The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

B&T keeps my son out of the hospital
My son is a severe asthmatic and every year we had to go to the hospital for at least an over night stay, usually by ambulance. Ever since trying this on him we haven't had a trip there. If he shows signs of a bronchial infection I start him on the more severe cough instructions. I don't wait until he is coushing until he throws up. I recommend this med to everyone I know that has asthmatic children. Great Poduct!!

Universal Avionics Unveils UniLink Software Update
[Avionics Today March 14, 2014] Universal Avionics announced Software Control Number (SCN) 31.0 for its UniLink UL-800/801 Communications Management Unit (CMU) at the Aircraft Electronics Association (AEA) convention in Nashville, Tenn.

SCN 31.0 provides UniLink operators with the necessary Controller-Pilot Data Link Communications (CPDLC) capability to meet Eurocontrol's Link 2000+ Program mandate requirements. The update supports the Aeronautical Telecommunications Network (ATN) Baseline 1 (B1) Controller-Pilot Data Link Communications (CPDLC) and Context Management (CM) functions which are the core of Link 2000+ compliance, according to Universal.
"Since Future Air Navigation System (FANS) 1/A messaging cannot be accommodated in Link 2000+ airspace, SCN 31.0 also features FANS/ATN CPDLC message harmonization," Universal said in a statement.

G.R.;A number of years ago we developed a process to help newbies open the dough into pizza skins with a much more consistent cross section thickness. We have demonstrated that we can train a total novice (someone who has never opened a dough ball into a pizza skin) in about 15-minutes in the "art" of opening dough into pizza skins. The procedure is simple, but as you have noted, it does require the use of a sheeter/dough roller. Using the sheeter, set the rolls to open the dough to about 2/3 of the desired finished diameter, then finish opening the dough by hand to the final size. Works like a charm! At A.J's here in Manhattan, Kansas we are constantly training K-State students to work at the dough bench so we are always training someone. That 15-minute time might even be a little on the long side. We typically run the dough twice through the sheeter to get a round shape of the correct diameter, we pre-sheet about 6 dough pieces and stack them up next to the sheeter, then we start bench stretching to finished size. For appearances, we finish with a hand toss.If you want to learn more about pizza production we have our annual Practical Production Technology and Innovation course coming up October 28 - November 1, 2013. To get information on this course please send an e-mail to Jeff Zeak at <[email protected]> .Tom Lehmann/The Dough Doctor

When Intel Corp. last quarter said that it would delay mass production of the next-generation code-named Broadwell microprocessors, it was expected that the new chips will become available only in late 2014. However, a new piece of information indicates that the world's largest chipmaker may start to roll-out Broadwell chips as early as in the third quarter of 2014.
The decision to postpone mass production of Broadwell was conditioned not only by slow demand for personal computers in general and microprocessors in particular, but also by yields that were below Intel's comfortable level.
"We continue to make progress with the industry's first 14nm manufacturing process and our second generation 3D transistors. Broadwell, the first product on 14nm is up and running as we demonstrated at Intel Developer Forum, last month. While we are comfortable with where we are at with yields, from a timing standpoint, we are about a quarter behind our projections. As a result, we are now planning to begin production in the first quarter of next year. It was simply a defect density issue," said Brian Krzanich, chief executive officer of Intel, back in October.
Shortly after Intel made its official announcement, slides from the company's roadmap made it to the Internet and revealed that the chip giant only plans to start rolling-out its mainstream Broadwell microprocessors for desktops and laptops only in late Q4 2014.
Nonetheless, according to KitGuru web-site, Intel will begin to introduce various chips based on the Broadwell micro-architecture starting from Q3 2014. In case the information about release of select Broadwell chips in the third quarter is correct, then the first actual products (mainboards, notebooks, desktops, etc.) featuring the new chips will show up at the forthcoming Computex Taipei 2014 trade-show in early June. As a result, it will be logical to expect them to arrive by back-to-school (BTS) season.
Intel's forthcoming Broadwell micro-architecture resembles existing Haswell micro-architecture, but contains a number of tweaks aimed to improve performance and boost battery life. Since the new chips will be made using thinner process technology, it is logical to expect higher energy-efficiency and/or additional clock-speed potential.
Unfortunately, the roll-out of Broadwell is expected to be relatively slow and Intel's main force for this year will continue to central processing units based on the Haswell micro-architecture, including those that belong to Haswell- refresh family.
Intel did not comment on the news-story.

Architect Klein Dytham's Undercover Lab Tokyo
Contributing Monkie Julia Ocean
Topics of Interest Modern Design, Tokyo
Published on November 19, 2011
Section Architecture / Interior Design
Everyone knows space in Tokyo Japan is a rare thing and when you find a little, you don't dare waste any of it. Space was obviously one of the inspirations for Architect Klein Dytham when he designed his Undercover Lab. A floating black box which seems to hover over the back alleys of Tokyo.
Undercover Lab is a building, which is undercover. Not only is it tucked away in the back streets of Harajuku but the site is also very deceiving. A 10m long narrow driveway leads to a 12m x 12m site at the rear.
The building houses a studio, press showroom, and office. A 20m long hanger rail to show the entire collection of one season was required. This is housed in a black tube running along the only 20m straight line on the site, which extends out over the entrance driveway. This cantilevered tube extends the building's influence to the main street in a strong but stealth way.
The tube was made to look as anonymous as possible, almost like a shipping container where you have no idea of its contents. The tube also conjures up images of telescopes etc, which give the building a mysterious feel _ nobody knowing what quite is going on inside. So much so that some people may feel intimidated just walking under the tube if they are unannounced.

