Being boring is official Canadian Government policy. It seems to work in our favour on many fronts.
There were two key decisions by the Canadian Government that eliminated the deficit in the 1990's. One was reduced government expeniture done when Paul Martin Jr. was Finance Minister and Jean Cretien was Liberal Prime Minister in the early nineties. The other was the implementation of the federal sales tax under the conservative government of Brian Mulroney in 1988.
The solid performance of the Financial sector may have helped to avert a deep recession, but after resources, it has been residential contruction and services that has been most responsible for job growth.
IMHO the 2 main facts leading to the jobs recovery have been the 1972 tax act that eliminated capital gains tax on residential housing that has made homes everybodies favourate investment and the points based immigration act developed 40 years ago (immigrants are now 23% of the society) that has lead to a strong, capital ready base of buyers. Interestingly, both of these policy advantages are from the Trudeau government.
Harper prescient? you are joking.
In the midst of the consumption/debt bubble, Harper acted to increase income taxes and decrease consumption tax. He extended Canadian mortgages to 40 years, and denied repeatedly that Canada would ever see recession, let alone deficit, all the while increasing government spending at record rates.
Now, in/post recession, through Harper's direct input (billions for the provinces) he is INCREASING consumption taxes through harmonization while telling the world this is a provincial perogative. In British Columbia, the provincial government campaigned against consumptive tax increases until elected, when Harper promptly bribed them with $1.6B to do the exact opposite of what they promised.
His vision is not articulated, his actions counter to good sense.
Harper has only the good work of previous governments to thank for the position Canada finds itself in right now.
I would never vote for Harper Conservatives because to me their overall ideology is a little to close to U.S. Republicanism, but I respect the man and his finance minister, Mr. Flaherty and appreciate the job they are doing financially for us Canadians.
Apart from the politics, our Governor of the Bank of Canada, Mark Carney, was recently selected as one of Time Magazine's most influential people, so it seems we are in good hands financially.
My biggest disappointment about the loonie was that the follow-up 'toonie', ('twonie'?), never became known as the 'doubloon'.
There appears to be a few factual errors in this article. For example, it would be less disingenuous to say:
Due to generous subsidizes from government department CMHC, Canadian banks were so blotted with cash they felt no need to engage in risky lending, unlike their American counterparts.
As for today's frothy housing market, brought on by Harper ordering CMHC to funnel 60 billion dollars in cash onto the banks balance sheets, Ottawa has nothing on the west coast city of Vancouver, where average house prices have reached 12 times average incomes. The California housing market collapsed at no where near that level.
Me thinks the Economist speaks too soon ...
Sorry, I don't know where you're from but we definitely refer to our $1 coin as a 'loonie' on the news & BNN, in schools & university commerce programs and in everyday life. I actually remember when I consciously noticed that other countries called it something else!
I.e. "the loonie shot up today to $.97 US"
i.e. "you're a loonie short"

