Historian George M. Dennison suggests that already by the coming-of-age of the first post-Revolutionary generation, Americans had begun losing touch with the political doctrines and practices of the Revolution.1 Chief among these was the notion that political institutions were meant to serve actual people and were subject to modification, as needed, to that end. This is perhaps why Thomas Jefferson, for example, sometimes would say things to the effect that a little rebellion now and then was a good thing.
By the 1840s, certainly if not earlier many Americans had come to prize and understand order in a way that clashed with contractual, pragmatic, or utilitarian views of political institutions. This is somewhat understandable in a country where rapid territorial expansion by purchase and conquest, a revolution in transportation and communication, and the unbridled power of a largely unhampered market economy had created, for many people, a sense of disorientation and confusion. There was a wild sense of endless opportunity, but also more issues over which politicians and emerging interest groups could come into conflict.
According to Major L. Wilson, expansion into space (the frontier) and time (the future) led some Americans to adopt for their purposes an outlook very similar to what Mircea Eliade calls "the myth of the eternal return." That conception had deep roots in pagan, classical civilization, and had undergone revival in the civic republicanism of Renaissance writers like Nicolò Machiavelli, whence it trickled into the American Revolutionary synthesis by way of English opposition theorists.
In this "myth," a "cosmogonic act" of social creation is followed by a falling-away or degeneration from pattern and then, ideally, by a stage of regeneration or re-founding. This notion helped the ancients deal with the uncertainty of the future. While Wilson finds this to be "conservative" in some sense, he shows that in practice the doctrine lent itself readily to revolutionary projects presented as "restoration."
For a particular Northern political movement, whose overlap with a particular kind of post-millennialist Protestantism is worth noting, this reading of history became both worldview and program. This was the Free Soil movement, whose rank and file largely went into the Republican Party by the later 1850s.
For Free Soilers, the original founding embodied in the federal Constitution represented the height of moral and political perfection. Then, degeneration had crept in, led by the Southern states with their campaign of slavery expansion. The solution involved creating a new political will to stop and reverse Southern aggression, even at the price of a new cosmogonic act, or a re-founding.
Violence and revolution-as-restoration was already implicit in this view. These men were ready for total war and reconstruction, years before the first Southern state seceded from the union. In this crowd, Lincoln was considered a moderate.
The mythic character of this political outlook seems plain enough. One wonders if the Constitution was so perfect, after all. The Free Soilers' pretense that slavery was completely foreign to the original Constitution struck both the abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison and Southern-rights spokesman John C. Calhoun as unhistorical nonsense. For them, the Constitution had clearly recognized slavery, even if they drew different lessons from the fact.
The essential point is that the Free Soil view deliberately blurred the difference between the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, claiming that the latter's purpose was to implement the former. In truth, the Constitution perfect or otherwise was a fairly practical affair designed to accommodate differing states with differing interests.
Now, my interest in this matter is not slavery, the expansion of slavery into the western territories, or the rest of it. My interest is the way in which the Free Soilers' and Republicans' view of history contributed to the most violent possible resolution of the issues on hand in 1860-1861 and then provided a bottomless source of moral rhetoric for the later US empire. As Wilson puts it, the Free Soilers' idea of "regenerating the national ideal involved a 'cultural purge' which, with the alternative of disunion ruled out, truly defined the terms of irrepressible conflict."2
The phrase italicized above underscores, for me, a certain lack of political creativity prevalent in 1860-1861. For many Northerners, the federal union had changed from a means to various ends, to an end in its own right. The union had taken on near-religious dimensions. Yet Americans had once viewed the union as a pragmatic experiment.3 Had that view lasted longer outside the South, we might have been spared our bloodiest war. I mention this in passing, since this is an antiwar site and I deny that any war is above criticism.
Leaving aside the question of whether the union was or was not of transcendent value, what is interesting is the moral posture taken by its Savers. Lincoln and his allies claimed to be working for all Americans, indeed for the future of all mankind, in their military exertions. The ideological fallout is still with us. As Robert Penn Warren noted, victory in this "civil war" one outcome of which was emancipation filled up a Treasury of Virtue, which later US statesmen took as proof of their inexhaustible righteousness in every succeeding controversy.
A narrow, mythic, self-centered outlook whatever its original connection with a good cause, antislavery was became a sort of charter for US imperialism, in the name of imposing universal values. Lincoln's and Seward's rhetorical bits about houses divided or "irrepressible" conflicts served later crusaders well. The world could not remain half slave and half free, said the Cold Warriors, referring (apparently) to geography.
Whether the Cold Warriors had any fundamental causal role in Soviet Russia's collapse seems open to doubt. On our side of the "iron curtain," the Cold Warriors' efforts at centralizing and militarizing America and its allies did bring about a world which is, in fact, half socialist and half free, that is, within countries, rather than between them. This may illustrate the perils of believing, in detail, in an inherited rhetoric.
Criticism of the reigning rhetoric of a successful imperial power is largely unwanted. In a world in which there are supposedly always two, and only two, historical possibilities, one can be seen as standing with the "other side." You don't want slavery or Hitler, or Stalin, or Fill-in-the-Blank to come back, do you? No of course not, old chaps. But that is not the same thing as accepting the many myths, legends, false alternatives, and other claims on which the legitimacy of the current hegemonic power rests.
Typically, more is involved in crusades for universal values than just a sincere interest in the values. There is, after all, the crusade itself. If conflicts were always irrepressible, there would never be any peace. Here indeed is a field for the would-be critical theorists to look at, if they should ever take time off from misunderstanding "globalization."

Like feces in a toilet bowl, anti-gunners are today floating around Congress and stinking it up. Liberals never want a "good crisis" to go to waste. And, therefore, any and every opportunity that they get a chance to smear their enemies, they take full advantage of it.
