Shrek the Musical stands out among other shows for its original, fully mobile and interactive set - some props even emerge from the floor! The magic-mirror is one of the most incredible props with its good old-fashioned appeal and an added touch of technological magic! This versatile set is worthy of the choicest accolades in the category. The same can be said for the elaborate costumes, which include prosthetics and bodysuits - prepare to be enthralled as Fiona is turned from delicate princess to Ogre in just over a minute!
With Jeanine Tesori (of Thoroughly Modern Millie) as the composer and Lindasy-Abaire as lyricist, the musical score is a blast! The slap-stick features of Shrek the Musical are neutralized and made adorable by the true-to-fairy-tale beauty of the costumes and choreography which lend that authentic sweetness of childhood's imaginary worlds. It all comes together in hit song sequences like "Morning Person" and "Big, Bright World."
Shrek the Musical emulates a medieval mood without being disharmonious with modern sensibilities. The result is a show that sparkles with wondrous, delightful moments as well as moments bursting with sheer comic entertainment. A generic story of an outcast who is forever changed after he finds a kindred spirit, Shrek tells the tale of a boy who was abandoned when his parents found out that he was an ogre. He finds peace in his secluded swamp. But his solitude is disrupted when Lord Farquaad, the villain, sends a whole population of fairy tale characters into exile near Shrek's home. This population includes a talkative, over-the-top funny and clingy Donkey. In trying to regain his swampland from Lord Farquaad, Shrek gets entangled with the rescue-mission of Princess Fiona - whose castle is surrounded by lava and protected by a fearsome dragon. A comic adventure ensues, in which Shrek and his irritating companion Donkey - who tries to persuade Shrek to let him be his companion and whose persuasion strategies include poeticizing - "You and I belong together," he persists, despite being repeatedly rejected by Shrek "like Yin and Yang/ Nin and Chang" and desperate for a rhyme with "please" he adds "like donuts and diabetes!" Donkey's song "Don't let me go!" is hysterical, and goes to show that unlikely partners as they are, Shrek and Donkey definitely belong together.
If you enjoyed Shrek the movie and all the fabulous sequels with their pop-parodies and such, you'll be amazed by how well Shrek the Musical creates the same parallels in the theatre scene. Shrek the Musical is sure to dazzle you and become a family favorite!

HARRISBURG, Pa. - The head of Pennsylvania megabrewery D.G. Yuengling and Son Inc. calls Gov. Tom Corbett "a great man" who's trying to do the right thing.
Company president and owner Dick Yuengling said at a Pennsylvania Press Club appearance on Monday he hopes the state will adopt a right-to-work policy for union representation and reduce the capital stock and franchise tax.
Yuengling said Corbett's office contacted him "right away" after he was quoted saying the Pottsville-based company might build its next brewery in another state.
Yuengling also said he's not worth a billion dollars, despite his inclusion earlier this year on a Forbes magazine list of billionaires.
He said no one's going to offer him a billion dollars for the company, but even if someone did, he wouldn't take it.

Columbia County Commission Chairman Ron Cross this past week declared, almost as an afterthought, that the county's attempt to undo the Magnolia Trace development is finished.
"As far as our action, this is the end of it," Cross said, reporting to fellow commissioners on the opinion from an outside attorney that the "affordable housing" project can't be, and likely never could have been, stopped by local government action.
This is the kind of cooperation we'd like to hear happen much more often.
Columbia County's school system is building a new school on Gibbs Road to replace Evans Elementary. Site prep has already started, and part of the construction will include adding turn lanes along Gibbs Road.
It's still far too early to know which candidates will appear on the ballots for Columbia County elections this year. But thanks to Columbia County commissioners, we can be pretty sure voters will have an opportunity to sound off on a couple of important issues.
First, voters will be able to decide July 31, during the party primaries, whether to allow Sunday package sales of alcohol in Columbia County.
Perhaps the best way to label this time for Columbia County's Convention and Visitor's Bureau is "transitional."
The best thing the community can hope for, then, is that the product of that transition is continued improvement.
As 2011 neared an end, the only director the county's relatively young CVB had ever known turned in her resignation. The friction that led to that departure is gone, but also lacking is the boundless energy that Beda Johnson brought to the job.
For those who hoped a legal opinion from a Savannah lawyer would heroically derail the Magnolia Trace development, the belated news is more of a fizzle.
Not only is there nothing Columbia County commissioners can do to stop the "affordable housing" development in Martinez, but there likely was never anything they could have done to stop it in the first place.
It seems one of the more troubling stories of a rough 2011 will have a happy ending.
Homes for Our Troops announced this past week that a Build Brigade will start construction at the end of January on a new home for paralyzed U.S. Army veteran Sean Gittens and his family.
After what a Homes for Our Troops spokesman calls a "ceremonial kick-off" on Jan. 27, a swarm of mostly volunteers will erect a 2,700-square-foot, handicapped-accessible home for the Gittens family on a lot on Tubman Road in Appling.
Just in case anyone still holds a lingering hope that the Georgia Department of Transportation isn't going to build a traffic circle in the Pumpkin Center intersection, it's probably time to put that to rest.
Despite near-unanimous opposition from local residents and a tepid reception from local officials, the state DOT is plowing ahead with spending a huge federal grant to build the roundabout.
The last of the leftovers are gone, the wrapping-paper has been tossed and the first sets of batteries on new toys already have run dead.
But before the Christmas tree comes down for recycling, it's time to look under the branches once more just to make sure we didn't miss any of these items as we provide the annual list of items that Santa forgot.
(Please note that none of these items carry a money-back guarantee, none of them are "as seen on TV," and all are provided with tongue firmly in cheek.)
We've got it pretty good.
Most people today are waking up to family celebrations, opening gifts and preparing for big meals. It's Christmas, and we're free to celebrate, or not, any way we wish.
There are plenty of less-free places to contrast. For now, think about North Korea, often called the world's largest prison.
In case you missed it, word came out last week of an early Christmas present for some of Columbia County's more beleaguered motorists:
Not only is the county preparing to end the perpetual bottleneck along Washington Road west of Gibbs Road, but the awful intersection of Lewiston Road and William Few Parkway is scheduled for improvements that could include a traffic signal.
Traffic lights are funny things: They're frequently demanded at dangerous intersections, yet cursed by motorists stuck at them.

