No big whup....Bob
Agree with Bob, especially regarding the "big picture" --- No big whup. John K
Really man, I witness harsher language an behavior in the produce section at my local market.
How can you say that? I'm not defending what Scott said (I don't know that much yet), but Tony's last post was pretty harsh. "Next time we see each other you may want to be more professional." Maybe I'm seeing something that isn't there, but this reads a bit like a threat to me.
It is a big deal to some though. Isnt it just as easy to say don't do that as it is to say no big whup?
"Who's this Scott guy that hates me so much? I have no idea who he is or why he's always trashing me. I used to go on that forum a little but I avoid it now." Since then, I have seen several more times that it has happened.
and while Tony Gemignani (International School of Pizza) could be one of the best guys in the world to learn dough tossing acrobats from, he has gaps on the pizzamaking side. You don't want to learn how to make NY pizza from a Californian
Who else is left [to further the cause of NY style pizza]? Tony Gemignani? He's great at spinning dough, but he's isn't all that knowledgeable about making it.
If you want to pay for a dough throwing/spinning class with Tony, go for it, but honestly, I've said this before, but, right now, you know more about dough than he does. Don't waste your money.
If you're going with NY style, you might be able to be ready in time, but you have to start now. Learning dough acrobatics from Gemignani (his only strength) in California will get you no where. And, in case I wasn't clear before, Goodfellas is literally flushing money down the drain.

I think, right now, Nick knows more about pizza than Tony does. Tony knows a heck of a lot about throwing dough, and, if someone were interested in throwing, Tony would be THE guy to train with, but for pizza making, perhaps the school would be good for a beginner, but not for a successful pizzeria owner in the tri state area.
I'm not Pete so I can't miraculously come up with dozens, and I know the moderators have removed some of your more virulent posts, including some about Tony.
But here's a few that are more accurate of how you have posted about Tony.
Oh man...gee wiz, wish I hadn't said that...now you are going to be mad at me. Darn it all!!
Bob, as long as you don't ever pass yourself off as an authority on NY style pizza while recommending 2.5% salt doughs, we'll always be good.
OK cool...just please don't tell Tony that is my salt amount in my challenger thin crust pizza man...
2.5% salt in a N.Y. dough? Hmm, sounds like it's worth a try! Might be pretty darn good! oops, I mean , I mean I mean
Steve, with your love of Neapolitan and your extensive experience eating NY style pizza, I would think you'd be an excellent candidate for being able to clearly differentiate between a 1.5%-2% salt crust and a more Neapolitan-ish 2.5% salt crust. I know you haven't spent a huge amount of time in NY, but you've had plenty of NY slices (other than your own and Norma's). Phillie's got a few NY places as well, right?. Out of all the NY style places you've been, did any of the crusts taste like they were 2.5% salt?
Robyn, I have never had a post removed for content on this forum. Ever. You can ask Peter.
Maybe you should ask me instead because you're stretching the truth (no pun intended).
To this day, thanks to Jeff Varasano, people still believe that Patsy's uses a starter and that sourdough might play a role in NY pizza.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (May 19, 2012) – Christa Harmotto (Hopewell Township, Pa.) pocketed 18 points during the U.S. Women's National Volleyball Team Red-Blue intrasquad scrimmage held May 19 at Irvine Valley College in Irvine, Calif.
The Blue Team won sets two and four 25-14 and 25-21, while the Red Team won sets one and three 25-19 and 25-21. However, players switched uniforms and sides throughout the match. The U.S. Women's National Volleyball Team will host a second Red-Blue intrasquad scrimmage on May 26 at 5 p.m. PT inside Crawford Hall on the UC Irvine campus. The match is free to the public.
Harmotto alternated teams in each set, scoring nine points for both the Red Team and Blue Team and being on the winning side in each set. She compiled seven kills on 16 attacks, 10 blocks and an ace to reach a match-high 18 points.
Jordan Larson (Hooper, Neb.) and Destinee Hooker (San Antonio, Texas) each scored 17 points during the scrimmage. Larson tallied 11 kills, five blocks and an ace during the match while playing three sets for the Blue Team. Hooker contributed 13 kills on 27 attacks, two blocks and two aces as she played just the first three sets for the Blue Team.
Danielle Scott-Arruda (Baton Rouge, La.), playing three of the four sets for the Red Team, tallied six kills on 13 errorless attacks to go with three blocks and an ace. Megan Hodge (Durham, N.C.) charted 10 points in the match with nine kills and an ace in just three sets. Alix Klineman (Manhattan Beach, Calif.) contributed 10 points with seven kills and three blocks in just the final two sets playing for Team Red.
In the first set, Harmotto scored four quick points with three blocks to push the Red to a 5-1 advantage. Hooker kept the set close at 6-3 with a kill and block. Team Red scored six unanswered points to stretch its lead to 15-5 as Hodge and Cynthia Barboza (Long Beach, Calif.) scored two points each in the run. After Team Blue sliced the deficit to 15-7, Team Red scored six straight points that included four errors by Team Blue. Hooker scored three points and Tom added a kill in Team Blue's 4-0 run that cut the gap to 22-12, but Team Red closed out the set 25-14 on a quick attack by Scott-Arruda.
Larson helped Team Blue to a 4-1 lead in the second set with a kill and block in the early going. After Team Red cut the deficit to 4-3, Larson added four points in a 5-1 run to push the score to 9-4. Hooker served consecutive aces to increase Team Blue's lead to 12-4. Team Blue maintained control the rest of the way and reached set point at 24-17 on a Foluke Akinradewo (Plantation, Fla.) block after a Larson kill. Akinradewo ended the set at 25-19 on a kill.
In the third set, Team Red overcame a 12-11 deficit with a Klineman block and Harmotto ace as part of a 3-0 run. Team Red pushed the lead to 19-15 on a Larson kill, only to have Bown and Tom score consecutive kills to close Team Red to within 19-17. Scott-Arruda pushed Team Red back in front by four at 23-19 on a kill and her side closed out the set 25-21 on a Klineman block.
Team Red reached a 10-5 advantage in the fourth set on a 4-0 run that included two kills by Barboza and a block by Nancy Metcalf (Hull, Iowa). Team Blue quickly responded with three unanswered points capped by a Nicole Fawcett kill at 10-8. Harmotto put up consecutive blocks after a Larson block to narrow Team Blue's deficit to 12-11. Team Blue leveled the set at 14-all on a Kristin Richards (Orem, Utah) block and went ahead 15-14 on a Fawcett kill. Leading 18-17, Team Blue quickly widened its advantage to 23-17 with four straight blocks that included three by Harmotto and one by Lloyd after Scott-Arruda started the 5-0 run with a kill. Harmotto ended the set and match with a kill at 25-21 after Team Red closed to 24-21 following a kill and ace by Lauren Gibbemeyer (St. Paul, Minn.).

