Anthony Robles has his arm raised after winning the NCAA Div. I Wrestling Championships. Larry Slater photo.
TEMPE -- President Barack Obama announced his intent to appoint former Arizona State University wrestling standout Anthony Robles to the President's Council on Fitness, Sports and Nutrition, the White House Office of the Press Secretary announced via press release on Thursday.
Robles is currently an NCAA Wrestling Analyst and Expert at ESPN. Born with only one leg, Robles won the 2010-2011 NCAA individual wrestling championship in the 125-pound weight class, and was a three-time all-American.
His awards include NCAA Best Wrestler of the National Tournament in 2011, the Jimmy V Perseverance Award at the ESPN ESPYs, and the NFL Hispanic Heritage Leadership Award. He was inducted into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame in 2012. Robles earned his B.A. in business communications in 2011.
Following his graduation, Robles took up a career in motivational speaking, travelling across the country to share his story of perseverance in the face of his handicap.
The President's Council on Fitness, Sports and Nutrition was formerly the President's Council on Physical Fitness but was renamed by Obama in 2010 with a new emphasis on nutrition as an element of fitness.
The American government organization aims to "promote, encourage and motivate Americans of all ages to become physically active and participate in sport". It is part of the Office of Public Health and Science, an agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
The council is currently made up of co-chars Drew Brees and Dominique Dawes with councilmembers that include Dan Barber, Carl Edwards, Allyson Felix, Dr. Jayne Greenberg, Grant Hill, Billie Jean King, Michelle Kwan, Dr. Risa Lavizzo-Moure, Cornell McClellan, Dr. Stephen McDonough, Chris Paul, Curtis Pride, Donna Richardson Joyner and Dr. Ian Smith.

Remembrance Day
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Mark Assad Gatineau, QC
Mr. Speaker, this weekend, and more specifically on November 11, we have a duty to pay tribute to those who gave their lives and those who came back from war to build the country.
We are the heirs to the courage and determination of all Canadians who defended the values of peace and harmony throughout the world in the Korean War and in the two world wars. It falls to us to honour their memory and to keep alive the memory of their accomplishments.
On Remembrance Day, we tell veterans and their families once again how much we owe them for what they passed on to us.
Aboriginal Affairs
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Philip Mayfield Cariboo—Chilcotin, BC
Mr. Speaker, aboriginal people are speaking up. The First Perspective newspaper recently asked readers on-line "Do you trust your chief and council?"
They received numerous hits with the following results: yes, 13.6%; no, 77.3%; and maybe, 9.1%. The comments are even more illuminating. One example: "At first it was the white man giving us the shaft, and we could point our fingers at them and feel superior. But lo and behold, look behind you. Our own backyard seems to be gathering quite a bit of political garbage".
An aboriginal lady recently told me "When the business suits talk to us now, all that has changed is that there is brown skin in them instead of white".
The government has spent a lot of money to enhance the lives and circumstances of people on the reserves. Look at the result. The people most in need are still waiting.
Grassroots native people are fed up with mismanagement by their leaders. This must stop. The Liberal government must ensure accountable leadership which meets the needs of all people on reserves, not just the chiefs and band councils.
Job Creation In Quebec
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Réal Ménard Hochelaga—Maisonneuve, QC
Mr. Speaker, once again the Liberal prophets of doom across the country must be blushing.
Statistics Canada announced this morning that the unemployment rate in Quebec has dropped once again, and is now under the 10% level for the first time since September 1990. The good management of the Parti Quebecois has resulted in the best performance of the decade.
According to some people, having a federalist government in power would enhance the growth of employment, but that is not what the figures show.
From 1985 to 1994, the Liberals have done nothing but increase the unemployment rate in Quebec faster than the rate for the rest of Canada. The situation was only reversed once the Parti Quebecois came to office in 1994.
We have had enough demagoguery from the Liberals. Quebec is gradually recovering from the ravages caused by a submissive federalist government.
This coming November 30, the people of Quebec will show their confidence in a government that can stand up for itself.
Jacques Parizeau
Statements By Members
11:10 a.m.
Denis Coderre Bourassa, QC
Mr. Speaker, faithful soldier that he is, Jacques Parizeau makes it clear: the separation of Quebec remains the top priority of a separatist government.
Faithful soldier that he is, Jacques Parizeau does not like to see Lucien Bouchard artfully dodge the referendum question.
Faithful soldier Jacques Parizeau reminds Quebeckers that the ultimate objective of the Parti Quebecois is to separate Quebec from the rest of Canada.
For this faithful soldier, a vote for the PQ is a vote for the separation of Quebec from the rest of Canada.
Thank you, faithful Jacques Parizeau, whose candour gives us every reason to vote Liberal on November 30.
Francophone And Acadian Communities
Statements By Members
11:10 a.m.
Alexa McDonough Halifax, NS
Mr. Speaker, linguistic duality is a value that has deep roots in all parts of the country.
The francophone and Acadian communities symbolize these roots. For too long, these communities relied only on their vitality to grow.
The Official Languages Act made them grow faster. These communities have given themselves strong institutions. But the Liberals have cut funding for francophone organizations by 40%.
The Liberals can no longer ignore their obligations. They must reinvest to ensure the development of Canada's francophone and Acadian communities.
Election Campaign In Quebec
Statements By Members
11:10 a.m.
Robert Bertrand Pontiac—Gatineau—Labelle, QC
Mr. Speaker, the leader of the Parti Quebecois has had yet another change of heart.
