Wayland Baptist University responded to the request of KBTC and entered into a partnership to provide college level studies for ministry students. In 2000, several students began their studies with Wayland Baptist University through this partnership. The only degree offered with this partnership was an Associate's Degree of Applied Science until 2006. With much prayer and help from Wayland Baptist University, the school introduced a fully-accredited Bachelor's Degree in Religion in 2006. In order to provide the needed courses, Wayland sends several professors to the Kenya campus each year. Dr. Vaughn Ross, professor of biological science for Wayland Baptist University in Plainview, is the main organizer of the alliance.
Wayland's Board of Trustees approved the first candidates for graduation in July 2003. Sixteen students received their Associate's of Applied Science Degrees. This first group (class 702) is now pursuing a Bachelor's Degree in Religion. Another group has recently been introduced to the program (class 703). Class 703 is now working toward their Associate's of Applied Science Degrees. Without the help of Wayland faculty who are willing to go to Kenya, the relationship of KBTC and Wayland Baptist University would not be possible.

EC135 to Serve Beijing 999 in Medical Role
Source: Airbus Helicopters
The 999 Emergency Rescue Center (999 Center), a subsidiary of the Beijing Red Cross Foundation, has signed a contract with Airbus Helicopters China for the purchase of one Airbus Helicopters EC135 P2e, with an option for another similar unit. The light twin-engine helicopter is scheduled to be delivered before the end of 2014, and will be China's first helicopter fully equipped to perform helicopter emergency medical services (HEMS) missions in the country. The EC135 P2e will be fully kitted out with medical systems and equipment from Bucher, the same provider for many established European HEMS operators. In addition, Airbus Helicopters will utilize their extensive experience and network to organize tie-ups and co- operation for 999 Center with leading European air rescue operators, to ensure a smooth and successful initiation of their HEMS operations.

French chefs weigh in on foie gras ban
While some chefs are finding ways around the state's foie gras ban, others are unwilling to take those risks – including two of Orange County's best-known French chefs.
"I am not serving it yet," said Florent Marneau, chef and owner of Marché Moderne in Costa Mesa. "For us it is not about breaking the law, it's about animal activists stalking us at our house and at the restaurant."
Marneau's South Coast Plaza restaurant has been called Orange County's best French bistro. That distinction makes him an easy target for animal rights organizations, whose members have demonstrated in front of his home, frightening his two young children, he said.
Protesters have waved posters accusing him of "murdering ducks" before his family, Marneau said.
"Can you believe it?"
He said activists should instead focus on "what we feed our kids in the U.S.," such as mass-produced foods, sodas and foods made with genetically altered corn.
Like Marneau, chef Pascal Olhats said he doesn't serve foie gras but supports those who do.
"I don't believe in the ban," said Olhats, chef and owner of Brasserie Pascal at Fashion Island. "I don't like the unfairness of a law that goes against our right to do something we're not doing wrong."
Supporters of the ban believe fattened duck liver results from animal cruelty. But opponents of the ban, mainly chefs, have argued that they should be able to obtain the French delicacy from humane suppliers. Many of those chefs, including Olhats, are members of the Coalition for Humane and Ethical Farming Standards. The group supports ethical treatment of animals and humane farming practices.
With the ban's one-year anniversary approaching, Olhats said he expects more California chefs to unite publicly against the law. As for him, he acknowledges keeping a personal stash at home.
"I've bought for myself to cook at home," he said. "I can't live without foie gras. I'm a French chef."

jgkojak wrote:Yes, he was treated fairly.
I don't see much evidence that before the White Album George was capable of producing more than he did -- certainly when called upon to fill in some gaps for Magical Mystery Tour he came up with arguably three of the weakest tracks in the Beatles catalog: Only A Northern Song, All Too Much and Blue Jay Way. It wasn't until the White Album that he began producing good stuff, though really only Not Guilty was left off. Let It Roll and All Things Must Pass were under consideration during Get Back/Abbey Road, but again, I'm not sure he had much more.
Also, it seems to me like he got his feelings hurt easily when his suggestions weren't taken (i.e. guitar phrasing on Hey Jude that was rejected), the infamous "I'll play what you want me to play" during Let It Be. I know some read this as Paul (or John) bullying but I don't-- a part of being a LEADER in a band is shouldering responsibility and knowing how to navigate/negotiate with bandmates, no different than in any workplace. John had his leadership qualities when he wanted to- Paul had a different leadership style but certainly kept his nose to the grindstone. I don't see that George ever really asserted himself - which includes taking responsibility - during sessions. If Paul said to the band "I've got 6 tracks ready to go, I got 'em, no worries" the entire team would think "great- he's got it under control"-- I doubt the same could be said for George, who seems to like to place a lot of blame/whine but doesn't want to stand up and be counted. I know its harsh, but that's really it.
And based on solo work, if I put all the Beatles work from 1970-1980 in a hopper and culled 10 14 song albums from the best stuff-- (hmmmm.... that could be fun... ) George would, in the end, have about 3 songs per album, about what he was doing in the Rubber Soul/Revolver era onward.
"Taxman" is a great song, period. "Love You Too" launches both raga-rock (which I an crazy about), and world music exploration. "I Want To Tell You" is a masterpiece pop song
jgkojak wrote:"Taxman" is a great song, period. "Love You Too" launches both raga-rock (which I an crazy about), and world music exploration. "I Want To Tell You" is a masterpiece pop song
Agreed- but Paul had to play the guitar solo on Taxman.
Likewise, George DOES have to step it up and put up or shut up. If he wanted an equal footing, then he should have brought in an equal number of songs. If he was too shy or too unsure of himself to do this- that's his problem-- John and Paul, at George's age (2 years younger) certainly did not lack confidence. If you can't stand up and be counted in a band and back it up with your material, then youre not going to be treated "fairly".

