The Bodyguard: Beverley Knight, Alexandra Burke, Tristan Gemmill, Joelle Moses
The Bodyguard, based on the smash-hit film which starred Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston, is currently wowing audiences and critics at the Adelphi Theatre, London starring Beverley Knight as Rachel Marron along with Tristan Gemmill as Rachel's bodyguard, Frank Farmer.
Former Secret Service agent turned bodyguard, Frank Farmer, is hired to protect superstar Rachel Marron from an unknown stalker. Each expects to be in charge - what they don't expect is to fall in love.
This romantic thriller features a whole host of irresistible classics, including Queen of the Night, So Emotional, One Moment in Time, Saving All My Love, I'm Your Baby Tonight, Run to You, I Have Nothing, Jesus Loves Me, I Wanna Dance With Somebody and one of the greatest hit songs of all time - I Will Always Love You.
Beverley Knight will continue the role of Rachel Marron until 31st May 2014, then Alexandra Burke will take over the part from 2nd June. At Wednesday and Saturday matinee performances the role of Rachel Marron will be played by Joelle Moses.
Beverley Knight
An awesome voice from this three times MOBO award winner. She's been notching up the hits ever since her classic song 'Flavour Of The Old School' (1995) with more than ten of her songs reaching the Top 40. Her longevity is partly due to her innate talent, but it is also due to her impressive ability to reinvent herself.
Beverley Knight tour dates
Alexandra Burke
Alexandra Burke grew up in North London and is the daughter of former Soul II Soul lead singer Melissa Bell. Influenced by classic soul singers and contemporary heroes such as Mariah Carey and Beyonce, the three-time BRIT nominee rose to fame after winning the fifth series of The X Factor in 2008.
Her debut number one single Hallelujah sold over one million copies in the UK, a first for a British female soloist. Burke's first album, Overcome saw the release of her subsequent number one singles Bad Boys and Start Without You. In 2011 she embarked on her first solo tour and was invited by Beyoncé to support her I Am... Tour. Her second album, Heartbreak on Hold, was released in June 2012 and 2014 sees the release of her third studio album.
Alexandra has also received acclaim for her portrayal of Rachel Marron in the sell-out run of Thea Sharrock's hit musical The Bodyguard at the Adelphi Theatre in London's West End.

Behind the Scenes at a Mar-a-Lago Horse Show
For the past twelve years, the Hilton Head Island Motoring Festival & Concours d'Elegance, little sister to the Pebble Beach Concours, has attracted car lovers and enthusiasts to the Palmetto State for a weekend of races, food, tours, and exhibitions. This year the main event was moved to the Port Royal Golf Club, with entrants parking their cars right on the greens of one of that nation's top 75 golf resorts. The setting made for a most enjoyable weekend, as the Spanish Moss draped from the Live Oaks created a natural canopy over the classic exotics and domestics on display.
Some of the cars retain the quirky preferences of the original owner, like this 1932 Avions Voisin roadster with ostrich leather seats.
Tea time in the trunk! The original owners of this beauty lived in a medieval mansion adjoining Warwick Castle.

Sleepy Eye Council discusses Snow farm
SLEEPY EYE The Sleep Eye City Council reviewed several pending projects during its meeting on Tuesday.
The first was planning for determining self-assessments and preliminary prices for the former Snow Farm property project.
The project is aimed at creating residential, commercial and industrial property within the city limits just south of Highway 14 on the east end of town. The City has bought or annexed more than 350 acres for the project.
The assessments were only discussed because the final prices remain in flux until final determinations. A few examples given were that construction assessments could run $100 for each side of the road, sewer could run $50 each side and up to the range of $3,700 per lot for a large 6-inch water main.
While prices remained undetermined yet, the largest lots that would be larger than an acre could run up to $40,000 to $50,000 with land value and all the assessments combined.
In other action, the Council discussed proposed improvements to the Council Chambers. The project's first phase is replacing an old projector for agenda and other Council items with an electronic chalk board display, which could cost approximately $1,500. Providing councilors with laptops for meetings is among other updates considered during the next three years.

Are we sick�of hearing about New Year�s resolutions yet? In combing the web for fitness news over the last few weeks, I can�t tell you how much yammering I read about goal setting and tracking and yadda yadda. (Yes, I�m aware that we did some of that too � maybe next year we�ll avoid the subject altogether.) Anyway, most of the stuff I saw on the topic was the same-old, same-old (except for Mary Weaver�s post � and, of course, mine).

Let me buy you a Hooker…..
Nooooo this is NOT what you may be thinking by the title of my blog. Let me start off by saying my 3 day weekend was simply amazing! I loved it and the girls and I had so much fun!! Now I will get to the story of this "hooker" in a few minutes, but first here is what happened over my trip to the West and South of Ireland.
Saturday June 4, 2011:
We all (myself, Meg, Sarah, Lauren, Lil, Rachael, Alexa and Michelle) got up at 7am on Saturday morning so we could catch our 8am Paddywagon bus to Galway. Most of us had packed the night before. I just brought some t-shirts, jeans and of course my cameras! We made our way over to the tourist center where the bus was suppose to pick everyone up. Our driver introduced himself – he seemed nice. So we made our way to Galway with several stops along the way since it was a bit of a drive. One of our stops along the way was to see Cong which was ruins of an Abbey. That was pretty neat to see. We then saw the biggest lake in Ireland which is called Lough Corrib. After that we went to Leenaun. We also stopped at the Kylemore Abbey for lunch which was an absolutely gorgeous place to see. There were these cute little donkeys on the top of the hill that made quick friends with Alexa (haha).
So we ate lunch then continued onward with our trip toward Galway. We stopped somewhere in Connemara. Finally we made it to Galway and stopped by our hostel the Kinlay House to drop our things off. Shawn (our tour guide) told the whole group he would show us a place to eat. So we met with him to go eat. The food there was not the best in my mind. Now to the point of the title of my blog.
Shawn tried to buy Alexa a drink. The drink is called a Galway Hooker which is the name of a particular boat. I guess it's a joke or something? Anyway, she did not want it at all since our guide was a little creepy… So that's the story behind that.
Havana Cultura just so happened to be going on the night we got to Galway. There was live music and people were doing some crazy things in the street. It was a lot of fun and some drunk guys were dancing with Meg. It was too funny. So after a while we wanted to try to find some club to go to. We found a couple of clubs that were free, but totally dead. We found a club that amazing called Central Park, but it cost 8 euro to get it. It was so worth it! I had so much fun dancing with Meg, Sarah and Lauren.
Sunday June 5, 2011:
Sunday we got up fairly early had a pretty good breakfast before getting on the bus and heading out. We made our first stop of the day at Dunguaire Castle. Then we stopped at Corcumroe Abbey for some more photos. Then off to Black Head which had an amazing view of the Atlantic Ocean. It was absolutely beautiful. We did lunch at Fitzpatrick Bar which was ok, but my burrito was super spicy. After lunch it was off to Cliffs of Moher which was so cool to see, but so windy too! The view was awesome. I bought a CD and a postcard while I was there. We made a stop at Adare for a quick stop. Finally we made our way to Killarney where our 2nd hostel was located. The first hostel was so much nicer, but hey what can you do? Again we met with Shawn to go somewhere to eat. The food was pretty good. We were also told about this horse carriage ride the next morning for an hour for only 12 euro! I was so excited about this.
Monday June 6, 2011:
So we had to wake up early to get something to eat before meeting outside for the carriage ride. Our driver and horse were both very nice. The horse's name was Rosie and she was very sweet. She is 10 and was once owned by gypsies. After the hour trip around Killarney National Park (which was AWESOME) we got back on the bus and headed to Blarney Castle. Now this was for certain a highlight of our trip. We got to explore the castle and YES I kissed the Blarney Stone! It was a little nerve wracking, but so worth it. I truly enjoyed it. After that we made our final stop at the Rock of Dunamase which again was awesome. I think everyone really enjoyed this stop. Finally we made our way back to Dublin.
So if you'd like to see all my photos from this last weekend please go to my Facebook and check them out! I will be posting photos here soon. Also I took a lot of videos as well, I just need to figure out how to get it off the video camera – haha. Wish me luck!
A final thought is: I am almost done with my first week of my 2nd class! I am so ready to be done. But hey I love Dublin!!

