Perhaps, IBM does not exactly want to produce chips in volume, however, the company is still interested in research and development of new materials and process technologies. The company reaffirmed its interest in chip R&D by letting Michael J. Cadigan, general manager of IBM microelectronics business unit to become chairman of the SOI Industry Consortium.
The SOI Industry Consortium, a not-for-profit organization aimed at accelerating innovation and adoption of energy-efficient silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology, on Thursday announced new additions to its board of directors: Michael J. Cadigan, general manager of IBM Microelectronics systems and technology group, as the new board chairman; Simon Segars, executive vice president and general manager of physical IP division at ARM ; and Laurent Malier, chief executive officer of CEA-Leti, as its new treasurer. André-Jacques Auberton-Hervé, chief executive officer of Soitec, continues to serve the SOI Industry Consortium as chairman emeritus.
"We are extremely pleased to have Mike, Simon and Laurent join us to help shape the future of our organization and our collaborative efforts to promote and develop SOI's low power capabilities. We would like to thank our outgoing chair, André-Jacques Auberton-Hervé for his outstanding leadership in the development of the consortium. Thanks also to Tom Lantsch, from ARM, who has served us well as treasurer of the board, and to Mark Ireland for his outstanding support representing IBM on our board for the past three years," said Horacio Mendez, executive director of the SOI Industry Consortium.
The new appointments clearly indicate that ARM and IBM are truly interested in advancing SOI manufacturing technology, which may mean that the former is interested in adding performance to its processor technologies while maintaining their low power consumption thanks to SOI, whereas the latter may be very interested in continuing researching various process technologies to make semiconductors. In any case, both nominations underline the importance of SOI in general.
Current members of the SOI Industry Consortium board of directors are:
- Michael J. Cadigan, chairman; IBM Microelectronics Systems & Technology Group;
- Laurent Malier, treasurer; CEA-Leti;
- André-Jacques Auberton-Hervé, chairman emeritus; Soitec;
- Horacio Mendez; SOI Industry Consortium executive director;
- Simon Segars; ARM;
- Udo Nothelfer; Globalfoundries;
- Michael Mendicino; Freescale Semiconductor;
- Joel Hartmann; ST Microelectronics;
- C.S. Yeh; UMC.

Bills of Exchange Act
Routine Proceedings
10:05 a.m.
Libby Davies Vancouver East, BC
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-374, An Act to amend the Bills of Exchange Act (rights of bill holders).
Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for Welland for seconding my bill today. I am very pleased to rise in the House to present it.
The bill is a little complicated and hard to explain but it is actually a very simple issue. It springs from a flaw in the Bills of Exchange Act, which is federal legislation governing financial transactions that dates back to the 1890s. The purpose of my bill is to prevent the cashing of cheques by a cheque-cashing business when the cheque has been cancelled by the person who wrote it. I know that sounds a bit convoluted but I will explain it.
This would apply, for example, to people who have hired someone to do work on their house, realize there are complaints of fraud, cancel their cheque and then the person who was doing the work goes to a Money Mart or a cheque-cashing business and cashes the cheque. When the cheque-cashing business realizes that there was a stop payment on the cheque, it goes to the homeowner to collect, even though homeowner did the proper thing. In dealing with cases in Vancouver, I found out there were dozens and dozens of cases where Money Mart had actually sued the homeowners for doing the right thing and putting a stop payment on the cheque when they realized there were improper things going on and yet cheque-cashing businesses went after the homeowners.
This bill would simply correct that. It is something that dates back to the 1890s. We need to ensure there is consumer protection when people have shown due diligence. The purpose of this bill is to ensure that cheque-cashing companies also show due diligence in terms of how they conduct their transactions.
I hope that makes sense. Once people understand it, they realize it is very common and we need to take action on it. I hope members of the House will support the bill.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed)
Canadian Broadcasting Corporation
Routine Proceedings
10:05 a.m.
LaVar Payne Medicine Hat, AB
Mr. Speaker, it is a pleasure to stand and present a petition from people right across Canada calling for the de-funding of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
The petitioners want to ensure that the government is aware that the sum of $1.1 billion given by the Government of Canada to CBC does present an unfair advantage to CBC over its competition in the private sector.
Therefore, these petitioners call upon Parliament to end the public funding of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
Falun Gong
Routine Proceedings
10:10 a.m.
Libby Davies Vancouver East, BC
Mr. Speaker, I have the pleasure to introduce a petition signed by residents in metro Vancouver. It concerns the Falun Gong, which is an organization and a practice we are all familiar with, which is the peaceful and beneficial spiritual practice centred on the principles of truth, compassion and forbearance.
The petition draws to our attention the persecution of these practices and people in China and calls on the government to use every possible channel to call for an end to the persecution of Falun Gong, especially at meetings with Chinese leaders and at international forums, and to help rescue 12 family members of Canadian residents who are incarcerated for their belief in Falun Gong in China.