Asking next-of-kin of recently deceased cancer patients to take part in research: 11 of 20 surveyed found it a positive experience

School of Nursing, Vanderbilt University, 461 21st Avenue, South 418 Godchaux hall, Nashville, TN 37240, USA; terrah.l.foster{at}vanderbilt.edu
Commentary on: Koffman J, Higginson IJ, Hall S, et al. Bereaved relatives' views about participating in cancer research. Palliat Med 2012;26:379–83.
Implications for practice and research
These results will aid the development of protocols for screening bereaved individuals who are eligible for study participation.
These results provide insight into bereaved participants' preferences for data collection methods (eg, face-to-face, phone and self-completion postal surveys).
The needs of non-cancer-related deaths and paediatric populations (eg, bereaved child participants; childhood deaths) need consideration in future studies.
In 2008, the Department of Health in England called for a better understanding of bereaved relatives' views of end-of-life care. However, ethical concerns exist regarding whether the vulnerable population of bereaved relatives should be involved as research study participants. With little research evidence addressing this ethical debate, Koffman and colleagues explored the appropriateness and acceptability of an end-of-life-care …

Does Cub management care because the Tribune Company is supposedly being sold
Will the Cubs be looking to dump that contract in three or four years, if not sooner
Does signing Soriano guarantee anything other than a bit of publicity

And don't you think this contract would hurt the cause of selling off the Cubs if it is that bad?
ahhh, the pleasure about worrying about 3 years from now. I want them to be good in 2007. We can worry about 2010 if we get there.
Really? You mean there is a FA out there right now (or ever)that does guarantee something?

Lee has been described as a DH in waiting. The Indians already have a Dh. I'd like an OF who can at least make an attempt to catch the ball.
Zito - the NY Mets have his former pitching coach with the As - have money to spend and want starting pitching - somehow i don't think the Indians can win that battle without doing something dumb
Schmidt - has said all along that its either back to Seattle or staying in SF, doesn't sound like he even wants to listen to anyone else.

This place just opened Monday and by chance the wife and I were in Chardon for the first time in a long time and found this place on the square.
The food was top notch! I recommend it for that alone. We are not beer drinkers but we did have a glass of beer each( i had the Old Route 21 IPA I think that is the name - from a Stongsville brewery and Mrs. Hebner had their house brew - Working Man's Pale Ale) We also had a sampler of the other 4 beers they have on tap. From memory: Great Lakes Elliot Ness, Willoughby Brewing Dubble - A belgian style, A Russian stout, and Cellar Rats Pilsner of Debonne Winery fame.
We ordered apple bourbon chicken over a bed of wild rice and a side of garlic mashed potatoes and the fish and chips. We split the two dishes so we could get an idea if they can serve up good food and we were both very pleased. I highly recommend the beer battered fish but the chicken was also very good with a nice smokey grilled flavor. The prices were very reasonable - about $12 for each dish and the portions were huge.
They also offer wines from South Rivery Winery which I believe is in Harpersfield not too fr from Debonne or Ferrante.
I am in no way affiliated with this place but i really have to give a thumbs up for the food. The beer I am unsure of since i do not know much about it. That IPA kicked my butt since it has 9% alcohol!

