Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Scott Reid Lanark—Frontenac—Lennox and Addington, ON
Mr. Speaker, the human rights situation in Iran has worsened over the past year, particularly following the violent crackdowns against innocent citizens to stifle dissent following the farcical presidential election in Iran in the summer.
Could the Minister of Foreign Affairs inform the House of the actions the government has taken to address the Iranian threat and its persistent violation of human rights?
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Lawrence Cannon Minister of Foreign Affairs
Mr. Speaker, today, at the United Nations General Assembly, Canada will table the toughest resolution on the human rights situation in Iran. This year we are calling on the investigators to focus on Iran's appalling human rights record.
Through our leadership on the world stage, the government is addressing the egregious and systematic violations of human rights the Iranian regime carries out against its own citizens. We take this responsibility very seriously at this time and—

Judy Foote Random—Burin—St. George's, NL
Mr. Speaker, my question is for the chair of the Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates.
For months the committee has been asking the government for the exact amount of dollars spent on infrastructure. The Parliamentary Budget Officer was not able to provide the committee with specific dollars because the government had not given him the information. Now we understand the government is muzzling public servants.
I ask the committee chair, will today's agenda finally allow us to get this information or will the government stonewall and continue to obstruct the committee from doing its work on behalf of Canadians?
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Yasmin Ratansi Don Valley East, ON
Mr. Speaker, the committee agenda is focused on the impact of infrastructure spending on the economy.
Numerous witnesses have stated that the minister is not providing concrete information. It is very hard for the committee to do its work. The Parliamentary Budget Officer has also been denied the information he needs to do his job.
On the agenda today in committee, we will be hearing from the minister responsible and we trust the minister will provide the exact and complete amount of dollars that have flowed to projects so that the committee can conclude its study.
Oral Questions
October 29th, 2009 / 3 p.m.
Luc Malo Verchères—Les Patriotes, QC
Mr. Speaker, Quebec has a high-tech industrial policy that covers the innovative pharmaceutical industry. The Prime Minister has met with investors. During those meetings, he was informed that innovative pharmaceutical companies in Canada do not have the right to appeal to protect their patents, as companies in Europe and the United States do. This situation affects a number of companies in Quebec and Ontario.
When will Canada create a right to appeal, allowing innovative companies to stand up to their competition and make the most of their assets, so that they can continue to invest in research and development and preserve these high-tech jobs?
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Parry Sound—Muskoka
Tony Clement Minister of Industry
Mr. Speaker, I can say to the House that there was a meeting in May with representatives from that sector. We have an action plan to improve this situation. There is a lot of cooperation with this sector right now to address this and other issues.
We support this sector. It is a very important sector for Canada. Thanks to this government and to the policies of the Department of Finance and the Prime Minister, things are going well in this sector and other industrial sectors in Canada.
Agriculture and Agri-Food
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Alex Atamanenko British Columbia Southern Interior, BC
Mr. Speaker, 15,000 Canadian flax farmers are facing a crisis of potentially staggering proportions.
The entire European market has been closed to their crop because it had been widely contaminated by genetically modified flax that has been illegal to sell as seed in Canada.
We need a full investigation into this disaster. The source of this contamination must be found. Before approving field testing and environmental release of new GM crops, such as alfalfa and wheat, we need regulations that consider their economic impact.
Will the minister commit to supporting our farmers and protecting our food?
Agriculture and Agri-Food
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Gerry Ritz Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food and Minister for the Canadian Wheat Board
Mr. Speaker, this gives me the opportunity to say that Canada does not produce GM flax.
The Liberals took a walk on the wild side a number of years ago but that was deregistered almost immediately.
Canadian flax is safe and a healthy product. We are having some scientific discussions with the European Union at this point, but I can assure the member opposite that the Canadian Grain Commission and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency have those discussions well in hand. We are getting to the bottom of this scientifically and we will continue that work.
What farmers really want to know is what that member and his rural NDP caucus will do about the gun registry. Will they be supporting that private member's bill or not?
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Dona Cadman Surrey North, BC
Mr. Speaker, this government has made victims of crime a priority and we have committed to making our streets and communities safer.
For Surrey North, this is great news, as our streets have been plagued with crime and violence for many years. During the reign of the previous Liberal government, it sat back and watched organized crime prosper while it did nothing to protect Canadians.
Could the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Justice update the House on what the government is doing for victims of crime and law-abiding citizens?
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Fundy Royal
New Brunswick
Rob Moore Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Justice
Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for Surrey North for her tireless work on behalf of victims of crime.
After 13 years of Liberal inaction, Canadians have a government that is standing up for victims and law-abiding Canadians. We are tackling organized crime, cracking down on identity theft, auto theft and white collar crime. We are ending house arrest for serious crimes. We are ending sentencing discounts for multiple murderers.
When it comes to standing up for the rights of victims and law-abiding citizens, Canadians can count on this government.
Business of the House
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Ralph Goodale Wascana, SK
Mr. Speaker, I wonder if the government House leader could inform the House of his work program for the balance of this week and next, until the House adjournment for veterans' week.
Could he also indicate to the House when he would expect the House to acknowledge the importance of veterans' week, on which day or which occasion that will happen prior to veterans' week itself.
There also will need to be the designation of one more opposition day before veteran's week, and I wonder if the minister could do that today as well.
As well, I am sure he would want to confirm that, with respect to Bill C-26, which was referred to during the course of question period, having to do with auto theft, that the bill sat on the order paper of the Senate since the June 22. It was called once, was given second reading and is now in committee in the Senate.
Business of the House
Oral Questions
3:05 p.m.
Prince George—Peace River
Jay Hill Leader of the Government in the House of Commons
Mr. Speaker, in relation to what day the House will be doing its annual tributes to the sacrifices of our veterans and those in the Canadian Forces currently serving, that will be under negotiation. I suspect that is something that will be discussed among all House leaders in the days ahead. We will decide, obviously, collectively and co-operatively on the appropriate time to make that important tribute.
