Recent tragic events provide an opportunity for all students, employees and visitors to the Shoreline Community College campus to review the emergency procedures and policies that are in place.
President Lee Lambert is asking the campus to do more.
"Reviewing our procedures is part of our daily work; it is expected," Lambert said. "I would hope that the Connecticut shootings would prompt more than just a policy check, but spur thoughtful and thorough conversations about all the facets of such an event and the American experience with such violence."
Lambert said those areas could include public safety, gun control, mental health and the effectiveness and implications of policies and actions in those areas and more.
"Using our college governance structure, I'm asking College Council to consider how such conversations might occur on our campus in a meaningful way," Lambert said. "The College Council includes representatives from all campus constituencies and I'd hope any effort gives everyone an opportunity to be heard and learn if they so choose."
Lambert noted that the college does have in place a variety of policies, procedures and resources related to emergencies of all kinds.
"Our goal is to promote a safe and welcoming environment to improve the quality of campus life for everyone learning and working at Shoreline Community College," President Lee Lambert said. "We do this by working in partnership with the campus community to provide professional and effective campus safety."
The college has in place a number of plans that outline procedures for general as well as specific emergency situations. Those plans include:
In addition, the college provides information in emergency situations, which may include campus-wide safety alerts. The college urges individuals to read the current emergency measures, including:
Pursuant to state law, the college restricts the possession of weapons, including firearms, on campus.
State law RCW 9.41 outlines restrictions regarding firearms and dangerous weapons. All people in Washington are subject to the provisions of RCW 9.41. In addition, WAC 132G-120-015 prohibits students, employees and visitors from unlawful possession of firearms or any other weapons on campus.
To facilitate a quick response to any incident, the college has in place a Behavior Intervention Team. The team receives reports of inappropriate student behavior and determines whether or not to work with the student to address those issues and concerns. Instances of inappropriate behavior involving employees may result in referrals to the Employee Assistance Program or other resources.
In the event of an emergency on campus, the college uses a Web-based system to alert students and employees via e-mail and their choice of phone text and/or phone voice-mail. It is critical for the safety of all students and employees that they sign-up for the service at www.shoreline.edu/Connect.
To report an emergency situation, an individual may use any of the following options:

