City reviews factors to gain properties
Before deciding whether or not to purchase property the city of Alpena takes into consideration variables to help determine if acquiring the property fits with its master plan and if it can be afforded.
During Monday's Alpena Municipal Council meeting City Manager Greg Sundin informed the council that the city has been approached about possibly purchasing two pieces of property on State Avenue, each of which sit along city parks. One of the properties is the Beach Motel and the second is a home just to the left of the tennis courts at Bay View Park. The home is one of three that partially block the view of the bandshell near the shoreline of Thunder Bay. Clerk/Treasurer Karen Hebert said when economic times were less harsh a few years ago the city would purchase property that would fit well with other city owned recreation areas.
"When we had money for development, we would look closely at the ones that would expand our parks and if the location of the building, home or business was by a park those will help us," Hebert said. "We look at what the asking price is and the price we think we can afford. Right now funds are lower and we have to ask ourselves if we want to spend our money that way?"
Sundin said because of the current condition of the real estate market buying land isn't as costly as several years ago. He said the recession has changed everything, because it has caused steep loss of revenue and the city doesn't have as much money in its budget for large property acquisitions.
"Property values are obviously down from what they were five or six years ago and there are lower interest rates, but the city's financial position isn't what it was five or six years ago either," Sundin said. "There is a balance you have to look at. Yes, it is a good time to buy, but can the city afford to do it and that is why you have to look closely at is it in the best interest of the city."
Sundin said the city previously purchased the Lakeside Hotel near the beach and it ended up costing the city more money than what the sale price was. He said that is why it's important to do research on the property before a transaction occurs.
"The question isn't just about the buying of the property, but that we would then have to remove or demolish the building and then face any issues like any underground storage tanks that might be there," Sundin said. "We ran into that with the previous hotel we purchased and we weren't expecting it. It adds cost, so you have to look at everything or there can be a lot of added costs."
Hebert said the city staff will review the proposals for the land on State Avenue and if the council decides it would like to make a purchase, the money can be acquired.
"We'll take a look at it and we'll get some values and talk to the owners to see what they want," Hebert said. "Once we get an idea of what it will cost we can pay for it a few different ways. We could do an installment loan and fortunately we have a lot of our loans paid off and we don't have a lot of debt right now. We have taken out a lot of little loans, most of them are paid off. So if the council wanted to make an investment we could."
Sundin said the city could make a property purchase without the approval of city residents via an election, but must put any potential sale on a ballot for the people to decide.

Western Digital plans to acquire sTec to boost its presence in the market for enterprise solid-state drives.
Flash storage vendor STEC is super-sizing the kind of flash storage used in smartphones and portable music players, coming out on Monday with 2TB SSDs in configurations for enterprise equipment vendors.
In a bid to maximize the speed advantage of solid-state storage, more vendors are promoting approaches that move it closer to the CPUs that process stored data.
Flash storage vendor STEC will be able to offer a five-year warranty on the next generation of its Zeus SSDs (solid-state disks) regardless of the technology they use.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

New York City high schools will get bonus points for graduates who go to college, but not the military, reports the New York Post. The points could raise a school's A-F grade on the annual progress report.
When a principal asked about points for grads who choose to enlist in the armed forces, he was shot down.
"The military isn't college. It doesn't count," the group was told.
In response to principals' protests, the city education department will start gathering data on graduates who enlist in the military or enter skilled trades for a career section planned for fall, 2013.

Topic: Fixtures with No Underlying DB
I know this should be simple, but I have a bunch of forms that simply don't store data but rather email their contents to the appropriate recipients. The forms dupe AR into doing validations, but when I get to testing (I know it should be first), I can't quite get things rigged right because all I want to do is load data from a fixture to toss good and broken info at the model.
Rails tests try to load fixtures into a database table, but as I've explained, in my case there isn't one. Any thoughts about how best to test things like this?

Posted on 04/04/2012 7:49:59 AM PDT by rawhide
An airport security worker was arrested after throwing a cup of hot coffee over a pilot who told her to stop swearing.
Transportation Security Administrator (TSA) Lateisha El, 30, was in the middle of a conversation with work colleagues at a JFK Airport terminal when she was interrupted by the American Airlines pilot.
Off-duty airman Steven Trivett, 54, was exiting terminal 8 when he overheard El swearing and asked her to tone down the profanity.
Trivett, of Butler, Tennessey, told them they should 'conduct themselves more professionally in uniform and not use profanity or the n-word,' according to the New York Post.
One TSA screener told Trivett to 'mind his own business' and swore at him.
Trivett then identified himself as a 'TSA officer' - an armed pilot - before trying to grab the ID tags of screener El to get her name.
But Port Authority police sources told the newspaper that El responded by hurling a 'full cup' cup of hot coffee over the pilot.
El, of Brooklyns East New York, was charged with harassment and misdemeanor-assault for the incident at 5am on March 28.
(Excerpt) Read more at dailymail.co.uk ...
She did it because of Trayvon, you racists.
When are those doggone Canadians going to get a grip on themselves?
where's "Butler, Tennessey">?
The TSA gal may not be one of them, BUT, "El" and "Bey" are commonly associated with adopted last names with those who show allegiance to the Moorish Science Temple, a known prison gang.
Food for thought on what constitutes screening for TSA employees...
Did anybody read this in the NY Post or was it spiked by the PC Gestapo? I'm thinking I need a subscription to the UK Daily Mail just to get all the news that doesn't fit the lamestream media.
Dead give away.
Lateisha El
Lateisha . . . hmmmmm . . . lemmeee guess . . . she's probably of a protected class and descendant of former slaves.
They sure have been getting feisty lately since the Kenyan-born occupant of our White House and his racist hack in the AG office have considered "non-African Americans" scum.
My guess is that she has anger management issues.
Zimmerman's fault.
Burger King meet JFK.
Lateisha El....Amish. Has to be Amish
Here is the Post article.
What it doesn't say is whether Lateisha was fired after the incident. She was probably given a raise by the TSA.
Feisty isn't the half of it. This is getting scary. I have a feeling this story will turn out to have the usual victim and the usual suspect:
a very long way from New York, apparently.
Clearly the pilot's fault. It can't be a TSA agent's fault...
Nuff said!
"I need a subscription to the UK Daily Mail just to get all the news that doesn't fit the lamestream media."
Agree, if I didn't see articles like this on FR from the UK media, I'd never learn of them. News that does not fit the liberal, big government agenda seems to evaporate in the USA.
One more job that a white person could not 'qualify' for in the hands of 'black attitude'.
Give me a break.
And the fact that I'm undoubtedly racist.
Undoubtedly, we have reason for a class action lawsuit,
based on the evidence used in the past to determine the existance of discrimination in hiring.
The TSA, and the government in general, has a huge overrepresentation of the AA demographic compared to their general population ratios, so, obviously, there is discrimination going on in hiring for government jobs.
I want $10 million.
"You can't professionalize unless you federalize."....Tom Daschole............
Was she rock'n a hoodie?
It was tense traveling to NYC last weekend.
I accept New York's melting pot atmosphere but it was a bit much even for a tolerant freedom-loving American. TSA was a snap.
Instead, I found myself staying at a hotel where the Pakistani Physicians' Forum was being held. A swarthy taxi driver sang unintelligible chants as he drove me to the airport. The bar was 98% swarthy men. The atmosphere was calm at the boarding gate despite the very black dude ranting loudly into his cell phone about the volunteer "soldiers" better have street smarts, not book smarts, and that the "war" was imminent.
Any other insight into NYC lately?

