By now, most everyone in the U.S. wind industry understands that last year's 13 GW-plus installed capacity shattered all previous records.
But how many knew that the price of wind under long-term power purchase contracts signed in 2011 and 2012 averaged $0.04/kWh – making wind competitive with a range of wholesale electricity prices seen in 2012. Or that cumulative U.S. installations have increased more than 22-fold since 2000?
These factoids are all part of the 2012 Wind Technologies Market Report, released on Aug. 6 by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). The report, authored by LBNL's Ryan Wiser and Mark Bolinger, details the latest trends in the U.S. wind power market.
Findings from the report indicate that nine states now rely on wind power for more than 12% of their total annual electricity consumption – with wind power in Iowa, South Dakota and Kansas contributing more than 20%. Additionally, Texas added over 1.8 GW of wind power last year, more than any other state.
The authors contend wind sector's growth underscores the importance of continued policy support and clean energy tax credits to ensure that wind manufacturing and jobs remain in the U.S. The 2012 Wind Technologies Market Report expects that 2013 to be a slow year for new capacity additions, due in part to continued policy uncertainty and project development timelines. While the report notes that 2014 is expected to be more robust, as developers commission projects that will begin construction in 2013, projections for 2015 and beyond are much less certain.
Despite the fine work of the domestic supply chain last year, reduced near-term demand expectations led to a difficult business environment in the middle and year-end last year.
Not only did a smaller number of new turbine and component manufacturing facilities open in 2012 than in 2011, but also a number of facilities closed (including the manufacturing facilities of Clipper and Nordic).
Even with these adjustments, notes the authors, near-term forecasts for wind power additions in the U.S., suggest that the market will have an over-capacity of nacelle assembly capability in the short term. The American Wind Energy Association estimates that the entire wind energy sector directly and indirectly employed 80,700 full-time workers in the U.S. at the end of 2012.
Although this is 5,700 more jobs than reported in 2011, wind industry manufacturing jobs saw an overall decrease from 30,000 jobs in 2011 to 25,500 in 2012 due to the severe decline in new orders toward the end of 2012.
According to the authors, manufacturers have now begun receiving orders for 2013 and 2014 delivery, but it is not yet clear to what degree these orders will lead to a recovery of the manufacturing sector in 2013.
Perhaps more troubling is that current state policies cannot support continued growth at recent levels. As of June, renewable portfolio standards existed in 29 states and Washington D.C. From 1999 through 2012, 69% of the wind power capacity built in the U.S. was located in states with RPS policies; in 2012, this proportion was 83%.
However, given renewable energy growth over the last decade, existing RPS programs are projected to drive average annual renewable energy additions of just 3 GW to 5 GW/year between 2013 and 2020 (only a portion of which will be from wind), less than the amount of wind capacity added in recent years, thus demonstrating the limitations of relying exclusively on RPS programs to drive future deployment.

Ranger 7
Goals: Ranger 7 was designed to take high-resolution photographs before crashing into the Moon.
Accomplishments: Many describe the success of Ranger 7 as the turning point in the American space program. The spacecraft turned on its cameras and began sending back images 17 minutes prior to impact. The spacecraft took 4,316 stunning images before crashing into the lunar surface at 10 degrees 38' south latitude and 20 degrees 36' west longitude on the northern rim of the Sea of Clouds.

Quick, hide the credit cards; spring is here. Even the most budget-conscious gardener can get into trouble now. A trip to the nursery for a flat of plants results in three flats, plus a new spade and pair of garden gloves. A plan to grow tomatoes in containers morphs into a raised bed of pricey redwood. Even a stop at the market for bread and milk brings about a new basket of blooms.
University of Delaware's Sussex Master Gardeners feel your pain. "We're garden-a-holics; we have a tough time controlling ourselves in spring," acknowledges Fran Meehan, a Milton-based Master Gardener.
While they can't help you with your self-control, the Master Gardeners do have some good advice on saving on gardening expenses.
For starters, get your soil tested, says Tracy Wootten, a horticulture agent with UD Cooperative Extension who oversees the Sussex Master Gardeners. You'll spend a few bucks for the test but could save in the long run. For example, if you have acidic soil, cabbage and other vegetables won't do well. You'll need to fix the problem with limestone or other amendments before planting.
Many of the Sussex Master Gardeners save money by starting vegetables from seed. It's also easy to start flowers from seed, notes Maggie Moor-Orth, a Delaware State University horticulture agent who provides technical assistance to the Master Gardeners.
If you've had bad luck starting plants from seed, try using a sterile, soil-less medium, says Moor-Orth. Seeds started in soil can suffer rot because of over-watering or non-sterile conditions.
Save money on your soil-less medium by buying dry mix rather than the wet mix formulation, advises Melora Davis, a New Castle County Master Gardener. "With the wet mix, you're paying for water," she notes.
Don't buy those special (and expensive) plastic trays for starting seeds. Recycle plastic containers you already have; just be sure to punch drainage holes in the bottom. Davis suggests using single-serving coffee pods (such as the K-Cup brand).
Garden accessories are another area where you can economize. Stakes, twine, plant markers and weed fabric can get pricey so the Sussex Master Gardeners are creative recyclers. Cut pieces from an old mini-blind for plant markers, suggests Betty Layton of Greenwood. Pantyhose can be used instead of twine, and T-shirts work well, too. "One year, I grew three-pound watermelons on a trellis and used my husband's old T-shirt as a sling," recalls Wootten.
"Some gardeners like to use bamboo for stakes," she adds. "It's such an aggressive plant that if your neighbors have any, I'm sure they'd be happy to let you cut some for garden stakes."
Carrie Murphy, horticulture agent for New Castle County Cooperative Extension, has even seen old golf clubs used to stake vegetable plants at Bellevue State Park's community garden.
If you're willing to consider more radical ways to save, get rid of your lawn. That's what Master Gardener Brent Marsh did about 10 years ago. Ever since, he hasn't spent a penny on lawn fertilizers, re-seeding bare spots, watering the lawn, lawnmower repair, or gas to run the mower. In place of turf grass, Marsh's one-acre Georgetown yard is filled with perennials, shrubs and trees.
Even if you remove a portion of your lawn, you could save money.
"If you're mowing a lot of lawn, you might think about turning part of it into a meadow planted with native grasses and wildflowers," says Marsh. "You'll see lots of birds and butterflies, enjoy the sounds of those songbirds and insects, and provide food for baby birds. And you won't have as much grass to cut."
Of course, Marsh didn't go out and buy all those plants that now fill his yard. When a sapling turns up – its seed carried by wind or birds – he allows it to grow. He also propagates his plants by taking cuttings, seeds, and dividing them.
Murphy has been waiting patiently to divide some ornamental grasses that she purchased three years ago. She wanted to hold off until she had good-size divisions to add to a new landscape bed at her North Wilmington home. Those original three plants will become six plants – for the price of just three.
Once you've decided to divide your plants, it's important to divide at the appropriate time of year. Murphy divides her perennials in early spring or later in the fall, depending on when they bloom.

