Location excellent, very old apartment, 2 keys were given to us who are being opened and closed with one dificuladade the front door of the apartment. Domestic utensils not very velhos.secadora clothes funcionava.o heating system worked only in 1 room and other environments too cold. left much to be desired.
Localizacao excelente, apartamento muito velho, foram dadas 2 chaves para nos sendo que so uma abria e fechava com dificuladade a porta de entrada do apartamento. utensilios domesticos muito velhos.secadora de roupa nao funcionava.o sistema de calefacao funcionava somente em 1 quarto sendo os outros ambientes muito frio. deixou muito a desejar.
Since our short another apartment was assigned, we can not judge THIS apartment. We lived on Central Park West, 91st Street, no. 5th https://www.wimdu.com/offers/C5A0OMOE This apartment was very pretty and lovingly decorated and very clean. Positive was that we were able to open the window at night, as the building was located in a quiet side street. And we felt very comfortable and safe, especially also because to 1.00 clock at night was always a doorman at the entrance to the house present. Let into the house was only he who was known to him. From 1.00 clock at night, the front door could only be opened with a security key. Only the tiles in the bathroom seem to be a bit older. Otherwise, we would not hesitate to stay there again. The location was perfect! Right on Central Park, that is 2 minutes, and we were in the countryside. Even the subway was only 5 minutes away. What did not work was the TV and was also - despite emails and phone calls - not repaired during the 5 days stay. But who needs a TV when you're in NY ....
Da uns kurzfristig eine andere Wohnung zugeteilt wurde, können wir DIESE Wohnung nicht beurteilen. Wir wohnten am Central Park West, 91st Street, No. 5. https://www.wimdu.com/offers/C5A0OMOE
Diese Wohnung war sehr hübsch und liebevoll eingerichtet und auch sehr sauber. Positiv war auch, dass wir nachts das Fenster öffnen konnten, da das Gebäude in einer ruhigen Seitengasse lag.
Wir fühlten und sehr wohl und sicher, vorallem auch, weil bis 1.00 Uhr nachts immer ein Doorman beim Eingang zum Haus präsent war. Ins Haus gelassen wurde nur wer ihm bekannt war. Ab 1.00 Uhr nachts konnte die Eingangstüre nur mit einem Sicherheitsschlüssel geöffnet werden.
Einzig die Fliesen im Badezimmer scheinen schon etwas älter zu sein. Ansonsten würden wir jederzeit wieder dort wohnen.
Die Lage war perfekt! Direkt am Central Park, sprich 2 Minuten und wir waren im Grünen. Auch die Subway war nur 5 Gehminuten entfernt.
Was nicht funktioniert hat, war der TV und wurde auch - trotz Mails und Telefonaten - während den 5 Tagen Aufenthalt nicht repariert. Aber wer braucht schon einen TV wenn man in NY ist....
was very pleased with appartment....was first time i used site and will be using again...have recommended to my family in ireland...
Apartment is small but clean. The bathroom is very small. Otherwise parts as described above. Very well located, as at the end of the street is 18th Street Subway. We were three of us and the place was adequate. For 4 people, it is rather too small.
Apartment ist klein, aber sauber. Das Badezimmer ist sehr klein. Ansonsten Ausstattung wie beschrieben. Sehr gut gelegen, da am Ende der Straße Subway 18th Street ist. Wir waren zu dritt und der Platz war ausreichend. Für 4 Personen ist es eher zu klein.
Very nice en cute apartment. Good location and clean.
The only thing is that the apartment is on the 4th floor with no elevator, the hall smells bad. We had to pick up the key in there office, (10 min from the ap) but when we left home we could drop our bags over there. So that gave us more time to spend in the City. I would recommend this place!
Great location close to Time Square and Port Authority Bus Terminal. Very clean and exactly as described. However would benefit from replacing the mattress on the sofa bed as this was dreadful - every spring pressing into you as you attempted to sleep, ended up sleeping on the couch (!) - pretty disappointing.
Would also benefit from providing additional towels for extended stays - we stayed 8 days and only had a towel each provided.
We were offered alternative accommodation because this one had just be reserved. So we agreed 4x2wka4 great housing 1 bedroom near Timesquare for4 people. The only good thing is location lq. It is absolutely impossible to sleep in the room: light + + + + + + and noise + + + + + + + + + + + + +, as if you were on a balcony above a highway. The development efforts of the show is not enough to compensate for the room.
On nous a proposé un autre logement car celui ci venait juste d être réservé . Nous avons donc accepté le logement 4x2wka4 great 1 bedroom near timesquare for4 people . Le seul point positif est lq localisation. Il est absolument impossible de dormir dans la chambre : lumière ++++++ et bruit +++++++++++++, comme si vous étiez sur un balcon au dessus d une autoroute . Les efforts d aménagement du salon ne suffisent pas à compenser la chambre .
Lovely apartment, fantastic location. Wasnt sure why they felt they had to charge me an extra 150 dollars for the loan of a cot but i would definitely stay there again.
The renovation of the apartment is well done. All the rooms are clean as well. The bathroom is very small. The bedroom in the front is big enough, but too noisy because of the traffic just outside. The second bedroom is small, but ok. The neighbours upstairs had a wild party until 4.30 am on Saturday night. Sleeping was impossible.
Apartment received as described. Subway is within walking distance in 4-5min, CVS store, Starbucks, Subway (sandwich) everything. Near or in the same house Provider: Key collection and check out everything works smoothly and tiptop! Everything happens very quickly.

