' demands to Ottawa.
Lack of representation from federalist parties says a lot about how important they think seniors are. The Bloc Québécois, on the other hand, will continue to bring seniors' demands to Ottawa. The Bloc demands full retroactive payment of all moneys owed from the guaranteed income supplement. The Bloc also demands that the government invest necessary funds in social and affordable housing, transfer funds to Quebec to provide adequate support to caregivers, and substantially increase the guaranteed income supplement.
In conclusion, my colleagues and I will continue to stand up for the men and women we now call seniors, the men and women who shaped our society.

Mr. Speaker, last Thursday the chief government whip and his wife Leah, together with Afghan Ambassador Omar Samad and his wife Khorshied, co-hosted a hugely successful shawl sale at the National Arts Centre here in Ottawa.
These beautiful scarves are hand-woven by talented women in Afghanistan, using pure silk from Herat, an ancient city in western Afghanistan.
At last week's event, 296 scarves at $80 each were sold and a total of $23,680 was raised. Every dollar will be returned to these entrepreneurs, providing them with critical financial support while promoting literacy among Afghan women and children.
We wish to thank the NAC, Apotex and all the MPs and staff who supported this effort to help women and their families in Afghanistan.
This very successful event so well demonstrates the enduring Canadian spirit of people helping people, both here, at home and around the world.
Arctic Sovereignty

Roy Cullen Etobicoke North, ON
Mr. Speaker, Arctic sovereignty begins at home, as Mary Simon, Canada's former Ambassador for Circumpolar Affairs, wisely points out.
We need to focus on positive references to northern Canada and the emphasis on Arctic sovereignty in the Speech from the Throne in order to ensure that aboriginal peoples share that vision and can take part in the sustainable development of the changing landscape in northern Canada.
This means consulting with Inuit, Métis and first nations people of the north as Canada's strategy for that region is developed.
International Polar Year runs through 2008 and marks the largest ever international program of scientific research focused on the Arctic and Antarctic regions. Thousands of scientists and researchers from more than 60 nations around the globe are participating.
Congratulations to Canadian Inuit leader Sheila Watt-Cloutier, who was a recent runner-up for the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize for her work on climate change and human rights.
We have started, but more needs to be done. Let us get on with it.
Canadian Coast Guard Auxiliary

Fabian Manning Avalon, NL
Mr. speaker, I am proud to rise today and acknowledge the hard work and dedication of the Newfoundland and Labrador members of the Canadian Coast Guard Auxiliary.
The Canadian Coast Guard Auxiliary was established in 1978 and is made up entirely of dedicated volunteers.

