Instruction Memorandum No. 2012-135
Expires: 09/30/2013
To: ADs, SDs and CDs
From: Assistant Director, Business and Fiscal Resources
Subject: Facility Compliance Management and Tracking of Compliance Assessment – Safety, Health and the Environment (CASHE) Findings DD: 07/31/2012
Program Area: Facility Compliance and Safety
Purpose: The purpose of this Instruction Memorandum (IM) is to request status updates from the Washington Office, State Offices, and National Centers to provide on the implementation status of recommendations and corrective actions resulting from their CASHE audits. This information will be used to identify projects for Deferred Maintenance CASHE Corrective Action funding in Fiscal Year (FY) 2014. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) will make use of this data to: measure facility compliance, evaluate risk related to facility compliance, and make decisions related to future funding, policy, and training needs.
Policy/Action: Updating Status of CASHE Recommendations/Corrective Actions
Organizational units that have had a traditional or Radio Infrastructure (RI) CASHE audit between October 1993 and March 2012 are asked to update the status of those recommendations/corrective actions on the spreadsheets that will be emailed separately by the State Office Safety Manager, Hazardous Material Program Lead, or Radio Program Lead.
Each organizational unit is to submit the completed CASHE status update spreadsheet to the CASHE contractor with a copy to their State Office Safety Manager, HAZMAT Program Lead, and Radio Program Lead. The status of recommendations/corrective actions for traditional CASHE audits completed during the period April 2012, through June 2012 will be from the reports prepared for those audits.
Please note that the instructions for completion of the FY 2011 CASHE status update clarify that, in addition to addressing the recommendations, a CASHE Corrective Action may be considered complete under one of the following conditions:
Implementation of CASHE Recommendations/Corrective Actions
Consistent with available budget resources and other programmatic concerns, organizational units are to implement CASHE recommendations/corrective actions and/or request funding for implementation within one year of their audit.
Timeframe: Please return the updated spreadsheets to the CASHE contractor by July 31, 2012.
Please note that organizational units that do not respond by July 31, 2012, will: have their corrective actions shown as incomplete; negatively affect the FY 2012 CASHE facility compliance performance measure; and be ineligible for deferred maintenance funding for CASHE Corrective Actions.
Background: In FY 2011, 93 percent of the BLM's organizational units were rated in good safety, health, and environmental condition. This performance was based on information received in response to IM No. 2011-119, which asked the Field to update the status of incomplete CASHE findings.
Criteria for Annual CASHE Performance Rating: FY 2012 is the fourth year findings from RI CASHE audits are included in the determination of whether or not an organizational unit is rated in good safety, health, and environmental condition. The BLM's National Radio Operations Branch (FA-350) and the Business Resources Division (WO-850) have been performing RI CASHE audits since the beginning of FY 2008. The criteria for determining if an organizational unit is rated in "good safety, health, and environmental condition" is defined as:
The performance goal for FY 2012 is that 94 percent of the BLM organizational units be rated in good safety, health, and environmental condition.
Budget Impact: None.
Manual/Handbook Sections Affected: None.
Coordination: The BLM Safety Office (WO-740), the Division of Business Resources (WO- 850), and the Office Fire and Aviation Policy (WO-400).
Contact: Ken Morin, Branch of Architecture and Engineering Services (OC-670), National Operations Center, at (303) 236-6418.

To Hold Contradiction in Our Hands Is What Makes Us Unique as Humans (Video)
"The less it is possible that something can be,
the more it must be."
I've been sitting on this unbelievably gripping, humorous, and intellectually stimulating lecture by Robert Sapolsky for months now. I'm not sure why. My work life whisked me away, but, in watching this video again, it's too good not to share.
Sapolsky is one of the world's leading neuroscientists who explores "the biology of neurons" and how stress factors in to our social lives. He's an incredible storyteller who makes sense of the human species by studying primates, particularly baboons. Using many examples from the wild, he debunks a series of commonly held assumptions that most people believe define human beings as being distinct, as being unique to our species: theory of mind, the Golden Rule, empathy, tit-for-tat, etc.
Despite all the universal behaviors we humans hold in common with other animals, Sapolsky says that humans have one trait that best defines and distinguishes us from other species: the ability to hold two contradictory ideas in our head, and yet continue on in the face of it.
During a staff meeting several months ago, I recommended that one of our associate producers do some research on Dr. Sapolsky as a potential interview with Krista. The feedback: Dr. Sapolsky was a good storyteller with great depth of experience, but there was concern that his atheism might be too strident and might not work for our program.
To me, it's these types of voices that we want to include in our repertoire of shows. He's a non-believer who embraces the paradox himself. He's not just against religion or worshiping a deity. He lives an intellectual life that listens to these religious and philosophical voices and internalizes them. He takes them seriously and doesn't dismiss them.
So, when I'm evaluating future guests, I'm looking for clues, for indicators that strike me as openness to ideas without personally accepting them as doctrine. So, even though Dr. Sapolsky declares himself strident in the lecture above, he makes a Niebuhrian statement like the one that heads the top of this page. And, shortly thereafter, posts a slide with a quotation from Danish philosopher and theologian Søren Kierkegaard:
"Christian faith requires that faith persists in the face of the impossible, and that humans have the capacity to simultaneously believe in two contradictory things."
And then he immediately cites the mercy-filled work of Sr. Helen Prejean, a Roman Catholic nun, and quotes her:
"The less forgivable the act, the more it must be forgiven. The less loveble the person is, the more you must find the means to love them."
What's even more delightful is Sapolsky's own ability and intellectual curiosity to live comfortably and reconcile his own positions and beliefs. He marvels:
"As a strident atheist, this strikes me as the most irrational, magnificent thing we are capable of as a species. … And this one does not come easily. On a certain level, the harder this is, this contradiction, to take the impossibility of something and to be the very proof that it must be possible and must become a moral imperative, the harder it is to do that, the more important it is."

