Spoiler!Beards? Really? wow
Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
Holy fuck that old man is crazy! Rly like his character, hope he will play a major role in this arc!
living toys - wapol?
one weird-ass place lol
so green bit has become green pit now, and it seems it's connected to dressrosa, but still a seperate island.
The old dude seems intersting to say the least, and as always with one-piece, u never know what's gonna happen next...
I wonder what DF that is? Would be awesome if he joins the SH :>
Awesome ,
Sanji sneaking with Luffy,Zoro,Franky and Kinemon instead of guarding the ship lollol.
Weird move to put the monster trio + Franky and Kinemon in one team though.. maybe we can expect some great battles in one of the teams!
That unknown man... A former pirate I guess, maybe from the crew of Gol D. Roger (A weird thought, I know.. but its Oda..)
You Become Someone, By Doing Something.
Just.. Epic.
That old man looks alot like Kizaru. Lets see what happens next. If it is him, I really do winder how he lost his sight. I don't think anyone but another admiral or a yonko could take him on and damage him that bad.
LOve the chapter, i like the Gol.D Rodger idea, but he could be the hart that was missing from flamingos card chairs, although those guys might know him if he was... Going back to the admiral thing, he could have been blinded by kizaru... I wonder what his power is. im assuming something to do with gravity, I dont see him as a straw hat... i could however, if he is not part of flamingo or rodgers crew, i could see him tagging along with law at some point. maybe law could fix his eyes... some how...
From what I understand, Law was the heart (hence the heart-pirates).
Could be there is another one now though, it's been a few years after all?
Yes he resembles him, but the dude isn't Kizaru. (pratesh)
I agree however with his ability being somehow gravity-related.
1 thing's for sure, he's pretty bad-ass. Let's just hope he isn't Fujitora.

loved the chapter! Nice DF potentially, I wonder if it is a gravity DF, been wondering when would come about since it would be such a rediculous power if you mastered it! But then it also looked like when he opened his sword the gravity thing happened, so maybe its a power of his sword or he fed the sword a DF like the elephant sword, either way very very cool, Im sure Zoro will be very interested.
I hate dolls, what a creepy island lol
A pie in the sky?

Davisville 1905
"Davisville 1905 - The Year the Town Woke Up" is the title of an exhibit by John Lofland, Professor Emeritus Sociology, and Jim Becket, of the Davis Historical Society, currently mounted in the Special Collections exhibit cases on the first floor of Shields Library.
The exhibit consists of images of both scenes and documents from that time period, with the focus on the town's effort to secure the University Farm site for Davisville. Many of the original documents may be found in Special Collections. Reproductions of columns from the Davisville Enterprise contribute to the display, as Editor William Scott was one of the town's primary boosters. Excerpts from George W. Pierce Jr.'s daily journal and the "Ideal Spot for a University Farm" booklet, are also featured.
In 1905, a committee of seven was appointed by the newly formed Davisville Chamber of Commerce to promote Davisville as the best location for the University Farm. They succeeded where similar committees in nearly seventy communities elsewhere in California failed. Many local citizens subscribed funds for purchase of an option on the 779-acre Sparks-Hamel-Wright tract that was offered to the site selection committee. When their offer was accepted on April 6, 1906, Davisites celebrated with flag flying and fireworks.

