When modifying code to work for users who use another language, it is frequently necessary to reorder the "data" parts of the output to match the syntax of the language of output. For example, if I am talking about some chunk of data as a thing being acted upon (linguistically, a direct object) by a procedure (linguistically, a verb) in my debugger error messages, then the verb should come before the direct object in English, but the verb should come after the direct object in German. Since both of these (data and function name) are likely to be parameters of the format statement, being unable to reorder them by just changing the format string causes a problem. When finished, I'd like to be able to write something like: (let ((language 'en )) (display (format (strings "sorry, can't ~1a the object ~2a" language) errproc errdata))) Because this would allow all the localization can be done by providing additional format strings for different languages, without the need to rearrange code. Specifically, this would allow the same code to operate in multiple languages as long as a binding for the variable 'language' were in scope and the strings function had lookup tables for format strings in the specified language. (I'm assuming use of the same language specifiers as used in the HTTP protocol). Bear (considering writing that SRFI for the (strings) function...)

Gertrude D. Fitch
Gertrude D. Fitch, 86, formerly of Jamestown, passed peacefully on Monday, April 22, 2013, at LifeCare Hospital of Plano, Texas.
A near lifelong Jamestown N.Y. area resident, she was born March 21, 1927, in Jamestown, the daughter of Vincent and Mary Zboch Morris.
Gertrude attended Falconer Schools, and was a communicant at St. James Church. She was married to Albert W. Fitch of the Tunkhannock, Pa. area, her lifelong spouse of 52 years, who predeceased her in 2000.
She is predeceased by five sisters: Elizabeth Taylor, Sophie Johnson, Mary Frey, Helen Mitchell, Frances Sorenberger and Anna Smith; and four brothers: Joseph, Peter and Bernard Blaze and Alfred Morris. She leaves behind a son, Theodore Fitch of Belcamp, Md.; and three daughters: Marjorie Liuzzo of Chandler, Ariz., Helen Calanni of Kerens, Texas, and Alberta Hulings of Jamestown, N.Y. She is also survived by five grandchildren and seven great- grandchildren.
Gertrude loved cooking for family and friends, and was affectionately known locally as "Gertie," a well-liked chef of homestyle meals at the New Way Hotel in Falconer, N.Y. Early in her marriage, Gertrude moved from Erie, Pa., back to Jamestown, residing initially at 108 Tower St., and then later at 31 Loxley Court.
With the passing of her husband, Gertrude in 2003 began spending the majority of her time with her caregiving daughter, Helen Calanni and son-in-law, Dan Calanni in Plano, Texas. Always a stray animal lover, she enjoyed the last years of her life in the Dallas, Texas, area surrounded by her favorite three Bengals cats and a recent Chocolate Lab puppy.
Her funeral Mass will be held Saturday, April 27, 2013, in St. James Catholic Church, 27 Allen St., Jamestown, where the Rev. Darrell G. Duffy will officiate. Burial will be in Mt. Olivet Cemetery.
The family will receive friends from 6-8 p.m. Friday in the Falconer Funeral Home.
In her memory donations can be made to the SPCA of Jamestown; or the Second Chance SPCA of Plano, Texas.

Topic: The mother of all autocompletes
So with a restful design it's often hard to find a place for autocompletion. If you pass it to the current controller, it tries to find a model. If you create a custom action, it ugs up your controller. So what to do? Simple. Create an autocompletion controller and let it do all the work. Check it.
class AutocompleteController < ApplicationController
def index
params[:id] =~ /(\w+)_(\w+)/
render :json => $1.to_s.camelize.constantize.find(:all).map{|x| x[$2]}.to_json
It's pretty slick. Basically what it does is you pass it a name say "sport_name" and then it maps it to the Sport model retrieves all the names and then renders it to json. Now the fun part. The javascript. This is all done in jquery so you'll need that if you want this awesomeness on your site. Also you'll need the jquery auto complete plugin, I user this version(http://www.pengoworks.com/workshop/jquery/autocomplete.htm). Then just use this javascript:
var name = this.name.match(/\[(\w+)\]$/)[1];
var id = this.id;
type: "GET",
url: "/autocomplete/"+name,
dataType: "json",
success: function(msg) {
$("input[@id=\""+id+"\"]").autocompleteArray(msg, { delay:10, minChars:1, matchSubset:1, autoFill:true, maxItemsToShow:10});
Note: you have to access the fields with [@id =] because of all the brackets if you have any nested elements.
Then all you have to do is give your fields the class of autocomplete and make sure they are name "object_method" where object is the model and method is the property. To give you a brief overview of what the code actually does. It finds any input field with the class of auto complete and splits the name to get path for autocomplete. Then it makes an ajax call to get the data for the autocomplete search. Finally once the data is retrieved it attaches the autocomplete behavior to the field. Sure you could use the rails helpers, but this is lightning fast and is completely unobtrusive.

Avant-garde hairstyle with angular cut fringe
Color and cut take center stage in this avant-garde, short, women's hairstyle. A bright tangerine hair color immediately snags the eye. The cut, however, has as much impact as the color. An undercut is revealed under a sweep of cropped, straight tangerine locks on one side. The hair has been swept over to one side, then cropped in a curve, so that it perfectly sets off the bare, buzzed skin below. A fringe is formed when the longest fall of hair over the forehead is cut at an angle and ends in a point just below the cheekbone.

