Ontario Pork Congress
Statements by Members
2:05 p.m.
Gary Schellenberger Perth—Wellington, ON
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise today to recognize a very important event taking place this week in my riding of Perth--Wellington.
The 32nd Annual Ontario Pork Congress is under way and the always popular event is showcasing the pork industry with the theme "Strive to Thrive in 2005".
The pork congress is a festive event which profiles the future of the industry while celebrating the past. It is a great mix of tradition and innovation.
This past Saturday, I joined Ontario pork producers at their gala dinner in Stratford. I want to extend my best wishes to President John Crowley and all of the pork producers and suppliers attending this week's pork congress.
I ask members to please join me in recognizing Ontario's pork industry and the safe and delicious food it produces.

Roy Cullen Etobicoke North, ON
Mr. Speaker, today we reflect on the tragedy of the 329 lives lost on Air-India flight 182.
In the 20 years since the bombing, numerous inquiries, investigations and trials have led to many improvements in the safety and security of Canada's air transportation system.
We have completely modified our national security structure to focus on terrorism, as well as improving the collaboration between security and intelligence services such as the RCMP and CSIS.
To prevent terrorist attacks, the government has passed the Anti-terrorism Act and the Public Safety Act and has integrated numerous public safety strategies through the national security policy.
These initiatives show the government's commitment to vigilance in its efforts to protect Canadians. We have learned from the tragedy that occurred 20 years ago, and must continue to put into practice the knowledge we have acquired.
Zonolite Insulation
Statements by Members
2:10 p.m.
Pat Martin Winnipeg Centre, MB
Mr. Speaker, it is with great sadness that I inform the House that Zonolite insulation has claimed another life. Yesterday morning, my constituent Rebecca Bruce died of mesothelioma, a cancer caused by exposure to asbestos. She was only 47 and will be sadly missed by her husband Dennis and her two sons, Sidney and Shawn.
Rebecca's sister, Raven Thundersky, has struggled for years to have the health risks of asbestos-laden Zonolite addressed. They grew up on the Poplar River Indian Reserve in a house insulated with Zonolite, and now this Zonolite is killing them at an alarming rate. Rebecca is the fourth to die in a family of eight.
Today we honour the spirit of Rebecca Bruce, another aboriginal woman forced to live in substandard housing, another aboriginal woman murdered by the W.R. Grace Company, which sold Zonolite long after it knew it was contaminated with deadly tremolite asbestos.
Tomorrow, in her memory, we pledge to fight for all asbestos victims and to continue the fight to protect Canadians from deadly Zonolite insulation.
St. Jean Baptiste Day
Statements by Members
June 23rd, 2005 / 2:10 p.m.
Guy Lauzon Stormont—Dundas—South Glengarry, ON
Mr. Speaker, tomorrow, in accordance with tradition, Quebec will be celebrating St. Jean Baptiste Day.
The history of this celebration goes back to Gaul, where there was a tradition of lighting fires throughout the night of the summer solstice, that is, the longest night of the year. The tradition was carried on in France until the Revolution, and crossed the Atlantic to take root along the shores of the St. Lawrence.
Proclaimed the official holiday of Quebeckers in 1834 by the St. Jean Baptiste Society, the day has held special meaning for all Quebeckers ever since.
The Conservative Party caucus joins with me in wishing a happy St. Jean Baptiste Day to all Quebeckers everywhere.
Quebeckers' National Day
Statements by Members
2:10 p.m.
Monique Guay Rivière-du-Nord, QC
Mr. Speaker, this evening and all day tomorrow, Quebec will be swept by a tide of happiness, laughter and joy as people celebrate being Quebeckers of all origins.
In the Magdalen Islands, Blanc-Sablon, Abitibi, Pointe-à-la Croix, Quebec City, Montreal, Verchères, Sherbrooke, Trois-Rivières and Rivière-du-Nord, Quebeckers throughout Quebec will celebrate their national day with pride.
This year, we are honouring the songs of Quebec and those who create and perform them. As we know, Quebec's history, culture and language are intimately connected.
For over 400 years, as we have moved toward affirming our national identity, our artists have lent their words, rhythm and voices in order to express who we are and reflect our emotions, both the highs and the lows, and our hopes as well.
Quebec is music to our eyes and ears. We will say it and we will sing it. Happy national day, Quebec.
Statements by Members
2:10 p.m.
Ruby Dhalla Brampton—Springdale, ON
Mr. Speaker, Canadians are an increasingly diverse population. We can be and should be proud of our multicultural heritage. We have a tremendous amount to learn from each other and from how the diverse communities of our nation contribute to the building and strengthening of our nation.
Diversity is one of our nation's greatest strengths. The powerful and peaceful combination of so many people with so many different traditions, languages and beliefs is truly an inspiration to the world. All Canadians have an integral role to play in this source of pride and a commitment to further strengthening it.
June 27 is Canada's Multiculturalism Day. Canada is the world's first official multicultural country. This important day is going to bring together Canadians to celebrate our shared values and to strengthen our atmosphere of tolerance, understanding and respect. I invite all Canadians to participate in this celebration on June 27.
Statements by Members
2:15 p.m.
Deepak Obhrai Calgary East, AB
Mr. Speaker, today, June 23, marks the 20th anniversary of the Air-India bombing. To date it remains Canada's worst terrorist attack and to date we still have no answers. Over 320 people are dead and no one has been brought to justice.
I rise not only for those who were killed, but for the families and loved ones who remain and whose lives were changed forever. In an instant children lost their parents. Husbands and wives were split. The magnitude of this tragedy is immeasurable and without words.
In 1999 I attended the memorial service in Ireland. This year the leader of the official opposition is attending the memorial in Ireland on behalf of the Conservative Party.
On behalf of my colleagues in the House, I extend our deeply felt sympathy to the families of the victims. The Conservative Party supports recognizing June 23 as a national day of mourning for victims of terrorism.
Statements by Members
2:15 p.m.
Hedy Fry Vancouver Centre, BC
Mr. Speaker, the Deputy Prime Minister said that the Government of Canada is committed to doing all it can to ensure that tragedies such as Air-India 182 never happen again and this is good. Bob Rae noted that the crime was planned and executed in Canada, something that our society cannot ignore.
Canadians are a diverse people coming from nearly every corner of the globe. In many parts of the world religious, ethnic and racial hatred and xenophobia date back centuries, even millennia.
If we are to build a safe, peaceful and respectful society, those old hatreds must be left behind. There must be zero tolerance for acts of violence and hatred. Governments at all levels, in partnership with civil society, must play a stronger role in promoting a tolerant multicultural society and ensuring social cohesion
This is the best way to honour the lives of the 329 people who were murdered 20 years ago today.
The Budget
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
Peter MacKay Central Nova, NS
Mr. Speaker, clearly the Prime Minister was not serious when he said that it is time to put politics aside and pass the budget. The Liberal leader in the Senate is cynically playing politics with the government's own budget bill by holding up its passage. It proves again that the say anything, do anything, deceitful Prime Minister will do anything to cling to power.
The Prime Minister has his leader in the Senate deliberately slowing down the passage of the budget bill until the NDP add-on Bill C-48 passes. His mismanagement of the House has led to the impasse.
Why is he now punishing Atlantic Canadians to achieve his own partisan political gain?
The Budget
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
Hamilton East—Stoney Creek
Tony Valeri Leader of the Government in the House of Commons
Mr. Speaker, as members know, we do not speak for the other place. I would suggest to the hon. member that he call his hon. colleagues in the other place and perhaps get the same cooperation that he seems to be suggesting we are getting on Bill C-43. Perhaps he could ask for that same cooperation so that the Senate can deal expeditiously with Bills C-48 and C-38 when they both get to the Senate.
The Budget
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
Peter MacKay Central Nova, NS
Mr. Speaker, I am surprised that a House leader would suggest that the Senate could deal with a bill that it does not have.
Conservative Senators proposed fast tracking Bill C-43, the original budget, so that it could be passed in one day. In fact, that would have meant that the offshore royalties to Atlantic Canada could begin flowing today. It is costing Newfoundland and Labrador $132,000 a day and Nova Scotia $55,000 a day in lost interest.
Why is the Prime Minister allowing his Liberal dominated Senate to punish Atlantic Canada by delaying the benefits of the Atlantic accord? Will the government pay the lost interest to those provinces due to his deliberate disingenuous dithering?
The Budget
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
Ralph Goodale Minister of Finance
Mr. Speaker, last year the budget was presented in the latter part of March and the major budget legislation was indeed passed through all stages into law by about the middle of May.
Opposition members have had eight weeks to deal expeditiously with this legislation. They have stalled, filibustered and obfuscated at every point. It hardly lies in their mouths to accuse the government of any delay.
The Budget
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
Peter MacKay Central Nova, NS
Mr. Speaker, what unadulterated nonsense from the Minister of Finance, knowing his own party dithered on these bills.
In the other place Liberals are deliberately delaying the passage of their own bill and the Atlantic accord to step up pressure to pass the NDP add-on, prop-up bill.
Let us be clear. The Liberal Party is now cutting deals with the separatists to appease the socialists to support its corrupt government. Again, the government is in bed with the Bloc and nuzzling the NDP.
Why is the government playing political footsies with its new friends, and partisan games with Atlantic Canada and the lives of Atlantic Canadians?
The Budget
Oral Question Period
2:20 p.m.
Ralph Goodale Minister of Finance
Mr. Speaker, let us follow the opposition party's course on the budget legislation in the House.
First of all, the opposition members said that this was a budget that they could support. Then on the first vote they abstained from voting. Then when it came to that package on the crucial first confidence vote, they voted against the budget package. They voted to defeat the government, which would have effectively defeated the Atlantic accord. Then finally they came around to supporting Bill C-43 after months and months of delay. They could have had it passed in March.