Friends, faculty, staff and students at Shoreline Community College gathered Thursday, Dec. 13, 2012 in the Pagoda Union Building to wish Dean of Students Dr. Tonya Drake the best as she prepares to move to a new position at Edmonds Community College. More photos.
A packed board room listens to comments by retiring Humanities Dean Norma Goldstein. More photos
Faculty, staff and administrators from across Shoreline Community College turned out to wish Humanities Dean Norma Goldstein well as she prepares to leave the college in retirement. Goldstein is moving to Annapolis, MD, with her husband who is taking a new job there. Her final day on campus will be Dec. 28, 2012 and last day with the college is Jan. 7, 2013.
Goldstein was feted by all who spoke as a feisty champion of excellence, always moving forward toward the goal of helping students.
In her letter of retirement, her notes of program highlights clearly showed a continuing enthusiasm for the work and initiatives started and starting under her watch. Every program under her lengthy title of "Dean of Humanities, Academic Standards, Accreditation, articulation and Transfer, Transitional Programs/Basic Skills and K-12 Relations" received attention in her letter.
While a permanent replacement has not been named, Visual Communications faculty member Kathie Hunt is serving in an interim role.
Starting Feb. 11, 2012, Shoreline Community College will use only College-assigned e-mail accounts( email@example.com ) for all official communication with students. Official communications may include messages about grades, payments, financial aid and other assistance, emergency and other notifications, the Blackboard and Canvas learning management systems and other messages as required.
What is it?
A fully functional Gmail account assigned by the college to each student.
Now-Jan. 14, 2013 – Inform students of coming change.
Jan. 14 – Students without College-assigned e-mail are notified of their new go.shoreline.edu accounts.
Jan. 19-Feb. 10 – Students log-in to new go.shoreline.edu accounts.
Feb. 11, 2013 – All College-communication to students transitions to go.shoreline.edu addresses.
All student addresses in the Blackboard and Canvas learning management systems will change to assigned go.shoreline.edu accounts
Primary address for Blackboard Connect emergency communications will change to assigned go.shoreline.edu accounts. Secondary Blackboard Connect e-mail addresses will not change.Standardized e-mail accounts for all students will help assure complete communication of College messages to all students and help protect privacy as required under the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act.
A significant number of students already have College-assigned go.shoreline.edu accounts. These accounts are in compliance and students using previously assigned accounts are not affected by this change.
Students without a College-assigned go.shoreline.edu account will receive an account and be notified at their current e-mail address on file with the College. These students will be required to log-in to the College-assigned account.
Starting Feb. 11, 2013, all students are required to use their Shoreline-assigned go.shoreline.edu e-mail account for all college correspondence. The use of any other account in any configuration (forwarded, POP, IMAP, etc.) is not supported. Students are solely responsible for any consequences that result from lost or delayed communications resulting from the use of any e-mail account other than the College-assigned go.shoreline.edu account.
In Xian, China, Shoreline Community College President Lee Lambert and Hou Baolin sign a memorandum of agreement regarding student housing on campus.
Shoreline Community College is one big step closer to offering on-campus student housing.
On Sunday, Dec. 9, Shoreline President Lee Lambert signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) for a 400-bed facility that would be built on the site of the current soccer field and track at the north end of the campus.
"This is a very exciting day," Lambert said. "Shoreline has wonderful programs that draw students from down the block and around the world. This project will be open to all students, making it easier to get the education and training they want and need."
The MOA outlines a partnership between the college and private investors led by local resident David Lee. Under the agreement, Lee and the investors will build and operate the facility on land they lease from the state of Washington, which owns the college campus. The MOA gives the college review and approval rights in significant areas of the design, construction and operation of the facility.
"This is a wonderfully creative and cooperative opportunity," Lee said. "I've always admired the beauty of the Shoreline campus. We want this project to be part of that beauty."
While no specific plans are yet drawn and no price tag, the agreement calls for the facility to be built to LEED Silver standards at a minimum. Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is an environmental design rating system developed by the U.S. Green Building Council. While LEED Silver is required for new state-owned buildings, that was never a problem for Lee and the investors, according to their representative, Windermere Real Estate Broker Marguerite Knutson.
"David Lee has seen the campus many times," Knutson said. "The design, the trees and the natural beauty of the campus are all things they want this project to respect and embrace."
In addition to building the facility, the developers take on the lion's share of operations. They will operate the building, including staffing and maintenance, all tied to agreed-upon standards. The college will have some increased expenses, including staffing for increased safety and security and student programming services.
The developer is responsible for collection of rent payments from students, with a portion going to the college. The college would also receive an annual payment for lease of the land and there is a one-time, non-refundable deposit due when the lease is signed.
Led by David Lee, the other investors are from China. Both Lee and Lambert traveled there for the signing, which occurred Dec. 9. The son of one of the investors has attended Shoreline, according to Lambert.
"This agreement involves international partners, but it is also about local residents and families of our students wanting to help build this college for others," Lambert said. "This agreement not only opens the way to break ground on campus, it breaks new ground as a model for public/private partnerships for higher education in Washington."
Signing the MOA is a significant milestone, but the work is not done, Lambert said.
The college had already been working with the City of Shoreline on a Master Development Plan (MDP). That process was on hiatus while the housing agreement was worked out.
"We're excited that the college is pursuing this project that will have a significant positive impact on the overall Shoreline community," said Dan Eernissee, Economic Development Manager for the city. "We look forward to working with the college to meet the needs of students, the college and the city."
The MDP work will now resume with housing included, clearing the way for the city's normal project-specific approval processes.
"We know that parking and traffic will be top concerns of the city and our neighbors," Lambert said. "We think the project may actually improve our on-campus parking situation and, with up to 400 students staying on campus rather than jumping in their cars at the end of class, it may help there, too."
Also, the ground lease must be worked out and signed with state officials. That process will involve the State Board for Community and Technical Colleges, which oversees Shoreline and the other 33 campuses in the state.
"Both the city and state are aware of this project, but now we've got to do the work," Lambert said, adding that if all goes as anticipated, students could be moving in by August, 2015.
"This project is a significant step toward getting all our students ready to be successful in an increasingly globalized world," Lambert said. "The faculty and staff are working hard to create dynamic learning environments inside and outside of the classroom. Those efforts will be greatly enhanced by having domestic and international students living and studying together.
"This is critical to the success of Washingtonians as more and more of the state's jobs are tied to international trade."
Shoreline Community College will transition to the Canvas learning management system. The decision to change was made by President Lee Lambert on Dec. 5 after a significant review period by faculty, students and staff. The transition from the current Blackboard learning management system will take place over the next several quarters with full implementation by summer quarter, 2013. "We had one faculty member pilot a class in Canvas this fall quarter and we will have a handful of faculty piloting Canvas for winter 2013," said Ann Garnsey-Harter, the Director of the Virtual College and eLearning Support Services. "We will spend winter quarter focused on training the rest of the faculty so that they can teach at least one class on Canvas for spring quarter. Faculty who are scheduled to teach for summer quarter can choose to wait to teach on Canvas until summer." The decision followed weeks and months of extensive inquiry, discussion, and consideration, said Garnsey-Harter. The entire process leading up to the decision is documented at https://sites.google.com/site/scccanvasdiscussion.
The State Board for Community and Technical Colleges negotiated a statewide license with Instructure, the company that created Canvas. Shoreline will take advantage of the statewide contract and expects significant savings. Canvas is open-source software, meaning that users are encouraged to create additions and improvements and share those with other users. Washington will have a large group of users with almost all colleges and universities, including the University of Washington, deciding to move to Canvas. "We are very excited about Canvas and look forward to serving students with what they have called a 'modern' and 'user-friendly tool," Garnsey-Harter said. Shoreline uses other software products from Blackboard, including the emergency messaging system and the app for mobile devices. Those contracts are tied to the decision to move to Canvas.
State Rep. Cindy Ryu welcomes attendees at a Dec. 6, 2012 legislative forum at Shoreline Community College. More photos
Six state legislators from three districts came together at Shoreline Community College for a public discussion and forum on state budget issues.
To kick off the Dec. 6, 2012 meeting, the audience of about 50 people heard a presentation by Andy Nicholas, senior fiscal analyst at the Washington State Budget & Policy Center, on the impacts the recession and budget cuts have had on the state and more specifically, higher education.
Washington State Budget & Policy Center reportThe meeting was hosted by four state representatives, including Cindy Ryu from the 32nd District, who acted as emcee, Derek Stanford and Luis Moscoso from the 1st District, and Gerry Pollet from the 46th District, all Democrats. The audience included Ryu's seatmate in the House, Rep. Ruth Kagi, D-Shoreline, and third 32nd District legislator, Sen. Maralyn Chase, D-Edmonds.
Nicholas' presentation focused on the budget imbalance accelerated by the economic recession and made a case that new revenue is needed for the state's long term fiscal health. Included in the presentation was the idea of adding a limited capital gains tax in the state.
Much of the conversation between audience members and legislators revolved around the question of new revenue for the state budget. The Legislature's 2013 regular session is scheduled to begin on Jan. 14, and end on April 28.
The Senior Executive Team (SET) of Shoreline Community College is making some adjustments to widen opportunities for input and discussion around important college issues.
SET generally meets four times a month to consider, discuss and decide on a variety subjects and issues pertinent to the college. SET will continue on that schedule, but now also include other groups and individuals on a scheduled and as-needed basis.
Senior Executive Team (SET)
President's Senior Executive Team (PSET)
"We need to make sure SET is regularly interacting with people from across the campus on key issues as the college moves forward," Vice President for Administrative Services Daryl Campbell said. "These adjustments will help assure wider participation."
Moving forward, SET will be comprised of the three vice presidents, including the Vice President for Academic and Student Affairs, Vice President for Administrative Services and the Vice President for Human Resources and Legal Affairs. The anticipated monthly meeting schedule includes:
According to a memo outlining the adjustments, SET is the primary campus leadership group and responsible for ensuring the college conducts operations in accordance with standards of accreditation, pursuant to its mission and in line with its strategic plan. SET ensures accountability, drives transformational change and communicates frequently with all constituent members across campus regarding strategic-level issues.
SET meetings generally last between 90 minutes and two hours. Each vice-president will serve as meeting facilitator on an approximately four month rotation. While SET does deal with emergent issues as needed, in general, the agenda items should be submitted to the current SET facilitator at least three days in advance of the meetings.
Prior to these adjustments, SET membership included the vice presidents as well as special assistants and executive associate to the president. Those positions and the vice presidents will continue to participate in PSET meetings, which are chaired by the president.
While Washington voters recently approved Initiative 502 that eases some criminal penalties for possession of marijuana by adults over the age of 21, the new law does not change Shoreline Community College policies that prohibit illegal drugs on campus.
"Changes in state law do not change our policies that prohibit possession, sale and use of marijuana and other illegal drugs at the College," Vice President for Human Resources and Legal Affairs Stephen P. Smith said at the Dec. 4, 2012 College Council meeting. Shoreline's drug policy is required for the College to receive federal funding, including financial aid for students.
Shoreline and all schools that accept federal funding, including federal financial aid to students, must comply with The Drug Free Schools and Communities Act that went into effect in 1990. The act prohibits universities and colleges from allowing drugs on campuses in order for the schools to receive federal funding.
The campus drug ban also applies to medical marijuana. "The state medical marijuana law doesn't provide any protected status to the user under College policy," Smith said. "The federal law still applies."
Shoreline's Policy 5030, Student Conduct and Discipline includes anti-drug provisions. A summary of related College policies for employees and students should be reviewed at: www.shoreline.edu/policyondrugs/

