Memories of Monday
More than two days since a deadly attack at the Boston Marathon that injured more than 150 individuals and killing three, residents in Boston are trying to move on. Two former area residents now residing in Boston are recounting what happened during that unfortunate day.
Former Fredonia resident Keriann Ketcham moved to Boston in December. She was about a block away from the bombings on her lunch break.
"I just went down to go grocery shopping. It was just a couple blocks away where the finish line was," Ketcham said. "My receipt said 2:44 and the first bomb went off at 2:51 (p.m.) I could see the finish line but I had to get back to work so I wasn't right there (where the bombs went off). If I didn't have to go back to work, I probably would have been walking toward that area."
While returning to work, Ketcham said she heard the two bombs go off. Ketcham, who was walking alone, said she heard the explosions but could not talk to anyone about what is going on. Most people on the street looked up to the sky. Ketcham called the whole ordeal "terrifying and scary."
"The street just went silent. Everyone turned and instinctively looked up to the sky. I even heard someone in the street say 'It could have been a truck,'" Ketcham said. "I keep walking and 12 seconds later, it happened again. That (explosion) was louder because we were a couple blocks closer. The looks on people's faces were terrifying. I looked over to the police officers directing traffic and they were on their cell phones and started running to the finish line."
Ketcham said she got back on the subway and went back to work. She tried looking up online what the noise had been with no avail. About 10 minutes later, Ketcham received a text message asking if she was OK and that is when she heard about the bombings. She was overwhelmed by the amount of people showing concern for her.
"All the phone lines went down because they thought people were setting off the bombs through their cell phones, and no one could reach me. It was weird being on that end. I'm a runner and some people even thought I would be running. Just the amount of people I haven't heard from in so long asking 'Are you OK?'… It's really comforting knowing that so many people care," Ketcham said.
Even with the bombings, Ketcham said she felt safe in the city and was not nervous to go home Monday night. Her roommate, she said, had stayed at work until police cleared the area. Ketcham, who works in an immigration law firm, said one of the clients works at a hospital and was telling about the cooperation among everyone on Tuesday.
"One of our clients works at one of the big hospitals. She came in (Tuesday) … and she was telling from her perspective, saying how she has never seen such a vast and quick response from the hospital. It was swift and well organized," she said.
Shawn Bingham from Jamestown has lived in Boston for eight months now. He said he was on the subway headed toward downtown when the bombings happened.
"I was probably a few stops before downtown crossing when they told us about it. They didn't tell us exactly what happened but said it was a medical emergency, and we weren't going to be stopping at downtown," Bingham said. "You felt the rumbles in the station. So hearing a boom on a train coming from above, you think it's another train passing by."
Bingham said he had to get off the subway and started walking. He ended up walking the wrong way by accident and was walking toward the finish line of the marathon.
"I started walking toward South Station but I didn't know what way to go. I ended up walking toward (the bombings). When I'm walking that way you could see all the cops, you couldn't get really close. Even with all the cops it smelled like charred flesh. It was really, really bad," he said.
Bingham said he got onto a bus to finish going to South Station, and that is when he found out about the bombings when two women were discussing the incidents. Since the bombings, the city of Boston is trying to get back to normal. Both Ketcham and Bingham noted there has been beefed up security on the subways. Police have been doing random baggage checks.
"On the subways, at pretty much all the stops there are armed guards … with big guns doing random baggage checks. Lots of them everywhere," Ketcham said.
Bingham said riding the subway the past two days compared to the past two months has been "nerve-wracking." He also said police are starting to check bus passengers in addition to subway riders. The atmosphere is still a bit eerie in the city, according to Ketcham but many are trying to return to their normal routines.
"It was quiet and kind of eerie. (Tuesday), on the subway and in the downtown area, people were morose. (Wednesday) it seems like people were more calm and back to normal," she said.
Bingham said he was proud of the city for keeping their cool throughout the day on Monday.
"I have to commend the city overall. (The incident) was completely unexpected but people did not lose their heads. You have to give props to a city like Boston to pull through something like that," he said. "People were pretty calm, that's a big thing I noticed. People were remaining calm, even EMT workers."
While both Ketcham and Bingham escaped without injury, both kept the victims of the tragedy in their minds. Bingham said he would like to volunteer to help the victims and their families by raising money. Ketcham wishes no other tragedies of this magnitude happens again.
"I hope everybody is OK and stuff like this just stops happening," she said.

Womens Sitting Team Defeats Ukraine Falls to China

@USA_Volleyball - USAV Facebook
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (July 13, 2012) –The U.S. Women's Sitting Volleyball Team split matches on Friday in exhibition play, defeating Ukraine and falling to China.
Team USA, ranked second in the world along with No. 1 ranked China and No. 3 ranked Ukraine is partaking in three days of double headers in Shanghai to prepare for the 2012 London Paralympic Games.
In its first match of the day the U.S. defeated Ukraine, 26-28, 25-16, 25-12, 25-12. With a highly contested first set Team USA regained composure and controlled the rest of the match with complete dominance.
Katie Holloway (Lake Stevens, Wash./UCO Resident Athlete) was the lead scorer, contributing 22 points on 15 kills, three blocks and four service aces.
Without time to rest the U.S. then took on the heavy hitters from China
losing in three sets, 25-16, 25-20, 27-25.
Holloway again charted a high-scoring game with 20 points off of 16 kills, two blocks and two service aces
"These are the tough matches that we need to prepare for, for the
Paralympics," Head Coach Bill Hamiter said about the China match. "We are being
pushed to execute at a high consistent level. We are doing some wonderful things
against the world's best team but we have to pass more efficiently against their
tough serving."
Team USA will wrap up play Saturday against China at 11 a.m. (8 p.m. PST) and Ukraine at 3 p.m. (12 p.m. PST).

