Citizen's Arrest and Self-defence Act
Government Orders
1:55 p.m.
Shawn Murphy Charlottetown, PE
Mr. Speaker, as the member for Eglinton—Lawrence indicated, this is an unusual set of circumstances. The member is quite right that this was apparently discussed by the Attorney General and his provincial counterparts previously and that there was an agreement made to do nothing. Then the incident with Mr. Chen arose and, of course, there was an overwhelming national outcry about his being sanctioned. It makes one wonder why the police officers or the crown prosecutors did not have the wisdom to see where this would lead and head it off at the pass. That, unfortunately, did not matter.
The member's question deals with restitution. I will leave that to the committee as it is a complicated area. It gets into whose responsibility is it. Is it Ottawa's or the provinces? We do not know all of the facts now, but I know Mr. Chen incurred substantial bills. The Canadian public certainly sympathizes with him and I believe it wants to see him get restitution, but we should leave that to the committee and let it have a full hearing on this very interesting and important issue.
Citizen's Arrest and Self-defence Act
Government Orders
1:55 p.m.
The Deputy Speaker Andrew Scheer
There will be two minutes remaining for questions and comments after question period. We will now move on to statements by members.
Democratic Development
Statements By Members
1:55 p.m.
Raymonde Folco Laval—Les Îles, QC
Mr. Speaker, on March 20, the whole world celebrated La Francophonie. Today we mark the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. Unfortunately, the Conservative government has ignored these two events.
Canada has cut funding for Canadian organizations that work to promote democracy, and has abandoned the project that was to create an agency to promote democracy abroad.
In the current international context, African countries, including some that belong to La Francophonie, are most in need of help with creating and strengthening their democracies.
The government's lack of action suggests a withdrawal from the international Francophonie and a policy that discriminates against Africa, made worse by the removal of many African countries from the international priority list for assistance.
I am asking the Conservatives to stop this discriminatory policy and to free up the money required to respect the commitments that have already been made to democratic development.
Jean Neveu
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Daniel Paillé Hochelaga, QC
Mr. Speaker, he was "a force of nature, as if he came out of a Gilles Vigneault song." He was a great citizen who was remarkably generous and tremendously approachable. He was a Quebecker who loved his country. That is how the president and CEO of Quebecor, Pierre-Karl Péladeau, described Jean Neveu, one of the builders of the company.
Jean Neveu was strong-willed, brave, genuine and sometimes even shy and uncertain. This is how people perceived this man who was so well loved and respected. I knew and worked with this great man.
He passed away quietly and suddenly but his passing caused a shock wave among his family, friends, colleagues and employees. Let us honour him in the House and let Doris, her children and grandchildren know how much we care.
Good-bye Jean. Say hello to Mr. P. for me.
Women of Vision
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Linda Duncan Edmonton Strathcona, AB
Mr. Speaker, for the last 16 years, Edmonton's Global Television network has showcased local women of vision whose vision and leadership enrich our lives and community. One of the 2010 honoured women of vision is Edmonton—Strathcona resident and acclaimed writer, poet, and teacher, Shirley Serviss.
Shirley is a very special kind of poet. Not content with publishing award-winning poetry, she is Canada's first literary artist of Artist on the Wards, a unique arts therapy program. Over the past decade, the poetry lady, as she is dubbed, has pushed her cart and supplies through the wards engaging patients in the University of Alberta hospital in writing to ease the stress of their illness. Shirley writes poems on demand and encourages patients to write their own. Her third collection of poetry, Hitchhiking in the Hospital, was inspired by her work on the wards.
Shirley's efforts for others do not end there. She is leading Artists Urban Village, the Edmonton chapter of a national initiative for affordable housing and workspace to support the careers of low-income and aging artists. She is just one of the many extraordinary women of Edmonton.

