Gathering of the most divine felines
Cat fanciers from around the U.S. meet in St. Petersburg to compete and enjoy all things cat.
By STEPHANIE GARRY, Times Staff Writer
Published July 29, 2007
Meows from 147 felines filled the cavernous hall of the Coliseum Saturday as cat people across the nation gathered to see who has the prettiest baby.
Coats glistened, eyes shone, and tails flicked. Every now and then, a hiss warned.
The show, sponsored by the Hurricane Cat Club of Tampa, allowed 50 breeds to show off their lovely features - leopard-spotted Bengals, long-haired ragdolls, thick-coated Maine coons and even the occasional rehabilitated stray.
"We're cat people," said Rene Knapp, 56, of Colchester, Conn. "They're my babies. It doesn't matter if they have pedigree or not."
Knapp has a tattoo of her favorite cat, an Abyssinian named Merlot after her favorite wine. She judged the household pets, something she knows a little bit about. She has 21 cats at home -- blackjack -- and won't adopt any more.
The two-day event draws hundred. Members prowled the Coliseum floor, pacing between tables covered in colorful tablecloths and cat cages, holding their pets like footballs.
Cattery owners attend to sample public reaction to their furry products and improve the breed. And cat lovers in the market go to window shop. All can't resist the attraction of winning a ribbon, known as a rosette.
"Once you get that first rosette, you get hooked," said Rob Seliskar, Hurricane Cat Club president and self-described "crazy one."
On Saturday he was decked out in a leather vest, red bandana on his head and beads, in accordance with the show's Gasparilla theme.
This kind of catfest requires strict organization. Governing the show is a 53-page list of show rules, published by TICA, or the International Cat Association based in Harlingen, Texas.
Organizers are strict about hotel stays, too.
"The condition of your room reflects on the entire cat fancy, and it only takes one mishap to lose a hotel even a whole chain forever," reads the Hurricane Cat Club Web site.
Each breed has a standard that judges rule by. Some should have flat faces, ears on the front of the head rather than the side. Fur length and cleanliness all factor in. Personality counts, too.
Scottie Cone, 64, from Raleigh, N.C., brought Toby of Rags2Riches.
A fluffy ragdoll, Toby was born without eyes. But he's become a two-time international winner.
This week, his family learned that he likes to swim when they experimented with putting him in the pool. They knew he liked baths, but were surprised at how he took to the water after riding around on a float.
"Most blind cats are scared," Cone said. "He loves life. He loves to go to PetSmart and ride in the buggy."

Hi Gina, how was your Tuesday night?
Hi Everyone!
We had prolonged power failure starting the night of the hurricane, which lasted for 5 days. The storm itself was terrifying. I thought the windows would crash in, but the house held up well. Trees down all over the area, including on rooftops... The one road we use all the time finally opened today!
I tried to get a hotel, but they were totally booked. Many thanks to our daughter for inviting us to stay there. It was so cold at that time.
I'll never believe there was not have a coordinated, nationwide computer hack of voting machines and electronic results tabulation. Why? Because they can, and they are determined to hold on to their power to finish destroying our country.
Other than that, how did you enjoy the play, Mrs. Lincoln?
Vision, how was your week?
Thank the Lord you're okay, Doc! I noticed your absence last week. Those storms can be quite scary, as I know.
I'm glad you're back with us.
Thank you! All the democrats around here are happy. I took my 3 yr old grandson to a swim class at the community center yesterday and was chatting with a woman there.
She said their house at the Jersey shore was severely damaged. Then she said that her sister is ONE OF THOSE REPUBLICANS AND IS COMPLAINING ABOUT FEMA.
"Ordinary" democrats are senseless about the true nature of the commies that have taken over our government.
How true! Today in church our pastor talked about trying to get through Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners without fighting about politics.
So...how's the kindle?
I purchased a second wifi radio and if either of you have a little money and wifi you should think about getting it. It's on my nightstand...I now listen to otr every night and wake up to music from the 40s. Just LOVE this thing. From now on I won't be listening to the BB on the radio in bed, I'll be steaming.
I like the Kindle very much. Can't really understand what all those people on Amazon were complaining about...
I've been downloading previews, which is a great feature. I pre-ordered Michael Connelly's new book, The Black Box, which will be out Nov. 26. The only annoying thing is that I was high up for it on the library list, and now I'll have to pay $14.99.
The good thing, though, is that I can read it on the Kindle when we take a vacation Dec 3, and I wouldn't have had it from the library at that point.
I also pre-ordered the new Nero Wolfe book, which will be out Nov. 13.
At the moment I'm previewing 'The Generals: American Military Command from World War 2 to Today.'
I'm not reading anything to do with current politics.
Yes, our country has fully turned the bend down to Hell. It's a sickening, heartbreaking thing to watch, like a nightmare that doesn't end.
That's a snazzy radio, though! :-)
Cool. This is a great read if Armstrong or the TdF is of interest. After this you'll understand all the strange stories in the news.
Anything on the grill today?
It's truly an amazing thing how I continually encounter ordinary people who turn out to like obama. we're avoiding news for now, if possible. How bizarre is the Petraeus story...
*That really is a nice radio!
This is a great read if Armstrong or the TdF is of interest. After this youll understand all the strange stories in the news.
That looks good...
Today we went to Applebees for lunch. Every year on Veteran's Day they give a free meal to vets. It was actually overwhelming. They made such a big fuss over my husband, thanking him for his service and giving him a thank you card and flag pin. Several employees shook his hand and thanked him. They also had him sign the wall. The place was full of vets, young and old.
Very cool.
Yes, Bama lost, and the Saints won, beating the undefeated Dirty Birds of Atlanta.
Nothing's on the grill. I'm going to cook some bell peppers, onion and garlic, add some eggs and make some hashbrowns and bacon. We have biscuits or tortillas, too.
What did you cook?
Bravo to Applebee's! What a nice lunch!
Had another meat bender this weekend. Starting off with burgers Friday night, then Sat had 3 racks of ribs and pulled pork on the smoker, with chicken wings on the grill. I have a problem.
It was touching. Every table was taken, and there was a crowd waiting to get in.
We went to see the Clint Eastwood baseball movie last night. I don't think the critics liked it, but the audience applauded at the end...
You've had a protein-packed weekend! MMMMMM!!! That's no problem. :-)
SteelYourFaith said he liked that picture, too. I'd like to see it.
Ah, I have a feeling I know where Mr. Walker stands. :-) God bless his heart.
Greetings everyone.
Really bad week, eh? I thought Mitt had it. Obama playing to empty seats while Romney was drawing packed houses. I see reports of voter fraud and I'm inclined to believe it put Obama over the top.
I'm prepared to take down my shingle the moment the government starts to tell me how I am to comply with Obamacare. I love what I do, the people I work with, and the people who honor me with their trust of my care, skill, and judgement. I had planned to practice as long as I was physically able, but I will not be further controlled by the state.
I am just sick for my country.
We're sick, too, Steel. It's an indescribably painful thing to watch your country needlessly fall, although we know God is not mocked; whatever a man (or a nation) sows, that shall he reap.
We're reaping a harvest of national sin, and it's liable to be the worst in the history of the world before it's over.
I do not recognize Obama as legit. I consider him a fraud, and I will not comply with his mandates.
Night all. I'll be listening...
Have a brilliant week.
I'm afraid you're right, WXRGina. The government has our economy on the brink and they are relentlessly driving it to catastrophe. My opinion is that they are criminal, dishonest, and pure evil.
Yes, evil, and just what we are told to expect, according to Scripture, and no doubt, right on time, as the Lord has determined. It hurts like Hell.
LOL. That's wonderful
Just to be safe...

