European Commission, UN Environment step up cooperation to protect the world's oceans 20/12/2016 00:00:00
Mushrooming Cooperation 05/12/2016 00:00:00
UNEP works closely with a wide range of sporting organizations, including the International Olympic Committee and the International Motorcycling Federation.
And congratulations to Lord Drayson, the former Minister of Science, for breaking the world land speed record for an electric car this week?the timing could not be better for FIA's first sport conference week.
FIA is no stranger to UNEP-the foundation for example is a partner with us on the highly successful Partnership for Clean Fuels and Vehicles which was requested by governments at the World Summit on Sustainable Development in 2002 to phase-out lead in fuels in over 80 developing countries.
And GFEI-the Global Fuel Economy Initiative which has the long term ambition of a halving of fuel use in vehicles by 2050.
UNEP is no stranger to sports and the environment. Since 1994 we have worked with the International Olympic Committee on greening the summer, winter and paralympics and are currently assisting Sochi 2014 and only last week I signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Rio 2016.
We have many partnerships with sporting organizations. I am pleased to see colleagues from FIM here today: since 2006 we have partnered on greening motorcycling and promoting the UN's World Environment Day on 5 June each year
Ladies and gentlemen, we are living in a rapidly changing world.
UNEP is headquartered for the globe in Nairobi, Kenya and has been there since the early 1970s.
Like motor sports, modern technologies are transforming our work and the possibilities of what we can do.
Once almost marooned in East Africa in a sense, satellites and high speed Internet links mean UNEP is as connected to the world as other UN agencies in places like New York or Geneva.
Kenya itself shares the vision of someone like Lord Drayson-the country is determined to become low if not zero emission in electricity generation.
The biggest wind farm in sub Saharan Africa is about to start construction, Kenya is tapping the hot rocks of the Great Rift Valley for geothermal electricity and solar power is emerging rapidly. Our own HQ is a zero energy building courtesy of solar, passive ventilation and smart lighting appliances.
Kenya is not alone. Two weeks ago we published our Global Trends in Renewable Energy Investments.
In 2012 40 per cent of new energy investment was in renewables; record levels of megawatts were installed in wind and solar.
There are still those who prefer to ignore the facts and the trends. First clean energy would not work, then it was too expensive and now it can't be scaled up.
But whether it be the US$67 billion investments in China in 2012 or the fact that a state like Iowa-incidentally a Republican-held state in the US-now generates 25 per cent of its electricity from wind, well the reality challenges the ideology.
5.7 million people are now employed directly or indirectly in clean energy in a world craving employment, especially for the young.
Ladies and gentlemen,
today in my brief remarks I would like to outline some of the forces shaping the world and which in turn are shaping sport-and motor sports-relationship with society now and in the years to come.
Firstly we live in a world of seven billion people climbing to over nine billion by 2050.
Science tells us that on current trends we will triple resource use by mid century without an urgent decoupling of economic growth from resource consumption.
Science also tells us that we live in a world of planetary boundaries and tipping points-and we should try to live within the former and avoid the latter because they may be irreversible.
Cod stocks off North America's Grand Banks being a case in point-despite now long term closures to fishing boats, the cod has never come back because the conditions have fundamentally changed due to over-fishing.
The Arctic and climate change is another example in a world where only month or so ago we learnt that concentrations of carbon dioxide broke through yet another critical threshold and where from the International Energy Agency to the World Bank the warnings are of 4 degree, 5 degree 6 degree hotter globe sometime this century.
How to grow economies, generate jobs but do so in ways that shrink humanity's footprint on our Earth and indeed our oceans and our atmosphere?
That was the task before Heads of State and governments in Brazil last June at the Rio+20 Summit.
Three outcomes that resonate with this week's conference:
Sustainable Procurement-research indicates that if government and local authority spending in an economy is somewhere over 23 per cent?and that spending is 'greened'-it can tip the entire economy into the sustainability space.
Corporate sustainability reporting-25 per cent of big companies report their environmental, social and governance footprints, but 75 per cent do not.
UNEP is supporting Brazil, Denmark, France and South Africa in a global initiative to dramatically change this.
Beyond GDP-GDP is a very blunt indicator of how well any economy is doing. In China pollution and environmental degradation is estimated to be costing the economy three or four per cent of GDP?but it is not formally accounted for.
Governments want a new indicator of wealth that better captures environmental and social factors. Such an indicator could have profound impacts on the way we all do business.
Some of these outcomes are already being reflected in sporting events. We are working with Brazil, host of the FIFA World Cup 2014 and 2016 Rio Olympics, to green supply chains through sustainable procurement.
Brazil also wants more large and interestingly medium-sized companies to report on their footprint and are using these two big sporting events to fast track this.
Brazil has also asked us to develop a Green Passport for these two big sports events. The passport will promote ecotourism to spectators and sustainable agriculture and food including organic food available at hotels and restaurants in the host cities.
When UNEP first became involved in sport in the mid-1990s it was perhaps more about public relations and public awareness.
It still is: but increasingly we are being called upon to provide expertise and advice on sustainable pavilions and structures up to these new directions such as green procurement, which extend the influence and responsibility beyond the sports event itself to a wider notion of legacy within an economy.
I cannot imagine that motor sports would be immune from some of these profound sea changes at work in the world-from environmental and reputational risk to the opportunities emerging for business from providing the technological and organizational solutions.
Formula 1 and motor sports generally are already providing technological breakthroughs in terms of engines, fuels and light weight, safe designs that are feeding into the wider mobility markets.
Your sponsors are also looking increasingly to you for greener more sustainable events-and as I have tried to outline, this is not going to go away.
Motor sports and the men and woman involved have also been about achievement, raising the bar and breaking records.
They have also been about fun for millions upon millions of spectators - arm chair and in the stadia.
I think the environmental challenges and opportunities of the 21st century play precisely to those strengths and if I was in the cockpit at the crossroads of 2013, would seize the future that is so manifestly yours.
When people like Donald Campbell raced in his Bluebird it was more about personal and national pride. Today it is equally about bringing forward to solutions and technologies that can transform the world from a wasteful one into a low carbon, resource efficient global Green Economy.
Bertrand Piccard, the adventurer just completed his crossing of the US in the solar-powered plane Solarimpulse. People are excited and astonished by Piccard but equally by the potential of the technology.
A solar powered catamaran is currently sailing up the coast of North America tracking changes in the Gulf Stream linked with global warming. The University of Geneva vessel has the UNEP flag fluttering off the mast as we are supporting the science but also showcasing the technology that could transform shipping.
Motor sports is precisely in the same poll position to take these kinds of leads that society urgently needs while maintaining its long standing reputation for innovation, safety and entertainment on and off the track.