In regard to our ongoing justice program, obviously we are going to continue along, as we have last week and this week, for the remainder of the week with our justice legislation. I would note that since my last statement, we introduced Bill C-53, Protecting Canadians by Ending Early Release for Criminals Act, and Bill C-54, Protecting Canadians by Ending Sentence Discounts for Multiple Murders Act. Both of those additional bills are a key part of our ongoing efforts to reform the justice system in our country.
We sent to committee this week Bill C-42, Ending Conditional Sentences for Property and other Serious Crimes Act; Bill C-52, Retribution on Behalf of Victims of White Collar Crime Act; Bill C-46, Investigative Powers for the 21st Century Act; and Bill C-47, Technical Assistance for Law Enforcement in the 21st Century Act.
By the day's end, we hope to conclude debate on Bill C-43, Strengthening Canada's Corrections System Act. If we do that, I intend to call Bill C-31, the modernizing criminal procedure bill, and Bill C-19, the anti-terrorism bill.
Tomorrow we will continue with yet another justice bill, Bill C-35, Justice for Victims of Terrorism Act, followed by the remainder of the justice bills that I noted if they have not been completed.
Next week I intend to call Bill C-50, the employment insurance for long tenured workers' bill, which is at report stage, having had it returned from committee.
Following Bill C-50, we will call for debate the report and third reading stage of Bill C-27, Electronic Commerce Protection Act, and second reading of Bill C-44, An Act to amend the Canada Post Corporation Act,
Finally, Wednesday, November 4, will be an allotted day.
Official Report--Speaker's Ruling
Points of Order
Oral Questions
3:05 p.m.
The Speaker Peter Milliken
Yesterday, the hon. member for Mount Royal called the attention of the House to what he considered to be inaccuracies in the Debates of Tuesday, October 27.
As all members know, the Debates are not a verbatim ad literatum transcription of what is said in this House. When producing the Debates, House of Commons editors routinely edit interventions for clarity and clean up our grammatical and syntactical lapses. They also of course consider corrections and minor alterations to the blues submitted by the member to which words are attributed.
Upon verification, I want to first indicate to the House that in the situation before me all editorial changes were initiated solely by the editors. I should add that both the question of the member for Mount Royal and the answer of the Minister of Foreign Affairs were edited in this case.
For greater certainty, I have also reviewed the audio of the proceedings in question and I agree with the member for Mount Royal that the omission of the word "finally" from the edited version of the answer of the Minister of Foreign Affairs is significant. Accordingly, I have instructed our editorial staff to restore that word to the final transcript so that it may be a more faithful rendering of what was said last Tuesday.
I thank the hon. member for Mount Royal for bringing this matter to the attention of the House.
Climate Change Accountability Act--Speaker's Ruling
Points of Order
Oral Questions
3:05 p.m.
The Speaker Peter Milliken
I am now prepared to rule on the point of order raised by the hon. Parliamentary Secretary to the Government House Leader on October 8, 2009, regarding the admissibility of the motion of instruction moved on the same day by the hon. member for Vancouver East.
I thank the hon. parliamentary secretary, the hon. member for Vancouver East, and the hon. member for Skeena—Bulkley Valley for their interventions on this matter.
The parliamentary secretary argued that the motion of instruction listed on the order paper as Government Business No. 6 is out of order because, in his view, it attempts to time allocate a bill and, as such, is no longer permissive.
He added that the inclusion of a deadline in the motion of instruction had the effect of overriding existing reporting requirements for private members' bills already contained in the Standing Orders.
He also asserted that the motion contains two separate proposals and should, therefore, require two separate motions.
In speaking to the parliamentary secretary's point of order, the hon. member for Vancouver East pointed out that the committee may decide whether or not to exercise the powers given to it by the House, thus, rendering the motion permissive.
For his part, the hon. member for Skeena—Bulkley Valley pointed out that there was a precedent for such a motion of instruction, referring to a motion that was debated on May 30, 2005.
As stated on page 641 of House of Commons Procedure and Practice, and I quote:
Motions of instruction respecting bills are permissive rather than mandatory. It is left to the committee to decide whether or not to exercise the powers given to it by the House...
Once a bill has been referred to a committee, the House may give the committee an instruction by way of a motion which authorizes it to do what it otherwise could not do, such as, for example, examining a portion of a bill and reporting it separately, examining certain items in particular, dividing a bill into more than one bill, consolidating two or more bills into one bill, or expanding or narrowing the scope or application of a bill.
In the matter raised by the parliamentary secretary, the Chair must determine whether the wording of the motion of instruction is permissive or mandatory.
The first and main part of the motion is to give the committee the power to divide the bill. This is recognized as permissive by past practice and procedural authorities. I can see nothing in the motion of instruction that orders the committee to do anything specific with Bill C-311. The deadline and other procedural actions contained in the motion apply only if the committee takes the step to create Bill C-311A, in the full knowledge of the consequences that would ensue.
As I read the motion, the committee can still choose to report Bill C-311 in the same way as it would any other private member's bill.
Members are aware that the Standing Orders stipulate that a private member's bill must be reported back to the House before the end of 60 sitting days, or, with the approval of the House, following an extension of 30 sitting days. Otherwise, the bill is deemed reported back without amendment.
It has been argued, in this case, that the inclusion of a deadline in the motion of instruction comes into conflict with the provisions of Standing Order 97.1(1), thus rendering the motion out of order.
However, in the view of the Chair, it is not unreasonable to envisage a scenario where the House, for whatever reason, would want a committee to report a bill back prior to the reporting deadline set out in Standing Order 97.1(1).
So, there is nothing, in my understanding of that Standing Order, or in the procedural authorities, that would preclude the House from adopting a motion of instruction that included a reporting deadline.
The example referred to by the hon. member for Skeena—Bulkley Valley is particularly instructive on this point. That motion of instruction, debated in the House on May 30, 2005 (Journals, p. 800) stated in part: "that Bill C-43A be reported back to the House no later than two sitting days after the adoption of this motion". It provided a deadline remarkably similar to that contained in the motion of instruction moved by the member for Vancouver East.
In the view of the Chair, just as in the 2005 example, the inclusion of a deadline in the motion of instruction for Bill C-311 does not infringe on the committee's discretion to exercise the power to divide the bill, nor with its discretion to amend the bill.
Finally, the Chair is not persuaded by the parliamentary secretary's argument that the motion contains more than one proposal and that it should be divided into two separate motions. A close reading of the motion shows that the portion regarding the reporting deadline is contingent on the main proposition; namely, the permissive instruction to divide the bill.
Accordingly, for all the reasons outlined, the Chair must conclude that the motion is in order.
I thank hon. members for their interventions on this matter.

