Viewing and experiencing art in a museum can actually affect you physically.
As Tom Jacobs reports in Miller-McCune, researchers outfitted visitors with an electronic glove while viewing an exhibit of contemporary art at the Kunstmuseum St. Gallen in Switzerland. The special glove measured the viewer's heart rate, skin conductivity, and movement from one place to another.
"Researchers tracked participants as they strolled through the gallery, allowing them to record physiological reactions to specific artworks. Afterward, each participant was asked his or her response to six of the pieces — the three they spent the most time viewing, as well as three others chosen in advance."
The research team then surveyed the 373 participants, all adults, asking them to evaluate some of the art and describe their emotional response.
The Swiss researchers compared the respondents' scores with the physical response data and found some intriguing correlations, which scored answers for each artwork based on five categories: Aesthetic Quality, Surprise/Humor, Negative Emotion, Dominance, and Curative Quality. The conclusion: an aesthetic appreciation of artwork creates a physical as well as an emotional reaction.
To be truly impactful, does art need to elicit a whole body experience? How does great art achieve this?

The assumption that the costs of climate recovery will be prohibitively high simply does not stand up to scrutiny.climate change, just lots of silver buckshot, then insisting that sacrifice is the key has the effect of distracting us from the reality that it will take many answers to solve the problem. Often, advocates of inaction or tokenism say the reason we must do too little is that the price of doing more is too extreme. It is not strategically helpful to reinforce this notion.

