Minutes for the 1st Regular Meeting of the 2008-2009 ASU Students' Representative Council September 16th, 2008, 5:30pm Beveridge Forum, SUB I. ATTENDANCE In Attendance Absent Bronwyn Andrews Claire DeLong (sent regards) Laura MacKillop (Chair's Office) Sheila Aucoin (sent regards) Jenn Nguyen Matt Chapman Janet Kirk Chancy Cheng Margaret Keaveny Steve Barron Borden Scott, James Sanford Jon Saklofske Kyle Steele Emma Cullen Jeff Waugh Jon Couttreau Lianna Meredith I. ADOPTION OF THE AGENDA Moved by Kyle Steele Seconded by Emma Cullen Motion Carries Chair: I call to order the first meeting of the SRC of 2008-2009, obviously not a complete council. A few changes to the agenda, under roundtable communications added the following e) SRC meeting times and f) SRC retreat. Under discussion period Dr. Saklofske has added additions that will be discussed later in the meeting. Under New Business item e has been scratched and will be combined with item d. Be it resolved that the SRC appoint Bronwyn Andrews, blank, blank and blank to sit on the SRC official sub committee, to make it easier to appoint an Administrative Assistant and a Deputy Chair. This will make it easier so it will be one committee instead of two. Any additions or problems that people would like to make known? II. ADOPTION OF MINUTES st (a) Adoption of the minutes from the SRC meeting on April 1 , 2008 Chair: Introduces Laura MacKillop, not official Deputy Chair but Chief Returning Officer Deputy Chair, she will be assisting with the meetings. Moving on to the adoption of the minutes they will be online because the tape recorder is broken. The minutes are not verbatim minutes. No questions about the minutes, movers are Emma Cullen and Tim Hansen. III. ROUND TABLE CORRESPONDENCE AND COMMUNICATION (a) Executive Summer Reports Brought forth by Jeff Waugh, VP Student Affairs Jeff Waugh: Put on here to let you know that the reports of the summer from the executive are complete. They are going to be mailed out after this meeting if that is correct. Please take a look at them and come to us with any concerns you may have. What I'm going to do is go through the executive and have them give you a 30second highlight of what they did over the summer and what they thought was important. I'm going to skip myself since I will be on the next three agenda items. Chair: If you have any question you want to ask just save them and ask them during question period. Emma Cullen: Two highlights are we planed and host the first ANSUB board of directors retreat hear at Acadia in July. It was the big highlight for the summer because we got to plan all of our goals. Also, highlight I was named vice-president of ANSUB. I was also involved in the Alternative First Year program this summer. We worked with faculty advisors so that first years don't have to choose a major right of the bat. Any question about this you can email me or drop by my office during my hours. Kyle Steele: I'll take my full 30 secs to go through my platform that I ran in February super fast. President search I'm still an active member in this. We are moving closer and closer to appointing a new President of Acadia University, which is nice. Hopefully they will be appointed by the start of2009 and will start July 1, 2009. Still working with Kings transited. They still want to work with us. My feeling is that it will be pretty expensive and not sure how many will go for it, but we shall see how it goes. Right now it looks like it will be $80 for a years pass. Not what I consider acceptable since we are all pretty cash scraped right now. Acadia Advantage. One of the problems that we have is the user support refuses to accept Mac 2008. So people with Mac have to get Windows programs. This is unacceptable. Also we are working with Cartwells in the sub they have been told that they have to up their game. People asking questions about extermal parties coming into the sub. We aren't prepared to comment on that just yet. We will have a better picture of food services in the sub as we get closer to the December. With regards to the website, a virus took it out in the summer so we had to hire a third party to make a website. Apple is giving the university money so that will be used to support the website. Finally with regards to lobbying I was elected to CAS? So I have another commitment but it has only been 20 minutes a week so far. I look forward to that challenge and I'll see how the year goes. Jon Cottreau: I'm up. This summer was a transition for me. Went to a conference in Ottawa that gave a lot of insight in to programming in a University setting. Meet a lot of great people and established some great contacts. Many focus for the summer was frosh week. This took up a lot of my time. Some of the highlights was working largely with Kelton and ?. Kelton to establish better communication between house council and resident life and to ensure that programs were approperated. With Julie (?) to ensure that the international student are comfortable with campus. This turned out very well. The frosh packs were the same price as last year and we met budget. Lianna Meredith: Talk about a few things that are fresh in my memory #1 being frosh week.. Jon did a good job organizing that and we had a few sponsers, off campus seemed to enjoy it also. Still tying up a few loose ends with that. Been spending time with the house councils and internal organizations answering questions about there budgets. Attended a few meetings over the summer also. Helped Jeff out with Shinearama this summer. Which was a fun way to get involved. Any questions just fire me a email. Chair: Reminder to project your voices cause it tends to cut in and out. Next up is the Shinearama summary brought forth by Jeff Waugh. (b) Shinerama Summary Brought forth by Jeff Waugh, VP Student Affairs Jeff Waugh: Shinearama is the responsibility that the VPSA has. My job is to hire a coordinator and make sure they do their job. This years coordinator (name?) had to have surgery partway through the July. Don't have a concret number due to calculating a few more expenses. The rough numbers are in the summer we rasied 43 hundred dollars, on shine day we raised 71 hundred dollars and from other sources we raised 358 dollars on a concert, book store did dollar round up that raised 550 dollars other sources is about 11hundred dollars. So the projected total is around 12 thousand 500 dollars which is alittle short of our goal but still a good amount. Football team has set up a society called the grid iron society which purpose is to fundraise for different charities, and has agreed to fundraise at every home game. Still haven't received the total from Saturday's game. (c) Student Activities Fund Brought forth by Jeff Waugh, VP Student Affairs Chair: Also brought forward by Jeff Waugh is the student activities fund. Jeff Waugh: Student Activities fund can be applied to through Jeff's