Game Day is here! The day of the Women's World Cup Final is here, and the U.S. Delegation has arrived in Frankfurt to cheer on Team USA.
The delegation landed in Germany early this morning and had a chance to visit with some of the friends and family members of the team. Ambassador Phil Murphy, Dr. Biden, and Chelsea Clinton addressed the group in an atmosphere of growing excitement, pride, and anticipation.
Dr. Biden thanked Team USA for honoring our country with their amazing performance -- and also noted that the strong foundation for that has been laid by Title IX in the United States. She wished the team good luck from everyone back at the White House and a proud nation back home.
Chelsea Clinton also shared her thanks and excitement with the team, stressing the power of sport and how much this event means to women and girls around the world.
Team USA is a true source of pride, unity, and inspiration -- in just a few hours, supporters and fans from around the world will join to watch them! USA!

Rated 5 out of 5�by DFL Daughter loves them Needed socks for my daughter while on a trip to Utah. Found these on sale and bought them. My daughter loves them. Very comfortable and durable. August 9, 2016
Rated 3 out of 5�by smallsocks2 bought these for adult female I wear a size 5.5 or 6 womens shoe and socks for 6-10 women are generally too big. I bought size small Nike's W before at Dicks but couldn't find them this trip. So I went for the Youth...these are nice, fit ok with exception of arch support and compression, which is lacking. Nike needs to put in more support. Not Dick's fault...it's the product. If you are looking for a summer runner sock in a smaller size and don't mind the lack of support buy these, otherwise keep looking. July 6, 2016

Rated 4 out of 5�by 1 reviewer.
Rated 4 out of 5�by Staci Good overall board I have had this board for 3 years, it has held up well. It is very durable and stays inflated. The material becomes very hard, but still has some give when you stand on it which makes for more of a core work out. You would not be able to do yoga on this type of board. It does roll up, but the back pack is more duffle bag size and is heavy with all the equipment in it. Took it out with others on a windy day this weekend and did not have any more trouble navigating then someone else with a standard hard board. Sitting on it and using it more as a kayak is easy enough too, but I would recommend a kayak paddle for this use. June 2, 2014

Another great First Night
To the editor:
The First Night board members would like to thank the Saranac Lake community and surrounding area for supporting our New Year's Eve event. We are still amazed that this is our seventh year.

Here's wishing everyone a happy and healthy new year.

In short: Good fun in the pouring rain. Apart from the "lost" entries it was well organisedDate of review: May 17, 2009
In short: Enjoyable race in nice surroundingsIn full: The fact I came back for a second time is because not only is it local but its a good size, the people running it are friendly and the course is challenging without being too bad. Improved by a minute on last year so happy enough. As others have said though the lap of the playing field has to be at the end when we are spread out. Having it at the start is just asking for trouble/injury.Date of review: February 22, 2009
In short: Good conditions and very well organised. PB potential if you can negotiate the crowds in the first couple of milesDate of review: January 18, 2009
In short: Slick organisation and PB potential make this a good raceIn full: You wouldn't travel for the scenery but this is always very well run and has definite PB potential (as I found out at the 3rd time of asking).Date of review: December 14, 2008
In short: Breezy but good fun. Seemed to be mainly club runners but I didn't feel left out. PB made it a good trip!In full: Well organised and very cheery marshalls made this a good morning out. Less wind would of been good but it is November after all!Date of review: November 10, 2008
In short: I still have the warm glow 5 days later!In full: An excellent race. I can only echo what the others have said about the lovely people, amazing route, surprising weather. If you only do 1 marathon in the UK do this one!Date of review: October 10, 2008
In short: Excellent race. Lovely scenery, good marshalling, nice t-shirt and a PB!Date of review: August 25, 2008
In short: Small but perfectly formed!In full: Nice quiet run. Small field but lots of water stations and good mix of ability. Hotter than I bargained for but even though the hills were definitely steeper the second time around I do it again.Date of review: May 5, 2008
In short: Very well organized for a first running and cheerful marshalls always help. Breeze and slight undulations meant no PB but I will be back next year.Date of review: February 25, 2008

Warm and Cozy at Sunriver Resort
It's been a chilly January so far at Sunriver Resort, but you won't see us complaining! Here are some of the ways we are staying warm and cozy on property this season.
Hot Chocolate -
Smooth, creamy, chocolate goodness that warms you head to toe. Belatazza makes the best. Ask for a real mug and don't even think about requesting a "skinny" version!
Hot Tub -
Not just any hot tub; the beautiful stone-lined hot tub nestled among our River Lodge guest rooms. It is sheltered from snow overhead, secluded enough to let you relax, and has a breathtaking view of the meadow and the mountains.
Hot Stone Massage -
January is the feature month for a Lavender and Sage Hot Stone Massage at Sage Springs Spa, where heated river rocks are placed on your back to soothe tension and rejuvenate tired muscles.
A Roaring Fire -
We prefer the 12' stone fireplace at the Owl's Nest Bar & Grille. Ideally, we have a craft beer or specialty cocktail in one hand while we enjoy the soothing crackle of said fire.
Tell us, how are you staying warm this winter?

Two blog posts in one day?!?! That's just crazy talk! I know what you're thinking…"Are all of your clients drop-dead gorgeous, or what??" And the answer is, "Yes, why yes, they are!" It just so happens that beautiful (inside and out!) runs in this family – AND their extended family! These precious ones are cousins to those lil ones I just posted earlier today! I can honestly say I've never met a sweeter, kinder, well-behaved, more respectful bunch of kids…them's good genes!
I always look forward to this session every year. For some reason, these kids inspire me…they are my muses. Maybe it's because I have been capturing them since I first started my business. They've been with me and watched me grow as a photographer and throughout that journey, they have always given me their complete trust and confidence in my vision and who I am. Just puts me to ease and as always, some of my favorite images that I've ever taken come from their sessions.

