The new pendulum below is based on provisional voting figures from the end of counting on Monday 29 March 2010. These figures are now more final.
« Updated Federal Election Calculator | Main | South Australian Election Count Update »
The redistribution that occurs after SA elections will of course have to compensate for a govt that has won less than 50% 2PP and so these margins will be wiped out. It will of course convert a majority govt into a de jure minority govt.
Will tony Piccolo be punished like Fox was last time for doing well?
Antony, How does the redistribution requirement impact this pendulum? Does it mean everything from Colton (the swing seat)up needs to become notional Liberal under a redistribution given the 2PP vote?
COMMENT: I'd expect Light and Mawson to be given major boundary changes, and I suspect Bright. But we will have to wait and see the approach the Boundaries Commission will take.
what strkes me is the large number of marginal seats about 18. Also what will the next redistribution do ? Weaken labor by about 1.5 per cent.
COMMENT: We will have to wait and see what the Boundaries Commission considers to be the appropriate course of action.

Taguchi Method Of Quality Control
Definition of 'Taguchi Method Of Quality Control'
An approach to engineering that emphasizes the roles of research and development, product design and product development in reducing the occurrence of defects and failures in products. The Taguchi method considers design to be more important than the manufacturing process in quality control and tries to eliminate variances in production before they can occur.
Investopedia explains 'Taguchi Method Of Quality Control'
Genichi Taguchi, a Japanese engineer and statistician, began formulating the Taguchi Method while developing a telephone-switching system for Electrical Communication Laboratory, a Japanese company, in the 1950s. As a result of his success, he eventually became well-known in both Japan and the

Steubenville 6th Ward Councilman David Lalcich led off a regular meeting of Steubenville City Council's Safety Committee by asking Council to consider traffic cameras again for the city. A retired law enforcement officer asserts drivers don't pay attention to posted speed limits.
James Mavromatis, a retired federal agent, told the Safety Committee, "You've heard the phrase, that our own Ohio Highway Patrol uses, 'Speed Kills.' It does. And the bottom line is, Sunset's a drag way."
The initiative comes with no small amount of controversy. Steubenville tried traffic cameras back in 2005. Robotic cameras promptly wrote nearly 7,000 tickets with an $85.00 fine. A class-action lawsuit by local attorney Gary Stern, as well as an overwhelming referendum rejection later -- and the cameras disappeared.
Steubenville Police Chief Bill McCaffery says enforcing traffic laws with police officers takes his limited manpower away from preventing more serious crimes. "It's the same thing with, with I was speeding or running a red light, anything," he told the committee. "Nobody wants to get caught. But, you know, they vote on it, but yet, people call down my office complaining all the time about speeders. I mean, where I live. Or any of you live. You can look at the window, and go, 'Boy, I wish a cop was there.'"
Lalich says public safety matters most.
"People are looking for solutions. We have to free up officers. We have to get our school zones monitored for speeding. We don't have enough officers to monitor the zones. People are complaining about neighborhood speeding. We don't have enough officers to put in neighborhoods."
Third ward councilman Greg Metcalf dissents with Lalich. He pointed out residents overwhelmingly rejected the robotic cameras before. "I think it's a good idea to slow down the speeder," Metcalf said. "I think it's a good idea to protect our school zones. I just want -- I don't want to just say, 'We're doing this.' I want our citizens to have input."
At that point, other committee members chimed in, telling Metcalf, "That's what the three readings (of a proposed ordinance) are for."
City Law Director Gary Repella told council he had two residents call him already to place a referendum against the cameras on the ballot. Even so, committee members agreed the public should have a chance to speak at a public hearing on the proposal. While no date has yet been set, Mayor Dominic Mucci felt the hearing should take place at a location with a large auditorium, such as Eastern Gateway Community College.

P-Tn VideoRECORDS are the videotape equivalent of RoutePHOTO / RouteSCAN services that document pre-existing conditions on (or adjacent to) pipeline, street improvement, or building sites. Video enhances the imagery with full-motion viewing; depth perception is improved, both sides of objects are shown, and we stop to zoom-in for detailed close-ups of conditions. We describe our video with audio narration, constantly updating locations & viewing direction, and adding detailed technical descriptions of the on-screen conditions or damage; download flyer
We utilize full-size VHS and DV digital format equipment for our VideoRECORDS. Duplicates of all recordings are included, in VHS-format or DVD Disc, for television or computer playback.
All tapes are labeled with the project name and recording date - clearly marked as originals or duplicates. We include a field-log of videotape segments, to aid in finding video clips you wish to review. A notarized affidavit of authenticity is provided, to attest that your VideoRECORD was produced by an "objective third party" - a trained & experienced videographer, employed by an established professional firm; in P-Tn's case, with a 30-plus year reputation. Simply another form of 'Visual Documentation' for pre and/or post-construction protection, during-construction updates, and taping of equipment operation training sessions. As with P-Tn RoutePHOTOS, the experience, expertise, and thoroughness of the videographer in-the-field is the most valuable aspect of our service. |

I can't believe I have never updated my journal to say... successful vbac of a 8 pound 9 ounce baby boy on September 22, 2008! Woohoo! It was the most awesome experience of my life. My birth story can be found on the birthing naturally and the vbac support board.
I can't say that I've healed completely from the trauma surrounding my daughter's birth. I still feel guilty that she wasn't welcomed to the world with the same dedication, concern and support that my son enjoyed. But I did this for her as well. Mommy was able to pick her up in the hospital and let her sit in my lap to meet her baby brother... I could never have done that with another c-section.
I'm so happy that things went as planned. Next up... a home birth. ;)