office by email or talk to him (trying to reduce paper). Essentially it funds planed student activities. So if you want to throw an international dinner, dance, or karaoke, something along those lines, we have over 26thousands to use on these events. Encourage people to apply for the fund to use during events that will get a large amount of students out. Another point is that you should do it early, because by the time you send in the application and we meet about it, the event gets approved and you receive the funds it can be a little bit of a time. So do it right away. (d) Co-curricular Transcript Brought forth by Jeff Waugh, VP Student Affairs Jeff Waugh: The ? transcript was implanted midway through last year. What it is is a transcript that goes beyond grades. It incorperaites your volunteer experiences as well. It is an official document approved by the University. So the university gets official proof of all the things you have done. It is really good for people applying to law school or any type of job to have that requires volunteer experience. That is something that we are trying to promote this year. Through student affairs secretary, and Saundra Richards, the manager for Student Leadership and Pro? (I think that is her title?). She is heading it up this year. I just wanted to tell you guys about it. You can get one if you like and to tell other people to get one if they want. During the summer I did a report on how the ASU can promote the transcript, through clubs and organizations we can real make it fly and phase it in over the next couple of years. If you have any questions about it just come and talk to me about it. (e) SRC Meeting Times Brought forth by the Office of the Chairperson Chair: The next piece is brought forward by the Chair in regards to SRC meetings time. I just wanted to let you know that this isn't the permanent meeting time. We are going to wait till a full council is called. The bi-elections is are on the 30th. So I figured when we have a full council I'll send out an email and we can work out a time that works for the council. As a posed to me just saying this is when the meeting is work around it. (f) SRC Retreat Brought forth by the Office of the Chairperson Chair: The next item is in regards to the SRC retreat. As some of you may know there is an SRC retreat after a full council is formed. That will be on Saturday Oct. 4th between 10 and 3. I'll send you an email about this remind you of what is going on. I won't be needing executive between 10 and 12. Everyone else between 10 and 12 and 1 to 3 are the times. Properly be lunch in between there and maybe a dinner. Should be a good time. Alright if there is no objects we shall move on to – Kyle? Kyle Steele: I just wanted to talk to you guys about two things. Enrollment up date and the federal Candidate debate. As of last Friday we have not heard from 44 new student. Last year we only admitted 940 so we are up, which is good. That number includes education students. Are total number is not 2934 undergrads full time. The university is on the upside. Secondly, September 30th 6pm ASU will be hosting the federal candidates debate. All four of the major parties will be there. All running for this riding. It will be from 6 to 8 pm at University Hall. The moderator is Ian Wilts from Senate. If you have questions you would like asked to the candidates you can email it to me. Because we are going to be doing this through cards passed out at the start of the event. There will be no microphone just to prevent a made rush. So kind of like the form of the strike last year, which worked out quite well. So please spread the word and tell people to vote. Chair: Thank you. If there are no objections we'll move on to question period. IV. QUESTION PERIOD Chair: Tim? Tim: I was just wondering about the ? transcripts ???? Chair: Okay, Jeff would you care to answer that? Jeff: The focus for this year will be on first year students. As long as you have substantiated proof that you did the volunteer experience your good. Chair: Any other questions? Okay if there are no objects we will be moving on to Discussion Period. V. DISCUSSION PERIOD (a) Prospective Changes to the ASU investment Policy Statement Brought forth by Lianna Meredith, VP Finance Lianna Meredith: Okay so the reason, I don't have this under new business is that it is going to be two part. I have two speakers for this but only one speaker is able to make it today. So we are luck to have our auderator Jack ? to speak about the new accounting rules for our money and then once I have the meeting with ? then I'll get the other speaker to ??? I invite Jacklyn to come forward and speak on this new rule. Jacklyn: I'm a charging account with Grand fortin something in Kentville. And I'm working with the audit in the ASU this year. Basically what is happening is within the accounting standards, new standards have come out regarding financial instruments. And what financial instruments are a contract which create a financial asset with one party and a financial audin on the other side. And with in the accounting standards it tells how and when to measure financial instruments on the financial statement and the approperate disclosure. So the impact for the ASU is that this standard became effective April 1st 2007. So when your year ended March 31st 2008, basically these standards had to be incorporated for the statements to be incompliance with GAP? The biggest area that it affects is the investments. With investments there has always been an account with historical cost. So the amount that you paid for that it was the amount that appeared on the balance sheet. With this new standard it stated that investments should be accounted for at their market value which is the value today. So that value is going to go up and down everyday and every month because of market securities that fluctuate, like Bank of Montreal, Bank of Nova Scotia. At your end we will compare last years market value to this years market value and it will be in the drop range. Its not a real gain or loss because you haven't sold. Its called unreloss. Just a little more on this particular policy. Its not retroactive, when it came in to affect 08 your end we had to do a transition to get a difference between the 07 end and 08 end bumped up or down which everyway it goes. Basically what needs to happen once I go through a little more and once you have your other speaker you need to make a decision about which policy you are selecting and a prove it in the minutes and that is for us as auders to insure our independence that we did not make a decision on behave management. I'll just look at your balance sheet really quickly. For example cash is at fair market value so there is no effect on that same with receivables. If you collect them today you will get what's on your books as long as everyone paid what they said they would paid. Same