Many dogs tend to follow their owners from room to room or prefer to stay by their side while they are at home. Although being loyal and attentive are positive traits that many dogs possess, some develop unhealthy forms of attachment that aren't good for pet health and do not create a positive living situation for either dog or human.
According to Modern Dog Magazine, many dogs show mild signs of being anxious or upset when their owners leave the house without them. However, if this anxiety is severe when a pet is left alone or if a pet exhibits anxiety when their owner is home but in a different room, this can be a problem.
The publication reports that if the behavior has just started, owners should bring their dog to the veterinarian health clinic for a full physical. Many times, dogs that show sudden behavioral changes or an increased "neediness" may be responding to a physical ailment.
Once illness or injury is ruled out, owners should start to enforce alone time for their dog. The magazine suggests setting up an area in the home that is filled with its favorite chew toys, a dog bed and soothing music from a CD. Offering this environment will show the dog that being alone is not scary or a punishment.
According to VCA Animal Hospitals, if a dog is displaying anxious behaviors before its family members leave it alone in the house, owners should try creating a more specific daily routine that incorporates scheduled times for attention (such as time in the morning to play fetch, or eating breakfast together), followed by scheduled times when the owner is in the house but the pet gets no attention. During this time a pet should be allowed to play with their own toys and have access to a limited number of treats. It is important that owners learn to ignore bad behaviors their dog may use to get their attention as they are heading out the door. Owners should also not overly praise their dog or give too exaggerated of a welcome when they return home.

The Kinsey Institute welcomes recent additions to our archives from four women who have made an impact in sexology as we know it today, and who are still active contributors in the field. These women have had a substantial impact on how womens and mens sexuality is researched and understood, helping to guide the research questions, and challenging ingrained attitudes and ideas. Their contributions to the KI library are helping create a living and breathing archive, to reflect sexuality studies and advancements in our knowledge today, and for future scholars tomorrow.
Leonore Tiefer's multi-faceted career as scientist and activist, researcher and educator, therapist and author has led her from animal laboratories to health clinics, from the classroom to the newsroom and finally to the streets to advocate against the medicalization of female sexuality. Concerned about the role of pharma in sexology in the 1990s, Dr. Tiefer convened the New View Campaign to raise awareness of potential professional conflicts of interest in pharmaceutical initiatives, and to challenge the notion of sexual variability as a disease or a disorder.
Through political and scholarly work, Tiefer and her colleagues assert that female sexual problems "should not be in the hands of reductionist research and marketing programs of the pharmaceutical industry, but rather should be treated by research and services that are driven by women's own needs and sexual realities."[1] She is currently Associate Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at both New York University School of Medicine and Albert Einstein College of Medicine and has a private psychotherapy and sex therapy practice in Manhattan.
Dr. Pepper Schwartz, sociologist, sexologist, columnist, and professional matchmaker is best known for her research on sexuality and couples. She has written extensively on her studies of both homo- and hetero-sexual intimate relationships. In addition, she has served as an expert witness on many important trials, including "Don't Ask, Don't Tell and in the Hawaii gay marriage trial. She has developed the Perfectmatch.com Duet Personality Profiler used by internet dating services to successfully match adults seeking long-term relationships. She has also been appointed as the AARP's sex, love and relationship expert and as their Ambassador for these issues as they apply to men and women over 45. and the Centers for Sexuality (and the National Sexuality Resource Center) and winner of the American Sociological Association's award for Public Understanding of Sociology.
Dr. Schwartz is the author of over 50 academic articles and sixteen books, including American Couples, The Great Sex Weekend and Prime: Adventures and Advice on Sex, Love, and the Sensual Years, and has contributed to many publications including The New York Times, Sexual Health and Psychology Today. She is currently Shrag professor of Sociology at The University of Washington in Seattle.
Elaine Hatfield is considered the scholar who pioneered scientific study of passionate love and sexual desire. Earning her Ph.D. in psychology and receiving many prestigious grants throughout her career, Hatfield experienced first-hand the consequences of government incursion in scientific research. In 1975, after receiving a grant from the National Science Foundation to study passionate love, Dr. Hatfield's research was hurled into the spotlight by Senator William Proxmire (D-Wisc.), who accused her research of being a gross misuse of government funding. Proxmire launched an aggressive (and successful) campaign to revoke Hatfields funding, bestowing upon her the Golden Fleece Award given for the most outrageous examples of federal waste.
Despite this notoriety, Hatfield's research paved the way for the scholarly study of intimacy and pleasure. Her books, A New Look at Love (1979) and Mirror, Mirror: The Importance of Looks in Everyday Life (1986) were awarded the American-Psychological Foundation's National Media Award for the best books in psychology. She is past president of the Society for the Scientific Study of Sexuality, and is currently a professor of Psychology at the University of Hawaii.
Beverly Whipple, whose many credentials include PhD, RN, FAAN, professor Emeritus at Rutgers University, certified sexuality educator, certified sexuality counselor, certified sex researcher, and certified sexologist, made a name for herself by publishing research, naming and popularizing the woman's G-spot. Her co-authored The G Spot and Other Discoveries About Human Sexuality (1982 and 2005) has been translated into 19 languages.
She has since established herself as a leading expert in womens health issues and sexual health. According to Whipple, the brain and its relation to the nervous system is more important to experiencing sexual pleasure than physical anatomy.
Some of her recent work, presented in The Science of Orgasm (2006, with co-authors Barry Komisaruk and Carlos Beyer-Flores) explores the complex biological processes involved in sexual response, suggesting that even women with complete spinal cord injuries can experience orgasm. She has co-authored 7 books. The latest is The Orgasm Answer Guide, published in 2010 by Johns Hopkins University Press, and over 170 research articles and book chapters.
Dr. Whipple was named by the New Scientist as one of the 50 most influential scientists in the world (one of only 4 women so honored). She continues to be very actively retired, with ongoing efforts to research, publish, and travel widely to share her expertise on womens sexual health. Dr. Whipple is the only person who has been president of both AASECT and SSSS, and she has served on the Executive Committee of the World Association for Sexual Health for 12 years.

