As we all know, water affects the taste of tea, and we should use good water all the time.
In Canada, tap water is already very good, and bottled water even better. There are also different types of bottled waters, reverse osmosis, spring water, esker, iceberg. I use glacial esker water for my daily tea, I find that it is second to iceberg water which is very expensive. I avoid using ozonated spring water, I don't like how it tastes.
It's quite tempting to try artesian aquifer water such as Fiji. Have anybody ever tried to brew tea using Fiji water? I am curious about it, and whether it is worth it.
Are there any other interesting types of water that can potentially make a good cup of tea?

Topic: Alternatives to using the database.yml file
I'm developing an app that will have the source code hosted in a public repository. However, I don't want the username/password info from the database.yml file to be available. At the same time, I'm using Capistrano to deploy, so I think I need that info somewhere to facilitate the automated activity. Is there another, more secure place to put that information?

- Long Synopsis:
- The Claybornes are back --and love is in bloom! First introduced in Julie Garwood's magnificent "New York Times" bestseller "For the Roses," which inspired the Hallmark Hall of Fame television film "Rose Hill," the Clayborne brothers of Blue Belle, Montana, have been embraced by millions worldwide. Now Julie Garwood spins the individual stories of these three spirited brothers -- once a mismatched gang of street urchins -- in a trio of special novels that continues with "One White Rose. "Douglas Clayborne will never turn his back on anyone in need, and everyone in Blue Belle knows it. Time and again, his intolerance of cruelty of any kind has made him a champion of the defenseless. . . but his quiet strength faces its ultimate battle when he meets Isabel Grant. He arrives at her ranch to pick up the magnificent Arabian stallion he's purchased, but he cannot leave the vulnerable woman behind when he discovers the danger that threatens her. Convincing the stubborn, strong-willed beauty that she needs him is another matter. Douglas can stop the men from stealing her ranch and her horses, but he cannot stop Isabel Grant from stealing his h

I am not Tiger Woods. I will never be Tiger Woods.Posted Tuesday, June 17, 2008, at 10:41 AM
This is my column as it will appear in this week's NSC. Normally I don't post these, but it was a lot of fun so I thought I would share it.
Last Thursday morning during my abbreviated vacation, I woke around 6 a.m. and decided that would be the best time for me to squeeze in a few holes of golf while I was away.
I strolled down the road following billboards and signs to the Warrenton Golf Club. It was a nice course and I didn't play too bad, at least not against my own standards and abilities.
As I was heading back to my father's house I started thinking about the first time I ever played.
I guess I should point out that I'm a relative 'newbie' at golf. I've played for about six years, and don't play as regularly as I would like to. Every year I talk about how that's going to change, but for some reason it never does.
Before my first round ever, though, I remember thinking about what a stupid sport golf was and how only old men played golf. I always wondered how people could run around chasing that little ball all day, let alone the idea of watching someone else do it on television.
That day I found out why, but to this day I still can't explain it.
I went out that day in the blistering sun with a couple of good friends and learned what it's like to enjoy something and still be absolutely pathetic.
I think I shot around 130 that day, give or take a few dozen swings. After I got home that day was when I came to realize a few of the valuable lessons golf has to offer.
Here are some of the rules I've learned over the years:
1. I am not Tiger Woods. I will never be Tiger Woods. To anyone planning their first trip, just beginning repeating that two line mantra now and save yourself some misery and disappointment.
2. When playing golf, you apparently use muscles in your body that have absolutely no other function whatsoever. That first game and typically the first round each year leave me feeling a lot like I have been run over by a truck. On a side note, typically more golf seems to help. Infrequent golf results in that pain every time you play so my goal is to play at least once a week. Sometimes more, sometimes less but it's a good goal.
3. Missing the ball can be far more painful than making contact, both for you and for those within 20 feet. When you miss the ball, the human body takes a crazy flailing action that transforms you into a Jerry Lewis style dancer.
4. Fore! This is what you yell after you've actually made contact and learned the hard way what this word means. I had a rather scary gentleman explain it to me shortly after my ball landed in his golf cart (while he was driving it).
5. Trees are your enemy. Being of the skill level that I am, much of my time is spent golfing around trees, behind trees, beside trees and even on a fallen tree once. The power with which a golf ball leaves the tree and travels toward your body is the equivalent of a 90 mph fastball. While golf is not a contact sport, I have left the course bruised following an altercation with an oak tree.
6. If golfing with a friend who is driving his cart behind you, always drive over his ball. It is considered a friendly greeting by many.
7. Make sure the ball you run over does in fact belong to your friend. I won't elaborate on this one or how I learned it.
8. Never reach out too far when trying to retrieve your ball from the water. This is especially important if you can not swim or find yourself easily humiliated.
9. If an animal retrieves your ball before you reach it (i.e. bear, large dog, alligator or Smurf), the ball now belongs to them. However, if you find yourself not emotionally attached to your fingers, hands or other appendages, feel free to give it a whirl. Quite often your friends will appreciate the entertainment during the excursion.
10. For more information and valuable lessons, rent 'Dorf on Golf.'
Now, it's back to listening to the sudden-death playoff round of the U.S. Open on AM radio. See, I even learned to watch other people playing golf. In the words of Beaver Cleaver, 'Who'd have thunk it?'

