Six weeks ago, André Kuipers, a European Space Agency astronaut, was in a unique vantage point to observe humanity's impact on the planet. "From space," he said from the International Space Station, "you see the forest fires, you see the air pollution, you see erosion."
Kuipers offered his observation as part of the official launch of WWF's Living Planet Report 2012, the leading biennial survey of Earth's health produced in collaboration with Global Footprint Network and the Zoological Society of London. Using Global Footprint Network's updated National Footprint Accounts, the central data set that calculates humanity's demand for and supply of natural resources and services they provide, the report's conclusions are daunting.
By now, you probably know the numbers: Humanity is using 52 percent more natural resources and ecological services than our planet can produce. In other words, about one and half Earths would now be required to keep up with our current levels of consumption and carbon emissions. Since the 1970s, when the world went into overshoot, the ecological deficit has widened each year. Meanwhile, as WWF reported, biodiversity globally has decreased nearly 30 percent in the last 40 years.
The Living Planet Report generated enormous global interest and evoked more media coverage than any previously. Like many complex issues, the data were interpreted and framed in very different ways. Below are a few examples of the range of coverage.
As part of its Rio+20 coverage, the Guardian UK covered the most significant conclusions of the Living Planet Report, as did CNN, the journal Nature, BBC Radio, and International Business Times. The Washington Post highlighted the deterioration of global fishing stocks because of overconsumption, but also noted that global vertebrate populations have declined by about 30 percent since 1970.
National Geographic ran an evocative series of photos of the 10 Countries With the Biggest Environmental Footprints. Other outlets, such as Outside magazine, ran variations on this theme. Regional press such as the Times of Oman, Arabian Business, and Kuwait Times also covered the report.
The Economist featured the Ecological Footprint as its Daily Chart, which evoked many comments. The troubling picture of our global situation conveyed by the data prompted discussion across the media landscape, though some critical comments at the Economist may have been triggered by its description of Qataris as "guzzlers" and Palestinians and Afghans as "more modest consumers." Those who followed up by visiting our website, and learning more of the Ecological Footprint, tended to be more positive in their comments.
One confusion appeared in both media coverage and commentary: Misunderstanding the difference between a country's total and its per capita Footprint. Drawing from the above example, for example, one might ask, "How can Qataris (#1) have a larger Ecological Footprint than the United States' (#5)?" Or, "How can Denmark (#4), a small nation which has adopted forward-looking policies and sustainable practices, have such a large Footprint?"
The answer lies in understanding what the Footprint actually measures, which is the area (measured in global hectares) required to produce the biological resources a country uses and to absorb its wastes, and to compare this with the biologically productive area available. A nation's consumption is calculated by adding imports to and subtracting exports from its national production. For per capita calculations, this is divided by the number of people in that country in a given year.
Denmark's per capita Footprint is large in part because of the high proportion of meat in the national diet, which requires tons of grain. Qatar's Footprint is large in part because of its intensive energy use, which generates significant carbon emissions that need to be sequestered.
Today 83 percent of humanity lives in nations where the demand on nature exceeds what local ecosystems can renew—that is, they are ecological debtors. This is what the science, not instinct or ideology, tells us. The world can no longer afford to be short-sighted or complacent. Yes, we can acknowledge the ways in which humanity has flourished. But to ignore our ever-increasing demand on nature's limited services, and what that means for our economies and social stability, brings great risk.
That the Living Planet Report garnered widespread attention is a hopeful sign. That awareness of our global Ecological Overshoot is increasing is also encouraging. Few of us can be in the position of astronaut André Kuipers, viewing the planet as a whole. But the Living Planet Report and Global Footprint Network data can help us all better grasp resource trends, and enable leaders to prepare for a future of ever tightening constraints.

Exam schools — public schools for high achievers — attract far more applicants than they can take, write Fordham's Checker Finn and consultant Jessica Hockett in Education Next.
Some school officials are uneasy about the practice of selectivity, given possible allegations of "elitism" and anxiety over pupil diversity. Still, most rely primarily on applicants' prior school performance and scores on various tests.
. . . Their overall student body is only slightly less poor than the universe of U.S. public school students. Some schools, we expected, would enroll many Asian American youngsters, but we were struck when they turned out to comprise 21 percent of the schools' total enrollment, though they make up only 5 percent of students in all public high schools. More striking still: African Americans are also "overrepresented" in these schools, comprising 30 percent of enrollments versus 17 percent in the larger high-school population. Hispanic students are correspondingly underrepresented, but so are white youngsters.
Exam schools are "serious, purposeful places" with motivated, well-behaved students. Teachers have high expectations for students. Most schools offer Advanced Placement (AP) courses, the International Baccalaureate (IB) program, their own advanced courses and/or actual college classes. In addition, there are literary magazines, robotics competitions, sophisticated music and theater offerings, most of the usual clubs and organizations, plenty of field trips, and no dearth of sports—though champion football and basketball teams were rare!
But exam schools are under heavy pressure to get graduates into top-tier colleges. The "AP tiger" frustrates teachers, exhausts students and discourages "experimentation, risk-taking, unconventional thinking, unique courses, and individualized research, as well as pedagogical creativity and curricular innovation," write Finn and Hockett.
While exam school students excel, it's not clear the school added value to students who already were high performing, they write.
Should the U.S. have more exam schools for high achievers? Here's the poll.