A guy with absolutely no pizza experience opened up a joint next door to our business in a mini mall less than a year ago. He showed me his kitchen before he opened....a 60 qt mixer, a sheeter, electric ovens, etc... nice set up.He cranks out absolutely horrible $5 pepperoni pizzas using canned sauce from Smart & Final and cheapest ingredients he can find. They sell like hotcakes. He's seems to be doing well even with 2 pizza franchises within walking distance from his shop.

EAA Agrees to Pay FAA for Oshkosh Air Traffic Service
The Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) on Thursday agreed to pay a one-time fee of $447,000 to cover FAA-supplied air traffic control services for its upcoming AirVenture air show in Oshkosh, Wis.
In the past, FAA has included the cost of staffing the air traffic control tower at Wittman Regional Airport into its annual budget. The week-long aviation convention typically brings over 10,000 aircraft to the small airport every year, and EAA is usually issued a special waiver for the show, which requires 87 air traffic controllers this year to manage all of the extra air traffic.
However, this year FAA is facing a $637-million reduction to its operating budget due to sequestration, and has chosen to implement a large portion of
the cuts to its budget for funding staff travel and awards. Thus, the agency is billing EAA the $447,000 to cover travel expenses for controllers that will be working at the show. Part of the bill is also to pay for replacements at the home airports where controllers are traveling from.
Still, EAA Chairman Jack Pelton feels that his organization was given short notice of the bill and that the general aviation (GA) community is being "held hostage" by FAA.
"Let me be clear, we have consistently regarded the FAA's move as holding AirVenture and GA hostage this year," Pelton said in a statement. "As far as we're concerned, this isn't over. We entered this agreement only because there was no other realistic choice to preserve aviation's largest annual gathering."
The air show will be held as scheduled, July 29-Aug. 4.

Pedestrian safety rally
To the editor:
Crossing streets in Marshall has become more difficult for walkers, joggers and school children. Increased local traffic and driver distractions are two causes. However, lack of understanding the Minnesota state law requiring drivers to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks is also a factor. A Marshall petition to improve pedestrian safety that garnered more than 100 signatures indicates the need for action.
What is being done to address the situation?
At 7 p.m. on Tuesday at the YMCA meeting room, the rally will gather information from citizens.
What is the purpose of the rally?
The rally has a threefold purpose:
To collect observations about the most difficult pedestrian crossings in Marshall along with the reason for the problems, such as a short walk light, vehicles turning right and not yielding to pedestrians, etc.
To discuss means of concentrating driver attention to crosswalks, i.e., signage in roadways, red flags at crossing or other means.
To collect suggestions for groups that would be receptive to information concerning the Minnesota pedestrian crossing law. Many citizens don't realize that Minnesota requires drivers to yield to pedestrians in both marked and unmarked crosswalks.
Which public officials will be available for comments in their areas of expertise?
In attendance will be Marshall Police Chief Rob Yant, Police Officer Eric Klenken, City Administrator Ben Martig, Marshall Community Services Assistant Director Doug Goodmund, Public Works Director Glenn Olson, MNDOT representative Jeff Vik, Marshall Public Schools Business Services Director Bruce Lamprecht and YMCA Sr. Program Director Cindy Rosa.
Who should attend the Pedestrian Safety Rally?
Adults and children who walk or bike in our community have first-hand knowledge of streets needing attention and are encouraged to share their observations. However, everyone who lives, works or shops in Marshall is encouraged to attend. As Marshall continues to grow and attract more visitors to its sports, shopping and entertainment facilities, it is important that the community also allows pedestrians of all ages to cross our streets safely.
If you have an intersection in Marshall where you would like to see pedestrian safety improved, send an email to email@example.com