This is a good one, Corey! I don't even like golf, and I liked the story! Now I almost understand why so many people like golf.
...I liked "Caddie Shack.." Did you see any gophers? (gophers golfing?? golphing gophers? Say that five times fast!)
-- Posted by goat lady on Tue, Jun 17, 2008, at 4:31 PM
See...I love most sports. I like to play and watch. Golf is not on the list of those said sports. Those player's backs turn in ways mine would never agree with. That's just not my cup of tea.
Though I must admit I was excited to be watching Tiger on Sunday. He tied Mediate on his first father's day ever. Wonderful. Then he took it the next day. I guess I just love watching Tiger. He is a wonder...
-- Posted by mrsdolphin on Wed, Jun 18, 2008, at 12:21 AM
So true, dolphin. We've all watched Tiger grow up in the public eye, and he's just so wholesome and adorable! Did you see his little girl reaching for him? Just precious! What a role model!
-- Posted by goat lady on Wed, Jun 18, 2008, at 7:43 AM
Hey, I gave my 2-year-old grandson a toy golf set for his birthday yesterday, and his dad and mom were coaching him out in the back yard! D'ya think there's a chance that he could become another Tiger Woods???? I wonder how early Tiger started??
-- Posted by goat lady on Wed, Jun 18, 2008, at 9:06 PM
How come the golf announcers whisper? They are nowhere near the person putting or driving or whatever they do.
-- Posted by I.B. Le Truth on Wed, Jun 18, 2008, at 10:27 PM
GL, they said the other day on tv that Tiger started before/around 2. So I guess there's a chance!
-- Posted by mrsdolphin on Thu, Jun 19, 2008, at 12:24 AM
Have you noticed that even some of the small high schools have golf teams now?
I.B., I think the whispering is all part of the "Golf Mystique." In other words, "It's a tradition!"
-- Posted by goat lady on Thu, Jun 19, 2008, at 6:17 AM
I think the Goat and the Dolphin are right on here. Remember, golf is a sport for ANYone, no matter the skill. You can both give it a try and might find you enjoy the peace and beauty of the courses. BUT beware, Corey is right on about the difficulty. And don't tell you Grandkid this, because anything is possible, but the odds of him being the next TW is tiny........may not be another Tiger. Maybe he could be the next Tom Watson, that wouldn't be too bad.
-- Posted by shannonhoon on Sat, Jun 28, 2008, at 8:19 AM
Only thing is - Golf seems to be a rich man's sport, so that limits the peons from participating, doesn't it? Mmm..no peon participation...That has a catchy sound to it. Haven't I seen a sign...?
-- Posted by goat lady on Sun, Jun 29, 2008, at 3:53 PM
Corey Noles' response:Actually, I'm so broke it took a dictionary for me to even spell rich just now. lol
Golf and soccer I do not get and they just don't seem like sports that a guy like me would be interested in. I tried them both a couple times and I just didn't like them. I tried bowling for a while in my life and seemed to enjoy that until it got to the point where you had a hard time getting a lane because of all the league play. Haven't done that in years either. Baseball, football and basketball will have to be enough sport for me.
-- Posted by I.B. Le Truth on Sun, Jun 29, 2008, at 10:01 PM
Goat.....and IB......$2.00 buys a bucket of balls on a driving range.....ton of fun hitting them and trying to figure this crap out. Are you a Goat or a peon? Goat for it.
-- Posted by shannonhoon on Sun, Jun 29, 2008, at 10:35 PM
I.B., the announcers do whisper for a reason. The TV networks usually have 2 or 3 course announcers that follow certain players on the course. So they are actually right by the fairways and greens when these guys are playing. That is why they have to talk softly.

City Man Charged Following Drug Raid
A Friday evening drug raid led by the Jamestown Police Department resulted in the arrest of one city man.
Around 6 p.m. police executed a search warrant at 516 W. Sixth St., after an investigation revealed that the occupant was selling and distributing crack cocaine in and around the Jamestown area.
Investigators, who were assisted by members of the Jamestown SWAT team, located Raymond L. Johnson, 32, of Jamestown inside the residence. While inside the residence, police located and seized a quantity of crack cocaine along with cash and a scale.
Johnson was taken to the city jail where he was later arraigned and committed to the Chautauqua County Jail on charges of third-degree possession of a controlled substance (Class-B felony), second-degree criminal use of drug paraphernalia and criminal contempt.
The investigation is ongoing and more arrests are expected. Anyone who may have information on illegal drug activity is asked to contact the Jamestown Police Departments Anonymous Tip Line at 483-TIPS (8477). All calls will be kept confidential.

Hi there!
I would like to burn a theme at here. There is such a thing, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of ponzy-like structure, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.
For several years , I earn money with the help of these programs.
I don't have problems with money now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I get now up to 2G a day , and my first investment was 500 dollars only.
Right now, I managed to catch a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Visit my blog to get additional info.

Assessing and Setting Student Goals
It's a magical time of year. As I waved goodbye to my kindergartners in December 2009, I explained to them about this amazing thing that happens over winter break. It's called "winter break magic!" Students always come back from winter break changed in amazing ways. All of a sudden things have clicked for many students. Teachers are excited to see that students really understand the routines and expectations of the classroom. It's wonderful to see!
Of course, with all these changes teachers are busy assessing their students and determining goals and next steps. Even though our students are very young, I have them assist me in reflecting on their learning and coming up with new literacy and math goals. I really believe in involving students in the assessment and decision making process, as well as allowing them to play an active role in their learning. I've found a lot of success with this approach and have been pleasantly surprised how young students easily and eagerly fall into this role.
Currently, I am in the process of assessing my students on a variety of skills including letter sounds, running records, number recognition, and writing. After I collect this data, I will conference with each student. During our conference we will talk about what they are proud of learning. Then we will talk about what is hard for them in reading, writing, and math. Students will surprise you on how accurate they are! The conversation is very positive and encouraging as well as enlightening for the teacher. It always makes me smile when I hear a kindergartner talking about what they think they need to work on.
During our discussion we determine a literacy and a math goal for the child to work on at school and at home. This goal gets written down on a form to be sent home. I talk with the child about how they could work on that skill and record these and several other ideas to assist parents. The children bring these forms home to get signed and have one copy returned for my files. There is a date on the form when the goal should be met. I make sure to reassess and continue the same routine with goal setting when the child meets the goal.
If you have not involved your students in the assessment and goal setting process, I encourage you to do so. Just being a part of the decision making process is very motivational for students – even at this age. Please write me to share what assessments you use at this time of year and how you get your students involved in their personal goal setting process. I hope to hear from you soon and Happy 2010!
Hi Megan,
I think that it is a great idea to involve students in the learning process. I love your idea of making them a part of the assessment process.
Thank you very much. It is very helpful to get them involved in their learning even from an early age. It is amazing how intunned with their learning they are! Thanks for your comment! Smiles, Megan
I am in the process of assessing handwriting, color and cutting skills. We made a take home book -"THE BEAR HAS A BROWN COAT. ________ HAS A _____ COAT". Each child has to color and cut out the brown bear. We then take a photo of each child in their coat. each child then has to glue the bear and their photo on the page- writing their own name and color of their coat on the blank lines. Every day a different child gets to take the book home to read with their family. There is always a lot of excitement anticipating who is next to bring home the book!
What a fun and positive way to assess your students in these areas. I am sure they are so proud and excited about their work. Thank you so much for sharing this great activity with us! Smiles, Megan
Hello Megan, I just come across this website and absolutely love the site as i've just started teaching and ideas as these come really helpful.
I have a question though, on assessing children, in this discussion, how do we question them without making them feel intimadated? what kind of question do we ask?
thank you for your time.
Thank you very much for your comment. I am glad you came across this website. Scholastic has a ton of amazing resources for teachers. This section where real teachers blog is very helpful for sharing ideas and strategies that work. I find that I am very open with my young students about their learning. It is always in a positive manner. I tell them to do the best they can and it is okay if they don't know something or can't do something yet. This is why I am checking them so I can help them learn. If students are struggling or below where I would want them to be I just talk with them about how we can practice the skill at school and at home. I have never had a child feel upset or intimidated with any assessments. They all understand that I am there to help and that they are responsible for their learning even at this young age. I think my students love that I am very honest and open about discussing their learning with them. It is amazing how children at this age know what areas they need to improve on. When you include their opinions in the goal setting it becomes a positive experience and students are excited and eager to work on those areas.
I hope this helps you out! Smiles, Megan
I also decided to see what my students had forgotten during their vacation. I was also amazed on how much they remembered. When I assess, I use a fast and easy form because I teach 3, 4 and 5 year old special need children. I see which colors, shapes, numbers, and what letters are in their own name they know. I see which parents have worked with their student and which one have not.
Thanks for sharing. I think January is such a telling time to see where our young students are. As you mentioned, you can tell who has been practicing over the break and who has not. Thanks again! Smiles, Megan

