Calling All Dawns is a song-cycle in three movements: day, night and dawn. Each movement corresponds to a different phase of life--life, death, and rebirth. There are songs of joy, mystery, and hardship, reflecting the complexity of our mortality. There are songs of the deepest, darkest sorrow to accompany us through death. And finally, there are songs of triumph and exultation that bring us roaring back to life, beginning the cycle anew.
The twelve songs are sung in twelve languages, including Swahili, Mandarin, Hebrew, Irish, Farsi, and many more. The lyrics themselves come from a variety of sources, both sacred and secular: Japanese haiku, Maori proverbs, the Torah, the Bhagavad Gita, and many more. Each song flows seamlessly into the next, and the album ends on the same chord that it opens with--thereby representing the fluid, cyclical nature of the universe. It carries a strong message of unity: that regardless of race, culture and religious belief, we are all connected through our common human experience.
"Calling All Dawns is a masterpiece... I would challenge you to find a better production in any genre... This presentation of intense composition is sure to inspire many more composers in the genre, and could quite possibly change the face of world music..."Dr. Music's Weekly Checkup
"Christopher Tin's album is a masterpiece. Every track is of such a high calibre and standard... "Calling All Dawns" is not just the best world music album of 2009, it's one of the best world music albums of the decade. Pure and absolute musical hedonism."Higher Plain Music
"I opened it up and listened--something I rarely do quickly with new CDs. After hearing just the first track, I took it home to play for my wife, because I thought she would be blown away by it. I cannot explain why, but parts of it nearly had me in tears. This is really great stuff."Richard Glasford, Music Choice
"With superior vocals, Calling All Dawns is a refreshing & exciting juxtaposing of one of the finest orchestras in the world with a new spin on traditional ideas. A definite recommendation to anyone looking to enjoy & expand their classical view of world music."Mark Glasky, WXEL
"I've heard three preview tracks, and it's evident that Christopher Tin's The Drop That Contained the Sea will deliver above and beyond its gorgeous predecessor, Calling All Dawns. Tin's passion for the voice and sensitivity with an orchestra shines brightly and I can't wait to hear the whole album. It's fantastic music."Emily Reese, Minnesota Public Radio
"The Drop That Contained the Sea is a powerfully dramatic work, well-conceived and skillfully realized. While retaining his marked ability for writing music with a wide appeal, he has also formed his own distinct voice without any obvious influences... the end product is reflective of Mr. Tin's deepending maturity as a composer."NY Concert Review
"The Drop That Contained the Sea is one of the must-have albums of 2014 for those who appreciate his unique approach to classical crossover music. I find it to be much more diverse emotionally compared to Calling All Dawns. I eagerly await his next album but I'm afraid he may have set the bar a bit too high with this one."Game Music Online
"Calling All Dawns simply took my breath away and after a few years the conceptual composer returns to simply wow us all again with a beautiful album that has to be heard to be believed. Hands down, I can say now this will be the Classical album of the year – nothing will touch it. This wave stands taller than the rest. Stunning."Higher Plain Music
The Drop That Contained the Sea is a collection of commissioned works on the theme of water. Each of the 10 pieces is sung in a different language, exploring a different vocal tradition: Bulgarian women's choirs, Mongolian throat singing, and Portuguese fado, to name just a few. Each piece also deals with water in a different form, arranged in the order that water flows through the world: melting snow, mountain streams, rivers, the ocean, and so forth. And like Calling All Dawns, the end of the album flows back into the beginning, reflecting the endless nature of the water cycle.
The title The Drop That Contained the Sea comes from a Sufi concept: in the same way that every drop of water contains the essence of the sea, inside every human is the essence of all of humanity. In keeping with this idea I've introduced a water theme in the prelude, and woven subtle variations throughout the album. It contains all seven notes of a major scale-four descending and three ascending-mirroring the flow of water through our world, and representing the vast ocean of melodic possibility contained within a single scale.
Stereo Alchemy is Christopher Tin's electronic collaboration with producer Kametron. Their debut album is God of Love--a collection of 10 songs based on Renaissance and Romantic era poetry, by writers such as Christina Rossetti, John Donne, and Lord Byron. They describe their signature sound as 'decadent electronica'--a blend of trip hop, post punk, and synth pop.
The album features guest vocals by singers Melissa R. Kaplan (of Universal Hall Pass and Splashdown), Mozez (of Zero 7), and Lia Rose (of Built for the Sea). The album was mixed by three-time Grammy-winning engineer Darrell Thorp (who mixes for Radiohead, Beck, and Paul McCartney) and mastered by Tom Baker (Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson).
"I think that this is the future of electronic music... As it begins to pervade our culture, we'll see it used more artfully within other forms of music. They turn negative soundscapes into sexy, euphonic compositions of righteous synth, virtuous instrumentalism, seductive vocals, and just the right amount of bass."LessThan3
"... I felt sex dripping from almost every track... like a lover walked through the door with "A Rapture," and left with "Love Is Love". Cue 'God of Love' and the exhilaration ensues: a dirty, Lohan-esque love affair, teeth catching lips and hair being pulled, all chased with clear liquor; you can thank Stereo Alchemy during the pillow talk."Paradigm Magazine
"... a broad spectrum of electro elegance. The sheer complexity of some of the tracks is mind-boggling, from the percussion to the little nuances and frequency changes in all the instruments as they go. It's these things that elevate a good album to a truly great one. Quite frankly, 'God of Love' is one long eargasm from start to finish..."Higher Plain Music

By GARY ARRINGTONSports Writer
The 2009 football season holds much promise for the young Emery Spartans but on opening night it was all Grand High School as the Emery Spartans could not put any points on the board while Grand scored 14 points of their own.
Emery is starting eight juniors this season with only one of those seeing significant playing time last season. Usually it takes a game or two for younger players to get their varsity feet under them. It appears that may be the case here.
Emery received the opening kickoff and a good kickoff return left Emery with a first and 10 at midfield. Emery marched downfield but an interception near the goal line prevented the Spartans from scoring early in the game and taking the first lead of the day.
After Emery's defense held Grand to a net of four yards and forced a punt on Grand's first series, Emery started their second series at their own 39-yard line, still fairly good field position. Taylor Cox ran for 14 yards on the first play to put Emery into Grand territory but the Spartans were unable to get another first down and punted the ball.
The defense again held, this time limiting Grand to six yards, and Emery got the ball back at their 44-yard line. Emery only picked up three yards on a completed pass to Dusty Jensen in this series and punted the ball once again. Grand took over at their own 15-yard line. Aided by a 15-yard Emery penalty, Grand scored on this series on a 44-yard run by a Grand back. This was the only score of the first half.
Emery's defense played well in the first half as they limited Grand to 118 yards in five series. Take away the touchdown drive and they allowed 32 yards in the other four drives. Emery's offense was stymied though as they were able to only pick up 43 yards in that half.
Grand scored a second time in the second half on a 14-yard run by the same running back. Emery meanwhile was unable to do much offensively as the passing game was non-existent and the running game was about the same. Cory Hansen picked up 14 yards up the middle on the first series of the second half but that was the only play of any distance as the Spartans were unable to get anything going.
Emery now has a week off as the only other team in Utah without a game this week did not want to travel to Emery for a game and Emery already had five road games and needed a home game.
Emery will be back in action on Sept. 4 when they host Desert Hills in Castle Dale at 7 p.m.