He now agrees to return to the federal-provincial negotiating table to entrench in the Constitution the right to opt out with full compensation with respect to the social union pact made by the provinces.
How baffling, given that it is well known that separation is PQ leader Lucien Bouchard's top priority. Such expediency on the part of a leader who slurps at everyone's trough. How stylish of someone who boasts about knowing where he is going.
Let us be clear: a vote for the Parti Quebecois is truly a vote for Quebec's separation from the rest of Canada, a vote for another referendum.
Canadian Farmers
Statements By Members
November 6th, 1998 / 11:10 a.m.
Progressive Conservative
Mark Muise West Nova, NS
Mr. Speaker, farmers in West Nova are experiencing a second consecutive year of drought conditions. Records from the towns of Kentville and Greenwood indicate that rainfall was roughly 100 millimetres less than normal summer precipitation.
First cut yields of hay were down 50% and in many cases second yield was non-existent. These poor yields have resulted in economic hardship for our farming community. Many farmers will have to re-seed in 1999 to produce new growth. The cost of purchasing hay has skyrocketed because of this increased demand.
The recent closure of the Middleton grain elevator has left beef producers without access to a vital facility they use for drying and storing grain. These hardships have forced many producers to cull and sell calves that would normally be replacements. In extreme cases producers have been forced to sell out.
We can ill-afford to lose another farmer in my constituency. It is time for the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food to recognize the severity of this drought and immediately provide assistance to those most in need.
Remembrance Day
Statements By Members
11:10 a.m.
Paul Mercier Terrebonne—Blainville, QC
Mr. Speaker, on November 11, 1918, at 11 a.m., armistice was sounded along the hundreds of kilometres of trenches in France and Belgium separating the two enemy camps.
As they came out of the mud where they had been living for 50 months, millions of men, thousands of whom were Canadians and Quebeckers, breathed the fresh air of the fields without fearing they had drawn their last breath.
Then, in millions of homes, millions of women, including the woman that would become my mother, could watch the postman arrive without fearing he was bringing the fatal missive "Your husband, your fiancé, your son, died in combat".
These men returning from hell were convinced this war was the last. However, much later, they were to see some of their sons descend in turn into hell between 1939 and 1945, others in Korea, all defending the same causes—freedom and democracy.
May we never forget or let our children forget that what we take so much for granted, like the air we breathe, we owe to the sacrifice of these men and women.
Statements By Members
11:10 a.m.
Janko Peric Cambridge, ON
Mr. Speaker, this morning Statistics Canada issued its labour force survey for October, showing a 2.3% increase in employment. This brings the unemployment rate down to 8.1%, its lowest level in eight years.
New jobs were created in the manufacturing, construction, health and social services, financial, insurance, real estate, transportation, storage and communications sectors.
These latest numbers prove that the Liberal government's fiscal and economic policies are working for the benefit of all Canadians.
Statements By Members
11:15 a.m.
Progressive Conservative
Gerald Keddy South Shore, NS
Mr. Speaker, Port Saxon in Shelburne County will lose 25 jobs in December this year when Acadia Seaplants relocates to Cornwallis Park. This relocation is occurring because of a $1 million loan from the federally funded Cornwallis Park development and a $750,000 interest free loan from ACOA.
When the new plant is operational it will create 32 jobs. However, 25 jobs are already in Shelburne County so the net gain of jobs is only 7. This is a wrong approach to job creation.
It is worth stating that the cost of these seven jobs is $1.7 million. Surely this is not a good investment. Plus the loss of the 25 jobs in Port Saxon, Shelburne County, is a serious blow to the economy of Shelburne County as the economy is already reeling and has been ravaged by the downturn in the ground fishery.
Employment Insurance
Oral Question Period
11:15 a.m.
Grant McNally Dewdney—Alouette, BC
Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister is gouging Canadians by overcharging them $350 a year in employment insurance taxes. He is slapping businesses with $500 in extra taxes per year per worker, but the real stunner is that he did not even know if he had been paying that same EI tax himself for the past 35 years.
If men are from Mars and women are from Venus, just which planet is the Prime Minister from? Would it be Pluto?
Employment Insurance
Oral Question Period
11:15 a.m.
The Speaker
I do not know what that has to do with industry, but if the hon. parliamentary secretary wishes to address himself to the comment I will let him.
Employment Insurance
Oral Question Period
11:15 a.m.
Stoney Creek
Tony Valeri Parliamentary Secretary to Minister of Finance
Mr. Speaker, I remind the House that the hon. member who asked the question does not pay EI premiums either. As far as what planet, I am not sure the question came from anywhere in this stratosphere.
Let me deal with the facts. Since 1994 each and every year we have reduced EI premiums. Our payroll premiums are lower than those in the United States, our largest trading partner. We will continue this debate. No decisions have been made. We will continue to focus on Canadian priorities.
Employment Insurance
Oral Question Period
11:15 a.m.
Grant McNally Dewdney—Alouette, BC
Mr. Speaker, I was aware that I was not paying EI premiums. I would have hoped that the Prime Minister of the country would have known the same thing.
The Canadian Federation of Independent Business, the Canadian Manufacturers' Association and the Retail Council of Canada all say that the Prime Minister's extra EI tax is killing jobs.
Could the Prime Minister or any member of the government name one small business in the country that wants to pay an extra $500 per employee per year?
Employment Insurance
Oral Question Period
11:15 a.m.