Government Orders
1:45 p.m.
Dean Del Mastro Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Canadian Heritage
Mr. Speaker, I listened with some interest to the member. He talked about how he likes lower taxes and so forth, but that was not true in the last election campaign.
That member wholeheartedly supported the green shift massive tax increase on Canadians. That tax increase was why Canadians voted largely against the Liberals. The Liberal massive carbon tax was rejected by Canadians. Everyone remembers that. I do not believe that member has ever actually supported any of the tax cuts that we brought in that have brought tax freedom day 20 days sooner.
A lot of other jurisdictions in Europe, and even the United States under President Obama, have brought tax cuts in for families and individuals and seniors as a method of boosting their economies. The member does not understand that.
He said that he has lost faith in the government and in the finance minister. Euromoney magazine has not lost faith in our finance minister. It named him G7 finance minister of the year. Maybe the member would like to speak to that. It is quite an honour for our finance minister to be acknowledged in such a fashion.
Economic Recovery Act (stimulus)
Government Orders
1:45 p.m.
John McKay Scarborough—Guildwood, ON
Mr. Speaker, I do not know how the hon. member could spend so much time on finance committee and learn so little.
It is very interesting that the finance minister should be awarded anything by any magazine, however obscure. Apparently his competition is not all that serious. The United States has a runaway deficit, trillions of dollars worth of deficit. Relatively speaking, the finance minster is only incompetent as opposed to grossly incompetent.
The point of the hon. member's little intervention was that somehow or another tax freedom day is sooner. There are no free lunches in this world. Tax freedom day may be a day or two sooner, but debt freedom day certainly will be later.
We are going to start going back up that horrible path. We thought we had learned a lesson but apparently we have not. We thought our finances would not resemble those of a third world nation. Apparently that is the fiscal ability of the Conservative government.
Is it therefore any wonder that we in the Liberal Party do not have confidence in the government.
Economic Recovery Act (stimulus)
Government Orders
1:50 p.m.
Dean Del Mastro Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Canadian Heritage
Mr. Speaker, it is obviously a great opportunity to speak today in support of the economic recovery act, an important piece of legislation to enact key parts of Canada's economic action plan, along with other crucial initiatives.
I understand the Liberal Party will vote against this legislation, sight unseen, for no reason other than to force an unnecessary election which no Canadian wants. It is my hope in today's debate, along with colleagues on this side of the House, to show that now is not the time for that sort of self-serving opportunism.
The stakes for Canadians and their families are high. The member for Scarborough—Guildwood does not understand that the stakes for his constituents are high. He mentioned a moment ago that he is surprised I spent so much time on the finance committee and did not get it. He has been on the finance committee a lot longer than I have, in fact he is a former parliamentary secretary to the minister of finance, and he still does not get it. So I guess I still have some time by his scale to get it. Maybe I will catch up, I do not know.
We simply cannot play political games because we cannot jeopardize a recovery with an unnecessary election. Catherine Swift, president of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, warned recently:
We've got some good news.... [W]e've been seeing three months of good recovery...we got the highest confidence level in over two years.... All we need is a stupid election to put things right back in the tank. What we need is certainty. Elections do not produce certainty.
I am going to digress for a minute. I mentioned the Liberal green shift. The Liberal green shift means anything but certainty for business.
Catherine Swift said that what we need is certainty and that elections do not produce certainty. With the economy turning right now, this is a bad time to have it. She said that we are just seeing things come back, that we are just seeing confidence come back.
It is clear that we must stand together with our global partners and stay the course. We must keep our focus squarely on protecting our economy and building on the success of Canada's economic action plan and stabilizing our economy.
As declared in the G20 leaders' statement following the Pittsburgh summit:
Our forceful response helped stop the dangerous, sharp decline in global activity and stabilize financial markets.
A sense of normalcy should not lead to complacency.
The process of recovery and repair remains incomplete. In many countries, unemployment remains unacceptably high. The conditions for a recovery of private demand are not yet fully in place. We cannot rest until the global economy is restored to full health, and hard-working families all over the world can find decent jobs.
Clearly, Canada must stay on track by continuing to implement our economic action plan and its related components, like the economic recovery act. This is fundamental to securing Canada's success in the face of ongoing economic challenges.
As expected, to date, Canadians have risen to face these challenges head on and allowed our economy to outperform where others have struggled. This has lessened the recession's relative impact. A sentiment shared by private sector economists, CIBC World Markets forecast that Canada will lead all industrialized nations in economic growth next year, while RBC economists expect that Canada's recession will turn out to be the least severe of the past three.
Our Conservative government has supported the efforts of Canadians with an unprecedented and timely stimulus contained in Canada's economic action plan, representing $61 billion in effective targeted measures.
Only last week we confirmed in the third report to Canadians on the implementation of the action plan that 90% of its 2009-10 funding is now committed. Canadians will continue to benefit from what is proportionately the largest fiscal stimulus package among all G7 partners with a projected 220,000 jobs being created or maintained by the end of 2010.
As Scotia Capital economist Aron Gampel points out:
The substantial stimulus injected into the economy from both monetary and fiscal measures is beginning to show more signs that the economy is regaining traction, but the full impact will become more visible in the months ahead.
Contrary to the views of the doom and gloom Liberals, there are more encouraging signs that Canada is leading the recovery with our strong fundamentals intact. Indeed, last week the International Monetary Fund, IMF, forecast that Canada will be the least affected by the global downturn and that our recovery will be the strongest in the G7.
Contrast that with what we are hearing from the Liberal members. We are not hearing these things. They are talking down the Canadian recovery. They are talking down the Canadian economy. For whatever reason, they do not want to see things recover in Canada because they think that hurts their political fortunes. Canadians do not care about the Liberals' political fortunes. What they care about is their families and their jobs. They want Canada to work. They want parties working together provincially and federally. They want municipalities to be engaged. That is what our government is doing. It is not what the Liberal Party supports, by the way.
Nevertheless, Canada and the global economy will continue to be challenged. As noted in the G20 leaders' statement, we have yet to sustain a full private sector supported recovery. Likewise, as IMF managing director Dominique Strauss-Kahn conceded recently, even though we are seeing tentative signs of recovery it remains fragile. I quote, "I want to be crystal clear. Until unemployment will decrease, it is difficult to say the crisis is over. It is too early to crow victory".
Without a doubt we are at a critical juncture. If we hope to stabilize our economy and secure this recovery, we must stay the course and stay focused on the economy. Parliamentarians of all stripes can accomplish that, not by throwing Canada into an unnecessary election, but by passing the economic recovery act into law on a timely basis.
The economic recovery act is a complex and multifaceted piece of legislation with many components that have been highlighted by previous speakers.
For the remainder of my allotted time, I would like to focus on the reforms to strengthen the Canada pension plan, or CPP, that are included in the economic recovery act. However, before continuing, I should point out that the CPP is a jointly managed federal-provincial plan. Neither the federal government nor provincial governments can unilaterally alter the CPP.
The reforms laid out in the legislation were unanimously agreed to by federal, provincial and territorial governments this past May as part of a mandated triennial review of the Canada pension plan. Moreover, these reforms were made public at that time, available for all to review.
Before these reforms can take place, they must be officially approved, not only by Parliament, but by two-thirds of the provinces with two-thirds of the population of Canada. Moreover, the approved changes will start to take effect in 2011 and will be gradually implemented with all the changes expected to be in effect fully by 2016.
In short, the reforms agreed to by federal, provincial and territorial governments are intended to modernize the CPP to better reflect the many different paths people take to retirement today.
As Patricia Lovett-Reid, host of Money Talk, a popular Canadian personal finance television show and senior vice-president with TD Waterhouse Canada, noted that the CPP reforms speak "to the fact that we are living healthier and longer".
Increased flexibility will be offered through the removal of work cessation tests that require individuals who apply to take their CPP benefit early, i.e., before age 65, to either stop work or reduce their earnings. The economic recovery act will remove the work cessation test in 2012 so that individuals will be able to take their benefit as early as age 60 without any work interruption or reduction in hours worked or earnings. This change will benefit those who would like to take their CPP pension while continuing to work either full or part time and could help individuals to use income from their CPP to phase in retirement or supplement their earnings.
Such a proposed reform has been particularly welcomed, as an Edmonton Journal editorial applauding it noted:
--the prospect that thousands will be able to discern a horizon when they can not only choose to be gainfully employed but also collect on a pension they paid into for years must come as some relief....
Older Canadians are healthier than ever and getting even fitter. If they want or need to continue to make a material contribution to the nation's productivity, they mustn't be discouraged.
Increased CPP benefits for a number of Canadians will continue through an increase in general lowering dropout which currently allows for 15% of the years where earnings are low or nil for whatever reason, to be dropped from calculations used to determine an individual's CPP retirement pension amount. The economic recovery act will gradually enhance the retirement pension calculation to allow up to an additional year of low earnings to be dropped from the pension calculation. By 2014, it will allow a maximum of eight years to be dropped.
This will benefit virtually all CPP contributors and improve their basic retirement pensions. It will also increase the average CPP disability and survivor pensions, as a calculation of these benefits would be based on the retirement benefit calculation.
It would be particularly helpful to those whose careers suffer more work interruptions for a variety of reasons like those who pursue post-secondary studies or other educational opportunities, those who reduce their participation in the labour force to provide care to a family member, or those who immigrate to Canada as adults.
Respected Sun media financial advice columnist Alan Caplan approved this reform noting:
It's intended to smooth out the earnings history for each pensioner who stopped working. The reasons vary, but may include job loss, further education, illness or care giving and child rearing. Almost everyone benefits from the provision.