with implutory.? Pre-paid are opted out of this policy as well as building improvements and things like that. Tables (?) are they same as receivables in that when you pay them today you are paying the amount on your invoice it doesn't fluctuate. And invert revenues are ? so for the ASU, that is going to be the only thing in danger that is effected by that scale. And the reason this becomes a little more interesting is a couple select policy's you can pick from. You get to pick half of what is presented. The first choice is for trading and this one is for when investments are held to fine, in terms of profit making. They are recorded and traded at their value. But unrealized gains and loses, that will appear on the statement of operations and it isn't a real income because its not money that is actually collected. Under the for sale option financial aspects are not classified as help for trading or help for receivables. They are recorded and treated at fair value. Realised gains and loses are shown in the statement but unrealized gains and loses are not shown in the statement but in operating surplus. So it appears on the second statement on its own. So for 2008 it will be up to the student councils to determine which way is appropriate and we would go from there. I'm open for questions. Chair: Thank you very much. Are there any questions directed to Jacklyn, Laura will have a running speakers lists so just raise your hand. Any questions at all? Jeff Waugh: So what you are saying is that the adjustments are only going to happen at the end of each year? Jacklyn: If you guess where looking at internal statement it is usually done at the end of the year but I could help Lianna look at them monthly. But generally it is done at the end of the year. Chair: Any other questions? Borden Scott: I'm trying to follow this. Are we basically asking your firm to do audits to the student counting standard or not to. Jacklyn: The standard is out there and I guess at this level we are looking for what choice of whether it is shown on the base of the statement or on a separate statement. There is also the choice not to adopt this policy. However, not adopting this policy results in a fault in the auditing report. Chair: Any other questions? Lianna Meredith: I did send out a copy of this to you guys and I was just wondering if you would go over the one we were discussing. Jacklyn: The one that we were using in the 2008 is the available for sale option its on the memo, pretty close to the bottom. This option was selected when we mocked up some situation at the years end. Revenue over expenses flows into the operating surplus, which is fine. The other method as opposed to appearing on your statement it goes directly to the statement of operating surplus. Dollar for dollar it will end up the same it is just presentation of where things go that is different. Tim Hansen: So the second one is easier for people trying to figure out our statements? Jacklyn: I think the available for sale option will be fine enough for people to understand. Chair: Thank you Jacklyn. Moving on to the next item that is brought forth by Dr. Jon Saklofske. (e) Diminishing Assistantships Brought forth by Dr. Jon Saklofske, Faculty Representative Chair: Thank you Jacklyn. Moving on to the next item that is brought forth by Dr. Jon Saklofske. Dr. Sakloske: I wanted to bring this to the attention of the council because it is something that I discovered recently at the department meeting and it disturbed me quite a bit. In holding informal conversations with other professors I've become more disturbed. It is a pretty serious issue. I'm sure you are aware that the budget for the departments where cut by 30% this year, I'm here to inform you how those cuts are effecting students in the departments. Here is an example from the English department this year we went from 15 permanent teaching assistantships or research assistantships for mostly undergraduate studies to 5. The History department only have enough money to fund there TA's and RA's for the first semester, they have no funds left for the second semister. Poli Sci has cut 3 to 5 of their permanent positions because of those cuts. That is just three departments; I'm wondering how this is effecting across the board. I'm hoping that the Students Representative Council will be able to distant themselves from the writeups I saw in last weeks Ath which suggested that the deficit is equally to the increase in professors salary. I suggest that the SRC looks into this, remember these are informal numbers and all departments should be looked at. The TA and RA are beneficial to the students, they provide a salary and work experience. Chair: Any questions or comments? No, alright thank you very much Dr. Saklofske. VI. New Business (a) Be it resolved that the SRC approve an extra six (6) hours worth of coursework for Kyle Steele for the current term. Moved by: Kyle Steele, President Seconded by: Emma Cullen, VP Academic Motion Fails Chair: Moving on to new business, there is quite a bit here. Item A be it resolved that the SRC approve an extra 6 hours worth of courses for the current academic term. I'll just clarify that academic term means this term. Brought forth by Kyle Steele, second by Emma Cullen. Kyle would you like to go ahead. Kyle Steele: First I would like to thank Bronwyn for entertaining this motion today. Short of this whole thing is that I need to graduate this year. You guys gave me permission to take a 6 hour business course this summer unfortunately that course was moved from a calendar course to a distance course, just shortly after we talked. So the course being offered is a music course for non-music majors. I can play 6 instruments so that shouldn't be a problem. With that in mind I had to add a course into my full year, its still distance just being taken during the year, so its cool. Last year I took three very heavy duty Poli Sci courses that required a lot of my time, they are certainly more heavy duty then the five I am registered in now. I also ask that the SRC keep in mind that this is my second year in the position that I know what it takes and what a time commitment it is. Just to give you an outline of the courses I am taking Natural Disasters, Music for non- Music majors which is the distance course, Introduction to computers; I'm a web- designer, Introductory Physiology, English using Canadian and Municipal politics. Those last two are the two I need to take to get my minor the other four are electives. That's all I have left to take in my university career is electives. So, I feel that they won't take up a lot of my time. I've been dealing with them now for two weeks. Also, I would like to remind the SRC that two executives from last year were allowed to take extra course time. Chair: Just to clarify the two Kyle are talking about are Colin Hoult VP Academic took and extra course and Andrew