We'll be nice until it's time not to be nice.
Then the agitators will find out what 12 to 1 means.
I think Susan Collins also used that remark, in a supportive way of federalizing, I mean.
Let me guess. She's getting a two week paid vacation out of the deal.
Definitely ABW Syndrome.
Butler, Tennessey, is in Johnson County, Tennessey, in the extreme NE corner of the state—so as close to New York as you can get in Tennessey. But not close enough, evidently.
Didn't you know just by reading the title that it was one of those Amish again?
Well I can see where El's Lawyer will take this one. The story sez the Pilot tried to Grab El's badge, THEN she(?) threw the coffee. So El's lawyer will claim self defense because the Pilot assaulted El.
You just know that is how it will go down... Which is why I say we need a culling of the lawyer heard held annually. We setup bait at a McDonalds: a large pot of Hot Coffee and we spill it on a disabled minority woman who is in the USA illegally. When the lawyers start circling the joint we trap 'em and ship 'em off to testing labs so they can be used in place of more likeable vermin like Rats and Cockroaches.
I like the thought and have said much the same thing but it's 8:1. Still more than enough and I just bought two AR-15s and have a metric buttload of ammo coming in the mail so I will better be able to do my part.
War On Words: NYC Dept. Of Education Wants 50 Forbidden Words Banned From Standardized Tests
'Dinosaur,' 'Birthday,' 'Halloween,' 'Poverty,' 'Divorce'
Among Those Suggested
March 26, 2012 7:04 PM
The New York City Department of Education is waging a war on words of sorts, and is seeking to have words they deem upsetting removed from standardized tests.
Words that suggest wealth are excluded because they could make kids jealous. Poverty is also on the forbidden list. Thats something Sy Fliegal with the Center for Educational Innovation calls ridiculous
DC Liberal echo Chamber.............
I can forgive the UK Dailymail their geography transgressions as long as they continue to shine a light on Obama's TSA Gestapo.

Xie Zhenhua : Co-Winner 2003
Xie Zhenhua, the initiator and leader of China's environmental protection programme, has successfully worked to improve China's environment for more than two decades. His leadership has also helped to change the attitude of China's people—a quarter of the world's population—towards the environment.
Xie initiated China's largest ever river basin water pollution treatment campaign, improving access to safe drinking water for over 200 million people. He successfully phased out inefficient production processes in more than 100,000 wasteful and polluting enterprises. Many low-pollution or no-pollution industries have been developed and the discharge of pollutants is decreasing each year.
Xie has also overseen the creation of 1,757 nature reserves—13.2 per cent of the country's area—to conserve biodiversity. To protect a wild camel reserve in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, Xie was able to change the route of the West-East natural gas transmission project—a symbolic project for the development of the western region—despite an additional cost of US$25 million. To avoid damage to a cultural heritage site, Xie persuaded the Beijing Municipal Government to change the route of a proposed subway, at an extra cost of US$120 million.
Over the past decade Xie has promoted numerous forums for prominent international experts. Most of their 500 or so concrete suggestions, channelled through the China Council for International Cooperation on Environment and Development, have been adopted by the Government of China. Xie has also worked to promote public participation. With his support China now has more than 2,000 environmental non-governmental organizations with nearly one million members. He has also put in place measures that encourage the media to publicize environmental quality. Today more than 100 million urban residents can obtain daily information about their city's air quality.
Xie pushed forward China's implementation of the Montreal Protocol by introducing creative approaches to China's phase-out of ozone depleting substances (ODS). According to the World Bank, the total amount of ODS phased out in China accounts for about 50 per cent of all ODS phase-out in the developing world.
Xie has also significantly contributed to the resolution of trans-boundary environmental problems of deep concern to the Asian region, such as sandstorms, acid rain and regional marine pollution. He promoted the first Asia-Europe Environment Ministers' Meeting in Beijing, which created a unique model for environmental cooperation between Asia and Europe.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) - JCPenney
JCP was surging 7.1% to $16.33 in after-hours markets.
Soros Fund Management disclosed in a Securities and Exchange Commission 13G filing, dated April 15, that it bought 17.4 million shares, or a 7.9% stake in the retailer's stock.
The move comes amid the drama that's unfolded at the struggling retailer. Earlier this month, the Plano, Texas-based company announced it was replacing CEO Ron Johnson and bringing back Myron "Mike" Ullman to rejoin the company. The move, announced April 8, was immediately effective. Ullman had served as CEO of JCP until late 2011.
JCP's stock was suffering over criticism that Johnson's strategic move away from coupons and deals and focus on store design was in opposition to what the customer wanted. It's clear that consumers like their deals and coupons.
Soros' investment represents a big bet on JC Penney's turnaround. The retailer wasn't on Soros' SEC 13-F filing in February, which disclosed the fund's holdings as of Dec. 31, 2012.
Soros joins Bill Ackman, whose Pershing Square Capital Management has a nearly 18% stake in the retailer, according to TheDeal, TheStreet's sister publication.
In other news, Starbucks
The company reported second-quarter earnings per share of 51 cents, which included a 3-cent "non-routine gain on the sale of the company's equity in the joint venture that operates Starbucks stores in Mexico." Analysts were expecting the company to post earnings of 48 cents per share.
Starbucks said total net revenue rose 11% in the quarter to $3.55 billion, just shy of analysts' estimates of $3.59 billion. The company raised its full-year earnings per share target range to $2.12-$2.18 from the previous target range of $2.06-$2.15.
Starbucks shares closed up 1.1% to $60.50. Shares were down 2.5% to $59 in after-hours trading.
Retail stocks were also rising Thursday following expectations for a strong first-quarter GDP report to be released on Friday.
Michael Kors
Shares of Michael Kors rose 5.8% to $56.63 on Thursday. Teen retailer Zumiez rose 4.4% to $28.93 while Sears rose 4.5% to $50.52. One of the lone losers of the day: Lululemon

