You know the rules, another week of fantasy baseball means another week of fantasy injury updates. Read below to get a quick glance at who's coming and going for week 16 of the fantasy regular season.
OF, Jose Bautista/Toronto Blue Jays: Jose Bautista has missed the last several games with a twisted right ankle. He hasn't been placed on the DL yet, as the injury is not believed to be that serious. The Blue Jays believe that Bautista may have a good shot at returning for their next game on Tuesday the 19th at home against Seattle. For those in weekly leagues, I deem it safe to roll him this week. (more…)

June 2011) Although the Newsletter Mailer is translatable since version 1.1, it was time-consuming to translate the whole application. For this reason I have decided to provide the translation files for the most common languages ( Dutch, Portuguese, French, English, Italian, German) with the help of my customers. Thanks again to those who provided me with the translations. Every thing in the application is now translated the dates, the wysiwyg editor and the filemanager A/B testing is an important method of marketing testing. For this reason I decided to Implement an function which enables you to split a specific subscriber categories in to an random A and B category. An other important issue which was brought up by the users of the Newsletter Mailer was the ability to stop an newsletter from sending. Until now the newsletter mailer was like a fast running train with out any brakes. Using the tag {$update_subscriber} you can give your subscriber the ability to change his category selection or update his user informations. Custom Fields can now be labelled or hidden this will make the administration of the subscribers a lot clearer Last but not least, I added an addToCategory and a removeFromCategory function to the Newsletter Mailer API.

The new load tag will enable you to easily load informations in to your newsletter. You can use this feature to load for example a list of your newest products. This feature will be part of my next update. Select all feature. This allows you to add all the subscribers who match the search to a category or remove them from a category.

They realize their cities are going to be too polluted and their power is going to be too spotty if they keep going the way they've been going.

A minute into second half stoppage time Sunday at Crew Stadium, Eddie Gaven headed Emilio Renteria's cross just between the near post and Sporting KC's all-star goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen to level the score at 1. Once again, the Crew pulled last-ditch heroics out of nowhere, converting a crushing, possibly season-ending home loss into a frustrating but possibly season-sustaining draw.
It's been a trend. In recent months, Columbus has repeatedly benefited from magic in a match's waning moments. As the Crew rests up this weekend to prepare for two remaining regular season games, let's tour through the breathtaking finishes that have kept this squad within a sniff of the postseason.
Aug. 25: After digging out of a 2-0 hole to seize the lead with three tremendous first-half goals, the Crew was nearly devastated when a questionable 81st-minute penalty kick from New England's Lee Nguyen knotted the match at 3. BUT! Jairo Arrieta stepped up in the 86th minute to bang home Tony Tchani's assist and put an exclamation point on the season's greatest offensive showcase.
Aug. 29: Tied at 1 and playing a man down at Philadelphia after Josh Williams' red card, most Crew fans would have been OK getting out of there with a draw. BUT! Gaven bagged a rebound goal in the 95th minute, sending the Crew home with a win.
Sept. 1: Scoreless through 72 minutes, things heated up in the wrong way with a Montreal goal at Crew Stadium. BUT! Chad Marshall evened the match in the 80th minute, and Renteria headed home a Federico Higuain cross in stoppage time for another literally last-minute win.
Sept. 19: This one also went scoreless for most of the match; frankly, it was downright ugly. BUT! Arrieta's canny redirect set up Justin Meram for an 89th-minute score that put the wind back in the Crew's flagging sails.
Sept. 29: After nabbing a 2-0 lead in the first half, the Crew was sitting pretty until Philadelphia fought back to a 2-2 deadlock in minute 86. BUT! Milovan Mirosevic (who was almost certainly offside, but let's keep that between you and me) launched a game-winning strike one minute later to seal another win — for the Crew and for manufacturers of blood pressure medication.

Long sultry brunette hairstyle with beautiful bangs
Interesting shades of brown slyly coax the eyes into taking a second, third and fourth look at this long, dramatically cut hairstyle. At first glance, a high-volume bob, complete with a full fringe, almost encloses the entire head , leaving only a wedge of the face visible. The straight tresses are chestnut brown, with hints of mahogany at the sliced and feathered ends of the bob and along the blunt, rounded edge of the fringe. An inner layer of hair trails silkily from beneath the bob, also layered at the sides to compensate for the reduced volume. Here, the different shades of brown are more evident in streaks.