Shoreline Community College President Lee Lambert has been named one of the top five community college leaders in the country.
Lambert was notified by the Association of Community College Trustees on August 3 that he was selected as the recipient for the 2009 Pacific Regional Chief Executive Officer Award for his regional, national and international efforts.
Lambert, who has led Shoreline Community College as president since 2006, has garnered national and international attention for his work on behalf of community colleges. In April 2009, Lambert testified before the U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions about the education and training that colleges provide for the emerging green-jobs market. Additionally, he is a founding partner of the Seattle Climate Partnership. Last year, Lambert was selected as a member of the first national Education Council to focus on expanding and enhancing America's manufacturing workforce. In 2006, Lambert was a member of Gov. Chris Gregoire's Korea/Taiwan Trade Mission. Lambert has also been named one of the top five contributors to the Asian communities of Puget Sound.
At Shoreline, Lambert fostered programs such as the Clean Energy Technology Program, which resulted in Shoreline producing the first certified green-jobs graduates in the state and the General Service Technician Program, which earned a Governor's Award in Best Practice.
"Lee Lambert is the kind of chief executive officer dreamed of by every community college trustee," Board of Trustees Chair Shoubee Liaw said in Lambert's nomination. "He is a leader with a vision and he has been able to translate his vision and passion into effective leadership on behalf of the Board of Trustees, for Shoreline Community College and for the state community college system."
Lambert will travel with Liaw and her fellow trustee, Jerry Smith, to accept the award at the ACCT Annual Community College Leadership Congress in San Francisco in October. As a regional award winner, Lambert will be eligible for the prestigious Marie Y. Martin CEO Award, representing the top community college administrator in the U.S., which will also be announced at the event.

Sports Candy
Item #: 7814
Big League Chew Grape - 12 / Box$19.30
Sports and recreation go so nicely with candy, and that's why we have dozens of different kinds of sports candy. They're all either connected to sports traditions or packaged with sports themes.
What do you associate with baseball? We bet that Cracker Jack, Big League Chew, and sunflower seeds top your list. All of these are available in our sports candy list below. We've even thrown in Baby Ruth candy bars for good measure even though the Baby Ruth was supposedly named after the candy maker's daughter and not the famous big hitter.
We also have baseball and basketball themed lollipops, baseballs, footballs, soccer balls, tennis balls, and basketballs made from chocolate, All Star Sports Kabobs (a gummi candy favorite), and sports cookie tins. We have Chocolate Gold Medals with which you can reward your little team players, too. Don't worry -- they'll be eaten up before they can melt.
Our other sports candy is for eating during sports activities, like Jelly Belly Sport Beans, Quench Gum, sunflower seeds, and Wild Bills Original Jerkey Chew. Now doesn't that make you want to play ball?

True to size
"After reading the reviews that these boots are tight at first, and because my feet are wide, I ordered size 8, when my regular size is 7.5. They are fine width wise, but too long in length. I guess they are true to size. I am not sure whether to put insoles in them or to return them. Insoles that are in the boots are not very soft, and do not offer much support. I recommend ordering your regular size even if your feet are wide, because suede will stretch."

The Kingsford® $40K Challenge
The $40k Insider
QUAU Comes Up Big in Georgia
Nov 07, 2011
The quiet north Georgia town of Canton was host to the Cherokee Pignic where the barbecue team QUAU was looking to lock down more Kingsford glory. QUAU, the defending Kingsford Points Chase Champions, left Canton with another Kingsford win and with one event left, QUAU has their eye squarely on going back-to-back in the Kingsford Points Chase Championship.
Mike and Beth Wozniak form the team called QUAU. The Wozniak's take pride in always working to make themselves better at their craft.
"We're always making changes," says Wozniak of the QUAU strategy. "We're always trying to make our barbecue better. You have to in this business. Everyone is getting better!"
Wozniak believes that hard work is always a little less difficult when the setting is beautiful around you. The beautiful north Georgia backdrop for the Cherokee Pignic is a big draw for QUAU.
"Its such a nice location at the Pignic," said Wozniak. "It's in a beautiful country spot that's backed up to the woods with a river right behind it. And down south they take care of the cooks. They had a dinner for all the cooks as well as two breakfasts!"
While the scenery may have been beautiful, everything wasn't all sunshine and roses for QUAU. A team that is daring enough to make changes along the way knows to be prepared for any and all possible surprises.
"We were trying a couple new things," describes Wozniak. "With our chicken we were trying a new technique to make it more tender. In the end though, it turned out to be tougher. Plus we also cooked a whole Berkshire shoulder and it didn't end up pulling like I wanted it to."
That being said, the Wozniaks were still able to pull out the Kingsford win with strong performances on the other side of the score sheet.
"We had really good pork," explains Wozniak. "That, plus a really good brisket, carried us through to a decent finish."
With the Cherokee Pignic win in hand, QUAU will now look ahead to a strong finish at the Jack Daniel's Invitational in hopes of repeating as the Kingsford Points Chase Champions for 2012.

Baskett, Eagles draw Wildcat fans
April 19, 2008
CNJ staff photo: Liliana Castillo Hank Baskett III started off Jocks at the Rock with a hug for Jaden Isler. The event brought Philadelphia Eagles and Clovis alumni onto the basketball court at The Rock to raise money for Oasis Children's Advocacy Center.
Hank Baskett couldn't bring Clovis to Philadelphia, so he did his best Saturday to bring Philadelphia to Clovis.
Joined by his Philadelphia Eagles teammates, Baskett entertained a packed Rock Staubus Gymnasium Saturday night in a less-than-serious basketball contest against Clovis High School Alumni.
Before the tip-off, the third-year receiver knew Clovis had supported him by the fans who circled Rock Staubus 90 minutes before the game.
"Look outside," Baskett said. "When you see people around the gym, that shows how Clovis is supporting this game."
Players like Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb drew big cheers, but the loudest cheers and ovations came for Baskett, and Jaden Isler, the Clovis High senior who survived sudden cardiac death at a March 27 softball game in Canyon, Texas.
Other alumni were happy to get another chance to play with Baskett. Tory Roberts, a Lubbock insurance agent and 2003 CHS grad, expressed pride that Baskett reached the NFL, but noted Baskett and his teammates are just normal people with high-profile jobs.
"They're people," said Roberts, whose brother Thomas was also in the lineup. "They like to goof off and have fun."
He knew it would be tough to compete against NFL athletes.
"We're not going to try to take out legs or anything," he said with a laugh, but we're going to try hard."
The back gym was decked out with tables and NFL merchandise, mostly from the Eagles, available via silent auction. The items had minimum bids ranging from $20 for candy baskets to $250 for game-worn cleats and autographed jerseys.
Proceeds from the event went to the Oasis Children's Advocacy Center and Clovis High School.
Hank Baskett Jr., the receiver's father and Oasis executive director, was glad his son and his teammates could help take Oasis' charity events to another level.
"I'm a believer if Oasis is meant to be here and do well, God will provide," the elder Baskett said. "We're fortunate to have someone like Hank who's unselfish of his time and his money. It's unselfish of these players too."
Baskett credited Jamie Malloy and others for legwork, getting donations for the game and for the Tee'd Off About Child Abuse Golf tournament, which continues today at Chapparal Country Club.


