Personal Statements, Resumes, and Letters of Recommendation / LoR from Previous College« on: August 30, 2011, 08:59:21 AM »
I received an Associates in Applied Science in Paralegal Studies several years before coming back for my BA. Would an LoR from the director of the program be a good option? Or should I just stick with professors from my BA?

It's not hard to see what a compromise solution on the debt ceiling would look like. It's just hard to see how we get there from here before the Treasury begins running out of money Aug. 2.
Republican House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) and Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) have proposed competing outlines for a deal, and what's most striking is how similar they are.
Boehner and Reid both proposed cuts they said would eliminate $1.2 trillion in discretionary spending over 10 years, with automatic cuts if Congress doesn't act. Both propose setting up a bipartisan joint congressional committee to recommend further savings, which means looking for ways to cut Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. And both propose doing all this with no tax increases, though they both favor some kind of tax reform.
The differences are significant but not unbridgeable. The main one is that Reid wants to raise the debt ceiling enough to get through the 2012 election without another debate on the issue; Boehner proposes increasing the debt ceiling by a smaller amount to force another vote within a year, partly as a means of enforcing more cuts.
Both plans represent a victory for conservative Republicans. They've won the debate over whether we need to focus immediately on reducing the deficit and the debt. They've won the debate over whether a deficit fix should include tax increases for high-income earners. (That was one of President Obama's top demands, and formally still is, though Reid has walked away from it for now.) They are slowly winning the debate over putting cuts in future Medicare and Social Security benefits on the table. (Even Obama agreed to that, infuriating many of his liberal supporters.)
The scale of the Republican success could be measured in the doleful statement that former Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued Monday. "It is clear we must enter an era of austerity, to reduce the deficit through shared sacrifice," she said.
So it should be easy for Boehner and Reid to quickly resolve the differences between their two plans, right?
If it were only a question of policy, they probably could. But politics gets in the way.
Boehner is clinging tenaciously to holding another vote on the debt ceiling before the 2012 election. Reid, and Obama, are equally adamant in rejecting it.
Republicans clearly think that having the issue front and center in an election year will help them. Most voters don't like the national debt and don't want to allow more borrowing. Forcing Obama to come back and ask for a higher debt ceiling is a way of forcing him to spend time in an election year debating the GOP on its own terms.
Probably more important, though, is the challenge Boehner faces in winning support from his own party for a deal, especially from the fiscal hawks allied with the "tea party" movement. Tea party Republicans mistrust bipartisan deals, especially deals that spread budget cuts over a 10-year timetable. Boehner drew stinging criticism from his right for the short-term spending deal he made in April because many of its cuts turned out to be smaller than initially advertised.
All year long, Boehner and his lieutenants have been asking their most conservative members to cut them some slack on individual budget deals. They promised that there would be "more than one bite at the apple," in the words of House Republican leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.), and that the debt ceiling would be the most important bite.
By proposing to raise the debt ceiling in two chunks instead of one, Boehner is promising the tea party yet another bite at the apple — another chance to hold up federal spending if their demands for deficit reduction aren't satisfied.
In the short run, brinkmanship has worked for the House Republicans. Their single-minded stubbornness has forced both the White House and the Democratic-controlled Senate to bend in their direction.
But brinkmanship always carries the risk of actually going over the cliff. If the impasse over the debt ceiling causes economic chaos, Boehner and his party will get much of the blame. Already, polls suggest that this debate has been a "negative sum" game for its protagonists: Obama and both parties in Congress have all fallen in public esteem.
The debate has also changed at least one aspect of the way Washington does business. Raising the debt ceiling was once a routine piece of fiscal management, but now, for many in the GOP, it's become a matter of principle, and an indispensable point of leverage too. No matter what happens between now and Aug. 2, we are likely to find ourselves back at the brink again all too soon.

Howdy all --
In response to an article I read in Sys Admin Magazine (a damn good publication, for anyone out there who hasn't found it yet) I've been trying to create a template perl script that has all the functionality I usually want in a production-grade script that I can use to rollout new scripts much faster. I'm just about done, but I'm having some difficulty trying to discover if my script is ending out with errors or not. I've got an END block that defines what to do when everything is done, or if the script happens to die unexpectedly. Here's what I have for this check at the end:
I'm really just checking to see if the $! or the $? variables contain anything (and if they do, create a mail message, and send it out), but I'm discovering that the $! variable seems to ALWAYS contain something. Does anyone know of a better way to see if a perl script is ending gracefully or not?Code:if(($!) || ($?)) { my $mesg = "Internal Failures:\n------------------\n$!\n\n" . "External Failures:\n-----------------\n$?\n"; &mail_errors($mesg); }

