Sauteed Potatoes with Chorizo
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 10 ounces Mexican pork chorizo, casings removed*
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 pound red skinned new potatoes, cut into small (1/4-inch) dice, and boiled
- Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper
DirectionsWatch how to make this recipe.
Heat the oil in a heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and cook, breaking up the clumps, until dry and crisp, about 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the chorizo to a paper lined plate to absorb any additional oil. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of fat from the pan and heat the pan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and boiled potatoes and saute until brown, about 12 minutes. Stir in the cooked chorizo and season with just a little salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve.
*Cook's Note: Mexican chorizo is an uncooked sausage, made with fresh ground pork and well seasoned with smoked red chiles. Since it's fresh, you will need to remove the casing before cooking it. They can be found at most supermarkets. Also, some chorizos are very salty so watch the seasoning!
A great filling for soft tacos, just add shredded cheese, beans or your favorite taco filling!

Diocese breaks ground on $7.5 mil. project
NEW ULM – With prayers and songs, and probably a few muttered wishes that the snow would go away, the Diocese of New Ulm broke ground Friday on its new Pastoral Center, a $7.5 million project to replace the small Diocesan Center built in 1960.
Most Rev. John M. LeVoir, bishop of the New Ulm Diocese, led the prayers and the digging on a sunny but chilly afternoon, where a brisk wind kept blowing wet blobs of snow from the nearby pines onto the spectators.
The new diocesan center has been eight years in the planning. The old Pastoral Center was built in 1960, when the Diocese was three years old. At that time the center served as a residence for Bishop Alphones Schladweiler, with plenty of room for the few offices needed for the diocese.
But over the years the diocesan administration grew to 20 different offices, and the technological needs of the center grew as well. Time took a toll on the building, and a 2004 survey of the building revealed corroded and leaking pipes, faulty and inadequate wiring and mold caused by condensation. Estimates determined the cost of bringing the old building up to snuff would be about the same or more than building a new building.
In January 2011 the Diocese started a $15 million capital campaign, entitled "Christ Is Our Life," to raise funds for the new pastoral center. Half of the money is going back to the diocese's 76 parishes to use for their own needs.
"We are about a million short of the goal," said Bishop LeVoir after the groundbreaking. He praised the generosity of the people of the diocese, who contributed to the effort. He said the parishes have already been using their share of funds for a variety of projects, from new roofs to foundation repairs, to window projects, to setting up endowment funds for future maintenance.
"It has been a blessing for the parishes as well," said the bishop.
YHR Partners of Moorhead is the architect of the project, which is being built on nearly three acres of land between 5th North and Sixth North along North Highland Avenue. The building will include 28,320 square feet of space, room enough for a chapel, a lobby, a multipurpose room, 28 offices, four conference rooms, and all the other amenities for the diocesan staff now and for years to come.
Construction is expected to take a year. Donlar Construction Company of St. Cloud is the construction manager. A variety of local firms will be subcontractors. MR Paving workers are poised and waiting only for the snow to melt and the ground to dry to start excavating the site next week.

Hi All! I have been meaning to introduce myself here in this amazing forum for awhile! I am enjoying the wealth of information that is available for me here...My ceramics and art is an expression of my inspiration of nature and earth...I love working with the earth in my garden and creating using earth as a medium. I create all of my glazes in my home studio...in my garden I grow much of my own ingredients for teas. I am currently exploring the use of recycled glass in my earth and water series of tea ware. All of my pieces are completely food, dishwasher and microwave safe with the exception of my raku pieces. I also enjoy yoga, cooking, painting, reading and meditating.

When Carl Zeiss created the Distagon® T* 2.8/50 FE lens the target was neither to keep it as compact as the Distagon T* 4/50 CFi lens nor to integrate a central shutter. Freed from these constraints the result is an extraordinary wide angle lens: twice as fast as usual in medium format, superb performance with excellent color correction, even wide open and close-up due to "floating elements" (FLE) that automatically adjust internal optical air spaces to the needs of close-up imaging.
This is the ideal wide angle lens for all photographers who need to produce professional results in cramped surroundings, under low light conditions and terrible time pressure. Optics conoisseurs also do appreciate the Distagon T* 2.8/50 FE lens highly. No wonder it became a preferred lens in NASA space missions.