How to keep from gaining weight during the holidays | Health
Title (Max 100 Characters)
The holiday season brings joy – but it doesn't have to bring unwanted pounds. Whether it's your mom's eggnog or Aunt Judy's homemade holiday cookies, it can be tough to pass up those favorite holiday foods you taste only once a year. After all, 'tis the season to indulge, right?
Before you reach for that next gingerbread cookie, Tri-Staters, think about this: Extra pounds can affect more than your ability to fit into your holiday party apparel – being overweight can also increase your risk for cancer and other diseases. This holiday season, choose to put your health first. To stay well, the American Cancer Society has some recommendations:
· Maintaining a healthy weight throughout life
· Staying active with at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity activity each week (or a combination of these), preferably spread throughout the week
· Eating a healthy diet emphasizing fruits and vegetables
· And limiting the amount of alcohol you drink.
Struggling with those during the happy – but often hectic – holiday season? Here are a few tips to enjoy a healthier holiday party:
Get off to a good start. Don't go to a party hungry. Snack on healthy, filling foods before you leave the house. If your stomach isn't growling, you'll be less tempted by high-calorie options. Good pre-party bets include a handful of nuts, an apple, or half a turkey sandwich.
Once you arrive, ask for a glass of water to help you feel full and avoid overindulging. And don't head straight for the food – make a point of greeting friends or introducing yourself to new people.
Think small. When it does come time to eat, use a small plate (such as for appetizers or desserts) and fill it first with healthy choices such as fresh fruit and veggies (going easy on the dip). Leave just a little space for a bite of whatever decadent treat you're craving, and eat that only after you've filled up on the more nutritious offerings.
Position yourself for success. If you're standing by the buffet table or facing the food while seated, you'll be tempted to graze. Turn your back to the table, and focus on having fun, not having food.
Avoid alcohol. Not only are alcoholic beverages loaded with calories, but drinking them tends to weaken your resolve to eat better. However, if you choose to consume alcohol, avoid heavy holiday drinks and stick with light beer or a glass of wine instead.
"In addition to making healthy eating choices this holiday season, don't forget to make time to exercise regularly," said Vicki Elliff, American Cancer Society health initiatives director for Indiana. "The flip side of eating more or indulging at parties is that, to avoid weight gain, you need to move more to burn those extra calories."
Help create a world with less cancer and more birthdays by staying well and encouraging friends and family to do the same. For more tips on making healthy food choices, staying active year-round, and reducing your cancer risk, visit cancer.org or call your American Cancer Society at 1-800-227-2345.

ACA enrollment numbers low for now, Sebelius tells Senate panel
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius conceded to a Senate Panel Wednesday that the Affordable Care Act healthcare exchange enrollment numbers for the first month will be very low. The numbers have yet to be released, but Sebelius said they would be released next week and include both Medicaid and health plan numbers in the new exchanges. "We are still at the beginning of a six month open enrollment which ends at the end of March," she said. "And there's plenty of time to sign up for the new plan."

War makes Congress more pliable for the president
Congressional voting patterns tend to shift in the president's favor during times of war--and the effect was especially strong during World War II and the post-9/11 wars, according to a new book on the wartime presidency. The book's authors--two political science professors and a Brookings Institution fellow--discussed their findings at a Brookings event Nov. 1.
USPS overpaid trucking contractors $9.9 million for fuel in 2009 and 2010, IG says
The Postal Service didn't identify and recover about $9.9 million in fuel overpayments to trucking contractors in 2009 and 2010 through its Voyager Card Program, which allows drivers to expense gas on a credit card, an Oct. 30 USPS inspector general report says. The USPS IG found that in 2009 and 2010 the Postal Service calculated and recovered $12.6 million in overpayments, but when the IG did its own calculations, it found $22.5 million in overpayments.
U.S. Marshals spent almost $800,000 on promotional swag, IG says
Between 2005 and 2010, the U.S. Marshal Service spent nearly $800,000 on promotional swag such crystal statues, scars and Christmas ornaments due to lax oversight, a Nov. 5 Justice Department inspector general report says. The IG found the USMS Investigative Operations Division spent at least $793,118 on promotional items that these expenditures were excessive and, in some instances, in contravention of department policies.
GSA to try out car-sharing services
The General Services Administration plans to experiment with car-sharing services as it considers whether the model suits the government's needs. In a request for information issued Nov. 5, GSA says that car-sharing may be more cost-effective than renting, leasing or purchasing when agencies only need vehicles intermittently.
SBIR data rights policy under review
The Small Business Administration plans to update its data rights policies under the Small Business Innovation Research program in late 2013 or early 2014, the Government Accountability Office says. An SBA spokesman could not offer details other than to say that the government shutdown in October delayed the revision process.
Government could save million with shared services model
The government could save between $540 million and $770 million annually by moving to a shared service model for financial systems, an Oct. 30 Association of Government Accountant's report on a September AGA panel on shared services. With shared services, financial management systems become standardized across agencies, use fewer resources and a central staff.
VA contracts with non-VA medical providers lacked performance requirements, GAO says
Some Veterans Affairs contracts with non-VA medical providers didn't contain specific performance requirements and contracting officer representatives didn't have time to monitor the contracts due to other duties, an Oct. 31 Government Accountability Office report says.
Construction of VA healthcare centers years overdue
For several healthcare centers that the Veterans Affairs Department planned to build in 2012, the department still had yet to award leases--let alone begin construction--as of August of this year. VA sent Congress a timeline in 2010, showing its plans to award the leases by August 2010, finish construction by May 2012 and occupy the buildings a month later.
OPM sets caps for fed bonuses
The Office of Management and Budget and the Office of Personnel Management issued joint guidance that establishes spending caps on federal employee bonuses, but doesn't ban them, regardless of whether sequestration continues. The guidance (.pdf) caps employee bonuses at no more than one percent of aggregate salary. Senior Executive Service member bonuses are capped at no more than five percent of aggregate salary. Budgetary limitations do not apply to political appointees. The OPM guidance from August 2010 cancelling all discretionary bonuses for political appointees continues to be in effect.
Outside state supreme court election spending good for prosecutors, finds report
The more independent groups spend to influence state supreme court elections, the more that elected high bench justices tend to rule for the prosecution in criminal cases during election season, an Oct. 28 Center for American Progress report says.
Cash for clunkers programs yielded little environmental impact
The cash for clunkers program, which was supposed to boost short term vehicle sales and reduce carbon emissions, ended up costing more than it was worth, an Oct. 30 Brookings report says. The $2.85 billion Car Allowance Rebate System, known as cash for clunkers, provided economic incentives to people who bought new, more fuel-efficient vehicles when they traded in their less fuel-efficient vehicles. The program was offered July 1 to Aug. 24, 2009.
Appropriations leaders want discretionary topline from budget conference
House and Senate Appropriations Committee leaders urged members of the budget conference to at least agree to a discretionary topline by Dec. 2 so the committees can start working on spending bills with enough time to pass them before the government runs out of money again Jan. 15. In an Oct. 31 letter (.pdf) to budget committee leaders, Rep. Hal Rogers (R-Ky.) and Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.) also asked budget conference leaders to agree on a common discretionary topline for fiscal 2015.
Spotlight: Hagel directs National Guard to comply with same sex spouse benefits

