What Does a Winery Chef Do?
on November 29, 2012
I thought I would use this blog as an opportunity to explain what a winery chef does. Not that I want to burst anyone's bubble, but we don't have a restaurant at the winery–though I wish we did. My job as Executive Chef is to pair food to the wonderful single-vineyard wines we produce. I take extensive notes while tasting through different wines and vintages with the winemaker, and I use that knowledge to construct locally focused, seasonal dishes that highlight particular flavors and aromas in each wine.
Every year, we add dishes to our master cookbook and then share a few of these with you throughout the year in our newsletter and on our website. Who, you ask, gets to enjoy this wonderful harmony of food and wine? All of the food for the wine club events is prepared by our in-house culinary team. Food and wine pairings, or lunch, can be arranged for private parties instead of the traditional tastings. We also support the winery with charities, promotions and sales.
I look forward to seeing you at of our wine club events (stay tuned for our 2013 event calendar), and I wish you happy holidays.
A behind-the-scenes snapshot of a video shoot I participated in this week. Look for the video–and a recipe and wine pairing–in our December newsletter!

Joseph Epstein's essay, "T.S. Eliot and the Demise of the Literary Culture," in the November issue of Commentary, strengthens the case for The Waste Land author's enduring legacy. Epstein captures the high points of Eliot's biographical and literary accomplishments in only eight pages – an admirable feat given the extent of Eliot's influence on the past century. After filling out the checklist of Eliot's early poetry, friendships, jobs, marriages, alleged anti-Semitism, and criticism by rote, Epstein concludes Eliot was a tremendous poet and literary critic more than likely destined to be forgotten due to the imminent collapse of Western culture.
One cannot help but agree with Epstein's assessment of Eliot as an erudite writer and speaker who could fill a hall with 15,000 attendees – in Minnesota, no less – eager to hear the Nobel laureate speak on literature. Epstein notes it is doubtful any writer living today could match Eliot's drawing power for a live audience. But the Internet and television render such expectations moot. For example, I don't have counts on how many people visit Web sites devoted to Seamus Heaney, another Nobel laureate poet, but one can easily imagine a number such as 15,000 boosted a hundred-fold.
Likewise, I respectfully reject Epstein's too-easy assessment of Eliot as the last of a dying breed and the end of culture. While admitting many of Epstein's concerns about the present and future cultural climate, your writer is not quite ready to throw in the towel. Call me stubborn, foolish or naïve. But I witness culture thriving on a daily basis, from the glorious Gilead by Marilynne Robinson to the agrarian short stories, novels and poetry of Wendell Berry.
Let readers recall as well Eliot knew that our literary tradition evolved, subsuming all that was best from preceding generations as well as what was once considered avant-garde. It's easy to dismiss contemporary culture simply because there's so much Cracker Jack to riffle through before finding the prize.
Depicting Eliot as nothing more than a literary high-brow, in any event, misses the totality of a fascinating individual who boasted of his correspondence with Julius Henry Marx – the inimitable middle sibling Groucho of the Marx Brothers and You Bet Your Life television legend – and a English Music Hall regular who would have been more than likely pleased by the success of the Broadway musical Cats based on Eliot's children's book, Ol' Possum's Book of Practical Cats.

Free trips usually come with strings attached
Free trips usually come with strings attached
By Attorney General Roy Cooper
"All-expenses paid tropical vacation! Round-trip tickets to the destination of your choice! Deep discounts on airfare and lodging!"
Sounds tempting, doesn't it? The summer travel season is here, and many North Carolinians are looking for ways to save on getaways. But these phone calls, emails, faxes and mailings you get promising "bargain" or "free" vacations usually come with hidden costs or fail to live up to your expectations.
Travel clubs
, which claim to provide discounts on hotel rates, airfare, cruises and car rentals to those who join, often use offers of "free" trips to promote their business. While some travel clubs are legitimate, others are not.
My office recently
took action against one travel club
that claimed people had won a free cruise or a pair of airline tickets. People went to a travel presentation at a hotel to collect their gift but instead got a high-pressure sales pitch urging them to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on a travel club membership. And their free trip turned out to be so difficult to book that most people gave up trying to use it.
Signs that a travel offer may be a scam:
You're told you've won a trip but are then asked for your credit card number or to pay a fee to redeem it
. A trip isn't free if the company or club requires you to pay or buy something to get it.
It's short on details.
Beware of phrases like "luxury cruise" and "five star hotel," which sound enticing but don't give specifics about what you'll actually be getting.
The company is operating out of a temporary location like a motel room.
If you attend a presentation in a hotel or any other place than the company's office, North Carolina law gives you three days to cancel the contract. If the contract doesn't specifically state this, don't sign up.
You're told that the offer is good today only.
Don't get pressured into making a quick decision you'll regret later.
You can't verify the vendor's name, company name, street address or phone numbers.
Make sure a company is reputable before you buy. Check with my
Consumer Protection Division
at 1-877-5-NO-SCAM toll-free within North Carolina or your local
Better Business Bureau
to see if there are complaints against the company.
Even with legitimate travel clubs, the price of the membership may cost you more than you'll save. Before you sign up, consider the following:
Find out how easy the travel membership is to use.
Many people complain that they can't get reservations when and where they want to travel. Some clubs require you to book months in advance. Many clubs don't let you request a specific location, but instead require you to give a list of places you'd be willing to visit and several options for times you would be willing to travel.
Investigate the types of places the travel club arranges for its members to stay.
Otherwise you may arrive at your destination to find the accommodations below what you expected and end up paying to stay somewhere else.
Look carefully to see if the club will really save you money.
Take into account all fees, dues and costs, and be realistic about how often you'll use the membership. Ask questions about how the company calculated these savings and don't rely just on the representations the sales agents make during the sales presentation.
Ask questions about the availability of inventory the club offers during peak vacation times.
Some clubs have large amounts of inventory during off-season travel times but have a small inventory of accommodations for prime vacation season.
Don't let the appeal of a free trip lure you into paying for something you don't want or need. To save money on
, instead look for legitimate deals online or with an established local travel agent. Or consider a vacation spot close to home this year. North Carolina offers many great places to spend your vacation. We're a year-round top tourist destination drawing millions of visitors who spend billions of dollars in our state.

