Great show! I vote for me to be the next host.
Nobody does it like Clark Kent.
You rock!
It is such a big pleasure for us to see you over there, and giving us fantastic energy! Keep going, keep shouting, keep enjoying!
Windows Phone article is strange. Because WinPh8 will be on Qualcomm CPU anyway. So, of course it will be binary compatible as long as WinNT offer same APIs as WinCE. No need for emulation at all. I am not even sure why this has to be asked or speculated. Did I miss-understood something?
Laura you are cute :)
Well, not only will we have swarms of robots working together to overthrow us it also looks like there are no more hiding spots thanks to their advanced mapping :/
Time to get working on those EMP guns.
Halo Tournament? Or are you guys waiting for Halo 4 to come out?
A great show! It's really nice to watch you two together... no other show on Ch9 has this energy.
Keep up the good work.

Well at least It'll all end on a happy note then, we can play Halo 4 until it all goes black
I've been using Windows 8 as my primary OS for about a month now. I started with the Developer Preview, and had a few issues that I just didn't like. However, I can say that since downloading the Consumer Preview, I have been completely blown away and I'm sold on it. Great job, Microsoft!
You know what is going to be great about Windows 8? On Launch day, the video is going to be streamed live. Single best thing Microsoft does that it's competitors don't.
Laura ROCKS. No one can replace her. I eat this choco-chip cookie in her honor.
Best show ever!! You guys are like wine, the older the show gets THE BETTER!!!
Nom, Nom, Nom. Old is Gold. I miss Laura and Paul. I hope the next episode is full of milk and cookies. Come back soon!
Great show!
Laura love you, you are rock.

Hey fellow pizza makers and explorers!I've been making pizza on the grill (Jenn-Air) using standard 16x16 tlles from Home Depot. Mostly good results, but the pizzas do often get burnt on the bottom and the tiles break after a few uses due to liquid dripping on them.I'm looking to re-do my approach and have been considering the following:1) Using my outdoor NG grill as I have been doing, but using a thick (at least 5/8 cordierite kiln shelf probably 16x16). My grill can get to about 650+ temp.2) Bosch double oven. Adding a cordierite kiln shelf to it and perhaps using it on convection.I prefer a crispy bottom with a browning and even a few small burn marks - almost Naples style.Thoughts? Recommendations on which approach? Also, if you'd recommend a different surface (say iron or rolled steel) let me know.
Mark, considering all the time you're putting into getting the right grill setup, you really shouldn't be cutting any corners when it comes to the dough. Get a digital scale and work with a real NY style pizzza dough recipe.And you may not want to go through so much trouble partially blocking the IR. If the IR is burning the pizza before the bottom is down, just turn it on for only part of the bake.
switch, I see your stated you have two 16x20 tiles for the Jenn-Air. I take it the 20 goes the length of the grill and the 16 is the width or from back to front. So I have a couple more questions -1) What size pizzas do you end up making? I mean diameter. I THINK THEY END UP BEING ABOUT 12-14 INCHES. SOMETHING THAT WOULD FIT ON A TRADITIONAL ITALIAN PIZZA PLATTER. SOMETIMES THOUGH I DO MAKE THEM MORE RECTANGULAR WHEN FEEDING MORE THAN 2 PEEPS.2) Does the stone run from the back to the front without any open space or do you have an inch open space between the front of the tile and the front of the grill or an inch of space between the back of the tile and the back of the grill where the infrared is? Could be more or less than an inch but trying to figure out how much space if any do you have or if it covers the entire width of the grill from the front to the back with just the sides being open in order for air flow to occur.I HAVE OPEN SPACE. ABOUT 2 1/2 INCHES BEHIND AND 1 1/2 INCHES IN THE FRONT (SO THE TOP GOES DOWN). Airflow is all around but much tighter in front/back.I think I'll be making a pizza tomorrow, and will post a pic.Also, btw - I don't know if anyone else does this but before I place the pizza on the stone, I place it on a double sheet of aluminum fool. The heat from the stone goes through it immediately and then it makes it a snap to put on and off (I haven't been able to master the art of peeling the pizza on/off the best yet.Thanks

Wineke: GOP bullies turn out to be weak
My real question is: Why did the Republicans in the House of Representatives think they could get away with it?
Why did they shut down the government for no reason? Did they really think President Obama was going to gut his health-care law, the law that will guarantee his place in history, the law that Democrats have been trying to enact for almost a century?
Why did they think they could shut down the government, causing untold misery for millions of Americans, and not pay a price?
My guess is that there is a certain faction of the party that truly believes Obama is weak. They look at his past record of compromise and see it as a sign of weakness.
Bullies always despise those who don't stand up to them and these Tea Party champions are bullies.
The problem with their position is that Obama is not weak. If you look at his record of achievement, it is pretty incredible. He ended the recession, rebuilt the economy, established a new relationship with gay and lesbian Americans and, most monumental, passed a law giving new health care security to millions who previously didn't have it.
He did so in the face of unrelenting hostility from Republicans. The very night he was inaugurated, a group of prominent conservatives, including our own Paul Ryan, met to discuss ways to make him a failure. There wasn't even any legislation for them to oppose; they just wanted to destroy his presidency.
It didn't work, obviously. It damaged the country by making recovery from the recession slower and less effective than it might otherwise have been. But, Obama was reelected. What the Ryan effort did accomplish, however, was a Republican takeover in 2010. And what it did accomplish was the birth of the Tea Party. Now, the Tea Party threatens to destroy the GOP.
It goaded Speaker John Boehner into abandoning an agreement to fund the government at a level even lower than that Ryan proposed a year ago. It insisted that any Republican unwilling to close the government could kiss his future goodbye.
It has identified the Republican Party with those who won't accept the scientific consensus on climate change, with those who would prohibit abortion, even to women who are raped, with those who would deny food stamps to hungry Americans and medical care to poor Americans.
But the biggest damage the Tea Party did to Republicans was to convince them President Obama was weak.
Compromise is not a sign of weakness. It is a bargaining technique. You compromise in order to get as much of your program enacted as you can.
Obama didn't want a government shutdown – no matter how it turns out, it will have harmed our economy. He agreed to vastly inadequate funding for the federal government because he thought it would avert a shutdown.
But, when it didn't, he had nothing left to give.
And, as it turned out, those who opposed him had no real program in mind. First, they insisted he abandon health care. Now, they're talking about reimposing the Ryan budget that was rejected in last year's election. They don't even know what they want.
Except to avoid being humiliated in public.
That's the problem with bullies. They turn out to be weak.