Skip to comments.White House: Gitmo transfers mean jobs (in Illinois)
Posted on 11/22/2009 2:40:25 PM PST by SolidWood
THOMSON, Ill., Nov. 22 (UPI) -- Thousands of jobs would be created in Illinois if the U.S. government purchases a nearly empty prison there to house terror detainees, a study indicates.
The study, performed by the Obama White House Council of Economic Advisers and obtained by The Chicago Sun-Times, asserted that 2,290 to 2,960 jobs would be created in and around Thomson, Ill., in the first year after its conversion to house some of the prisoners now held at the Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, detention facility, the newspaper reported Sunday.
Local residents in the Illinois-Iowa border town would be "good candidates" to fill 1,240 to 1,410 of those jobs, the report indicated.
(Excerpt) Read more at upi.com ...
A good many prison guards are SEIU.
Interesting stimulus program. Let's just import all terrorists to Illinois.
The list, ping
Government jobs? Soon to be the only jobs our children cans aspire to.
Pathetic. The only jobs they can come up with.
I hear that the rubber surgical gloves industry is going to take off in Illinois too!
2960 jobs to help control 200 prisoners? Where do these people come up with this stuff?
they want them , well OK, and are they going to cry when they either escape, there is a terrorist act or even a massive riot which could result in deaths of guards of course in the name of the peaceful religion islam.
so creating some jobs is better than the security of this country plus the cost to house them here.
Wait till those lawyers get info and pass it out and just wait till their terrorist friends come to visit town.
This white house has no clue about the threat we face or they just don't care.
I am amazed even the cult of obama and the sheep of the Dems would not have woken up by now.
It is plain for even a blind man to see what the hell is going on and that there is no leadership on the international level
40 correctiional officers and the rest 24-7 Imans and those guys who do the call to prayer.
That's what I was going to say.
100 to 1 guard to prisoner? Hell, put them all in a hole and give one guy a key to toss food in once a day.
They should farm out some of their overpopulation to IL.
It could fill that prison, and Calif would still be overcrowded
More jobs in IL, and no terrorists from Gitmo.
maybe they added unknown districts surrounding the area .
What a complete shambles this all is.
He says he is closing the place but when asked what will you do with them he has no clue.
He then wants a Govt take over but has not read the bill nor has most of his party which votes for it.
It just shows how dumb the left is when they support this crap
And the Gitmo transfers will also mean jobs in the White House and congress in 2010.
We both win.
Hey we'll take a few dead americans if it makes the chosen one look good.. ALL HAIL MING ER OBAMA!!!!
One thing I thought that came out of the Palin-O'Reilly interview was putting the inmates from Guantanamo at the closed Navy base on Adak in Alaska....they would love going from the warmth and luxury of Guantanamo to the freezing hell of Adak. I would even agree to that move.
Oops, new congress jobs in '10 and perhaps an intelligent set of beings in the White House in '12...not '10.
Oh yeah, jobs, right. How long will those jobs be there? Is der fuehrer planning on keeping all of those prisoners there forever? Maybe he is planning on releasing them and filling the prison with those who don't buy health insurance from the government or maybe those who refuse to go along with the rest of his facist-nazi plans.
We have MILLIONS of folks out of work, millions of folks that have lost their homes and millions of folks have lost their dreams.
All of that and much much more, and THIS is the best Obama and his criminal conspirators can do!
Absolutely EVERYTHING is above the pay grade of Americas First Failed Black Pres-dent.
I thought all the mean jobs were already taken.
Hmmm, they pay their prison workers here with "no" problem.
Good point you make, thanks.
If anyone makes a deal with CA to take some of their prisoners, the entities taking them should ask for a BIF deal. (Bread In Front) No IOU's.
Correct SEIU and Crony Jobs. Defeat this travesty! Why not New York where our state is going bankrupt. We have lots of mental hospitals they could be locked up in! All of the crazy people are outside!
Christina Romer is Chair of the Council of Economic Advisers.
Well, that settles it. I believe them! /s
They have done such a wonderful job at creating JOBS all over the country. /s
It appears the AFSCME is the union of choice in that area.
Same crap, different name.
Attack, Republicans, attack.
Prison Guard Salary
Entry Level Salary:
Average Salary:
If you are physically fit, have no felony convictions
stressful working conditions create turnover in this field and a rising prison population increases demand
Yea, and just try to get one! LOL!!!LOL!!LOL!LOL!!!!!
OK, I have a question. If the trial is in NYC, and the prisoners er TERRORIST WAR CRIMINALS are being housed in Illinois, how are they going to get to NYC?
They make it up as they go along like the outright radical marxists they are.
The WH does NOT want you to see the following...
The REAL GUANTANAMO BAY!!
In a double dip recession why is no one in our media speaking out about the money spent in Gitmo that will be wasted?
CLICK BELOW to see the courtrooms in Gitmo.
I wonder if they counted the hundreds of extra security positions they'll need at O'Hare if they go ahead with this.
November 17, 2009 3:09 PM
Survey Shows Only 32% of Illinois Voters Support Quinn/Durbin Plan to Move Gitmo to Illinois, 57% Oppose
60% of women, 58% of independents and plurality of Democrats call plan a "bad idea"
Less than one-third of Illinois voters support a plan to move terrorists from Gitmo to Thomson, Illinois while 57 percent call it a "bad idea," according to a survey released today by We Ask America, a division of Xpress Professional Services, Inc. of Springfield, Illinois.
According to the overnight survey of 1,791 likely Illinois voters, 60 percent of women and 58 percent of independents oppose the plan. Even Democrats narrowly oppose the plan, 44.5 percent to 43 percent.
That's not thousands of jobs.
The only good thing is it's likely to happen to Illinois, a state that's truly earned it by cursing us with the Illegal Alien and Senator Turban.
Oh, now isn't that just special? Three thousand new taxpayer funded federal government jobs to molly-coddle a couple of hundred terrorists who are dedicated to the destruction of the U.S.
Somehow I just don't think this will help the economy that much, seeing as how these jobs will be a drain on the economy rather boosting the economy by creating new wealth.
Many new fresh faces to spit on. The terrorists will love it.
it doesn't matter how many people oppose the transfer, the demons passed maobamacare when most of their constituants opposed it.
it doesn't matter how many people oppose the transfer, the demons passed maobamacare when most of their constituants opposed it.
How many of them will be jobs for criminal defense attorneys, civil rights attorneys, immigration attorneys, etc.?
Get ready for Thomson real estate to increase in value as muzzies start buying it up to be near their brothers in the prison.
Terrorism (or whatever they call it now) as a jobs program.
Trust me, they will not be hiring the town folks...............
And how will the citizens of Thomson feel after the first store or cafe is blown up by a suicide bomber or there is a mass shooting by an Islamic terrorist?
For how many prisoners, 10! The spirit of Marie Antoinette Lives! Let them eat cake! Take our crumbs! There are millions out of work and they have the arrogance to tell the American people take what crumbs come to you!
All those first responders in Chicago.

