Survey: Crystal Reports- Action Required: The State WIC Office would like to gather information regarding problems LWP staff encounter when trying to access Crystal Reports. We are requesting LWP assistance in completing the short 9 question survey. When you complete this survey please be as specific as possible with your responses so we can better understand the issues. The survey will be available from March 15 through close of business April 15, 2011. If you have any questions about the survey please contact Michelle Nienhuis by phone at 800-392-8209 or by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com. Thank you for your assistance.
Participant Nutrition Education on the Web: This is a reminder that Participant Nutrition Modules on the Web are available for use with non-high risk WIC participants. Eighteen Participant Nutrition Education on-line classes are available on the web at the WIC Families link. The policy "Alternative Methods of Providing Nutrition Education (Web based, Self-Paced Modules, Telephone and E-mail) (2.06300)" is available in the WOM to guide LWP CPAs that decide to use this option for participant nutrition education.
- The LWP CPA will review and follow the policy guidelines to ensure that web classes are appropriate to meet the participant's needs before they are allowed to use this method for nutrition education.
- Note: In the above policy, refer to Procedure 3 which explains the role of the CPA in providing follow up on the nutrition web classes using the "Process of Delivering Effective Nutrition Education in WIC" (memo MPSF: WC-06-17-P).
- These classes are designed to give immediate feedback to the participant throughout the module.
- The web class instruction form is available on the website which can be printed at the LWP office and provided to the participant when this option of providing nutrition education is selected.
- Each module has been designed to produce a certificate of completion. Please see sample in the weekly update message which shows the details on the certificate for the class taken. The participant should be instructed to print the certificate and bring it to the LWP for verification of completion. If the participant is unable to print the certificate, the lower section of the web class instruction form can be used to document the class title, date completed, certificate number and time completed.
More classes will be posted on the website in the future. If you have any questions, please contact your district TA nutritionist. (ONE ATTACHMENT)
LWP Oral Assessment Survey–Complete 1 per agency: The state WIC office would like to have a better understanding of how the oral assessment is completed at the local agency level.

For questions about the survey or to provide additional information, contact Rita Arni at email@example.com or call 573.751.8159.
Eat Right with the Color Green—National Nutrition Month Weekly Nutrition Tip: This week's focus is on green fruits and veggies. Use this week's message in an employee email or newsletter to help promote the benefits of adding green fruits and vegetables to your meals. The more colors you eat ensures you are making the most of your meals. This week is all about GREEN fruits and vegetables. See the attached for more information about adding green fruits and vegetables to your meals. If you have any questions about these materials, please contact Pat Simmons at firstname.lastname@example.com or 573-522-2843.

If you are interested in acquiring the domain Jaquelina.com, you may submit your offer at
the following e-mail address: . Offers deemed to be unreasonable, at the sole discretion of the owner, will not receive
a response. Thank you for your interest.
Acquire your own name as a domain name; it's a
requirement in today's online world. Using your own name as a domain name makes it easy to remember, such
as Jaquelina .com, and it is an excellent branding tactic.
Even if you
don't have a use for it right now, acquire your own name as a domain name. Sites like Jaquelina.com have gone
quickly, so they won't be available for purchase in a few years when you're ready to use
With your own name as your domain name, you
can use your website for a variety of purposes. One use most people will never think of is to use it as your
personal marketing device.
Today, most
companies search online before choosing a candidate to hire, and this is especially true for coveted management
positions. Jaquelina.com, for example, would be a great place to use for posting your professional profile so that
they will find it during their search.
Not only can you use your personal domain name
to market yourself when looking for a job, but it can also be used to get new business no matter what line of work
you are in.
While personal domain names are very popular
in the entertainment industry, domain names like Jaquelina.com are an easily remembered site to pass out to
business associates or prospective clients as well. A site like Jaquelina .com will look much
more professional than a website address that has nothing to do with you or your business.
Registering your personal domain name is
actually very easy, and it takes just a few minutes. By registering your name as a domain name now, you will not
run the risk of someone getting there first. Owning a domain name with your own name attached to it is an easy way
to increase your personal marketing.
If you are getting ready to register a domain
name, or even if you've never thought of it before, consider registering your own name, such as Jaquelina.com.
Using your own name as a domain name will increase your professionalism and make it easy for prospective employers
or clients to find you.
Understandably, a great domain name like
Jaquelina.com, was acquired long ago, but is now available for sale.
If you are interested in acquiring the domain
Jaquelina.com, you may submit your offer at the following e-mail address:
. Offers deemed to be unreasonable, at the sole discretion of the owner, will not
receive a response. Thank you for your interest.

From websites promoting help with Monday morning atheism, to an ever present 'TGIF,' a place of honor toward work seems to do nothing but diminish within our culture. The mere suggestion that work is not a curse of the fall is unfortunately quite foreign in many circles. Joseph Sunde at Remnant Culture has written a blog based on his reading of Booker T. Washington's biography entitled Up From Slavery in which he highlights the high ethic and dignity Washington placed on work.
I can only imagine the impact that would be realized in our culture, if the majority of people embraced the principles of Washington's work ethic and practiced them on a daily basis. If you are looking for further reading on this topic, beyond Washington's biography I would recommend Work: The Meaning Of Your Life by Lester DeKoster.

Serious pizza places have brick ovens fuelled either by wood or, in New York City and New Haven, by coal. Yes, coal - large hunks of shiny, blue, bituminous coal. Authentic Neapolitan pizzas take 80-120 seconds to bake, authentic Neapolitan-American pizzas maybe five minutes. Mine take 14 minutes. It seems obvious that what stands between me and perfect pizza crust is temperature - real pizza ovens are much hotter than anything I can attain in my own kitchen. Lower temperatures dry out the dough before the outside is crisp and the topping has cooked. I have confirmed all this with my new Raynger ST 8. At the reasonably authentic Neapolitan La Pizza Fresca Ristorante on East 20th Street, for example, the floor of its wood-burning brick oven measures 675°F; the back wall (and presumably the ambient air washing over the pizza) pushes 770°, and the domed ceiling 950°. The floor of Lombardi's Neapolitan-American coal oven soars to 850° measured a foot from the inferno, less under the pizza itself. My ST 8 and I have become inseparable.

