Flute World
America's #1 flute specialty house since 1983.
Mr. Powell made his first conservatory flute in 1928, called the Commercial model. Today's Conservatory models combine the aesthetics of the traditional Handmade Custom model with Powell's Posi-Stop™ tail design, and are offered with a hand cut Custom Powell headjoint. The Conservatory model is a handmade, professional quality flute. Aurumite is the unique combination of sterling silver and gold, developed by Powell in 1987, and used for Handmade flutes since then. Through a patented fusion process, Powell produces flute tubing made of interlocking layers of gold and silver. The Handmade Conservatory version of Aurumite is called "Aurumite 9K." The outer layer of the flute is 9K rose gold, which is metallurgically fused to an inner layer of sterling silver. It is not made with plating or bonding. In fact, an Aurumite 9K flute body contains 25 times more gold than a 24K gold-plated flute body, and the embouchure plate is solid 9K gold. The gold in the Aurumite 9K produces a warm and darker quality, while retaining the resonance and projection of silver.
Headjoint Cuts:Philharmonic - Philharmonic headjoint is readily identified by its broader embouchure plate, which makes it the most resistant of the styles offered by Powell. Articulation is crisp and clean, and this style is capable of broad dynamic and timbral ranges. A player can create a rich tone with extraordinary carrying power and focus.Soloist - The Soloist headjoint is the newest addition to the headjoint styles offered by Powell. This new style was developed in collaboration with renowned flutist, Ransom Wilson. The Soloist headjoint features strength and flexibility. It offers a strong sound which allows the player to fill a hall, as well as complete command for performing the quietest of passages. The embouchure plate, which is similar to the Boston style, provides the player with quick, responsive articulation while a new style of undercutting gives the headjoint its strong, full color.Venti - The name "Venti" encapsulates the concept of a headjoint that allows air to pass freely through the instrument and beyond, giving the performer variations of flexibility, dynamics, power and sound.The result is a headjoint that allows for depth of sound through all three octaves, even pitch and dynamic range, as well as a sound that is powerful without being wild or breaking up.

Posted on 03/20/2014 10:52:13 PM PDT by This Just In
Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush has not made any formal moves to indicate he will run for the GOP presidential nomination in 2016, but he is already rated as the top contender by one university, even though he does not lead in any preliminary presidential polls.
(Excerpt) Read more at breitbart.com ...
From the article:
"We now consider Bush the leader of the field if he decides to run," the University of Virginia Center for Politics's "Crystal Ball" concluded after updating its 2016 ratings."
And I'm sure UV is not a liberal university. /s
I wonder how much the Bush family paid Larry Sabato to push this crap.
Anything's possible.
I think I am hallucinating. I am not really typing right now. This is just a bad dream.
If Jeb Bush becomes the nominee we can officially declare America a 3rd world country. Two families ruling a country or having the opportunity to rule it for 7/8 elections rarely happens in 3rd world countries. Get ready to say president Hillary, Chelsea or Jenna in the near future. Only a thoroughly corrupt political process can we even imagine it. Even if one of the Bush's is uber conservative it doesn't change the conclusion.
I think I'll take what you're hallucinating on.
Let me be the first to say we don't need anymore Bushes in office.
(Barbara's actual sentiment.)
CNN/ORC International survey
Rand Paul . . . . . 16 Paul Ryan . . . . . 15 Rick Perry . . . . 11 Mike Huckabee . . . 10 Jeb Bush . . . . . 9 Chris Christie . . 8 Ted Cruz . . . . . 8 Marco Rubio . . . . 5 Rick Santorum . . . 3 other/no opinion . 15http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2014/03/16/cnn-poll-rand-paul-goes-where-his-father-never-went/
Bush isn't going to draw the conservative vote. I doubt he'll attract the undecided either.
Theyre projecting, although I do believe Jeb is considering a presidential bid. Click here:
Not the point. How many lemmings would it take to vote in Jeb as a nominee? In a fractured primary process, a small number. What does it say about a political process that the genius is seen by voters to reside exclusively in 2 families? If Jeb signed on to every conservative position espoused in this board we are still lemmings for buying into family rule.
You can expect that the establishment will huddle together and decide who is to run alone against half a dozen Tea Party candidates. And judging by 2012, the RINO candidate is going to get at least 25% of the 'moderate' Republican vote in each of the primary states. We need to amass enough votes behind one candidate to beat that comfortably.
Not necessarily true. It would depend on the other candidates. With GWB, the field didn't have much to offer. It was not a question of family rule but of candidates.
However, in this case Jeb's family is not a benefit but rather than obstacle we will not be able to overcome.
BTW, gotta love the "International" survey.
i won't be showing to the polls that day but i really am starting to believe the noise we hear about him is being orchestrated.
More than projecting, selling.
Well the whole point of projecting in this case is to sell.
So they predict the GOP loses again
Yes we do! It's the only way to defeat any Rino. We need someone with the cojones that will cut government, cut out departments, wipe out Obamacare and tackle the media when he does. The only candidate who fits this bill is Cruz.
Click through to the article and you'll see that this comes from Larry J. Sabato of the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia. Who is Larry J. Sabato?
He wants a Constitutional Convention (his words) to, among other things:
Appoint all former presidents and vice presidents to the new office of "National Senator"
Lengthen the terms of representatives from two years to three years, and set Senate terms to coincide with all presidential elections, so the entire House and Senate would be elected at the same time as the President. (say good by to diffused power)
"Universal national service"
See his book "A More Perfect Constitution"
A warning, he envisions this under Article V.
The Center for Politics, which he founded, conducts a National Youth Leadership Initiative where students engage in a mock Constitutional Convention. http://www.amoreperfectconstitution.com/youth_leadership_initiative.htm
This Snake is Slick.
Great info., Ray76.
Thank you. Will visit links when the sun comes up.
I went looking for any connections with Bush. I didn't find any, but boy I did find some other stuff.
He's well connected and has the prestige of the U of Virginia behind him, that's why I say he's slick.
I've been aware of Sabato for a while. A very conservative friend at work thinks highly of him. I'm not so sure, although I acknowledge he has a better than 50-50 track record in predicting election outcomes in the past. But another Bush? No thanks!
I don't think either Party wants anymore Clinton's or Bush's.
I won't vote for him-period.
"We have RomneyCARE, more Saudi bowing,
and more totally open borders FOR YOU !!!"
If he is, I'm moving to Russia.
The University of Virginia Center for Politics apparently does not get away from the campus very much. This is a surprising finding, given that they probably have access to the Internet.
It won't fly in the real world. One has too much "attractiveness" while the other doesn't have enough hair!!!
'nuff said.
good luck with that.
I will not support another bush
Just tired of their compassionate conservative bull crap.
The Bush's are NOT conservatives, never were never will be.
If he is the parties candidate then I will write in
cruz, Paul, or freaken bugs bunny.
NO......Please no more Bushes, Clintons or Kennedys.
Lets try something fresh this time.
I won't even vote if that dipshit is the GOP nominee.
Re. Bush v. Hillary
In her words, "what difference does it make?".
Most excellent.
UVA the weakest number 1 seed.
Makes me want to swear.
Larry Sabato, a noted leftist kool-aid drinker, lobbying hard for the GOP to immolate its' 2016 chances on a sword named "Jeb".
If Jeb Bush is the republican nominee, I will vote third party, write in Ted Cruz or my own name, or not vote.
Imho, she's behind it all. More than anything else, I believe that she wants a dynasty.
well said

Page Content
After conducting a national search, the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point has appointed a Whiting resident as the chief academic officer of the university.
Greg Summers has been named provost and vice chancellor for Academic Affairs, a position he has held on an interim basis since 2011, when former provost Mark Nook took the job of senior vice president for Academic and Student Affairs for UW System.
"Greg is an innovative and collaborative leader," said Bernie Patterson, chancellor of UW-Stevens Point. "He not only created the vision of Thriving Communities, the university's strategic initiative to become more relevant and responsive to community needs, he is spearheading the implementation of academic programs to bring the concept to life."
As interim provost, Summers was instrumental in the revision of the general education program at UW-Stevens Point, which emphasizes clear learning outcomes aimed at providing a broad-based education. He also managed budget and personnel, helped to build a new enrollment management unit, created a new Inclusive Excellence Leadership Team and is rekindling the university's tradition of Convocation.
"I've been privileged to spend my entire career at UW-Stevens Point," said Summers, 44. "I'm proud of the good work we do here as public educators, I'm honored to be entrusted with this opportunity, and I look forward to working with my colleagues across campus to continue to provide the best education possible to our students and the many communities we serve."
During his 12-year career at UW-Stevens Point, Summers has also served as the associate vice chancellor for Teaching, Learning and Academic Programs and as a faculty member and chair of the Department of History.
His research and teaching interests are in United States environmental history, the history of technology and consumerism. He is the author of the book, "Consuming Nature: Environmentalism in the Fox River Valley, 1850-1950," through the University Press of Kansas. He is also working on another book, "The Comforts of Nature: A Brief Natural History of the American Home," through the University of Washington Press.
Summers holds a doctorate in U.S. history from UW-Madison, a master's degree in U.S. history from the University of California at Santa Barbara and two bachelor's degrees, one in history and another in physics, from the University of Akron.

