The Environment
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Elizabeth May Saanich—Gulf Islands, BC
Mr. Speaker, I had the enormous honour earlier today to meet with Bonnie and Gord Johnston of Sundre, Alberta. They came to Ottawa to plead with members of Parliament to remember that when a pipeline leaks it is not just the environment that is devastated, it is families and it is lives.
Gord Johnston grew up on the 23 hectares where his family lives on the banks of the Red Deer River. Their beautiful river became a flood of oil that has now contaminated their entire property. Bonnie and Gord were in tears as they pleaded with members of Parliament to bear in mind what happens when environmental regulations are weakened.
In their own words, and they asked me to convey this today, they said, "Please, Mr. Prime Minister, you need to stop and think. The environment is where we live".
Cellular Towers
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Terence Young Oakville, ON
Mr. Speaker, cellular telephones and cellular telephone antennae emit radio frequency, electromagnetic radiation that the World Health Organization has classified as possibly carcinogenic. That is why Apple and RIM warn their customers to not touch BlackBerrys and iPhones during a call and to keep these devices at least 15 millimetres from their bodies. Health Canada tells parents to reduce children's EMR exposure with shorter telephone calls, hands-free devices and text messaging because children are more sensitive.
The people of Oakville do not want cellular antennae that broadcast electromagnetic radiation located near their homes, schools, day care centres or health care facilities. We have good coverage for phone calls and do not need cellular towers everywhere to broadcast hockey games to hand-held devices in every room.
Rogers and Telus are working with local residents but Bell Canada has placed powerful antennae 11 metres from a child's bedroom and over the heads of our firefighters and refuses to move them. This is intolerable. I would tell the president of Bell Canada, Mr. George Cope, to tear down those antennae.
Les Grands Rangs Co-operative
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Annick Papillon Québec, QC
Mr. Speaker, Thursday, June 14 will mark the official opening of the grocery and deli of the Les Grands Rangs co-operative on Saint-Joseph Street, in the heart of the Saint-Roch neighbourhood, in the riding of Québec.
The original idea was to create a model for building bridges between rural and urban areas, and between producers and consumers. The co-operative's mission is to bring together various artisan producers of local agri-food and agroforestry products from the greater Quebec City region and other surrounding regions.
The new co-operative will allow for knowledge transfer among generations, thus helping to preserve heritage and ensure the future of farming. This networking between producers, users and the public will contribute to socio-economic development, while respecting sustainable development, equity and local traditions, as well as ties to the territory and community.
Les Grands Rangs co-operative is a powerful symbol for building a local, collective, united economy that respects our environment. Let us celebrate the knowledge of our producers and put some Quebec on your plate.
Canada-Russia Relations
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Mark Adler York Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, yesterday marked the 70th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Canada and Russia. It was also the 22nd anniversary of Russia Day when the declaration declaring Russia state sovereignty was signed in 1990.
I am proud to speak to the enormous contributions Russians have made to our country. Over half a million Russians have chosen Canada as their home. As the representative of the riding with the largest number of Russian speaking people in Canada, I have had the privilege to participate in the richness, complexity and beauty of the Russian culture first-hand.
On the commercial front, our bilateral relationship means jobs for Canadians. Just last wee, our Minister of International Trade led a successful trade mission to Moscow and St. Petersburg with a delegation of Canadian companies with an eye to increasing the $2.7 billion worth of bilateral trade that currently exists between our two countries.
We all know that trade means jobs, growth and long-term prosperity, which we on this side of the House are committed to. I wish our Russian friends Pozdravliau S Dnem Nezavisimosti.
International Year of Co-operatives
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Mauril Bélanger Ottawa—Vanier, ON
Mr. Speaker, Corporate Knights is a respected quarterly magazine which, for 11 years, has been publishing the list of best 50 corporate citizens of Canada. To do so, it uses 11 indicators that measure social and environmental performance and corporate governance.
The top three companies this year are: Le Groupe Desjardins, Vancouver City Savings Credit Union and the Co-operators Group. It is fitting that in this, the International Year of Co-operatives, the three leading corporate citizens in Canada are co-ops.
Monique Leroux, the chair of the board, president and CEO of Le Groupe Desjardins, had this to say, "This speaks volumes about our 'cooperative DNA'. As organizations, we're rooted in our communities, dedicated to our people and the environment, and managed with a view to long-term development."
As well, all three companies are led by women: Monique Leroux for Desjardins; Tamara Vrooman, CEO of Vancity; and Kathy Bardswick, president and CEO of the Co-operators Group Limited.
Here also, the co-ops are truly leading the way.
Personal Achievements
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Ted Opitz Etobicoke Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to acknowledge the achievements of two remarkable constituents from my riding of Etobicoke Centre. The first is Johanne Fisch, who has, for the past 30 years, planted a tree in Broadacres Park on Earth Day. In 2004, he incorporated his organization, Open Flag Planet Earth, whose objectives are to educate the public on the preserving the environment and to host an open house in green space annually.
I admire and I congratulate Johanne on his commitment to the environment.
I also congratulate Brittany MacLean, a grade 12 student in Etobicoke Centre. On March 27, Brittany competed in Canada's Olympic trials and won the 400-metre freestyle event. Her time of 4 minutes and 6.8 seconds not only broke her personal best but also beat the Canadian record which has stood since 2005. Most remarkably, her win qualified her for the London Olympics. I look forward to cheering her on this summer.
I congratulate both Johanne and Brittany on their personal achievements. I am proud of the exceptional residents who call Etobicoke Centre their home and who I have the honour to represent.
Citizenship and Immigration
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Matthew Kellway Beaches—East York, ON
Mr. Speaker, we know there are skill shortages in this country and yet the government has hit the delete button on about 300,000 skilled worker applications. It is shoddy public administration, economic mismanagement and is callous.
It has also prompted a number of visits to my office from constituents, including one whose sister and family have been in the queue since 2006. She wrote to me stating, "As a landed immigrant and now a proud Canadian Citizen, I am absolutely devastated to hear about the proposal of handing back my sister's application...[along] with their future dreams and opportunities of a better life for themselves and their children in Canada.