text: Joachim Garraud has definitely made his presence known in the US this year, with festival appearances at Ultra, EDC, and Spring Awakening. Along with these performances came his Space Invader takeover — complete with alien masks, wild live visuals, and, of course, the keytar. Joachim's US invasion continues this summer as his next single, "I'm Invaded," will see its digital release on Monday on Believe. The French producer will also be moving to LA this weekend, so I'm sure we'll all be seeing a bit more of the Space Invader in coming months. Check out the hilarious new music video first here.

These posters are so cool — it's a great thing when fans can match the original show's look and tone to a T. The "Firefly Les Femmes" poster set by designer Megan Lara showcase Serenity's female crew members and stowaways in all their sexy, sweet, and deadly allure. The Saffron poster is the only one that you can't order online; it's being sold exclusively at San Diego Comic-Con. That's a damn shame, because it's my absolute favorite from the set. Still, it's a good deal to have the other ladies gracing your walls for a mere $30 each. (Inara wants you to know that she feels no shame selling herself as a wall hanging, despite what Mal would say otherwise.)

Spoiler!Wait WHAT? what are those 3 doing here? aren't they dea.... oh wait.... right..... okay, then that makes sense.
So So
Spoiler!Wait WHAT? what are those 3 doing here? aren't they dea.... oh wait.... right..... okay, then that makes sense.
Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
Lol Bleach making abit of sense for once. N this super jutsu thingy that retores bankai...kinda defeats the purpose of spending a whole chapter explaining how a bankai is forever changed...n there is a limit to how much 'suspense' u can keep regarding our certain mystery person...I think it is painfully obvious to most readers by now who it is, there isn't much point in dragging it on anymore.
Uncle? who is uncle that kuukaku is referring too? is it isshin? coz he would be sad if ichigo was sent away........ plus the mystery guy who killed opie is definitely grimmjow... the lower torso and outfit... plus his interaction with ichigo is obvious.. what is urahara's contract with him anyways?
The fullbringers are back? they were dragged by kuukaku out of rokungai after they died apparently...... when humans do die i am now convince that they definitely go to SS whether they are good or bad...... only those who become hollows who have done evil things in their past lives are sent to hell and not humans....... that explains why there are too many bad elements in the outskirts of rokungai especially the farthest district as described before.... because humans are send to SS in general doesn't matter if their good or bad
One things strange though? what is the kings key that aizen was aiming to forge? Was it a dud planted on the ancient shinigami archives to mislead the threat to attempt to go to the royal realm? or something else... i'm confuse on this last part.... we should have an explanation on this from the royal guard or aizen himself
For those who are eagerly waiting for their favorite dead characters to come back(because of the apparent return of the 3 dead FB's), like the arrancars.... it all depends on how kubo explains things
1.) We know that all humans who dies are sent to soul society in general no difference if they are good or bad = rokungai are filled with bad entities especially the outer district
2.) Hollows that have done evil deeds in their past lives are only the ones that are clearly explained that are bound to hell
3.) When a shinigami dies they will become a spirit particle and becomes part of SS... so no more gin, yamamoto and others who have died
4.)Now the big question is....(disregarding the movies/fillers) what will happen to an arrancar, menos if they died? these guys are not just hollows... they are a conglomeration of different hollows one being dominant.... what'll happen? would they break into separate souls and be sent to SS or hell, or would be sent as a whole basing the judgement on the dominant soul? kubo did not or at least not yet convey on this part.... this will decide the whether your favorite arrancars could come back or not

I have always hated how EVERYONE seems to be fukkin omniscient whereas Ichigo actively chooses to remain perpetually retarded. It seems everyone knows more about Ichigo than Ichigo does. Kuukaku could be his aunt for all we know but that's not the point. Kubo's piss poor attempts at "foreshadowing" are cringe-worthy.
For instance, this: http://www.mangapanda.com/bleach/514/11
...is a brazen repeat of this: http://www.mangapanda.com/94-49233-6...apter-397.html
After that little pow-wow Isshin was almost literally about to spill EVERYTHING, but what does Ichigo say? "No thanks, YOU'RE not ready." And then the little retard goes screamin "WTF ARE YOU SAYING?!!" at Bach even though it's his own damn fault he doesn't know shit.
Seriously. Ukitake, Urahara, Isshin, Ginjo, Bach, they all know tons of shit. And then there's Aizen.
Aizen knows what's happenin'. Aizen knows everything. Ichigo's entire life was his pet project. "All according to motherf**kin plan". Aizen's also seen the Soul King, which apparently is someTHING, rather than someONE, if I read his exchange with Urahara right. I wouldn't be surprised if the Soul King turned out to be the Black Ball from Gantz which dishes out cryptic messages like a magic8 ball.
And I have doubts that the Zero Division is really all that. Better than the entire Gotei 13 combined? Which Gotei 13? The Gotei 13 of 100 years ago? The Gotei 13 with Aizen, Gin, and Tosen in the roster? Aizen wooped pretty much everyone on his own, so unless everyone in the Zero Division is as strong or stronger than Aizen or Ichigo FGT, I call bullshit.
Also, what's all this "reforging" nonsense. They have Inoue, the Ctrl+Z of the manga world. Just have her undo the damage and.... well that's that. Wait, what? She doesn't have enough reiatsu? Bullshit! She can resurrect the dead. She could've restored Yamamoto's arm, which definitely had more reiatsu packed inside than Ichigo does in his entire body let alone his sword. Heck she probably could've brought Yamamoto back to life too if there was still any part of him left.
Oh well, reforging it is. Deedeedee.
The one bright spot in all this is that Grimmjow's back. Although, he never really left to begin with, seeing as how he was still alive when Ichigo started fighting Nnoitora...