Roast Chicken Salad Sandwiches
- For the chicken:
- 1 4 -pound chicken
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 lemon
- 3 sprigs parsley or tarragon
- For the mayonnaise:
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 3/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Kosher salt
- For the salad:
- 2 stalks celery, diced, plus
- 2 tablespoons chopped leaves
- 1 medium shallot, finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
- 3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh tarragon
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Fresh lemon juice, to taste
- 2 baguettes, split open
- Potato chips, for serving (optional)
Roast the chicken: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Rinse the chicken and pat dry; season generously inside and out with salt and black pepper. Stuff the lemon half and herb sprigs inside the cavity, then place the chicken in a baking dish. Roast until golden brown all over and a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 170 degrees F, about 1 hour, 10 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let cool slightly. Remove and discard the skin, then pull the meat off the bones and chop or tear into bite-size pieces; refrigerate, covered, until ready to use.
Make the mayonnaise: Combine the egg yolks, lemon juice and mustard in a large heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water (do not let the bowl touch the water). Cook, whisking constantly, until hot, about 2 minutes. Remove the bowl from the pan and gradually drizzle in the vegetable oil, whisking until thick and creamy. Whisk in 1 tablespoon water, the cayenne and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Make the salad: Add the celery and leaves, the shallot, parsley, chives, tarragon and chicken to the prepared mayonnaise. Add salt, pepper and lemon juice to taste. Pull out some of the bread from the inside of the baguettes, then stuff with the chicken salad. Cut into sandwiches; serve with potato chips.

Three C
DescriptionThe Three C Cooperative Wildlife Management Unit (CWMU) is southeast of Heber City. The highest elevation is in the southeast at near 9900 feet. This high elevation decreases to 7200 feet in the northwest. Crooked Creek is one of the drainages that cuts the Unit. It ranges from 6600 feet to 8700 feet. Center Creek is another drainage that cuts the Unit. It ranges from 6400 feet to 8600 feet. The most common elevation is 8000 feet but ranges from 5800 feet to 9900 feet with an elevation difference of 4100 feet. Fifty-three percent (53%) of the CWMU elevation ranges between 7000 feet and 8700 feet an elevation difference of 1700 feet.
The Three C Cooperative Wildlife Management Unit (CWMU) is somewhat divided in half. On the west half the land cover is dominated by Inter-Mountain Basins Montane Sagebrush Steppe (62) and Rocky Mountain Gambel Oak-Mixed Montane Shrubland (41). Whereas, the east half is dominated by Rocky Mountain Aspen Forest and Woodland (22). Rocky Mountain Bigtooth Maple Ravine Woodland (23), Rocky Mountain Subalpine Mesic Spruce-Fir Forest and Woodland (28), and Colorado Plateau Pinyon-Juniper Woodland (36) add to the Forest and Woodland character of the Unit. Rocky Mountain Subalpine-Montane Riparian Shrubland (77) and Inter-Mountain Basins Big Sagebrush Shrubland support the Shrubland character.
One of the Three C Cooperative Wildlife Mangement Unit (CWMU) nearest weather stations, HEBER (423809), is 4.6 km northwest of the northwest edge of the CWMU. HEBER has one hundred sixteen (116) years of records, 1892 - 2008. During the FALL (September, October and November) the average precipitation is 3.92 inches, but it can be as high as 10.14 inches or as low as 0.50 inch. During the 91-day FALL period, 18 days will experience greater than or equal to 0.01 inch of precipitation, 11 days of greater than or equal to 0.10 inch, or 2 days of the greater than or equal to 0.50 inch of precipitation. Snowfall during the FALL averages 8.9 inches but can be as high as 29.5 inches. FALL temperature at HEBER averages 46.6 degrees F. but can be as high as 98.0 degrees F. or as low as -21.0 degrees F. During the FALL, 57 days will be below freezing (32 degrees F.) and 1 days above 90 degrees F. This map is provided for general reference only and does not constitute a legal hunt boundary. The Division does not guarantee access to any private or public land. Hunt unit boundaries may include private property or other excluded areas.

Touchscreen Windows 8 Devices: Hot or Not?

Sender E-mail
Different reports say different things about demand for Windows 8 touch devices
How are
Windows 8-based touch PCs
faring since their October launch? I guess it depends on whom you ask.
A new report from
said that PC makers are trying to meet demand for the Windows 8 laptops, tablets and hybrid convertibles, and stores are having trouble keeping them on the shelves. However, a report from
The Seattle Times
offers a very different point of view.
spoke with two different analysts on the topic, including Bob O'Donnell from IDC and Rhoda Alexander from IHS iSuppli. Both stated that vendors are having a hard time meeting customer demand for Windows 8 touchscreen PCs, and may even have shortages in the near future.
"We've talked to a number of PC makers that are having trouble obtaining touch panels and some of the vendors I've talked to said they can't keep them on the shelf," said Alexander.
O'Donnell made sure to add that non-touch
Windows 8 PCs
are not doing quite as well, though. This is only based on touchscreen devices.
The Seattle Times
had a very different report. It said that the low availability of Windows 8-powered tablet devices has led to decreased customer demand, and obviously sales.
According to
The Seattle Times
, only five Windows 8 tablets out of a dozen that were announced are available on the market. Two of them, including Microsoft's own Surface and an Acer tablet, are only available at the Microsoft Store. Currently, there are only about 60 of those.
This short reach has been affecting demand and sales of the tablets, it said.
The Seattle Times
also spoke with an analyst to get an idea of what's going on with Microsoft's latest addition, and the feedback wasn't too positive.
Wes Miller, an analyst at Directions, said that Microsoft has been hush-hush about its sales numbers, and that is never an encouraging sign.
The Seattle Times
doesn't seem to think that Windows 8 devices will combat the likes of Apple's iPad anytime soon, this isn't the end for Windows 8-based tablets. Eve Jung, an analyst at Nomura, said tablet shipments will pass up notebook shipments in the second half of 2013. By then, Microsoft will have its Windows 8 Pro-based Surface on the market and more Windows RT tablets (the ARM-based version) will have finally made their way into stores.
While the number of sales of Windows 8-based touchscreen devices is unclear, Microsoft just proudly announced that
Windows 8 upgrades hit 40 million
in the first month of release. This surpassed Windows 7, which was the previous record breaker for Windows OS upgrades.
The Seattle Times
"Nowadays, security guys break the Mac every single day. Every single day, they come out with a total exploit, your machine can be taken over totally. I dare anybody to do that once a month on the Windows machine." -- Bill Gates

The eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) — also called Atlantic oyster or Virginia oyster — is a species of true oyster native to the eastern seaboard and Gulf of Mexico coast of North America. It is also farmed in Puget Sound, Washington, where it is known as the Totten Inlet Virginica.[1] Eastern oysters are and have been very popular commercially. Today, less than 1% of the original 17th century population (when the original colonists arrived) is thought to remain in the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries,[2] although population estimates from any era are uncertain. The eastern oyster is the state shellfish of Connecticut,[3] and its shell is the state shell of Virginia and Mississippi.
Like all oysters, Crassostrea virginica is a bivalve mollusk with a hard calcium-carbonaceous shell. Its shell provides protection from predation.
This particular type of oyster has an important environmental value. Like all oysters, Crassostrea virginica is a filter feeder. They suck in water and filter out the plankton and detritus to swallow, then spit the water back out, thus cleaning the water around them. One oyster can filter up to 48 gallons of water in 24 hours.
The Eastern oyster, like all members of the family Ostreidae, can make small pearls to surround particles that enter the shell. These pearls, however, are insignificant in size and of no value; the pearl oyster, from which commercial pearls are harvested, is of a different family.
History of the Chesapeake Bay oyster
Before industrial harvesting
Before Columbus and the rise of industrial oyster operations, there was an abundance of oysters in the bay. Oysters first arrived in the Chesapeake 5,000 years ago, and shortly after, local Indians began eating them. Archaeologists found evidence the local Native Americans returned to the same place to collect oysters for 3,000 years. John Smith, on a voyage up the Chesapeake, stated oysters "lay as thick as stones."[4] In fact, the word Chesapeake derives from an Algonquian word meaning 'Great Shellfish Bay'.[5] Because of the abundance of oysters filtering the waters of the Chesapeake, the water was much clearer than it is now. Visibility would sometimes reach 20 feet. When the English began settling the area, there is evidence they had a localized impact of the oyster population. One archaeological site measured oyster sizes near Maryland's old capital St. Mary's city from 1640 to 1710. In 1640, when the city was still small, oysters measured 80mm, and in the city's maximum population in 1690, they measured to 40mm. When the capital moved to Annapolis, the population moved with it, and by 1710, the oysters were back up to 80mm.[6] However, the effect of local overharvesting would remain local until after the Civil War, when a combination of new technologies led to the removal of nearly all the bay oysters.
Industrial oyster harvesting
The industrial revolution would introduce several new technologies to the Chesapeake Bay area, which allowed for more intensive oyster harvesting. First, there was the invention of canning. This allowed oysters to be preserved much longer, and created demand for oysters across the world. Secondly, the invention of the dredge enabled oyster harvesters to reach untouched depths of the Chesapeake. And finally, the proliferation of steam-powered ships and railroads made transportation more reliable, enabling merchants to sell oysters far and wide. Estimates for the harvest in 1839 give a figure of 700,000 bushels. After the Civil War, dredges were legalized, and harvesting exploded to 5 million bushels that year. By 1875, 17 million bushels were taken from the bay. The harvesting would reach its peak in the 1880s, with 20 million oysters being harvested from the bay each year.[6] Not only were they being taken for food, but also oyster reefs, where oysters had built hills of their dead shells over thousands of generations, were being dredged out. There were many uses for the surplus oyster shells then. They were ground into mortar, used as filler in roads, and used as a source of lime in agricultural fertilizer. By the 1920's, harvests would be down to just 3-5 million bushels per year because of overharvesting.
Decline and disease
Overharvesting would eventually deplete the remaining oyster population in the bay to just 1% of its historical amount, where it stands today. Oyster harvests began to decline in the 1890s. They were being taken much faster than they could reproduce. Also, many of the shells and reefs were being taken and not being replaced. Oyster spat need a hard surface to which to attach, and these were vanishing because of the destruction of oyster reefs. By the 1920s, harvests were down to 3–5 million bushels per year,[6] stabilized for a time by returning oyster shells back to the bay. But in the 1950s, the weakened oyster population had to deal with the diseases Dermo and MSX. These decimated the remaining oyster population. The parasites, which carried the disease, are an alien to Eastern waters, and it is speculated they were brought to the Chesapeake by Asian oysters. Currently, oyster harvests average less than 200,000 bushels a year.
Commercial value
The Eastern oyster used to be of great commercial value. Due to the steep decline in the number of oysters in various traditionally harvested areas, primarily because of overfishing and diseases,[7] the annual catch has declined significantly. In Maryland, the 2006-2007 catch was 165,059 bushels (~7600 m³) of oysters.[8] Other regions of the East Coast of the United States have successful oyster farms, including most notably Cotuit and Wellfleet on Cape Cod, in Massachusetts.
"Dermo" (Perkinsus marinus) is a marine disease of oysters, caused by a protozoan parasite. It is a prevalent pathogen of oysters, causing massive mortality in oyster populations, and poses a significant economic threat to the oyster industry.
"MSX" (Haplosporidium nelsoni), another protozoan, was first described along the mid-Atlantic coast in 1957.[9] Mortalities can reach 90% to 95% of the oyster population within 2 to 3 years of being seeded.[10] MSX slows the feeding rates of infected oysters, leading to a reduction in the amount of stored carbohydrates, which in turn inhibits normal gametogenesis during spawning, resulting in reduced fecundity.

