Consider these key differences when choosing a college

 According to the National Center for Education Statistics, there are nearly 3,000 four-year colleges in the United States. Here are some key differences to consider when choosing which one to attend.

 Cost. The average yearly cost, including tuition, room and board, for a public university in 2010 was nearly $16,000. For a private school, the average cost was more than $32,000. Most students receive some form of financial aid, but it's the applicant's responsibility to find and apply for grants and loans.

 Size. The main campus of the Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio, is home to more than 56,000 students—and that's not even the largest campus in the United States. With so many students, it would be easy to go unnoticed. If that's what you prefer, then a large campus like OSU might work. If you thrive in smaller settings where your teachers know your first name and where your classmates aren't complete strangers, then you'll want to opt for a smaller school.

 Location. Some students prefer to stay near or live at home while attending college. Some need to go to school far away. Others want to be close enough to visit regularly but far enough away to experience independent living. Weather plays a role, too. If you hate the cold, the University of Alaska-Anchorage may not be the best school for you. If you love the sun and the beach, the University of Hawaii is looking like a strong candidate. Be sure, however, that the recreational opportunities don't become a distraction.

 Curriculum. According to the U.S. Department of Education, the most popular majors for college graduates in 2010 include business, social sciences, health professions and education. If you major in those fields, it should be easy to find a university that caters to your needs. You may, however, wish to seek out the school that prepares its students best. When researching a university, make sure its strengths match your interests.

 Social needs. It doesn't matter how academically excellent an institution is if you don't feel like you belong. Find out about social clubs and organizations before handing over tuition money. Religion also plays a role in the social aspect of attending college. Major universities that incorporate religion into the curriculum include Notre Dame, Southern Methodist University, Brigham Young University and more. Public universities often have religious organizations affiliated with the school.

Stanley students enjoy winter activities
STANLEY The golf course is getting use in Stanley this winter, but not for golf.
Physical education teacher Elonda Davidson's fifth and sixth-graders have been snowshoeing across the snow-covered nine-hole course and loving every minute of it.
"I really love snowshoeing!" said fifth-grader Maura Mills. "It is a really fun winter sport and winter exercise. I sometimes wish it was winter all year long."
"Snowshoeing is awesome," said sixth-grader Alex Houser. "One of the best activities I have ever done. I really would like to get some of my own."
Davidson was awarded a grant from ELG last year that paid for half the cost of 30 pairs of snowshoes. Her classes raised the remainder of the cost by selling a cookbook filled with the kid's favorite healthy recipes. Davidson said the kids in her classes got to try out those recipes in different classes last year too.
Davidson wanted to show the kids that they can be active and have fun outdoors even in the middle of winter. Children in the lower grades are also getting an outdoor workout by taking turns being hooked up to large metal sleds and hauling their classmates around, playing the part of dogs leading the dog sleds.
Davidson said she prepared her students for the snowshoeing beforehand by having them practice walking on them in the school gymnasium, using carpet squares.
"So far the biggest obstacle is putting them on," said Davidson. "Some of them are really good at it and they're gone (but) it takes 10 minutes for some of the others."
Once the children have the snowshoes strapped on properly, they have a lot of freedom to go all over the golf course. Even the kids who had a tough time at first are enjoying the activity now.
'"It was difficult the first time but as I went more it was really fun," said fifth-grader Teralynn Brandt.
Davidson has also taught the kids about how to dress properly for outdoor fun. Kids who aren't wearing appropriate outdoor gear are not allowed to snowshoe at the golf course. She also has them do different activities at the golf course to add some variety to the activity. One week one of the classes hid cups in the snow and another class went out and hunted for the hidden cups while they were snowshoeing. This week one of the classes tied ribbons to the trees at the golf course.
"It's a great workout for them," said Davidson.
The Iditia Harness sledding, which is done just outside the school, is also a good way for kids to have fun and get exercise, said Davidson. The kids take turns riding in the big, round metal sled and being harnessed to the sled and pulling their classmates.
"Sledding is good because you get full of snow and you get to be outside," said third-grader Keyton Meiers.
This is the last week the kids will do snowshoeing and sledding, but Davidson said she definitely plans to do it again next year with her classes.

Release Date:12/24/2013 9:00 AM
Washington Post (Dec. 24): "Conn. University To Test Pot For Contaminants"
Heather Miller Coyle, a forensic botanist and associate professor at UNH says all sorts of nasty things not visible to the naked eye have been found in marijuana — mold, mildew, insect parts, salmonella and E. coli, to name a few. That's why she and her students began developing a process to detect contaminants in marijuana through DNA profiling and analysis. The aim is to identify potentially harmful substances through a testing method that could make the analysis easier and quicker for labs across the country in the developing industry of marijuana quality control testing.