"I cannot believe it has come to this...this is not the Canada we immigrated to. I am left with a heavy heart and an emptiness in the pit of my stomach, and the deep sadness for why I chose to come to Canada and call it home. This is not what Canada stands for".
Indeed, it is not.
Child Health Initiatives
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Kellie Leitch Simcoe—Grey, ON
Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to rise today to speak to an important organization that helps raise awareness for the health of Canadian children and youth, the sandbox project.
The main goal of this charity is to make Canada the healthiest place on earth for a child to grow up in. With a focus on anti-obesity strategies, injury prevention, children's mental health and the environment, the Sandbox project's ambitious but achievable goal is to make measurable progress against these health issues through collaboration.
In an effort to raise awareness about the importance of child health initiatives, today this organization has the world's largest sandbox here in Ottawa. Elementary school students from across Ottawa were joined by ministers, members of Parliament, NGOs, as well as industry, media and academic leaders to participate in sandcastle building. It was a great event. I especially thank my fellow members of this House who came out and generously gave of their time to participate in this event.
I encourage every member to learn more about this organization at sandboxproject.ca. I know the health and well-being of Canada's children and youth is an important priority for every member of Parliament as this generation represents our future.
Trinidad and Tobago
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Joe Daniel Don Valley East, ON
Mr. Speaker, I stand before this House to congratulate the nation of Trinidad and Tobago on its 50th anniversary of independence. Trinidad and Tobago over the years has developed a great relationship with Canada.
Recently, our Governor General, His Excellency David Johnston, was in Trinidad and Tobago to officially convey good wishes on behalf of the people of Canada. While he was there, he shared his great wisdom by addressing the faculty of the University of the West Indies.
Canada is privileged to have a community of people who are from Trinidadian descent, some of whom live in my riding of Don Valley East. I am also pleased to say that my riding of Don Valley East has benefited from their hard work, dedication and contributions to Canada.
I ask all members of this House to join me in congratulating His Excellency Phillip Buxo, the high commissioner of Trinidad and Tobago, and his delegation on this 50th anniversary. May the future bring growth and prosperity to the people of Trinidad and Tobago.
Bill C-38
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Jasbir Sandhu Surrey North, BC
Mr. Speaker, today all members of this House will begin voting on amendments put forward by New Democrat colleagues and other opposition members of this House to delete sections from and to attempt to stop this grossly undemocratic Conservative Trojan Horse budget bill.
People from across this country and in my riding of Surrey North are outraged that the Conservatives are trying to sneak through hundreds of sweeping changes, including cutting OAS, environmental assessment and fish habitat protection.
This is an attack on democracy that is masquerading as a budget bill. I know people are outraged because, unlike the Conservatives, the New Democrats went out and listened to the concerns of the Canadians and they are speaking out in incredible numbers against this bill. We are fighting on their behalf inside and outside of the House.
Today I am asking Conservative members to do the right thing and vote to respect the will of Canadians and the basic principles of democracy.
Foreign Affairs
Statements By Members
June 13th, 2012 / 2:15 p.m.
David Sweet Ancaster—Dundas—Flamborough—Westdale, ON
Mr. Speaker, Canada strongly condemns the attacks Sunday on churches in Plateau and Borno states, Nigeria, where at least six people were killed and many more were injured. The terrorist group Boko Haram has claimed responsibility for both attacks. We are deeply saddened to see that Nigerians gathering to practise their faith have again become the target of terrorist acts.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs recently met with his Nigerian counterpart to reaffirm that Canada stands in solidarity with the government and people of Nigeria in their fight against terrorism. Canada urges all people in Nigeria to work with the Nigerian government to counter extremism and terrorism, and bring to justice those responsible for these reprehensible crimes.
Last, we pray for the safety of all innocent Nigerian women, men and children. God bless Nigeria and God bless Canada.
Pay Equity
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Djaouida Sellah Saint-Bruno—Saint-Hubert, QC
Mr. Speaker, as chair of the NDP women's caucus, today, I would like to express our deep indignation over the disastrous consequences that Bill C-38, a real Trojan Horse, will have in many areas of gender equality in Canada.
Cuts to old age security and employment insurance and the elimination of the Canadian Women's Health Network and the National Aboriginal Health Organization will have a greater impact on women than on men.
Equality is not a priority for this government. Clause 602 of Bill C-38 eliminates federal contractors' obligation to respect pay equity. This will have serious consequences for women's access to employment.
I am proud that the NDP continues to work for Canadian women so that gender equality is not just wishful thinking but a reality.
New Democratic Party of Canada
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Deepak Obhrai Calgary East, AB
Mr. Speaker, our government has a plan to keep Canada's economic recovery on track. Unfortunately, the NDP has opposed and attempted to delay that plan at every turn. Sadly, this comes as no surprise from a party that is anti-jobs, anti-trade and anti-economic growth.
NDP members have opposed our pro-trade plan by voting against free trade agreements that we have brought before this House. They also, shamefully, sent an anti-trade delegation to the U.S. to advocate against Canadian jobs. The NDP's anti-jobs and anti-growth views were further revealed when the NDP leader called Canada's resource industries a disease.
When will the NDP members realize that they should be standing with us to support jobs and economic growth instead of against Canadian jobs?
Religious Freedom
Statements By Members
2:20 p.m.
Irwin Cotler Mount Royal, QC
Mr. Speaker, I rise to commend the National Assembly of Quebec on its unanimous motion commemorating the 180th anniversary of a law.
This law, which was passed unanimously, granted Jews equality and complete political and religious emancipation.
This move to grant Quebec Jews full civil and political equality was one of the first of its kind, arising out the case of Ezekiel Hart, a Jew from Trois-Rivières elected to l'Assemblée nationale, but twice prevented from sitting solely because of his faith.
We must always remember our history, our heritage and the fight for equality.
The 1832 emancipation of Quebec's Jews was a landmark step in the struggle for freedom and justice for all.
This was a significant milestone in the fight for minority and human rights.
I invite all members of the House to join me in celebrating his most historic occasion.
We remember.

