Vintage Monsavon Au Lait Cow Milk Bath Soap Wooden Art Sign
This is a CUSTOMIZABLE reproduction wooden art sign featuring a cow taking a bubble bath! The vintage image was originally an advertisement art poster for a French soap called "Monsavon Au Lait". This wooden sign is antiqued so that it looks like a real vintage art sign. The smallest size is on a solid panel of wood (9 x 12 inches), while all other sizes are on planked wood. This is the perfect piece of decorative art for a bathroom or powder room. The sign is customizable, so you can change the text to read anything you like. "THE JOHNSON'S JOHN" perhaps? This custom made sign is available in several sizes. It arrives ready to hang, right out of the box.
The quick frame option comes ready to hang and framed as shown, with acrylic glass and a solid wood black frame, no mats.

Intel Corp. on Monday unveiled its first central processing units designed for Internet-oriented small form-factor mobile computers. The new Intel Atom processors are likely to show Intel a way into handheld devices, a market that has been relatively untapped by the world's largest maker of chips.
"This is our smallest processor built with the world's smallest transistors. This small wonder is a fundamental new shift in design, small yet powerful enough to enable a big Internet experience on these new devices. We believe it will unleash new innovation across the industry," said Intel executive vice president and chief sales and marketing officer Sean Maloney.
Intel Atom processors, which were previously code-named Diamondville and Silverthorne, are based on Intel Core 2 micro-architecture, but are tailored for mobile operation and manufacturing cost-efficiency: e.g., they do not feature large caches and do not sport certain peculiarities.
These new chips will be manufactured on Intel's 45nm process technology and will contain about 47 million of transistors. The chips have a thermal design power (TDP) specification in 0.6-2.5W range and scale to 1.8GHz speeds depending on customer need. By comparison, today' mainstream mobile Core 2 Duo processors have a TDP in the 35W range and run at speeds of about 3.30GHz.
With personal computing increasingly going mobile and the computer industry rapidly developing new classes of products to connect the next billion people to the Internet, the Intel Atom processor offers customers the unique ability to innovate around the new low-power design. In addition to the mobile Internet device (MID) opportunity, Intel believes the demand for a new category of low-cost, Internet-centric mobile computing devices dubbed "netbooks" and basic Internet-centric desktop PCs dubbed "nettops", will grow substantially over the next several years. The Intel Atom processor is perfectly suited to meet these new market segments.
Intel said the Intel Atom processor also has potential for future revenue opportunities in consumer electronic devices, embedded applications and thin clients.
In addition, Intel said that it will market its mobile Internet devices-oriented chips under Intel Centrino Atom brand-name. Formerly code-named "Menlow", Intel Centrino Atom processor technology includes the Intel Atom processor, a low-power companion chip with integrated graphics, a wireless radio, and thinner and lighter designs.

one last case of critcal thinking and plain speaking.....
I'll put the disclaimer first on this thread. As I really really don't want to offend on this one. I have a little fun poking at people on the others but this one is all serious. I am not in anyway demeaning those like boomer and nate on here that have served. this is a serious thought, comment.
Why is it that everyone in the military is a "hero" nowadays?
You can take the druggiest loser whose life is nothing and he gets a choice of prison or the army and goes into the army and he is all of a sudden a hero? I do have ALOT of respect for those that served and have served, but doesn't it demean those that serve with distinction --the real heroes--when anyone who is in uniform gets red carpet treatment just for being in the armed services?
This is where I want to tread lightly... but i have family members in the armed services and they are compensated VERY well. It is a job. They are not volunteering. they actually aren't serving their country anymore than a mailman is. The armed services did THEM a huge favor, not them doing the country a huge favor.
I see those that actually volunteered (not "recruited") happily(not last resort) as the heroes. To my knowledge some people in the armed forces can't be trusted to be in combat zones. Doesn't it irk anyone else that we consider them heroes? How long and often has boomer been in combat zones? I think he is one of the heroes.
What about the many men that signed up after pearl harbor, even forty and fifty year old men, to just preserve our nations security. They would have went without pay, AND DID!
I dare say this issue is much like others.... It is what the motivation is that matters. I think in all honesty it would be hard for me to consider anyone a hero unless they would do it for free. I know I couldn't say that. But I know also that there are alot who can. Those are the heroes, not the ones who just hope to put in their time and get out and get 40,000 for a house or college education.
The sad part is how do you make the distinction this day and age?
That's just my two cents, I have been testing some theories lately on here, and this one has been bugging me for a while. So fire away!!!! I'm ready!
Dude, I am with you. My town had a guy I went to high school with and he was the biggest drug dealer in school. He got in trouble with the law and the only way to keep from going to prison was to go to the military. He did nothing but get in trouble while in the USMC and while waiting for some type of hearing or something for some junk he had done, he was killed by a roadside bomb. No kidding, the town built a statue for him. I hate that he is dead, but I wont lie and call him a role model or hero.
I love and respect the people who are fighting because they want to or care about the USA, but the ones who just want a handout, not so mutch.
"Be of good comfort, Master Ridley, and play the man! We shall this day light such a candle, by God's grace, in England, as I trust shall never be put out."
--Hugh Latimer, October 16, 1555
I understand, and respect your opinion, I just still disagree. However, you did make me think the ones that are actually in harms way do need a special title--- but how can civilians discern between the two?
"Be of good comfort, Master Ridley, and play the man! We shall this day light such a candle, by God's grace, in England, as I trust shall never be put out."
--Hugh Latimer, October 16, 1555
thank you for your kinda words and yes, I have spent the majority of the last 3 years in combat zones or preparing to go into combat zones.
Just like any institution the military has it's share of less than reputable individuals. However, I have seen the military change the local town druggy into a great soldier, or give someone who maybe didn't have the chance to mature socially in the environment they were brought up in the life skills they needed to become an adult. When you join, now adays, you also almost have an assurance you will spend time in a combat zone. I am pretty much 100% relational on how a handle life. Money really does mean nothing to me and if I do something it has to have merit in some sort of relational aspect. Even though these deployments ware me down and age me more than I care to think ... the people over here are some of the finest folks in America. They may have not come in that way ... but they sure as hell come out that way. "Hero" in my terms is a strong word for any one person ... but the sentiment of seeing a soldier and buying them a beer is an act of gratefulness that people do volunteer to keep America safe. The solider or Marine at that moment is more or less an icon of something bigger grateful people choose to acknowledge.
EVERYONE who joins the military these days is a volunteer. Just because they are getting paid, doesn't mean they are not volunteers. There is no draft anymore and military service is no longer synonymous with a prison sentence. NO ONE goes to war for free, soldiers expect to be compensated if they are going to put their lives on the line for their country. That's been a fact of every single war in American history. It doesn't diminish the great heroism that has been displayed by our troops in the past, however.
Now, I do agree that not everyone who serves in the military is a hero (and yes, I use the word "serve" because being in the military is more than just collecting a paycheck). However, I also don't think that civilians who have never served in the military are capable of truly understanding what is expected of a soldier, sailor, airman, or Marine.
the judge looks at the court file, pulls them aside with their lawyer and tells them they can either go through with the trial and take their chances, or they have 20 days to enlist in the military
step brother 1 had drug charges and theft, joined the navy where he was dishonorably discharged, and the federal gov then put him in jail anyway
step brother 2 same charges, but joined army, he is still in the military, but recently had some problems pop up (major problems stealing a base credit card) , and waiting to see what they do to him
i support our military 100%, donate to the different charities supporting our troops, and have nothing but respect for what they do, but like everything that carries a certain prestige with it, there are individuals that dont deserve to be there or recieve the honor associated with it, but it doesnt and shouldnt take away from the majority serving the country with the honor and integrity expected