Stoney Creek
Tony Valeri Parliamentary Secretary to Minister of Finance
Mr. Speaker, I will continue to say that we will reflect Canadian priorities. The EI question is part of that mix.
When Canadians come before the finance committee in the prebudget consultations they ask us to take a balanced approach. They ask us to invest in Canadian priorities. They ask us to deal with the tax system we have in the country. They ask us to reinvest in health care.
If what the hon. member is actually advocating is for us to completely reduce EI premiums, as he is requesting, he is really telling us to go back into deficit, and the government will not do it.

I think Hatton is overrated and I'm sticking by it. I haven't seen him fight a lot but when I have, I'm not impressed. Sure he has a great record and KO percentage but has he really beat anyone really good while they were in their prime oe even close to it for that matter?
He can't hang with the top tier at welterweight. I still challenge someone to name someone better than him at 140 though.
Before this fight he beat Kosta Tszyu, Collazo, Urango, and Castillo all at that weight. Not world beaters, but not total meatballs either.
I'm anxious to see his next couple fights. How he rebounds from this loss will define his career. At least to American fight fans.

Wedding Anniversary Celebration in Sunriver
Thank you to John and Debra Roche for sending this testimonial of their recent trip to Sunriver Resort celebrating their 20th wedding anniversary. We look forward to seeing you for the 25th!
"My wife and I, with friends and family from Arizona, celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary in Sunriver on June 29th. The week we spent at 9 Aspen Lane will forever be remembered as the best vacation of our lives.
The home was absolutely perfect in size, amenities and location. The deer wandering through in the AM were a recurring and welcome sight. It was quiet, for the most part, and the home was very warm and inviting. There were many personal touches provided by the staff that we also enjoyed upon our arrival. High-speed Internet service allowed me to keep tabs on my business and made the week worry free.
The visit was highlighted by a fabulous dinner at the Lodge, which repeated the 1st anniversary dinner we had when we lived in Bend. Things have changed a lot in Bend over the past decades, yet we found Sunriver to be mostly unchanged in its charm. The golf course was in marvelous shape, and there is nothing quite like facing the mountains at the driving range. Again, the golf staff were excellent and I now wear a Sunriver Resort cap whenever I play golf, as do my 2 brothers.
Our son was able to spend a day with us, and he much enjoyed his day of fly fishing after a week of snowboarding at Timberline. The house was truly a home for all of us for that week and I couldn't have been any more satisfied with it. Even the supply of bicycles was a welcome sight, as we took advantage of the paved paths throughout the resort.
The many pictures we took during the week now rotate across my computer desktop – continually reminding me of our 20th anniversary celebration. We are looking forward to repeating the experience in 2015."

So he is going to try and do this through EO and the EPA? Won't it have to be called something besides a tax?...a fee?
Forget that fat old white cracker Santa Claus. Barak is the new Santa Claus, and he don't need no dirty chimney.
Harry Reid is a one man wrecking crew when it comes to constitutional government. Benedict Arnold-Marx Reid.
Dear Lord, How in the world will I be able to keep the curse words at a minimum for the next four years? Please help me.
Maddie 10
Takes money from the rich and gives it to the richer, while the rest of us suffer when what is left of the free market adjusts by raising prices on everything.
The House is led by Boehner. Need we say any more. Boehner is setting up the GOP to roll over on everything. He hasn't got the guts to face down Reid or Obama.
A courageous House speaker would pass spending bills one by one and dare the Senate to kill them. A separate bill for Defence. A separate bill for Healthcare. A separate bill for social security. Etc., etc. A line item veto in reverse. Start with the departments that are most important to Republicans and tell Obama and Reid that the next spending bill won't be debated in the House until the first one is passed and signed into law.
also heard from little Robert Reicht that a middle income tax will come and come soon...obama will do nothing less..so get ready Middle Class...
so guess I need to get rid of TV...nothing new on...
"When do we meet in Boston to start the rebellion? It only seems fitting to begin the fight where are ancestors did."
Given that the Bostonites have elected Fauxa-haunted-us, and also kept Dead Ted in office for years, seems we'd first have to destroy that den of idiots in order to save them.
I have no respect any longer for New England.
Carbon tax, International Arms Treaty, global internet tax...
How exactly would the President convince the House to vote for such a tax?
"A courageous House speaker would pass spending bills one by one and dare the Senate to kill them. A separate bill for Defence. A separate bill for Healthcare. A separate bill for social security. Etc., etc. A line item veto in reverse. Start with the departments that are most important to Republicans and tell Obama and Reid that the next spending bill wont be debated in the House until the first one is passed and signed into law."
Perfect! Love it! Won't happen, unfortunately.
It's so easy to despise the central socialist obama regime!
See earlier post about the 2009 Carbon bill. They'd use an already existing piece of legislation and would interpret the ability to levy taxes from it.
Completely banana republic, which is what a majority of voters indicated they want this past Tuesday.
It beats me why the HR has not shut down this administration already just by withdrawing funding since they have to approve such funding.
So what if the Dems try to blame HR for shutting down the government, they do it all the time NOW.
..... if there are any House "staffers" watching FR, trot over to Boehnr's office and tell him to just say NO to any funding for the Exec branch save for what is absolutely necessary to keep people alive.
BTW...if there are any Freepers out there who can explain to me what precludes the HR from withdrawing funds from ANY branch of Govt...I would like to hear it....esp since there hasn't been an official budget for almost 4 years.