JEDEC solid state technology association has announced the publication of JEDEC DDR3L, which will enable a significant reduction in power consumption for a broad range of products that utilize memory; including laptops, desktops, servers, networking systems and a wide array of consumer electronics products.
Called DDR3L for DDR3 Low Voltage, devices adhering to the new standard will operate from a single 1.35V power supply voltage compared to 1.5V in existing devices. Under the new standard, DDR3L memory devices will be functionally compatible to DDR3 memory devices, but not all devices will be interoperable at both voltage ranges.
The DDR3L standard defines the operating characteristics for DDR3L memory devices, with the devices offering a reduction in power consumption of 15% or more as compared to DDR3 (and 40% as compared to DDR2), when operating at the same performance and load capacity. This significant reduction in power consumption, especially in memory-intensive systems, will have dramatic benefits in areas such as power supply demand, system cooling requirements and potential packaging density.
Already available in limited supply with some manufacturers, 1.35V devices are forecasted to be widely available from suppliers, who have been working within JEDEC to ensure DDR3L compatible devices may be procured from multiple sources. Rapid introduction will be facilitated by the fact that the fundamental specifications have not changed, and many systems will require only minor modifications in order to adhere to the new standard
"The benefits of using JEDEC DDR3L in the server market are immediately apparent. The possibility of reduced power consumption and lowered cooling demands with no loss in performance can have a far-reaching, positive impact - especially as the industry strives to meet ever more challenging environmental requirements," said Joe Macri, corporate vice president and chief technology officer client division at AMD.

Lobster trap limit increased for Maine islandAP , Associated Press
Jun. 30, 2013 9:49 AM ET
SWANS ISLAND, Maine (AP) — Lobstermen on Swans Island off the eastern Maine coast are now allowed to fish more traps.
Gov. Paul LePage last week signed into law a bill allowing Swans Island fishermen to have 550 traps, up from 475.
The law aims to increase economic opportunities by allowing Swans Island lobstermen to take advantage of the plentiful summer lobster harvest. Officials say the higher trap limit won't threaten the lobster resource.
Most lobstermen in Maine are allowed to have up to 800 fishing traps, but Swans Island and some other fishing zones have lower limits. Swans Island is located about five miles south of Mount Desert Island and has a population of about 330.

United Nations – What a busy day! I'm exhausted! The Secretary was in Washington opening the Major Economies Meeting on Energy Security and Climate Change, which brought together countries representing 85 percent of the global economy and 80 percent of global carbon dioxide emissions Major Economies Meeting on Energy Security and Climate Change. I stayed in New York.
With the situation in Burma weighing heavily on our minds, I used meetings with my Chinese and Indian counterparts to encourage them to support the aspirations of the Burmese people and condemn the violent acts of the Burmese junta. I also met with the Director General of the International Labor Organization (ILO) to discuss their efforts to create change in Burma, where child labor and forced labor are major problems. President Bush made a strong statement on Burma this morning, and we were also pleased to see a good statement from ASEAN – that's the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. The Burmese Foreign Minister was at the Thursday meeting of ASEAN, so I hope he heard our message and that of Burma's neighbors loud and clear.
I also met with Dr. Margaret Chan, Director General of the World Health Organization (WHO). Dr. Chan and I talked about ways to strengthen the WHO's work around the globe. We strongly support WHO initiatives to combat diseases such as HIV/AIDS and to prevent pandemics.
One of my other important missions while in New York is to let people around the world know how the United States works through the United Nations. So today I did media interviews with RTL television from Germany, Kyodo News from Japan, and Al-Jazeera's English service. If you're from any of the countries covered by these outlets, I invite you to visit their websites to see what I talked about.
I'll keep you updated from New York!