James Bezan Selkirk—Interlake, MB
Mr. Speaker, a week ago Sunday, four outstanding curlers competed to win the National Men's Curling Championship held in London, Ontario. The win is a victory for all Canadians but particularly for those who hail from their home province of Manitoba.
Though a tough match, Jeff Stoughton led his team of Jonathan Mead, Reid Carruthers and Steve Gould to an 8-6 victory over Ontario's Glenn Howard. The Stoughton foursome shot 96% in the Brier final, the highest team percentage in the history of the championship game and the second highest in the history of the entire event. They made all Manitobans proud by making every big shot out there, giving Manitoba its record 27th Brier, the most of any province.
All Canadians can be proud of their efforts and those of all provincial teams who competed in this truly Canadian event.
I ask all members of Parliament to join me in congratulating Team Stoughton for a fantastic Brier win and to wish them success as they represent Canada at the World Men's Curling Championship in Regina from April 2 to 10.
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Martha Hall Findlay Willowdale, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to wish all Canadians who are celebrating Nowruz all the best in the year ahead.
The passing of the vernal equinox is a sign of rebirth and awakening of nature, a moment of renewal that celebrates life. As we celebrate this time, we are given the opportunity to reflect and give thanks for past blessings and look forward to the hard work that we as members of Parliament will continue to do to help build a society that is inclusive of all its members.
At this time of renewal, I wish everyone a year filled with happiness and success. As members of Parliament, we should do everything we can to ensure that this new year provides opportunities for everyone.
I ask my colleagues in the House to join me in wishing everyone health, happiness and success for the new year.
[Member spoke in Farsi]
Ontario Expropriations Act
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Scott Reid Lanark—Frontenac—Lennox and Addington, ON
Mr. Speaker, under Ontario's Expropriations Act, if the province takes away people's land it must pay them full, just and timely compensation. The province must pay the market value of the land, plus moving costs, et cetera.
However, if the government places restrictions on the use of people's land or requires them to make large expenditures to continue using their land as they always have, they get no compensation, even if compliance with the new rules financially ruins them. That is why MPP Randy Hillier and I have introduced identical resolutions in the Commons and at Queen's Park to extend these compensation rules to all actions of the Ontario government that devalue property by depriving landowners of the full use and enjoyment of their land.
If passed in both places, this resolution would add property rights for Ontarians to Canada's Charter of Rights and Freedoms and it would ensure that the costs of new rules intended for the benefit of all would be borne by all Ontario taxpayers and not just by the unfortunate landowners whose rights to use or enjoy their property have been restricted.
Aboriginal Affairs
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Yvon Lévesque Abitibi—Baie-James—Nunavik—Eeyou, QC
Mr. Speaker, given that this is nutrition month, it is shocking to learn that the government insists upon implementing the Nutrition North Canada program, which is at the root of the food crisis currently affecting isolated communities. The purpose of the program is to help give families access to healthy food. However, it has done the opposite by driving up prices.
The Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development and the Minister of Health, who is an Inuk herself, have been blindly obeying their leader, while their colleague from Roberval—Lac-Saint-Jean has been making a mess of things because he knows absolutely nothing about this issue.
The government led us to believe that it had got the message but it was all a sham. The government demonstrated its cynicism by restoring the items to the list of foods that will be subsidized until fall 2012, which only puts off the problem.
This government signed the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and yet it lacks consideration for Canada's northern communities. It is sad and, above all, shameful.
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Nina Grewal Fleetwood—Port Kells, BC
Mr. Speaker, it is with sadness that I offer my condolences to those who have lost friends and relatives in the Japan earthquake, its aftershocks and the tsunami. My thoughts and prayers are with all those affected by this terrible disaster.
I was born in Japan and spent my early childhood living there. My father worked in Japan for many years. The news of the earthquake, loss of life and destruction have left both of us heartbroken as we think of those many Japanese friends and their wonderful country.
Japan has been struck by this tragedy greatly and needs all the support it can get. I know that Canadians are very compassionate and are willing to help whenever possible. Already, the Government of Canada is doing its part but everyday citizens can also assist. The best way for Canadians to help is to donate money. I ask everyone to please do so now and to please be generous.
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Bryon Wilfert Richmond Hill, ON
Mr. Speaker, last week, the international community spoke with a united voice to take action to protect the Libyan people from the Gadhafi regime. Despite the UN resolution, Gadhafi has continued to kill his own people.
The Liberal Party of Canada has been calling for a no-fly zone since the Libyan crisis began as a means to live up to our responsibility to protect. It is a shame that Canada is not a member of the Security Council, as we could have then cast a vote in favour of this historic resolution.
In keeping with the Security Council resolution, the Liberal Party supports Canada's participation in this operation. However, Parliament must also have a say in this and other combat operations. We expect the government to consult Parliament on this decision. We also want the government's commitment to obtain Parliament's approval if it plans to extend this deployment beyond three months.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the brave members of our Canadian Forces as they embark on a dangerous mission in the defence of the people of Libya.
International Day of La Francophonie
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Sylvie Boucher Beauport—Limoilou, QC
Mr. Speaker, 41 years ago, in 1970, in Niamey, Niger, Canada played an active role in the founding of La Francophonie. In honour of that occasion, yesterday, on Sunday, March 20, Canada and the other members of La Francophonie celebrated International Day of La Francophonie.
French is spoken by more than 9.5 million Canadians and has played an important role in our history, our identity and our daily lives. As our Prime Minister often reminds us, Canada was founded in the language of Molière—in French.
French is still spoken in many communities in our country, from Acadians in the Maritimes, to Ontario and Saskatchewan. Of course, our language remains a strong symbol of our identity in all regions of Quebec, as in my riding, Beauport—Limoilou.
Salaries of CEOs
Statements By Members
March 21st, 2011 / 2:10 p.m.
Jim Maloway Elmwood—Transcona, MB
Mr. Speaker, according to Maclean's magazine, in the 12 year period between 1995 and 2007 there has been a 444% salary increase for the highest paid CEOs in Canada.
The following are just a few examples of how profits of millions of Canadian shareholders were spent. In 1995, the CEO for the Royal Bank received $2.2 million and in 2007, it was over $44 million. In 1995, the CEO for Petro-Canada received $1.3 million and in 2007, it was $17 million. In 1995, the CEO of Air Canada received under $2 million and in 2007, the CEO for ACE Aviation, which owned Air Canada, made $43 million.
It is time that the millions of ordinary Canadian shareholders are protected from such outrageous executive compensation and that CEO compensation be approved directly by a two-thirds vote of the shareholders who own the companies.
Liberal Party of Canada
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Ed Fast Abbotsford, BC
Mr. Speaker, last week, the Liberals revealed that they have not dropped their plan to impose a carbon tax. Their spokesperson, the member for Kings—Hants, said:
A carbon tax is not a left-wing or a right-wing policy, it's simply a sensible, pragmatic, courageous [policy].
We should make no mistake. The Liberal leader has a plan to raise taxes. He is openly calling for a $6 billion tax hike. He is demanding that this tax hike be included in the next budget or he will force an expensive and completely unnecessary election.
Now, he is bringing back the Liberal carbon tax on everything. However, Canadians should not be surprised. After all, the Liberal leader has been called the "father" of the carbon tax.
Sadly, the Liberal leader's high tax agenda will stall our recovery, kill jobs and hurt ordinary, hard-working Canadians.
In contrast, our government continues to focus on completing Canada's economic recovery and implementing our low tax plan for Canadian families.
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Jean Dorion Longueuil—Pierre-Boucher, QC
Mr. Speaker, Quebeckers, like all Canadians, share in the pain of the Japanese people as our friends in that nation have faced challenges over the past 10 days.
Since I have personal and family ties to this country, where I had the privilege of living for six years, on behalf of the Bloc Québécois—but I think this also reflects the sentiment of the House—I would like to offer our sympathies to the people of Japan and also express our admiration for their dignity and discipline in the face of these catastrophes. Japan has once again displayed its distinctive characteristics: solidarity, discipline and integrity.
To the people of Japan, its diplomatic representatives and to our citizens of Japanese descent, instead of wishing you good luck or wishing you well, I would like to share a saying in Japanese that reflects the importance of work in this country's culture: Ganbatte kudasai, or do your best.