This blog posts talks about caching and retrieving objects in PHP (eg: via Memcache) where the objects themselves have a number of injected dependencies. It includes using the PHP magic methods __sleep and __wakeup to manage serialisation. It also discusses mechanisms for re-injecting dependencies on wakeup via a method that maintains Inversion of Control (IoC).
This post covers:
- A sample OOP system that we will discuss
- The basics of Dependency Injection
- Putting objects to sleep
- Waking objects up
Sample system
To illustrate the idea, I'll use a simple domain model where we have a userList object (iterator) containing a number of user objects. Each user has an injected userDao dependency which is used for lazy-loading usageHistory, on request.
class userList { public function current() { } public function key() { } public function next() { } public function rewind() { } public function valid() { } public function count() { } } class user { private $usageHistory; public function __construct($dao, $userDataRow) { $this->dao = $dao; $this->usageHistory = NULL; } public function getUsageHistory() { if ($this->usageHistory === NULL) { $this->usageHistory = $this->dao->lazyLoadHistory($this); } return $this->usageHistory; } } class userDao { public function __construct($database, $cache, $logger) public function getList() { } public function lazyLoadHistory() { } } class usageHistory { }
Dependency Injection
A sample invocation of this simple system might be to ask the DAO for a user list object. To create a DAO object we will almost certainly need to pass in a bunch of dependencies such as database services, caching services and logging services.
I'm using a DI container to create objects. To get a really quick idea of what these are about you can imagine doing this:
$diContainer = new diContainer(); $userDao = $diContainer->getInstance('userDao');
Instead of this:
$configuration = new systemConfig(); $database = new mysqlDatabaseConnection($configuration); $cache = new memcacheConnection($configuration); $logger = new firebugLogger(); $userDao = new userDao($database, $cache, $logger); $userList = $userDao->getList();
The key idea is that the DI container will build the object graph for you. For each dependency needed it will go away and fetch that, building any other dependencies of those objects and so on recursively up the tree.
I'm using an annotation system to power my own DI container; making the whole process simple and configuration-light.
Putting objects to sleep
Caching is a very handy tool to improve the performance of applications. Storing objects in a cache (for example Memcache) prevents us having to go to database each time. Memcache is a very simple system; a key-value store. You give it some data (less than 1MB) and it stores it for you until you ask for it again. Storing objects is slightly more complex than simple strings; with objects you need to serialise them. Memcache actually does this for you (you don't need to call serialize() first).
However caching objects can be problematic. Whenever you start to really use the power of OOP you inevitably end up with complex object graphs. Our user object, for example, contains a userDao object. This in turn contains a database service object, a cache service object and a logging service object. Some of these objects have their own dependencies! For example the database service object contains a configuration object.
The key point here is that by default, when we serialise a user object we will be serialising all the internal properties, including all the dependencies. This is undesirable.
This is where PHP's built-in magic __sleep method comes to the rescue. Using __sleep we can tell PHP what we do want to store. Let's assume our user object has the following properties:
class user { private $dao; private $name; private $age; private $email; private $phoneNumber; private $usageHistory; }
What we'll do is tell PHP what we want to save.
class user { public function __sleep() { return array('name', 'age', 'email', 'phoneNumber'); } }
Now we can serialise and/or cache objects without the overhead of complex dependency graphs.
Waking objects up
When it comes to restoring objects, for example via Memcache::get or via unserialize(), we will end up with a user object that has a valid name, age, email and phoneNumber property. What we won't have is the DAO dependency or the usageHistory property. It is important to realise that the class constructor will not be called when the object is unserialised.
For pure simplicity we can use PHP's built-in magic __wakeup method to execute code on unserialisation.
class user { public function __wakeup() { $this->usageHistory = NULL; $diContainer = new diContainer(); $userDao = $diContainer->getInstance('userDao'); } }
This is handy for ensuring that the usageHistory property is properly set to NULL (so it will lazy-load). The problem with this approach is that we lose the Inversion of Control. Instead of injecting the dependencies, we are instead looking them up; we have a tightly coupled dependency to the DI container. One of the key points of DI is that the objects themselves shouldn't really know or care about the DI container.
When constructing objects using the DI container we never directly use the "new" keyword to create objects – instead we rely on the DI container to do this for us. This supplies all dependencies as parameters. However we can't replace the call to __wakeup; and therefore we can't inject dependencies here.
Restoring dependencies
To ensure that dependencies are restored correctly I use a "magic" method __restoreDependencies. Ok so it's not actually that magic; PHP doesn't call it automatically! However the serialisation/unserialisation in my application is localised within my cache object. Therefore what I can do is adjust my cache::get method:
class cache { public function get($key) { $value = $this->memcache->get($key); if (is_object($value) && $value instanceof cacheable) { $this->diContainer->wakeup($value); } } }
To make life easy I actually use a "cacheable" interface that objects must implement in order to be stored in cache. This formality really just ensures that no one tries to cache objects without making sure they think of the implications on dependencies. The cacheable interface simply ensures that an object has a __restoreDependencies() method.
The (bespoke) DI container has a "wakeup" method that will:
1. Call the __restoreDependencies() method injecting any required services (dependency objects)
2. If the __restoreDependencies() method returns an array of other objects, call the wakeup() method on those objects as well. This can repeat recursively if required.
The second point here ensures that we can cache an entire userList object and wake it up effectively. The userList object's __restoreDependencies() method would return an array of all user objects that need waking up.
The result is that I can cache complex object graphs without dependencies, but have these dependencies automatically "fixed" when objects are retrieved from cache. The objects themselves don't really know anything about the process. Instead all they need to do is define a simple interface which defines the required dependencies.