(Gosh, do you think I need to add window washing to my list of New Year's resolutions? Eye yi yi.)
New Year's Eve is right around the corner! Always in search of great treats, I thought I'd share a few fun finds today. First off is this fantastic, delicious and inexpensive Almond Champagne at Trader Joe's. At a mere $5.99 a bottle, I cannot say enough about this bubbling cheer! It is a must have to toast the New Year!
I've been thinking of doing a post on "my favorite things." If I were to write such a post, I would have to include my Fostoria champagne glasses. These antique cut-glass saucer glasses can make champagne look even more elegant than modern flutes.
I cannot take credit for discovering these lovely things. When I got married sixteen years ago, I picked up a copy of Entertaining by Martha Stewart.
My eyes devoured every page, but the champagne glasses on page 31 especially raised a brow.
I spent the next several years combing antique stores for something similar and then one day the choir sang! I walked into Central Antiques in Phoenix, AZ and there sat a lovely set of Fostoria Champagne glasses in all their glory. Well they, of course, came to live with me. Since their arrival, I can honestly say that every drink taste better served in these glasses. Even a diet Coke served up in one of these beauties along side a grilled cheese can brighten my day.
This year I plan to decorate my antique Fostoria champagne glasses with these cute Mylar Spray Cupcake Picks found at any bakery supply.
In order for them to stand at attention mid-glass, I've stabbed them into a few red grapes. The bottom grape has been cut in half to provide a flat base for the decoration to stand.
You need 2 1/2 grapes to weight these down so they don't float in the bubbles.
Did you hear the news flash? Some fireworks are now legal in the state of Arizona! Can I get a whoot whoot!!! That means my deprived children finally get a chance to play with SPARKLERS!!!
Growing up on a Midwestern farm, my Dad would place a large piece of plywood in the driveway, give us a bag full of fireworks and a box of strike-anywhere matches and let us go to town. While I would never suggest that in this day and age, it is amazing what us children of the '70's survived! Wink.
With our warm Arizona climate, January provides that perfect month for a firework display. I'm so excited about the addition of fireworks to the celebration festivities this year that I can hardly stand it!
Commence the blackened finger tips and singed eyebrows. Grin.
As for some harmless entertainment ideas for the kids...Do you remember this movie?
My kids love to watch this one every New Years Eve...almost as much as I do. Grin.
Oh, and don't forget the fun hats and noise makers. I found these at Hobby Lobby.

Saturday night's loss at CommunityAmerica Ballpark dropped the Revolution's road record to 1-8-1 in league play this season
KANSAS CITY, Kan. – The New England Revolution has been solid at home in recent months, amassing a 4-1-1 regular-season record with four shutouts at Gillette Stadium since mid-May. But unless the Revs can translate their home form into success on the road, reaching the playoffs for a ninth straight season will be a difficult task.
A pair of goals from Birahim Diop and additional strikes from Kei Kamara and Jack Jewsbury – all sandwiched around Kenny Mansally's third goal of the season – condemned the Revolution to a 4-1 loss to the Kansas City Wizards on Saturday night at CommunityAmerica Ballpark, leaving the Revs with nothing to show from their two-game road trip which also included a stop in Chicago. The loss dropped the Revolution's road record to 1-8-1 in league play.
New England will return home for its next two regular-season games against the Philadelphia Union (Aug. 28) and Seattle Sounders FC (Sept. 4), but it's perhaps the following three games – all on the road against Western Conference teams – which will determine if the Revs can make a late postseason charge.
"To be one of the best teams in this league, you've got to win on the road and you've got to get points on the road," said captain Shalrie Joseph. "If you can't do that, you're not going to make the playoffs and you're not going to be one of those teams they're talking about. It's just not good enough."
One of the Revolution's biggest issues away from home this season has been conceding early goals, a trend which continued on Saturday night in Kansas City. English winger Ryan Smith almost gave the hosts the lead in just the third minute, but goalkeeper Matt Reis came up with a huge save to keep the game scoreless. The early save only managed to delay the scoring, however, as Diop recorded his first career goals in the 16th and 27th minutes to put the Revs in an early hole.
Although Mansally briefly cut the deficit to 2-1 going into the halftime break, it was always going to be difficult for the Revs to erase the Wizards' lead.
"You can't chase the game away from home," said head coach Steve Nicol. "If you go behind and you're chasing the game, what happens is that you leave holes. You can't fault the commitment from the players; they were fighting until the end. But when you make mistakes, you get punished. That's what happened."
Prior to their two-game road trip, the Revs had limited their opponents to just two goals during an eight-game unbeaten run in all competitions, including six shutouts. In two games in Chicago and Kansas City, they conceded a total of six.
"Defensively, we were solid the past couple of games and tonight we came in here and had a stinker," said Joseph. "We just didn't perform well. We were awful and that's the bottom line."
With one week to regroup before a visit from the expansion Union next Saturday night, the Revs will have to recover from their recent string of three games in eight days and prepare for another Eastern Conference showdown.
"We need to get rested and get after it again," said Nicol. "The only thing I can tell you is that we will do that. I'm confident of that – it'll never be in question. We just need to do things better moving forward when we have it and when we don't have it."

