Health Canada Releases New Guidelines for Gluten Free
The regulation was short and sweet consisting of one line.
"A food is not permitted to be labelled, packaged, sold or advertised in a manner likely to create an impression that it is "gluten-free" unless it does not contain wheat, including spelt and kamut, or oats, barley, rye, triticale or any part thereof."
Over the past couple of years or so, Health Canada has been consulting with the medical community, researchers, industry and consumers. It has come up with new guidelines to replace the old one line entry and modernize the regulations.
As of August 4, 2012, section B.24.018 of the Food and Drug Regulations will state that:
It is prohibited to label, package, sell or advertise a food in a manner likely to create an impression that it is a gluten-free food if the food contains any gluten protein or modified gluten protein, including any gluten protein fraction, referred to in the definition "gluten" in subsection B.01.010.1(1).
Subsection B.01.010.1(1) reads:
(a) any gluten protein from the grain of any of the following cereals or the grain of a hybridized strain created from at least one of the following cereals:
(i) barley,
(ii) oats,
(iii) rye,
(iv) triticale, or
(v) wheat, kamut or spelt; or
(b) any modified gluten protein, including any gluten protein fraction, that is derived from the grain of any of the cereals referred to in subparagraphs (a)(i) to (v) or the grain of a hybridized strain referred to in paragraph (a). (gluten)
Along with the regulations, they have published guidelines which offer interpretations of what this actually means.
The Mostly Good
One of the problems with the old one line regulation was that there have been some instances where the regulations were not entirely clear or conflicted with other regulations.
For example, it was not clear if seasonings that had some gluten containing carrier would have to list that carrier as an ingredient since one part of the food and drug regulations exempted companies for having to list components of seasoning, natural flavours and other similar ingredients. This has resulted in most Celiacs considering anything with these types of ingredients as off limits.
The new guidelines state: "Based on the enhanced labelling regulations for allergens and gluten sources, any intentionally added gluten sources, even at low levels (e.g. wheat flour as a component in a seasoning mixture which makes up a small proportion of the final food), must be declared either in the list of ingredients or in a "Contains" statement. In these cases, a gluten-free claim would be considered false and misleading."
Health Canada has done a fairly extensive review of the literature and based on this, they have determined that the maximum safe level of gluten in a product is 20ppm. This has been the accepted standard in Canada for years, but this is a reaffirmation of that level.
Based on the available scientific evidence, Health Canada considers that gluten-free foods, prepared under good manufacturing practices, which contain levels of gluten not exceeding 20 ppm as a result of cross-contamination, meet the health and safety intent of B.24.018 when a gluten-free claim is made.
Now I know a lot of people will say that 20ppm is too much and that the number should be much smaller. I believe Health Canada is taking a view to risk vs. benefit; that for most Celiacs, the broader availability of products with the higher threshold outweighs the risk to the portion of the population that react at a lower level. For those who do react at lower levels or those who feel that level is too high, the only option is to look for companies like Kinnikinnick who test to < 5ppm.
One thing, that as a Celiac, I have some reservations about is "With respect to gluten-free foods, only those foods that have been specially processed or formulated to meet the needs of individuals, including individuals with Celiac disease, who need to follow a gluten-free diet in order to protect their health, are considered foods for special dietary purposes and are allowed to carry a gluten-free claim."
On one hand this is a good thing as it eliminates plainly silly claims such as water labeled gluten free, which I have seen. However, taken strictly, this might prevent a mass market company from labeling a product gluten free even if it is.
The guidelines do go on to say "If a food is determined to be protective of the health of people with Celiac disease, and meets the other requirements of Division 24 (specially processed and formulated), it follows that such a food should be able to use the claim "Gluten-free", as long as it is being done in a manner that is truthful and not misleading."
This seems to give companies who are not specifically targeting people with Celiac the ability to label a product gluten free, provided they meet the standards. If that is the intent then I think that's a good thing for Celiacs.
The Not So Good (possibly, actually quite bad)
The one thing in the regulations that raises some red flags is: "If, however, a manufacturer using a cereal-derived ingredient includes additional processing steps which are demonstrated to be effective in removing gluten, then the food may be represented as gluten-free."
My interpretation of this is that companies could be using ingredients based on gluten containing grains such as wheat starch, provided they test below the threshold of 20ppm. If this is the case, this is concerning from 2 perspectives.
Firstly, do we really need to add more confusion to what is gluten free by saying "completely avoid wheat, barley, rye and oats, (except if they are specially treated and contain less than 20ppm gluten)". What are newly diagnosed Celiacs to make of that? How is it regulated, tested and enforced?
Secondly, do we know that intentionally adding gluten based grains to gluten free foods isn't going to be harmful to more sensitive individuals? As with our position with oats (more on that in a minute), we think that intentionally allowing gluten containing grains to be added to gluten free foods is a very bad idea. Our position is that if it isn't safe for all celiacs, it shouldn't be allowed.
The Really Good
As readers will know, Kinnikinnick has been opposed to allowing the use of oats in gluten free foods (even when specially raised and harvested) due to confusion, unknown risks and a clinically proven number of Celiacs who can not tolerate oats in any amount. The link above, along with the comments to the post formed the basis of our submission to Health Canada opposing any change allowing oats in gluten free foods.
We are very pleased the new regulations continue the status quo and do NOT allow oats to be included in products labelled gluten free in Canada. As a Celiac, you will still have the ability to buy and consume oats if you choose to, but they won't be labeled gluten free. As we outline in our previous post, we believe it is a very good thing that Health Canada has kept oats off the gluten free table.
Not Perfect but Not Bad.
Overall, I think Health Canada has done a pretty good job of balancing all the various factors in coming up with the new regulations. For us as a company, it's business as usual. We'll keep producing products in our dedicated gluten free facilities, testing incoming ingredients and outgoing products to <5ppm and providing consumers the safest and best tasting products we can make. As a Celiac, I look forward to being even more confident in products acceptable for sale in Canada that are labelled gluten free.
Now, FDA, about those regulations due in 2008......

Always love your posts on rules, and labeling. I know I write a gluten free blog, but I don't consider myself a know it all. I am sharing as I learn, and I do learn a lot from Kinnikinnick.
I wrote about gluten free/allergen labeling changes when they were first announced by Health Canada.
Your post here really explains it well and clears up a lot of questions.
Thanks guys!

Thank you for a clear and easy to understand take on the new regulations. I regularly eat Kinnikinnick and appreciate this "Gold Standard" in my gluten free world. And I'm also happy about the oat issue.

I'm relatively new at the gluten free game and I admit I'm a little confused. I have an allergy to gluten and also to wheat and spelt. I'm hoping that I read it wrong but it seems in the original wording, an item couldn't contain any parts of wheat or spelt if it were to be called gluten free, but the newer version doesn't seem to set that out. I'm hoping that I'm just not reading it correctly.

Angela the new version does cover this in the subsection
Subsection B.01.010.1(1) reads:
(v) wheat, kamut or spelt; or
and there is no change at all to that. In general wheat, spelt & kamut are all forbidden in gluten free products.
However, your confusion is exactly what I was referring to in the paragraph The Not So Good. The regulations do seem to allow the potential for products made from those ingredients that have been "modified to remove gluten" I think it's a bad idea.
Right now there really aren't many if any ingredients that would fit this classification but there are some on the way. I've recently seen a "gluten free" beer from the US made from barley which claims to meet the 20ppm threshold.