I could have sworn that Mr George W. Bush has absolutely no concern about the environment!
It was a charade!
Can't he see that the U.S. becomes isolated when it comes to environment? I feel that the U.S. - India talks on environment are just part of a greater "divide et impera" plan to undermine UN green policy.
Developing and industrialized nations are investing large amounts of money into green economy. The U.S. won't! Mr Bush said that this is not compatible with economy growth. We, in Europe, disagree! If developing nations can afford to invest money into the environment so the U.S. should.
We can clearly see now that Mr Bush is a "war president", not a "peace and cooperation" one. This brings shame to the once proud and moral U.S.
Eric in New Mexico writes:
@ Robin -- Hi Robin,
Don't believe every thing you think my friend.
"Cowboy diplomacy" is after all, essentially about mending fences and getting the herd to greener pastures.
Oh yeah, and occasionally dealing with a few varmints in the process, and maybe a rustler or two.
Well we have a bit of a situation in which a few really nasty outlaws are trying to drive the entire herd over oblivion's cliff.
How would you suggest we deal with it?
Robin in Romania writes:
@ -- Eric in New Mexico
"Don't believe every thing you think my friend." I trust you don't mean that.
I have some ideas: more energy efficient vehicles, industrial facilities that pollute less and much more.
" Well we have a bit of a situation in which a few really nasty outlaws are trying to drive the entire herd over oblivion's cliff." I totally agree, but not as you expressed it. We, the herd, aka Kyoto pact/treaty signers try to drive a few let's just say... "people with other views" into really protecting the environment because it belongs to us all.
It can be done, IF you really want to.
Eric in New Mexico writes:
@ Robin -- Well Robin, to pass on my father's sound advice to me on things political:
"Son, never believe anything you hear, only half of what you read, but believe what you see and get your eyes checked often."
I make my case plain and simple. Humanity cannot afford to waste human and material resource on conflict when global crisis needs lie unmet. It can hardly afford to waste time building weapons that can't be used and remain civilized, nor allow those that have been built to be used by anyone. Last I checked, we've been able to "stop the car in time" every time, but going crisis to crisis is playing Russian roulette. It's time for mankind to get off that rollercoaster, creates a lot of social malfunction and stress among populations.
And as it concerns the envioronment, global warming is just one of those global crisis, solutions to which are made by consensus among nations, and on occasion, by a coalition of the willing.
Kyoto was not the alfa and omega end all solution to global warming....fact is we arn't going to stop what is a natural event exacerbated by mankind's activities on this planet. We may slow it down, moderate its effects, but the bottom line is that we must adapt to changed global environment, just as we were forced to adapt to new global security situation after 9/11.
The U.S. didn't start either crisis, but we will take steps to resolve them, on many levels, and on many battlefields, diplomatic and otherwise.
Take care,
Robin in Romania writes:
@ Eric -- I have little doubt that the U.S.A. will finally switch to green policies.
Your father's advice is very wise. As a matter of fact, I generally believe only what I see. And I see little to no change when it comes to switching gear towards green policy.
On the other hand, I feel the environment is changing. We only had about 30 days of snow last winter, instead of 180. We had severe drought here. And this is happening worldwide. Floods in about 20 countries in Africa. Extended drought in Australia. Several months ago Europe was hit by a hurricane. And the list can continue.
About politics. I see the same approach in the Middle East that was 20 years ago. Something needs to change. I also agree with you in the second paragraph. We need not spend any more of our limited resources on weaponry.
I see we have different views when it comes to 9/11 and perhaps Iraq. This is just democratic, I suppose. Thus, I must assure you that I respect your point of view on this matters even if I don't share it.
Finally, I wish someone from DoS to explain to me what was done to improve both, the environment policies and the international "stage". Thank you!

Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. finally took off the wraps from its highly-anticipated next-generation PlayStation Portable. Code-named NGP (next-generation portable), the new device will feature incredibly powerful hardware along with a number of interactive and social capabilities that truly take the mobile gaming to the next-level.
Sony NGP is based on a system-on-chip with four ARM Cortex-A9 cores, PowerVR SGX543MP4+ graphics engine and a memory controller. The new portable game console has 5" multi-touch OLED screen with 960x544 resolution, typical set of PSP buttons, two cameras (front and rear), Wi-Fi and 3G connectivity, GPS, six-axis motion sensing system (three-axis gyroscope, three-axis accelerometer), three-axis electronic compass, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR controller, integrated speakers and microphone as well as multi touchpad located on the back side of the system. For the first time, a portable entertainment system will feature two analog sticks, which enable a wider range of game genres to be brought into the portable experience.
NGP adopts a new game medium, a small flash memory based card, dedicated for NGP software titles. Taking advantage of the flash memory feature, this innovative card can store the full software titles plus add-on game content or the game save data directly on to the card. By adopting flash memory based card, SCE will be able to provide game cards with higher capacity in the future, allowing developers to store more game data to deliver rich and immersive games.
While succeeding the basic design philosophy of PSP, NGP adopts the so-called super oval design form-factor, created to fit comfortably in users' hands. The console is approximately 182.0 x 18.6 x 83.5mm (width x height x depth) large, but the weight is unclear.
By having both Wi-Fi and 3G network connectivity, together with various applications, NGP will enable "infinite" possibilities for users to "encounter", "connect", "discover", "share" and "play" with friends wherever they are.
While the general specifications of the Sony's next-generation portable game system are now clear, there are still a lot of uncertainties. For example, with 3G and Wi-Fi connectivity, multi-touch screen and integrated microphone and speakers the device will be able to easily act as a mobile Internet device (MID) as well as phone. But it is questionable whether the company will actually support such functionality officially. For example, the original PSP only supports Skype calls. Sony also did not touch upon backwards compatibility with PSP games and media.
NGP will make its debut at the end of the year 2011.

Contest to determine next owner of cafe
SHERBURN – If you've always wanted to run your own cafe, the opportunity might be one essay away.
In a big reveal here Thursday morning, it was announced that the Cup and Saucer Cafe and Sweet Shoppe will be given away through an essay contest.
After being run by Pat Hanson and her family for more than 60 years, the cafe closed for about a year and a half. Last fall, local businessman Gene Scheppmann re-opened it with help from others in the community. But it was never his plan to run the cafe for the long term.
"It was always his intention to turn it over to someone else," said Bryan Stading, director of the Regional Center for Entrepreneurial Facilitation and an adviser to the Martin County economic development program.
"We knew he was interested in selling it or even giving it away," added Sherburn Mayor Dorothy Behne. "But that's not as easy as you would think. So we contacted [the county] and it's gone on from there."
"It's important for small towns to have a working cafe, and we also knew we needed to help find a new owner," Stading said.
The essay contest idea came about with the help of a business class from Bethany Lutheran College in Mankato. The class has taken on the project to assist in the publicity, marketing, collecting of applications and attracting of a new owner.
"They are applying their business learning to a real project," Stading said.
Essays are expected to be no more than three pages and address why the applicant should be the new cafe owner, as well as his or her plans to help improve the cafe, along with the Sherburn community. Some of the requirements that judges will look for include the willingness to work long hours, and possession of a strong sense of community.
"They'll need someone who understands the restaurant business," Behne said. "We want to be able to give it to someone deserving, but [who] also has an understanding of the business and its role in a small town."
There is a $75 entry fee for the contest that will go toward the development of the cafe.
"It's a 'pay it forward' account to help the new owners and also spur other business development," Stading said.
The new owners also will receive advice from Scheppmann and the Martin County Economic Development Authority.
"We look at this as an opportunity for an entrepreneur to step forward," Stading said. "We see storefronts closing every day, and we want to reverse that trend. The food service and having a business in a small town is challenging."
Stading hopes the unique opportunity will gather attention beyond the region.
"We probably just have our toe in the door," he said. "The story tells itself. Our job is to help find a new owner and help with that transition. I think the exposure is just beginning, because we're so used to businesses closing, so something like this is almost unheard of."
The essay contest will be begin Thursday and run through April 8. It can be entered online at www.martincountyeda.org

