Oral Questions
2:50 p.m.
Don Bell North Vancouver, BC
Mr. Speaker, last Wednesday the House approved my private member's motion, Motion No. 426, calling on the government to establish a Canadian policy on rare diseases. I have since received dozens of emails and letters of support from families whose lives are affected by a rare disease asking how this important issue that affects an estimated 2.5 million Canadians will finally be proceeded with.
How does the Minister of Health plan to move forward on Motion No. 426 and what will the next steps of the government be toward a rare disease policy?
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Parry Sound—Muskoka
Tony Clement Minister of Health and Minister for the Federal Economic Development Initiative for Northern Ontario
First, Mr. Speaker, let me congratulate both sides of the House for supporting the hon. member's motion and coming to an agreement on this important issue.
I am disappointed that the Bloc members did not support this motion.
As the motion suggested, it is important to bring all of our partners on side. This includes the provinces and the territories and, indeed, we will be engaging with them to see if we can get further toward a solution on this very important issue.
This motion was a very important first step and we will move forward.
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Barry Devolin Haliburton—Kawartha Lakes—Brock, ON
Mr. Speaker, for the past few days Canadians, along with the rest of the world, have watched with great concern as the irresponsible actions of Hezbollah threaten to plunge Lebanon into deeper chaos. At least 36 people have died and hundreds have been injured. There is still fighting in the north of the country.
Can the Minister of Foreign Affairs tell the House the government's response to what is taking place in Lebanon?
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Maxime Bernier Minister of Foreign Affairs
Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question.
In regard to what is currently going on in Lebanon, we would like to tell my colleague and the Canadian people that we support Mr. Siniora's government and that we want peace and security to return to Lebanon. We strongly condemn Hezbollah's irresponsible actions. We will continue to provide the necessary support to Canadians in Lebanon to ensure their safety.
Oral Questions
May 12th, 2008 / 2:55 p.m.
Alexa McDonough Halifax, NS
Mr. Speaker, Canada's follow-through on Burma's humanitarian crisis is pitiful. Australia's Prime Minister Rudd has committed 10 times Canada's pledge and is personally lobbying world leaders. British Prime Minister Brown is pressing for action at the highest UN levels. New Zealand's Prime Minister Clark is appealing to Southeast Asian countries to step up their efforts.
Has our Prime Minister contacted Singapore's Lee Hsien Loong directly in his capacity as chairman of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations?
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Maxime Bernier Minister of Foreign Affairs
Mr. Speaker, this morning I personally contacted China's foreign affairs minister. Last week, I had a telephone conversation with the UN Secretary General to pledge humanitarian aid from Canada for Burma, and to urge him to do what he can to help Canada get this aid into the country to the people who need it most. I also believe, and this is important, that the situation should be examined and discussed by the United Nations Security Council to ensure that humanitarian aid can enter the country. That is an important part of the debate.
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Alexa McDonough Halifax, NS
Mr. Speaker, the Burmese crisis is deepening. Projections estimate 200,000 may die, many more if aid delivery is not accelerated. A DART unit of 200 will be too few too late. Thousands of Canadian NGO personnel are already on the front lines in Burma and in the region ready to deliver, and they lack financial and diplomatic support from Canada.
Why is the government focusing on deploying DART instead of financially supporting NGOs already delivering aid, with the capacity and the knowledge to do the job in Burma?
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Bev Oda Minister of International Cooperation
Mr. Speaker, in fact, that is what we are doing. We are investigating every possible avenue to get the aid and supplies to the people of Burma directly. We are working with NGOs on the ground. I released $500,000 for shelters to the Red Cross that are being delivered to Burma.
It is incumbent that we ensure that Canadian support directly helps the people in Burma and is not diverted to other uses.
Anti-Money Laundering Regulations
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
John McKay Scarborough—Guildwood, ON
Mr. Speaker, the proposed anti-money laundering regulations affecting the real estate industry are set for June 23 with some potentially disastrous consequences.
Industry has always been supportive of efforts to monitor and report suspicious illegal activity, but huge loopholes are in the legislation. It appears that no one, including anyone in the government, is prepared to proceed on the June deadline.
Will the government delay the enforcement of the regulations, begin a campaign to educate the public and facilitate adjustment by the industry?
Anti-Money Laundering Regulations
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Jim Flaherty Minister of Finance
The regulations, Mr. Speaker, against money laundering are of great importance to the integrity of the financial system in Canada, the integrity of the financial system in the G-7 and in fact around the world; there are serious issues with respect to terrorist financing and with respect to money laundering around the world. That is why through FINTRAC we have taken certain steps. These steps are resisted by the lawyers. They are resisted by the realtors. They are resisted by various participants in our economy, but they are essential if Canada is going to play its role in combating terrorist financing--