Skip to comments.Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer: My sources tell me Obama was in the room watching Benghazi attack
Posted on 10/27/2012 7:18:05 PM PDT by Free ThinkerNY
Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer said tonight that his sources tell him that Obama was one of the people in the room watching the Benghazi attack go down and both he and Col. David Hunt agree it would have taken an order by the president to intervene.
Further, Col. Hunt said that we were only 20 min away by jet and a couple of hours away by AC-130 gunships and special forces, and the decision not to intervene had to be political.
(Excerpt) Read more at therightscoop.com ...
I guess that means he can't annul the election and declare himself El Presidente for life.
the minute I found out what was happening, I gave three very clear directives. Number one, make sure that we are securing our personnel and doing whatever we need to. Number two, were going to investigate exactly what happened so that it doesnt happen again. Number three, find out who did this so we can bring them to justice. ~ Obama
This was the response to the Denver reporter.
Total lie.
We know at 5 pm Obama in the White House met with Pinetta. We know no authorization for intervention was given.
But look closer at what Obama said. Men in harms way and you... Investigate? Just go kill the guys trying to murder Americans.
Stall. Lie. Blame the video. Put it I'm the contxt of the Cairo protest. Lie some more.
I wonder if any of those folks that survived have figured out oBama wrote them ALL off for dead. Once that sinks in we may well get the real inside story. Supposedly there was live video from ground based cameras as well as the overhead stuff. It all may come to light shortly.
Something is being covered up. something worth these mens lives.
Is he still a Demonrat?
That's the story -- Jarrett kept vetoing it and Obama kept vacillating. Finally, as I recall it, Panetta and Hillary gave the go ahead. We don't know for sure, though.
Whatever the truth might be, it's apparent that this man isn't given to making decisions. Particularly good ones...
And don't forget that Obama APOLOGIZED to the muslim world after he watched the attack live.
Even used the phrase "The Prophet" when trying to castigate blame on America knowing full well he was AGAIN (F&F) complicit in murder.
You too and thank you for the pep talk.
Only thing is, it seems like they were developing their cover story even before the attack happened. And they were making sure there was no security there in Benghazi, for months before this attack - even though a 40-foot hole had been blown in the wall of the embassy and Stevens was requesting more and more security. The story is that Bill and Hillary have been arguing about whether to leak the proof that she had asked for additional security and Obama himself had vetoed it; Hillary doesn't want to be blamed for Obama losing the election and Bill wants her to expose the truth. There was too much stuff going on IN ADVANCE. It looks too coordinated.
As somebody else pointed out, when Hillary immediately responded by saying that the US government had nothing to do with the making of that film, that was a "tell". Nobody would have thought the US government had made the film, and for them to immediately deny it tells us they felt a need to deflect on the issue of who created that film and why.
It's pretty sad when the president of the United States reminds you of the fictional DoD in the horror film Apollo 18. Someone wouldn't leave you alone to die in some unknown land, unless his concerns about re-election dwarf that for other, fellow Americans, which is what happened in the Obama administration.
Apologized. Mentioned the video six times at the UN.
Then did the righteous indignation bit with Romney in the second debate.
"If this was true would it be categorized as a high crime or misdemeanor?"
Yes! Furthermore by someone who's considered an enemy both foreign AND domestic.
This dwarfs Watergate. It even dwarfs Fast and Furious.
it's double bingo nite at the casino with all the shrimp cocktails ya want !
>>Amazing! General Ham replaced 30 seconds after ignoring the Stand Down order?
Just a coincidence.
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
I'm going to put on my tin foil hat here and repeat what Glenn Beck posited recently. He said 0zero had made a deal with Egypt to have the Ambassador kidnapped and swap the Blind Sheik for him.
The former Seals screwed up the plan by trying to rescue him.
Sounds crazy but: Normal Embassy protection by Marines was not there.
2 Muslim guards were Stevens security. All rescue attempts were denied from someone on top of the food chain.
If you proposed Fast & Furious it would be impossible to imagin a President doing such a thing....Until 0zero did it.
Number three is the crazy one. He was there in the middle of it. Kill the bustturd now while he is shooting at you... WTF is this find them and bring them to justice crap?
So ? Joe Biden made a bold face lie when he said in front of the American public " we weren't told " or " we didn't know "
electric" eyes on" but of course no one was lookin / s
"I don't think Obama supporters can, and that definitely includes the MSM whose minimal coverage proves it. "
I don't think your average life-time welfare recipient even knows what Benghazi is or cares that anyone died.
I sent Brett Baier an email today thanking he and Fox for their outstanding reporting of this event. Hope many FReepers do the same.