Jamie Redknapp believes Rio Ferdinand did the right thing by pulling out of Roy Hodgson's England squad.
The former Tottenham and Liverpool midfielder says the Manchester United defender shouldn't join the squad if he isn't capable of training and shouldn't risk his long-term future at Old Trafford.
Redknapp revealed how he picked up a number of injuries during his international career and felt no-one from the England setup cared about him once he was injured.
"I lost so much of my career to injuries picked up on international duty," he told the Daily Mail.
"Liverpool fans used to write to me asking why I bothered carrying on when it was the club who were paying my wages. I understood and, though I am hugely patriotic, if I could have my time again, I wouldn't have gone on those England trips at the expense of my club career.
"My last game for England was a Euro 2000 qualifier against Scotland. I was out injured for a year afterwards and nobody from the FA called to ask how I was.
"Nobody from England cares once you are injured, it's your club who look after you."
Redknapp says Ferdinand will not forgive himself if he jeopardises his club career in the same way Tottenham defender Ledley King did after his involvement in Fabio Capello's 2010 World Cup squad.
"If Ferdinand comes back injured and jeopardises his United career, he will never forgive himself," he added.
"Also, Roy Hodgson does not want to make the mistake Fabio Capello did when he took Ledley King to the World Cup in 2010.
"King, who also used to manage his injuries on a weekly basis, was injured almost straight away and Capello was left without a key player."

Hi guys.
I just started to learn C# and having a lot of fun with it. Currently i am working on a program for a gym. it's a simple windows form app that keep track of comings in gym and some statistic (with a mdf database)
recently my friend asked me to implement a barcode scanner, and i thought no big deal. So i purchased ps2 barcode scanner (that returns strings like keyboard) and its very easy to read the data and get the wanted string from barcode.
but my question is this: when a scanner reads some code (like 38503085 <-barcode) how do i trigger an event (something similar to KeyPress but actually this is a string).
so i use these codes (from barcode scanner) as an ID for a member and when i read a certain barcode i want that member to be displayed in form. (i dont want to make a textbox, focus it, get the barcode string there and press enter)
i hope you can help me and for sure i will be tracking this form and help you guys with my knowledge

Last March, the superb Chicago jazz singer Grazyna Auguscik was rehearsing for one of the biggest concerts of her career, in her native Poland, when she received the worst news of her life.
Her partner of more than 20 years, Marek Bajson, had been killed as he stood alongside his car on the shoulder of Mannheim Road, near O'Hare International Airport. A woman who admitted she had been drinking tried to pass a vehicle, swerved, struck Bajson's car and then him, according to a Tribune report. Bajson, who had been waiting for a friend to bring gasoline for Bajson's car, died at the scene.
When Augusick learned what happened, she was on her way to her Warsaw hotel room after rehearsal for a concert that would be broadcast across Poland.
It was "the most tragic day of my life," recalls Auguscik, who this weekend embarks on a series of performances that will include a tribute to Bajson.
"I didn't know what I am going to do. The first thought was to jump on the plane the next morning and go back to Chicago. But thanks to my friends, Chicago friends … they told me that I should play the concert because Marek was waiting for this concert. …
"I didn't hear what they said, I didn't sleep much. The next morning came, some makeup artists put on makeup, which I destroyed immediately.
"I went for the final rehearsal, the sound check, didn't sing much, couldn't sing. I was too emotional," adds Auguscik, who was participating in a tribute to the great Polish composer Witold Lutoslawski.
"The hour before the concert, something happened to me, like some kind of energy locked my emotions. Like you are inside a bubble."
Auguscik went on stage and sang what she calls "the most difficult" concert of her life and afterward was "trying to hide all the emotions" she felt.
But, of course, when she returned to Chicago she had to face her loss.
"It's very tough to come back to an empty place," says Auguscik. "The thing I missed most is the conversation. You lose the person that you shared your thoughts (with). When I was on the road, I really loved to call him and talk about things. It's very difficult without that. You can talk with your friends, but it's not the same.
"The first year people said is (most) difficult. I was sick the first time without Marek. ... You have to welcome the first time winter, first summer, first spring and fall. So it's going to be always the first time, and then you're used to it.
"That's how it is. I know everybody has to face it someday, to lose the closest (person).
"But for me it's only one problem: It's too soon and suddenly."
For Auguscik, the loss was all the greater because Bajson was not only her partner but also a kind of kindred spirit in her life's work. He designed graphics for her web site, Facebook page, albums and posters. He regularly pursued people who sold copies of her music without permission and he guarded her other interests.
As she said during his funeral, Bajson "gave me the energy that I needed to sustain my personal needs and my professional passions. So often, he lived his life through mine, always by my side, in flesh or in spirit."
So Auguscik now battles to rebuild her life.
She hastens to note, however, that she has at least one indestructible ally in her quest to recover: music.
This weekend she will play two major shows, and she's busily planning a memorial concert for Bajson on March 22 at the Jesuit Millennium Center on West Irving Park Road.
"Music helps me a lot – music is my therapy," says Auguscik, who has invited many Chicago musicians who have worked with her through the years to play the memorial. She also hopes to display at the event some of Bajson's graphics work, which she's continually discovering on his computer late at night.
"I try to prepare this night to be nice ... and not very sad," says Auguscik.
One Chicago musician who has worked with her longer than most, singer-guitarist Paulinho Garcia, feels hopeful about Augusick's future.
"She's been OK, she is trying to cope with the loss," says Garcia, who knows something about what Auguscik is going through. He lost his wife in 1996, when she was 42.
Bajson, says Garcia, "was a very, very nice man, a very good friend of mine. He was a great help for the two of us. He would do everything for us. ... He was not just a fan of hers but amazing help.
"But she's been OK. She's trying hard. She's a very strong woman. ... She's going to be around for many, many years."
Certainly she has a great deal to say in music. On Saturday afternoon, she will celebrate music of Chopin at PianoForte Studios accompanied by pianist Ben Lewis. Augusick has become one of the world's leading jazz interpreters of Chopin's work, as anyone who attended her massive, bicentennial tribute to his birth at Millennium Park in 2010 can attest. Here were Chopin preludes, nocturnes, mazurkas and other works transformed through jazz improvisation by Augusick and several leading Polish and Chicago instrumentalists.
Saturday's recital with Lewis clearly will be far more intimate in scale, but the ethereal tone and uncommon liquidity of Auguscik's vocals always have been the central appeal of her work.
As guitarist Garcia observes, "She has a very beautiful voice (and) her intonation is so good that it is a challenge for me. When you play the guitar, you play a lot of complex chords, and with speed it's hard to control – sometimes you go a little out of tune. Once you have a very good singer like Grazyna, who has very nice intonation, it's a challenge to keep it in tune. She's like an instrument."
After the Chopin concert, Auguscik will catch her breath for a few hours, then head to Katerina's, where on Saturday evening she will reprise a project examining the music of British songwriter Nick Drake, marking the 40th anniversary of his death.
Subsequent shows at the Green Mill and further European tours suggest Auguscik is putting her life and music back together, despite all that has happened.
Her friends and family have gotten her this far, she says.
"We can talk about preparation, but there is no such thing like that – when the thing comes, we know how we are going to react," says Auguscik. "And it's coming to me right now, with every little detail, every little place in my mind, I see Marek everywhere."
Even so, she continues to sing.
"I will stay with this till the end of my life," says Augusick, who perhaps heals by healing others.
Grazyna Auguscik performs jazz interpretations of music of Chopin with pianist Ben Lewis at 3 p.m. Saturday at PianoForte Studios, 1335 S. Michigan Ave.; $20; pianofortefoundation.org or 312-291-0291. She explores music of Nick Drake at 10 p.m. Saturday at Katerina's, 1920 W. Irving Park Rd.; $15; 773-348-7592 or katerinas.com. And "We Will Play for Marek," a memorial concert for Marek Bajson, will feature Auguscik and colleagues 8 p.m. March 22 at the Jesuit Millenium Center, 5835 W. Irving Park Rd.; grazynaauguscik.com.