China Trip Planning—Is this Trip Right for You?
Most westerners travel to China only once in their lifetime. China Spree want to ensure you have all the resources in planning your dream vacation. Please read the following information regarding the level of activity you can expect, your physical requirements, trip destination information, tour pacing and meal arrangements specific to this China trip.
Physical Requirements:
This adventure is only for physically fit and healthy travelers and is not appropriate for travelers using wheelchairs, walkers, or other mobility aids. You must be able to walk approximately 2-3 miles unassisted, to participate in 4-6 hours of physical activities each day, and to tolerate 3 full days at altitudes of 12,000 feet (3,700 meter). Check with your doctor to determine your tolerance for high altitudes.
High Altitude
Our trip includes 3-night stay in Tibet at an altitude of 12,000 feet (3,700 meter). At this altitude, almost everyone feels some of the symptoms of Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS). These symptoms include headache, nausea, loss of appetite, trouble with sleep, and lack of energy. Talk with your doctor about any medical condition you have, particularly cardiac or respiratory disease or diabetes, and discuss the potential risk for your travel to that high altitude. Your doctor may recommend medication which can help prevent or treat AMS, especially if you are prone to altitude sickness or have not previously been to high altitudes.
Due to the high altitude level of Lhasa, and the potential complexities of health and safety concern - for your protection - you are required to buy sufficient travel medical insurance if your tour includes Tibet. Your China Spree tour guide reserves the right to modify your participation, or in some circumstances send travelers home, if their condition could adversely affect the health, safety, and enjoyment of themselves or of other travelers.
High Altitude of Tibet and possible mountain sickness:
1) High Altitude of Tibet
This tour itinerary includes a 3-night stay in Tibet at an altitude of 12,000 feet. Discuss with your doctor medication to alleviate altitude sickness, especially if you are prone to altitude sickness or have not previously been to high altitudes. At this altitude, almost everyone feels some of the symptoms of Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS). These symptoms include headache, dizziness, nausea, loss of appetite, trouble with sleep, and lack of energy. Talk to your doctor about whether the trip to Tibet is advisable for you and if you should obtain a prescription medication, which can help prevent or treat AMS. Medication to reduce mountain sickness may be advised by your physician and is strongly recommended for a Tibet tour. While you are in Tibet, you must move at a very slow pace.
Catching a cold or cough in Tibet may cause very serious consequences, or even lead to death. If you catch a cold or cough prior to Tibet, you must notify your tour guide or our China representatives (see "Contact Information" page of your booklet) to cancel the Tibet portion of your trip because of these very serious consequences. If you catch a cold or cough while in Tibet, you also need to notify your guide so we can evacuate you out of Tibet in a timely manner, at your own cost.
2) Medical Checkup
We strongly recommend that you have a medical checkup before you take the tour to Tibet (or other destinations with high altitude). This is a must if you have any medical conditions or physical limitations. Let your doctor know about any medical condition you have, particularly cardiac or respiratory disease or diabetes, and discuss the potential risk for travel to that high altitude (12,000 feet). The hospitals and medical facilities in Tibet are relatively primitive and may not be able to handle your medical condition.
Tibet Permit:
Besides a visa to China, foreigners are required to obtain a Tibet Permit prior to enter Tibet. If you book this China and Tibet tour, China Spree will take care of your Tibet Permit via our Tibetan agency after your China visa is approved.
Please note: Because of the controversial and sensitive nature of Tibet issue, the Chinese and Tibetan authorities may occasionally restrict foreigners to enter Tibet without prior notice. The record shows that the restrictions mostly happened in the months of March and June when there are major Tibetan holidays, but may be extended to longer period of time. Should this occur during your trip, China Spree will make alternative arrangements for your group to travel to the historic Lijiang, in China's Yunnan Province instead. Over 80% of travelers who have taken this adventure with the Lijiang itinerary have rated their trip excellent. The Chinese government may also impose limits on what can and cannot be accessed within Tibet, so there may be need for last-minute changes to the planned activities during your trip. In these cases we ask that you bring an open mind and a sense of humor.
Climate & Terrain:
Read more about the climate of cities on this China tour.
China Visa Required:
U.S. and Canadian citizens traveling to China must have a valid passport and a visa obtained prior to entering the country. Please read Passport & China Visa for the complete information including answers to ALL your questions about VISA to China. Download China Visa Instructions.
Flight Schedule:
This China and Tibet tour package comprises of air travel segments using commercial flights with airlines, such as Air China. This is NOT a chartered flight and therefore the passage contract and your air tickets, once issued, shall constitute the sole agreements between you and the airline(s), and are subject to terms and conditions specified by the airlines.Please download Flight Schedule, and make sure to read All About Flights section for further information of baggage allowance, mileage, and seating & dietary request, etc. Also read more about Air Travel and Frequently Asked Questions.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Why have some of the meals been taken out of tours?
It is very important to us to ensure that you get the best value for your dollar without sacrificing service or convenience. Most of the meals that were taken out of the itineraries were "in-flight" meals. We have found that recently many of the airlines, in an effort to save money, no longer offer meals and are only offering a snack. In order for us to maintain the included meals for clients, we are required to give up precious time out of touring to ensure the group has a meal. The best answer to that was to give clients the opportunity to decide what they would like to eat on those days, giving you flexibility without taking time away from your touring. Also, we received feedback from past clients who said that after many days eating with the group some people would prefer to eat on their own. Clients now have a choice on those days as to where and what to eat and whether they would like to eat alone or with fellow travelers. We have ensured that when meals are not offered, the guide will suggest a place to eat that will satisfy the individual client's needs for that day. This also allows us to put your money toward improved included meals, ensuring you get the best experience for your money.
Document Delivery:
Your final travel documents will be sent to you about 2 weeks prior to departure. If passports are included, then a signature will be required upon delivery. In the packet, you will find your air itinerary with your electronic air ticket number (e-ticket), the final tour itinerary, Know Before You Go, China hotel and emergency contact, and other important information for your China tour. If your address is a PO Box, then we must send your package via the US Postal Service. Note: the documents for all travelers registered in the same reservation form will be sent to that address unless we are notified otherwise. You can change your mailing address in the Member Area up to 30 days prior to your tour departure. Once the documents are sent it is impossible for China Spree to reroute it to a different address. Prior to delivery, you will receive an email notice with shipment tracking information. Documents delivered to outside the continental U.S. (including Alaska and Hawaii) will incur an additional delivery charge of $40 if sent by courier service.
Other Travel Options:
Want to see more of China? Consider the following tours you might like:* 22-Day Imperial China, Tibet & Hong Kong, including Guilin, Longsheng's Dragon Spine Terraces, and 3-night at Hong Kong.
A shorter version of this tour is available:

After two years of development, Hitachi Global Storage Technologies (Hitachi GST) has unveiled two families of its enterprise-grade solid-state drives. The novelties feature Serial Attached SCSI or Fibre-Channel interfaces and will be solely aimed at the markets that seek for maximum reliability and performance. The SSDs were jointly developed by Hitachi, Intel and Micron.
"Hitachi's strategic investment and commitment in the enterprise market is evident with the new Ultrastar SSD family. Our new SSD product family not only symbolizes our market opportunity to serve evolving cloud data center infrastructures, but also delivers value to our customers in terms of increasing data center performance and reducing total cost of ownership," said Mike Cordano, executive vice president of worldwide sales and marketing at Hitachi GST.
The new Ultrastar SSD400S family comes in 100GB, 200GB and 400GB capacities, featuring both 2.5" SAS 6Gb/s and 3.5" 4Gb/s Fibre Channel (FC) interfaces. The drives are based on single-level cell (SLC) NAND flash memory produced using 34nm process technology at IM Flash and is powered by controllers developed by Intel.
The new Ultrastar SSD400S family delivers the industry's highest sequential throughput. It is the first to reach up to 535MB/s read and 500MB/s write throughput with 6Gb/s SAS, and 390MB/s read and 340MB/s write throughput with 4Gb/s FC. The new drive also delivers up to 46 000 read and 13 000 sustained write IOPS, reaching speeds 100 times faster than traditional hard drives. As fewer SSDs are required to achieve the same HDD ultra-high performance, the new Ultrastar SSD400S family offers significant value in terms of IOPS per Watt, while reducing TCO through low power consumption, efficient cooling and reduced space requirements.
Working in collaboration with Intel, the Ultrastar SSD400S family combines enterprise-grade NAND flash, proprietary endurance firmware and power loss management techniques to extend the reliability, endurance and sustained performance of the new SSD family. The 400GB SSD can endure up to 35 petabytes (PB) of random writes over the life of the drive, which is the equivalent of writing 19.2TB/day for five years, ensuring greater utilization and reliability in the most demanding enterprise environments. For complete end-to-end data protection and reliability, the Ultrastar SSD400S family includes advanced data integrity and power loss management technologies that are tied with industry standards to ensure compatibility in multi-tiered SSD/HDD system designs.
The enterprise SSD market is growing at an estimated 73% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2009-2014. Social networks, mobile applications, web TV, online video services and new tablet-like devices – all operating in the cloud – are fueling the need for faster storage solutions and improvements in high throughput and I/O performance so data can be delivered to consumers with virtually no latency. Meanwhile, data centers are pushing the boundaries to make storage more efficient, from reducing floor space, power and cooling to leveraging next-generation technologies, like virtualization, deduplication and thin provisioning. All of this is causing a shift in how today's IT managers are building tomorrow's data centers.
Hitachi understands enterprise storage needs – from controllers, firmware, BIOS and operating systems (OS). With a global Systems Integration Technology Lab (SIT Lab), Hitachi works to ensure compatibility and ease of integration into new or existing tier 0 enterprise storage systems and designs. This makes it easier to bring products to market more quickly and cost-effectively. With this level of commitment, the Ultrastar SSD family has been and continues to be rigorously tested in dozens of OEM system platforms across nearly a hundred configurations resulting in millions of drive hours under test.
"We have a strong track record of working with global enterprise customers and are proud to report favorable responses to the Ultrastar SSD400S family. With qualifications now underway, we anticipate volume shipments to commence in the first half of 2011." said Mr. Cordano.
Hitachi GST has already shipped and is currently qualifying its Ultrastar SSD400S drives with select OEMs. Broader qualification samples are now available with product ramp scheduled in 2011. The Ultrastar SSD400S family is backed by a five-year limited warranty, or the maximum petabytes written (based on capacity).

