Infrastructure Projects
Statements By Members
10:55 a.m.
Ted Menzies Macleod, AB
Mr. Speaker, I would like to share information about some of this government's investments in the riding of Macleod.
Through the economic action plan, numerous projects were funded, which benefit communities both now and into the future.
The community of Turner Valley received funding for a much needed inter-municipal library. The town of Okotoks received funding for a very important bridge, which opens up a key transportation and truck route, facilitating economic growth.
Fiscal stimulus was provided to improve access and availability for recreational activities, including 27 kilometeres of multi-use trails in the Crowsnest Pass. Pincher Creek received funding for a multi-purpose solar project, which will reduce the carbon footprint by 78 tonnes.
These projects represent valuable investments made by this government, which will help grow the economy, create jobs and benefit the residents of the Macleod riding.

Gurbax Malhi Bramalea—Gore—Malton, ON
Mr. Speaker, since 2006 the refusal rate for temporary resident visa applicants wishing to come to Canada as members of the visitor class has been too high.
Every single week I hear from constituents whose close relatives and friends are denied entry to our country for important events such as weddings and funerals, even when they had previously been welcomed to Canada numerous times under the previous government.
Therefore, many of my constituents are advocating for a visa bond system, so that immigration officers could give applicants or sponsors the chance to provide a financial guarantee in borderline visitor visa cases. This would help many applicants visit Canada to share in important milestones with family and friends. My constituents would like the government to implement this bond system as soon as possible.
The government claims to champion family values, yet in too many of these cases, no compassion or concern is shown.
Region of Lanaudière
Statements By Members
11 a.m.
Guy André Berthier—Maskinongé, QC
Mr. Speaker, I would like to announce that a book titled Contes, légendes et récits de Lanaudière will be launched tomorrow in La Visitation-de-l'Île-Dupas. This is a significant event because this book brings together, for the first time, documents showing how men and women over the centuries have viewed the region and how these reflections have shaped the region's birth and growth.
The public is invited to an evening that will include a unique multimedia show in which the characters from these tales, legends and stories of the Lanaudière region will meet the audience and celebrate their pride in being part of this region.
Congratulations to the organizing committee, which includes Réjean Olivier, Réal Chevrette, Cajetan Larochelle and Gérard Héroux. We thank them for helping share this legacy that reveals what Lanaudière was and is.
John Rodriguez
Statements By Members
11 a.m.
Claude Gravelle Nickel Belt, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to John Rodriguez, one of the most colourful political figures this House and northern Ontario have ever seen.
John served as MP for Nickel Belt from 1971 to 1980 and from 1984 to 1993 and as mayor of Greater Sudbury from 2006 to 2010. John also held various occupations, but most notably those of teacher and principal.
An immigrant from Guyana, John made Canada his home in 1956, embracing all that Canada has to offer and embodying what our dynamic, multicultural society is all about.
Watching John interact with youth is truly inspiring. His capacity to communicate, motivate and spur their imagination is legendary.
John is an inspiration to me as well. His dedication to public service and to his beloved community of communities, that is, Greater Sudbury, has garnered him respect from all levels of government and all political parties.
On behalf of the NDP, I extend a heartfelt thanks for all John has done and continues to do. I know that my friend's work is not yet done.
Veterans Affairs
Statements By Members
October 29th, 2010 / 11 a.m.
Daryl Kramp Prince Edward—Hastings, ON
Mr. Speaker, in Belleville I was honoured to preside over the unveiling of the new poppy coin in honour of our veterans.
However, do hon. members know the story of the old veteran on the $10 bill? If one looks at the back right-hand side of the Canadian $10 bill, one will see an old veteran standing at attention near the Ottawa war memorial.
That he managed to survive to 90 years of age is rather remarkable. When he fought in the second world war he faced the German blitzkrieg. He was hit by shrapnel while treating a wounded comrade. En route to hospital his ambulance came under fire from a tank. When he was evacuated from Dunkirk two of his sister ships were sunk.
When he recovered, he was sent to allied campaigns in North Africa and Italy. En route his ship was chased by the battleship Bismarck. In North Africa he served against the Desert Fox, Rommel.
One day out of the blue he received a call from a government official, asking him to go downtown for a photo op. He was not told what the photo was for or why they chose him. "He had no idea he would be on the bill", his daughter said.
In honour of all veterans, the name of this veteran on the $10 bill is Robert Metcalfe. So now hon. members and all veterans know the rest of the story.
Ferry Services
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Lawrence MacAulay Cardigan, PE
Mr. Speaker, I rise in this House today to urge the Government of Canada to provide funding to the ferry service between Wood Islands and Caribou with a multi-year contract, for a minimum of five years, providing funding including inflation costs, to ensure the same level of service is maintained.
The Wood Islands to Caribou ferry is a vital service to the tourism, farming, fishing and business interests in the Cardigan riding, Pictou County, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island in general. Providing funding for a service any less than what has been provided at the present time spells a slow death.
I only have to remind the House of the railroad on Prince Edward Island. Make the ferry service so inconvenient that people cannot use it, and it will go the way of the railroad.
I ask the government to stop studying the issue and make a positive decision that will affect the travellers in eastern Prince Edward Island and Pictou County, Nova Scotia.