By LOGAN NEILL
Published March 9, 2007
Dale Crider has often been heralded as the melodic voice of Florida's conscience. He has spent the better part of the past four decades as a clarion of justice to creatures that have no voice of their own.
Long before Jimmy Buffett latched himself to a cause, Crider sang of the perils of the Florida manatee. He has tunefully admonished the state's environmental agencies for forsaking natural treasures to appease developers and the tourist trade. And he continues to thoughtfully remind folks of the preciousness of wild things - even the ones they don't particularly care for - and how their quality of life would quickly erode without them.
It's music with a message. And a mission, says Crider. He credits the late Will McLean, his close friend of more than 25 years, with inspiring him to write about what impassions him.
"Will believed that music reached people in a way that no other form of communication could," Crider said by phone from his home on Newnan's Lake in Alachua County. "Through his songs, you find a Florida that few people even knew once existed. He gave you a romantic connection that you weren't going to find anywhere else And it may be the only way we'll be able to pass it on."
As he has for 17 years, Crider will be among the headliners at this weekend's Will McLean Music Festival. It's an honor that the 66-year-old folk singer holds dear.
"Whenever I go, I'm reminded of how much Will would have appreciated the sentiment," Crider said. "As a songwriter he appreciated the craft and what it took to write an original song. To know that he still inspires others would have brought him great pride."
Crider, who first met McLean at the 1963 White Springs Folk Festival, said "Florida's Black Hat Troubadour" cut an impressive figure.
"He drove up in a big black hearse and stepped out and was surrounded by a throng of admirers," Crider recalled. "When he was on the stage, you could hear a pin drop."
At the time, Crider was working as a biologist for the Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission. On weekends he would grab his guitar and head for any place where folk musicians would gather. His frequent encounters with McLean soon made them fast friends.
Through the 1960s and '70s, McLean would inspire others to write Florida songs as well. Along with Crider, troubadours Gamble Rogers, Jim Ballew and Don Grooms would emerge as stars of the Sunshine State's burgeoning music scene.
By 1975, Crider had amassed enough original songs to record an album. He asked McLean if he could also use a couple of his.
"Most of my music is done in bluegrass style," Crider said. "Will was a bit surprised to hear Hold Back the Waters and Wild Hog done in faster time than he did them. But in the end he was okay with it."
At the urging of his agency bosses, Crider went on to assume a role as an environmental spokesman for the state. He performed at schools and fairs and made the rounds of afternoon TV talk and variety shows throughout Florida. He and his former wife, Linda, recorded several albums of original music and collaborated on a well-received book and tape compilation, Water Songs.
Throughout the last years of his life, McLean's struggle with personal problems pulled him further from his music. Crider tried to keep him encouraged, but it was a tough bid.
"I would invite him to stay with me so that he could get some rest and hopefully get inspired to write, but it never lasted very long," Crider said. "Will was very stubborn when it came to doing what was best for himself."
McLean's death in 1990 and the subsequent passing of Rogers, Ballew and Grooms in the 1990s left Crider the lone survivor of Florida folk music's first generation. Though retired from the state job for 11 years, Crider has continued to be an environmental activist and an adviser with several watchdog groups.
Two years ago, Crider completed work on Watersongs and Waterways, a 20-song compilation distributed by his Web site, anhingaroost.net. The collection, which has many of Crider's well-known songs, includes Appalachicola Doin' Time, which was chosen as the title track for an award-winning environmental film by WUFT-TV.
"I feel honored when people tell that my music has helped them to better appreciate the beauty of our state," Crider said. "There's still plenty of work left to be done, and plenty of songs that need to be written."

This is the second article in a series by our public relations intern, Evie. She's new to Girl Scouting, and as she participates in different Girl Scout activities, she'll share her fresh perspective with us. Evie is an unpaid intern, and this her last class before she graduates from Auburn University in August. We appreciate all that Evie (pictured with a camper) is doing for Girl Scouts of Southern Alabama.
I've been interning with Girl Scouts of Southern Alabama for five weeks now and already I feel like part of the team. I wonder if they would make me a special Internship badge?
I have begun traveling to Kamp Kiwanis in Eclectic every Monday to take pictures and videotape the campers. So far, I have been to the first three camp sessions and I went before camp officially started to interview a few of the counselors. Everyone is so nice and accepting, and I've already been coined with a camp nickname, "Chevy."
At first I was nervous about going to Kamp Kiwanis. How was I going to find my way around this place I had never been to? How were these girls going to react to some stranger taking their picture? But the girls were great! They didn't mind at all and fortunately some of them became hams and posed for me.
I have loved watching these young girls learn how to canoe and learn new swim strokes because it has been a long time since I have done anything like that.
I traveled to Camp Scoutshire Woods in Citronelle, Ala. last week to record some videos there and loved it. It is a little different than Kiwanis, for example, there is no air conditioning! But other than swimming and canoeing, Scoutshire has a stable with horses that the girls ride every day. The best part about my visit to Camp Scoutshire was that I got to go "creek stompin'" with a group of girls. I learned about the surrounding wildlife and was eaten up by mosquitoes.
I am excited about going back and also about traveling to Camp Sid Edmonds. My internship is half-over and I feel like I've just begun!

If an animal bites you or your child, follow these guidelines:
Doctors recommend getting a tetanus shot every 10 years. If your last one was more than five years ago and your wound is deep or dirty, your doctor may recommend a booster. Get the booster as soon as possible after the injury.
Domestic pets cause most animal bites. Dogs are more likely to bite than cats. Cat bites, however, are more likely to cause infection because they are usually puncture wounds and can't be thoroughly cleaned. Bites from nonimmunized domestic animals and wild animals carry the risk of rabies. Rabies is more common in bats, raccoons, skunks and foxes than in cats and dogs. Rabbits, squirrels and other rodents rarely carry rabies.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that children or adults exposed to bats, or who are sleeping and discover bats present, seek medical advice, even if they don't think they've been bitten. This is because bat bite marks can be hard to see.
You have questions about your risk of rabies or about rabies prevention. If the bite was caused by a cat or a dog, try to confirm that its rabies vaccination is up to date. If the bite was caused by a wild animal, seek advice from your doctor about which animals are most likely to carry rabies.
Bats often carry rabies. And people have been infected without obvious signs of a bite. This is why the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that people in contact with bats — or even those who are sleeping and awaken to find a bat in the bedroom — seek medical advice about rabies shots, even if they don't think they've been bitten.