here is some negative feedback1)making a good pizza is about presentation as well.....the pizza should be close to being perfect circle (you might not care but i do 2) why is it so thick? thats alot of chewing on bread my freind..why not make a pizza with a thinner crust?
Addicted,Your pie looks marvelous. How long did it take you to get to that point of excellence? If you have a picture of a cross section and the bottom that would help with comments. It also looks real heavy. What is that white stuff on the peel? Did you incorporate the puff method? How heavy of a pie before the puff method doesn't work?
Addicted,Is the barley malt you are using the diastatic malt--which comes in a dry form as opposed to barley malt syrup (which is non-diastatic)?Peter
D.C. Pizza Master,Americans respect tradition, even in Italian pizza making, but they rarely feel bound by it. They don't mind change. In fact, they welcome it. Pizzas that are not round, that is, of irregular shape, are viewed as being more homemade, rustic, charming and with more character. Famous restaurants like Al Forno in Providence and Pepe's in New Haven proudly feature pizzas that are of irregular shape. Pat Bruno, a writer for PizzaToday, in an article a couple of years ago, predicted that the trend in pizza shapes was as follows:"The shape of pizza. Look for more pies to be rectangular or oval in shape.It doesn't hurt to show something a little different now and then. (In one of my pizza books I have a pizza with a hole in the middle; it never caught on, but who knows?). Also, you might want to think `pie are square.' A lot of pizza places in Italy do pizza ai metre, or pizza by the meter, since it is cut into a length determined by the eater. Something to think about."Peter
D.C. Pizza Master,I took no offense nor was any intended on my part.When I started the serious study of pizza making--after I had discovered 00 flour--many of my early pizzas were Neapolitan style pizzas, using the best and most authentic ingredients I could find. Later I became aware of other styles of pizzas that I had heard about but knew little about making. I have always viewed Neapolitan style pizzas as being a separate species of pizza, and not to be compared with other types, much like a parent doesn't favor one child over another (at least not openly). I like Neapolitan pizzas and the Italian history and culture behind them, and we all owe a debt of gratitude to those who left Italy to come to the United States to plant the seeds of the pizza industry in the United States. But that still leaves a lot of room for other alternatives and, if there is anything that Americans excel at, it is creating choices, not only in pizzas but almost every other field imaginable.Peter
Friz,Yes, you are correct. Malt comes in diastatic and non-diastatic forms and in wet and dry forms. What Addicted has appears to be the dry non-diastatic form. That makes it primarily a sweetener that feeds the yeast, and adds flavor and color to the crust. It doesn't provide additional alpha-amylase enzyme performance, Peter
your a very knowledgable guy and i respect thatbut im italian and i learned how to make pizza in italy....pizza in italy is at an advanced stage then in the USA...so anything i say is not to offend..but to share the knowledge of a culture who is more advanced in the creation of pizza then in the USA

Music for String Quartet by Matthew MalskyPosted by Adam Gustafson in CD Review, tags: CD Review, electronics, Matthew Malsky, QX, String quartet
This release combines three recent program pieces by Clark University's Matthew Malsky, performed by the Boston-based string quartet QX.
Lacan (2007) "for string quartet with electronic sounds" is Malsky's take on a medium reified by Steve Reich's Different Trains (1988). Like Reich's composition, Malsky's incorporates recorded speech and is built around a historical-political program. Unlike Reich's, though, Malsky's is free-wheeling and whimsical (with a touch of cynicism)–successfully evoking, in his own words, "the sound of vivid dreams, inspired by a mix of half-heard news reports and other thoughts bouncing around my unconscious." The QX Quartet keeps up admirably with a rhythmically challenging score, injecting humor into each glissando, tremolo and pizzicato.
Although the string writing is characteristically rhetorical–sometimes in a four-way conversation or debate and at other times in homophonic declamation–it rarely bears a readily apparent relation to the spoken words of the electronic track. The electronics feature snippets of political figures "posturing" (Malsky's word) on the fifth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, interspersed with recordings from that same day in the composer's own life. (At one point, we hear the composer talking with his children about dandelions, broccoli, and brussel spouts.) In contrast to Different Trains, whose rhythm and tonal shape is informed at every turn by spoken words, the quartet in Lacan seems to comment on or around the public and private speech without reacting to it directly. In some places, the electronics seem merely incidental to the strings. A tighter relationship between the two would have been more aesthetically satisfying, but perhaps less dream-like.
The one-movement work is an arc divided into seven sections, framed by a question and answer posed to and given by the psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan. But don't listen too carefully for discrete parts. The piece carries its dream conceit through to the end, playing on liminal states of wakefulness and the blending of disparate speech-influenced dreams. Twice, the strings break into an unexpected tango before morphing back into the more abstract forms that characterize the piece.
The highlight of the disc is Malsky's Berlin, Symphony of a Great City (2009), his anachronistic accompaniment to a 1920's silent film of the same title. You can watch it with music here, but the Malsky's score stands alone well thanks to its quasi-minimalist construction. Several micro-motifs interact in a charming whole: Rippling water at the beginning of the film inspires a two-note oscillation; an arpeggiated triad traces the grandeur of its buildings; a driving mollosic meter (strong-strong-strong) suggesting the city's mechanization–its locomotives and factories–but shifts into antibacchic meter (strong-strong-weak) to depict the heartbeat of Berlin's citizens. QX renders with feeling and precision the human and mechanical elements that make this piece a success.
The disc ends with Valley of Dying Stars (2003), which Malsky describes as a "literal but wordless setting of T.S. Eliot's 'The Hollow Men.'" To this listener, the music gets too caught up in its program to succeed musically. It lacks the somewhat more self-evident structure of Lacan and the transparency of Berlin. The piece nevertheless keeps one's attention all the way to its anticlimactic "whimper" of an ending, thanks to rich phrasing and rhetorical pathos inspired by the poem and convincingly conveyed by QX.

