Alberta EconomyStatements By Members

Ken Epp Conservative Edmonton—Sherwood Park, AB
Mr. Speaker, Albertans are very grateful for the energy boom that we are experiencing. We are happy to share the benefits with our fellow Canadians. While some individuals, even some in this House, are clamouring for more, I would like to point out how magnificently all Canadians are benefiting.
All Canadians through the federal government are the largest benefactors. Just think of the truckloads of money that go to Ottawa every payday for EI and CP premiums. Just think of the train loads of money which go to Ottawa as a result of the income tax deductions from thousands of workers and professionals. Add to that the huge amount of tax that is paid by businesses and corporations. I estimate that Ottawa gets between two and three times as much as Alberta.
Besides that, the spinoffs for businesses right across the country are huge. For example, the demand that is generated for vehicles and other manufactured goods coming from Ontario, Quebec and the other provinces goes well into the billions.
Let us celebrate Alberta's success together. Let us all be grateful for the economic prosperity it generates for our country.

Ken Boshcoff Liberal Thunder Bay—Rainy River, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise in the House today to mark the first 100 days of the new government and to demonstrate the broken promises or the "harpocracy" of the government. The list is long.
Number one, appointing a Conservative organizer to the Senate.
Number two, enticing a Liberal to cross the floor to his cabinet and recite the "harpocratic" oath.
Number three, muzzling the media by trying to hand pick who will ask questions.
Number four, disrespecting the Ethics Commissioner by refusing to cooperate.
Number five, creating an accountability bill that will make government less accountable.
Number six, standing idly by while his Conservative friends register as government lobbyists.
Number seven, recruiting lobbyists to his government.
Number eight, appointing his cabinet co-chair to the Privy Council.
Number nine, nominating a key Conservative fundraiser to chair the public appointments commission.
Number 10, scrapping the public appointments commission when he does not get his way with the nomination.
One hundred days of "harpocracy". One hundred days of shame.
Pierre Le Moyne d'IbervilleStatements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Marcel Lussier Bloc Brossard—La Prairie, QC
Mr. Speaker, I wish to pay tribute today to the memory of Pierre Le Moyne d'Iberville.
Next July 2 to 15, the University of Havana in Cuba, in collaboration with the Université du Québec à Montréal, will be organizing festivities in Havana to mark the 300th anniversary of the death of Pierre Le Moyne d'Iberville.
He was the great hero of New France—adventurer, shipmaster, privateer and first governor of Louisiana—who died in Havana on July 9, 1706.
Few people know about the tragic end and mysterious death of this hero in Cuba. The city of Havana remembers. It has honoured the visit of this hero with a major monument and numerous commemorative plaques in its museums and its cathedral.
July 9, 2006, 300 years! I remember.
World No Tobacco DayStatements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Penny Priddy NDP Surrey North, BC
Mr. Speaker, today is World No Tobacco Day 2006. This is a significant time to remember a Canadian leader in the fight against tobacco.
Heather Crowe worked as a server in the hospitality industry for over 40 years. In 2002 she was diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer caused by the second-hand smoke she was exposed to at work. She never smoked a day in her life.
Like many hospitality workers, Heather did not know that second-hand smoke was putting her health at risk. When she discovered the cause of her cancer, she dedicated enormous strength and energy to protecting others. Despite her illness, Heather lobbied politicians, spoke to schools and communities across the country, and appeared in a Health Canada advertisement to raise awareness about the dangers of second-hand smoke.
Heather lost her fight against cancer last Monday. She once said that her goal was to be the last person to die from second-hand smoke. Thanks to her, thousands of hospitality workers across the country now have a safer workplace.
I ask all members to join me in remembering her tireless advocacy and activism.

Mr. Speaker, more of the 100 days of shameful hypocrisy.
Number 11, dismissing the Kelowna accord.
Number 12, stalling progress on aboriginal issues by snubbing the aboriginal affairs committee.
Number 13, stalling the implementation of the residential schools agreement.
Number 14, reneging on his election promise to include the Métis in the residential schools agreement.
Number 15, undermining the procurement strategy for aboriginal business by allowing non-native companies to bid on contracts.
Number 16, refusing to uphold $400 million in extra funding for water treatment on reserves.
Number 17, announcing its own first nations water strategy with not one dollar attached to it.
Number 18, insulting aboriginal groups by ignoring their work at creating an independent first nations auditor general.
Number 19, scrapping $1.8 billion for aboriginal education programs.
Number 20, completely ignoring Canada's north by neglecting to implement the Liberals' northern strategy, and breaking the Conservatives' own promise to the north by cancelling icebreakers in deep water ports.
One hundred days of shameful hypocrisy.
World No Tobacco DayStatements By Members
May 31st, 2006 / 2:10 p.m.
Steven Fletcher Conservative Charleswood—St. James—Assiniboia, MB
Mr. Speaker, World No Tobacco Day was created by the World Health Organization. It aims to draw global attention to the negative health effects of tobacco use. This year's theme is "Tobacco: Deadly in any form or disguise".
I am proud to say that Canada has always been a world leader in tobacco control. Over the past 40 years, the percentage of Canadian smokers has been reduced to 20%, its lowest point in 50 years.
Provincial governments continue to enact smoke-free legislation. World No Tobacco Day marks the addition of Ontario and Quebec to the growing number of provinces and territories that are restricting smoking in public places.
Despite the great progress we have made this year, smoking continues to be the number one preventable cause of disease and premature death in Canada, responsible for more than 37,000 premature deaths annually.
For more information on Health Canada's tobacco control program or for tools to help quit smoking, I ask Canadians to please visit www.gosmokefree.ca.
World No-Tobacco DayStatements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Christiane Gagnon Bloc Québec, QC
Mr. Speaker, today is World No-Tobacco Day 2006, sponsored by the World Health Organization. The purpose of this day is to encourage governments to move toward stricter regulation of tobacco products.
Smoking is a global epidemic which is claiming more and more lives all over the world, particularly in developing countries. It is said that tobacco is still the only legal product that kills, when consumed as intended by the manufacturer.
Everything possible must be done to put a stop to this scourge which is the cause of some 13,000 deaths per year in Quebec alone.
This year, World No-Tobacco Day is of particular significance in Quebec for it coincides with the coming into force of certain amendments to the Tobacco Act. As of today, smoking is prohibited in the great majority of public places in Quebec, including all bars and restaurants. These measures will protect the population from smoking and from exposure to second-hand smoke.
Crystal MethStatements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Rob Merrifield Conservative Yellowhead, AB
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to convey my great appreciation for the citizens of Yellowhead in the battle against crystal meth.
When crystal meth first appeared in Alberta, Drayton Valley was one of the communities hardest hit, but instead of sitting by and letting the drug destroy lives, the people of Drayton Valley took action. In a coordinated effort, social services, education providers, local politicians and enforcement officers joined with concerned citizens to provide solutions.
Law enforcement officers were added. The community's officers were brought into a partnership with community mobilizers to conduct prevention programs in schools and in the community. It took a couple of years and a lot of hard work, but Drayton Valley's struggle has become a success story, with Drayton Valley having experienced a marked drop in crystal meth addictions and related crimes.
Its success was so notable that the mayor of Drayton Valley, Diana McQueen, was asked to join the premier's task force on crystal meth. Drayton Valley's success can now be duplicated around the province and across the country. I would like to say good job, Diana, and great job, Drayton Valley.