They solved my payment problem in a few days
I subscribed for Hugh Sung piano lesson (3 months + 1 free, 105 $). When I completed my registration process and confirmed the payment with my credit card codes, clicked ok and got a "Paypal error - invalid token". From my online banking I could see the 105$ difference, but didn't receive any confirmation email of the paymeny and site registration from ArtistWorks. I sent an email to their customer service, but they didn't reply for 2 days. Then I sent a private message through their Facebook page, and after an hour they replied they were sorry for the problem, they had reset my account and everything was fine. I received the confirmation email and now I can access the site. I was really worried especially because this is an auto-renewal payment and didn't have any access/control of my account; eventually everything went fine. Good customer service. Giacomo, Italy

Only if Dunleavy could have held on to the ball.
i'd rather hav went out with a 3 point attempt.. r boyz will be tired in Denver. I would'nt be suprised if we hav a Tskitishvili sighting tomorrow..
Damn after my team practice was over, i caught the game driving back down to LA. People were staring at me wierd when i was driving through Bakersfield since I was pounding my fists into the steering wheel when Davis made the tying shot and pounding it again when Dunleavy caught the ball out of bounds. DOH!
But all in all that was a great game. Next time, the Warriors need to get the win.

PowerColor 6850 PCS+ Review
One thing's for sure, AMD is really pushing hard at the mid-range segment right now to eke all it can out of the current recession. When that means better performance for cheaper prices, I'm not complaining! Instead of pushing the 6000 series forward with brute force, AMD is instead focusing this series on efficiency. Its current flagship, the 6870, has some specs that would give the impression of lesser performance when compared to the 5870. However, with AMD's chip advances, the 6000 series handily beats out is older counterparts with much more efficient hardware and processes. In fact, AMD is claiming over 35% more performance per square millimeter over its previous generation of cards. On top of that, AMD is reportedly using 25% less silicon than the 5850. This means more performance requiring less power and generating less heat. Along with the new process technology, AMD is bundling this new generational step with up to 2x faster tessellation and geometry throughput and multiple other features to keep its cards ahead of the game.
With the HD 6850 PCS+, Powercolor is upping its offering beyond just reference designs as per the usual. This time, a much beefier cooling system has been slapped on and fairly substantial overclocks have been applied right out of the box. I am quite excited to see just how well this card stacks up against the slew of other cards saturating the market at this time.
Closer Look:
The PCS+ edition's packaging follows a sleek racing theme. Powercolor boasts its slogan "Unleash the gaming power" right underneath its logo in the top left of the box. The packaging boasts the card's tri-display Eyefinity support, as well as its full gigabyte of GDDR5 RAM and its four display connections. The included Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 game gets its own sticker as well. Flipping over to the back, there is a huge laundry list of features, such as Direct X 11 support, CrossfireX compatibility, and Stereo 3D support.
Opening the box, a plain brown box pulls out that opens right up to the business. The card sits right on top in a protective antistatic bag. The sparse accessory bundle sits right underneath the card tray.
The accessory bundle includes an unlabeled driver disc, a quick start guide, a DVI to VGA adapter, a crossfire bridge, and the Modern Warfare 2 pamphlet containing the Steam download key.
Everything is pretty standard so far, so let's take a look at the card itself.