MacLeod who also took an extra courses. Emma. Emma Cullen: I think Kyle summed it up nicely. Chair: Okay we will open it up for question and discussion now. Please address your questions to me and obviously Kyle will answer them. So does anyone have any questions they would like to ask? Tim Tim Hansen: I'm just wondering what next semester will look like. Chair: Kyle do you want to answer that? Kyle Steele: It is an extra two classes per semester. One would be distance and one would be in the class. Chair: Just to clarify this, this resolution is for this term only. Other questions? Steve Barron: I am just wondering why you didn't take a different course this summer to make up the 6 hours? Kyle Steele: My biggest thing is I didn't want to take a courses that wouldn't take up a lot of my time. Which is why I am taking Music for non-music majors it will take minimal amount of my time. I would just like to mention that I have finished 95% of what I said I would do. Chair: Jenn Jenn Nguyen: Just to clarify, you said that Music for non-music majors was not offered this summer? Kyle Steele: It went from being a calendar course to being an open course. All of Acadia's distance education program is changing right now. This course was not an open course till August. Jenn Nguyen: So it wasn't offered till August? Kyle Steele: It wasn't an open course till August. It was offered through the calendar. SO this courses went from being a calendar course to an open course this summer. Jenn Nguyen: I just don't understand what an open Acadia Course is. Kyle Steele: Open Acadia is now the distance education. So they just changed the name from distance education to open Acadia. There are two courses 1013 and 1023 this is 1033 ad 1043. Jenn Nguyen: What is the difference? Kyle Steele: One was not one I was interested in and they only take so many reservations at a time. Chair: You guys can start addressing your questions through me please. Jenn Nguyen: Chair, as President of the ASU how many courses are you allowed to take, is it three? Chair: According to the constitution it is three. Jenn Nguyen: So for an extra 6 hours that would make it 6 courses. Kyle Steele: It would be 5 courses. I would be taking an extra two three hour courses. Chair: Matt Matt Chapman: Did you overload last year at all? Kyle Steele: No, I didn't Tim Hansen: I just want to say one last thing. I am not as concerned as I initially thought it was going to be 6 courses and that fact that last year executive members were allowed to overload. I think that we shall have to see this semester to determine about next semester. Chair: Right now we will only worry about this term and we will deal with next term when it comes up. Margaret. Margaret Keaveny: I just want to know how many days you will be away this semester? Kyle Steele: Non this semester. Chair: Any other questions for Kyle. Alright, can I ask for someone to call question end of discussion. Emma and Jenn seconds. Steve Barron: Chair, can I get a secret ballot. Chair: Yes, can I get a seconder for that. Jenn. Alright, I have asked Kyle to refraim from voting since this involves him. So we have 8 voting members. Laura will come and grab them when you are done. We are voting for Yes, No and Abstain. Alright we have the votes, by a result of 2 yeses, 4 no's, and 2 abstains the motion fails. Moving on to item b) be it resolved that the SRC let Lianna Meredith be approved three extra hours for the current term. Brought forth by Lianna Meredith and seconded by Kyle Steele. Lianna would you like to begin. (b) Be it resolved that the SRC approve an extra three (3) hours worth of coursework for Lianna Meredith for the current term. Moved by: Lianna Meredith, VP Finance Seconded by: Kyle Steele, President Motion Carries Lianna Meredith: In order for me to graduate this May I need to complete two courses this year. My courses load is pretty light. I have one accounting courses, two business course and an elective and if this is improved I would be taking an other elective. This elective will have an assignment due once a week. Chair: Kyle would you like to improve on that? Kyle Steele: Sounds good so far. Chair: Moving on to questions? Matt Matt Chapman: I just want to know what you've been doing with your job so far. Lianna Meredith: Meeting with the House Presidents, Clubs and committees, operation managers, and so forth to make sure that their budgets are all in order. As well as some other day to day stuff. Chair: Any other questions? Jenn Jenn Nguyen: What is you elective right now? Lianna Meredith: Nutrition : Contemporary Issues. Chair: Any more questions. Matt Matt Chapman: So you are taking three courses now and want to take your fourth. Lianna Meredith: No, I'm taking four course and want to take a fifth. I just need this one course to graduate. Chair: Any other questions. Margaret. Margaret Keaveny: How many courses are you allowed to take in the constitution? Chair: Four. Called to question Jenn and seconded by Steve. Time to put to a vote. Steve Barron: I would like to request secret ballot again Chair: Do we have a seconder? Emma. So you can vote Yes, No, and Abstain. By a vote of 6 yeses, 1 no's, and 2 abstains the motion is passed. (c) Be it resolved that the SRC approve the financial statements of the 2007-2008 academic year.

By Lianna Meredith seconded by Kyle Steele. Lianna Meredith: Okay I've just been informed that not everyone has received a copy. If we have any questions they can be asked with Jaclyn here. Chair: Kyle, care to add to that? Kyle Steele: Its all good. Chair: No questions okay can I get someone to call to question. Jenn seconded by Emma. Okay we will put this to vote that the SRC approves the statements. Yeses: 6, No's 0, and abstains: 2. Motion carries.

(d) Be it resolved that the SRC appoint Bronwyn Andrews, Kyle Steele, Tim Hansen, Steve Barron, and Emma Cullen to sit on the official sub-committee of the Chair's Office until both positions can be confirmed by the SRC. Moved by: Emma Cullen, VP Academic Seconded by: Kyle Steele, President Motion Carries Emma Cullen: This is a committee that is established every time someone needs to be hired in the chairs office. So it is pretty standard and done every year. Chair: So basically, this is how it works, if you would like to nominate someone raise your hand, the nominee can say yes or no. If more then three people are nominated it will be put to vote. Jenn Nguyen: How many hours does this take? Kyle Steele: It depends on how many people apply. It is usually 30 to 40 minutes an interview then the discussion with the committee. So probably no more than 5 hours. Chair: Okay nominations. Emma Cullen: I nominate Steve. Chair: Do you accept. Steve Barron: Yes Matt: Can I nominate Emma. Chair: Emma, do you accept. Emma: If no one else is accepts Steve: I nominate Tim. Chair: DO you accept. Tim Hansen: Yes. Chair: Any other nominations.