Rogers City Lions sponsor Leader Dog in Training
The Rogers City Lions Club, at their first January meeting, voted to again sponsor another Leader Dog in Training.
The club sponsored Anchor, a yellow lab trained by Ray Ziegler, during the past year. Anchor has made many appearances in town, visiting the schools, the Nautical Festival and various Lions activities. He has made quite an impression on the community, but it is now time for Anchor to return to the Leader Dog School for the Blind in Rochester Hills to begin the next phase of his training.
Anchor will spend a few weeks being a puppy and socializing with other dogs at the facility and then move on to an intensive training regimen to continue training for his life's work.
Upon the return of Anchor early this month, Ziegler will be given his new puppy for the year. Club members submitted names for the puppy that were placed on a ballot. The club, in order to give the children in the area as sense of involvement and ownership in the training of the animal, sent the ballots to the schools in Rogers City, Posen and Onaway. The children then voted on the name they like the best. The votes were tallied and the winning name is Tanker. .
The club seized the opportunity of naming the dog to help spread the awareness of Leader Dog, the challenges of those with physical impairments, and the needs of the Leader Dog facility in Rochester Hills. Many considerations go into the raising of a Leader Dog, housing, feeding, training, breeding, trainers, and career change opportunities.
This year Leader Dog will embark on a huge project of refurbishing the kennels for the dogs. The current kennels have proven to be outdated for the animals. The new kennels will allow for more socialization between the animals, air conditioning and "common area" where they can play and exercise.
The Lions club, and hopefully the community, eagerly awaits Tanker's first visit. School visits will be arranged in the near future for the official "meet and greet" opportunity.

The world's largest underserved markets for mobile communications are in developing nations and regions. Asia, Africa, Latin America all have vast potential, but formidable barriers stand in the way. Among the most immediate: the low disposable income of most of the population. Low cost and ultra-low cost (ULCH) handsets are seen as part of the solution to that problem, and according to a new study from ABI Research the two categories together will see a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 24% over the next five years.
"The price of a ULCH handset is widely seen as critical to the tipping point for mass adoption in emerging markets. Handsets are rarely subsidized in emerging markets. The GSM Association has pegged the maximum desirable ULCH handset price at $25 through next year and at $20 for 2011-2012. I believe in 2013-2014 the top price for a ULCH phone will be no more than $15, which is feasible because some handset models are hitting that price today," said ABI analyst Michael Morgan.
Other inducements fostering uptake of mobile services in emerging markets include value-added data services using locally relevant content. Also helping: more enlightened attitudes among government regulators towards reducing taxes and tariffs on handsets and services.
However, emerging markets do present significant challenges. For handset vendors, the low prices mean margins so thin that profitability demands major economies of scale. Vendors must also control a wide IP portfolio and manufacture locally to control royalty, import and labor costs. The research shows that on all these counts, Nokia is the out-and-out market leader.
"Entry level handsets must deliver high value to low-income emerging market consumers who want good quality at low cost," the analyst said.

Zeltmann, Power Authority President, Named Chief Executive Officer
May 1, 2002
WHITE PLAINS—Eugene W. Zeltmann, president of the New York Power Authority, was appointed chief executive officer by Power Authority trustees at a meeting here Tuesday.
"Gene Zeltmann has done a superb job as president and chief operating officer," said Louis P. Ciminelli, Power Authority chairman. "We expect that he will bring to these new responsibilities the same aura of competence he always exhibits."
Ciminelli, who was elected chairman by his fellow trustees Tuesday, and Zeltmann assume responsibilities formerly held by Joseph J. Seymour, who resigned as chairman and chief executive officer to become executive director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. Seymour remains a Power Authority trustee.
Zeltmann originally was named president and chief operating officer by the board of trustees in September 1997.
At the Power Authority, Zeltmann has been a strong advocate for expanded research, development and implementation of energy efficiency measures. He has put particular emphasis on promoting workforce safety.
He is vice chairman of the board of EPRI (the Electric Power Research Institute).
He is active in a number of civic and educational organizations including the Board of the Boys and Girls Club of Schenectady; the Schenectady Symphony Orchestra; the Adirondack Scenic Railroad; the Albany chamber of Commerce; the Westchester County Association; the Advisory Board to the Johns Hopkins University Krieger School of Arts and Sciences and the board of the Westchester Community College Foundation.
Prior to joining NYPA—the nation's largest state-owned electric utility—he was appointed by Governor George E. Pataki to serve as a commissioner of the New York State Public Service Commission (PSC) in December 1995. Commissioner Zeltmann was named Deputy Chairman of the PSC on May 30, 1996.
Zeltmann had more than 20 years of international trade and government relations experience as an executive with the General Electric Company. He joined the company in 1967, serving in many senior management positions related to energy and environmental trade issues, market-development and communications programs, and operational and environmental planning.
Zeltmann graduated with honors from Beloit College, earning a bachelor of arts degree in chemistry and political science. He later received a master of arts degree and doctorate from Johns Hopkins University in physical chemistry.
Zeltmann and his wife, Susan, have two children, Laura and John, and reside in Clifton Park, N.Y.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (June 24, 2008) - USA Volleyball submitted its 19-player preliminary rosters (0-2 Form) to the FIVB for both indoor men's and women's volleyball teams competing at the 2008 Olympic Games. Only players on the preliminary rosters are eligible for the final 12-player Olympic Games rosters, which will be announced in mid-July with United States Olympic Committee confirmation to follow.
U.S. Men's National Indoor Volleyball Team
"We believe we have chosen 19 men who are not only great volleyball players but who work well together and have embraced our team philosophy." U.S. Head Coach Hugh McCutcheon (Christchurch, New Zealand).
The seven players who do not make the 12-man Olympic roster are considered alternates for the Olympic team.
Three players on the 19-man roster have played in multiple Olympic Games. Setter Lloy Ball (Woodburn, Ind.) has played in the last three Olympics and is still looking for his first medal. The U.S. Men finished ninth in 1996, 11th in 2000 and fourth in 2004.