NormaYou're very lucky to have access to whole raw milk, I could be wrong but I don't think it is sold in NY state.
That might be the case, I just don't think many farms will sell it because they don't want the hassles which could result should someone get sick from the milk. I'm positive that if I were to go in search of raw milk, it would be a long and probably fruitless search in my home area.
looking great so far Norma!
Looking very good! I'll have to order some rennet and get some organic milk and get to it... you are making me hungry!
Looks right to me Norma! The dough is unleavened, so it's just oil, flour and water kneaded, rested and stretched. Your effort spurs me to get my cheesy act together.....
it would work fine for WFO pizza
Finally found a supplier who can sell me consumer quantities of crescenza/stracchino.....http://qualitycentre.com.au/detail.php?cat=42&id=1Convenient as they can supply San Marzano tomatoes too...But I am intrigued enough to make the cheese and see how it compares.... that's the whole point of all this malarky!
I'll give it a go Norma, as import products are terribly expensive. I can get Caputo pizza flour here but it is 5 times the price of local "equivalents". Oz groceries fluctuate seasonally like no other place (I am not originally from oz) - Roma tomatoes range from $2 to $9 per bag depending on when you get them. We make our own gelato because the commercial stuff is way overpriced, and I'm sure they will give me some ridiculous price for the stracchino.
Hi Norma. I've started sourcing the stuff for the cheese making ... Found everything except the type of milk needed.... will keep looking, there are cheese making clubs here and maybe I'll ask them. My wife makes the gelato we use a standard cuisines et freezer bowl type, usually she makes fragole, I.e. strawberry gelato. She's away now and back next week, I can pm her recipe- we no longer buy commercial ice cream!

USA TODAY Sports baseball writers Ted Berg and Bob Nightengale and Sports on Earth's Will Leitch discuss the 2013 All-Star Game.
Just two days before the All-Star Game, the rosters are getting an overhaul as inactive players bow out of the festivities.
For the National League, Mark Melancon of the Pittsburgh Pirates and San Francisco Giants closer Sergio Romo have joined Bruce Bochy's pitching staff. They will replace the Pirates' Jeff Locke and the Washington Nationals' Jordan Zimmermann for Tuesday night's mid-summer classic at New York's Citi Field.
ALL-STAR GAME: Guide to the festivities
Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman, the winner of the National League Final Vote, will be kept out of the game with a thumb injury suffered Saturday. Atlanta catcher Brian McCann has been selected to replace him.
Baltimore Orioles pitcher Chris Tillman was chosen by American League manager Jim Leyland to replace Detroit Tigers ace Justin Verlander. Oakland Athletics starter Bartolo Colon, who pitched Sunday, will be replaced by teammate Grant Balfour. Kansas City Royals closer Greg Holland will take the spot of Seattle Mariner Hisashi Iwakuma, who also started Sunday.
Another shakeup is expected later this afternoon as another All-Star — Adam Wainwright of the St. Louis Cardinals — is scheduled to pitch Sunday, rendering him unavailable for Tuesday. Pitchers who start the Sunday before the All-Star Game are technically allowed to play, but the All-Star manager must obtain permission from the player's manager to use them.
The additions of Melancon, Romo and Tillman bring the combined number of first-time All-Stars to 36, the highest ever. Melancon gives the Pittsburgh Pirates five All-Stars, marking the first time since 1972 that franchise has had that many selected. The Orioles also have five representatives for the first time since 1997 with Tillman's addition.

Reviews for this host's other properties
Petrino Guesthouse is one of the most beautiful summerlocations we ever visited.
Makis is a very kind, quiet man and helpfull host. The room with the bathroom is very nice and clean. Everyday there is a check-up and several times a week the linen is refreshed. The room has a good working airco and also a big frige to keep cool our drinks and food. We were allowed to take glasses and dishes from the breakfastroom whenever needed. The breakfast is OK, with enough variation.
Absolutely superb is the view from the balcony. It is so more beautifull than one can ever see on a picture. On the balcony is sun in the morning and shadow from noon on. The day through the wide view is changing: all the colours of the sea, the shape of the rock of Monemvasia, the boats, the bay and beaches with the restaurants on the shore, on the left and the right side... the smells reach to the balcony. (One remark: the chairs on the bacony coluld be more comfortable.)
We didn't miss a swimming pool. We don't like spending time just lying near a pool or beach. But just 500 m away from Petrino Guesthouse on the bridge towards Monemvasia-rock are a few platforms with steps (and even a warm shower) where we had wonderfull swimming times in the sea. The water is very clear. We prefer a bit of salt above chloor! And never are these swimming places crowded. Sometimes all sea was ours. From our room we had a view on the swimming place.
In twenty minutes walk from Petrino Guesthouse we arrived at Monemvasia gate. Monemvasia city is an extraordinary place. Still there is no mass tourism. Everywhere there is time for a real friendly contact with the local people. After a few days people know you and are interested in a good conversation or laugh. Once we will go back, same place, same host.

In this tutorial you will learn how to install CUBRID PHP driver on Mac OS X through PECL repository using CUBRID CCI driver.
CUBRID PHP driver has a dynamic dependency on CCI driver. We have built a custom CCI driver for Mac users. You can download either 64 or 32 bit version. Once you download it, you need to copy the contents of the /lib directory /usr/lib and the contents of /include directory into /usr/include. The following example illustrates how to extract a 64-bit version.
tar zxvf CUBRID-CCI-184.108.40.20609-x64.macosx.tar.gz sudo cp CUBRID-CCI-188.8.131.5209-x64/lib/* /usr/lib sudo cp CUBRID-CCI-18.104.22.16809-x64/include/* /usr/include
Type the following command to install the latest version of CUBRID PHP Driver from PECL repository.
sudo pecl install cubrid
If you need older version of the driver, you can indicate its exact version like:
sudo pecl install cubrid-8.4.1.0003
During the installation you will be prompted to enter "CUBRID base install dir [autodetect]:". Enter that same directory where we have extracted CUBRID CCI driver files.
CUBRID base install dir [autodetect] : /usr
Now find the php.ini file and add the following line which instructs your Web server or FastCGI Process Manager to load CUBRID extension with the next restart.
Done! Now restart your Web server to load CUBRID extension.
Create a simple test.php file with the following contents:
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
In your browser visit http://localhost/test.php. Search for "CUBRID". You should see entries like Version, CCI Version, and CUBRID Version.
If you have any questions, please ask them at our Q&A site. If any issues with installation, post on our forum.