Sheriffs should resist new gun laws
To the editor:
There are 62 counties in New York. Each county has an elected sheriff. The sheriff is the highest law-enforcement officer in the county. He does not work for the state of New York. He does not work for President Obama. A sheriff's lawful authority in his county supersedes that of any state or federal law enforcement.
That being the case, county sheriffs have the ability to be an effective constitutional line of defense against tyranny. They can interpose to prevent citizens in their county from being victimized by higher levels of government. They can tell those authorities to back off. This is nothing new. It has been done before. There is legal precedent.
Gov. Cuomo's new gun legislation is the most alarming threat to constitutional freedom that I have ever experienced. It amounts to harassment and unmitigated tyranny against every law-abiding gun owner in New York state. The sheriffs of New York can stop this unjust law in its tracks by refusing to participate with the state in its schemes to defraud responsible citizens of their Second Amendment rights. More than 50 county sheriffs throughout the country have already committed to doing this.
I encourage all concerned New Yorkers to contact their county sheriff and voice support for him to oppose gun-control tyranny from Albany or Washington.
Yes, this is a serious measure to take. But the legislative oppression that law-abiding gun owners are facing demands a serious response.

Feather Hair Extensions: A Trend Worth Killing For?
The following article was written by Keegan Baur.
Would you support the slaughter of thousands of animals each week just so that you could jump on board with the latest fashion trend? That's exactly what girls are doing when they purchase feather hair extensions for their locks.
Upon first glance, feather hair extensions might seem innocent enough, but they are in fact the reason that many roosters lose their lives. Roosters used to make these extensions are bred and genetically altered to produce long, luxurious saddle feathers (the ones on their backsides, which can take years to grow) before they are killed and de-feathered for their precious plumage. What costs these animals their lives in turn costs anywhere from $40 to $500 per saddle and can only be worn by the consumer for a scant two or three months.
Fortunately, you don't need blood on your hands in order to strut your stuff like a peacock! Stay tuned for our DIY ribbon version of these accessories or check out these alternative rooster feather extensions.
Read more about this fashion fad on The PETA Files.
Commenting is closed.
There's a cruelty-free company called Picasso Hair Feathers that sells strands that are colored and printed to look like grizzly rooster feathers. I think these look WAY better than any real feather would…. plus I wouldn't want anyone to think I was wearing real hair feathers from birds that are slaughtered simply for hair accessories.
I bought mine from http://www.picassohairfeathers.com a few months ago. I luv 'em!
It's going to be ending of mine day, but before ending I am reading this impressive piece of writing to improve my experience.
You can get synthetic hair faux feathers from most places now they are dyed to look like feathers and look really nice
Out with real feathers, in with faux! We did it with fur, we can do it with feathers! I bought some amazing and perfectly imitated faux feather clip-in extensions on http://www.facebook.com/dazzlestrandz. And they were really cheap!

I am in disagreement with this technique. It does not allow for the removal of the tough, bitter stem/end of the tomato.
My stick blender does not heat up the tomatoes, and I always taste from the can before adding salt or sugar to balance. Not only do you need a fork and knife, you need a spoon for those half-cooked pizzas. No thanks.
Do you use all the liquid from the tomato can in your sauce as it appears the gentleman in this video does, or just crush the tomatoes with a small amount of the liquid...I have found that my sauce is much too thin for my liking if I use much of the liquid. I generally pull out the tomatoes, crush them and maybe add a small amount of the liquid, maybe I am wrong? opinions?

Radical liberals want to make America a better place, but their utopian social engineering leads, ironically, to greater human suffering.
From Karl Marx to Barack Obama, Horowitz shows how the idealistic impulse to make the world a better place gives birth to the twin cultural pathologies of cynicism and nihilism and is the chief source of human suffering. A former liberal himself, Horowitz recounts his own brushes with radicalism and offers unparalleled insight into the disjointed ideology of liberal elites through case studies of well-known radial leftists, including Christopher Hitchens, feminist Bettina Aptheker, leftist academic Cornel West, and others.
Exploring the origin and evolution of radical liberals and their progressive ideology, Radicals illustrates how liberalism is not only intellectually crippling for its adherents but devastating to society.
David Horowitz is one of America's most original and iconoclastic political commentators. He is the best-selling coauthor of The Rockefellers and The Kennedys and the president of the Center for the Study of Popular Culture. He lives in Los Angeles.
©2012 David Horowitz (P)2012 Blackstone Audio, Inc.
"David Horowitz is one of America's most important and interesting thinkers." (Bernard Goldberg, best-selling author)
Thinker | Marketer | Copywriter
"Radically Insightful!"
While this book started off a bit slow, once you get past the first or second chapter you won't be able to put it down.
Absolutely loved the Cornel West chapter. But more than that Horowitz did a fantastic job of threading the needle between marxism and collegiate black studies, feminist studies and American studies courses.
In fact, the only reason I didn't give it an all around five is because of the slow beginning. But outside of that Radicals: Portraits of a Destructive Passion is a real winner!
"An American political "MUST READ"!"
Captivating, insightful, noteworthy
A "MUST READ" for anyone truly interested in understanding America's radical left.
I find that many people do not really have an accurate understanding of the principles that motivate America's political left. Horowitz lays bare the inner workings of the radical mind and explains the philosophical underpinning behind the unobtainable Utopian fantasy that drives leftist policy and practice. The book pulls together past and present into a coherent expose of contemporary socialist / progressive thought. The portion on Saul Alinsky and how his disciples have emerged to shape modern America's ominous collectivist trajectory is particularly valuable to the understanding of both how we got here as a nation and where the radicals would have us go next.
I thought I knew a fair bit about David Horowitz and that period of history, but this book was an eye-opener. David Horowitz has such inherent decency and, of course, great intelligence and experience, that I began to understand the unique role he is playing. His writing makes complex ideas clear and understandable. We are so lucky that he still, in his 70's, is writing and helping keep this country on track with his insight. Some of the book gets a little personal between the writer and subject, but that's to be expected, given who he was, and he handles that aspect well. The section on Saul Alinsky is something everyone needs to hear and his piece helps us understand the current state of affairs in North America. After finishing this book, I've plunged immediately into another of David Horowitz's books, because one wasn't enough! The narrator mispronounced a few words, which dropped my score for performance to a 4, but otherwise he was fine.