tpECOmat (3mm)
tpECOmat (3mm) Yoga Mat
The portable eco-friendly yoga mat
The Kulae tpECOmat� is four inches longer than a standard yoga mat and has been designed with all styles of yoga in mind. It is constructed using closed cell technology, which means that�germs, bacteria, and odor cannot penetrate the mat surface -- you and your mat will stay safe, sterile, and stink-free!
At 3 mm (0.12 in) thick and weighing less than 2 lbs (0.91 kg), this tpECOmat is our lightest and most portable yoga mat. Our favorite thing about it? It can easily be folded up and flattened into a square for easy, non-bulky transport inside a backpack or tote! This mat is best for people on the go as well as those who have a harder time with balancing -- the 3 mm depth makes this tpECOmat especially stable!
Like every mat in our tpECOmat collection, the 3mm features two-color mats (one color per side) so it's like having two mats in one! You can match your mat to your mood or to the energy level of your practice for the day.

Storage:�Your tpECOmat should be rolled up and kept in a dry area when not being used. Avoid keeping your mat anywhere inside of hot cars or in direct sunlight to avoid the chance of premature decomposition.�
I'm in love with my tpECOmat. It outperforms the other brands, weighs less than 2 pounds (so traveling with it is easy), and of course it's biodegradable, recyclable, PVC and Latex-free! -- Chandra S.
I have been using this Kulae tpECOmat for 2.5 years in yoga class 2-3 time a week and LOVE IT! I have the one that is slate (grey) on one side and moss (green) on the other. It's an extremely lightweight mat. I like that it's two-toned, because I can flip the mat when I feel like having a different color, although the slate side is my favorite. The tread patterns makes it nice and grippy and I find the colors very soothing for yoga. This is a biodegradable mat so you cannot leave it out in the sun or it will breakdown. BUT, I do leave it in the back of my car where I have limo tinted windows, and the mat is still perfect. I liked that the mat was biodegradable because those cheap, fake plastic mats just have the worst smell to them. This mat does not have that funky synthetic smell. The Kulae website says that it's "Constructed using closed cell technology (so germs, bacteria + odor cannot penetrate the mat surface)" and I can attest to that because my yoga mat has never smelled! :-) When I look around the room at other people's mats, I still think my Kulae looks the nicest and the cool tread patterns (one side looks like snake tracks) really makes it stand out. They're not just decorative, they really work for grip! This mat is MUCH longer than most standard mats and I LOVE the extra length. I'm 5'5" but I like that my head is never falling off the edge of the mat. If you like a thicker mat, Kulae makes that too, and if you're concerned about Phthalates, their EASYmat is free of those. I am seriously happy with my Kulae tpECOmat and am thinking about buying a second mat just to use at home. -- Lydia M.
Great buy!
I'm a new yogi and I love this mat already. It's cushy enough for my knobby knees but still grips concrete and wood floors nicely, and is nice and long! Highly recommend it, and the bright green is beautiful and energizing! -- Lindsay
Love my mat!!!!!
This is one of the best mats I have ever used. As a tall girl, I love that it is long. I have the orange/purple mat and love that I can flip depending on my mood. But the Orange side us my favorite! This mat is so lightweight but very durable! I also love the fact that it is bio degradable too. With other cheaper mats I always had a problem with the mats smelling like chemicals which always seemed to take a while to go away, with this mat didn't have that problem. Thank you for making such a great mat! Namaste! -- Leslie
Great lightweight mat
Loved my Kulae mat! So lightweight yet supportive and comfortable. The only problem I ever had with it, was it got holes in it after using it in an outdoor yoga practice - any little rock, tree root punctured it. So would not recommend in that environment but it was the best all around mat I ever had! -- Maria