This is why early voting is such BS. I wonder how many people who went ahead and early voted for 0bama are now having their eyes opened to what this farce of an administration is really all about.
Sorry, the picture you are referring that is posted in #6 was taken in the Situation Room when they were watching the attack on the house where bin Laden was living. It has been posted many times this past year. It is not a recent picture of them watching the attacks in Benghazi.
Think about it.......he could have had a BinLaden rerun. 130s, Seals, Delta! Massive rescue mission, saving the lives of Americans, We would have been watching footage on every station, 24/7 right up to November 6th. Just one word....GO! He opted out, why?
That is some bone shattering logic, my friend.
Of course, there isn't a thing on earth that could have stopped the narcissist in chief from seizing an opportunity to look like Sergeant York on the eve of his re-election bid - EXCEPT - if doing so would rip the covers off his own culpability in a major act of treason.
Benghazigate is blowing up bigger and bigger by the day. This thing is too big for the cabal in the White House and their sycophants in the Ministry of Truth to sweep under the rug. All roads are inexorably leading back to Obama, and there is no way that he will escape the conclusion of The People that HE LET THOSE AMERICANS DIE.
To night a young woman who never voted told me she is voting for Mitt. another young woman who lives with me and who voted for O in 2008 is voting Mitt. keep em coming folks.
Don't you know there is a hurricane going on?
Thanks to the foreign press, we can not trust the American press.
Pat Caddel (sp) was on FNC tonight and he was incensed about our news media. I have never seen him like that.
Great point.......there is no way, if his order was securing the safety of the personnel WHO WERE OBVIOUSLY STILL ALIVE, that he would immediately want an investigation of what happened BECAUSE IT WAS STILL HAPPENING and bring those to justice who DID THIS.....did what it was not concluded. This is a statement made in the past tense.
Obamanoids wonder who this Ben Gazi guy is—did he win "Dancing with the Stars"?
This is why Bath-House Barry lies so often (besides Taqiyya)-he knows his supporters are brain dead.
It sounds preposterous on its face, but it would provide a compelling reason for why Stevens was apparently transported to a hospital. A dead hostage is a worthless hostage.
That is an excellent point.
Thanks Jet Jaguar
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
He forgot to mention number 4: Blame it on some obscure anti-muslim movie that nobody ever hear of
Why would anyone put credence into anything this ahole says?
"This is why early voting is such BS. I wonder how many people who went ahead and early voted for 0bama are now having their eyes opened to what this farce of an administration is really all about."
I don't think they would even care. They just want their bennies.
True, but even after he loses the election, Benghazigate will continue to grow as a scandal, which he will not have the power to escape. He's chained to that White House until January next year. Plenty long enough for the entire world to become aware of his historic treason.
By the time Mitt Romney is sworn in, even Democrats are going to be sobbing with relief that it's finally over.
Is this supposed to be Benghazi or the Bin Laden operation?
And there is no doubt in my mind that those 22 Navy Seals were set up to be murdered too.
Sorry no benefit of the doubt to this murderer. Not after F&F and Benghazi.
The theory about the Blind Sheikh does make sense..either that or this was somehow supposed to be a Tehran 1979 hostage situation, but Obama ending up looking like the hero..but something went terribly wrong and we all know how much of a coward Obama is so he'd rather than trying to save these men, let them die so that the truth wouldn't come back to him. Obama had his internal polling from September, he was doing bad even then, he needed to do something big, and I think its connected to what happened here..he wanted to look like the hero, instead he looks like a giant Zero
link to judge's show?
Interesting theory, could be. Something more than just ADORATION for their man is going on, I think it goes very deep into a massive Cover UP.
Maybe Obama wanted to do something but he couldn't talk Valerie Jarrett into letting him.
So--to my mind--that is proof Obama HEARD the requests--in real time. And, since we KNOW he did not GRANT or GIVE APPROVAL for the requests to send help, it means he did one thing--which is NOTHING!
Which makes him a real CIC--Coward in Chief!
It is amazing how history repeats itself
If true, the only appropriate sentence isn't 'jail time', it involves a hypodermic needle, sodium barbatol, and potassium chloride...
the infowarrior
THE MSN's are complacent in this COVER UP, and should be brought up on CHARGES, their license to operate pulled.
They need to be sued for aiding and abetting, failure to disclose the incompetence of their candidate Obama.
How many major companies have been charged with failure to disclose to the public about their product??? Same here.
I am completely with you there, man
Actually, I think it would be fitting to see him water boarded first.
The idea is to go public, and that person will need to be bullet proof from repercussions, which means s/he will need a US Rep or Senator with clout to see that his pension is not revoked, nor any promotions stalled.
Also, I can't thinkof a serious reporter of good character, other than Bret Baier and Jennifer Griffin, and perhaps Laura Logan, the woman who was sexually assaulted in Cairo and has been speaking out ever since.

