Conquering a volcano
Swallows Charter Academy students explore 800-acre National Park in New Mexico
"Umm, Justin, I think that you have forgotten one thing ... you're the P.E. teacher and I'm the art teacher. How can we possibly take students to a volcano on an educational field study to New Mexico, since we aren't science teachers? "
Swallows Charter Academy's new science teacher was not starting until the following week but I wasn't entirely sold on the idea of escorting high school zoology and environmental science classes to another state to study volcanoes.
Wait, there's a volcano in New Mexico?
Justin said we could wing it, he would have them run up the volcano and I could have them draw a picture of it.
As I considered the proposal, he reminded me of how disappointed students would be at not getting to go on this much-anticipated trip.
Blackmail! Who can say no to sad-faced students?
So off we went, P.E. and Art leading students on a science adventure. Just 156 miles from SCA's campus is the Capulin Volcano National Monument, an 800-acre National Park housing this intact cinder cone volcano.
In 1916, this volcano was made a national monument because it's one of the few cone volcanoes that has not breached, which causes the cone to collapse on one side, making it look like a horse shoe rather than a cone.
We approached the entrance to the park, the vast expanse of sky and prairie, broken only by the occasional mounds of volcanic rock dotted around the horizon.
Rangers showed us to the housing facilities the park had prepared for students.
The boys stayed in a yurt, complete with cots, a kitchen, and full facilities.
This wood-framed canvas building was spacious and our students loved looking out of the clear top.
We girls stayed in a house that had plenty of beds and futons to accommodate us comfortably.
That evening, Park Rangers were anxious to start filling our heads with facts about the area and taking us on a tour of this geographic wonder.
As we drove from the four-mile circumference of the base up to the road to access the trail to the rim, we were all a little nervous about the lack of daylight.
Rangers, equipped with flashlights, led us up the mile long trail to the rim, situated 8182 feet above sea level.
Of course the P.E. teacher motored up the trail, espousing the benefits of exercise and how the squats he had students do in class help in building the quadriceps muscles we were using.
Those of us who internally rolled our eyes as our thighs burned, were suddenly distracted by the full moon rising in the sky.
The long, low horizon illuminated by a lunar flashlight was enhanced by the ranger's stories of the volcanoes on other planets and moons.
The following morning, students were enthusiastic volunteers for The Humming Bird Monitoring Project, a collaborative effort between Capulin Volcano National Monument and the Humming Bird Monitoring Network. This project serves to study the migration patterns of these birds as it relates to climate change.
Birds are collected for banding, tracking, and data collection.
Students took part in assisting the rangers by manning the trapping stations and collecting the birds and delivering them to the rangers for banding.
At the trapping station, Ranger Maggie (on internship from New York) demonstrated how to catch these small, fast birds.
Hummingbirds have intense metabolisms and need a lot of calories; they have weak legs and depend on their wings, so when they land, it's quick.
Students were then able to capture these petite birds, put them in small mesh bags, and deliver them to the rangers for data compilation.
Students watched as the skillful team would measure, weigh, and assess the age of these birds.
One of the most fascinating aspects to this process was how they ended the little bird's brief time in captivity.
Rangers would carefully hold the delicate bodies like a dart and using an exaggerated swooping motion, guided their little beaks in to the sugary stand of sweet calorie laden food.
This simulation of flight would encourage the miniature aviaries to drink to replenish their energy.
Soon, we found our way to an outdoor classroom where rangers had our students running from a sticky explosion of pretend lava as we simulated volcano eruptions by dropping Mentos into liter soda bottles.
We all became experts in being able to identify the 'cinders' (volcanic rock that's smaller than your fist) and 'bombs' (volcanic rock larger than your fist) as well as the ability to find Russian Thistle (tumble weed before it's a tumble weed).
As a service component to the field study, students and staff helped thin an unwelcomed, non-native, invasive weed.
Using weed pulling and a rope game as lessons in biodiversity, Rangers demonstrated the battle between consumers and producers.
We discussed what would happen if producers (plants) lost this fragile balance by having students play tug of war. The consumers would win, but have nothing left to eat and therefore die out as well. Students had the opportunity to collect as well as distribute seeds via small mudpacks. Of course the fastest way to deliver these seeds was throwing them! Teenagers and throwing mud: a match made in heaven.
As we split into two groups, one that wanted to see the rim of the volcano in the daylight and those who wanted to explore the fields around the base, we enjoyed the warm, cloudless New Mexico sun. The topography of the area is very similar to Pueblo West… Well, except for the volcanoes. We had discussions about how different we thought it would look and how our ideas of volcanoes were formed from movies and cartoons.
We all came out of the experience able to throw around science-y vernacular. Students, the P.E. teacher, the Art teacher, and our trusty bus driver/photographer, Mr. Jackson, all walked away from our trip feeling like we learned something. While still not an expert in cellular regeneration, I walked away with a much greater appreciation for the earth and its complexity.
As I thanked the rangers for their time, I told them that while I have the best job on the earth, they have the second best job.