I call the meeting to order. We will have a few more members joining us, but we do have a quorum.
We have our witnesses here today from the beef value chain round table, the pork value chain round table, and the sheep value chain round table. We're going to start with the beef value chain round table. We have Mr. Blair Coomber and Mr. Travis Toews.
I understand, Mr. Coomber, you're going to start. You have 10 minutes or fewer, please.
3:30 p.m.
Blair Coomber Government Co-Chair, Beef Value Chain Roundtable, and Director General, Multilateral Relations, Policy and Engagement Directorate, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Thank you for the invitation to be here.
I am going to make a few brief comments on behalf of the federal chairs, and then turn it over to each of the round tables.
Good afternoon, and thank you very much for the opportunity to speak on behalf of the value chain round tables. In March, our former colleague Steve Tierney provided you with an overview of the VCRT process in each of the 11 round tables.
Canada's agriculture and agrifood sector is world-renowned for the quality of its products, impeccable standards and regulations, as well as its innovative technology and research. While this sector maintains a strong advantage over global competition, the agriculture and agrifood sector can be a diverse and varied industry. Contributing factors include economics, geographic location, provincial and federal regulations, as well as environmental and social issues. The value chain round tables establish stability and cohesion within the sector, and provide an excellent platform for bringing together key industry leaders with the federal and provincial governments. The VCRTs are industry-led in partnership with government, and are innovative, efficient, and accountable.
No single segment of the value chain can, on its own, meet all the demands. Collaboration is necessary. Producers are working with processors and other stakeholders to find a mutually acceptable solution or course of action to address the major issues.
Round tables give every stakeholder, from field to fork, a single forum in which to discuss concerns and priorities with governments and other interested parties. Furthermore, the supply chain as a whole can contribute to the solution. This gives the industry access to federal government representatives to discuss solutions and concerns as they arise.
The VCRTs contribute to the sector's success via issue identification, coordination, and solution-based results that lead to better working supply chains and faster-growing sectors. Therefore, it is in the best interests of the industry and governments to collaborate.
The round tables will also bring together other government department officials who are integral in moving forward priority issues for the individual round tables as needed. Other government departments that the round tables work with include the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Environment Canada, Health Canada, Transport Canada, the Public Health Agency, Human Resources and Skills Development Canada, and Citizenship and Immigration Canada.
Industry has found this forum extremely effective in producing tangible results and outcomes. It should be noted that the VCRTs have expanded from six to 11 round tables over the last four years, which is an indication of industry's interest in them and of their willingness to financially contribute to cover the cost of attending the round table meetings.
In addition to the round tables, the all chairs forum reinforces AAFC's commitment to the round table process and includes annual discussions between the value chain round table co-chairs, AAFC's deputy minister, and his federal colleagues. This provides a chance to widen interdepartmental engagement of industry issues and provides an opportunity to develop actions that will address issues of importance affecting all the round tables.
Other forums developed out of common cross-sectoral issues include the Agri-Subcommittee on Food Safety and the labour task force working group. This is a unique opportunity to highlight two successful round tables, beef and pork, and to introduce you to our newest round table, the Sheep VCRT. These two round tables provide perfect examples of how to successfully establish a functioning and productive sector by harnessing the supply chains' expertise and knowledge.
I'd like to highlight that the beef value chain round table was established just prior to the BSE outbreak in 2003. Its role during the BSE crisis is a prime example of the importance of these forums and their ability to manage crises. The forum served as a primary mechanism for consultation during the crisis and contributed to restoring the beef industry's competitive position, both domestically and globally.
The pork round table is focused on competitive issues and on moving the sector forward after the restructuring that took place a few years ago. The pork round table has developed a strategic plan that encompasses four pillars: the competitiveness environment, market penetration, value chain integration, and innovation and research.
Additionally, the pork round table successfully functioned as a media coordinating body for a government-industry communications response to the H1N1 flu epidemic. The newly formed sheep round table carries tremendous potential; however, the sector is facing major competitiveness issues that need to be addressed. This forum will assist in bringing together a fragmented industry to collaborate towards a common goal, contributing to the success of the sector.
Mr. Chair, members, I would like to introduce the industry co-chairs or representatives: Travis Toews, from the beef value chain round table; Florian Possberg, from the pork value chain round table; and Andrew Gordanier from the sheep value chain round table.
Now I would like to turn it over to each of them for some brief comments, if that's okay.
3:35 p.m.
The Chair Larry Miller
Mr. Possberg, do you want to go next?
3:35 p.m.
Florian Possberg Member, Board of Directors, Canadian Pork Council, Pork Value Chain Roundtable
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'm pleased to have this opportunity to meet with this committee today.
The pork value chain round table is dealing with a number of things. The Canadian pork industry is world-renowned for production standards and high-quality products. In 2011, we had sales of just over $3.2 billion and exported to more than 100 countries.
To maintain an advantage over global competitors, it is essential to offer products that exceed expectations, that are really second to none, and to differentiate the quality of offerings and add value to the final product. On that note, we've been able to successfully move more product, from frozen to fresh, into international global markets.
The pork value chain round table was launched in 2003 to provide a platform for discussing ideas, priorities, and solutions that will contribute to the long-term success of the industry. Like all round tables, the pork value chain round table requires input from across the supply chain. The suppliers include exporters and retailers and others involved in getting our pork to the marketplace.
Our round table focuses on competitiveness issues affecting the sector, and a strategic framework that is structured around four pillars drives our agenda. Number one is creating a competitive environment; two is maintaining market penetration; three is value chain integrity; and four is adding innovation to our industry.
The key challenge over the last five years has been to move from a period of the industry's surviving to one of its succeeding. In 2007 we were faced with a rapidly changing Canadian dollar, higher feed prices, and competition from various other interests that created difficult times for our industry. We really did see some repositioning of our business.
The success of the Canadian pork industry is largely dependent on its ability to differentiate the quality of offerings and add value to the final product. We've been involved in such things as Canadian quality assurance programs, which provide food safety and assurance for our customers globally.
The Canadian pork industry must be able to compete with international competitors. In the pork industry, the number one exporter globally is the United States, followed by the EU, and Canada is in third position. It is the Americans who set the benchmark.
We need to look at things such as improvements to transportation logistics to facilitate trade, the development of ways to reduce operating costs, and the improvement of the regulatory environment.
It's interesting to observe how regulations and logistics can affect the marketplace. I was amazed to learn that it costs more to move product from Red Deer to Vancouver than it does from Montreal to Vancouver. The difference is that one moves by rail and one goes across the tall hills by truck. Those things can be worked out with a focused interest and people working together.
The round table, in collaboration with government, is investigating how Canada's revenues and costs stack up against those of the U.S. and in fact global competitors. We know that Canada's ability to produce high-quality pork ranks with the very best—Brazil and maybe a couple other jurisdictions would be in the same position as Canada and the United States.
In reference to market penetration, the success and strength of the industry depends on access to markets around the world. This has been a strength of Canada. Our ability to export to 100 different countries is pretty amazing and is something we're very proud of. As with beef, market access is critical for the pork supply chain.
By negotiating access within countries' import regimes, addressing compliance requirements of international markets, completing free trade agreements, and implementing effective promotional programs to highlight Canadian products in key markets, we can ensure that Canadian products have access to lucrative global markets. There really is a difference between markets. Some are high-priced, high-quality markets, and some not so much.
The supply chain must provide the systems to ensure food safety, provide for animal welfare and traceability, and ensure stringent biosecurity measures. And that speaks to our health in Canada. It's interesting that Canada probably exports genetics to more countries globally than any other country in the world, and it's because we have a very good health status, and that's a prerequisite. Many of the leading genetic companies have located international operations to Canada for that very reason.
Our sector is currently finalizing an action plan on issues and initiatives that could influence different segments of the supply chain. We regard innovation and research as critical to maintaining the competitiveness of our industry. Our minister has been wise in investing in various initiatives in our industry, such as the Canadian Swine Health Board, which helps to maintain the status we have as a high-quality supplier of healthy pork and genetics.
Research and development priorities of pork producers include increasing food safety, enhancing animal welfare, reducing costs of production, and generating novel feed inputs. The pork round table is working to ensure that industry members take advantage of ongoing research being conducted throughout this sector.
What we see as our next steps, priority issues for 2012, include continually moving forward on the pillars of the strategic framework, maintaining our domestic market, initiating traceability across Canada, funding research and innovation, continuing to work with our federal government on market access, and ensuring our industry is prepared for emergencies.
In closing, Mr. Chairman, the pork sector has been through a tremendous amount of change over the last few years, but with collaboration on all levels, we will continue to strive towards a sector that is profitable, sustainable, and innovative. Thank you.
3:40 p.m.
The Chair Larry Miller
Thank you very much.
Mr. Gordanier, please go ahead.
3:40 p.m.
Andrew Gordanier Industry Co-Chair, Chair, Canadian Sheep Federation, Sheep Value Chain Roundtable
Thank you.
I'm here to talk about the sheep value chain round table. I will begin with just a little bit of background.
The main goal of the sector is to create a profitable industry that encompasses all areas of the supply chain. Presently, the supply chain is fragmented and needs to be harnessed for future success.
Comprised of meat, dairy, wool, and genetic sectors, Canada's sheep and lamb industry is focused primarily on the production of high-quality lamb meat. However, the development of sheep dairy products such as yogourts and cheeses is a new area that promises future success.
In 2010 Canadian producers supplied 42% of the domestic meat market demand for Canada, and the farm cash receipts for sheep and lamb in Canada totalled $142 million. The combination of population growth and shifting consumer demands indicate there will be a growing demand for lamb and sheep dairy products. This is an opportunity industry needs to capitalize on to ensure its long-term viability and profitability.
The Canadian sheep sector has enormous potential both domestically and internationally, yet the industry recognizes there are many issues facing the industry that will hinder its growth. While the industry has been seeing consistent increases in demand for the product, there is a worldwide shortage of lamb.
There has been a 3.3% decline in the amount of lamb imported into Canada in the past 12 months. The decrease is not surprising given that flocks worldwide have been shrinking. The global reduction can be attributed to increases in the cost of production, weather-related drought, and within-country competition for more profitable uses of land.
This is a huge opportunity for the industry to capitalize on, not just filling our domestic demand but also the export potential. It also becomes an issue of food security and ensuring there are diverse agricultural products produced in Canada to feed an ever-increasing population.
Industry and government are working together to advance and implement actions intended to improve the industry's competitive position and expand Canadian production. Collaboration along the supply chain and with governments is integral in any success the sector may have.
Achieving this competitive position requires expansive representation from all levels of the value chain. The sheep value chain round table was formally established in 2011 to develop a shared understanding of the key market challenges and opportunities facing the industry, and to enhance cooperation and interaction amongst all stakeholders along the sheep value chain.
Here are some challenges, issues, and other factors facing the sheep industry. Better coordination of industry knowledge will assist in transforming this industry in a fashion that is beneficial for rural Canada, the producers and processors, and other stakeholders.
The industry is also facing a reduced number of processors. There is a need to focus on ensuring the entire value chain is profitable. The way the lamb industry is structured, most lamb are killed in provincially inspected plants, so that the meat cannot leave the province in which it was processed. In trying to access more markets, plants have been trying to become federally inspected and several have ended up going bankrupt. This is not helping the industry.
Government and industry have prepared an economic analysis on the impact of increased supply of lamb on domestic price. This piece was very well received by industry and provides important information going forward.
One area of concern is competitive access to animal health products, for example, veterinary drugs. The sector, with the help of government, is working to make the system better for industry while protecting animal health. Sheep traceability offers the potential to the sheep sector to impose not only the ability to manage disease but also enhance its competitive position. This system is being built in partnership with federal, provincial, and territorial governments.
The advancement of the sheep industry is dependent upon keeping existing producers in business and attracting new entrants to the supply chain. Supporting the existing and new entrants will be a priority for the sector going forward.
Industry, in collaboration with government, has developed an action plan that will result in expanding the size and the productivity of the Canadian flock and will improve the overall competitiveness of the industry.
In the next steps forward, industry will continue to work with governments to develop plans that will contribute to fostering a successful Canadian sheep industry.
Finally, in closing, there is a remarkable amount of industry knowledge available that can be tapped into to work towards making this sector another success story.
Thank you.