If indeed isshin is the uncle of kukaku shiba then than makes isshin a shiba. He stated before that he would reveal why ichigo resembles kaien. If this is true then that explains it.
FB's are in SS after their apparent death, i wonder what their role is in this upcoming full scale war. Plus i imagine the hollow would have a big role since its almost 100% that the mystery person is grimmjow. To add to it urahara made a deal with him
I like the design of the Royal Palace.
There's no mistaking it, the guy is grimmjow(the lowert torso, the hand grip and the.... KURASAKI!!) Damn was expecting someone worth wild...and I do also wonder what happens to arrancars when they die, that one fan story that kubo mentioned was cannon had espada 7 and8? Go to hell after their death.... So darn... I wanted ulquiorra back but in shinigami form. Kubo still didn't give an intro on the black guy in the zero squad.
I believe gotei 13 with Aizen, Gin, and Tousen ...no fuck Tousen.... Yet alone aizen but with Gin' shikai/bankai, I'd say the gotei was stronger back then then it is now... And shunsui is referring to the gotei now...so each zero squad member >>>/== aizen IMO.
This chapter had one purpose ... filler it wasted a lot of time and explained nothing.
- Urahara called to say nothing relevant
- Why the pillar can only be launched from whats her names place is unknown?
- She said something about Uncle was she referring to the previous VC of 13th squad or someone else?
- I thought the spirit king lived in different dimension not in the sky.....
Well whatever lets see whats in the palace....next week
Fire type
What chakra type are you?
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
Also, when did Tsukishima die or is he even dead? Maybe he was simply bought to SS. Last we saw of him he was piggy back riding through the woods on the back of Shishigawara.
Oh & good call on The Spirit King possibly being that Magic 8 Ball. At the rate Kubo is going, I wouldn't be surprised.
The posts in this thread so far have been FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC!!! At least when Oda does Manga filler it's designed to character build his crew.
Tsuki definitely died. Hole in the chest and all. It was a lot clearer in the anime. Still, there had to have been a better way to fill this chapter in order to have the cliffhanger of arriving at the palace.

Daylight saving time will survive. There were strong opinions for and against. In the end, a driving consideration was the negative impact on the business world that interacts on a national scale. If we were to change, we would be out of step with almost everyone except Arizona. It is problematic in the world of commerce.
After considerable debate, the house rejected a bill that would have required the severance tax on oil and gas to be deposited in a trust fund whose principle could not be invaded without a three-fourths vote of both houses. I think most legislatures are supportive of a trust fund being established for future generations. At present, there is some legitimate concern that until the economy stabilizes and our rainy-day funds are restored, we need to be conservative in over committing the modest increase in revenue, which we hope this year will bring.
The judiciary committee, which I chair, sent to the house floor a bill that would allow a sex-offender who no longer poses any threat to apply to the court to remove his name from a registry that is designed to warn the public. The sponsor told of a young couple in Cache Valley that became involved when he was 19 and she was underage. He was charged and ended up on the registry. They subsequently married and now have multiple children. Because his name is on the registry, he can't be alone with his own children. It is the kind of circumstance that breeds hopelessness and is not helpful to anyone. I think the legislature will approve an approach that allows a way back for persons in this circumstance, without compromising public safety.
I also serve on the public education committee and the higher education appropriation committee. Both are important to citizens in Emery, Sanpete, and Sevier counties. I have spent a fair amount of time the last few weeks in an effort to enhance funding for the necessary existing small schools in rural Utah.
Last week we were successful in achieving distribution of 1.2 million dollars to these schools. It is vitally needed and will be greatly appreciated. My ongoing effort seeks an expanded appropriation for next year. The end objective is to come closer to the legal requirement of "reasonably equal educational opportunities regardless of the place of residence." While this is of special significance to those of us who live in rural Utah, the goal should be universally shared.
I sense an increasing awareness that we will have to aggressively address predator control if we are to save our diminishing mule deer heard. Senator Hinkins is sponsoring a measure to increase the big game license fee by $5 with funds directed toward predator control. No one is thrilled with the increase, but it may come down to a choice of being able to hunt for $35, or hunt with a chance of success, at $40. If we can get a handle on the problem, the investment will be well spent. If we can't, life in rural Utah will be forever changed.

Apple and Samsung CEOs to meet on May 21st for settlement talksMonday, April 30th, 2012
Apple and Samsung's CEOs are scheduled to meet on May 21st to discuss a possible settlement to the widely-publicized on-going legal battle, FOSS Patents reported. The two companies have been in a bitter patent war since last April that includes more than 20 cases in 10 countries. Despite the scheduled settlement talks, however, the Korean manufacturer asserted eight additional patents against the Cupertino-based company last week. Apple CEO Tim Cook told analysts during the company's earnings call that he would rather settle lawsuits than fight them in court. "I've always hated litigation, and I continue to hate it. We just want people to invent their own stuff," the CEO said. "I would highly prefer to settle versus battle. But the key thing is that it's very important that Apple not become the developer for the world." If the two companies cannot come to an agreement, a trial is scheduled for July in the United States.

It's a Bird, It's a Plane, It's Jus Cogens!
Anthony D'Amato
Northwestern University - Pritzker School of Law
Connecticut Journal of International Law, Vol. 6, No. 1, pp. 1-6, 1990
Northwestern Public Law Research Paper 10-30
What we require - like the third bowl of soup in the story of the three bears - is a theory of jus cogens that is Just Right. I do not know if such a theory is possible. I don't even know if one is conceivable. But if someone conceives it, that person deserves the very next International Oscar. To qualify for the award, the theory must answer the following questions: (l) What is the utility of a norm of jus cogens (apart from its rhetorical value as a sort of exclamation point)? (2) How does a purported norm of jus cogens arise? (3) Once one arises, how can international law change it or get rid of it?