A recording is available from Parliament.
MPs speaking
Also speaking
- Michael Wernick Deputy Minister, Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development
- Michael Nadler Director General, Policy and Planning, Canadian Northern Economic Development Agency
8:55 a.m.
The Chair Bruce Stanton
Good morning, members, and thank you for joining us here on this rather snowy morning.
Our orders of the day today, pursuant to Standing Order 81(5), are supplementary estimates (C), 2010-11. This is on votes 1c, 5c, 10c, and 15c under Indian Affairs and Northern Development, referred to the committee on Tuesday, February 8.
As is customary, we welcome Minister John Duncan, Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development. It's great that you could join us, Minister.
You know the drill, of course, having been a dutiful member of our committee yourself in the past. So go ahead with your opening statement and we'll take it from there.
8:55 a.m.
Vancouver Island North
John Duncan Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development
Thank you very much, Chair.
I apologize for being a tad late. There were some countermanding instructions as to where I was supposed to be this morning, but I'm happy to be here.
Thank you for inviting me to discuss the 2010-11 supplemental estimates (C) of the department. These complement the recently tabled main estimates in the report on plans and priorities. I'd be pleased to speak to any of them.
This committee plays a valuable role in ensuring Canadians' tax dollars are used wisely and achieve the intended results. I welcome your review of my department's expenditures, which demonstrate that we are doing exactly that.
Through these estimates the department accesses the funds required to continue delivering on our government's commitment to improve the quality of life for first nations, Inuit, Métis, and northerners. Our progress has been noteworthy. My department is achieving concrete results in areas such as the construction of new schools and housing, women's rights, land claims and self-government, economic development, and safe drinking water.
I've witnessed this program first-hand. I've had the privilege of travelling across the country from coast to coast to coast meeting extraordinary Canadians. I've seen how our government's investments are making a meaningful difference in the lives of aboriginal people.
Take the example of the new Frenchman's Head elementary school in Ontario's Lac Seul First Nation, which I officially opened last November. Education is a priority for this government. Equipping children with a quality education is the best possible way to make sure they have the means to succeed. That school, by the way, took 14 months to build, from the time we made the announcement to the time they opened the school. It shows what can be done if the local first nation has a project that is shovel-ready.
Our government is committed to ensuring first nation children achieve the same educational outcomes as other Canadians. That's why we are collaborating with the Assembly of First Nations to establish a national panel that will lead a broad engagement process. The panel is mandated to advise on the development of options, including legislation, to improve elementary and secondary education outcomes for first nation children who live on reserve. We are working to ensure that students always come first.
I've also had the opportunity to initial several groundbreaking agreements that are empowering aboriginal communities.
Just last month I signed an agreement with Teslin Tlingit Council that recognizes its jurisdiction to administer, enforce, and adjudicate its own laws. This agreement represents a significant step in the implementation of first nation self-government in Yukon and nationally.
A few weeks earlier, in January, I travelled to Yellowknife to co-sign the Northwest Territories devolution agreement-in-principle, a historic development for the territory.
I was happy to participate in ceremonies marking major milestones reached in the Fort William First Nation boundary claim, as well as the Toronto Purchase and Brant Tract specific claims agreements with the Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation, both in Ontario.
I've also taken part in moving ceremonies that acknowledged past wrongs and set them right. I was honoured to be in Inukjuak to deliver, on behalf of the government, the high Arctic relocation apology. I visited Resolute and Grise Fiord as well, where I participated in the unveiling of monuments commemorating the lives and hardships of those who were relocated.
Another of our accomplishments is Bill C-3, the Gender Equity in Indian Registration Act. It ensures that eligible grandchildren of women who lost status as a result of marrying non-Indian men are entitled to Indian status in accordance with the Indian Act.
Mr. Chairman, I am especially excited about some of the promising economic development activity taking place across the country.
In January my department was proud to co-host the second Métis economic development symposium in Vancouver. This was a follow-up to the very successful first symposium in December 2009. Along with Métis nation leaders and the aboriginal affairs ministers from the five westernmost provinces and industry leaders, we explored successful approaches to economic development. We also discussed practical ways to strengthen entrepreneurship among Métis women, because our government is committed to ensuring that Métis fully share in economic development opportunities across Canada.
I also took part in the alternative energy for B.C. first nations gathering in Vancouver last month. First nations in B.C. are involved in wind, solar, biomass, and hydro projects throughout the province.
We are making headway on important social priorities as well. Access to safe drinking water is a significant challenge for some first nation communities and one we are working hard with our partners to address. Our government has allocated approximately $2.5 billion for water and waste-water infrastructure in first nations since 2006.
We are determined that first nations will have access to the same quality of drinking water as other Canadian communities. I made that clear when I spoke to the Standing Senate Committee on Aboriginal Peoples just two days ago about Bill S-11, an act respecting the safety of drinking water on first nation lands. This act will allow for the development of federal regulations for drinking water and waste water in first nation communities.
I'm pleased to announce today the reappointments of two treaty commissioners: the Honourable Bill McKnight as treaty commissioner for Saskatchewan, and James Brook Wilson as commissioner of the treaty relations commission of Manitoba. In addition to their appointments, the mandates of the Saskatchewan and Manitoba treaty relations commissions will be extended for another three-year term.
Tomorrow I will be in Saskatchewan to announce a new memorandum of understanding to promote active measures strategies focused on first nation labour market participation. Our government is joining forces with Saskatchewan first nations, tribal councils, the Government of Saskatchewan, provincial employers, and training institutions. Together, we're pledging to increase first nation participation in Saskatchewan's workforce and enhance employment outcomes for first nations.
Meeting the needs of northerners also remains a high priority. As committee members are aware, the cost of living north of 60 is very high, particularly in isolated communities. This includes the cost of food. We want to make sure that northerners, like other Canadians, have access to good-quality, nutritious food.
Yesterday I was in Iqaluit. We announced that the Nutrition North Canada program would re-list the items that had been de-listed as of last October until October 2012 to allow for two more sealift seasons. This will ease the transition for the retailers and make sure that there's a smooth transition through the supply chain, which was turning out to be a bit of an issue. That's a very significant development, but the program itself is still going kick in on April 1, just three weeks from now.
This new program will provide higher subsidies in eligible communities for nutritious perishable foods such as fruits, vegetables, bread, meats, milk, and eggs, along with reduced subsidies for less healthy items.
We saw the problems with this program, we said we were listening, and we made changes.
During my travels to the north I've had the opportunity to make a number of important announcements that support the development of a prosperous northern economy. The Canadian Northern Economic Development Agency, also known as CanNor, is a key player in delivering on this priority, and we continue to take action across a variety of sectors to support a strong, diversified north that benefits northerners and Canadians.
A key sector in building a sustainable and dynamic northern economy is tourism. Attracting more visitors to the north will help create and build significant long-term business opportunities and create local jobs.
Since February 20 we've invested something over $5.5 million in tourism-related projects across the north to promote the region throughout Canada and around the world as a dynamic tourism destination. Those have been very well-received programs, and their statistics on tourism are very good, actually.
Northerners have many exciting developments to look forward to in the coming years. One important initiative for the north is the Nanisivik naval facility. This deepwater docking and refueling facility for Arctic offshore patrol ships and other Government of Canada vessels will be a valuable economic and security addition to the region. To date, a contract has been awarded for the facility design, and a site assessment is in progress. The construction of the on-site administration building to support military exercises is expected to be completed this year.
The Canadian high Arctic research station in Cambridge Bay is another big project that will be taking shape in the north in years to come. The station will advance Canada's knowledge in areas including economic development, sovereignty, the environment, and healthy communities for the benefit of northerners and all Canadians. A feasibility study is currently under way to establish the functions of the facility and outline the preliminary project costs and building schedule.
Mr. Chair, we need the committee's approval of these supplementary estimates to maintain this momentum. The department's spending levels for the 2010-11 year, which is drawing to a close, will be $8.3 billion. This will include $51 million in these supplementary estimates.
In addition to the items I've already noted, these supplementary funds will be used to address health and safety concerns in first nations communities through the emergency management assistance program; advance outstanding land claim and treaty issues in Yukon; enhance the northern regulatory system and implement the cumulative impact monitoring program in the Northwest Territories and Nunavut; and renew the Naskapi capital funding agreement and the Naskapi operations and maintenance funding transfer payment agreement. These initiatives, along with those from Budget 2010 and Canada's economic action plan, are essential.
I look forward to discussing these issues with you and I welcome your questions.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
9:10 a.m.
The Chair Bruce Stanton
Thank you, minister.
We'll now begin the first round.
Mr. Russell, you have seven minutes.
9:10 a.m.
Todd Russell Labrador, NL
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Good morning, Minister. It's good to have you and your officials with us again.
I want to ask a couple of very specific questions. Responses shouldn't take long, I don't believe.
I had the honour of meeting with the Sayisi Dene this past week. It was my first experience meeting with their leadership, their elders. They certainly took me through their tragic relocation story of the 1950s.
I understand there was an impromptu meeting beteeen some of your officials and them this past week. They indicated that you had agreed to meet with them and to discuss Dr. Bartram's report, which was presented to the department in 2009 and was reviewed by your predecessor, Mr. Strahl, in 2010. I want to confirm whether that meeting is going to go ahead, sir.
9:10 a.m.
John Duncan Vancouver Island North, BC
There was an occupation at my office, a most inappropriate occupation at my office yesterday when I was travelling, and my chief of staff met with the people who were there. I have agreed to a meeting sometime in the future.
I'm well aware of Dr. Jeremiah Bartram's ministerial representative report. We are in the process of reviewing that report.
I have also met with Minister Robinson from the Province of Manitoba. As you know, they're a significant participant in all things to do with the Sayisi Dene, and they have transferred or are in the process of transferring significant land to the Sayisi Dene.
I will be meeting with them. I don't think we have pinned a date down at this point.
There was no request, by the way, before two days ago, so this was all very much a hurried affair. They came to Ottawa and demanded a meeting, as opposed to calling ahead and asking for one. So I think, not to re-till that ground but just to answer your question, that there will be a meeting planned, and, yes, we've been reviewing the circumstances. I am aware that this whole relocation was a subject in the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples report.
9:10 a.m.
Todd Russell Labrador, NL
Thank you for that, Minister. I'm sure they will appreciate the opportunity to meet with you.
On a separate issue, the Sliammon negotiations, there was a handshake deal—I guess they had reached a deal on a final agreement—in June 2010. It's my understanding that the community itself, with support from the Municipality of Powell River—I had an opportunity to meet with the mayor and also with the leadership, Chief Williams, yesterday with my leader, Michael Ignatieff.... They and the province have signed off on this.
They have indicated that similar agreements, such as the Maa-nulth and the Tsawwassen agreements, basically advanced in about eight weeks, and now we're into the ninth month. Can you give us a quick sense of why there is delay in the negotiations and where they might stand in terms of looking to the federal government's moving forward with it?
9:10 a.m.
John Duncan Vancouver Island North, BC
There has been a delay. I have been engaged in conversation on this with the first nations summit, the province, and the B.C. Treaty Commission. We are reviewing our circumstance. I expect that we're just a matter of weeks away from being able to make progress on this.
9:10 a.m.
Todd Russell Labrador, NL
I thank you for that. Of course, these negotiations are tough. They have been going on since 1994, and people want to get to a resolution, as I'm sure the government does as well.
Moving to the east coast of Labrador, can you update us, Minister, on two particular claims in my riding? There's the Innu Nation claim. I know there are significant issues regarding some overlap with the Innu of Quebec, but there's an environmental assessment happening now over a major hydroelectric project, the Lower Churchill project. No doubt claims negotiations with the Labrador Innu and the Quebec Innu are going to significantly impact upon this. I'd like to know what stage these are at.
As well, the Nunatukavut have a claim, formerly the Labrador Métis Nation. They've had a claim in since 1990, resubmitted in 1996. Additional information has been provided, I think, up until last year. The department had undertaken to speedily review this additional information and arrive at a decision around acceptance or non-acceptance for negotiation.
Can you update me on both of those particular files, as they're very relevant and very important.
9:15 a.m.
John Duncan Vancouver Island North, BC
I heard three files. Was it just two?

