The Environment
Statements By Members
March 17th, 2000 / 11 a.m.
Brent St. Denis Algoma—Manitoulin, ON
Mr. Speaker, I want to commend our government for its commitment to preserving and promoting the environmental integrity of the Great Lakes. I am from the north shore area of Lake Huron, so I appreciate how important all of the lakes are to those communities which depend on marine tourism and commercial fishing.
In the latest federal budget a new commitment of $8 million per year for three years was made to assist in the clean-up of 16 areas of concern identified by the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement.
Further, the latest report from the International Joint Commission, entitled "Protection of the Waters of the Great Lakes", supports the government's action contained in Bill C-15, which will prohibit the bulk removal of water from Canada's major drainage basins, especially the Great Lakes.
While Canada recognizes the need to ensure safe, clean water for all citizens of the world, simply removing water in bulk from the Great Lakes is not the answer. Simply put, the ecology of the Great Lakes Basin is too fragile.
These are firm actions by the government to protect the Great Lakes—

Via Rail
Statements By Members
11 a.m.
Jim Gouk West Kootenay—Okanagan, BC
Mr. Speaker, I have good news and bad news.
The good news is that the federal government's official subsidy of VIA Rail was reduced from $212 million in 1997 to $178 million in 1998. The bad news is that VIA's losses went from $253 million in 1997 to $261 million in 1998. Who picks up the difference? The Canadian taxpayer. Perhaps that is why the Minister of Transport went to cabinet and asked for the subsidy to be increased from $500,000 a day to almost $2 million a day.
The good news is that the Rocky Mountaineer, a private sector rail tour company, installed sewage containment units on all of its rail cars years ago. The bad news is that VIA Rail continues to dump raw sewage on the tracks wherever it goes. CN and CP workers have to work on these tracks, which make for unbelievably bad working conditions and possible health risks. If VIA is forced to make the same change as the private sector voluntarily did, the Canadian taxpayer will be asked to pick up the bill.
When is the government going to stop wasting the taxpayers' money and privatize VIA Rail?
Henderson Hospital
Statements By Members
11 a.m.
Beth Phinney Hamilton Mountain, ON
Mr. Speaker, the Harris government continues to claim that the federal government contributes only 13% to public health care spending in Ontario, when in fact the real number is 33%. That government still has half a billion dollars in federal health care cash from last year in the bank. That money could be used to enhance health care in Ontario. Rather, it is contemplating the closure of Henderson Hospital, the only hospital on Hamilton Mountain.
The constituents of Hamilton Mountain have spoken. They want and need this hospital. Twelve hundred people attended a rally last week to tell the Harris government to use the health care cash and keep Henderson Hospital open.
I congratulate the provincial Liberal member for Hamilton Mountain, Marie Boutriani, for her efforts to keep this hospital open.
The federal government has shown its commitment to health care. Now it is time for the provincial government to do the same and keep Henderson Hospital on Hamilton Mountain open.
The Budget
Statements By Members
11 a.m.
Sophia Leung Vancouver Kingsway, BC
Mr. Speaker, in my riding of Vancouver Kingsway last week I met with local small business owners to discuss the federal budget. I am very proud to report to the House that those business owners were very positive toward the government's budget provisions and tax reductions for the business sector. They will go a long way to support not only businesses but also the communities in which they operate.
This action by our government proves that Canada is on the right track to support our economy and business development in Canada.
Liberal Party Of Canada
Statements By Members
11 a.m.
Claude Drouin Beauce, QC
Mr. Speaker, yesterday, the member for Joliette once again displayed his ignorance. He is so nervous about losing his seat in the next election that he has already started attacking our party.
I would like to point out in this House that the Liberal Party of Canada has invited young people between 14 and 18, with the permission of all their parents, to savour a unique experience—participating in the political process of a major party. Nothing was done unbeknownst to anyone.
Allow me, however, to salute the young people of Joliette, who are here in this House and who have revealed their desire to learn, their interest in the future and their wish to assume their place in society. Welcome to Ottawa.
It would be appropriate for the member from Joliette to make a public apology and inform the people of Joliette that the incompetence and irresponsibility are not ours.
The members of the sovereignist party want the voting age lowered to 16, so long as the voters are separatist, I imagine. The member should be ashamed of worrying their parents and especially of implying that the young people had no idea why they were here in Ottawa.
The Family Farm
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Jay Hill Prince George—Peace River, BC
Mr. Speaker, the people of Toronto saw a strange sight this week. Motorists travelling the infamously congested highways around Canada's largest city found a big red Massey-Ferguson combine in the lane next to them. That combine is named Prairie Belle, driven by my constituent Nick Parsons from Dawson Creek, B.C.
Nick set out on February 1 from the small rural community of Farmington, British Columbia on a 3,000-plus kilometre odyssey to Ottawa. The purpose: to raise awareness for the family farm income crisis which is forcing western producers into bankruptcy.
To welcome Nick to Ottawa I am hosting a rally on Monday, March 20 at 11 a.m. in front of the centennial flame on Parliament Hill. I invite all those interested in showing their support for Nick or welcoming him to the nation's capital to come out on Monday morning.
The Irish People
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Pat O'Brien London—Fanshawe, ON
Mr. Speaker, the coat of arms of Canada bears among its symbols the Royal Harp of Tara and the Shamrock of St. Patrick to recognize the outstanding contribution of the Irish people in the formation of our blessed nation.
The Irish began to arrive in a trickle as early as the 17th century in Newfoundland. That trickle became a river during the 18th and early 19th centuries. That river became a great flood of Irish refugees during the tragic years of the great famine in Ireland.
By the time of confederation in 1867 fully one-third of the people of Canada were of Irish origin, including the visionary Father of Confederation, Thomas D'Arcy McGee.
Today some four million Canadians are of Irish ancestry. Former prime ministers Lester B. Pearson, Louis St. Laurent and Brian Mulroney all shared Irish ancestry. Some 70 MPs in the House of Commons are of Irish ancestry, by far the largest cultural representation after French and English.
Today I wish the people of Canada and Ireland a very happy St. Patrick's Day.
Bill C-20
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Jocelyne Girard-Bujold Jonquière, QC
Mr. Speaker, Bill C-20 is undemocratic. We already know this and have said so on many occasions. Now it is the turn of the French political community to point out that this bill is an affront to democracy.
"If this bill is passed, Quebecers will lose, within Canada, their right to self-determination" says Jacques Julliard, in the weekly Le Nouvel Observateur . "There is an inexorability about the Anglo-Saxon steam roller. Hegemony is not enough—it wants the other to disappear".
The Bloc Quebecois echoes Jacques Julliard, who is calling on French parliamentarians to come to the defence of democracy by "pointing out publicly that passage of Bill C-20 would an affront to the francophone community".
In the land of liberty, equality and fraternity, democracy involves respect for the people. Bill C-20, unfortunately, proves Canada's lack of respect for the people of Quebec.
3Rd Battalion Of Royal 22Nd Regiment
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Marlene Jennings Notre-Dame-de-Grâce—Lachine, QC
Mr. Speaker, I am certain that all members of this House will join with me in expressing our gratitude and admiration to the 250 or so military personnel, most of them members of the 3rd battalion of Valcartier's Royal 22nd Regiment, who will soon be returning from East Timor.
Despite the dangerous conditions to which they were frequently exposed, despite numerous natural and man-made hazards, our soldiers have established and maintained a sizeable peace zone. They have also affected the lives of thousands of East Timorese by providing them with the basic necessities of life: medical care, food and drinking water in particular.
We acknowledge the exceptional job that our military personnel have done in this distant part of the world, with the support of their family members back in Canada. We congratulate both them and their families and wish them a safe journey home to their loved ones.
Highway Accident In Saint-Jean-Baptiste-De-Nicolet
Statements By Members
11:10 a.m.
Grant Hill Macleod, AB
Mr. Speaker, the pictures of yesterday's tragic highway accident near Nicolet are horrifying and terribly sad. Seven young children lost their lives in this terrible accident and others are in serious condition.
Accidents like this, particularly when the victims are so young, remind us just how precious life is.
There is nothing more painful for a parent than to lose a child and nothing can fill the void left within the family. Our prayers and thoughts are with all the survivors, as well as with the families and friends of the children who lost their lives. We extend our deepest sympathies to them all.
Lord Byng Secondary School
Statements By Members
11:10 a.m.
Ted McWhinney Vancouver Quadra, BC
Mr. Speaker, next Monday, March 20, a group of talented young musicians from Lord Byng Secondary School in my riding of Vancouver Quadra will offer a noon hour concert in the Hall of Honour from 12 noon to 12.45 p.m. Their performance on Parliament Hill is part of a millennium tour across Canada organized by the group for March 16 to March 24.
I invite all members to drop by and take part in this special concert by one of Canada's finest secondary school orchestras.
Aboriginal Affairs
Statements By Members
11:10 a.m.
Bill Blaikie Winnipeg—Transcona, MB
Mr. Speaker, today I call the attention of the House to a growing concern on the part of many Canadians that the issue of compensation for aboriginal victims of the residential school system is not being dealt with adequately by the government.
In their view, the government should be showing more leadership and more willingness to share the cost with the churches. Surely it is important to make sure that the churches involved do not go bankrupt or are so severely economically damaged that much of their social service and social action work will have to be eliminated just to survive.
It is also important that justice be accomplished swiftly for those who have legitimate claims. This cannot be done if this issue drags on for years, claim by claim.
The churches must and will take their share of the responsibility, but let us not forget that they participated in this social and cultural tragedy at the behest of and in co-operation with the federal government.