Posted on 06/26/2013 9:59:45 AM PDT by Lucky9teen
The Patriot Wave will sweep the country demanding that Congress impeaches President Barack Obama, James Neighbors, National Coordinator and Founder of a movement called Overpasses for Obamas Impeachment, announced today. He said there will be nationwide overpass protests this summer in July and August. The movement is inspired by a similar protest earlier this month in California.
Protestors in Carlsbad, California made news a couple weeks ago holding a protest on a nearby highway overpass on Interstate 5 on June 8. The protesters held up a variety of Impeach Obama signs and the demonstration slowed down southbound traffic on the highway for hours.
On June 8th, a group of patriots protested in Carlsbad, Cal. led by Roger Ogden. After reading several news stories on that protest, the inspiration struck me that if such protests were to occur nationally, that surely Congress would listen and act, Neighbors said, After thinking for several hours on how to create something like that, Overpasses for Obamas Impeachment was born.
Neighbors says the Overpasses movement is growing rapidly and its organizers have a goal of having overpass protests in all 50 states. He said, As we speak, organizations across America are planning protests. California, Oklahoma, Texas, Alabama, Florida and Louisiana.. For now, local groups are planning their own protests, throughout July, beginning July 4th.
The members of the Overpasses movement regard President Obama as so thoroughly involved in the scandals as to warrant his impeachment. Neighbors said, His administration is the most scandal ridden that I have ever known of. His policies fly in the face of the U.S. Constitution. For anyone to say he has no knowledge or part in the growing list of scandals is simply astonishing. Nixon said the same thing, and history shows how deep his involvement actually was.
Take a little time to check out the groups Facebook page , and if you like what you see, join up and perhaps even take on a leadership/organizational role in your area of the country.
For those of you who have often said theres nothing I can do, well, now you can. Every bit helps when it comes to educating others to take a more honest look at what the Obama administration has been doing to this country.
Justice for those murdered in Benghazi! Hillary and 0bama must NOT be allowed to simply walk away from this. INTERROGATE THE ATTACKERS AND THE EVACUEES! THEY KNOW THE TRUTH.
While impeachment may seem like a far off dream (because of who is in our Senate), it would not hurt one bit, to demonstrate and protest with big signs all over the country on overpasses.
People could even make signs that mention all the scandals Obama is up to his ears in.
But a BIG presentation on how WE THE PEOPLE truly feel, is definitely what is needed here. And a simple march on DC isn't going to do it. A nationwide surge of people, protesting in very public, viewable places, might get a lot more attention and do SOME good. IMO
Impeachment won't happen, but I'd be happy to see Americans give Obama the same KMA treatment he's getting from Putin.
However? Pushing for Impeachment harms nothing, and helps to undermine Obama.
You have to log in to Facebook to get any info.
I don't use facebook and I'm not going to use facebook.
Anybody have any other source?
If they try this again in CA..they will be asked to stop and then arrested if they don't.
What the people want and what the media TELLS US the people want are entirely two different things. Scary times. All the polls are manipulated to make people feel that what they're feeling isn't what everyone else is feeling, so they better change their minds. Sick!
On what pretense?
It's a public sidewalk.
Why? Is what they're doing illegal?
And not just make this about impeaching Obama. Impeach the whole lot of em.
Article II, Section 4, of the U.S. Constitution states, The President, Vice President and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.
"the inspiration struck me that if such protests were to occur nationally, that surely Congress would listen and act"
I don't care who you are - that there is funny.
Not a F...ing chance. The communists have taken control of the Country. America is finished. All the talk and investigations of corruption doesn't mean crap. Meanwhile the conversion to dictatorship goes on.
Yeah stay away from social media.
That's where 95% of folks under 30 get their information.
Leave it to the "progressives" to educate them.
Maybe at one time these protests would have worked but not in this commie-socialist climate.
There should be a publicly accessible page with contact info, locations, date/time.
It can be a static page. If you want you can have links to facebook. It can be done for free.
I'll even do it for you if you provide the info. Or just get rid of the password protection, easiest of all.
I just found this article and posted here...and I don't get any such message to view the article or on Facebook....maybe it's because I have a Facebook account, I don't know, but I have no idea what you are talking about re: password protection.
Tased and arrested is more like it. Definitely, they shouldn't take their dog along.
State pages are not accessible without a password.
I have no idea what you are talking about...state pages?
"Click SEE MORE to get the list!"
Sorry, I have no control over that Facebook page. I was just sharing to spread the info.
Ah. Ok. My mistake. I thought it was your page.
If you're so inclined, if you provide the info on those pages I'll create a static page.
Facebook is evil.
"-—all the scandals". The idea sounds great to me but the first requirement is that a "Bill of Particulars" be formulated. They must be plainly stated and clear violations of Obamuzzie's oath of office or out-and-out illegal acts, not to mention constitutional violations. Everyone packing a sign on an overpass must be able to answer clearly what the complaints actually are. Not good enough to say something lame like "I just don't like the Kenyan in the White hut."
For my own part I believe the first charge should be "dereliction of duty"-—that's what he failed to do during Beengazzy.
Start with a tax revolt. Refuse to file, refuse to pay, stop withholding, and tell the federal government to GO STRAIGHT TO HELL!
I agree. There will never be another valid election. I'm not sure there have been any for decades. And that includes state and local elections.
I like this. It's exactly the direction that patriotic Americans need to be going right now. It's long past time for us to ratchet up our activities a few notches.
Google, Bing, Startpage?
Even better. Make the goons arrest us for peaceful assembly and protest, in violation of our 1st Amendment right to do so. We need to make a very large spectacle of what this administration is doing to America.
Civil disobedience is the way to go. The more, the better.
"I'm Barack Obama, and I approve this message!"
Awesome point, Nas. Well taken.
Overpasses for Obamas Impeachment plans to go cross-country
by Cheryl Carpenter Klimek
"Planning to sweep the country with a patriot wave, a movement called Overpasses for Obamas Impeachment is looking to heat up July and August with overpass protests, according to the Examiner.
James Neighbors, the movements national coordinator and founder, has already set up a Facebook page and is preparing for demonstrations similar to the one held in California earlier this month."
Cheryl Carpenter Klimek has been a political consultant handling public affairs and PAC management for nearly 20 years. Cheryl can be reached by email at email@example.com & on Twitter @CherylBPR
Respectfully, do you really think they may not skate?
Just asking.
I just did -
and Shared 4 of their posts on my timeline. First I'd heard of them. May this get BIG!
Great, then you can just sit back and do nothing, right?
May I please post that picture of yours on my Facebook page?
I'll wait for your permission. Thanks.
Hi Cat. It's not my picture. It was posted on one of the articles linked in this thread. It's also the background pic for the Overpass Facebook group. Thanks.
By the way, I just joined the Texas Overpasses group.
>>>Yeah stay away from social media.
Thats where 95% of folks under 30 get their information.
Leave it to the progressives to educate them.<<<
I understand your disgust, but I disagree with leaving the young to the propaganda of the left. We need to get in the faces of the propagandists and be on the offensive. I'm to old to get into a physical brawl, but there are some mountains I'm willing to die on metaphorically. Whenever there's some leftist crap online and I can respond, I respond. IMHO
I signed up tonight, and am already talking with folks in my area. All of us are sick of grumbling on the internet while our country is stolen from beneath our feet.
Time to get up and make a noise.
Impeachment would just solidify his standing, and give them a chance to wave the race flag....uh card in our faces again. Let's just nuetralize this bastard politically, making him inert, and foul the water so bad for the dims in 2016 that the country begs for a conservative.
The prospect of "President Joe Biden" would daunt Americans of every persuasion!
so did I...are you in Houston?