Last year, the Curriculum and Instruction Department began a collaborative relationship with Miami Edison High School. Located within the Barry University neighborhood, this school has worked to improve its 'school grade' over the last 3 years under the tutelage of Dr. Pablo Ortiz. One of Dr. Ortiz's initiatives is the startup of a Dual-Language Program at Edison Senior High School, which has a majority population of Haitian Creole-speaking students, many of whom relocated to Miami-Dade County Public Schools following the 2011 earthquake. The program teaches content courses in the students' first language (L1, Haitian-Creole) to provide the opportunity to continue to learn content while engaging in the second-language (L2, English) acquisition process.
This project has provided a unique research opportunity for six ADSOE faculty members: Ruth Ban, Sam Perkins, Sean Buckreis, Mirlenda Noelliste, Gerene Starratt and Mehmet Türegün. This research project seeks to uncover how language, culture, and ethnicity relate to the development of academic identity in this particular group of ELLs. In addition, the project examines how instruction in the students' L1 impacts their L2 as well as content achievement and progress.

Chile-Rubbed Chicken Breast with Kale, Quinoa and Brussels Sprouts Salad
- 1 cup dried quinoa
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground chipotle powder
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano
- 2 small garlic cloves, grated on a rasp, separated
- 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon minced shallot (from about 1/2 small)
- 2 large bunches kale, center stems removed and leaves thinly sliced crosswise (about 1 1/2 pounds total)
- 12 ounces Brussels sprouts, trimmed and cored, finely grated or shredded with a knife
- 1/2 cup toasted almonds, chopped (about 2 ounces)
- 1 cup crumbled Cotija cheese (about 4 ounces)
Bring 2 cups water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add the quinoa, season with salt and cover. Reduce the heat to a simmer over medium-low, and cook until the quinoa has absorbed the water, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, the chipotle powder, oregano and 1 grated garlic clove. Season the mixture with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper and rub the chipotle mixture evenly over the meat.
Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook, turning once, until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Remove from the heat, cover, and let stand for 5 minutes before slicing.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, Dijon, shallots and remaining grated garlic until combined. While whisking, slowly drizzle in the remaining 1/2 cup olive oil until thick and emulsified. Season the dressing with salt and pepper.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the cooked quinoa, kale, Brussels sprouts and almonds together until combined. Add the dressing and cheese and toss lightly until coated; season with salt and pepper.
Divide the mixture among 4 serving plates and top each with a sliced chicken breast. Serve immediately.

Stocks Edge Still Higher on Citigroup's Profits
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- U.S. stocks gained for an eighth day on Monday as Citigroup's better-than-expected second-quarter profits offset a slowdown in U.S. retail spending and broader growth in China, the world's second-largest economy.
The S&P 500 creeped forward 0.1% to 1,682.50 while the Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.1% to 15,484.26. The Nasdaq advanced 0.2% to 3,607.49.
U.S. retail sales increased by a less-than-expected 0.4% in June, threatening to put further pressure on the U.S.'s second quarter gross domestic product number, the Census Bureau reported Monday. Economists, on average, expected an increase of 0.8%, according to a Thomson Reuters poll of economists.
"The number one takeaway from today's report is that the consumer was a bit weaker than expected in the second quarter," Dan Greenhaus, chief global strategist at BTIG in New York, wrote in a client note.
Citi's improved performance comes as consumer discretionary stocks, health care and financials lead the S&P 500 this year on gains of 25%, 24% and 23%, respectively, compared to the the broader market that has added 18%, its best start to a year since 1998.
"While we continue to believe stocks are likely to experience a rocky second half given the likelihood for Fed policy reversal and the unlikelihood S&P 500 companies to achieve earnings expectations, stocks so far have denied our expectations, surging to new highs again last week," Gina Martin Adams, a New York-based senior analyst at Wells Fargo Securities, said in a Monday note. "While our faith in the durability of the broader market advance is limited, our faith in domestic and defensive sector leadership remains unchanged."
In China, the National Bureau of Statistics said gross domestic product rose 7.5% in the second quarter from a year ago, slowing from a growth of 7.7% in the first quarter.
This week marks the beginning of second-quarter earnings announcements with some 80 companies set to release their results. The majority of these announcements will come from 22 financial companies, 13 industrial companies and 12 technology companies.
Overall, second quarter earnings on average are expected to grow 2.4% over the same time last year, according to a Thomson Reuters survey of analysts. Of the 26 companies in the S&P 500 that have reported second-quarter earnings so far, 65% have reported earnings above analyst expectations. This is higher than the long-term average of 63% and below the average over the past four quarters of 67%.

Lenovo Group, the world's fourth largest maker of personal computers, believes that the recent market developments will bring a lot of new opportunities for hardware and software businesses. Unfortunately, the success of far not all important technologies can be predicted.
Intel Corp.'s-funded development of MeeGo operating system for mobile devices, dramatic increase of performance of ARM architecture-based microprocessors, support of ARM by desktop flavours of Windows and emergence of innovative mobile products inevitably marks the beginning of always online era, which is sometimes called "post-PC" age. According to the chairman of Lenovo Group, this new epoch promises to bring a lot of innovation and mark the end of certain ecosystems.
"We find it rather exciting in this new era we're going into that it marks the end of the 'Wintel' monopoly. It offers more room for innovation and choice of OS and CPUs. I think there will be more types of platforms. Right now, I think (the combination of Windows and Intel chips are) still the best choice for enterprise machines, but I think gradually the distinctions between consumer and enterprise machines will also change," said Liu Chuanzhi, the chairman of Lenovo, in an interview with Cnet News.
The blurring borders between consumer and enterprise computers is evident these days, but could not really be expected even five years ago. For Lenovo, just like for any other huge technology company, ability to predict such things is needed in order to survive.
"When you are in the field of high tech, there is no telling when a dark horse might come out of nowhere with a new technology or business model, so we will likely encounter some setbacks, but it will be temporary. The most important thing is to have a strong cohesive leadership team that has the culture that will allow it to survive these setbacks and keep innovating and go its own way," said Mr. Chuanzhi.