Polar Bears
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Chris Warkentin Peace River, AB
Mr. Speaker, last week the Minister of the Environment held bilateral meetings with the United States Secretary of the Interior, Dirk Kempthorne. I understand that they discussed a number of important cross-border issues, including the protection of one of Canada's icons, the majestic polar bear.
I am wondering if the Minister of the Environment can update the House on the progress and the details of that meeting.
Polar Bears
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Ottawa West—Nepean
John Baird Minister of the Environment
Mr. Speaker, protecting the iconic polar bear is a concern for our government because Canada is home to two-thirds of the world's polar bear population. We will not wait to act. Last week Environment Canada agreed to work with the U.S. Department of the Interior to protect the future of the polar bear. I am pleased to note that last week's meeting ended with a signed commitment between our two countries to work toward the long term protection of Canada's polar bears. I was pleased to include the Inuit leader, Mary Simon, in these discussions, because we have a great deal to learn from Inuit traditional knowledge and from their firsthand experience.
We are committed to protecting the polar bear.
Oil Imbalance
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Louise Thibault Rimouski-Neigette—Témiscouata—Les Basques, QC
Mr. Speaker, regional economies are being hard hit by the rising dollar and higher gas prices, which are reducing export opportunities and increasing transportation and operating costs. People are paying for this economic imbalance.
The government has provided massive funding for oil sands development through the petroleum incentives program and has once again reduced taxes for the oil companies, which are making huge profits. However, it is refusing to take equity measures, saying that market forces will sort things out.
When will the regions affected by this oil imbalance get a fair shake?
Oil Imbalance
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Calgary Centre-North
Jim Prentice Minister of Industry
Mr. Speaker, our government has created more than 300,000 new jobs in Canada in the past 12 months. Industry in Quebec is very robust. We have listened to the manufacturing sector, the aerospace sector, the pharmaceutical sector and the rest and have gotten results.

Don't get much better than this one. Bradley 26-0, Alexander 21-0 ... both coming off 3-4 impressive wins over legit foes. Two likable, extremely well conditioned, outstanding fighters. A clash of the titans at 140, a division loaded with names like Khan, Maidana, and Ortiz. With Pac Man and Floyd just a weight class up.
Winner of this almost assuredly fights Khan or becomes Pacquiao's next foe after he takes Grampa Mosely apart at the seams.
Such a hard fight to handicap. Just got a gut feeling Alexander finds a way to pull this out.

Morici: Despite Headwinds, Modest Jobs Growth Expected
Friday, forecasters expect the Labor Department to report the economy added 171,000 jobs in February, and for unemployment to remain unacceptably high for several more years.
In the fourth quarter, GDP was up a scant 0.1% annual pace, slowed by a drop in inventory build and smaller Pentagon purchases. However, those factors are not likely to repeat in the first quarter data, and the effects of sequestration will not likely be felt until spring.
Consumers have been constrained by higher gas prices and the January tax increases but overall, economists expect GDP growth to be in the range of 2% or a bit higher in the first quarter.
Still, the pace of recovery remains disappointing, in part, because Dodd-Frank regulations make mortgages, refinancing, and home improvement loans much more difficult to obtain. Those hold down existing homes sales, renovations and demand for building materials, major appliances and other durable goods.
Other factors contributing to the slow pace of recovery include the huge trade deficits with China and other Asian exporters of manufactures and on oil. Absent U.S. policies to confront Asian governments about their purposefully undervalued currencies, and to develop more oil in the eastern Gulf, off the Atlantic and Pacific Coasts, and in Alaska, the trade deficit and its drain on growth will worsen.
The recent surge in natural gas production, and accompanying lower prices, has the potential to substantially improve the international competitiveness of industries like petrochemicals, fertilizers, plastics, and primary metals -- as well as consuming industries like industrial machinery and building materials. However, the Department of Energy is considering proposals to boost exports of liquefied gas -- a costly and environmentally risky process. That would reduce the trade deficit and boost growth less, and create many fewer jobs, than keeping the gas in the U.S. for use by energy-intensive industries.
Overall businesses remain somewhat pessimistic and tentative about adding capacity and hiring workers in the U.S. Instead, they look to Asia where government policies are more accommodating and prospects for growth remain stronger.
The economy must add more than 360,000 jobs each month for three years to lower unemployment to 6% and that is not likely with current policies. That would require growth in the range of 4% to 5%. Without better trade, energy and regulatory policies, and lower health care costs and taxes on small businesses, that is simply not going to happen.
Most analysts see the unemployment rate for January fall a notch to 7.8%, but the wild card remains the number of adults actually working or seeking jobs -- the measure of the labor force used to calculate the unemployment rate.

