Yes, CorgiFan, you're right green energy will displace fossil fuels someday, but if we wait until scarcity brings about the inevitable change to green energy we will have condemned generations of our descendants to living in a world completely different than ours. Much of the midwest will be desert, while New York City and half of Florida and Louisiana will be under water, just to mention a few. A small carbon tax added to all carbon containing fuels, gradually increased over the years would allow us to charge for the very reals costs associated with the CO2 these fuels spew into our air. All of us expect to safely dispose of garbage; the exception is when we burn our garbage. For some reason it is OK to dump into the air we breathe, but not into the water we drink, etc. This fee doesn't have to be a net tax. All of the money can be returned to us per capita, or it can be used to pay for the damages caused by burning carbon such as increased cases of asthma or other lung diseases which are caused by burning fossil fuels.
Ethanol from corn is not green!
It's not clean energy. Although it produces no net addition of CO2, it still produces CO2. It is not the solution we're looking for.
The rich people/energy companies don't want to spend capital if returns on investment in green energy are comparatively small when compared ROI for fossil fuels. The green revolution will happen when the fossil fuels become prohibitively expensive, which should happen sometime. Until then, we can't count of the companies to care about anything other than their own interest in money. They don't care about nationalism, the average American, or the environment. And it's these companies that seem to have a very large amount of influence in our political system. Sure, we get out and vote for our candidates, but their major agendas are set by their major donors, and those tend to be business (for both major parties).
Randy, you are absolutely right. If we are not building homes we should be putting solar panels (in sunny regions) on the roofs of homes that are already built, as well as on commercial and industrial rooftops and over the parking lots around shopping centers and sports stadiums. We should not worry about where the solar panels are made. Putting them in place on the most cost effective basis will help us solve the energy crisis - which is really a green house gases and radiation risks problem. We need to get over this whole "foreign vs domestic" issue. We can only compte by competing, not by hiding behind tariffs or slogans. There is nothing wrong with Arab oil and natural gas, but there is plenty wrong with oil and natural gas in general. Of course coal is 25% worse than oil and twice as bad as natural gas in GHG terms. Fractionating hydrocarbon bearing strata, using hazardous chemicals and without much thought about futre geological stability, is almost as stupid as mining uranium. Let's get those roustabouts setting up utility scale wind turbine generators in the great plains from Minnesota and North Dakota to Texas. Over time we can produce more net energy from wind in this region than we can by ripping up the state of Wyoming for the sake of two more generations of coal. Get those offshore drilling crews busy setting up WTGs on 90 meter towers in the North and Middle Atlantic and offshore California, Oregon and Washington. Tax all hydrocarbons at well-head, mine mouth or port of entry based on their GHG content. Start the taxes low with scheduled increases year-by-year. Renew the wind production tax credit and, in the alternative, offer a 30% or more investment tax credit on any non-hydrocarbon renewable energy investment. Offer the 30% tax credit for transmission lines from these new energy sources to locations of energy demand. Make the tax credit 60% for investment in underground transmission lines. Offer a 30% tax credit on purchases of electric-only (not hybrid) automobiles and delivery vehicles and on investments in infrastruture to recharge those vehicles. Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. We don't need to build nuclear power plants ($8.6 billion loan guarantees for proposed NPP in Georgia, all NNPs are reinsured for liability to a limit of only $16 billion or so, there is no permanent storage plan for the NPP nuclear fuel waste material created in the U.S.) just to keep the lights on and create some construction jobs in Georgia! After all, they have sunshine down there. Build solar!