Why Apple's Stock Is an Undeniable 'Buy' Right Now (Update 1)
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Apple (AAPL) has wildly underperformed other technology stocks of late, making the shares a bargain as the company enters the holiday-shopping season with a new iPhone, iPad mini and Mac laptops. That's what many Wall Street analysts are saying.
Over the past three months, Apple shares have lost 18.6%, compared to a loss of 7.3% for the technology benchmark Nasdaq. Year-to-date, the stock is up 38% vs. a gain of 11.5% for the Nasdaq.
Topeka Capital Markets analyst Brian White believes the recent under-performance might be over. He called the sell-off in Apple shares "insanely insane," given the valuation at which Apple shares are trading. According to White's calculations, Apple is trading at 7.6 times 2013 earnings, excluding cash.
"Those investors that have missed Apple or have been under-weight the stock, now have another opportunity to buy Apple before sentiment takes a turn for the positive during what has historically been the strongest quarter of the year for the stock," White wrote in his note. He has a buy rating on Apple with a $1,111 price target on the stock, the highest on Wall Street.
There are several theories why Apple shares have slumped. They include consumers tiring of Apple products, a lack of innovation, and competition from the likes of Samsung, Google (GOOG) , Amazon (AMZN) and others.
There is also concern that Apple's incredibly wide gross profit margins may shrink, as the company announces new products at lower price points ( Apple's iPad Mini: What It Means for Investors ) and gets squeezed by suppliers.
There are factors outside of the technology industry that are weighing on the stock as well. The so-called fiscal cliff in the U.S., a weak European economy and year-end tax-related selling are among them.
Apple: Here's Why the Stock Will Go On an Epic Run
Though Apple has had its share of negative press, the company has bright prospects going into the all-important holiday-shopping season -- and into 2013. The iPhone 5 is a hit, having sold 5 million units its first weekend. The iPad mini has been well-received by journalists and consumers alike.
The redesigned iMac, scheduled for release later this month and in December, was the most eye-catching product at Apple's October product launch. In other words, Apple has plenty going for it.
The added speculation of an Apple-branded television set could also be a major catalyst, says Baird Equity Research William Power. "Though timing and approach remain unclear, this remains a sizeable potential opportunity, and importantly could help reaffirm its innovation edge," Power wrote in his note. He rates Apple at outperform with a $750 price target.

This week, let's work together on 5 small steps that will enable you to worry less and feel more in control—so that it takes less effort to manage your finances this fall.
Most people don't know which financial documents to keep and which to toss—so they save it all, says professional organizer Lisa Zaslow, author of "Can I Just Shred It All?".
Solution: A fast, flexible filing system based on keeping ONLY the documents you need, in big folders (which you can subdivide on an as-needed basis). For now, focus on broad categories—"and set up your 2011 files, while you're at it," suggests Zaslow.
Supplies: Two flat-bottomed, expandable hanging folders; manila file folders; labels; about one hour—and a good friend. "People get more done with a buddy," she says. Put on a scary movie, pour some wine, then...
What to Keep
Stash the following papers in individual folders, labeled as follows:
|Personal tax items
|Business-related tax items
|Bank statements
|Credit card statements
|Retirement account statements
|Investment account records
|Insurance policies: life, health, home, car, etc.
|Home: mortgage and property tax docs; repair records
|Medical: bills, claims, FSA records, prescriptions
|Car: title, AAA membership, repair records
|Kid stuff: tuition receipts, permission slips, calendars
What to Shred
It's OK to ditch the following, unless you need them for business tax purposes or to track your own expenses.
|Paystubs (Unless you plan to reconcile them with your W-2, there's no need to keep them, Zaslow says.)
|Utility, heat, cable, phone bills
|Personal credit and charge card receipts
|Rent bills
|ATM, grocery, gas receipts
|Set a date to declutter. What do you dread most?

