Dean Del Mastro Peterborough, ON
Mr. Speaker, I am proud to rise today in recognition of Peterborough being recognized in a recent survey as the second happiest city in Ontario and seventh happiest overall in Canada.
Home to the world's tallest hydraulic liftlock and the Trent Severn waterway, Peterborough was nicknamed "electric city" when it became the first city in North America to light up electric street lights. That vibrance still drives our beautiful and industrious region to this day, whether in our factories, hockey rinks, performance venues or our outstanding post-secondary institutions.
What has always made me proud of my hometown is its heart and generosity. Nowhere in Canada is the expression that the greatest joy is the one that comes from giving on better display than in Peterborough.
Now the electric city region and Peterborough are happy to share our collective joy with all Canadians. In fact, once we re-establish passenger rail service between Peterborough and Toronto's Union Station, we will have connected one of Canada's happiest cities to Canada's least happy, according to the same survey.
Not to worry Toronto, Peterborough will be only too happy to share the joy along the Shining Waters Railway just as soon as the trains start running.
Oil Tanker Traffic
Statements by Members
2:05 p.m.
Joyce Murray Vancouver Quadra, BC
Mr. Speaker, yesterday a remarkable coalition of B.C.businesses, first nations, environmental groups and fisheries representatives stood side by side with MPs in Ottawa, united in their call for a legislated ban on oil tanker traffic in the Pacific north coast waters.
The notable exception was the 22 Conservatives from B.C. who reject this urgent call, despite the fact that eight of every ten British Columbians support a ban. The government is evidently not in touch with the views of British Columbians. Nor is the government listening to business.
The B.C. Wilderness Tourism Association, representing more than 1,000 of the 56,000 businesses that depend on an unspoiled coastal ecosystem, came to support the ban.
This is not a radical new proposal. For decades governments banned tanker traffic in these dangerous waters. The Conservative government is threatening to break that trust with British Columbians by supporting a crude oil pipeline directly into the heart of one of the world's best-loved wilderness destinations.
Liberal members of Parliament stand with British Columbians in support of permanent protection for the waters surrounding our precious Haida Gwaii.
Guy Rondeau
Statements by Members
2:05 p.m.
Johanne Deschamps Laurentides—Labelle, QC
Mr. Speaker, on October 29, many people in Huberdeau gathered to celebrate the fact that Dr. Guy Rondeau has been practising in their area for 50 years. A small ad that ran in Le Devoir led Dr. Rondeau to this small community in the Laurentians.
There were many pressing needs in this rural region in the 1960s, which meant that this doctor had to wear many hats. His main areas of expertise are surgery, pediatrics, psychiatry and gynecology.
In addition to wearing all of those hats, the doctor had this to say about his other duties: "I was often the ambulance, driving labouring women or victims of car accidents to the hospital. And I also made numerous house calls." He likes to laugh about it now.
For all the patients he has taken care of, all the babies he has delivered, all the services he has provided and his outstanding dedication, I want to join the people of Huberdeau in wholeheartedly thanking Dr. Rondeau and his assistant and wife, Céline Tassé.
Charitable Contributions
Statements by Members
2:05 p.m.
Denise Savoie Victoria, BC
Mr. Speaker, Victoria has some remarkable museums and public galleries, such as the Victoria Art Gallery and the Maritime and Royal BC Museums.
Keystones in communities nationwide, such institutions employ about 25,000 people, receive 60 million visits a year and contribute $650 million in wages, but only 9% of their operational funds come from private donations. The NDP's proposed tax credit for charitable gifts would encourage more Canadians to invest in our heritage.
Another innovative solution is being proposed by the Canadian Museums Association. It is asking Ottawa to match private donations dollar for dollar up to $25 million a year.
I urge the government to back our Bill C-600 and partner with the Canadian Museums Association to give Canadian culture and the arts a more stable financial foundation.
Community Association for Riding for the Disabled
Statements by Members
2:05 p.m.
Bob Dechert Mississauga—Erindale, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to bring attention to CARD, the Community Association for Riding for the Disabled.
The therapeutic benefits of horse riding for those with disabilities have been recognized for over 3,000 years. Therapeutic riding and other safe, purposeful and supervised interaction with horses is medically recognized to benefit children and adults with almost any cognitive, physical or emotional disability. These riders gain meaning, joy and an immense sense of empowerment from their interaction with horses.
CARD is supported by the dedication and commitment of many volunteers. One such volunteer is Barbara Fogler. Barbara is an award-winning dressage rider, supporter of the Canadian Olympic equestrian team and webmaster of barnmice.com.
I would like to congratulate Barbara Fogler and the hundreds of other volunteers who have spent many hours assisting with the Community Association for Riding for the Disabled.
World AIDS Day
Statements by Members
2:10 p.m.
Ruby Dhalla Brampton—Springdale, ON
Mr. Speaker, today, worldwide celebrations are being held to commemorate World AIDS Day.
This morning I had the pleasure to join the co-chairs of the HIV-AIDS and TB caucus to host the first annual parliamentary World AIDS Day breakfast. It was an inspiring morning, with parliamentarians, organizations, advocates and survivors who had gathered to hear many heartfelt speeches.
This year's theme for World AIDS Day is universal access and human rights, a theme that all Canadians can support to ensure that human rights are protected and global targets are met for the prevention, the treatment and the care of HIV and AIDS.
I join all of the HAT caucus members to pay tribute to those who have lost their lives, to the 33 million men, women and children who are currently living with HIV and AIDS and also pay great admiration and respect for the thousands of volunteers, organizations and advocates who are giving people hope for a better future and a brighter tomorrow.
The Economy
Statements by Members
2:10 p.m.
Lee Richardson Calgary Centre, AB
Mr. Speaker, last week, the international trade committee visited our counterparts in the European Parliament to promote new markets and a free trade agreement with the European Union. The reception we received made me proud to be a Canadian.
Canada is a recognized world leader. The vision and leadership of our Prime Minister has fostered new trade agreements, expanded Canadian markets and stimulated economic growth.