Pianist Sofya Melikyan kicks off 2014 with "Fantasies" concert at Bruno Walter Auditorium, Lincoln Center Plaza Saturday, January 25th at 2:30 pmPosted by s21concerts in Concert Announcement, Steve Reich, Uncategorized, tags: Armenia, Beethoven, Brahms, C.P.E. Bach, classical music, Corigliano, dreams, Free, imagination, Liszt, new york city, Performing Arts Library, piano
The New Public York Library for the Performing Arts at Lincoln Center is pleased to present American-Armenian award winning pianist Sofya Melikyan in a solo concert titled "Fantasies" on Saturday, January 25th at 2:30 pm at the Bruno Walter Auditorium in the Dorothy and Lewis B. Cullman Center located at 40 Lincoln Center Plaza, New York (map and directions). The concert, which represents the American debut of Ms. Melikyan's Fantasies program, is free and open to the public.
Featuring some of the most inspired pages of the Fantasy and reflecting the different esthetics of this genre starting with the 18th century and through the present day, the concert program includes works by C.P.E. Bach, Brahms, Beethoven, Corigliano, and Liszt. The term "Fantasy" was first used in the 16th century to describe an instrumental piece that was improvisatory and spontaneous in character, free of any formal rules or restrictions. This musical journey invites listeners to dive into a universe full of colors and mystery, and in turn, to explore the fascinating world of dreams and the imagination.
…"The Armenian pianist Sofya Melikyan literally abducted her audience into the land of fantasy… She offered a fascinating panorama of different approaches – baroque, classic, romantic – to the genre of the fantasy, which in its quality and in the pervasion of the compositions would have been worthy of her home town New York"… Frederik Wittenberg in Westfälische Nachrichten (Germany)
Ms. Melikyan possesses this transcendental force to take the listener to her world of deep poetic intuition and her homeland is the source of the wideness and the depth of her artistic work: she grew up in Armenia, a country characterized by a strong relationship to nature, to the mystical, surrounded by mountains, which lead for centuries the way to Europe, Asia and the Middle East.
Now a resident of Brooklyn, New York, Ms. Melikyan completed her studies at the Royal Conservatory of Madrid with Joaquin Soriano, École Normale de Musique de Paris with Ramzi Yassa and the Manhattan School of Music in New York where she was a scholarship student of Solomon Mikowsky. Other pianists who have mentored her are Brigitte Engerer, Galina Eguiazarova and Elena Tatulyan. Ms. Melikyan has toured throughout Europe, Australia, Canada, Japan and the United States. More information is available here.
The full concert program follows:
Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach (1714-1788)
Fantasy in f sharp minor H300
Johannes Brahms (1836-1897)
Fantasien Op.116
Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827)

IEEE Int. Conf. on Robotics and Automation (ICRA '96), April, 1996.
|This paper describes the configuration of a floor-tile installation robot for commercial buildings. The research is motivated by the need to reduce the installation time and cost while guaranteeing consistent quality. In order to compete with human installation, a time of 24 seconds per installed tile has to be matched. The technical solution that is deemed feasible and capable of reducing this time to about 10 seconds, is an autonomous, electrically-powered mobile robot with omni-directional locomotive capability, and stereo cameras and light-striper for sensing. High resolution imaging is needed to identify tile seams and edges, assess the quality of automatic installation, and locate where the next tile should be placed. A mechanically compliant placement device would place the tile quickly and accurately without damaging the placed and surrounding tiles, emulating a human capability. Vinyl/ceramic tiles, adhesives, and grout are carried onboard the robot and replenished by the operator. Navigation and positioning are performed through a laser-based triangulation system, and by detecting, counting and dead-reckoning off of tiles placed on the floor. Tile and installation quality are continuously monitored and errors corrected for, based on an overall layout map.