Accurate article overall, but note that "loonie" is only a colloquial term for the currency, which is formally called the "dollar". "Loonie" came from the loon (a kind of bird common on Canadian lakes) which is featured on the dollar coin.
Contrary to your statement, Canada's currency is not known as the 'loonie' by anyone except, perhaps, your writer. That appellation is reserved as a nickname for the one dollar coin, derived from the image of a loon on one side of it (an image of our shared Queen appearing on the other).
You will very commonly hear the expression 'twenty-five quid' on a High Street in the UK, but never hear the expression 'twenty-five loonie(s)' anywhere in Canada, except perhaps when referring to 25 one-dollar coins.
We call our currency 'the dollar', as do over thirty other countries.
The article lists very few criteria for its claim of "least worst" and doesn't give any comparison with any other countries. I note that the Australian Reserve Bank has been raising interest rates for 6 months while Canada is yet to start according to the article.
More effort required, Ed.
True to form, the Canadian psyche comes to the fore in many of the posts here. For whatever reason, many Canadians can only find fault with things Canadian, even if outsiders are the ones are lavishing the praise. For some pathological reason, they readily criticize Canadians who get praise and those who point out things we get right.
We have a lot of growing up to do, learning how to count our blessings and accepting that Canadians have a lot of talent even if we don't see it.
Hmmm, sort of interesting. Didn't mention our somewhat paralyzed politics or the fact that the financial crisis of last year was just the beginning of a much larger and longer term problem. The U.S. government took on a mountain of debt to save the financial system. European banks did likewise. This came at the end of 30 years of disinflation which is now OVER! We are entering phase 2 wherein governments will either have to manage high debt levels along with rising interest rates AND aging populations or INFLATE. If ( when ) the U.S. inflates, our commodities will go up in price only in terms of their worthless dollars. This is what they did in the 70's to same themselves from the costs of Vietnam and OPEC. Not sure how we will be able to manage this. The government is only as good or as prudent as the voters. The voters are utterly ignorant of economics. There are a lot of rakes in everybody's yard. Soon we will be walking around oblivious again. P.S. Bank tax is a stupid idea. Just introduces permanent moral hazard.
Accurate article overall, but note that "loonie" is only a colloquial term for the currency, which is formally called the "dollar". "Loonie" came from the loon (a kind of bird common on Canadian lakes) which is featured on the dollar coin.
To this American, houses selling over asking price sounds familiar.
Conservative Goverments nearly always get it right. If Canadians think they have done well just wait till the Labour Government in Austraila finish trashing this country. Their porposed resources tax will decimate our "Resources Boom" and there will be a mad rush to invest in Canada. The only investors in Australia then will be Chinese state owned enterprises who have tons of money to spend and over the next decate will dictate the terms of trade to an impoverised country of only 20 million people. Kevein Rudd our labour prime minister does speak mandarin but that does not mean that he understands the Chinese thought process. Good luck to Canadians. It is the next lucky country till they elect a labour Government. Then they too will become a province of China. Nothing with that, but it depends on ones point of view.
Canada and USA are two friendly countries intertwined with a thread of love for each other. Hence, we feel pleasure about the good news on Canadian economical recovery. However comparison of its economy with the given depth and size of the US economy is not agreeable because bigger economies have bigger problems and yet they remain bigger. One common point of comparison can be found in th educated population base,rule of law and viable infrastructure, which both have in abundance.From an economist's point of view gaining parity level of Canadian currency with the US dollar is not something to be so zealous about, because a rising currency may prove to be a deterrent to export growh and also hurt tourism industry,which are vital for the groth of Canadian economy.Further, taking advantage of a cheaper bank rate, if the banks indulge in long term lending, they might find it difficult to manage profitability levels if the present prevailing rate goes up as expected.I am also inclined to point it out that Canada should develope its own manufacturing base to utilise its own natural wealth of raw material, commodities and minerals instead of dishing those out as export items for China or others; may be not now but in the long run.The four years of smooth sailing of the coalition government can well be presented as a good example of good governance. We in America cherish such good news of prosperity of our friendly neighbour.
I think WonderingWhy and melchet make important points here.
Canadians are now more indebted per capita than are Americans. There was no sudden ramp-up in house prices like we saw in the US, but prices have risen for decades without a meaningful correction and the fall will be just as painful as it has been to the south.
Different causes, same effect.
The Canadian economy, like our dollar, rides a roller coaster based mainly on commodity prices. That being so, the good times can end as fast as they came. It is not a value-added economy like the US. Our unemployment is now lower than theirs, but it is normally higher and we will return to that normality soon.
Remember, commodity extraction is highly automated and creates little employment. Countries that do well off resources, like Norway, are thriving only because they have small populations and the state uses the revenue to fund massive social spending. If you can call that "thriving".
Interesting article. Canada is certainly an economic star that has a diversified economy reliant upon its abundant natural resources (dependant upon trade—particularly with the United States) and its financial services sector has managed to avoid the worst of the financial crisis... which deserves credit.
The UK could learn alot on how to deal with government debt by looking at Canada as an example in the 1990's
Thanks to our conservative fiscal policy and financial regulation our banks required no bailout from our taxpayers. The EU should learn a lesson from us and adopt our methods rather than the questionable benefits of a proposed tax on the global financial sector.
I wonder to what extent the home renovation tax credit let a number of small companies float through some tough waters by encouraging a segment of the population to take on a bit more debt. This seemed like a good Keynesian policy, but I was wishing at the time that the credit was restricted to energy efficiency or similar--the gifts that keep giving as opposed to something like a new deck (which is nice but doesn't reduce any bills going forwards). Possibly a restriction like this wouldn't have reduced effectiveness of the stimulus.
Canadian economy is going well, kind of, but that have nothing to do with Stephen Harper governance. He herinted of a situation which was provoking by Jean Chrétien and Paul Martin. When the Liberal Party of Canada took the lead in 1992, the public debt was huge. There were some major concerns about it. If a recall, the Economist produced some paper about that. They cut in some programs, cleaned some old matter and manage the unexpected.
They were major protestations in the country but they attempted, for a first time in canadian history to clean the public debt.
As far as the house market is concerning, I have some theorys of my own. The first one is: the quebec municipal assessment never really reflect the real price of the homes. Otherwise, there never will be such a big jump of the prices homes in Quebec. It there were a 1.5% evaluation, every year, like in Nova Scotia or in New Brunswick, the market reality will be extremely different. The second one is: the market is most of the time in favor of the seller, not the buyer.