Todd Russell Labrador, NL
Primarily it's the Innu of Labrador situation and the Nunatukavut. On the Nunatukavut, do we have a timeframe for when we're going to have a response from the department?
9:15 a.m.
John Duncan Vancouver Island North, BC
I had conversations with Premier Williams when he was still premier and with the Innu leadership. That was a significant three-way meeting. As government we've had further discussions with Premier Dunderdale. We are reviewing the request from the Innu Nation and from the province. I'm not in a position to be able to say any more than that.
Obviously this project at Muskrat Falls on the Lower Churchill is very important and very significant, and we do understand the economic significance of it.
Just briefly on the overlap issue, we have named a special representative, Fred Caron, who I understand has been making some progress on that file. I'm probably not very well versed on the Labrador claim.
9:15 a.m.
Michael Wernick Deputy Minister, Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development
The Labrador Métis group, now styled as Nunatukavut, is in the courts in Newfoundland trying to resolve whether the environmental assessment should go ahead first. So I think we're going to have to let that play out before we can negotiate the claim, which overlaps considerably with the Innu claim.
9:15 a.m.
The Chair Bruce Stanton
Thank you, Mr. Russell.
Now I invite Mr. Lemay to take the floor for seven minutes.
March 10th, 2011 / 9:15 a.m.
Marc Lemay Abitibi—Témiscamingue, QC
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Minister, I know your time is limited, and mine is as well. I've just had a real shock. I'll tell you why. A nice document was tabled. That was the 2011-12 Estimates. When you look at that nice document and go to page 73 of the French version—unfortunately, I don't have the page number in English—with all due deference to your parliamentary secretary, who will no longer be able to use Canada's Economic Action Plan, it states the following:
A reduction of $289.3 million reflecting the sunset of funding to support investments in first nations infrastructure for school construction, water and wastewater projects, and on-reserve housing (Canada's Economic Action Plan).
To offset this phenomenal reduction, you're announcing the creation of a national expert panel to study the education engagement process. That panel will be meeting to examine the studies that have already been done and their findings. Do you want me to tell you the conclusion they'll reach? That panel, which will cost us a fortune, will recommend the creation of aboriginal school boards. That's what's coming, and that's what the first nations want. We don't need a national expert panel, minister.
I'm shocked. We're talking about $289 million! I have a specific question. How many schools in Quebec will be built or renovated next year, despite the announced $289 million cut? Before investing in first nations wastewater treatment, are you waiting for Bill S-11 to reach the end of its life in the Senate and to come back here, which has little chance of happening before the summer adjournment? Otherwise, how much will be invested in wastewater treatment in Quebec in 2011-2012?
That's my first question. Wait till you hear the next one!
9:20 a.m.
John Duncan Vancouver Island North, BC
The simple answer on the water and wastewater spending for next year is that it is $280 million, but that's across the country.

