Raw Oysters on the Half Shell
- 24 oysters, such as Malpeque, Kumamoto, or Belon
- Crushed ice or rock salt
- Cucumber Mignonette Sauce, recipe follows
Scrub the oysters under cold water with a stiff brush to remove the dirt, especially in the hinge area where mud has a tendency to get trapped. Next, find a durable thick cloth and fold it over several times to create a square; this will steady the oysters as you shuck them and also protect your hand. Using the towel as a mitt, place the oyster, cup-side down in the palm of your towel-covered hand with the hinge facing you; have a small bowl handy to catch the delicious juice. Insert the tip of an oyster knife or dull butter knife as far into the hinge as it will go; don't jab it in there or you could break the shell. With gentle force, twist the knife back and forth to pry the shell open. Using the knife, cut the muscle away from the top shell, bend the shell back, and discard it. Run the knife underneath the oyster to detach it completely, but leave it in its shell. Tip out the briny liquor into the bowl and pour it back over the shucked oysters. Nestle the oysters in a bed of crushed ice or rock salt to keep them steady. Spoon the cucumber mignonette on top and serve as part of a raw shellfish bar.
1 cup rice wine vinegar
1 shallot, minced
1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated
1/2 hothouse cucumber, peeled and minced
Several turns freshly ground black pepper
1 handful fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
In a small bowl, combine the rice wine vinegar, shallots, ginger, cucumber, black pepper, and cilantro; mixing with a fork. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour or up to the day before you plan to serve, to allow the flavors to come together. Serve with raw oysters and clams.
Yield: 1 cup
Contains Shellfish: Consumption of raw or undercooked shellfish may substantially increase the risk of foodborne illness.

Jammers 'raise it' in dramatic fashion
JAMESTOWN, N.Y. – Sometimes you have to win ugly.
Despite not having its best pitching performances on Friday, Jamestown found a way to string together enough hits for a 10-9, 10-inning victory over the Connecticut Tigers, at Diethrick Park.
The Jammers (19-12) won the rubber match of the three-game set and did so in dramatic fashion. Jamestown tied the game with a two-out Erich Weiss RBI triple in the bottom of the ninth before winning the game on a Jeff Roy two-out walk-off single in the bottom of the 10th.
Offense wasn't the problem on this night with Jamestown putting plenty of runs on the scoreboard. Many of those runs came early with a six-run first inning outburst.
After the Tigers took a 1-0 lead on Jammers starter Isaac Sanchez, Jamestown's bats went to work. Harold Ramirez started a strong night at the plate with a two-run single that scored JaCoby Jones and Michael Fransoso, giving Jamestown a 2-1 lead.
The margin was extended later in the inning after an RBI double from Danny Collins and a two-run single from Edwin Espinal. Adam Frazier's two-out run-scoring single made it 6-1 hosts after an inning.
The Tigers (12-19) wouldn't stay down long, scoring three unanswered runs to get within 6-4 after three and a half frames. Jamestown stopped the bleeding in the bottom of the fourth when Weiss tripled and later scored on Dave Valesente's RBI single.
Connecticut cut the lead to 7-6 in the top of the fifth only to watch the Jammers stretch the advantage back to two on Ramirez's one-out solo shot in the bottom of the fifth.
Connecticut completed the comeback in the top of the sixth with a three-run inning that gave it a 9-8 edge. An RBI single from Curt Powell and an RBI double from Dominic Ficociello tied the game at 8-8 and Ben Verlander – younger brother of Detroit Tigers ace Justin Verlander – provided the go-ahead hit with an RBI single that scored Ficociello.
Jamestown refused to go quietly, rallying for a run in the bottom of the ninth to force extra innings. An error kept the Jammers alive with two outs and Weiss came to the plate trying to extend the game. He did so with a line drive triple to right, scoring Elvis Escobar and tying the contest at 9-9.
Kurt Yacko tossed a nifty top of the 10th for Jamestown, setting up the Jammers with the opportunity to walk off in the bottom of the inning.
Frazier led off with a single and moved to second on Jones' walk. Moments later, both runners moved up 90 feet after a pickoff attempt at first was thrown wide of the target. The Tigers walked Fransoso intentionally to load the bases with still nobody out.
Things started to look bleak for the Jammers after back-to-back strikeouts from Ramirez and Collins. However, with two out, Roy stepped the plate, depositing a pitch into center, scoring Frazier and allowing Jamestown to extend its New York-Penn League Pinckney Division lead.
Weiss led the winners with a team-best four hits. Roy added three hits of his own and Frazier and Ramirez added two hits apiece. Ramirez drove home a team-best three runs.
The starter, Sanchez, allowed two runs on two hits with three walks in three innings of work. Relievers Henry Hirsch and Jared Lakind had the most trouble out of the Jamestown bullpen, combining to allow seven runs on eight hits in two and two-thirds innings of work. Yacko earned his second win with an inning of one-hit ball.
The Jammers return to action at 7:05 p.m., Saturday, hosting the Aberdeen Ironbirds of the NYPL McNamara Division in the opener of a three-game series.
Connecticut 101 223 000 0 – 9 12 5
Jamestown 600 110 001 1 – 10 15 1

Chocolate Ice Cream
- 1 1/2 ounces unsweetened cocoa powder, approximately 1/2 cup
- 3 cups half-and-half
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 8 large egg yolks
- 9 ounces sugar
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
DirectionsWatch how to make this recipe.
Place the cocoa powder along with 1 cup of the half-and-half into a medium saucepan over medium heat and whisk to combine. Add the remaining half-and-half and the heavy cream. Bring the mixture just to a simmer, stirring occasionally, and remove from the heat.
In a medium mixing bowl whisk the egg yolks until they lighten in color. Gradually add the sugar and whisk to combine. Temper the cream mixture into the eggs and sugar by gradually adding small amounts, until about 1/3 of the cream mixture has been added. Pour in the remainder and return the entire mixture to the saucepan and place over low heat. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon and reaches 170 to 175 degrees F. Pour the mixture into a container and allow to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. Stir in the vanilla extract. Place the mixture into the refrigerator and once it is cool enough not to form condensation on the lid, cover and store for 4 to 8 hours or until the temperature reaches 40 degrees F or below.
Pour into an ice cream maker and process according to the manufacturer's directions. This should take approximately 25 to 35 minutes. Serve as is for soft serve or freeze for another 3 to 4 hours to allow the ice cream to harden.