U.S. Women's National Indoor Volleyball Team
The U.S. Women's National Team qualified for the 2008 Olympic Games with a bronze medal finish at the 2007 FIVB World Cup, the first qualification event. The team is currently ranked fourth in the world by the FIVB behind Brazil, Italy and Cuba.
The U.S. Women's preliminary Olympic Games roster has eight Olympians that has accumulated a combined 15 Olympic Games appearances. At age 35, middle blocker Danielle Scott-Arruda (Baton Rouge, La.) is attempting to become only the second women's indoor volleyball player to participate in four Olympic Games (Tara Cross-Battle accomplished the feat after the 2004 Olympic Games).
Among players attempting to make a third Olympic Games roster for the U.S. Women's National Team are outside hitter Logan Tom (Salt Lake City, Utah), middle blocker Heather Bown (Yorba Linda, Calif.), setter Robyn Ah Mow-Santos (Honolulu) and libero Stacy Sykora (Burleson, Texas). Other Olympic veterans who competed at the 2004 Athens Games are opposite/outside hitter Tayyiba Haneef-Park (Laguna Hills, Calif.), outside hitter Ogonna Nnamani (Bloomington, Ill.) and setter Lindsey Berg (Honolulu, Hawai'i).

According to FIVB files, Lang Ping will be moving into the company of former Hungary women's team coach Gabriella Kotsis as female coaches to lead teams into multiple Olympics. Kotsis led Hungary during the golden era of Hungarian Volleyball, leading the country into three Olympic Games (1972, 1976, 1980).
Lang Ping has Olympic medal experience as both a player and coach while competing in the United States. During the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, she led her squad to the gold medal over Team USA in the championship match. As head coach of the 1996 Chinese Olympic team that competed in Atlanta, Lang Ping guided China to a silver medal.
Assisting Lang Ping in coaching duties will be assistant coach Sue Woodstra, trainer Yong Li, technical consultant Tom Hogan and technical coordinator Diane French. Joan Powell will serve as the team manager for the 2008 Olympic Games. Dr. Chris Koutures has been selected as the team doctor, while Emery Hill, Jr., is listed as the medical support providing athletic trainer duties.

You win some and lose some, it happens. But, games like tonight are the ones that really piss the hell out of me.
Roll the tape:
1. Jason Michaels, dude, come on. Two nights in a row he gets thrown out on the bases ruining a potential big inning. Absolutely no reason you get throw out at 3B with NO ONE OUT AND HAFNER COMING TO THE PLATE.
2. And, another stupid baserunning blunder in the 6th when Michaels lined to 3B with one out and Blake got DOUBLED UP OFF 3B. Unreal. A line drive hit right IN FRONT of Blake....yet he fucking runs. Didn't they spend oodles of time in ST on baserunning? For God's sake, they have regressed!
3. WTF happened? The team appeare to be cruising through 4 innings......then all hell broke loose. Johnson completely lost it all at once....Betancourt, Mota, and Sauerbeck couldn't throw strikes, and Cabrera looks lost out there.
4. Speaking of which, we allowed NINE walks the final 5 innings. Nine. That is absurd....and a bad trend. We sure are walking a lot of hitters....namely the bullpen and Byrd.
5. Why is Broussard hitting against a LHer EVER? I called it. He'll take strike one down broadway, foul off the next pitch, and then watch strike 3 go right down the middle. Where was Perez in that at bat? 2 outs, a runner at 2B and we were down 7-5.....absolutely no reason NOT to PH for Broussard there and bring in Perez.