Hello guys! Winter is officially upon us, we even had Snow in my part of the world today. The Winter Fair 2012 is almost upon us too, and there are a lot of goodies for you to purchase, some exclusive, some not, but I'm sure there will be at least one thing there you love and take home with you, I have just a handful to show you today:
Intrepid have a whole array of items out for you, in a whole bunch of colours! The sets come with various items, including everything you see, clothes wise, here! The belted cardigan is just too cute! With a great knit texture and slim waist belt, it compliments the jeans wonderfully, and each colour comes with a matching long sleeve teeshirt too. The trenchcoat on your right is also super cute, I believe it's a template item, as I've seen it before, but each one I've seen has it's own spin, this chevron style texture is lovely!
The skin I am wearing above, and the close up below is the Winter Fair Al Vulo skin! What a beauty! A porcelain doll with perfect peachy lips, you also get the eyes included too, icy stare ftw!
I am wearing the long sleeve top from the Intrepid set with a mesh open cardigan from Dew, and with some UGG style boots from PiCHi! The cardigan and boots both come in various colours, I just really loved the vivid red and the traditional camel style for the boots. I wore them with some of my fave jeans ever, the Dingy jeans from fri.day!
JeSyLiLo has at least 2 new skins there, with a gift too! I really love the one on the left, with the subtle tears and red nose, and I really love the lips on the one on the right! Both are gorgeous skins, a bit different but gorgeous. I do love me some JeSyLiLo!!
*SLURLS, if available, are on the Store Locations page!

At Orion, we spend a lot of time under the stars. Sometimes we use a telescope, sometimes we use our plain old eyeballs, but much of the time, we keep both eyes open and use a pair of binoculars. Just about any type of binocular will show you something in the sky, but we generally use binoculars of 40mm diameter or larger; a lot of people prefer 50mm or larger. As with a telescope, the darker the sky, the more you will see, and you'll be amazed what you can see with binoculars under a dark sky!
Some have even said that two eyes are better than one. If you've ever used a pair of astronomy binoculars, you have every right to chime in with your opinion.
Orion 10x50 UltraView Wide-Angle Binoculars
Having a pair of binoculars on hand opens up an easy possibility: a quick, five minute view of the cosmos that doesn't require any sort of set up or telescope dragging. If skies are clear, you can fit this in before bed, or while walking your dog after dark. You'll be amazed at what you can see in just a few minutes under dark skies, and the expanded perception it will leave you with in the weeks to come.
Without further ado, here is Orion's Top 25 Showpiece Binocular Objects in the night sky. We know you have probably viewed the following objects in a telescope, but have you seen them in binoculars? Let us know in the "review" section of this article, or in a comment on this article on our Facebook Page.
Good luck!
Orion's Top 25 Binocular Targets:
- M44, The Beehive
- M81 & M82, a face-on and edge-on Galaxy Pair
- M65 & M66, a Galaxy Pair
- NGC 253 & NGC 288, a Galaxy and Globular Pair
- Omega Centauri
- M8/M20 Complex
- The North America Nebula
- M27, The Dumbbell Nebula
- M13 - the Great Cluster in Hercules
- M45, The Pleiades
- The Double Cluster
- M31, The Andromeada Galaxy
- M33, The Pinwheel Galaxy
- The Helix Nebula
- Orion Nebula - M42
- Rosette Nebula
- M36/M37/M38 - Trio of Open Clusters in Auriga
- M47/M46 - Pair of Open Star Clusters
Let us know if you were able to find any of these objects in binoculars, or have any favorites to add, by leaving a "review" of this article, or leaving a comment on this article on our Facebook Page.

UPDATE: The 15th Anniversary is here! See the new covers for Book #2, Books #3-5, Book #6, and Book #7!
To celebrate the 15th anniversary of the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling, Scholastic has unveiled the first of 7 all-new book covers illustrated by Amulet artist Kazu Kibuishi.
Kibuishi is a longtime Harry Potter fan who called this opportunity, "more than a little surreal. The Harry Potter covers by Mary GrandPré are so fantastic and iconic," he says. "When I was asked to submit samples, I initially hesitated because I didn't want to see them reinterpreted! . . . As an author myself, I tried to answer the question, 'If I were the author of the books – and they were like my own children – how would I want them to be seen years from now?'"
Well, here is the answer to that question for Book #1: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.
All 7 new covers will appear on U.S. paperback editions coming in September 2013 and will depict a "distinctive and memorable moment" from each book. This one obviously depicts Harry Potter's first visit to Diagon Alley with Hagrid.
We are curious to hear what you think should appear on the covers of Books #2-7. Leave your most distinctive and memorable moments from each book in the Comments. And tell us what you think of the new cover for Book #1! Personally, after my first reaction (which was a loud gasp!) I can now say that I LOVE it!!
Cover art by Mary GrandPré c 1998, and Kazu Kibuishi c 2013

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
The Emery County Commissioners met for their annual commission meeting in Green River on Aug. 23. The commission opened bids for scrap metal removal from the Emery County landfill. Sims Metal Management from Salt Lake was the highest bid with a bid of $212 per ton.
The commission approved the agreement with the Division of Forestry, Fire and Statelands. They contribute $7,500 to the county for the management of noxious weeds.
The contract was approved between the county and the State of Utah for the low income apartment renovation of all the bathrooms in the two bedroom apartments in Castle Dale and Ferron.
The commission ratified the resolution authorizing Castle Valley Special Service District tax increase.
The commission talked about a new water connection for the road shop so they can have a better system available to wash equipment and other needs. The matter was tabled until more information is gathered about the water share and water connection.
Brady Bradford presented information to the commission on new waste water systems and trends. In some areas they are running into problems with not having enough soil to treat waste waters. They are looking at new alternative systems. Many of these systems are being used in other areas around the state. He said in order for any of these alternative systems to be used they need to be approved by the health department and county commission and county attorney.
Commissioner Jeff Horrocks said it would be a good idea to bring the issue to the planning and zoning board also for their general knowledge. Use of these alternative systems will allow building in areas previously considered unusable for building. These systems are more expensive to install and maintain than traditional systems.
Bradford estimates there would be four-10 systems installed in the four county area each year and probably only one a year in Emery County and that would probably be on mountain land. The commission approved the request to allow these alternative systems.
The commission discussed the request of the district court to have safety glass installed around their office. Commissioner James Nelson asked for a written agreement from the courts be obtained that they would pay for the glass and the commission didn't see a problem with having it installed.
Marilyn Collard will teach a lifeguard certification class at the swimming pool for those interested in attending.
Commissioner James Nelson mentioned the Utah Rural Summit he attended at Southern Utah University. There were several great workshops and a good risk management class. He met with Mike Noel in an effort to move the Emery County land use bill along. He felt they are making some headway with him. Commissioner Nelson said he felt the Emery County bill is a real grass roots attempt at land management and they are trying to insert bureaucracy into the effort. He attended a water meeting with the Emery Water Conservancy district and the county is looking good for water with all the reservoirs almost full at this time. He also attended the fundraising ATV poker ride to raise money for Millsite State Park. Forty people attended and rode 4-wheelers and had a lunch together.
Commissioner Laurie Pitchforth attended the rural summit as well and said there were some informative meetings and meetings on public land issues important to our county. She met with Mike Styler from the Natural Resources division. She attended Horse and Buggy days in Elmo and an aging meeting. There is a seat available for anyone in the Huntington, Cleveland or Elmo areas interested in serving on the aging board.
On Sept. 9 will be a county sponsored lamb fry lunch for the county senior citizens at Little Bear campground beginning at 11 a.m.
Commissioner Horrocks reported on the road projects in the county. The contract for the Reeder Subdivision road was awarded to Nielson Construction. The Lila Canyon road is complete. The South Moore cut-off road is undergoing a fencing project right now to keep cows off the road.
The dips in the Little Wildhorse Canyon have been installed. Miller Creek road phase two is now underway.
County Attorney David Blackwell alerted the commission to possible increases in payments to public defenders. New contracts are being formulated and there will be a revamping on how these contracts are bid out. There may be a new bidding and contract process coming at the state level which makes the system uniform throughout the state.
Currently each county handles these contracts on a county by county basis as outlined by the state legislature. The ACLU had a lawsuit against the entire state of Montana and that situation has brought about a look at the current system used in Utah.
Blackwell said to be aware of this as budgets are prepared in the fall.
The next commission meeting will be on Sept. 13 at 9 a.m. in Castle Dale.

