A copy of the petition and list of the documents and information required to be available at the special meeting is printed on page 8 of this edition. Band elder and petition spokesperson Melvin Eagle told Press/ ON in a phone interview on Wednesday this week, "we have been hearing and reading a lot about the financial problems at Red Lake and Leech Lake, the bad economy, the stock market collapse, the Enron, WorldCom and Arthur Anderson scandals, so we began wondering if any of this has affected our Band. You know, if you stop and estimate the profits from our two casinos since we opened the doors at Mille Lacs and Hinckley, we should have something around $500 million invested for us somewhere. I think it's time we find out from our tribal officials who invested that money, when it was invested, what was the cost of the investment, the investment fees and the value ofthe investment as of today. We need a complete report on the current financial status ofthe Band." "We're not really after anyone in particular, that is why the petition only asks for a meeting and an accounting. Of course, if Band officials don't cooperate and give us the meeting and the information we want or if we aren't happy with what we find out, then we'll consider steps to remove them and replace them with people who will." Eagle further told Press/ON, "it's also time we find out what the Band's corporate commission does and what it costs us. Here we have this huge bureaucracy and we don't even know what it does. We also want to know why we need all this government we have over there at the government center. Why we are involved in all these PACs, why do we need all these lobbyists, attorneys, pubhc relations firms and participation and memberships in all the organizations we are in? The petition was designed to find all this out." According to Eagle, the petition was brought both under provisions of the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe Constitution and Band ordinance because both give band membership certain rights the Band government must comply with. He said petition carriers plan to go door to door on the reservation and hold community meetings in the Mille Lacs area and Twin Cities. He said that he estimated they need around 150 signatures to meet the statutory requirements but they plan on getting a lot more than that. He also said they will check with the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe for the exact number of signatures needed. In the March 22,2002 edition, Press/ON reported that the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe received over $14 million in fiscal year 2000 from the federal government to operate programs. In addition, this publication estimates that the Band earns over $100 milhon a year in net profit from its two casinos. Eagle said he estimates less than 1000 Mille Lacs Band members hve on the Mille Lacs Reservation. Mille Lacs chief executive Melanie Benjamin told Press/ON that she had not yet seen a copy of the petition circulating at Mtile Lacs. "If they're referring to what was done under the past administration," Melanie said, at that time the band "had a corporate commis- PETITION to page 8 VOICE OF THE PEO PL E by Clara NiiSka The profitability oflndian gambling operations in Minnesota depends on a state-sanctioned monopoly on casino gambling. The pohtical volatility of such gambling monopolies has combined with the huge cash-flow and lucrative profitability of some Indian casinos, the BIA's historical legacy of corrupt pohtical 'machines,' and the high costs of campaigning in television ads to change the face of politics. Mille Lacs band chief executive Melanie Benjamin is among the tribal officials against whom a formal complaints was filed with the Federal Elections Commission on October 23rd. Melanie's campaign contributions to candidate James Oberstar were in excess of the legal limits, according to the documents filed by Twin Cities activists David Hoch and Joseph Marble. Citing information posted online by the Center for Responsive Politics (http:// www.opensecrets.org) and the Federal Election Commission (http://www.fec.gov/ finance_reports.html), Hoch and Marble complain that, "Ms. Benjamin contributed $1,000 on 01/ 15/02, and another $1,000 on 04/ 05/02, both to James Oberstar's General Election Fund, and on 094/05/02, another $1,000 to James Oberstar's Primary Election Fund." Democratic Congressman Oberstar, whose 8"1 Congressional District encompasses both MiUe Lacs and Leech I^ake, explains on his campaign website that his "number one priority as a U.S. Representative is to improve the quality of life for the people who sent him to Washington DC on their behalf." Press/ON called Melanie Benjamin, explained that a formal complaint had been filed, and asked her about the campaign contributions. She said that she had not yet seen the complaint, so this writer read the relevant portions over the phone. Melanie declined to comment, explaining, "I have to see it first, before I can respond to it. It's only proper for me" to read it carefully before commenting. She said that the band's mail "is not dehvered until 11:00." Press/ ON faxed the complaint, but Melanie, who told this writer that she would be leaving the office to meet with elders, had not responded by press time. Press/ON also asked Melanie about the reasons for her support for Rep. Oberstar. She responded in terms of "government relations," explaining that "we have a strategy of how we contribute" to pohtical candidates. "You are looking at one specific candidate," she said of Press/ONs questions about Oberstar, "but we have a series of candidates" we support. Hoch and Marble's complaint also cites "failure of affihated federal PACs to report as one unit," specifically including two lobbyists' PACs which they say interlock with the Mtile Lacs Band's PAC (Mah Mah Wi No Mind Fund): Lockridge, Grindal, Nauen, et al., and Holland and Knight. The other group of affihated PACs addressed by the complaint includes five tribal PACs which, according to Hoch and Marble, "are all members of the National Indian Gaming Assoc": the Mashantucket Pequot Tribe, the Tunica-Biloxi Tribe of Louisiana, the San Manuel Mission Band of Indians, the Pojoaque Pueblo Indian Tribe, and the Mille Lacs Band. Details of Minnesota campaign contributions, compiled by Hoch and Marble, are printed on page 8 of this issue. Controversy over the folding green pohtical influence being wielded by Indian gambling enterprises and tribal governments is not limited to Minnesota. During UN reaffirms indigenous role in environmental defense By Jeff Armstrong Despite concerted opposition from the United States, indigenous delegates to the recent environmental summit in South Africa preserved the status they achieved at the first such conference in 1992, according to summit participant Tom Goldtooth. "We did get the declaration of indigenous rights included in the Pohtical Declaration [on Sustainable Development]," said Goldtooth, director ofthe Bemidji, Minnesota-based Indigenous Environmental Network. "There were commitments made by all countries, including the United States." Although the final draft from the Johannesburg summit does not specifically mention indigenous peoples, it reaffirms their consultative status recognized at the original Earth Summit held 10 years earlier in Rio de Janeiro. Goldtooth said an exhausted U.S. delegation failed to intervene against language in the declaration which commits UN member nations to "effective implementation of Agenda 21." The relevant section of Agenda 21 states: "Indigenous people and their communties and other local communities have a vital role in environmental management and development because of their knowledge and traditional practices. States should recognize and duly support their identity, culture and interests and enable their effective participation in the achievement of sustainable development." But Goldtooth said the State Department resisted virtually every substantive proposal brought to the table, forcing the scaling back by nearly half of a modest proposal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 10% by the year 2010. "They said they had to reduce the goal to 5.7% to avoid a global economic collapse," he said. Goldtooth said the U.S. insists that Natives have no collective rights at the international level— only individual rights under domestic law. Yet while asserting that it represents its indigenous peoples as citizens, the government contradictorily rejects sincere dialogue with Native American representatives. "They said 'we're not accountable to you. We're accountable to the industries and Congress,'" said Goldtooth.