Mr. Toews.
3:50 p.m.
Travis Toews Past-President, Canadian Cattlemen's Association, Beef Value Chain Roundtable
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
For those who don't know me, my wife, family, and I own and operate a cow-calf and yearling operation out of Grande Prairie, Alberta. I appreciate this opportunity to present on behalf of the beef value chain round table.
The Canadian beef industry is a global leader, known for its premium products, world-renowned genetics, innovation and research, as well as its investments in food safety and quality. The biggest importers of Canadian beef are the United States, Mexico, and Japan. In 2009 Canada's beef exports totalled over $1.2 billion.
Launched in 2003, the beef value chain round table was established to foster a collaborative industry-government relationship that would secure an enduring competitive advantage for Canada in global markets. In 2003 and subsequent years it served as a BSE round table and enabled initiatives and solutions from the total supply chain during that time.
The beef supply chain in Canada has many different interconnected parts from genetics, feed manufacturers, backgrounders, cow-calf operations, feedlots, renderers, processors, food service, and retailers. There are places in the supply chain where each of these parts interact with one another, and there are issues of common concern and priority for all parts of the supply chain. However, there are also parts of the supply chain where the priorities and/or concerns are different and distinct.
For example, it's in the best interests of all parts of the supply chain for additional markets to open to Canadian beef. It is also in the best interests of all that each sector functions in the most competitive manner possible. The challenge is to grow the total pie so that all members of the supply chain have additional opportunity.
Competitiveness issues are incredibly important to the sector and recent key priorities include own-use imports, traceability, e-certification, the temporary foreign worker programs, the beef legacy fund, and regulatory cooperation with the United States. AAFC and other government departments are actively working with the sector to move forward on a number of these priorities. However, there are examples where the industry feels faster movement is necessary. Improving the regulatory environment through regulatory modernization concerning e-certification, the approval processes for veterinary drugs, new plant varieties, and food safety interventions remains a top priority for the sector.
The sector continues to dedicate attention to determining and updating market access priorities and is working alongside the Canadian Beef Breeds Council, the Canadian Livestock Genetics Association, and Canada Beef Inc., to increase international and domestic market development. Innovation and research enable the industry to maintain a globally competitive edge, and the supply chain has played a role in the creation of the beef science cluster.
The sector is in the process of drafting a national beef research strategy that will define a five-year national beef research strategy that establishes desired industry research outcomes and improves coordination of funders. AAFC has been involved in the creation of this strategy and continues to support the sector moving forward.
A key priority for the sector is the management of information transfer issues associated with tracking and traceability. The beef information exchange system, developed by the Canadian Cattlemen's Association, is a program that's a world-renowned example of this. Both are important and effective tools that support emergency management by enabling the flow of information across the agrifood chain, and therefore, reduce the economic impacts of an emergency.
Recently the round table took the opportunity to review its objectives with a goal of resetting its agenda. This revised agenda will be considered further at future meetings.
Looking ahead, the beef value chain round table will continue to work on identified issues of importance and next steps over the course of 2012 and beyond. Key priority issues going forward for the beef value chain round table include exploring value creation opportunities, development of the beef research strategy, and continuing to work on competitiveness issues identified by the industry.
In conclusion, the beef value chain round table's vision is to lead the world in profitable, innovative beef solutions together. I will say that while many of our issues, in particular regulatory challenges, move slower than we would like to see, I don't know of a venue where we have advanced those regulatory issues of concern in a more constructive way than at the beef value chain round table.
One of the table's most important achievements has been the improvement in the spirit of collaboration across the beef value chain.
The beef value chain round table has also been instrumental in establishing a foreign veterinary presence, resulting in four CFIA veterinarians posted abroad in key markets.
Another beef value chain round table initiative has been the creation of the Market Access Secretariat. While the beef value chain wasn't the initial organization to kickstart that initiative, it certainly lent a lot of support in its establishment.
Again, as was mentioned, the beef value chain round table was instrumental in managing and enhancing communication during the BSE crisis. It played a pivotal role during that time. It has also been very instrumental in working with the Bureau of Veterinary Drugs to enhance their resources and eliminate the backlog in approval of new products. It has worked ultimately to contribute to the beef cattle industry firmly recovering its global competitive position.
Finally, I would be remiss not to thank Minister Ritz, Minister Fast and Prime Minister Stephen Harper for their support and assistance, and for moving forward with many of the priorities that have been identified at the beef value chain round table.

Thank you very much.
Ms. Raynault, for five minutes.