Mr. Speaker, over 100 days of Harpocrisy!
Number 21: keep ministers and caucus members quiet.
Number 22: suggest imprisoning journalists.
Number 23: quash the Public Servants Disclosure Protection Act.
Number 24: have committee chairs selected by Prime Minister.
Number 25: keep cabinet meetings secret.
Number 26: use favouritism in allocating funding for infrastructure.
Number 27: get rid of Public Appointments Commission if our friend is not elected chair.
Number 28: appoint a former unilingual Conservative minister to the highest bureaucratic position in Prince Edward Island.
Number 29: allow the Minister of the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency to threaten members from Atlantic Canada.
Number 30: only allow participants of a round table in Calgary to be heard if they received permission beforehand.

Child CareStatements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Helena Guergis Conservative Simcoe—Grey, ON
Mr. Speaker, parents of young children in my riding of Simcoe—Grey want our government's universal child care plan. They want it because our plan recognizes that parents need real and meaningful choices in care for their preschool children.
It is true that day care centres provide a valuable service for many working parents. That is why our plan will provide incentives to encourage business, community and non-profit organizations to create more flexible child care spaces, but parents need other alternatives as well.
In Simcoe—Grey we have a lot of farmers and families who work shift work at Honda and the many other parts plants that serve Honda. Whether parents choose to raise their children at home or get assistance from a relative or another trusted caregiver, our universal child care benefit of $1,200 for every child under six will broaden the options for all Canadian parents.
We offered it. Canadians chose it. We will deliver it.
The EnvironmentStatements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Catherine Bell NDP Vancouver Island North, BC
Mr. Speaker, many people in my riding are very unhappy with the government's actions on climate change and Canada's commitment to the Kyoto protocol.
Daniel Greene of Comox wrote:
I now think of this [Conservative] government as The Great Leap Backward....There is no excuse to walk away from Kyoto and the rest of humanity, instead valuing greed and ignorance.
This is not Canada and by any polls not what Canadians want to see.
Curtis Scoville of Black Creek e-mailed:
This kind of outdated thinking is unacceptable to me personally and is shameful to me as a Canadian citizen in the global effort to promote energy solutions that are safe for the environment and for human health.
Canadians want a government that is willing to protect the environment with real measures, not a fantasy solution and a tax credit. In my riding and across this country, Canadians are more than willing to do their part. I am willing to work with them and my NDP colleagues to propose concrete solutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and honour our Kyoto commitments.

Raymonde Folco Liberal Laval—Les Îles, QC
Mr. Speaker, over 100 days of Harpocrisy!
Number 31: reject the Kyoto protocol.
Number 32: attempt to undermine the Kyoto protocol by asking Canadian officials to block any consensus on the next phase.
Number 33: drop Project Green.
Number 34: announce late one statutory holiday that 15 programs on climate change will be cancelled.
Number 35: promise $2 billion to fight climate change without any budgetary measure.
Number 36: attempt to join the Asia-Pacific Partnership despite the absence of penalties or rules for greenhouse gas emissions.
Number 37: intend to be part of the Asia-Pacific Partnership when the U.S. Congress has pulled out all its funding.
Number 38: eliminate a made-in-Canada solution that would have resolved 80% of the problem.
Number 39: reject popular programs such as the one tonne challenge and EnerGuide.
Number 40: discourage the production of renewable and wind energy by cancelling support for such production.

Jacques ParizeauStatements By Members
2:20 p.m.
Pierre Paquette Bloc Joliette, QC
Mr. Speaker, on May 22, during the Souper des Patriotes, Jacques Parizeau was awarded the Louis Joseph Papineau prize, which honours a member of Quebec's National Assembly for political action in support of Quebec sovereignty.
Former Quebec premier and a minister many times over, he helped create the quiet revolution and modern-day Quebec. A learned man, he dedicated his talent to one single passion: Quebec.
With uncommon determination and intelligence, he has worked tirelessly to this day to give Quebeckers the only tool that will enable them to express themselves and reach their full potential as a people: national independence.
He constantly reminded us that we must not merely repeat the message, we must renew it. He once said that we should re-examine every premise of the argument. Some ideas will prove more useful, others must be reanalyzed, and many new ideas must be introduced to convince a changing society.
The Bloc Québécois salutes Jacques Parizeau, a great patriot and a great sovereignist.

Mr. Speaker, we have more of the 100 days of "harpocracy".
Number 41, increased the lowest tax rate from 15% to 15.5%.
Number 42, added 200,000 low income Canadians to the tax rolls.
Number 43, GST cut for the wealthy from the pockets of the lowest income Canadians.
Number 44, knowingly raised the personal income taxes of Canadians and tried to pass it off as a tax cut.
Number 45, promised to cut capital gains tax but did not do a thing in the budget.
Number 46, pitted province against province in the equalization debate.
Number 47, misled Canadians by saying their income taxes are being lowered.
Number 48, promised to fix the fiscal imbalance and did nothing in the budget.
Number 49, replaced billions of dollars in post-secondary assistance with a single $80 textbook credit.
Number 50, gave tax credits to hockey parents but not music parents.

Atlantic Canada Opportunities AgencyStatements By Members
2:20 p.m.
Gerald Keddy Conservative South Shore—St. Margaret's, NS
Mr. Speaker, I have spoken on several occasions about the apparent spread of amnesia through the Liberal caucus. I have since talked to several experts in the field. They have concluded that it is not amnesia. It is hypocrisy.
This is made clear with the hon. member for Dartmouth—Cole Harbour serving as the Liberal critic for ACOA. That member likes to give the impression that he is a defender of ACOA. However, in the race for Stornoway, and members did hear me say Stornoway, he is supporting the member for Kings—Hants, yet that very member wants to scrap ACOA.
Do members see a pattern? Is this Liberal policy? Is this a trend to abandon regional development and an important organization like ACOA? Or is it just more blatant political partisanship on the road to Stornoway?