I would guess about a million people in the USA go on vacation every day, and maybe 1% of them turn off their water heater. Consumer devices, such as residential water heaters, are very conservatively designed. The T/P device and the expansion tank should be adequate protection.

Culinary no-no #372
Take a look at the following photo. What do you see?
You're pretty certain you know what that is. But it's also possible to see that picture and think of…
For real political junkies no explanation is necessary. But I'll provide one anyway.
The delicious, flaky, yummy kringle is the latest entry as a state symbol in the Wisconsin Blue Book, now designated as the official state pastry. The 2013-15 state budget signed into law includes this provision:
"The Wisconsin Blue Book shall include the information contained in this section concerning the state song, ballad, waltz, dance, beverage, tree, grain, flower, bird, fish, animal, domestic animal, wildlife animal, dog, insect, fossil, mineral, rock, soil, fruit, tartan, and pastry."
O&H Bakery of Racine spokesperson Sara Willing holds up the Wisconsin-shaped cream cheese kringle that was specially designed to commemorate kringle as the official state pastry. This kringle is considered "party size" and is considerably larger than the kringles commonly found in O&H stores. Photo: Racine Journal Times
The proposal to make the kringle the "state pastry" was contained in the state budget even though it was a non-fiscal item, a scenario that lawmakers ideally try to avoid, but often don't. It was authored by a Racine Assembly Democrat, Cory Mason. Democrats at the time were and still are the minority party in both houses of the WI legislature. Despite being a non-fiscal item put forward by the minority party, naming the state pastry was one of few items to win resounding bipartisan support in an otherwise-contentious budget process.
To gain ever greater support, Mason chose to label the kringle as a "pastry" so as not to knock heads with another state symbol proposal being talked about, the cream puff as the official "state dessert." The same dual strategy was used in Maine which has a state treat, the whoopee pie, and a state dessert, blueberry pie.
During the 2011 regular session of the WI Legislature, Senate Bill 100 designating the cream puff was introduced by state Senator Mary Lazich on behalf of Mrs. Coley's 2010-11 4th Grade Class from Mukwonago Clarendon Avenue Elementary School.
Lazich was invited by the class to hear why the bill was a good idea, and students even traveled to Madison to testify in support.
Generally, that's how these proposals to create a new state symbol work. Led by their teacher, some Wisconsin students study an issue and suggest that their elected state legislator(s) introduce a bill. After consideration and agreement, the legislator (usually through an aide) has the state's Legislative Reference Bureau draft the bill, which doesn't take much time or effort. The text of the cream puff bill contained only 78 words.
Put yourself in the shoes of a lawmaker in Madison. Young students from your district conduct thorough research, propose an idea, collect signatures in support, and respectfully request that you introduce legislation. Pretty tough to say no.
But that doesn't stop the naysayers. Here are some of the on-line comments made about the cream puff plan:
Now that's what I call important state business. The economy is in the tank, gas prices are out of this world, joblessness is running rampant and Wisconsin Legislators are introducing bills to name a state dessert. Wow!
OMG what a waste of time.
Good to hear they are taking time to work on the important issues.
I thought this was an Onion headline at first. I know its a harmless bill and a complete waste of time, but with the curent rate of obesity in this state, why do we need an official dessert?
I am ashamed to tell anyone I am originally from Wisconsin. What an embarassment for the citizens.
Would the last sane person to leave the state please hit the lights?
Ok so I'm glad I'm not the only one disturbed by this.
Though the cream puff bill passed in the state Senate, it never came up for a vote in the state Assembly. State symbols don't always win. Efforts to name a state microbe and a state motorcycle also failed in Wisconsin.
The best intentions can open the door widely to lots of criticism. That's what's happening now in
Rhode Island where folks are up in arms about...
Fried squid rings with banana peppers. Calamari.
State Representative Joe McNamara (D) wants squid rings with banana peppers designated as Rhode Island's official state appetizer. His supportive arguments: Calamari is a convenient way to highlight Rhode Island's fishing and restaurant industries, the state has the largest squid fleet on the East Coast, Rhode Island ships to all 50 states and around the world, and the designation could boost tourism. Rhode Island's squid fishing industry brings in about 23.5 million pounds per year with annual landings worth about $18.5 million per year. More pounds of squid are brought to store in Rhode Island than any other seafood. Rhode Island has the largest squid-fishing fleet along the eastern seaboard. The fishing, hospitality and tourism industry is crucial to the economy of the state.
McNamara introduced the bill last year. It died. He's introduced it again. Just last week…
News, Weather and Classifieds for Southern New England
The opposition has arguments, too.
The jobless rate in Rhode Island currently is 9%. That's the highest in the nation.
Rhode Island in some studies is considered the worst state to do business.
No other state has a state appetizer.
You've seen the TV video. Let's go to the comments section on the TV station's website:
Our politicians priorities smell fishy, don't you think?
It still amazes me that we are the highest unemployed state in the country and the biggest concern in The House is the "state appertizer bill" Wake up RI....start voting these people out!!!!
Are you kidding me? With the highest unemployment rate in America the priority is taking up a bill to name calamari the official appetizer of RI? What the heck is going on? Too afraid to tackle the real issues?
We must look like complete idiots to other states... LOL
REALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. I have no words
Unfreakin' believable ....
Nice.... if you like fried rubber bands
Why do we need a state appetizer??? We need jobs and laws that make sense. God help us!
The State is going down the Toilet. Highest Unemployment rate in the Country. And these Morons are worrying about Calamari. That just proves that these Legislators think everyone is Stupid. You know what? They ARE.
We need to vote these idiots OUT ASAP!!!!
There are better ways to show kids how the process works.
Definition of crazy.....
Maybe this comment from another website sums it up best:
"I'll miss the food in Rhode Island, but I needed a job so I had to leave."
And BTW, it's inevitable some lawmaker in WI will someday propose a similar bill. If so, it had better be deep fried cheese curds.
You can't make them eat it.
The weirdness of ballpark food.
Hold the ranch, please.
Dying to eat there? Not me.

Jan. 17 was the last day of the interim pre-session of the 2002 Legislative Session. The 2002 General Session of the 54th Legislature began Jan. 21. The interim pre-session was necessary to make up for time that will be lost due to the two-week adjournment for the Winter Olympics.
During the interim, the legislature was in committee meetings preparing legislation for debate during the general session and adjusting for the shortfall in the 2002 budget.
Two bills presented by Representative Bradley T. Johnson are on track and numbered. The first is HB-253, Rural Schools Equity in Education, which would provide scholarship money for teachers who teach more than one subject to help further their education; and HB-208, Government Acquisition of Property, which would require legislative approval before land could be transferred to federal ownership.
"The interim pre-session has been a new and exciting experience for even the most seasoned legislator. It has been a pleasure serving the people of Emery, Sanpete and Sevier counties as your voice in the House of Representatives," said Representative Johnson. "Please feel free to contact me during the General Session with your concerns or input. I look forward to being of service to you."
To contact Representative Johnson call 801-538-1029, or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The MECCA bike club recently finished its riding season with their Fall Festival ride. They have been involved in rides including their annual spring ride and rides in the community celebrations around the county. The Fall Festival at the Wedge is in its sixth year. From the beginning, the Festivals have been geared to a wide-range of mountain biking enthusiasts - from the novice to the seasoned; from the occasional to the frequent; from the single rider to the family of riders; and from the rider whose sole interest is the picturesque surroundings to the rider whose sole interest is in the merits of the bike. Rides vary in degree of difficulty, each offering a different perspective of the beautiful San Rafael Swell. There really is a ride for every interest.
The Festivals provide not just a biking experience but opportunities to learn of others' interest in riding - whether it's during a "pit stop" along a ride, the evening-before-the-rides pasta dinner and drawing or during the after-the-rides Dutch-oven cookout and stories around the campfire - there's time to learn from others.
When you ride the unfamiliar, you'll want to be guided through the experience. MECCA club members take pride in "pampering" their Festival guests. Got a question about some aspect of the event (When's lunch? Why does my bike....? How much further until we get there? What's that formation called? Where can I buy supplies?), a club member will be identifiable and not too far away. Also not too far away are the "sag wagons" with emergency personnel and supplies (they're also there to give you a lift if you tire before the end of the planned ride). The club even provides an "on-duty" mechanic for minor bike fixes.
Bikers gathered at the Wedge for rides of varying difficulties. They aet a spaghetti dinner and also a Dutch oven dinner. Breakfasts were also provided by the club.