Center for Applied Mathematics
The Center for Applied Mathematics is currently working on several projects for industry, state government and Farmingdale State College. Student teams are working on the projects under faculty supervision. The projects are:
- The Embassy Industry Baseboard Heating Optimization Problem
There are three teams of students working on the project. The goal is to increase the amount of heat being generated from a heating element by 10% using the same amount of material or to produce the same amount of heat using 10% less material. The students visited Embassy Industries and had a factory tour. They learned how baseboard heating elements are designed, built, and implemented. The students met with an engineer who discussed the blueprint designs. Currently the students are working with a model using the method of fin efficiency to increase the baseboard heater's efficiency. Dr. Irina Neymotin is directing the project. The Fall 2000 report is available.
- The Route 110 Traffic Flow Model
A student team is constructing a traffic flow model to study the change in traffic density if a light rail system were to be constructed along route 110 or if staggered work times were implemented at businesses along route 110. The students have acquired data on current conditions on route 110 such as the average number of vehicles on various sections of route 110 for every one-hour interval of the day. They produced a questionnaire to ascertain public willingness to use possible new means of public transportation. Students from the Sociology Department helped produce the questionnaire. Both Sociology students and Statistics students are working together at about 30 places along route 110 to conduct the survey. The students are using the traffic flow software Mac Trans Highway capacity Manual. The team visited the NY State Department of Transportation to obtain information and possibly will work with the DOT on modeling the design of new ramps of access at the intersection of the LIE and Route 110. Dr. Carlos Marques is the Project Director.
- Forecasting in the Car Rental Industry
The students are analyzing a large data set from a car rental company to establish forecasting models for car rental demand. Predicting the accurate rental demand is vital to the company's daily operation. The project requires students to build rental demand forecasting models using either time series models ( moving averages, exponential smoothing) or regression models. The students must present and interpret their results. Dr. Yajun Yang is the Project Director.
- Statistical Analysis of Campus Issues
The students worked in teams on projects of interest to Farmingdale State College Institutional Research. The projects included: Quality of Life for Farmingdale State College Students, Farmingdale State College Food Services Analysis, Why Students Attend Farmingdale, Does Hours Worked Influence GPA? The data was organized and analyzed using Minitab. Dr. Lou Perone was the Project Director.

1. Trail Running in a War Zone: A Black Hawk helicopter pilot's daring evening jog on the FOB
By Jerry Smith
It's the end of another stressful day somewhere in Afghanistan, my second combat tour here, and I'm about to abandon my combat gear—boots, body armor and M-4 carbine rifle—for running shoes, shorts and a T-shirt. Even here, on a forgotten Forward Operating Base (FOB) in southern Afghanistan, you've got to get out and hit the trails, right?

I am actually an Evansville transplant…although at this point I have live in Evansville longer than I have lived anywhere else. So what does that make me? Hmmm. I was born and raised on the east side of Indianapolis. I first came to Evansville in the fall of '93 to start my college career at the University of Southern Indiana. After a few semesters of toiling in the "undecided" zone, I decided to try out communications. The rest, I reckon, is history. I started at 103GBF back in 1996 – you can thank (or curse) Sandman for hiring me. So here I am as the Promotions Director for 103GBF, plus your midday guy on-air from 9am-2pm. I am married to a woman I absolutely don't deserve, and together we have the two best kids in the world – without a doubt the best things I have ever created.