Calgary Northeast

2 p.m.
Devinder Shory Calgary Northeast, AB
Mr. Speaker, in my Eid Milan meeting with the Muslim community in Calgary Northeast, the community informed me that the overwhelming majority of the people of Pakistan stand for peace, prosperity, human rights, the rule of law and democracy. I once again publicly wish Pakistani Canadians and our Muslim friends a happy Eid ul-Fitr.
The community also applauded the fact that the Prime Minister attended the meeting of the Friends of Democratic Pakistan with President Obama, Prime Minister Brown and President Zardari.
I also wish to recognize and congratulate Calgary police constables Charanjit Meharu and Kevin Leard in the House today for achieving the life saving award. While responding to a late night domestic assault, through their quick actions they saved the life of a female victim who was no longer breathing.
I call on all sides of the House to commend these heroes and also to work with our Conservative government in placing a priority on the rights of Canadian victims, including victims of domestic violence.
La Francophonie Games
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Raymonde Folco Laval—Les Îles, QC
Mr. Speaker, I would like to draw the attention of the House to the tremendous success of the Jeux de la Francophonie, which are wrapping up today in Lebanon, and to our many achievements there. The event was an opportunity for athletes from around the world who share the same values and the same language, namely, French, to get together for some friendly competition in the spirit of peace.
Canadian athletes and artists were grouped together on the following teams: Canada; Canada-Quebec; and Canada-New Brunswick. Their achievements have been outstanding. They are returning with gold medals in sporting events such as men's and women's judo and table tennis, discus and decathlon in men's track and field, 4x100-metre relay in women's track and field, as well as in artistic competitions such as stories and storytelling, photography and sculpture. They won over 50 medals and have given us many reasons to be proud.
I would like to offer my most sincere congratulations to all the athletes and artists representing Canada during these Games, and I wish them every success in their future endeavours.
Natural Disasters in Southeast Asia
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Jean Dorion Longueuil—Pierre-Boucher, QC
Mr. Speaker, Southeast Asia has been hard hit in the past few days by a series of weather disasters that have battered the region.
Many countries, including the Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia and Cambodia, have been struck by typhoons, earthquakes, tsunamis or floods that have left behind thousands of victims, including many children.
The major humanitarian NGOs have worked hard in order to help those affected, but their help alone is not enough. Much work lies ahead in order to provide access to food and drinking water, hygiene kits, makeshift shelters, and electricity.
I am calling on the federal government to step up its efforts to help the communities recover quickly from these storms. Like the thousands of Quebeckers who have joined forces for this cause and on behalf of all my colleagues in the Bloc Québécois, I want to tell the victims of these tragic events that they are in my thoughts.
Nobel Prize in Physics
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Megan Leslie Halifax, NS
Mr. Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I rise in this honourable House to congratulate Willard Boyle of Halifax, co-winner of this year's Nobel prize in physics.
Mr. Boyle was notified earlier today that he will share the 2009 prize along with two Americans for their work on an imaging semiconductor circuit known as the CCD sensor, the eye of digital cameras and delicate surgical instruments.
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences stated that CCD revolutionized photography, as light could now be captured electronically instead of on film. Without this technology, seeing the surface of Mars would not have been a possibility.
I am sure that all members of the House will join me in congratulating Mr. Boyle for this incredible achievement. It is a proud day for Halifax, a proud day for Nova Scotia, and a proud day for Canada.
Mental Illness Awareness Week
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Ron Cannan Kelowna—Lake Country, BC
Mr. Speaker, I would like to remind everyone that October 4 to 10 is Mental Illness Awareness Week.
With nearly one in five Canadians affected, most of us know someone who is struggling and we all need to work hard to reduce the stigma surrounding mental illness through education and understanding. There is no health without mental health.
Tomorrow, here in Ottawa, the seventh annual champions of mental health awards will celebrate the contributions of influential Canadians who have demonstrated extraordinary commitment and leadership in advancing mental illness awareness and mental health policy, research, services or funding in Canada through activities and actions.
Mr. Speaker, I urge you to lend your support and encourage each member to take a few minutes to contact the fine folks at their local Canadian Mental Health Association.
For my constituents in Kelowna—Lake Country, a free public forum in the Knowledge is Power Series is being held this Thursday at our local Canadian Mental Health Association office at 504 Sutherland Avenue, from 5:30 p.m. until 7:30 p.m.
Together we can help each other.
Nobel Prize in Physics
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Geoff Regan Halifax West, NS
Mr. Speaker, I join my colleague from Halifax in honouring a Canadian who has done us all proud by winning this year's Nobel prize in physics. Willard S. Boyle, born in Amherst, Nova Scotia, will share the prize with two others for his groundbreaking achievements in developing the sensor that is widely used in digital cameras.
Although Mr. Boyle spent many years working in the U.S., he has deep roots in this country, starting in Nova Scotia and then moving to Quebec and Kingston, before making a name for himself at the Bell Labs in New Jersey. It was there that, among his many accomplishments, he and George E. Smith invented the sensor that is being honoured today.
After retiring in 1979, he returned home to Nova Scotia. Mr. Boyle is a great example of a Canadian contributing his unique talents to the world while remaining a proud and patriotic citizen of this country. Congratulations, Mr. Boyle.
Climate Change
Statements By Members
October 6th, 2009 / 2:05 p.m.
Michael Chong Wellington—Halton Hills, ON
Mr. Speaker, climate change is one of the great threats facing humanity. The IPCC has said that the science is unequivocal and UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has said that climate change is "the defining challenge of our age".
Our government has made a strong commitment to reduce Canada's emissions by 20%, from 2006 levels, by 2020, only 10 short years from now. As the global set of climate change talks in Copenhagen approaches, I call on the international community to negotiate in good faith so that a new binding agreement on climate change can be achieved.
The issue is urgent. The time to act is now. The challenge of a warming planet is not only critical for the environment but also a judgment on whether global institutions like the United Nations can act collectively to solve the world's problems.
I ask all to support and encourage our government as it negotiates this new international agreement so that we can achieve change for our children and grandchildren.
Christopher Garneau

Carole Freeman Châteauguay—Saint-Constant, QC
Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate Corporal Christopher Garneau, of Saint-Constant, who was awarded the medal of excellence by the Chief of Defence Staff, on September 10, for performing his duties with distinction.
Corporal Garneau is a military policeman and a member of the operational mentor and liaison team of the Kandahar provincial reconstruction team. This group is responsible for training Afghan police, strengthening local governance and is also fighting for access to education for the Afghan people.
It is clear to the Bloc Québécois that the Canadian mission in Afghanistan must show concern for the plight of the Afghan people all the while focusing more on humanitarian aid and reconstruction and development efforts. Corporal Garneau is doing just that.
For that reason, on behalf of the citizens of my riding, I congratulate Corporal Christopher Garneau.

Jean-Claude D'Amours Madawaska—Restigouche, NB
Mr. Speaker, it gives me great pride to congratulate Suzanne Bélanger, a citizen of my riding of Madawaska—Restigouche, who has been awarded a Prime Minister's Award for Excellence in Early Childhood Education.

She makes an effort to instill in these children a sense of pride in their roots and in the achievements of their ancestors, while awakening their desire to discover the modern world in which we live.
Ms. Bélanger is well known for her energy, creativity and work ethic. We are fortunate to have someone so passionate caring for and educating this young generation.
On behalf of the citizens of Madawaska—Restigouche, I would like to congratulate and above all thank Ms. Bélanger for her contribution to our communities. We are all very proud of the work she does.

First and foremost, he is a man of compassion and conviction, a man whose vision centres around the interests of the nation, which makes him a strong leader. We are not like the Liberal Party, which can only think of holding rallies to plunge Canada into an election, purely out of self-interest.
In these tough economic times, others are proposing cuts to government and higher taxes for Quebeckers and Canadians.
Our government is stimulating the economy and working with political, economic and social stakeholders to find solutions. It is important to us that ordinary people have their place in society and that, together, we contribute to our country's success.
To me, that is what we call a strong Quebec within a united Canada. I am proud to pay tribute to the leadership of our Prime Minister.

Haven't noticed a difference yet, been using these twice a day for two weeks. Optimistic though, going to at least finish the bottle. There have been no negative effects and I feel my body may still be adjusting to my workouts and taking these pills. I would say to give them a try. Fast shipping and excellent customer service.

