Canadian Food Industry Event to Provide Strategic Insight Into Emerging Issues and Trends
Learn about the economic future of the industry, consumer behaviour and trends, industry innovations and strategies for selling your business
GUELPH, Ontario and ANN ARBOR, Mich. – Food industry professionals can gain strategic information and insight into emerging issues and trends at State of the Industry: A Canadian Food Industry Forecast on November 7 at the Pearson Convention Centre in Brampton, Ontario. Canadian food industry experts will provide an in-depth look at critical issues at this event hosted by NSF-GFTC (formerly GFTC, the Guelph Food Technology Centre), part of NSF International's Global Food Division.
Two keynote sessions tackle the economic future of the Canadian food and beverage industry and how asking the right questions can help business leaders change their companies. Expert speakers will weigh in on consumer behaviour and trends, innovation in the food industry and strategies for preparing a business for sale.
In addition to attending these presentations, participants will have networking opportunities with peers in operations, sales, marketing, technical services, government and agri-business. Attendees will also receive access to the following research reports, recently released by the Conference Board of Canada's Centre for Food in Canada (CFIC):
- Pathway to Partnership? Private Food Standards in Canada
- Toward Performance Metrics for Canada's Food System

Session Details:
Industry experts will provide two keynotes and three sessions:
- Douglas Porter, Chief Economist for BMO Capital Markets, will present the morning keynote, Economic Outlook: The Glass is Half Full. Porter will discuss where the Canadian economy is headed in a global context. He'll provide national, regional and financial market outlooks against the backdrop of a currency near par, fiscal restraint, a cooling housing market and record levels of household debt.
- Amanda Lang, CBC Reporter and author of the Power of Why, delivers the afternoon keynote, How Questions and Curiosity Fuel Innovation. She'll explain how asking the right questions has changed the world and how it can change your business, using insight from innovation gurus, little known research, the experiences of business leaders and her own candid stories of life off-camera.
- Grant Robinson, Director of The BDO SuccessCare Program at BDO Canada, will present Business Transition – The Ultimate Long-Term Strategic Direction. About 70 percent of today's businesses will change hands within the next five to 10 years, but only 25 percent have a plan to ensure they can exit under their own terms. Robinson will share how to integrate longer-term strategy with a proven approach to preparing the business for sale.
- Dr. Jean-Charles Le Vallée, Senior Research Associate at the Conference Board of Canada's Centre for Food in Canada, will present Innovation Performance in the Canadian Food Industry. He will share how Canada's food industry is performing with respect to innovation in the global marketplace, and the effects of innovation on health and well-being, the economy, the environment and society.
- Carman Allison, Director of Consumer Insights at Nielsen, will present Consumer Behaviours and Trends.

The City of Anniston and the National League of Cities Bring Prescription Discount Card Program to Residents
The NLC Prescription Discount Card can be used by all residents of Anniston and has no restrictions based on a resident's age, income level, or existing health coverage. The card can be used at several pharmacies around the community, as well as at more than 60,000 participating retail pharmacies across the country.
"Given the current economic climate, where many people need to watch what they spend, we are happy to partner with the National League of Cities to make this prescription discount card available to our residents," said Anniston City Councilman Seyram Selase. He added that "this card helps residents who are completely uninsured, as well as residents who have insurance, but have specific medications that are not covered by their insurance. In both scenarios, residents experience significant savings on prescription medications not covered by health plans."
Residents can obtain a free NLC Prescription Discount Card in a number of ways. They can print them from the Internet at www.caremark.com/nlc or can get a card at Anniston City Hall. Residents can also use www.caremark.com/nlc to locate the nearest participating pharmacy or call toll-free at 1.888.620.1749 for assistance with the program.
"We're pleased to have joined forces with Anniston to help their residents maintain their health in a cost-effective way," said Marc Shapiro, Program Director, National League of Cities. "By offering a health-focused program that provides significant cost savings and is easy to use, we are helping our member cities target an important need among their residents. We hope that the Prescription Discount Card program brings to residents welcome relief from the high cost of prescriptions."
CVS Caremark administers the NLC Prescription Discount Card program.

Hi all.
I'm looking for something to replace my Beyer T1s and am hoping for some advice. The T1s are very transparent and detailed which I generally like but I have personally found them a bit bright and a bit distant. I'm looking for something with a fuller sound that's also more engaging and intimate. After my experience with the T1s, I'm not so concerned about it being perfectly neutral or balanced; I just want something enjoyable to listen to. I listen mostly to indie rock, post rock, electro/synthpop and ambient, with a bit of hip-hop and electronic on the side. Not so worried about classical, jazz, classic rock or that kind of thing.
My previous headphones have all been fairly bright -- K701, MS2i, AD700, ER4S. Maybe I'm just getting tired of that kind of sound. I recently bought a pair of Beyer DT250s and while they're obviously less technically competent than the T1s and have their own problems, I'm finding them much more enjoyable to listen to and I'm not getting the kind of harshness and fatigue I'd get with the other headphones. I almost enjoy the narrower soundstage, though the DT250s sometimes sound a bit congested and I get some distortion in the bass.
The alternatives I'm looking at currently are the LCD2, HiFiMan HE400/500 (HE6 is probably too hard to drive), the Alessandro MS-Pro (similar to the Grado RS1 I think) and possibly the AT W3000ANV, though any other suggestions would be appreciated. Doesn't matter whether it's open or closed except insofar as that affects the sound. Electrostats and the LCD3 are above my budget unfortunately -- let's say a max of $1500 AUD, preferably less.
I'm running off a Talisman T33H (solid-state class A amp: http://www.talisman-audio.com/products/headphone/t33h.html), a Cambridge Dacmagic and AudioGD Digital Interface, and I don't intend to replace any of those at this stage.
Any impressions and advice would be greatly appreciated!