Take your school locker way beyond boring.
Rugs, wallpaper�and chandeliers aren�t found on most back-to-school lists. But today�s students seem to be snapping�up these items�the more color- blazed and blinged-out the better�to creatively shore up their own little corner of daily student life: the school locker. Students have long individualized standard-issue lockers with posters and pictures, but the personalization trend has exploded recently, with aisles of new products in stores and websites filled with DIY ideas. �Getting your first locker in middle school is a rite of passage,��says JoAnn Brewer, a 52-year-old mom who co-founded the locker accessories company LockerLookz four years ago after witnessing her pre-teen daughter�s frustration�at the lack of style in retail locker organizers. (Girls remain the main buyers�anything in pink is perpetually hot). The company�s top seller is a battery-operated beaded chandelier that lights up when the locker door is opened. Animal prints and chevron patterns on faux fur rugs or picture frames, as well as a magnet that looks like a giant jewel, are new additions to this fall�s lineup. �Not everyone gets to see your�bedroom, but everyone can see your locker,� Brewer says. �It draws attention, and that makes you feel good.� Before undertaking any locker makeover, students should check school regulations, which usually specify that decorations must be temporary (no paint or drilling holes). And many schools don�t allow decorations outside the locker, except for a birthday or sports event.�Since most lockers are metal, magnets are a student�s best friend, whether for holding up a mirror for between-class touchups, or securing baskets, clips and hooks to keep school supplies organized. Montclair, N.J.,-based Wish Factory sells a line of locker products at Toys �R� Us that includes themed wallpaper such as �Bohemian Spirit� and �Beach Crush.� A popular item is a magnetized headset hanger that sells for under $3. New this year at Target is a lighted rotating disco ball for $14.99. And don�t forget the tried and true items for lockers: plastic shelving to increase organization and a survival kit, which can include tissues, acne medication, hair bands, lip balm, contact lens solution and other necessities to get through the school day. Add Some Flair � LockerLookz.com Design a one- of-a-kind locker online. � LuvUrLocker.com Look for disco balls, wallpaper and cell phone bins. � Pottery Barn Teen Shop Get locker accessories in Pottery Barn stores, or visit pbteen.com. � Target, Dollar Tree and Wal-Mart Browse these stores for decorations and locks. � Most schools provide locks or offer lockers with built-in locks. If you need your own, MasterLock (masterlocks. com) sells padlocks and keyed locks with colors and patterns beyond blah grey. � Get ideas on Pinterest at pinterest.com/explore/lockers-decorations/ � Peruse how-to videos on Youtube (search �locker decorations�).

Dickinson Home Health offers 'Hospital to Home' program
IRON MOUNTAIN – Dickinson Home Health recently launched its new Hospital to Home program, which seeks to ease the transition from hospital care to independent care for patients who need a little extra help to remain safe and healthy in their home environments.
The new program provides one free follow-up home visit to at-risk, non-homebound patients discharged from Dickinson Memorial Hospital in order to provide successful transition from hospital to home. A home health nurse will focus on medication reconciliation, home safety and community referrals as needed. The new program functions as follows:
– At the time of discharge from the hospital, the patient will be assessed to determine his or her eligibility for the follow-up home visits using a check list of specific criteria.
– Eligible patients will receive a visit prior to discharge from a nurse, discharge planner or social worker who will explain the program to them and their family members.
– Upon patient acceptance, hospital staff will complete a referral sheet and contact Dickinson Home Health.
– Within 48 hours, staff from Dickinson Home Health will contact the patient to establish an appointment for their home visit.
– The home health nurse will spend approximately one hour in the patient's home reviewing and reconciling patient medications, assessing the home environment for basic safety concerns, providing information for referrals to outside agencies that may be of benefit to the patient, and answering any concerns the patient may have once he or she has arrived home from the hospital.
– All information obtained during this home visit will be recorded on the Home Visit Record sheet to be included in the patient's medical record, and a copy of it will be sent to the patient's physician.
"Certainly patients have been fully assessed while they are still in the hospital to determine if they can be discharged home," explained Susan Hadley, RN, director of nursing. "They are also given detailed instructions as part of their formal discharge. But that time of transition as they leave the hospital can be confusing to many. So we are looking forward to working closely with home care nursing staff to complete and improve our discharge process."
"Patients look forward to going home after a hospital stay," added Tina Zarcone, RN, manager of Dickinson Home Health. "Once they are home, however, the full realization sets in that they are now responsible for their care, and many times family members are involved to help complete the cycle of care that the patient needs to fully recover. Questions arise that they may not have thought about while still in the hospital."
The visit provided through the Hospital to Home Program has a very specific purpose, continued Zarcone.
"The nurse does not provide any kind of skilled care, she explained. "This home visit is designed to help transition the patient more fully back home and to help guarantee he or she has all the information needed to remain safely at home through their recuperative process."