Skip to comments.Former inmate recalls daring escape from Auschwitz
Posted on 07/20/2010 10:33:07 AM PDT by Kartographer
NOWY TARG, Poland With every step toward the gate, Jerzy Bielecki was certain he would be shot.
The day was July 21, 1944. Bielecki was walking in broad daylight down a pathway at Auschwitz, wearing a stolen SS uniform with his Jewish sweetheart Cyla Cybulska by his side.
His knees buckling with fear, he tried to keep a stern bearing on the long stretch of gravel to the sentry post.
The German guard frowned at his forged pass and eyed the two for a period that seemed like an eternity then uttered the miraculous words: "Ja, danke" yes, thank you and let Jerzy and Cyla out of the death camp and into freedom.
(Excerpt) Read more at news.yahoo.com ...
Sounds like Midnight Express.
Without Oliver Stone.
Made me realize that may be a likely scenario for the elderly or disabled trying to escape an ObamaCare Hospice Center.
Just reading those few lines had my heart stopped.
Occasionally I'll do something that makes me think that I
am brave. Then I read something like this.
I'm learning how to hack....so I can change my medical records...They're not gonna get me before my time.
Wow. Go to the comments on this article. Slavering Jew-hatred. Unbelievable. Anti-Semitism is alive, well,and festering.
BUMP for read later
To all, read the entire article, it's very moving.
Sounds like 1934 Germany to me. How about you?
....I wish the press would do less Holocaust stories and a LOT more stories about the peril that Israel faces today...Islam has made no secret that they would kill every Jew in that country if they could...I have no doubt that they will nuke the Jews just as soon as they can....the only Jewish voice that I hear sounding the warning is my hero David Horowitz...meanwhile influencial Jews in business and entertainment keep touting Obama who loves Islam.
At the end of the story I was thinking about a line from Fiddler on the Roof.
The father asks.....if a bird and fish get married where will they live.
The dilemma continues to this day for some families.
1. She winked at him first time she saw him.
2. Couldn't wait till he came for her at their designated meeting place after the war.
3. Met a new man on the train and married him.
4. Wanted him to leave his wife and family for her after Hubby #1 died.
5. Refused to correspond after he was faithful to his commitment to his wife.
Sounds like the guy lucked out by not marrying her. He's lucky he didn't get killed saving her life. She'd have boo-hoo'd a day or two and taken up with a new guy very shortly.
Really id like to see the same holocaust stories,, with an occaisional line reminding the reader that the deadly mentality is still alive and well in the would of islam.
An excellent movie: The Black Book, based on a true story
Of course it's fiction, but I've often wondered about how different life would have turned out for the daughter who married the radical than for the people who made it to America. And did the daughter who married the gentile also decide to leave for America eventually? Had they stayed in Poland . . . .
Wow! I am just such a chicken, I cannot imagine doing something like this. I had butterflies in my stomach just reading about his feat. Such a stand-up guy, too, that he would not leave his wife when they reconnected years later. God bless him.
You know,, it's tacky to say. But i had similar thoughts. I'll give her some benefit of the doubt for how she acted in a nazi death camp. Ill even forgive the missed meeting point thing because that was a fact of life in the collapse of WWII Europe.
But the whole "leave your wife and kids" thing,,,, thats a woman he was lucky not to wind up with. She showed no class whatsoever.
Go to the comments on this article.
Oh, dear, I am so glad I did not read them. How could anyone feel anything but admiration for this man after reading this?
But the whole leave your wife and kids thing,,,,
Yes, I was sorry to read that part, too. I think he was better off, also.
Although I share your admiration for David Horowitz, he is not alone among American Jewish intellectuals and pundits sounding the warning about the dangers facing Israel from Islamic extremism. I've tried making a list of them, but I'll always miss a number of notable people, so here goes another try, in no particular order: Mark Levin, Michael Medved, Charles Krauthammer, Caroline Glick, Debbie Schlussel, Mona Charen, Don Feder, Dennis Prager, Norman and John Podhoretz (father and son), Ben Schapiro, Jonah Goldberg, Joan Swirsky, William and Irving Kristol (father and son), Steve Emerson. You will many columns by conservtive Jewish intellectuals on jewishworldreview.com .
Ping to a very interesting historical story!
...thanks for the tip concerning Jewishworld review.com....I've bookmarked it.
"Sounds like the guy lucked out by not marrying her. Hes lucky he didnt get killed saving her life. Shed have boo-hood a day or two and taken up with a new guy very shortly."
Yeah, I wasn't impressed with her either.