Can I cook 2 pizzas at the same time on different racks and have them turn out like I want them?andHow do I get the entire pizza out of the deep dish pan without cutting slices? and one more I just thought of. Should I par-bake a deep dish like I did with my thin crusts?Thanks for any answers.
I have not tried deep dish yet but this brings up a question - i could fit both of my deep dish pans on the same rack... so same rack for both? or 1 lower 1 upper and swap?

For an enriched experience, we encourage you to study abroad for at least a full semester. All Macaulay students must complete at least one internship or global learning experience prior to graduation. Study abroad programs must be offered at accredited institutions of higher education that offer courses for university credit. These credits must transfer to your home campus.
How can I locate my study abroad options?
Visit your campus study abroad office or search all CUNY study abroad office websites and programs through the Online Directory of CUNY Study Abroad and International Exchange Programs. You can also participate in programs outside offered by other universities, such as SUNY. Search university websites for program information. Finally, organizations such as University Study Abroad Consortium (USAC) and SIT sponsor programs in a host of nations. You are also encouraged to read study abroad programs reviews on Abroad101.

Almost every modern personal computer has an x86 processor inside it. The programming code for x86 has transformed a lot over the years, but microprocessors still can run it thanks to operating systems by Microsoft Corp. But it looks like one of the strategic partners of Microsoft says goodbye for Windows: Intel Corp.'s Atom Z600-series "Moorestown" platform is just not designed for Windows, Intel claims.
"Moorestown was designed for low-power and small form-factors, for example, tablets and smartphones. Hence, the design decision was to use the low power interfaces for handhelds, such as low power audio, NAND for storage, etc.," said Claudine Mangano, an Intel spokeswoman.
Although Atom Z600-series system-on-chip (SoC) supports interesting new features and a multitude of technologies to trim down power consumption of core(/s), it is not enough to compete against ARM-based chips, which have even lower power consumption.
Eerier this week Intel unleashed Oak Trail, which essentially builds on Moorestown, but which was designed to support Windows, among other software solutions. The SoC is targeted at tablets as well as sleeker netbook designs.
"Moorestown was not designed to run Windows. It is designed to run flavors of Linux, including MeeGo and Android. Oak Trail builds on Moorestown. It includes Lincroft and Langwell, and then adds in some of the legacy IO to enable Windows solutions, among others," added Ms. Mangano.

What will be written about Yoko when she dies:
Dame Yoko Ono widely regarded as the true 5th Beatle has died in New York after a long illness with cancer. Paul McCartney 84 stated the world had lost a truly unique and beautiful person who had worked endlessly to bring peace to the world - he said she was an example to us all. Yoko will be remembered for her beauty, art and work towards world peace. In 1971 she co wrote Imagine aswell as inspiring many of Lennons most beautiful love songs! The Pope said Yoko worked tirelessly to bring love, peace and understanding to people accross the world & will be sadly missed....She was an ambassador for all of what is good! He called for a 5 minute silence to be held in her honor during his Sunday prayers. After Yoko there are now only 2 surviving Beatles.

Abolition of Early Parole Act
Government Orders
1:55 p.m.
Paul Szabo Mississauga South, ON
Mr. Speaker, the member made some comments about who supported what. The House has not yet had a vote on the bill. The Liberals certainly did oppose the closure motion because it stole from parliamentarians the right to do their job.
The member also referred to the case of Paul Coffin who, in 2005, pled guilty to some 15 charges of defrauding the federal government of $1.5 million. There was restitution of $1 million.
Why did the Crown at the time only press for three of the charges and settled on two years less a day? Maybe the problem will not be solved by Bill C-59. Maybe the problem would be solved if we asked why the Crown did not proceed with the serious charges that were originally raised. Does the member have an answer for that?
Abolition of Early Parole Act
Government Orders
1:55 p.m.
Pierre Paquette Joliette, QC
Mr. Speaker, I understood the Liberal member. Although the Liberals opposed the quick passage of this bill, I hope that they will not oppose passing Bill C-59. I could not get a very clear answer on this from the Liberal Party House leader, but I hope that all members agree on this issue.
As I mentioned, abolishing parole after one-sixth of the sentence is served is just one change that needs to be made to our approach to economic crimes, because the traditional approach is not good enough. We have had some success, but too often, unfortunately, we discover the fraudsters only once the fraud has been carried out.
I believe that police forces need the assistance of accounting experts and that prosecutors need more solid evidence to be able to back up some charges. In the case of Mr. Coffin, the evidence that prosecutors had for some charges was perhaps not enough. As I was saying, I am not an expert in this area, but it is very clear that we need a different approach to economic crimes than the one we have now, which is based far too much on a world that did not have the information technologies we have today.