Right now, they are blaming ALL of their political enemies for spreading "Hate Speech" which is what they say caused the tragedy in Newtown! And, what is "Hate Speech" to Liberals? Well, it is ANYTHING that they disagree with! If a Liberal says that he doesn't like hot weather and you say you do, to him that is "Hate Speech!" If his favorite flavor of ice cream is vanilla and you say chocolate is better, again that is "Hate Speech!"
A few years back, Liberal Howard Dean, then the head of the Democratic Party, said that: "I HATE REPUBLICANS!" Did Liberals consider that to be "Hate Speech?" Of course not! They seldom mentioned it! Another time he said words to the effect that "Republicans never work! None of them have ever held a job!" "Hate Speech?" Don't be silly! Of course, if a Conservative said any of that about Liberals it would be different!
At this time these political GOONS are trying to take away our guns, exterminate Conservative Talk Radio, and control what is placed on the internet. If they succeed, will we have ANY Rights left? Not if they have their way! If they win about all we will be able to say to the President is "SIEG HEIL, MEIN FUHRER!!!

Today's weekly notebook focuses on an assortment of topics in advance of Houston's upcoming game against the Chicago Fire.
Injury Updates
The good news on the injury front is that forward Brian Ching continues to push forward with his recovery. Ching has been at practice this week running on the side, but still is unable to join the full team. With Ching joining Cam Weaver and Richard Mulrooney on the injury report, there are no real surprises. However, head coach Dominic Kinnear discussed the status of both Mulrooney and Weaver's recovery.
"None of the injury guys will be joining us [in Chicago]," Kinnear said. "Brian Ching's jogging. Cam Weaver's not improving, which is unfortunate. [As for] Richard, we're sticking to the timetable we set before two to four weeks."
"[With Weaver and Mulrooney, the goal is] taking part in activities without feeling discomfort," Kinnear noted. "We're going slow with Richard because it's a re-aggravation of the area that he had operated on before, and with Cam it happened five weeks ago so it's taking a little while, but you would rather have them miss another week than two to three. So we're being very cautious with their activity and their reaction to it."
Landín at forward/Mullan at right mid or Mullan at forward/Ashe at right mid?
With forward Luis Ángel Landín coming off of suspension this week, the Dynamo starting lineup seems to come down to a simple decision between Landín at forward and Brian Mullan at right mid or Mullan at forward and Corey Ashe at right mid. Last week, the offense was at its most potent with Mullan playing at forward and Ashe on the right side of midfield.
Though Kinnear hasn't made his mind up—and issues can always come up at the team's final practice this week before the Fire game—Kinnear clearly has a preference.
"Luis comes off suspension," Kinnear said. "The team played really well and we haven't completely decided on it, but my mind is leaning towards the guys that played well on Saturday and let's keep it going."
Lessons Learned at HBU
Like the last game against Chivas USA, the Dynamo enter their next league game having recently played a scrimmage against their upcoming opponents in the preseason. Against the Fire, the Dynamo squared off at Houston Baptist University for an entertaining friendly that ended 1-1.
While the end result was irrelevant as it was a preseason game, the opportunity to have played their upcoming opponents not much more than a month ago allows both teams to have a better idea what to expect on Saturday night.
"It's going to be difficult," goalkeeper Pat Onstad said. "We saw that in preseason, so there won't be too many surprises."
Kinnear was quick to praise new Fire 'keeper Andrew Dykstra for his play in the preseason game.
"When we played the preseason game, he was one the positives of that game," Kinnear said.
"[The advantage is that] you see guys," Kinnear continued. "We've seen Collins John so seeing him on video and live it's not a huge surprise. I think he's getting better as the season progresses. It was a competitive game and you kind of understand what their players like individually."

Themes: Aerie
NOTE: AERIE WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY IN MOODLE 2.3! We are waiting for some changes to Moodle core code. In the meantime, there is a version for 2.3 called Aerie Lite, which is downloadable from Github. Aerie Lite does NOT contain the custom block regions, sorry!
Aerie is a fluid-width, three-column theme for Moodle 2.2, with six extra positions for blocks (three top and three bottom). The custom menu contains a Home link which always appears to the very left, and a My courses and Login/Logout link, which appears after any administrator-added items.
Aerie has a settings page that lets you modify various background colours, custom footer, custom css, and the site logo.
NB: While the theme is for Moodle 2.2, the version.php file contains the information for lowering this requirement. Theme has not been tested in 2.0 or 2.1, so doing so is currently at your own risk. My aim is to have this theme fully compatible with all versions of Moodle 2.

text: With the unusually mild winter, it appears that gardens, orchards, and fields along the East Coast are blossoming and producing earlier-than-usual crops. This includes the Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Waterfront Park in front of the National Aquarium, Baltimore. Its greenery is particularly lush this year, and there are a lot of flowers and fruits for curious guests and foraging birds alike. Bee Balm—Monarda didyma Bee balm, or scarlet balm, is a shrub that grows on the edges or understory of forests throughout the eastern U.S. and Asia. Often used as an ornamental plant, its brilliant red chandelier-like bloom is a favorite for butterflies and hummingbirds. It also has strong medicinal properties and was relied on by Native Americans for its use as an antiseptic and a poultice for skin infections and wounds. They brewed its leaves and stems as a tea to treat mouth and throat infections, as well as gingivitis. Amazingly, bee balm is a proven natural source of the antiseptic thymol, an active ingredient in most commercial mouthwashes! Pitcher Plants—Sarracenia purpurea Pitcher plants are carnivorous plants often referred to as "flytraps." The purple pitcher plant is native to Maryland and can be found in acidic bogs and marshes. Excellent for controlling pests such as flying insects, slugs, and snails, these plants use nectar and scent to lure their prey into their "pitcher death traps." The cylindrical "pitcher" has very smooth and slippery sides and fills with water. Insects attracted by the nectar walk into the slippery pitcher only to fall in and drown. The dead bugs are then liquefied and absorbed as food by special enzymes produced in the plant. Pitcher plants are commonly used in herbal remedies for treating fevers and increasing fertility in women. An infusion of its roots was once used to treat smallpox. Shadbush—Amelanchier arborea The shadbush is laden with ripe berries, providing a much-needed source of food for both migrating and local birds. The next time you find yourself walking in the Inner Harbor area, stop by and check out our fantastic assortment of native plants in the Waterfront Park!