In Oklahoma, employees of the Choctaw tribe claimed they were pressured or "forced" to make contributions to the campaign funds of U.S. Senator Jim Inhofe and Rep. Brad Carson, and campaign records show six Choctaw tribal executives contributed a combined $3,000 to Carson's campaign. In Idaho, where Indian gambling is a hot issue, Democrat Bruce Perry fueled ongoing con- ^ troversy over campaign finances with his "drive for $49.90 contributions," whose donors do not have to be identified under state law, and tribal leaders from Coeur d'Alene and Nez Perce have pumped more than $2 milhon into this year's pohtical campaigns. In Arizona, Congressman J.D. Hayworth has received more than a quarter of a milhon doUars from tribes, tribal PACs and their lobbyists in 14 states. National Indian Gaming Association lobbyist John Harte reportedly described Hayworth as "a good friend of Indians." In California, the Agua Cahente band of Cahutila Indians has made more than half a milhon doUars in campaign contributions to encourage construction of a rati line mass-transporting gamblers from Los Angeles to their casino. The band is being sued by the Fair Pohtical Practices Commission for not disclosing recipients of another $7.5 miUion in lobbying contributions, which the band was late in reporting. Auga attorneys argue that, as a sovereign nation, the band is not obhgated to comply with the state's pohtical reform laws.