In this tutorial you will learn how to quickly create the demodb CUBRID demo database which comes with every installation of CUBRID. This assumes that you do not have demodb database already installed, which is usually automatically installed during CUBRID installation. If you have it installed, follow Getting started with demodb guide.
Note: For Ubuntu demodb can be installed using sudo apt-get cubrid-demodb (Installing CUBRID on Ubuntu)
The demodb database files are included in CUBRID binaries. Therefore when you install CUBRID, the demodb files can be found in /demo directory inside the directly where you installed CUBRID. To find where CUBRID has been installed type $CUBRID in the command line. This will give you the directory where CUBRID files reside.
In the /demo directory you will find two files:
Before creating any database, you need to decide in which directory you would like to keep its files. In this tutorial let's assume we want to keep files for this database in our user's home directory in "CUBRID_databases" directory.
cd ~ mkdir CUBRID_databases cd CUBRID_databases mkdir demodb cd demodb
Now run the following command when you are in /demodb directory to create the demodb database.
cubrid createdb --db-volume-size=100M --log-volume-size=100M demodb
This will create the demodb database and allocate 100 megabytes of disk space (DB Volume) for it. For this demo database 100M is enough. For other databases you create, you can adjust these values. See Creating Database manual page.
Now load both demodb_schema and demodb_objects files into the newly created demodb database.
cubrid loaddb -u dba -s $CUBRID/demo/demodb_schema -d $CUBRID/demo/demodb_objects demodb
This will load all the demodb database's data into CUBRID Server. dba will become the owner of this database with a blank password.
Congratulations! Now CUBRID demodb database has been loaded and ready to be explored!
At this moment you may want to continue to Getting started with demodb tutorial.

Let's support LGBT in Harrisville Saturday
The recent U.S. Supreme Court rulings about same-sex marriage are part of a national trend toward proving equal rights for lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, and transgender (LGBT) people. Sadly though, Michigan is in the dark ages on this issue. Our state constitution, which should protect rights, instead takes away rights for same-sex couples. Even worse, in Michigan a person can be fired from their job simply based on sexual orientation. One ray of hope is that there will be a marriage equality festival in Harrisville on Saturday, August 17 with a nationally known keynote speaker at 1:30 pm. I hope people will attend to learn more about the issue and show their support for LGBT persons. I'm sure there will be signs in Harrisville pointing the way to the event.

Kind of old news... but still interesting...
Malaysia 'teapot cult' attacked
Last Updated: Monday, 18 July, 2005, 06:52 GMT 07:52 UK
Arsonists have attacked the base of a small inter-faith sect in Malaysia called the Sky Kingdom.
The sect is noted for building a giant teapot to symbolise its belief in the healing purity of water, and is accused of luring Muslims away from Islam.
A lawyer for the sect, Haris Mohamad Ibrahim, said that about 30 armed men dressed in Arab robes had attacked the commune with Molotov cocktails.
No-one was injured in the attack, which caused a small fire.
"The roof of the teapot structure is... slightly charred, but since it is made of concrete, the damage is not extensive," firefighter Ahmad Fakarudin told Reuters news agency.
Police raid
The sect - based in the strongly Muslim state of Terengganu - claims to promote harmony between religious groups.

Leader Ayah Pin believes he can save the world
Its leader, Ayah Pin, says he is the saviour of the world.
He has attracted believers from many different religious groups with his message of love and tolerance. He claims to allow his followers to be members of any faith, including Islam.
Earlier this month, the group was raided by police, and 21 followers were arrested for possessing documents contrary to Islam. They were all freed on bail pending a court appearance in September.
Members have been jailed in the past for attempting to renounce Islam, and the group's bizarre constructions have been deemed to be against local regulations.
The group's controversial structures are said to combine architectural elements from Islam, Christianity, Hinduism and Buddhism.

Despite all the studies and articles about the inefficiency of lecturing we seem to be addicted to the habit. I freely admit that I don't always practice what I preach but the format and location of most conferences make the traditional lecture almost unavoidable. It's rather amusing how many conferences I've attended on subjects like innovative pedagogy or future learning spaces that are based almost exclusively around lectures and the dreaded panel debates. Indeed I've listened to extremely boring lectures about innovative pedagogy.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Second time running this and will be back next year again!In full: I ran the marathon last year and the half this year and have loved both races. The half is a tough race but with fantastic scenery and great marshalling and organisation. The only problem this year was a 10 minute wait to cross a style at approx 3 miles but I was glad of the breather really as had just gone up a very very steep hill! Well worth travelling from London for and a 'proper' goody bag at the end with Goodness Shakes milkshake and nice medal. Highly recommended!Date of review: June 13, 2012
In short: A challenge but an event to make you smile (afterwards!)In full: As always with Endurancelife events, this was a great day out. Fantastic atmosphere and friendly helpful organisers and I came away immediately wanting to sign up to the next. The course was expectedly tough and there were some technical sections where the terrain was tricky but the camraderie during these races is something rarely seen during a clubby road race. The terrain and windy conditions means there is no chance of a pb - I think the average half marathon time is 2hrs 20 mins - but the scenery is amazing and the air so fresh. Showers at the end would have been nice as many travel a long way to the coastal races but apart from that no other grumbles!Date of review: January 24, 2012
In short: Tough race, not enough capacity for runners at the start, but great atmosphere.In full: This was my 3rd time running and I always forget how tough it is - consistently undulating and overall uphill as the finish is higher than the start. The start was very congested as the 3000+ runners had to line up in a castle tunnel which meant 3 minutes to cross the line (and we were middle to front of the pack), this eased by about 2 miles and there was plenty of space after this due to roads having been closed. The race is a friendly one and has a really good atmosphere about it. The climb up to the finish was hard work for the legs but I was on a definite high after this race. A good mix of club runners and beginners.Date of review: June 13, 2011
In short: Great race but with some organisational problems at the start which could be ironed outIn full: I am local but this is the first year I ran this race. The course was really nice and some challenging inclines to keep it interesting. The stretch of Greenway at the end was enjoyable and was a nice break from the road pounding...Marshalls were great and there were lots of water and toilet stops on the way round. The start however was a little problematic, with spectators in amongst the competitors causing a lot of congestion. It took me two minutes to cross the mat and the first two miles were pretty slow dodging slower runners - because the field is quite big for such a small start area organising runners into expected finish times would have helped as would keeping specatators away from the start line. Aside from that it was very enjoyable and I will be returning!Date of review: May 9, 2011
In short: Hilly, challenging course but great atmosphere and excellent for marathon trainingIn full: First time at Oakley and it didn't disappoint. Not so good points: busy at the start - long queues for toilets and baggage and most of the parking was over half a mile away and not particuarly organised, not really a pb course because of the constantly varying terrain.Good points: lovely countryside, fantastic marshalling (and lots of them), really good atmosphere full of friendly runners, challenging so good marathon prep. I was pretty much destroyed at the end but had a really good day out overall!Date of review: March 27, 2011
In short: One to do again and againIn full: This was my second time running and I had forgotten quite how relentless those hills were. Saying that the first half is harder than the second half and the last 2-3 miles were pretty quick so I made up some of the time I had lost on the hills. Some more toilets for the females and a little more in the goody bag would make it perfect !Date of review: March 7, 2011
In short: Enjoyable if a little congested at the startIn full: I enjoyed this race - the scenery and organisation were good although the start was too busy and my first mile was very slow. Almost broke my ankle on a stray rock in the first mile but can't really blame Bedford for that! They ran out of XS and S sized rugby shirts which was annoying as lots of people who ordered a S ended up with M or L (not ideal for smaller girls!) but have to say it is a nice shirt and far better than tshirts for this time of year :-) I would definitely do it again as long as it doesn't get any bigger/busier. The course was very pleasant and second half was easier than the first although I didn't find any part of that hilly. It was a bit too cold to have many spectators out cheering us on which of course always makes a difference to atmosphere but all in all a nice race...now I feel deserving of my christmas pud.Date of review: December 13, 2010
In short: Pleasant route and gently undulating, great marshalling.In full: It was pretty windy today which made it tough to pb due to long open stretches running into wind. As for the hills/undulations there was nothing that I felt was too steep to slow me down, but similarly found it difficult to gain time on the gentle downhill at the end (probably because I wasn't really fit enough for this today!). Really enjoyed the race, I've seen better scenery which is why i only gave it a 3, but overall nice course and great marshalls. Something extra at the water station (jelly babies?) would give it a nice touch. Only real gripe is the fact that I had to stick with medium top at the end and it's a unisex medium which swamps me!!! Definitely be back next year :-)Date of review: November 21, 2010
In short: A must-do trail race. Excellent!In full: Great organisation start and finish and all aid stations. Only recommendation for next year is to push the rubbish bags a bit further from the station as not enough time to drink enough before getting to the bins. I loved this race and the organisers did a great job all round. Beautiful scenery but very tough hills! Will be back next year for sure. Having three waves worked really well too. Date of review: June 12, 2010
In short: Run it for the atmosphere not a pb!In full: You have to do it to say you have "run London"! Just don't go there expecting to run a pb or a strict 26.2 miles. I ran an extra 1/2 mile with all the overtaking, but quickly learned that this isn't a fast course. The hardest thing to deal with was groups of runners as it was hard to overtake, and people should not moving to the side if they are walking. The support was amazing though and will definitely run it again only next time I will go for the enjoyment and use another race to get that pb!Date of review: April 30, 2010

