Meili Faille Vaudreuil—Soulanges, QC
Mr. Speaker, on June 7, James Ratcliffe, a volunteer firefighter from Hudson died during a water-rescue training exercise on Lake of Two Mountains. He was only 20 years old.
James was enrolled in a bachelor of arts program in Ottawa. He was very involved in his community, where he had, among other things, raised funds for the purchase of the rescue boat.
I would like to express my profound sadness to his family. James' life had meaning and purpose: to look after the well-being of others. He will be sadly missed by his family, friends, fellow firefighters and the entire community.
This incident is a reminder of the risks faced by these men and women whose mission is to ensure our protection.
Thank you, James, and farewell.
National Parks

Bryon Wilfert Richmond Hill, ON
Mr. Speaker, today during Canadian Environment Week, I congratulate the Minister of the Environment for acting to enhance the ecological health of our system of national parks.
Canada's national parks are places of natural beauty, symbols of our heritage and identity. By protecting and celebrating this natural heritage, we provide tangible environmental, economic and cultural benefits for ourselves and for generations to come. We ensure that representative examples of Canada's unique ecosystems and biodiversity survive for all time.
Proper stewardship of Canada's national parks is fundamental to our sustainable environment. It provides Canadians with enjoyment, educational opportunities and a sense of environmental stewardship. By acting to improve the ecological health of Canada's national parks, the minister has set an example for others to follow.

Mr. Speaker, as a member of the same sex marriage committee, I have heard from a number of witnesses who have expressed that their greatest concern is the empirical evidence which suggests that children will suffer the most harm during the government's same sex social experiment. It is time for the Prime Minister to do what the United Nations, the European Union and every other country and high court in the world, except for two, have done and recognize marriage as between a man and a woman.
Everybody knows the difference. Over 98% of the world's population understands that the word marriage is not a right. It is just a word describing a term that belongs to a set of defined facts. In Canada that word is already taken by a large percentage of people having specific religious beliefs that conflict with the group that wants to share this word.
Does the government really want to risk our children's future? It is time to do what has been done so many times in the past. It is time for the Liberal government to make another promise and break it.
Great Lakes

Yasmin Ratansi Don Valley East, ON
Mr. Speaker, the Great Lakes, which straddle the border between Canada and the United States, have played a major role in the development of both countries. In fact, the Great Lakes basin contains 18% of the world's surface fresh water and almost a third of the Canadian population lives around it.
In order to prevent and resolve disputes between the two countries, the International Joint Commission is a vital part of the Canada-United States management of this shared environment. Consequently, the governments of both countries have asked the IJC to conduct a review of the Great Lakes water quality agreement through public consultation. There is a growing consensus that the agreement should be revised to reflect advances in science and new challenges to the integrity of the Great Lakes ecosystem.
On behalf of my constituents and all citizens of the Great Lakes, I welcome and applaud this decisive action by Canada and the United States to continue the process of restoring the physical, chemical and biological integrity of the Great Lakes.
Phénix Environment Award

Bernard Bigras Rosemont—La Petite-Patrie, QC
Mr. Speaker, yesterday, Quebec's ministry of sustainable development, environment and parks awarded the 2005 Phénix environment award to Laure Waridel.
A researcher, lecturer and essayist, Laure Waridel personifies, through her steadfast journey, Victor Hugo's famous aphorism, "Today's utopia is tomorrow's reality".
In 1993, with a group of supporters, she founded Equiterre, a movement that has unceasingly advocated fair trade and an economy with a human face ever since.
In a book entitled Acheter, c'est voter , or "to buy is to vote", Laure Waridel says, "We often hear people make cynical comments about money ruling the world. But money is not the only source of economic power, and this book is about a power that is accessible to all, that of making consumer choices that foster the development of a responsible economy".
To the Phénix environment award winner, Laure Waridel, and the 14 Phénix specialized award winners, the Bloc Québécois says well done, we thank Laure for her concern for fairness and her environmental awareness.
Nunavut Youth Leaders

Nancy Karetak-Lindell Nunavut, NU
Mr. Speaker, on Friday, May 27 the Nunatsiaq News published a feature called "Top 10 Under 35". This feature highlighted several young people who have made extraordinary contributions to Nunavut and Nunavik. Nine of the honourees are from my riding, Nunavut.
I would like to make mention of these young leaders as we are so fortunate to have them as role models. The nine from Nunavut are Madeleine Allakariallak, Jolene Kuluk Arreak, Letia Cousins, Tanya Tagaq Gillis, Lori Idlout, Lucie Idlout, Jackie Price, Alexander Stubbing and Hamish Tungulak Tatty.
These young leaders come from various backgrounds, music, business, government and archaeology, among other areas. What they all have in common is a passionate interest in Nunavut and the desire and ability to make a difference.
I ask my colleagues to join me in honouring and congratulating these exceptional young people.
Rural Post Offices
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Andrew Scheer Regina—Qu'Appelle, SK
Mr. Speaker, contrary to Liberal Party policy, rural Saskatchewan is an important part of Canada. Due to geographic difficulties, the rural people of Saskatchewan rely heavily on their small town post offices, yet the Liberals are trying to destroy this important part of our communities.
The minister's hidden agenda on post office closures has been uncovered by the Canadian Postmasters and Assistants Association. Some 750 post offices, several in my riding, are slated for closure. In many towns the closing of the post office will be a devastating blow to the few businesses still operating on the main street. At a time when Canada Post is seeing record profits, the government is cutting back on services. Post offices in small towns serve as a town centre, a place to meet neighbours and to serve the needs of their people.
I call on the minister to abandon his hidden agenda on closing post offices. He should stand up for rural Saskatchewan and help keep our small towns alive.
Canadian Sovereignty
Statements By Members
11:10 a.m.
Peter Julian Burnaby—New Westminster, BC
Mr. Speaker, in its greedy push for even bigger profits, the Canadian Council of Chief Executives wants to eliminate virtually everything dear to Canadians.
Its plan for deep integration proposes to eliminate the Canada-U.S. border, impose American regulations, increase the foreign takeover of our energy resources, and create a common North American identity. That is just for starters. Goodbye Canada.
With deep integration our sovereignty and the institutions that we hold dear, such as public and universal health care, public broadcasting and affordable education, already menaced by Liberal underfunding, would exist no more. Deep integration uses security as a Trojan horse for the complete surrender of our sovereignty to North American big business.
Maintaining Canada's cultural diversity and strength is not negotiable. Maintaining social services that are integral to the lives of all Canadians cannot be traded away. Maintaining Canada as a free and sovereign nation is fundamental to our future.
Most Canadians reject this plan. The New Democratic Party will fight this threat to our nation with all our heart and all our soul.