Oldman and Hanna rode on the New Dawn NativeDancer's float, a dance troop for American Indian youth. enous peoples are on the frontlines of a battle for the future of life on earth, pointing to declining as weU as deteriorating water supplies across the world. However, Goldtooth said Natives must organize on reservations independently of tribal administrations. "We're dealing with 500 dumping proposals in Indian Country, coming to our lands with highly toxic wastes. The IEN was formed because our leaders were starting to look at these activities as economic development opportunities. When we deal with the issue of toxic wastes, we're also dealing with the issues of decolonization, we're dealing with internalized oppression," said Goldtooth. Like the indigenous peoples of the southern rainforests, the JEN is seeking to "put a human face" on the ecological movement by making the connection between human rights and the environment, Goldtooth said. The environmental activist said he found a number of allies among the nations of Africa, which he said has seen a signficant emergence of indigenous identity. Bemidji State aims to recruit, retain American Indian students Associated Press BEMIDJI, Minn. — Recruiting and retaining American Indian students is the top priority of a new American Indian Resource Center at Bemidji State University. "It is my top mission to minimize dropouts" said Lee Cook the center's new executive direction. The $2.6 miUion center being built west ofthe footbaU stadium wtil house the coUege's Indian Studies Program, Ojibwe language minor, offices, exhibits and a cultural area. Long-range plans caU for an archive repository. But right now, Cook said the center wiU concentrate on attracting students and keeping them in the classroom. Bemidji State has the largest percentage of American Indian students than any other campus in the state, said Cook who is a member of the Red Lake Band of Chippewa. "We aren't doing recruiting," he said. "There are one-thousand Indian students at Cass Lake and we have only two. We need to reach into the middle schools and get younger kids tuned into college." Cook said he's working closely with tribal coUeges, including at Red Lake and Leech Lake, to attract students. He's also working with other campuses with Indian studies programs, including the University of Minnesota-Duluth and the University of Wisconsin- Superior. "We'd like to convene national symposiums here, at the heart of Indian country in the state," he said. "The center can also have an impact on the non-Indian community, though speakers, musicians and poets." Cook said he has been active in raising some $300,000 to furnish and equip the center, which should open at this time next year. ■ Tribe rebuilding Appaloosa horse-breeding legacy lost after 1877 By Nicholas K. Geranios Associated Press LAPWAI, Idaho — Redwing Two Moons hung on to the reins as the exotic horse raced around a smaU circular corral. Rarely ridden, the horse known as YeUowhand was refusing to take orders from the 16-year-old member of the Nez Perce Indian tribe. But after several minutes, the exhausted horse slowed to a trot, and submitted to the teenager's wtil. "You did good, Redwing," riding instructor Rudy Shebala said. "You got the worst out of him, that's for sure." "You keep him running until he acts good." Despite the dust and the sweat, this smaU drama was an exercise in cultural pride. After Chief Joseph made his famous vow in 1877 to "fight no more forever," the U.S. Army stripped the Nez Perce of their prized Appaloosa horses. It took more than a century, but the Nez Perce are finaUy breeding horses again. "We are keeping up the traditions of our ancestors in our time," said Shebala, who runs the horse program for the tribe. Horses were the trademark ofthe Nez Perce since they first acquired runaway Spanish animals in the 1700s. EventuaUy they bred the Appaloosa war horses that aUowed them to become a dominant Inland Northwest tribe. Those horses were the ones that helped a smaU band of Nez Perce warriors to outrun and outfight the U.S. Army for more than four months in 1877. Despite being slowed by their women and children, the sick and the elderly, the Nez Perce conducted an epic flight across parts of Idaho, Wyoming and Montana with the Army in pursuit. Only 40 miles from the Canadian border, soldiers caught the Indians in the Bear Paw Mountains of Montana. Rather than see his people annihilated, Chief Joseph laid down his rifle and the Nez Perce were taken to Fort Leavenworth in Kansas. Many ofthe tribe's surviving horses were given as prizes to soldiers and other whites, and to tribes that helped the Army. Some of the animals were slaughtered. With their nomadic existence at an end the Nez Perce found httle use for horses in the foUowing century, even after they were resettled on a reservation in northern Idaho. WhUe individual Nez Perce continued to raise horses, the practice was dormant as a tribal enterprise until the mid-1990s, when apro- posal was made to start a horse farm as a "culturaUy appropriate" business. By then, the Appaloosa breed had been appropriated by other horsemen, and is now registered by the Appaloosa Horse Club of nearby Moscow, Idaho. So the tribe decided to create its own breed. They mixed western Appaloosa mares and Akhal-Teke stallions from Turkmenistan in Central Asia. A new registry, the Nez Perce horse, was launched. "We wanted to create a modem Nez Perce horse," Shebala said. That's more difficult than it sounds, because over the centuries humans have mixed many combination of horses to create breeds, and it can be difficult to find a new mixture. The first four stallions were donated to the tribe by a Minnesota breeder. The idea was to blend the Appaloosa's blocky, muscular traits, and distinctive spots on the rump, to the slim and elegant Akhal-Teke horse. The Asian horses are believed to be simUar to the original Spanish horses brought to North America, which were the ancestors of the Nez Perce war horse. The new breed — the oldest is now 6 years old — is distinguished by a deep chest, pronounced withers and long muscles. The horses are taU and built for endurance. Besides breeding horses, the program is intended to teach Nez Perce youth the arts of horsemanship and horse management, and the business opportunities avaUable. Money is made by selling horses and offering trati rides to APPALOOSA to page 3 Tribal appeals court says felons cannot run for Turtle Mountain Council By Dale Wetzel Associated Press BISMARCK, N.D.-The Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa tribe may ban felons from serving on the Tribal Council, an appeals court ruled. The provision is not meant to punish felons, "but instead is an attempt at assuring the electorate that candidates for pubhc office wiU be of the highest moral character and integrity," Chief Justice BJ. Jones wrote in a five-page opinion. Lynn Boughey, an attorney for the Tribal CouncU, said the decision means council candidate Lee Gourneau is no longer ehgible to run. Gourneau was convicted of felony aggravated assault in 1968. Gourneau formerly served on the council, before tribal voters approved a change to the tribe's constitution in February 1997 that made felons ineligible to serve on the coun cU, or to run for one of its nine seats. Two weeks ago, Tribal Judge Richard Frederick ruled that the tribal constitutional provision was an Ulegal retroactive punishment The felon ban violated the U.S. Constitution and federal civti rights laws, Frederick concluded. The appeals court's decision on Wednesday said Frederick was mistaken in invoking the U.S. Constitu- FEL0NS to page 6