Save the jobs — man isn't changing climate
To the editor:
The EPA's new regulations calling for a substantial reduction in carbon dioxide emissions from stationary power plants; 30 percent or more in some cases, is essentially worthless.
From what I gather, about 95 percent of the greenhouse gas effect comes from water vapor. Only 0.117 percent of the greenhouse effect is due to man-made atmospheric carbon dioxide,(CO2) (these figures take into account the heat retention capabilities of the gases; water vapor holds a lot more heat than CO2). If we assume 50 percent of this manmade CO2 is coming from coal fired power plants, that brings the CO2 figure down to 0.0585 percent of the total greenhouse effect worldwide from coal. If we assume the U.S.A. burns about 13 percent of the total coal being burned worldwide, the figure goes to 0.0076 percent. To me, this amount seems so puny that even the natural variability of the ocean's CO2 absorption/emission cycle rates would render the man-made CO2 figure meaningless; especially when you consider that the oceans hold 60 times more CO2 than the atmosphere, and act as a giant heat-sink storage reservoir, releasing and absorbing CO2 from the atmosphere depending on temperature differentials at the air-sea interface. As sea temperatures go up, more CO2 is released, and vise versa. So as the sun, (which pumps far more heat into the earth than man ever can) heats the oceans, we will see a great quantity of CO2 being released,- depending on cloud reflectivity and airborne particulates, etc.
Shut down every coal fired plant in the U.S.A. and you'll accomplish nothing (except destroy thousands of coal related jobs in mining, railroading and power generation).
Keep in mind also that China burns more coal than the U.S., Europe and Japan combined. And even if China stopped burning coal, we should see little or no effect on climate. However, there was one "big polluter" that did have an effect on climate; the 1815 eruption of Mt. Tambora which caused the disastrous 'Year without Summer' in 1816 in the northern hemisphere, even the snow was pink or brown in various countries.
In summary: It's the sun and ocean, and sometimes volcanoes that change climate; not man's puny efforts. No need to destroy jobs over some "politically correct" fad.