Open Space, Parks & Trails
Nearly half of the 681 acres of Three Springs is dedicated to open space, parks, trails and schools. That's about 300 acres of playground for people of all ages. You can see on our master plan just how these open spaces were planned. Residents and visitors alike can take advantage of this great feature of our traditional neighborhood design. The maintenance of these open areas is designed to conserve water and hundreds of trees have been moved and replanted (not bought and planted) to create a mature landscape from the start.
In addition to the green belt parks that run east to west at the top of Village One as well as along the trails, there are 12 pocket parks that will include play equipment, community gardens and seating areas which encourage the interaction of Three Springs residents. Right now, our residents enjoy Three Springs Plaza, the playground on Mercado Street and the new Confluence Park that features a playground and picnic area. The 75-acre city community park is under development by the City of Durango Parks and Recreation Department. This will be the City of Durango's largest developed park. The Master Plan for the park includes sports fields for softball and soccer, tennis courts, a destination playground, walking trails, picnic areas, dog play area, and passive areas, including a pond.
Food, Shops & Services
Our Mercado and Business District is alive with activity — from banks to insurance companies, a 24 hour fitness center, and the popular Digs Restaurant and Bar. Three Springs has a Durango Police Department Station as well as a planned Fire Station, and the area's biggest and most respected medical campus, Mercy Medical Center and Medical Office Building, that anchors our community.
For more information on the Business District, including a business directory, click here.
Part of Three Springs commitment to sustainability lies in providing ease of transportation to and from our neighborhood, connecting Three Springs to historic downtown Durango as well as other parts of the county. Our goal is to enable people to use alternative transportation whenever possible. Three Springs possesses a location- centrally located between downtown Durango, Ignacio and Bayfield — that creates a natural hub for transit services.
The City of Durango's "T" System makes frequent trips to Three Springs, stopping at Mercy Regional Medical Center's main entrance. In addition, Road Runner, a free service offered by the Southern Ute Community Action Partnership (SUCAP), provides service to Bayfield, Ignacio and Aztec locations. You must call ahead to schedule a pick up from Mercy Regional Medical Center (563-4545). And of course, if you are self-powered — the bicycle trails are a great option. The famous Animas River Trail continues to grow and will eventually link Durango to Bayfield, with Three Springs right on the way!

Deborah Grey Edmonton North, AB
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise in the debate today. We could look at all the political ramifications of the bill, whether it will be tossed through before an election. However, I do not think that is the point. We are in this place to make good legislation. That has to be uppermost in our minds, regardless of whether the House prorogues.
What we need to do is look at some of the pros and cons. There is never anything totally wonderful about any particular bill. There is also never anything totally wrong about a bill either. We need to weigh the pros and the cons. Although, there is a lot of good stuff in this bill, there are some concerns, and I would like to address a few of those.
I too, like my colleague from Nanaimo—Cowichan, have lived on a reserve and have been a foster parent of many native children as well. I probably bring a somewhat different perspective to the table. I am somewhat familiar with that culture because I have lived in it and, of course, had children as well.
What we need to do, first and foremost, is realize that these are real people who have real concerns. I know the Westbank area is a tremendously prosperous area. The people have done a really good job in ensuring that businesses operate well and effectively. As some people have brought out, it is a concern that this will be a template for other agreements across the country, and there may be areas where business wise they are not as prosperous.
We need to ensure that whatever template we set in place that it is productive, useful and effective for any other group or area across the country.
As this debate rages, there has been talk about whether the people will be protected under the charter, or whether they will have a right to vote or have a say in matters. We know that about 8,000 people resident there, with only 430 members, I think it is. I believe the vote to go ahead with this was 195 to 170. This is not exactly what I call a screaming endorsement of something by any stretch. However, 50% plus one always wins. If children are playing soccer in recess in grade three, the guys with the most points always wins.
We know though that this agreement has been endorsed. However, if I were either a resident of Westbank or had a business there and if I were paying taxes, I would want to have a say. I have always said that about people and elections. People grumble and gripe about whoever is in power, and they go on a rant. When I hear that, I ask them if they voted. If they say no, but they say that they still have their opinion, I tell them that they do not have that right because they did not vote or participate in the process. We can understand the flip side of that also, if people are paying taxes and running some very successful businesses there.
It seems to me that if I were one of those people, I would want my say. I might not get my way, but I would certainly want to have my say and be included at the table. I think there are some questions about the bill and whether that will happen.
In terms of the charter and what jurisdictional area is in place or what the powers are, if it is a municipal government or a provincial or federal government, I think there are some concerns from legal experts. These concerns are certainly not from me because I am not that familiar with the situation. I have however alarm bells that go off and I want to ask particular questions about things, such as would that law supercede federal law. Of course we have people on both sides of the issue saying whether it will or not. However, before we pass legislation, we ought to know the answers to those questions first and foremost, so we know exactly what we are getting into.
In terms of people having rights or if there is taxation do they get representation, I am reminded of something else that we went through in the House several years ago, with people who owned homes on the Musqueam reserve in Vancouver on the UBC grounds. If a long term lease is taken out or if there is a commercial operation and people enter into that lease, they have the right to say they are going to quadruple or multiply by 10 that lease. There was a long term lease in place and when people signed it, they thought they would be safe. It looked like there would be some retirement income for them as an investment. However, what happened was pretty frightening for many of the people who had very expensive homes.
We need to have some of these questions answered before this gets rushed through the House. We should not put something through and then ask later if we made a mistake. It is better to look at it ahead of time.