Perform a Planned Manual Failover of an Availability Group (SQL Server)
This topic describes how to perform a manual failover without data loss (a planned manual failover) on an AlwaysOn availability group by using SQL Server Management Studio, Transact-SQL, or PowerShell in SQL Server 2014. An availability group fails over at the level of an availability replica. A planned manual failover, like any Always On Availability Groups failover, transitions a secondary replica to primary role and, concurrently, transitions the former primary replica to the secondary role.
A planned manual failover, which is supported only when the primary replica and the target secondary replica are running in synchronous-commit mode and are currently synchronized, preserves all the data in the secondary databases that are joined to the availability group on the target secondary replica. Once the former primary replica transitions to the secondary role, its databases become secondary databases and begin synchronizing with the new primary databases. After they all transition into the SYNCHRONIZED state, the new secondary replica becomes eligible to serve as the target of a future planned manual failover.
If the secondary and primary replicas are both configured for automatic failover mode, once the secondary replica is synchronized, it can also serve as the target for an automatic failover. For more information, see Availability Modes (AlwaysOn Availability Groups).
Before You Begin
Limitations and Restrictions
A failover command returns as soon as the target secondary replica has accepted the command. However, database recovery occurs asynchronously after the availability group has finished failing over.
Cross-database consistency across databases within the availability group is not maintained on failover.
Cross-database transactions and distributed transactions are not supported by Always On Availability Groups. For more information, see Cross-Database Transactions Not Supported For Database Mirroring or AlwaysOn Availability Groups (SQL Server).
Prerequisites and Restrictions
The target secondary replica and the primary replica must both be running in synchronous-commit availability mode.
The target secondary replica must currently be synchronized with the primary replica. This requires that all the secondary databases on this secondary replica must have been joined to the availability group and be synchronized with their corresponding primary databases (that is, the local secondary databases must be SYNCHRONIZED).
To determine the failover readiness of an secondary replica, query the is_failover_ready column in the sys.dm_hadr_database_cluster_states dynamic management view, or look at the Failover Readiness column of the AlwaysOn Group Dashboard.
This task is supported only on the target secondary replica. You must be connected to the server instance that hosts the target secondary replica.
Requires ALTER AVAILABILITY GROUP permission on the availability group, CONTROL AVAILABILITY GROUP permission, ALTER ANY AVAILABILITY GROUP permission, or CONTROL SERVER permission.
Using SQL Server Management Studio
To manually fail over an availability group
In Object Explorer, connect to a server instance that hosts a secondary replica of the availability group that needs to be failed over, and expand the server tree.
Expand the AlwaysOn High Availability node and the Availability Groups node.
Right-click the availability group to be failed over, and select the Failover command.
This launches the Failover Availability Group Wizard. For more information, see Use the Fail Over Availability Group Wizard (SQL Server Management Studio).
Using Transact-SQL
To manually fail over an availability group
Connect to the server instance that hosts the target secondary replica.
Use the ALTER AVAILABILITY GROUP statement, as follows:
ALTER AVAILABILITY GROUP group_name FAILOVER
where group_name is the name of the availability group.
The following example manually fails over the MyAg availability group to the connected secondary replica.
ALTER AVAILABILITY GROUP MyAg FAILOVER;
Using PowerShell
To manually fail over an availability group
Change directory (
cd) to the server instance that hosts the target secondary replica.
Use the
To view the syntax of a cmdlet, use the
Get-Helpcmdlet in the SQL Server 2014 PowerShell environment. For more information, see Get Help SQL Server PowerShell.
The following example manually fails over the MyAg availability group to the secondary replica with the specified path.
Switch-SqlAvailabilityGroup -Path SQLSERVER:\Sql\SecondaryServer\InstanceName\AvailabilityGroups\MyAg
To set up and use the SQL Server PowerShell provider
Follow Up: After Manually Failing Over an Availability Group
If you failed over outside of the automatic failover set of the availability group, adjust the quorum votes of the WSFC nodes to reflect your new availability group configuration. For more information, see Windows Server Failover Clustering (WSFC) with SQL Server.

Bolbometopon muricatum (Valenciennes, 1840)
Bumphead parrotfish, Double-headed parrotfish, Green humphead parrotfish, Napoleon's fish, Napoleon's fish, humphead parrotfish, loro
The gregarious humphead parrotfish is always found in small shoals, sometimes consisting of up to 75 individuals (1). It feeds on a diet of live corals and algae that grow on the ocean bottom, and uses its large bulbous head to ram the coral to break it into smaller, more easily digested pieces (1). Its beak-like front teeth and pharyngeal teeth at the back of the throat adeptly grind down this food, reducing the hard coral to a paste and breaking down the algae (3). Any hard, un-nutritious material is passed out in the fish's faeces (3). As a consequence, adult humphead parrotfish, which are estimated to consume five to six tonnes of coral each year, produce substantial amounts of sediment and influence the structure of coral reefs, thus playing an important role in the coral reef ecosystem (2). Humphead parrotfish aggregate to spawn at a certain time each month, often around the time of the full moon, in reef channels and passages. Spawning often takes place in early morning (2) (5), when females release eggs to be fertilized in the water by the sperm released by the male. These large spawning aggregations may consist of around 100 individuals. Large groups of humphead parrotfish are also found when they are sleeping. These large fish can live to an age of at least 40 years (1).

Donald Glover was born in Edwards Air Force Base, California on September 25, 1983. He completed his degree in Dramatic Writing from the New YorkUniversity in 2006 where he met his fellow co-stars of Derrick Comedy, Dominic Dierkes and DC Pierson. Derrick Comedy instantly came into the limelight with its hilarious short videos that garnered millions of views. Derrick Comedy even released an uproariously funny movie titled "Mystery Team" in 2009.