I thought maybe that was just to set things up, and that we'd eventually see another side to her that was nicer and more likable, but after tonight, I'm thinking that's about all there is.
Now, when she started telling Phaedra Parks about her childhood, and how her mother deserted her when she was young, and how difficult that was, I started feeling for her. Then she went to the charity event hosted by new girl Porsha Stewart, and she pretty much lost any sympathy she may have gained. Her challenging childhood may help explain her bad behavior, but it doesn't excuse it.
Let's take a minute to discuss Porsha, though. Like, is she for real? And why the hell did her husband, Kordell Stewart, come into the charity event to ogle her and give her a Chanel bag? It was bizarre. She's bizarre. And I can't wait to see more of her and her chirpy little voice this season, especially now that she and Kenya have already come to blows.
Anyway, Kenya had a bad attitude at the event from the get-go, saying that she's "part of history" and this was beneath her. Then Porsha went and twisted her title when introducing her, and she was livid. Should Porsha have known that Kenya was Miss USA instead of Miss America? I suppose that in the name of due diligence she should have before introducing her, but the woman barely knows what the word "recession" means, so Kenya should have let it slide.
Instead she was furious over the mistake and acted every bit the diva she is. She told the cameras it was as offensive as someone calling Michelle Obama the First Lady of Zimbabwe. Did I mention she was a little narcissistic?
When she got up to go outside in the middle of the meal, it was just plain rude. It was an event for charity and she should have put her ego aside and sucked it up for a good cause. But she couldn't even be bothered to feign a headache and leave; instead she was just going to hightail it out of there without even saying goodbye. "This heifer gets on the microphone and calls me Miss America," she told her friend Lawrence who was en route to the party.
Kenya wasn't able to make a stealth escape, however, because Porsha came outside for the second time to kick Kenya out of the party. Kenya called the event "whack" and told Porsha to Google her. But Porsha got in the last biting blow. "You're so old!" she told Kenya. Ouch. I don't see a reconciliation coming anytime soon, do you?
Do you think Kenya overreacted?

Communities around the world are acknowledging the need for creativity to spark innovation as economies transition from historic bases in manufacturing to a new era of connected knowledge.
Moving from creative imagination to useful realization requires a process of design. Opportunities are everywhere: in the clothes we wear; in the bikes we ride, the cars we drive, and the roads we move on; in the tools we use; in the things we watch and read; in the places where we eat, sleep, work and play; in the ways we run our organizations and exchange our products, services and ideas.
Approaching design opportunities, we begin by making an educated guess about how best to serve the purpose. We reflect this hypothesis through creation of an object or process that instantiates it; then we stand back and and take a look. We critique the result from multiple perspectives: Who will use this result? Can they access it well? Does it address all facets of the need? Is it sustainable? We identify flaws or omissions and address them, effecting improvements as we modify the design. Then we then we stand back and take another look, critique, and modify further.
As this iterative process proceeds, we both employ and create knowledge. Design is a process of learning and designers are particularly well equipped for that most important of 21st-century skills, the ability to learn.
With the daunting pace and complexity of new knowledge development, and in light of psychologists' understanding that people think and learn in different ways, we need new educational methods as well as updated curricula. The increasingly familiar "STEM to STEAM" mantra recognizes this need, acknowledged no less by the United States Congress through last year's House Resolution 319:
"Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that adding art and design into Federal programs that target the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields encourages innovation and economic growth in the United States."
This act of Congress culminated efforts by members of an international research network, which results from historic collaboration between the US National Science Foundation and National Endowment for the Arts. Currently, "SEAD" network members are developing advocacy strategies to increase recognition, curricula, policy changes, and funding for such broadly interdisciplinary work.
Economic development benefits from a similarly broad purview, through enabling teams that are not only interdisciplinary, but diverse also with respect to community and economic sectors. Experience show this sort of project-focused cross-connecting to be nothing less than a reliable a formula for productive, profitable innovation.

