Public Service Awards
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Judi Longfield Whitby—Ajax, ON
Mr. Speaker, in 1966 the Government of Canada introduced the Outstanding Achievement Award. This award, considered to be the most prestigious award in the public service, is presented annually as part of the Public Service Awards and Recognition Program managed by the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat.
On Tuesday, October 16, five senior public service employees were recognized for their exemplary accomplishments and their sustained commitment to excellence.
Cited for their outstanding achievements are: Peter M. Boehm, Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade; Rachel Corneille Gravel, Veterans Affairs Canada; David A. Dodge, formerly with Health Canada and currently with the Bank of Canada; Warren Edmonson, Labour Program, Human Resources Development Canada; and Dr. John Brian Morrissey, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada.
I know all members of the House join me in congratulating these very worthy recipients.

Joe Comartin Windsor—St. Clair, ON
Mr. Speaker, this Wednesday, October 24, Mr. John Haidar will receive the 2001 Citation for Citizenship, an award recognizing those who help newcomers adapt to Canadian society.
Mr. Haidar came to Canada from his native Lebanon in 1977 and became a Canadian citizen in 1980. In 1987 he became actively involved in assisting immigrants with the application process. He has, on a volunteer basis, worked with the local citizenship and immigration office to develop effective procedures to assist new immigrants. He has also worked closely with the Arab Canadian Intercultural Orientation Centre and the Windsor Islamic Association.
Over the years he has assisted over 700 new immigrants to the Windsor area, not only with the immigration process but also in their efforts to find employment, access health care and education. His efforts have been an exceptional asset to our community.
I extend my congratulations to John Haidar on the occasion of this well deserved award.
North Shore Economy
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Ghislain Fournier Manicouagan, QC
Mr. Speaker, the North Shore is currently facing an economic downturn, primarily because of the world iron crisis. Businesses have stopped work, and hundreds of jobs have been lost.
In Sept-Îles, the mining company, IOC, has stopped work on the biggest construction site in the world, the refurbishing of the pellet plant. Over 900 construction workers are without work. The reopening that had been planned for 2002 has been delayed, and the 140 jobs involved put on hold.
The federal government must provide immediate funding in order to help businesses in the riding that are doing everything they can at the moment to keep their heads above water.
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Judy Sgro York West, ON
Mr. Speaker, I remind all Canadians of the value of tolerance, respect and cultural diversity. Our country's diversity distinguishes it from most other countries. Our diversity has been a fundamental part of the Canadian landscape since its beginnings.
Since the tragic events of September 11, the problem of racial discrimination has become even more salient. Threats to the physical and emotional safety of individuals cannot be allowed if we are to maintain the tolerance that defines the spirit of our great nation. Now more than ever Canada's future depends on maintaining and strengthening its capacity to bring together people with many differences.
No one's identity or cultural heritage should be compromised. I ask that all members of the House unite to promote the fundamental belief that all Canadians are equal. Our diversity is an indispensable asset.
Employment Insurance
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Progressive Conservative
Loyola Hearn St. John's West, NL
Mr. Speaker, this is the time of year when many Canadians throughout the country who live in areas where there is a lot of seasonal employment find that they have not had enough work this year to qualify for employment insurance.
The minister the other day told the House the government had programs in place. There is nothing in place to help those who have not qualified for employment insurance, unless one lives in the district of the Minister of Industry who apparently is using ACOA money to provide programs that give people benefits.
I have no problem with that. I am glad the people in that area of the province did very well. However if it is fair for them it is fair for every other seasonal employee in the country. The minister should be careful because if he is to help the Minister of Industry he should also help foreign affairs, health, heritage, culture and finance, just to make sure we have a level playing field in the leadership race.
National Quality Month
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Tony Tirabassi Niagara Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, October is National Quality Month. It was established to promote organizational excellence, increased productivity and healthy workplaces in Canadian public and private organizations.
As part of National Quality Month this week has been designated Canada's Healthy Workplace Week. Sponsored by the National Quality Institute, the events of this week will encourage healthy workplace practices. Such practices include not only the physical work environment but also social atmosphere, management practices and an improvement in individual lifestyles of employees.
The health and well-being of employees are vital to productivity and the achievement of excellence. I encourage all Canadians to take a few moments to think about how they can work together toward a healthier work environment.
Joe Shoctor
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Canadian Alliance
Peter Goldring Edmonton Centre-East, AB
Mr. Speaker, Edmonton today is known as the city of champions because it has been blessed by the efforts and convictions of many who have worked tirelessly to support and encourage world class public venues from sports to theatre.
Tonight a tribute will be held in Edmonton for one true champion of the community. Tonight the late Joe Shoctor's name will be honoured, and rightly so. From modest beginnings Joe has left his mark for all time on Edmonton's sport and theatrical scenes. He has been particularly recognized for his civic achievements by being honoured with the Order of Canada and the Alberta Order of Excellence. Edmonton's world famous Citadel Theatre, being located on Shoctor Alley, needs no further mention.
Tonight a tribute will be held for a true Edmonton champion. Tomorrow and forever his name will be etched on Edmonton's honour roll of excellence. Joe Shoctor, a businessman, a visionary and an artist, helped paint the canvas of the vibrant city of Edmonton today. Joe Shoctor is an Edmonton champion.

Stockwell Day Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, we were pleased to hear that the Prime Minister has finally agreed to have talks with President Fox of Mexico and President Bush along the issue of creating a secure perimeter. We are pleased with that development and that change.
Unfortunately, he did not make that announcement here in the House of Commons. He made that, as is somewhat their pattern, outside of the House of Commons. As a matter of fact, he made it behind closed doors in China.
Will the Prime Minister now please grant us the courtesy in the House of Commons to announce that he indeed has a change of policy and will be pursuing a secure perimeter for continental North America?
National Security
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
Windsor West
Herb Gray Deputy Prime Minister
Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister did not announce at the APEC summit any change of policy. He simply said that the government would be carrying on talks with Mexico and the United States on a number of areas to work jointly on the fight against terrorism. It could be that border issues would come up during these discussions, but there has been no decision made on any change of policy. My hon. friend is mistaken.

