As the United States and nations worldwide work to build their economies within the context of the global marketplace, the ability to innovate is the most basic and essential underpinning. As I travel worldwide or meet with foreign guests in Washington, D.C., one of the most common questions for me is to describe the U.S. system which leads to innovation. What are the policies which support innovation and what are the practices on the ground which propel innovation? My response always touches on the need to invest in education and scientific research, to value and protect intellectual property rights, and to support a system which allows failures while celebrating success, which seeds promising ideas with funds, and which nurtures future innovators.
If the fundamentals are right, innovation proceeds, economies grow and solutions to tough problems, including energy and food security, improved health and protected environments, are all the likelier to be identified. One of the fundamentals that we need to get right is to inspire young people toward careers in science and technology then to support their creative initiatives in science and technology through all means possible.
Yesterday, I heard Dr. Gro Harlem Brundtland echo these very sentiments as part of her acceptance speech of the Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Council on Science for the Environment. As the most recognized champion for the concept of "sustainable development," Dr. Brundtland, the former Prime Minister of Norway and Director-General of the World Health Organization, articulated the critical need for youth engagement in science and technology as we work toward a sustainable future. She called on all of us to support what she called the "Innovation Generation," those talented individuals who, if inspired and supported with adequate funds, will create the solutions we need to protect the planet while still growing economies.
Two programs supported by the Department of State, USAID, and private sector partners demonstrate our support for novel approaches on innovation. The LAUNCH program is an open competition which invites entrepreneurs to propose new products or solutions for pressing problems, including on global health and new energy sources. Those with the best ideas are mentored through on-line and other means toward product development and patenting.
The Global Innovation in Science and Technology (GIST) program, funded by the Department of State's Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs, focuses on building young scientist entrepreneurship capacity in 43 countries of significant Muslim population. Training and mentorship are the core of GIST activities. At the second Global Entrepreneurship Summit held December 2011 in Istanbul, Turkey, 25 teams of entrepreneurs were connected with Silicon Valley mentors before pitching their ideas to a panel judges. These young entrepreneurs were selected as part of the GIST Technology Idea competition which asked the public through YouTube to vote on submitted video pitches. $60,000 in prizes and trips to the United States to meet with investors and business leaders were awarded to the top finishers.
Dr. Brundtland's excitement for the""Innovation Generation" is a clarion call for all of us working to use science for diplomacy. The Innovation Generation concept is a powerful conversation starter with nations worldwide on how a collective effort could be imagined to spark youth involvement in science and solutions for the future. It reminds us that our programs are an important element of support for the Innovation Generation, but that we can still do so much more. I look forward to continuing the conversation to determine ways that we can do more across the globe to support the "Innovation Generation."

Alien by Mungler is one of the best fragrances ever made, I smell wonderful in it and my husband loves it on me. It have a very longevity for being an edt version but it still fresher and smells good. I do enjoy the scent more because it a lighter version of Alien in the purple bottle. This was the summer edition and I wear it all year long. All the Aliens are great and you cannot go wrong with any of them. Fragrancenet has been wonderful to work with and always has very kind customer care people. They always have a discount and out of the perfume companies online this one is my favorite. This is real perfume and buying it from the Mungler website is way too expensive. Thanks fragancenet!!!! love ya!

anyone else see that the Cavs are 11-1 now in games where they attempt less than 15 threes? I understand that if they are down big they would attempt more threes (and lose more of those games) and I also understand that they are going to see better interior D against good teams (hence shooting more threes and losing more of those games), but seeing that column made me think about it and do some rudimentary research. Here are the facts:
The Cavs are 24th in the NBA in 3pt %. The Cavs are 5th in the league in attempts! Doesn't take a genius to see a problem. Also, at times the Cavs seem to get undisciplined, run down the court and pop a quick 3 with 15 seconds remaining and a look at the basket that is less than ideal. Am I just crazy or do you guys notice this happening from time to time also?
Also, Marshall was pretty damn effective last night and surprise, he was doing it driving on the baseline. i would LOVE to see more of that kind of thing. Living and dying by the 3 point arc works OK for the Buckeyes, but hell they have 2 players shooting ~50% from 3 and the team average is ~42.1%. FYI, the Cavs 3pt % is 33.7%.

Surf and Turf Burgers
- Burgers:
- 2 pounds medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 cups panko
- 3 large eggs, beaten
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce
- 1 teaspoon chopped garlic
- 2 teaspoons seafood seasoning (recommended: Old Bay)
- 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh chives
- 1 jalapeno, chopped, seeds optional
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- Olive oil, to moisten
- Canola oil, for frying

- 8 slices cooked good quality bacon, cut in half
- Bibb lettuce leaves, for garnish
- Lemon Caper Butter:
- 1 stick unsalted butter
- 1 lemon, juiced and zested

For the burgers: Divide the shrimp in half. Coarsely chop one half and set aside. Place the remaining shrimp into the bowl of a food processor and pulse 5 times.
In a large bowl, mix together the panko, eggs, hot sauce, garlic, seafood seasoning, and black pepper. Mix in the pureed shrimp, parsley, chives, jalapenos, and green onions. Add the coarsely chopped shrimp and stir to combine. To moisten the mix a bit more, add some olive oil. Form the mixture into 8 patties and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Chill for 20 minutes in the freezer or 2 hours in the fridge.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, add the canola oil to generously cover the bottom of the pan. Once the oil is hot, fry 4 burgers at a time, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and cover with foil. Repeat with the remaining 4 burgers.
For the butter: In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the butter, lemon juice and zest, and capers. Cook until melted, about 2 minutes.
To build the burgers, brush the buns with butter and lay the patties on the bottom of the hamburger bun. Top with bacon pieces and lettuce. Serve immediately.

Ive been wondering about granite myself, as i do work fabbing and installing granite countertops etc, ive got several scraps that would be able to be cut to fit an oven easy enough. some do come presealed on the shiny side, but most, the shine is just from being polished with superfine diamond polishing pads. so as long as i know there are no chemical sealers, is the main issue still a chemical release from the stone? or just danger of the stone breaking during cooking?i do have a, now broken, pizza stone that i cook on, but would like to be able to use the granite i have if its not harmful or dangerous. yes i know it is not ideal, but is it really bad? thanks.
We are in the tile business and we use 3/8 honed limestone in our oven. I put 2 12" tiles and had to notch them to fit.Also I have access to 3cm soapstone that can usually be found in the scrap heap of a stone fabricator.Good thermal qualitiesgood luck
Ian, From what I've read scattered around the net, Granite is a bad to cook with, especially if its glazed as the glaze supposedly contains and releases lead when heated up.
HI Brian what is a 17"x17" pc of soapstone worth Chet
http://granitepizzastones.com/The net is full of people spreading misinformation.