Golden Eels popped onto my feed because of our mutual music preferences on Bandcamp. Their songwriter, Neil Golden, has played on records for several Athens, Georgia bands, ranging from the Elephant 6 legends, Elf Power to the Glands and Country Fried Rock alumni Shonna Tucker and Eye Candy. Periscopes in the Air leans toward the psychedelic pop sounds of Golden's earlier collaborations, yielding a completely DIY record that suits long commutes and pleasant workday distractions.

On 6 April 1966, nearly 50 years ago, the Beatles entered Abbey Road Studios in London and began recording a musical masterpiece. Revolver would be released on 5 August of that year, and would mark the moment the Beatles leaped forward from a tight and professional rock band to, perhaps, the most influential studio artists in rock 'n' roll history.
In light of changing rosters, drug addictions, lip-synching controversies, and even death, the one thing that has always been constant is that the Red Hot Chili Peppers make great music videos. Not only are they zany and memorable, many are also iconic and should be considered as some of the greatest music videos ever made. From the spontaneity of "Can't Stop" to the absurdist "Give It Away", most Chili Pepper videos leave memorable impression behind. Besides the Beastie Boys, no other musical act can top the Chili Peppers as the kings of music videos. As such, here's a look back to a bygone era featuring the bands' 12 best music videos.
12. "Higher Ground" / Mother's Milk / 1989 / Directed by Bill Stobaugh and Drew Carolan
Although it's comparatively bland next to future videos, the video for "Higher Ground" introduced an unsuspecting mainstream audience to the funk-punk machinations of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. With guitarist John Frusciante's neon colored jacket, and lead singer Anthony Kiedis' hipster hat, this video screams out 1989. Even though the kaleidoscopic background doesn't help with this, it served as the perfect image to convey the band's maniacal zest and kinetic vibrancy. The video alone makes viewers want to get up and dance just as much as the song itself does. Throw in bassist Flea's awesome stuffed animal pants (as seen in the video to "Bust a Move" as well) and you have the perfect video to introduce the Chili Peppers to mainstream America.
11. "Soul to Squeeze" / Coneheads Soundtrack / 1993 / Directed by Kevin Kerslake
Another black and white video, this time, one inspired by traveling freakshows of the 1930s, stands in stark contrast to the frenetic jubilance of "Give It Away". The fact that this video was filmed after John Frusciante had left the band adds to the very somber nature of the song, thus serving as a strengthening link between the song itself and the music video. The bleak black and white footage of a wandering circus heightens the lonely atmosphere generated by the track. Without being depressed, the video is depressing despite seeing Kiedis with a headful of snakes or Flea ride an elephant. The video for "Soul to Squeeze" is so timeless because of its originality, yet still finds a way to evoke the exact same emotions as the song itself.
10. "Warped" / One Hot Minute / 1995 / Directed by Gavin Bowden
The first single off the unjustifiably maligned One Hot Minute, and the first music video to feature new guitarist Dave Navarro, "Warped" serves its purpose incredibly well. The video opens up with anticipation, leaving the viewer wondering what will happen next until the song kicks into high gear, suddenly, if not spasmodically answering the viewers' questions. This was the publics' first official look at the new band that had developed quite a different look since Blood Sugar Sex Magik. Anthony Kiedis was back on drugs, Chad Smith looked like a member of Ace of Base, Flea is wearing a garbage bag as a poncho, and that guy from Jane's Addiction is now the guitarist… Oh and everyone's wearing leather underwear. But for however much the band had changed, here they were same as always, running rampant, but instead of a desert, they were rampaging in a tube with shutters. "Warped" showed the public that even though some things had changed within the band, their patented mania and vivaciousness still remained.
9. "Aeroplane / One Hot Minute / 1996 / Directed by Gavin Bowden
Because who doesn't like pleasure spiked with pain? The music video for "Aeroplane" is incredibly creative and random as it includes synchronized swimmers, an aerial swing set, Fleas' daughters' third grade class, and finally the dancers whom were inspired by a group of Mexican prostitutes who also double as assassins as well. The background is vibrant and colorful, and creates an atmosphere of fun to play along with the upbeat melody while heavily contrasting the dark subject matter of drug abuse. The video was different and original, and like One Hot Minute, often gets excluded from the praise it rightfully deserves.
8. "Otherside" / Californication / 2000 / Directed by Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris
This monochromatic masterpiece perfectly captures the gothic and somber emotion of "Otherside". Like something from the mind of Tim Burton, the music video is almost horrific in imagery, yet provocatively poignant in concept. Being an homage to former guitarist Hillel Slovaks' battle with drug addiction (which eventually claimed his life), it makes perfect sense for the music video to reflect the terrifying and inhumane visuals someone high on drugs might see. Easily, the most powerful part of the video is the ending, which concludes in the exact same place where the video began, symbolizing the cycle of addiction, a concept the band was all too familiar with.
7. "Scar Tissue" / Californication / 1999 / Directed by Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris
The video for "Scar Tissue" is so great that Green Day felt the need to rip off the Chili Peppers with their video for "Boulevard of Broken Dreams". Unlike most RHCP videos, this one does in fact reflect the song's subject matter of rebirth. After almost starving to death, overdosing on heroin, and being immolated alive, guitarist John Frusicante was invited back into the band just as the band was on the verge of breaking up. Frusciante saved the Chili Peppers from collapsing, who in turn saved him from a life of drug addiction and depression. Accordingly, the video depicts a band that has been beaten and battered, playing broken instruments, yet they still soldier on through the hot California desert. This is symbolic of the band itself struggling to heal itself to push forward in light of professional failure and personal troubles. By 1999, the year the single was released, the band and all of its members had been through their fair share of tragedies, yet they still persevered against all odds, and re-emerged stronger than ever before.