Judy Foote Random—Burin—St. George's, NL
Mr. Speaker, I rise with pleasure to present a petition on behalf of constituents in the riding of Random—Burin—St. George's for the continued funding for the CBC.
In line with the number of "whereas" clauses giving reasons for their support, the petitioners call on the Government of Canada to maintain stable and predictable long-term core funding to the public broadcaster, including CBC Radio and Radio-Canada in support of their unique and crucial roles.
I could speak to the importance of CBC, particularly as a former employee, but, as well, because of the relevance of the programs, programs such as the Fisheries Broadcast which is heard throughout Newfoundland and Labrador, particularly in rural communities. In some cases, it is the program that connect fishers from one part of Newfoundland and Labrador to the other.
In terms of the importance of CBC and the programs that it offers, I concur with the signatories to this petition and call on the government to recognize the importance of the CBC to Canadians from coast to coast to coast.
Search and Rescue
Routine Proceedings
10:10 a.m.
Jack Harris St. John's East, NL
Mr. Speaker, I have the honour of presenting a petition from a number of my constituents in St. John's East and in other parts of Newfoundland and Labrador, including from the riding of the member for Random—Burin—St. George's, calling on the government to reinstate and change the decision to close the marine rescue coordination centre in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador. This Newfoundland and Labrador region has the highest proportion of distress incidents in Canada, responding to an average of 500 incidents a year, involving 2,900 people and saving the lives of some 600 people in distress at sea each year.
This centre is responsible for 900,000 square kilometres of ocean. The staff there have a unique knowledge of that area of ocean and coastline, as well as the people who work on the oceans, fishers, boaters and other workers.
It is very important that this be maintained. The petitioners are calling on the government to do that.

Ghost -- St. Paul, MN -- January 25th, 2012
The greatest show I have ever been to that had had absolutely no double bass.
I got in line about 10 minutes before the doors opened and I felt like an instant celebrity. Since my last show at Station 4 seeing Protest The Hero, Scale The Summit and Last Chance To Reason on November 30th, people remember me now, they know my name and they wanted to talk to me (I think thank my show and KFAI for all of that) This was the first show that I felt almost like a local celebrity. It's a fucking cool feeling. Before you say it trust me, my own body won't let me have an ego, so I won't be turning into an egotistical asshole quite yet.
The first band up tonight (I got in the front the whole show (Giggity), was Ancient Vvisdom. They are one of the coolest bands I've seen live. The singer/Drummer impressed the hell out of me. He had a set up of snare, floor tom and 2 cymbals...that's it. They are what would happen if Alice In Chains made Jar Of Flies over and over, much darker and more satanic. It was fucking awesome live. It's very strange at first, in face in one of the pics you'll see he has chains in his hand instead of a drumstick bashing the fuck out of his cymbals. It was quite an experience. I'll be playing them on my show Tuesday.
Next up was Blood Ceremony (More on these guys after I'm done with Ghost). Again my mind was blown. Lead Singer/Organist/Flutist /Overall very damn sexy, Alia O'Brien.....I'm simply amazed at her talent. switching from vocals to Flute to Keyboard organ in seconds. And she is damn good all of them, as of course the rest of the band. They are a definitive 70's Ghost style Evil Satanic Classic Rock style sounding band, and I love every second of it. Straight out of the 70s Rock era. One guy in tyhe crowd said that they were a Satanic Jefferson Starship....I think they are an evil Jethro Tull with female vocals. Again I'll get back to them, but they are absolutely killer.
Then finally..............GHOST!!!
Ghost was everything I wanted and more. Yeah people bitch about 9 songs, but honestly, once you are there, you won't give a fuck at all, they make up for only having 1 album and no EPs. They are about 20x heavier live then on record, which has that 70's Rock vibe to it. Live, it's fucking brutal in every good way possible. As I've been telling people, Ghost is if King Diamond joined Blue Oyster Cult. They are even more spot on then on record. Although before they got on stage they did go fucking overboard on the fog machine, but it did make for some good atmosphere (I wish my face wasn't in front of the fog machine, haha) Honestly for only 9 songs and under an hour (I think it was about a 45-50 minute set altogether including 2 short banters). No one wanted them to leave after the last song, but again, they don't have any other material yet. These guys have been blowing up everywhere. If they aren't doing Stadium/arena tours...or at least theater tours by the end of 2013, the world is fucked!
After the show I was dillusional to think I could get some station IDs from ghost before I realized....wait, how the fuck will I know who is in Ghost? SO I gave up on that almost immediately. But yes the Mastodon/Opeth/Ghost Tour is happening in April, that's all I know....sadly....that's all I know.
So after that I saw 3 of the members of Blood Ceremony and I instantly had to talk to them. I first talked to Alina, again, she is just smokin' hot! I got to talk to her about 5-10 minutes about music in general and future plans (Possible headlining tour at the end of the year also recording a new album at the end of the year). She graciously did a station ID for me and everyone in the band was very interested in the radio show (I hope they'll be able to tune in.) I was then able to get one from Lukas (Their bassist) as well and again for 10 minutes or so just talked music, the radio show, Lukas's radio show and all the upcoming stuff I eluded to before. They are all really damn cool, and I'll be playing them on Tuesday (I had the perfect playlist for Tuesday but I'm making a brand new one for Blood Ceremony, Ancient Vvisdom and Kyng, and 7 other songs).
So now the part that most of you will care about, the pics and set setlist....here you go folks! (Sorry for a few of the pics being blurry, its the best I could do)
(Shirts were 25 bucks, 3 different shirts. I want with the most Kvlt!)