Too Wide and Too Loose
"Bought these to dress up an outfit for an evening out and they would have been perfect except for the fact that the straps were too loose around my feet and ankle. I couldn't walk in them. There is no adjustment ability on these so if your feet are on the narrow side, like mine, don't buy them!"

Israel and Judah are called to repentance—Jeremiah laments for the miseries of Judah.

Nathan Cullen Skeena—Bulkley Valley, BC
Mr. Speaker, hearing the announcement of the reception, I will try to keep this as brief as possible for myself and the government House leader.
We have some questions about what the government plans for the next number of days. First, we would like confirmation from the government on the NDP's next opposition day.
As well, on Bill C-38, the omnibus bill that the government has lumped in a whole suite of quite damaging and fundamental changes, not just to the way Parliament works and the government's procedure of shutting down debate, but also in Canadian life, such as pensions, pay equity and environmental protections, will the five days remaining for debate be in their full context or is the government planning to introduce other measures of disruption of Parliament's ability to hold the government to account?
Business of the House
Oral Questions
3:05 p.m.
Peter Van Loan Leader of the Government in the House of Commons
Mr. Speaker, on the last point, I would say no.
Today we will continue debate on Bill C-38, the jobs, growth and long-term prosperity act, which would implement our budget, economic action plan 2012. As the economy is our government's most important priority, we have ensured that this will be the longest budget debate in the past 20 years. It might have been y much longer than that but that is as far back as we went in our research. This debate will have been longer than every other debate at second reading on a budget implementation bill in the previous two decades. Why is it longer? We think all members of the House should be focused on the economy but we hear very little about it in question period. The economy is our priority. We have ensured that this will be the longest debate in the past 20 years so there will finally be a focus on the importance of the economy, job creation and economic growth.
The bill would implement many important measures from our budget. To recap, the Minister of Finance tabled the economic action plan 2012 on March 29. We then had four days of debate on the budget, three of which, I would remind the NDP House leader, were filled by one member, the NDP member for Burnaby—New Westminster who prevented most of his colleagues and all parties from getting a chance to debate the budget. On Wednesday, April 4, the House voted on and approved the budgetary measures put forward by the finance minister. It was then, on Thursday, April 26, that we introduced Bill C-38, the jobs, growth and long-term prosperity act, to implement measures that the House approved. On that day, I indicated to the House that we would be having the second reading vote on May 14. We are on track to keep that commitment.
Today is the second of seven days this bill will be debated prior to the second reading vote on May 14. Tomorrow will be the third day. We will continue with the fourth day of debate on Monday, May 7; the fifth day on Tuesday, May 8; the sixth day on Wednesday, May 9; and the seventh day on Friday, May 11.
This ample debate will allow hon. members from all sides of this House an opportunity to put forward their views on this bill, especially since the NDP member for Burnaby—New Westminster will no longer be able to block other MPs from speaking, as he did during the Budget debate.
And finally, Thursday, May 10, will be the third allotted day, for the NDP.
The House resumed consideration of the motion that Bill C-38, An Act to implement certain provisions of the budget tabled in Parliament on March 29, 2012 and other measures, be read the second time and referred to a committee, and of the amendment.