Larry Miller Bruce—Grey—Owen Sound, ON
Mr. Speaker, on October 13, I had the privilege of attending the 10th annual Honouring Our Local Veterans celebration in my riding of Bruce—Grey—Owen Sound.
The Billy Bishop museum and Branch 6 of the Royal Canadian Legion host this great event every year. It is a chance to recognize the veterans from Bruce and Grey counties who have served Canada in times of both war and peace.
Since 2001, the Billy Bishop museum has honoured more than 70 local veterans. This year we added 10 more veterans to that remarkable list of men and women.
Attending an event like this is very humbling. It reminds me of what our veterans have sacrificed for Canada. It reminds me of their bravery and love for our great country. It also reminds me that Remembrance Day is not the only day Canadians can show their appreciation for veterans.
When it comes to our veterans, we should always remember, reflect and respect.
On November 11, I encourage all Canadians to take some time out of their day, attend a Remembrance Day ceremony in their community and pay tribute to our great men and women in uniform.
Longueuil's Environmental Information Centre
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Jean Dorion Longueuil—Pierre-Boucher, QC
Mr. Speaker, the Centre d'information sur l'Environnement de Longueuil, or CIEL, was founded in 1995 and so is celebrating its 15th anniversary.
CIEL's mission is to promote a healthy and sound ecological environment in Longueuil and it is well-known for its numerous public awareness projects. A variety of lobbying tactics have been used to promote sustainable development activity in many areas. Particularly noteworthy were the implementation and management of recycling in the schools, the adoption of a pesticide bylaw by the City of Longueuil and the conservation of the Midland or striped chorus frog in Vieux-Longueuil's ponds.
On behalf of the community in Longueuil—Pierre-Boucher, I offer my heartfelt congratulations to the Centre d'information sur l'Environnement de Longueuil and its president, Geneviève Audet. Her dedicated team makes it possible for the people of Longueuil to dream of growing up in a cleaner and greener environment. Long live the CIEL.
Aerospace Industry
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
James Bezan Selkirk—Interlake, MB
Mr. Speaker, this morning in Thompson, the Minister of State for Western Economic Diversification took part in the grand opening of EnviroTREC, a new state-of-the-art cold weather testing facility for jet engines.
A new joint venture between Rolls-Royce and Pratt & Whitney, EnviroTREC will be a centre for cold weather certification for engines from around the world. The facility will also conduct research in areas ranging from noise and emissions reduction to alternative fuels and lubricants.
The centre will not only help improve the safety of air travel around the world but will also create high-quality jobs and educational opportunities.
This is just another example of how our Conservative government is delivering for northern Manitobans. While the opposition plays games with our aerospace industry, we are helping that industry create even more jobs. This is the kind of leadership northern Manitobans deserve.
Italian Catholic Mission of Annunziata
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Marlene Jennings Notre-Dame-de-Grâce—Lachine, QC
Mr. Speaker, I am very proud to rise here today to congratulate the Italian Catholic Mission of Annunziata on the opening of its new church in Lachine.
Since 1963, the church operating out of a former fire station has offered programs to local residents of all ethnicities. These programs include a daycare centre, French language courses, information sessions for new immigrants and sports and cultural activities for youth.
[Member spoke in Italian and provided the following translation:]
I am pleased to congratulate the Annunziata Catholic Italian Mission on this historic occasion.
I thank the Italian community of Lachine for all of its solidarity.
I also wish to extend my best wishes to fathers Joseph Fugolo and William Penn and all members of the parish for many years to come at this new location.
The Economy
Statements By Members
11:10 a.m.
Tilly O'Neill-Gordon Miramichi, NB
Mr. Speaker, the difference between our Conservative government and the Liberal-Bloc-NDP coalition is stark.
While we are focused on the economy and jobs, the coalition is focused on reckless new spending and tax hikes. We have seen more than 420,000 jobs created since July 2009. The IMF and the OECD project Canada will lead the G7 in growth over 2010-11.
Yesterday, the IMF praised "...Canada's standing as the strongest position in the G7".
Today, Statistics Canada reported Canada's economy grew again in August for the 11th time in the last 12 months. Clearly, we are getting the job done.
On the other hand, the coalition's reckless spending and tax hikes would put Canada in a permanent deficit and destroy Canada's economic advantage. Indeed, according to experts, its tax hikes would kill almost 400,000 jobs.
Tax hikes on families and killing Canadian jobs is the coalition plan, and it is the wrong plan.
Diabetes Awareness
Statements By Members
11:10 a.m.
John Rafferty Thunder Bay—Rainy River, ON
Mr. Speaker, November is Diabetes Awareness Month and November 14 is World Diabetes Day.
We must take this opportunity to remind ourselves that the financial pressure faced by those living with diabetes is tremendous and that the costs are a huge burden on both household budgets and our national economy.
The Canadian Diabetes Association suggests that the federal government undertake four specific policies that would alleviate these substantial costs: expand the disability tax credit to include Canadians living with diabetes; increase federal funding to support diabetes programs and services; increase funding for diabetes-related research; and increase the charitable tax credit.
These small changes would make a big difference in the lives of people living with diabetes. I hope the government will join me and my New Democrat colleagues in commemorating national Diabetes Awareness Month and World Diabetes Day and will implement these simple, effective and worthwhile initiatives.
Canada's Economic Action Plan
Statements By Members
11:10 a.m.
Jacques Gourde Lotbinière—Chutes-de-la-Chaudière, QC
Mr. Speaker, in the report released recently by the Auditor General, she confirmed that we have accomplished our goal and that our government acted quickly and effectively by developing and implementing our economic action plan.
In order to better protect Canadian families and workers from the effects of the worst global recession in generations, the Conservative government implemented the economic action plan. Investing money and getting shovels in the ground as quickly and efficiently as possible was crucial in order to create jobs and stimulate economic growth as soon as possible.
We welcome this positive report on our government's performance. We must bear in mind, however, that the economic recovery remains fragile. That is why we will continue to focus on creating jobs and helping families, as we continue to deliver on Canada's economic action plan.
Sexual Violence Against Women in Armed Conflict
Statements By Members
11:10 a.m.
Luc Malo Verchères—Les Patriotes, QC
Mr. Speaker, tomorrow, we are marking the 10th anniversary of UN Security Council Resolution 1325, which calls for an end to sexual violence against women in armed conflict and for a decision-making role for women in peace processes.
Despite efforts by the international community, 10 years later, women are still victims of sexual violence in armed conflict. Rape is a destructive weapon of war that ruins the lives of thousands of women. Unfortunately, those responsible for rape often are not brought to justice.
It is important to promote and support the active, meaningful participation of women at all levels of decision-making. The Canadian government must support NGOs and encourage them to promote women's rights, as resolution 1325 calls for.
In closing, I would like to commend the courage of the Congolese women, headed by Olive Lembe Kabila, the President's wife, who demonstrated on October 17 in eastern Congo to denounce the sexual violence committed against them.
Unison Health and Community Services
Statements By Members
11:10 a.m.
Alan Tonks York South—Weston, ON
Mr. Speaker, in York South—Weston, York Community Services, now called Unison Health and Community Services, has been serving citizens for decades and once again has expanded its outreach to our most vulnerable residents.
A brand new satellite community health centre and hub of agencies will be offering health counselling and employment and community programs for youth, young families, seniors, unemployed and newcomers to Canada.
The hub will also include a community kitchen and rooms available to local organizations, residents associations and self-help groups. It will also provide doctors, nurse practitioners, health promoters and social workers offering a full range of health care.
The hub is looking forward to working closely with community residents to address the pressing needs in the Mount Dennis, Weston and Trethewey neighbourhoods.
I know that members of the House will join with me in saluting Unison, with the support of all three levels of government, for providing community-based and holistic services to our community.