Advanced Micro Devices today added some new chips for ultra low-power embedded applications into the lineup of its offerings. Separately, the company proposed a yet another rating system for embedded chips that should reflect power consumption as well as performance of microprocessors.
Speed and Power – Something You Need to Know About Embedded x86
The new Performance-Power Rating (PPR) was developed to emphasize the importance of the balance between performance and power for the embedded x86 processor market. AMD is the first company to introduce a performance-power rating for design engineers to better evaluate an x86 embedded processor, and expects this solution to accelerate the embedded x86 processor evaluation process. Using the PPR, AMD has developed a new model number system for AMD Geode Solutions.
With the new Performance-Power Rating, AMD is setting out to assist customers to understand the benefits of power consumption in the embedded market. The PPR drives a new, more accurate measure of embedded processor performance for standard applications.
From now on, AMD's Geode processors will be marked as Model Number @ Power Consumption (e.g, email@example.com). Model number is not core-clock, but is a kind of performance rating.
AMD will use model numbers that are based on the benchmarks developed by Synchromesh Computing to identify the AMD Geode processors. The new model numbers designate relative performance and increase the visibility of power consumption when it is a consideration.
New Geode Chips Make the Way
In conjunction with the introduction of its new Performance-Power Rating, AMD today announced a new line of low-power, high-performance AMD Geode processors, the AMD Geode NX 1500@6W processor and the AMD Geode NX 1750@14W processor.
The Geode NX 1500@6W processor operates at 1.00GHz. Geode NX 1750@14W operates at 1.40GHz.
The AMD Geode NX processors are designed for high-end thin clients, high-end printers, point-of-sale systems, information and transaction kiosks and telecommunications and networking equipment.
In addition to introducing the AMD Geode NX processors, AMD is renaming the current AMD Geode GX2 processor, in accordance with Performance-Power Rating, to AMD Geode GX email@example.com processor. Also, available is the AMD Geode GX email@example.com processor and the AMD Geode email@example.com processor.
The Geode GX firstname.lastname@example.com processor operates at 400MHz. The Geode GX firstname.lastname@example.com processor operates at 366MHz and the Geode GX 466@.9W processor operates at 333MHz.
All the mentioned products are available today in quantities starting from 10 000 units. AMD Geode GX firstname.lastname@example.com costs $26.50; AMD Geode GX email@example.com is quoted at $29.10; AMD Geode GX firstname.lastname@example.com is priced at $32.75; AMD Geode NX 1500@6W sells for $65.00; AMD Geode NX 1750@14W is available for $55.00.