Carol Skelton Saskatoon—Rosetown—Biggar, SK
Mr. Speaker, in every community across Canada there is a tragedy in the making. Thousands of children are being bullied to the breaking point. Its consequences and causes are more complex than ever. Besides words and fists, bullies often utilize the latest technology to bully via computer from the safety and security of their own homes.
It is time we all worked together to protect our children from this destructive behaviour. Parents need to step forward and take responsibility for the actions of their children. Educators need to step forward and play an early intervention role in identifying bullies and victims.
More important, legislators and judges need to step forward with action, not just words. We need to provide judges with the tools to deal with the problem. We need to get tough with bullies. Judges need to use these tools to send a message of zero tolerance. We all have a role in stopping bullying. Let us get on with it.

Serge Ménard Marc-Aurèle-Fortin, QC
Mr. Speaker, this year marks the 25th anniversary of Info-Cult, an organization whose unique, intelligent and exemplary efforts in Quebec help prevent the exploitation of vulnerable people by cults.
Generally, the leaders of these movements use so-called new religions as a front for abusing their members. They exploit members' vulnerability, take over all their assets, or even require sexual favours. Mutilation and death can even be the final outcome. Everyone will recall the tragic events associated with the cult of Moïse Thériault as well as the Order of the Solar Temple.
The way to limit, if not totally eliminate, this type of exploitation is by amassing objective knowledge based on facts and making these known to the public. Info-Cult has been doing just that for the past 25 years.
The people at Info-Cult can be proud of what they have accomplished. I respect and congratulate them for all their efforts over the years. Long may they continue. Let us hope that it does not take another dramatic event like the Solar Temple mass suicides before the importance of such a worthwhile undertaking gains proper recognition.
Tom Brzustowski
Statements By Members
11:10 a.m.
James Rajotte Edmonton—Leduc, AB
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Dr. Tom Brzustowski for his distinguished career at the Natural Sciences and Engineering Council of Canada, and for his devotion to public service and the betterment of science and engineering in Canada.
Many individuals and institutions drive the state of science, industry and innovation in this country, yet this coming September we lose a rather important one. Dr. Brzustowski has been the president of NSERC since 1995, but he will be retiring from this post in the fall.
He has always been very forthright in his opinions and in offering solutions on science, and research and development in Canada. Throughout his career he has served the goal of making Canada a country of discoverers and innovators, and for this we should thank him.
While his talent will be missed at NSERC, it will be appreciated by the world of academia to which he will be returning. I want to wish him, his wife Louise and their sons John, Mark and Paul well, and encourage him to use this point in his career to spend some time with his family and grandchildren.
The Economy
Statements By Members
11:15 a.m.
Marc Godbout Ottawa—Orléans, ON
Mr. Speaker, 35,000 new jobs were created in Canada in the month of May according to Statistics Canada's monthly labour market survey. This is more than double the monthly average of the four previous months and more than double the number projected by most economists.
Job creation has always been a priority of this and previous Liberal governments. Since 1993 over three million jobs have been created in the country.
Unemployment is currently at 6.8%, its lowest level in four and a half years. Let us contrast that to when the Conservatives left office in 1993. The unemployment rate was a staggering 11.2%.
Canada has the best job creation record of the G-7, the fastest growth in living standards of the G-7, the only balanced budget of the G-7, and the best fiscal performance since 1867.
Standing Committee on Finance
Statements By Members
June 10th, 2005 / 11:15 a.m.
Judy Wasylycia-Leis Winnipeg North, MB
Mr. Speaker, on September 26, 1996, the member for Medicine Hat said:
When a six-year old child does not accept responsibility it is bad. But when adult men and women, capable people, people who are supposedly the cream of the crop, people who make up the caucus and the cabinet of the country, refuse to accept responsibility for promises that are on paper, which they campaigned on, it is scandalous. It is ridiculous. Is it any wonder people are so disrespectful of politicians today? Hardly.
Yesterday that same member bullied, cajoled and harassed an entire panel of witnesses into silence. The transcripts show the words "point of order" were raised almost a hundred times and the word "budget" only five times.
I demand that the Conservative finance critic and his obstructionist and bullying colleagues allow the business of the finance committee to proceed, and that they shape up or ship out, put aside their NDP envy, and get on to getting things done for Canadians.
Oral Question Period
11:15 a.m.
Peter MacKay Central Nova, NS
Mr. Speaker, no one in Canada is more responsible for the declining state of health care than the Prime Minister. The unilateral cuts to health care that he inflicted a decade ago do not come close to a fix for a generation that he boldly proclaimed last September.
Dr. Albert Schumacher, president of the Canadian Medical Association, said that the financial commitment was not nearly enough to provide the kind of quality health care patients deserve.
While the Prime Minister waits for his generational fix to kick in, what should Canadians do about their personal, lengthy wait times for surgical procedures, just pull out their credit cards like he does?