Learn how to make three healthy and simple pasta salads without sacrificing classic flavors.
Pasta salads go hand in hand with summer picnics, BBQ�s, and family reunions. These classic pasta recipes have great potential to be healthy whole grain side dishes, however, it�s the toppings and dressings we choose that often turn them into calorie-laden servings. So if you�re watching your waistline, or simply opting for a nutrient-dense whole foods diet, then you�re going to love the three incredibly simple pasta dishes below. [caption id="attachment_330971" align="aligncenter" width="493"] All photography by McKel Hill[/caption] I like to use gluten-free variations of pasta such as brown rice, quinoa, buckwheat (soba), or corn pasta. Of course, you can use whole-wheat pasta, but I dare you to try one of these ancient grain pastas. Also, have fun with the shapes of the pasta, I like using penne or fusilli varieties because they do a great job at catching all the good bits and dressings. Garden Pasta Salad Recipe This is a light and bright pasta salad perfect for sneaking in extra vegetables at the picnic table. The crunch of the seeds and creamy avocado mix perfectly with the crunchy veggies. Italian Pasta Salad Recipe This pasta is essentially your traditional, calorie-laden Italian pasta turned vegan! Summery tomatoes and fresh basil make this dish light and delicious. Try adding in chicken, beans, tempeh or other forms of protein for a boost. Asian Sesame Pasta Salad This pasta is equally delicious warm or cool and great for peanut lovers. It's rich in fiber, protein, and healthy fats. Try adding in tofu, chicken, or edamame for added protein. McKel Hill, MS, RD, LDN�is the creator of�Nutrition Stripped, a plant-based, whole foods and gluten-free food blog specializing in nourishing recipes and nutrition services. You can keep up with her on�Facebook,�Instagram,�Twitter, and�Pinterest. More on Pasta Salads... This article originally appeared as on Relish

Spring and the closing of the school year is a very busy time for everybody, including the Girl Scouts. Many girls are in the process of finishing awards and want to be recognized for their hard work and dedication to making their community a better place. Girl Scouts of Southern Alabama is very proud of all of these young ladies and want to see them complete their awards successfully within the required time frame. Please keep the following deadlines in mind:
· Bronze Awards must be completed and all paperwork submitted to the council before September 30 of the girl's 7th grade year
· Silver awards must be completed and approved by the council before September 30 of the 10th grade year
· Gold Awards must be completed and approved by the council before September 30 of the calendar year the girl graduates or turns 18.
Although we do not approve Bronze Awards, girls are required to submit them to the council. Please make sure that the girls fill out their planners completely in their own words.
Please keep in mind that Silver awards must be approved by the council before awarding them. Gold awards must be approved by a committee and the council before planning the awards ceremony. The council asks that paperwork on these awards be submitted two months ahead of the awards ceremony. This is to leave ample time in case the girl has to revise or make additions to her project. Should this present a problem, please contact Mary Anne Brutkiewicz for advice at 800-239-6636, ext: 1202.

Is Bill Ackman Right? Following the Herbalife Claims
We've heard time and time again claims from Bill Ackman that Herbalife is a pyramid scheme, while the company and Carl Ichan say those claims are without merit. In March, the FTC opened an investigation and the Illinois Attorney General has been looking into complaints filed by a group of 13 Latinos who claim they were duped out of their life's savings and Herbalife is to blame.Read More

require 'bigdecimal/jacobian'
Provides methods to compute the Jacobian matrix of a set of equations at a point x. In the methods below:
f is an Object which is used to compute the Jacobian matrix of the equations. It must provide the following methods:
returns the values of all functions at x
returns 0.0
returns 1.0
returns 2.0
returns 10.0
returns the convergence criterion (epsilon value) used to determine whether two values are considered equal. If |a-b| < epsilon, the two values are considered equal.
x is the point at which to compute the Jacobian.
fx is f.values(x).
Computes the derivative of f at x. fx is the value of f at x.
# File bigdecimal/lib/bigdecimal/jacobian.rb, line 44 def dfdxi(f,fx,x,i) nRetry = 0 n = x.size xSave = x[i] ok = 0 ratio = f.ten*f.ten*f.ten dx = x[i].abs/ratio dx = fx[i].abs/ratio if isEqual(dx,f.zero,f.zero,f.eps) dx = f.one/f.ten if isEqual(dx,f.zero,f.zero,f.eps) until ok>0 do s = f.zero deriv = [] nRetry += 1 if nRetry > 100 raise "Singular Jacobian matrix.

Mike Moreno - Studio Session
February 6, 2008. Posted by Angelika Beener.Add new comment | Filed under: awe, culture music, drums, fabulous guitarist, Jazz Alive, john ellis, kendrick, Live Music, lyricism, music release, musician, saxophonist john, Studio Sessions, synergy, tunes, world culture
If you checked out the list of my Top 10 favorite albums of 2007, you remember that Mike Moreno was among them. For those of you who are not familiar, here's your chance to check out this fabulous guitarist. The synergy and fire that this band brings is reminiscent and fresh at the same time, as is Moreno's brilliant playing. Saxophonist John Ellis' tone is one of the sweetest I've ever heard, and Moreno's tunes are classics in the making. Don't be surprised if you see them popping up in various musician's repertoires in the near future. Kendrick Scott's lyricism and dynamics on the drums are awe-inspiring, as usual.
Hear the studio session with WBGO's Josh Jackson. And if you dig it as much as I do, be sure to grab his World Culture Music release, Between the Lines. Let me know what you think!

I'm not sure what genome sequence has been altered in the Ellis family. Saxophonist John Ellis is enough of a character. But his brother wins the prize. Watch the video below, and I think you'll agree.