Skip to comments.Noose controversy in the Brass City (CT)
Posted on 11/06/2007 8:03:26 AM PST by Puppage
Waterbury (WTNH) _ A noose hanging as a Halloween display is sending a frightening message to members of the community.
"Recently there has been a lot of hype around it so you can imagine how it could make anyone feel, African-American in particular," said the president of the Greater Waterbury NAACP, Jimmie Griffin.
Griffin received numerous phone calls about the hanging man so he drove to Homestead Avenue to check it out for himself and to ask the homeowner to take it down.
"It brings back some bad memories about our history in this country," said Griffin.
News Channel 8 approached the unidentified homeowner as he was on his way out.
"You known that this reminds African-Americans of lynchings that were done in the South," said Griffin to the homeowner.
"Yeah, but that was not the intention," the homeowner responded.
The homeowner went on to say that the hanging man is a Halloween decoration and neighbors says the home always gets into the Halloween spirit.
"Yeah, they always decorate their house, they are very likable people," said neighbor Salvatore Boiano.
Griffin says that may be the case, but the symbolism of the noose is extremely sensitive and others should be aware of that.
"It seems to me that lately it's hard for people to not know that nooses are an embarrassment to hang anymore," Griffin said.
The homeowner did say he will remove the noose this evening.
Umm, no, I can't.
"It brings back some bad memories about our history in this country," said Griffin.
And, I suppose car tires remind people of......
No noose is good noose?..............
How many Black people were hanged at Salem in 1692?
Ah, yes, the Great Noose Craze of 2007. Brought to you by PC MSM everywhere.
The people in Salem were hanged for Black Magic, not black skin.............
"You known that this reminds African-Americans of lynchings that were done in the South," said Griffin to the homeowner.
I would've responded. "Um, ok....how's that my problem?"
This is soooooooooo stupid. I've been hanging dummies from flagpoles at holloween since I was 12 years old. No one ever complained here in CT before.
A noose bit my sister once.........
Speaking of nooses, I enjoyed watching Clint Eastwood and Inger Stevens in "Hang 'em High" last night.
What if the person being suspended is a white coal mine worker?
I think I deja vu'ed this.
Mod, if you feel this should be deleted, please do so.
I see the OSM (old stream media) talking points emails have went out and they involve nooses.
As a history, in 2000 if anyone recalls it was James Byrd and Churches being burned in the South and Midwest..as a way to gin up the African American vote for Dhimmis, well, the Dhimmis are no longer infavor of churches, so they have to find something to keep the story line alive...and here we have nonsensical Halloween noose refernces in place of Burnt Churches...
The template, unlike the subject, never changes....
Lets see, how many whites met the same fate out west?
Come on, Jimmie...get on the ball! This was for a Halloween display, and you're only just now getting around to complaining about it? Usually you can sniff out those racist white devils almost instantaneously.
- "It brings back some bad memories about our history in this country," said Griffin.
- You known that this reminds African-Americans of lynchings that were done in the South," said Griffin to the homeowner.
- Griffin says ... symbolism of the noose is extremely sensitive and others should be aware of that.
- "It seems to me that lately it's hard for people to not know that nooses are an embarrassment to hang anymore," Griffin said.
Get over it mr perpetually offended Jimmie Griffin and NAACP. And if I was the homeowner I'd have two words for you and here's a hint -- they ain't 'Happy Kwanzaa'.
Grow a spine people - get a sense of humor.
Actually the church problem was earlier in the '90s.
"Griffin says ... symbolism of the noose is extremely sensitive and others should be aware of that."
You know, I was NEVER aware of this "sensitivity" until this year.
They (Dhimmis) used it all the time to try and push for so called Federal Hate Crimes Legislation, the NAACP used Byrd's death against GWB because he vetoed TX hate crimes laws..
I remember seeing nooses at Halloween beginning many years ago. I think it's stupid, ghoulish, ridiculous and a total waste of time and money. But it's not racist. In the past few months the race-baiters decided that they would add one more thing to the huge list of things that are automatically called racist: ropes. Now the FBI investigates ropes. Why didn't it investigate ropes last year and the year before? Because NO ONE considered ropes racist!
Why we could all guess that if an abortion suction aspirator machine was depicted as Halloween decor, that folks would be up in arms about that, too.
These nooses have probably been used as Halloween displays for years. As you say, why is it only becoming a problem now?
In any case I have to wonder how much longer this country can last when certain segments get offended by simple meaningless child like holiday decorations. If this is something that is going to divide us, how can we stand up to the terrorists?? Just like certain presidential candidates and their supporters flying off the handle because reporters ask them tough questions. And then they have the nerve to say Bush treats the media badly!
I wonder if this is more "frightening" then when people leave the downtown office late to walk to their cars, or when they get onto the mass transit and realize they're the only white person there?
I wonder if the author of this report has ever been so "frightened" and whether he/she chose to editorialize on that experience?
Wait until we can't buy white sheets anymore because they offend somebody. Shaking my head again.
I collapse and break into tears at the sight of a knife because of the history of scalping settlers by "Native Americans". My lawsuits against any store with a housewares section have been very lucrative.
Not to mention how the sight of a box of saltines puts me in a suicidal depression because of the decades of abuse by "African Americans" calling us "crackers".
If you put up a heated outhouse as a hallow'en decoration it wouldn't be long before you were accused of being and Ezra Taft Benson!
I had a hanging man in my front tree also, probably purchased from the same internet merchant. I was waiting for someone to complain but it never happened. In fact, I always get compliments on my halloween decorations..........
...geez, what is the world coming too?
He's served/serving (not sure about his release date) time in the Wyoming state pen for cattle rustling.
Considering some of his other local dealings, including with us before we found out what a shady character he is, I wouldn't be surprised to find out he was related to Mr. Haney, and had stolen & eaten Arnold.
Does this belong in Breaking Noose?
It is insane & I have had it. I can go to a black part of the town next to me & be called all kinds of nasty names & nobody is going to say sh-t about it if I complain. They will say well you shouldn't have been in that part of town. These asinine double standards need to stop asap.
The authorities have been droning out that lame excuse for decades.