Oral Questions
3:05 p.m.
André Bellavance Richmond—Arthabaska, QC
Mr. Speaker, nearly 300 people have just lost their jobs with the closing of the Levinoff-Colbex slaughterhouse in Saint-Cyrille-de-Wendover.
The federal government has never wanted to admit that it is harming slaughterhouses by imposing slaughtering standards that are more stringent and more costly than those in place south of the border. The Conservatives' inaction is now having consequences that are devastating for these hundreds of employees. Beef producers and the Quebec government are currently working on setting up a co-op.
Will the Minister of Agriculture commit to meeting with the Fédération des producteurs de bovins du Québec in order to explore all possible avenues to save the slaughterhouse and the jobs it provides?
Agriculture and Agri-food
Oral Questions
3:05 p.m.
Christian Paradis Minister of Industry and Minister of State (Agriculture)
Mr. Speaker, it is well known that, historically, our government has always provided solid support to the Levinoff-Colbex slaughterhouse. Its closing is of course a business decision, and our thoughts are with the employees and the families affected.
However, I would like to point out that we provided the company with $4.6 million in funding to help it cope with the negative impact of the difference between its costs and U.S. costs. Our door is always open to working with producers to examine issues of competitiveness.
At the time, large amounts of money had been earmarked in the budgets, which could have gone to help the slaughterhouse, but which the Bloc voted against, I remember.
Agriculture and Agri-food
Oral Questions
3:05 p.m.
The Speaker Andrew Scheer
That concludes question period for today. The Chair has notices of two points of order. I will take them in the order in which I was made aware of them.
The hon. member for Calgary Centre.
Resignation of Member
Oral Questions
May 30th, 2012 / 3:10 p.m.
Lee Richardson Calgary Centre, AB
Mr. Speaker, I rise in the House to inform you of my resignation as the member for Calgary Centre.
Serving in this House on two different occasions in two different centuries has been the greatest honour of my life.
From 1988 to 1993, I was privileged to serve as the member of Parliament for Calgary Southeast in the government of prime minister Brian Mulroney, whose achievements included the free trade agreement and the acid rain accord, two landmark agreements between Canada and the United States.
Since 2004, I have been equally privileged to serve as the member for Calgary Centre and since 2006, in the government of Canada's 22nd Prime Minister, the right hon. member for Calgary Southwest.
To both prime ministers, I thank them for the honour of serving in their caucus. Each has remarkable listening skills when it comes to leading a united caucus, the most important leadership attribute in our parliamentary system.
This Prime Minister has reunited our party and brought it from political wilderness to government, where he leads our country with great distinction. As a Calgarian, I think all Calgarians take great pride that our country is led by one of our own. I am proud to have served in his government and am grateful for his friendship and support. I am equally proud of Laureen Harper, a wonderful chatelaine of 24 Sussex and ambassador for Canada.
I first sat in the members' gallery, and some members will recall me saying not long ago, 40 years ago, as executive assistant to the Right Hon. John Diefenbaker, Canada's 13th prime minister. He was no longer leader of the Progressive Conservative Party at that time, but he was still master of this House, the greatest parliamentarian of his time. It was a privilege to have known him and to have worked with him on his memoirs, One Canada. There was never a more partisan figure in this House than Mr. Diefenbaker, but he was, above all, a man of this House.
If I could share one thought with colleagues, it would be this. While we advocate for different ideas of Canada, we are all Canadians and we all love our country. I think we would all do well to remember that and leave the partisan furies at the water's edge.
There are many people I would like to thank, many people to be thanked, beginning with the voters of my two ridings who sent me here in five elections.
I would like to thank the volunteers and supporters in my Calgary association, and my dedicated staff who have served me so well over the years.
In particular, I want to thank Lynda MacKay, my executive assistant, who is now the longest serving staffer on Parliament Hill. Just last week she received the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Medal for her decades of unbroken service.
I am leaving to take up a new opportunity as principal secretary to the Premier of Alberta, Alison Redford. This is an exciting challenge at a moment when Alberta's new premier is claiming Alberta's leadership role in the Canadian federation in a way that only Peter Lougheed, among her predecessors, has done.
To my friends here, I say goodbye for now. I hope to see all of you at the 100th anniversary of the Calgary Stampede this July. It has been an honour to be in your company.
Resignation of Member
Oral Questions
3:15 p.m.
Nathan Cullen Skeena—Bulkley Valley, BC
Mr. Speaker, I await my call from the Premier of Alberta, but it is a long time in coming.
As my friend receives salutations and congratulations from many of our colleagues around the House, he can look at the blues later for my comments. I consider him a friend, and do so much because of the way he just responded and told us about his life and experience here.
I thank him for his many invitations to the Calgary Stampede. We now all have one for the centennial, which is great.
I also must commend him. This life and work are not often kind to us, and for somebody who can reflect back to days with former prime minister John Diefenbaker, I must say the time has been remarkably good to my friend from Calgary Centre. He is looking great. We wish him the very best from the New Democratic Party of Canada and from all the citizens we represent.
Resignation of Member
Oral Questions
3:15 p.m.
Bob Rae Toronto Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, these events are somewhat like Tom Sawyer's funeral, where he had the benefit of attending so he could hear the eulogies. The hon. member for Calgary Centre is in exactly that position.
I simply say as somebody who I suspect has been hanging around the House of Commons perhaps even a little longer than he has, what a great privilege it has been to serve with him in this House.
His words to us were well expressed and are a worthy reminder of how important a very simple word like "civility" really is. Civility does not just apply to whether or not we are polite with one another. Civility also applies to how the House itself is run. All of us who have had a chance to work with the member for Calgary Centre, whether on committee where he has served as a very effective and fair-minded chair, whether in the House itself where his interventions have always been singularly well-spoken, positive and thoughtful, or in private conversations, it can be said that he is someone who is constantly reaching out to all sides of the House not only to establish political relationships but also to establish personal relationships.
On behalf of the Liberal Party of Canada, I offer our best wishes to our friend, the member for Calgary Centre, as he starts his new position. I do not think there is anyone more qualified than him for this job, not only for the Province of Alberta and its premier, but also for all of Canada.
I know the hon. member served a similar role at the time of the premiership of Peter Lougheed. I can think of no one in the country who is more qualified to serve the Premier of Alberta who, I must say, contrary to what has been said by the House leader of the official opposition, has certainly always returned my phone calls without any difficulty. Maybe he has the wrong number.
I cannot think of anybody more qualified, not only to serve her and the people of Alberta, but also to serve the people of Canada. We wish him well.
Resignation of Member
Oral Questions
3:20 p.m.
Louis Plamondon Bas-Richelieu—Nicolet—Bécancour, QC
Mr. Speaker, I would like to join the other parliamentarians in paying tribute to my colleague, since I had the honour and pleasure of sitting with him from 1988 to 1993.
I was already in Parliament when he arrived in 1988. I sat with him and we were in the same party at the time—the Progressive Conservative Party. I think that, like him, I belonged to the progressive side. I very much admired his vast knowledge of politics and his diplomacy.
I would particularly like to thank the member for rising during the famous debate on the Meech Lake accord and showing his love for his country, Canada, but he always wanted to accommodate Quebec by being a great defender of the Meech Lake accords. I thank him for that. It demonstrated his generous spirit and his vision for the future with a very important place for Quebec. Unfortunately things did not turn out that way, but his efforts were noticed. I would like to thank him and wish him well in his new career.
Resignation of Member
Oral Questions
3:20 p.m.
Elizabeth May Saanich—Gulf Islands, BC
Mr. Speaker, I was very emotional as my dear friend, the member for Calgary Centre, stood to announce his resignation. As some may know, I worked as senior policy adviser to the federal minister of the environment in the Mulroney government, and one of the luckiest breaks I ever got was when the hon. member for Calgary Centre, who worked in the prime minister's office, took the time to help advance an issue and make sure that the great environmental goals of that government were achieved.
It has been one of the greatest pleasures for me to serve in Parliament with an old and dear friend. But he is not that old. I want to clear something up. He first worked with John Diefenbaker when he was only four or five years old. I do not know what use he possibly was to the prime minister in that era, but it speaks well of Progressive Conservative policies for child labour that we still have the hon. member for Calgary Centre among us. We will miss him very much.
I wish him the best of luck in his position with the Alberta government.
Oral Questions
Points of Order
Oral Questions
3:20 p.m.
Nathan Cullen Skeena—Bulkley Valley, BC
Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order arising out of question period today.
The member for Okanagan—Coquihalla raised a point about a bill that he has been moving through the House. We have made offers to the Conservative Party to switch his bill to allow it to pass before the summer. I am unclear as to which part of yes the Conservatives cannot take for an answer. We have offered everything we can do to move the bill through expeditiously. That is what would happen if the hon. member would agree. I do not understand why the government is continuing to disrupt the hopes and dreams of winemakers right across this country and those who enjoy it. No one shall say that New Democrats do not like wine as much as the next party.
Use of an Unparliamentary Expression
Points of Order
Oral Questions
3:20 p.m.
Claude Patry Jonquière—Alma, QC
Mr. Speaker, yesterday evening in the House, during my speech on Bill C-39, I used an English word that anglophones define a certain way. I will not repeat it in the House. As a francophone, to me that word means "to be taken for a ride" or "to be had".
Since we are in the House of Commons and some of my colleagues were offended, I would like to withdraw the word and apologize to all of my fellow MPs.