Thank you.
Mr. Toews, mad cow triggered a serious crisis in your industry back in 2002, preventing you from accessing many markets. I believe that things are falling back in place.
Do you think that efforts to open markets will put you on the right path and allow you to return, 10 years later, to 2002 export rates?
In your estimate, how much has the industry lost since 2002? People are eating less and less beef, opting instead for poultry. What kind of advertising do you do to tell people that beef is now safe, that mad cow is a thing of the past? How do you respond to all that?
3:55 p.m.
Past-President, Canadian Cattlemen's Association, Beef Value Chain Roundtable
Thank you for that question. I think it's a very appropriate question for the cattle industry at this point in time.
As you've noted, we did experience a serious setback in 2003 when we lost all of our market access due to the discovery of BSE. I don't think the losses to the industry have been entirely quantified but they clearly were in the billions of dollars. It was a significant setback for the industry, and the supply chain that supported that industry.
Due to a lot of work by industry members and key government officials and work through the beef value chain round table, we have recovered the vast majority of that market access that had been lost. The industry is moving into a much brighter day. In fact, we're finding ourselves very competitive globally in spite of a high dollar and very high feed prices.
While with higher prices, per capita consumption of beef has dropped slightly, demand as measured by quantity times price has held constant here in Canada. We're very pleased about that. We're appreciative to Canadian consumers for supporting the industry.
You make a very good point on what's next in terms of market development both domestically and abroad. That's an issue our industry has taken quite seriously. In fact, it was really that question which prompted the reorganization of our market development organizations, which consisted of the Canada Beef Export Federation to look after our international market development, and the Beef Information Centre to deal with our North American market development.
In order to make better use of the funding and to be more efficient, we've combined those two organizations into Canada Beef Inc. That new organization is up and running with a new executive director. They've hit the ground running. They have both a very comprehensive domestic North American market development program, as well as a very targeted, focused international market development program.
We believe the time is right to really move forward with that market development work on behalf of the industry.

NU Medical Center receives recognition
NEW ULM – New Ulm Medical Center is celebrating National Hospital Week this week (May 11-17) with three national awards it received recently.
The awards signify that New Ulm Medical Center, a part of the Allina Health Network, is being recognized for the quality of the health care service it provides its patients, and is well poised to head into the future of health care, where good outcomes and efficient treatment will mean better compensation, said Toby Freier, president of NUMC.
The three awards include:
The 2014 iVantage Healthstrong Hospital Award. iVantage is a private health care advisory company that prepares indexes from the public information all hospitals provide to the federal government, and issues ratings and analyses. iVantage created the first national hospital rating system over 20 years ago.
New Ulm is one of only 547 hospitals in the nation (out of 4,400) named to the Hospital Strength Index, placing it in the top 12 percent in the nation. Only 14 hospitals in Minnesota were named; five of them are in the Allina system.
The index was based on ten "pillars of performance," including cost, quality, outcomes, patient perspectives, competitive strength, charge, competitive intensity, market size and grown, population risk and financial stability.
NUMC was also named to the Top 20 Critical Access Hospitals in America by the National Rural Health Association. NUMC was the only hospital in Minnesota to earn the honor, and it is the second year in a row the hospital has received the honor. iVantage conducted this survey as well, and it included 1.267 hospitals. This ranking looks at eight different indicators, and focuses on hospitals in rural areas.
The fact that the hospital has won this award for the second straight year is an indicator of the consistency of New Ulm Medical Center's emphasis on quality, said Freier.
NUMC also received the 2014 Outstanding Patient Experience Award, which puts NUMC in the top 15 percent of hospitals nationally, and the only one in south central and southwestern Minnesota to receive the honor. The ranking is based on the responses patients gave to the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Health Care Providers and Systems survey for visits between April 2012 and March 2013. Healthgrades evaluated 3,582 hospitals that submitted patient surveys to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. A total of 447 hospitals achieved the award.
Freier said it is gratifying that patients are giving good ratings to their experience at NUMC.
These awards signify that New Ulm Medical Center offers its patients good quality care, but it also is helpful in recruiting new physicians, said Dr. Dan Holmberg, M.D., the medical director for NUMC.
"We have no problem attracting new physicians, and we are one of the few rural hospital that doesn't face a shortage of doctors," said Holmberg.
Freier said NUMC's success in achieving this kind of recognition is a result, in part, of the resources and support available from being part of Allina, but also from the model it is working from. New Ulm Medical Center is unusual in combining the hospital, clinic, support services and physicians group in one unified group.
"It means we are all working from the same page toward a single goal," said Freier.
NUMC also enjoys great retention and continuity in its staff, he said. With little turnover, it is easier to produce and maintain a consistent effort toward its goal of continued improvement. NUMC does focus on quality, with frequent surveys of performance made possible through its electronic record keeping.
Over the years NUMC has also been able to identify and focus on specific areas of care, said Holmberg, such as how to communicate more effectively with patients, to make them more comfortable and better informed. When the organization reaches a point where it feels it is succeeding, it moves on to another area where there could be improvement.

Marvelous little follow-up interview. Although I would put Van Halen's 5150 up against Hysteria any day for the title of best piece of big-hair arena rock from the 1980s; both great albums, but Hysteria lacks the sheer virtuosity of Eddie Van Halen's playing -- including the famous "tapping" technique he learned from none other than a former guitarist for my absolute favorite band, Genesis.
I wonder if MDR is aware of the recent album by the band Metaphor that is based on, and titled, The Sparrow. Not exactly fist-in-the-air metal -- they're a prog-rock band -- but an intriguing treatment of the novel in a different format.

Inspiring segment all around, but this post-script is so worth the effort. As a rock musician with a BA in English (cf Lou Reed), I find it takes a tremendous effort to accept that sometimes lyrics are merely the syllables that hold the notes or explain the title and mood of the song (perhaps the opposite of Bob Dylan or Leonard Cohen or Conor Oberst, all of whom use familiar musical progressions). Further, I'm happy to know that my espousing the Beethoven-(arena) rock for the past 30 years is independently corroborated!