Skip to comments.Exceptionally grave damage: NSA refuses to declassify Obamas cybersecurity directive
Posted on 11/20/2012 5:51:33 PM PST by Founding Father
The National Security Agency has shot down a Freedom of Information Act request for details about an elusive presidential order that may allow the government to deploy the military within the United States for the supposed sake of cybersecurity.
The Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) reports on Tuesday that their recent FOIA request for information about a top-secret memo signed last month by US President Barack Obama has been rejected [PDF]. Now attorneys for EPIC say they plan to file an appeal to get to the bottom of Presidential Policy Directive 20.
Although the executive order has been on the books for a month now, only last week did details emerge about the order after the Washington Post reported that Pres. Obamas signature to the top-secret directive could allow the White House to send in recruits from the Pentagon to protect Americas cyber-infrastructure.
Because Presidential Policy Directive 20 is classified, the exact wording of the elusive document has been a secret kept only by those with first-hand knowledge of the memo. For their November 14 article, the Post spoke with sources that saw the document to report that the directive effectively enables the military to act more aggressively to thwart cyberattacks on the nations web of government and private computer networks.
In response to the Posts report, EPIC filed a FOIA request to find out if the policy directive could mean military deployment within the United States, especially since the sources who have seen the memo say it allows the Pentagon to pursue actions against adversaries within a vaguely described terrain known only as cyberspace. What it does, really for the first time, is it explicitly talks about how we will use cyber-operations, a senior administration official told the Post. Network defense is what youre doing inside your own networks. . . . Cyber-operations is stuff outside that space, and recognizing that you could be doing that for what might be called defensive purposes.
Wed like to see what the language says and see what power is given, EPIC attorney Amie Stepanovich told RT this week a matter that will now have to be appealed before any details can be determined. News of the directive comes just as lawmakers in Congress failed once again to approve a cybersecurity legislation that would provide new connections between the federal government and the private sector in order to supposedly ramp up the United States protection from foreign hackers. With the defeat of that bill, though, members of both the House and Senate now say they expect Pres. Obama to sign a separate executive order that will lay down the groundwork for a more thorough cybersecurity plan to be established.
Meanwhile, the commander-in-chief has already signed a secret order Presidential Policy Directive 20 that might remain classified unless EPIC can win in court. We believe that the public hasnt been able to involve themselves in the cybersecurity debate, and the reason they cant involve themselves is because they dont have the right amount of information, Stepanovich tells RT. Responding to the FOIA request, the NSA says releasing information on the directive cannot occur because disclosure could reasonably be expected to cause exceptionally grave damage to the national security. Because the document is currently and properly classified, it is exempt from disclosure, the NSA writes.
It will be interesting to see how it takes Obama to set up a special internal security force. If he has not already done so.
transparent government.... or not
Free and fair elections? LOL
Transparent government? LOL
Hope for the future? LOL
Someone should hack into a government computer and find out what Directive 20 is all about.
we haven't had transparent government for well over 100 years. it's just getting less and less so.
I think that should say what power was usurped. Because to my knowledge there is no legislation empowering the President to send troops in to the interior of the nation to take control of private servers and networks.
For that matter I know of no Constitutional power granted to the Congress to pass such legislation.
The people of the United States need to reassert control of their government and start punishing those in government for their intrusions in to person liberty.
Is the source of this article to be believed?
So, let me get this straight. obama signs an order giving himself the authority to order the people's army to go up against the people.
And those who worship him will say "It's for our own good" and "He won't abuse it."
If this true...it is a crock of... The "government" is out of control.
Here's a different article on this
Your freedom further eroded. Secession.
They're pushing us closer and closer, every day. Close the internet to dissent on the right, and secession will become a foregone conclusion.
We're over the edge already. Just waiting on someone to take the first shot...
Your freedom further eroded.
Forming a Committee of safety for your County would be a good idea.
After the election got stolen, I realized I need to re-read Bracken's trilogy, since it's gonna happen more or less as in his books (imho, ymmv etc).
I was hoping Romney would win, so as to buy us time to get more conservatives (aka Constitutionalist) people in Congress and also in State positions.
Alas, it did not happen. So IMHO it is now pedal to the metal destruction. The commie/black racist/islamic/pervert lovers are going to try their very hardest to destroy everything that is good about America, as fast as they can. And the R party is, other than a few worthy exceptions, a bunch of eunuchs or Dem fellow travelers.
There's precisely zero chance of ever FOIAing a newly-classified Top Secret document.
I've expressed that viewpoint frequently over the last several years. Most often, here on FR.
We're living in 'tinderbox' conditions. All it's going to take is the wrong kind of incident to trigger a much larger event. I can see some catalyst event causing several states to simultaneously secede from the union.
Worse, would be a spontaneous breakout of mass hostilities between left and right across the country. There's every chance that some event could trigger that, too.
Open hostilities of that type might even be triggered by a secession of red states. Liberal Dems living in those states would literally fly into a panic, and some would go 'postal'. That, of course, would likely trigger massive retaliation on the part of conservative/patriot/secessionists.
I tell you, we're really sitting on a knife's edge.
I think that goes without saying.
Look at how quiet the regime's been since election day. They've only made such statements as have been completely necessary, such as responses to the unfolding events in Israel. Other than that, and a few threats against Republicans for daring to question Sistah Susan Rice, they've been awfully quiet.
They're up to something. A whole lot of something - I guarantee it.
You're correct.
Just waiting on someone to take the first shot...
History shows that whoever fires the first shot normally loses. I just pray we're smart about these times.
I have noticed that silence and I don't like it at all. I also agree with rdb3's comment.
History shows that a first shot, singular, would be stupid and suicidal. Take away the singular and put in a vast plural, and you might not lose, depending on how smart you were about it, historically speaking, that is, of course.
That's what concerns me most. It only takes one idiot...
That puts people on lists.
I think the first shot was probably fired long ago. Ruby Ridge, Waco, any number of wrong doors being kicked in and innocent people shot, pets killed, etc.
Is it time to go to war yet?
That puts people on lists.>>>>>>>>>>
Yep, and with the Obama Campaigns data base, the census data base ( run out of the white house in 2008)which has GPS locations of every household, each one of us is on a list that shows who we are , where we sleep, and the GPS coordinates for drones and missiles and eaves dropping
via drones.
I'd say we have a federal government now evolving towards a 1 party "democracy."
This is fascism, and its dangerous.The Bill of Rights is out the window.So is the constitution.
transparent or transgender?
The US Congress has abdicated to the incoming
terrorists, and al Qaeda worldwide, giving
THEM money and freedom from DEATHpanels/ObamaCARE.
The US Congress is as useless as third teat on a man.
Welcome to the USSA, comrades.
Not possible.
Russia Today?
"...It only takes one idiot..."
Or one well-paid, well-funded, ideologically-driven "Hope and Changer".
I have a friend that would be sitting in a federal prison right now if he didn't know the right person, because he got through firewalls.
It's entirely possible to get through.
It's possible to get thru but maybe they want you to get in.
Do you think they would have sensitive info that can be accessed from the outside?
Ain't that the truth.
"You" are the idiot. It has already been blamed on you and the media will comply, you just dont know it yet.
"Everybody's got a plan, then you get punched in the face." — Mike Tyson
Yeah the tyrants have big plans, but I take a small tiny comfort in the fact these people are mentally ill erratic nutjobs and often incompetent, compared to smarter more disciplined tyrants in history. But that incompetence, changing stories daily, lying through their propaganda press and bungling their ops like Fast and Furious, Benghazi, or SS shenanigans could very well open us up to a MAJOR terrorist attack. Would not surprise me in the least.
Otherwise these clowns are going to overreach their hand and fumble badly. They are making headway in some of their tyranny sure, but that wouldn't be the case if we had strong Constitutionalists and freedom loving representatives; the larger problem which we all know is the destruction of the rule of law, political correctness, the RINO party and corruption, immorality with too many fat lazy entertained Americans.
I am? Learn something new everyday!
It's a geek site. Nothing we don't already know which is nothing. In normal times this might not be that bad but with Bambi anything he does is suspect and surely illegal.
FEMA Blue Shirts?
My point is exactly yours, that historically speaking a first shot doesn't do any good, but many first shots at the same time, the element of total surprise, horror, and taking out the enemy in quantity before they even know what hit them, done wisely, can do much to win a cause. Historically speaking this has proven very effective, and is the only really intelligent way to begin a take over of a government. Historically speaking usually only the very wicked have had the gall, or stomach to behave in this manner, but it can be very effective, and quite intelligent. Your comment, "This is a revolution and firing first many times leads to victory." is an accurate comment, and actually the same point I was making, historically speaking that is. Of course secrecy, stealth, and the trusting of comrades, usually communistic, has been of utmost importance in these past historical scenarios.
The stealing of the election was the first shot.

