Oral Question Period
2:55 p.m.
Don Valley East
David Collenette Minister of Transport
Mr. Speaker, when I made the announcement last Thursday, I clearly stated that the assistance had to be limited to the five largest carriers: Air Canada, Air Transat, Sky Service, WestJet and Canada 3000.
The Environment
Oral Question Period
2:55 p.m.
Progressive Conservative
John Herron Fundy Royal, NB
Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of the Environment.
Delays at the Canada-U.S. border not only inhibit trade but affect the environment. A 30 minute delay at the border equates to hundreds of tonnes of additional greenhouse gases per annum. Why has the environment minister done nothing to address this concern?
The Environment
Oral Question Period
2:55 p.m.
David Anderson Minister of the Environment
Mr. Speaker, as indicated by the Deputy Prime Minister, the government has done a number of things to try to get changes in the policies at the border, particularly on the American side, so that we can in fact expedite the movement of goods, people and vehicles across the border.
There is no question that there is additional air pollution related to the delays. That said, the fact is the problem will minimize when we get the border cleared. That is our fundamental problem and it is what we are working on. I took this matter up with my American counterparts when I visited Washington.
Infrastructure Program
Oral Question Period
2:55 p.m.
Lorne Nystrom Regina—Qu'Appelle, SK
Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Finance.
Today the Federation of Canadian Municipalities has called on the federal government to make a major investment in infrastructure across the country in areas such as drinking water, rapid transit, the environment and housing.
I want to know what the minister's response is to this request from the Federation of Canadian Municipalities. Can we expect a major announcement with regard to infrastructure in the budget, which will stimulate the economy and create thousand of jobs in the country at a time when jobs are needed?
Infrastructure Program
Oral Question Period
2:55 p.m.
Paul Martin Minister of Finance
Mr. Speaker, as I have said, the government in the forthcoming budget is focusing on national security, but obviously the necessity of protecting the basic infrastructure of the country is something we will always look at.
I point out that there is a major infrastructure program going on both in terms of roads and the environment. The Minister of the Environment and the Minister of Transport have spoken about this extensively. The minister in charge of CMHC has spoken about housing. All of that has arisen out of extensive discussions with the Federation of Canadian Municipalities.
Anti-terrorism Legislation
Oral Question Period
2:55 p.m.
Canadian Alliance
Reed Elley Nanaimo—Cowichan, BC
Mr. Speaker, in light of the concerns of some Canadians about civil liberties, some groups have called for exemptions from Bill C-36.
Could either the minister of Indian affairs or the justice minister tell us whether native people across Canada will be exempted from the provisions of Bill C-36 as some of their leaders are calling for? A simple yes or no would suffice.
Anti-terrorism Legislation
Oral Question Period
2:55 p.m.
Edmonton West
Anne McLellan Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada
Mr. Speaker, I find the question somewhat strange. Bill C-36 is very clear. It is directed at terrorist activity.
In fact there is no discussion in and around any particular group or organization. The legislation focuses on one thing and one thing only. It is terrorist activity.
Oral Question Period
2:55 p.m.
Canadian Alliance
Jim Pankiw Saskatoon—Humboldt, SK
Mr. Speaker, farmers in Canada are waiting with great anticipation for the fall budget expected in December. The Liberal government has a record of stumbling from ad hoc agriculture program to ad hoc program, weighted down in bureaucracy with no long term vision.
Will the Minister of Finance finally commit in this budget to implementing a long term sustainable agriculture policy that farmers will be able to rely on?
Oral Question Period
2:55 p.m.
Prince Edward—Hastings
Lyle Vanclief Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food
Mr. Speaker, at the June federal-provincial-territorial ministers meeting there was unanimous agreement by all ministers present, all the provinces, all the territories and the federal government to move forward with an agricultural action plan, a policy framework for agriculture to move in a direction, as we said in the last throne speech, beyond crisis management.
I can assure the House that with the consultation with the industry, with the provinces, with colleagues on this side of the House and with the support of colleagues on the other side of the House we will move in that direction.
Oral Question Period
October 29th, 2001 / 3 p.m.
Peter Stoffer Sackville—Musquodoboit Valley—Eastern Shore, NS
Mr. Speaker, in media reports over the weekend the United States is musing about using tactical nuclear weapons in the war against terrorism.
My question is for the Deputy Prime Minister. Will Canada in the strongest way tell our allies in the United States that under no circumstances will Canada accept the use of tactical nuclear weapons in any case?
Oral Question Period
3 p.m.
Windsor West
Herb Gray Deputy Prime Minister
Mr. Speaker, the hon. member did not provide any evidence to show that what he is saying is a fact. I am not aware of any activity of that sort. There are international conventions about nuclear weapons which I am sure members of the alliance are sticking with.
By the way, to answer further a question by another member of the hon. member's party, I am advised that the United States may be using cluster bombs but only on military targets and the assertion of the NDP member earlier should be withdrawn.
Genetically Modified Organisms
Oral Question Period
3 p.m.
Suzanne Tremblay Rimouski-Neigette-Et-La Mitis, QC
Mr. Speaker, a few weeks ago, the Minister of Health came out in favour of mandatory labelling for genetically modified organisms. Recently however, the government voted down at second reading a bill sponsored by one of its members which moved in this direction.
Can the Minister of Health tell us if he is still in favour of mandatory labelling for GMOs, given his government's position on this issue?
Genetically Modified Organisms
Oral Question Period
3 p.m.
Prince Edward—Hastings
Lyle Vanclief Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food
Mr. Speaker, the hon. member is fully aware of the fact that four ministers on this side have written the chair of the health committee to ask her to bring in members from a number of different committees to have a discussion around the topic of food labelling in Canada. We look forward to the results and the comments of that committee.
Oral Question Period
3 p.m.
Canadian Alliance
John Reynolds West Vancouver—Sunshine Coast, BC
Mr. Speaker, I rise on a question of privilege to charge the Minister of Transport with contempt. The minister has brought the authority and dignity of the House into question and has breached the new procedure that was established by the adoption of the first report of the modernization committee.
On Thursday, October 25, while the House was in session, the minister held a press conference to announce a $75 million bailout for Canada 3000. While this brand of disrespect is not uncommon for the Liberal government, I believe that this is the first time that such an act has occurred since the adoption of the first report of the modernization committee. At page 4 of that report the committee states:
Concerns have been expressed that government announcements, regarding legislation or policies, are increasingly made outside the House of Commons. While this is by no means a recent phenomenon, it continues to be a source of concern. The Committee is recommending two initiatives to address it.
First, it is important that more ministerial statements and announcements be made in the House of Commons. In particular, topical developments, or foreseeable policy decisions, should be made first—or, at least, concurrently—in the chamber. Ministers, and their departments, need to be encouraged to make use of the forum provided by the House of Commons. Not only will this enhance the pre-eminence of Parliament, but it will also reiterate the legislative underpinning for governmental decisions.
The committee recommended that the government make greater use of ministerial statements in the Chamber and that the House leaders be advised in advance of these statements.
I was not advised of this announcement. When I stood in the House on Thursday and asked the Thursday question, the government House leader had the opportunity right there and then, but failed to do so.
There was no reason why the Minister of Transport could not have advised the opposition and there were no procedural difficulties preventing the Minister of Transport from making his announcement in the House. I am certain that all parties would have extended every courtesy to the minister if he had chosen to respect the House and make his announcement here.
It is important to know that the House adjourned early on that day for lack of business. It adjourned early last Monday and Friday and it adjourned early on Friday, October 19, and on Monday, October 22, so wherein lies the problem with debating these issues on the floor of the House? A $75 million bailout is no small change. Where does the minister think the authority to spend the $75 million comes from?
The government and its departments are continuously making a habit of mocking the parliamentary system in this manner. We have had the deliberate leaking to the media of contents of Bill C-15 and, more recently, of the anti-terrorism bill, Bill C-36.
One of the reasons the modernization committee felt it necessary to address the issue was that in the last two parliaments the government got away with mocking the legislative process at every turn, belittling the role of members of parliament. I will cite a few of the more serious examples.