Marinara is very simple, and has three ingredients: beautiful, ripe tomatoes, garlic and oil. If you normally spend $4 for a can of premade sauce, try buying, instead, a DOP Can of San Marzano whole tomatoes. Crush the tomatoes with your hands. Add a generous swirl of oil to a pan, and toast the sliced garlic. Add the tomatoes and simmer for 5-7 minutes.If you choose, some fresh basil could accompany the final product just before serving. Dried herbs are an Italian-American embellishment, as well as any other ingredients. This was done to compensate for the bitterness of the canned tomatoes they found here in the US, and the unavailability of fresh herbs all year round. John

Great Golf Courses: Kinderlou Forest Golf Club
Enchanting landscapes and visionary technology make this Georgia course a gem.
The elegant, naturally flowing Kinderlou Forest Golf Club might be the game's ultimate drive-by experience. Located in Valdosta, Georgia, it sits 15 miles north of the Florida border astride Interstate 75, one of the nation's busiest highways. It's too bad more snowbirds don't stop en route at this Davis Love III-designed gem.
They're missing the home of one of the favorite events on the PGA Tour's Web.Com Tour—the South Georgia Classic each April. That's about the only time when par-72 Kinderlou Forest plays to its maximum length and strength of 7,781 yards. Otherwise, members and guests get to enjoy it as a more manageable test of anywhere from 7,196 to 5,328 yards.
The beauty of the place is that the turf is kept firm and fast. Love's design channels such classic influences as Donald Ross and Seth Raynor to make ground game approach angles and imaginative recovery around greens essential to getting around. And the holes themselves weave through enchanting native landscapes, everything from pine forest to open meadowland and gnarly ravines.
The golf course is part of an elegant 5,000-acre residential land plan that includes a modest but comfortable clubhouse, a swimming pool, hiking and horse trails, pond fishing and upscale dining. There are also high-tech corporate meeting rooms and guest accommodations on site for those who prefer something cozier than the property's Clarion Inn and Conference Center three miles away at the interstate.
Kinderlou Forest is one of many community-based efforts in Valdosta undertaken by the Langdale Co., a wood products and building materials firm with deep roots in the region. The company's commitment to environmental balance is evident in the extensive natural areas on the golf course. The result is a fascinating combination of traditional golf, classic Southern graciousness, visionary technology and lots of fun.
Kinderlou Forest Golf Club, Valdosta, Georgia. For information, call (229) 219-2300 or visit kinderlou.com.
Valdosta Regional Airport in Valdosta, Georgia, is 10 miles southeast of the golf course and has an 8,000-foot main runway.
Quitman Brooks County Airport in Quitman, Georgia, is 14 miles west of the course and has a 5,000-foot runway.

The term "trap star" may be thrown around regularly in electronic music circles, but after winning a nationwide campus DJ competition, Flaxo—also known on campus as Nick Perloff, CC '16—may have become one.
The prospective economics major was crowned champion of the first-ever Campus DJ competition at the end of June, where his unique brand of "emotional trap" defeated nine other DJs in a tournament-style battle at the Avalon nightclub in Los Angeles. His victory came with a 2013 Mini Cooper Countryman, a touring deal with Live Nation, and a dedicated feed on music app Dubbler, among other prizes.
For Perloff, who had only played two previous shows, the win affirmed his ability in something he got involved in by chance. The San Francisco native had played guitar and sung in various bands in his early teens, fell in love with beats and bass after accidentally wandering into a dance tent at a local music festival.
"I was blown away by the energy of the environment and the way people interacted with it," Perloff said. "Being in that tent and seeing those DJs was a totally new sphere."
Intrigued by the new sound he'd discovered, he started researching electronic music and began to make "weird little mashups" on GarageBand, as he put it. What started as a hobby became more and more consuming, until it practically became a full-time job. With the win in June, the time and effort put into making the Flaxo project a reality paid off. And as his Facebook and Soundcloud pages rapidly picked up fans and tracks—including his remix of Kendrick Lamar's "Swimming Pools"—gained popularity, the lords of the trap scene began to take notice.
"At first, people would message me and post on the Flaxo wall saying, 'So-and-so just played your song,'" Perloff said. "I felt that was a sign for me to reach out to them."
The people playing his music included well-known electronic dance music artists like Baauer (of "Harlem Shake" fame), Krewella, and recent Bacchanal performers Flosstradamus. While not all of them were as communicative as the "Harlem Shake" hitmaker—who chatted with Perloff and introduced him to other major players in the scene—they were aware of Flaxo as a force to be reckoned with.
Despite his recent success, it took years of work before Perloff was able to translate his unique sound to a live setting, and he's still looking for the most honest and expressive way of doing so. Over the course of the last year, he broke down original tracks and remixes so that they could be performed live in a way that felt spontaneous and exciting, while taking notes from influential DJs' performance styles.
Though the transition from bedroom producer to onstage powerhouse has been a long one, for Perloff, as long as he creates an authentic experience for his fans, it's worth it, he said—more so if he can foster a genuine connection with his fan base. Whether he's responding to questions about his work or releasing exclusive tracks to celebrate the recent milestone of 10,000 Facebook followers, Perloff strives to make Flaxo one of the most approachable DJs in the game.
"There are people at my level who have either their manager or a social media publicist who communicate with their fans. I think that's silly for me, because I have the time and energy to respond to pretty much anybody who asks genuine questions," he said. "Why not take the time to be honest with them? My social media presence is mediated by no one but me and that generates a lot of enthusiasm."
Next up for Perloff is his first-ever collaboration with singers to create something distinct from the generic electronic pop vocal.
After trawling SoundCloud for artists, Perloff came across a South African indie folk singer, with whom he's working on his most experimental music yet. It's more expressive and less suited to the dancefloor than previous work, but according to Perloff, expanding one's palate is where the innovation lies. Underground producers like Groundislava and Cashmere Cat have opened the floodgates for dance music based around melody and timbre rather than the same uplifting chord progression.
That's not to say that he's forsaken his dance music roots. Collaboration with Dutch trio Yellow Claw is also in the works, which Perloff described as "upbeat Moombahton/Latin flair dance music"—think Diplo's "Express Yourself," with an grimy Amsterdam vibe.
By September, Perloff hopes to have an EP of original material available, while those craving for a live fix will be able to catch Flaxo on tour. Along with opening for other acts, he'll be performing at college campuses across the country, with a few dates in New York along the way.
"I don't need to be the Morningsiders, but I'd like to be able to play at small things where people are super enthused about the music," Perloff said. "New York and Columbia especially generate little pockets of people who are open and excited about new music, and I love that."
An earlier version of this article incorrectly identified Low End Theory as an underground producer. It is an experimental club night held at a Los Angeles night club. Spectator regrets the error.