Big news in college communications
Editor's note: This is a series of columns by John Malcolm on his "50 years at Fredonia." Retired, he is a professor emeritus at Fredonia State.
The speech communication department grew steadily and drew its strength from the fact that every student in the college had to take at least a basic public speaking course.
Once enrolled in that course, Dr. Solomon Simonson and others were successful in convincing students to take part in what he called "co-curricular" activities: drama, debate, oratory, oral interpretation, radio, TV, and film. Majors were required to participate in two activities per semester.
Simonson was committed to the idea of a unified department; that is, combining speech pathology and audiology, theater, public speaking, debate, radio, TV, film. Further, that each major should participate in actual practice outside the classroom.
Through full-time faculty in the department and with loaned faculty quite a program was created. Simonson taught all of the rhetoric and public address courses; another staff member taught oral interpretation and doubled as a teacher of pedagogy.
A third taught theater, supported by an interested member of the English Department who taught technical theatre. A fourth taught courses in radio-TV and a fifth handled speech correction and ran a clinic. (Henry Youngerman for whom our current center is named.) The entire faculty taught at least one section of the introductory public speaking course. Courseload in those days was 15 hours, 12 for a chair.
Dr. Simonson was also successful in having faculty from other departments teach courses that would help the majors-one in English taught script writing but was titled "Advanced Composition."
The department certainly had public exposure. There were high school forensic tournaments-debate, oral reading, memorized speeches, etc.; a yearly high school drama tournament; a free clinic for those with speech problems. There was a monthly television program, "Fredonia Folio," airing on WGR-TV, now GRZ, in Buffalo and WICU in Erie.
For radio, a nightly program was aired on WDOE – formerly WFCB – and drew heavily from faculty and student talents. During this period Fredonia won two Ohio State University Awards for an instructional radio series titled "The Radio Schoolhouse of Western New York." (At one time the Ohio State Awards were the equivalent of "Emmys" for educational/instructional programming.)
John Malcolm is a Fredonia resident.

Hey friends, so while I've been focused on the upcoming rapture and weird You Tube videos, many of you (and by many, i mean like 6 people. Okay even that's an exaggeration, maybe 3) have been asking for a Real Housewives of New Jersey re-cap.
Unfortunately for us all, I still haven't had time to sit down with some popcorn, cue up the DVR and settle in for a nice evening filled with the adult version of The Jersey Shore. But I care about the readers so I begged my friend Jodie (you may remember her from her previous guest post on Brittany from The Bachelor, check it out here) to help us out with her own recap.
I promise to get back on the Real Housewives bandwagon and get some posts going. I must say, I am partial to the ladies from New York (guess it's all that big city livin') so I will try to catch a marathon this weekend and get to posting.
Until then, we have the fabulous Jodie to thank for the scoop on the first trip back to the Mansions of Jersey. Enjoy!
Finally, it's back. The real housewives to end all real housewives. That's right-Real Housewives of New Jersey (RHONJ) is back and it definitely DID NOT disappoint! This season, we have two newcomers. They are not just any Jersey women, who wear inappropriate outfits to christenings and break out into fights daily–they are actually Theresa's relatives. And they know what's up. No shrinking violets here. These girls are here and ready to flip some tables. The newcomers are Melissa, Theresa's sister-in-law and Kathy, Theresa's cousin. And boy, do they both hate Theresa.
The new season started out with a bang—with what else—an actual brawl at Theresa's nephew's christening (why not? That doesn't happen in your family?!). Those clever producers over at bravo really showed their skills by showing part of the brawl, then flashing back to a week early so we could get the back story…before then ultimately ended up back at the brawl (that's tv-making MAGIC there).
Before we get to the SE that erupted in the Catholic ceremony that episode, I want to touch on Jacqueline's daughter Ashley and how much SE I have every time she is on that show. The girl legit can't grow up and will never realize the world doesn't revolve around her. AND, in my pal Danielle's (the writer of this blog, not the crazy, botox-faced Danielle from RHONJ) famous words she also doesn't understand that …crying doesn't solve anything.
This episode Ashley's mom visits her at work at a PR firm in New York City (how did she get this job? C'mon really?). She meets her boss, who expresses to Jacqueline that Ashley is great, but she should get to work on time, and she needs to come every day. A commute is not an excuse to skip work. Seriously?! Jacqueline kindly scolded her daughter in front of her boss—by telling her she needs to work on getting in everyday (which honestly, when the boss brought the subject up to her mom—I think that's what she was wanting right??). Then Ashley says she wants her parents to pay for her to have a place in the city so she doesn't have to commute anymore. She is smoking something if that's what she thinks the real world is about. Ashley leaves the room crying. Her boss comes in to hold her while she cries, and then she makes her mom leave the room. SERIOUSLY. Because you mom won't pay for you to live it up in New York City. She's trying to make you a grown up. You should probably work on it.
Next…stuff with Caroline's boys moving out. It's about time, but seriously, I borderline love this family, so I am not going to knock them.
Ok. Onto the family drama. So apparently Theresa's brother (Joey) married Melissa. The back story is, they got along at first, but now hate each other. Theresa feels after Melissa married her brother, she stopped trying to be friends and was very cold to Theresa. Melissa claims Theresa didn't share anything in her life with them—good or bad, the past few years (I am assuming the show being one of these things?? Whether that was good or bad is up in the air. And the bankruptcy being the other? Honestly, who knows ?).
Kathy is married to the weirdest man in the world and appears to be team Melissa. Now, as much as I hate to admit it, I feel like I am team Theresa on this one. Theresa takes the higher (I said higher, not high) road when it comes to the family drama. In all the narrations she said some shit about Melissa, but seems to be more careful of what she says. On the other side, Melissa rants on and on about how Theresa's husband turned their father against Joey and how her parties are better than Theresa's. Really? First of all, when it comes to the daddy issues-they are all grown men. These aren't teenage girls that spread rumors to get someone to dump you. It all seems mildly childish. And really, if Joey wants a good relationship with his dad-go get one. I really can't believe Theresa or her husband are the sole people preventing that. Also—if you get a chance read their Bravo blogs (Theresa's is here and Melissa's is here)—they are highly entertaining. Melissa obviously still is trying to be super negative and talk as much shit about Theresa as possible. Theresa, didn't really mention it at all. To me, that's her trying to take a positive step forward.
Anyway we move onto the ceremony. Melissa is wearing a dress I would have worn to Avio (editor's note – Avio was a super awesome all-you-can drink for $10 bar that we frequented on almost every college night)on an extra special night back in 2006—so naturally that is the appropriate choice for her son's baptism. Theresa came late to the christening because her husband had the runs (true story) and didn't go to the ceremony. All in all though, she seemed to be involved and generally happy. She congratulated the couple twice. But the second time was too much—her brother was drunk, was upset that she said congrats at the reception and called her garbage. Then Theresa's husband said something to her brother after she left, and Joey went freaking nuts. Watching these two fight WAS HILARIOUS, because they both have MAJOR Napoleon complexes. They are both probably 5'2" and about that wide around. Nuggets if I'd ever seen one. If either of them got into a fight with a guy of normal stature, they'd be out for the count. This fight was actually made for them! In the end, it was super embarrassing and more chaotic than the fight between Theresa, Ashley, Jacqueline and Danielle Staub from last season (can you believe it?!). I mean for goodness sake, this was a baptism. I mean, I'm Italian, but I'm glad the Cagnetti's have never gone that far off the deep end. Also, how sad was their dad? He was like about to die after the fight!
The scenes for the upcoming season look as juicy as ever. It appears the whole cast (including feuding families) go on a Caribbean trip of some sort. And guess what….they get into some huge fights! CAN'T WAIT. Until next week…I suppose I'll have to fill up the time with RHONY and RHOOC, and of course, my fave, watch what happens live! With Andy Cohen (isn't he THE BEST?).