Nuclear Weapons
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Bill Siksay Burnaby—Douglas, BC
Mr. Speaker, last Thursday the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons, ICAN, was launched by Physicians for Global Survival, the Parliamentary Network on Nuclear Disarmament and Canadian Hiroshima survivor Setsuko Thurlow.
ICAN's goal is a nuclear weapons convention banning the development, possession and use of nuclear weapons.
Nuclear weapons have no military or security utility and their use can never be justified. Accidental use poses serious risk.
Nuclear weapon states continue to upgrade and build new nuclear weapons and other states seek to acquire them. De-alerting nuclear weapons must happen immediately. A no first use policy, a pledge never to initiate a nuclear exchange, must become universal.
Canada must become a nuclear weapons-free zone, call for the dismantling of nuclear weapons assigned to NATO, deny entrance to nuclear weapons in our ports, and stop exporting uranium to any nation that has nuclear weapons or has not signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
Automobile Industry
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Andrew Telegdi Kitchener—Waterloo, ON
Mr. Speaker, last year the Canadian auto sector had a trade deficit for the first time since 1987 and is on track for a much larger one this year.
Massive restructuring at GM and Ford, and the huge rise of the Canadian dollar have eroded our auto trade surplus for exports to the United States. At the same time, our automotive trade deficit with the rest of the world has grown.
The result has been the loss of tens of thousands of Canadian jobs in this sector. The region of Waterloo alone has lost 2,850 auto parts jobs in the past three years due to closures and downsizing.
Canada has a $3.5 billion trade deficit with Korea, $1.7 billion of which is in the auto sector. An unfair trade deal with Korea will mean over 4,000 more jobs lost in the auto sector and over 30,000 manufacturing job losses for Canadians. We must say no to a free trade agreement with Korea.
Loco Locass
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Monique Guay Rivière-du-Nord, QC
Mr. Speaker, it gives me great pleasure to pay tribute to the francophone rap group Loco Locass, which was named patriot of the year by the Société Saint-Jean-Baptiste. This title is given each year to people who have distinguished themselves with their enthusiasm for defending Quebec's rights as a nation. This year's choice confirms that the younger generation in Quebec is committed and ready to continue the fight for the French language.
This francophone rap group is made up of Quebeckers of diverse and mixed origins who describe themselves as being like a quilt. French and independence are their causes and their themes, which they explore in their exquisite rhythms and wonderful lyrics.
My Bloc Québécois colleagues join me in congratulating Loco Locass on being named patriot of the year. We are proud of its commitment to defending sovereignty and the French fact.
Remembrance Day
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Bernard Patry Pierrefonds—Dollard, QC
Mr. Speaker, I would like to take advantage of the occasion of Remembrance Day to pay tribute to all the men and women who have fought on behalf of Canada to ensure a free and prosperous future for Canadians.
In remembering the millions of Canadians who have served their country during various conflicts, as well as the tens of thousands who have given their lives defending our ideals, we recognize the importance of their sacrifices.
These men and women believed that their actions would have a positive impact on the future and they were right.
What is all too often forgotten, however, is that when Canadians went off to war, they did so, first and foremost, to defend our values, institutions and democracy.
Thus, it is our duty to ensure that their dream of peace is realized and lasts forever. Let us never forget.
Economic Statement
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Dave Batters Palliser, SK
Mr. Speaker, today the statement on Canada's economic and fiscal health will be delivered outside the House of Commons because of obstructionist tactics by the NDP.
The NDP's latest move is an outrageous and hypocritical reversal of its previous position that major announcements should be made in the House.
The NDP House leader sat on a parliamentary committee which recommended that "more ministerial statements and announcements be made in the House of Commons".
Perhaps the NDP has changed its position because it does not want Canadians to be reminded that it is under this Conservative government that the economy is growing. We have the lowest unemployment rate in 33 years and taxes are being cut, leaving more money for Canadians to spend, save and invest.
Canadians know that it is thanks to this Conservative government that they have more money in their pockets. They deserve better than petty NDP partisan games. It is time that the NDP started working with this Parliament instead of holding it back.
Elections Canada
Oral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Stéphane Dion Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, on Monday, when I learned about the allegations of improper campaign spending by a Liberal MP, I took immediate action.
However, months after Elections Canada ruled against 17 Conservative MPs, the Prime Minister has done nothing and even refuses to answer questions about the Conservative electoral scam.
Why, what did he know and when did he know it?
Elections Canada
Oral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Peter Van Loan Leader of the Government in the House of Commons and Minister for Democratic Reform
Mr. Speaker, I continue to be amazed that the Liberals rise on this issue.
I think John Ivison put it best in the National Post today when he wrote:
What can be said with confidence is that the Liberals are wasting their daily parliamentary showcase.... Unfortunately for the Liberals, it's their brand that has cornered the market on illegal party funding in recent years.
All this suggests that [the Liberal leader's] problems cannot be explained by bad luck, his poor English or his lack of charisma. Rather, it is a question of judgment. Some really questionable strategic decisions have been made by the leader.
I think that is pretty clear.
Elections Canada
Oral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Stéphane Dion Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, the Conservative Party would be better off reading Elections Canada rather than the National Post. It would learn that of the $1.2 million in over-the-limit election expenses for the last campaign, the Conservatives are attempting to get $800,000 back from Canadian taxpayers. The Prime Minister says nothing and does nothing but he must answer for this.
What did he know about these election shenanigans? When did he find out?
Elections Canada
Oral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Peter Van Loan Leader of the Government in the House of Commons and Minister for Democratic Reform
Mr. Speaker, yesterday, the member for Notre-Dame-de-Grâce—Lachine stood in the House and said that the member for West Vancouver—Sunshine Coast—Sea to Sky Country did the right thing and today it sounds like the Liberal leader agrees.
Let us review what he did according to his campaign workers: illegal cash payments, non-disclosure of campaign expenses, deliberate efforts to hide spending from Elections Canada and swept it all under the rug until it was on the front page of the Vancouver Province.
That may be what the Liberals call doing the right thing but that is what Canadians call Liberals doing business as usual.

