The Speaker Peter Milliken
I have the honour to lay upon the table the report of the Privacy Commissioner concerning the implementation of the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act for 2008.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(3)(h), this document is deemed to have been permanently referred to the Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics.

Ottawa West—Nepean
John Baird Minister of Transport
Mr. Speaker, Canada's economic action plan is getting results. It is stimulating the economy. It is protecting and creating jobs. In just over 100 days, we are already seeing progress as our government continues to implement Canada's economic action plan.
Because of our swift actions, 90% of the plan is already being implemented. Funds are being committed to 7,500 projects, and 4,000 projects have already begun in the first six months of our 24-month plan.
Other measures of Canada's economic action plan that have already been implemented include reducing the tax burden on Canadian families and businesses through such measures as the home renovation tax credit and the first-time home buyers' tax credit; assisting the unemployed by extending EI benefits, making it easier to qualify for EI, and expanding EI training programs; investing in the economy of the future by upgrading infrastructure; expanding graduate student internships and investing in green technologies.
Our efforts are having a real and positive effect. We are seeing stabilization and the early beginnings of a recovery. This recovery is fragile. We are not out of the woods yet, which is why it is crucial that we continue to implement our plan. Canada came into this recession on a strong footing with a strong, solid, long-term fiscal position. We paid down debt, allowing our government to introduce the largest stimulus package of all the G7 countries.
Our taxes are falling, making Canada a more attractive place to live, invest and do business. Thanks to our tax relief measures, tax freedom day now arrives 20 days earlier than it did when we took office. The world is noticing. Under the leadership of our Prime Minister and our Minister of Finance, Canada's economy has been the envy of the world.
Euromoney magazine heralded the member for Whitby—Oshawa as their finance minister of the year, saying that we have been lucky to have him to enhance our "reputation for sound fiscal policy that takes full account of social justice" and keep "the financial sector out of the chaos".

John McCallum Markham—Unionville, ON
Mr. Speaker, I am not quite sure what to make of all that. It was filled with the usual Conservative rhetoric that makes no sense to anyone outside the Conservative caucus.
The minister started by saying in just over 100 days we are seeing progress. What does that mean exactly? The budget was tabled 252 days ago. It is 208 days since the budget passed. So what does the minister mean when he says something like in just over 100 days we are seeing progress?
The truth is it does not mean anything at all, and neither did that speech. It may not have technically been a thinly veiled government ad for the Conservative Party, but it was a profound waste of the time of the House which the transport minister used to pat the finance minister on the back. If the finance minister wants a pat, here is a brief account of his record as finance minister.
The finance minister swung into his seat at the finance department and the very first thing he did was to raise income tax at the lowest bracket, ensuring he hurt vulnerable Canadians the most.
The finance minister broke his party's promise not to tax income trusts by increasing taxes on them a whopping 31% and destroying the life savings of hundreds of thousands of Canadians.
The finance minister tried to hobble the ability of Canadian companies to compete in the world with an insane interest deductibility policy that was so bad he had to withdraw it and two years later abandon it.
The finance minister has booked EI premium increases over the next five years that will pluck $13 billion from the pockets of small businesses and workers.
The finance minister inherited a $13 billion Liberal surplus in February 2006 and had made it into a deficit by 2008-09. He was still pretending to run a surplus 10 months ago. He acknowledged a $30 billion deficit nine months ago, a $50 billion deficit last spring, and a $56 billion deficit last month.
I would like to congratulate the finance minister on his Euromoney award, but I would also urge him to stop taking up the House's time with self-promotional ministerial statements.

Jean-Yves Laforest Saint-Maurice—Champlain, QC
Mr. Speaker, the Conservative government's third progress report is nothing but smoke and mirrors. The government is boasting that 90% of the funds promised have been committed, but it is impossible for us to find out exactly what is happening on the ground. The government's progress report provides no clarification about who might benefit from extended employment insurance benefits. They are just trying to avoid making it obvious that the measure was intended specifically for Ontario and western Canada. They do not care about Quebec workers.
The Canadian government could have followed the Obama administration's example; it has made detailed information available to all citizens about exactly what funds have been spent and which initiatives have been put forward as part of the American economic recovery plan. Instead of giving us a credible report, the Conservative government chose to produce this propagandist update trumpeting the government's achievements as the basis its $30 million-plus ad campaign paid for out the public purse.
The report does clarify two things. First, it reminds us that the government's action plan was clearly devised to help Ontario and its auto sector, not to do anything about the forestry crisis that has been hurting Quebec for years. The recent announcement that AbitibiBowater's Beaupré mill was closing its doors for an indefinite period of time was a reminder that Quebec's forestry sector is going through a serious crisis. In its progress report, the Conservative government responded by giving the Ontario auto industry $9.7 billion and the crisis-ridden forestry industry just $57 million. Furthermore, it confirms the federal government's strategy of chipping away at the deficit at the expense of unemployed workers by once again pillaging the employment insurance fund and cutting off Quebec's lifeblood, just like their Liberal predecessors did.
The Bloc Québécois did give the government realistic, costed suggestions to promote recovery, deal with the deficit, and give the privileged few who benefit from the Liberal-Conservative system what they deserve. It is time for the government to shrug off its ideological straitjacket and start working on the solutions proposed by the Bloc Québécois to ensure that the Quebec nation can make a strong recovery from the economic crisis and that middle-class, working Quebeckers do not have to pay the price for the government's lack of vision when it comes to fighting the deficit.
The Economy
Routine Proceedings