May 3rd, 2012 / 3:05 p.m.
Alex Atamanenko British Columbia Southern Interior, BC
Mr. Speaker, it is an honour for me to follow my colleague from Welland on this debate. He quite eloquently spoke to the flaws of this bill. I would like to also thank him for his work on the agriculture file and on behalf of farmers.
Just prior to the start of this debate, my colleague from Malpeque and I were discussing how what we are witnessing is a transformation of our country. We were discussing the state of our country, and this omnibus bill, which lumps in all these measures that are chipping away at what many Canadians believe in, is just an example of this. I would go so far as to say that although we speak the same language, we are dividing ourselves into two new solitudes. One is represented by the government side, which represents a minority of citizens in our country, and the other side is represented by this side here, which represents the majority of citizens, citizens who really do not want to see major changes to our social net or to our system.
What are we seeing? We are seeing a government saying that it is all about job creation. At the same time, we are seeing a tremendous loss of public service well-paying jobs. I would like to remind people in the House that especially in our small rural communities, well-paying jobs are the main economic driver. These are the folks who drive the economy. They are the ones who go to restaurants and buy the local cars. They are the ones who keep our communities alive. What we are seeing here is that a lot of these jobs are being cut, and, as I will explain later, it is for no real reason.
Just before I move on, I would like to talk about what I call "union bashing". We have well-paying jobs in this country, both in the private and public sectors, because we have a labour movement that has worked hard to ensure a high standard. I was talking with some representatives of the Canadian Police Association the other day when they were in town. They told me the reason they have well-paying jobs as police officers is that police officers, with the exception of the RCMP, have unions or associations, and the reason the RCMP has a livable wage is that the bar has been set by people who are represented by unions. At the same time we see Bill C-377, the accountability of unions act, loading a whole bunch of red tape on police associations and other trade unions in the country, which is totally unacceptable.
What are the budgetary consequences of this 2012 budget?
First, there will be at least 19,200 jobs lost in the public service. Second, there will be a total of between 50,000 and 72,000 jobs lost in the economy, including 1,119 jobs lost at the Department of National Defence, 162 fewer trade officers in Canada, 840 layoffs at Health Canada, 650 layoffs at the CBC, at least 4,800 layoffs in the NCR, 252 layoffs in client service at Veterans Affairs Canada, 100 food inspectors laid off, and I could go on.
What are we seeing, then? We are seeing that for no reason, the public service, consisting of civil servants who are professionals and do their jobs, is being reduced for what I would submit are ideological reasons. Why are they ideological? I am not sure if people are aware of this, but by the year 2014, the current government, since 2006, will have given the corporate sector over $220 billion of corporate tax cuts. That is $220 billion. Let us juxtapose that with raising the age of qualification for pensions to 67 and the hardships that will cause to a lot of seniors on marginal income. Let us juxtapose that with other cuts to the public sector and to the environment.
I would like to also say that choices are made by government. It appears the choice has been to make these drastic cuts to not only the public sector but to our way of life. There is a choice in spending billions of dollars on F-35s or even $30 million to somehow glorify the War of 1812, which nobody really cares about. We can tell that to pensioners who are trying to make ends meet and see what they have to say about it.
We talk about economic recovery. We talk about the fact that Canada supposedly has led the world economic recovery, whereas research that has been done has shown that two countries have been stronger than Canada in recovering from the economic downturn. One is Sweden, the other Australia.
Let us talk about Sweden, a country where there are no strikes, where everything is done by collective agreement and where the law mandates that labour is represented on corporate boards so that there is a working relationship between government, corporations and labour. Let us talk about a country where there is free tuition, free care for seniors, free child care, over 400 days of paid parental leave per child and full benefits for part-time workers.
If my colleagues in the House are not sure of these statistics, I urge them to see the film Poor No More, narrated by Mary Walsh. In the film she takes us to Sweden and compares what is happening here. I know that the argument will be that we want to raise taxes; well, Sweden is a country that has high taxes and provides services, and it is a country where people are working and there is virtually no unemployment.
In a March 29 article entitled "A budget that screws the planet for short-term profits", Marc Lee, of the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, stated:
This is a colonial vision of the economy as a quarry for foreign interests. Instead of ensuring development of resources in a manner consistent with real long-term needs like energy security, the [federal government] is open to any foreign investor who wants our resources, and Canadians will politely have to clean up the mess afterwards. While there will be some Canadian jobs in all of this, most of them will be of short duration in the construction phase, but the budget also increases the capacity to bring in temporary foreign workers.
Let us talk about the short-duration jobs.
We here are against the northern pipeline that will send raw bitumen through our territory and to the waters off the coast of British Columbia to Asia. One of the reasons we are against the pipeline is that the jobs that will be created are short term. We are shipping jobs outside of the country. It is interesting to have a government that says we need to create jobs and that at the same time, through its policies, will be shipping jobs outside of the country.
Mr. Lee goes on to say in his article:
Our penchant for planetary destruction just cannot happen fast enough. Under the mantra "one project, one review" environmental considerations will get lumped in with everything else, meaning that review processes for destructive mining and oil and gas projects will be fast-tracked.
Therefore, instead of having a review that looks at and ensures proper oversight of these projects, we will get this fast-tracking.
I am going to say a few words about the environment as well. At least a third of Bill C-38 is devoted to environmental deregulation. The government is doing everything it said it would do, and more.

Francine Raynault Joliette, QC
Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for his excellent speech.
The weakening of the Auditor General's oversight powers is one of the very important elements of this bill.
I would like my colleague to tell us what the consequences of reducing those powers will be.

Alex Atamanenko British Columbia Southern Interior, BC
Mr. Speaker, I appreciate that question and I would like to thank my colleague.
Obviously, if the Auditor General does not have the authority or capacity to do his work, there will be less oversight of what the government is doing. There will not be as much oversight. Less oversight amounts to interfering in the democratic process, and that is what we have already seen, since 2006, with this government.

Anne-Marie Day Charlesbourg—Haute-Saint-Charles, QC
Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the hon. member for his speech, which I appreciated enormously.
In this budget, everything possible is being done to exploit natural resources and send them out of the country as fast as possible.
Is the bottom line that this country is for sale? Why are we not doing any primary processing? Why are we not creating value-added jobs?
How would the member answer that question?

Alex Atamanenko British Columbia Southern Interior, BC
Mr. Speaker, I would first like to thank my colleague for her question.
The key is pressure from multinationals. This is the government's policy in response to pressure from multinationals, which do not want us to do any processing in this country and do not want us to have a strong economy in Canada. It benefits them when we send our resources elsewhere, to other countries, where they will be processed at a lower cost because decent wages are not paid there.

Romeo Saganash Abitibi—Baie-James—Nunavik—Eeyou, QC
Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for his excellent presentation.
If I recall correctly, the government party's slogan in the last election was "power to the regions".
I would like my colleague to go into more detail for us about the consequences this budget will have for the regions, rural communities and the north, because many of the measures being proposed in this budget at present will have a significant impact on those areas.

3:20 p.m.
Alex Atamanenko British Columbia Southern Interior, BC
Mr. Speaker, I appreciate that question and I thank my colleague for it.
What we are seeing here is an attempt to transfer powers to the regions without there being enough money to support what the regions want to do. That means that the responsibility will fall to the provinces, the regional districts. This puts a great deal of pressure on our small rural communities, including the ones I represent.
That is irresponsible, in my opinion.