Great design!
"Love the darker peacock design on the shoe, very unique and pretty. The shoe style itself is very sexy. Not real comfy due to the lack of a platform but tolerable enough to wear for a few hours. Ran true to size for me."

very pretty
"These shoes cut into my foot a little bit on the inside where it comes right above where that bone is near my big toe. Nothing too horrible, but I'm hoping they will stretch out a little bit as I wear them more. They were too pretty to pass up. I would say that the colors are a little more muted in real life vs the computer, but still so beautiful. I think they will look just as good with jeans as they do with skirts for work. And, I was lucky enough to find them in the store on sale! Extra bonus :)"

Beautiful but narrow
"Okay so for the record I do have a wide foot but when I got these shoes in the mail they didn't fit me! I could barely put my foot in. I would say go up half size(& possibly order the wide) if your foot is average or wide in anyway. They were sold out online in the bigger size which I'm RARELY a size 11 so they had to go back. I will say that the shoe is stunning! Def looks like a shoe worth more than $60. If you can find the right sizing/fit for you then you will not be disappointed at all! I'm very sad that I had to return these."

(Old title was: Course prerequisite does not block access to next course)
In the cool brand new Course completion interface, there is a "Course prerequisite" setting. Apparently, course prerequisite should block access to course "B" if course "A" is set as prerequisite for B.
Creating course A with completion criteria, and a course B with A as prerequisite, does not seems to block any access to a student role enrolled in both.
Not sure if it is how Course prerequisite is supposed to work, so maybe it is not a bug, however it could be worth looking at.