YMC Board to advertise bids for office remodel
GRANITE FALLS – After a presentation by representatives of Wold Architects and Engineers and the Contegrity Group Inc. Construction Management Services, the Yellow Medicine County Board voted 3-2 on Tuesday to go forward and advertise bids for an extensive remodeling of the Fagen building.
The county bought the Fagen building last October for $450,000 to remodel for county government offices. Since then, there have been unexpected extra expenses when an inspection revealed the roof would have to be replaced as part of the remodel.
According to a budget review by Contegrity, the estimated cost of the remodeling project comes to about $717,600. Optional alternates involving work on the east office area and exterior drive-through would add another $25,000 to the project.
Commissioner Gary Johnson, voting against advertising the bids, argued for waiting another two weeks to consider the plans.
"I don't make decisions on three-quarters of a million dollars on an hour's viewing," Johnson said.
Commissioner Louis Sherlin joined Johnson in voting to delay a decision until the next meeting.
After a discussion with retired County Parks Director Myron Hagelstrom, the board voted to advertise for a new park director to see if there was any interest in the position.
Hagelstrom retired after 33 years in the part-time position at the end of last year and has been donating his services free of charge to help the county transition to a arrangement for park maintenance. The board discussed alternatives, such as folding the duties of the park department into the highway department.
After an emotional appeal from Veterans Services Office Michelle Gatz, the county approved her request to upgrade the position of her assistant from a 19-hour-per-week position to 30 hours. At issue were benefits, which by union contract kick in at 20 hours per week. Upgrading the position to full time would add $16,000 to the expense of maintaining the $13.93 per hour position.
Gatz pointed out that when she took over the position 12 years ago there were only five active benefits claims, bringing in about $400,000 to county veterans. Today there are 105 active claims involving benefits of about $3 million.
Gatz argued that with changes in regulations making veterans claims harder to process, veterans would suffer from delays and denied claims that have to be appealed under the office's present workload.

we have two possibilities either:
Medina on FRIDAY 16th [we could use the venue for free. there are already two acts playing, organised by the new manager, Ed Stacks. it is a friday night therefore should attract many. it is near the forest so we can put a big temporary sign on forest cafe to say 'turn the corner to bring us back to life!' this venue is under new management and seems to be taking a new turn in life, so it's cool to support it]
or Bongo on SUNDAY 18th. this would be a completely different vibe, if we could fill it, amazing, but .. The venue hire is £250 [which is a big sum of money for this short notice, hence why medina is more tempting at this late notice.. it would be super to hold a big night here but its not worth doing if not enough people come. . therefore i think the better option is Medina unless if there are loud enthusiastic responses soon ]
it is the university's 'freshers' week still for both these nights, so hopefully we'll get lots of them along but we'd need a decent line up of people and at the moment we havent had many confirmations
Please share your thoughts and let us know if you can perform! Contact email@example.com

Ransom Wines & Spirits started in 1997 and began distilling gin 10 years later. The boutique winery and distillery in Sheridan, Oregon, now produces one of the finest gins on the market. Ransom's Old Tom Gin is a "historically accurate" re-creation of a gin style called Old Tom that was at the height of its popularity during the mid-1800s. Well, Old Tom gin is so good a comeback was inevitable.
Originally (in mid-18th century England) Old Tom gin was akin to the genever style of gin, both of which are more flavorful than the London Dry style and use a mixture of grain mash and infused botanicals. Old Tom was barrel-aged while the finished product was transported from city to city.
Ransom's distillation process for Old Tom Gin is a slight variation on the original methods. The process begins with two distillations — a whiskey wort and one with neutral grain spirits infused with gin botanicals (juniper, orange peel, lemon peel, coriander seed, angelica root and cardamom pods). These two are combined and distilled once more to create the Old Tom style, which is then aged in oak barrels. The result is a lightly bronze-colored gin that I like to call the whiskey drinker's gin.
A handful of flavors come through in a single sip of Ransom Old Tom Gin — the initial citrus of the orange, juniper and lemon peel is wonderfully balanced by the herbal components, which seem to be enhanced by the oak aging. The finish is malty and slightly sweet like a whiskey, but there's a subtle spiciness as well. Ransom Old Tom Gin is fantastic neat or on the rocks with a slice of lemon.
If you're looking to use this gin in cocktails, it's best to head back in time. The pre-Prohibition Martinez cocktail — a precursor to the martini — is a good place to start. Combining Old Tom gin, sweet vermouth and a dash of bitters, the Martinez enhances just about every flavor in the spirit. Till Dynamic Fare on King Avenue serves an excellent Martinez ($9) that uses top-notch vermouth and bitters. Till's addition of a maraschino cherry adds a Manhattan-esque sweetness.

NYPA to Hold Public Hearing on Hydropower Contract for St. Lawrence County Economic Development
Paul DeMichele
(914) 390-8186
May 4, 2012
WHITE PLAINS—The New York Power Authority (NYPA) will hold a public hearing next week on a proposed contract for the sale of up to 20 megawatts (MW) of low-cost hydropower from NYPA's St. Lawrence-Franklin D. Roosevelt Power Project to support economic development in St. Lawrence County. The meeting will be held on Thursday, May 10, from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., at St. Lawrence-FDR's Frank S. McCullough Jr. Hawkins Point Visitors Center at 830 Barnhart Island Road in Massena.
The Power Authority will review the public comments following the hearing. Written statements provided to NYPA by May 11 will also become part of the record of the hearing, which was authorized in March (http://www.nypa.gov/Press/2012/120327c.html). The proposed contract will then be submitted to the NYPA Trustees for their approval before going to Governor Andrew M. Cuomo for his consideration, as required by New York law.
The proposed contract, which is available for review with the applicable rate information on the NYPA website (www.nypa.gov/trustees/contracts), is with the Town of Massena Electric Department (MED).
The Massena Electric Department, which is authorized by New York law to purchase power from NYPA, currently receives nearly 24 megawatts of cost-based hydropower for its retail customers from NYPA's Niagara Power Project.
A new category of St. Lawrence power would be sold to MED at cost-based rates, with the power resold to the qualified end users at no mark-up beyond costs incurred by MED. The proposed power contract would extend to September 2025. The St. Lawrence River Valley Redevelopment Agency and St. Lawrence County Industrial Development Agency would be involved in the review and recommendation process for applications for the low-cost power.
The proposed allotment of power would be drawn from hydropower recaptured from out-of-state users during the federal relicensing in 2003 of the St. Lawrence-FDR project.
About NYPA:
■ The New York Power Authority uses no tax money or state credit. It finances its operations through the sale of bonds and revenues earned in large part through sales of electricity. ■ NYPA is a leader in promoting energy efficiency, new energy technologies and electric transportation initiatives. ■ It is the nation's largest state public power organization, with 17 generating facilities in various parts of New York State and more than 1,400 circuit-miles of transmission lines. ■ Approximately 80 percent of the electricity it produces is clean renewable hydropower. Its lower-cost power production and electricity purchases support hundreds of thousands of jobs throughout the state. ■For more information, www.nypa.gov.