10 Most American-Made Cars of 2013
Buying from a U.S.-based maker hasn't guaranteed an "American-made" in a long time, but even a car with 80% American-made parts isn't "American" if it isn't assembled here. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration admits there's no such thing as a 100% American car and notes that one of its most "American" vehicles -- the 80% U.S.-produced Dodge Caravan -- has a motor made in Mexico and is assembled in Canada.
Twenty years ago, Congress passed the American Automobile Labeling Act requiring cars to have labels specifying their percentage of U.S./Canadian parts, the country of assembly and the country of origin for the engine and transmission. The NHTSA has compiled lists of these vehicles for each model year to help consumers who care about such things get more homegrown product for their money.
The following are the 10 vehicles assembled in the U.S. using the most U.S. and Canadian parts:

Tight hips? The one stretch you need to do.
Q: What muscle do people most need to stretch? A: If there is one muscle group that tends to be tight for a lot of folks, it�s the hip flexors� the muscles at the front of your hip that bring your knees toward your chest. Many of us have jobs that require sitting, placing the hip in prolonged flexion and causing the hip flexors to become overactive and shortened.�Keeping your hip flexors limber will enable you to walk longer distances without pain. The tightness is often felt at the front of the hips, and can result in hip discomfort and negatively impact the knees and low back. Try this hip flexor stretch when you find yourself sitting for a long period of time, and prior to your workouts: � Take one step forward. � Point the toes of your back foot at the forward foot�s heel. � Squeeze your butt so that your lower back flattens and rounds�a bit. (Pretend you�re a scared dog with its tail between its legs.) � Keep the abs tight and bend the forward knee until you feel a stretch at the front of the hip on the same side as the back foot. �WENDY BATTS, Sharecare.com expert, Fitness Expert, Master Instructor, National Academy of Sports Go Back to All the Answers, October 2013 Archive CLICK HERE TO CHECK OUT ALL THE ANSWERS ARCHIVE Brought to you by: Spry Living

Nvidia Corp. was the first to market with its DirectX 10 graphics processor, but its arch-rival ATI, graphics products group of Advanced Micro Devices, may be the first with its DirectX 11 graphics chip. According to rumours, code-named ATI RV870 graphics processing unit will be launched in late July, whereas Nvidia's code-named GT300 is projected to be released in October.
The new generation of graphics processors with DirectX 11 capabilities will not only further boost functionality of chips, but will also bring new levels of performance. Since there are months before the launches of both RV870 and GT300, specifications of the newcomers have not leaked yet. According to Heise Online, AMD plans to release its RV870 in late July or early August; meanwhile, according to The Inquirer web-site, Nvidia's GT300 will only be shipped on October 15, if everything goes as planned.
Both ATI/AMD and Nvidia are interested in launching their new graphics chips along with the release of Windows 7 operating system, which may catalyze more users to acquire new personal computers. Sales of graphics cards collapsed as a consequence of the global recession and the launch of new generation of GPUs can also improve sales of graphics adapters.
DirectX 11 further improves programmability of graphics processors and allows software developers to more efficiently use graphics chips for general-purpose computing.
AMD and Nvidia did not comment on the news-story.

Lentils with Pearl Onions
c.1997, M.S. Milliken & S. Feniger, all rights reserved
- 2 cups brown or green lentils
- 12 -ounce package frozen pearl onions
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 teaspoons salt
Rinse lentils and drain. Place lentils, onions and bay leaf in medium large saucepan with enough water to cover by 1-inch. Bring to a simmer over medium heat then reduce heat to very low, cover, and cook very gently 20 minutes. Uncover, stir in salt, and add water if necessary to just cover the lentils. Continue cooking gently, covered, 10 to 25 minutes until lentils are just cooked through (creamy, not floury in the center, but not mushy either).
Frozen pearl onions are a super easy way to introduce a savory note to legumes as they are cooking. Lentils are the quickest cooking member of the legume family and need no soaking since the seed coat is very thin.

Health economic evaluation of acupuncture along meridians for treating migraine in China: results from a randomized controlled trial
Source: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22697367
To evaluate different types of acupuncture treatment for migraine in China from the perspective of health economics, particularly the comparison between treatment of specific acupoints in Shaoyang meridians and penetrating sham acupoints treatment.
Data were obtained from a multicenter, randomized controlled trial of acupuncture treatment in patients with migraine. Four-hundred eighty migraineurs were randomly assigned to 3 arms of treatment with genuine acupoints and 1 arm of penetrating sham acupoints. The primary outcome measurement was the cost-effectiveness ratio (C/E), expressed as cost per 1 day reduction of headache days from baseline to week 16. Cost-comparison analyses, differences in the migraine-specific quality of life questionnaire (MSQ), and the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio were taken as secondary outcome measurements. In addition, a sensitivity analysis was conducted.
The total cost per patient was CNY1273.2 (95% CI 1171.3-1375.1) in the Shaoyang specific group, CNY1427.7 (95% CI 1311.8-1543.6) in the Shaoyang non-specific group, CNY1490.8 (95% CI 1327.1-1654.6) in the Yangming specific group, and CNY1470.1 (95% CI 1358.8-1581.3) in the sham acupuncture group. The reduced days with migraine were 3.972+/-2.7, 3.555+/-2.8, 3.793+/-3.6, and 2.155+/-3.7 in these 4 groups (P < 0.05 for each genuine acupoints group vs the sham group), respectively, at week 16. The C/Es of the 4 groups were 320.5, 401.6, 393.1, and 682.2, respectively. Results of the sensitivity analysis were consistent with that of the cost-effectiveness analysis. The Shaoyang specific group significantly improved in all 3 MSQ domains compared with the sham acupuncture group.
Treatment of specific acupoints in Shaoyang meridians is more cost-effective than that of non-acupoints, representing a dramatic improvement in the quality of life of people with migraine and a significant reduction in cost. Compared with the other 3 groups, Shaoyang-specific acupuncture is a relatively cost-effective treatment for migraine prophylaxis in China.