We have stayed at Surf Song many times in the past and have enjoyed our stay, but this year we stayed in unit 344 and we were somewhat dissapointed. The carpeting was dirty and old and needs replacement. The kitchen range and microwave were old, probably the original ones that were installed. Two of the chairs on the patio were missing plastic straps on the seats. The toilet and vanity seemed new but again the bathtub was probably the original one installed.
With the exception of the items noted above, we like the location of Surf Song and we will rent here in the future.

We enjoyed a wonderful week at the Surf Song. We had always stayed a few blocks down the beach and had been coming to Madeira Beach for 40+ years. Our former home away from home sold out to large condo's and we were not sure where to stay. I had found the Surf Song on the internet and had emailed several correspondences back and forth with the managers. My 87 year old father was coming with us and we were looking for a place with a short walk to the beach, close to John's Pass (we like the boardwalk music) and a smaller place with not so many visitors. The Surf Song was perfect. The managers were extremely helpful and friendly and we found out that there are several families from Indiana that come yearly at the same time to all visit.
The only trouble we did have was that several children (who come yearly) purposely got the elevator stuck by placing an orange in the elevator door. My father had to climb up and down three flights of stairs during our visit until the elevator could be fixed. He has heart trouble so it was extremely scary for him to get so short winded while climbing. We were afraid he would suffer a heart attack. All was fixed and we were back to enjoying ourselves in the beautiful Florida sunshine.
I would highly recommend Surf Song and we are hopeful to be able to return next year.

Oak Brook, Ill. (July 25, 2008) - Friday, at the Junior Olympic Skills Competition in Chicago, McDonald's along with U.S. Olympic wrestler Patricia Miranda announced the selection of five children to represent the U.S. as McDonald's Champion Kids. Kamaile Aluli from Hauula, Hawaii and Abigail Muesse from Winder, Georgia will travel to Beijing to experience the 2008 Olympic Games, joining 200 other McDonald's Champion Kids from around the world. Chisu Edwards (Morristown, NJ), Cameron Loftis (San Jose, CA) and Emily McGuire (Broken Arrow, OK) will be treated to an exclusive tour of the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
"I'm amazed by the participants today and their embodiment of the Olympic ideals of mind, body and spirit," said Miranda, the first America woman in Olympic history to receive a medal in women's wrestling. "As an Olympian, I know the excitement these kids will experience as they visit either Beijing and the Olympic Village or the U.S. Olympic Training Center."
Kamaile Aluli, Abigail Muesse, Chisu Edwards, Cameron Loftis and Emily McGuire were selected to be McDonald's Champion Kids through their involvement in the McDonald's-sponsored Junior Olympic Skills Competition and submission of a 100 to 200 word essay on what makes someone a champion. Essays were reviewed by a judging panel of McDonald's executives and were judged based on creativity, composition and overall theme.
The McDonald's Champion Kids program was created as part of the company's commitment to children's well-being. In addition to engaging young people in activities that encourage sport, fitness and fun, the program provides children with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that celebrates their accomplishments both on and off the court.
"For forty years, McDonald's has proudly partnered with the Olympic Games, and each year, we continually strive to create programs that capture the Games' unique spirit, personally engage our consumers worldwide and promote the Olympic ideals," said John Lewicki, U.S. Marketing Director. "We are honored to give this special opportunity to the five children involved in the U.S. McDonald's Champion Kids program, all of whom exemplify the values of sportsmanship and teamwork."
Beyond the McDonald's Champion Kids program, McDonald's has activated additional elements to demonstrate their commitment to the Games:
McDonald's is the Official Restaurant of the Olympic Games, with four locations at the Games serving favorite McDonald's menu items alongside international menu items.
McDonald's Champion Crew will feature 1,400 best-of-the-best McDonald's restaurant employees from around the world - three from the United States - to serve the world's best athletes, as well as coaches, officials, media and spectators at the Olympic Games restaurants. To celebrate their skills and the shared Olympic ideals of excellence, teamwork and being the best, a special Big Mac® building competition will take place where McDonald's will award their first "medals" of the Games.
Packaging in McDonald's restaurants feature U.S. Olympians Tyson Gay (track and field), Shawn Johnson (gymnastics), Donny Robinson (BMX racing), Ryan Lochte (swimming), Dwight Howard (basketball), Patricia Miranda (wrestling), Melanie Roach (weightlifting), Tatyana McFadden (Wheelchair racing) and Marlon Shirley (paralympic track athlete) to inspire kids.
FacetheGlory.com, a U.S. consumer web site launching August 5, will give consumers the opportunity to upload their face onto an Olympian's body as they participate in various athletic activities, providing a fun, interactive experience for kids and adults.

These lip balms are some of the most moisturizing I have ever used. The effects last for hours without having to constantly reapply. My only problem is that I find them a little hard, but if you pop it in your pocket for a couple of hours and let it melt the texture improves greatly and stays that way. The Lemonade scent is a bit mild, but nice and tangy.

Topic: Faster Search Query
Hey Folks,
Really looking for some advise on how you would tackle this problem. I am building a hotel room search system. So basically a user can come to the site and search for available room's for a given area, city etc.
Doing the search based on location or facilities is not a problem but only showing available rooms is. A room would already have multiple future bookings so basically a bunch of blackout dates. A good example of what I mean would be like the airbnb site. You can search for properties and give checking-checkout dates. It will then only show you the available rooms.
While I don't think the query wouldn't be that bad I can see it being slow when you have 1000's of blackouts across many rooms.
Can you suggest any good workarounds for performance ie using other technologies like redis, elasticsearch? If so how can you explain how you would achieve such a thing.
Really hope someone can advice and thanks for your time.