This senior profile is part of Spectator's 2014 commencement special issue. Check out the 17 other senior profiles, the class day ceremony recaps, and a timeline of the biggest events of the last four years.
Tanay Jaipuria, SEAS '14, wants to meet you—all of you.
This spring, Jaipuria started Tea With Tanay, a website where friends and strangers can sign up for 30 minutes of tea-fueled conversation with Jaipuria. The goal, according to Jaipuria's statement on the website, is to meet "ten times as many awesome people whom I haven't met yet."
"I made a commitment to myself before doing it that I would grab tea with everyone," said Jaipuria, a computer science major from Mumbai, India.
For the first week, it was mostly friends who signed up to participate. With a week to go until graduation, he had gotten tea or an alternate Joe beverage with roughly 100 people, he said.
Because so many people signed up—and with limited days before Commencement—Jaipuria has only managed to keep his word by sometimes having tea with multiple people at once.
Tea With Tanay—which was inspired by a friend at the University of Pennsylvania who did a similar project last year—started out as an item on his bucket list.
Unfortunately, Jaipuria hasn't been quite as successful with the other items on that list. He said the biggest tragedy by far of his senior year was when he broke his commitment to attend every Senior Night this year.
"The rain was just too bad, and I got lazy. I just stayed in and watched Mean Girls' instead," Jaipuria said.
Other than "Mean Girls," Jaipuria said he's also a big fan of "21"—a movie that, he said, taught him to count cards—another item on his bucket list.
Jaipuria put that skill to use when, at the ripe age of 18, he headed to a casino in Manchester, England.
"It was all going well, I was up like 300, 400 pounds and then I got caught," he said.
After casino security established that he wasn't a U.K. citizen and wouldn't be able to bother the casino regularly, he was allowed to leave with the cash and an excellent story.
After graduating, Jaipuria will be heading to San Francisco for the summer before returning to New York to work for a consulting firm. He hopes to eventually have his own tech startup.
For now, Jaipuria said that it's the everyday moments that he treasures most at Columbia.
"A lot of people have asked me this, and I always tell them looking back it's those random nights I remember the most," he said. "It's all those nothing moments I spent with friends that I'm going to remember the most and miss the most."
He said that part of the motivation behind Tea With Tanay was to make those moments a little more frequent in Columbia students' lives.
"I think one thing I've realized is that basically everyone really is interesting. It's more about whether you can bring what they have that's interesting out of them," Jaipuria said. "The people here are the best thing about Columbia."

Sorry, I've had my own connection problems tonight, relocated my cable and router to a different room.
I recently had a similar problem. There was a JAVA release out that I hadn't installed. When I got the update, I connected without any further problems. That's the first time I have ever had a version conflict and I'm not convinced that was what the problem was. It was more likely something corrupted in my installed package that the update corrected. You may look into something like that? Check for an update, or uninstall and reinstall the latest version.
Aside from that, if you have any kind of JAVA script blocking going on, you will need to allow the script to run.
There really isn't much more to it. If you have some kind of firewall running on your machine. You need to make a hole in it for the chat connection. From the sound of it though, that doesn't appear to be a problem.
If you will check these things and try again, let me know if you can't get in and I can dig a little deeper and try to find out some more for you.
"Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts." Winston Churchill
This may not fix it but you may try. A couple of weeks ago I was having a problem with my Java, Flash Player and some other thing. I updated all of them. Still had problems. Some computer dude told me my cache is problably full.
Go to Tools, internet options, under browsing history (I think) click delete on Temporary Internet Files, Cookies. I deleted all of the options in that window. Started working perfect after that.
Chuck Norris has a grizzly bear carpet in his room. The bear isn't dead it is just afraid to move.
I deleted my Java and reloaded it.
I was able to get into the chat room.
Now I get the old message to register.
I will look at your suggestion and see what it does.
I deleted the cookies and browsing history and i still can not enter
I can enter the chat room after i was guided to download Java and now im able to enter the chat rooms but i dont see no one in the chat rooms! No one uses the chat rooms or am i needing to download something else that im not aware of????...I even tried to type in the chat room once i was there just to see if that would work and it said something about the room needed a moderator present so thats why i was asking if anyone doesnt use the chat rooms or im not able to see anyone in the chat rooms!...if its my end what do i need to do to fix the issue???? Thank you!
If you were loged in the "room" you should have been able to type, most folks dont log in untill later in the evening.
I see in the logs that a lot of people log in and if there is not any one around they log out STICK AROND A WHILE there will bee some along in a bit.
Also if you will look at the gray bar on top of this page there is a heading of chat room on the right side that will tell how many people are in chat.

Here's how RW members rated this race (227 votes).
In short: 2 killer hills but also long downhill stretches in lovely countrysideIn full: Good facilities at the stadium where it starts and friendly very well organised race. Nice finishing on the track. Although everyone says it is tough, I got a pb last year and ran my second best time for a half marathon this year - the long down hill sweeps do compensate a little for the hills. Amusing road signs, although being told there was another horrible hill coming up made me almost want to knock the sign over! Very much worth the relatively long journey from York and will try and do it again next year.Date of review: March 11, 2010
In short: 2 killer hills, but fabulous scenery to make up for it.Date of review: March 11, 2010

In short: A Slice of HeavenIn full: Friendly marshalls, excellent organisation and parking etc. Lovely course along canal and over hills. I just wish we didn't have to run past the finish on the first lap of the track at the end- but that's a minor complaint, THIS IS A BRILLIANT RACE!! Date of review: March 8, 2010
In short: Very friendly, supremely well organised and a great goody bagIn full: I don't remember any negative points from last year but somehow this year seemed even better, aided by great weather.

