Government Orders
1:50 p.m.
Niki Ashton Churchill, MB
Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for his hard work and the issues he raised in his question.
Obviously, the messages the government is sending have nothing to do with the reality of Canada's pension system. Many experts have stated publicly that the public pension system and the supplement are very solid, that they are sustainable and that young Canadians can depend on them for their retirement down the road.
Instead of listening to those experts, the government is trying to feed us its own line, which is not based on evidence or research. That is a fundamentally flawed way to govern in general and certainly for the future of our country.
Government Orders
1:55 p.m.
Ted Menzies Minister of State (Finance)
Mr. Speaker, the one thing I found quite surprising in the speech of my colleague was her suggestion that we should increase the guaranteed income supplement to seniors. This is rather troubling because when we did make the largest increase in two decades to the guaranteed income supplement, she, and all of her party, voted against that.
Has she now changed her mind?
Government Orders
1:55 p.m.
Niki Ashton Churchill, MB
Mr. Speaker, if the member across had heard in more detail what I said, the point was about lifting every senior out of poverty. That is exactly what the government did not do. In fact, it continues to not do that every day.
We hear the government's fury and feigned indignation. I would like to see that same kind of energy put toward the ultimate goal of ensuring that seniors live in dignity, that young people, who are looking ahead to a pretty insecure situation when it comes to retirement down the line, are part of the solution and that it seek to eradicate poverty among seniors and all Canadians and truly establish a strong foundation for all Canadians' retirement.
Government Orders
1:55 p.m.
Kevin Lamoureux Winnipeg North, MB
Mr. Speaker, I have indicated in the past that the Liberal Party has acknowledged as a foundation of our pension programs, CPP, OAS, GIS, the guaranteed income supplement, and we believe in those programs. We believe they need to be enhanced and protected.
We consider this pool plan to be a very small tool that will assist some Canadians as a complement to their pension programs. I understand even NDP administrations in provincial governments have recognized the value of this as being a small tool. Why would the NDP oppose a small tool that would at least help some to supplement their pensions?
Government Orders
1:55 p.m.
Niki Ashton Churchill, MB
Mr. Speaker, I would ask the member to listen to the speech I put forward and the various points that our caucus, our team have put forward in the House and ultimately join us in asking the government to stand and present an act on a real retirement security action plan, one that will actually make a difference in the lives of all seniors, that will lift all seniors out of poverty and that will ensure the next generations of Canadian pensioners will have real pensions to look forward to.
Recreational Boating Industry
Statements by Members
1:55 p.m.
Mike Wallace Burlington, ON
Mr. Speaker, I am happy to stand today to welcome members of the National Marine Manufacturers Association who are in Ottawa today meeting with parliamentarians on the Hill.
NMMA Canada is the nation's leading trade association representing boat, marine engine and accessory manufacturers. Collectively, NMMA members manufacture an estimated 80% of the marine products used in North America.
NMMA is a unifying force and a powerful voice for the recreational boating industry, working to strengthen and grow boating in many regions and ridings across Canada.
The recreational boating industry's economic impact is nearly $15 billion, generated through creating local jobs and enabling small businesses in regions across the country.
I ask all parliamentarians to join me in recognizing the association's important contribution to the economic growth and tourism in Canada. I would also like to remind members of the reception being held later today at 5:30 p.m. in room 256-S in the Centre Block.
Aboriginal Affairs
Statements by Members
2 p.m.
Romeo Saganash Abitibi—Baie-James—Nunavik—Eeyou, QC
Mr. Speaker, Canada has had many shining moments, but we have also had our dark chapters. Later, governments apologized and took responsibility for them. An example is the residential schools apology.
Despite that apology, there are still survivors that have yet to have their cases addressed. This includes the experimental Eskimos. In the 1960s, seven Inuit children were removed from their homes and sent to live with families in Ottawa. The government wanted to see if Inuit children could succeed in a formal education system. They were removed from their families, communities and their culture, just as we residential school survivors were.
When they came to make their claims under the residential school settlement, they were told that their experience was not within the criteria for claims. They were forced to turn to the courts, where they have been for four years. The government has fought them at every turn, denying them an apology and compensation that they are due.
I call upon the government to stop its obstruction and give these survivors their basic dignity.