New and Recommended Fiction for November
Click on this link for a complete list of our recent additions in fiction!
The last banquet / Jonathan Grimwood (FICTION) -- Set against the backdrop of the Enlightenment, the delectable decadence of Versailles, and the French Revolution, The Last Banquet is an intimate epic that tells the story of one man's quest to know the world through its many and marvelous flavors. Jean-Marie d'Aumout will try anything once, with consequences that are at times mouthwatering and at others fascinatingly macabre (Three Snake Bouillabaisse anyone? Or perhaps some pickled Wolf's Heart?). When he is not obsessively searching for a new taste d'Aumout is a fast friend, a loving husband, a doting father, and an imaginative lover. He befriends Ben Franklin, corresponds with the Marquis de Sade and Voltaire, becomes a favorite at Versailles, thwarts a peasant uprising, improves upon traditional French methods of contraception, plays an instrumental role in the Corsican War of Independence, and constructs France's finest menagerie. But d'Aumout's every adventurous turn is decided by his at times dark obsession to know all the world's flavors before that world changes irreversibly.
The elixir of immortality / by Gabi Gleichmann (FICTION) -- Since the eleventh century, the Spinoza family has passed down, from father to son, a secret manuscript containing the recipe for immortality. Now, after thirty-six generations, the last descendant of this long and illustrious chain, Ari Spinoza, doesn't have a son to whom to entrust the manuscript. From his deathbed, he begins his narrative, hoping to save his lineage from oblivion. Ari's two main sources of his family's history are a trunk of yellowing documents inherited from his grandfather, and his great-uncle Fernando's tales that captivated him when he was a child. He chronicles the Spinozas' involvement in some of Europe's most formative cultural events with intertwining narratives that move through ages of tyranny, creativity, and social upheaval.
Meet me at the Cupcake Café : a novel with recipes / Jenny Colgan (FICTION) -- ssy Randall can bake. No, Issy can create stunning, mouthwateringly divine cakes. After a childhood spent in her beloved Grampa Joe's bakery, she has undoubtedly inherited his talent. She's much better at baking than she is a filing so when she's laid off from her desk job, Issy decides to open her own little café. But she soon learns that her piece-of-cake plan will take all of her courage and confectionary talent to avert disaster. Funny and sharp, Meet Me at the Cupcake Café is about how life might not always taste like you expect, but there's always room for dessert!
The Republic of Thieves / Scott Lynch (FANTASY FICTION) -- A latest installment in the popular series that includes Red Seas Under Red Skies finds con man Locke Lamora's latest scrapes with fellow Gentleman Bastard Jean Tannen giving way to an increasingly audacious resolve to have an incredibly good time while robbing the world blind. With what should have been the greatest heist of their career gone spectacularly sour, Locke and his trusted partner, Jean, have barely escaped with their lives. Or at least Jean has. But Locke is slowly succumbing to a deadly poison that no alchemist or physiker can cure. Yet just as the end is near, a mysterious Bondsmage offers Locke an opportunity that will either save him or finish him off once and for all. Magi political elections are imminent, and the factions are in need of a pawn. If Locke agrees to play the role, sorcery will be used to purge the venom from his body—though the process will be so excruciating he may well wish for death. Locke is opposed, but two factors cause his will to crumble: Jean's imploring—and the Bondsmage's mention of a woman from Locke's past: Sabetha. She is the love of his life, his equal in skill and wit, and now, his greatest rival.
Cain's blood / Geoffrey Girard (SCIENCE FICTION) -- The DNA of the world's most notorious serial killers has been cloned by the U.S. Department of Defense to develop a new breed of bioweapon. Now in Phase Three, the program includes dozens of young men who have no clue as to their evil heritage. Playing a twisted game of nature vs. nurture, scientists raise some of the clones with loving families and others in abusive circumstances. But everything changes when the most dangerous boys are set free by their creator. A man with demons of his own, former black ops soldier Shawn Castillo is hot on their trail. But Castillo didn't count on the quiet young man he finds hiding in an abandoned house—a boy who has just learned he is the clone of Jeffrey Dahmer. As Jeffrey and Castillo race across the country on the trail of the rampaging teens, Castillo must protect the boy who is the embodiment of his biggest fears—and who may also be his last hope. Melding all-too-plausible science and ripped from- the-headlines horror, Cain's Blood is a stunning debut about the potential for good and evil in us all.
The case of the love commandos : from the files of Vish Puri, India's most private investigator / Tarquin Hall (MYSTERY FICTION) -- When Ram and Tulsi fall in love, the young woman's parents are dead set against the union. She's from a high-caste family; he's an Untouchable, from the lowest stratum of Indian society. Young Tulsi's father locks her up and promises to hunt down the 'loverboy dog.' Fortunately, India's Love Commandos, a real-life group of volunteers dedicated to helping mixed-caste couples, come to the rescue. Just after they liberate Tulsi, Ram is mysteriously snatched from his hiding place. It falls to Vish Puri to track down Ram and reunite the star-crossed lovers. Unfortunately, Puri's having a bad month. Not only did he fail to recover a stolen cache of jewels, but his wallet was filched and he has to rely on his Mummy-ji to get it back. To top it all off, his archrival, suave investigator Hari Kumar, is also trying to locate Ram. In the daring race to find Ram, Puri and his team must infiltrate Ram's village and navigate the caste politics shaped by millennia-old prejudices.
Nostalgia / Dennis McFarland (FICTION) -- In the winter of 1864, Summerfield Hayes, a pitcher for the famous Eckford Club, enlists in the Union army, leaving his sister, a schoolteacher, devastated and alone in their Brooklyn home. The siblings, who have lost both their parents, are unusually attached, and Hayes fears his untoward secret feelings for his sister. This rich backstory is intercut with scenes of his soul-altering hours on the march and at the front—the slaughter of barely grown young men who only days before whooped it up with him in a regimental ball game; his temporary deafness and disorientation after a shell blast; his fevered attempt to find safe haven after he has been deserted by his own comrades—and, later, in a Washington military hospital, where he finds himself mute and unable even to write his name. In this twilit realm, among the people he encounters—including a compassionate drug-addicted amputee, the ward matron who only appears to be his enemy, and the captain who is convinced that Hayes is faking his illness—is a gray-bearded eccentric who visits the ward daily and becomes Hayes's strongest advocate: Walt Whitman. This timeless story, whose outcome hinges on friendships forged in crisis, reminds us that the injuries of war are manifold, and the healing goodness in the human soul runs deep and strong.