In the Gaza Strip, a forgotten front
With the conflict continuing to escalate in Lebanon, another conflict is overlooked. But it's still raging.
By SUSAN TAYLOR MARTIN
Published July 29, 2006
By SUSAN TAYLOR MARTIN
Times Senior Correspondent
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — On Thursday morning, a smartly dressed delegation from the European Union arrived with a gift for Shifa Hospital — fuel to keep its generators running after Israeli missiles knocked out power to much of the Gaza Strip.
While the EU officials were going in the hospital's front door, members of the radical Islamic Jihad were arriving in the back. They had come to collect the still-bloody body of a comrade killed in a gunbattle with Israeli soldiers.
Dozens of men crowded into the hospital's morgue, wrapped 18-year-old Malek El Masharw in a black Islamic Jihad flag and loaded him onto a pickup truck. Then they drove off with an ear-splitting volley of Kalashnikov rifle fire.
No one in the hospital paid any attention.
Weapons are everywhere in Gaza these days as the narrow coastal strip teeters on the edge of anarchy. Nearly a year after Israel withdrew its soldiers and 8,000 Jewish settlers, Gaza's 1.3-million Palestinians have seen their hopes for a better life crumble amid fresh fighting with the Israelis and a new surge in militancy.
"The situation here is so difficult," said Thalal Abu Aeda, an unemployed father of five, sweat soaking through his sports shirt. "There is no work, nothing."
Palestinian voters in January rejected the corrupt, ruling Fatah party in favor of the radical organization Hamas. Its refusal to accept Israel's existence has led to international sanctions that have crippled the Palestinian economy and further inflamed anger against Israel.
After months of firing rockets into nearby Israeli cities, Hamas and other militants kidnapped a Jewish soldier on June 25 and are still holding him in Gaza. Israel responded by bombing Gaza's main power plant and destroying groves and neighborhoods from which the rockets are launched.
Scores of Palestinians have been left homeless and at least 100 have been killed.
The violence in Gaza has been all but obscured by Israel's three-week struggle in Lebanon where it has encountered surprisingly strong resistance from the Lebanese organization Hezbollah, which crossed the border to kidnap two Israeli soldiers July 12.
Some Gaza Palestinians, unhappy with their own government, are cheering for Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. They see him as the only Arab ruler able to stand up to Israel.
Other Gazans continue to back Palestinian "resistance" groups like Hamas and Islamic Jihad. And then there are those like Khaled Albarssi, manager of the Western Union office in Gaza City, who are sick of it all.
Single and 27, he no longer goes out with friends at night for fear of being hit by an Israeli missile. He moved his refrigerator to his office because he rarely has electricity at home. Even if he did, he wouldn't watch coverage of the Israeli-Lebanese conflict.
"I'm not interested in what they're doing," Albarssi said. "We have enough problems just to live."
Dr. Jumaa Al Saqqa keeps several grisly souvenirs on his desk at Shifa Hospital, Gaza's largest. They are pieces of missiles — the Hebrew writing still visible — that have killed Palestinians, he says.
Saqqa also has two jars of tissue samples from recent victims. The hospital plans to send them to Italy to be tested for phosphorous. The Palestinians suspect, though Israel denies, that the missiles contain the flesh-searing substance, which would constitute a violation of international humanitarian law.
In a city where many businesses have closed and the rest are struggling, Shifa Hospital is by far the busiest place around. Through the heat of the day, dozens of men, boys and Arab journalists hang out at the entrance, waiting for the Red Crescent ambulances to unload the latest casualties.
The busiest day was Wednesday, when Israeli tanks and airstrikes killed 23 Palestinians, 11 of them militants. Among the many injured was 13-year-old Sumaia Okal, who on Thursday lay in the intensive care unit with her eyes half open, seeing nothing.
"Her heart is okay, but her brain is dead," said head nurse Nasser Hammad. A tank shell hit Sumaia's house, killing her mother and sister.
In the blood bank downstairs, the five chairs were constantly occupied.
"If there is any incident, a lot of people come to give blood," said Najah Elaiwa, the director.
The hospital has no shortage of blood. But with Israel often closing the border in response to rocket attacks, there are shortages of many other things, including blood bags and test kits to screen for HIV and hepatitis C. The blood bank can't afford to give donors juice or a candy bar so they don't feel woozy when they get up.
Elaiwa, the mother of three, is among more than 100,000 Palestinian public employees who went for months without pay after the United States and other countries cut off funding to the new Hamas-led government. Last week, she finally received 1,500 shekels, or $340 — half her usual monthly salary.
Her husband is retired, but the family has scraped by because his brother runs a grocery store. Elaiwa's own brother, who worked for the Palestinian security services, was killed by an Israeli tank shell last year.
"I didn't support Hamas or Fatah," she said. "I support peace.
A colleague, Dr. Mazen Elaloul, also relied on a relative's help during the months without pay. He knows nurses who stopped coming to work because they couldn't afford a few shekels for transportation.
In January, Elaloul voted for the "Third Way" — a moderate alternative to Hamas and Yasser Arafat's Fatah Party. But he is angry that Israel and the United States rejected the results of an election both had pushed for.
"Not all people here are Hamas, but they wanted to change the past and the people of Arafat," Elaloul said. "Always Bush talks of the need to impose democracy, but then you see what he and the Israelis do."
The overwhelming majority of Gaza residents are Muslim. Yet 2,500 Christians remain, many of whom worship in St. Porphyrios Greek Orthodox Church.
"There is no difference between Muslims and Christians," insists Kamel Ayya, a church member. "We are all Palestinians."
As if to prove the point, Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniya of Hamas was among the scores of people who turned up at 11 a.m.
Thursday for a churchyard rally to support the Lebanese. Haniya still ventures out in public although more hard-line Hamas leaders are in hiding from the Israeli missiles that have already have killed several of their colleagues.
Given the ecclesiastical setting, there were prayers for peace and calls to end the violence. But to almost everyone here, the violence is entirely one-sided. No one criticizes Hamas and Hezbollah for the rocket attacks or the kidnappings.
"No to the Israeli aggression against the Lebanese and Palestinians!" screamed the banner on one wall.
Across the courtyard, a large poster showed a photograph of an Israeli girl smiling as she wrote her name on a missile destined for a target in Lebanon. Beneath that, dozens of other photos of Lebanese children who had been horribly burned or maimed. Some were barely recognizable as human.
"Shocking images of gifts from Israeli children," the poster said. "Disgusting? Appalling? No. Just Zionism."
Ayya said many Christian Palestinians support Hezbollah just as "they support any party that offers resistance against the Israelis."
"Israel creates bad feelings," he added.
A speech pathologist, Ayya has a degree from Wisconsin's Marquette University. No, he said somewhat wistfully, he has never been to the United States — he graduated from a Marquette-run program in Gaza. He envies those who had a chance to go abroad before it became almost impossible to leave the Gaza Strip.
"Most of the Christians are outside searching for jobs and better lives," Ayya said. "Students live in Europe or the United States or Australia. Then they stay because the situation here is not so good."
Back at the hospital, Mahmoud Abu Aeda carried a stack of plastic cups and a chrome teapot with Lipton tags hanging out. He works from midmorning to sunset, selling sweetened tea at a shekel a cup to help support his family.
Mahmoud is 6 years old.
His father did construction work in Israel until two years ago, when the Israelis severely restricted Palestinian entry because of the terrorist threat. His mother stays at home to clean and cook for Mahmoud, his sister and three older brothers.
Cardboard covers one window: the Aedas say it was shattered by the sonic boom from an Israeli fighter jet.
On Thursday afternoon, an Israeli drone buzzed over their apartment building like a loud, annoying mosquito. The sound often means that the Israelis are homing in on a target, as they did last year when a missile slammed into a nearby building that members of Islamic Jihad had recently vacated.
"It's not right for Hamas and Jihad to rent apartments between innocent people," Abu Aeda said.
"We're scared all the time," his wife chimed in.
Mahmoud and his brothers make about $9 a day selling tea, which their father brews on a small gas burner just outside the hospital. That money is the family's only income; they are among the nearly 80 percent of Gaza residents now living in poverty, aid agencies say.
The Aedas get flour, lentils and other basics twice a year from the United Nations. Their second and final allotment came in June, but is almost gone. So, after a brief break at home, Mahmoud and his brothers went back to work.
Their territory is near the crowded entrance to the hospital, where a week ago a gunbattle erupted between feuding families. Members of Hamas' "special forces," wearing black T-shirts and armed with Kalashnikovs, have since taken over guard duty from Palestinian security forces loyal to the rival Fatah Party.
Just as Mahmoud returned to his spot, someone tried to enter the hospital with a gun. A fight broke out, weapons were pointed and dozens of people scrambled for cover until the gun was wrested away.
Mahmoud had seen it all before. He kept on swinging his shiny little teapot.