Thanks for this!
With respect to the restrictions around labelling things as gluten free only if they are manufactured for celiacs (sorry - very clumsy paraphrase), I wonder if there is another motive here. Call me a cynic if you like, but I wonder if it's also an attempt to limit the number of foods that may be claimed by Celiacs for income tax reimbursement purposes.
With respect to allowing ingredients that have undergone additional processing steps to meet the threshold, I can think of one product where I have seen this done and many are extremely happy about it. I'm talking about beer! There are GF beers that use GF grains, but some (not me) are dissatisfied with the taste. "GF", because they contain less than 20ppm of gluten, beers made from barley, processed to remove as much of the protein as possible, satisfy these customers.

I have a soap box I get on regarding "processing to become gluten free" Even 1ppm is still too much.
Kozy brand pudding claims GF, but has wheat starch they claim is processed to less then 10ppm. I don't trust it.

Hi Guys,
Long time Celiac, love your products. Just wanted to chime in on this older post and say PLEASE stay with the no oats policy!! Health Canada is going to allow it in 2015 despite their own rationale pointing out that it makes kids and some adults sick. It's crazy!

Pink, a singer/songwriter and the voice behind hits like "Get the Party Started," "Raise Your Glass," and "F***in' Perfect," has been quoted often in the past 11-months about her breastfeeding relationship with daughter Willow. She even had comments on Time Magazine's recent controversial cover.
This month Pink is on the cover of Cosmopolitan, and she talks about breastfeeding right out of the gate:
I'm used to going into the studio and smoking and drinking until three in the morning. But I can't drink as much because I'm breastfeeding. See this glass of wine? Before, I'd have, like, four of them. Now, one is good. Oh, and I quit smoking.
We applaud Pink for making health and lifestyle choices that prioritize her breastfeeding relationship with Willow. But let's get to the nitty-gritty of how alcohol use and smoking can impact breastfeeding.
While four glasses of wine might be a bit excessive, what about an occasional serving of your favorite red? Many moms believe that breastfeeding means a big, red N-O to any alcohol consumption. On the contrary, experts agree that occasionally having an alcoholic beverage is not off the table for breastfeeding mothers. More than 1-2 servings a day can have an impact on your ability to safely breastfeed your baby, so moderation is the key.
Here are some great tips for consuming alcohol carefully as a breastfeeding mother (thanks to Danielle Rigg for first publishing these in her New Year's Eve 2008 post) :
- The rule of thumb is that if you feel drunk, your milk will be drunk too. Remember, although some moms may be able to handle 2 ounces of liquor, or 8 ounces of wine, or 2 cans of beer, everyone's tolerance is different. Since most of you haven't had a drink in about 9 months, you should go slow!
- Ideally, breastfeed shortly before having a drink so you can give your blood alcohol level a chance to come down before nursing again.
- If you get a little carried away, feed your baby some stored breastmilk instead. Your blood alcohol level will be present in your breastmilk, so if you really overdid it, it might be a good idea to have a stash of frozen pumped breastmilk on hand to feed your baby. If your breasts start to get uncomfortably full, you should pump and dump. Don't have a stash of frozen breast milk? In the Ultimate Breastfeeding Book of Answers, author and famed pediatrician Dr. Jack Newman is unequivocal: "the formula the baby would receive–while the mother is throwing away her milk because it has a tiny amount of alcohol in it–is known to put the baby at greater risk for a host of illnesses and problems." If you have further questions, talk to your breastfeeding-friendly pediatrician.
- Contrary to popular belief, "pumping and dumping" does not speed the lowering of the amount of alcohol in your milk. The amount of alcohol in your milk corresponds to the amount in your blood, and the only thing that can lower that is time.
- You can resume breastfeeding once you no longer feel the effects of alcohol; as the alcohol level in your blood decreases, it will decrease in your breastmilk.
Many women, like Pink, stop smoking in preparation for pregnancy or breastfeeding, and we applaud them for that! It can be a tough process, but one that is critical to the health of mothers and their families.
For women whose addiction overpowers their efforts to quit, is it better to keep smoking and breastfeed, or keep smoking and formula feed? One study found that breastfeeding mothers who smoke wean earlier because they think that formula is "safer." But is that really the case?
A mother who smokes puts her baby's health at risk; not breastfeeding compounds the problem by leaving the baby without protection from the problems caused by smoking, as well as other diseases. In Breastfeeding Answers Made Simple: A Guide for Helping Mothers, Nancy Mohrbacher (check out how she was involved in our recent Celebrity Event) highlights several studies in which breastfed babies exposed to second hand smoke were protected from the associated increased risks of SIDS, lower respiratory infections, and all infections. She concludes, "although many smoking mothers consider formula-feeding "safer" than breastfeeding, the opposite is true."
Regardless of feeding method, the impact of smoking is significant, and it's important that moms who are unable to quit take steps to minimize their children's exposure. There are a number of ways to limit the impact of cigarettes upon breastfed babies, such as reducing the number of cigarettes smoked, smoking after breastfeeding to reduce the baby's exposure to nicotine, and smoking outside or in a separate room.
The bottom line:
- If you smoke, quit. Do it for your health and that of your entire family. Get help from your physician or other health care provider to stop as soon as you can.
- If you've tried and can't quit, breastfeed and take steps to reduce your baby's exposure.
So, Pink, we "Raise our Glass" to you and celebrate the positive example you have set for so many breastfeeding mothers!

Space Solutions: Hanging Mirrors Over Windows
If you've got a difficult bathroom space with windows over your sink, rather than the traditional mirror, take a cue from the team over at Young House Love and hang a mirror in front of that window.
Not only does it provide the much needed mirror over the bathroom sink, it adds privacy to a very open, very vulnerable space in the house. I love how it opens up the potential for the various use of spaces in front of windows. I adore the vanity setup in front of the windows in image 2 and I'm considering where in my own room I might be able to replicate this.

Renewable Energy Transmission Initiative (RETI)
California has adopted energy policies that require substantial increases in the generation of electricity from renewable resources. Extensive improvements, however, are needed to California's electric transmission infrastructure to get the electricity generated by new renewable power facilities to consumers.
The Renewable Energy Transmission Initiative (RETI) is a statewide initiative to help identify the transmission projects needed to accommodate these renewable energy goals, support future energy policy, and facilitate transmission corridor designation and transmission and generation siting and permitting. RETI will be an open and transparent collaborative process in which all interested parties are encouraged to participate.
RETI will assess all competitive renewable energy zones in California and possibly also in neighboring states that can provide significant electricity to California consumers by the year 2020. RETI also will identify those zones that can be developed in the most cost effective and environmentally benign manner and will prepare detailed transmission plans for those zones identified for development.
The RETI effort will be supervised by a coordinating committee comprised of California entities responsible for ensuring the implementation of the state's renewable energy policies and development of electric infrastructure, namely:
- California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC)
- California Energy Commission (Energy Commission)
- California Independent System Operator (California ISO)
- Publicly-Owned Utilities (SCPPA, SMUD, and NCPA)
RETI will:
- Operate as a stakeholder planning collaborative and will involve a broad range of participants, first to gather information and advice, and then to build active and consensus support for specific plans for renewable energy and related transmission development;
- Work within the existing planning processes at the California ISO, including any modifications to that planning process resulting from compliance with Order No. 890 of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission;
- Support Energy Commission energy policy development, transmission planning, transmission corridor designation, and power plant siting to help facilitate and coordinate the planning and permitting of renewable energy related transmission and generation and minimize duplication of efforts; and
- Work with the publicly-owned utilities (POUs), investor-owned utilities (IOUs), and developers.