Patrick Brown Barrie, ON
Mr. Speaker, back in 1953 when Barrie resident Albert Stein was 15 years old, he suffered a terrible spinal injury after diving off a boat into shallow water. With no feeling from the neck down, young Albert was told he would be a quadriplegic for the rest of his life.
Albert worked tirelessly in rehab and started to regain mobility in his arms. He began to take steps with the help of crutches and then he began to walk short distances with leg braces. There was no slowing down Albert.
Albert has served for six years on Barrie's accessibility committee and now sits on the accessibility committees for the county of Simcoe, the Simcoe Country District School Board, the Royal Victoria Hospital and the March of Dimes. He is also the board of director for the Independent Living Services for Simcoe Muskoka as well as chairman of the Simcoe County Accessibility Network.
Earlier this month, I was incredibly honoured to announce to my riding of Barrie that Albert Stein was the recipient of the prestigious 2011 Robert Kerr Accessibility Award for his tireless volunteer work promoting better accessibility for disabled persons everywhere.
Conference Board of Canada President
Statements by Members
2 p.m.
Judy Sgro York West, ON
Mr. Speaker, next month, after 12 years on the job, Dr. Anne Golden will leave her post as president and CEO of the Conference Board of Canada.
This, combined with her 14 years as president of Toronto's United Way, her past roles as special advisor to the provincial leader of the opposition and as research coordinator for the Bureau of Municipal Research, has solidified her reputation as a truly great Canadian.
Anne's work on files such as homelessness and the cities agenda have made a real difference in Canada, something that has been recognized with an appointment to the Order of Canada, eight honorary doctorates, the Jane Jacobs Lifetime of Achievement Award, the Urban Leadership Award for City Engagement and the WXN's Most Power Women citation.
Together, these honours say one important thing. I thank her for years of dedication to Canada. I wish her the best in the years ahead.

Denise Savoie Victoria, BC
Mr. Speaker, on Sunday, Victorians celebrated as our own Ryder Hesjedal took the lead during a nail-biting final stage of the Giro d'Italia and won. It is the first Grand Tour victory for a Canadian athlete.
Hesjedal knows the importance of hard work and determination. For years, he trained on the wealth of cycling routes in the Victoria area that make it one of the best places in the world to live, work and ride, with the highest per capita modal share of bike commuters in the country.
Ryder has contributed tremendously to our community and has lent his name and his efforts to the Ryder Hesjedal tour de Victoria, encouraging people of all fitness levels to get active by participating in a non-competitive cycling event. The thousands of us who participated two years ago were excited to see Ryder lead the ride.
This is Bike to Work Week. I congratulate Ryder on behalf of all Victorians. We rejoice with him and his family.
Calgary Homeless Foundation
Statements by Members
2 p.m.
Lee Richardson Calgary Centre, AB
Mr. Speaker, in 2008, the Calgary Homeless Foundation set out to end homelessness in Calgary within 10 years. It is year three, and the organization is well on its way to achieving its goal. The assistance to the homeless of Calgary has resulted in a reduction of 40% in the use of the public social system in Calgary, emergency room visits by the homeless have decreased by 50% and interactions with police are down by 60%.
Of the individuals who are housed by the Calgary Homeless Foundation, 92% have retained their residence. The Calgary Homeless Foundation has increased its housing units to 323, with over 100 more under construction.
The Calgary Homeless Foundation has also launched a housing plan to end youth homelessness, aboriginal housing programs and programs that track homelessness, and it has actively engaged the private sector for funding and leverage. These programs, the success of social organizations in co-operating, and funding from private and public sectors have helped 11 other Canadian cities come forward with their own plans to end homelessness.
I would like to congratulate the staff and volunteers of the Calgary Homeless Foundation for their dedication and commitment to end homelessness.
Cable Hall of Fame
Statements by Members
2:05 p.m.
Larry Miller Bruce—Grey—Owen Sound, ON
Mr. Speaker, today I stand to recognize yet another honour in a long list of accomplishments for a proud Canadian. Mr. Mr. Phil Lind, vice-chairman of Rogers Communications, was inducted into the Cable Hall of Fame on May 21. He joins his friend and mentor Mr. Ted Rogers and Mr. J.R. Shaw as the only Canadians in the Cable Hall of Fame.
Mr. Lind was recognized for his key role in the growth and expansion of one of Canada's cable, broadcasting and telecommunications giants. His vision, foresight and determination were key to Rogers becoming a truly great Canadian success story.
On October 18, 2001, Mr. Lind was awarded the Order of Canada for his work in championing the development of multilingual, multicultural and specialty programming, such as community channels and CPAC. He has dedicated his life to many public causes that have all led to the betterment of Canada.
On behalf of this House, I salute, congratulate and thank Mr. Phil Lind, a truly great Canadian.
St. John's Rehabilitation Hospital
Statements by Members
May 29th, 2012 / 2:05 p.m.
Chungsen Leung Willowdale, ON
Mr. Speaker, on May 22, 2012, I had the honour of attending the 75th anniversary of the St. John's Rehabilitation Hospital in my riding of Willowdale.
For more than 75 years, St. John's Rehabilitation Hospital has offered rehabilitation programs for people recovering from amputations, traumatic injuries, burns, cardiovascular surgery, strokes, transplants, cancer and complex neurological and orthopedic conditions. The specialized treatment that is offered is possible because of the great staff at St. John's.
St. John's has expanded from 64 to 160 beds and cares for about 2,700 in-patients annually, when it once only accommodated 716. This is truly indicative of the continuing service this facility proudly provides to the community.
The spiritual care that is offered by the Sisters of St. John the Divine is exceptional and has proven to be effective in the healing of patients. Their vision of health care service is shared by the commitment of our government to a publicly funded, universally accessible health care system.
I am proud to represent the community that is home to this extraordinary facility. I wish it a very happy 75th anniversary and continued success for another 75 years.
Statements by Members
2:05 p.m.
David Christopherson Hamilton Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, next Thursday in my riding of Hamilton Centre, the Hamilton Roundtable for Poverty Reduction, the Hamilton Legal Clinic, and the McMaster Poverty Initiative will be co-sponsoring an event entitled Claiming and Enforcing the Right to an Adequate Standard of Living.
Born from a sense of frustration with the continued cuts to services by both federal and provincial governments and of frustration with the diminishing ability of social programs to keep our most marginalized citizens from falling further into poverty, the event will also discuss the Conservative government's increasing trend of refusing to live up to its obligations under international agreements.
This special evening will include a talk from international law and human rights expert Bruce Porter from the Social Rights and Advocacy Centre, as well as a panel that will include economist and McMaster University professor Dr. Atif Kubursi and poverty round table member Laura Cattari.
I congratulate these groups, wish them a successful event, and thank them for their continued compassion and unrelenting efforts to eradicate the scourge of poverty in our community and in our country.
Jan de Vries
Statements by Members
2:05 p.m.
Corneliu Chisu Pickering—Scarborough East, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise today in memory of a great Canadian from my riding of Pickering—Scarborough East who passed away this past weekend. A veteran of the Second World War, Mr. Jan de Vries, an Order of Canada recipient, served with the 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion. He parachuted into Normandy on D-Day and later parachuted over the Rhine River into Germany in 1945.
As a founding member of the Living History Speakers Bureau and as a member of the Memory Project, he has kept alive the stories of Canadian veterans by visiting schools, youth groups and cadet units.
The 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion Association, the Juno Beach Centre Association and the Corporal Fred Topham Victoria Cross Fundraising campaign have all benefited from his determination and leadership. Under his leadership, the 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion Association installed memorial plaques in Europe to commemorate their battle areas.
In June 2004, Mr. de Vries was presented with the French Legion of Honour medal by President Jacques Chirac.
He was a distinguished soldier and an ardent keeper of the flame. Lest we forget.