Skip to comments.Pelosi: Pope Francis Starting to Sound Like a Nun
Posted on 09/23/2013 6:35:38 PM PDT by marshmallow
(CNSNews.com) Pope Francis is starting to sound like a nun, said House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), a Catholic, when asked about some of the Popes recent remarks concerning issues such as abortion and homosexuality.
In a Sept. 22 interview on CNNs Situation Room, host Candy Crolwey asked Pelosi, Before we go, Pope Francis is calling for a new balance between the chruchs spiritual and political missions. He says the Catholic Church should not interfere spiritually in the lives of gays. He also called for a larger decision-making role for Catholic women. We ask Nancy Pelosi , one of the nations most prominent Catholics, for her reaction.
Pelosi said, Starting to sound like a nun. The Pope is starting to sound like the nuns.
Now, his Holiness is obviously a very revered figure, said Pelosi. I was there for his inauguration. And I being Catholic believed that he was chosen Pope by the intercession of the Holy Spirit, so I pay attention to what he says. And I can tell you that there is great joy among Catholics and friends of Catholics as to respect that his Holiness pays to all of Gods creation and members of the church and then beyond that. Its really quite remarkable. Its a source of joy to us all. -
(Excerpt) Read more at cnsnews.com ...
I can't wait til he ex communicates her. She's about as Catholic as Anthony Weiner.
Will the Vatican allow Pelosi to keep spewing her attacks on them forever?
Nancy is displaying the symptoms of dementia. She also said, "The sun sounds like grape juice". She's lost her mind.
My advice to Pelousy: Don't let the crucifix her your arse on the way out...
This is such a bald faced lie. When did he say that?
"Abortion is sacred to me."
What does that sound like?
Pelosi is starting to sound like an old Soviet Prime Minister.
Her God is the naked power of the confiscatory tyrannical state.
She is insane evil.
But the Pope himself would grant her communion. Elitists stick together.
Nasty doesn't have much time before she gets to pay the piper.
I wouldn't be surprised if she is a closet Satanist.
I don't mean that in jest, either. It's actually becoming quite plausible, to me anyhow, that there are any number of people in high positions of power and wealth that have purposely and intentionally aligned themselves with evil.
Some may simply be amoral atheists who have joined with others of similar character to build their own power and wealth, others might go further and actively engage in demonic worship.
Pelosi is definitely on my list of suspects for the latter. Her "abortion is sacred to me" sounds too much like an inadvertent paean to Moab or some other dark power for me to dismiss it out of hand.
Maybe the people warning about Illuminati were more correct than they were wrong.
Patriot Babe: Pelosi is starting to sound like she has escaped from a Mental Hospital.
and Pelosi is also about as female as a eunuch in drag.
Me either. I am predicting one of them will redefine heaven and hell and we will see them all come out to worship Satan in large numbers.
This article makes me want to puke. This woman shames Catholicism..
I take it NP means the Pope is 'coming around' to the womyn's way of thinking on murder and sodomy.
Nancy, if you're listening, you're no spring chicken, and any day now could be your last. Best to take action now to trust Christ as your savior, so you don't die in your sins. Eternity is a long time.
Excommunicate that heretic.
What does that sound like?
The culture of death.
Is this satire? She's really saying that stuff about the Holy Spirit?
This can't be real...someone like her, there's no way she talks like that.
He didn't, of course. Candi's probably reading what some staffer put in front of her, who in turn probably read something on the Huffington Post.
Anyways, Nancy appears to have lost her last marble.
Remember this is Candy Crowley we're talking about. She probably got it directly from Pelosi before the interview.
Which nuns? The ones who have gray hair (so do I == so nothing against gray hair) and are dissenting from church teaching?
that dimwit is in for a rude awakening...the Catholic CANNOT change its position on homosexuality nor abortion.
Even if somebody handed that to Candi, she's an idiot for reading it aloud. What in blazes does it mean to "interfere spiritually in the lives of gays"???
I'd say that Nancy is starting to sound as if she has severe dementia, but she's sounded like this as long as I can remember. May God grant her the grace of repentance before it's too late.
".....there are any number of people in high positions of power and wealth that have purposely and intentionally aligned themselves with evil."...
Especially in Washington and most definitely those currently in the White House.
What a remarkably stupid statement. But it's Pelosi so I expect stupid statements.
Congratulations Francis. Your first official action.

QUOTE (Jetsfan115 @ May 18 2005, 01:02 PM)
I only listed the most recent. Zelda was a true RPG and the first 3 FFs sucked. Only 4 and 7 were decent. Definitely not revolutionary. The same choice menu. A hybrid was more like parasite eve not Zelda. Zelda had the right idea. FF bores you too much. D&D were great RPGs as well but the newer ones sucked. And I never played eye of the beholder. Like I said I had almost every system since calico. Minus sega Saturn and dreamcast. I'll name all the ones I had. Calico, Atari, Nintendo, super Nintendo, sega genisis, PS1, Nintendo 64, GC, PS2, and xbox. I know RPGs. FF might be popular now only because what else does PS2 have? That's why. Its like the only RPG for play station. That's why its popular. If I didn't have a choice I would play it too.
You keep shwoing your ignorance. As I already said, and if you actually did some research you would know this, no game at the time of the first FF had a soundtrack as that game (and even more so in the next three) did. THose were masterful soundtracks that have all been released as albums in Japan. The reason games like Halo have great soundtracks NOW, is because FF did it THEN.
Also as I already said, games back then didn't have storylines like FF. Rarely did was there extended dialogue scenes or did charcters go through any notable personality changes. The FFs were the games that took storylines seriously and worked them into the console system.
And as you can't see why Zelda is less of an RPG than Final Fantasy:
Let me explain what an RPG is. An RPG was, in its first form, a text game. The first and most famous of these was of course Dungeons and Dragons. A text RPG is based around a few things. There is a fairly complex system for measuring stats (such as strength, speed, intelligence, and experience gained). These systems are used to develop the charcters into more powerful entites. But because D&D was originally played by a GM verbally informing the other players of what was happening, letting them choose their reactions, and then using dice as a result (most importantly because all this was done without any physical representation of the world the charcters inhabitated) the game also emphasized storytelling. It was important for the GM to be able to relate what a monster, what the enviroment the charcters were in, what everything looked and/or smelled like. Thus RPGs became a genre in which a story was the binding force of the action. THe most successful RPGs have always been ones with well thought out plots. (also, let me emphasize again that the RPG has a tradition of havign no physical representation of the actual game, although later players began using drawn mazes and caves and scale modeled figures)
Early in the life of home computers developers were already trying to take these games and translate their systems into a video games. THe first truley successfull attempt were three games that used a first person view and a functional version of the D&D numbers system. From "rolling dice" to create your charcter to "rolling dice" to turn back and attack or resist a magic spell, these games simulated teh whole experience.
Now, with the Genre there, a lot of games started to come out based on the same ideas. Mostly they were semi-plot driven stories about a hero trying to save his village or lost love, and in the process getting some new equipment and some more life or magic powers. But for a long time nothing came out that really changed things. Then RPGs kind of forked (as I already pointed out, these two games were released within a month of each other).
On the one hand, there was Zelda. The first two Zelda games had simple stat increases (life and magic meters) and a couple weapon upgrades. But the game tended towards action as you moved the charcter around, fought monsters in real time, and in general had a much more physical game. In general, Zleda tended more towards a Bayou Billy or Byonic Commando than D&D.
Then there was Final Fantasy. FF tended towards the more true D&D style of RPG. THere was a large overworld map, and moving into areas triggered a shift into a smaller area. The charcters were much less linear than in many previous RPGs, and much more similar to D&D where you could choose your's charcter class, spells, armor from a wide assortment. When you fought a monster (which was essentailly a random event, with no monsters appearing on the overworld map), you were shifted to a batlle screen where you choose what type of attack to do and the game worked out what happened.
In addition, FF (and they really took it to new heights with IV) was the first console game with a fairly complex plot. The FFs (and I especially mean I-VI and IX) were extremly plot heavy (and so I guess could be called "boring" by some people more interested in action based games) that emphasized charcters' personalitys, their reaction to events, and charcter development.
Today, so many genres are so mixed it is hard not to start labeling most games with multiple names (action/RPG/adventure or FPS/action), and in particular many games made in the current era tend to have many elements of RPG. But a true RPG is always going to be a game that has a noticable nod to it's D&D heritage.
So I hope you see why Final Fantasy is a series that is by far more RPG than many others. As a side note, and I kinda of hinted at this earlier, the first...First Person games were RPGs. So those original D&D games were some of the literally most revolutinary games ever made.