DCHS sees financial challenges in 2013
By JIM ANDERSON
News Editor
IRON MOUNTAIN – After improving its financial situation in 2012, Dickinson County Healthcare System is facing new concerns in early 2013.
Through February of this year, DCHS is showing a loss in operating income of $727,129, hospital officials reported Wednesday.
John Schon, DCHS administrator-chief executive, said local support for the hospital remains a key in keeping it viable.
"It's really critical that we partner with the community and that the community supports our health care system," Schon said at a meeting of the DCHS Board of Trustees. "That can't be more important than it is right now."
In 2012, DCHS showed operating income for the year of $857,594. With the addition of interest expenses and other non-operating adjustments, last year's bottom-line profit was $21,700, which compared to a net loss of more than $1.6 million in 2011.
In early 2013, revenues are lagging, with officials reporting an operating loss of $422,188 for February. Despite the losses sustained in the first two months of the year, DCHS has provided $517,245 in charity and other free care and has incurred $946,445 in bad debt expenses, officials said.
In a news release, Schon said "multiple, complex factors" contribute to the achievement of a healthy bottom line for hospitals and health care systems.
"Different combinations of payers, severity and length of the inpatient stays, staff levels needed to care for patients, and the increasing costs of pharmaceutical and medical supplies fluctuate from month to month and combine in a variety of ways to create a loss or gain for the month," Schon said.
Initiatives that are under way to improve the hospital's finances were outlined as follows:
– The reimbursement received by DCHS from commercial insurance companies currently averages $3.1 million less per year than realized by other hospitals across the Upper Peninsula. Requests to change payment methodology have been made and are continuing.
– DCHS is working with the office of U.S. Rep. Dan Benishek, R-Crystal Falls, to become part of the rural Community Hospital Demonstration Program. Inclusion in this federal program would increase Medicare reimbursement to DCHS by approximately $1 million per year.
– Exploration of membership in a larger group purchasing consortium has begun. Successful inclusion would save DCHS about $500,000 per year on the cost of medical supplies.
– Additional local pharmacies have been included in the 340B Program, which is a program that allows DCHS to purchase drugs at the same prices charged the federal government. This will translate into greater savings on pharmaceutical costs.
Trustee Susan Tracy, who chairs the hospital board's finance committee, said February was a month in which reimbursement shortfalls were largely evident.
"If we can overcome our reimbursement challenge, our financial challenge goes away," added Schon.
In the meantime, he stressed, DCHS depends on patients selecting local care.
"As we continue to navigate our way through what has started out to be a very challenging year, it is more important than ever for our patients to utilize their local, community hospital and physicians for their health care and check to see if health care services are provided locally before leaving the area for them," he said. "The utilization of our local services and programs by our local friends and neighbors is the best initiative to maintain our financial viability into the future."

Apis andreniformis
|This article includes a list of references, related reading or external links, but its sources remain unclear because it lacks inline citations. (February 2011)
Apis andreniformis or the black dwarf honey bee is a species of honey bee whose native habitat is the tropical and subtropical regions of Asia.
A. andreniformis was the fifth honey bee species to be described of the seven known species of Apis, and its biology, geographic distribution, and its specific status was recognized by many authors. However, the actual identity of the species was poorly understood, and only recently has it been diagnostically separated from its sister species Apis florea since there are sites where both A. andreniformis and A. florea live conspecifically. Both species are distributed throughout tropical and subtropical Asia, including Southeast China, India, Burma, Laos, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia (Java and Borneo), and the Philippines (Palawan).
This species, together with A. florea, possesses the most plesiomorphic traits of all living honeybee species. Separating roughly about the Bartonian (some 40 mya or slightly later) from the other lineages, among themselves they do not seem to have diversified a long time before the Neogene.(Arias & Sheppard 2005)
These two species together comprise the subgenus Micrapis, and are the most primitive of the living species of Apis, reflected in their small colony size, and simple nest construction. The exposed single combs are built on branches of shrubs and small trees. The forager bees do not perform a gravity oriented waggle dance on the vertical face of the comb to recruit nestmates as in the domesticated Apis mellifera and other species. Instead they perform the dance on the horizontal upper surface where the comb wraps around the supporting branch. The dance is a straight run pointing directly to the source of pollen or nectar that the forager has been visiting. In all other Apis species, the comb on which foragers dance is vertical, and the dance is not actually directed towards the food source.
Physical characteristics
The most significant morphological characteristic of the species are black stripes on the legs, specifically on the tibia and on the dorsolateral (back and side) surface of the basitarsus. (See Arthropod leg). Additionally, the pigmentation of A. andreniformis is blackish, while that of A. florea is yellowish. Other distinguishing characteristics include a difference respective cubital indexes: A. andreniformis has an index of 6.37, and A. florea one of 2.86. Also, the proboscis of A. andreniformis has a length of 2.80 mm, while that of A. florea is 3.27 mm. This physical difference contributes to a division in the distribution of naturally occurring nectar between the two species. Finally, there are differences in the barbs of the stinger, and in the basitarsus of the drones.
A andreniformis nests in quiet forests, generally in darker areas where there is 25 to 30% of normal sunlight. The hive is usually made in branches of bamboo and banana plants, in shrubs, and in bushes such as coffee and tea. They can be built between 1 to 15 meters from the ground, although the average altitude is 2.5 m. The honeycomb typically ranges from 70 to 90 mm in size.
A. andreniformis is generally more defensive than A. florea: it is known to attack when there are disturbances 3 to 4 meters from the hive.
The main parasites of both A. andreniformis and A. florea belong to genus Euvarroa. However, A. andreniformis is attacked by the species Euvarroa wongsirii, while Euvarroa sinhai preys on A. florea and colonies of Apis mellifera that are imported. The two species of Euvarroa have morphological and biological differences: while E. wongsirii has a triangular body shape and a length of 47 to 54 micrometres, E. sinhai has a more circular shape and a length of 39 to 40 micrometres.