Shailene Woodley
We love the fusions of messy and formal when it's done in a way that is not overdone or cheesy which is just what Shailene has done with her look here. Let's start of with her simple gorgeous black dress which really frees up the neckline giving her a lot of play with her hair which she's done a fantastic job from shying away from the formal dress by ruffing it up and tossing it to the side with a little order which gives this messy hairstyle such a class to it. Not to mention the dangling strand of hair which just flows so perfectly with the entire look.

That new-airplane smell
When you're buying a jet, months of work culminate the moment you sign the papers. You're finished with research, analysis, due diligence and inspections. You've had the last of your consultations with brokers, attorneys, accountants, pilots and mechanics. The marathon has been run and now you can reap the rewards.
Beau Schweikert, a corporate CFO, has worked for clients on four jet closings—both sales and acquisitions—the latest with Mesinger Jet Sales, a Boulder, Colorado-based brokerage firm. That deal was an odyssey that began with the client seeking to transition from occasional use of jet cards to purchase of a super-midsize bizjet, but then late in the process concluding that only a long-range, large-cabin model would fit the bill.
"This was their first [ownership aircraft] transaction and they were able to fly transcontinental the very next day," says Schweikert. "The principals were very pleased." That's likely an understatement.
No matter the size of the airplane, buying your first is one of those sweet life moments to be savored. And the manufacturers and completion centers know it, often reserving luxury offices in their plants for customers to finish the paperwork and then presenting the airplane in a surgically clean acceptance hangar replete with the buyer's name on a banner, a photographer, champagne and a gourmet buffet or some variation on that theme.
Once, a brand-new, small two-seat trainer was delivered to me. Knowing my affinity for the Green Bay Packers football team, the ferry pilot and his cohorts did their best to make the moment memorable: they left a pair of foam-rubber cheeseheads, the preferred headgear of diehard Packer-backers, on the pilot seats. (The year before, a couple of Packer fans had crashed their airplane while returning from a game and had credited their survival to donning their cheeseheads prior to impact. This became the subject of considerable chortling in hangars throughout the United States.)
I saw the cheeseheads and doubled over in laughter. But after I recovered, I stepped back and admired the airplane: I had selected the options, the color scheme, everything about it. I had personalized it.
In the months that followed, I would fly the pants off it, visiting wonderful places unknown, meeting fascinating people, doing business deals in a compressed time space impossible with any other kind of vehicle. The airplane opened doors for me, both personally and professionally, and I was treated to some amazing vistas along the way. I was thrilled.
The feeling is the same, whether you are in a small piston airplane or the biggest bizjet, whether you are in the cockpit or enjoying the fruits of your labor in the cabin: the smell of the leather, the feel of the seats, the grain patterns in the veneer, the quality of the cabin-management electronics—all in your favorite colors, fabrics and patterns and with your preferred options.
Here is the emotional security of having all your favorite stuff on board—food, drink, music and movies; the convenience of no-drama wardrobe changes; and the joy of skipping the drudgery and wasted time that flying the airlines entails. When you land, they roll out the red carpet and the rental car or livery service stands at the ready.
Nothing else really compares. And when you're not flying in the airplane, there's likely a model of it somewhere in your office or a photo of you taking the keys on delivery day. There they are, taunting you, reminding you how much you'd rather be out of that office flying—somewhere, anywhere—in your own aircraft.
Take a deep breath: it's that new-airplane smell.

Pastor will be missed
Editor, OBSERVER:
It is with great sadness that we must say goodbye to our beloved Pastor Molly T. Golando from the Sheridan United Methodist Church.
Pastor Molly has helped me and so many other people in pastoral needs as well as a listening ear.
Almost five years ago while I was going through some personal issues, she helped me in ways for which I can only say thank you. She sat with my mom and sister while I went through surgeries. She has helped me see things in a more positive way.
I will always remember her kindness, sympathetic listening, her kind words and wisdom.
If you have never had the chance to meet Molly, you were missing out on a great lady. And that is what Molly is: a lady.
Pastor Molly, we love you and we will miss you.
May God Bless you and peace be with you.