Stockwell Day Leader of the Opposition
He should not keep blaming the media, Mr. Speaker.
The premiers of Quebec, British Columbia and six other provinces want the federal government to take action on the security perimeter question.
Can the government promise that it will hold a federal-provincial summit on the question of a security perimeter before any meeting takes place with our North American partners?

Canadian Alliance
Stockwell Day Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, we hear reports continually about suspected terrorists hiding in Toronto, or in Fort McMurray or simply roaming the countryside.
Will the Prime Minister please commit here in the House today that any discussions with our North American partners on securing the perimeter will definitely include changing the laws and the policies in Canada, so that we can detain and deport, if necessary, those who are deemed dangerous?
National Security
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
Windsor West
Herb Gray Deputy Prime Minister
Mr. Speaker, we know there is legislation before our parliament to tighten up our refugee and immigration system. We know that further announcements have been made by the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration. There is other legislation before the House.
I think we are acting very vigorously and responsibly as are our partners, like the United States. They have to tighten up their laws too based on the facts and evidence we know about in the press.
National Security
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
Canadian Alliance
Kevin Sorenson Crowfoot, AB
Mr. Speaker, we learned from immigration documents and the media that three men in Fort McMurray may have been connected with the September 11 attack on the United States. Canadians had to learn from the Sun newspapers that Nabil Al-Marabh, who was freed by the government's Immigration and Refugee Board, may be the chief al-Qaeda operative in North America and living in Canada. We also learned from the media that Mohammed Atta may have been working in Toronto.
When will the solicitor general put aside his canned answers and offer Canadians the information they need to know about the threats that exist here?
National Security
Oral Question Period
2:20 p.m.
Lawrence MacAulay Solicitor General of Canada
Mr. Speaker, my hon. colleague is big on mays, but it is pretty hard to be definite on mays or perhaps.
My hon. colleague is well aware that the RCMP and CSIS are working with the FBI and all other security agencies around the world to make sure people who could be connected with terrorism are brought in for questioning and, if they need to be arrested, they will be arrested.

On Oct., 18, 1950 Shirley was united in marriage to Gerald Forst at St. Gregory the Great Catholic Church in Lafayette. After marriage, Shirley was actively involved in a progressive family farm with her husband, Gerald in West Newton Township, Nicollet County. Shirley loved flowers and old time music. She and Gerald enjoyed dances and music festivals throughout the Midwest. They supported and encouraged young musicians to develop their craft and regularly hosted musicians who were traveling to their next engagement. Shirley was very resourceful, creative, and she enjoyed crafting and quilting. She was an avid gardener with a large vegetable garden, but Shirley was well known for her beautiful flower gardens. Flower enthusiasts would drive from throughout the area to view her iris garden. Shirley creatively displayed her Christmas village collection to share with friends and family. Shirley and Gerald enjoyed traveling and visited many places all over the world. She loved being involved in the lives of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren and chronicled their activities with photos, scrapbooks, and newspaper clippings. Shirley was a member of the St. George Catholic Church and the St. George CCW.
In lieu of flowers, memorials are preferred to New Ulm Hospice and the St. George Catholic Church.

Ted Kennedy, 77, died of brain cancer Tuesday night in his Cape Cod, Massachusetts home. An American legend, he is remembered through a career of both service and scandal.
"An important chapter in our history has come to an end," President Barack Obama said in a written statement. "Our country has lost a great leader, who picked up the torch of his fallen brothers and became the greatest United States senator of our time."
The youngest of the Kennedy family, Ted Kennedy was a liberal democrat who served four decades in the Senate and whose accomplishments include progress in education, health care, voting rights and minimum wage. Kennedy also worked hand-in-hand with Republicans to pass milestone legislation in these areas of concern.
Stalked by tragedy, the Kennedy family has been particularly affected by their political standing. Starting with the death of Joseph Jr. who died in an airplane crash in World War II, followed by the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1960, and ending with the assassination of Robert Kennedy in 1968 while on campaign, the Kennedy family has not be spared tragedy. Even Ted Kennedy's career was shadowed by scandal when he drove a car into a pond that killed his passenger, Mary Jo Kopechne, a former aid to Robert Kennedy.
But what Americans are really remembering is Ted Kennedy's legacy of service to the American people. President Obama hopes that "the torch will be passed to a new generation of Americans," he said. "The hope rises again and the dream lives on."
Ted Kennedy had been fighting brain cancer, after he was diagnosed last year. He is remembered by his family as well as the American people for his lifelong service to this country.Read More →