text: Well this cut is not for everyone and not every lady is willing to put up with the rebellious hobo look. But some men do rock it well and if done properly and worn with the proper attire this look is hell of sexy and very desirable. The untamed beard compliments just perfectly the wet and messy bangs which is a must. If you do not have an unshaved beard I would highly suggest you stray away from this cut it might not be for you.

The commerce department reports housing starts rose to the highest level since October of 2008, but that might take a while to see the results in Southern Oregon according to one builder.
At the high point several years ago there were one or two homes being built and sold each week by Malot Construction. Now it's averaging about one home per quarter.
Owner Tom Malot says that example shows how difficult the home-building market is currently. Even with the difficult times for home-builders, Malot says those in the market tend to be drawn to newer homes because of the current low interest rates rather than buying those that are used.

If It's Not Frozen, Paddle It!
Can't wait until spring to begin paddling again? We know what you mean. For those of us that don't have to deal with frozen water and extreme cold temperatures, you can still enjoy paddling with a little preparedness. Think Thickskin! Immersion Research designs and manufacturers paddling gear with a focus on apparel, skirts, jackets, dry suits, layering and more. This month, we are featuring their Thickskin Union Suit. An ACK customer shared the following review with us:
I have used the Thickskin Union Suit on 4 kayak fishing trips over the past 10 days with temperatures ranging from about 32 to 40 degrees Fahrenheit. My first reaction was that this product works just as described.
The obvious function of this suit is to keep you warm and it certainly did so without the need for excessive layering. I wore this suit with a pair of fishing pants, along with a fishing shirt topped with a fleece pullover and some rain gear. That combination kept me very warm at freezing temperatures. Surprisingly, this suit was particularly comfortable. I have noticed that many modern base layers fit particularly tight and can become uncomfortable for extended wear. This suit stayed comfortable for my entire overnight fishing trip. I was so tired when I returned home that I even fell comfortably asleep with it on!
There isn't too much negative I can say about this product. I must say though, getting into the suit through the neck was somewhat awkward at first but I eventually got used to it. I am about 5'11 and 195 lbs and according to the sizing chart I should be a large but I noticed that it seemed a little loose. This could however, be intended.
Keep in mind hat this is a base layer and not intended to be a used as a wet or dry suit. If you plan to get wet, you may want to consider wet or dry suits.
Rating: I would give this product 4 1/2 out of 5 stars. Taking off a half a point for fit because I felt like it could fit a little tighter and still be comfortable. Highly recommend it!

Editor's Note: We are curious, how many of you paddle during the winter months?

I think any type of light "powdery" flour, rubbed into a wood peel and then peel flipped upside down and given a slap with hand on clean side will provide the best non stick with least residual on your under crust surface. But getting your bench flour off the stretched dough first is most all important.And just before launching don't forget to do the Bobby bump.
the "Bobby bump" it really works! I use it all the time
baby food? Cool it works! We use fairly wet dough and as long as you dunk it good in a bowl of flour, get it basically stretched on some loose flour, and lightly dust the wooden peel we rarely have anything stick. When it does it turns into a calzone We use a metal peel to rotate and remove the pies. Walter
baby food?Yep, walter it is the slickest stuff you will ever find I'm tell'in ya.I'm sure folks think I've lost my mind and that is perfectly OK.....more baby food for me!
Bob: I will have to buy a box and give it a try. I wonder if it will burn quicker than flour or change the flavor any? Walter
I sure hope not...but my thinking is that you will only need such a small amount there will be nothing there to burn. You'll see that when you rub it between your fingers it almost completely disappears yet leaves the fingers super slick. Maybe it will do the same on a wood peel...I don't know. The stuff is strange man.
So there's Bob in his crib with his baby cereal...is that cringe-worthy? Depends.
Hi Bob,As a third generation veteran and "lefty" I find your post very offensive. When asked to do our duty, I've never whined, my father never whined and my grandfather never whined. I guess we all did that to protect your right to post the offensive post you just did.That said, I don't feel this is the place to express your political views. Maybe I'm wrong and it will be fine with the Moderators. In the interim,.......self edited obscenity.......
I just quickly grabbed that baby pic from google "images" to throw up for a fast reply because I thought it looked "official" with the seal an all.....wasn't paying attention and I didn't mean to offend you or anyone else, sorry.Politics aren't allowed here on the forum but it has slipped in from time to time....on a couple of those occasions I am on record here for being anti-political(I do my own thing).
Don't worry about it Bob, let him cry.
Thank you for the apology, I appreciate and accept it.Not the crying type here friend. The Forum is supposed to be politics free. I suppose you could ask the owner to change that rule if you do not like it or think it is a bad policy for some reason. Maybe they will change the rule, I don't know.
Well....after all this I just hope that somebody tries my damn baby powder trick on a stupid wood pizza peel MAN!!
Well....after all this I just hope that somebody tries my damn baby powder trick on a stupid wood pizza peel MAN!!
Do you really mean baby "powder" Bob?
Yep.... I've only been talking about it for like years here dude. I lace that stuff with a small amount of wintergreen dust....leaves your breath smelling minty fresh ; try it!
But why are you snorting it?
OK, hoss, are you using baby food or baby powder? I don't even care (because I'm gonna keep using flour), but you're getting real confusing here.
Bob apologized and maybe we should best let this matter rest. I removed one post this morning because I thought it rubbed salt into the wounds and was bound to exacerbate the matter rather than alleviate it. Peter