"I have had people who have listened to the material since, and they said they can't understand why we didn't get signed. But at the time that we put out that material, people were still expecting long jams. It was before the so-called New Wave stuff took on and became more pop and what not, the shorter song format. I just write it off to timing, but I wouldn't trade the experience for anything in the world…"
—Jack Casady interview in Relix magazine, February 1986
It has been 35 years since San Francisco rock band SVT released their only full length album, No Regrets. Much has shifted in music, particularly rock music, since that time, and this album may have something to tell us, in retrospect, about directions in rock music, generally. More importantly, however, it may be time for a reconsideration of the band's output, in particular the songs of their lead singer/guitarist, Brian Marnell.
Maybe you had to be there—but hell, maybe you didn't.
At the Hideout, an appropriately-named Chicago bar and venue that is so dubbed for being sandwiched (hidden, arguably) between the Chicago river and one of its great highways, a four-act set was performing that evening for a fun literary and vaguely hipster-y crowd. The opening sets were fine, but by the time that New Jersey's own Miracles of Modern Science took the stage, with mandolin, double-bass, violin, cello, and a tight drum set, the crowd knew they were in for something special, but after hitting the crowd with instantly-hummable pop hooks, chant-along vocals, some beautiful melodic gestures, and a genuine sense of fun and chemistry, everyone in the room turned into a fan (the group went third, and the act that followed played to half-capacity as so many swarmed the band and purchased merch). Realizing they had about ten minutes left in their set though, the "MOMS" took all their instruments out into the crowd and played one hell of a cover of "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" and followed that up with their maniacal, bloody, whimsical gothic horror song that was the secret track off of their first-ever album and was dubbed, tellingly, "Secret Track". Every band member became a character, their faces and voices stretched into cartoon proportions, and it made for one of the most unique shows that went on in Chicago in 2015.

2 Cor 5:10 τους γαρ παντας ημας φανερωθηναι δει εμπροσθεν του βηματος του χριστου ινα κομισηται εκαστος τα δια του σωματος προς α επραξεν ειτε αγαθον ειτε φαυλον
Here is a brief definition of βημα. See my comment below.
The Meaning of the Judgment (Bema) Seat (from bible.org)
By: J. Hampton Keathley, III , Th.M.
Both Romans 14:10 and 2 Corinthians 5:9 speak of the Judgment Seat of Christ. This is a translation of one Greek word, the word βημα. While βημα is used in the gospels and Acts of the raised platform where a Roman magistrate or ruler sat to make decisions and pass sentence (Matt. 27:19; John 19:13), its use in the epistles by Paul, because of his many allusions to the Greek athletic contests, is more in keeping with its original use among the Greeks.
This word was taken from Isthmian games where the contestants would compete for the prize under the careful scrutiny of judges who would make sure that every rule of the contest was obeyed (cf. 2 Tim. 2:5). The victor of a given event who participated according to the rules was led by the judge to the platform called the βημα. There the laurel wreath was placed on his head as a symbol of victory (cf. 1 Cor. 9:24-25).
I have read articles like this a 1,000 times on βημα. I've seen this Isthmian games reference equally as much, and yet, as far as the βημα is concerned, I have never found any original source that can confirm this word βημα was used for a platform and was used at the Isthmian games for the judges to sit/stand on to give out the prizes to the victors.
Has anyone ever seen an original source that can confirm βημα being used in the Isthmian games as a platform for the judges? I have seen authors reference other authors, but nobody has cited an original source.
[Pardon this post; I am sure this word has been discussed out here too many times, but I am trying to find this supposed meaning that 100s of authors/scholars reference. This is getting quite frustrating!

Italian-based denim brand Nine in the Morning continues to impress us with their ever evolving line of jeans which visibly seems to be maturing and refining itself at an enormous rate. When we were first introduced to this brand last year, it was one of many new denim brands coming into the market, competing for attention. The wheat has been separated from the chaff, and Nine in the Morning stands strong. For the Autumn-Winter 2011 campaign, we see a woman and man in various poses and expressions, conveying what appears to be a play, aptly titled, "The Autumn and The Winter." The freeing expressions and contortion of their bodies demonstrates Nine in the Morning's fit and ability to extend beyond normal wear and tear; creating character in its creases, folds and distress points.
[nggallery id=479]
If you can bend, writhe and practically do yoga poses in these jeans like the models featured (and still look good in them), then we think these jeans are worth a check in. For more information, go to Nine in the Morning online.

Final chancellor candidate comes to WSU Tri-Cities
The third and final candidate for the open chancellor position at Washington State University Tri-Cities comes to campus today to speak with students and staff.
Dr. Keith Moo-Young is the Dean of the College of Engineering, Computer Science and Technology at California State University, Los Angles.
Today, he toured the Richland campus and held a forum so students and teachers could get to know him.
Dr. Moo-Young says if he gets the position, one of his top priorities will be to increase student success through student involvement.
"I have definitely the energy and the skill set from my previous experiences that I feel I really would assist in not only defining the vision, but building the local community engagement and partnership to really build a 21st century workforce for this region, the state of Washington, and for the United States" said Dr. Moo-Young.
College administrators hope to announce the new chancellor in early April.