The Wretched Group to have one-time performance this summer
The Wretched Group is coming – one night only this summer – as the Wretched Reunion 2013 Tour rolls through the Dunkirk/Fredonia area for a special one-time performance on July 26.
The classic 1960s rock group, The Wretched Group, invites everyone to join them that Friday at Rookies-On-The-Lake in Dunkirk. The music will start at 9 p.m. and continue till 1 a.m.
The Wretched Group is an authentic 1960s rock and roll band formed originally in 1965 and consisting of members of the Fredonia High School Class of 1968. The Wretched Group performed regularly between 1965 and 1968 at local teen dances in Chautauqua County at local venues such as Fredonia's Teen Center The Hub, St. Anthony's CYO Youth Center and all area high school dances. The band broke up after high school graduation in 1968 as the members left Fredonia for college.
The Wretched Group reunited for the first time in 1999 to perform at their high school class reunion and has continued to reunite for performances regularly over the past 13 years.
The band has performed locally in the Fredonia and Dunkirk area as well as in Albany, Latham, at the famed Colony Cafe in Woodstock and in Waterbury, Vt.
It is always a special night when these old friends get together to recreate the music of the 1960s.
The current members are literally spread across the United States. Current Wretched Group members, or "wretchies," include Tom Benton of Woodstock on lead guitar and vocals, Hank McKee of Waterbury on lead vocals, Mike McEntarfer of Fredonia on organ and keyboards, Jim Modisher of Boulder, Colo., on bass guitar and vocals, Vince Gaeta of New York City on drums, Mickey Mamp of Fredonia on guitar and vocals, Rob Nichols of Cicero on guitar and vocals, and Ken Colby of Woodstock, Vt., on guitar and vocals.
The Wretched Group plays the classic songs of the 1960s including The Beatles, Rolling Stones, The Who, Jimi Hendrix, Cream, The Animals, Bob Dylan, and many other classic 1960's bands.
The Wretched Reunion 2013 Tour celebrates the 45th reunion of the Fredonia High School Class of 1968. They would like to invite everyone to join them at Rookies-On-The-Lake in Dunkirk on July 26. The event is open to the public.
Additional information about the Wretched Group may be found on their Facebook page.

What's not to love????????????Posted Tuesday, September 6, 2011, at 1:29 PM
Life goes on, and I'm gonna miss the summer. Every now and then I go thru pictures and just love remembering what was going on the day I took the photos.
These first photos are just a few days after we arrived in Cascade, and our horses were playing around. Naturally, I ran out to take the shots of what I consider great horses!
Below are "Beamer" and "Sammy" kickin' up their heels
Below is the horse that Al dubbed "Marshmallow" She's a favorite with everyone. Who doesn't love a golden Palomino with Flaxen mane and tail?
Jean is named "Blue Jean". She is a Blue Roan, hence the name. She hasn't done a lot yet, but her time is coming.
Marshmallow likes to carry a snack with her, basically at all times. If you look, most of these have grass in her mouth
We went for a drive one day, and this is some of what we saw.
I have a fascination with big rocks!
We saw lots of these during the summer.
I see you!
I took a walk and found this little guy stalking me
hmmm.... not sure what to title this. Ok, I'm gonna be honest, I didn't actually know what the story was here. They didn't look like the same insect to me, so I thought they were fighting. or something.... til Wayne asked me, "Why did you take this picture of them....." hmm..... oh well.....
They call it "God's Country" I don't wonder why
I got to ride in this place every day..... can you believe my luck?

Really like the pictures. They seem better than ever, using new camera?
-- Posted by skeeter on Wed, Sep 7, 2011, at 6:04 AM
Skeeter, thanks! Well, some of the "gotta grab my camera before it's over" pictures, just don't have time to get things right, just wanna capture. Alot of these sceneries, I stop and take the time to make sure it's what I mean to get.
Same camera most of the time. I've been working on it, and been winning some competitions with my shots. However, I've seen some stuff while out in the fields without my camera, and only had my phone in my pocket. So I come to skidding halt on my horse, pull out my phone, and take a picture with that. One of those won an Idaho contest, but it was the beauty that caught my eye at the time that really won it. I just happened to see and recognize it! Thanks though, I do really appreciate that!

You'll see lots of my Children and Grand children, along with others in my family. Of course there will be horses and horse related things, and things I photo'd horseback.

Dreaming of the beach? Nancy Vienneau, our resident supper club guru, is too.
It�s been awhile since I�ve had one of those idyllic beach vacations, but here�s my dream: After having spent the morning at the ocean, I�ll return to the cottage that overlooks it. I�ll take a seat at a table under an umbrella, and sip a cool spritzer, made with rhubarb and mint. I�ll make a sandwich with slices of pineapple-peach glazed ham on cheddar biscuits and nosh on deviled eggs sparked with capers. Capping off my meal, I�ll indulge in this crazy-simple dessert, called Atlantic Beach Pie. Have you heard of it? It�s based on lemon/key lime pie recipes, but has a crust made from saltine crackers. The contrast of that salty crust with the intense sweet-tart citrus filling, balanced with plain whipped cream is the stuff of dream beach vacations. Ah, the salt air, the lap of waves, a piercing blue sky, a gentle breeze� Are you with me? I thought so. �By Nancy Vienneau, a food writer in Nashville, Tenn.

The major movie studios are taking 3D content from cinemas to the home as TV manufacturers ship increasing numbers of stereo-3D-ready TVs. While these efforts are aimed at the home theater environment, the trend is enabling the next evolution of stereo-3D, S3D on mobile devices. In-Stat expects that the number of 3D-enabled mobile devices shipped in 2014 will surpass 60 million units.
"Due to advancements in autostereoscopic 3D technology, a type of 3D technology that does not require glasses to view S3D images, 3D technology is finding its way into mobile devices. The more predictable viewing distance of mobile devices enables a compelling and convenient 3D experience," said Stephanie Ethier, a senior analyst at In-Stat.
Tablets, smartphones, and handheld game consoles, will incorporate 3D more quickly than other portable devices. Naturally, penetration rates will be highest in the handheld game console market segment.
"Additionally, many of the chipsets found in today's smartphones have the processing power to handle 3D content; therefore the smartphones promise the largest opportunity for mobile 3D technology suppliers over the next five years," added Mr. Ethier.
By 2012, 3D-enabled smartphones will represent 45% of all 3D-enabled mobile devices shipments, according to findings by In-Stat.