Economic Development

Guy St-Julien Abitibi—Baie-James—Nunavik, QC
Mr. Speaker, Canada Economic Development is taking part in a fish culture station project in an unused section of the Robert-Bourassa power plant operated by the Radisson Economic Development Corporation.
The aim of this three-year pilot project is to experiment with the controlled breeding of Rupert-strain brook trout using waste heat from the hydroelectric dam.
The Radisson Economic Development Corporation is to be applauded for its efforts to stimulate local entrepreneurship.
This fish farming project is eloquent testimony of the region's creativity and daringness when it comes to proposing promising new avenues of development.
It is also a good way to generate greater economic spinoff from the operation of hydroelectric power plants in James Bay.

David Anderson Cypress Hills—Grasslands, SK
Mr. Speaker, spring is here and the land is coming to life. After a long, hard winter, the people of Cypress Hills—Grasslands are going into the fields.
Calving is done for many. Seeding is about to start. And, in spite of the tough times on the farm, people are looking forward, forward to better days for them and their families.
However they need help from the government. They need a government that helps on trade issues rather than is helpless; that allows freedom to do business rather than restricts it; that encourages farmers rather than discourages them; and especially, they need a government that will keep its word and deliver on the programs that it has promised.
Why is it so hard for the government to keep its word? It is not just the contracts, the advertising, the phoney excuses, the ridiculous lines and the lack of good leadership. There is something far more wrong with the government and it needs to be replaced. Until it is, Canadians, including our farmers, will be left without the help they need.
Canadian Sikh Community
Statements by Members
2 p.m.
Gurbax Malhi Bramalea—Gore—Malton—Springdale, ON
Mr. Speaker, this month, Sikhs in Canada and around the world are celebrating Vaisakhi , the 305th birthday of the Sikh nation, Khalsa.
The founder of the Sikh nation, Guru Gobind Singh Ji, preached equality, truthfulness, tolerance, honesty, brotherhood and human rights. Thus, it is the duty of the Canadian Sikhs to come together in the footsteps of Sikh gurus and continue these efforts for social justice.
Canada's Sikh community and myself are deeply grateful to the Prime Minister for his continued involvement at the Vaisakhi celebrations on Parliament Hill, which he annually attended when he was finance minister and which he attended this morning as Prime Minister.
I am sure all members will join me in congratulating Canadian Sikhs on the birth of the Sikh nation and in recognition of their tremendous contributions in all spheres of Canadian society.
Information Rights Week

Derek Lee Scarborough—Rouge River, ON
Mr. Speaker, I would like to inform the House that from April 16 to April 23 the Canadian Library Association is celebrating Information Rights Week.
Information Rights Week is an annual activity designed to bring attention to the importance of information issues and policy in Canadian life.
This year's theme, "You Have the Right to Remain Private", demonstrates the CLA's priority to protect user privacy and confidentiality. The library profession has a commitment to an ethic of facilitating, not monitoring, access to information.
Libraries across Canada will be playing a leadership role in their communities by planning promotions and hosting programs highlighting confidentiality of user information.
We would like to thank the public libraries for their efforts and wish them success in this year's Information Rights Week.
Status of Women
Statements by Members
2 p.m.
Marlene Jennings Notre-Dame-de-Grâce—Lachine, QC
Mr. Speaker, Canada's foreign policy priorities include eliminating violence against women and helping women become empowered decision makers.
To assist in these goals, the 2004 budget provides an additional $248 million for foreign aid. This is in addition to the $500 million Africa fund and is in keeping with our goal to double international assistance by 2010-11.
We have done this in Senegal, for instance, where CIDA supports a network of organizations that escort and protect women victims of violence, run literacy campaigns and hold legal information clinics.
Canada will maintain its commitment to reduce global poverty and strengthen democracy, justice and social stability, all of which will contribute to improving the situation of women around the world.

Diane Ablonczy Calgary Nose Hill, AB
Mr. Speaker, a suspected war criminal who entered Canada illegally is now living comfortably in Windsor, over the protests of many Canadians.
An 18-year-old Kosovo woman, Saranda Bogojevci , has travelled to Canada in hopes of reversing Canada's refusal to extradite this man, Dejan Demirovic, to be tried in Serbia.
Demirovic is accused of the massacre of Saranda's mother, two brothers and 11 other family members. Demirovic's alleged partner in this murderous crime has already been convicted and given the maximum sentence.
Saranda Bogojevci says, "I want to know why the Canadian government failed to send Demirovic to Serbia to face justice".
That is a good question. The students of Bowness High School in Calgary also want an answer.
On behalf of Bowness High School students and other concerned Canadians, I urge the government to stand with the victims of this unspeakable crime. It will send an important message about the value we place on the pursuit of justice.
Canadian Prostate Cancer Research Initiative
Statements by Members
2:05 p.m.
Robert Thibault West Nova, NS
Mr. Speaker, prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men. In Canada, at least one in eight men will develop the disease in their lifetime. One in four will die.
The Canadian Prostate Cancer Research Initiative is an alliance comprised of representatives of Health Canada and national cancer organizations that strives to stimulate new efforts in prostate cancer research across Canada and to strengthen existing efforts.
In a co-operative effort, I encourage Health Canada to give consideration and priority to the $10 million funding request to sustain the vital research activities of the Canadian Prostate Cancer Research Initiative.
Research is the key to a cure and the Government of Canada has a critical role to play in ensuring that Canada remains a world leader in health research.
Employment Insurance
Statements by Members
2:05 p.m.
Michel Guimond Beauport—Montmorency—Côte-De- Beaupré—Île-D'Orléans, QC
Mr. Speaker, yesterday, in Forestville, I took part in a march by over 2,000 people from the Upper North Shore, Charlevoix and Manicouagan.
In solidarity, most of the businesses had closed for two hours to once again ask the Liberal government to amend the unfair employment insurance system, particularly with regard to workers in seasonal industries.
Not a single Liberal member of Parliament had the courage to represent the government at this demonstration of solidarity. For months now, attempts have been made to meet with the minister responsible, who systematically refuses to meet with the victims of this government's mismanagement.
I invite the Liberal government, which likes to create endless committees and task forces, to stop beating around the bush and implement a real universal employment insurance system. For the men and women of Charlevoix and the Upper North Shore, this is first and foremost a matter of respect, dignity and survival.
The solutions are obvious. The Liberal government must stop campaigning for votes, and this injustice must be resolved before the next federal election. The people of the North Shore and Charlevoix want the legislation changed now.
Volunteer Award