Bill Graham LiberalLeader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, the passport issue shows the point to which this government regularly and consistently gives in to American demands. After he met with President Bush, the Prime Minister told us that it is a fait accompli and so we should just accept it. Fortunately, the provinces do not give in as easily as the Prime Minister.
Will he listen to the provincial premiers or will he leave it up to the provinces to fly the Canadian flag and defend our rights against President Bush's administration?

Jason Kenney ConservativeParliamentary Secretary to the Prime Minister
Mr. Speaker, obviously we will be working together, with all the provinces, to meet this challenge.
I would remind the Leader of the Opposition that it was the Liberal government that failed to defend Canada's interests on the passport issue with the Americans. The present Prime Minister and the Minister of Public Safety have made progress with the Americans. We are having success with the United States Congress in solving this problem as soon as possible.
Canada-U.S. RelationsOral Questions
2:25 p.m.
Toronto Centre Ontario
Bill Graham LiberalLeader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, as usual, the facts have nothing to do with the answer we have been given. The American ambassador was at least honest with Canadians: he does not think that the Prime Minister's wishful thinking will become reality and that one way or another enforcement of this policy can be pushed back to the last minute. The western premiers have told us that the implementation of this unnecessary legislation will have a disastrous impact on trade and tourism.
Is there no one in this government who is prepared to defend Canada's interests, or will it be left to the provinces to do that?
Canada-U.S. RelationsOral Questions
2:25 p.m.
Calgary Southeast Alberta
Jason Kenney ConservativeParliamentary Secretary to the Prime Minister
Mr. Speaker, I am so glad to see that the Leader of the Opposition is concerned about this matter. When he was part of the previous government, he did nothing to solve the problem.
The Americans have passed the bill. They have brought these new regulations into effect, and that will cause problems for trade between our two countries. However, this Prime Minister, on behalf of the present government, is making progress in Washington in defending Canada's interests.
Canada-U.S. RelationsOral Questions
2:25 p.m.
Toronto Centre Ontario
Bill Graham LiberalLeader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, the parliamentary secretary will have to face the embarrassing fact that the Ontario legislature recently endorsed a motion condemning the policy of his government and saying that this plan of the Americans will cause unnecessary damage to our economy. The hon. parliamentary secretary and his party might like to know that this motion was introduced by the leader of the Conservative Party.
Some members will recall the Prime Minister having turned his back on the premier of Ontario when he went to dine with him. Would the Prime Minister listen to the premiers, the tourism industry and his own Conservative colleague and stand up to the Americans on this issue? Or is going to he lead us to his own--

Jason Kenney ConservativeParliamentary Secretary to the Prime Minister
In fact, Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister is en route right now to meet with the western premiers as well as American governors on this very important issue. The real question is, why is it that the previous Liberal government left us to inherit the problem of the western hemisphere travel initiative without having done anything to defend the interests of Canada?
Our public security minister is working through our embassy with American governors, with Canadian premiers and with the business sector on both sides of the border and, because of that, we have seen progress in the American Congress.
This government will stand and deliver, unlike the Liberals.
Canada-U.S. RelationsOral Questions

Mark Holland Liberal Ajax—Pickering, ON
Mr. Speaker, I am glad the member opposite is staying in practice for opposition.
This question is for him and specifically relates to the passport issue. The reality is that the government has abandoned Canadians on this issue. Yesterday, four of the western premiers, along with the Ontario legislature, stated that the Prime Minister is not being aggressive in dealing with the United States on this issue.
It is becoming obvious that the vast flow of goods and people across the border is simply not one of the government's priorities. What is shameful is that the government is leaving it up to mayors and the premiers to do the work of the Prime Minister. When is the Prime Minister going to act on his responsibilities and stand up for Canada?
Canada-U.S. RelationsOral Questions
2:25 p.m.
Calgary Southeast Alberta
Jason Kenney ConservativeParliamentary Secretary to the Prime Minister
Mr. Speaker, let us look at the record. The Liberals allowed that law to come into place. They effectively did nothing to combat it.
Within 100 days of this Prime Minister taking office, we managed, working with our partners in the United States, to secure a very important amendment through the United States Senate. Our diplomatic officials continue to work with the ministry of public security along with the department of homeland security in Washington.
After 13 years of failure in bilateral relations, we have 120 days of success in defending Canadian interests.

Lemony Blueberry Muffins
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cups sugar
4 t baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 beaten egg
1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup cooking oil (I like canola oil)
1 lemon (zest & juice)
1 pint blueberries (two cups)
Sugar for dusting
Mix together all dry ingredients. In a separate bowl mix together beaten egg, milk, and oil, lemon zest, and squeeze in the juice from one lemon. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix until just moistened. Try not to over mix your batter- I know it's hard! Fold in blueberries. Place in prepared muffin pan and sprinkle the tops with a little sugar. Bake at 400 degrees for about 22 minutes, or until tops are golden brown. Be careful not to overcook these- they cook quickly!

Watch how to make this recipe.
Special equipment: toothpicks.
Place the chicken cutlets on a clean work surface, narrow end facing you. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place one sage leaf crosswise on each of the pieces of chicken. Sprinkle each of the pieces of chicken with 1/2 ounce (about 2 tablespoons) of fontina cheese. Roll up the chicken and seal with one or two toothpicks. Warm the olive oil and halved garlic clove in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat until the garlic is fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the chicken. Brown the chicken on all sides, about 3 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the pan and remove and discard the garlic. Add the wine and simmer for 2 minutes while scraping up the brown bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Meanwhile, combine the tomatoes and red pepper flakes in a blender and blend until smooth. Add the tomato mixture to the reduced wine in the pan. Simmer for 5 minutes to let the flavors marry. Return the chicken to the pan. Simmer the chicken in the tomato sauce for 10 minutes. Turn the chicken over and simmer until cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan. Season the tomato sauce with salt and pepper. Spoon the tomato sauce onto serving plates or a serving platter. Slice the chicken into 1-inch rounds. Remove the toothpicks. Place the chicken over the sauce and serve immediately.