Smokey Club Eyes
I'm back with another FOTN. I wanted to share with you a look I wore recently for a night out with the girls. I went for a classic combination of smokey eyes and nude lips. You can't go wrong with this look...with a bit of modification it can look great on anyone.
To see my look, click here!
Even though I went for a basic look, I actually spent a lot of time on my makeup. I really concentrated on blending and making sure the look was really clean and polished. I also curled my hair. Mind you, all of this was after I had attended my city's local Beer Festival so this was after my much needed power nap to help me recover, lol. And guess what? We didn't even end up going out! Everyone pretty much passed out so here I was, left with a full face of hair and makeup. Thank goodness for this blog. I snapped a few pictures and felt that at least the effort didn't go to complete waste, lol.
Here's the look! Not sure what items I used unfortunately...
Hope you guys enjoyed! Stay tuned for another new video on Friday. Have you guys noticed the new difference with video quality? I've been using my new HD Camcorder on the highest HD setting along with the Vegas Pro Software and a new laptop. Let me know in the comments, I'd love to hear your feedback :)

Hey Ren. Even though you bought an HD camera, the quality doesn't show thru on YouTube. You need to make sure that you export using 1280x720 on Sony Vegas. Right now on YouTube, it doesn't show the numbers (360, 420, 720) which means your video isn't in HD. I hope that helps.

CrockPot Pumpkin Chili with Ground Beef, Black Beans, and Kidney Beans has been hugely popular on the blog. And my nephew Matt won a chili-making contest with this recipe!
Chocolate added to chili is a brilliant flavor pairing, and this version of Turkey and White Bean Chili with Chocolate was one of the first times I tried it. This chili also uses lean ground turkey instead of beef, and has white beans which go well with the turkey.
Does your family make chili for Superbowl Sunday? If you've got a favorite chili recipe, please share in the comments (links are welcome.)

Bruco Strong Eagle Eastwood is facing a variety of charges, including four counts of attempted murder, in the shootings last week at Deer Creek Middle School.
Eastwood, 32, a former student at the school, was advised Tuesday of the charges against him in Jefferson County Court.
Using humor, theatrics and great music, members of the troupe Inside the Orchestra taught King-Murphy Elementary School students about how orchestra music is not so different from the music they usually hear.
"Orchestra music has the same intensity and energy as hip-hop and rap," conductor Tom Jensen told the school-wide assembly Feb. 26. Some parts of the music are rough and some are smooth, some are quiet and some are loud, some are happy and some are sad.
Neighborhood groups said they felt better about the park district's upcoming community needs survey after hearing the board's response to their concerns at a park district board meeting Feb. 23.
After the Feb. 9 joint meeting with the Center for the Arts board, some neighbors were worried the parks board had already decided to go forward with the arts/community center, without regard for the results of the future community survey.
George Goldbach has decided not to run for another term as a member of the board of directors of the Evergreen Fire Protection District.
Goldbach was first elected to the board in Nov. 13 in the recall election as a replacement for former board president Phil Shanley. He ran uncontested in a polling-place election May 6, 2008, and was re-elected.
Two candidates for Senate District 16, which includes Evergreen and Clear Creek County, faced off at a candidates' night Feb. 25 at a Hiwan Country Club event sponsored by the Mountain Republican Women's Club.
Despite the icy roads and snow, about 75 people turned out to hear the two candidates, Tim Leonard of Evergreen and Mark Hurlbert of Breckenridge, work their way through about a dozen questions solicited from attendees.
Metal detectors are not the way to improve school safety — the answer is old-fashioned supervision, awareness and common-sense procedures like keeping unexpected visitors out of the building, said Kenneth Trump, president of National School Safety and Security Services of Cleveland.
Contacted Feb. 24, it was too early for Trump to have all the facts about the Deer Creek Middle School shootings, but he had some suggestions on what parents and school administrators can do to make schools safer.
A Democrat from Gilpin County has launched a campaign to succeed Democrat Dan Gibbs of Silverthorne, the incumbent state senator in District 16, who is not running for re-election.
Jeanne Nicholson, a Gilpin County commissioner who has lived in Gilpin County since 1979, announced her candidacy for the job on Feb. 27 at the El Rancho parking lot in Evergreen. Before Gibbs, the seat was held by Joan Fitz-Gerald, a Democrat from Coal Creek Canyon who became Senate president.
A 12-year-old Evergreen musician and acting prodigy gave up snowboards for surfboards and is finding his groove in Hollywood as a TV actor and singer in a boy band.
Jackson Odell has also been signed to a role in an upcoming movie based on the "Judy Moody" book series by Megan McDonald, his mother said.
Formerly a student at Rocky Mountain Academy and now being home-schooled, Jackson started out in the Evergreen Children's Chorale and decided he wanted to go into acting. He can sing, dance and play guitar.
The suspect in Tuesday's shooting at Deer Creek Middle School, 32-year-old Bruco Strongeagle Eastwood, was advised shortly after 11 a.m. Wednesday of a $1 million bond and the possible charges against him.
Eastwood could be charged with two counts of attempted murder in the shooting, which sent two students to local hospitals, critically injuring 14-year-old Matthew Thieu. Other charges may also be filed, though a spokeswoman for the Jeffco district attorney's office said she could not comment on any upcoming charges.
Fourteen-year-old Matt Thieu, the Deer Creek Middle School student critically injured in Tuesday's shooting, is recovering well and showed remarkably good spirits Feb. 26 during an exclusive interview at Children's Hospital. Thieu will likely be discharged and sent home by Saturday.
"It's getting tiring in here," Thieu told the Columbine Courier from his room at the hospital.

Suspect wanted in Duquesne double-homicide surrenders
Tyrone Coleman, Lawrence Short killed in shooting on Crawford Avenue
A man who's suspected of killing two people in broad daylight in a Duquesne neighborhood where residents and children were nearby has turned himself in.
Michael Robinson, 26, surrendered late Wednesday afternoon, according to police. He was being held in the Allegheny County Jail while awaiting arraignment.
Police said someone walked up to the victims, Tyrone Coleman, 18, of Duquesne, and Lawrence Short, 29, of Clairton, and opened fire at about 6 p.m. Monday on Crawford Avenue.
"It's a sad situation for you to come out and shoot in front of children," neighbor Jeff Wilker said. "It's sad just to shoot at all."
Also wanted is Glenn Smith, a 27-year-old Duquesne man who police said threw away a stolen gun during a foot chase when they tried to question him in the hours following the shooting. Police said he is charged with receiving stolen property, tampering with evidence and a weapons violation.
Anyone who sees Smith should call 911 immediately. Anyone who knows his whereabouts is asked to call county police at 412-473-1300. Anonymous calls will be accepted.
A motive for the shooting is "not exceptionally clear," according to a written statement from the county police.
Investigators said Short had been on their radar in the past as a known drug dealer. They said he was also involved with local rap group "Hardcore Entertainment."
County homicide detectives said Coleman was shot in the head. It's unclear if he was an intended target.
Wilker described Coleman as a "very innocent, very respectful young man. I know his grandma, his grandfather, his whole family."