How do I register for classes?
The College of Business Advisement Center works closely with the departments during the registration process. During the pre-registration and registration period, each student must make an appointment with his/her advisor to review their selection of courses for the next semester, summer classes, or classes requested to take at another institution. Students should bring with them a course request form and a copy of their academic transcript to assure accurate advisement.
How many credit hours do I need to take to be considered full-time?
The minimum course load for full-time status is 12 credit hours per semester. A full-time student is normally expected to complete 30 credit hours of course-work each academic year (Fall, Spring and Summer terms); and must complete a minimum of 24 hours of course work each academic year to qualify for financial aid. In addition, full-time students must meet the academic regulations stated elsewhere in the University catalog.
What is considered a normal course load?
A normal load is 12-18 credit hours per semester.
What are the expectations of an academic advisor?
- Clarify the academic and administrative processes of the College of Business and the University and the nature of its academic programs to the advisee.
- Seek to understand each advisee's particular concerns affecting academic progress.
- Help the advisee to understand the expected standards of achievement and likelihood of success in certain areas of study.
- Discuss the educational and career objectives suited to the advisee's demonstrated abilities and expressed interests.
- Help the advisee to understand the relationships among the courses, programs, undergraduate research opportunities, internships, study abroad programs, and other academic experiences provided by the College of Business and the University.
- Help the advisee to plan a course of study and give advice about courses and the adjustment of course loads.
- Inform the advisee about the prerequisites for subsequent courses in the advisee's program.
- Refer advisees to other resources when appropriate - University counseling service for example.
What are the expectations of an advisee?
- Acquire the information needed to assume final responsibility for course scheduling, program planning, and the successful completion of all graduation requirements.
- Seek the academic and career information needed to meet educational goals.
- Become knowledgeable about the relevant policies, procedures, and rules of your chosen discipline, the COB, and the University.
- Be prepared with accurate information and relevant materials when contacting the advisor.
- Schedule and keep appointments with advisors at least twice semesterly.
- Consult with the advisor to decide on courses, review the accuracy of senior audits, check progress towards graduation, and discuss the suitability of other educational opportunities (scholarships, internships, study abroad, etc…)
- Maintain records and knowledge of administrative changes made during matriculation (add/drop slips, last day to drop classes, change of grade forms, transferred course information, etc…)
How do I add/drop a class?
To add/drop a class, students must complete an add/drop slip. The slip must be signed by the student's advisor and instructor. Additional signatures apply outside of the calendar-defined add/drop periods.
How do you know your student classification?
Student classification is determined by the number of credits earned. Refer to the classification schedule below.
|Credits Earned
|90 and above
Students may review their academic progress online with DegreeWorks.
What do I do if I am having academic difficulties?
If you are experiencing academic difficulties speak to your instructors and your advisor. They will be able to refer you to the various support services available on campus.
Are tutoring Services available?
The Tutoring Center is located in Room 212 of the William C. Jason Library-Learning Resource Center. The Tutoring Center offers peer tutoring in many subject areas across the curriculum by appointment or on a drop-in basis during day and evening hours. Students should fill out a request form to receive services. All tutoring is free to students. The Tutor Coordinator can be reached at (302) 857-6387.
Where do I go if I have a learning disability?
Disabilities Services is committed to helping each student pursue a chosen field of study to the full measure of his or her ability. Students with a disability are admitted through the same application process as non-disabled students. There is no special or separate admissions procedure. Admissions counselors are available to answer questions and provide recommendations. Students with documented disabilities may receive reasonable accommodations to address their particular needs. Accommodations may include, but are not limited to, reading, writing, and note taking services, removal of any structural barriers, special arrangements for exams, and tutorial services. Further information regarding support services for students with disabilities may be obtained by contacting Laura Kurtz, Room 214A, William C. Jason Library at (302) 857-6388.
What is an incomplete and how long do I have to remove the "I"?
Incomplete course work due to reasons clearly beyond the control of the student will yield the grade "I". This grade must be removed by the end of the first six weeks of the next semester of the current academic year (i.e. for fall, the next semester is spring; for spring, the next semester is fall) unless prior arrangements are made in writing with the instructor, with a copy sent to the Registrar. Otherwise the grade "I" is automatically changed to "F" by the Office of Records and Registration.
Academically suspended students who have "incompletes" may register only if they have removed the incompletes and achieved the necessary 2.00 average no later than the last day of the late registration period.
What is the process for an administrative withdrawal?
If a student, for some compelling reason (such as documented extreme personal difficulty or documented medical reason), requests to be administratively withdrawn from the University for a previous semester, then that student must follow the procedure listed below.
Administrative withdrawal from the University is rarely granted, but some students' circumstances may require it. The provost and vice president for academic affairs approve approval for administrative withdrawal from the University:
- Student must submit in writing the request for administrative withdrawal from the University, along with documentation, to the appropriate academic dean. The request must state the reason(s) for the request and specify the semester to be withdrawn.
- The dean submits his or her recommendation to the provost and vice president for academic affairs.
- If the provost and vice president for academic affairs approve the request, then the student is reported to the Office of Registration and Records as "Administratively Withdrawn" and a grade of "WA" is assigned for all courses taken during that semester. The provost and vice president for academic affairs also inform the student in writing of his/her decision.
A student who withdraws from the University on or prior to the last day to withdraw from the University will receive a grade of "W" in each course for which he/she is enrolled at that time. A student who officially withdraws from the University at any time after the last publicized date for withdrawal from the University will receive a "WA" grade in all courses for that semester.
Note: If a student has received financial aid, including a refund, from Title IV funds and completed less than 60 percent of the semester from which he/she wishes to withdraw, then that student must refund the percentage of financial aid corresponding to the percentage of the semester the student has not completed.
What is a prerequisite?
A prerequisite is a foundation course that must be completed before advancing to a higher level course.
How do I change my major?
If students are considering changing their major, they should visit the Career Services Office for help exploring other fields. Members of other departments will be happy to consult with students during office hours. Students should also discuss their options with their current academic advisor.
In order to change majors, the student must complete the "Change of Major and Declaration of Minor" form. This form can be obtained from Departmental Offices. The current and new chairpersons must sign the form. If the new major is in a different college, the Dean of the new college must also sign the form.
After all signatures have been obtained, the new Department must submit the form to the Records Office. It is the responsibility of the student to follow up and make sure the change of major is accurately displayed in their BANNER records.
What are the requirements to declare a minor?
If students are considering declaring a minor, they should visit the Career Services Office for help exploring other fields. Members of other departments will be happy to consult with students during office hours. Students should also discuss their options with their current academic advisor.
In order to declare a minor, the student must complete the "Change of Major and Declaration of Minor" form. This form can be obtained from Departmental Offices. The current and new chairpersons must sign the form. If the new minor is in a different college, the Dean of the new college must also sign the form.
After all signatures have been obtained, the new Department must submit the form to the Records Office. It is the responsibility of the student to follow up and make sure the minor is accurately displayed in their BANNER records.
How many credits do I need to satisfy my degree requirements?
The number of credits needed to satisfy degree requirements vary by major. Refer to the catalog or your curriculum to find the exact number of credits required to earn your degree.
How do I transfer classes from another institution to Delaware State University?
Classes Taken Before Attending DSU
If a student has already taken a college level course at another institution before attending DSU the Admissions Office and/or Department determine if the course fits into the student's curriculum. If a course is not equivalent to a DSU course, a Course Substitution Form could be filed if appropriate. If there is a question concerning whether or not a course can be used in the General Education Program, contact Dr. Jacqueline A. Washington, Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs/University College (302.857.7210).
Classes Taken While a DSU Student
If a student wishes to take a course at another institution, a "Student Request to Enroll in Courses at Another Institution for Transfer Credit" form must be completed before the student begins taking the course. The credit transfers, but the grade earned is NOT included in the student's GPA. If a student is trying to raise the GPA, the course must be taken at DSU. The completed form must be submitted to the Records Office. A copy is kept in the student's file.