Chief Advancement Officer Jane McNabb has resigned her
position with Shoreline Community College effective June 30, 2012.
"It has been a great experience and I've been fortunate to
work with wonderful people," McNabb said. "I wish the very best for the
college, the students, faculty and staff."
In her position, McNabb oversaw the Office of Advancement,
which includes the Public Information Office and the Shoreline Community
College Foundation. She served as Executive Director of the Foundation. Her last day on campus is set for June 22,
During her time at Shoreline, McNabb organized a
record-breaking Foundation breakfast event and spearheaded a number of grant
applications. She also launched the 1964 Society, a fundraising effort that
will culminate with the celebration of college's 50th anniversary in
"I'm grateful for Jane's efforts and leadership and wish her
the best," President Lee Lambert said.
McNabb came to Shoreline from Florida where she had been
executive director of the St. Joe Community Foundation, the charitable arm of
one of Florida's largest land developers. McNabb also served for 10 years as
executive vice president of the Florida Chamber of Commerce Foundation, a
public-policy research organization.
McNabb has also served as associate vice chancellor at
University of North Carolina at Charlotte, director of leadership gifts at
Florida State University and director of corporate and foundation relations at

Funding identified for McNabb's position is being redirected
to a new position that will focus on external government relations. In
addition, the college recently added a position responsible for pursuing grants
and contracts. President Lambert has said
that with increased uncertainty around funding and policy at the state and
federal levels, the college needs to have a more consistent presence with lawmakers
as well as more aggressively pursue non-state funding sources through grants
and contracts.
Foundation and college officials are working together to
determine next steps.

By BONNIE P. KEELEFerron
The Wilderness bill has never been changed to read "substantially unnoticeable". "Substantially unnoticeable" is a term wilderness advocates plucked out of the air because they couldn't grab enough land under the real description of Wilderness which is 5,000 acres, untouched by man.
Had you banded together in the beginning, as some of the counties wanted, we would have had strength in numbers. Now, we are being picked off one by one, starting with the "weak sisters".
Wilderness is a "no" culture. No resource development, no motorized access, no mechanized access.
There is oil shale in the Swell. There is technology being developed to extract it. I'm tired of sending our money to countries to buy what we have in our own country if we were allowed to use it. I'm tired of enviromental groups trying (and succeeding) to make this Nation a bedroom community to the world. Trying to make us a third world country that can't take care of itself.
You tell us that when your bill goes to Washington, if you don't like what's happening, Bennett can pull it. That's what Washington County told their people. By the time the wilderness advocates and enviromentalist's got done with it, it was unrecognizable and too late.
The Black Ridge Wilderness Area was "created" to appease SUWA, 13,000 plus acres.
What will you "create"? Johnson's Heritage Area? That the BLM can control under the National Landscape Conservation System to wit: "to conserve, protect, and restore nationally significant landscapes that have outstanding cultural, ecological and scientific values" this already passed in the Omnibus Bill. I'll bet SUWA is salivating. Add this to Wilderness, ACEC's, ISE's, ABC's (all the other letters in the alphabet).
Or maybe you'd like a couple of National Conservation Areas that are managed like Wilderness, maybe with one dead-end road.
Let's address this great dream of tourism-the majority of tourists that come to this county are motorized or mechanized recreationists. More money is brought into this county by motorized and mechanized recreation than on foot. Whether they are hunting, fishing, looking at the country or riding trails, if they can't drive, they're not coming.
Years ago when the WSA process first started, past commissioners told us they didn't fight because they might lose. Well, we lost anyway. Now you don't fight because you're superior. You have it under control. You hired someone to help, like he helped Washington County. You got an award from the BLM for "cooperation".
By the way, five days after the Washington County bill passed, the Red Rock Wilderness Bill was submitted again and Washington County was still in it. Well duh. So much for "jumping out ahead". If Bennett wants to sponsor another Wilderness Bill, let him sponsor one getting rid of these illegal WSAs.