Rosburg to coach in Super Bowl
While the Minnesota Vikings failed to advance past the NFL wild-card game on Jan. 5, football fans in Fairmont and the surrounding area have a good reason to cheer for another purple-clad team in Sunday's Super Bowl.
Jerry Rosburg, a 1974 Fairmont High School graduate and former Cardinal prep football standout, will be donning a headset along the Baltimore Ravens' sideline at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans.
Rosburg has served as the Ravens' assistant head coach and special teams coordinator since the 2009 season after joining Baltimore head coach John Harbaugh's staff in 2008.
"Everyone affiliated with the National Football League aspires to reach this game (Super Bowl)," Rosburg said in a telephone interview last Friday. "We consider the National Football League as the most competitive sport in the world, and to go through a stern test to get to this point of the season is quite an accomplishment. But just making it here (Super Bowl) is not enough – our (the Ravens' organization) goal is to win the game."
Ironically, as special teams coordinator, Rosburg will officially coach the Super Bowl's first play when either Baltimore kicker Justin Tucker connects on the official 5:30 p.m. kickoff or the Ravens' Jacoby Jones returns the San Francisco 49ers' opening kick.
"We (special teams coaches) have an expression in the NFL when it comes to what we do – we have one play to be perfect," Rosburg said.
And the Fairmont native has fueled an incredible 34-year football coaching career on the strength of his expertise in flawlessly teaching the "third phase of the game."
In fact, Rosburg's special-teams units are ranked No. 1 overall in the NFL for the 2012 season by the nationally-renown Football Outsiders' website.
While the pride of Fairmont has literally made a name for himself in the NFL as a special-teams guru, including his first coaching stint in the professional ranks with the Cleveland Browns (2001-06) and then the Atlanta Falcons (2007), Rosburg built a stellar collegiate coaching resume on the strength of his defensive knowledge.
Ironically, his first collegiate coaching stint at Northern Michigan University led Rosburg to cross paths for the first time with now long-time friend John Harbaugh.
"John and I go back to my days of coaching the defense at Northern Michigan, and he and his father were at Western Michigan," Rosburg said. "We met at a University of Michigan high school football camp and both of us were working with the special teams. We talked a lot when we were there and became friends.
"Ironically, I was on the coaching staff that replaced the Harbaughs at Western Michigan in 1987, and we both met our wives at the same place."
John Harbaugh later recommended Rosburg for the linebackers/special teams/secondary coaching job at the University of Cincinnati in 1992, and the Fairmont native continued his meteoric rise through the collegiate ranks.
Rosburg coached the University of Minnesota Golden Gophers' defensive secondary in 1996 before taking the same job at Boston College for the 1997-98 campaigns. He then served as the cornerbacks/special teams coach for Notre Dame in 1999-2000 before making the leap to the NFL ranks with Cleveland in 2001.
Now, the former Fairmont all-state linebacker and All-America linebacker at North Dakota State University stands only one victory away from what many primetime sports analysts consider the apex of the professional sporting world – a Super Bowl championship.
"Unfortunately, at the time I graduated from college, NFL scouts didn't have the same assessment of my skills as I did," a chuckling Rosburg said in reference to his aspirations to play on the pro gridiron on Sundays instead of coaching the game. "But everything worked out very well for me and my family.
"I have a wonderful home town and I'm proud to be from Fairmont. It was a great community to grow up in, and I appreciate everybody's support back there (on Sunday)."

2005 Carnaval Fundraising - "Thank you!"
December 2004
American Community Donors
On behalf of the children of Cozumel and the Carnaval Committee, I would like to thank each one of you for your generosity and participation in our Carnaval 2005 Fundraising Campaign. What an incredible year we've had with existing donors increasing their contributions and many new donors stepping forward this year to make the campaign a success! In this, our sixth year, I am pleased to report the American Community of Cozumel has generously pledged to donate over
to our Carnaval 2005 Campaign. All donors deserve a gracious round of applause for crossing over the $10K milestone this year! Not since "pre-9/11" had we even been close to raising this amount so I hope this is an indicator of what future campaigns will bring!
As I have explained before, these funds are distributed through the teachers in the school systems and go toward reducing the costs associated with a child participating in a school dance group for Carnaval. The funds you have provided don't make it "free" for each child but makes it more affordable for everyone. By reducing the costs, more children can participate in Carnaval each year.
Cozumel's Carnaval is a family event where children's activities are just as important as adult activities.
The islanders know that those who participate in Carnaval at a young age will remain "Carnavaleros" all their lives and help keep Cozumel's Mexican island traditions alive for generations to come. So by subsidizing dance groups and costumes we are helping to ensure that island traditions of Carnaval continue as we know them today.
There are many activities each week from January 15th until Carnaval weekend so check the
Calendar of Events
and consult the printed programs I will be distributing as they become available. The printed Carnaval 2005 Program focuses on the children's dance competition activities and also gives the main dance and parade dates and times.
Please note
that a children's parade and a marine vessel parade have been added this year on Monday February 14th! Plan to attend as many events as you can so you can see the results of your donations at work!!
This organized campaign and your contribution to it goes a long way in showing the families of Cozumel that Americans do more than just live and work on the island - we also give back to the community in positive ways. Thank you again so very much for supporting this cause. I look forward to seeing you enjoy Carnaval 2005!!
If you have any questions about Carnaval activities, please contact me at 869-0504.