By CAMRON WINN
Larry and Jolene Winn of Ferron have owned and managed the Grub Box Drive Inn for more than 18 years. The couple migrated to Emery County in the spring of 1984. Without jobs the couple took a leap of faith by buying the Grub Box Drive-In. Neither one of them knew exactly what it took to run a business, or cook fast food. The family of four spent long days nights mastering the technique of shaking shakes and flipping burgers. But when it came down to it, Jolene was the person with the knack. Jolene's good personality, leadership skills, multitasking nature and superb cooking made the Grub Box a success. Before long Larry pursued his employment elsewhere while Jolene continued to rake in the customers. There was a time when the Grub Box was famous for its homemade bread and pizza. The newest creation and success is the "Fat Boy Cheeseburger" it's a half a pound of meat and sure to satisfy the hungriest people.
Behind the food, is the Grub Box's greatest attribute, Jolene. She always put a smile on the customers face as she greeted them. The late Gladys Bernsen would put on her black fur coat and handkerchief to walk two blocks morning, afternoon and evening just to visit and eat a "foot long" at the Grub Box. The Grub Box was a not just a diner to Gladys, it was home. The late pharmacist Darryl Peterson would walk from the Ferron Merc and Drug every day to have a chicken dinner and visit Jolene. Mervin and Ruth Duncan drive at least once a day from Molen to have a treat while visiting Jolene. The list could go on and on. Friends gather early in the afternoon to late in the evening. Through the Grub Box Jolene has been able to touch many lives and made many friends.
With the New Year comes change. The Grub Box establishment is changing ownership. Julie Robinson will be the new owner and manager starting Jan. 1.
Robinson started working at the Grub Box two months after Winn bought the business. Her qualifications and experience rank high. Without a doubt the Grub Box will continue to serve the people of Ferron with laughter, tears and food.
However Winn will never be replaced. Her legacy of friendliness and fabulous food will be greatly missed.

She also talks about being "a bit of a kissing slut."
Ke$ha is known for her party-girl image, but the singer says she has to eat healthfully and work out just like the rest of us.
"People think I sit around and drink whiskey all day, but I couldn't keep up on a three-month tour if I were getting hammered every night," she tells the July issue of Self magazine (it hits newsstands on June 25). "My show is very energetic — I dance and sing at the same time and run around. Training for a tour is like training for a marathon. When I'm eating healthy and working out, it helps me stay sane and exude confidence."
More tidbits from the article:
On sleep: "It's a luxury. I usually try to get a good six hours, from 3 a.m. to 9 a.m. When I can't sleep, I bedazzle my clothes and watch The Golden Girls. I have a bit of Blanche in me."
On dealing with the haters: "The most important thing I've done is learn to laugh at myself, and I try to do that with any negativity coming at me, too. It's hilarious how mean some people get about my silly pop songs."
On using the condoms with her face on the wrapper that she distributes at her concerts: "Yeah. I think every girl should invest in a condom with her face on it — it's super awkward and hilarious. But people think because I hand out condoms, I must be some sort of ho. That's not the case. I'm a little bit of a kissing slut, but usually I just make out and then run away."
Her workout routine: "I like to mix it up because I get bored easily. I bike, I swim and I love yoga. I also love rock climbing, which I've done since I was 16. It's meditative and great for toning your arms and back. I love to run, too. On tour, I usually get offstage around 11 p.m. with the most intense adrenaline rush, so I put my hood on — nobody ever recognizes me — hit the streets and run until I get exhausted. It's nice to get to actually experience the world and exercise at the same time."
On listening to music: "No, I like to be in nature. I've heard my music is great to work out to, but it would be douche-y if I did that. But I really love that people like to exercise to my music. I want it to bring out the wildness in everyone, and if that encourages you to be a fighter and get fit, that's great."
On her workout clothes: "If I'm running, I'm usually in David Bowie-inspired spandex pants with lightning bolts and a vintage Harley tee. And I love Lululemon sports bras, because I have big boobs, so I have to strap those babies down when I run."
On her diet: "Eighty percent of the time I watch my portions and eat veggies and lean protein. It's excruciatingly boring, but it makes my body happy. The other 20 percent of the time, I do whatever I want. It's OK to sometimes eat an (expletive) ton of chocolate!"