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (229 votes).
In short: Fast flat no frillsIn full: A few pinch points running in to runners coming the other way. Apart from that basics missing .... Drink station coming up... Really......Date of review: November 19, 2012
In short: Fast flat course; well organised; In full: Ran this in 2011 and 2012. Very quick course along the seafront. Perfect for beginners. Only issue with the course is the very narrow chicane like turn at the 1.5Km. Given there were 2700+ runners this slowed the pace down considerably.No water stations in 2011 but one in 2012 course which many would be happy with.Disappointing post-race goodies. Goody bag was pointless in 2011. No goody bag in 2012 despite info saying there would be! Only water at the end - no bananas, energy bars, energy drinks etc.Not enough portaloos for 2700+ runners. Otherwise a well organised event. Numbers, information sent out very early.Will run this again.Date of review: November 18, 2012
In short: 2011 race - not much to say - good race in a good locationIn full: Basic 'does what it says on the tin' race along the Brighton seafront. Big race, good atmosphere & excellent organisation. Not the most generous with just a bottle of water and very basic medal, but the race itself is very good, and that's what you do it for after all. Agree about the k markers - only saw 4 & 9, and I assumed the inflatable over the road was 5k - didn't actually see anything with a 5 on). 18 inch high blue A-frames at the side of the road are simply not visible enough when you have runners around you. Minor thing though - good event.Date of review: November 20, 2011
In short: 2011 Race - OKIn full: Fast flat course, nice atmosphere and great scenery. A few points for improvement:A bit more guidance for division at the start, rather than fast at the front, slow at the back. I was overtaking people the whole way around the course which was rather annoying during the first 1.5 km as the course was narrower. On the other hand, it is quite motivating to always be overtaking people! Confusion from the PA system about which side the elites would be running back down on, everyone moved to the right as per the PA instructions, only to have to jump out the way when the elites came down on that side! What happened to the KM markers? There was 1km, 1.5km and 6.5km - a few more would have been welcome as would a bit more notice that there was no water station on the course (i.e. highlight in the race pack)?But all in all, a pretty good race and I'd be happy to do it again. Date of review: November 20, 2011
In short: My first ever competitive run, which I thoroughly enjoyed.In full: There was plenty of parking not far from the starting point of the race.The race itself was on the road/pavement.The road inclination is very slight and so it is highly likely that you will achieve a personal best.I smashed my previous record by over 2 minutes!The race started on time and wasn't too crowded, there was plenty of space to run, with enough space for me to sprint finish.The medal was lovely and is of a good quality.Date of review: June 7, 2011
In short: Always quick. Good organisation appart from the lack of water at the finish.Date of review: November 24, 2009
In short: My first Brooks Brighton 10K but won't be my lastDate of review: November 20, 2009
In short: A good race for barefooting! In full: This was my first 10k and also my first official race since going barefoot and this being Brighton no one really batted an eyelid. The only Km marker I saw was number 6 but then I wasn't really paying attention as I was having too much fun splashing through the puddles then avoiding all the stones washed up by the foul weather! Still don't think cups at water stations are a good idea but this was only 10k so I didn't need water anyway. The queue for the Lucozade at the end wasn't great though. Medal was average but for the price and distance it was fine. Would do this again but no next year because its on the same day as HellRunner! Date of review: November 20, 2009
In short: Fast, flat course. Enjoyable race.In full: I think this is one of the better races on my usual calender. I think that the water station at just before the 3K mark (which doubled up as the finish water station) and just before the turn at 6.5K were sufficient for most - I usually don't drink during a 10K.I managed to take all my own KM split times so I was able to see the marker boards for most - the 3k one was as we passed the start finish and I did not see a marker there but it was easy to work out from the info supplied with the race numbers. I previous years I did not see as many markers.The "Sea Breeze" usually evens itself out as you are running against and with it for the same distance - although I think that it is easier to have it in your back for the run to the finish like this year.With the course being so flat it makes this race for those that care about such things a definite one to go for a PB.Date of review: November 19, 2009
In short: 1st timer, great experience, looking forward to next year Date of review: November 19, 2009

The latest round of Euro NCAP safety testing has revealed that Ford's new Ranger is the first pickup to achieve the organisation's highest five-star rating. The 2012 Ranger finished with an overall score of 89%, which is the best ever recorded by a pickup truck in the European testing.
To break it down, the Ranger scored 96 percent for adult occupant safety, 86 percent for child occupant safety and 81 percent for pedestrian safety. The pickup's "safety assist" systems also achieved a 71 percent score. The most impressive figure here is the 81 percent for pedestrian safety, this is the best rating ever for pedestrian protection among the cars tested by the Euro NCAP since it was established in 1997. A surprising result for a high-riding ute.
Euro NCAP secretary general Michiel van Ratingen, said: "With such good pedestrian protection, the Ford Ranger is undoubtedly raising the bar of safety in the category of pickup trucks, which had until now not proven to be the safest."

Published May 8, 2007
Mental health treatment represents one of the largest holes in our health care system. Health coverage eludes 47-million U.S. residents, but millions more have inadequate mental health coverage.
Surveys suggest that about 15 percent of the U.S. population seeks mental health services each year. Half that number have significant mental health problems and one in three of that group receives services. That translates to 15-million people with serious mental disorders with little or no care.
The history of mental health services in the United States began with the asylums that evolved to mental hospitals and finally community mental health centers. The advent of the centers in 1955 marked the era of deinstitutionalization and what was touted as a more humane approach to mental illness.
State and federal governments bought into deinstitutionalization and the community mental health network hook, line and sinker. After all, look at the savings, and if the experts are sold on the idea that the state hospitals are inhumane and archaic, who are we to argue? If the experts believe that a community mental health network can offer treatment and a normal life to many who might spend their life institutionalized, it's a win-win; it's the right thing to do!
Unfortunately, the exodus from the state mental hospitals left many very ill people without care or their medications, and a very large population of these folks never set foot in community mental health centers.
Although the experts pointed to populations that were mainstreamed, little attention was given to the rising numbers of homeless, one-third of whom were mentally ill and often veterans of the state hospital system.
Even today, psychologists and psychiatrists will argue that mainstreaming this population was the correct and humane thing to do; they will also admit that the community mental health system was never funded or able to capture the full population of mentally ill that were released.
Law enforcement has its own problems with the mentally ill who don't receive treatment. The extra burden on law enforcement officers has been overwhelming.
But more important, disturbed people are placed in the prison population without adequate evaluation and treatment. Often, particularly for the dangerously psychotic, that treatment requires isolation and lockdown. Rarely is a jail equipped for that inmate.
However, treatment modalities are superb in treating an array of serious psychiatric disorders. Many who prior to 1955 might be permanently housed in state hospitals could, with the treatment regimens available today, live long and productive lives within their communities.
The problem is that, throughout our health care system, too many mentally ill cannot access the services and medications they need.
How many tales have we heard of mothers with seriously disturbed children who cannot get the treatment, or medication needed for their loved ones?
How many walk our streets with bipolar illness and other significant mental disorders without treatment?
How many violent crimes are traced to mentally ill individuals who cannot get or refuse the treatment they require?
Efforts to mainstream the mentally ill must be viewed as progressive and humane. However, that should not interfere with the need to properly isolate and treat the dangerously sick. The state reception centers had the ability to make such identification and house and treat those in a hospital environment. Careful professional determinations would be made for their ultimate release - if ever - into society.
Allowing the discharge of the seriously mentally ill from prison and allowing the untreated to walk the streets without access to medication or services leads to the all-too-frequent headline about preventable death and injury to innocent people. The emotional price on all of us cannot be overestimated.
The reception centers should be reopened and the seriously mentally ill isolated from the community with adequate treatment and housing.