Angry Orchard's David Sipes Gets Samuel Adams to Try Cider
It's a tradition that followed the area's British and Irish settlers and one that continues in Irish pubs and roadside watering holes to this day, much as it does in the European countries that spawned it. It was here that Boston Beer's (SAM) Angry Orchard was first leaked to the drinking public surrounding its Samuel Adams brewery in Boston's Jamaica Plain neighborhood in 2011, and here that Angry Orchard began building the base that made it the top cider brand in the country after it was released broadly in April 2012, according to market research firm SymphonyIRI Group .
For Angry Orchard cider maker David Sipes -- who drew from European influence and sources to make the brand's mainstay Crisp, Traditional, Ginger and Elderflower varieties as well as well as the stronger brews in its limited-release Cider House Collection -- that broad cider-loving base represents growth potential just waiting to be juiced. As recent shifts in the brewing industry have uncovered, Sipes isn't the only one who sees cider's untapped power.
According to SymphonyIRI Group, hard cider sales at supermarkets and other stores hit about $90 million for the 12 months ending Oct. 30. That's up more than 65% from a year earlier and outpaces the 5.6% growth of wine and the 13% growth of the craft beer segment in 2011, as well the 1.7% growth overall beer sales in 2012. SymphonyIRI's research excludes sales at liquor stores and discount stores such as Wal-Mart (WMT) , which may downplay cider's growth a bit, but Sipes is getting a whole lot of company from big brewers who want a bite of the cider market.
Hard cider sales still get tossed into the overall beer market and account for 0.2% of sales, according to a report by Nomura Research , which is a sixth of the 1.2% market share held by Boston Beer. Half of cider's consumer base is made up of women, though, compared with only 20% for beer. It also sells for an average $35 a case, according to Nomura. That's well above the $29-a-case paid for imported beers and $33 brought in by craft beer.
As a result, Nielsen ranked Angry Orchard among its Top 10 beer growth brands at the end of 2012. Granted, it grabbed only 0.1% of the market's volume and 0.2% of its share, but just remember that all the cider in the U.S. combined is only 0.2% of the beer market by volume. That was just after MolsonCoors (TAP) and SABMiller joint venture MillerCoors scooped up Minnesota-based craft cider maker Crispin for a reported $40 million last February.

Discipline Unit
The Investigations Unit of the DWC Medical Unit investigates complaints about physicians in the workers' compensation system. In some cases, the person who contacts the DWC Medical Unit is interviewed to obtain further information; then a letter is sent to the physicians (QME) asking for a response to the complaint. In other cases, a field investigation is conducted, including witness interviews and collection of other evidence, prior to contacting the QME. Investigations which reveal misconduct are referred to the administrative director and/or a licensing agency, the complaining party is advised by letter of the outcome of the investigation. Complaints can be sent by mail to the Investigations Unit, DWC Medical Unit, PO Box 71010 Oakland, CA 94612 or emailed to firstname.lastname@example.com. The unit also has a toll free number where a message can be left anonymously. It is important to leave sufficient information so that the unit can respond to a complaint properly. The number is 1-800-999-1041.
DWC Medical Unit provides a QME medical evaluation complaint form for your use.
The information below summarizes final disciplinary action taken by the administrative director. Decisions by the administrative director to impose discipline which are under reconsideration or appeal are not considered final decisions and not posted here until final. During the appeal process, a QME may continue to perform evaluations in some cases. Call 1-800-794-6900 for information.
Precedential decisions
What is a precedent?
"Precedent" is a group of decisions which include significant legal or policy determinations, and are designed to guide an administrative law judge in deciding cases involving the DWC Medical Unit. The authority to establish precedent for administrative matters, by identifying cases and certifying them, was established fairly recently although precedent is used routinely by judges in other civil cases and in criminal cases. Precedent is important to parties in a legal case involving the department, because the precedent establishes what the DWC Medical Unit has done in the past, and why. The procedures that apply to an administrative case are in the Administrative Procedures Act and are more fully described by the Office of Administrative Hearings, which assigns judges to make the decisions in the cases.
How is a decision, which is relied upon as precedent, used?
The administrative law judge is required to apply the principles of the DWC Medical Unit's precedent, to the extent that the facts and issues are the same. The judge's final decision must be consistent with the precedential decisions. An attorney for the DWC Medical Unit may, in an administrative case, bring one or more of the decisions to the administrative law judge's attention when it appears that the facts and other issues are the same or similar. If you are a respondent in a case involving the DWC Medical Unit, and you believe that one or more of the decisions which the department identified as precedent is binding in your case, you should inform the department and administrative law judge at the time of the hearing or before the hearing.
How can I obtain a copy of DWC Medical Unit's precedent?
Decisions designated as precedent, as well as the index, are available here on the DWCMU Web site. Copies of these decisions may also be requested by contacting the DWC Medical Unit. A charge of 10 cents per page will be assessed if your request exceeds 100 pages.

On May 31, 2012, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton visited Copenhagen, Denmark, as the first leg of her official trip to seven different countries. In Denmark, the Secretary met with H.M. Queen Margrethe II, engaged with Danish youth at a "townterview" hosted by TV2 anchor Johannes Langkilde, attended a luncheon meeting at the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and held a bilateral discussion with Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt at the Oak Room, Christianborg Palace. Concluding her official visit in Denmark, Secretary Clinton also launched the Green Partnerships for Growth, a collaborative effort between the U.S. Embassy in Copenhagen, Dansk Industri, and AmCham Denmark.
In her remarks with Danish Foreign Minister Villy Sovndal Secretary Clinton said, "The friendship between our two countries dates back more than two centuries and the bonds between our people have endured over that time. Our commitment to democracy, to human rights, to human dignity is core to all of us. And this morning I had the great privilege of speaking with a group of Danish young people about the kind of future that we hope awaits them."
The Secretary's discussion with Danish youths covered a broad range of topics, including Syria, Libya, nuclear proliferation, and global women's issues. Secretary Clinton encouraged the young people to "get in the game, dare to compete; be part of charting the new future." She said, "We need to recognize that youth empowerment is a concept that has arrived, if there were ever any doubt about it. Years ago in the 1960s, which I know sounds like ancient history, I can well remember our own efforts to try to change the direction of a war, to change the direction of a society. And today, what I see is that young people need a chance to be more involved in and more empowered to be involved in the decisions that affect them."
Secretary Clinton also touched on the current crisis in Europe. She said, "Obviously, it is for Europeans to determine the way forward. Whether you are in the EU and/or in the Eurozone, the European project deserves support, in our view. And I know that in hard times, people can be led to hunker down or even build walls to go back to the old divisions that so -- for so long, bedeviled Europe.
"But the values underlying the European project are still true today. The belief that a country's and a people's strength depends in part on whether your neighbors are strong and prosperous, that the best way for people to get ahead is through partnership with one another, rather than at each other's expense. Whether you are Danish or Italian, Latvian or Spanish, there should be a place for you in the European community. And the dream of a Europe in which all people from all backgrounds live and work in dignity and peace is what inspired generations that came before you to persist in the European project."