Call for Panels 2013
June 7 – 9
Pace University
New York City
We need to mobilize now! The planet and humankind are in peril. The climate is warming, glaciers are melting, seas are rising, droughts are spreading and species are going extinct, all caused by unsustainable development and overconsumption of every resource on the planet. Meanwhile the ongoing economic crisis – the worst since the Great Depression - has devastated working people around the world with astronomical rates of unemployment, falling incomes and brutal austerity measures. Everywhere, the people least responsible for these interrelated crises are bearing their brunt, in particular people in developing countries, women who are the bulk of ecological refugees, and people of color. Bangladesh with its floods and factory fires is a tragic case in point. These twin crises reveal the destructive – indeed eco-suicidal - nature of capitalism's inherent drive to growth, where everything in nature has a price, and nothing has a value, including human life.
At the same time, new forms of anti-capitalist and horizontal democratic resistance are emerging everywhere. There is reason to hope, as the basic question of who should own the Earth is coming to the fore. Come to this year's Left Forum to explore the environmental and movement-building imperatives that make another world not only possible but necessary.
Panel Submission Deadline: April 13th 2013
For inquiries, contact firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Human League
Signing with the indie label Fast, in 1978 the Human League issued their first single, "Being Boiled"; a minor underground hit, it was followed by a tour in support of Siouxsie & the Banshees. After a 1979 EP, The Dignity of Labour, the group released its first full-length effort, Reproduction, a dark, dense work influenced largely by Kraftwerk. Travelogue followed the next year and reached the U.K. Top 20; still, internal tensions forced Ware and Marsh to quit the group in late 1980, at which time they formed the British Electronic Foundation. Their departure forced Wright to begin learning to play the synthesizer; at the same time, Oakey recruited bassist Ian Burden as well as a pair of schoolgirls, Susanne Sulley and Joanne Catherall, to handle additional vocal duties.
The first single from the revamped Human League, 1981's "Boys and Girls," reached the British Top 50; recorded with producer Martin Rushent, the follow-up "Sound of the Crowd" fell just shy of the Top Ten. Their next single, "Love Action," reached number three, and after adding ex-Rezillo Jo Callis the League issued "Open Your Heart," another hit. Still, their true breakthrough was the classic single "Don't You Want Me," from the album Dare!; both topped their respective charts in England, and went on to become major hits in the U.S. as well. A tour of the States followed, but new music was extremely slow in forthcoming; after a remix disc, Love and Dancing, the Human League finally issued 1983's Fascination! EP, scoring a pair of hits with "Mirror Man" and "(Keep Feeling) Fascination."
The much-anticipated full-length Hysteria finally surfaced in mid-1984, heralding a more forceful sound than earlier Human League releases; the record failed to match the massive success of Dare!, however, with the single "The Lebanon" earning insignificant airplay. The group soon went on indefinite hiatus, and Oakey recorded a 1985 solo LP with famed producer Giorgio Moroder titled simply Philip Oakey & Giorgio Moroder. To the surprise of many, the Human League resurfaced in 1986 with Crash, produced by the duo of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis; the plaintive lead single "Human" soon topped the U.S. charts, but the group failed to capitalize on its comeback success, disappearing from the charts for the remainder of the decade.
When the Human League finally returned in 1990 with Romantic?, their chart momentum had again dissipated, and the single "Heart Like a Wheel" barely managed to rise into the Top 40. The record was the band's last with longtime label Virgin; now a trio consisting of Oakey, Sulley, and Catherall, they ultimately signed with the EastWest label, teaming with producer Ian Stanley for 1995's Octopus. The album went largely unnoticed both at home and overseas, with the single "Stay With Me Tonight" issued solely in the U.K. A resurgent interest in synth pop and post-punk during the early 2000s enabled the group's 2001 album Secrets considerable press coverage, which saw the group update its early sound. Four years later, they released Live at the Dome. ~ Jason Ankeny

Z9000 Adjuvant Imatinib Trial
|Posted by Julie Royster (jroyster) on Oct 17 2008
|GIST In the News >>
Z9000 Trial of Adjuvant Imatinib: Interim Results
At the ASCO GI Cancers Symposium in January 2008 Ronald DeMatteo, M.D. presented early results for the Z9000 trial of adjuvant Gleevec for high-risk tumors. Click the presentation title below to link to the abstract. After linking to the abstract on the ASCO site, you can click the icons shown below the abstract to either hear a webcast and see the slides (video icon) or to see the slides only (slides icon).
Title: Efficacy of adjuvant imatinib mesylate following complete resection of localized, primary gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) at high risk of recurrence: The U.S. Intergroup phase II trial ACOSOG Z9000.
Authors: R. P. DeMatteo, K. Owzar, C. R. Antonescu, R. Maki, G. D. Demetri, M. McCarter, M. von Mehren, P. Pisters, M. F. Brennan, K. V. Ballman
The Z9000 trial included GIST patients with high-risk tumors: either large tumors (>10 cm), tumors that had ruptured, or those with no more then 4 peritoneal metastases present at surgery. Between 2001 and 2003 a total of 107 evaluable patients were accrued. Subjects began taking imatinib (Gleevec) within 84 days of surgery and continued taking it for one year at a dose of 400 mg/day. The outcome measures of the study, designed to be compared to historical controls, were overall survival, recurrence-free survival, and toxicity. Dr. DeMatteo previously presented the toxicity data, and this interim analysis focused on the overall and recurrence-free survival results after 4 years of follow-up.
Historically, patients with GISTs over 10 cm had a median overall survival of about 2 years, and about 40% survived for 3 years. The Z9000 trial asked whether 1 year of imatinib taken post-resection would improve these statistics. The trial subjects fell mostly into the large-tumor category (84%) but 17% had tumor rupture and 13% had peritoneal metastases. Half the subjects had gastric GISTs, while 42% had GISTs of the small intestine.
Overall survival: 99% survived to the 1-year point (the year of imatinib). Survival was 97% at 2 years and also at 3 years. This indicates the effectiveness of resuming imatinib after recurrence as a means of extending survival.
Recurrence-free survival: 94% at 1 year (the end of the year of imatinib), 73% at 2 years, and 61% at 3 years. Dr. DeMatteo described that the slope of the graphed line for recurrence-free survival changes after about 18 months, indicating that the protective effect from the 1 year of imatinib diminishes after it is stopped.
Dr. DeMatteo compared these results to those from Z9001, another ongoing trial of adjuvant imatinib. The data for the Z9000 study and the data for the large-tumor group from the Z9001 study fell virtually overlayed on top of each other through the 2-year mark when plotted on the same graph.
Showing Z9000 results grouped by tumor mutation status, Dr. DeMatteo reported that patients with exon 9 mutations of the KIT gene quickly experienced recurrence once imatinib was stopped (0% recurrence-free survival at 2 years). Patients with exon-11 mutations showed about 62% recurrence-free survival at 3 years. PDGFRA-mutant patients had the most favorable results, with about 90% recurrence-free at 3 years. Patients without detectable mutations (wild-type) showed about 77% recurrence-free survival at 3 years.
In conclusion, Dr. DeMatteo repeated that for these GIST patients at high risk of disease recurrence, one year of imatinib prolonged overall survival and recurrence-free survival compared to historical controls.