Market pressures for cheap rare earths may lead managers to skimp on environmental protections.and produces a "tremendous amount" of solid waste, according to the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency. China's rare earths mines have used only a fraction of the world's total supply, and substantial untapped reserves are found in Australia, the United States, parts of the former Soviet Union, and other countries. Global demand for rare earths dipped last year on the heels of a speculative bubble, but the EPA said in December there is a "high likelihood" that some of the elements will be in short supply by 2014.
A half-century of rare earths mining in China has caused serious environmental problems.reported that the country's rare earths operations are causing "increasingly significant" environmental problems. A half century of rare earths mining and processing has "severely damaged surface vegetation, caused soil erosion, pollution, and acidification, and reduced or even eliminated food crop output," the council reported, adding that Chinese rare earths plants typically produce wastewater with a "high concentration" of radioactive residues.
The Malaysian plant sits atop reclaimed wetland that is prone to flooding and lies only two miles from the sea.The study faults a Lynas plan to dispose of wastewater through an open channel rather than a closed pipeline; a refusal by the company to disclose what the plant's exact chemical byproducts will be; and a temporary waste storage facility that the institute predicts will cause radioactive leakage "even under normal operating conditions." A Lynas spokesperson from the company's Australia headquarters did not respond to a request for comment.

State opens Essex Chain of Lakes
NEWCOMB – The Essex Chain of Lakes is now open to the public for the first time in more than 100 years, even though the state is still in the process of classifying the lands.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced that 11,600 acres of former Finch, Pruyn and Co. timberland that the state has purchased from The Nature Conservancy was opened for outdoor recreation Tuesday under an interim plan administered by the state Department of Environmental Conservation. The date the lands opened, Oct. 1, coincides with the end of the exclusive leases a pair of hunting clubs had to the property.
The lands are now open for hiking and horse trail riding, and snowshoeing and cross-country skiing during the winter, on the tract's network of old logging roads. Also allowed are hunting, trapping and bushwhacking on the surrounding lands, and fishing and paddling on the Essex Chain Lakes and other waters on the tract.
The public can only access the lands for day-use activities under the interim plan; overnight camping is prohibited. The use of motor boats and floatplanes by the public is also prohibited during the interim period.
Cuomo, in a press release, encouraged people "to explore this undiscovered and incredible part of the Adirondacks.
"Under this initial plan, we can attract tourists and generate much-needed economic activity in the region while at the same time balancing the needs of the communities in the Park and protecting the property for generations to come," Cuomo said.
A 7,600-acre portion of the Essex Chain tract, including lands along the Hudson and Cedar rivers, was opened in June via a pair of parking areas the state established.
The 11,600 acres that opened Tuesday can be accessed via the Goodnow Flow Road, south from Newcomb. When the road reaches Goodnow Flow, cars and trucks can either turn right onto a road that becomes Cornell Road and ends at a gate and a parking area for Deer Pond, or they can continue on Goodnow Flow Road to a parking area that's roughly a quarter mile from the Hudson River.
From the parking area near Deer Pond, paddlers can portage their canoes and kayaks roughly a quarter mile from the parking lot to the pond. From there, they can paddle across Deer Pond to a landing where there's a half-mile portage to a put-in site on Third Lake. Paddlers can then travel by water to First, Second, Fourth, Fifth and Seventh lakes.
The state says signs will direct the public to the open roads and parking areas, and gates have been installed on side roads to direct public motor vehicles to the Essex Chain Lakes tract and prevent trespassing onto adjacent easement lands. In addition, kiosks will provide maps, regulations and information about the leaseholders' privileges.
While the leaseholders no longer have exclusive use to the newly opened lands, they will still have one-acre exclusive-use envelopes around their camp buildings. Leaseholders also continue to have motorized access to and from the leased camps, including snowmobiles in the winter, ATVs during mud season, and cars and trucks for the remainder of the year. ATV use by leaseholders will also be allowed on designated access roads during hunting season.
Leaseholders will also be allowed to use boats with motors of 10 horsepower or less on Second through Sixth lakes, Jackson Pond and the Blackwell Stillwater section of the Hudson River from ice-out through June 30 and from Oct. 1 through the end of big-game rifle season. They will also be allowed to use electric motors on those waters between June 30 and Oct. 1.
The extent of public access to the lands will be determined once they're classified and once DEC completes a unit management plan for the area.
Last year, Cuomo signed a contract to buy 69,000 acres of former Finch timberlands from The Nature Conservancy over the next five years for $48 million, using money drawn from each year's state Environmental Protection Fund. The first phase of the deal closed in December, when the state bought the 18,000-acre Essex Chain of Lakes tract for $12.3 million. In April, the state bought another 9,300 acres, including the Indian River and OK Slip Falls tracts, for $6.3 million.
The state is now in the process of classifying these first three tracts, along with thousands of acres of adjacent Forest Preserve lands. The alternatives include wilderness, which is the most restrictive and where bicycles and motorized vehicles are prohibited, as well as primitive, canoe and wild forest, the least-restrictive option where bicycles and some motorized use is allowed.
The state Adirondack Park Agency is expected to make a recommendation to the governor, who will have the final say on the classification, at its meeting this month or in November.
The state has posted a map of access points to the Essex Chain of Lakes at www.governor.ny.gov/assets/documents/Essex-chain-access.pdf.

Primary care interventions for obesity: behavioural support, whether delivered remotely or in person, facilitates greater weight loss over 2 years than self-directed weight loss
- CHSCR, Sheffield Hallam University, Sheffield, UK
- Correspondence to Ian Brown
CHSCR, Sheffield Hallam University, 32 Collegiate Crescent, Sheffield, South Yorkshire, S10 2BP, UK; ian.brown{at}shu.ac.uk
Implications for practice and research
■ Generalist nurses (eg, practice nurses) can contribute to the social support element of weight loss interventions to improve participation and adherence.
■ Coaching patients within weight loss interventions (in person or remotely by email or phone) requires further specialist training in motivational interviewing and weight management.
■ Establishing which elements (within a complex programme) are effective in specific contexts would be useful to refine nursing practice in weight management.

The Interior Department has completed the first of two auctions for large offshore parcels for wind development.Cape Wind has faced enormous legal struggles because of opposition from local residents concerned that the turbines would mar the region's beauty and harm seabird populations. But its legal battles are now largely behind it, and Cape Wind has power-purchase agreements in place. The wind farm's developer, Jim Gordon, says the project will eventually be capable of supplying about 75 percent of the electricity needs of Cape Cod, which has a year-round population of 215,000.
The more projects we get in the water, the more that will accelerate the development of the industry."to install roughly 200 turbines that could generate more than 1,000 megawatts, enough to power about 400,000 homes.
Many analysts are skeptical about the near-term future of offshore wind, citing uncertain federal financial support.
The price of electricity generated offshore is initially expected to be several times the cost of power from coal or natural gas.

"The soul is contained in the human voice," says David Isay, founder of StoryCorps. He sees the StoryCorps booth — a setting where two people ask the questions they've always wanted to ask each other — as a sacred space. He shares his wisdom about listening as an act of love, and how eliciting and capturing our stories is a way of insisting that every life matters.