Nvidia Corp. plans to re-name its graphics cards once again in a bid to spur interest towards its products and try to simplify its product lineup. However, graphics cards that are hardly different from those available a year ago, but which carry new names, will cause a mess on the market.
According to Nvidia's recently released ForceWare 178.15 drivers, the company plans to quietly unveil GeForce GTS 150, GeForce GT 130 and GeForce GT 120 graphics cards shortly. Unfortunately, the new products will be hardly different from already available graphics cards, however, they will attract attention of end-users and system integrators, something that Nvidia needs these days.
The GeForce GTS 150 will be based on code-named G92 chip that powers massive amount of graphics cards, including GeForce 8800 GT, 8800 GTS, 8800 GS, 9600 GSO, 9800 GT, 9800 GTS, 9800 GX2. Actual configuration of the graphics card is unknown, but it would be logical to expect its characteristics to resemble those of 9800 GTX.
Nvidia's GeForce GT 130 will be powered by the G94 that is also available on GeForce 9600 GT, 9600 GS, 9550 GT, 9800 S, 9700 S and so on.
The GeForce GT 120, which features code-named G96 chip onboard, will be the successor of such graphics cards as GeForce 8600 GT, GeForce 8600 GTS, 9400 GT, 9500 GT as well s 9500 GS.
The new graphics cards will support DirectX 10 as well as hardware decoding of high-definition video streams along with advanced video post-processing, however, they will not bring any new features or considerable performance improvements. For example, the GeForce GT 120 will deliver the same functionality and performance as the GeForce 8600 GT, which was made available in April '07.
It is unknown whether Nvidia plans to reconsider pricing of new graphics cards compared to existing ones.
With the new renaming, this will be the third re-branding of Nvidia GeForce graphics cards without substantial improvements of feature-set or performance.
Nvidia did not comment on the news-story.

There is a lot of guessing by industry about where and how often leaks occur, an expert says.are caused by more erratic and episodic factors, such as a valve or storage-tank hatch suddenly stuck open. Hence the need for "continuous measurements" for methane leaks across large areas, Zondlo said.

Cellulite: An Update
NEW YORK, NY (August 6, 2003) - Most women, to varying degrees, are plagued with cellulite, a condition that gives the skin a dimpled appearance and usually is most prevalent in the thigh, hip and buttock areas. Patients consulting with board-certified plastic surgeons for body contouring frequently ask what can be done to reduce the appearance of cellulite. Currently, there is no ideal treatment.
"Cellulite is caused by bands of fibrous tissue that connect the muscle to the skin," says Peter Fodor, MD, President-Elect of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS). "If these bands are tight and the fat between the muscle and the skin is compressed, there will be dimpling." Almost all women (and some men) have cellulite, stemming from genetic predisposition, hormonal changes and weight gain.
Various treatments have emerged over time that claim to "treat" cellulite. ASAPS, the leading society of plastic surgeons who specialize in aesthetic (cosmetic) surgery, offers this information summarizing the current available information:
• Liposuction: Lipoplasty, commonly known as liposuction, does not reduce cellulite; however, some surgeons have reported performing a technique of cellulite lysing (breaking up) using a liposuction cannula (hollow tube powered by gas or electricity) that features a smooth, round-tipped tunneling rod inserted in a hollow casing with a sharp, V-pronged cutting edge. The tunneling rod assures passage under the skin to the area to be broken up, while the curette fork (loop shaped surgical instrument) extends at the tip to sever only the dimple-causing connective tissue system.
• Fat Injections: Autologous fat harvested from donor sites in the abdomen and flank areas may fill in depressions. However, the results of fat injections often are not permanent.
• Lower Body Lift: This procedure evolved from one called "Cellulite Lift." The technique was designed to replace the thigh/buttock lift, a procedure that works well for some patients but may produce scars that are visible when wearing a bathing suit. The lower body lift requires an incision around the entire circumference of the abdominal area, so that excess skin can be removed and the entire flank, thigh and buttocks areas can be lifted. The incision can usually be placed discreetly within standard or high-cut bikini lines. The result of the procedure is tightening of the back, flank and abdominal tissues, and reduction in the appearance of cellulite in the lifted areas. The lower body lift is a major surgical procedure that requires a lengthy recovery and leaves an extensive, though well-positioned, scar. For this reason, it requires especially careful patient selection and, as with all cosmetic surgery, the patient's full informed consent.
• Endermologie: Mechanical roller massage therapy has been proposed as a treatment for cellulite and as an adjunct to liposuction. Treatments may produce temporary improvement in the appearance of cellulite, but long-term results of this noninvasive therapy have not been established, either clinically or scientifically. According to a 2001 study published in Aesthetic Surgery Journal, ASAPS' peer-reviewed publication, Endermologie in and of itself has not been found to be beneficial for producing long-term and lasting clinical results.
• Mesotherapy: Small amounts of homeopathic medicine are injected immediately beneath the surface of the skin to break down the cellulite and to improve circulation and lymphatic and venous drainage. Currently, there are no peer-reviewed articles or scientific studies to back up claims that mesotherapy improves the appearance of cellulite.
• Herbal and dietary supplements: Some makers of herbal and dietary supplements claim to cure what they say are the internal causes of cellulite, such as poor circulation, slow metabolism, and bloating. Since supplements are not regulated by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) unless they are marketed as a cure for a disease or a medical condition, some companies market supplements with claims that are unsubstantiated by scientific studies. Until reliable data is provided concerning any herbal or dietary supplement, consumers should be skeptical of claims and should also be aware that many such supplements carry risks.
• Creams and lotions: "Miracle" creams and lotions are frequently marketed with claims of diminishing the unsightly dimpling of cellulite. These topical "cures" contain a variety of active ingredients including, but not limited, to: caffeine, green tea, plant extracts, retinol, aminophylline (an asthma drug), and the antioxidant DMAE. While creams may mask cellulite temporarily by hydrating and swelling the skin, there is no science to back up their long-term efficacy.
Conclusion: Although some treatments may provide temporary improvement in the dimpled appearance of cellulite, to date there is no proven, permanent "cure" for cellulite.
The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), is recognized as the world's leading organization devoted entirely to aesthetic plastic surgery and cosmetic medicine of the face and body. ASAPS is comprised of over 2,600 Plastic Surgeons; Active Members are certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (USA) or by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada and have extensive training in the complete spectrum of surgical and nonsurgical aesthetic procedures. International Active Members are certified by equivalent boards of their respective countries. All members worldwide adhere to a strict Code of Ethics and must meet stringent membership requirements.