BOSTON (AP) — Legal experts say authorities are placing intense pressure on the widow of one Boston Marathon bomber and three detained friends of the other to cooperate in the ongoing investigation.
Federal agents follow the widow of Tamerlan Tsarnaev in unmarked vehicles when she leaves her parents' Rhode Island home. The college buddies of surviving suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev face more than five years in prison after being jailed on charges related to covering up his activities.
The experts say investigators are trying not just to determine whether widow Katherine Russell and the friends are culpable but also to force them to share all they know about the brothers and possibly a wider plot.
Russell's lawyers say she's speaking with FBI agents. The students' attorneys say their clients didn't know about the plot.

TOPEKA, Kan. (Feb. 13, 2018) – Mazza Vineyards will again partner with the Sports Car Club of America® in 2018 as the "Official Sparkling Wine" of the Hoosier Racing Tire SCCA® Super Tour, Tire Rack SCCA ProSolo® and the SCCA National Championship Runoffs®. Podium finishers at each of those events will be rewarded with a bottle of Mazza sparkling wine with a custom label commemorating the achievement.
"It's great to be back with the SCCA in 2018," said Bob Mazza, founder and principal at Mazza Vineyards. "I've been involved in sports car racing since the early 1990s and followed the SCCA ladder system. I've even managed to claim a U.S. Majors Tour® class win. I know how great it is to come home a winner and proud that Mazza Vineyards can be part of the victory celebrations at Hoosier Super Tour and Tire Rack ProSolo events, as well as the 2018 National Championship Runoffs at Sonoma Raceway in California."
Mazza Vineyards was founded in 1973 by Bob and Frank Mazza. Since then, the vineyard gained prominence, counting several awards to its credit. Located in North East, Pennsylvania, Bob has served in an official role to help further the needs of wine makers in Pennsylvania. The flagship vineyard is also part of Lake Erie Wine Country and the Pennsylvania Winery Association. The company has grown to the point where the Mazza family has moved into producing other high-end spirits and beers. Mazza Vineyards is the family's flagship brand, while Mazza Chautauqua Cellars and Five & 20 Spirits and Brewing are the newer, New York state-based brands.
Deanna Flanagan, SCCA Director of Road Racing, is pleased to have Mazza Vineyards aboard again this year as the company's sparkling wine is an important part of victory podium ceremonies.
"A bottle of Mazza sparkling wine with a customized label will be presented to podium finishers at various SCCA events," Flanagan noted. "The bottle is another keepsake which each driver can save to mark his or her achievement and success. Plus, Mazza Vineyards is helping to continue the tradition of spraying a bottle of bubbly atop the podium, a celebratory standard set by the great Dan Gurney."
The Sports Car Club of America®, Inc., founded in 1944, is a 67,500-member motorsports organization that incorporates all facets of autocross, rally and road racing at both Club and professional levels. With headquarters in Topeka, Kansas, the SCCA annually sanctions over 2,000 events through its 116 Regions and subsidiary divisions. Much of the SCCA's activities are made possible with support from the following Official Partners: Chevrolet, the Official Truck of the SCCA; Hawk Performance, the Official Brake Products of SCCA; Mobil 1, the Official Oil of SCCA; Sunoco, the Official Fuel of SCCA; and Tire Rack, the Official Tire Retailer of SCCA. To learn more, please visit www.scca.com.

Testing For Kids In Idaho Panhandle's Silver Valley Encouraged
COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho (AP) — The Panhandle Health District in northern Idaho is offering incentives...
Category: Religious News
Stranded Choir
CINCINNATI (AP) — An Indonesian choir that missed its performances at the World Choir Games in Cincinnati because of travel troubles and ended up stranded has found generosity and an audience in the city.
The 49-member Gema Chandra Cendrawasih University Choir arrived shortly before closing ceremonies Saturday with little money, nowhere to perform and no way home. The Cincinnati Enquirer reports that residents helped, with a Batavia woman volunteering as a translator and an off-duty bus driver offering his services.
Meanwhile, organizers arranged for the singers to perform Sunday at churches and a convention center lobby. Some in the audience donated money, bringing the singers to tears. The nearly $3,000 will help them cover expenses.
Donations have made it possible for them to travel to San Francisco by bus to make their Friday flight home.

- 12 oz. spinach fettuccine fresh or dried
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 - 15- ounce cans quartered artichoke hearts
- 1 cup chopped tomatoes fresh or canned
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
- salt and pepper
- Prepare fettuccine according package directions for al dente.
- In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and cook 1 minute. Add artichokes and tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper and cook for 5 minutes-until heated through and you can smell the flavor!
- Drain fettuccine, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid.
- Return the fettuccine to pot and toss with 1/2 of the Parmesan cheese and reserved cooking liquid. Add artichoke mixture and toss again.
- Divide fettuccine into 4 warm bowls and sprinkle with remaining Parmesan and parsley. Serve immediately.
Terri's Notes
- ½ of this recipe is perfect for a "dinner for two".
- I added a handful of fresh spinach leaves to the artichokes and tomatoes, just long enough to wilt and heat spinach through.
- I think adding some shrimp to this recipe would be pretty good too! What touches will you add to make it a new family favorite?
- 2 pounds of Cheese stuffed Spinach Ravioli, in place of the fettuccine, makes a heartier meal of this recipe and was delicious too!

Clarification regarding assumptions for quizzes
In our next release (1.5), we will add text to this page making this point more explicit.
2 comments:
One thing is nasty about it. This is a competition and you are asking about very vide area of knowledge. At the same time you are shifting that area frequently. This makes the contest very difficult for beginners - which might not know Oracle 11.2G or Oracle 1.0 (I meant "wide variety of versions").ReplyDelete
At the same time I feel that there are multiple areas (I would add "non-standard packaged") are present more often than other, in particular UTL_FILE. I have the feeling that triggers are used quite often in the questions... and as far as I remember Tom Kythe has a negative point of view at triggers (he mentioned something about using them in the past but not recommending them currently... please comment if I am wrong or provide link to the asktom site if you know it).
I'll start by addressing the query regarding Tom Kyte's opinion on triggers:ReplyDelete
"If a well informed person who understands how to use them and understands concurrency, multiple users doing things, uses them, triggers are awesome. But the vast amount of people using triggers are not that well informed they don't understand the side effects and they definitely don't think in terms of multiple users.
When that developer uses a trigger they're using a very dangerous thing because they don't realise what they've done and how many ways that they can break. I have three features that are so misused that I think the world would be a better if we did not have them and triggers is one of them." (http://www.simple-talk.com/opinion/geek-of-the-week/tom-kyte-geek-of-the-week/, retrieved July 28, 2010.)
I largely share Tom's opinion.
I've actually found the questions about packages such as UTL_FILE to be quite interesting and useful. At one time I knew a lot about UTL_FILE, but I haven't directly used the package for several years. Although many of the applications I support read and write files, they do so using an abstraction layer I wrote that also supports other data storage such as BLOBs. This allows applications to interface to the concept instead of the implementation. If a new data storage mechanism is needed only the package implementing the abstraction needs to be modified.

