The report delivers on the core task of the Social Protection Committee (SPC) to monitor the social situation in the Member States and the European Union. It is prepared by the Secretariat of the Committee and its Indicators' Sub-group. The report provides an analysis of recent trends in the social situation in the Member States and the European Union and shows that there has been little improvement in the overall situation in the EU, although trends are more mixed than in preceding years. Continuing disparities occur across Member States and the situation is worsening in several. The report focuses on the results from the latest edition of the Social Protection Performance Monitor (SPPM), which is based on a set of key indicators for monitoring developments in the social situation.
This report is available online in English.
This report provides a comprehensive overview of the set-up of social protection systems in the EU. It illustrates the heterogeneity across Member States' social protection systems in terms of their size, structure, and financing arrangements. The document addresses the question of the effectiveness and efficiency of the systems in place, taking a broad approach that accounts for the multiple objectives of social policies and the related social and employment outcomes. Country overviews and relevant data are provided.
This publication is available online in English.
This report presents the annual review of the Social Protection Committee on the development of social protection policies, including social inclusion, pension, health and long-term care, in the European Union. Focusing on policy measures adopted in the period 2013-2014, the report aims at assessing the main directions of reform efforts in the field of social protection. It is based on social reporting done by the Member States in the context of the National Social Reports. A thematic section is dedicated to youth exclusion as one of the foremost challenges to a social Europe arising from the economic crisis.

Money invested in a social enterprise should be used efficiently in delivering its social mission. Also, where public funding is used, efficient delivery of outcomes or savings in public spending must be demonstrated. A consistent way of measuring social impact is therefore needed. In October 2012, a Social Impact Measurement expert sub-group was set up by the GECES ("Groupe d'Experts de la Commission sur l'Entrepreneuriat Social") in order to advise on a methodology which could be applied across the European social entrepreneurship sector. This helps social fund managers decide whether they will invest in a particular enterprise and will help investors and grant givers see if the enterprises they have backed have achieved their stated social objectives, but is also of wider application, both internally and externally. This publication sets out the proposed approaches to measurement used for assessment and follow-up.
This publication is available in electronic format in English, French, German, Italian, Polish and Spanish.
This report explores how those households that are particularly exposed to poverty and long-term unemployment manage to deal with the blows dealt by the economic crisis. It asks the key questions: is unemployment in a period of crisis really the cause of spiralling breaks in social links, or can it also be the start of a process of coping, based on strengthening those links? If so, to what extent? It draws on the findings of three studies, both qualitatively and quantitatively. This publication is available in printed and electronic format in English.
This report examines to what extent innovative approaches to social protection against the risk of long-term care dependency - such as prevention, rehabilitation and support for the independent living of frail older people - can help EU Member States ensure that adequate provisions for long-term care needs can be organised in a sustainable way even at the height of population ageing. It argues that national policy makers should move from the present primarily reactive to an increasing-ly proactive policy approach seeking both to prevent the loss of autonomy and thus reduce care demand, and to boost efficient, cost-effective care provision.
Published by the Social Protection Committee (SPC), the report identifies promising innovative approaches around the EU and suggests how the the Union can support the efforts of Member States by facilitating the exchange of best practices, by researching and testing new solutions and fostering technical and social innovation.
The Galician Ministry of Employment and Social Welfare hosted on 25 March 2014 a Peer Review on the Galician Digital Volunteering Programme (VolDIX). The programme exploits various forms of voluntary participation to combat digital and social exclusion as part of a broader effort to build an Information Society for all. This report summarises the key issues discussed and the lessons learned. It is available in electronic format in English, French, German and Spanish.

The Belgian Platform against Poverty and Social Exclusion EU 2020 is designed to feed into the Europe 2020 Strategy, which includes the European Platform against Poverty and Social Exclusion as one of seven flagship initiatives. Since 2011 the Belgian Platform has brought together a wide variety of participants for quarterly meetings. Although the Platform has no real policy making authority, it provides an important forum for open dialogue and increasing awareness of the European framework for fighting social exclusion. This report summarises the key issues discussed and the lessons learned. It is available in electronic format in English, French, German and Dutch.
This paper reviews the current problems in obtaining timely information on social developments within EU Member States, and reports on a stocktaking exercise of existing national approaches to providing timely social data, as well as the possibilities that are being explored within the framework of the European Statistical System (ESS) to improve the situation.

Cute but poorly sized
"I love the look of the shoes, but unfortunately, they didn't fit right. I wear an 11 and the strap across the arch was stretched out. Also the shoe material was causing large gaps on the sides so it stuck out (it was like my foot wasn't wide enough for the shoe). As much as I hated to have to, I had to return them."