Exit 59 ramp closed by accident
The Thruway ramp was closed Thursday morning for about three hours as the result of an accident. Around 7:40 a.m., a tractor trailer flipped while exiting the eastbound roadway at exit 59, the Dunkirk/Fredonia exit. Both the entrance and exit ramps were closed as firefighters freed the driver, Magdala Laguerre, 33, of Hillside, N.J., who was trapped in the cab. She was taken to Brooks Memorial Hospital for a wrist injury and bruises and contusions to the body. According to police, she may have been traveling too fast on the exit. Charges are pending.

Topic: Cron to update database
Hi everyone.
I am in the process of porting a site to rails. I am very happy with the overall result but I need some pointers with Ruby and with Rails to make my application more efficient.
So first things first.
The original site (written in php) runs a script as a cron job every night. This script reads a rather large flat file whith fields separated by | and imports it into a database table. My first attempt at the ruby script made use of Active Record but then I decided not to use it and rewrote the script:
use crumun_development;
truncate originals;
insert into originals (hoy,ship_cd,depart...-and alot more fields here -...promotion) values (
IO.popen("mysql -u root", 'w') {|io| io.puts SQL}
IO.readlines('file.txt').each do |line|
values = line.split(/\|/).collect {|field| "'#{field}'"}.join(",")
IO.popen("mysql -u root", 'w') do |io|
io.puts FIELDS + values + ")"
I then realized that opening a pipe and sending login info to mysql for every row in the file was redundant so I changed the script to:
mysql = IO.popen("mysql -u root", 'w')
mysql.puts SQL
IO.readlines('rssc2.txt').each do |line|
values = line.split(/\|/).collect {|field| "'#{field}'"}.join(",")
mysql.puts FIELDS + values + ")"
But then mysql complains: packet biggier than 'max_allowed_packet'. I know I can change this value (at least in theory) but I thought this was an excellent time to get some help.
How would you approach this? How could I improve the script so it takes the least possible time to process?

It would have been nice if some black and white street pictures had been included as well. B&W has been the aesthetic (and practical) choice of many street (as opposed to reportage) photographers, because especially in a street setting with random colors everywhere, B&W clarifies the intent of the image. This is not to say powerful color street photography is not possible. There are many who practice it-but the novice reading these pages might do well to give B&W a try as well.

UMES researchers lauded for work on new
epilepsy medication
– (May 1, 2014) – Two UMES researchers are among "Invention of the Year Award"
winners honored this week by the University of Maryland College Park's Division
of Research.
Dr. Patrice
Jackson-Ayotunde, an assistant professor of pharmaceutical sciences, and Dr.
Tawes Harper, a pharmacy program graduate, were recognized for their pioneering
work in 2013 on developing medication to treat epilepsy.
Epilepsy is a chronic
neurological disorder characterized by recurring seizures, which can be
debilitating. Some patients experience multiple episodes daily.
Research by
Jackson-Ayotunde and Harper focused on designing and producing novel
anticonvulsant analogs as potential agents for treatment of therapy-resistant,
partial epilepsy. They identified at least a dozen compounds that show
anti-epileptic properties in multiple animal models with limited-to-no-observed
"This (peer)
recognition means a lot," Jackson-Ayotunde said. "I'm passionate about the
research I do as a medicinal chemist, and working with students."
Her research already
has qualified for a provisional patent, but she noted that safely moving a
preliminary medicinal finding from the lab to the patient can take 15-to-20
"With the many hours spent in the lab –
working on potential agents – it's all about the patients suffering epilepsy.
The goal is to discover new effective and safe therapeutics that will give
epileptic patients a better quality of life," she said.
The College Park
campus' Office of Technology Commercialization (OTC) sponsors the annual
Invention of the Year Awards program, now in its 27th year. In 2013, it
received 154 nominations and from that group, 11 were chosen as finalists based
on their impact on science, society and market potential.
An independent panel of
judges singled out epilepsy research at UMES for special recognition along with
scientists whose projects included developing a better material for the 3D
printing of vascular implants, a technology that makes cloud (computing)
storage more secure and efficient, and a low-cost, high-energy solid state
lithium-ion battery.
Bobbi Donley, the OTC's
assistant director of administration, said, "Patrice's research was just so
impressive … we all agreed we had to do something to recognize her work."
Jackson-Ayotunde has
been doing epilepsy research for nearly 14 years dating back to her days as a
college student. She was inspired, in part, by a nephew who had a related
neurological disorder but has since grown out of it.
Earlier this year, the
American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy named her a "New Investigator
Award" winner, which included a $10,000 grant to help underwrite her ongoing
epilepsy research work.
"With the grant
funding," she said in January, "I hope to further my research in the area of
drug design and discovery – and continue to provide research opportunities for
undergraduate science majors and pharmacy students."
Harper, who graduated
in 2013, currently is a resident pharmacist at Lebanon (Pa.) Veterans Affairs
Medical Center. He is among 10 pharmacy students and two undergraduates who
have assisted Jackson-Ayotunde with her research since she joined UMES' faculty
in 2010.
A wide range of
treatments for epilepsy exist, but 25-to-30 percent of the nation's two million
epilepsy patients do not have complete control of their seizures, or they may
suffer severe side effects from anti-epileptic drugs.
That leaves a
significant portion of the population without adequate treatment and a great
need for the development of new treatments to help these patients. That's what motivates
Jackson-Ayotunde to be an educator-researcher.
The University of
Maryland created OTC in 1986 to provide expert guidance, support, and
assistance in safeguarding intellectual property, encouraging research,
facilitating technological transfer, and promoting collaborative research and
development agreements with industrial sponsors.