Mirecki hospitalized after beating
By Ron Knox, Eric Weslander (Contact)
Originally published 05:37 p.m., December 5, 2005 Updated 06:31 p.m., December 5, 2005
Douglas County sheriffs deputies are investigating the reported beating of a Kansas University professor who gained recent notoriety for his Internet tirades against Christian fundamentalists.
Kansas University religious studies professor Paul Mirecki reported he was beaten by two men about 6:40 a.m. today on a roadside in rural Douglas County. In a series of interviews late this afternoon, Mirecki said the men who beat him were making references to the controversy that has propelled him into the headlines in recent weeks. Mirecki
I didnt know them, but Im sure they knew me, he said.
Mirecki said he was driving to breakfast when he noticed the men tailgating him in a pickup truck.
I just pulled over hoping they would pass, and then they pulled up real close behind, he said. They got out, and I made the mistake of getting out.
He said the men beat him about the upper body with their fists, and he said he thinks they struck him with a metal object. He was treated and released at Lawrence Memorial Hospital.
Im mostly shaken up, and I got some bruises and sore spots, he said.
Douglas County Sheriffs Officials are classifying the case as an aggravated battery. They wouldnt say exactly where the incident happened, citing the ongoing investigation
The sheriffs department is looking for the suspects, described as two white males between ages 30 and 40, one wearing a red visor and wool gloves, and both wearing jeans. They were last seen in a large pickup truck.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 843-TIPS or the sheriffs office at 841-0007.
Mirecki recently wrote online that he planned to teach intelligent design as mythology in an upcoming course. He wrote it would be a nice slap in the big fat face of fundamentalists.
The remarks caused an uproar, Mirecki apologized, and KU announced last week the class would be canceled.
It's not smart to play with blasphemy--
"It's not smart to play with blasphemy--"
OK, so tell the "Christians" who are trying to wink at this behavior to stop blaspheming.
Bush: "Hey Cheney. There's that major league a-hole from the Religious Studies Department at KU."
Cheney: "Yeah, Big Time."
Bush: "Let's mess'im up."
Well, you can't claim that nobody tried to help you.
You left out John Ashcroft--
If this is anything like the usual leftist "attack", he probably fell down the stairs at home and decided to make up a "hate crime" to go along with his bruises.
Oh, come on. Why is everyone being so grave and reserved? Doesn't anyone see the irony in this smart@$$ getting a "nice slap in [his] big fat face"?
"Well, you can't claim that nobody tried to help you."
Gosh, you don't get upset at your co-religionists who endorse this sort of behavior, you just get upset at me.
I guess Christianity is, at its heart, as much a religion of peace as that other religion of peace we keep hearing about...and, like that other religion, they don't like being reminded of that fact.
Damn. Never even got a chance to read his posts. Well, he's going up on the wall tonight.
Fine. But you have yet to point out any case where I've advocated violence against bubble-headed ideologues. Don't you prefer to have evidence to support your delusion?
Count me in as well. Poof!
(Bet DU is gleefully reading this thread)
So you advocate physical violence against those with whom you disagree?
Out of the mouth of babes . . .
Spare me the sanctimonious drama nonsense Pale, read my first post carefully.
This punk HIRED someone to pound him. Got it? That is my take on his suspiciously timed "attack". 15 minutes of fame for this burning out story.
Similar to the fraud professor at Claremont College who slashed her tires and sprayed epithets on her car for sympathy two years ago. Hand wringing leftists fawned over this creature for weeks until the truth was made known.
Cool Revelations screen name though.
Note how they rejoice with DU--the chief agenda of the evos is chipping away at GOP alliances and working for the defeat of conservatives.
Now, you know this for a fact? Mirecki hired someone to do this?
Only two people would know--Mirecki and the person he hired.
How much did he pay you?
I hear Wal-Mart has a special on red baseball hats and wool gloves. Time to stock up!
There is a great 2 minute SNL type of skit in there somewhere.
There needs to be a conservative version of Saturday Night Live with skits like that. Ann Coulter as the 1st guest.
Maybe it was a couple of angels wrestling with him, the way an angel wrestled with Jacob?
" . . . Now I see no purpose to be gained by beating him up."
I fully agree.
My suspects:
1. The professor himself faked the attack, as has been shown time and again or
2. The kind of "christian" who blows up abortion clincs, who do exist, alas (which was my point -- not common, but existant).
The hypocrisy of your comment is equivalent to Ted Kennedy railing against drunken driving. The stench from your Christian bashing threads can be smelt several websites away.
Who Would Jesus Mug?
Yeah, it's hard to understand why people aren't more sympathetic to a guy who has complete contempt for them.
Who wants to take bets that this turns out to be phony?

I'll take a 100 on phony
The morally superior grant themselves a hasty exit after stinking up the place with self-righteous indignation. From the standpoint of matter in motion it isn't as though they have a leg to stand on in the first place. Talk about hollow indictments!
Yes, praise JAY-SUS, God sent his own angels down to beat up a godless heathen!
Yes, sir, you'd better walk the straight-and-narrow, theologically speaking, or the new, improved RoboGod will make you pay right here, right now, Amen, HALLELUJAH!
Maybe He can branch out into protection rackets.
Moneychangers at the temple?
He may already be...the way he wrote indicated he has been here before.
No, but I can appreciate irony.
One of 2 things happened here
A. He was beaten up by someone who had another agenda with him but used this as an excuse or attempt to steer guilt away from themselves
B. He got someone to beat him up so he could use this as a PR ploy.
My beg is, it's the latter.
What for? Just in case its not a hoax and you can do some good old fundamentalist Christian bashing yourself?
Yup, the all-new First FReeper Church.
"Every knee shall bow, especially after we send Vinnie and Rocko out to break the heathen ones!"
Sucker bet..
I'm going to reprint part of my last post and capitalize some relevant wording for you since you AGAIN missed what I wrote.
That is MY TAKE on his suspiciously timed "attack".
My = mine....belongs to me.
Take = in the vernacular means belief or position.
"How much did he pay you?" ???????
LOL!!!!! keep up the sanctimonious little tool-type lecturing Pale.
We'll likely cross again.
Funny; my blog post is almost done, and I have about 90% overlap...
"That is MY TAKE on his suspiciously timed "attack". "
You indicated that, if your take is wrong, you'd still insist that it was fact.
Concentrate, Pale.
On every word.
BTW, people who ally themselves with the communist ACLU in Kansas, Dover Pa, Georgia, etc and cheer the elections of democrat school boards shouldn't be making guilt by association arguments. But I have noticed hypocrisy is not a deterrent to most of the evo fundamentalists here.
I must add, however, that if this already indiscreet guy somehow did fake the encounter -- which I doubt -- he's thoroughly discredited.
####Who wants to take bets that this turns out to be phony?####
It could certainly be phony. There's plenty of precedent for it among lefties such as Mirecki. However, to be fair, it could also be legitimate. Mirecki may be a hypocrite and a kook, but that shouldn't merit a beating.
If this happened, I see no grounds to equate their actions with those of the Prince of Peace.
"If this happened, I see no grounds to equate their actions with those of the Prince of Peace."
Come on, this is the First Church of Free Republic! The new creed: "Every knee shall bow, even if we have to break 'em ourselves..."