China King, where the customer is king
I just made that subject up. I should go into advertising.
My lovely wife and I visited China King on Friday. There are several tables for eating in, but it's a typical take-out place where you order at the counter and you can see the workers engulfed in steam as the rice cooks. I have been to CK many times and I don't recall anyone really having a sit-down meal there, and we took our food home to eat.
So anyway, Lovely Wife got General Tso's Chicken, and CK does that really well, but I had a taste yesterday for soup and veggies. So, I ordered chow mein and the House Special soup. Don't ask what's in this soup. Likewise, don't ask what's in an egg roll. Basically, everything but the kitchen sink goes into certain menu items, but that's why we like them.
Twice in my life, and it's so cool that I remember, I got a fortune cookie that said, "You will attend a party where strange customs prevail." Yesterday's fortune was something about not starting anything new, not so cool, oh well.
CK is downstairs at Packett's Landing, near the shop of my good buddy Zeki the tailor. OK, so Zeki doesn't know that we are good buddies, and I have never bought him a beer like Bandanaman does for his good buddies. But I have visited Zeki many times for alterations and such, and I found myself back at Packett's Landing on Saturday, at Zeki's, with three pairs of pants. A couple weeks ago, Lovely Wife was shopping without me when the pants went on sale, and she thought they were a good deal. I suppose we got some extra fabric for the price, because I need Zeki to shorten them for me.

This series will examine the Olympic challenge for which there is no gold medal: traveling with cumbersome sports equipment.
For 10 years, Kim Kreiner, the American record holder in women's javelin has had to travel with a set of 7-foot long spears that weigh just over one pound each.
They're too tall and too thin for designer luggage but Kreiner discovered the next-best thing: plumbing tubes.
"I just cut it to length and made my own carrying tube," she said. "It's a three-inch diameter PVC pipe with a screw top and bottom. It cost me between $5 and $7 and I haven't had to replace it in three years."
It accommodates three javelins and fits tightly enough so they don't bounce around. "The only way airlines could wreck them would be to saw my tube in half or bend it," she said.
The exterior is black, studded with stickers, and bears Kreiner's Fresno, Calif., phone number because, she said, "something always gets lost with me - either my bag or my javelins.
"In 2006, I went to Brazil and the javelins didn't make it, even though I had a five-hour layover in L.A." After four days, they re-surfaced, but it was too late - "so I just borrowed," she said.
Borrowing a javelin is possible because its architecture is extremely specific. Rules mandate lengths and widths. Grips must be a particular distance from the tip. And a formula dictates how to center the balance point. During competition, officials weigh and inspect the implements to make sure they're the same.
"The only way a person can customize a javelin is with a paint job," Kreiner said.
At major international meets, the host organizer will provide javelins but at smaller meets they don't. Still, there's nothing better than hurling a familiar object.
"Most of the time, the airlines will take them," she said, adding that women's javelins can also fit on prop planes because they are up to 20 inches shorter than the men's.
"It makes a big difference on a plane," Kreiner said.
Unlike Kreiner, flatwater kayaker Carrie Johnson only has to travel with half of her gear.
"We're just responsible for bringing our paddles," she said. (The US team's coach drives the kayaks from race to race.)
Some paddle shafts are made to break apart, but Johnson's require no assembly.
She usually tucks two of them into hard ski case. The paddles just fit lengthwise and she puts jackets around the shafts to fill up the extra space.
"The airlines have allowances for sports equipment, but paddles aren't usually listed," she explained. "I'm always hoping because it's in a ski case, they won't say anything."
Another tip: "Sometimes, if you have a USA shirt on, the checker will be a little more lenient with you."
Then, there's the mother of all freight migraines: the pole vaulting pole.
"It's an absolute nightmare," said Rick Suhr, who coaches Jenn Stuczynski, the 2007 US national champion. "It's the hardest part of my job.
"Only about a third of all airlines will even take a pole. Men's poles are 17 feet long. Jenn's are about 14 ½ feet. I know someone whose poles were cut in half by the airline to make them fit.
"You never want to ship the poles, either," Suhr said. "If you do, half the time you'll never see them again."
"It's pretty hard to borrow one," Stuczynski said. Unlike javelins, poles can be any length, diameter, and made of any smooth material. "You'd have to find someone the same height and weight who jumps with a similar style. It's tricky."
So is maneuvering around the airport with a bag of seven poles on one's shoulder.
"I stand back with the luggage and follow [Rick] when he turns corners so no one gets hit," Stuczynski said. "It's such a process. At JFK, you get off the air train and instead of taking the winding stairway, you have to hand them straight down. You're sweating. It's something you dread every time.
"The hardest thing is automated doors," she said. "You have to get through the sensor right away. Half the time they close on you."
"Try getting them through the X-ray machine!" Suhr said.
"At the check-in counter, right away, they say, 'That's not going to work.' Then customs officer comes over and says, 'What is it?' Then security, and so on," Suhr said.
"Every airline has a different policy, too. Some carriers will only take 14, 15, or 16 poles total. Some will only take one pole. Some will only take one pole in one case. They'll even pull poles out [of the bag to comply with their peculiar rules], that's how crazy it's become," he said.
Then the labyrinth begins. They are often directed to alternate routes through the airport because no one from the airlines wants to carry a 50-pound bag of poles either.
"You find places in airports that you didn't even know existed," Stuczynski said.
Add to that, the aeronautical research that goes into trip planning. Suhr keeps a list - not just of airlines - but of the particular planes in which the poles can fit.
"If it's not a 737 or bigger you can't put poles on them," he said. "It really limits how and when you can travel."
For Stuczynski and Suhr to travel (with poles) from their training base in Rochester, N.Y., for the 2008 Indoor World Championships in Spain, the most expedient option included a 12-hour layover in Philadelphia.
"There was no way around it," Suhr said.
What happens when they land in Europe?
"Oh man," Stuczynski said. "In Munich and Monaco, the airport is 45 minutes from where we stay. We have the taxi number of a guy we found who will take them.
If they rent a car, there's rarely a roof rack.
"Every pole vaulter travels with straps," Stuczynski said. "We can attach them to anything, even a Smart Car.