Thompson Square's Kiefer Thompson Death Threat From Snake Photo
June 19, 2014 10:08 AM
June Knight Read More
Kiefer Thompson from the group Thompson Square has come under fire for posting a picture on his Instagram account of a dead snake in one hand and a gun in another.
Kiefer says he had no idea there are so many people out there that are passionate about snakes. This after the singer said he told "Taste Of Country" he received death threats over the picture.
Kiefer's explanation of the dead snake involved a six foot snake outside the house that was coiled up and snapping at the dogs. He also set the record straight about the gun being a pellet gun, not an assault rifle.

Vietnam ETF Shows Risk, Reward of Emerging-Market Funds
NEW YORK ( ETF Digest) -- Emerging-market ETFs can offer an alluring but potentially hazardous trade-off for investors.
On the one hand, these markets have been fueling recent growth in the world economy, and so investors in these funds can see significant, sometimes positively stratospheric gains.
On the other hand, emerging markets by their very nature are not mature and so can be far riskier investments.Perhaps no other emerging-market ETF epitomizes this trade-off between growth and risk better than the Market Vectors Vietnam ETF (VNM). Emerging markets posted substantial losses in 2011, with the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund (EEM) losing as much as 23%. But as bad as that was, VNM took a particularly savage beating, falling almost 47% on the year. Indeed, Vietnam has been having something of a rough time lately. The socialist Southeast Asian nation of 90 million has been experiencing acute inflationary problems, with inflation reaching a dizzying 22% last year. In 2011 the Vietnamese Central Bank raised rates to combat the issue, which had a negative impact on growth. The government also devalued the currency, which compounded problems. Even though inflation currently remains quite high at 16%, the central bank executed an about-face recently, slashing rates across the board: the deposit cap from 14% to 13%; the refinancing rate from 15% to 14%; and the discount rate from 13% to 12%. Vietnam's growth rate fell last year from 6% to 5.9%, and analysts seem to have Vietnam's target growth rate for this year pegged at around 6.1%. If they're right, and Vietnam rallies, investors in VNM could stand to make a tidy profit. It appears that many investors think the analysts are right, as VNM has recently registered volumes nearly twice the daily average. It's worth mentioning here that VNM should prove particularly sensitive to changes in banking policy and interest rates, as the fund is extremely concentrated in the banking and financial sector at 43.9%, its highest sector allocation. Energy is second at 25.4%. Although many may associate socialist-capitalist countries like Vietnam with mammoth state-owned corporations, VNM is actually much more heavily weighted towards mid-caps (44.4%) and small caps (42.7%) than large-caps (just 12.9%). The fund's top three holdings are Baoviet Holdings (8.9%), Vincom JSC VIC (7.46%), and JSC Bank FOR (6.91%), so it's not too terribly overconcentrated in any one company. Inflation isn't the country's only problem. Vietnam is also attempting to combat liquidity issues in the banking sector as well as a trade deficit. After all, this is the "excitement" that goes along with investing in emerging markets: You never know what the future has in store. Compare VNM (blue) with EEM (red). They both posted heavy losses in 2011, although VNM clearly came out the worse of the two. VNM has rallied since the beginning of 2012, and year to date is up about 20%.