I live in Perú and had to travel to Argentina to see PAul MCCartney live for the first time in my life!!. I've been a Beatles fanatic since I was 11-12 and now in my early 30's finally have the chance to make my dream come true. It was nor or never, remember that the last time Paul came to Southamerica was in 1993. And I think he will never come back here anymore..very sadly to say.
And it's a pity he wont come here more often....because among other things the crowds in Brazil and Argentina are very energetic, they chant and jump all the concert and give you a unique experience.
In the beginning of the concert I was ready for venus and mars....and the first surprise of the night was that he began with Magical mistery tour....I dont know if for the 1st time on the trour...but it was such a great feeling to be surprised like this. I was also celebrating my birthday that day (11/11) so it was truly the best celebration and the best day of my life.
I met a lot of people from Chile, Colombia, Perú and other countries that gathered together with that common bond that is music and in this particular case The Beatles.
The show was excellent..more than I expected (given the fact that he gave a 3 hours show the previous night). He even played Bluebird. 35 or 36 songs and the 2:50 show happened like a dream...all the people around me screaming and hysterical....we couldn't believe our eyes.
The band was excellent as always is, Rusty is a great guitar player and has lots of charisma with the audience.
I want the people from southamerica to share their experiencies on the argentinean or brazil concerts here. And somehow let Paul know how important he is to us and the power that he has to change our lives and make them a lot better.
Best regards,

Somali Week International Soccer Tournament
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Roy Cullen Etobicoke North, ON
Mr. Speaker, I would like to draw to the attention of the House the Somali Week International Soccer Tournament held each year at Centennial Park Stadium in Etobicoke and hosted by the Somali Sports and Cultural Association.
This year the number of teams participating from June 28 to July 15 has grown from 12 to 16 teams. These teams come from Europe, Britain, Sweden and Holland, the United States Boston, Washington, Atlanta, Minnesota and Columbus, Ohio, and Canada, Ottawa, Toronto, Mississauga and Calgary.
The Somali week tournament was established in the early nineties in order to: first, entertain the community during the summer; second, to create an environment where the community can mix together to build social cohesion; and third, to provide youngsters with exercise and camaraderie for a positive, constructive experience.
To date the tournament has been run without financial backing from federal, provincial or municipal governments.
Good luck to all the teams participating. We will see them there.
British Columbia
Statements By Members
June 18th, 2007 / 2:10 p.m.
James Moore Port Moody—Westwood—Port Coquitlam, BC
Mr. Speaker, in last year's election we promised we would stand up for British Columbia and deliver results: promise made, promise kept.
We promised dredging on the Fraser River, done. We promised to back the 2010 games, done. We promised to back the Pacific Gateway, done, and with $400 million in extra money. We promised to cut taxes and pay down Canada's debt, done. We promised action on softwood lumber and the pine beetle, done. We promised to get tough on crime, done. In fact, we have tabled more meaningful justice bills in the last year than the Liberals did in the previous 13 years. We promised to protect our coast, done. With new coast guard vessels and a ban on sewage and pollution dumping on our coast, we took action.
The facts are clear. Conservatives know British Columbia. We are standing up for B.C. and we are getting results for all British Columbians.
The Environment
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Wayne Marston Hamilton East—Stoney Creek, ON
Mr. Speaker, it is long past time for the government to start cleaning up the air in my community of Hamilton.
Just a week ago, residents of the beach strip in my riding observed a tall column of black coming their way from across the harbour. This was no tornado. Residents observed this black cloud form and grow as it passed over the coal piles of Stelco and Dofasco.
Soot fallout is so regular in the north end of Hamilton that residents are trying everything from access to information requests to find out what is being done to pursuing legal action to clean up the air.
Randle Reef in Hamilton Harbour needs $90 million to clean it up, but in the last budget it received a mere $11 million of the toxic sediment cleanup fund.
It is estimated that poor air quality in Hamilton causes 300 deaths a year. Hoping that air quality concerns will just blow away is costing the Conservative government hundreds of millions of dollars in health care costs each and every year, not to mention the environmental impact.
Whether natural or man-made, whether local, regional or international in cause, it is time for the government to step up, work with all parties and all stakeholders, roll up its sleeves, take out its pocketbook and clean up Hamilton Harbour.
Canadian Skills Competition
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Nancy Karetak-Lindell Nunavut, NU
Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate all the team Nunavut participants in the 13th Canadian Skills Competition held in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan from June 6 to 9, where they were received with very warm hospitality.
Sixteen talented students and apprentices from across my riding showcased their skills in a variety of skilled trade and technology contest areas, from carpentry to baking to graphic design.
Nunavut received two silver medals. I would like to congratulate Lucy Idlout, in post-secondary hairstyling, and the TV and video production team of Lauren Solski and Bjorn Simonsen, all from Iqaluit. Lauren and Bjorn also received the prestigious "Best in the Region" award.
Thanks to all the instructors, advisers, sponsors and volunteers.
I ask all my colleagues in the House to congratulate these talented competitors, along with all my constituents of Nunavut.
Constitution Act, 1982