Oral Questions
11:50 a.m.
Maxime Bernier Minister of Industry
Mr. Speaker, I am happy to tell my hon. colleague, whom I thank for his question, that the Lévis shipyard is up and running thanks to the private sector and free enterprise. As you know, we believe in creating wealth through free enterprise, and if we receive a request for additional government funding, we will consider it in due course.
Oral Questions
11:50 a.m.
Scott Simms Bonavista—Gander—Grand Falls—Windsor, NL
Mr. Speaker, last week at a summit on fisheries in Newfoundland and Labrador, hosted by our premier, the vast majority of stakeholders, including local plant workers and of course the leadership of the FFAW, all called for an early retirement program for our aging workforce.
The Conservatives say they want to study the option more, but the studies have been done. Great suggestions have been made.
Meanwhile, the province says yes and the Conservatives continue to say no to our fishermen.
Oral Questions
11:50 a.m.
St. John's South—Mount Pearl
Newfoundland & Labrador
Loyola Hearn Minister of Fisheries and Oceans
Mr. Speaker, I am not sure if there is a question, but I think I know what the hon. gentleman is saying.
I will just let him know from the position where I sit that we had a program for taking older workers out of the fishery. Many of the fishermen could not retire because they would lose their investment due to no break in capital gains.
We brought in a program that his government did not. The funny thing about it is that older fishermen can now retire, sell off their enterprises and not have a clawback by government.
The question I would ask is this: why did the hon. gentleman not support it?
Oral Questions
11:50 a.m.
Mike Allen Tobique—Mactaquac, NB
Mr. Speaker, veterans and civilians who were subject to the spraying of agent orange and other chemicals at Gagetown, New Brunswick, know that, unlike the previous government, this government is committed to resolving this issue.
I know that many veterans and civilians in my riding of Tobique--Mactaquac are very concerned about the outcome of this case. While reports out this week examine what may have happened, we know there is still work to be done. Can the Minister of Veterans Affairs update the House on the issue of agent orange in Gagetown?
Oral Questions
11:55 a.m.
Betty Hinton Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Veterans Affairs
Mr. Speaker, unlike the successive Liberal governments that have swept this issue under the rug, our government is taking action. The Prime Minister has made it clear that he wants a resolution. It is going to be a knowledge based solution. That is why we are doing the kinds of reports that were released on Thursday, June 1 in the House.
Veterans Affairs Canada is working closely with DND to develop compensation options. Our government remains firmly dedicated to addressing the concerns raised by Canadian Forces members, veterans, civilians and area residents about herbicide use at the New Brunswick training base.
Federal Accountability Act
Oral Questions
11:55 a.m.
Paul Dewar Ottawa Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, we are in the process of debating the federal accountability act, part of which deals with measures to protect whistleblowers.
Joanna Gualtieri is one of those public servants who, through her disclosure of gross mismanagement of funds, has saved taxpayers millions of dollars, yet she continues to be harassed through the courts, causing her serious financial hardship and emotional distress.
I would like to ask the President of the Treasury Board again to give his assurance that the government's court action against Joanna will be dropped immediately.
Federal Accountability Act
Oral Questions
11:55 a.m.
Pierre Poilievre Parliamentary Secretary to the President of the Treasury Board
Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for his hard work on behalf of whistleblowers and public servants.
In fact, the corruption that Ms. Gualtieri exposed was corruption of the previous Liberal government and the litigation in which she is now involved is also litigation of a previous government. That litigation is currently under review.
Luckily we now have an accountability act before committee that is the toughest anti-corruption law in Canadian history. It will protect whistleblowers and it will make it a criminal offence, punishable by jail time, for those people who punish whistleblowers in the way that the Liberals consistently bullied our public servants.
Federal Accountability Act
Oral Questions
11:55 a.m.
Paul Dewar Ottawa Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, it was on May 5 that I asked the Treasury Board president if he was prepared to give his assurances that the government will drop all court cases against past whistleblowers and compensate those who are proven to be correct.
I would like to ask for a timeframe that Ms. Gualtieri can expect so she can get her life back. This is not so much to ask from someone who simply acted ethically and did the right thing in disclosing the waste of millions of dollars at taxpayers' expense.
Federal Accountability Act
Oral Questions
11:55 a.m.
Pierre Poilievre Parliamentary Secretary to the President of the Treasury Board
Mr. Speaker, the member is correct that Ms. Gualtieri did expose millions of dollars' worth of Liberal corruption. The litigation in which she is now engaged is litigation of that previous government. That litigation is now under review.
What is critically important, though, is that whistleblowers be protected as soon as possible. That is why I am so disappointed to see a coalition of the Liberals and the Bloc working to block the passage of the accountability act before summer. The real question is this: why will all members of the House of Commons not begin to work together now so that we can pass whistleblower protection into law immediately?
Oral Questions
11:55 a.m.
Scott Simms Bonavista—Gander—Grand Falls—Windsor, NL
Hopefully with a little more success this time, Mr. Speaker.
When the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans was a member of the Standing Committee on Fisheries and Oceans, he tabled a report demanding a limited fishery off the northeast coast of Newfoundland.
The rural fishing communities are facing a tough summer, as I am sure he knows, and it is the time for my hon. colleague not to be, once again, a jellyfish on this issue. Now is the time for a 5,000 tonne commercial catch and "yes" to a recreational food fishery for the northeast coast of Newfoundland. When will this happen?
Oral Questions
11:55 a.m.
St. John's South—Mount Pearl
Newfoundland & Labrador
Loyola Hearn Minister of Fisheries and Oceans
Mr. Speaker, let me tell the George Baker wannabe who floundered around on his first question that last year we brought the standing committee to Newfoundland to get input from the people so that a sound decision could be made.
That very member walked out of the committee meeting to try to scuttle bringing the committee to the province and to let the Liberal Party send in its goons. The only thing was that one of the goons was a good goon and he supported us. We went to Newfoundland and got the information we needed and we will make the decision at the appropriate time.
Oral Questions
June 2nd, 2006 / 11:55 a.m.
Bev Shipley Lambton—Kent—Middlesex, ON
Mr. Speaker, agriculture and agrifood is one of the largest industries in Canada. New technologies are emerging that will make this sector even more efficient and environmentally friendly. The industry's successes are a very visible source of national pride.
Can the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food tell us of any recent science and technology investments in agriculture and agrifood?
Oral Questions
Chilliwack—Fraser Canyon
Chuck Strahl Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food and Minister for the Canadian Wheat Board
Mr. Speaker, I was pleased to announce our new science strategy earlier this week in Montreal. Not only does this new science and technology strategy ensure that we will have a strong national network of agricultural research stations and world class laboratories, but this new initiative will build partnerships among governments, academia and industry to increase value added options for the agriculture sector.
Whether it is development of new, healthy food products, securing the safety of our food supply, securing access to foreign markets or developing biofuels, our new science strategy is part and parcel of our commitment to increase opportunities and increase income for Canadian farmers.
Canada Elections Act
Oral Questions
Charlie Angus Timmins—James Bay, ON
Mr. Speaker, this week one of the potential leaders of the Liberal Party of Canada had to give back money he had taken from schoolchildren. What is astounding about this, though, is that the Liberal Party of Canada condones the practice of shaking down kids for their lunch money.
As the father of three youngsters, I am very concerned that one of the leadership candidates lurking out there might try to put the touch on one of my kids for cash. Will the government make a revision to the Canada Elections Act which would guarantee that no potential Liberal leadership candidate will be allowed within 500 metres of a school, a kindergarten or an amusement arcade?
Canada Elections Act
Oral Questions
Pierre Poilievre Parliamentary Secretary to the President of the Treasury Board
Mr. Speaker, now that I have finished applauding the member's question, I would like to try answering it.
We are against the Liberal practice of shaking down kids at lemonade stands. We are pushing for swift passage of the accountability act, which reins in the kind of irresponsible anti-kid approach to raising funds that we have seen from the Liberal Party of Canada.
In fact, I applaud the member and his party for working with the Conservatives to pass swiftly the accountability act. I for one can say that as a member of that committee I will support any amendment to stop this obscene practice of picking on our school kids.