I have been wearing vanilla musk for so many years that I've lost count! Now I cannot find it anywhere!! I do not have any left and do not know what to do!! It has been my trademark scent for over a decade. Love the scent, and so do both men and women. I would get asked often what scent I was wearing.

I am 62 yrs old & this scent has been my favorite since the first time I bought it when Coty released it! I get compliments every single time I wear it.....men LOVE it and when I asked a few of them WHY, they said...."it smells light....fresh...."sexy" without being a scent that overpowers a person." Every time I wear it around new people they will ask "what is that wonderful scent you have on"? When a woman gets compliments from other WOMEN on her scent, that, to me, is the highest form of flattery! Especially the next time I see that person & can smell that they are now wearing "MY" scent! I hope Coty NEVER stops making "VANILLA MUSK" !!!!!

I've been using this cologne for over 20 years. The fact that people I don't even know ask what I'm wearing says a lot. Men love it and often ask me what the fragrance is. I cannot find it in the stores anymore. I wish it was easier to find. I'm so happy I found it on this website! I usually stock up with 2 or 3 bottles so I won't run out. I wear it to work and also when I go out at night. It has become my signature fragrance.

Coty Vanilla Musk is soft , clean and rich. It lasts all day on skin, hair and clothing. It's great to wear alone or layered with other fragrances. It's mostly rich vanilla with a touch of soft musk, perfectly balanced. Works as a unisex fragrance, too, since it's sweet but not too sweet. There's nothing harsh, offensive or overpowering in this fragrance. It wears close to skin, but is still pleasantly noticeable. Coty Vanilla Musk very smooth, warm, rich, lasting, and smells expensive. Wish Coty would offer this fragrance in a larger bottle. Happy to find Coty Vanilla fragrances still sold here and really appreciate the excellent service at FragranceNet !

The Utilities Division provides long term support for water and wastewater services for the community. Water supply and treatment are two critical components of the future.
The Canobie Lake Water Treatment Facility treats the water supply of Canobie Lake to produce high quality drinking water. The facility has a capacity to provide up to 6.0 million gallons per day (mgd). The treatment facility was designed and built to comply with EPA's Safe Drinking Water Act and Surface Water Treatment Rule.
The Canobie Lake water supply is important to the Town of Salem. Increasing Population and water demand are approaching the limits of the available supplies in Salem. Additional supplies are needed and existing supplies must be reliable. By filtering the surface water, the threat of bacterial contamination is substantially reduced and Canobie Lake becomes an extremely reliable source of drinking water for present and future needs.
Canobie Lake and Arlington Pond are the Utilities Division's two reservoirs. There is no swimming in Canobie Lake. Arlington Pond draw down starts on Columbus Day week. The gates are closed on or about Patriots Day week to refill the Pond, barring any unforeseen spring thaw events. Should residents experience discolored clothing as a result of a water main break; "red-out" rust remover may be obtained at the Canobie Lake Water Treatment Plant. Residents that experience problems with watercolor, taste, or pressure are urged to call the Canobie Lake Water Treatment Plant.
Water distribution/construction requests for inspections must be made 24 hours in advance. Please call (603) 890-2156 for further details.
Requests for final meter readings may be made by calling (603) 890-2042.