I live in a remote country area of Australie , so a cowhide rug is in keeping with my theme. But this ticks every box .... Superb silver metallic on white.... So femine but with just enough edge not to be perceived as not suitable for a living/ lounge room. Love, Love , love.
Congratulations on your user friendly website.
Kind regards

I looked at this rug for a long time and finally decided to buy it. I am using it as a front door entrance rug. What a statement it makes! It is very durable. Just a few little dabs of water and little particles from outside come right out. Otherwise just sweep of vacuum! Love it.

Karl Meltzer Unplugged - Page 2
Aside from his stellar running resume, Meltzer is also recognized for his trademark kit, which includes a Red Bull cap, headphones and biking gloves (more later). Meltzer lives in Sandy, Utah, with his wife, Cheryl, also an ultrarunner.
We recently caught up with Meltzer between recovering from Grindstone and golf games to see how he keeps on winning.
What do you attribute your strong running of late to?
Good question. I run 100s, and in 100s it's not really about speed. It's knowing how to race and how to strategize. I'm 44, so it would be assumed that I would start to get slower, but I only get wiser and smarter with each run. Running a 10-minute mile is not fast, even at altitude and on hilly terrain. That pace just doesn't feel hard to me, and, because I run very conservative early, I tend to get stronger as a race progresses.
Do you know who has the next-most 100-mile wins, and how many?
Ann Trason has 22 wins. Hal Koerner, I think, has the second most, maybe 17ish, for men, or maybe Eric Clifton, but that's all I know. I do know no one had more than Ann when I passed her.
You seem to be mixing it up between Western mountain races and rugged Eastern 100s. Why?
The Western races, being local, sort of, are on courses similar to what I train on all the time. I run on rugged terrain, so I always run races that play to my strength. Most of the stuff out west is somewhat technical, except for northern California—it's all smooth there.
Regarding the East Coast races, I have a love for running in the woods. We can't run in the woods out West. It's very open, so going back east to Virginia and Alabama or Vermont is a bit different. East Coast terrain is far more rugged in most locations, because the mountains are older. It plays to my strength once again too, coming from altitude then running at essentially sea level … not to mention the timing is good as most mountain races out West are over once October hits. On the East Coast, races continue later in the year.
You recently mentioned that you are gunning for the Grand Slam record next year. Will you do any special training for that?
No special training. I'll just deal with the heat at Western and Vermont—I'm not getting in a sauna! And I am not really sure I am running the Grand Slam. If Run Rabbit Run [RRR] happens again, I'll go back and run for money again. The prize purse will likely be bigger. The Grand Slam is only my real intention if RRR doesn't happen.
I really don't care to run Leadville, because it's a fiasco now, Vermont is kinda boring dirt roads, Wasatch … I've run that one a lot.
I got into Western by default [by winning RRR, a Montrail Ultra Cup event], so everyone expects me to attempt the Grand Slam. I don't typically do what other folks say I should. I do what I want … so we'll see. The Grand Slam is a good goal, but not entertaining enough for me to really care about it that much. I tend to run races where I feel the course is tough and fun at the same time.

MIT Researchers May Have Found Cure for the Common Cold, Other Viruses

(Source: Massachusetts Institute of Technology)
Double-stranded RNA Activated Caspase Oligomerizers (DRACOs) could be the answer for terminating viruses like H1N1 influenza, stomach viruses, a polio virus, several types of hemorrhagic fever and dengue fever
Viruses like the common cold and influenza are infections that we occasionally must ride out. All anyone can really do is rest and take medications to ease the symptoms, which can range from congestion to fever to vomiting. Other viruses, such as
, can be potentially fatal due to Ebola hemorrhagic fever.
While many bacterial infections can be treated with antibiotics, not many viral infections can be treated with medications. Only a "handful" can fight viruses, like the protease inhibitors to
control HIV
, but most other treatments only relieve the symptoms, and even that can take several days in some cases. Viruses are difficult to attack because they change and replicate in healthy cells.
But now, a team of researchers at MIT's Lincoln Laboratory
may have found the cure
for the common cold as well as many other viruses like H1N1 influenza, stomach viruses, a polio virus, several types of hemorrhagic fever and dengue fever. The team, led by Todd Rider, a senior staff scientist in Lincoln Laboratory's Chemical, Biological and Nanoscale Technologies Group, created therapeutic agents called Double-stranded RNA Activated Caspase Oligomerizers (DRACOs) which have successfully terminated viral infections.
Viruses infect cells
by taking over the cell entirely and multiplying. While making copies of themselves, the viruses also produce long strings of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA). This is not found in animal or human cells.
To fight these infected cells, healthy human cells have proteins that bind to dsRNA, which then prompts a series of reactions that work to stop the virus from making copies of itself. The problem is that the virus can block one of the healthy cells' series of steps to prevent its replication somewhere down the line, allowing the virus to change and further reproduce once again.
To remedy this problem, Rider and his team mixed a dsRNA protein with another protein that causes cells to go through apoptosis, which is programmed cell suicide. One end of the DRACO binds to dsRNA while the other end is instructed to launch cell suicide.
Also, each DRACO consists of a "delivery tag" that they received from naturally occurring proteins. This allows it to enter any human or animal by crossing cell membranes, meaning that it can combat a broad spectrum of viruses, possibly including new outbreaks.
The team tested the DRACOs in human and animal cells cultured in the lab as well as mice infected with the H1N1 influenza virus. They found that DRACO left the mice fully cured of the infection, and that DRACO is not toxic to these animals. In addition, DRACO only targeted cells with dsRNA present while leaving healthy cells alone.
Rider and his team are now testing DRACO on other viruses in mice, and hope to eventually test it on larger animals and humans.