That Drummer Guy's Reviews, Interviews, Playlists, Radio Shows, & Social Media:
Seriously I've been getting fat jokes since I was fucking 9. This doesn't even phase me.
I'm 6ft 4in and 220lbs. I literally just put on that shirt just to take a picture since I Have nothing to hang it on. And I look fucking sexy. and will look sexier once I get the shirt washed so it fits better.
I guess Magson just doesn't like what he sees anymore.
That Drummer Guy's Reviews, Interviews, Playlists, Radio Shows, & Social Media:
The 13 dates of doom shirts are nice, bought both styles at the MA show
Concerning the smoke machines... I happened to be in the same situation when I saw Alice Cooper and Dispirit, both times I felt like I was going to fucking pass out from the amount of fog around me
9/24 Beirut
10/18 Opeth
10/19 The Tallest Man on Earth
11/5 Titus Andronicus
11/22 The Vaccines
Excellent review as usual, MPF. I was at the show as well. Some observations:
*The Ancient Wisdom frontman seemed like sort of a douche.
*Blood Ceremony was great. Been a long time since I was impressed by an opener like I was by Blood Ceremony last night.
*Ghost's sound is a much bigger kick to the nuts live than it is on CD. Don't get me wrong, they sound great on CD, but they take it to another level live. Amazing.
*However, if you think they'll be headlining arenas or stadiums any time soon, I have some land in Florida I'd like to sell you
*I've been going to shows in Minnesota for about 20 years. Minnesota metal fans have gotten really damn quiet at shows the last five years or so. The silence between songs makes it sound like you're at church instead of a metal show sometimes. I don't know if the new generation of fan is just lame, or if the older generation just got old and doesn't feel like making noise any more.
*God Station 4 is a dump. With all the shows they have, you'd think they're making at least a little bit of money and could afford to fix the place up a little bit. When I become rich and famous, I'm buying that dive, knocking out the wall that separates the bar from the stage area, and putting in a nice balcony. I'll also patch the holes in the ceiling and figure out some way to get rid of the goddamn support beams in the middle of the stage.

Vegetarian and Vegan Diets
Many women who follow a vegetarian or vegan diet are concerned once they get pregnant that their diet will not provide all the necessary nutrients for the baby. Rest assured, with a little extra effort and planning, a vegetarian or vegan diet is safe for you and your baby.
Your need for certain nutrients increases during pregnancy, so it's important you eat nutrient-dense food and stay away from empty calories. You should consume approximately 300 additional calories each day and 10 additional grams of protein while you're pregnant. One of the greatest misconceptions about vegetarianism is that practitioners must struggle to consume enough protein. However, as long as your diet is varied and nutritious and you are consuming sufficient calories, you probably get more than enough protein, and the additional protein you need while pregnant can be achieved simply by drinking 2 cups of soy milk, eating 3-1/2 ounces of extra-firm tofu, 3 ounces of tempeh or one large bagel. The total 71 grams of protein you need each day during pregnancy can be satisfied by eating one cup of tofu, four cups of brown rice, one cup of yogurt and drinking three cups of milk or soy milk.
Legumes (beans and peas), nuts, and seeds are good sources of protein and other important nutrients; so try to eat four servings a day. You should also eat six to 11 servings of whole grains such as brown rice, oatmeal, or whole wheat bread; and if you eat these along with legumes, you will get the amino acids necessary for a complete protein. Eat four servings every day of foods rich in calcium and vitamin D, such as cow's milk or calcium- and vitamin D-fortified soy milk, and eight to ten servings of fruits and vegetables.
Other important nutritional issues vegetarian moms-to-be should be aware of include:
Calcium - Calcium is crucial for developing bones and teeth. To maintain healthy calcium levels, be sure you consume plenty of dairy products (if you eat dairy), enriched soy or rice milks, calcium-fortified orange juice and breakfast cereals, and vegetables such as kale, collards, broccoli, cabbage, and legumes.
Vitamin D - Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium and your vitamin D requirements double while you are pregnant; however, vitamin D is not found in many foods naturally. Therefore, look for fortified milk (cow's, soy, and rice), cereals, and orange juice. In addition, you can reach your necessary levels of vitamin D by exposing your hands and face to the sun for just 20 minutes, two to three times a week. Go out early or late in the day when the sun is weakest, and do not use sunscreen (although use of sunscreen is recommended at all other times).

In Years Past
100 Years Ago
In 1913, at the Washington Garage in Jamestown there was an exhibition of low and medium priced cars that would cause auto enthusiasts to pay the place a visit – soon as the news became public. The Studebaker "25," one of the new cars, would attract particular attention on account of the high grade and low price. This car would sell at $885. It was fully equipped, finely upholstered and the workmanship was the same as that in the highest grade of Studebaker cars. Experts had declared that this car embodied all the features that had made the highest priced autos famous. And the Rambler was the auto that had no competitors. The long wheel base, large wheels and luxurious upholstery, the concealed dash lamp, the separate utility wheel, combined with the special motor system, which gave one the advantage of two independent running systems, in fact, every detail that auto owners had longed for, made this car as near perfect as it was possible for the makers to produce.
In Washington, trouble big and little stood in the way of the victorious Democrats. And it might be said without exaggeration that just at present it was the little affairs that were giving the Democratic statesmen the greatest worry. The big things, like reducing the tariff and the high cost of living, suppressing or curbing the trusts, reforming the currency, granting independence to the Philippines and a few more important matters could wait and would involve consideration and debate. But right at hand was the distribution of important places in the federal government, the organization of the senate, the settlement of who would be the big and little bosses and quite a number of lesser things.
75 Years Ago
In 1938, Erie County deputy sheriffs crawled about in a narrow gypsum mine tunnel near Clarence Center, collecting dirt in search of clues to indicate how a 52-year-old miner died there four years previously. Police started the search for new clues after Joseph Wieszorak identified the skeleton found in an abandoned passage of the mine, 55 feet underground, as his brother, Anthony Vinzolak, 52, who disappeared in November 1933. The identity of the skeleton was made through bits of clothing on the bones. Vinzolak, a native of Poland, came to the United States in 1910. He had walked out of the rooming house where he was staying one night and was never seen again. He was a loader in the mines. Vinzolak was separated from his wife and two children. It was learned his wife had died and the whereabouts of the children was unknown. A mine worker stumbled on the skeleton while inspecting the tunnel which had not been used for eight years.
Four youths were arrested Saturday by Chief of Police Merton Pratt of Celoron on charges of breaking into the Lakeview Candy Company's building in the West Lake Road, West Ellicott, early on that morning. According to Chief Pratt, the four boys broke into the candy shop through a delivery door on the side of the building. They were accused of stealing a quantity of candy and money from the cash register. The sum of $28.15 was recovered according to Chief Pratt.
50 Years Ago
In 1963, a boost in 1963 city taxes appeared almost a certainty as Jamestown City Council hastened to complete its budget-making chores by Monday night. There was no official statement on the status of the budget but councilmen were reported glum about any chances of keeping this year's fiscal outlay within the bounds of 1962's record high figure of $6,602,293. Some sort of an upward adjustment in wages for the city's 600 employees also seemed assured.
The sale of the Firestone Store and property at Third and Prendergast in Jamestown to Norman Klickner of Erie, Pa., was announced by company officials. The business would be operated by Mr. Klickner as a home-owned store and would continue to carry Firestone products. The store formerly was owned and operated directly by the Firestone firm. The name of the store would be changed to the Allegany Tire Sales. The Firestone store had been located at 228 E. Third St. since 1943. Prior to 1943, the business was located at East Fourth Street and Prendergast Avenue in a building that was presently occupied by the Greyhound Bus Company.