Terry Harper
BiographyTerry Harper was born on Friday, Aug. 19, 1955, in Douglasville, Ga. He graduated from Douglas County High School in 1973. He was drafted in the 16th round of the 1973 Draft. Harper broke into the Major Leagues on Sept. 12, 1980, with the Atlanta Braves.
Braves Career HighlightsHarper's first Major League hit was a triple off San Diego's Rick Wise, Sept. 13, 1980, in his second big-league game. His first Major League homer came as a pinch-hitter off John Curtis, also of San Diego, May 24, 1981. Originally signed as a pitcher in 1973, he was converted into an everyday player in 1976. Terry posted career single-season highs in hits (130), home runs (17), and RBIs (72) in 1985, in a very productive year as an everyday starter. He also finished the year playing a solid outfield with a team high 10 assists, 11th best in the National League.
Terry posted a .254 batting average with 36 home runs and 163 RBI in 473 games with the Braves. Also had 29 outfield assists.

De La Rosa delivers another Fenway gem
BOSTON -- Rubby De La Rosa is still learning the nuances of being a consistent pitcher every fifth day. But that doesn't mean he can't turn in dominant performances at this stage of his development.
For the second time in his two starts at Fenway Park this season, De La Rosa was nearly untouchable. With his margin for error at zero, the righty led the Red Sox to a 1-0 victory over the Twins on Monday night.View Full Game Coverage
BOSTON -- Rubby De La Rosa is still learning the nuances of being a consistent pitcher every fifth day. But that doesn't mean he can't turn in dominant performances at this stage of his development.
For the second time in his two starts at Fenway Park this season, De La Rosa was nearly untouchable. With his margin for error at zero, the righty led the Red Sox to a 1-0 victory over the Twins on Monday night.View Full Game Coverage
The masterpiece included seven innings of one-hit ball in which De La Rosa walked three and struck out three. In his Fenway debut as a starter on May 31, De La Rosa fired seven shutout frames against the Rays.
With his latest effort, De La Rosa became the first pitcher to not surrender a run in his first two Fenway starts since Felix Hernandez, who pulled it off for the Mariners on April 11, 2007, and June 6, 2008.
"I feel comfortable," said De La Rosa. "I feel like home."
It was the third straight day the Boston bats struggled to produce. But this time, the pitching staff was dominant enough to end a two-game skid.
In the eighth, Andrew Miller and Burke Badenhop worked in tandem to preserve the lead. Miller opened by striking out Oswlado Arcia.
Manager John Farrell then turned it over to his sinkerball specialist, who has been marvelous of late.
Badenhop got in a jam, but ultimately got himself right out of it.
Kurt Suzuki started the rally with a single. Sam Fuld belted a two-out double to put runners on second and third. Danny Santana was hit by a pitch to load them up.
But Badenhop struck out Brian Dozier, eliciting roars from the Fenway faithful.
"I got down 0-2 quick and you can't do that," said Dozier. "But even looking back at the pitch tracker, he made good pitches. He left one hanging breaking ball, but it was up and in and not over the plate. And then he doubled up on the slider on the black."
On a night Farrell wasn't going to use primary setup man Junichi Tazawa, he had no hesitation to turn it over to Badenhop, who extended his career-best scoreless streak to 15 2/3 innings.
"That's not necessarily why I'm here, but at the same point, when we've got Taz who's thrown a million innings out there and he wasn't available today, a guy like myself needs to be able to step in and do things, and that's the fluidity of the bullpen," said Badenhop. "You have to have guys who can do that."
For a while, it was uncertain if De La Rosa's brilliance would be enough.
The Red Sox broke the stalemate in the fifth. Daniel Nava started it with an opposite-field single that stayed just fair down the line in left. Stephen Drew ripped a single to left, moving Nava to third. However, Drew was thrown out trying to advance to second. A.J. Pierzynski's sacrifice fly to left made it a 1-0 game.
"I think everybody is grinding," said Drew. "That's how baseball is. Hopefully we start picking it up here. Like I said, it's just a great win. I was thankful to be able to get some hits right there."
One of the few jams De La Rosa got into was in the first, but he worked around two walks by inducing Josh Willingham into an inning-ending double play.
The Red Sox cut down a run at the plate in the third. After Santana hit a single to center, he got hung up in a rundown between first and second. Fuld then strayed off third, and he was caught in a rundown as well, with first baseman Mike Napoli ultimately throwing him out at home.
"We played very good defense all the way around, particularly on that play where Jackie [Bradley Jr.] hits the cutoff man," said Farrell. "Nap is in position. The key play or the key position in that play is [Dustin Pedroia] going backdoor to insure we've got a chance to initiate a rundown from first and second. And then we were able to cut down the run at third. We're looking at a first-and-third situation and it turns out for us to get an out and then Rubby did the rest. Jackie's throwing arm is clearly a weapon. I think overall our defense is very good, especially Stephen at short tonight."
As for De La Rosa, the key to his development will be his increased trust in his fastball command.
"I don't know if I've ever seen a guy throw 99 mph who throws more offspeed than fastballs," said Dozier. "But we knew that coming in. He loves his changeup. He throws his changeup on 3-2 [counts] 90 percent of the time and he did that to us, so he stayed true."
And the Red Sox did just enough to win.
"No one ever likes those 1-0 losses," said Twins manager Ron Gardenhire. "You start to wonder about what you could've done different. But they pitched well and pitched out of a couple jams. So did we but they unfortunately got one early."