Drawing on some themes I explore about the role of the church in providing material assistance in Get Your Hands Dirty, today at Political Theology Today I look at the first parliamentary speech of the new Dutch King Willem-Alexander.
In "The Dutch King's Speech," I argue that the largely ceremonial and even constitutionally-limited monarchy has something to offer modern democratic polities, in that it provides a forum for public leadership that is not directly dependent on popular electoral support. In the Dutch case, the king broached the largely unpopular subject of fundamentally reforming the social democratic welfare state.
This is in rather sharp contrast to the social witness of the mainline of Dutch church leaders, at least over the last few decades. But the churches, too, have a role in acting as makeweights against democratic majoritarian tyranny.

Junos Pulse replacing Network Connect
On July 15, JMU Information Technology replaced the Network Connect client with the Junos Pulse client for connecting to the SSL VPN Access Service (https://sslvpn.jmu.edu). The Pulse client provides compatibility with Apple's Mavericks operating system and aligns better with the Pulse clients for mobile devices (iOS and Android) available via vendor App stores.
The Pulse client is available for download from http://www.jmu.edu/computing/download. It will also be available by logging into https://sslvpn.jmu.edu and selecting the Junos Pulse option from the menu.
Network Connect will still function after July 15, but it is recommended you install the Pulse client at your earliest convenience. After installing Junos Pulse, existing Windows and Macintosh users should uninstall Network Connect.

Oral Questions
September 14th, 2009 / 3 p.m.
Paule Brunelle Trois-Rivières, QC
Mr. Speaker, the Liberals and the Conservatives are responsible for the current crisis with the supply of medical isotopes. The federal government, which is responsible for this crisis, has an obligation to compensate the provinces, which, for the past several months, have had to contend with the disastrous consequences of the incompetence of successive federal governments.
Will the government confirm that it is prepared to welcome any request for financial compensation from the Government of Quebec?
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Leona Aglukkaq Minister of Health
Mr. Speaker, we are working very closely with the provinces and territories on this issue. In fact, I will be meeting with the provincial health ministers this week in Winnipeg to discuss this very issue.
Fisheries and Oceans
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Peter Julian Burnaby—New Westminster, BC
'Mr. Speaker, nine million sockeye salmon vanished during this summer's migration to the Fraser River. A drop of the same magnitude is the collapse of the Atlantic cod, nothing less than a catastrophe, yet the minister has evaded responsibility in taking no effective action.
Courts have clearly ruled that the management of west coast fisheries is a federal responsibility. The government must make it a top priority.
Will the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans convene immediately an emergency summit on salmon in B.C. with all stakeholder groups, including local governments, fishers, first nations, environmental organizations, and put in place an action plan now?
Fisheries and Oceans
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Gail Shea Minister of Fisheries and Oceans
Mr. Speaker, we are concerned about the low return of sockeye salmon in British Columbia. Conservation, I can tell the member, is our number one priority.
I want to inform the hon. member that I was in British Columbia just last weekend and had a meeting with a number of industry stakeholders and we will plan the best way forward from there. I had a round table with them and they presented plenty of ideas for discussion. We will be planning a way forward from discussions with the industry.
Presence in Gallery
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
The Deputy Speaker Andrew Scheer
I draw the attention of hon. members to the presence in the gallery of the Hon. George Prime, Senator and Minister for Carriacou and Petite Martinique Affairs for Grenada.

Jim Flaherty Minister of Finance
Mr. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 83(1) I wish to table a notice of ways and means motion to implement certain provisions of the budget tabled in Parliament on January 27, 2009 and to implement other measures.
I ask that an order of the day be designated for consideration of the motion.