You will be surprised by the number of weird phobias that can be found in the dictionary. Can you imagine that laughing can be a phobia? Yes, some people are afraid to laugh. Some of the weird phobias include fear of sitting down. Now, how can you avoid that? Well, there are many weird phobias in this world. In fact, whatever you can think of can be a phobia. There are people afraid of gaining knowledge and also of working. Still more are afraid of crossing the road. Although we feel like laughing at some of these weird phobias, imagine the condition of the person facing them!
Phobias lead to anxiety attacks and depression. Such people prefer to lead a secluded life, for fear of being laughed at. They feel terrible to face the world and own up to their weird phobias. It has been observed that phobias result to the perception of our own environment. Some people have a weird way of looking at the world around us. You will be surprised to know the various things that people can be afraid of. A lady was horrified of seeing buttons. She used to throw up the moment she glimpsed buttons.
But there is a way around all this. There is a way to treat these weird phobias. Psychotherapy and counseling go a long way in curing you from these phobias. In case of depression, fish oil has been found to be a good cure. Many patients of depression have been cured by the administration of fish oil. But God help those people who have a phobia of fish oil! If it is one of the weird phobias that you have, then the very mention of fish will drive you nuts. But, do get yourself a psychotherapy course, and you will feel the change in yourself.

Recognition of Service
Statements By Members

Daryl Kramp Prince Edward—Hastings, ON
Mr. Speaker, today I am doubly proud to congratulate two gentlemen from the riding of Prince Edward—Hastings who have recently been awarded prestigious honours for their service to Canadians.
On November 4, Dr. Robert McMurtry of Picton became a member of the Order of Canada.
Dr. McMurtry, an orthopedic surgeon, created Canada's first trauma unit at Sunnybrook Hospital and has been instrumental in strengthening health care delivery in Canada and making a positive difference in the lives of others.
As well, Mr. Martin Vermeer, a retired Canadian Forces veteran, recently received the Minister of Veterans Affairs Commendation. Throughout his lifetime Mr. Vermeer served the community of veterans with distinction and dedication.
On behalf of my constituents from Prince Edward—Hastings and all Canadians, I say congratulations to Dr. McMurtry and Mr. Vermeer.
Attawapiskat State of Emergency
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Charlie Angus Timmins—James Bay, ON
Mr. Speaker, it has been three weeks since the Attawapiskat First Nation declared a state of emergency, and in those three weeks, not a single federal or provincial official has even bothered to visit the community. Not a single aid agency has stepped forward with logistical support, but in Attawapiskat, conditions have gone from bad to worse.
Temperatures have dropped 20 degrees. They are likely to drop another 20 degrees in the coming weeks. Families in non-insulated tents and families in makeshift sheds without water or electricity are facing immediate risk. "Immediate risk" is the language being used by medical officials in the community, meaning immediate risk from infection, from disease and from fire.
There are children who are using a bucket for a toilet. This is unacceptable in Canada, and it is unacceptable that although their territory holds the richest diamond mine in the western world, those royalties go to Queen's Park and Ottawa, and nothing comes back to help this community get on its feet.
Where is the action plan to help the people of Attawapiskat?

Randy Hoback Prince Albert, SK
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to give tribute to an honoured Canadian, the Reverend Sandy Scott.
Reverend Scott will be awarded the Meritorious Service Medal by His Excellency the Governor General this coming January.
Sandy served with a team of six Canadian chaplains in Kandahar, Afghanistan, from the fall of 2009 to the spring of 2010.
In October Captain Scott was promoted to major, following his appointment as the deputy area chaplain of Land Forces Western Areas. He also recently received an award of merit from the City of Prince Albert during its 43rd Armistice Day Ball.
Sandy continues to serve in Prince Albert as Reverend Scott of St. Paul's Presbyterian Church, as padre for the Royal Canadian Legion and as the Prince Albert Police Service chaplain.
On behalf of all colleagues in the House of Commons, I thank Sandy for his service to Canada, his service to our soldiers and his continued service to our community.
Buckam Singh