I love this brand. The color though is a bit off
"I absolutely love this brand. I almost exclusively buy this brand from DSW. I love the fact that shoes are Italian made. The shoes in the ad look much more brown then they really are. They picture isn't so hot. They are a lighter brown. I probably would not have bought them in the store but now that I have them I like them and so do others (which is kind of odd to have people say they love your boots)."

DSU conferred a total of 1,714 degrees, 14 more than last year, including a record 542 bachelor degrees, a 7.75 percent increase from last year (503 bachelor's degrees), along with 1,172 associate degrees, which was slightly down from last year's record of 1,197 (1.8% decrease from 2011-12). In addition, 225 vocational and technical certificates were awarded.
Former Weber State University President Dr. F. Ann Millner delivered the keynote address to DSU's Class of 2013. She lauded the collective accomplishments of the graduates, noting that their efforts not only shaped their futures, but will also leave a historical mark on the institution as the first graduates of Dixie State University.
"The future of Dixie State University is indeed exciting and you, as alumni, can and should be part of shaping that future," Dr. Millner said. "Your relationship with the institution should be a lifelong relationship in which you stay involved in the life of the university—helping students who follow in your footsteps and giving back with your time, talents, and yes, resources."
Dr. Millner, herself a life-long educator, talked about the importance of higher education, not only in her life, but in the lives of her parents, grandparents and great-grandparents. She paid tribute to her family for the commitment and sacrifices they made, generation by generation, to provide the opportunities to gain a college education.
"My father once said to me, 'the greatest gift I can give you is a college education - it is something that no one can ever take away from you and it will equip you for life and work,'" Dr. Millner noted. "I believe higher education is priceless - it is an incredible gift that enables you to fulfill your dreams.
"The impact of your education will not just be measured by your own accomplishments, but also by its influence on your family for generations to come," Millner added. "It does change lives in profound ways."
Of the record 542 baccalaureate degrees awarded Friday, just over half (281) of the graduates matriculated through four of DSU's four-year programs – communication (95), integrated studies (69), business administration (62) and elementary education (54). In all, graduates earned bachelor's degrees in 20 four-year programs, including the first-ever graduating class in art (seven graduates).
Nine foreign countries and 35 states were represented in the Class of 2013, while 88 percent of DSU's graduates (1,508 students) called Utah home. Washington County natives made up 71 percent of Dixie's graduating class (1,222), with 26 of the state's 29 counties represented overall. Female graduates constituted 53 percent of the class and the class ranged in age from 16 to 64.
This year's graduating class also featured the fifth class of high school students who were awarded an associate degree as part of the Southern Utah Center for Computer, Engineering, and Science Students (SUCCESS) Academy program. The SUCCESS Academy is a state-approved early college high school in partnership with Washington County School District and Dixie State University. This academically rigorous and challenging program provides students the opportunity to earn an associate degree through an on-campus college curriculum while also completing their high school graduation requirements at their boundary high school. The SUCCESS Academy on the DSU campus began in the fall of 2006 and to date, 220 students have completed the program and earned their associate degree, including 41 students this year.
Véronique Gillen, a native of Marseille, France, who graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, represented DSU's baccalaureate class as Valedictorian, while Devon Montgomery, a sophomore general studies major from St. George, spoke on behalf of the associate degree class.
In addition to delivering the keynote address, Dr. Millner was awarded an Honorary Doctorate Degree in Humanities during the ceremony. Dixie State also presented Distinguished Citizen Awards to John E. Anderson, Dixie H. Andrus and Gloria M. Prahl for their exemplary service to the college and community. In addition, Utah State Representative Donald L. Ipson and State Senator Stephen H. Urquhart were each presented with the DSU Board of Trustees "Excellence in Education Award" for their collective efforts in gaining university status for the institution earlier this year.
Dixie State's Commencement Ceremony is available for viewing on DSU's online video-on-demand system website at www.voddov.com/live, and will be re-broadcast on Dixie's Community Education Channel (CEC) throughout the month of May. Additionally, the ceremony will be re-broadcast statewide on KUEN-TV on Saturday, May 4th, at 9 p.m., and on KUED-TV on Saturday, May 11th, at 3 p.m.