Mr. Speaker, last week Red Deer said goodbye to our former mayor and councillor Roy McGregor, who passed away at the age of 87.
Mr. McGregor served as mayor of Red Deer from 1974 to 1977. He also served five terms as a city councillor until 1992. He played a significant role in Red Deer's development.
However, Roy will most likely be remembered more for what he did outside of council chambers as a volunteer.
In 1940, he joined the Royal Canadian Navy and served on a corvette between St. John's, Newfoundland and Londonderry, Ireland. After the war, he worked for the Canadian Pacific Railway, where he lost his leg in a train accident.
In addition, to being a member and volunteer of the legion, Roy was president of the Rotary Club and president of the Kinsmen Club of Red Deer. He received the Alberta Centennial Medal in 2005 for his service and dedication to the community.
On behalf of the people of Red Deer, we thank him for his service, honour his memory and extend our condolences to the McGregor family.

Mr. Speaker, Canadians are growing increasingly concerned about the Conservatives law and order agenda, which is tough on taxpayers and irresponsible on crime. A case in point is Bill C-5, which deals with the transfer of Canadians incarcerated in foreign prisons back into Canadian prisons.
There are good reasons to favour such transfers. Canadians incarcerated abroad, who are not transferred to a Canadian prison prior to the completion of their foreign sentence, will have the right to freely walk back into Canada without a Canadian criminal record or any constraints placed upon them by the Canadian parole system. This is most certainly not the way to protect Canadians.
Yet the Conservatives are trying to give their minister absolute dictatorial powers to refuse such transfers. When asked in the House of Commons about such problems, the minister simply attacked the Liberal Party for allegedly not protecting Canadian victims. However, there are no Canadian victims involved, as we are talking about Canadians incarcerated abroad for crimes committed in foreign countries.
International Pediatric Cancer Awareness Day

Meili Faille Vaudreuil—Soulanges, QC
Mr. Speaker, the diagnosis of childhood cancer is a significant source of stress for parents. As the organization Leucan has noted: "To deal with the requirements of the hospital environment and support their child, parents must take important decisions, including the decision to take an employment leave." The length of treatment and an unclear prognosis can turn acute stress into chronic stress. It becomes nearly impossible to handle professional or financial difficulties.
As a modern, empathetic society, it is our responsibility to ensure that these parents have an environment in which they can concentrate solely on their child's recovery.
On International Pediatric Cancer Awareness Day, it is important to take action to help parents with a child suffering from a serious illness so that they benefit from better support, such as compassionate care leave, which the Bloc Québécois has been calling for.
Black History Month

Joe Comartin Windsor—Tecumseh, ON
Mr. Speaker, as we know, February is Black History Month, the month when we officially recognize the rich and diverse history of Canadians of black heritage.
Throughout Windsor and Essex county, it is quite well known that we were a major terminus of the underground railway for those fleeing slavery in the United States. However, in many other communities across the country there is still little knowledge of black Canadian history.
In the areas of science, medicine, politics and the law, black Canadians have often, in the face of opposition and injustice, made vital contributions to our national mosaic. I take a measure of community and professional pride in the fact that the first Canadian-born black lawyer, Delos Rogest Davis, established a law office in Windsor and his great grandson, Lloyd Dean, a University of Windsor alumnus, is now a judge in the Ontario Court of Justice.
I would encourage my colleagues to take the rest of the month to familiarize themselves with black history, not only in their individual communities but throughout Canada. I would also encourage all Canadians to become more knowledgeable of the significant contributions of the black community.

Daryl Kramp Prince Edward—Hastings, ON
Mr. Speaker, throughout my riding of Prince Edward—Hastings, we are proud of the many dedicated and talented producers of maple syrup. This liquid gold is produced in a narrow time frame, when winter is growing weak and spring has not yet blossomed.
While production methods have been improved, the time-honoured process of collecting the sap and distilling it without any chemical agents or preservatives is truly a labour of love. This art form is governed by time, weather, years of experience and, of course, a talented set of taste buds.
One such producer, my friend and neighbour, Harry Dennis, and his family of Three Maples Farm overcame the adversity of having their sugar shack destroyed by fire. With support from many, perseverance and dedication, they rebuilt the sugar shack.
Their hard work and passion was rewarded when they won first place in the light category of the North American Maple Syrup Council. I offer my sincere congratulations.
With the sap now running, I would tell Harry and Joel to empty the lines, stoke that fire and taste that sweet nectar of the gods.

Mr. Speaker, the entire Francophonie is in mourning. Jean-Marc Léger, one of the architects of the strong bond that unites French-speaking countries, passed away on Sunday. Mr. Léger was a veteran journalist, first with La Presse and then as an editorial writer with Le Devoir, and he laid the cornerstone for what would become la Francophonie when he founded the Agence de coopération culturelle et technique des pays de langue française, for which he served as the first secretary following the conference in Niamey.
All of his hard work finally paid off at the first Francophonie summit in 1986. The French language was always at the heart of everything Mr. Léger did. He was also the first director of the Office de la langue française du Québec beginning in 1961 and received the Georges-Émile Lapalme award in 2005.
On behalf of all of my colleagues in this House, I would like to offer my sincere condolences to his family and loved ones.