Share a Reflection
Hi Krista, Thank you so much
Hi Krista, Thank you so much for this interview. And thank you David for sharing your wisdom and experience. I have been working on something similar to StoryCorp for some time over here in the UK and only recently discovered both of you. I have been a web designer for many years and have found myself at a cross roads. David, remember when you said about finding your calling? Well, I have been looking for a while now for a new path, and the pull to this kind of expression is becoming louder and louder. So thank you both for inspiring me every day with what you do. You have filled me with a fresh sense of excitement for what I may create. I hope to talk with you both some day. Robbie in London, UK
Thank you, Krista, for yet
Thank you, Krista, for yet another wonderful interview. On Being has become one of the more important things I 'do' each week, and has opened my life to new ideas, new ways of living in this world as we know it. I'm grateful to people like David Isay who heard the call to create StoryCorp. Through hearing the stories of others I think we find that we are all so much more alike than we imagined.
Dear Krista, Although I loved
Dear Krista, Although I loved a lot about this program, I am very disappointed at the short shrift given to David Isay's mother's story. You did refer to her, but not even by name--and it's hard to find information about her on the internet, compared to finding information about Richard Isay. Almost universally, the story of the str8 spouse is unheard in the shadow cast by the high drama of the gay spouse's coming out. Please do a future show that corrects this imbalance. Start with Amity Buxton's "The Other Side of the Closet." Str8 spouses, and children of mixed orientation marriages, are also victims of our society's homophobia. Our lives and worlds of pain should be seen to matter, too. Best, Stephanie
It has been a wonderful story
It has been a wonderful story which I decided to share in spanish language on my blog, La Columna de Jesus. I was really touched on how David found out the night that he listened to his dad's interview the words "my sons" instead of "my books", for me it was the biggest lesson on how the art of listening needs to be effectively accomplished.
Your last show was very moving because both of you have come to recognize a dear friend who was right under your noses all along. You connected on the level of the meaning of your lives.
And while listening, this came to me to say to you.
We, human beings, can only do one of two things. We can think and we can listen. Thinking is manipulating what is in the memory. Listening is connecting with life itself. It is the mention of the interview with Mother Theresa, which brought this thought to me. It is possible to speak from listening and this is like sharing the listening. This is what you and David do.
And I realize that what I do in my work is teaching people to listen to themselves, because in themselves they have everything else that there is. If it is anywhere, it is in them. It starts with the external, shallow layer of thoughts and automatic thoughts in the subconscious. But if you do not stop there and go deeper, you can find everyone else, you can find who you really are, and you can go all the way to the infinity of love. It is all in every single one of us. And it s all yours for the listening.
This was one of Krista's best
This was one of Krista's best interviews! It felt more like listening in on an intimate conversation, in which the two speakers were keenly connected and totally in sync with each other. I will take away insights on how to really listen, and why sharing stories is priceless.
What a beautiful interview
What a beautiful interview with Dave Isay. My son is completing his PhD this spring but told us several months ago he wouldn't be attending graduation because it conflicted with a friend's wedding that was taking place in Italy. It was a difficult moment for his father and I but we knew that he was making the right decision. We then decided that we'd celebrate by attending his oral dissertation (which actually took place last Monday!) but I had a conflict and wasn't able to go. His father and a dear friend traveled to witness and participate in the celebrations that day and I was grateful to be able to view in via my phone. I left it to my son to find a way he and I could commemorate this passage and I was deeply touched when he called a few weeks ago to tell me what he had arranged -- we're meeting in Chicago for him to interview me at the StoryCorps booth in May! After he completed his undergraduate degree, I founded A Place To Turn To a non-profit that supports families throughout the parenting process - because kids don't come with instructions! We provide opportunities for parents to question, learn, explore and integrate what's most important to them into every day life. My son wants to interview me about parenting, our role in getting him to this place in his life, and why I've chosen to devote my time and resources to helping other parents along the way. Of course, I was deeply touched and I have been looking forward to our time together -- so when I heard today's interview -- the tears already began to flow! I will assume there are tissues available in the sound booth -- but will be bringing my own, just in case! Thank you, Dave Isay for your work that has and continues to touch so many lives in such profound ways.
To Krista Tippett - of course
To Krista Tippett - of course, thanks for the program and the wonderful interview with David Isay - To Jan Cloninger - THANK YOU for what you wrote on the comment page of Krista's conversation with David Isay - congratulations to your son as well. I'm interested in your organization A Place to Turn To - I teach teachers how to use technology. I agree that, "...kids don't come with instructions!" - thanks again.
Thank you for this show, as
Thank you for this show, as it was a wake up call for me. For most of my life I've been told that I'm a good listener. Lately I've been at the point that if I got that feedback one more time I'd scream. Thank you both for the reminder of the gift of listening. If I am known as that, I want to live into it. I want to provide that for others as they call me to be that for them. Now that I reflect on my life lately, I haven't been as happy and grounded as I know myself to be. Perhaps, avoiding being a listener, as I've done lately, has cost me experiencing joy in life. Hmm. Thanks for listening as I work this out ;-)
Hi Lisa, and anyone else
Hi Lisa, and anyone else moved by the call to deeply listen,
I have become a facilitator bearing witness as Isay talks about by training to be a facilitative mediator. I now work for the community nonprofit that trained me, though I get as much fulfillment carrying those skills with me in my personal relationships and random encounters. Many community conflict resolution centers like the one I work for exist throughout the country, and are able to be Listeners for their communities because the people they train choose to stay on and volunteer their skills to the center's programs. Ladies and gentlemen, it is a sweet way to convert your natural skills into an invaluable community good. If that is of interest to you, you can find a center near you at www.nafcm.org, and ask about their training programs.
As I have pursued this work over the years, I have come to realize that this kind of Listening (and the curiosity it requires) is essential to hold hope for the future -- to get us beyond the current cultural emphasis on intolerance, polarization, broadcasting our views vs exploring others'...
Please, anyone who is moved by this interview: practice listening, as Tippett says -- it is a gift we all need.
The Story Corps came to our
The Story Corps came to our home town. I scheduled time with my husband and was looking forward to sharing our love story. In early January a week before our special date, my sister's medical condition changed significantly and I left town to care for her. I was blessed to have had the opportunity to be her caregiver over a 3 month period and we were able to bring her back home where she died on April 7, 2014. The wonderful gift I received was the circle of amazing friends that I shared space with over those months. I had the opportunity to meet her friends and receive the gift of love from them. Someday I will visit the Story Corp. Until then I lived that intimate space and for that I give thanks.
There is so much truth in
There is so much truth in "Listening is an act of love." Perhaps that is why I feel such an abundance of love. So many of my friends are amazing listeners.
Thanks, Dave and Krista, for a wonderful show.
Krista - check out Dr. Rick
Krista - check out Dr. Rick Bommelje's research on Listening Leaders.....another inspiration in how listening is as important as talking...
I think it's more interesting when you enter your soul through the stories you tell. Through changing views and documented recordings, it seems that we interview the image of someone one that we have in our hearts, because once again we allow people to conversate into our own being. David, after many years if finding a passion can document more than someone who is just starting or doing something remarkable, but capturing the passion within. Based on the themes, we grow as individuals, but also in remember acne of those who we have listened and learned. W are all under the human condition, we are all harbors of our own stories. We relate to those who we look up to. David is someone who gives more than just the reason of secrets between the people we were what we thought were larger, but each story is a new piece to our puzzle.

Hi Krista, I had to work on
Hi Krista, I had to work on Easter Sunday (officiating at a wedding!) and couldn't go to AM worship. I also had only one brief Easter podcast on my ipod to cover my 3 hours in the car. I listen to NPR all the time, but FM, so I didn't think of your show, but I stumbled upon it. Your interview with Dave Isay easily made up for missing church that day. I loved both of your honesty and your insights on listening. I loved (and grabbed) the Bonhoeffer quote, make a note of what Mother Theresa said about listening, and made a plan to check out any books that you or Dave might have authored. I don't say this lightly: You truly ministered to my soul, and made for a very special start to my Easter day. (I kept expecting you to mention Henri Nouwen - on listening - but I'm sure it was just for lack to time. The show reminded me of him on the topic of loving listening and the need that the average person needs to be really heard, and loved that way. Listening, solitude, silence - it could be so many shows. (Which reminds me, I'm going looking for your podcast right now!) Thanks so much. Bill
There is no greater agony
There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you." - Maya Angelou
Dear Krista,
Thank you for this wonderful interview with David. My late Dad's priorities were shifted drastically after his second battle with cancer. During that time he started saying I love you! frequently, and as a result it has become part of the style of most of his children and grandchildren. Blessings!
Talking about listening, I
Talking about listening, I was wondering if you have ever done an interview on the Alternatives to Violence Project (AVP) , a Quaker initiated project which started initially in prisons. Listening is a key peacemaking tool in AVP.
Dear Krista,
Dear Krista,
Thank you, again, for another wonderful opportunity to "eavesdrop" on your amazing conversations, this time with David Isay. The conversations flow so naturally through intimate pathways and sensitive nuances. The conversations you evoke and distill on your show are sacred listening time for me, made more sacred now thanks to David's perspective that the soul is contained in the voice.
Thank you for allowing these vessels of listening, for being the sacred container, for offering us the opportunity to sip from the chalice of listening of so many wonderful souls. Your programs are part of my Sunday Soul practice and my go-to place for when I seek inspiration and awarenesses. I always find it here with you and Trent, and crew. Excellent work! Thank you!!!
Great interview! Thank you
Great interview! Thank you for bringing the personal side of Dave Isay to so many people. He is SUCH a VERY special person who is changing lives one person at a time. He is a genuine, true friend and I am so blessed to call him my friend.