On Thursday, October 23, 1997, the government announced that provincial and federal governments had constituted a nominating committee to nominate candidates for the new Canada pension plan investment board. The nominating committee was provided for under subclause 10(2) of Bill C-2. The House had not yet adopted Bill C-2.
On January 21, 1998, the minister responsible for the wheat board met in Regina to discuss the rules for the election of directors to the Canadian Wheat Board's board of directors, as proposed in Bill C-4, an act to amend the Canadian Wheat Board Act. Substantial amendments to Bill C-4 tabled at report stage by opposition members were scheduled for debate in the House. While the House debated how many directors should be farmer elected versus being government appointees, the minister was holding meetings as though the bill was already law.
When the Canadian millennium scholarship fund was being established, a published article in the Toronto Star announced that Yves Landry had been named as the head of the Canada Millennium Scholarship Foundation. Mr. Landry was quoted as saying "I am only one member of the board and my job is to be a facilitator". There was no legislation before the House setting up the foundation, nor had the budget announcement allocating $2.5 billion in revenue to the foundation been adopted.
The Minister for International Trade announced on March 30, 1998, the establishment of a Canada-China interparliamentary group. At that time, the House had not set up a Canada-China interparliamentary group.
Finally, the date of the last budget that was delivered in the House, so long ago we have probably forgotten, was announced by the Prime Minister outside the House.
Each disrespectful act we allow to stand unchallenged becomes a precedent that serves afterwards to justify more acts of disrespect. The modernization committee recognized this and felt it necessary to make a statement.
The adoption of this report outlined what standard the House expected from ministers in this regard.
On page 119 of Erskine May there is a reference regarding a select committee that was appointed to inquire into the conduct and activities of members and to consider whether any such conduct or activities amounted to a contempt of the House and whether any such activities were:
--conduct...inconsistent with the standards the House was entitled to expect from its Members.
The minister cannot claim ignorance because the House pronounced itself on this issue through the adoption of the modernization committee report. When the Minister of Transport made his announcement outside the House on Thursday, October 25 while there was still an opportunity to make it inside, his conduct was clearly inconsistent with the standards the House was entitled to expect from him. As a consequence the minister is in contempt of the House.
The other related parliamentary tradition that the government likes to forget about is the issue of and respect for the doctrine of ministerial responsibility.
The Minister of Transport and the rest of his colleagues, and particularly the Minister of Justice, should review the definition of ministerial responsibility from page 63 of the 22nd edition of Erskine May. It states:
—ministers have a duty to Parliament to account, and be held to account, for the policies, decisions and actions of their departments...it is of paramount importance that ministers give accurate and truthful information to Parliament—
Where can we find the truthful and accurate information regarding the decision to hand out $75 million to Canada 3000? Not in Hansard of Thursday, October 25. Where it was found was in the Globe and Mail of October 26.
I am beginning to think that being held in contempt in the House is of little concern to the government. Let us look at the example of the Minister of Justice who was held in contempt for leaking to the media the contents of Bill C-15.
When I appeared before the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs to review another charge of contempt involving the minister, I pointed out that we no longer respect, to the same degree as in the past, the principle that ministers have a duty to parliament to account and to be held to account for the policies, decisions and actions of their departments.
I cited the example from 1976 involving the Hon. André Ouellet, the then minister of consumer and corporate affairs. Mr. Ouellet made a comment on the acquittal by Mr. Justice Mackay of the sugar companies accused of forming cartels and combines. As a result, Mr. Justice Mackay cited him for contempt of court. He was found guilty of the charge and resigned his cabinet post over the incident.
A charge of contempt by the House should be considered just as serious, if not more serious, as a contempt charge in a court. Unfortunately the Minister of Justice chose not to take responsibility in the time honoured tradition of ministerial accountability, as did Mr. Ouellet.
Getting back to this case, I will conclude my remarks by saying that had I had an opportunity to respond to this announcement by the Minister of Transport I might have asked the minister why he can justify giving Canada 3000 $75 million but cannot spend one dime on the softwood lumber industry that lost millions of dollars over a trade dispute with the United States. Thousands of people are out of work as a result and thousands more are expected to lose their jobs.
Also, what about the farmers who suffered through this summer's drought?
These are some of the questions we might have asked if the minister had given us an opportunity, but we did not. The minister might want to talk about timing, about how the House was not sitting. It was not sitting because the government chose not to have it sitting. It adjourned early. We have adjourned early too many days over the last little while.
Certainly I saw the minister on television that night at 7 p.m. The House adjourned early,and I cannot remember if it was 3 p.m. or 4 p.m., but surely he must have made the decision earlier in the day. He could have spoken to the government House leader and made sure it was put on the agenda so that we could have done it in the House and it could have been done properly.
Mr. Speaker, if you find that we have a case of privilege, I am prepared to move the proper motion.
Oral Question Period
3:10 p.m.
Don Valley East
David Collenette Minister of Transport
Mr. Speaker, I did have the opportunity on Friday to discuss the matter with my colleague from the Alliance Party. I am grateful that he raised it today because I could not state the reply on Friday. I will describe the actions taken on Thursday and then deal with the substance of his point.
First, everyone knows that since September 11 issues dealing with airlines are ones that are breaking fast. The problems are occurring rather rapidly and therefore require rapid response.
The hon. member talks about not being available to make a ministerial statement at the appropriate time. I am sure he would have given unanimous consent to revert to statements by ministers on Thursday afternoon had he known. He questioned the integrity of my colleague the House leader for not having informed him during the usual Thursday question that he knew this was coming.
My colleague the House leader did not know the statement was being issued because the final decision on the matter was only taken at 5.30 that day. We felt it was absolutely appropriate to call a press conference at 7 o'clock. The news media was not happy. I was not happy and the hon. member was not happy.
At the earliest opportunity there was final cabinet approval for the compensation package for Canada 3000. We called the press conference so that shareholders, employees and passengers of Canada 3000 would all know what the rules were before the opening of the stock market on the next business day.
I have been in the House off and on for quite a while, like the hon. member. We were here in the early 1970s when ministers made routine statements and were questioned by the opposition. That is something I have always been in favour of. It is certainly something I would never be opposed to.
I was a member of the procedural committee in 1982-83 that brought forward a lot of the reforms of today including the period of questions and comments after debate. That was done to involve members in debate. We do not want to hear only from members with set questions and set answers. We want to encourage the thrust and parry of debate.
My hon. colleague laments the fact that he never had the chance to have this debated on Thursday. He says he would have raised a number of questions. He went on a few minutes ago to tell the House what the questions were with respect to softwood lumber.
He did not raise the question on Friday morning. He did not raise the question this afternoon in question period. He instead chose to make a procedural point for partisan gain. I am very sorry about that. I have great respect for the House leader of the Alliance Party and cannot believe he is resorting to these kinds of tactics.
I will use the example of the hon. André Ouellet. We were both in the House when this happened in 1975 or 1976 regarding the sugar case. It had nothing whatsoever to do with statements by ministers. The hon. member should not impugn motives by raising that particularly serious case in this context.
I am sure the hon. member knows this full well. Far be it from me to cast aspersions or impugn motives by saying he wants to use the debate for a spurious question of privilege that is not a question of privilege. It is a point of debate that he should have raised on Thursday or Friday in question period or today in question period. He chose not to do so. He was silent today in question period.
I will quote from Beauchesne's fifth edition, section 264 which states:
The option of a Minister to make a statement either in the House or outside it may be the subject of comment, but is not the subject of a question of privilege.