I have really enjoyed all of the other oolongs I've tried so far. I really liked the Jasmine #12 (my favorite), and I also enjoyed the Ooooh Darjeeling, as well as the Oolong #40.
But I seem to be having some kind of issue with the Ti Kuan Yin. I mean, this is supposed to be the best of the best oolong, right? And it's supposedly highly oxidized. So I think maybe I'm doing something wrong.
At this point, I would describe the taste of the TKY like this:
If I had to define the word "green" as a color, this would be it. It tastes like grass, spinach, asparagus, and some other vegetables that I can't quite define.
That was the result I got following the brewing directions that Adagio gave (5 minutes at 212 degrees). I initially brewed it in a glass mug (YoYo). After talking to someone on chat, I tried it in a ceramic mug with no improvement.
I then tried brewing twice as much tea for 1 minute. This still resulted in a grassy/vegetal taste (not exactly as described above, but still pretty vegetal).
Is it supposed to taste like this? If not, what am I doing wrong?
Even the dry leaves smell pretty grassy... did I get a mislabeled tin or something?

For over a century, we've set aside a day to honor the contributions of workers. The cookouts, shopping sales, and parades are end of summer American rituals. But the significance of Labor Day -- advocating for the dignity of work -- is, and always will be an American value.
Promoting labor rights and improving working conditions is a smart economic investment -- essential to driving growth, ensuring its benefits are broadly shared, and delivering decent jobs for the American people.
Protecting the dignity of workers everywhere is also the right investment. The goal is to create not just more growth, but better growth. That means ensuring all workers enjoy certain universal labor rights, including the freedom to associate and effective recognition of the right to collective bargaining, and prohibitions against the worst forms of child labor and forced labor, and employment discrimination.
Much of the world is still experiencing high unemployment, a lack of opportunities for youths, discrimination towards women, disabled persons, and LGBT individuals, and the growth of disenfranchised migrant workers and refugees. This exacerbates already volatile situations in many countries.
By combating the root causes of poverty and helping countries provide a prospect for decent work we can better hope to achieve our foreign policy goals: stability, security, democracy, and prosperity for all. We cannot build a stable, global economy when hundreds of millions of workers and families find themselves on the wrong side of globalization.
Secretary Kerry captured the importance of protecting rights in the global market place in his address at the University of Virginia, where he said:
"I'm here because our lives as Americans are more intertwined than ever before with the lives of people in parts of the world that we may have never visited. In the global challenges of diplomacy, development, economic security, environmental security, you will feel our success or failure just as strongly as those people in those other countries that you'll never meet...it also gives us many more rivals determined to create jobs and opportunities for their own people, a voracious marketplace that sometimes forgets morality and values."
The history of the labor movement in the United States -- and of workers everywhere -- is the story of courageous men and women who persevered and risked their lives to bring dignity to their work.
Today, we celebrate the sacrifices and successes of workers everywhere, and commit to doing everything we can to advance labor rights in the global economy.

Tea people, on the other hand, will love the experience and will hopefully reward us with their business.
After leaving the Adagio Retail Store I don't want people to say "Wow, that was an awesome store", or even "I love Adagio". I want them to say "I love tea and can't wait to get home and drink this stuff!"