Bryan and Kathleen Clements
Bryan is the son of Merland Delbert Clements and Vera Annie Clements Porter. He was born on April 16, 1948 in Idaho Falls, Idaho, where he grew up. He attended Ricks College in Rexburg, Idaho, 1967-1968 where he met Kathleen Ann Gardner. They married in 1970. They were married in June of 1970, in the Idaho Falls LDS Temple. At this time he was attending Brigham Young University. They lived in the Orem and Pleasant Grove areas while he was finishing his education with a bachelor's degree in industrial arts education.
In December 1973, Bryan, Kathleen and their two daughters Laurel and April moved to Emery County to accept a teaching position at South Emery Junior High , as the Industrial Arts instructor. Their children are Laurel (Shane) Nielsen of Castle Dale; April (Kenneth) Lake of Spanish Fork; Richelle (Will) Sorensen of Garland; Evan (Felice) Clements of Payson; and Elder John Clements is serving in the Michigan Detroit Mission.
In 1975, Bryan was asked by Mrs. Hammond, the nurse practitioner who worked at the Castle Dale Clinic, to take the emergency medical technician training in Provo. At the time there was only one EMT in the whole county, who drove the ambulance that doubled as the county hearse.
Bryan took the training, driving 150 miles to Provo and back, with two other men from the county. There were 100 people in his class where they spent every weekend for the next ten weeks of the course. The day the course ended, Bryan came home and went on his first ambulance run. These three EMTs covered from the Emery County border near Price to I-70 in the south.
Since becoming an EMT Bryan's time has never been his own. He has always been available to go on the ambulance and to help in any way needed. He has often left his family at whatever activity they were at to respond to the calls for the ambulance. It is a joke in the family that if there is ever an accident in the family we have to call for an EMT because Dad is always gone helping someone else.
Bryan became an EMT Instructor in 1976 and also a CPR Instructor. He has been an instructor almost as long as he has been an EMT. He helped with the organization of the Carbon/Emery EMT Association, when both counties were just beginning to use EMTs and the need was so great for their help. Then when each county felt their growth was sufficient they split the organization. Then Bryan helped to organize the Emery County EMT Association. He has always supported this group in any way he could, he has served as president three times, vice president and training officer for untold years. He has always encouraged and worked to maintain the very highest level of qualifications for the EMTs in our area.
Bryan has taught the First Aid Classes for the Emery Mining Company and also for the Utah Power and Light Company. He has encouraged many people to enhance their training and become EMTs to serve the county. He has taught many EMT courses, for Emery Mining Corp., and other companies helping to build their safety programs.
Bryan has been a member of the Utah State EMS testing team since they were organized This means that he travels throughout the state to test students who are trying to become EMTs. He has been the ambulance coordinator for the cities of Orangeville and Castle Dale since 1986. He taught the class, "What to do until the ambulance arrives," for many years at the Emery High School, when it was a part of the health classes. He also helped at the junior highs in their health classes teaching a basic first-aid class.
Bryan has given countless hours in volunteer work, through teaching first-aid, to relief society groups, girl scout groups, the boy scouts and LDS young women groups. He has been the boy scout first aid and emergency preparedness merit badge counselor in the area for many years. He also helped organize and set up some of our community health fairs.
He was involved with first aid being on the Emery Mining mine rescue teams and competing on several regional and national levels, even winning the National Championships two years in a row. He was also a trainer for the mine rescue team, who were called to assist in the rescue efforts during the Wilberg Mine disaster.
In 1989, Bryan was awarded the John Henry Award for an outstanding EMT in the state of Utah by the Utah Association of Emergency Medical Technicians. He has kept his certificate current for all of these years by retesting every two to three years. In 2000 he received his certificate of 25 years of service from the State of Utah Association of EMTs. Bryan's family is very proud of him and the service he has rendered to Emery County and the state.
Bryan's plea is we need more EMTs in our county to maintain the now existing crews. The EMTs cover both day and night twenty-four hours. There is always a need for good concerned dedicated people to give this service. He appreciates the service of the EMTs through the years in Emery County. They have enhanced the value of all of our lives everyday by their great caring service.

Every congressman and senator, before you waste your vote, you should be asked if you are in favor of repealing the War Powers Act. This act was a temporary measure and should have been done away with in the year 1946.
No congressman can gripe until they do away with this emergency act which gives the administrative branch of government the power to go to war, but like I said, it should have been repealed after World War II.
We now have a war every time we elect a new president.
Now that we are in this war, it must be won. If we had elected John, we would be in a war with Venezuela over catsup factories.