Note: CORRECTED Model Numbers
Firm's Recall Hotline: (866) 594-4208Kolcraft Media Contact: (202) 289-2001
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with the firm named below, today announced a voluntary recall of the following consumer product. Consumers should stop using recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed. It is illegal to resell or attempt to resell a recalled consumer product.
Name of Product: Kolcraft, Carter's, Sesame Street, Jeep, Contours, Care Bear and Eric Carle Play Yards
Units: About 1 million
Distributor: Kolcraft Enterprises Inc. of Chicago, Ill.
Hazard: The play yard's side rail can fail to latch properly and when a child pushes against the rail it can unlatch unexpectedly, posing a fall hazard to children.
Incidents/Injuries: The firm has received 347 reports of sides of the play yard collapsing unexpectedly, resulting in 21 injuries to young children, including bumps, scrapes, bruises and one concussion.
Description: This recall involves the Kolcraft Travelin' Tot play yards, as well as other similar play yards manufactured for Carter's, Sesame Street, Jeep, Contours, Care Bare and Eric Carle, with model numbers listed below. Some of the units have a bassinet and/or changing table. Some models have a mobile, vibrating unit or a parent organizer. Model numbers are printed on a white sticker on one of the feet of the play yard.
Corrected Models
If your play yard model number begins with any of the five digit model numbers listed below, your unit is being recalled. This includes models with any letters following the five digits.

Consumer Contact: For additional information, contact Kolcraft toll-free at (866) 594-4208 anytime or visit the firm's Web site at www.kolcraft.com
Note: Some of the models of the play yards involved in this recall were recalled in September 2007 due to a strangulation hazard posed by the changing table, which resulted in the death of a 10-month child.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risks of injury or death associated with the use of
thousands of types of consumer products under the agency's jurisdiction. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product incidents cost the

A really really nice location in a calm area of this beautiful island; Martha and her mother / family were so kind and lovely!!!
They made the beds and cleaned the bathroom every day, offered cakes or something like that...
The Studio is a bit difficult to find - but after finding it (best possibility is by car, there is enough space to park there!) we have been suprised with such a beatiful and clean Jakoozi and Pool next to our Studio, sea-view included!!!
Thanks again for all - if there will be another journey to Santorini, we would like to stay there again!
Best regards, your "German Family"! =)
We had a lovely time in this cute house. It has a great view from the front porch which we enjoyed in the morning sun at breakfast each day. The house was really very clean with plenty of cleaning products, washing up liquid etc provided. It is a short walk to the town and the old castle (which can be easily seen from the house). We were greeted by Martha's very helpful and friendly sister-in-law, who gave us many tips about where to eat, swim, see the sunset etc. She lives next door and said to ask if we needed anything. Our only regret is that we didn't book early enough to spend more days there.
Accueil super sympathique. Très bon emplacement face à la caldeira avec une belle vue. Manque un peu d'équipement pour faire la cuisine.
Fantastico! E' stata una splendida esperienza: la proprietaria è stata cordiale, gentile e sempre attenta! Consigliamo vivavente queto alloggio a Santorini, in un posto tranquillo e case spaziose e pulite.
Grazie a Martha, e alla sua cara mamma!

June 7, 2011
The Nissan LEAF was ready for the world. But was the world ready for the Nissan LEAF? A 100 percent electric car had never been sold in the mass market. And for good reason: it's built differently, fueled differently, and requires major behavioral shifts from its owners. Instead of apologizing for these differences, we celebrated them.

Your dog probably scratches all year round to rid himself of the occasional itch, but if you have noticed him scratching more than usual this summer, fleas may be to blame. You're not the only one with this jumping, biting issue.
According to the Jacksonville Daily News, groomers in the Jacksonville, Florida, area say they have been fielding more questions about fleas this summer, and have put together a handout of flea control tips for local residents.
Groomers have learned to expect a heavy flea season in the spring and summer after a warm winter, the news outlet reports. Still, there are ways owners can implement effective flea control for dogs to keep itching and other flea-related issues at bay.
The best way to get rid of fleas once and for all is to treat the animal with flea shampoos and other products, but then also treat your home, according to VCA Animal Hospitals. It is also important to treat all pets in the household to ensure the fleas do not have any hosts.
Itching in dogs can continue long after the fleas have been removed if the canine is allergic to flea saliva. This condition is called flea allergy dermatitis in dogs (FAD) and is the leading cause of itchiness in canines. Consult your veterinarian for an accurate diagnosis of FAD and treatment to stop the itch.