Exeter Chiefs booked their place in the Amlin Challenge Cup quarter-finals on Saturday with a convincing 31-14 victory over Perpignan.
Exeter booked their place in the Amlin Challenge Cup last-eight on Saturday with a convincing win over Perpignan.
Toulon joined them in the last eight after putting 50 past Petrarca while Newcastle lost in Lyon.
In the late game, Stade Français made sure of their top spot finish in Pool 1 by defeating Worcester 33-10, with their tries scored by Paul Warwick, Sergio Parisse, Morgan Turinui, Paul Sackey and veteran replacement Byron Kelleher.
Worcester conceded three first-half tries at Stade Charlety, and despite a superb individual score from Andy Goode early in the second-half, the hosts had the bonus secured before the hour.
Exeter Chiefs 31-14 Perpignan
Dragons 45-16 I Cavalieri Prato
Lyon 21-13 Newcastle Falcons
Petrarca 6-50 Toulon
Bucharest Wolves 26-13 Banca Monte Crociati
Stade Français 33-10 Worcester
Exeter Chiefs 31 – 14 Perpignan
Exeter claimed an historic win to qualify for their first appearance in a European last-eight.
The Chiefs made the worst possible start to the clash as Perpignan clinched early tries from Charles Geli and Joffrey Michel to surge into a 14-0 lead within 10 minutes of kick-off
But Exteter turned the game around thanks to the boot of Ignacio Mieres and a Hayden Thomas try. Brett Sturgess and James Phillips then grabbed second-half touchdowns to seal the win and qualification to the knockout stages.
Rob Baxter's men will have to wait until Wasps' clash with Bordeaux-Begles on Sunday to learn if they have done enough for a home quarter-final.

The seductive flavors of the tropics emerge like a soft, warm breeze with every sip of this sweet and tangy tea. Hints of berry and bright citrus flavors in the hibiscus mingle with refreshing key lime. With lively rosehips and naturally sweet apples, it's like a vacation in a tea cup. Superflower PowerThe exotic hibiscus flower (Hibiscus sabdariffa) is a tropical marvel with many health benefits. The Republic of Tea's caffeine-free, premium hibiscus steeps a deep, crimson cup and is rich in Vitamin C and minerals. It hails from Africa - mainly Nigeria - where hibiscus tea is known to help cool the body in hot weather. Current studies suggest hibiscus is significantly effective in maintaining healthy blood pressure and cholesterol levels. It is also known to fight cell-damaging free radicals with its powerful antioxidants and to help strengthen the immune system. Further research suggests there are beneficial anti-inflammatory and mild anti-bacterial properties in hibiscus as well What are the Health Benefits of Tea?The people of The Republic of Tea take great delight in the knowledge that tea drinking brings about more than a pleasurable experience. For centuries, tea has been associated with good health. Now more than ever, scientific research supports that connection. Studies have found that tea is rich in the plant substances known as flavonoids. These naturally occurring compounds can function as powerful antioxidants that can help neutralize the free radicals known to damage cells and lead to diseases such as cancer and heart disease. Black, green, and oolong teas may all help protect against numerous types of cancers. In addition, by inhibiting the absorption of cholesterol in the digestive tract, tea prevents the formation of unwanted clots which may cause a heart attack or stroke. And all teas contribute vitamins A, C and E to our diets. Green tea is especially health-promoting. With more than 30 polyphenols it affects the human system in the most positive of ways—helping us lose weight, lower cholesterol and control blood sugar. A subgroup of polyphenols, called catechins, is abundant in green tea. One catechin in particular, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg), is found only in green tea. It is one of the most potent antioxidants yet discovered. Because of this and so many other advantages inherent in green tea, promising evidence shows that regularly drinking green tea appears useful in helping fight breast, prostate and other cancers. About weight loss: Recent research focuses on green tea's impact on body composition, particularly the visceral fat implicated in heart disease. In one study, habitual tea drinkers (most of whom drank green or 100% White Tea) had almost 20 percent less body fat than those who drank other beverages. While green tea is one of the healthiest beverages you can sip, 100% White Tea is even more so. Research shows that 100% White Tea retains the highest level of polyphenols of all teas. In addition to many other attributes, tea can calm the mind, relieve stress, and is reported to aid digestion. Good for the spirit, good for the body. Tea and CaffeineCaffeine occurs naturally in tea. A mild stimulant, it accounts for tea's reputation as a beverage that clears the mind and lifts the spirit. On average, a six-ounce cup of black tea has about 50 milligrams of caffeine—less than half the amount in a cup of brewed coffee. The smaller the leaf, the stronger the extraction of caffeine. Using comparable amounts and steeping times, a tea bag filled with cut leaves will release more caffeine per cup than full-leaf tea. The more oxidized the tea – as in black tea – the greater its caffeine content. Green tea and 100% White Tea, which are not oxidized, have less caffeine per cup than black tea. In between we have oolong tea, which is semi-oxidized and has about half as much caffeine as black tea. Caffeine content varies with manufacturing and growing variances as well as brewing conditions and time. Values are approximations. Safety TestingIn a world of uncertainty, safety and testing are of utmost importance. At The Republic of Tea, the integrity of their entire product line begins with the source. Tea SafetyThe Republic of Tea purchases only the highest quality tea grown at the premier tea gardens of the world. In each location, they have established long-term supply partnerships. These premium teas are naturally processed—that is, transformed from Camellia sinensis to black, oolong, green or 100% white tea—in the most time-honored fashion. No foreign materials or additives are ever introduced. All teas are routinely tested for every known pesticide residues and other matter as well. While all of our teas undergo stringent quality assurance processes at the garden level before they are shipped, we also test each shipment again upon arrival at our packaging facility. Good Will and Social ResponsibilityThe Republic of Tea embraces the ancient Chinese philosophy of Ta shun – the Great Harmony. Ta shun is alive when people naturally care about the world and depend on one another for the well-being of the whole. It manifests itself in collective concern and the aspiration to seek opportunities, initiatives and actions that will better the conditions of both humans and the planet. In short, to provide good works, render goodwill. The Republic of Tea is honored to render goodwill by developing teas and tea-inspired items to support organizations that make a difference in the world. The Republic of Tea is also a committed member of the international Ethical Tea Partnership.