Maria Minna Beaches—East York, ON
Mr. Speaker, I am proud to welcome here today, Ms. Margaret Norquay, a constituent of Beaches—East York and one of this year's recipients of the Therese Casgrain Volunteer Award.
She has been an active and dedicated volunteer for more than 50 years. An advocate for women, children, immigrants and seniors, Margaret Norquay has spent her life working to create a more just and equitable society. I rise today to applaud Margaret Norquay for her invaluable contributions to our community and to the advancement of social justice.
This award is presented every year to two individuals from across the country whose pioneering spirit, social commitment and persistent endeavours have contributed significantly to advancing a cause and the well-being of their fellow citizens.
I ask the House to join me in thanking Margaret Norquay for her contribution.

Roy H. Bailey Souris—Moose Mountain, SK
Mr. Speaker:
Sit down my friend and just relax It's time to pay your income tax. For whether we are great or small They call us one, they tax us all. They tax the collar on the dog And tax the nose-ring on the hog. They tax the wing badge on the hen And tax the feeder in her pen. They tax the baby in his crib They tax his shirt and tax his bib. They tax the diaper on his seat They tax the bootees on his feet. They tax the mattress in his bed They tax the bonnet on his head. Thank God he cannot comprehend That they have taxed him end to end. They tax the coffin where you sleep Enough to make the angels weep. They tax the grave where you are laid And make darn sure the tax is paid. They tax the flowers friends sent for you Because they need the revenue. They tax you all the way through life When you are gone they tax your wife. To all taxmen I wish you well May each of you wind up in--well. Down there no doubt you can relax For the devil needs no income tax.
Holocaust Memorial Day
Statements by Members
2:10 p.m.
Anita Neville Winnipeg South Centre, MB
Mr. Speaker, yesterday I, along with others in the Winnipeg Jewish community and members of the larger community, were present on the grounds of the Manitoba legislative buildings to commemorate the Holocaust Memorial Day, Yom ha-Shoah.
It was a day of much significance. It was the first national Holocaust Memorial Day, a day that came about because of the efforts of all parties in the House of Commons.
We know that between 1933 and 1945 during the Nazi regime, the shift of anti-Semitism moved from speechmaking to policymaking, from policy to persecution, to ghettoization, and to the systematic mass murders at the camps. It was a process fed by many factors, not the least of which was what one historian described as "upon the collaborators far beyond the German border, and...upon the indifference of bystanders in every land".
It is imperative that we remember that hatred of Jews and the resurgence of anti-Semitism at home and abroad is a malignancy that ultimately encompasses all vulnerable groups. It is the responsibility of all us to fight this anti-Semitism, intolerance and racism wherever and however it is manifested.
South Africa

Alexa McDonough Halifax, NS
Mr. Speaker, on April 27, South Africans will celebrate 10 years of freedom and an end to apartheid in their country.
The African National Congress and Nelson Mandela's successor, Thabo Mbeki, have just won a third landslide victory. And another reason to celebrate: almost 33% of South African parliamentarians are women.
South Africa faces daunting challenges, devastating poverty, the ravages of HIV-AIDS and an enormous gap between wealthy elites and the rest of its citizens but they are determined and courageous people.
Like Canada's honorary citizen, Nelson Mandela, South Africans inspire us with their commitment to justice and reconciliation.
Canada's New Democrats stand in solidarity with proud South Africans on their historic achievements.

Francine Lalonde Mercier, QC
Mr. Speaker, is history repeating itself? Ten years after the genocide in Rwanda, the international community continues to sit passively by as the situation in Sudan deteriorates. The situation continues to grow worse in Darfur in western Sudan for one million refugees who are in the grip of a humanitarian disaster that may spin out of control. Famine and epidemics threaten the region and the upcoming rainy season has people fearing the worst.
According to the UN, this situation is the result of the ethnic cleansing strategy engaged in by the Karthoum-backed Arab militia as they commit murder and rape, force people to relocate, and destroy villages, food and agricultural resources.
Violence has also resumed in the Upper Nile region, where 50,000 people have fled their villages in the past month because of systematic attacks against civilians by the government-backed militia.
"Never again," we said after the Holocaust and after Rwanda. Canada must ask the Security Council to address this issue.

I am trying to take really good care of my v4 tama to get a mametchi (and I got highest in intelligence skill points too) but I need to leave it for a long time so I have to pause it. I have some questions:
1. Others suggested that I put it to sleep instead but will that be considered "bad care" and the tama will envolve into a universal chara instead?
2. Also, is the minium weight for a tama also the healthy weight for it? Because I have a habit of keeping it at that. If not, how much? Thank you so much because I really don't want anything to go wrong!

I'm pretty sure that pausing your tama has no effect on the character your tama will evolve into. Instead of changing the time zi'd just pause it, just in case it wakes up an you aren't there to take care of it.
Also, minimum weight is the healthiest weight that your tama can be. It's I great that you have a habit of keeping your tama's weight at the minimum!
Good luck in getting a Mametchi-it looks like you are on them right path

Posted 13 February 2012 - 08:11 AM ( #3 )
Hey there Dawn, the V4 is one of my absolute fave tamas so I can help with this question Generally keeping your Tama at its minimum weight is considered "good care", this is the case with most tamagotchis however there are a few exceptions.I usually have my tamagotchi within 10lb of its minimum weight and I can always get the character I'm aiming for. I would also recommend putting it to sleep rather then pausing it, because pausing delays the growth of the tama by a fair amount, not just the length of time you had it paused, where as if you need to just "have a break for a little while" putting it to sleep doesn't delay the growth at all (unless the time its meant to evolve is when its sleeping, but if this is the case it will just evolve when it wakes up) and you wont have to worry about the hunger/happy meters from emptying. In saying that make sure when you put it to sleep that you remember when its going to be waking up, because I ave done it before and forgotten that it was due to wake up, and had a couple of care misses. By doing these things and just generally giving good care you should get the Tama you are aiming for, hope I helped
Posted 13 February 2012 - 09:47 AM ( #4 )
When you put it sleep it won't count as a bad care character; In fact, that actually is the way a lot of people use to get Mametchi! ;D Good luck.