I loved this interview. On Being is such a special program -- thank you for the beautiful work you do.
Question: I would love to be able to hear that original radio segment David talks about that he did for WBAI. Is it available anywhere? I'm not finding it easily via Google.
thank you!
Another fabulous interview
Another fabulous interview Krista, thanks so much. I LOVE StoryCorps. Wonderful stories/interviews from Dave Isay. Stories or 'ordinary people' are more interesting to me than all of the hullabaloo about Hollywood stars. Just like people on HONY, the average person, when approached with respect and compassion, will open up and so much honest raw emotion flows . . . it is beautiful. We are so blessed to have people like you and Dave documenting these stories with sound. Makes me want to do this with my 80+ year-old mom.

you are beautifull ,your gentle nature in an often harsh world is a delight to me.thank you for being you Krista.
Many people have
Many people have conversational scripts or agendas that they fall back on, even with people they know well. Has David Isay ever had to discard a StoryCorps interview because a participant never got past spouting rote responses and personal cliches?
I have gone back to Judaism
I have gone back to Judaism as an adult and I found out it was for me. Just because things didn't work out when you went to Hebrew School as a child does not mean that it is not for you, There are lots of way of being Jewish and you might find out that you just didn't like the version you were taught at oneHebrew School when you were young. Most of us are taught about religion when we are young and never learn about religion as an adult. Most rabbis, I have learned are good listeners. Why don't you listen to people who are doing interesting things Judaism.
When I am totally involve in listening, I forget that I am shy and usually nervous about having something interesting to say.
Does anyone know the source
Does anyone know the source of the information about the Dan Rather/Mother Teresa interview? I've seen it quoted all over the internet, but would like to hear that interview and hear her say these words about listening for myself. Thanks in advance.

StoryCORE : I say 'Listen'
Thank you Krista and David
Thank you Krista and David for that genuine conversation about listening. Thank you both of you, for revealing the meaning, beauty, and opportunities hidden in everyday life. Your work makes the world a better place to live. I am a great big fan of Story Corps and On Being.
I enjoy your show immensely.
I enjoy your show immensely. Ironically in this particular show involving two people who are supposed to be professional listeners it seemed to me neither of you were actually listening.
As an attorney, the notion
As an attorney, the notion that "the soul is contained in the human voice" resonates with me, except I might say instead that the soul is revealed in the human voice. Your show nourishes me every Sunday morning and causes me to reflect on my life and law practice throughout the week.
Krista and David spoke of the
Krista and David spoke of the importance of listening. Here is testimony to that from Quaker author Douglas Steere (in his "Gleanings: A Random Harvest"): "To 'listen' another's soul into a condition of disclosure and discovery may be almost the greatest service that any human being ever performs for another." Thank you, Krista! I count on your show for weekly doses of wisdom and spiritual enrichment.
To understand someone, one
To understand someone, one must first listen. Krista and David do that all the time and their joint conversation here really drove that point home. Well done. I also reference Rabbi Akiva who said "Silence is a protection for wisdom" (Pirkei Avot 3:17).
Thanks to both Krista and
Thanks to both Krista and David for an excellent program yesterday. I love the StoryCorp initiative and always make sure to listen (HA!) when one is played on NPR. The power of listening and allowing others to tell their stories is so very vital. Recently, two friends and I did a study of people's Best Boss experience. While we learned a lot about leadership from our study, the most powerful element of our work was the wonderfully energizing and emotional stories people told us about the impact that their best bosses had on their entire lives. And, to no surprise, listening, trust and respect were central tenants in best boss behaviors. I just posted an article my Linked In page about our study and have been overwhelmed with the positive buzz it created. Thanks again to Krista, David and the entire On Being staff for your great work!
I have a dvd that my daughter
I have a dvd that my daughter in law did of my parents for their 65th wedding anniversary. She interviewed my parents, other members of the family, talking about their life, marriage and family. They were married 70 years before they passed away, and we all treasure this keepsake. My daughter in law-who has made documentaries-asked very few questions, and just let the conversations evolve as she listened. I loved your interview of David.
Having come from a repressive
Having come from a repressive household, the son of a Christian minister, I've had nothing short of a visceral response to mention of God or the church since leaving for college (and effectively leaving religion and spirituality) seventeen years ago. The quote you shared by Dietrich Bonhoeffer was truly beautiful however, and brought tears to my eyes despite this mention.
I've since rediscovered spirituality (albeit through a different path), and come to appreciate the power of listening. Whether through observation when in silence, or through genuine listening to another speak, not only is listening a window into the soul, by more importantly it is the key to genuine human connection. Thank you for sharing, and thanks to both Krista and David for your work in building human connection.
I am a therapist. I listen to
I am a therapist. I listen to stories in my office. But that wasn't enough so I started putting my chair out on the street with other therapists last year. Now it's a thing called Sidewalk Talk and several people came up to me on the street and said "you have to check out StoryCorps". So happy to find kindreds. David and Krista, if you are ever in San Fran come out and listen with me. It would be an honor.
Reminded me of a quote of
Reminded me of a quote of jack London "It is so simple a remedy,merely service.Not one ignoble thought or act is demanded of anyone of all men and woman in the world to make fair the world.The call is for nobility of thinking,nobility of doing.The call is for service,and,such is the wholesomeness of it,he who serves all,best serves himself"
As an Nurse, professor, and
As an Nurse, professor, and therapist for many years...I thought I knew what compassionate listening was. I teach it, I practice it, and I am privy to the responses of many. Today I learned to be a bit more present and how story and a third party impact the triangle of listening...and the inside view of StoryCorps. I feel blessed with this interview. So motivated, I went to spend time with my mother in palliative care. I audio tapped an interview with her ...and perhaps the most important exchange was when I thanked her for being my Mom....Thanks David Isay and Krista!
Sorry to be critical but you
Sorry to be critical but you blew this interview from the start because you affirmed a point of view that David expressed that was deeply hurtful to anyone who has lost the ability to speak. My mother-in-law lost the ability to speak last winter because of ALS. She did not lose her soul at that time as Isay implied and you affirmed when you led with the "soul is contained in the human voice" and didn't question this.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (589 votes).
In short: Great race. The best start to the year i could imagine.Date of review: February 17, 2009
In short: Horrific but excellentIn full: Excellent organisation, great atmosphere, friendly organisers, friendly competitors. the course itself is a series of 3 or 4 hils, the last one was horrific. They say you should add 40% onto your PB and i think thats fair. The one minor gripe i'd have is the price - but if its what you have to pay to experience this then fine!Really great, worth going to bed early on NYE for?Date of review: January 21, 2009
In short: I'll be backDate of review: January 11, 2009
In short: Great Way to Start the yearIn full: A great way to start the year...My first Knacker Cracker, don't know what to say really. fantastically fun, well organised and how bloody hard... I know Box Hill would be bad but I didn't know about the steps..I will be back for the other Trionium races later in the year... but having done some hill training first..Date of review: January 11, 2009
In short: An excellent start to the new yearIn full: An excellent start to the new year and a wonderful downhill finish to make you forget the hard slog of the preceding 9k and finish feeling fit and fast!Date of review: January 9, 2009
In short: MentalDate of review: January 7, 2009
In short: Engage legs, disengage brain! This is the Knacker Cracker!In full: Last year's Knacker Cracker was my debut on the course and I had so much fun that when I'd finished I wanted to go backwards and do it all again! Forunantley I am not as stupid as I look (although many would disagree!) so I waited a whole year to take part in the 2009 event. The title "Toughest 10K" and with it being on New Year's Day had people phoning the funny farm to get me sectioned and when they realised I was doing it in fancy dress they just threw their hands to the sky and walked away shaking their heads in disbeleif... there really is no hope for a Knacker Cracker runner!I was amazed to see that many more runners had made a special effort to come in fancy dress this year, myself included. It really adds to the overall attraction of the race, it is unique, no two ways about it. To think that a portion of the entrants may have been half cut from New Year's celebrations and still made the effort to show up is equally impressive!The last time I heard a countdown to zero wast last year approaching midnight, the next one I heard was Dr Rob reminding me that this was it... my Knacker Cracker was about to start.... ARRRRGH!Is it me or did that 1st hill go on for ever and ever? Just my imagination, as I thought. It was the 2nd hill called Juniper Bottom, it was tougher than trying to cycle up Everest backwards whilst playing a trumpet! Listen to my heavy breathing (if you like that kind of thing!) as I am videoing Andy Fay, the coalman, passing me by the PUT SOME EFFORT In sign! I enjoyed the run through the forrest and leaping over the odd stile and tree trunk but was disappointed the puddle before the Smith & Western diner had dried out, I had psyched myself up to paddle through that!The ominus "CHUTE" lay in wait and I revelled in the madness of trying to stay upright as I trundlled downhill, ducking, diving, bobing and weaving with a silly grin on my face (not that anyone could see it as I had a scary mask on!) I passed what I thought was an impromptu party in the CHUTE but discovered later that the Tin Man and his ensemble had an injured female in the goup with a cut knee, sorry I didn't realise or stop! Still upright I negotiated the sharp right turn at the bottom before the 3rd climb on the course, refeshingly enough to a drinks station! (It was hot in that mask!) The legandry steps appeared soon and it was a bit like rush hour on the Tube escalators, plenty of people in a hurry! It was slippery and at one point I encountered a mini pile up as someone fell over, no harm done though. The bridge over the river was exposed, unlike the prep run on the 17th so with that obstacle ticked off the hop, skip and jump of the stepping stones appeared! I safely negotiated them too and then the freeze frame, slow motion of the climb up the steps began... 1,2,3,4,5.... 126, 127, 128, 229, 230, 231... 270.... Oxegyn please Dr. Rob!With the Krypton factor assault course conquered a short run lead to what is commonly known as THE best finish of any foot race - FACT. You are rewarded for your 9K of blood, sweat and tears with a fantastic, wide open and extremely gratifying vision of the finish line. Take it at your lesiure or, as I did, embrace the oppurtunity to hurtle into the New Year giving it all you've got! I even managed a PB in fancy dress knocking 36seconds off last years time! Simply Fantastic! I love this race and will be back for the hat-trick in 2010!Thumbs up and a big pat on the back to everone involved in making this race possible and for reaching number 4 of ALL the races voted for in 2008.My videos of the race are here: http://uk.youtube.com/RED1028The name - TRIONIUM, The man - Rob Macaffrey, The outcome - Legendary.Date of review: January 7, 2009
In short: Savage Hills especially with a hangoverDate of review: January 6, 2009
In short: A gentle way to start the New Year .......In full: Those hills and steps leave you dizzy after the night before - I'm sure I saw Dorothy, the Lion, the Witch and TinMan skipping down the hill .... As ever, great organisation and support from the marshalls who were terrific despite the cold. A great start to the New Year, finished off by warm soup and a long sleep on the sofa during the afternoon. Look forward to kicking off 2010 in the same way!Date of review: January 5, 2009
In short: In full: A terrific event, I felt very under-dressed in my grass skirt next to MR T, the cowboy on his inflatable horse , the masai warrior as well as Dorothy, the Witch, the Lion, the Tim man etc. Great way to start the year and because of the handicap system you're never lonely out on the glorious course. Not an event to take too seriously as a competitive challenge but one to saviour as a great spirited event, thanks DocDate of review: January 5, 2009