Mr. Speaker, on May 4, the women of the Pay Equity Network demonstrated on Parliament Hill calling on members of Parliament to pass proactive pay equity legislation.
On Saturday some 5,000 women, gathered in Quebec City to welcome the world march of women's global charter for humanity, called for pay equity, among other things.
Over a year ago, the federal pay equity task force published its report recommending passing new legislation. One year later, the Liberal government still has not tabled a bill to correct the present injustices. Under current legislation, the onus is on women to file complaints.
Need I remind the House that equal pay for work of equal value is a human right? What is the government waiting for to acknowledge this through appropriate legislation?

Mr. Speaker, today is World Lupus Day, an opportunity to increase awareness of this disease with a thousand faces.
Lupus is a disease in which the immune system attacks the body's own healthy cells causing tissue damage, organ failure, and in some cases, death. Lupus can strike any tissue or organ in the body, including the skin, muscles, blood vessels, lungs, heart, and brain. Over 50,000 Canadians are affected by lupus. It strikes men, women and children of all ages, but primarily women during the child-bearing years.
While new research brings promising findings each year, there remains no cure for lupus. Early detection and treatment can help to slow the debilitating effects of the disease. However, many physicians are unaware of the symptoms. As a result, many people suffer for years before obtaining the correct diagnosis and treatment.
There is an urgent need to increase lupus awareness. I would like to applaud organizations like Lupus Canada and the Lupus Erythematosus Society of Saskatchewan for providing support for those affected by this disease and raising awareness of lupus.
Conservative Party of Canada

Borys Wrzesnewskyj Etobicoke Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives' lust for power hit new lows when their deputy leader compared his party's efforts to topple the government to what transpired in Ukraine last fall. It is particularly hypocritical since the Conservatives initially tried to scuttle my motion in the House last October for Canadian involvement in Ukraine's orange revolution.
In Ukraine it was the government that would not respect the will of the people. In Canada it is the opposition that does not respect the will of the people by trying to force an election that two-thirds of Canadians clearly do not want. In Ukraine it was the government that falsely tried innocent people. In Canada it is the Conservative-separatist alliance that falsely passes judgment prior to Justice Gomery's issuing his findings.
Just as former Ukrainian President Kuchma fanned the flames of separatism in Ukraine to retain power, in Canada the Conservative Party leader is willing to do the same to attain power.
The Conservatives trivialize the sacrifices of millions of Ukrainians. Clearly their leader is no Yushchenko.

Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to acknowledge the commitment of a great citizen of Drummond to the cause of women.
Since 1986, Dominique Chevalier has been running Partance, an agency serving women in the regional municipality of Drummond who are seeking employment.
In addition to her involvement in women's groups, she participates in the Conférence régionale des élus de la région 17, the Conseil régional des partenaires du marché du travail, and the Corporation de développement communautaire in Drummond, and she chairs the board of the Femmes et production industrielle regions 4 and 17.
In its recent women of merit competition, the YMCA gave her an award for her social commitment. At the Réseau industriel Drummond awards gala, she won the 2005 award for best business coach.
On behalf of the people of Drummond and my colleagues, I congratulate Dominique Chevalier, a woman of distinction.

Mr. Speaker, after almost eight months since hurricane Ivan devastated the island of Grenada, I wish to report to my colleagues that there are encouraging signs of recovery on the island state.
Grenadian Canadians, NGOs, and the Government of Canada responded to the emergency needs. They sent a tonne of relief materials and to date the Government of Canada has contributed $10.7 million.
As the Prime Minister's special adviser on Grenada, I visited Grenada to assess the status of the ongoing reconstruction efforts headed by the Agency for Reconstruction and Development.
Canadians have continued to show their desire to help, and I would like to thank all Canadians for their unrelenting support. There is still much work that needs to be done to rebuild the island to pre-Ivan conditions. I encourage all hon. members to help Grenadians "Build Back Better", which is the theme of their rebuilding efforts.
Calgary International Airport
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Lee Richardson Calgary South Centre, AB
Mr. Speaker, the Calgary Airport Authority has set the standard for efficiency, convenience and consumer satisfaction. Travellers from around the globe praise the Calgary airport for its ingenuity and responsiveness to the needs of air travellers. It is an exciting, modern gateway to Calgary.
In just 13 years since its transfer from the bureaucratic rule of the federal government to a non-profit local authority, it has become the leading airport in Canada. No longer a drag on the federal treasury, the Calgary airport pays its way and contributes handsomely to the federal treasury.
The Liberal government has taken advantage of this success. In 2005 the airport will pay $25 million in excess rent to the federal government. This gouging is unfair to Calgary and to the air travelling public, reducing competitiveness and hindering growth.
When the previous Conservative government transferred the airport to a local authority, we never intended the airport to become a cash cow for the Liberal government. While the minister's announcement yesterday to avert an immediate crisis in federal airport rents is a positive first step, the ongoing punitive rents charged to the Calgary Airport Authority remain an unfair burden to the travelling public and a disincentive to further progress.