Tithes, Tithing
A tenth part of a person's annual increase given to the Lord through the Church. Tithing funds are used to build churches and temples, to sustain missionary work, and to build the kingdom of God on earth.
- Abraham gave tithes of all he possessed to Melchizedek:Gen. 14:18–20; ( Heb. 7:1–2, 9; Alma 13:15; )
- All the tithe is the Lord's: it is holy unto the Lord:Lev. 27:30–34;
- Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase:Deut. 14:22, 28;
- The tithe of all things brought they in abundantly:2 Chr. 31:5;
- Will a man rob God? Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings:Mal. 3:8–11; ( 3 Ne. 24:8–11; )
- He that is tithed shall not be burned at his coming:D&C 64:23; ( D&C 85:3; )
- The Lord's house will be built by the tithing of his people:D&C 97:11–12;
- The Lord revealed the law of tithing:D&C 119;
- Tithing shall be disposed of by a council:D&C 120;

Sasuke will lose to Naruto, BUT he won't leave malcontentedly like Madara did, because Naruto will Revive The Uchiha Clan and Itachi (hope), This revival will soothe Sasuke and pay him back in full for his Sorrows and anger. It fits because Sasuke has always demanded the lives of his family back.
his act of full revival will close the circle of Hatred and reunite the two halves of the SO6P,. When this happens, I wish for the past Hokages (and espescially Hashirama and Madara) to be witnesses to it.
Of course, to be able to revive so many and not die will be the issue. Maybe Naruto's new powerup, or a portion of The Jubi's Life force (since it is the progenitor) will be enough.

I get comments from my family and their friends- assumptions that DS doesn't like being worn b/c he's fussing when I put him in the wrap. But he's being put in the wrap b/c he's cranky- are they going to assume that he hates being kissed later on, when I kiss his boo-boos? They shut up when Senor Crankypantalones becomes Senor Fastasleep. Wish me luck, though, as I'll be visiting my grandmother, who likes nothing better than to tell me that I'm doing everything wrong.

If the market is calm, maybe it's time to worry.
That's the gist of Citigroup (C) strategist Tobias Levkovich's note to clients this morning. The measure known as correlation — it's high when investors buy and sell stocks in big, worried chunks — is down around 30% for the biggest components of the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index (SPY). This state of relative calm "continues to argue for some near-term caution," Levkovich argues in a note co-authored by Lorraine M. Schmitt and Christina Wood.
There's a logic here: Periods of extreme correlation are times of heightened worry, and they often end up as buying opportunities. See our column, "How To Profit From High Correlation," Barron's, June 30, for more on this subject.
Stocks have spent the great majority of time since the financial crisis with tighter correlation. The measure was around 80% earlier this year. It hit near 100% as recently as mid-2011, according to Citi's data.

The Green River Medical Center gave a report to the Emery County Commission and requested their annual donation for the operation of the medical center. The Green River Medical Center is a federally funded primary health care facility for the medically underpopulated and underserved. The patients are charged on a sliding scale according to their income. The staff includes a physicians assistant and a supervising physician that visits the facility twice each month. A dentist from Moab sees patients once each week. The East Carbon pharmacy fills prescriptions for Green River Medical Center patients. Lab work is sent out to Quest Lab services. Last year the clinic treated 856 medical patients and 27 mental patients for a total of 2,839 patient visits. Seventeen percent of the visits are from the elderly, 28 percent from those under 18, 17 percent Hispanic patients and 38 percent of the patients are not insured.
Money donated by Emery County last year was used for a generator for the clinic. The clinic also acquired a decontamination tent this year. Emery County donates $24,000 each year for the clinic.
Glenn Baxter also spoke of the needs the medical center fills. He said the staff at the center take very good care of the center. They also serve Grand County residents who take advantage of the sliding scale payments. The center is also asking Grand County to help support the center monitarily.
Sheriff LaMar Guymon said the center performs a vital service as it is the only medical facility for miles on I-70. Often trauma patients are brought to the center which also has a helipad and they are transported to the hospital from there.
In other commission business they looked at a piece of property which was acquired in the May tax sale to determine if it was in the best interest of the county to sell the property. If they decide to sell it will be by sealed bids. The property has an IRS lien on it as well as the debt to the county for taxes owed. The house on the property is occupied.
Notice of any such sale must be posted on the property. The county would sell for the county costs involved. Any new owner would take care of liens on the property and would be responsible for evicting those living in the house. County Attorney David Blackwell will look at the matter and determine the best way to handle the property legally.
The county will begin advertising for a lube mechanic to replace an employee who quit.
Commissioner Jeff Horrocks said the Green River Senior Citizen Center is moving along. The Lawrence cemetery committee is researching the unmarked graves and working with DeMar Guymon for metal headstone markers for the unmarked graves.
Commissioner Drew Sitterud said he attended the CIB and Castle Valley Special Service District had received a $1 million grant. Orangeville City also received a grant to finish the recreation center at the city park.
The county is involved in budget hearings at this time with department heads and elected officials.
Commissioner Sitterud met with the water users in Green River to discuss a new diversion. The old diversion is going to need a lot of repair. Several million dollars is estimated to be needed for the project. All of the Green River water users seemed in favor of the project.
Commissioner Sitterud attended the Association of Local Governments meeting where Lt. Gov. Gary Herbert spoke and Commissioner Sitterud said Herbert was politicking at the meeting. The governor was supposed to hike the Arch Canyon with SUWA, but he has declined to do that until the roads issues are decided. Emery County has seven roads in the quiet title process at this time.
The 10th district court determined that SUWA does not have standing as long as the BLM does their job in taking care of the land.
Commissioner Sitterud said the addressing group is still working on the common names of roads as the road moves from county to county. This is an ongoing process. He complimented Jeff Guymon the IT man on his work on the addressing.