Sports news from the Pollock, SD area.
Posted 2/18/13 (Mon)
All good things come to an end, and so it was for the Mobridge-Pollock Tigers on Friday, Feb. 15, in Winner. The Warriors defeated the Tigers, 70-55, and in the process ended the Tigers' 15 game winning streak.
The first half was a story of momentum swings. M-P had it early and the Warriors grabbed it late in the first quarter and held it until half. The Tigers broke away to a 10-2 lead but Winner turned it around at mid quarter. A bucket and trey drew them within three. M-P came back with two buckets to go back up, 14-7. The Warriors got a bucket and two free shots in the final minute to trail by just three, 14-11.
Winner tied the game up when they opened the second quarter with a trey. They grabbed the lead with another bucket. M-P tied it back up two minutes in when they got their first bucket of the quarter. That, however, was the Tigers last bucket for almost 5:30 as their efforts to get the ball inside resulted in several turnovers. Winner mixed it up and ran off 11 unanswered points to take a 29-16 lead. M-P got the last bucket of the half, trimming the lead to 11 at 29-18.
The Tigers got their offense working as the second half opened and trimmed the lead back to seven, 31-24. Winner stormed right back with a bucket and long trey. After a bucket by M-P, Winner popped back out by 13. The Tigers fought back with three buckets in a row and trimmed the lead to seven, 39-32. Winner rebuilt the lead to ten, but M-P came back with two buckets to draw within six. Winner looked like they were going to end up with a ten point edge when they went four of four from the line in the closing seconds, but M-P drilled a trey from the oppositions' charity stripe.
Winner got the first bucket of the fourth quarter, after which the teams exchanged a couple of buckets. Winner went back up 11 with two free throws at 5:40. M-P kept chipping at the lead but Winner always responded and the Tigers couldn't get the lead under nine. With 3:00 to go the Tigers finally got a couple steals and scored off both. They got another bucket after Winner missed at the line and were back within six, 58-52. Winner, however, quickly rebuilt the lead with four of four shooting from the charity stripe while the Tigers went zero of two. M-P got one more three and Winner went eight of eight from the line to finish off the contest and push the winning margin to 70-55.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (54 votes).
In short: Well organised small half-marathonIn full: I did this race as it was near to my parents who I was visiting at the weekend. Ideal for a relatively early start which then allowed time for mothers day lunch after 13 miles through glorious countryside where I grew up. I would do this race again, however I thought it a little on the expensive side for a goody bag which contained just jelly beans & a cheapish looking medal. That being said I enjoyed the run & appreciate that any proceeds are to go to charity so maybe I'm being a bit selfish here.Date of review: March 13, 2013
In full: I was meant to do last year's (2012) race but had to pull out due to injury, so I was looking forward to it this year.It was a small race, but brilliantly organised and a fantastic atmosphere. All the club runners that I thought would be a bit scary, we're, in fact, all lovely. I was paced round by a very kind club runner and got a PB by 10 mins :-)It was my first very positive race experience and as a result I will definitely be back.There isn't lots of support on the way round, but I wouldn't expect there to be (especially not when it's cold and windy), but the marshals and the chaps manning the water stations were fab!I would recommend this race to anyone, but would add that you need to make sure you can tackle hills and are comfortable on an undulating course. All of which is well worth it for the beautiful scenery (and a couple of very nice looking pubs that you run past)!Date of review: March 13, 2013
In short: Great race so very very cold !!!!In full: Did this last year in the glorious sunshine, well marshalled and great atmosphere at finish line. This year oh it was cold oh so cold, fair play to the marshals who had to stand out in that for two and a half hours !! Understandably the support around the course and finish was sparse but this was totally understandable giving the cold and wind. The race itself is good, nice staggered start great scenery , a few undulations, nice hill towards the end to test you out. Good medal and goody bag. These guys do a great job, only two minor niggles this year, not enough toilets at hq quite a large que for the men's. goody bag could have done with a bottle of water, I know there were cups available at the finish, but a bottle to drink on the walk back to the car would have been appreciated. The drawstring back was a welcome change from the usual tshirts.Date of review: March 13, 2013
In full: Extremely well organised-very runner friendly-lovely countryside-excellent and supportive marshalls-varied route-Will be back next year!Date of review: March 13, 2013
In short: Excellent atmosphere and organisation - definitely returningDate of review: March 13, 2013
In short: Highly Recommended 1/2 MarathonIn full: A lovely, slightly undulating road race around an attractive area near Evesham. The race was not too busy, which for me is a positive, but this does mean not many spectators, which means not much vocal support on the way round. Good facilities at the school, and finishing on the school field is great as you can lie down on the cool grass to recover. Highly recommended, but rather selfishly I hope it doesn't get too busy!Date of review: March 13, 2013
In short: Excellent organisation and smoothly ran,definate for next year!Date of review: March 13, 2013
In short: Well organised and marshalled. Nice scenic route with a small sting in the tail.Date of review: March 13, 2013
In short: Beautiful sweeping and fast course. Excellent organisation and marshalling.Date of review: March 13, 2013
In short: Wish more races were like this !In full: Love this race ! ran it last year and again this year will be back next year too :-)very well organised,great marshalling in windy conditions defo recomend it Date of review: March 12, 2013