Mohu Leaf Ultimate Indoor HDTV Antenna
About this item
Say goodbye to cable and hello to the Mohu Leaf Ultimate™! Including a top-performing signal amplifier, the Leaf Ultimate™ has optimal reception, and you can enjoy the top 20 shows for FREE in full 1080p/HD.
The Leaf Ultimate features the same incredible design as the classic Leaf, but now includes a revolutionary digital TV amplifier with a low noise figure and one-of-a-kind RF filtering. What exactly does this mean in terms of performance? It means that the Leaf Ultimate is optimized specifically for TV stations, filtering any additional RF signals that can hinder picture quality.
Performance: A surprising amount of study and engineering work went into the design of the Leaf® TV antenna. It wasn't until one of our engineers decided to convert from cable television to over-the-air broadcasting that we realized that there were no high performance antennas on the market. The Leaf® Antenna was designed by experienced antenna engineers who have been designing antennas for the US military for years (see our sister company GreenWave Scientific).
USB powering option, unlike anything else. The Leaf Ultimate is powered via a USB port located on the amplifier, which allows you to power the amplifier using an open USB port on the back of your TV. The advantage of doing so is that the amplifier will only draw power when the TV is turned on, eliminating parasitic power consumption when the amplifier isn't needed. If you do not have an open USB port on the back of your TV, the Leaf Ultimate also includes a power cube that will enable you to power the amplifier using any standard AC wall outlet.

Tekne finalist
Thursday, September 20, 2012
Science Express has reached more than 45,000 students in its three years of operation.
The Minnesota High Tech Association (MHTA) has announced St. Cloud State University as a finalists for the 13th annual Tekne Awards to be awarded Nov. 1 at the Minneapolis Convention Center. St. Cloud State is among three contenders for the EdTech Award, which recognizes the development of innovative technologies that enhance teaching and learning both in and out of the classroom.
The Tekne Awards program reinforces Minnesota's place in the ecosphere of innovation. Other finalists for the EdTech Award are eLumen Collaborative of Minneapolis, and the University of Minnesota Rochester. This is the first time St. Cloud State has been a finalist for a Tekne Award.
Contending for honors is St. Cloud State's Mobile Lab Program, which includes the Science Express. In 2007, administrative and academic leaders began developing ideas to support pre-college engagement in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). Early Introduction of students to STEM disciplines is an essential component of regional economic development. The Science Express was launched in the fall of 2009 to bring high-tech, hands-on STEM experiences to central Minnesota schools.
The Science Express has been operating for 3 years and has served more than 45,000 students. The effort is expanding to include a Technology & Engineering Express, an equipment-lending program and professional development for teachers.
"MHTA is honored to showcase some of the most innovative and competitive technology-based companies in the world at the Tekne Awards," said Margaret Anderson Kelliher, president of MHTA. "Thanks to this year's finalists, Minnesota remains at the forefront of cutting-edge technological growth."
The Minnesota High Tech Association is a membership organization representing the state's technology-based economy. MHTA members are involved in technology creation, production, application and education in Minnesota. This year, 44 finalists in 15 award categories were chosen by independent judging panels.