Goodbye Sweater
November 11 2010 09:16AM
After Florida scored to make it 4-0 the Panthers feed showed something that TSN chose not to; a Leafs jersey thrown onto the blue line by a presumably disgruntled fan.
It was a powerful image; a Leafs fan who lives in Florida or travelled to Florida on holiday tossed their formerly beloved sweater on the ice to show how awful this team is right now.
I took a picture of the television to post it on the internet and when I hit play on the DVR the Leafs had scored. Mikhail Grabovski blew a one timer top shelf over Tomas Vokoun.
For a second I had an image of this jersey being tossed away like an unwanted kitten and it turning the Leafs season around. It could have been a message to this team that the fans have had it. Fans of your team in away buildings are almost necessarily die hards. They're the people who put up with the stream of insults and jeers to watch their team.
Glancing around the Bank Atlantic center crowd on TV you could see Leafs fans with their faces painted and signs cheering on their team in the lower bowl. Another time I might have said good riddance to the fan who tossed their jersey on to the ice but given this stretch all I can do is admit I understand his or her feelings.
It can't get any worse from here, right?
November 11 2010, 11:27AM
I've put my Leafs gear away, we are no better off then we were 2 years ago, we are still soft, we cant score, and i dont see much truculence, pugnacity or testosterone in this group. I'm gonna pull a DGB from last jan? feb? and do a leafs cleanse. No more defending MLSE, TML, etc. lets go canucks

The Green River Community Center honored their Volunteers of America program participants recently at a turkey dinner. This is a national nonprofit organization and Green River is part of the program. The seniors help with many activities and programs in Green River. The retired and senior volunteers as well as the foster grandparent program began in Emery County about 10 years ago. Right now the branch is more active in Green River but has been active in all of Emery County.
Teresa Zamudio is the program coordinator for Emery County. She was part of the organizing team for the volunteer and recognition dinner. "We want to recognize the work these volunteers do for our community. We are celebrating by providing a meal for them. They really give a lot. They help deliver meals to seniors. They help at the thrift store where they sort donations. They are really involved in the afterschool program where they read with the children and help them with homework. They help with art projects and activities too. They help with meal preparation for seniors and the children. The volunteers really enjoy their work and we have many regular helpers. When people volunteer they get back much more than they give. They are very gratified and the spirit of giving lives in them. The spirit of service is alive in these programs," said Zamudio.
Sue Weaver is the program director for the Utah Volunteers of America, she along with Mark Manazer, CEO, came to Green River from the Salt Lake office for the volunteer recognition. Weaver said, "The program is for seniors 55 and older. It's proven if you stay active and have an active life you will live longer and have a more fulfilling life."
Manazer said, "Our seniors are a wonderful untapped resource. They have so many skills that they can use and contribute in the community. They do a great job. The average age of our volunteers is 68. Mature individuals have a life time of experience to share."
Program organizers said they are always looking for volunteers. Volunteers also receive a mileage reimbursement for their travels for volunteer work. In Emery County currently there are 110 volunteers and they are always looking for more.
To volunteer in Emery County call Teresa at the Green River Community Center.

I highly recommend you spend some time at the zoo with your camera. Larry

By JASON BAILEYSun Advocate/Emery County Progress
Those that know me know that I love Mozilla Firefox. I love the way it looks and feels. I love the fact that it's open-source. But I really love the idea that it's capabilities can be extended or expanded through the use of addons.
Mozilla's addon site, which is located at http://addons.mozilla.org, contains dozens of addons that can be easily downloaded and installed at a single click of the mouse, and lets Mozilla fans customize their Firefox to suit their specific needs.
I frequent the site quite often and have found a a number of Firefox addons that I have grown to love. While some of them are a better fit for the tech savvy, a number of them are well suited for the vast majority of users, beginner or expert.
1. Firefox Showcase
I spend a lot of time online, browsing all kinds of websites. It isn't uncommon for me to utilize multiple browser tabs and browser windows at the same time. And Firefox Showcase makes navigating between all of those open tabs and windows in Mozilla Firefox a whole lot easier.
When Showcase is invoked, it takes a picture, or snapshot, of every website that Mozilla Firefox has open and then displays them in an arrangement of rows and columns. If a particular snapshot is clicked on, the user is taken to the browser window or tab that contains that particular website.
While Showcase can be invoked by pressing the F12 key, it can also be accessed by icons that can be placed on the browser's primary menu bar. Showcase also integrates with the All-in-One Sidebar addon.
2. Xmarks
Formerly known as Foxmarks, Xmarks is a must-have for people who aren't always on the same computer and want their browser bookmarks to follow them everywhere they go. The latest version also does the same thing with your website passwords, if you want it to.
I find Xmarks useful because if I bookmark a website on my notebook computer, for example, the bookmark will appear on my desktop computer as well. I don't have to remember which bookmarks are on which computer.
Once Xmarks is installed on each of your computers, changes to your bookmarks get synchronized with the Xmarks server. You must register with the Xmarks server and create an account to use the service, but the sign up is free.
3. FlashGot
Not everyone spends a lot of time downloading large files, but for those that do, FlashGot is a welcome addition. While FlashGot doesn't actually manage large downloads, it helps integrate the download application with Mozilla Firefox, helping bridge the gap between the two.
FlashGot actually jumps to action when the download link has been clicked on. FlashGot simply passes the URL, or address, to the download along to the download application. It's a fundamentally simple addon, but it is pretty handy!
4. Speed Dial
Like many people, I'm a creature of habit. And when it comes to browsing the World Wide Web, I frequent many of the same websites. Without Speed Dial, I have to manually type the addresses in the address bar or fetch them from a large bookmark menu, which gets old really fast.
Speed Dial is really convenient because it makes the process a lot more visual. When Speed Dial is invoked, it displays a page with an assortment of small website snapshots, or thumbnails. Once one of the snapshots is clicked on, Firefox loads the corresponding page. It's sort of like browser bookmarks with pictures.
5. All-in-One Sidebar
As the name suggests, the All-in-One Sidebar displays a customize-able sidebar that docks to the left or right of the browser window. It's an interesting addon that really doesn't usurp it's true potential until it is combined with other addons, like Firefox Showcase, for example.
The sidebar provides a fast, unified and convenient location for many browser features, such as bookmarks, downloads, extensions/addons and visual themes.
Another nice feature of the sidebar is that it easily integrates with Firefox Showcase. With a click of the mouse, click-able small screenshots, or thumbnails, of every open window or tab display in the sidebar, in contrast to a separate pop-up window.