Paul Crête Montmagny—L'Islet—Kamouraska—Rivière-du-Loup, QC
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to speak about the proposed free trade agreement with Switzerland, Norway, Liechtenstein and Iceland, the members of the European Free Trade Association. I am speaking on behalf of all the Bloc members and would like to acknowledge in particular the contributions of the members for Sherbrooke and Berthier—Maskinongé to the Standing Committee on International Trade, which has studied the proposed agreement and the free trade agreement.
The Bloc believes that this is a good free trade agreement that deserves to be supported. Moreover, we believe that Quebec will benefit a great deal from this agreement.
For example, the pharmaceutical industry in Quebec, like the industry in Switzerland, is very healthy. We can therefore expedite trade and perhaps pave the way for more and more transactions. To penetrate the American market, Swiss pharmaceutical companies might be tempted to produce drugs here, which presents an attractive opportunity for us.
We would remind this House that Quebec is the home of the brand name drug industry in Canada because of its pool of skilled researchers and its tax breaks. For Quebec this agreement will pave the way for new business opportunities.
The agreement facilitates trade between a company and its subsidiaries and is likely to mean new investments in the pharmaceutical industry in Quebec. That is good news.
Let us turn our attention now to Norway. Nickel accounts for over 80% of our exports to that country. The largest mine in Canada and the third largest in the world is owned by the Swiss company Xstrata and is located in Ungava. This agreement may also have benefits on that front.
Let us continue our tour of the countries with a stop in Iceland. Aluminum is our main export to Iceland. Aluminum production is also concentrated in Quebec.
Overall, this is an attractive agreement. I would also say it does not have the same drawbacks as previous agreements.
For example, NAFTA and the agreements with Costa Rica and Chile all contain what could be called bad clauses on investments that give companies the right to sue a government that adopts measures that would reduce their profits. This sort of provision is not found in the agreement with the EFTA. Consequently, the free trade agreement with Europe, at least this part of Europe, is worthwhile. There will be no sword of Damocles hanging over our heads, because this agreement does not contain any such clauses.
Furthermore, the agreement only covers goods and not services. It will not create competition with public services, whether they are offered by the state or not, since they will not be covered. Similarly, banks providing financial services will not be in competition with Switzerland, which is known to have a very solid and very discreet banking system, and Liechtenstein, which is a true haven for the financial world when it comes to taxation and anonymity. We are already having enough problems with Barbados without adding any more. It would be best if the agreement did not allow this type of exchange.
For government procurement it is the same thing. The government is still free to favour domestic procurement, subject to the WTO agreement on government contracts. It would be somewhat ridiculous for the government to negotiate room to manoeuvre and then decide not to use it. It is imperative that the federal government, which is the largest purchaser of goods and services in Canada, favour suppliers here and consider the potential spinoffs from its purchases.
We have another absolutely ridiculous example. Canadian athletes will be dressed in material that is made in China. There should have been a different solution. We could call this an obvious and quite unacceptable lack of pride. This is outside the limits of the agreement before us, but I wanted to mention it anyway. When we look at an agreement like this, we have to look at what it will allow us to do. This agreement does not allow for such an absurd possibility.
The whole issue of agriculture is a concern that a number of MPs have mentioned in this House. Supply management is not affected by this agreement. The Bloc Québécois motion passed here in 2005 has become the cornerstone of the Canadian government's position on protecting supply management. We are very proud of that and we hope things will continue this way.
We are just as proud of the fact that the supply management model is being developed throughout the southern countries. It may be part of the solution to the food crisis. The more countries that use this type of system, the less agriculture will be subjected to traditional trade patterns. Thus, it will be possible to provide better protection that will allow both communities and producers to be well served in terms of agricultural production.
This agreement ensures that supply management will not be affected. That is another reason that the Bloc Québécois likes this agreement.
This agreement will make it possible to implement bilateral agricultural agreements as add-ons to the free trade agreement. We will see how this will come together. Bilateral agreements will not necessarily have a huge impact on Quebec agriculture, because milk proteins are excluded from the agreement and the tariff quotas and over-quota tariffs remain unchanged. In short, supply managed products will be protected.
However, there is one sector where this agreement would be good, although the federal government will really have to go out of its way to make a sustained effort. I am talking about the issue of support for shipyards. A number of members in this House have brought this up this morning. As a member of the maritime caucus, I know that there have been questions. They have been handled in an acceptable fashion in the agreement, but that does not mean that the Canadian government will not have to have a more aggressive and constructive policy on shipyards. In fact, we have some concerns.
For example, imported vessels are currently subject to a 25% tariff. Under the agreement, these tariffs will gradually decrease over three years, and will be completely eliminated in 15 years. In the future, in 15 or 20 years, we do not want to see a whole industrial sector disappear, as was the case with the textile sector. We know that the government needs to take action now to ensure that once this all disappears, our industries in this sector will be competitive.
Our shipyards are currently less modern than Norwegian shipyards, for example. They are in worse condition. So some things will need to be renewed, since Norway has invested heavily in modernizing its shipyards, while ours have been completely abandoned by the government.