Tony Clement Minister of Industry
Mr. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 109, I have the honour to table, in both official languages, the government's response to the second report of the Standing Committee on Industry, Science and Technology entitled, "A Study of the Crisis in the Automotive Sector in Canada", tabled in the House of Commons on March 31, 2009.
Corrections and Conditional Release Act
Routine Proceedings
3:05 p.m.
Serge Ménard Marc-Aurèle-Fortin, QC
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-434, An Act to amend the Corrections and Conditional Release Act (day parole—six months or one sixth of the sentence rule).
Mr. Speaker, this bill is extremely short. It has only two clauses of less than three lines each because the objective is to obtain the unanimous consent of this House.
I am convinced that all members of this House are against the provisions of the law that allows offenders to be released after serving one sixth of their sentence. We may disagree on other measures. The different parties have a number of suggestions for dealing with white-collar crime. However, if there is one thing everyone agrees on it is this bill. In fact, we could get off to a start by unanimously adopting these provisions tomorrow.
Therefore, I intend to introduce a motion tomorrow to have this bill pass all stages as of tomorrow.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed)
Canada Post
Routine Proceedings
3:10 p.m.
Luc Malo Verchères—Les Patriotes, QC
Mr. Speaker, today I am tabling two petitions calling for the resumption of full Canada Post services in the south end of Sainte-Julie. Eight hundred and forty-seven citizens living in this neighbourhood signed the petition, and 813 signatures have been duly certified.
According to the petitioners, the closing of the Domaine des Hauts-Bois outlet in Sainte-Julie deprives approximately 10,000 people of postal service in the vicinity of their homes and requires them to use a busy road to cross highway 20 in order to take advantage of this public service.
Many people have rightly demonstrated that action is urgently needed in this sector because of a new seniors residence with several hundred units.
Routine Proceedings
3:10 p.m.
Tony Martin Sault Ste. Marie, ON
Mr. Speaker, I have a petition signed by people from all across Canada who are concerned about the growing poverty in our country.
Whereas there are millions of people in Canada who are poor, including both individuals who work and have no work, and the inequality and social exclusion they face prevent them from leading full and productive lives for the good of themselves, their communities and our country, they are asking the Government of Canada and the House of Commons to join the provinces, territories and municipalities in showing leadership by creating and successfully implementing a national poverty plan for our country.
Rights of Employees
Routine Proceedings
3:10 p.m.
David Tilson Dufferin—Caledon, ON
Mr. Speaker, I have a petition signed by over 12,000 former employees of Nortel.
The petitioners call upon Parliament to amend the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act and the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act to protect the rights of all Canadian employees and to ensure that employees laid off by a company receiving pension or long term disability benefits during bankruptcy proceedings obtain preferred creditor status over other secured creditors.
They also call upon Parliament to amend the Investment Canada Act to ensure that employee-related claims are paid from proceeds of Canadian asset sales before funds are permitted to leave the country.
Income Trusts
Routine Proceedings
3:10 p.m.
Paul Szabo Mississauga South, ON
Mr. Speaker, I am proud to present yet another petition on the broken income trusts promise.
The Prime Minister said that there was no greater fraud than a promise not kept. Two elections ago, he emphatically promised that he would never put a tax on income trusts. The Conservative government recklessly broke that promise and imposed a 31.5% draconian tax on income trusts. Independent experts subsequently provided Parliament with clear evidence that the finance minister's decision on income trusts was based on flawed methodology and incorrect assumptions.
I think we have presented well over 10,000 petitions in the House asking the Government of Canada to acknowledge that the financial justification for imposing the tax was flawed, to apologize to Canadians who were unfairly harmed by the reckless broken promise and, finally, to repeal the punitive 31.5% tax on income trusts.
Rights of the Unborn
Routine Proceedings
3:10 p.m.
Leon Benoit Vegreville—Wainwright, AB
Mr. Speaker, today I am pleased to present a petition in which the petitioners note that Canada is a country that respects human rights. It is included in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms that everyone has the right to life. They note that it has been 40 years, since May 14, 1969, when Parliament changed the law to permit abortion. Since January 28, 1988, Canada has had no law to protect the lives of unborn children.
The petitioners call upon Parliament to pass legislation for the protection of human life from the time of conception until natural death.

It's Tuesday, and you know what that means... IBM Announcements!
- IBM System Storage ProtecTIER
Today, IBM refreshed its IBM System Storage ProtecTIER data deduplication family with new hardware and software. On the hardware side, The [TS7650G gateway] now has 32 cores and 64GB RAM. The [TS7650 Appliance] now has 24 cores and 64GB of RAM, and the [TS7610 Appliance Express] has 4 cores and up to 16GB of RAM.
On the software side, all of these now support Symantec's proprietary "OpenStorage" OST API. This applies across the board, from the [Enterprise Edition], [Appliance Edition], and the [Entry Edition]. For those using Symantec NetBackup as their backup software, the OST API can provide advantages over the standard VTL interface.
- IBM Systems Director Storage Control
The second announcement has an interesting twist. I could file this in my "I Told You So" folder. Offiically, it's called the [Cassandra Complex], where you accurately predict how something will turn out, but being unable to convince anyone else of what the future holds.
About ten years ago, I was asked to be lead architect of a new product to be called IBM TotalStorage Productivity Center, which was later renamed to IBM Tivoli Storage Productivity Center. This would combine three projects:
- Tivoli Storage Resource Manager (TSRM)
- Tivoli SAN Manager (TSANM)
- Multiple Device Manager (MDM)
The first two were based on Tivoli's internal GUI platform, and the MDM was a plug-in for IBM Systems Director. I argued that administrators would want everything on a single pane of glass, and that we should bring all the components under a common GUI platform, such as IBM Systems Director. Unfortunately, management did not agree with me on that, and preferred instead to leave each interface alone to minimize development effort. The only "unification" was to give them all similar sounding names, four components packaged as single product:
- Productivity Center for Data (formerly TSRM)
- Productivity Center for Fabric (formerly TSANM)
- Productivity Center for Disk (formerly MDM)
- Productivity Center for Replication (formerly MDM)
While this management decision certainly allowed version 1 to hit the market sooner, this was not a good "first impression" of the product for many of our clients.
In 2002, IBM acquired Trellisoft, Inc. which replaced the internally-developed TSRM with a much better interface, but again, this was different GUI than the other components. A "launcher" was created that would launch the various disparate interfaces for each component for Version 2. At this point, we have different development teams scattered in five locations, with the first two components being developed by the Tivoli software team, and the other two components being developed by the System Storage hardware team.
Often times, when a technical lead architect and management do not agree, things do not end well. The lead architect has to leave the product, and management is forced to take alternative actions to keep the product going. In my case, management considered the idea of a common GUI as an expensive "nice-to-have" luxury we could not afford, but I considered this a "must-have". I moved on to a new job within IBM, and management, unable to continue without my leadership, gave up and handed the entire project over to the Tivoli Software team.
The Tivoli Software team took a whiff at the pile of code and agreed that it stunk. Dusting off my original design documents, they pretty much discarded most of the code and re-wrote much from scratch, with a common database, common app server, and common GUI platform. Unfortunately, Productivity Center for Replication was held up waiting for some hardware prerequisites, but the other three components would be packaged together as "Productivity Center v3 - Standard Edition" and was a big improvement over the prior versions.
In Version 4, TotalStorage Productivity Center was renamed to Tivoli Storage Productivity Center, and the Replication component was brought into the mix. A scaled-down version packaged as Productivity Center "Basic Edition" was made available as a hardware appliance named "System Storage Productivity Center" or SSPC. The idea was to provide a pre-installed 1U-high hardware console that had the basic functions of Productivity Center, with the option to upgrade to the full Tivoli Storage Productivity Center with just license keys.
So, now, years later, management recognizes that a common GUI platform is more than just a "nice-to-have". IBM now support three very specific use cases:
- 1. Administration for a single product
For small clients who might have only a single IBM product, IBM is now focused on making the GUI browser-based, specifically to work with the Mozilla Firefox browser, but any similar browser should work as well. The new IBM Storwize V7000 GUI is a good example of this.In this case, the browser serves as the common GUI platform.
- 2. Administration for both servers and storage devices
For mid-sized companies that have administrators managing both servers and storage, IBM announced this month the new [IBM Systems Director Storage Control v4.2.1] plug-in, which provides Tivoli Storage Productivity Center "Basic Edition" support. This allows admins already familiar with IBM Systems Director for managing their servers to also manage basic storage functions. This is the "I Told You So" moment, connecting server and storage administration under the IBM Systems Director management platform makes a lot of sense, it did when I came up with the idea 10 years ago! Hmmmm?
- 3. Administration for just the storage environment
For larger companies big enough to have separate server and storage admin teams, IBM continues to offer the full Tivoli Storage Productivity Center product for the storage admins. The most recent release enhanced the support for IBM DS8000, SVC, Storwize V7000 and XIV storage systems.
Today, analysts consider IBM's [Tivoli Storage Productivity Center] one of the leading products in its category. I am glad my original vision has finally come to life, even though it took a while longer than I expected.

