Revitalizing the Ontario College of Teachers

March 18, 2004 (v.2)

Third in a series of mini-discussion papers prepared for the Education Partnership Table to permit wide input to the direction of education in Ontario

"The Commission believes that the teaching profession in Ontario must now be considered equal to other established professions."
Royal Commission on Learning, December 1994

A fresh opportunity

The McGuinty government believes it is time to revitalize the Ontario College of Teachers.

We believe the premise of the College is still intact - that teachers deserve the privilege of self-regulation. Ontario teachers exercise a significant trust in their everyday working lives by making discretionary decisions about the needs and development of our children and young adults. It follows that they should be extended the respect of controlling how their profession operates to serve the public interest.

Self-regulation in the public interest means to define the qualifications for becoming a teacher as well as the ongoing obligations to ensure continuing competence, high quality and public protection. Previously, the government exercised this power and acted as an outside regulator.

On paper, the mandate of the College provides for self-regulation. Even though a significant organization has developed around this purpose, several key weaknesses have now become apparent. The College of Teachers can be seen as one of the education reforms of the last several years where a useful goal was harmed by poor implementation.

The benefits of a successful College to Ontario students should be obvious: highly skilled, motivated teachers who are held in high regard by the public at large. For this reason, we believe that the problems the College has experienced can and should be overcome. Some of our key approaches are set out below.

Lack of respect for the College by the profession

One of the key missing ingredients for the College is an apparent lack of respect for it by the very profession it is meant to reflect.

In 1997, 32 per cent of teachers voted in the Council elections. By the third Council election in 2003, a mere four per cent of teachers bothered to cast a vote, indicating a profound loss of confidence in the College's stewardship of the profession. While harder to quantify, it is clear that the College has had a demoralizing effect. Its members have come to regard it as an adversarial entity focused on sanctions, not recognition, of the profession.

We believe that the College has structural problems in the makeup of its board that were well identified at its inception. The regulation setting out elections and representation does not give clear control to working teachers. This raises a self- defining question: If teachers are professionals, they are worthy of the trust this implies. If not, why have a college?

Our commitment is to have a clear majority of College board members composed of classroom teachers. Teachers are a mature profession capable of resolving issues and restoring confidence in their College. We understand that working teachers elected to the College may require more support than they currently receive to carry out their roles. We also appreciate that arrangements may have to be made to ensure principals, in particular, have access to peer review by other principals.

The present makeup of the College board has been characterized as two competing caucuses, one appointed by the government and the other elected by teacher federations. An argument has to be recognized that the active influence of both undermines the very idea of an independent body that is capable of upholding the public interest.

As set out by the Premier when he was Leader of the Opposition, it would be our intention to not interfere with a properly constituted College. Further, as a government, we would make only fully qualified, third-party-validated minority appointments. This would ensure the public character of the board as well as representation of minority teacher interests (such as principals, supervisory officers and private schools).

Teachers' federations have a legitimate and important role in pursuing the interests of teachers in discussions of teacher compensation and working conditions. The public protection role of the College, however, inevitably sets up a conflict with the federation role as there will be times when the public interest and the self interest of teachers are not the same.

Having a College that is fully de-politicized is a precondition for its success. This means the practice of running slates and or federation-sponsored campaigns would have to be discontinued. Instead, candidates would be qualified individuals not currently in union leadership positions. This could be achieved by explicit agreement or by non-conflict definitions such as those adopted by the College of Nurses.

At the same time, teacher acceptance for the College would benefit if there were open discussion of real or perceived conflict in the roles of the College and the federations, since the federations also carry out professional functions for their members.

Higher community expectation and confidence

We believe teachers are the most qualified people to set what constitutes professional requirements. They should also define the conduct and practice of teaching, working with the community at large. Only part of this can be accomplished by appointing a strong minority of public members on the board. Current public views of the College are dominated by the reporting of disciplinary actions. There is a role for the College to cultivate a much greater understanding of the public at large towards teaching as a profession and to engage the public in all aspects of its work.

Internationally trained teaching professionals

The government is looking to the College of Teachers, like other Ontario professional bodies to better address the needs of internationally trained professionals. The Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities recently provided the College with new funding for this purpose. The government is interested in further measures that would ensure a true balance between upholding standards for teaching in Ontario and processes that can be artificially onerous for qualified immigrants to become accredited.

Teacher training

The government has advised the College of its intent to introduce legislation this spring to eliminate the Professional Learning Program that was imposed upon the College by the previous government. We strongly believe there needs to be a beneficial discussion about appropriate teacher training and the roles played by individual teachers, school boards, the government and the College. We will be putting forward a separate discussion paper on that wider subject in the near future.

Moving forward

The McGuinty government believes that opportunities to expand and advance the teaching profession were lost through the way that the Ontario College of Teachers was implemented.

It is not our intent to undertake a general overhaul of legislation or mandate, but rather to address the specific key issues identified above. We also do not wish to subject the College to a prolonged period of uncertainty. While it is a great deal to ask, we are requesting teachers, the education sector and the public at large to take a fresh look at its possibilities.