Plans to put the Territorial Army at the heart of Britain's defence strategy are in jeopardy because of falling troop numbers and a threat of new disciplinary measures that could prompt more people to leave, The Times can reveal.
The TA has shed about 1,000 reservists annually for the past three years, according to internal figures.
It must increase recruitment by 66 per cent this year to stand a chance of hitting the target of a fully trained reserve force of 30,000 by 2018.
Adding to the challenge, army documents show that the Ministry of Defence is looking at methods,

The digital agricultural atlas of the Union of Myanmar is a collection of GIS-derived maps, tabular data and related documents depicting political, physical and agricultural resources in Myanmar. Data are integrated in a "warehouse" framework, which is the core component of FAO's Dynamic Atlas technology. Dynamic Maps is the free GIS software that displays data warehouses.
The atlas contains general layers from international data providers and agricultural-related layers generated from 2001-2002 statistics collected at state/division, district and township level. Tabular information and maps are linked to build a geographical information system for agricultural resource managers.
The atlas derives from studies carried out by the FAO Investment Centre under the framework of the project "Myanmar Agriculture Sector Review: Analysis and Investment Strategy Formulation".
The 2007 IPCC assessment unequivocally states that humans have significantly changed the composition of the atmosphere and that, as a result, our climate is changing. To be able to attribute the causes of climate change, analyse the potential impacts, evaluate the adaptation options and enable characterization of extreme events such as floods, droughts and heat waves, globally consistent sets of observational data are needed. Without such baseline data it will not be possible develop the products needed by policy and other stakeholders. The climate observing system in the terrestrial domain is, however, still poorly developed, while at the same time there is increasing significance being placed on terrestrial data for impact, adaptation and mitigation activities. The precise quantification of the rate of climate change also remains important to determine whether feedback or amplification mechanisms, in which the terrestrial surface plays an important role, are operating within the climate system.

we should have just listened to glen beck to start with, he may say some crazy stuff some times but he did kind of call this mess.
It was obvious to anyone who payed attention that it was coming. This mess happened because, dot-com bubble burst in year 2000, 9/11 happened, then the housing market when under around 2008. Plus Bush never listed the war in Iraq and Afghanistan in his budgets so you got to add a couple of trillion on top of that.
I also found this awesome interactive graphic that shows exactly what Obama's budget entails.
Looking at that it's no wonder there's so much opposition to a public healthcare option over there.

The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

These are a little on the large side, but I like that they are 200 mg so it's fewer pills to take (I take 600 mg). They are smooth and I don't have any problems taking them. Magnesium glycinate is very absorbable and I have never had digestive problems like I did with magnesium oxide or citrate. This is probably the most important supplement I take. When I skip it I regret it. It helps me sleep wonderfully when taken at bedtime and gives me more energy during the day. Also helps control sugar cravings and keeps appetite normal and healthy. My senses of hearing and touch also benefit in that they are no longer overly sensitive causing discomfort. My autistic son has seen many of the same benefits.

Best magnesium product i ever had!
good product
Posted by mamapia5 on May 21, 2016
I have been using this product now for three weeks and I haven't has as many leg cramps as I used to. I am very satified. Tablets could be some what smaller or smoother for easier to swollow. I will continue to use them.
using poorly absorbed magnesium
Posted by Reviewer1613928 on Apr 20, 2016
I have fibromyalgia and was taking this to help with my muscles. This was working fairly well in keeping my muscle cramps at bay, but they must've changed the formula yet again. The blend is glycinate & oxide but who knows the ratio of the two could've changed to them using more oxide to cut costs. It could be more like a 50/50 ratio. That's what it feels like because both me & my husband are suffering from an increased amount of muscle cramps. Oxides are so poorly absorbed that out of a 500mg dose you're lucky if you're absorbing 12mg. Don't waste you're money on this. Looks like I'm going to have to switch to the Dr. Best brand. There's is all glycinate.
Posted by Anaterma on Jan 12, 2016
good one but way too expensive
Update: formula changed
Posted by Reviewer2631717 on May 09, 2015
I wanted to order this again, but now the the bottle contains magnesium oxide! My almost empty bottle only states magnesium glycinate. Was the old description wrong or did they change the formula? Our doctor ordered us to take Magnesium ONLY in the chelated form - not the oxide form. She said magnesium glyconate is a good absorbable and most important, a cheap form. For some people it might react with their antidepressants to lower their mood, but in others it might even make them less depressed. Seems to be a very subjective thing.

Oral Questions
3 p.m.
The Speaker Andrew Scheer
There are still too many conversations in the House. The hon. member for Beauharnois—Salaberry has the floor and all hon. members should give her their attention.
The Environment
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Anne Minh-Thu Quach Beauharnois—Salaberry, QC
Mr. Speaker, this program has helped us make outstanding discoveries, especially in terms of the effects of acid rain and pollutants on freshwater ecosystems.
Unfortunately, the Conservatives have decided to end the funding for the program. Its elimination will have major consequences that will jeopardize the health of Canadians, our water and our environment.
Why are they putting Canadians' health at risk?
The Environment
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Peter Kent Minister of the Environment
Mr. Speaker, as I said in my previous answer, the experimental lakes program has proved invaluable over the decades. It did inform the writing of the acid rain treaty. However, our knowledge of the impact of acid rain from the American industrial region is very broad and deep. We are now moving our science father west where there are acid-sensitive lakes and where research is required.
Natural Resources
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Bob Zimmer Prince George—Peace River, BC
Mr. Speaker, the NDP leader has shamefully attacked Canadians who work in Canada's resource sectors by calling the industries that provide their communities with jobs a "disease" to Canada. This irresponsible position is offensive to Canadians everywhere.
Could the Minister of Natural Resources please update the House on the government's position regarding resource industry jobs?
Natural Resources
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Joe Oliver Minister of Natural Resources
Mr. Speaker, a new study from the Conference Board of Canada and the Business Development Bank of Canada has found that, contrary to the ideological views of the NDP leader, massive investment in the oil and gas and mining sectors is fueling growth in industries ranging from manufacturing to engineering.
Pierre Cléroux of the BDC said:
It is interesting to note that the economic boom linked to oil and gas and mining activities is benefiting many industries--not only in Western Canada, but throughout the country.
The NDP's divisive view that Canada's resource industries are a disease is irresponsible—