Database Security Survey Now Available
PASS has released its 2010 Database Security report, "Data in the Dark: Organizational
Disconnect Hampers Information Security". Members were polled in September and given
the opportunity to share insight on their organizations' security practices and
level of preparedness for database security breaches.
Study statistics reveal that companies' data security is hampered by disconnect
within the organization. Approximately 75% of respondents, the majority of whom
are database administrators, are responsible for protecting their organization's
database. Nearly half of the study's respondents said that a database breach would
have greater impact on organizational security than any other IT component.
"This study is the first of many new survey analyses we hope to bring to the PASS
community," said Rushabh Mehta, PASS President.

To day ONE of Helmar and Core'dinations Teaming up for some fabulous inspiration. Make sure you leave us a comment today and every day for more chances to win some of our unique cardstock.
The first of today's projects comes from Cari Locken. This Happy New Year card is too perfect to start this week off, don't you think? Cari used Core Essentials and Vintage Cardstock on this card. She turned the textured side over to the backside of the cardstock for some smooth stamping with her myStampBOX Stamps. And, OF COURSE, Helmar Zap dots!
Here is a close up of the Zap Dots:
This next project is from Hera Frei. Hera made festive Chinese New year envelopes. Hera shares some background on this project with us today, "An ancient custom which has an important role in Chinese New Year is Hong Bao. This involves gifting small red envelopes filled with "lucky money". These envelopes are given to children and unmarried adults by the married couples. The red color is considered to bring good fortune, and the money inside the envelope is used by them to buy holiday treats".
These envelopes looks so amazing in the Couture cardstock, don't they? And Hera embossed them, too! Love the look of the glittery cardstock embossed.
Hera made the basic envelope using a template and red Core Couture Cardstock and sealed it with Quick Dry Adhesive. Then punched some stars using a Fiskars punch and then used Zap Dots to layer them. She also used the Zap Dots to seal the gemstone to the top star and then finished them off with a SRM Sticker.
Do us a favor and make sure you head over to Helmar's Facebook Page and tell them thanks for a fabulous day!

Nvidia Corp. has already announced its plans to enter the market of chipsets that contain built-in graphics core compatible with Intel Corp.'s microprocessors, but remained tight-lipped over details on the matter. Apparently, the company will position its new products as "the most cost-effective" solutions for motherboards supporting 1333MHz processor system bus.
The lineup, which will go into production in September and is likely to be available sometime in Q4 2007, will contain three solutions, targeting different market segments. Highlights of the two advanced versions include support for chips with 1333MHz PSB, HDMI output and so on. What is also interesting is that all of the chipsets will feature PCI Express x16 slots for add-in graphics cards.
The most powerful one will be branded as Nvidia nForce 630i with GeForce 7050 (MCP73PV) and will support processors with 1333MHz PSB, single-channel DDR2 PC2-6400 (800MHz) memory as well as built-in DirectX 9.0 shader model 3.0 graphics core with DVI, D-Sub and HDMI outputs and HDCP. Other capabilities include support for four Serial ATA-300 ports with RAID capabilities, two Parallel ATA ports, Gigabit Ethernet, a PCI Express x16 and two PCI Express x1 slots for add-in cards as well as 10 USB 2.0 ports.
A little less advanced version will be sold as Nvidia nForce 630i with GeForce 7025 (MCP 73S). It will also feature processors with 1333MHz PSB, single-channel DDR2 PC2-5300 (667MHz) or even PC2-6400 (800MHz) memory as well as built-in DirectX 9.0 shader model 3.0 graphics core with DVI, D-Sub outputs and HDCP. Other capabilities are similar to the higher-end model.
The least advanced offering is projected to be called Nvidia nForce 610i with GeForce 7025 (MCP 73V). ). It will only work with processors featuring 1066MHz PSB, will sport single-channel DDR2 PC2-5300 (667MHz) memory controller as well as built-in DirectX 9.0 shader model 3.0 graphics core with D-Sub output. I/O capabilities of the MCP73V will feature 8 USB 2.0 ports, 10/100Mb Ethernet and simplified RAID support. The novelty will still support a PCI Express x16 and two PCI Express x1 slots for add-in cards.
According to some sources close to the company, Nvidia claims that mainboards based on the MCP73-series chipsets have $5.05 lower bill-of-material (BOM) cost compared to motherboards running Intel's core-logic sets. Nevertheless, the price on MCP73 family members remains unclear and it is not certain which of comparable platforms based on Intel and Nvidia chipsets will be more affordable. Still, keeping in mind that Intel plans to charge $42 for its Intel G35 core-logic that supports 1333MHz PSB and contains DirectX 10 graphics core, Nvidia's solution may truly become one of the most affordable for the forthcoming Intel Core 2 processors with 1333MHz PSB.
Nvidia does not comment on future products.