Shop.org and Forrester survey merchants about their goals for the year.
Thad Rueter
2013 will see retailers spending significant time improving such elements of their e-commerce sites as checkout, alternative payments, user experience and enhancements to product detail pages, suggest results of a new survey from Shop.org and Forrester Research Inc.
The groups based their most recent "State of Retailing Online" report on survey responses from 62 merchants. Shop.org is the e-commerce arm of the National Retail Federation trade group.
The findings this year show that 51% of respondents putting as their top priority for 2013 site optimization, which includes the features mentioned above. This priority follows some 12 to 18 months of dedication to mobile commerce initiatives, says Vicki Cantrell, Shop.org executive director.
"While direct mobile commerce is still small, mobile services are now an established and significant part of the shopping experience," she says. "Retailers this year are smartly investing to create a holistic customer experience across stores, desktop, and mobile to improve conversion rates, grow crucial repeat customer business, and even capture their share of customer demand from international markets."
The survey results released this week by Shop.org also show that:
• 43% of respondents put mobile and tablet initiatives into their top three e-commerce priorities for 2013. Such efforts can include new or improve mobile apps and sites, the report says, analytics capabilities and encouraging more conversions.
• 27% of respondents plan to make site redesign a priority this year. That can include "overhauling the look and feel" of sites and embracing responsive design, which means building a site displays differently depending on the viewer's screen.
• 58% of respondents report their conversion rates in 2012 increased compared with 2011.
• 53% report increasing average order values for repeat customers over the past year, while 52% report experiencing an increase in their repeat customer rates.
• 36% of respondents say that mobile sales and traffic have helped their overall conversion rates grow.
"Despite continued growth in mobile commerce, it will be important for retailers in 2013 to pause and understand the opportunities, distractions, and implications of mobile within the e-commerce landscape," says Forrester Research vice president and principal analyst Sucharita Mulpuru.

NJEA members are featured on NJTV's "One–on-One with Steve Adubato." One-on-One has a partnership with Classroom Close-up, NJ.
On Wednesday, Aug. 6 at 7pm on NJTV and 12:30am on WNET Adubato will interview Kristine Burns about the Hedgepeth Williams Story.Ten years before Brown vs Board of Education that put an end to school segregation in the United States, there was Hedgepeth-Williams V. Board of Education. On Jan. 31, 1944 - the New Jersey Supreme Court rule that local school districts and boards of education could not establish separate public schools based on race, color or creed. Paul Robeson Elementary teacher Kristine Burns and her students produced a book about the landmark decision that occurred in their school 70 years ago.
On Friday, Aug. 8 at 7pm & 11:30pm on NJTV and 12:30am on WNET John Scala is interviewed about his planetarium. Lenape Valley Regional High School in Stanhope is home to one of just a few operating planetariums located in New Jersey public schools. When the school opened 26 years ago, they included this unique educational venue where Scala serves as the Planetarium director and educator. He mesmerizes first graders from Byram Lakes Elementary School during their field trip to the high school planetarium. Then he quickly switches his attention to an in-depth discussion about astronomy with his high school students.
On Friday, Aug. 22 at 7pm & 11:30pm on NJTV and 12:30am on WNET Principal Elisio Aleman explains how a school district transforms a failing district, with the looming threat of a state takeover, to the gold standard for good urban education. The answer is through the hard work and long-term vision of educators and the community, reaching out to parents, providing resources for parents and professional development for teachers. Union City is the most densely populated city in the country. 80 percent of the students speak Spanish as their first language, and that same amount of students are on free and reduced lunch. In 2011, 89.4 percent of the students graduated...that's 15 percent higher than the national average. Nearly 60 percent head to college. Many of the staff and administrators who work in the Union City schools walked in the shoes of the students. They were immigrants or children of immigrants, grew up in Union City and then returned to give back to their community.
On Monday, Aug. 31 at 7pm & 11:30pm on NJTV and 12:30am on WNET Adubato talks to Alex Ishkanian about a puppet show called Helping Drew. Pre-K and Kindergarten students at Teaneck's Bryant Elementary School get an early anti-bullying lesson from a teacher-produced puppet show called "Helping Drew". Elementary school educator Alex Ishkanian combines his passion for the performing arts and his education background to create engaging, dramatic program for elementary-school-aged students.