Bears cornerback Charles Tillman has more on his mind than the Houston Texans.
Tillman's wife is due to give birth soon, and the Bears' Pro Bowl cornerback told WSCR-AM 670 on Tuesday night that he would not play if his wife went into labor right before the game.
"The wife is due any day, so hopefully this baby can stay in until after the game on Sunday," Tillman told the station. "I hope she stays in – I'm having another girl – Monday, for sure, but if she comes Sunday, I think I'm going to have to be at the hospital Sunday. So, I hope she stays in until after Sunday."
If Tillman does have to miss the game, his teammates said they would understand.
Bears wide receiver Brandon Marshall said Lovie Smith set the tone for a family-first group.
"You take on the character of your leader," Marshall said. "That's what he preaches: Family comes first."

Low-Cost Power Spurs Job Growth in Rome, Onondaga County
June 24, 2003
HOLTSVILLE—New York Power Authority trustees Tuesday approved three allocations of low-cost Economic Development Power to Central New York companies that will create 500 new jobs at the Industrial Park at the former Griffiss Air Force Base in Rome and add 200 new jobs in the Onondaga County communities of Cicero and Warners.
"This is great news for Central New York. Two thriving companies will grow and add substantially to their payrolls and a major company providing aircraft maintenance, repairs and overhauls for commercial airlines and corporate aircraft will create 500 jobs at the old Griffiss Air Base," said Louis P. Ciminelli, chairman of the Power Authority. "The project in Rome and the expansion projects at ICM Controls and Sysco Foods are great opportunities for NYPA to help Governor Pataki's job-growth activities in Central New York."
Power Authority trustees, meeting at the Richard M. Flynn Power Plant here, approved an allocation of 2,000 kilowatts (kw) to the Griffis Local Development Corporation (GLDC), which will provide the power to Commodore Aviation, Inc., a company currently located out-of-state, but planning a move to Rome. With the move, it will change its name to Empire Air Center.
"This power allocation is just one piece of New York State's significant commitment to secure Empire Air Center as an anchor aviation tenant at Griffiss Business and Technology Park. We thank Governor Pataki for his continued great support for Griffiss Park's development as a job center, and the Power Authority for its support of employment growth in the Mohawk Valley. Thanks to the partnership which brought the company here, Empire Air Center will provide job opportunities to Mohawk Valley residents for many years to come," said Steven J. DiMeo, President of Mohawk Valley EDGE and Griffiss Local Development Corporation.
The trustees also approved a 500-kw allocation to ICM Controls Corp. of Cicero and 400 kw for Sysco Food Services Corp. of Warners.
ICM Controls manufactures electronic controls used in heating, ventilating and air conditioning applications around the world. Located in Cicero, the company has grown from 15 employees in 1984 to 200 at the present time. The company is looking to expand into larger quarters and anticipates creating an additional 100 jobs in exchange for its EDP allocation.
"I'm very confident that with a guarantee of lower-cost electricity from the Power Authority, we now have all the pieces lined up to make a decision to build our new factory in Central New York," said Bob Poresky, project manager for ICM Controls.
Sysco Food Services distributes food service products from its facility in Warners. It is currently undergoing the third phase of an expansion that will increase its present work force of 500 to 600. Two earlier phases of its expansion included allocations of 400 kw and 500 kw. Tuesday's actions bring Sysco's total allocation to 1,300 kw.
"Lower-cost electricity from NYPA has been an essential component in the first two phases of our expansion process," said Nick Romano, Director of Human Resources for Sysco Food Services of Syracuse, LLC. "We want to thank the New York Power Authority for their continued investment in our progress."
The GLDC is a not for profit corporation that was established to redevelop the former Air Force base—now know as the Griffiss Business and Technology Park—and to promote economic development and job-retention to non-governmental tenants that have located or are planning to locate at the facility.
The 10-year allocation to Commodore Aviation is supported by the Oneida County Industrial Development Agency. The power is limited to private sector usage and is specifically barred from use by federal or local government agencies.
Allocations to ICM Controls and Sysco Food Services are each for a ten-year period and are supported by the Onondaga County Office of Economic Development and the Metropolitan Development Association of Syracuse and Central New York, Inc.
All three allocations were recommended for approval by the New York State Economic Development Power Allocation Board.

Thomas T. Traver
Thomas Townsend Traver, 76, of 85 Barker St., Jamestown, passed away at 3:50 p.m. Monday (Jan. 7, 2013), in WCA Hospital.
A lifelong area resident, he was born Sept. 29, 1936, in Jamestown, N.Y., a son of the late Garfield C. and Dorothy M. Swanson Traver.
He was a veteran of the U.S. Army serving from Aug. 16, 1954, to Aug. 1, 1957. He served as an U.S. Army medic and paratrooper in the 82nd Air-borne.
Before his disability due to ill health, he was employed as a truck driver for the Lyons Transportation Lines for several years and also worked for Keith Trucking. He also worked as a carpenter and will be remembered as a very skilled handyman who could build anything.
He was a proud veteran and was a member of the National American Legion and the Blinded Veterans Association.
Surviving are his children: Shelly Traver and Thomas Traver, both of Jamestown, and Janeane Varos of Mayville; 18 grandchildren; several great-grandchildren; his brother, Philip (Janet) Traver of North Carolina; as well as several nieces and nephews.
Besides his parents, he was preceded in death by a sister, Theresa Roberts; a grandson, Charles Edstrom; and a brother, Daniel Traver.
A memorial service will be held at a later date and time to be announced by the family.
Memorials may be made to the Chautauqua Blind Association, 510 W. Fifth St., Jamestown, NY 14701; or to a charity of one's choice.