National Cholesterol Awareness Month
One of the most controllable risk factors for heart disease and stroke, according to the American Heart Association, is high cholesterol.
Yet, more than 98 million Americans still suffer from it.
To celebrate National Cholesterol Awareness Month in September, the American Heart Association is encouraging everyone to get their cholesterol levels checked to prevent heart disease and stroke.
Typically, cholesterol levels should be checked starting at age 20, unless you have a family history of high cholesterol or heart disease.
Since high cholesterol doesn't always have symptoms, it's important for your cholesterol levels to be checked regularly by your physician, American Heart Association officials said.
The ideal cholesterol level for most people is less than 200 mg/dL.
There are both "good" and "bad" kinds of cholesterol. It's important to understand that too much "bad" cholesterol, or low-density lipoproteins (LDL), and not enough "good" cholesterol, or high-density lipoproteins (HDL) can increase you risk for heart disease.
About 75 percent of LDL is produced naturally in the blood or inherited. The other 25 percent of LDL comes from the foods that you eat, such as fatty animal products.
In addition to checking your cholesterol levels, also ask your doctor to check you triglyceride (or blood fat) level, American Heart Association officials said.
A normal triglyceride level should be less than 150 mg/DL.
There are several lifestyle changes you can make to lower your cholesterol levels and protect your heart against heart disease:
– Eating a heart-healthy diet.
– Enjoying at least 150 minutes a week of moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity.
– Avoiding tobacco smoke.
The first step to preventing heart disease and lowering your cholesterol is getting your cholesterol levels checked by your doctor.
Below, medical experts offer questions and answers about cholesterol.
Q: What should I know about cholesterol?
A: Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like substance found in all parts of the body. It is made in the liver and is needed for normal body functions, such as building cells. Your body makes all the cholesterol it needs, but cholesterol can also come from the food you eat. Cholesterol is divided into different types. Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) is considered "bad" cholesterol because it can slowly line the walls of your arteries causing buildup or blockage, restricting the flow of blood to the heart. This leads to coronary artery disease, which can cause a heart attack. High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) is considered "good cholesterol." Having a high level of HDL is good, because it helps move the "bad" (LDL) cholesterol through the blood vessels. High triglycerides can also adversely affect your health and are tested along with blood cholesterol.
Q: What is a healthy blood cholesterol level?
A: The goal levels are: total cholesterol below 200 mg/dl, HDL above 40 mg/dl, and LDL ideally below 100 mg/dl. Your physician may decide if your LDL level should be lower than 100 if you have other risks. One in five adults has high cholesterol. High cholesterol is a major cause of heart disease or stroke – the leading causes of death in the United States. High cholesterol can run in families, and can also result from eating too many foods high in fat, cholesterol and calories.
Q: How do I know if I have high cholesterol or I'm at risk for Coronary Artery Disease?
A: The first step is to know your cholesterol numbers. Everyone 20 years of age and older should have their blood cholesterol checked at least once every five years. Those with a personal or family history of high blood cholesterol, heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes or smoking should have it checked more often. The second step is to prevent the development of high cholesterol. Or, if you have high cholesterol, get it under control and keep it that way. Certain people are more prone to heart disease – especially those with a family history of early onset of heart disease. While you can't change your family history, there are risk factors that you can control. People who are overweight, have high blood pressure, diabetes, or smoke are at greater risk. Talk to your doctor about your family history, test results and other risks to see what steps you can take to reduce your risk.
Q: What should I do to lower my risk for high cholesterol or heart disease?
A: The key is leading a healthier lifestyle. If you smoke, get help to quit, and never quit quitting. If you have high cholesterol or high blood pressure, work with your health care provider to get it under control. Medication is very effective in treating these conditions. Try to exercise at least 30 minutes each day and eat foods with less fat and cholesterol. Limit the amount of red meat, dark poultry meat, butter, whole milk, and cheese that you eat. Instead, try healthier options like baked or grilled fish, chicken or turkey breast meat, and switch to fat-free milk. Try to increase the amount of fiber you eat by including more fruits and vegetables and choosing whole-grain foods. Limiting salt can also help you manage high blood pressure.

About the Author: Ann Stock is the Assistant Secretary of State for the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.
Earlier today in New York City, I had the honor of addressing the Association of Performing Arts Presenter's (APAP) annual conference on the critical role cultural diplomacy plays in achieving the State Department's foreign policy objectives around the globe. This event also marked the first time APAP live-streamed an event around the world. Each year, APAP brings together almost 4,000 emerging and established leaders in performing arts from 49 U.S. states and 30 countries to discuss the issues, opportunities, and the performing arts industry's future.
This year's conference theme, "Vision 2021," challenges participants to consider the role of culture and arts in society ten years into the future. For the past fifty years, ECA's programs have demonstrated how cultural diplomacy can open up new avenues of dialogue to dispel stereotypes and discover commonalities between us. Looking ahead, we are challenging ourselves at the State Department to ensure that the United States continues to honor the arts, to encourage freedom of expression and to find new ways to create an open dialogue between citizens and nations.
I welcome your comments on cultural diplomacy. Join the conversation on Twitter, @AnnAtState, using the hashtag #culturaldiplomacy. Click this link for video from my APAP panel earlier today, and stay connected on #culturaldiplomacy through our ExchangesConnect social network!

I know that people were and still are upset with the last two years' fourth overall picks. Believe me, I am still outraged at the Waiters pick. Thompson was as horrible of a pick but we could have gotten more value there. Anyway, I wanted to get everyone's opinion on what would be acceptable out of the Cav's last three first round picks (Thompson, Waiters and Zeller). I am not talking about this season. God knows that Waiters is a project. However, in a year or two, what would you guys deam "acceptable"?
Thompson and Waiters will never live up to the fourth overall pick billing and I know that we can't expect Thompson to get 20 and 10 a night nor can we expect Waiters to drop 20 on a consistent basis. For me, I would be happy with 10 points and 8 rebounds a game from Thompson. I know that the number four overall pick should garner more production than that but I don't see him averaging much more.
Waiters is a whole other story. I honestly would be happy if he could get 12 a night and not be a liability on defense. That may be asking a lot from Deion though. He should have never been picked in the top 10.
I think that Zeller could turn out to be a solid role player. I would be perfectly happy with 12 points and 8 rebounds per night out of him. Although, he needs to put on a little weight first.
We all know Kyrie is a star on the rise but I worry, just like everyone else, about his supporting cast. Hopefully we can turn this thing around before his contract is up.