Thomas Mulcair Outremont, QC
Mr. Speaker, two things are missing from the statement of the Minister of Finance, made by his amanuensis, the Minister of Transport. They are a recognition of the fact that the problems began in Canada before the current international crisis and, more importantly, a vision for the future. I will start with the first one.
When the Conservative government slashed corporate taxes, it had the support of the Liberals, who felt the government was not moving fast enough. The government reduced these taxes by $60 billion. How did the Conservatives find the tax room to do that? The answer is simple. They took the $57 billion in the employment insurance fund and put it in the general revenue fund.
Some people will say that this was government money anyway, but the problem is that the money in the employment insurance account was put there by employees first and foremost, and also by employers. Whether a forestry company turned a profit, broke even or lost money, it was obliged to pay EI premiums for every one of its employees.
Because this money was used to create tax room to give tax breaks to the wealthiest companies—a company did not pay tax if it had not made any money, so the only companies that got tax breaks were the wealthiest ones like the banks and the oil companies—forestry and manufacturing companies in Quebec wound up subsidizing big oil and the chartered banks, which had no need for such subsidies.
What is more, the government has absolutely no vision. The Conservatives talk about jobs, but what is their vision of the future of sustainable development and our responsibility for future generations? The oil sands are just one example of the Conservative government's failure to understand that every time they take action in Parliament, they must look at how it will affect future generations economically, socially and environmentally.
Instead of posing with future generations, for once the Conservatives should try taking action to help future generations by creating the jobs of tomorrow and having a vision for clean, renewable energies throughout this extraordinary country. Not only will they create wealth, but people will have sustainable jobs in an economy that respects the rights of future generations to have the same standard of living, the same quality of life and the same living environment as we do.
Canada Labour Code
Routine Proceedings
October 6th, 2009 / 10:10 a.m.
Thomas Mulcair Outremont, QC
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-455, An Act to amend the Canada Labour Code (French language).
Mr. Speaker, it is truly an honour for me to introduce a bill today that will ensure the application of the provisions of the Charter of the French Language in businesses under federal jurisdiction, whether they be chartered banks, interprovincial transportation companies or telecommunications companies. The Charter provisions give rights to workers, for example, to receive documents in their own language, and prevents an employer from requiring knowledge of a language other than French if it is not required to do the job.
There has been a controversy in recent years over whether or not to change the Official Languages Act. We are not changing the act. Instead of making ambulatory references to the Charter, we took all the provisions of the Charter of the French Language and incorporated them into the Canada Labour Code. We believe that this is a real, concrete recognition of the Quebec nation, without changing the Official Languages Act. Everyone wins here, because it does not take anything away from the English-speaking linguistic minority in Quebec.

Mr. Speaker, I have the honour to table two petitions, one signed by the people of Sainte-Félicité, in the riding of Haute-Gaspésie —La Mitis—Matane—Matapédia, and one from the people of Saint-Léon-le-Grand, also in the riding of Haute-Gaspésie —La Mitis—Matane—Matapédia.
These citizens want Canada Post to keep post offices open in all rural communities, including in their own communities.

Tony Martin Sault Ste. Marie, ON
Mr. Speaker, I have the pleasure this morning of presenting a petition on behalf of 53 signatories from across Canada from places like Ottawa; New Westminster and Surrey, British Columbia; Kitchener; Orillia; Toronto; Saskatoon; and other communities across Canada. The petitioners are very concerned about the plight of the poor in this country and those who are both out of work and continue to have work but who are working for minimum wage or at part-time jobs, and are not able to put enough money on the table to pay for their rent and cover food and clothing for themselves and their children.
They are also concerned about the inequality that is beginning to arise, particularly in terms of exclusion. The fact that so many people now cannot participate in their communities in the way that they used to because of this very debilitating reality in their life of poverty. I present this to the House for its consideration this morning.