The hon. member for Portneuf—Jacques-Cartier.
Neuville Airport
Oral Questions
3:05 p.m.
Élaine Michaud Portneuf—Jacques-Cartier, QC
Mr. Speaker, let us see what excuse the Minister of Transport will use today to wash his hands of the Neuville airport.
Last week, I was in Saskatoon at the FCM conference, where 1,600 mayors unanimously asked the federal government to consult them before building private airports in their municipalities. At the same conference, the minister stated that he was very willing to work with the municipalities. That is a clear commitment.
Will the minister keep his promise and work with the municipality of Neuville on the airport file?
Neuville Airport
Oral Questions
3:05 p.m.
Denis Lebel Minister of Transport
Mr. Speaker, that is unbelievable.
The town met with the developers seven times. The developer received a plan with seven possible sites from the town. It was the town that provided the plan. The town signed a memorandum of understanding with the developers. If that is not being consulted, I wonder what is. There were seven meetings and the developer decided to use a parcel of land proposed by the town. That is no longer consultation, that is an agreement. Just because the mayor wants to rip up a memorandum of understanding, that does not mean that it is not valid.
We will continue to do what must be done. In future, we will analyze the scenario and all possible options, but this matter is closed.
Fisheries and Oceans
Oral Questions
3:05 p.m.
Elizabeth May Saanich—Gulf Islands, BC
Mr. Speaker, the hon. memer for Trinity—Spadina already raised today in question period the decisive vote of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities urging the government to remove non-budgetary environmental items from Bill C-38.
My question is for the Minister of Fisheries, since he has repeatedly referenced FCM as a supporter of the bill and in fact said, "countless other municipal leaders have been calling for these types of reforms for many years". Now that we can count them on the fingers of one hand, will the government admit it made a mistake in going after and gutting the Fisheries Act in Bill C-38?
Fisheries and Oceans
Oral Questions
3:05 p.m.
New Brunswick
Keith Ashfield Minister of Fisheries and Oceans and Minister for the Atlantic Gateway
Mr. Speaker, I have said many times that we are focusing our fish and fish habitat protection on Canada's fisheries. In fact, it is true that municipalities across the country have indicated to me on many ocassions that the red tape they have to go through for work in and around minor waterways is excessive.
I have a quote from the Federation of Canadian Municipalities that says, "By reducing the time municipal employees are forced to spend filling out forms...the changes will make it faster and less expensive for local governments to perform routine public services".
Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics
Points of Order
Oral Questions
3:05 p.m.
Dean Del Mastro Parliamentary Secretary to the Prime Minister and to the Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs
Mr. Speaker, my point of order arises out of an event that occurred today at the Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics.
During the meeting, while witnesses were providing testimony in response to one of the members of the committee, a member of the media, Kady O'Malley with CBC, approached the member for Avalon at the committee table and requested to see an in camera report, and it was provided by the member for Avalon. I recognize that the breach by the member is an issue to be dealt with by the committee itself, but the conduct of the member of the media, in my view, very clearly breaches the procedures of the committee.
Could you please review that, Mr. Speaker, and report back to the House on the proper etiquette by members of the media and their conduct at committee?
Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics
Points of Order
Oral Questions
3:05 p.m.
The Speaker Andrew Scheer
I appreciate the point raised by the hon. parliamentary secretary. When events transpire at committee, it is up to the committee to deal with anything that may have breached protocol or the rules at the committee. I appreciate him raising it in the House and if there is a report presented to the House, it will be something that the Speaker can then weigh in on.
Access to Information
Oral Questions
3:05 p.m.
Mauril Bélanger Ottawa—Vanier, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise on a question of privilege. I want to bring to your attention a situation which I believe may be a breach of my privilege in that it is hindering me in my capacity to do my work as a member of Parliament.
About a month ago, I called the office of a president of a crown corporation to obtain some information. I had dealt with that office in previous years and had obtained information. This time, I was told that I had to put the request through to the office of the minister responsible for that corporation.
A couple of days later, I asked that minister in the House for a briefing. I was told that the minister would see to it and that I would hear later. This was before the May constituency week. After the May constituency week, I had not heard, so I asked the minister again in the House. I still have not heard and I need this information to do my work. I had hoped to have it by the weekend, because I am attending a convention for which the information is required.
I am asking not for privileged information, secret information, cabinet documents or anything like that. Nor am I asking for government strategy. I am asking for facts and an ability to meet with officials to ask them questions about these facts.
I am advised that another member of the House had asked and was offered such a briefing. That member happens to be on the government side, and I wonder if the fact that I am on the opposition side has anything to do with it.
I am aware that if a briefing were to be offered to me, my question of privilege would be moot. However, it has not been and I have not heard. Therefore, I am bringing this to your attention, Mr. Speaker. You will notice I have not mentioned specifics because my intent is not to aggravate, antagonize, attack or criticize. It is strictly to obtain information to allow me to do my work as the Liberal advocate for co-operatives.
If you would like to look at this, Mr. Speaker, I would gladly provide you with more detailed information in order to assist you in your determination. Should you determine that there is, indeed, a breach of parliamentary privilege or a prima facie breach of parliamentary privilege, I would be happy to move the appropriate motion.
Access to Information
Oral Questions
3:10 p.m.
The Speaker Andrew Scheer
I appreciate the hon. member raising this. I will ask him for a little more information and then come back to the House in due course.
Oral Questions
June 5th, 2012 / 3:10 p.m.
Paul Dewar Ottawa Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, if you seek it I believe you would find unanimous consent for the following motion on Syria. I move, seconded by the Minister of International Cooperation and the member for Mount Royal:
That the House continue to support measures which
(a) condemn the brutal massacre of Syrian civilians by government forces in clear violation of earlier commitments;
(b) call for an immediate end to the violence, especially the attacks on civilians;
(c) support the Joint Special Envoy of the UN and Arab League efforts to establish a ceasefire and implement the six-point peace plan;
(d) call for unrestricted access to the country for the international media;
(e) support the government's decision to expel Syrian diplomats in protest to the latest atrocities in Syria;
(f) call on the international community to speak with one voice clearly and categorically condemning the violence and working to bring about a complete cessation of hostilities;
(g) urge the leadership of China and Russia to play an active and decisive role in achieving an effective ceasefire that saves the lives of innocent civilians as well as negotiating a road map to reforms that respond to the democratic aspirations of the Syrian people;
(h) continue Canada's humanitarian aid to refugees and to internally displaced persons fleeing violence in Syria, as needed, and;
(i) stand in solidarity with those who aspire for peace, democratic governance and the protection of human rights.