For Great-Looking Arms You Need to Exercise Your Entire Body
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
Looking fit is a lot better than the alternative and awesome arms are key to the ideal physique. First Lady Michelle Obama gets tons of compliments on her arms. They look that way due to her ninety-minute daily workouts. Fitness trainer Dustin Schaffer says the arms can be a focal point but overall fitness should be the goal.
New Bern, NC, United States., April 11, 2014 - (PressReleasePoint) He has prepared an online Exercise for Arms Workout available at no charge on www.exerciseforarms.net.
There are some specific exercises that target toning the arms. One is doing arm circles. Turn each arm around in circles for at least sixty seconds. Then, rest and do it again. This five-minute exercise should build arm strength if done consistently over a thirty-day period. For additional toning pick up some two-pound weights and do the same arm circles.
Dustin reminds all his clients that nothing beats walking. Sometimes walking out side is not an option, march in place to your favorite tunes for fifteen minutes will also work. This daily march will get the blood flowing and provide the circulation needed to continue arm circles.
Always combine exercise with fun. Go outside and get active. Learn to ride a bike, go bowling, hiking, or roller skating, it's best to enjoy exercise.
In addition to the Exercise for Arms Workout, Dustin has a number of other workouts prepared and ready to go. Those who sign up receive a bonus of three extra programs. At Home Workouts, Best Workout Routine and Workouts for Women are among the choices.
Dustin got a head start on his career in fitness training with high school sports and service in the Marines. After receiving his honorable discharge he earned a Bachelor's Degree in Exercise Science at Minnesota State University in Mankato.
He also became certified in Muscle Activation Techniques (MAT) and in Biosignature Modulation. MAT is a specific and unique process for evaluating an individual's ability to develop efficient muscle contractions which are essential to normal movement. Biosignature techniques work on targeting and toning specific muscles.
Dustin Schaffer has made good use of his extensive experience and training to develop the Exercise for Arms program. For more information on it and the list of other Schaffer Method workouts go to www.exerciseforarms.net. or send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com

Resume Clinic: A Sports Reporter Stretches Out
Despite the rise of Applicant Tracking Systems that seem hellbent on reducing each job candidate to a mathematical formula, the resume is not yet dead. With that in mind, we got a pro resume writer, with a background in media and entertainment recruiting, to tackle one MJD reader's resume.
First, here's the original (with the reader's name and contact information edited out, obviously):
Resume: Jane, Sports Reporter
And here's what Jane Ashen Turkewitz, founder and president of T & Jam Resume Services had to say about this sports reporter's resume.
"Jane, constraining yourself to a one-page resume is kind of like squeezing yourself into a pair of size four jeans when you're really a six. If you've been working for more than seven years — and you've been out there for even longer — you've got too much information to jam into a one-pager. Go to two.
More after the jump…

My Dog Tulip is a bittersweet retrospective account of the fourteen-year relationship between a female German Shephard and author J.R Ackerley.

My Dog Tulip was originally published in England in 1956. It is now published in this country by the New York Review of Books in their Classics Series and is the series best selling book.

A systematic review of the effectiveness of interventions for managing childhood nocturnal enuresis
BackgroundThe aim of this project was to conduct a systematic review of the international research to assess and compare the effectiveness of different treatments for nocturnal enuresis. Bed wetting in children affects 20% of five year-olds and 5% of ten year-olds and is a cause of much psychological suffering for children and their families.
Over sixty of the most reliable trials were identified and analysed. These show that a variety of behavioural and pharmacological treatments are effective. The use of enuresis alarms is over 13 times more likely to help children achieve at least 14 consecutive dry nights compared to no treatment. This behavioural treatment can take several months to work fully. The drugs imipramine and desmopressin can reduce the number of wet nights per week quite quickly. However, the effect is not as sustained as enuresis alarms and both have potentially serious side effects. Desmopressin is much more expensive but no more effective than imipramine. Other commonly used forms of management such as star charts and rewards, fluid deprivation and lifting have not been reliably evaluated.Conducted by: Deborah Lister-Sharp1, Susan O' Meara1, Matthew Bradley1, Trevor A Sheldon1