A press conference was held at BCTC's Newtown campus to talk about the improvements on West Fourth Street as the road opened to two-way traffic Friday, November 22, 2013.
Lexington Mayor Jim Gray called the conference, and Transylvania VP for Finance and Business Marc Mathews; BCTC President Dr. Augusta Julian; District 1 Councilmember Chris Ford; and District 2 Councilmember Shevawn Akers spoke about what the improvements mean to their schools and to the neighborhood.
West Fourth Street is poised to experience a renaissance as investments by the city, state, Bluegrass Community and Technical College, Transylvania University and R.J. Corman Railroad Group have simplified traffic, increased accessibility to the area and improved the campuses of both schools.
"The investments along this corridor will pave the way for continuing improvements," Mayor Jim Gray said.
"The roadway work taking place around the new BCTC campus on Newtown Pike is an example of great cooperation and teamwork between the City of Lexington, the college, and the KY Transportation Cabinet," said James Ballinger, Chief District Engineer. "The Fourth Street portion looks great and will provide better access and enhance the entryway to north Lexington and Transylvania University."
The BCTC Newtown Campus opened for classes in August. A new multi-use trail along Newtown Pike and Loudon Avenue has been constructed and will soon link to the Legacy Trail. Work will continue at the former Eastern State Hospital site for the next few years.
"The Newtown Campus is beautiful with its original iron fence and historical main entrance on Fourth Street," BCTC President Augusta Julian said. "We appreciate the site's history and are committed to repurposing it for educational services that appropriately celebrate the value of this site in the community."
Improving accessibility along Fourth Street will strengthen the connection between Transylvania and the BCTC Newton Campus.
"This area will soon become home to a renewed level of energy and vitality. The new two-way traffic pattern will increase mobility in an area once characterized as remote, isolated and off the beaten path," First District Councilmember Chris Ford said. "It's a great infrastructure win for northwest Lexington."
The city has installed new signals at Jefferson Street with upgraded technology to accommodate the new traffic plan. The city also resurfaced the street to accommodate revised striping to add bike lanes.
"We appreciate this opportunity to collaborate with the various stakeholders along this corridor," said Bob Bayert, city design and construction engineer.

Couldn't hear the start instructions but it wasn't too difficult to follow everybody in front.The course varied from gravel path, tarmac, forest track to 6 inch deep mud and waterlogged water meadow where a herd of cows joined in the race- they were fast and managed 0.5 km easily.Great Marshalling and water half way. Coffee and Tea before and afterwards was excellent. I had hoped to get a medal in the goody bag, but maybe next time.

This summer, Einstein joined other members of The Ashkenazi Genome Consortium (TAGC) in hosting the symposium, "Genetic Research and Discovery in Jewish Populations: Toward Large-Scale Sustainable Efforts." The daylong event paired members of TAGC, an international collaboration of researchers studying the genetics of diseases (including cancer and mental illness) in the Ashkenazi Jewish population, with principal investigators of center grants and large grants at New York-based research institutions and staff members of the National Institutes for Health (NIH).
"The main question that was posed was 'Why study Ashkenazi Jews?'" noted Dr. Gil Atzmon, associate professor of medicine and of genetics, who teamed with Drs. Harry Ostrer, Nicole Schreiber-Agus and Itsik Pe'er to organize the all-day event.
"Our goal in hosting the symposium was to highlight the ways that medical genetics/ personalized medicine might benefit from studies currently involving Ashkenazi Jews and the ways in which researchers working this population might benefit from genetic and genomic research," added Dr. Ostrer, who is professor of pathology, of genetics and of pediatrics at Einstein.
In offering opening remarks, Dr. Allen M. Spiegel, the Marilyn and Stanley M. Katz Dean at Einstein, noted how advances in genomics have allowed for the screening of potential carriers of rare and other heritable disorders and how the advent of "pharmacogenomics" offers avenues for personalizing treatment.
Dr. Ostrer then discussed how genetically homogenous populations, like the Ashkenazi Jews and the Amish, offer particular opportunities for furthering our understanding of some disorders and mutations. He said, "Because they represent an isolated population, they are at increased risk for being carriers of diseases such as Tay-Sachs and Crohn's disease, and have increased prevalence of mutations that increase risk for breast and ovarian cancer. This can be leveraged for research, since the homogenous make-up of genomic information that can be accessed makes it easier to identify the mutations responsible."
In addition to exploring how the study of Ashkenazi Jewish genetics can aid science, the symposium included presentations by investigators conducting other large population studies, including Dr. Robert Kaplan (Einstein) a co-investigator of the Hispanic Community Health Study / Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL) and Dr. Alan Suldiner (University of Maryland), founder of the University of Maryland Amish Research Clinic. And, Dr. Judy Cho (Yale) and Dr. Inga Peter (Mount Sinai) discussed the genetics of Crohn's disease, a type of inflammatory bowel disease that affects genetically susceptible individuals.
Those attending the symposium also took part in discussion groups. Members discussed characteristics essential to building successful research centers, such as the importance of responding to the needs of the community, as well as the need to establish collaborations within academia that allow for harmonization, openness and sharing of data to better leverage existing resources and to obtain competitive funding through private foundations, philanthropists and the NIH.
Dr. Ostrer concluded the event by thanking all participants. "From the information gathered here today, a new research proposal will emerge that will encourage both local efforts as well as shared efforts across institutions."