I wish to inform the House that because of the ministerial statement, government orders will be extended by 11 minutes.
The House resumed from October 2 consideration of the motion that Bill C-51, An Act to implement certain provisions of the budget tabled in Parliament on January 27, 2009 and to implement other measures, be read the second time and referred to a committee.
Economic Recovery Act (stimulus)
Government Orders
10:15 a.m.
Jean-Yves Laforest Saint-Maurice—Champlain, QC
Mr. Speaker, among other things, Bill C-51 implements the home renovation tax credit. This measure was inspired by the proposals made in both the Bloc Québécois recovery plans, presented last fall and the previous April. This bill also introduces a first time homebuyers' tax credit. This measure was also inspired by the Bloc's last platform. Bill C-51 will also implement Canada's international commitments to the International Monetary Fund, which were signed in 2008. It will also amend the Canada Pension Plan, from which Quebec is excluded. The amendments are based on an agreement with the provinces involved. Quebec is not involved, but if there is an agreement, we respect that.
Bill C-51 will implement the findings of a joint expert panel including representatives of Nova Scotia, the federal government and others to resolve a dispute. Once again, Quebec is not involved in that litigation, but if there is an agreement, I do not see why we would not support it.
For all of these reasons, and especially for the home renovation tax credit and the first time homebuyers' tax credit, the Bloc Québécois is in favour of this bill.
Coming back to the home renovation tax credit, in April 2008, when the Bloc Québécois was presenting the initial phase of its economic recovery plan, we proposed introducing a home renovation tax credit with a very specific objective: to encourage people to convert their old oil furnaces to more energy efficient models. At that time, we argued that such a measure would help reduce our dependence on oil. This would have the added and equally important effect of rapidly injecting money into the economy.
This measure has been introduced by the Conservatives and we know that their primary focus was not necessarily on reducing greenhouse gases nor on energy efficient retrofits. Nonetheless, we maintain that this would be a way to stimulate the economy and we are in favour of this measure. We proposed it, we had a debate on it and we made our arguments. Today, our proposal is before us. It has been accepted by the government and we are indeed in favour of it; we would be hard pressed not to be. Even though it is not exactly what we had in mind, many people will benefit from the energy efficient retrofits. What is more, in the past few weeks, since the Bloc Québécois announced it was in favour of this measure, people have realized that we were the ones who proposed this measure and we are the ones who got it. Many people are congratulating us for convincing the government to introduce such a measure in its budget.
Even though this is not only or specifically about energy efficient retrofit measures, several areas are eligible for this tax credit, window products in particular. We know that one way to improve energy efficiency is to replace windows, doors and skylights. In a number of different ridings in Quebec, most MPs have heard many people and many window and door companies say that the tax credit associated with this measure has helped stimulate the home renovation sector.
Many people decided to do it because their heating oil costs were so high. As everyone knows, neither the Conservatives nor the Liberals have ever been particularly eager to clamp down on the oil companies, so big oil raises the prices whenever it feels like it. If people have a chance to reduce their oil heating costs by replacing their windows and get a tax credit to boot, they will do home renovations. That makes this measure a very attractive one.
We know that it will also reduce household energy consumption, which will directly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. These emissions make a significant contribution to undesirable climate change.
Buying better-quality windows and doors will make up for some of the negative effects of oil heating. When people use good products in renovations, they can reduce their heating oil consumption by between 7% and 12%. Renovations also minimize drafts, cut down on interior condensation and so on. They also reduce noise transference. We hear so much about air pollution, but there is also noise pollution. People living in urban centres and near highways experience significant stress due to noise and they will also benefit from this measure, which can cut down on noise pollution.
We also know that Quebec is a very large part of Canada and has an abundance of fresh water. When you have an abundance of a given resource, including water in the case of Quebec, you tend to take it for granted. In most homes in Quebec, you just have to open the tap and water flows freely in every room where it is needed, in the laundry room or in the washroom. Water is not free, especially hot water. Improving the insulation in a house with new doors and windows and other renovations can often cut the cost of heating water by 15%. These are significant measures and important to most Quebec households.
This tax credit also makes it possible to renovate the plumbing in a home. Shower heads can be changed to save water. It is a renewable resource but there are limits. We must conserve the hot water used for a normal family's household needs.
We are very supportive of such measures because they contribute globally to energy conservation and the reduction of pollution. It is a very interesting measure that has been put forward.
I would also like to talk about the first time homebuyers' tax credit. In its 2008 election platform, the Bloc Québécois proposed putting in place a homebuyers' program. Many Quebec families find it difficult to buy their first house. It is extremely important for the government to help families, including middle-income families, to purchase their first home. Buying a home is often the most important investment of one's life. Families often need a helping hand at the start.
Because there is a similar measure in this bill, we will support it once again.
We had some mixed feelings, because the Conservatives' measure is much less generous than what we proposed. But it is a step in the right direction, and it shows some understanding of the very solid arguments made by the various Bloc Québécois members. We think this is a step in the right direction, and that the government seems to have understood that it is necessary to support first time homebuyers.
This is a major investment for many families, and buying a home is an important step for many households in Quebec and Canada. They are able to build equity. As I said, this is the primary investment for many families, and it is very often the biggest investment a family will make in their lifetime. It is very necessary and important to support families in this step and to help them benefit from capital gains.
In recent years, the capital appreciation of real estate and the increase in home values has made home ownership appealing. Quebec is a little behind Canada in regards to home ownership and the desire of some families to purchase a home. So this is a very appealing measure for Quebec.
It is often very difficult for these families to build capital. The government is proposing an interest-free loan up to $10,000. This makes it much more appealing for new and young families to purchase a first home.
This, in essence, is why the Bloc Québécois supports Bill C-51, and why we will vote in favour of it.
Economic Recovery Act (stimulus)
Government Orders
10:30 a.m.
Ted Menzies Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Finance
Mr. Speaker, I guess I was expecting comments but I think everybody was pleasantly surprised that my hon. colleague, who shares a seat at the finance committee, has decided to support Bill C-51. I would encourage, under his leadership, all members of the opposition to do as he has suggested because that was another wise decision from that member.
I am pleased to have the opportunity to address the House today in support of the economic recovery act, a key piece of legislation that would enact essential portions of Canada's economic action plan, along with other important initiatives.
The economic recovery act is part of our Conservative government's comprehensive response to the global economic crisis that has impacted nearly every country in the world since it began a little over a year ago, a downturn whose underlying triggers did not originate in Canada and, as such, cannot be solely resolved in Canada.
I underline for the opposition, seemingly determined to finger out government for the economic ills of the global marketplace, that this was and remains a global recession, one largely originating from the United States. This is not a made in Canada recession.
As a BBC report noted:
...the world economy crashed. The [American] sub-prime crisis lit a fuse that went from California or Southern Florida via New York to Iceland, Hungary and Japan.
The virus spread through the intricate arteries of the world's financial bloodstream.
While conceding this has been a global recession, we all recognize its epicentre is and continues to be our neighbour to the south, our largest trading partner, the United States.
Even as the green shoots of recovery begin their slow ascent in that country and around the world, the enormity of the great recession continues to ravage the American economy. Last week we learned that over a quarter million Americans lost their jobs in September. Unemployment is nearing double digits there. These are stunning numbers. They are sad reminders of the nearly 8 million men and women who have seen their jobs vanish since the start of this great American downturn.
As President Barack Obama noted, the U.S. September job report was:
...a "sobering reminder" that "progress comes in fits and starts and that we're going to need to grind out this recovery step by step.
He went on to say that it "will not happen overnight".
Budget implementation act 2 is an important part of this step for Canadians.