However, Donald Glover's talent is not just restricted to perfectly-timed side-splitting comic routines; the man is also a creative genius in the genre of music. He not only DJs and creates fantastic music under his own label mcDJ but also raps and that too fantastically. Interestingly, Donald Glover does not use his real name for music but goes under the pseudonym of Childish Gambino. The name was created during his sophomore year at college when he was hanging out with his friends and entered his name into a Wu-Tang Name generator and the software returned the name Childish Gambino. Donald Glover seriously adopted this name and now uses it officially for his music.
In 2008, Childish Gambino released his first album "Sick Boi". The very wittily-written album with heavy bass and even some hard rock entered Childish Gambino in the world of music with a bang. In 2009, he released the album "PoinDexter". With great songs like "So Much Better", dancing "Hollerin" and the essential love song "Almost There", "PoinDexter" brought the musical and rapping talents of Childish Gambino into further limelight. Creating classy music with breathless lyrics sung at high octaves and offering it free through his website, he became a favorite star for all the hip-hop and rap enthusiasts.
Mixtapes like "I am just a Rapper" and "I am just a Rapper 2" released in quick succession in 2010 further added to Childish Gambino's popularity among his fans. The album "Culdesac" was released in July 2010 and received extensive positive reviews. The fantastic indie hip-hop album touched social issues such as schoolyard bullying, family, suicidal thoughts, problems in romantic relationships and alcoholism and targeted a much larger audience due to these serious characteristics. Even critics reviewed it positively and called it an unexpected delight. After releasing more free music through his website, Childish Gambino signed an official contract with Glassnote Records in August 2011. The first official song "Bonfire" from his upcoming album "Camp" was released in September 2011 and was an immediate success.
No one can deny that the creative performer is getting better and better with each new musical release. He also tours and delivers exhilarating live performances, which are the best opportunity to see this great rapper enact his magical lyrics in front of your eyes. Childish Gambino is a unique rapper with his own style of precisely-timed singing. With his perfect timing, he creates a fantastic bonding of music and words. His live performances are full of energy and he really knows how to entertain his audience. After all, he is a great comedian too and audiences love his concerts even when there is no music! Do not wait to get your Childish Gambino tickets otherwise you will miss a golden opportunity to see one of the kings of hip-hop in action. The environment of his live concert is mind-blowing with an electric atmosphere charged with the excitement of all the fans and resounding with the fabulous music played by great musicians and witty lyrics rapped by a gifted rapper.

Radio broadcasters face being squeezed off the dial as stereo makers offer an array of new apps with thousands of new listening options in new cars.
A far cry from local AM/FM sets of the past, the latest units not only offer satellite or HD radio, but apps that bundle signals from Internet radio broadcasters across the country. The result is that conventional broadcasters are being forced to adapt by emphasizing quality local or targeted content, working different distribution channels or maybe becoming part of a bundle themselves.
The competitive path will only get tougher as the newest stereo units arrive either through new car purchases or the aftermarket.
"AM/FM broadcast, as a technology, will be much more under the gun," says Thilo Koslowski, a Gartner vice president who tracks digital technology in cars. "Content is king. Having a transmitter does not guarantee you're successful."
The avalanche of listening choices is hastened by the arrival of Internet-based radio that lets upstarts compete against big-money broadcasters, much as magazines and newspapers are under assault on the Web by bloggers and other content creators.
So far, though, radio broadcasters haven't see a ratings drop-off, even among younger listeners, Arbitron reports. Nearly six of 10 adults listen to AM/FM radio either all or most of the time they are in the car, the ratings agency says, far ahead of listening to CDs at 15 percent, portable digital players at 11 percent or satellite radio, 10 percent.
Young listeners are driving a resurgence of country-music stations in urban markets, says Arbitron spokeswoman Kim Myers. Radio reaches 23 million teenagers a week.
Automakers have taken notice and don't plan to yank radios from cars. "We see a bright future for radio," says General Motors spokesman Scott Fosgard, who grouses his 22-year-old son listens to a broadcast station "if there's a game on."
While AM/FM is not at "peril," Ford Motor spokesman Alan Hall says "you're going to see more options" for in-car entertainment amid "fierce" competition.
Car stereo makers are picking up on the trend by jamming more apps into their systems. Pioneer Electronics, a large maker of units both for automakers and the aftermarket, lists 35 app choices on its AppRadio site.
On music, a single app paired through a smartphone can have hundreds of listening choices — from personalized music providers such as Pandora or Aupeo, to bundled radio stations such as iHeartRadio or Livio.
As Internet-based technologies gradually take over, AM/FM station owners will have to adapt. Those that embrace specialized programming will do fine, says Dave Garland, a media broker in Houston. "They are trying to figure out how to do it."
Newfound rivals jam car radios
Radio broadcasters face being squeezed off the dial as stereo makers offer an array of new apps with thousands of new listening options in new cars.

We received a LobsterGram, it's less delicious than a candygram, but it's more fun because it comes with live lobsters. We didn't know what to do with them (before cooking them) so we raced them on the Gawker HQ roof deck. Watch.
It was even more thrilling than the video you see. High points: Craggs taunting the crustaceans with melted butter, Barry taunting them with a lobster cracker, and me calling the lobster cracker a "claw breaker."
Great rainy afternoon fun.

Halestorm Cover 'Karate Kid' Theme 'You're the Best Around'
Halestorm are no strangers to covers, having already released one covers collection and recently discussing ideas for a second. But during a trip to an Idaho radio station, the band quickly learned and cranked out one track they might not have had in their arsenal -- Joe Esposito's 'You're the Best Around.'