Southeast Asian Inspired Photoshoot...
I recently did a photoshoot where we went for a lot of beauty shots with a vibrant jewel toned background. The photographer used an Indian Sari and maroon mosquito netting to accomplish the look. The model is Trinidian and with Arabic descent. I went ahead and did a smokey green eye and wine colored lip and she looked gorgeous. Her foundation was a bit tricky to match. She has a yellow/orange undertone to her skin. I needed to do some mixing of foundations to match her color appropriately. Don't ever be afraid to mix to get your best color. Also, don't feel scared to carry your foundation onto your shoulders and neck. The model had a few imperfections on her shoulders. I applied concealer using my 224 brush to give a softer more natural appearance and firmly pressed setting powder over it. The powder really prevents the makeup from smudging off.
Here's what I used:
-rimmel fix and perfect foundation primer
-cinema secrets foundation
-graftobian powder
-camera ready cosmetics blush
-MAC beauty powder in drizzegold
--rimmel professional brow pencil
-anastasia clear brow gel
-max factor mascara
-ardell lashes - top and bottom
-MAC technakohl liner in graph black
-Revlon Colorstay liquid liner in blackest black
-MAC paint in bare study
-MAC olive green pigment
-MAC shroom e/s
-MAC carbon e/s
-MAC bottle green e/s
-MAC juxt e/s
-MAC pencil in vino
-MAC lipstick in Deep Attraction
-MAC gloss (wine color, can't remember the name)

Brief SummaryRead full entry
Brief Summary
Three species of Philophthalmus trematodes (eye flukes) have been recorded parasitizing humans: P. lacrymosus, P. gralli. and P. palpebrarum. The geographic distribution of the genus is presumed to be worldwide. The known human cases are from the United States, Central Europe, the Middle East, and southeast Asia and Japan.
Fully-embryonated Philophthalmus eggs are shed into the water from the definitive host's eyes. Miracidia hatch almost immediately in water and penetrate the snail intermediate host. Several snail genera may serve as intermediate hosts, including Thiara spp. and Melanoides spp. Inside the snail host, the miracidia (which contain a pre-formed redia) undergo a series of stages and become cercariae. Cercaria are released from the snail and encyst on aquatic vegetation or other solid objects in the water. The definitive host, which is usually an aquatic bird, becomes infected upon ingestion of metacercariae. Metacercariae excyst in the mouth and migrate to the eye where the adults reside. Humans rarely serve as incidental hosts, but may do so when they ingest metacercariae on aquatic vegetation.

Canadian Music Week
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Tony Tirabassi Niagara Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, I share in the celebration of our music industry. February 27 to March 3 is Canadian Music Week and every year the creators, broadcasters and entrepreneurs involved in our music industry get together to share visions, celebrate successes and lay the groundwork for addressing the new challenges they face.
For many, names like Alanis Morissette, Marie-Jo Thério, Barenaked Ladies, Céline Dion, Nickelback, Sarah McLachlan, Garou and other superstars define Canadian music. Canadian music as a whole is a great success story with Canadian songwriters and musicians from all corners of the country playing an important role capturing and reflecting the diverse Canadian experience.
I congratulate all participants in Canadian Music Week. Let us not forget that now more than ever it is important that all Canadians support our Canadian musicians by enjoying their music.