Champa and Srivalli and all the members were so understanding.They asked me not to fret about not completing the challenge.This blogging, marathon has sort of formed a strong bond within this small blogging community. I have made so many friends ..everyday I hear from atleast one of them enquiring about my hubby's health.Well...when my hubby heard that I was discontinuing he felt bad that I had to leave when I had atlmost finishd 27days of baking and 13 days of BM,He coaxed me to finish saying that one hr a day he could manage. So here I am trying to complete all the marathons and as today is wednesday had to do the BLOG HOP too.
This wednesday I am paired with Kalyani . An amazing blogger and a good friend too. Though I have many recipes bookmarked, decided on this simple recipe and have tweaked the recipe a little
All purpose flour 3/4 cup
Ghee 1/3 cup
Powdered Sugar 1/4 cup
Baking soda 1/4 tsp
Chocochips 3 tbsp
Preheat the oven to 170C
Mix half the ghee and soda till creamy.
Now add the sugar and continue to whisk.
Add the rest of the ghee. Mix well
Put the flour in this and knead well
Now add the chocochips and knead again
Grease a baking tray
Make small balls from this dough, flatten a little and place them apart on a greased tray.
Bake for 15-20 minutes.
Take it out. At this stage they are very soft, do not worry. Cool them for 10 -15 minutes
Now you can see crispy buttery nankhatais ready

During the last week, there was a brief discussion over a certain term which was being used to describe female geeks. The argument for the term is that most females like the colour pink while the argument for states that it is a form of stereotyping as most known female geeks do not like the pink colour or any shade of it.
So we decided to ask the female geeks in our midst – what colour would you rather be known by? And is there really a need for a distinction – a geek is a geek be it male, female or hermaphrodite? So here goes, please fill in the form below and let us know if you think there is need for a distinction.

Skip to comments.Chicago hip-hop war of words turns violent (murder rate up 38%)
Posted on 09/06/2012 7:14:11 AM PDT by Cincinatus' Wife
Chicagos hip-hop community is in a war of words that has escalated into violence, with the shooting death of a teenage rapper.
Tuesday was another night, another homicide in a year in which hundreds of Chicagoans have been gunned down; the murder rate for the years first half is up an alarming 38 percent over last year. This time the victim was Joseph Coleman (18-year-old rapper Lil Jojo). The bicycle-riding teen was slain by a drive-by shooter in his South Side Englewood neighborhood.
His death starkly punctuated a gang-related war of words and music between Jojo and rapper Lil Reese, associated with the biggest new star in Chicago hip-hop, Chief Keef. Jojo recently released a song on-line, 3hunna K that mocked Reese, Keef and their 300 squad, which is associated with a street gang.
Keef took to his Twitter account Wednesday to respond to Jojos death: Its sad cus Jojo wanted to be just like us #LMAO (Internet slang for laughing my ass off"). Chicago police are reportedly investigating a possible connection between the comments and Jojos death.
On Wednesday, Keef went after another Chicago hip-hop artist, Lupe Fiasco, on Twitter. He called Fiasco a hoe among other epithets and vowed that when I see him (Ill) smack him.

Amish out of control
I'm not kidding.
I have been Black for 63years, and all this stuff has me considering joining the Ku Klux Klan.
Obama needs to head back to Chicago permanently in January and community-organize it back to the peaceful, and prosperous pocket of Kumbaya and milk and honey he left in 2008.
Will Obama give a shout-out to these Chicago homies tonight?
More of his "sons."
This happened last night? What were these boys doing out in the streets? Why weren't they watching the convention?
Sounds like they need a community organizer...

All Democrat rule throughout eons of time have created more and more and more social programs that have destroyed the very fabric of the Chicago inner city society. Gangs have replaced fathers.

...."At the heart of the discrepancy may well be a reluctance on the part of educators to report campus crime fully.

There's nothing that can save this generation of black youth from themselves. They are embracing social Darwinism on a grand scale. Let them thin the herd as much as they like. Just make sure you and your neighbors have enough guns and ammo to keep them away from your neighborhood.
Since Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson doen't care about this problem, my "give a damn" is completely busted.
Those are among dozens of recommendations from a state legislative committee that spent the past year and a half looking into why the state's minority youth are less healthy, have lower test scores and are more likely to be incarcerated than other young people.

Hip-hop culture, while having some good points, is largely a cultural disaster for these here United States.

Does anyone actually read the lyrics to a typical Jay Z song?
Nothing that a little midnight basketball and a candlelight vigil peace march won't fix.
Somehow....White folks will get blamed for this
Rap/Hip Hop kills a lot more blacks than any group of white folks ever did