Threatened: O'Toole Building/National Maritime Union
As Saint Vincent's Hospital moves forward with redevelopment plans, the 1964 Curran/O'Toole building designed by Albert C. Ledner is at risk
Between 1954 and 1967 Albert C. Ledner, AIA, designed 14 projects for the National Maritime Union. Four were built in New York; all are expressive mid-century modern. In 2003 the dormitory building was reborn as the signature Maritime Hotel. Another of the four, the Joseph Curran Building-- national headquarters for the Union--is now the O'Toole Building, part of St. Vincent's Hospital (7th Avenue at 13th Street). The Curran/O'Toole Building is currently under threat as Saint Vincent¹s hospital moves forward with plans for a new hospital.
DOCOMOMO New York/Tri-State held an event September 25, featuring Albert Ledner discussing his work for the National Maritime Union. The chapter has also prepared a backgrounder that includes images, historical information about the building and its architect as well as background on the current situation.

Mitt Romney, as expected, has won the Florida primary with a solid 14.5 point lead over Newt Gingrich with 96% of precincts reporting. Newt responded to the spanking in his usual gracious fashion with what sounded suspiciously like a victory speech (he didn't bother to congratulate Romney) and instead declared the Republican race henceforth a contest between himself, the "conservative leader" who is not actually leading in any credible polls these days, and the "Massachusetts moderate."
And while Newt's loss in Florida is no doubt somewhat attributable to his deep unpopularity with women voters, he's still got one (in)famous lady backer out there willing to rush to his defense. Why should Republican voters consider voting for Newt Gingrich in Nevada, Sarah Palin?
"[I would vote for] whoever it is, to allow the process to continue. I still say that competition breeds success for the U.S. and that's what we need in this debate … so I would continue to vote for whomever it is to allow the process. At this point it looks like Newt," said Palin, the former governor of Alaska and a former vice presidential candidate.
Does anyone have any idea what that series of words means? Oh well, here is what it actually means: Sarah Palin is not so stupid to have not-endorsed endorsed the loser, she just means that she wants to see some competition in this race, since that is what is has been missing, obviously.

Skip to comments.Obama clinches Democratic nomination
Posted on 06/03/2008 1:24:42 PM PDT by freedomwarrior998
WASHINGTON (AP) - Barack Obama effectively clinched the Democratic presidential nomination Tuesday, based on an Associated Press tally of convention delegates, becoming the first black candidate ever to lead his party into a fall campaign for the White House.

Ding Dong the Witch is Dead! Ding Dong! The Witch is dead. Which old Witch? The Wicked Witch! Ding Dong! The Wicked Witch is dead. Wake up - sleepy head, rub your eyes, get out of bed. Wake up, the Wicked Witch is dead. She's gone where the goblins go, Below - below - below. Yo-ho, let's open up and sing and ring the bells out. Ding Dong' the merry-oh, sing it high, sing it low. Let them know The Wicked Witch is dead!
So AP did have it right?
He's worse.....
Not so fast my FRiend....
Bummer. I want her to hang on at least until the convention, just to keep stoking the resentments and bitterness between her band of hags and Barack Hussein Obama's delusional worshippers.
If she really does give up now, there will probably be enough time for the two sides to kiss and make up before November.
This is premature. The house has not fallen on her yet.
Clinton Inc. has been ground into powder.
No journalistic spin there, no sirree!
effectively clinched
Watch what you pray for. At least we know what to expect from Hillary. Now we have a true unknown.
The rats managed to nominate an unelectable candidate.
I think she's still not going to let Obama have tonite due to her sick sociopathic tendencies.
She'll keep hanging in until she can get something out of it. Money, position, whatever. The hag.
Ain't nothing clinched until the delegates have their say at the Convention. How the delegates feel on June 3 2008 means nothing.
Golly, what happend to "Count every vote?"
It really is true that what comes around, goes around.
People have been saying that for some time. They are dead wrong. Obama is a bumbling buffoon, a la Jimmah Carter. Hillary! is the second coming of Adolf Hitler/Joseph Stalin.
Hillary! is ruthless, cunning, vindictive and will do anything to accomplish her agenda.
Take away Obama's speech writers and you have nothing.
No to mention, McCain will sweep away Obama in November.
I see it the other way around. McCain had a chance against Hillary, against Obama? No.
Hitlery would have carried all three, and thus the Presidency.
"Effectively clinching" is not clinching, which requires attaining a prescribed number of pledged delegates. Until the convention the superdelegates are free to change their minds as often as they like.
Ha! So true! I have this vision of Hillary morphing into a huge evil monster form at the convention and zapping people.
Don't count "The Witch" out since her strategy is to hang herself around Obama's neck as VP.
Beyond that, Obama's mother is white so doesn't that accurately make him "mixed race."
He may but hasn't yet secured the nomination. Sloppy reporting but no surprise there.
We will never know for sure, but think McCain has a better chance against Obama.
AP isn't known for being accurate or honest. Keep the champagne on ice for a few hours more...
I hate to lick the red off your candy cane, but the superdelegates don't actually count until they VOTE at the convention. She can still flip them.
So, Obama finally bought the support of enough super delegates.
Look back to the Bush/Gore election.
Most conservatives and Republicans were gung-ho for Bush then, and Gore was the unlikeable boring one.
Now we have McCain, who is not liked by many conservatives, and we have Obama, who has a huge energized following.
I'll stick with my opinion (because I think I'm right) :)
There is no way that Philadelphia and Cleveland overcome the margins that McCain is going to run up in the Appalachian portions of those states.
Without Pennsylvania and Ohio, Obama loses.
"I think shes still not going to let Obama have tonite due to her sick sociopathic tendencies."
But she is right. the so-called "pledged" superdelegates are not really so bound.
BTW, how do we know they are "pledged" - and how strongly?
+ "youth vote"
Exactly right. What I find ironic is that whole concept of the superdelegate is to make sure that the Democrats have the capabality -- right up to the last minute! -- of changing their mind and saving themselves from a candidate who has suddenly become unelectable.
The DNC understands the purpose of the superdelegates.
The media understands the purpose of the superdelegates.
But it suits their purpose (today) to slap their hands together and say "Game Over!"
But they know it's not.
Great. Now we get stuck with Michelle Obama. I'm expecting her to out-witch the wicked witch Hitlery.
You're right, we won't. One thing we do know for sure - this is going to be one interesting Presidential race!
That is GREAT! LOL!!!!
She's still out there!
Don't count your chickens before they hatch. I don't think Hillary has any intention of conceding the race at this point. All signs point to Democrats within the media waging a campaign against her, IMHO.
What we are witnessing is the true "power" of the media and those within it who are using this power to influence our elections. We may be excited because no-one here really likes Hillary - however, you MUST keep the following in mind - what happens when they start doing this to REPUBLICANS? (Like they haven't already.)
As I said long ago, the Clintons have to be the bride at every funeral, and the corpse at every wedding.
Shell keep hanging in until she can get something out of it. Money, position, whatever. The hag.
She's desperate to hang on to her White House dreams, because that's all she's ever lived for.
LOL. Jennifer Flowers could be the flower girl!
From what I understand, they can change their vote right up until they cast votes at the convention.
Your forgetting...that is what bothers so many of these posters, they hate McCain, want him to lose, wanted to vote for hillary to help make it happen.