National Defence
Oral Question Period
2:55 p.m.
Canadian Alliance
Jay Hill Prince George—Peace River, BC
Mr. Speaker, for a government that is trying so desperately to distance itself from Jean Chrétien, I do not know why this minister and this government keep re-announcing long overdue commitments that were made by the Chrétien administration last fall.
When he was chairman of the defence committee the minister said, and I quote, "...what is critically needed at this point is increases to that base budget so that funding will be sustained over the years to come".
Now that he is minister, why has he failed so miserably to convince the Prime Minister to keep his promise to provide sufficient funds for our troops?
National Defence
Oral Question Period
2:55 p.m.
David Pratt Minister of National Defence
Mr. Speaker, once again we have the opposition jumping to outlandish conclusions. The sorts of statements that I made as chairman of the defence committee are completely consistent with the statements that I have made as defence minister.
The important point to keep in mind here is as well that when I was chair of the defence committee I indicated very clearly the need for a new white paper, and the hon. member is a member of a party that supported the defence committee's report with respect to the need for a strategic plan. The hon. member cannot have it both ways.
World Water Day
Oral Question Period
2:55 p.m.
Serge Cardin Sherbrooke, QC
Mr. Speaker, Canada is the only one out of the 53 member states of the Commission on Human Rights to speak out against the recognition of water as an essential human right.
How can Canada maintain that attitude when, today, World Water Day, four organizations, including Development and Peace, have tabled a petition bearing the signatures of 177,000 people in Quebec and Canada who denounce the government's refusal to recognize access to water as an essential human right?
World Water Day
Oral Question Period
2:55 p.m.
Toronto Centre—Rosedale
Bill Graham Minister of Foreign Affairs
Mr. Speaker, we examine all proposals from the Commission on Human Rights. It is very important to know what social and economic rights people have.
But, as for everyone having a right to water, we must acknowledge that we are neighbours with a country that has its own ideas about access to water. It is Canada's role to examine this very important concept of international law in conjunction with other states. We must work together with the international community to ensure this has an actual impact and does not remain mere rhetoric, as our colleague would have it.
Liberty Mutual Insurance Company
Oral Question Period
2:55 p.m.
Janko Peric Cambridge, ON
Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of State for Financial Institutions.
Recently my constituents, Louise Brenneman, Fred Gaskin and Bob Sanders of the Canadian Association of Mutual Policyholders, expressed grave concerns about the protection of mutual policyholders' rights and entitlements with regard to the proposed sale of Liberty Mutual's insurance business.
What steps are being taken by the government to protect the rights of the 350,000-plus Canadian policyholders?
Liberty Mutual Insurance Company
Oral Question Period
3 p.m.
Denis Paradis Minister of State (Financial Institutions)
Mr. Speaker, I understand that the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions has received an application regarding the transfer of Liberty Mutual's insurance business. The proposed transfer will require the approval of the Minister of Finance.
Let me add that the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions in the assessment of the proposed transfer will analyze and will take into account the impact on Canadian policyholders.
Foreign Affairs
Oral Question Period
March 22nd, 2004 / 3 p.m.
Progressive Conservative
Joe Clark Calgary Centre, AB
Mr. Speaker, my question is for the foreign affairs minister.
The European Union has condemned the killing of Sheikh Ahmed Yassin as an extra-judicial killing. It said that in this case, the condemnation has to be even stronger than usual.
Is that also the position of the Government of Canada and if so, what action is Canada intending beyond condemnation?
Foreign Affairs
Oral Question Period
3 p.m.
Toronto Centre—Rosedale
Bill Graham Minister of Foreign Affairs
Mr. Speaker, we recognize entirely the right of Israel to take steps to protect itself and its citizens against acts of terrorism. But we have condemned the death of Sheikh Yassin because, in our view, this is a matter that is contrary to international legal obligations on behalf of the state of Israel and will contribute to instability in the area and will make peace, which we all work for so hard, more difficult to achieve.
We call upon all parties to return to the road map. We call upon a return to a concept of peace in the area. We ask for restraint on behalf of all parties in this difficult time.
RAI International
Oral Question Period
3 p.m.
Christiane Gagnon Québec, QC
Mr. Speaker, on April 7, 2003, the Italian-Canadian community made a request to the CRTC to obtain a broadcast licence for RAI International, an Italian public television channel for Italian communities abroad, which is available in 238 countries. According to Giovani Rapona, the project's promoter, the delay in the CRTC's decision can be attributed to an influential member of cabinet who would like to see this issue postponed until after the federal election.
Can the Minister of Canadian Heritage tell us whether the lack of a decision by the CRTC is linked to lobbying efforts by one of her colleagues?
RAI International
Oral Question Period
3 p.m.
Hélène Scherrer Minister of Canadian Heritage
Mr. Speaker, the hon. member knows full well that, before a foreign broadcaster such as RAI International can be distributed in Canada by cable or satellite, the CanadianRadio-television and Telecommunications Commission must first give its approval. After examining all the briefs submitted on such proposals, the CRTC will make its decision at an appropriate time.
Presence in Gallery
Oral Question Period
3 p.m.
The Speaker
I would like to draw to the attention of hon. members the presence in the gallery of 11 boys and girls, the Children's Miracle Network 2004 Champions from across the country. These youngsters have overcome life-threatening illnesses or injuries and have been chosen to represent all of the children who are treated annually by the Children's Miracle Network hospitals and foundations across Canada.
These remarkable young people are real champions who have overcome some huge obstacles in order to be with us today.
I invite you to meet them in Room 216-N for a reception after oral question period.

John Reynolds West Vancouver—Sunshine Coast, BC
Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Health during question period stated that my party did not have a website. I would like to inform him, and to make sure all Canadians are not misled, that we do. It is conservative.ca.
I can understand how he made the mistake because the other day I punched in Groupaction on the computer and up popped the Liberal Party of Canada.
Board of Internal Economy

The hon. member for West Vancouver—Sunshine Coast I note is the new House leader for the Conservative Party. I am sure he knows that this seems to be more of a debate rather than a genuine point of order.
The hon. member for Winnipeg North Centre has given the Chair notice of a question of privilege.

Office of Residential Academic Initiatives
As a partnership between the Division of Student Affairs and the Office of the Provost, the Office of Residential Academic Initiatives (ORAI) fosters a seamless undergraduate experience for students who live on campus. Along with stewardship of the residential college system and cultivation of the newer residential community model, ORAI is responsible for campus-wide initiatives that provide faculty engagement, academic programming, and academic support in all residential spaces, including traditional residence halls. These programs:
- promote interaction with faculty and academic advisers outside of classrooms and offices
- strengthen residents' sense of community and connection to Northwestern
- enrich the intellectual, cultural, and social lives of residents by cultivating lifelong habits of learning and responsibility.
Residential Colleges
More than one-third of students who live on campus reside in one of Northwestern's eleven residential colleges. In addition, many students who live in a traditional residence hall or off campus choose to affiliate as a non-residential member with a residential college. For over four decades, residential colleges have immersed students in energetic communities of peers, faculty, administrators, and graduate students. Some of the smaller residential colleges have specific themes related to academic and career areas while the largest ones are multi-thematic. Each is led by a faculty chair, a full-time faculty member who advises student leaders on the college's executive board, recruits fellows from the faculty and administration to be affiliated with the college, and helps shape the intellectual and cultural life of the college. Students routinely dine with fellows and have consistent opportunities to connect with them at more formal and informal events. While each residential college has unique traditions and organizes its own programs, the Office of Residential Academic Initiatives facilitates special offerings for members of all eleven colleges, including the funding of faculty-student research projects, residence-based seminars, and excursions around Chicago.
Residential Communities
In Northwestern's four residential communities, which approximately 1400 students call home, faculty members live amongst students. These faculty-in-residence are highly visible leaders with a steady presence during evenings and weekends, thus creating occasions for casual encounters about anything from advice about academic plans to input about programming in the residential community. Faculty-in-residence organize intellectual, cultural, and social events, many of which are held in their apartment, which is integrated into the larger residential community. They often invite colleagues to visit their residence to interact with students over meals or informal presentations, a feature that is unique to the residential community model.
Campus-Wide Initiatives
Regardless of the housing option they choose, all students who live on campus benefit from an ever-growing array of programs to enhance their Northwestern education. The Office of Residential Academic Initiatives collaborates with campus partners to bring students academic guidance and support where they want it and when they need it. For example, peer- and faculty-led study sessions for some of the largest courses on campus are offered after business hours in residential spaces in conjunction with the Math Department and the Searle Center for Advancing Learning & Teaching. To encourage students to make thoughtful choices about courses, ORAI hosts "Coming Soon to a Classroom Near You," a series of events in dining halls and residential lounges where faculty speak with students about what they will be teaching in the upcoming quarter. Other campus-wide initiatives include pop-up libraries and pre-med advising in residential spaces. These and similar programs make it easier for students to connect with academic resources for the first time, which increases the likelihood that they will seek out those resources in the future. Students can take advantage of these and many more ORAI-sponsored programs while living on campus.