London City Airport is aiming to create an "airport of the future." The airport's goal is to eliminate the annoyances that come along with flying.
Their lofty goal includes shortening security lines and making missing luggage a thing of the past.
These experiences will be delivered by technology called Internet of Things (IoT). This technology allows a variety of devices and machines to communicate and has proven to be the foundation for ground-breaking technology. For example, the technology has helped create "smart lights" which detect when you've woken up to turn on and "smart cars" which are said to avoid collision.
The London City Airport is the first airport to use this technology for commercial aviation. Over the next year, the airport will integrate different technologies to provide a picture of what's possible.
A few of these possibilities include tracking luggage and passengers and a system that would allow passengers to pre-order food through their smartphones and have it delivered to their departure gate.
Overall, the airport is combining date to create a better customer experience. So now it's your turn to tell us — would you welcome these types of changes at airports or are you considered about privacy and safety implications of this technology? Leave a comment below, write on our Facebook page or Tweet us. We look forward to hearing from you!

Emeril's Reuben Sandwiches
- 2 pounds quality corned beef, very thinly sliced
- 12 slices Jewish-rye or marble-rye bread
- 1 recipe Emeril's Russian Dressing, recipe follows
- 12 ounces sauerkraut
- 12 slices good quality Swiss cheese
- 1 quart store-bought cole slaw, divided
- 4 tablespoons butter, softened, divided
- 6 kosher dill pickles, halved or quartered if large
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon minced yellow onion
- 1 tablespoon minced dill pickle
- 1 tablespoon minced celery
- 1 tablespoon minced parsley leaves
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon sugar
- Salt
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Place the corned beef in a shallow baking dish and drizzle with a little water. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake until heated through, about 20 minutes.
Lay the bread slices on a clean work surface and spread 1 side of each slice with some of the Russian dressing. Layer 1/2 of the slices with some of the corned beef. Divide the sauerkraut evenly over the meat, then top the sauerkraut with the slices of cheese and cole slaw. Place the remaining bread slices on top, dressing sides down, and set aside.
Heat 2 heavy large skillets over medium heat. When hot, brush 1 side of each sandwich with some of the butter and place in the hot pans, buttered sides down, and cook until crispy and golden brown, about 4 minutes. Spread the unbuttered, top sides of the sandwiches with the remaining butter and turn the sandwiches to cook on the second side until golden brown, crispy, and the cheese is melted, 3 to 4 minutes longer. Transfer the sandwiches to a cutting board and cut in half on the diagonal, then serve immediately, with remaining cole slaw and a kosher dill pickle, for garnish.
In a bowl, combine all ingredients except salt and whisk until well-blended. Add salt to taste, cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Yield: about 1 1/2 cups

Mallards hold on in Green Bay
Two third-inning runs hold up, 2-1
GREEN BAY - The Madison Mallards scored twice in the third inning, then held off a ninth-inning rally to beat the Bullfrogs 2-1 in Green Bay Friday night.
The Mallards took a 2-0 lead in the third on RBI's from John LaPrise and Mike Reuvekamp.
After that, five Mallards pitchers held the Bullfrogs scoreless until the bottom of the ninth.
Starting pitcher Andrew Arenson went five innings, Sam Forkert pitched the sixth and Corey Fischer and Jack Livingston took care of the seventh and eighth.
Closer Hunter May was handed a 2-0 lead and allowed a run on a wild pitch to cut the lead to one. But May got Boomer White to fly out to right for the final out and the Mallards hung on for the 2-1 win.

Badger's organic and fair trade cocoa butter is produced by La Cooperativa Agraria Industrial Naranjillo Limitada in Peru. This cooperative was founded in 1964 by 32 farmers in the Naranjillo region of Peru, in response to the excessively low prices the farmers were receiving for their cocoa and coffee crops. Since 1974 the partners dreamed of having their own industrial plant, a dream that became a realty in 1985. Today, Naranjillo is the largest producer of organic cocoa in Peru.
La Cooperative Agraria Industrial Naranjillo became Fair Trade Certified by Fair Trade Labeling Organizations International (FLO) in 2004, and consistently strives to improve the quality of life for its farmers, as well as the quality of its cocoa. The cooperative is striving toward being fully certified organic, 77% of the cooperative members are certified organic at present. The Fair Trade price has enabled Cooperativa Agraria Industrial Naranjillo LTDa to establish various social and productive programs relating to: education, productive investment, environmental initiatives, financial credit, and women's rights.
"Being a leader nationally and internationally in the production processing and marketing of cocoa, coffee and other products, positioning in the markets of high quality with a socially and environmentally responsible management."
"Providing the best service to members, promoting self-sustaining social base in harmony with the environment."