Skip to comments.Is Obama Eligible to Participate in the Presidential Debates? (Vanity
Posted on 10/06/2012 6:36:41 PM PDT by JewishRighter
There has been plenty of discussion of the presidential debates: moderators, topics, format and so on. While I was lurking on one such thread here on FR tonight, it occurred to me to look for information about how they are setting up the upcoming town hall debate on October 16 by going to the website of the Commission on Presidential Debates. While there, I came across a section regarding eligibility to participate in the debates and lo and behold, they require the participants to be Natural Born Citizens and the rest of the constitutional qualifications to run for President. See here:
Now, here's the money question: Is it possible to launch a challenge to Obama's participation in the debates? Would doing so have any better chance of success because of the different forum and procedural circumstances? IOW, this would not be a ballot challenge subject to the same standing issues and statutory roadblocks that differed from state to state? Would it be worthwhile as a means of putting added pressure on 0's debate prep? Does anyone have a suggestion about sending this to one of the organizations or people who have made previous challenges?
Get a grip. Obama is going to be defeated at the ballot box, not through any birther move.
No matter what we say or think, he's president until the supremes say otherwise or he loses next month.
Grab a beer, some chips and watch bad TV and for heaven sakes stop thinking.
This is a big face plant.
Not very soothing, Dave. But I'm not presenting this as a "birther move". I'm suggesting that a blow could be dealt to the Obama campaign at a very critical juncture. Besides which, as much as I pray to see him defeated at the ballot box, I see no reason not to bring every challenge, every obstacle and do anything else possible to make sure he is defeated.
Ouch. Except the beer part. That sounds good.
I'm not a birther in the sense that I believe Obama was not born in the States, but I think the Natural Born Citizen question is valid and begs for an answer. Besides which, I'd like to see as much flak thrown up against his campaign as possible.
I agree with that, JR.
We need to educate people on this subject.
Isn't this an opportunity to do some edumacating?
Well....except that zero claimed to have been born in Kenya when writing his personal info for his literary agent. This claim only started disappearing when he began running for POTUS. Clearly he was lying somewhere...
It's a non starter.
Ok, have a beer and enjoy the evening.
Just fixed my husband a cheese tray and a glass of wine...so off the join him, nice evening so we will be enjoying the still summer weather (even though its fall - yea for global warming ;-).
You're right. I'm sure the League of Women Voters will step in 30 days before the election to declare Obama ineligible. And then he will resign in disgrace and everyone will come to know the truth.
Can I have some of what you're smoking?
Don't distract the voters with nonsense. Even if you're right, the issue has been heard and rejected by the public. You make yourself look foolish.
Convince people to vote for Romney. Forget about this stuff. It's never going to happen.
It would have the result of the Uneducated "experts" proving to the public that people who have actually researched this and who know what they are talking about are "wrong."
Sometimes you just have to run from a mob instead of trying to reason with them.
What qualification were you wondering about?
Thank you for taking the time and effort to thoughtfully read and research this interesting point of law.
Larry Klayman has sent a copy of his letter to DNC Counsel Bob Bauer to every member of the Commission on Presidential Debates via certified mail. They have all been informed by an attorney that HI state registrar Alvin Onaka has confirmed that the White House BC image is a forgery and that the real HI record is legally non-valid. A bunch of these people are lawyers so they know the legal reasoning is sound and Obama cannot be known to be eligible. The CPD rules actually require that there be EVIDENCE of eligibility, meaning that the burden of proof is on Obama.
But the fact of the matter is that this is a private entity and they don't have to follow their own rules, just like the DNC is a private entity and doesn't have to follow their own rules.
The difference is that when Bob Bauer submits to a state Secretary of State for a legal purpose (placement on a ballot) a Certification of Nomination that he knows is perjurious and fraudulent, that ventures into LEGAL territory, and that is subornation of perjury and also election fraud.
If we have any rule of law left in this country, Bob Bauer will be facing 50 counts of subornation of perjury and 50 counts of fraud.
The legal department of NE SOS John Gale told me in a phone call that even if Bob Bauer, Alice Travis Germond, and Antonio Villaigarosa were sitting in jail convicted of perjury and fraud for that Certification, Obama's name would still be on the ballot because NE statute doesn't specifically state that the filing papers have to be LAWFUL.
What that means is that criminal counts against Bob Bauer cannot in any way, shape, or form be considered "political", since it has no impact on a political candidate. This was a civilian attorney who presented for a legal purpose a document he knew to be perjurious and fraudulent. He needs to be brought to justice. If he is not, we have just handed over the country to whatever thug has the audacity to do whatever he darn well pleases.
The election will play out as it will; we're beyond the ability to do anything about that. Let's get Obama defeated.
But in the meantime we need to send a message to the criminals - and I mean that in EVERY sense of the word - who have allowed him to be on the ballots by forgery, perjury, threats and harassment, murder, and deception: "The rule of law matters, and we will NOT sit idly by while the whole system screws us. The colonists compiled a list of grievances and we are compiling our own lists. Don't tread on us, or you will regret the loss of the rule of law. Once the little people have nothing left to lose, all bets are off. Think seriously about that and choose your words and actions very, very carefully."
forget trying to push any point of what a NBC is ... just push the requirement to submit documentation
they CANNOT say any of the candidates are NBC unless they've been presented the documentation
have him submit it ... at which point he will have committed forgery and fraud
of course, I'd prefer he submit it to some division of elections somewhere... then he'd have committed felony forgery
Needs repeating, and loudly.
Not even the SCOTUS could take away his presidency, that's the function of Impeachment.
I am glad to see others with the opinion that the notion of Obama *not* legally being president is a non-starter.
As to the OP, Obama won the electoral college, was affirmed by congress and sworn in by the CJOTSCOTUS — which rendered any notion of him not being eligible moot. The only thing left was for a state by state fight on eligibility for being on the ballot.
Since Obama is not Constitutionally eligible for office, he wouldn't have to be impeached. Impeachment is for high crimes and misdemeanor. Ineligible is simply that ... ineligible, so yes, the court with the power to resolve controversies that arise under the Constitution could remove an ineligible occupant.
Like butterdezillion said, the debates are run by a private entity and they would rather ignore their own rules than declare PRESIDENT Obama I eligible.
What I find so frustrating is that in 25 years, the hottest e-book on the beach will be President Ineligible, the tell all political tome that lets the American people know that not only was Barack Obama a stealth candidate, paid for by enemies of the country , gay, and Muslim, but he also was never formally a US citizen and not eligible for the Presidency. And everyone will be stunned and shocked.
BTW, to ignore the fact of Obama's Kenyan birth, (see British Kenya Colonial Records), is to repeat the same error that McCain made in 2008.
That gave Obama the election victory in 2008. Romney is on track to do the same for the same reason. DUH!
He won the electoral college, he was *CERTIFIED* by congress and sworn in by the CJOTSCOTUS.
*CERTIFIED* would include, the vote tallies where correct, The House and The Senate concurred and approved and deemed him eligible. People forget that Congress has the final say in seating the President Elect and they can and have refused.
Because it would reflect poorly on the Romney campaign and probably lose the election for him.
It would detract from the salient arguments — That Obama Sucked as a President.
Would be very bad timing and probably work to Zero's advantage by making it look like Romney was getting desperate when it's actually the other way around.
Had the PhonyCons and RINOs followed the Constitution and legal precedent...we would not have an Obama 2d term....as he would not have run for 2d term
Instead, Obama-Supporter RINOs attacked Obama Eligibility people ("Birthers") instead of going after Obama.
And, after Sheriff Joe Arpaio and his posse confirmed the 2011 released Obama Birth Certificate is a "fraud"....if you are not a Birther by now...you are pretty much an Obama Supporter.
BTW, to ignore the fact of Obamas Kenyan birth, (see British Kenya Colonial Records), is to repeat the same error that McCain made in 2008.
That gave Obama the election victory in 2008. Romney is on track to do the same for the same reason. DUH!
Yes, absolutely correct
Scary how many people on here are willing to give Obama a pass on the Eligibility issue. What other things are they willing to give Obama a pass on?
You're correct. Which is why I should have mentioned that this should NOT come from the Romney campaign or from anyone who could be identified as a surrogate.
That's an excellent point, but see my previous post. This should not come from the Romney campaign for the reason you stated.
About the salient argument argument, I agree. That should be the Romney line. I would even encourage his campaign to disavow the effort to attack Obama's standing to participate in the debates.
The issue of the definition of natural born citizen needs a supreme court decision. It's part of the constitution and needs to be addressed for this president, given the citizenship of his father.
The issue was not addressed during the last nomination and election process. How long does it need to be an open question before the USSC will meet its responsibilities?
The question of location of his birth has not been proven with any degree of openness. Given that he posted what some experts say is a forged document, it it still unanswered. The president needs to authorize the state of Hawaii to open the record for public scrutiny.
You may be okay with leaving these questions unanswered. Those of us who seek the truth and definitive meanings to the constitution are not. The truth is more important that accepting the last election as some type of definitive answer. That was done in 1960 and we should never settle for that.
The other files should be opened also, but I don't see that as a constitutional issue. However, if it sheds some light on citizenship then they are also critical.