October check-in – how is your Crohn's today?
Hello everyone! Hope you are feeling hopeful today. Today's blog's topic is our monthly tag-up to let each other know how we are doing and feeling. I hope that you write in, and I look forward to your comments!
I will start by telling you how I have been doing this month. Awful!! Okay, it is not so bad, but still, I would not mark this month up as being one of the good ones. I have been in a really bad mood about everything lately. I am very tired from all of this hurricane business and just plain tired of everything. We finally got our power back – after two weeks – and moved back into our house (Yay!). We were staying with my in-laws because I had moved over there before the storm and there was really no reason to come back to an un-powered home when my husband finally returned. Plus, since the break-in, I wasn't so excited about being in my un-powered house when a robber decided to come – stupid predators.
We had taken all the food that we could save to my in-law's house but lost most of it. I had a bag of chicken that was half-defrosted. so I cooked it and then froze it for later. It turns out that every time I would eat anything from our freezer it would give me major problems. I couldn't tolerate the canned food too well either. I think that it has too many preservatives. I ate a lot of tuna and had to cook plain rice with vegetables. One good thing from the hurricane is that I lost a lot of weight (down to 107lbs) and now my skinny clothes are big on me. This is one of the few good things. Not a good sign for the Crohn's but still makes me feel good to have my clothes loose.
I, of course, got a sinus infection despite all of my efforts to not get one. When I went to my general doctor he told me he knew that I would eventually walk through his door. We didn't have power so we had the windows open whenever we were in the house, I was doing a lot of yard work, and now its mold season. How could I not get an infection? I get really sick whenever I start the antibiotics too, so that was not fun. I just finished the treatment a couple of days ago but am having sinus problems again. We have been letting our floor dry (even got a dehumidifier) but put our furniture back in the room. Something in there is bothering my sinuses, and I hope that there is no mold under the floor. I think that it is the furniture because I forgot to air them out. Therefore, I am typing in the kitchen instead of the study because I am staying away from the study. I will probably have to go back to the doctor soon.
If you can't tell, I am grumpy – sorry. Sunday we are leaving for our 10-year anniversary cruise, and I don't want to go. At this point, I just feel like it is one more thing I have to make it through. I just want to get my house back in order and fix everything and I know that you probably think that I am crazy (I am!), and I know that I will relax (which I desperately need), but when I get back I will just have so much more to do. I know – who doesn't look forward to their anniversary cruise? I wish that it was postponed until another time. We haven't even calmed down from Hurricane Ike yet. I don't feel like packing or doing the million things that I need to do to make sure that I will make it through the 7-day cruise feeling good. And, it sucks to not be able to eat, as I am sure there will be good food on board but I won't eat it because I don't want to risk feeling bad. My sister tells me that I will feel fine and I probably will be and you will probably read about how fun it was when I write next. I'm just not looking forward to this cruise like I should be. I am just too tired. I am having a hard time counting my blessings but should because I have a lot!

I'm fairly sure it's a tannin sensitivity too, but you may want to try the decaf meathod mentioned above.
It's a pitty you don't like greens. Fewer tannins in greens. Try a light roasted oolong, and see how that suits you.
And a note, it isn't realy a big deal, but it's always bugged me. (a lot of silly little things bug me, so please don't take it the wrong way!!) Tannins are what's in tea, tannic acid is used to tan leather. They aren't quite the same thing, lol.
I wish there was a way to de-tannin tea the way we can de-caff it, but there realy isnt. Good luck!

NIC Digital Graphics Design Class Displays at Bing Crosby Theater
Works from the Digital Graphics Design class at NIC are on display at the Bing Crosby Theater in Spokane. The showing started April 2 and runs through the end month.
All of the works were digitally created. Only computers, sometimes in conjunction with a digital camera, have been used.
Eight students will present 12 pieces in the lobby of the Historic Theater display.
They were given the same theme to work with but had total freedom within it to show their skills as Digital Graphic Designers. "Freedom of Speech" is the topic and is presented with several interpretations. Each one needs to be viewed to truly appreciate the fine work. Even though they are digital creations they range in appearance from pen and ink to cartoon to the use of a digitally enhanced photo, most with some text. .
During the month several thousand people from across the Inland North West will view the display as they attend various presentations there. The events will vary from "The Beauty and the Beast," to a film recently previewed at Coeur d'Alene Film Festival: "From Source to Sea." Symphony concerts and poetry readings will also bring audiences' past the works.
Josh Callihan, one of the students showing at this display, and who has had work on display before at this venue said, "It was very nice to see my work displayed beyond the classroom and receiving feedback from other graphic designers."
Philippe Valle, Graphic Design Instructor said, "This is to take NIC Graphic Design students way beyond the walls of NIC."
This is the forth year the Bing Crosby Theater, formerly the Met, invited the Digital Graphics class to display in its lobby.

Notebook: Marshall's Milestone, Higuain's Injury
The Columbus Dispatch - April 11, 2013 04:07 PM
As I wrote in today's paper, Chad Marshall is the 12th MLS player to reach 20,000 minutes played with one team. But further still, Marshall is only the fourth to never suit up for more than one team – and only the second active player on that list.
"It means a lot," Marshall said of the mark. "Obviously I've been here a long time and I've got to be doing some things right if they want to keep me around that long."
Marshall said he was not aware he was closing in on the number until a teammate showed him an article about it two days before last Saturday's home match against Philadelphia.
"All the guys came up to me in the locker room after the game; the coaches also," he said. "A lot of people on Twitter tweeted me, so that was nice."