Memorial service Wednesday for popular Stevens High teacher
Claremont teacher Linda Beaulieu, 58, was traveling in San Juan, Puerto Rico, when she died on Thursday.
Linda Beaulieu, 58, was traveling in San Juan, Puerto Rico, when she died Thursday.
The memorial service for Beaulieu is planned for 3 p.m. at Trinity Church on Broad Street.
"The school is working with the pastor to come up with the program so there will be students and teachers speaking and sharing stories about Linda," said assistant principal Kim Ezen.
Beaulieu had been an English teacher at Stevens High School for almost three decades, since 1984.
"It's quite devastating," said Evelyn Plourde, who has been teaching at the high school since 1990.
Monday morning before school started, Stevens principal Frank W. Sprague gathered faculty together to prepare them to deal with grieving students, Plourde said. Sprague had contacted teachers over winter break.
"We will have time to grieve, but our students come first," he told the teachers Monday, Plourde said.
On Monday she spent time with many of Beaulieu's students.
"It's been a really rough time," she said.
Beaulieu had designed a "Tech English" class specifically for a class of about 20 boys who study plumbing and heating in Stevens tech high school.
"It was amazing to see some of those boys get very emotional in my class yesterday and we talked through it," Plourde said.
Many of the students had already heard of her death through social media.
One student from the tech class showed Plourde a pen he bought after learning of Beaulieu's death. He was always without a pen and would borrow one from Beaulieu, who would tease him saying it was her "favorite pen," so he bought the same kind of pen.
Another student of Beaulieu's played a recording of Beaulieu singing Louie Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World." Beaulieu sang the song as a way of encouraging one of her students, who had a good singing voice but was afraid to sing in front of people, Plourde said.
"Linda Beaulieu sang it to her class and this student taped it."
"That just says it all. That's the type of teacher she was. She was phenomenal. She really was very strict. They called her the 'task master,' but the kids all loved her for it," Plourde said.
Beaulieu had a way of finding the underdogs and encouraging them and helping them find their path in life.
"You never know how you're going to affect students and she always went after them and made them do their best," Plourde said. "I think that was really her forte. It was life, not English. It was really always about life. She was really like their mother. She never had children of her own and her nieces and nephews she always tended as her own. She was an unbelievable person."
Plourde said in trying to find some good in the tragedy, she spoke to the students about how Beaulieu loved to travel and had been talking about her trip.
"She was so thrilled to go to Puerto Rico and couldn't wait and that's what she was talking about to me and other students. She was doing what she loves."
Beaulieu was born in Woodsville and graduated from Woodsville High School in 1972. She graduated from Keene State Teaching College in 1976. She was working on her master's degree at the University of Vermont. She was married to George Beaulieu for 30 years.
Sprague attended a funeral for Beaulieu in Bath Tuesday. In a letter to parents, he said she "passed away from natural causes during winter vacation" and advised parents how best to help their children through the grieving process.
"Students will respond to this news in many different ways. Some will be sad, then happy, and then sad again. Some will appear not to care; others may act out or withdraw. All may benefit from extra time with adults who love them," he wrote. "Our whole school community, families and teachers, will be working together to adjust to this loss. We are thinking of you all."
Plourde said Sprague has made additional counseling available at the school for all students and staff.

1987 And All That: The Amazing Spider-Man Annual #21

The Amazing Spider-Man Annual #21 (Marvel) by David Michelinie, Paul Ryan, Vince Colletta, Bob Sharen, Rick Parker, Jim Salicrup, and Jim Shooter
Mary Jane Watson and Peter Parker's marriage is a weirdly divisive subject for some people, but I don't personally have too strong an opinion on whether or not Spider-Man ought to be married. When it happened in 1987, it was pretty much a gimmick, an editorially mandated special event designed to sell comics based on the novelty, as opposed to being a story that someone felt needed to be told. As such, there's only the faintest impression of a plot in this comicbook, despite its extra pages and the fact that then editor-in-chief Jim Shooter is credited with the plot and David Michelinie with the actual script. It's hard to imagine Shooter's role amounting to very much more than telling Michelinie, "Spider-Man gets married, even though he and Mary Jane both have doubts." I'd believe he contributed less than that, because that's about 90% of what the issue contains, and I want to give Michelinie and the artists some credit.

Sunday Brunch: 8/8/10
Links, art, criticism, and discussion– sans the porn, it's another week on the internet!
CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK: What if newspaper comic strips were written by today's premiere comic book writers?I find the newspaper comics page to be a sad, boring place, populated by unfunny drain-circlers, occasionally peppered with decent strips or good art. So what if your favorite comic writer got in on the action? What would they write? Can you imagine the bizarre possibilities? My suggestions under the cut.
Sunday Brunch: 7/4/10
"This will be our… Independence Day!" Join with me, fellow Americans, as we celebrate the anniversary of that movie with Will Smith and Bill Pullman! I don't know why this country makes such a big deal about it every year, but… … Declaration of what?
So, leave it to the holiday weekend when no one's reading for a (compared to recent weeks) double-sized Brunch filled with links to actual content, rather than just other links. Onwards!