Rogers City club hosts a Winter Carnival
What: Rogers City
Winter Carnival
Where: Lakeside Park
and Sports Park,
Rogers City
When: Saturday
11 a.m. to 2 p.m
ROGERS CITY – On Saturday, a Rogers City club will host some outdoor fun and games to beat the winter blahs.
The Rogers City Winter Carnival is from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Lakeside Park Pavilion, Rogers City Kiwanis Club President Mark Slown said. The organization will get help from Key Club members, along with a local Girl Scouts troop to make the carnival happen.
"It's kind of an antidote for cabin fever," he said.
Along with sledding and chicken bowling, there also will be a game called octopoppers, a sort of winter sack race where four people have to work together to walk on a sled. Other winter games are planned as well.
"We decided, as a hedge against really horrible weather, there's a little more to do at Lakeside Park," he said.
Free hot dogs, hot chocolate and coffee will be served, courtesy of the Rogers City Optimists Club, Slown said. Girl Scouts will also fix s'mores.
There will be ice skating at Sports Park, with a hay wagon to take people there and back to Lakeside Park, Slown said. Skates are available to borrow at the warming hut, and hockey goals will be there as well for impromptu games, provided the weather cooperates.
"The rink is in great shape right now," Slown said.
Of course, there will be a fire in the Pavilion's fireplace, and possibly another outside for people to warm themselves, Slown said.
Jordan Travis can be reached via email at firstname.lastname@example.com or by phone at 358-5688.

Moss Wreath with Burlap Ribbon
- Summary
This wreath adds a vibrant shot of chartreuse green to brighten any room. Clusters of reindeer moss are color-enhanced for lasting beauty and hand applied to a natural twig base, creating a massed arrangement with lush, rich texture. A large burlap ribbon is the crowning touch to this striking decoration. The moss (actually a lichen) is preserved, so no care is required. Protect from weather. For decorative use only. 17" diam. Made in Mexico. A Williams Sonoma exclusive.
- Use & Care
Care Instructions
Upon receipt, cut the cable ties on the bottom of the box and carefully remove the wreath. Our wreaths made from dried natural materials are intended for display indoors or in a sheltered outdoor area. Avoid direct sunlight and excessive heat, which will cause them to fade and become fragile. As the moss ages, it is natural for the color to darken.
It is normal for both fresh and dried materials to shed. The extra fullness of our wreaths and garland is intended to compensate for any unavoidable shedding during shipping. To minimize shedding, it is best to not move it once it has been placed. With proper care your wreath will last up to 2 years. For decorative purposes only.
- Shipping

Cramer: I Couldn't Recommend Facebook's Stock
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Lindsey Bell: Facebook(FB) reported earnings last night. They beat the quarter and mobile revenue, which a lot of analysts look at, surged. Jim, the stock is down about 5% today. What's going on?
Jim Cramer: OK. Well, first, some people were disappointed in the earnings, which are so-called down. I mean, I think, like Amazon(AMZN) , they could show much better earnings but they're spending a fortune.
Lindsey Bell: You know what, a lot of analysts downgraded it today, saying there's going to be margin pressure because they're going to spend. But if you're a growth company, don't you have to spend?
Jim Cramer: Well, this is the dichotomy. I always like to look at it in terms of holders. There are a lot of holders who are expecting, at any given time, a pop, a better-than-expected earnings
Remember, the stock went from $18 to $32 in a straight line. All it is, is back to where it was last week. I don't want to take my cue too much from the stock, but the downgrades were fatuous in the sense that they were people who clearly were upset that the company was going to spend a lot. I don't know anyone who really thought that they wouldn't spend a lot.
My bottom line on this, Lindsey, is if you're a guy who's patient and you believe that stocks have an ability to be valued in 2015, I understand why you would own it. It's not a stock I'm recommending.
Lindsey Bell: OK. Not recommending Facebook here.
Jim Cramer: No.