Comments about Wilton Chocolate Pro 3-Tier Chocolate Fountain:
I have been wanting a nice cake decorating set, so ordered this when I had a coupon. It is a great starter set and has everything I think I will ever need. My only complaint is I should have read the description more closely because part of the 53 piece set is 2 dozen disposable bags--I would rather have had a few reusable ones instead. I also would not really consider the storage tray as an item since it is just the flimsy plastic it came on, and will probably not hold up well over time.

"These slip-on sneakers are a brilliant choice for a shoe that's both big on style & comfort. Quality is great, as you would expect from Sam Edelman; like a higher-end version of Vans with the suede upper & metal studs - They're edgy, fun & definitely on trend. Foot-bed is cushy & comfy, perfect for all-day-to-all-night wear (particularly fab for when you're traveling and have to pack light.) Would recommend sizing down at least a half-size, as they run large (I'm normally a 7 and the 6 1/2 fits like a glove.) Essential wardrobe purchase, esp. at the DSW price."

Twice a year the artisans and merchants of "fancy" foods gather in New York and San Francisco for the Summer and Winter Fancy Food Shows, sponsored by the NASFT—National Association for the Specialty Food Trade. Some 45,000 buyers walk aisle after aisle after aisle perusing, sniffing, nibbling and evaluating a mind-boggling 250,000 products from all around the world, including gourmet chocolates, handmade chocolate, chocolate truffles and fine chocolate.
Just prior to the start of the Fancy Food Show, our own talented group of artisans gathers for our semi-annual meeting of the FCIA—Fine Chocolate Industry Association. It's a fun and fascinating group that includes professionals from all around the country involved in chocolate from blossom to bean to bonbon and bar: growers/producers, chocolatiers, chocolate makers, pastry chefs, chocolate manufacturers, marketers, writers, educators and specialty retailers.
The winter confluence of these groups took place January 16th-19th in San Francisco, so I grabbed my umbrella, trench coat and Wellies (have you seen our California weather lately?) and hit the road (or the airport and train station anyway).
Our FCIA program this year included a new feature called the Gallery Showcase in which members were given a small presentation space to "showcase" some of their latest and greatest or soon-to-be-released products. This was the first time that our fun and flavorful new Easter Chicks made their public debut. Chicks officially "hatch" on March 1st; they make wonderful chocolate gifts. Chicks make an excellent companion chocolate to our 24-karat gold Spring assortments.
The aww-factor was pretty high as my fellow association members considered the amount of painstaking detail involved in creating these hand-made chocolates. Each Chick is carefully hand-painted (eyes, beak, face/body, shell top and bottom), then cast in Private Reserve Premium Dark Chocolate (64% cacao), creamy Prestige Milk Chocolate (32%) or Snowy White Chocolate (33%), and filled with layers of flavors including Bumble Berry, Cherries Jubilee, Orange Orchard, Sticky Almond and Sweet Sesame Seed Crunch, among others.
The educational portion of the evening focused on an informative—and surprisingly entertaining—panel discussion focusing on the mystery, myths and facts around the health benefits of chocolate. An impressive panel of scientists and experts were assembled to explore the topic. They included: David Stuart, Director Natural Product Sciences for The Hershey Company; Catherine Kwik-Uribe, PhD Research Scientist for Mars; Joan Steuer, President of Chocolate Marketing and Founding Editor of Chocolatier (now Dessert Professional); and Clay Gordon, Founder of The Chocolate Life (online community).
The scientists presented data from research studies suggesting that chocolate does in fact yield beneficial effects from consumption including improvement in blood flow within 20 minutes of consumption and a reduction in blood pressure with daily consumption of small amounts (more studies are underway to further validate these findings). Clay discussed the benefits associated with cocoa and chocolate's exceedingly high ORAC values (Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity, one of the primary methods for measuring and comparing antioxidant properties in foods), and Joan Steuer reminded us all that even if chocolate is ultimately determined to be a "health food" by any scientific standard, we should all remember the primary reason to consume is for the pure pleasure of the chocolate-eating experience.
The following day I put on my walking shoes and traversed over 180,000 square feet of exhibits at Moscone Center. I must admit to being a little myopic, focusing on the wonderful world of gourmet chocolate and our wonderful supporting vendors (packaging and specialty ingredients), but I did "slow my roll" a bit around the dozens of cheese booths (hey, I grew up in Wisconsin and now live in California… there's whey in my blood) I encountered, not to mention artisan sausages and charcuterie producers. Of course, the What's New/What's Hot section is not to be missed, either. Lots of "green" offerings this year, and gluten-free was all the rage… none quite as good our gluten-free PurePower Peanut Bars.
Every style of specialty food is represented in a demonstration of America's seemingly unlimited entrepreneurial spirit that drives artisans of every style to "take the plunge" and bring their craft to market. It's only too bad that they don't add a day for the public, allowing the vast community of foodies to come through to "try and buy." It would definitely be a finger-lickin' win/win for all concerned!