An Cessna 182 that took off from Rocky Mountain Metro Airport in Jefferson County, Colo. on Tuesday and later fell off radar screens about 3:30 p.m. in the Holy Cross Wilderness area, was purported to be registered in Carbon County on Wednesday morning..
In a 2 p.m. (MDT) press release the Eagle County Sheriffs Department reported that the aircraft had been located by a National Guard Helicopter about one tenth of a mile east of Lake Josephine. The location of the lake is about eight miles east-northeast of Thomasville and about 40 miles east of Basalt.
According to the Aspen times the ground search had been called off just after midday on Wednesday, but the sheriffs department said in a later release that volunteers from the Vail Mountain Rescue Group and Western Eagle County Search and Rescue were assisting with ground operations. Reports from the National Guard spotters said that they considered the crash "unsurvivable."
According to the release, the pilot of the plane was the only one on board. At this posting the name of the pilot had not been released.

Asian-Americans generally have lower rates of overweight and obesity than other groups. But that is beginning to change in some subgroups. And as rates of overweight and obesity in the United States continue to rise, all Americans are at risk.
Being overweight or obese increases your risk of:
Obesity or overweight is measured with a body mass index (BMI). The taller you are, the more weight you can carry. And shorter people can't carry as much weight. So, the BMI shows the relationship of weight to height. For instance, if you are 5 feet 4 inches tall and weigh 145 pounds, your BMI is 25. But if you are 5 feet 4 inches tall and weigh 174 pounds, your BMI is 30. Women with a BMI of 25 to 29.9 are considered overweight. Women with a BMI of 30 or more are considered obese. Some experts believe the BMI cutoffs for overweight and obesity should be lower for Asians. Research has shown that Asian populations have higher heart disease risk than Western populations at any BMI level. They also have higher rates of diabetes at "normal" BMI levels.
Talk to your doctor to find out what BMI you should aim for. If you are overweight or obese, losing weight can lower your risk of many health problems. And physical activity is one key part of weight loss and keeping a healthy weight. Health benefits are gained by doing the following each week:
This physical activity should be in addition to your routine activities of daily living, such as cleaning or spending a few minutes walking from the parking lot to your office. If weight loss is your goal, you may need to spend more time doing aerobic activity to see the effects.
Eating healthy meals that focus on portion control also plays a role in weight loss and keeping a healthy weight. If you need to lose weight, ask your doctor to help you with a weight-loss plan that includes healthy meal planning and physical activity.

Lemon Sugar Cookies
I love all kinds of cookies, but traditional sugar cookies with frosting have never been my favorite. I am just not a frosting gal. (I am sure if you put a frosted sugar cookie in front of me, I would eat it, but they just aren't my favorite.) I do adore Lemon Sugar Cookies-they are soft, chewy, and rolled in sugar. These cookies are simple, elegant, and perfect for spring.
The recipe includes lemon zest and fresh lemon juice so the cookies have a delightful lemon flavor. The cookies are soft and chewy in the middle with slightly crisp edges. Even though the cookies are "sugar" cookies and rolled in sugar, they aren't overly sweet-making it easy to eat cookie after cookie:)
Ring in spring with a batch of Lemon Sugar Cookies. They are light, refreshing, and the perfect treat for a sunny day.
Make sure you enter our giveaway to win a copy of Our Best Bites cookbook. You have until tomorrow to enter!
Lemon Sugar Cookies
Yield: 3 dozen cookies
Cook Time: 8-10 minutes
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
Zest of 2 large lemons
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup granulated sugar for rolling cookies
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
3. Using a mixer, beat together butter and sugar until smooth and creamy.
4. Add lemon zest, egg, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Mix until combined. Gradually blend in the dry ingredients.
5. Roll rounded tablespoons of dough into balls and roll in sugar. Place on prepared baking sheets, about 1 1/2 inches apart.

French Paintings from the Musée Fabre, Montpellier
National Gallery of Australia
7 November 2003 – 15 February 2004
The National Gallery of Australia's major summer exhibition, French Paintings from the Musée Fabre, Montpellier, opens on 5 November 2003. The show covers three centuries of French painting from the golden age in the seventeenth century to the rise of Impressionism in the late nineteenth century, drawing exclusively from the holdings of this renowned French museum.
The Musée Fabre, which opened in 1828, is one of France's oldest public museums and holds one of the country's most outstanding art collections, represented in this exhibition by 84 works from 55 French artists.
French Paintings from the Musée Fabre, Montpellier is organised by the Gallery in close collaboration with the Musée Fabre and includes many of the best-known and most representative French painters from the Baroque, Neo-classical, Romantic and Impressionist movements, including key figures in art history such as Nicolas Poussin, Eugène Delacroix, Gustave Courbet, Berthe Morisot and Edgar Degas.
'This exhibition presents a unique opportunity for the Australian public to visit and appreciate an outstanding survey of French art and culture', notes Brian Kennedy, Director of the National Gallery of Australia.
Michel Hilaire, Director of the Musée Fabre, says, 'The Musée Fabre in Montpellier, France, stands out for the quality of its paintings, amassed over the years by a handful of discerning collectors, all native to the region and proud to contribute towards the creation of a first-class museum outside the nation's capital.'
The artist and collector François-Xavier Fabre founded the museum in 1828 and its collection grew through his generosity and that of such notable benefactors as the wealthy banker Antoine Valedau and Alfred Bruyas, an artist and passionate collector who donated a group of exceptional paintings by Delacroix and Courbet.
A well-known masterpiece from the collection is Courbet's iconic painting The Meeting or Good Day, Monsieur Courbet. This work documents the close friendship between the painter and patron and is one of the most widely discussed of all Modernist paintings, or, as Michel Hilaire concludes, 'one of the gems of the Bruyas collection and a work that is pivotal to the understanding of nineteenth-century Modernism'.
The show opens with a wonderful selection of works created under the reign of Louis XIII in the Baroque era, among them exquisite paintings by Poussin and Jacques Stella, and continues with works by Simon Vouet and Laurent de La Hyre, painted during the sumptuous reign of Louis XIV.
The carefully selected works of the eighteenth century reflect the evolution from an official French painting style to an extremely playful and sensual art, characterised by the dazzling paintings of Jean Ranc and Jean-Baptiste Greuze. The nineteenth century is represented by sublime Neo-classical landscapes and conversation pieces. Later works demonstrate the radical innovation and breakthroughs of French art at the threshold of Impressionism and the origin of Modern Art. A splendid group of paintings by Delacroix, Courbet, Morisot and Degas herald the significant changes in French society and their impact on daily life, and superbly illustrate that these artists captured the world in a new, spontaneous way, translating reality into daring compositions full of shimmering light and vivid colours.