I wonder if you could use something like thishttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B0007UF3GE/?tag=pmak-20inside of something like this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004FJR77G/?tag=pmak-20It's just an idea. I would imagine the person giving out the free samples would restock often so they wouldn't get that cold and soggy.
Norma, boy scouts, girl scouts, church groups, enlist the help of kids that want to do something fun. Offer them a pie or two to take home to the family, give them a merit badge, teach them how to make a pie. Delivery is not an issue, pies are delivered every day of the year and are edible, well depends on who made them, when they get to the customers door.Just a thought. Once you get a customer base, perhaps you will no longer need to "go out there", but who knows you may have to grow with public demand. Mark
Norma,You indicated that there are about 200 stands at market. Yet, there does not appear to be any directory of who the standholders are or where they are located, either in kiosk types of directory arrangements or paper directories that could be handed out at strategic points at market as visitors enter the market from different parking lots. Do the stands have numbers or names? I would think that it would be in the best interests of everyone--the owners and managers of the market and the individual standholders--to have some sort of directory. When I go to a mall, or even a large airport, I routinely look at directories to see which stores or food providers might have what I am looking for and where they are located. Some malls have multiple levels, and I would never think to wander level by level and store by store hoping to get lucky. The market where your stand is located is subject to random visitations, by locals, tourists and other visitors who may not have a specific plan in mind when they arrive at market to check out the stands. If your situation is not conducive to steering visitors to your stand by the various methods suggested by other members, and management is unwilling to bring water to another, more conveniently located stand for you to move to, then why not consider creating a directory to at least let visitors know who and what is at market? The directory could be by category, such as used at malls, and one directory might be food, which would include pizza in your case. If you feel that the managers are not up to creating a directory, then maybe a group of standholders could do it. I would seek out the most influential and valuable standholders at market to be your allies in your case. I would perhaps do that even before confronting management on the matter. If veryone is treated equally, there should be little reason to discourage the creation of a directory. And, if a directory is created and people still do not visit your stand in sufficient numbers, then you would have to revisit the entire matter and your purpose at market. Peter
norma, could you use a portable four compartment sink and not worry about water lines. i use them to qualify my truck as a mobile catering business. you would have a hand sink and three individual sinks for cleaning dishes and utensils. you would need bottled water to make your dough. the other thing that i find helpful are sandwich boards.i buy mine and use laminated card stock fastened with Velcro to customize it for each use. one of the wineries puts us at the back of the property and putting the sign at the front door doubled our sales vs week before from 50 pies to 100 plus. you may be able to put them at every entrance. from the looks of your food one visit and you will have them hooked!!!
Norma: I read in one of your posts here you threw out a bunch of dough balls. When my dough gets tired I roll it out with a rolling pin into a thin rectangle, slice the dough into long strips and then knot them very lightly and cook em on the deck. Top with butter, cinnamon/sugar, olive oil/garlic powder, and you have a cool side dish that people around here go nuts on. I get like 6-8 strips on a 1lb dough ball. Make them small for samples or just cut them up, have someone walk around the market with them, and when they try it and say "man this is good" have your person tell them if you think these are good you should try the pizza! That is a dirt cheap way to lure people in. People pay $1 for one out here and some of these same customers complain about my $7 price for a 18" pie that uses grande whole milk mozz, grande provolone, DOP parmigiano regiano, DOP romano, and fresh harvested basil on top! They say little cesars on our corner has them for $5. Go figure............. We catered a big event today. I was stocked with menues and information on our program. It was at a huge mansion our village owns and the patrons were all 6 figure + earners. They loved the pizza and even a group of NYC natives approved by eating almost a pie each They came up to me with typical NYC pizza attitude- "this better be real pizza". I looked them dead in the eye and laughed. I said if you don't like it I will go to NYC and bring you one home for diner (we live 500 miles away). I had no pizza bags and even though they got cold there were only 3 left at the end of the event. Go girl go and tell that town of yours you are the queen of PIZZA! Walter
Norma: here is a video on the basic how to-not my way all the way but a general idea to work with. I prefer laying them out on a sheet pan or pizza pan when they come out of the oven and to brush on the olive oil or melted butter. I put them direct on the stone where this guy puts them on a screen for convience. Even when they cool they taste good. The long ferment dough flavor really jumps out with these. Thanks! Walter
Norma: You got it! How about using butter instead of olive oil with the garlic? Flood that market with free samples of those things and you may find those simple dough products bringing in customers that will buy both them and your pizzas in record numbers. Walter PS: Try some cinnamon/sugar sprinkled pretty heavy on some with melted butter.
Norma, many of us in the younger generation rely heavily on internet information in order to make sure what we're doing is worth our while, at least in our eyes. Personally, I would not go to the Roots Market without first checking their website for information. Thus, I went to the market website and quickly found your miniature webpage (http://www.rootsmarket.com/standholders-detail.asp?Image=59). If I am correct in believing that most younger people would first visit the market website before going, and judging by the number of people at the market, their website must get decent traffic. My idea is as follows: The managers at the market do seem willing to help you, if not proactively. Perhaps the main homepage for Roots Market could feature a small stand each week, whereby the Roots homepage displayed the mini webpage of the vendor prominently. You could write a paragraph or two explaining your product. Most importantly, however, you could show high-res photos of your product. I, as do most others here, feel that your product speaks for itself in photographs. If Roots Market is unwilling to devote homepage space to this idea, then they could possible create a sidebar link on the website called "Featured Vendors" where more than one vendor at a time could be featured, albeit with less internet traffic. I don't know the number of small-scale vendors at the market, but even if you could get a week or two per year on the homepage, I believe it would be beneficial. It doesn't sound like the large scale vendors need advertising, nor vendors outside area 4 and the other low-traffic areas.I don't think that any of these ideas will single-handedly fix your problem, but they could add up in a way that could have a positive impact.
I don't have a clue as to how search engines work but.....is there a way that Norma could have a little web page link that comes up on the list of searchable items every time a person does a google search for "Roots Market" ?
Looking at your Facebook page, I now see that you do have great pictures on the internet. Perhaps you could serve pizza at the Market's other events? I see that they host several car shows and auctions. While these customers may never be seen again, it could bolster income until standard market traffic increases.
Alright. It seems like the only viable solution is increased advertising. Of course, the best form of advertising will be people carrying around hot slices of your pies, so you may see an exponential rate of growth. I hope that this thread stays active so we can continue to note changes and results through the weeks.My only other suggestion has to do with labeling. I see that you market Detroit style and Boardwalk style pies. Those of us here on the forum can recognize and appreciate your excellent renditions of both aforementioned styles. However, I can't imagine that the average Lancaster County resident even knows what the main ingredient in dough is, let alone somewhat obscure pizza types. Your average customer might be intimidated by a seemingly foreign variety of pizza. Perhaps you could either 1. keep making the same pizzas but market them as basic-sounding "thick" and "thin" pizzas or 2. switch to making a classic Lehmann NY style and a basic Sicilian pie and label them as such. I don't mean in any way to belittle the work you put into your perfected styles, but the hoi polloi doesn't necessarily appreciate the nuances of a particular style as we do. (Personally, I'm a 18 year-old who still lives with his parents. When I tell my family that the dough that their pizza is made of has been fermenting in the refrigerator for the past 3 days, they make funny faces; it tastes damn good but they don't care how I achieved it. They then wonder why the heck I decided to put stripes of sauce over the cheese post-bake; they don't care that I'm attempting to recreate a specific regional style.) All I'm trying to get at here is that people, for the most part, are after something familiar --cheesy, hot, and tasty-- rather than after the masterpiece of an artisan.Best of luck. I've been admiring your work for a while now and would love to make the three hour trip up Rt. 83 to try your pizza in person.