Last year PEPFAR and UNAIDS joined with other partners to launch the Global Plan, an initiative to eliminate new HIV infections among children and keep their mothers alive. Last week I was proud to take part in a two-day mission to Nigeria with Michel Sidibe, UNAIDS Executive Director. (As I described in this post last week, our visit was interrupted by the tragic bombings.)
Each year, nearly 400,000 children are born with HIV globally, and prevention of mother to child transmission (PMTCT) is a particular challenge in sub-Saharan Africa, an area characterized by weak health systems. Incredibly, Nigeria alone bears about one-third of the global burden of new HIV infections among children. It is thus one of 22 priority countries of the Global Plan, which collectively account for nearly 90 percent of all new HIV infections among children annually. The Plan's central goal is to reduce the number of new pediatric infections in these countries by 90 percent.
We know what to do to prevent vertical transmission -- the science is long-established, and many countries (including Botswana) have achieved virtual elimination. PMTCT is a top priority for PEPFAR, and in 2011 alone, we supported programs that tested nearly 10 million pregnant women. Of these, more than 660,000 pregnant women were found to be living with HIV, and antiretrovirals (ARVs) for these women allowed more than 200,000 infants to be born HIV-free. These are the highest PMTCT results of any year in PEPFAR's eight-year history.
During our mission, we met with Nigeria's First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, who personally leads the country's PMTCT strategy. We also met with the Nigerian Minister of Health and Governors and Health Commissioners from PMTCT focus states, who play key roles in expanding PMTCT services in the country. We also had dialogue with Nigerian business, faith-based, and community leaders about the critical contributions they can make to achieving the elimination goal. Throughout these interactions, we focused on the main barriers to PMTCT progress at both the national level and in priority states, and began to identify the most effective strategies to address these challenges collectively. We also discussed Nigeria's plans to optimize and increase all available resources in the country, in order to achieve a generation born HIV-free.
As we have learned from the 30-year history and struggle of AIDS, extraordinary things happen when we work together. By uniting around our common humanity in a spirit of shared responsibility, we can give a chance at a full life to children and mothers around the world. Preventing new HIV infections in children is a smart investment that saves lives, and the United States is proud to partner with Nigeria and other countries in this cause.
Anthony Ekene O. in Nigeria writes:
It was very heart-warming reading this.This is not unconnected with the fact I currently work as a drug dispenser(under the National Youth Service Corps) in a Health Centre in rural Benue State,Nigeria.This health centre has a weekly PMTCT clinic and attendance rates are quite high.However,It is clear to see that there are constraints which I have tried to resolve here:
1.Drugs for Opportunistic Infections.Fine,The ARVs come free but what about the other drugs?I know that some of the co-ordinating NGOs have an agreement with the clinics to reimburse the latter for the OI drugs they dispense.Nevertheless,the health facility most times have no stock and worse still the patients have no money to buy them in the medicine stores.
Suggested Solution: As the ARVs are provided gratis,lets also have drugs for oppportunistic ingections provided free.It is true to say that there is a strong possibity of diversion and arbitrage but these can be kept in check through routine audit checks.
2. Distance to Clinics and Economic Implications. Many of the women who attend these clinics are rural farmers and the time spent at the clinics is a big worry for them.Some of them comes as far as 30km and have to spend quite a lot interms of time and money in the course of attennding the clinic and they do complain pathetically about this.
Suggested Solution: How about engaging the community health workers to visit clinic defaulters and those who live faraway at home if its okay with them.This wiil really help.
Alongside these,there is need for a lot more aggressive advocacy to reach people in the very hinter rural areas.Many women e.g in Logo Local Government Area of Benue have not been reached and would transmit the infection to their babies when born if they do not start attending the clinic.
In conclusion, much more HIV advocacy needs to be done in high burden states like Benue.This will enhance PMTCT success and also prevent lateral transmission.

How to make Posole
Posted by Administrator on 1/24/2011 to
So this weekend I had a 2 lb pork tenderloin staring at me from the fridge. I was having some friends over for dinner and it had started to really cool off in the early afternoon. So I decided to make Posole out of it. I was feeling a bit lazy so about 70% of the ingredients are not in the pictures. This great soup is easy to make and super delicious.

The fact that it doesn't need sharpening and maintains a pointed tip is always a plus, and the smooth, no-tug application is how a pencil should be. From that description you might expect a better rating, but this pencil's rich colors remain slightly creamy after application, which encourages smearing, creasing, and fading. They work better if set with a coordinating shade of powder eyeshadow—but then why not just use the powder to line your eyes in the first place? This pencil is retractable.

Comments about N.Y.C. (New York Color) Automatic Eyeliner:
For the price, it's good. Highly pigmented, goes on smoothly, soft enough to blend easily. But compared to pricier liners, it is simply not resilient enough. Fades and runs easily, particularly if used on the lower lids.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

N.Y.C. At-A-Glance
Strengths: Inexpensive; the mineral makeup holds its own against more expensive competitors; good finds for powders, eyeshadows, and lip glosses; several outstanding best buys, including lipstick, mascara, pressed powder, and brow pencil; most products are packaged so you can easily see the color.
Weaknesses: Some really inferior products; the makeup brushes really disappoint; the lip-plumping gloss is filled to the brim with potent irritants; limited options for foundation and concealer; several average pencils.
The N.Y.C. (New York Color) brand clearly wants to align itself with all of the excitement and pulsating action of the Big Apple—think Sex and the City or any of the notable fashion magazines whose home is in the heart of Manhattan. It would have been a clever marketing maneuver if New York Color had delivered, but despite a few stellar products, the line overall is comparatively tame and relatively ordinary. Sexy product names and beguiling makeup descriptions don't equal great makeup. Forget Sex and the City, this is more like a new Woody Allen film—a few surprises, but predictably familiar in the end.
The most appealing part of this line is rock-bottom prices; everything is less than $10, and several items are less than $3 (but that's still not as rock bottom at E.L.F., where $1 per item is standard). Although this isn't the cream of the crop for makeup, there are more than enough inexpensive okay options to make it worthwhile for you to check if it's being sold at your local drugstore. Just keep in mind that not everything N.Y.C. offers is "prestige quality" or the least bit fashion-forward. Put another way: New Yorkers are a notoriously tough group to please, and as a whole N.Y.C. doesn't do enough to make an on-the-go city girl slow down and see what she's missing. In fact, shopping this line without some advance information may lead to resounding disappointments, and that's never the goal. On the flipside, knowing what to zero in on will not only save you money, but also connect you with a product that stands a very good chance of leaving you wondering why anyone would pay more.
You're most likely to find N.Y.C. at Target and Rite Aid. Regrettably, testers are not available, but both of the aforementioned retailers have a good return policy if you save your receipt.