For the uninitiated, Esposito's song first gained traction as part of the soundtrack of the '80s film, 'The Karate Kid,' and its anthemic drive and association with the movie's montage has made it quite the cult favorite over the years. The track is currently being used as the KQXR morning show theme and during a visit to the station, Halestorm were convinced to record it for the station's usage.
X-Rock 100.3 morning show host Big J tells us, "We had been wanting to get it recorded by a band, but we could only dream that Halestorm, a band we have supported from the very beginning, would do this for us. They practiced the song a few times, and they just not only killed it but had fun with it. Now it gets played every morning for our intro song."
As can be seen in the video, the group did have a good time with it as Lzzy Hale is smiling throughout while checking the lyrics on her phone and Joe Hottinger and Arejay Hale add various backing vocals, grunts and even the ad-lib, "Idaho … I love your potatoes" for good measure. As the track was an acoustic session, the song is stripped back with drummer Arejay Hale keeping the beat with a bongo.
The group also performed their current single, 'Freak Like Me,' acoustically as part of their 'X Session' set. Both videos can be seen below. Halestorm are currently out on tour with Bullet for My Valentine as part of the HardDrive Live tour. The remaining dates can be seen here.

Canadian Association of Fire ChiefsStatements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Terence Young Conservative Oakville, ON
Mr. Speaker, today, on Parliament Hill, we are honoured by the presence of the Canadian Association of Fire Chiefs from across Canada, the national voice for fire services. Many of them have travelled great distances to inform members of Parliament of the successes and challenges of the courageous men and women who, when called upon, put their lives on the line to protect our homes and businesses and save lives.
Firefighters increasingly face new dangers, such as new building materials that burn hotter and faster, grow ops with hydro bypasses and meth labs.
Of 108,000 firefighters in Canada, 80,000 in smaller, rural and remote communities are unpaid volunteers. Firefighters demonstrate the pioneer spirit of community that allowed our settlers to battle the dangers of isolation and extreme weather to build this nation.
We salute all of the brave men and women who fight fires from Labrador to Oakville, Ontario, British Columbia and Yukon for their dedication in the greatest tradition of public service and sacrifice.
First Nations Education SystemStatements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Marc Lemay Bloc Abitibi—Témiscamingue, QC
Mr. Speaker, it is time for the federal government to review its policy, which puts a 2% limit on the indexing of financing for first nations post-secondary education programs.
Furthermore, not only is post-secondary education under funded, but so is the entire first nations education system. Primary and secondary level programs are also suffering, because their respective funding is not being indexed to the cost of living. The fact that the number of students has increased since 1996 is not helping the situation. This has resulted in the loss of several million dollars over 13 years and the situation cannot continue.
I will be presenting a petition today on behalf of Quebec first nation people who are calling on the government to take action on this. The first nations education system is facing a crisis. It is time for the government to do something about it.
Status of WomenStatements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Judy Wasylycia-Leis NDP Winnipeg North, MB
Mr. Speaker, who among us was not horrified by the revelations brought to the House by the member for New Westminster—Coquitlam about the Karzai Afghan regime's plans to subordinate and subjugate women? Not only is this deeply disturbing in terms of human rights but also in terms of the lost potential it represents.
By all accounts, when women are empowered, communities can overcome even the worst conditions. As has been said, the rising of the women is the rising of the human race.
I saw this firsthand in Bangladesh on a trip sponsored by Results Canada. I saw with my own eyes how a few dollars in aid can empower women to lift themselves and their families up out of enormous poverty. I saw women at the heart of the microcredit movement building sustainable economic futures.
I thank Chris Dendys and Katy Kydd Wright with Results Canada for leading us on this journey and showing us that poverty can be solved one step at a time when women are empowered to tackle basic issues like clean water, sanitation and TB prevention.
I also thank the member for New Westminster—Coquitlam for her tireless work in this place, empowering women and fighting for a sustainable, peaceful future. I wish her well on her new journey.
Royal Canadian Air ForceStatements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Brian Storseth Conservative Westlock—St. Paul, AB
Mr. Speaker, 85 years ago today, a royal proclamation gave birth to the Royal Canadian Air Force. In its history of excellence, the men, women and machines of the RCAF have chased the wailing winds and topped the sun swept summits with easy grace in the cause of freedom and justice.
Whether in the swirling skies over London, the dark deadly nights over Berlin, the training airfields of the prairies, the hostile skies of Korea, facing off against the Warsaw Pact in Europe, intercepting potential intruders near North American skies or while dazzling millions of fans with the Snowbirds, our Air Force has been on the job, around the clock, around the world for 85 years.
I am proud to represent an integral part of that history in the fighter squadrons and support organizations of 4 Wing Cold Lake and Edmonton Garrison's 408 Tactical Helicopter Squadron.
Today I salute the dedication of the men and women of today's Canadian Air Force and the courage and sacrifice of those who preceded them. They have truly taken Canada Per ardua ad astra, through adversity to the stars.
Patro Le PrévostStatements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Justin Trudeau Liberal Papineau, QC
Mr. Speaker, the Patro Le Prévost, a community organization located in the heart of my riding of Papineau, is celebrating this year its 100th anniversary.
Over the year, numerous activities will be held to celebrate this momentous occasion. For example, starting on April 15, the citizens and friends of Papineau will be invited to take part in the 2009 cultural exhibition "Art over the years".
The Patro is continuing a long tradition, guided by history and compassion. It welcomes on average nearly 1,000 people per day from all generations and all social and cultural backgrounds.
I want to congratulate the Patro and acknowledge its 100th anniversary. More than just a pool, a library and a series of gymnasiums, the Patro is the epicentre of our community.
An organization like the Patro Le Prévost cannot be successful without the outstanding support of its volunteers, whose efforts and encouragement I salute today.
To the volunteers and to the Patro, we say thanks and happy 100th anniversary.
Parkinson's Awareness MonthStatements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Patrick Brown Conservative Barrie, ON
Mr. Speaker, today marks the launch of Parkinson's Awareness Month across Canada. Over 100,000 Canadians are living with Parkinson's disease today. It is chronic, progressive and results in increasing disability that dramatically impacts individuals, families and communities everywhere in Canada.