I must have gotten a bad batch. This is too runny-needs more pectin. Too sweet. Sweetness overpowers flavors of orange and ginger.

not good for me
Posted by otherkind on Apr 07, 2012
I don't like it. I like ginger and everything with ginger, however this marmalade isn't the best presentation of ginger + orange combination. Too many pectin, too little ginger. While I was expecting to find some orange in the marmalade, I've ended up chewing on some orange peel, won't buy again. Неплохо, но больше не куплю... Слишком много пектина, слишком мало всего остального, тонкие полосочки практически безвусного имбиря и апельсиновая цедра. очень спецефический вкус.

The gain of confidence in the military parallels an
The gain of confidence in the military parallels an increase in our fear and is inversely proportional to the loss of confidence in the church, the traditional protector against what we are most afraid, meaninglessness. The military gains while the church loses because we have replaced our fear of "the void" with a fear of terrorists and the military creates the perception it is protecting us against the 'enemy' we fear. http://www.thelastwhy.ca/poem/

Ironic that Jesus repeatedly tell us 'Do not be afraid'.

RE: Military vs. Church
When I looked back at the line graph, I noticed that the military surpassed the church in confidence somewhere around 1990. The Berlin Wall had fallen so we weren't afraid of the Soviets any more. It was well before the rise of bin Laden, so we weren't afraid of terrorism any more. Obviously something else was going on.

US Women Take Break to Enjoy Opening Ceremony

LONDON (July 27, 2012) – The U.S. Olympic Women's Volleyball Team opens its 2012 Olympic Games on July 28 against Korea at 8 p.m. local time (noon PT), but carved out a handful of hours to enjoy the Opening Ceremony on Friday evening in London.
For five-time Olympian Danielle Scott-Arruda (Baton Rouge, La.), the Olympic Games Opening Ceremony came with a different set of emotions.
"Well this time I was filled with different emotions, the thrill of walking with all of USA Olympic delegation, taking pictures to capture the moment, and then the feeling of gratitude came over me," Scott-Arruda, a middle blocker, said after the Opening Ceremony. "My thought was 'Wow I am here. I made it once again... thanks team, thanks family and friends, fans and thank you Jesus' while I was blinking back tears of joy."
Setter Lindsey Berg (Honolulu), captain of the U.S. Olympic Women's Volleyball Team, enjoyed one last Olympic Games Opening Ceremony as she has announced she will retire at the conclusion of the London Games.
"I wanted to experience this moment with my teammates," Berg said. "Nothing can replace these opportunities that we are so fortunate to have. For the third time it was magical, inspiring and emotional. Let the games begin...."
Nicole Davis (Stockton, Calif.), a two-time Olympian, stated that it really is difficult to capture words that describe the feeling of stepping foot on the Olympic Stadium grounds during the Olympic Games Opening Ceremony.
"It's impossible to capture in a photograph or describe in words the experience of walking into the stadium with the crowd and the lights, the American delegation chanting 'USA, USA, USA!'" Davis said. "It's a priceless moment."
Middle blocker Foluke Akinradewo (Plantation, Fla.), a first-time Olympian, felt a mix of positive emotions and expressed it to her family and friends through social media.
"Opening Ceremony was a blast!" Akinradewo said on her Facebook page. "This has been a lifelong dream and I'm so happy and blessed to finally be on this stage surrounded by spectacular athletes. Many thanks to all who have supported me throughout the