Alan Tonks York South—Weston, ON
Mr. Speaker, I am privileged to be a member of the standing committee on the environment. As such I voted for some of the improvements that the standing committee made to Bill C-5. I voted against several amendments which were passed by the committee because I felt they undermined the co-operative and accountable approach of the legislation.
There is no question that our country needs federal legislation to protect species at risk. We need a law that will encourage positive actions and behaviour, an act that will motivate and nurture the will to build upon a strong foundation of stewardship across our country. In fact, at this important point in our federalism the legislation comes at a time and in a manner that co-operation across the country is being achieved so that species at risk and their habitats would be protected.
As parliamentarians we know that building co-operation and partnerships is the most productive way to change things for the better. If we want our citizens to modify their behaviour to achieve a common goal then we should give them the tools and encouragement to do so. We cannot expect to earn this commitment simply because it is mandated by a law.
As a member of the committee I learned that there is much anxiety about endangered species legislation. Our job now is to achieve legislation that Canadians could trust and support and that would result in unequivocal support for legislation that would make all the difference to the 387 species at risk across the country.
Some Canadians are afraid that endangered species legislation could result in the government taking away their land as soon as species are found there. We need to pass legislation that would make Canadians full partners in species protection. We need legislation that would not remove people from nature but instead finds ways to have people and wildlife living in harmony. We should not risk arbitrary legislation but legislation that would encourage co-operation.
Other Canadians are worried that the bill would include too much discretion. They fear that the government will not act. As a committee we added many reporting requirements to ensure that no government would be able to ignore a species at risk in Canada. Every species at risk listed by the independent scientists of the committee on the status of endangered wildlife in Canada, COSEWIC, would receive the attention of the government within 90 days.
I am proud to support a government amendment to Bill C-5 that would add every single species recommended by COSEWIC for immediate protection to the legal list. This clearly demonstrates how seriously the government takes its job to prevent any more species from extinction.
I also support a government motion that would restore the accountability of the government for decisions to protect species and habitat. Canadians expect that decisions that may affect their lives and livelihoods will be made by the people they elect to represent them. We cannot shirk our responsibility and pass the buck to non-elected scientists to make these tough decisions for us. We need to keep the scientific and political processes separate but co-ordinated and accountable.
At this time when we have already accomplished a better understanding of our shared jurisdictional responsibilities the provinces and territories are concerned that this act would undermine their own work to protect species and habitat. We need to maintain their full partnership for species protection in Canada. They manage the majority of lands where species live and we need their full participation in wildlife protection.
We should not dictate to provinces and territories how to protect species and habitat under their jurisdiction. We need the provinces and territories as equal partners. We need to work with them to find the most effective ways of protecting species and habitat. This is what we committed to do when we all signed the accord for the protection of species at risk in 1996. We need to ensure Bill C-5 is consistent with the co-operative approach that we agreed to under that accord.
We are all in this together. Canadians overwhelmingly support passing the species legislation and they want us to get on with the job of protecting species at risk. We can achieve this by making new partners and improving the partnerships we have already started.
Once passed, Bill C-5 would help us off to a good start and 233 species at risk across Canada along with their residences would be protected by law. Recovery strategies for all 233 species at risk would proceed. When parliament reviews the legislation in five years' time I am absolutely certain that we would look back at the legislation as a seminal period, when we made Canadian wildlife much safer and that we delivered on our commitment to pass along a stronger natural legacy for future generations.
Species at Risk Act
Government Orders
1:55 p.m.
Rodger Cuzner Bras D'Or—Cape Breton, NS
Mr. Speaker, I am against a group of motions that put cost effectiveness into the purposes section of the bill. The purpose of the proposed species at risk bill is to protect and recover species at risk. The assessments of the status of species prepared by COSEWIC are based on the best available information on the biological status of the species.
In determining whether a species is at risk these independent experts examine scientific information as well as aboriginal and community knowledge about the biological status of the species. The bill is clear that social and economic factors would not influence COSEWIC's decisions.
Similarly, the goals for the recovery of the endangered species as set out in recovery strategies would be biological objectives. Recovery strategies would set out population and distribution objectives that must be met for the survival of a species. They would identify threats to a species and its critical habitat where possible.
As in the case with COSEWIC assessments social economics would not factor into developing biological information. SARA is firm that we should not interfere with science. However, when we respond to the science we need to think about social economics.
The bill has safeguards to make sure that other important needs of Canadians would not be ignored. There are several situations under the bill where social and economic factors must be taken into account. These factors are taken into account by the government in determining how to respond to COSEWIC's assessments.
Under any federal legislation there must be consultation involved in making of orders and regulations. This allows for an opportunity to consider social and economic impacts. SARA is no exception in this regard. For example, there are orders to legally list species and regulations to implement recovery strategies, action plans and management plans.
National Flag of Canada Day
Statements By Members
1:55 p.m.
Gérard Binet Frontenac—Mégantic, QC
Mr. Speaker, last Friday was National Flag of Canada Day.
This day is an occasion to recognize the most important symbol of our country, the maple leaf. Along with the national anthem, the flag is the most important symbol of a country. The flag represents not just the land and the people, but also its values.
First raised on February 15, 1965, Canada's national flag symbolizes our hope for the future and our ability to triumph over hard times and remain strong in the face of adversity.
In this period of uncertainty, the Canadian flag assures us that our values and our way of life will not be jeopardized.
National Flag of Canada Day is a time to reflect on how tremendously lucky we are to live in this vast and magnificent land.

Roy H. Bailey Souris—Moose Mountain, SK
Mr. Speaker, today I pay tribute to Bill Barclay, dominion president of the Royal Canadian Legion, who passed away on February 11, 2002. This past Friday roughly 1,000 people showed up for the funeral in his hometown of Coleville, Saskatchewan, which only has a population of 300.
Bill Barclay assumed the office of dominion president on May 27, 2000, after the sudden death of then president Chuck Murphy. During his tenure, Mr. Barclay oversaw the legion's 75th anniversary, the continuance of progress in the ongoing fight for veterans' benefits, the growth in Canada's commitments to remembrance and the teaching of history in Canada's school systems.
He did his country and fellow veterans a great service and I am proud to stand today to give him honour and respect which he well deserved. Bill Barclay served this country with distinction.
National Flag Day
Statements By Members
February 18th, 2002 / 2 p.m.
Bryon Wilfert Oak Ridges, ON
Mr. Speaker, it was with pride that we celebrated National Flag Day on February 15. Six years have passed since the government proclaimed February 15 as National Flag Day. Our flag is recognized around the world. Canadians wear it both at home and abroad with pride.
It was with great pride and admiration that we watched our gold medallist, Catriona LeMay Doan, carry our flag during the opening ceremonies of the Olympics in Salt Lake City. We were doubly proud to witness the raising of our flag and the playing of our national anthem during the medal ceremonies when three of our athletes received their gold medals.
Our flag has been a continuous source of pride for our nation since it was inaugurated in 1965. The creation of our own distinctive flag came to be in the early sixties when Prime Minister Pearson proposed a flag with three red maple leaves on a single stem on a field of white and a blue bar on either side. His proposal met with opposition in various quarters. Eventually a parliamentary committee, after viewing countless submissions, proposed our present flag with the red and white colours, as those are the official colours of Canada proclaimed by King George V in 1921.
Our flag is a symbol of who we are as a nation. That is why I salute the adoption and the promotion of National Flag Day.