Principal: Hello, boys. Stan: Wait, what's going on here? Kyle: Alright look, we don't know for sure why Cartman is ditching school, but it has something to do with abortions.That's all we know. Mr. Mackey: You didn't do anything wrong, boys; We just need to talk to you. Have a seat. (Stan and Kyle sit down) Mr. Mackey: Well boys, your little friend, Kenny, went to the hospital last night, m'kay? And well...he's pretty sick. Kyle: Kenny's sick? Stan: Well, how sick? Chef: Children, Kenny has been diagnosed with a terminal disease. Stan: But the doctor's are gonna make him better, right? Sharon: Oh, dear. Stan But mom, that's what hospitals are for, they can make him better. Sharon: Oh, Randy. Randy: They don't think so, Stanley. Your friend is terminally ill, and that means--well son...that means he's gonna be going to Heaven soon. Kyle: Wait, Kenny's going to die? Gerald: He might, Kyle. Stan: But he's our f-f-friend. Mr. Mackey: We know, and that's why he's going to need you boys to be strong for him, m'kay? He needs you now, more then ever. Stan: No! This can't happen! Kenny can't die! Kenny can't die! (Stan begins sobbing into his dad's shoulder)
Kyle: Alright, Cartman, what's so important that you had to pull us away from lighting cow crap on fire? Cartman: Oh, you guys, you're not gonna believe it! Stan: What? Cartman: Guess what I have, sitting in my backyard. Kyle: A trampoline? Cartman: Better. Stan: A boat? Cartman: Better. Kenny: (muffled) A football machine? Cartman: Better. Stan: Well, what, Cartman? Cartman: Thirty-three aborted fetuses. (Stan,Kyle and Kenny look at him blankly) Oh yes. Kyle: (closes his eyes) What?! Cartman: Mint-condition, tax-free. Stan: Cartman, what the hell are you doing with aborted fetuses? Kyle: I'm leaving, right now. Cartman: Well, I guess you don't watch the news, Kyle. Kyle: You've never watched the news, fat-ass! What the hell does that have to do with anything?! Cartman: Stem-cells, numb-nuts. Stan: Stem-cells? Kyle: Oh, and what do you know about stem-cells? Kenny(muffled): What the f--k are stem-cells? Kyle: They're cells that come from fetuses, and some research shows that they could be used to treat diseases. Cartman: It's been proven, Jew! I saw it on 321 contact, and with all the research that's going on, stem-cells are worth three times their weight in gold. What I have in my backyard, is an aborted treasure chest. Kyle: I hate you, so much.
Kyle: (Talking about Kenny) They say, he might die. Cartman: Kenny… die?
Butters: (On the phone) You're breaking my balls. I said, you're breaking my balls, Mr. Thompson. My, my balls.
Cartman: (On the phone) Hello. Is this the University of Colorado Biology Department? …Great, uh I understand you're currently doing research on stem cells? Kewl, because I'm currently in possession of some aborted fetuses that I'm looking to unload? …Uh, how much do you pay? …No, no, come on, ah I got a guy who's gonna give me eighty dollars a pound right now. …How about a hundred? …Oh you're breaking my balls- I, I'll think about it. (Next shot) Bosnod Medical Group? …Yeah, I called earlier about the stem cells and the fetuses? …Okay, hi Randy, yeah. …Oh yes, they've been kept in a cool temperature, yeah. …These are primo fetuses, Randy, I wouldn't jerk you around. …So what can your company give me for 'em? …Oh Randy, you're breaking my balls here. …You're breaking my balls, Randy. (The next shot) Oh please! Okay, you tell me where you can get aborted fetuses for seventy cents on the dollar? You tell me, Chuck? …Yeah, I didn't think so-You know, I'm just like the fetuses, Chuck. I wasn't born yesterday, either. Uh huh. …So are you gonna talk to me, or are we just gonna keep bull s******* each other? Breakin' my balls, Chuck. (The next shot) I gotta unload these fetuses, you wanna do some research. Are we talkin' here or what? You're breaking my balls. …I'm telling you, if you let this deal pass you by, you're making a fetal mistake. That's a joke …A hundred ten. …Alright, alright, we got a deal. …Good bye. (Cartman hangs up the phone) D***, I'm good.
Kyle: Stan, you can't leave! Stan: (Talking about Kenny) I'm not the one who's leaving, he is!
Butters: (Butters touches the cow crap) Ew, it's all sticky.
Cartman: Doctor, can you tell me exactly how stem cells work? Doctor: Well you have trillions of cells in your body, heart cells, skin cells, brain cells and so on. But before a cell is designated as a toenail cell, or a pancreas cell, it's what we call a stem cell. Sort of like a blank cell, do you understand? Cartman: Not at all, but go on.
Notes (7)
Episode Songs: The song Cartman sings before finding the aborted fetuses is called "Morning Train," originally recorded by Sheena Easton. The song that Cartman sings in front of Congress is "Heat of the Moment" by Asia.
Alternate title: Cartman Testifies Before Congress
This is the first time Cartman uses the phrase "You're breaking my balls."
Matt and Trey wanted to kill off one of the boys and replace him with Butters.
Matt and Trey's first idea was to kill off Kyle since Kyle and Stan were similar characters. They then decided to just kill off Kenny because they were tired of thinking of ways to kill him in every episode.
This is the first episode where Kenny dies and actually stays dead through almost all of the following season.
This is also the first episode where Stan, Kyle, and Cartman actually give a damn that Kenny's dying.