Medicare's Ambulatory Surgical Center Quality Reporting Program
In the final CY 2012 payment rule for the Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment System (HOPPS) and Ambulatory Surgical Centers (ASCs), the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) finalized its first pay-for-reporting quality program for ASCs, with reporting beginning October 1, 2012. see more>>

Glitches in Medicare Programming for New NMP22 Code for 2012
In January, the American Urological Association (AUA) applauded the New Jersey legislature for approving an act that opposes the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) draft recommendations on the use of the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test.
The act (AJR89/SJR77) asks "the Congress of the United States to seek the withdrawal of the United States Preventative Services Task Force recommendation against prostate-specific antigen-based screening for prostate cancer for men in all age groups." The resolution was passed unanimously by both the Assembly (74-0) and the Senate (36-0) and signed by Governor Chris J. Christie (R). It was sponsored in the Assembly by late Republican Leader Alex DeCroce (R-26) and Joan M. Quigley (D-32) and in the Senate by Democratic Majority Leader Loretta Weinberg (D-37), Joseph F. Vitale (D-19) and Fred H. Madden (D-4).
The AUA also expressed its sincere appreciation to David L. Taylor, MD, Chairman of the Board of the New Jersey Patient Care and Access Coalition (NJPCAC) and President of Garden State Urology in Morristown, NJ, for working with the New Jersey Legislature to pass this important legislation.

Meaningful Use Measures: Monthly Discussion
Now that Stage 2 of Meaningful Use (MU) has been officially deferred, it seems appropriate to review the Stage 1 measures that more and more urology practices will endeavor to report in order to earn their share of the Medicare Electronic Health Records (EHR) Incentive program, referred to as "Meaningful Use." Each month, we will dissect the requirements of a few of the measures.

The Shoreline Community College Basketball Teams
are heading in opposite directions as the season reaches the mid-point of the
NWAACC Northern Region schedule. The men's team is on the upswing, but the Lady
Dolphins find it hard to get traction.
The SCC men's team is 11-8 overall and 5-3 in
the Northern Region. They have won 3 out of 4 games and just beat the NWAACC's
#1 ranked team, Bellevue College, to end the first half of the region schedule.
The SCC women's team is 8-9, the losers of their past 3 games and are 2-6 in
the region.
The men's squad, led by 2nd year head coach,
Greg Turcott, is tied for 4th in the Northern Region with North Seattle
Community College (the top four teams in the region make the NWAACC Basketball
Championship at the end of the season). The Dolphins have 3 of the 4 toughest
games left on the schedule at home, including a showdown with North Seattle on
"Homecoming" night in the SCC Gym, on February 8th. North Seattle defeated SCC
at NSCC 111 to 99 back on January 11.
SCC faces Skagit Valley College on Wednesday
night at 7:30 PM in the SCC Gym to open the second half of the region schedule
and Dolphins defeated SVC on January 4th in Mt. Vernon, WA 114 to 105.
The SCC Women's Team faces the region's #1 team,
Skagit Valley College on Wednesday night in the SCC Gym at 5:30 PM, the
Cardinals come into the game with a 8-0 record in the region and 13-5 overall
record. The Lady Dolphins dropped 94-63 game to SVC to start the region
The SCC men's team is averaging 104 points per
game, running the famed "System" that Loyola Marymount University ran in the
late 1980's early 1990's. The team has LMU legend, Bo Kimble, who led the NCAA
in scoring in 1990, as an assistant coach this season to help implement the
"System" which consists of a full court press on defense with a fast offense of
shooting quickly every time down the court.
The SCC men are led by sophomore Avery Scharer
who is scoring 18.18 points per game, 10th best in the NWAACC while he is
leading the NWAACC in assists, with a 10.00 average per game. SCC has 5 other
players scoring in double figures led by freshman Will Acromite, 16.47 ppg,
sophomore Joe Bodman, 14.50 points per game, while leading the NWAACC in
rebounding, with a 11.44 average per game, Earlie Dixon, 12.50 ppg, Rueben
Donaldson, 10.35 ppg and Jordan Lupfer, 10.11 finish off the double digit
Under 2nd year Coach James Johnson,
the Lady Dolphins have improved this season, already passing last year's win
total by one game with 8 games to go, but points still have been an issue this
year for the SCC squad. The women's team is only scoring 56.41 points per game,
while shooting only 32% from the floor.
The Lady Dolphins got off to a good start,
having a 6-3 record going into region play, but has found the tough NWAACC
Northern Region a hard nut to crack, only defeating winless Olympic College and
Edmonds Community College in region play so far.
SCC is led by sophomore Jenny Voss, who is the
only Lady Dolphin scoring in double figures, with a 10.11 average per game.
Gnanamani Hooyman is second in scoring with a 9.94 average and Kaleigh Phillips
is third with a 9.8 average. Hooyman, Phillips and freshman Michan Luecke are
all averaging just over 5 rebounds per game while Voss is 12th in the NWAACC in
steals, with 51 total.