To me, it's obvious that there's a Lennon I really love until 1967: the beautiful voice, the beautiful songs, the joy (?) of being a beatle, the friendship and comraderie with Paul, George, Ringo et al., the Lennon from Please Please Me, A Hard Day's Night, If I Fell, Help, You've Got To Hide Your Love Away, You're Going To Lose That Girl, In My Life, I Am The Walrus, to name but a few.
And then... from 1968 til 1980 what a waste of talent. It seems that those guys got the wrong beatle to start that rumour of the "Paul Is Dead" thing.
Even his face seems to be different form 1968. Can it all be Yoko's fault?

Mountain Bikers of Santa Cruz (MBOSC) was really busy at the Sea Otter Classic this year. I think it was the biggest year yet for us. The weather was the best and lots of fun was had by all. How can you not have fun when in an immersive environment surrounded by shiny bikes, pro events and 20,000 of your closest friends?
The raffle for the Titus El Guapo was held on the last day of the Otter and we successfully met our goals. We raised over $5500 – which is more than enough to pay for the SDSF parking lot project and managed to implement electronic memberships during the process. We are really happy to say that we signed up and/or renewed 27 memberships during this campaign. Thank you all for your generous support!
The success of this organization is a testament to the volunteers and officers who make it happen. No one draws a salary and there are very little benefits to this type of work. At the end of the day it's people like you and I who want to improve mountain biking in Santa Cruz. We do it because of the passion for the sport and we love to ride in Santa Cruz County.

Ring ceremony an emotional experiencePosted Tuesday, April 17, 2012, at 9:01 AM
Before I dive into today's column, I wanted to remind everyone to dive into this week's contest for one of TWO free copies of A+E Networks Home Entertainment/MLB Productions DVD "St. Louis Cardinals 2011 World Series Champions" highlight film. If you know which past Cardinals pitcher has two World Series home runs under his belt then make sure to answer. Entries will be accepted until Thursday, April 19 at noon. Just click on this link to read more and find out how to enter.
I had the pleasure Saturday of getting to watch the St. Louis Cardinals receive their World Series rings and I've got to say it was one of the more emotional things I have ever watched at Busch Stadium.
Despite the horrible weather for the day, when the ceremony began at 11:30 a.m. the seats were full and everyone was on their feet. Some smiled, some screamed, some wept, but all cheered as their St. Louis Cardinals were rewarded for one of, if not the, most amazing comeback in baseball history.
Everyone in the organization that was on hand was filed out onto the field - owners, hall of famers, players, trainers and more - to receive a mahogany case that held a white gold ring with 133 diamonds and 77 rubies. Each box was not only deserved, but earned.
As they paraded out one at a time the crowd screamed, stomped and clapped.
Throughout the entire ceremony, the longtime rival Chicago Cubs, stood on the edge of their dugout to watch. It wasn't about rubbing it in to a team more than a century removed from a championship, it was about mutual respect for their colleagues. Whether it was to show his team what they should be chasing or just a matter of respect, I commend their manager for his professionalism. It was nice for just a moment to see the rivalry pushed aside to watch one of the most amazing ceremonies in all of sports.
This year, however, one of the Cubs got a ring, too.
Former Cardinals first-base coach Dave McKay trotted out of the dugout in his newly acquired Chicago Cubs jersey to receive his ring. He received the same cheers as every other member of the team before trotting back to his own dugout, the one opposite the dugout he has ran out of 81 times per year for more than a decade.
When the Hall of Famers walked onto the field, minus Stan Musial, a note about one really stood out to me.
Red Schoendeinst, who has done just about everything possible within the Cardinals organization, received his 7th championship ring. Given the sheer size of the things, I imagine if he tried to carry them all at once he would wind up with back problems.
At 89, Red still dresses out on most days and takes to the field with the team he has been a part of for now 67 years. Watching Red walk out onto the field is like a quick glimpse at the deep history of one of the most storied franchises in sports. During the World Series you could find Red, complete with Jersey, pants, cleats and high-rise red stirrup socks on the field. Not sitting in a luxury box in a suit and tie - no offense intended to those guys - buut with his feet in the grass often talking to Mark McGwire or some of the younger guys on the team.
He never hesitated to stop by and chat with the media or whoever else was floating around.
The only opportunity I had to speak with him was when he arose from the dugout before Game 6. As he walked out, stopping for a couple of quick television interviews, he carried his bat on his shoulder and was walking past me when I said "Hello, Mr. Schoendienst." I felt like a man with his experience deserved a "Mr."
He smiled his small smile and patted me on the should and said simply, "Hello young man. Call me Red." He then went on to the backstop to watch the young guys take their pre-game hacks and offer his opinion.
I've never spoken to him otherwise, but that two second conversation will always be a special memory to me.

The one time I meet Red was outside the stadium getting autographs. With everyone crowded around him I remember him saying, "You damm kids." Keep in mind most of us around are in our 20's, but to him we are kids. I always get a laugh thinking about that story.