The commandant of the Marine Corps on Monday took the extraordinary step of firing two generals for not adequately protecting a giant base in southern Afghanistan that Taliban fighters stormed last year, resulting in the deaths of two Marines and the destruction of half a dozen U.S. fighter jets.
It is the first time since the Vietnam War that a general, let alone two, has been sacked for negligence after a successful enemy attack. But the assault also was unprecedented:

Becoming a YouTube partner can be an exciting a lucrative enterprise for anyone with the creativity and know-how to build a busy YouTube channel. Here are some essential tips on how to climb the ranks and become one.
First, come up with a catchy nickname, decide what types of videos will be your primary focus, and set a goal for how often you'll make new videos. Many famous YouTube partners make videos once or twice a week.
In order to become a partner, you will need at least 100,000 total upload views. How will you get them? The best way to get viewers is simple: make great content. Your videos can be funny, artistic, technical, musical, or anything else you can imagine. No matter which direction you take, you should always be sure to make engaging videos that you'd want to watch yourself.
You'll also need between 1,000 and 3,000 subscribers to be considered for partner status. Again, if you want subscribers, make great videos. If you take your time filming and editing each video, and if it has real meaning for you and others, people will subscribe to you. If someone finds your video and they like it, they are likely to click on your channel and watch some of your other videos. If they like what you have to offer, they'll want to stay up on your newest videos. They'll also be keen to post your content on their Facebook walls or Twitter feeds.
Once you achieve the requisite 1,000-3,000 subscribers and 100,000 total views, you can apply for partnership—if YouTube hasn't already offered it to you. To apply, go to Youtube.com/partners and click Apply Now. You will be required to provide information about what kind of content you make, how often you upload videos, the average length of your videos, and other metrics.
If you are under the age of 18, you can still become a partner but will need to link to a parent/guardian's account. This is accomplished by checking the box that says, "I have additional YouTube user accounts I would like to include in this partnership application," and filling in the parent/guardian's username, password, relationship to you.

December 17, 2014
ROCKFORD (WIFR) -- Members of MoveOn.org gathered in front of Congressman Don Manzullo's office in support of what they're calling the fight Washington corruption pledge.
The pledge calls for the overturning of the Supreme Court citizen's united ruling, which allows corporations unlimited spending in support of political candidates or causes.
"There's so much big dollar influence from the corporations. That we feel that if influences the government and it puts and unfair disadvantage to the other 98% of us." said MoveOn.org member Joan Sveda.
The Supreme Court ruling passed by a 5 to 4 margin in January, with the majority saying this was a 1st Amendment issue and that the government has no business regulating political speech.

A collection of relevant and timely media clips and resources.
Posted on February 10, 2014
Today, Senate Bill 154, the Senate companion to House Bill 1237, passed by a 29-10 vote in the Virginia Senate, putting Virginia hunters one step closer to having the opportunity to hunt on Sundays on private land.
As previously reported, SB 154, sponsored by state Senator Phil Puckett (D-38), would allow hunting on private lands with written permission from the owner - while still prohibiting hunting within 200 yards of a house of worship, the hunting of deer with dogs and the hunting of bear. If enacted, this new law would take effect on July 1. This important pro-hunting legislation encourages hunter retention and recruitment by allowing busy families the ability to teach hunting to the next generation, since school and sport activities often dominate Saturdays for children.
SB 154 now goes to the House Agriculture, Chesapeake and Natural Resources Committee for consideration. The House companion bill, HB 1237, is now before the Senate Agriculture, Conservation and Natural Resources Committee to be heard this Thursday. The House committee passed HB 1237 by a 12-10 vote on January 22 and the Senate committee passed SB 154 by a 9-4 vote on January 30. Please keep up the momentum of support for this important legislation and once again contact members of this key Senate committee and encourage them to support HB 1237.

iRobot's mobile medical telepresence robot controlled by iPad app
Massachusetts-based iRobot is probably best known for introducing robotics into the home in the form of the popular scurrying Roomba vacuuming robots, but the company also has its hands in many other markets as well. The company recently introduced RP-VITA, a telepresence robot that takes the physical place of remote workers while allowing interaction with other people. Our sister site Engadget has some video of the robot being controlled by an iPad app in a medical setting.
Co-branding the RP-VITA with California-based InTouch Health, the companies are looking at letting doctors do rounds and check up on hospital patients without actually being onsite. A doctor simply taps a location -- like a hospital room number -- on the iPad screen, and the robot scurries off to the room, checking for obstacles along the way. Once at the patient's bedside, the doctor can check vitals or use the built-in screen to talk to the patient.
The video shows the device being tested in a mock hospital setting with dummies as patients. I have to agree with commenter AarghaKnot's assessment on Engadget: "They should make it more realistic. Telepresence robot enters room with clipboard in front of face, mumbles a few formalities, barks orders at a nurse and is gone in less than 2 minutes."
Enjoy the video.