four games being at home and four games on the road. SCC games at home are:

After staging one of the worst offensive performances of the season in a 37-36 win over Tennessee, No. 23 Georgetown once again failed miserably in trying to put the ball in the basket during its narrow 46-40 win over Towson on Saturday.
At least this time both teams eclipsed the 40-point plateau. In each team's last win, both failed to score 40 points, which rarely happens in a Division I basketball game.
The Hoyas held Towson scoreless for almost the final five minutes to recover from a 17-point first half.
Yikes. At one point, Georgetown was shooting 9%. Where is Jack Taylor when you need him?
Greg Whittington scored 11 points and Mikael Hopkins and Otto Porter had 10 apiece for Georgetown (7-1), which shot 17% in the first half and 29% for the game. Georgetown won with defense, forcing 22 turnovers and pulling away — if it could be called that — with a 4-0 game-ending run.
Georgetown transfer Jerrelle Benimon had 11 points and 16 rebounds to lead the Tigers (4-5), who are rebuilding with only three scholarship players from last season's 1-31 team.
The tweets during and after the game told the story quite well, actually.
@ESPNStats:"Info Last time Georgetown allowed 41 points or fewer in 3 straight games was the 1942-43 season. #longtimeago"
@MedcalfByESPN: "The Georgetown squad that lost to Indiana in overtime? Top-25 for sure. The team that went soft on offense against Tenn and Towson now? Ugh"
@SethDavisHoops: "Georgetown leads Towson 43-40 with 3:51 to play. Hoyas are, uh, offensively challenged these days."

USDA's Food for Progress Program Helps African Growth and Opportunity Act Countries Integrate into the Global Economy
Nations like Liberia have much to gain, as high-level officials from the United States and 37 Sub-Saharan African countries gather in Lusaka, Zambia, for the June 9-10 African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) Forum. Not only is Liberia eligible for AGOA trade preferences, allowing it to export a host of agricultural products to the United States duty-free, but it could receive more than $87 million in U.S. assistance in fiscal year 2011 to strengthen economic growth, which includes its agricultural sector. U.S. trade capacity building and technical assistance places Liberia in a better position than most to take advantage of AGOA trade preferences. Read more »

Superb Job In Removing CallousesI bought this as a replacement for another brand (I think it was made in Israel) and I had to press hard for it to shave the callous.I lost part of it and went looking for a new one on the internet.I came across your company,read the description of it,and realized it was made in Germany,where many surgical instruments are made.I received the package really fast,and tried it out. It was SO sharp, compared to my old one,I sliced into NEW skin!!(my fault!!) It's a true German precision tool.It did the job quickly and cleanly!! Needless to say,I was much more careful with my next callous. I would highly recommend both the company and productFeb 22, 2010Sue / Hudson,Maine,USA

Fell Apart When I Removed It From Its PackagingThis device fell apart in my hands--nearly cutting me--when I removed it from its packaging. The instructions (pictures) printed on the package back--the only instructions it includes--do not adequately show how to reassemble this thing. My dh & I both tried to put it together again, and did--and then it fell apart again while I was using it. Id prefer to NOT cut my feet open (or my hands, for that matter), so this thing went straight to the trashcan!Feb 26, 2008Heather

I Agree With AndreaI took me awhile to figure out how to use it without any instruction, and when I did, I wasnt impressed with the result. Since Im little too embarrased to return the product with my dead skins on it. I think Ill just buy a another one. which means this is just big waste of my money.Jan 31, 2008Amber / Philadelphia

Tweezerman Callus Shaver And RaspsThe Tweezerman callus shaver and the two (2) rasps that came with it work very well. I had purchased the Revlon callus shaver and a less well-known brand from Walgreens and neither of those worked well for me. I went on the internet looking for the Dr. Scholls brand and it appeared to me from the writing that the Tweezerman brand replaced the Scholls brand (Scholls no longer produces callus shavers.) I ordered the Tweezerman brand and it works well just as the Scholls brand. I am very happy with it and the rasps and am able to give myself a pedicure as well as a professional in that field.Aug 18, 2005Constance B. M. Hamedani / Chicago, IL