Senate Reform Act
Government Orders
1:55 p.m.
Kevin Lamoureux Winnipeg North, MB
Mr. Speaker, that is a very good point. In a nutshell, we would have figured the government would have conducted consultations.
With regard to the provinces conducting elections, under the bill that cost would be passed on to the provinces. The provinces would have to come up with the funding.
I was on the task force for the province Manitoba. In the dialogue we had with the Conservatives and the NDP, they insisted that Ottawa should pay for it, not the provinces. We can tell the government really has not done the consultation that one would have expected prior to introducing the bill to the chamber.
Senate Reform Act
Government Orders
1:55 p.m.
Peter Stoffer Sackville—Eastern Shore, NS
Mr. Speaker, I want to ask my colleague from Winnipeg to do one thing. He should go to a local tavern, legion or Lions Club in his riding, and without the assistance of Google, a BlackBerry or anything, sit down and ask the first person he sees if he or she can name the senators from Manitoba. I will guarantee, if not set up, the person may get one, if any at all. It shows us that most Canadians have no idea who is in the Senate.
It is not a question of Canadians wanting a Senate like this, they do not understand the Senate. They do not give a second thought to the Senate. For the hon. member to say that the majority of Canadians really want a reformed Senate, I think he has his facts all wrong. I challenge him to do what I have asked him to do and report back his findings to the House.
Senate Reform Act
Government Orders
1:55 p.m.
Kevin Lamoureux Winnipeg North, MB
Mr. Speaker, I invite the member to come to Winnipeg North and we will host a public meeting so he can hear first hand.
I suggest that if he goes into a local legion or a local hall, he will find a good number of people cannot even list their school trustees, their local city councillors or their members of Parliament, which might be a little difficult on our egos.
Generally speaking, we have to cut a little slack, provide a few more facts on the table, approach it with an open mind and see the value that the Senate could contribute in the future. That is the challenge, and I know it is a big challenge for the New Democratic Party.
Mining Industry
Statements by Members
2 p.m.
Dan Albas Okanagan—Coquihalla, BC
Mr. Speaker, last week I was able to visit the great community of Merritt in my riding of Okanagan—Coquihalla. One of my stops was at a construction site for a new silver mine.
I know there are some members of the House who continue to oppose the mining industry at every opportunity. This is a small silver mine that is still required to undergo all the environmental assessment processes required of a large mine. The owners are still required to obtain discharge permits, despite having invested $3 million in technology to ensure there is no water discharge.
What is exciting is that there are roughly 15 workers, working to assemble $6 million of new mining equipment. Once this mine is up and running, that workforce will quadruple to over 60 jobs. These jobs pay on average twice as much as the local forestry sector and 30% of those jobs will be filled by first nations. This new mine will inject $15 million annually into the local Merritt economy.
I ask that all members of the House be mindful that mines create jobs and help to support our rural economies.
Brossard Legion
Statements by Members
2 p.m.
Hoang Mai Brossard—La Prairie, QC
Mr. Speaker, last week, we honoured Canadians who have served our country. In my riding of Brossard—La Prairie, I had the honour of attending the activities organized by the Brossard Legion, which celebrated its 60th anniversary on October 22.
Thanks to volunteers like the legion's president, Jean-Guy Lavallière, himself a veteran, the Brossard Legion provides support to the veterans in my riding. I had the privilege of meeting Walter Amos, who served for six years, Roger Robidoux, a Vietnam war veteran, and Raymond Lecours, a veteran of the second world war. Unfortunately, last week, we lost Jacques St-James, a Korean war veteran. We will remember the sacrifices of the families in mourning.
We will speak up for those who do return, so often scarred by war's traumas. They deserve home care benefits that were promised and to have their pensions paid without unfair clawbacks. Let us salute the fallen by standing up for the living.
Lest we forget.
Statements by Members
2 p.m.
Bradley Trost Saskatoon—Humboldt, SK
Mr. Speaker, last week our country honoured its veterans through a week of remembrance. Today, I would like to put a face to that remembrance, the face of my constituent, Nick Sokolan.
Nick was born in 1922 near Wynyard, Saskatchewan. Like many Saskatchewan farm boys, during World War II he volunteered to serve his country. As a member of the Regina Rifles, he landed on Juno Beach and fought in the Battle of Normandy. Nick served with the Rifles, fighting through Belgium and the Netherlands into Germany.
Nick served to the end of the war, only taking a few weeks off to recover from the bullet that struck him in the arm. Returning, he settled in Humboldt, to marry his wife Nettie, to raise four boys and work for CP Rail. To this day, he continues to teach young people the meaning of war and the price of peace.
Nick did what many young Canadians of his generation did. They gave above and beyond. They gave for home and country.
On behalf of the House of Commons, we thank Mr. Sokolan and his comrades for all they did on behalf of all Canadians, past, present and future.
Steel Industry
Statements by Members
2 p.m.
Geoff Regan Halifax West, NS
Mr. Speaker, representatives of the Canadian Steel Producers Association from across Canada are here today to highlight the importance of their industry.
Steel is integral to Canada's manufacturing sector and our economic future. The industry employs 25,000 Canadians, with 100,000 spinoff jobs. It is essential to our industrial clusters like shipbuilding, automotive, energy and construction.
Today's steel is more efficient, innovative, strong and environmentally sustainable than ever before. Since 2005, Canadian steel companies have invested over $2 billion in new technologies and manufacturing processes.
I would encourage all members to support a strong future for the steel manufacturing sector in Canada.
Saskatchewan Party
Statements by Members
2 p.m.
Randy Hoback Prince Albert, SK
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Premier Brad Wall and the Saskatchewan Party on a historic re-election. Wall and his party received 64% of the popular vote, winning 49 of the 58 seats.
The big spending, high taxing NDP experienced its worst performance ever, relegated to just nine seats. Even the NDP leader was sent packing. He may choose to leave the province, but as we speak more and more of Saskatchewan's kids are returning home to Saskatchewan.
Saskatchewan has experienced a fundamental shift. It has rejected an era of confrontation and defeatism in favour of one of co-operation and prosperity. It has become a proud "have" province, contributing to Canada. The media contrived orange crush was handed a crushing defeat and Saskatchewan and Canada are better for it.
I would like to congratulate my local MLAs Darryl, Kevin, Delbert, Scott, Fred, Nadine and Victoria on their electoral success.
Jenna Morrison
Statements by Members
2:05 p.m.
Peggy Nash Parkdale—High Park, ON
Mr. Speaker, this morning, I joined hundreds of cyclists and other community members at the corner of Sterling and Dundas Streets in the west end of Toronto. It was there, on November 7, that Jenna Morrison, who was cycling to pick up her five-year-old son, died under the back wheels of a truck.
We came together this morning to express our condolences to Jenna's family and to grieve. The shock of Jenna's loss is very difficult to accept. A ghost bike was installed on that corner today, another one of the all too many reminders of cyclists killed on our city streets.
Making our streets safe requires governments at all levels to act. This afternoon I will join my colleague from Trinity—Spadina to second her bill that would require side guards on trucks to prevent deaths like Jenna Morrison's death.
I urge my colleagues here in Ottawa to do their part by quickly adopting this bill. Lives depend on it.
Fifty Years of Priesthood
Statements by Members
2:05 p.m.
James Rajotte Edmonton—Leduc, AB
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Father Mike McCaffery who recently celebrated 50 years of priesthood. Father Mike entered the seminary after attending a meeting with Father Bill Irwin who was himself then recently ordained and became the founder of Catholic Social Services.
His life's work is vast and varied and includes serving in a number of parishes, as well as a year with the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops in Ottawa and another year for the British Columbia Alcohol and Drug Commission.
Father Mike's academic life includes a master's degree in sociology from New York, studying pastoral theology and counselling at Notre Dame University and being president of Newman Theological College for six years.
He was the rector of St. Joseph's Basilica and, during his time there, presided over the wedding of Wayne and Janet Gretzky, an event that he says made him famous for five seconds.
Father Mike is known and loved around Edmonton for his sense of humour, his love of golf, his strong attachment to family and friends, his fondness for all things Irish and his efforts to be respectful toward others and inclusive of all.
We thank Father Mike for his 50 years of service to God and to our community. God Bless him.
Remembrance Day
Statements by Members
2:05 p.m.
Parm Gill Brampton—Springdale, ON
Mr. Speaker, I am honoured to share with the House my incredible experience during Remembrance Day. At times, I think we are all prone to taking our country for granted, however, this was not the case on Friday.
I had the honour of attending the Remembrance Day parade organized by the city of Brampton and Branches 609 and 15 of the Royal Canadian Legion. Thousands of citizens lined the streets to pay tribute to our brave men and women in uniform.
In Brampton, there was a renewed sense of pride fuelled by a growing understanding and appreciation for the sacrifices made by our veterans.
We are very fortunate to live in one of the most prosperous, safest and accommodating countries in the world. Being part of this Remembrance Day ceremony was another reminder that Canadians will never forget those who gave their lives and those who continue to give their lives for our freedom.
Statements by Members
2:05 p.m.
Jean Rousseau Compton—Stanstead, QC
Mr. Speaker, I crisscrossed my riding over the past two weeks to attend the Remembrance Day ceremonies being held across my riding.
In Stanstead, Sawyerville, Weedon, Coaticook and North Hatley, to name just a few locations, I met men and women from the Royal Canadian Legion who, for decades, have carried on the memory of all fallen soldiers. Let us never forget that our troops came home with powerful memories and left behind the brothers and sisters who gave their lives to defend our rights and freedoms.
However, the democracy so dearly defended by our country in conflicts since the first world war no longer seems to concern the men and women of today. In fact, although 61% of Canadians did not vote for the current government, and despite its regressive social and economic policies, people seem to be quite stoic and passive about it all. The government refuses to debate the important issues that will have a profound effect on the future of our country.
Nevertheless, I will hold high the torch of freedom and democracy in tribute to all those—