Cirrus owner and pilot Rick Beach has compiled a storehouse of knowledge about SR20/SR22 accidents during years of thoughtful inquiry – and his conclusions about what causes the accidents, and how to avoid them, are at times surprising and of great potential value to all general aviation pilots.
In a comprehensive report published in current issue of Cirrus Pilot, the membership magazine for the Cirrus Owners and Pilots Association (COPA), Beach debunks a few Cirrus myths and makes some compelling suggestions for improving overall flight safety in the future.
The most surprising fact that Beach's intellectually rigorous study uncovers is that low-time pilots aren't the problem. In fact, relatively high-time pilots with instrument, commercial, and/or instructor ratings are responsible for about 75 percent of the fatal Cirrus accidents in which pilot ratings were available.
"Only two pilots in a Cirrus fatal accident had less than 150 hours total time," Beach said. "One of them was (the late New York Yankees pitcher) Cory Lidle, who had an instructor in the right seat during the accident." (The other took place off the coast of France under unknown conditions.) Pilots with more than 400 hours total time accounted for 33 of 44 fatal Cirrus accidents where pilot experience was reported.
No one familiar with aviation accident history would be surprised to find that pilot error accounted for a majority of Cirrus accidents – but the percentage of fatal pilot mistakes is overwhelming in the Cirrus fleet. (Cirrus delivered the first production SR20 in 1999.)
"All but one of the 37 probable causes determined by NTSB accident investigations lists pilot causes," Beach found. Adverse weather was a factor in most Cirrus accidents, and weather-related accidents are most common in the October-through-March time frame.
It stands to reason that pilots who seek to constantly upgrade their skills are safer – but the degree to which that's true in the Cirrus community is astonishing. According to Beach, "Pilots who do not participate in COPA safety activities are four times more likely to have a fatal accident."
Part of the reason active COPA members have a better record is that they are more likely to use the airframe parachutes that all Cirrus aircraft carry as standard equipment. There have been 20 parachute deployments in Cirrus aircraft in the last decade, and 17 of them were successful in saving the lives of 35 people aboard those airplanes.
During the same period, there were 55 fatal Cirrus accidents where the airframe parachute wasn't deployed. In examining those scenarios, Beach estimates more than half (30) had "a high or good probability of success if the pilot would have pulled the (parachute) handle."
Beach's advice in a nutshell is to actively seek out more high-quality flight training, keep learning, and don't hesitate to pull the parachute in an emergency (assuming the airplane you're flying has one).
Beach's report is available online at the following Web address: http://www.cirruspilots.org/content/FreeSafetyIssue.aspx

The moment you notice that your passport is damaged, you should move to have it replaced immediately. The sooner you act, the less it will affect any future plans you have in mind for traveling. It is fortunate that there exists a clear-cut procedure that shows how this is done. This short note summarizes the important steps one has to do to get a replacement.
Get A New One
Even though you think that the damage is minor, it is still a good idea to get a new one. You do not want the scenario where you are in a foreign land only to be denied entry because the inspector thinks you possess invalid documents. He has the last word and you cannot do anything more. So avoid this expensive hassle and just get a replacement.
Form DS-11
Those getting a replacement for a damaged passport are considered new applicants. So they have to gather the required paperwork for a new application. These documents are a certified birth certificate and a completed Form DS-11. They also need to get a passport-sized photo.
Birth Certificate
For those who had their passports for a long time, they should know that on April 2011, a new rule was introduced regarding the use of the birth certificate when applying for passports. The rule says that the full names of the applicant's mother and father should be present in the document. If these names are missing, the application cannot proceed. You must take steps to correct the missing data in your certificate.
You May Have To Go In Person
After completing the paperwork, the applicants have to present themselves at the nearest acceptance center. They will be interviewed and their documents inspected. After satisfying the documentation, they will be asked to pay for the replacement processing fee. There are two types of fees. One is for a regular application and the other is for the expedited processing fee.
Expedited Processing
The expedited processing fee is more expensive. Aside from handling your request in an urgent manner, the fee already includes the express delivery of the replacement passport using a door-to-door courier service. Expect this process to finish in three weeks. Regular processing finishes in a month to a month and two weeks. You can even get a next day passport.
Processing Fee
After one week has passed after paying the processing fee, the status of your application can be monitored on line. This web tracking service is available to all applicants provided they log in with their last names, date of birth, and the last four parts of their Social Security Number. Note that this is a free service.
After getting the passport replacement, the owners should be more careful in handling their passports. This could be one of the most important personal documents anyone can possess. While it is true that money was spent in replacing this document, the cost is very small compared to cancelled flights and tickets the moment it is realized that your passport is invalid. Soon after you notice that your US passport is damaged, move quickly to have it replaced as soon as possible.

April 2nd, 2017 Now available! Please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Italy is a country that has fallen in love with the marathon. Orlando Pizzolato led the field to the finish twice in New York while followed by about 1,500 fellow countrymen. Gelindo Bordin claimed the gold in the 1988 Olympics. Thus, it is only fitting that Rome should have a world-class event. We have secured rooms at the beautifully-decorated Hotel Metropole within walking distance of the start and finish and many Rome landmarks. The event precedes the busy tourist season and hotel rates and airfares are a bit more reasonable. There is no better way to sight-see in this historic city than by foot and you will enjoy all of the significant points of interest along the way. The route is designed to include many classic monuments, buildings and piazzas. The "Stracittadina" 5K is scheduled to start immediately after the marathon start. Participants will be able to run in the old town centre past Piazza Venezia, Bocca della Verita, Teatro di Marcello, Circus Maximus, the Coliseum and the Roman Forum. Marathon Tours is pleased to be appointed the Rome Marathon's official travel agency in North America. Special hotel packages including sightseeing and a pre-race dinner have been planned. Discounts are available for entry.
Florence: There is no better way to enhance your trip to Italy than a few days in Florence. Just 90 minutes north of Rome lies the Renaissance city of Florence. It is here that the world emerged from the Dark Ages with such names Dante, Michelangelo, da Vinci, and Galileo. Sip a local wine. Visit a cathedral. Explore a local vineyard. Get consumed at a museum. Check our Packages page for details and pricing.
Complete flexibility is being offered to those who would like to extend their stay in Rome or throughout Italy and Europe.
Have you heard? Marathon Tours has done it again! Are you ready for the 2017 Rome/Paris Two-Fer?