What are you using now for cheese, what is your fav?Scott... BTW... since you live in Boston... I used to buy all of my pizza supplies for home at a pizza supply house in S. Boston... The name was "Samos" I believe and it was in the yellow pages. Give a call there and ask for Sophia. She is usually there or her sister is. Old family pizza supply business. They are such nice ladies and will let you roam through the warehouse and freezers and pick out whatever you want. Plus, they were open on Saturday which made it easy.

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Stop, Look and Listen
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- "Stop, look and listen" was Jim Cramer's cautious advice to "Mad Money" viewers Tuesday during what's turning out to be a volatile earnings season.
Cramer said the stock movement of companies such as Verizon (VZ) , Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) and DuPont (DD) , which he owns for his charitable trust, Action Alerts PLUS, exemplifies why it's too risky to trade during earnings season. Investors are trading on every bit of news, even if its totally wrong.
Cramer said he initially saw nothing wrong with Verizon's earnings release this morning, yet the earnings were reported as a "miss" and shares sank. During earnings season, he explained, there's no room for just "OK" -- you're either great or you're dead in the water. Yet, by the time the company conducted its conference call and reassured investors margins would be improving this year, shares rallied.
The same was true with Johnson & Johnson, said Cramer. The company issued better than expected results, only to see shares sink on perceived weak guidance. But shortly thereafter, investors focused on the right metric -- the company's spinoff of one if its divisions -- and shares shot right back up.
DuPont was yet another example; that stock was down in the pre-market, only to end up 1.7%. Cramer said with results like theses, it's impossible for him to say whether a stock will be going up or down based on earnings. That's why he continues to caution investors that earnings season is the worst time to try and make money in the markets.
Off the Charts
In the "Off The Charts" segment, Cramer went head to head with colleague Carolyn Boroden over the chart of S&P 500 to see if Boroden can continue her winning streak at predicting where the index is headed.
Cramer reminded viewers that Boroden successfully called the top in the S&P back in September, along with the lows in mid-November. With the index now approaching her latest target of 1,510, Cramer wanted to know what was next.
According to Boroden's analysis, if the S&P can rise above her 1,510 target, the next stop won't be until 1,551 to 1,555. She said the weekly chart of the S&P also has a cluster of ratios that fall into the same range. Boroden noted that only if the markets fall below the November lows of 1,343 would she be concerned.
Cramer said he agrees with Boroden's research, especially given how she's nailed all of her S&P targets over the past few months. He said the markets may pull back soon after their big run to the upside, and that would be the perfect time to buy into the markets.

Green Flooring Guide
What to know about the impact of standard flooring and its environmentally-friendly alternatives
Whether standing, sitting, or walking from room to room, we are in constant contact with our floors. They affect the look, feel, and function of our home and, as we have started to realize in recent years, our health and planet. Studies by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency have shown that indoor pollutant levels can be two- to five-times higher than those outside. And the culprit for many of these pollutants is coming from the finishes, glues, and materials comprising our floors. But we haven't surrendered to the toxic standard and environmental problems posed by the conventional options; instead we've sought out the greener alternatives! Flooring manufacturers are stepping it up, and eco options are filling the marketplace. Now the question to tackle is: what to look and ask for when shopping.
This guide covers the concerns for the major types of conventional flooring, the benefits of their green varieties and how to find the sustainable option that's right for you.
Nearly 70 percent of all flooring used in United States is carpet. Warm, soft, long-lasting, and low-maintenance, it's easy to fall in love with this option, but there are a few factors to consider.
The Worrisome Standard
Conventional carpet is synthetic and made from petroleum-based fibers like nylon, polypropylene or polyester. These fibers off-gas (emit) VOCs (volatile organic compounds) that can cause a variety of health problems, short- and long-term. More importantly, it can take years for these VOCs to dissipate.
The Green Alternative
Look for carpet made with natural fibers like sisal, sea grass, jute, coir and wool. "Wool carpet is soft and durable, has natural insulating properties and an inbuilt resistance to soiling," notes Judith Wilson, author of The Natural Home. There's also biodegradable carpet that will eventually disintegrate, helping to lower landfills and deliver the ultimate Mother Earth pay back by returning nutrients to the soil.
Resilient Flooring
Known to be easy on the joints and the wallet, resilient flooring is a great option for high-traffic households. Linoleum, rubber, and cork fall into the resilient category, but the most popular and the most toxic is vinyl.
The Worrisome Standard
Vinyl flooring is made with synthetic materials like polyvinyl chloride (PVC) that give off toxic chemicals that are associated with increases in respiratory sensitization and asthma. When burned, whether in landfills or by factories disposing of overruns, PVC emits some 100 different toxic compounds according to Greenpeace, an international environmental watchdog group.
The Green Alternative
Shop for resilient flooring made with eco-friendly ingredients, binders and glues. Linoleum is made with natural ingredients like linseed oil, wood flour, cork powder and organic pigments. Floors made of cork, a sustainable product, also provide a soft surface.
Everyone loves natural wood floors for their classic appeal. New wood may be standard but there are plenty of green and chic alternatives on the market.
The Worrisome Standard
"Over the years, large-scale clear-cutting of natural forests has a negative environmental impact that extends beyond the loss of trees that take hundreds of years to grow to maturity. It also includes the loss of wildlife habitat, soil erosion and siltation of rivers and lakes," notes Dan Harrington, director of product development at Eco Timber Flooring.
The Green Alternative
There are a few options to get the benefits of wood. Reclaimed wood flooring that's been rescued from old barns, train trestles and antique wood vats will add a bit of history to your home. New wood flooring should be sawn from timber grown in FSC-certified forests. Or consider laminate made with post-consumer recycled products or wood veneers which lower the number of trees used.
Tile tends to be durable and easy to care for, and in the scale of environmental no-nos, even the traditional option is fairly green.
The Worrisome Standard
The good news is that ceramic and porcelain tile are not made from toxic chemicals and won't give off fumes. The one thing to note is that the conventional tile typically uses raw minerals, which must be mined—and production waste goes to landfills, according to Mother Earth News.
The Green Alternative
Recycled metal and glass are finding their way into tile these days which helps lower landfills and create decorative and textural products never before possible.
Greener Support Products
To improve indoor air quality, what goes under flooring is important, too.
Carpet Pads
Look for more than cushion in carpet pads. There are wool-based carpet pads that are free from dyes and adhesives.
Subfloor Systems
There are easy-to-install subfloor systems that add a second layer of resiliency while creating an effective barrier between carpet and moisture or mold that can seep up through concrete slabs.