Marshall girls struggle to contend with Mankato East's size, fall in 2AAA semis
ST. PETER – Even before for the start of the 2012-13 girls' basketball season, Marshall head coach Dan Westby could see a road block ahead.
In tabbing Mankato East as the favorite in the section, he said it would be difficult for his Tigers to match up with the Cougars due to their size and said his team would have to try to find other ways to score.
The Tigers were unable to break through that barricade Saturday, as a much larger Mankato East squad dominated the low post and disrupted Marshall's offense with its length on its way to a 53-46 victory in the Section 2AAA semifinals at Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter.
Five-foot-10 forward Claire Ziegler had her way under the basket, pouring in a game-high 28 points to lead the fifth-ranked and second-seeded Cougars to the win. Mankato East (23-4 overall)?will face top seed New Prague at 7 p.m. Thursday back in St. Peter.
The Tigers, who are ranked fourth in the state and were the third seed in the tournament, end their year with a 24-4 record after having their 11-game winning streak snapped.
Marshall sports just one rotation player, junior forward Kenzie Beekman, who stands 5-10 or taller. Mankato East has five such players. Fighting from behind the whole game, the Tigers managed to stay within striking distance but could never break through and put a run together that would have allowed them to get ahead.
"I think their size gives everybody problems, not just us. It certainly gave us problems tonight," said Westby, whose squad also fell to the Cougars 69-61 on Dec. 22. "We never had a lead in the game. There were a number of times we got it down to one, but we never were able to get a lead and I think had that happened things maybe would have gone differently. We had opportunities to get leads but we just couldn't get it done."
Beekman scored on a putback to tie the game at 8-8 in the oppening minutes before Mankato East went on an 11-2 run to grab momentum. Ziegler scored a bucket off an offensive rebound and had a three-point play during the run, while teammates Marta Anderson and Taylor Karge, a 6-foot forward, each drained a 3-pointer.
Marshall 5-9 senior forward Sarah Andersen drew the tough task trying to defend Ziegler. She fought hard for position but was unable to do much to slow down the more powerful Ziegler, who scored 13 points in the first half and 15 in the second half.
Anderson also battled on boards, grabbing 12 rebounds, and on the offensive end. She scored eight of her 10 points in the first half as she tried to help her squad back into the game. She hit a pull-up jumper with 17 seconds left in the half to tie the game at 30-30. It was the final time Marshall managed to pull even with the Cougars. Ziegler scored another bucket in the paint with three seconds remaining to give Mankato East the lead going into the locker room.
It was a difficult for Marshall to score against Mankato East's zone defense all game. The Cougars' length and size made passing lanes harder to find and points in the paint difficult to come by. Marshall finished with just seven assists in the game and lacked the ball movement Westby was looking for.
"I thought we stood around too much versus their zone," Westby said. "We've been good at that this year, we've been good at moving the ball and not standing and holding the ball, finding the player and making the extra pass, and we didn't do that tonight.
"We were hoping that we could maybe force the tempo a bit, but I think their zone slowed us down," he added. "We would get a rebound but then they'd hustle back into their zone and we were never able to get anything off the break as a result."
Senior guard Kelsey Saugstad found success shooting over the top of the Cougars' zone. She hit four 3-pointers on her way to scoring a team-high 18 points in her final game in a Tiger uniform.
After Ziegler scored another two points in the paint to put her team up 46-40 with nine minutes left, Saugstad hit a 3 to get the Tigers within a possession. Niether team scored again until the 5:14 mark when Beekman, who had eight points and 11 boards, split a pair of free throws after getting fouled grabbing an offensive rebound. Marshall scored just two more points the rest of the way.
Westby said he felt the difference in the game, other than Marshall's lack of size, came down to three things. The first was allowing the Cougars to get fast break points in the first half as they built an early lead, the second was missing free throws at inopportune times (Marshall finished 8-for-14 for the game), and the third was Marshall's lack of movement against Mankato East's zone defense.
With three state-ranked teams in the section, it was a hard road for the Tigers to try to get to state and they met a better team on Saturday. Marshall will have to try again next year without Andersen and Saugstad, two players Westby said have been invaluable to his team.
"Sarah, she drew a tough assignment every night and was always guarding someone four or five inches taller than her. Throughout the season she really did a nice job inside for us, especially defensively," he said. "Kelsey, we're certainly going to miss her ability to score from the outside and what she can do for us. Somebody is going to have to step up and make some improvements over the summer so they can absorb those minutes that we're going to miss from those kids."

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
With "Milk," a
great San Francisco story becomes a great American story.
Director Gus
Van Sant uses the account of one of the country's first openly gay
public officials, who was assassinated in 1978, to invest the gay
rights movement with mythic grandeur, as a successor to all the heroic
social protest movements in American history. Van Sant's point of view
may be a matter of politics, outside the scope of a review, but his
success in putting over his point of view is a question of art.
For more than two lively, eventful hours, "Milk"
conforms to many of the conventions of biographical filmmaking, if not
always to the precise details of the hero's biography. Milk's
inexhaustible political commitment takes its toll on his relationships,
first with Scott and then with Jack Lira, an impulsive, unstable young
man played by Diego
Luna with an operatic verve that stops just short of camp.
Dan White, Milk's erstwhile colleague and eventual
assassin, haunts the edges of the movie, representing both the banality
and the enigma of evil. Mr. Brolin makes him seem at once pitiable and
scary without making him look like a monster or a clown. Motives for
White's crime are suggested in the film, but too neat an accounting of
them would distort the awful truth of the story and undermine the power
of the movie.
That power lies in its uncanny balancing of nuance and
scale, its ability to be about nearly everything — love, death,
politics, sex, modernity — without losing sight of the intimate
particulars of its story. Harvey Milk was an intriguing, inspiring
figure. "Milk" is a marvel.