If you don't need more information that so be it, but step aside while those of us who call for it continue to pursue the truth to our satisfaction. As long as information and decisions are not provided, these questions will be open and the country is worse off for it.
Factually correct, contextually wrong. Obama has been certified a natural born citizen by the very act of certifying and seating him as president.
"The issue was not addressed during the last nomination and election process. How long does it need to be an open question before the USSC [SIC] will meet its responsibilities?"
Wrong. Every State Attorney General accepted and agreed that Obama was eligible by their acceptance of his nomination and placement on the Ballot. This issue did not occur in a vacuum as these accusations were started well before Obama's election.
"The question of location of his birth has not been proven with any degree of openness".
Meaningless because of the use of opinion. I can't find a legal definition of 'degree of openness' other than it's Utilitarianism, and -ism subject to it's own argument
"You may be okay with leaving these questions unanswered".
I am not okay with it. I just realize that there is only one constitutional way to remove Obama from the Presidency and that is impeachment. Article 2 section 4 USCON.
I did support efforts to deem him ineligible for the next election, but all those avenues have failed before the courts, multiple times, multiple ways and in every state his eligibility has been challenged.
I believe that this effort has been a failure precisely because the issue has been relegated to the fringe category by those that could have done something but must keep their distance from those trying to 'brute force' the issue with unrealistic expectations and fabrications.
"The truth is more important that accepting the last election as some type of definitive answer. That was done in 1960 and we should never settle for that".
Otherwise known as *pissing* in the sand box. There is a difference between not liking and rational disbelief and 'not liking' has been the loudest voice of this movement and tainted those of us with rational disbelief.
"The other files should be opened also, but I dont see that as a constitutional issue. However, if it sheds some light on citizenship then they are also critical".
Agreed the judgement on Obama's business and political and decision making acumen is the purvey of the court of public opinion. Those are private documents and and the candidate can choose to release or withhold as they deem fit.
Theses actions and vetting could not have occurred properly because the documents necessary to make informed decisions were not available. Just because Nancy Pelosi signs a form does not make Obama eligible for office. Attorneys Generals do not do that, it falls to the secretaries of State. Example the Cal SoS denied Eldridge Cleaver ballot access when his birth certificate showed he was too young. However, the current one did not demand that Obama submit his even in the face of allegations he was not a citizen.
You can tell me all you want about the election process, but I don't know how you can conclude it was thorough.
I can list other counters to your points, but am not going to parse allof your statements.
The fact that there is serious disagreement indicates a need for the actions that I described to be taken.
There ave been numerous threads here just since I came on board. It is easy to argue both sides.
What is needed is some transparency, court action, and for people to demand it.
As for the rest, I've made my argument, you've made yours. That's the American way.
Best wishes.
This doesn't mean he was ever Constitutionally eligible. You're trying to rely on circular logic, when it simply means nothing.
*CERTIFIED* would include, the vote tallies where correct, The House and The Senate concurred and approved and deemed him eligible.
They did NOTHING to "deem" Obama to be Constitutionally eligible. Certifying a count of electoral votes is irrelevant to whether or not Obama meets Article II requirements. Again, the courts have the Constitutional power to resolve controversies that arise under the Constitution. This means the courts have the power to declare any candidate/occupant to be ineligible for office.
Anyone can pResident according to you. Did Congress or the Supremes commit a criminal act?
The court cannot remove the President. <-— That's a big fat period. Article 2 section 4 USCON.
Congress certified Obama's eligibility de facto by certifying the election. each State's Secretary of state certified Obama eligible de facto by putting him on the ballot. They are the arbiters of eligibility, not the Judicial Branch and certainly not either you or I.
I don't believe it has been extensively 'heard' by the public because of media shutoff. However. I will say with some agreement that it has been 'heard' by many people looking to have Obama out of office and it would be my guess that the 'birther' issue has become or should be a serious matter because it is a Constitutional issue that involves more than the present election; especially with the Nation being inundated with persons who do not know or care if our Constitution is relevant.
You're still not getting it. The court has the power to resolve controversies that arise under the Constitution. Eligibility certainly falls with the scope of such a controversy. This isn't the same as impeachment. The stuff about Congress certifying the electoral vote does NOT resolve whether or not Obama meets Article II eligibility. Second, Congress is not given a specified power to be the so-called "arbiters of eligibility." It would be a conflict of interest because a partisan Congress can simply ignore the issue (which is what has happened anyway). It still does NOT take away the court's Constitutional power to resolve controversies that arise under the Constitution. A de facto officer can be removed for being ineligible. It's not an impeachment but more of an annulment.
I get it, you don't.
This isn't under the Constitution, this is the Constitution
Article 2 section 4. Besides, there is always that pesky Marbury V. Madison.
The court has no power to remove the President. The court can find anything it wants about the president, whether he's a serial pediophile or ineligible, but only congress can remove him.
De facto vs De Jure, I told you to look it up.
Yes, politics is partisan and they certainly can and have had problems Yes, the House elected a President twice. Thomas Jefferson in 1801 and in 1825 it elected John Quincy Adams
Conflict of interest because they can ignore the issue? — A laughable assertion since it is Congress's prerogative to act. This is done via Vote and articles of impeachment.
What are your plans? Sue Congress because they won't impeach the President? Make the SCOTUS issue a writ of Mandamus to compel Congress to impeach the President? Because that is in a nutshell what your argument is, it's so preposterous that it's been laughed out of court, laughed at in public and has aided the opposition in belittling the eligibility argument to the point that NO CREDIBLE action will ever take place.
There are 50 Secretary's of States that have determined Obama's eligibility — Who are you to say otherwise.
Read Marbury V. Madison and find out for yourself what the court thinks of your type of arguments.
This is a lot of consternation without actually making a point. If you think there's something relevant in Marbury v. Madison, then give the citaiton. I'm not going on a goose chase to try to make an argument. And I know the difference between de facto and de jure. Obama fits the former, not the latter. The court has ruled that such persons are not protected.
Marbury v. Madison
Excerpt from the pedia entry
"The United States Constitution does not explicitly establish the power of judicial review. Rather, the power of judicial review has been inferred from the structure, provisions, and history of the Constitution"
That's what Marbury v. Madison is about.
That was in response to your assertion that the Constitution gives the SCOTUS this mythical power to remove a President.
And no, you don't know what de facto and de jure are or your denying them in order to deny that Congress by certifying the election and 50 States Secretary of States allowing Obama on the ballot amounts to a de facto approval of eligibility.
There. Fixed it for you.
The judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising under this Constitution, the Laws of the United States, and Treaties made, or which shall be made, under their Authority;--to all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls;--to all Cases of admiralty and maritime Jurisdiction;--to Controversies to which the United States shall be a Party;--to Controversies between two or more States;-- between a State and Citizens of another State,--between Citizens of different States,--between Citizens of the same State claiming Lands under Grants of different States, and between a State, or the Citizens thereof, and foreign States, Citizens or Subjects.
In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction.
"Judicial review" is about deciding the Constitutionality of laws. We're not talking about the Constitutionality of a law. And, we're not talking about an impeachment because that would require a "de jure" president, not a "de facto" president. Here are definitions of "de jure" and "de facto" to help you comprehend this issue accurately:
An officer de jure is a person who is legally appointed to exercise the functions of an office. A person will be appointed as an officer de jure if s/he fulfills the required qualifications to hold the office.
Do you see the underlined part about "required qualifications"??? Obama does NOT have those required qualifications because he is not a natural-born citizen.
"an officer de facto is one whose acts, though not those of a lawful officer, the law, upon principles of policy and justice, will hold valid so far as they involve the interests of the public and third persons, where the duties of the office were exercised ...
All that "de facto" means is that a person held an office, but was not necessarily qualified to hold that office. His or her acts would be upheld as lawful acts, but that person is not immune from being removed from office nor is that person entitled to be treated as a lawful occupant of that office. Just because the states gave "de facto approval" does NOT make Obama Constitionally eligible for office under Article II of the Constitution. If Obama was a "de jure" president, he would have to be impeached. Because he is only a "de facto" president, his illegitimate occupation of the office could be annulled by a court.
Not only does your argument subordinate the POTUS to the SCOTUS — which the Constitution takes great pains to avoid, it also usurps the power and duty assigned to Congress.
And your a little light on your analysis of Marbury v. Madison. You did original claim that it was "Judicial Review" that gave the power to remove the President.
Why don't you draw me a road map where SCOTUS removes POTUS without impeachment.
Make it plain and simple, step by step with cites to the Constitution.
You can't because they all end with Article 2 section 4.
And no, you still don't get de facto and de jure. Your main impediment is that you keep on confusing law with the Constitution. They are not the same.
And I'm done beating this dead horse with you. Reality is on my side.
There is no 'grand conspiracy', there just isn't a mechanism in place that does what you want to believe is doable.