Mr. Speaker, I would like to draw attention to the remarkable performance by the representatives of the Vallée-de-la-Gatineau at the 2005 Défi sportif held in Montreal from April 27 to May 1.
Thirteen young students from the Cité étudiante de la Haute-Gatineau in Maniwaki proudly took part in the various challenges at this international sports event for young people living with physical or intellectual disabilities.
Our dynamic delegation came away with two gold medals, no less, both won by Dany Langevin-Lajeunesse.

Dairy Industry

Charlie Angus Timmins—James Bay, ON
Mr. Speaker, once again I rise in this House to ask the Liberal government why it refuses to take action to defend supply management at the international level. Last year Canadian farmers lost $171 million in market share from imports of modified milk products.
Under article 28 of the GATT we have the tools to protect supply management, but the government refuses to act. Time and time again, dairy farmers have asked the government to apply article 28 and all they get is evasion and denial. When I hear the agriculture minister say that he is exploring ways to position the industry, I hear Liberal doublespeak that tells Canadian farmers the government will take concerns that need action now and put them on the long slow train to Palookaville.
Canadian farmers deserve better. Other countries stand up and fight for their farmers. I am calling upon the government to stand up and defend supply management and apply article 28 now.
Prescription Drugs
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Steven Fletcher Charleswood—St. James, MB
Mr. Speaker, the health minister's inaction is putting Canada's prescription drug supply in jeopardy. For months he has promised to present options on the cross-border drug trade. He promised to bring options to the Commons health committee but to date we have seen nothing.
Developments in the U.S. are quickly overtaking the minister. City and state governments are passing laws to allow bulk imports of Canadian prescription drugs. A number of bills before Congress would give the go-ahead to this practice. Bulk sales could create shortages for Canadian patients and threaten our price controls. It is time for the ministers to stop talking and start acting.
Canadian Internet pharmacies, or at least most of them, are not interested in bulk sales to the U.S. Without some regulation, bulk exports could soon be a reality. When will the health minister start supporting the Conservative Party position and block bulk exports of prescription drugs?
Government of Canada
Statements By Members

Robert Vincent Shefford, QC
Mr. Speaker, the Liberal government is ignoring the wishes of most of the parliamentarians in this House.
It started in October, when the Bloc Québécois introduced a subamendment to the throne speech calling for the resolution of the fiscal imbalance. Although it received the unanimous support of Parliament, the Liberal government has ignored it.
The federal government's disdain has reached new heights with its insouciant approach to the majority decisions of this House, for example, the creation of a plan to help older workers, the creation of a trust account for the tainted money and the reversal of the decision to close nine RCMP detachments in Quebec.
Do we have to hire Earnscliffe or Groupaction to get our message across?
Since the start of the 38th Parliament, this government has been besmirching democracy. It will have to acknowledge the confidence vote and act accordingly.
Minister of Public Works and Government Services

Rahim Jaffer Edmonton Strathcona, AB
Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Public Works has a horrible habit. He says one thing when he means another, or is it that he means one thing and misquotes another? After all, he spends question period quoting from the day to day testimony of newspaper columnists.
Just take Lorne Gunter's Edmonton Journal column from Friday, which the minister used as proof positive that he was on the right side of the sponsorship scandal. But wait, as Mr. Gunter points out in his Sunday column, "Skippie the wonder puppet" took the reference out of context.
Let me correct the minister and tell him what Mr. Gunter really thinks about the Prime Minister's intrepid sock puppet: "Do you ever notice how he looks as guilty as a Liberal about it? He's been totally co-opted".
I could almost feel sorry for Skippie, a man that the former lieutenant governor of Ontario, Hal Jackman, called "a disgrace to our political system" and "a sleaze of the worst order". Then again, he would probably just misquote that and think it was a compliment.

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Canada's veterans.
I had an opportunity this past weekend to participate in the Brant Liberation of the Netherlands parade. The parade, which took place in Brantford on Sunday, May 8, was an event which marked the liberation of the Netherlands and the end of the second world war.
It was an honour to welcome the Vice Consul of the Netherlands, Mr. Loek Felten, to Brantford to take part in such a significant event.
I would like to personally thank the organizers of this tremendous event and pay special tribute to the many veterans who gave so much of themselves for our rights and our freedoms. Our debt to them is beyond calculation.
I also wish to pay tribute to the Brant Naval Veterans Association for its weekend events marking the 60th anniversary of the Battle of the Atlantic.