Sadly, bigotry is ever with us
By SANDRA THOMPSON
Published August 19, 2006
Last weekend, after the bomb plot in England had crippled the airlines and before the cease fire between Israel and Hezbollah, my daughter was outside a New York City mosque where she is taking a class in Islam. She was still wearing a head scarf, as she had inside the mosque.
A man came up to her, and began talking rapidly in Arabic.
"English, please," she said, and he immediately switched to English. He apologized for his assumption. All he wanted was to ask where to find the entrance to the mosque.
When I heard this anecdote, I was filled with relief. Next summer she will be in Cairo with her husband, who is Egyptian and Muslim, while he finishes his medical studies. With the anti-American feeling in that part of the world, I had been reassuring myself that, with her long, thick, dark hair and green eyes, she could be Egyptian.
What she is, is German-English Protestant my side and Scots-Russian Jewish (her father's). In other words, an American. A friend who traveled to Egypt recently told me Egyptians love Americans; they just don't like American foreign policy. I've read the same thing many times about other countries in the Middle East and elsewhere. In that respect, I have to say they're more open minded than some of us.
I'm talking about people like the guys in Tampa who shouted "Drop the bomb!" at a Muslim woman as they drove by in a pickup truck. Or the guy who walked up to a Muslim man who was with his family in a St. Petersburg Wal-Mart, stared him in the face and called him "Osama."
These incidents clearly involved total jerks, but more subtle discrimination has been going on since 9/11.
The morning after 9/11, as I was going into a women's-only fitness club in St. Petersburg, right behind me was a young woman wearing a scarf. I don't know if she had said something or just looked a little scared, but the woman behind the desk said, softly but firmly, "If anyone gives you any trouble, just come to us."
The woman proceeded into the locker room, took off her scarf and changed into her workout clothes. She was about my daughter's age, and I felt protective of her, but five years ago I would never have anticipated I might have similar concerns for my own daughter.
Prejudice is a trendy thing. Some years, one group is in; others, it's out. When I was a little kid, even though my father had been an officer in the U. S. Navy during World War II and my grandparents were all born here, when I was asked where my family came from, I said, "England." It was one-quarter true; the other three-quarters are from Germany but, even then I knew that to some people, all Germans were Nazis.
In New York when a good friend and I were in our 20s, a guy spat at her on the street and hissed a four-letter slur usually aimed at Puerto Ricans. Maybe it was because of her curly, dark hair and hoop earrings, but, in fact, she is Irish, born in Georgia.
And when I was a freshman at a small Ohio college, I asked my parents if I could bring home the boy I was dating for Thanksgiving. It was too far to travel to his family, I explained, in Iran. My mother said, of course, bring him.
My father, who I am sorry to say was prejudiced against all the groups chosen to be hated at that time, was so fond of my new boyfriend he took us all for dinner and dancing at a posh hotel in Chicago.
Today I assume Charlie, whose given name was Farouk, was probably Muslim. At the time, though, the subject never came up.