Doane College
Streamline library management workflows
"WorldShare Management Services has revolutionized our cataloging process. We can now catalog items as we receive them, and that frees up our cataloger for other projects."
Julie Pinnell
Director of Perkins Library, Doane College
In June 2012, Doane College's current ILS contract was due to expire. After reviewing their options, Doane decided to make the move to WorldShare® Management Services (WMS).
"In our library's five-year strategic plan, it called for providing an integrated discovery service for students and a mobile app or mobile capability. We chose WorldShare Management Services because it packaged together all of the things that we were looking for in a really affordable way," said Julie Pinnell, Director of Perkins Library at Doane College.
What were the results? Students were pleased with the discovery service built into WMS and, according to Julie, "They frequently tell us how much they love it and how easy it is to use." And once faculty heard that students liked the service, they requested more in-class information literacy instruction—twice as much as the year before!
For library staff, ease of use and workflow improvements have resulted in real time savings. For example, integration of the WorldCat® knowledge base allows staff to add e-books very easily. As one staff member said, "There is an 'on/off' switch in the knowledge base, and you just find the title and turn it on."
"OCLC customer service overall has been just terrific. I cannot give them high enough praise for all of the things that they did to make our lives easier during the migration. The training we had during implementation was wonderful, and there were many different types of training resources."
In short, as a member of Doane's cataloging staff said, "The main thing is that cataloging is so much easier in WorldShare Management Services." Julie added, "My staff did not like our old ILS's acquisitions module and had refused to use it. Now, with WorldShare Acquisitions, it is much easier to track everything because all of our acquisitions records are in one place. It has been revolutionary for us."
The results of WMS go beyond functionality, though. "We have a wonderful archive and special collections," Julie told us. "But we did not have any staff available to work with them. Since we implemented WorldShare Management Services, our cataloger now has time to work with our archive—something I considered to be an undiscovered treasure."

Saving an amphib of another kind: Meridian Day TwoThursday, September 10th, 2009
Meanwhile, we launched this evening for some approaches at Melbourne. The GFC 700 autopilot is amazingly capable, but learning all its tricks will take some time–especially the Vnav modes. Check out the varied missed approaches MLB handed us for ILS, GPS, and VOR approaches–always to the south: http://flightaware.com/live/flight/N6101G
We spent the morning in the classroom further looking into the Pratt and details about the pressurization system. In the sim, I roasted about $1 million worth of simulated engines, but then just flew away–hot starts, hung starts, wet starts.
Tomorrow promises more emergencies and other maladies to haunt me in the sim and perhaps in the airplane too. Follow N6101G at FlightWare.
Still looking for your G1000 and Meridian operating tricks.

Has anyone not received their ordered teas ? I think it just happened to me. Usually I get an Hibiki-an order in about 5 days (free shipping option - no tracking). That's two weeks now and I haven't received the teas. I already got an order on Monday from Yuuki-cha placed the very same day (also no tracking) as Hibiki-an.
How long should I wait before really declaring (eg. convincing myself) it lost ? Has any vendor in this case shipped extra teas ? I guess not. I wouldn't.
So I wonder what are the practical risks involved. Does the majority of people use the tracking option at a more expensive fee ? In the years, how many orders were not received ? As for me I only started last year, so I haven't place that many orders yet. Thanks for any feedback - cheers.

The rest of her hair is combed back behind the ears and on top into this smooth look. The hair is then gathered at back and styled into an updo.The hair is cut long.The hair colour is a medium ash blonde.

Speech From The Throne
Routine Proceedings
1:40 p.m.
Gilbert Fillion Chicoutimi, QC
Mr. Speaker, it is a shame that my colleague took three-quarters of his time to quote some headlines. Of course, he picked those he found most appropriate, because he knew that if he were to go over everything that has been said or written since the throne speech, he would find that 25 per cent of the headlines are for the government and 75 per cent are against.
I will try to get from him an answer to a question I put to one of his colleagues earlier. It is the same question. Given the contradictory statements by ministers on the issue of partition, could my colleague tell the House if he agrees with the Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs?
Speech From The Throne
Routine Proceedings
1:40 p.m.
Ronald J. Duhamel St. Boniface, MB
Mr. Speaker, there were several points to be made about the little speech we just heard.
The first is on quotations. My colleague says that 75 per cent of the headlines are against the government and 25 per cent are for the government. It would then appear that I only read from the 25 per cent in support of the government. It is not true at all. The hon. member should prove what he claims. I do not believe him. I am not trying to impugn his motives, but I think he is having trouble with figures this morning for some reason. Maybe it is because of the other questions he asked.
Earlier, he asked what we were doing to create jobs. First of all, we have to ensure that our financial house is in order. The hon. member knows full well that the Minister of Finance, the Prime Minister and the Government of Canada have seen to it. We are gradually making progress, and the problem will be solved. But there is more. Everyone knows that we set up an infrastructure program, which created more than 100,000 jobs. And it is not over yet. Everyone knows that more than 500,000 jobs have been created since 1993. Not by ourselves, but with some help. Everyone knows about the major challenge issued in the throne speech, whereby the private sector is asked to get involved and to help us create jobs.
On the issue of partition, my colleague knows very well what the government's position is. It is very clear and it continues to evolve, as it should.