Higuain questionable
In today's official game notes, designated player Federico Higuain is listed as questionable for Saturday's game at Montreal with a left calf contusion.
Higuain came off early during Wednesday's training session, but head coach Robert Warzycha said he was just resting. Higuain was not active for the final minutes of today's training when reporters were allowed access.
Against the Union, Higuain had his least impactful game of the season as measured by the Opta chalkboard on MLSsoccer.com. In the team's first four games, Higuain's ratings were 111, 134, 122 and 126, respectively. Last Saturday, his performance registered a 98 and was held without a shot while attempting just one corner kick.
"I think we didn't move the ball quick enough and that's when (Higuain)'s touches suffer and his performance," Warzycha said.
Crew fans have been waiting to see more of defensive midfielder Matias Sanchez, and he saw 14 minutes of action in relief of Danny O'Rourke against the Union. Warzycha said it was too short of an appearance to evaluate his afternoon.
"I think it's very difficult to judge his performance because he only played 15 minutes," the coach said.
Lucky Mkosana, a former Chicago draft pick, is still with the Crew on a trial basis after joining the club last week.
"He has a chance to prove to us who he is," Warzycha said. "We don't have to make a decision in the next day or two. He will probably stay a little bit longer and if not, go somewhere else."
The Crew has a full roster of 30 players, so any decision to add Mkosana would need a corresponding roster move.

OIt is a guards league now. No one runs a two man low post game anymore. It is a game of moevemnt. Bron is far, far more valuable playing outside and driving than standing around like George Mikan waiting for the inlet pass. The game has changed. He gets doubled too much to do the Barkley / dantly butt back in. He has far more skills than that. maybe in 5 seasons when he loses a step changing his game to that of Karl Malone might make sense, but not nopw. He needs to be a more consistent outside shooter and not so streakey. When he's on, he is literally unstoppable. About the last think he needs to work on is a classic 1970's blcoks' game.Therefore, coupling that with, ironically, your personal animus hating in Bron for off the courset reasons, I dissed your take.But I don't have a hate on for you Jesse. Now excuse me while I go off to make fun of Peeker supportying you. ;-)PPS - sorry you took the post so hard. didn't mean it as more than balll breaking and not agreeing with your take. Nothing more.

Is it possible that you deem them to be talented because of James (Hughes) or maybe they're not as talented as you think they are (Mo) or maybe it was actually the talented player's shortcomings and issues that caused them to fall on their face in a given series (Jamison).Yeah, he pounds the ball too much and is whiny, pouting, diva bitch. The guys you named still thrived in that environment until the Celtics series when James truly stood around and then quit.Give us something aside from your unsubstantial one sentence replies that as often as not end in a question. Shake yourself. Or don't. Seriously, it doesn't matter.

He is willing to become a jump shooter at times, is relentless at going to the hole at times, but is almost never a post guy.The few times he has gone to the post for more then a couple possessions in a row he usually would get good looks, but due to never actually playing with his back to the basket, doesn't finish well.Also with the minutes Shaq played, LeBron could have been jump shooter or drive and finish during that time. Oh, but remember how clogged the paint was , maybe just a jump shooter...

Sure if he wanted to improve by not pounding the ball away at the 3pt line, and instead initiating off passes received from the elbow, I'd care less about back to the basket post game. My only point is that when it comes down to an elite defense he can, and has been stopped. She cooks? Now I'm down... :)

GE Aviation, H+S Aviation Expand Engine Overhaul Agreement
GE Aviation is expanding its CT7 Engine Overhaul Subcontract Agreement (EOSA) with Portsmouth, U.K.-based engine repair company H+S Aviation. The expanded agreement calls for H+S to provide repair and overhaul services on all CT7-5A and CT7-9B engines.
The 1900-shaft-horsepower CT7 engine family powers the Saab 340 turboprop aircraft, first entering service in 1983.
"GE Aviation and H+S Aviation have worked together for more than a decade, helping CT7 operators achieve an excellent operational service record," said Paul McElhinney, president and chief executive officer of service operations at GE Aviation. "H+S Aviation's track record on the maintenance, repair and overhaul of these engines makes them an ideal partner moving forward."

Trump signs orders advancing Keystone, Dakota pipelines
Obama's Iran deal
A substantial number of members of Congress, along with several other countries that have been longstanding allies of the U.S., are worried about the so-called "deal" President Barack Obama's administration has announced with Iran.
Far from providing an opening that could prevent Iran from building nuclear weapons, the agreement merely gives Tehran relief from economic sanctions in exchange for what amounts to a handshake promise to slow down its nuclear program.
But Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry seem so desperate to arrest the slide in the president's popularity numbers that they are willing to fight for a raw deal. And, of course, they are not at all reluctant to be dishonest in defending it.
Obama has slammed critics of the proposal, insisting the U.S. "cannot close the door on diplomacy." Many Democrats, as well as Republicans, in the Senate and House of Representatives see the proposal as a sell-out to Iran.
None of them has suggested closing the door on diplomacy. None has argued the U.S. should not be engaged with Iran.
Those with the most to lose if Iran builds a nuclear arsenal, neighbors such as Israel and Saudi Arabia, are extremely cool to the Obama-Kerry proposal.
Among the most troubling aspects of the plan is that it calls for Iran's compliance to be reevaluated in about six months. Presumably, that would be the time when U.S. officials could reimpose sanctions if Tehran is not keeping its end of the bargain.
But six months falls just as campaigning for congressional elections in November 2014 will be heating up. As some observers have noted, that climate would not be one in which Obama would be likely to admit he made a mistake this fall.
On both sides of the political aisle on Capitol Hill, thoughtful lawmakers are discussing another means of "engaging" with Iran: ramping up economic sanctions to put pressure on Tehran to agree to a genuine suspension of its drive to build nuclear weapons. Obama is being dishonest – again – with the American people in claiming opponents of his plan are taking risks with peace.

The Adams Mill Project
I am a proud 2011 graduate of The Art Institute of New York City. I also have two plus years of practical experience gut renovating a 1910 Greek Revival house in the ski resort town of Stowe Vermont (The Adams Mill Project). It was extremely challenging and a labor of love... and an incredible hands on learning experience working on this magnificant property. I was responsible for space planning the entire project along with the selection of all the materials used, the lighting design for the exterior and the interior and for the selection of all of the FF&E. I was also responsible for staging the interior. I am currently living and working as a freelance Interior Designer in New York City.