This infographic takes a look at this troubling technology trend, which is depleting the planet's supply of Rare Earth Elements.
Apple sold a record 5 million iPhones the first weekend the phone was on the market. And unlike in the iPhone's early days, the latest Apple smartphones are not primarily being purchased by first time owners.
But did you ever stop to think about what happens to all those iPhone 3, 3GS, 4 and 4Ss now deemed out of date? While there are many recycling programs available, most smartphones are not efficiently thrown out.
Apple's iPhones is far from the only culprit —..

Drink trends, good and bad, for 2013
Here's a quick race through some beer, wine and spirits trends that could continue to grow in 2013. Some excite me. Others ... well, let's just say I hope I'm wrong.
Barrel-aged beer: Oak aging has been around for a while. Placentia's The Bruery offers Loakal Red as one of its year-round beers, and some craft-beer makers are using old bourbon and whiskey barrels to create more complex flavors.
Coffee-infused beer: This one was all over the place in 2012 – Taps Fish House & Brewery in Brea, Bootlegger's Brewery in Fullerton, Beachwood BBQ & Brewing in Long Beach. Personally, I think the coffee flavor can get in the way.
Beer/wine hybrids: Craft brewers throughout the U.S. are in love with this idea. Yes, I know some of them have won medals at the Great American Beer Festival and the World Beer Cup. But for the love of God, can somebody make them stop? I like my beer and wine to exist in separate worlds.
Continuing growth of craft beer: According to usabeertrends.com, the output of small and independent craft brewers grew 13 percent by volume in 2011; in the first half of 2012 that number jumped another 12 percent. Meanwhile, the overall beer industry was down 1.3 percent by volume. Domestic non-craft beer production plunged by 5 million barrels in 2011. Hey, Bud – stick a fork in yourself.
Sweeter wines: They're making inroads with younger drinkers. Gen Y thinks it's on to something, but for an old boomer like me it's 1975 all over again. Moscato is popping up at tastings and on restaurant wine lists. And I've been running across slightly sweet red blends: 14 Hands' Hot to Trot, Apothic Red, Cupcake's Red Velvet, Bridlewood's Red Blend 175, Gnarley Head's Authentic Red.
Pinot noir backlash: There's been an ongoing love affair with this prissy little grape since "Sideways" made it popular in 2004. It's still building – the latest twist is single-vineyard, single-clone pinots. But I sense that sommeliers are getting exasperated by the constant demand. Many have been suggesting other varietals (some of which are not good alternatives to my mind) for those with a big pinot fixation: gamay, sangiovese, even such exotics as mencía, bonarda, zweigelt and xinomavro.
Monster red backlash (or anti-Parkerization): There's mounting and widespread evidence that we might be losing our taste for high-alcohol, huge red wines – the kind championed by the influential but now-retired wine critic Robert Parker. "High alcohol destroys the balance wine should have," wine writer Gerry Dawes explains. "You need acid, not alcohol, to go with food. After a single glass, (the big wines) are tiresome to drink and people will leave a very expensive bottle half-empty on the table because they can't finish it."
Cocktails continue to benefit (or suffer at times) from the mixology craze. Here's what I've noticed.
Abstractions of traditional fruit flavors: 320 Main in Seal Beach is a prime example. You'll find ingredients like "Pineapple Shrubb" and "Pomegranate Molasses" in their custom cocktails. It's tasty, if a bit mystifying, but I suspect it's just another way to turn a $10 cocktail into a $15 "drink event."
Gin and bourbon are cool again: Small-batch Kentucky bourbons are gaining shelf space in some of Orange County's hipper bars. So are some gin brands that were formerly rare outside of England and Canada: Nolet's, Boodles, Hendrick's. And do I detect a slight increase in demand for the gin martini? Sorry, vodka fans. That would be a welcome evolution.
Classic cocktails and even pre-Prohibition drinks: I'm seeing more Singapore Slings, Sidecars, Manhattans, Old Fashioneds, Pink Squirrels and Sazeracs offered as house cocktails on local bar menus. It warms the heart of this determined traditionalist. Recently, a companion ordered a Pimm's Cup at the Golden Truffle and our waiter didn't bat an eye. Progress!

(January 14, 2014) – SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment™ announces a multi-park celebration to commemorate a key event in the company's history. The original SeaWorld® park opened its gates for the first time in March 1964 on Mission Bay in San Diego. SeaWorld's 50th Celebration will feature a Sea of Surprises™ starting March 21, 2014. SeaWorld parks in San Diego, Orlando and San Antonio will share the excitement throughout an 18-month celebration that highlights some of the most memorable SeaWorld experiences. For nearly five decades, SeaWorld has surprised and amazed guests with unique entertainment, thrilling rides and up-close encounters with marine animals. During SeaWorld's 50th Celebration visitors will be invited to take part in the celebration through new interactive experiences, shows and pathway performances, even more up-close animal encounters throughout the park and the SeaWorld "Surprise Squad" treating guests with prizes every day. A new nighttime Shamu Show will debut at all three SeaWorld parks this year, starting on March 8 at SeaWorld San Antonio, March 21 at SeaWorld San Diego and June 21 at SeaWorld Orlando. The show will include new killer whale behaviors as well as new lighting and video aspects. In addition to the new iconic Shamu show, the parks have new entertainment elements including a 50th Celebration theme for the ski show at SeaWorld San Antonio and a new Madagascar Live! Operation: Vacation show at SeaWorld Orlando. SeaWorld San Diego will celebrate 50 years by completely transforming the park's arrival experience. The creation of Explorer's Reef™, which will open in March for the celebration kick-off, will immediately immersed park guests into an undersea oasis. From the moment they enter the park, guests can connect with the sea through multiple touch pools featuring shark pups, rays, skates and delicate little cleaner fish. SeaWorld guests are often greeted by an animal ambassador, many of whom were orphaned or injured in the wild and given a second chance thanks to the SeaWorld Rescue Team. As part of SeaWorld's 50th Celebration, there will be more surprise encounters with animal ambassadors throughout the day. A pair of Magellanic penguins, a lemur, or even a parade of flamingos could surprise guests at any moment at all three SeaWorld locations. SeaWorld is known for amazing animal shows and each park will have something new for the 50th celebration. Even park pathways will come to life with spontaneous entertainment at unexpected moments, including performers with sea-inspired costumes and props, a bubble brigade and splash mob. The SeaWorld "Surprise Squad" will roam the SeaWorld parks on a daily basis giving away prizes and special gifts. Guests could receive exclusive access to rides or behind-the-scenes experiences, celebration t-shirts or Shamu-themed merchandise, reserved show seating and more. To showcase SeaWorld's commitment to the environment and passion for protecting the ocean, a series of giant sea life sculptures will be displayed throughout the parks. SeaWorld commissioned environmental art group Washed Ashore for a collection of larger-than-life sea-themed sculptures – many weighing more than half a ton. The materials used to create these pieces come from the billions of pounds of garbage – mostly plastics – that wind up in our oceans. These amazing works of art point to the urgent need to protect marine animals from such dangers and preserve their ocean habitats. As part of its continuing commitment to new technology that enhances the guest experience, SeaWorld's 50th Celebration will include new ways for fans to connect to the parks and each other though digital devices. The parks will be launching a variety of enhancements, from interactive apps that provide fun new ways to experience the park to new games and video content.