Trivia (7)
This is the first time Cartman considers himself to be best friends with Kenny.
This is the first (and probably only time) that Kyle hugs Cartman, and vice versa.
At the beginning when the woman is in the operating room getting an abortion, she has a white blanket. But when she says the line "I'm sure it'll help others." the blanket turns the same color as her dress, then it changes back to white.
In this episode, every time Stan says the word "friend," he stutters.
RE:(1&2)Cartman probably tried to help Kenny, but when he found out that Kenny had died he needed something to do with all the fetuses and didn't want people to think that he was a wimp so he built the pizza place.
The flag when Cartman went to address Congress was backwards. The stars are supposed to be in the upper left, not the upper right when it is hung straight down.
When Cartman is sitting in his room, trying to sell the fetuses, you can see the door leading to the rest of the house right next to a window, through which you can see snowy mountains.
Allusions (3)
Stem Research Ban The episode seems to be loosely based on the ban on federal funding for embryonic stem research lines developed after August 9th, 2001. The ban was placed by President Bush.
Brian's Song: Cartman: I love Kenny McCormick, and I want you to love him too. This refers to the 1971 film Brian's Song when Gale Sayers is making a speech on his friend Brian Piccolo's behalf.
The Benny Hill Show: At the beginning of the episode, when the woman is at the clinic, the TV in the background (where the laughter is coming from) appears to be showing Benny Hill. He's slapping an old bald guy on the head, which was a frequent gag on The Benny Hill Show.

Forsynthia bush
Last year I "saved" a little forsynthia bush and this year I've noticed it has many crooked branches. It basically looks like a disaster, even after I pruned and removed the problem branches.
My question is: Would it be wise to cut back in the fall to the ground or higher to encourage new growth?
The bush is currently 2 ft across by 2 ft high.
Forsythias grow so fast once they establish that you probably don't have to do much right now. As it sends up new growth from the ground level, you can prune out some of the branches that you don't want....just a few at a time. We had a cement truck drive over ours, but 3 years later, it looks pretty good again. If there are lots of reserves in the roots, it can send up a 6 or 8 foot shoot from the soil line in one year. If it's younger, new growth will be smaller.

NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 01/14/13 -- The German Convention Bureau has issued 2013 predictions for the global meetings industry. These include:
1. Know-How Will Be King ... and Queen: As many of the world's economies continue to transition to service and knowledge-based markets, expertise and know-how will become more of a commodity and "product." In 2013, look for meeting and event destinations to more strongly leverage their local expertise, people power and information excellence to attract and retain clients -- be they from the medical/scientific, pharmaceutical, automotive, transportation or other fields. Meeting planners are increasingly looking to link meetings and events with their organization or client's sphere of interest through access to highly respected companies, research institutes, initiatives and globally known opinion-leaders. As well as offering valuable contacts, synergies in expertise between a destination and meeting delegates offer the opportunity for site and educational visits, on-strategy activities, impactful speakers, first-hand access to new studies and data, and sponsorship relationships. (See MPI's Future of Meetings Research Project for more on the importance of know-how.)
2. Smaller Meetings Will Get More Respect: While the number of large meetings continues to decrease, small meetings are on the rise, as evidenced in multiple studies on the meetings industry (e.g., CWT's 2013 Travel Price Forecast and the UK's Hotel Booking Agents Association Survey "Eventonomics"). Suppliers in particular will learn to better appreciate smaller meetings as a great reputation builder and -- when executed with the utmost efficiency and professionalism -- a draw for future meetings business. As they say, "good things come in small packages" -- and smaller meetings can lead to more small-, medium- and even large-scale business in the future.
3. Personalization Will Make a Come Back: Even as lead times shrink and the number of RFPs grow (as seen in MPI's Business Barometer 2012), now is not the time to lean on cookie cutter, impersonal responses to try and get business done. Although standard response templates are expected to build consistency and quality, in 2013 the industry should be careful to take a breath and personalize their responses more by discovering the client's true needs and core business goals. This is all the more important as unique and unexpected elements in the response to an RFP can win a meeting for a destination, service or venue. Also expect some providers to try and build a little more flexibility into their offer response deadlines.
4. Green IT Will Become Part of the Conversation: Sustainability in meetings had another strong showing this year in terms of awareness and effort as seen in the 2012 German Meeting and Event Barometer and at events such as IMEX in Frankfurt and IMEX America. Recycling, reduced paper and resource use, and greener catering were all great steps toward more sustainable meetings...but look for the topic of Green IT to get more airplay in 2013. Computers, smart phones, tablets and servers -- all in high play before, during and after meetings and events -- use energy as well, which is usually generated from coal or nuclear power that emits carbon and/or creates other environmental concerns. Enter "Green IT," a relatively new concept that refers to environmentally sustainable computing or IT, and expect it to become more of a conversation starter in the meetings industry this coming year.
5. Value Remains Paramount but Broadens to Experience ROI: Innovation and sustainability are important themes within the economy as a whole and the meetings industry in particular, but at the end of the day, cost will again remain a key decision factor when choosing an event location in 2013. Even as globalization is evening out prices across cities, regions and countries, destinations with friendly tax environments (offering perks like VAT reclaim,) stellar know-how sharing, strong quality, and well run and highly accessible transportation infrastructures will have a competitive advantage as they deliver on overall experience ROI. (See the IMEX Power of 10 Study for more information in trends on industry ROI and value-add.)

Help. My chili is too acidic. What to do?