Donna Edwards on Abortion
Proponent's Argument for voting Yes:
[Rep. Fortenberry, R-NE]: Americans deserve to know how the government spends their money, and they are right to refuse the use of their tax dollars for highly controversial activities--in this case, abortion. Abortion harms women. It takes the lives of children, and it allows a man to escape his responsibility. The abortion industry many times profits from all of this pain. We can and must do better as a society, and at a minimum, taxpayer dollars should not be involved. This issue has manifested itself most intently during the health care debate. Unless a prohibition is enacted, taxpayers will fund abortion under the framework of the new health care law. Abortion is not health care.
Opponent's Argument for voting No:
[Rep. Louise Slaughter, D-NY]: H.R. 3 is actually dangerous for women's health. By refusing to provide any exceptions to women who are facing serious health conditions--cancer, heart or whatever that may be--you are forcing women to choose to risk their health or to risk bankruptcy, and I think that is morally unacceptable. Under H.R. 3, a woman facing cancer who needs to terminate a pregnancy in order to live might have to go into debt over the $10,000 that the legal and necessary procedure could cost. Despite having both health insurance and tax-preferred savings accounts, this bill would prevent her from having that.
Military Access to Reproductive Care and Health for Military Women Act or the MARCH for Military Women Act - Amends the prohibition on using funds available to the Department of Defense (DOD) to perform abortions by adding an exception for cases where the pregnancy is the result of rape or incest. (Current law provides an exception only where the life of the mother would be endangered if the fetus were carried to term.) Repeals a statutory restriction on using a medical treatment facility or other facility of the DOD to perform an abortion.
[Explanatory note from campusprogress.org "Military Reproductive Rights Bill", 7/5/11]:
Currently, the health coverage U.S. servicewomen have doesn't cover abortion, even in the case of rape or incest. U.S. servicewomen are also not permitted to use their own money to pay for an abortion at a military hospital. Military women stationed abroad are most affected by this regulation, as they would be forced to seek abortion services at foreign hospitals, which may be unsafe, or request permission from a supervisor to leave the country, which forces them to divulge that they are seeking an abortion. Most other American women who receive health care from the government but are not in the service can receive abortions in the case of rape, incest, or to the save the life of the mother. The MARCH for Military Women Act would give servicewomen coverage for abortion in the case of rape or incest and allow them to use their own funds for abortion at a U.S. military facility. NARAL Pro-Choice America and Planned Parenthood are among many organizations that support this legislation.
Congressional summary:: Women's Health Protection Act: makes the following limitations concerning abortion services unlawful and prohibits their imposition or application by any government:
Opponent's argument against (Live Action News): This is Roe v. Wade on steroids. The bill is problematic from the very beginning. Its first finding addresses "women's ability to participate equally"; many have rejected this claim that women need abortion in order to be equal to men, or that they need to be like men at all. The sponsors of this pro-abortion bill also seem to feel that pro-life bills have had their time in this country, and that we must now turn back to abortion. The bill also demonstrates that its proponents have likely not even bothered attempting to understand the laws they are seeking to undo, considering that such laws are in place to regulate abortion in order to make it safer. Those who feel that abortion is best left up for the states to decide will also find this bill problematic with its overreach. Sadly, the bill also uses the Fourteenth Amendment to justify abortion, as the Supreme Court did, even though in actuality it would make much more sense to protect the lives of unborn Americans.

your garden — where you can spend a little or a lot
It is the simpler life that many of us wish to acquire these days, thanks much to the economy.
There are many things that can come out of this for the good, in that many of us in that returning or turning to the simpler things are finding ourselves back to a place where we can find the most comfortable places. In this, the garden, in any which way or form, is one of these places.
We generally speak of gardening in terms of days gone by. For gardening, in some form or another, has been here much longer then most of us have been present on the planet. Everyone, everywhere can garden to some degree.
Where else can you spend just a little or a lot, depending on your own personal level of satisfaction with your garden and your own requirements? In my own case, I need to have those things that are not necessary for any real reason other then pleasing to the eye. This would, of course be the flower gardens that I keep.
The wonderful detail about perennial beds is that once they are in and established, they are there basically forevermore.
And, even better, as the plants grow, you can share from these same gardens with fellow gardeners, established or new to gardening, for very little. This is a nice way to share in your very own bounty of "candy" for the eyes. Then, on the more practical side of gardening, are the vegetable gardens and orchards that many of us depend on for food or to add to our own personal food shelf for the winter. This year, in particular, with the continuing wild weather we had for so long, I was very delighted to get what I did from our vegetable garden.
It didn't look very promising from the very beginning of the season and was a continued struggle throughout the whole growing year. I know that there are many who also shared this same struggle with myself and my family. We are eternally thankful for those who shared what extra they did have from their own vegetable garden with us as I know from many stories that there were others who were honored to receive similar gifts of produce.
Subsequently, the people who are out there sustaining one another, not only with their own contributions whether it be sharing from their produce garden or providing a few flowers to help someone start a new perennial bed, are promoting much more then they realize. They are promoting communal enjoyment of something that is so simple, yet so satisfying.
"For the hay and the corn and the wheat that is reaped, For the labor well done, and the barns that are heaped, For the sun and the dew and the sweet honeycomb, For the rose and the song and the harvest brought home – Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving!
For the trade and the skill and the wealth in our land, For the cunning and strength of the workingman's hand, For the good that our artists and poets have taught, For the friendship that hope and affection have brought – Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving!
For the homes that with purest affection are blest, For the season of plenty and well-deserved rest, For our country extending from sea unto sea; The land that is known as the 'Land of the Free' -Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving!"