John Harvard Charleswood—St. James—Assiniboia, MB
Mr. Speaker, I was saddened to learn last week of the passing of a man who was a friend to many of us, Horace "Bud" Olsen. Bud, as he liked to be called, was a cabinet minister, a senator and former lieutenant-governor of Alberta.
His posts included minister of agriculture, senate opposition leader, minister of economic and regional development and chairman of the cabinet committee on economic development.
Bud Olsen was known for his strong personality and for his ability to tell things as they were. He often said he got into trouble for his straightforward attitude, but more often his style was one that Albertans and others found refreshing. He will be greatly missed.
Bud Olsen was a man who dedicated his life to public service. I am sure that all members of the House will join me in extending our deepest sympathies to his wife, Lucille, and to all his many friends and family.

Mr. Speaker, it gives me great pleasure to rise in the House today to acknowledge the accomplishments of Canadian athletes who achieved top eight results over the past week at the Salt Lake City Olympics.

Mr. Speaker, on behalf of Bloc Quebecois members, I wish to congratulate skaters Jamie Salé and David Pelletier on their gold medal in pairs at the Salt Lake City Olympic Winter Games.
I had the personal honour of attending the exceptional performance of these two athletes. It was a moment of intense emotion for everyone.
Jamie Salé and David Pelletier are two athletes with talent to spare. They skated with strength and determination, and their customary professionalism. And they deserve much credit for the dignity with which they handled the uncertain and confusing events of the week.
The Bloc Quebecois feels that our athletes and trainers deserve decent financial support from the federal government.
It is now up to us to recognize their talents and give them the resources they so badly need.

Mr. Speaker, while the Prime Minister continues to mutter his support for Kyoto, his policies leave much to be desired. Rather than listening to the oil companies and Ralph Klein, the Prime Minister should take the advice of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities meeting in Ottawa this week.
Unlike the federal government, the FCM has a detailed plan to reduce emissions and help Canada meet its Kyoto commitments. It has called on Canada to achieve at least 75% of its Kyoto target through domestic reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. These reductions would create local jobs, save on energy costs and improve air quality and the health of Canadians.
The nearly 90 municipal government members of FCM's partners for climate protection program could reduce emissions by 30 megatonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent within the next 10 years if they reach their targets, contributing almost 20% to Canada's Kyoto target.
I urge the federal government to support FCM's position and assist it in any manner that it can.

Mr. Speaker, Sunday, February 10 was the third day of Olympic competition in Salt Lake City and it was the day that Canada won its first medal.
Cindy Klassen of Winnipeg had a bronze medal finish in the ladies 3,000 metre speed skating event with a time of three minutes and 58.97 seconds, a personal best and a new Canadian record.
Klassen, although a long time hockey player in Winnipeg, had not tried speed skating until 1997. She quickly rose to the top of her new sport and is a consistent top 10 finisher in international competitions. This is only her second year on the national team.
Cindy also took part in yesterday's 1,000 metre race where she had a 13th place finish and again set a personal best time. On Wednesday she will compete in her strongest event, the 1,500 metre race, and once more in the 5,000 metre race on Saturday.
At only 22 years of age, Cindy Klassen captured a sense of pride among all Canadians, most especially Winnipeggers. We wish her luck in her remaining two races.

Mr. Speaker, a recently released study conducted by an international group of fisheries scientists has revealed that fish stocks are in decline and that fishing fleets in the North Atlantic must be seriously reduced if depleted fish stocks are ever to recover.
Many of these stocks are within Canadian waters. Others are within the waters we should manage, such as the nose and tail of the Grand Banks and the Flemish Cap.
It is time for the government to show some leadership in addressing this problem and to show some intestinal fortitude by unilaterally extending management control over these regions which are really extensions of our continental shelf. Unfortunately, we have not learned from past experience. As the old saying goes, those who fail to learn from the past are doomed to repeat it.
If the fishery dies, then much of rural Canada will die as well. That is not a legacy any of us want to leave.

Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to offer congratulations to Catriona LeMay Doan. Catriona won the gold medal in the 500 metre speed skating event at the Olympic Games in Salt Lake City last week. This comes exactly four years after winning the gold at the Olympic Games at Nagano. She continues to set Olympic and world records in her sport.
Catriona, who is originally from Saskatoon, is a source of pride not only for Saskatoon and Saskatchewan residents, but for all Canadians. Her skill, determination and grace are an inspiration to all of us. While Canada may not have the highest medal count, we can be assured that our athletes will face each situation and event with dignity and grace.
Canadian athletes are among the finest at these games. We are proud of our athletes. As the Canadian team continues to participate in these Olympic events, I wish to extend on behalf of the constituents of Saskatoon--Rosetown--Biggar our very best wishes.

Mr. Speaker, February is Heart Month in Canada. It is a time to raise awareness about the things Canadians should be doing to reduce their risk of heart attacks and strokes. This includes following a heart healthy diet, exercising regularly and abstaining from cigarettes.
Cardiovascular diseases impose a devastating burden on Canadians, accounting for over 36% of deaths annually and placing a significant hardship and diminished quality of life upon those living with these conditions.
As our population ages, we can expect to see an increase in Canadians living with the crippling effects of heart disease and stroke.
Today representatives from the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada, the Canadian Cardiovascular Society and the Canadian Council of Cardiovascular Nurses are on the Hill meeting with parliamentarians. They are here to speak to us about the essential role that the federal government must play in improving our health system and in reducing the burden of cardiovascular diseases.
I call upon all parliamentarians to raise awareness in their communities about the benefits of leading a heart healthy lifestyle. Our efforts in that regard will save lives.

Mr. Speaker, with last evening's Jutra Awards, we once again had proof of the exceptional talent of Quebec's film artists and artisans.
André Turpin's film Un crabe dans la tête was the top winner, with seven statuettes in all.
Pierre Falardeau's 15 février 1839 received a total of four Jutras, one of these to Luc Picard as for best actor, for his gripping portrayal of the Chevalier de Lorimier.
Great patriot that he is, Pierre Falardeau believes that the battle of 1837 will not be over until Quebecers are at last fully independent within their own territory, the legacy of their hard-working and determined ancestors.
Bravo as well to Élise Guilbault, who was named best actress for her performance in La femme qui boit , and to Anne-Claire Poirier, who was awarded the Jutra-Hommage 2002 in recognition of her body of work.
The Bloc Quebecois congratulates all the honourees at this award ceremony.