Centennial Festivities
Statements By Members
May 9th, 2008 / 10:55 a.m.
Carol Skelton Saskatoon—Rosetown—Biggar, SK
Mr. Speaker, I am inviting you to come to Saskatchewan and experience some of Canada's rich heritage by joining the towns of Asquith and Delisle in celebrating their centennial in July.
English settlers named their town after Lord Asquith who called it the centre of the British Empire and presented a silver cup that Lord Asquith School proudly uses to this day.
Delisle took its name from its first postmaster, John Amos Delisle. Twenty-six of his direct descendants will come back to celebrate 100 years. Delisle is also the hometown of NHL legends Max and Doug Bentley.
The CPR and the CNR made these early settlements flourish. Today, agriculture and potash mining are their economic mainstays. Asquith and Delisle are also commuter suburbs of Saskatoon, the Paris of the Prairies.
Visit Saskatchewan and enjoy the history, beauty and warm hometown hospitality during Asquith's and Delisle's centennial festivities.
Government Policies
Statements By Members
11 a.m.
Lui Temelkovski Oak Ridges—Markham, ON
Mr. Speaker, the Conservative government has really failed to live up to its promises.
Remember when health care was one of the five priorities of the government? No? That is all right, neither does the government.
Remember when the Prime Minister said the Conservative government would not monkey around with income trusts? It would be unfair to seniors, the Conservatives said. Well, they did not just monkey around with them, they ripped them apart like King Kong with a biplane.
There is one area where the government has overachieved, one area where the Conservatives are performing at a level beyond anything seen in Ottawa since the days of, well, Brian Mulroney. This is one more area where the government is going to surpass the achievements of Brian Mulroney. Mulroney was thrown out of office after two elections. The current government will get it done in one.
TQS Network
Statements By Members
11 a.m.
Robert Bouchard Chicoutimi—Le Fjord, QC
Mr. Speaker, Remstar would like to purchase TQS. As part of its demolition plan, the company announced its intention to dismiss 270 of its 479 full-time employees. In Saguenay—Lac-Saint-Jean, 36 out of 40 jobs will disappear between now and the fall.
Closing the newsroom is a breach of the commitments the TQS network made to the CRTC. The sale of TQS should not come at any cost, and certainly not at the cost of eliminating regional news services. In Saguenay—Lac-Saint-Jean alone, TQS produces five programs that reflect our regional reality.
The Bloc Québécois is an ardent advocate of TQS services. Eliminating the newsroom would be a major blow to the diversity of information available to Quebeckers.
I hope that all political parties in the House will defend the interests of the Quebec nation before the CRTC.
Nuclear Non-Proliferation
Statements By Members
11 a.m.
Alexa McDonough Halifax, NS
Mr. Speaker, the Conservative government has once again gone out of its way to embarrass itself on the international stage. This time it is the nuclear non-proliferation treaty preparatory committee meetings in Geneva.
While the rest of the world attempted to take a more constructive approach to the challenges of nuclear non-proliferation, the Canadian government delegation stood almost alone, hurling accusations at Iran and North Korea, ignoring the fact that supposed non-NPT states like India, Pakistan and Israel have acquired nuclear weapons as well.
This is tragic and it is dangerous. Canada is blessed with world-leading civil society experts who have helped form our nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation policies. Thanks to them, Canada has been known as a world leader in this area.
Disgracefully, for the first time at the nuclear non-proliferation treaty preparatory committee, the Canadian delegation did not include a single NGO participant.
These days when Canada speaks, the world shakes its head. The government is destroying our international reputation and undermining the global fight against nuclear proliferation.
Barbara Ann Scott
Statements By Members
11 a.m.
Royal Galipeau Ottawa—Orléans, ON
Mr. Speaker, today I invite this House and all Canadians to celebrate the 80th birthday of Barbara Ann Scott, a Canadian figure skating icon.
From Ottawa's Minto Skating Club, where my daughter and her Capital Blades team also skated, Barbara Ann had a stunning career. She began winning national awards when she was 11 years old. She was the first woman to perform the double Lutz in competition.
In 1948, she competed on an outdoor rink during the winter games in Saint-Moritz, Switzerland, becoming the first Canadian to win a gold medal for figure skating. To this day, she is the only woman who has done that.
A hundred thousand people lined the streets of Ottawa to acclaim her.
She has been an inspiration for generations, including my daughter, Miriam.
Happy birthday, Barbara Ann Scott King.
Canada loves you.
Madawaska UCT Council 830
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Jean-Claude D'Amours Madawaska—Restigouche, NB
Mr. Speaker, on April 12, I had the opportunity to participate in the Madawaska UCT Council 830's 50th anniversary celebration.
I would like to begin by telling the House about the dedication of UCT councils to their communities across Canada. There is no doubt that UCT councils' commitment and contributions to numerous communities promote both community and social development.
The Madawaska UCT Council 830 is no exception, and that is why I wanted to salute it here today. The Madawaska Council 830 is very active, and its contribution makes its community a better place in which to live.
I would like to thank the founding members who were honoured during this event: Paul E. LeBlanc, Armand Couturier, Yvon T. Cloutier, the late J. Germain Fournier, Robert T. Martin and Alphé Thibodeau.
Thank you and congratulations to all members of the UCT for their good work.