Hi Andrea,
Course prerequisites in course completion are requisites for completing the course - rather than blocking access to the course.
So for instance, if course "A" is a prerequisite for course "B" - you cannot completion course "B" until you have completed course "A".
Hope this helps,
HI Aaron,
thank you for your clarifications, I was probably get into failure by the words "Course prerequisites" used.
Maybe it could be worth evaluating another type of sentence, such as "Course to be finished to complete this course" or something similar, so no one can have doubt about the meaning of the setting.
Hi Andrea,
How about changing the name to "Course Dependencies" or something similar?
I was confused by this today as well (see forum post http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=155083#p680346 ) and I agreee it might be useful to rename it to be clearer.
I agree, prerequisite is the wrong term to describe this feature.
prerequisite - required as a prior condition or course of study
I suggest using "Preparatory Course(s)" instead.
preparatory - relating to or engaged in study or training that serves as preparation for advanced education: a preparatory course;
What about dependency?
dependence: the state of relying on or being controlled by someone or something else
"Course Dependencies"
Preparatory still sounds like you need to complete the other before beginning this. Where in actual fact you need to complete the other course before you can be found complete in the current course.
I'm curious why the process would be this way at all. A clearer functionality would be to block a course before completing another course. I can't "start" English 102 until I've "completed" 101. To only prerequisite the completion seems like a strange approach. I realize that this thread has spoken about the semantics of the functionality, but the functionality itself appears to be the issue. Am I wrong?
As far as I can understand the functionality to block access to subsequent courses was not intended to be there, so the semantic should be changed accordingly.
I agree that it would be very useful to be able to completely block enrollment or access based on other course completion. Although this is not how it was initially programmed I think this is more valuable than changing the name or what the feature is called.
I agree. The ability to block course access until the pre-requisite is completed would be a useful feature. I don't really see the use of the current 'pre-requisite' function.
+1 for changing the functionality to make a prerequisite function like a prerequisite - this has caught numerous clients of mine off guard, and on seeing how it functions now the response has been quite clear that the current functionality is largely pointless for their needs.
Pretty please can we change the functionality?
As I understand it the way it currently stands you can have an overall course("Social Media" for example) which has a set of submodules (other courses twitter, facebook etc), which must be completed before you complete Social Media. This can apply to years, semesters and overall training course, or even induction - very similar to the approach of meta-courses.
Its a great use case, but I agree name can throw people off. +1 to rename existing functionality
I also think the full blown prerequisite feature is neeeded (having seen it in ELIS, Totara). +1 to have that functionality
Any clues as to when this will get some priority? Starting to get more queries and puzzled looks from clients as to why this doesn't function the way people think it should.
Once this passes peer review I will cherry-pick to the other affected branches
The string changes look good.
Reading the documentation for the page http://docs.moodle.org/23/en/course/completion the description here clarifies what this setting does. I give my +1 for changing the strings to "Completion Dependencies". An additional idea would be to add a help link with possibly the description from http://docs.moodle.org/23/en/course/completion#Course_prerequisites So that Teachers can fully understand what is happening.
It may also be a good idea to raise a new issue for an improvement / new feature of course prerequisites.
One other thing. Please include a set of test instructions.
The main moodle.git repository has just been updated with latest weekly modifications. You may wish to rebase your PULL branches to simplify history and avoid any possible merge conflicts. This would also make integrator's life easier next week.
TIA and ciao
Hi Everyone,
I agree with this change. But i'm afraid we can't change the terminology like this in the stable branches. It invalidates documentation/books and generally is not fair on our users to do this kind of change part way through a release.
So i've integrated this change into master only.

Comments: Picked up a pack of the Bluegill color. The bass love these, caught 7 up to 2.5 pounds the first time out with them. Great, life like snaky action, much like the Lake Fork Tackle Live swimmin' slug, except better colors. Sink well and cast well, the 4.25" is best on a 1/0 EWG hook, the 5.25" a 3/0 hook. Seems to draw more strikes sometimes than a regular straight body fluke style soft jerk.

Organized tackle is a key element to becoming a more successful bass angler. Plastic tackle boxes are now the norm, and the preferred choice for most anglers. The only problem is they all look the same, making it hard to tell what's in each tackle box. The solution is Line Rite Tackle Tags, which are a durable, color-coordinated labeling system, designed to give anglers the ability to quickly identify the location of their tackle. No more searching through box after box to find that special lure. Just peel and stick the Line Rite Tackle Tags onto your tackle box and take the guesswork out of your fishing trip.
Each package of Line Rite Tackle Tags contains two tackle tag cards with two large tags and two small tags per card. The Line Rite Tackle Tags are made to be UV, tear and water-resistant, and use a space-age adhesive for effortless application.