As I alluded to earlier, green shoots are appearing in the American economy. In the Canadian economy and those around the word, recovery is on the horizon.
This global recovery has largely been driven by the injection of fiscal stimulus by governments, stimulus unprecedented for both its sheer magnitude and for its coordinated global scale. However, this is a recovery that remains as fragile, as it is tentative. Governments must stay the course. Their focus must not waver from the economy. As the G7 finance ministers and central bank governors noted in a communiqué following their meeting in Istanbul, Turkey, this weekend:
In recent months, we have started to see signs of a global economic recovery and continued improvement in financial market conditions. However, there is no room for complacency since the prospects for growth remain fragile and labor market conditions are not yet improving. We will keep in place our support measures until recovery is assured.
We cannot become complacent and we cannot allow a recovery to be jeopardized with some opportunistic political games here at home, political games like those that the Liberal leader has shamefully engaged in over the past few weeks. Maybe the Liberal leader has not noticed that rising unemployment continues to be a challenge around the world. Maybe he has not noticed that all governments around the world made the decision to run deficits to fight the recession and fight unemployment.
Our Conservative government, too, has made the decision to fight the recession and has done so through Canada's economic action plan. While this meant we made the difficult decision to run a multi-year deficit, it was the right decision, right for our economy and right for Canadians, for Canada's economic action plan is working.
Our economic action plan is helping to create and maintain jobs. It is extending benefits to the unemployed. It is helping those who need retraining and helping those individuals and industries undergoing a transformation, such as the auto and forestry sectors and so many others.
While our plan is achieving results, the job is not done. We need to stay on track. We need to provide the stability needed to secure recovery. Stability is not achieved by throwing Canada back into an unnecessary election but by following through on our plan and keeping our focus on the economy. That is exactly what we are doing with the ambitious economic recovery act.
Through the economic recovery act, we are cutting taxes for individuals and businesses by implementing the temporary home renovation tax credit and the first time homebuyers tax credit. We are fighting protectionism by relaxing tariffs on shipping containers. We are strengthening the Canada pension plan by allowing increased flexibility in how Canadians live, work and retire, as unanimously recommended by federal, provincial and territorial governments last May.
We are promoting global growth and cooperation by giving small and low income countries a bigger voice at the IMF, and strengthening our commitment to debt relief. We are ensuring dependability for public broadcasting by increasing the CBC's borrowing authority.
Additionally, to ensure that Canadian taxpayers can better keep track of the spending of their tax dollars, we are improving government transparency and accountability by requiring all federal departments and crown corporations to prepare and publish quarterly financial reports.
The economic recovery act also concludes the crown share saga for the people of Nova Scotia after decades of neglect from previous Liberal governments. As former Nova Scotia premier, John Buchanan, declared, "What happened then with the federal Liberal government under Jean Chrétien, they just refused to talk about the Crown share. They would not talk about it all".
In contrast, not only have we talked about the crown share with Nova Scotia, our Conservative government worked in conjunction with the province to resolve the issue.
Despite all this, the Liberal leader and his party vowed, essentially sight unseen, to oppose all these measures and vote against the economic recovery act. Why? To be blunt, to end Canada's economic recovery appears to be secondary to his obsession with forcing an election. The Liberal rallying cry is simply corrosive to Canada, "No matter what this Conservative government proposes, no matter who it benefits, it must be stopped, it must be defeated."
Canadians deserve better than that. Canadians deserve elected representatives willing to work together during this global recession, willing to do what is best for the Canadian economy not merely for the Liberal Party of Canada.
I would ask the Liberal leader to stop playing games, stop the obsession and scheming to force an unnecessary election. Sadly, I have no confidence he will listen for he has not even listened to his own Liberal caucus on that matter.
Liberals, like the member for York West who, in early September, pleaded with her leader to drop his maddening election obsession, telling the Globe and Mail that this was not the time for an election and that instead Parliament should "try to do the right thing for Canadians overall. We're in a difficult time. We want to focus on employment and getting people back to work and all of that".
The Liberal leader has ignored the Liberal member for York West and likely a great deal of his own Liberal caucus to continue with a single-minded obsession to force an election at all costs.
As the Liberal leader continues his quest to force an unnecessary election, he continues to attack our Conservative government's economic management and initiatives such as this economic recovery act. He also continues to gleefully denigrate and talk down our Canadian economy.
This is how he slammed Canada's economy in a speech this past September proudly posted on the Liberal website for the online world to see. He smeared Canada and said that Canada had "the worst performing economy in the G7". He then lectured by saying that "We've got to make Canada a world leader again, and we've got to do it now".
Not only are comments like those at the height of self-serving political arrogance, but they are factually wrong and do a disservice to the tireless work and sacrifices of the men and women who have made Canada's economy what it is today.
That is something all Canadians should be proud of, and they should be cheered regardless of partisan affiliation.
I am going to take a moment now to speak not to the present but to the future, and to set the historical record straight, to speak to the readers of this edition of Hansard, the Canadian Parliament's most enduring tradition in a time far removed from today, be it 25, 50 or 100 years from now.
Even though we were in the midst of what has been labelled the great recession of this time, this was an especially proud moment to be a Canadian for one reason. Due to the inherent sense of humility in the Canadian character we downplayed that reason. Canada's economy and financial system during this challenging time was among the strongest and the most envied in the world. From Ireland, to France, to the United States, the Canadian model was the model that all others sought to replicate.
However, do not take my words as proof. Listen to what the world was saying about Canada, our country. Listen to how Ireland's largest daily newspaper, The Irish Times, praised our financial regulatory framework:
...Canada has attracted more attention recently as a paradigm for creating and regulating a banking system that has been stable, and even profitable, through the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression...Canada's reputation for fiscal conservatism may have been boring during the boom times, but being boring has left the country's banking system in a rare position of strength in the financial world.
Listen to the French finance minister, Christine Lagarde, who after a meeting of the world's top finance ministers remarked:
I think...we can be inspired by...the Canadian situation. There were some people who said, "I want to be Canadian".
Listen to what the Institute of International Finance and the world association of banks proclaimed about this country:
Canada is in a position today to punch above [its] weight. Why? Because [it has] come through this better than virtually any other financial system in a mature market, so [it] must be doing something right... [Canada] is viewed in many quarters as having incredible financial and of course political leadership, but also is somewhat of an honest broker.
World Bank president Robert Zoellick described our country this way:
Canada's experience offers lessons to others, especially its strong financial and regulatory environment that is helping it manage the shocks of the downturn.
He also went on to declare that by global standards, Canada' position was enviable:
I think a lot of people would like to change places with Canada.
The President of the United States, Barack Obama, said:
...in the midst of this enormous economic crisis, I think Canada has shown itself to be a pretty good manager of the financial system in the economy in ways that we haven't always been here in the United States. And I think that's important for us to take note of.
Or finally, the IMF, as reported in the Globe and Mail forecasted that:
Canada is on track to lead the world's wealthiest countries out of recession next year, a testament to sound economic policy...reinforc[ing that the] Prime Minister...and the Finance minister['s] policies have helped the Canadian economy weather the financial crisis better than most.
To the future I say with pride that this is how our country was viewed at this moment in time. I would also say that our Conservative government was not merely content to rest on its laurels. That is why we brought forward important legislation in the economic recovery act to help lay the ground work for a stronger economy as we fought off this great recession and built a more prosperous Canada for generations to come for all Canadians.
Speaking to the present, I ask for the support of the House, for members to do the right thing in the interests of what is their country. We share in it across the aisle, and Canadians at home trust us to act in their best interests.
Pass this budget implementation act to help keep Canada strong and keep this beautiful country the envy of the world well into the future.