Cheryl Gallant Renfrew—Nipissing—Pembroke, ON
Mr. Speaker, in the most recent national Communities in Bloom competition between Canadian military bases, this year the best base in Canada goes to CFB Petawawa.
This reconfirms what we in the upper Ottawa valley already know. The Canadian Forces Base Petawawa is tops as a beautiful place to call home, as well as a great place to serve our country in Canada's armed forces.
Canadians know CFB Petawawa as one of the busiest operational army bases in Canada, more than pulling its weight during the recent mission in Afghanistan. Soldiers know that when it comes to keeping the home fires burning, our local community is there.
We mourn the loss of those who did not return from the great wars of the last century. We remember a different generation in conflicts like Korea, Cyprus, Bosnia, Kosovo and Afghanistan.
In Petawawa, every day is red Friday. We welcome our troops home to the prettiest base in Canada.

Hélène LeBlanc LaSalle—Émard, QC
Mr. Speaker, today, I invite my colleagues to celebrate with me the 30th anniversary of the Canadarm, which is an enduring example of Canadian innovation and know-how in space. The strength and versatility of the Canadarm illustrate the infinite potential for innovation in Canada. Overseen by the National Research Council of Canada, hundreds of our best minds spent an entire decade working on this monumental task. Together, they created this robotic technology capable of withstanding the most extreme weather and even moving a bus full of passengers. Since its debut, the Canadarm has logged more than 100 missions with space shuttles.
The NDP is 100% behind our Canadian scientists and engineers, who have shown that Canada's reach extends not only throughout the world but also into space and that the only limits on our innovation are the ones we create.