I can't stand the complete hypocritical stance on judging.
First off, everyone want's to be judged. They just want to only be judged as good. Think about it, when's the last time you heard someone famous say don't judge me. What people really mean to say is 'don't tell me I am wrong", what sodomites mean to say is, don't judge us as wrong, judge us as right, but that is still judging. In fact they are asking you to judge them.....as right. Our entire life is one constant judgment. If some creepy old man showed up acting weird and offered to babysit for you, I would hope you would judge him. Judging is what keeps people safe. If it weren't for judging, there would be no such things as celebrities. Hollywood is based on people who succeeded based on the judgment of millions of people. How can they begin to ask people not to judge.
Secondly, if you read matthew chapter 7 where it says the famous, don't judge lest ye be judged quote, well if you read it a little bit further, Jesus goes on to command us to judge. To be aware of false prophets, but to judge them by their fruits. How can you be aware of false prophets if you don't judge.
Thirdly, seriously, would you want to be judged by me, or do you want to be judged by God? If I tell you sinners go to hell, it's not so bad, but when you hear God tell you sinners go to hell, then it's too late for you. I am not the one who sets universal standards of morality, God is. When people try to say, Hey, I decided I am going to change the rules of morality, they are out of line. They don't get to decide what is good and evil.

Online testing promises to help teachers hone instruction by providing instant feedback on what students are learning and what they're missing, notes the Hechinger Report. Online tests also should make it easier to spot patterns that suggest cheating. With backing from the Obama administration and new tests under development, a majority of students could be taking standardized math and English tests online in three years.
Delaware already has moved all state testing online.
On a recent afternoon at Townsend Elementary School here, a little boy squinted at a computer screen and gripped his mouse. He was stuck. Half of the screen contained an article about rainforests. The other half was filled with questions, some multiple-choice, some not.
One question asked the boy to pick two animals that belonged in the rainforest from a list of pictures and written descriptions. Then he was supposed to drag the animals across the screen onto the rainforest background. Next, he had to move two correct descriptions of rainforest characteristics into boxes.
Test developers hope the next generation of online tests will be more challenging and stimulating.
In these new exams, a student might be asked to use a mouse to move the sides of a shape on screen into an isosceles triangle, highlight the main idea of a passage, or write an essay about two articles supplemented by their own online research.
But Delaware's current test, which students take three or four times a year, doesn't break down students' scores on specific skills. Townsend Elementary also is testing students three times a year on a more sophisticated test that gives teachers feedback on where students are struggling. That means students spend more time taking tests.
Some early adopters are struggling with technical problems.
Wyoming abandoned online testing, after adopting it in 2010, and is back to pencil and paper. The technical problems were overwhelming. Every school was routed through a single, private network, which "collapsed under the weight of more than 80,000 public school students." In addition, some schools didn't have enough working computers.
On the other hand, Virginia, which invested $650 million in new technology, has rolled out online testing without major problems.

Straightforward enough - does anyone else think that two compilations like this isn't the best way of taking the highlights?
Personally, I think it would have been better if they had taken 30-40 songs from each of their THREE eras, and had, say, a red, green, and blue album.
Red for 1962-64 - equivalent to disc 1 of the existing red album plus various other highlights (Things We Said Today, I Saw Her Standing There, Baby's In Black . . .)
Green for 1965-67 - equivalent to red2 plus blue1 up to MMT, and the other highlights (I've Just Seen A Face, Got To Get You Into My Life, Taxman, Tomorrow Never Knows, Within You Without You . . .)
Blue for 1968-70 - equivalent to blue1 from LM on, plus other various high points (Two Of Us, Because, Hey Bulldog . . .)

Topic: Plugin help
I've written a plugin which patches ActiveRecord, much like acts_as_paranoid, but I would like the patch to be applied to all models that inherit from ActiveRecord. The only examples of plugins which patch ActiveRecord that I can find, simply rely on the user entering "acts_as_paranoid" or some similar method name in each model. I'd like this plugin to automatically be applied to every ActiveRecord model.
Below is a snippet of the module which gets included in ActiveRecord when the plugin loads:
module Viget
module Permissions
module AdminMassAssignment
def self.included(base)
base.extend ClassMethods
module ClassMethods
def admin_mass_assignment
unless mass_assignment?
alias_method :original_update_attributes, :update_attributes
class << self
alias_method :original_new, :new
include InstanceMethods
Does anyone have an idea of a way that I can get this plugin to be automatically applied to each model?
Edit: I read the other recent thread about mixins and the solution proposed there did not work. My include logic looks like:
ActiveRecord::Base.send :include, Viget::Permissions::AdminMassAssignment
and yet the models don't seem to know I've patched them without explicitly stating "admin_mass_assignment" in each of them.

Topic: A noob's desire to get it "right" the first time
Hi gals/guys,
I have recently seen the greener grass and come over from PHP-Land.
In the past, I have created web-apps and they have ended up a confused heap of code. Always, I was going to try better to make an organised system 'next time'.
I can see the opportunity in rails, along with ruby, to make a beautifully structured application (hey, it seems alot is done for you). What I want to make sure is that I make the most of what rails and ruby have to offer. I don't want to succumb to my past demons and sacrifice quality for silly desires.
So, my first project on rails has been born.
I am a member of a local boardriding club. We all ride surfboards and hold monthly competitions. Many people devote time to this club, I wanted to give something and I have started to build a website and system for the club. What a perfect opportunity to try out ruby & rails!
Below is my outline for the first phase of this project. I have put down the core of what I want to do in the hope that you (yes, you!) can help me a bit.
Can you (if you have the time - I commend you for reading this far) give me any helpful little bits of info?
Please, find faults in my ideas!
For the initial site I will be using users, news, divisions, events and scores.
Users - I will be getting the list of registered members for this year and filling a table with the data. Each year the registered users change, so an account will be either active or inactive (although this year, all will be active).
News - A bare-bones blog like thing - just crud on news posts. No comments. In the future I will give them the ability to link it to a specific event or member.
Divisions - The club is made up of different divisions, relating to the member's age and/or skill-level. A member's division will often change from year to year. I want to be able to track member's scores over the years, along with what division they were in.
Events - We run monthly competitions and hold other events such as parties. An event may span a varying length of time (a one day comp, a registration day for a few hours, a week's camping)
Scores - A score belongs to a member and an event (and through the event, a date). A member may have multiple scores for an event (I am in the process of learning how the club's scoring is done).
There are several different layers of security clearance for users.
Level 1, Public - Viewing data; editing personal info
Level 2 - Create and Update news items; Create and update events
Level 3 - Delete news; delete events; creating and deleting divisions, managing user->division relationships; ability to adjust clearance levels within levels 1 & 2, view user's private info (address, phone etc), editing user's personal info, marking users active/inactive, creating users; create, update and delete scores, manage the score's relationships between user and event
Level 4, Top Level - Make users level 3 and 4, delete users
I just read about single table inheritance which prompted me to see the above way of organising permissions. I am very confused in how it all works though. I don't understand what goes where.
A couple of things:
-Each year the club starts fresh
-I want to track members and events over years. A user may not be an active member one year and then they will the next, this I can handle at the beginning of each year by marking users active/inactive
-I need to design a very simple system for the scoring administration; the club currently tracks all scores over the year on paper and adds them up at the end. I want to make the switch to computer easy.
-I will be adding new features as time goes by
What is really important for me is that I can get this initial phase down in a correct manner. I want for the system to have a solid foundation from which I can extend and not need to change things later on.
So, what questions do I know to ask now?
1. How do I organise this user/permission structure?
2. How do I organise the different permission's abilities? For example - for news, is create, update and delete all within a news controller? Or are they split into different places according to the permissions required?
I started playing around with rails a week or two ago. I started to feel I understood how everything worked.
I feel like I have lost all understanding...
What is wrong with what I have planned above?
Thankyou very much for spending you time helping me.