I picked up Sylvia Boorstein's lovely book That's Funny, You Don't Look Buddhist years ago and loved it. Then, three years ago, I found myself on a panel discussion with her and loved her in person.
I was struck in that discussion by one story she told, about a man who participated in one of her meditation and Metta or "lovingkindness" retreats; she conducts these for Buddhist practitioners but also for rabbis and clergy and lay people of many traditions. As this man prepared to pack up and go home, he described an unsettling sense of vulnerability, of openness to life which also meant that his defenses were down. He felt blessedly sheltered in the context of that retreat but far too exposed to take his newfound vulnerability out into the world.
This has its corollary in becoming a parent, I think. One's sense of sovereignty and safety goes into freefall — and stays there. But no one tells you this in advance! As the French theologian Louis Evely beautifully put it:
"(W)hen one becomes a father, or a mother, one suddenly sees oneself as vulnerable, in the most sensitive part of one's being; one is completely powerless to defend oneself, one is no longer free, one is tied up. To become a father is to experience an infinite dependency on an infinitely small, frail being, dependent on us and therefore omnipotent over our heart."
So how to live, how to love, how to know what we can do (and what we can't) to raise children who will participate in the world's beauty and its pain and be safe inside their skin. This too is a conundrum, a daunting challenge that we rarely name together. But it is always there if we are raising children not merely to be successful (and there's lots of advice about that), but to be good and grounded and kind.
As you might hear in the audio above, I went into this conversation with Sylvia Boorstein hoping for some practical wisdom about imparting such qualities of character. In the course of our time together, some of it in exchange with an audience of others with children in their lives, we circled back to the simplest and most daunting reality of all: our children are likely, in the end, to act and live as we act and live. Nurturing their inner lives means nurturing our inner lives, for their sake.
I couldn't have found a better conversation partner on this. Sylvia Boorstein has four grown children and seven grandchildren, and her spiritual practice is blessedly reality-based. Buddhism, of course, is at its core about embracing reality head on, about minimizing suffering in life by first acknowledging that suffering is a fact of life and resolving not to make it worse.
So, as she describes, this spiritual practice has helped her grasp that her lifelong tendency to worry is simply a quality she possesses, no more remarkable than the fact that she is short and has brown hair. Others of us may have a tendency towards anger, or to reach for sensory comfort when life throws its curve balls. The trick for achieving balance and joy in our own lives — a trick made both harder and more important by the presence of children who exhaust as well as delight us — is first to know this about ourselves.
Spiritual parenting, as Sylvia Boorstein describes it, is not about adding work or effort to our overly busy lives. It is about self-knowledge and "wise effort" that helps us live gracefully moment by moment. It is manifest as much in how we fold the laundry as in how we discipline or praise our children. She offers this, for example, as a simple piece of effort that can reorient our attitudes and responses in all kinds of situations. Rather than asking, "Am I pleased?" in any given situation, we can ask instead, "In this moment, am I able to care?"

In devising the recipe for their dream house in the Hamptons, celebrity chef Bobby Flay and actress Stephanie March make certain that summer entertaining is the primary ingredient
The Most Fashionable Rooms of the Week
In devising the recipe for their dream house in the Hamptons, celebrity chef Bobby Flay and actress Stephanie March make certain that summer entertaining is the primary ingredientMore
When actress Stephanie March met celebrity chef and Food Network star Bobby Flay more than 10 years ago, he was routinely spending weekends at his house in Southampton on Long Island. "There was an enormous white leather sofa in the living room and four flat-screen TVs," recalls the Texas-born actress, who grew up in a gracious home memorable for its butler's pantry, cedar-lined closets, and a living room appointed for leisurely visiting. "His place smelled like golf," she says.
But it wasn't just Flay's far-from-perfect aesthetics that turned off the elegant March, whose most familiar role as the unsmiling assistant district attorney Alexandra Cabot on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit belies her geniality. A passionate world traveler, she found regular visits to the East End confining. "Why are we here when there's a whole world out there?" she says she often wondered. "And I didn't know a soul," she adds.
It wasn't until the couple attended a friend's wedding in East Hampton years later that March had a change of heart. "We stayed in a cheap hotel and had a blast with a great group of people," she says. But there was still the matter of Flay's beloved bachelor pad, which, it turns out, he didn't love as much as he did Ms. March. "I had to make a choice, so I picked Stephanie," he says. The house, it was decided, would have to go.
Chef Bobby Flay and his wife, actress Stephanie March, in the outdoor kitchen of their house in Amagansett, New York, which was decorated by Tom Delavan. The stools are by Tolix, the stovetop grill and refrigerator are by Viking, and the oven is by Wood Stone; behind them is a wood-burning oven.
March wasted little time ridding their lives of Flay's unpalatable possessions. She put an ad in the East Hampton Star and staged what turned out to be one of the island's most storied tag sales. "She sold all of my furniture for lunch money!" Flay says with a laugh. Indeed, March prides herself on the sales technique she used that day. "If a customer wanted a chair, I insisted that a set of plates went with it," she says.
In the two years following the sale of the home, the couple found three houses they loved, but were outbid on all of them. Others appealed but would require major overhauls. "We had renovated our apartment in the city, and it was tough even though we had the best possible scenario: My business partner was the general contractor, and the guys who built my restaurants did the renovation," says Flay, referring to his six high-end restaurants and 15 burger bars. When the couple learned that a single builder was behind the trio of houses they liked, they surprised themselves by giving him a call.

The Big Game: Three-Part All-Access Series With Duke
Before the Duke Blue Devils won the ACC tournament championship on Sunday with a win over North Carolina, Lacrosse Magazine was embedded with the team in the days ahead of and including its April 13 victory over then-No. 1 Virginia, a win that began the Blue Devils' current hot streak that spurred them to the ACC crown this weekend. Duke has now beaten North Carolina, Maryland and Virginia in its last three games.
Check out our three-part all-access video series with the Blue Devils, which debuted last week, beginning with a look at the personality of the team and coach John Danowski, continuing with the approach for defending Virginia's Steele Stanwick and ending with a behind-the-scenes ridealong with the team before, during and after the upset of the Cavaliers.

In 1975, Marva Collins founded Westside Preparatory School in Chicago's Garfield Park neighborhood, a place of persistent and concentrated poverty. Renamed Marva Collins Prep, the school targeted disadvantaged students, many of whom had been classified by the public school as learning disabled. She was able to spur them to achieve at levels comparable to students in high-income neighborhoods.
Collins' success was profiled by CBS' "60 Minutes" in 1979 and became the subject of a movie in 1981 starring Cicely Tyson and Morgan Freeman.
This example (and others like it) proved that concentrated poverty, while predictive of low academic achievement, does not assure it. The Holy Grail of education reform has been the "pursuit of Marva Collins." For many years, it appeared that you couldn't replicate Marva Collins' success without Marva Collins-i.e., someone who combined unusual gifts of charisma, dedication and energy with exceptional teaching and leadership ability.
The charter school movement has been part of the quest. By freeing school leaders from the confines of some state regulations and district control, the movement has encouraged experimentation with curricula, teaching methods, school structure and governance.
In some states, the charter experience has resembled throwing spaghetti at a wall. Other states-including New York-have had a more deliberative authorizing process.
Like traditional public schools, some charter schools are effective and some are not. Responsible state authorizers close schools that don't measure up. As with Collins' school, the successful schools are studied for lessons to be shared.
Successful operators are encouraged to replicate their success in other locations, which has led to the creation of charter management organizations and education management organizations. CMOs both operate and manage schools. EMOs manage schools under contracts with operators.
How are they doing? Stanford's Center for Research on Education Outcomes just released a study of CMOs and EMOs. CREDO has been involved in charter school evaluations over the years.
Through a contract with 23 state educational agencies, CREDO employs a quasi-experimental research design that pairs charter school students with students in traditional public schools who have comparable demographic characteristics and test scores. The verdict for CMOs and EMOs is similar to that of charter schools overall: In the aggregate, the CMOs' performance is roughly equivalent to that of traditional public schools, although the CMOs do a better job serving historically disadvantaged students than do traditional public schools.
Some CMOs consistently outperform both independent charter schools and traditional public schools across all subgroups. CREDO singles out two CMOs for particular praise: KIPP Academies and Uncommon Schools. Largely because of vigorous recruitment by local business leader Joe Klein and others, Rochester became one of upstate's first Uncommon Schools outposts. CREDO reports that:
CREDO's summary? "KIPP and Uncommon Schools prove that it is possible to take innovation to scale and maintain a focus on quality." The CREDO analysis is worth careful study and makes a strong contribution to our understanding of charter school performance. Its findings will help charter school authorizers make better decisions about new and reauthorized charters.
See http://credo.stanford.edu/research-reports.html.
One finding of the study has implications that go beyond charter schools: Nearly all successful schools were successful from the beginning. Ninety-four percent of schools that were in the top quintile in their first year were in the top quintile in their fifth year. And 80 percent of schools beginning in the bottom quintile continued to fail their students through year five. The lessons:
Here in Rochester, we can hope that the lessons learned and implemented by Uncommon Schools can be embraced by both traditional public schools and other charter schools. They certainly don't have the only effective model for urban public education, but CREDO's data indicates that they have an effective model--and that they've learned how to replicate their success.