Starbucks Reports 13% Rise in Profit: Hot Trends
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Popular searches on the Internet include Starbucks(SBUX) as the coffee shop retailer reported fiscal first-quarter profit that rose 13%, in line with analysts' estimates.
The results were driven by sales increases in the Americas and a 6% rise in sales at stores around the world that have been open at least a year.
Starbucks said it earned $432.2 million, or 57 cents a share, in the quarter, up from $382.1 million, or 50 cents a share, a year ago. Revenue rose 11% to $3.8 billion. Analysts had been looking for revenue of $3.85 billion and a profit of 57 cents a share.
CEO Howard Schultz has been trying to boost sales and turn around the company where it has struggled. Starbucks has closed weak stores in the U.S., focused on accelerating growth overseas in countries like India and Vietnam, developed its own home brewer system, the Verismo, and expanded beyond coffee with juice and baked goods.
Vine is trending as Twitter has unveiled its new video-sharing application.
Through Vine, users can record videos up to six seconds in length and then post and share them on Twitter. The videos will run on an endless loop similar to GIFs. Twitter hopes keeping the videos short will make them more conducive to sharing and originality.
"Like tweets, the brevity of videos on Vine, 6 seconds or less, inspires creativity," said Michael Sippey, Twitter vice president of product.
Vine is currently available on the Web and on iOS, thought Twitter said it is working toward bringing the service to other platforms. Users can download the app from the Apple App Store. Users don't have to have a Twitter account to use Vine.
Microsoft(MSFT) is another popular search. The company reported second-quarter results that missed on revenue but topped analysts' earnings estimates.
Microsoft attributed record sales numbers to the introduction of Windows 8, the revamped PC operating system that was introduced on Oct. 26, 2012. The company said its Windows division reported revenue that climbed 24% from a year ago to $5.88 billion.
The company said for the quarter ended Dec. 31, it earned $6.38 billion, or 76 cents a share, on revenue of $21.46 billion. Analysts had been looking for earnings of 75 cents a share on revenue of $21.56 billion.
The chatter on Main Street (a.k.a. Google, Yahoo! and other search sites) is always of interest to investors on Wall Street. Thus, each day, TheStreet compiles the stories that are trending on the Web, and highlights the news that could make stocks move.

or recommend a good place to start? Please excuse my ignorance. I have been drinking loose leaf tea Western style for years, but recently discovered this website. I've been interested in both Gongfu brewing and Pu-Erh, but I have no idea where to begin. To be honest, the whole thing feels slightly overwhelming.
I have read many of the forum posts, but I still have many questions. I have a $50 gift card and I thought I could buy a gaiwan, two yixing cups and some Pu-Erh to start out with. I thought about getting this from Red Blossom Tea.
But I wondered how much tea to use for a gongfu tea ceremony? What temp for the water, etc. Are there detailed instructions for a complete newbie anywhere?
Thanks for any advice and I'm sorry to bother anyone.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (86 votes).
In short: Very well organised, great signing and marshalling, nice flat course, not too busyDate of review: October 12, 2010
In short: A very enjoyable event and well organisedIn full: From my point of view there were no hitches with the organisation of this race. I enjoyed the scenery and the course was pretty benign (which was helpful as I set off way too fast!). Support around the course was patchy at times, but where there were crowds of people they were great. The wooden medal was a nice touch. An expensive event but I'd recommend doing it at least once!Date of review: October 12, 2010
In short: A Nice run out in London on a really nice day In full: The course was excellent but need more toilets.Date of review: October 12, 2010
In short: Great location, well organised, touch pricey but a great event.Date of review: October 12, 2010
In short: Fantastic race through some of the best bits of London!In full: The atmosphere was great and definitely one for beginners - this was my first half marathon since I started running in April. It was very well organised with plenty of water points, although I agree with the comments about toilets!Couldnt face the food, but the family enjoyed it!Date of review: October 12, 2010
In short: Flat, fast, lively, scenic, what more are you looking for!Date of review: October 12, 2010
In short: recommended for people who like london eventsIn full: I liked the t-shirt - good to have one that you can train in rather than a cotton one post race. If only I had trained... a well organised event overall. More toilets needed - if you get there early you only end up needing to go again. Loads of free food and I particularly appreciated the percy pigs. Pretty medal. Was crowded in places but this is to be expected with an event this size. As I approached the start line everyone was walking, but as soon as we hit the chip start we broke into a run.Date of review: October 12, 2010
In short: Best HM in LondonIn full: Lucky enough to get entry to and run all three RPHMs and consider it a great race on a flat and fairly open course given the number of runners.All the sights of central London, great organisation and marhsalling, lots of freebies and plenty of spectators/support on the course. And the weather was good, too.Shame about the motif on and colour of the t-shirt (2009 as bad); the 2008 shirt was much better.Date of review: October 12, 2010
In short: scenic half marathon that riases money for charityDate of review: October 11, 2010
In short: weather helping/ privileged route and great organisationIn full: also an opportunity to make a pb, the route is very flat. Date of review: October 11, 2010