He is especially keen on Bayesian inference approaches to the difficult inverse problems that keep popping up in these areas. In many cases, exact solutions to these problems are intractable, and as such he is interested in examining whether Monte Carlo (sampling-based) approximations are applicable in those cases.

Advanced Micro Devices plans to introduce a number of potentially popular microprocessors on the 21st of September, 2010, source familiar with AMD's plans revealed Wednesday. The firm will introduce a new member of its six-core chips family as well as its fastest quad-core central processing unit (CPU) ever.
It is quite noteworthy that AMD decided to perform a major update of the microprocessor lineup in late September, in the last days of the third quarter. Perhaps, the company feels that its present lineup is enough competitive for both back-to-school season as well as to ensure high revenue in the third quarter.
The two key processors set to be announced are AMD Phenom II X6 1075T (3.0GHz/3.50GHz TurboCore with 9MB of cache) and AMD Phenom II X4 970 Black Edition (3.50GHz, 8MB of cache). The first will cost in the range between $230 - $240 and will broaden the line of code-named Thuban microprocessors, whereas the second will be AMD's fastest quad-core microprocessor with the price tag that is likely to be below $200.
Considering the fact that TurboCore clock-speed of the six-core model 1075T will be 3.50GHz, the difference in price between it and the quad-core Phenom II X4 970 BE should be considerable as the chips have equal performance in applications that require up to four threads (in order to avoid internal competition between six-core and quad-core products).
The world's second largest supplier of central processing units will also introduce dual-core AMD Phenom II X2 560 (3.30GHz, 7MB cache) as well as quad-core AMD Athlon II X4 645 (3.1GHz, 2MB L2 cache) microprocessors that will cost around ~$100 and will be aimed at advanced systems in budget.
AMD did not comment on the news-story.

text: Corinne Henning Named MIAC Women's Hockey Athlete Of WeekCorinne Henning's persistence continues to be rewarded. Henning scored her first two goals of the season last weekend as Hamline's women's hockey team swept Marian, 3-2, and 1-0 in overtime at Warner Coliseum. She led her team with 13 shots on goal and was a +3 for the two games. The result of that effort produced more than two wins. It also earned her the honor of being named the MIAC's Women's Hockey Athlete Of The Week. The St. Paul, Minn. sophomore joined the hockey team after playing last fall for the successful Piper soccer team. She quickly adjusted to her hockey legs and was in good form all weekend. On Friday night, Hamline trailed 2-0 in the third period ignited a comeback with a goal. She assisted on the winning goal later in that frame. On Saturday, her eighth shot on goal for the game was the only one to find the back of the net. It produced the victory that gave Hamline its first women's hockey sweep in three years. Henning now leads the team with two goals and three assists. Hamline is 3-6-1 overall. Their next game is January 6 at St. Norbert's.

You're Special _______
The great thing about the David Tutera Celebrate Cardmaking system is it's versatility. Basicall you can swap ideas that you see here with any of the sentiments OR just make a "You're Special" card and keep it on hand for any occasion that arises.
Designer Margie Higuchi created this example for us today.
Here are a few tips:
1.) Use the die cut shapes on the Step Two layers to match and place your sentiment.
2.) Mix and match the Step 3 pearls from other packs. These pink pearls are found in the Butterfly 2 Shapes & Cupcake Shapes both of which were not used on this card.
3.) Use a SQUARE cardbase! EEEEK! These are so great and not that hard to do. See how Margie used the Step 2 A2 layer and then balanced it with the Border Strips? Brilliant and EASY!
Have a beautiful day!