And every good would be more expensive!
Yes, maybe the media would blame the rich oil companies, and Obama would end up giving away money to "the poor" to help them with the costs.
But I do think the public would begin to catch on. Maybe hopelessly naive given Tuesday's results. In any event, the runaway spending will end, one way or another. Probably in an ugly way, but it will end.
If Congress does pass a bill, I'll bet John Roberts finds a way to legitimize it. If you want to blame one person for Obama's reelection, blame him. I hope he's happy that he singlehandedly dismantled our republic. However, Obama will probably just do it with executive fiat, the way he's done so many other times, or get the unelected EPA to issue an "order".
Yes. but, you don't need to be that courageous to do this, it is logical and within their practical power. Start parsing out legislation and fixing one department/issue budget at a time, and pass lots of it. Set the agenda Republican House because if you just stand there and play defense you will get booted out in 2 years.
It won't be easy. But we have to be eternally vigilant.
The House is led by Boehner. ............etc.....He hasnt got the guts to face down Reid or Obama.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Is the vote for Speaker open or closed?
Does one need 50+% or just enough to win?
Thought I had heard once before that they have to be 'careful' because the Speaker could be of the other party?
Anyway, maybe if the sitting Congressmen were put on notice - either get rid of this jerk or lose your own seat...
It is about time the the VOTERS flexed their muscles, some of these clowns get into office and FORGET they represent US, not themselves or special interests.
Does it apply to the CO2 coming out of Chris Matthews' mouth? If so the deficit should be gone by next Christmas.
The 2009 Carbon Tax Bill is a House passed piece of legislation. It was passed in 2009.
Correcting my comment above, what would happen is Reid would put it up for a vote in the Senate, where it would pass. This is why he's going to restrict the use of the filibuster. Once passed it would be signed by Obama.
Scary stuff. How many bills failed in the 2007 to 2011 Dem controlled House that could be ressurected and passed in this manner???
If it is "existing" legislation, why is not an Act?
I find no evidence of it yet.
and you watch- Fox news WILL NOT hardly even mention the FACT that it's a tax o nthe middle class nor will they confront hte president and ask him why he is levying this crippling tax on the middle class-
It was proposed as an alternative to an actual direct carbon tax.
I can find no other proposed act that specifies a direct carbon tax.
Carbon Tax? I guess I'll have to do the crossword puzzles in ink instead of pencil.
That's how they forced OBAMACARE on us.
I'm no expert, but it's my understanding from way back in my high school civics days that a bill that hasn't been passed by both houses of congress dies at the end of that congressional term and would have to be started from scratch. So therefore, any carbon bill passed by the house in 2009 would have died after when that congress ended and the next congress took over in 2011.
It is my belief that carbon trading is the reason O was pushed into the White House. It is a trillion dollar scam of the millenium. Between carbon tax, and carbon permits, and carbon credits, you have a means of total control and a fire-hose stream of money.
With that much power and that much money on the line, they will keep coming back until they get it. Any pretext is good enough.
HSBC? What do they know except how to commit fraud?
Guess I can buy some land with trees and get paid not to cut them down.
There's another name for it: theft.
Obama can't "levy" squat. Taxes have to come from Congress.
They'll just pass a law saying the House vote is only a guideline and not mandatory to pass a new law. It will got to the Supreme Court and they'll agree.
The trees were already being planted to replenish stocks that were cut down for wood. They were also sold for their carbon offset value. If they were sold multiple times it would be no surprise.
The whole program only makes sense in lala land.

An American Classic
An American icon, the small-town diner is a treasured part of history across the country. In business for over 60 years, one such gem is the Jerry's Restaurant chain. This chain needed a little face lift to update its appearance in preparation for the next 60 years! The design concept for Jerry's was "An American Classic." While each diner site is unique, by creating an integrated design using classic diner elements, these were able to be applied throughout the chain. A new color palette of red, gold, soft green and black provided a sharp backdrop to showcase stainless steel backsplashes, new stainless lighting fixtures, and framed photos of classic diners from across the country. Black boards, strong graphics, commercial-grade striped wall covering and new decals spruced up these older buildings with a fresh and exciting feel. Done on a shoe string budget with the owner and his wife hanging wallpaper and photos, the homestyle feel is not just for show-it's an American Classic.

Somebody Needs to Buy HP, Now
The public investor doesn't value it. Dell may be down but it's not broke. It still makes money. It has operations around the world and is re-focusing on cloud computing and computer services. It has growth prospects.
By taking his company private Dell can focus on those growth prospects without worrying about quarterly earnings, and without having to talk to people like me ever again. Many of our greatest companies are privately held, Forbes notes, from Cargill to Mars to Bechtel. With annual sales of $60 billion, Dell would be number three on the 2012 Forbes list.
Rival Hewlett-Packard's (HPQ) reaction to this was a big nyaah-nyaah-nyaah, telling ComputerWorld confidently it's going to steal a bunch of Dell's customers due to all this "uncertainty."
But if any company on the planet should be concerned about a private equity takeout, it's HP.
While the equity value of Apple (AAPL) and Microsoft (MSFT) is more than twice their annual sales, and that of Google (GOOG) nearly five times more, HP's equity is worth barely more than one-quarter its annual sales. That's worse than retailers Target (TGT) and Costco (COST) . It's worse than Dell.
Quartz reports that some on HP's board are now considering breaking the company apart , and HP management told Business Insider last month it might unload some weaker divisions.