LONDON – In theory, the Olympic Stadium is still supposed to be off-limits to visitors, but especially to the media, because we just can't keep a secret and the last thing the organizers want is reporters spilling the beans on elements of Friday night's opening ceremony.
Being a law-abiding Canadian, I took the Olympic Park walking tour instead. Fascinating.
I arrived back at the main media centre to learn that certain anarchistic U.S. scribes, who do not respond well to herding, had simply strolled off by themselves into the stadium, past the vaunted Olympic security detail – which evidently was having an afternoon cuppa – and were pleasantly surprised to see a familiar figure on stage, singing a familiar tune.
It was Paul McCartney, rehearsing Hey Jude.
This doesn't mean he's doing it for the opening. He could be rehearsing for Julian Lennon's (gulp) 50th birthday next April (yes, the song was originally Hey Jules for John and Cynthia's boy).
But probably not.
So I missed that. But I'll see it Friday night.
Down in the dumps: The Olympic Park, of course, is built on what used to be a sort of centuries-old, impromptu landfill in East London, within sight of the modern towers of downtown, but abandoned under layer upon layer of garbage.
Our tour guide, the head of the Games' Sustainability initiative – coincidentally, his name is Dave Stubbs (not the one from The Gazette) – pointed to the magnificent, Saddledome-shaped, Olympic velodrome and said that in excavating the site, the dig discovered a Victorian street ... 30 feet down.
So think 200 hectares, 30 feet deep in industrial waste.
Some revolution: The entire area, Stubbs said, including a long stretch of the River Lee, had been used as a dumping ground since (get this) the Industrial Revolution, which began in 1750. So, 250-plus years of accumulated detritus that had to be sorted and removed, 142 million cubic metres of contaminated soil "washed," sifted, then replaced, the land surrounding the river completely recontoured and planted with mostly native foliage to become a natural filter for water run-off to the river.
The result is an urban park of wildflowers and trees, green space, a butterfly sanctuary and frog ponds, with temporary sporting venues where there's no need for post-Games facilities, and a handful of structures: the stadium, which an English Premier League soccer team will occupy; the aquatic centre, which will lose its two extensions that hold 15,000 spectators and become a community pool; the velodrome; and the athletes' village and shopping mall – as the focal points of an entirely new neighbourhood in an ancient city whose wealth is ever-so-gradually moving eastward.
Time will tell: Sustainability, mind you, is an idea every Olympic organizing committee hopes for, and advertises in its propaganda. It's only when years have passed that you find out what actually was a lasting legacy and what didn't work out. No one predicted the Montreal Olympic velodrome would become a biodome for butterflies and penguins.
And for a reported $14.9 billion, with a workforce of 200,000 that LOCOG CEO Paul Deighton estimates includes 100,000 contractors, it should be able to deliver some pretty substantial improvements to the city and environs.
Unfinished sympathy: It must be a virus that virtually all organizing committees contract, but the recurring theme of reports from venues visited so far by reporters is: "When are they planning on finishing these things?" Construction is still continuing, pipes are running over ground, and unfinished areas are hidden behind screens.
Seven years, you'd have thought, would give a modern industrial nation sufficient time to get buildings built and the plumbing done, but almost all Olympic host cities take it right down to the wire, and this one is no different.
Population overload: "We're expecting at least a million extra people in London every day during the Games, including an additional 3 million journeys on public transport," LOCOG's transport commissioner Peter Hendy said.
In addition, the Olympic route network – dedicated lanes for Olympic transportation – are to be switched on at 6 a.m. London time Wednesday.
Sounds good: The money quote Tuesday from Chris Allison, Scotland Yard's deputy commissioner of the Metropolitan Police: "Our aim is to make sure that sport takes centre stage. This is a sporting event with a security overlay, it's not a security event in which a bit of sports gets played."
He said the security plan was drawn up with the understanding of a terrorism threat level of "severe." Now it's been downgraded one tick, to "substantial."
"As to protests, our position remains very clear and simple," he said. "The right to protest is a fundamental part of our democracy, though it is a conditional right. You have to do it lawfully and peacefully, and it doesn't give you the right to stop the Games happening, it doesn't give you the right to stop an athlete who's trained four years to compete against the best in the world."
Asked how he would characterize the security force's readiness, given the revelation that LOCOG's private security contractor, G4S, failed to deliver more than 3,000 of the promised number of officers, Allison said: "I'm very satisfied that we're in a very good place. We've done all the planning, we've looked at all the ways in which terrorists have attacked in the past and we've tried to make sure that none of those could get through our security measures."
The mobilization of an additional 1,200 soldiers Tuesday to bolster security was essentially a "redundancy" measure, Deighton said.
"What's simply happened is that the private security force turned out to be not reliable and we've substituted it with the much more reliable and better trained military force. So the net outcome of this change is you end up with a better security force qualitatively."
Ask John Furlong: Deighton expressed disappointment at the security company's failure to live up to its promises, but not regret at signing the contract.
"We would love to have started off at Year Zero without a single hiccup," he said. "That is an unrealistic expectation given the scale and complexity of this project. Anybody who's been involved in putting together one of these projects will tell you it is the hardest thing anybody ever does, anywhere in the world."

Case Study Interview: Con Edison—Col Smart was developed to fulfill part of the Implementation Proposal for The National Action Plan on Demand Response, a report to Congress jointly issued by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) in June 2011. Part of that implementation proposal called for a "National Forum" on demand response to be conducted by DOE and FERC.
Given the rapid development of the demand response industry, DOE and FERC decided that a "virtual" project, convening state officials, industry representatives, members of a National Action Plan Coalition, and experts from research organizations to work together over a short, defined period to share ideas, examine barriers, and explore solutions for demand response to deliver its benefits, would be more effective than an in-person conference. Working groups were formed in the following four areas, with DOE funding to support their efforts, focusing on key demand response technical, programmatic, and policy issues:
1. Framework for evaluating the cost-effectiveness of demand response;
2. Measurement and verification for demand response resources;
3. Program design and implementation of demand response programs; and,
4. Assessment of analytical tools and methods for demand response.
Each working group has published either a final report or series of reports that summarizes its view of what remains to be done in their subject area. This document is one of those reports.