Efficacy and Safety of Memantine Hydrochloride in Enhancing the Cognitive Abilities of Young Adults With Down Syndrome

|Condition or disease
|Down Syndrome
|Drug: Memantine Drug: Placebo
|Phase 4
Hide Detailed Description
Down syndrome, which is the result of the trisomy of Chromosome 21, is the most common genetically defined cause of intellectual disabilities. The estimated number of people with Down syndrome in the United States is approximately 300,000, and this figure is expected to continue increasing due to projected increases in the life expectancy of people with Down syndrome. Although this population trend reflects improvements in the general health care of individuals with Down syndrome, there has not been a parallel progress in the understanding of the pathogenesis and potential treatment of the psychological and neurological components of this genetic condition. These include various degrees of intellectual disability, increased incidence of seizure disorder in relation to the general population, motor dysfunction (including hypotonia), abnormal oculomotor and vestibular functions, substantial visual deficits, a neuropathology indistinguishable from Alzheimer disease, and increased incidence of major depression and dementia in adults.
Over the last fifteen years, progress in the quantitative description of specific traits associated with Down syndrome, the availability of postnatal-viable aneuploid mouse models of Down syndrome, and our progressively more sophisticated knowledge of the human and mouse genomes have provided investigators in this field with a realistic opportunity to start bridging the gap between basic and clinical research.
Whereas individuals with Down syndrome maintain relatively high levels of social intelligence and procedural learning, they often suffer from grossly impaired declarative or explicit memory. Not surprisingly, brain structures associated with declarative memory, namely the hippocampal and parahippocampal regions of the medial temporal lobe, are the most severely affected in persons with Down syndrome. The nature of these deficits suggests that therapies targeting hippocampal function would be particularly efficacious in ameliorating the cognitive deficits seen in persons with Down syndrome and, consequently, would enhance their quality of life.
Glutamatergic neurons form the major excitatory system in the brain and play a pivotal role in many physiological functions. Apart from the physiological role of glutamate, excessive activation of its receptors can also evoke neuronal dysfunction and even damage/death. Cell death ascribed to an excessive activation of glutamate receptors has been termed 'excitotoxicity' and seems to occur in acute insults such as stroke and trauma, but it may be also associated with chronic neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer disease. N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor (NMDAR) mediated glutamate excitotoxicity is thought to play a major role in Aβ-induced neuronal death. This idea is part of the foundation of the glutamatergic hypothesis (as opposed to the cholinergic hypothesis) for Alzheimer disease.
Memantine is an NMDAR antagonist that has been reported to be effective therapeutically in Alzheimer disease. It has been available in Germany as well as in most of the European Union for more than two decades. Recently, it has been approved for moderate to severe dementia in the US. The chemical name for memantine hydrochloride is 1-amino-3,5-dimethyladamantane hydrochloride. Memantine is an uncompetitive, moderate affinity, antagonist of NMDARs. It has been proposed that therapeutic doses of this drug inhibit the pathological effect of NMDAR activation while leaving unaffected NMDAR-mediated physiological processes involved in learning and memory. Recent preclinical data from the laboratory of this trial's P.I. on the mouse model for DS (Ts65Dn) have suggested a dysregulation of NMDAR activity in these animals and demonstrated improvement on learning and memory measures by the use of acute doses of memantine.
In all clinical trials so far, memantine was found safe and well tolerated. The tolerability of an NMDAR antagonist depends upon its affinity towards the receptors, unbinding kinetics, and voltage dependency. Memantine is thought to improve the fidelity of synaptic transmission. Such action is predicted to provide both neuroprotection and symptomatic restoration of synaptic plasticity by one and the same mechanism.
Recent open-label studies suggest that memantine may be clinically useful and well tolerated in young individuals with other conditions that produce cognitive disabilities, such as autism and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Because of the ubiquity of Alzheimer disease-type pathology in persons with Down syndrome, the preclinical findings consistent with dysregulation of NMDAR activity in mouse models of Down syndrome, the safety profile of memantine (which is superior to the AChE inhibitors that are already being tested in persons with Down syndrome), and the possibility that memantine may indeed delay the onset of Alzheimer disease-type pathology in young adults with Down syndrome, all the professionals involved with this project decided that a small-scale randomized controlled clinical trial was warranted at present.
We would like to emphasize that the goal of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, tolerability and safety of memantine hydrochloride in enhancing the cognitive abilities of young adults with Down syndrome aged 18-32 years. Therefore, the present investigation is a non-overlapping and complementary clinical trial to the randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial on the efficacy and tolerability of memantine in preventing age-related cognitive deterioration and dementia in people with Down syndrome age 40 and over (http://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/record/NCT00240760?term=down+syndrome&rank=15) currently being carried out by our colleagues in London.