We are having friends over tomorrow night for Halloween dinner.....Chili with beans over rice and hot corn muffins. It's a tradition. Normally, my chili comes out just fine, but I just finished cooking it and it's way too acidic. Help!! I have read a few things on line, but I didn't want to try them without consulting this forum. Does anyone have a tried and true way to reduce the acid. I sure would appreciate it. Thanks.
To be honest I've never been convinced that I know what "too acidic" tastes like, but I have seen recipes for marinara, etc. that say if too acidic add some butter.
Since I obviously don't know what I'm talking about, I don't know if this would help, but I figured I'd throw it out there!
Not too sure about what you mean by too acidic either but I have a recipe for a vegetarian chili that calls for 1 suqare of unsweetened chocolate in order to cut the sweetness of the tomatoe. It works like a charm & gives the chili a real depth of flavor (my husband says all it's missing is meat).
Good luck!
I know exactly what you mean....that sour bitey taste....hate it!
I add sugar....a little at a time...
Also grated carrot will sweeten it up...but that's because of the sugar in the carrots....
I would add some brown sugar...don't know how much chili you have but a tablespoon for a pot to serve 8 would be a start.
Linda C
My chili is tomato based, 2 cans diced toms, 1 large crushed toms, and 1 8 oz tom sauce, 2 lbs chili (beef) meat, 2 envelopes of McCormick's chili seasoning - one mild, one original, 1/2 t. ea of basil, thyme, oregano, sugar, and a gulp of red wine; 2 cans chili beans, 1 can pintos. I really like to taste the tomatoes, but what I mean by acidic is that it has a bite to it, not hot, but an acidic bite. That's how I describe it. lol, lol. I usually cook it in a big ole iron kettle, but decided to use the slow cooker and am wondering if it didn't cook up the same. I haven't tried it yet today, but will be serving it up tonight. I will try some of the ideas in a sample of chili. I am open to any other suggestions and thank you all for your help. I will let you know how it turns out.
I know exactly what you mean. I think you were right in the observation of cooking it in the iron kettle vs the slow cooker. The iron kettle is more "roasting" (which brings out more sweetness in the tomatoes) instead of the slow cooker which is closer to "steaming". The flavors will probably have melded a bit today, so I'm guessing some of the "bite" will be lessened. But I would put it on the stove top today in the iron pot and cook it down a bit more. Then if necessary, use the shredded carrot trick. The unsweetened chocolate will tone down the acidity and give it more depth as Sigh mentioned, but it will more noticeably cut down on the "tomato-y-ness" of it as well, so will the cinnamon and cloves. Those ingredients are used in moles which I love, but may not be what you intend.
Sugar! Increase the sugar. Thats a lot of tomatoes for just a half teaspoon of sugar. My dad made killer tomato sauce when I was growing up and always gave it a good size Tbs. of sugar, just plain old white sugar, but it made quite a difference in the taste. I agree with spacific that cooking it down a bit more in the iron pot (without the cover)will help the flavor too. Sometimes the old reliable pot seems to know how to flavor the stew!
I agree with the "add a bit of sugar" camp. My lasagna sauce recipe calls for a teaspoon full of sugar and grandma always added sugar to spaghetti or goulash, she said it cut the acid taste of the tomatoes and brought out their natural sweetness.
As spacific mentioned, I'd taste it first, though, to determine how much it needs. I find that things like chili mellow nicely overnight, and I like them even better the next day after I make them, so it might not be as acidic as it began.
I'm in the sugar camp too.......in fact, I just made chili Monday and had to do the same thing. Molasses is an option too. Not so sweet, nice dark color.
Just add a tiny bit (maybe a couple of teaspoons for a 6 qt. crockpot full). Simmer a few minutes, then taste. Adjust as necessary.
Now, if somebody could tell me how to take out one too many jalapenos............... (grin).
Hi, Everybody, I wanted to get back with everyone helping me with my acidic chili. I tried several suggestions mentioned under this posting. My chili was a hit....got so many compliments. Just shows how things work out with the help of friends. Thank you for making my Halloween Dinner such a success!!!
The caterer I work for adjusts her chili as needed to compensate for the acidity of the tomatoes with a tiny bit of Grade B maple syrup. I usually use San Marzano tomatoes in my own chili. They don't give me this problem. When I have to use other tomatoes I add a grated carrot when I put in the canned green chiles.
OK I came to this site 5 minutes ago. I just tried two thin squares of an expensive dark chocolate bar and it worked really well. I've had bad luck in the past using sugar or baking soda. I don't have any carrots on hand. I know this is an old thread, but thanks.

from the don't-touch-that-dial dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
I've been on it since '93, and it's still going okay: telnet://bbs.iscabbs.com. (Formerly of UIowa, but split off some six or seven years ago.)
Stop saying that. Einstein never said that. And he was a physicist.
If you're going to do that, at least use IMAP (Unless you're a Comcast customer, in which case, you have my condolences). IMAP lets you keep mail on the server and even organize it, rather than just having one huge Inbox. I use it on two desktops, a laptop, a smartphone, two Android tablets, and a webmail client (RoundCube).
Actually, real pros use
cat > filename
then type Ctrl-d when done.

I'm migrating a huge web application from SQL Server to MySql. The application uses Linq so i'm using DBLinq. Currently most things are working properly except for that on a few pages i get a strange error. It all started with this:
Property 'Int32 ForumID' is not defined for type 'DbLinq.Data.Linq.Table`1[CPost]'
I've obviously got a ForumID in the CPost class, so that isn't the problem. I tried copying the query to a separate file and started removing parts of it to see what caused the error. After a while i found out that this line:
var q = from u in db.Users select new {ab = u};
Caused a exception:
At the line:
throw new ArgumentException(operationType.ToString());
Source File: D:\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\DbLinq\src\DbLinq\Data\Linq\Sugar\Implementation\ExpressionDispatcher.Analyzer.cs Line: 858
But this code:
var q = from u in db.Users select u;
Ran Perfectly.