Betsy Alt cried when she first saw the price for the orthopedic surgery that would allow her standard poodle, Callie, to walk again. She considered taking out a loan to cover the $4,000 it would cost for the complicated surgery and subsequent physical therapy at the vet clinic, but instead turned to social media to raise the money, WISHTV 8 News reports.
She was able to raise enough money to cover the surgery and most of the dog's physical therapy by explaining the predicament on the website giveforward.com. Donors from as far away as India took pity on Alt and her canine companion, and now Alt plans on starting a non-profit organization to help dogs in situations like Callie's.
The average cost of owning a dog is about $700 per year, according to the ASPCA. However, when a dog suffers from a knee injury or dog hip dysplasia, owners may find themselves faced with unexpected veterinary clinic bills. VCA Animal Hospitals reports that is why investing in pet insurance is a good idea for any owner. Insurance can cover treatments, surgeries, lab fees, X-rays and other veterinary procedures that are necessary to give pets the best life possible.

Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854
In 1820, Congress passed the Missouri Compromise, which admitted Missouri into the nation as a slave state and Maine as a free state. The Compromise established the latitude 36º30' N. as the dividing line for slave and free states. The Kansas-Nebraska Act overturned the Compromise. In the early 1850s, Congress considered how to incorporate the territories of Kansas and Nebraska into the nation. Slavery had become a divisive issue, and it was decided that each territory would have the right to vote on whether or not slavery would be allowed within its borders. This method was called "popular sovereignty" and led to bloody conflicts between antislavery and proslavery settlers.

The dough would be the hydration that you ended up with at the end. You might try using a mixer, or, when you knead by hand, don't worry about the dough sticking to your hands or the table - just keep kneading. If you have kneaded correctly, when you are finished the dough on your hands and table will have absorbed into the smooth ball of dough you now have before you.You can also do "stretch and folds" or "slap and folds" (bread making techniques) - as opposed to one continuous kneading session. That would also mitigate the need for extra flour as well. Search on YouTube for vids on the subject.John
Also, what are considered optimum percentages of sugar and salt for italian style and American style dough?
Does the hydration percentage refer to just the water content as I am thinking, or is it a measure of water and oil content?
HYDRATION RATIO.Water only. It doess not take into consideration any other liquids (starter,oil, honey,...)

It makes me wonder if I should try to move the crust of Macks pizza more towards a Trenton tomato pie. I really dont know how to do that, but since the Mack family did have a successful business in Trenton, NJ for many years and called their pizzas tomato pies, I wonder how successful I was in trying a Macks clone up to this date so far.
Norma,You might recall that the Trenton connection came up earlier in this thread starting at Reply 333 at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,9068.msg100260.html#msg100260, with a reference to the DeLorenzo pizzas, at least those that I tried to reverse engineer and clone in the DeLorenzo thread at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,7841.0.html and that I felt were different than the Mack clones. The Trenton-area Tomato Pie has a long and storied existence with a lineage that extends for decades. I don't know where you would start to examine the Tomato Pie and to connect what you learn to the Mack's pizzas. Unless you are a gluten for punishment, my advice to you is to lie down until the urge to research the Tomato Pie and connect what you learn to the Mack's pizza goes away .Peter
Peter,For the formulation you used at Reply 307 http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,9068.msg99472.html#msg99472 what kind of salt did you use in the expanded dough calculating tool? I want to try your formulation for a Macks clone for Tuesday since I havent tried it before. I want to make sure I also use the kind of salt you used in your formulation. Norma
Norma,It was regular table salt, much as I suspect Mack's uses.Peter

Forum tries to give answers to health care questions
MARSHALL – By now, many Minnesotans already know there are some big changes on the horizon for their health care insurance coverage. But those changes come with a lot of questions, and speakers at a community forum held in Marshall on Wednesday night said they wanted to help people get their questions answered.
"This is all about helping people get access," both to helpful information and needed health care, said Carolyn Link of the Blue Cross/Blue Shield Minnesota Foundation.
Western Community Action and the Blue Cross/Blue Shield Minnesota Foundation hosted a community forum on new health care coverage options at the Marshall-Lyon County Library. Besides offering a chance for area residents to ask questions about health coverage, speakers at the forum explained some of the basics of the Affordable Care Act and the MNsure health insurance market and spotlighted local resources to help consumers navigate them.
Western Community Action development director Allan Bakke said WCA plans to hold a series of forums on health care coverage throughout the organization's service area. WCA is currently working to organize forums in Tracy and Westbrook, he said.
Christina Wessel, deputy director of the Minnesota Budget Project, kicked off the forum by discussing how the Affordable Care Act works and how it will impact Minnesotans. The Affordable Care Act is designed to make sure more people have access to affordable, quality health insurance, Wessel said. The act creates new consumer protection measures that will help more people get coverage – for example, she said, consumers with preexisting health conditions could not be excluded from health coverage and would not be faced with higher premiums because of their condition. Wessel said the ACA also establishes a set of essential health benefits that would be covered by insurance, which covers a spectrum from emergency services and prescription drugs to mental health and preventive care.
While the changes may mean higher health insurance costs for some, Wessel said, there was also a benefit to having health insurance that actually covered consumers' health care needs. Some lower-cost plans, she said, "may have been insurance that wasn't really meeting their needs but just appeared to be cost-effective."
At the state level, Wessel said the MNsure insurance marketplace will also play a key part in helping Minnesotans get the health coverage they need. By creating a MNsure account, Minnesotans can enroll in a health plan but also find out if they are eligible for public programs like Medical Assistance or MinnesotaCare, or for financial assistance to help pay for health insurance.
Many people may not realize that they're eligible for some form of assistance in paying for health insurance, Wessel said. Adults with income up to 200 percent of the federal poverty level may be eligible for Medical Assistance or MinnesotaCare. According to 2013 figures, a family of four with about $47,000 in income would be at 200 percent of the poverty level, Wessel said. Adults with income up to 400 percent of the federal poverty level may be eligible for federal tax credits to reduce the cost of their insurance premiums.
Wessel said it was estimated that MNsure will help reduce the number of uninsured Minnesotans by 300,000.
Some of the audience questions at the forum focused on the difficulty of signing up for MNsure.
"We want to know why we can't get on the website ever," one audience member asked.
Wessel said MNsure was continuing to improve its website, although MNsure still depends on information from the federal government to make the site work.
Speaker Elaine Cunningham, of the Children's Defense Fund, said there are other resources that can help Minnesotans find and pay for health insurance. The Children's Defense Fund has an online tool called Bridge to Benefits that can help users learn if they are eligible for public programs or tax credits. The Bridge to Benefits site is at www.bridgetobenefits.org.
There are also resources specifically geared toward the MNsure system. MNsure is training certified navigators and brokers to guide consumers through the enrollment process and find health plans that work best for them. Cunningham said paper enrollment forms are also available. However, they can take a long time to process, and MNsure isn't encouraging their use.
Bakke emphasized that there are local resources to help area residents, too. Western Community Action is in the process of training nine MNsure navigators to help area consumers. Although the navigators aren't officially ready to work with the public yet, Bakke urged area residents to contact Western Community action with questions. The organization may still be able to help low- to moderate-income residents find out if they are eligible for Human Services benefits. Starting in December, Bakke said, there will also be MNsure help sessions held at the Marshall-Lyon County Library.