MMatt,Did your grandmother say anything about using semolina in the dough? Since you make Sicilian pies you would know more than I do. Do Sfincione and (Sfincione alla Palermitana) mean the same kind of pie?Norma
I have no idea who Nick Malgieri is, nor have I ever read his recipe.
The question about what is woollen fabric intrigued me, in reply #13. I searched the web and now think this type of fabric is some kind of fine woven textile, made from sheep's wool.http://pix.popula.com/items/0224/vintage3/wool.html Matt,Thank you for the additional information. When you are baking a Sicilian pizza, do use a hydration of more than 70%? I really dont know what the hydration was for the pizza I made because it was in volume measurements.Thanks,Norma
Hi Norma427,I have access to a very authentic sicilian website where some recipes are written in dialect, if you need the recipe for the crust I could translate it and send it to you.
Matt,I did see you posted that these were probably you best pies. Did you happen to take any pictures?I have been following that thread with interest. Thanks,Norma
I have no idea who Nick Malgieri is, nor have I ever read his recipe. His topping are likely the same because they are the traditional toppings for sfincione alla Palermitana.Matt
I have access to a very authentic sicilian website where some recipes are written in dialect, if you need the recipe for the crust I could translate it and send it to you.
Matt,as I promised Norma I will have to find it ASAP and I will send it to you and her, I have a guest pizzaiolo from Venice in my house until the 16th. Be patient! this site is full of great recipes, can you read italian?
Norma427,Gino's is located on 18th and 68st across from Dunkin Donuts, Villa Abbate Bakery is on 18th and 70th on the corner. I guarantee you will be hooked to their pastries that you will be making lots of trips to Brooklyn. I use semolina extra durum to make bread, pasta and I put some on the sfincione. I bought 50lbs for $16.00 wholesale. It gives a nice flavor and a nice crunch and color.
ninapizza23,Are these the videos and are these pictures from Pizzarium your were referring to when you answered Bob 1 under the Rigenero tread. If these are the pictures..everything looks fantastic! http://www.flickr.com/photos/davidlebovitz/274232025/ 1. http://www.tripadvisor.de/ReviewPhotos-g187791-d941728-r19660570-Pizzarium-Rome_Lazio.html#18417361http://www.flickr.com/photos/paolettas/2954287589/http://www.flickr.com/photos/paolettas/2962024406 http://www.travelandleisure.com/restaurants/pizzarium-rome http://www.concierge.com/travelguide/rome/restaurants/14044 http://www.timeout.com/rome/restaurants/venue/6754/pizzariumhttp://www.ratebeer.com/Place/state/city/Pizzarium/14801.htmhttp://profumodilievito.blogspot.com http://www.roma-gourmet.net/inglese/?page_id=521 http://wwwlapizza.altervista.org/pizzaioli/gabriele.htmAlso this type of pizza called Pizza Romana looks very interesting. Do you know anything about how this is prepared?http://selectitaly.com/food.php?product_id=94 Thanks,Norma
Matt,You are sooooo lucky to be able go there. I don't know if this is still the place ninapizza23 is referring to. Will wait until she says if this is the place. I hope you are going to take lots of pictures and let us know how all the pizzas taste. Just the Italian music and seeing these pictures is an experience. Thanks,Norma

Bolivia Bans Military Abuse of Animals (Historic Victory!)
After less than a month of PETA campaigning, the Bolivian minister of defense went on that country's national television to announce an historic ban on all animal abuse in military training exercises, stating that the Bolivian government is issuing Resolution 217 to prohibit all acts of violence, exploitation, and mistreatment that provokes the death of animals. Not only has Bolivia beaten the U.S. military to the punch, this ban is also Bolivia's first military animal protection regulation ever.
This news comes as a direct result of PETA's and PETA Germany's campaigns, which were launched after horrific video footage was uncovered showing the Bolivian military's mutilation and killing of dogs in combat-training exercises. More than 20,000 supporters joined in the effort, including a leading Bolivian congresswoman, Ximena Flores Castro, who talked with PETA and then met with the defense minister in order to get the resolution on the books.
Resolution 217 puts an end to military training exercises in which dogs were mercilessly stabbed to death as they screamed in pain. Not one more animal—dog or otherwise—will have to suffer such a miserable fate at the hands of the Bolivian military. The resolution also includes sanctions for those who violate the regulation.
This is a giant step in the right direction for Bolivia, and we hope to continue working closely with government officials to enact more animal protection laws.
Everyone who spoke out against this cruelty deserves a big pat on the back! Let's keep up the momentum and urge the U.S. military to follow Bolivia's compassionate lead.
Written by Shawna Flavell

Please make sure those are actual BOLIVIAN soldiers and not PERUVIAN ones! The Bolivians (70 percent Indians) still hold on to beliefs and superstitions. In Bolivian belief the DOG has their own GOD and this GOD called Saint Rocke is the dog's saint for if anything happens to a dog by a person that person is damned FOR ETERNITY. In the afterlife it is believed that the dogs will help you cross over. Bolivians know this and the abusers must be really low life indigenous with no culture or soul. The majority are not like this however because like I said Bolivia is a country of many superstitions and beliefs relative to other developed countries like Chile, Argentina, Venezuela, etc. Dogs get free shots every few months provided by the gov. Once when I was in a taxi a dog was waiting to cross over worried that the car would still move we asked the driver to not cross yet and he said, "Of course I won't cross! The dog is like a human".
This is sick how could anyone be this heartless to do tis to and animal? Makes me sick to my stomach!!! people with no heart would do this to a poor animal!!!