In another saute pan, saute the asparagus in the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Season with salt and pepper. Turn all of the vegetables out onto a large platter and keep warm.
For the sauce. Heat the olive oil in a large saute pan and season with salt and pepper. When the oil is hot, add the lovage, green garlic, and crushed red pepper and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
To serve: Place the fish on top of the vegetables and potatoes. Pour the sauce over the fish. Sprinkle with a little more Creole Seasoning.
Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: The best non city based marathon I've yet run.In full: Okay it starts in a (small) city, but most of the Chester marathon is on rural roads - still no small feat to close the entire route to traffic which made for a worry free marathon. Superbly organised, couldn't pick a single fault with it. Ran my first 2:45 there so it's a quick course, although with plenty of undulations there are quicker marathons out there. Would highly recommend.Date of review: October 8, 2015
In short: A tougher than advertised marathon - not really good for PBsIn full: 'The course is traffic free on closed roads and cycle paths or "redways" as they are known locally, the course is gently undulating with no significant incline providing real PB potential.' So says the MK Marathon website. I entered this race some months ago chasing 2:45. When I was made aware of the second half of the course using mostly the redways and underpasses, I baulked and entered Rotterdam, using this as a back up instead. I'm very glad I did.Many of the issues have been already highlighted below and I'll echo those sentiments. Having run Rotterdam I chose to help pace someone at a considerably slower pace than even my long Sunday runs. That said, by 22 miles I was pretty much spent and totally sympathised with my friend who had long since hit the wall and was utterly frustrated by the constant undulations, twists and turns, which although there was no one climb that was that steep or long, had a cumulatively devastating affect on tired legs (I clocked the run as having 970ft elevation - hardly flat by any stretch of the imagination). I'd actually state that recognised hilly marathons such as Winderemere or Taunton were easier than this course.If Milton Keynes wants to be taken seriously as a leading 'city marathon' it needs to be run in its entirety on closed roads and give up on the idea of using the redways - there are no shortage of them and they are generally forgiving in their nature (If a little boring).I thought crowd support was good, as were the marshals. The start was poorly thought out with mixed abilities all over the place. Also some of the water stations were a bit amateur hour in how they handed out drinks - not enough volunteers manning them in many instances. For the price I'd also expect a free t-shirt with the medal. Hate to say I would never race this again, but without major changes I cannot recommend it - unless that is you like major challenges!Date of review: May 6, 2014
In short: Very impressed with this London alternativeIn full: Having read the mixed reviews from 2012 I decided to put my trust in the organisers' promises to improve for 2013 and I'm glad I did. The course is never going to win any tourism board prizes for scenery or landmarks, but then the organisers are promising a fast, flat, PB potential course, and in that they have certainly delivered. The course is very quick, not entirely flat, but barely a hill to be seen (I think the steepest gradients were climbing bridges). The crowd support was phenomenal (Except for a quiet section between 19.5 and around 21.5 miles (Which is a shame, as this is when many need that extra support) and the addition of our first names on the race number is a super idea. Organisation was first class - particular credit to the baggage which, after the reported disaster of last year, went out of its way to be the most convenient and efficient baggage service I've seen at a race. The medal is huge, the t-shirt great. I'd certainly consider this race again. The only slight negative is the issue with the chip timing, which I understand is a problem with the sub-contracted timing company. The splits and the times for some runners are really all over the place (My brother ran the final 10k in minus 35 minutes, for example, and the second half of the race in 50 minutes, complete with an incorrect chip time). Hopefully they can get the results resolved soon. The race is expensive to enter and it made me think twice, but because there is no expo you need to attend beforehand, for me personally it makes it cheaper than London, as I don't have to spend £20+ getting to and from London before the Sunday to pick up my number. Once that is factored in the price is fairly reasonable for a city race with all roads closed and the extras that come with it. Date of review: April 30, 2013
In short: All new Half Marathon course should attract PB ChasersIn full: I last took part in the Robin Hood Half Marathon back in 2003 - I enjoyed the event but like many others didn't make it a priority to return because the course was just a little too hilly to make it a quick course. With the promise of an all new flat PB course for 2012 I took the plunge and paid the not cheap entry fee. For the asking price you expect quite a lot and thankfully the organisers didn't disappoint. Parking was exactly as it was described in the info pack - I went for the large car park close to the village - which was a 20 minute queue away as the pack described it may be, but easy enough to get into. I would say there were not quite enough portaloos judging by the long queues with 5 minutes to the start. Certainly there should be some male portable urinals as the numbers who had to resort to watering the local shrubbery was unacceptable. As for the race and course itself: The race started dead on 9:30 according to my GPS so no idea why a previous poster thinks the race started early. My yellow bib gave me priority to start near the front which was a welcome touch. Some early rain and a headwind made going a little gloomy in the opening miles, especially when running through the near deserted Boots HQ - which was a little dull but was at least flat. The run through the university was uplifting with the drummers and supporters (Who increased in numbers as the race progressed and were very supportive) and saw most of the undulations during the race - and these were barely noticeable. The return back to the start was really fast thanks to a tailwind - only the last couple of miles was spoiled by the blustery wind, but the course was flat and fast enough to minimise this problem.All in all a very well organised race which should attract those looking for a fast half marathon. Still undecided as to whether the new water pouches worked - struggled at times to actually get the water out, but when I did they were easy to drink from on the run. The goody bag was well packed with food and the medal pleasingly chunky. The technical T-shirt was overpriced and for the cost of the race could have been thrown in free, but I'd give up the T-shirt for the quick course and the totally closed roads. Date of review: September 30, 2012
In short: A very good club organised race - blighted somewhat in 2011 by the wind!In full: I was back after a six year absence; the course has changed slightly but the excellent organisation (particularly the abundance of knowledgable marshals) and enthusiastic support from the crowd remains the same. This course has definite PB potential - it's a shame that the strong wind in the second half of the race hindered matters today.Pleasant medal and t-shirt. Could have done with some nourishment at the end and prefer bottles to cups but all in all an excellent race.Date of review: October 23, 2011
In short: A Race With Great Potential But Needs to Get the Basics RightIn full: Xscape is fundamentally a good place to host the race - plenty of parking and easy access.The baggage drop looked awful. Portaloos were great but had to hunt to find them as nothing was signposted. Tannoy information was inaudible until you were pretty much at the start line.To the race itself. Very curious decision to start the 10k just ahead of the main half marathon race. As one of the front runners it was somewhat difficult to make my way through the 10k field - kudos though to the marshal at the roundabout imploring the 10k runners to keep to the left to allow us through - a pity though there were some IPlodders meandering across from one side of the road to the other in blissful ignorance....The first three miles of the course are a big improvement on last year's course. The course as a whole is enjoyable - although near the front, the use of footpaths means it does feel a bit like a training run for the most part, with little in the way of crowd support except for a few pockets. My biggest problem with race is, like last year, marshalling and signposting of directions. Majority of marshals were great, some though were simply standing at 'junctions' where I literally had to shout at them to ask which way I was meant to go.Worse still is that there were several points on the course where footpaths forked off in different directions and there was nothing but a little arrow on the ground indicating which way to go. On one corner there were arrows on signposts (From a different event, perhaps) which pointed in a different direction. The worst though was at just before 10 miles (?) when on the ground was a left arrow, then a right arrow, then a left arrow, then a cross. The winning lady went the wrong way here briefly. I know she did because she was limpet stuck to me and followed me in the wrong direction before thankfully some sixth sense directed me the right way. Basically the race needs more marshals and definitely at least one at every single turn where there is a possibility where you can go the wrong way (There was another at 12 miles when a team mate went straight on briefly instead of sharp right (There was at least 3 paths you could take). No goodie bag is a bit rubbish too. As was the hilly final mile, which made the PB 30 seconds worse than it could have been (But I won't hold the organisers responsible for this!) This has the ingredients to be a cracking special race. As it is it falls distinctly in the 'average, could do better' category. Which is a shame, frankly.Date of review: March 7, 2010
In short: Challenging town centre half marathon that is surprisingly rural.In full: Although the hills do not make this course super quick, I managed to knock a minute off my PB so quick times are possible. I think this has a lot to do with the second half being for the most part gradually downhill, which allows for some pretty quick miles if you have something left in the tank.I was surprised by how rural this race is, especially when faced with a town centre ring road nearly as ugly as Coventry's when arriving. There was barely a car to be seen until the final mile or so which made for pleasant racing. It did make things a bit lonely in places, but you were never too far away from a very efficient marshal, and the crowd support in the park at the end was most uplifting. Have little to complain about this race - I'm in the medal rather than t-shirt camp. Gatorade was a nice touch, but the bottles were too big. Also I would have had water but the cups were too flimsy to grab and many had barely any water in. Maybe small bottles?The race has a similar feel to another February half at Wokingham - I think I prefer this one.Date of review: February 7, 2010
In short: Unfortunate diversion for some, but a pleasant race neverthelessIn full: The inadvertent diversion on the busy A428 was apparently caused by a policeman wanting to stop runners from interrupting a Remembrance Sunday service. It added about 400m to the course, which was disappointing and a bit bizarre as racers dodged the traffic, but didn't spoil the race that much.Other than that it was a pleasing race using much of the old 10 mile course before it headed to the currently out of service Draycote. Runners needed to save some reserves as the final 3K or so was all uphill, but they had been pampered by an easy first 6-7km.Little in the way of extras but marshals were enthusiastic and clearly desperate to keep the race on track when the diversion occurred.I'd suggest if the race uses this course next year, that the event start at around 09 to 09:30, as by 11:30 the A428 is pretty busy with cars heading to shops presumably and not really suitable for racing.Date of review: November 10, 2009
In short: Race itself was great, organisation at start needs workIn full: From the moment I crossed the start line to collecting my very generous goodie bag at the end, the race was superbly organised, with a quick course (The final killer mile excepting) and superb crowd support for a wet grey day. However I thought that my pre-race experience was one of the worst ever at a race. The 2 page leaflet was insufficient, the 24 page PDF didn't really give much more information. The race was promoting going green and I decided to do my bit by going in by train. The first train from Coventry arrived at 9:10 and was rammed full - making me wish I'd gone by car. Worse was that from the train station there was not one iota of a direction sign indicating where the start was. Sorry for not being a local but I'm not familiar with the layout of central Birmingham. It was trial and error and following the most confident looking other runner which finally got me somewhere near the start.I didn't even make it to the NIA, I tried to find the toilets and could only find 7 portaloos at the orange start area on the course itself, which I was still queueing for 5 minutes before the start! With no idea of where my proper start pen was I resigned myself to starting way further back than I should have and was pretty frustrated. Again at the end of the race there was no real indication of where we were meant to go to meet up with people / baggage etc.. Basically the race needs to be much better signposted and better pre race information and don't pretend to have green credentials if you cannot effectively make it to the start of our second biggest city by public transport.Date of review: October 13, 2009
In short: Well run race on undulating country lanes.In full: First time I'd done this and best described as an inoffensive, well organised, good value race with few thrills but little too in the way of criticisms. The course is certainly undulating, with barely a bit of flat road to run on the for the entire course. This eventually takes its toll, but it is not that slow a course. The start was well managed considering it took place on an open road with traffic and from there on there was barely a car to be seen until the final 2 miles. Well marshalled with good drinks stations, an odd finish beside a football pitch but a nice pair of Ron Hill socks as a memento. The college as a base made for a stress free build up to the race. The only minor criticism was that a few of the mile markers were out by a fair distance.Date of review: September 8, 2009