"The human mind cannot focus on two things at once," said Capt. Randy Schultz, of the Brown County Sheriff's Department Patrol Division.
So some Ashwaubenon High School students in Jason Dreier's sociology class decided they could get that warning to their peers more effectively.
"People like the idea that we're trying to use social media in a positive light for such an important message for the community," said Austin Kadluski, Ashwaubenon High School senior.
So students made a video that takes a tongue in cheek view of situations where texting is risky. The next step was to link people to the video as quickly as possible.
"A lot of kids, after the video was finished, got out their smart phone right away and starting posting it on "Facebook" posting it on "Twitter"," Dreier said.
So far, the video has about a thousand hits on "YouTube.
"They're like "LOL" this is funny. Stuff like that. They mention certain scenes like "Oh your football scene is hilarious," said Katherine Enderby, Ashwaubenon High School junior.
But it ends with sobering statistics on texting and driving casualties. And the overall effort gets big support from law enforcement.
"It makes a statement from that generation also that this is unacceptable behavior," said Capt. Schultz.
Dreier and his students hope to get 250-thousand hits before the semester break. They're getting help from the Brown County D.A.R.E parking area outside KMart, near Lambeau Field. Each patron gets a receipt with the hyperlink and smart phone scan code that will link directly to the YouTube website.
Local 5's Terry Kovarik has the story.

Intel Corp. plans to reveal more details about its 32nm fabrication process at the International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM) in mid-December, 2008. While the first test chips were build using 32nm process technology more than a year ago, Intel did not provide any details regarding the process itself, possibly because they were subject to change as well as for keeping its rivals without any information.
Apparently, Intel's 32nm manufacturing process utilizes the company's second-generation, high-k/metal gate technology, a strained channel, and nine levels of low-k interconnect dielectrics, according to EETimes web-site that cites an Intel's document available from IEDM's web-site on request. The process enables the highest drive currents reported to date for 32nm technology: NMOS saturated drive current is 1.55mA/micron while the corresponding PMOS value is 1.21mA/micron.
Intel's 32nm test chips incorporate logic and memory (static random access memory, SRAM) to house more than 1.9 billion transistors with 4.2Mb² array density. The chip features 0.171 micron² cell size. The process evaluation chip reportedly functioned at 3.80GHz with 1.1V voltage.
Intel plans to commercialize the 32nm process technology in 2009. The node appears to be important for the company as it will enable it to enter the market of ultra low-power x86 microprocessors aimed at handsets, introduce microprocessors with built-in graphics cores and continue to offer higher-performance microprocessors at competitive price-points.
Since the first 32nm SRAM + logic test chips were demonstrated back in September 2007, the intrigue is whether Intel already has working samples of actual microprocessors produced using 32nm fabrication process.

Laz, I'm wondering if any of Paul's albums since Run Devil Run will get the 'archival' treatment at all. At Best Buy recently I saw Run Devil Run, Chaos, and Driving Rain all sporting the Hear Music label. That is to say, they already have been re-released, with no additional content.
G4B, I can see why you might not want to spend money to get music you already have, but these re-releases have a lot of additional songs. I quite like the extra music on the Band on the Run re-release.

Michael J. Gerson's encomium to Jim Wallis' book on the common good includes this curious paragraph:
Nearly every Christian tradition of social ethics encompasses two sorts of justice. The first is procedural justice: giving people what they deserve under contracts and the law. The second is distributive justice: meeting some needs just because human beings are human beings. This is not the same thing as egalitarianism; confiscation is not compassion. But distributive justice requires a decent provision for the vulnerable and destitute. And this is not just a matter of personal charity. Social justice is more than crumbs from the table; it depends on the existence of social and economic conditions that allow people to live, work and thrive.
Gerson should be applauded for grappling with such substantive doctrines as the common good and social justice. It is certainly brave to do so within the confines of a short opinion piece.
But his treatment of these in the context of this short op-ed illustrate the difficulty of doing so in a responsible fashion. For one thing, the common good is perhaps one of the most difficult concepts to get a handle on in the history of Christian moral reflection. In the end, Gerson summarizes it as "the set of social circumstances that allows everyone to flourish." We might quibble with this description as not quite getting at the common good as a telos rather than a process, but given that he quotes John Paul II in the previous line, this isn't that large of a quibble.
We might also note that even though it is commonly associated with modern Roman Catholic social thought, as Gerson notes, the idea of the common good is much more of a catholic legacy of Christianity shared by a variety of Christian traditions. See, for instance, Gerson's claim that Wallis' invocation of the common good is "further evidence of the intellectual advance of Catholic social teaching across Christian confessions." I think this is probably true in the case of Wallis and many evangelicals, and in this Roman Catholic social thought has done a great service in preserving this inheritance and serving as a reminder and inspiration for those who have forgotten the place of the common good in their own tradition's moral reflection.

Some musicians tour year round with a band in support of their latest LP. But this December, Merge recording artist Julian Koster is instead going on a caroling tour. He's taking along his trusty dog Rudolph (no joke!) and a singing saw. You can hear Koster's deconstruction of holiday chestnut "White Christmas" below.
MP3: White Christmas
For more holiday sawing, The Singing Saw at Christmastime is available on CD, LP, and digital download.
Better yet, why not have Koster and his carolers visit your abode? Details below.
You may invite the carolers to visit your house by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com or by mailing a handwritten letter to 450 N. Harris St. Athens, GA 30601 (due to time constraints, please send an email to let the "caroling ambassador" know you are sending a letter). Be sure to include an email address or telephone number for reply. Invitations where the hosts indicate that they would be willing to entertain outside guests on caroling night are preferred. Please note your permission to invite others from the area to your house and whether you can offer the carolers a place to sleep in your letter or email.
Once the limit on houses on a given night has been reached, the address of each house that will welcome guests will be distributed via email to all who email firstname.lastname@example.com and ask to attend. The addresses of the houses will not be posted online.
Proposed Caroling Path:
December 7th, 8th, 9th: Georgia, Tennessee, Indiana & Lower Half of Illinois
December 10th, 11th, 12th: Chicago, Illinois, Michigan
December 13th, 14th, 15th: Ohio, Pittsburgh, Western NY
December 16th, 17th, 18th: Upstate NY, New England (CT, RI, VT etc)
December 19th, 20th, 21st: Philadelphia, NYC, Baltimore, DC, Chapel Hill