Wai Young Vancouver South, BC
Mr. Speaker, it is a great pleasure for me to rise in the House today to speak in support of Canada's economic action plan 2012. I am pleased to be sharing my time today with my hon. colleague, the member for Chilliwack—Fraser Canyon, who I know is a hard-working and effective representative for his constituents.
A year ago today, during a time of immense global economic challenge, Canadians from coast to coast to coast were asked to make a choice about who would lead them on a path toward jobs, growth and long-term prosperity. On May 2, 2011, they made that choice. They chose our Prime Minister and this government to lead and chart Canada's path.
Canada's economic action plan 2012 is a forward looking, dynamic and exciting plan to increase Canada's competitiveness in a swiftly changing global economy to create jobs for today and those as yet unimagined, to open doors to stable growth and long-term prosperity, all of this while keeping taxes low and returning Canada to balanced budgets over the medium term.
Budget 2012 takes significant steps to encourage entrepreneurship, innovation and world-class research. Budget 2012 improves conditions for business investments and investments in training. Budget 2012 provides for needed infrastructure and vital social programs and services and is there for Canadians.
I would like to take this opportunity, on behalf of the residents of Vancouver South, to congratulate our Prime Minister and our Minister of Finance on the careful and considerate measures in the budget. I am excited by what this budget means for Canada. My neighbours, friends and colleagues are also excited about what this budget provides for our province, our communities and our families.
British Columbia is a province of immense potential. We have abundant natural and energy resources. We are culturally diverse and blessed with the potential of an educated and innovative workforce. Through our ports, roads, rail lines and airports, we are the gateway to the Asia Pacific. B.C. is in many ways vital to Canada's future, and Canada's economic action plan makes that future even brighter.
For British Columbians, the budget would increase access to support for business innovation by creating the western innovation program, or WINN, a new program that would provide financial support to innovative small and medium-sized enterprises in western Canada. This is exciting news for entrepreneurs and the many new and inventive projects on which they are working. This new program will spur innovation and create jobs for the future.
The people of British Columbia are also excited to note the government's commitment to responsible resource development in the budget. The government is taking steps to modernize the regulatory system for project reviews. By streamlining the review process for major economic projects, projects can proceed in a timely fashion, while still protecting the environment. The realization of one project one review is welcome.
The government, through this budget, has renewed its commitment to the major projects management office initiative by proposing $54 million over two years to continue to support effective project approvals. Through this initiative, the approvals process for major natural resource projects will become more effective, as the average review will occur within two years instead of the archaic and project killing process currently in place taking 4, 7 or 14 years.
However, the budget is not just about moving projects; it is about effectiveness and balance. This means ensuring that the voices of people who may be affected by potential projects are heard and that the environment is protected. That is why our government is also taking important steps to ensure that the rights and interests of aboriginal peoples are respected and that they benefit from the economic development opportunities. Budget 2012 proposes $13.6 million over two years to the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency to support consultations with the aboriginal peoples related to projects assessed under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act.
Furthermore, our government has committed to responsible energy development and to that end will invest $35.7 million over two years to further strengthen Canada's tanker safety regime and ensure that pipelines in Canada are carefully monitored, environmental consequences are understood and emergency response is improved.
Budget 2012 also proposes $13.5 million over two years to the National Energy Board to increase the number of inspections of oil and gas pipelines, from approximately 100 to 150 inspections per year, and double from 3 to 6 the number of annual comprehensive audits to identify issues before incidents even occur.
Members of the House should know that the natural resource sector is of vital significance to British Columbians. It is therefore crucial that we move projects forward in a timely, responsible manner. Undue delays cost money, time, lost opportunity and, most important, jobs. However, what is most important is that the projects can anticipate a consistent approvals process which is conducted in a timely manner, that the rights of our aboriginal ancestors are understood and respected and that our environment is protected and safety regimes strengthened.
Budget 2012 accomplishes all of this as it strives to update Canada's regulatory systems and processes, while balancing Canada's economic and environmental needs.
Canadians and British Columbians are also excited to see our government take direct action to create jobs. That is why, since 2006, the government has placed a strong emphasis on access to skills training, support for post-secondary education, building a fast and flexible economic immigration system and developing untapped potential in the labour market.
Budget 2012 builds on this foundational work with an enhanced labour market focus and a number of targeted investments that will help respond to current labour market needs and challenges and meets longer-term labour market needs as well. The government will introduce measures to streamline processes and increase funding to better integrate and enable access for certain under-represented groups in the labour force, including immigrants, persons with special needs, youth, aboriginal peoples and older Canadians.
As an example, for young Canadians our government has committed to enhancing the youth employment strategy by investing $50 million over two years to assist more young people to gain the skills and work experience that they need. In addition to enhanced skills, this funding will also help to connect these young people with jobs in areas with skills shortages.
In addition to measures for under-represented groups, our government has also made a commitment to create an advisory council to increase the participation of women on corporate boards. With leaders from the private and public sectors, this council will link organizations to a network of skilled and experienced women and empower them to step into leadership roles and participate at the highest levels of all Canadian sectors.
Furthermore, we are taking important action to create jobs by extending the hiring credit for small business for an additional year. Almost 650,000 Canadian businesses are eligible for this credit. In my province, this is important, as small and medium-sized enterprises in B.C. are thriving and account for over 38% of the total value of goods exported from B.C., a value of $29.3 billion in 2010.
I have consulted with small business owners in my constituency and they are unanimous in their support for this action. They know the difference it will make for their businesses and for those whom they will be able to hire. They know that for every job that is created, there is a positive ripple effect for businesses, families and for our communities.
It is clear that budget 2012 is excellent news for Canadians and British Columbians. As I have already outlined, the comprehensive measures it contains will grow our economy, create jobs and prosperity, but budget 2012 also provides a stable framework for federal and provincial programs.
Canadians and British Columbians have come to depend on provincially administered services like education and health care. During the last election, our Prime Minister committed to protecting these important programs by not cutting and, in fact, increasing federal transfer payments to the provinces. Unlike the former government, our government is balancing the need for economic growth with strong programs.
For British Columbia, major transfer will total over $5.6 billion in 2012-13. This long-term, stable and increased support helps ensure that British Columbia has the resources required to provide essential public services and contributes to shared national objectives, including health care, post-secondary education and other key components of Canada's social programs. The federal government will contribute over $4 billion through the Canada health transfer, an increase of more than $1.2 billion since 2005-06, and almost $1.6 billion through the Canada social transfer, an increase of $393 million since 2005-06.
British Columbia will also benefit from continued direct targeted support in 2012-13, including $67 million for labour market training and $33 million for the wait times reduction fund. This is all significant support for British Columbians and the people of Vancouver South. I understand their enthusiasm and echo their appreciation of the commitment from our federal government to our province—