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Carole Lavallée Saint-Bruno—Saint-Hubert, QC
Mr. Speaker, to mark the 25th anniversary of the proclamation of the Constitution Act, 1982, the National Assembly of Quebec unanimously adopted a motion on June 13, 2007, reaffirming its position on this matter. It reads:
That the National Assembly of Québec recall that, 25 years ago this year, the Constitution Act, 1982 was enacted without Québec's approval, and that it formally reaffirm that it never acceded to this Act, whose effect was to diminish the powers and rights of Québec without its consent, and that the Constitution Act, 1982 still remains unacceptable for Québec.
This Conservative government must understand that simply voting in favour of a motion recognizing Quebec as a nation is not enough to show full respect for Quebec. In the past few months alone, the Bloc Québécois and National Assembly of Quebec have had to remind this government on several occasions that Quebec's jurisdictions must be respected and that Quebec is still not a signatory to the Constitution Act, 1982.
The Franco-Ontarian Festival
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Mauril Bélanger Ottawa—Vanier, ON
Mr. Speaker, from Friday night to Sunday, Ottawa hosted the 32nd Franco-Ontarian Festival.
Young and old, francophones and their friends turned out in great numbers at Festival Plaza in the heart of the city.
This festival is a collective expression of inexhaustible vitality. It features local as well as international talent and is characterized by good humour, camaraderie and pride.
Local artists such as Véronic DiCaire, as well as stars from other countries, such as Patrick Bruel, thrilled our community.
Kudos to the volunteers, congratulations to the organizers, thank you to the sponsors and partners. Thanks as well to Mother Nature, but above all to the community, which made the 32nd festival a resounding success.
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Chris Warkentin Peace River, AB
Mr. Speaker, Canadians have been calling for justice reforms for over a decade and finally they have a government that is listening and acting.
Since coming to office, our government has advanced over a dozen criminal justice reforms that will protect Canadians and their families.
With the support of opposition members in this House, many of these bills have been passed on to the Senate for its consideration before becoming law.
However, the Liberal-dominated Senate seems to be maintaining its hard-earned reputation for stalling and delaying by employing unreasonable tactics to deny Canadians the protection they so rightly deserve.
It is so bad that even provincial justice ministers are demanding that the Senate do the right thing and pass these bills right now. Alberta's justice minister, Ron Stevens, is adding his voice of support, saying that the goals of our federal justice reforms to deter and denounce serious offenders are consistent with the desires expressed by many Albertans during recent public consultations.
I call on all Liberal senators, but specifically Alberta Liberal senators, to do the right thing and pass these important bills so that Albertans and Canadians can have this protection.
The Environment
Oral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Stéphane Dion Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, last week another damning report for the government indicated that its plan for reducing greenhouse gases cannot work. The C.D. Howe Institute said that with this plan, emissions will increase not only until 2012, not only until 2020, but until 2050.
My question is very direct and it is for the Prime Minister, and I am asking him to answer honestly for once. What does he have to say about the report of the C.D. Howe Institute?
The Environment
Oral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Calgary Southwest
Stephen Harper Prime Minister
Mr. Speaker, the Minister of the Environment is developing an effective plan. We are currently consulting with the provinces and industry to finalize the rules for the new regulatory system. Our system is consistent with the systems in the other major countries around the world.
The Environment
Oral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Stéphane Dion Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, maybe the Prime Minister could read that report and the Pembina report, which said that his plan is less effective by six to seven times than the Liberal plan his government killed, or the Deutsche Bank report, which said that indeed with his plan emissions will go up in Canada until at least 2020, or the Tyndall report, which said that the government's targets are weaker than what the oil sands industry had decided to do anyway.
It is time for the truth. With all this evidence, will the Prime Minister admit that his plan is set to fail and that it is a fraud?
The Environment
Oral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Calgary Southwest
Stephen Harper Prime Minister
Mr. Speaker, the entire world knows that the member opposite did not produce a plan in an entire decade.
This government has produced a plan. This government is in consultation with the provinces and industry on implementing the regulations, which we expect will be put in place this fall.
We obviously will look at the C.D. Howe report and other reports to make sure that we do in fact meet the targets, because we finally have a government with a plan committed to meeting the targets, just like the rest of the world, and that is a big change.
The Environment
Oral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Stéphane Dion Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister should definitely read these reports. He will learn that he killed a Liberal plan six to seven times more effective than the plan he is presenting.
He knows this plan is a fraud. That is why he shut down the environment committee last week, as he did before with the official languages committee, following the dirty tricks manual they have: committee manipulation for dummies.
It is time for the truth. Will the Prime Minister allow the committee to do its work, to hear Professor Jaccard and the C.D. Howe Institute and to complete a detailed examination--
The Environment