Parkinson Society Canada works to educate parliamentarians and policymakers about the needs of Canadians living with brain conditions like Parkinson's. The organization is committed to positioning the brain as a priority health, social and economic issue in Canada, one that warrants increased research and policy investments.
As we launch Parkinson's Awareness Month, I encourage every member of Parliament to think about their constituents living with Parkinson's. This insidious disease affects men and women of every age and they are relying on our leadership to help them live with the highest quality and most productive lives they can.
Finally, I want to pay special tribute to Greg McGinnis of the Barrie Parkinson's Association who has done so much in my region to raise funds and awareness for this important cause.
Women in AfghanistanStatements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Nicole Demers Bloc Laval, QC
Mr. Speaker, a controversial new law in Afghanistan would allow men to rape their wives. This law, which was passed to please the Shia minority, would also prevent women from leaving the house without their husband's permission and would do away with their right to have custody of their children in the event of a separation or divorce. This practice has been condemned since 1993 by the UN High Commission for Human Rights, and this new legislation has been criticized by Afghan women parliamentarians and a UN agency for women.
The Conservative government likes to boast that Canada is in Afghanistan to defend women's right to equality and education. It is inconceivable that the government should do nothing to condemn and correct this injustice. This is a serious setback for women in Afghanistan.
The Conservative government should have the courage to stand up in this House and condemn this aberration and send a strong message to the Afghan government that this law violates its obligations regarding women's rights.
Royal Netherlands ArmyStatements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Rick Dykstra Conservative St. Catharines, ON
Mr. Speaker, today I rise to honour Mr. Albert Hartkamp and retired major, Frans Rondel, of the Royal Netherlands Army from the Thank You Canada and Allied Forces group.
The group helps to ensure that the legacy of Canadian and allied forces in the liberation of the Netherlands never fades and that those who lost their lives are never forgotten.
As the son of two immigrants from the Netherlands who both lived through the second world war, it is an honour to recognize these men.
Along with their yearly commemorative events, they are also organizing a special 65th anniversary ceremony for 2010. This special event will incorporate veterans and dignitaries and will be attended by thousands of Canadian students.
The Thank You Canada and Allied Forces group is ensuring that Canadian and Dutch youth will know the shared experiences of sacrifices made.
So, as they organize a big "thank you" to all Canadian veterans, I call on all members of the House to recognize the great work they do in organizing their tribute to remember those who gave their lives for our democracy.
PauktuutitStatements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Anita Neville Liberal Winnipeg South Centre, MB
Mr. Speaker, today marks the 25th anniversary of Pauktuutit, the Inuit Women's Association.
Pauktuutit has worked tirelessly to address a broad range of health and social issues of concern to women in the north. Issues include the elimination of violence and abuse against Inuit women and children, housing, education, and economic development. It is to be congratulated for its success in advocating for Inuit women.
However, today also is the 10th anniversary of Nunavut.
Nunavut, which means "our land" in Inuktitut, has much to offer the world, with its panoramic landscapes, beautiful people and strong cultural traditions.
However, it is a community that continues to face many social challenges. These challenges must be addressed and the federal government must be there to ensure that the people of Nunavut have every opportunity for success.
NunavutStatements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Merv Tweed Conservative Brandon—Souris, MB
Mr. Speaker, it is an honour to stand before the House today to commemorate the creation of a new territory.
Today we celebrate the 10th anniversary of Nunavut. This is an occasion to reflect on the hard work and dedication of many people, on the many accomplishments that have been made and the many more that will follow.
Nunavut is vast in size, rich with resources, and has grown rapidly in the last 10 years. Our government and this Prime Minister are committed to ensuring the growth and success of Nunavut and the north.
This government recognizes the importance of the north like no other government has done before. Nunavut is well represented through the hard work of the Minister of Health, and this government has committed over $200 million over two years to social housing, $87 million toward a high-Arctic research station, continued growth in federal health transfers, and much more.
Nunavummiut and all Canadians should be proud of a territory that so perfectly represents the true north strong and free.
B.C. EconomyStatements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Alex Atamanenko NDP British Columbia Southern Interior, BC
Mr. Speaker, the policies of the B.C. government have had a devastating impact on my province over the past eight years. Hospitals have been closed, emergency room service reduced and ambulance service cut back.
Rural communities have been especially hit hard. Seniors have been shifted around from community to community, often with tragic consequences. Our medical services plan is contracted out to an American corporation, and a once-profitable BC Rail has been sold off to the private sector.
According to Rafe Mair, a former Socred cabinet minister, the Campbell energy plan will mean the end of BC Hydro and the end of hundreds of rivers.
I call the last eight years in B.C. "an experiment": less government, privatization and deregulation, all part of the global corporate agenda.
Rafe Mair has given his support to Carole James and the NDP in the upcoming provincial election. I urge all citizens of B.C., regardless of political stripe, who wish to stop the systematic devastation of our province to vote NDP on May 12.
Yes, we can.
The Conservative GovernmentStatements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Jacques Gourde Conservative Lotbinière—Chutes-de-la-Chaudière, QC
Mr. Speaker, we have confidence in Quebeckers. Our government is working for the future of all Quebeckers no matter where they live in the province. We hear from them daily that at least the Conservatives deliver the goods and they urge us to continue doing so.
While the Bloc Québécois is busy voting against everything in Ottawa, our government is working to develop Quebec and build its future. Unlike the Bloc, our government does not feel the need to scare Quebec, to divide it in order to better control it, to mislead it or tell it lies morning, noon and night. Our government is working on building, not tearing down. We are looking to the future, not to the past.
Yes, we, the Quebec Conservatives, have confidence in Quebeckers. We are truly there to serve them. On behalf of the Quebec Conservatives, I have a clear message for the Bloc: recess is over.