Recently the Wall Street Journal noted:
Under [the Prime Minister]'s leadership Canada has avoided the worst of the global recession and emerged with a vibrant banking system and a strong currency...
The Globe and Mail said:
Canada has won global praise for its economic outlook and its handling of public finances, which has drawn investors into the Canadian dollar, which puts [Canada's the Prime Minister] in a strong position to give advice.
Countries around the world have acknowledged and praised this advice and the direction of Canada's economic and foreign policies.
Folk Music Awards
Statements by Members
2:10 p.m.
Pierre Paquette Joliette, QC
Mr. Speaker, the sixth annual Folk Music Awards gala was held on Saturday, November 20, in Winnipeg. Several Quebec artists were honoured, including Yves Lambert for his album Bal à l'huile, which won the traditional singer of the year award. Yves Lambert was, of course, one of the founding members of La Bottine Souriante and the Bébert Orchestre.
The ensemble of the year award went to Quebec's Le Vent du Nord for its album La part du feu. I should note that Yves Lambert and Le Vent du Nord are from the Lanaudière region.
To prove that I am not biased, I would also like to mention the songwriter of the year award, which went to a third Quebec artist, Francis d'Octobre, for his album Ma bête fragile.
I would like to take this opportunity to remind the government that awards do not pay the bills for artists and other creators, who are entitled to fair compensation for their work. That is why Bill C-32 needs major changes.
World AIDS Day
Statements by Members
2:10 p.m.
Lois Brown Newmarket—Aurora, ON
Mr. Speaker, today is World AIDS Day, a time to remember those who live with and are affected by HIV and AIDS and to reflect upon those who have lost their lives to this devastating disease.
Our government has committed to a comprehensive long-term approach to HIV and AIDS in Canada and around the world. This year alone, we are investing over $72 million domestically in HIV and AIDS. As well, our government has provided more than $640 million over the past four years to help prevent the spread of the virus and provide support to those living with HIV-AIDS in developing countries.
In addition, the Canadian HIV vaccine initiative, led by our government along with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, highlights Canada's world-class HIV and vaccine research expertise.
I ask that members join me today in wearing a red ribbon to raise awareness and to show our support for those affected by HIV and AIDS.
Prime Minister
Statements by Members
December 1st, 2010 / 2:10 p.m.
Bernard Patry Pierrefonds—Dollard, QC
Mr. Speaker, this is the first time I have risen in this House to congratulate the Prime Minister. The Conservative caucus is very proud of the Prix de la noirceur that the Prime Minister received from the Fédération professionnelle des journalistes du Québec.
When it comes to keeping people in the dark, the Prime Minister is in a class of his own, joined only by the grand master, Maurice Duplessis.
Journalists rewarded the Prime Minister for his life's work, which includes obstruction, muzzling journalists, prohibiting questions, deceit and intimidation, witch hunts in the public service and political interference in access to information requests.
The Conservative government has quite a record when it comes to keeping people in the dark. Their promises of transparency have gone up in smoke, and that smoke is shrouding the Prime Minister in darkness and obscurantism.
Consumer Product Safety
Statements by Members
2:15 p.m.
Jacques Gourde Lotbinière—Chutes-de-la-Chaudière, QC
Mr. Speaker, today our government announced changes to the Hazardous Products Act. These new regulations will protect babies in their cribs, cradles and bassinets. Our government is committed to helping parents protect the health and safety of our children.
Canada's requirements for cribs and cradles are among the most stringent in the world. However, there is always rooms for improvement. At present, bassinets are not subject to any regulations in Canada, and that must change.
That is why our Conservative government introduced regulations today to strengthen requirements for cribs, cradles and bassinets. These new regulations deal with their construction, as well as their flammability, side height and pinching hazards. These regulations will make all cribs, cradles and bassinets sold in Canada safer. Our government puts Canadian families first.
Access to Medicines
Statements by Members
2:15 p.m.
Chris Charlton Hamilton Mountain, ON
Mr. Speaker, today is World AIDS Day, and in communities such as Hamilton, grandmothers are gathering in support of Bill C-393. The purpose of this bill is to ensure that life-saving medicines reach those who need them most. By simplifying the export of cheap, generic, antiretroviral drugs to the countries of sub-Saharan Africa, this bill literally could turn the tide of HIV-AIDS.
Sadly, a few weeks ago, the Liberal opposition teamed up with the Conservative government to gut Bill C-393. In committee, the Liberal-Tory coalition stripped the most critical element, the one-licence provision, from the bill.
While I try to avoid excessive partisanship, this is a profoundly partisan matter. There is no sugaring the pill: across Africa, people are dying from preventable diseases. Children are dying from treatable illness. They desperately need the medicines we have and they need them now.
I urge my Liberal and Conservative colleagues to do the right thing. There is no downside. By restoring the one-licence solution and passing the bill immediately, millions of lives can be saved. Brand-name companies will receive royalties for their intellectual property, and generic drug companies will increase their capacity and employment, all without costing Canadian taxpayers a dime.
Rarely do we as MPs have such personal power to save millions of lives. Let us use that power wisely.
Walk A Mile in Her Shoes
Statements by Members
2:15 p.m.
Rick Dykstra St. Catharines, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to speak about an innovative North American project that involves ending violence against women. In our united quest to end violence against women, the involvement of men and boys is significant.
Since 2001, men from across Canada and the United States have boldly stepped into a pair of stilettos to "Walk a Mile in Her Shoes" to stop violence against women.
I respectfully request all of my colleagues to participate in this event in their communities. It is organized by the YWCAs across our country. YWCA Canada advocates improving the lives of women and girls. One of its top priorities is to stop violence against women.
Together, women and men, boys and girls, we can and will end violence against women and improve the quality of life for all Canadians in communities across the country.
Yes, Mr. Speaker, I have done the walk in my riding, and I did it in a pair of stilettos.