Here's how RW members rated this race (104 votes).
In short: Its NOT flat, not sure what race others were doing!In full: I really enjoyed it but should have done more research as slowed in the second half due to what seemed like more climbs from the half way mark. Although the start and finish were at the same place so I'd thought 'what goes up must come down' etc. but most of the downhill's seemed to be down to a 'T' junction so you couldn't relax down them, you had to break.Lots of turns so not really PB potentail I'd say.May be not as many toilets but I arrived and started lining up about 45 minutes before the start and wasn't waiting long. If you get in the line not long before the start then what do you expect??Good race and nice to see the race director at the end and thank him personally. Thanks also to the marshalls!!Date of review: March 8, 2012
In short: A great race - glad to see it backIn full: I really enjoyed the race and echo what everybody else has been saying about marshals etc. I am a TRAC member, so I guess I am biased but on a wet and potentially manky day I salute those who were out on the course for over 4 hours, at least us runners were moving about a bit.On a personal note, I would like to thank Steve from Tunbridge Wells Harriers who ran the race with me and helped me to a PB time I never thought possible. You were great company and kept me going when I was flagging. Finally, the usual old story, toilets. Experience has taught me that there are two things certain about every race ever organised.(a) folk will moan about toilets(b) folk won't read their race instructions fully. I used the gents near the race start, ten minutes before the start, and was in and out in less than a minute. There were approximately ten ladies outside their loo at that time.I am TRAC treasurer this year and I was stunned at the cost of portaloo hire. The four at HQ plus a bank of urinals cost £552 to hire including delivery. That is about £1.25 per runner, nearly 10% of your entry fee. Getting the balance right between facilities laid on, goody bag contents, race entry fee etc is very difficult and to be honest I think it was about bang on.Date of review: March 7, 2012
In short: Many thanks an excellent raceIn full: As usual the first point is to thank the organisers and marshalls for giving their time. The marshalls were very supportive. In my view this is a really great race for Spring marathon preparation, though for me it's best treated as a training run rather than a race. The scenery is highly varied. Overall the course is interesting but pretty flat.Thanks to TRAC for organising this. The effort put in by clubs like yours is greatly appreciated. Also thanks to whoever decided this was a Kent Grand Prix event. The same again next year please!Date of review: March 6, 2012
In short: gently undulating but fast course - superbly organised race.In full: Thanet have marshals to die for - simply the best. Jelly babies and smiling faces everywhere and race organisation that was phenomenal. Well done to the RD and the support team around him. Great job. Fantastic goodie bag - technical T and medal and food and special offers.... Race HQ in a warm and try school hall. Public bogs across the road as well as portaloos. Parking (free) everywhere. How good does it get... Even the rain held off for most of the race....Date of review: March 6, 2012
In short: Well organised with very friendly and encouraging marshalsIn full: Not keen on the new route having to go round the promenade so many times, but a great race all the same. Given the cold and rainy weather the marshals deserve special thanks. Look forward to next year, but more toilets are needed.Date of review: March 6, 2012
In short: Great spring marathon prepIn full: Always a good tester before an April marathon. Once youve finished the loops at the start the route is mainly nice and scenic ( although undulating to say the least). Marshalls were great. PLenty of water, and the t shirt plus medal was welcome. Thanks ThanetDate of review: March 6, 2012
In short: Perfect for pre spring marathon training runIn full: Challenging but enjoyable. Lots of excellent well positioned marshalls a definite highlight.Date of review: March 6, 2012
In short: Challenging 20 miler, excellent pre marathon training run!In full: Quite hilly, lovely scenery depending on the weather. This year it was overcast sometimes windy & rainy, so not so pretty to look at. Only down side was the amount of dog mess on the route between Ramsgate & Broadstairs....it really was disgusting! Lots of comments from fellow runners. Not a good advert for a coastal resort! Apart from this, an excellent race with chatty fellow runners!Date of review: March 6, 2012
In short: Excellent club organised race In full: A really good marathon preparation event. Thanet did a great job - well marshalled making it impossible to go off course, a route that takes you past the start at mid way and decent scenery despite the weather. Well done organisers for the no headphones policy - let's have more doing it! Date of review: March 6, 2012
In short: I know its 20 miles. But TRAC run it like clockwork. Excellent.In full: Parking is fine. Lovely marshals at every turn with proper bottles of water and the occasional jelly baby :) a couple of deadly hills! but they are a challenge for us all training for the spring mara I cant complain. Only grip as usual not enough portaloos! oh well. another top race TRAC well done. Especially the local scouts ;)Date of review: March 5, 2012

I said to myself I wasn't going to give attention to this particular subject but I have since changed my mind. I'm referring to the uproar recently about an upcoming documentary on Chapman based on 40 hours of interviews of the man who gunned down John Lennon. (see article below)
He supposively did it to be noticed, to be famous, well it looks like this TV network is giving him what he wanted from day one. The only lesson to be learned from airing this to me is a very simple one. Crime does pay.
Shame on the greed of the media to give this criminal and other so-called TV shows to encourage crime. I was watching some channel the other day and it's a TV series about master crimes and it basically imortalizes thieves and criminals as master brilliant minds to pull some of these robberies. If they mention assault or murder committed it is quickly passed over for the theme of skillful planning, brilliant execution of crime. TV shows detailing crime so much, I long for the days of simple cowboy and medical shows. Too many police and legal shows putting too many criminals and crooked lawyers up on a pedistal.
NEW YORK, NY, United States (UPI) -- Yoko Ono says that a documentary about John Lennon`s assassin to be aired on the anniversary of the New York murder will hurt her and her husband`s many fans.
"It shows a lack of understanding of the painful memories of what
happened to John`s beautiful life," she said in a statement.
Mark David Chapman, who admits that he gunned down Lennon outside the Dakota apartment house on Dec. 8 1980 because he wanted to be
notorious, is serving a 20-year-to-life sentence in Attica Prison.
A spokeswoman for Britain`s Channel 4 told the New York Daily News
that the program is a serious documentary. Jack Jones, an author who
interviewed Chapman in prison in 1981, 1982 and 1992, gave the
filmmakers 40 hours of tapes.