Global Education recognizes the importance of preparing faculty and students for international education experiences. We organize mandatory and optional workshops for faculty leaders designed to provide relevant, practical information that support program objectives.
Global Education will work with faculty leaders to address their concerns and prepare them to maximize the experience abroad. Additionally, several experienced faculty leaders have volunteered to support their colleagues leading programs abroad. Faculty and staff members who lead Global Study courses must participate in one of the "Survivor: Travel Study Edition" workshops organized in conjunction with the Center for Faculty Development. These workshops include information on risk management, student intercultural growth, managing program logistics, insurance information, and more. With a combination of new program leaders and faculty members with years of experience, the sessions have real-life applicability and lively interactions.
Additionally, each Spring we conduct a Mental Health workshop with the support of the university's Counseling Center. Occasionally, OGE and OIA will organize workshops of interest to faculty and staff on subjects such as International Risk Management, Assessment in Study Abroad, etc.

Persistence pays off for Swentik, Beck in local USBCA tournaments
If you were trying to get hold of Steve Swentik of Marquette and Don Beck of Negaunee on a February weekend, you were probably out of luck.
The pair took advantage of a new division in the Marquette County U.S. Bowling Congress Association tournament and each won multiple titles because of it.
During three of the month's four weekends, the two bowled in just about every category of the all-ages Open division and the newly formed 55-years-and-over Senior division. Both won a title in each division.
Association board members, of which I'm one, have offered the all-comers Open division and several versions of a restricted category as a way to draw out more than just the highest-average male bowlers from Marquette County to this annual event.
We, and I'll readily admit to taking credit where credit's NOT due, have finally hit paydirt with the Senior division. We tried a women's division last year and previous to that, a lower-average division, but without much success in drawing many entries.
Despite a 100-percent handicap rule that should give no advantage to the cream-of-the-crop bowlers, it's understandable how someone with an average average would feel intimidated and just plain ol' not feel they have a chance.
In fact, the big-average guys – with a few top women bowlers, too – have dominated the upper echelon of this tournament's standings for years.
Most all 210- and 220-average bowlers get that way and stay that way not by shooting 640 or 650 week in and week out, but by bombing multiple high 700 series or even an 800 or two when all the stars align. It makes up for that 530 or 540 clunker they throw once in awhile.
And the motivation for a big score is there when good money is on the line.
But the new Seniors division actually had just a few more games bowled than the Open division this year, and quite a number of seniors crossed over and tried their hand with their youngsters, too.
That was a literal description in Swentik's case, as he won the Open doubles crown with his son, Wyatt Swentik. Beck found somebody young enough to be his son, Chris Hytinen, and they were the Open doubles runners-up.
Each division had team, doubles, singles and all-events categories, with three games bowled per event, though all-events simply combined the scores of the other three events.
The Swentiks rolled 1,237 together over six games in doubles, and with handicap, had a 1,504 score. Beck and Hytinen came in second at 1,434 – 1,240 of it actual pins.
Steve Swentik also was a member of the winning Senior team with Joe Duckworth and Mike Trickey, shooting 2,212, including 1,870 actual.
Beck swept the all-events titles, both Open and Senior. His Senior win was the closest, by 14 pins, with 2,251. His actual scores were 591 in team, 669 in doubles and 613 in singles. For the Open, he had a 64-pin victory with 2,194, with 593 in team, 624 doubles and 599 singles.
While Swentik bowled 15 games over five different categories, Beck actually found time to roll 21 games over three weekends, hitting every category once, and one of them, Senior doubles, twice with two different partners. Beck was also second in Open singles and third in Senior doubles with John Marquess.
Here's some of the winning prize amounts – the Swentiks get to split $205 for their doubles victory, while his winning senior team trio will divide up $255.
Beck earned $94 for his Open all-events win and $77 for the same title on the Senior side.
One in four, or slightly better if the number of entries didn't divide evenly by four, earned prize money. Here's all the cashers, with place, names, total score (actual pinfall score in parentheses):
Team – 1st place, Team Bring It, Glenn Ayotte-Mathew Adams-Dave Stevenson-Justin Stephens, 2,835 (2,714); 2nd, Pinbusters, Chuck Pool-Kathy Parent-Tom Seeke-Andy Pool, 2,797 (2,419).