Mr. Speaker, the new fisheries act allows the minister to do an end run around recent decisions by the Supreme Court of Canada.
The justices ruled that the right to sell fish can only be extended when it can be proved that the sale or barter of fish took place on a regular basis prior to European contact and was central to the band's life and culture.
The new act allows the minister to defy the Supreme Court of Canada and pull fish for his friends out of the Liberal pork barrel.
The new act allows the minister to continue racially divisive native only commercial fisheries in defiance of the Supreme Court of Canada.
The new act allows the minister to keep his pork barrel activities to himself, as he is not required to publish details of the agreements.
The new act removes the public right to fish, a right guaranteed in law since the signing of the Magna Carta. The public loses its right of access to fish. The minister gets the right to give fish to his Liberal friends and do it in secret.
This government is not only willing to defy the will of the people of British Columbia, it is also prepared-

Mr. Speaker, I have with me today hundreds of letters which supplement the many phone calls I have received from Yukoners with regard to the cuts to CBC.
As we know, in the north in particular the CBC provides a national, international and local window for northerners on events as they occur. It also provides a voice for northerners that is obviously seen to be very much threatened.
Probably in my 10 years as a member of Parliament I have not received as many letters and as many phone calls as I have about the proposed cuts to CBC in the north.
The Liberal government in its red book stated clearly that it would provide stable multi-year funding for the CBC. It is a promise it must keep. The cuts to CBC north are particularly severe. We have already dealt with a $1.9 million funding cut by this government. CBC north is essential to the unity of this country and to the options for voices for northerners and for the information to be clearly seen from coast to coast.

Rose-Marie Ur Lambton—Middlesex, ON
Mr. Speaker, October 7 to 13 is National Family Week in Canada and the theme this year is rediscovering family strengths.
Building on the 1995 theme, families are forever, this year's National Family Week theme urges Canadians to celebrate the strengths and capacities of our families.
Where would we be without our families? For many Canadians there is no simpler or more fundamental question to answer. The guidance and the love that our families give us are essential to finding our own path to the future.
Rediscovering the many ways in which families support and help their members through life's changing circumstances, life's joys and sorrows brings us all back to the basics of what families are all about: caring, nurturing, supporting and developing the potentials of all their members.
During this National Family Week and all year long let us all pledge to rediscovery and celebrate the strengths and achievements of our own families and the families in our communities right across Canada.

Glen McKinnon Brandon—Souris, MB
Mr. Speaker, not one, not two, but three, yes three, communities from the Brandon-Souris constituency were chosen as finalists in the 1996 Communities in Bloom contest. Brandon, Boissevain and my home town of Virden, Manitoba were selected to represent three different categories at the national awards ceremony in Ottawa earlier this fall.
All three municipalities displayed their strong commitment to community green spaces, to environmental awareness which best represented our exciting Manitoba heritage.
Speaking from firsthand experience, Communities in Bloom has had an incredible effect on building community spirit throughout southwestern Manitoba.
Congratulations to everyone involved in organizing this program and in particular to the town of Virden, which was chosen national winner in its category.

Mr. Speaker, today is World Habitat Day, a day to reflect on shelter and its importance in our lives.
The conditions under which people live determine to a large extent their health, productivity and sense of well-being. We in Canada are fortunate to be among the best housed people in the world. We owe that enviable status to the efforts of such organizations as Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation.
Working with the industry and a host of governmental and non-governmental organizations, CMHC strives to encourage the development of more affordable and appropriate housing through such programs as affordability and choice today.
We also recognize the importance of helping people help themselves and are working with other organizations to develop the capacity of Canadians to meet their housing needs with their own resources.
I encourage my fellow colleagues and indeed all Canadians to join the United Nations in observing World Habitat Day.
Gun Control
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Philip Mayfield Cariboo—Chilcotin, BC
Mr. Speaker, we all know that the Liberals have no respect for the personal rights and freedoms of Canadians.
But thank goodness there is hope on the horizon. The Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and Yukon governments will challenge the constitutionality of the federal government's universal gun registry.
These five governments will ask the courts whether the registry violates the civil and property rights of Canadians. They will also argue that the registry will be an ineffective means of reducing crime, an inappropriate use of scarce tax dollars and will unfairly penalize lawful gun owners and users.
If it is clear to five different governments and if it is clear to most every Canadian that a universal gun registry will not reduce crime and will waste millions of dollars, it should be clear to the Liberal government. But it does not seem to care.
I challenge the Liberal government today to repeal its plan for universal gun registration. I challenge the British Columbia government to join with other provincial governments to help protect the personal rights and freedoms of Canadians.