The mysterious death of Miss Jane Austen / Lindsay Ashford (FICTION) -- Twenty-six years have passed since the death of Jane Austen. Armed with a lock of Austen's hair as perhaps her best clue, Anne Sharp, former governess to the Austen family and Jane's close friend, has decided at last to tell her story—a story of family intrigues, shocking secrets, forbidden loves, and maybe even murder... Upon its publication in the UK, Lindsay Ashford's fictional interpretation of the few facts surrounding Jane Austen's mysterious death sparked an international debate and uproar. None of the medical theories offer a satisfactory explanation of Jane Austen's early demise at the age of forty-one. Could it be that what everyone has assumed was a death by natural causes was actually more sinister? Lindsay Ashford's vivid novel delves deep into Austen's world and puts forth a shocking suggestion—was someone out to silence her?
The incrementalists / Steven Brust and Skyler White (FICTION) -- The Incrementalists--a secret society of two hundred people with an unbroken lineage reaching back forty thousand years. They cheat death, share lives and memories, and communicate with one another across nations, races, and time. They have an epic history, an almost magical memory, and a very modest mission: to make the world better, just a little bit at a time. Their ongoing argument about how to do this is older than most of their individual memories. Phil, whose personality has stayed stable through more incarnations than anyone else's, has loved Celeste--and argued with her--for most of the last four hundred years. But now Celeste, recently dead, embittered, and very unstable, has changed the rules--not incrementally, and not for the better. Now the heart of the group must gather in Las Vegas to save the Incrementalists, and maybe the world.
The Grim Company / Luke Scull (FANTASY FICTION) -- The Gods are dead. The Magelord Salazar and his magically enhanced troops, the Augmentors, crush any dissent they find in the minds of the populace. On the other side of the Broken Sea, the White Lady plots the liberation of Dorminia, with her spymistresses, the Pale Women. Demons and abominations plague the Highlands. The world is desperately in need of heroes. But what they get instead are a ragtag band of old warriors, a crippled Halfmage, two orphans and an oddly capable manservant: the Grim Company.
Transcendental / James Gunn (SCIENCE FICTION) -- Riley, a veteran of interstellar war, is one of many beings from many different worlds aboard a ship on a pilgrimage that spans the galaxy. However, he is not journeying to achieve transcendence, a vague mystical concept that has drawn everyone else on the ship to this journey into the unknown at the far edge of the galaxy. His mission is to find and kill the prophet who is reputed to help others transcend. While their ship speeds through space, the voyage is marred by violence and betrayal, making it clear that some of the ship's passengers are not the spiritual seekers they claim to be. Like the pilgrims in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, a number of those on the starship share their unique stories. But as tensions rise, Riley realizes that the ship is less like the Canterbury Tales and more like a harrowing, deadly ship of fools. When he becomes friendly with a mysterious passenger named Asha, he thinks she's someone he can trust. However, like so many others on the ship, Asha is more than she appears. Uncovering her secrets could be the key to Riley's personal quest, or make him question everything he thought he knew about Transcendentalism and his mission to stop it.
Fallen women / Sandra Dallas (FICTION) -- It's the spring of 1885 when wealthy New York socialite Beret Osmundsen first sets foot in a Denver police station. Just days before, she received the terrible news of the death of her estranged younger sister, Lillie. The telegram from her aunt and uncle was brief, stating only that Lillie had passed away suddenly and there was no need for Beret to make the long trip west. Soon, a sordid story is revealed when Beret comes across a scandal sheet with the details of a brutal murder of a prostitute named 'Lillie Brown' in the brothel where she lived. Upon a closer read, Beret becomes convinced that 'Lillie Brown' was in fact her sister, and her murderer has not been caught. Her investigation takes her from the dangerous, seedy underworld of Denver's tenderloin to the highest levels of Denver society. Along the way, Beret learns the depths of Lillie's depravity and must reconcile these with her memories of the innocent young girl of their youth, all while never losing site of finding the murderer. With the help of detective Mick McCauley, Beret ultimately unearths the truth about the sister she couldn't save and exposes the darkest side of Gilded Age ambition in the city in the process.
A fatal likeness : a novel / Lynn Shepherd (MYSTERY FICTION) -- When his great-uncle, the master detective who schooled him in the science of "thief taking," is mysteriously stricken, Charles Maddox fears that the old man's breakdown may be directly related to the latest case he's been asked to undertake. Summoned to the home of a stuffy nobleman and his imperious wife, Charles finds his investigative services have been engaged by no less than the son of celebrated poet Percy Bysshe Shelley and his famed widow, Mary, author of the gothic classic Frankenstein. Approached by a stranger offering to sell a cache of rare papers allegedly belonging to the legendary late poet, the Shelley family seeks Maddox's aid in discovering whether the precious documents are authentic or merely the work of an opportunistic charlatan. Steeped in finely wrought Victorian atmosphere, and rife with eye-opening historical revelations, A Fatal Likeness carries the reader ever deeper into a darkly magnetic tale of love and madness as utterly harrowing and heartbreaking as it is undeniably human.
Guests on Earth / Lee Smith (FICTION) -- It's 1936 when orphaned thirteen-year-old Evalina Toussaint is admitted to Highland Hospital in Asheville, North Carolina, a mental institution known for its innovative treatments for nervous disorders and addictions. Taken under the wing of the hospital's most notable patient, Zelda Fitzgerald, Evalina witnesses the cascading events leading up to the tragic fire of 1948 that killed nine women in a locked ward, Zelda among them. Author Lee Smith has created, through her artful blending of fiction and fact, a mesmerizing novel about a world apart—a time and a place where creativity and passion, theory and medicine, tragedy and transformation, are luminously intertwined.
Let the old dreams die / John Ajvide Lindqvist (FICTION) -- A classic short story collection from the writer called Sweden's Stephen King that continues the breathtaking story begun in the internationally acclaimed classic Let the right one in. Now at last, in "Let the Old Dreams Die," the title story in this absolutely stunning collection, we get a glimpse of what happened next to the pair. Fans of Let the Right One In will have to read the story, which is destined to generate much word of mouth both among fans and online.