Are you trying to find a way in the door to compete for brand dollars? As you've probably learned, you have plenty of company.
Few digital startups have the relationships in place to generate instant clients from major brands or agencies. It's a Catch-22 situation because these business owners need to demonstrate examples and case studies to get in the door, but they can't generate highly relevant examples and case studies without first getting in the door.
Here are five tips to help open the door and hopefully close
some early stage deals.
1. Try a partner approach.
Different brands and agencies have
different pain points. Research and network to find the brands that are suffering
heavily from issues that your product can solve. Then, reach out to them and tell
them you are currently screening for the right partner on a piece of technology
that solves these issues and you'd love to briefly discuss the potential to
work together on it. Be transparent and open, while maintaining a compelling
A successful partnership like this
generates 'buy-in' with the technology and you could find your solution shared
among other members of the agency or brand team as a result of a successful
initial test run.
2. Offer value in almost every exchange.
When you need to communicate with
agency or brand contacts, do your best to offer a link to an article or
resource that they would find informative and relevant to their day-to-day
challenges and objectives. Be sure to include a brief
statement about the content of the link and why you believe it's something they
would appreciate. This conditions your contacts to
view you as a helpful part of their day and as a great resource. Your emails
may be opened more often.
3. Avoid dry runs.
You should approach every
potential target with the objective of disqualifying them. Too often, effort is
wasted with parties that are not in the proper business cycle or have other
critical conflicts that immediately disqualify them as a potential client. Be
reasonably objective and make sure all signs point to a possible fit. Avoiding dry runs with these
candidates helps you stay focused on the places were your efforts could produce
4. Lead your presentation with value, not
credibility indicators.
Let me guess - after your title
slide is your agenda, followed by the company credentials and background. There
is a much better way to compose your presentation. Following your title slide, and
yes – before the agenda, feature a single slide showing results. When the
presentation begins, tell your audience you respect their time and want to get
right to the point to demonstrate exactly why this meeting matters.
When you switch to the second
slide, tell them that you like to lead with results, and here they are. As
they look at the slide, tell them that these are the results you produce for
clients. Obviously, depending on your offering
you may have to be creative with the visuals and stats on this slide. But, hey,
if you can't do this concisely you have a bigger problem than creativity and
should work on redefining your value proposition.
I've seen this approach energize
the room and make people put down their smartphones.
Regarding any background
information on your company – I recommend 10-20 seconds. Seriously. What you
should do is briefly state two or three key points and acknowledge that you
have a 'leave-behind' one-sheeter that provides all the details they need to
validate your background.
What you've just done is wake them
up with results, show them respect for their time and cleverly managed to
assure them that they will get all the info they need to validate you at their
leisure. Not a bad start for slide two.
5. Assume a 30-minute window.
If you are asking for more than 30
minutes, you are shrinking opportunities. In today's world 30 minutes is about
the maximum mental space most busy professionals can stomach when being asked
to discuss something new, and possibly irrelevant to their work.
If your presentation is longer
than 20 minutes – it's too long. Shoot for 10-20 minutes and leave yourself
time for questions and next steps at the end of the presentation. During the
presentation, do your best to keep the discussion open. Engage your audiences
with specific questions that show you've done your research on them, and get
them to participate. This keeps them attentive and active.
Another great benefit to the short
presentation is focus. If your platform or service offers multiple solutions,
make sure you are aware of exactly which solutions match the client's structure
and scenario – don't confuse them with a catalogue of overwhelming options to
choose from. When you do, you open the door for the client to delay next steps.
The barrage of options may confuse them, or they could just use the indecision
as a stall tactic in the closing process.
Integrate some of these tips into your current efforts. If
you've got the right product or service that genuinely performs, this should
help improve the results you are getting for your time and effort.

"Castle in the Park" at Deering Oaks Park in Portland, Maine. (photo: David LaCasse)
The holidays are over and there's no getting around the fact that it's January and bitter cold in the Upper Midwest. The days, while inching longer into light, are still short. Now is the time of deep winter, when a touch of light goes a long way.
Last week, as I caught a glimpse of holiday lights being dismantled from an indoor public tree display, I thought, "Already? It's not even New Year's. Now's the time when we need the light the most."
The good people of Portland, Maine understand this need in their watery bones. From Thanksgiving through Valentine's Day, the city is bedecked in glorious light sculptures designed by local artist Pandora LaCasse. For over a decade, Ms. LaCasse has been transforming public parks and buildings into canvases for her light art.
"Along the Pond" at Deering Oaks Park in Portland, Maine. (photo: David LaCasse)
Ms. LaCasse, a native of Maine, says that place matters in her work and that the state's landscape inspires her creativity. As she told one interviewer, "I'm always trying to get the essence of a place. I think people like the lights because it's the middle of winter and they respond to the color and light. And it's accessible."

"Cascading Spheres" adorn the face of the Maine College of Art in Portland, Maine. (photo: David LaCasse)
Ms. LaCasse's color-drenched creations feature abstract shapes found in nature, like teardrops and orbs. They're not the stuff of Santa, candy canes, and the nativity. I once lived in Maine and now make my home in Saint Paul, Minnesota where my neighbors festoon their homes with holiday lights. As much as I admire these wintry displays, I do so as a non-Christian outsider, who's observing them from afar. Pandora's lights were different. I could love them without feeling excluded. They were a balm for my soul in deep winter and I miss them.

Their distinct and irreverent brand of comedy quickly earned "The Kids in the Hall" a large cult following influencing a new generation of sketch comedy. In 1987, Lorne Michaels produced their first television special. By 1989, the troupe had their own series on the Canadian Broadcasting Co. and, later on HBO, where it aired until 1991. CBS and Comedy Central soon after picked it up, where it ran from 1992-1994. They crossed over into feature films with the 1995 release of Brain Candy for Paramount Pictures.
After the successful television run of Kids in the Hall, Dave signed onto the long running NBC series, Newsradio. In between seasons, he forged a feature film career that is still very active today. In addition to his comedic work, Foley has also been seen in HBO's critically-acclaimed mini-series From the Earth to the Moon. He also wrote and starred in the film The Wrong Guy which was released in Canada. In Addition, he also directed the Kids in The Hall documentary, Same Guys New Dresses, based on one of the group's recent tours.
Some of the many films Foley has starred in include Sky High, A Bug's Life, Toy Story 2, A Blast From the Past, South Park: Bigger and Longer, Cars, and Postal (now in post-production). Dave have been equally active on the television side, and has recently appeared on Will & Grace, Las Vegas, Joey, Lovespring International, Scrubs, Brother's & Sister's and he has also hosted multiple runs of Bravo's Celebrity Poker Showdown. . Look for Dave as a guest star in the first episode of Maron with Marc Maron.
Foley attributes most of his interest in the performing arts to such stellar role models as Frank Zappa, Jerry Lewis, The Marx Brothers, Buster Keaton and Monty Python.