Never.... Again.Omg, DO NOT BUY ANY SYNTHETIC HAIR PRODUCTS from this brand. I paid a total of $95.00 and wow, I am so disappointed and shocked at the garbage that showed up at my door step. Its wrapped up lovely, but the hair is garbage. Its waaaaaay too shiney. The ad claims that the hair is "multi-toned", meaning that it blends with just about anyones hair color. Well, thats absolutely not true. The hair looked as if it belonged on a dollar stores barbie dolls head. Its completely fake looking. I know its synthetic, but for $95.00 I could have gone to my local beauty supply store and gotten something much better. The advertisement of the hair is a complete lie. They claim its "virtually, undetectable". Sure...... Im so unhappy and disappointed. Be careful. And ask yourself why dont they ads have pictures of the back and side of the models heads to show the entire style. We should also be able to zoom in on every single picture as well. I will never ever purchase anything like this over the internet again. I need to touch the products and see it up close before I pay that kind of money. Thanks, Folica... for wasting my money and time.Oct 21, 2008Kristen / New Jersey

Wow!..I had been wearing every type of extension for years (fusions, weft, short to longs, etc). They were extremely damaging to my hair and i ended up having to take them out because my hair was literally breaking off. I ordered the HUMAN HAIR jessica simpson hair extensions and have been wearing them for about 6 months now. Since you dont have to straighten the bottom half of your hair because it is tucked underneath the extensions, my once damaged hair is SOOO healthy and longer now. I would seriously suggest these extensions to anyone. No one can even tell you have them, People that i have worked with for over a year and a half now still dont know i have extensions and always compliment me on how gorgeous and shiny my hair is ;). GET THEM!Jun 23, 2008Chelsey / Saskatoon

Great Producti have worn extensions for years and i started to notice my hair breaking off. i couldnt straighten my natural hair or curl it because i didnt want to damage it any more. I decided to get the jessica simpson extensions in human hair to help me out. and they did the trick. I wore them for about a year and now my hair is in great condition that i just stopped buying them. but you can never see the weft (versus fusion extensions you can always see the glue) they dont ruin your hair, and the human hair stays in great condition! just treat them right by conditioning, and getting treatments! theyll stay so shiny!Jun 20, 2008Diana / Regina Sk

Good At First....They were nice at first but definitely are not long-lasting. I have not had them for very long but I dont really wear them much any more because the bottoms look frizzy and dead. Okay for a few times but not for long-term use. For the price they should have been better quality--> so not worth the money really.May 2, 2008Anonymous

Greatttttt And Takes Less Time To Get Fixed Up And Looks Better Too!I think this is overall a great product. Im not too sure about the color options because my hair is dyed black so i just went with the "ebony/black" color and well of course it matched. the only thing that i think would be the "downside" to the product is that its too shiny...BUTTTT i discovered that if you just put ALOT shine serum in to your OWN hair especially the ends that it blends in very nicely.Apr 23, 2008Tanisha

Be An Educated Consumer!Reading through these reviews, I reaized that most of the negative comments about this product line are due to lack of information. If you are in the market for synthetic hair pieces, please be realistic. NOTHING LASTS FOREVER GIRLS! The average lifespan for these hair extentions are 3 months. Alternatively, the human hair version of this lasts about a year. PLEASE consider this when plannning on making an investment in your hair. How often do I plan on using this? Everyday or just special occasions? Long term or short term? Just for your information, if you only plan to have one style, its more cost effective to buy 4 synthetics a year than to buy one real human hairpiece.

So-soWhen I first purchased the product I was extremely pleased! The extensions were very easy to put in for a first timer and the color match was awesome considering I just took a guess. They looked great on and I got tons of compliments. However, after just about 4 wearings, they got pretty tangled and worn looking so I washed them and they seemed to bounce back quite well. Unfortunately, that was short lived because now they look so tangled and dull that I dont like to wear them. I took care of them and stored them just like the reviews and the instructions said. Im sorry to say that the reviews that had negative feedback were right, they dont last very long.Feb 8, 2008Jessie / West Lafayette, IndianaHAIR TYPERelaxed Hair