Yvon Godin Acadie—Bathurst, NB
Mr. Speaker, in the case of Canada Post, the letter carriers have said they are prepared to ensure all essential services. They are prepared to deliver all the old age security cheques. They are prepared to do all the essential things. What is more, they asked Canada Post to reinstate their former collective agreement during the negotiations and said they would be prepared to go back to the bargaining table and get to work. It was Canada Post that locked them out.

Rodger Cuzner Cape Breton—Canso, NS
Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. I know my colleague from Acadie—Bathurst would want me to clarify the record on this particular point. He made comments during his speech with regard to the 1997 back-to-work legislation by the previous Liberal government. In fact, the strike vote had been taken on November 19, and the legislation was passed on December 5. There had been a significant period of time.
I have a summation of the critical path of that legislation. I will look for unanimous consent to table this summation.

Kerry-Lynne Findlay Delta—Richmond East, BC
Mr. Speaker, I represent a beautiful riding stretching from sunny Tsawwassen to vibrant Hamilton, to picturesque Ladner and the historic fishing port of Steveston straddling the mighty Fraser River. I wish to specifically acknowledge the faith and hard work of my campaign team, my husband Brent Chapman, our four children, Hannah, Beau, Donna, Lindsay, and son-in-law John, a great grandson of a former Conservative prime minister of Canada.
My heartfelt thanks go out to the 54.2% of Delta—Richmond East voters who, on May 2, put their confidence in me and the Conservative Party's platform, especially our vision for justice and the economy.
I am proud to be part of a government that is a convincing and passionate voice for Canadian families.
Thanks, merci beaucoup or, as I say to my Mandarin-speaking constituents, Xièxie.

Réjean Genest Shefford, QC
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to speak today for the first time in the House of Commons.
I would like to thank all the voters in the riding of Shefford who placed their trust in me on May 2. I am committed to working for them over the next four years and to representing their concerns in Ottawa. We have a lot of work to do to help families who are struggling to make ends meet, to improve our health care system and to help job-creating small businesses.
Over the course of my term, I will stand up for workers, to protect their salaries and their pensions.
I would once again like to thank the people of Shefford. I promise that I will be listening to what they have to say.
Wine Industry
Statements By Members
11 a.m.
Ron Cannan Kelowna—Lake Country, BC
Mr. Speaker, coming from B.C., I know there are still some Canucks fans crying in their beer, but today I am talking about wine. The aspect of Motion No. 218 that I have brought forward supports efforts to bring Canada's wine laws into the 21st century.
Hailing from the beautiful Okanagan Valley, Canadians from all over the country are drawn to our vineyards for the ultimate wine and culinary tourism experience. Yet when they try to purchase bottles of wine to take home, they, like anyone living outside a wine-producing province, are prohibited from doing so. Likewise, despite a robust online market in most other consumer sectors, vintners are prohibited from selling directly to Canadian consumers.
The current law hurts the Canadian wine brand and prohibits the growth of fledgling wine producers. With the help of the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food and the Minister of National Revenue, as well as strong grassroots support, we are working toward creating a personal exemption which respects the jurisdiction of provincial liquor boards.
Let us relax this archaic 1928 interprovincial trade barrier and create a win-win for Canadian wine producers and Canadian consumers. Let us free my grapes. Check out freemygrapes.ca.
Statements By Members
June 16th, 2011 / 11 a.m.
Hedy Fry Vancouver Centre, BC
Mr. Speaker, I was going to stand in the House today, a disappointed Vancouverite, eat crow, congratulate the Bruins and gloat a bit about our 16 Canadian home boys who helped them win. I was going to say how proud I am that the Canucks played like champions and took it down to the wire, game seven. I was going to be cocky and tell Boston to enjoy the cup while it can. Next year the Canucks are bringing it home, white towel mojo and all.
That all seems so banal now. The looting and burning riots in Vancouver fill me with shame and sadness. Thanks to the first responders who kept us safe, the well-prepared VPD, RCMP, St. Paul's and VGH emergency. Vancouver's true sports fans were gracious in defeat, but for the small band of hooligans who defaced my beautiful city, justice must be swift and sure.
National Parks
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Gord Brown Leeds—Grenville, ON
Mr. Speaker, this is the 100th anniversary of Canada's national parks.
In my great riding of Leeds—Grenville this summer, people can visit the following sites of significance in Canada's history: the Battle of the Windmill National Historic Site near Prescott, where in 1838 British troops and local militia defeated an invasion force of 300 American and Canadian rebels and prevented them from capturing Fort Wellington; Fort Wellington, which was built during the War of 1812 to defend the St. Lawrence River shipping route; the St. Lawrence Islands National Park, a tiny jewel with a rich and complex natural and human history; the 1810 Old Stone Mill in Delta, which showcases milling technology and 1800s industrial heritage; and the best part of the Rideau Canal, which, including Fort Henry and the Kingston Fortifications, is a world heritage site. The Rideau Canal is the finest and only continuously operating example of a European slack water canal in North America.
I encourage Canadians to visit these sites this year.
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Isabelle Morin Notre-Dame-de-Grâce—Lachine, QC
Mr. Speaker, yesterday one of my fellow citizens wrote me to say it took her three hours to get from Lachine to downtown Montreal, three hours to go 12 kilometres. That is four kilometres per hour and at that speed it is quicker to walk.
The closing of the Mercier Bridge has seriously disrupted the daily lives of my constituents and those of West Island and South Shore. In my riding, there are not enough trains to meet the increased demands and the stations are too far apart.
We must find concrete and long-lasting solutions to build a better future. The time to act is now. I am convinced that working together we can find a solution and that we can improve the lives of the people of NDG, Lachine and Dorval. I am committing myself to this work today and I will not stop until we get the job done.
Ponoka Stampede
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Blaine Calkins Wetaskiwin, AB
Mr. Speaker, this year the Ponoka Stampede will celebrate its 75th anniversary.
For the past 75 years, the Ponoka Stampede has treated people from all over North America to a top-notch rodeo, exciting races and affordable family entertainment. Attracting approximately 60,000 spectators each year, the Ponoka Stampede has become a tradition not only for the spectators but also for the hundreds of volunteers who work hard year after year to make the Ponoka Stampede one of Alberta's prime annual tourist attractions.
There is something for all ages, a full slate of rodeo events, chuckwagon races, a huge parade, an art show, midway rides and games, and the always exciting fireworks at the end of the day. The high calibre of stock, the world-class contestants, plus the unsurpassed facilities ensure a great show rain or shine.
I encourage one and all to come to Ponoka from June 27 to July 3 and experience real western hospitality and celebrate 75 years of the Ponoka Stampede.
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Daryl Kramp Prince Edward—Hastings, ON
Mr. Speaker, I am proud to be a member of a government that respects the values, the principles and the beliefs for the needs of hard-working Canadian families.
Our government's low tax plan will permanently enhance the guaranteed income supplement for some 680,000 of Canada's most vulnerable seniors.
Our government also supports family caregivers by removing the cap on eligible expenses that caregivers can claim under the medical expenses tax credit.
We also support parents by providing their children with the opportunities to grow creatively by establishing the children's art tax credit.
We support Canadian parents, their children and grandparents. That is why we put forward the next phase of Canada's economic action plan. It is a low tax plan for jobs and growth and it is working. We have and will continue to be here for hard-working Canadian families.
Darshan Gill
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Jinny Sims Newton—North Delta, BC
Mr. Speaker, this week Surrey and the South Asian communities across B.C. mourned the loss of a great, progressive man. On June 10, Dr. Darshan Gill died of cancer at Surrey Memorial Hospital. He was 68.
Dr. Gill was a leader in our community. He was a strong secular voice for the South Asian population and his bridging efforts as a translator and a peacemaker were remarkable. He was the former editor of Canada Darpan which he founded in 1982. He also hosted Sahitnama, a literary program on Radio India every Sunday. He edited 20 books and the Punjab government granted him a literary award for his contribution to Punjabi literature abroad.
Dr. Gill worked tirelessly to promote the Canadian values he held so dear, justice, equality and fairness for all. Our thoughts are with his family and their three children. The residents in our community share in their loss.
Statements By Members
11:10 a.m.
Wai Young Vancouver South, BC
Mr. Speaker, in a wonderful outpouring of city and national pride, some 100,000 fans made the effort to support our home team the Vancouver Canucks in an exciting Stanley Cup series.
Despite a valiant effort, we were all heartbroken by the Canucks' loss in game seven to the Boston Bruins, yet there was no need for the fringe rioting in the streets to kick Vancouver when the city was already down.
Last night, thugs attacked our city destroying blocks of businesses, turning over cars and looting.
Vancouver is a very proud city. We continue to be ranked as a world-class city to work, live and play. However, last night our "city of glass" was shattered again by Stanley Cup rioting.
My thoughts, and all our thoughts on the government side, are with the people of Vancouver as our city cleans up after these unacceptable acts of hostility.