About the Office of Student Financial Assistance
The staff members in the Office of Student Financial Assistance serve students and their families now and throughout their time at Kansas State University.
The Office of Student Financial Assistance awards more than $230 million in scholarships, federal, state, university, and private financial aid every year. This year, we will process approximately 18,000 applications for K-State scholarships and 24,000 applications for federal financial aid.
Although these numbers seem substantial, our primary focus is to successfully guide each student through the scholarship and financial aid process. To assist in meeting this objective, every student at K-State is assigned a personal financial aid advisor. Our financial aid advisors are available to offer information to students and their families, such as how to apply for K-State scholarships or how to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
If students or their families have experienced unusual financial circumstances that do not accurately reflect the information provided on the FAFSA, our financial aid advisors are ready to review those circumstances through our financial aid appeal process. To inquire about filing a financial aid appeal, students should contact their financial aid advisor.
Debbie Gilman is the Financial Aid Advisor for students whose last names begin with A-G. Adam Dieker is the Financial Aid Advisor for students whose last names begin with H-O and Becky Fox is the Financial Aid Advisor for students whose last names begin with P-Z. Cindy Newell is the Financial Aid Advisor for students at the Kansas State Polytechnic campus. Debbie, Adam and Becky also serve students at the K-State Olathe campus and K-State Global campus.
In addition to our financial aid advisors, the rest of our office staff members are ready to serve students and their families Monday - Friday, from 8:00 a.m. to 4:45 p.m.
To make an appointment with a financial aid advisor or communicate with our office staff members, simply send an email message to us, give us a call, or stop by our office.
Please keep in mind that our office communicates with you through your official K-State email account and your Student Center within the K-State student information system, KSIS.
We encourage you to check your K-State email and your Student Center at least once a week so that we are able to efficiently and effectively serve you.
Please visit our website for a wealth of information about scholarships and financial aid.
We do all we can to assist students in reaching their academic goals.
Always a Wildcat,

The Columbus Dispatch - November 08, 2012 04:21 PM
A new building housing the relocated offices of the Affordable Housing Trust and Columbus and Franklin County, plus 10 apartments, was dedicated earlier today by Mayor Michael B. Coleman, neighborhood leaders and others.
The building, built with $2.2 million in federal money, went up on the site of a building known as the Charles at 905 E. Long St. It's just down the street from the Lincoln Theatre.
The eight two-bedroom and two three-bedroom Columbus Scholar House Apartments will be marketed to low-income residents. They are on the upper floor.

[qoute]well he certainly didn't have much to do with his son Julian....and that disturbs me[/qoute]
Right. It's always bothered me about Julian, sure. In fact, we've had many posts on the subject of John, Julian, and Yoko and Julian's relationship. But see, like you said, John matured a lot by the time Sean was born. Also, he reached out to Julian in those final years as well. We've all made mistakes, and fortunately, John saw the error of his ways and felt extremely guilty. That's why he tried to right some wrongs.

Yeah, I dig. Of course Paul has been a GIANT humanitarian. No question.

Intel Corp. said on Wednesday that a firmware version that corrects the password-related issue with the company's second-generation X25-M solid-state drives (SSDs) will be ready to be distributed as early as by the end of the week. The fix will allow Intel and its partners to start selling the new SSDs based on flash memory produced using 34nm process technology.
"We have already found the fix. We are in the process of validating now, and it should be ready to distribute by the end of the week," an Intel spokesperson said.
Last week Intel had to stop shipments of its new SSDs because of a bug. According to numerous reports citing Intel, when a user sets a password in BIOS to limit accessibility to the drive and then either changes or removes it, data becomes corrupted. If a password is not set, the error does not occur. In order to fix the issue, Intel needs to update the firmware on its X25-M second generation SSDs, which effectively suspends shipments.
Compared to its previous 50nm version, the new Intel X25-M offers 25% reduction in latency for quicker data access. Besides, Intel X25-M delivers 6600 4KB write IOPS and up to 35000 read IOPS. The original Intel X25-M features up to 250MB/s sequential read speed and up-to 70MB/s sequential write speed and offers 1.2 million hours MTBF. Actual performance figures for the new X25-M were not revealed now.
New channel prices for the X25-M 80GB are $225 for quantities up to 1000 units (a 60% reduction from the original introduction price of $595 a year ago). The 160GB version is $440 (down from $945 at introduction) for quantities up to 1000 units. The X25-M comes in a standard 2.5" form factor.