Jodi! It is so great to see your projects! I am a big fan of both of these blocks; but I am especially 'crazy' for the double hourglass. I loved the inner border... the little squares/blocks. It really makes the whole quilt pop!
Inspirational as always! have a great week!
Your Candadian Fan - Darlene
uh... that is 'your Canadian' fan...
Both are fabulous quilts! On the funky pinwheel, I like the secondary pattern that is very subtle...the white backgrounds form another sort of pinwheel, with the sashing and posts in them. Hmmm...might be fun to explore making a "new" block like that!
Both are beautiful.This week I made the hourglass block and yes,alison tutorial is easy to follow.

Fairbanks is undergoing an international invasion—of a good sort. Almost 2,000 athletes ages 13-23, from eight Arctic nation teams (nine, if you include the Alaska kids) have arrived to participate in the Arctic Winter Games 2014. Think Olympics (on a smaller scale), to compete in games with others from across the circumpolar north.
What caught my attention was how the international participants got to Fairbanks. Not exactly general aviation—but by a series of charter flights from all over the Arctic. The aircraft are one or another model of the Boeing 737, with a couple Airbus 320 or 330's thrown in for good measure. After studying the planned schedules, I decided to try and figure out where these planes were coming from, so turned to Google Earth, and below is my best approximation of where the flights came from, and roughly how they got to Fairbanks International Airport.
For the past three days, these aircraft have converged on Fairbanks to bring the participants together for a week-long set of games, ranging from snowshoe based biathlon's, skiing, and dog mushing to indoor events like curling, soccer and traditional native games. Much more than an athletic event, Arctic Winter Games has brought people across the arctic together since 1970, when the first games were held in Yellowknife. A total of 500 people participated in that event, which included athletes, coaches and supporters.
Fairbanks will see another flurry of air traffic on March 21, when the return migration occurs. Airplane watchers will have an opportunity to see aircraft with paint jobs seldom seen in these parts (Air Greenland, Flair Air, Air Yamal, etc.) as they arrive to take the AWG participants home. Hopefully taking with them new insights and inspiration after a week of rubbing shoulders with people from other circumpolar countries!