The trouble is, HP is nothing but weak divisions.Jon Xavier of Silicon Valley Business Journal recently ticked off the company's weak sisters and found himself listing the whole company.
There is value in HP, even if it's breakup value. Like an NBA team with expiring contracts, it can dump salary in the form of losses others could write off.
The company's official turnaround strategy, from an October press release , is to focus on cloud technology, data security and something called "information optimization." Mostly it's about using software to sell hardware, which is what Oracle (ORCL) is doing. Only Oracle's database software is essential to its customers in ways HP's software simply isn't.
Speaking of Oracle, it is just one of several rivals that now have the power to buy HP, sell off the stuff that doesn't work and pocket the rest. Oracle's market cap is $167 billion, Microsoft's is almost $230 billion, IBM's (IBM) is almost $227 billion. Contrast that with HP's $33.5 billion.
If Oracle bought HP, it would instantly go from a company with $37 billion in annual sales to one with almost $160 billion in annual sales. It would have networking and data servers to add to its clusters, scaled manufacturing, real clouds, and a presence in consumer markets. It would suddenly be bigger than IBM.

LONDON -- A team from the USA made up of high school athletes from across America have arrived in the U.K. and are set to compete in the world famous Rosslyn Park HSBC National Schools Sevensthis week. The under 18 team even received a warm-up training session from Ben Gollings, former England Sevens Captain and HSBC ambassador, before their debut in the tournament on Thursday (March 29).
The High School All-American Sevens team have been selected by coaches from across the United States to represent USA Rugby at the world's largest schools rugby sevens festival, the Rosslyn Park HSBC National Schools Sevens and have flown over especially to take part in the week long tournament in which over 7,000 athletes annually compete.
The squad arrived at the tournament yesterday for a warm-up session and were greeted by former England Sevens Captain Ben Gollings and the leading point's scorer on the HSBC Sevens World Series, who took the team through their paces during an exclusive coaching clinic at the tournament.
Salty Thompson, Head Coach of the High School All-Americans commented: "We're here in the UK for the next two weeks giving the boys a flavor of both sevens and fifteens rugby during our stay. We have wanted to compete at this tournament for a while, so to be here now is fantastic. Getting the chance to train with Ben as well has been amazing; it's always a pleasure meeting great players and for the team to train with Ben was brilliant."
"They looked very sharp out there..." said Gollings of the HSAA7s during the training session.
Nu'u Aiava, captain of the High School All American team said: "This opportunity means a lot to us over in the States. We don't often get the chance to compete against teams in other countries so this opportunity is amazing for us. We had great fun with Ben, and now we're looking forward to seeing how we do against all the other teams competing here in the tournament."
Ben Gollings added: "It just goes to show how international the Rosslyn Park HSBC National Schools Sevens is. For a team to come over from America and take part this week is fantastic for them and for the tournament. They looked very sharp out there so I hope they do well in the tournament and get off to a good start when they start their campaign on Thursday."
The HSAA7s team kicks off against Welsh team Ysgol Dyffryn Taf (3:20 a.m. MT) and will play Lycee Francais Charles de Gaulle (4:40 a.m. MT), Nottingham H.S. (6:20 a.m. MT), and King Edward VI Grammar School, Chelmsford (7:20 a.m. MT) on Thursday March 29. Updates available via Twitter(@usaeaglesrugby) and USARUGBY.ORG.

12 condiment substitutions that will make you instantly healthier.
We've already explored 23 insanely easy ways to eat healthier every day. Here, we offer 12 additional healthy tricks you can put up your sleeve. With even more nutrition wisdom in your arsenal, you'll stave off weight gain and slash calories, sodium and sugar from your diet without even noticing it. Instead of: Syrup Try: Protein glaze [caption id="attachment_120068" align="alignnone" width="493"] Photo by thetalkingkitchen.com[/caption] This favorite pancake topper is loaded with sugar, and even the �lite� or �sugar-free� versions are packed with artificial sweeteners. Swap the sugar for protein by making your own delicious glaze using chocolate- or vanilla-flavored protein powder (see this recipe for inspiration).�Best of all, this glaze will taste great on plenty of other food besides pancake. Instead of: Sriracha Try: Cayenne pepper [caption id="attachment_120071" align="alignnone" width="493"] Photo by ecorazzi.com[/caption] Unfortunately, the hottest condiment of the minute is pretty high in sodium and added sugar (the same is true for other hot sauces). If you�re trying to manage your sriracha addiction or cut down on hot sauce in general, swap out the sauce for cayenne pepper. Instead of: Tartar sauce Try: Tzatziki sauce [caption id="attachment_120072" align="alignnone" width="493"] Photo by judicialpeach.com[/caption] While it may taste great with fish, tartar sauce isn�t doing anything good for your waistline, as it is high in calories and fat. Substitute tzatziki or cucumber sauce, or make your own tartar sauce using plain nonfat Greek yogurt as a base. Instead of: Mustard Try: Homemade mustard [caption id="attachment_120067" align="alignnone" width="493"] Photo by designsponge.com[/caption] Out of all the condiments, you could do worse than mustard since it�s low in calories and fat. However, it does have a lot of sodium, so if you�re trying to cut down on your sodium intake, try making your own healthy mustard or adding a little turmeric to your dishes. Instead of: Non-dairy coffee creamer Try: Half-and-half [caption id="attachment_120073" align="alignnone" width="477"] Photo by blogs.ext.vt.edu[/caption] It�s easy to throw some powdered creamer in your morning mug of Joe or grab the little creamer cups sitting