Topic: Web Design for Dummies
Hi, thought I'd post this here. I've been a programmer for over 8 years now but only began building web applications 2 years ago. I think it's fair to say that right now, I don't really have a designer's brain. I don't really know which colors to use, how to create a unique layout e.t.c. Don't get me wrong, I eventually get a good design and the clients I build web applications for tend to rave about the design, but to be honest, it takes me such a long time. Like at least 70% of the time it takes me to build an application is spent on design. I'd like to shorten this dramatically.
Can anyone suggest tips on how to speed up the design process, maybe sites I can look at for inspiration, simple tips e.t.c. I'm currently working on a project and I'm facing this problem once again. All my tests have been written, the application's logic is more or less complete. But designing the interface for the admin section is proving a major chore and I haven't decided on anything for the past four days.
Of course as we all know, with Web 2.0, the bar has really been raised and average web designs just don't cut it anymore, and I don't want to rip off someone else's design.

NGG Rewarded For Going Green
February 28, 2014
Nautic Global Group (NGG) is going green and is proud to be rewarded for doing so!
Kurt Kenning with Energizing Indiana and Bruce Griffey, an Energy Efficiency Representative with AEP, along with David Kline, an AEP local customer service engineer presented NGG with a rebate check for $103,000 today at Nautic Global Group's headquarters in Elkhart, Indiana.
The rebate money is from the Energizing Indiana Commercial & Industrial Rebate Program that is designed to help Indiana's commercial and industrial facilities achieve long-term, cost-effective energy savings.
Nautic Global Group has qualified to receive in total $293,816 in Energizing Indiana rebates since the energy efficient transformation at the NGG facilities started in November of 2013. The company is expected to receive another rebate check, for changes that were made in the two NGG production facilities located in Syracuse, Indiana.
The rebate money was awarded to the boating manufacturer for changing close to 1,400 light fixtures and light bulbs in all three of the production facilities to make them more energy efficient. 700 light fixtures were replaced with new more efficient fixtures and bulbs in the Elkhart facility, and 700 more were replaced in Syracuse, Indiana.
Brian Oakes, a maintenance technician at all three NGG facilities said this major transformation was completed in two months. Oakes worked with Bill Erdman, Transportation Manager at Nautic Global Group, to execute the plan to fruition.
Erdman said, "Nautic Global Group is getting more out of the Energizing Indiana program than what has been invested monetarily in replacing the lights and bulbs." "Almost no money is coming out of our pocket to promote energy efficiency."
Kenning, a Commercial & Industrial Trade Ally Coordinator with Energizing Indiana said he worked closely with NGG to validate and verify that each and every light bulb and light fixture was replaced with new efficient replacement models.
"These new bulbs are brighter and use half of the electricity that the old bulbs used, plus they do not give off as much heat. So not only are we saving money on electric, but we will also save on heating and cooling to keep the plants comfortable for production," said Oakes.
"As a boat manufacturer, participating in this type of program makes perfect sense for NGG," added Doug Sexton, VP of Sales & Marketing at NGG. "The very nature of our business promotes an active lifestyle that takes full advantage of our natural surroundings. It's good for NGG and the people who are employed here, for the boating lifestyle, and for the environment."

Hi everyone,
the last few months I have recorded a new song 'Run of the Mill'. A rather daunting task, because the song consists of different themes, tempo and signature changes. And I recorded all instruments and vocals by myself
Musically think of a song like 'Band on the Run' to have an idea of what to expect.
On my soundcloud page I have posted a snippet of this song:
In this preview you hear a snippet with some of these themes.
Right now the final version of the song is being mixed and mastered.
Again I hope you enjoy!