St. Armand considers zoning, land-use laws
BLOOMINGDALE – The town of St. Armand is looking into the possibility of enacting zoning and land-use regulations.
Officials in the small town, which currently has no zoning and hasn't for decades, describe it as a way to be proactive in dealing with some of the property complaints and neighbor-vs.-neighbor conflicts that have come up in recent years.
The subject was raised at Tuesday night's town board meeting, when town Code Enforcement Officer Robert Drosdowich suggested the board consider adopting zoning ordinances or local laws to deal with certain things, like homeowners not properly disposing of household rubbish.
"I can write violations, but after a while you can only write so many violations and the garbage is still there," Drosdowich said. "I know in some towns, they have a local law that says if it's not picked up, the town will pick it up and put the cost on the owners' tax bill."
Requiring permits for putting up fencing and sheds, increasing building setbacks or only allowing farm animals like horses or chickens on certain size lots were other possible local laws the town could consider, Drosdowich said.
"I think there's a need for some of it," he said. "It would make my job a little easier. These are the ones I get complaints about, and there's not too much I can do if we don't have a local law."
Drosdowich said he didn't think it would be "a struggle" to do, as the town could get copies of similar land-use regulations and zoning laws from other towns and just tweak them to fit St. Armand. He said he wasn't suggesting creating 20 local laws all at once, maybe just one or two a year.
Supervisor Charles Whitson Jr. said it wouldn't be as hard to enact zoning as it would be to inform the public on why such laws could be necessary.
"Every time there is some little thing out there they don't like, they think, 'Well, we're going to put it onto this new law and get it outlawed,' and you'll have neighbor against neighbor," he said. "But, yes, I agree we do need some kind of regulation."
Whitson suggested appointing board members and local residents to a committee to draft possible zoning ordinances. He also said he'd reach out to Essex County Attorney Dan Manning for some legal advice.
Councilman Sam Grimone said the town is now in a "reactionary" position when property owner conflicts come up.
"Whenever someone decides to build a garage 3 feet from his property line, you have neighbor against neighbor, and there's nothing we can do about it," Grimone said. "I think we ought to be proactive and decide some of the things the residents of the town want and don't want, and do our zoning and laws to fit those things. Zoning doesn't create problems. Zoning can prevent problems."
Grimone said the town will likely get flak from people opposed to new land-use and zoning ordinances. He cited what happened several years ago when the town of Franklin enacted a controversial subdivision law and established a town planning board. The law was subsequently repealed and the planning board abolished after three new board members who had campaigned against both measures were elected.
"The last time this started to come of fruition, our neighbors had a big problem and it was very vocal, and quite honestly, it scared some people away," Grimone said. "I saw what happened in the nearby town. People paid the price."
Bloomingdale developer and real estate agent Sandy Hayes said St. Armand also tried to create a zoning plan that met state Adirondack Park Agency guidelines in the mid 1970s, but the plan was soundly rejected by the public and the town board. He said it would be worth looking into again.
"If you start out with the basics in a zoning law, put enough in there to get it started and make it palatable; then you can add to that over time," Hayes said. "But if you come down real heavy like they did in Franklin, there will be a rope hanging out front and you'll be swinging from it. That was serious stuff there in Franklin."
Public hearings would be held before any new laws or ordinances are enacted, town officials said.
"I think it's something to bring up to the community, and if they don't want it, at least they have the option," Drosdowich said.