Erwin Olaf
We are biased when it comes to Dutch photographer Erwin Olaf because he's from Amsterdam and he likes MENDO. But there's more to be enthusiastic about. I once visited one of his lectures. The way he spoke about his work, ambitions and personal struggles was very impressive. And there is the works. Time after time Erwin is able to reinvent himself. After some extremely extravagant work in the early days, the work in this book is more or less subdued. The atmosphere is completely different, but it is unmistakably Olaf. With it's 110 pages the price tag is pretty heavy. But the printing is so brilliant, that it's worth every penny, dime, cent, yen or rupee you spend on it.
In december 2011 Lido Books released an XL publication on Olaf's full oeuvre that was sold out instantly. The regular edition of this book is expected in 2012. Make sure you are informed about the release. Subscribe to our newsletter, follow us @mendoamsterdam or join us on Facebook.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
Competitors from around the state of Utah descended on Ferron bringing their steers, lambs, pigs, goats, and even their rabbits with them. The 69th annual Southeastern Utah Junior Livestock Show was held July 11-14.
Preparing an animal for the stockshow requires hours and hours of hard work and commitment from the exhibitors. The sponsors of the stockshow see more than kids and animals. They see the hard work, responsibility, goal setting and management skills learned by these young people.
The commitment on the part of the stockshow sponsors allows these young people to come back year after year. Many of the sponsors today were exhibitors themselves in their younger years. Since 1939, the stockshow has relied on the support of the generous sponsors. The exhibitors of yesteryear have become the parents, leaders and sponsors of the youth today.
To be an exhibitor in the stockshow you must be in the third grade and not less than 8 years of age as of January 1. Exhibitors can show through the same season as their high school graduation but not past their 19th birthday.
Exhibitors can list an affiliation with a group such as FFA or 4-H, but can only list one group. Exhibitors are required to own their animal and work with that animal for at least 100 days for market beef and 60 days for market swine and market lambs.
All of the animals are to be treated with dignity and respect in the stockshow. The animals aren't to be treated with any harmful substances or their natural appearance and color are not to be altered in any way. Only animals in good health are encouraged to be part of the stockshow process.
One thing that adds to the atmosphere at the arena is the presentation by the exhibitors. They must be dressed appropriately with a white shirt and dark pants. Each of their shirts must have a collar and this adds to the professionalism of the event. Sloppy dress is not allowed among exhibitors.
Animals that are unmanageable are encouraged not to show at stockshows.
The market animals are suggested to show at certain weights. There are no maximum weight limits at the Southeastern Utah Junior Livestock Show. The beef can be in the weight range of 1,000 to 1,275 pounds. The sheep can be 90-130 pounds. The swine can be 240-290 pounds. The stockshow does have a minimum weight requirement which is: 1,000 for beef, 100 for sheep and 230 for swine.
The goal of the Southeastern Junior Livestock Show is to educate young people and improve the livestock in Utah.
When the animals arrive at the show they are weighed in and all exhibitors meet and receive instructions.
It takes a lot of volunteers to put together a stock show. Dennis Worwood is the local Utah State Extension director and his office is very involved in the stockshow process. The president of the stockshow organization is Karl Kay; vice president Blaine Fillmore; manager Cindy Fillmore; clerk Dennis Worwood; secretary Gail Kay; treasurer Kaylene Pearson; cattle department head Kyle McArthur; staff Corinne Dalton, Steve Grange and Jackie Fox.
Swine department head Blaine Fillmore; staff Karl Kay, Jacen Benson, Wane Justice, Dorrell Barker and Therron Grange.
Sheep department head David Stokes; staff JoAnn Jensen, Glen Wells, Tammy Wells, Sherrie Swasey and Laren Huntsman.
Rabbit show Dan James staff; Peggy Johansen.
Goat show Bonnie Vea; staff Jerry Vea and Ron Patterson.
Buyers brunch and dance Betty Labrum and Kaylene Pearson. Awards social Cindy Fillmore and Jennifer Kay.
Building and grounds Ferron City and Joe Trenary.
Trophies and ribbons Gail Kay.

Finance committee Glen Wells, David Stokes, andKaylene Pearson.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
Derris Jones reported to the Emery County Public Lands Council at their January meeting. He mentioned the legislative session and the items the Division of Wildlife Resources is watching for the sportsmen. The item on reducing the age for hunters passed the RAC and will now be presented to the legislature. A no-minimum age was recommended for small game hunters as long as they had passed hunter's safety. A 12 year age limit for big game hunters successfully completing hunter's education is recommended. Jones said they are cracking down on hunter safety and making sure the kid's pass and aren't given second chances. Jones said they are losing kids before they have time to develop an interest in hunting and fishing and by lowering the age limits they hope to attract and keep young people's interest.
Another bill before the legislature that has potential to damage the DWR calls for people in arrears with their child support to not be eligible for hunting and fishing licenses. A $400,000 fiscal note is attached to the bill as the DWR would be responsible for removing licenses from those individuals which would be a personnel nightmare for the division.
The governor's budget offers a generous cost of living increase, but with the recent buyouts and cashouts on retirements that have taken place, this will take a bigger chunk from each division. The DWR was not planning to go for a license rate increase this year, but if they don't get one programs will have to be cut and personnel cuts will be needed.
A family fishing license is also being discussed with a reduced bag limit. No details yet. The proposed increases are: resident fishing license, (14-64 years of age), from $26 to $28; resident small game license, (14 years of age and older), from $17 to $20; resident combination license, (12 years of age and older), from $34 to $37; resident general season deer permit, from $40 to $45; and big game application fee from $5 to $10, with no increase on seniors.
Over the last five years there has been a reduction of 100,000 fishing licenses purchased in Utah. The deer license sales are capped at 97,000 and they sell out every year with much more demand than licenses available. "We would love to get the deer population up so we can sell more licenses. With one year of good fawn production the numbers are up, but we need several years of good production," said Jones. "The division has gone to a 365 day fishing license since Dec. 1, 2005. When you buy a fishing license it will be good for one year from the day of purchase. We hope this will encourage the purchase of more yearly fishing licenses.
"Rabbit hunters found two deer up by Wattis that had their heads cut off. The DWR is offering a reward for information in this case. The RAC where the permit numbers will be discussed is March 15 with the board meeting on April 6. The antlerless cow tags will be discussed in RAC on April 18 with the board meeting on April 27. We have had two retirements from our Southeastern office. We lost a law enforcement officer and the East Carbon officer. The office will be in a state of flux for the next three years with the shuffle of personnel. We now have two officers above I-70 and two below, we may get someone new in July.
"The bison count on the Henrys was incomplete and we are trying to redo that this winter. It's usually been done in July, but we're trying something new and it started Jan. 9 and I'll report the numbers next month. Twenty-five head of antelope were transplanted from Wayne County to three spots in the Swell," reported Jones.