Which tomatoes do you use?
6-1 tomatoes, w/ salt, sugar, oregano, black pepper and hint of garlic powder or not.
I've tried quite a few canned tomatos. 6-1 stands heads and shoulders above most I've tried. I buy them by the case in my local store.
All opinion and personal taste, but this is really close to my sauce. I don't add sugar, as I find the 6-1 tomatoes sweet enough for my taste, but I do add some basil. But to answer your question, "what is best sauce mix?" only you can determine that. 6-1 tomatoes are a good place to start the experiment.
Cento Italian in the 35oz can. Look for cans that say ROA1 PELATI on the bottom.
Sorry to be dumb, but what does the 6 -1 stand for?Mark

The Digital Skeptic: Outdoors Industry Wins Where Web Can't Follow
BOYNE CITY, Mich ( TheStreet) -- John and Shari Thompson wonder what the mountain of Web hoopla is all about.
"We have a website. We're active on Facebook (FB) . We do sell online," Thompson said as he showed me around his pride and joy, Shaggy's Copper Country Skis . He built this four-room factory in the old Knights of Columbus hall here on state Route 75, right down the road from the Boyne Mountain Resort, with its 500-foot vertical drop.
"But it has been no help to us. It's just not an obvious thing."
Thing is, this former framing contractor, who describes himself as a "bit of a pit bull," has got the story that, by rights, should make him be a digital, maker-age superstar: After the economy shut down and his home construction business went south, he and his wife essentially taught themselves how to mass-produce world-beating skis from local materials such as white ash hardwood and fabbed metal meant for the car industry.
He didn't need a magic 3-D desktop printing miracle. Rather, the couple straight up worked night and day and sometimes into the next night using good old-fashioned trial and error. Starting with designs, making some skis, seeing what worked, making more changes and then making more skis. In fact, all the duds are stacked in the corner by an old stage.
"I would go to chat rooms and look for ideas," Thompson told me. "But I realized that if I gave away too much there, I would not get anything for my knowledge."
But somehow, this normal dad who made houses for 15 years now custom fabs the most badass, superhero skis I've seen in some time. A solid pair of skis runs about $600, putting him out in front of major makers such as Europe's Rossignol and Atomic and Salt Lake City's Black Diamond Equipment (BDE) .
Business is growing. Shari told me they sold twice as many skis this year as last, which is remarkable considering that Shaggy's core customer is the limited experienced-skier market.
"These skis are not for sissies. You need to know how to drive 'em," Shari told me.
Wanna know the remarkable, digital age punchline? Despite being straight out of information age central casting and thus primed to hack the Web to marketing greatness, guess what Shaggy's really relies on to sell skis?
"I'm looking to connect to the better retail ski shops that can communicate my brand to customers," he explained.
That's right, friends. When it comes to selling the big outdoors, the Web is nothing more than a random snowdrift that needs to be plowed through.
The mystery of the high margin snow monster
What investors need to know here is that the high-end outdoor industry Thompson works in is a rare bright spot in today's Dark Age 2.0. According to the Outdoor Industry Association, the Boulder, Colo.-based industry trade group, last year Americans spent $646 billion on outdoor recreation, roughly double what they spent on pharmaceuticals.

The Best of Kass
Among his posts this past week, Kass explained why he's buying shares of Apple and why some recent news from China is encouraging.