Bullard on financial reform
Monday, October 12, 2009
James Bullard's official Federal Reserve portrait. Bullard, who is a 1984 graduate, spoke Oct. 9 in Atwood Theatre.
Financial institutions deemed "too big to fail" must be regulated to avoid financial crises, James Bullard told a packed Atwood Theatre audience Oct. 9.
"If you just let the large financial firms fail, as we learned last fall, panic ensues," said the president and CEO of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. "These firms are not necessarily banks. One of the big issues in this financial crisis has been the rise of the shadow banking system -- largely unregulated, much less regulated than your ordinary, corner bank."
The St. Cloud State graduate argued that financial reform should include regulation of systemic risk, a mechanism for shutting down failing financial firms and systems for global cooperation.
"Our reform efforts have to focus on getting this completely intolerable situation under control," Bullard said.
Bullard, who serves on the Federal Reserve's powerful Open Market Committee, suggested that the Federal Reserve is best suited to play a lead role in managing new financial regulatory systems.
"The Fed is the nation's lender of last resort. We've seen that in spades during this crisis," Bullard said. "If you're going to be lending in a crisis, I think you need to be involved in the regulatory structure in the non-crisis period so that you know what's going on in the financial systems, so that if the crisis comes, you know who to make the loan to, you know who's who."
The St. Louis bank is one of 12 regional banks in the Federal Reserve System, which regulates state-chartered member banks and bank holding companies, and provides payment services to financial institutions and the U.S. government.
Most importantly, the Fed formulates U.S. monetary policy.
"Because the natural information you get from the financial sector informs monetary policy decisionmaking, the Fed should have a big role in the regulatory structure," said Bullard.
Bullard's 35-minute presentation included an appraisal of the economy:
- This is the worst recession since the 1981-82, although unemployment may not reach that period's peak of 10.8 percent.
- Personal consumption has stabilized after plummeting in the wake of high oil prices and the September 2008 failure of Lehman Brothers and federal rescue of AIG.
- The housing market is ceasing to decline.
- The unemployment situation is severe, having roughly doubled from a pre-crisis rate of about 5 percent.
- The pace of job loss is easing.
- Turmoil in the financial markets has lessened.
- Inflation is well-contained, but because the Fed has more than doubled the money supply, there is a risk of future inflation.
"I think it's important to note inflation uncertainty is quite a bit higher than it has been at any time in the last 25 years," he said.
A Forest Lake, Minn. native, Bullard earned bachelor's degrees in economics and quantitative methods and information systems from St. Cloud State in 1984. His wife, Jane Callahan is a 1983 graduate with a bachelor's degree in political science.
Bullard came to campus through the Herberger College of Business Executive Leadership Speaker Series. His presentation was jointly sponsored by the Economics Department and College of Social Science.
St. Cloud State honored Bullard and eight others Oct. 9 with Alumni Awards. Bullard received the G.R. Herberger College of Business Leadership Award.

Crew Coaching Search Down To Finalists
The Columbus Dispatch - November 01, 2013 12:22 PM
Chicago's quick move to hire Frank Yallop as its coach surprised the Crew, but team president and general manager Mark McCullers said it has no impact on the club's ongoing search for its own coach.
"It doesn't impact our finalists," McCullers told The Dispatch last night. "Frank was not a finalist for us."
With a publicly stated goal of having a new coach hired by mid-November, McCullers said the Crew is on pace to reach that mark. Two weeks ago, McCullers said the Crew hoped to be down to six finalists by the end of this week.
Now, the Crew is set on its finalists but not divulging their quantity. According to Grant Wahl at Sports Illustrated, " a decision is expected in the next five days, and I'm told Gregg Berhalter's stock has been rising for the Crew job." McCullers said no new candidates have emerged in the last two weeks.
Technical director and interim coach Brian Bliss is one of the finalists, McCullers confirmed.
Crew investor-operator Anthony Precourt and McCullers have solicited input from club ambassador Frankie Hejduk and Andrew Arthurs, the executive director of Crew Juniors, throughout the process. The final decision will be made by Precourt and McCullers, however.
"The next step is to identify and agree upon a leading candidate and start work on a financial arrangement to see if we can come to an agreement with that leading candidate," McCullers said. "We still are utilizing Frankie and Andrew, but when we get into negotiation mode, which I think will be very soon, we'll narrow it down to me and Anthony at that point."

The beautifully kept Landgasthof Paulus stands close to the site of the Celtic circular wall in Nonnweiler, which was Europe's most significant fortification 2,500 years ago. Here, guests can savour top organic chef Sigrune Essenpreis's traditional dishes based on country gourmet cuisine along with fine wines from the well-stocked cellar. The Paulus also has a Wein & Genuss centre, which offers tutored sessions on matching wines with food.
Schlachthof Brasserie accommodates up to 70 diners in a former abattoir office building. There is the bistro area, the restaurant with beautiful art nouveau panelling and an adjoining room, with the option of dining in the mediterranean conservatory in warm weather. Alexander Glaw's team of chefs offer contemporary interpretations of French bistro classics and choice dry aged steaks. Fine wines are served by the glass.
The most discerning guests are enchanted by Victor's Residenz-Hotel Schloss Berg with its mediterranean villa and small Renaissance castle amid the vineyards of the Moselle – and even city types suddenly discover their love for country life. Where knights and noblewomen once feasted, today in Victor's gourmet restaurant, Michelin-starred chef Christian Bau dazzles his diners with new ideas, personal dedication and the highest quality standards.
Klaus Erfort's restaurant in Saarbrücken is housed in an elegant villa surrounded by a large, beautifully tended private English park. His food is not meant to be silently admired but to be discovered out of curiosity and the desire for pleasure. Erfort believes that the truth lies on the plate. His modern dishes are perfectly balanced creations with different flavours and textures blended together. His menus are complemented by a wine list of over 600 first-class wines.

Good day, everyone.
My Lagostina stainless steel pot really isn't cutting it, for three reasons: lousy pour, having to carry it from stove to tea table, and the constant threat of boiling the pot dry.
I've had my eye on some Kamjove kettles, but I've heard - anecdotally - that their quality can be spotty. A Teachat member posted photos of one with a disintegrating inner heating element after barely a year of use.
So I'll post my requirements, and hopefully clarity will soon follow.
1. Stainless steel. An absolute requirement on the inside, and preferably as much on the outside as possible. Is there a better material than this?
2. Size. It doesn't need to be big at all. Big enough for one or two people is fine. I can see that a lot of the Kamjove kettles are smaller anyway, which is good, I think.
3. I need the heating element to be on the outside, on the base. I *do not* want it on the inside of the kettle.
4. Auto shut-off (to prevent prolonged boiling/boiling dry.) Would be nice to have a feature that keeps the water warm or at a similar temperature.
5. A thin, well-made spout. I'm looking for a great, controlled pour, which would enable me to pour around the sides of a gaiwan.
6. I'm willing to pay more for quality. I'd like something that won't break/disintegrate/catch on fire/pose any health risk in less than two years. These things should last for years, anyway.
7. Style. I don't want it to look ugly. Some of those stainless steel Kamjove kettles look very stylish, not at all out of place alongside nice teaware.
8. Voltage/Power. I need it to work in USA/Canada.
9. Reliable retailer. If I'm to order this online (though I'd prefer to find one in person, locally) I'd like to order from a reputable retailer. I would not be thrilled to have to wait for the item forever due to laziness.
Thank you.