More than a month after Aaron Alexis shot and killed a dozen people after entering a Washington Navy Yard building, the government's head personnel chief told a Senate panel that the security clearance process is not fundamentally flawed, but needs improvements.
Thousands of feds with security clearance owe back taxes, GAO says
More than 8,000 federal employees and contractors approved for security clearances between 2012 owed back taxes totaling $85 million, a recently released Sept. 10 Government Accountability Office report says. The GAO says 8,400 federal workers and contractors with clearance owed back taxes and about half of them had not worked out a repayment plan with the Internal Revenue Service, the report says. Of those that owed back taxes, 4,700 were directly employed by the federal government and the rest were contractors.
Former VA official pleads fifth over conference spending questions
The Veterans Affairs Department official who resigned last year after it came out that the department spent vast sums of money on two conferences, refused to speak at a House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing Oct. 30.
VA pushes back on bill to post disability claims processing times
The Veterans Affairs Department doesn't support a Senate Veterans Affairs Committee bill that would require the VA to post information about the average processing times for disability claims, said VA Deputy Undersecretary for Health Robert Jesse. And though the bill was introduced as a way to monitor and keep transparent the backlog of claims, the VA thinks collecting and posting all of that information would be burdensome and actually slow down processing.

MIA Grad Wins National Music Award
Fanshawe College Music Industry Arts graduate Shannon Penner has been named one of this year's recipients of the MusiCounts Fred Sherratt Award.
Fanshawe MIA grad Shannon Penner, back row, fourth from right,
winner of the MusiCounts 2010 Fred Sherratt Award.
Along with the other 2010 winners, Penner was honoured on Monday, June 14, 2010, at a celebration held in Toronto at the MuchOnDemand studio.
Established in 2007 in partnership with CTVglobemedia, the MusiCounts Fred Sherratt Award is given each year to 12 outstanding post-secondary students graduating from music programs in Canadian colleges and universities.
Named in honour of broadcasting pioneer Fred Sherratt, the award recognizes and celebrates outstanding talent, academic excellence and leadership skills. The exemplary individuals chosen to receive the awards are recognized for being active in various music and music industry related programs throughout the country. Each recipient receives a $3,500 cash prize in addition to an all-expenses-paid trip to Toronto, followed by a unique opportunity to spend an educational day at MuchMusic and CHUM Radio.
Sherratt was instrumental in building CHUM Limited into one of Canada's leading media companies. Throughout his career, he has also been awarded several honours by the broadcasting industry.
According to Fanshawe's Music Industry Arts (MIA) program Coordinator Steve Malison, Penner was a very deserving winner.
"Throughout his time at Fanshawe College, Shannon Penner remained at or near the top of his class," said Steve Malison, Coordinator of MIA at Fanshawe. "He excelled at music composition and editing, in part thanks to his prior professional experience as a 3D animator."
Penner, who studied animation at Sheridan College before coming to Fanshawe, was credited as a visual effects animation assistant in Disney's 2009 animated feature The Princess and the Frog. While in the MIA program at Fanshawe College, he directed his energy toward helping students both in and outside the classroom.
"Shannon served outside the classroom as a Student Union representative for MIA for a year - a position that involved leadership on many levels - and was an active member of the school community," Malison continued. "Thanks to his experience in many areas of college life, peers often looked up to him."

By Sammy Batten
Here are six questions to ponder regarding the Atlantic Coast Conference before the 2013 season begins.
The Tigers are clearly the class of the ACC as the 2013 season begins. They have one of the most explosive offenses in college football, led by Heisman Trophy candidate Tajh Boyd, above, at quarterback and Sammy Watkins at wide receiver.
But there are two main roadblocks Clemson must clear to contend for the national crown.
First, vast improvement must be shown in the pass rushing department and in the secondary.
Second, the Tigers must navigate successfully through a tricky schedule that starts and ends with nationally ranked Southeastern Conference opponents Georgia and South Carolina.
Clemson should win the ACC and be ranked among the top 10 teams in the nation this season. But a national title run stills seems like a longshot.
What impact will the additions of Pittsburgh and Syracuse have on the ACC this season?
Quite frankly, it's difficult to know. Pitt and Syracuse have had solid football programs in the past.
Both were bowl participants last season with the Orangemen downing West Virginia, 38-14, in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl to put the cap on an 8-5 season.
But the man who directed that semi-resurgence at Syracuse, Doug Marrone, is now coaching the NFL's Buffalo Bills. So the Orange will be breaking in a new coach, Scott Shafer, in the same ACC division as Clemson and Florida State.
Pitt has experienced a coaching carousel in recent years that has caused some hiccups. But the Panthers should have a solid defense in 2013 that could push them higher in the convoluted Coastal Division race than expected.
The Hokies experienced their worst finish in 20 years in 2012, stumbling to a 7-6 record. Frank Beamer, the dean of ACC head coaches, responded to the downturn by shuffling his coaching staff and naming Scott Loeffler offensive coordinator.
Loeffler's biggest challenge will be to get quarterback Logan Thomas back on track. Thomas was a preseason favorite for ACC Player of the Year honors and regarded as a sure-fire NFL draft pick last fall. But he faltered badly and the Hokies went down the drain with him.
A rebound by Thomas and what should be one of the ACC's top defenses - but that's not saying much in this league - will have Virginia Tech back in contention for the Coastal Division crown.
Depends on who you ask.
Some believe the Hurricanes are ready to once again become a national power.
Others think Miami has too many holes on defense and the team will be impacted by the penalties, if any, the NCAA eventually hands down as result of a nearly two-year investigation.
The answer is most likely somewhere in between.
The Hurricanes have the personnel to be a contender in the ACC's Coastal Division, but don't save them a seat in the national championship game just yet.
I can hear the taunts now. "So, you're moving to the Big Ten? Heck, you can't even win games in the ACC!''
Maryland, a charter member of the ACC, is leaving the league next year. The move disappointed the majority of its fan base and set Randy Edsall's 2013 squad up to be the league's whipping boys.
The Terps lost six straight to end last season and haven't produced a winning mark in ACC play over the last six seasons. So don't expect their farewell tour to be pleasant.
The Blue Devils finally ended two long and frustrating streaks in 2012.
First, they defeated rival North Carolina, 33-30, to end an eight-game losing streak against the Tar Heels.
Second, and more important, that victory gave Duke its sixth win and made the Blue Devils bowl eligible for the first time since 1994.
Of course, Duke wound up finishing with a 6-7 overall record thanks to a loss against Cincinnati in the Belk Bowl. But it was still a significant step forward for a program that hadn't come close to that kind of success in almost 20 years.
A repeat performance is going to be difficult due to major question marks on defense, especially in the secondary. The Blue Devils will also have to reverse their trend of faltering in November games to pull off a second straight postseason bowl bid.