About the AU (from their website, www.au.org):Americans United for Separation of Church and State (AU) is a religious liberty watchdog group. Founded in 1947, the organization educates Americans about the importance of church-state separation in safeguarding religious freedom. AU is a nonpartisan organization dedicated to preserving the constitutional principle of church-state separation as the only way to ensure religious freedom for all Americans.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has added nine candidates to its "Red to Blue" list, a designation singling out strong campaigns in open or Republican-held districts. The list now includes two categories: targeted districts and "emerging" districts which may be targeted later.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is funding two programs [mostly via PAC-funded TV advertising] in the 2014 cycle: "Red-to-Blue" in Republican-held districts, and "Frontline" to defend Democratic-held districts.
Press Release from DCCCDemocratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chairman Steve Israel named 26 of his colleagues to the Frontline program, a committee program designed to protect their most vulnerable incumbents. "We call this program Frontline for a reason--these Members are on the vanguard of protecting and expanding the middle class," Israel said in a written statement. "While the 2014 campaign will be dominated by a strong offense taking on the Tea Party Republican Congress, our success begins with our Members," added Israel, a Democrat from New York. "These battle-tested men and women have proven time and again that they can win because no one better reflects the values of their districts."
Rep. Tim Walz, D-Minn. will spearhead the program as its chairman. He's a Frontline alumnus as recently as the 2012 cycle. Otherwise, the list includes several freshman members and Blue Dog Democrats:

Here's how RW members rated this race (201 votes).
In short: fantastic - even enjoyed the mud! But not the hill at the end! Really friendly race thank you!,lDate of review: November 8, 2009
In short: A good flattish course with good Marshall's and a nice atmosphereIn full: PB's would be very possible if you were near the front and there hadn't been rain for a while! A bit slippy in places this year. There needs to be more toilets at the start -about twice as many. Several of us nearly missed the start!The Uxbridge to Watford route is a better way round in my view-despite the walk from the station at the start.Generally a good race with good Marshall's and a good atmosphere. I'll be back. (Shame about the baggage bus nut that wasn't the race organisers fault)!Date of review: November 8, 2009
In short: The terrainDate of review: November 8, 2009
In short: Mud on the trail slow me down.Date of review: November 8, 2009
In short: Really enjoyable, lovely scenery, and fun underfootDate of review: November 8, 2009
In short: Good Race - friendly atmosphereIn full: Enjoyable race along the canal for most of the route. Tough incline at the end, but only because it was the last mile. Great comaraderie at the end between the runners.Only real issue was that the baggage van took 2 hours to get from Uxbridge to Watford leaving us standing around in the cold. Lucky the weather wasn't too bad.Date of review: November 8, 2009
In short: Really enjoyed it, running alongside the canal, was a bit slippy tho, found it more difficult to run. Needed more toilets! there were about 50 people waiting for 6 toilets! the scenery was nice, but it was the same thing the whole way through.Date of review: November 8, 2009
In short: my 4th race ever and will do it again 100%Date of review: April 27, 2009
In short: Great scenery, Great puddles and Great fun.In full: Mud and puddles made this interesting this year, if slower. Excellent break from the norm! Will be back for more.Date of review: November 16, 2008
In short: 2008 race: Bloke with the blue baseball capIn full: Well done Purple Patch - great race. Thanks to the guy with the blue baseball cap who was so encouraging!! Nice to see spectators turning up on a run like this and cheering us on.Date of review: November 14, 2008

Cleanse Detoxify The Right Way!
We live in a toxic world. We are bombarded by a whole host of toxic in the air, water, food, and even the products we use on a daily basis. These toxic weaken the immune system and disrupt healthy digestion, elimination, and detoxification. Cleansing the body is the only way to rid our system of these toxins. Naturopathic clinician Gaetano Morello, ND, teaches readers how to cleanse properly. Morello's scientific detoxification program features advice on how to do a quarterly cleanse, as well as daily cleansing. His inside-out approach to cleansing helps the whole body detoxify safely and effectively. Rather then using harsh colonics and extensive fasting, Morello teaches readers how to minimize exposure to toxins while shoring up the body's innate ability to detoxify.

I am an old hand at body cleansing and detox. This doc seems to make everything far too complicated but then, I have been following principles of food combining for 30 something years (a major source of toxic leftovers) and my colon is cleansed about every month or so and yes, I drive a car and so get some of those heavy metals from the air around me. Probably the most important place where I have consistently protected myself is to avoid all fast food, avoid all over the counter cosmetics and sundry drugs for colds, digestive upset, etc. I also do not go to doctors and therefore have not been toxified by their pharmaceuticals. And I have a very strong genetic heritage. S0o, along with good advice, it is important to make wise choices...doctors could direct some of these choices.
I was thinking that when I get this booklet, I would be buying, mixing, blending some type of drink that would cleanse and detox my body. But instead, I found that to be the opposite. It's more of a scientific approach. You cleanse and detox your body by avoiding certain foods, household cleaners, etc! Although a good and highly recommended approach, it won't be that easy for those who are always on the go!
Very Informative Booklet for Those Who Want to Detox!