Pretty but painful
"Got these shoes for a wedding I'm going to be a bridesmaid in. They are very pretty and look great on, but they are very narrow in the toes and even though I have been breaking them in for a week now, they are still painful. These would be fine for a dinner date, but not for being in all day and then dancing on the dance floor in. I'm the kind of girl who can work in heels for 8hrs a day and these would not do it for me."

Beautiful Shoes
"I ordered these in ivory for my wedding. They are really beautiful and seem well made. They feel true to size but are a little too high for me, and uncomfortable/unsteady so I'm returning them, unfortunately. I'm giving them a 3-star for the quality and style because they are very, very pretty. Maybe someone who is used to higher heels could wear them more easily!"

The crew races to future Rome to unearth the shocking secret of Leonardo da Vinci.
Euclid, Copernicus, Braino--
and my personal role model,Leonardo da Vinci.
What turned them to stone?
(groans): Oh...
Da Vinci was history's greatestartist and inventor.
He invented flying machines,
war engines, submarines...
Uh-oh. Nibbler died in the wall.
That's not Nibbler. That's mymost precious possession.
Leonardo's beard!
I paid a fortune for it at anauction of historic body parts.
Oh, I suppose if I have anAchilles' heel,
it's because I bought it atthat same auction.
Indeed so.
Most indeededly.
Careful withthat, you fool!
But possibly yes.
What is it Professor?
Oh, my!
It's da Vinci's fabledlost invention.
Even the scholars who wrote
of this device had noidea what it was for.
And now, at last, neither do I!
Maybe we can figure it out.
We? (laughs)
Well, I may not havebrain smarts,
PROFESSOR:My God!
It's the Pantheon!
LEELA:This place is 3,000 years old.
What could possiblybe left to discover?
Maybe somethingabout ourselves, Leela.
Wait! What's underthat blanket?
My God!Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man!
It's trulya masterpiece.
Note how the perspective linesdraw the eye right to his dong.
Say, what's this?
Anyone hear something?
It's a coin slot.
Bender, insertthat giant nickel.
Hush, Bender!
What's your game,Vitruvian Man?
PROFESSOR: I withdraw thequestion, Vitruvian Man.
Da Vinci's lost workshop.
At the risk of sounding stupid,
do these things actually work?
Of course not, stupid!
I mean-- that flying machine'sas aerodynamic as a sofa!
How could it possibly get offthe ground?
In a way thou shaltne'er discover!
(all gasping)
Hi, Animatronio.
I feign ath and stalk thee,
that I might preserve thegreatest of Leonardo's secrets.
All right, buddy,we want secrets.
And they better be ancient!
Porco metallico!
Ne'er shall I reveal how thesewondrous machines fit together!
PROFESSOR:They fit together?!
I said no such thing.
And then I died!
(raspy screech)
You're right, Professor.
This thing doesn't fly.
Don't sit in there,you idiot!
That's dangerous!
(clicking, ratcheting)
No wonder this contraptionisn't aerodynamic!
It's not an aircraft,it's a spacecraft!
Basta! As I live, thou shan'tdiscover the great secret!