Have you ever noticed how many different approaches you watch parents take with their kids? Some parents treat their kids like little buddies—that accepting friend they always wanted but could never find. Others are the exact opposite, ruling over their kids with an iron fist, enforcing good behavior with intimidation and threats. It's the dictator ruling over his subjects. And then you talk to some parents who are fulfilling dreams vicariously through the lives of their children. They enforce a strict regimen of disciplined training and study so the children will excel in sports, the arts, or education.
Whether a parent elevates the child unduly (friendship parenting), causes him to cower in fear (authoritarian parenting), or drives her to achieve (dream-fulfillment parenting), the poor kid completely misses the opportunity to enjoy what God created him or her to be…a kid. Childhood is lost because of the self-centeredness of the parent.
None of that has anything to do with God's design for childhood. Here's the approach God intended. It's simple, biblical, and we think your kids might like it a lot better. Here's John MacArthur to explain . . .

2nd question,
I was told yrs ago, A family had a deaf son and they don't seem to
love him or how to raise the child. They lock him in a room for 15
yrs with daily food and water. After, the child comes out, the child does not know English and acts as a animal acts. This is not the first, it has happen in past. This is a true story. That's why we must love our children as Jesus loves us and raise them in the way the Lord says in His Word.
God bless.

My wife and I have taken custody of her 2 nieces, and it has been a challenge. They are 11 and 12 years old, and my wife and I are 28 and 30. They were not really in a structured environment due to sickness with their care giver. To me instruction and discipline are equally as hard.
I have seen people use the friend method of parenting, and the dictator method.They have been disaterous. My parents did a great job I feel. There were rules, and there were consequences for breaking them. Not sure how to push them to accomplish their ability level in school. I have tried money for A's and trouble for bad grades. I would be thankful for any advice.

Thanks for sharing your story. Of course, the most important thing for you and your wife is to study what God has to say about rearing children in Scripture. In addition to that, my advice is to supplement your study of Scripture with John MacArthur's Fulfilled Family Series. It's available for free download at the following link: http://www.gty.org/Resources/Sermon+Series/52_The-Fulfilled-Family
Also, I would consult the leadership of your local church. It would bless your pastors to hear your story, provide some practical counsel, unite with you in prayer, and encourage you and your wife in your journey. I hope that helps.
To answer question 1, disciplining comes easier than instruction, for me. Discipline is a reaction to wrong behavior and attitudes while instruction is proactive. I really have to work hard at being proactive. It isn't as easy, but it is necessary for instructing my daughter.
To answer question 2, I have seen the authoritarian style played out to an extreme. The father is passive-aggressive toward his children with a quick temper. One minute, he is his children's buddy, ignoring their bad behavior altogether; and the next he is yelling at them for smallest mistakes and in his eyes, his children can't do anything right. Then he ignores them and acts as if he doesn't care about them. It's a vicious cycle that keeps repeating.
The children have quick tempers, just like their father, and are bullies to other children. Not a good situation.

This month, the State Department welcomes 630 recipients of the Critical Language Scholarship (CLS) for pre-departure orientations in Washington, D.C. These American undergraduate and graduate students will spend their summers in one of 14 countries studying the languages spoken there: Arabic, Azerbaijani, Bangla/Bengali, Chinese, Hindi, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Persian, Punjabi, Russian, Turkish, and Urdu. This year's CLS students hail from all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia. They come from over 250 public and private colleges and universities across the United States and study everything from literature to engineering to economics.
After a summer of intensive language study and cultural immersion, CLS students emerge as masters of critical world languages with lifelong friends in their host countries. CLS alumni go on to use their language skills in government, academic, nonprofit, and private sector work - many even join the Foreign Service! One CLS alumnus who joined the Foreign Service commented that CLS "reaffirmed his commitment to international public service". Another says her CLS experience was "pivotal in developing her professional life."
Other CLS alumni return to their host countries to live and work full-time. Emily Parker, an alumna of CLS Egypt and Tunisia, uses her high-level Arabic skills daily as a reporter in Tunisia. Emily recently wrote to us after receiving press credentials to cover Tunisia's October elections:
"I will never forget when, after carrying out a conversation with me in Arabic, the Tunisian passing out accreditation badges handed me a 'Tunisian journalist' badge but handed 'foreign journalist' badges to my co-workers who do not speak Arabic. The idea that she thought that I was Tunisian thrilled me to no end."
Through CLS and similar programs, the State Department is investing in a safer and more prosperous tomorrow, lead by a generation of global citizens who can fluently speak foreign languages and cross cultural boundaries. At just seven years old, the Critical Language Scholarship Program will doubtless continue to add skilled diplomats, academics, business leaders, and more to its alumni ranks. We are thrilled to welcome this year's CLS grantees and look forward to following all their future accomplishments. Follow the action with us on Twitter at @clscholarship.
Note: Senior Recruitment Outreach Officer Kathy Eagen hosted a live chat on the State Department Alumni website on May 31, 2012 to discuss how CLS alumni can utilize their critical language skills through career, internship and fellowship opportunities at the Department of State. You can read the transcript on State Alumni!