Ataxia describes a lack of muscle control during voluntary movements, such as walking or picking up objects. A sign of an underlying condition, ataxia can affect movement, speech, eye movement and swallowing.
Persistent ataxia usually results from damage to your cerebellum — the part of your brain that controls muscle coordination. Many conditions can cause ataxia, including alcohol abuse, stroke, tumor, cerebral palsy and multiple sclerosis. An inherited defective gene also can cause ataxia.
Treatment for ataxia depends on the cause. Adaptive devices, such as walkers or canes, might help you maintain your independence. Physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy also might help.
Ataxia can develop over time or come on suddenly. Ataxia, a sign of a number of neurological disorders, may cause:
If you aren't aware of having a condition that causes ataxia, such as multiple sclerosis, see your doctor if you:
Damage, degeneration or loss of nerve cells in the part of your brain that controls muscle coordination (cerebellum), results in ataxia. Your cerebellum comprises two pingpong-ball-sized portions of folded tissue situated at the base of your brain near your brainstem. The right side of your cerebellum controls coordination on the right side of your body; the left side of your cerebellum controls coordination on the left.
Diseases that damage the spinal cord and peripheral nerves that connect your cerebellum to your muscles also may cause ataxia. Ataxia causes include:
For some adults who develop sporadic ataxia, no specific cause can be found. This is known as sporadic degenerative ataxia, which can take a number of forms, including multiple system atrophy, a progressive, degenerative disorder.
Some types of ataxia and some conditions that cause ataxia are hereditary. If you have one of these conditions, you were born with a defect in a certain gene that makes abnormal proteins. The abnormal proteins hamper the function of nerve cells, primarily in your cerebellum and spinal cord, and cause them to degenerate. As the disease progresses, coordination problems worsen.
You can inherit a genetic ataxia from either a dominant gene from one parent (autosomal dominant disorder) or a recessive gene from each parent (autosomal recessive disorder). In the latter case, it's possible neither parent has the disorder (silent mutation), so there may be no obvious family history.
Different gene defects cause different types of ataxia, most of which are progressive. Each type causes poor coordination, but each has specific signs and symptoms.
These include:
Episodic ataxia. There are seven recognized types of ataxia that are episodic rather than progressive — EA1 through EA7. EA1 and EA2 are the most common. EA1 involves brief ataxic episodes that may last seconds or minutes. The episodes are triggered by stress, being startled or sudden movement, and often are associated with muscle twitching.
EA2 involves longer episodes, usually lasting from 30 minutes to six hours, that also are triggered by stress. With this type of ataxia, you may experience dizziness (vertigo), fatigue and muscle weakness during your episodes. In some cases of episodic ataxia, symptoms resolve in later life.
Episodic ataxia doesn't shorten life span, and symptoms may respond to medication.
Friedreich's ataxia. This, the most common hereditary ataxia, involves damage to your cerebellum, spinal cord and peripheral nerves. Peripheral nerves carry signals from your brain and spinal cord to your muscles. In most cases, signs and symptoms appear before the age of 25.
The rate of disease progression varies. The first indication generally is difficulty walking (gait ataxia). The condition typically progresses to the arms and trunk. Muscles weaken and waste away over time, causing deformities, particularly in your feet, lower legs and hands.
Other signs and symptoms that may develop as the disease progresses include slow, slurred speech (dysarthria); fatigue; rapid, involuntary eye movements (nystagmus); spinal curvature (scoliosis); hearing loss; and heart disease, including heart enlargement (cardiomyopathy) and heart failure.
Ataxia-telangiectasia. This rare, progressive childhood disease causes degeneration in the brain and other body systems. The disease causes immune system breakdown (immunodeficiency disease), which increases susceptibility to other diseases. It affects various organs.
Telangiectasias are tiny red "spider" veins that may appear in the corners of your child's eyes or on the ears and cheeks. Although they're characteristic of the disease, your child may not develop them. Delayed motor skill development, poor balance and slurred speech are typically the first indications of the disease. Recurrent sinus and respiratory infections are common.
Children with ataxia-telangiectasia are at high risk of developing cancer, particularly leukemia or lymphoma. Most people with the disease need a wheelchair by their teens and die in their teens or early 20s.
You're likely to start by seeing your family doctor or a general practitioner. However, in some cases, your doctor may refer you immediately to a neurologist.
Here's some information to help you get ready for your appointment.
Preparing a list of questions will help you make the most of your time with your doctor. For ataxia, some basic questions to ask include:
Don't hesitate to ask other questions.
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions, such as:
Don't drink alcohol or take recreational drugs, which can make your ataxia worse.
If you have ataxia, your doctor will look for a treatable cause. Besides conducting a physical exam and a neurological exam, including checking your memory and concentration, vision, hearing, balance, coordination and reflexes, your doctor may request laboratory tests, including:
There's no treatment specifically for ataxia. In some cases, treating the underlying cause resolves the ataxia. In other cases, such as ataxia that results from chickenpox or other viral infection, it's likely to resolve on its own over time. Your doctor may recommend adaptive devices or therapies to help with your ataxia.
For ataxia caused by conditions such as multiple sclerosis or cerebral palsy, ataxia might not be treatable. In that case, your doctor may be able to recommend adaptive devices. They include:
You might benefit from certain therapies, including:
The challenges you face when living with ataxia, such as loss of independence, or having a child with the condition, may make you feel alone or lead to depression and anxiety. Talking to a counselor or therapist may lessen your sense of isolation and help you cope. Or you may find encouragement and understanding in a support group, either for ataxia or for your underlying condition, such as cancer or multiple sclerosis.
Although support groups aren't for everyone, they can be good sources of information. Group members often know about the latest treatments and tend to share their own experiences. If you're interested, your doctor may be able to recommend a group in your area.