In short: Good friendly scenic race. Def do it again.Date of review: April 24, 2009
In short: well organised race, well supported thoughout courseDate of review: March 29, 2009
In short: Excellent no nonsense raceIn full: Marshalling good, well organised, no problems with traffic blocking movement. Would prefer water bottles at stations however as light plastic cups half filled are mainly spilled as opposed to drunk. The kid with the jelly babies in Blackmore... thanks!Date of review: March 27, 2009
In short: good support around the courseDate of review: March 26, 2009
In short: great marshalls, nice scenery, fast run if you're a fast runner (which I'm not). Really enjoyed it and would run again. Date of review: March 26, 2009
In short: My first ever competitive run and due to the excellent atmosphere felt like I had been doing it for yearsIn full: It was the first race I had ever entered and was surprised when I arrived at how many people were there and that a band was on hand to lead the way. It was very pleasant with a good atmosphere and looked like a village scene from the olden days. I have to say the organisation was very good, the route very scenic, marshalls very encouraging (more so to the lovely ladies but who can blame them) and all runners seemed to be enjoying themself. Having never run before the only thing I couldn't understand was why some runners take a drink from the water station and then stop dead so you have no choice but to run into them and why some 'older gentlement' seemed to think it was OK to ride bikes whilst talking to runners and forcing me over the other side of the road to overtake. The locals and crowd were excellent and I thoroughly enjoyed myself, so much so that it has made me want to enter more races.Date of review: March 23, 2009
In short: Great raceIn full: Well organised event. Once out and about the villages were very nice and lots of local support. Route seemed nice and quick with no scary hills to worry about. One for the diary next year.Date of review: March 23, 2009
In short: My first 1/2 Marathon and I loved every minute of it.In full: I was quite nervous, my first race, my first 1/2 marathon. Not knowing what to expect when I arrived, I soon found the atmosphere and the organisation brilliant. Though my one small moan would be not enough loos.I found myself at the back of a long loo queue and had to literally sprint to the start line so not to miss the start of the race. The crowd and marshalls along the route were fantastic and great motivators. I had a huge smile on my face literally the whole 13.1 miles even up the 'hill' in the last 1/2 mile!!. Many thanks to the kids handing out jelly babies, sorry if I was rather clumsy in grabbing them as I ran past.In summary had a fantastic day and a fantastic run, finishing in under the 2 hrs 10 mins target I set myself. My first race was one I will certainly remember for years to come, and I hope there will be many more to add. A big thank you to all the organisers and see you again next year!!Date of review: March 20, 2009
In short: excellent, well organised, good support and a nice courseDate of review: March 20, 2009
In short: lovely course and plenty of inclinesIn full: would def. prefer water bottles to plastic cups (half-full)nice touch with the marching band parading runners to the start line!Date of review: March 19, 2009

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (80 votes).
In short: Car parking! It was miles away....Date of review: October 14, 2012
In short: This is my fourth yearIn full: I have been critical over the few years i ve done this race collecting numbers with the big queues,medals same as the year before with no dates on them ect,but this year there was no problem collecting numbers,Ok the walk to fetch the number and chip this year was a decent warm up to begin with ,but i decided along with my wife to strip off at the car luckly.The problem with putting the start well away from everthing is nobody even knows there a race on and as such there was very little support.Even my family had trouble finding it.that said i enjoyed the new course and will do it again next year and thankyou to all the marshalls shouted encouragement Date of review: October 8, 2012
In short: 5 mins from the car park to the start/registration area?? WHAT BY CONCORD???Date of review: October 7, 2012
In short: Poor start line planningIn full: Never moaned before but organisation to get to the start line was poor. No signs on the road around Clumber Park until virtualy at the car park. Car park over a mile away from start line so no chance to go back to car if forgot something. Once under way was a nice race but presentation so late hardly anyone stayed.Date of review: October 7, 2012
In short: I like Clumber, I liked the new courseIn full: What t shirts ? We certainly weren't offered any. The goody bag wasnt in a bag but like a Crackerjack armful ( note age of runner ). The instructions with distance from car park were a down right lie. It was never 5 minutes to the old registration point this time more like 15. Black marks for One Step Beyond all roundDate of review: October 6, 2012
In short: Beautiful sceneryIn full: This was my first Clumber 10k trail run and I was a bit apprehensive due to the recent weather, but other than a couple of muddy spots I needn't have worried. Friendly staff ensured that this went off without a hitch although as other reviewers have mentioned it was a bit of a trek from the carpark to the registration area/start line. However that shouldn't detract from a in places challenging course through stunning scenery.Date of review: October 6, 2012
In short: Good race..In full: Great race, course changed for previous years yet that's the challenge, great marshalls and staff.. Great timing you can print your time of at the end!Cons.. Car park was or seemed a long way from race..not good!! Overall a great race from OSB.. Date of review: October 6, 2012
In short: New course, still great scenary, good atmosphereIn full: I'm a keen fan of the Clumber 10km and take part each year. This 'new course' is trickier than it let's on. The constant undulations carry you along nicely but do eventually slow you down in places. I have to say I still love it but stood no chance of setting a PB so will try next year. I did forget my goody bag and t-shirt :( I wasn't sure where they were it didn't help that I was quite tired! My only negative is the walk from the car to the start...quite a way and a few runners were late starting because if it. Not what you want in a race!Date of review: October 6, 2012
In short: Worthwhile with a professional feelIn full: A great race especailly for first timers, offers good experience with hills and sharp bends. No real problems excellent for PB i smashed my previous by 5 minutes so I was very pleased! Marshalls were helpful and positive. My only concerns were the water points my partner felt it came to soon for him whereas I would have preferred another around the 7.5 mark and had 2. I quite liked the goody bag I wasn't expecting one at all and I love the t-shirts! I wasn't at all bothered that it cost 2 raffle tickets they are good quality shirts :) Definately worth keeping on the calender, just be aware of the need to turn up early to collect race number and chip don't leave it to late or you'll be rushing around Date of review: October 12, 2009
In short: Improvement on last yearIn full: They seem to have learnt lessons with the organisation at the start and finish however it was a very early start to collect race numbers at 8.30. I think when you enter in plenty of time numbers should be posted. Nice momento though instead of a t shirtDate of review: October 3, 2009

PETA is calling on the Ministry of Defence (MoD) to stop using bear pelts to make headpieces for the five guards regiments and to have the hats fashioned from luxurious faux fur instead.
Bears are cruelly killed for their hides; they are either shot during hunts or ensnared, possibly for days, in painful traps. During hunts, as many as one bear in seven is not killed immediately after being shot, and some escape wounded, possibly dying later from blood loss or starvation. In some Canadian provinces, there are no restrictions on the shooting of mothers who have nursing cubs, leading to the slaughter of entire families during hunts.
For nearly two centuries, the MoD has waged a war on black bears while doing nothing to further the search for synthetic materials. In fact, when it was presented with high-tech synthetic materials by PETA - sourced from leading faux-fur manufacturers around the world and made to the MoD's own specifications - the MoD was quick to make negative comments about the faux fur, saying that it "lacks life" and "doesn't bounce back".
Instead of financially supporting the shameful slaughter of black bears, Great Britain should set a compassionate example by switching to a humane and progressive alternative and committing to stopping the killing.
Please watch the video that shows the true colours of the bear-skin industry then sign the petition calling on the MoD to ditch the bearskin caps.