Dental Decision
A grant from the Western New York Foundation has made it possible for The Resource Center to open and outfit a new dental operatory at its East Second Street location.
Members of administration from The Resource Center, as well as local elected officials and their representatives were on hand for a ribbon-cutting ceremony Friday.
"Dental disease, when it's left untreated, can not only lead to other disease, but it can exacerbate existing diseases," said Steve Riczker, director of health services at The Resource Center. "Not only do you have tooth pain, tooth loss or infection, it can actually worsen conditions such as diabetes and heart issues. Dental care is extremely important. It's not just about a nice smile, it's about your overall health. About 60 percent of all kids have some form of dental disease, whether it's cavities or other issues, and that's pretty significant. Those numbers are just for the general population – when you look at the 'safety net' population that we typically serve here, the numbers are even higher than that."
According to Riczker, State Sen. Cathy Young recently sponsored a bill called "Dentists Across New York," which will alleviate the issue by expanding the "Doctors Across New York" program and enabling dentists to be recruited and receive incentives to work in communities with dentist shortfalls such as Jamestown.
From Page A1
"Children are severely affected by the sparseness of dentists. According to the Pew Foundation, dental care is the single greatest unmet need for health services among children, with tooth decay affecting nearly 60 percent of kids," said Young. "That percentage spikes even higher in places where there are barriers to receiving care. The solution is to create innovative initiatives that attract dental professionals to areas of need. Dentists Across New York would give the state Department of Health discretionary authority to include dentists in the existing Doctors Across New York initiative."
According to the New York State Department of Health, about 24 counties, most of them rural, have emerging dentist shortages, with only one dentist for every 3,000 people. The Health Department estimates that the state needs an additional 371 dentists to fill the gaps. A study coordinated by the Department of Health's Bureau of Dental Health concluded the number of dentists in the state declined from 16,872 in 1997 to 15,291 in 2006.
"Our legislation would assist dentists with education loan repayments in exchange for committing to practice for five years in an underserved area," said Young. "By increasing access to oral care, it will greatly enhance prevention, early diagnosis and intervention, halting or slowing the progress of most dental diseases. It literally can help save people's health, and even their lives."
The Western New York Foundation supplied The Resource Center with the money necessary to equip an entire dental operatory, which can be quite expensive.
"It was a $30,000 grant that allowed us to purchase a chair and all of the equipment needed to provide dental services," said Riczker. "More importantly, though, it allowed us an expansion where we could now hire an additional dentist."
The new operatory will reduce wait times for dental services and improve The Resource Center's ability to serve patients, while also allowing for up to 3,500 additional dental visits per year at the East Second Street location. The Resource Center currently schedules between 12,000-13,000 visits per year for its dental services, which serves roughly 4,300 residents actively on an annual basis.
"Being a retired dentist, I'm of course very interested in the dental clinic," said Harry Glatz. "To see the facilities that they have here, along with the modern techniques and materials is exciting for me. I congratulate them for all that they're doing for the community, and as a parent of one of the people that they serve, I want to thank them for all of the people that are served by the resource center."
The clinic, which was originally opened in 1984 in downtown Jamestown, and shortly thereafter we moved to its current location, was opened because of a shortage of dental services in the Jamestown area. Since that time, the practice has continued to grow. In 1984, The Resource Center had one dentist on staff, but it currently has four – Dr. Anne Shear, Dr. Jill Wierchowski, Dr. Doug Lawson, and the newest addition to its team, Dr. Timothy Theisen.
"I'd really like to thank the staff for operating this clinic," said Denise Jones, associate executive director of The Resource Center. "We know we're offering a vital service here, but we have continued to struggle financially. In terms of capital space, we know that we need more space, and we do have plans to expand further into this facility. It's critical that we get the community's support."
Jones also read a letter from Beth Gosch, WNY Foundation executive director, which praised The Resource Center for its hard work and excellent patient care.
"The Resource Center is a strong organization impacting the quality of life for its constituents," said Gosch. "We were impressed with the respectful manner in which it treats clients. (The Resource Center) did a good job of substantiating the need for our support in a rural community, and we hope that our support will improve its capacity to help people and strengthen the rural safety net system, realizing that good preventive care up front will save a myriad of costs down the road. (The Resource Center) has been entrepreneurial in its approach to funding and service delivery, and we rank it as one of the strongest human service agencies, if not the strongest, in the area."
According to Riczker, there are plans to expand dental services, as well as the primary care practice in the future, all in order to better serve the community.
"We really appreciate having the new operatory," said Dr. Anne Shear, DDS. "It really came just in time. We found out that one of the long-term dentists in the area has retired, and we've been getting a large number of phone calls from his patients, besides the phone calls that we normally receive. This is really a great thing that the WNY Foundation has done for us, and we really appreciate it."
Jacqueline Chiarot, a representative from U.S. Rep. Tom Reed's office, was also on hand at the ribbon-cutting ceremony to present Steve Riczker with a certificate of recognition for the services that The Resource Center provides to its patients.
"Good dental hygiene is about good self-esteem, personal advancement, the ability to make a good impression when someone is going for a job interview or helping customers," said Assemblyman Andy Goodell, R-C-I Chautauqua County. "It's a full range of benefits for good dental practice that goes well beyond just personal health. It encompasses personal relationships and personal opportunities, so it's really exciting to see this practice grow and expand."
"The program may look small here, but we're really meeting an important need in the community," said Riczker.
The Resource Center Dental Services is located at 896 E. Second St. in Jamestown, and is currently accepting new patients. They also have an office in Dunkirk. For more information, call 661-1431.

To: Interested Parties
From: Marge Baker, People For the American Way
Date: May 4, 2012
Subject: Behind the Scenes, Silent Obstruction of Judicial Nominees
Senate Republicans' systematic obstruction of President Obama's nominees to the federal courts is by now well known. The President's confirmed nominees have on average waited four times as long between committee approval and a vote from the full Senate than did George W. Bush's nominees at this point in his term. The vast majority of these, once the GOP's obstruction options are exhausted, are confirmed overwhelmingly.
What is less well known – and largely hidden in behind-the-scenes Senate procedure – is that this systematic obstruction often begins long before a nominee has been sent from the Judiciary Committee to the Senate floor. In fact, Senate Republicans are routinely using procedural tactics to delay the consideration and approval of the President's judicial nominees by the Judiciary Committee.
This silent obstruction adds another layer of gridlock to an already gridlocked process – and it does so away from the spotlight of the media and the scrutiny of constituents.
Pre-Committee: Withholding Blue Slips
Under procedures adopted by Chairman Leahy as a bipartisan courtesy to his fellow senators, the Judiciary Committee does not consider a judicial nominee until both of that nominee's home-state senators have submitted a "blue slip" allowing the nominee to move forward. The submission of a blue slip does not imply support of the nominee – merely that the nomination should be considered by the Judiciary Committee.
Despite the serious implications of withholding a blue slip, senators can do so without giving a reason and even without a public announcement – making it impossible to know how often the practice occurs. But several recent incidents that have been publicized show just how willing some GOP senators are to prevent unquestionably qualified and mainstream nominees from even reaching a Senate hearing.
In Arizona, a two-year-old emergency vacancy remains unfilled despite the existence of a well-qualified nominee who has been waiting since June 2011 for a Senate hearing. Rosemary Márquez, President Obama's nominee to the District Court based out of Tucson, was rated unanimously qualified by the American Bar Association and has the support of a large cross-section of Arizona's legal community. But Sens. McCain and Kyl have held up Márquez's nomination for ten months by refusing to submit blue slips to the Judiciary Committee.
Márquez is not alone. In February, the President nominated Elissa Cadish, a state district court judge in Nevada, to fill an empty seat on the U.S. District Court. Cadish is widely recognized as being qualified for the federal bench, including by a unanimous panel of the American Bar Association. But Sen. Dean Heller is withholding his blue slip anyway and thus blocking the Judiciary Committee from even considering her nomination.
Heller's objection to Cadish is this: one month before the Supreme Court overturned decades of case law to hold that the Second Amendment guarantees an individual right to bear arms, Cadish stated – accurately – that then-current case law did not recognize such a right. For a nominee for a lower federal court, who is expected to rely on Supreme Court precedent rather than create her own, it was a statement of fact, one that four members of the United States Supreme Court agreed with just a few weeks later. For Heller, it disqualifies her from even being considered for a federal judgeship.
Similarly, Eleventh Circuit nominee Jill Pryor is being kept from a Senate hearing by home-state Republican senators who have already acknowledged that she is qualified for a federal judgeship but want her in a different seat – one on the U.S. District Court. Georgia senators Saxby Chambliss and Johnny Isakson have said that they're fine with Pryor being a federal judge. Pryor's skills and experience aren't in doubt: she's received a host of awards for her work in the courtroom and has been a leader in Georgia's legal community. The senators' beef is simply that they have someone else in mind for the Circuit Court seat the president nominated her to, and they seem willing to keep an emergency vacancy unfilled until they get their way.
All of these nominations are being held hostage by Republican senators who are silently filibustering them by refusing to consent to the Judiciary Committee's even holding hearings on their merits.
In Committee: No-Shows and Routine Delays
Twice this year, Republicans on the Judiciary Committee have prevented nominees from moving forward by simply not showing up at committee hearings and preventing a quorum. These "boycotts" kept the committee from holding votes on nominees who had already had hearings before the committee, further delaying already delayed nominations.
The walk-outs provided a more public accent to what was already routine obstruction by Judiciary Republicans. Committee rules allow the minority party to delay votes on nominees by requesting a one-week holdover, a provision designed to permit members who have questions about a particular nominee to get those questions answered. Under President Bush, such holdover requests were occasionally made to consider particular questions about particular nominees. Under President Obama, Republicans on the Judiciary Committee have used this tactic routinely, holding over all but five of more than 150 nominees.
Senate Republicans have been using nearly every procedural tactic at their disposal to stall President Obama's judicial nominees at every step in the nominations process. Very few of these maneuvers come with explanations, and those that do are often blown far out of proportion.
The result has been a record vacancy crisis in the federal courts, inexcusable delays for Americans seeking justice, and eroded trust in gridlocked Congress.