Education discontent
Eddie Dunn, Fargo
It is difficult for many people familiar with higher education in our state to understand how the North Dakota University System could fall from a national model for state higher education systems in the early 2000s to a source of frustration and dissatisfaction in 2013.
These circumstances are not new. Similar discontent with higher education reached a boiling point during the 1999 legislative session. Fortunately, thoughtful leaders stepped forward to address the issues. As a result, 61 state leaders came together to develop a common vision and agreed-upon strategies and accountability measures that led to formation of a first-rate higher education system in North Dakota. These stakeholders included representatives of the private sector; the State Board of Higher Education; University System presidents, faculty and students; tribal colleges; and vocational and secondary education. The group became known as the Roundtable on Higher Education.
The results of the Roundtable now are evident on every campus and in numerous communities and businesses throughout the state. "Flexibility with accountability" empowered the campuses and established clear expectations of each institution. Invigorating the University System with an entrepreneurial spirit led to dramatic increases in accessibility, affordability and seamless transfer among institutions as well as rapid growth in public/private sector partnerships.
Today, the NDUS leads the nation in the percentage of students (74 percent) who start at a two-year college and graduate from a two-year or four-year institution. The system is also credited with creating thousands of new jobs and contributing hundreds of millions of dollars to the state's economy each year.
By many measures, the Roundtable on Higher Education has been a huge success. It clearly demonstrated the power and potential of the state's public colleges and universities to expand educational opportunities for students while also contributing to significant growth in the state's economy. These achievements were recognized with numerous honors, including the 2002 Innovations Award from the Council of State Governments. Legislators and higher education leaders who attended national conferences frequently were asked to provide presentations about the success of the Roundtable on Higher Education.
Fast forward to 2013. The question now becomes whether or not the guiding principles of the Roundtable, including a shared vision, agreed-upon roles and responsibilities and mutual trust and respect, are still relevant. Senator David Nething, chair of the Roundtable on Higher Education, provided insightful words of caution in his closing comments to the Roundtable members when the Roundtable Report was being adopted. He said, "The plan is fragile because much of it is built on trust."
It is important to acknowledge that many thoughtful legislators and individuals throughout the state have understandable and legitimate concerns about higher education. The dilemma lies in how to address these concerns. Before legislative action or State Board of Higher Education action significantly alters our statewide system of higher education, we first should determine if we have a structural problem or a people problem.
Organizational leadership experts would contend that changes to the structure are necessary if it is determined the problems stem from structural flaws. If, however, problems result from "people" actions and decisions, then solutions aimed at addressing the people issues are in order.
Misdiagnosing the situation, followed by applying the wrong solution, will compound the problem. In other words, if the problems are of a people nature, changing the structure won't correct the problem. If, however, the right people are in place people who have the core values of integrity, honesty and trust then structure doesn't matter. It is a truism that people of good character find ways to be successful and do so within the rules and operating guidelines they have before them. People of high character can operate and be successful within any reasonable structure.
An organization that creates an environment of strong core values along with the understanding that deviation from those values will not be tolerated usually finds it unnecessary to employ extensive oversight and auditing measures. Such organizations have learned that honesty and trusting relationships are stronger success-drivers than a "gotcha" mentality and punishing "wrong doing." An organization that abides by strong core values also results in a much more enjoyable, rewarding and productive work environment.
In this context, it's important to examine whether higher education in our state currently has structural problems or people problems. From my observations as a faculty member, administrator, vice chancellor of strategic planning, executive director of the two-year colleges, staff liaison to the Roundtable on Higher Education and interim chancellor, I have not found structure to be the problem. While no structure is perfect, what was put in place by legislation in 1990 to create a "unified system of higher education" has served students and our state very well. It would be tragic to destroy this structure and later realize that people problems were the root of the dissatisfaction.
The stakes are high. Four bills introduced during the 2013 Legislative Session would address perceived structural flaws. These bills will not solve the escalating challenges within the University System. Overhauling the current structure is not the answer; the answer is to re-establish the founding principles of the Roundtable on Higher Education and to have people in leadership positions who exhibit integrity in all circumstances.
(Dunn was interim chancellor of the North Dakota University system from 2006 – 2007)

Carbon credits are just another bankster scam, and do nothing for the environment. They were a scam when the Republicans started them and they are a scam now when the Democrats favor them.
Science is purely science. Opinions are just opinions.
I don't pretend to know the science behind it all, but I'll put my trust in the people with the education, knowledge, and dedication to collect and analyze the data.
But you choose to trust the results of "scientific studies" that are 100% sponsored by the coal industry , the petroleum institute and our old friends the Koch boys.No agenda there ?
The data points between 16 years ago and now are equal. That doesn't necessarily mean global climate change stopped. If you look at data back further, like 100 years, there are several instances where the temp went down, but the general trend is up. Climatologists look at long term trends, not recent.
I dont trust people...
Everything you listed is general, anecdotal, and not scientific. The fact is despite all the red herrings, Al Gore wannabees, and Photoshopped Facebook reposts, there are plenty of published peer-reviewed studies supporting it, and to call it an outright scam isn't being objective. When you cut through all the bull and the sins of both sides of the debate, there are more published peer-reviewed studies supporting AGW than not.
I don't claim AGW is absolutely determined at this point. However to claim it's a scam and support that with claims that scientists have vested interests in it being real while there are several orders of magnitude more individuals with a vested interest in it being not true, and actively outspending those with scientific interests, the claim doesn't hold water.
Unlike you, Ive watched this issue closely for the past 5+ years...Try turning off the TV and doing a little research of your own.
Any discussion of AGW that involves discussing politics, religion, jobs, costs, or the motives of others isn't worth having.
It is a social problem, not a political one.
You have no clue how much I've watched this issue, or what sources I use. (Likewise, I could presumptively tell you to stop reading Anthony Watts blog entries.) I'm not here to debate AGW or sway anyone. You've obviously made up your mind. I haven't, but I do know it's disingenuous to paint a whole research community with a broad brush of dishonesty. Any discussion of AGW that involves discussing politics, religion, jobs, costs, or the motives of others isn't worth having.
radioartisan,With all due respect sir....you seem to have a propensity towards the use of "hot button" words or phrases.(disingenuous, sway, etc.) And in my experience, things such as this usually lead to confusion or misconceptions....some people use these tactics as (weak) tools.
You're right. "Disingenuous" was a poor choice of words on my part. I meant "wrong". Sorry for the confusion.

Mr. Speaker, there is an old baseball saying, "you can't hit what you can't see", but when it comes to trains, one most certainly can. Fewer than one in four Canadian train cars has proper reflectors and Canadians are killed in preventable car-train collisions regularly because they simply did not see the trains. The railway companies like to blame driver error, but cars, trucks and farm implements have had to have reflectors for years, why not trains?
My urban colleagues need to understand that the rural crossings where most of these accidents occur are not equipped with flashing lights, with bells, with whistles, or with guard arms. The fact is no one in the Conservative Party is asking the government to equip each of the 50,000 uncontrolled crossings in such a manner. What we are asking for is that reflectors be placed on all trains.
I want the minister to immediately implement a rule which requires the immediate implementation of reflectors. The United States is planning a reflector program that will be phased in over 10 years. That is not acceptable to the Conservative Party. We--

Mr. Speaker, it is most unfortunate that the first recommendation under the new species at risk law by the scientific panel, COSEWIC, aimed at protecting 12 species of cod and other aquatic species has been postponed by the Minister of the Environment. Apparently the Fisheries Council has intervened and objected to the professional opinion of COSEWIC, which is the scientific panel whose only motivation is to protect endangered species.
I urge the Minister of the Environment to reconsider his decision, or at least accelerate the consultative process so as to reduce to a minimum the damage caused to these aquatic species at risk.