Jamestown Native Killed In Nevada Explosion
Among the seven U.S. Marines who were killed in a live-fire training exercise explosion in Nevada on Monday night was Jamestown-born Lance Cpl. Mason J. Vanderwork, 21, the son of Melissa Vanderwork, 38, of Hickory, N.C.
Mason was born in WCA Hospital. He was the son of Melissa and Kevin Hallberg, of Jamestown. Melissa graduated from Jamestown High School before moving to Hickory, to be reunited with her father. Mason was about 4 years old when Melissa made the move. He graduated from St. Stephens High School in 2010, and was ready to join the Marines the day after graduation. One of Melissa's fondest memories of Mason was when he graduated from high school, she said.
According to Melissa, it was one of Mason's goals to enter the Marines, and he had already taken his pre-courses before he graduated.
"He did it for me and his sister, (Katelyn McMahan, 11)," Melissa told The Post-Journal. "I wanted to go into service when I graduated high school, but I had Mason at a young age and I would have had to give up custody in order for me to go in. I chose not to do that and to raise him by myself. I think I did a pretty good job."
In addition to Mason's love for the Marines, he also enjoyed the beach and was a fish in the water, said Melissa. He loved cars, and from the age of 12 had a dream of someday owning a Ford Cobra, which he purchased shortly before the accident.
"When he got back from Afghanistan he finally got his Ford Cobra," said Melissa. "He said to me, 'See, I told ya Mom,' and I said, 'I know, I'm proud of you because you've turned out to be the man that you are.'"
Mason married Taylor Vanderwork in June, and he was deployed for the majority of their marriage, said Melissa.
"She never really got a chance to get to know him – but, they both loved each other," said Melissa.
Mason's uncle, DaWayne Vanderwork, of Lakewood, got the news about Mason on Tuesday and decided to drive down to Hickory with his stepfather, Terry Vanderwork, of Clymer. DaWayne remembers his nephew as being an exciting, strong, smart and loving kid, he said.
"He didn't have time to enjoy his high school graduation or anything – that's how dedicated Mason was to being a Marine," said DaWayne. "We were all very proud of Mason, whether it was when he was serving in Afghanistan or if he was home. Even if he wouldn't have been in the military we still would have been proud of him. He graduated high school and was doing the best he could to take care of his mother and his sister. He was also recently married and took on that responsibility of having a wife. He wanted to start a family, and settle down to start another chapter of his life."
Mason served in the Marines for three years. He completed two tours, one in Afghanistan and another in Kuwait. He was waiting on his third deployment when the accident occurred.
According to DaWayne, the family has been told it could take up to three years to find out the details regarding the accident, but he wants to know why and what exactly happened, he said.
"Obviously you fear for somebody's life when they go across seas to war, but not when you come back and you're doing training exercises," said DaWayne. "It was an accident, and nobody meant for it to happen. But, you don't think anything when he is home and working. So, we want to find out why and how this can be prevented to make sure other families don't have to go through this tragedy."
According to The Associated Press, the explosion Monday caused an immediate suspension of the use of 60 mm mortars by the Marine Corps, with an exemption for troops in Afghanistan..
The family has been assigned a sergeant of the Marine Corps for counseling and informational purposes.
"I'm very proud of my son," said Melissa. "He was one of a kind, and was my everything. He knew he was momma's boy."

Los Alamos National Laboratory
Bradbury Science Museum celebrates its 50th anniversary
- Steve Sandoval
- Communications Office
- (505) 665-9206
Public reception scheduled Dec. 11
LOS ALAMOS, N.M., Dec. 9, 2013—This year has been one of milestones for Los Alamos National Laboratory, including for its Bradbury Science Museum. To mark the museum's 50th anniversary, the museum will host a reception open to the public from 4 to 6 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 11.
"For 50 years, the Bradbury Science Museum's mission has been to foster enthusiasm and support for science and engineering, and a better understanding of the mission and work of the Laboratory," said Linda Deck, Bradbury Museum director. "We've had such great support from the Laboratory and the community and we look forward to working with both of them in the future."
The museum was originally founded in 1954 by Robert Krohn, but was a classified museum when it first opened. In 1963 Robert Porton convinced then Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory Director Norris Bradbury to open the unclassified museum. The museum moved to its present location in 1993.
At the reception, Katy Korkos from the Los Alamos County Chamber of Commerce will talk about the importance of having the museum in its downtown location and what it does for the community and local businesses. Glenn McDuff, of the Laboratory's Surety Systems Engineering group, will share a few anecdotes about how he has acquired artifacts for the museum. A short interview with Krohn, who was the first museum director, also will be shown.
Attendees will be able to view historic images of the Bradbury Science Museum, and changes to it throughout the decades, and see the chair used by Los Alamos' first director, J. Robert Oppenheimer. The reception will be a social opportunity in which the community can reflect on what the museum has meant to them in the past and today. Light refreshments will be served.
About the Bradbury Science Museum
All events at the Bradbury Science Museum are free and open to the public. Bradbury Science Museum is located at 1350 Central Ave., in downtown Los Alamos. Museum hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday and 1 to 5 p.m., Sunday and Monday.
Mensa, an internationally recognized high-IQ society, named the Bradbury Science museum as one of the top 10 "Favorite Science Museums."

Were they in the pines, roosted? Pines do provide some shelter from extreme weather. I did push 13 ruffed grouse from out of a small patch of pines after a cold snap dropped the temp one night to -25 deg. F. The ground sloped SE with a wind from the NW -so they were also out of the wind.

I've seen woodies in the oak trees at my farm but when we get the black belly whistling ducks in they're worse than turkeys. Those things will stack up in the trees 10-20. I've seen black ducks land on power lines to try and roost at the coast. Ducks do some weird stuff bud haha.

I don't know but last summer I saw three mallards sitting up on a wide branch of a maple tree. I double checked to make sure they were mallards because I couldn't believe my eyes.

Wood ducks are perching ducks. We also hunt them in the Pine Barrens here in NJ. They feed in the bogs, but it is weird there was no obvious food source.

I've worked on conservation projects and helped maintain wood duck boxes. They like to brood in naturally occuring holes in trees but wood duck boxes on poles work too. They have strong claws to help them with perching in trees and grip bark that most duck species dont have. Their fav habitat is flooded trees right along streams or rivers. They really are a unique species. (Have my bachelors in wildlife management)

John Maloney Erie, ON
Mr. Speaker, I have the honour to present in both official languages the report of the Canadian delegation to the seventh annual meeting of the Canada-Japan Interparliamentary Group which was held in Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa from September 1 to September 5, 1996, as well as the report of the executive committee meeting of the Asia-Pacific Parliamentary Forum held in Ottawa from September 6 to September 8, 1996.
The Asia-Pacific region is becoming increasingly important in Canada. Japan is now our second largest trading partner. Asia has become Canada's second most important trading region.
The recently completed seventh annual Canada-Japan meeting focused on our growing and harmonious bilateral relationship. Discussions focused on bilateral and multilateral co-operation in a rapidly changing world. Relations with our other Asia-Pacific neighbours are also changing.
Canada will be hosting the fifth annual meeting of the Asia-Pacific Parliamentary Forum in January in Vancouver. The executive committee of the APPF just held a highly successful and productive meeting here in Ottawa and approved the arrangements for the Vancouver meeting. We look forward to hosting this meeting and to kicking off Canada's year of Asia-Pacific.