The Prime Minister's Office (PMO) is comprised of the executive staff of the prime minister, and plays a central role in the governance of Canada. This highly partisan organization acts not only as a source of support and policy advice for the prime minister, but also as a mechanism for centralizing political power. This article provides an introduction to the PMO, with a focus on its responsibilities, organization, and key issues.
An issue of some contention — one that has resulted in an intersection between the areas of federal government tax policy and Canadian federalism — is the merging of separate federal and provincial sales taxes into a single tax, known as the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST). The HST represents an important form of cooperation between different levels of government and, at the same time, a source of debate — particularly in the realms of provincial politics. This article provides an introduction to the HST and explores topics including its origins/history and key debates.
Canada is an increasingly culturally and ethnically diverse nation. One of the key policy responses to this diversity has been official multiculturalism, first introduced in the early 1970s. While multiculturalism is nearly 40 years old in Canada, it nevertheless remains a highly controversial and debated issue. This article provides an introduction to multiculturalism in Canada at the federal level.
The Privy Council Office of Canada represents a key central agency in the federal government. As the pinnacle of the federal bureaucracy, officials in the Privy Council Office play an important role in the formulation and implementation of public policy at the highest levels of government. Even though the Privy Council Office plays a significant role in government decision making, the general public tends to know little about its operation and activities.
The Treasury Board of Canada represent a key entity within the federal government. As an important cabinet committee and central agency, they play an important role in financial and personnel administration. Even though the Treasury Board plays a significant role in government decision making, the general public tends to know little about its operation and activities. The following article provides an introduction to the Treasury Board, with a focus on its history, responsibilities, organization, and key issues.
With the global economic recession of 2008-09, and the various attempts by the Canadian government and its counterparts around the world to address their economic difficulties, the issue of fiscal policy has come to the fore, earning significant public attention. This article provides an introduction to Canadian fiscal policy at the federal level of government.
Employment insurance in Canada is a legacy of the Great Depression, and remains a pillar of the nation's modern social programs. Since its creation in 1940, the program has undergone many significant evolutions, both philosophically and structurally. Moreover, debate over the program has remained constant throughout its existence, and is still present in contemporary political discourse. This feature provides an introduction to the history, administration, and issues relating to Employment Insurance in Canada.
Campaign finance refers to the rules that govern the use of money in electoral processes such as general elections, by-elections, and referenda. In this context, Canada has adopted a broad set of rules in relation to key political actors, including election candidates, political parties, electoral district associations, and third parties. This article provides an introduction to federal campaign finance laws, including their history, content, and administration. It also explores a number of key issues regarding the regulation of money in elections.

The Green Bay Packers (6-3) will put both a four-game overall winning streak and eight-game division streak on the line Sunday when they travel to Detroit to take on the Lions (4-5).
Green Bay hasn't lost since blowing an 18-point lead to the Indianapolis Colts in Week 5, while the Lions remain the last team from the NFC North to beat the Packers, a feat they accomplished in Detroit back in Dec. of 2010.
A win Sunday for Green Bay would set a new franchise record for consecutive wins against the division (nine). Previously, the Packers won eight straight division games in both 1996-97 and 2001-02.
Here are some other things you could watch Sunday:
Three Keys to Unlocking the Division Door
On Wednesday, Packers head coach Mike McCarthy made it known that his formula for winning games against the NFC North (McCarthy is 28-9 since 2006) is far from complicated. Win the battle of turnovers, third downs and penalties, and good things happen.
The Packers have mostly followed McCarthy's plan against the NFC North, especially recently. Over the current eight-game win streak inside the division, Green Bay is plus-10 in turnovers, slightly behind the opposition in third down conversions (.367 to .396) and guilty of half the total penalties (35 to 70). The Packers will need to again be sharp in all three areas Sunday to run the win streak to nine.
Emotions Run High
While Packers-Bears and Packers-Vikings might be better overall rivalries, emotions seem to run higher when Green Bay plays the Lions. Most can recall Ndamukong Suh's stomp on Evan Dietrich-Smith last November, but former Packers cornerback Pat Lee was ejected from the same game for throwing a punch on a punt return. With the Lions playing at home with their playoff hopes on the line, expect another emotional contest Sunday.
However, that emotion has occasionally meant an abundance of penalties, especially from Detroit. Over the last two games against Green Bay, the Lions have committed 21 penalties for 183 yards—with a bunch of the 15-yard variety. Remember, Suh's stomp turned a likely field goal try into a Packers touchdown last season in Detroit.
The Lions are still that chippy, after-the-whistle football team, so playing with composure will again be a must. The Packers can't join in on any self-destructive behavior Sunday, no matter the circumstance.
No Clay, No Problem?
The Packers will be playing without linebacker Clay Matthews (hamstring) for just the third time in his four-year career, and the results haven't been pretty in those previous contests.
With Matthews sitting out because of a hamstring injury in 2010, Dolphins quarterback Chad Henne completed 10 passes to Brandon Marshall for 127 yards and wasn't sacked in a 23-20 overtime win for Miami. Matthews then rested in the season finale in January, and the Lions scored 41 points as Matthew Stafford threw for 520 yards and five touchdowns (244 yards and one touchdown going to Calvin Johnson).
Sunday should present another difficult challenge.
The Lions come into Week 11 as the No. 1 passing offense in the NFL at over 300 yards a game, which only compounds the production missing from Matthews in the pass rush. According to Pro Football Focus, Matthews has totalled nearly a third of the team's total quarterback disruptions and nine of the team's 28 sacks. How successful defensive coordinator Dom Capers is in generating pressure with a combination of Erik Walden, Dezman Moses and Frank Zombo may determine whether this is a classic slugfest (like in Detroit in 2011) or another wild shootout.
Changes Up Front
After starting the first nine weeks of the season with the same five offensive linemen, the Packers will head to Detroit with two positions featuring different names. In response to Bryan Bulaga (hip) going on IR, left guard T.J. Lang shifts to right tackle, and Evan Dietrich-Smith, who started two games at right guard last season, takes over at Lang's spot. Both players have experience at the new position, but it's an adjustment regardless.
The inside of the line—Dietrich-Smith, Jeff Saturday and Josh Sitton—might face the biggest test. Suh and 2011 first-round pick Nick Fairley are big, destructive forces. According to Lions coach Jim Schwartz, both are also coming off their best performance of 2012 against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 10. And while the Packers held their ground against the Lions defensive line last season, former center Scott Wells played well in each game. Can Saturday (more of a finesse player) replicate how Wells handled the two, especially with Dietrich-Smith to his left?
Domefield Advantage
There was a time not so long ago when the Packers self-destructed time and time again inside domes. Those days are long gone, and quarterback Aaron Rodgers playing indoors may just be the trump card for the Packers Sunday.
The numbers for Rodgers in controlled environments are downright silly. In 19 career starts in domes (including the postseason), Rodgers has completed 434 of 602 passes (68.7 percent) for 5,691 yards, 47 touchdowns and seven interceptions. His passer rating of 117.0 indoors is the best mark in NFL history.
Want more numbers? Rodgers has thrown for 300 or more yards in 13 of those 19 games in domes, and only four times has his passer rating finished below 110. You can pick the hyperbole to describe his play recently. Over his last eight games indoors, Rodgers has 25 touchdowns and just one interception, good for a passer rating of 127.9. In seven of the eight, Rodgers finished with over 300 yards and a passer rating over 100.0.
These two are familiar opponents, and that typically lends itself to the defensive side of the football. However, coordinators Dom Capers and Gunther Cunningham will have to come up with masterful game plans to keep this from being a shootout. Not having Clay Matthews is a killer for Capers, and there isn't a defensive coordinator in football that can figure out Rodgers in doors over the last couple of seasons. Both offenses should be trending up, too; The Lions can now run the football with Mikel Leshoure, and the Packers are getting back Jordy Nelson at close to 100 percent. The difference Sunday will be one forced throw from Stafford, while Rodgers avoids the game-changing mistake. Packers win a 72-point thriller.
Packers 38, Lions 34 (Season record: 4-5)