Monique Guay Laurentides, QC
Mr. Speaker, May 1 is a day to celebrate workers. Let us take this occasion to pay tribute to the women and men who work every day to build a better world, a fairer world, a world that lives up to our aspirations and ambitions.
Valiant struggles over the years have made it possible to obtain better working conditions, but there is a great deal left to do. We think of the need to add anti-scab measures to the Canada Labour Code or the urgent need to review the regulations covering precautionary cessation of work for pregnant and nursing women, in order to help them have healthy babies.
My thoughts today are with the employees of Bauer Nike, in my riding of Laurentides, who are in a time of uncertainty. Along with the firm's survival committee, I will spare no effort to ensure that these people keep their jobs.
Workers can count on the Bloc Quebecois to make their voices heard and to defend their rights in order to improve their quality of life.

Marlene Jennings Notre-Dame-de-Grâce—Lachine, QC
Mr. Speaker, I rise in the House today to applaud the work of Canada's Parliament in passing Bill C-250 this week. Bill C-250 will amend the Criminal Code by adding sexual orientation to the list of groups protected by the hate crimes provisions of the Criminal Code.
The bill is a significant step toward protecting Canadians from hate based attacks. Bill C-250 will not infringe on the freedom of speech, nor will it limit the rights of individuals to disagree on lifestyle issues, nor will it criminalize religious text. What Bill C-250 does is to ensure equal protection under the Criminal Code regardless of sexual orientation.
I would like to applaud the good work of the members of the House who helped pass the bill. My thanks to all who helped pass the bill.

Howard Hilstrom Selkirk—Interlake, MB
Mr. Speaker, for what may be my last S. O. 31 due to the rumours of an imminent election call, I would like to tell the people of Selkirk--Interlake what a pleasure it has been to serve as their voice in Ottawa.
For the information of the House, Selkirk--Interlake is populated by Canadians with a tremendous diversity in ethnic backgrounds. We live in harmony with each other and work hard to make our region, our province and our country a better place in which to live. Agriculture, commercial fishing, light manufacturing industries, tourism, along with jobs in all economic sectors of Manitoba's economy are how we earn our living. Artistic efforts, along with many cultural activities enrich our lives.
Geographically the riding contains the largest southern portions of beautiful Lake Winnipeg and Lake Manitoba. Beautiful ranch and farmland, along with dynamic small towns nestled in a clean environment, make it a wonderful place to live.
Our future success as a region called Selkirk--Interlake is totally dependent on the opportunities for our children and grandchildren. Our youth and their futures are why I have spent the last seven years as the MP for Selkirk--Interlake doing the best I could, with my wife Faye by my side.

Mr. Speaker, yesterday, the hon. member for Laurentides suggested that the Quebec caucus of this government was lacking arguments to prove the uselessness of Bloc Quebecois members in this House. Our government does not need arguments to demonstrate this reality. The empty rhetoric and the apathy of Bloc Quebecois members tell the tale.
The hon. member for Rimouski--Neigette-et-la Mitis will agree with me, since she once said that her caucus was particularly good at scoring in its own net. The hon. member for Laurier—Sainte-Marie will also surely agree with me, after telling the media that he cannot prevent the Prime Minister from being re-elected, and after admitting to the daily Le Soleil that the Bloc Quebecois never does anything good and takes its orders from its head office, which is the Parti Quebecois.
Finally, our government is so acutely aware of Quebec's distinctiveness that a candidates manual was specially prepared for our Quebec caucus and will be distributed at the appropriate time.
I can assure the House that we will have no problems proving—

Mr. Speaker, when the rookie NDP members of Parliament arrived here in 1997, we were welcomed by the smiling face of Cathryn Prince. She helped us through our first days, eased our fears, talked about the mechanics of the job and inspired us even more about the importance of the House of Commons.
Cathryn loved this place. She worked on the Hill for over 25 years with a number of NDP MPs and with the public service. Cathryn believed passionately in the principles of social democracy, the union movement and the importance of reaching out and helping people. She had a twinkle in her eye and a warm smile. An incredible number of people counted her as a trusted, loyal friend, so great was her generosity of spirit.
Cathryn was also a loving mother, sister, wife, and an especially loving grandmother.
Cathryn Prince passed away on March 10 with one of her sons by her side. She passed from this life the way she lived it, feeling the love of her friends and her family.
Today in the House we want to celebrate the lasting contributions of Cathryn Prince.
Sustainable Development

Serge Marcil Beauharnois—Salaberry, QC
Mr. Speaker, this week, the Minister of the Environment attended the session of the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development to discuss world challenges related to water.
It is estimated that diseases communicated by undrinkable water are costing in excess of $250 million annually. Economic progress and quality of life in developing countries are increasingly restricted by the poor quality and the lack of water. Access to water can become a source of conflict and a threat to peace and security.
As the Prime Minister mentioned yesterday in his speech delivered in Washington, there is an urgent need for the international system and multilateral institutions to operate more efficiently.
This is why Canada is playing a key role to strengthen the United Nations Environment Programme and to improve the United Nations' ability to deal with the issue of water.
Also, the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment will examine the best way for Canada to meet its international commitments regarding the development of integrated water management plans by the year 2005.