Common Fears of Fatherhood and How to Cope
Congratulations, she's pregnant! How do you feel? If you're like most dads-to-be, you are more than a little nervous. It's okay; it's normal to experience some anxiety. According to Robert Rodriguez, PhD, a psychologist and author of several books for expecting dads, virtually all men have some fears about fatherhood. Sadly, some of these fears are strong enough to break up the relationship and some guys take out their fears on their wives or girlfriends through mental or physical abuse. But it doesn't have to go that way.
Let's take a look at the most common fears facing dads-to-be and what you can do to get over them and start enjoying the pregnancy and your new baby!
Mom and Baby's Health
Being a Good Dad
Talk about it. This is not the time to be a guy's guy and clam up about your fears. Talk to your wife or girlfriend. She will probably appreciate your honesty and willingness to open up about your concerns - and she probably has a few herself. But if you are really freaked out and are close to jumping ship, she may not appreciate the added stress, so try talking to your buddies, brother, dad, uncle or some other guy in your life who you trust and who has kids and understands what you're going through. Or get in touch with a counselor who can help you understand why you are having such a hard time adjusting to fatherhood.
Take a class just for dads-to-be. While there are tons of classes geared towards moms-to-be, there aren't too many for dads. But they are out there and they're worth your time. Look for one that covers pregnancy and childbirth as well as what you can expect after the big delivery day. Most dads are ill-prepared for what happens once the baby comes home and that is the source of most anxiety. These classes will talk about changing diapers, feeding, burping, comforting a crying baby, helping your wife or girlfriend through recovery and postpartum issues, as well as how to parent as a couple. Check out the Bootcamp for New Dads website to find a class in your area.
Educate yourself. If you are worried about what might go wrong during pregnancy and childbirth or about what might happen in the delivery room, your best defense is a good education. Knowing the facts and preparing yourself mentally will help calm your fears and make you feel prepared and able to help if and when the time comes. Go to every prenatal appointment, attend childbirth classes, read books, check out informative websites just for dads, talk to other dads and your wife or girlfriend's obstetrician.

On Nov. 7, 2007 each 3A school in Utah sent three members of their high school drill team to tryout for the 3A Allstate Drill Team.
After tryouts among more than 70 girls, 20 girls were chosen to be members of the 2007-2008 3A Allstate drill team. The 3A Allstate Drill Team will have the opportunity to perform at the Miss Utah USA Pageant to be held in February.
According to Emery's drill team advisor Amanda Frandsen, not only did Emery High Spardette's Drill Mistress Mallorie Mason make the team, she was in the top 10.
Mallorie is the 18 year old daughter of Keven and Earlene Mason of Huntington.
During this school year, the Spardettes competed in numerous competitions. Their record is: Dec. 15, 2007 at the Jordan Beet Classic, Emery took second place in their novelty routine; Jan. 5 at the Great Basin competition in Delta, Emery took second place in dance and novelty; and on Jan. 12 at the Richfield competition held at the Sevier Vally Center, Emery took second in military, third in dance, fourth in novelty and fifth in kick among the seven teams competing.
The 2007- 2008 Emery High Spardettes are: Mallorie Mason, Jaylene Mangum, Shelby Huntington, Shalee Scow, Jessica Labrum, AnnDee Adams, Heather Madsen, Leisha Magnuson, McCall Spears, Devyn Mann, Kara Stilson, Miranda Stokes, Chalet Hooley, Megan Allred, Meran Allred and Tylynn Webster.
The Emery High Spardettes were the 2007 Region Champions. This hadn't been accomplished in 10 years.

You would think the Reds were 30 games out of first and just playing out the season by the way they are sleeping through these final games.
Oh where, oh where has the offense gone?
Maybe it's good we have to play the Cards yet. It will give us something to play for.
Hopefully we will wake up.
Tough to score when you get nothing from Rolen, Heisey, Bruce, Stubbs, Navarro
Rolen finishing as he began
I wish this team would get their offense going before the Post season starts!!!! AND Drew Stubbs cant be on this team next year. I cant vision it the way he refuses to change his approach. Watching strike 3 two times tonight is so frustrating