Ok, forgive me if this has been posted before but I'd like recent ideas (maybe make it a sticky?)
Are there any good websites (or Alissa books!) on how to get started with sprouting.
I've read a few, but I'm asking you guys because I would like to hear it from raw foodists point of view and what you do! Any tips or tricks? Best types of sprouts for raw foodists?
It's just I find an overwhelming amount of info. all over the place for something that seems so simple!
Thanks :)

I'm wondering if anyone is keeping track of the time they have invested in their KAL or CAL project. I never used to do this, but when my mom started making quilts and people in shops couldn't understand why handmade quilts were so pricey, she started keeping track of the hours she spent on each quilt she made. I think she records them in a book, but sometimes on her tag that reads Lovingly made for you by____, she writes in the number of hours she spent making it. (She doesn't sell them - just makes them for family members). She uses it more for keeping track of estimating how much time she will need to do a certain sort of project in future rather than thinking about the value of each particular quilt, but people usually say WOW when she can answer "How much time did it take you to DO that"?
Anyway, I got to thinking about the hours I have spent on my KAL.
Choosing yarn, ordering, colour tutorials, etc. = 2 hours (I agonize more than others)
Making gauge swatch = 1 hour
Knitting 24 blocks (approx. 5 hrs per block) = 120 hours (I'm slower than some)
Mistakes (frogging, redoing blocks, etc.) = 20 hours (oh, those 4 difficult clue 3 blocks!)
Seaming = 5 hours (that one surprised me - went faster than I expected!)
Making borders (still working on it!)
So far 148 hours. Adds up fast when you're having fun!
And I'm not counting taking photos and chatting on the forum!
That doesn't count (well, maybe if you come to get help or have questions. Maybe that should count too. What do you think? Maybe I should put in there some time off for frustration or working through....hmmmm)

Disneyland honors Alice Davis with a Main Street window at Disneyland
Disney announced on Monday, during a special event at Club 33 inside Disneyland park, that Alice Davis will be honored with her own window on Main Street USA on the 10th May.
Alice Davis is well known for her costume design work and has styled some of the most beloved characters at Disney Parks including those found in the classic attractions, its a small world and Pirates of the Caribbean. She first designed costumes for the Walt Disney Studios during the production of Sleeping Beauty. It was common for animators to use live-action footage as reference it helped them to see how the actors, fabrics, hair and other elements moved.
She continued to design costumes for the Walt Disney Studios until 1963, when she undertook a costuming project that would go on to become one of the most famous theme park attractions in the world. Along with fellow Disney Legend Mary Blair, Alice supervised the creation of more than 150 costumes for its a small world, helping to bring to life the iconic dolls who would sing the unforgettable theme song.
Alice Davis was inducted in 2004 as a Disney Legend, an award given by the company.
The last window dedication was for the Sherman brothers, the songwriting duo who wrote about 150 songs for Disney.
If ever there is a tomorrow when we're not together.......
there is something you must always remember.
You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.
But the most important thing is, even if we're apart...... I'll always be with you.
Winne the Pooh - A A Milne
A friend is a hand that is always holding yours,
no matter how close or far apart you may be.
A friend is someone who is always there and will always, always care.
A friend is a feeling of forever in the heart.
Re: Disneyland honors Alice Davis with a Main Street window at Disneyland
I know I've banged on about it before but Lisa and I spent a whole afternoon with her and her husband the now late Marc ( google him he truely was a legend ) between them they have been responsible for an awful lot of magic.
A nicer lady you couldn't hope to meet. One of the most magical days we have had.

At the age of 24, Bob Coy left an executive position in the music industry to serve as an associate pastor with Calvary Chapel of Las Vegas. In 1985, Bob and his wife, Diane, moved to South Florida and began Calvary Chapel of Fort Lauderdale. As senior pastor, he has become well known for his unique style in expounding the Scriptures, making them come alive and relate to those of us living in the 21st century. His teaching style emphasizes "life application" of the highest standards of God's truth while his delivery captures the loving heart of God's Spirit.
Pastor Bob has had the rare privilege of watching God's miraculous hand in the individual lives of those in the fellowship as well as the corporate body as a whole. From the first meeting in a living room with four in attendance, Calvary Chapel Ft. Lauderdale has now become home to thousands of men and women from the South Florida tri-county area.
Though many have tried to attribute the rapid growth to numerous reasons, no one is more surprised by the phenomenon than Pastor Bob Coy, who gives the total credit and glory to God alone.

