caffeinatedFor the HISTORY CHANNEL , the array of program choices is decidedly different for American viewers from Candian ones.
I recently learned so it is for the BIOGRAPHY CHANNEL.
Apparently we are having JOURNALISTS WEEK
with bios of Edward R Murrow, Barbara Frum and Hunter S Thompson.
NO such luck in the U.S.

CBC Radio is offering re-caps I think of past programming for certain segments I think. Yesterday, an anouncement of some sort was made concerning Blackwater USA, the mercernary company.
Because the schedule line up doesnt mention it, I figured they are re-broadcasting past shows.
If you missed it, you can hear about Blackwaters attempts to muscle in on peackeeping , why the UN wont allow it...and also how to evade and avoid a kidnapping.

I fixed the the link to http://www.smh.com.au/news/new-south-wales/the-ghosts-of-monte-cristo/2007/03/12/1173548060472.html
from a previous blog post for the travel buffs.
Did you know you can get National Geographic buffs, too?
Ciao, folks!
party time!Hes been called the hardest working man of the rock music industry but chances are you probably havent heard of him.
One of his greatest fears is to die while flying in an airplace i.e. crashing
....and the person he admires the most is his Mother.
Usually a man would choose another man or even his own Dad as the person they admire the most. How inspiring and courageous for a man to say his mother is the person he admires the most.
As if a man, after all, as if a man could ever do or take
Maude Barlow's job.
But anyway, please meet

Flaggers forget Womens Day. History repeats.
In Indonesia, girls reported being given food only once a day or stale and leftover food. Vina, who began domestic work when she was thirteen, said her employer “would give me food once a day, but if I ate more than that she would shout at me and call me ‘pig.’ I was hungry, that’s why I would take a little more food.”

OTTAWA, March 7 /CNW Telbec/ - Women of the Métis Nation is dismayed at
the issue of the racist email that has been disseminated by the Science and
Industry department in the Northwest Territories.
Tomorrow is the International Women's Day, and the Federal Government has
continually indicated that it understands the plight of Aboriginal women.
Acknowledging the inappropriateness of its Ministry's staff and apologizing to
Aboriginal women across Canada would best demonstrate a commitment to address
these issues. The Federal Government at the very least should make the Acting
General Manager, Mr. Michael Hurst give a public apology for the dissemination
of this material.
"These actions often desensitize people and further perpetuate the
stigmas around Aboriginal women," says Rosemarie McPherson, spokesperson for
Women of the Métis Nation.
Due to the many real measures of missing Aboriginal women and Aboriginal
women dying on the streets and northern Canadian communities - the leaders of
Canada must make a strong and public stand to clearly identify that these
types of racist and sexist materials are not acceptable.
Women of the Métis Nation is disheartened to hear that emails would be
passed around through Government of Canada employees, which perpetuates the
view that Aboriginal women should be treated with less value and respect than
other women.
The racist and sexist e-mail distributed by federal government employees
in the Northwest Territories showed three young white women, all naked,
alongside a photo of a middle-aged intoxicated aboriginal woman, with her
shirt pulled up and breasts exposed. The subject line read: "Can you spot Miss
NWT? Watch out for the last one, it will knock you off your feet!"

But back to the show...
More funds needed for Aboriginal womens' groups, says NWAC
March 6, 2007 - by Joseph Quesnel
A prominent organization of Aboriginal women is calling on the federal government to re-invest in programs for Aboriginal women.
The Native Women's Association of Canada (NWAC), in a recent news release, stated they are "equally appalled and disappointed with the negative response shown by the federal government toward B.C./Yukon women’s groups yesterday in Vancouver."
Despite pleas urging the Conservative government led by Prime Minister Stephen Harper to reverse its decision to cut back funding for several vital programs for women, they stated, Bev Oda, Federal Minister for the Status of Women, showed a complete "lack of respect and caring" for Aboriginal women's issues.
NWAC President Beverley Jacobs said, “Many of our Aboriginal women are living below the poverty line; many are homeless; many are physically and sexually violated; many are missing and many are murdered. Programs and services offered by organizations such as the B.C./Yukon women’s groups are vital because they present our women a glimmer of hope.”
The federal government, Jacobs emphasized, appears determined to close regional Status of Women offices, while cancelling Court Challenges Programs, eliminating the child care strategy, cutting $5 million from Status of Women Canada and imposing a no-lobbying, no-advocacy rule on women’s organizations such as NWAC.
President Jacobs added, “On Wednesday March 8th International Women’s Day, I’m encouraging all women’s organizations to stand united behind our sisters in B.C./Yukon. We must send a clear message that Canada must follow through on its International commitment to respect and implement the rights of women. Our voices must be heard. On March 8th we will be heard”
NWAC’s Mission, according to their site, is to help empower women by being involved in developing and changing legislation which affects them and by involving them in the development and delivery of programs promoting equal opportunity for Aboriginal women.