In my response to RobynB's concern and Chicago Bob's suggestion to her, which were reflected in Bakeshack's thread "Cake Yeast Dough" (http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,21730.msg239768.html#msg239768), I was going to do this post in the thread, but I decided to do my post here in order not to derail Bakeshack's thread. Dear Robyn, in the aforementioned thread you wrote:In response to your concern, dear Chicago Bob made the following suggestion:That is what I have been doing with my Piccolo oven in order to avoid burning the bottoms of my pizzas. This can be done in different ways. This is how I have been doing it . . . I have been using a metal plate (see the first picture below), which I cut myself with a diameter of 15 inches. Right after priming my oven and moving the fire from the center to the left of the hearth, I place the plate right on the spot where I intend to bake my pizzas, and I let the plate stay there until I am ready to launch my pizza on the oven floor.Basically, the rationale is that the oven floor acquires a percentage of its energy (heat) from the hot coals ("conduction heat") and a percentage from the light of fire ("radiative heat"). Some say that the ratio is about 50/50. Hence, the radiative heat is blocked from reaching the oven floor by placing the metal plate on the area of the floor where you bake your pizzas. Using the plate in this manner has enable me to continuously bake pizzas for hours (as much as 7 hours per session) without the oven floor over-heating. Below are some pictures showing the underskirts of the pizzas I baked last night in my Forno Piccolo. Let me know if you have any questions. (Wise suggestion, Bob!) Good day!Omid
Omid,What is your optimal range in floor temp to achieve the undercrust shots you have shared above?Thanks!John K
With respect to the portion of the oven floor where you bake, are you referring to heat entering the floor from the coals after the fire is moved to the side of the hearth? If so, I would guess that the portion of heat entering the baking area of the floor via conduction from the coals is closer to 5% or less. My guess is that 95%+ of the heat comes via radiation and convection.
Very innovative. Sometimes the best solutions are the simplest. When I owned pizza delivery outlets we used pizza screens to accomplish the same thing. Taking them on and off the screens to control bottom heat and browning. Although this would not work the same in a neapolitan pizza application due to a variety of reasons I am curious what challenges and benefits it would present. I'll try this next fire up. Also Omid you mentioned you also made some persian bread with your last batch as well. what type of bread did you make and do you have pics of them?
Hmmm, interesting. Thanks, Omid! I've been removing coals, as I mentioned in the other thread, and having mixed results with that. Could I just use an aluminum pizza tray? I have a few of those that are the right size. Thanks again!!
Dear Craig, you asked, "With respect to the portion of the oven floor where you bake, are you referring to heat entering the floor from the coals after the fire is moved to the side of the hearth?" Yes. Please, let me know how you arrived at the "5% or less" for conduction and "95%" for convection and radiation. Thermal transfer is such an intriguing and complex matter. Although the "5%" counterintuitively seems very low, it makes sense. Sometimes, for the purpose of baking Neapolitan style pizzas, I heat up my oven only by torching the dome which proportionally and effectively heats up the floor below itwithout any hot coals on the oven floor. Good day!Omid
Hi Omid. I agree the use of screens is not necessary. It's just more of a curiosity thing since I have used them before in deck ovens. I find my best ideas come fromjust experimenting with processes . At home sometimes my floor does get too hot or uneven because most the time I am going from completely cold oven to hot in a matter of a few hours and the floor temp gets affected the most in this environment. The floor and heat sink need much more time for my oven to fully absorb the heat. In a commercial setting I think the ovens would cook more evenly with much more retention of heat in the floor in particular since they never are allowed to fully cool down. since my oven is a 120 and takes quite a bit of wood to get up to temp I tend to get discouraged to fire up for a small batch of say 5-10 pies. Instead I do less firing of my oven throughout the year but when I do its 30-60 pies. The. most I have done has been about 175 which was a great experience to push the limits of capacity and high volume management. I could use help in finding a solution to firing up more easily/effectively. Maybe Craig has dealt with this already with his oven. As for the pebbles on the floor for sangak.... That is just awesome. Sangak is my favorite persian bread by far. I gotta try that. How did it come out compared to the commercial bakeries that do sangak? I could use help in figuring out how to get more use of my oven for small batches so can try more variations of dough. Any thoughts? Ps the rocks you put in the oven for sangak bread is awesome. How did it come out? I would love to try that. Sangak is my favorite flat bread by far.
Omid,Let me offer some logic and my observations to explain my thinking. My 5%/95% estimation was intended more to illustrate my belief that the balance is heavily tilted to radiation and convection than to provide an exact figure. Now that I think about it a little more, I would say the fraction of heat coming from the fire through the floor is even lower probably well under 0.5%Consider the typical WFO floor. It has very low thermal conductivity probably in the range of 0.6 to 1.1 W/m*K in the biscotto or bricks, but there are also air gaps particularly in a brick floor, so the conductivity of the floor system is even lower. But lets call it 1 W/m*K to be conservative. Low carbon steel, like people are using for pizza, by comparison, is about 50. Lets say we had a Neapolitan oven with a similar steel floor and we made the unrealistic assumption that 100% of the heat in the floor where the pie is baked comes from the coals through the steel. Our brick floor is only 2% as conductive, so at most 2% of the heat could be coming from the coals through the floor material. Aluminums conductivity is over 200 W/m*K, and it still would not deliver 100% of the floor heat, but if it did, our bricks would be down to 0.5%.My observations seem to support this analysis. The floor directly under the coals will heat to north of 1200F, yet I can easily increase or decrease the temperature of the deck by +/- 150F (825F 975F) in a matter of perhaps 30 minutes to an hour by simply changing the intensity of the flames. Changing the size of the coal pile has no such similar effect.
This afternoon, I used my leftover dough, from last night, to bake the pizza shown in the picture below. I heated my Piccolo oven (which was already hot from last night) with my torch for about 3 hours. Basically, I let the torch shoot only toward the dome for 3 hours while partially closing the oven's mouth with the door. I guess this proves, to an extent, dear Craig's point in reply #1956 above. There were no hot coals on the floor of my oven to heat it by conduction. Interesting!Right before baking the pizza, the oven floor was a little shy of 800°F and the dome hotter than my IR gun could register, over 1200°F. The bake time was 112 seconds while the torch stayed in the oven, as shown in the picture below. I think the pizza could have baked better (when I use the torch) if the floor was about 900°F and the dome about 1100°. If I had used wood fire instead of propane torch, the results would have been much better. As you may have noticed, pizzas bake very differently, at least in my oven, when I use propane torch. Using fire wood in my oven yields superior bake results. Good day!
Thank you for the tip on the oven and especially the sangak pointers. You are a true artisan in all you do. I respect that. Do you have a brand and place to buy a torch? I have no idea where to begin on that one. Is it propane? Also if I heard you right you double door the opening. One in front of exhaust and one more at the opening of the dome. I can get another door from Mugnaini but if you have a better idea on the door I would love to hear it.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (435 votes).
In short: Brilliant, brilliant, brilliantIn full: Beautiful course, excellently marshalled. Superb starting commentary from two of the funniest announcers ever (not always intentionally). Loads of water stations, having learned lessons from previous year, I understand. I will certainly be back. Date of review: June 21, 2015
In short: Undulating but niceIn full: Easy to get to (at least from Watford with the Abbey Flyer), as St Albans Abbey station is just by the start area.Nice atmosphere, not enough toilets, though the ones at the athletics stadium didn't have much of a queue (which was announced. Incidentally, the guy on the tannoy seemed to be chanelling Alan Partridge). Some good viewing spots for non-runners, and a nice area to stretch and relax after the run. The route itself is rather undulating, there's a few flatter stages but not much. The marshals and water stations were great, very welcoming, and the high five gels were an unexpected bonus. Not too much in the goody bag, but it's a good technical T shirt. Date of review: June 18, 2015
In short: Hill after hill after hill after hill but well organised, well supported and good fun! In full: I had read before hand that the course was undulating but I discovered that to be the understatement of the century! From short steep ones to long drawn out ones the hills on this course are certain to give you aching calves the next morning. If you're a time/PB orientated runner then this race race is probably not for you but if you enjoy a challenge and like well organised races with enthusiastic support at every turn then you'll love this race. Nice medal (which I personally believe is important although I know runners are split on this)! Water stations were very frequent which was brilliant. Weather was perfect for running with a bit of drizzle and overcast sky. Long queues for the toilets due to unmarked urinals. Race start area could do with being either wider or have pens in order of expected finish time as I got stuck behind a lot of slower runners for the first 1/2 mile. All in all a good day out and satisfying experience. Date of review: June 16, 2015
In short: Well organised fab raceIn full: Brilliant organisation Lots of cheering on courseScenicReally enjoyed thank youDate of review: June 16, 2015
In short: Challenging, enjoyable runIn full: Overall, an excellent race, with many challenging hills.... that took their toll by mile 10!The marshals were brilliant and the race was run in a very good atmosphere.The only negatives for me were around the organisation at the start. The urinals were not clearly marked, leading to long queues for the toilets, when many men only wanted to pee; this led to a longer queue for the bagagge drop-off, and then led to a 10-minute delay to the start - not welcome. This was all unfortunate, as otherwise the race appeared very well organised - as you'd expect for its 34th occurrence. Not to worry, I will give feedback to the organisers and be back next year to beat my time.Date of review: June 15, 2015
In short: Tougher than expectedIn full: My 1st go at the St Albans Half & it was tougher than expected, though a great race all the same. Fantastic organisation & atmosphere, looking forward to signing up for next year already.Date of review: June 15, 2015
In short: A tough race, but well organisedDate of review: June 14, 2015
In short: A great day out...........In full: have run this race every year since 2005 and it is always a great day out.The cool weather made it easier than previous years,the marshal's and the locals are always friendly . will do it again in 2016....... Date of review: June 14, 2015
In short: Great marshals & lots of water stations. Well organised - thanksIn full: Great day. Medal, t shirt, ice lolly, closed roads, lots of marshals, lots of encouragement , lots of water stations.Really nice to have so many youngsters marshalling & cheering runners on.Kids races, a walking half marathon , wheelchair half, 5ks - someone thing for everyoneOnly gripe I have, not enough toilets, but that is the same for every race, so luckily lots of bushes near the start.Thanks for a great dayDate of review: June 14, 2015
In short: Hottest day of the year IMHO and NO MUSICIn full: I am one of those runners that likes to run to music. I train with it, so why not run with it. I understand on an open course you need it, but it not a closed course.Anyway, I ran without and was glad I did. Apparently anyone with an MP3 player would be disqualified, but on the route the marshals didn't police this at all.As I said it was super hot. But you got an ice cream at the end. And the kids races were cute.Date of review: February 10, 2015