India profile - overview
- 28 October 2015
- From the section Asia
The world's largest democracy and second most populous country emerged as a major power in the 1990s. It is militarily strong, has major cultural influence and a fast-growing and powerful economy.
A nuclear-armed state, it carried out tests in the 1970s and again in the 1990s in defiance of world opinion. However, India is still tackling huge social, economic and environmental problems.
The vast and diverse Indian sub-continent - from the mountainous Afghan frontier to the jungles of Burma - was under foreign rule from the early 1800s until the demise of the British Raj in 1947.
The subsequent partition of the sub-continent - into present-day India and Pakistan - sowed the seeds for future conflict. There have been three wars between India and its arch-rival Pakistan since 1947, two of them over the disputed territory of Kashmir.
A peace process, which started in 2004, stayed on track despite tension over Kashmir and several high-profile bombings until the Mumbai attacks of November 2008, carried out by Islamist militants overwhelmingly from Pakistan and organised by the Pakistani movement Lashkar-e-Taiba. India announced that the process was on pause the following month.
Communal strife
With its many languages, cultures and religions, India is highly diverse. This is also reflected in its federal political system, whereby power is shared between the central government and 28 states.
However, communal, caste and regional tensions continue to haunt Indian politics, sometimes threatening its long-standing democratic and secular ethos.
In 1984 Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was gunned down by her Sikh bodyguards after ordering troops to flush out Sikh militants from the Golden Temple in Amritsar.
And in 1992, widespread Hindu-Muslim violence erupted after Hindu extremists demolished the Babri mosque at Ayodhya.
Economic progress
Independent India's first prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, dreamed of a socialist society and created a vast public infrastructure, much of which became a burden on the state.
From the late 1980s India began to open up to the outside world, encouraging economic reform and foreign investment. It is now courted by the world's leading economic and political powers, including its one-time foe China.
The country has a burgeoning urban middle class and has made great strides in fields such as information technology. Its large, skilled workforce makes it a popular choice for international companies seeking to outsource work.
But economic progress is hampered by corruption, widely regarded as endemic and engulfing every level of politics and society.
The vast mass of the rural population remains impoverished. Their lives continue to be influenced by the ancient Hindu caste system, which assigns each person a place in the social hierarchy.
Discrimination on the basis of caste is now illegal and various measures have been introduced to empower disadvantaged groups and give them easier access to opportunities - such as education and work.
Nuclear tests carried out by India in May 1998 and similar tests by Pakistan just weeks later provoked international condemnation and concern over the stability of the region.
The US quickly imposed sanctions on India, but more recently the two countries have improved their ties, and even agreed to share nuclear technology.
India launches its own satellites and in 2008 sent its first spacecraft to the moon. It also boasts a massive cinema industry, the products of which are among the most widely-watched films in the world.

Posted by DesertRatonga on Jun 07, 2011
I really like this air freshener, it smells very natural and clean, the scent actually stays in the air for quite some time as well. the only reason i wouldn't give this product 5 stars is that if you have a large area to cover it seems there is very little spray inside the can, i used mine up in 2 passes through my house. wish there was a larger size.

I-35W is a north-south corridor through Fort Worth, Haslet and Burleson. As funding is identified, future widening is planned from I-30 to SH 114.
TxDOT and the region are using public-private partnerships to accelerate construction on I-820, SH 121/183 and portions of I-35W by combining express lanes and high occupancy vehicle lanes (HOV) within a comprehensive development agreement as part of the North Tarrant Express.
Construction began in 2013 on a $1.6 billion project to rebuild 10 miles of I-35W from north of I-30 to North Tarrant Parkway to double the existing capacity by adding four TEXpress Lanes, auxiliary lanes and some frontage roads. This project is being built in two segments:
Segment 3A
I-30 to I-820 (6.5 miles)
Segment 3B
I-820 to North Tarrant Parkway (3.6 miles)
The map provided below shows past and future projects with the greatest impact on this corridor. The map's history timeline and traffic counts are also broken out separately for easier access.

Mood, Heart And Soul/Today, CD (£11.50)
Great medium this CD thing for giving good value for money. As the complaints mount about the 'unjustifiably' high cost of CDs from people who don't have to try and make a living at it. Ace Records delivers up 2 albums for the price of 1-and-a-bit. So waddaya want, a free packet of cornflakes thrown in? Anyway - here we have Joe Simon, with 1974 and 1976 albums nestling side by side. The studio credits alone on Mood, Heart & Soul would make you want it at any price-.-the album was recorded at no less than Muscle Shoals, Chess, Criteria and Media Sound mmmmmm those were the days. Fellow Spring act Phillip Mitchell supplied much of the material. The Today album was not as well travelled as the other one, but does have a Bob Clear mountain mix and weird and wacky choice of covers in the Stones, "Let's Spend The Night Together", "I Just Want To Make Love To You" and the Sam Cooke classic "What A Wonderful World". Good value all round.

Voters Will Decide On Road Repairs
Voters in Yakima will decide the fate of road repairs this summer.
The Yakima City Council approved charter amendment that will mandate the city to spend 2 million dollars each year on road projects.
The ordinance takes the place of a proposed 30 dollar car tab fee that was intended to generate money for road repair projects.
People will have the chance to vote on the ordinance in August.

They are around $69 and I would enjoy making one on my own.
Yeah you can use a voltage divider to scale it down. But I'd still put input protection, see this page.http://www.kevinmfodor.com/home/My-Blog/microcontrollerinputprotectiontechniques
Another way to do it would be to use an optoisolator; this would also have the advantage of isolating your Arduino from any potential high-voltage spikes on the electrical system.