Qantas & China Eastern Form Joint Budget Airline to Serve Asian Market
Qantas Airways and China Eastern Airlines will team up to form a budget airline to serve the exploding Asian commercial air travel market.
The new airline, which will reportedly be named Jetstar Hong Kong, will start operations next year using three Airbus A320s that will fly out of Hong Kong:
"The opportunity in China is unlimited," said Bruce Buchanan, CEO of Qantas Jetstar. "The market potential is huge and those people are looking for affordable air travel."
'About 80 cities in Greater China are big enough to support budget flights and that may climb to about 200 by the end of the decade, he said. He didn't elaborate on where Jetstar Hong Kong will fly. Fares will be half the price of full-service carriers, according to the statement.'
The new airline plans to expand its fleet to 18 aircraft by 2015.
High airport charges have made it difficult for low-cost budget carriers to succeed according to Vivian Tao, a Citigroup Inc. analyst:
"Although the low penetration can be viewed as an opportunity, the high landing, route and staffing costs in Hong Kong make it really challenging for a low-cost carrier to succeed," she said.
Jetstar Hong Kong expects to turn a profit by their third year of operation.
It's not yet clear how many jobs will be created through the launching of the new carrier.

Answer to the prompt: What words have reached you?
On the evening of February 14th, 2004, Style crawled ashore the polluted sands of Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco. He rasped deeply, his hair matted and his face unshaven. His suit was tattered and hung loosely from his shoulders. He effused exhaustion, not absorbing anything's energy but simply acting as a pitless black hole, wilting the sand's dreams of becoming glass. He dragged himself towards me, ignoring the grit collecting under his fingernails and between his teeth, his glasses' missing lens, and that he was supposed to be dead. Style couldn't simply die at sea. He finally reached my feet and crumpled onto his side. He pursed the butt I'd been smoking seconds ago between his lips and inhaled deeply, savoring the taste, filling his lungs to the brim, smiling. He exhaled, the cinders dimmed, and his life extinguished. He resembled a soldier that had died with his finger in the pin of a grenade. Through the rising wisps of smoke the reflection of an hourly hotel's pink neon sign in his lens reminded me: today was Valentine's Day.
Approximately twenty-two hours earlier, the day before Valentine's Day, my cell phone began to ring Mozart's Requiem in D minor. I can be ready by 10PM tomorrow. I scribbled the order down with a grease pencil: no need for discretion, keep the silencer at home, the Wharf. Yeah, I know that pier. The line was dead. I put out my cigarette in the tray next to the phone. My hands were sweating. I rubbed my index finger on the tray's circumference, then suckled it, the ash's flavor reminding me that all was ephemeral.
I arrived at the pier to find that I was part of an entourage. We all had our cuffs just past our sleeves, our pants hemmed to the exactly appropriate length, and expensive suit jackets with perfectly cut pockets. The phone caller paced the aisle of impersonality we formed.
The one next to me whispered, "They say he's a ghost."
I remembered someone once saying that about me.
The caller stopped abruptly, facing away towards the sea. He paused, letting his pupils take in the gentle crests. He clapped. "Let's go. Five meter spread. No sound."
I positioned myself behind the pier's third support pillar. There was a short symphony of safety clicking, cartridge snapping, and hammer cocking followed by silence. The water washed up against my legs and the pillar, harmonically tapping a floating Dr. Pepper bottle against the wood. A seagull cried in the distance. Listening carefully I could isolate the familiar whooshing noise of cars slicing the night's breeze. The floorboards creaked.
The heat from the onslaught of bullets distorted the midnight air. Damp pine pelleted me from all directions, splinters drilled into my face. I fell, firing towards the explosion of lead. I slammed into the water just in time to see the pillar's foundations crack below the surface.
I focused. The chaos around me dimmed. I rose in vacuum. I pushed both hands upward. The pier crashed down on me, my arms holding, tearing through the wood, as if I had jumped and burst from below. As the pine settled on the waves, I looked ahead and saw him at the edge of the pier, and for a moment we were incredulous of each other. Style let the second pass, then raised his pistol. I realized the ringing in my ears had stopped. We were the only ones left. I anticipated the muzzle flare, the useless flinch. He pulled the trigger.
Miss. He fired again. Miss. He took two steps forward. Miss. He ran towards me, emptying his entire clip save for a single round. I stood up as he held the pistol point blank to my head. I flinched. Miss. I looked down at my own firearm, and back at Style. He ran. I fired. His torso contorted, he spun, and collapsed.
Valentine's Day. Basking in the pink glow, I tried to remember those I loved and had loved. I tried to remember my enemies, my friends, the name of the caller. Who I had betrayed, who betrayed me, the promises I broke and the ones I kept. My childhood, puberty, leaving home. My principles, if I had any. But nothing came. All of my relationships, my history, the arch of my life. Nothing. They seemed, and I seemed... artificial.
I knelt next to Style. I remembered the cigarette. I struck a match and cupped it so as not let my hair drip on it, and relit the nicotine. I remembered how he had inched across the shore to reach me. I let my hand out, and carefully poked his flesh, watching how the skin pulled as I applied pressure. I ran my fingers over his jacket, caressing the material, noting the difference in texture due to moistness. His hair was oily in my palm. I had other characters to meet, other plotlines to play out, but somehow I was inferior to a man smoking as he died from bullet wounds under the Valentine's Day Special sign for a cheap hotel. I knew it then.
Style is substance.