Adobe Air 184.108.40.2060 Beta 2Naviga SWZ: Home Page » News
Le applicazioni possono essere scaricate dall´Adobe Marketplace, disponibile qui.
Note di rilascio:
# New features
* Mouse lock.
- A new mouseLock property has been added to Stage.
- To enable mouse locking set Stage.mouseLock to true. There are several rules which are applied here:
> This property can only be set in full screen mode. It dispatches a runtime exception if it is called in non-full screen mode.
> On mobile settings this property always throws an exception. The reason is simple: This feature can only work with a mouse type of devices and mobile devices do not have such a thing.
> The property can be read in non-full screen mode. This allows developers to easily dispatch to alternative input methods if mouse locking is disabled externally for some reason.
> When exiting full screen mode Stage.mouseLock is automatically set to false.
> Note that while in full screen mode mouse event listeners attached to other display objects but the stage will not be dispatched.
> In other words to receive mouse deltas and any other mouse event while mouseLock is active you need to attach your mouse event listeners to the stage.
* Relative mouse coordinates.
- New properties (movementX and movementY) on MouseEvent.
- When Stage.mouseLock == true:
> MouseEvent.localX and MouseEvent.localY will contain 0.
> MouseEvent.movementX and MouseEvent.movementY will contain delta values.
> MouseEvent.movementX and MouseEvent.movementY are never transformed based on stage transformation, i.e. they always remain in screen space.
> MouseEvent.movementX and MouseEvent.movementY will be 0 when Stage.mouseLock == false.
- Situations where mouse locking is disabled automatically and the mouse cursor is made visible again:
> When the user hits ESC.
> When the window loses focus, for instance when the user hit CTRL-TAB.
> When any settings UI is visible (that includes all privacy dialogs).When a native dialog is shown, for instance a file upload dialog.
* Right and middle click events.
- Just like with Adobe AIR, right and middle click events can now be used to inside Flash Player.
- When a listener is registered to the MouseEvent.RIGHT_CLICK event, the native context menu will not show up, allowing you to create your own context menu.

Performance across these areas by all Ramsay hospitals is closely monitored by Ramsay's Clinical Governance Unit and reported through to the Company's Risk Management Committee and the Board of Ramsay Health Care.
All Australian facilities are accredited using the National Safety and Quality Health Service Standards which was introduced in 2013.
Accreditation is an important driver for safety and quality improvement. Through accreditation Ramsay Health Care has been able to assess our level of performance in relation to established national and international standards and to implement ways to continuously improve our service delivery.
At Mildura Base Hospital we aim to minimise the risk of infection to patients, staff and visitors who come to our facility. This hospital has a number of programs in place to detect and prevent infections that are common within health care facilities.
One of the most effective means to prevent infection spreading amongst patients is for all health professionals to wash their hands.
Lower score is better
Clostridium difficile – is an infection of the bowel that causes diarrhoea and does not cause problems in healthy people. Ramsay Health takes every precaution to prevent these infections from occurring in patients during hospitalization through a well-established infection prevention program.
However, if an individual is unwell, taking antibiotics, taking some cancer medications or medications to supress gastric acid, they may be more likely to contract Clostridium difficile. These infections can be acquired in the community (community acquired) or during your admission (hospital acquired).
The chart shows a breakdown of these infections and where the infection was contracted, as knowing where the infection started can help us prevent the spread to other patients.
Hand hygiene is conducted in accordance with the 'five moments' that is; before touching a patient; before a procedure; after a procedure; after touching a patient and after touching a patient's environment.
Mildura Base Hospital participates in the national hand hygiene strategy through Hand Hygiene Australia. Hand hygiene audits are conducted three times per year.
Visitors to this hospital are encouraged through appropriate signage to use antiseptic hand rub located throughout the hospital.
Higher score is better
The Hand Hygiene brochure has more information on hand hygiene.
The risk of falling increases according to age with data suggesting that one third of people over the age of 65 years have one or more falls a year.
Whilst falls can occur at all ages, the frequency and severity of falls- related injuries increases significantly with age. These injuries can include minor skin abrasions, joint dislocation, fractures and head injuries. These injuries may result in hospitalisation or an increased length of stay in hospital.
The risk of falling can greatly increase when admitted to hospital due to a range of factors including illness and unsteadiness, adapting to a new environment, the introduction of new medications and walking in unsafe footwear or slippers.
In 2015 Ramsay increased the focus on falls prevention in hospitals by appointing a National Falls Prevention Advisory Group. This group has standardized the approach to falls prevention across all Ramsay hospitals by targeting a structured risk assessment, policy and guidelines, equipment for falls prevention and clinical staff education. Our hospitals use a number of strategies to prevent falls and these include: targeted hourly rounding of patients identified as high risk of falling; ensuring that call bells and personal items are within patient reach; call bells are answered promptly and patients are assisted to the toilet at regular intervals. In addition, Ramsay has purchased low beds, falls mats, and patient alarms to minimise the risk patients falling whilst in our hospitals.
Our Falls Prevention brochure entitled 'Keeping on your Feet' has more information on preventing falls.
Ramsay Health Care doctors undertake surgery in many specialty areas which range from minor procedures to more complex surgery requiring specialised care. We monitor our patient outcomes by comparing any unplanned returns to theatre to other Australian hospitals nationally. The aim is to reduce returns to theatre where possible; however there are many factors which influence these returns and sometimes these returns may save a life.
Unplanned returns to the operating theatre are frequently due to complications, for example to treat bleeding or other problems occurring early after the operation. Some complications following complex surgery are to be expected due to patients' pre-existing diseases or conditions and the nature of the disease or condition being treated. Our hospitals monitor all returns to theatre and implement any quality measures which may be required so that our patients get the possible outcomes following surgery.
Medicines are commonly used to treat a variety of conditions in the healthcare setting and therefore it is important to measure the risk of errors. Mildura Base Hospital is continually reviewing and implementing a range of medication safety strategies to further improve performance in this area.
The Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care has introduced a number of safety initiatives for medication administration and reconciliation and Mildura Base Hospital has adopted many of these strategies. This includes the National Inpatient Medication Chart which standardises the documentation on how medicines are prescribed and ordered. Adoption by Mildura Base Hospital of the User-Applied Labelling of Injectable Medicines recommendations has assisted in preventing medication errors related to the wrong route, dose or medication being administered.
In addition, Mildura Base Hospital has medication administration policies and processes in place which have been developed using best practice principles.
Mildura Base Hospital takes all medication errors very seriously. We encourage staff to report all errors no matter how minor they may seem. All medication incidents are investigated and actioned. Any serious medication incidents are investigated thoroughly and monitored by the national Clinical Governance Unit.
Pressure injuries are wounds which form as a result of prolonged pressure to an area of skin. Pressure injuries are recognised worldwide as a common cause of harm to patients and could cause significant pain and discomfort which may result in a slower recovery for the patient.
Mildura Base Hospital is well equipped with the latest equipment to assist staff to prevent these injuries from occurring. Patients are risk-assessed on admission using an evidenced-based tool. Staff follow a care plan which is targeted to minimising a patient's risk of developing a pressure injury for those patients assessed as high risk. This includes inspecting the patient's skin frequently, managing moisture, keeping the skin dry, optimising nutrition and hydration and moving the patient frequently or using special pressure relieving mattresses when needed.
Our Pressure Injury Prevention brochure has more information on preventing pressure injuries.
As part of your hospital admission, you may require a blood transfusion, which is a procedure where you receive blood through an intravenous cannula in your vein. Blood transfusions may be necessary for a number of reason for example: if you have a surgical procedure, you are anaemic or if your body is not producing sufficient blood cells. Blood transfusions can be a lifesaving measure, but is not without some risk and therefore are only prescribed after a doctor has deemed it necessary. Sometimes an adverse reaction to blood transfusion can occur and is treated immediately. Blood transfusion administration and management are governed by the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care Standard for Blood and Blood products.
Higher score is better
For all babies delivered at our Ramsay maternity facilities an Apgar score is completed for each infant at one minute and again at five minutes after birth. The Apgar score is a simple assessment of how a baby is at birth, which helps determine whether the newborn is ready to meet the world without the need for additional medical assistance. It is determined by five characteristics of the baby – heart rate, breathing effort, muscle tone, reflex irritability and skin colour. Each characteristic is rated from zero to two and the sum of these five characteristic is the total Apgar score of the baby. The rating scale is from 1 –10 with 7 and above being considered normal and the baby is in good health. If the Apgar score is < 7 then it is indicating that the baby requires further attention and support from the health professionals present. Ramsay Maternity Hospitals have less babies requiring additional support in comparison to other maternity hospitals, this means we have healthy babies at birth.
Rehabilitation programs aim to enable the highest level of independence (physically, psychologically and socially) to people with loss of function or ability due to injury or disease. At the time of admission into the rehabilitation program the patient has a Functional Independence Measure (FIM) rating conducted by a qualified member of the rehabilitation team. The FIM is redone during and at the end of the program to determine the patient's functional improvement and therefore the level of independence gained in activities of daily living. Progress in the areas of social interaction and psychological wellbeing is also measured. The FIM (functional independence measure) is the industry standardised functional assessment tool that is used by all Ramsay rehabilitation facilities to measure this information. A higher score indicates that the patient has achieved a higher level of improvement in all the areas being measured. Ramsay rehabilitation facilities have achieved higher than industry average scores for functional improvement.
Mildura Base Hospital focuses on listening and responding to the needs of our patients. Your feedback allows us to continually evaluate and improve on all aspects of our performance.
We encourage feedback from our patients via our website; or via our patient satisfaction surveys. It is advisable that you express your concerns before you leave the hospital so we can fix any problems for you. The nurse in charge of your ward is a good start but if you remain concerned please ask to speak to a Director or Assistant Director of Nursing/Clinical Services.
Alternatively, there are a number of other ways that you can voice a concern. Our website contains a link to the Private Patients Hospital Charter and this suggests a number of ways for you to express your concerns.