SAN ANTONIO - A disastrous flood that took 50 lives inspired the creation of the most popular tourist attraction in Texas.
The San Antonio River often flooded in the downtown core of the city of San Antonio where the river makes a sharp bend. City officials proposed eliminating this constant threat by building an upstream dam and burying the river in a large storm sewer under the city streets.
Work started in 1926 to bury the river, but was halted a year later when local conservationists successfully campaigned against its burial.
A couple of years later, local, 27-year-old architect named Robert Hugman unveiled his proposal to convert the antagonistic river to River Walk, a man-made canyon escorting the river through San Antonio in a colourful, attractive park-like setting.
Today more than 5 million visitors a year stroll the concrete sidewalks tracing both banks of the river as it loops 4.8 kilometres through the heart of the city and out to its suburbs.
River Walk is one storey below street level and the only motorized traffic allowed on it are the 50-passenger tour barges plying the river, which is only 1.2 metres deep and 7.6 to 12.1 metres wide.
In the city core it's primarily restaurants, pubs and fancy retail stores that front onto River Walk's sidewalks, as well as plenty of hotels.
City officials wanted less commerce and more culture, entertainment and green space along River Walk as it was extended out of the core. The San Antonio Museum of Art has one of the largest collections in the U.S. of ancient Egyptian, Roman and Mediterranean art. It is one of several new museums along River Walk.
In October, the $32-million Briscoe Museum of Western Art opened on River Walk. It houses artifeacts that tell the history of the Native Americans, Mexicans, Spanish and cowboys that lived in the U.S. Southwest. The late Texas governor Dolf Briscoe, who died in 2010, donated $4 million towards the museum's creation.
The Alamo of Davy Crockett and Jim Bowie fame is a block off River Walk in central San Antonio.
The $205-million Tobin Center for the Performing Arts will open on River Walk in September.
Museum Reach, a new stretch of River Walk, displays many works of public art in landscaped parkland. The city plans to extend River Walk into a 24-kilometre-long linear park through the city.
The early work on creating River Walk was funded and constructed by the Works Progress Administration (WPA) part of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's New Deal Agency that put millions of unemployed men to work during the Great Depression.
Marriage Island is a small heart-shaped island in the middle of the river in downtown San Antonio and it hosts nearly 250 weddings a year with the bride and groom usually drawing applause from tourists on passing sightseeing barges.
Professional performers on the open-air stage of the Arneson Theatre at La Villita often interact with passengers on the tour barges passing between the stage and the theatre's live audience sitting on concrete benches carved into the opposite river bank.
April is the best time to visit River Walk. Summer days in San Antonio usually see steady 38C temperatures. That's why the locals hold their biggest annual festival in mid-April.
Fiesta San Antonio runs from April 10 to April 27 this year and it's the biggest party Texas sees all year. Millions attend the wide range of festivities. One of America's biggest and most unusual parades involves 40 highly-decorated floats actually floating down the San Antonio River.

2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser TRD Special Edition Review - Long-Term ReportPosted in Vehicle Reviews on May 1, 2009
A year has passed and our FJ Cruiser has returned to Toyota, but not before we put nearly 15,000 miles on it. We learned a lot about Toyota's smallest Cruiser during its stay with us, but one of the most intriguing things we discovered was how well received the FJ has been by our readers, becoming one of the most popular single models in recent memory.
With a year of experience behind us, we can share your enthusiasm for the FJ. It is a vehicle that is as adept on the road as it is on the trail. We trusted it enough to take on a solo trip to prerun our FWOTY competitions and to enjoy it in the snow, and on our regular backcountry trips to the California desert
The FJ obviously makes an excellent platform for aftermarket modifications, but our sharp-looking TRD Special Edition addressed many of our needs and wants that we would normally address in the aftermarket, while keeping the vehicle stock. We felt the inclusive and exclusive TRD package was our FJ's best feature, and the unique monochromatic look (with the black body-color top) drew attention wherever FJ fans were in attendance.
The chassis of the FJ also proved to be playful, capable, and fun. It is truly a driver's machine in the right environment, no doubt helped by the 4.0L V-6 and six-speed manual transmission of our tester. The Bilstein shocks and BFGoodrich All-Terrain tires, remain one of our favorite combinations and didn't disappoint in this go around.
While we regularly heaped praise on our FJ, there are a few areas we would improve, such as visibility, a highway range of more than 300 miles, and more comfortable seats. We also were less than thrilled with the typical beeping of the electronics warning or alerting at seemingly regular intervals-a malady we have come to expect from Toyota vehicles these days.
The FJ was much more agreeable when it came to its simple and inexpensive maintenance schedule, which required servicing every 5,000 miles. The FJ was also as reliable as expected with the sole hiccup being a malfunctioning windshield washer system that was replaced under warranty.
After earning our respect over the course of the year, we can, without reservation, recommend the FJ Cruiser to anyone who has it underconsideration. We are also planning more FJ stories in future issues of Four Wheeler thanks to all of the interest our long-termer has received from our readers.

MyTravel's website woes
'Code release' cockup downs booking system
Thomas Cook sister company MyTravel has been hit by a system upgrade blunder which has knocked out a number of its group websites over the past few days.
It would appear that MyTravel attempted to quietly roll out an update to its servers last weekend.
The cheap package holiday firm sent an email to its customers on Monday admitting that a "code release" had caused a major issue with its backend booking system.
It said: "The problem has been identified and is being worked on as we speak. We hope to have the sites and booking functionality back up and running over the next few hours."
But more than 72 hours after that email was issued to customers, MyTravel is still having problems with some of its web servers.
Anyone hoping to book cheap flights via the firm's MyTravel Lite website are being greeted with a static status page that simply reads:
"In order to make essential maintenance to our booking process, you will be unable to access our website from 8pm on Saturday 27th October until further notice."
We put a call into MyTravel's press office to find out when its services will back up and running.
Unfortunately, despite the lengthy downtime, no one was willing to explain the cockup or tell us when customers can expect normal service to resume. ®