The truth is waaay out there
What do Paul Hellyer and Denis Coderre have in common?
Hellyer is a former Liberal defence minister (circa 1963), Coderre is a former Liberal defence critic (circa 2007).
Both were early achievers in politics -- Hellyer as the youngest MP to be elected back in 1949; Coderre as a young student activist getting involved in the Chretien-Turner wars in the Liberal party in the 1980s.
And what they both share, apparently, is a belief in extraterrestrial life.
Coderre was a mere child when he appeared at a science fair and talked about life on other planets.
Hellyer, however, was talking about visitors from outer space just a month ago at a conference in Maryland.
Here's part of Hellyer's presentation.
"Decades ago visitors from other planets warned us about where we were headed, and offered to help. But instead, we, or at least some of us, interpreted their visits as a threat, and decided to shoot first and ask questions afterward. The inevitable result was that some of our planes were lost; but how many were due to retaliation, and how many were a result of our own stupidity is a moot point."

Concerns are growing in Russia and Kazakhstan over a shortage of high-quality wheat -- already a major issue for Russia this season -- that could undermine their plans to increase exports, traders and analysts said.
Both countries, which together with Ukraine are the three main wheat exporters of the Black Sea region, are boosting their 2013 wheat harvest this year after last year's drought, but the wheat is lower in quality than last year due to rain.
"There are endless problems with the quality of Russia's wheat, which have emerged during the harvest," Russia's Institute for Agricultural Market Studies (IKAR) said.
A lack of high quality milling wheat makes it harder for Russian exporters to negotiate with farmers who are holding back such grain -- classified as third-class -- in anticipation of further price growth.
"(Global) importers are waiting for wheat of high quality -- of the third class," Dmitry Rylko, the head of IKAR, said. "They are not interested in the fourth class and in feed wheat, they can buy it from Ukraine, Romania or Bulgaria."
More problems may appear as the campaign shifts to Siberia, where the harvest is significantly delayed, he added.
Russia's 2013 wheat crop is expected to rise by one third to around 50 million tonnes, of which 43 million tonnes have already been harvested from 66 per cent of the sown area with yields at 2.60 tonnes per hectare, up from 1.85 last year.
Siberia has harvested 1.8 million tonnes from 18 percent of the sown area. At the same date last year, more than 60 per cent of the area was finished.
Russia's crop of third class wheat may fall to 14 million tonnes from 19 million tonnes last year, Vladimir Petrichenko, the head of the ProZerno consultancy, said.
He expects the fourth class, the lowest quality grade of milling wheat, to be up 80 per cent to 20 million tonnes.
Quality in Kazakhstan
For now, Kazakhstan does appear to have high-quality wheat. "About 92 per cent of grain received by the collecting stations is grain of the third class," deputy agriculture minister Muslim Umiryayev told reporters in Astana.
But he said the quality of Kazakh grain was already lower than last year and could fall further as the campaign shifts to the northern part of the country.
Kazakhstan has harvested 7.5 million tonnes of grains from 40 per cent of the sown area with yields at 1.18 tonnes per hectare, up from 0.83 tonnes per hectare last year.
At the same date last year harvesting of more than 80 per cent of the sown area was finished.
Umiryayev kept unchanged the grain export forecast for this 2013-14 marketing season, which started on July 1, at between seven million and eight million tonnes. Last year the country exported 7.1 million tonnes including flour in grain equivalent.
Preliminary data shows the grain is continuing to ripen, while the gluten content is lower than last year, according to Kazakhstan's Grain Farming Centre, located in Shortandy, the centre of the main grain belt outside the capital Astana in the north of the country.
Wheat usually accounts for about 90 per cent of the Kazakh grain harvest, officially forecast at 16.3 million tonnes by clean weight this year. The harvest in the three northern grain-growing regions is expected to be over by late October.
Ukraine has already completed its wheat harvest, which will reach 21 million tonnes in clean weight, the government says.
Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan were expected to increase their combined wheat crop by 36 per cent to 87 million tonnes and exports by 22 per cent to 30 million tonnes, according to the latest Reuters poll in early August.

Israel's attorney general, Elyakim Rubinstein, decided not to indict Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Sunday, contrary to police recommendations. The Jewish leader's legal and political trouble, however, may not be over. After an ITN background report, Magaret Warner discusses the attorney general's decision with David Makovsky, chief diplomatic correspondent for the Israeli newspaper Ha'aretz, and special correspondent for U.S. News & World Report.
MARGARET WARNER: Last week a political shock jolted Israel. Police investigators recommended that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu be charged with corruption. But yesterday the country's top legal authorities, the state prosecutors, made a different decision. We start with this report prepared yesterday by Tristana Moore of Independent Television News.