Mike Fitzpatrick on Free Trade
Former Republican Representative (PA-8, 2005-2007)
[Explanatory note from Wikipedia.com "Exchange Rate"]:
Between 1994 and 2005, the Chinese yuan renminbi was pegged to the US dollar at RMB 8.28 to $1. Countries may gain an advantage in international trade if they manipulate the value of their currency by artificially keeping its value low. It is argued that China has succeeded in doing this over a long period of time. However, a 2005 appreciation of the Yuan by 22% was followed by a 39% increase in Chinese imports to the US. In 2010, other nations, including Japan & Brazil, attempted to devalue their currency in the hopes of subsidizing cheap exports and bolstering their ailing economies. A low exchange rate lowers the price of a country's goods for consumers in other countries but raises the price of imported goods for consumers in the manipulating country.
Congressional Summary:Sugar Reform Act:
Proponent's argument for bill:(Senators' opinions reported on politico.com) "We subsidize a handful of wealthy sugar growers at the expense of everybody in America," said Sen. Patrick Toomey (R-Pa.), whose home state boasts the chocolate giant, Hershey's. Sen. Heidi Heitkamp (D-N.D.), warned her colleagues against unraveling the commodity coalition behind the farm bill: "We forget that this is much bigger than a sugar program. It's much bigger than any one single commodity. When you single out one commodity, you threaten the effectiveness of the overall farm bill."
Opponent's argument against bill:(Food and Business News, May 2013): Users claim the sugar program nearly doubles the price of sugar to US consumers and has resulted in lost jobs as some candy manufacturers have moved operations to other countries. Producers claim the program has resulted in more stable sugar supplies, provides a safety net for growers and that world prices are often lower because of subsidies in origin countries, which would put US growers at a disadvantage should import restrictions be lifted. Producers also note that US sugar prices have declined more than 50% from late 2011 highs. They also maintain that jobs have been lost or moved out of the US for reasons other than sugar prices, mainly labor and health care costs, noting that candy makers' profits have been strong in recent years.
Congressional Summary:Amends the Tariff Act of 1930 to include a countervailing duty or antidumping duty on merchandise imported into the US from foreign countries with fundamentally undervalued currency.
Opponent's argument against bill: (by the Club for Growth)We urge all House members to not co-sponsor the protectionist Currency Reform for Fair Trade Act. This proposal would make it easier for the federal government to slap

Just freaking brutal what that freak with the massive sized head did to his eye last night. Pretty much said he's done in the post fight interview. Was crazy to see the freak bowing to him after the match like he was some kinfd of God like the Ewoks did to C3PO in Return of the Jedi.
Showtime can't be happy. Bad news for the ratings for the rest of this 8 man heavyweight tourney they put together. And kills the dream matchup of Fedor vs the winner of Overeem/Werdum.

I couldn't tell you as the C-Town on 1st Ave. & E. 89th St. is the only one I know. (If you find the Buffalo Mozzarella in another C-Town, let me know.) Anyway, it's in the back, just to the left of the homemade cow's milk mozzarella.You also can get buffalo mozzarella (and La Valle DOP tomatoes) at Todaro Brothers (http://www.todarobros.com), at 555 Second Ave. (near 32nd or 33rd St.)
I may have to amend my earlier remark. Just went to C-Town today; no bBuffalo milk mozzarella. Hopefully, they intend to continue to carry it and just sold out and will be ordering more.

I'm with Steve-o on this one. George occasionally wrote some fantastic songs, but he's nowhere near as prolific as Macca or John. The point about the 1972-1980 drought is excellent. I'm sure (and it's been revealed) that many of the songs on ATMP had been collecting for a number of years. He had some great songs in the coming years, but nothing really major until Cloud 9. (Which followed another fairly lengthy absense from recording) It just took George longer to gather descent material. Not that he couldn't do it - he certainly had some great moments. He just wasn't as prolific.
I do hate comparing artists that I like because they each have something different and unique to offer. But as far as consistency is concerned, Macca has George beat by a mile. I still love to listen to George's work, however. [:)]

Dining Hall Staff Honored with "Moment of Appreciation"
When PTS's cafeteria workers entered the Main Lounge for

Rockwell Collins AIM System Gets First Aircraft Installation
The Rockwell Collins Ascend Aircraft Information Manager (AIM) system, recently certified for the Cessna Citation XLS+, has been installed on its first aircraft. AIM is a secure data transfer system for Pro Line Fusion, Pro Line 21 and Pro Line 4-equipped aircraft.
(Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion on the Citation XLS. Photo, courtesy of Cessna.)
Duncan Aviation completed the first installation of AIM on an XLS+ operated by Michigan-based supplier of aviation fuel and services, Avfuel Corp. The system provides flight critical updates for flight management system (FMS) navigation data, electronic charts, terrain and surface management databases, depending on the avionics generation.
"AIM brings a level of convenience that is unprecedented in the business aviation industry and maximum security from cyber threats due to its robust design," said Steve Timm, vice president and general manager, flight information solutions for Rockwell Collins.
The AIM system is part of Rockwell Collins' Ascend Flight Information Solutions, which allows business jet operators to control flight operations system schedule, international trip support and flight watch dedicated meteorologist services from a single source.

Dayan Viciedo would be the leading candidate to take over for Konerko at first base, while Tyler Flowers would take over for Pierzynski.
… "Look at the infield with Morel, Ramirez and Beckham, and … if you had to go with Viciedo, who is just a tick behind. He could use work in his discipline, but we all see the type of player he can be and the impact he can have," Williams said. "With Tyler Flowers figuring out some of the mechanical things and us not knowing about A.J., that's a defensive unit out there that has offensive capabilities."