Dropping the Klefbom
June 26 2011 07:39AM
Oscar Klefbom is a fine young defenseman with a bright future. The Edmonton Oilers didn't tip their hand as to how much they liked him, but we should have known he would be high on their list. Why? Read on.
It's an annual "happening" for Stu MacGregor era drafts. The Edmonton Oilers love their combines, and the NHL combine is becoming a personal check list for the Oildrop. Consider the last two Combine invite lists and the Oilers final draft list
2010 Oilers draft list
- L Taylor Hall YES
- R Tyler Pitlick YES
- D Martin Marincin YES
- L Curtis Hamilton YES
- C Ryan Martindale YES
- D Jeremie Blain NO
- G Tyler Bunz YES
- D Brandon Davidson YES
- L Drew Czerwonka NO
- F Kristians Pelss NO
- F Kellen Jones NO
Impressive. Seven of eleven, and every pick in the first three rounds attended the NHL combine. As I understand it, the National Hockey League invites the top 100 players for that season's draft to the workout and evaluation weekend. If a team drafted and average number from the Combine list, you should expect 3.3 players per season.
Did this theory stand up for another year?
2011 Oilers draft list
- C Ryan Nugent-Hopkins YES
- D Oscar Klefbom YES
- D David Musil YES
- G Samu Perhonen YES (only Euro based goalie at the combine!)
- C Travis Ewanyk YES
- D Dillon Simpson NO
- C Tobias Rieder YES
- D Martin Gernat NO
- G Frans Tuohimma NO
Six of nine. Over the last two seasons, 59% of the kids selected by the Oilers attended the combine. That's 13 players total, during a time we might have expected 7 (or about half of the total). It lends credence to my theory on the Oilers current draft tendencies, which are:
- Trust the consensus, especially in the first two rounds.
- If you make a reach pick, for crying out loud do it in the third round and beyond.
- draft heavily in the CHL, Sweden, Finland and oh yeah Slovaks are cool too.
Here are the areas Edmonton has drafted from during the MacGregor years (2008-11). Anything in bold means at least one selection from this year's draft:
- Sweden: 4
- Finland: 4
- Slovakia: 2
- Belarus: 1
The Edmonton Oilers are drafting out of the Western League in a way that resembles the mid-70's Islanders. Let's hope it pays off in a similar fashion (four Stanley's).
June 26 2011, 10:22PM
Can't go wrong with the good old WHL. I like what we have done with the draft over the past few seasons and they are making their early picks while reaching for a few home runs in the later rounds.
Interesting 2012 prospect list 15 first round D-men
June 26 2011, 11:07PM
Hey LT good show on Friday night I listened too all your coverage of the first round while I was driving home and I think you guys did a great job. But I have to ask you what was with the Brent Burns talk. When you guys heard about that trade you were talking about how the Sharks paid such a big price for a guy who had a fairly inconsistent season and needs to step up his game. I know that the Sharks gave up a lot for him but I would take him on my team anyday. Last year he had career highs in goals, assists, points, penalty minutes, shots on goal, and played in 80 games. he was third in goals for all defencemen with 17 and was 2 PIMs shy of 100 for the season and was on the all star team. He is also a beast of a guy (I think 6'4 or 6'5) and is pretty mobile for his size. he is also still pretty young so I was just wondering what the beef was. All of that seems worth what the sharks gave up for him especially when you consider he will be on the PP with Thornton and Boyle setting up his clapper. Is there something in particular you dont like about his game or did you just think she sharks gave up a lot? I just couldnt believe how much you guys were hating on that trade.
I really like the Travis Ewanyk pick after the way he played against RNH in the first round. won most of the draws too. Could be a decent third é fourth line centre in a few years...
remember they got Bunz in the 5th round.

Fall 2016 Schedule of Classes (pdf)
Spring 2017 Schedules of Classes (pdf)
Course Descriptions
The Natural Science and Mathematics Division offers excellent programs of study. In these programs, faculty work with students in the classroom and individually in order to broaden the students' view of the world. The Natural Science and Mathematics curriculum allows students to study the scientific approach to learning about the natural world using the problem solving and critical thinking techniques associated with the major areas of science and mathematics, including biology, chemistry, mathematics, physics, and statistics. Since the observable world can be viewed from either the macroscopic, microscopic, or atomic viewpoints, students are encouraged to develop their concrete and abstract thinking and reasoning skills. Many graduates of Alice Lloyd College who receive a degree in science further their education by entering programs in medicine, pharmacy, engineering, dentistry, teaching/education, nursing, physical therapy, and so on. It is the desire of the science and mathematics faculty that students develop an appreciation for learning and so become life-long learners.
Students wishing to seek advanced degrees in medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, engineering, etc. are encouraged to consider the opportunities available through the Caney Cottage Scholarship Program. This competitive scholarship is available to qualifying students who are accepted into graduate or professional schools.
Also, take a look at our Science and Math Brochure (pdf), which introduces you to some of our standout students and relates their experiences at ALC.

Wilma RudolphRunner
Born: 23 June 1940
Died: 12 November 1994 (brain cancer)
Birthplace: Clarksville, Tennessee
Best known as: The first American woman to win three gold medals in one Olympics
Wilma Rudolph sprinted to three gold medals at the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome, becoming the first woman from the United States to win three golds in one Olympics. Rudolph, an African-American, won the 100 meter dash and the 200 meter dash and anchored the winning 400 meter relay team. Born to a large, poor family in Tennessee, Rudolph battled polio, scarlet fever and pneumonia as a child and for a few years lost the use of one leg. By the time she was a teenager she was 5' 11" and an outstanding basketball player. She began sprinting with a team from Tennessee State University when she was still in high school, and earned a bronze medal as a member of a relay team in the 1956 Olympics in Melbourne before earning triple gold four years later. In 1973 she was inducted into the Black Athletes Hall of Fame, and in 1974 she was named to the National Track and Field Hall of Fame. Her 1977 autobiography was titled Wilma.
Extra credit:
A 1977 TV movie about her life, Wilma, was directed by Bud Greenspan and starred actress Shirley Jo Finney as Wilma Rudolph.