on the counter of the office kitchen without thinking. However, these non-dairy creamers are chemical cocktails made of partially hydrogenated oils and sugars or artificial sugars. Reach for half-and-half instead, or try coconut or soy milk. Instead of: Store-bought Marinade Try: Lemon juice [caption id="attachment_120074" align="alignnone" width="493"] Photo by whatscookinwithmary.blogspot.com[/caption] Depending on the brand, bottled marinades can be quite high in sodium, and they�re often made with artificial chemicals. Marinate meat in lemon juice, orange juice, or even wine before cooking, or try a spice rub to add the flavor you crave. Instead of: Soy sauce Try: Coconut aminos [caption id="attachment_120069" align="alignnone" width="493"] Photo by theclothesmakethegirl.com[/caption] Soy sauce is ridiculously high in sodium � a single tablespoon can contain more than a third of the recommended daily value. Replace it with coconut aminos or try making your own at-home soy sauce if the aminos aren�t in your food budget. Instead of: Horseradish sauce Try: Real wasabi paste [caption id="attachment_120075" align="alignnone" width="493"] Photo by gimmesomeoven.com[/caption] On its own, the root horseradish isn�t actually bad for you at all. However, horseradish sauce is loaded with other ingredients that make it pretty high in fat and sodium. Switch it out for real wasabi paste, another super-popular condiment originating in Japan. Instead of: Store-bought BBQ sauce Try: Homemade BBQ sauce [caption id="attachment_120066" align="alignnone" width="493"] Photo by primallyinspired.com[/caption] A staple of the summer cookout condiment table, barbecue sauce is high in sodium and added sugar. Since many like to douse their burgers and sandwiches in the sauce, so you�d be well advised to replace it with a healthy homemade version, such as this recipe here. Instead of: Salt Try: Various spices [caption id="attachment_120076" align="alignnone" width="493"] Photo by spicyvines.com[/caption] Salt has been used since the beginning of time to flavor and preserve food. Sadly, a single teaspoon of salt contains more than 2,300 mg of sodium � almost 100% of the daily recommended value. Check out the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute�s complete guide to different spices and seasonings that can be substituted for salt. Instead of: Sugar Try: Raw honey [caption id="attachment_120077" align="alignnone" width="493"] Photo by littleecofootprints.com[/caption] We all know that sugar is terrible for us despite its wonderful taste, and that artificial sweeteners are even worse thanks to all the fake chemicals they�re made with. To still get that sweet flavor, swap out sugar and artificial sweeteners for raw honey, or try non-GMO stevia brands. Instead of: Regular relish Try: Lacto-fermented relish [caption id="attachment_120078" align="alignnone" width="493"] Photo by salixisme.wordpress.com[/caption] Ordinary store-bought relish tends to be high in sodium and sugar thanks to a vinegar-based pickling process. Exchange it for a lacto-fermented relish such as Bubbies, which will give you an extra probiotic boost thanks to the fermentation. This article originally appeared as on Spry Living

Dog grooming can not only make your pet look better, it also plays an important role in his pet health. To make sure your groomer is right for the job, here are some tips on what to look for when browsing services in your area.
Can I groom him myself?
You may be wondering if you can save money by grooming your pet yourself. For some this may be an option, but remember that if your dog has hair, you'll likely need to use scissors, which can be dangerous if you aren't confident in what you're doing. Professional groomers have equipment that keeps the dog in place and the skill to make sure they don't injure the dog. However, if you are only thinking about brushing or washing your dog, you should be able to easily take on these tasks on your own.
Location and price
Should you decide to go the professional route, you'll need to find a location that is near your home and within your budget. However, make sure that you don't compromise quality for price. If at any point you feel that the groomer's establishment is unprofessional or could in any way endanger your dog, then you should move on and find somewhere else.
When touring the location, make sure it has all of the necessary accommodations for your pet. This means a large bath tub for washing your dog, collars that will help keep your pet steady while being trimmed and crates where your canine can be held when he's not being groomed.
Interviewing the groomer
Before you schedule your dog's first appointment, ask to speak with the groomer. He or she should be able to answer any questions you ask and demonstrate expertise and kindness. You want to make sure that your dog will be happy in this environment, and that he will be able to form a positive relationship with the groomer. You should also ask your groomer if he or she knows how to spot ticks on dogs, as these are often discovered during grooming sessions. Also ask about the shampoo he or she uses to make sure it is meant specifically for dogs, and inquire about the brush he or she will use to remove any tangles or mats in your dog's hair.

Full Title: Central and (South-)Eastern European Languages
Short Title: LREC 2010 Workshop
Date: 23-May-2010 - 23-May-2010
Location: La Valleta, Malta
Contact Person: Cristina Vertan
Meeting Email: cristina.vertan
Web Site:
Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics
Call Deadline: 22-Feb-2010
Meeting Description:
LREC 2010 Workshop on Exploitation of Multilingual Resources and Tools for
Central and (South-) Eastern European Languages
23rd May 2010, La Valleta, Malta
organised in conjunction with LREC 2010 Conference
(17-23 May 2010, La Valleta, Malta)
The reconciliation of differences in the availability of language resources and
tools for more intensively and less intensively spoken languages has been the
main concern of several European initiatives. Central and (South-) Eastern
European languages can be the subject of a case study in that respect:
integration of diverse languages into a broad language community.