Royal 22nd RegimentStatements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Claude Bachand Bloc Saint-Jean, QC
Mr. Speaker, the Royal 22nd Regiment is on its way to Afghanistan. It will take over from the Royal Canadian Regiment, which has completed its tour. I had the honour and privilege of training with its members in 2001, then accompanying them to Bosnia. I would like to commend these troops on their professionalism and skill. Quebec can be proud of this regiment. These men and women are completely committed to their mission. Their work and dedication are beyond reproach.
While the Bloc opposes prolonging this mission, it has never doubted these soldiers' bravery. I know that this deployment is hard on their friends and family members, but the cause is noble. I would like to join my Bloc Québécois colleagues and the family and friends of these courageous soldiers in wishing them good luck in their mission.
We admire them. Our hearts are with them. See them soon.
New Brunswick Varsity RedsStatements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Brian Murphy Liberal Moncton—Riverview—Dieppe, NB
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the University of New Brunswick Varsity Reds, who this past weekend captured their second University Cup in three years, with a 4-2 win over the University of Western Ontario Mustangs.
It was the third-year forward, Lachlan MacIntosh of Perth-Andover, New Brunswick, who scored a hat trick to solidify the win in the gold-medal final of the 2009 CIS men's hockey championship, Sunday afternoon, at Fort William Gardens in Thunder Bay.
UNB is the seventh team to participate in three consecutive Canadian Interuniversity Sport finals. The Varsity Reds, who won their first title in 1998, lost to Alberta by a score of three to two in last year's final. In 2007, UNB beat our local team, the University of Moncton Blue Eagles, and won the gold medal.
Hats off to UNB and to all the teams that played, from across this great country, in the national championships for the university hockey title.
Liberal Party of CanadaStatements By Members
2:20 p.m.
Kevin Sorenson Conservative Crowfoot, AB
Mr. Speaker, in British Columbia, the Liberal Party plan is to not help the auto industry, but in Ontario the Liberals have a different plan. One day the Liberal Party plan is to champion the job-killing carbon tax, claiming it must be implemented immediately. The next day the Liberal plan is to distance itself from the tax.
The Liberal Party pretends to defend the seal hunt, yet at the same time the Liberals' plan is to introduce a bill that would ban the seal hunt.
While the Liberal Party pretends to appeal to forestry workers in one province, the Liberal plan is to now call the industry a "basement" industry in another province.
It is clear that the Liberal plan is no plan at all. In these times, Canadians need real leadership with a real plan. They need the Conservative government's economic action plan.
Employment InsuranceOral Questions
2:20 p.m.
John McCallum Liberal Markham—Unionville, ON
Mr. Speaker, while the Prime Minister is urging other countries to do more, here at home the OECD says that another half million Canadians are going to lose their jobs. People in places like Markham and Whitby will be deprived of employment insurance simply because they do not live in some other riding.
When Mark Carney says today that Canada is in its worst recession in 50 years, is it not obvious that the time has come for a national standard for employment insurance eligibility?
Employment InsuranceOral Questions
2:20 p.m.
Souris—Moose Mountain Saskatchewan
Ed Komarnicki ConservativeParliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development and to the Minister of Labour
Mr. Speaker, as I mentioned yesterday to the hon. member, when the EI system was put in place in 1997 with variable entrance requirements, the unemployment rate was higher than it is today.
We have extended the benefits in a series of ways by adding five weeks to the program, ensuring that there is work sharing, ensuring that a number of people will maintain their jobs, and for those who are not able to qualify for EI, we ensure they can take training. We have invested significant dollars to ensure that happens.
G20Oral Questions
2:20 p.m.
John McCallum Liberal Markham—Unionville, ON
Mr. Speaker, 10 years ago, Paul Martin, the father of the G20, pushed for the creation of an international bank monitoring system. That is what the G20 will be talking about this week. Yet before George Bush hosted the G20 meeting, this Prime Minister had no time for the group, saying that the G20's objective was to keep the United States in check.
Will the Prime Minister admit that from the beginning, he was wrong and Paul Martin was right?
G20Oral Questions
2:20 p.m.
Macleod Alberta
Ted Menzies ConservativeParliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Finance
Mr. Speaker, I do not think you would ever hear a Conservative admit that.
Our Prime Minister and our finance minister are participating in the G20 meetings. We have other ministers at G8 meetings simultaneously. This Conservative government is actually putting us back on the international stage and showing leadership, leadership that we have not seen for many years coming out of Canada.
In fact, we co-chair with India the most important committee in the G20. We are leading all around the world.
International Monetary FundOral Questions
2:20 p.m.
John McCallum Liberal Markham—Unionville, ON
Mr. Speaker, if the Conservatives were honest, they would admit the obvious. The IMF is the banker of last resort to the world's poorer countries, but the IMF is running out of money. While Europe and the United States want to double or triple IMF resources, the Conservatives say it is simply not a priority.
Is it not shameful that Canada, one of the richest countries in the world, stands alone in committing nothing to help less fortunate countries get through this crisis?
International Monetary FundOral Questions
2:25 p.m.
Macleod Alberta
Ted Menzies ConservativeParliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Finance
Mr. Speaker, I suppose that would have been part of the plan in the prebudget consultations that the Liberals actually never delivered to the finance minister, how they plan to help people in other countries less fortunate than ours.
As I said in this House yesterday, we continue to support countries that are less fortunate than we are. We continue on our track to double aid to Africa.
We have developed programs in South America with our partners down there, not only in promoting trade with those countries but in development projects there and around the world.
Air CanadaOral Questions
2:25 p.m.
Marlene Jennings Liberal Notre-Dame-de-Grâce—Lachine, QC
Mr. Speaker, Air Canada could be on the verge of bankruptcy. An analyst has estimated that it has a 50/50 chance of surviving. Restructuring Air Canada would mean thousands of layoffs, in the midst of the economic recession. The last time Air Canada underwent restructuring, 3,000 people lost their jobs.