Dick Harris Prince George—Bulkley Valley, BC
Mr. Speaker, we listened to the member for St. Boniface and what we have heard is a typical Liberal operation.
The member talked about involving the business community and the private sector in creating hope in the economy and creating hope for the youth of our country. This is just typical Liberal fashion. The Liberals are offloading the responsibilities they have not been able to take over the last two years on to the private sector. For more than two years businesses in the private sector have been telling government to get out of their face. Get out of their face so that they can get on to doing business. If we are to believe what the hon. member for St. Boniface is saying, the Liberals plan on getting back in the face of business in a way that they have never been there before.
Business has been saying, leave us alone. If government wants to do something, lower our cost of doing business, lower the taxation levels so that we can make some more money, so that we can invest, so that we can hire people, so that we can give some hope on our own to the people. What this member is saying ain't gonna work.

Ronald J. Duhamel St. Boniface, MB
Mr. Speaker, I welcome the question. My colleague's solution is simplistic. Let business take care of the country. Let business pocket the profits. One does not have to care about one's fellow Canadians. Just stuff more and more in and it will all resolve itself.
I am sorry but those simplistic solutions to complex problems have never worked and they will not work in this instance either. The corporate sector has a responsibility to its fellow Canadians. If it is going to make money, let it make darn sure that Canadians are employed. It is those Canadians who are employed who help them make more money.
Point Of Order
Routine Proceedings
February 29th, 1996 / 1:45 p.m.
The Deputy Speaker
Dear colleagues, before recognizing the hon. member for Kamouraska-Rivière-du-Loup, I must rule on the point of order that was raised the other day. Here is the Speaker's ruling on the point of order raised on February 27 by the hon. member for Laurier-Sainte-Marie regarding the procedural acceptability of government business Motion No. 1 standing in the name of the hon. government House leader.
I also wish to thank the hon. members for Lethbridge and Winnipeg Transcona, the government House leader and the chief government whip for their contributions to the debate.
Reinstatement of business from one session to another is not uncommon in our practice. In our parliamentary experience, there are a number of occasions where bills and other forms of business from one session have been brought forward to another session either by unanimous consent or, more recently, as was the case in 1991 by way of a government motion moved after notice.
The question before us is not whether business can be reinstated from one session to another, but whether Government Business
No. 1 which provides a mechanism where bills from the first session may be reinstated to this session is procedurally in order.
Speaker Fraser noted in his ruling of May 29, 1991-much referred to in the debate-at page 734 of the Debates that he could find nothing in our rules or practices to preclude the reinstatement of bills by way of motion. He therefore permitted debate to proceed on the government motion that had been moved. He was concerned that members would be afforded an adequate opportunity to express their assent or dissent on each item to be reinstated and therefore ruled that separate questions be put on each bill to be reinstated.
The same concern has been expressed most eloquently by hon. members with regard to the proposed government motion. In our current circumstances the motion does not list specific pieces of legislation to be reinstated. Rather it provides a mechanism whereby both private members and the ministry would have an opportunity to revive legislation from the last session. There is nothing procedurally objectionable per se to the adoption of a motion setting in place such a mechanism.
However, as the hon. member for Winnipeg Transcona pointed out, pursuant to Standing Orders 68(2) and 69(1), motions for leave to introduce a bill and for first reading and printing shall be deemed carried, without debate, amendment or question put, that is to say, in the words of Speaker Fraser, without the hon. members of the House having a say in the matter.
I remind hon. members that our proceedings are generally arranged to provide hon. members with the opportunity to express their views on matters that come before the House. While the House would, of course, be able to vote on reinstated bills at subsequent stages of the legislative process, the Chair acknowledges the hon. members' concerns that under the terms of the third paragraph of the motion in issue, hon. members would not be able to take any decision on the bills that had passed all stages in the House and which were under study in the Senate when Parliament had prorogued.
While I do not believe it is within my power to unilaterally amend a motion which is procedurally in order, I would remind hon. members that during the course of the debate on this motion there will be ample opportunity for them to propose amendments to provide the members of the House with the means to express their assent or dissent on the reinstatement of each bill in issue. Of course, members may also choose to vote against the motion.
Both elements of this motion, that is, the first element dealing with the mechanism for the reinstatement of bills and the second element dealing with amendments to the standing orders dealing with supply, specify how certain items of business will be dealt with during the first part of this session. As both elements relate to the business of the House, the motion is not a complicated question. Therefore, one debate will be held on the motion and one question will be put on the motion.
I thank all my colleagues for their contributions to this important matter.
The House resumed consideration of the motion.
Speech From The Throne
Routine Proceedings
1:50 p.m.
Paul Crête Kamouraska—Rivière-Du-Loup, QC
Mr. Speaker, I welcome this opportunity to speak in reply to the speech from the throne because, over the past few months, we were able to get in touch with our constituents and finally stock up on the ideas they want us to put across in this House so that Quebec and Canada will be more in line with what the people of Quebec and Canada want.
The first message that was systematically conveyed to me by every person I was able to contact, which is not reflected in the speech from the throne, is to the effect of rejecting the unfair application of the marketplace rules of the road.
In this speech from the throne, there are many instances where the government gives up exercising its duties as a government.
Take the UI reform for example. On this subject, the speech from the throne says that it will go on as scheduled, that this plan to cut $2 billion will go ahead as scheduled, without any changes to the fiscal parameters. This is in direct contradiction with the first few paragraphs of the speech, in which the governor general speaks of the compassion of Canadians. There is a contradiction between what the government is advocating and the objectives we have always pursued in Quebec and in Canada.
How can the government talk about compassion and honouring Canada's traditional values while at the same time requiring, for instance, that any first-time UI claimant have accumulated 910 hours of work? These 910 hours amount to 26, 35-hour weeks of work, but previously, the unemployed needed only work a minimum of 15 hours a week during 20 weeks, or a total of 300 hours, to qualify for unemployment insurance.
The baseline has now been raised to 910 hours. Might as well condemn every young person and anyone working in a seasonal industry to live off welfare for the rest of their lives. This is clearly and simply an incentive to moonlight. This government is systematically encouraging moonlighting.
Another aspect of the speech from the throne that deals with the UI reform and which will certainly prompt members from the Maritimes to jump to their feet and respond has to do with the rule regarding the number of weeks of work. The current UI reform penalizes seasonal workers because they work in seasonal industries. Does the government intend to maintain this type of situation? Will it stick to the principles underlying Bill C-111, or will it do as it is being asked to by everyone, that is withdraw this legislation and start over again, from scratch, and propose a UI reform that truly reflects the values dear to Quebecers and Canadians? Did the government not get the message? Have all MPs from the maritimes not been told by their constituents that this reform was unacceptable, that it did not at all reflect the values of Quebec and Canada?
Old age pensions are another component of social program reform where the government shows no compassion.
The speech from the throne says that it will be necessary to reform the Canada pension plan so as to maintain its viability. The government no longer talks about ensuring the survival of old people through a minimum income that would allow them to have a decent quality of life. Not at all.
The government is only concerned with the plan's viability. Once again, as with the UI reform, the issue becomes strictly a matter of dollars and cents. The government will do to old age pensions what it did to unemployment insurance, that is make the most vulnerable people pay. Is this what a government which is now half-way through its mandate should do? The government should ask itself why it was elected and where it is headed.
The measures proposed in the speech from the throne do not reflect the demands of Quebecers and Canadians in the least.