I found myself very conservative in certain aspects. In the past I didn't want to even try cold brewing, because I always thought, what a waste of tea!
But then I got this si ji chun oolong that I really dislike It has large, older leaves and becomes bitter after 1-2 infusions. I could smell some fragrance from the gaiwan lid, but in mouth, everything is shaded by bitterness.
I didn't know what to do with it until I realized this would be the good subject for trying out cold brewing So I finally stepped out of my frame and cold brewed it, and it turned out great! The bitter flavor wouldn't be dissolved in cold water at all! Now this tea becomes a good office tea
I still wouldn't cold brew any of my favorite oolongs that turn out good in hot water (still think cold brew is somewhat wasteful). But the take home message is, if you don't like a oolong, try cold brewing before throwing it away

The GridWise Alliance (GWA) and Smart Grid Policy Center (SGPC) have created the first ranking of states, based on grid modernization policies and activities, entitled the "Grid Modernization Index" (GMI). The purpose of this GMI is to evaluate and communicate the status of electric grid modernization in the United States. It also explains some of the relationships or connections between state policies and regulations, customer engagement, and utility investments in the modernization of the grid, given sometimes significant variations in state authorities, market structures, and business models. The GMI ranking system, or "scorecard," uses a clearly defined set of criteria to evaluate and convey the progress and impacts of this transformative set of improvements to the nation's electric infrastructure. This Grid Modernization Index consists of three components:
1. Policy: State policies and regulatory mechanisms that facilitate grid investment;
2. Customer Engagement: Investments throughout the state in customer–enabling technologies and capabilities; and,
3. Grid Operations: Investments throughout the state in grid-enhancement technologies and capabilities.
Data were gathered on 41 states and the District of Columbia. A distinguished Advisory Committee also assisted in developing and validating the GMI. This report highlights the 15 states that scored the highest, based on criteria defined for each of the three component areas. The report also identifies practices that were common across these states. Finally, it presents overarching insights acquired from having examined the data collected for all 42 jurisdictions.

Breville Toasters and Convection Ovens
Counter space is at a premium in most kitchens, so make sure you make the most of it with versatile appliances that can perform multiple functions. Breville toasters and ovens offer many features that allow them to multi-task or speed up food preparation. At Williams-Sonoma, we have a number of Breville toasters, ovens and other small appliances to help make your life easier.
The Breville Compact Smart Oven takes up very little space, but utilizes Smart technology with internal sensors to automatically adjust power and cooking time for you. It has enough room to cook a small pizza and offers eight preset functions. To cook food fast, use the Breville Smart Convection Oven, available in a bright cranberry finish. It's convection fan allows foods to cook up to 30 percent faster and it comes with baking and broiling pans as well as a pizza pan.
When you need a quick breakfast, the toaster is often the go-to appliance. However, with multiple hungry people to get the out the door, a line tends to form quickly at the counter. Our Breville 4-Slice Stainless Steel Smart Toaster allows you to toast up to four items at once, with individual controls for each pair of slots. The extra-wide design easily accommodates bagels and pastries, so each person can get exactly what they want. With the Lift-and-Look Touch Toaster, you can check on your toast mid-cycle, then adjust the setting as needed. It also includes an LED indicator so you can track your food's progress while you finish getting ready. Dedicate your counter space to the appliances that help you get the most done.

Head Coach Scott Tschetter has announced the roster for the 2012 Laker Volleyball Team.
"We have a very young squad this year; nine freshmen, one transfer student and one returning starter (Christy Wicks) from last season," he said.
Time will be essential for the Lakers.
"For the most part we are 6'0" at every position at the net," he said. "When our freshmen figure out our system and start to play with confidence we will have a very athletic, dynamic team on the floor."
The schedule might cause havoc on the veteran coach.
"DMACC and Iowa Central have several returning starters which should make them competitive teams," Tschetter added. "There are several new coaches in the region this year which will make preparation challenging."
Iowa Lakes' first home match is Aug. 28 at 7 p.m. in the Estherville gymnasium.
Front row: Kiara Garcia, Lexi Schneekloth, Dani Pettigrew, Lacey Schneekloth, Celeste Komanec
Back row: Maicee Allen, Brianna Ludwig, Christy Wicks, Nyariak Duop, Makenzie Mueske, Mariah Christian