Luc Malo Verchères—Les Patriotes, QC
Mr. Speaker, the face of HIV-AIDS has changed dramatically in 20 years and, although treatment, particularly triple therapy, now allows those suffering from this disease to live longer, this epidemic is not yet a thing of the past.
According to the Institut national de santé publique du Québec, 18,000 people in Quebec are infected but 25% of them are unaware that they have an infection. In addition, one quarter of newly infected individuals are between the ages of 45 and 54, and, according to the Clinique médicale l'Actuel in Montreal, newly infected individuals over the age of 50 could represent close to 50% of its clients by 2017.
In order to change society's perception of this disease and reduce the isolation and stigmatization experienced by those suffering from it, phenomena that are only accentuated by the fact that these individuals are aging, this week, COCQ-SIDA launched a campaign entitled "And if I were seropositive?" involving four Quebec celebrities. The organization thus invites us to think about whether we would question the talent of these celebrities if we knew that they were seropositive.
The battle against HIV-AIDS is far from over. On World AIDS Day, it is more important than ever to raise awareness and focus on prevention of this disease so that we can finally put an end to prejudice.

Interactive Travel Map | Text the Secretary | Behind the Scenes PhotosYesterday, Secretary Clinton spoke with local reporters in Kinshasa.
In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Secretary Clinton spoke with Jaldeep Katwala of Radio Okapi and Christian Lusakueno of Raga TV. The Secretary called for a greater commitment by the Congolese government to human rights and an end to sexual and gender-based violence.
During her interview with Jaldeep Katwala of Radio Okapi, Secretary Clinton said, "The Congolese Government, of course, came out of many years of war, and that is very destabilizing to societies and very often human rights are considered a luxury during a wartime. But there are no excuses any longer, and there has to be more expected from the government here. The United States and other countries, as well as the United Nations, stand ready to assist the government in taking actions to both promote human rights, including women's rights, and to punish violators of human rights and women's rights. But there needs to be much more action and a greater commitment from the government."
In her interview with Christian Lusakueno of Raga TV, the Secretary said, "There has to be an agreement in the region to end the violence in eastern Congo... There has to be an end of the paying of the militias by mineral interests and other interests that buys impunity and gives these militias the free rein to terrorize people. And sexual and gender-based violence must be condemned. It must be condemned by everyone in every part of society. People need to be not only ashamed if they commit rape and other sexual violence, but they need to be arrested and prosecuted and punished so that it serves as a strong message that this will not be tolerated. We are working with your military, we are working with your government, and we are also working with the victims to provide the medical care and the support that the victims of these traumatic attacks so desperately need."
Read more from the Secretary's trip to Africa.
Susan in California writes:
I am very grateful to Secretary Clinton and proud of the courage and commitment she is showing to women by speaking up for them in the face of an Africa dominated by the belief in the superiority of males. Her lifetime of hard work is paying off for all of us. Without a woman in the role of Secretary of State, the open discussion of rape in the DRC and the political pressure to alleviate this holocaust against women simply would not happen.
Olimar in Washington DC writes:
I applaud Clinton's efforts of trying to improve the quality of life in Congo. The situation that women and girls have to endure every day is simply dreadful. I just hope that more than interviews and meetings, these efforts can translate into real actions that will favorably impact the live of the citizens of Congo and other African nations.
Patrick in Maryland writes:
I can't believe its tuesday already. I have been keeping up with Secretary Clintons travels. I think Johnnie Carson has been doing a great job, planning and help as sort of a guide for this trip/visit to Africa. I have seen some parts of Africa that have advanced in the past few years, with new housing, better hospitals and new technologys.
It is also good to hear the United Nations is working for a peaceful end to the problems of parts of there country. I think Susan Rice and her friends at the UN are working for a better future for the people of Africa. I hope in time they will be able to bring peace to Africa.
....Have A Nice Week, Netizen of the Department Of States.
............Cya....:) "Have A Great Trip".
Ron in New York writes:
Hillary and Africa....
There is no doubt that the people of the United States are fortunate to have Hillary Rodham Clinton as Secretary of State. No one is as knowledgable on Human Rights issues facing women, men and children, in regions where corrupt men rule, and rob resources from their own citizens. In Africa, the critical challenge remains in establishing transparency, accountability and good governance. Hillary has her eye trained sharply on these matters, and her hand
set firmly on this agenda.
Suzanne in Maine writes:
Dear Madame Secretary: Good for you ! You are indeed the Secretary of State and I applaud your response in the Congo.No one should be scrambling to apologize for what you said.You looked great and you were right .Healthy indignation is what it looked like to me, and quite appropriate. all the best,Suzanne Tenney Sutter Augur
Buuma in Canada writes:
It is important that Secretary Clinton has had an opportunity to meet with the victimized people in Congo, particularly the surviving raped women. My expectation is that Clinton will be an eye witness of the chaos Congolese have been through for more than a decade and will therefore be a strong voice against any further criminal plots by international firms, foreign governments and forces as well as their accomplices in DRC on civilians for economic, political and territorial benefits.
It is time for Africa-the DRC in particular- to move forward with durable peace and development for the sake of its citizens. It is time as well that powerful countries STOP watching and directly/indirectly supporting millions of deaths and rapes in Africa and other developing countries; time to seek domestic and international democracy-not just one way.
Thumbs up to the Obama administration for your inclusive peace politics - good job Clinton, I like when you cite countries in name and speak out against bad governance, people of Africa deserve better life and governments that work for them.
David in Zambia writes:
I'm a young Zambia willing to lead a team of new men and women in Zambia so that we could help bring the type of governance your government has been preaching for Africa for so long. I have been educated from both the east and the west and I have put forward a collection of ideas about how Africa can move along the right path. I have picked Zambia because it is my native country and would naturally therefore like to see it as an example for the rest of Africa.
Please visit our site: http://www.myzanc.com to review what how we intend to bring about positive change. The purpose of the email is to ask your guidance and help in bringing about the governance we have heard you advocate. If these ideas are far fetched and you think Zambia and Africa cannot be redeemed, please let us know and if it is not too much trouble, append a note outlining the reasons.
To say the truth, we need this in Zambia and we believe a change is possible. The RATS (Rotten Activities Tormenting Society) are cripping in all sectors of our civil society and we are afraid before long anarchy will break loose.
Is there anyone out there hearing the cry of the people of Africa? The people are fine but the leaders are killing us.
Davis Simete