There is another issue that my constituents keep referring to. They told us that they expected their governments to create jobs. We have to find ways. I will tell you what a worker told me: "We need to find a way of taxing machines." New technologies have transformed the workplace over the last few years and everyone knows that we cannot stop progress, but as these new technologies are being implemented, as eight out of ten jobs disappear, the government has the responsibility to ensure that quick and effective retraining programs are available, especially for unskilled workers. These people must not become the victims of technology. There is no reason why workers should be pushed aside because of technological change.
We must accept technological change, we must make sure that we are competitive, but we must not act in a way that does not respect the human being and the right of each individual to develop his or her full potential and use it for the benefit of society.
I do not see anything along these lines in the speech from the throne. Have you found, in the speech from the throne, things that lead us to believe that the government will give the highest priority to job creation, to the use of workers and to the development of each individual's skills? Have you seen any of that in the speech from the throne? I have found nearly nothing on that subject.
Yesterday, the Minister of Human Resources Development had to give some clarifications on youth employment. The text says that the government will double the number of federal summer student jobs. The minister has since told us that it will not only be in the federal public service, but everywhere.
Should we believe what is in the text or should we believe what the minister says? For now, according to what we see in the speech from the throne, there will be lots of jobs in every area where there are federal departments, and it so happens that there are lots of them in the national capital region.
But will the measure promised in the speech from the throne have the desired result in the areas where federal departments are less present, for example in La Pocatière where the experimental farm has been closed down, where there are fewer and fewer people in the Canada employment centres and where you can count federal employees on your fingers? Never in a million years!
We will get the opposite effect to what we want if we concentrate jobs where they are less needed and allow for fewer of them where they are cruelly needed. The government must correct its range and adjust to what has to be done.
Perhaps the main point that people everywhere mentioned to me is that they want to be respected. There is nothing like that in this speech from the throne. They say to Quebecers: "We are going to control the way you will be consulted on your own future". Quebecers are told that all Canadians will have their say about Quebec's own future; this shows a blatant lack of respect. It proves that they have completely lost touch with the people of Quebec. It shows that they have in no way understood the result of last fall's referendum.
The government must clearly and definitely change its position on that and say unequivocally that it will respect the choice Quebecers made, just as sovereignists did in 1980 and again in 1995; it must recognize that there is a democratic process to be followed and accept the people's choice.
Quebecers have a right to be respected and expect the Canadian government, the Canadian Parliament to do so.
Mr. Speaker, I will continue after question period.
Speech From The Throne
Routine Proceedings
1:55 p.m.
The Speaker
Absolutely, and you will then be recognized.
It being two o'clock, we will now go on to statements by members.
Statements By Members
1:55 p.m.
Peter Adams Peterborough, ON
Mr. Speaker, I was pleased that the speech from the throne focused on youth, the mobility of Canadians within Canada and science and technology. I was also pleased that we will build in a cash minimum in the Canada health and social transfer. All of these emphases will be good for the economy and the future of our nation.
I urge the Minister of Finance to recognize in his budget that our colleges and universities are already involved in all of these throne speech themes and are greatly affected by the block transfers. They are one of the great focuses for our young people. They provide for and encourage the movement of Canadians within Canada and they are the foundation of our science and technology. I hope the minister remembers they are also key beneficiaries of the Canada health and social transfer.
We must do all we can to sustain and strengthen higher education in Canada.
Minister Of Justice
Statements By Members
1:55 p.m.
Bernard St-Laurent Manicouagan, QC
Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Justice is now a card-carrying member in good standing of the Club to annihilate the right of the people of Quebec to determine its own future. After the irresponsible statements by certain ministers of the government, Stéphane Dion in particular, now we have the Minister of Justice following suit.
Last fall, he was stating that the wishes of the people of Quebec were to be given priority, not the method by which sovereignty was to be decided upon. Now this week we find the minister doing an about-face, contemplating asking the Supreme Court for an opinion on the legality of a future Quebec referendum.
The Minister of Justice believes that Quebec's fate is tied to the consultations that he deems appropriate. He is wrong. Quebecers are the ones who will determine their own fate, regardless of what the minister says.
Statements By Members
1:55 p.m.
Bob Mills Red Deer, AB
Mr. Speaker, I have some good news for Canadian curling fans. The World Junior Curling Championships are being held in my riding of Red Deer, Alberta between March 9 and March 17.
This bodes well for Canadian success because, as many will remember, last year Red Deer hosted the World Junior Hockey Championship and the best team won: Canada, of course. Now it is time to show the world that we do not just have the best hockey players but the best curlers as well.
Come on out March 9 to 17 and watch the world's best compete for the curling domination. What better way to promote Canadian unity as Canadians from coast to coast gather at the Red Deer curling rink to watch the action.
I am willing to bet that even hardened separatists who come will be converted and will end up pulling for Team Canada, the home team, our team.
Speech From The Throne
Statements By Members
1:55 p.m.
Jag Bhaduria Markham—Whitchurch-Stouffville, ON
Mr. Speaker, Tuesday's throne speech was an attempt by the government to appease Canadians about the deplorable state of our economy, to comfort them about our social programs and to reinforce their vision of a united Canada. Now the government must deliver all the promises in the red book. Canadians will not tolerate any more rhetoric and false promises.
Job creation should have been the number one priority of the government and the impending budget has to address this issue if Canadians are to continue to have faith in the Prime Minister. Throughout the first half of his mandate economic growth has been dismally lacking and job creation has been almost non-existent. Nothing short of full employment can bring national unity and prosperity to Canada.
Reducing interest rates to even lower levels is the only way to stimulate economic growth and job creation. Mr. Prime Minister, the choice is yours.
Black History Month
Statements By Members
1:55 p.m.
Gurbax Malhi Bramalea—Gore—Malton, ON
Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to rise today in honour of the important role black Canadians have played in our nation's history.
During black history month we can all feel proud of the contributions made by black Canadians in every sphere of Canadian life.
In 1793 Upper Canada's first lieutenant governor, John Graves Simcoe, helped to free black slaves living in Upper Canada. In time this brave act would clear the way for people like Lincoln Alexander, Ontario's first black lieutenant governor in 1985.
By honouring the achievements of black Canadians, the House has given all Canadians a greater understanding of the richness of black history.
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Derek Wells South Shore, NS
Mr. Speaker, for the past several months I have been meeting with fishermen's organizations at round tables to try to reach a consensus on many of the major issues facing the fishery today.
I expressed to them my deep commitment to the inshore fishery and to the small coastal communities that rely on the prosperity generated by this sector of the fishery.
For the past month fishermen in my riding and adjoining ridings throughout Nova Scotia have participated in demonstrations and have occupied Department of Fisheries and Oceans offices across the province in protest of new policies they feel will be harmful to the inshore fishery.
Unfortunately since the occupation of DFO offices which began in Barrington in my riding of South Shore, the lines of communication between the fishermen and the department have not been open. I have met and will continue to meet with the leaders of the fishing organizations.
Last week I attended two round tables in order to maintain an open dialogue. I urge those involved to move beyond the present impasse so that the issues causing this conflict can be resolved by dialogue in a productive and rational manner.
Quebec Chamber Of Commerce
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Bernard Patry Pierrefonds—Dollard, QC
Mr. Speaker, the Quebec Chamber of Commerce has reacted very favourably to the speech from the throne presented by our government a little earlier this week.
Its president, Mr. Michel Audet, feels that our withdrawal from areas of provincial jurisdiction bodes well for future co-operation, as well as for some of Quebec's traditional demands in the constitutional area.
The Quebec Chamber of Commerce invites the PQ government to shows good will by establishing "a dialogue with the other provinces and with the federal government to find concrete solutions in areas that will encourage job creation and investment".
Canadians across the country are encouraging us to work together in seeking solutions to our collective problems. We follow the example of the Quebec Chamber of Commerce in issuing an invitation to the Government of Quebec to collaborate with us.