Charcoal-Grilled Turkey With Fresh Herb Butter
Author: Chris Lilly, 10 time world champion pitmaster (Big Bob Gibson BBQ, Decatur, Alabama); courtesy of Kingsford
Photo courtesy of Kingsford
1 whole turkey (12 pounds)
Extra virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
Coarse ground black pepper
Fresh Herb Butter
1 cup (2 sticks) butter
1/3 cup chopped Italian parsley
1/3 cup chopped green onion tops
2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1 1/2 teaspoon celery salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 cups turkey stock (as directed)
2 tablespoons water
4 teaspoons cornstarch
Place the whole turkey breast side down on a cutting board. Remove the neck and giblets and set aside to make the turkey stock. With a sharp knife or a pair of kitchen shears, cut the turkey down each side of the backbone, removing it completely. Open the turkey and press it flat on the cutting board. Using a sharp knife, loosen the breast bone from between the turkey breasts and remove it with your fingers. It is a dark colored bone that is often called a keel bone because of its shape. This will enable the turkey to open completely flat. Apply a light coat of olive oil to the turkey skin and liberally season the skin with kosher salt and black pepper.
Build a charcoal fire for direct grilling. The heat over the coals should be hot, (approximately 450 to 500˚F).
Melt the butter in a medium sauce pan. Add the remaining fresh herb butter ingredients, mix well, and keep warm until needed.
To make turkey stock, add 3 1/2 cups water, 1 3/4 teaspoons salt, turkey neck and giblets to a medium sauce pan. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 1 ½ hours.
Place the butterflied turkey directly over the coals, skin side down, and baste with the fresh herb butter. Grill the turkey for 5-7 minutes or until the skin starts to turn golden brown and begins to crisp. Transfer the turkey to a 10"x10" baking dish skin side up, place it back on the grill, and baste with fresh herb butter. Cover the grill and close the air dampers reducing the cooking temperature to 350 degrees. Cook for 2 1/2 hours basting every hour with the remaining fresh herb butter. The internal temperature of turkey thigh should reach 175-180˚F while the breast meat should reach 160-165˚F. Remove the turkey from the grill, cover it with foil, and let it rest for 15 minutes prior to carving.
To make the gravy, scarp all of the drippings and liquid from the bottom of the roasting pan into a small bowl. Skim the grease from the top of the liquid. Pour the seasoned liquid, about 3/4 cup, into a small sauce pan. In a small bowl, whisk the 2 tablespoons water with the cornstarch until smooth. Add the cornstarch slurry and 2 cups of the pre-made turkey broth to the sauce pan and heat. Serve drizzled over the turkey or on the side as table gravy.
Serves: 10
Roasted Cauliflower
Author: Russ Faulk, Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet
1 large head of fresh cauliflower
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
1/2 cup vegetable stock
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 cups alder wood chips, soaked
Prepare the grill for indirect cooking at 350 to 375°F.
Remove the leaves and most of the stems from the cauliflower. Cut the florets into bite-sized pieces. Toss the cauliflower with the olive oil, salt and pepper.
Spread the cauliflower into a single layer on a grill-safe baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the indirect cooking zone. Add the alder wood chips for smoke (learn about smoking techniques) and roast with the hood closed for about 60 minutes total, turning once, until the cauliflower is well-browned (you almost can't over do it short of burning the cauliflower).
With about 20 minutes remaining, place the vegetable stock in a medium saucepan. Reduce over medium heat, stirring frequently, until thick. Whisk in the butter until melted and thoroughly combined. Keep warm.
Remove the cauliflower from the grill once fully-cooked and toss with the reduced vegetable stock. Serve immediately.
Note: For roasting, you will need a cookie sheet or half-sheet baking sheet that is suitable for the grill. Even though we are cooking at medium temperatures, it is advisable to use cookie sheets suitable for at least 500°F maximum temperatures. Some non-stick coatings should not be used at these temperatures. I use a Silpat liner in my baking sheets that is suitable for use up to 480°F.
Serves 4
Grill-Roasted Sweet Potato Fries with Maple Soy Glaze
Author: Russ Faulk, Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet
For the Sweet Potato Fries:
2 sweet potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 8 wedges each
Extra virgin olive oil
Fine sea salt
For the Maple Soy Glaze:
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1/2 cup maple syrup
Prepare the grill for indirect cooking at 350° to 400°F.
Brush the sweet potato wedges on all sides with olive oil and then sprinkle with salt. Transfer the wedges to the grill, placing them skin-side down in the indirect cooking zone. Cook with the hood closed, undisturbed for about 30 minutes. Check for a crisp outer layer and tender insides. Cook for up to 15 minutes more if necessary.
While the potatoes are cooking, reduce the soy sauce in an 8-inch skillet over medium heat until thickened, about 10 minutes. Stir frequently and be very careful not to burn the sauce. Stir in the brown sugar until dissolved. Return to a simmer and stir in the maple syrup. Return to a simmer and then remove from the heat. Set aside and allow to cool and thicken.
Remove the potatoes from the grill and transfer to a serving dish or individual plates. Drizzle with the maple soy glaze.
Serves 4
Savory Squash Pie with Tart Apples and Sweet Onion
Author: Russ Faulk, Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet
1 whole large acorn squash
2 9-inch rolled frozen pie crusts, such as Pillsbury
2 cups grated manchego cheese
2 granny smith apples, cored and thinly sliced (skins left on)
1 cup sweet onion, cut into quarters and then thinly sliced
1 cup dried cranberries
3 eggs
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt or sea salt
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 6 pieces
2 cups alder wood chips, soaked
Prepare the grill for indirect cooking at 350 to 375°F.
Place the whole squash in the indirect zone with the hood closed. Cook until softened, about 45 minutes, turning once. Remove from the grill and allow to cool. You may also choose to roast the squash in an oven at the same temperature without any appreciable difference in flavor. The squash may be roasted up to an hour in advance of the rest of the pie preparation.
Cut the squash in half. Remove and discard the seeds. Remove all of the flesh from the shells and discard the shells. Slice the squash about 1/4" thick.
Line a 9-inch cast iron skillet or heavy ceramic pie plate with the bottom pie crust. Trim off any excess at the skillet's edge. Proceed to fill the pie, beginning with a thin layer of manchego cheese, followed by thin layers of apples, onions, squash and dried cranberries, using about 1/3 of each for each layer. Repeat the layering two more times. The pie should be over-filled and quite tall. The filling will settle when baked.
Whisk together 2 of the eggs with the cream, sugar, salt and pepper. Pour over the pie filling. Add the pieces of butter to the top. Lay on the top pie crust. Trim off the excess and crimp the edges all around. Cut slits into the top to vent steam. Place the skillet or pie plate on a large sheet of aluminum foil. Bring the foil up to loosely wrap the edges of the pie and help prevent the perimeter of the crust from overcooking.
Place the pie in the indirect cooking zone. Add the alder wood chips for smoke (learn about smoking techniques) and bake the pie with the hood closed for 90 minutes total, turning the pie every 30 minutes for more even baking. With 20 to 30 minutes remaining, pull the foil back away from the edges. Beat the last egg and brush about half of it onto the top pie crust and continue baking for a perfectly golden presentation.
Serve warm as a side dish.