Perhaps this shark had a hankering for a slice...http://www.silverdoctors.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/nj-shark.pngHopefully, it doesn't have access to the internet, Norma, or it might try swimming up the Susquehanna looking for you.
I wouldnt mind going dumpster diving again though and dressing poorly and looking sad sure wouldnt be any problem. Norma
A woman after my heart....you are my kind of lady Norma....amazing!
Bob, you can go with me if you want. It is kinda scary though. Norma
What an awesome invitation....don't be surprised if I take you up on that one day soon Norma! I would be honored to "watch your back"....and you do the same for me while we enjoy an evening of dumpster diving together!!
Bob,I still have pictures of how close the dumpsters are to the back of Mack's. There is also a chainlink fence on the other side. There is no way out of there. I think some of the employees live right there too. Do you hear your knees knocking? Mine are!Norma
Yes, that is beautiful. I've had a number of occasions where I've walked down through "tourist towns" at a time of day when it appeared to be a "ghost town". A unique experience that is not easily described.....And I agree Norma, we should all count our blessings and remember to say a prayer for the less fortunate....no matter what has caused their hardship.....
I wonder if there still a Sandy Hook...
My wife pressed several of their staff members to give up some info on both the dough and the cheese. The dough is a closely guarded secret but I uncovered (with your and Pete's help) that added vital wheat gluten (VWG) is 1 of the 2 secret ingredients. The other secret dough ingredient I'm not certain about. Gluten was confirmed with a wink and nod, but I was told there is one more second secret ingredient that helps the elasticity.
Does anyone know what happened to WIldwood as a result of the storm?
Hey Norma, just wondering. Does that look the way you remember it from 1906?

Columbia University's faculty senate passed a pro-ROTC resolution Friday. The Army is interested in restoring ties with Columbia. A Navy unit also is a possibility.
Navy ROTC is returning to Harvard.
Stanford's faculty is reviewing the issue. A student group is rallying opposition to bringing ROTC back on campus on grounds the military discriminates against transgendered people.
Dickinson College in Pennsylvania may expand its ROTC curriculum, if the Army agrees, to include four years of foreign language, cultural immersion, a semester or year's worth of study abroad and a concentration in global security studies, reports Inside Higher Ed.
The move was inspired by an e-mail from a Dickinson ROTC graduate who majored in Middle Eastern history and now leads an infantry platoon in the Kandahar province of Afghanistan. Talking with village elders, he recited the first chapter of the Koran, which he'd learned in a class.
Soon after, one of the men handed over five small papers which appeared to be "night letters," or notes left by the Taliban on local mosques or the doors of homes. Typically, such letters urge resistance or threaten violence to those who cooperate with American forces. These, however, were asking for help. "The three letters this man gave to me thus signaled a major shift in Taliban morale in our area of operations, and at the end of the day became very valuable intelligence information," the unnamed lieutenant wrote.
University president William Durden, a 1971 graduate of Dickinson's ROTC program, believes officers need more than training in operations and tactics. "We have young lieutenants running cities."
The Mellon Foundation is funding partnerships between liberal arts colleges and military institutions of higher education. Dickinson will collaborate with the nearby U.S. Army War College, Bard, Union and Vassar colleges with the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, St. John's College with the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, and Colorado College with the U.S. Air Force Academy.
Bard and West Point have shared an "odd-couple relationship" for years, said Jonathan Becker, Bard's vice president for international affairs and civic engagement.
. . . students sometimes attend classes at each other's institutions, faculty travel to deliver guest lectures, and students and professors from both colleges mix sides to debate political issues.
West Pointers and Bard students have no trouble getting along, Becker said. "Twenty-year-olds enjoy meeting and learning with other 20-year-olds."

Putting a layer of foil under the bottom stone might help by reflecting some of the direct heat from the fire back down and keeping the bottom stone a little cooler. It helped with my old grill mod.
Here's a few pics of a pizza I made yesterday in an unmodified grill with foil under the stone (http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,20342.msg200618.html#msg200618). Although I could have used a little more top heat, I really like how the bottom of the crust turned out (see the fourth pic). I know from experience that if I had used the stone in the grill without foil, the bottom of the crust would have ended up black and perhaps inedible.
Great looking pie. What type of pepperoni was that?

Whether it's his broken engagement to Lemon (Jaime King), his split from Tansy (Mircea Monroe) or his missed opportunity(s) with Zoe (Rachel Bilson), Hart of Dixie's George Tucker has had his fair share of failed attempts at love. But don't call him unlucky just yet.
"He's starting to find out what he really wants in relationships, and what he doesn't," Scott Porter told TVGuide.com in our video interview from the show's set. "I wouldn't call him unlucky in love this season, as much as figuring out exactly what he wants."
Hart of Dixie's Bluebell and more of our favorite TV small towns
So does Lavon's cousin Lynly (Antoinette Robertson), whom George slept with at the very beginning of the season, fall under that category? Even though Wade (Wilson Bethel) warned George against dating her because of Lavon's fierce protectiveness, the answer appears to be yes. "It's not a one-night thing. George fights against it and fights against it and fights against it, but Linley is a little bit of an unrelenting character," Porter said.
Hart of Dixie airs Mondays at 8/7c on The CW. Are you rooting for George and Lynly? Or do you want to see George and Zoe together?

ST.PAUL, Minn. - The Mini-Handball pilot program launched last week at L'Etoile Du Nord French Immersion School in St. Paul, MN, with more than 40 kids taking part in the Wednesday (grades 4-6) and the Thursday (grades 1-3) programs.
The 10-week pilot is being run by Craig Rot as a graduate research project in Kinesiology (Sports management) at University of Minnesota under the supervision of Professor Lisa Kihl, PhD, with the intention of creating a program with guidebook and supplemental materials that provides a comprehensive, yet easy to follow coaching plan for volunteers, teachers, administrators and coaches.
Designed both to be cost-effective and to require minimal Federation oversight, After-School Mini-handball will get kids doing what they do best, running, jumping, throwing and catching, and will do it in a fun manner that teaches them the fundamental skills of the sport, while taking away most of the guesswork administrators and sport managers experience in offering handball-related programming.
This program will not only be flexible, meaning it can be run indoors and outdoors, and with minimal resources, but it will be adaptable, too, converting easily into Parks & Recs offerings, PE classes, or even weekend or summer festivals.
After-School Mini-Handball will run in conjunction with the USATH Mini-Handball membership program, which for $7 kids receive their very own handballs, and access to a Youth Handball Website (currently under construction), where members can create and post fun games they design around their handballs (in categories like Me & My Ball, Me & My friends, and Us & Others) and then vote in support of their favorite games. This interactive experience will offer kids a means to further their skills development, while providing kid-focused content about the sport of Team Handball, too.
If you have any questions regarding the Mini-Handball program, you can contact Craig Rot at email@example.com.