Deepak Obhrai Calgary East, AB
Mr. Speaker, it is time for the Burmese dictatorship to stop playing politics when people's lives are at stake. We are alarmed by the reports that the military junta is seizing international aid shipments from the World Food Programme. This is unprecedented and must stop. This dictatorial regime's response to this disaster is just the most recent example of its failure to meet the basic needs of the Burmese people.
Canada stands ready to help. We have pledged $2 million in aid. We have offered our disaster assistance response team. The Minister of Foreign Affairs personally assured the UN Secretary-General that Canada is there for the Burmese people.
The military junta must let aid agencies do their work and allow international aid workers to enter the country during this period of crisis. Given the widespread and devastating effect of the tropical cyclone Nargis, Canada calls upon the military junta to focus on meeting the immediate needs of the people rather than pursuing its own narrow interests.
Cluster Bombs
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Claude Bachand Saint-Jean, QC
Mr. Speaker, on May 19, 2008, the international community will gather in Dublin in order to adopt a declaration to ban cluster bombs.
Cluster bombs are known for being dangerous and they endanger the lives of civilians across the globe. According to Handicap International, 98% of victims are civilians.
While dozens of countries will attend this international meeting, this government is not even sending the Minister of Foreign Affairs to the conference. Instead, it is sending junior representatives who can only take notes and who will not even be able to offer real financial support.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs has the opportunity to show his support for the security and protection of millions of civilians and set an example for China, Russia and the United States. He must take advantage of this opportunity.
Budget Implementation Act, 2008
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Chris Warkentin Peace River, AB
Mr. Speaker, it is time to pass Bill C-50, this year's first budget implementation bill. Every day constituents are calling and writing asking when Parliament will approve this important legislation.
Constituents know that included in this bill are measures to implement the landmark tax-free savings account. While some politicians might think the best place for taxpayers' hard-earned money is in government coffers, this Conservative government believes that it is better to stay where it belongs, and that is in the hands of hard-working Canadians.
The tax-free savings account would allow Canadians to place $5,000 into a sheltered account and then watch their money grow tax free without the tax collector ever being able to put his hands on it again. Simply put, this is the best thing that has happened to the tax system since the RRSP.
Canadians want Parliament to act before summer. I am asking all members of Parliament to support the important measures in this bill. Let us make Parliament work and give Canadians the tax-free savings account before summer.
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Michael Savage Dartmouth—Cole Harbour, NS
Mr. Speaker, Cathy Buckle is a Canadian in Zimbabwe who is witnessing the atrocities in that country. Her words are very powerful. I would like to read an excerpt from a recent posting:
What a disgraceful insult these 2008 elections have become to the people of Zimbabwe who have suffered so much....
Every day the reports of horror continue to emerge. Youngsters in uniform going door to door in villages at night; men with guns; beatings, house burnings and torture....Listed amongst the people murdered is a five year old boy.... This little boy, too young to read or write and a complete innocent in this month of hell, burnt to death in a house set on fire during the rampage of political vengeance that is tearing our country apart.
As each day has passed since the elections, Zimbabwe has drawn quieter and quieter - silenced by fear. No one knows who to trust, who they can talk to or who might be listening....
The world has learned the lesson of staying silent when human rights are trampled. The people of Zimbabwe need Canada and the world to listen to their voices and to take action now.
Bloc Québécois
Statements By Members
11:10 a.m.
Sylvie Boucher Beauport—Limoilou, QC
Mr. Speaker, if the success of the Bloc can be measured by the brevity of its mandate in Parliament, as Lucien Bouchard so aptly put it, clearly, after 18 years, those members have really failed. Yet they have cost Canadian taxpayers $300 million. Their ineffectiveness is well known, since nearly half of the 116 members elected for that party have never introduced a single bill. Among such members are the members for Laurier—Sainte-Marie and Bas-Richelieu—Nicolet—Bécancour.
Since the Conservative government won the confidence of Canadians, the Bloc has introduced only 29 private members' bills. Not one of them has received royal assent. This negligence is a stark contrast to the results obtained by this government.
To be present means to be in a position to take real action, solve problems and deliver the goods. To be absent means being a Bloc Québécois member in Ottawa.
International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement
Statements By Members
11:10 a.m.
Paul Dewar Ottawa Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. With the dedication of up to 97 million volunteers worldwide, Red Cross and Red Crescent have honoured their mandate to protect human life and health, ensure respect for human beings and prevent human suffering. The movement has provided its services to every corner of the world without discrimination.
The current crisis in Burma reminds us of the importance of this movement. Organizations like the International Red Cross and Red Crescent have already been able to provide aid to those affected by this devastating cyclone.
Yesterday we celebrated World Red Cross Red Crescent Day in the House with words; today we call for action. Canadians from coast to coast to coast want our government to finally meet its international commitment to dedicate the equivalent of .7% of our GDP to aid so that organizations like the Red Cross can contribute to do their important work.

Bears Safety Chris Harris loves Twitter, football fans, and Chicago, so yesterday he and Sun-Times Reporter Sean Jensen decided to combine all three in a tour of the city. Along the way, the duo bowled, test drove an Audi, had lunch at a local spot, and interacted with fans and Twitter throughout the day.
Chris is a fan of The Chicago Mix, so naturally Garrett Popcorn had to be a stop in his tour of Chicago. Chris and Sean swung by Garrett Popcorn at the Merchandise Mart and handed out gift cards for free popcorn to fans. One lucky fan walked away with an autographed Chicago Bears Tin filled with The Chicago Mix.
If you want to see more about their "Twitter Tour", watch the video of their adventures here. There are also more photos on the Garrett Popcorn Facebook page.
Thanks, Chris & Sean, for making Garrett Popcorn part of your day!
On Twitter, you can find Chris at @ChrisHarrisNFL, Sean at @skjensen, and Garrett Popcorn @GarrettPopcorn.
UPDATE: More "behind the scenes" from the tour in this article.

Not much good to say about the NCAA by me, but they just took a step up in my eyes.
I've known John since little league days. He's a great dude from a great family. His dad is the old man I hunt with a hundred times a year and who I consider a second father since mine died in '93.
Best part is he'll be much closer in Indy. He'll be able to make it up for occasional weekend so I can watch him mishandle his shotgun every single time he puts it up to his shoulder.
Some folks on the board know him. They'd agree the NCAA did well here.