Skip to comments.Dungy Appearance Draws Protesters
Posted on 05/11/2007 11:37:28 AM PDT by cdga5for4
Nearly two-dozen University of Minnesota students demonstrated at an appearance by University of Minnesota alumnus and longtime NFL coach Tony Dungy at Mariucci Arena on Tuesday afternoon. Dungy played football for the Golden Gophers in the early 1970s and has coached for numerous NFL teams, most notably as head coach for the Indianapolis Colts, champions of Super Bowl XLI. He was honored by the University of Minnesota Alumni Association with an Outstanding Achievement Award presented as part of a celebration of the TCF stadium deal.
Dungy sparked a minor controversy in March when he was honored at the Indiana Family Institute and in a speech said he supported a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage and a ban on marriage-like benefits. "We're not trying to downgrade anyone else. But we're trying to promote the family -- family values the Lord's way," Dungy said at the dinner last month. His statements generated criticism among LGBT groups in Indiana and the nation.
(Excerpt) Read more at minnesotamonitor.com ...
I'm not a Colts fan, nor a Bucs fan, but this makes me mad.........
If you aren't considered the enemy by these people, then there is something wrong. Dungy is class, a word those protesters can't even spell.
Mpls/St. Paul protest community at work.
I was in college in Minnesota when Dungy was quarterbacking the Golden Gophers. He is about the best thing that ever happened to the state...and, if these students cannot see that, they should change the U. of Minnesota mascot from the gopher to the state's bird: The loon!
Diversity of opinion is one thing.......as long as it agrees with us.
It will be interesting to see how much he gets protested when his book comes out this summer. What a bunch of dopes.
Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.Ye are the salt of the earth...Matthew 5:11-13
Whoever decided to have it in the twin cities needs a brain transplant.
And Dungy is absolutely right in what he is saying.
Family, the man woman family, is why the "special considerations" are there in the first place. Its not just there for the asking amd mean people are refusing to grant them.
Libs can't stand a man of principle. This world would be a much better place with more Tony Dungys than they would be with those protesting him.
Welcome to Minnesota....land of 10,000 lakes and one damned fish!
A few years ago, my nephew's best friend was an offensive lineman for the Bucs and Tony. He'd played many years up to when Tony left the Bucs for the Colts. The friend was at the end of his career and was cut under the new coaching team.
That left him about a year between a good pension and getting a great pension (NFL's pension).
Tony got wind of this and got him a Colt's contract for one year.
Peter suited up for and played in 5 games giving him enough seniority for that better pension. And retired on his terms.
There's that famous lefty tolerance for all viewpoints.
Liberals love free speech, as long as you don't say something they don't like........
Isn't it interesting that vitually all of our greatest enemies and detractors are reknown for their lack of ability to create or be productive? The entire Middle East, sans oil and Isreal, has the GDP of Belgium. Liberals rail against virtually any and all energy production. Environmentalists oppose construction of almost any kind. Democrats incessantly seek to weaken our military greatness. Urban culture eschews and belittles educational paths to success. Pro-choice folk seek the destroy those "mere cells" that are busy creating a miracle. Unions organize to minimize productivity and profitability. The Brady crowd wants to prevent me from being able to protect myself and others, thus minimizing the protective shield that civil society needs. The media has done an exceptional job of ensuring that no group of productive or helpful people can gain and hold the trust of others.
It is always easier to destroy than create. Creation always takes time and great effort.
... Oh, yeah, we also want to hijack all public forums and shout down anyone whom we perceive as being not completely on our side."
if it makes you feel any better, that's a whopping .00000796% of the population of the US protesting...
The press conference these rabble-rousers regularly receive is far out of proportion to their numbers. You could have a gathering of 5,000 people for a speech but if five freaks show up with signs and chants, that is all you ready about the next day in the papers.
A wild chimpanzee male will intimidate his fellow rivals for the troop leadership by breaking off tree branches and shaking them at the other males to make it seem like he is bigger and badder than they are. This is no different.........
You mean I caught them all? Never a shortage when gramps took me fishing! Mmmmmm, bullheads... :)
I recently read an article about Dungy in S.I. He's truly an incredibly classy person. You may need some tissues:
THAT many? Wow, what a crowd! I wonder how many were in the crowd who came expressly because they DID like him? I guess they were not worthy of mention.
This goober can't seem to see the inconsistencey in her own statement. Has the University REFUSED to honor any of Ms. Hays compatriots? I seriesly doubt it, so why fuss when someone with a DIVERSE opinion is honored?
Maybe it looked like this.
It's apparently been very windy and very low humidity up there. And there was a massive blow-down of trees there seven or eight years ago, and the evnviro-whackos wouldn't let logging companies go in and clean it up, so there's assloads of fuel to keep the fire going.
I remember the blow down story. Pity that some enterprising paper mill couldn't make a few zillion rolls of Brawny Towels for Sheryl Crow.
Good post.
I seen Coach Dungy last week in Indianapolis. He has a great message to share and does it with great experiences from his past. Yes he is a classy man! He brought the trophy with him, too!!
But the libs don't mind the gov. in our bank accounts!
Maybe ping tomorrow!
They couldn't even get 24 measly people? Tony should be proud people like that are opposing him. These are the left wing nuts that want to destroy the family by ruining marriage and aborting the children. If only there were more Tony Dungys in the world. Tony is a class act, and I root for the Colts along with the home team every year.
Now, supporting traditional marriage or having certain religious views against homosexual behavior will result in harrassment by homosexuals and their allies, no matter how they are presented.