While most pet owners know that many human foods can be dangerous for your pet to eat, a new report finds some animals in Arizona are getting sick from eating wild mushrooms.
The Associated Press reports that three Flagstaff, Arizona, area veterinary hospitals are reporting an increase in cases of mushroom poisoning in dogs.
A local vet who has treated pets who ingested toxic mushrooms says clinical signs of poisoning include vomiting and diarrhea. However, more serious side effects such as seizures, lethargy, jaundice and slow heart rate, as well as death, are possible.
In fact, the Monterey Herald reports that mushroom poisoning may be more common that many dog lovers realize. Vets say the problem is that it's often hard to diagnose because owners don't see their dog eating the mushrooms.
Officials say pet owners should remove any wild mushrooms from their yards in order to lower the chances of their dogs ingesting them. However, it's important to dig the fungi up without mushing them, as that can spread the spores that will grow more mushrooms. You should also take note of wild mushrooms while walking with or hiking with your dog.
In addition to wild mushrooms, other foods that are dangerous for your dog to eat include avocado, chocolate, caffeine, onion, garlic, grapes, raisins, macadamia nuts, chives, salt, nutmeg, dairy products, alcohol and baked goods.

Stutzman: The lesson learned from Curious George the goat
In fifth grade my brother's pet goat George followed us onto the school bus as we boarded one morning. George was black, had no ears, and his head was shaped like E.T.'s head. He wore a bright orange reflective collar, quite flashy for a goat with no ears.
I climbed up the steps, lugging my backpack full of books and other junk I thought extremely important to take to school. I walked down the aisle looking for an open seat when I started hearing giggles and snickers and classmates shouting "Ba-aa-aa! Ba-aa-aa!" I froze, horrified, and turned around to see George shuffling behind me frantically looking around and sniffing the sleeves of student's coats. As quickly as I could I scooted him back off the bus and gave him a gentle kick to head him back up the driveway to the barn.
When I got back on the bus I tried not to make eye contact. I had just entered my awkward pre-teen years and the last thing I needed was a goat getting on the bus with me. It was years before my classmates stopped teasing me about the incident.
That would not be the last time George interfered with my schooling. One day I was sitting on a rock outside doing some homework. George walked up behind me, peered around my shoulder, and quickly took a bite of my notebook paper. It was math so I wasn't really too broken up about the whole thing. I drew a little arrow pointing to the torn corner and wrote a note that said, "goat ate my homework." I don't know if the teacher believed me but when you grow up on a farm there are a lot of strange things that happen and you don't get phased after a while. Like the time I came home to find a cow had fallen in the well casing, and in the process of trying to pull it out my Grandpa dropped the bucket arm of the tractor on my Dad's head. But that's a story for a different day.
Even though George was a constant source of embarrassment for a young girl trying to fit in he did teach me a valuable lesson in curiosity. George was very curious. I don't know if that is why my brother named him George, but it was fitting. He was always getting into things. He was a goat so obviously he wasn't aware of social mores and norms. He just saw something interesting and ran for it. What is this big yellow thing on wheels? Hmmm. I think I'll check it out. What is this flat white thing this scrawny human keeps writing on? I wonder if it tastes like oats? No. It does not taste like oats.
Once George ran away in a terrible snow storm and we couldn't find him for three days. He probably saw a bird or something else and just trotted off to investigate. We feared the worst and accepted the fact he may have met his demise with wild coyotes. Then, my Uncle Kevin thought he saw something out of the corner of his eye while driving with his friend down a back country road near our house. He stopped and opened the door. He yelled, "Hey! Hey George! Is that you!?" George perked up (I can't say he perked up his ears because he didn't have any), and bolted toward the car, jumped over the ditch, and hopped over my Uncle into the vehicle; no questions asked.
George had no fear and when he had questions he pushed forward until he found answers. This lesson has served me well over the years. Many times people are afraid to ask questions and investigate. There is a fear that asking questions may reveal that you aren't as smart as everyone else. Asking questions may upset people around you. Asking questions may give people the impression that you're questioning their authority.
At the end of the day, the only thing we have that people cannot take away from us are the resources we hold in our brain. We stop growing intellectually when we stop asking questions. Remaining curious about life and the world around us assures that we always add to our development and grow as a person and as a community. Just because someone presents something as fact doesn't mean you need to accept it as the all-ending truth. If you see something that looks interesting it's okay to check it out. You're allowed to ask questions.
I don't know if I've really gotten over the embarrassment George caused me growing up. Perhaps I should have sought some therapy. But one thing is for sure, I will never forget his lesson of bold curiosity.

16 A-List Bedrooms
From her very first glimpse of the Atlas Mountains through an airplane window, Philomena Merckoll knew she was going to fall in love with Morocco. She and her mother discovered the country together in 2005 and were instantly seduced by the energy and atmosphere of Marrakech. Soon afterward, she decided to look for a home there. Riad Mena, on the outskirts of the medina, is the result. Today, after several years of restoration work and a good deal of imagination, the place blends traditional elements and modern touches into one cohesive and elegant whole.
The inner courtyard of Philomena Merckoll's house in Marrakech; the doors and windows are painted in a custom green-gray.
"I loved Morocco right away," says Merckoll, who grew up in London before studying in Dublin, Berlin, Paris, and New York, and now works in the field of contemporary art. "It all clicked very naturally, and this was actually one of the first houses that we saw. What I love about the riad is that it has this amazing harmony to it. It's very peaceful and very relaxed."
The upstairs balcony, the Mies van der Rohe chair was found at a local flea market and re-covered in leather by a local artisan, the pendants are from Mustapha Blaoui in the souks, and the flooring is traditional mosaic tile.