St. Peter's Second Universal Letter 2:9-22
Prokeimenon. Grave Mode.
Psalm 63.11,1
The righteous shall rejoice in the Lord.
Verse: Oh God, hear my cry.
Beloved, the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trial, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment until the day of judgment, and especially those who indulge in the lust of defiling passion and despise authority.
Bold and willful, they are not afraid to revile the glorious ones, whereas angels, though greater in might and power, do not pronounce a reviling judgment upon them before the Lord. But these, like irrational animals, creatures of instinct, born to be caught and killed, reviling in matters of which they are ignorant, will be destroyed in the same destruction with them, suffering wrong for their wrongdoing. They count it pleasure to revel in the daytime. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their dissipation, carousing with you. They have eyes full of adultery, insatiable for sin. They entice unsteady souls. They have hearts trained in greed. Accursed children! Forsaking the right way they have gone astray; they have followed the way of Balaam, the son of Beor, who loved gain from wrongdoing, but was rebuked for his own transgression; a dumb ass spoke with human voice and restrained the prophet's madness.
These are waterless springs and mists driven by a storm; for them the nether gloom of darkness has been reserved. For, uttering loud boasts of folly, they entice with licentious passions of the flesh men who have barely escaped from those who live in error. They promise them freedom, but they themselves are slaves of corruption; for whatever overcomes a man, to that he is enslaved. For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overpowered, the last state has become worse for them than the first. For it would have been better for them never to have known the way of righteousness than after knowing it to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them. It has happened to them according to the true proverb, The dog turns back to his own vomit, and the sow is washed only to wallow in the mire.

text: In designing furniture for religious, educational and civic ceremonial purposes, Helmut Lueckenhausen has researched the history and symbolism of the ark. He has translated it into a work of contemporary relevance, not only for Jewish culture but also as an authoritative extension and expression of his own interest in the history and meaning of furniture. Lueckenhausen interprets this aspect of the tradition of a religious faith in Ark of the Law (Aron Hakodesh), using native blackwood (acacia) for the case. Anodised and engraved gold and silver aluminium plates that decorate the doors depict abstract delineations of a lion, a leopard, a deer and an eagle. The work's overall design, based on a precise mathematical system of grids, reflects the formal order implicit in the sacred contents that it was designed to contain, and the symbolic function it was intended to serve. As any cabinet can conceal or reveal its contents, so too can this ark suggest the possibility of order and the continuity of tradition and the world of the spirit.

Linux has had a relatively difficult time in making its impact on market shares for gamers. Dominated by Microsoft and Mac, the gaming network appears to be fairly full. In 2013, though, that could all change. Linux-powered game consoles are on their way and this could greatly impact the way in which games are played and the publishers of these sources of entertainment.
Not sure what to expect in this new year? The following explains more about these Linux-powered offerings and what they could do to the market. Specifically, focus in this article is not the systems themselves, rather, but the relationship and impact their anticipation is already having on the overall nature and scene of the gaming world.

Posted on 09/05/2006 11:49:36 AM PDT by jveritas
Document ISGQ-2005-00023243 is dated September 19 2002 and it is letter from the Chairman of the Chemistry department in the Iraqi Atomic Energy Organization where he is asking to provide him some Chemical Materials that can be used as Precursors for making Chemical Weapons mainly the Phosphorus Pentasulfide that can be used as a main Precursor to make VX Nerve Gas the deadliest of all Chemical Weapons. Other materials on the list like Phosphorus oxychloride, Thiophosphoryl Chloride and Thionyl Chloride that can also be used to make Chemical Gas weapons. All these materials are called the dual use where it can be used for some non military purposes but it can be used as main Precusrors to make Chemical weapons. These materials fall under the LIST A of the UN resolutions where Iraq is allowed to import under very strict rules but not to manufacture it.
The important material here the large quantity of Phosphorus Pentasulfide a main Precursor for VX Nerve Gas. In their March 6 2003 report, the UN Iraq weapons inspectors wrote under the VX Gas section that Iraq should Present any outstanding quantities of Phosphorus Trichloride and Phorsphorus Pentasulfide, or provide credible evidence that all quantity imported have been consumed, destroyed or spoiled, http://www.un.org/depts/unmovic/documents/6mar.pdf#search=%22UNMOVIC%20report%20on%20March%206%202003%22 (page 85 on UN pdf document).
The translation below include does not include all the materials on the list but shows only the material that are dual use and that can be used as Precursors to make Chemical Weapons.
Beginning of the translation of ISGQ-2005-00023243
In the name of God the most Merciful the most compassionate
The Republic of Iraq
The Atomic Energy Organization
The Chairmanship of the Chemistry and Materials and Department
Date: 19/9/2002
To the Respected Brother Dr. Abdel Satar Al Taai.
Subject: List of the primary materials.
In regards to the phone conversation, the local material from the list sent according to our letter 215 on 9/11 were brought back so please replace with the attached list.
With regards
Dr. Hisham Mahmod Ahmad
Chairman of The Chemistry and Materials department.
3. Material: Thionyl Chloride, Description: GPR. Quantity: 1 KG.
10. Material: Phosphorus Oxycholride: Description: GPR. Quantity: 3.5 Liter
30. Material:Thiophosphoryl Chloride. Description: 97%. Quantity: 1 Liter.
42. Phosphorus Pentasulfide. Description: 99%. Quantity: 5,500 KG.
Here you go.
Iraq would have to have reported importing that much Phosphorus Pentasulfide. This would be reported to the people handling the oil-for-food program. I wonder if they have a record of 5,500 KGs or more of Phosphorus Pentasulfide?
And we all know how "legit" the oil-for-food program was run!