President's Nomination of Hagel May Encourage Iran's Nuclear Ambitions
Latest update: January 8th, 2013
President Obama's nomination of Chuck Hagel as Secretary of Defense risks increasing the likelihood that Iran will develop nuclear weapons. It poses that risk because Hagel is well known for his opposition both to sanctions against Iran and to employing the military option if necessary.
These views are inconsistent with the very different views expressed by President Obama. The President has emphasized on numerous occasions that he will never allow Iran to develop nuclear weapons and will use military force if necessary to prevent that "game changer."
The nomination of Hagel thus sends a mixed message to the mullahs in Tehran, who will likely interpret it as a change from a red light to a yellow or green one when it comes to their desire to develop nuclear weapons. Sending a mixed message at this point can increase the chances that Iran will miscalculate and act in a foolhardy manner thus requiring the actual use of the military option—an eventuality that nobody wants.
The goal of America's policy toward Iran has always been to frighten the mullahs into believing President Obama's threat to use military force if sanctions fail. "I don't bluff," President Obama has famously and publicly stated. It is imperative that the Iranian leadership believe this. If they do, they may well decide that the sanctions they are currently undergoing are too painful to endure, if the end result is that they will never be permitted to develop nuclear weapons. If they don't believe President Obama's threat, then the sanctions alone will not dissuade them from pursuing their nuclear goal. The nomination of Senator Hagel will strengthen the hand of those within the Iranian leadership who think that President Obama is bluffing.
It is also important that the Israeli leadership believes that President Obama really has Israel's back when it comes to preventing Iran from endangering the Jewish state by obtaining nuclear weapons. Any loss of trust in this regard may result in an Israeli decision to take unilateral military action to protect its citizens against nuclear attacks.
This is the wrong time to send mixed messages by nominating a man who has, at best, a mixed record with regard to sanctions and the military option against Iran and with regard to having Israel's back.
Senator Hagel will have an opportunity to clarify, and hopefully to change, his previous statements with regard to these issues. He should be asked probing questions about sanctions, about the military option and about Israel's security. In his answers he must persuade the Iranian leadership that there is no distance between his current views and those of the President who has nominated him. The President must also persuade the Iranian leadership that his nomination of Hagel does not constitute any backing down from his commitment to use military force, if sanctions don't work.
Independence may be a virtue for a senator, but it is a vice when it presents conflicting messages at a time when it is imperative that the Iranian leadership understand that the Obama Administration, indeed the United States as a whole, speaks with one voice when it says that Iran will never be allowed to develop nuclear weapons, even if that requires the use of military force if all other options fail.
Normally a president, especially a president reelected to a second term with a substantial majority, should be entitled to pick his own Secretary of Defense. But when the President's decision risks sending a mixed message that could increase the chances of having to employ the military option against Iran, the Senate has an especially important role to play. The burden is now on Senator Hagel to persuade the Senate, the American people, and the leaders of Iran that he is fully supportive of the President's commitment not to contain a nuclear armed Iran, but to prevent such a catastrophe from occurring, even if that requires the use of military force to achieve that commendable goal.
Nor is this a liberal-conservative or Democratic-Republican issue. Reportedly, the Hagel nomination has been very controversial within the White House itself, with some of President Obama's closest advisers being critical of it. Many Democrats, both elected officials and rank and file voters, are deeply concerned about the wisdom of the President's nomination of Senator Hagel.Alan M. Dershowitz