Just about everything I've tasted with any age that's from Mengsong, Banzhang, Bulang, Nannuo seems to be more dramatically woody than most things east of the Lancang. Essentially, the *only* leaves east of the river that really ages past mushrooms/grains/other intermediate soft flavors are from Youle and Guafengzhai. At least with any speed. Everything west of the river also ages with more aged sweet sensation and stronger aromas than anything east of the river. All of the aged Banzhang I've had were much nicer aged flavors than aged Yiwu, and some of them had killer aromas. At the end of the day, virtually the *only* aged Yiwu that has blown me away in any real sense is the YangQingHao '04. I wasn't impressed with the Dadugang, and the Yichanghao Song '99 was mostly just about the qi--the flavor was distinctly not particularly dynamic.
Incidentally, Dan Kunmu (of shikunmu fame) suggests that the '99 Big Green Tree is actually a Nannuo of some kind.
What say you all?

The Digital Skeptic: NFL Referees Prove Better Pay Is Better for Investors
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- I know, I know. We are supposed to root for management here in the investor luxury box. The grunts and smacks of capitalism's controlled mayhem are what create the improved productivity and jobs that put the wealth-creation points on the investor scoreboard.
And if a company fumbles and pays its workers more? Oh heavens ... that's 15 yards, a first down -- and a stiff fine from the investing league office.
But in these everything-we-know-is-wrong digital days, this grim rulebook no longer applies.
Last week, the National Football League ended its lockout of the NFL Referees Association by doing something not many other multibillion-dollar enterprises do: It coughed up major concessions to lowly part-time employees -- its refs.
Read it and weep, you people with jobs. The zebras stiff-armed some of our economy's most savage management linebackers, including New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft and Dallas' Jerry Jones. The refs gained an unprecedented 18% jump in pay, a throwback defined-benefit pension plan and -- it's almost impossible to believe in this slash-and-burn era -- real, full-time jobs for some refs.
And you know what? Not only was there no investor torrent of booing, but the National Football League has probably never been worth more -- making the business of football the poster child for valuing big enterprises in the information age.
Here's why:
The information slopping around inside big companies is just as meaningless as the information slopping around outside big companies.
Get over it, quants, not only is the information investors use to make investment decisions a commodity, but the information company managers use to manage their operations is a commodity. The mistake managers made is simple: Somewhere in the New York-based NFL league offices, information on a computer screen led managers to think that nothing would be simpler than swapping one employee for another. After all, thousands of top-quality officials manage thousands of top-quality games each year. The rules they enforce all flow openly across limitless digital devices. And really, how hard can it be to blow a whistle and yell "First down"?
But out here in reality, things turned out to be far more, well, real.
No model could account for the utter contempt players showed for the new zebras or the nuances old refs such as Ed Hochuli had for keeping the game interesting for television. It took three weeks -- and the so-called Worst Call Ever on last Monday's Packers-Seahawks debacle -- for the league's owners to realize how wrong their models were.
But realize it they did. And the owners had no choice but to take a couple for the company.
A company that pays employees more is -- guess what? -- worth more.

Absolutely a must
Posted by ShaunD on Mar 05, 2012
I learned that all my problem is related to extreme deficiency in good fungi, this product has helped my to digest cellulose once again which is also the reason to my candida overgrowth. good fungi is very important, don't get confused, it is NOT candida and it is essential in your fight with candida. I keep myself healthy with this product and Korean kimchi (use it for cooking). Remember though, best used 2 h after and 1 h before food so that it can do its magic on empty stomach.
Good, but avoid this if you are allergic to yeast.
Posted by Reviewer1146718 on Mar 29, 2012
I tried to use this after reading Ultramind Solution by Mark Hyman MD. But I stopped, since I felt this itching all over my body and my face swollen / dark circles darkend in the morning. It may be the die-off of candida albicans, but I was worried after I googled & found warnings that you should not try this if you have yeast allergy. I'm allergic to beer & wine. I feel tired & have bad hangover over them. This is good yeast, not a bad fungus, but still a yeast. I'm giving this to my husband instead, and it seems to work for him.
Great Stuff

This product prevents Candida over-growth (yeast infection) which is a cause of many illnesses.Your second line of defense is a healthy gut. Been using it for years! It works well.
Works great!

My son has a yeast overgrowth, and this product keeps it in check. I also use it on my dog, who has a tendency towards ear infections and "other" yeast infections. I has prevented those too.
Nice product
Posted by SherryB on Aug 23, 2012
Product seems to work as well as the more expensive brands. Iherb has the best price I have seen. I take these with the antibiotics that I am taking for Lyme's disease to protect the good bacteria in the gut.
works well

Husband has been taking this for about 8 months,to help w/diarrhea. So far great results,also using super enzymes.
Posted by Reviewer3094282 on Sep 23, 2011
I think it has been helpful in preventing a reoccurance of c-difficile in my father.
I love these!
Posted by sweetheart on Jul 23, 2012
These are the best probiotics I have used! I can't really explain this any better but I have a different (good) feeling when taking these. Saccharomyces boulardii will survive through stomach acids and that's why it's more effective than most other probiotics. It's also very commonly known to help those with candida-related problems. As it is yeast, not bacteria, it fights candida better than other probiotics. It takes yeast to fight one? :)
Posted by MartineTrinder on Apr 11, 2016
This could be TMI for some but to tell you how great this product is I need to talk toilet time a little bit! So I have had diarrhea for the last 10 years. I wont go into more detail than that but I have tried EVERYTHING to fix it.. everything... diets.. products.. GAPS.. SCD.. i could go on.. no matter how cleaner my diet has gotten I still hadn't managed to stop the diarrhea and tummy cramping etc UNTIL i started taking this... All i can say is I am diarrhea FREE!!!! amazing! I am forever grateful x
Seems good enough.
Posted by Reviewer2741050 on Oct 22, 2014
Seems to improve my ibd condition with a good probiotic. The smell is not entirely pleasant. I've had other brand boulardii which smelled like yeast, but this product smells more like a fertilizer that's come out of the south end of a chicken.