On the corner of 155th and Frederick Douglas Boulevard in Harlem lies Rucker Park. By appearances, the concrete pavement, anchored on one side by its run down slab bleachers, is no different than any other basketball court in the city, but this is the place where nicknames are indelibly branded, and legends are born.
On Sept. 1, 2006, the top 24 high school basketball players in the nation stepped out on this court, that once saw the likes of Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Dr. J to compete in the first annual "Elite 24" all-star game. "Gunnin' for That #1 Spot" follows eight of these players as they prepare to showcase their skills at the most legendary playground in the world.

Name: Jay Freerking
Hometown: Mauston, Wis.
Title: Math teacher, JV girls' head basketball coach
Business: Cuba City High School
Jay arrived at Lakeland with a passion for math and basketball. Now, a few short years later, he's enjoying a blossoming career that involves both interests.
The 2011 Lakeland grad teaches mathematics and is the head girls JV basketball coach at Cuba City High School.
"My mom was a teacher, and I wanted to follow in her footsteps, help people out and pass that passion on to my students," says Jay. "I always enjoyed math and crunching numbers."
Jay, who stands 6-10, had to stop playing basketball at Lakeland due to a back injury. But he continued to be a part of the program, supporting his teammates and learning nuances of the game while steadily sparkling in the classroom. That combination of academic and extra-curricular dedication planted the seeds for his career.
Always a self-starter and motivated person, Jay blanketed the state's schools with applications as his college graduation approached. When Cuba City High School called him with an offer to interview, he jumped in the car and drove 192 miles. As he pulled back into the Lakeland campus more than three hours after leaving Cuba City, he received a call with a job offer. He had a full-time job before graduating.
At Lakeland, Jay says, he developed his own philosophies on teaching based on what he learned in the classroom and from his professors. In addition, he enjoyed delving deeper into math.
"My experience at Lakeland was worthwhile," he says now. "If I had to sum it up with one word, it would be worthwhile. Everything fell into place for me there."