Using a statistics program called Match Analysis, we delve deep into the numbers to find out what has contributed to the Revolution's current 365-minute shutout streak
Special thanks to our friends at Match Analysis for the graphs and statistics used in the following feature.
After the New England Revolution suffered a humbling 5-0 loss to Real Salt Lake on July 2 – unsurprisingly one of the heaviest defeats in club history – you'd have been hard-pressed to find anyone willing to put money on the Revs not only winning their next four matches, but shutting out their opponents for 365 consecutive minutes.
But, of course, that's exactly what has happened, as the form shown in a confidence-boosting 2-0 win over the league-leading LA Galaxy on July 10 rolled right into the group stage of SuperLiga, in which the Revolution claimed 1-0 victories over Pumas UNAM, the Chicago Fire and Monarcas Morelia.
The sudden turnaround has raised one burning question among Revolution fans and media members alike: What have the Revs been doing differently in their last four games?
As the Revolution's Staff Writer & Online Host, I've been asking myself the same question. Sure, we can all see some noticeable differences in the level of play by simply watching with our own eyes – players are making smarter decisions, the simple execution has been better and the defensive organization has been fantastic. But as someone who is fascinated by statistics (blame it on three years of writing game notes for use in television broadcasts), I wanted to dig a little deeper to see what some of the stats revealed about these recent games.
Luckily, we have access to an incredible program called Match Analysis, which breaks down each Revolution game into the most minute of details. Want to know which Revs player had the most touches last game? Or in what region of the field the Revs spent the most time? What about how many times did the Revs string together five-plus passes? Check, check and check.
The only unfortunate part of this process is that I only have access to the Revolution's regular-season games, so the last three SuperLiga matches won't be part of today's analysis. What I do have access to is the 5-0 loss to RSL on July 2 and the 2-0 win over the LA Galaxy on July 10, so I'll be comparing those two games to see why the Revs found defensive success against the Galaxy when they didn't against RSL.
What we'll be looking at today are the possession statistics for both Real Salt Lake and the Galaxy, or more accurately, how well the Revs were able to limit their opponent's possession.
The graph above shows how Real Salt Lake performed in possession in the 5-0 victory over the Revs on July 2. The "Team Possession" segment shows what percentage of the time Salt Lake's possession resulted in a completed pass, a shot, a lost pass or a loss on the dribble. The "Possessions" segment shows how well RSL strung together passes for an extended period, showing how many times they completed one pass, two passes, etc., all the way up to seven-plus passes. For our purposes, you can ignore the "Possession by Position" segment, although it's relatively straightforward if you understand the graphs on the left.
First, I want to focus on the "Team Possession" segment, which provides us with the following statistics:
Second, on the "Possessions" segment, we see that Salt Lake had 17 passing sequences of seven or more passes.
Now, let's take a look at the same graphs from the LA Galaxy game.
Instantly you should notice some remarkable differences between the Galaxy's possession graph and RSL's possession graph. Here are the statistics from the "Team Possession" segment.
Meanwhile, on the "Possessions" segment, we see that the Galaxy had three passing sequences of seven or more passes.
The two areas I want to focus on in the "Team Possession" segment are the possession resulting in a completed pass and possession resulting in a lost pass. Whereas RSL completed a pass 67.1 % of the time and lost a pass only 20.0 % of the time, LA completed a pass only 52.8 % of the time and lost a pass 34.6 % of the time.
On top of that, RSL had 17 (SEVENTEEN!) passing sequences of seven or more passes, whereas LA only had three passing sequences of seven or more passes.
Looking at those statistics, it's not difficult to figure out in which game the Revs conceded five goals and in which they secured a shutout.
Depending on your point of view, you could reach a number of different conclusions based on these statistics, but here are my own personal beliefs.
For me, the key statistic is the percentage of lost passes, which is an indicator of how well the Revs were closing down the passing lanes and taking up the right spots defensively. RSL only lost possession on a pass 20.0 % of the time, while the Galaxy lost possession on a pass 34.6 % of the time, meaning the Revs were much more organized defensively against the Galaxy. You could try to argue that RSL is simply a better team than the Galaxy, but the fact that LA has the best record in the league and had only lost once prior to meeting the Revs would seem to indicate that the Revolution's performance had quite a bit to do with the results.
The other fascinating statistic is the extended passing sequences, with RSL combining for seven-plus passes 17 times and the Galaxy doing so only three times. This is another indicator of the Revs' defensive organization – they allowed RSL to dictate the game and build a rhythm and flow in their possession, while they prevented the Galaxy from ever maintaining possession for an extended period. The longer a team has possession, the longer they have to open up a defense – and the longer the defenders are chasing and getting tired – so it's no surprise that the difference between RSL and LA amounted to five goals.
Of course, there's also the fact that less possession for the opponent means more possession for the Revs, which could help explain why New England was shut out against RSL yet became the first team to score twice against the Galaxy. But I think that's a discussion for another day …

Search and RescueStatements by Members
2:05 p.m.
Tilly O'Neill-Gordon Conservative Miramichi, NB
Mr. Speaker, I stand in the House today to recognize the brave and courageous service of a young constable from my local Miramichi Police Force named Andrew Vickers.
On October 19, a woman threw herself into the Miramichi River in an attempt to take her own life. Constable Vickers braved strong currents and frigid water temperatures to save a life, while at the same time risking his own. Constable Vickers was supported through the rescue by Sergeant Les Saunders and Corporal Charlie Barter, who both provided encouragement and assistance. Following the rescue, the Miramichi Fire Department dispatched a boat to have the woman transported to the nearest ambulance. Thankfully, these efforts were successful and a life was saved.
This event shines a light on the vital importance of our essential services to communities across this country. It reminds us that suicide and mental health are serious problems that affect individual lives everywhere.
We on the Miramichi are happy to see Andrew following in the footsteps of his dad, a proud father, our very own Sergeant-at-Arms, Kevin Vickers.
South Shore Community Credit AssociationStatements by Members
October 26th, 2011 / 2:05 p.m.
Pierre Nantel NDP Longueuil—Pierre-Boucher, QC
Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to celebrate the 10th anniversary of a community credit organization on the south shore, ACERS, the Association communautaire d'emprunt de la Rive-Sud. Over the years, ACERS has supported hundreds of potential entrepreneurs in my region who were eligible for non-traditional funding to establish their businesses. By fighting poverty and social exclusion through community credit—money loaned by individuals in the community—ACERS has helped low-income individuals start businesses and create their own jobs. One example is textile designer Mary-Lou Senécal, who was an unemployed mother in 2008, but who has now been running MaryChâle for three years and employs two other people. For 10 years, ACERS has played a unique role on the south shore and works in partnership with key socio-economic organizations in the region.
This year, 17 new entrepreneurs achieved their dreams. More than 200 people have taken advantage of the association's community credit services. This past weekend, in Alma, the general council of the New Democrat Quebec section adopted a resolution to support the development of community credit. Long live community credit and long live ACERS.