By Dr Ananya Mandal, MD
Gestational diabetes is a form of diabetes that affects pregnant women. Like other forms of diabetes mellitus, the condition leads to a raised blood sugar level.
The islet cells of the pancreas normally produce a hormone called insulin, a hormone that helps the body regulate blood sugar and use it as a source of energy. The two main types of diabetes are type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes. In type 1 diabetes, the body produces no insulin and symptoms usually manifest early on in life. This condition is also referred to as juvenile diabetes or early-onset diabetes. In type 2 diabetes, the body fails to produce enough insulin to meet its requirements and/or or the cells of the body do not respond adequately to the amount of insulin produced by the pancreas.
In gestational diabetes, a pregnant woman's blood sugar level is higher than it usually is and too little insulin is produced to stimulate adequate uptake of glucose from the bloodstream by cells. The level of glucose in the blood therefore remains high.
Around two to five percent of pregnant women in England and Wales have diabetes. Mostly, these women have is gestational diabetes, although some may also have type 1 or type 2 diabetes.
Gestational diabetes can be diagnosed by routine blood sugar testing. The tests used to check for diabetes include fasting blood glucose, which measures the blood sugar around eight hours after the last meal; post prandial blood glucose, which measures blood sugar two hours after a meal and glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), which helps determine blood glucose control over the previous three months.
Gestational diabetes can usually be controlled by managing the diet and taking regular exercise. However, some women may require medications such as insulin or metformin to bring their blood sugar level under control. It is important to detect and diagnose gestational diabetes as this condition can lead to birth complications such as premature birth, placental abruption, macrosomia and low blood sugar in the newborn.

Stanley Named Indoor Male Athlete of the Year
B.J. Hoeptner Evans
Manager, Media Relations and Publications
Phone: (719) 228-6800
E-Mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Dec. 7, 2010) – Clay Stanley (Honolulu, Hawaii) has been named the USA Volleyball Indoor Male Athlete of the Year for 2010 and has been nominated for the United States Olympic Committee SportsMan of the Year.
Stanley, 32, who plays opposite for the U.S. Men's National Volleyball Team, is a two-time Olympian who won a gold medal and was named the tournament Most Valuable Player at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing.
In 2010, Stanley was the team's leading scorer, finishing with 252 points (3.82 points per set) on 191 kills, 28 blocks and 38 aces according to the team's DataVolley statistics. He also led the United States in kills (2.89 per set, 42.9 kill percentage) and aces (0.5 per set).
"What people don't know about Clay is that he provides his leadership to the team with his work ethic," said U.S. Men's Head Coach Alan Knipe (Huntington Beach, Calif.). "He is ready to work hard all practice long, no matter what we are working on; the same with matches and the same with the weight room."
Stanley played every set (33) of every match (9) for the United States at the 2010 FIVB World Championship in Italy, where the U.S. Men finished sixth, their best showing since 1994.
The FIVB named Stanley the tournament's Best Server, crediting him with 23 aces and 36 faults on 155 attempts for an average of 0.70 aces per set.
He was also the United States' leading scorer at the World Championship and sixth overall, finishing with 150 points on 109 kills, 18 blocks and 23 aces. His 18 blocks tied him for the team lead with David Lee (Alpine, Calif.) and he was 11th among all blockers with an average of 0.55 blocks per set.
Stanley was also second on the team in digs at the World Championship with 51 and 21 faults in 79 attempts for an average of 1.55 digs per set.
Stanley was also the team's leading scorer at the 2010 FIVB World League, despite missing the first four matches. Stanley played in 33 sets and finished with 113 points, good enough for 31st among league players. He was also the team leader in points per set with 3.42. His 2.76 kills per set was the team's second highest and he posted the team-high 91 kills.
He tallied 12 aces (0.24 per set) and 10 stuff blocks (0.24 per set) while also posting 14 digs (0.35 per set).
The U.S. Men finished second in their pool at World League and eighth overall.
Stanley is currently playing for Ural Ufa in the Russian Super League. He joined the U.S. Men's Team in 2000 after playing collegiately at Hawaii.
USA Volleyball will announce its selections Beach Male Athlete, Beach Female Athlete, Female Paralympic, Male Paralympic Athletes of the Year and Teams of the Year through Dec. 14.
U.S. Women's Natonal Team libero Stacy Sykora was named the USA Volleyball Indoor Female Athlete of the Year for 2010.

Northrop Grumman Working on Triton Radar System
Northrop Grumman is flight testing a radar system that will provide its Triton unmanned aircraft system (UAS) with 360-degree views of ocean and coastal regions.
(Triton UAS. Photo, courtesy of Northrop Grumman.)
Currently the manufacturer is using a Gulfstream II surrogate aircraft to perform "risk-reduction tests" of the Multi-Function Active Sensor (MFAS) off the California coast-line. The active, electronically and mechanically scanned array radar uses a combination of electronic scanning and mechanical rotation to allow the radar to provide maritime surveillance for smaller targets.
"Surrogate flights have allowed us to mature the MFAS radar's capabilities and merge the data with information received from other sensors and equipment that will also be used on Triton," said Mike Mackey, director of the Triton UAS program at Northrop Grumman. "By gathering this information in real and simulated environments, we can refine how an operator sees data while tasking the system in flight."
When completed, the Triton's full sensor suite will have the capability to monitor up to 2,000 nautical miles at a time, according to a statement from Northrop Grumman.
Flight tests of the radar system will continue through the end of this year, with Northrop planning to install the MFAS on its first test Triton aircraft in the Spring of 2014 to allow for further onboard testing.
The company is under contract to produce 68 Triton aircraft to replace the Navy's aging fleet of maritime patrol aircraft.