Weapons Ban: Hearings Should Have Been Held
Will the state Legislature's assault weapon ban actually keep assault weapons from those who shouldn't have them?
It's hard to say.
New York has had laws on the books banning assault weapons since 2000. Still, in December, a convicted felon in Webster, N.Y., who couldn't legally buy any gun used assault weapons to kill two volunteer firefighters. Officials ranging from Gov. Andrew Cuomo to Sheriff Joe Gerace have said loopholes in the system render existing laws nearly useless.
That history casts doubt on the effectiveness of legislation approved Monday and Tuesday by the state Legislature.
Some of the legislation makes sense. Under the new law, assault weapons won't be available on the Internet. The law increases punishment for those who shoot at first responders. The new law creates real-time background checks of ammunition purchasers that could alert authorities of high-volume purchases, possibly staving off future gun violence.
Other pieces of the state's legislation, however, are difficult to enforce and could actually penalize lawful gun owners. For example, the law makes unsafe storage of assault weapons a misdemeanor crime. It also includes a provision that stolen guns be reported within 24 hours, with failure to do so resulting in misdemeanor charges.
The new law does include a provision requiring therapists who believe a mental health patient made a credible threat to use a gun illegally to report it to a mental health director, who in turn would have to notify the state. The patient's gun could then be taken away.
Whether you're for or against restrictions on assault weapons, most people would agree such legislation should have been discussed publicly. State residents should have had more opportunity to make their opinions known to their state legislators. Public hearings should have been held so responsible gun owners could voice their opinions while making sure loopholes that weakened prior assault weapon bans are closed.
There are many questions that should have been asked. How can we use existing background information to trigger a more strict review of a person's ability and mental heath capabilities to own a gun? What triggers exist that may show a person's proclivity to commit gun violence? How should society balance the right to bear arms with the responsibility to keep its citizens safe?
New York residents deserve an open, honest and thorough discussion about guns.
Maybe that discussion will happen someday. It certainly didn't happen this week.