Scotland's women's soccer teams had mixed results against Hoke County at Raz Autry Stadium in Raeford Wednesday night. The junior varsity side tied, while varsity lost 2-0.
Hoke County goalkeeper Breyona McNair saved two penalties in the second half to preserve a 1-1 draw with Scotland's JV team.
Hoke County coach Casandra Urriola said she expected McNair to save the penalties, even though that is often one of the toughest tasks for a keeper.
"She has great reflexes so I expected her to catch them. Her reflexes are really her strength," Urriola said.
Scotland coach Casey Plummer, in her first season, said this was the first time all season the team had actually been given a penalty, and it isn't something they practice often. She did, however, see improvement in her squad.
"There are still things we need to work on, like stringing together passes, crossing better and looking up field to see who's open," Plummer said. "But we were much better with our spacing and not clumping up as much."
The Scots had taken the lead five minutes before halftime on a goal scored by Emonica Bullock. Scotland had looked the better side to that point, getting the majority of the chances and possession. But McNair had been doing a good job of keeping the ball out of the net, stopping several breakaways anyway she could, whether with her hands or feet. But the Scots were finally able to put one past her after Jasmine McLean stole the ball from a defender in the box and crossed it to a wide open Bullock, who tapped it in.
Both sides were pretty even from then, but it looked like Scotland would go ahead with 20 minutes left after Hoke County was called for a foul and McLean stepped up. However, McNair read her kick right and blocked it. McLean rushed for the rebound but the keeper scooped it up before she could tap it in.
Perhaps revitalized by the effort of its keeper, Hoke County finally managed to find the goal and made it level with just 12 minutes left to play. From there on out both sides looked pretty even, until Scotland was awarded another penalty with seven minutes remaining. But, just like the first time, McNair saved the shot – and the game – for her side.
Hoke County didn't need any goalkeeper heroics in the varsity match. Two goals in the first half put them too far ahead for Scotland to mount a comeback. The Scots' best chance came with 14 minutes left in the first half, when a headed ball hit the back of the net. However, the referee ruled it as offside.
Scotland coach Colin McDavid said his team put forth a great effort, but just couldn't seem to find that final touch.
"I can't say anything bad about the girls' effort," he said. "They all gave it their all out there, but it just didn't happen tonight."
Scotland did a good job of spreading the field out, often attacking from the wings. However, their attempted crosses to the far post usually came up short, allowing Hoke County's keeper to cut off any scoring chances.
McDavid said he hopes to find some revenge when Scotland hosts Hoke County after spring break.

McKitterick and mother of William George McKitterick and Tom McKitterick, and grandmother of Simone McKitterick, William McKitterick and Victoria McKitterick.
Born in Newton, Massachusetts in 1920, she grew up in Cambridge, Massachusetts with her mother Louise Thomas, her father Errold Thomas and her sister Victoria Jacobson.

Once finalized, it will be China's largest overseas energy acquisition, coming at a time when other Chinese companies such as telecommunications giant Huawei are encountering difficulties in expanding in North America, Europe and Australia.
Wang Yilin, chairman of China National Offshore Oil Co., said the approval is recognition of the acquisition's long-term economic benefits for Calgary, Alberta and Canada.
Nexen is headquartered in Calgary in Canada's Alberta province and is to remain there after CNOOC's takeover as its head office for north and central American operations.
"I express my appreciation for Canada's welcome of our investment," Wang said in a statement Saturday.
CNOOC Chief Executive Officer Li Fanrong said the takeover will bring opportunities for Nexen employees, partners and CNOOC. "We are delighted that the Ministry of Industry has concluded that this transaction represents a 'net benefit' to Canada," he said.
China's Ministry of Commerce could not be reached for comment Saturday.
Despite the approval, the Canadian government said it will reject any future takeovers in the oil sands sector by foreign state-owned companies unless there are exceptional circumstances.
"To be blunt, Canadians have not

LAS VEGAS — One thing is certain about Las Vegas: it changes on an almost daily basis.
It's not the same city that the laundry industry visited at Clean '03, and definitely isn't the same as it was for Clean '97. It has grown from a small desert town to one of the fastest growing cities in the country.
Gone are the dark, velvet-walled hotels and casinos of Bugsy Siegel's day. The new Las Vegas continues to add larger, more elaborate and elegant hotels and towering condominiums to its skyline.