The main result of these initiatives was the increased production of language
resources and especially language technology tools for Central, Eastern and
Southern European languages in recent years. While monolingual systems have
achieved performances comparable to those for intensively studied languages,
still a lot of work has to be invested in multilingual tools for applications
such as machine translation or cross-lingual information retrieval.
Call for Papers
We are looking for submission of original, unpublished work related to Central
and (South)-Eastern European languages in the following areas:
- Automatic identification of comparable or parallel corpora
- Extraction of linguistic knowledge from comparable or parallel corpora
- Improvement of statistical methods with knowledge extracted from comparable or
parallel corpora
- Domain adaptation of statistical methods in multilingual context
- Multilingual systems involving Central, Eastern and Southern European languages
- Production, management and interfacing of knowledge bases including Central,
Eastern and Southern European languages
- Machine translation for Central, Eastern and Southern European languages
New! Special track on machine translation
A special track will be dedicated to machine translation for Central and
(South-)Eastern European languages. The main goal of this track is to sum up
linguistic particularities of these languages, which are challenges for an
MT-System. In this respect we are encouraging submission of papers analysing the
translations of the test data at
in any of the languages referred to as Central or (South-) Eastern European.
Authors can use any on-line, open-source or commercially available system. The
source language is English. Papers submitted under this track should discuss
evaluation criteria specified at
Accepted papers (both main session and special track) will be published in
workshop proceedings. We intend to publish revised versions of the papers in a
volume in LINCOM Series. Demonstrations of existing systems are also welcome.
Submission Details
Submissions have to be made through the START system of the main LREC conference
Contributors should submit a PDF file no longer than 10 DIN-A4 pages. The
formatting details should follow the LREC conference formatting details at
. Papers will be
blind reviewed by minimum 3 members of the Programme Committee.
When submitting a paper from the START page, authors will be asked to provide
essential information about resources (in a broad sense, i.e., also
technologies, standards, evaluation kits, etc.) that have been used for the work
described in the paper or are a new result of their research.
For further information on this new initiative, please refer to:
New Important Dates
Deadline for paper submission: 22 February 2010

As it currently stands, version 1.09 does not work in IE9 beta which was just released.
Just in case it doesn't work in the final version either, we've implemented a fix in the
latest development version. There will be a new release some time in the near future.
Meanwhile, there are also a few ways to fix your site without having
to update your cufon-yui.js. See here for details.
You might also want to take this opportunity to try Typekit, a hosted,
@font-face-based alternative. Yes, that means they support text
selection. It's the easiest way to embrace standards.
On Windows, you may first have to copy the font file out of the Fonts folder and paste it elsewhere in order to be able to select it.
Currently only TrueType (TTF), OpenType (OTF), Printer Font Binary (PFB) and PostScript fonts are supported. Files are disposed of immediately after conversion.
Useful if you're using multiple variants of the same font (bold, italic etc). Sometimes they may have slightly different family names, which may lead to unexpected behavior.
See Fonts and the Law at fontembedding.com for more information.
Fonts produced by the following foundries/vendors/creators are known to be safe:
Adobe Systems.
The following are known to require separate or extended licenses for Web Embedding:
Berthold (separate),
FontFont (separate),
Fontsmith (separate),
Hoefler & Frere-Jones (separate),
ITC (separate),
Linotype (extended).
Utilizing this feature is highly recommended, and may even be required if you're using commercial fonts.
Separate multiple domains by either commas or spaces. You can also use wildcards (e.g. *.example.org to cover all subdomains of example.org). Using a font that doesn't match any of the allowed domains results in no text showing up.
A lower value (64 at minimum) results in slightly better performance and smaller file size at the cost of accuracy. Values lower than 256 are not recommended unless you are OK with visible loss of detail. You may also use the optimal scaling chart to find a suitable scaling value. Native values in quality fonts are usually either 1000 or 2048.
It's recommended to disable this feature if you're planning to use small font sizes.
You should keep this value fairly low, at about 0.5-1% of the font's em-size. Optimizations are performed after the font has been scaled (if at all).
Also, try to make sure your server serves gzipped JavaScript. 70-80% drops in file size are not unheard of.
Cufón is distributed under the MIT license. By using this tool you agree to its terms.
Should you require help you may ask for it at our Google Group, but keep
in mind that you are in no way entitled to support, which means that even if you do not
get a satisfactory answer you may not complain about it. Nice people are more likely to
get helpful answers.
I acknowledge and accept these terms

Compare great Proton Water Pump prices in London with Who Can Fix My Car.
Excellent service, another happy customer!
Very impressed with Patrick and his garage. Keeps you up to date with everything. Very professional. A very trustful and knowledgable mechanic who I shall be recommending to friends and family. . . . Looks like I've found myself a new mechanic for me and my wife's car!
I had a problem with very bad shaking at speed. Patrick picked up the car at the agreed time and confirmed the diagnosis was the passenger side front caliper causing the breaks to stick after warming up. Kept me updated with every development, which I really liked. Quoted me a price to replace the relevant parts, including brake service, and sorted the issue the same day. The car drives like new now. Patrick knows his stuff, is very customer focused, and I would recommend him to absolutely anyone. He'll be the first person I call when I have any future issues. A credit to his trade. Thanks.
Very friendly, brilliantly flexible service, made the whole experience stress-free. Will be recommending and using again.