TRISTANA MOORE, ITN: It was a decision that everyone had been waiting for and most had anticipated. After spending a week poring over a thousand page police report, state prosecutors announced that they would not be pressing charges against Prime Minister Netanyahu and his aides. The state attorney said the whole police report was based on insufficient evidence.
ELYAKIM RUBINSTEIN, Attorney General, Israel: (speaking through interpreter) We have decided to close the files for lack of evidence against the prime minister, the minister of justice, and attorney Bar-On.
TRISTANA MOORE: In a televised speech to the nation the Israeli Prime Minister was quick to protest his innocence.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHU, Prime Minister, Israel: (speaking through interpreter) I made a mistake, but I did not commit a crime. In future I must put around me people I can trust.
TRISTANA MOORE: But the whole affair has played into the hands of the opposition Labor Party whose leader, Shimon Peres, called for Mr. Netanyahu to step down, despite being cleared by the state prosecutors. Shimon Peres demanded that fresh elections be held as the accusations raised in the report were so strong. He said it was the public's right to defy it, and the prime minister's fate.
The Israeli newspapers were calling this judgment day, the closest Israel has got to Watergate-style scandal. The affair centered on the appointment in January of Rani Bar-On as attorney general. He was put in place it was claimed as part of a deal with the leader of the Shas Party, Aryeh Deri. Deri was on trial for corruption and offered to back Netanyahu so that charges against him could be lessened.
Now Mr. Netanyahu's political survival depends on the support of his coalition partners. The opposition Labor Party may also decide to bring charges in the high court sometime in the near future.
MARGARET WARNER: Now, explain how the police could be indicting Aryeh Deri, the man accused of generating all of this, putting the pressure on to have this deal happen, and yet not indicting Netanyahu, who supposedly carried it out. What were the missing pieces?
DAVID MAKOVSKY: Well, Mr. Deri was accused by the state prosecutors of actually threatening--saying, if you don't take my man as attorney general, I'm going to bring down this government, and he wouldn't vote for the Hebron deal, which was the one big movement forward in the peace process, so they said he was definitely trying to extort a decision for personal gain, so he could get this sweetheart deal. But there's no evidence that Mr. Netanyahu when agreeing to name Mr. Bar-On actually had agreed to such a plea bargain at all. So what was really missing here was a smoking gun whereby Mr. Netanyahu will have admitted to say, I took Bar-On because we had this deal to do a plea bargain. But that part of the puzzle was missing.
MARGARET WARNER: Or someone who would say, I took this deal to the prime minister. That was also missing?
DAVID MAKOVSKY: Right. And, therefore, some of his aides are still under active investigation. That was one of the findings of the state prosecutors; they would continue to investigate. The only one who they said they would press charges against was Mr. Deri, who's already facing a corruption trial. And he was the one who was considered to have triggered this whole thing by making the initial threat to bring down the government.
MARGARET WARNER: Now, the prime minister is treating this decision as an exoneration. From the legal point of view, under Israeli law is it that?
DAVID MAKOVSKY: Under the legal point of view there is--he looks like he's in the free because the opposition members are going to go forward in the Supreme Court and petition that the state prosecutor's ruling be overruled essentially. But it's unclear if the Supreme Court will overrule their own prosecutors. That's considered very slim. From a strictly legal point of view, it looks like Mr. Netanyahu is in--is in the free right now.
MARGARET WARNER: Now, Prime Minister Netanyahu, in addressing this over the weekend blamed the charges and all of this on what he called the political elite, so he said, we're out to destroy him and his government. Who is he talking about?
DAVID MAKOVSKY: He basically sees four different establishments--in his words--working to overthrow him. He looks at the business community. He looks at military leaders, he looks at the legal establishment, and he looks at the media. And he's basically saying, I'm an outsider; all these four elites, these four elite groups were pro-Labor. And they're not just pro-Labor. Where he may be right technically--
MARGARET WARNER: Labor being the opposition party.
DAVID MAKOVSKY: I'm sorry. Being supportive of the opposition party. But he takes it a step further and says, no, it's just that they were for them in the election. But they are trying to bring me down. And that is a charge--what I would call the politics of resentment that I think resonates with some of Mr. Netanyahu's own voters who were blue collar, Safartic, leaning Jews of North African origin, who have traditionally felt left out, along with other immigrants, and they feel that charge is something they could identify with, so it could be it's a winning charge. I just feel it's one that is going to be inevitably divisive and bring a lot of resentment to the body politic.
MARGARET WARNER: But now it was the police investigators who had actually recommended that he be indicted. He's saying that the police are politicized?
DAVID MAKOVSKY: Some of his people are saying, yes, that the police leaked because they are somehow politicized. I think it should be pointed out that it was Mr. Netanyahu who actually made the police inquiry after a lot of public pressure. But he started this ball rolling, so people are wondering how that exactly fits. But his people around him have certainly made that charge. I don't think that he personally has made that charge, but all of his top assistants have.
MARGARET WARNER: So what do you think is going to be the domestic political fallout from this in terms of his own standing and his coalition and his alliances?
DAVID MAKOVSKY: It seems that legally he's in the clear as it stands now, and politically the one group that can really bring him down were some of his junior coalition partners, and they seem to be right now taking the position that if there are improved procedures to the future nominees and if the justice minister is replaced and there is some sort of a minor cabinet reshuffle, then they believe that they could go along with this government, so both in terms of the legal standing and in a political sense it seems that Mr. Netanyahu's coalition remains intact.
MARGARET WARNER: Now based on a lot of commentary in the American papers this morning that this is going to make Mr. Netanyahu more dependent than ever on the "far right party," do you agree with that assessment?
DAVID MAKOVSKY: I think that's true because the third aspect of this is that it seems to dash what was the most hopeful sign of a broad-based political coalition involving the two big parties, Mr. Netanyahu's Likud Party and Labor's--and the Labor Party. And there's been a lot of speculation about that. But even though he's legally clear and he might be politically clear, there's still somewhat of an ethical cloud that is kind of lingering over his government. And that makes it much harder for the Labor Party to join at this time. And, therefore, it seems that Mr. Netanyahu's--soldiers on--seems to be more reliant on some more right wing elements of his party, and makes it much harder for the Middle East peace process.
MARGARET WARNER: And why does it make it harder for the peace process?
DAVID MAKOVSKY: Well, because Mr. Netanyahu's coalition barely scraped through the first pullback of the West Bank, which was mandated under the Oslo Accord, after it did do Hebron, and in Mr. Netanyahu's words--
MARGARET WARNER: That was the withdrawal from the city of Hebron that you referred to earlier.
DAVID MAKOVSKY: Exactly. And for Mr. Netanyahu he has come a long way. But it's unclear that the narrow margin by which he secured the progress of the peace process he did will be sufficient to deal with the hard--what I call the cores issues that are coming up. I mean, we've kicked the can down the road on the core issues, and now we're at the end of the road. And now some tough decisions have to be made. And it seems that the compromises can only be struck if there's a broad-based coalition in Israel to take those tough decisions. Mr. Peres, who used to be the head of Labor and was Mr. Netanyahu's predecessor, he seemed willing to join the coalition. But now that there's this kind of ethical cloud, he is now calling for Mr. Netanyahu's resignation, so the hopes of a broad-based coalition that's going to be able to take the tough choice in the peace process, that seems to have been diminished for now. Maybe within a few months when this scandal fades a bit, it'll resurface, but, for now, the hopes of a broad-based government have been reduced, and Mr. Netanyahu is going to have to rely on more of his right-wing allies to hang--to keep this coalition intact.
MARGARET WARNER: All right. Well, thank you very much, David.
DAVID MAKOVSKY: My pleasure.