November 21st, 2011 / 2:05 p.m.
Eve Adams Mississauga—Brampton South, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise in the House today to pay tribute to a great Canadian and one of the true heroes of the Sikh community in my riding of Mississauga—Brampton South.
Private Buckam Singh is one of only ten Sikh Canadian soldiers to have fought with a Canadian regiment during the First World War.
Private Singh's story had been forgotten over time, until his victory medal was discovered in a thrift shop by Sandeep Singh Brar of Brampton.
Through hard work, Mr. Brar was able to help piece together Private Singh's story and trace it to his gravesite in Kitchener, where he is the only known Sikh Canadian soldier from either the First or Second World War to be buried on Canadian soil.
Private Singh has rightfully become part of our Canadian military history, and his story should be told as yet another example of the courageous women and men in our armed forces who stood up to defend the freedoms Canadians are so blessed to have.
I hope everyone in the House today will join with me in saluting Private Singh and his sacrifice and bravery.
Lest we forget.
White Birch Paper
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Raymond Côté Beauport—Limoilou, QC
Mr. Speaker, last Wednesday, the 600 workers at White Birch Paper learned that the Quebec City mill, located in my riding, will be temporarily shut down two weeks before Christmas. This mill is running at full capacity with three shifts and a full order book.
Brant Industries, which owns White Birch Paper, is being sued in the United States by creditors of a paper mill for imposing astronomical management fees.
The receiver, Ernst & Young, has indicated that White Birch Papers has $53 million in cash assets.
When will we stop tolerating the behaviour of the Gordon Gekkos of the world? Just like the famous character in the movie Wall Street, Peter Brant has no regard for the interests of thousands of workers, retirees and people who do business with White Birch Papers. This anti-social behaviour is unacceptable. We cannot put up with these thousands of human tragedies caused by the whims of a single man.
On May 2, Canadians were vocal about their distaste for the repeated abuses and the reprehensible complicity we have seen from government.
This must stop.
Canadian Wheat Board
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Bob Zimmer Prince George—Peace River, BC
Mr. Speaker, it has been my honour to be part of the legislative committee tasked with focusing on the marketing freedom for western farmers act.
When implemented, this legislation will allow western Canadian grain farmers, including those in the B.C. Peace River region, the opportunity to finally decide when, where and how they sell their product.
We are not killing the Canadian Wheat Board, but quite the opposite: we are allowing it to compete in an open market.
I think David Wuthrich, president of the BC Grain Producers Association, said it best in a local news article:
We want choice, it's not that we want them to disappear. This is their opportunity to show they are the best option, and so far they haven't done that.
I personally agree with Mr. Wuthrich, but we do have a long way to go and a short time to get there. I am proud to say this freight train of freedom is coming soon to western Canadian wheat farmers near us.

Ruth Ellen Brosseau Berthier—Maskinongé, QC
Mr. Speaker, I find the continued existence of and the increase in poverty in Canada extremely worrisome.
According to the Hunger Count 2011 Report, released on November 16 by Banques alimentaires Québec, the use of food banks has increased by 22% in Quebec since 2008. What is more, 15.6% of people used a food bank for the first time. Nearly three times as many seniors are using food banks and nearly half of the households asking for help are families with children. This situation is very troubling.
In my riding, unemployment is high and the population is aging. These factors obviously affect the need for food aid. The Louiseville organization called Le Noël du pauvre has noticed an increase in requests for help.
I feel it is our duty, as elected members, to work to implement measures that will fight poverty in Canada. I am committed to doing just that, as are my NDP colleagues, and I urge the government to do the same.
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Brian Jean Fort McMurray—Athabasca, AB
Mr. Speaker, the NDP opposes creating jobs and attacks Canada abroad. The anti-trade NDP has a long history of attacking Canadian jobs, whether it is mining, the seal industry, forestry, automobile manufacturing, long haul trucking, GM food producers or the nuclear or oil and gas segments of the energy sector. All were opposed.
The NDP pretends to be mainstream but it is clear that the NDP is just a political front for the narrow interests of public sector union bosses and radical activists.
The fact that the NDP is focused on special interest groups and anti-Canadian activists tells us everything we need to know. The NDP opposes creating jobs. Worse, in this time of global economic uncertainty, it is actively attacking Canada abroad. The NDP members should be ashamed of themselves. It is obvious that they are not fit to govern.
Our Conservative government is focused on job creation and economic growth. While the NDP tries to hurt Canada, our Conservative government stands with Canadians for the best interests of Canada.
Stephen Turner Memorial Fund
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Wayne Easter Malpeque, PE
Mr. Speaker, I rise today in the House to recognize the Stephen Turner Memorial Fund. Stephen Turner was a UPEI and Holland College graduate, a community leader, a great Liberal and a friend to all whose life was taken far too soon in his youth.
Stephen gave so much of himself to his community that it seems only right that he continue to give even in his passing. Stephen's friends and family have made sure that his memory and character stay alive by encouraging the values of leadership, political participation and academic success of youth on Prince Edward Island.
The memorial fund in his name in the form of a scholarship will be awarded annually to a student who attends an Island post-secondary institution and who has shown interest within and commitment to the political process and community organizations on P.E.I.
On behalf of Islanders and this House, I thank Stephen's friends and family who so kindly created this memorial fund so that Stephen's legacy as a community leader could live on.