Pierrette Venne Saint-Hubert, QC
Mr. Speaker, for the past 12 years, the Charles Lemoyne hospital foundation has hosted a Grand Prix Formula I hospital bed race known as the Ral-lit.
This rally attracts approximately 20 teams, each with 30 to 50 competitors racing in their mattressed racers.
Each runner must cover two kilometres of a total of 20 kilometres. For some the goal is to win, for others to participate. Some even try to beat the Guinness record of one hour, 9 minutes et 9 seconds set by a Longueuil team in 1989.
The 1996 edition was chaired by none other than André Viger, a wheelchair athlete widely admired for his courage.
The purpose of this event is to raise money for research and to buy medical equipment. It gives those who like unusual activities the opportunity to have fun on the south shore.
I wish to thank and congratulate the Charles-Lemoyne hospital foundation for organizing such a novel event.

Ovid Jackson Bruce—Grey, ON
Mr. Speaker, October is National Quality Month and I want to pay tribute to the men and women in the federal public service who are focusing on the needs of our most important clients, Canadians, and are thus contributing to getting government right.
Canada's public servants are achieving this goal by ensuring that federal programs and services are delivered promptly, dependably and accurately; providing services that are courteous and which respect the Official Languages Act; ensuring that the services provided are of good value for the tax dollars spent; and improving the services wherever possible, based on suggestions by Canadians.
This government is committed to innovation, to cutting red tape and unnecessary delays, and to delivering to Canadians the best possible services for their tax dollars.
October is National Quality Month and as such the Government of Canada salutes the efforts of our public servants to make quality management a cornerstone of our day to day activities.
Nelson House

Beryl Gaffney Nepean, ON
Mr. Speaker, time and time again the government has expressed concern and has initiated many measures to protect women and children from violence. Yet Nelson House, a shelter and refuge for abused women and children in Nepean, is in danger of closing its doors at a time when it is needed more than ever.
The seed for Nelson House was planted by me and a group of community members in 1989. A tireless group of volunteers nourished this seed and Nelson House opened its doors five years ago. Doors which have welcomed, a roof which has sheltered and walls which have protected from fear and violence must stand. These constitute a true home providing hope, strength and opportunity for a new life to those in need.
I thank the volunteers who have given of their time as subsequent board members of Nelson House and I urge all the players, the ministry of social services, the regional government, the staff, the committed volunteers in the community to work together to
ensure that Nelson House survives and continues to play the important role it has played over the past five years.

Carolyn Parrish Mississauga West, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise in the House today to share my ongoing and deep concern for the people of Bosnia-Herzegovina.
Despite the efforts of Canada and many other countries, the devastations of war remain: four million anti-personnel land mines in a country of two million people, 85 per cent unemployment and entire communities of destroyed homes and buildings. The lack of clean water, medical and dental care, electricity and basic sanitation is dehumanizing. I particularly mourn the young people who will never have the opportunity to finish school and hold a job, an entire lost generation.
I encourage this government to maintain our peacekeeping commitment. I also encourage more organizations such as Doctors Without Borders and most especially dental practitioners to continue their generous work over there. When the fighting stops the real human needs begin.
Breast Cancer

Pauline Picard Drummond, QC
Mr. Speaker, October is breast cancer awareness month. In Canada, over 17,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer every year. On average, every day 49 Quebec and Canadian women must face this shocking piece of news. Breast cancer kills over 5,400 women every year. Today, October 7, 15 women will succumb to it.
Groups such as the breast cancer society are working hard to find a cure to this disease. The causes of it are not well known, the treatment of it is all too often ineffective and hopes of surviving it come at the cost of severe mutilation, for some women.
Basic research in this area must go on. Treatment effectiveness must keep on improving to give hope and courage to the thousands of women faced with this terrible disease.

October 7th, 1996 / 2:10 p.m.
Sharon Hayes Port Moody—Coquitlam, BC
Mr. Speaker, today marks the beginning of National Family Week and, on behalf of the Reform Party, I want to commend all Canadian families for the vital role they play in the stability and survival of Canadian society.
Without question, the family is our most valuable institution and the heart of our social order. It is the place where children are brought into the world and cared for. It is where they learn, or ought to learn, trust, love and security as well as the values and behaviour that will make them good citizens and in turn good parents themselves.
The family is where our most deeply held beliefs are passed on to future generations. It is where social stability and prosperity begin.
That is why since its inception the Reform Party of Canada has recognized the importance of strong family units in building a successful society. The party's constitution states:
We affirm the value and dignity of the individual person and the importance of strengthening and protecting the family unit as essential to the well-being of individuals and society.
Put simply, families represent the future of Canada. It is in the best interest of us all to make sure they are healthy and thriving.