Mr. Speaker, I have the honour to present the 33rd report of the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs regarding the membership and associate membership of some committees.
If the House gives its consent, I move that the 33rd report of the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs be concurred in.
(Motion agreed to.)
Routine Proceedings
10:05 a.m.
Maurizio Bevilacqua York North, ON
Mr. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 36, I am pleased to present to the House three petitions which focus on Canada's economy, signed by the residents of York North.
The first petition draws the attention of the House to the government's red book commitment to reduce the deficit to 3 per cent of the GDP. The petitioners call upon Parliament to continue to keep its commitment to Canadians and pursue its deficit action so that the government will reach its revised deficit target of 2 per cent of GDP by 1997-98.
Routine Proceedings
10:05 a.m.
Maurizio Bevilacqua York North, ON
Mr. Speaker, the second petition draws to the attention of the House that in the past year alone short term interest rates have declined three percentage points. For the last two and a half years inflation has averaged less than 2 per cent and by 1997-98 the federal deficit will have been
reduced by $25 billion. The petitioners further draw to the attention of the House that since the Liberal government took office, over 600,000 jobs have been created.
The petitioners therefore call upon Parliament to work diligently to continue to maintain a healthy environment for jobs and economic growth.
Routine Proceedings
10:05 a.m.
Maurizio Bevilacqua York North, ON
Mr. Speaker, the final petition draws to the attention of the House the important role that small businesses play in our economy. They have created over 85 per cent of new jobs and account for almost 60 per cent of Canada's economic output.
The petitioners further draw to the attention of the House that the government is improving the climate for small businesses by addressing the need for financing, reducing overlap and duplication, increasing access to the information highway and assisting their ventures into exports.
The petitioners call upon Parliament to continue to create a healthy environment for small businesses, to ensure they have the financing they need and to help them explore and capitalize on new opportunities.
Routine Proceedings

Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to present two petitions today pursuant to Standing Order 36.
These petitions implore Parliament to introduce legislation which would prohibit criminals from profiting in any way from the crimes which they have undertaken.
Routine Proceedings
10:05 a.m.
Paul Szabo Mississauga South, ON
Mr. Speaker, I have two petitions today.
The first one concerning taxation of the family comes from Calgary, Alberta. The petitioners would like to draw to the attention of the House that managing the family home and caring for preschool children is an honourable profession which has not been recognized for its value to our society.
The petitioners therefore pray and call upon Parliament to pursue initiatives to eliminate tax discrimination against families who choose to provide care in the home to preschool children, the chronically ill, the aged or the disabled.
Routine Proceedings
10:05 a.m.
Paul Szabo Mississauga South, ON
Mr. Speaker, the second petition comes from Midland, Ontario and concerns labelling of alcoholic beverages.
The petitioners would like to draw to the attention of the House that the consumption of alcoholic beverages may cause health problems or impair one's ability. Specifically, fetal alcohol syndrome or other alcohol related birth defects are 100 per cent preventable by avoiding alcohol consumption during pregnancy.
The petitioners therefore pray and call upon Parliament to enact legislation to require health warning labels to be placed on the containers of all alcoholic beverages to caution expectant mothers and others of the risks associated with alcohol consumption.