PCOS history too has a tendency to increase the risk of MC and just in case it has been overshadowed by my low-quality eggs so far I'm still at a higher risk even with DE+IVF.

The Ninja Art Creation Rebirth — Strength of a Hundred Technique is a forbidden technique that is only accessible to those who have mastered the Creation Rebirth technique.
While very similar in nature to its parent technique, which also regenerates the user's wounds via accelerated cell division, the Strength of a Hundred Technique has a continuous, automatic effect that will heal any damage that the user sustains instantly without the need to make hand seals or even a conscious effort to activate the healing process as long as they have chakra left. The enhanced regeneration granted by this technique is so rapid that even the wounds that resulted from the impalement by two gigantic swords through Tsunade's abdomen were completely healed in mere moments after the blades' removals.[3]
Use of the technique also requires the release of the Strength of a Hundred Seal, but rather than just covering the face, the markings extend over the user's entire body. As a testament to both its power and her confidence in its healing prowess, Tsunade has decreed that only medical-nin who have mastered this technique are permitted to break the first three rules that govern their role on the battlefield — which effectively prohibit their direct involvement in any conflict — that she herself established. This makes herself and her student, Sakura, the only ones allowed to break these rules.[4]
This technique's power can be temporarily transferred to another person upon physical contact, as seen when Sakura extended the technique's markings onto Obito Uchiha.[5]
- When written as '白毫', byakugō means 'Ūrṇā' (Literally meaning: Fine White Hair), which is a white swirl of fine hair on the forehead of the Buddha, represented in art by a spiral or a dot, or even a gem or pearl. It represents the third eye which allows one to see past the mundane world and into the divine world. This is a clear allusion to the diamond mark on the user's forehead.
- According to Madara Uchiha, this technique is similar to the ability of Hashirama Senju, in that it heals the user's injuries without requiring hand seals.[6]

Letter to the Editor,
This November 2nd Tama county voters will be selecting a new County Treasurer due to the retirement of long time County Treasurer Sandra Fowler. Michelle Yuska is running for the open position, and it's clear that Michelle is the candidate in the race with the job experience worthy of our vote. Michelle worked for 10 years at the The Principal Financial Group, an investment firm, administering million dollar investment accounts and managing a team of other professionals in the firm. For the past 5 years Michelle has worked in the Tama County Treasurers office, so she has 5 years of direct hands on experience in the office she is seeking, having served in the Property Tax, Motor Vehicle and Drivers License departments. With hands on experience in the Tama county Treasurers office, Michelle will be able to hit the ground running when she is elected to the Treasurers position.
Michelle and her husband Steve were both born and raised in Tama county and both graduated from South Tama County High. Steve and Michelle make their home in Toledo with their three children, Trevor, Allison and Lauren. Michelle has been involved in many community activities, most notably she currently serves on the South Tama County school board. For more details on Michelle's experience, see her webpage at yuskafortreasurer.vpweb.com/
Tama county needs a County Treasurer that has experience in managing and investing large sums of money, experience in managing personnel, experience in dealing with the public, and is dedicated to serving the community. Michelle has a very strong demonstrated history in all those areas, and that's why I support Michelle for county Treasurer. Experience matters. I'm confident Michelle will serve Tama county extremely well in the Treasurers position. I hope you'll join me in voting for Michelle Yuska for Tama County Treasurer.