Physical training is well tolerated, leads to improvements in cardiopulmonary fitness and is not associated with adverse outcomes in people with asthma

Implications for practice and research
Regular physical activity (PA) should be recommended to those with well-controlled asthma as it leads to improvements in aerobic capacity, quality of life (QOL) and asthma symptoms.
Regular PA is safe for those with well-controlled asthma.
Randomised trials of efficacy and effectiveness must be conducted in order to determine the optimal dose and mode of PA for those with asthma.
Asthma affects 8–9% of the population in the UK. Exercise acts as a trigger for acute bronchoconstriction in approximately 80% of those with asthma.1 As such, people with asthma tend to avoid PA.1 In addition to many benefits of engaging in PA, regular exercise may lead to significant improvements in asthma control.2 This exercise …

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- It wouldn't be a week in technology without Apple (AAPL) in the spotlight. It's not as if the company has much going on, right?
The past week kicked off with Apple saying its new iMacs would be available before November ended, despite speculation about delays.
The 21.5-inch iMac will be available through Apple's retail stores, certain resellers and the tech giant's online store, and will start shipping in one to three business days. The 27-inch version will start shipping in two to three weeks.
Later in the week, it was reported that Apple was trying to get the Maps fiasco under control, with Apple senior VP Eddie Cue reportedly firing William Richardson, Apple's former senior director of iOS services.
As the week went on, the news for Apple got better, as the company unveiled the latest version of iTunes and good news out of China .
Apple's iTunes 11 entertainment portal adds more integration with iCloud and iTunes Match. It has several new features, including a complete overall redesign, a new library view and a new store design.
Also of note is Apple's increased presence in China. According to a Chinese regulatory Web site, a device that looks a lot like the iPhone 5 was approved for a "network access" license in China. It's expected that the iPhone 5 will come to China Telecom (CHA) and China Unicom (CHU) within the next few months. China Telecom Chairman Wang Xiaochu recently said his company hoped to get the popular device by early December.
Apple also noted that it would be selling the iPhone 5 unlocked for the first time to U.S. customers.
Shares of Apple enjoyed a strong week, gaining 2.4% to close at $585.28 on Friday.
Zynga (ZNGA) and Facebook (FB) announced late Thursday that they altered the terms of their agreement, as the two companies continue to move away from each other.
According to a regulatory filing, Zynga will no longer have to display Facebook ads or use Facebook payments on its Zynga.com properties. Facebook, for its part, can now develop its own games.
Shares of Zynga gained 6% this week to close at $2.46, while Facebook moved sharply higher, rising 17% to finish at $28.
Earnings releases were light this week, but a couple of newly public companies announced results: Workday (WDAY) and Splunk (SPLK) .
Workday reported its first earnings report as a public company, beating Wall Street estimates.
The company generated a third-quarter loss of 39 cents a share on $72.6 million in revenue, doubling from a year earlier. Wall Street analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expected a loss of 59 cents a share.
For the fourth quarter, Workday expects sales of $75 million to $79 million. Analysts, on average, expect Workday to generate revenue of $70.7 million.

Politicians make sure they win gambling industry jackpot
It was revealed last week that Gov. Andrew Cuomo and legislative leaders quietly deleted a proposed ban on accepting campaign contributions from casino operators.
Cuomo had said, as recently as June 6, that he wanted to rid his casino proposal of politics. As The Associated Press noted, Albany's past expansions of gambling have resulted in some of its biggest corruption scandals.
But the bill that passed June 21, authorizing four casinos negotiated by Cuomo and legislative leaders, won't prohibit campaign contributions from gambling interests.
Not all of the details about what killed the proposal are known. As usual, the majority of key negotiations were done behind closed doors.
What is known is some state politicians argued limiting campaign contributions may violate constitutional rights, backed up by some decisions in other states.
However, other officials said there is leeway for laws that limit contributions in an attempt to reduce corruption, and businesses or people can face contribution limits if they have some type of business with the government.
Of course, only a sucker would believe a disagreement on the finer, legal points of an issue and its consequences – and public reaction – would keep these politicians from acting.
Instead, the politicians are likely betting money will continue to roll in from the gambling industry.
In the past two years alone, the gambling industry spent more than $2 million on campaign contributions in Albany and another $14 million on lobbying, according to Common Cause of New York – a nonpartisan, nonprofit advocacy organization.
The campaign contributions included $242,000 to Cuomo; $404,000 to the state Republican Campaign Committee; $372,000 to the Democratic Assembly Campaign Committee; $76,000 to Senate Racing and Wagering Committee Chairman John Bonacic, a Republican representing the Catskills, where one or two casinos are likely to be placed; and $59,000 to Assembly Racing and Wagering Committee Chairman Gary Pretlow, a Democrat from Yonkers, where a harness track with a large video slot-machine center is located.
In addition, the lobbying group formed to run promotional TV ads for Cuomo and his policies, the Committee to Save New York, received $2 million a year ago from gambling interests. The donations were made just weeks before Cuomo called for expansion of gambling.
Considering how vocal state politicians have been about the need to combat corruption, some observers are bound to be surprised nothing was done. But that's the way the game is played in New York.