Ken RitterStatements by Members
2:05 p.m.
Ralph Goodale Liberal Wascana, SK
Mr. Speaker, it is with great sadness that I learned of the passing this week of Saskatchewan farmer Ken Ritter, the first producer-elected chairman of the Canadian Wheat Board. He was just 64 years old. He held degrees from three different universities, taught school in Australia and practised law in Regina, but Ken's home and heart were on the farm in west central Saskatchewan.
He was an active citizen through Rotary, Kinsmen and hockey, through surface rights arbitrations and farmland security legislation, as a commissioner on the National Transportation Agency and then, for a decade, elected director and chair of the Canadian Wheat Board.
Intellectually rigorous with a passion for honest debate, Ken was an innovator, always generating new ideas to better serve farmers.
With his three children, Ramon, Felice and Nicole, eight grandchildren, other family members and many friends, we will cherish his memory.
Martin GoudreaultStatements by Members
2:10 p.m.
Jay Aspin Conservative Nipissing—Timiskaming, ON
Mr. Speaker, every day Canadian military personnel risk their lives to protect our nation.
On June 6 of last year, Sergeant Martin Goudreault from my riding paid the ultimate price in Kandahar doing the job he loved: leading soldiers. Sergeant Goudreault is survived by his parents, Aurel and Micheline, and two sisters, Chantal and Valerie. His last deployment was a reconnaissance with 1 Royal Canadian Regiment Battle Group.
On Saturday, October 15, his hometown of Temiskaming Shores honoured him by naming the beautiful park overlooking the community in his honour. He will continue to watch over his community. He will be forever remembered for his sacrifice.
God bless Sergeant Goudreault. Dieu bénit sergent Goudreault.
Saint-LambertStatements by Members
2:10 p.m.
Sadia Groguhé NDP Saint-Lambert, QC
Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to greet the people in my riding of Saint-Lambert.
Over the past weeks, I have met with representatives of various community groups in my riding. I would like to thank the following groups in particular: Le Virage, la Table itinérance Rive-Sud, la Maison de la famille LeMoyne and La Traversée. The work they are undertaking in their respective communities is remarkable.
I would like to focus on the wonderful work being done by La Traversée. Since 1984, this organization has given considerable help to thousands of women and children on Montreal's south shore who have been victims of sexual abuse. The organization's violence prevention and philosophy for children program is being used in Quebec schools and is generating more and more interest outside the province as well.
I would like to extend my sincere thanks to the team at La Traversée for all that they bring to our community.
I will continue to bring the concerns and hopes of the people of Saint-Lambert here to the House and thus I will, to the best of my abilities, defend the best interests of our riding.
Atlantic Agricultural Hall of FameStatements by Members
2:10 p.m.
Mike Allen Conservative Tobique—Mactaquac, NB
Mr. Speaker, this week, the Atlantic Agricultural Hall of Fame will induct Bill Pryor of Williamstown-Centreville, New Brunswick.
While nominated by the New Brunswick Cattle Producers in recognition of over 50 years of contributions to the farm community and farm families, Bill has a deep understanding of many sectors of agriculture.
Those who know Bill are very aware of the current health challenges he is facing in his battle with ALS. However, during one of my recent visits, he was all smiles after the family had taken him out to visit the cattle in the family vehicle.
He also did not miss the chance to speak to me about suggestions on the next round of ag programs. Bill has always considered the future of agriculture, including the support of 4-H, specifically his commitment to the 4-H component of the Carleton County Spring Show and Sale. The first 4-H steers were exhibited in 1963 and, to his credit, the show continues to be a success today.
Bill has a positive influence on the industry that has been so near to his heart. He is truly deserving of this hall of fame recognition. I thank Bill for sharing with me just some of his expertise, but more important was the sharing of his valuable time. I congratulate my friend.
Spinal Cord InjuriesStatements by Members
2:10 p.m.
Laurie Hawn Conservative Edmonton Centre, AB
Mr. Speaker, I stand today to bring attention to a situation that affects over 86,000 Canadians today and 4,300 more Canadians every year.
I am referring to Canadians living with spinal cord injuries at great personal cost to themselves and costing billions of health care dollars every year.
Today, 25 members of this House and the other place are spending their working day in wheelchairs to get a tiny taste of the challenges that people with spinal cord injuries face in everyday activities that we take for granted. This is the annual chair-leader event, sponsored by the Canadian Paraplegic Association, and I am proud to be a part of it.
Many Canadians with spinal cord injuries have accomplished great things and have provided us with inspiration, people like Rick Hansen, athletes like Chantal Petitclerc, and our own colleagues in this House from Montcalm and Charleswood—St. James—Assiniboia.
We need to do more than take inspiration from these people. We need to raise awareness of the challenges that all Canadians with spinal cord injury face and do everything we can to support treatment and, what is very important, research and development.
We have made a lot of progress, but there are many steps left not taken.
Prime Minister's Awards for Teaching ExcellenceStatements by Members
2:15 p.m.
Jack Harris NDP St. John's East, NL
Mr. Speaker, I stand today to pay tribute to a group of Canadians who deserve our special congratulations. They are the exceptional teachers who have received the Prime Minister's Awards for Teaching Excellence.
These teachers, from all provinces and territories, have been nominated and judged as exemplifying the best qualities of teaching.
In my own province of Newfoundland and Labrador, we have Catherine Downey, David Gill and Corey Morgan, a superhero teaching trio at Amalgamated Academy in Bay Roberts, who were awarded the Certificate of Excellence.
Glenn Normore and Darla O'Reilly of Holy Trinity in Torbay, Sean Penney of Holy Heart and Yvonne Dawe of Bishops College, both in St. John's, and Erin Walsh of St. Peter's in Mount Pearl were all awarded the Certificate of Achievement.
I ask all hon. members to join with me in congratulating these award-winning teachers and, through them, all teachers throughout our country who dedicate their careers to giving our children the guidance, the skills and the inspiration they need to be the best that they can be.
DiwaliStatements by Members
2:15 p.m.
Deepak Obhrai Conservative Calgary East, AB
Mr. Speaker, the resounding mandate of 67.4% given to me by the people of Calgary East in the recent election is testament to the faith they have placed in me and in our Conservative government. We will not let them down.
In the past year, our government has increased OAS benefits to seniors and helped fund affordable housing construction. As part of the Asia-Pacific Gateway, we are in the process of upgrading 52nd Street South East, which will enhance the safety and efficiency of transportation infrastructure.
We are working hard to keep our streets safe and neighbourhoods free of crime. In this regard, we remain committed to passing the safe streets and communities act within 100 sitting days.
Before I finish, I would like to remind all members that today is Diwali, the Festival of Lights. My family and I take this opportunity to wish everyone a happy Diwali and a prosperous New Year.
La Mouvance Women's CentreStatements by Members
2:15 p.m.
Laurin Liu NDP Rivière-des-Mille-Îles, QC
Mr. Speaker, I would like to take a moment to recognize the work of La Mouvance, Centre de femmes, a very dynamic organization serving the Saint-Eustache region. This organization helps break the isolation of women by providing services for the various stages of their lives.
I would especially like to acknowledge the dedication of Angèle Poulin, who has devoted herself to La Mouvance, Centre de femmes in Saint-Eustache for over 22 years. Her many accomplishments include organizing events in the Deux-Montagnes RCM for the World March of Women, creating a food assistance program, contributing to the founding of Maison d'Esther, establishing La Chanterelle, a drop-in daycare centre, and organizing conferences on health and legal aid.
On October 12, 2011, Ms. Poulin was awarded the Order of Saint-Eustache and the title of "great citizen". I would like to thank her for the work she does and wish La Mouvance continued success.
Alexander JohnstonStatements by Members
2:15 p.m.
David Sweet Conservative Ancaster—Dundas—Flamborough—Westdale, ON
Mr. Speaker, earlier today, a Canadian soldier was laid to rest with full military honours at Cantimpré Canadian Cemetery in Sailly-lez-Cambrai, France.
Private Alexander Johnston died during the Battle of the Canal du Nord on September 29, 1918, a battle fought during the final 100 days of the war.
Private Johnston was born in Scotland in 1885 and moved to Hamilton, Ontario, in his late twenties. He fought as part of the 78th Battalion of the Canadian Expeditionary Force in Raillencourt-Sailly, France.
The remains of this former steelworker were discovered in 2008 and were identified through DNA testing earlier this year.
Private Johnston paid the ultimate price in the service of our country. This morning, it was Canada's honour and duty to properly lay this brave soldier to rest.
Responsibility to Protect PrincipleStatements by Members
2:15 p.m.
Irwin Cotler Liberal Mount Royal, QC
Mr. Speaker, the 10th anniversary of the Responsibility to Protect Principle, which authorizes international action "to protect a state's population from genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity" if that state is unable or unwilling to protect its own citizens--or worse, is the author of its criminality, as in the recent case of Libya--is not only a landmark normative principle but has been characterized as the most significant development in the defence of human rights since the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948.
Yet, given that there have been millions of preventable deaths over the past 10 years, what ultimately matters is translating this principle into practice, organized around the four pillars of the responsibility to prevent to begin with, the responsibility to respond and protect, the responsibility to bring war criminals to justice, and the responsibility to rebuild.
In a word, this principle is about saving lives, about protecting international peace and security, and about protecting human security. We ignore it at our peril.
Firearms RegistryStatements by Members
2:20 p.m.
Chris Warkentin Conservative Peace River, AB
Mr. Speaker, Canadians gave our government a strong mandate to end the wasteful and ineffective long gun registry once and for all, and that is exactly what we are doing.
We are united as Conservatives from coast to coast to coast to end the measure that unfairly targets law-abiding hunters, farmers and sport shooters. It does nothing to keep guns out of the hands of dangerous criminals.
However, there is nothing but division within the NDP on this important issue, and no one need take my word for it. The opposition House leader confirmed it on Friday.
Canadians are confused as to where the NDP stands. The member for Thunder Bay—Superior North said that the registry was "ineffective" to stop crime. However, the NDP leadership candidate from Outremont said, "to destroy the long gun registry is to destroy lives". The NDP member for Davenport said that he was for an "about all out ban" on guns.
The NDP members need to be honest with Canadians. Will they stand with this government and end the wasteful and ineffective long gun registry once and for all, or will it force its members to--