Comprehensive DescriptionRead full entry
The tea mangrove is found from Nicaragua to Colombia and is most common on the pacific coast in mangals (Zuchowski & Forsyth 2007). Some isolated groups are found on the Atlantic coasts of Nicaragua, Panama, and Colombia, but are very rare (Smith 2004). Trees grow in the intertidal zone, mostly sheltered by protected beaches or estuarine banks (Tomlinson 1986). They prefer more elevated areas and are more sensitive to soil salinity than other mangrove species, inhabiting only soils with less than 37% salt concentrations (Smith 2004, Jimenez 1984).
These mangroves have swollen buttress roots that stand above the mud in low tide, and contain lenticels that aid in aeration (Simberloff 1983). These thick roots grow in succession, new roots growing above earlier roots (Tomlinson 1986). Trees can be up to 20 meters tall, and have thick, rounded, simple, alternate fibrous leaves (Zuchowski & Forsyth 2007). The leaves may contain three sets of glands along the margin and possibly on the surface of the sepals, but are not always present. The leaf glands may be used for salt excretion, and the sepal glands as extra floral nectaries that may attract insects (Smith 2004).
The white flowers are large and showy, with 5 petals up to 6 centimeters long, and have two large, pink-green bracts, which are located below the flower (Zuchowski & Forsyth 2007). Flowering occurs from winter to early spring and fruiting peaks in late fall (October) (Tomlinson 1986). Hummingbirds and insects sometimes visit flowers, but pollination is mostly unstudied and the actual pollinators might be nocturnal (Zuchowski & Forsyth 2007).
Fruits are heavy and bulb-shaped with a large point at the bottom (Simberloff 1983). They have a hard brown outer covering (exocarp) and a red/brown fleshy interior layer (mesocarp) (Tomlinson 1986). Embryos of this species are cryptoviviparous, meaning the embryo germinates inside the seed while it is still attached to the three. The embryo swells, breaking the seed coat but does not break out of the hard fruit until later (Tomlinson 1986). Fruits are dispersed by falling into the water, pointy side down, and can float before releasing seeds. The seeds germinate rapidly after they fall, swelling after a few hours, meaning the fruits cannot float for very long or for long distances (Smith 2004). The embryos quickly produce roots out of the hard exocarp, extending into the mud of shallow water (Tomlinson, 1986).
Azteca ants have a nonobligatory association with Pelliciera. These ants protect the plant from herbivorous insects and the plant provides the ants with shelter, crevices to forage, and nectar from extra floral nectaries. The association, however, does not occur through the entire geographic range of the plant (Tomlinson 1986). These ants tend to select trees that have been damaged by storms or other insects (Smith 2004).

Tourism Economics, published bimonthly, is a peer-reviewed journal devoted to the economics and finance of tourism worldwide. Articles address the components of the tourism product (accommodation; restaurants; merchandizing; attractions; transport; entertainment; tourist activities); and the economic organization of tourism at micro and macro levels (market structure; role of public/private sectors; community interests; strategic planning; marketing; finance; economic development).
Fast Track. Tourism Economics Fast Track papers have been peer-reviewed, revised and fully accepted for publication. However, although these are the final versions from the authors, they are unedited manuscripts and will undergo a rigorous editing process before their appearance in an issue of the journal. This means that the Fast Track manuscripts may not conform to journal style in terms of presentation, spelling and other usages. They may also contain errors of typography, grammar, spelling, referencing, etc, all of which will be corrected in the processes of copy-editing and proofreading.
Tourism Economics operates a Fast Track online publication system so that papers can be published and made available almost immediately on final acceptance by the journal. Each Fast Track article is given a DOI. When the paper is assigned to an issue, this DOI will automatically be transferred to the article in the journal issue.
Fast Track articles may be cited using the DOI. Citations should include the author's or authors' name(s), the title of the article, the title of the journal followed by the words Fast Track, the year of Fast Track publication and the DOI. For example:
Smith, J. (2013), Article title, Tourism Economics Fast Track, DOI xxxxxxxx.
Once the paper has been published in an issue of the journal, the DOI will automatically resolve to that final version and the article can be cited in accordance with normal bibliographical conventions.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (538 votes).
In short: Hot dayIn full: The organisation was good and they added an extra drinks station and sponge stations along the way, however, the early stations were woefully understaffed/poor organised and caused lots of problems with people running into each other. The tables could have been spread out much further so density of runners would be lower or have had them on both sides of the road (as done further along the course when the runners had already spread out). Other than that, great race, much better without the underground carpark and subways, and stadium finish... seemed further this year for some reason.Date of review: May 28, 2012
Date of review: May 28, 2012
In short: Poor organisation in stadium, otherwise great.In full: There was no excuse for delaying the start in such hot conditions. Latecomers will still get their chip times, and weren't able to start near the front anyway (if they were that bothered, they'd have turned up on time). Some awkward barriers to movement in the stadium weren't appreciated with tired legs. At least one of the stewards in the stadium hadn't a clue about where the exit was (sent us the opposite way). Once we got going though, the race was excellent. Great support on Eccleshall Rd, and even the industrial parts were grimly attractive. Good provision of water. No hills to speak of (compared with the rest of Sheffield).Date of review: May 28, 2012
In short: I keep coming back, but there is definitely room for inprovementIn full: I like this run, the course is good and atmosphere is brilliant in parts. Ok, so Brightside is a bit dull but then again there are some rural races that are boring as bat droppings the WHOLE way round! However, after running the Leeds two weeks ago Sheffield has a lot to consider... Leeds was cheaper, with plenty of bottles of water on route, a goodie bag with a technical t-shirt, a chocolate bar and the option of water, juice or isotonic at the end. I don't want to be in the position of saying Leeds is better than Sheffield! I really pushed for my sub-2hrs this time, having had such a successful run a fortnight ago, only to miss it by seconds. Seconds probably taken up by stopping to queue for water, and then trying to throw it in the general vicinity of my face while running! Poor. I'd say I wasn't going to do it next year but obviously I will. These complaints come up year after year and the organisers don't seem to listen, not even as poor souls pass out at the side of the road - guess I need to start running with my own water. PS perhaps there wasn't enough goodie bags as some of them didn't contain medals. My other half had to go back to get another bag, and I overheard a lady (outside of the stadium) asking where folk had got their medals from…Date of review: May 28, 2012
In short: One of the city races where the route actually passes through the cityIn full: The heat was a contributary factor to the event as many runners were crowding onto footpaths to gain whatever shade was on offer.Several casualties were observed but were efficiently being dealt with by support staff.Parking excellent and well directed. Some of the red tape restrictions in the arena were pointless - toilets were adequate if one visited the far side of the stadium or the bar area( this was announced )Water would have been better in bottles as the amount in cups varied considerably albeit stations were adequate.Fantastic support in the towny areas.The course is not flat but manageable by average and fun runners.Overall a well organised event well worth doing!Date of review: May 28, 2012
In short: Local support was fantasticIn full: A PB race, which I'm sure always sways one's opinion slightly! The start in the stadium setting was great if a little chaotic. Would rather go without a tee shirt if it meant water bottles at the drinks stations. The local support was fantastic, a genuine boost during certain parts of the race. A massive thank you to anyone out there shouting support, playing music, cheering, you are all ace :) This could be one of the best northern half marathons with the level of support from the locals.Date of review: May 28, 2012
In short: Excellent support on Ecclesall Road again!In full: We didn't have any issues with parking. We arrived at 7.45am and went straight into the Arena car park as advertised with no queue at all. I really enjoyed starting and finishing in the stadium. Those last few metres along the track has a really buzz about it with everyone in the stadium cheering you on. I really appreciated the extra water stations that had been put on due to the heat, and the sponges were lovely, but agree that there was some crowding especially at the first one. As per previous years the highlight for this race for me is Ecclesall Road. The support on both sides of this road is incredible and really uplifting. Sheffield is traditionally an industrial city so I don't think the organisers can avoid running through some of them. I really enjoyed this race despite the heat.Date of review: May 28, 2012
In short: hot and too many runners spoilt a good raceIn full: Firstly the bad - yes i agree with everyone about the water although i felt there were enough stations (more than in a lot of other races) but use both sides of the road not just 1. Bottles would be good but i know from other events that when discarded these are a menace for other runners! Toilets as always in short supply. Why there weren't portaloos around the stadium perimeter is beyond me. And finally the bag at the end - 1 bottle of water, no tech t shirt and no snack to replenish. Not good enough!Now for the good. After climbing in the lake district on Friday and running a fell race on Saturday i was expecting the run to be difficult but the course isn't too bad at all. I found the support to be good especially around the 5-8 mile points and at the stadium. The info pack sent out prior to the race was excellent and i had no problems with parking or access in or out of the stadium.Overall a good event which i would do again although i feel a limit of 5000 runners is needed and attention to detail could be improved.Date of review: May 28, 2012
In short: Hot & Hilly!!In full: For the size of the event (6000+ runners), the organisation was poor. I've seen better at local running club hosted races. The water situation was a disgrace - especially so for such a hot day. Plastic cups?? where were the sports bottles & Isotonic drinks? Congestion was caused at the water stations, with only one side of the road used. Only one sponge station (mile 3 & on the return, mile 10). And then no water at the finish other than the small bottle in the 'goody' bag - or should that be 'lack of goody' bag? usual bog standard cotton t-shirt. Scenery was poor, mostly through industrial areas. Support was patchy, due I guess to the above. However, Eccleshall (half way point) was brilliant. Fantastic crowd support with some entertainment thrown in. Start / finish at Don Valley good too. Although I think the event is not able to support the number of runners taking part. Traffic congestion severe at the start, despite allowing plenty of time.For the number of runners taking part, the event should be much slicker organised. Other cities put on so much more for their half marathons. Sheffield can and should do better to make it a top notch race.First half of the race virtually all on the uphill. Not too steep, but a constant slog upwards. Really can't believe how bad the water situation was - especially considering the hot weather. Must do better.....Date of review: May 27, 2012
In short: Very hot today but that is not the organisers fault.Water in bottles would be better though.In full: Enjoyed this race despite the inclines and hot weather.Medal was nice.Had to queue at some water stations and this is un-acceptable.Bottles next time please.Lack of toilet facilities at start was not great.Ended up using some bushes as a urinal.Again not acceptable.Otherwise organisation was fine.Date of review: May 27, 2012