Skip to comments.President Obama's Cat-Food Future For Retirees
Posted on 01/17/2013 7:58:38 AM PST by IBD editorial writer
The Obama Economy: Americans are drawing down their 401(k)s for nonretirement needs in record numbers, just as Social Security goes bust. This portends poverty for millions as the White House fiddles. Cat food, anyone? One out of four U.S. workers with 401(k) retirement savings accounts has been forced to cash them out or borrow from them at high costs just to stay solvent. The Washington Post, citing a report from financial advisory firm HelloWallet, said the withdrawals have drained $70 billion, or an astonishing near-quarter of the total $293 billion, in America's retirement accounts "undermining already shaky retirement security for millions of Americans."
(Excerpt) Read more at news.investors.com ...
this is the plan....cause you to withdraw, and with inflation consume at a higher rate, thus you and up at the mercy of Obamacare where they can euthanize you because you are no longer viable
Obama is doing a good thing. After all, somebody has to eat all the damned cat food! (My cats won't, they demand tuna fish instead.) This is what's meant by "Redistribution..."
Get with the program, Boxer! After all, Napoleon Pig has only your Transformed Happiness at heart.
They are drawing money out because they are in desperate need of money to live on. NOBODY withdraws 401K or IRA money before 59 1/2 without a desperate need because of the huge penalties and tax implications caused by such a move. Remember, those with this type of savings are generally middle class and often professional and educated people.
Responsible people who saved their whole lives are being forced into poverty because their previous jobs have gone. They are in their late forties and early fifties and they are unable to get ANYTHING in their area of knowledge or field and any open jobs are going to the young because they are able to work for much less, are usually single (much cheaper to insure), and have a fifty percent unemployment rate.
There is real desperation out there and it effects real people. Many who have done everything right their whole lives. Their lives are burning while O'Bumbler and the Democrats fiddle.
Yes, a number of cats eat better than their servants. Maybe the example should be updated to cite dog food instead...
I understand that The High Priestess Morgana Obama said:
Let them eat kale!
I've been thinking of withdrawing my IRA to avoid confiscation. I'm 60 te
years old and had hoped to keep it longer, but I don't trust this president. The question is where to put it. I need something the greedy b-tard can't touch.
To: 2ndDivisionVet
Food prices and availability would be the least of my worries.
I live in the vegetable capital of Cebu.
I go to the market each day where I see mountains of veggies from many vendors. Rice is everywhere for less then $1 per kilo.
I buy bananas, mangos, and oranges for five cents. There is abundant fresh fish, pork, and chicken.
In the US, you are dependent on a very long supply chain from farm or sea to your house. I have only one intermediary from source to my tummy.... the cute girls that weigh my selections and tell me what I owe.

yeah! "Let them eat dog food!" (an Obama update of "Qu'ils mangent de la brioche," commonly attributed to Marie Antionette)
(the cats had a Rotisserie Chicken for breakfast this morning...)
I'd put 10% in gold/silver if it were me.
And it will be worse. If the average percentage of food, gas, electric, etc. of the retirees is, say 20%, then that percentage will creep (or skyrocket) to more than 50%. That is when you will see grandma and grandpa out in the streets with pitchforks and torches. It's coming and Obama and company will relish the day.
I'm 55 and am afraid that the government raid of our accounts will happen before I'm old enough to get the tax break. With this president's love of Roosevelt's progressive experiments... I wouldn't trust gold much longer either.
He is building a constituency for the Teresa Ghilarducci "seize 401K's and build a Super-Duper Social Security Program" project.
could probably pick a lot worse investments....
(especially with today's phoney-inflated stock market...how long can the politicians keep THAT floating up there in the clouds with fake "stimulus" or "quantitative easing" fiat funds?)
Unfortunately, that means getting it out of the US with all the attendant difficulties with foreign accounts, reporting, or bullion storage. Some would suggest real estate in the stable country of your choice, but the key is security out of the reach of Uncle Sam.
Yes, a number of cats eat better than their servants. Maybe the example should be updated to cite dog food instead...
Plus, perhaps if the elderly subsist on pet food, we can go to a veterinarian for health care and avoid Zero's death panel and the withholding of care.
I just called my financial guy this morning to take more money out of my Retirement Funds so that I can pay for house heating fuel.
It's really tough going. I don't know how we will survive four more years of this. I guess that's the goal though, drive Americans to poverty.
And with the great dictator's enthusiasm for the UN and that one world carp, can anyone be sure that somehow he can still reach our assets abroad?
Rice, potatoes, and ramyun are a lot cheaper than most dog (or cat) food, and they taste a lot better...
Cat Food ? The price of catfood has doubled since the installations of all the government planted presidents, since 2001. E.g. the price of a 3 oz. can around 27-30 cents in 2001, is now 55-60 cents and higher.
All of them, ever since Reagan left office....the brainwashing/conditioning, since the planting of the government Glass-Steagal repeal scam artists presidents, continues.
It's worse than that. Obama and the 'Rats are the torches. Obama wants to break white America while he orders in wagyu beef and Mooch goes on $4,000,000 holidays on Air Force One. The policy is called "miserification" -- happy people vote Republican, so break their lives and presto! Instant Democrats. Especially if they're eating out of your hand -- how can they say "no" when your ward heeler tells them what the price of a bowl of rice is?
I'm reminded of surgeries on cats—surgeries with costs in the thousands and even tens of thousands of dollars. Even their cats don't eat cat food. The cat food must be going to young folks, who are out of work because of collusions with foreign communist enemies to shut down our economy and nation. A large manufacturing base is necessary for big, sustainable revenues.
In 0bama bizzaro world, those that have put off consumption and saved for their own retirement are not prudent people who have planned for their future, but greedy 1%'ers, who don't really need the money anyway, and should be spreading the wealth around. If they won't do it, Dear Reader will finds ways for them to finally pay "their fair share"...
Same age and situation here. The though of four more years of guy makes my skin crawl.
I think Obama is accomplishing what Bill Ayers tried to do decades ago; blow up the White House only it will be at the hands of the people that he thinks he is king of.
The obama plan is to make whitey suffer....yeah, I said it.
Like the Jimmy Carter years, only worse. Before it's over we'll have endured and entire decade or more of 'MALAISE' and 'STAGFLATION.' These are the new normals. Resistance is futile, you will be assimilated, then crushed. Sorry.

@kevinhunsperger & @my123cents
I debated doing this as an all wrestling blog, but thought it might be more appealing if I included other famous grandparents as well. There are plenty of great third generation wrestling superstars out there, and I've talked about that recently in my Legacy blog. So here are some of my favorite grandparents from TV, movies, and wrestling. I posted a more serious grandparent blog recently, you can read it here.
Mama in the ringThelma "Mama" Harper is one of my all time favorite television characters. I remember when I was really young catching Vicki Lawrence play the character on the Carol Burnett Show. The skits were popular enough to take Mama to prime time and eventually into syndication. In the early episodes of Mama's Family, she had two grandkids living with her, Buzz and Sonja. I preferred the relaunch of the show with Bubba. Mama was a grumpy old woman who really did love her family, but didn't always express it. Memorable Mama moments include her and Naomi teaming up to wrestle the Masked Mables, Mama donning a white beard and red suit and playing Santa, and the family's trip to Hawaii. I was fortunate enough to interview Vicki Lawrence about 10 years ago when I lived in Indiana. A few years ago I was able to see her Vicki Lawrence & Mama: A Two Woman Show in Carbondale. If Mama's Family is ever on, you can bet I am tuning in and laughing at the jokes that are now 30 years old.
Hot call for Grampa SimpsonAbraham "Grampa" Simpson, like his dimwitted son Homer, makes me laugh whenever he's on the Simpsons. In the nearly 25 years of the show, Grampa has provided plenty of laughs. Some of my favorite quotes from him include, "It'll be a cold day in hell before I recognize Missouri as a state.", "I'm gonna smooch her like a mule eating an apple.", and "I'm in love... no it's a stroke." Grampa has a rich history too, at least according to him. He was a war hero, former professional wrestler, and the creator a love potion. We've seen on the show, he was a tough dad when Homer was growing up, but has turned into a lovable old man who annoys his family when given the chance. His grandkids Bart, Lisa, and Maggie take full advantage of him when they can. He's one of Springfield's most interesting characters in my opinion.
Grandpa MunsterSam Dracula was not your typical grandfather. He was a vampire and a funny one at that. Better known to viewers of The Munsters as Grandpa, he was the live in, thorn-in-the-side of his son-in-law Herman Munster. Even though he and Herman would fight a lot, they also had some very funny and entertaining adventures together. When trouble started brewing, Grandpa would turn himself into a bat and fly away. The one thing that stuck out to me was the way he'd laugh. Grandpa always did his best to pass on advice to his little grandson Eddie and mortal granddaughter Marilyn. This show too has a wrestling connection (I didn't plan this), as Herman donned a mask and wrestled in an episode as Grandpa watches on TV. Even though the show lasted less than two years, it lives on today in syndication and will make generations to come laugh.These are just a few of my favorites. Here's a whole lot of honorable mentions (in no particular order). Thanks for reading.