py3k(python3) more than one year on - 0.96 % packages supporting py3k.
How successful has the transition been to python3 so far?
One way to measure that is to look at how many python packages have been ported to py3k. One way to measure what packages are released is to look at the python package index(aka cheeseshop, aka pypi).
Not all packages ported to python3 are listed on pypi, and not all packages are listed on pypi. Also there are many packages which haven't been updated in a long time. However it is still a pretty good way to get a vague idea of how things are going.
73 packages are listed in the python3 section of pypi, and 7568 packages in total. That's 0.96% of python packages having been ported to python3.
Another large project index for python is the pygame.org website. Where there are currently over 2000 projects which use pygame. I think there are 2 projects ported to python3 on there(but I can't find them at the moment). This shows a section of the python community using it in projects. Most of the things listed on pypi are packages - not projects. It's showing what people are using for their projects - not what their libraries support. In a similar way, it could be good to see how many websites are running on top of python3. I think a lot of the people who have ported to python3 aren't really using it for their projects, but have done the porting work as a good will measure towards moving python forward.
Another way to measure the success of the migration, is to pick a random sampling of some popular packages and see if their python3 support exists.
Pygame(yes), Pyopengl(no), pyglet(no), numpy(no), PIL python imaging library(no), cherrypy(yes), Twisted(no), zope.interface(no), buildout(not sure, I think no), setuptools(no, patches available), django(no), plone(no), psyco(no), cython(yes), swig(yes), sqlalchemy(no).
With some packages being used by 1000s or 10,000s of projects, those popular projects hold back the py3k migration significantly. It would seem that some applied efforts to the right projects would help the py3k migration a lot. Perhaps a py3k porting team could be made to help port important libraries to py3k.
How about other python implementations supporting python3 features? None have full python3 support as of yet. For example jython(no), pypy(no), ironpython(no), tinypy(no), python-on-a-chip(no), unladenswallow(no), shedskin(no). However some implementations support some new python3 features.
How about wsgi? wsgi is the python specification for web gateways... that it specifies how different web frameworks, web servers and applications can talk to each other and out to http. The wsgiref module in python3 is somewhat broken, and the amendments for python3 have not made it into a new wsgi spec. However work is being done towards it with a couple of major wsgi users supporting python3(cherrypy and mod_wsgi).
Another question to ask is: 'are many projects planning to support py3k soon? Or have they decided not to work on py3k at all yet?'. It seems many projects have decided not to put in the work yet. At this point, for many projects they don't see enough benefit towards moving to py3k. Or their dependencies have not been ported, and they are waiting on those to be ported before beginning to port themselves.
How well have the python developers themselves developed the support material for people upgrading their code? It looks like the cporting guide is still incomplete and hasn't been updated in a while. However the CPython API using projects have taken up the slack... so there are now a number of extensions for people to look at for guidance. It's possible to make CPython extensions which support both 2.x and 3.x APIs.
There is now a 3to2 script being worked on. This allows projects to write their code in python3 code, and have it translated into python2 code. The python developers realised that having a 2to3 script was backwards in a way - requiring developers to stick with their python 2 code. However, many projects seem to not use the translation script, since it hasn't worked for them. Instead they seem to have either made separate branches, or made their code so that it works in both 2.x and 3.x.
Support for python3 was dropped, and python3.1 is the new python3. However python3 still exists in some distributions (like ubuntu).
So how are the various OS distributions going with their python3 support? The latest version of OSX to be released (snow leopard) uses a version of python2.6.1. Most unix distributions are using python2.6 as their main python at the moment. However most of them have also packaged python3.x as well. So it's fairly easy for people to try out python3 alongside their python2.x installation(s). macports currently has py25(286 ports), py26(206 ports), py30(0 ports... since py3.0 isn't supported by python.org), and py31(4 ports). So for macports, it has 1.9% of py31 packages ported compared to py25. This shows similar percentage to the ratio of ported packages in the pypi index(0.96%).
This is not mirrored by the number of windows downloads from python.org. Python2.6.2 windows installer had 786400 downloads, python2.5.4(104291), python 3.1(241363) 3.1.1(214871) for a total of 456234 for 3.x. This is around 58% comparing 2.6 and (3.0+3.1). Strangely about the same amount of people are downloading 3.0 as 3.1 - even though it states that 3.1 is the new py3k and 3.0 is not supported anymore. This is just windows download counts for August... if you compare it to most unix distributions, they almost all come with python2.5 or python2.6.
So, is the python3 migration going along swimmingly? Or has it failed to reach its goals(what were its goals if any)? What can we do to help? Should we even help at this point? comments?

I maintain at least two packages on pypi. Both of them would be trivial to port to Py3k. I just made it my mission to be the one who pushes py3k acceptance over 1%! :-)
- Gregory said...
Two corrections:
* Django does not support Py3K and won't for a good while (as per the devs).
* Snow leopard comes with Python 2.6.1

@Gregory: thanks, fixed.

I don't foresee many projects shifting to Python 3 any time soon. It offers almost no benefit for the pain of porting. I think breaking backwards compatibility the way they did might have been good for the language and the core team but it was bad for the programmers and developers using it in their work. If it works just fine on Python 2, why bother?
If it had offered performance benefits over Python 2 I think there might have been a more concerted effort to switch, but so far the response to the benefits offered by Python 3 have been underwhelming.
- Ville said...
Part of the problem may be that python3 is not universally deployed yet. e.g. Jaunty has no python 3.1 in apt repos.
Important progress is happening; pyqt is now python 3 compatible, so you can now develop a full gui app with python 3 (unless you use Tk ;-). The dependencies just need to land in repositories before you can seriously deploy your app.
- Masklinn said...
Libraries were never expected to port to Pyton 3.0, and most people were not expected to switch to it either. That simply wasn't the goal of the 3.0 release.
Library porting efforts are expected to slowly ramp up now that 3.1 has been released and the kinks of 3to2 (note: not 2to3) are being worked out, and to start in earnest by 3.2 (which will probably be released early next year).
There's nothing abnormal to the current low adoption of 3.0, quite the opposite in fact (there's a reason why it's already fully unsupported, less than 10 months after its release), in fact it's all going according to the plan right now.
- Masklinn said...
Now please stop concern-trolling Python.
- j_king said...
Not saying Python 3 is bad of course.
I just see most folks already writing Python 2 staying with Python 2.
- illume said...
@Masklinn: libraries are expected to be ported to py3k. Otherwise it's impossible for others to port their code.
The more libraries that are ported sooner, the more experience people have porting, more people can find bugs in py3k.
I'm not sure where you got the impression that the python developers did not want people to port their libraries? Do you have a link?
It's not written in any peps, and blog posts from guido and other developers discuss issues porting libraries to py3k. How to keep API compatibility during the cross over, and how to try and encourage others to port their libraries to py3k.
Stopping python 3.0 support was unplanned, but is reasonable considering the low amount of users, and how everyone should try and target 3.1.1 now.
- Masklinn said...
> @Masklinn: libraries are expected to be ported to py3k. Otherwise it's impossible for others to port their code.
To py3k in general yes, to Python 3.0 no. Never. Ever.
> The more libraries that are ported sooner, the more experience people have porting, more people can find bugs in py3k.
Of course but that's not really the point. The point of 3.0 was to have it out the door and allow people to check it out, ensure that Python 3 was viable, etc…
> I'm not sure where you got the impression that the python developers did not want people to port their libraries? Do you have a link?
Sadly not, I'm sure you can find posts about that on the mailing lists though.
> Stopping python 3.0 support was unplanned
Uh no it wasn't.
- Masklinn said...
Re links, on news.yc, someone points out to the title of #firstname.lastname@example.com, which to this day says (it's the second item in the title) It's too early to use Python 3.x.
- illume said...
@Masklinn: Great, look forward to seeing evidence of where anyone has said 'do not port your libraries to python 3.0'. It does not state in the py3k pep that they'd drop support for the python 3.0 release. There's no evidence for your claims.
Now please stop making shit up about Python.
- Marius Gedminas said...
setuptools works on Python 3 now? Are you sure? I don't see it in the "Python 3 packages" section of PyPI.
Having once learned enough of setuptools/virtualenv/zc.buildout, I cannot go back and live without them.
- illume said...
there is a page here about how someone has worked on porting it:
However, I'm not sure if it's in the main release yet( the main release wasn't working a couple of months ago ). I expect Distribute(recent setuptools fork) should get py3k support very soon.
- illume said...
hi again, Updated to say 'setuptools (no, patches available). Which is more accurate. I looked into Distribute py3k support, and it's still planned... not finished.
Yes, libraries was supposed to be ported to Python 3.0. However, Python 3.0 turned out to be a bit of an "intermediary" release. And this was not supposed to be, but also not unexpected.
Is Python 3 adaptation going on Swimmingly? No. And the reason for that is twofold: As mentioned above, there is little actual benefit. And secondly, almost all software, both applications and libraries, depend on other libraries, which are NOT ported to Python.
I'm sure there are several big bottlenecks in the porting, but the biggest of them are setuptools, which do not have official Python 3 support and is not likely to ever get it either. As a response to this and other concerns about setuptools the Distribute project has been created. It's a fork of setuptools that aim to split up refactor it and yes, support Python 3.
This is going, if not swimmingly, so at least forward. I would hope for a Python 3 release maybe for a Christmas present.