Many of the mockups of Firefox's new interface, dating all the way back to August 2009, have featured a small home tab. But up until now, I haven't had a chance to explain the various ideas surrounding Home, elaborate how it fits into our broader cross platform and cross device strategy, and answer some really basic questions, like what will happen if the user has already customized their home page.
Firefox Home: Your First App Tab
Well, at least that was the idea since we were planning on introducing Home at the same time as introducing the concept of App tabs. Now it will probably be your third or fourth App Tab in terms of order of creation, but "Home: Your Left Most App Tab!" doesn't really have the same ring to it :) Either way, Home is an application created by Mozilla that runs in Firefox, and it helps you manage your online life.
Home is built on top of Sync, acts as a launch pad to all of your encrypted personal data, your personal Web. Our goal is to provide a consistent Home experience on every OS, including the classic desktop environments of Windows, Linux and OS X, as well as the mobile environments of Android, Maemo, and iOS:
We launched our Home iOS app last July, and the desktop Home app tab is still currently being developed, but nonetheless the two are part of what will eventually be a unified cross platform strategy. Home will be available on every single platform, including platforms that are restricting us from shipping the full Firefox browser.
But home is more than just a consistent cross device experience for users, it's also going to be one of the things that makes Firefox truly unique in the marketplace. In a competitive landscape quickly heading towards interface commoditization (back+forward+fast!), Home will provide Firefox users with a personalized experience unlike anything else on the market. Going beyond an ever decreasing browser frame, Home provides users with a dashboard to their life online.
What Types of Data will Home Provide Access To?
The UX team is still in the process of determining Home's initial feature set and interface, but we've definitely had a lot of time to brainstorm the types of personalized data that we may be interesting in surfacing to users. Here are just some of the things we are looking at, from design work by John Wayne Hill (Firefox UX intern), Madhava Enros and Stuart Parmenter (mobile), and Kevin Fox (web apps).
A Mechanism for Application-Level Notification
Another nice advantage of the Home Tab in desktop Firefox is that it introduces a less intrusive and more ambient way for Firefox to provide users with notifications for particular events, like a security update being available, or you needing to provide your new Sync password. Similar to how email clients glow when you receive a new message, the Home Tab will glow when Firefox has something to ask you. These types of asynchronous notifications are considerably friendlier and more respectful than throwing up a large modal dialog box:
Introducing Users to The Concept of Tab Browsing
One of the really nice properties of surfacing home as an Application Tab, is that anything launched off of it will open in a new tab. What's great about this is that many users who have always relied on the home button in Web browsers (past and present), haven't discovered the advantages of tab browsing yet, and tend to follow very linear and singular navigation paths. For instance, a common start up sequence for these users might be:
In this sequence, the user only has one tab open, because they are relying on clicking the home button for navigational Google searches, and by default each new task overtakes their current task. It's like an OS that can only have one window open at a time.
By switching these users over to the Home Tab, the same sequence of actions (relying on the house icon) produces three separate tabs. As users notice that things like their email, auction, and baseball game are still present, they can quickly pick up the core advantages of tab browsing: reduced load time and multi-tasking on different things simultaneously.
Following the practice of "show, don't tell" this interface introduces even the most stubborn IE6 users to the advantages of tab browsing, without them having to read a single support document or manual. Note that users who rely heavily on the current Home Button for search still haven't transitioned to the always available search bar, so there is already a strong correlation between relying on the Home Button, and navigational sequences that are common to pre-tab browsers.
What if the User Has Already Specified a Custom Home Page?
Because we want to place Firefox UI inside of the Home tab (like session restore, or access to your online accounts), we need to make some changes to how we deal with customized home pages. This is partly to make sure that these aspects of Firefox's UI are always available (unless the user has actively removed the Home tab), and partly because we want to have consistent support documents that don't include too many if-then clauses.
A custom home page (or pages) will become app tabs. But the experience of launching the browser will be the same. For instance, if you like many users have set Facebook as your home page (now called "start page"), it will still be the active tab when you launch Firefox:
The only real difference is that you'll need to click on the Facebook icon instead of the house to get back to it.
The Home Tab Versus New Tab
The Home tab and New tab are both launching points to a new destination on the Web, so what's the difference between them?
This is actually going to be the topic of my next post, but the short version is that I believe the Home tab and New tab represent two very different use cases. One is primarily a mouse driven browse-based interface, and the other primarily a keyboard driven search-based interface. One is complex, and the other is simple. One is the place you go when you are bored, and other is the place you go when you happen to already know your next destination on the Web.