Several very important papers are required in order to legally study abroad. All take a bit of planning and time in order to process and receive. Start early!
Check the U.S. Government's website for the latest costs.
App status on the U.S. Government's website.
"A passport, as I'm sure you know, is a document that one shows to government officials whenever one reaches a border between countries, so the officials can learn who you are, where you were born, and how you look when photographed unflatteringly."
— Lemony Snicket
U.S. citizens are required to have a passport to enter most foreign countries and to gain re-entry into the United States. Do this as early as possible as passports can take 4-6 weeks or longer to be processed. It's advisable to apply several months in advance. You will also need a passport in order to apply for any country-specific visa which can also take many weeks. For more information on applying for a passport, pricing, etc. see the U.S. Government's website.
How to apply: You must apply in-person at one of the following:
Chittenden Superior Court
175 Main Street, Burlington, VT 05401
8:30 - 4:00 p.m. Monday - Friday
Tip: It is always advisable to photocopy all your documents when applying for passports.
How to renew: If you already hold a passport that has been issued within the last 15 years, and you were at least 16 years old at the time of issuance, you may be eligible to renew your passport by mail. Passport renewal application forms can be obtained from the Chittenden Superior Courthouse. Or, find out pricing and get an application on the U.S. Government's website.
A visa is special permission, usually as a stamp or endorsement on your passport, granted by a foreign government to enter their country. Visas are granted for travel, extended stay, work, and study. In most cases, you will need to obtain the visa before leaving the United States. As with your passport, please allow plenty of time for your visa to be processed.
Visas can only be obtained by applying directly to the foreign government via their diplomatic offices in the U.S. Be aware that some countries do not accept applications through the mail and require you to appear in person at their U.S. office in order to secure your visa.
Find out if you need a visa: Once you have been accepted to your program, check with them to see if you require a visa, and if so, which type of visa you need.
Find out if you or the program secure the visa: Check also to see if your program will process the visa for you. If your program does not process visas for its participants, you will be responsible for securing your own visa.
Obtain the visa: The easiest way to obtain a visa is by applying to a foreign consulate (located in most major U.S. cities) or to the foreign embassy in the U.S.. To check the nearest location of a consulate or embassy, you can refer to the State Department's website. Visa application processes vary widely between countries., Check the consulate or embassy website for information regarding application fees, requirements, process timeline, and regulations regarding visa validation upon arrival in country.
Tip: Photocopy everything before submitting it and use certified mail both ways. Usually, visas are stamped directly in your passport and you will likely have to submit your passport along with your application (possibly photos as well). Certified mail will ensure that this valuable document can be traced if lost.
While making your plans to study abroad, verify your own health insurance policy to see what coverage it provides for medical services abroad. You are required to have a valid medical insurance policy in order to participate in a study abroad program. Some programs and/or countries may require that you purchase their health insurance. Check with your university or program provider for requirements.
The UVM Travel Clinic serves the needs of UVM students traveling to foreign countries for study abroad or for independent/personal travel. Students will meet with experienced nurses who will provide many services including required and recommended immunizations for the region you're visiting, as well as International Certificates of Vaccination/The World Health Organization Card (known as the Yellow WHO Card), and much more.
The Travel Clinic is located within Primary Care, on the ground floor of 425 Pearl Street. Appointments can be made by calling Primary Care at (802) 656-3350.

More Money Needed For Development
Imagine a North Harmony with more commercial development in Stow, Ashville and the Stedman Corners area.
Think, if you will, about the possibilities for additional development on Main Street in Bemus Point while making it easier for both car, bicycle and pedestrian traffic. How much better would the visitor experience to one of Chautauqua Lake's most beautiful villages be enhanced with a history trail, public restrooms and other pedestrian amenities?
Paint a picture in your head of the town of Ellicott with a more balanced mix of commercial businesses, including recognizable chain stores and local businesses, with additional development along Interstate 86 on Fluvanna Avenue, North Main Street and in Falconer. Imagine the waterfront development along Chautauqua Lake that could make the southern end of Chautauqua Lake as big a tourist attraction as Bemus Point or Mayville.
Those are among the visions included in comprehensive plans completed in the last few years by the town of North Harmony and Ellicott and the village of Bemus Point. Jamestown is in the midst of implementing several such plans in its downtown area and neighborhoods. Chautauqua County completed a much broader Chautauqua 20/20 plan in 2011. Now, the town of Busti will have a plan by sometime this spring.
It would be easier if such planning wasn't handled in a piecemeal fashion. But, given the resistance to mergers, planning for the future is necessary. Such plans are necessary to provide a framework to build the county, city, towns and villages in which area residents want to live. Given the county's overall trend of declining population and tax base, it is important local officials have a plan to make the area a more desirable place to live with a vital economy and the infrastructure necessary to bring potential employers to the area.
Why, then, is the area not already what we want it to be? Surely generations of leaders before this one realized the value of vision and creating a plan to realize their visions. As is often the case, it comes down to money. Bringing those wonderful visions and ideas to life ultimately requires funding – an item often not discussed in comprehensive plans except in range ideas like high, medium and low.
Jamestown has foundations and a Community Development Block Grant allocation to help with the funding problem. Towns and villages don't have such resources. The village of Celoron tried to find money for its waterfront redevelopment projects through the Western New York Economic Development Council, but the village wasn't awarded any funding.
Area foundations can help to a degree with grants or by hosting endowment funds that can help pay for projects, but a larger pool of money must be created at the state or regional level to help communities implement the items in these plans. Until there is an easier way for communities to pay for infrastructure or other improvements in their comprehensive plans, it will be impossible for the Chautauqua County of the future to be the Chautauqua County we hope it will be.