On World Habitat Day, UN Encourages All to Build on Urban Opportunities
Embu, Kenya, 1 October 2012 - In celebrating this year's World Habitat Day, the UN's city agency, UN-Habitat has called for nations and citizens alike to harness the opportunities found in cities and towns to encourage social and economic development.
In the context of pressing economic times and increasing urban populations, especially among the youth, this year's theme Changing cities, building opportunities rings especially true. In an official statement, UN Secretary-General, Ban Ki-moon, said "This year's Rio +20 conference on sustainable development recognized the importance of cities to economically, socially and environmentally sustainable societies.On this World Habitat Day, let us urgently commit to work together for integrated, holistic management of the urban environment for the benefit of people and the planet."
In his statement, UN Under-Secretary-General and Executive Director of UN-Habitat, Joan Clos, said that the quest to improve our cities is now more urgent than ever.
"Given that, historically, urbanisation has been a source of development rather than a result of it, it is clear that it can be used as a powerful tool for transforming production capacities and income levels in developing countries," said Clos. "This requires a mindset shift on the part of decision makers, away from viewing urbanisation as a problem, and instead towards seeing it as a tool for development."
Hosted by the Government of Kenya, the day's events were held at the Embu Municipal Stadium and opened by Joan Clos; Soita Shitanda, the Kenya Minister for Housing; George Owuor, Permanent Representative of the Kenya Mission to the United Nations Office in Nairobi (UNON) and Peter Muriithi Nyaga, the Mayor of Embu.
The theme Changing Cities, Building Opportunities was chosen for this year's event because cities are the engines of growth. When planned well, cities can continue to provide opportunities to current and future residents, while the unplanned growth of cities leads to chaotic development and urban sprawl. This ties in with the new UN-Habitat campaign, I am a city changer which seeks to involve all in making their cities a better place to live.
The latest edition of UN-Habitat's flagship report, The State of World's Cities 2012 -2013: the Prosperity of Cities, calls for new thinking on how we can advance towards the urban future, particularly in seeking for shared and holistic prosperity. By concentrating on the urban future, this year's event aims to focus international attention to the impact of rapid urban growth and opportunities that cities can offer.
The United Nations has designated the first Monday of October every year as World Habitat Day. It offers a chance to reflect on the state of our towns and cities and the basic right of all to adequate shelter, basic urban services and urban mobility. The day also intended to remind the world of its collective responsibility for the future of the human habitat.

In the decades since World War II, presidents from both parties have assumed broad war-making powers never intended by the Constitution and have pumped trillions of tax dollars into the Pentagon. Has this pursuit made the United States safer or has it only done irreparable damage to the ideals of American democracy?
In The Emergency State, Unger explains how this narrow-minded emphasis on security came to distort our political life and shows how we can change course. The New York Times' senior editorialist on foreign affairs proposes a radically different paradigm that would better address our security needs while also working to reverse the damage done to our democratic institutions and economic vitality.

Remaining gaps, needs and opportunities: Specifically, the requirement of projects looking at diverse community settings has not been met. Most of the projects listed are not focused on dissemination or may be using a model that is not well-translated to autism. Dissemination should be part of a grant application and this should be rigorously enforced. An opportunity in this area would be to create and support training institutes within existing networks that are focused on implementation and dissemination.

Last year I learned of and took part in the campaign "Teal Toes." It is a way to bring awareness to Ovarian Cancer. I have had two friends die of ovarian cancer – a nurse friend Lisette and medical school classmate Yoland Condrey-Tinker.
Both would have loved the "Teal Toes" campaign (photo credit)
The month of September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month and to help bring attention to the fifth leading cause of cancer death in women, an organization called Teal Toes is asking women to wear teal polish on their piggies in September (and anytime, really!) to prompt conversations about ovarian cancer with other people who might see the color and compliment or question it.
This is a photo of my teal toes from last year, but I promise you have have used the polish I bought last year at Wal-Mart again. It is Nicole "Respect the World Nail" Lacquer by OPI.
The Gynecologic Cancer Foundation, the Society of Gynecologic Oncologists and the American Cancer Society, with significant support from the Alliance formed a consensus statement on ovarian cancer. The Ovarian Cancer National Alliance has endorsed the consensus statement, which was announced in June 2007. The statement follows.
Historically ovarian cancer was called the "silent killer" because symptoms were not thought to develop until the chance of cure was poor. However, recent studies have shown this term is untrue and that the following symptoms are much more likely to occur in women with ovarian cancer than women in the general population. These symptoms include:
Pelvic or abdominal pain
Difficulty eating or feeling full quickly
Urinary symptoms (urgency or frequency)
Women with ovarian cancer report that symptoms are persistent and represent a change from normal for their bodies. …... Early stage diagnosis is associated with an improved prognosis.
Please visit OCNA for more information.

Light and comfortable
"This is actually my second pair of J-41 Tahoes. My dog put holes in the mesh top on the first pair, but they are just so comfortable, I had to buy a second pair. These are the most comfortable sneakers I've owned in a long time - they are on the minimalist side, so probably not great for folks that need a lot of support, but I love them, and can't wait for summer when I can wear them all the time."

Adore this shoe!!
"Although I had to go a full size larger I found this to be the most comfortable shoe I own. I can even fit orthotics in it and it helps with my plantar faciitis. The hardest thing is to find it in more colors in larger sizes. If you are lucky enough to have small feet you may find more choices. Hope they are not discontinuing this model. I want more!"

"The Shoe was good but runs a little small."
By: AMM07

Very comfortable, but workmanship varies
"The first pair of these I bought ended up going back to the store, because they were a bit narrow in the toe area and the rubbing of the mesh became uncomfortable very quickly. When I went back to the store, a slightly different version of the same shoe was in, so I exchanged them and I love my new ones. The second pair feels a bit wider in the toe and has a second layer of softer, smaller mesh that makes them much more comfortable than the first pair. I don't know if that was a design change or if the first pair I bought were defective. I have other shoes by this brand that are very comfortable."