Posted on 02/09/2013 11:52:52 AM PST by NoGrayZone
Our FReepathon. I did not have any money to give more to my favorite site. However, I did have a few gift cards, with small balances just sitting around.
I checked each and everyone of them to see how much was left. I had 4 in total (one was for .50 cents, lol).
The other 3 totaled $30.77. I was not sure if a cc charge was applied for donations, so I contacted onyx whom referred me to Jim Robinson.
Those last 3 donations from NY posted, were from me and my gift cards, sitting there collecting dust.
If any of you have gift cards sitting around, check the balance. There is a minimum of $3.00 for cc donation to FR.
Smart idea.....when you check the balances left, write down the last 4 numbers of the acct # and write down the amount left. Makes it SO much easier to process to the FReepathon.
I KNOW there are a lot of you with those gifts cards laying around collecting dust because of the small balances left.
THEY ADD UP! If only 10 FReepers had a collection of $30 seperate gift cards, that's an additional $300 bucks!
So go ahead, look in your drawers, wallets, closets, where ever you keep those cards. Look up the balance and donate them to FR!
Get looking and collecting!!! Remember, the minimum is $3.00.
Let's hop to it! =)
Im going on a hunt too great idea
How can the balance of a gift card, which is to be used at a certain merchant and not usually refundable in cash, be turned into a cash donation to Free Republic? I don't know how it's done.
If everyone just gave up a couple of Big Macs a month they could chip in with 120 bucks a year.
Visa, Mastercard, Amex gift cards. Store cards won't work.
Sorry for not stating that. Thought it would be common knowledge.
If we could do it, I have $75 bucks just sitting here, unused!
Thanks!!! I am now searching my wallet to see if I have anymore I stored away!
If you want to bust the bank on a Freepathon, offer everyone who donates $25.00 or more a chance to win in a drawing for a brand new AR15 with 5 - 30 round magazines.
Keep it open until the end of Q1 and you might not have to have another Freepathon until Q4 of this year.
Mini FReepathon Idea!
Creative thinking.
Thanks, NoGrayZone.
Thank you so much, NGZ! You're the very best!
I recognized your incoming the second Jim posted it from NY!
AND, your beloved NY in in 3rd Place!
Heads up thinking.
Good on you.
If I had it to give, I would.
But if you do........ =)
If I am correct there is no background checks or even age limits to raffle off anything that is muzzle loading.
Woo hoo!! Thank you very much, NoGrayZone!!
What a great idea!
I think I might have a gift card from the Olive Garden.
Will that work?
((((just kidding))))
Fudge! The only ones I have are Subway and Cracker Barrel. But I will remember this, cause it's a great idea. Thanks!
I knew I had an Amex gift card, but could not find it!!
Damn cats thinks anything on top of any surface is a toy!!
Found it.
Here comes another $50, woohooo!!
BTW.... I really need to move my couch a little more when I clean, ewwww!
Just thought I'd throw that in, lol.
Thank you for pinging your list Lucy!!! (((hug)))
Ping!!! =)
Well, I wouldn't say my beloved NY, lol. I do believe we now have the strictest anti-second amendment laws in the country.
Was dying to leave, even making plans to escape to SC. Then a part of me wants to stay and fight these b@stards.
Just to shove it in their face. Beside, I believe that "first shot" we all talk about will start here in NY.
I want to be apart of that...even if I die doing so.
Thanks! Thought of it on Thursday,but didn't have anytime to find out info and post.
I am now snowbound (yay) and thought today would be a perfect day to do it.
Ping....just in case you had any laying around. =)
Remember, our kitties are twins!
No prob boss!
Great idea!
I'll scope around for some.
Thanks!! Nothing worse than unused money, which is why I kept them.
Now what to do with my .50 cent one......
Hahahaha. I have 3 "store" ones that are just sitting here.
Guess I have to go shopping, ugh!!
I have 3 store ones. I HATE shopping, but I hate to waste money even more.
I wish there was a way we could exchange our store ones, which one WILL use, in exchange for cash to be donated to FR.
Too many freaky trolls here though to set up such a trust system though.
To all you freaky trolls....I HATE YOU.
Visa, Mastercard, Amex gift cards, where does one get these from? Every gift card I have received has been for a specific store or a bunch of different restaurants owned by one company.
You could be right about the first shot happening in NY, thanks to your Communist governor Cuomo.
That guy is out to lunch, right along with the tiny tyrant mayor of NYC.
Thanks, hope you find some!
Everywhere! People giving you specific gift cards to stores probably think "I like them, so will you".
When I give gift cards, I always give a cc one. That way they can use it for whatever they'd like, even to pay a bill (which I have done with several gift cards).
Ugh, the 2 of them. God help them (and me) if I ever come face to face with them.
To anyone "monitoring"...that WAS NOT a threat. I just have a smarta$$ mouth....
LOL. Right, that's NOT a threat.
I should pay cash for that stuff anyway.
Thank you sweetie!!! I would have never pulled that one off!!
Damn those boating accidents! Been hearing about them all across the country. Sorry for your loss =(.
Cash is king.....=)
No problem at all. I'll ping our Team next.
FReepers might also do something along the lines of what I've been doing for years. I keep track of my loose change in my little purse, and donate the equivalent of the amount gathered weekly between each FReepathon.
If all of us just checked the change on hand in pockets or purses right at this moment — and donated it by CC, it would come to a tidy amount.
I don't know about other states but here in Washington, if your card balance is less than $5.00 you can just cash it out at the store or whatever business it came from. Turn those small balance cards into real bucks and send it to FR.
Hope you're doing well in your recovery FRiend!
I know you got hit pretty hard by Sandy, did you get the snow storm too?
New FReepathon idea bump. BTTT...!!
I'm a monthly donor and I guess should feel satisfied with that. You know, smug that I'm doing my part.
But, you've inspired me. I'm going to put my thinking cap on the weekend and see if I can come up with an alternative, too.
We got 29 inches. I forced my boss, yesterday, to close the office today, and then he told us to get the heck out yesterday after the last patient, around 3:30. The snow was not supposed to start upon us until late afternoon. God stated differently and it started early/late morning.
Sandy was the whore of Babylon. This blizzard did not knock out anything. Just a bunch of beautiful pure white I have to go remove so I can head into work on Monday.
Taking the landlords wife advise....do it tomorrow!
I decided to just FReep all day today, which I rarely get an opportunity to do.
Loving every minute of it!
I swiped it from RedMDer!
We call it *sharing*.
My cut hours, and now the extra taxes I get to pay, the change will probably pay for my substinance.
I also have 2 cats I am responsible for. Any extra money I have goes to the FReepathon.
$3 is the minimum cc contribution. Anything less then that, by all means, save em up, cash them in and send to FR.

The Watershed Effect: BLM-Alaska Hosts Copper River Stewardship Project
John Wesley Powell defined a watershed as, "that area of land, a bounded hydrologic system, within which all living things are inextricably linked by their common water course and where, as humans settled, simple logic demanded that they become part of a community." The BLM-Alaska's Glennallen Field Office, Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve, Copper River Watershed Project, Wrangell Institute for Science and Environment, Prince William Sound Science Center and several other partners worked together to host the Copper River Stewardship Project to help students understand and explore the history, ecology and challenges which link and influence the Copper River Watershed. The hands-on program brings together 10 students - five from the upriver watershed (mostly subsistence and recreation users) and five from the lower delta watershed (mostly commercial and recreation users) of the Copper River - for a 10-day exploration of the watershed.
Over the course of the trip the students traveled by foot and canoe to examine all the influences on and resources of the watershed, and to share and debate issues from their differing perspectives. They examined the cultural history, geology, fisheries, wildlife, forestry, oil and energy, economics, and land management missions and patterns of the watershed, and will serve as watershed ambassadors to create a series of projects and share their experience and knowledge with others. This year, Yup'ik storyteller Jack Dalton accompanied the students on the trip. Jack will work with the student ambassadors to develop unique educational displays that will be installed along the Copper River. We hope you enjoy this YouTube video in which the students describe their watershed journey.