Comments about Wipe-Clean Pockets (Set of 5):
These wipe clean pockets are fantastic. A page is placed inside the pocket & the children write with the supplied dry erase pen on top & when finished, they wipe clean before starting again. These are perfect for practising handwriting, letter formation, noughts & crosses, dot to dot, worksheets...honestly, anything you can think of. I recently wrote a 'to do' checklist on them & said the jobs could be wiped off once done, my children raced to get the pockets blank so must remember to do that again! These allow sheets to be reused from child to child, saving a HUGE amount of paper & printing! We have some coloured dry-erase pens & these also work brilliantly for drawings/colouring too, although my 2 & a half year old is left handed & often wipes off her 'masterpieces' as she goes. Can not recommend these highly enough.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

About Me Education Oriented, Homeschooling Mom, Parent Of Two Or More Children, Stay At Home Parent, Working Parent
I use this wipe pockets to write plans for the kids. I used to be a teacher and I tried lesson planners at home but at home is a different world. As a home school mom, I like to plan things to be available but I don't know when they will happen. Now I can have my list and wipe away what we accomplish! I love to be able to carry my wipe pockets as planners without dates! I use the colors to indicate different areas/subjects. I am looking for a big ring to keep them all together.

Donations sought for book sales in June
The Friends of the Princeton Library will hold two book sales in June, one for children and one for adults. Funds raised support the library's community activities, the purchase of books and museum passes, and other special projects.
The Friends are currently seeking donations of clean, sellable (hardback, paperback or taped) fiction and nonfiction books, from best-selling novels to cookbooks, and everything in between. Please, no musty or damaged books, textbooks, encyclopedias, condensed books or games.
Donations to the children's and youth book sale can be left at the library during regular library hours.
Books for the adult sale may be placed in the blue collection box on the porch of Mechanics Hall, 104 Main St. (Route 140), East Princeton. If you have a sizeable donation, call Jean Strock at 978-464-2051 to arrange a drop-off appointment. As a last resort, books for the adult sale can be left at the library, although this makes extra work for the volunteers and staff. The deadline for donations is May 28.
The adult book sale will be held 10 a.m. to noon and 3-7 p.m. Friday, June 4, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, June 5, and noon to 3 p.m. Sunday, June 6, at Mechanics Hall, East Princeton. The children's and youth book sale is noon to 5 p.m. Friday, June 11, at the Princeton Town Hall Annex.
For more information, call Jean at 978-464-2051.

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
I recenlly purchased 5 of these unit for my utlity van service fleet. I like that this unit combines gps,bluetooth, and rearview camera (camera sold sep) into the head unit. This removes the need to mount other devices to the windshield or sun visior. Our techs love the hands free technology and the expanded features above and beyond the factoey suppied head unit ie'''usb etc. Garman gps is flawless and is quick to respond. Booth tooth is fairly clear. The touch screen and menu funntions are very user friendly.
Pros: Easy to install and cost competitive

October 9th, 1997 / 2 p.m.
Bernard Patry Pierrefonds—Dollard, QC
Mr. Speaker, as a physician, I am pleased to mark the 130th anniversary of the Canadian Medical Association, or CMA.
The CMA was born on October 9, 1867, under the leadership of Dr. William Marsden, who was soon considered to be the father of this association. In those days, the CMA had 167 members. Today, it represents the vast majority of physicians at the federal level.
The CMA speaks on behalf of physicians and provides a full range of services through its member service centre and its various branches, including corporate affairs, research, professional affairs, marketing and commercial activities, professional development and public affairs.
Long live the great family of the Canadian Medical Association, its twelve independent provincial and territorial divisions and its 42 affiliates.

Carolyn Bennett St. Paul's, ON
Mr. Speaker, on October 9, 1867, three months after the proclamation of Canadian Confederation, 167 physicians from the then four provinces of Canada met in Quebec City to establish the Canadian Medical Association. The first president of the CMA was Sir Charles Tupper who would later in 1896 serve as Prime Minister of Canada.
Today the Canadian Medical Association celebrates its 130th anniversary, making it one of the oldest associations in Canada. The mission of the CMA is to provide leadership for physicians and to promote the highest standard of health and health care for Canadians.
It is an honour for me as a physician to commemorate this anniversary and I ask that you, Mr. Speaker, and my colleagues join me in extending our best wishes to the doctors of Canada.

Peter Goldring Edmonton East, AB
Mr. Speaker, as a former airman in the Royal Canadian Air Force of the 1960s I am pleased to announce today we are honoured by the presence in the gallery of veterans who manned the Commonwealth radar installations in the second world war.
These men and women of the Royal Canadian Air Force operated and maintained these never sleeping, ever-vigilant eyes of freedom. The use of radar was pioneered by our visitors, developing into a technology that protected Canada through the cold war but, more importantly, by detecting the earliest stages of enemy air attacks. The radar network saved countless lives and helped ensure victory for the Allies.
I invite all members of the House to give recognition to Canada's honourable radar veterans of the Royal Canadian Air Force.

John Richardson Perth—Middlesex, ON
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise in the House today to echo the tribute to the Canadian men and women who were called by the British government to assist the Allies' air defence and they answered "Ready, aye, ready". We have them here today as a testimonial. This may be their last reunion as time catches up. We love to have the opportunity to salute their efforts.
I would also like to pay special tribute to the role women played in this vital service to the RAF.
Thousands of Canadians responded and offered their services to meet the Royal Air Force's critical shortage of personnel in the radar systems on land and sea and in the air. These brave men and women were required to train for eight rigorous weeks and went on to serve honourably at radar stations in Europe, Asia, Africa, Arabia, India, China and other Far East countries.
Many military historians attribute the victory in this war to the Allies' superiority in radar air defence.
All this week the radar technicians have been in Ottawa for what may be their last reunion because many of their operators may be too old to keep it going.
Liberal Party Of Canada

Ghislain Lebel Chambly, QC
Mr. Speaker, since last week, the Liberal government has been in hot water. Allegations of influence peddling have been pouring down on the Liberal Party of Canada and on certain individuals in key positions within the government.
Yet the Prime Minister and the President of the Treasury Board refuse to budge, hiding behind lame excuses.
Those who spend years teaching others to keep clean cannot take any risk when it comes to cleaning up their own house.
Yet the government's ethics counsellor works quietly, behind closed doors. Departmental employees are blithely breaking the government's code of ethics. There is still no legislation to make political party financing more transparent. The real policy of the government in this area is nothing but a sham.
Considering the way the government has been acting, it can no longer afford to give anybody lessons in public ethics.
Radar Veterans Reunion

Marlene Catterall Ottawa West—Nepean, ON
Mr. Speaker, I too want to pay tribute to the nearly 6,000 Canadians who volunteered to serve during the second world war as radar technicians with the Royal Air Force.
They served around the world, but they also helped to defend Britain against invasion by air, warning of air raids and bombing attacks and thus helping the people of Britain through their darkest hour.
The efforts of these radar technicians were crucial in withstanding the assault of the Third Reich, the eventual victory for the Allies and the end of World War II.
The British government sent certificates of appreciation to these Canadian heroes, but instead of being distributed at the time they were destroyed. I am proud to have been instrumental last year in ensuring that a half century later, at their 50th reunion, these veterans finally got the certificates they deserved.
Today I am pleased to invite members of Parliament to meet and personally thank our radar technician veterans in Room 237-C immediately after question period.
The Senate