Faith.Brewitt needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 41 designs submitted by 11 freelance designers.
I moved to China in the 80's because of love for the dynamic culture, language and history. In China I've worked in public relations for large international PR agencies and corporatations for 15 years managing tech and corporate businesses's brand work across Asia Pacific & Japan. The past two years I've focused on SMBs for Dell. During that time I created a two-day event and online community called Dell Women's Entrepreneur Network, that turned customers and new Dell buyers into brand evangelists. It's changed the way that the company looks at PR and marketing and I believe many companies would benefit from this kind of tailored, hi touch, hi impact, experiential brand event work, especially in today's world obessessed with streamlining marcom budgets and putting all dollars towards social media.
Focus for our company is large corporatations that sell to SMBS with a particular focus on women entrepreneurs. China and Asia Pacific and Japan is our priority but will also do work elswhere. Our business model is more about effective brand marcom for businesses selling services and products to women business owners than women empowerment.
Would really like to highlight/showcase the word Faith as it's my name and part of what I'm selling is my network and expertise, taste and style. Also like more color- especially fushia and periwinkle blue. Should be cool, modern not too corporate and formal. While I want to focus on women businesses, I don't want our logo to be flower-y, feminine. Also would love to see my Asia expertise represented, that would be super.

I've been using the Loop Attachment Mummy case for iPhone 5 for a couple of months now and while it isn't as shiny or bejeweled as some of my previous case picks, it's amazingly protective and comes in very handy.
The Mummy case is made of silicone and that, combined with its unique design, let it stretch to hold anything from credit, debit, or ID cards, to cash, to a mini stylus. That does make it a little loosy-goosey around the edges, and that might bother some people, but I like that it's easy to take on and off.
Although it's protected my iPhone 5 from numerous bumps and drops, the Mummy case has worn slightly around the edges. Those edges also do project up over the screen slightly, but not enough to hinder swiping through apps and games.
It wasn't a case I expected to like, but the Mummy Case from Loop Attachment has lasted longer on my iPhone 5 than any other. If you want something light and fun, but still functional and useful, check it out!

Ripin Gallery
Carroll Dunham (b. 1949) is one of the most prolific printmakers of his generation. This survey exhibition of Dunham's graphic work is drawn entirely from the holdings at the Addison Gallery of American Art and documents the artist's engagement with printmaking from the mid-1980s to the present. A prolific and inventive draftsman and painter, Dunham combines abstraction, biomorphism, and cartooning in a lively and playful way to explore a wide range of images that he adapts to the special demands of the printmaking medium. Dunham's graphic vocabulary is broad and the present exhibition includes lithographs, etchings, wood engravings, screenprints and recent monotypes. Dunham will be on campus during February to lecture and work with Oberlin College students.
Organzied by Allison N. Kemmerer, Curator of Art after 1950 and of Photography, at the Addison Gallery of American Art, Phillips Academy.

Familial combined hyperlipidemia is a disorder of high cholesterol and
Alternative Names
Multiple lipoprotein-type hyperlipidemia
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Familial combined hyperlipidemia is the most common genetic disorder of increased blood fats that causes early heart attacks. However, researchers have not yet identified the specific genes responsible.
Chest pain (angina) may occur. However, there may not be any physical symptoms.
Persons with this condition develop high cholesterol or triglyceride levels during the teenage years. The levels remain high throughout life. They have an increased risk of early
Signs and tests
Blood tests will be done to check your levels of cholesterol and triglycerides. Specific tests include:
LDL test (increased)
HDL test (decreased)
Triglycerides test(increased)
Apolipoprotein B100 test(increased)
Genetic testing is available for one type of familial combined hyperlipidemia.
The goal of treatment is to reduce the risk of
The first step is to change what you eat. Most of the time, this is tried for several months before your doctor recommends medicines, too. Diet changes include lowering the amount of fat in your diet so it is less than 30% of your total calories.
Here are some ways to eat less saturated fat:
- Eat less beef, chicken, pork, and lamb
- Substitute low-fat dairy products for full-fat ones
- Eliminate palm oil
You can reduce your the amount of cholesterol you eat by eliminating egg yolks and organ meats.
Counseling is often recommended to help people make changes to their eating habits. Weight loss and regular exercise may also help lower your cholesterol levels.
See also:
If lifestyle changes do not change your cholesterol levels, or you are at very high risk of developing atherosclerotic heart disease, your doctor may recommend medication. There are several types of drugs available to help lower blood cholesterol levels, and they work in different ways. Some are better at lowering LDL cholesterol, some are good at lowering triglycerides, while others help raise HDL cholesterol.
The most commonly used and effective drugs for treating high LDL cholesterol are called statins. The include lovastatin (Mevacor), pravastatin (Pravachol), simvastatin (Zocor), fluvastatin (Lescol), atorvastatin (Lipitor), rosuvastatin (Crestor), and pitivastatin (Livalo).
Other cholesterol-lowering medicines include:
- Bile acid-sequestering resins
- Ezetimibe
- Fibrates (such as gemfibrozil and fenofibrate)
Nicotinic acid
Expectations (prognosis)
How well you do depends on how early the condition is diagnosed, when treatment is received, and whether you follow your treatment instructions. Without treatment, heart attack or stroke may cause early death.
Even with medicine, some people may continue to have high lipid levels that increase their risk of heart attack.
Early atherosclerotic heart disease
Heart attack
Calling your health care provider
Seek immediate medical care if you have chest pain or other warning signs of a heart attack.
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you have a personal or family history of high cholesterol levels.
A low-cholesterol, low-saturated fat diet in high-risk individuals may help to control LDL levels.
If someone in your family has this condition, you may want to consider genetic screening for yourself or your children. Sometimes younger children may have mild
It is important to control other risk factors for early heart attacks, such as smoking, if you have this disease.

HARRISON COUNTY, MS (WLOX) - Emergency responders from central Mississippi toured area waterways Wednesday. They're part of a task force that could be deployed to the coast during a hurricane.
DMR officers are quite familiar with the area waterways. Their training assignment was to transfer that local knowledge to visiting first responders from Rankin and Madison counties.
"This is Cedar Lake Road here, which you can access off the interstate and come right here to launch if you had to," said DMR officer Brian Wallace, as he explained things to one of the visiting responders.
This workshop on the water included a tour of Bayou Bernard, Biloxi Bay and the Tchoutacabouffa River.
"We get the opportunity to show them the area, because a lot of times these guys come in, they're trained, they're professionals and great at what they do," said the DMR's Patrick Levine, "The problem is, they don't know where they're working at and the area they don't know. So what these guys have done is they brought their GPS's with 'em. They brought charts. They brought plots and what they'll do is look at all the areas they will be working."
"Lowe's is right here?" asked Michael Gober from Madison County.
"Lowe's is right there," his DMR partner replied.
"Okay, I know where I am," said Gober.
He is with Madison County emergency management and says learning the coastal waterways will be a big help for future storm deployments here.
"It's been a good day. We've familiarized ourselves with some of the waterways down here. It's a little different from what we're used to on the Ross Barnett reservoir in Jackson. Learning about how the flood works. How the tide works," Gober explained.
One important aspect of this high water plan is pre-deployment. Some of these responders from central Mississippi may be called upon as early as 72 hours before the arrival of a tropical storm or hurricane.
"A lot of these guys have spent time training in swift water response. They've spent a lot of time training in collapsed house and collapsed environments, going into small quarters in the event we do have a storm," said Levine.
Thanks to the training tour, they'll also be more familiar with the waters they may be working.
The hurricane training also includes classroom instruction. The visiting emergency responders are learning which neighborhoods in South Mississippi are most prone to flooding.