Getting Celebrated
The Ohio Glass Museum is located here in Lancaster, Ohio. Since 2002 they have been celebrating Ohio's tradition of producing both handmade and machine made glassware. They share the history of of glassware and the roll that Ohioans have played in its growth.
On May 15th an exhibit opened featuring Anchor Hocking and showcasing Gay Fad Studios. I attended the opening evening's event. Here I met former employees of Anchor Hocking, viewed portraits of I.J. Collins and other crucial leaders from the past and saw the very first sales record book dating back to 1905. The group from The Ohio Glass Museum did an excellent job collecting data, images and archival pieces of Anchorware.
"The exhibit will feature Anchor Hocking items from the morgue of the Anchor Hocking; collections of Verylene Summers, of the Summer House Antiques; our own museum archives; and a very few area collectors. These glass creations and other artifacts will tell the great story of Anchor Hocking's positive incluence on, and enormous contribution to, our community for the past 105 years." -- The Ohio Glass Museum
The show also displayed pieces of Gay Fad glassware, which is also from Lancaster, Ohio.
"Fran Taylor decorated wastebaskets and glass items in Detroit beginning in 1939. She moved her business to Lancaster in 1945 so it would be central to the glass industry. For the next 18 years Gay Fad Studios was one of the best known and most prolific glass decorating companies in the country. A large selection of items from Gay Fad historian and collector, Dr. Donna McGrady, of Indiana, will be featured in this exhibit, along with contributions of area collectors." -- The Ohio Glass Museum

Robert John Peters
Longtime Durango resident Robert John Peters, 85, died Sunday, Oct. 28, 2012, in Durango.
Known as Bob, Mr. Peters was born May 20, 1927, in Ignacio, the son of John and Ethel Peters. He grew up in Durango, attended Durango schools and graduated from Durango High School in 1945.
Early in his work life, Mr. Peters delivered telegrams on his bicycle around Durango. He applied for a position at Turner Investment Corp., and once the owners and managers discovered him, they never let him go, his family said. Throughout the formation and development of new business ventures, Mr. Peters always was directly involved in the business growth. He was known for his great diligence, his caregivers said. He also worked for Bank of Durango, Bank of the Southwest and United Banks of Colorado.
When we would start a new project, we would depend on Robert and keep him right by our side, Nick Turner, owner of Turner Securities, once said. He was a loyal employee, the Turner family said.
Mr. Peters also was a helpful and dedicated member of First United Methodist Church in Durango. He used his financial savvy and time to assist and help grow the local congregation.
He was beloved by our community, said Amy Allred, his friend and guardian. He was a kind, grateful and generous man. He was reserved and sometimes shy, but always a gentleman.
Mr. Peters enjoyed maintaining his home and associating with his neighbors. He spent many hours each day taking care of his Boston Terriers, including his most recent companion, Charley.
He is survived by his half-brother, Verdon Peters, of Pensacola, Fla.
A celebration of his life will be held at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 7, 2012, at First United Methodist Church, 2917 Aspen Drive. Burial will take place at Greenmount Cemetery in Durango.

She has been at Promega for 6 years and is currently a Group Leader developing applications for studies of global protein:protein and protein:DNA interactions using HaloTag technology, particularly those involved in epigenetics research.
The growing trend towards study of mammalian proteins in their native environment has presented specific challenges in the areas of protein expression and purification, monitoring trafficking events both spatially and temporally, and isolation of intact intracellular protein complexes. The HaloTag® technology, a multifunctional fusion protein tag, allows researchers to address each of these challenging research areas and overcome common barriers associated with standard fusion tags using a single protein fusion in combination with a variety of HaloTag® ligands each optimized for one of these specific applications.
This webinar will present data demonstrating use of the HaloTag® technology for optimized mammalian protein expression and purification, real-time imaging following trafficking in the cell, and isolation of multi-protein complexes, including large macromolecular complexes. Other products such as validated HaloTag® Clones from Kazusa, HaloLink™ Protein Array Systems and HaloCHIP™ Systems used to study protein:DNA complexes will also be highlighted.

Ford Motor Company Fund (Ford Fund), the philanthropic arm of Ford Motor Company, honored five FFA chapters for their work to develop safe driving campaigns in local communities. Scholarship in the amount of $2,500 were granted to each of the five winning chapters at this year's FFA National Convention which also coincided with the second annual National Teen Driver Safety Week. As well, this program will be implemented into The National FFA Organization. 2008 is the 60th anniversary of the Ford Motor Company's sponsorship of The National FFA Organization.
The Emery FFA Chapter of Castle Dale was one of the five winning chapters. Corinne Dalton, Castle Dale High School teacher and FFA advisor put together a proposal for the campaign on behalf of the FFA chapter.
"We have a program all lined out over the course of the next six months or so of ways to reach out to students and the community to educate them about safe driving," said Dalton. "The first thing we're going to do is get posters out by Halloween reminding students as they leave the school parking lot to drive carefully during their activities. Then we have guest columns planned with the local papers and public service announcements for the radio, among other things."
Ford's nationally recognized Ford Driving Skills for Life (Ford DSFL) program was used as the curriculum for the programs FFA chapters developed. Ford DSFL was created in 2003 in partnership with the Governors Highway Safety Association, in an effort designed to reduce teen crashes and fatalities in America.
"Through FFA, we do a lot of safety education with both the elementary and secondary grades already, particularly as it relates to bikes, four-wheelers and farm equipment," continued Dalton. "The driver safety campaign is a natural extension of that. Additionally the scholarship will allow us to pursue some leadership opportunities for our members. We're very pleased about that."
"The safety of teens in cars and trucks is a top priority of Ford," said Jim Vella, president, Ford Motor Company Fund and Community Services. "We are committed to supporting the FFA and we want to help these future leaders to succeed, from the start of their careers to the end - just like many of their parents and grandparents."
Other winning chapters include: Temple FFA - Temple, Ga.; Wilmot FFA - Wilmot, S.D.; Syracuse FFA - Syracuse, Neb.; Ripley FFA - Ripley, W.V.
National Teen Driver Safety Week Oct. 19-25, was created to increase awareness around the issue of teen driver safety, because vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death among teenagers, claiming nearly 7,000 teen lives a year. Experts have identified the lack of these skills to be the cause of approximately 60 percent of vehicle crashes for newly licensed drivers ages 16 - 19.
Ford DSFL consists of learning tools such as an interactive Web site which includes learning modules, quizzes, car care and driving tip videos, interactive games and an enhanced eco-driving curriculum. Free educator packets are available for students and parents to use at home, as well as teachers and administration in classrooms and communities. Additionally, in-school and community programs are created to meet the specific needs of communities and schools.
Ford Motor Company Fund and Community Services is committed to creating opportunities that promote corporate citizenship, philanthropy, volunteerism and cultural diversity for those who live in the communities where Ford does business. Established in 1949 and made possible by Ford Motor Company profits, Ford Motor Company Fund supports initiatives and institutions that foster innovative education, auto-related safety, and American heritage and legacy. National programs include Ford Partnership for Advanced Studies, which provides high school students with academically rigorous 21st century learning experiences, and Ford DSFL, a teen-focused auto safety initiative. The Ford Volunteer Corps, established in 2005, continues Ford's legacy of caring worldwide. Through the Volunteer Corps, salaried employees, union members, retirees and their families participate in a wide range of volunteer projects in their communities.