A star earning his stripes: Randle named to USA Basketball U18 National Team
BY Matt Welch, email@example.com
Over the past three years, Prestonwood Christian Academy senior Julius Randle has distinguished himself as one of the area, state and nation's top high school hoopsters.
That much was apparent during the five days that encompassed the training camp for the 2012 USA Basketball Men's U18 National Team, held in Colorado Springs, starting June 5.
What began as a field of 23 was whittled down through two cuts and when the dust settled, Randle emerged as one of the 12 members of Team USA.
"It'll help expose him to more things and help him grow in the game of basketball."
Randle, ranked among the nation's top prospects for the Class of 2013 (No. 2 by ESPN and No. 3 by Rivals), and his teammates departed for Sao Sebastio de Paraiso, Brazil, Tuesday for the FIBA Americas U18 Championship, which run Saturday through Wednesday.
"I think we've got some balance, we've got some versatility, we can move guys to some different positions," said Billy Donovan, Team USA head coach. "This has been a group that has picked up things pretty well so far, so I'm excited about it. The thing I've been most impressed with since we started is just their attitudes. It seems like we've got really good chemistry; they get along real well and seem to be a cohesive group."
Donovan, also the head coach at Florida, is joined by Virginia Commonwealth's Shaka Smart and Gonzaga's Mark Few in helming Team USA.
A squad laden in nationally-ranked talent, Randle began the tryout process as one of just six representatives invited from the Class of 2013. Training camp was held at the U.S. Olympic Training Center, where players were subjected to two-a-day sessions over a five-day period.
Randle emphasized rounding out his skill-set in scrimmages and doing what was needed, compared to being called upon to score 20-plus points a night at Prestonwood.
On June 8, the field of 23 was narrowed to 14 and the following night, the official 12-man roster was unveiled. Randle was one of two members of his class to make the cut and three players from Texas on the roster -- Flower Mound Marcus product Marcus Smart and Houston Strake Jesuit alum Rashad Sulaimon.
The team also boasts plenty of size, with seven players standing at least 6-foot-7.
"I think we have to play up tempo, we have to offensive rebound," Donovan said. "And I think the other thing for our team that we have to get better at is taking care of the basketball. I think when you've got a lot of players that are thrown together and are now starting to play, they don't really know each other."
The players have just a couple more days to iron out any kinks before taking the court Saturday for the first of three pool play matchups. Things kick off Saturday at noon CST when Team USA squares off with U.S. Virgin Islands, followed by Mexico on Sunday and Brazil on Monday.
From there, a potential spot in the semifinals would be played Tuesday with the gold medal game held Wednesday.
Divided into two pools, the top four teams will qualify for next summer's 2013 FIBA U19 World Championship.
Randle and the U.S. will be eying a sixth gold medal. Team USA is 38-2 in the FIBA Americas U18 Championship with previous gold medals captured in 1990, 1994, 1998, 2006 and 2010 while finishing second in 2008 and third in 2002. The tournament has hosted a litany of the NBA's top players, including Carmelo Anthony (2002), Chris Bosh (2002), Deron Williams (2002) and Kyrie Irving (2010).
Randle's name is now etched alongside those Team USA alumni, pursuing the latest step in his trek toward his senior year with the Lions.
"[Randle] gets to continue growing his leadership and his ability to affect the game without having to score," Mayberry said. "He gets to continue being a better overall player and I just want him to be ready for whatever comes after he leaves Prestonwood; being exposed to college coaches and learning how to play with other great players is a big thing he's working through and getting better at all the time."