Lager is king of beer in Columbus. Take that, cider.
The Columbus Dispatch - October 25, 2013 02:35 PM
Lager is the king of beer in Columbus, according to a market study by Restaurant Sciences LLC.
In fact, consumers who bought beer in restaurants, bars, nightclubs and other foodservice venues in the city preferred lagers even more than their Midwest brethren, according to the food and beverage research firm.
"The market preference for lager (in Columbus) is 82.5 percent, while ale comes in at 15.8 percent," said Jen Kaye, a spokesperson for the Newton, Mass., research firm, in an email. Columbusites' preference for lager is well above lager's average preference in the Midwest at 70.85 percent, Kaye said. Only 1.7 percent of consumers in the same settings preferred cider.
Nationwide on-premise lager sales were down 7 percent in the third quarter, ended Sept. 30, from a year ago, Restaurant Sciences reported. Ale sales were up slightly, rising 2 percent, while cider showed significant growth -- 39 percent, from the year-ago quarter.
"Cider sales continue to gain ground against lager sales" in the third quarter, "although they remain a small percentage of on-premise sales," said Chuck Ellis, CEO and president of Restaurant Sciences, in a statement. "Regionally... cider sales were stronger in the Midwest and Northeast, while ale sales were stronger in the West, and lager was preferred in the Southwest and Southeast."
Restaurant Sciences analyzed more than 16 million guest checks to come up with its third-quarter data.

A century ago Neapolitan pizza was the Mcdonald's of the world. They used cheap (local) ingredients, cooked them as fast and as simply as they could, and pumped them out to the streets for the workingman's meal.
Tom,I have long theorized that the starting point for what was to become the Neapolitan style of pizza was the realization that the local grains produced rather weak flours that required a very hot oven in order to produce a crust with decent coloration. So, they used indigenous materials to make ovens that could deliver the necessary heat. Once they found that they could make some pretty good pizzas, they perhaps discovered that there was a practical limit as to what they could put on the pizzas that would fully bake in the short bake times that were used to bake the pizzas. So, simplicity flowed from the short bake times. Peter