I attended Games for Change 2010 in NYC in May. I was really excited to meet Bill O'Brien, Senior Advisor for Program Innovation, National Endowment for the Arts. How about that? The NEA is interested in Video Games, so they must be art, right?
I think of video games as art. I always have. Video games make me think and feel and someone made it. Art. The art is in the fact that video games affect our thinking, affect our way of looking at the world, the affect us in a way a conversation with another human being may affect us. This is because art is a way for one human to contrive a way for another human being to have an experience, even when the two humans will never meet.
I wrote to Bill O'Bien at the NEA and told him how I thought of art. And I wanted to share it here, because I believe that considering video games as means of affecting the mind of the player may make it more clear that video games can open worlds the same way books, paintings and conversations can.
I am sure someone else defined art this way before me, I don't know who. Tom Bissell just published a terrific new book called Extra Lives. I haven't finished it yet, so I thought I would tell you how *I* would judge video games and we'll see how Tom Bissell does it. OK, here goes.
Video games are essays. Video games are written by an author who, like the essay's author, is not present when the game is played. Therefore, the game and the essay must be self contained. An essay is designed to make the reader think or feel something, and this is why we call it art. An essay may make me weep and may make me laugh, it's that change in my thinking that we recognize as art.
Video games are museum installations. A video game is made to interact with the player just like an art installation interacts with the audience. Perhaps the pieces are arranged in a certain order, so that people walking by in the museum are sure to see the pictures in the right order. Or, the author may allow the audience to walk around as they see fit. Video games engage in this kind of manipulation of what the audience sees and in which order. Some games are more free form, and others are more linear, just like installations in a museum.
Video games are stories. And just like many stories, they often effect our thinking. After reading a story, we sometimes see the real world around us from the point of view of characters in the story. As Wayne Booth wrote in The Company We Keep: An Ethics of Fiction the characters, occurrences and narration of novels affect our thinking even after we finish the book. Additionally, Booth writes that racism can be presented in a book, like Huckleberry Finn, but the book is not condoning racism, because the characters which we respect in the book do not condone racism. Many games, even some ridiculously violent ones, contain stories that make the audience think about the consequences of their actions. Often the story frames the violence in a way that makes it clear that horrible circumstances are driving the player to make terrible choices. Bioshock and God of War both contain stories that explain why the player commits the violence, and leaves space for the player to feel remorse and consider the horrible consequences. So just like any other piece of fiction, the player identifies with a character in the game, and the way the story is told speaks to the ethics of the fiction.
I think it is clear that video games are art, because they are attempts to convey emotion and thoughts from one human to another using device created by the author and which the audience interacts with independently. The quality and worth of video games can be judged by the same standards we already use for essays, fiction, and museum installations.
This email is not an elegant or comprehensive description of all the ways video games are art, nor all the criteria that we can use to appraise them. I just wanted to get across the point that video games create an experience for their players and this entire experience is the work of art. While video game graphics can be art on their own, even simplistic or otherwise unpleasant or meaningless graphics can be art in the context of their video game because of how they contribute to the experience for the player.

Even with regular use of an observational scale to assess pain among nursing home residents with dementia, pain-relieving interventions are not frequently used

Implications for practice and research
Observational behavioural tools often fail to identify pain among people with dementia, rendering their utility to clinical practice questionable.
Caregivers used strategies such as redirecting rather than analgesic medication.
Further research is needed to explore the most effective strategies for decreasing pain in this context. This likely includes using different assessment strategies, different treatment protocols and staff mentoring.
The underdetection of pain in people with dementia is commonplace1 resulting in reduced quality of life and increased behaviour problems. Research has shown that pain can be detected and effectively treated in nursing home residents with dementia,2 ,3 reducing behaviour problems …

About the Author: Ann Stock is the Assistant Secretary of State for the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.
Last week, 418 Fulbright Foreign Language Teaching Assistants packed the Dean Acheson Auditorium at the U.S. Department of State for their mid-year seminar. They hail from 49 countries and are teaching 31 languages at 230 colleges and universities in 48 states and the District of Columbia. The event was designed to help Fulbrighters share insights and anecdotes after their first semester of teaching in the United States.
I started a conversation with this energized group a week earlier on Twitter and it continued at our town-hall style discussion. Earlier that day, I met with the first six FLTAs from each region who tweeted me with a question or story about their experience in the United States. They are from China, France, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, and Tunisia and each Fulbrighter added a unique perspective to this program.
And you could hear 418 voices filled with surprise as Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton entered the room to thank this incredibly inspiring group for their commitment to creating mutual understanding.
These citizen diplomats teach English to scores of young people in their own country. Under the Fulbright Program, which is the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs' flagship international educational exchange, they travel to the United States for an academic year to teach their native languages to U.S. students, strengthen their English-speaking skills, learn about American culture, and share their culture and language with their American counterparts. At the conclusion of the school year, our FLTAs head home armed with new experiences and a stronger understanding of the English language to share in their classrooms and communities.
Check out Secretary Clinton's remarks to the Fulbright Foreign Language Teaching Assistantshere.

Topic: Better Communication Between Apps
I have two apps running on different subdomains. I would like to know the best way to have them talk to each other. More precisely though, I just want to have in the sidebar of each app and list of recent posts in the other app. Each app has an xml feed with recent updates, but I am curious about the best way of parsing those xml files and building it in the other app. I am currently using feedTools with MySQL and it works fine, but it slows down the app once an hour as it has to recache the feed. Is there another way to do this that might not have the same lag? maybe by js?
I have also experimented with Feedburner's buzz boost service (http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/buzzboost/howto) and it is zippy, but I am concerned about forking over a pretty major bit of my site's functioning to a third party (though i haven't noticed any feedburner outages to this point). I also can't imagine that search engines will have much success browsing the site.
Any thoughts will help enormously. Thanks.