Same-Day Analysis
Health Reform Arguments Reach Crescendo in US Supreme Court; Decision Expected in June
Published: 3/29/2012
A historic debate ensued in the US Supreme Court over the legitimacy of key elements of the new healthcare reform law that could potentially see a dynamic change in the way Americans receive care and pay for it.
IHS Global Insight Perspective | |
Significance | Three days of intense arguments over the new healthcare reform law came to a conclusion yesterday (28 March), with the courts examining whether the individual mandate to buy insurance is unconstitutional and the impact of Medicaid expansion on states. |
Implications | The main point of contention was on the individual mandate, and if struck down, whether it will mean the entire law is defunct or whether the legislation can be unravelled to accommodate that distinction. The notion that the individual mandate could be dropped is detrimental to the health insurance industry, which has already made changes to accommodate the expected expansion in membership count. |
Outlook | The court will have until June to make a decision and the pivotal point is to distinguish whether the individual mandate is considered as a tax or not. It is likely that the law will survive despite the scepticism shown by the justices towards the individual mandate issue. |
The US Supreme Court's nine judges this week examined key parts of the new healthcare reform law announced in early 2010 as part of President Barack Obama's commitment to improve healthcare access in the country. For the first three days of the week, arguments were heard from the government and the critics of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act spotlighting the benefits and rights of Americans with respect to healthcare. There were essentially three key areas on which the arguments were primarily centred. These are set out below.
Individual Mandate
The centrepiece of the legislation, wherein every American should hold some form of health insurance or pay a penalty. This law is to be effective from 2014 as the rollout of the reform process continues from 2010. To critics, the decree challenges the very right of choice and free market, and they have labeled it unconstitutional. The justices questioned the realm of the decree, examining whether the decree was a tax. Conservative judge Antonin Scalia questioned the veracity of the law, asking where it will stop if the government can force Americans to buy insurance. Although it was agreed that people would require healthcare at some point, the option of buying insurance just before the delivery of care was discussed as a potential move to provide greater flexibility to patients. This issue only highlighted the fact that insurance would be required, however, whether it is purchased at the point of care or much earlier. The government put its weight behind the latter.
Can The Law Be Unravelled
Following the individual mandate discussions, the justices also took into account whether striking down the individual mandate aspect of the legislation would automatically bring down the entire reform legislation. There were arguments in effect seeking to examine if some parts of the law could be scrapped. Indeed, it was accepted that unravelling of the healthcare reform law would be "messy", particularly as the mandate rules are tied to various other aspects of the legislation. Interestingly, the government contended that a preferred outcome against a repeal of the entire law could be to scrap certain rules tied to the mandate, if the court was inclined to strike down the mandate (source: Wall Street Journal). This would mean, however, that the Supreme Court would have to go through each and every clause in the legislation to make a decision that was not receptive to the justices.
State Medicaid Expansion
On a separate note, the justices also examined whether the Medicaid expansion plans requiring state governments to implement the norms or risk cuts in funding was legitimate. Here too, the issue moved towards whether the federal government was expanding its remit by forcing state governments to execute the expansion. The Medicaid expansion programme would essentially add 10 million onto the healthcare scheme over the next 10 years, with the federal government providing funding for 90% of the cost of the coverage for newly eligibles. Here, the federal government faced lawsuits from 26 states, which argued that the state government did not have a choice in accepting the new requirements.
Outlook and Implications
The arguments of the past three days brought to the fore key areas of the healthcare law that are under scrutiny and have faced increasing criticism from some quarters. It is important to note that this is as much a political debate as a healthcare one, as the decision from the US Supreme Court is expected in June, and it is likely that whatever the decision is, it will have a tangible impact on the US presidential election. At this point, it is increasingly difficult to predict what the justice's decision will be, but given the arguments, it appears that there is enough scepticism over the individual mandate aspect of the law. If this aspect is struck down, it is likely that the overall healthcare reform legislation will still survive.
Such a measure will, however, have intense repercussions on the health insurance market, which has essentially been overhauled based on the expectation of minimum coverage and expansion of membership spearheaded by the mandatory healthcare insurance norm. Health insurers have invested in accommodating and catering to this rise in membership and change in the way health plans could be provided, namely the concept of health-insurance exchanges. For healthcare providers in the United States, the changes in the insurance industry would affect the reimbursement structure and to some extent the delivery of care. The latter may not be majorly affected, however, if the individual mandate is struck down and the other aspects of the law remain, which includes quality and extent of care.

Broad Bean Salad with Pancetta and Sherry Vinegar
The fresh broad bean season seems to be so short, I always feel the need to feast as much as possible when I can, hence this salad. It's good as a first course or to serve alongside other salads in a cold buffet. Remember, when buying broad beans in the shell you'll need 1 lb (450 g) in weight to get 4 oz (110 g) once shelled.
Serves 4 generously
Ingredients |
4 lb (1.8 kg) young broad beans, shelled |
4 oz (110 g) sliced smoked pancetta or smoked streaky bacon |
1 tablespoon chopped mixed fresh herbs (parsley, chives, basil and thyme, for example) |
2 shallots, peeled and finely chopped |
salt and freshly milled black pepper |
For the dressing: |
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar |
1 large clove garlic, peeled |
2 level teaspoons Maldon sea salt |
2 level teaspoons mustard powder |
5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |
freshly milled black pepper |

This recipe is taken from How to Cook Book Two
Begin this by pre-heating the grill to its highest setting for 10 minutes or so, then place the pancetta (or bacon) on a piece of foil and grill it 3 inches (7.5 cm) from the heat for about 4 minutes; it's important to get it really crisp.
Then, as soon as it's cool enough to handle, crumble it into tiny pieces. Now place the shelled beans in a medium saucepan, add a level teaspoon of salt and pour in enough boiling water to barely cover them. When they come back to the boil, put a lid on, turn the heat down and simmer them gently for about 5 minutes. It's very important not to overcook them, so a timer would be useful here.
While they're cooking, make the dressing by first crushing the garlic and salt with a pestle and mortar until it becomes a creamy paste, then work in the mustard powder and follow this with the vinegar and a generous amount of coarsely milled black pepper.
Next add the oil and give everything a good whisk. When the beans are cooked, drain them in a colander, then place them in a serving bowl, toss them in the dressing and give it all a good stir. Now sprinkle in the pancetta, herbs and chopped shallots, taste to check the seasoning, give everything one more good mix, then cover the bowl with a cloth and leave aside for a couple of hours so the beans can absorb all the flavours.

Hi Alfred, Yes that was a blast, and yes this was shot hand held, for a 360VR version see the link above.

Lots of fun! I didn't see you carrying a tripod or monopod, this is handhold shot, right? Great!