What is the minister doing to protect the jobs of Canadians who work for Air Canada?
Air CanadaOral Questions
2:25 p.m.
Ottawa West—Nepean Ontario
John Baird ConservativeMinister of Transport
Mr. Speaker, we are obviously very concerned when any Canadian company is losing more than $1 billion, as was reported most recently with respect to Air Canada.
Yesterday I met with one of the biggest unions of the employees there and indicated my active engagement with the file. I have also offered to meet with the new executive team at Air Canada. We are very concerned and will certainly keep a watchful eye.
Obviously our concern is jobs, the economy and economic growth. There are many issues in dealing with this problem and we are working on all of them.

A Burger That's Better Than I Remember at The York in Highland Park, CA
The York
5018 York Blvd., Highland Park CA 90042 (map); 323-255-9675; theyorkonyork.com
Cooking Method: Grilled
Short Order: The gastropub aesthetic exercised in proper measure on this very tasty, contemporary burger
Want Fries with That? Yes, please. They're excellent and straightforward.
Prices: Cheddar Burger w/fries, $13
Notes: Every other Friday a DJ spins and the place is wall to wall cool kids. Once a month you can check in on a burlesque show.
Even though The York has only been around for about three years, my memory of the first time I tried their burger feels like a lifetime ago. In some respects, many of the burgers I've had before writing for AHT have blended into a remembrance that is seen through a hazy scrim; that time before each bite was measured and weighed into a count of words or a mass of sentences. The divide that has arisen—the time before my pencil sharpened at the first sign of a grill—makes me want to try the burgers of my past all over again. Will the blurred, impressionistic memories simply sharpen focus like a developing photo, or will they reveal themselves as distortions of time and my mind's frailty?
When a college friend with whom I'd whiled away autumn afternoons talking about literary theory, women, and food (not necessarily in that order) invited me to The York for lunch, I happily pointed my car toward Highland Park—a slowly gentrifying neighborhood just northeast of Downtown Los Angeles—to reacquaint myself with a friend and a burger from my past.
My friend and his lovely wife were already seated in the dark vastness of The York's dining room when I arrived. To be fair, the space is at its best at night when the soaring ceilings are lit by amber bulbs and the industrial-chic aesthetic can show off. On a sunny Saturday afternoon the effect is a little cave-like until your eyes adjust.
We dropped into easy conversation about our lives. He and his wife ordered some very good kale and garbanzos because they were committing to a more sustainable and local diet. It's a responsible and admirable life choice. Of course, I have professional duties that make me a little less planet-friendly. I ordered the burger and made a mental note to buy some carbon offsets.
The York's Cheddar Burger is topped with a sharp white variety of the cheese along with some arugula, homemade pickled onions, and harissa aioli. The bun is a brioche from the very good bakery Bread Bar. The patty is a chuck and sirloin blend that boasts an 80/20 meat to fat ratio. When I inquired about the purveyor, I was met with tight lips—that will remain a mystery.
At first glance the burger didn't show much promise since the bun looked as though it had eaten the patty before it arrived at my table.* My first bite disabused me of my worries.
*One quick side note: The York is an "order at the bar and we'll bring it to you" place. I will never understand why this half-a-waiter set up makes sense to people.
The bun, despite its size, was so light, airy and pliable that it immediately fell into harmony with the seven ounces of hand-packed beef. The grind of the beef had a medium coarseness, and the hand-forming gave the beef a loose and pleasing texture. The char was noticeable, though not pronounced, and the heat and fat of the harissa aioli was fantastic against the pickled onions.
The burger is undoubtedly a part of the recent trend toward upscaling, but the high-end additions add a welcome complexity. Since I didn't remember having any particular affinity for The York's burger before, I asked if they had recently changed the recipe. As it turns out, their burger is one of the few items that chef Dimitri Stephenson hasn't updated over the years. The same might be true of the fries if they were always as tasty as they are now. The slim-cut Russets were flavorful and crispy in the way that makes you wonder why so many places treat them as an afterthought.
The York defied my sense that my memory will always be a reliable narrator of my past. The memory I'd had of their burger doesn't compare to the new one I made on this more recent visit. Perhaps it really has changed since my first visit, but more likely it's me and my faulty recollection. Even my friend, with whom I'd come of age, seemed to be more than I'd remembered; somehow kinder and more sensitive. I remember this simple notion being a fundamental theme of the book In Search of Lost Time we once talked about: "Remembrance of things past is not necessarily the remembrance of things as they were."

Genre: Puzzle
Look closely – and then look again in a game that has you doubting what you see. You'll be presented with two images side-by-side. They look the same – or do they? For each set of pictures, there are ten differences; in one, an item's color might be different, in another, there may be a missing button. How many can you find?
Select an image to inspect. Then select your level: Novice or Expert. Finally, select whether you wish to use a single cursor, or a cursor which mirrors the same location in both images and click Start.
Point and click on locations that appear to be different in each picture. If you're right, one image will correct itself to match the other and you'll receive points. If you're incorrect, you'll lose points.
If you get stuck, you can always click for a Hint that will outline a general location in which to look. Still stuck? You might want to click on the Resign button to get out of the game.

i have an idea i would like to get some feedback on about queenrearing.
i have access to a yard about four miles away that i wanted to set up as a nuc yard.
i was thinking about using the five frame nuc boxes that i alreay have, and splitting each one down the middle with a divider board, thus creating (2) two frame mating nucs in each one.
i like the idea of incubating the capped queen cells, allowing the virgins to hatch in my garage, and placing them in the mating nucs.
i figure if one side doesn't get mated, or if i use or sell the queen frome one side, i can use a couple of 3/8" holes in the divider board to do a newspaper(less) combine, and end up with a five frame nuc to use or sell.
i envision using a yard feeder for these, and robbing drawn comb and brood for my production yards.
i also envision some of the local beeks bringing me 4 frames in their five frame nucs to put virgins into.
do you think this will work?