I can provide more information if it's needed however i can't post the entire source code since it's quite huge (above 10,000 lines not counting html). Have anyone had similar problems to these?
EDIT: After some further investigation i found that DbLinq complains because it does not find the keyword New or MemberInit from the query
var q = db.Posts.Select(post => post);
Works while:
var q = db.Posts.Select(o => new SPost {Post = o});
var q = db.Users.Select(u => new {user = u});
Throws an exception. The exception is made at line 285 in trunk/src/DbLinq/Vendor/Implementation/SqlProvider.cs

NAACP Image Awards Nominee, Jericho Brown, will read from his new collection of poetry, The New Testament on Wednesday, March 11th at 7 p.m. in Love Library, Room 430.
"His lyrics are memorable, muscular, majestic. Brown's poems are living on the page, and they give the reader that much: a sense of having been alive fully…" --Ilya Kaminsky
On Wednesday, March 25th at 7 p.m. in Love Library, Room 430, celebrated author, Benjamin Hollander, will read from his prophetic book, In the House Un-American.
"It is difficult to speak of Benjamin Hollander's masterpiece, so America, so like an inner emigration, as if we had all changed names...A book of this order comes very rarely to our consciousness." --David Shapiro
Artists from So Say We All and participants in the Veteran Writers Program celebrate the release of their collection, Homecoming, on Wednesday, April 15th at 7 p.m. in Love Library, Room 430. So Say We All is a literary and performing arts non-profit whose mission is to create opportunities for individuals to tell their stories, and tell them better, through three core priorities: publishing, performance, and education.
The Laurie Okuma Memorial Reading presents, esteemed novelist, Nahid Rachlin. On Wednesday, April 22nd at 7 p.m. in Love Library, Room 430, Rachlin will share selections from her celebrated memoir, Persian Girls.
"I am so impressed with Nahid Rachlin's style--its purity and sparseness and immediacy…The voice is cool and pure. Bleak is the right word, if you will understand that bleakness can have a startling beauty." --Anne Tyler
Author and SDSU Professor, Hal Jaffe, will share selections from his newest release, Induced Coma, on Wednesday, May 6th at 7 p.m. in Love Library, Room 430.
"Harold Jaffe's acts of literary terrorism work to wrestle control of the future of literature away from the dominant culture. Those who have benefited have seldom been literary artists. Jaffe has worked brilliantly to save literature from its unwitting complicity in the elimination of readers who dare question authority." --Eckhard Gerdes
Our events are free and open to the public. For more information, please contact Meagan Marshall at email@example.com or join our group on Facebook.

Jason and Angelica Engaged to Marry
Dear CatholicSingles.com,
Jason & I met on Catholic Singles in June 2013. There were many differences between us, such as age and location, but there was a much stronger attraction and that was Christ. Jason had an account for many years and I had just given the site a chance when all it took was a smile to begin our conversation and the rest was history. We are currently engaged and there is no one i would rather spend the rest of my life with than him. Through the site I was able to be extremely honest in regards to my faith and expectations in a relationship. May God continue blessing your ministry in all that you do! Thank you for understanding the truth of how love should truly be through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Sincerely, Angelica

I have a room in my house where we have swords and knives on display on and next to a slotted side shelf, perfect for growing vines going up the sides and the sheaths of the blade.
My question is this, I would like a low light, trainable climbing vine that would look good and not overly bunch up and make a bush inside my room. Is this possible and if so, what plant? If not, what other vines can you suggest that take low light and climb? (Nixing the bunching up portion)
James, AKA MrBoots
Low light in zone 9 is slightly more promising than up north, but could you be a little more specific about the light? The direction of the room & the proximity of the shelf to the window, and if it is on the same wall as the window, perpendicular, or across the room. Even light colored walls instead of something dark like paneling can help. Do you use fluorescent bulbs? As dellis said, Pothos immediately came to mind when reading your post. Or something to trail down from the top instead of growing up, maybe an ivy or creeper. How tall is the shelf?
knowing that my new pothos lost a part bc of me breaks my heart.see,one of my pothos had a huge thick brown 'roots?' attaching it along the soil and i wanted to free it so i clipped them.the vine that was freed turned out to be like 4 ft long-IT WAS BEAUTIFUL!!!unfortunately, a few days later the entire vine came out of its soil and altho i tried to revive it for two weeks it still looked weak and ver limp.i threw it away with a heavy heart and would like to ask a few questions to help me understand my girls.
1.what are teh brown roots that hold the vine to the soil?
2. how will i know hwo to free a vine?
3.could i have saved the vine that came out or repotted it?
The room's window faces north, and the lighting is actually quite dim. I have a standard lightbulb in the top of the room. The plant would be on the Eastern wall. In half of it in direct view of the window. The dresser it will sit on will be aproximately three feet high, and the shelf and swords it would climb would climb approximately 6 feet high, three feet higher than the dresser.
MrBoots, I think you would get the best results from Pothos in those conditions. Easy plant to find also.
Daphne, hi & welcome to Gardenweb. Feel free to start a new discussion for asking a new question.
1.what are teh brown roots that hold the vine to the soil? Pothos (and lots of other house plants) make roots in the air that can "find" the soil from quite a long distance.
2. how will i know hwo to free a vine? If you leave the tips to hang down past the pot, they won't find the soil and you can end up with some really long vines this way.
3.could i have saved the vine that came out or repotted it? It's hard to say without seeing what it looked like...