Mr. Speaker, every week I receive an e-mail from a lady in Zimbabwe. Here is a partial text of this week's e-mail:
Yesterday morning, for the first time in 2 years, I simply could not find any words for my weekly letter. I had succumbed and for days wallowed in the horror of the blatant rigging of every stage of our elections. I finally pulled myself together and decided I would not become another victim. Darlington, a young farm security guard was murdered on Friday and his employer was beaten...[for] having helped MDC polling agents during last weekend's elections. The young man died on his way to the hospital. It took a visit to the hospital and the sight of massive black and purple bruising to put things back into perspective for me. Across the country reports are pouring in of ruling party youths engaged in witch hunts, searching out people suspected of being MDC supporters...[and] evicting them from their [farms]...For the moment the only hope we have is hope itself. Slowly we are coming to terms with what has happened and bracing ourselves for what lies ahead. People are starving and beaten but they are not broken--

Mr. Speaker, each year March 25 marks Greek Independence Day. It is a day when Canadians of Hellenic descent will be celebrating the anniversary of the liberation of their former homeland from 400 years of occupation by the Ottoman Empire.
In 1821 the Hellenes revolted against their oppressors and embarked on their successful war of independence. On this day Hellenes across the country will commemorate a dark period in Greek history when Hellenes lived under the rule of the Ottoman Empire, but they will also celebrate the courageous spirits of their ancestors such as Kolokotronis, Bouboulina and Karaiskakis to name a few. They successfully fought in order to restore the democracy and freedom that was lost to them for so many years.
As Greek Independence Day is observed we must also take note that Cyprus still remains occupied as a result of an aggressive and illegal Turkish invasion, and it is imperative that the Canadian government encourage Turkey to resolve this issue that undermines the democratic principles our ancestors fought so hard for. In the 21st century it only makes sense that Cyprus becomes united and free.

Mr. Speaker, it is both an honour and a privilege to rise and recognize Premier Mike Harris and his contribution to his province and country.
Mike Harris changed the very nature of politics when he demonstrated that politicians can mean what they say and do what they promise. That high standard in public morals where campaign promises are discussed before election and kept once in office has never been equalled in Ottawa.
It was tax cuts instituted by Mike Harris that fuelled the economy and led the country out of recession. From a province teetering on the brink of bankruptcy Ontario is set to produce its fourth balanced budget. Perhaps the greatest legacy of Mike Harris was his contribution to democracy that led to the election of party leader on the basis of one person, one vote.
Mike Harris returned dignity to the women and men of Ontario by creating tens of thousands of jobs in a province where thanks to 10 lost years of tax and spend Liberal and NDP policies almost 1 in 10 Ontarians were on welfare.
Ontario is a better place today because of Mike Harris. I thank Mike for making Ontario prosperous and strong.

Mr. Speaker, on Tuesday, March 19 the National Arts Centre unveiled a new music program which included awards of $75,000 each to three prominent Canadian composers.
I congratulate the first three recipients of the National Arts Centre Composer Awards: Denys Bouliane, Gary Kulesha, and especially my constituent Alexina Louie.
The new music program is a comprehensive plan for the development, promotion and support of new Canadian orchestral music nationally and internationally. The three award recipients have been commissioned to compose three works over a four year period: one orchestral, one for the new music ensemble, and one chamber music piece.
I offer my congratulations and offer them the very best in their endeavours.
World Water Day

Bernard Bigras Rosemont—Petite-Patrie, QC
Mr. Speaker, I rise on this ninth World Water Day to remind people that water is vital to any form of life on earth. For a long time, it was thought that water was an inexhaustible resource, but such is not the case.
Water is being polluted, its importance is being trivialized, and it is being marketed, because we forget that it remains the very basis of our survival. The world's largest multinationals are appropriating it at an incredible speed, while over two billion human beings do not have access to it. The water crisis is already here. It is imperative that we be aware of this facat.
Quebec has one million waterways, including over 500,000 lakes, several thousand rivers and streams, and many groundwater sites.
It is with this in mind that, on April 13, the Bloc Quebecois' youth forum will examine the water issue, during its symposium on the environment and sustainable development. The theme of one of the workshops will be "Water: Protecting a Source of Life".

Mr. Speaker, I congratulate and pay tribute to the 2002 Arctic Winter Games Host Society led by its president Mr. Victor Tootoo. The 2002 Arctic Winter Games have been taking place this week in Iqaluit, Nunavut and Nuuk, Greenland. As the 17th edition of the Arctic Winter Games comes to an end it will go down in history as being the first major sport event to be hosted by Nunavut, Canada's newest territory.
The city of Iqaluit took on a great challenge and has succeeded in organizing an international competition involving nearly 1,000 athletes, coaches, officials and cultural performers from Canada, Greenland, the United States and Russia.
The Arctic Winter Games have provided an opportunity for the athletes and cultural performers of the region to celebrate sport and culture their way, the northern way.