2:20 p.m.
Calgary Southwest
Stephen Harper Prime Minister
Mr. Speaker, I honestly do not know what the hon. member is even talking about.
What I can say is that the entire world knows and every expert knows that the member could not produce an emissions reduction plan in 10 years.
In a few months, this Minister of the Environment has produced a plan. We obviously will be refining that plan and we will be moving ahead with the world to meet global targets. The world is moving ahead. It has left that member behind.

The Music of Appalachia and a Surprise
Posted By grannypam on June 7, 2010
I was flattered several weeks ago, when Tipper, of The Blind Pig and the Acorn, asked me to write a guest post for her blog. To lay the groundwork, let me tell you a bit about Tipper, and her blog. Tipper's writing focuses on Appalachian culture, her art work, and the music her family makes. She offers a view of life in her section of Appalachia, a place secure and familiar to her, but perhaps not as familiar to some of her readers.
I have been reading Tipper's blog for quite some time, it was suggested to me by one of my genealogy blogging buddies, Apple. Apple writes the very interesting Apple's Tree. Ya gotta hand it to her, her creative title beats the dickens out of "Granny's Genealogy".
One thing that you learn very quickly after you begin blogging is about the community of bloggers, based on common interests and goals. Thus, it does not seem to much a stretch that a fellow genealogist might also read my personal blog, note my interest in music, and suggest I would enjoy Tipper's blog. Enjoy it I do; especially like her Appalachian Vocabulary Test posts. Language is an important part of how we live, and tells a lot about us, our culture and our feelings. It has been interesting for me to see how many of the phrases used in Tipper's neck of the woods also are used, or have been used by people in Michigan.
In addition, there are many things about the rural life in the Appalachians which have parallels to my own small town and rural Michigan home. That place where I lived for over forty years, and raised my children, is never far from me, and is very responsible for who I am. I do not see a lot of difference from the rural experience from one place in the country to another; or perhaps I especially notice the similarities between Tipper's Appalachian world and my northern Michigan home.
Back to the guest post, what an honor to be asked to write about music, especially about the music of the mountains. Papa and I have spent a substantial part of our forty-year marriage following, listening to, and learning about folk music. Bluegrass is our favorite, but we would have never heard any bluegrass without the folk movement of the '60's, which helped spread string band and bluegrass music to a wider audience.
For the post, I chose to relate a little of how a girl from northern Michigan could have heard or found an interest in the music tradition of the Appalachians , and to include interviews with two gentleman who are involved in keeping the music alive. A tip of the hat to Big Mike Ramsey (Son!) and Dr. Everett Lilly, of the Songcatchers, who both generously assisted me, put up with my pestering and questions, and gave me some insight into their efforts to bring the music of Appalachia to a wider audience.
Now, the best part, my post is part of a series on the Music of Appalachia, and there is a big giveaway to go along with the series. I know you are going to want to enter to win the beautiful guitar Tipper is giving away as a part of it all. So hop on over to The Blind Pig and the Acorn this morning, and give my little effort a read, leave a comment. Then, enter to win the guitar, and continue to drop by Tipper's blog often.
Thanks to Tipper, to Big Mike, to Dr. Lilly, and to all of you who will rush over, read my post, discover Tipper's great writing, and enter to win the guitar!

The survey used to gather information about how Utahns feel about their health plans comes from the Consumer Assessment of Health Plans Survey (CAHPS). This survey measures what members thought about the health care and services they received from their health plan in the past year. Issues coved by the survey include whether the member had a problem getting care when needed, or if their customer service needs were met. The survey also has overall ratings about the members' health plan, health care, doctor, and specialist.
The survey was conducted independently by DataStat Inc. a NCQA-certified vendor, which was chosen from several vendors that all submitted bids to the State of Utah. This survey contains responses from caregivers about their children who had received health care. The survey vendor selected a random sample from each health plan's enrollment database. Selected members were mailed a survey in February of 2011 and sent a reminder if they did not return the survey within two weeks. Follow-up phone calls with members who did not return a survey were conducted in April of 2011.
The State of Utah averages are calculated using the health plans that have participated in the survey, while the national averages are obtained from NCQA's Quality Compass.

Guests of Keswick Hall find themselves in the serene countryside of Central Virginia that Thomas Jefferson described as "the Eden of the United States".
The history of Charlottesville is intertwined with that of our nation through some of its foremost statesmen and national figures. The city was fortuitously spared the brunt of the American Civil War, allowing much of the original architecture to survive. American history buffs can experience this legacy throughout Charlottesville, in the nearby homes of three Founding Fathers, and Thomas Jefferson's "academic village" at the University of Virginia.
Area Attractions
With the Blue Ridge Mountains to the west and the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Ocean to the East, Charlottesville finds itself spectacularly well suited to the ancient art of viniculture. Visitors to Charlottesville have the opportunity to visit over 20 vineyards, breweries and cideries that dot the Albemarle County countryside. These are just a few favorites:
Charlottesville Historic Downtown Mall
Charlottesville's dining, entertainment and shopping District. A visit to Charlottesville isn't complete without a stop at the Downtown Mall. It is one of the most beautiful and successful pedestrian malls in the nation, and it's located in historic downtown Charlottesville.
A wonderful mix of restored and renovated buildings that typified small "downtowns" throughout the country can now be seen by visitors as they enjoy shopping, dining and visiting along the brick-paved pedestrian area. The Downtown Mall is a vibrant collection of more than 120 shops and 30 restaurants (many with outdoor cafes) housed in the historic buildings on and around old Main Street. Enjoy dining al fresco (in season) at a number of fine restaurants, try shopping at one of the unique boutiques or meander by flowing fountains.
For family fun, it's easy to cool off in our ice park or take your children to the hands-on Virginia Discovery Museum. Enjoy attending a movie or play in one of the many fine theaters, or simply relax under magnificent oak trees along the red bricked mall. Convenient parking in nearby garages and parking lots, as well as free trolley service connecting the Downtown Mall to the University of Virginia along West Main Street make a visit to downtown easy for visitors of all ages.
Barracks Road Shopping Center
More than 80 upscale shops, restaurants, and services (hours of operation vary by store, please contact individual retailers and restaurants for specific hours) including home furnishings and accessories, women's apparel, men's apparel, children's apparel and toys, jewelry and accessories, books, cards and gifts.
The home of Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States, author of the Declaration of Independence and the Statue for Religious Freedom, and the founder of the University of Virginia.
Ash-Lawn Highland
The home of James Monroe, the fifth President of the United States.
The lifelong home of James Madison, the Father of the Constitution, architect of the Bill of Rights and the fourth President of the United States.
UVA Rotunda and Central Grounds
The original Grounds of the University, including the Rotunda and the Lawn, were designed by Jefferson to be what he called an "Academical Village".
The University of Virginia
The history, the architecture and the grounds of the University of Virginia make it a must-see site during any visit to the region. Established by Thomas Jefferson in 1819, and opened in 1825 to 123 students, the University of Virginia, the only university in the United States to be designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, lends a stately grace to the city. The university became the first in the United States to allow specializations in a diversity of fields, breaking away from the traditional three subjects, Medicine, Law and Religion, offered by most at the time, and allowing students to study the likes of Astronomy, Architecture, Philosophy, and Political Science. Jefferson explained, "This institution will be based on the illimitable freedom of the human mind. For here we are not afraid to follow truth wherever it may lead."
183 years since it first opened its doors, the university is now home to some 20,000 students, has 10 schools in Charlottesville, and offers a myriad of different courses, having grown into a highly-respected place of learning.