Google Doodle honors graphic icon Saul Bass
The Columbus Dispatch - May 08, 2013 10:05 AM
The Google Doodle on the website Wednesday honors the work of Saul Bass, a historic graphic designer and Oscar-winning filmmaker. Google Doodles are the interactive Java-based applications on Google that honor specific people and dates throughout history that reflect the personality of the company.
The clip marks some of the milestones in Bass' career. The striking film titles sequences by Bass were outside-the-box ways of presenting key information before a movie. Some of his most famous work, from movies like The Man with the Golden Arm (1955), Around the World in 80 Days (1956), Vertigo (1958), Anatomy of a Murder (1958), North by Northwest (1959), Psycho (1960) and West Side Story (1961), is referenced in the animation.
Posters created by Bass are also visually striking classics.
Bass, who died in 1996, worked with huge names in film from Alfred Hitchcock to Martin Scorsese. His style has been copied by numerous imitators through the years.
While the clip will only be on Google.com for one day, it should eventually be archived at the Google Doodle site.

My goal here is to write code to emulate the CHSH game. It will require reusing the probability and quantum mechanics monads I've used here many times before. So I won't be explaining how these work.
> import Data.Map (toList, fromListWith) > import Complex > infixl 7 .*The CHSH game is cooperative in the sense that the two players, A and B, are attempting to work together to win. The two players are widely separated. Between the two players is the game show host. The host randomly generates a pair of bits, s and t. s is sent to A and t is sent to B. Neither A nor B gets to see the message sent to their partner. A and B must now simultaneously make their moves, stating a choice of bit.
Call A's move a and B's move b. A and B win if they can arrange that a XOR b equals s AND t. So, for example, if A receives a true bit, and thinks B has also received a true bit, then A wants to make a move that differs from B's, otherwise A wants to make the same move as B. A and B are allowed to plan as much as they like beforehand but it should be pretty clear that they can't possibly guarantee a win.
We can formally write the victory condition as:
> victory a b s t = (a `xor` b) == (s && t)Now there's a pretty good strategy A and B can adopt: three quarters of the time, s AND t will be false. In that case, A and B want their answers to match. So they could simply choose false, regardless of what message the game show host sends them. We can give their strategies as a function of the host's message:
> astrategy s = False > bstrategy t = FalseNow we can simulate our game:
> game = doThe host picks a random bit to send to each player:
> s <- 0.5 .* return False + 0.5 .* return True > t <- 0.5 .* return False + 0.5 .* return TrueThe players now respond to each of their messages:
> let a = astrategy s > let b = bstrategy tNow we can collect the replies and score the result:
> let score = victory a b s t > return score > play1 = collect gameRunning play1 gives the expected result that A and B have a 3/4 chance of winning. It's not hard to prove classically that they can do no better than this.
But in a quantum universe it is possible to do better! We now allow A and B to adopt strategies that involve making measurements of a quantum system. To describe their strategies we need to use the quantum monad. Here is the previous strategy rewritten for this monad. In this case, the argument b is the state of the quantum system they observe. The first element of the pair is the move in the game, the second element is the state the physical system is left in by the player:
> aqstrategy b s = qreturn (False, b) > bqstrategy b t = qreturn (False, b)Now we can rewrite game to support quantum processes:
> game' aqstrategy bqstrategy bits = do > s <- 0.5 .* preturn False + 0.5 .* preturn True > t <- 0.5 .* preturn False + 0.5 .* preturn True > (score, _, _) <- collect $ observe $ do > (abit, bbit) <- bits > (a, abit') <- aqstrategy abit s > (b, bbit') <- bqstrategy bbit t > let score = victory a b s tNote that we have to return abit' and bbit' because quantum processes are reversible and can't erase information about a state. Also note that abit' and bbit' can be widely separated in space.
> qreturn (score, abit', bbit')Probabilistic processes can erase whatever they like:
> preturn scoreThe quantum version of a coin toss to generate a random bit, ie. an equal superposition of False and True:
> coin' = (1/sqrt 2) .* qreturn False + (1/sqrt 2) .* qreturn True > bits = do > a <- coin' > b <- coin' > return (a, b)So now we play exactly as in play1 except that we give each player an independent qubit, which they ignore:
> play2 = collect $ game' aqstrategy bqstrategy bitsUnsurprisingly, the probability of winning is just the same as before.
But now we can try something impossible in the classical case. We give each player half of a perfectly correlated pair of qubits. The players are now entangled and can exploit non-locality. Of course if their strategies ignore the qubits we get the same result as before:
> bell = (1/sqrt 2) .* qreturn (False, False) + (1/sqrt 2) .* qreturn (True, True) > play3 = collect $ game' aqstrategy bqstrategy bellNow comes the surprising bit. The players can each look at the (classical) bit given to them by the game host. Depending what it is they rotate the qubit's state through some angle in state space. (In the case of the qubit being an electron state, this is an actual physical rotation of the electron.) In these strategies, the choice of move is the same as the state the qubit is left in after observation, hence the qreturn (b', b') bit.
> aqstrategy' b False = rotate (0) b >>= \b' -> qreturn (b', b') > aqstrategy' b True = rotate (pi/2) b >>= \b' -> qreturn (b', b') > bqstrategy' b False = rotate (pi/4) b >>= \b' -> qreturn (b', b') > bqstrategy' b True = rotate (-pi/4) b >>= \b' -> qreturn (b', b')And now when we play, the probability of winning is greater than 3/4.
> play4 = collect $ game' aqstrategy' bqstrategy' bellAll of the 'communication' took place before the game started. A and B didn't communicate s and t to each other. And yet they can beat the classical odds.
So in conclusion: Quantum mechanics gives opportunities for collusion that are impossible classically. Sadly we don't yet know how to maintain the state of separated entangled qubits for extended periods of time. But I remember seeing recently that people are managing to maintain qubit states for nanoseconds.
By the way, there are games where it is possible to achieve a 100% success rate with the help of quantum states. These give examples of what is known as quantum pseudo-telepathy. I presume the "pseudo" is because despite the 100% success rate, it still doesn't give a way to send messages instantly.
A last thought from me: one reason why humans send messages is to allow them to coordinate strategies. But quantum game theory shows that we can coordinate strategies without sending messages. In other words, even though non-locality doesn't give us faster-than-light communication, it does allow us to do things that were previously thought to require FTL. I think this may have some profound consequences.
And an example from a different domain: in biochemistry one could imagine remote parts of ligands coordinating the way they bind to receptors, something that would be completely missed by the kind of quasi-classical simulation I've seen biochemists use.
My standard quantum mechanics code:
> data W b a = W { runW :: [(a, b)] } deriving (Eq, Show, Ord) > mapW f (W l) = W $ map (\(a, b) -> (a, f b)) l > instance Functor (W b) where > fmap f (W a) = W $ map (\(a, p) -> (f a, p)) a > instance Num b => Monad (W b) where > return x = W [(x, 1)] > l >>= f = W $ concatMap (\(W d, p) -> map (\(x, q)->(x, p*q)) d) (runW $ fmap f l) > a .* b = mapW (a*) b > instance (Eq a, Show a, Num b) => Num (W b a) where > W a + W b = W $ (a ++ b) > a - b = a + (-1) .* b > _ * _ = error "Num is annoying" > abs _ = error "Num is annoying" > signum _ = error "Num is annoying" > fromInteger a = if a==0 then W [] else error "fromInteger can only take zero argument" > collect :: (Ord a, Num b) => W b a -> W b a > collect = W . filter ((/= 0) . snd) . toList . fromListWith (+) . runW > type P a = W Double a > type Q a = W (Complex Double) a > a `xor` b = a/=b > rotate :: Double -> Bool -> Q Bool > rotate theta True = let theta' = theta :+ 0 > in cos (theta'/2) .* return True - sin (theta'/2) .* return False > rotate theta False = let theta' = theta :+ 0 > in cos (theta'/2) .* return False + sin (theta'/2) .* return True > observe :: Ord a => Q a -> P a > observe = W . map (\(a, w) -> (a, magnitude (w*w))) . runW . collectSome help for the compiler (and maybe humans too):