I find I frequently have Puerh left over after a steeping session. Is there a way to keep it fresh and reuse it, say in 8-10 hours? Would refridgeration work?
I share sooo many cups with the people at work.... I use a good bit of tea in the pot and adjust my steeping times accordingly.
At home I use less tea (and make a pitcher of iced tea after).
I obviously need to get a scale!
Thanks again for the help and patience,

Take a look at the comparison table for Thinfinity® Remote Desktop editions.
General description:
The architecture for a Thinfinity® Remote Desktop Workstation deployment is composed of:
- a Server Machine running Thinfinity® Remote Desktop Workstation
- Thinfinity® Remote Desktop Web Client
(which loads on an HTML5 browser)
Thinfinity® Remote Desktop Workstation acts as a secure, high-performance HTTP / WebSockets server, which serves the web pages needed to run the Thinfinity® Remote Desktop Web Client on the web browser.
When the end-user accesses the Thinfinity® Remote Desktop main page and enters the appropriate connection parameters, the Thinfinity® Remote Desktop Web Client communicates with the server machine, using Ajax and WebSockets (if available) to start the connection to the remote-end.
Once the connection is established, the server machine will receive RDP commands, optimize them for the web, and send the resulting data stream to the Thinfinity® Remote Desktop Web Client.
Thinfinity® Remote Desktop Editions
There are two Thinfinity® Remote Desktop editions: Server and Workstation.
Both editions take advantage of the HTML5 Web browser technology to deliver high-performance RDP access, using only web standards like Ajax, WebSockets and JSON.
The Workstation edition offers a plain web-based RDP client ideal for virtualization scenarios and remote acecss to single PCs. It also features a second remote access option, VNC-like, for screen sharing. The Workstation edition is ideal for remote assistance and training: its Presentation Tool permits to organize remote meetings with up to 16 atendees..
The Server is a more appropriate solution for Terminal Server environments, large deployments requiring profile management and to publish applications, granting access to a single app instead of sharing the whole desktop.
Besides, the Server Edition of Thinfinity® Remote Desktop includes an SDK library that allows you to publish Windows applications and desktops to the web. This SDK library makes possible the smooth integration of your own Website or application with other existing Windows applications.
Choose one of them or take both -for different use cases!

Sometimes looking good is difficult when you're struggling to carry luggage, stick to a schedule or relax next to the guy who's snoring loudly on the plane. However, keeping up your appearance can help you feel more confident about yourself, and you never know who you might meet on the way! Here are a few ways you can ensure a flawless look while you're en route to your next destination
1. Pack a refreshing facial mist. Many mineral-enhanced complexion mists can deliver your skin the hydration it needs while giving you vital nutrients. They can also set your makeup and make your skin look dewy and glowing. Not to mention - the spritz feels great!
2. Don't forget your blinc cosmetics. Tube mascara, liquid eyeliner and eyebrow mousse are musts, as they really help to enhance your eyes and boost your overall appearance - without the fuss of other products. Plus, you know they'll stay put all day, so touch-ups in that tiny airplane bathroom are a thing of the past.
3. Bring an all-in-one beauty product. As for your cheeks, lips and eyelids, one product is really all you need to give yourself a fresh face. Choose a peachy-pink stain or some kind of cream bronzer to provide all of these areas with a pop of color.

Jefferson and Varina Davis, their daughter Margaret, her children, and a servant, 1885 Library of Congress
A recent biographer has written that "throughout her life, Sarah Anne
Ellis Dorsey sought to combine the routines of a typical plantation lady
with a sense of feminine intellectuality which superior learning and
wealth made possible." Born in Natchez to wealthy and influential
parents, she experienced the best of what life in the Old South had to
offer. Her romanticized view of the antebellum period would later lead
to her connection with Jefferson Davis and the Lost Cause that he came
to represent.
Sarah Ellis married Samuel Worthington Dorsey in 1853, and between 1862 and 1877 she wrote six novels and one nonfiction work, Recollections of Henry Watkins Allen (1866). The Dorseys moved to Beauvoir on the Mississippi Gulf Coast in 1873 because of Samuel's health. He died in 1875.
In December 1876 Sarah Dorsey met Jefferson Davis and invited him to consider coming to Beauvoir to work on his memoirs. He accepted the offer the next month and began dictating Rise and Fall
to Dorsey in February 1877. Davis was at her bedside in New Orleans two
years later when she died. Dorsey left Beauvoir to him in her will.
For more information on Sarah Dorsey, see the chapters about her in Bertram Wyatt-Brown, The House of Percy: Honor, Melancholy, and Imagination in a Southern Family (1994).