Salon Quality At A Far Better Price.This callus shaver is the basic tool used during a pedicure to remove dead, hardened skin, and its what makes your feet feel so soft and pampered afterward. As nice as the results are, the implement itself looks like a medieval torture device. To boot, the package provides no directions on using or maintaining the shaver. But this site provides excellent directions, which makes the shaver go from "barely usable" to "pretty darned good." A photo of the proper way to change a blade would increase my rating to five stars, but Im satisfied with the written directons. Im more delighted to have the identical tool used in my local salon, ready and waiting for my personal use. Another reviewer commented about the flimsiness of the file. The "cheese grater" file which is used after the blade is merely an intermediate step between removing nearly all the dead, hardened skin and a mild exfoliation treatment and massage to finish off. It appears to be flimsy before it slides onto the handle, but once its properly in place, it does the job quite well. (Thats the easiest way to tell you installed it correctly)All in all, for about half the price of one pedicure, you have a tool that will let you give yourself pedicures any time you wish, with no scheduling hassles, trying to find a parking space, tipping, or worry that someones nasty foot germs might migrate onto you. Id find this tool to be a bargain at twice the price.Aug 7, 2005Anonymous / Boston, MA

Not Super ImpressedThe product came with no instructions to speak of and has a razor blade that apparently needs to be replaced from time to time. I dont know about you, but I am not big into handling blades with no instructions. Additionally, the rasp does not stay on at all. It pops off at the slightest pressure. It is far more "rinky-dink" than I thought it would be.Jun 29, 2005Andrea / Washington State

No, we have no timeline for the final 1.4 release. But you can use the "beta" of 1.4, it's very stable.

Hurts a lot
"I bought this shoe thinking 1) it's cute and 2) the low heel will be comfortable. I was wrong about the comfort, and unfortunately I never wear these shoes as a result.The first strap at the toes has a habit of rubbing on pinky toes in an excruciating way. The heel "cup" in the back is just a bit too high and rubs on your Achilles tendon when foot flexes to walk. I'd rather suffer in my highest platforms than wear these again. :( So sad, because MRKT makes another, similar pair of sandals that are the most comfortable low-heels I have."

So cute, so uncomfortable
"Love this sandal, it is really pretty in person as well. However, I put them on and they were really really uncomfortable. There seems to be very little cushion or support on these sandals. Also, for some reason, even though the heel is not that high, it feels a lot higher than it is. My foot felt like it was positioned in a shoe that had a much higher heel than this. Very litte support as well if you have higher arches. Sadly, I will have to return them."

So amazing and comfortable
"These are perfect. I've been looking for a medium height sandal to wear to work and these are so comfortable and really cute! I have high arches and these seem very supportive, and the elastic straps are really comfortable when walking around. I wear between a 6.5 and a 7 depending on the shoe, and I purchased these in a 7 and they are perfect!! Love!"

So Hard To Laugh, CD (£7.43)
In 1975, The Kings of British Doo Wop were Rocky Sharpe & The Razors (they subsequently split into Rocky Sharpe & The Replays and The Darts). Starting out at The Arlington in Brighton, they moved to the Richmond, then to regular spots in London - first at Fulham's The Golden Lion, then at The Nashville Rooms in West Kensington -building an enthusiastic following along the way. Commercial success was rather more elusive. At that time, major record companies were interested in "original" material that cult revival bands did not provide. In spite of appearances on Radio London and London Weekend Television and a tour of Holland, the "Big Time" remained just over the horizon. The shift from semi-pro to full-time never came and the curtain finally closed on The Razors on 18 June 1976. Chiswick captured the 10-piece band in their prime, immortalised on these 1975 recordings, 10 of which are previously unissued titles. Razor sharp!