Another email scamPosted Monday, May 4, 2009, at 7:39 AM
This morning I'm up before five a.m. with my brain working overtime, and my body wishing I could stay in bed. This blog is another form of mental therapy.
Time was when we could stay home, lock our doors, and feel safe in our own homes, assured that if we didn't go out looking for trouble, we wouldn't find it.
Now, thanks to this device known as a computer, shady folks such as "Mr. Monies Soloman," that generous (though fictitious) soul in Benin, can reach out and tap us on the shoulder, offering us sudden riches beyond our wildest dreams.
Having resisted the urge to return "Mr. Soloman's" email, I now find myself preyed upon by what appears to be that revered and respected governmental entity - the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, known affectionately as "the I.R.S." (three letters which strike fear in hearts of most Americans).
Yeah, you got it. My internet provider has let another slyly masked marauder into the inner sanctum of my home.
The impressive looking email arrived Wednesday, all decked out in the official United States Department of the Treasury logo -the blue box with the scales of justice on the left. The return address was "Internal Revenue Service On-Line," and the subject was "IRS Noticiation Tax refund." It said, "After the last annual calculations of your fiscal activity we have determined that you are eligible to receive a tax refund of $215.36. Please follow the link to continue:" The letter was signed by "Alice Pong, Tax Refund Department."
My first reaction was to believe the notification, since we all know that we're going to receive some sort of refund. However, a little warning voice went off in my head, and I treated the message like a snake.
My darling daughter is home this week for the Great Wallpaper Weekend (her attempt to remove any sign of Harvest Gold from my kitchen), so I had her take a look at my IRS notice. Being more computer literate than I, she determined that the email had been "blind-copied" (Bcc) to 11 other addresses, variations on my own. In other words, whoever sent it was not sure of my address. They were "fishing," or in internet terms - "phishing."
Phishing is defined as "the act of sending an e-mail to a user falsely claiming to be an established legitimate enterprise in an attempt to scam the user into surrendering private information that will be used for identity theft."
Online Fraud Detection and Prevention response:
"We have received your report of possible phishing or fraud. Although we review and investigate each email we receive, due to the number of incident complaints, we cannot guarantee a personal response to your message. Please note that the IRS does not contact individuals by email. Therefore, if you received an e-mail claiming to be from the IRS it is a phishing attempt and should be reported to us." (firstname.lastname@example.com)
My final comment on this subject:
It is wise to note that more is involved in this scheme than meets the eye. If you clink on a link in the email or open an attachment, you may activate a Trojan Horse, which can take over your computer hard drive and allow someone to have remote access to the computer.
It's a dangerous world out there, folks! Be careful!
From the green not-as-remote-as-I-thought hills of Tillman, Missouri, this is your rural reporter, Madeline, waking up with a hot cup of coffee and a kitchen with much less harvest gold than it had last week.

I've been getting a lot of official looking emails from Citibank, eBay, Yahoo, etc. and it's so hard to send them to the Spam folder because "you never know..."
Unless I've actually ordered something from a company and I know I should be receiving an email, it's off to the Spam folder!

I love Harvest Gold,,,,,,,,,,,,I believe the word "notisiciation' was misspelled, or close to that,,,,,,,,,unless an email is from a friend, relative or company to which I do business, immediately delete the little fella....stay safe. Dexterite.

Madeline DeJournett's response:Dexterite, are you correcting my spelling??? Shame on you! How can you say that I misspelled "notisiciation," when you spelled it like THAT???? Haha! You're a sweetheart, anyway!
I've never been able to find the SpellCheck on this system, so I find myself making mistakes and being too lazy to look them up. My computer here at home can run several applications of Explorer at one time, so I can minimize one application, open another, and check the spelling of a word that way, without having to get out of the blog. Handy dandy!
Did anybody see that italics mess I had this morning? I couldn't close that font control, and all your comments were in italics. I had to delete all the commands. Oh, well...
Anyway, I have to keep some of the harvest gold, as my 34-year-old refrigerator still works fine, and I can't afford to change countertops and tile. Have you noticed how many people laugh when you tell them you have harvest gold in your kitchen????
I haven't received any e-mails such as this for awhile. I did however have a 'text alert' panic a group of teenagers I was chaperoning this weekend. One of the teens received a text regarding someone allegedly putting 'blood' in ketchup bottles. This made the entire group (after a bit of squealing) decide they would only use ketchup from packets. Once the squealing came to a low roar we had a quick lesson on how to look up 'urban legends' via www.snopes.com. After a quick search of the subject 'blood in ketchup' the group learned this particular e-mail originated in 2004 and is indeed false.

A "teachable moment!" Don't you love 'em? And they'll never forget it.

MD, there are a couple of easy protections. First, don't do on-line banking. Second, don't provide your bank with an email address. Third, if possible don't do online tax filing. Fourth, if you insist on providing an email address to your bank, etc., set up a separate account for only them with an easily recognizable name like bankmd@...... . That way you will know to automatically delete any email you receive concerning your finances addressed to a different address.