About the Author: Ambassador Eric Goosby serves as the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator, leading all U.S. Government international HIV/AIDS efforts.
Earlier this month, the Obama Administration revealed an important new piece of its foreign policy agenda: a consultation document on the strategy for the Global Health Initiative (GHI). This document outlines the U.S. Government's operation plan for the GHI, emphasizing integration of programming, implementation of sustainable efforts, efficient approaches with positive results and collaboration among partners.
As described in the consultation document, the GHI will support partner countries in their efforts to improve the health of their people, with a particular focus on improving the health of women and children. As a cornerstone of the GHI, U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) is a critical piece of this initiative.
As a result of the remarkable successes the United States Government has achieved with partner nations against HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis in the past decade, the GHI seeks to expand existing U.S. Government commitments to broaden the impact of our activities upon broader health systems. As the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator, I welcome the GHI commitment to further PEPFAR's efforts in HIV/AIDS, and I look forward to building upon the tremendous successes PEPFAR has achieved.
Reflecting the principles of the GHI, under our new PEPFAR Five-Year Strategy, PEPFAR is transitioning from an emphasis on an emergency response to a sustainable one. To accomplish this, PEPFAR is working with partner governments to increase their ownership of, and capacity to lead, HIV/AIDS responses in country. Achieving this outcome requires a heightened effort to improve health systems at the country level. PEPFAR will deepen our work with countries to expand their capacity to deliver the health interventions they designate as priorities. As we build health systems, PEPFAR will also use these systems as a platform to directly support treatment for more than four million individuals living with HIV/AIDS, prevention of more than 12 million new infections, and care for more than 12 million individuals affected and infected by HIV/AIDS, including 5 million orphans and vulnerable children.
Cultivating a sustainable response to the range of global health issues is no easy task. The Administration is dedicating unprecedented funding -- totaling $63 billion over six years -- towards the GHI. This figure is nothing short of remarkable: compared to the preceding six-year period from 2003-2008, this resource commitment for 2009-2014 represents more than a doubling of funds. Included in this in an increase in funding for PEPFAR, allowing us to expand the reach and maximize the impact of our HIV/AIDS programming.
This initiative represents a new and innovative way of doing business for the U.S. Government, promoting coordination among agencies and programs to avoid duplication of efforts and maximize the impact of each dollar invested. As part of GHI, PEPFAR will work closely with other United States Government programs to build the efficiency and effectiveness of national health systems, strengthening their ability to meet the variety of health needs individuals face, including HIV-related needs.
The GHI prioritizes a woman- and girl-centered approach. Over the long term, improving the health of women acts as a positive multiplier, benefiting not only the health but the social and economic development of future generations. PEPFAR also embraces this approach in our strategy, recognizing the disproportionate impact of HIV on women and the centrality of women to the health of their families and communities.
The GHI principles also reflect the reality that improving global health outcomes is a shared responsibility, and emphasizes collaboration with country and international partners. To sustain the gains made on HIV, we will strengthen our partnerships with the multilateral community, non-governmental organizations and the private sector.
PEPFAR has accomplished great success since its inception over six years ago, and now as part of the GHI, I look forward to implementing President Obama and Secretary Clinton's vision to build on our achievement in the fight against HIV/AIDS.
Comments on the GHI consultation document can be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com. The deadline for comments is February 22, 2010.
MPetrelis in California writes:
This link takes you to my full blog about Goosby's essay:
Here are excerpts from my blog:
Let us all praise the U.S. emphasis on women and girls in the GHI and PEPFAR principles and programs. Their needs have not been adequately addressed ever, on all health-related matters, not just HIV/AIDS.
But why can't Goosby and the State Department also show some damn concern about gay men and HIV? Given the past year's turmoil and political harassment for gays in Uganda, Kenya and Malawi, where PEPFAR dollars flows, and gay men living with AIDS are doubly-stigmatized, we really need these U.S. officials giving visibility to gays.
Adding insult to injury, the PEPFAR consultation document that Goosby thinks is so wonderful, and will be the guiding force to the program, fails to mention gays or men who have sex with men once.
The outrageous invisibility created by the Dip Note blog post and the PEPFAR document greatly strengthen the stigma already faced by gay men and gays living with AIDS. If Goosby and the State Department are too chicken to say something, _anything_, about gay men and HIV in 2010, we have a clear example of a problem in need of addressing.
Wilson S. writes:
This is a very interesting post, and the comments are also fantastic to read. I'll have to have a little re-think about my own contact form on our new website, as this poses some interesting questions!
Dr. Clarence M. in South Africa writes:
Dear Ambassador Goosby, I could not agree with you more. PEPFAR has saved millions of lives in developing countries but in South Africa after our denialist politics it saved not only the lives of the ill and destitute AIDS patients but believe me it saved the lives of doctors and other care givers who were angry and some of them suicidal because of the helplessness they felt. I was one of them.
The Global Health initiative is taking off from there and giving us our pride back. In South Africa we are moving ahead with the formation of Public Private Partnerships. I work for the only Molecular Biology Laboratory PEPFAR partner in the world. We have recently signed a PPP agreement with the National Health Laboratory Service in South Africa.I met you at the department of health when you came down with the Clinton Foundation delegation. We support the GHI wholeheartedly. We will write a seperate email to you about the lack of support we are experiencing from fellow PEPFAR Partners
Tony E. in Nigeria writes:
please,As you people build health systems, PEPFAR will also use these systems as a platform to directly support treatment for more than four million individuals living with HIV/AIDS, prevention of more than 12 million new infections, and care for more than 15 million individuals affected and infected by HIV/AIDS, including 1 million orphans and vulnerable children.in the world like africa.

Beatle widow in memorial dispute
Saturday, 15 May, 2004
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainmen ... 717435.stm
A misunderstanding between the widow of former Beatle George Harrison and her local council over a memorial for the late star looks sets to be resolved.
Olivia Harrison wants a tribute in Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, where the pair lived for more than 20 years.
In a letter this week to the now former mayor, she said she wanted to pull out after press reports that councillors wanted her "kicked into gear".
But councillor Barry Edwards said the comments had been misinterpreted.
He said the remarks, attributed to his then deputy six months ago, were not intended to refer to her.
The comment referred to plans to revamp a flood-damaged area of the town riverfront, which had been one of Mrs Harrison's proposed sites for the memorial.
Waiting for decision
Mr Edwards said discussions with Mrs Harrison over the tribute for her husband, who died of cancer, would continue.
He said: "It must be what she would like to see because we are talking about her husband here, a very famous man, but her husband.
"The problem was whether we were doing something with this area or waiting until she came to a decision about what she wanted.
"Whatever was said was certainly said in the context of wanting to get this area tidy and clean and sorted out before we get visitors during the summer.
"Every member of this council is perfectly happy to see a memorial in the town."