Opposition Motion—Electoral Financing
Business of Supply

1:40 p.m.
Lise Zarac LaSalle—Émard, QC
Mr. Speaker, I hasten to support the hon. member for Beauséjour because, indeed, the electoral financing transfer scheme used by the Conservative Party of Canada constitutes electoral fraud and represents an assault on the democratic principles upon which Parliament and our electoral system are based. At the end of February, the Commissioner of Canada Elections filed four electoral fraud charges against the Conservative Party and four of the senior directors of its electoral fund, Conservative Fund Canada, including two senators. All were charged with knowingly violating the Canada Elections Act during the 2006 election.
The first charge is against Conservative Fund Canada, Senator Finley, Senator Gerstein, Michael Donison and Susan J. Kehoe and reads:
Between November 1st, 2005 and January 23rd, 2006, in the City of Ottawa, in the Province of Ontario and elsewhere in Canada, did wilfully incur election expenses in relation to the 39th federal general election that exceeded the maximum of $18, 278, 278.64 for the Conservative Party of Canada, contrary to Section 423 (1) of the Canada Elections Act and did thereby commit an offence punishable on summary conviction contrary to Sections 497 (3) (g) and 500 (5) (a) of the said Act.
The second charge is against the Conservative Party of Canada and reads:
Between November 1st, 2005 and January 23rd, 2006, in the City of Ottawa, in the Province of Ontario and elsewhere in Canada, being a registered party whose chief agent, the Conservative Fund Canada, did wilfully incur election expenses in relation to the 39th federal general election that exceeded the maximum of $18,278,278.64 for the Conservative Party of Canada, contrary to Sections 423(1) and 497(3)(g) of the Canada Elections Act is guilty of an offence punishable on summary conviction contrary to Section 507 of the said Act.
The third charge is against Conservative Fund Canada and Irving Gerstein and reads:
Between January 23rd, 2006 and December 18th, 2006, in the City of Ottawa, in the Province of Ontario, did provide the Chief Electoral Officer with a return on the general election expenses of the Conservative Party of Canada, in relation to the 39th federal general election, that they knew or ought reasonably to have known contained a materially false or misleading statement, namely that all election expenses in respect of the 39th federal general election had been properly recorded, contrary to Section 431(a) of the Canada Elections Act and did thereby commit an offence punishable on summary conviction contrary to Sections 497(3)(m)(ii) and 500(5)(a) of the said Act.
I want to point out that the party being named in these charges is the same party that claimed, in 2006, that it wanted to amend the Canada Elections Act in order to improve the integrity of the electoral process and instill complete confidence in the Canadian public. That is not what I call leading by example.
The fourth charge is against the Conservative Party of Canada:
Between January 23rd, 2006 and December 18th, 2006, in the City of Ottawa, in the Province of Ontario, being a registered party whose chief agent, the Conservative Fund Canada, did provide the Chief Electoral Officer with a return on its general election expenses, in relation to the 39th federal general election, that the Conservative Fund Canada knew or ought reasonably to have known contained a materially false or misleading statement, namely that all election expenses in respect of the 39th federal general election had been properly recorded, contrary to sections 431(a) and 497(3)(m)(ii) of the Canada Elections Act is guilty of an offence punishable on summary conviction contrary to section 507 of the said Act.
How can the Prime Minister claim that this is a difference of opinion? These charges clearly indicate that it is a question of bogus invoices, misleading statements made to Elections Canada and deliberate overspending. These offences could result in a $5,000 fine, five years in prison, or both.
This in and out scheme shows the Conservatives for what they truly are. They can talk all they like about an administrative dispute between their party and Elections Canada, but the Federal Court of Appeal unanimously sided with Elections Canada, which alleges that the Conservative Party deliberately spent more than the national campaign limit by having 67 candidates pay some of the party's advertising costs, to the tune of $1.3 million.
This is how the Conservative scheme worked. After the Conservative Party reached its $18.3 million spending limit, it decided to transfer $1.3 million to 67 ridings that had not reached their $80,000 limit. The ridings returned the same amount, claiming that the money had been used for local ads. The ads, however, were exactly the same as the national ones. The riding associations had no control over these transfers.
The Parliamentary Secretary to the Prime Minister can try to dismiss the facts and maintain that the matter is an administrative dispute, but it will be hard to fight the charges when so many candidates are now coming forward to tell their stories.
Inky Mark, who resigned his Manitoba seat last year, said that his staff was contacted by party officials during the 2006 election campaign. He said that Conservative Party officials asked if they could deposit several thousand dollars into his campaign account and withdraw it later to buy advertising. It did not make sense to him, so he refused.
Mark's former campaign manager said she recalls being asked to receive money and then have the funds withdrawn quickly afterward. She remembers the issue because it sounded similar to a case involving a Conservative cabinet minister from Manitoba who had to plead guilty and was convicted of electoral overspending.
Also, the independent Conservative MP for Simcoe—Grey, who was turfed from the Conservative caucus last year, said her campaign was approached and she rejected the plan.
There is also David Marler, a candidate in the Brome—Missisquoi riding in the Eastern Townships. In an interview with La Presse, he explained why he refused to sign a form in December 2006: the document would have authorized Conservative Party officials to transfer money to his account and then take it right back out again. David Marler declined the offer when an organizer was unable to explain to him the reason and purpose of this transaction. As a lawyer, he understood right away that this scheme was illegal.
The Conservative Party's behaviour during the 2005-06 election campaign, when it claimed to be the champion of public ethics, does not fall into the category of an administrative dispute but, rather, that of hypocrisy and abuse of power. The Conservative Party used a shell game to give the impression that it had complied with the national spending limit. The national organization distributed some $1.3 million to 67 candidates who were below their campaign spending limits.
The Conservatives can try to downplay what they did, but Canadians are well aware of their fraudulent tactics. The Canada Elections Act applies to all political parties. Creating a level playing field for everyone serves to promote a healthy democracy. There is no point in imposing a spending limit on political parties if they can circumvent that limit by moving money around to their local organizations.
The Prime Minister must order the immediate repayment of any and all illegally obtained electoral rebates that were paid out to candidates for the Conservative Party of Canada as a result of the in and out fraud and must remove all individuals facing charges for this fraud from any position of responsibility within government or the Conservative Party of Canada. The issue here is the integrity of the electoral process and thus of Canadian democracy.

Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague. Her speech was excellent and comprehensive. I have a question for her. Normally, when someone is innocent and is accused of something, he wants to know what he is accused of and then wonders what the problem is. But when the Conservatives were accused, they did not wonder what the problem was. The RCMP had to be sent into their offices to find the problem.
This is not about the legislation or Elections Canada. What does everything going on today tell us about the character of the Conservative Party?

Mr. Speaker, my question for the member is quite simple.
It is quite scandalous that we are spending a full day talking about why the Liberals lost the 2006 election. The reality is the Liberals lost the 2006 election because they were a corrupt government that the people turned their backs on.
The only in and out we have here is that we were brought in to clean up the mess of the Liberals who were actually thrown out of government after stealing $40 million of taxpayers money and using it to help them win elections. That is the only scandal here.
When will the Liberals focus on what Canadians want us to focus on? Canadians want us to focus on jobs, the economy, getting people back to work, the investments we have made across the country with respect to infrastructure, all of the great things the government has done to make sure the economy is moving in the right direction. Canada is recognized internationally as one of the best places in which to live, work, invest and raise a family because of the decisions made by the government and this party.
When will the Liberals stop focusing on why they lost the 2006 election and start focusing on the needs of Canadians, and in looking forward help us to build a bigger, better and stronger Canada?