Jacques Gourde Lotbinière—Chutes-de-la-Chaudière, QC
Mr. Speaker, every man, woman and child has the right to respect, dignity and pride. Every year, innocent people are the victims of heinous crimes. These crimes have a serious impact on their lives, their loved ones and our entire society.
I would like to commend Senator Boisvenu for all the hard work he has done to inform Canadians about the real purpose and scope of Bill C-10. Like dozens of organizations, Senator Boisvenu truly cares about the safety of our young people and vulnerable populations. He wants to protect them from drug problems and prevent repeat sexual offences at all costs. We have the power and the duty to act, and we encourage all organizations to join our fight to prevent what cannot be undone.
Conservative Party of Canada
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Dan Harris Scarborough Southwest, ON
Mr. Speaker, when in opposition, the Conservatives were outraged by an arrogant government that hid from the opposition by invoking closure. Now they have done it nine times since the election.
The Minister of Public Safety once said:
For the government to bring in closure and time allocation is wrong. It sends out the wrong message to the people of Canada. It tells the people of Canada that the government is afraid....
The Minister of Canadian Heritage decried, "...the arrogance of the government in invoking closure again".
The Minister of Citizenship and Immigration once called it, "...yet more unfortunate evidence of the government's growing arrogance...".
I have one more quote by the Prime Minister who said, "...the government is simply increasingly embarrassed by the state of the debate and it needs to move on".
Those out of touch Conservatives came here to change Ottawa. Instead, Ottawa changed them. In six short years they have become everything they used to oppose.
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Nina Grewal Fleetwood—Port Kells, BC
Mr. Speaker, recently there have been several troubling cases of dangerous individuals being released into our communities.
When it comes to keeping the most serious violent offenders off our streets, Canadians can count on this government. We introduced and passed the Tackling Violent Crime Act which strengthened provisions against repeat violent and sexual offenders.
With the introduction of the safe streets and communities bill, our government is taking further steps to ensure that the most serious violent offenders are kept off our streets. This important legislation would give the Parole Board of Canada new powers to keep Canada's most dangerous offenders behind bars where they belong.
The NDP, on the other hand, have tabled amendments that would mean lighter sentences for those who import hard drugs. It is time for the opposition to put an end to its delaying tactics and support our efforts.
Oral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Nycole Turmel Hull—Aylmer, QC
Mr. Speaker, the Canadian economy faces many challenges, and one of them is the infrastructure deficit.
New federal rules, like the waste water regulations, are being imposed on municipalities without any new investments. This is an opportunity right now to inject new money into the economy and fix some major infrastructure problems. Municipalities cannot do it on their own.
Why not stimulate the economy by helping municipalities to meet new water standards?
Oral Questions
2:20 p.m.
Port Moody—Westwood—Port Coquitlam
James Moore Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages
Mr. Speaker, waste water regulations are being put forward and designed to ensure that Canadians have safe water when and where they need it. Those regulations are responsible in the way in which we are doing it.
The Leader of the Opposition is right in the sense that these regulations need to be twinned with investment with regard to infrastructure for water. The problem is that the NDP has voted against every dime of new investment that we have made to ensure that water gets to Canadians safely.
It is true that we need to have effective regulations. We do have to have responsible regulations. It would be nice if the NDP offered solutions and supported both.
Cost of Federal Measures
Oral Questions
2:20 p.m.
Nycole Turmel Hull—Aylmer, QC
Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives' strategy to implement measures and make others pay for them is not a sustainable strategy. For example, employment insurance eligibility criteria that are too stringent are forcing people to seek provincial social assistance. The waste water treatment regulations are forcing municipalities to buy equipment that they cannot afford. The Conservative crime strategy is to force the provinces to build prisons.
When will the government foot the bill for its own ambitions?

Drum roll, please: Hills Market Downtown is set to open at 7 a.m. on Tuesday, March 19.
The Downtown version of the longtime local and organic food market in the Worthington Hills neighborhood of Columbus has been in the works since October 2011.
At 95 N. Grant Ave., the 12,000-square-foot former auto repair shop is a few blocks north of Downtown and several blocks south of Columbus State Community College, hoping to draw customers from both areas, said Jill Moorhead, its marketing director.
It's also on the edge of the area being renewed with the help of the Neighborhood Launch housing development, which stretches from from 4th Street to Grant Avenue along Gay and Long streets. The closest grocery store to the neighborhood is the Kroger in the Brewery District on Sycamore Street.
Like its north Columbus sibling, the Downtown market features local and organic produce and prepared foods and grocery items, as well as prepared foods that are unique to Hills Market, such as its Hills Own pizza, rotisserie chicken and meat loaf. It offers artisan cheeses and charcuterie from around Ohio and the world.
The store also has bakery, meat, fish, dairy, deli and frozen food departments, as well as a large offering of wine and cold craft beer. It offers a salad bar, as well as sushi and breakfast items, such as Silver Bridge coffees (from Gallipolis). Customers can eat at indoor and outdoor seating areas.
Like the north Columbus market, the Downtown market will host pop-up events, such as Brunch with Crepes A La Carte on Sundays from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. A ribbon cutting ceremony to open the new store will be held at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, followed by free samples from dozens of Ohio vendors.
The opening will be within weeks of the original market's 20th anniversary, Moorhead said. Both stores will offer a week's worth of daily promotions to honor the opening.