Episode 240: Peter Otto
April 5, 2010 · Print This Article
This week: HOLY CRAP OUR SHOW AT apexart OPENS!!! April 7th 6-8 p.m. http://www.apexart.org/exhibitions/badatsports.htm.
Also this week: Duncan talks to Peter Otto!
Peter Otto's work reports on the constituent factors of a human condition continually shifting between beguiling and highly disturbing. He reveals the state to which humanity – ever tested by social, cultural and political forces – bends, breaks and at times collapses. His paintings and sculptures show a reality emerging from the darkest moments. The themes are somber; the work though is delicately formed and teeming with graceful facture.
Otto, who lives in Arnhem, The Netherlands, has been featured in solo and group exhibitions throughout Europe including projects at Museum Beelden aan Zee in Scheveningen, the Kröller-Müller Museum, Boÿmans van Beuningen in Rotterdam, Galerie Reuten and Galerie Swart in Amsterdam, the Museum Kurhaus Kleve and the Pushkin Museum in Moscow.

In short: My local club will join the club on the back of my enjoyment of this raceDate of review: October 9, 2012
In short: Lots of friendly marshalls, excellent organisation, a lovely local run.Date of review: October 7, 2012
In short: Fast, Flat, Well organised 10k - Great t-shirtIn full: My second year at this event and a new and improved course makes this a great local 10k road race.Excellent organisation and marshalling throughout. Much of the route is free from traffic and the results are issued fairly quickly after the race despite the fact that there isn't chip timing. An excellent technical t-shirt this year is a vast improvement from last years cotton effort and is probably worth the entry fee alone. Good work from Shelton Striders - I look forward to signing up again next year. Date of review: October 7, 2012

Smartphones are becoming more popular than laptops. This explosion of growth has already made mobile applications into a hit product category, but this wave is just beginning. Custom apps are moving into the enterprise for jobs like electronic medical records, point of sale, on-site service, industrial automation, and inventory tracking.
Hello Syncpoint
Syncpoint provides high level APIs for user and device management for multi-device synchronizing applications using Apache CouchDB. It provides a distributed API so that clients can ask the server to provision channels, and have a database created in the cloud. It also handles new user signup and mobile device pairing, and even works with CouchDB web user signup, if you want to provision databases for your web users.
Syncpoint API is a Node.js app driven by CouchDB's continuous _changes API. Syncpoint interacts with remote clients via CouchSync replication, so application functionality is fast and robust even when the device is offline. For more information on installation, usage, and contributing, see the README and the open source project.
If you like pictures, here's an architecture intro to how you might structure an app with Syncpoint.
If you just want to jump in:
- Install Apache CouchDB 1.2
- Install node.js >= 0.6.0
- Run these commands:
mkdir syncpoint && cd syncpoint npm install syncpoint npm start syncpoint
Technical background for contributors and users
Syncpoint is responsible for provisioning and linking new databases between client devices and the cloud CouchDB installation. This means that sync functionality doesn't require the Syncpoint process to be up. Any user signup or channel provisioning requests started when Syncpoint isn't running will be safely spooled in CouchDB and handled on next Syncpoint launch.
Syncpoint API drivers work by listening for document updates in CouchDB. Developers can register listeners for document types, so any additional functionality is just a JavaScript module that binds to the control channel. All of Syncpoint API is implemented in that way, so code examples are easy to find. (Look in the `lib` and `plugins` directories).
We need your feedback and contributions, they will play a huge role in the direction of the project, so please let us know if you are experimenting with Syncpoint.

The Harlem Children's Zone, which offers everything from prenatal classes, preschool, charter academies and help with college applications, has been "a wild success," writes Amanda Erickson in The Atlantic. Why hasn't it been replicated?
In 2009, every third grader at the HCZ's Promise Academy tested at or above their grade level in math, outperforming their peers in the city and throughout the state. Over 84 percent of Promise Academy II students scored at or above grade level in city-mandated English tests, topping the average test scores among all other black students in New York City. And in 2008, 93 percent of Promise Academy High ninth graders passed the statewide Algebra Regents exam.
President Obama pledged to spend billions to create "promise neighborhoods," asked Congress for $210 million and ended up spending $40 million. Instead, he's spent billions on direct aid to the poor and working poor.
Cities aren't moving ahead without federal funds, writes Erickson. The Harlem Children's Zone had Geoffrey Canada's leadership, a board of very wealthy philanthropists and strong support from Mayor Bloomberg and Schools Chancellor Joel Klein. That's hard to replicate.
A blogger explains why Durham has struggled to create a children's zone, and notes the Brookings Institution bdoubts that HCZ is cost effective.

The world tells husbands, "Don't let anyone tell you what to do. Be a macho man. Grab the gusto. Live for the moment." The Bible's message to husbands is exactly the opposite—"Crucify yourself." Here's how Paul put it in Ephesians 5:25, "Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself up for her." That raises a question: Even a great Christian husband, on his best day, can't match Christ's loving sacrifice for the church. What does Paul expect?
Paul did not have in mind an overpowering feeling of romance or an undying physical attraction. Emotion and attraction fluctuate and fade, sometimes quickly. But the world believes the love is over when the feeling stops, which leads to an immoral practice of serial monogamy. But biblical love is far beyond anything the world has known, and that's the kind of love Paul was talking about. As John MacArthur explains, here's how husbands are to love their wives . . .

This is truly convicting. I'm not a married man yet but, being in a relationship, the Bible clearly teaches us men to devote ourselves completely to our companions and serving them as Christ served the Church. Men, we must retake the Biblical manly role of servitude and leadership, and not of dominion and violence.