Mr. Speaker, I came to parliament in 1993 with some pretty specific goals, some of which have been achieved.
I represent the people of Elk Island who wanted to stop the incessant dive into deeper and deeper debt. Our influence on eliminating deficits has been substantial. The people want to pay down the debt. That work has hardly begun. They want to strengthen families, and our motion to define marriage was an important step. They want lower taxes. There is still much work to be done there. We have not nearly completed our work on justice and the issue of young offenders. Our goal of fixing a dysfunctional parliament has been totally stymied by the Liberal government and the present control freak Prime Minister. The people want to end political patronage and pork barrel politics.
With the election of Stephen Harper as our new leader the heat on the government will continue to increase. We will show the shortcomings of the Liberal government and we will earn the trust of the people. We will press on toward the goal and Canada will benefit.

Mr. Speaker, yesterday the Minister for International Cooperation announced that Canada is providing $30.2 million to Afghanistan. These funds are for priorities such as education, health, nutrition and child survival and are the first phase of the $100 million that the minister pledged in January at the Tokyo conference on Afghan reconstruction.
Canada is supporting human rights, gender equality and strong governance. We are making sure that girls are returning to school and that women are involved in their country's reconstruction from grassroots initiatives to governmental reform. We are funding de-mining activities as well as promoting peace and security.
The needs of Afghanistan are complex and call for a comprehensive approach. That is why the projects announced yesterday focus on both immediate humanitarian needs and on laying a foundation for longer term reconstruction efforts.
The women and men of Afghanistan can count on Canada to support them as they face the work of rebuilding their society.

Mr. Speaker, today on the 50th anniversary of Bill Mosienko scoring 3 NHL goals in 21 seconds, nations around the world are marking World Day for Water 2002.
One of the goals set out in the United Nations millennium declaration is to reduce by half the number of people around the globe who do not have access to affordable safe drinking water, and that is why this year's theme of water for development is so important.
Water is vital to the survival of humankind. This year water pollution and water shortages will kill 12 million people worldwide and millions more will suffer. World Day for Water 2002 is an opportunity to open the eyes of the world, particularly in Canada where we have for far too long taken for granted our access to safe clean water, to the crisis that faces millions.
We must all act together to ensure water for all. Let today be a call for the developed countries of the world to take action to meet the goals of the United Nations millennium declaration and later this year reinforce our commitment at the UN world summit on sustainable development.

Mr. Speaker, in a short while, I will be taking to the Prime Minister's office over 3,000 postcards from inhabitants of the Saguenay region, who are demanding that the federal government hand over the money promised for highway 175 before March 31, 2002.
Before and during the last election campaign, the Liberals promised $3.5 billion for roads in Quebec. The money now available is nothing like what was promised barely a year ago.
March 31 will mark the end of the fiscal year for the government, and its surplus is estimated at close to $10 billion. According to the usual budget provisions, this money will go completely toward debt repayment.
Those who sent in these postcards are demanding that the Prime Minister free up the money promised from this surplus so that his government can ratify the five memorandums of understanding for highways 175, 185, 30, 35 and 50 immediately.
The Prime Minister should open the till, because a promise is a promise.

Mr. Speaker, on Wednesday evening the new leader of the Canadian Alliance was chosen by its members. I congratulate Stephen Harper for the strength of his victory, for the clarity of his ideas and for the eagerness to tackle the Liberal government on the big issues of the day.
Most encouraging to me were early expressions of reaching out to others who are interested in building a principled conservative option. For the same reason, I also express my encouragement and my ongoing gratitude to the leader of the Progressive Conservatives, a man who is breaking new ground and taking new initiatives in an effort to build a democratic conservative alternative.
In the years leading up to the founding of our country, political coalitions sprung up and withered away with alarming consistency, mostly because their only purpose was to wrestle power into their own hands. However the great coalition, a coalition strong enough to usher into being a new and wonderful country, held together and was effective because it put the dreams and hopes of a nation at the top of its personal agenda.
Right now Canadians want a principled conservative option. Parliament desperately needs it and democracy demands it. I encourage both Stephen Harper and the leader of the Progressive Conservatives to put the hopes of the nation in first place and strive to put substance to the dreams of a better Canada.

Mr. Speaker, in every quarter, there are people who are inclined to dismiss Palestinians and Israelis equally, condemning the actions of both in the same breath. Others seek to make the problem go away by calling for an end to the violence and a return to the negotiating table.
The military occupation of part of Palestine by Israel since 1967 is the fundamental cause of the crisis in the Middle East. The end of this occupation is a necessary condition for ending the violence and restoring peace.
Canadian policy does not recognize the permanent control by Israel of the territories occupied in 1967 and is opposed to any unilateral action to predetermine the outcome of negotiations, such as settlements in the territories or unilateral action—

Sometimes big stars go indie and end up getting an Oscar nomination (or win!) out of it. Think Charlize Theron in Monster or Jennifer Lawrence in Winter's Bone.
And sometimes they go indie and it's just a big fat mess.
This year's Tribeca Film Festival wraps up Sunday and the prizes have already been handed out, and even though several films that competed had famous faces attached ― including Julianne Moore, Naomi Watts and Paul Rudd ― it was a more diverse international slate with largely unknown actors that had the audiences swooning. To sum it up, here are some of the films that got the most attention ― both good and bad. (Sorry, Emma Roberts… better luck next time.)