Nice history of the Barons: I was born in '64, so I don't remember the Barons well, glomming on to the Crusaders instead. (Of course, this means I went to about 8 games and remember one player, G. Cheevers.) My lasting memory of the Crusaders was:
1) Their preposterous song, "We're With You, Crusaders!" ("Every Step of the Way!")
2) My Dad trying to catch a puck that came rocketing over the glass: he missed the puck and kicked over his drink, then realized that had he actually made contact with the pick, he would likely have broken most of the small bones in his hand. Hockey pucks are hard and go very fast.
I still have a souvenir puck they gave out at the gate on night, though.
But really, I just wanted to say that I had no idea the Barons had such a rich history. Thanks, Greg.

USAV Beach High Performance Championships Results/Schedules
HERMOSA BEACH, Calif. (July 19, 2013) – Cameron Rodriguez is competing at the 2013 USA Volleyball Beach High Performance Championships (Beach HPC) in Hermosa Beach, Calif., nearly 3,000 miles away from where he began, literally and figuratively.
Rodriguez, 15, hails from Virginia, just north of Washington, D.C., and is one of the few East Coasters competing at the Beach HPC.
"It's interesting," Rodriguez said with a chuckle. "A lot of times people ask me, 'are you from California?' or, 'where do you train?' And I'm like, 'oh, I'm from Virginia,' and they don't know what to say. They're like, 'how do you even play volleyball?' "
| Cameron Rodriguez receives the ball at the USAV Beach HPCs.
Rodriguez began his beach volleyball career at Rehoboth Beach in Delaware, where his dad would play socially with his friends. But before Cameron was 10 years old, they wouldn't let him on the court.
"I wasn't good enough to play so they'd make me pass to myself and stuff because they didn't want me to ruin the game," Rodriguez said.
He didn't begin playing volleyball with kids his own age until he was 13, when his family found out about an indoor club team in the area. Unlike California, where volleyball opportunities are numerous, Rodriguez has to drive 45 minutes to get to practice.
"When we were talking to the club director at the time, he was like, 'I don't think you're going to make it. We have a really good team,' " Rodriguez said. "And then when I tried out I was just as good as everyone else."
Rodriguez prepared for his indoor volleyball debut by watching YouTube videos of Olympic matches at his dad's urging to get a sense of how top athletes play the game. He has made something of a habit of proving people wrong, and said his favorite volleyball memory was playing against 18-year-olds on his high school indoor club team.
"There were these two 6-foot-8 guys that played on the 18s team," Rodriguez said. "And on the first two plays, I hit around them both times. They were really surprised because, you know, they're huge. They didn't expect anything out of me. That was really confidence-boosting."
He plans to use some of that confidence at Beach HPC, where he is competing in the U19 division. Rodriguez said he was originally uncomfortable with the idea and thought he would have a better chance at medalling in the U17 division.
"I was really nervous the first couple points in the very first game, and we were down by a good bit but we started coming back," Rodriguez said. "I just need to get taller and jump higher."
Though he again finds himself playing against athletes that are older than he is, Rodriguez is now not only allowed on the court, but is more than holding his own.
He plans to continue playing volleyball in the future, ideally playing indoor for an NCAA Division I or II school in California and qualifying for the AVP Tour.
"That's my ultimate goal, to qualify for AVP. But that's about it," he said. "I don't want to get too serious and have unreasonable goals and lose sight of what I want out of the sport."

Many options for sorting
By jschalk
from Gurnee, IL
Comments about Learning Resources Sorting & Patterning Pocket Chart:
The pictures that come with this pocket chart were enjoyed by my class. We used the chart to practice sorting by colors. We completed a sorting by colors activity during circle time, and everyone was able to take a turn because there were enough pieces for each student. My only suggestion for improvement would be to expand the color choices.

John Cummins Delta—Richmond East, BC
Mr. Speaker, Canada has long been a world leader in the space industry and this government has maintained its commitment to the program.
Last year we saw Dr. Thirsk and Dr. Payette providing expertise and leadership aboard the international space station, essential components of which were manufactured in Canada by MacDonald, Dettwiler and Associates Ltd.
This year's budget committed $397 million to develop the RADARSAT Constellation mission.
Would the Minister of Industry inform the House of the crucial work that is being done by our Canadian Space Agency?

Tony Clement Minister of Industry
Mr. Speaker, the hon. member is indeed right. The budget did commit $397 million to develop the RADARSAT Constellation mission to continue the legacy in space that Canada has.
One of the astronauts who has done most particularly well is Dr. Robert Thirsk, the first Canadian to launch aboard a Russian Soyuz capsule and play an integral role on a six-month expedition at the international space station. With this mission he has surpassed the total number of days in space of all the other Canadian astronauts combined.
It is my pleasure to recognize the great accomplishments of Dr. Thirsk, a true Canadian hero.

Mario Silva Davenport, ON
Mr. Speaker, electric trains are the logical solution. People in the GTA are worried about how more diesel trains might affect their lives. This is not new technology, either. Electric trains are already used across Europe with great success.
I ask again, what is the minister and the government prepared to do to help Torontonians and the environment? Why are they not prepared to assist public transit agencies like Metrolinx electrify trains along this corridor?

Ottawa West—Nepean
John Baird Minister of Transport
Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the long-standing interest of my colleague from Davenport on this issue.
We worked constructively with the Province of Ontario and asked what its priorities were for federal investment. The province said it wanted us to invest in the Spadina subway extension. Done. It said it wanted us to invest in the Scarborough LRT. Done. It said it wanted us to make major investments in GO Transit. Done. It wanted us to get the job done in helping refurbish and expand Union Station in Toronto. Done.
We have had record investments in public transit and we have done it all in co-operation with Toronto and the Province of Ontario.