Thanks to Dr. John MacArthur for always giving us the balanced view from Scripture, not only on this particular subject, but on all doctrinal matters.

Eliezer, may God give you the lady of your heart's desire--you would make her life so joy-filled. I hope you are discipling young men.....
God keep you and grow you.
Let us be constant in prayer for all of the young men and women longing to walk according to their Master's design for marriage, that the image of Christ be formed in them--to their everlasting and supreme joy.
A man can cry. Jesus cried when His friend "Lazarus" died. I mean't
the world wants a man to not follow the Word of God.
OH, back to the blog. Yes, It's a great thing to know. Like a husband
must help his wife and children through sickness, health, and death.
With Jesus, a husband is strong, faithful, climbs back up when he falls, forgiving, kind, loving, respects and honorable. One more,
patience too.
The world's idea of love really isn't love at all. The world's concept is based on superficial, self-serving ideas that are the antithesis of Christ's example. My father was not a Christian and yet when I was a young man he said to me something that I've found fits well with my faith. He told me that when the day would come and I got married I should focus my energies on serving my wife and our relationship, expect nothing in return except her faithfulness to the marriage, and be thankful when I got more than that. He had a very selfless attitude about his relationship with my mother and their marriage lasted until she died 56 1/2 years after they married. That role model along with learning from God's Word through personal study and great and faithful men like Dr. McArthur has caused me to be blessed with a wife and marriage that I could never have dreamed of.
This is truly the word of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Its very real for me!!!!
OH GOD!! Please fill me with your word each day that I may LOVE my wife as you say in your word.
Keep going John!!
A difficult test of a husband's sacrificing for his wife is when she's sometimes more like the church at Corinth or Laodecia. A husband will struggle greatly in laying down his life for his wife if he gets distracted from being filled with the Spirit. The Church in this world struggles with the world, the flesh, and the devil. Marriages will struggle with the same. The husband is in need of the whole armour of God, for the flesh is weak but the Spirit is willing.
Let us pray for one another
John, not sure if time allows you to read the comments posted but I hope these words are encouraging to the GTY family. 15 years ago i was introduced to you through GTY tape ministry, which brought us out of a false doctrine. Our marriage was in shambles, to the point of separation. God miraculously changed our lives on all points and continues to do so by his Grace and Mercy.
The command "To love your wife as Christ so loved the church" is one of the most rewarding and fulfilling scripture in a marriage covenant.
Thank you for being faithful to our lord in teaching the Truth of the Gospel.
Loving my wife, to the best of my ability, has been very rewarding for me. I don't do it, for gain, I do it for Jesus. I desire to follow this command, and don't view it as a suggestion. Seeing my wife happy, brings me great joy. It is like watching a flower grow, and bloom, and the blossom never dies. Her smile warms my heart, and her laughter is music to my ears. God gave her to me for a while, and I am so thankful. She is the gift that keeps on giving.
I find that when I put her needs before my own, and take up His cross, and follow Him, out of love for Him, everything falls into place. Even though we have had many trials, we have a house of peace, because of the Prince of peace is our example to follow.
Pastor John, I have listened to you for many years. I never grow tired of your teachings. The Lord has used you to help this stubborn Jew know Jesus as my Lord, and enabled me to become a better man and husband. I have still much to learn. May God bless you, beyond measure, for your faithfulness.

Counting our blessings today
Almost always, it sometimes seems, we Americans find ourselves striving to overcome some sort of challenge. Too often it is war, bringing with it terrible loss and heartache. Sometimes it is social change. On a fairly regular basis, it is the scourge of setbacks in our economy.
It certainly is true that millions of our fellow Americans suffer in varying degrees during times of trouble. But today, Thanksgiving Day, we pause to remind ourselves of the wonderful bounty that has been granted us as a nation – as well as the vast majority of us as residents of it.
President Abraham Lincoln's 1863 proclamation established the first Thanksgiving observed throughout the United States. In that document, issued during the very darkest days of our existence as a nation, Lincoln reminded his fellow Americans of our many blessings. And, he noted, "these bounties … are so constantly enjoyed that we are prone to forget the source from which they come."
Lincoln could not possibly have foreseen what the nation he saved would become. He could not have imagined the technology we take for granted. He did, however, anticipate an ever-increasing quality of life for all people, with Americans in the lead.
That has come to pass. Even the poorest of Americans are more secure in life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness than billions of our neighbors elsewhere in the world. Most of us, in fact, enjoy trappings of life that would be considered luxuries in many other countries.
But our material well-being is far from the only blessing bestowed upon us.
We Americans are dedicated to a way of governance that, for all its flaws, stresses individual liberty and the rule of law. We settle our differences at the ballot box.
And while we often disagree about political, economic and social issues, we are reminded in times of need, including disaster, that those with whom we have disputes today rush to help us when the chips are down. That is simply who we Americans are.
We do indeed take all this for granted, as Lincoln understood. And that sometimes jeopardizes our well-being and our security.
But he was right. It behooves us to remember that we may indeed have built this nation – but that the foundation was laid by God, the grantor of all blessings.
So today, we celebrate and we give thanks, from our hearts.
Happy Thanksgiving.

Exploring polka roots in New Ulm
NEW ULM An impromptu 10-person polka band of regional performers was pulled together for a special Monday performance at the B&L Bar for a professor of ethnic music history and his pupil for their research into the roots of New Ulm's concertina and polka music history.
The band, which was organized by local historian Denny Warta for the event, performed on tuba, banjo and concertina to a crowd of more than 30 people who enjoyed singing along in the parts of the songs.
The group played songs ranging from "Essig Polka" to "Alte Alte Waltz." Many of the performers played without music sheets, keeping in time with all the other performers based solely on memory.
Approximately three years ago, Dr. Rudolf Pietsch, who teaches in Austria at the renowned University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna, was documenting the history of folk and polka music that immigrated to the United States form Europe when he first learned of New Ulm. He was told he needed to visit the town if he wanted to truly understand the history of polka in America.
He returned this week to continue his research, accompanying his student and friend Marie Tress Stickler. She is focusing her master's thesis on the history of polka in New Ulm, as well as the folk music in the Midwest.
Pietsch will depart today to return to Austria. Stickler will remain in town for a month to do research.
The music in New Ulm is much more pronounced and intimately connected to the town's history than most places she has encountered, Stickler said.
Her research will focus on listening and recording the different music by players in the region, then doing a follow-up interview with the performers on their approach. She said New Ulm is musically exciting to her because the unique ways its music changed and developed in town based on the people that played it. She said that makes it the only kind of its particular strand of polka music in the world.
Stickler said she would also like to see if she can determine why so many renowned and award winning musicians have been spawned out of New Ulm and the surrounding region.
When asked what she wants to accomplish with her thesis, she said she hopes to make people back in Europe aware of the "unique treasure" of distinct folk music alive in New Ulm. She plans to send a copy of her thesis, which will be accompanied by some video, back to New Ulm when she completes it.