Operation Iraqi Freedom Documents
Documents from the Harmony Database
I hope you are able to keep all the translations in a nice tidy file. They, collectively, will be very valuable for our side.
Is there any documentation that's emerged from Saddam's intelligence files documenting his 1993 non-aggression pact with Al Qaeda and Bin Laden? I keep pointing out this non-aggression pact as evidence against the liberal-left's mistaken idea that "Saddam and Bin Laden loathed one another." If there was some evidence of it from Saddam's own files, that could be compelling.
I have been keeping them in a file so far. I use them "liberally."
Operation Iraqi Freedom Documents
Has the link you posted labelled as shown above been moved elsewhere? It seems not to be operable at the moment.
Good for you. Are you just keeping jveritas's translations or are you collecting more than that?
My only concern is that many of these chemicals have legitimate roles in organic synthesis. It is indeed suspicious that multi-ton orders were arranged, and no mention of alternative uses wsa given. It would be interesting to see if what they claim these materials were intended for actually make sense from a chemistry perspective. They certainly could not be used in the Baby Milk Factory (tm).
Thanks, I've fixed it.
I don't know when it changed?
Precursor chemicals, and we know that the Iraqis had the recipe to make the finished VX nerve gas.
I'd say that 5500 kilos is more than enough to provide terrorists with small quantities.
I'm puzzled by the note, though. I appears first that the communication is actually a second note.
In regards to the phone conversation, the local material from the list sent according to our letter 215 on 9/11 were brought back so please replace with the attached list.
The first note must have sent "other material." They appear to be saying they got those other materials through "LOCAL" sources. They want another order instead of what they had originally requested.
This appears to verify that there were LOCAL materials available to them.
Since this list is all precursor material, then one can assume that the LOCAL material could also be precursor to WMDs.
If so, that's huge. Do you have access to "215 on 9/11?"
I also thought about the "5,500 Kg". In the Arabic language the comma in a number plays the role of a decimal point but usually if they mean five and half Kilogram they write as 5,5 Kg (5.5 Kg for us) and not 5,500 Kg as written in this document. I think here the 5,500 Kg means five thousands and five hundred Kilograms which is a huge quantity of Phosphorus Pentasulfide and I doubt very much they were allowed to import such large quantity. Saddam regime claimed that they have destroyed 157 tons of this material after Desert Storm as shown in Dr. Bilal report to the Iraq Survey Group.
Collecting more than that, the various articles that have been published on the translations, etc. I had a decent sized filed of articles on the Saddam-Al Qaeda connections before that. If you ever would like any of it, provide an e-mail address and I'll be glad to forward what I have. Just be aware it's quite extensive.
It looks like the link still doesn't work, or do I need a fresh link?
In fact I translated other documents that prove without a shadow of doubt that Iraq was planning producing these prohibited Chemical Weapons precursors. Please read this link below:
Iraqi Documents: Plans To Produce Prohibited Chemical Weapons Precursors http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1657480/posts
Saddam Regime Document: Iraqi Intelligence met with Bin Laden in 1995 http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1600579/posts
SOrry, I didn't post it in that post, since it can't be edited. I fixed it in my saved ping message/list.
Here's the correct link:
While I appreciate the significance of this document, I have some reservations about it since dozens of commonly used chemicals can be considered "precursors" to chemical weapons. One of the labs I worked in had cautions in place because phosgene was a by-product of our work.
Again, an amazing link.
"Prototype production" is all they need to produce small quantities of WMDs for use by terrorists.
Such small quantities willingly released in aerosolyzed form by a suicidal terrorist could kill 10's of thousands if released in the right venue.
Thank you!
HA! All that would do is start the liberals running around demanding that we sign a non-aggression pact with AlQaeda, too!
The quantity is rather curious.
5.5 kg of the stuff would be on the same order of magnitude as the other items on the list. On the other hand (as someone who used to order chemicals frequently), no one would order a quantity with such precision. The precision is out-of-line with the other items on the list.
Could this be an attempt to "sneak one by"?
No doubt, and I mentioned in my original post that these are dual use chemical that Saddam regime was allowed to import under strict regulations by the UN but to not manufacture locally. Anything in Saddam hands will be turn into a weapon, so I will say the probability of them using the precursors to make Chemical Weapons is much more than using it for industrial goals. As you may notice in my post 18, Saddam regime was also planning to manufacture prototypes of these precursors which they were absolutely prohibited to do according to the UN.
Also interesting is this odd statement:
"...the local material from the list sent according to our letter 215 on 9/11 were brought back so please replace with the attached list."
Could "brought back" also be interpretted as "rejected", as in rejected by UN inspectors? Multiple attempts to slip one by the inspectors?
LOL, they already are!
GPR = general purpose reagent
What do you think the numbers before each chemical represent?
I think by the time the letter was written "September 2002" the UN inspectors were not yet in Iraq, they arrived to Iraq on Novemeber 2002 under the new name UNMOVIC. The original UN inspector teams (UNSCOM) were kicked out of Iraq in December 1998, so Saddam regime had almost 4 years to work on their WMD programs, particularly the easiest of all, the Chemical Weapons.
Purity of the material.
and if that's what they were ordered for, then, per the sanctions, there are corresponding data outlining for what and how much = right? If records can't be produced to balance procurement/use = then they broke the rules...and the UN didn't follow up...(big surprise)
One doesn't need to 'slip one by' those in collusion with them - the only thing the inspectors did with great care, it would seem, is look the other way.
None of this matters since Valerie Plame looked and looked and couldn't find any evidence of it before the war. She even sent her husband to check it out, and all he found was a decent cup of tea.
So, these documents were obviously planted by Scooter Libby.
P.R.O.P.* Ping!
...to Jveritas' EXCELLENT work in translating recovered Iraqi memos and documents from Saddam's regime. This one is especially salient because it concerns dual-use VX nerve gas chemical precursors.
Further indications that George W Bush's administration was right in overthrowing Saddam, as well as their timing being perhaps crucial in prohibiting a chemical warfare candystore opening up for the likes of Alqaeda, Hamas, hezb'allah, etc...
Thank you jveritas!
PING WA please :)
Thanks for the ping!
Awesome job...again.
Do you have like a bullet, easy access list of what's been found in the documents regarding WMD that you could post?
Thanks Mark. I think I should do a bullet showing the most important finds so far in these documents regarding the WMD issue.
100% Correct.
"In the name of Allah....
Once again, a heartfelt thank you for your service to mankind.
Thank you very much just doing my little duty :)
No little about it, and no 'just' either. Proud to know that you post here. You are a giant among us.
Great work! Thousands of pages of these documents and the MSM is still ignoring the facts.