Andrew Lloyd Webber: 'Eurovision racism hurt UK acts'
Andrew Lloyd Webber has said that racism in Europe is a reason for the UK's poor performances in the Eurovision Song Contest.
The composer's Your Country Needs You TV show picked 2009 entrant and later-Sugababe Jade Ewen, who finished fifth in Russia with a song co-written by Lloyd Webber.
"I don't think there's any point beating around the bush," Lloyd Webber told Radio Times.
"Did you see the Eurovision Song Contest this year? Well, if you had seen it, you might have noticed one thing - I don't think there was one black face on the programme."
He continued: "At the press conference in Moscow, I was asked, 'Why have you brought a black artist?'
"I said, 'Because she is the most talented artist that we had and I think she's a major, major star'. I think we would have come second but there's a problem when you go further east."
Lloyd Webber added: "It doesn't mean that we would necessarily have won that year but we could have come second.
"If you're talking about Western Europe - Germany, fine; France, fine; Spain, fine; Greece, fine; Scandinavian countries, fine. But Ukraine? Not so good."
During the interview, Lloyd Webber also claimed that none of the acts on The Voice UK could sing in tune.

Regarding the flour -- doubtless, many of us have asked this question of ourselves a number of times over the years: What kind of flour would Ike Sewell's staff, including the Malnati's that work in the original Pizzeria Uno's in the 40's and 50's, have used? What was commonly available back then? What's the likelihood that they would have built their great reputation based on a fancy, sophisticated flour blend back then? It doesn't seem likely to me that they would have utilized something too complicated. Wouldn't seem like rocket science . . . but is it?While not old enough to know, I've asked some other "old timers" and their recollection was that even all-purpose blends were not commonly availble back then. Well then, what was?Food for thought . . . or is it pizza for the stomach? --BTB
"Ceresota flour is The Official Flour for Chicago Style Certifications at the International School of Pizza!"
Interesting, but puzzling quote. Chicago pizza enthusiasts have learned that the term Chicago Style is loosely used to suggest a number of things. Was it meant to cover only deep dish pan pizza styles (whose crust is very different)? Down here in Florida, of course, we don't see Hecker's/Ceresota (am uncertain if its at GFS), but will have to wait till we return "up north" for the few summer months that we return for. Had anyone noticed anything special about Hecker's/Ceresota? Is it commonly availabe in the Chicago area (in bags less than 10 lbs)?
BTB,As I was discussing the flour issue with Freeland, I asked myself which side of all-purpose flour he was thinking of--cake flour or bread flour. However, he did not give a hint of the answer. I mentioned Hecker's/Ceresota in the context of local, Chicago-area flours, hoping that he might reveal something, but he did not bite. It was clear that he wasn't going to say much on the subject. In line with your thesis, I may do some further review of flours to see what an all-purpose/cake flour blend does to the Nutrition Facts numbers.
Way back in Reply 3 at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,10161.msg88861.html#msg88861, BTB gave a link to a Lou Malnati YouTube video in which he makes a 9" sausage pizza. The link to that video is . Can anyone tell me what the "6" marking on the scale at about 1:06 in the video represents?......Note that Marc says that the pizza "is off the charts".Peter
For those who are interested, the label of the Malnati's canned tomato sauce can be seen at http://www.flickr.com/photos/loumalnatis/3662868312/. Also, judging from this website, http://take25tohollister.blogspot.com/2008/11/canning-fans.html, I don't get the impression that Hollister, CA is brimming with canneries. I wouldn't be surprised if San Benito is the main supplier of tomato sauce to Malnati's. If the San Benito tomatoes are fresh-pack, someone like Stanislaus could be a back-up supplier. Peter
I didn't mention it in that thread but it would make sense that Malnati's uses the "a Gradito" tomatoes, chopped, in heavy juice "Irregular cut premium tomatoes with larger chunks up to 2" in size". That would make sense as we've seen mark just pull a chunk of tomato out of a freshly opened can and eat one. They would already be de-seeded and, for the most part, cores removed. Heavy juice also seems right as their "sauce" is kinda thin without regards to the chunks of tomato in it.
Is there any legal distinction in the food and nutrition world of rules between what would be "heavy juice" vs. puree? I'd never heard "heavy juice" used as a description before seeing that product but heavy juice or thin puree would be about the same to me. Not that I count for much.Loo
tcarlisle and Ed (vcb),You guys may well be right about the scale. However, at the time I was researching the Edlund scales, I saw that there were certain models, like the SR-2 (http://www.edlundco.com/pdf/PremierScales_Sheet_051409.pdf), that can handle up to five pounds of weight. I couldn't answer my own question with certainty because the Edlund model shown in the video was an older model and is not shown in the pdf document reference above (and in my earlier post). Peter
I'm pretty sure they purposely used an undersized scale just as a prop and to add a little dramatic effect of the pizza bottoming out the scale, and the measurement is quite meaningless.
The average weight of the six pizzas I got on mail order from Lou's (out of the pan) around 2lbs.
FLAVORMAN,I believe the video you meant to bring to our attention is the one at . If so, that is a video that has been discussed a few times before in this thread, along with the webpage you referenced in your post. Interestingly, however, it looks like the LouToGo Dough is no longer shown as being offered for sale on the Best of Chicago website, as member tcarlysle mentioned recently at Reply 1 at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,10552.msg93510.html#msg93510. Thinking back, I seem to recall that there was a date associated with the original offer for the LouToGo Dough. I think it was a March date. Maybe Malnati's is rethinking that product. The LouToGo Dough video has been around since Dec. 9, 2009 and has only had 978 views. Our members are perhaps responsible for a good number of those views .Peter