What is cystic fibrosis?
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an inherited condition that causes the production of thick, sticky mucus, which affects lung function, leads to recurrent respiratory infections, blocks the release of pancreatic enzymes, and inhibits the digestion of protein and fat. Most people with CF are diagnosed in early childhood and require daily therapies to loosen and remove excess mucus as well as supplements to get adequate nutrition. Those affected often require close monitoring and prompt treatment of infections to help preserve lung function.
CF is a relatively common genetic disease caused by mutations (disease-causing variations in the DNA) in a gene located on chromosome seven. This gene is responsible for the normal production of a protein called cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). Variations in this gene lead to reduced, absent, or defective CFTR production, causing CF. More than 1,500 different CF mutations have been identified, although some are much more common than others.
CF is a recessive genetic disease. This means that a person with CF must inherit two defective CF genes -- one from each parent. An individual with one normal gene and one abnormal gene is a CF carrier. Carriers do not have symptoms and are not ill, but they may pass a copy of their abnormal gene on to their children. Both biological parents must either be carriers or have CF themselves in order for their child to have CF. The risk associated with carrying an abnormal CF gene can be generally associated with a person's ethnicity. Caucasians from Northern Europe and Ashkenazi Jews have the highest incidence of CF with 1 in 20-25 individuals being CF carriers.
Individuals with CF exhibit absent or defective production and function of CFTR, leading to abnormal electrolyte and water movement in and out of the epithelial cells. This, in turn, leads to thick, sticky mucus in the lungs and pancreas that promote respiratory infections and/or obstructed pancreatic and liver ducts, and impaired protein digestion. The majority of adult males with CF are also infertile due to missing or underdeveloped vas deferens, the tubules that transport sperm from the testes. Most people with CF develop respiratory and pancreatic symptoms early in life, although symptom severity varies from person to person, even in those carrying the exact same mutations.
CF is one of the most common recessive genetic disorders in the U.S. It is estimated that 30,000 Americans are living with CF and approximately 1,000 new cases are diagnosed every year. Currently, there is no prevention or cure, only treatment of symptoms. However, research is being conducted to enhance treatments and to develop a cure. Great strides in this effort have been made over the past ten years, which are allowing some people with CF to live longer, with improved quality of life.

Why problems of ecology do not stand on the first place in human activity? Will there be a limit of displacement and pollution of nature by mankind?
Many factors determine the unecological attitude of
mankind to nature.
1. Interconnected factors, which determine the
ecological attitude to nature. There are

geographical, ecological, physical, cultural, ethical,

govern the conditions underlying the achievement of an
ecological attitude to nature.
2. Plurality of socio-political and socio-economic
systems. This plurality influences the opportunity to
adopt an ecological attitude to nature. Many
undeveloped countries with low incomes of people will
have little possibility to adopt an effective ecological
attitude to nature as they develop. They frequently have
no access to sufficient volumes of oil and gas, to
potable water, etc. They have no ecologically wellfounded
volume of natural territories, which would
allow creating settlements with the necessary areas of
the forests, meadows, rivers, lakes, etc. The world has a
very wide range of countries with a huge disparity in
technological and economic opportunities, and with a
wide disparity in the educational level of the
populations and needs of people.
3. Plurality of geographical conditions. The plurality
of geographical conditions exerts considerableinfluence on the possibility of harmonious interaction
of human populations with the landscape, and on the
achievement of a condition of ecological equilibrium.
4. Numerous individual barriers of socioeconomic
and socio-ecological development stand in
the difficult way of the achievement of an ecological
attitude to nature: 1. Poor ecological and ethical
erudition and the lack of an ecological education of the
population at large, and of specialists and managers; it
leads to a consumer attitude to nature, to depredation of
natural resources, etc. 2. Owing to poverty of the most
part of the world's population, the problems of survival
stand in the foreground, instead of an ecological
attitude to nature. 3. The widening economic
differentiation leads to stratification of society in
classes which are unable to cooperate in the
achievement of an ecological attitude to nature. 4.
Imperfection of ecologically oriented laws and
mechanisms of their execution. 5. Homelessness and
criminality. 6. Historic decisions which have resulted in
pollution, the use of dirty out-of-date technologies, the
existence of very much-polluted cities and dumps with
little or no use of remediation measures. 7. The history
of relations between nation states perhaps involving
military conflicts and terrorism._
5. Plurality of ethnic groups, ethnic traditions
and preferences. This plurality will influence the
choice of ecological decisions according to ethnic
traditions and preferences. It concerns architectural
physics (indoor climate, light and sound environment),
sizes of rooms and buildings, their appearance, used
materials, requirements to satisfy the needs for
dwellings, etc. Ideally ethnic features and preferences
should not contradict ecological laws and ethics.
6. Instability of world development with
bifurcations and binary plurality. The evolution of
nature, society, and individuals proceeds with
bifurcations, sooner or later balancing "positive" and
"negative" (from the point of view of the individual)
branches. Only such an evolution supports the existence
of a holistic binary plural world. Thus, holism
(integrity) of the plural world is expressed in dynamical
combination of mutually counterbalancing subjects and
phenomena making the general mosaic picture of
integrity, including, for example, any "norms" of one or
another kinds of landscape – woods, deserts, ice, bogs
and so forth. Binary multiplicity, inseparability of the
world and of individuals is an important characteristic.
It is necessary for the detailed study of characteristics
of all subjects and phenomena of the biosphere. Binary
pluralities of the whole world in terms of its inorganic
and organic components are most important factors of
life and evolution. To drain marshes, to transform
deserts into flowering gardens, to unfreeze glaciers, to
remove forests, to change river courses, to completely
destroy species (extirpate predators and unpleasant
species), to reduce biodiversity to a monotony of
cultural and useful plants – these are an aspiration
leading us away from natural and necessary duality
(evolutional multiplicity) of the world with often
unforeseen consequences.
7. Features of human aspiration. It is now widely
accepted that we face the threat of the fast exhaustion of
natural resources leading to pollution and
environmental crises. There remains a sharp
differentiation in the quality of life, in incomes in
different parts of the world, and in the availability of
natural resources, such as access to fresh water, which
may be a cause of future conflicts and wars between
nations. "Homo sapiens," the reasonable man, has not
executed a task of reasonable management of nature in
the past, having created a polluted environment for
himself and an unsustainable future, but also essentially
having worsened the conditions for may other
organisms. What are the reasons for this irrational coevolution
with nature, and unreasonable, shortsighted
behavior of the man in relation to himself? As is
known, the sources of all crises are in features of
thought, in the work of the brain.
The basic driving force in development of
humankind is for the most part the aspiration for the
satisfaction of human needs and, hence, to the
achievement of appropriate positive emotions. The
short-term memory, in which the person "lives," is
limited. The sources of it lie in the necessity for fast
reactions and survival. Many major steps of humankind
are consequences of casual and superficial choices,
without a weighing of distant consequences and
without multilateral analyses. The strategic direction of
human development was the simplified method of "trial
and error." The simplified duality of perception is
objective reality caused by evolution and features of the
structure and functioning of man's brain and nervous
system. It is quite possible, that many complexities of
development of humankind and crises, caused by it, are
explained by the contradiction between the inclination
to simplify things and the real variety of the world of
nature. The human approach to the complicated and
various mechanisms of nature appears to be through
simplified and consequently rather rough rules and
actions. This process represents the satisfaction of a
constantly growing number and complexity of needs,
limited in the natural environment by the factors of
homeostasis. Aspiring to a fast reception of positive
emotions, man according to the simplification of
thought, is not capable of analyzing the remote
consequences of the satisfaction of new needs. When
the requirements of the analysis of many parameters
(simultaneous storing and handling by multitude of
units of the information, understanding of plurality of
nature and its interrelations) were presented to us,
human thought has appeared unable to cope. With our
inclination to simplify our interactions with nature, we
appear not to adapt well to understanding the
complexity. Features of this "crisis" thought and
appropriate actions presumably lie in structure and
functioning of brain function._
Many features influence the achievement of
ecological interactions of mankind with the world of
nature: features of simplified human thinking, objective
instability of development in the world, the plurality of
socio-political and socio-economic systems, the
plurality of geographical conditions, the plurality of
ethnic groups, ethnic traditions and preferences, and the
extreme variety of existing nation sizes, and big
distinctions in the level of technological development of
the countries. Research of the interaction of mankind
with nature is complicated and requires very detailed
study. Mankind must limit the displacement and
pollution of nature by our activities for own survival.
All the major problems of ecology must be in the first
place in the activity of mankind.