Wide Spread and Complex Climatic Changes Outlined in New UNEP Project Atmospheric Brown Cloud Report13/
Cities Across Asia Get Dimmer: Impacts on Glaciers, Agriculture and the Monsoon Get Clearer Beijing/Nairobi, 13 November 2008 - Cities from Beijing to New Delhi are getting darker, glaciers in ranges like the Himalayas are melting faster and weather systems becoming more extreme, in part, due to the combined effects of human-made Atmospheric Brown Clouds (ABCs) and greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.The brown clouds, the result of burning of fossil fuels and biomass, are in some cases and regions aggravating the impacts of greenhouse gas-induced climate change, says the report.This is because ABCs lead to the formation of particles like black carbon and soot that absorb sunlight and heat the air; and gases such as ozone which enhance the greenhouse effect of CO2.Globally however brown clouds may be countering or 'masking' the warming impacts of climate change by between 20 and up to 80 per cent the researchers suggest.This is because of particles such as sulfates and some organics which reflect sunlight and cool the surface.The cloud is also having impacts on air quality and agriculture in Asia increasing risks to human health and food production for three billion people.Achim Steiner, UN Under-Secretary General and Executive Director, UN Environment Programme (UNEP) said: "One of UNEP's central mandates is science-based early warning of serious and significant environmental challenges. I expect the Atmospheric Brown Cloud to be now firmly on the international community's radar as a result of today's report".The phenomenon has been most intensively studied over Asia. This is in part because of the region's already highly variable climate, including the formation of the annual monsoon, and the fact that the region is home to around half the world's population and is undergoing massive growth.But the scientists today made clear that there are also brown clouds elsewhere, including over parts of North America, Europe, southern Africa and the Amazon Basin which also require urgent and detailed research."Combating rising CO2 levels and climate change is the challenge of this generation, but it is also the best bet the world has for Green Growth, including new jobs and new enterprises from a booming solar and wind industry to more fuel efficient vehicles, homes and workplaces. Developed countries must not only act first but also assist developing economies with the finance and clean technology needed to green energy generation and economic growth," said Mr Steiner."In doing so, they can not only lift the threat of climate change but also turn off the soot- stream that is feeding the formation of atmospheric brown clouds in many of the world's regions. This is because the source of greenhouse gases and soot are often one and the same—unsustainable burning of fossil fuels, inefficient combustion of biomass and deforestation," he added.Professor Veerabhadran Ramanathan, head of the UNEP scientific panel which is carrying out the research said: "I would like to pay tribute to my distinguished colleagues, drawn from universities and research centres in Asia including China, India, Japan, Korea, Singapore and Thailand as well as Europe and the United States.""Our preliminary assessment, published in 2002, triggered a great deal of awareness but also skepticism. That has often been the initial reaction to new, novel and far reaching, counter-intuitive scientific research," he said."We believe today's report brings ever more clarity to the ABC phenomena and in doing so must trigger an international response—one that tackles the twin threats of greenhouse gases and brown clouds and the unsustainable development that underpins both," added professor Ramanathan who is based at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, La Jolla, California. "One of the most serious problems highlighted in the report is the documented retreat of the Hindu Kush-Himalayan-Tibetan glaciers, which provide the headwaters for most Asian rivers, and thus have serious implications for the water and food security of Asia," he said."The new research, by identifying some of the causal factors, offers hope for taking actions to slow down this disturbing phenomenon; it should be cautioned that significant uncertainty remains in our understanding of the complexity of the regional effects of ABCs and more surprises may await us," added Professor Ramanathan. Highlights from Atmospheric Brown Clouds: Regional Assessment Report with Focus on AsiaFive regional hotspots for ABCs have been indentified.These are: East Asia, covering eastern China; The Indo-Gangetic plains in South Asia from the northwest and northeast regions of eastern Pakistan across India to Bangladesh and Myanmar; Southeast Asia, covering Cambodia, Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam; Southern Africa extending southwards from sub-Saharan Africa into Angola, Zambia and Zimbabwe; and The Amazon basin in South America.There are hotspots too in North America over the eastern seaboard and in Europe—but winter precipitation tends to remove them and reduce their impact.Cities and 'Dimming' Around 13 megacities have so far been identified as ABC hotpots. Bangkok, Beijing, Cairo, Dhaka, Karachi, Kolkata, Lagos, Mumbai, New Delhi, Seoul, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Tehran where soot levels are 10 per cent of the total mass of all human-made particles. ABCs can reduce sunlight hitting the Earth's surface in two ways.Some of the particles such as sulphates, linked with burning coal and other fossil fuels, reflect and scatter rays back into space. Others, also linked with fossil fuel and biomass burning, in particular black carbon in soot, absorb sunlight before it reaches the ground. The overall effect is to make 'hot spot' cities darker or dimmer. 'Dimming' of between 10-25 per cent is occurring over cities such as Karachi, Beijing, Shanghai and New Delhi Guangzhou is among several cities that have recorded a more than 20 per cent reduction in sunlight since the 1970s For India as a whole, the dimming trend has been running at about two per cent per decade between 1960 and 2000—more than doubling between 1980 and 2004. "In China the observed dimming trend from the 1950s to the 1990s was about 3-4 per cent per decade, with the larger trends after the 1970s," says the report. Impact on Cloud Formation and a Further Dimming Effect Regions with large concentrations of ABCs may be getting cloudier which can also contribute to dimming but data are not sufficient to quantify this effect. Particles and aerosols in the ABCs may act to inhibit the formation of rain drops and rainfall. "The net effect is an extension of cloud life-times," says the report.Masking the Impacts of Climate Change ABCs shield the surface from sunlight by reflecting solar radiation back to space and by absorbing heat in the atmosphere. These two dimming phenomena can act to artificially cool the Earth's surface especially during dry seasons. The pollution can also be transported around the world via winds in the upper troposphere (above 5 km in altitude). As a result global temperature rises—linked with greenhouse gas emissions—may currently be between 20 per cent and 80 per cent less as a result of brown clouds around the world says the report. If brown clouds were eliminated overnight, this could trigger a rapid global temperature rise of as much as to 2 degrees C. Added to the 0.75 degrees C rise of the 20th century, this could push global temperatures well above 2 degrees C—considered by many scientists to be a crucial and dangerous threshold. Thus simply tackling the pollution linked with brown cloud formation without simultaneously delivering big cuts in greenhouse gases could have a potentially disastrous effect.Complex Regional Impacts on Temperature The science of ABCs, woven with the science of greenhouse gases, is not simple and may be behind some highly complex warming and cooling patterns witnessed on continents and in different regions of specific countries. The masking of greenhouse warming by ABCs may in part be the explanation for the lack of a strong warming trend over India since the 1950s during the dry season which runs from January to May. ABCs may explain in part why the warming trend in India's nighttime temperatures is much larger than the trend in daytime temperatures. Annual mean temperatures in mainland China have risen by over one degree C in the past half century. However the trends have not been uniform with the Tibetan Plateau and the north, northeast and northwest of China experiencing the highest temperature rises. Conversely southwest and central eastern China has experienced a strong cooling trend of between 0.1 to 0.3 degrees C per decade. "The combined effects of greenhouse gases, ABCs and rapid urbanization are required to explain the complex pattern of warming and cooling trends in China," says the report. Impacts on Weather Patterns Including the East Asian Monsoon The large heating and cooling effects of ABCs respectively in the atmosphere and at the surface, combined with the impacts of greenhouse gases, may be also triggering sharp shifts in weather patterns.This is being aggravated by dimming over the Northern Indian Ocean versus the relatively clean Southern Indian Ocean setting up new gradients in surface sea temperatures and surface sea evaporation rates.ABCs, along with the global warming may thus be acting to trigger significant drying in northern China and increased risk of flooding in southern China while in part also triggering other environmental and economic effects. Overall decrease in monsoon precipitation over India and Southeast Asia by between five and seven per cent since the 1950s. Since the 1950s the Indian summer monsoon is not only weakening but shrinking with a decrease in early and late season rainfall and a decline in the number of rainy days. In both China and India extreme rain events of more than 100 mm a day have increased. In both India and China very heavy rainfall of more than 150 mm a day has nearly doubled.Impact on Glaciers The Hindu Kush-Himalaya-Tibetan glaciers provide the headwaters for the major river systems including the Ganges, Brahmaputra, Mekong and Yangtze rivers.The Ganges basin is home to over 400 million people and holds 40 per cent of India's irrigated croplands.The Chinese Academy of Sciences estimates that the glaciers have shrunk 5 per cent since the 1950s and the volume of China's nearly 47,000 glaciers has fallen by 3,000 square km over the past quarter century.Glaciers in India such as the Siachen, Gangotri and Chhota Shigiri glaciers are retreating at rates of between 10 and 25 metres a year. The retreat has accelerated in the past three and-a-half decades.The Gangotri glacier alone provides up to 70 per cent of the water in the Ganges. ABC solar heating of the atmosphere, due to the absorption of soot and black carbon pollution "is suggested to be as important as greenhouse gas warming in accounting for the anomalously large warming trend observed in the elevated regions" such as the Himalayan-Tibetan region says the report. Decreased reflection of solar radiation by snow and ice due to increasing deposits of black carbon is emerging as another major contributor to the melting of ice and snow. Elevated regions of the Himalayas within 100 km of Mount Everest experience large black carbon concentrations ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand nanogrammes per cubic metre. Impacts on Agriculture Impacts of ABCs on food production and farmers' livelihoods may be many.However there remains a great deal more research to undertake in terms of crops at risk and the precise role various ABC-linked effects—separately or in combination with those of greenhouse gases—may or may not be having.Possible effects may include Damage to crops as a result of increased ground level ozone. In Europe a threshold concentration at which damage can occur is deemed to be 40 parts per billion The report says that in parts of Asia ground level ozone can reach 50 parts per billion during February to June and peaking again between September and November at 40 parts per billion The studies suggest that growing season mean ozone concentrations in the range 30 - 45 parts per billion could see crop yield losses in the region of 10 - 40 per cent for sensitive cultivars of important Asian crops such as wheat rice and legumes A recent study translated such impacts on yield into annual economic losses estimating that for four key crops—wheat, rice, corn and soya bean—these may amount to around $5 billion a year across China, the Republic of Korea and Japan Other effects may include damage linked with the various acidic and toxic particles from brown clouds depositing on plants from the atmosphere Reduced levels of photosynthesis and thus crop production due to 'dimming' Health Impacts of ABCs Brown clouds contain a variety of toxic aerosols, carcinogens and particles including particulate matter (PM) of less than 2.5 microns in width.These have been linked with a variety of health effects from respiratory disease and cardio-vascular problems. Outdoor exposure: Increases in concentrations of PM 2.5 of 20 microgrammes per cubic metre could lead to about 340,000 excess deaths per year in China and India Indoor exposure: the World Health Organization estimates that over 780,000 deaths in the two countries can be linked to solid fuel use in the home Economic losses due to outdoor exposure to ABC-related PM2.5 has been crudely estimated at 3.6 per cent of GDP in China and 2.2 per cent of GDP in India Notes to Editors Project Atmospheric Brown Cloud was established by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) in 2002 following the documentation of brown clouds and haze by the Indian Ocean Experiment (INDOEX).The science secretariat of ABC is located at the Center for Clouds, Chemistry and Climate, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UCSD.The current project is funded by UNEP with support from the governments of Italy, Sweden and the United States.Atmospheric Brown Clouds: Regional Assessment Report with Focus on Asia can be found at www.unep.orgFor More Information Please Contact Nick Nuttall, UNEP Spokesperson/Head of Media, on Tel: +254 (0) 733 632755; Mobile when travelling +41 79 596 57 37, or E-mail: email@example.com Anne-France White, UNEP Associate Information Officer, on Tel: +254 (0)20 762 3088; Mobile in Kenya: +254 (0)728 600 494, or E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com