Lyon County Board approves tax abatement request for housing business
MARSHALL – Members of the Lyon County Board lent their support, in the form of a tax abatement, to a modular housing business looking at moving to Cottonwood. At their regular meeting Tuesday, county commissioners approved a request for a three-year tax abatement for the business, pending approval by the Lyon County attorney.
C. David Hoefer of Goshen, Ind., presented commissioners with the abatement request. Hoefer said the modular home business, which as of yet does not have a legal name, is looking at moving into the former Hydroswing property in Cottonwood. Hoefer said the business was seeking a tax abatement during a period of planned growth. Hoefer said that plan included bringing about 40 production jobs to Cottonwood, increasing over the next five years.
The housing produced by the business would be constructed from structural insulated panels, Hoefer said. The panels are made from a core of rigid foam sheathed in layers of plywood. Houses or light commercial buildings made with the panels are water-resistant and can stand up to a direct wind moving at 200 miles per hour, he said.
"Our goal is to do it better than stick-built," Hoefer said.
Hoefer said he had considered business markets in five states and narrowed the search to South Dakota, Iowa and Minnesota. The area would give the business access to housing markets in Williston, N.D., he said.
Hoefer said he was approaching Lyon County, the city of Cottonwood and the Lakeview School District to request a tax abatement for the business. The city of Cottonwood had already approved an abatement. Lyon County Assessor Dean Champine said the county portion of the abatement would come to a total of about $16,000, over a period of three years.
Commissioner Rodney Stensrud asked if Hoefer's business would be competing with existing Cottonwood businesses.
"I'm concerned that the businesses in town are working in conjunction with you, rather than fighting," Stensrud said.
Hoefer said he had spoken with Extreme Panel Technologies and Norcraft in Cottonwood about being local suppliers for the business. However, he said they would not be his sole suppliers.
Commissioners voted to approve a motion to grant the tax abatement, pending review by the county attorney.
In other business Tuesday, board members discussed a request concerning drainage tile on Branch 8 of County Ditch 60B. County ditch inspector Todd Hammer said about 2,000 feet of 12-inch tile was replaced on that branch of the ditch in November. However, a landowner affected by the project asked for more tile to be replaced because of issues with silt in the tile line.
Hammer said there were some potential concerns for the county in meeting that request. There were issues with farming practices on that land, including farming over tile intakes or having tile intakes without covers, he said. Hammer said there was also the question of whether replacing the tile would really improve drainage. The line is old and possibly too small to fully fix the problem.
Commissioners said they thought damage to the tile intakes caused by farming practices should be the landowner's responsibility to replace.
Commissioner Charlie Sanow moved that the tile line intakes be fixed, to see if that reduces the silt. If the damage to the intakes looks like it was caused by improper farming practices, Sanow said, it should be billed to the landowner.
The board voted in favor of that motion.

EPA Woodstoves vouchersMonday, January 12th, 2009
Dear Jeff,
I was in the hardware store last week, and was speaking to the owner about the wood and pellet stoves he had on display. I told him I had an old Franklin stove in my bedroom that I wanted to replace with a propane stove, as it gets too hot in the room once the fire is lit, and a propane stove can be turned off, where the Franklin stove, once lit, could not.
He told me to hold off on buying a new anything because the Salt River Project in St Johns, AZ. (the local power plant about 6 miles away) was going to give out vouchers towards the purchase of a new stove, and my Franklin stove would qualify as one that could be replaced with an EPA approved model.
Try as I might, I was and am unable to find anything online about this new program, and was wondering if you knew anything about it, and if not, then perhaps it may be something you might want to research for the BHM readers.
Thanks for your time, I look forward to hearing you response.
Len Torney
St Johns, AZ
I am not aware of any national EPA programs. This sounds like a local program funded by your utility, and they just require the EPA rating as a way to set the quality of the stoves they will help purchase.
It's not unusual for utilities that are facing power demands higher than they can provide to offer credits or rebates to customers to help lower their energy usage.
The alternative is for them to build another 10 billion dollar plant and they usually find it is more cost effective to just lower their peak demand. Virginia Power here supplying Virginia always has excess capacity, regardless of demand, so they never have offered any programs like this as they don't need to reduce demand. Some utilities in California offer rebates like this to install solar systems.
Hope this helps,
Jeff Yago
Thanks Jeff,
I did some in-depth searching and found out it was part of a settlement between the local power plant here where I live and the EPA. I appreciate your efforts, and sorry to send you on a wild goose chase.
Thanks again,
Len Torney

Restaurant robbed at gunpoint
November 30, 2007
Ben's Barbecue was robbed at gunpoint Thursday night as employees were closing the restaurant, according to police.
A masked male suspect took more than $1,000 in cash contained in two deposit bags, Clovis Police Capt. Patrick Whitney said.
Around 9 p.m. a female employee was in the back of the restaurant, located at 1421 Prince Street, preparing the night deposit when the suspect came through the back door, pointed a black semi-automatic handgun at her and said "give me all your money," Whitney said.
The woman said she put the deposit bags in his backpack and he fled out the back, Whitney said.
Witnesses described the suspect as an approximately 5-feet-5-inches tall, average build male wearing a black "puffy" jacket with a Nike symbol on the arm, black pants, a black backpack and a black three-hole ski mask.
"Robberies do go up during the holidays," Whitney said, encouraging residents to be aware of their surroundings and alert during the season.
Anyone with information on the robbery can call Crime Stoppers: 763-7000