Osler-Weber-Rendu syndrome is an inherited disorder of the blood vessels that can cause excessive bleeding.
Alternative Names
Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia; HHT
Osler-Weber-Rendu syndrome is a condition passed down through families. It results from a problem in one of several genes. Scientists have identified some of the genes involved. They do not know exactly how the gene defects lead to problems seen in persons with this syndrome, but it involves proper development of blood vessels.
People with Osler-Weber-Rendu syndrome can develop abnormal blood vessels called arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) in several areas of the body.
If they are on the skin, they are called telangiectasias. The abnormal blood vessels can also develop in the brain, lungs, liver, intestines, or other areas.
Symptoms of this syndrome include:
nosebleedsin children
GI bleeding, including loss of blood in the stool or dark black stools
Port wine stain
Seizuresor unexplained, small strokes(from bleeding into the brain)
Shortness of breath
Exams and Tests
An experienced health care provider can detect telangiectases during a physical examination. There is often a family history of hereditary hemorrhagic
Signs include:
Abnormal blood vessels that bleed easily in the throat, bowels, or airways
AVM seen on
chest x-ray
Decreased oxygen levels in the blood
Heart failure
Iron deficiency anemia
Tests include:
Blood gas tests
- Blood tests
Echocardiogram Endoscopy
Genetic testing is available to look for changes in genes associated with this syndrome.
Treatments may include:
Surgery to treat bleeding in some areas
Electrocauteryor laser surgery to treat frequent or heavy nosebleeds
Endovascular embolizationto treat abnormal blood vessels in the brain and other parts of the body
Some patients respond to estrogen therapy, which can reduce bleeding episodes. Avoid taking blood-thinning medications. Iron may also be given if there is a lot of blood loss leading to anemia. Some drugs that affect blood vessel development are being studied as possible future treatments.
Some patients may need to take antibiotics before having dental work or surgery. Ask your doctor what precautions you should take.
Support Groups
HHT Foundation International —
Outlook (Prognosis)
People with this syndrome can live a completely normal lifespan, depending on the parts of the body where the AVMs are located.
Possible Complications
- Heart failure
- High blood pressure in the lungs (
pulmonary hypertension)
- Internal bleeding
- Shortness of breath
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if you or your child has frequent nose bleeds or other signs of this disease.
Genetic counseling is recommended for couples who want to have children and who have a family history of hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia. Medical treatments can prevent certain types of strokes and heart failure.

Study: Coverage of Obama, Romney Highly Negative
A study finds that news coverage of both major presidential candidates has been more negative this year than in almost any other recent election.
The report is by the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism. It finds that President Barack Obama is usually cast as failing to lift the nation's limping economy, while and his rival, Republican Mitt Romney, is usually framed as a plutocrat and corporate raider.
The report, released Thursday, examines coverage by 50 major media outlets over a 10-week period, from the end of May to early August.
It found that "master narratives" about both Obama and Romney have been equally unfavorable, with some 72 percent of stories about Obama being negative along with 71 percent of stories about Romney.
- What do you think? Has the coverage of the presidential race been too negative? Post your comments below.

Roosevelt man jailed in cable job scam
A Roosevelt man was arrested on Saturday after he falsely told seven people he worked for a cable company, then took money from them as application fees for fake jobs, Nassau police said.
Darin Poole, 50, pretended to be an employee of Time Warner Cable and told a 50-year-old female victim that he could secure her a job in exchange for $120 for application and fingerprinting fees, police said.
The unemployed victim paid the fee, then told Poole that six of her unemployed family members and friends would like jobs as well, police said.
Police said the additional victims wired Poole money or met with him, and that the scam occurred between Oct. 10, 2012 and Oct. 18, 2012.
When Poole never followed through with the jobs, one of the victims contacted the cable company and found out that Poole never worked there, police said.
The victim called police after unsuccessfully trying to reach Poole.
Police arrested Poole at the Criminal Court building at 100 Centre St. in Manhattan on Saturday. He is charged with first-degree scheme to defraud. At his arraignment on Sunday at First District Court in Hempstead, Poole was ordered held on $5,000 bond or $2,500 cash bail. He is due back in court on Wednesday.

The Brain and I have been playing a new "game". (Get your mind out of the gutter.) Every weekend he picks three packages of meat out of the freezer and I find some way of cooking them. We started this little ritual after he realized that I could take an entire evening to make my weekly meal plan. Yes, I like to know what I should be eating for breakfast, lunch, snack, and dinner every day. (Unfortunately, there sometimes appears something delicious like oatmeal cookies that throw a wrench in any meal planning and I eat them until they're gone.) It's been working out pretty good so far. I've been trying to loosen up and go with the flow at mealtime and we're slowly eating all of the meat in the freezers.
This week though, things really came into line. Monday night I was sitting around watching TV, wondering how bad the storm was going to be, wondering if school was going to be cancelled on Tuesday (it was), when I flicked to Paula Deen making these beautiful pork chops. I was stunned. I was hungry after watching. I had already made dinner. D'OH!
So at the earliest opportunity (the next day), I pulled the thawed pork chops out of the freezer and had at it. Fortunately I had most of the ingredients in the cupboard because we were snowed in. I kind of tweaked what I had to make do for the stuff I didn't have. I was sad to see my package of pork chops only had two in it. (All our meat is wrapped in butcher paper so it's like opening little presents.) But I'm saving the extra rub for next time the Brain pulls out a pork chop package. The dry rub is super easy to mix together and the pork chops cook really nice and quick. If I liked gravy, I might make a gravy out of what I'm sure are the delicious drippings still in the pan. Even the Brain, who eats whatever I make and doesn't really comment, remarked that these were some delicious pork chops.
I sure wish there were leftovers...
Chocolate Spiced Pork Chops
adapted from Paula Deen's recipe
2 Tbsp firmly packed brown sugar
1 Tbsp Italian Seasoning
1 Tbsp dehydrated onion flakes
2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 tsp garlic salt
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp ground red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground black pepper
4 (1 1/2 inch thick) bone in pork chops
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large bowl, combine the brown sugar, Italian seasoning, onion flakes, cocoa powder, garlic salt, paprika, red pepper, cumin, and black pepper. Rub the mixture evenly over the pork chops.
Add the oil to a large cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Add the pork chops and cook for 3 minutes per side. Put the skillet in oven and bake the pork chops until cooked through, about 8 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the oven, transfer the chops to a serving platter and serve.