Bob Mills Red Deer, AB
Mr. Speaker, this last week Red Deer, Alberta and Canada lost a truly great woman. Mattie McCullough died at age 92 and her great significance to our community was recognized last Saturday.
Mattie had many accomplishments in her life. She was a recipient of the Order of Canada, a long-time champion of education, president of the Alberta Home and School Councils' Association, honorary president of the Canadian Angus Association, holder of an honorary doctor of laws degree from the University of Alberta, and many more. Most important was that Mattie was so humble, always willing to listen, and always providing a sharp analysis of everything political. At age 86 she even enrolled in a university class.
I first met Mattie when her Angus bull chased me and my biology class out of their pasture. From then on we became the best of friends.
Mattie was always excited about education. She mastered the computer and could not believe the new information she could get from the Internet.
Our community and Canada lost a true Canadian and we will miss Mattie McCullough.
2002 Winter Olympics

Judy Sgro York West, ON
Mr. Speaker, millions of Canadians followed our Olympic athletes on their road to gold. Thanks to the wonderful power of TV and radio, Canadians from coast to coast watched and listened as the CBC broadcast the thrilling performance of these extraordinary Olympians.
Our public broadcasting network deserves the highest accolades for its outstanding coverage. The CBC gave us a dazzling show of athletes performing at their finest hour, and by doing so drew the country together in a spirit of passion and national pride. It was a special time for all of us.
I congratulate the producers, the directors, the technicians and the announcers who made it all possible, who brought the Olympic Winter Games into our homes and entrenched them into our hearts. Just as we have every reason to be proud of our athletes, so too we take pride in the CBC which truly showed us what Canada is all about and what we are made of. I thank the CBC.

Rodger Cuzner Bras D'Or—Cape Breton, NS
Mr. Speaker, it is indeed a great pleasure to stand in the House today and congratulate the tremendous Olympic performance of our Canadian athletes, and in particular to acknowledge the contribution of Cape Breton's own Al MacInnis.
As the senior statesman of the men's hockey team, Al's on ice performance was equalled only by his poise and leadership. Al has long been recognized for his tremendous skill but more so as a consummate team player. The pride and joy of Port Hood, Cape Breton epitomizes all that is good about sport and represents the truth that in our great country, Canada, dreams can come true.
I am certain that all Canadians are very proud of the entire Olympic contingent, but let it be known that none are more proud of their own than the people of Cape Breton.

Raymonde Folco Laval West, QC
Mr. Speaker, on Sunday, the Olympic flame went out, marking the end of the Salt Lake City winter games and the return of our Canadian athletes.
Among them, Tania Vincent and Amélie Goulet-Nadon, two young athletes from Laval, proudly came home with the bronze medal they won in the 3,000 metre short track speed skating relay. Tania Vincent had already won a bronze medal at the Nagano games, in Japan, in the same event.
Pascal Richard, who grew up in Laval, finished 15th in the skeleton event.
I join my fellow citizens of Laval in congratulating our Canadian athletes who, throughout the Salt Lake City games, made us share their Olympic dream.

Vic Toews Provencher, MB
Mr. Speaker, in less than three months two RCMP officers in Manitoba have been shot, one of them fatally. Just last week the home of another Winnipeg police officer was firebombed in a suspected gang related act of intimidation. In both shootings we know that some of the suspects were wanted for parole violations.
While criminals in Canada are increasingly more willing to use violence against our police officers, our solicitor general continues to accelerate the process of early release that will see more dangerous offenders released from his club fed style prisons. This not only defies common sense but it puts police at an unacceptable risk.
In order to restore public confidence in our justice system and to give police the support they need the Liberal government must act immediately to require criminals to earn their parole and to restore badly needed funding to our frontline police officers.
Film Industry
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Mac Harb Ottawa Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, last night fans of the Canadian film industry were swept off their feet with the debut of Men With Brooms at the Museum of Civilization. Featuring Canadian film stars Leslie Nielsen and Paul Gross, Men With Brooms has proven that our film industry is a strong player on the international stage.
I am equally delighted to congratulate the National Film Board and Winnipeg animator Cordell Barker for his second Oscar nomination for the short animated film entitled Strange Invaders . In 1989 Cordell Barker received his first Oscar nomination for the hilarious short film The Cat Came Back . This latest accolade amounts to the 66th Oscar nomination for the National Film Board over the past 63 years.
I am sure that all Canadians will join me in wishing good luck to the National Film Board and Cordell Barker as we await the Oscar award winners on March 24.
Kim St-Pierre

Robert Lanctôt Châteauguay, QC
Mr. Speaker, on behalf of my Bloc Québécois colleagues and myself, I wish to congratulate Kim St-Pierre, the goaltender for our women's hockey team, which won the gold medal at the Salt Lake City winter Olympics.
Kim St-Pierre, who is from Châteauguay, is the perfect example of an athlete who makes sacrifices to achieve her goal and who believes in her ability to reach the ultimate objective, an Olympic medal.
At the age of 3, Kim was already enrolled in figure skating. Later on, she discovered hockey and decided to make the necessary efforts to succeed in that sport. Kim was also an excellent softball and soccer player. Our gold medal winner wants to resume her kinesitherapy classes at the university as soon as possible. This will enable her to use her experience and to provide practical advice to our future athletes.
We are proud of her talent, her courage and her determination. Through her perseverance, she is showing that it is possible to achieve our goals and to fulfill our dreams. she is a distinguished ambassador for all Quebecers.
Bravo Kim!
Medical Hall of Fame

Joe Fontana London North Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, today we are honouring eight very special Canadians as they are welcomed into the Canadian Medical Hall of Fame. These leaders and pioneers have contributed greatly to medicine in the areas of muscular dystrophy, cystic fibrosis, cancer treatment, cell biology, neuropsychology, disease treatment and genetic research.
The Canadian Medical Hall of Fame and museum is a national organization that was established in 1993 in London, Ontario to pay tribute to the Canadian men and women who mark the history of medicine and to inspire the next generation. To date the organization has honoured 49 of Canada's medical heroes.
I congratulate these eight laureates for their remarkable achievements. Their contributions have not only impacted the well-being of Canadians but have made an impact across the globe, and we thank them for their contributions. They too are the gold medallists of the world.
Harry Rankin
Statements By Members
February 27th, 2002 / 2:10 p.m.
Svend Robinson Burnaby—Douglas, BC
Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay tribute today to Harry Rankin, long-time Vancouver civic politician, lawyer and social activist who died yesterday at the age of 81.
Harry Rankin served the people of Vancouver and British Columbia well. He was a member of city council in Vancouver, first elected in 1966 and retiring after almost 30 years in 1993.
In his career he always spoke out on behalf of what he called the little guy. He was also a respected lawyer who had a reputation of going to bat in court for the underprivileged, for the labour movement and for civil liberties issues. He was a bencher of the law society as well.
My colleague from Vancouver East is a former colleague of his from Vancouver city council. Another former colleague from city council, fellow councillor Pat Wilson, said Harry Rankin "dominated Vancouver city politics for almost 30 years and at the peak of his influence there was no more articulate, passionate or effective champion of ordinary people at any level of politics".
Harry Rankin was a great Canadian and certainly all of us will mourn his passing. We extend our condolences to his wife Connie Fogal and to his family.
Canadian Wheat Board
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Canadian Alliance
David Anderson Cypress Hills—Grasslands, SK
Mr. Speaker, today the Auditor General of Canada completed a one time audit of the Canadian Wheat Board. In her report she makes several recommendations that must not fall upon deaf ears.
However she was not permitted to examine all Canadian Wheat Board activities. Her audit was limited to the study of management practices. The auditor general was not permitted to examine the cost of the Canadian Wheat Board monopoly to farmers or the role and mandate of the board.
When will the minister responsible for the Canadian Wheat Board commit to allowing the auditor general to conduct regular and full audits of the Canadian Wheat Board in order to allow western Canadian farmers to know how much the system is costing them?
In Ontario the wheat producers have been required to market their grain through the Ontario Wheat Board. However in the last few years Ontario farmers have been allowed to market 20% of their own grain crop. Soon Ontario farmers will be allowed to market a third of their own crop outside of the board and eventually they will be allowed to market their entire production.
When will the minister, who is supposed to be representing western Canadian interests, give western Canadian farmers the same opportunity?
Guaranteed Income Supplement
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Gérard Binet Frontenac—Mégantic, QC
Mr. Speaker, the Bloc Québécois loves to stir up panic among seniors about the guaranteed income supplement. As soon as the report by the Standing Committee on Human Resource Development and the Status of Persons with Disabilities was tabled, I took the initiative of informing seniors on their entitlement to these benefits.
My office received more than 425 calls, and after investigation it was found that only 5% of cases needed to be harmonized.
The Bloc Québécois loves to perpetuate myths among the population by playing on their vulnerability and insecurity, merely for political gain. This is unacceptable.
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Monique Guay Laurentides, QC
Mr. Speaker, more and more Quebecers are realizing, with indignation, the unjust tax imbalance that is happening year after year between Ottawa and the provinces.
The Minister of Finance, the Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs, the Prime Minister, all say this is a myth, that it does not exist. This is a fine illustration of the traditional hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil, of people who do not want to hear anything, see anything and most particularly say anything.
But this reality does exist and we have clearly demonstrated its existence. The reality is that the federal government has recorded an increase in receipts of some 45% since 1994-95. The reality is that the federal government has recorded $13.4 billion in surplus funds in the first nine months of the year.
The reality of the provinces and of Quebec, however, is far less rosy. The sick are the first ones to fall victim to this scandalous situation.
Yet on the other side of this House, there they are closing their eyes, covering their ears and, if they do open their mouths, it is to distort reality.
Kyoto Protocol
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Geoff Regan Halifax West, NS
Mr. Speaker, during a Team Canada trip last week some of the premiers presented a letter to the Prime Minister opposing ratification of the Kyoto protocol. I was sorry to see that the premier of my home province was among them.
After our farmers have faced four years of drought, I would expect the premiers to show more concern about global warming. How many wells have to run dry each summer? How many lakes and rivers have to die? How many children and seniors have to suffer from respiratory diseases before Premier Hamm will consider our environment a top priority?
I urge all Canadians to press the premiers to support the Kyoto protocol so we can all breathe a little easier.