Admissibility of Amendments to Bill C-3—Speaker's Ruling
Points of Order
Oral Questions
3:05 p.m.
The Speaker Peter Milliken
I am now prepared to rule on the point of order raised by the Parliamentary Secretary to the Leader of the Government in the House of Commons on April 29, 2010 concerning amendments contained in the report from the Standing Committee on Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development on Bill C-3, An Act to promote gender equity in Indian registration by responding to the Court of Appeal for British Columbia decision in McIvor v. Canada (Registrar of Indian and Northern Affairs).
I would like to thank the parliamentary secretary for having raised this important matter as well as the hon. members for Labrador, Abitibi—Témiscamingue and Yukon for their comments.
In presenting his point of order, the parliamentary secretary argued that two of the amendments to Bill C-3 contained in the first report from the Standing Committee on Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development, tabled on April 29, 2010, were beyond the scope of the bill as approved by the House at second reading.
The first motion presented by the member for Labrador during clause-by-clause consideration of the bill reads as follows:
That Bill C-3, in Clause 2, be amended by adding after line 16 on page 1 the following:
(a.1) that person was born prior to April 17, 1985 and is a direct descendant of the person referred to in paragraph (a) or of a person referred to in paragraph 11(1)(a), (b), (c), (d), (e) or (f) as they read immediately prior to April 17, 1985;
As reported by the parliamentary secretary, this motion was ruled out of order by the chair on the basis that it went beyond the scope of the bill as approved by the House at the second reading stage. The ruling was appealed and overturned by a majority vote and the amendment was subsequently adopted by a similar vote.
In respect of the second amendment under dispute concerning the short title of the bill, the parliamentary secretary argued that it had only been allowed to proceed because of the adoption of the first amendment. He noted that in the absence of any amendment requiring it, no motion to amend a bill's title was admissible under our rules.
The member for Labrador argued that the court ruling in which the bill responded identified discriminatory provisions related to registration in the Indian Act beyond those specific to the McIvor case. He stated that in its ruling the court of appeal pointed out that there may be other parts of the act that caused gender discrimination. He also drew to the attention of the House that there existed considerable latitude for the government to respond to the court's decision. In doing so, he cited a number of examples where legislation had gone well beyond the modifications to the law required by court decisions. He concluded that the amendment in question was entirely consistent with bills responding to court rulings.
The Chair has carefully examined Bill C-3, the Committee's report as well as the proceedings in the Committee dealing with clause-by-clause consideration of the bill.
As has been frequently noted, the Speaker's involvement in committee matters is limited except in cases where a committee has exceeded its authority. The adoption of amendments that are beyond the scope of a bill is such a case.
I would like to remind the House that the Speaker's role in these matters is limited strictly to determining the procedural issue that has been raised. While some members may be of the opinion that a different bill, perhaps broader in scope, ought to have been introduced, I must base my decision on the bill that actually was introduced and approved by the House at second reading.
House of Commons Procedure and Practice, p. 766, states:
An amendment to a bill that was referred to committee after second reading is out of order if it is beyond the scope and principle of the bill.
In the present case, in order to determine the scope of the bill, we need to put this legislative measure in its unique context. Bill C-3 was drafted in response to a ruling of the court of appeal for British Columbia, which struck down certain provisions of the Indian Act based on unequal treatment with respect to registration accorded to the descendants of some Indian women arising out of earlier amendments to the Indian Act made in 1985. The bill seeks to redress the specific inequality identified by the court. As such, it is of extremely narrow scope. It removes gender discrimination arising from transitional effects of the 1985 amendments as they relate to a particular family structure.
The amendment, adding a new sub-paragraph a.1 to the conditions of registration in section 6 of the Indian Act, deals with all persons born prior to April 17, 1985 who are descended from those registered under the Indian Act, or entitled to be so registered, prior to that date. Individuals, whose status is not affected in any way by Bill C-3 as adopted at second reading, would have a different status as a result of this amendment. It may be that the amendment seeks to redress an inequality arising out of the Indian Act, but it is not addressing the specific inequality identified by the Court and initially targeted by Bill C-3. Consequently, the amendment exceeds the scope of the bill as set by the House at second reading and is therefore inadmissible.
The second amendment, changing the short title of the bill, is dependent on the broadening of scope resulting from the first inadmissible amendment. As such, in the absence of any other amendment requiring a change to the original short title, it too is inadmissible.
I therefore rule that the amendment to clause 2 of Bill C-3 and the amendment to the short title are null and void and no longer form part of the bill as reported to the House. In addition, I am ordering a reprint of Bill C-3 be published to replace the reprint ordered by the committee.
I thank hon. members for their attention.
Royal Recommendation—Bill C-501
Points of Order
Oral Questions
3:10 p.m.
Regina—Lumsden—Lake Centre
Tom Lukiwski Parliamentary Secretary to the Leader of the Government in the House of Commons
Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order with respect to Bill C-501, An Act to amend the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act and other Acts (pension protection).
Without commenting on the merits of the bill, I submit that its provisions to require the Minister of Labour to appoint an adjudicator to hear and adjudicate claims would require new government spending and therefore would require a royal recommendation.
Page 834 of the second edition of House of Commons Procedure and Practice states:
—a royal recommendation is required not only in the case where money is being appropriated, but also in the case where the authorization to spend for a specific purpose is significantly altered.
Bill C-501 would amend the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act and the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act so that the unfunded pension plan liabilities would be accorded the status of secured debts in the event of bankruptcy.
The bill would also amend the Canada Business Corporations Act to provide for a procedure by which former employees of a bankrupt corporation who were owed amounts by the corporation could proceed with claims against its directors. That procedure is set out in clause 6, which would require the Minister of Labour to appoint an adjudicator to hear and adjudicate claims and would set out the powers and functions of the proposed adjudicator. Section 23 of the Interpretation Act makes it clear that the power to appoint also includes the power to pay.
The requirement for a royal recommendation for a new officer of the Crown is made clear in the Speaker's ruling of November 9, 1978, which states, "If this bill is to impose a new duty on the officers of the Crown, these objectives will necessitate expenditures of a nature which would require the financial initiative of the Crown".
On September 19, 2006, in the case of Bill C-293, An Act respecting the provision of official development assistance abroad, the Speaker ruled on the need for a royal recommendation for the creation of an advisory committee that:
—the establishment of the advisory committee for international development cooperation provided for in clause 6 clearly would require the expenditure of public funds...
On February 11, 2008, in the case of Bill C-474 provisions, for the appointment of representatives for an advisory council, the Speaker ruled that this required a royal recommendation:
Clause 7 of the bill provides for the governor in council to appoint 25 representatives to the advisory council....As the provision in Bill C-474 is such that the governor in council could choose to pay a salary to these representatives, this involves an appropriation of a part of the public revenue and should be accompanied by a royal recommendation.
These precedents also apply to Bill C-501. As I have mentioned, the bill's proposal to appoint an adjudicator would increase government spending for a new purpose and therefore must be accompanied by a royal recommendation.
Royal Recommendation—Bill C-501