Government Orders

The Speaker
It being two o'clock p.m., the House will now proceed to statements by members, pursuant to Standing Order 31.
Labour Force Survey
Statements By Members
1:55 p.m.
Sarkis Assadourian Don Valley North, ON
Mr. Speaker, my statement today is under the heading "Good news gets better with the Liberal government".
I am extremely happy to rise at this moment to make mention of a few encouraging points from last month's labour force survey. The survey has indicated a decrease in the unemployment rate while an increase in the help wanted index has grown. The help wanted index of job advertisements rose for the fourth time in the last five months, the largest increase of the recovery. I was particularly encouraged by the strong gains in employment in sectors that had experienced recent declines, such as manufacturing and retail trades.
The other good news is that all regions of the country experienced growth in the employment rate. In my province of Ontario alone 11,000 new jobs were created. The government's commitment is to put-
Alpine Skiing
Statements By Members
1:55 p.m.
Michel Guimond Beauport—Montmorency—Orléans, QC
Mr. Speaker, on behalf of all Quebecers, I would like to extend today my heartfelt congratulations to one of our own athletes who won the giant slalom yesterday at the world junior alpine skiing championships in Lake Placid. I am referring to, you have guessed it, young Mélanie Turgeon.
It was not Mélanie's first medal at the championships either. She had already reached the podium twice before; first winning a silver medal in Super G, and then bronze in downhill.
Yesterday's victory puts Mélanie in the overall lead at the championships. Another event is scheduled for today: slalom. I want to wish her, personally and on behalf of the Bloc Quebecois, the best of luck. We are proud of you, Mélanie. Go for it!
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Jake Hoeppner Lisgar—Marquette, MB
Mr. Speaker, since the government's anti-smuggling measures were announced, several Manitoba border crossings have been open 24 hours a day. This only sends a clear message to smugglers to avoid these border crossings.
In addition, extra customs officers must be kept on duty at night at each crossing because of the extra hours. The only increased traffic at these crossings has been in the form of vehicles going south to the United States to take advantage of cheap U.S. liquor, food and gasoline.
Revenue is being taken out of the pockets of Manitoba businesses and sent over the border. Everyone agrees we should be concentrating on a decrease in smuggling, but instead the local RCMP which is already understaffed has to contend with increased smuggling of not only cigarettes but liquor and guns.
Would it not make more sense to close down the customs ports at night and increase the RCMP personnel to create better border patrol? This would show real action against smuggling and would keep more Canadian dollars at home.
Women Entrepreneurs
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Dianne Brushett Cumberland—Colchester, NS
Mr. Speaker, although last Wednesday was specifically designated as International Women's Day I would like today to acknowledge women entrepreneurs.
In 1989 women founded 50 per cent of all new Canadian businesses. In Atlantic Canada between 1984 and 1990 the percentage of women owned businesses employing five or more full time employees increased from 16 per cent to 28 per cent. Women are also succeeding in existing businesses.
In my riding in 1990 a former bank worker, Lois Robarts, took over Advocate Harbour Seafoods. She has since expanded her sales and her processing plant and now employs five people. That is significant considering that small businesses created 90 per cent of our region's new jobs in the 1980s.
It is imperative that the joint government-business committees we are establishing to encourage small business be particularly sensitive to the economic potential of Atlantic Canadian women.
The Budget
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
John Bryden Hamilton—Wentworth, ON
Mr. Speaker, I am delighted the government has declared in its budget that it intends to review the funding of some 500 special interest groups which are relying on taxpayers' dollars rather than raising their own money. The results of this review are to be incorporated in the 1995 budget.
I hope that this review will result in ongoing cuts where obviously warranted this year, not next. We must concentrate on the genuinely needy now, not later.
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Jane Stewart Brant, ON
Mr. Speaker, like all Canadians I am encouraged by the reduction in Canada's national unemployment rate in February. However it is with great concern I report to the House that the riding of Brant was not so fortunate.
Our monthly unemployment rate jumped from 11.7 per cent to 14.1 per cent in February, well above the provincial average of 10.7 per cent.
One way that government can address the unemployment problems of smaller centres is by decentralizing some of its services. In my riding, for example, we have no unique post-secondary institution. Our level of post-secondary education falls well below the national average.
My community could greatly be supported by the location of a federal research and development centre or some other technological institute or agency within its boundaries.
While I strongly support the job creation measures taken in the budget, I believe that decentralization is another proactive step that governments can take to create opportunities in our smaller communities.
I encourage our government to take steps in this direction.
Mining Industry
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Bernard Deshaies Abitibi, QC
Mr. Speaker, the "Mining, an industry to support" campaign launched by the mining industry last September has received massive public support in over 150 mining communities in Canada and Quebec as well as from many other Canadians and Quebecers who are concerned about the future of this industry.
The mining industry is one of the driving forces of the economy and as such requires more serious attention from the government as well as urgent action.
Canada's mineable reserves keep decreasing. But this country cannot afford to lose an industry which contributes so much to the national economy and to regional development. The government must take steps to revitalize this industry. Time has come, for example, to look at the possibility of giving preferential tax treatment to mining flow-through shares as well as at the need for a definition of "research and development" in the Income Tax Act that would include mining exploration.
World Cup Skiing
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Herb Grubel Capilano—Howe Sound, BC
Mr. Speaker, during the last two weekends the resort community of Whistler in my riding hosted three World Cup skiing events.
They were a great success as a result of the hard work of a large army of volunteers, the management and employees of the Whistler Ski Corporation, sports federations, the media and sponsors from the private sector. Over 12,000 spectators and many more television viewers throughout the world saw the events.
In the women's downhill Michelle Ruthven finished third, Kate Pace fourth and Kerrin Lee-Gartner ninth. In the men's downhill Cary Mullen finished fifth, Rob Boyd tenth and Edi Podivinski fourteenth. Cary Mullen also placed fifth in the Super Giant Slalom yesterday.
Let us thank all those who have made the event such a success. Let us congratulate those who braved one of the world's most challenging race courses and send sleds full of roses and a hearty thank you to those who represented Canada so well by beating some of the world's best racers.
Sixth Paraolympic Winter Games In Lillehammer
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Albina Guarnieri Mississauga East, ON
Mr. Speaker, the official opening of the Sixth ParaOlympic Winter Games took place last Thursday, in Lillehammer, Norway.
The Paralympic games are the premier competition for high performance athletes with disabilities.
Six hundred athletes representing 31 countries are participating in these Games, which are held from March 10 to 19.
Canada is represented by 34 athletes competing in alpine skiing, cross-country skiing, sledge hockey, biathlon and ice sledge racing. These athletes deserve our full support and recognition for their hard work and commitment to their sport.
Stacy Kohut of Calgary has won Canada's first gold medal of the Paralympics today. She was victorious in the Super G event. Lana Spreeman of Calgary has won two bronze medals, one in downhill skiing and the other in Super Giant Slalom. Ramona Hot of Edmonton won a bronze in a separate downhill event.
I am very pleased to announce that Canada's athletes have already won four medals at these Games.
Rotary International
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Paul Szabo Mississauga South, ON
Mr. Speaker, Canadian unity has been enhanced by the unselfish contributions of many organizations that have worked so hard to make Canada a better place.
One such organization is Rotary International. I was first introduced to Rotary 12 years ago by Mr. Allan Shulman and over the years I have been most impressed by its community leadership role.
In recognition of Rotarians, I would like to share with the House the Rotary International four-way test to guide what we say, think and do:
First, is it the truth?
Second, is it fair to all concerned?
Third, will it build goodwill and better friendship?
Fourth, will it be beneficial to all concerned?
Rotarians reflect the true spirit of Canadians and it is because of that spirit that Canada will always remain strong and united.
Collège Militaire Royal De Saint-Jean
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Maurice Godin Châteauguay, QC
Mr. Speaker, yesterday, some 3,000 people gathered to ask that the Collège militaire royal de Saint-Jean remain open. This demonstration was truly a show of solidarity, with residents from Saint-Jean, Montérégie, the greater Montreal and my own riding participating. Politicians representing all political affiliations joined in a common front to convey the message that the French-speaking military college in Saint-Jean must remain open.
The federal government must not make the mistake of closing this unique institution in North America, which serves to train military officers in their own language and milieu. The government must reconsider its decision and have the courage to recognize its mistake, to clearly show that French-language institutions have their place in the federal system.
The Reform Party
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Leon Benoit Vegreville, AB
Mr. Speaker, charges of racism have been used all too often as a means of attempting to undermine the Reform Party. These allegations of course are completely false and contribute nothing to the daily operations of the House.
These allegations are based on the fact that Reformers speak openly and honestly on issues such as Indian affairs and immigration. The members opposite sometimes seem more concerned about choosing politically correct words in a speech or question than with the actual content.
Members should be able to express themselves without looking over their shoulder for that politically correct watchdog every time they speak. A return to basic values, including respect and consideration regardless of gender, race or religion, is a much needed improvement in the House.
Statements By Members
March 14th, 1994 / 2:10 p.m.
Paul Devillers Simcoe North, ON
Mr. Speaker, on pages 94 and 95 of the red book the government made a commitment to develop a stringent code of conduct for lobbyists under the auspices of the soon to be appointed independent ethics counsellor.
The people of Simcoe North and Canadians in general expect substantial reform in the way lobbying is conducted. I feel the government must go all the way, making mandatory the full disclosure of fees, clients and the names of government officials being lobbied for first and second tier lobbyists.
In addition the government should give serious consideration to making the costs of lobbying non-tax deductible.
Canadians really appreciate the fact that this government kept its election promises in the recent budget. With the implementation of these reforms, they will be all the more pleased to see that a real effort is being made to reinstill political ethics in our parliamentary institutions.
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
London East
Joe Fontana Parliamentary Secretary to Minister of Transport
Mr. Speaker, I would like to pay homage to the victims of the 1933 Ukrainian famine and make fellow Canadians aware of this atrocious historical event.
Last year was the 50th anniversary of the famine and Ukrainians throughout North America and Europe held special ceremonies to commemorate the atrocities inflicted on their people.
The famine inflicted the highest casualties during the winter of 1932-33. While city dwellers were kept healthy and supplied with food, the countryside was wiped clean. By the spring of 1933 people were dying at the rate of 25,000 a day. By the end of 1933 it is estimated that between six million and ten million Ukrainians had starved to death.
Even today as Ukrainians commemorate the 50th anniversary of the famine, the events are still largely unknown.
I realize that we cannot do anything to bring these people back. However, we can make Canadians aware of the social and political injustice that has been relatively unknown for too long and ensure that such atrocities are never repeated.