My 10 year old daughter has a soy intolerance, what then? She also can't eat gluten, pineapple, peanuts or bananas. HELP!!
How does one find the time to cook these recipes. Is there a less time consuming method to transition?
For those who are hypothyroid, I would suggest talking to a nutritionist who is very educated about thyroid issues. I was like you and thought I should stay away from soy and other healthy options. Depending on your level of thyroid function it most likely won't make a difference. I basically have no thyroid function and my nutritionist told me to load up on soy and flax seed. 2 things I was told to avoid at all cost. The result? Lost weight, lowered my cholesterol and my labs are just as good as before. My levels are actually more stable now than anytime in the past when I avoided soy.
Please see an endocrinologist or nutritionist to see what is best for your individual situation.
Peter: You should look into reading Alicia Silverstone's book 'The Kind Diet', which focuses on a macrobiotic vegan diet. Her book is filled with delicious and healthy recipes. You can also check out her blog: http://www.thekindlife.com/ Good luck!
I used to be macrobiotic and loved it. I know there is a difference, for instance some fish and unfertilized eggs are allowed, but everything was organic. Is there much difference between the two disciplines?
I'm interested in taking the 30 day challenge but my family isn't going to be as open to the challenge. I have a 4 year old who has since growing teeth loved chicken. Any child friendly dishes or ideas? Are there any good educational web sites pertaining to vegans?
In response to Janis – fortunately you are at a point where you can do something about high cholesterol and high blood pressure. I can tell you what has worked for me and you can use or not use what works for you. I am 63 years old, and happy to say that when age comes up most people think I am in my forties. I have been vegetarian for 31 years (I occasionally ate a little fish, and vegan for the last 7 years. My cholesterol is perfect, my blood pressure is perfect, and I stay at 126 lbs. I think the best thing you could to avoid going on meds is to adopt an exercise program, in addition to a new diet. I walk 4 miles a day, 6 days a week, and lift weights 3 days a week. In addition to avoiding animal products, embracing an ORGANIC whole food diet is equally important. By eating organically you not only help yourself, but also the environment, i.e. air, the ground water, the oceans, wildlife, and the farm workers.
As far as my diet is concerned I avoid items like white flour, white rice, white sugar and fried foods, as they are nutritionally void, and not healthy for you. I eat a vast array of vegetables, both cooked and raw, whole grains, nuts and seeds, olive oil, and soy products like miso, tempeh, and tofu. I stay away from most alternative non-meat products because they are highly processed. Once in a while I use Tofurky products as they are made from soybeans, rather than TVP. The Field Roast products are a tasty product line, but they use a lot of mushrooms, and mushrooms are heavily sprayed, and Field Roast does not use organic ingredients in their products. I make my own seitan when a recipe calls for a meat like substance. My bread intake is limited to Food For life, they make the Ezekiel bread which is made from sprouted grains, no flour. Trader Joe's is a good source for many organic products at a reasonable price.
A good book to refer to is the Vegan Sourcebook by Joanne Stepaniak, M.S.ED. Although, I have to say that the absolute best book on healthy foods that I have read is Life Over Cancer by Keith Block. I read this book because a friend of mine has cancer, and I was hoping to gain some knowledge on the subject. As it turns out the diet Dr. Block recommends is so very similar to the diet my husband and I have come up with over the years.
I hope this helps. I know this is a lot of information to take in, but with time you will see that it becomes second nature, and you will find yourself thinking, "how did I ever eat that other junk".
Muffin – I too am hypothyroid. I have been a vegan for over 2 years, vegetarian for 5 years prior to that. I am aware of the soy issue for us and I only consume fermented soy products like Bragg's Amino Acids and tempeh which I love and use in many dishes. It's the unfermented soy that we should avoid. As for your love of sausage – you must try Field Roast sausage links. They are absolutely delicious! Three flavors – apple sage, Italian and Mexican chorizo. Made with items such as apples, eggplant, mushrooms, oats and yummy spices for great flavor. They can be crumbled and sautéed with olive oil and are a wonderful accompaniment to vegan French toast, pancakes or scrambled tempeh. Also great in pasta dishes. I've used the sausage in casseroles that we've taken to brunch/pot luck's and people can't believe its vegan sausage! http://www.fieldroast.com/
I am commited to treating animals ethicaly. I refuse to buy meat from a graocery store,& i only buy milk from local farms. I still eat eggs, but that's because i get them from my own chickens.I am not commited to a vegan diet becasue i think dairy can be consumed without harming animals If bought from local farmers, or rasied yourself. I am commited to trying a vegitarian diet for 30 days. Not sure how it will go as i LOVE maple breakfast sausage. It's the one thing i can't imagine living without. I personally don't get the whole Vegan idea. I also have hypoactive thyroid and i am not supose to eat soy products, so i think it might be a little more challenging for me. Also, having fresh veggies on hand can get expensive and time consuming as they go bad fast. Any tips for dealing with this problem?
Having just had my annual physical I was awakened to the fact I need to do something now to help my body and also the earth. I am 55 and showing signs of high cholesteral and High blood pressure. My doctor has warned me that if I don't change my life style I will be on meds for those things soon. I have tried mock meats before, but am worried about the high salt content in them. Any sugesstions for those watching their blood pressure?
I've never tried the meat-flavored foods. I decided to go vegetarian because I think we abuse animals and that we were never meant to eat them. My mother is all for not eating red meat but still eats chicken, and it's hard for me to live in a house where the people I cook for are completely addicted to surviving off of death. Meat-like products help me trick them. 🙂
If having faux meat products helps more people become vegan, isn't that preferable? Not everyone will committ to a plant based diet, but at least simulated meat products means more people not killing animals to eat!
I am a newbie vegetarian and am loving the new life I am leading. However, I was a meat-eater for 32 years of my life. Feras, it is a huge transition for ex-meat eaters as myself. When you have something for SO long it takes time for your body to adjust to not having meat and meat flavored foods anymore. The "faux" beef, sausage, chicken etc. help us to transition. They aren't unethical they just help. So be patient with those of us who haven't been blessed as you have to the totally vegan diet preference yet 🙂
I agree with Feras.
I am now fully vegan and I don't use any fake meat products or flavours, I have learned to enjoy my plant based diet for its natural flavours.
Having said that I can understand why some people would find it easier to be vegan/vegetarian if they can have something that tastes like meat or dairy products…
Better to have fake meat than the real thing…
Thank you for posting this recipe, as a "newie" vegetarian i like to find recipes that are like "normal" food. =)
Hi Feras, thanks for your comment! There is nothing unethical about eating delicious foods. 🙂 The purpose of this guide is to show people that they can still enjoy the flavors they love, without harming any animals. All of the items in this list are vegan. YUM!
Who are we fooling? Your recipies are full of animal flavored foods which are unethical!

Regular Price: $89.00

Availability:Usually ships in 2-3 business days
Like all PlaSmart products, the PlasmaCar is built to last: it's made from state-of-the-art, high-quality ABS plastics, rugged and durable for kids on the go. It's deceptively simple, too, both to look at and to operate. It sports six wheels, a seat, footrests, and a steering wheel. That's it. There are no pedals. No gears. And best of all-batteries are not required.
The PlasmaCar comes in variety of colors like blue, green, purple, pink, and red, guaranteed to fit any active kid's color-scheme. Kids will like its looks because it's vivid, sleek and aerodynamic, just like a race car. They'll love how fast it can go, and will delight in racing PlasmaCars with their friends (with adult supervision, of course).
Here's how it works: To propel the PlasmaCar, you rotate the steering wheel continuously from left to right. It also works in reverse. To zoom backwards, just switch the set of four front wheels around so that the larger ones are closest to the front of the car. To stop your PlasmaCar, just cease rotating the steering wheel and, when the car slows, put your feet on the ground to bring it to a full stop-easy as pie. Think of it as a Segway for kids. The PlasmaCar can go an exhilarating but kid-safe 2.8 meters per second; that's over 10 km/h. Kids feel the need for speed-and this toy will give them exactly what they need!
It's like magic, but you don't need to be a magician to get it to work. The PlasmaCar is a mechanical marvel that makes use of that most inexhaustible of energy sources, kid-power, by harnessing the natural forces of inertia, centrifugal force, gravity, and friction. It's so easy to operate; all it needs is a driver and a smooth, flat surface.
The PlasmaCar is adult-friendly, too. For starters, it doesn't require an expensive power source that needs constant replacement. No batteries, no power-cells, no liquid fuel-just the occasional cookie or two. It's quiet too-the only sound you'll hear is the sound of its wheels. It provides kids with plenty of exercise, more so than most toys. And the PlasmaCar is engineered to be absolutely safe when used appropriately. It's been extensively tested, and meets or exceeds all significant international safety standards, including the following:
American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) F936:96a
European Toy Safety Standard
EN71 Part 1: 1998 - Mechanical and physical properties
EN71 Part 2: 1993 - Flammability
EN71 Part 3: 1994 / A1:200 - Specification for migration of certain Elements
The PlasmaCar can handle a load of 100 kg (220 lbs) on a smooth, flat surface, and 55 kg (120 lbs) on a rough, flat surface.
For the kids, the PlasmaCar is pure energy and pure fun. For the folks, it's safe, inexpensive, and quiet. Don't just take our word for it: the PlasmaCar has garnered global acclamation, including the 2001 Gold Medal at the International Patent Fair in Hong Kong.