Prince Albert—Churchill River
Gordon Kirkby Parliamentary Secretary to Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased today to speak in favour of the act to amend the Divorce Act and other acts. Before I get into the details of the amendments I would first like to provide a broader context for the changes.
There is a yearning in Canada today to focus on what we have in common and to return to basic values. Canadians do have values in common. We have not prevailed for 130 years and produced one of the world's most prosperous and successful nations without a foundation of shared principles and beliefs. When we set aside the quarrels about jurisdiction and the forms of the federation, and when we focus on the features that define us as a nation, we will find that what is common to every province and to every region of Canada is our shared values.
We are a society that is compassionate, tolerant and civil. We take pride in social programs that are intended to protect the most vulnerable. We care deeply about our commitment to sharing. These values are reflected in the way we treat our children.
Canadians understand the importance of early intervention of safe and secure childhoods if we are to enable all individuals to
reach their full potential. Canadians also place a strong emphasis on the importance of individual responsibility while governments have a role in helping the most vulnerable. We also believe in people taking responsibility for themselves.
How do these values relate to our strategy for child support? They require laws and policies that produce adequate and consistent child support levels, that respect fathers and mothers who make their payments and ensure that those who are obligated to pay actually do so. Viewed from that perspective, I suggest that the measures we have proposed in our child support strategy very much reflect the fundamental values that unite us.
The starting point is that the nature of the Canadian family is changing. There are more single parent families today than ever. When families divide, there are two households to support and fewer resources to go around and too often the children suffer. Over the past 20 years families headed by an individual parent have doubled in number. There are almost one million such families in Canada. In 1990, 61 per cent of single parent families headed by women lived below the poverty line. This compares to just 10 per cent of two parent families with children.
The steps we are taking to strengthen and improve Canada's child support system will not end child poverty, but we believe these steps will help. These measures derive their value from the shared principles on which they are based.
The principle that children should be first in line. These reforms will put them there and keep them there. Child support is the first and most important obligation for parents.
The principle that a child's standard of living, both before and after divorce, should reflect the means of both parents. These reforms make sure that it does. Children are a shared responsibility and a divorce does not change that.
The principle that people in like circumstances should be treated in a like fashion. These reforms will ensure that they are. Both parents have an obligation to support their children based on their ability to pay.
The strategy we have adopted has four interdependent elements. One, we are introducing child support guidelines to establish appropriate and consistent support levels, and to reduce the degree of conflict between separating parents. Two, we are changing the way child support payments are taxed to make things fairer and simpler. Three, we are enhancing federal and provincial enforcement measures targeting the wilful defaulters to ensure that payments are made in time and in full. Four, we are helping working poor families by doubling the level of the working income supplement of the federal child tax benefit over the next two years. I would like to describe each of these initiatives in more detail.
At the heart of this approach are the guidelines that will be used across Canada by the courts, by lawyers and by parents to establish appropriate levels of support payments for children. At present, courts determine child support levels on a case by case basis. The issue prolongs litigation and adds to the anguish of the parents. Some suggest that the system is based on the principle that every person deserves his or her decade in court. Not all judges take the same approach or have the same philosophy. As a result, levels vary greatly not just across Canada but even within provincial jurisdictions and even from family to family.
The amount that is available to pay for a child's needs should not depend on which province one lives in, to which courtroom the case is assigned or which party has the more persuasive lawyer. The guidelines will establish without the need for trial the levels of child support to be paid according to the income of the person paying. The amounts are calculated by a formula that takes into account average expenditures on children at various income levels. As income levels increase or decrease so will the parents' contributions to the needs of the children, just as they would if the family had remained together.
The guidelines are standard but they are also flexible. No two families are exactly alike. Exceptional expenses for children can be added, such as uninsured medical expenses and child care costs for preschoolers. A court can also change the amounts if undue hardship can be established.
This approach has tremendous strengths. It is simple and it is standard. It ensures that support paying parents with the same level of income pay the same level of child support as other parents. It is also easy to use and in the end it is easy to understand. There will be less reasons for parents to argue about what is and what is not an appropriate level of support. This means less conflict, lower legal bills, reduced legal aid and diminished court costs. The result is that a lot of money which would be spent on lawyers in courts can be kept in the hands of the parents for the benefit of the children.
The second pillar of our child support strategy is a change in the way child support payments are taxed. Currently child support payments are tax deductible for the payer and taxable to the recipient. That rule was put in place 54 years ago. After carefully considering all of the circumstances we have concluded that this approach is unfair and indeed outdated.
To begin with in the present age it is understood that parents do not need an incentive or a reward in the tax system to encourage them to pay support for their children or that a general subsidy by
all taxpayers toward families that are separated and divorced is not appropriate.
In any event the subsidy works best where there is a large income spread between the mother and father which is less and less common. Shifting income patterns have brought their earnings closer together. Where a mother earns the same as or more than the support paying father, the present system actually penalizes her. That is the case in over one-third of all separated couples and that proportion is growing. Even when the incomes are different the subsidy only works if the court takes care in each case to make complex calculations to gross up the amount awarded to take tax into account. This does not always happen in every case. The result is the tax liability eats into the support award and the losers are the children.
Furthermore custodial parents do not want to have to administer the tax system. They are the ones who now have to calculate the amount due and pay it on April 30 of each year whether the support payments arrive late during the year.
More fundamentally, child support is not income for the parent but it is money intended for the children. It therefore should not be taxed in the hands of the recipient.
The reforms will change the system. We are adopting what is known as a no deduction, no inclusion system. That means support paying parents will not be able to deduct their payments from their total income and custodial parents will not be required to include it in theirs. This no deduction, no inclusion approach will not come into effect until May 1, 1997 and it will apply to all new awards made after that date. It will not apply after that date to existing awards unless the parties agree or unless the court directs that the change be made.
We are waiting 14 months before making this change effective for very practical reasons. We want the tax change and the guidelines to become effective at the same time. That way if parties to existing orders want to change their tax treatment the new child support levels can be taken directly from the tables without the need for individual assessment in each case.
We anticipate that the provinces will create complementary guidelines to cover child support levels in cases under provincial jurisdiction so that the systems are uniform. The 14 months will enable them to do that.
Finally, the time will be used in planning for the transition. Ottawa has budgeted $50 million to help the provinces develop simple and effective systems for dealing with the many requests that may be made to varied existing orders once the changes become effective.
In the coming months governments, courts, professionals and other stakeholders will work together so that these cases are dealt with quickly and effectively. The current tax system has been in place for 50 years. I do not think it is unreasonable that we take 14 months to achieve a complete reversal.
Let me address the concerns that have been expressed by some fathers about these changes. First, parents who now have child support orders or agreements will not be forced into a new tax system. Both parents may decide for a number of reasons that their support agreement is working reasonably well and should be left alone.
Second, let me encourage parents to examine the guidelines that we have now published and consider how they may apply to their situations. They are the result of many years of consultations across Canada and they take into account tax levels and average expenses for raising children. The guidelines have been tested not only with family lawyers but with fathers and mothers, both custodial and non-custodial parents.
Third, there may be situations of undue hardship in which the payment in accordance with the guidelines would simply be unrealistic or unworkable. We recognize that cases of hardship do exist and the new process can accommodate those situations.
Finally, we are committed to monitoring these guidelines and if necessary they will be adjusted. Let me restate that in evaluating amounts our eye will remain fixed on the welfare and needs of the children. I think we can all agree on this objective. Of course a fair child support system is more than just setting levels evenly and taxing them fairly. It is also a matter of ensuring that payments are made in full and on time. Enforcement is crucial.
Let me make it clear that a great many parents who make their payments on time and in full deserve our continued respect. They take their responsibilities seriously and they follow through. There are some who cannot pay because of misfortune: they have lost their job, they have fallen ill. They must ask the court to relieve them of their responsibility that they cannot meet. However, there are also too many who are in wilful default.
As of last September almost half of the cases registered with the Ontario family support plan involved child support orders where absolutely no money had been paid. On the remaining half, only one in four was fully paid.
Wilful and chronic default by people who can pay but refuse to pay child support is simply unacceptable in this country. These are not just people who turn their backs on their sons and daughters, they are also walking away from their responsibility as citizens and because they cheat their children all other Canadians are obligated to take up the slack.
The prime responsibility for enforcement of child support orders currently rests with the provinces. A lot has already been done by the provincial agencies but the Canadian government also has a role to play, a role of leadership in co-ordinating, encouraging and complementing the provincial efforts.
The measures we are proposing will support and enhance the strategies of provincial and territorial governments. We want to work with them in a common cause. There is a list of measures that we will now take. Let me mention just a few of them.
Federal legislation will authorize the suspension of federal licences and certificates such as passports in the cases of persistent default. It will allow access by the provinces to the database of Revenue Canada to help trace persistent defaulters. It will invest money and effort in upgrading computer systems to share information among provinces to co-ordinate their efforts.
The fourth pillar in the child support strategy involves a measure that is intended to help working poor families whether they are separated or still living together. The Canadian government contributes to basic income security for children through a child tax benefit.
One component of that benefit is the working income supplement which provides a non-taxable benefit to supplement the employment earnings of families with net incomes below $25,900. At present, the maximum amount that is payable under the working income supplement is $500 per family each year. Over the next two years the Canadian government will double that supplement to $1,000 per family each year.
The revenue derived from ending the deduction on child support payments will be used to fund the increase in the working income supplement. The result will be that over the next five years over $1 billion of additional revenue will be put into the hands of about 700,000 low income families in the labour force. About one-third of them will be lone parent families.
The advantages of this strategy are obvious. The increased working income supplement is tax free and will go right to the bottom line for families that need dollars for their children. This supplement is distributed fairly, benefiting children of separated families and families that remain intact. And the working income supplement is targeted to those most in need.
What will make these reforms work well is that they will work together. Guidelines will ensure consistent awards at appropriate levels with diminished conflict and expense.
A tax rule that reflects the social conditions and values of 1942 will be changed to conform to current needs and trends. Effective tools will enhance enforcement so that good people who make their payments will know that those in wilful default will be pursued. Every dollar of increased revenue that Ottawa derives from the tax change will be ploughed directly back into a system for the benefit of children in low income working families.
I invite the support of members of the House and their involvement in making this strategy succeed. Working together, Canadians can put children first. The government will put children first. It will put responsibility fairly on the shoulders of parents and and make our system of child support one of which we can all be proud.