Double Mustard Crusted Pork Roast with Jus
- 1/2 cup stone-ground mustard
- 1/2 cup Dijon mustard
- 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon black pepper, freshly cracked
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
- 10 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
- 1 (4 to 5 pound) bone-in pork loin roast
- 1 fennel bulb, trimmed and sliced into 1-inch pieces
- 1 large yellow onion, peeled and sliced into 1-inch rounds
- 2 large carrots, cut into large pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
- 2 cups panko bread crumbs
- 1 cup vermouth
- 3/4 cup chicken stock
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
In a food processor, combine the mustards, soy sauce, pepper, thyme and garlic. Process until smooth. Rub all over the pork roast, loosely cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 6 hours. Remove from refrigerator and allow to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a roasting pan, add the fennel, onions and carrots. Drizzle with olive oil and season generously with salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Put the bread crumbs on a plate wide enough to fit the loin. Carefully roll the pork in the crumbs to form a nice crust. Put the pork on top of the vegetables in the roasting pan and bake until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
Remove the pork from the oven to a cutting board and let rest. Put the roasting pan over 2 burners on high heat. Add the vermouth and chicken stock and let reduce by half. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Whisk in the butter and strain into a small pitcher or bowl.
Remove the pork from the bone and slice into serving portions. Arrange on a serving platter and drizzle with the jus.

The Columbus Dispatch - November 02, 2012 04:09 PM
The Crew has parted ways with vice president of operations Scott DeBolt after 12 years of service.
In a statement, the club said DeBolt has stepped down as a result of impending organizational structural changes.
DeBolt is listed fourth on the Crew's masthead behind president and general manager Mark McCullers and senior vice presidents Mike Malo and Andrew Arthurs. He came to the Crew from the Chicago Fire, where he was named MLS operations executive of the year in 2000. In 2005, he was named the operations director of the year while working for the Crew. DeBolt is the last Crew executive to win a league award.
DeBolt also served on the board for the Crew Soccer Foundation.
The Crew has released the following statement:
"The Columbus Crew can confirm that Scott DeBolt has stepped down as Vice President of Stadium Operations as a result of impending organizational structure changes. DeBolt has been a dedicated fixture in the Crew organization for more than ten years, and has made many contributions to the club's success throughout that period. We wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors."

Student Media
Environmentalist to speak
Friday, February 11, 2011
Each summer Ken Pentel brings his enviromental and progressive messages to Minnesotans by bicycle.
Environmental advocate, progressive politician and four-time Minnesota gubernatorial candidate Ken Pentel will lead a discussion on ecological economics 3 p.m. Feb. 16 in room 100 of Centennial Hall.
Pentel, who heads the newly formed Ecology Democracy Network, will assert the urgent need for an ecology-based economy.
Free parking is available on streets adjacent to campus. Parking in the 4th Avenue Parking Ramp is a dollar per hour.
Joining the discussion will be:
Kelsey Miller, chair of the Ecology Democracy Party of Minnesota, the political arm of the Ecology Democracy Network.
Paul Safonov, co-editor of the book "Modeling in Ecological Economics" (UK, 2005). Safonov is a St. Cloud State associate professor of information systems and co-founder and past president of the Russian Society for Ecological Economics.
The event is hosted by a new St. Cloud State student organization, the Students for Sustainability club.
Pentel was a long-time organizer for Greenpeace and the Green Party of Minnesota.
Says Pentel: "In an ecology-based economy we would measure the health of the economy based upon the health of the natural resources. For example, when our water and soil become healthier, the economy is healthier. Each economic exchange would inherently restore air, water and soil to health and sustainability."
"As long as we tolerate the growth economic model on a finite resource base, accept the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) as an economic indicator and allow short-term thinking by way of quarterly balance sheets and yearly returns to measure success, we will fail. As long as we accept single member, winner-take-all election systems, we will fail. As long as we accept big money running/ruining our planet, we will fail. And even though many people know this they are content to tinker with the existing rotting economic and political systems."
For more than 25 years Pentel has been a grassroots organizer and candidate for public office in Minnesota. He started working in 1986 with Greenpeace in Minnesota as a canvasser, field manager, coalition builder, lobbyist, participating in direct actions and a public speaking.
In recent summers, Pentel has bicycled more than 6,000 miles across Minnesota, sharing his environmental and proressive messages.
Students for Sustainability was formed by a group of Herberger College of Business students who took a summer 2010 course from Safonov on Socio-Ecological-Economic Information Systems.
St. Cloud State's commitment to environmental sustainability is founded in, among other things, its participation in the American College and University Presidents' Climate Commitment.
President Earl H. Potter III signed that document in 2008.
The university's Faculty Task Force on Sustainability began work in 2008 and helped organize the 2009 Fall Convocation featuring ecological economist Robert Costanza. Work on the university's sustainability website is nearing completion.
For more information about the event or Students for Sustainability, contact Paul Safonov, faculty advisor, or Joseph Winch, club president.