Happy Hump Day...my mini Ulta haul...
Happy Hump Day! Already halfway through the week :) Tomorrow one of my good friends from home (Orlando) is coming into town and bringing her friend with her. It's going to be a big week of entertaining and seeing the sights. My roomy is taking off Friday to take them out during the day but she also works from home and luckily has more flexibility to do so. There are so many weddings and events that I have to go to this year that I need to save my vacation time! It's definitely going to be a jam-packed few days so no video editing for me this weekend! Luckily I have my video reserve for times like this. I think I'm going to give my friend a makeover since it's her birthday...she doesn't really do makeup so it will be a nice little change. Luckily I have my foundation and blush palettes so I can do everything from start to finish. It will be good practice to. She's Haitian and has beautiful dark chocolate skin so i'll have the opportunity to experiment with different colors on new skin tones.
Meanwhile, I was bad and went to ULTA yesterday :( I know I've been trying to hold out for FAFI but I couldn't resist! I was looking for the Milani Blush in Luminous and some of the NYX lipsticks that Mrs. Lynne has (you guys are bad influences on me, lol) and they didn't have any at Wal-Mart, CVS, or ULTA. Man! However, I did have time to step over to the Urban Decay section at ULTA. Have you guys tried the Urban Decay deluxe eyeshadows? Oh my gosh, they are heaven! The description states they have a cashmere finish and when you run your fingers over them they feel so soft and silky-definitely the softest eyeshadow I've ever felt. I know Vanessa did a post on this back in December on this and POWPOW baby on youtube also did a video review. Each deluxe eyeshadow is about $17.50 and comes in it's own specificially decorated case that is too cute. For example, the cover graffiti has it's own compact with spray paint lettering on the front, how cute is that? I was going to get two of them. However, I saw they had the palette with all the shades, just smaller amounts, for $36. I couldn't pass it up! The colors are so vibrant. I did a video on it last night...a Barney inspired look if you will...bright green and purple! If you're into highly pigmented bright eyeshadow colors, I definitely recommend. The color only needs one swipe to be super bright, but you need to watch out for the fallout because of the soft texture of the eyeshadows. I was inspired by Vanessa's posts and finally pulled out my bright fuscia eyeshadow...she pulls of bright blushes so beautifully that I was inspired to give it a try. After much toning down with a flat top kabuki, lol, I managed to get that blush on. You'll have to see the results yourself when I post the video :)
I also picked up two pairs of NYC false eyelashes because they were $1.99 and all NYC products were buy one get one free! I wore them with my look last night and let me tell you...I can see why they were cheap. They were so flimsy and hard to get on compared with the Ardell, Elise, and Andrea lashes I'm used to. But hey, at $1.00 I'm fine with wrestling with the lashes for a few extra seconds to get them on.
I also got some more smashbox photofinish primer...however, I got the green one that's supposed to correct redness in the skin. I got the smaller screw top one for $16.00 and honestly I'm not sure how much of a difference I see. That stuff is super expensive...I'm going to give it a few more gos before I give my final verdict on this one.
Don't forget to watch American Idol and Project Runway tonight...Enough blabbing...back to work :)

I went to Ulta right before I left CA when I was there on vaca. It's like Disneyland! I guess it's good they don't have one here. It'd be my second home, lol.

The closest ULTA store to me is in Pasadena. Unfortunately, I don't feel like driving and traffic sucks in that direction (towards LA). LOL. I guess it's a good thing. :P I'm lucky I have a Longs Drugs down the street that sells NYX. :P

Oh my gosh, the UD deluxe shadows are amazing, aren't they?! I tested them out at Sephora and they were silky soft and like butter. The only thing is that they don't have a wide variety of colors, but I'm sure that'll increase over time. Did you hear they're coming out with pigments, too?

Most of his soundtracks are great. I love the soundtrack to Vanilla Sky (Not just because of Macca, either!)
I heard that film wasn't that great, but I did see a few interesting choices for the soundtrack - I think Lindsey Buckingham had a new track on it.

Few local development projects in our area have generated as much debate and discussion as Jewish Home Lifecare's proposed move to Park West Village, and for good reason.
In 2009, JHL announced its intention to vacate its property at West 106th Street and construct a new nursing facility within the Park West Village footprint. In turn, JHL would sell its current property to the Chetrit Group, which had already built several new residential buildings and a commercial strip within Park West Village.
The proposed development site on West 97th Street between Amsterdam and Columbus avenues is more than just a parking lot. It's one of the last vestiges of open space within Park West Village, which has already been developed beyond recognition over the last decade.
This parcel is also located directly adjacent to a public school, P.S. 163, which only raises the alarm about the potential health and safety impacts associated with this project, because it will be taking place near hundreds of students.
For years, Park West Village residents, the surrounding community, the parents of P.S. 163, and elected officials have protested this project, citing concerns about traffic, construction safety, noise, and the scale of the proposed building.
These concerns are real ones: West 97th Street is already a busy corridor with heavy westbound traffic and a high concentration of delivery trucks arriving at local supermarkets. The traffic situation can only get worse with the construction of the new 20-story, 414-bed nursing facility.
Park West Village and P.S. 163 know very well the impacts of infill construction on their neighborhood. The residential and school community already had a grueling experience with construction several years ago during the development of the Columbus Square complex, which included loud drilling, excessive dust, and even a crane accident.
Most alarmingly, the community gathered at a meeting organized by the residents of Park West Village, where we heard the results of a study finding exceedingly high levels of lead at the proposed site for the nursing facility. Samples taken from the West 97th Street parking lot contained the highest lead levels of 12 parking lots studied throughout New York City.
Surrounding residents—not to mention the parents at P.S. 163—are right to be concerned about the potential impacts on air quality if construction were to begin on this parcel.
After extensive written communications to the New York State Department of Health requesting an opportunity to provide feedback on this project, the community won a significant victory when the department announced that it would in fact prepare an environmental impact statement for this site. DOH had previously granted approval to JHL for the construction of a nursing facility on West 97th Street.
The environmental impact statement presents an enormous opportunity not only for the community to be heard, but also for a robust study of the potential repercussions of this project on Upper West Side and Manhattan Valley residents' quality of life.
As the current City Council member and the Democratic nominee for this district, we joined with our constituents at last month's scoping meeting, which will help inform the range of issues covered by the environmental impact statement, in calling for a wide-ranging environmental review that would take into account the many concerns expressed by the community.
Now, as DOH moves through the process of preparing the statement, we need to remain vigilant as a community to ensure that the department is evaluating this project in a manner that truly considers the needs of the surrounding community first.
As we stated unequivocally at last month's scoping meeting, we simply cannot even entertain the idea of this project moving forward until we are completely certain that there will be no adverse impacts on the health of the children of P.S. 163 or the residents of Park West Village.
While we do not dispute that the older adults residing at JHL would be better served by a new, upgraded facility, the community is expressing valid concerns that require serious consideration.
Melissa Mark-Viverito is the City Council member for the district that includes the proposed location of the Jewish Home Lifecare nursing facility. Mark Levine is the Democratic nominee for the redrawn council district that will now include the proposed development site.

Totally new to bulk tea...have always used grocerystore teabags, so I don't know what I'm doing AT ALL!
First question:
When you brew and don't want to brew again immediately...how do you save the used leaves to use again?
I would think they would get moldy if left wet...so do you spread them out to dry?
Take pity on this poor newbie...lol...

Yvon Godin Acadie—Bathurst, NB
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-559, An Act to amend the Supreme Court Act (understanding the official languages).
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to introduce a bill, in both official languages, amending the Supreme Court Act.
As we all know, the laws themselves are written in each of the two languages. There is one set of laws written in English and one written in French; neither one is a translation of the other.
The bill would amend the Supreme Court Act and introduce a new requirement for judges appointed to the Supreme Court to understand English and French without the assistance of an interpreter.
This is why I am proud to introduce this bill. Our country is officially bilingual, and it is only natural that judges in our country's highest court be able to read the law in the client's preferred language. This is why I am introducing this bill.