Mr. Speaker, today's motion deals with electoral fraud. It deals with the issue of a moral compass, that the government has lost its moral compass. It does not have economic competency. It has lost its moral compass.
The government keeps saying that this is an administrative matter. There are no administrative jails, unless the Conservatives are preparing to build one.
Those forged invoices resulted in the headquarters of the Conservative Party being raided. Could the member explain why the Conservatives are so scared of admitting the truth and returning the ill-gotten, dirty money back to Canadians?

Mario Laframboise Argenteuil—Papineau—Mirabel, QC
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to speak on behalf of the Bloc Québécois about the motion before us. I would like to read several lines:
That, in the opinion of the House, the Conservative Party of Canada's "in and out" electoral financing scheme was an act of electoral fraud and represents an assault on the democratic principles upon which Parliament and our electoral system are based, and that, further, the House calls upon the Prime Minister...
The Bloc Québécois supports this motion. I would like to quote an article published by Agence France-Presse that was reprinted by Le Figaro on March 2, 2011. It states:
Today the Canadian electoral authority formally charged the Prime Minister's Conservative Party and two senators from the governing party with fraud for allegedly concealing cost overruns during the 2006 election. The charges, laid at a time when many observers expect a spring election to be held, revolve around a "false or misleading statement" about the budget for the campaign that brought [the Conservatives] to power, writes Elections Canada in a news release.
These charges of fraud, which were reported by Agence France-Presse and by Le Figaro on March 2, are very serious and constitute an attack on democracy. It is important that the House take a stand on the Conservative Party's fraud.
In the 2006 election campaign, when a certain opportunity presented itself to the Conservative Party and the cash was beginning to pour into its coffers, it lacked resources for its national campaign. Given that the Conservatives had a national spending limit of $18 million, they transferred national party money to the ridings, which then returned the money to the national party to run national ads.
That is clearly against the law. A riding can collect donations from people and then run a campaign. The Conservatives did the opposite, thus contravening the Canada Elections Act. It is not surprising that they were charged. What is surprising is that the Parliamentary Secretary to the Prime Minister told the House that they provided all the documents. That is false. The RCMP had to search the Conservative headquarters to obtain the evidence.
Day after day in the House of Commons, they have tried to cover up this scandal. It is becoming an international scandal given that an article in the March 2, 2011 edition of Le Figaro discussed the modus operandi of the right-wing party.
After question period, I will be sharing my time with my colleague from Châteauguay—Saint-Constant.
Getting back to the article in Le Figaro, the second paragraph states:
According to this independent [Canadian] agency, the Conservative Party deliberately exceeded election spending limits...by $1 million through an accounting scheme involving the right-wing party's local committees.
The right-wing Conservatives do not hesitate to circumvent the law and commit fraud to achieve their ends.

Mr. Speaker, Carol Williams, a resident of Coldstream in my riding of Okanagan—Shuswap, passed away on February 26 of this year.
Carol's life was one of dedication to her career as a nurse, her family and her community.
Her love of life was always evident not just by what she did for the community but also how she did it. Carol served as a Coldstream councillor and director of the Vernon winter carnival and was an active organizer and volunteer in the Vernon region.
When I met Carol she was the chair of the Okanagan Regional Library. At that time she was in her 70s. I was so impressed by her energy level and dedication to her position and those that she served. She was a great example to me.
Carol will be missed by her husband Verne, three children, four grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
Carol's smiles, hugs and service will be missed by the community she loved.

Mr. Speaker, today is the centenary of International Women's Day. What began as a struggle to achieve equality rights has become a celebration of the trail-blazing women who made our society more equal.
Today is no different. It is remarkable to see so many women pursuing non-traditional occupations, and to live in a time when young girls do not see barriers but only opportunities.
While we celebrate, let us also remember that the struggle for equality is not yet over. Over the past five years the fundamental human right to equal pay for work of equal value has been undermined. Federal support for advocacy and research into the status of women in Canada has been eliminated and the gender wage gap remains significant. The lack of access to quality, affordable early learning and child care services is a barrier to full equality.
I join my colleagues in the House in celebrating this anniversary but remain mindful of the challenges that remain.

Diane Bourgeois Terrebonne—Blainville, QC
Mr. Speaker, on March 6, we lost one of our pioneering feminists and criminologists, Marie-Andrée Bertrand.
She was the first female Quebecker—the first woman, actually—to earn a Ph.D. in criminology from the University of California's Berkeley campus. A leader of the anti-prohibition movement, she did not believe that criminal legislation was the way to fight illegal substance abuse. She believed in reconciling the confusion between harm reduction and drug prohibition policies.
Her work and research on women and criminal law and her critiques on gender, class and ethnic inequality were well written.
She fought and remained active to the end, and in 2007 she said that a retired feminist cannot easily relax and does not want to.
The Bloc Québécois pays tribute to this woman who was both ahead of her time and inspirational. We offer our deepest sympathies to her family and loved ones.

Mr. Speaker, today is the 100th anniversary of International Women's Day, a day when we celebrate the profound and divine feminine power that graces our world.
There is no way we can truly express all that we owe to the women of our communities, our country and our planet. The givers of life, powerful voices of understanding, compassion and peace, women make our society a nobler and more civilized place. To every woman in our lives we owe everything.
International Women's Day is to celebrate women but also to highlight the struggles that remain. Women want and deserve: reproductive health and choice; equal pay for work of equal value; to be free from the use, threat or fear of violence; and to be free from all barriers and forms of discrimination.
Women want and deserve equality, respect and full participation in all aspects of society.
Today we renew our commitment to work with the women and men in this House, in our communities and throughout the world to pursue and achieve true equality for all women.