AMD enables CPU and GPU cores to work together on a single APU chip
Historically, cores process data inside a processor. The more cores you have working together, the faster a computer will perform tasks. CPU cores were designed for serial tasks like productivity applications, while GPUs were designed for more parallel and graphics-intensive tasks like video editing, gaming and rich Web browsing.
AMD's latest revolutionary processing architecture, Heterogeneous System Architecture (HSA), bridges the gap between CPU and GPU cores and delivers a new innovation called compute cores.
This groundbreaking technology allows CPU and GPU cores to speak the same language and share workloads and the same memory. With HSA, CPU and GPU cores are designed to work together in a single accelerated processing unit (APU) , creating a faster, more efficient and seamless way to
accelerate applications while delivering great performance and rich entertainment.
Learn more about the benefits of HSA and compute cores
This revolutionary new architecture, HSA, now allows the CPU and GPU on the same APU to share data and access the same memory, making communication between the two faster and more efficient. This technology is called heterogeneous uniform memory access or "hUMA."
Another big breakthrough for this architecture is heterogeneous queuing, or "hQ," which revolutionizes how processors inside an APU interact with each other to handle computational tasks. Before HSA, the CPU was the master and the GPU was the slave, but now they can both assign and perform tasks, making them equal partners and enabling workloads to be managed by the best suited core for a specific task.
Customers traditionally thought of processors (CPUs) in terms of the number of cores on each processor and the GPU's potential was rarely understood. This CPU-centric approach provided customers a basis upon which to compare a PC's processing capability.
Today, however, AMD's APUs perform work differently. By utilizing revolutionary HSA with hUMA and hQ technologies, AMD's APUs use the cores of both the CPUs and GPUs to functionally do work and even accelerate today's modern workloads. The question for this new architecture and new approach to processing is how to now talk about the combined total number of cores (CPU + GPU) on any given APU .
To answer this question, AMD has developed the term "compute core." The definition of the term "compute core" describes consistently and transparently the total number of cores available to do work or run applications on our next-generation accelerated processors.
A compute core is: any core capable of running at least one process in its own context and virtual memory space, independently from other cores.
Based on the above definition, a single compute core can be either a CPU core or GPU core.
To illustrate, we can describe a given APU, such as the AMD A10-7850K APU, as having 12 compute cores, consisting of 4 CPU cores and 8 GPU cores.
Beginning in 2014 with the first generation of
AMD 7000-series heterogeneous accelerated processors based on the architecture of the APU, AMD began designating the number of compute cores in the following manner:
AMD A10-7850K APU with AMD Radeon™ R7 graphics

BOSTON — Connecticut residents won't have to pay a tax on wellness, at least for now. The legislature's Joint Committee on Finance, Revenue and Bonding has voted down a measure that would have taxed health club memberships.
Members of IHRSA reportedly responded quickly to the threat of a sales tax on fitness services. IHRSA's Government Relations Manager, Kevin Buckley, launched a comprehensive advocacy campaign with Connecticut area club operators. Campaign supporters from health clubs included Bob Stauble of Healthtrax in Glastonbury, Vincent Sansone of The Fitness Edge in Fairfield, Frank Napolitano of TSl and Lisa Stricker of Bally Total Fitness.
"The campaign involved alerting clubs to the threat and encouraging them to do everything from letters and e-mails, to phone calls to meetings with legislators," Buckley told Club Industry. "IHRSA coordinated the advocacy campaign in order to ensure that elected officials were aware that Connecticut club operators were adamantly opposed to this measure. IHRSA also had extensive contact with the Finance Committee — that is the Committee that the sales tax proposal was in front of — during that time"
"Public health experts are unanimous that active and fit lifestyles result in decreased health care costs, reduced governmental spending, fewer illnesses, and improved worker productivity," said John McCarthy, executive director of IHRSA. "That being said, it doesn't make sense to raise the cost of physical fitness by levying a tax."
As many states seek additional sources of revenue in these tight economic times, it is likely that proposals to tax health club memberships, along with other goods and services, will emerge across the country. IHRSA said it and its members would continue to monitor Connecticut's legislature, as well as those in other states, to ensure that state governments encourage, rather than discourage, healthy activities. Alaska is high on the list as IHRSA works to defeat a similar proposal there.
"All across our country, efforts are underway to lower the barriers that prevent people from becoming physically active. Obesity rates are at epidemic proportions. Almost two-thirds of all adults are seriously overweight or obese. We plan on educating elected officials to these [and other] facts as well as the benefits of encouraging, rather then discouraging, exercise," said Buckley. "We are also very concerned about AED requirement legislation that has emerged in four different states — New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and New Jersey. IHRSA will be opposing these measures."

RICHMOND — So you think Richmond police officers can dance?
Well, it was a party Saturday at Richmond's Juneteenth Festival and the city's police officers in attendance did not want to be left out.
Attendee Angel Entes was enjoying the music by his friend DJ O Aces when a group of Richmond police officers working the event at Nicholl Park started dancing. At first, Entes said the group would start and stop, but finally a pair of officers went all out for the line dance hit "The Wobble."
"That's when I grabbed my cell phone and started to video them doing 'The Wobble,' " Entes said in an e-mail. "I was impressed (with) how they were also interacting with the community. My hat off to RPD!!!"
Officer Andrew Barbara, who works as a school resource officer, starts and ends the dance, while patrol Sgt. Eddie Russell joins him for a portion of the dance, said a proud Richmond police Cmdr. Mark Gagan.
"I was really happy to see our officers body language and how they were acting, and just how approachable they are," Gagan said. "That really helps with the community in the city of Richmond."
Gagan said the rank and file really get a chance to let their hair down with the community on the first Tuesday in August on National Night Out when they have barbecues, music and parties with community members.
And let this be an official challenge to all the other Bay Area police departments. Think you can beat this dance? Send us a video at email@example.com.