In a public meeting on Monday evening on the College of Eastern Utah campus, a panel of board of regent's members revealed that they would recommend to the entire board of regents during a regularly scheduled meeting at Utah Valley University that CEU become a "comprehensive regional campus of Utah State University.'
The recommendation has come after almost two years of partials studies by panels, a study by an ex-president of CEU, debate in the state legislature over the fate of the college and numerous meetings of faculty, staff, administration and the community in the eastern Utah area.
The recommendation will be forwarded to the regents who are expected to adopt it. When that happens then the board will recommend that the legislature put the proper legislation in place to make it so in the next session which begins next January.
"We have developed a time line for this recommendation too," said David Jordan, the regent who headed up the panel and did the powerpoint presentation for the audience. "We hope to have the two institutions deal with the thousands of details that must be worked out between the two schools from August to December of this year. Then there will be legislative action on the plan during the session and we hope the implementation will begin on July 1, 2010."
Jordan pointed out that the plan was a broad vision and that the devil would certainly be in the details, but he hoped the two schools could find common ground on the issues that need to be resolved.
"If we can get an agreement that works for everyone that is the best way to do it," he said. "That is a lot better than giving it to the legislature and saying to them 'here you figure this out.'"
Jordan said he hoped that there would be a great deal of input along the way to work out the plan including hearing from faculty, staff, students, community members and legislators.
Both State Senator David Hinkins from Emery County and Representative Patrick Painter from Nephi (who represents part of Carbon County) were at the meeting, along with two of the Carbon County commissioners and some other local dignitaries.
The panel presented a large amount of information including facts and figures as well as the options they had been charged with looking at to resolve what the state sees as a problem of decline at the CEU main campus. They also presented a general idea of what they are recommending as broad points of working plan for the implementation.
Utah State will be charged with responsibility for the governance, personnel, finances and facilities management of CEU through statutory amendments and regents policy changes.
CEU will be led by a Chancellor who will be the resident chief executive officer of the USU/CEU and will report directly to the president of USU.
Lower community college tuition rates for lower division and career and technical education programs will be maintained.
A diverse range of student activities, cultural, social and athletic programs will be supported.
CEU will be overseen by the USU Board of Trustees. The current CEU Board of Trustees will transition to a regional advisory council.
The governor will be encouraged to appoint a southeastern resident to be a member of the USU Board of Trustees and, if necessary, the size of the current USU Board will be increased to facilitate that representation.
After the presentation the panel left the floor open for comments as well as supports and criticisms, of which there were many.
Painter asked a number of questions including what might happen with positions that could be eliminated from the present CEU campus by handing over their duties to USU employees. Jordan responded that there could be some of that, but that it would probably be a gradual phase out.
"However, that would be part of the way to straighten out the financial problems of CEU," he said.
Painter also asked if some of USU's budget would be headed toward CEU.
"We anticipate that some of that will happen, but not directly," said Jordan. "It would, however, come more in the way of cost shifting than direct dollars. For instance USU doesn't have a criminal justice program and that would be valuable to them on their campuses. With long distance learning technologies CEU may have more students than are just sitting in a classroom here on this campus."
Mixed feelings came from various people in the audience. Some applauded the recommendation, others were suspicious of it and still others believe the college could stand on its own legs without becoming part of USU.
"I am a biology professor here at CEU and originally a farm kid from Loa," said Tyson Chappell. "I was thankful all those years ago that I was able to take long distance learning classes from USU. I think what we need to do here is to do what is best for the students and I think this would be beneficial to them. I would feel that way even if I was one of those whose job was eliminated by this move."
However Jordan Hatch, heavy equipment an trucking instructor at CEU felt differently.
"I think we are operating on the false premise that this school is broken," he said. "We are presently operating on the budget we were given and are doing just fine. We had to cut but I would rather have the people who work here swinging the ax rather than having someone at Utah State do it. I am sure our faculty would be willing to do what it takes to keep this school going. The problem is that you (directing his comments to the regents panel) are looking at this from the outside. We are on the inside looking out."
Ross Sacco, long time faculty member at CEU took a more middle ground, but a cautious one.
"Part of the problem here is that we all realized a long time ago that we were a part of the Wasatch behind and not the Wasatch Front," he said as the gathering erupted with laughter. "We are holding back because of our past experiences in dealing with things from upstate. I think if the legislature could have your vision as to what could happen it would be fine. But in a way I feel we might be used by USU. They may use their tie to us (energy related programs) to get money and the we might not any of that money here."
The panel listened to everyone's comments and answered questions but in the end it came down to a statement that commissioner of higher education, Bill Sederburg made almost at the end of the meeting. After panel members had explained that they came to the recommendation because of the changing world of education and how CEU needs to fit into Sederburg reinforced it with what he said is the reality of education today.
"Some schools have found niches they can fill, like the University of Phoenix," he said. "They are successful and growing. The truth is that small schools like CEU need a senior partner to complete in the marketplace for students."
The plan the task force has come up with will be presented to the entire board of regents Friday at UVU between 1 and 3 p.m. in the afternoon.
Legislators have said they would like to hear from constituents about this issue so they can make a balanced decision on how to vote on it if it comes before the legislature next session. They can be contacted through email. Patrick Painter contact is email@example.com. David Hinkins email is email@example.com. Christine Watkins email is email@example.com.

Mr. Speaker, it is a critical issue. I travelled this country a number of years ago pushing for a seniors charter of rights, which actually passed in this House of Commons and which the government has yet to implement.
I would argue that one of the simple things we could do is deal with pensions. Seniors' pensions are a critical issue for so many people. If people enter into a private arrangement with their employer and it is a deferred wage, they earn that wage for the future so as not to rely as much on the public. However, If the company is going bankrupt, why would they be last in line as a creditor? It is unacceptable and unconscionable. That is one of the things the Conservatives could have done. It would not have cost any money and would have been a fair thing to do. It also would save the public purse later on as the senior would have a functioning pension.

Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives have more money allocated in the future for prisons and planes than they do for seniors. It is as simple as that.

Mr. Speaker, we are told that the budget measures in Bill C-13 will make life better for families.
I would like to know what my hon. colleague thinks of the cuts affecting children that have been made by the Conservative government over the past few weeks. Social services and community organizations are sounding the alarm because the government is taking child tax benefits away from the most vulnerable families. To verify whether these measures are justified, they are being asked to fill out a six-page questionnaire. Then it takes time to assess the questionnaire, while families are being deprived of money to pay the rent. This is cruel. What should we be doing instead to help them?