Investigation of 787 Dreamliner Issues to Focus on Batteries

The 787 Dreamliner's charred battery
(Source: nycaviation.com)
The battery will be sent to Tokyo for a deeper inspection
An opening investigation into
the safety of Boeing's 787 Dreamliner
is complete, and with the focus primarily on the 787's battery, more safety checks are on the way.
Boeing, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and Japanese officials have completed their initial investigation into the 787's battery problems in recent weeks. A battery that was involved in this week's incident will be sent to Tokyo for further investigation.
A Japanese safety official mentioned that the battery associated with this week's incident was charred, and that excessive electricity could be the reason it overheated. The battery looked like a burnt metal box that had liquid spilling from the inside.
Boeing uses rechargeable lithium-ion batteries for its main electrical system. GS Yuasa Corp., which makes the lithium-ion batteries used in the 787s, said the problem could be the battery, the power source or the electronics system.
Just this week,
a 787, which was an All Nippon Airways (ANA) flight to Tokyo, had an issue with its main battery only 15 minutes into a 90-minute flight. After 40 minutes, a burning smell made its way into the cabin and cockpit, and the plane made an emergency landing at Takamatsu Airport on the southern island of Shikoku.
This issue
caused all 787s to be grounded
in Japan, the U.S. and India until a safety investigation was conducted and the problems were corrected.
Unfortunately, this incident isn't where the 787's problems started. Early last week,
a 787
operated by Japan Airlines
experienced an electrical fire
at Boston's Logan International Airport
after coming in from Tokyo. According to the National Transportation Safety Board, a battery in the auxiliary power unit suffered severe fire damage.
Just one day later, a Boeing 787 operated by the same airline at the same airport suffered a fuel leak. The fuel leak was discovered at 12:25 p.m. ET right after the 787 left the gate for a trip to Tokyo. The flight was cancelled, and the plane was towed back to the gate where passengers were instructed to exit and stay in the airport. No one was injured.
As it turns out, about 40 gallons of fuel had leaked from the 787. The plane ended up being delayed four hours before leaving for Tokyo.
On Friday of last week,
two more issues occurred
It was discovered that a 787 Dreamliner with All Nippon Airways (ANA), which had arrived at the Matsuyama airport in western Japan from Tokyo on Friday, developed a web-like crack in the cockpit window. The pilot found it about 70 minutes into the flight, but no one was injured. In a separate incident on Friday, but also with ANA, another 787 Dreamliner had an oil leak after traveling to the Miyazaki airport in southern Japan. It is unclear how much oil had leaked.
"We shipped it on Saturday. Then on Sunday, we rested." -- Steve Jobs on the iPad launch

From London & Rochester: Light on Pregnancy Disorder Hyperemesis Gravidarum
When the news broke this week that Prince William's wife Kate Middleton is suffering from a rare pregnancy disorder called Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG) I instantly felt nauseous.
Oh Kate! I thought, it's hell, isn't it?
I know what HG is like because I have been there.
As awful as I feel for Kate, though, I am hopeful that her suffering might shed more light and research on this oft misunderstood and diagnosed disorder.
Everyone has heard of "morning sickness," but HG is not even close – it is like "all the time sickness." It is not confined to the morning or to the first few weeks of pregnancy and can cause death to the mother and to her unborn baby.
I had severe HG when I was pregnant with my first son Brice, now 7. I lost twenty pounds during my
first trimester and spent a good portion of the pregnancy in the hospital on IV medications, nutrition and fluids because I could not even keep water down orally. I could not eat, drink, work, work out, read (reading made the nausea worse), travel, etc.
And, I was lucky! Not every woman who has HG has a baby, or healthy baby, at the end. Marlena Schoenberg Fejzo, the doctor leading research on HG, lost her second baby to complications from HG at fifteen weeks. She tells her story here on a You Tube video.
My HG was not as severe with my second child Brady, 4, but I did need to take anti-vomiting and nausea medications that are used to treat chemotherapy patients from the day of my positive pregnancy test until he was born.
And, Brady was born with health complications that persist to this day. I have asked myself many times, could the potent medications I needed to preserve my pregnancy with Brady led to his issues? I don't know.
There is currently no known cause of HG, but researchers at UCLA are working hard to identify risk factors, propensity of it returning with subsequent pregnancies, implications on babies born to mothers that had HG and, hopefully, one day a cause and cure.
I am one of 764 women from across the country that has had HG and has given my DNA to USC for research (it was extremely easy – just a mouth swab)
I am also one of 1317 women that have had HG that has allowed the research team full access to my health and pregnancy records and participated in a phone survey and online survey about HG.
There is no payment or compensation to participate in any of this research, my motivation is to help raise awareness of HG and find a cause and cure.
The team still needs participants, though, and you do not have to have had HG to do so! Researchers need women who have given birth at least twice, but who have NOT had HG to serve as part of the control group. My very generous friend Liz did this and I so appreciate it.
You can also participate if you have had HG that required medical treatment including IV hydration, TPN, or not oral feeding (or both)
If anyone is interested in learning more about the research and volunteering please visit this website or email email@example.com or call 310-210-0802.