Skip to comments.Olin Announces Fourth Quarter Earnings (makes Winchester ammo)
Posted on 01/28/2013 5:40:31 PM PST by Red in Blue PA
CLAYTON, Mo., Jan. 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Olin Corporation (OLN) announced today that its fourth quarter 2012 net income was $34.6 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, which compares to $18.7 million, or $0.23 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2011. Sales in the fourth quarter of 2012 were $587.6 million, compared to $445.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2011. Joseph D. Rupp, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer said, "During 2012, Olin achieved $373 million of adjusted EBITDA, which is the highest in the history of the company. The record EBITDA was driven by strong results in the Winchester business, improved contributions from bleach and hydrochloric acid in the Chlor Alkali business, and contributions from the KA Steel Chemical Distribution business we acquired in August. As Olin enters 2013, we are optimistic that we can generate adjusted EBITDA in the range of $410 million to $440 million."
Winchester fourth quarter 2012 sales were $155.8 million compared to $122.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2011. The increase in fourth quarter 2012 sales compared to the fourth quarter of 2011 reflects increased shipments to commercial, military and law enforcement customers. Winchester's fourth quarter 2012 segment earnings were $16.5 million compared to $0.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2011. The increase in segment earnings reflects the impact of higher volumes and improved pricing, which more than offset higher manufacturing and other costs. Winchester's fourth quarter segment earnings included the $3.0 million favorable settlement of a property tax dispute.

They also pay a 3.4% dividend while you watch the stock rise.
What other types of customers are there for ammo?
Oddly ATK Alliant Technologies is down
Terrorists and drug cartels, but Olin has to keep them on the down low.
And I helped!
You have the feds ordering those 2Billion of
Patriot killer hollow point catridges.
And none of those pesky teacher's retirement funds competing for those shares.
Sounds like an old,old SHAKE AND BAKE commercial.
But you are correct.
I'll buy a few shares if you will send me a few boxes of .22 LR.
Buy RGR before the next run. No more than 5-8% of your portfolio in one stock.
*snort*. And every station signed off at midnight with some rendition of "The Star Spangled Banner".
Wish I could find some Winchester Q3131 at pre-panic prices.
"Ill buy a few shares if you will send me a few boxes of .22 LR."
Ditto! And the good stuff, not that rat-shot that's available today!
"*snort*. And every station signed off at midnight with some rendition of "The Star Spangled Banner"."
And they did that because everybody and their brother was in bed asleep in order to be ready for WORK the next day.
My how times have changed.
None to be had where I live either. The 22 will be about the only cartridge available to hunt with when the bottom falls out.
They didnt even have stations whe I was a kid. Radio did sign off at midnight too though. :)
I use Winchester Silvertips. In case of werewolves.
Thank you Obayma-layma-ding-dong.
Can't find it on YouTube, but yup, Shake-n-Bake commercial tagline from the 70s.
Elmer Fudd
A little over a year ago Olin moved one of their ammo making factories OUT OF ILLINOIS after Governor Potato-Head (his real name, honest) raised taxes 66%.
It was in the southern part of the state and ONLY job around for miles and miles and miles. Unless you count 'crooked politician', that is :-)
[98% sure it was Olin, but other Firearm Industry Co's fled IL too.]
I backordered two boxes of Federal 525's .22 LR three weeks ago and they arrived yesterday. So, they are still making them. The problem is that people are buying them off of the truck at first light.
***The problem is that people are buying them off of the truck at first light.***
I remember back in the 1950s and 60s when people were so poor they did not have money to buy a box of ammo.
The hardware stores would break up a box and you could buy 3-4 rounds for hunting season.
There was no cheap ammo back then. I bought a box of .22 shorts for 45 cents in 1962 for my new $9.99 single shot Stevens rifle. I was 15 at the time.
I own some rural land out in East Texas and on most weekends, it sounds like WW III. Lately, the guns have grown silent as the empty shelves are starting to alarm people.
Winchester is .40 is $40/box at the local store. Just the regular target stuff.
I could find a lot of Nine mil, but at 50 cents a pop and 223 was a dollar.
I was tempted to buy a Ruger Mini Mag Stainless with the military laser. Loved that bolt sliding like the old M1 and M1 carbine we used in the military 60 years ago.
What they're saying is that demand is up across all the market segments-—which is true from other sources as well. And you probly thot the military would buy a little less ammo now that Obamuzzie is winding down his favorite war? But it's always training and training always takes way more ammo than combat.

Gina Soucheray has donated blood and platelets through the Red Cross for more than 30 years. Even so, when the need for blood hit home, her eyes were opened anew to the lifesaving power of blood donations.
"My mother fell in the nursing home and needed surgery requiring two transfusions," Soucheray said. "I was in the room when nurses brought in the blood. When they read the donor ID number, it left a lasting impression with me. I truly connected the ring of donation at that point. It made me realize how important each donation is. I went home that night and emailed every contact in my address book urging them to donate."
You too can spread the word about the importance of blood and platelet donation, and make an appointment to donate today.