Mr. Speaker, journalist and author Jean-Marc Léger died yesterday at age 84 following a lengthy illness.
Jean-Marc Léger was born in Montreal and began his career as a journalist at the age of 24, working at the news desk of La Presse from 1951 to 1956 and then at Le Devoir from 1957 to 1962.
Mr. Léger was also involved in promoting the French language on the international stage, and he is considered one of the founding fathers of the International Organization of La Francophonie. In 1978, Mr. Léger became Quebec's delegate general in Brussels, and twice in the 1980s, he was an assistant deputy minister. He received a number of other distinctions, including the Ordre national du Québec and the Légion d'honneur de la France.
Today we honour the life of a journalist, a writer and the father of la Francophonie.

Mr. Speaker, it is with sadness that we learned of the death of Jean-Marc Léger.
With degrees in law, social science and history, he began his career as a journalist first at La Presse and then at Le Devoir. He went on to become the first director of Quebec's Office de la langue française and the founder and first secretary general of what is now known as the Agence universitaire de la Francophonie. He was also a pioneer in what is today known as the Organisation internationale de la Francophonie. He worked for the Government of Quebec as the assistant deputy minister of education and of foreign relations, and as the commissioner general of La Francophonie.
Throughout his career, and particularly as a writer, Jean-Marc Léger was a strong advocate of the French language and culture. He did much to help Africa. He was also a staunch sovereignist.
On behalf of the Bloc Québécois, I would like to offer our sincere condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of this great man who left his mark on Quebec.

Mr. Speaker, today in the special legislative committee dedicated to Bill C-32, we heard from groups representing students from colleges and universities. We also heard from the Canadian Museums Association.
The message we heard very clearly was that Bill C-32 was indeed balanced. We also heard that the Bill C-32 opened up opportunities for the future for Canada's economy, for our students, for our places of higher learning and for industry.
My question for opposition members is very simple. Why are they obstructing and delaying Bill C-32 at committee? Why are we not getting the additional meetings we need for the consideration of the bill so we can return it to the House and open up opportunities for Canada? Why are they holding up protections for creators? Why are they holding back Canada's digital economy?

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to speak on the horrendous events that took place on February 6 in Indonesia.
Members of the Ahmadiyya Jamaat were publicly killed in the streets and the police failed to protect them. The Ahmadiyya community in Indonesia was established in 1926 and was formally recognized by the government in 1953.
The Ahmadiyyas espouse the Islamic ethics of tolerance, brotherhood, generosity and assistance to the poor and the needy. Indonesia has long embodied the philosophy of allowing different interpretations of Islam.
Prophet Muhammad viewed differences of opinion as a blessing from God. Islam espouses the cosmopolitan ethic: respect among peoples of all faiths and no faith, respect for the dignity of the human person without any discrimination.
I therefore urge the Canadian government to seek assurance from the Indonesian government that it will not allow radicals to take over the country's agenda and that it will ensure protection of all minorities.

Mr. Speaker, the leader of the Liberal Party has a plan to raise taxes. He is openly and unambiguously calling for a $6 billion tax increase, not a tax freeze but a tax hike.
The Liberal leader is demanding that his new tax hike be included in the next budget. If we do not support his plan to hike taxes, he will vote against the budget to force an election that Canadians do not want.
His reckless and dangerous tax hike proposal will stop our recovery in its tracks and it will hurt job creation. No wonder he is proud to call himself a "tax and spend" Liberal.
Canada's continued job growth shows our economic action plan and our low tax agenda are achieving positive results for Canadian families.
Our government believes in keeping taxes low. We need to continue with our low tax plan to create jobs, not the Liberal leader's high tax agenda, which will stall our job recovery, kill jobs and set hard-working families back.

Mr. Speaker, the Wawa Rotary Club is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. I was fortunate enough to join its members last weekend as they hosted close to 100 youth as part of the Rotary International Youth Exchange.
The Wawa chapter is part of International District 6290, which also includes a club in Blind River and joins District 7010 with clubs in Elliot Lake, Chapleau, Kapuskasing, Gore Bay and Hearst, in serving the communities of Algoma—Manitoulin—Kapuskasing.
Rotarians are involved with programs that deliver on both the local and international levels, as exemplified by their campaign to eradicate polio. Their motto is "Service Above Self", something I was able to witness first-hand.
The young people who came to Wawa from all over the world spent a day doing leadership training before taking part in a "Fun in the Snow" day, where many were able to experience things like snowshoeing and ice fishing for the first time.
Community service is important everywhere, but in small-town northern Ontario, it is the bedrock these places are built on. I salute the Wawa Rotary Club and all volunteer groups in the north for doing important work and bringing the communities closer in the process.

Mr. Speaker, on Monday, Iranians in Tehran gathered in the thousands in support of pro-democracy protests in Egypt. Regrettably, approximately 10,000 Iranian security force members used tear gas, batons and pepper spray against those assembled.
What is hypocritical is the support the Iranian regime gave to the democratic movement in Egypt, yet the same regime uses violence to suppress the same demands in Iran.
Canada calls upon the Iranian authorities to allow for peaceful protests and to set free any protestors who may have been imprisoned.
We are also deeply disturbed by calls from Iranian officials for the execution of protestors.
Canada believes that freedom of expression and freedom of assembly are universal rights. Iranian citizens should be free to express their political views and affiliations without fear of punishment or imprisonment.