Health Watch/Portage Health/Dr. Stacey Carpenter, Family Medicine
Lyme disease is the most common tick-borne disease in the United States. In Michigan, there is an incident rate of about 1 per 100,000 residents. The incidence of Lyme disease is 30 times higher in our closely neighboring state, Wisconsin.
Lyme disease has been in the news more than usual this year, as the population of ticks is thought to be expanding in some areas of Michigan. I have recently been seeing an increase of patients with complaints of tick bites, and questions regarding Lyme disease.
The disease is spread only by blacklegged ticks, formerly known as deer ticks (Ixodes species), that are infected with the disease. These ticks are brown in color and the size of a poppy/sesame seed, or the tip of a pencil. Infected ticks have to be attached to their host (deer, human, etc.) and feed for the disease to be transmitted to the host. Typically the tick would have to be attached for 24 hours, and feed for an additional 36-to-48 hours before disease transmission occurs. Ticks will become engorged, or full of blood, after they have fed.
Initial symptoms of Lyme disease include rash and/or flu-like symptoms. The rash can occur several days after the tick bite, but can appear up to one month after. The rash is normally described as a "bull's eye" rash, because it is often salmon/red in color with a central clearing. Flu-like symptoms consist of fever, chills, fatigue, weakness, headache, and muscle/joint pain. If the disease progresses without treatment there can be neurological, joint, heart or brain involvement.
The number one way to prevent Lyme disease is to prevent tick bites. I don't expect residents of the Keweenaw to avoid our densely wooded areas where the ticks are found. Instead, take precaution. Try to stay in the middle of trails, dress accordingly, and do your due diligence after leaving the woods to check for ticks.
Dressing accordingly includes close-toed shoes or boots, a long-sleeved shirt tucked into your pants, and pants tucked into socks. Light-colored clothing will also make the ticks easier to spot. Insect repellant should be worn. While in the woods, check yourself frequently for ticks. Once out of the woods, examine yourself and your clothing closely. Ticks prefer warm moist areas such as armpit, groin and the back of knees, but often can be found on the scalp as well. It's important to bathe as soon as you can after leaving the woods, hopefully ticks will be washed away before they have a chance to attach.
If a tick is attached, care should be taken to remove it. Do not try to burn, twist or smother the tick.
Use pointed tweezers (not your hands) to grasp the tick as close to the skin surface as possible. Do not crush the body of the tick.
Pull the tick straight out with slow, steady pressure.
Wash the area where the tick was, and your hands, with soap and water immediately after removal.
If part of the tick remains in the skin, medical attention is not required as the remaining parts are usually expelled on their own. Do not attempt to remove the remaining parts.
After removing the tick, pay attention to the skin where it attached. Also, remember only the smaller, blacklegged species of ticks can cause Lyme disease. Medical attention should be sought if a person experiences a rash or flu-like symptoms.

In short: One of the best organised/value/pb potentail races aroundIn full: The race continues, unsurprisingly, to grow each year and is coping well year after year. Lliswerry runners, marshalls, volunteers some of the happiest and smiliest around. Almost pancake flat route,, great benchmark for speed training, marathon build up stage checking.