The Ainsworth mill in 100 Mile House has completed a major project to enhance the mill's ability to process trees infected by pine beetles and has returned to profitability.
On February 28, it was reported that Canfor plans to reopen its Vavenby sawmill operations, while at the Kamloops Domtar mill, significant environmental upgrades have been made .
There have been 24 sawmills reopened in B.C. in the last 24 months. Along with new international trade deals and support from Canada's economic action plan, the forestry industry is solidly rebounding.
International Women's Day
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Lise Zarac LaSalle—Émard, QC
Mr. Speaker, today, March 8, marks the 100th anniversary of International Women's Day. It is only fitting that we should take a moment to think of the many pioneers who paved the way for this important annual celebration.
At the beginning of the 20th century, women began to rise up, demanding better working conditions and the right to vote. This social action undertaken by these courageous women is still paying off today in 2011.
Unfortunately, the reality here in Canada is quite sad. The Conservative government is not only ignoring the interests of Canadian women, but it has systematically and deliberately made choices that have reversed at least a decade of progress in terms of gender equality.
Furthermore, this government axed the Kelowna accord, which would have provided much-needed health and education funding for aboriginal women. It treats aboriginal women like second-class citizens, first by cutting the generous social programs that were included in the Kelowna accord, and then by refusing to launch a thorough investigation into the disappearance of young aboriginal women.
Unlike the Conservative Party, our party is convinced that Canada's federal government—

The Ferris Collection of Prints
The Museum's Graphic Arts Collection, the oldest print-collecting unit in the Smithsonian, focuses on the technical and social history of printmaking to document how prints are made and used. Smithsonian art museums collect works on paper selected for aesthetic reasons, but the National Museum of American History (formerly the Museum of History and Technology) takes a broad view of visual culture.
Our prints illustrate technical developments and cultural changes. They represent all kinds of graphic works that have influenced American society. The collection has always included examples from many periods and countries, fine-art prints as well as popular and commercial graphic art, together with the plates, blocks, and tools used to produce prints. In 1996 the Museum presented an exhibition on 150 years of Smithsonian print collecting, Building a National Collection.
One of the largest print collections ever received by the Smithsonian was donated by the Ferris family between 1927 and 1932. Stephen James Ferris (1835–1915), a Philadelphia painter and etcher, collected over 2,000 European and American prints, both reproductive and original, representing old master and contemporary printmakers. The collection incorporated a variety of artistic subjects, compositions, and styles. Ferris may well have mined it for inspiration for his own work, but he was also deeply interested in art for its own sake. He and his family and friends would have simply enjoyed studying the images.

Portrait of a Mexican Girl
- Description
- In 1881 Stephen Ferris and his son, Gerome, sailed to Spain aboard the S. S.Washington to visit places associated with Spanish painter Mariano Fortuny. During the journey, Stephen Ferris, a portrait artist by profession, claimed he had sketched everyone on board. Although many of these drawings had been pronounced "excellent," he discarded all but this one in pencil of Srta. Delores Arrojo de Mexico, "a Mexican Indian girl, a real picturesque subject which I intend to paint sometime with fruit and flowers and a good size in oil then etch it." We do not know whether Ferris ever etched or painted her.

So, when folks consult "experts" in American politics, political scientists and historians tend to be the go-to specialists. What can a rhetorician bring to the table? A little background on me might shed some light.
I am currently Associate Professor of Communication Studies, and Chair of the Fine and Performing Arts Division of Augustana College in Rock Island, Illinois. As a member of the Communication Studies Department faculty, I teach courses in political communication, rhetorical theory and criticism, media studies, and communication research. Two of the current staples of my teaching responsibilities are courses entitled "Communication, Politics, and Citizenship" (an introduction to political communication and rhetorical studies), and "Critical Analysis of Messages" (a course in the rhetorical criticism of public address, which I teach in a Learning Community with Chris Whitt on "The American Presidency in Times of Crisis").