Peter Milliken Kingston and the Islands, ON
Mr. Speaker, today, we are paying our last respects to a man who, as Premier, governed Quebec for almost 15 years.
Robert Bourassa was and remains one of the prominent figures of the political scene in Quebec and Canada. He played a very fundamental role in the development of modern Quebec, a source of pride for all of Canada.
Robert Bourassa was a proud Canadian and a proud Quebecer. He worked harder than anybody else to re-establish and maintain the dialogue between Quebec and the other Canadian provinces.
This great man had an endless respect and affection for his province and his country. Today, in this House, we are adding our voices to those of millions of Canadians in order to say, with deep emotion: "Thank you, Mr. Bourassa".

Ronald J. Duhamel St. Boniface, MB
Mr. Speaker, over the weekend, countless people went to the Quebec National Assembly to pay their respects to Robert Bourassa.
He devoted his whole life to politics in Quebec and Canada and deserves a place in the history of our country. He was an open, accessible premier, a ardent proponent of consensus and consultation. More than anybody else, he made entrepreneurship flourish in Quebec and provided his province with a solid economic base. He
saw big and far and his vision of a modern and dynamic Quebec has since become a model to be followed.
In respectful silence, the Canadian people are now paying homage to this great man, who played such an important role in the history of Quebec and Canada.

Students may have returned to school months ago, but Florida Atlantic University's Lifelong Leaning Society is just gearing up for the fall semester. From traditional small college towns to universities in larger population centers, retirees have begun flocking to their alma maters to audit university courses and capitalize on the benefits offered. FAU's Lifelong Learning Center, with its stellar location in the heart of retirement-heavy South Florida, is certainly a fit for the continuing education concept and the active retiree population.
FAU's Lifelong Learning Society is a marriage of higher and continuing education. Lectures, seminars, workshops, performances and college courses are offered to the public (young and old) so citizens can plug in to the latest in science and technology as well as bone up on liberal arts. The lectures and courses offered by FAU's Lifelong Learning Society give students the opportunity tap into the college experience and put the finger to pulse of current affairs, all without the stress of midterms, finals and essays. Not to mention, it gives students and course auditors a unique opportunity to learn from each other's generations within a collegial atmosphere.
Led by FAU professors, visiting lecturers and adjunct experts, the Lifelong Learning Society offers noncredit, university-level courses in a multitude of subjects and interests in FAU's Jupiter and Boca Raton campuses. Courses and lectures run the gamut from foreign policy, history, science and current events to music, art, literature, philosophy and films, among others.
Running somewhat concurrently with the seasons (rather than a semester course), Fall 2012 one-time lectures and performances are picking up their stride at Jupiter's John D. MacArthur Campus. On November 1, Dr. Jack P. Hailman will lead the lecture "National Parks: America's Evolving Idea," followed by a concert by pianist Robert Prester, professor of the FAU course Deconstructing Jazz.
Jupiter's Fall 2012 four-week and eight-week courses have begun, with multiple courses running Monday through Friday, including "Fitzgerald and Hemingway" on Wednesdays from 12:15-2 p.m. and "The Rise of Turkey" on Thursdays from 7-8:45 p.m. For the course catalog of one-time Lectures and ongoing courses, see Lifelong Learning Society's website.
FAU's Boca Raton campus has been the model of lifelong learning since 1980, enriching not only the lives of its more than 10,000 active members but the university system as well. The campus offers a range of courses each day, such as "Music Americana: Mastery of the Art," "In the Land of Mink-Lined Pools: Hollywood Films about Hollywood," "The Middle East in Turmoil: Implication and Opportunities" and "The Elephant in the Room: India and its Regional Neighbors." Many courses have already begun, and more start the beginning of November. Four-week course schedules are also available. Check here for the complete schedule.
Boca Raton's Lifelong Learning Society's one-time special events continue through November with lectures such as "Making Sense of the American Civil War: Slavery to Emancipation" on November 8 and "Making Sense of America's Economic Crisis: Consuming Our Way to Economic Recovery" on November 15. Starting December 10, the Lifelong Learning Society changes gears for the distinguished lecture series, 16 two-hour long lectures and performances compacted into a four-day run. For the full course catalog, see Boca Raton's Lifelong Learning Society's website.
- The Winter 2013 courses and lectures are nipping at our heels, with classes beginning January 7. For complete course catalogs, click for Jupiter or Boca Raton.