Kingsford eyes impact of business tax reform
By JIM ANDERSON
News Editor
KINGSFORD – City officials in Kingsford continue to review the implications of personal property tax reform legislation signed into law by Gov. Rick Snyder at the end of 2012.
At a city council meeting Monday, council member Brian Smeester said the city could see revenue reductions beginning in 2014, but the amount is uncertain. Smeester's understanding is that the loss could range from $30,000 to $179,000, although no firm calculation is in place for either the tax reduction or potential replacement revenue.
Under the legislative package, personal property taxes are reduced or exempted depending on several factors. Mechanisms are also provided to potentially replace part of the lost revenue.
Additionally, the package is contingent on voter approval of a use tax reallocation during the August 2014 election.
Generally, personal property is property that is not affixed to a structure, such as machinery, equipment and furniture. Most states that border Michigan, including Wisconsin, already exempt personal property from taxation.
In 2012, commercial personal property and industrial personal property amounted to about 6.4 percent of the total taxable value in Michigan, according to a Michigan Senate Fiscal Agency report.
The agency also notes that while industrial and commercial personal property represents a small portion of the tax base for most taxing jurisdictions, in some local units it can represent a significant portion of the tax base.
In other action Monday, the Kingsford council:
– Scheduled a public hearing for 6:45 p.m. Monday, March 18, on a home-based business permit request from Scott Person at 537 Avery Ave. The requested use is for internet and gun show firearm sales, as regulated by state and federal law.
– Approved a resolution saluting Don Edens, who is stepping down from the Kingsford Housing Commission after 40 years of service.
– Accepted City Manager Tony Edlebeck's recommendation to appoint Tom St. Louis as a new member of the Kingsford Housing Commission for a five-year term.
– Conducted a hearing on its application for a Rural Development grant of $6,000 to assist in acquiring a new public safety patrol vehicle and related equipment. There were no public comments.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Far too hilly.In full: Well organised, but too hilly for me.Date of review: February 10, 2013
In short: Another jolly good showIn full: Fills a winter half marathon void with style.Date of review: January 6, 2013
In short: 10 hours and still no results? Not good.In full: Good event.However, really not sure whether I am being completely unreasonable to expect that results would be available a hell of a lot sooner. Where are they?I know you've got to wait 24 hours on x- factor, but it was chip timed for gawd's sake. Come on organisers sack the company that has let you down and do it by hand next year.... It's very frustrating.Anyway, apart from that little fit of childlike frustration I did enjoy it. A lot.Date of review: December 26, 2012
In short: A good un!In full: Great course diversity, well organised. Plus, it was near Liverpool and my car was neither stolen nor burgled.Can't get much better than that!Date of review: May 7, 2012
In short: Go on, kill me why don't you!In full: What a great event! Best organised event I've ever been to. Friendly, tough, scenic!If only the last 385 yards were not, ahem, 700, and the clock 8 secs wrong, it would have been perfect.My triumphant sprint for the line was all in vain!... And now I am in tears as I stare, legs throbbing, disbelieving at the cruel results. 2.59.58 has become 3.00.06. They may as well have mown me down with a combine harvester and tossed my broken body into the lake.But who cares, a marathon is meant to be torture!!! It was truly memorable for lots of wonderful reasons. Stewards especially were magic! Thanks.Ps, hills are evil, they must be stopped.Date of review: May 22, 2011
In short: A hard run, a great event!In full: Wow! A warm, friendly, brilliantly organised event. Is it a marathon, Or an athletics event (four different races), a local fete or family day out. Actually, it's all of this and more. Colin Jackson gives out the prizes, Tracey Morris runs in the half, there's all the facilities of a big-city marathon and it runs like clockwork.It's a beautiful course (apart from the last 4 miles), and we got lucky with the weather, so a late summer tan came with it.There's no mountains to run up, but those roads roll up and down, up and down....it's a serious challenge. Mentally and physically tough, but not a killer. Outside of the London Marathon, I've not been to a better one in this country.Date of review: September 22, 2008
In short: Highlight of a Cornish holiday!In full: Good race!Organisation absolutely superb!!! Masses of marshalls showing you the way, swift results on the board etc etc. It just has a great feeling about it.Not sure about the new course - I have fond memories of the monster hills! Date of review: August 3, 2008
In short: A pleasant saturday afternoon raceIn full: Friendly, generally well organised race. Fairly flat course. Sadly (happily) the runners were taken down the wrong road which made it 4.66 miles on my Garmin. Never mind, same for everyone...the unexpected finish was a welcome break for my tiring body. If only all finishes felt like that!Date of review: July 20, 2008
In short: Postcode Nightmare!!!!In full: Great event, can't fault it....erm, well apart from what seems like an absolute howler with the venue address. If you are going to place the postcode on the entry form in large bold letters, then some poor sod is going to type it into their satnav, or into multimap and then arrive 30 mins before the start, only to find they are half of cheshire away.How can I be so sure this will happen? Erm, guess.Anyway...mistakes happen. We got there with 10 mins to spare and hared off down the road to make the start line with 30 secs to spare. a great way to warm up!Everything else, however, was almost perfect!!! Would recommend it.Date of review: March 2, 2008
In short: Not many races like this one!In full: Why not take the chance to do a real urban run? Not an overhyped fun run like the Manchester 10K, not a rural bore like Wilmslow. No! Swinton is real road and pavement, dual carriageway, terraced houses and urine splashed underpasses...not known for their running, but LS Lowry or Morrissey would have chosen this one.Date of review: September 26, 2006

Man faces charges after traffic stop
MARQUETTE – A Gwinn man pleaded not guilty Tuesday to three charges that stem from a traffic stop arrest Monday night in Marquette.
Sean David McNamara, 26, is charged with operating a vehicle with a suspended license, second offense, possession of marijuana with intent to deliver and resisting and obstructing police. He is scheduled for a preliminary hearing at 3:45 p.m. Jan. 25 in Marquette County District Court. Bond on the first charge was set at 10 percent of $20,000 and 10 percent of $2,500 on the two additional charges.
The Marquette City Police Department reports the incident occurred at 9:55 p.m. Monday when police pull over a car McNamara was allegedly driving south on U.S. 41 South near Van Epps Place. The traffic stop was for minor traffic violations.
Police said McNamara pulled over shortly after the officer activated his emergency lights. Once stopped, McNamara allegedly existed the driver's side of the vehicle and fled the scene. Police said they chased McNamara on foot and eventually apprehended him. The arresting officer deployed his Tazer while McNamara was allegedly climbing over a guard rail. He was taken into custody without incident.
A Marquette police K-9 unit was dispatched to the scene and a search of the suspect vehicle located a quantity of marijuana and paraphernalia, police said.
A female passenger remained in the vehicle when McNamara allegedly fled. After being interviewed by police, the female subject was released from the scene.

Gun hysteria
To say that guns kill people is like saying forks make people obese. Neither addresses the underlying cause(s).
In my opinion, the corporate media is exploiting the tragic death of children and bombarding us daily with gun ban hysteria to promote fear and empathy so that our corporate U.S. government will not only be able to win support in its efforts to eventually ban all guns and ammunition, but ban our authority over the government, which we created to defend our rights, liberty and property.
Our founders were well aware that if citizens were not armed, they would be at the mercy of tyrannical monarchs, dictators and state or religious governments. Without the 2nd Amendment, how would you defend yourself, your family, property, state and the nation. Do you think tyrants will give you rights, liberty, equality, justice and freedom.
Where are the debates about the sociological root causes of crime, a society in decay, the lack of Judeo-Christian values, of morality, disassociation, self-esteem, mental health, and who teaches our young people right from wrong. Who argues that our children are being desensitized to violence and death by the media consistently promoting violent movies, music and games, or that both illegal and prescription mood-altering, anti-depressant, etc. drugs play a role.
The government did not stop drinking during Prohibition. It has not stopped illegals from entering the country, or the use of illegal drugs, and a ban on guns won't stop mass public shootings. The black market always exists, and does armed guards in schools mean that we leave churches, malls, day-care center, supermarkets and Wally-World unprotected. Gun free zones only mean that the area is safe for the perpetrator, not the victims.
The nation was founded on violence, built on violence, and it exports violence in the form of weapons and war.
It's amazing how we have the uncanny ability to address effects, but not causes, and after all these centuries of accumulated knowledge and wisdom, man is still a predator.