Bill Magitz <corbie at verizonmail.com> wrote: Hi All , first off I will not apologize for the goofy subject line cuz I am fer sure jonesing for another Indiana adventure. WOW what a great weekend we had. The roads we rode the sights we saw the people we met and rode with , Awesome fricking Awesome. I'll start with Saturday since it was the main ride day. Started with breakfast at the Cracker Barrel and the cute and charming Amanda , and shame on you Dave D. how do ya expect to get a heart warming smile ifya can't remember her name , jk , but when she said with a slight tilt of the head and a swing in her hip " My mama raised me to be justa hick" how could ya not be enamored. Anywee off we went , Dave B. Dave D. Jerry and I , to meet Don and Matt at the Williams Dam. A few photos and the adventure began. Hindostan was cool not often ya visit a ghost town. The monastery was a sight to behold and of course all those roads. Don you picked the most amazing route and set a brisk yet enjoyable pace. Lunch at the Dock , thanks again Don , a lot of laffs and good food who knew tooth picks could taste so good : ). See the pix of the view from the Overlook , kinda made me feel like i was on the Rhine river again , sweet. I'm sure I'm missing a few things but it was THE perfect ri! de. my tally was 335 miles and memories aplenty. For me I met up with Jerry in London Ohio a 485 mile cruise on the Interstates. And to Jerry's surprise I had never been to a Waffle House. Check this out Dark One there is not a single Waffle House in New Jersey that's right not even one. closest one is an hour away. this was Thursday. On Friday Jerry and I metup with Dave Daniels and we tailed a cutie up 70 and when we stopped at the rest stop she was stopped right next to us so of course I chatted her up and found she lived quite close to me in fact her father works in my home town ( M&M factory) so off we go to meet Dave Beard and lunch at Diggers , hey if it's good enough for GW ............... followed by a nice ride to Bloomington. The town was abuzz with students arriving for the new year. We had some girly beer , hahahaha , and another cutie of a waitress , no smiles for me cuz I forgot her name, but ya gotta love her serving technique. and of course I gotta hit the local CD shop for some dollar cd's. Friday I total! led 373 miles. Sunday was travel day Jerry and I left early 7:30 am up Rt 46 a good start , found the interstates and a little rain and at Columbus we went our ways , thanks for the escort Jerry. I had planned to stop in Bedford Pa and ride the last 4 hours Monday morning but I got to the exit by 4pm and decided to continue , bad mistake , I rode gearless in the rain for the last 6 hours of my trip , which took me until 10 pm to get home and 735 miles. But I did meet some good people on the way . Mike on his Harley I met at the toll plaza for the Pa turnpike , he followed me until I stopped for gas , kinda sound familiar guys ?? after gassing up I told him to lead and off he goes doing 80-85 MPH and then the rain , so what does Mike do?? he speeds up to 90mph. So in response to Mr French's question I would say the IRC's ride just fine in the rain. One last note before I stop babbling. I got off my last Hiway and was exhausted , wet , tired sore etc etc and 22 miles from home I had enough s! o I pulled over at a small shopping center. I tried to stretch my aching body tried to stop my trembling worn out limbs and finally noticed that the only open shop was a massage parlor ROFL now there's some irony for ya. but the cool thing was the BBQ restaurant at the end of the mall. the owner saw me and asked how I was and after hearing my tale he invited me in and Boss Hawg would of for sure cooked me anything i wanted even though he was clearly closed. He gave me a drink and we chatted for at least ½ an hour he made me call the wife to let her know I was ok and then insisted I call him back when I got home so he would know I was ok and then he loaned me his warm DRY jacket and some gloves and sent me on my way. Boss Hawg of the Hog Hollow Bar-B-Que is a fine gentleman and i suspect a new friend for life. that's me and my ride report 1928 miles total , see ya in 2008 !!!!!!!!

10 Family Vehicles You Can Still Look Cool In
It's tough to knock the minivan for being good at its job. It's spacious enough to hold the entire family and its gear, comfortable enough to keep everyone sedate for hours on end and has enough power under the hood to slide through lanes of vacation traffic like a sleeker car half its size.
The downside: It's a minivan. When you've resigned yourself to one, you've dropped the veil of illusion. Families weren't driven to SUVs in the 1990s and 2000s because they were more convenient. They were roped in because they weren't an immediate signal to those around you that you had a family, children in the back, potentially a mortgage payment waiting for you when you get home and nothing more exciting than a trip to the theme park ahead.
The SUVs and all their commercials featuring vehicles climbing rocky terrain and winding their way up coastal cliffs implied an escape that never was. Maybe you were mom or dad inside, but on the outside you were an intrepid explorer ready to pull offroad at any moment and send the prairie dogs ducking for cover.
It didn't help that carmakers began abandoning minivans altogether and ceding ground to the SUVs. The broad minivan market of the 1980s became a three-van race between Honda's

Intel Corp. plans to release its next-generation microprocessors based on the code-named Sandy Bridge micro-architecture in Q1 2011, sources familiar with Intel Corp.'s plans told X-bit labs. The initial processors based on the new micro-architecture will not aim at the high-end market, but will still not be compatible with current mainstream infrastructure and will require new sockets and chipsets.
The first Intel Sandy Bridge chips will feature two or four cores with Turbo Boost and Hyper-Threading technology as well as integrated graphics processor that will actually be on the same die as the x86 cores, according to previous reports. The chips will address mainstream market segments currently served by Intel Core i7, Core i5 and Core i3 processors, hence, there will be a lot of different models with 65W (dual-core, quad-core)or 95W (quad-core) thermal design power. The new processors will use LGA1155 form-factor and will be compatible with platforms based on the Intel 6-series chipsets code-named Cougar Point. It is noteworthy that while the new 6-series mainstream chipsets support Serial ATA-600 and some other innovations, the USB 3.0 does not seem to be a capability of the core-logic.
Some reports claim that six-core and eight-core Sandy Bridge-based designs will become available in Q2 2011 or later, hence, Intel is taking the same strategy as with Westmere micro-architecture and plans to initiate production of less complex processors first with higher-end models following later.
The key feature of Sandy Bridge Intel AVX (Advanced Vector Extensions) which, when used by software programmers, will increase performance in floating point, media, and processor intensive software, according to the Intel. Key features of Intel AVX include wider vectors, increasing from 128 bit to 256 bit wide, resulting in up to 2x peak FLOPs output. Enhanced data rearrangement, resulting in allowing data to be pulled more efficiently, and three operand, non-destructive syntax for a range of benefits. Intel AVX can also increase energy efficiency beyond the increases brought by the micro-architectural innovations, and is backwards compatible to existing Intel processors.
Intel did not comment on the news-story.