The Apple of My Buy
Originally published on Friday, Nov. 9 at 8:44 a.m. EDT.
Similar to many, I historically (let's call it over the last five years) failed to recognize how successful a Steve Jobs-led Apple (AAPL) would be as a disruptive innovator of product.
In my " 15 Surprises for 2012 " (written 11 months ago), however, I waxed enthusiastically about the prospects for the profit cycle and share price for Apple. (At that time Apple's shares stood at $403.)
> > Bull or Bear? Vote in Our Poll
Again, in July 2012, I wove a positive tale of Apple's long-term prospects.
Nonetheless, when the shares hit $700 in late September, I turned cautious in " The Bear Case for Apple ."
My concerns were multiple, and the major risks (most of which I thought would play out over a few years, not a few quarters) were as follows:
- Global economic weakness in 2013 would likely have an adverse impact on Apple's relatively high-priced stable of products.
- Challenges of delivering a high-quality product in quantity.
- The risks associated with the loss of Steve Jobs were being underestimated by the markets.
- Investors may look beyond the recent new product offerings. The steady stream of "wow factor" products in the company's pipeline may be in jeopardy following the release of the iPhone 5 and of iPad mini.
- A changing competitive landscape could be a challenge to the company's market share and profitability.
- Apple's shares were overowned and were the beneficiary of fund flows. The almost religious belief in the company (on the part of individual and institutional investors) represented an extreme in investor sentiment.
- Apple's valuation, though inexpensive relative to the market and its projected growth rate, was very expensive (on a price-to-sales basis) relative to other hardware companies and on an absolute sales basis.
Ten days later, in " More Bruises on Apple ," I raised additional concerns. I again asked whether there was anyone left that doesn't own Apple's shares at that point in time and how many money managers (in part because of the weighting in the indices) are now overweight the stock, particularly after the aforementioned period of outperformance.
October, in " Will Apple Fall Far From the Tree ," I underscored why the easy comparisons and salad days were likely behind this iconic company and that risk/reward seemed uninspiring with the shares being range-bound (and with a lower end of the range at about $550 a share). I concluded that there are now blemishes and bruises on the world's favorite fruit. Specifically, there were early signs of Apple losing its first-mover advantage (and the elevated gross margins previously achieved). I further suggested that investors now must closely watch whether the company's upgrade cycle is lengthening because of a less-differentiated product, they must monitor the ability to deliver a large amount quality product with limited flaws (e.g., apps such as Maps, scratching, Siri, weight/feel, etc.), and they must closely track cost and margin trends and, of course, the competition.

Forward-thinking CIOs are beginning to recognize that the one critical answer to their "renovate and reinvest" dilemma lies in elevating the importance of digital archiving: In the words of Steve Duplessie, sr. analyst with ESG in the white paper Elevating Archiving's Business Status. "Too often archives are tactically put in place to solve a specific issue (e.g., retaining email, moving file data to lower-cost storage, etc.) and are never looked at again unless they create an operational issue or have to be upgraded. Very rarely do IT and business leaders think about what else an archive can provide or how to functionally improve the system. This has to change."
EMC InfoArchive is a dynamic solution for the way forward: a unified archive of information from diverse business applications that allows users access as needed, enabling organizations to approach archiving as a way to repurpose information—and placing it where it adds the most value to the business—while protecting its integrity.

Cats are known for always landing on their feet and being able to walk, run and jump with ease. So if a feline is suddenly falling or swaying to one side, an owner should bring the cat to their veterinarian for an examination. VCA Animal Hospitals reports one condition that causes this odd behavior is feline vestibular disease. This is an illness that usually occurs suddenly and affects the vestibular apparatus, which is located in the inner ear and helps to maintain balance and a sense of direction. The most common signs of vestibular disease include dizziness, head tilting, falling over, walking in circles and abnormal rapid eye movements.
According to VCA, anytime the vestibular apparatus is damaged or diseased, a cat's balance and coordination are immediately affected. While infections or tumors of the middle or inner ear, or exposure to certain drugs or toxins can result in damage to the vestibular system, often no definitive cause is found.
Most veterinarians diagnose the condition from the classic clinical signs, however, often tests such as blood and urine tests, and even more advanced tests such as blood pressure, skull x-rays, and possibly even CT scans or MRIs will be necessary to ensure there is not a more serious underlying cause. If no such culprit is found, the diagnosis is Idiopathic Feline Vestibular Disease.
Sick cats with this issue are commonly prescribed antibiotics or other medications if it is suspected or determined they have an inner or middle ear infection. Anti-nausea medicine or other supportive treatments may also be prescribed if the cat is feeling sick from the lack of balance.
In cats without underlying disease, the condition is usually short-lived and will typically resolve after a brief period of time. In most cases, the uncontrollable eye movement will stop in a matter of days. Sometimes the signs do not resolve completely and some cats are left with a slight tilt of the head but otherwise regain most normal functions.
If your cat is exhibiting unusual balance or signs of dizziness, see your veterinarian for an examination.

Members of the genus Bison are large even-toed ungulates within the subfamily Bovinae. Two extant and four extinct species are recognized. The surviving species are the American bison, also known as the American buffalo (although it is not related to the true buffalo), Bison bison (with two subspecies, the plains bison, Bison bison bison, and the wood bison, Bison bison athabascae), found in North America, and the European bison, or wisent (Bison bonasus), found in Europe and the Caucasus. While these species are usually grouped into their own genus, they are sometimes included in the closely related genus Bos,[1] together with cattle, gaur, kouprey and yaks, with which bison have a limited ability to interbreed.
The American bison and the European wisent are good swimmers and are the largest terrestrial animals in North America and Europe. Bison are nomadic grazers and travel in herds, except for the non-dominant bulls, which travel alone or in small groups during most of the year. American bison are known for living in the Great Plains. Both species were hunted close to extinction during the 19th and 20th centuries but have since rebounded. The American Plains bison is no longer listed as endangered, but the Wood Bison is on the endangered species list in Canada.[2]
Although superficially similar, there are a number of physical and behavioural differences between the American and European bison. The American species has 15 ribs, while the European bison has 14. The American bison has four lumbar vertebrae, while the European has five.[3] Adult American bison are not as rangy in build, and have shorter legs.[4] American bison tend to graze more, and browse less than their European cousins. Their anatomies reflect this behavioural difference; the American bison's head hangs closer to the earth than the European's. The body of the American bison is typically hairier, though its tail has less hair than that of the European bison. The horns of the European bison point through the plane of their faces, making them more adept at fighting through the interlocking of horns in the same manner as domestic cattle, unlike the American bison which favours butting.[5] American bison are more easily tamed than their European cousins, and breed with domestic cattle more readily.[6]
Genetic history
A 2003 study found that mitochondrial DNA indicated that four distinct maternal lineages in tribe Bovini:
However, Y chromosome analysis associated wisent and American bison.[7] An earlier study using amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) fingerprinting showed a close association of wisent and American bison and probably with yak but noted that the interbreeding of Bovini species made determining relationships problematic.[8]
During the population bottleneck, American bison were interbred with domestic cattle. Accidental crossings were also known to occur. Generally male domestic bulls were crossed with buffalo cows producing offspring of which only the females were fertile. Genetic analysis has found a high degree of intermixture in modern commercial bison herds. Some cattle breeds are also partly bison, for instance, Beefalo. Wisent-American bison hybrids were briefly experimented with in Germany (and found to be fully fertile) and a herd of such animals is maintained in Russia all the time . A herd of cattle-wisent crossbreeds (Zubron) are maintained in Poland. First-generation crosses do not occur naturally, requiring caesarean delivery. First-generation males are infertile.
Wallowing is a common behavior of bison. A bison wallow is a shallow depression in the soil, either wet or dry. Bison roll in these depressions, covering themselves with mud or dust. Possible explanations suggested for wallowing behavior include grooming behavior associated with moulting, male-male interaction (typically rutting behavior), social behavior for group cohesion, play behavior, relief from skin irritation due to biting insects, reduction of ectoparasite load (ticks and lice), and thermoregulation.[9] In the process of wallowing bison may become infected by the fatal disease anthrax, which may occur naturally in the soil.[10]
The bison's temperament is often unpredictable. They usually appear peaceful, unconcerned, even lazy, yet they may attack anything, often without warning or apparent reason. They can move at speeds of up to 35 mph (56 km/h) and cover long distances at a lumbering gallop.[11]
Their most obvious weapons are the horns borne by both males and females. But their massive heads can be used as battering rams, effectively using the momentum produced by 2,000 pounds (900 kg) moving at 30 mph (50 km/h). The hind legs can also be used to kill or maim with devastating effect. At the time bison ran wild, they were rated second only to the Alaska brown bear as a potential killer, more dangerous than the grizzly bear. In the words of early naturalists, they were a dangerous, savage animal that feared no other animal and in prime condition could best any foe.[11]
The rutting, or mating, season lasts from June through September with peak activity in July and August. At this time, the older bulls rejoin the herd and fights often take place between bulls. The herd exhibits much restlessness during breeding season. The animals are belligerent, unpredictable and most dangerous.[11]
Bison have a fairly simple diet. The bison's main food is grass. Bison also eat the low lying shrubbery that is available. In the winter, bison forage in the snow looking for grass. If there is little grass available, bison have to resort to eating the twigs of shrubs.[citation needed]
Due to their large size few predators attack bison. However, wolf packs can take down a bison. There are even documented cases of a single wolf taking down bison (Schmidt & Mech, 1997). Brown bears will also prey on calves, and have been observed driving off wolves to take over their kills.[citation needed]