We'll respond shortly.
Once you've launched a product, "metrics" can be a powerful tool in measuring engagement and product issues. From the engineering side, devs have a hard time believing if a metric is valid or misleading. From the biz dev/marketing side, it's hard to understand the technology enough to know what kinds of questions can be asked. I've gone up the learning curve on implementing, understanding, and actioning metrics and have noticed that people have a hard time getting started. This post is the first in a series on metrics, and I hope they give you the kick you need to get started.
Today I want to focus on the funnel, a strange analogy for describing websites and conversions. If you bought a funnel that only delivered 10% of the water you poured in, you'd ask for a refund. Yet, that's how we describe the attrition that occurs as users/customers engage with your product. Funnels are important for two reasons: they force you to think about which interactions are most meaningful, and they help you understand where your assumptions aren't valid.
At Profitably, we built a financial dashboard for small businesses. Our historical analysis offering was off the mark, so when the time came to tackle forecasting we wanted to build something more engaging, but also build in a way that allowed us to iterate quickly.
We took inspiration from the wizards in TurboTax to collect the information we needed from a business owner to deliver a useful customer forecast. Even though we were worried about the amount of information we [thought we] needed, we were encouraged by Twitter's dramatic results from the introduction of gradual engagement for sign up (+29% conversion). This flow also enabled us to create a rather linear process from start to finish: no registration step, just enter the name of your company and click Get Started. Someone that successfully completed the wizard would see a detailed forecast for customer growth…end of the funnel.
We had talked with lots of small businesses before building to understand what they had been doing instead, but you can only get so far with conversations and mockups. Beyond these qualitative tactics, behavioral analytics gave us the ability to dive into this funnel and come out with hard numbers. Here's what the initial KISSmetrics funnel looked like early in the release process:
Man, that is sobering. I had reached out to every person that went through to get a sense of their business and what problems they were hoping we could solve. But, to be honest, there was a lot of work staring us in the face just from looking at that [looooong] graph. Here are my thoughts on each step, and how we reacted:
Those are just the micro/optimization-focused thoughts and actions. After implementing some tactical fixes, we saw the funnel conversion go from 13% to something in the 65% range (5X). I'll leave how we improved that funnel on a macro scale and took the product to a much better place for a different post. For now, I'll leave you with something I try to remember when thinking about making a product better:
"Product development is about figuring out the single most important problem that exists right now and doing that and only that" (Jason Freedman).
By forcing yourself to identify the funnels that are most important to your product, you'll force yourself to explain why people are falling out. You'll also give yourself a quantitative feedback loop to confirm that new features actually keep people in.

TUPELO – The Northeast Mississippi Youth Foundation gave, and the nonprofits gave thanks.
NEMYF, a group of high school juniors and seniors from across Northeast Mississippi under the CREATE Foundation, has spent much of the school year raising money to give back to the community. The group built the endowment fund to $90,815.46 by the end of March, and including the grants handed out on Sunday, has donated more than $25,000 to communities.
At the group's March meeting, the board voted to disperse $2,850 to seven organizations across the area.
"We feed people, and we appreciate this gift. It will help us a lot," said Jimmy Walker,who's with the Tippah County Good Samaritan Center. "We are so proud to see young people involved with their community and helping people."
Angie Treadaway, with the Banah Crisis Pregnancy Center in Pontotoc, encouraged the teens to keep giving.
"If every kid (helps), we can make such a difference in our world," she said. "You can become a voice for good."
First Baptist Church Saltillo Food Pantry also received a donation, and the pantry's Joyce Lee told the group how the pantry worked.
"It is totally funded by the church, and this will help expand it," she said. "This will go a very long way. I thank all of you."
Matthew 25 Food Pantry in Benton County, Chickasaw County Soccer Association, First Baptist Church Saltillo Food Pantry, Catch Kids, and Union County/New Albany Excel by 5 also received grants.
"We all nominated nonprofits that were in need, and we just prioritized," said NEMYF chair Page Rowland. "We tried to target groups that helped kids and youth, since we're youths."
NEMYF also donated coats and jackets to Coats for Kids in Benton County.

Bus travel is one of the safest and most fuel efficient forms of travel. More than 774 million travelers a year in North America travel by motorcoach. When selecting your bus company please remember that companies must have federal operating authority if they will be crossing state or provincial lines, and should be able to offer you proof of that authority, which is issued by the U.S. Department of Transportation or Transport Canada. Additionally, many states and provinces require that a carrier obtain operating authority for intrastate operations. This ensures they meet insurance requirements. Also remember to ask about their safety record and equipment and maintenance practices. The company should be comfortable with your questions and prepared to respond. As an outside source, you might also ask your provincial or state police about any experiences they may have had with motorcoach companies you are considering. Look for companies that conduct themselves in a professional manner over the phone and that promptly follow up on your inquiry.