Gust FrontsJune 19, 2013 by Bruce Landsberg
Last week was the Air Safety Institute's annual Storm Week. We only do it once a year despite some TV channels celebrating atmospheric mayhem weekly, gusting to daily and sometimes hourly. The webinar that we recorded for posterity was attended by over 900 pilots who had some interest in learning more about boomers from a controller's perspective, and with some guidance on datalink thrown in. An area we did not spend much time on but deserves more attention is gust fronts. This phenomenon, which does not accompany every thunderstorm, can really make a hash out of your arrival or departure.
To misquote Forrest Gump, "Thunderstorms are like a box of chocolates…", etc. What looks the same may not be, and benign can turn ugly really fast. The gust front is on the leading edge of the storm and forms when the storm hits maturity. A ripping good downdraft descending at, say, 3,000 feet per minute, has nowhere to go when it hits the ground—except out—usually to the front of the storm. The winds can go from practically nothing to 40 knots in the blink of an eye.
I was in the back seat of a Cessna 172 some decades ago with a new private pilot up front as PIC and an Air Force pilot friend, who was getting his checkout at McConnell Air Force Base in the F105 (affectionately known as the Thud). We'd flown to an airport east of Wichita and it had begun to cloud up, so we decided to return to Cessna Field on the east side of the city. On the west side, about 15 miles away, a pretty healthy thunderstorm had set up shop and shut down operations at the airline airport.
The winds were five knots or so from the northwest as we lined up on short final to Runway 35 but rapidly increased to about 15 -20 knots from the west—close, if not beyond, the demonstrated crosswind capability of the Skyhawk and well beyond the demonstrated crosswind capability of the pilot. We were about 10 feet off the ground when my Air Force friend strongly suggested a go-around. It was a good call! We headed out east and he turned to me, as senior Cessna driver, and said something to the effect of, "You get your posterior up here and land this thing!" I'm still not quite sure how we managed the seat transfer, but he came aft, I went forward to the right front seat, and we came back around for a second try. By that time the gust had passed and the winds were fairly steady from the west at about 12 knots. I'd like to say it was a heroic save on my part, but it wasn't—just a normal Kansas crosswind, and that's what Cessnas are built to handle.
But there were several good lessons: Don't judge a thunderstorm by its looks, sitting in the back seat makes it a long stretch to the controls, and when in doubt—go around! I remember all three to this day.

Thanks for protecting us, and please protect yourselves, too
Thanks for protecting us, and please protect yourselves, too
By Attorney General Roy Cooper
On Veterans Day we honor the commitment and dedication of the men and women who have served our country in the armed forces. But it's also a good time to remind our veterans and service members of some of the dangers they can face here at home.
While veterans, reservists and active duty military personnel have worked to protect our nation, my office works to protect them—and all North Carolinians—from frauds, scams, and unfair business practices.
Scams often target retired military personnel. We recently warned about scammers who tell veterans they'll help them navigate the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits process, but instead rip them off.
In most cases, individuals must be accredited by the VA in order to represent veterans seeking benefits, and they aren't supposed to charge for their services unless they're helping to appeal a VA decision. If you need assistance with your benefits, get accredited help. Search the
VA's website

Men and women currently serving in our Army, Air Force, Marines, Navy, Coast Guard, National Guard and Reserves are also targeted by frauds and scams. Here are some of the most common consumer problems that military personnel face:
Identity Theft:
Active duty military personnel who are deployed overseas may be vulnerable to
identity theft
, because it's more difficult for them to monitor their credit. Putting a free security freeze or active duty alert in place before you deploy can help protect your credit. A security freeze blocks access to your credit report without your permission, which can prevent an identity thief from opening a new account or getting credit in your name. An active duty alert lasts for a year and requires businesses to verify your identity before issuing new credit. With an active duty alert, you can designate a personal representative, such as a spouse, who can verify your identity or remove the active duty alert while you're away. For more information about
security freezes
active duty alerts
, visit
Auto Loans:
Watch out for abusive auto financing if you're in the market for a car. The Pentagon has found that unfair car sales practices frequently target military personnel. Dealers sometimes add expensive items into the loan agreement such as theft deterrent systems, extended warranties, and extra insurance to cover loan payments in case the car is involved in an accident. These unnecessary items can cost you a lot of money.
"Financial Planning" and Insurance:
Unscrupulous financial advisers try to target soldiers and sailors for investments that carry high fees. Insurance agents are now banned from trying to sell insurance at mandatory-attendance meetings on base, and they're also banned from using senior personnel to help them make their pitch. However despite recent crackdowns, military personnel remain at risk. Some insurance companies try to pressure military personnel into purchasing insurance they don't really need.
Advance Fee Loans and Credit Card:
Beware of advertisements promising easy access to loans and credit cards even if you have bad credit. "
Advance fee
" scams try to get you to pay upfront for help getting a loan or credit card, but once the payment is made the loan or new line of credit never materializes. Under North Carolina law, it is illegal to charge an advance fee for a loan or a credit card.
To avoid these and other consumer problems:
Watch out for scammers who try to gain your trust by claiming a connection to the military.
When preparing to deploy, put an active duty alert or a security freeze on your credit report.
Be cautious when buying a car, particularly a
used car
. Research the car's history and get it inspected by an independent mechanic. And remember that used cars are typically sold "as is," meaning the dealer isn't responsible for fixing problems once you drive the car off the lot.
Don't get pressured into buying unnecessary insurance or putting your money in risky investments. Choose reliable ways to invest your money, such as the military's Savings Deposit Program, and max out your government-issued insurance before you buy any other.
Beware of "advance fee" loans and credit cards. Remember, legitimate lenders will not charge you money upfront.
If you think you've been tricked or gotten a bad deal, file a
with my Consumer Protection Division at
or call 1-877-5-NO-SCAM toll-free within North Carolina. Filing a complaint will
hurt your military record, and we won't communicate with your chain of command unless you ask us to.