Topic: TOTAL beginner... Ruby or RoR, how to do it?
Hey guys!
I'm know a little bit of PHP, javascript and actionscript 3 (so yes, i'm so green as one can be..)
Anyway, instead of learning PHP or any other language, I'd like to start with Ruby or Rails.
What do you recommend?
- Should I start with Ruby?
- Could I start with RoR?
- How do I get started? Books, forums, tutorials, other?
I tried some different guides, just to get my Ruby version updated, but got different error messages, so I'm looking for a complete guide for a beginner..

IAJE Evening 1 - Clifford Brown/Stan Getz All-Stars
January 10, 2008. Posted by Joshua Jackson.Add new comment | Filed under: attendace, clifford brown, Discovery, fresh faces, gala concert, gregory chaplin, high school students, hopedale ma, iaje, IAJE 2008, international pool, jitters, Live Music, milwaukee wi, professional musicians, ringer, sax, stan getz, those kids, trombone, trumpeter nicholas payton, vancouver bc, vancouver wa, youngsters
One of the nicest things about IAJE is seeing the fresh faces - the young talent who are really excited about playing jazz. It's funny to watch them go ga-ga over the professional musicians in attendance. Then I remember how that used to be me 15 years ago. Now I'm 33, and all those kids say, "Excuse me, SIR." Ugh. Go right ahead, kiddo...
The Clifford Brown/Stan Getz All-Stars are high school students. They're selected from an international pool of talent, though this group comes exclusively from North America. They opened the IAJE Gala Concert tonight. They are:
Gregory Chaplin - bass (Hopedale, MA), Jake Sherman - piano (Boston, MA), Conrad Jones - trumpet (Long Island), Javier Nero - trombone (Vancouver, WA), Eli Bennett - sax (Vancouver, BC), Jonathan Ragonese - sax (Pennsylvania)
And from Milwaukee, WI, drummer Carl Allen. He's the ringer.
Seems like the youngsters had some jitters at first (probably because they were playing to a few thousand strangers), but they came together on the standard, "After You've Gone." I could tell they enjoyed the arrangement, a transcription from trumpeter Nicholas Payton's record, Gumbo Nouveau. Hear it now:
Clifford Brown/Stan Getz All-Stars - After You've Gone
Keep an ear out for them. They're the future of our music. - Josh

Suspect in Custody Following Shots Fired Incident
Thunder Butte Petroleum
MAKOTI The ceremony on Wednesday was called historic by many gathered at the site where The Three Affiliated Tribes broke ground for a refinery.
The groundbreaking marked more than 10 years of work since the tribes first started making plans for a refinery for the Fort Berthold Reservation. It was delayed at times because of the various federal permits and other approvals the tribes are required to obtain for such a project.
"We're on a mission to get this online," Tex Hall, chairman of the Three Affiliated Tribes, told a large crowd gathered in a tent at the refinery site about 2 1/2 miles west of Makoti, where the first phase of the construction of the refinery will begin this summer.
The tribal business council has $40 million set aside for the first phase of the project. Hall said the money is in the bank and construction will start this summer.
"Business starts today," he said.
Construction of a transload facility is the first part of the project, said Rich Mayer, chief executive officer for the refinery project.
Hall said Thunder Butte Petroleum, the name of the clean fuels refinery, is named for one of the most sacred buttes on the reservation. "It will be successful because of this name," he said.
The refinery is conservatively estimated and projected to cost $450 million. Hall said when they started on the project it was projected to cost $350 million but that price has gone up considerably.
The refinery will refine Bakken Formation crude oil at the site in southwest Ward County, where the tribes own 469 acres of land, with a portion of that land specifically for the refinery. Some of the land will be used for feed for the tribes' bison.
Bernice Larson, who previously owned the majority of the land, was at the ceremony with her daughter, Elaine, was recognized for what she has done for the tribe and its new project.
Prior to about 20 people, including tribal council members, each with gold shovels turning over the first shovels full of dirt, Tony Mandan, a tribal elder, blessed the ground.
James Johnson, who gave the opening prayer, said the refinery project is not just for Native people but for all people. He noted appreciation to all who kept the project going over the years and that tribal elders and others will see it develop.
Before the ceremony began, Mandan said, "Hopefully it will make money for the tribe."
Throughout the ceremony numerous accolades were made to Hall, the tribal business council and the Three Affiliated Tribes for its persistence in following through on the project. Many said the refinery not only will benefit the tribes, the local area and the state but also throughout the U.S.
Speakers from out of state also priased the refinery project. "This is big news and everybody is talking about it," said Rudy Peone, chairman of the Spokane Tribe of Indians from Washington state.
"This is a huge, historic moment for the tribe," Mayer said.
A group of local protesters with signs and representing SOAR Save Our Aboriginal Rights were gathered at the turnoff along N.D. Highway 23 near the refinery site.
The refinery is being planned as a facility that would be capable of refining 20,000 barrels per day of Bakken Formation crude oil into diesel fuel, propane and naphtha products.
The Three Affiliated Tribes' refinery will be one of the first refineries built in the United States in many years. The last refinery built in the U.S. was built in Garyville, La., and began operating in 1976.
Currently, North Dakota has one oil refinery, the Tesoro Corp. in Mandan, but other projects have been proposed in North Dakota, including the Dakota Prairie Refinery near Dickinson where ground was broken for that facility in March, and the Dakota Oil Processing facility near Trenton.

ARM, the company behind the absolute majority of mobile phones, will enable multi-threading capability on its chips. This will boost performance of it microprocessors and will boost ARM architecture in general.
"The company is looking to include multithreading capabilities depending on application requirements in different segments," said Kumaran Siva, segment marketing manager at ARM, at the Linley Tech Processor conference, reports IDG News Agency.
At present microprocessors based on ARM architecture can power low power devices. Unfortunately, ARM-based chips do not have a number of advantages of x86 microprocessors, including 64-bit tech that cannot use over 4GB if DRAM. Adding multithreading to ARM CPUs will increase its position against rivals.
At the same time, ARM needs to increase its presence on the market of desktops and laptops so to ensure the company's global position.

How was my weekend? It was pretty sweet. Friday I was really in the mood for a good egg salad sandwich (I was REALLY craving it) so I rode my bike to Rego's and bought all the ingredients. Then I came home, boiled all the eggs and mixed everything up...it took something like 3 hours. Then something funny happened, I wasn't hungry anymore. So I threw everything away and just went to bed.
It was a pretty good weekend. [/i]

It seems the wave of Nigerian celebrities getting verified on twitter is still moving and not likely to stop anytime soon because the Baddest Boss and the number one Baddest Boy just got verified.
They join the likes of the Choc Boiz, Don Jazzy, Asa, Nneka amongst others. Although the crew is busy planning for the Baddest Concert which is billed to hold this evening at The Ocean View grounds, this is probably the best Christmas gift they'll be getting this year.
Now that Nigerians are no longer being denied verification on Twitter (even though Twitter is yet to state the specific rules concerning how to get verified), which Nigerian celebrity do you think will be verified next?