Super search underway
The search for the next superintendent of the Warren County School District is underway.
And figuring out who is going to run the district during the search process has been nailed down.
The school district's board of directors has scheduled a special meeting for 6 p.m. Monday, Jan. 25, before committee meetings, to meet with Tom Templeton of the Pennsylvania School Board Association to discuss the search process.
Looking for the next schools chief will be a slightly different process than it was two years ago.
"The law has changed," Board President Arthur Stewart told the board on Monday. "The superintendent's contract requirements have changed. You have to have objective goals set forth in the contract itself."
Such goals were not part of recently-resigned Superintendent Brandon Hufnagel's contract. "We have those goals in our annual goal sessions," Stewart added, explaining that incorporating the goals into the contract requires that the district more accurately define the criteria it is seeking in the next superintendent.
He then recommended that the board schedule the special meeting to met with Templeton, who can offer a menu of the services that the PSBA can provide to aid in the search.
He advised that the board consider utilizing PSBA. He explained that the school district attempted to gather a qualified applicant pool on its own during the last hiring process but was not satisfied with the results. In May or June of 2011, he added, the district "retained the services of PSBA (and) went through tier search process and received a much larger pool that we felt satisfactory to proceed with."
In the meantime, the board unanimously appointed Amy Stewart to serve as acting superintendent effective immediately. The motion passed by the board specifically includes that she will return to the position of director of administrative support services upon the hire of the next superintendent.
She will receive a $4,000 monthly salary increase while she is acting superintendent and administrators Jim Grosch, Gary Weber, Patty Hawley-Horner and Dr. Norbert Kennerknecht will each receive an additional $1,500 monthly.
Stewart said the additional compensation, which comes from the money that would be allocated to a superintendent, is due to the added responsibilities those individuals will take on the superintendent search.
He thanked them for "stepping up to the plate" and reminded them, "We want there to be excellent communication….If you do think there is a need that can be fulfilled in a different manner then the board wants to be completely open to that exchange."

The semi-porous plastic membrane allows the exchange of CO2 and oxygen to continue uninhibited, but prevents the salty seawater from disturbing the fecund growing conditions inside. Soaking up the sun and feasting on the nutrients in the sewage, the algae produce fat-laden cells that can be harvested and refined into fuels.

Most perished in the concentrated nutrients, but Ruan eventually found several species — greenish, spherical, single-celled plankton only 5 microns across — that survived. By acclimating these survivors, Ruan was able to produce strains that thrived in the wastewater, while reducing the levels of phosphorus by 50 to 80 percent. They yielded 30 percent of their mass as oil and grew so fast they could be harvested daily.

Sonic Sleuth is So Fun
By Alex the Sonic Sleuth
from NJ
About Me Education Oriented, Educator, Parent, Thrifty
Best Uses
Comments about Educational Insights Geosafari® Sonic Sleuth.:
Pretty impressive performance. Sat in the kitchen with a friend and heard conversation in the living room (approx. 30' away) as if it were right next to me. Then our 9-yr old took it out to a winter field to listen for animals in the wild. He heard pheasants, squirrels and grasshoppers! He likes to think he could hear conversations of pilots in low-flying private planes too - keeps up the sleuth persona!Downside was that installing the battery was not intuitive. The directions were wrong and we had to email the company to learn how to get it in. Not great on Christmas morning when Santa has finally delivered the long-awaited toy.Once we got it working - a very cool toy - a much more impressive performance than expected!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Merchant response: Hi Alex! Thanks for the heads up on the battery instructions. We are discussing an update now (put on your Sonic Sleuth - you can probably hear us!).