Darvish v. Fielder: Who worries you more?
The clock is winding down on the Rangers' 30-day window to sign Japanese pitcher Yu Darvish. The team has until Wednesday afternoon to reach a contract agreement with Darvish or he will return to pitch in Japan again next season (and the Rangers will save the $51.7 million posting fee they must pay the Nippon Ham Fighters only if Darvish signs).
Not coincidentally -- considering the $100 million-plus that might be freed up if the Rangers don't reach agreement with Darvish -- Prince Fielder and his agent, Scott Boras, met with Rangers officials last week to discuss Fielder's lingering unemployment.
The consensus is that the Rangers are not likely to splurge by signing both Darvish and Fielder -- a spree that could approach the $330 million their division rivals, the Angels, committed in signing a slugger-pitcher combo platter of their own in Albert Pujols and C.J. Wilson back in December. The Rangers have to keep some liquidity for their attempts to sign Josh Hamilton to a contract extension before he reaches free agency next winter. The Angels, on the other hand, locked up their most important player approaching free agency, Jered Weaver, with a contract extension last summer.
With or without Fielder, the Rangers have one of the most dangerous lineups in the American League. With Darvish and Neftali Feliz moving into the rotation, the Rangers might not even notice Darvish's departure.
So, as an Angels fan ...

While giving a vote of confidence to his Head Coach recently, Sabres General Manager Darcy Regier said if he had to pick a coach to shore up a team's defense it would be Lindy Ruff. With all due respect, the historical data does not back up that claim.
Team defense, or lack thereof, has been the Sabres biggest problem in their 5-8-1 start. Buffalo is ranked 27th in the NHL in average goals against at 3.43. For the first time in Ruff's 14 plus seasons behind the Sabres bench, they gave up at least four goals in six consecutive games.
The perception of Ruff, held by many Sabres fans, is that he is a defense first coach who stifles offense but the stats would prove different. Here are the defensive numbers under Lindy season by season with the average goals against followed by where that ranked in the league:
2012-13 3.43(27th)
2011-12 2.72(18)
2010-11 2.78(17)
2009-10 2.45(4)
2008-09 2.79(14)
2007-08 2.84(22)
2006-07 2.90(13)
2005-06 2.85(10)
2003-04 2.70(22)
2002-03 2.67(13)
2001-02 2.44(10)
2000-01 2.24(1)
1999-00 2.49(8)
1998-99 2.13(2)
1997-98 2.28(3)
Since Dominik Hasek was traded back in the summer of 2001, the Sabres have finished better than 10th just one time. In 2009-2010, Ryan Miller produced the best season of his career en route to the Vezina Trophy and rookie defenseman Tyler Myers looked like a polished veteran while skating away with the Calder Trophy.
The offensive numbers are better, post lockout. Ruff guided offenses that finished 5th, 1st and 4th. They slipped to 12th, 10th,9th and 17th the next four seasons and are currently 13th. Since the lockout, in every season except one(2009-2010), the Sabres offense has finished with a higher league ranking than the defense.
Here are some bonus numbers for you, under the category of did you know?
*Buffalo has led after the first period in only three of the 14 games(they've led after two periods only once)
*Buffalo has the second worst home penalty kill in the NHL at 72%(the road power play is 1-30(3%) for the season which is also second worst in the league)
*Overall, the power play is 1 for 26 over the last 7 games
*Buffalo is 3-4-1 against Northeast Division teams(last season they were 13-6-5)
*Still looking for their first goal of the season are: Drew Stafford and Jochan Hecht(14 games), Nathan Gerbe(9 games) and Patrick Kaleta(8 games)
*Buffalo has won only one time in the seven games when the opponent scores first

By STEVEN A. CULBERTSON
Out of the evil of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, younger Americans have looked for and found many opportunities to serve their communities, nation, and world. Students from elementary schools to middle schools to high schools are taking up President Bush's call to be "Citizens not Spectators."
Young people are making a dramatic answer to President Bush's landmark call to volunteer service. Studies show young people in the United States today are volunteering more than any other generation in American history. Thanks to our most creative teachers, one-half the high schools and one third of all schools link service to the curriculum through service-learning. Each year, America's teenagers give over 2.4 billion hours of service back to their communities valued at over $30 billion. If youth service were an enterprise, it would make the Fortune 500.
More than three million youth will demonstrate this dedication to service for the 14th annual National Youth Service Day on April 26-28, 2002. Through tens of thousands of service projects over three days, National Youth Service Day (www.YSA.org/nysd) is a public education campaign that highlights the amazing contributions that young people make to their communities 365 days a year. Young people will design and lead signature service projects in areas ranging from literacy and the environment, to healthcare, hunger, and help for the elderly. As the largest service event in the world, National Youth Service Day illustrates the President's belief that youth are not the hope of tomorrow in America; they are the hope of today!
President George W. Bush and Mrs. Laura Bush are the Honorary Co-Chairs of National Youth Service Day 2002. As the first large-scale service event since the President's call, National Youth Service Day projects in small towns and big cities across the nation will provide an entry point for thousands of young people and fitting recognition for the millions of others who already make service an integral part of their lives.
One of the many teenagers doing a project on National Youth Service Day is Sara Annear, age 18. As a young child Sara had been in and out of foster homes. By the age of 14 she was abused, addicted to drugs, homeless, and suicidal. On one fateful day, Sara was to meet her boyfriend and best friend for a planned robbery, but through various circumstances never made it to the crime scene. Her friends received life sentences. At age 15, she was put on probation for evading arrest, truancy, and theft. A local social service agency was contacted and Sara was placed in the Methodist Children's Home, Waco, Texas. It was there Sara began what she describes as her "comeback."
Sara is now President of Students Who Are Concerned About Drugs and Safety (SWACADAS) - a peer-to-peer counseling group to educate junior high and elementary school students about drugs. She has been drug-free for two years, makes straight A's as a senior at Waco High School, and will begin her freshman year at the University of North Texas in the fall. For National Youth Service Day, Sara will lead youth in Waco to raise money for teenagers in Afghanistan - using the money raised to purchase care packages filled with toothbrushes and blankets.
Sara, the recent winner of the Youth Service America-Hasbro Teens with the Courage to Give Award, credits her ability to help others with also being able to heal herself.
Not every young volunteer has a story as dramatic as Sara's. But leaders like Sara inspire us as adults to remember that there is no magic switch that creates a commitment to a life of service. We know that cultivating a spirit of service is best done in childhood, enabling youth to be community leaders and problem-solvers, no matter what their age. We also know that the number one reason young people volunteer for the first time is that someone asks them to.
Fortunately, schools have been stepping up to the plate. Much of the growth in youth service has been driven by the increase in service-learning in schools across America. Teachers have found that linking academic curriculum to hands-on community service increases the retention of information. I know the academic lessons I remember most were the things I "learned by doing" in school and in my community.
So what will you do for National Youth Service Day and over the next years of your life? Look around your neighborhood. Where is the need the greatest? What person or problem could benefit from your amazing energy, commitment, and idealism? As Martin Luther King, Jr. said, "Everybody can be great, because everybody can serve."
It will be a great day for our country when service is the common expectation and common experience of every young American. When I see the tremendous leadership that our Nation's young people demonstrate every day, I'm convinced that day is right around the corner.