the gregarious and gifted Kevin Sumlin proves to be the perfect fit at Texas A&M
by Homer Jacobs
12th Man Magazine
From the big recruits to the big cigars, from the inner city to outside the Loop, college football's Everyman definitely can relate.
After all, his smile is universal, his style so complete.
Indeed, Kevin Sumlin is the cool coach with the sizzling touch these days, as he tries to lead the Texas A&M football program to unprecedented heights going forward.
But even in leading the Aggies to a sparkling 11-2 record last season with an upset of top-ranked Alabama and guiding A&M to a 5-2 record heading into the Vanderbilt game, Sumlin remains as even-keel and grounded as ever.
The former walk-on linebacker at Purdue still lights up the room as he always has.
- WR Mike Evans
"He's just a regular guy who treats everybody the same," says A&M associate athletic director for football Justin Moore. "He's like that with everybody in the office. He doesn't act any different than the lowest staff member.
"He walks around the hallways, and you can hear him laughing and joking…he'll peek in the G.A.'s office and sit down and (talk) with them for 10 minutes. Head coaches just don't do that."
Sumlin's charisma oozes through the hallways of the Bright Football Complex, from breaking the tension in a staff meeting to wowing recruits and their parents on official visit weekends.
The week before the Alabama showdown in September, Sumlin's calm was so evident before the storm.
"My biggest takeaway was his ability to relate to everybody," said Bruce Feldman, the CBSSports.com writer who was imbedded with the A&M program in the days leading up to the clash with the Crimson Tide. "And I'm talking about the 17-year-old recruit, the bluest of the blue-chip recruits, the big-time athlete, the Johnny Manziel guy, the offensive linemen, the defensive linemen, the rich boosters, the media and, maybe more than anything, his assistant coaches.
"I've been around a lot of programs, and I've never seen a program or any team as loose and not bogged down for a big game as his team before the Alabama game. To see that first-hand was really eye opening. I came away feeling like this guy is brilliant when it comes to just managing people."
Sumlin's coaching career began as a graduate assistant at Washington State in 1989. Head coach Mike Price had put together a star-studded staff that included Joe Tiller and Bill Doba, who both were formerly on the Boilermakers' staff and had coached a gritty linebacker from Indianapolis.
The rave reviews about this engaging, up-and-coming coach piled up, and Price quickly hired Sumlin as a graduate assistant and coach of the junior varsity team (allowable back then by the Pac-10). Sumlin had strict instructions in leading the junior varsity squad: Prepare a young quarterback named Drew Bledsoe to play for the varsity halfway into the season.
Fortunately, Bledsoe was not injured—a fire-able offense for a young G.A.—and he found his way to the varsity lineup. And Sumlin's coaching star began to shimmer.
- DB De'Vante Harris
"There was no doubt after meeting and talking with him that he was going to be special," recalls Price, who is retired from coaching but closely follows Sumlin's career. "He can walk into a room and get everybody's attention. He was articulate, smart, outgoing and friendly.
"He went up (the ladder) so quickly that I never got a chance to hire him back. He's big-time, and I've always felt that way. He has remained humble and appreciative. He's not a big shot. He has a great air about him because of his personality, his smile and his good looks."
While Sumlin made coaching stops at Wyoming, Minnesota and Purdue, his first big break likely came when he was scouring the recruiting fields of Texas. He was quickly turning heads across this state as he and the Boilermakers began to convince Texas kids to head north to the Big Ten.
Former A&M coach R.C. Slocum became so alarmed at the number of top Texas recruits from the Houston Chronicle Top 100 who were considering Purdue that he asked his assistant coaches who was this recruiting ace raiding the state of Texas for the Boilermaker program.
The hotshot was Sumlin, and Slocum was then introduced to the bright-eyed assistant at the national coaches convention after the 2000 season. It was an encounter that would ultimately lead Sumlin to Aggieland as an assistant coach in 2001 and later as the head coach a decade later.
In Sumlin's second season as wide receivers coach on Slocum's staff, the Aggies began the 2002 season with lackluster offensive performances under offensive coordinator Dino Babers. After scoring just three points against Virginia Tech in the third game of the season, Slocum had seen enough and demoted Babers while handing over play-calling duties to Sumlin.
A&M proceeded to score 30 points or more in six of its next seven games, stamping the resurgence with a 30-26 win over top-ranked Oklahoma at Kyle Field.
Unfortunately for Slocum and Sumlin, the Aggies stalled to close out the season, losing two straight games to Missouri and Texas.
"I think Kevin was holding out on me when he was coaching for me," Slocum said with a laugh recently as he witnessed Sumlin's offense purr through the SEC in 2013. "I wish he had broken out the whole package."
The 6-6 season would mark the end of the Slocum era, but fortunately for Sumlin—and the A&M program 10 years later—the Aggieland experience had been a positive one.
- Justin Moore, Associate AD/Football