Bill Gilmour Nanaimo—Alberni, BC
Mr. Speaker, next week will mark the anniversary of the first Senate election in Canada. On October 16, 1989 Albertans elected the late Stan Waters to the Senate.
Albertans chose Stan Waters and the Prime Minister honoured their choice by appointing Stan to the upper chamber in 1990.
Stan Waters made Canadian history when he was elected by the biggest majority of Canadians in any election. He was chosen by the people to represent the people, not the interests of the political party in power.
Stan Waters set the example that the Prime Minister can follow, if he chooses to respect the principles of true democracy and honour the will of the people, because Senate election acts currently exist in both British Columbia and Alberta.
Canadians deserve more than government by patronage and appointment. Today an elected Senate is possible without constitutional change. Let us follow the—

Statements By Members

Jacques Saada Brossard—La Prairie, QC
Mr. Speaker, I would like to draw the hon. members' attention to the actions taken by the Government of Canada to revive and develop the site of the military base and the airport area in Saint-Hubert and their surroundings.
The Federal Office of Regional Development for Quebec decided to contribute $990,000 to a local initiative for the creation of the Saint-Hubert military base and airport area corporation.
This corporation will be responsible for managing $1 million in adjustment money that the defence department made available to the area.
Moreover, $6 million will be invested over three years to transform the economic base of the area and promote technological development. The financial assistance will be used to help implement expansion plans for the small businesses in my area, Montreal's south shore.
This is a fine example of how good long-term jobs can be created in Quebec.
Health Care
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Michelle Dockrill Bras D'Or, NS
Mr. Speaker, I have good news and bad news for Canadians today.
The good news is, two-tier health care is not a threat any more. The bad news is, it is a reality.
Alberta's first private hospital is now up and running; a private for profit hospital where those who can afford to pay get service and those who cannot are left behind.
Allowing a private hospital to operate paves the way for two-tier health care. The government, egged on by the Reform Party, is standing aside to let it happen. This new private hospital is chomping at the bit to set up shop in Toronto, Edmonton and Vancouver.
Canadians want the Minister of Health to take action, not to sit idly by as foreign companies line up to rake in big profits while they dismantle medicare.
Surely patient care must always come before profit.

Diane St-Jacques Shefford, QC
Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to bring National Family Week to the attention of the House. Like many other Canadians, I am pressed for time by my work schedule and my other activities.
We should all relax a little. We should take time to play with our children and look after those we love, the members of our family.
We must not forget our family, whether it is a traditional family, a reconstituted family, an extended family or a single parent family. We must each remember our own family, and those governing us must do the same.
Unfortunately, the average Canadian family is growing poorer every day. I wish the government would remember whom it represents. Between National Family Week and National Child Day, November 20, I hope it will finally set its own targets for the reduction of poverty, for the good of our children and of their families.

Mr. Speaker, Oktoberfest in Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario is an annual event which this year is from October 10 to 19.
This festival underscores the German heritage of our area in Ontario and in Canada. The Oktoberfest parade on October 13 is a nationally televised event which enables families everywhere to enjoy the spirit of "Gemutlichkeit" which means good cheer and good will which is so much part of this celebration.
I encourage all Canadians to join Kitchener-Waterloo in this great celebration.

Gilles Bernier Tobique—Mactaquac, NB
Mr. Speaker, over the past several years youth in particular have been made to bear the brunt of the needlessly high level of unemployment imposed on this country by the Liberal government.
In my riding of Tobique—Mactaquac, more specifically school district 12, progress was being made. District 12 had implemented a school based youth internship program that was extremely successful, resulting in 60% of the participants having paid employment after the school year.
That is the good news. The bad news is that the Liberal government took one look at the results of the program and did what came naturally. It cut its funding.
I hope that some of the $90 million announced in the throne speech and earmarked for youth internship will find its way to Tobique—Mactaquac so that the school program can be reinstated.

Mr. Speaker, Niagara-on-the-Lake, a town I have the honour of representing federally, may rank as the second prettiest town in the world. But in the hearts of those who live there and of the 3.5 million who visit our community each year, Niagara-on-the-Lake is and will always be the most beautiful town in the world.
At the Community in Bloom contest hosted in Madrid, Spain, Niagara-on-the-Lake was competing against four other finalists, one of which, Stratford, Ontario, came first.
Today I would like to salute Niagara-on-the-Lake and congratulate its citizens who made it possible for this beautiful Canadian town to participate in this important international competition and place second.
While I congratulate Stratford, I would like to point out that three of the four finalists were Canadian towns. This speaks volumes for Canada, the best country in the world in which to live.

Baked Lemonade Pork Chops
Recipe courtesy of Jeff Paine, Gold N' Silver Inn, Reno, NV
- Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives
- Sauce:
- 5 cups lemonade (reconstituted, not concentrate) If you make your own fresh lemonade, by all means use it!
- 1 1/2 cups tomato ketchup
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup (1/4 pound) brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons each granulated garlic, onion powder, ground ginger
- 2 tablespoons each paprika, chili powder
- 2 tablespoons each fresh finely chopped thyme leaves, oregano leaves, sweet basil leaves, if using dried herbs use 2 teaspoons of each
- Pork Chops:
- Cooking oil, for the skillet
- Eight 6-to-8-ounce center cut pork chops (trimmed somewhat lean to avoid excess grease in baking pan)
- All-purpose flour lightly seasoned with salt and pepper, enough to coat chops
For the sauce: In a large bowl or pitcher, mix all of the sauce ingredients together. Set aside.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
For the pork chops: Heat a large heavy skillet over medium heat and add enough cooking oil to coat the bottom. Dredge the pork chops in the seasoned flour and brown for approximately 2 minutes per side in the skillet. Transfer the chops to a baking pan. Fan the chops so that each chop is exposed as much as possible.
Pour the sauce over the chops and cover the baking pan with heavy aluminum foil.
Bake until the chops are tender 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Transfer the chops to a serving platter and serve.
Helpful Tips: For less clean up, use a resealable plastic bag to coat the chops with flour, but don't shake off too much excess, as the flour will aid in the "glazing" of the chops while they bake. Use a large enough baking pan to allow for the chops to be exposed as much as possible; while still small enough for the sauce to mostly cover the chops. If sauce seems very thin towards the end of baking, remove the foil to help reduce the liquid and reach the desired consistency of the sauce. It won't be real thick but should have some "cling" to the chops.
Good served with either mashed potatoes or rice, depending on preference.
Professional Recipe: This recipe was provided by a chef, restaurant or culinary professional and makes a large quantity. The Food Network Kitchens chefs have not tested this recipe in the proportions indicated and therefore cannot make any representation as to the results.