Brian Masse Windsor West, ON
Mr. Speaker, that is a very pertinent question. That is why I was referring to the surpluses that the government sometimes gets and the slippages where it was often referred in terms of departmental money that is never spent. The government creates so many obstacles and so much difficulty that it requires so much assistance, or it does not even bother doing it itself.
We have seen that with the disability tax credit, for example, or the GIS where people need to apply for it instead of just getting it. These are things that the government could have changed that would have actually helped Canadians, especially those on the fringe.

Mr. Speaker, the member spoke about the tax cuts and that they are not helping industry in his riding. I have heard directly from the head of automotive manufacturers in this country about the need to continue along with the tax cut process that we put in place.
Is the member saying that those people, those who create seven to eight jobs for every job they have in their plant, are wrong about our tax cuts?

Mr. Speaker, it gives me great pleasure to rise in the House at this time to speak in support of Bill C-13, Keeping Canada's Economy and Jobs Growing Act.
Canada has weathered the global recession better than most other industrialized countries. We are the only G7 country to have more than recovered all of the output and all of the jobs lost during the recession. In fact, Canada has posted by far the strongest growth in employment among G7 countries during the recovery. This is in no small measure due to the stellar and diligent work of our Minister of Finance and the extraordinary measures in Canada's economic action plan, which is a road map to improve the well-being of all Canadians over the long run by securing the recovery, eliminating the deficit, and investing in the drivers of long-term economic growth.
The Prime Minister, the Minister of Finance and this government have made protecting Canadian jobs and the economy the top priority. In fact, 600,000 more Canadians are working today than when the recession ended, and nine out of ten of those jobs are full-time positions.
Our government's plan is to strengthen and secure Canada's economic and financial fundamentals. That is why the government has responded to critical situations with flexibility and pragmatism. Its response is designed to keep our economy secure and resilient.
The government, unlike the official opposition, is not bound by ideological dogma, and unlike the third party, by political expediency and opportunism. That is why Canada is held up as a shining example of stability and prudence in an ocean of instability. Doug Porter, deputy chief economist at BMO, said during his appearance at the finance committee in August:
I would say that compared to policy-making in the rest of the world, Canada's economic policy-making has been exemplary. I don't think there's been a significant misstep in recent years.
That is why the global leadership that Canada has displayed since day one of the economic crisis has earned Canada the praise of a number of the world's respected organizations and institutions.
For instance, Canada's banking system has been deemed the world's best for four years running now by the World Economic Forum. The World Bank also said that Canada is the easiest place to start a business in the G7. Forbes magazine recently ranked Canada as the best country to do business in. The international credit rating agencies, such as Moody's, Fitch and Standard and Poor's, have all renewed Canada's AAA credit rating. The G20 young entrepreneur summit recently said that Canada is a start-up paradise, an entrepreneurial hotbed of business confidence. The IMF has also praised Canada's deficit reduction plan and has said that Canada is one of two countries that will have the fastest economic growth in the G7 this year and next.
It does not stop there. There is more. The Economic Intelligence Unit says Canada is the best country among the G7 to do business in and will continue to be over the next five years.
The finance committee, of which I am a member, recently concluded its pre-budget consultations. We met with dozens of individuals, associations, businesses, and organizations, both here in Ottawa and around the country. We also received over 600 written submissions.
The overwhelming consensus from our hearings was support for our government's plan. For instance, the Canadian Home Builders' Association stated that:
Today's budget provides a responsible transition from stimulus spending towards creating the conditions that will renew private sector demand and job creation.
Regarding the budget, the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants stated that:
...it strikes the right balance by keeping Canada competitive and demonstrating prudent fiscal management.
All these results do not just fall from the sky. As the Minister of Finance recently stated:
Countries, just like individuals, do not stumble into prosperity. They set out a plan and stick to it, so that they are fully capable of seizing opportunity when misfortune hits, instead of merely being overwhelmed by it.
The government has followed a low-tax plan that has successfully branded Canada as a low-business-tax jurisdiction. Our government paid down substantial amounts of debt before the economic crisis even arrived. By doing so, our government has been successful in keeping net debt to GDP ratio well below G7 counterparts at 34%, while at the same time other countries were piling vast amounts of additional debt onto existing debt.
Under the leadership of our Prime Minister and the Minister of Finance, Canada chose not to go down the road of ruin by recklessly taxing and spending, the path the opposition would have us take. Our government chose rather to support Canadian families by creating jobs, and the average family has over $3,000 in tax reductions.
Our government's top priority is the economy. Although Canada's economy is outperforming other advanced industrialized countries, Canada is not immune from the impact of events that originate beyond our shores. The Prime Minister and the Minister of Finance have always been very clear about this fact.
Therefore, with the global economy still fragile due to the European sovereign debt and banking crisis, the Minister of Finance announced last week that the government will be reducing the maximum potential increase in next year's EI premium from 10¢ to 5¢ per $100 of insurable earnings. This measure will leave over $600 million in the hands of Canadian businesses and workers and their families.
In response to this measure, Dan Kelly, senior vice-president of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, said:
It is clear Finance Minister Flaherty has heard the concerns of Canada's entrepreneurs by taking action to lower the planned EI hike.
The CFIB press release also stated:
This move will reduce the burden of business and leave more money in the pockets of their employees.
To continue to support jobs and growth, the Minister of Finance also announced an additional extension of the successful work-sharing program, which has already benefited some 300,000 workers.
Other measures designed to create jobs and growth included rebuilding the fleets of the Royal Canadian Navy and Canadian Coast Guard, which will create long-term jobs and generate significant economic benefits in shipbuilding and related industries across Canada.
Also announced was the investment of additional funds to modernize and expand the capacity of priority border facilities across Canada.
The Minister of Finance also announced that our government is on track to eliminate the deficit in a balanced and responsible way. We will balance in 2015. This is due to the ongoing financial crisis in Europe and the uncertainty in the United States.
The Minister of Finance once again demonstrated that our government's top priority is the economy. We will do this through our low-tax plan to create jobs and growth in a way that is both flexible and pragmatic.
In support of this move, the Honourable Perrin Beatty, president and CEO of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, said:
While we understand that the slower economic growth will delay Canada's ability to return to balanced budgets, we agree with the Minister that the government should not be adding to the deficit by increasing spending at this time.
Budget 2011 will preserve Canada's advantage in the global economy. It will strengthen the financial security of Canadian workers. It will give more income security to seniors and families and will provide stability during a fragile and uncertain global recovery.