Exclusive: North Korea tells China of preparations for fresh nuclear test
By Benjamin Kang Lim
BEIJING | Fri Feb 15, 2013 8:31am EST
(Reuters) - North Korea has told its key ally, China, that it is prepared to stage one or even two more nuclear tests this year in an effort to force the United States into diplomatic talks with Pyongyang, said a source with direct knowledge of the message.
Further tests could also be accompanied this year by another rocket launch, said the source who has direct access to the top levels of government in both Beijing and Pyongyang.
The isolated regime conducted its third nuclear test on Tuesday, drawing global condemnation and a stern warning from the United States that it was a threat and a provocation.
(Excerpt) Read more at reuters.com ...
The US will probably do the "usual drill". I am sure that will make a big impression on Kim3.
The US will probably do the "usual drill". I am sure that will make a big impression on Kim3.
I have heard that the State Department's Asia Team has no Korea experts!!!
Once again, amature hour is exposed at the Obama White House.
Because of Obama's stark weakness it won't be too much longer until some country pushes the envelope and launches some "unexpected" attack somewhere. America's weakness, as deliberately and starkly portrayed by Obama, unfortunately will likely soon cause much death, destruction and misery.
Benghazi times 1,000?
Would Obama actually pick up a phone at that point?
Democrats response is always the same. "Its Bush's fault", what make this any different.
Democrats response is always the same. "Its Bush's fault", what makes this any different.
There was speculation posted on another thread that this flurry of Nork nuke testing was actually clandestine testing of Iranian weapons.
What differnece does it make!!!!
They certainly could take some of the million tons of nitrate and urea fertilizer South Korea donated to them and blow it up in tunnel.
Ooooooooo! a NUKE! Better surrender!
1. The Japanese announce that in response to NK they will produce nuclear weapons.
2. The Americans announce that #1 is understandable and that they will be fast tracking a Japanese request to purchase plans for light weight nuclear warheads, the Pershing II missile system, and Tomahawk cruise missiles.
3. Through back channels, the U.S. and Japanese tell the Chinese (and Russians) that they are willing to turn their plans off IF North Korea is dealt with.
Throw the ball to China and they will jerk the leash on NK pronto. They have no desire to have a nuclear armed Japan.
The real decision maker is China. If we are serious about NK then we should look to China's pressure points.
In fact, I would approach the Chinese with an offer to encourage them to invade NK as a humanitarian move. In return, we would agree to not base U.S. forces on unified Korean soil. Let the Chinese occupy NK and try to make some sense of that mess, while keeping the DMZ in place. After a decade or so, the Chinese will be ready to turn the mess over to South Korea.
I think that's akin to: "An angry pit bull has told its key ally, owner Steve..."
The pit bull might be marginally less inclined to bite the man who gives it food every day than it is to bite strangers, but the man is always well aware the possibility of being attacked exists.
Obama is gonna send Kim a few more modern, "green" nukes with less fallout problems.
In the interest of sustainability and saving us from the climate.
It is safe to say so.
I'm betting that North Korea is working on its nuclear program with the full knowledge and support of China, Russia and Iran.
Condoned by China
Russia doesn't care as long as its nuke is directed elsewhere, except that there would be nuclear accident a la Chernobyl and Fukushima
As long as we continue to Free Trade with Communist China....and rack up trillions in trade deficits.....we have no standing in dealing with North Korea and their main sponsor Commie China. Both nations just laugh at us
We raise tarrifs on the Communist Chinese....and both NK. and Commie China will want to deal. Unfortunately Free Traders and Liberals are our biggest threat to national security
If NK wants a nuke so bad, we should be generous and drop a couple on them.
... maybe throw in a fruit basket with a nice note on it too.
I'm sure it's being discussed by our CIC on the golf course.
N Korea is probably passing information technology to Iran.
I concur.
So how does the world let a madman slaughter his own people and threaten everyone with nuclear war?
People are going to die either way and are dying now of starvation and execution. The citizens of the world can resolve this or the madman, or his heirs, will.
Question: What do you call it when a small nation spends tens of millions of dollars to build nuclear weapons that they don't need for defense only to detonate them in underground tests in a game of brinksmanship while their economy regresses to the stone age and tens of thousands of their people starve every year?
Answer: Madness.
Come on, please please have an atmospheric test....
None of which would work.
Because you don't think China has the power over NK, or because you don't think China cares about a nuclear armed Japan?
They are working together on nuke and missile technologies. Probably also the chem/bio weapons.
Because China thinks they are the big kid on the block and won't respond well to ultimatums from anyone including us. They know our dear leader lacks the stones to do anything.
And no China doesn't care about a nuclear Japan. NK is building a bomb for America, not for anyone else.
Forgetting Obama, they would have no other way to respond. "Like it or lump it" being the catch phrase. A big part of their keeping "big kid" status is Japan remaining non-nuclear. I'm quite certain they care about Japan going nuclear.
China has a great deal of influence over NK. While NK is willing to starve millions and is thus resistant to pressure from the outside world, they are not capable of withstand being cut off from China.
China may like to think of itself as immune to pressure, but its not. Japan tying nuclear capability to NK force their hand.
The trick would be getting the Japanese on board to just do it, no threat, no ultimatum, just an announcement that it will happen. Giving China the alternative through backdoor channels would allow them to save face. They would act, then Japan would decide they no longer needed to go nuclear.
China supports NK because it is a convenient proxy to hit our pressure points. The natural answer would be to make NK a bigger pain for China than they are for us.
We'll have to shoot one of those meteors over North Korea like we did Russia today. That will settle them down...
Agreed. And our "leader" sit back and twittle their thumbs.
Curious you mentioned the Japanese. As it happens it's the Souks that have the most to lose if the Norks get frisky. And just yesterday the Chicoms had a pretty detailed news story about the Souks explaining some of their capability. They just shot off a surface polaris style missile and a sub launched cruise missile in plain view of the Norks complete with a highly visible Israeli style bunker hit. The South guy was carefully explaining how they could put their missiles thru any particular office window in Norkland. I'm guessing the Souks have figured out they can't depend on Obamuzzie on any particular day so they are willing to light it up if they get spooked———and they have some really good matches.
I have family in SK. For the most part South Koreans love America but don't have much use for the American Govt. They don't wait around much.
They don't want war but most of the people I've spoken with expect it some day.
Both charter members of the Axis of Evil
"Question: What do you call it when a small nation spends tens of millions of dollars to build nuclear weapons that they dont need for defense only to detonate them in underground tests in a game of brinksmanship while their economy regresses to the stone age and tens of thousands of their people starve every year?"
The answer is: demonic possession.
If I read that correctly...we, the US, are going to send a "stern warning"....Obama must really be pissed...wow ! Wait till John Kerry gets going ! BTW, it is true that John Kerry's great uncle is Minister Neville Chamberlain?
And when the PRC dumps a couple of Trillion $$$ worth of US Treasury Bonds onto the market? If you think the economy is in the toilet now, just see what happens when the 10 year Treasury rate is 8% within a week and the going rate for a fully conforming 1st mortgage is around 12%. Not to mention what that will do to the price of the dollar, the capital levels of banks after seeing their US Treasury portfolio decline by 10 - 15%. The potential of that is the total financial system collapse we barely avoided in 2008.
You were doing fine until the 2nd paragraph.
The yield was between 5 kt and 16 kt.
The most disturbing question is whether the Iranians are using North Korea as a backdoor plan for their own nuclear program. The Iranians didnt carry out a nuclear test in Iran, but they may have done so in North Korea, Levkowitz said. There is no official information on this... but Iran may have bypassed inspections via North Korea. If true, this is a very worrying development.
They always seem to show up for N.Korean nuke tests. The 2 countries are working hand in hand - nothing new.
Worrying should have begun years ago.
The analysts also found activity in two different parts of the site. They said that if the North detonated the bomb in a tunnel in the northern area, then the southern tunnel would be readily available for a fourth test.

Celebrating our Olympic Heroes!This past Friday, an unforgettable week and year for our beach volleyball Olympians reached its climax with a parade through downtown Toronto. Marie-Andree Lessard, Annie Martin, Josh Binstock and Martin Reader proudly represented Canada in London at the Olympic Games and many Canadians capitalized on their opportunity to show their appreciation for their efforts.
Last week, the Canadian beach volleyball foursome and other Olympians also visited the House of Commons in Ottawa and met Prime Minister Stephen Harper, enjoyed an Olympic breakfast with KidSport and the Boys&Girls Club, visited elementary schools and the Sick Kids Hospital and were honored at a luncheon with the Governor General and much more.
In the photo at the top, Reader and Lessard parade on a float through downtown Toronto with Team Leader and national beach volleyball team coach Lennard Krapp. Later Reader and Binstock met Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty at Queens Park.

Group: Giverny
Artist: Claude MONET
Birth/Death: 1840–1926
Title: Meadow at Giverny
Date Made: 1894
Lender: Art Museum, Princeton University, New Jersey
Meadow at Giverny reveals the growing sensuousness of Monet's art. It is more a field of energies than a stable landscape. While governed by Art nouveau's sinuous line and artificial colours, it still gives a sense that, however transformed, it is based on intense observation of nature. Thus the meadow is dissolved into lines of force formed from long streaks of violet and green; but these gradually reveal themselves as shadows that seem to vibrate in the light of the setting sun, which also catches at the slender line of the distant tree.

That just sounds so ridiculous to me. Sorry to me that sounds the same as "there's a new U2 album" or "insert stupid pop band here, like Simple Plan"
Sorry, not trying to offend. Just sounds ridiculous to me.
FYI- I like all music, so don't characterize me as ignorant or one-dimensional. I don't even dislike Blink 182, it just sounded ridiculous to me. That is all.

Well 1st off U2 is one of the greatest bands of our generation, so lets not get crazy. Simple Plan blows, no doubt, but don't go sounding off on U2 b/c you got offended. Green Day's American Idiot was a pretty tight album, though they'll never be able to top the significance of Dookie soley based on the fact that it started pop/punk. Blink's last album was their best. +44 had that 1 single that was pretty cool, but it's really all about Blink as a whole. I'm also looking forward to their new album, it should be just as good as their last.