Developing the Social Empathy Index: An Exploratory Factor Analysis
Social empathy, the ability to understand people from different socioeconomic classes and racial/ethnic backgrounds, with insight into the context of institutionalized inequalities and disparities, can inspire positive societal change and promote social well-being. The value of teaching social empathy and creating interventions that promote social empathy is enhanced by the ability to measure and assess it. This article provides a validation of the Social Empathy Index, a tool that practitioners can easily use to assess individuals' levels of interpersonal and social empathy. An exploratory factor analysis was used to validate the instrument and confirm the conceptual model for social empathy.

Hi people...
Just been wondering about this since starting gong-fu'ing (not sure if that's a word).
I've always understood and told others not to re-boil water as this can make 'flat' tasting tea because of lack of oxgen in the water.
Now from watching gong-fu videos and learning how to prepare pu-erh tea with boiling water it seems strange to now have to reboil the water in the kettle between rinsing/washing the pu-erh tea leaves and heating the cups and the various infusions/steepings.
Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Spirulina Hawaiian Pacifica
Posted by Reviewer2594107 on Aug 18, 2008
This product is amazing. It has balanced my blood, taken away my need for iron pills (have been anemic for 20 yrs), and so much more! I am never without this product! It is loaded with trace elements and minerals and vitamins. It makes my skin glow! takes away skin irritations, takes away the pain in my joints, and increases my memory. What more could I want in a product. When your doctor says: "I don't know what you are doing to correct this problem, but KEEP DOING IT!" and I know the only thing I did differently was take Spirulina - I guess I will follow the doctor's orders! By the way... only use the Hawaiian brand - it is NOTICEABLY DIFFERENT!
Secret to living forever
Posted by Reviewer2826685 on Jun 25, 2009
For more than 25 years I have been taking Nutrex Hawaiian Spirulina. Many other supplements have come and gone in my diet over those years. I can attribute my mental alertness and youthful energy to spirulina. The main thing people need to know about spirulina is that it is a total food. You cannot overdose by taking too much. It is not a concentrated vitamen or supplement. Spirulina provides hundreds of enzymes and trace minerals that science has yet to recognize the need for. Mother Nature knows best. I found iHerb.com to be the best priced, fastest delivery and freshest product supplier available anywhere, online or off. Thanks iHerb!
good but overpriced.
Posted by Reviewer1736992 on Dec 23, 2008
I've tried 4 different brands of Spirulina and this is on par with the rest. It doesn't really feel like it's worth the higher price compared to NOW Foods or Source Naturals brands. Both of which get the same spirulina from Cyanotech, and Cyanotech produces Nutrex Brand Spirulina. Nonetheless a good Spirulina albiet over priced.
Posted by Reviewer2421551 on Apr 26, 2011
I just love it. all my family take it everyday and are amazed with the effects. The symtoms I had such as fatigue, skin irritation, constipation....etc. they are all gone.
high quality and cheap, fast delivery to Norway.
Posted by Reviewer1861716 on Mar 18, 2012
I have been using 6 tabl of spirulina and 2 tabl of chlorella each day for 4 weeks now. My skin is much better from acne, energi levels are high, and i dont eat as much as i used to. Its very cheap and delivery to norway is about one week by airmail.
good natural green
Posted by Reviewer1178542 on Sep 05, 2010
This spirulina is easy to swallow. Since I started taking this every morning, my constipation is gone!
Spirulina Katrina
Posted by Reviewer1043400 on Aug 04, 2009
Only been using it for a short time but I noticed a difference in my skin straight away. Excellent product and really fresh.
A great way to get your 94 trace minerals and nutrients....
Posted by Reviewer1158445 on May 02, 2011
I wish everyone would take Spirulina everyday, it gives us so many much needed vitamins and nutrients. Some of the healthiest people I know, take this everyday...an overall great support system for your body....
Excellent service on overseas order of Spirulina
Posted by 5296372279651610009 on Nov 27, 2012
We knew the product is great when we ordered as it is a mainstay of our supplements. I will mention though for others looking at spirulina that this is the only brand we have been able to 'get along with.' The service from iHerb was exceptional in getting the order out the door and on its way to us in Germany. The packaging is perfect to survive the bumps of its journey. Getting packages through customs in Germany is something else, as we have to drive one hour and then open the package while it is accepted. If the value is more than 46 euro, there is a 20% tax. On the last order, one of two packages arrived. It has been three weeks and we haven't seen the second. That of course is out of iHerbs' hands. Just a note for those ordering from overseas. For me, the great price on the product and exceptional service make the order worthwhile.
nothing is perfect