CSU faculty to be honored Jan. 7-8 for outstanding research, education, service to students
Two explorers of life at the molecular level one who searches for novel antibiotics and another who tracks the transport of brain signals through membranes will be honored for outstanding contributions to biotechnology research and education Saturday, Jan. 8, at the California State University 23rd Annual Biotechnology Symposium in Orange County.
Howard Xu, a professor of microbiology at California State University, Los Angeles, will receive the Anthony Andreoli Faculty Service Award, which recognizes outstanding contributions to the development of biotechnology in the CSU. An expert in antibacterial drug discovery, clinical microbiology, and bacterial genomics, Xu has been integral to the CSU's development of a Professional Science Masters' program in biotechnology.
According to Susan Baxter, executive director of the CSU Program for Education and Research in Biotechnology (CSUPERB), "Dr. Xu came to CSU with experience in the biotechnology industry, and he has inspired students to pursue life sciences careers, as well as made outstanding contributions to the development of state-of-the-art curriculum. He has also strengthened working partnerships between Cal State Los Angeles, nearby CSU campuses, and companies in the region."
CSUPERB, the symposium's organizer, will present its Faculty Research Award—recognizing outstanding scientific achievement in the life sciences—to Sepehr Eskandari, a biology professor at Cal Poly Pomona.
Eskandari examines critical transport molecules of the brain, particularly those involved in regulating signals by neurotransmitters. Supported by more than $2.6 million in grants from the National Institutes of Health since 2001, his research team has sought to examine transporter structures and their role in strokes and epileptic seizures, with an eye on drug interactions and potential treatments.
"Professor Eskandari represents the outstanding teacher-scholars we have within the CSU," said Baxter. "He is an incredibly smart, hard-working and creative scientist who has built an excellent publication record and a sustained, high level of grant funding, allowing him to involve Cal Poly Pomona students in his research program."
Pete Arnold, a candidate for a master's degree in biology at Sonoma State, will receive the Crellin Pauling Student Teaching Award, which cites outstanding student teaching in a CSU biotechnology program. Arnold serves as a teaching assistant in the Biochemical Methods Laboratory at Sonoma State. He is also a laboratory instructional assistant in the Life Sciences department at Santa Rosa Junior College.
The awards to Xu and Eskandari include a $1000 prize; Arnold will receive $750.
CSUPERB's Glenn Nagel Undergraduate Research Award and Don Eden Graduate Student Research Award—each with a $1,750 prize—will be announced at the symposium.
Eleven undergraduates, representing seven CSU campuses, will also be honored at the symposium as Howell-CSUPERB Research Scholars, each receiving a $3,000 award supported by the Doris A. Howell Foundation for Women's Health Research.

PRINCESS ANNE - (Feb. 11, 2011) – Dr. Ellis B. Beteck is the new dean of library services at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore.
Early in his career, Beteck served as the coordinator of public services at the Frederick Douglass Library on campus for six years. But he decided to leave the university so he could gain more experience in the field.
"Now, I'm back at UMES with a lot of experience and enthusiasm," he said. "I'm excited to take the library to the next level."
Beteck is the former interim director of the Louis Stokes Health Sciences Library at Howard University in Washington, D.C. There, he was responsible for providing vision and strategic leadership for the development of innovative programs to support the research, teaching and service mission of the Division of Health Sciences.
Beteck also spent time at the U.S. Agency for International Development's library as its deputy manager.
"Librarianship involves organization, research, instruction, service and lifelong learning – attributes that I find in my personality," he said. "Over the years, I've found that librarianship as a career was a perfect fit for me and I have never looked back."
Beteck – who grew up in Mamfe, Republic of Cameroon, in Africa – completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Calabar in southeastern Nigeria, before earning a Master of Public Administration at Georgia College in Milledgeville, Ga. Afterward, he enrolled at Clark Atlanta University, where he earned a Master of Science in library and information studies and a doctorate in international affairs and development.
An accredited member of the American Library Association, Beteck has more than 17 years of professional experience in library services. He has contributed to the profession as a member of the Association of Academic Health Sciences Libraries' assessment and statistics committee and through his service as a contributing selector to Doody's Core Titles in the Health Sciences for the past seven years.
As dean of library sciences at UMES, Beteck is responsible for strategic planning for the library, ensuring Frederick Douglass Library provides resources and services, which support the university's educational, research, cultural and public service objectives.
"Keeping up with the emerging technology in libraries is one of my most critical challenges," he said. "I intend to identify and develop information technologies and integrate those technologies with traditional library collections and services."
Beteck also intends to provide the necessary leadership for significant library fundraising initiatives. He says he wants to see an increase in electronic resources at the library.
"It will be especially useful for those who may not have the time to come in or just prefer working from home or offices," he said. "I want to make sure the UMES community is aware of all the library has to offer."

Hi all,
I'd like to plan in such a way that when the new tea ia available next spring, that I'll be able to get some and actually enjoy it at the same time, w/o having to go through already made reserves. Best way would be to always order only but small quantities, although when I'm making orders, I tend to order several teas at a time, if only to save on post.
So, is there a list somewhere that shows the availability dates of various teas at spring time ? I'm interested in Japanese greens, and Chinese greens and oolongs. I'd like to know for instance which tea is just about always the first available and at what date it is found by the vendors.
I started drinking good quality tea earlier this year so I do not know how the availability of teas unfolds from spring. Or is it starting from March or earlier ? Is there a delay before the new teas makes it to the vendors for reselling ?
Thanks for any info, cheers.