Hit the Oregon Trails
Ashland, Oregon
Go if you're equally fanatic about trail running and the Bard. Ashland has hosted the Oregon Shakespeare Festival ...
Photo by Jared Cruce
GO IF YOU'RE EQUALLY FANATIC about trail running and the Bard. Ashland has hosted the Oregon Shakespeare Festival from February to November every year since 1935. Located just 15 miles north of the California border, Ashland is nestled in the foothills of the Cascade and Siskiyou mountains. After running the area's ponderosa pine-sheltered trails, head to the open-air Elizabethan stage to take in a Shakespearean play. Or, for drama-free relaxation, go soak in Lithia Springs' famous mineral waters.
Race ... March's Tar and Trail 6-miler (roguevalleyrunners.blogspot.com/2008/02/tar-n-trail-6-mile-race.html) goes on- and off-road, including singletrack and wood-chipped trails. Log some miles on the Pacific Crest Trail with the Siskiyou Out Back 50K and 15K (siskiyououtback.com), starting and ending at the Mount Ashland ski lodge. Or dash 5600 feet to the top of Mount Ashland in August's 13.3-mile Mount Ashland Hillclimb Run (mtashlandrun.com). The first annual Lithia Loop Trail Marathon will be held this year on November 8, along Ashland Creek and the trails and fire roads winding through Rogue Valley National Forest.

Topic: RESTFUL rails - not sure how to organize my app
So say I have an app with products that can be seen by anyone but administered only by admins.
So in a non-restful rails app, I'd just go and create a shop controller and an admin controller. Then how I talk to the models from there is up to me. Easy.
Now with restful rails, I don't understand how to organize my app at all. I have this products controller and now some of the methods go to the admin layout and some don't and frankly it's a completely mess after you start adding more functionality than just the basic CRUD.
Please, what am I missing?

Be Prepared For Sudden Disasters
To The Reader's Forum:
"Get out of the house-now!"
Joe Mailhot yelled to his wife and son to leave the home he had built with his own hands. The water was coming-and it was coming quickly. Mailhot's, of Rochester, Vermont scrambled out as flood waters from Tropical Storm Irene took over their home, collapsing portions of it and shifting the foundation significantly. The family was able to escape to higher ground just in time, making their way through the dangerous water levels to reach safety. The water well that the couple had recently installed was a loss, and their home will need some major work to become livable again.
Why prepare? The Mailhot's experience has, unfortunately, been lived by residents of southwestern New York many times in just the past few years. From Silver Creek to Gowanda, Sunset Bay to Olean, we have experienced significant storm and ice-jam flooding in our area. If the Mailhot's had prepared themselves for a flood, they could have salvaged more of their belongings. This is a lesson for all of us; prepare yourself and your family for that middle of the night evacuation. Have a game plan for getting out. Organize your essential survival items and documents into an easy-to-grab kit. And know how you will communicate or meet up with loved ones after you are safe.
On Wednesday, September 18th, from 5:00pm to 6:00pm, the American Red Cross of Southwestern New York will host open house events in its Olean, Wellsville, and Jamestown offices to highlight September as "National Preparedness Month." We will provide you with valuable information on how to prepare and thank our local communities for all they do to continue to improve our readiness. Please attend and learn more about preparedness.
The Mailhot's don't intend to leave their house. The American Red Cross was able to step in and provide help, including health checks and referrals to other Vermont relief agencies that could offer assistance. If the family had prepared themselves for a flood, they could have salvaged more of their belongings. That is a lesson we here in southwestern New York can learn from.

Tigers earn page in record books
MARSHALL – The Marshall boys' basketball team has been reminded of its decorated past for virtually the entire season.
The 2012-13 season marked the 50th anniversary of Marshall's lone state championship, as well as the 90th anniversary of its first state tournament berth. The buzzword for the program during the season was tradition, and with their third-place finish in the Class AAA state tournament, this year's Tigers were able to add their own page to the history books.
Unlike the 1963 state champions, who were welcomed back by half of Lyon County and presented to the masses in the middle of downtown Marshall, the 2013 team was afforded a more intimate afternoon Sunday as family and a few friends of the team gathered at the Marshall High School theater.
The subdued celebration seemed fitting, as the Tiger players and coaches were candid and sincere in their remarks to the crowd that has been with them every step of the way.
As to be expected, the speeches were rife with thank yous. A high school basketball program has a lot of moving parts, and each were thanked in turn. From the pep band to the bus company, from the boosters to the families, each member of the community has a role in the success of the team, especially the fans.
"We really have the greatest fans," assistant coach Mike Christianson told the crowd. "It's incredible to be able to walk onto the court and see that sea of orange. We appreciate your support during the season and throughout the tournament run."
Basketball has long reigned in Marshall, self-propelled by its own success. Kids in elementary school see their high school idols make the state tournament and, in turn, dream of wearing that Marshall jersey on the floor of Williams Arena.
The Tigers now have nine state tournament appearances, one championship, one runner-up and a third-place trophy. The 71-62 defeat of St. Paul Johnson on Saturday made the 2012-13 season the third-most successful in program history.
As activities director Bruce Remme said to the team in his closing statement: "You have brought pride to your school and your community."

Hi, Emilee,
I really like being an engineer. I like to solve problems, I like to learn new things every day, I like to understand how things work, I like to make things - and, since I teach engineering, I get to help other people learn to do all of those cool kinds of things! What could be a better career?? I can't think of one.
I have to admit that I have not personally discovered any medicine to cure a disease. But - medicines aren't generally discovered by one person working alone - they are developed by people (engineers, scientists, and doctors) who all work together to come up with and test ideas. I have personally done some research that helped other engineers, scientists, and doctors get a better understanding of how cells interact with biomaterials, mechanical forces, and different kinds of biochemicals... so I like to think that I have contributed to the knowledge of the people who read my research reports, and that when they come up with great ideas for medicines, I contributed in a very small way to their good work!!
Thanks for asking!
Hello! You asked a very good question. ABET accreditation is an important sign that a program meets quality standards involving the breadth and depth of an engineering education, that the program has facilities, faculty, and support that allow them to provide strong learning experiences, and that graduates of the program have learned skills in appropriate areas and are building successful careers. Graduating from an ABET-accredited program makes it easier for graduates to eventually become licensed as a Professional Engineer, which isn't quite as important in bioengineering as it is in other areas of engineering (like civil engineering), but I think the main value of ABET accreditation is that going through the accreditation process forces the faculty and administration to look carefully at what they do for students, and why, and how it could be better. ABET accreditation is really a sign of quality, and it's common for bioengineering and biomedical engineering programs to be ABET-accredited, since the accreditation is such a widely recognized sign of quality.
The answer to your second question really depends on you, and what you would be happy doing for your career. Simply put, if you major in another type of engineering and take a few biology classes, you won't get anywhere near the educational experience you will get with a degree in biomedical engineering or bioengineering. So if your heart is set on working in the medical device field or medical research, I'd encourage you to give yourself the best possible preparation for that field, and major in biomedical/bioengineering. If, on the other hand, you're interested in medical devices but you'd also be happy working on other kinds of things as well – for example, aircraft turbines, ball bearings, air conditioners – then you might decide to major in mechanical engineering (in this example) and take some biology/biomedical engineering classes on the side. It really comes down to preparing for what you want to do.
Good luck! I'd be happy to answer other questions.