Obama, GOP Crush Stocks on Path to Fiscal Cliff Showdown
(Updated to include comments from President Barack Obama.)
NEW YORK ( TheStreet -- Optimism returned after the market close on Friday that a meeting between President Obama and congressional Democratic and Republican leaders could lead to a renewal of negotiations to avert the "fiscal cliff," in spite of no new proposals offered by week-end.
With three days left to go until the New Year, it increasingly appears that Senate leaders may be able to broker a last minute deal, as Obama stands ready for a showdown with Republicans in Congress.
The president may either try to broker a new budget proposal between Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) and Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.), or force an up-or-down vote on his existing budget plan, unveiled a week ago.
At 3 p.m. Eastern time, Obama met with Republicans McConnell and Boehner and with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.) and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Ca). U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner was seen attending the meeting along with Sen. John Kerry (D., Mass.), Obama's recently appointed secretary of state.
Markets fell sharply as the meeting convened and reports from CNBC and Bloomberg indicated Obama wouldn't offer any new proposals. However, in a White House address and in statements on the Senate floor, Obama, McConnell and Reid all offered signs that a last minute deal could be reached by Sunday evening.
"I just had a good and constructive discussion here at the White House... Senators Reid and McConnell are working on an agreement right now," said Obama in an address to the media that started at 5:45 p.m. ET.
While President Obama expressed optimism a deal on lower income and middle class tax cuts could be reached, which would also extend unemployment insurance set to expire in the New Year. He also showed a willingness to put a previous budget proposal to the Senate for an up or down vote, which the president said could pass.
On the Senate floor just after 5:15 p.m. ET, Reid indicated there was still time for a last-minute vote at 2 p.m. ET Sunday. "I think it was a very positive meeting," he said.
"We are engaged in discussions," said McConnell of the prospect that the Senate finds a bipartisan proposal that could face a Sunday afternoon Senate vote, which would subsequently move to the House. "I am hopeful and optimistic," he said.
Fiscal cliff talks in Washington turned optimistic just after 5 p.m. ET; however, it didn't filter to Wall Street, where trading closed at session lows on Friday, in the absence of new budget proposals offered at the White House meeting.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average declined 158 points, or 1.1%, closing below 13,000. Dow futures contracts have the index down by over 200 points.

Why a study group?
- Research shows that students who study in groups do better than students who study alone.
- Students often learn more when working with others.
- The commitment students make to a group may help them stay on task.
- Students may benefit from exposure to different learning styles.
Who needs a study group?
- All students can benefit from discussing what they know with other students.
How to get started?
- Talk to other students in the class.
- Ask for help from the professor.
- Choose dependable students from a variety of backgrounds and academic levels.
- Meet with an Academic Skills Counselor from the Office of Academic Services to schedule a "How To" Study Group Workshop.
Set the ground rules:
- Establish a purpose; a set of common goals.
- Pick a time and place that works for everyone; set up a schedule and stick to it.
- Socialize after the session.
- Optimal group size is between 3 and 6 students.
- Designate a chairperson who will be responsible for reserving the space and setting the agenda for each session.
- Divide portions of the study material among group members. Each member will be responsible for leading a discussion on his/her assigned portion.
- Always come prepared; read the material, do the homework, bring all notes and books related to the topic of the session.

Staff Bios
Dr. Bryan Sokol, Director
Bryan is trained as a child development researcher, with a Ph.D. in developmental psychology from the University of British Columbia, Canada. In addition to his role as the CSCE director, Bryan is a tenured, associate professor in the Department of Psychology at Saint Louis University, where he has taught and mentored undergraduate and graduate students since 2007.
Bryan's intellectual hero is the American pragmatist philosopher, John Dewey. Bryan sees the CSCE's goals to connect the university to the broader community through experiential forms of learning and research partnerships as being closely aligned with Dewey's efforts to work at the intersection of several scholarly disciplines (e.g., philosophy, psychology, and education) and to live the life of a "public intellectual."
Besides his appreciation for Dewey's life and work, Bryan enjoys sharing stories, particularly about his three sons, over drinks. He is especially fond of single-malt whisky or a nice bottle of red wine. He also welcomes any opportunities to take a golf cart ride across campus.
Dr. Leah Sweetman, Assistant Director for Service-Learning
Leah has a background in urban community development, teaching, and non-profit leadership, so working in the Center for Service and Community Engagement seems like a perfect mix.
Through her work, she assists faculty with creating new service-learning courses or redesigning existing courses to integrate meaningful community service and reflection experiences into the curriculum. Leah received her Ph.D. in Public Policy Analysis and Administration from Saint Louis University.
She has a research interest in how colleges and universities prepare students to serve in new and diverse settings and is working on ways to integrate those best practices into SLU's service programs.
Leah has called St. Louis home for the past 13 years but as she grew up in Wisconsin, she always enjoys talking to students about the Great Lakes, dairy farms, and Packers Football. When not at work, you will find her exploring St. Louis' many neighborhoods with her family.
Bobby Wassel, Assistant Director for Service and Outreach
Bobby Wassel currently services as the Assistant Director for Service and Outreach with the Saint Louis University Center for Service and Community Engagement. He has been working here at SLU and with the community in this capacity for almost 6 years.
Before this he spent a few years as a Campus Minister at the University of Missouri-St. Louis, and also spent a year volunteering in Appalachia at a place called Nazareth Farm, working with issues of rural poverty in West Virginia. It was this profound experience of service with others that inspired him to choose a career that allows him to connect students to their own experiences of service.
He holds a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and Sociology from Indiana University ('03), and a Master's Degree in Higher Education Administration from Saint Louis University ('08). He currently resides in Shrewsbury with his (expecting!) wife, Kelly and daughter, Daphne. He loves movies, fantasy literature, politics, cheering on the Colts, Cubs, and Indiana Hoosiers, and spending time with his family.
Justin Vilbig, Program Assistant
Justin is a native of St. Louis. He grew up in a large family and spent most of his youth frolicking and fighting with his siblings. He graduated from St. Louis University High School in 2006 and went on to earn a B.S. in Anthropology and a B.S. in Political Science from Truman State University in 2010.
Beginning in high school and continuing to today, Justin grew a passion for community service. He places great value in the perspectives and friendships he earns while engaging others. This passion grew into his current position as an AmeriCorps volunteer. At the Center his responsibilities include community partner engagement and assessment, increasing student volunteerism, and reducing waste incurred at residence hall move-out.
Of his many interests, arguably the most prominent are community service (clearly), environmental justice, Mesoamerican archaeology (namely Maya), paleoanthropology, music, hot tea, bicycling, walking his dogs in Tower Grove Park, travelling, and, like Bryan, single malt scotch. Justin is always open for a discussion, so never hesitate to stop by or a drop a line to him at the Center.