Mario Laframboise Argenteuil—Papineau—Mirabel, QC
Mr. Speaker, in my speech before question period I was mentioning the results of a survey which the Bloc Québécois conducted with the Intellectuels pour la souveraineté du Québec, a survey carried out from March 18 to April 6. There were 1,001 respondents in Quebec and 1,007 respondents in Canada outside Quebec.
There continues to be a strong impression in Quebec. Many Quebeckers would like to see Canada reformed. About 45% of the population is in favour of sovereignty, but Quebeckers have a very strong desire to reform Canada. What we are trying to get Quebeckers and Canadians to understand is that Canada is not going to reform itself.
In the survey, when Quebeckers are asked whether a new division of powers and resources should be negotiated between Quebec and Ottawa so that Quebec is recognized as having special status, 73% of Quebeckers say yes and 71% of Canadians say no. When asked whether the Quebec government should have more powers to protect the French language and culture, 82% of Quebeckers say yes and 69% of Canadians say no. Should the Government of Canada respect in Quebec the provisions of Bill 101, which makes French the only official language in Quebec? To this question, 90% of Quebeckers say yes and 74% of Canadians say no. When Quebeckers are asked whether they are Quebeckers, French Canadians or Canadians, 67% say Quebecker, 21% say Canadian and 12% say French Canadian. In 1995, however, 47% of Quebeckers called themselves Quebeckers
Quebeckers must be made to understand that Canada is not going to reform itself.

Paul Szabo Mississauga South, ON
Mr. Speaker, I would like to give the member an opportunity to finish his last line. The statistics are important background information to have.
I also want to ask him about the responsibility Quebec has for representing the interests of francophones across the rest of the country. They rely very heavily on a number of jurisdictions or services provided by Quebec, many of which are funded by the federal government in terms of providing services to francophones across the country.

Comments about Nady UHF-4 LT/HM-3 (115) Headset Wireless System:
Quality control issues, the one I received had a broken mini plug and I had to send it back. After that they said it was out of stock and I had to wait a month to get a replacement.
Comments about Nady UHF-4 LT/HM-3 (115) Headset Wireless System:
I am a guitarist who sings alot of background and some lead vocals.This is just what I need so I can sing and change effects as I look down without not worrying about a mic stand.
When I first opened it the pink cover fell off and I had to glue it back on,that's pretty crummy.The unit itself is cheesy but you get what you pay for.
Value wise this is a good unit.The headset is comfy and the mic bends to where you need it.I use recharchable cadmium batteries in it and it does not eat alot of juice as long as you turn it off between sets obviously.The volume setrtings and squelch settings are nice too.

UHF-4 LT/HM-3 (115) Headset Wireless System
Fantastic sound, terrible headset/mic assy.
Mechanical issues!
There is one major problem with the headset rcv'd.
(Movement wise) -- the headset assembly is very unstable -- flips & flops with no stability during head movement. The (light weight plastic boom assembly) moved back & forth with a 2 to 3 inch span during normal head movement. It was very difficult to adjust, and the whole assembly would slip and slide around during use.
(Sound / audio performance wise) -- the sound was fantastic -- no audio feedback during normal operations noticed.
The headset is being replaced -- hopefully the above issues will be resolved.
I will give a rating after the headset issue is resolved.
Tks -- Jim

Comments about Nady UHF-4 LT/HM-3 (115) Headset Wireless System:
Item was defective - never worked. I installed battery as instructed, completely plugged in, etc., but the unit would not work. I unplugged and check the battery compartment and the battery was extremely hot. In looking at battery cage, it appeared the positive/negative posts were not alined so the battery was not functioning property. Also, the microphone mount is really flimsy - one only has to move their head slightly to shake the microprone excessively. Service from Guitar Store Was Excellent.

I recently moved back into my queen bed with my dh (i'd been sleeping in a twin bed with me dd up until now). I know that to keep her safe she needs to sleep between me and the guardrail. however she won't let me roll to my back, or to my other side. She wants me to sleep on my side so she can snuggle into my breast. After laying on the same side all night i'm in agony. How can I make it safe for me to roll to the other side of me (keeping her between dh and myself)? I thought about rolling up a blanket as it would create a barrier between us and dh, but i wasn't sure if that was safe as i know the recommend no bumper pad on there crib. How did you other parents deal with this??

i am asking for specific clarification from HQ on the safe sleep guidelines and will get back to you as soon as i hear. but, if your baby is able to lift her own head and move on her own, then suffocation from a bumper would not be an issue.

sleeping in the middle
Unfortunately, the research is not really clear on this issue. I know many people who use a rolled up blanket or a very firm pillow for this type of thing, and there's also a great sleeping pad made by Humanity Organics that could be used this way, or used the other way to keep baby from falling out of bed if she sleeps on the outside (http://humanityorganics.com/humanityfamilybed.html).
I agree that if she's older than 6 months old and can roll over, lift her head, etc., the risks associated with being in the middle (that papa might roll over on her or that she might get smothered by pillows and blankets) are less than with a tiny infant, but some sort of barrier between baby and daddy would probably provide more safety. Also watch overheating, which can be a contributing factor to SIDS. I know my littlest one would get really warm if she was between us and therefore under the covers, and always seemed to sleep more comfortably on the outside with no blankets. A fan in the room and keeping the heat at a lower level (UNICEF recommends below 64 degrees!! Brrrr!) would help with that too.
Best of luck! It's such a journey to find the best way to sleep as a family and just when you get something figured out, it will change (at least it did for us!).