After spending five seasons in the Big 12 on Bob Stoops' staff at Oklahoma and while at Houston as the head coach, Sumlin always kept an eye on the Aggies.
The maroon blood had never stopped flowing.
"He really enjoyed his time here when he was assistant, and he always knew it was a special place," said Moore, who was hired by Sumlin as director of football operations at Houston six years ago. "Anytime we were watching highlights in the locker room at Houston, he would always have an interest in what A&M was doing. You could always tell, even if he was keeping it to himself a little bit, that he thought this place was special."
Former A&M receiver Terrence Murphy, who came to A&M the same year Sumlin arrived as an assistant, said he always knew Sumlin would return to A&M one day…this time as the head coach.
"I told him on the phone in 2007 that he'd be the head coach at Texas A&M," Murphy added. "At the time, he wasn't even a head coach yet but still an assistant at OU. I told him he was going to be the head coach at Texas A&M and told him to write that down. He said, 'Man, I don't see that happening. I'm not even a head coach anywhere right now.'"
He is now, and Sumlin has quickly become one of the hottest coaches in the game.
While there were countless doubters pontificating about A&M's sure demise in the SEC, Sumlin quietly balked at all the naysaying. He was ready for the big job in College Station, forming his own coaching philosophy after stealing nuggets from coaching legends like Stoops, Slocum, Price and Tiller.
And with his arrival in Aggieland, Sumlin brought a confidence and swagger to the A&M program that had been missing for the better part of 15 years.
There was a culture change, as well, as Sumlin introduced flashier uniforms and a hipper team entrance. With the SEC logo emblazoned on all team gear and refurbishments dressing up the Bright Football Complex, Sumlin attacked brand management like a marketing guru.
His offense was cutting edge, too, as it continues to shred the vaunted defenses of the SEC.
"He's come in and done some cool things for our university," Murphy said. "How many times have you seen a coach come in and change America's perspective of Texas A&M? The SEC played a big part in that, but if Coach Sumlin doesn't come here we don't see Johnny Manziel in the light that we saw him; I don't feel we have the success in the SEC in our first year. There are a lot of things he's done for us, and he wanted to be here. That's what was the most important thing to me."
Recruits certainly want to join the Sumlin show, as A&M likely will sign a top-10 class for the second straight year. If Sumlin isn't flying to a recruit's game in a maroon helicopter, he's wowing families in his office with a 20-minute spiel that shows off both his charm and his candor.
- Bruce Feldman, CBSSports.com
"I can see why they're doing so well in recruiting," Feldman said. "I'd be surprised if any kid who did take a visit that (Alabama) weekend committed some place else.
"If he stays there five years, I'll be surprised if they don't win at least one national title. I know how well he's recruiting, and I know how well he can coax performances out of his athletes."
Sumlin quickly won over the locker room when he first arrived at A&M, engaging in typical banter with his guys. His post-game celebrations—complete with major waterworks—have become must-see videos for Aggie football fans.
He meets with players to decide which uniforms to wear, what music to listen to at practice and which movies to view on a Friday night. And in keeping with his family values, he doesn't grind down his coaching staff, giving his coaches time off Thursday nights and Friday mornings to spend with their families.
"He's loose, and he's a player's coach," said wide receiver Mike Evans. "He understands what we've been through because he's been there before. He knows how to relate to us, and he's just a great guy."
A&M players talk freely of Sumlin's openness and straight-shooting style. And everyone—coaches and players—is held accountable in a Monday team meeting and video session dubbed, "The Truth."
"I only know one way to do things," Sumlin says. "You try to be honest with your guys and try to be who you are. Young people are hard to fool, so you need to be yourself. If you're not yourself, in times of turmoil or times when there's undo pressure and the real you comes out, if it's something they hadn't seen it can scare a lot of folks.
"Our coaches do a great job of communicating with our players. I try to do that. From that standpoint, players know where I stand with our team all the time. We don't play any mind games. I'm really honest with them, sometimes brutally honest. Because of that, they know where it is and where they stand. I think that alleviates a lot of problems. Because of the communication, you can keep moving forward without a hidden agenda. And I think that builds trust with the young guys. And once you lose (trust), you might never get it back."
With Sumlin's success at A&M come the natural questions about his longtime coaching future. The NFL has reportedly made overtures toward Sumlin, and with each major job opening in college, Sumlin's name invariably pops up on the search list.
But Sumlin is building a special program in College Station, and his fondness for all that is Aggieland remains incredibly strong.
"It's not just another job to him," Murphy added. "It's not a steppingstone. He wants to raise his family here, and he's really got a connection to our university."
One that could keep him in charge of Aggie football for a long time. And how cool would that be?