Cyber Cop Program
Statements by Members
2 p.m.
Scott Armstrong Cumberland—Colchester—Musquodoboit Valley, NS
Mr. Speaker, Canadian children are facing a new challenge. The issue of cyber bullying has increased the intensity and frequency of abuse children can face on a daily basis. This means that parents, teachers, lawmakers, and all adults have a duty to step up and put things in place to protect our children.
In my riding, the Truro Police Service has done just that by initiating the Cyber Cop program. Cyber Cop is an innovative program that provides children with the tools they need to combat cyber bullying and practice safe Internet usage.
Coordinator Barry Mingo, Constable Jon Keddy, Constable Todd Taylor and Chief Dave MacNeil all deserve an incredible amount of credit for initiating this program.
Kudos also to mayor Bill Mills and the Truro town council for standing behind the Truro police service, supporting the cyber cop program and stepping up to protect our children.
Navy League of Canada
Statements by Members
2 p.m.
Peter Stoffer Sackville—Eastern Shore, NS
Mr. Speaker, it is a great day in Canada today, because the Navy League of Canada is in Ottawa to talk about various issues affecting the Navy League throughout the country.
This organization, one of the finest organizations in the country, has been around for 116 years. It is in over 260 Canadian communities helping out 15,000 young Canadians on issues of maritime affairs, the Royal Canadian Sea Cadets and the Navy League Cadets.
The Navy League of Canada is incorporated with many ex-military personnel from admirals all the way down to chief petty officers. It is truly a wonderful organization. I encourage every member here today to attend the reception, because the Navy League of Canada is one of the finest organizations this country has ever seen.
Alex Thomson Royal Canadian Legion Branch
Statements by Members
November 15th, 2011 / 2 p.m.
Stella Ambler Mississauga South, ON
Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to tell the House about the Alex Thomson Royal Canadian Legion Branch 82, which has been part of the landscape of Mississauga South in Port Credit for more than 80 years, the past 40 on the banks of the scenic Credit River.
The branch is dedicated to the memory of Colonel Alex Thomson, a former Port Credit resident, who was decorated for bravery and killed in action in France during World War I.
Branch 82 is still a wonderful place to meet old friends and new ones, and that is what hundreds of veterans and members of the community of Mississauga South did on Remembrance Day last Friday.
As a new member of the legion, I meet new comrades each time I go. On Friday, it was Phil and George from the Queen's Own Rifles; parade marshal Norm; RCMP officer Ben, who laid the wreath with me and taught me how to march in parade; feisty World War II veteran Vic Morrow, and many others.
I owe special thanks to legion president Kim Reinhart, the ladies' auxiliary--whose shepherd's pie was a huge hit--and the entire team that helped make Branch 82's Remembrance Day ceremonies such a fitting tribute to our local heroes.
Lest we forget.
Airline Industry
Statements by Members
2 p.m.
Gerry Byrne Humber—St. Barbe—Baie Verte, NL
Mr. Speaker, with the unanimous passage by the House of Commons of my motion concerning airline passenger rights, every Canadian expected the government to enhance protection for the millions of paying customers who travel on airlines each and every year in this country.
The entire Conservative cabinet stood along with every government backbencher to vote for a Canadian airline passenger bill of rights, but before they had time to sit back down in their seats, the Conservatives had already changed their minds on the whole affair. No legislation was ever produced.
Since that time, the European Union has enacted strong legislation to protect airline passengers. In the United States, just weeks ago, the U.S. Congress ratified into law tough new regulations that protect airline passengers from extended waits while on board an aircraft, ensure mandatory compensation for passengers who are bumped due to overbooking and set out compensation for baggage delays and losses.
When will the government enact proper airline passenger protection legislation?
Human Rights
Statements by Members
2 p.m.
Russ Hiebert South Surrey—White Rock—Cloverdale, BC
Mr. Speaker, unfortunately there are still many places where people do not enjoy the freedoms that Canadians have.
Lately violence has flared in Egypt at the expense of the Coptic minority, who have been attacked and killed in their places of worship. Our Subcommittee on International Human Rights has just heard testimony about this situation.
Clearly, more has to be done to protect minority rights.
First the extremists who plan and carry out these violent attacks need to be brought to justice, and the government of Egypt must act to physically protect minorities as they go about their daily lives.
As Egypt heads into elections, the transitional government must ensure that these elections are both free and fair, a process that would include inviting international observers to monitor the vote.
When the new Egyptian parliament convenes, the new constitution it writes must ensure that the religious freedoms of all Egyptians are fully protected in law.
Quebec Student Football Championship
Statements by Members
2:05 p.m.
Anne-Marie Day Charlesbourg—Haute-Saint-Charles, QC
Mr. Speaker, on November 12, 2011, I had the pleasure of attending the 36th annual Bol d'or, a major high school and college football event that was held in Charlesbourg—Haute-Saint-Charles for the very first time.
First of all, congratulations to the winners of the championship: the Collège Notre-Dame Cactus, the Collège François-Xavier Garneau Élans, the Campus Notre-Dame-de-Foy Notre-Dames—winning the first Bol d'or in the school's history—and the Collège André-Grasset Phénix. You are all true champions and should be proud of your achievements.
This major football event was organized by the Cégep Limoilou, the Collège Saint-Jean-Eudes and the Réseau du sport étudiant du Québec.
I would like to sincerely thank the event organizers and volunteers and all the young athletes who helped make this day a true success, to the delight of football fans across the Quebec City region.