Peripheral Positions Invited Speakers Jim McCloskey (Santa Cruz) Mamoru Saito (Nanzan) Lilliane Haegeman (Lille) Caroline Heycock (Edinburgh) (to be confirmed) Ianthi Tsimpli (Thessaloniki/Cambridge) (to be confirmed) Early generative syntax was concerned with providing a formal account of a whole range of constructions, and provided transformational analyses of phenomena like Heavy NP Shift, Extraposition, Topicalisation, Scrambling, Focussing Constructions etc. In some sense, all of these constructions involve peripheral positions within the clausal architecture - that is, positions which, at first blush, are not associated with one of the core clausal heads. Within the Government and Binding framework, these phenomena, together with those traditionally treated as involving base generation (Clitic Right/Left Dislocation), never truly figured as core concerns of the theory of clausal structure, althought they were important from the perspective of A-bar dependency. More recently, however, developments within the theory of clause structure, and the development of the Minimalist program, have meant that such phenomena are beginning to raise interesting analytical and theoretical questions. We intend to hold a conference at the University of York on the 9th-11th of September to address these issues. More specifically, the kinds of questions we would like to address include the following: Euro Is it possible or even desirable to provide a unified account of the behaviour of elements at the right and left peripheries of the clause? Euro What is the phrase structural characterisation of such elements? Euro Are there dedicated peripheral positions for particular kinds of syntactic formatives, and if so what are the relevant featural characteristics? Euro Are peripheral positions available at early stages of first and second language acquisition? Euro What is the relationship between peripheral positions and apparently resumptive elements deeper within the clause structure? Euro What kinds of motivations are there for movement of elements to peripheral positions, and how do these bear on considerations of information structure and prosody? Euro What, if anything, differentiates matrix from embedded peripheral positions? Abstract Submission details Abstracts should be no more than two pages long (1000 - 1200 words maximum). Send 5 anonymous and one camera ready copy bearing the authors' name and affiliation, together with contact details, including an email address, to: Peripheral Positions Conference Programme Committee Department of Language and Linguistic Science University of York Heslington - York YO10 5DD United Kingdom Faxed abstracts will not be considered.

It's the birthday of tenor saxophone legend Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis. He was a pretty powerful presence in bands led by Cootie Williams, Lucky Millinder, Andy Kirk, Louis Armstrong, and Count Basie. He also led his own sessions, which included swing, bop, hard bop, Latin jazz, and soul jazz genres. Basically, Eddie Davis played a lot of music. Check out this video - Eddie plays Ray Noble's "Cherokee" with the Count Basie Orchestra.
How Do You Get to Carnegie Hall?

If I had a time machine (preferably a DeLorean with a Flux Capacitor requiring 1.21 jigowatts of juice), one place I would go to is Carnegie Hall. Specifically on the evening of January 16, 1938. That's because seventy years ago today, jazz giants roamed the stage at Carnegie, and jazz was finally getting some respect from the concert hall scene.What an extraordinary night in many ways. There are a million stories about this show, and historians have cleared most of the myth from the reality. That's important work, but at the end of the day, I just like the music. I've listened to this stuff over and over. When modern listeners' conceit gets in the way of hearing an "old sounding" recording like this, those folks are simply missing the point. It's the music.And the music is amazing. Benny Goodman with his trio (pianist Teddy Wilson, drummer Gene Krupa), his quartet (add Lionel Hampton), and his orchestra with Jess Stacy, Harry James, Ziggy Elman etc. With Fletcher Henderson and Jimmy Mundy arrangements. You can't go wrong with this. It's enough.
But it wasn't enough. Ellington sidemen Johnny Hodges and Harry Carney sat in. Not to forget Cootie Williams' muted trumpet on "Blue Reverie." That's my reverie. Plus, a jam session on "Honeysuckle Rose" that's crazy long, with Count Basie and most of his men. No Papa Jo on the drums, but Krupa turns the volume down a bit. Hell, even rhythm guitarist Freddie Green takes a two chorus "solo" of strumming the strings...
If I had my way, I'd post the whole show online, RIAA be damned. People need to hear it. If you haven't heard it, what exactly are you waiting for?
As for me, I'm waiting for lightning to strike the clock tower. It's 10:04 on November 12th, 1955. I'm in my DeLorean. Trying to get back home.