IBM Loses Two Key Executives to Retirement--Really
Published: May 8, 2008
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
The deck chairs are changing once again at the good ship Big Blue, and this time, not only are the top brass moving into new roles at the company, but some heavy hitters at IBM are trading in their office chairs for Adirondack chairs at their vacation hangouts as they retire from the company. It is hard to get any bluer than Bill Zeitler and Nick Donofrio, but a new team of managers is now being given a chance to try now that these two are retiring from the company in the wake of their impending 60th birthdays.
I know what you are thinking. "Retirement" is just a euphemism for "being fired," right? Not in this case. Since Tom Watson founded IBM nine decades ago, it has been a tradition for the top executives of the company to retire around their 60th birthdays. Even Louis Gerstner, IBM's much-celebrated former chairman and chief executive, and John Thompson, its former vice chairman, retired in 2002 when they were heading toward their 60th birthdays, leaving Sam Palmisano, then the company's president and chief operating officer, at 50, the heir apparent to run the company. Being retired from IBM doesn't mean executives necessarily stop working. Gerstner took a few days off and then became chairman of the defense contractor private equity firm The Carlyle Group after leaving IBM.
Now, it is six years later. Palmisano himself is only four years away from his retirement, and IBM has to start figuring out who is going to run the company. Zeitler, who is general manager of the company's Systems and Technology Group, which designs, makes, markets, and sells servers and storage, never had a chance to take the reins of Big Blue once it became apparent that Gerstner and the IBM board would tap the younger Palmisano for the top job, but it seemed likely back in 2002 that the board might decide, with Gerstner and Thompson leaving, that IBM would keep the president and COO roles alive to start training the next generation of leaders at the company. Steve Mills, general manager of Software Group and as visible at IBM as Zeitler has been, is 55 and is similarly not going to be in the running for the top job, either, unless IBM changes its informal retirement policy.
Zeitler has been at IBM for nearly four full decades (39 years), and that is anywhere from two to eight times as long as any journalists and analysts in the IT sector have been around. (Zeitler has a 2X factor over me, and I am one of the former upstarts and rapidly becoming old farts of the IT trade rag racket.) Zeitler started out as a programmer with IBM back in 1969 and held a number of executive positions before being tapped as general manager of IBM's worldwide software sales and marketing when Software Group was constituted a decade and a half ago; he was eventually given charge of the AS/400 Division, then all of IBM's server brand marketing, and then took over mainframes, and then in 2000 was given control of the entire IBM server portfolio. Zeitler has pushed for the consolidation of IBM's server lines as well as their continuing differentiation at the software level, and has been keen on ramping up sales of chips to external companies and custom (rather than general purpose) computer systems.
Zeitler has been replaced by a PC guy, Bob Moffatt, who joined IBM in 1978, where he handled IBM's supply chain operations (it wasn't even called that back then) and eventually rose to take over as general manager of the company's Personal and Printing Systems Group, the formerly merged PC and printer businesses that IBM has subsequently sold off to Lenovo and Ricoh. Since 2005, Moffatt has been senior vice president of Integrated Operations, which included running IBM's supply chains, call centers, and customer fulfillment operations. Moffatt may or may not know a 9672 from a 9406 from a 9117, but he knows how the guts of IBM's operations that actually make equipment work. Ironically, IBM's supply chain has been increasingly offshored to China and substantially reduced as the company has exited the disk drive, PC, printer, network equipment, and a number of other businesses. (Hopefully, Moffatt's appointment doesn't mean that IBM is selling off its server business any time soon. . . . Then again, I would not be surprised by much in this wacky IT world.)
Donofrio, as vice president of innovation and technology, is a real computer scientist who also once ran IBM's mainframe division, too. His is almost certainly the highest ranking PhD at Big Blue, and has more honorary degrees and awards from the universities of the world than any other public-facing IBMer, too. His job in the past decade at IBM has been to find technical talent and bring it to IBM Research and the other divisions and to make sure that the company also retains the talent that it has; Donofrio has also been one of the key--if not the key--strategic leaders at the company, helping IBM find the right technical stars to steer its business ship by. Rather than try to replace Donofrio, the executives of IBM's various technical units will now report directly Palmisano.
There were a number of other appointments, which you can read in Palmisano's letter below to his fellow IBMers:
Dear IBMer:
I am writing to tell you of the upcoming retirements of two people who have played seminal roles in the modern IBM company.
Nick Donofrio, Executive Vice President, Innovation and Technology, will retire on October 1, 2008, after an IBM career of 44 years. Nick joined the company in 1964 as a co-op, and proceeded to build a rich career of technology leadership. His broad portfolio of responsibilities and his strong personal relationships with leaders in business, government and academia all over the world are testament to the breadth of his impact. Nick has truly been IBM's Mr. Innovation--not only as the leader of our global technology strategy, but also as the conscience for much of our societal and policy-related efforts, especially in the area of career opportunities for minorities and women. He has inspired tens of thousands of IBMers with his boundless energy, bottomless curiosity, and unfailing optimism.
Bill Zeitler, Senior Vice President and Group Executive, Systems and Technology Group, will also retire, effective August 1, after 39 years at the company. One way of looking at Bill's rich and accomplished career is by the many parts of IBM he's led. But when I think of the imprint he has left on our company, I see a close colleague whose imagination and courage pushed IBM into new markets and helped us take advantage of important turning points--launching the AS/400, leading sales and marketing for our software business during its formative years, embracing Linux and, most recently, leading the systems business through a period of extraordinary change.
I have worked side by side with Bill and Nick for many, many years. Aside from their contributions to our business success, they have embodied the best of our values. I will personally miss their counsel. I know all IBMers join me in thanking them for their decades of leadership and for their example.
I am pleased to announce the following appointments:
Bob Moffat will succeed Bill as Senior Vice President and Group Executive, Systems and Technology Group, effective July 1. Integrated Supply Chain will continue to report to Bob.
Tim Shaughnessy, Vice President and Controller, will become Senior Vice President, Services Delivery, reporting to Mike Daniels in Global Technology Services. Tim will be succeeded as IBM Controller by Jim Kavanaugh. Both Tim and Jim assumed their new positions as of May 2.
Nick will not be replaced, per se--in many ways, his role and leadership at IBM are unique. Upon Nick's retirement, John Kelly and Linda Sanford will report to me. They, along with senior vice presidents Jon Iwata and Bob Weber, will assume responsibility for teams that currently report to Nick. Details of those reassignments will be announced shortly.
Lastly, I want to thank Bruce Harreld for his strong leadership of IBM Marketing over the past two years, and for encouraging deeper collaboration between Marketing and Communications. We have seen tangible benefits from this collaboration, and now it is time to take that to the next level. In that regard, I am pleased to announce that Jon Iwata will become Senior Vice President, Marketing and Communications, effective July 1. Bruce will become Senior Vice President, Strategy, on that date. Both Jon and Bruce will continue to report to me.
I know you all join me in congratulating our colleagues on their new roles.