|Illustration II : Isle of Cuba [Cortez Expedition]. Engraving. From Histoire de la Conquete du Mexique by Anotonio de Solis y Rivadeneyra, 1691. LC-USZ62-3011. #6595.
California's contact with Europeans began in the mid 1530s when Cortez's men ventured to Baja California. Not until 1542 did Spaniards sail north to Alta California, and Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo's expedition of that year made landings as far north as modern Santa Barbara.
Still, more than two hundred years passed before Spain made any concerted effort to colonize the coastal regions Cabrillo claimed for the crown. Coastal winds and currents made the voyage north difficult, and Spanish captains failed to find safe harbors for their crafts. Baja California became the northwest limit of Spanish colonization, and even there, efforts to settle the area and bring native tribes to Christianity and European ways were halfhearted at best. Not until the Seven Years War (1756-1763) realigned European alliances and their colonial empires did Spain seriously attempt to assert control of Alta California.
This was to be done through a combination of military forts (presidios) and mission churches overseen by Franciscan fathers led by Junípero Serra. In 1769, the first parties set north from Baja California, and the line of Spanish settlement along the coast was inaugurated when soldiers and priests established a presidio and mission church at San Diego. By the end of the Spanish colonial period, Alta California had three more presidios (at Monterey, San Francisco, and Santa Barbara) and no fewer than twenty-one missions. In addition to the missions, where the Franciscans ministered to local converts, and the military presidios, small towns or pueblos sprang up. The earliest of these were associated with the missions and presidios, but in 1777 an independent civil pueblo was created at San Jose, and others followed. The pueblos tried to attract settlers with land grants and other inducements and were governed by an alcalde (a combination of a judge and a mayor) assisted by a council called the ayuntamiento.

July 11, 2011 WIC Update
SUBJECT 1: Old & New WIC Food List Distribution and Effective Date
SUBJECT 2: St. Louis City WIC Agencies Partnering in CDC Developmental Milestones Pilot
SUBJECT 3: WIC Invoicing System Webinars
Old and New WIC Food List Distribution and Effective Date: Please see the attached guidelines for the old and new Missouri WIC Approved food lists. Please share with your staff and advise participants NOT to use the new food lists until October 1, 2011. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Takako Tagami at firstname.lastname@example.com. (ONE ATTACHMENT)
St. Louis City WIC Agencies Partnering in CDC Developmental Milestones Pilot: Beginning July 1, WIC clinics in St. Louis City will be implementing an innovative pilot program designed to increase parents' understanding of their children's developmental milestones. Built on the theme of "Learn the Signs. Act Early", this public awareness campaign focuses on recognizing the warning signs of developmental delays so that children can be diagnosed earlier. Research shows that early diagnosis and treatment for developmental disorders greatly improve a child's ability to thrive.
WIC's partner in the project is the University of Missouri Thompson Center for Autism and Neurodevelopmental Disorders. The project is funded through a grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The MU Thompson Center is one of four organizations nationwide selected for this two-year project.
"This program fits very neatly into the WIC model and reinforces our existing practices of watching for potential developmental delays and referring families to their primary care providers for assessment," says Eva Obirek, Nutritionist III. "We are excited to work with the MU Thompson Center on this pilot program."
WIC clerks and nutritionists in the St. Louis City area will work with parents at each certification using a set of age-specific checklists to track their children's development and will refer parents with concerns to their children's primary care providers for follow-up. Each WIC site will feature colorful, child-friendly graphics that have been custom-designed for the St. Louis City WIC program. Families will be surrounded by the warm, friendly images and messages of the "Learn the Signs. Act Early." campaign each time they enter the WIC clinics. If you have any questions, please contact Eva Obirek at firstname.lastname@example.com.
WIC Invoicing System Webinars: New training webinars have been developed for LWP WIC Invoice users to learn step-by-step procedures to submit the WIC Invoice. There are 20 brief, separate webinar modules that give in-depth instructions for completing the monthly WIC Invoice and each accompanying worksheet A-E; the Special Fundings; the ACR; and the Budget Adjustment. You may view one module or all webinar modules at your convenience. The webinars may be found online. Click the link for the section you would like to view.We welcome suggestions to improve the webinars. Please contact Laura Weiler, 573-526-7901 or email at email@example.com

Interactive Travel Map | Text the Secretary AnswersToday, Secretary Clinton met with U.K. Foreign Secretary David Miliband at Carlton Gardens in London. Following their meeting, Secretary Clinton said:"[F]irst, let me just underscore how grateful I am for this opportunity to reaffirm the historic importance of the special relationship between our two countries. I have many fond memories of this beautiful city from visits over the years. And I remember well something that one of my personal heroines, Eleanor Roosevelt, said back in 1942, when she had come to visit both American and British troops, including her own son. And she spoke of that special bond that is formed between nations when their ideals and objectives coincide. That is still the case today. And both our ideals and our objectives on a broad range of challenges and opportunities that we see in the world give us the chance to continue to forge a better future for the people of our two countries.
The international agenda is broad and deep. And the United States and the United Kingdom are partners, working to advance our shared values on every front, from rebuilding the world economy, to combating climate change and fighting hunger, to facing down the threats of nuclear proliferation and violent extremism, to helping advance a comprehensive peace in the Middle East. We stand shoulder to shoulder in the effort to build a global architecture of cooperation, and to develop the partnerships that are needed to meet these global challenges.
So, as the foreign secretary said, we have had a wide ranging discussion today, but we have had many such discussions over the last nine months, my tenure as Secretary of State.
British leadership was pivotal in the run up to the historic Security Council session chaired by President Obama that unanimously adopted Resolution 1887, and committed us to work toward a world without nuclear weapons. British leadership is important to the P5 Plus 1 process, as we work together to press the world's great concerns about Iran's nuclear programs.
We agree that the P5 Plus 1 meeting in Geneva was a constructive beginning. But it must be followed by action. Words are not enough. And we are speaking with a single voice, and delivering a clear message to Iran: The international community will not wait indefinitely for evidence that Iran is prepared to live up to its international obligations.
We also had an opportunity to discuss the ongoing review of our overall efforts, both civilian and military, in Afghanistan and Pakistan. I again expressed my admiration for the incredible courage and commitment of the British troops who are serving in Afghanistan. We are deeply grateful for their service, and we honor their sacrifice. And both of our nations are committed to the cause in Afghanistan.
We understand how difficult this is, but we have no doubt that we must be both committed, and demonstrate leadership necessary to achieve our goals. At the same time, we are working to support the democratically elected government of Pakistan in its efforts to confront violent extremism, and to assist the people whose lives have been disrupted by that conflict. We want to help the Pakistani people and their government improve in the delivery of services. We share the same goals for the region that is affected by so much violent extremism, mainly, a peaceful and prosperous future for the people who live there.
And finally, as the foreign secretary said, we discussed the peace process in Northern Ireland, where I will be traveling later today. This remains an issue of great importance for both of our countries, and we are committed to seeing the full implementation of the Good Friday agreement, and a lasting peace in Northern Ireland that brings the benefits of peace to the people.
We always have a full agenda. We never have enough time to discuss everything that is on our minds. But it is a personal pleasure for me to be working with Secretary Miliband. So I thank you again for hosting me today, and I look forward to the work ahead."
Following Secretary Clinton's remarks, she and Foreign Secretary Miliband spoke with the press about Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran. Read their full remarks or more about Secretary Clinton's trip to Europe.
Mamtha in Washington, DC writes:
Thanks Madame Secretary. Please keep up the good work. We know your travel schedule is incredibly hectic and the agenda is full. This is hard work and you are doing this very well.
I saw your and Sec. of Defense Bob Gates joint interview today. I wonder if all this travel is to get allied troops for Afganistan. I know U.S. alone will not be able to support the surge requested and I wonder if Mrs Clinton is pushing this as a main part of her agenda.
Petey writes:
Great article. I am also grateful of the British troops in helping out in these countries. God Bless them
Elaine in Massachusetts writes:
Unfortunately, the historic special relationship has been dented in my view after having my human rights violated with a succession of private court hearings in a libel claim. I was defamed across the British press and have had extreme difficulty getting justice and a right of reply.
This is being done to protect and pacify the Danish partner of one of the richest men in England. With all due respect to our British cousins, the values we share are sadly not being reflected in my court proceedings.
If human rights cannot be respected by our closest ally, what hope do we have in the advancement of human rights with the rest of the world?
Normita in California writes:
Secretary Clinton, you are not only the ultimate U.S. diplomat, but you also represent the free world in spreading partnership, and cooperation between countries.
Thank you for taking the leadership in the many challenges the world is facing everyday.
God bless you and God bless America and the people you touch in your journey.