Plasma Imatinib Levels
|Posted by Julie Royster (juliecontent) on May 27 2008
|GIST In the News >>
Blood plasma levels of imatinib (Gleevec) may predict clinical response
At the January 2008 ASCO GI Cancers Symposium Dr. Demetri presented regarding how the measured level of imatinib (Gleevec) in patients' blood plasma correlated with their treatment outcome. The paper was "Correlation of imatinib plasma levels with clinical benefit in patients (Pts) with unresectable/metastatic gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST)" by G. D. Demetri, Y. Wang, E. Wehrle, C. Blanke, H. Joensuu, M. von Mehren. Link to the full abstract. After linking to the abstract on the ASCO site, you can click the icons shown below the abstract to either hear a webcast and see the slides (video icon) or to see the slides only (slides icon).
The subjects were a portion (N=73) of the patients in the B2222 trial (Phase II imatinib trial). The blood plasma levels of Gleevec were measured on the first day they took it and on Day 29. The Day 29 measurements were used in this evaluation because they are the "steady-state" levels achieved after the body has been on the drug for a while. Investigations of imatinib pharmacokinetics in normal test subjects have shown that people differ a lot in how fast their bodies process and excrete Gleevec. This study looked at the minimum blood plasma concentration ("trough" levels) occurring just prior to taking the next dose. This was abbreviated as Cmin in the study. The trough levels correlated with clinical benefit better than either maximum levels or "area under the curve."
Age, gender, and body weight did not predict trough levels. Trough levels were not proportional to dose (400 versus 600 mg/day); that is to say that mean plasma levels for 600 mg were NOT 1.5 times that for 400 mg. There was wide overlap in plasma levels for dose groups due to individual differences. There was a large amount of variability among patients.
Because patients could not be grouped by dose taken, they were divided into 3 groups according to measured plasma trough level of imatinib:
- those in the lowest quartile for Cmin (the 25% of patients with the lowest blood levels of drug, N=18),
- those in the 2nd and 3rd quartiles (quartiles surrounding the median, N=36),
- those with the highest blood plasma levels of Gleevec (4th quartile, N=19).
The major findings were:
- Large inter-patient variability in imatinib pharmacokinetics result in differing exposures to the drug for people taking the same dose per day
- Patients in the lowest quartile of blood plasma levels of imatinib had lower rates of objective response and clinical benefit (stability or objective response) and a shorter time to progression (but not significantly shorter overall survival) than the 2-4 quartile groups with higher blood plasma levels of Gleevec (which did not differ from each other). This suggests that a minimum effective level of drug must be attained for disease control: approximately greater than 1100 ng/mL.
- Among exon-11-mutation patients (N=39, the largest group) the differences were statistically significant: patients with plasma levels of imatinib in quartiles 2-4 showed higher percentages of clinical benefit and a longer time to progression.
- There were not enough exon-9-mutation patients or other mutation-status patients to detect a significant difference in these groups.
- More study of imatinib (Gleevec) pharmacokinetics is needed to confirm and expand these hypotheses. Individual people vary in factors that influence their blood plasma levels of drug, including plasma albumin and white blood cell counts.

Topic: does each mongrel has one instance of a singleton class?
I guess it's really stupid to ask this but i just want to confirm that i understand the singleton class correctly. In my rails app I have a few singleton classes, and then i deploy my app with a cluster of 10 mongrel servers and pen as load balancing (no round robin). I notice a performance issue related to my singleton classes, so i want to ask if it's really 10 instances of each singleton class are created on my 10 mongrel or they all share ONE instance of that class. I know rails is single thread so each mongrel is running on one thread but again i just want to make sure there is nothing fishy about singleton module.
Thanks in advance

Strategies for Engaging Men as Anti-Violence Allies: Implications for Ally Movements
As ally movements become an increasingly prevalent element of social justice efforts, research is needed that illuminates effective strategies to initially engage members of privileged social groups in anti-oppression work. This study presents descriptive findings regarding ally engagement strategies and barriers from a qualitative study of a particular ally movement – male anti-violence against women activism. Twenty-seven men who recently initiated involvement in an organization or event dedicated to ending sexual or domestic violence were interviewed regarding their perceptions of effective approaches to reaching and engaging other men in anti-violence work. Participants viewed tailored engagement strategies that tap into existing social networks, that allow men to see themselves reflected in anti-violence movements, and that help men make personal, emotional connections to the issue of violence as most effective. Implications for engaging men in the project of ending violence against women, and for ally movements more generally are discussed.

BCA investigates death at LEC
MARSHALL – The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) is investigating the circumstances of a Marshall man who died Saturday outside of the Lyon County Law Enforcement Center.
The Ramsey County Medical Examiner identified the deceased as 53-year-old Raul Bautista Avalos. The medical examiner said Bautista-Avalos' death appears to be accidental.
Toxicology results are pending.
According to the BCA's preliminary investigation, Bautista-Avalos came to the Marshall Police Department around 2:30 a.m. Saturday appearing highly intoxicated and requesting a ride home. He was told to wait in the lobby area where an officer would come speak to him, the BCA said. When the officer arrived a few minutes later, Bautista-Avalos had left the police department.
Around 4:45 p.m. on Saturday, a Lyon County Sheriff's Office deputy arriving for an afternoon shift entered his vehicle and found Bautista-Avalos dead in the front seat, the BCA said. The investigation suggests Bautista-Avalos left the police department and entered the squad, which was parked at the back of the parking lot, through an unlocked back door. When Bautista-Avalos was unable to reopen the back door, it is thought that he climbed through a 1-by-1 foot window in the Plexiglass barrier to the front seat where he was later located.
Investigators do not suspect foul play in his death, the BCA said.
The BCA's investigation is ongoing. The BCA is conducting its investigation with assistance from the Marshall Police Department.