A man and a woman are presumed drowned after they were dragged away by a fast-moving, icy river in Sioux Falls as they tried to save a 6-year-old child. The child managed to make it out safely. (March 15) AP
Kindergartener had slipped into icy South Dakota river.
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. — The body of a 16-year-old who jumped into the icy Big Sioux River here to rescue her brother was recovered Friday, and authorities also are looking for another man who tried to help the 6-year-old child.
Garrett Wallace of Vermillion, S.D., slipped into the water at about 6 p.m. MDT Thursday while climbing rocks under a pedestrian bridge at Falls Park in northern Sioux Falls, authorities said.
The kindergartener was able to get out of the water, but it was unclear how he did so. Sioux Falls' police chief, Doug Barthel, said they don't know whether the boy was in the water when his sister, Madison Wallace, and Lyle Eagletail, 28, of Sioux Falls went in after him or if he was in runoff foam that floats above the water.
Emergency workers carried the boy away from the river wrapped in a blanket, and he was not injured, said Jim Sideras, Sioux Falls Fire Rescue chief.
"These people literally jumped in without thinking of their own safety and trying to rescue that child," Sideras said. "It's a very noble act that they did, and they probably contributed to saving that boy's life."
A friend of Eagletail who witnessed the tragedy, Napoleon Ducheneaux, 21, said Eagletail was holding onto the girl and boy by their hands before his hands began sliding. Then, he just "slipped and disappeared," Ducheneaux said.
A third person tried to help and briefly held Eagletail's arm as the first police officer arrived on scene, but the rescuer couldn't hang on.
"Unfortunately, (the officer) wasn't able to get there in time to assist him, and he lost his grip," Barthel said. Water temperature of the river is close to freezing.
The body of Madison Wallace, a sophomore at Vermillion High School about 60 miles north of here, was found Friday after an all-night search, Sideras said.
Crews diverted water from upstream to aid in the search and recovery effort, but higher water levels earlier may have pushed the Eagletail's body farther along the river, Sideras said. Fast-moving current, jagged ice 2 feet thick in places that was broken up by rescuers, foam up to 10 feet deep, and murky water have been hindering the search.
"Everybody here has their eyes on water. Looking for something as small as a knee, patch of clothing," he said.
Sideras said he has been in contact with Madison Wallace's father, who is in a state of shock.
"Our prayers are with them, we want to help them cope as best they can," he said.
The city of Sioux Falls is named after the Big Sioux River's cascading waterfalls in Falls Park. Fatal accidents are rare at the park.
In 2006, the body of Travis Hallan, 29, was found just north of the falls after his canoe tipped over. In 1999, Slavisa Andric, 26, drowned after losing his footing on rocks at the park. A bystander in 1997 pulled the body of Omar Iasi Ibrahim Warsame, 43, from the water below a bridge where he had been fishing.

Getable Rental Expert
Unlike some other heavy earthmoving equipment, trenchers are many rated by how deep they dig and how fast they move through the hardest soil. Each trencher is listed by horsepower, but HP alone doesn't determine how quickly the trencher works. Higher horsepower can easily translate to a slower model if the digging tip is designed for making a deeper trench than a unit with a less powerful engine. Going higher in horsepower and faster in digging speed than necessary won't affect the results, so aim to rent the strongest and fastest trencher the budget can handle. This results in less time spent on the trench part of the project, reducing rental fees and labor costs alike.
Trenchers are used everywhere that trenches are needed. Some of the most common use cases include:

Canadians lead Slovenian volleyball squad to historic win in Champions League
LJUBLJANA, Slovenia – Head coach Glenn Hoag of Gatineau, Que., and player Dan Lewis of Oakville, Ont., helped Slovenia's ACH Volley BLED to an historic victory in Champions League volleyball playoff action.
The Champions League tournament determines to the top professional volleyball team in Europe.
Volley BLED defeated Hypo Tiro from Innsbruck, Austria 25-20, 19-25, 25-20, 25-19, then won the golden set tiebreaker 15-10 to advance to the final four for the first time in its history before a sell-out hometown crowd of 4,200.
"Our team deserved the win," said Hoag. "The prize for all the hard work will be the feeling of being present at the final four, of achieving the impossible. It is an amazing feeling to play here".
Lewis, a 33-year-old Canadian national team veteran, played the libero position and made 25 receptions. The libero is essentially the captain of team defence, and is responsible for organizing the other players on the court in serve-reception and during regular play.
This was the second part of a home and home series between Bled and Innsbruck. The Austrians took the first match last week in four sets thus necessitating a golden set to determine which team advanced to the final four April 10-11 in Poland.
Also advancing to the final four were Moscow Dynamo and Italy's Trentino. Belchatow, Poland is the other entry as host.

Trent Reznor used shut-down music sharing site
Trent Reznor, the Nine Inch Nails frontman who encouraged his fans to steal music, had a favorite site to steal from. It was Oink, the music-sharing site that got shut down last week, as he told New York:
I'll admit I had an account there and frequented it quite often. At the end of the day, what made OiNK a great place was that it was like the world's greatest record store. Pretty much anything you could ever imagine, it was there, and it was there in the format you wanted... it existed because it filled a void of what people want.
Reznor also feels "hustled" when he visits iTunes. Maybe he'll donate to help The Pirate Bay build their BitTorrent replacement. (Photo by AP/Louis Lanzano)