Patrick did a fantastic job. He was polite and knowledgable and the work was done to a very high standard and delivered back quickly. Would highly recommend and deal with again. Thanks
Helpful feedback about car. Fully explained. Liked that they contacted me on Sunday and work done Monday. All done as promised
Amazing value! Top quality parts, less than half the price for clutch replacement that ford quoted. Extreamly pleased with the service and friendliness. Thank you!
I am impressed with the service. The job has been performed on time including other defects corrections. Very reliable garage. Well done.
excellent service, very very pleased. Will definitely be going back again for service/mot next year.
Great service for a small garage. Advised in advance that an additional part was required costing £14. Also sent me photos of new parts and showed me old parts when I collected the car. Friendly & very informative.
This is the best garage for customer service and value for money. They have certainly been the best I have used so far. If you are looking for someone to fix your car in and around London, please GML Auto mechanic is the best. I am certainly going back to this garage next time I have any issues and I will seriously recommend them to anyone requiring their services. Great fantastic quick service changed my Jaguar's clutch plus a year's warranty or 10,000 miles wow! that is great value for money !!
Finally have found a decent Garage. Nina was a pleasure to deal with. Polite and welcoming. Dropped car off at 9am for Cambelt replacement and waterpump and was ready by 2 pm . Great service no messing about and very well priced. This will definitely be my regular Garage . Thanks Guys see you soon .
Great place to fix your car. Everything went smoothly and they went the extra mile. Clutch fixed and flywheel. Will use their service again. Thank you!
Very good service from very nice persons. Everything was well organised and I have a detailed job done list at the end. Pleasure to have a busininess with them.
don't be put off by appearances, what a great family run friendly and professional team, you can't fault the service for a great price! Even when the job took longer they only charged what was agreed, no problems and will defiantly recommend and will be using them again! Coffee and cakes also provided by mum and daughter, no frills but old school garage, they do what they say and don't try and rip you off. Thanks Again.
Great service!!! Will be going back next time
Definitely recommend Ross motors! great value fast service and above all honest! You should use this garage for sure!
Good price and very helpful and professional.
Job finished on time for the agreed sum. Excellent customer service and value for money, I will definitely be back in the future and recommend Ross Motors to my friends and family.
Very happy, good service
Lee arrived on time, was very courteous and professional. He carried out the work extremely quickly and to a high standard. I will definitely call him again if i need a mechanic and highly recommend his services. Many thanks.
Excellent, prompt, friendly and professional service. Highly recommended
Very prompt and efficient service.
Great service. Lee was really responsive to all queries and messages, and able to fit us in quickly. He came when he promised - despite the snow - and the guys got straight on with it until the job was done. Price as exactly as quoted. We're very impressed. Many thanks!
terrific Job. Came on time, completed the Job quickly and efficiently.. I had 2 quotes for the same Job, his was £100 but the convenience of him coming to you and getting it done and the review of Lee made me go with him rather
Anthony did great job for a fair price. Next time I will definetely ring ahead to check he will be in the garage before setting out.
Perfect job without any additional cost. On time with the good price. One of my head light was not working. They fix it without any additional cost. Definitely I will use this garage in the future. Highly recommended.
Could Never Recommend this Garage - Agreed price was £50 for diagnosing issue. Then Anthony said he could recalibrate lock if he had an extra 3hrs. They closed in 30mins when I collected car he wanted £150. He said he recalibrated lock however it was gauranteed to fail! So why recalibrate? Started car no lights, worse experience ever..stay well clear.
a great friendly service, saved me over £800 on a main dealer quote by inspecting what needed to be replaced rather than fitting a new DMF along with the clutch kit as per the main dealer. contacted me about worn brakes also and quoted a very reasonable price. All the work was done to a high standard and on time ..

Do sin taxes stop the sinning?
Gov. Mark Dayton is proposing a 94 cent per pack increase in the state tax on cigarettes as part of his budget proposal this year. The increase would raise $370 million in new revenue, the governor says.
Tobacco and liquor taxes, commonly called "sin" taxes, are popular ways to raise taxes without much complaint. They are voluntary taxes – if you don't want to pay it, don't smoke, and don't drink. Anti-tobacco and anti-alcohol advocates agree with them because it encourages people to stop or reduce their consumption.
But do they really? We suppose at some point a really punitive tax on cigarettes, say $10 a pack, would put smoking beyond the financial reach of most people. And at that point, the state's take would drop.
The Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids points out government statistics that show the consumption of cigarettes in the U.S. has dropped considerably between 1970 and 2006, when federal and state tax increase drove the average price up above $4 a pack. Statistics show the number of young people who start smoking has dropped as well, which is a good thing.
But a study by RTI International, published last fall, indicates that in New York, which has one of the highest cigarette taxes in the nation, died-in-the-wool, nicotine-stained smokers tend to keep smoking, and lower-income smokers spend more of their income on tobacco the more the tax rises.
Certainly the tax induces many to quit, but there are still those who just can't quit. Many can't afford the nicotine patches and gum and other stop-smoking tools, any more than they can afford cigarettes.
If the state is going to ratchet up the tax on a pack of cigarettes, a portion of that revenue should be dedicated to helping the low-income smokers who can't quit on their own. It would be good for the state.

A certain percentage of Ciro's dough is whole wheat, correct? Does anyone know the percentage?
Marco, is Ciro open about his dough formula and process, and, if he is, could you share any of the details?