I've been dying to upgrade to 3.x ever since it was launched, but the underlying libraries/frameworks/ORMS are still talking about years of wait, and I can't find any other 3.x libraries/frameworks/ORMS that serve as alternatives. I think you're right that we need to start at the bottom of the python dependency stack, choosing the frameworks that are most popular, and working together to get them upgraded.
But before all that starts, debian really needs 3.x packages. It's the key to getting a whole host of people wanting to install python3.1 over python2.6 and itching enough that they can't.
- Roger Binns said...
My extension (apsw) has been source compatible with Python 3 since the betas and I have released Windows binaries since Python 3 was released (yes I do deserve a gold star :-)
Since I release Windows binaries and have an approximately monthly release schedule, you can easily see the adoption profiles for Windows users of the various Python versions. It has only been very recently that Python 2.3 has diminished to almost nothing! Have a look at apsw downloads.
- Brandon Craig Rhodes said...
There's a huge issue here that no one is addressing: if anyone does port their package to Python 3, there's nowhere to put it! If you maintain the "foo" package, and put up your shiny new Python 3 version on the Cheeseshop, then — since it will register as the most recent version of your library — it will also be downloaded by everyone still using Python 2.x and horrendously break 90+% of your user base. If, instead, you jury-rig the version number to keep the Python 3 version from being newest, then I have absolutely no idea how Python 3 users will find it.
The situation is intractable until a Python 3 Cheeseshop is opened, and a Python 3 easy_install is available to pull from it. Otherwise everyone in the whole Python community will have to have a "foo3" package in addition to their "foo" package, and won't that look silly after a couple of years? I can hear the newcomers to Python in 2015 now: "It's a cool language... but why does every single package end its name with a '3'?" :-)
Also, this is a great opportunity to replace "pypi" with a name that doesn't conflict audibly with the PyPy project. Let's create a Python 3 Cheeseshop, abbreviate it as something other than "pypi", and then people will have somewhere to start releasing Python 3 packages without breaking their 2.x users.
- Graham Dumpleton said...
The WSGI situation is not as cheery as you make out. There is still so no consensus. My official stance on Apache/mod_wsgi is that it does not support WSGI on Python 3.X. Yeah, there is some code in there which will do something on Python 3.X, but you shouldn't be assuming that WSGI for Python 3.X will be anything similar. Although CherryPy is moving on Python 3.X support, can't say for sure that it even works the same as Apache/mod_wsgi. Thus you have different implementations potentially working differently. Until there is proper updated specification, it is going to be an untenable situation.
I will be posting an absolutely huge rant about this soon which I have spent a few weeks putting together.
- Neil said...
I ported a module written in C to work with Python 3.x 2 2 months ago and found little helpful information. There are some reasonably mechanical changes you can do to implement tp_richcompare rather than tp_compare, for example, but you have to work this out for yourself.
My opinion is that the incompatibilities between 2.x and 3.x have inserted a multi-year blockage into the development of Python. It is much worse than I expected.

The miserable adoption rate and slow library support of python3 you see is the typical growth curve of an entirely new and unknown language. As such, and assuming optimal conditions, python3 will have significant market share under the big 5-6 languages in roughly 8-12 years.
Python3 would maybe have fared better by not associating itself with python, *cough*, yeah that sounds strange, but in actuality, Python3 is a new language/environment, people might be more experimental if they actually perceived it as something new rather then the next iteration.

As long as there is no Python 3 support in setuptools or a an alternative I won't even start thinking about porting the packages I'm involved with.
As for the PyPI issue: this is actually a setuptools/easy_install problem. It always assumes the latest version is what you want, even it is alpha or beta. This is continually bugging me. Everytime a new version of one of my dependencies is released on PyPI, users installing my package via easy_install will get this new version. If it is a C-extension, and there is no binary package for their system and they have no compiler/dev-packages, the installation breaks. Even though a perfectly good binary package of an older version of the dependency package is still available on PyPI.
This is the main reason why I created EggBasket, a minimal package index server, so you can host your own package repository.

SQLAlchemy trunk runs on Python 3.x though we haven't yet added it's tests to the buildbot, nor have we added documentation on how to run the 2to3 tool, but its very easy. There's an "sa2to3.py" script which you run against ./lib/ (and optionally ./test/) to produce Python 3 code.
- Tartley said...
Is it meaningful to construct a dependency graph of packages in PyPI to make visible the priorities for migration.
Things which don't depend on anything, but upon which many other things depend, could be flagged up as significant blockers on the path to migration.
Then the original authors would at least be aware of this situation, and third parties could also make a meaningful decision about whether to step in and lend a hand.
This could be dovetailed with Brandon's idea, making tools such as easy_install / pip, etc 3k-aware could be given an artificially high priority in this scheme.
- illume said...
@Tartley: that's a good idea. We know of at least some major blockers at this point - however we can't know all of the important ones.
There's a few python dependency tools around. python comes with modulefinder which can be used for this.
It's probably a good idea to make a list of 'packages which are blocking lots of other python projects from migrating'.
Like you say easy_install, pip, and setuptools, pypi are probably is *the* major thing to update at this point. Distribute is the answer to setuptools lack of py3k support I think.
Personally, I have looked at what my projects use and have found a few projects which I'm trying to help out. I've picked two major projects to help port, because they are important to me. It's the whole think global, act local idea ;)
- Peter Eisentraut said...
A large-scale move to Python 3 will obviously have to go through Python 2.6 first. That in turn requires that Python 2.5 is no longer relevant for library and application developers. In the Linux world, it usually takes about 5 years before an important software package is phased out (support cycle of enterprise distributions, release cycle of depending packages, etc.). So expect Python 3 to get real traction by then.