text: Through pioneering science and partnerships with like-minded organizations worldwide, the National Aquarium is committed to conducting conservation research necessary to understand, interpret and explain aquatic ecosystems and to advocate for ocean health. Current projects include: Assessing Chronic Natural Resource Damages From BP Oil Spill The National Aquarium, in collaboration with Mote Marine Laboratory and Johns Hopkins University, is conducting research in the Gulf of Mexico to determine long-term effects on aquatic organisms in this ecosystem. Baltimore Harbor Project In an effort to help lawmakers make informed decisions, the National Aquarium, Maryland Department of Environment and Mote Marine Laboratory are working to correlate DNA damage in benthic organisms to organic contaminant levels in sediments in Baltimore's Inner Harbor. Chesapeake Bay Initiative Through our conservation initiatives in the Chesapeake Bay watershed, the National Aquarium recruits volunteers and partners with government agencies, schools, corporations and community service organizations to restore and protect tidal wetlands and other vital habitats in the Bay area. Additionally, the National Aquarium monitors the progress of these sites continually, collecting topographic, vegetation and fish use data. This data is shared with federal partners to help improve their design of future projects. Mercury (Hg) Fate and Transport in Aquatic Ecosystems The National Aquarium and Johns Hopkins University have jointly funded a postdoctoral fellow for two years to conduct research to determine how mercury bioaccumulates in aquatic ecosystems. The results of this research will enable the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to advance its efforts in developing ambient water-quality criteria for methylmercury. Mercury (Hg) in Wild Bottlenose Dolphins This toxic metal is thought to adversely impact populations of dolphins and porpoises throughout the world. The National Aquarium, Johns Hopkins University, the Chicago Zoological Society and Mote Marine Laboratory are working together to track mercury through the food chain using the resident dolphin population in Sarasota Bay, Florida. The outcome of this project will be the development of models to demonstrate how mercury bioaccumulates at different levels in the food chain and eventually in dolphins. Mercury (Hg) in Captive Bottlenose Dolphins The National Aquarium and Johns Hopkins University are looking at levels of mercury and methylmercury in fish that are fed to captive dolphins at the National Aquarium, as well as looking at levels of mercury species in captive dolphin tissues. This information will enable us to modify the diet of these dolphins, if necessary, to reduce mercury intake. Spotted Eagle Ray Research Spotted eagle rays are threatened or near-threatened, yet little is known about their basic biology. Researchers are tagging and tracking spotted eagle rays that routinely migrate in and out of Sarasota Bay, Florida, annually to determine their distribution, identify important foraging sites and investigate additional physiological information. Scientists will study blood samples from these animals to learn more about spotted eagle ray biology and reproduction. Collaborators are the National Aquarium and Mote Marine Laboratory.

Customer Reviews:
Rated 5 out of 5�by 2 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by DH The Best so far Played with Mizuno MX 200 irons and MX 700 hybrids for a few years. Needed a little more forgiveness but didn't want to lose the forged feel. These irons are the closest you will find to forged. Quality shots time and time again. Hybrids are light, great out of the rough and land softly on the green just like the irons. Fitted for yellow dot. Very happy with the purchase and now look forward to change up the woods and driver. Play off a 13 handicap and play 100-120 rounds per year. July 30, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by sinisterninja I cannot imagine a better club (for me, at least) Took the entire set to the golf dome today, and I am not exaggerating when I say that every club I hit was the best version of that club I have ever hit. Career shots all day long, with range balls nonetheless! The only way I am "upgrading" from these clubs is if I get so good I decide to go with blade irons. I am a surgeon and these are my scalpels. Thanks Ping. March 9, 2013