Promoting U.S. business abroad and expanding U.S. exports is a top priority of the State Department and the Bureau of Political-Military Affairs (PM). Our work in the PM Bureau to expand defense trade with our allies and partners is critical to America's national security and our economic prosperity and is an important part of the State Department's economic statecraft efforts.
At the State Department, we advocate tirelessly on behalf of U.S. companies abroad -- and I have the frequent flier miles to prove it. It is no longer just our Ambassadors who promote U.S. defense trade. Senior State Department officials regularly advocate on behalf of U.S. bidders on foreign government and foreign military procurements. We do so when we meet with officials on our travels abroad, on the margins of international conferences, and in regular diplomatic encounters with and correspondence to foreign government officials.
These efforts are having an impact. Despite the global economic strain, demand for U.S. defense products and services have remained strong.
Government-to-government transfers through Foreign Military Sales (FMS) have exceeded $30 billion for four consecutive years. Foreign military sales increased by approximately 9 percent last year, making FY 2011 the biggest year to date. Meanwhile, demand for the other major component of U.S. defense trade, Direct Commercial Sales (DCS), which involve countries purchasing systems directly from U.S. companies, also remain robust. Last year, the State Department received and reviewed over 83,000 DCS cases, the most ever.
A major reason for strong demand for U.S. defense products, despite the global economic downturn, is that countries want to partner with the United States. This Administration has worked aggressively to strengthen America's image, to build new partnerships, and strengthen existing ones.
Another reason is that we are increasingly reaching out to new partners and emerging markets. U.S. defense sales in India, for example, have grown from virtually zero to more than $8 billion over the past decade. We have also actively engaged Brazil, which is modernizing and expanding its military capabilities. Supporting these efforts and building on these ties is a major agenda item when I have visited both countries for political-military talks, as well as in my recent travels to Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore, which are also working to modernize their defense sectors.
Of course, expanding defense trade with our allies and partners not only helps countries better deal with shared security challenges; it also helps solidify our diplomatic ties and lock in partnerships. If a country is willing to cooperate in the area of national defense -- perhaps the most sensitive area for any nation -- they are more likely to cooperate in other areas as well. The complex and technical nature of advanced U.S.-made defense systems frequently requires constant collaboration and interaction training, maintenance, and upgrades over the life of that system -- decades in many cases. So, when a country buys an advanced U.S. defense system, they aren't simply buying a product. They are also seeking a long-term partnership with the United States.
This long-term relationship creates and sustains jobs here at home. For example, our agreement in December to expand our security cooperation with Saudi Arabia is projected to have a significant impact on the U.S. economy. According to industry experts, this agreement will support more than 50,000 American jobs. It will engage 600 suppliers in 44 states, and provide $3.5 billion in annual economic impact to the U.S. economy. This will support jobs not only in the aerospace sector, but also in our manufacturing base and support chain, which are all crucial for sustaining our national defense.
Still, we can do better. As we advocate abroad, we are also working to facilitate secure trade at home through a comprehensive overhaul of export controls on munitions and other items with military applications. Today's system operates under laws dating back to the 1970s, and for a company looking to sell products overseas means having to track and comply with regulations not only overseen by the Department of State, but the Departments of Commerce, Defense, Energy, Homeland Security, Justice, and the Treasury. Today, all seven departments are working toward a common-sense solution that keeps sensitive technologies safer while helping U.S. industry, in particular small companies, more successfully navigate export controls.
Countries want to buy the best. And to get the best, they rightly turn to U.S. defense systems. This Administration has worked hard to support the U.S. defense industry abroad because it supports our national security and jobs here at home.

Bipartisan Respect
Don't just say it. Do it.
It's hard to take political pledges of bipartisanship seriously these days. Most such pledges are so disingenuous as to be laughable. Congress is incapable of working together. But here in Wisconsin we are nothing if not hopeful, and we hope that Governor Walker and legislative leaders Vos and Fitzgerald and Larsen and Barca are sincere in their pledges to work with each other in meeting the needs of the citizens of this state.
Surely the issues confronting this state deserve bipartisan consideration. Jobs, education, taxes…real people are suffering and real leadership is needed. But equally important, honest bipartisanship would necessarily include a measure of respect and civility that has been absent for too long in our state. And that has undermined citizen trust and hope. And the real danger of not being honest about these pledges of working together is the disintegration of that hope altogether. We hope our leaders realize that.

A baker's dozen of pit bull puppies were found abandoned in Jackson, Mississippi, last week. Local news station WLBT-TV reports that the culprit left all of their personal information on the box they used to get rid of their pets. The Community Animal Rescue and Adoption (CARA) agency took the puppies in and began to provide for them as best they could.
The pups are still so young that they desperately needed their mother. Orphaned dogs can suffer from hypothermia, dehydration and hypoglycemia without their mother, according to VCA Animal Hospitals. Luckily, this story has a silver lining.
"We were bottle-feeding them, and the next day we went to close the box up and throw it away and found the name, address and phone number of people that actually did it," Janet Madden of CARA told the news source.
The staff at CARA went to the address listed on the box and persuaded the individual to give up the mother dog so she could continue to nurse her babies. Now, the pit bull puppies will be cared for properly. Soon they will begin receiving the proper dog vaccinations and de-worming protocols by a veterinarian to get the healthiest start possible in life.

DIY Whole Food Bars
Besides making the best deer jerky in the world, a friend and his family make their own whole-fruit bars—ideal for everything from a quick mid-run pick-me-up to fueling multi-day ultras or fastpacking adventures.
Says creator Susie Grothe of Madison, Mississippi, "We don't follow an exact recipe. We just put what we like in a food processor, and it changes every time we make them." After she and her son Chris reeled off some tasty ingredients and I did my own at-home experimentation, yielding the following delicious whole-food concoction:
- 2 cups pitted dates
- 1 cup flaked coconut, no added sugar
- 1 cup dried tart cherries, no added sugar
- ¼ cup coconut butter
- 1 cup raw macadamia nuts
- Pinch sea salt
- Two drops lemon juice
Blend all ingredients together in food processor
For long runs, shape them into bite-sized balls for fast, easy consumption. And, for all-day mountain adventures, wrap up large square chunks.