Set Up an Effective Greenhouse Gas Monitoring Plan
Several steps play a crucial role for success.
September 30, 2011, marked an important date for the new mandatory Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP) of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). It was the first nationwide deadline for companies to report their annual greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions levels. More than 10,000 industrial facilities across the U.S. had to submit data for the year 2010.
With the first report deadline complete, many plant managers are starting to breathe a little easier and feel the challenges and confusion surrounding the process are behind them. However, the deadline to report the inventory for 2011 is March 31, 2012. For those facilities that will be reporting inventory for the first time, it's essential they establish a GHG emissions monitoring plan to obtain and submit accurate data.
The EPA's Mandatory Reporting of GHGs Rule (40 CFR Part 98) is the basis of the GHGRP, and is the first nationwide regulation requiring companies to report their GHG emissions data and other relevant information annually, starting with 2010 calendar year emissions. The rule applies to certain industry-specific sources and facilities that emit at least 25,000 metric tons of GHGs per year.
This federal GHGRP is separate from any state-mandated GHG reporting programs or air emission reporting required by greenhouse gas permitting programs. The reporting requirements under each program may have similar elements but also can differ significantly.
The goal of the GHGRP is to give federal authorities an accurate depiction of who is emitting GHGs and at what level. The information reported to the EPA under this program will become public knowledge and the data will help shape future carbon-control policy decisions by the EPA.
The first challenge many companies face is understanding all the requirements. The initial focus of the GHGRP is on stationary combustion sources at all industrial facilities, and includes additional emission sources for specific industry sectors (as identified in the GHG Rule subparts). A facility must determine if it is subject to any of the specific industry sector subparts based on type of processes on-site.
An important element of the program is developing and implementing a reliable written monitoring plan that describes how the facility will comply with the requirements. An effective monitoring plan defines the GHG emission source; processes and schedules for collecting emissions data; calculation methodology; and quality assurance for these data. It's the key to simplifying the data collection process and increasing reporting accuracy. A site must keep the monitoring plan current and modify it as necessary to reflect changes in regulatory requirements, production processes, monitoring instrumentation, and quality assurance procedures. The monitoring plan itself is a recordkeeping requirement only if the facility exceeds the 25,000-mt/yr reporting threshold, or if it contains specific source categories that must report emissions. The monitoring plan need not be submitted to the EPA; however, it should be compiled in a format that can be audited by the agency if requested.
Setting up a successful monitoring plan involves a few important steps, including identifying sources of GHGs; determining the proper methods for monitoring; collecting the data; and selecting the procedures and methods for calculating and quality-checking the data from each measurement device or method.
Successfully developing and implementing the monitoring plan requires a team with a wide variety of skills and expertise. The team may include, but is not limited to, purchasing, accounting, operations, maintenance, information systems, environmental services, quality, engineering and outside resources.
Many companies augment their internal team with outside resources. Because understanding current regulations, reporting, monitoring and permitting require special skills, these firms, rather than adding to staff, use an experienced outside expert who knows how EPA wants the information structured and how to compile it efficiently. Another approach is to use an outside resource to train staff to handle some of the activities such as calibrating measurement devices and analyzing data.

KHL Highlights: Malkin gets pissed, Kovalchuk snipes again, Grabo scores, and Bulis passes to Bulis
Steve Dangle
November 16 2012 08:20PM
See that Malkin face? All pissed off and such? Pretty intense. So intense in fact that if you watch these KHL highlights you'll grow 50-75 more hairs on your chest by the time you're done watching them (that goes for you too, ladies). There's other games, too. Watch those also. In fact, I'm not even going to put the Magnitogorsk pack first just to screw with you.
Kovalchuk cannot be stopped in the KHL. It's nuts. This game features nice goals and screaming Russians.
Evgeny Kuznetsov, damn it! Remember the name.
Here's Malkin's mad face.
Radulov's first goal is orgasmic and Mikhail Grabovski also scored. Oh and they have Pavel Datsyuk so if you don't watch this pack you probably suck.
Ovechkin and Backstrom's Dynamo Moscow (who will be joined by Leo Komarov soon) fall to Severstal.
And the whole shabang, as the kids say.

What foods do you "Fall" for? Although the summer is definitely my favorite season of the year, I love the food associated with autumn and winter. At the top of the list is pumpkin, which is incredibly versatile and tasty.
I also enjoy roasted root vegetables, anything with apples, stone fruit and hearty "stick-to-your-ribs" comfort food. One of my favorite recipes is Pumpkin Chili, a delicious blend of flavors, texture and soothing nourishment.
Whether it's a main dish or an entrée, our smiling Jack O'Lantern is a great base. Just this week, I indulged in an Autumn Harvest Crepe at Ohlson's Bakery & Café. The tender crepe was filled with cranberry orange mascarpone cheese and topped with a pumpkin mousse and a cinnamon maple glaze. The made-from-scratch flavor was evident from the first bite! My breakfast mate had a Cinnamon apple crepe that was equally delicious—of course I had to try it! All I needed was a pumpkin latte to complete the fun, which reminds me: If pumpkin is so popular, why is it only available at this time of year? Rumor has it that Ohlson's will be offering their fabulous breakfast and lunch crepes year round. Now that makes sense.
Drop me a note or your favorite recipe on what you enjoy on your favorite cold weather food and drinks.

A wonderful sauce recipe whether you are going to be making it for Mishloach Manos or not.
- 1/2 cup butter -
- 5 cloves garlic -
- 1/2 cup flour -
- 3 1/2 cups milk -
- 2x28 oz. Crushed cans of tomatoes with their juice -
- 6 tbsp tomato paste -
- Kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper to taste -
- 4 green onions chopped (approximately) -
- 1 tbsp. dried basil -
In a very large pot, melt butter, add garlic and sauté until translucent. Stir in flour and mix.
Whisk in milk and bring to a boil for 3 minutes, stir constantly until smooth.
Add in tomato paste, crushed tomatoes, salt and pepper. Stir until smooth and cook for 5 minutes. Add basil, chopped green onions and remove from flame. Cool before spooning into jar.
Note: I used a funnel when pouring the sauce into the jars to help keep things neater.
I included the following poem with my Mishloach Manos:
A Freilechen Purim
From the Kafra bunch
Now sit and relax
We've brought you some lunch
A few quick instructions
For you to employ
Just 3 easy steps
And this dish you'll enjoy
First cook up the pasta
And strain when it's done
Then just add the sauce
And mix till its warm
Place into bowls
And sprinkle with cheese
Who knew that this dish
Is sure to please.