Tech, Finlandia students help out CopperDog
CALUMET – The CopperDog 150 already has one of the most technically advanced websites in sled dog racing – copperdog150.com – but this year event organizers are working closely with Michigan Technological University and Finlandia University students to take efforts to an even higher level.
Two teams of Tech business students are working on creating an automated live statistics system and producing CopperDog human interest stories via video; while Finlandia design students are crafting digital and print deliverables to refine and enhance the CopperDog brand.
"Although CopperDog is doing all of these great things, we are coming up short in providing statistics, up-to-the-minute standings, and video coverage presented periodically throughout race weekend," said CopperDog Executive/Race Director Todd Brassard, who connected with Tech Lecturer of Entrepreneurship Michele Loughead and her team dynamics/decision making class.
"I was absolutely ecstatic when Michele notified me that several of her problem solving teams had chose CopperDog as their client," Brassard added. "The timing was perfect because we have a few very challenging problems to solve. I have been very impressed with how quickly the students engaged in problem solving."
CopperDog already closesly tracks the progress of the 45 sled dog teams through a radio network of HAM operators and firefighters, and as teams move through crossings, their time is radioed into headquarters and logged into a database. The info is then spread to Facebook, Twitter and the website, which, along with an interactive map, allow people to follow the race remotely.
Now, Tech Computer Networks and Systems Administration undergraduate student Ben Christensen is leading a team of five students to improve the live statistics system even more.
"We're at work collecting opinions and data to decide what sort of statistics we want to report. We're also working on developing formulas and other means to collect the data. My role is to translate that information into an automatic system that will calculate and display the information on the fly," said Christensen, who is the group's primary programmer/developer, based on experience as the primary developer for Michigan Tech Broomball's website.
"I've never done live stats before, though, so this is an exciting new challenge to tackle," he said.
During just four weeks the project will go from concept to deliverable project, "no small feat for a group that barely knew each other before the start of the project," Christensen said.
Nikoli Wiens, who is leading a second five-person team from Loughead's class, is faced with a similar challenge of branching out into new territory and completing a project on a short time frame.
"It's uncharted waters for most of us, but we are definitely learning a lot about ourselves and what we are capable of in the process," he said. "This is something that we are really excited to work on because we know it would add a lot of accessibility to the race and provide ways for friends and fans to be involved in the race even if they can't make it on race day."
Various team members have experience in video production, tweeting live updates and broadcasting sports events. Those backgrounds will all come together to produce human interest video stories about mushers, volunteers, race planners, etc.
"Both of their projects are ambitious, may completely fail, but if they succeed, will blow people's socks off," Brassard said.
Over at Finlandia, Audrey Small, who will be graduating this April with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Art and Design, is helping CopperDog bring young, fresh and edgy design input to the event. She got involved through an internship with Brassard Media, which is owned and operated by Todd and Jessica Brassard, and they all agreed CopperDog would be a good area of focus.
Now the partnership has opened doors for a possible long-term connection with Finlandia design students through discussions with Finlandia University International School of Art and Design Associate Professor of Graphic Design Robert Grame.
"We have received a lot of great support from Finlandia University over the years, but this is the first year that we are tapping one of of their strongest assets, the faculty and students of their design department," Todd Brassard said. "Although we are just getting this relationship of the ground, I know that Finlandia design students can play a huge part in developing the CopperDog brand and keeping our look and appeal fresh."
So far Small has created a poster and postcard/flyer for the CopperDog 150, pieces that will be key to her designer portfolio and to the race's marketing efforts.
"My role thus far has consisted of poster design; it doesn't sound like much, but paper flyers and other such advertisements go a long way," Small said. "I'm learning to understand branding and how to stay true to a brand while adding a fresh twist. … Everyone with the CopperDog is so enthusiastic and passionate for what they do, it's simply amazing."

I was shopping at wholefoods yesterday and was checking out all the flours they had available and I found a bag of Italian 00 flour. I finally found a bag other than Caputo in a store near me. I can't wait to see the difference between this and Caputo.
Like 50/50 blend of bread flour?
Chau what is the protein content of Caputo 00?

Ashli GerdesLearning on the job
Ashli Gerdes, mass communications student from St. Cloud, is learning on the job and in the classroom.
A locked door launched Ashli Gerdes' radio broadcasting career.
"I didn't ever expect to do radio," said Gerdes, a senior majoring in mass communications.
A locked door at a campus media outlet prompted Gerdes to wander into the studios of KVSC 88.1 FM, where she met Ryan Connelly '10, the station's production director. Three weeks later she was on the air at St. Cloud State's student-run, independent public radio station.
"I absolutely fell in love with it," said Gerdes, who hails from St. Cloud.
Gerdes has since written columns for University Chronicle, anchored newscasts and served as website director for UTVS, worked as program director for KVSC, and interned at KMXK Mix 94.9.
Those experiences led to her job as reporter, anchor and on-air personality for Townsquare Media stations in St. Cloud, including WJON, Mix 94.9 and 103.7 The Loon.
Gerdes also is an online content specialist, anchor and reporter for sister station 1240 WJON in St. Cloud.
"She covers community event-type stories, stories we wouldn't have been able to cover in the past," said Jim Maurice, her news director.
Said Gerdes: "Radio helps people get their messages out. We make people aware of what's going on in the community."
"I help people find their passion in a way, by making them aware. Kind of the same way I found my passion."

This really only applies to the Brits on here, but did anybody see Only Fools & Horses on sunday night? (I haven't had any internet access since then until today). Because in the opening scene in the bar, where Boycie is getting Del to do his dirty work, the song playing is "Spies Like Us" by the man himself!
The difference between genius and insanity is merely the difference between success and failure.