Great Live Moments - Clarence Gatemouth Brown
May 1, 2008. Posted by Joshua Jackson.Add new comment | Filed under: 2005 new orleans jazz and heritage festival, b b king, beale street, blues club, clarence gatemouth brown, Listening Post, Live Music, lobby fountain, mallard ducks, memphis tennessee, new orleans jazz, new orleans jazz and heritage festival, npr, peabody hotel, photojournalism, Places and Spaces, program directors, public radio program, strange things, waft, wbgo, webstream, wwoz
This photo of B.B. King and Clarence Gatemouth Brown was taken at the 2005 New Orleans Jazz And Heritage Festival. It's from "Last Days of Fame," a powerful piece of photojournalism by Jennifer Zdon.
Gatemouth and I shared a birthday, though we were separated by half a century. I first met him at WWOZ in New Orleans. He sat in our tiny on-air studio, his head buried beneath a black Stetson, his hands wrapped around a small pipe. The occasional waft of an illicit substance. This must explain the fact that, as Michael Bourne once discovered, Gatemouth Brown loves to eat grape jelly on everything...including steak. Strange things happen.
In 1999, I attended the Public Radio Program Directors conference in Memphis, Tennessee. The Peabody Hotel, as I recall, where mallard ducks marched through the hotel hallway (led by a man in a tuxedo, suggesting penguin not duck) and climbed a flight of custom-made steps into the lobby fountain. This was part of the hotel's daily schedule. Strange things happen.
I went to BB King's Blues Club on Beale street one night. Gatemouth Brown was performing live. WBGO and JazzSet were broadcasting the show. NPR's Bettina Owens threw a huge party to celebrate the fact that this concert was NPR's first live webstream! I had no relationship whatsoever with any of this, other than kid spectator. One year later, however, I was working on an NPR show. And the next year, I started working at WBGO. Strange things happen.
Listen to Gatemouth perform "Strange Things Happen," from the WBGO Archives.

Before the online world took over, I used to be a voracious reader of magazines. First it was YM, which I only read for the 'Say Anything' section when I was about 11-12 years old. Then it progressed to Seventeen, then Cosmo, and then Allure – the latter which firmly entrenched my love affair with makeup eternally. Often, I would pull pages out of a magazine with pictures that evoked a certain 'something' – I can remember papering my walls with Calvin Klein ads for DAYS (OMG this is bringing back memories!); the models all seemed to fabulous and mysterious. As I grew up, I instead began to pull makeup looks from the pages of my favorite mags, anything that piqued my interest visually and was just begging to be attempted.
Though I don't do this as often today (I have a subscription to only one mag now, and try to avoid buying any because – hello, internet!), I still do come across pictures in print that I clip out for future reference. I have a big photo album full of 'em now, tied together as a collage – each page with a different theme (YES I KNOW I AM ORGANIZED/OCD/CRAZY/WHATHAVEYOU). This morning I thought of my album and pulled it out to get some ideas for the day's look. What I decided on was this:
Every so often I go through the album and remove photos that I'm no longer 'feeling.' Amazingly, this actually doesn't happen very often – even though the span of these photos is over probably 7+ years, I still love most of them and they don't seem to become dated. The photo above is one of my oldest, and yet I think it's still as relevant today, and I still totally love it. A flash of blue liner and a stained pout – simplicity at it's best.
I wore this look today for the first time, and I'm pretty pleased with how it came out:
I did tone it down a bit by not bringing the blue all the way to the far inner corners; I was after all, at work today and my office isn't terribly 'creative' (I know, totally not what you expect for the GOVERNMENT, right? Ha). But otherwise, I actually think I captured the look fairly well. The liner shade is exceptionally close (though I suspect she's wearing liquid – while I used MAC's Petrol Blue Pearlglide liner). I think I even almost got the lip stain right (MAC's Bing Mattene lipstick), though it looks a little worn here because I reapplied and then forgot and ate some chocolate. Oops.
And an even more up-close shot:
I chose to bring the liner around to just the edge of my upper lash line, though I don't think she has that in the photo. I liked the effect though. Overall, I liked the look – I don't think I've ever worn anything like it, and it was a great way to use the MAC eye pencil as I'm trying to get rid of it (great shade, terrible wear on my eyes which tend to get smudgy at the corners). I wore an eyelid primer (NARS Smudgeproof) to prevent this from sliding down my face. I must admit, similar to my other blue look, I felt kinda badass wearing this, which is always a good thing in my books because if it gives you a little bit of a swagger, all the better 😉
So what do you think of the look? Where do you get your inspiration from? Do you get any benefit from these kinds of posts? Let me know your thoughts in the comments!

World's First Walkable Ecological Footprint
In addition to enjoying the myriad outdoor activities and striking natural beauty of Austria's Gesäuse National Park, visitors are now able to immerse themselves in the world's first walkable Ecological Footprint.
In July, the national park held the grand opening of its newest attraction adjacent to its Willow Dome Nature Center. Styled in the form of a labyrinth, the Ecological Footprint (Der ökologische Fußabdruck) garden invites visitors to discover the Ecological Footprint of their nation and their own lifestyles. Citizens, tourists, and school groups playfully explore the environmental impacts of various consumption habits (such as diet, clothing, shopping and energy use) and learn about more sustainable options.

Global Footprint Network Supports the Natural Capital Declaration
Global Footprint Network supports the Natural Capital Declaration, a commitment made by CEOs from the finance sector to integrate natural capital accounting into their financial products and services.
Global Footprint Network is committed to creating a world where everyone can live well within the means of one planet. It is going to take all of us pulling together toward this common goal. We recognize the need to push the frontiers beyond business-as-usual and to explore more integrated approaches to finance. As financial institutions are an integral part of the economy and society, initiatives like the Natural Capital Declaration are important to help lead the way.