Don't Scorn, Organize
By Chip Berlet, senior analyst & Amy Hoffman, editor, The Public Eye
For the Democratic Party, the midterm elections could have been worse—but not much. Christine O'Donnell and Sharon Angle lost (we never dreamed we would find ourselves rooting for the centrist, pugilistic Harry Reid [D-NV]); Senators Barbara Boxer (D-CA) and Barbara Mikulski (D-MD) are in. Here in Massachusetts we retained our Democratic governor and congressional delegation, while our junior Senator Scott Brown (R-MA) has gone from Tea Party hero to Tea Party villain in less than one year.
However, at the same time, Russ Feingold (D-WI) is out. Rand Paul (R-KY) and Marco Rubio (R-FL) are in. The proud obstructionist John Boehner (R-OH) is poised to become House majority leader. And the Republican takeover of state legislatures post-census means they will be drawing the next decade's election districts.
The questions on our minds in the aftermath are, "How could this have happened?" less than two years after the inspiring inauguration of the country's first Black president, and "Now what?" How it happened is of course wildly complicated—an unholy mix of Wall Street venality, media distortions, economic recession, racist backlash, nativism, and the focusing of peoples' grievances onto scapegoats.
President Obama and the Democrats failed to communicate their accomplishments: the passage of health insurance reform and financial re-regulation; withdrawal from Iraq. At the same time, Republicans, conservative pundits, and business leaders had no compunctions about spreading lies about death panels, defunding of Medicare, the ineffectiveness of the stimulus, and so forth. Many people are convinced that during the Obama administration taxes on the middle class have risen—they've gone down—and that the economy has shrunk—it's grown, albeit slowly.
It's notable that although turnout in the November election was generally high, both African Americans and young people voted in significantly lower numbers than they had in the Presidential election. It may not have been so much the zeitgeist that shifted as it was the large number of voters who saw no hope for change and thus no reason to vote.
And then of course, there are the Tea Parties. We believe that dismissing them as Astroturf—fake grassroots—or deriding them as crazy is inaccurate and dangerous. Social movements are often volatile, especially in their early stages. Given another economic downturn or major terrorist attack, Tea Party militants could be attracted to the growing, armed, citizens-militia movement. Even without a provocative "trigger event," Tea Partiers are in a position to demand worrisome concessions from the Republican Party.
According to Michael Barkun, a scholar who studies apocalyptic and conspiracist movements, part of the explanation for the emergence of the Tea Parties is that "income inequality has been rising for nearly thirty years but was masked for most of that time by the availability of easy credit and rising home values, which allowed people to use their houses as ATMs." After the recession hit, with "credit constricted and home prices collapsing, the reality of income inequality began to sink in" for a lot of people. That reality, says Barkun, "has been there for a long time. But the perception is new, a product of the crisis of the last three years, and that perception is shared by both the employed and the jobless."
Despite their rhetoric, the Tea Partiers are not really antigovernment; most undoubtedly want schools, roads and public transportation, sanitation and stewardship of the environment, protection from crime, fire, and natural disasters—and their enthusiasm for military spending is generally undimmed. They're just against a government that, as they see it, drains away their money in taxes and redistributes it to the undeserving poor. Devin Burghart and Leonard Zeskind, in their report Tea Party Nationalism [see page XX], debunk the Tea Parties' self-invented myths, particularly their supposedly sole concentration on budget deficits, taxes, and the power of the federal government. In the ranks, an abiding obsession with Barack Obama's birth certificate is often a stand-in for the belief that the first Black president of the United States is not a "real American."
They find the "Tea Party ranks to be permeated with concerns about race and national identity." In a study of the Tea Party, the University of Washington political scientist Christopher Parker found that many Tea Party loyalists harbor troubling biases against Blacks, Latinos/Latinas, immigrants, and LGBT people.
Newly elected Tea Partiers' loyalties are not to their political party but rather to their ideology, haphazard though it often seems. They may refuse to cooperate not only with Democrats but also with Republicans. This may diminish the Republicans' ability to pass legislation and tempt Boehner to keep the Tea Partiers out of his hair by unleashing them in congressional investigations—of Obama's birth certificate, voter fraud, Muslim "terrorists," immigrant "anchor babies," and other hot-button issues.
Even with Tea Party support, though, the Republicans will have trouble delivering on their promise of small government and balanced budgets, since the military allocation is for them sacrosanct, and Medicare and Social Security the proverbial third rails. All that's left is the minuscule area of social programs, which even if it were eliminated altogether would barely make a dent in the deficit.
The Democrats, for their part, will find themselves between a rock and a hard place. Cave to Republican demands for immigration "reform" that's all prisons and barbed wire with no path to citizenship, for example, and they lose the support of Latinos and others in their base. Resist, and they are accused of undermining the American worker.
More than 25% of voters said they were primarily angry and frustrated with government, and some 85% of them voted for Republicans in House races. Many, however, are not yet Tea Party true believers.
To reach out to these people, the Democrats must shed their historical terror of being called soft on defense, unpatriotic, tax-and-spenders, liberals, coddlers of lazy, shiftless parasites. Holly Sklar, a progressive strategist, told The Public Eye that one way to gain a foothold among the White working class, small-business owners, and many white-collar workers is for progressive organizers to breathe new life into the slogan that the U.S. economy should be helping "Main Street not Wall Street." Democrats should hammer on the realities of the U.S. budget; the benefits that education, healthcare, housing, childcare, and other social programs bring to everyone in society; the wisdom of investing in sustainable technologies; and the security guaranteed by responsible membership in a global community. Unfortunately, if past performance is any predictor, the Democrats are more likely to tack to the center in pursuit of the Republicans than to chart a new course.
PRA's founder and President Emerita Jean Hardisty has long said that the political Right started listening to grievances from the grassroots just as the Left stopped. PRA allies Suzanne Pharr and Paulina Hernandez, along with other shrewd progressives, call on those who want real change to get together with others who "experience similar conditions and share their desires for a different world." Depending solely on Internet organizing and Get Out the Vote campaigns is not enough, they say, because "no base is built, no community power is increased." In contrast, groups such as Working America showed in the recent election that door-to-door, face-to-face campaigning can pull people away from their attraction to Glenn Beck and the Tea Parties.
In other words, say Pharr and Hernandez, "Organize! Organize! Organize!"