So, has anything improved with porting to Python 3 since 2009 when this was written? The posts have a time and no date, so I can't tell how old this thread is.
- illume said...
Louie, yeah things have improved a lot. Most popular packages have been ported over.
There are a few popular packages holding out on their support, like Django and twisted. As well as lots of smaller packages, including ones that are not maintained any more. I know Django has python3 support on their road map. Twisted also has python support on their roadmap.
The tools have gotten better, and python 3 is now the only version getting development (except for security fixes).
However, the majority of popular packages are ported over. Courses are being taught using just python3 for a while now. There is a lot more documentation and community knowledge on porting.
There is a website which lists the most popular pypi packages and shows their porting state: http://py3ksupport.appspot.com/
There are around 550 packages that list themselves as having python3 support out of 16350 packages on pypi total (3.3%).
No other major python implementation has got python 3 support yet. Two of the implementations have lost a lot of development support (Jython and IronPython). I'm not sure if it would be fair to say the python 3 migration contributed to their loss of development funding - I have no idea. pypy now supports python2.7.1 which is makes it much closer to python 3 support. However I'm not sure if there is python 3 support close by on the roadmap for pypy or not.
There are even a couple of linux distros using python3 as the main default python. Because a couple of them got in early, many packages got a lot of porting and testing on python 3 early. The python community owes them a lot of thanks for the pain they went through, so others didn't have to. Also, the people who got stuck in and helped to port popular packages to python 3 deserve many thanks.
OS X (latest release Lion) still does not support python3 out of the box.
There are games coming out on pygame.org all the time which support just python3. However the majority are still python2.
WSGI(the web gateway for python) is now python3 compatible, and the major players in WSGI world are supporting python 3.
The main packaging tools now support python3 well. Including distribute, setuptools, pip, etc.
For me, I do about half of my stuff on python2, because it is better supported in some places. However most of the packages I use support python 3 now.
Quality packages have python 3 support at this stage. It is a great indicator of a well maintained package, and surrounding community.

Actually, pyglet, PyOpenGL, NumPy, PIL, has all been ported to python 3, HURRAY!

SOURCE: La Jolla Pharmaceutical Company
July 31, 2012 07:30 ET
SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwire - Jul 31, 2012) - La Jolla Pharmaceutical Company (OTCQB: LJPC) (PINKSHEETS: LJPC), a leader in the development of therapeutics that target galectin-3, announced today that the FDA Division of Cardiovascular and Renal Products agreed that the Company has sufficient data to support a short-term clinical trial of GCS-100 in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) or end-stage renal disease (ESRD).
"Having FDA accept our data in support of a clinical trial in patients with CKD is a major milestone for La Jolla," said George Tidmarsh, M.D. Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of La Jolla. "We are pleased with our progress and look forward to initiating the study."
"The scientific rational supporting the potential role of GCS-100 in organ failure is very strong," Tidmarsh added. "This kidney disease program will complement our program with GCS-100 in cancer immune modulation."
The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases estimated that in 2008, 20 million US adults suffered from chronic kidney disease, 547,982 were under treatment for end-stage renal disease resulting in 88,630 deaths per year. In total, $40 billion was spent in 2008 in the US on end-stage renal disease. To date, there are no FDA approved therapies for end-stage renal disease.
Initiation of the Phase 1 trial is dependent on the Company first filing an Investigational New Drug application (IND) with the FDA. The study cannot begin before that filing is accepted. La Jolla plans to file the IND this year.
About GCS-100
GCS-100 is a complex polysaccharide that has the ability to bind to and block the effects of galectin-3. Galectin-3 is a soluble protein, over-expression of which has been implicated in a number of human diseases including cancer and chronic organ failure. The unique ability of GCS-100 to bind and sequester galectin-3 makes it an ideal candidate to prevent and treat diseases in which galectin-3 plays an important role.
About La Jolla Pharmaceutical Company
La Jolla Pharmaceutical Company is a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the development of medical treatments that significantly improve outcomes in patients with life-threatening diseases. GCS-100, the Company's lead product candidate, is a first-in-class inhibitor of galectin-3, a novel molecular target implicated in chronic organ failure and cancer.

This week we feature the visits of two researchers, a fish photographer page was updated from the old site, we find out about the predators of the Weeping Toadfish and as always plenty of new fishy content was added.
Martin Gomon from Museum Victoria visited for two days. He examined specimens from the collection for his revision of Australian flatfishes in the genus Poecilopsetta.
John Pogonoski from the Fish Taxonomy Group at CSIRO, Hobart, returned for another day of work on our large holdings of moray eels.
Dr Barry Hutchins (ex Western Australian Museum) has given permission for many of his images to appear on the fish site (see Megamouth Shark and Gulf Gurnard Perch). His photographer page has been migrated from the old site.
During the week we had an email enquiry asking about the the predators of the poisonous Smooth Toadfish, Tetractenos glaber. We weren't successful in tracking down the predators of this species (please comment if you have information), but Barry Hutchins provided some interesting information about Weeping Toadfish predators.

Gnarly Photos of the Day: Mark Hunt's Broken Toe, Donald Cerrone's Gashed-Up Elbow
UFC 160 may have been the bloodiest, ugliest UFC event since "Fight for the Troops" in 2008. MMAJunkie has a gallery of gory photo-highlights that you should check out if you have the stomach for that sort of thing, but we wanted to pass along a couple gruesome shots in particular.
Above, you'll see the destroyed toe of Mark Hunt, who says he broke the piggy during the first round of his co-main event fight against Junior Dos Santos. As Hunt wrote on his Facebook fan page: "Thanks for the support apologies about the result junior was to slick for me. Got a broken toe first round and had no movement, but like i said before if i am going out i am out on my back thanks again 1luv."
And "go out on his back" he certainly did.
After the jump: Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone shows off the literal aftermath of figuratively breaking his elbow off in KJ Noons's ass.Read More DIGG THIS