Per the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), students are guaranteed the following rights in regard to their education records.
The right to inspect and review education records. Students may request access to their education records maintained by any education official of the institution that is the keeper of the particular record. Education records do not include certain records such as sole possession records, medical records, certain employment records, and law enforcement records.
The right to seek to amend education records. Students may request that records considered inaccurate, misleading, or an invasion of privacy be amended or removed from their education records. Requests are submitted direct to the recordkeeper, but may be appealed to the Dean of Students. As a resolution to amending records, a student may document objections to a record in a written statement. The student's statement must be maintained by the recordkeeper for as long as the objectionable record is maintained, and disclosed whenever the objectionable record is disclosed.
The right to have some control over the disclosure of information from education records. Except where permitted by FERPA, the prior consent of the student is required for the University to disclose non-directory information about a student to a third party. Students may request that the University not disclose certain or all information from their education records. Requests to restrict the disclosure of information from education records must be submitted in writing to the Registrar's Office. These requests remain in effect until revoked in writing.
The right to file a complaint for an alleged violation of FERPA rights. Questions, issues, and other problems regarding the FERPA rights of students at CGU should first be referred to the University Registrar. Formal complaints for an alleged violation of rights under FERPA are filed in writing with the Family Policy Compliance Office, U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue SW, Washington DC 20202-5920.
In compliance with FERPA, the University designates the following personally identifiable information about a student as directory information: name; CGU e-mail address; degree/certificate program of study; concentration of study; dates of attendance; degrees, certificates, and honors received, including the conferral date; most recent previous institution attended; and photograph. Unless restricted by a student, directory information may be released to the public without the prior consent of the student.
The University permits access to specific student information by education officials with a legitimate educational interest. Education officials include CGU staff, faculty, and other individuals and entities designated by the University to perform its administrative, academic, supervisory, or other educational tasks and functions. Legitimate educational interest exists when an education official requires access to specific information about a student in order to accomplish a University-delegated task or function.
Education officials also include non-CGU entities such as certain members of the Claremont University Consortium and the National Student Clearinghouse.
As of January 3, 2012, the US Department of Education expanded the circumstances under which disclosure of education records--including Social Security Numbers, grades, and other non-directory information--may be permitted without the prior written consent of the student.
The US Comptoller General, the US Attorney General, the US Secretary of Education, and other state and local authorities may allow access to any third party designated by a federal or state authority for the purpose of evaluating a federal- or state-supported education program. Evaluation may relate to any proram that is "principally engaged in the provision of education," including early childhood education, job training, and any program that is administered by an education agency or institution.
In addition, federal and state authorities may allow access to education records to researchers performing certain types of studies, even if Claremont Graduate University objects to or has not initiated such research. Federal and state authorities must obtain certain use-restriction and data securities agreements from entities they authorize to access and receive personally identifiable information from education records. However, federal and state authorities are not required to possess or maintain direct control over those entities.
To facilitate the development of Statewide Longitudinal Data Systems (SLDS), state authorities may collect, compile, permanently retain, and share personally identifiable information from education records without the prior consent of the student. These data efforts may track student participation in education and other programs by linking personally identifiable information obtained from federal and state sources, including workforce development, unemployment insurance, child welfare, juvenile justice, military service, and migrant student records systems.
FERPA Records Restriction Form. Students who wish to restrict the disclosure of information from their education records must submit a FERPA Records Restriction Form to the Registrar's Office.
Authorization to Release Information from Student Education Records. Per FERPA, the prior written consent of the student is required for CGU to disclose non-directory information from a student's record. Students must complete the FERPA Authorization to Release Information from Student Education Records form and submit it to the Registrar's Office in order to request disclosures to individuals or entities who are not education officials as designated in CGU's Student Privacy/FERPA policy.
Questions regarding FERPA and the application of FERPA at CGU should be directed to the University registrar.

For decades, policymakers and program designers have gone on the assumption that large customers, particularly industrial facilities, are the best candidates for real-time pricing (RTP). This assumption is based partly on practical considerations (large customers can provide potentially large load reductions) but also on the premise that businesses focused on production cost minimization are most likely to participate and respond to opportunities for bill savings. Yet few studies have examined the actual price response of large industrial and commercial customers in a disaggregated fashion, nor have factors such as the impacts of demand response (DR) enabling
technologies, simultaneous emergency DR program participation and price response barriers been fully elucidated.