I *love* the SST bowl for dough, especially high hydration. My wife loves the white bowl with cookie paddles though it's so efficient that she gets nervous and sometimes will default to the slower, more familiar KA.If your budget can stand it you might consider the blender. Great for smoothies and saved us from upgrading our old one.
The SS bowl has no center post but a 3 prong thingie that connects at the bottom with the arms pointing up. It isn't perfect, I usually have to pause and give the sides a quick scrape with a wet scraper but that takes all of 10 seconds. I actually wonder if the outside bar could be closer to the side but it isn't. I've made focaccia with bread flour @80%, neo-nea at 75% and recently a sprouted wheat dough at 92%. There's no way I could have done that in the white bowl.I'll post a link to a thread that has pictures. Check back in 2 minutes.120, 119, 118....Dave

The coolest airplane I've ever seenThursday, May 30th, 2013
Detail one: the carbon-fiber airplane has 100,000 simulated rivets and screw heads in its molds, meaning the airplane appears to be made of metal. Detail two: when the pilot starts the aircraft, a sound system is automatically triggered playing a recording of the Merlin engine used by the real Mustang. The speaker is on the lower cowl disguised as a cooling vent. Detail three: puffs of smoke emerge from the fake exhaust stacks to add to the impression that this is almost the real thing.
Its aerobatic as heck, capable of plus 8 Gs and minus 4 Gs. Here are some details from the FK Web site. So when can you buy this $130,000 aircraft? You can't yet. In July final testing and approval will be done in Europe, with deliveries in late summer. Then FK Lightplanes, headquartered in Poland with a branch in Germany, will go to work making the airplane with fixed gear to comply with the American light sport rules, getting rid of the adjustable prop because it also isn't allowed on light sport aircraft, and getting ASTM approval so it can be sold as a S-LSA light sport aircraft.
Dan Johnson, head of the Light Aircraft Manufacturers Association and owner of the bydanjohnson Web site, reports on this and other models displayed at Aero, the main airshow in Europe for lightweight aircraft. Check his May 8 story.

Immigrant issues conference
Thursday, April 5, 2012
A leading conference on the challenges facing new Americans returns April 9-11 at St. Cloud State.
Global Goes Local will ask immigrants, scholars, employers, family experts, health authorities and others to find solutions to immigrants' problems and to celebrate their successes.
"The conference fosters understanding about the needs and cultural experiences of our newest neighbors," said Stephen Philion. "We need to incorporate immigrants into the fabric of Minnesota society. Assimilation is a two-way street." Philion is director of the Faculty Research Group on Immigrant Workers in Minnesota, part of St. Cloud State's Social Science Research Institute.
The free public conference will be in Atwood Memorial Center. Parking is free on streets adjacent to campus and a dollar per hour in the 4th Avenue Parking Ramp.
Between 1982 and 2008, more than one million immigrants from 182 nations sought homes in Minnesota, according to a 2010 report by the Minneapolis Foundation. About one-third have remained in Minnesota, contributing to the state's economic vitality. Bruce Corrie, a business professor at Concordia University, St. Paul, has estimated that the state's Asian and Latino immigrants account for $7 billion in annual purchases.
Through keynote speakers and panel discussions, conferees will tackle topics such as workplace conditions, housing discrimination, immigrant economic power, access to culturally appropriate food, labor-organizing efforts, barriers to citizenship and anti-immigrant laws.
Meet the keynote speakers:
Meet the conference sponsors
In its third year, the conference is sponsored by these St. Cloud State entities: Faculty Research Group on Immigrant Workers in Minnesota, College of Liberal Arts, School of Public Affairs, School of Health and Human Services and Herberger Business School.
Off-campus sponsors include University of Minnesota Immigration History Research Center, University of Minnesota Chicano Studies Department, Macalester College Global Citizenship Institute, Initiative Foundation, MidCountry Bank, Service Employees International Union Local 26, United Food and Commercial Workers International Union Local 1189, and the Gender Studies, Economics and Sociology departments at the College of St. Saint Benedict/Saint John's University.
For more information, contact Stephen Philion at firstname.lastname@example.com or 320-308-5497. Philion is a nominee for the Thomas Ehrlich Civically Engaged Faculty Award, awarded nationally each year to a senior, tenured faculty for exemplary leadership in advancing students' civic learning, community engagement and contributions to the public good.