Mr. Speaker, Quebec Premier Bernard Landry is describing the coming Quebec legislation on lobbyists as the "most advanced in the world". Alas, the reality is not so grand.
This Quebec bill, which has been hurriedly cobbled together, does not in any way respond to the concerns raised by the Landry government's sleight of hand with funding. The real problem is not with the lobbyists, but with the politicians. The real problem is the system put in place by the former finance minister, that is Bernard Landry, to channel funding through eight not-for-profit organizations.
Thanks to this system, the PQ government has been able to keep some $700 million away from the scrutiny of Quebec's elected representatives and its public; not only are these funds out of reach of the access to information legislation, but they are being administered by representatives of the funded organizations themselves, and by members of the PQ buddy system.

Ponytail wedding hairstyle with flower
Striking strawberry-blonde hair is styled simply for this bridal look. A deep-angled part on one side has the fringe swept across the forehead in a shining cap, ends tucked behind the opposite ear. The other side is balanced by a nicely-placed white bloom just above the ear. The rest of the hair is brushed back down into a low knot slightly to the side, bringing the long tail splayed out with all its large, combed waves in front of the shoulder.

Moldova Open Innovation Week 2012 was held from May 14-20 in Chisinau. Attended by more than 100 technology developers and civil society representatives, this was a follow-up event to TechCamp Moldova, a State Department event held last summer that focused on capacity-building for civil society on the themes of open government and transparency.
Open Innovation Week aimed to engage private sector and civil society in support of Moldova's Open Government National Action Plan, which was developed consistent with Moldova's role as a participant in the Open Government Partnership (OGP). A new multilateral initiative, OGP aims to secure concrete commitments from participant governments to promote transparency, empower citizens, fight corruption, and harness new technologies to strengthen governance.
The week's events included "Data Driven Journalism Bootcamp for Moldovan Media,""Moldova ICT Summit," a mini-TechCamp, and a Hackathon entitled "Apps for Moldova." The mini-TechCamp continued the important work of building the digital literacy of civil society and defining their local challenges, while the Hackathon aimed to address some of those challenges by leveraging open government data to develop mobile applications.
It was exciting to see effective and useful apps emerge during the mini-TechCamp and Hackathon. One of the apps allows users to map and rate doctors in the local area, while one of the widgets that was developed displays open government data from various websites. The State Department participated as a part of the team of judges who selected the top apps, four of which received funding from the eGovernment Center. Wayne Burke, the event's facilitator, offers his detailed account here.
Oleg Petrov, an open government champion at the World Bank, orchestrated the recent "Apps for Moldova" Hackathon. Petrov said, "[This project] is a rather innovative concept which we are testing here in Moldova and that we hope to repeat on a regular basis in other areas in partnership with the U.S. State Department and many others."
And for good reason! Open Innovation Week and the Hackathon were just two of the results of TechCamp Moldova. Those who attended the TechCamp last year continue to work toward more open government initiatives. For example, Stela Mocan, head of the eGovernment Center said, "[TechCamp] was the first time that we understood why we would use open data." Since TechCamp, Stela and her team have worked closely with the World Bank to shape these ideas into reality.
The Moldovan government has also started to take notice by appointing a representative in each ministry to handle open government issues. Several projects now underway to advance Moldova' Open Government commitments include:
- An online map of all NGOs in Moldova that allows citizens to identify and utilize available services is now being funded by FHI 360 and is expected to launch this summer;
- A "Foreign Aid Monitoring System" platform to provide foreign aid information to citizens, who can also use it as a tool to monitor government spending;
- Apps like alerte.md, a crowdsourcing platform for tracking social problems, such as damaged roads that need government attention, and afla.md, a platform for rating schools and teachers to help foster communication between parents, teachers, and government authorities;
- Hai Moldova, an app by Trimetrica, is now motivating the citizens to participate in large-scale trash cleanups in their city. Check out the video here.
The success of projects like these, along with a growing interest and understanding of the importance of opening new data sets for public consumption, is a huge win for Moldova. It will be exciting to see what comes next. You can learn more about the TechCamp and Apps for Moldova in this video.

Elpida Memory, a maker of dynamic random access memory (XDR) from
"The XDR architecture offers specific advantages for digital consumer applications, including extraordinarily high bandwidth per pin. Digital consumer applications represent the fastest growing segment of the market for Elpida Memory, and now that we are producing these devices on our 90nm process, we expect to produce higher yield in response to the great demand," said Yoshitaka Kinoshita, executive officer for the digital consumer division of Elpida Memory.
Elpida's 512Mb XDR DRAM devices are organized as 4M words x 16-bits x 8 banks and operate at 4.0GHz, providing bandwidth of 8GB/s per device. Even though similar devices were available already a year ago, 90nm production greatly improves abilities of Elpida to supply such chips in mass quantities.
XDR DRAM can operate at 3.20GHz to 6.40GHz clock-speeds, providing industry leading bandwidth per pin, which is a benefit for networking and consumer applications.
Numerous leading consumer electronics companies, such as Panasonic, Sony and Toshiba said they would adopt Rambus' XDR memory for their devices, including Sony's PlayStation 3 console and Panasonic's digital TV-sets. Certain networking companies are also interested in XDR.

Heck yeah Norma...pizza looks great. And for that style of pie I would think that as long as you have what you just got there out of the Lehmann dough(light an puffy)...who's going to complain.Make life easier, right.
BTW, my local place called "Italian Pizzeria" serves NY and Sicilian pies and they use the same dough. Their NYer is pretty darn good. They are Italian guys that had a few pizza joints in NYC and now have several shops down here in NC.
Nice looking pizza Norma. I bet it tasted fantastic. In my home oven, I have to stay with Pizza screens. Pan pizzas do not come out well for me. However, you pizza looks wonderful. Wish I lived near your place so i could try it.TomN