Julie Plec Teases Vampire Diaries Season Finale: Elena vs. Katherine!by Matt Richenthal at . Comments
A showdown. An open romantic door. An epic sacrifice and, oh, right… graduation!
All these events and more will go down on tomorrow night's Vampire Diaries Season 4 finale, as teased by Julie Plec in a new interview with E! News.
Visit E! for the full Q&A with Plec and consider the following teases, tidbits and spoilers from it:
- Katherine and Elena will finally have it out and "it definitely doesn't disappoint," says the executive producer.
- Elena and Stefan will share a scene in which the former expresses the "truth of [her] feelings."
- Klaus will return and a moment between this Original and Caroline will "make it clear" where they stand. With The Originals set for the fall, Plec says a door will remain open between these two.
- The fate of Tyler will be "resolved."
- Bonnie will prepare to sacrifice herself in the name of lowering the Veil and saving her friends.
Which storyline on the final has you most excited? Visit our Vampire Diaries forum now and sound off!
Matt Richenthal is the Editor in Chief of TV Fanatic. Follow him on Twitter and on Google+.Tags: The Vampire Diaries, Spoilers
if Kat will die, im done
a moment between this Original and Caroline will "make it clear" where they stand [...] The fate of Tyler will be "resolved."
*sigh* So Klaus and Caroline will only have one scene together and I guess, because of the photos and Tyler's fate, Klaus will just say goodbye, give the werewolf as a graduation gift to Vampirebarbie and leave for New Orleans. Great. Katherine and Elena will finally have it out and "it definitely doesn't disappoint,"
How is that even possible? Just like when Elena attacked Caroline - and Katherine last episode - the writers are giving her way too much strength! She's a newbie and Katherine's a 500 year old fighter, according to TVD mythology that should just mean Elena gets her a ss kicked!
I swear if Elena and Katherine die together i'm going to be pissed.
1). I love Katherine
2). That would be so predictable omg!
And if Katherines the one to get the cure....*facepalm*
I got a feeling that in the Doppelganger face off Katarina will get the upper hand and Damon will save Elena by turning Katarina Human. That would be a good start for season 5.

Introducing myself and my journal: 23 year breast cancer survivor
About Me:
I am a native New Yorker who is a 23 year breast cancer survivor. I ran a cancer support group for several years and would be delighted to help anyone who is coping with breast cancer. Especially for those who live in remote areas I would love to offer them any support for their emotions in coping. It would be a joy to give back to others what, in support of years ago, was given to me.
My Passions:
reading, tennis, fast walking,social communication
My Challenges:
making the most of my life
My Areas of Expertise:
medical administration
Welcome to World Pulse!
Welcome! Wow- you are a very strong woman! Your endeavor to help other women cope with cancer is something very commendable. I think that your motivation and inspiration will definitely benefit many people on World Pulse! Technology is a beautiful thing that we can reach out to people all over the world no matter where they are and share our stories, experiences and love :)
I look forward to reading more about your journey! Again, Welcome!
ps I love that one of your passions is "fast walking"- that is awesome!
You are a wonderful woman! I'm from Cambodia. I'm so happy to see you in World Pulse. I don't have a breast cancer but i'm working for NGO and one of our projects is Breast Cancer Awareness because the percentage of Breast Cancer in Cambodia gets number 3 among of HIV and Tuberculosis. According to my experience with Breast Cancer, it is still poor since i have involved with this project only 4 months. I hope you will give me more about it.
Love you,
Sarvina from Cambodia