"If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is thank you, it will be enough. "
Lotus Exige S 240
Returning a seriously good car to its lender at the conclusion of an evaluation brings a mixture of relief that it has survived a week on New York metro-area roads unscathed and regret that the loan is up. The Lotus Exige S 240 is the first loaner I've returned with more relief than regret, and that's a reflection on its preferred habitat rather than a verdict on the machine.
This go-kart on an overdose of stimulants was not bred to be a daily driver on the clogged lanes of New Jersey's Garden State Parkway or the canyons of Manhattan. It has a blind spot the size of Gotham immediately downwind of the driver's ears, and presumably the only reason there's an inside rear-view mirror is to satisfy DOT regs, since the intercooler for the mid-mounted Toyota engine's supercharger blocks any view through the rear window.
Never before had I regarded a Honda Civic in the neighboring lane as an imposing structure, but that's how it is when your heels and butt are flying at the same altitude scant inches above the blacktop.
You don't have to have my back problems to find it difficult to enter and exit the Exige. Were I to own one, I'd remove the roof-a quick process with simple tools but not one Lotus recommends for reasons explained later-and build a hoist in the garage to install and extract the driver and passenger vertically. My wife made one halfhearted attempt to fold herself into the Exige and soon concluded the effort was futile-not uncommon, a local dealer later confided, adding with a wry smile that some buyers in fact consider this limitation a plus.
So what does the S 240 have going for it? Plenty, if you're supple enough to get in and out and can learn to live with Suburbans lurking invisible in the wings, and a whole lot more if you have access to a track.
The Exige S 240 represents a stage of metamorphosis for a supercar before-how shall we phrase this for polite company?-before it undergoes voice changes, grows body hair and transforms into an F430. It's exactly what a Lotus has always been: a four-cylinder bare-bones screamer in a world of bigger, heavier, pricier machines. It's the scrawny gym regular who can bench-press with the best of them.
Forty years ago, while the U.S. was building big-bang V8s for not many bucks and Italy was seducing the wealthy and siphoning their wallets with shapely V8s and V12s, Lotus in its native England was peddling highly strung, two-seat four-bangers such as the Elan and Europa and souping up Ford Cortinas for those not content with a mundane MG, too skint for a Morgan or a Maserati and averse to the thirst of a muscle car from the colonies. Above all, Lotus was a winning machine on the track with lightweight mid-engine race cars, and that pedigree is abundantly apparent in the Exige S 240.
Even if body hair isn't one of them, the S 240 and the F430 evidence some similarities: striking styling, two seats, mid engine, not much storage space, unmistakable voice and jowl-stretching performance. For less than four-tenths the price and prestige of the Ferrari, the Lotus provides eight-tenths of the grins and seems relatively expendable enough that one would never hesitate to take it onto the track for a tussle. The track is exactly where the Exige belongs, and it can get there without having to be loaded aboard a trailer and hauled by a pickup truck. That's pretty appealing. Of the 20-plus cars this track novice drove on the Pocono Raceway during a press event last fall, none was so much at home as this Lilliputian race car.
The engine is a Toyota 1.8-liter four, pumped up by a supercharger whose output is cooled by an intercooler fed by the air scoop over the center of the windscreen. This is one reason Lotus recommends not removing the roof, which also serves as the duct to the intercooler that blocks the view through the rear window. Removal of the roof disrupts airflow over the rear spoiler, too.
The Exige weighs a ton, next to nothing in this context, propelled by 240 hp through a six-speed manual gearbox. The overriding message from the S 240 is the sheer wonder of light weight: there's no power steering, the response and nimbleness are a delight and the Yokohama tires grip like demons. Power windows are the pinnacle of the creature comforts, along with an optional single cupholder, made of aluminum and leather, that retracts into the bottom center of the dash. Reflecting Lotus founder Colin Chapman's guiding ethos since he started designing and building cars in the early 1950s ("simplify, then add lightness"), the Exige S 240 has an epoxy-bonded extruded aluminum chassis and glass-fiber body panels, for a curb weight of 2,077 pounds. This is roughly double the weight of the old Lotus 7, but still feather light compared with current production cars.
The materials coexist but not silently. The Exige I borrowed had a mere 192 miles on it when I picked it up, but its body sounded worn out. Again, think of it as a race car designed for minimum weight and high performance, and this just doesn't matter. It's another reminder that the Exige is no ordinary car. The beautiful aluminum extrusions that serve as the engine cover hinges and door hinges emphasize that this is not a cut-price car in terms of materials. In fact, it exudes sport airplane-another tribute to Chapman, who was a pilot and aluminum engineer with an airplane designer's quest for lightness and strength. (He died of a heart attack in 1982 at age 54.)
The engine and exhaust noise is unlike anything else you'll hear on U.S. roads, too. Between 3800 and 4200 rpm, it's as if the accelerator pedal is thrusting a poking device into a hornet's nest, so fierce is the buzz from back there. The push in the back is equally fierce as the S 240 accelerates from zero to 60 mph in 4.0 seconds (Lotus figure), just one-tenth of a second behind the book time for the F430 we drove (see 'Ferrari F430' -Ed.).
Gear changes are helped in the S 240 by red telltale lights in the instrument display, three of them that illuminate in sequence as the revs get closer to the limit of 8000 rpm or 8500 rpm for a 1.5-second transient. They're smart in that the first one lights up earlier in lower gears to account for the more rapid rate at which the revs are building toward the limit, and they certainly convey the message more precisely and with less distraction and interpretation than trying to nail a needle position.
Don't buy an Exige S 240 as your daily drive, but if you want a race car to wring out on the track, this is an awful lot of twists, turns and Gs for the money.

Foreign Credential Recognition
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Devinder Shory Calgary Northeast, AB
Mr. Speaker, thousands of Canadians still face challenges in having their foreign qualifications recognized, and I have promised my constituents that I will not let this issue die.
While many Canadians struggle to navigate confusing recognition pathways, life goes on. Hard-working foreign-trained professionals do what needs to be done: they drive cabs, clean offices, or work in warehouses, but many get stuck.
Now some people say that the safest place to have a heart attack in Canada might be the back seat of a taxi; the chances are that it is a doctor driving.
The foreign-trained professionals I have spoken with are thankful that our Conservative government is taking the lead in exploring new ways to shorten the qualifications recognition process. They are also encouraged to see all levels of government working co-operatively under the pan-Canadian framework to find ways to shorten and expedite the process.