MulticulturalismStatements by Members
2:20 p.m.
Don Davies NDP Vancouver Kingsway, BC
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise to recognize the 40th anniversary of the policy of official multiculturalism in Canada.
Canada has always been a meeting place of diverse cultures. From the distinct traditions of Canada's first nations to the waves of immigrants from across the world who have come to call Canada home, we are a shining example to the world of multiculturalism at work.
We have managed to create a country of tolerance and respect. We have built a nation where we can unite as Canadians while retaining our unique customs, languages and traditions. While we join together as proud Canadians, we celebrate our differences.
Multiculturalism is not always an easy proposition. It can be challenging to understand the perspectives of people who do not share one's background, religion or cultural practices. However, official multiculturalism recognizes that these challenges are well worth overcoming.
In communities across Canada, we recognize that diversity makes us a stronger, more vibrant society.
On behalf of every member of the official opposition, I express our best wishes for another 40 years of celebrating multiculturalism.
The EconomyStatements by Members
2:20 p.m.
Rodney Weston Conservative Saint John, NB
Mr. Speaker, Canada is leading the way. Yesterday, Standard & Poor's affirmed Canada's AAA rating. Standard & Poor's noted that Canada's superior economic situation and strong monetary policy make Canada a stable force amid global economic uncertainty.
Our Conservative government has been focused on what matters to Canadians: job creation and promoting economic growth. This is just another example of Canada's global economic leadership, which includes the strongest job growth record in the G7, the soundest banks in the world, and forecasts showing that Canada's economy will be among the strongest in the G7 this year and next.
However, Canada is not immune to the economic turbulence facing the global economy. That is why our government is working hard to implement the next phase of Canada's economic action plan and its job creation measures. The last thing Canadian families need now is the NDP's massive job-killing tax hikes that would cost jobs and hurt the economy.

Nycole Turmel NDPLeader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, yesterday the Minister of Finance finally realized that his numbers were too rosy, that he had been overly optimistic with his economic projections. He could have saved a lot of time if he had listened to the NDP.
Despite the flip-flop, the minister is still intent on cutting services to people and giving big gifts to big corporations. Why does he not take this opportunity to change direction?

Jason Kenney ConservativeMinister of Citizenship
Mr. Speaker, thankfully, we did not listen to the NDP, because had we done so, we would have massively increased our deficits, our debt, our taxes, and we would really be in the soup.
Instead, we took the responsible course. We paid down debt when the times were good. We have managed to responsibly control spending while investing in the economy during the global downturn. We have cut taxes cumulatively by $190 billion, for over $3,000 for the average family, leading Canada to have the strongest economy in the G7. As well, we have created over 650,000 net new jobs.

Hull—Aylmer Québec
Nycole Turmel NDPLeader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, since the beginning of the session, the NDP has been saying that the government is wrong, that the Minister of Finance has to face the facts and that his projections are too optimistic. Economists are echoing the warnings of the NDP, the IMF and many others. The question now is whether the Conservatives are going to make the necessary corrections, since the minister rather reluctantly had to downgrade his economic forecast.
Will he finally go the rest of the way and cancel the next corporate tax cut?

Mr. Speaker, this government has a plan for creating jobs. That is how it has created more than 650,000 new jobs since the beginning of the global recession. The NDP has a plan for killing jobs. It wants to increase taxes for job creators. We are against this destructive plan that will cut the number of jobs available to Canadians. We are pleased that Standard & Poor's has again today affirmed Canada's AAA rating because of—

Mr. Speaker, despite the fact that the number of homicides committed with long guns has decreased, the Conservatives have decided to turn a deaf ear with regard to the firearms registry. They are turning their backs on women, victims, the police, the victims' ombudsman and the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police. They are even going to destroy the data in their ideological blindness.
Why destroy $2 billion in accumulated information when the provinces and the police want to keep it?

Jason Kenney ConservativeMinister of Citizenship
Mr. Speaker, it is true that we are getting rid of the ineffective and useless long gun registry. I agree with a number of experts on that.
Let me quote someone who said, "I have always believed that the gun registry is a failure in principle and a failure in policy, and that we could have done much better with different policies." Who said that? It was the member for Sackville—Eastern Shore.
Another member said, "My intention is to see the wasteful long gun registry ended." Who said that? It was the NDP member from Thunder Bay.
Another member said, "I've always opposed the long gun registry because I thought it was unfair to law-abiding firearms owners." Who said that? It was the NDP member for Thunder Bay—Rainy River.