Trulia Survey: 2 In 3 Homebuyers Would Use Aggressive Tactics, Including Bidding Above Asking Or Paying Seller's Closing Costs
Trulia, Inc. (NYSE: TRLA), a leading online marketplace for home buyers, sellers, renters, and real estate professionals, today released the results of its Summer 2013 American Dream Survey. The latest findings reveal how today's competitive real estate market has impacted consumer sentiment toward homeownership and the desperate measures people are willing to use to buy a home. Harris Interactive conducted the online survey on behalf of Trulia among 2,029 U.S. adults, age 18 and over, between June 24 and 26, 2013.
Top House Hunting Worries: Rising Mortgage Rates and Home Prices
Prospective home buyers are feeling the pain of a booming real estate market. The top worry among Americans who plan to buy a home someday, if they were to buy a home in 2013, is that mortgage rates would rise further before they buy (41 percent), followed by rising home prices (37 percent). For consumers in the hottest markets – where asking home prices rose more than 15 percent year-over-year, such as Las Vegas and Oakland – buyers' worries are even more intense for most of the concerns listed below.
|Top House Hunting Worries
|In hottest markets
|Mortgage interest rates would rise before I buy
|Home prices would rise before I buy
|I would not find a home for sale that I like
|I would not qualify for a mortgage
|I would have to compete with many other buyers for the home I wanted
Note: only among respondents who plan to buy a home someday. Hottest markets are U.S. metros where prices increased more than 15% year-over-year in June 2013, according to the Trulia Price Monitor.
Worried Buyers Taking Desperate Measures to Buy a HomeAmong Americans who would buy a home someday, 2 in 3 (66 percent) would use aggressive 1 tactics to buy a home, including bidding above asking, paying the seller's closing costs, writing personal letters, or removing contingencies, to name a few. Households earning more than $100,000 a year are more likely to offer to pay the seller's closing costs or bid above asking, whereas lower-income households making less than $50,000 a year are more likely to borrow money from family or friends to put down 20 percent or make an all-cash offer. Young adults – many of whom are likely to be first-time homebuyers – are especially aggressive in their house hunt, with 78 percent likely to do at least one of these tactics.
|What Buyers Would Do To Get Their Dream Home
|18-34 Year Olds
|Offer to pay the seller's closing costs
|Bid 1-5% over the home's asking price
|Write a personal letter to the home's seller
|Borrow enough money from family or friends to be able to make a 20% down payment
|Bid 6-10% over the home's asking price
|Remove all contingencies
|Borrow enough money from family or friends to be able to make an all-cash offer
|Bid more than 10% over the home's asking price
- "The rising cost of homeownership cuts both ways for consumer confidence," said Jed Kolko, Trulia's Chief Economist. "The combination of rising rates and rising prices has made owning 20 percent more expensive, leading people to downsize their housing dreams. But rising prices make housing look like a better financial bet, so a majority of Americans now think homeownership is one of the best investments they can make."
- "Although buying a home is still much cheaper than renting, it's a stressful time to be a homebuyer," said Jed Kolko, Trulia's Chief Economist. "Consumers are worried that mortgage rates and prices will keep rising before they buy, and many are willing to fight over the limited number of homes for sale. Watch out if a Millennial wants the home you're bidding on: they're more willing than their parents' generation to outbid, borrow, or make a personal plea to get the house they want."

Three Destination Spots that Won't Always be There
"Someday, I'll go there" is something many avid travelers tell themselves between trips. However, for some cities, this might not always be possible. Although many are working to save the following cities, scientists have proposed that they will cease to be visitable in the next century. Unfortunately these cities are among the most famous tourist destinations in the world. On the other hand, fortunately you still have time to take a memorable trip! Visit these cities while you still can! They're all beautiful in unique ways.
Venice, Italy
Venice has sunk about 24 centimeters in the last century, and if trends continue it could flood completely. Currently the government has undertaken a plan to save Venice from rising water. Venice is home to the famous water canals and romantic and historical sites, so there are plenty of things to do on vacation. For the culinary travelers out there, Venice is home to some of the best Italian food on the planet!
Mexico City, Mexico
Mexico City rests on its own source for drinking water, meaning that the more water is drunk, the lower Mexico City sinks. With 20 million residents, this sinking may be as much as 9 meters per 100 years. Mexico City is home to amazing architecture, rich historical sites, and amazing art and history museums. There is no shortage of things to do on vacation there!
San Francisco, CA
Scientists say that San Francisco, CA is due for an earthquake of a magnitude of 7 or higher by 2086. San Francisco is world-famous for the things to do on vacation: sample its cuisine, visit its famous Alcatraz prison, drive down its steep streets, and of course walk or drive across its Golden Gate Bridge. You may also visit its art museums, its famous China town, and its bay-side restaurants and beach.

The Soft-Fall Bedside Mat by Skil-Care is covered in durable, wipe-clean vinyl. When side rails on the bed can't be used, HCFA recommends surrounding the bed with a soft mat. With its firm energy-absorbing foam, the Soft Fall Bedside Mat protects from possible falls from bed.