Canadian Forces Base North Bay
Statement By Members
2 p.m.
Bob Wood Nipissing, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commend the work of the people in my riding of Nipissing for their efforts to save CFB North Bay. In recent weeks there has been a remarkable team effort made to inform the members of this government about the consequences of the NORAD facility leaving our city.
Our most powerful weapon has been the co-operation that has existed between all the stakeholders. So far we have received over 16,000 signatures on a petition to save our air base. This grassroots support is echoed across our community. It extends from the affected employees and their local unions to our city council and our business community.
This support has been essential in allowing Mayor Jack Burrows and I, along with the valuable assistance from North Bay MPP and Ontario Premier Mike Harris, to bring a strong and unified message to Ottawa.
This issue crosses political and ideological lines as we fight collectively to save hundreds of jobs in northeastern Ontario and northwestern Quebec.
The Budget
Statement By Members
2 p.m.
Leon Benoit Vegreville, AB
Mr. Speaker, this morning on CBC the finance minister said his government is focusing spending on those things which are most important to them: health care, children and jobs. Let us look at the record.
The minister has slashed $7 billion from health care, education and welfare. In fact health care has been cut 40 per cent. This is how the finance minister focuses on health care.
The minister has gouged the average family's after tax income by $3,000. Parents are working longer and harder just to make ends meet. This is how the finance minister focuses on children.
And jobs? Our unemployment rate is hovering around 10 per cent compared to Japan at 3.4 per cent and the United States at5.4 per cent. If the minister taxed less and left more in the hands of those who earn it, this would increase consumer spending and drive the economy and businesses to create jobs. Instead, through 36 tax increases this minister takes $24 billion more every year, killing jobs in our communities. This is how the finance minister focuses on jobs.
The finance minister's words and his record conflict.
National Battlefields Commission Of Canada
Statement By Members
2 p.m.
Gilles Bernier Beauce, QC
Mr. Speaker, I would like to draw attention to the archaic method used by The National Battlefields Commission of Canada to collect fines for traffic violations on federal property, particularly in Quebec City.
The people ticketed for very minor violations cannot pay the fines even if they wanted to because these fines are not set in advance. They have to immediately sign a guilty plea, which is referred to the Court of the Sessions of the Peace for a judge to set the amount of the fine and additional court costs. Failing that, the documents will be served on them.
This is a costly procedure for all taxpayers. It is high time that The National Battlefields Commission of Canada updated its procedures. This is another good way of saving money.
Medical Hall Of Fame
Statement By Members
2 p.m.
Pat O'Brien London—Middlesex, ON
Mr. Speaker, the Canadian Medical Hall of Fame is a national organization which recognizes the outstanding achievement of Canadian medical
scientists. The Medical Hall of Fame was founded in November 1993 and is located in my home city of London, Ontario which has earned an international reputation as a leading medical centre.
Inductees to the Medical Hall of Fame are all outstanding Canadians, both men and women, who have distinguished themselves with extraordinary careers to the benefit of mankind. Perhaps the best known example is Sir Frederick Banting, the discoverer of insulin, who started his work in London, Ontario.
Today I am pleased to welcome to Ottawa several distinguished laureates of the Medical Hall of Fame, accompanied by J. Allyn Taylor, honorary chair, Ted Eadinger, board director, Betsy Little, executive director and Barbara Tomlin, administrative assistant.
Matthieu Da Costa Award
Statement By Members
2 p.m.
Jean Augustine Etobicoke—Lakeshore, ON
Mr. Speaker, a year ago on February 13, along with the Minister of Canadian Heritage and the Secretary of State for Multiculturalism, I announced the Matthieu Da Costa award. The award honours black history month by commemorating the life of Da Costa, the first recorded black person in Canada. Through literary essay and art competitions it encourages students to explore contributions made by individuals of cultural minority backgrounds to the development of Canada.
Today I am proud to announce that elementary and secondary schools all over Canada from coast to coast actively participated in the award contest. A special ceremony was held at the Canadian Museum of Civilization to honour the 1997 winners. We all congratulate Skye Smith, Caitlyn Doyle, Crystal David, Marie-France Pare, Kimahli Powell, Marie-Claude Latreille, Warren George Lefthand and Michael Lomenda.
Along with the Canadian Teachers' Federation, I invite all members to join me in celebrating this truly unique initiative which fosters a shared sense of Canadian identity.
Medical Hall Of Fame
Statement By Members
2 p.m.
Sue Barnes London West, ON
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to welcome today to our nation's capital six members of the Canadian Medical Hall of Fame. Although we are very pleased to have the physical presence of London as the hall of fame the talent comes from across our diverse land.
Dr. Henry Barnett from London has been recognized for his work in stroke and clinical trials.
Dr. Douglas Harold Copp from Vancouver discovered the hormone calcitonin which regulates calcium levels in the blood.
Dr. Jacques Genest from Montreal has been recognized for his research on hypertension.
Dr. Herbert Jasper from Montreal has been recognized for his work in electrophysiology and EEG.
Dr. Charles Leblond from Montreal has been recognized for his research in anatomy and cell biology.
Dr. Robert Salter from Toronto has been recognized for his work in orthopedic surgery.
These individuals are our best and brightest. It is a wonderful and fitting tribute that they are here today. We owe them an immense debt of gratitude. I encourage all members to show their gratitude.
Unparliamentary Language
Statement By Members
2:05 p.m.
Madeleine Dalphond-Guiral Laval Centre, QC
Mr. Speaker, an election year is no doubt a time when things get a little hot in this place. That in itself comes as no surprise. What is regrettable however are the unacceptable attacks on our colleagues that we have witnessed on a number of occasions in the past few weeks.
Following the incident the hon. member for Beaver River was involved in yesterday, I would call upon each and every member of this House to behave like a mature adult.
The House of Commons is a forum for debating ideas. The fact that the two sides of this House hold diametrically opposed views is normal.
There is nothing wrong with heated debates per se, but I wish the respect we owe one another would always prevail. This way, unfortunate events that do nothing to improve the opinion the public has of parliamentarians could be prevented. This is another responsibility that rests with all of us.