$2-million 'Phase I' work on Anderson Hall begins
$2-million 'Phase I' work on Anderson Hall begins
April 16, 2008
Karen B. Eldridge, Director of News and Public Information
865.981.8207; firstname.lastname@example.com
The last time building materials, construction equipment and scaffolding covered the ground around Anderson Hall, students in its classrooms were likely discussing current events like Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech and "Gordo" Cooper's mission into space aboard Faith 7. Undergraduates' essays may have argued the implications of the United States' participation in the nuclear test ban treaty and Fidel Castro's visit to the Soviet Union.
The construction that students, faculty and staff members witnessed back in 1963 carved out a suite for Maryville College's president, dean and development office on Anderson's first floor.
Some 45 years later, the campus community will witness another renovation of the now 138-year-old Anderson Hall. The work itself could be considered historic, as the College has never before undertaken a comprehensive project that would improve and preserve both exterior and interior features of the College's oldest and most recognized building.
"Phase I" of the renovation, which includes all exterior improvements, has commenced, according to Dr. Bill Seymour, vice president for administrative services.
"Scaffolding went up on Tuesday. Actual work on the brick may start by the end of this week. This involves removing the old mortar and 'tuck-pointing,' which is applying new mortar," Seymour explained, adding that the bell tower atop the building will be restored, and a new slate roof, gutters and downspouts will be installed as Phase I projects. Contractors will also stabilize the foundation and footings originally poured just four years after the Civil War.
All exterior work is expected to be completed by early fall.
Grieve Associates Architects (GAA) of Knoxville has been hired to head the renovation. Veterans of historic preservation projects, GAA has been in charge of major restorations and renovations in the region, including the old Miller's Building on Gay Street (now the corporate headquarters for the Knoxville Utilities Board).
Costs for the renovation of Anderson are expected to total $6 million. Fundraising for the project is a portion of the College's $83-million "Our Window of Opportunity" capital campaign, which will also fund a $47-million Civic Arts Center (Clayton Center for the Arts), add to the College's endowment and support the Maryville Fund for day-to-day operations.
According to Jason McNeal, vice president for advancement and community relations, the College has raised almost $71 million for the campaign to date; nearly $2 million for Phase I of Anderson.
"Since the beginning of our campaign, we knew that Anderson Hall would hold special meaning for Maryville alumni and the community. We also knew that two major capital projects would require a good deal of time and space planning. As we begin the final phase of CAC fundraising, we are now positioned to invite Maryville alumni and others to help restore our campus icon."
Phase II of the renovation includes all interior improvements and renovations, with work so extensive that the building will close for several months. The vision for "new" Anderson, according to McNeal, is "a learning space for the 21st century."
Drawing parallels between the reconstruction of Fayerweather Hall following a 1999 fire, the vice president said the renovated Anderson will look like the Anderson Hall of old on the outside, but inside, the space will be configured differently to accommodate 21st-century teaching and learning spaces for faculty and students.
The building will be wired for state-of-the-art technology and be made completely handicap accessible, which includes, among other measures, installing an elevator. It will boast different kinds of workspaces – classrooms, office spaces, and meeting rooms. Although no definite timetable has been approved for Phase II, Seymour said he expects construction workers to return to the site following the completion of the Civic Arts Center.
"When the Fine Arts Center and Wilson Chapel were razed to make way for the Civic Arts Center (CAC), the faculty and staff members of the Fine Arts Division were relocated to a renovated space inside Thaw Hall," he said. "They're expected to work and teach there until early 2010, when we expect the CAC to open. Our thought is that we wouldn't displace the Humanities and Education divisions [which presently inhabit Anderson] until we have adequate space for them on campus."
Anderson Hall was opened in 1870 and named for the Rev. Isaac Anderson, Maryville College's founder. Originally constructed at a cost of $25,000, its design copies "in some measure, the Indiana State University," according to an 1869 article in the Knoxville Weekly Whig.
The article continues: "Such an edifice will be an ornament to Maryville, and will add much to the interest of the traveler in his trip by railroad from Cincinnati via Knoxville to Charleston."
Funding for the original structure came from Northern philanthropists William Thaw and John Baldwin and the Freedmen's Bureau, which gave $13,000 in support of the College's policy of "excluding none from its benefits by reason of race or color."
In 1892, an addition to the rear of Anderson, paid for by a bequest from the estate of Daniel Fayerweather, doubled its size. The "Fayerweather Annex" gave the building its present "T-wing" floor plan.
In its long history, the building has served the College in a variety of ways, housing classrooms, the library, a chapel, administrative offices (including the president's office until 2001) and an art gallery. It is believed that, given Anderson's multi-functionality and the humanities courses required in the College's core curriculum, all Maryville College graduates – starting in 1870s and continuing through today – have traversed its halls.
Anderson Hall was entered on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. Its application describes the building as "extremely important to the city of Maryville" because of its value as an "outstanding architectural landmark" and its role "in the educational realm during the critical period following the Civil War."
McNeal said that the College highlighted Anderson Hall and the plans for its renovation in a 2006 College magazine. Response was overwhelmingly positive, especially from alumni, he said.
"It's the iconic building on campus, and generations of alumni resonate with Anderson Hall more than with any other building on campus," he said. "It's an important part of our heritage, and a building that we want to serve the College well in the next 100-plus years."
Stories, interviews, photos and audio files of alumni sharing their memories of Anderson – all created for the magazine – are still available online. Visit "Focus Summer 2006."

North Palm Beach residents Dr. Andy and Ivy Larson are familiar with labors of love. Their new book, Clean Cuisine: An 8-week Anti-Inflammatory Nutrition Program that Will Change the Way You Age, Look and Feel (Berkley Hardcover, $25.95), is the result of years of researching and implementing an anti-inflammatory diet.
When Ivy was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis 14 years ago, she turned to Andy, who was then in medical school, for a second opinion on whether she should change her diet. After a weekend in his school's medical library, Andy discovered a plant-forward diet packed with fruits and vegetables combated the symptoms of not only Ivy's condition but fibromyalgia, asthma, allergies and arthritis as well. He also found people who followed such diets lost weight, gained strength, reduced their cholesterol levels and lowered their blood pressure. The Larsons put their findings into practice, developing the food and fitness plan featured in the book.
Anyone can benefit from the regimen. "You really start seeing results in five weeks," Ivy says, adding that Andy and their son, Blake, are clean eaters, too. "In the end, this M.S. diagnosis was great because I wouldn't have changed my diet so radically without it and wouldn't have gotten these results."