I am sure that you REALLY enjoyed making matcha in a bowl that you made yourself. Congratulations.
You WILL learn how to use glazes...... it just takes the same kind of investment in time and work that all of the other individual aspects of the pottery process take.
Clay is long. Life is short.
Once you understand a bit more of what is actually happening to those glaze materials when subjecto the heat energy, you will be more able to predict the kinds of results you get out of such combinations. I know at the moment it does not seem possible, but what you described (and got) is predictable.
But as was accurately mentioned...... test, test, test. Use "less than satisfactory" (ahem) pieces as glorified glaze test pieces....... so that your glaze application and understanding of glazing effects develops commensurate with your forming skills. Otehrwise the forming tends to get "ahead" of the glazing.
Then RUTHLESSLY critique the fired pieces after the glaze firing with a hammer. Learning to self-critique and edit your own work is an important part of the whole learning process.
Take that chawan and make a written list of the aspects that are working well both aesthetically as well as functionally. Then list the things that could be improved. Then take that list with you into the studio and make another one that keeps the successful aspects and adresses the less sucessful ones.
Keep going!

So I went to see the Arctic Monkeys last night, great show, etc.
Anyway, they were playing some decent stuff over the PA before the band came on, but of Under My Thumb, etc.
Then I hear some wah-wah guitar, big drums, horns, Phil Spector.....and it was The Art of Dying!

Second Chance
Cancer survivor Serena Wilcox's enthusiasm unites Vermont trail-running community
At 10:56 p.m. on July 17, Serena Wilcox, 31, crossed the finish line at the Vermont 100 ...
Photo by Bob Ayers
At 10:56 p.m. on July 17, Serena Wilcox, 31, crossed the finish line at the Vermont 100 in West Windsor, Vermont, to the cheers of a small but exuberant crowd. At only her second 100-miler, she had finished a surprising third place, in 18 hours 56 minutes 48 seconds.
Instead of retiring for some much-deserved sleep, Wilcox celebrated her fine finish by taking off her shoes and running garb, wrapping herself in a towel and plunking down on a camp chair to soak her blistered feet. Despite the threatening weather, she stayed up until 7:30 in the morning, cheering finishers across the line. "Supporting my friends keeps my energy level high," she says.
Wilcox is known in the Vermont trail-running community not just for clocking faster and faster race times, but for being an ever-present cheerleader. "After placing third at the 2009 Peak Ultra Run 50-miler in Pittsfield, she went back out on the course—wearing a sun dress and sandals—to pace at least four different runners to the finish," says friend Todd Archambault.
Such exuberance makes it hard to believe that just six years ago Wilcox, then 24, was fighting for her life. "An X-ray showed a lump the size of a large orange between my lungs. That afternoon I was in the O.R. for a biopsy." It was non-Hodgkins Lymphoma, a strain of cancer that attacks lymphocytes present in the body's immune system.

Former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice delivered fresh insights on everything from the immigration reform to global terrorism, from the importance of education to the status of NFL football during Mississippi College's 2012 spring scholarship banquet in April.
Rice addressed a packed Anderson Hall, where the nearly 600 guests included Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant '88, Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann, Mississippi Treasurer Lynn Fitch, and Mississippi Supreme Court Justice William
Waller, Jr. The event raised a record $333,000 for student scholarships to Mississippi College.
Prior to her keynote speech, Rice made time to meet with MC students in Self Hall, concluding the session by encouraging students to stay positive despite entering a tough job market.
"While you may not find the job you want right away, you can gain valuable experience, and opportunities will open up," Rice said. "Focus on finding that first job. Don't worry about the next 10 years."
"I think it was amazing for Condoleezza Rice to come to MC to talk to us and inspire us," said senior Camie Crowe. "She's very knowledgeable – an amazing woman."
Rice was already familiar with MC; in 2003, she served as the guest speaker at the MC Law commencement. Now a professor at Stanford University, Rice told the crowd that Mississippi College remained in her eyes "a very special place" due to its caring faculty and Christian focus.
In addition to a keen knowledge of global politics, Rice revealed a passion for sports, fielding questions about the NFL's "Bounty Gate" scandal and harsh penalties imposed on the New Orleans Saints. But when asked to name which quarterback she prefers, Tim Tebow or Peyton Manning, Rice answered with the diplomatic savvy one would expect from a former Secretary of State.
"I'd say Tim Tebow, Peyton Manning, and Peyton's younger brother, Eli, are all my favorites," Rice responded with a smile.

In response to a viewer question on NFL32 on ESPN Kiper just said that the only way the Browns could screw up the 4th pick is if they take Tannehill. He says TR and Blackmon make much more sense. Earlier in the show, he and another analyst both said Tanney needs to sit a year or two before he's ready to play. He's not a sure thing.
On the same show, Billick is quoted as comparing Tanney to JaMarcus Russell... quick and late rise up the draft board based on potential. Not based on pro readiness.