Video: Obama outrageously outraged by AIG outrage; Update: Treasury to reduce AIG's bailout funds?
posted at 3:20 pm on March 16, 2009 by Allahpundit
In which The One attempts to douse a populist brushfire with a little heat of his own. Two issues here: Can the feds legally force AIG to break their contracts with their traders and deny the bonuses, and if so, should they? Ambinder advises ignoring the first question and focusing on the second. How likely is it, he wonders, that AIG's traders would sue to recover them given the Madoff-ian public opporobrium they'd receive for doing so? Pretty likely, counters Tom Maguire, who agrees that the second question is the more important — and likely to cause further headaches if the bonuses are denied:
First of all, as I wasted my breath explaining, AIG [Financial Products division] is active in many businesses, not all of which are focused on credfit derivatives. Secondly, Joe Cassano, who led the unit until he was pushed out in March 2008, had enemies inside and ouside AIG FP, some of whom may have agreed to emerge from internal exile and attempt to clean up after him. Thirdly, insurance companies which don't honor their contracts don't last long; it is possible that failure to honor this obligation would represent the sort of default whch would ordinarily trigger a bankruptcy or reorganization, which so far the Feds have labored mightily to avoid. Fourth, if the new concept of selective default is that AIG won't pay people or firms the public doesn't like, how confident will, for example, Goldman Sachs be that AIG will honor its obligations to them? (Ok, why are we honoring the AIG obligations to Goldman – surely the Goldman execs could take it out of their bonus pool, yes? Instead, my tax dollars went to AIG, from there to Goldman, and from there to some trader's estate in the Hamptons. Troubling, I would think.)
And FWIW, as the letters to Geithner explained, AIG wil have to pay double bonuses after they lose this suit, which they will.
What about a one-time tax on bonuses paid to employees of TARP recipients? That would sidestep the legal issue of breach of contract, although you'd still have the problem of scaring away talented managers from troubled firms. Then again, you've got that problem anyway: The more public anger grows, the likelier it is that people who work for TARP companies will be targeted in the future. While you mull a solution, enjoy the sublime irony in the second clip below of one of the chief culprits in the subprime implosion railing about profiting from incompetence.
Update: Forgot the link to Bill Kristol's piece in WaPo today begging the GOP to figure out that two can play at the populist game before Obama claims it for himself.
Can capitalism survive the behavior of some capitalists? It's always been an open question. But if capitalism is to survive, shouldn't the Republican party, the party that defends democratic capitalism, be particularly vehement in denouncing its excesses? Isn't this a pretty spectacular one? And isn't this a moment for the GOP to separate itself from the Bush administration as well as the Obama administration, who together have been responsible for an incompetent and improvident bailout? Figuring out the right policy going forward with respect to toxic assets and the rest is, of course, a major intellectual task. But being on the side of a healthy populist reaction to the AIG situation is at least a good political start.
Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy
Update: More good news from Geraghty: Not only have the checks already gone out, but many of the recipients aren't even U.S. citizens. Ambinder claims Treasury is scrambling to punish the firm somehow, possibly by knocking the cost of the bonuses off of their bailout package. How does that make sense, though? If the point of the funds is to keep the company afloat, reducing the package only reduces the likelihood of that while not taking the money out of the traders' pockets. Which I guess explains this:
Speaking of punishing AIG: Rep. Gary Peters (D-MI) plans to introduce a bill to tax AIG bonuses at a high rate this year. A spokesman for Peters says that details are still being worked out. Targeting legislation at one company is tantamount to the Congress's passing a bill of attainder against AIG. But these are extraordinary times.

PRICE-Serfino Nick, age 92, died Aug. 27, 2007 while surrounded by family at his home. He was born Nov. 19, 1914 in Hiawatha, Utah the fifth of 10 children to John and Marie Teresa Cortese Nick. Serf attended Notre Dame and graduated from Carbon High School in 1934.
Shortly after high school, he became acquainted with a pilot from Green River who flew into Carbon County long before there was an established airport. Serf trained and earned his private pilot's license setting down the plane in any field or strip of land that appeared safe. Serf remembers charging 50 cents for a joy ride above Carbon County.
In December 1941, one week after Pearl Harbor, he volunteered for the service. He enlisted in the Air Force and served from 1941 through December 1945 as a tech sergeant. His position as a flight engineer allowed him to test the bombers shipped from the factory. He test hopped and inspected the B-17, B-24, B-26 and the PBYA naval plane.
As a flight engineer, his duties were to check all flight equipment, examine the planes inside and out, and inspect the mechanics of the bombers before releasing them to war.
After the Air Force, Serf lived in California and was engaged in private flying. He owned and operated Merced Flying Service as a flight instructor, FAA examiner and charter pilot. Serf flew many celebrities in his day and he possessed a wealth of knowledge about aviation history.
Serfino and his wife Delma lived in Merced from 1945 until he retired and moved back to Price in November of 1996. Serfino and Delma restored the Nick family home and returned to be close to family and friends in Carbon County.

Upon returning to Utah, Dot and Willie became the proud parents of two children, Danny McDonald and Eve Mary Verde.
Dot had a life-long thirst for knowledge and a deep love for learning and education. She was self taught in areas as diverse as construction and library science, which she taught at the College of Eastern Utah. Her love of education has been passed on to her children, grandchildren and her fondest hope is that it will continue with her great-grandchildren. Her dry wit and keen sense of humor never left her, even in her final days.
Dealing with her health challenges during the past four years has been eased considerably by the love and support of her dear friends Marsha Hopkins and Marge Willingham.
The family expresses deep appreciation to Cheri Uzzel and the caring staff of Alta Ridge of Holladay, as well as to Millcreek Hospice, especially Angel Sullivan, and The Rev. Cheryl Moore.

This spring, indulge in a delicious exploration of Seattle's best restaurants! Lucky for you, Seattle Restaurant Week extends across Lake Washington to the shores of Kirkland. We invite you to reserve a table at bin on the lake to experience Chef Dylan Giordan's flavors of spring.
Featured specifically for Seattle Restaurant Week, bin on the lake's menu showcases a delectable selection of thoughtfully-prepared flavors to celebrate the season's finest ingredients. With so many enchanting ways to customize your dining experience, you'll be back more than once to enjoy each of chef's culinary sensations. After all, who can pass up a melt-in-your-mouth roasted pork tenderloin or ricotta doughnut holes with huckleberry sauce and espresso anglaise? The restaurant also displays over 40 fantastic wines available by the glass to sip, sample, and savor with each course. Reserve your table today to enjoy amazing food, wine, and views at our waterfront landing!