Security At St. Lawrence-FDR Project Enhanced; New Hawkins Point Visitors Center Planned
May 24, 2002
MASSENA—The New York Power Authority will restrict public access to the St. Lawrence-Franklin D. Roosevelt Power Project facilities on Barnhart Island—including the popular visitors center—to assure the safety of the public and its staff members as well as the vital facilities located there.
"Damage to our facilities from any kind of attack could have disastrous long-term consequences, especially regarding our ability to serve Alcoa and General Motors," said Randy Crissman, the Power Authority's regional manager for Northern New York. "Losing their electricity for even a short time would be devastating to the industries and the jobs they provide."
Ernie LaBaff, president emeritus of the Aluminum, Brick and Glass Workers International Union, said, "In the world we live in today, we must take extraordinary precautions to protect our way of life. We fully support the Power Authority's decision to restrict access in order to insure the integrity of the St. Lawrence-FDR Project and guarantee that Massena's vital industries continue to have a secure supply of electricity."
Crissman said, "The Power Authority has conducted a thorough security analysis of its facilities statewide. As a result of this assessment and the continued threat of terrorism and random acts of violence, we are permanently restricting public access beyond the security checkpoint on the plant access road."
In addition to the power dam itself and the visitors center, the restricted area contains the project's switchyard and the transmission lines that transport electricity out from the plant.
The Power Authority plans to construct a new visitors center at Hawkins Point, which has an outstanding view of the entire power dam.
In the meantime, the current visitors center will remain closed except to school groups, who may continue to visit by reservation only. The Power Authority will set up a temporary exhibit in the St. Lawrence Seaway visitors center at the Eisenhower Lock. It will feature a movie describing the power project. Visitors will be encouraged to go to Hawkins Point for a panoramic view of the power dam.
Sandy Cooke, supervisor of the Town of Massena, said, "Tourism is vitally important to our economy and a new visitors center at Hawkins Point will certainly make that whole area a more important tourist destination. The new center would be added to the existing attractions at the Seaway's Eisenhower Lock and the Robert Moses State Park as well as the new aquarium at Robinsons Bay and some new ideas we have in mind for Massena Point."
"Naturally, from a tourism perspective, we're disappointed that the Power Authority is keeping the current visitors center closed, but we certainly understand the need to protect the St. Lawrence Project," said Paul Haggett, executive director of the Massena Chamber of Commerce. "Hawkins Point is an ideal site for a new center and I'm glad the Power Authority is committed to putting it there."
The sentiment was echoed by Karen St. Hilare, executive director of the St. Lawrence County Chamber of Commerce. "We never like to see one of our tourist attractions closed, but I think the Power Authority is doing the right thing and I'll be happy to see the new visitors center at Hawkins Point."

An alternative method that produces quality results
The best way to center a hinge screw hole is with a self-centering bit. But if you don�t have one (or can�t find yours), try this tip from Gary Derzinski of Leavenworth, Kansas. Use the hinge�s screw holes as guides for a small countersink bit. Position the hinge, then bore carefully with the countersink until it just touches the sides of the hinge screw hole. The bottom point of the bored countersink should be the precise center of the screw hole. Then, use that spot as the center point for boring the pilot hole.

Elastin & Collagen Skin Toner
Posted by Reviewer1475661 on Jul 28, 2013
I WON'T BE WITHOUT THIS PRODUCT! I will be 64 years old in three months, and I have paid a lot of money on skin care. I purchased this product around a month ago, and it is now all I use except for the cream around my eyes. Makeup goes on perfectly over it. At this price, I will never be without! I purchased this because I was concerned over sagging around the jaw line and neck area. After one months use, there is a very positive difference. Yes, I WILL buy this again and again and again. I do exercise on a regular basis, and it also helps to keep my arms firm.

Reviva Labs Elastin & Collagen skin toner - great as a lotion mask
Posted by maywonginSing on Sep 22, 2013
I have used it for the past week. It is hydrating and it does not give you the sticky feeling compared with Avalon Organics' hydrating toner which leaves a sticky feeling on my face. I have read about lotion mask in Chizu Saeki's book about using a toner (usually called lotion in Japanese skincare) as a lotion mask for just a few minutes a day. It really softens the skin. The serum and moisturizer applied afterward seem to be absorbed much better. If your skin is slightly oily, I would say the Thayers toner makes a great lotion mask. Price is great and iHerb's service is always great.
A very good toner