Specialty Retailers
Hearth product retailers offer a wide selection of fireplaces, stoves, inserts and accessories to fit any home and any style, however, planning and installing hearth products and their venting systems requires experience, technical knowledge and skill. Numerous decisions – from proper floor protection to appliance sizing and placement to venting system compatibility and height – should all be made with the expertise of a specialist.
One of the ways to identify a competent specialist is to check their credentials. The National Fireplace Institute®, an independent, non-profit certification agency, has created the standard for certification in the fireplace and stove industry. Only those who pass a rigorous examination covering fundamentals of proper installation receive NFI Specialist Certification.
Don't take chances. HPBA recommends that you find a hearth specialty retailer that has a National Fireplace Institute® certified installer on staff. Only those who pass a rigorous examination covering fundamentals of proper installation receive NFI Specialist certification.
Looking for warmth, romance and satisfaction – a hearth specialty retailer can offer you a complete hearth package, perfect for your home, patio or outdoor living room. Mantels, glass doors, tool sets and grates are just some of the products for one-stop shopping to match your home's decor.
Find a specialty retailer near you or a service company to inspect your fireplace and chimney.

Greetings earthlings!
We're currently located in Los Angeles, California in the heart of Hollywood. Sunset blvd, 34° N, 118°W, in a building at The Crossroads of The World and we have finally begun recording our second full-length album with producer Shaun Lopez (Deftones, Far, Crosses). Also on board is Executive Producer Andrew Dawson (Kayne West, Lil Wayne). We always feel at home and the most inspired in LA, so inevitably we were drawn back here to find the perfect place with the right vibes to create this record. So here we are in an old set of cottage style bungalows, with the 1930's still lingering around in the air. It's insanely perfect for us. This past year we have been hugely influenced by retro-futurism, vintage outer space, and oddball classic movie soundtracks.

Today, September 17, the Norton Museum of Art unveils its latest lobby mural, heralding the start of a new cultural season in West Palm Beach. Conceived and completed by New York-artist Mickalene Thomas, this site-specific mural measures about 770 square feet and is the third to be featured in the Norton's lobby.
Thomas, who was born in 1971 and educated at the Pratt Institute and Yale University, is best known for her figurative drawings featuring deconstructed photographic elements. Cheryl Brutvan, the director of curatorial affairs and curator of contemporary art at the Norton, notes that the museum has welcomed Thomas' work before; her painting "You're Gonna Give Me the Love I Need" appeared in the Norton's 2011 exhibition entitled Now WHAT? But, as Brutvan points out, the eclectic nature of that work left a few question marks as to what she would create this time around.
"Some staff members were asking me 'Is she going to be putting rhinestones on it?'" Brutvan says.
|The mural in progress in the Norton's lobby. Photo by Tom Brodigan.
There are no rhinestones, sequins or glitter in Thomas' mural, entitled "Faux Real." Like many artists, she was inspired by nature's beauty. For Thomas, however, naturally occurring landscapes were just a jumping-off point. While on residency in Giverny—Monet's legendary French home and studio—she became entranced with the estate's landscape as well as Monet's manipulation of it within his paintings.
"I really responded to him as an artist and to how he created his own artifices," Thomas says.
Since then, Thomas has been cultivating a catalogue of landscape photographs from a variety of locations including Florida, Arizona and the Hudson River Valley. She then creates collages by manipulating slivers of her photos like puzzle pieces. In the Norton mural, she juxtaposes these elements, which are printed on vinyl, with other mediums such as oil paints and markers, as well as contact paper. This technique is reminiscent of Thomas' most well-known pieces. The scale, however, sets it apart.
"I wanted viewers to have the same experience as if they were standing in front of one of my paintings," she says.
|The completed mural, entitled "Faux Real." Photo by Tom Brodigan.
This is the first large-scale mural she has created outside of New York, but it conveys a strong sense of place. From the faux contact paneling (which harps to fake materials, such as formica and granite, used in home remodeling) to the images of swampy flora and ocean swells, the work is unmistakably Floridian. It takes the concept of site-specific to a whole other level.
"[For the viewer there's] an aspect of the landscape that corresponds to who they are or where they're from," she says.
Visitors to the Norton will be able to step inside Thomas' envisioned landscape through August 2014. This semi-permanent installation is a stunning and refreshing addition. The artist herself is quite pleased with the finished piece. "I feel like this is our best one yet," she says and smiles, revealing both a confidence in her work and a mouth full of braces.

Physiology Lessons - Page 2
How to Improve LT
:: Continuous LT Run: Three to six miles at LT pace (for recreational runners, 10 to 15 seconds per mile slower than 5K race pace or about 10K race pace; for trained runners, 25 to 30 seconds per mile slower than 5K race pace or 15 to 20 seconds per mile slower than 10K race pace).
:: LT Intervals: 4 x 1 mile at LT pace with one-minute rest.
:: LT-Plus Intervals: Two sets of 4 x 1000 meters at 10 seconds per mile faster than LT pace, with 45 seconds rest between intervals and two minutes rest between sets.
RE is the volume of oxygen consumed at sub-maximum speeds. There are marked differences in the amount of oxygen different runners use when running at the same speeds, which is a major factor explaining variance in running performance in runners with similar VO2max values.
RE is probably even more important than LT in determining distance-running performance, because it indicates how hard you're working in relation to your maximum ability to use oxygen. I have yet to see a runner with superior RE who does not also have a high VO2max and LT.
While many runners and coaches think RE is a reflection of running form, it is influenced more by capillaries and mitochondria, the microscopic structures that influence oxygen delivery to the muscles. Research has shown that runners who run a lot (more than 70 miles per week) tend to be more economical, possibly because of the effect high mileage has on increasing capillaries and mitochondria. High mileage may also improve RE via the commonly associated weight loss, which lowers the oxygen cost of running. A high repetition of running movements may result in better biomechanics and muscle-fiber recruitment patterns. Power training with very heavy weights and plyometrics has also been shown to improve RE through a neural mechanism.
How to improve RE
:: High mileage.
:: Heavy strength training: Three to four sets of three to five reps with greater than 85-percent of your one-rep max.
:: Plyometrics: Box jumps, squat jumps, leg bounds, bleacher hops, etc.