Zoom Ultravibe Speed Worm 15pk

More From Zoom Worms
Customer Reviews
Comments: Not sure why, but on certain bodies of water, this things kills. Then again, I have been to other places where the fish wouldn't touch it. Weird. I always have these in the boat though...they catch decent sized fish. Like the kind you weigh in and get you paid.
From: Jay6: USA 10/9/14
Comments: This is a great worm! i have caught several bass on it. My favorite color is California 420. I rig this on 12 lb mono with a 1/4 oz bullet weight and a 4/0 EWG hook. I do have one problem that is: the tails do rip easily, its just the way the tail is cut. But other than that it is a good worm and i recommend that you try it. Buy more than 1 pack, you will run out.
From: Colin: MA 8/23/14
Comments: This worm helped me catch the biggest bass I have ever caught. I was fishing with the watermelon one and got hits 3 out of 4 casts. Then later I switched to the blue sapphire and I caught my personal best.
From: Terrel Peterman, AL 3/23/13
Comments: Totally awesome bait! Rigged it wacky last April and caught 22" bass in a reservoir. Rigged it Texas style, both weightless and with screw in bullet sinker, and fished it in a shallow grass filled lake at various speeds. Caught two more 22" bass and many smaller. I use green pumpkin in low light and watermelon red in bright light. Anxious to use it on different waters this coming season.
From: Dave: Virginia Beach, VA
Comments: Totally versatile worm. You cant fish it wrong, bro. Red Shad/Green is always out of stock for a reason!
From: Meatwad: Lovin my haters
Comments: pretty dope worm. pick a pack of your fav color and get to chuckin. probably dang near impossible to fish this one wrong.
From: MISHAP: one up, three over
Comments: I had a tournament this past weekend, on John's lake and i won second place using this worm in watermelon red catching a 4 pound bass. This is my favorite bait out on the market!
From: Kyle: Leesburg, FL
Comments: I think this is the most underappreciated bait on the market today. After fishing many lakes in different states and in virtually every condition this worm has proved itself time and time again. I'd even go as far as saying that its the best dang worm out there. It has an action the big bass simply can't resist. At night try rigging it with a tungsten and 2 glass beads, simply slow roll it along the bottom making sure you hit the bottom and HOLD ON! They hammer it. This worm is also a great swim jg trailer
From: Taylor: Nashville, TN
Comments: best bait ever!!!!! caught 2 1 pounders and 2 3 pounders and a half a.... and a four!!!!!
From: Jace: Newnan, GA
Comments: This is a BIG bass bait! I have caught 4 bass so far since I bought these: 6 lbs, 5 1/2 lbs, 5 lbs, and 3 lbs. I burn it fast over lily pads and bass annihilate these baits! If you haven't fished one yet you need to, especially during the summer months. Add this one to the list of Zoom baits that work!
From: Craig: Land o Lakes, FL
Comments: Another winner from Zoom. Here in my local Florida (Central) ponds and lakes, I usually have the best success with the Watermelon colors - E.g. Wat Red, Wat Candy Red, and Wat Gold. They work, and I fish them a variety of ways - E.g. Wacky, Light Texas Rig, etc... I'll often switch from Brush Hogs to these if they aren't hitting the brush hogs (Reg or Baby Brush Hogs). Can't go wrong with a few bags of these in your kit. There are some days when these are all the bass will bite.
From: Shawn: Tampa, FL
Comments: this bait is awsome! its very versatile and has something tht the fish love. this bait i fished all day in a tournament and caught me fish all day so this is in my tackle box 24/7!
From: Jacob: Lakeland, FL
Comments: However you fish it, it'll catch bass !! Burn it weightless on the surface or use it texas rigged or wacky... It doesen't matter... It works !
From: Fab: France
Comments: This worm has caught me 100's of bass.
From: James: Orange Park, FL

Religion 101: Religion, Theism, and Faith
What is religion? What are some varieties of religions? What is theism, and what are some of the varieties of that? Atheists aren't theists, but they can be religious - understanding what theism and religion are is key to understanding why that is true.
Semantics isn't exactly a glorious pursuit, but it does have its uses and certainly also its value. Presented here is a resource I've not been able to find anywhere else on the internet: a comprehensive but easy to understand look at the many different types of theism and spiritual belief which lie behind human religions.
Defining Religion
Religion is very difficult to define - it seems that everyone has a different idea of what it is. Most people will simply look in the dictionary or use something else equally simplistic. Although that might be fine for everyday conversations, it isn't sufficient for the sort of discussions that appear on this site. Religion is a human creation, and as such can vary as widely as human imagination allows.
Religion: The Problem of Definition
Types of Definitions
Definitions in Reference Works
Types of Religion
Defining religion must take into account the fact that there are several different types of religion in the world. They are all similar enough to come together in the category called religion, but they are also different enough that exploring these sub-categories is helpful in understanding religious beliefs and religious phenomena. Types of religions covered here include: Nature Religions, Tribal Religions, Salvation Religions, Prophetic Religions, Revealed Religions, Mystical Religions, and Sacramental Religions.
Nature Religions
Revealed Religions
Salvation Religions
Philosophy of Religion
Sometimes confused with theology, the Philosophy of Religion is the philosophical study of religious beliefs, religious doctrines, religious arguments and religious history. The line between theology and the philosophy of religion isn't always sharp because they share so much in common, but the primary difference is that theology tends to be apologetical in nature, committed to the defense of particular religious positions, whereas Philosophy of Religion is committed to the investigation of religion itself, rather than the truth of any particular religion.
What is the Philosophy of Religion?
What is God?
Religion Around the World
Topics in the Philosophy of Religion
One of the more entertaining aspects of the philosophy of religion is to examine how religion influences modern culture and how culture in turn influences religion. Religion in film, religion in books, economic analyses of religion - these are all a part of religious philosophy.

Why Does Religion Exist?
Types of Belief Systems
Religion is a belief system, but not all belief systems are religions. Understanding the difference between religious and similar, but non-religious belief systems will help you to better grasp just what a religion is and why. What's the difference between religion and philosophy? Is spirituality a type of religious belief? Is there a distinction between religion and theism or between religion and superstition?
Religion vs. Superstition
Religion vs. The Paranormal
Religion vs. Theism
Varieties of Theism
Understanding atheism requires some understanding of theism. Learning about what types of theism exist, how people define their gods, and why people become theists will enable you to get a better grasp of how and why people can become atheists. There may not be any one path to atheism which all atheists follow, just as there is no one path to theism which all theists follow; nevertheless, there are enough commonalities to justify discussion and study.

Varieties of Theism
Is Theism Irrational?
Religion, Ritual, and Holidays
Holidays are seasonal rituals which can serve to regulate and structure life. Rituals can be important because they are often important means of social communication. We cannot, after all, observe relationships - what we observe is people's behavior towards one another. Very often, that behavior takes place in the context of "ritual" acts - behaviors which may not have obvious functional utility but which do nevertheless reinforce the ways people relate to one another.
What Are Holidays?
Groundhog's Day
Organization of Religion
There are a number of different ways in which religion can be organized or structured. Different types of religious systems generally rely upon different organizational structures - as a matter of fact, particular types of organizations can reveal quite a lot about the basic values and beliefs that a religion has.
Sects vs. Churches