It's a Japan-only menu item and will be available for a limited time only until early January. This is the first time for McDonald's Japan to release a burger that includes crab meat.
The red snow crab croquette called Kani Korokke Burger has a creamy crab flavored croquette, lettuce, and tomato sauce sandwiched in Ciabatta buns (Italian white bread).
Sony announced the development of a display module that transforms your eyewear into a wearable device.
They also revealed that they will show the display module and its concept model - SmartEyeglass Attach! - at the 2015 International CES that will be held in Las Vegas in the U.S. beginning Junuary 6.
One Changes a Lot; the Other Very Little
SoftBank announced the release of wireless MIDI music Keyboard C.24 manufactured by an American startup, Miselu.
The keyboard, C.24, is scheduled to be released around the world in January 2015, however, SoftBank is going to exclusively start selling it (500 units only!) on December 16 before the rest of the world!
Kaga Hightech announced they are going to release MYKRONOZ-brand smartwatch models "ZeWatch2" and "ZeBracelet2", manufactured by Kronoz LLC in Switzerland, on December 26 in a limited quantity.

Just like Game Boy, there is a volume control dial at the side of the Game Boy-like remote-control microphone. There are also other control buttons such as Play/Stop and Mute on it.
Since the accompanying earphones are removable from the microphone part, you can connect other earphones to it.
Terrie's Take is a selection of Japan-centric news collected and collated by long-time resident and media business professional Terrie Lloyd. AkihabaraNews is pleased to present Terrie's learned perspective; we all could use another take on the news - here's Terrie's:

Beaver Softball Looking to Build off Last Season's Success
Beaver Softball Looking to Build off Last Season's Success
The Buena Vista softball team has made it into the Iowa Conference Tournament in two of the last three seasons, but the Beavers are still looking for that elusive first win in postseason play since the tournament was reinstated in 2006. Now entering her fifth season directing her alma mater, head coach Heather Hupke believes this could be the year the program turns another corner.
"We have a nice corps of returning players this year who have been around the block and now know what to expect," she says. "As we move into the season, we're going to be looking for a lot out of those players and expect to be more consistent overall."
BVU is coming off a 2012 campaign in which it finished 17-17 overall, marking its first season at .500 or better since going 22-13 back in 2001. Despite a tough ending to the year at the conference tournament, the team has reason to be excited for this year, as six starters will be back, including four of the team's top five hitters.
"We're on our bus trip home from Decorah, and several of those players were already talking about how they wanted to get back out and play again the next day," she says. "They are a focused and determined bunch, and the way it ended last year was tough."
Sophomore Stephanie Hayden (Prairie City, Iowa/PCM), junior Brooke Berkey (Colfax, Iowa/Colfax-Mingo), and junior Sam Engleman (Hawarden, Iowa/West Sioux) are among the leaders of that group. Berkey and Engleman each made 34 starts with Hayden starting 33. All three are infielders and finished the year, hitting above .300. They also combined to score more than 46 of the team's runs with Hayden and Engleman, tying for the team lead with 12 walks.
Sophomore Jessica Stocker (Des Moines, Iowa/Carlisle) joins that group to round out the returning infielders. She's coming off a season that saw her hit .270 with a team-leading eight doubles and 10 sacrifice hits. Defensively, she committed just two errors in more than 250 chances at first base.
As a team, the defensive side was also much improved in 2012, with BVU committing nearly 30 fewer errors than it did in 2011. The team returns virtually every position player and Hupke feels that aspect of the game will be one of the team's strengths.
One of the big focal points in the early going is finding the right mix of arms for the mound, after losing the team's top-two pitchers from last year to graduation.
"It's been the one area we've spent a good time evaluating," says Hupke. "The fall gave us a good chance to see what we've got, and I've been pleased with what I've seen."
Brittany Kubik (Martensdale, Iowa/Martensdale St. Mary's) and Molly Cox (Redfield, Iowa/West Central) are each junior college transfers and already have experience under their belt. Cox was a First Team All-Region pitcher for Iowa Central Community College with Kubik joining the roster after seeing action on the mound at Des Moines Area Community College (DMACC).
Competing with those two and adding depth to the position are also freshman Jenna Falline (Newell, Iowa/Newell-Fonda) and Faith Schmidt (Emmetsburg, Iowa/Emmetsburg). Schmidt was a two-time all-state selection for the E-Hawks, while Falline had a stand-out career with the Mustangs.
"They each provide a great deal of strength to the pitching staff," states Hupke. "Each one throws the ball hard and produces a lot of movement. We just need them each to build off those strengths and be consistent."
Sophomore Erin Kliefoth (Exira, Iowa/Exira) gives those individuals a veteran target to pitch to, as she started 30 games, committed just three errors and threw out 14 attempted base stealers as a freshman last season.
The team will be tested right out of the gate again this year with six games in three days inside of the Rosemount Dome up north in Rosemount, Minn. BVU opens the year on Friday, March 1 with a doubleheader against preseason #18 St. Thomas (Minn.). That will be followed on Saturday with a pair of games against Bethel University and on Sunday with another twin-bill against Gustavus Adolphus. Those three teams combined to go 81-30 a year ago.
"It'll be a great test for us. We'll see a lot of this same caliber of teams throughout our conference schedule, so it's a good point for us to see where we're at as a team. With our pitching depth, we can hopefully throw several different looks out there and see what happens."
After heading north, the team will be play doubleheaders against three Great Plains Athletic Conference (GPAC) opponents, including the home opener on March 15 against Nebraska Wesleyan University at 5:00/7:00pm.
After a spring trip to Claremont, Fla, the Beavers will then open Iowa Conference play with a road doubleheader at Coe College on April 3. The first IIAC home games take place on Saturday, April 6 against Wartburg College.
"We certainly have the potential to be among the top-4 teams in the league," Hupke adds. "We were right there last year with a younger group and just let a few games get away late. We're building off that experience, and with a few teams losing some key players from last year, we'll see how it all plays out."