The Hill in History
1918 Flu Pandemic Pushed Hill Toward Modern Health Care
By Deacon Lile '09
The catastrophic 1918 outbreak of the "Spanish" flu altered the course of world history, changed modern medicine and left a profound footprint on the world's population. However, the virus that caused it almost certainly did not originate in Spain, or anywhere else in Europe for that matter. Epidemiological evidence suggests that the virus first appeared in Haskell County, Kan. The disease was unlike any other flu virus in recorded history. Its victims became violently ill as the disease progressed rapidly through the body, and in many cases proved to be lethal. Un-like any other flu outbreak, it possessed an uncommon propensity to kill the healthiest and most vibrant individuals.
Scientists and historians now believe that the virus spread from Haskell County to nearby Camp Funston, from which soldiers could easily transport it all over the world. This was probably where the 1918 flu virus began its devastating journey that would eventually wreak havoc across six continents and claim as many as 100 million lives worldwide. This early outbreak also represents the first of many historical overlaps between the great influenza and World War I — inseparable events in 20th-century history. In a purely biological sense, the massive trans-Atlantic movement of troops provided thousands of vehicles to transport the virus.
The flu's rapid movement to every corner of Upstate New York in September and October 1918 is an important aspect of its overall devastation. By the end of 1918, the epidemic had caused at least 17,160 deaths among at least 386,628 cases upstate. On Oct. 9, Clinton's former health officer estimated to the Clinton Courier that there were already 200 severe cases of influenza in town and lamented the lack of effective control or treatment. Obituaries, and some local notices, suggest that at least 21 Clinton residents died of influenza. Public schools closed for two weeks; at one point Clinton's residents were asked not to use telephones unless they were dealing with a flu emergency.
The virus's mechanism of action remains somewhat mysterious, but the vast majority of researchers believe that the 1918 flu usually killed by causing an overreaction of the immune system called a cytokine storm: A cascading release of cytokines floods the body with fluids and immune defenses. In this way, the "Spanish" flu literally turned a person's immune system against itself. Because of this, healthy individuals with strong immune systems — including young adults of college age — were the most likely people to suffer a severe case. Patients commonly coughed up copious amounts of blood and bled from the ears, nose and mouth. In particularly grim cases, patients turned blue. This symptom reflected a loss of oxygen in the bloodstream as the lungs filled with liquid. Patients this sick almost invariably drowned in their own fluids.
As this killer sped toward Hamilton College in the early fall of 1918, the campus was engrossed in wartime fervor. Frederick Carlos Ferry had begun his term as College president in July 1917, amid the international chaos of World War I. Ferry had then been opposed to transforming the Hamilton campus into a training ground for student soldiers; however, by the summer of 1918, plans were in place to begin the organization of Hamilton's Student Army Training Corps (SATC). The War Department was to assume control of the college curriculum and schedule; fraternity houses were to be converted to officers' quarters. By the time students arrived on campus in September 1918, the Board of Trustees and the War Department had already enacted many of these changes. Within a month, 169 of the 243 students at Hamilton had enrolled in the SATC, and the military program dominated life on the Hill.
When the flu first appeared in Clinton during the final week of September, the Hamilton community was completely unprepared. Due to their age and the unique biology of the virus, college students were particularly at risk. Furthermore, the close quarters of on-campus housing at Hamilton provided ideal conditions for contagion. To make matters worse, the College had no infirmary and possessed no nursing staff to speak of. The College's fixation with wartime preparations had left little opportunity to construct temporary care facilities or otherwise prepare.
The first recorded outbreaks at Hamilton College occurred Sept. 28. One of the first students to fall ill was Albert Strever Embler. He had enrolled at Hamilton Sept. 19. On Oct. 2 Embler was the disease's first casualty on campus. He had been on the Hill for only three weeks, but several faculty members referred to him as "a young man of promise." The speed with which Embler died was a tragic and chilling display of the "Spanish" flu's potency and virulence.
When President Ferry addressed the Board of Trustees less than two weeks later, he reported that 50 students had contracted the virus and two had died. The 50 students represented more than one-fifth of Hamilton's student body, and President Ferry included only cases that were severe enough to warrant reporting. Data precisely detailing the disease's impact after Oct. 12 is difficult to find, but considering that the Courier reported a large number of cases into November, it seems likely that the disease continued to afflict Hamilton students for several weeks after Ferry's report.
It is clear that the 1918 outbreak overwhelmed the Hamilton community. In order to provide comfortable housing for scores of sick students, the administration converted Carnegie Residence Hall into a makeshift infirmary. The War Department requested that a temporary facility be created to house the sick officers involved with the SATC, and the Sigma Phi fraternity house became that infirmary. The situation became so severe that Hamilton's administration needed healthy students to volunteer to care for the sick. Volunteering in this capacity was an extremely brave thing to do: Students who volunteered knew they were exposing themselves to an incredibly contagious and dangerous disease.
One of the first to volunteer was sophomore Robert Farrell, an aspiring physician. Farrell had a history of charitable involvement through his church in Utica, and benevolent work was not uncommon for him. Unfortunately, Farrell contracted the flu just a few days after beginning his volunteer work. His condition quickly worsened, and he died Oct. 6.
The tragedy of Robert Farrell's death directly contributed to some of the changes in Hamilton's policy on student health care. Farrell's father was a prominent physician in Utica, and he believed that the best way to honor his son was to start a fund at the College. Dr. Farrell created the Robert Macalister Farrell Nursing Fund "to provide for the cost of hospital care of undergraduates." The fund first appeared in Hamilton's 1919 course catalogue and remained through 1953.
The presence of health care information in Hamilton's course catalogue itself reflected the College's newfound emphasis on student health after the 1918 influenza outbreak. Prior to 1919, the catalogue did not mention medical facilities or health care services on campus. In 1919, the catalogue included a full-page medical services section for the first time in its history. Besides the Farrell fund, the 1919 course catalogue mentioned a new resident physician, available to meet with students by appointment or during a weekly open hour, as well as an infirmary at the YMCA building (now Couper Hall) on campus.
These new services preceded major developments in the College's health care facilities and personnel. At a Board of Trustees meeting in the spring of 1920, President Ferry recommended that the College put together a committee for sanitation and health with a licensed physician to oversee medical services on campus; the board unanimously approved the new committee. Two months later, this committee recommended that the freshman class undergo thorough physical examinations upon arriving on campus. This recommendation, and its subsequent approval, provided the foundation for Hamilton's modern system of mandatory health forms and vaccinations.
The role of the campus physician continued to expand until 1921, when Hamilton began to include physicians' fees in the Board of Trustees' annual budget. One of the physicians who sat on Hamilton's board was Dr. James Glass of Utica. In 1922, the board appointed Dr. Glass and President Ferry to a "special committee on the infirmary." The makeshift medical facilities in the YMCA building were found to be inadequate, and the board created the committee to formulate a plan for building a suitable infirmary at Hamilton.
Following an appropriation of $5,000 and a donation of instruments from Dr. Glass, Hamilton opened its Knox Infirmary (in what is now Minor Theater) in May 1924. This state-of-the-art facility represented the culmination of Hamilton's five-year push toward modernizing its health services; the tragedy of 1918 provided the impetus for these substantial changes. Directly and indirectly, Hamilton had completely modernized its health care system as a result of the flu's devastation.
Deacon Lile '09 wrote his senior history thesis on the 1918 flu pandemic and its impact on Oneida County, Central New York and Hamilton College. This column is excerpted and adapted from his thesis. Lile also was awarded the Kirkland Endowment Essay Prize for an essay based on the thesis.