Alain Giguère Marc-Aurèle-Fortin, QC
Mr. Speaker, I am sad to say that there has been a sharp increase in poverty in the riding of Marc-Aurèle-Fortin, mainly due to the Conservatives' inaction. In fact, they have not acted decisively to counter job losses, especially in the industrial sector, where 350,000 jobs have been eliminated and replaced only by precarious, poorly paid and, often, part-time jobs.
At present, in my riding of Marc-Aurèle-Fortin, too many people have to use food banks and turn to social housing to have a roof over their heads at a reasonable cost.
There are people in my riding who run food banks, provide meals on wheels and work in community kitchens. They are much more compassionate than the members of the Conservative Party.
Salvation Army
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Joy Smith Kildonan—St. Paul, MB
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise today to congratulate Salvation Army Commissioner Brian Peddle, and his wife, commissioner Rosalie Peddle, on their appointment as the territorial commander for Canada and Bermuda, and territorial president of women's ministries, respectively.
The Salvation Army is the largest non-governmental provider of social services in Canada. Last year, in 400 communities across our nation, the Salvation Army assisted over 1.6 million people in need, through addiction programs, homeless and street youth programs, palliative care and emergency disaster relief.
The Salvation Army has also been at the forefront of national and international efforts to end modern day slavery by raising awareness in communities and providing invaluable shelter and rehabilitation to survivors.
I want to congratulate Commissioners Brian and Rosalie Peddle on their appointments and commend the Salvation Army for its commitment to the hope and dignity of all people.
Holodomor Memorial Day
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Robert Sopuck Dauphin—Swan River—Marquette, MB
Mr. Speaker, on November 26 I encourage everyone to commemorate the victims of the Ukrainian genocide of 1932-33. In 2008, this day was enshrined in legislation as Holodomor Memorial Day after a bill was introduced by my distinguished colleague from Selkirk—Interlake.
The Holodomor represents a period when Stalin's communist regime engineered a famine. Stalin's government imposed exorbitant grain quotas—in some cases confiscating supplies down to the last seed.
Soviet armed units surrounded the Ukrainian population in the Kuban region and in Ukraine, and prevented people from obtaining food in the neighbouring Soviet regions. The result was the death of millions, in what can only be described as one of the most horrific genocides in history.
As chair of the Canada-Ukraine Parliamentary Friendship Group, I respectfully urge all members to take a few moments to remember the men, women and children who lost their lives in the Holodomor genocide.
World Prematurity Day
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Linda Duncan Edmonton Strathcona, AB
Mr. Speaker, to mark the first World Prematurity Day, parents of premature babies and the staff from Edmonton neonatal intensive care units are today launching a campaign for extended parental leave to ensure proper care for infants born prematurely or with serious illnesses.
Some babies spend weeks to months in the intensive care unit. Some require multiple surgeries. Of necessity, the majority of paid parental leave is spent in hospital with the infants. As a result, the parents lose their usual one year at home with their healthy, well-developing child.
Doctors advise that parental participation in infant care is essential in intensive care. Yet many families face ongoing challenges once home. These parents need and deserve additional time with their children before returning to work.
On behalf of these children and their families, I call on the government to extend the allowed one year of paid parental leave for any parents caring for premature infants.
National Field Lacrosse Championship
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Jacques Gourde Lotbinière—Chutes-de-la-Chaudière, QC
Mr. Speaker, the Eastern Townships received some great news when the Gaiters of Bishop's University in Lennoxville won the Canadian University Field Lacrosse Association's national championship.
The tournament was held in London, Ontario, on November 10.
Bishop's University defeated the Brock Badgers 11 to 6 in the finals. With a lead of 4 to 0, the Bishop's Gaiters prevented the Brock Badgers from scoring four consecutive times. Bishop's won the game with five unanswered goals in the last 25 minutes. The Gaiters' defence helped lead the team to its first national title.
I would like to congratulate this Quebec team of student athletes on its impressive victory in Canada's national summer sport.
Go Gaiters, go!
National Transit Strategy

Jinny Sims Newton—North Delta, BC
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to address an urgent issue in my community of Newton—North Delta and in many cities across this country. The lack of public transit for hard-working Canadian families is abysmal. Challenging economic times make affordable, accessible transit all the more important. My community has grown at an astounding rate for the past two decades, yet investment in infrastructure has lagged.
Our party is calling for a national transit strategy, a permanent investment plan for environmentally-responsible, quality transportation right across the country. Canada should be a leader on this issue. Instead, we are falling behind. Canada is the only country in the G8 without a national transit strategy.
I want to take this opportunity to urge the House to work with all levels of government to establish a national transit strategy that would benefit all hard-working Canadians.
Religious Freedom

Bob Dechert Mississauga—Erindale, ON
Mr. Speaker, this week His Holiness Pope Shenouda III celebrated the 40th anniversary of his ordination as Pope of the Coptic Orthodox Church. Anniversary celebrations recently took place in Egypt.
I would like to congratulate Pope Shenouda and his followers, many of whom live in my riding, on this very special occasion.
Our government remains very concerned about the recent violence in Egypt. Freedom of religion is a fundamental human right. I am so proud to see that our government is following through on its promise to create an office of religious freedom. While still in its planning stages, the process of establishing this office is well under way.
I am also pleased to highlight that last week our government communicated directly to the UN Secretary-General the motion which was unanimously adopted by the House and that called for an investigation into the recent violence. Canada has been clear that the violence must stop.
Our government will continue to advocate on behalf of all people of faith around the world in order that they may be able to worship in peace and security.
Tom Kent and Fraser Mustard

Bob Rae Toronto Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, last night, Canada lost two of its most creative progressive thinkers with the passing of Tom Kent and Fraser Mustard.
Tom Kent served all Canadians in his many roles as journalist, editor, public servant and author, but his greatest legacy was his role in working on the groundbreaking social innovations that characterized the Pearson administration, including our national medicare system and the Canada Pension Plan.
Tom never tired from his crusade, working later in Cape Breton, and authoring solutions for social reforms well into his eighties. I can tell members that he never shrunk from challenging the leaders of today when he felt they were not doing enough to advance the cause of progress.
I also want to mark the passing of another great social reformer, and a good friend, Dr. Fraser Mustard who sadly also left us last night.
Fraser helped to build McMaster's medical school, was an pioneer in occupational health, the development of centres of excellence, and can really be called the father of early childhood development in Canada. He advised governments in Canada and around the world and was a tireless worker for better policy and better lives.
All Canadians owe Tom Kent and Dr. Fraser Mustard a debt of gratitude for their pivotal roles in shaping our nation.
Let us all resolve to take up the torch of these two great men and resolve to strive to make Canada an even more equitable, more just and more progressive nation.