Statement By Members
2:05 p.m.
Deborah Grey Beaver River, AB
Mr. Speaker, hello Edmonton North. I look forward to campaigning on Reform's platform of more jobs through smaller government and lower taxes and against the Liberals' tax gouging, job killing record.
The Minister of Finance says that he has not raised taxes. Oh, really?
What about the tax increase on life insurance premiums, gasoline, air transportation, private corporation dividends and securities?
What about the elimination of the lifetime capital gains exemption, the income test for age credit, and the lowering of the withdrawal age for RRSPs?
What about the 70 per cent increase in CPP premiums that will deliver $9,000 a year to Edmonton pensioners while the MP pension plan yields five to six times that amount?
Call it what you like but it is still a tax, T-A-X. By increasing overall taxes for Edmontonians 30 per cent and personal taxes40 per cent, the Liberals have picked an extra billion dollars out of our pockets.
Let us set things right. Hello, Edmonton North.
Fonds De Solidarité Des Travailleurs Du Québec
Statement By Members
2:05 p.m.
Paul Crête Kamouraska—Rivière-Du-Loup, QC
Mr. Speaker, I want to applaud the joint decision made by the Fonds de solidarité des travailleurs du Québec and the Fonds régional du Bas-Saint-Laurent to invest $1.5 million in Carrière Glendyne, located in Saint-Marc-du-Lac-Long. This investment will bring the slate mine back into production and preserve 60 direct jobs in this small village of 534 people.
Getting Carrière Glendyne back into operation will give new impetus to the economy in Saint-Marc-du-Lac-Long. The initial stages involving rock scaling activities have resumed, and it is expected that all of the company's 60 employees will be called back to work by March 17.
Quebec is among the world's ten largest mining countries, and the first one in the Francophonie. To be a master in one's own home is to have at one's disposal the means to make decisions and to fully benefit from them.
The Budget
Statement By Members
2:05 p.m.
John Solomon Regina—Lumsden, SK
Mr. Speaker, this budget is yet another Liberal con job.
Instead of jobs, there is $3.2 billion in further cuts to social programs scheduled this year. Instead of helping to reduce child poverty now, there is another red book promise to help children in need effective July 1998, only 18 months from now. And if it does materialize, it is only 20 per cent of the commitment the B.C. NDP government has made to help end child poverty now.
The Liberals have taken $14 billion out of the economy through cuts to social programs. Now they insult Canadians with a snow job pre-election budget. This budget offers nothing for struggling families who are looking for stable employment and no hope for their children's future.
The Liberals have achieved one thing. In 1993, the last year of the Mulroney government, 5,250 taxpayers earning over $70,000 per year paid no taxes. Under the Liberals, there has been a 400 per cent increase: 21,270 Canadians earning over $70,000 a year paid no taxes.
Women's Institute
Statement By Members
2:05 p.m.
Larry McCormick Hastings—Frontenac—Lennox And Addington, ON
Mr. Speaker, I appreciate this opportunity to celebrate the centennial of the Women's Institute with my colleagues in the House. Over the last 100 years the work of the Women's Institute has become well known and respected across Canada and around the world.
The movement began with one woman, Adelaide Hoodless, and her response to the death of her 18-month old son from drinking impure milk. Impelled by her personal loss, Mrs. Hoodless became an activist campaigning for clean milk. On February 19, 1897 at Stoney Creek, Ontario the Women's Institute began, creating a movement to educate women in the home sciences.
The local movement spread quickly to become the pre-eminent women's organization in Canada. At the turn of the century the concept spread to Britain and throughout Europe. In 1933 the organizations joined forces and the Association of Country Women of the World was formed.
Over the years, issues have changed and the WI continues to make a difference. I am honoured to acknowledge those who continue that important community based work which was started a century ago.
National Child Benefit System
Statement By Members
February 19th, 1997 / 2:10 p.m.
Paddy Torsney Burlington, ON
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased today to draw attention to the Liberal government's commitment toward building a strong future for all Canadians, especially Canadian children.
Yesterday we were presented with a workable budget, a budget that invests in jobs, health care, education and children.
The government has long recognized that children are our greatest resource, that they are our future and we must invest in them. The government has made the investment.
The national child benefit system is an innovative approach to reducing the number of Canadian children who live in poverty. The new system will provide a total of $6 billion in assistance to low
income families across Canada which will improve the living standards of hundreds of thousands of Canadian children.
The national child benefit system is a step forward in the fight against child poverty. It is exactly the type of program that will give our children a fighting chance for a better future. It demonstrates our commitment to our future: Canada's children.
The Budget
Statement By Members
2:10 p.m.
Raymond Lavigne Verdun—Saint-Paul, QC
Mr. Speaker, yesterday, the Minister of Finance confirmed that our deficit reduction objectives have not only been reached but exceeded. Indeed, the deficit is a little over $5 billion less than expected.
Yesterday, the Minister of Finance announced that his budget does not include any tax increase or new tax affecting individuals or corporations.
Yesterday, the minister also showed that it is possible to manage public finances effectively, while also helping the poor in our society. And I do mean the poor in our society.
Our government has once again demonstrated that the solution to our country's economic and social problems does not lie with extremists, but is based on a good Liberal government establishing a balance between economic and social needs.
International Trade
Statement By Members
2:10 p.m.
Benoît Sauvageau Terrebonne, QC
Mr. Speaker, from February 22 to 26, the Minister for International Trade and sixty or so business people will make an official visit to Israel and the Palestinian territories.
The Bloc Quebecois expects the minister to raise the topics of democracy and human rights in his meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu. A climate of peace and democracy is essential to prosperous trade between our countries.
We hope the minister will take advantage of this trip to obtain, from the Palestinian authorities, the letters promised during consideration of the bill to implement the Canada-Israel Free Trade Agreement. We are still waiting for these letters.
This Middle East visit is therefore important and the results of the minister's meetings during this trip must be made public and will be of the greatest interest for the future of the Canadian and Quebec economies in this part of the world.