WPA Convenes 10th Annual All-States Summit: A Wind Powering America Success Story
June 7, 2011
Approximately 110 members of Wind Powering America's network attended the 10th Annual All-States Summit on May 26 in Anaheim. The Summit provided state wind working groups, state energy officials, DOE and national lab representatives, and professional and institutional partners an opportunity to review successes, opportunities, and challenges for wind energy and the Wind Powering America network in the past year and plan future collaborative efforts.
The 2011 Summit began on the evening of May 25 with three regional meetings followed by the summit reception. Mark Higgins and Michele DesAutels of the U.S. Department of Energy and Ian Baring-Gould of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) kicked off the event on the 26th with opening remarks. Ryan Wiser of DOE's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory presented on the U.S. Wind Market, Simon Mahan of the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy presented on Offshore Wind Development Potential, and Victoria Pebbles of the Great Lakes Commission presented on the Development of a Regional Network. This series of presentations provided an overview of current market conditions and programmatic directions of DOE's current stakeholder engagement activities. Higgins stressed the importance of the engagement activities in his remarks, highlighting that "Wind Powering America has been the cornerstone of the wind program's deployment-focused initiatives for the past 10 years, and that's a legacy that I hope to see continue." DesAutels also highlighted the importance of these activities in her closing remarks: "...the promise of wind will only be realized with the concerted effort by many players. That, for me, captures the importance of what Wind Powering America network is all about and why we keep gathering together year after year even through the hard times."
Using the results of the Wind Powering America regional meetings as the basis, the second panel focused on the barriers to national wind deployment and featured Abby Arnold of American Wind Wildlife Institute (Federal Environmental Guidelines), Bob Grace of Sustainable Energy Advantage (Public Acceptance of Wind Technologies), Anne Margolis of Clean Energy States Alliance (Lack of State Markets), Bob Anderson of Western Grid Group (Transmission Limitations), Michael Vickerman of RENEW Wisconsin (The Challenge of Local Planning And Zoning Approval), and Charles Newcomb of NREL (Barriers to Community and Distributed Wind).
"This panel represents the experts discussing the most pressing current barriers to the deployment of wind technology, barriers that must be understood and addressed if the nation is to reach a high level of wind contribution to our nation's energy mix," stated Ian Baring-Gould "We can learn from their work to address these barriers, and that should help to guide activities in each of our states."
Larry Flowers of the American Wind Energy Association was the lunch keynote speaker, presenting on the direction of current energy policy and wind's role in achieving our nation's energy future.
One of the highlights of the annual Wind Powering America All-States Summit is an awards presentation recognizing the accomplishments of peers. This year the Wind Powering America team requested nominations from participants. Team members at NREL and DOE discussed the nominations, deciding on the following awards:
- Outstanding Wind Working Group Award: Nebraska Wind Working Group, for excellence in wind outreach to a broad stakeholder group and for effectively engaging the utility and agricultural sectors
- Outstanding Wind Powering America Partner Award: The NEED Project and The KidWind Project, for dedication in partnering with the Wind for Schools Project to champion wind energy education
- Larry Flowers Award for Outstanding Leadership: Great Lakes Commission, for excellence in developing a new model of regional wind collaboration
- Outstanding Young Advocate Award: Remy Luerssen of James Madison University, for tireless outreach in the effort to advance wind energy education in Virginia
- Small Wind Leadership Award: NV Energy, for leadership and dedication to championing the small wind turbine market in Nevada
- Western Regional Leadership Award: Alaska Wind Working Group, for creative leadership in advancing wind energy in Alaska
- Midwestern Regional Leadership Award: David Loomis of Illinois State University, for creative leadership in advancing wind energy in the Midwest
- Eastern Regional Leadership Award: Sustainable Energy Advantage, for bold leadership and commitment to advancing wind energy in the East.
Following lunch, attendees were able to rotate among tables staffed with experts to discuss topics such as avian/wildlife issues, community wind, economic development analysis, federal loads and lands, shaping the future of Wind Powering America, social acceptance, property values, sound, offshore wind, radar, small wind, state and federal policy, state wind maps and resources, transmission and integration, Web tools, Wind For Schools, and working with co-ops.
The day concluded with a facilitated national barrier break-out discussion on topics including public acceptance of wind technologies, lack of state markets, transmission limitations, obstructive local planning, barriers to community and distributed wind, and regional networks and funding.
To ensure attendance by a diverse set of stakeholders, the Summit follows the American Wind Energy Association's annual WINDPOWER Conference and Exhibition. To allow Wind Powering America's stakeholders who couldn't attend the event to benefit from the panel discussions and presentations, the morning's proceedings were available via live Webcast. Attendees were able to view not only the presentations but also a live video stream.

Henrik Lundqvist stopped 22 shots in a bit of a surprise start, and Ryan Callahan, John Mitchell and Brad Richards provided the offense in the New York Rangers' 3-0 victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday night.
Lundqvist (22-10-4) made his fifth consecutive start for the Eastern Conference-leading Rangers because backup Martin Biron was out with the flu.
This is the busiest stretch of the season for Lundqvist since he played in New York's first six games. He won't be able to rest this weekend, either, because he will be in Ottawa for the NHL All-Star game, but he shows no signs of wearing down.
Biron allowed only one goal in beating the Jets in New York's two previous meetings this season, and Lundqvist picked up where he left off. The All-Star earned his fifth shutout and 40th in seven NHL seasons.
Winnipeg, which lost 2-1 at Carolina on Monday, was outshot 31-22 and fell to 0-8 in the second of back-to-back games. The Jets have been outscored 33-5 in those losses.
New York has won four of six.
Callahan gave the Rangers a 1-0 just 4:05 in when he got to a rebound of defenseman Anton Stralman's shot and slammed it into the wide-open left side of the net for his 17th of the season. The New York captain has three goals and two assists in his last four games.
Winnipeg didn't seem to have much jump in the first period, when it was outshot 11-6, and rarely had control of the puck. The Jets picked up the pace in the second, landing several heavy hits, but still generated only six more shots — none of which seriously threatened Lundqvist.
The Jets' best scoring chance came with 4:36 left when Blake Wheeler tried to jam a shot in, but was stuffed by the post as Lundqvist spread out his pads. The puck skimmed through the crease, and was nearly deflected in by Lundqvist, but he lifted his right leg just in time — allowing the puck to slide by and out of danger.
Just 2 minutes earlier, Mitchell stretched the Rangers' lead to 2-0 with his fifth of the season and third in five games. Michael Del Zotto sent a pass across the Winnipeg zone and hit Mitchell in stride in the middle of the left circle for a hard snap shot that appeared to tick goalie Ondrej Pavelec's glove on its way to the top right corner at 13:22.
Richards pushed the lead to 3-0 with 3:38 left in the game, scoring his 16th this season and first in eight games.
The low shot total was out of character for the Jets, who had outshot their opponents in each of the previous five games — averaging 32.5 per contest.
When Winnipeg put pressure on Lundqvist, he was up to the task. Less than 3 minutes into the third period, Tanner Glass had a chance from point-blank range near the right post, but Lundqvist got over and stopped the drive with his pad and covered the puck.
NOTES: The Rangers recalled G Chad Johnson from Connecticut of the AHL to back up Lundqvist. … Jets C Evander Kane, who missed his third game because of a concussion, was placed on the injured list. Winnipeg recalled F Aaron Gagnon from St. John's of the AHL. Gagnon, who made his Jets debut in place of Alexander Burmistrov, played a total of 21 NHL games the previous two seasons with the Dallas Stars. Burmistrov was injured during the third period Monday. … The Rangers went 0 for 4 on the power play and are 3 for 42 on the advantage the past 17 games. … Winnipeg has killed 20 of 21 power plays the past eight games, but went 0 for 2 with the advantage against New York. … The Rangers beat the Jets 3-0 in Winnipeg's other visit to New York on Nov. 6

We know that hats are usually part of traditional Derby Day outfits, but we are still a little confused by Kate Bosworth's unusual headgear that she wore to the Victoria Derby Day in Melbourne, Australia over the weekend. We can't help thinking that it looks an awful lot like something Cher would have worn in the 80's, and it's a little late for a Halloween costume. Tell us: What do you think of Kate Bosworth's headpiece? Would you ever wear it?