Don't think that Obama is stupid. He told the American people exactly what we wanted to hear about Iran…And we believed him….By appointing Hagel, he made his true intentions clear. Actions speak louder than words.
Senators Gildebrand, Scumer , and Blumenthal, among others have in the past understood the huge cost an Iranian nuclear bomb would be.
Now they need to understand the huge political cost enabling this catastrophe by.
voting to confirm Chuck Hagel would be.

didn't think one could trust Obama as he surely is not a christian.
I hope Hagel will not allow. He doesn't forget Iran's terrorist proxy, Hezbollah. Iran's nuclear facilities will produce tons of high-grade plutonium residue, perfect for a super-dirty radioactive bomb to be detonated within the U.S., Israel, or Europe. I wrote an article about this and offer it free to JP readers. Robert at Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) News.
Hagel has had a midnight conversion on the option of using military force in case negotiations fail to stop Iran's nuclear weapons program.
But Iran and most people everywhere will interpret his confirmation as the end.
of all options are on the table and a green light for it's atomic bomb.
The Senate should give very little weight to what Hagel has to say now and consider the consequence of his confirmation.
A nuclear Iran has sworn to eliminate Israel and every mosque in Iran has a poster "Death To Israel."
After Iran drops an atomic bomb over Tel Aviv, the issue of whether Hagel is anti-Israel or pro-Israel becomes mute.
Iran has a high tolerance for the deaths of huge numbers of people. The war between Iran and Iraq ostensibly over a territorial dispute concerning 0.1% of Iran's land mass had a million casualties.
Iran has spread it's terror all over the globe and has murdered more than a thousand Americans.
It's ideology is identical to Al Quaeda, amd certainly has America, the Great Satan in it's cross hairs.
A Hagel confirmation kills any chance of Iran agreeing to stop it's nuclear weapons program through negotiations. why would they take the tremendous political risk of telling their people that years of sanctions privations was for nothing when they know their is no risk of an American military action?
I believe President Obama's primary motivation in nominating Hagel is that he thinks he would help to deeply cut the Pentagon budget, and not to poke a finger in the eye of the pro-Israel constituency.
But it is a very serious miscalculation of unintended consequences.
The Senate should not confirm Hagel. Senators Blumenthal, Gildebrand, Schumer. Lautenberg, Menendez, Boxer, Cardin and many more that take seriously the Iranian threat and have made promises to their constituents on this issue should vote no just for this reason.
If enbabling Iran to get its nuclear bombs to drop over Tel Aviv is not enough to motivate pro-Israel senators like Chuck Schumer to vote no on Hagel's confirmation,
try looking at this recent Al-Arabiyah article cheering a Hagel confirmation.
Here is part of it.
Hagel represents the heart of the baby boomer generation. He is a war hero of true American colors. His dedication is to the best interests of the United States. Over the years, when he was just a US senator, Hagel could be attacked, vilified and even marginalized by the Israeli lobby. But as the Secretary of Defense in the Obama administration, Israel's liars have a lot to fear in Hagel.
He just may be the first American official to ask publicly, why no international agency has been allowed to inspect Israel's nuclear arsenal, or wonder aloud why Americans, who are experiencing their hardest economic times, continue to subsidize Israel's lifestyle of conflict.
He's not Israel's bitch. Be happy.
its uppity Israel we need to worry about. there, I said it. This whole idea Israel will be allowed to disinfect evey corner of the world because of suspicion, its god damn ludicrous. it'll play by the rules, or else.
and Israel threatens Iran how many times a week?
have Durch go join up OVER THERE, god damn Israel Firster.
A-bombs are gunna be like knives in the Philippines >EVERYBODY'S GUNNA HAVE ONE. GET OVER IT.
Traditional Jews aren't Zionist. Nice try. Maybe go make up some fake passports, harvest organs from prisoners, get Prince Harry to wear the Balfour around on his t-shirt.