Visit here was time well spent
To the editor:
I am glad it is close, "it" being going home. This has been by far the most successful writing time I have ever experienced. I hope I find a way to keep it going when I re-enter the world, leaving this expanse of granite water, which I grant it, is a muse of the first nomenclature, to return to the trees of Southern Indiana which do a little musing of their own.
I read the Daily Mining Gazette for Wednesday, June 26 front to back, and you'll be pleased to know that the paper was a good read.
The Opinion Page caught my attention almost as much as Arlo and Janis and both caught it for the same reason, they were hilarious.
June 26th was my wife's birthday. Furthermore, the cartoon on the OP was drawn by a cartoonist at the Indianapolis Star, so it seems the stars were aligned for this Hoosier to read this edition of this paper, having read no other in the month I have enjoyed the extraordinary Keweenaw Peninsula.
Thomas Sowell's column is aptly named. His thoughts, thankfully, are from the passing scene, and the world will be better when they become the scene of the past.
The "scene," is Sowell's ignorance of the world in which most human beings live, as well as the rest of life on this planet. Ignorance becomes stupidity when willfully chosen. Ignorance is curable, stupidity shows little sign of being so.
The best cure for ignorance is sight, and if Sowell cannot see the reality of climate change, or hear the voices of the overwhelming majority of scientists in the world, he's gone bind and deaf.
If he cannot smell the rot of the passing scene of greed exhibited by the unprecedented inequality in America, he needs to blow his nose.
Perhaps he suffers from chronic cranial colonitis, so-named for the position of the head.
Contrary to the cartoon, the next generation is awake, and growing aware, all around the world, which gives hope to this grandpa. Cyberia rocks, as does Dreamland. Rabbit Bay is wonderful. Keweenaw people are friendly. I hope to come back, but it's good I fell out of love with guns thirty years ago, because if I had had a gun, I would have shot too many holes in the cabin (camp) trying to bag the limit on mosquitos.

Built for Business Network Solutions
A Better Network Means Better Business
The AT&T Network
With over 100 million wireless subscribers in service, AT&T is committed to creating the world's most advanced mobile Internet experience. The AT&T nationwide 4G network brings faster speeds to more people. With the introduction of 4G LTE, AT&T offers two layers of network technology that deliver 4G speeds for smartphone customers: LTE and HSPA+. Why does that matter? You can enjoy fast 4G speeds on both the HSPA+ network and on the LTE network, where available. This means a smoother, more consistent experience overall.
Our network is built on the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) standard—the world's most popular wireless phone technology.
GSM can provide:
- Global compatibility and more international roaming potential
- Ease of integration with emerging new standards like LTE
Network Evolution
- HSPA+ enables 4G speeds up to 4x faster than 3G. Deployed to virtually 100% of the AT&T nationwide 4G network, HSPA+ enables 4G speeds when combined with enhanced backhaul. This means you can access 4G speeds on the latest devices, tablets, and smartphones almost anywhere, so you can do more of the things you love faster, in more places. And we're rapidly expanding enhanced backhaul to cell sites throughout the country, adding new cell sites weekly.
- LTE supports boosted speed and performance in more places. Our LTE reaches nearly 280 million people, and we'll continue to expand it to deliver a smoother, more consistent mobile Internet experience.
While our 4G (HSPA+) network is faster than 3G speeds, 4G LTE enables you to stream video, download apps, send and receive email, and more, even faster.
Explore the Possibilities
Business couldn't be better on the AT&T 4G network. You can:
- Download and transfer files and presentations faster than ever before
- Manage multiple email accounts without a hitch
- Quickly launch websites and utilize multiple tabs smoothly
- Upload and watch smooth streaming videos
- Run multiple mobile apps and share data with co-workers and customers
Wi-Fi—Another Option for Wireless Users
AT&T operates the nation's largest Wi-Fi network, including AT&T Wi-Fi Hot Spots at popular restaurants, hotels, bookstores, and retailers.** We also provide access to hundreds of thousands of hotspots globally through roaming agreements.*** Additional data charges may apply.
Enhanced Security and Connectivity Options
Whether wireless or wired, network security is a primary concern for businesses. Increasingly sophisticated security threats make implementing superior wireless security even more of a necessity. Network-to-network connectivity provides performance, security features, and reliability necessary to enable wireless apps. AT&T provides a range of connectivity options and can assist in designing an end-to-end security solution. For more information, visit: http://developer.att.com.
Speed and uninterrupted use of the service are not guaranteed. Coverage is not available everywhere—visit the AT&T coverage viewer for details. Service defaults to national EDGE/GPRS network, where available, if AT&T mobile Internet network is not available.
*Limited 4G LTE availability in select markets. LTE is a trademark of ETSI. AT&T's 4G LTE Reliability claim based on analysis of data network connection and data transaction success rates reported by Nielsen during network tests conducted across 225 markets from Nov 2012 to Nov 2013, and compares carriers with nationwide 4G LTE networks.
**Largest Wi-Fi network based on branded and operated hotspots. Wi-Fi enabled device required.
***Customers have access to over 400,000 locations around the world through roaming agreements. Includes AT&T Wi-Fi Basic. Wi-Fi enabled device required. Other restrictions apply. See the AT&T Wi-Fi Hot Spot locations map for details and locations.