Aetna Postpones Pathology Accreditation
Aetna is delaying the implementation of the in-office surgical pathology policy to April 1, 2013, to allow physicians adequate time to receive their additional lab accreditation.
Coding Corner:
CPT Code Changes Affecting Urology in 2013
At the May 2011 Quality Improvement and Patient Safety (QIPS) Committee meeting, committee members noted increased reports of sepsis and infectious complications after prostate needle biopsies. The Committee decided that the AUA should respond by forming a workgroup made up of members of the QIPS Committee, along with Society of Urologic Nurses and Associates (SUNA) representatives, to draft a white paper. Representatives from these organizations collaborated previously to develop a white paper on the reprocessing of flexible cystoscopes, which was well received. The work on this previous white paper served as a template for the prostate needle biopsy workgroup.
Established in 2007 by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS, also formerly known as the Physician Quality Reporting Initiative, or PQRI) is a voluntary physician quality reporting system that currently provides an incentive payment for eligible professionals who satisfactorily report data on quality measures for covered professional services furnished to Medicare beneficiaries. Annually, CMS provides participants with feedback reports that allow them to gauge their participation success. However, often there are questions about the accuracy of these reports.
Q: Dr. Chrouser, what is your role on the AUA's Quality Improvement and Patient Safety (QIPS) committee?
A: I am currently an assistant professor in urology at the University of Minnesota. In addition to clinical urology, I have a background in public health focusing on leadership and management. My research interests include surgical outcomes and patient safety, and I have implementation experience in surgical logistics and process improvement in low-income countries. I was a consultant to the QIPS Committee in 2011 and became a member in 2012. I also serve as the QIPS representative to the AUA Coding and Reimbursement Committee, as well as the AUA representative to the Physician Consortium for Performance Improvement (PCPI). I am excited to be a part of the QIPS team, helping to ensure that urologists have the tools needed to provide the best and most efficient care possible for their patients.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
The Emery County Commission held a public hearing on the Lila Canyon Mine road. Commissioner Gary Kofford explained to audience members the need for this hearing. He said the road will lead to the mine site in Lila Canyon and there has been previous mining activity in that area. It is an established road still in place. Some cattleman use the road to run cows through the area. In 1997 UtahAmerican Energy, Inc. began to permit to develop the coal reserves in the Lila Canyon area. In 1999 they came before the Emery County planning and zoning and through the commission at that time.
A public hearing must be held anytime a coal mine is within 100 feet of public road. The public hearing is held to receive comments for the purpose of determining whether the interests of the public and affected landowners will be protected when UtahAmerican Energy, Inc. begins coal mining operations with 100 feet of the Emery County road #126 and during the construction of this road.
"In 1999, UtahAmerican Energy, Inc. agreed to pay for the improvements to the road," said Kofford. A similar road agreement is ongoing now with the Rilda Canyon Road in Huntington Canyon for Deer Creek Mine.
He said the permitting for Lila Canyon was protested by SUWA and SUWA is trying to hold it up again.
There has been some talk of a railhead at a later date where a conveyor belt would move the coal down to the railhead. But, for now when the mine becomes operational the coal will be trucked to Wellington. The road is 4.5 miles in length. The road is funded by UtahAmerican and the Emery County Special Service District #1 which is funded by mineral lease money, will commit a portion of funding. Kofford explained this is how many of the roads built in the county are funded without taxpayer dollars. Jay Marshall from UtahAmerican said the opening of the Lila Canyon mine will bring 230 direct jobs and the trickle down effect will include jobs for truck drivers and other related industry.
This area doesn't see a lot of traffic. The old road will be reclaimed as the BLM permit process only allows one road. Any private roads in the area will remain open.
The county will maintain the road unless a maintenance agreement is looked at, but none is in place at this time. The county will put in the fence along the road. The road will be graded, graveled and then asphalted. Everything done to date has been paid for by UtahAmerican Energy. The road will not be built until the company is ready, but Marshall said they are getting closer.
The nearest city to the mine is East Carbon. Workers for the mine are expected to come from throughout the Emery and Carbon county areas. The question was asked how deep the Lila Canyon mine will be. Marshall said its approximate depth is 2,500 feet.
Mack Huntington is the only original planning and zoning person from when the meetings were held the first time. At that time he said site visits were held and a very thorough application process was adhered to. The county and the applicant did everything according to procedure and he was surprised the matter was being revisited these eight years later.
County Attorney Dave Blackwell said the notice put out back then didn't include the statement about being within 100 feet of the county road. So that's why the public hearing is being held now.
Priscilla Burton representing the Utah Division of Oil, Gas and Mining read the rule from the Division which states why the matter must be brought to a public hearing. She said it is primarily to protect the landowners and the public's interest.
Marshall said the area within 100 feet of the road will contain bathhouse parking and a settlement pond. Original concerns were the mining company would shut down the road, but Marshall said that is not an issue. Everyone involved must be treated fairly and this is one of the purposes for the public hearing. He also said the environmentalists thought there was an eagles nest in the area, but that hasn't materialized. The environmental group may still try to stop the road, but for now everything is ready and in place to go ahead. The county could begin on the road at any time.
The commission came out of public hearing after hearing no public comments. Kofford read one comment submitted by a phone call where someone was worried about the springs drying up from mining activity in the area. That is a dry area anyway. Those matters have been addressed in the mining plan and are unrelated to the road issue.
The commission determined they will make a written finding to the Division of Oil, Gas and Mining with the results of the public hearing on Sept. 4 and work completed in the past concerning the road project for Lila Canyon.