Ryan Leef Yukon, YT
Mr. Speaker, last week, I had the honour of being in my wonderful riding of Yukon. During the busy week, I was pleased to announce $900,000 in federal government funding to Yukon College for geoscience and geohydro technology programs. This will help Yukon students and workers gain certification for highly skilled work in the mining industry. An additional $1.3 million for training simulators were given to the Yukon Mine Training Association, both were through CanNor.
While the member for Western Arctic criticizes CanNor, votes against the Dempster highway extension from Inuvik to Tukoyaktuk and refrains from standing to vote for his constituents to end the long gun registry, our government, our Prime Minister and this member of Parliament is making the north and the people there a priority.
Campaign Financing

Ève Péclet La Pointe-de-l'Île, QC
Mr. Speaker, the Conservative Party pleaded guilty to election fraud in the amount of $1.3 million. The party had to pay a $52,000 fine. And yet the Conservatives referred to this as a victory. Really? A victory? Certainly, the fine is not that big a deal for a party that kept $187,000 in illegal rebates from Canadian taxpayers.
The hon. member for Cypress Hills—Grasslands' campaign received $1,900 in illegal rebates. The hon. member still owes Canadians this money. The hon. member for Beauce's campaign owes Canadian taxpayers $3,000. The campaign of the hon. member for Lotbinière—Chutes-de-la-Chaudière and that of the Minister of Veterans Affairs each owe Canadian taxpayers $14,000.
Taxpayers should never have to foot the bill for politics. The Prime Minister must ensure that every penny that was taken from taxpayers is given back to them immediately.
New Democratic Party of Canada
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Rob Clarke Desnethé—Missinippi—Churchill River, SK
Mr. Speaker, the anti-trade NDP is at it again. With its anti-Canada campaign in Washington, the NDP continues to attack the Canadian economy and good jobs. Members of the NDP do not just want to put hundreds of thousands of Canadians who work directly in the oil sands out of work, but they also want to shut down a further seven major industries, including Canada's mining sector, the seal industry, the forestry sector in B.C., auto manufacturing, the trucking industry, the nuclear sector and the GM food sector. The NDP opposed creating jobs and it is actively attacking Canada abroad.
Ironically, even the private-sector union bosses disagree with the NDP and its job-killing stance against the oil sands. Unions representing hundreds of thousands of engineers, electrical workers, pipe-fitters and other trades are lining up against the NDP attacks on their jobs.
Undermining the economy and attacking Canadian jobs are yet more worrying examples that the ineffective, disunited NDP is unfit to govern.
Oral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Nycole Turmel Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, day after day Canadian families sit and watch as their private savings evaporate on the stock market. Hard-hit families do not know how they will pay the bills, let alone how they will afford to retire.
Instead of taking practical steps to strengthen the guaranteed CPP and QPP, the government wants them to roll the dice with even more of their retirement savings.
Why is the out-of-touch Prime Minister forcing Canadians to play retirement roulette on the tumbling TSX?
Oral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Calgary Southwest
Stephen Harper Prime Minister
Mr. Speaker, I have absolutely no idea what the Leader of the Opposition is talking about.
What I do know is that today the government announced another step forward on the pooled registered retirement savings plan, something that has been welcomed by pension experts and the small business community across the country. Canadians are looking for options. Canadians are not looking for a hike in their CPP premiums, as advocated by the NDP.
Oral Questions
2:20 p.m.
Nycole Turmel Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, the facts speak for themselves. In the last quarter alone, the CPP outperformed the markets ten to one.
The markets are tanking around the world, but the Conservatives want Canadians to invest even more of their hard-earned money in those markets without any guarantee that doing so will pay off one day.
What is the government's plan for families who are bogged down in debt and do not even have any money to save? What does the government suggest they do? Should they never retire?

Beautiful. Our Bible study group did a study on the
Beautiful. Our Bible study group did a study on the concept of the "Kinsman Redeemer" that is carried throughout the Bible and a great deal of it revealed God linking physical land/territory with all aspects of identity of His people--inseparable in regards to their covenant (old and new) with God and their moral obligations. It developed a deeper sense of identity with and moral responsibility toward everything in the world.

Your thoughts are a reminder that teaching is not a job,
Your thoughts are a reminder that teaching is not a job, but a vocation, if done well. SOF airs on my public radio station on Sunday mornings at 10. I could not find meaning in attending institutional "church" services. I have listened to SOF for the last two years "religiously" and have gained more insight and made life changes that have helped me feel more in harmony with the Divine. I usually listen alone, but this week my 17 year old daughter joined me due to her interest in the message of Food Inc. and her love of Wendell Berry and his writings. It has been rewarding to watch her discover that unlike her subjects in school, religion cannot fit into a neat box. I'm sure she will tune in again as she continues to shape her own way of BEING in this world.. this is certainly my hope.

I liked "Speaking of Faith" as a name for the program,
I liked "Speaking of Faith" as a name for the program, but "BEING" is interesting and is growing on me. FAITH is very fundamental aspect of my life and I liked the current name; but FAITH is part of my being. BEING! Being who we are whenever and wherever. Being in the present. Being present. The state of Being is all there is really - it is now. Being in the present, Being in the past, Being in the future. BEING will be a Good Name for this wonderful program that you have nurtured for so long. If it will allow this thought provoking program to reach a broader audience and allow others to benefit from it, let it become BEING. Thank you for the wonderful experience of your program.

A dog chasing its tail or spinning in circles may be seen as a funny quirk by some pet owners, but this habit can actually be an indicator of medical or behavioral issues, reports VCA Animal Hospitals.
Tail chasing or spinning is officially considered one of many possible compulsive disorders in dogs. These disorders can be relatively harmless on their own or may point to more serious medical problems. Some breeds of dogs, such as bull terriers, may be genetically predisposed to these disorders and may have other behavioral problems such as aggression. .
If you've noticed that your dog has begun to chase its tail, a visit to your veterinarian is recommended. Tail chasing may be a clinical sign of certain seizure disorders, or could indicate that there is a painful problem near the dog's anus that it is trying to address. A veterinarian will be able to accurately diagnose any underlying issues and ensure that there is no other problem with the animal.
Once those issues are ruled out, pet owners should start thinking about why the dog would chase its tail. In some cases, the dog may have been unknowingly trained to do so in the past – for example, if the owner gave the dog a treat or reward shortly after chasing its tail. It may also be the result of the dog not getting enough exercise or play - it's simply entertaining itself. More interaction and exercise can eliminate the trait in many dogs, reports VCA. Head halters can be useful and allow owners to interrupt the cycle of chasing or spinning and redirect the dog to a more appropriate activity.