General purpose computing on graphics processing units (GPGPU) is a highly-discussed topic these days. Thanks to multi-core architecture, GPUs can process multi-threaded tasks much more rapidly than central processing units. But while GPGPU technologies provide a number of benefits, they can also harm in case GPUs execute malicious code. Intel Corp. believes that GPU viruses are about to emerge and is taking steps to ensure that its forthcoming Larrabee is secure enough.
"Without any doubts, as graphics processors get more complex, the question of security will become more and more significant and, perhaps, we will witness the first viruses for the GPU. This is why we are carefully studying all the possibilities to ensure [appropriate] security with Larrabee, both on API and on driver levels," said Philipp Gerasimov, a software development relations specialist at Intel, during a public discussion of Larrabee at Russian-language Habrahabr web-site.
At present graphics cards cannot delete or infect files on personal computers or steal confidential data due to limitations of driver models. Still, as GPUs are gaining functionality these days (e.g., Nvidia recently announced that its GeForce chips will be able to accelerate playback of flash-based content), sooner or later hackers will find ways to use those capabilities in a harmful way. Moreover, since Intel's Larrabee is x86 compatible, whereas Nvidia promises to run C++ or Fortran code on its next-generation GPUs, developers of viruses are getting a whole new set of opportunities.
But GPGPU viruses should not be overestimated. Even though GPUs will be able to execute malicious programs (in fact, certain combinations of shaders can damage graphics chips that are not properly cooled down), there will always be a much more keen executor of harmful programs: the microprocessor, which will still be inside every personal computer.

The development of industry-compatible test methods
1937 during the examination of magnetic properties of metals, Friedrich Förster discovered the influence of the Earth's magnetic field on the test coil of the test equipment. He started with the development of highly sensitive measuring equipment for magnetic fields.
1948 the visionary founded his own company and looked for opportunities for the implementation of his results from the scientific work at the Kaiser-Wilhelm Institute.
His objective: The development of industry-compatible apparatus.
The scientific basis of the electromagnetic test methods was developed in the 1950s. Dr. Friedrich Förster received the Victor de Forest Award for this in 1957. The method was published by Robert C. McMaster / USA in 1959 in the standard work of the non-destructive testing methods.
1963 the first magnetic field measuring equipment from FOERSTER was installed in a satellite. Mariner II is researching, amongst other things, the magnetic field of the planet Venus with this. Further measuring equipment for space travel followed later, e.g. for the precise alignment of the ROSAT ROentgen SATellite (X-ray observatory). There is even a FOERSTER probe on the moon. Prof. Friedrich Förster received the highest distinction of NASA in 1992 for his work.
Out into the world
Martin Förster further expanded the success of the family company. He recognised the opportunities of globalisation early and ensured a worldwide presence with the founding of subsidiaries.
The third generation company has been managed for some years by Dipl.-Kaufmann Felix Förster.

Very good location, close to theater district, high line, several subway lines.....rooms were as expected but sofa bed not. Arrangements to get into the apartment OK. Thanks Mo.
This property needs a bit of work. Good location
Apartment is in a good location. It is a bit small or much smaller than it looks like on photos. The service of the owners is horrible. They didn't have extra keys for us, once they brought it three days later they were wrong so I was stuck in the middle of the night without keys to enter the apartment. Plus the servicemen were giving us attitude. Need a lesson in hospitality business.
More or less as expected. Opening hours are not long. Normally closes at 6pm. Extra chrages for weekends (40$) which can not be avoided.
Location of the aprtment is E 52nd and 2 Ave. Good Midtown location close to UN headquarters and many financial institutions. Quiet neighbourhood.
Arpartment has some minor problems. Window in the kitchen can not be opened. Dishwasher was broken.
Wimdu customer service was excellent. The host took a long time (worryingly so) to get in touch but the key pick up and service at the office was easy enough but it's 24 blocks south of the apartment. The apartment itself is in need of redecorating or the photos updating. The plug sockets in the kitchen trip out so we had to plug the kettle in under the dining area table! Bedsheets were old and one of my friends found a hair in the bed before she had slept in it :-( location perfect and close to delis bars restaurants and Starbucks. Water always hot for showers. Bath mat and spares would have been helpful having 7 people for one bathroom
I really liked the place I selected. HOWEVER, On the day before we flew I was informed by "Mo" that the place I selected and paid for was "unavailable". He gave me the option of a VERY DIRTY APARTMENT THAT BASICALLY SUCKED ASS. There was mildew all over the bathroom. It was as if it had never been cleaned. I was there for 10 days and didn't feel clean once the entire time. There was space for six really dirty people to sleep, but GUESS WHAT? There are only two of us!!! So all the space was wasted. The TV service didn't work at all and yes, I was in NYC, but there are times I need to look at the news to see what's happening. THAT wasn't possible. There was crap left from previous tenants and I suppose from the owners of this dump. IT WAS BAIT AND SWITCH!!! I frikking hated every second I was in this stupid disease ridden dump.
The neighbourhood was alright and the apartment was fine as well, apart from one of the beds that almost fell apart. The biggest disappointment was that internet never worked, though we called them every day and were promised that it would be fixed immediately! Besides that the host "Mo" was very slow to respond to any issues. Not at all pleased with this stay!
The location was great. Near Central Park and the subway just a few blocks away. The appartment was clean and the beds made. Very nice place to stay.
all perfect very recomendable
This appartment was perfect for us, 9 girls on holiday! We had the best time in NY staying in this fantastic appartment with great location! It was clean, good space and nicely decorated. We can recommend this for everybody, specially larger groups.

And here is this one... WWW crust, teriyaki sauce, Swiss chard, mushroom and green bell pepper toppings. No cheese, no meat like things
Tom,That pizza looks like it should be both tasty and good for you. Did you use a whole wheat PJ same day clone dough for the pizza? I would think it would be a good match for the toppings you used.Peter
You've got to be kidding me. Your boring description sounds NOTHING like that beautiful pie in the picture!! Let me help you...Steelplayer's tender golden, browned crust, brushed with home-made teriyaki sauce and topped generously in the vegan way, with fresh Swiss chard, white mushrooms and perfectly ripened green bell peppers.Damn me, I'd pay 3500yen($37 U.S.) for that right now being that my oven is cold and I have no dough on hand.
Looks good, but i wouldn't put so much on the pie, less is more