Genetically Modified Foods
Oral Question Period
11:55 a.m.
Monique Guay Laurentides, QC
Mr. Speaker, following the lead of Japan and Europe, last week 19 representatives in the U.S. congress tabled a bill to make it mandatory in the United States to label genetically modified foods or foods containing genetically modified organisms.
My question is for the Minister of Agriculture. Does he realize that Canada may soon be one of the few countries where it is not mandatory to label genetically modified food and that our farm products may well be rejected just about everywhere, including in the United States?
Genetically Modified Foods
Oral Question Period
11:55 a.m.
Parry Sound—Muskoka
Andy Mitchell Secretary of State (Rural Development)(Federal Economic Development Initiative for Northern Ontario)
Mr. Speaker, this is a very important issue. It is one that both the Minister of Health and the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food have been spending a great deal of time working on. It is important that we consult with Canadians. The ministers are undertaking consultations with Canadians and they will deal with this issue in due course.
Child Poverty
Oral Question Period
11:55 a.m.
Michelle Dockrill Bras D'Or, NS
Mr. Speaker, we have heard promise after promise from the government about what it will do to help Canadian children, but no action.
Ninety per cent of single mothers and their children live in poverty. One in four children in Nova Scotia experience poverty. Cape Breton children are worse off than their neighbours in the rest of the province. These statistics do not need reviewing. They are cold hard facts, especially cold and hard for the children they represent.
What specific targets is the Minister of Finance willing to set to eliminate child poverty, given that the efforts of the government to date have failed Canadian children?
Child Poverty
Oral Question Period
11:55 a.m.
David Anderson Minister of the Environment
Mr. Speaker, the hon. member fails to point out that the unemployment rate for adult women is at its lowest rate in 25 years. It is now at 5.8%. Since we were elected in 1993 there have been more than 800,000 jobs created for women.
Women's employment has grown faster than men's in each of the last four decades. In fact, we have had the highest growth of any of the G-7 nations in the last 20 years.
I point out to the hon. member that we are trying to deal with the causes of child poverty, the causes of women in disadvantaged conditions by making—
Child Poverty
Oral Question Period
11:55 a.m.
The Deputy Speaker
The hon. member for West Nova.
Oral Question Period
11:55 a.m.
Progressive Conservative
Mark Muise West Nova, NS
Mr. Speaker, on January 18 the former minister of fisheries wrote to one of our fishery representatives telling him that there would be no increase in lobster size until the industry's self-imposed V-notching program could be analysed.
Why did the minister not give V-notching a chance?
Oral Question Period
11:55 a.m.
Vancouver South—Burnaby
Herb Dhaliwal Minister of Fisheries and Oceans
Mr. Speaker, as I responded to a question earlier, carapace size is about conservation. By increasing the carapace size by 1/16 of an inch, we will protect the resource and make sure we have a sustainable lobster fishery. We will ensure that we protect the resource, unlike the member and his party. At one time they speak about conservation and the next time they are not interested in speaking about conservation. They are speaking from both sides of their mouth. Why do they not become consistent?
Rural Development
Oral Question Period
Ivan Grose Oshawa, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise today with a rural question, although the closest thing to a farm in my riding is the vegetable garden in my backyard. I had a good crop this year. No need for assistance.
My people in Oshawa make the best cars and trucks in North America and their best customers are rural customers. What is the Secretary of State for Rural Development doing to ensure that rural Canadians are playing an active role in charting their own social and economic course?
Rural Development
Oral Question Period
Parry Sound—Muskoka
Andy Mitchell Secretary of State (Rural Development)(Federal Economic Development Initiative for Northern Ontario)
Mr. Speaker, it is absolutely essential that government undertake policies and measures in a way that makes sense for rural Canadians.
We believe it is important to give rural Canadians themselves the tools they need to make the decisions that work best for their particular communities. That is why we undertook a very extensive rural dialogue with rural Canadians, speaking to over 7,000 of them, ending with a conference in Belleville earlier this year.
I am pleased to advise the House today that we will have a follow-up to that conference in Magog, Quebec on April 28, 29 and 30.
Airport Safety
Oral Question Period
Val Meredith South Surrey—White Rock—Langley, BC
Mr. Speaker, when the government was transferring ownership of regional airports to the local municipalities, it relaxed the emergency response time so as not to impose excessive burdens on these local communities.
Now that the government has divested these airports, it is tightening up the rules again, requiring local communities to provide a three minute response time. This is a move that will cost dozens of communities millions of dollars each.
Why did the government entice the municipalities with relaxed requirements only to tighten up the requirements after the local governments acquired the airports?
Airport Safety
Oral Question Period
Thunder Bay—Atikokan
Stan Dromisky Parliamentary Secretary to Minister of Transport
Mr. Speaker, as we all know, safety is the top priority of the government, especially in the area of transportation. We are quite aware of the situation that is taking place. We will monitor and review every move that is made by all the agencies and the authorities regarding this question of safety.
Treaties Ratified In 1991 And 1992
Routine Proceedings
November 26th, 1999 / noon
Denis Paradis Parliamentary Secretary to Minister of Foreign Affairs
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to table in both official languages, pursuant to Standing Order 32(2), 27 treaties that came into effect in 1992 and 58 treaties that came into effect in 1991. We are also tabling the list of these treaties.
As was done previously, I am also providing CD-ROMs to the Library of Parliament, which contain electronic versions of these treaties, in order to provide wide accessibility to those texts.
Technology Partnerships Canada
Routine Proceedings
Scarborough Centre
John Cannis Parliamentary Secretary to Minister of Industry
Mr. Speaker, in accordance with Standing Order 32(2), I have the honour to table, in both official languages, the Technology Partnerships Canada annual report for the years 1998 and 1999.
Government Response To Petitions
Routine Proceedings
Scarborough—Rouge River
Derek Lee Parliamentary Secretary to Leader of the Government in the House of Commons
Mr. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 36, I have the honour to table, in both official languages, the government's response to four petitions.
Committees Of The House
Routine Proceedings
12:05 p.m.
Sue Barnes London West, ON
Mr. Speaker, I have the honour of tabling, in both official languages, the first report of the Standing Committee on Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development.
Pursuant to order of reference of Monday, November 1, 1999, your committee has studied Bill C-9, an act to give effect to the Nisga'a final agreement, and has agreed to report it without amendment.

A controversial Broadway play on the Virgin Mary closes Why?
NEW YORK (RNS) A Tony-nominated play with a controversial take on the Virgin Mary reflecting on her life closed far earlier than planned. Now the question is: Why? After all, biblically themed shows are all the rage on television and in the movies. Was "The Testament of Mary" too controversial – or not controversial enough?

Initial Comment: I have loaded a gem "A" that loaded version 0.9.13 of gem "B", and then continued to load gem "C" that needed version "~> 0.9.12" of gem "B". Under normal conditions, version 0.9.13 should suit just fine if I'm looking for "~> 0.9.12". But in this case, since: (1) version 0.9.13 is *already loaded*, and (2) I have since changed my Gem path in such a way that 0.9.13 is not able to be found in the new Gem path, -> it fails and raises an error saying that it can't activate. This happens because in rubygems.rb, line 268: unless matches.any? { |spec| spec.version == existing_spec.version } then This should look at the existing spec and test whether it passes the version-requirements. However, the way it is doing it depends on the already-loaded spec to be able to be found again in the most recent search. This fails if the Gem paths have changed and the already-loaded spec is a version that is no longer able to be found in the new Gem path. This proposed change to this single line fixes the problem: rubygems.rb at 268 - unless matches.any? { |spec| spec.version == existing_spec.version } then + unless gem.version_requirements.satisfied_by?(existing_spec.version) then ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Ryan Davis (zenspider) Date: 2010-11-12 16:59 Message: Please respond to Eric's question so I can write a failing test. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Eric Hodel (drbrain) Date: 2010-02-06 22:02 Message: Do you have a set of gems that can reproduce this? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=575&aid=27588&group_id=126