Mr. Speaker, this week the Liberal majority in the Senate passed Bill C-250. It was indeed a sad day in Canadian politics.
Many of my constituents in Skeena and I as their MP vigorously and vociferously opposed the bill as it moved through the House of Commons. The Liberal majority, with the help of both the Bloc Quebecois and the NDP, supported Bill C-250 on its way to the Senate.
A government that supports such biased and undemocratic legislation as Bill C-250 does not deserve to be in office, much less re-elected.
I urge all Canadians to remember which candidates stood for freedom of speech, freedom of religion and freedom of expression in this country whenever the upcoming election is called.

Mr. Speaker, on April 22, I had the pleasure of presiding the national round table on the social economy hosted by the Department of Human Resources and Skills Development, in my role as the parliamentary secretary with special responsibility for the social economy.
The national round table discussion allowed me to meet with various stakeholders from across the country. I am pleased to have been given the opportunity to work with them and receive their views on key social economic issues.
Comments by such participants as Nancy Neamtam, from the Chantier de l'économie sociale du Québec, Rupert Downing, from the Canadian Community Economic Development Network (CCEDNet), David Driscoll, from the VanCity Community Foundation in British Columbia, Réjean Laflamme, from the Conseil canadien de la coopération, and many others, will enable us to refine our strategy to encourage even more growth in the social economy in coming years.
Our government and our Prime Minister are committed to the social economy. We will continue to build on the measures announced in the Speech from the Throne and in budget 2004 in order to achieve our common goal of building communities rich in social assets.

Mr. Speaker, it appears that the 37th Parliament of Canada will soon come to an end. Many MPs will return to their homes in the various provinces with memories of having served their constituents here in the House.
My memories are many. I am grateful for the many friends I have on both sides of the House, but the friendships extend beyond that. What about the pages, the security staff, the personnel who help on committees, the people in the cafeterias and at the post office, and the bus drivers? The list goes on. They are all wonderful people who greet us daily with cheerfulness.
I will leave behind many wonderful people. As the MP of a huge rural constituency, I want to say thanks to them for their great support.
As I say goodbye, I offer my best wishes to all those people. I hope that perchance we will meet again somewhere, some time. If not, they will be part of my memories for the rest of my life.
Year of Acadia

Stéphane Bergeron Verchères—Les Patriotes, QC
Mr. Speaker, on Wednesday we unanimously adopted a motion by the member for West Nova declaring 2004 the Year of Acadia. It is appropriate to make such a solemn gesture, in this the 400th anniversary year of the founding of Acadia. My colleague benefited from the enthusiastic support of the Bloc Quebecois members, "separatist" though they are. We would have liked to have the same kind of support from him at the time of the debate on Motion M-382, following the royal proclamation last December.
Although it is appropriate to recognize the arrival of Samuel de Champlain in the Americas, 400 years ago, I believe we would also render justice to history by also pointing out the determining role played by Pierre Du Gua, Sieur de Mons, in the founding of Acadia.
Curiously, the Liberals have chosen the end of April, with an election looming, to make this gesture. I had put forward the proposal by the general assembly of the Société nationale de l'Acadie here in this House on June 12, 2003. As in the case of the motion recognizing National Acadian Day, this manoeuvre appears to have been carried out with the sole purpose of trying to make the public forget the Liberal government's dubious role in the debate on acknowledging the deportation.

Mr. Speaker, yesterday the government finally released some of the information surrounding the secret unity slush fund.
The Prime Minister previously claimed he knew nothing about this honey pot. I quote the current Minister of Finance who said "the current Prime Minister has not made any use of that particular reserve". However, the chart shows that the Department of Finance got $1 million.
Would the Minister of Finance clear up this contradiction when he said the former finance minister did not get any money, but the chart shows $1 million?

Cotton Mather called them 'the hidden ones.' They never preached or sat in a deacon's bench. Nor did they vote or attend Harvard. Neither, because they were virtuous women, did they question God or the magistrates. They prayed secretly, read the Bible through at least once a year, and went to hear the minister preach even when it snowed. Hoping for an eternal crown, they never asked to be remembered on earth. And they haven't been. Well-behaved women seldom make history; against Antinomians and witches, these pious matrons have had little chance at all.
—Laurel Thatcher Ulrich, from her paper "Vertuous Women Found: New England Ministerial Literature, 1668–1735" in the 1976 spring edition of American Quarterly
Did you know that the ubiquitous slogan contained within the quotation above doesn't end with a period but a semicolon? That it comes from a Mormon feminist and Pulitzer Prize-winning historian?
Rather than a rally cry for bold behavior, Thatcher Ulrich was lauding the underappreciated and shining a light on the historically invisible. As part of her research into Puritan funeral services, she was pointing to the value of an academically "neglected" group of quiet, dutiful Puritans who did not get as much attention as the so-called witches of that era.
Thatcher Ulrich says it's her religious upbringing that drives her to work among the stories of everyday experience:
"Coming from a minority religious culture that emphasizes the value of the ordinary person and the everyday life and doesn't celebrate being rich and famous has a lot to do with my orientation historically. Mormon women have had a very colorful and controversial history and that is a lot of what has interested me."
Joanna Brooks, a scholar, journalist, and Ask Mormon Girl blogger, is another one of those smart, strong female voices. Look for our interview with her this Thursday. It's a good one!