To the Editor: The prevention of pain in neonates should be the goal of all caregivers, but the evidence for improved clinical outcomes with adequate pain control in newborns has been limited. The results of the NEOPAIN trial, the largest randomized controlled trial to date to evaluate benefits of pain control in critically ill neonates, indicated that morphine infusion in ventilated preterm infants controlled pain but had no beneficial effects on pulmonary outcomes and neurological morbidities.1,2 The use of open-label morphine doses was associated with significant adverse effects.1,2 Potential long-term benefits of pain control on neurodevelopmental outcomes for these infants have not yet been assessed. Summary proceedings from the Neonatal Pain Control Group again identified significant gaps in knowledge and raised concerns about possible adverse effects of analgesic exposure on long-term global developmental outcomes.3

Dohány Street Synagogue, Budapest |
Dohány Street SynagogueThis Synagogue is enormous. In fact it is the largest one in Europe. At point in Budapest there was a tremendously large Jewish population also another reason for the construction of such a large synagogue. Unfortunately the aftermath of World War 2 significantly lowered the Jewish population. The Synagogue is located right at the end of the shopping street Vaci Utca. Before getting here be warned that you are going to go through a security check. Make sure you don't have anything on you like scissors or a knife. Once getting through the checks you are also going to have a wear a hat given to you by the safety check. This must be worn at times. I can't explain how this is a security measure, but apparently its important. There is a grave site behind the Synagogue where it is possible to view many of the people killed during World War 2. I always find it amazing the sheer numbers of graves that are kept at site like this. It is a way to see truly affective the Nazis really were. [more] |
Church: Synagogue on Dohány StreetThe Synagogue on Dohány Street is the name of an old Synagogue. Call it by any other name and nobody will know what you are talking about but call it like this and everyone will tell you where you can find this magnificent building. It was first opened for the Jewish people, in 1859 and is now considered the second largest synagogue in Europe. On the outside one can notice the tall towers, over 40 meters high. Though the architecture is oriental there are many influences that can be noticed. Inside one can see the clear separation of seats. The men are seated on the ground floor and the women are seated at the gallery. There are over 6000 seats but, 3000 are usually put to use, the men have more seats than the women and I found this annoying. I however loved the beautiful chandeliers and the Mass was very nice also. [more] |