15 Homemade Snacks for the Lunchbox
I cannot believe school is starting already! My husband, a professor, begins his fall semester tomorrow, and school buses were doing a dry run this morning at the elementary school next door. It's time for the lunchbox to emerge from the dark cupboard you stashed it in all summer, and it's time to stock it with some good snacks for fall. Here are 15 favorites — all homemade and yummy. Some are better for kids, some for adults. But everything will add a homemade note to the lunchbox.
Before we plunge into this list, though, a reminder: Don't forget fruit! I love cut-up watermelon or little balls of cantaloupe as snacks at the end of the summer.
• 1 4-Ingredient Banana Oat Bars - Gluten-free. Made with dates instead of white sugar.
• 2 Homemade Cheddar Crackers - Super cheesy!
• 3 Crunchy Granola Bars - Crisp and nutty.
• 4 How To Make Great Granola Every Time - A little cup of granola makes an energizing afternoon snack.
• 5 How to Make Cinnamon-Raisin Swirl Bread - Not just for breakfast!
• 6 Oven-Dried Apple Chips - Dehydrated apple slices, dried in the oven.
• 7 Spicy Baked Plantain Chips - Baked plantains are really satisfying.
• 8 Roasted Curried Chickpeas with Rosemary and Thyme - Another hearty and satisfying snack.
• 9 Cheesy Spicy Popcorn - A big baggie of cheesy popcorn is always a welcome treat!
• 10 Maple-Butter Spiced Popcorn - A sweeter popcorn snack.
• 11 Savory Oatmeal Cookies - A savory twist on an oatmeal cookie.
• 12 Veggies Stored In Dip - A good way to pack veggies (make homemade creamy dip with this recipe).
• 13 Milk and Honey Peanut Butter Balls - Peanut butter fudge, for kids.
• 14 Wasabi-Toasted Nori Crisps - Light and crisp Japanese snacks.
• 15 Raw Avocado Lime Mousse - Pack a little tub of this good stuff with some rice cakes to stave off afternoon hunger.
What's your favorite lunchbox snack? Little treats and nibbles to round out the day?

IRFA but there was another suggestion out ... of government ratings system for college and the awesome ... I'm sure the college's realize what a threat this is to them and everything they do it and it may take some time to for them they wrap their minds around it because obviously most people work on college campuses ... and the kids to study their love President Obama but that ... the government he wants now to get in the business of deciding which schools are ... are doing a good job and which are and who is giving you a lot educational bang for the buck in who wins is charging too much in ... and what this is basically a qualitative and quantitative judgment on ... academics at these various goals and not as much as we might get outraged by some things that happened a long universe the family I don't think we want the government ... dictating and basically deciding now what happens in this country has such a perfect track record in picking winners and Brian and I wanna move to another real area of intonation which of these massive online course in writing and other kinds of online learning ...

Quiet and brief, Monday's Veterans Day observance in Hood River lacked the awaited jet flyover but was grounded in reverence and respect.
More than 200 people, ranging from veterans with canes to six-year-old Cub Scouts, stood or sat at Overlook Memorial Park as the community paid its respects to America's veterans.
As pastor Michael Harrington said in his invocation, "Never forget the sacrifices that were made so we can enjoy this freedom of ours."
Guest speaker RaeLynn Gill, a "Marine Mom," called on the crowd to learn about the sacrifices that went into the founding of the American republic, and to remember the dedication that soldiers give from the day they start training.
Her son, Jesse, 20, last summer completed basic training in what she called "the toughest boot camp in the US. Armed Forces." He is currently a student at Oregon State University.
"Those soldiers are protecting the freedoms and civil rights they're giving up while doing the training," Gill, who is a reporter for the Hood River News. "They do so in the same spirit of sacrifice that created the greatest country on earth."
Gill said, "Today my heart goes out to the other mothers and fathers of men and women in military service. As a Marine Mom I know my son is ready to be called upon to give his life to protect our freedoms." Gill also has a son, Luke, 19, who is a student at Eastern Washington State University.
Gill noted that 1.4 million people have died in military service since the War of Independence.
"We need to never forget those ultimate sacrifices that have been made by those men and women and their families," she said.
Gill recounted sending her son off to camp with a bag of toiletries and $20 and nothing else, and then rejoicing as well as worrying over letters home.
"I particularly looked forward to the letters home," she said. "It brought tears to my eyes to read those letters," as Jesse recounted the physical and emotional rigors of boot camp.
"Please remember the heroes and the fellow soldiers who loved this nation by showing their patriotism with active service," she said.
"Whether or not you agree with the (government's) policies, the people in the military service need our respect," Gill said, to applause from the crowd.
"It's easy to engage in a political discussion in the warmth of your home over a hot cup of coffee," she went on. "But remember it's the men and women of the armed services that have given you that freedom to sit there and know you're protected."
"We need to be sure we thank (the veterans) who are here today. Remember the heroes — the people whose names are inscribed on the post behind me," Gill said, pointing to the memorial stone with the names of Hood River County's military fallen.
"Walk away knowing that (members of the military) start their sacrifice on your behalf from day one," she said.
Matt Ihle of Hood River brought his two sons, Luke, 8, and David, 4, to hear such a message.
"I think it's imporant that they understand that their privileges have been bought with a price," Ihle said.
Luke said, "I thought the speeches were cool — especially the one about boot camps."
Veterans Harvey Crapper and Jerry Willis both praised the service at Overlook Park.
"I thought it was a very good service. And it was a good sized crowd," said Crapper, a veteran of the Coast Guard in War II, former Hood River Legion post commander, and 57-year member of the post.
Willis, who described his military service as "on the edge of 'Nam and just before it," served in the Navy in the Caribbean as an electrician's mate during the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. Willis was aboard a vessel that helped escort Soviet ships carrying missiles out of Cuba.
"It was almost a war. You didn't know what would happoen next," he said.