I woul dlike to know the additional status which is not current on Giants.com. It seems Barden will not play. Maybe they will have to play Nicks. Giants need a win this week.
Football has been very, very good to us.
Even though 2013-2015 were 3 losing season's, we can console ourselves with this fact-
# of Super Bowl victories since 1985:
1-Chicago, St. Louis, Tampa Bay, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Seattle
2-Washington, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Baltimore
3-San Francisco, Dallas, Denver
4-New York Giants!!! & NE
Let's make it 5 in 2016 so we can be on a LINE all by ourselves again!!!
***Stat provided by "Schloss22"***
I love posts suggesting to fire the strength/conditioning coaches. Hilarious. Injuries happen in football. They happen in football practice. They happen walking up and down stairs. They happen while sleeping.
Until Eli or Cruz becomes visibly fat, I'm good with our current staff. If I was going to complain about anything it would be the artificial surfaces.
Expecting injury-free football is just not realistic.

Mischa Barton
Mischa Barton shot to celebrity status with her role on the OC. Since then Mischa has been trying to break into the movie industry with mixed results. Going the routs of Paris and Kim she has tried to be the cover for tabloids with minimal success.
Mischa Barton has apologized for causing offence by posting a bikini photograph with a message condemning police brutality on Instagram.
The former The O.C. star wrote a post on Thursday (July 7) criticising police brutality and calling for tougher gun control laws following the death of Alton Sterling, who was shot and killed by police officers in Louisiana on Tuesday (July 5).
It's going to be another thrilling season of "Dancing With the Stars" when things get underway on March 21st, and ABC just released the roster and pro pairings this morning (March 8).
For starters, "Fuller House" hottie Jodie Sweetin will dance with Keo Motsepe followed by Ginger Zee and Val Chmerkovskiy, Paige VanZant and Mark Ballas and Mischa Barton and Artem Chigvintsev.
Stepping out in the latest fashion, Mischa Barton did some modeling for Reiss on Saturday (April 26) in West Hollywood.
Letting her blonde locks flow, the "OC" alum wore a flowing, Têca / Helô Rocha Spring/Summer 2014 dress, as the shutterbugs snapped away.
Bringing her suave style to Rome, Mischa Barton made an appearance at a photo call for her new film "Hope Lost" at Casa del Cinema on Saturday (March 15).
Seductive with maroon lipstick, the 29-year-old sported a black and white designer dress, holding a white clutch and sporting a pair of black heels.
They are always hip to the latest fashions, and on Tuesday night (October 22) Hollywood fashionistas were on hand to celebrate the launch of the fashion website, www.DahliaWolf.com, Fashion Made By You in Hollywood.
Among those flocking to the big event, which was held at the Graffiti Cafe, were reality star Audrina Patridge, who stunned in one of the brand's black dresses, and "OC" alum Mischa Barton, who looked lovely in floral.
She's had a career full of ups and downs, and it seems Mischa Barton wasn't wired to handle all the drama she was forced to endure.
The "O.C." actress told People that she actually ended up on a 5150 hold at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center's psychiatric ward after taking a sedative, blacking out, and threatening suicide.
They are always up for an evening out, and on Monday (September 23) stars of all kind came out for the Metropolitan Opera season opening in New York City.
Dressed to the nines in a classic brown dress with a matching cape, Brooke Shields strode past the shutterbugs camped outside the Opera House on her way inside, while Diane Kruger wasn't far behind in a black and white gown with a bright pink belt.
It may be wedding season, but Mischa Barton isn't feeling the love as she's just split with longtime boyfriend Sebastian Knapp.
After meeting at pal Ashley Madekwe's wedding in June 2012, the pair hit it off and started a relationship that lasted until "a few months ago," according to E! News.
She's always up for some publicity, and Mischa Barton sat for a portrait session at the Marc Cain event in Berlin, Germany yesterday (July 4).
The "Beautiful Life" actress looked to be enjoying herself as she worked her magic for the camera in an orange jacket teamed with a white dress as part of the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2014 festivities.
She's not exactly killing it career-wise these days, but that's not stopping Mischa Barton from taking shots at her successful peers.
The "Beautiful Life" actress took to her Twitter page to vent her frustrations over director Sofia Coppola's latest flick "The Bling Ring," based on the celebrity theft spree from a few years back.