From One Idea, Big Things Sprout
November 13, 2009 by The Dove
A new generation of eco-commerce is arising out of the dust of Amazon.com's explosive growth – online shoppers, particularly parents, are more concerned than ever about product certification, safety and customer feedback. Enter Sproubaby.com, the brainchild of eco-preneur Jody Sherman. To cater to this more discerning market, his online baby products shop features only items vetted through expert, family and personal reviews.
In honor of busy parents everywhere, The Green Dove tracked down this businessman (pictured left) with a conscience to give us the lowdown on Sproutbaby's mission, success to date and to also share some green words of wisdom.
How and when did sprout baby sprout?
The idea for Sproutbaby was conceived in my living room in may of 2008. We started building the site and testing in December of 2008 (which is why we are having our birthday celebration and giving away $2500 to one of our customers). The idea began as an exploration of how the social behavior of moms influenced purchasing behavior.
I started seeing moms talking to moms everywhere I went — once I started paying attention. I saw pregnant women talking to moms. I saw moms of all ages engaged in conversation with each other. And very often, what they were talking about was "What product do you use," "When are you due?" "Who is your doctor?, "You should try this food," and more. I began to see how much of a "club" these moms were a part of, and that they were in it for life. I started picking through their shopping carts and asking them questions about what they buy, why they buy it, how the do research, etc. And what I found was that the more eco-conscious they were, the more challenged they were in finding comprehensive resources where they could learn about products that were good to put in, on, and around their babies and families — and where to purchase them.
They went to a wide variety of sites, had "over the fence" discussions, read magazines, and networked with their mommy peers in the real world. So I thought "what if you could create a space where moms could locate, learn about, and purchase authentically great products that were good for their babies and good for the planet?" And thus sproutbaby was born.
What feedback have you received regarding the company's mission and products?
Our customers love us. They tell us that our vision and promise matches to their concerns. They love our proactive approach to customer service. They are overwhelmingly positive about the products they have purchased from us. And this is both coming to me anecdotally, in the form of phone calls and emails, as well as quantifiably in the form of increased month over month sales and very high repeat customer purchases.
What do you say to people who use plastic disposable diapers, and are unaware of the detrimental effect these products have on the environment?
I say "you have to start somewhere". I don't think it is our place to preach to people about how they treat the planet. No one likes that approach, least of all me. And that approach is what has, for some people, made the idea of becoming "green" or "eco" seem daunting, exclusive, elusive, and expensive.
We know that some people are going to begin their approach to living with a smaller negative impact on the planet by feeding their babies an organic high-quality baby food. And on that front, I think we've nailed it by partnering with sprout baby food, an amazing new organic baby food, created by the food network's Tyler Florence. It is organic and comes in environmentally-friendly non-bpa plastic pouches instead of glass or plastic jars. But most importantly, it tastes delicious.
For some people, they may not go any further than that, because of lifestyle, economic, or other choices that are unique to their situation. For others, adding high quality skin care products to their routine may be as far as they go. We can't punish people for trying to do better. Naturally, we'd like to see our customers make the best and lowest impact choices possible, but it takes time, education, and advocacy. We try to influence this as much as possible by only offering what we believe are the best possible options in any category into which we enter.
We further try to educate and influence by providing helpful content to aid the decision making process, as well as sending what we hope our customers find to be useful emails that provide both information about and discounts on new products that help move new parents along in reducing their environmental footprint.
How optimistic are you about the world's population achieving a sustainable future?
I am much more so than I was before I started Sproutbaby. I know that when I was growing up, my parents made what they thought were good choices and these choices were based on information that was state of the art at the time. As it turns out, with better information, we've learned that many of the decisions parents made had a detrimental impact that was previously not well understood.
Only with time and education did we come to learn that we have a finite set of resources on our planet. Every day we see a new customer come to our site and make a purchase for something that is a better option for their baby, family, and the planet, I feel more encouraged that the word is spreading. We don't have the luxury to get it wrong with this generation and the next, and i think that message is loud and clear with new parents so I feel very positive that we will get it together.
Your favorite sprout baby product and why?
I have a few. When we launched, we started with just sprout baby food and I ate a lot of it. There were days that I was living on roasted banana and brown rice. As we've grown to add a wide variety of products, most of which are for moms and babies so they don't have a use in my every day life, one product stands out and that is my Thinksport stainless steel water bottle. I love the way it feels in my hand. I like the design. I love that it keeps my water cold all day, and i love that it forces me to drink more water because I keep it with me all the time. I also like that it can take a beating. I've "bounce tested" it many times at the gym and it hasn't taken more than just a scratch.
Any green words of wisdom you'd like to share?
The effort it "seems" to take to make your life more green is far more of an illusion than it is a reality. I used to think that it would take longer to sort my trash, turn off lights, make more mindful purchases, etc., turned out to be (for me) an excuse to not change my patterns. Once i made the commitment to change, and had a picture in my mind of for whom I was doing it (my nephews, who will be on this planet long after i'm gone) it became second nature. But I am also mindful that i am far from perfect in my stewardship of the planet. It is impractical for example, to ride a bike or walk everywhere, so I still have to use a car. I don't have solar on my home. I try each day to do things that have less of an impact on the planet but I don't beat myself up for being less than 100% because there are times when you just can't be. I think that's a long winded way of saying "commit to positive change one step at a time and feel good about that. once this new change becomes habit, add another, and so on."

It is a basic emotional need to give and receive attention and feel connected to other people. It has been said that when you read a book you are never alone because you can 'listen to' and communicate with the author and connect with their ideas and characters. The point is if you enjoy reading you don't feel alone even when you are.
In the movie Castaway the character played by Tom Hanks is left entirely alone for four years but his needs for connection to other human beings still requires fulfillment. So, bit by bit, he anthropomorphizes a volley ball, calls it 'Wilson' and thereby keeps his sanity. When we can't get what we need, be it love, a sense of meaning or vital human companionship through lifestyle then we instinctively use whatever comes to hand to meet that need. This can explain why people have TV on in the background just for the company or why pets can almost become the 'people' in our lives.
Trying to get basic needs met any way we can also explains human problem behaviors such as addiction (which may be an unconscious drive to meet the human need for stimulation, status, etc.) Obsessive Compulsive Disorder may be an attempt to meet the basic human need to feel safe and secure. Unfortunately meeting needs inappropriately, almost symbolically (Wilson the volley ball symbolized a person) can eventually become the problem itself as when OCD or alcohol abuse-both attempted solutions-start to prevent people get other life needs met. And sad to say Wilson didn't make it off the island. Being clear about what we need in life helps us avoid mistakes (of course Mr Hank's Castaway character had to use what he could for company). Knowledge is power.

Getting Oriented
The mighty Columbia River flows west through the Cascade Range, past the Mount Hood Wilderness Area, to Astoria. It's a natural border between Oregon and Washington to the north, and bridges link roads on both sides at Biggs Junction, the Dalles, Hood River, and Cascade Locks. The watery recreation corridor stretches from the Dalles in the east to the east Portland 'burbs. For most of that drive, snowcapped Mt. Hood looms to the southwest. Hood River drains the mountain's north side, emptying into the Columbia at its namesake town. Follow it upstream and you'll trade the warm, low-elevation climes of the gorge for the high country's tall pines and late-season snows. While it feels remote, the massive peak is just outside Portland. Look up from almost any neighborhood in town to see its white dome, just 60 miles east and accessible via U.S. 26 through Gresham.

My sebright does this for hours on end:
She's only been doing this for 2 or 3 months, and it doesn't seem to have anything to do with her egg laying. What could it be? It's only a matter of time before the neighbors start to complain.
I have one (Polish Crest) that sounds just like that, and does that all the time. I have no clue what is going on, so I hope someone has some answers for you! I just keep telling her that she doesn't live at the zoo, so she can quit making our yard sound like one. LOL
Kara - home to 1 smart dog, 1 hyper puppy, 3 lazy cats, and 32 crazy chickens...oh, and a 13 year old kid and a husband thrown in there for good measure.
My Sebright did that until I got her another one. Even in a flock of 10 big girls! They seem to be lonely for their own kind. :(