It was only a matter of time before Google Android would catch up with Apple iOS in terms of features. But the platform from the search giant also managed to become better than the iOS in terms of quality, according to Steve Wozniak, a co-founder of Apple, who complains about poor operation of Siri voice services, battery life and overall issues with a closed platform.
"My primary phone is the iPhone. I love the beauty of it. But I wish it did all the things my Android does, I really do. [...] If you are willing to do the work to understand [Android] a little bit, well, I hate to say it, but there's more available in some ways," said Steve Wozniak, a co-founder of Apple, in an interview with The Daily Beast web-site.
Back in November, 2011, Steve Wozniak got Galaxy Nexus, which is powered by Android 4.0 "Ice Cream Sandwich" from Google itself; besides, he also owns Motorola Razr Droid. As a result, Mr. Wozniak can compare the latest and greatest from both Android and iOS worlds as he also has Apple iPhone 4S.
Since Google Android is available for licensing by many different hardware makers, it is widely considered as the "next Windows" for smartphone and tablets. But while Mr. Wozniak does not consider Windows a good operating system, although it is installed on nearly 95% of all personal computers sold in the world, he believes Android is even better than Apple iOS.
"There is not as big a difference [between iOS and Android] as there was between Mac and Windows," stressed Mr. Wozniak.
Steve Wozniak notes that Google Android lets developers publish their apps faster compared to iOS, where Apple's bureaucracy slows down software designers. Besides, he claims that he liked Siri much more when it was an app for the iPhone. At present Siri is an exclusive feature of iPhone 4S.
"I used to ask Siri, 'What are the five biggest lakes in California?' and it would come back with the answer. Now it just misses. It gives me real estate listings. I used to ask, 'What are the prime numbers greater than 87?' and it would answer. Now instead of getting prime numbers, I get listings for prime rib, or prime real estate. [...] With the iPhone 4 I could press a button and call my wife. Now on the 4S I can only do that when Siri can connect over the Internet. But many times it can't connect. I've never had Android come back and say, 'I can't connect over the Internet'," complained the co-founder of Apple.
Additionally, Mr. Wozniak also complains about battery life, which sometimes gets a lot shorter due to software issues with iOS 5. It is necessary to note that not all customers suffer from battery drain.
"With the iPhone, something happened with the new OS or the new phone, and it just started running through the battery so fast. I've had a lot of issues with things I have to turn off just to save the battery life," stressed Steve Wozniak.

Globalfoundries, the contract maker of semiconductors controlled by Advanced Technology Investment Company and Advanced Micro Devices, has reportedly requested additional incentives from the local government so that to boost room floor of its fab 2 in Luther Forest, New York, in an attempt to expand the clean room space, something that ultimately boosts manufacturing capacity.
Globalfoundries proposes to expand the main fab building from 325 586 square feet to 491 054 square feet (30 247 square meters to 45 620 square meters so that it will have the room to potentially expand the clean room where manufacturing takes place from 210 000 square feet to 300 000 square feet (19 509 square meters to 27 870 square meters), reports Times Union web-site.
According to the media report, Globalfoundries asks the state to provide incentive of $300 million to boost capacity the fab, which already costs over $4.2 billion.
The expansion of clean room will allow Globalfoundries to ultimately increase capacity of the whole Fab 2, which is among the most advanced and largest semiconductor manufacturing facilities in the world. The media report claims that Globalfoundries had been intending all along to potentially expand the clean room to that size, and the zoning changes it requested from the town two years ago set the limit at 300 000 square feet because the company knew all along that it might need the additional capacity.

Reviews of this property
W'd a wonderful staying at Lupa. It's close to the Trastevere train station and the tram, so well comunicated. Sabrina was very kind with us and explained all to know about Rome.
We stayed at Cristina's place for 2 nights and enjoyed it very much.
Christina was always availabe for questions and was very helpful. Room and bathroom were always clean, could get a little bit cold in the bathroom in January, since there's no heating in the bathroom, but never mind. We'd stay there again if we were to visit Rome a second time!
Had a very nice stay. The room was clean and the way into the city by tram easy. Nice little restaurants in the neighbourhood.
Room was clean and comfortable with bathroom. Room was cleaned everyday. It had a full kitchen with stove, microwave, pots and pans, dishes, and sink. the location was very good.. The best part was the breakfast.
We had a nice time in this flat.
The flat is well situated next to the train station.
We had no problems with checking in or out. If there were general questions, you can contact Christina easily by phone or web.
Die Unterkunft war gut - alles war sauber, die Dusche etwas eng. Der Verkehrslärm erträglich und die Nähe zur Station und zur Tram waren prima. Cristina ist sehr nett und hat uns gute Infos geliefert.
The accommodation was good - everything was clean, the shower a bit cramped. The traffic noise bearable and the proximity to the station and the tramway were great. Cristina is very nice and gave us good info.
we were in Roma for 8 days and loved staying with Christina. She is super friendly and helpful, the apartment/ room was super clean and the location is great. Only a few minutes from Trastevere Station with bus, metro and train, supermarket and restaurants on via di Trastevere and the old town in walking distance.
Would definitely stay here again!
Very good experience, spacious bathroom ok! the tram to go to the historic center of Rome is 5 minutes walk. No noise, because the room is located over interrieure side. Although at first glance the building looks in poor condition, very good service. Moreover, Cristina has shown us the way to achieve good Local resort, by sending us messages before and sms from our arrival at the airport. Airport fumiccino and direct line train to Trastevere station (no change) and then a few minutes walk to get to the room ... hard to lose! Anyway Thanks Cristina,
Très bonne experience, chambre spacieuse salle de bain correcte! le tramway pour aller au centre historique de Rome se situe à 5 minutes à pieds. Pas de bruit, car la chambre est située côté cours interrieure. Même si a première vue l'immeuble semble en mauvais état, très bonne préstation. De plus, Cristina nous a bien indiqué le chemin pour arriver à bonne déstination, en nous faisant parvenir des messages avant de partir puis des sms à notre arrivée à l'aéroport. Aéroport de fumiccino, puis ligne directe de train jusqu'a la gare de trastavere (pas de changement) puis quelques minutes à pieds pour arriver à la chambre... difficile de se perdre! Bref
Merci Cristina,
Very welcome. The room is a bit noisy because of the street is busy. Otherwise nothing wrong it's very nice. Jerome
Très bon accueil.
La chambre est un peu bruyante à cause de la rue qui est très passante.
Sinon rien à redire c'est très agréable.

That being said, I do believe he must have had the rarer, less aggressive type. 5-year survival rate on the more common form of pancreatic cancer is less than 1%.