You've come to expect me to share my outdoor adventure knowledge, and I am not going to change gears completely, but a girl gets hungry. (Especially if she is outdoor adventuring a whole bunch.) So this blog is dedicated to one of my other favorite things besides skiing, which is lunch.There are two options for lunch at a ski resort. The first is to brown bag it/pack your own, and the second is to forage when you get there.
To give homage to the brown bag crowd, this is definitely the most economical and quite often, the healthiest option. I was brought up on this team, though my parents used an L.L. Bean tote bag, not a brown bag to pack our family lunches. Of course, I often needed an afternoon snack of soup from Maria who ran the cafeteria. It seemed like such a luxury to have this cup of soup in the afternoon, though I am sure it was standard Campbell's chicken noodle. And that may have started my addiction to eating on-mountain despite the sometimes lackluster options.
Of course the other reason, I often opt to not brown bag it, is that it's hard to pack a lunch when you are heading to the mountain. It can be done, but with all the planning it takes to actually get to there in the first place, food is one of those things that is easier to deal with later. Most resorts have pretty typical fare — burgers, fries, pizza. I've noticed in the past five plus years, there are certainly more and better options.
One of my favorite on-mountain treats at Killington Resort in Vermont is Ana's Empanada's, conveniently located in the Needle's Eye area by the mid-station of the Skyship gondola. Made by a lovely husband and wife team (Ana is the wife if you did not guess already), the empanadas are all natural and made with local and fresh ingredients. You've never had an empanada? They are Latin American pastry or bread pockets stuffed with deliciousness, then sealed and baked or fried. The inspiration for a Hot Pocket probably came from someone who ate an empanada and thought, "We could make this into something gross and highly processed, freeze it, and sell it to lots of people who are too lazy to cook, or don't know how delicious an authentic, home-made empanada is."
My favorite empanada from Ana's is The Butternut: Butternut squash, sweet potatoes, and wild mushrooms with a touch of hot chiles (extra chimichurri salsa, please). I think that I could drink the salsa straight and be totally blissed out for days. Of course, people would start avoiding me from the intense garlic odor seeping from my every pore. If you are from the brown bag/pack your own lunch school, they've opened a location in downtown Rutland, Vermont. You could buy a batch on your way to the mountain, but you might eat them all by the time you get to the mountain. So, maybe that is not an option.
I am going to move from the savory to the sweet. I think that the best sweet to purchase at a ski resort is a Snickers bar. You will pay $2 for it, but it's the perfect afternoon snack if you've been skiing hard all day long. Snickers really does satisfy, as they say. I recommend the added expense of purchasing this tasty treat at the mountain because it is sort of gross to eat a warm, mushy Snickers bar in the afternoon. Buy it. Eat it. Don't allow for lag time.
Of course, you might not make it inside the lodge to purchase a Snickers bar if you catch a whiff of a waffle wafting through the air. I've seen these waffle shacks everywhere lately, it seems.
The Waffle Cabin at Okemo has been featured on The Travel Channel's "Extreme Fast Food" show, as the most extreme drive-through in the country, according to Okemo PR Director Bonnie MacPherson. "Sure, the Belgian style waffles are delicious, but the best part is that you can ski right up to the window and wrap a mitten around a piping hot waffle. . .and keep right on skiing. The secret ingredient that makes these waffles irresistible is special beet sugar, imported from Europe. Sugar crystal nips baked into the batter give the waffles an extra little crunch as they caramelize on the outside of the waffle."
After all that sweet, I am going to end with something savory, and also something that appeals to the brown bag crowd. I have never done this, and I probably won't try it myself, but for spud fans, here's one for the recipe box. Back in the days of true frugality, Stowe Mountain Resort's Jeff Wise, would make a baked stuffed potato, wrap it in foil and put it in his pocket until it was lunch time. "Don't laugh," Jeff told me. "It actually tastes good cold, and provides a filling energy boost."
The Hot Pocket people should consider putting mashed potatoes in a tube for eating on the go.

Fitch: Sony More Likely to Sink Than Panasonic
Tiffany Kaiser
November 24, 2012 8:40 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: bestasiatravel.asia)
Panasonic will likely survive because it focuses on more than just consumer electronics
A credit rating agency said that Panasonic would likely survive longer than Sony after downgrading both electronics companies.
Credit rating agency Fitch recently lowered Panasonic's rating down two notches to BB, but cut Sony down three notches to BB minus. Other credit rating agencies have put them at the same level.
The reason for Fitch's credit ratings? It claims Panasonic has a "relatively stable consumer appliance business," such as refrigerators and washing machines, aside from just consumer electronics. Sony, on the other hand, is mainly depending on the extremely competitive consumer electronics market.
Right now, tech giants like Apple and Samsung have a strong hold on the electronics market, such as smartphones and tablets.
Sony's troubles largely stem from its failing TV business. It has seen eight straight years of quarterly losses, and last December, Sony decided to shake up its TV division by
negotiating a buyout
of its 50 percent manufacturing stake with Samsung in the LCD joint venture. It also
split its TV division into three units
consisting of sales of LCD TVs, outsourcing manufacturing to cheaper foreign facilities and developing future TVs.
To make matters worse, Sony reported a
record annual loss of
$5.7 billion USD
in May 2012.
However, new Sony CEO Kazuo Hirai has been working to turn the company around since he took over in April 2012. In fact, he offered an entirely
new plan for restructuring the company
. A key idea behind the restructuring was to strengthen core businesses, including digital imaging, games and mobile. He also opted to take over the failing TV business, expand business in emerging markets, create new businesses and realign the business portfolio.
Just last month, Sony
closed a factory in Japan and cut 2,000 jobs
at its Tokyo headquarters.
While Hirai is trying to make Sony profitable again, Fitch said "most of their electronic business are loss making" and "appear to be overstretched."
Fitch said Panasonic, on the other hand, is focusing on areas other than consumer electronics like home appliances, lithium batteries, solar panels and automotive parts.
"If you look at the last five years, if you look at what major innovations have occurred in computing technology, every single one of them came from AMD. Not a single innovation came from Intel." -- AMD CEO Hector Ruiz in 2007