November, Beautiful pizza!
I am wondering how much volume increase you get in this amount of time.
I would also love to know why you would prefer this short rise time over a longer slower rise. I am assuming it is at least partially because of the increase in enzymatic activity that you get with the elevated yeast levels.
I found some at the local Coborns Grocery and made some bread from it a week ago and was less than impressed with the outcome. Would have been better with some high glutin flour mixed in due to it turning out a bit flat
Thank you for bringing Ultragrain to our attention, November.
I did not bring Ultragrain to the attention of this forum. It was already discussed here: http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,2454.0.html
Those slices look good enough to eat!
I have read the Ultragrain website trying to figure out how that product compares with KA White Whole Wheat. Can you shed some light on the subject?

About the Author: Lindsay Krasnoff serves as a Historian in the Office of the Historian.
The Department of State's Office of the Historian in the Bureau of Public Affairs convened a conference September 29-30, 2010, on U.S. policy and the war in Southeast Asia, 1946-1975, with a special emphasis on the years of greatest American involvement in the conflict in Vietnam. Featured speakers at the conference included: Secretary of State Hillary R. Clinton; Dr. Henry A. Kissinger and Ambassador John D. Negroponte, participants in the Vietnam policy process; and the late Ambassador Richard C. Holbrooke.
The conference showcased and commemorated the completion of the Indochina/ Vietnam War documentary histories prepared by the Office of the Historian in the Foreign Relations of the United States series. In approximately 26 volumes, the Office of the Historian has printed over 24,500 pages of policy related documents. Transcripts and videos can be found on the Office of the Historian website.
Dr. Kissinger addressed the Nixon Administration's Vietnam War policy, stating that "most of what went wrong in Vietnam we did to ourselves," and that he was "absolutely unreconstructed" on this point. Ever the realist, he argued that a key lesson from the war must be that when the United States goes to war it must do so as a united country and with a "global strategic analysis that explains to us what the significance of this [going to war] is." He called the conference, "an extraordinary, moving experience in my life."
Ambassador John D. Negroponte, similar to the other speakers, focused on lessons learned from the war. The central one, he concluded, "really goes to the question of Iraq and Afghanistan and many subsequent experiences for me, but I guess it's pretty simple. Be careful before you take the first step, because once you get in, then you just -- you lose a little bit of control about the next ones and the consequences. And it becomes harder to decide to disengage."
Ambassador Holbrooke's career started in Vietnam -- his first posting as a Foreign Service Officer -- and was an experience that influenced his thinking throughout his career. In Holbrooke's speech, he reflected on this experience, concluding that "our goals in Vietnam did not justify the immense costs of the war. Nor do I believe that success was denied to us because of domestic events and lack of patience on the part of the American public." In short, "success [in Vietnam] was not achievable. Those who advocated more escalation or something called, 'staying the course,' were advocating something that would have led only to a greater and more costly disaster afterwards."
The program included a panel on the role of the media on the Vietnam War to explore the impact of the press on public opinion and U.S. policy. Marvin Kalb moderated the panel, which consisted of journalists Morley Safer, William Beecher, and Edith Lederer, all of whom reported from Vietnam or about the Vietnam War, as well as the late Barry Zorthian, former Director of Media Relations at U.S. Embassy Saigon. Succinctly summing up the subject, moderator Marvin Kalb said, "I think that you have to have lived on Mars to have missed the central role that the media played during the Vietnam War."
Other panels featured thought-provoking presentations by leading American and international scholars on topics such as force and diplomacy, counterinsurgency and pacification, the United States and its allies, and the war at home.
This conference, aided by the recollections of participants in the policy process, such as Dr. Kissinger, and Ambassadors Holbrooke and Negroponte, by documents in the Foreign Relations series, and by presentations of the most recent research by scholars, provided a special opportunity to re-examine the formation, development, and consequences of U.S. policy in Indochina and the Vietnam War for America and the world. Those in attendance broadened and deepened their knowledge and understanding of the war in Southeast Asia, as will those who read and study these videos and transcripts online at the Office of the Historian website.
Susan C. in Florida writes:
In response to the comment that when we go to war we must be "united" as a country, let me remind everyone that we were united as a country at the beginning of our involvement in Vietnam. I personally knew many young men who joined up because they believed they were defending our country against communism and the so called "domino" effect in Southeast Asia. It was when the people of our country began to realize the truth about Vietnam that the protests started. It is almost insulting that some of the individuals who were involved in the very decisions that put us in, and kept us in, Vietnam are now saying we made a big mistake. I lived through this period of our history and what I remember is the sacrifice of more than fifty-eight thousand Americans and their families. It was more than a mistake. It changed our country, and we are still living with it today.