Routine Proceedings
10:05 a.m.
Mark Warawa Langley, BC
Mr. Speaker, it is an honour to rise in the House today to present a petition from a number of my constituents in Langley and across the country.
The petitioners are asking for a new volunteer service medal. They point out that during the specified period of service to their country, Canadians from September 3, 1939 to March 1, 1947 received the Canadian volunteer service medal. During a specified period of service to their country, Canadians from June 27, 1950 to July 27, 1954 received the Canadian volunteer service medal for Korea.
The petitioners respectfully call upon the Government of Canada to recognize, by means of the issuance of a new Canadian volunteer service medal to be designated the Governor General's volunteer service medal, volunteer service by Canadians in the regular and reserve military forces, and cadet corps support staff who are not eligible for the aforementioned medals, and who have completed 365 days of uninterrupted honourable duty in the service of their country, Canada, since March 2, 1947.
CBC Radio Orchestra
Routine Proceedings

Don Bell North Vancouver, BC
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to present two petitions today submitted by Gene and Maureen Ramsbottom of North Vancouver, and signed by 104 others who share their concern over the disbanding of the CBC Radio orchestra.
Based in Vancouver, the orchestra is a beloved Canadian cultural institution that has enriched the lives of Canadians for over 70 years by giving Canadian musicians and composers a place on the stage in Canada, and the world.
The petition calls on the government to ensure a continued mandate and adequate funding for CBC Radio to allow it to continue its contribution to the cultural life of Canada, including a strong and renewed commitment to classical music, and to accord the Vancouver-based CBC Radio orchestra natural cultural heritage status.
Bus Security
Routine Proceedings
10:10 a.m.
Peter Julian Burnaby—New Westminster, BC
Mr. Speaker, I am presenting three petitions today. The first is signed by several hundred residents of the Quebec City area, including Sainte-Foy, Charlesbourg, Beauport and Ancienne-Lorette. These citizens are calling on Parliament and the government to adopt legislative measures to protect public transportation workers from physical assault, which, sadly, is happening more and more frequently. These people are therefore asking the government to act and adopt the bill introduced by the member for Burnaby—New Westminster.
Security and Prosperity Partnership

The petitioners find the SPP anti-democratic and secretive, and that it will lead to the diminishing of our quality of life in Canada.
I also have a petition from residents of the lower mainland of British Columbia who are requesting the same thing, They find the SPP process that the Conservative government has embarked upon is anti-democratic and diminishes the quality of food, drug and air safety in this country.
The petitioners are asking the government to stop the SPP, allow for full public consultations, and a parliamentary vote.

Question No. 255
Questions on the Order Paper
Routine Proceedings
10:10 a.m.
Central Nova
Nova Scotia
Peter MacKay Minister of National Defence and Minister of the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency
Mr. Speaker, to date, the Government of Canada has taken steps to establish a rapid-reaction, air support unit at 3 Wing Bagotville through the creation of the 2 Air Expeditionary Wing (2 AEW), a variation of the original plan to form an air deployable army battalion in this location.
The government is currently considering creating an airborne battalion at 8 Wing Trenton, or establishing rapid reaction, air deployable army battalions at 19 Wing Comox or 5 Wing Goose Bay.
In response to a) Planning for permanent infrastructure at 2 AEW Bagotville is progressing, but it is not yet possible to specify the completion dates for these projects, particularly since the tendering process has yet to begin. However, the Department of National Defence and the Canadian Forces (DND/CF) are aiming for this unit to reach initial operational capability by 2010 with approximately 250 personnel; as such, DND/CF may decide to make use of temporary facilities at Bagotville to accommodate personnel until the primary buildings are completed.
In response to b) On 20 July 2007, the government announced that it will provide $85 million for personnel costs, and up to $300 million for infrastructure and equipment, for the creation of an Air Expeditionary Wing at Bagotville, which will eventually comprise approximately 550 personnel once it reaches full operational capability in 2015.
In response to c) The following military personnel have been added between 1 April 2006 and 1 April 2008:
- 3 Wing Bagotville: 30.
Of these 30 personnel, 21 personnel are directly associated with the creation of 2 AEW. This number will increase in Summer 2008, when a small cadre of personnel will begin arriving at 2 AEW Bagotville as part of initial preparations for the training, equipping and structuring of this air support unit;
- 19 Wing Comox: 3;
- 8 Wing Trenton: 222; and
- 5 Wing Goose Bay: 0.
The personnel increases at 19 Wing Comox, 8 Wing Trenton and 5 Wing Goose Bay are not associated with the creation of airborne or air deployable army battalions in these locations.

Mr. Speaker, I ask that all remaining questions be allowed to stand.

Dow hits record, erasing Great Recession losses
NEW YORK – The stock market is back.
Five and a half years after the start of a frightening drop that erased $11 trillion from stock portfolios and made investors despair of ever getting their money back, the Dow Jones industrial average has regained all the losses suffered during the Great Recession and reached a new high. The blue-chip index rose 125.95 points Tuesday and closed at 14,253.77, topping the previous record of 14,164.53 on Oct. 9, 2007, by 89.24 points.
"It signals that things are getting back to normal," says Nicolas Colas, chief market strategist at ConvergEx Group, a brokerage. "Unemployment is too high, economic growth too sluggish, but stocks are anticipating improvement."
The new record suggests that investors who did not panic and sell their stocks in the 2008-2009 financial crisis have fully recovered. Those who have reinvested dividends or added to their holdings have done even better. Since bottoming at 6,547.05 on March 9, 2009, the Dow has risen 7,706.72 points or 118 percent.
The Dow record does not include the impact of inflation. Adjusted for that, the Dow would have to reach 15,502 to match its old record, according to JPMorgan Chase.
The Standard and Poor's 500, a broader index, closed at 1,539.79, 25.36 points from its record.
The last time the Dow hit a record, George W. Bush still had another year as president, Apple had just sold its first iPhone, and Lehman Brothers was still in business.
But unemployment was also 4.7 percent versus 7.9 percent today, a reminder that stock gains have proved no elixir for the economy.
Still, the Dow high is another sign that the nation is slowly healing after the worst recession since the 1930s. It comes as car sales are at a five-year high, home prices are rising, and U.S. companies continue to report big profits.
The stock gains have helped retirement and brokerage accounts held by many Americans recover. That, in turn, has helped push U.S. household wealth nearly back to its peak before the recession, though many in the middle class are still deep in the hole. Most middle-class wealth is tied up in home values, which are still a third below their peak.
Good economic news Tuesday helped lift stocks. Retail sales in the 17 European countries that use the euro rose faster than expected, China's government said it would support ambitious growth targets, and a report showed U.S. service companies grew last month at their fastest pace in a year.
"It feels great," says Marty Leclerc, chief investment officer at Barrack Yard Advisors, an investment firm. In early 2009, when stocks were plummeting, "it looked like Armageddon was nigh. It's a lot more fun to be in a rising market."