3 Things You Should Know About Small Business: June 25
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- What's happening in small business today?
1. What small businesses should know about the possible outcomes of the health-care ruling. The Supreme Court ruling on the constitutionality of President Obama's health care reform should be out this week. Besides upholding the law, there are three options that could be ruled by the Supreme Court: striking against the individual mandate, striking the mandate and its associated insurance reforms, or invalidating the entire law, according to The Washington Post .
Overturning the whole law would mean that small businesses will be back to where they were in 2009: there will be no federal requirement to offer affordable coverage and costs will rise as restrictions on premiums and medical loss ratios as well as tax credits will likely go away, the article says.
If only the mandate is repealed, "look for private insurance availability to dry up," the article says.
If the mandate and other insurance reforms are struck down but other changes remain, there could be some provisions that will benefit consumers and businesses over the long term, but it is unlikely they would improve insurance costs, according to The Washington Post article.
2. Water bill "drowns" Las Vegas bar. A Las Vegas bar that's more than 20 years old is being forced to shut its doors later this week over its water bill, according to Fox Business .
A new pricing structure by the Southern Nevada Water Authority is causing Larry's Hideaway in Las Vegas to pay more than $400 a month for its water bill, the last straw for the tiny bar that's already been hurt by the poor economy.
Nevada was one of the worst hit areas of the housing crisis. And due to the lack of growth over the past seven years, the water authority has seen a "drastic" drop in revenue for fees associated with new buildings, according to the article. Apparently the answer is to collect more from commercial buildings, rather than residents.
3. Twitter tips for small-business owners. Once you've got the basics of social media engagement covered, what's the next step? Here are five "can't miss" Twitter tips from Mashable.

New York Power Authority Chief Cites Need for Strong Reliability Standards
January 29, 2004
TORONTO–New York Power Authority Chairman Louis P. Ciminelli said here Thursday that "putting mandatory, enforceable standards in place on an international basis" is essential to resolving the reliability challenges that led to last August's blackout in Ontario and the Northeastern and Midwestern United States.
"It is undeniably true that competition and deregulation have put increased strains on a power system that was not designed to carry large amounts of electricity over long distances," Ciminelli said at a Conference Board of Canada program.
"However," he said, "the blackout was due not to deregulation, but to a combination of human error, computer and communication problems and, most important, the absence of mandatory and enforceable reliability standards."
Ciminelli said the blackout, which began in Ohio, had shown that problems can quickly spread between states and across the international border.
As a result, he said, "there have been calls in Canada for increased emphasis on an east-west domestic grid as opposed to the north-south ties to the United States."
"But," he added, "we must not retreat into a form of protectionism in electricity trade that would run counter to both our history and our best interests. And we must not permit the blackout to provide a rationale for reversing efforts on both sides of the border to create competitive, restructured electricity markets."
Ciminelli said that participants in the North American electricity markets must acknowledge that deregulation and the greater flow of electricity between different areas have created new reliability challenges.
He pointed out that the North American Electric Reliability Council (NERC) had established voluntary reliability standards in the wake of the 1965 blackout in much the same area as the 2003 power failure.
But voluntary standards are not good enough, he said, noting that there were 444 violations of NERC's rules in 2002 alone and that the U.S.-Canada Task Force that analyzed last August's blackout cited six that contributed directly to the problems.
Ciminelli noted that a comprehensive energy bill, thus far stalled in the U.S. Senate, would provide for establishment and enforcement of mandatory national standards.
"Once the situation is settled in the U.S., it should be feasible to devise a single set of standards that are truly international in scope," he said.
Ciminelli noted a number of other initiatives that could improve reliability, including encouraging membership in regional or state transmission organizations with clear operational authority; siting new power plants closer to consumers; implementing technological improvements to the transmission system; building new transmission lines in selected areas; and promoting energy efficiency.
He said maximum benefits to Canada and the United States will result from mandatory standards and other improvements only if the strong spirit of cooperation between the two countries continues in planning and operating a North American power grid "that functions without regard to international borders."
"Fortunately, this spirit of cooperation is very much in keeping with the history and traditions of our two countries," said Ciminelli, who noted that the Power Authority and Ontario Hydro joined forces in the 1950s to build a large hydroelectric project on the St. Lawrence River.
He cited the words on a monument at the center of the project's power dam: "This stone bears witness to the common purpose of two nations whose frontiers are the frontiers of friendship, whose ways are the ways of freedom, and whose works are the works of peace."