Winter 2001
Volume 5 Number 2
by Barbara A. Chaapel
Singing these words of a hymn written by PTS alumnus and trustee Fred R. Anderson and set to music by John Weaver, the Princeton Seminary community rededicated Miller Chapel in a moving service on October 9. Other than for the opening convocation of the academic year in September, when the still unfinished building was the site of worship, the dedication service marked the first time the Seminary community had gathered in its historic sanctuary for more than a year.
Board of Trustees chair Robert Adams preached a sermon titled "Holy Places," recalling the sacred history of the chapel that has graced the Seminary campus and been its spiritual center since 1834. Renovated no fewer than four times (in 1874, 1933, 1964, and 2000), Miller Chapel today welcomes worshippers to a larger, light-filled sanctuary with a central pulpit and communion table and with astonishing acoustics for its new organ and grand piano.
President Gillespie brought greetings to the Seminary community, invited guests, and visitors, with warm thanks to the many donors (alumni/ae, trustees, faculty and staff, friends, foundations, corporations, and churches) who made the buildings a reality. As of December 31, 2000, $7,125,200.04 had been received to support Miller and Scheide. The project, as is true with many renovation and construction projects, exceeded its original budget by more than twenty percent.
"I am pleased how well the renovation retrieves the original 'one-room' meetinghouse, while preserving intact the marvelous detailing, Corinthian columns, and Greek Revival fixtures of the 1933 alterations," says James F. Kay, professor of homiletics and chair of the renovation committee. "To see the sturdy, elevated pulpit and the substantial Lord's Table centered together in the midst of the congregation clearly communicates the centrality of Word and Sacrament for Christian worship."
Seminary archivist William Harris agrees with the high praise for the renovation. "The chapel renovation has surpassed all my expectations," he extols. "The original beauty of the place has been enhanced handsomely by the use of rich, lively color and the introduction of period chandeliers. The place is literally radiant both by night and by day with a warm, inviting, and even numinous light. One feels drawn here for personal meditation as well as for public worship."
Coming from a historian, that is high acclaim indeed. Harris has studied the earlier incarnations of the building and knows that architects, builders, and planners alike worked hard to preserve the vision of its original architect, Charles Steadman. Like the original building, the chapel today unites celebrants, choir, and congregation, emphasizes the centrality of the preached word with the central pulpit, and places the communion table at the same level as the congregation.

So ladies if you have kinky curls don't be shy to let them roam wildly and freely.

Over the past year and a half, the Department of Homeland Security has reportedly ordered well over one billion bullets, some reports put the number as high as 2 billion. Although most of the ammunition DHS ordered was 5.56 and .40 caliber hollow points, this unusual purchase has put pressure on manufactures to fulfill the Government's purchases while maintaining an adequate supply of ammo for the general public. And let's not forget about the 17 million new weapons that were purchased last year. The public needs bullets to practice and train, while DHS needs billions of rounds for who knows what (I'm afraid to ask). Bottom line, the ammunition manufacturers cannot meet the increased demand.
If you are an avid shooter or are simply interested in storing enough rounds to be prepared if SHTF, then you are very disappointed with the bare ammo shelves that have become common place in America. I've heard of individuals who have purchased new AR-15s in the past year, but have not been able to shoot their new toys because ammunition is so scarce. Don't tell anyone that I told you this; but I think that may have been the strategy behind the billion plus rounds ordered. Some people say the .22LR is nearly impossible to find these days, and the likely reason is because that caliber is considered the "Doomsday Round". That's primarily because you can carry hundreds of rounds with little effort and its blast won't send shockwaves around the state when fired at small game. This is very important if you wish to maintain a reasonable level of stealth in a Doomsday situation, because loud noises will be invitations to the hordes of Zombies (unprepared masses) in your immediate area.
Now for the good news:
If you know where to look, you can actually find reasonably priced ammo on a fairly regular basis. Yes, I'm talking about 5.56, .223, 9mm, .45 ACP, .40 SW, and even the highly elusive .22LR (and more). I am in the process of writing a whitepaper that will give you step-by-step details on acquiring ammo. If you would like to be notified when the document is published, simply subscribe to this website (upper right form) and check your email daily.
In the spirit of full disclosure, I must inform you that I will be charging a nominal fee to anyone who wants a copy of the whitepaper. Why am I charging a small fee? Because most people will want it for free, and therefore, will refuse to spend a couple dollars to get the information. Those will be the individuals who have to continue dry shooting their guns, while you will have access to this valuable information and not have to compete with the penny pinchers for an ever decreasing supply of ammunition. In other words, less for them means more for you.
So don't wait – SUBSCRIBE NOW!

iHerb Customer Reviews
Savings of: $1.44 (4% off)
Used to think these were overpriced until I tried another brand
Posted by RMSF-Survivor on Mar 22, 2016
The other brand was rated 4.7 stars out of 9 reviews here, so I thought I would give it a shot. It was so bad it quickly brought all of my symptoms back that it was relieving within days, and I am so glad I had made sure I had some of these extra lying around to take while I wait on another order from iHerb. I have tried another brand of Cordyceps that worked really well, and it actually cured nerve damage in my neck and shoulder and more years ago. It's even more expensive than Dragon Herbs, and quite potent, but still not as good as the Cordyceps from Dragon Herbs. I am taking them now to deal with some symptoms from Lyme disease and other co-infections, and if it helps with that it will help most anything. Cordyceps mushrooms can do some pretty amazing things, and these are so potent I don't even need to take the maximum dose with these like I have to with every other brand.
Posted by Reviewer1902681 on Oct 04, 2011
I love Ron Teeguarden's stuff, everything I have taken from Dragonherbs has been of wonderful quality. I particularly recommend his Duanwood reishi extract in combo with Cordyceps. Coryceps gives you such energy, such clarity :)
Posted by Scottishdave on Dec 01, 2013
The most powerful cordyceps I have experience. 6 capsules a day is too strong for me.
Posted by 4685375285003645141 on Jun 21, 2013
I used only one of these and it seemed to give me tons of energy. I would be careful and start out with just one capsule in the morning for sure. Any later and you might be not be able to get to sleep. I think this herb does what it's purported to do.