Introduction to giardia lamblia:
What do mountain streams and day-care centers have in common? They are both places where kids can catch Giardia.
What is giardia lamblia?
Giardia is a tiny single-celled parasite with a whip-like tail. It infects the GI tract of humans and many other mammals.
Who gets giardia lamblia?
Giardia occurs throughout the world. People can get it from drinking water contaminated with the stool of animals. It is also found commonly in day-care centers.
In some studies, up to 1 in 5 children had Giardia in their stools.
What are the symptoms of giardia lamblia?
Some children with Giardia have acute gastroenteritis, with abdominal pain and watery diarrhea.
Others have a prolonged illness, often with symptoms that come and go. They may have recurrent stomachaches, foul-smelling stools, increased gas, decreased appetite, anemia, or slow growth. Sometimes periods of constipation alternate with periods of diarrhea. The diarrhea generally does not contain blood, pus, or mucus. The diarrhea may be watery – but more often is thick and frequent.
Many people with Giardia have no symptoms at all.
Is giardia lamblia contagious?
Giardia is spread from person to person via the fecal-oral route. It commonly spreads through day-care centers. It has been known to spread when diapered toddlers swim in inadequately chlorinated pools or water parks. And Giardia can spread when the parasites get into food or drinking water, either from animal stools, or from food preparers who have not washed their hands adequately.
How long does giardia lamblia last?
Symptoms usually do not begin for 1 to 4 weeks after the person swallows the parasites. The infection may resolve on its own, or may persist until the person is treated.
How is giardia lamblia diagnosed?
The diagnosis is suspected based on the child's story. It is confirmed by stool tests specifically looking for Giardia.
How is giardia lamblia treated?
Anti-parasite medications are used to treat the infection.
How can giardia lamblia be prevented?
Careful cleaning and hand washing, especially before preparing food, before eating, and after toileting or diapering can prevent many cases of Giardia – especially in day-care centers.
Children with diarrhea should be kept out of swimming pools.
Avoid drinking directly from lakes, rivers, or streams. Boiling the water first will kill the Giardia. Filtration and chlorination can also remove the parasites.

Men's Main Draw Bracket * Women's Main Draw Bracket
The opening day of the weekend welcomed 15 women's teams and 20 men's teams who battled it out for their spot in tomorrow's Main Draw. Players from the Chicago Open include John Krejczyk, Kathryn Babcock Piening, Laura Anderson, Michelle Moriarty, Jennifer Solm and Rasa Virsilaite.
Saturday, the day will begin with 32 men's teams and 24 women's teams, all whom will compete for a chance to win a piece of the $100,000 prize purse.
Friday began hot but quickly turned as thunder and lightning made its way into Oak Street Beach, just as the last serve was made in the Qualifiers. All matches were completed and no part of the Qualifiers had to be postponed.
"Thunder and lightning is nothing unusual for Chicago but it always does stir a lot of excitement!" said Kathryn Babcock Piening, who already had automatically qualified for the Main Draw tomorrow. "I'm excited that the Jose Cuervo Pro beach Volleyball Series is here in my hometown of Chicago. The high-energy atmosphere and intense competition that IMG and Jose Cuervo bring together is unmatched and I can't wait for my friends and family to experience it."
With Chicago's growing demand for beach volleyball, it only made sense to feature some of the world's best athletes in the Windy City.
"Chicago is a prominent beach volleyball destination that has been explosively growing in the last 10 years, making it the perfect city to stage our event," said James Leitz, senior vice president, IMG and event producer, Jose Cuervo Pro Beach Volleyball Series. "We look forward to our stay and are excited to show off the talents of our athletes this weekend."
The action will continue with the Main Draw event on Saturday as a field of 32 men's teams and 24 women's teams hit the sand in a double-elimination tournament. The Finals will take place on Sunday (July 15) from 2:15- 5 p.m. CT. Fans who are unable to make it to Oak Street Beach will be able to watch the competition LIVE at www.josecuervoprobeachvolleyballseries.com or when it airs on July 29 at 11 p.m. ET/8 p.m. PT on NBC Sports Network.
The first place men's and women's teams from every stop will qualify for one of eight coveted spots to compete at the Milwaukee Shoot Out on Aug. 3-5 for the combined $60,000 prize purse. To date, John Hyden/Sean Scott, Ryan Doherty/Casey Patterson, Whitney Pavlik/Jenny Kropp and Kristen Batt/Raquel Ferreira have already been entered from their Florida Open and Belmar Open victories, leaving just four more coveted spots to be determined at the Chicago Open and the Hermosa Open (July 20-22). Because Pavlik and Kropp swept the first two stops, the runner-up team from the Belmar Open, Batt and Ferreira, have automatically filled the second women's spot in Milwaukee.
In addition to the hard-hitting pro beach volleyball action, title sponsor Jose Cuervo has filled the sand with entertainment at the Cuervo Village, a full festival-like atmosphere that features music, consumer contests, giveaways and much more.
Produced by IMG Worldwide, Inc., the Chicago Open is free to the public and is taking place at Oak Street Beach. Each tournament of the Jose Cuervo Series will be sanctioned by USA Volleyball (USAV), the governing body of the sport, and will be broadcast nationally on NBC Sports Network.
Detailed information is available at www.josecuervoprobeachvolleyballseries.com.

Hey there kids!
That's right... It's been a while, but we're finally going to see the return of:
This will be a monthly meeting for all forest volunteers to discuss any foresty things that don't fall under the working group remits (and some that do)... The general idea is to provide a forum for everyone's voices to be heard on anything that strikes them as really important regarding the *bigger picture* at the forest (where it's at as a community, ethos, where it's going...), and also to have everyone together to share ideas and answer each others questions about any topic, *big or small*!
It's time we put all our collective energy together people! And make the forest totally kick-butt again! And we can totally do it, cos there's enough fantastic people that are making forest right now... we just don't communicate enough!!!
So let's all get together... next SUNDAY, 5th JULY (5-7pm) in The Action Room.
Regarding the Agenda: If anyone has anything they'd like to bring up or have discussed at the meeting, you can add it as a reply to this post. Alternatively, you can grab a kitchen manager when they're in the cafe and ask them for the *big agenda book* where you can jot down your idea. I'll then collate all the topics into a mega agenda. I'll post the mega agenda up here this Fri for people to suggest amendments/re-jigs.
Really looking forward to seeing you all there
Forest. x
NB: The Volly Meeting has, in the past, been followed by a volly party... There's not one planned for next Sunday, but there's no reason we can't all hang out and do something fun afterwards anyway. Next month there'll be a proper party I reckon.