I think its time to have a real discussion on the subject of aging (puerh in this case).
Not because he is a friend, or someone I respected greatly, but because he consistently ask the right questions, called out BS, and have been answering us on teachat with Real research and knowledge. Therefore, I encourage people who really care about aging puerh to read this:
http://www.marshaln.com/2012/10/aging-p ... 1481237582
So, we can begin a positive discussion with real personal experience, rather than googled answers or made believe knowledge.
First question, do you think we can age puerh any where? How is your experience with people at least have 5 years of aging, and over 50 cakes?

Over the past two decades, I've watched a lot of Celebration events. I've watched them while pregnant, and with babies on my back, while keeping half an eye on errant toddlers and with (and without) my sulky teenagers. Every year I've been thrilled by the visual richness of Southeast Alaska Native culture, and grateful for the chance to appreciate it first-hand in such a dramatic way.
But this year, as I watched the grand entrance last Thursday, I was newly stunned by the artistry of what was in motion in front of me. I even found myself slack-jawed with amazement at a few points.

On a day set aside for sentimental confessions, here is a semi-unprofessional confession from the Arts desk: I tend to fall a little bit in love with the artists I interview. Not in a romantic or physical sense, but in the sense of being drawn to the inner fire that feeds their artistic passion. Gender, age, marital status – none of that really matters. I am blown away on a regular basis by the things that people say and the way their minds work.

If you missed the Juneau run of Perseverance Theatre's "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" and you're planning on being in Anchorage in April, I highly recommend you catch the production at the Alaska Center for the Performing Arts. This is a standout show, anchored by riveting performances on the part of the cast, particularly major players Enrique Bravo as Brick, Elizabeth M. Kelly as Maggie, and Herbert Siguenza as Big Daddy. The show, directed by Robert Barry Fleming, opens in Anchorage April 11 and runs through April 27.

This summer's weather is the mad rhino in the room. You can't really talk about it within Juneau city limits without exposing blatant denial — better to deal with it in private.

If you've never been to a First Friday art walk – maybe you live out the road or simply can't wait to get home after work on a Friday evening – this would be a great month to check it out. First Fridays used to feel a bit scaled back in the summers, but if this month's docket is any indication, that's no longer the case. As Juneau enters its 10th year of art walks, they appear to be stronger than ever.

By far, the best part of my job is listening to people talk about their passion for art. I can honestly say that in the hundreds of interviews I've conducted over the past three years, every single one has been interesting, largely for that reason: when you get people talking about why they've made art part of their lives, you eventually touch on the very things that make them tick. I'm often reminded after interviews that art is in many ways one of the purest expressions of our individuality, what makes each of us unique in a world of billions.

For the second year in a row, the Franklin Street Gallery at the Baranof Hotel has organized a month-long series of artists' studio visits – it's a great opportunity for locals to learn more about their favorite artists and to introduce themselves to those they may not know yet. The list of those participating is impressive, and includes some of Juneau's most prominent local artists. A total of 15 artists in all responded to the open call.