Have fun guys.
We learned last Saturday out there that you can expect major crowds near the visitor center, and a traffic jam at the intersection leading down the mountain for the last half mile and to the visitor center. While the visitor center is a nice one, the rest rooms are the only essential thing about it. If you can make a bathroom stop before descending into Borrego Valley, you can skip the frustration at the visitor center and get right on to the flowers.
Bathroom opportunities before descending into the valley can be found at the (tiny) Warner Springs Glider Port, Warner Springs Resort (Golf Club, I think), or at Santa Ysabel.
There is a manned (womaned) mobile flower info station in a parking lot along the road in the valley towards the town square traffic circle in Borrego Springs, so you don't need to fight the parking/traffic at the visitor center.
Download the best flower info before you go, including a map of the roads in the valley so that you can get away from the crazy crowds of people near the visitor center and out into the valley and see flowers away from so many people. We think that Henderson Canyon Road might have a good display of yellow sunflowers. We foolishly skipped that road last weekend, and we regretted it later.
We love to end our trip by climbing up out of the valley to Julian for lunch and pie. Take Yaqui Valley Road (I think it's S3) out from the traffic circle and up the mountain to Julian for a whole different atmosphere. If you have trouble finding parking, go a couple streets behind Mom's Pies up at the gravel parking lot of the Catholic Church ($5 donation).

Lack of control turned Warnock off Forest role
Neil Warnock has revealed that he turned down the chance to manage Nottingham Forest as he did not feel that he would have total control.
The former Crystal Palace and QPR boss was approached by the Championship club to succeed Billy Davies, who was sacked on Monday following a poor run of form that culminated with Saturday's 5-0 loss to rivals Derby County.
Forest have slipped out of the play-offs after a return of just three points from seven matches and the vastly experienced Warnock had been touted as the man to turn their fortunes around.
However, the 65-year-old suggested that talks over the post had broken down.
"I felt that I have to do the job the way I see it being done," Warnock, who was most recently at Leeds United, told BBC Radio Nottingham.
"And I just couldn't totally see being able to do that, so it was difficult.
"It's been a hectic 48 hours. It's a great club. I said I wouldn't have come back (into the game) unless it was an opportunity to get success at a club.
"It couldn't have fitted the bill better with nine games - 12 including the play-offs - to get up.
"In the next 12 games it was a great possibility to get promoted. It got me excited but you have to look beyond that.
"The chairman (Fawaz Al Hasawi) is a lovely man. He loves the club. But I found it very difficult that there was nobody English around the club to speak to that had football experience. I felt it is area they need to look at.
"It's not knocking them because it's the way they do business. It's different cultures but it wasn't for me at this stage of my career. If I couldn't do it how I saw fit then I had better leave it."
A host of other names have been linked with the City Ground vacancy, including fans' favourite Stuart Pearce, who has been out of club management since leaving Manchester City in 2007.

SeatGeek's been around the web for a while, so you might already be familiar with the concept. With the mobile version, though, the developers chopped out a lot of non-essential features. What's left is a focused, easy to use app that still gives us all the info we need to snag the perfect seat.
What does it do?
Gives you data aggregated from a bunch of ticket resale sites (like Stubhub) and polls it together to make one, comprehensive set of listings. Search by performer, event, or venue, pull up a map with every available seat, zoom in to look at prices, and then buy the tickets directly within the app.
Why do we like it?
Buying tickets for sporting events and concerts is a horrible experience. Scalpers buying in bulk usually cause Ticketmaster and Livenation to, depending on the event, sell out within hours. This means you're forced to use ticket resale sites, and with tickets being dispersed across so many sellers, it's almost impossible to get a picture of which tickets are actually available. SeatGeek takes this wealth of hard-to-find information and literally puts it at your fingertips. While the app is somewhat pared down from the web version, the amount of information they do manage to fit on an iPhone screen is incredible. Colored circles correspond to open seats with pricing and additional information below, all in a clean, elegant interface. Non-iOS users, don't fret; an Android version is currently in development.
Download this app for:
- iOS, Free
The Best:
Buying in-app is super convenient
The Worst:
Tickets cost, ya know, money

Waterloo Cabinet and Chest Combo - Tool of the Month
It's Your Man Cave—Make the Most Out of It
Garages are sacred places where men don't have to say excuse me, look before scratching, or worry if their outfit complements their eyes. Filled with old engine parts that should be discarded, oil containers that should be recycled, and boxes whose packing tape lost the good fight years ago, a garage is the last line of defense against potpourri and clean hands. When looking to upgrade your Garage Mahal, the first place you should give a close look is professional-grade tool storage. Tools that are in disarray lead to part installs that take longer than necessary and typically cause spikes in blood pressure. A properly organized toolbox will lead to garage envy by your neighbors no matter your mechanical ability. This month we evaluated Waterloo Industries' 52-inch Professional Series cabinet and chest combo. With this bad boy in your garage, neighbors, relatives, and little kids alike will gravitate to your toolbox with uncontrollable drool.
Here at the Truckin offices, we have a longstanding joke that if you buy a big enough toolbox, you'll figure out a way to fill it. Not that filling a toolbox with quality tools is a bad thing, but with more than 31,000 ci of storage, the Waterloo 52-inch combo will swallow up even the largest of mechanic's tool sets. Nineteen total drawers, each with rubber drawer liners and smooth ball-bearing slides that can support 75 pounds each, mean you can dedicate an individual drawer for screwdrivers, Allen wrenches, Torx bits, torque wrenches, ratchets, hammers, specialty tools, etc. A big perk to such a large box is the 47¼-inch top drawer that is a full four inches deep and can accommodate a full socket, ratchet, and extension set all in one place. Investing in such a large toolbox means you expect quality and durability. Thankfully the Waterloo Professional cabinet and chest comes with a seven-year warranty, has large 5x2-inch casters, and has rugged sidewall-post construction to support up to 1,100 pounds. Other features include an internal locking system for added security and Waterloo's patented Posi-Latch system, which requires a gentle lift of the handle to open the drawer.
During our time with the Waterloo Professional 52-inch combo, we had no complaints and found the box to be well-engineered, well-built, and worth the $2,669.95 price (from elitetoolboxes.com). Whether for the professional mechanic who uses their toolbox every day or for the enthusiast who wants the best for their man cave, the Waterloo Professional box will not disappoint.

Tourism grants for local events to help bring more people to the area
Submitted: 06/13/2013
- The Rhinelander Tourism Marketing Committee wants to keep visitors coming to the area. Each year they give out grants to help promote local events. This year there's an exciting new one coming to the area.The Spine and Sport Centre will host a mini-triathlon to benefit W.I.L.D. W.I.L.D. is a Rhinelander youth ministry group promoting leadership skills. Tim Thorsen from Spine and Sport says this will be an exciting new event for the community."We're just really excited to be able to offer this event to the community, to have it powered by Spine and Sport in the background, but to create some public relations for W.I.L.D., what their mission is, what they do," says Thorsen.The Tourism Marketing Committee has given out nearly $100,000 in grants. It helps local organizations market events that bring people to the Northwoods."Tourism is a big part of our economy and it can't all be done by one organization. And this is hopefully one way we can help to supplement we're able to do with the manpower we have, and to support the other community organizations and events that are happening in our area," says Rhinelander Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Lara Reed.Anyone who wants to apply for a grant can do so in November.The mini-triathlon is August 24th at Holiday Acres. We've put a link to the sign-up below.