Television is often lamented for its propensity to exaggerate the mundane and the ordinary. Yet when it comes to something as routinely downplayed and unfairly pooh-poohed as our daily work—the "rat race," the "grindstone," yadda-yadda—I wonder if television's over-the-top tendencies might be just what we need to reorient our thinking about the broader significance of our work.
As I've argued previously, we face a constant temptation to limit our economic endeavors to the temporal and the material, focusing only on "putting in our 40," working for the next paycheck, and tucking away enough cash for a cozy retirement. Whether we know it or not, plenty of transcendent activity is also taking place in such efforts, whether through our service, creativity, productivity, collaboration, relationship-building, or plain-old ordinary exchange. How we think about the greater significance and spiritual potential of our efforts is bound to impact how we behave in our daily efforts, either pushing us in the direction of earthbound toil or unleashing us further toward transcendent ends.
If, as Lester DeKoster puts it, work is the "meaning of our lives," whether we're scrubbing toilets or selling high-priced widgets, it would seem that such a striking and all-encompassing reality deserves at least a little drama. Thus, below is a select list of my favorite TV shows that draw out some of these features (some more sincerely and effectively than others). None are "Christian" in any explicit sense, and each involves its own share of tasteless theatrics and contrived scenarios, but each nevertheless illuminates some untold truths about the significance of our work beyond the merely material.
(Tip to producers: Add a concerted focus on the will of God and the power of the Holy Spirit to any one of these shows, and that Emmy is a shoo-in.)
5. Dirty Jobs
Dirty Jobs host Mike Rowe is passionate about "celebrating hard work and skilled labor," and by trying his hand at some of the dirtiest jobs in the land, from coal miner to sewage sifter to animal-husbandry parts-grabber, he has drawn enormous attention to some of the less celebrated and most essential jobs around. Each has its own unique requirements and pay scale, but plenty of Rowe's undertakings involve manual labor that we might be tempted to label "undignified" or "dehumanizing." Yet even the persistently cheery Rowe—who is surely well paid for his toil—is rarely able to outdo the positive attitudes of these workers. These are folks who ooze with passion, pride, and an acute awareness of the pressing needs they are meeting in their local communities and society at large. (more…)

Mr. Naffziger has also been the primary architect behind a number of key power reduction and management technologies being deployed AMD's upcoming processors codenamed Llano, Orochi and Trinity. He is the named inventor on 92 issued patents, 13 of which were filed while he was at AMD, and has contributed more than 25 IEEE publications and presentations to the industry.

According to NFL Network's Michael Lombardi, the Browns are "so integrated into the West Coast system that their predictability is becoming legendary around the league."
Lombardi puts Browns film on every week, calls a former NFL coach and relays the personnel group, formation, ball location and motion. The former coach has been correct "95 percent" of the time in guessing the Browns' play.

Is 'reviewer' dining card bribery?
Yelp and local restaurateurs are questioning the ethics of a Manhattan Beach startup that has created a card for online reviewers to flash around to obtain special perks.
"ReviewerCard," created by Brad Newman, gives active posters on sites such as Yelp the ability to leverage their influence when entering a business or restaurant. The card, which costs $100, allows members to "enjoy the premium service they deserve, while continuing to provide insightful, honest and valuable reviews to other customers," the website states.
Yelp and TripAdvisor said the program violates their user policies.
"Asking businesses for special treatment or free services in exchange for a review of the experience violates our Terms of Service and can violate Federal Trade Commission guidelines," Yelp spokeswoman Stephanie Ichinose told the Register when alerted about the site.
TripAdvisor said ReviewerCard runs "contrary to the spirit" of its site. "It is against our policies for travelers to attempt to gain special perks from a business with the express or implicit threat of a negative review," the company told the Register.
Local restaurant operators are calling the card a threat to their hard-working staffs.
"Our staff treats everyone like a VIP," said chef Greg Daniels of Haven Gastropub in Orange and Pasadena. "This card makes it impossible to treat a table in a normal fashion. We would just ask them to leave. I just don't think it is right to bribe a business in this manner."
Joe Manzella, owner of The Catch in Anaheim and TAPS Fish House & Brewery in Brea, said he'd take the same approach.
"Anyone trying to take advantage of my business under the pretense of a review will be escorted out of the building. This business, on its best day, is brutally difficult as it is," Manzella said.
Alex Benes, a partner at Wood Ranch BBQ & Grill, said every diner deserves special treatment – card or no card. While he wouldn't turn anyone away, Benes said the card "smacks of an attempt to gain some sort of advantage based on an implicit threat."
Newman has not returned repeated requests for comment. According to his website, the idea for ReviewerCard came after Newman had a bad experience at a café in France. He told the waiter he planned to write a review about the appalling service. The threat prompted apologies by the manager, who "comped" his meal.
"Brad believes this was only the result of mentioning he was going to review their business online," the website states.
According to ReviewerCard's application process, potential cardholders are screened for their writing history on numerous consumer-user sites such as Yelp, Urbanspoon, Zagat, TripAdvisor and OpenTable.
It's unclear if Newman has issued cards to anyone in Orange County. But if he has, expect a lukewarm reception, at best.
"We don't like to play games," Daniels said.
Fans of cheap wine have indulged in "Two Buck Chuck" at Trader Joe's for 11 years. But if you've shopped at a Trader Joe's lately, you might notice that the Charles Shaw wines have gone up in price. Trader Joe's said stores in California have bumped up the price from $1.99 to $2.49.
The grocer said the chain strives to provide outstanding value to its customers. However, retail prices change "when our costs change," spokeswoman Alison Mochizuki said.
"In the case of Shaw in California, we've held a $1.99 retail price for 11 years," she said. "Quite a bit has happened during those years and the move to $2.49 allows us to offer the same quality that has made the wine famous the world over."