Creamy Baked Artichoke Dip
The following article was written by Keegan Baur.
Holiday parties are just around the corner, and we're all gearing up to prepare—and eat—the delicious food that comes with them. In preparation, I've been looking for an artichoke dip recipe that doesn't contain vegan mayonnaise. I finally found an interesting one in the cookbook Eat, Drink, & Be Vegan by Dreena Burton.
However, much to my dismay, the recipe was chock-full of one of my least favorite ingredients: olives. (I wouldn't touch an olive with a 10-foot pole, even if you dared me.) So I changed the recipe and made it my own, keeping potatoes as the base. I'm 100 percent satisfied with the results. Thanks to tasty vegan recipes like this one, we'll all have reason to be merry this season!
This recipe was adapted from Eat, Drink & Be Vegan.
Creamy Baked Artichoke Dip
Approx. 6 in. French bread
1/4 cup raw cashews, optional
1/2 cup cooked red or Yukon gold potatoes, packed
2 Tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp. plus 1-2 pinches sea salt
2 Tbsp. nutritional yeast
2-3 pinches freshly ground black pepper
1 cup nondairy milk (soy milk is best for creaminess)
3 1/2 Tbsp. olive oil
3 Tbsp. fresh, flat-leaf parsley
1 14-oz can artichoke hearts, drained, rinsed, and lightly squeezed
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, packed
4-5 oz. frozen spinach, thawed and drained
Vegan Parmesan cheese topping, optional
- Preheat the oven to 375ºF.
- Add the French bread to the food processor in small, broken pieces and pulse until you have large crumbs. Set aside.
- Place the cashews in a food processor and blend until finely ground. Scrape down the sides of the processor bowl and add the potatoes, lemon juice, vinegar, and garlic, 1 teaspoonful of the salt, the nutritional yeast, and the pepper. Pulse a few times. Add 1/4 cup nondairy milk and purée until smooth. Add the remaining milk, 3 tablespoonfuls of the oil, and the parsley. Purée until very smooth and well combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl when necessary.
- Add the artichoke, basil, and spinach and pulse lightly to incorporate the ingredients while retaining a slightly chunky consistency.
- Pour into a medium-size baking dish. (A 24- to 32-ounce dish works well.)
- Add 1/2 tablespoonful of oil and 1 to 2 pinches of salt to the bowl of breadcrumbs. Mix well and sprinkle evenly over the dip. Top with vegan cheese.
- Bake, uncovered, for 25 to 30 minutes.
- Remove and let cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
Makes 5 to 6 servings (However, I advise making a double batch because this goes quickly!)
Even Kobe wants in on this dip!
Commenting is closed.
Trader Joes had Organic Canned Artichokes..happened to see them 2 days ago and had to have them…psyched to make this!!
Kobe is the coolest dog ever! Give him some creamy baked artichoke dip!
SO yummy and simple! I've been waiting for a recipe like this one!
Laura: In water will work!
Unfortunately, artichokes are the most highly pesticide sprayed vegetable so it is almost impossible to find them canned and organic. Best to get your own organic artichokes and start there….
Are the artichokes supposed to be in water, or the marinated kind?

In short: Wold goldIn full: A great race. The 'half-up', 'half-down' combo worked well for me, though it might be nice to run it the other way around to get the encouagement of the Skidby locals in the last mile, and not have 'that hill' to worry about! Top race, great marshalling, I hope I'll be back.Date of review: January 30, 2012
In short: all good - as usualIn full: We were set off speedily and as usual there was good support in the villages and at various cross roads.

In short: Brilliant raceIn full: Travelled down from the borders for this run. I read initially it was quite hilly??? its fkat compared to where i run, A definite possibility of a new pb ( i took 2 minutes off my last 10 miler) very well organised and a fantastic atmosphere with marshals well spread out applauding and cheering runners on. Well done hull i,ll see you next year Date of review: January 29, 2012
In short: Delightful race for all abilities and very welcomingIn full: I ran this for the first time and was bit aprehensive because I am not that fast even without the hills (normally 10 minute-ish miles) but it was great. Just the right amount of challenge and largely in the first five miles. Friendly competitors and marshalls (normal for E. Yorks of course!) and excellent organisation including plenty of marshalls well-drilled in controlling road traffic. Good value especially as there is a good quality long sleeved running top at the end rather than a cheap t-shirt. A really uplifting day.Date of review: January 29, 2012
In short: challenging hills made this a fun, exciting raceIn full: This is the second time i've ran the ferriby 10, the main reason being is that I love the challenge of the first 5 miles of uphill.

Product Details
Inspired by estate jewelry and Victorian symbolism, the pieces in jewelry designer Lisa Salzer's Lulu Frost collection feature a mash-up of vintage and modern influences with retro-chic designs. Crafted of 14k gold, the numbers on these rings are modeled after those found on New York's Plaza Hotel room doors. We like to wear them stacked to create meaningful combinations, commemorate special dates and keep lucky numbers close at hand. Each piece is made to order, so yours will truly be yours alone.
Size & Fit Details
Lulu Frost 14k gold code ring
Lulu Frost 14k gold code ring is rated out of 5 by 3.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Frenchprep from Very pretty rings - simple yet timeless I got the 1 and 0 to make a 10 stacked on my right ring finger as both of my children were born on the 10th of the same month. I think the rings are beautifully made and unlike one other reviewer, I think they feel substantial and are perfect in terms of weight thickness and fit. I got a number 2 to wear on a middle finger too. I have rings by the little blue box designer and a couple of French jewelers and consider my Lulu Frost rings to be on par in quality. I think these rings are timeless and feel special.

Rated 5 out of 5 by SMK127 from Love this collection. I completely disagree with the previous reviewer's take on this item. I wear the "7" as my wedding band and its exactly as I could have hoped for. These are stacking rings, so by nature they are meant to be dainty and thin, but they are "substantial" in that the quality is great and will last for years. They are not, however, large statement rings. I would recommend to anyone who understands these will be delicate and may want to create a personalized number combination. I receive compliments all the time and hope to add more to my collection.