"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
When I hear those words, written to people who were suffering in exile and would continue to suffer there for many years to come, I think about what an extraordinary amount of faith it takes to receive that verse. Claiming Jeremiah 29:11 means believing in things hoped for but not seen.
In this issue of the Beacon, you'll meet people who have been challenged by career changes, suffered the consequences of poor choices, and faced the loss of loved ones. Yet, they cling to Jeremiah 29:11 and their belief in things hoped for but not yet seen. They understand, too, that while they might see glimpses of God's plan here on earth, the whole picture won't be revealed to them – or to any of us – this side of Heaven.
Tragedy and struggle are the nature of a fallen world, and each of us will face our own periods of exile. But we can take comfort in Jeremiah 29:11, which reminds us that God always has a plan for us, and that as Christians, we can look forward to a day when we will understand that perfect plan completely.

NUMERIC or DECIMAL data types are used to represent fixed-point numbers. As an option, the total number of digits (precision) and the number of digits after the decimal point (scale) can be specified for definition. The minimum value for the precision p is 1. When the precision p is omitted, you cannot enter data whose integer part exceeds 15 digits because the default value is 15. If the scale s is omitted, an integer rounded to the first digit after the decimal point is returned because the default value is 0.

They get a 20 year old OF prospect from the A's who appears to have a pretty high upside named Ramon Alverado.
When Tadano was acquired, he was pretty highly regarded. Hed have made alot of teams outta spring, and is simply a casualty of the Indians prospect rich minor league system.
It didn't fully sink in how deep the Indians are at the AA and AAA levels until I read through Lastoria's Buffalo and Akron previews.
http://cleveland.indians.mlb.com/NASApp ... p&c_id=cle
CHICAGO -- General manager Mark Shapiro said earlier this week he hated the thought of losing right-handed reliever Kaz Tadano.
"I think Kaz is a big leaguer," Shapiro said. "If we lose him, I'll feel bad about it. If we trade him, we won't get value that I think is [enough] value for him."
But any value is better than no value, of course. So the Indians shipped Tadano off to the A's on Tuesday in exchange for outfielder Ramon Alvarado.
Tadano, a 25-year-old native of Japan, was designated for assignment Saturday when the Indians set their Opening Day roster.
In three seasons with the organization, Tadano made 15 big-league appearances, including four starts, and compiled a 1-1 record and 4.47 ERA. He spent the majority of his time in the Minors with Triple-A Buffalo, and his Minor League record was 13-11 with a 3.42 ERA in 82 games.
In parting with Tadano, the Indians are gaining one of the more promising and explosive bats in the A's Minor League system.
The 20-year-old Alvarado is a product of Oakland's Dominican Baseball Academy. He spent his first three professional seasons in the Dominican Summer League before playing rookie ball last year.
With Oakland's rookie club in Arizona, Alvarado hit .296 (50-for-169) with six homers and 32 RBIs in 48 games. He also stole nine bases, scored 37 runs and finished fourth in the Arizona Rookie League in total bases (84), slugging percentage (.497) and extra-base hits (19). His six homers ranked second in the league.
The Indians have no further word on the status of infielder Brandon Phillips, who is also on the trading block after being designated for assignment Saturday. A deal is expected to be worked out sometime in the next few days.

A federal judge has upheld a project to thin trees and conduct prescribed burns on about 25,000 acres of the Kaibab National Forest in northern Arizona.
The project surrounding Jacob Lake first was proposed in 1998 and has been revised numerous times as environmental groups objected to the size of trees that would be cut.
The groups contend the thinning would damage habitat needed by the northern goshawk, a bird of prey, and remove too much of the forest canopy.
This week's ruling from the U.S. District Court in Phoenix found that the project doesn't violate federal environmental and forest management laws.
Kaibab forest officials says less than 2 percent of the trees that will be cut are greater than 16 inches in diameter. The project is expected to begin this year.

The Delforge Place
The Delforge Place has been welcoming guests since 1985. And still, each day brings a new adventure, thanks to you -- our guests -- who've come from every corner of the world and represent so many unique personalities. Your suite inside The Delforge Place will be one of several inside an historic Victorian-style home, built as a one-room Sunday House in 1898 by German pioneer Ferdinand Koeppen. Originally situated on a tract of land near Barons Creek known as the "Company Garden," which was set aside as a communal garden by the German Emigration Company, it was moved to its present site and restored in 1975. Today, the home retains its unique character, with original wood floors, 12-foot ceilings, beaded board, and chandeliers. Especially striking are the windows and doors of beveled, stained, and etched glass -- all original and in excellent condition. There is privacy in this guesthouse and you are welcome to come and go as you please. Accommodations furnished with American and European pieces, The Delforge Place is accented with antiques and family heirlooms. Special features include a Belgian Dovre wood-burning stove and French doors leading to a shaded rock patio with seating and a Therapeutic Hot Tub. Guest rooms or suites offer a number of amenities, and are themed according to different historical periods.