As it was said to me, a sport that about 35 people participate in, doesn't garner much media attention. A headline that a cyclist rode across America in a week does and that's a remarkable achievement. Strasser's ride took less time than a train or scenic road trip by car. Paved magazine has the rest of the story.
Christoph Strasser has earned his 2nd Race Across America win, reaching Annapolis this afternoon in a record time (pending certification) of 7 days, 22 hours and 11 minutes with an overall average speed of 15.56 mph, thus becoming the first rider to finish RAAM in under 8 days
And to getting more cyclists involved in endurance events like RAAM, in 2013, they started a challenge series.
For another remarkable ride, see this post about Mike Hall who rode around the world in 91 days.

Child car seats would for the first time have to protect children from death and injury in side-impact crashes under regulations the government is proposing, The Associated Press has learned.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration seeks to upgrade standards for child seats for kids weighing up to 40 pounds, including a new test that simulates a side crash. The agency estimates the standards will prevent the deaths of about five children and injuries to 64 others each year.
Under the proposal, the new tests will simulate a "T-bone" crash, where the front of a vehicle moving at 30 mph strikes the side of a small passenger vehicle traveling 15 mph. The tests will position the car seat on a sled, with another sled ramming the side with the seat — rather than use actual cars, as the aim isn't to test the crash worthiness of specific vehicles, NHTSA officials said.
Research shows that many child deaths and injuries in side-impact crashes involve a car carrying children that is stopped at an intersection, usually at a traffic light or stop sign, officials said. When the car begins to accelerate to go through the intersection, it is struck in the side by one traveling at a higher rate of speed on the cross street.
The side-impact test on car seats — the first of its kind — simulates both the acceleration of the struck vehicle and the force and angle of the vehicle's door crushing inward toward the child. Besides using a 1-year-old-size dummy already approved under NHTSA standards, the proposed test would utilize a to-be-developed side-impact dummy representing a 3-year-old child.
"As a father of two, I know the peace of mind this proposed test will give parents," Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx said in a statement. The test "will give parents and car seat makers important new data on how car seats perform in side crashes."
NHTSA Acting Administrator David Friedman called car seats "an essential tool for keeping young children safe in vehicles and have a proven track record of saving lives."
Safety advocates have long sought tougher standards for child safety seats specifically to protect against side-impact crashes.
"I think this is terrific," said Joan Claybrook, the NHTSA administrator during the Carter administration and later president of Public Citizen. Noting that today's passenger vehicles have eight air bags, in part to protect adults from side-impact crashes, she said, "We have an absolute moral obligation to protect children as well."
NHTSA's estimates of the number of lives that will be saved and injuries prevented by the new standards are "very, very conservative," Claybrook said.
The public will have 90 days to comment on the proposed regulations after they are published this week. The regulations won't be made final until after the agency has reviewed the comments and answered any important issues that may be raised. That can take months, and sometimes years, although NHTSA officials said they hope to move quickly.
The proposal includes giving car-seat manufacturers three years to make any adjustments to meet the requirements. That window doesn't begin until the regulations are finalized.

Narratives of East Asian Women Teachers of English Where Privilege Meets Marginalization Author: Gloria Park

- Price: €29.95
Add to basket (GBP) Add to basket (USD) Add to basket (EUR)
This book is a powerful narrative of how six women experienced their lives alongside their desire to overcome the challenging and empowering nature of the English language. The volume shares who they are as transnational and mobile women living in the midst of linguistic privilege and marginalization. It is one outcome of a research project and the lived experiences which surround and influence (and were influenced by) it. The author documents how she and her research partners began studying what had drawn them to US TESOL programs, and how English was and is a symbol of power and privilege, a symbol of educational access and a pursuit of equity, yet, at times, is also a symbol of linguistic marginalization.
Intertwining themes from the story of her own shifting subjectivities with the narratives of her participants, Gloria Park provides thought-provoking support for teachers and teacher educators seeking to challenge static ideas about how privilege and marginalization are constituted and reconstituted within every layer of identity. An unconventional, fresh, stimulating read!- Suhanthie Motha, University of Washington, USA
Park is masterful at theorizing and documenting the lives of her research partners, and interweaving their stories with her evolving self-understanding of her rich and multifaceted personal and professional identity. This book is essential reading for those involved with the education of multilingual students becoming teachers of EAL.- Manka Varghese, University of Washington, USA
Through her revealing depiction of five East-Asian women in TESOL along with her own candid autobiographical reflection, Gloria Park opens a window onto the internal landscapes of a prominent group within the field who are often unheard and overlooked. She illuminates how transnational identities are (re)constructed through shifting intersections of privilege and marginalization. This work initiates a long-needed conversation around how uninterrogated practices within the academy can marginalize and silence the voices of many.- Sherrie Carroll, Montgomery College, USA
Gloria Park is Professor of English, Indiana University of Pennsylvania, USA. Her research interests include teachers' narrative inquiry and language teacher identity.

Columbus, GA Jobs Report
Real time jobs report data summary. Figures are based on the latest data provided by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS.gov). All jobs numbers are for non-farm employment.
The government shutdown put an $11 billion hole in the U.S. economy, a third of which will never be recovered. However, that does not appear to have affected the rate of hiring. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, total nonfarm payroll increased by 304,000 jobs in January. This smashed economists' expectations of 165,000 jobs added. Job gains occurred in construction, leisure and hospitality, health care and transportation and warehousing.
One thing that the government shutdown does seem to have had an effect on is the unemployment rate, which edged up to 4 percent. Because federal workers will all receive back pay for the days the government was closed, they were counted as having been on government payrolls in January, even if they weren't actually on the job. Most government contractors, however, won't receive back pay. If they didn't report into work, they counted towards the unemployment figure, along with other private-sector workers who were laid off (or weren't hired) because of the shutdown.
The unemployment uptick, though expected, was somewhat disappointing. Another disappointing result of this jobs report is that December's ultra-impressive report was revised down from 312,000 to 222,000 jobs. There was good news in wage growth, though, coming in at 3.2 percent over this time last year.
In fact, the overall health of the job market is well intact. Unemployment claims are at a near 50-year low. Wages and salaries rose 3.1 percent in the final three months of 2018, compared to a year earlier, which is the highest growth since the Great Recession ended in 2009. Even sectors which had previously struggled, like manufacturing and retail, added jobs in 2018.
"This jobs report is showing no evidence of an economy showing, certainly not falling into recession," said Michelle Meyer, chief United States economist for Bank of America Merrill Lynch. "It's still a tight labor market. Employers are still actively [hiring], and with wages ticking up, it looks like workers are getting some more bargaining power."