Love a Little Better
Bottom line: You had the opportunity to buy her a gift and you didn't do it. Will you pay for that down the road? Personally, I wouldn't want to roll those dice.
Thankfully, there are alternatives. You can, in fact, turn your back on the mountain of V-Day junk at Walmart
The idea here is simple: Be proactive. You have to participate, but as you do you can choose to raise the level of the cultural conversation by some small degree. You win, she wins, everybody wins.
My few suggestions are all related to music I happen to like -- take them or leave them but, hopefully, if you choose to do the latter you can catch the spirit and apply this same thinking to other areas more specific to your Valentine.
No. 1: They're Playing Your Song
If there's a local jazz club, or a restaurant that has live jazz, go for it. Reserve a table, pick up a single rose, have nice dinner and enjoy the band.
Obvious, right? But this simple choice is magical in its effect.
Assuming the musicians are being paid, your money is going into the grassroots pockets of the culture business. You're also showing the local restaurant that hiring a band does indeed draw in customers. With that, your money is already working doubletime.
From your date's perspective, nothing is more romantic than jazz -- except, maybe, you. Even when you don't know a whole lot about the music, it still has a flirtatious appeal.
All those sultry jazz associations from old, black-and-white movies? They haven't faded one bit but are just lingering there in our collective subconscious, waiting to be activated. (Just don't say, Here's looking at you, kid. Bogart's ghost is likely to step out of the shadows and slap you.)

As the temps rise, Executive Chef Michael McLaurin of Del Frisco's Grille in Palm Beach offers his recipe to stay cool with this refreshing kale and Brussels sprout summer salad. (561-557-2552)
"We take raw Brussels sprouts and shave them very thin (1/8 of a inch, to be exact) with baby kale—which is a lot milder than mature kale, with a flavor profile similar to baby arugula (with less bite).
"Next, we add chopped marcona almonds, which are sometimes referred to as the 'queen of almonds.' They are sweeter and more buttery than your regular almond.
"Up next are the dry cranberries and orange segments. Toss on our house-made creole mustard aioli. Top it with a 60-day aged manchego cheese, which has a firm and compact consistency and a buttery texture."
The full recipe is below. Enjoy!
You will need:
- ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- ¼ cup cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp. course-ground creole mustard
- 2 tbsp. fresh orange juice
- ½ tsp. kosher salt
- 4 oz. Brussels sprouts, leaves only
- 6 orange segments
- 1 oz. crushed marcona almonds
- 1 oz. dried cranberry
- ½ oz. shredded manchego cheese
Place olive oil, vinegar, creole mustard, orange juice and salt in small bowl; whisk to create creole vinaigrette. Let vinaigrette sit at room temperature for 1 hour prior to use. Combine Brussels sprouts leaves, almonds, cranberries and orange segments in stainless steel bowl; toss with 1 oz. of vinaigrette and coat ingredients, then transfer to chilled salad plate. Top with manchengo and serve.