That is amazing - thank you for sharing. Wasn't there a trip planned to Maastrich?? ;-)ReplyDelete
Well the apsis I can live with but the church ships? That is a pure sin, someone did not understand the slightest sliver of what gothic architecture is all about. Putting a horizontal stucture into a building meant to strive more vertical and any other period in history has ever done. This is a sin, it maks me want to cry. How can people ruin something like this so brutally?ReplyDelete

I have to agree with living-history! It could have been done much more beautifully and in accordance with the existing architecture. But at the same time, there must be some wonderful reading spaces there!ReplyDelete
Stunning! I'm really considering going to Maastricht again just to visit this bookstore, since I'm not that far away.ReplyDelete

I find the combination of the gothic architecture and the modern design amazingly beautiful! There is a reason why this church is not being used as a church anymore. I am glad people can read, think and educate themselves and this is a extraordinary place to make that happen.ReplyDelete

If you visit you can read but also sleep in a former church http://www.chateauhotels.nl/default.aspx?fid=24&sc=7#
This interior is genius. This historic space is not only being used, its breathtaking beauty is being celebrated by the sensitive and intelligent design. Brilliant!ReplyDelete

Today, Hall-of-Famer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar kicked off his service as a Global Cultural Ambassador for the U.S. Department of State in Salvador, Brazil.
"I didn't expect to see such a big city here in this part of Brazil. I heard about Rio de Janeiro and I've been to Sao Paulo on my first trip to Brazil. But I didn't know they had big cities out here on the coast. It's quite a place," said Abdul-Jabbar.
Meeting in a community center in the recently pacified favela, Nordeste de Amaralina, Abdul-Jabbar stressed the importance of education as a means of empowerment both within Brazil and beyond.
"It was very rewarding for me today to talk to the young people about their education because a lot of them didn't understand how important it is. So I was happy to remind them that their education will supplement everything that they try to do as athletes and they seemed to be open to it. They asked really interesting questions and had an open mind it seemed to what I was saying," said Abdul-Jabbar.
Throughout Brazil, government officials and local partners are working together to pacify favelas -- or communities -- establishing local police stations to rid these communities of drugs and violence.
Abdul-Jabbar also traveled to Calabar, another favela that has been pacified for the last nine months, the first in Salvador. After discussing the importance of education and the opportunities it provides, Abdul-Jabbar hit the basketball court to shoot hoops with the kids.
"Playing basketball with the young people like this is something that reminds me of when I was a kid. It really reminds me of when I was in grade school and high school and tried to learn the game and all of my ambitions were right out there for everybody to see," Abdul-Jabbar said.

Nokia Corp., the world's largest maker of mobile phones, has quietly acquired a stake in Smarterphone, a developer of "smart" mobile operating systems for low-cost cell phones, from Ferd venture capitalist. The deal is kept secret, but if Nokia proceeds with integration of Smarterphone OS into its low-cost phones, it can radically change the market of mobile phones in general.
"Egil Kvaleberg is a world class software architect and founder. His internationally recruited and unique team situated in Oslo has created an operating system for lower end mobile phone that provides highly advanced functionality on very moderate hardware. Our belief in the team, technology and the long term market for feature phones remains firm, and we believe the company has now found a fantastic new home with Nokia," said Annar Bohn, investment manager at Ferd Capital.
Smarterphone 3.0 is an all-encompassing mobile operating system for wireless handsets, allowing OEMs and ODMs to bring new, highly competitive devices to the market quickly and at low cost. Smarterphone 3.0 includes a state of the art application suite, connecting the top-layer applications with the underlying platform, targeting major carrier's strictest requirements. Compared to conventional smartphones, our solution offers unique possibilities for differentiation, much lower handset bill of materials and total cost, and a truly integrated user experience of the connected phone, combining all electronic communication needs in one device.
"Globally, there are 4 billion mobile phone users. Despite all the attention given to high end smartphones, the majority of the 4 billion cannot afford such a device. With Smarterphone OS, inexpensive phones can be smart, too. Their users are just as keen to have easy and natural access to Facebook, Twitter and YouTube as users of high end phones," said Egil Kvaleberg, chief executive officer of Smarterphone.
Although the most logical option for Nokia to address the market of low-cost phones with touchscreens is Symbian, it looks like the company is eager to try different operating systems for its feature phones for the next decade. Smarterphone allows to create both very simple as well as more advanced phones with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, quality Internet browser and so on. It remains to be seen, however, whether Nokia will integrate Smarterphone "as is" or will combine its own assets with Smarterphone and other software to create a brand-new mobile operating system for phones that can cost from $25 to $75. It is also unknown whether software developed for Symbian will work on the new platform.
Terms of the deal are not known and Ferd has even removed the appropriate press release from its web-site. What is known is that since 2007 till 2011 Ferd Capital invested $5 million and €2 million into Smarterphone.
"We believe that Smarterphone could become the Wal-Mart of mobile handsets. Apple iPhone and Android-based phones have paved the way for smart phones worldwide, however, they require sophisticated hardware and therefore become too expensive for most people in the world. Smarterphone are able to build the advanced features of these high-end phones in low cost 3G handsets, thereby making every phone smart," said Bjørn Erik Reinseth, partner of Ferd Capital.