The Dream Season - Page 6
1. Calculate the amount of time before race day
Get out your calendar and count the number of weeks you have before your race or races. Make sure that you have a reasonable amount of time for the proper training, and, if you're peaking for several races, you allot enough time for recovery between them. Cram training will only lead to injury and poor results. At the same time, be sure not to begin your race-specific training prematurely. A training cycle that lasts too long is a quick recipe for mental and physical burnout.
2. Assign training phases
As mentioned, base training is the most important and prevalent phase of your plan. You can always race well off of a solid endurance-based background. Before launching into any race-specific stamina or speed work, a minimum of 12 uninterrupted weeks of base training and a month of pre-race specific work should be done. The workouts and how they are arranged during the training cycle's final months will depend, again, on your specific race and strengths and weaknesses. In general, in order to avoid fatigue, the length of any one zone of training should fall within these time frames:
- Endurance training: Can be done indefinitely and will benefit any race distance
- Stamina training: 6 to 8 weeks
- Speed training: 4 to 8 weeks
It's important to place race-specific workouts closest to your goal race. For example, a runner training for a trail 10K or half marathon would arrange workouts so that speed-based training takes precedence during the final month of the schedule. Conversely, a runner preparing for a trail marathon or 50K would assemble a mix of tough endurance and stamina-based workouts in the final months.
If you find it difficult to recover from speed work, develop injuries or despise the thought of it, simply de-emphasize or eliminate it from the program in favor of endurance and stamina workouts. If you are willing to work on or enjoy speed and stamina workouts, allocate more time to these training zones.
Don't forget to allow a few weeks for a proper peaking phase. Continue with your race-specific training, but drop the volume of each run by 35 to 50 percent two weeks out and then another 20 to 25 percent from that during the week of your event.
Finally, designate a purpose to each week in your plan: Base, pre-race and race-specific and within those—endurance, stamina, speed and peak.
3. Compute weekly volume
In order to keep you accountable and injury-free, chart your weekly mileages beforehand. Scheduling a recovery week, when volume is cut 25 to 50 percent every three to four weeks, is an excellent way to enable your body to absorb recent training and gear up for the subsequent weeks' workouts.
Use your own running experience, injury frequency, age and target race to determine the most advantageous mileage you should cover in your plan. New runners must take a conservative approach, keeping in mind that an uninterrupted, injury-free training cycle will get you to the start line with the best chance for success. Runners who have completed several training cycles and have a year or two of consistent training volume under their belt can and should explore higher volume.
4. Schedule your long runs
Research suggests 90 minutes is the minimum length long run for a trained athlete, but the upper maximum is limitless. Manage your long runs according to the following criteria:
Time vs. miles: Mountain and off-road running are relatively slow-going, so running for time alleviates the pressure of having to cover a predetermined distance.
Adjust the length of the long run to gel appropriately with your most recent (roughly the last 10 weeks) training load.
Training on the same terrain as your race is key, but don't let terrain specificity rule your long-run location choices. Variation in topography allows for both mental and physical reprieve.
The frequency of tough long runs can be altered. Many runners have been successful with as many as 10 to 14 days between long runs.
Though this topic is up for much debate, here are guidelines for optimal long-run distances relative to popular trail-race lengths:
- 10K and shorter: 90 to 105 minutes
- Half-marathon: 2 hours or 12 to 16 miles
- Marathon and 50K: 16 to 26 miles or 3 to 4 hours
- 50 miles and 100K: a 50K race or 4 to 5 hours as well as back-to-back long runs
- 100 miles: a 50-mile or 100K race or 5 to 6 hours as well as back-to-back long runs
5. Distribute the quality workouts
Most athletes can complete one or two quality workouts, not including the long run, in a week's time without risking injury. The primary workout should match the week's designated phase and take priority in the schedule. If you're in a speed-based phase, then a VO2 max workout is in order. If it's a stamina-based phase, then a lactate-threshold workout should be the focus. Vary these primary workouts on a weekly basis in order to eliminate training drudgery. If training has advanced enough, you may use a secondary workout to remind the body of past training phases, prepare it for the next, or utilize it as time to prepare for race specific challenges—like hills or working on a finishing kick. Remember that these workouts shouldn't take focus away from the primary workout.
6. Fill it all in and account for life's responsibilities
This is the time to make note of all of the other important life obligations, family responsibilities and things that keep you motivated, happy and healthy. Examples might be:
- Vacation and family time, work, anniversaries, weddings, volunteer responsibilities, etc.
- Regularly scheduled recovery or off days
- Non-goal races
- Drills
- Strength training, spin class, Boot Camp, Pilates or yoga classes, etc.
Once you plug these commitments—along with your long run(s), your primary and, possibly, secondary workouts—into your plan, the rest of your weekly volume will come from easy and recovery runs and cross-training activities. Review the entire plan and assess it. You're now looking at a realistic balance between essential goal race training and life's duties.
Stephanie Shepherd, who trains regularly on the trails in North Carolina's Umstead State Park agrees, "It is difficult balancing work, family and daily life while training for and achieving my racing goals. Planning my schedule for the weeks and months ahead is the only way I'll know I'll get my running in."
Jason Penticoff, who participates annually in Illinois' Rock Cut Winter Survivor Race Series, echoes Shepherd's praises for training structure: "I follow a plan because it gives me a focus. Without a plan, I feel like I'm swatting at a piñata blindfolded just hoping to hit it."