Leadership for the Extension Service is provided through the
Director of Extension, who also serves as Associate Dean of
Agriculture. Over 100 on-campus Extension Specialists have
appointments in departments in the schools of Agriculture,
Consumer and Family Sciences, and Veterinary Medicine. With
the exception of the six regional specialists located at the
Southwest Purdue Agriculture Program (Vincennes) and the Fort
Wayne and North Central campuses, all specialists are located
on the West Lafayette campus.
Some 275 Extension Educators are located in the 92 counties
of Indiana. These professionals provide the linkage between
the citizens of Indiana and the scientists located on the
Purdue campuses.
The Educators listen to what local citizens are saying and
provide feedback to the University for determining research
and education needs. The Educators provide programs based
on identified local needs.
Purdue Extension has been a part of the University since
the Indiana General Assembly passed the Farmers Institute
Act on March 9, 1889. This Act provided funds for the first
Extension work to be organized by Purdue University. The Extension
Service was recognized nationally in 1914 by the Smith-Lever
Act. Funding for the Extension Service programs is provided
by federal, state, and county governments, and from grants,
contracts, and fees for specialized programs.

I think I might have found the cause of this issue. I had the same problem on my site and found this topic in hopes of a solution. Seeing no current solution I decided to try to debug it myself. The first thing I did was disable all the plugins except for Exchange as others had tried above. The issue remained. The first clue I noted was that the Navigational Label for the Store Page would appear if the user wasn't logged in. I assumed that Exchange must be filtering the output of the menus and somehow causing the Navigational Label for the Store Page to disappear. Searching through all the filters that Exchange set, I found:
add_filter( 'wp_setup_nav_menu_item', array( $this, 'setup_menu_item' ), 10, 2 );and
add_filter( 'wp_get_nav_menu_items', 'it_exchange_wp_get_nav_menu_items_filter', 10, 3 );
The second filter was of particular interest as it uses:
if ( is_user_logged_in() ) { foreach ( $items as $item ) { //We really just want to compare the URL PATH, so grab that and compare later if ( '' == get_option( 'permalink_structure' ) ) { // No permalinks $item_url_path = parse_url( $item->url, PHP_URL_QUERY ); $login_url_path = parse_url( it_exchange_get_page_url( 'login' ), PHP_URL_QUERY ); $logout_url_path = parse_url( it_exchange_get_page_url( 'logout' ), PHP_URL_QUERY ); } else { // Permalinks $item_url_path = parse_url( $item->url, PHP_URL_PATH ); $login_url_path = parse_url( it_exchange_get_page_url( 'login' ), PHP_URL_PATH ); $logout_url_path = parse_url( it_exchange_get_page_url( 'logout' ), PHP_URL_PATH ); } if ( $item_url_path == $login_url_path || $item_url_path == $logout_url_path ) { $item->url = it_exchange_get_page_url( 'logout' ); $item->title = it_exchange_get_page_name( 'logout' ); } } }
Commenting out the entire if statement resolved the issue.
Now that I had found the section of code causing the issue, I realized exactly what the issue was. I had disabled the Customer Log Out page which was causing the final if in the foreach loop to return true because it evaluated:
$item_url_path == $logout_url_pathto
'/store/' == '/store/'since there was no Customer Log Out url set. This causes the Store Page's title to be set to the no existent Customer Log Out page's name. Therefore, no Navigational Label will appear on the Store Page, but only for logged in users. The fix should include some type of check to see if:
'disabled' !== it_exchange_get_page_type( 'logout' )