Cocoanuts is now playing in the Bowmer Theatre at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland Oregon through November 2nd 2014.
Mark Bedard who is again absolutely brilliant, as the zany, crazy Groucho Marx.
Cocoanuts is a jazz age gem and a wildly funny romp full of sun, sand, superb fun and shtick. Groucho as Mr Hammer, the owner of a failing hotel in Florida the "Cocoanuts Beach Hotel".
Groucho tries to peddle some worthless real estate in a get-rich-quick scheme by taking advantage of one his guests in the hotel a wealthy society widow Mrs. Potter, superbly played by K.T Vogt….. comic mayhem and uproarious fun ensue as Groucho tries to relieve Mrs. Potter of her money.
At one point there is a land auction in which the audience is invited to bid, the evening we saw the play, the audience went crazy and bid millions of dollars in ever increasing excitement.
Of course there are Groucho's more than willing sidekicks.. Zeppo ( who is the hotel clerk ) deftly played by Eduardo Placer and Chico and Harpo played hilariously by John Tufts and Brent Hinkley.
This is musical comedy at it's best with wonderful songs and lyrics by Irving Berlin, including "Always" and "Lucky Boy".
Cocoanuts is a madcap musical full of mayhem, mischievousness,silliness and spontaneous improvisations, anything can happen, and it usually does, no two performances are alike.The audience is definitely part of the whole experience. The cast are having a great time, always looking for the next ad lib. It's a sheer joy… you come away from the theatre, singing the songs and chuckling to yourself for days afterwards!

Black and white
The Webster City Chamber of Commerce will reign in the new year at their annual gala meeting on Jan. 28 at 6 p.m. in St. Thomas Aquinas Parish Center.
Since the formation of the chamber, their bylaws call for an annual meeting near the start of the new year. At the gala meeting, outgoing chamber president Carrie Fitzgerald and incoming chamber president Jeanne Hill will review 2012 and preview the new year over dinner.
Fitzgerald said the dinner will include many items. Those include roast pork, beef pot roast, a number of sides and desserts. Beer and wine will also be available. The theme of "It's as Simple as Black and White" asks attendees to dress for that color scheme.
Motivational speaker Deadra Stanton will attend the gala, and present her program, "Don't Shoot Skinny Rabbits." Fitzgerald said Stanton owns a company called Creative Communications and was an english teacher in the Mason City area for 35 years.
"She's a great speaker," Fitzgerald said. "She has a humorous, upbeat presentation and talks about not sweating the small stuff to get motivated for 2013."
200 mystery box prizes will be available at the gala. Fitzgerald said the neatly wrapped boxes contain numbers that correspond with prizes on a prize table at the event. She said the mystery boxes offered a more interesting way to hold a raffle.
Sponsors for the event include Van Diest Supply Company, The Executive Inn, Black Hills Energy and Iowa Central Community College.
More information on the gala meeting can be found by visiting the Chamber of Commerce, or by calling 832-2564.

The offense is undergoing a substantial transition into 2011 with assistant head coach/offensive line coach Tom Cable and offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell now jointly running the show. With the input of Pete Carroll, the Seahawks are focused on creating a power running game and a dynamic, ball-control offense.
To this point, the potential changes on the offensive line and at quarterback have garnered the majority of outside attention; less focus has been pointed towards the offensive "skill positions"—running back, fullback, H-back, tight end and receiver (this article will not be including the quarterback). This group is one of the team's youngest and most competitive groups.
The changes start with Cable's attitude, experience and expertise as a run game coordinator and head coach. Bevell is more even keeled and balanced, experienced as a former college quarterback at Wisconsin and a career offensive position coach/coordinator.
Given both the changes to the coaching staff and the group Seattle has headed into camp at these positions, with free agency to come, let's focus on four major questions surrounding the skill positions heading into the 2011 season.

Ernst Krenek
Sechs Motetten nach Worten von Franz Kafka; Choral Works
RIAS Kammerchor; Hans-Christopher Rademann
Harmonia Mundi CD 902049
Ernst Krenek's Lamentations of Jeremiah is a work that I admire a great deal. A pivotal 12-tone composition, it proved greatly influential to a number of American composers and, reputedly, Igor Stravinsky. Indeed, Krenek is one of the first to discuss the use of a rotation as a serial permutation; a technique that would prove valuable to Stravinsky during his own late spate of 12-tone works.
The recording of Krenek's Lamentations by RIAS Kammerchor (also on HM) was widely acclaimed as a near-flawless rendition of this famously challenging, dissonantly thorny a cappella work. Sechs Motetten is a worthy follow-up to the previous disc. It includes a wide range of Krenek's shorter choral pieces, ranging in date of composition from 1923 to 1959. There is a disjunct, angular quality to the Kafka settings that seems to resonate well with the author's legendarily terse and often tart prose. The RIAS singers perform with superlative control; one is particularly taken with the nuanced renderings of detailed dynamic shifts and articulations. Both sopranos and tenors negotiate an often high-lying tessitura with nary a flinch.
The CD also includes an arrangement of Baroque composer Claudio Monteverdi's Lamento della Ninfa; it isn't realized with a particularly informed sense of period practice, but retains Monteverdi's nimble rhythms and canny word inflections. Also winning is the Op. 132 Kantate von der Vergänglichkeit des Irdischen. It pits twelve-tone writing against free harmonic progressions, both post-tonal and pantonal, as well as effects: frequent glissandi and passages of sprechstimme. Caroline Stein performs the virtuosic soprano solo with dazzling runs and warm tone; pianist Philip Mayers is equally impressive in his own limpid filigrees. Five Prayers (Op. 97) demonstrates Krenek's talent for finely knit contrapuntal writing. A bit less forbidding in harmonic language, the Prayers demonstrate a sumptuousness that is almost startling when heard in such close proximity to the Kafka Motetten. Thus, the disc provides an overall impression of the composer as he should rightly be remembered: as an adroit creator in a wide range of compositional styles.