.....probably as much as it stresses some of you to bind a quilt....
I am married to the wonderful guy I met when I was just 15...
he was 17.......and in his first year of University.
We've been married almost 41 years....moved around a LOT.
Our next move will be back to Canada....
closer to the Grandpeeps and our families:)
Quiet don't tell anyone but I have at least 13 sewing machines...
I've kinda lost count...
using a 45 degree angle seam.
You will not be sewing on a cut bias
so no stretching as you join the binding ends.
sometimes narrower depending on the quilting project.
....but some quilters always use bias vs straight of grain especially on
lap and bed size quilts because
difficult to keep an accurate seam allowance.
when you are sewing the binding to your quilt sandwich,
pull that can cause the seam allowance to get narrower.
Your best friend for this will be your walking foot.....
leave a binding tail of about 12"....
and pivot quilt to stitch at an angle through the corner.
remember to stop about 6" from the corner
to mark your 3/8" seam allowance with a pin.
stopping about 18" from where you started.
in the center of the opening.
open it flat and lay it against the fold on the right side...
be careful not to cut the bottom binding.....
use scissors and cut along the right side of the binding
be careful not to twist the binding.
- unpin the pleat to check that your binding isn't twisted
- and the binding is the right length to fit perfectly flat on your quilt
- if it looks good......trim the binding triangle off and press seam open
I hope I was able to ease your fears.
I'll try my best to walk you through it.
please go and visit, she would love to hear from you:)
The winner will be able to choose their gift...
1. The table runner is quilted, bound and ready to gift....or
2. Two charm packs of Lily and Will II....or
3. Visit Crazy Quilt Girl Fabric Shop and if you see 2 charm packs
you can not live without.... let me know which 2 they are.
or say "that is exactly how I bind my quilts" or
Just one comment here on Stash Manicure and
Happy Stitching, Pauline

Parents Say Kids Absolutely Need Electronics, Even Smartphones
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Back-to-school shopping goes far beyond giving kids the supplies they need to hit the ground running when school doors open. It's also a useful study on what parents believe kids need to succeed not just in the classroom, but in life.
With more and more data coming out on what parents prioritize in their school shopping budgets , the evidence is growing that mom and dad view back-to-school shopping as a way to separate their children from the pack and vault them up the line academically so they can snag a good college and an even better career.
The most recent American Express
Start with the average amount of cash parents are spending on back-to-school shopping this year. American Express pegs that at $1,094 -- up from $867 last year. Even given the rate of inflation, a relatively low 2% , spending more than $1,000 on back-to-school supplies is a lot (and helps show why the school shopping season is second only to the Christmas holidays in consumer spending.)
Helping bump up that amount: Consumer electronic devices are up across the board this year in terms of spending percentiles, American Express says:
- Laptops (25% this year vs. 15% last year)
- Scientific calculators (18% this year vs. 15% last year)
- Tablet computers (15% this year vs. 7% last year)
- Mobile phones (13% this year vs. 12% last year)
- e-readers (7% this year vs. 4% last year)
In addition, mom and dad aren't settling for basic cellphones anymore; seven out of 10 parents buying mobile phones for their school-age kids this month are opting for a smartphone.
While mobile phone providers subsidize the upfront cost of a cellphone (its real cost out of the box is between $500 and $700 ), monthly plans for a typical iPhone or Droid start at $40 per month. If you have three school-age kids, and all have smartphones (in addition to mom and dad's phones), the family phone budget can easily crest $350 per month, with other service charges added.
Amex also reports that the age parents deem appropriate for a smartphone purchase is down to 12 this year, a figure that might have grandma and grandpa reaching for the smelling salts -- or at least a stiff martini.
No doubt every parent believes he or she is giving the kids everything they need to succeed in the classroom. Parents are digging deep to do that, with 51% telling Amex they're cutting back on dining out to afford school shopping.

The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

Great Product, Great Price
Posted by Reviewer2147058 on May 20, 2013
I love to make my own raw tahini, using grounded seeds with sesame oil. This product is great. It's a super great price, based on my research. And, the quality of the oil is good too. My family also uses it for "oil pulling," which could be done by either raw / virgin coconut or sesame oil.
Very Satisfied!
Posted by Reviewer2174063 on Jun 12, 2013
I am learning Microbiotic cooking so we often use unrefined sesame oil and it is so expensive here in Japan. Many thanks for this product. I pray that your product will be best selling. I blessed this product. マクロビならっているのでこの油はよく使います。日本で買うと とても高いのでこの商品は祝福してベストにあがるようにお祈りします。
Ideal for oil pulling
Posted by 5519270808374319820 on Jun 26, 2014
The aroma of this oil smells so fresh and authentic, which was missing in a some other brands that I previously tried. I mainly use this for oil pulling, which has helped strengthen my teeth and gum.
Great value

Spider Solitaire, also known as Microsoft Spider Solitaire (Spider in the About box in some versions), is a solitaire card game that is included in Microsoft Windows. It is a version of Spider. As of 2005, it was the most played game on Windows PCs, surpassing the shorter and less challenging Klondike-based Windows Solitaire.
The game was first included as part of Windows 98's Microsoft Plus! package and has been since featured on most subsequent versions of Windows. Spider Solitaire was not included in Windows 2000, but was added to Windows ME and later on Windows XP; the game gained popularity subsequent to its inclusion in the latter. Windows Vista again saw a new version, which was mainly unchanged in Windows 7. Finally, Windows 8 has another updated version available in the Windows Store as part of Microsoft Solitaire Collection but not bundled with the operating system.

Baked Potato Soup
- 4 ounces bacon, small dice
- 1 medium yellow onions, finely chopped
- 5 medium garlic cloves
- 1 medium russet potato, large dice
- 2 medium red potatoes, large dice
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 2 quart (8 cups) chicken stock
- 1 sourdough baguette, cut into1-inch pieces
- 1/2 cup shredded aged cheddar cheese
- Sour cream, for garnish
- 3 green onions, thinly sliced, for garnish
Heat bacon in a large pot over medium-high heat until crisp and fat is rendered, about 7 minutes. Remove bacon to a paper towel-lined plated with a slotted spoon and discard all but 1 tablespoon drippings.
Return pot to stove and add onions and garlic. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and cook until golden, about 2 minutes. Add potato and stir to coat. Add vinegar and scrape up any browned bits. Add stock and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until potato is fork tender, about 20 minutes. Heat oven to 450degreesF and arrange a rack in the upper third.
When soup is ready, ladle into 8- to 12-ounce ovensafe bowls and top with two baguette slices. Pile cheese and bacon on top and repeat to make 4 to 6 servings. Place on a baking sheet and place in oven until cheese is melty and browned, about 5 minutes.
Remove from oven, let cool slightly, top each bowl with a dollop sour cream and a sprinkling of green onions and serve.