We all have the power to help each other and ourselves
I'd like to do a little review because I think it would help us with making New Year's resolutions. Many times I have written that we have no power over physical things like who our parents will be, where we'll be born, whether we'll be born into a rich family or poor one, what race we'll be, whether we'll be beautiful or ugly, etc. On the other hand, matters of the mind, soul, emotions and heart we have complete power over. The only thing we need to do to control those things is to make a decision and act on it. If you do nothing, you are powerless, but if you make a decision and act on situations that come up, you have great power. The danger is that you can use that power constructively or destructively.
For example, let's consider the tongue. It's small, but powerful! When you see a thoughtful action, do you tell the person who acted so graciously that that was a nice thing to do? If you do, that will encourage that person to do more acts of kindness. If you say nothing, you missed a wonderful opportunity. Inaction also can be cruelty. Maybe one of your resolutions should be a prayer: Please, God, let me open my eyes so that I will see opportunities to please and encourage people, and give me the courage to tell them what I see.
If we follow through with these opportunities, we will be giving service to people, and there is nothing more rewarding than giving service. It rewards everyone involved.
Now let's consider some other things we can do. Think about your family and friends. Can you help an elderly person by visiting him or her? Can you go shopping for someone? Can you help by cleaning their cars or snow off their porches or stairs? Maybe you can give them rock salt to melt snow and ice, so that they are less likely to have an accident.
The age groups you work with will make a difference. I just picked up two young boys for my prayer partners. I'm trying to invite both families to dinner. I don't even know if they know each other. One boy is 5 years old and the other is around 9. It will be interesting to see where that goes.
I'm looking at the charities I give to. I always donate funds to a Native American school, because I think it's terrible how Native Americans have been treated. I also give to Habitat for Humanity and Boys' Ranch. Both of those organizations give so generously to others. I also feel I owe the veterans for all they have done for us. I always include little notes of praise. And even though I'm not Catholic, I support St. Jude's Hospital and Covenant House. There's another organization that gives money to women so they can start their own businesses. When their merchandise is sold, they are given more money for more merchandise, but they have to put a certain amount of money into a savings account. I love organizations that help people to help themselves!
Now I realize that there are a lot of people who are out of work, so those people don't have extra money to give, but let's see what else those people can do to act charitably. A happy face is always a happy sight, and a welcome sight. Clean off someone's car. Run errands for someone who is having a difficult time. You can always shop for them (use their cars you just cleaned). You can go to the post office or the library or the bank for them. If you're a good cook, offer to cook for them. Maybe you see heavy things that need to be put away. Who knows? Maybe you can earn a few bucks!
Consider people who need things done. You can help the people who are out of work. When spring comes, you can hire them to help with your lawns, your bushes, your gardens, cleaning your basements, spring cleaning (i.e. washing windows), painting, etc. There are so many ways we can help each other. Attitude is everything. Get involved! Help as much as you can. It will be good for both your mental health and your physical health! Tap into that power you have. You won't get a bill from Niagara Mohawk.
Now I'd like to go back to last week's column. I forgot to mention that Sixto is one of three pastors at First Baptist Church. He went from drinking, using and selling drugs, and attempting suicide to becoming a pastor. Wow! If that isn't a 360 degree turn around, what is? This account should be an eye-opener, and tremendous encouragement to anyone who feels lost! I thought about the shootings in Connecticut. With Sixto's seemingly hopeless situation, he could have ended up lost like the individual responsible. Instead, receiving faith turned him completely around! I love stories like this. They show us that there's hope for everyone!
Let's open our eyes, open our hearts, and open our doors to those who need us. We have so much to offer! Happy New Year!
P.S. I haven't cooled off over our project to bring activities to Chautauqua County that will attract people to visit us and maybe even move here. I'm waiting for two things. One is for the college kids to come back because there are several students who want to get involved with this project. The second reason is I talked to Bill Moran and Diane, and Diane said that she has a big idea that she wants to present first to the mayor and then to the board. It sounds big!

Less than a week after announcing the iPad tablet that faced heavy critics because of the lack of Flash support and other disadvantages, chief executive officer of Apple told the company's employees that Adobe Flash was too buggy, Blu-ray software was a mess, Google wanted to kill iPhone and the future of Internet video was HTML5. The comments seem to be rather offensive, but they may clearly mean that Apple has no plans to support certain technologies.
"They are lazy. They have all this potential to do interesting things but they just refuse to do it. They don't do anything with the approaches that Apple is taking, like Carbon. Apple does not support Flash because it is so buggy. Whenever a Mac crashes more often than not it is because of Flash. No one will be using Flash. The world is moving to HTML5," said Steve Jobs, chief executive of Apple, report Wired and Macrumours web-sites, during a meeting with Apple employees.
Clearly, Adobe Flash is not the best technology available today, however, HTML5 is still not here and it will take a long time before it will be able to replace Flash, meanwhile, Apple's products do not support Flash right now.
Even though Google Android-based phones are hardly seriously popular, Mr. Jobs still believes that the ultimate goal of Google is to "kill the iPhone".
"We did not enter the search business. They entered the phone business. Make no mistake they want to kill the iPhone. We won't let them. […] This 'don't be evil mantra': it is bullshit," Mr. Jobs is reported to have said.
"Don't be evil' is believed to be an unofficial motto of Google, which is meant to stop the company from maximizing short-term benefits with actions that demolish long-term image and competitive position. It is not completely clear how the creation of Android platform can destroy Google's positions in the long term and why does Mr. Jobs think that Android was created by 47 companies to destroy iPhone.
During the meeting Mr. Jobs reiterated his attitude towards Blu-ray high-definition video format. According to the chief executive officer of Apple, Blu-Ray software is a mess, and Apple will wait until sales really start to take off before implementing it into their personal computers. Still, the new Macintosh systems in 2010 would take Apple to the next level, indicated the CEO.