Linda Levitt Jines, 1962-2012
It is with great sorrow that I share the news that my dear sister Linda Levitt Jines passed away last month after a short but valiant battle with cancer. She was fifty years old.
My very first instinct, as I sat down to try to eulogize Linda, was to call her to ask her to write it for me. Pretty much all my life, when faced with something that called for just the right words, that is what I've always done.
Most famously this happened when Dubner and I were halfway through writing a book that meandered from one topic to another and had no theme. Between the publisher, Dubner, and me, we had generated a list of perhaps fifteen terrible titles before we ran out of ideas. I knew with complete confidence that Linda would have the answer.
Indeed, it was just a matter of hours before she responded with a potential title: Freakonomics. I liked it. Dubner wasn't sure. The publishers hated it. Our editor told us "we gave you way too big of a book contract to call this thing Freakonomics!" In the end, though, Freakonomics won out, and it's a good thing it did. Without Linda's brilliant name, I doubt that anyone would have ever read the book. The name was a miracle.
Freakonomics wasn't the first time, or the last time, that I benefited from Linda's genius.
The first time that I remember was when I was in seventh grade and she was in twelfth grade. I was the nerdiest, most socially awkward kid imaginable. She decided to take me on as a project. Then, as now, I was smart enough to know to listen to her. We became like best friends, and she gave me a complete makeover. She changed my clothes. She explained to me (nicely) how terrible and unlikable my personality was, and she helped me work on a new one. She introduced me to "cool" music – the first album I bought with my own money that year was U2's album Boy. After a few years of her tutelage, I was unrecognizable. I still couldn't get a date for another four or five years, but I was a lot more fun to be around. Looking through old scrapbooks, I stumbled onto an example of a note she had written to me that year, which pretty well captures the way her brain worked:
Dear Oink-baby,
The year is more than half over and it seems to me that you aren't yet hitched with a charming little sample of 7th grade womanhood. How do you resist their insidious allure? They're like the Sirens or the Lorelei! Doesn't your heart go all aflutter when you see those tempestuous maidens in repose (i.e. math class), natural patches of cochineal flitting across their cheeks as the contemplate various virtues of the opposite sex? Well, keep trying.
Your sister,
At my middle school, every student was required to memorize a short story or poem and recite it standing in front of the class. Two winners were chosen from each class, and they "got" to do their speech in front of a packed auditorium. I was a kid who almost never spoke. Nothing terrified me more than public speaking. I asked for Linda's advice. She told me she would take care of everything. She picked out a witty, lighthearted story for me. She practiced with me, coaching me on every line's delivery. But she knew it wouldn't be enough. The piece she had chosen was told by a girl. So she dug out one of her old dresses that would fit me. Then she grabbed one of my mom's blond wigs and put it on me. She taught me how to curtsy. She declared me ready. It says a lot about my faith in her that I dutifully dressed as a girl and delivered my speech just as she wanted it. I was selected to present in the packed auditorium. Against all odds, the shyest kid in the class, dressed in drag, took home the trophy. After that I never doubted her – I just did what she told me to.
When she wasn't busy pulling the puppet strings on my life, she was doing impressive things on her own behalf. After college she got a degree in journalism from Medill at Northwestern. She went into the creative side of advertising, landing a job at one of the top Chicago ad agencies. Amused by the goings-on at the shoot for the first commercial she wrote, she wrote a satirical piece about it for Advertising Age. She got fired the next day, which turned out to be a great career move. She got hired within days by a cross-town rival with a big salary increase.
Eventually she tired of advertising. In 1995, she called to tell me she was going to start an internet business. Her idea: she was going to buy big jugs of fragrance oils used in soap-making, pour the oil into little bottles with fancy labels, and resell them online. This sounded like the worst idea I had ever heard. First, no one was making money selling things over the internet in 1995. Second, how could there possibly be enough soap makers around to make good money? We all screamed at her not to waste her time. Seventeen years later, www.sweetcakes.com remains a thriving, highly profitable business. It never ceases to amaze me. Later, she started a second online business, www.yarnzilla.com. After Freakonomics, I started a little consulting company which eventually grew into The Greatest Good. Linda was the Chief Creative Officer, her unique spirit imbuing everything we did.
And she did all this while she and her husband Doug raised the nicest, best-adjusted, most likable seventeen-year-old boy you
could ever imagine, their son Riley. (Linda's expertise at turning boys into men clearly improved with practice over time, because even after her middle school recrafting of me, I was nothing compared to Riley.) In addition to Doug and Riley, she leaves behind her parents Shirley and Michael, her sister Janet and me, as well as many nieces and nephews who could never get enough of Auntie Lin.
Every time Linda entered the room, without even trying, she became the center of gravity. One of the people at Greatest Good had never met Linda before. He walked into a conference room and all his co-workers were "grinning ear to ear." He wondered why. The answer was that Linda was there holding court.
The massiveness of her genius and creativity make the gaping hole of her absence all the greater.
Linda, we all miss you so much.

disposable shoe :(
"I am wearing these shoes today for the second time and they have ripped at the seams on the bottom. They are cute but completely disposable and for almost $40 not worth the price."

Great flats!
"Great pair of general ballet flats. They are a great soft gold color that matches lots of things. I ordered a half size up and it fits great (I almost always wear a 6.5 and the 7 is perfect). The back scrunch is a little bit annoying after wearing them for a long period of time, but I am still breaking mine in, so they may loosen up more. Overall, I am glad I got them as my new go-to flats."