Rated 1 out of 5 by galen from Lulu Frost 14K Gold Ring I ordered this ring thinking that it would be somewhat substantial. It was not. If you like really thin rings than you will love it. I tend to go for a thicker band which this ring is not. Very, very light and airy. If you have really thin fingers and want the look to be discreet, than you will like it. There was just no substance whatsoever. I am an avid jcrew shopper and this ring was a bit of a disappointment.

Great, all-origional soundtrack
Yeah, that is a good one as well.
I didn't include concert film/documentary soundtracks in my list because I consider them more live albums than soundtracks, but I would have to say that the Last Waltz is definitely up there. (Along with Let It Be, Stop Making Sense, etc.)
Also, another soundtrack I would like to add is the Wonder Boys soundtrack. Great songs by Neil Young, Buffalo Springfield, John Lennon, Leonard Cohen, and of course Bob Dylan. ("Things Have Changed" - for which he won the Oscar)

Rafał Blechacz ‒ Biography
"This is breathtaking…. There is never any doubt that there is a personality shaping the music"
( BBC Music Magazine, April 2012 (CD review Debussy, Szymanowski)
Rafał Blechacz was born in the town of Nakło nad Notecią in northern Poland in June 1985. His innate musical talent became clear soon after he began piano lessons at the age of five. Three years later young Rafał enrolled at the Arthur Rubinstein State Music School in Bydgoszcz and progressed to study at the city's Feliks Nowowiejski Academy of Music, where he graduated in May 2007 from Katarzyna Popowa-Zydroń's piano class. Blechacz's meteoric rise from gifted student to globally acclaimed artist gathered momentum in 2002 when he took second prize in the Arthur Rubinstein International Competition for Young Pianists in Bydgoszcz. His progress continued the following year when he was named co-winner of the fifth Hamamatsu International Piano Competition in Japan and in 2004 with outright victory in the Morocco Philharmony International Piano Competition.
In October 2005 Rafał Blechacz attracted national headlines and international recognition as winner of Poland's International Chopin Piano Competition, the first Polish musician to take its top prize since Krystian Zimerman thirty years earlier. The stylish eloquence and mature intensity of Blechacz's competition performances were rewarded not only with the winner's medal but also with a clean sweep of the event's four special prizes as well as the Audience Award. His refined artistry was soon acknowledged by Deutsche Grammophon with the offer of an exclusive recording contract. Blechacz, who signed to the Yellow Label in May 2006, became only the second Polish pianist after Krystian Zimerman to join the company's international roster of artists. Critics greeted the October 2007 release of Blechacz's Deutsche Grammophon solo debut album with enthusiastic reviews. His interpretations of Chopin's complete Preludes and two Nocturnes op.62 were noted for their depth and "mature pianistic insight" by the Süddeutsche Zeitung while BBC Music Magazine described Blechacz as a "superlative pianist but an even finer musician". He was named "Instrumentalist of the Year – Piano" at the 2008 Echo Klassik Awards for his Chopin album.
Following his success in Warsaw, Blechacz was invited to give recitals at many of the world's leading concert halls and concerto performances with a long list of great orchestras. His early career included important debuts at, among others, London's Wigmore Hall and Royal Festival Hall, the Palais des Beaux Arts in Brussels, Amsterdam's Concertgebouw, the Salle Pleyel in Paris, the Berlin Philharmonie, the Alte Oper in Frankfurt and the Konzerthaus in Vienna. His artistic development was also informed by the experience of landmark recitals at the Chopin Festival in Warsaw, the Klavier Festival Ruhr, Festival de la Roque d'Anthéron, the Verbier and Salzburg Festivals and the Gilmore International Keyboard Festival in Kalamazoo, and has grown through close collaborations with conductors such as Charles Dutoit, Valery Gergiev, Daniel Harding, Marek Janowski, Paavo Järvi, Fabio Luisi, Jerzy Maksymiuk, Trevor Pinnock, Mikhail Pletnev and David Zinman. In recent seasons Blechacz's concerto appearances include Beethoven's Piano Concerto no. 4 with the Orchestra dell'Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia and Milan's Orchestra Filarmonica della Scala, Beethoven's Concerto no. 3 with the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie and Concerto no. 2 with the Lucerne Symphony Orchestra and the Tonhalle Orchestra Zurich, Schumann's Piano Concerto with the Mahler Chamber Orchestra and Chopin's Concerto no. 2 with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra.
Blechacz's second Deutsche Grammophon recording revealed great subtlety in his interpretations of three piano sonatas by Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven. It received a Fryderyk, Poland's equivalent of a Grammy Award, for Solo Piano Album of the Year in 2009; Gramophone, meanwhile, wrote of the "textural transparency, expressive economy, creative inspiration, high humour and strategically placed silences" of Blechacz's playing. The pianist chose to mark Chopin's bicentenary in 2010 with a recording of his compatriot's piano concertos, made in company with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra and Jerzy Semkow. The album achieved gold status within a day of its release in Poland and went on to become a double platinum seller, while its artistic quality was acknowledged with a 2010 Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik and two Fryderyks. The special qualities of his work in concert and on disc were recognised in 2010 with the Premio Internazionale Accademia Chigiana, awarded annually by the Accademia Musicale Chigiana in Siena to an outstanding pianist or violinist.
Blechacz delivered another outstanding Deutsche Grammophon recording in 2012 with an album of works for solo piano by Debussy and Szymanowski. "Blechacz's Debussy is little short of miraculous," observed the London Sunday Times. "This is an unforgettable disc from one of the pianistic giants of our time," it concluded. The album was named "Solo Recording of the Year (20th/21st century)/Piano" at the 2012 Echo Klassik Awards and received the coveted Fryderyk for Best Classical Recording of the Year in 2013.
While Chopin remains central to his repertoire, Rafał Blechacz's abundant virtuosity and profound musicianship have served works by a wide range of composers, from Bach and Beethoven to Liszt and Debussy. He returns to Chopin for his latest Deutsche Grammophon album, a recording of the composer's Polonaises nos. 1-7, planned for release in September 2013.