We believe the process concerning changes to the College is important. Given both the lack of opportunities at its inception and some of the negative experiences in the interim, it is very important that teachers and others have a chance to provide input before a final new direction is set. We intend to hold regional round tables and town halls for that purpose between now and the fall of 2004.

Your feedback is welcome and solicited. It should be directed to:

So it would be OK if it really were special chocolate?

| Comments (8) | Food's 10-part expose of NoKA Chocolate is making the rounds. For those of you not familiar with this story, NoKA is a hyperexpensive luxury chocolate, coming in at between $309/lb and $2,080/lb (other high-end chocolates come in under $100/lb). Aside from a flashy box, the NoKA branding comes with a number of claims about the high quality of their chocolate. Here's the relevant FAQ section:
What is Single-Origin Chocolate?
Each NOKA truffle or chocolate contains dark chocolate made of the finest cacao from select plantations in a specific origin. For example, our Vivienté truffle is made from the finest Venezuelan dark chocolate (min. 75% cacao): from the luxurious ganache (center of the truffle) to the thinly enrobed shell and delicate shavings that decorate its exterior - only pure Venezuelan dark chocolate is used. By using only a single- origin chocolate it enables the tasting of the terroir or "true essence of the origin". A fitting analogy to our single-origin chocolate is to that of tasting fine wine - for example, a bottle of Californian Merlot will have a different flavor profile than a French Merlot - the resulting differences are due to a number of factors including soil and climate. The same is true with the finest single-origin chocolate.

How is your chocolate different than other dark chocolate?
Regular dark chocolate contains a blend of cacao from a variety of different origins. Most regular chocolate also contains vanilla, added to round out quality imperfections and create a consistent flavor. We focus solely on the highest quality single-origin dark chocolate and as such there is no vanilla in any of our chocolate. Our passion is tasting real chocolate, in its rarest and purest form, unadulterated by vanilla and any other flavorings.

Anyway, Scott at did a bunch of background research on NoKA. First, NoKA doesn't actually make the chocolate. Rather, they buy pre-made chocolate (called couverture), temper it and pour it into molds. They don't hide this fact, but Scott makes the case that they imply that they have a larger part in the production process than they do (in particular referring to couverture as "semi-refined" when it's the finished product). Second, the claims that NoKA makes about their chocolate aren't that unusual (and not necessarily benefits). A number of chocolatiers can make similar claims. Finally, Scott uses the descriptions of each of the offerings plus taste testing to make a very persuasive argument that Noka's chocolate is simply couverture bought from Bonnat—which chocolate can be bought far cheaper directly from Bonnat (though without the shiny box).

Naturally, this revelation has provoked a fair amount of anger and feeling that NoKA misrepresented their product. I suppose that's true, but say they hadn't. Say they were actually manufacturing the product themselves or had outsourced production to Bonnat with some custom recipe of their own design. You'd still be paying an outrageous price for the product, but you wouldn't have the option of buying it cheaper under a different name. Presumably that's what NoKA customers thought they were getting, right? So, what's the problem?

Here's another way to look at things. Say you're in the market to buy some high-end chocolate. Presumably you buy some small quantities and taste it and then buy whatever you like the best. If after you've followed this procedure you still end up buying NoKA, then either your background research failed (you didn't try Bonnat) or your taste isn't very good.

Say they were actually manufacturing the product themselves or had outsourced production to Bonnat with some custom recipe of their own design

So, if you were purchasing a security product that you thought came with, say, custom attention, (at what percentage price? 25%/year?) you'd be fine with it when it was a third party who provided it.

This is not to disagree that the chocolate market is weird. But misrepresentation, even if only technically/legally OK, isn't OK.

If you're buying NoKA chocolate--or pretty much any high-end chocolate--for yourself, then you're either a complete idiot or so rich that you can afford to completely waste that kind of money. Most likely, though, if you're buying high-end chocolate, it's for someone else--and in that case, the fact that you're spending outrageous amounts of money is part of the point.

An obvious analogy is the diamond market. Why do people pay so much for features that are only discernible under a microscope? If you're buying a diamond for yourself, then chances are that you don't bother. But if you're buying one for someone else....

What I'd like to know, though, is whether NoKA uses single-origin lark's vomit.

Wow. Anyone buying high-end chocolate is a "complete idiot." Amazing. I can think of a few reasons why one might want to go completely overboard and part with a whopping $6 for a bar of Valrhona or even $8 for a bar of Domori or Amadei:

1. That cheap chocolate is made of African Forestero beans, which is hardy, disease resistant, but also a completely different biological animal (or plant, rather) than the Criollo or Trinitario beans produced in Jamaica, Ecuador, or Venezuela. Criollo makes up about 2% of the world's chocolate production, but was the original chocolate that migrated to the new world. Don't knock it until you've tried it.

2. Those cheap Forestero beans (at about $1000/ton) are made cheap by the wonderful economic efficiency of child slave labor. (

3. Cheap industrial chocolate tends to improve it's margins by including a lot of bean hull along with the nib. (Still technically "chocolate", after all.) That hull contains a lot of phenol and fatty acids incompatible with the fats in cocoa butter. Solution? Pregrind the beans, and roast the cocoa liquor very hot. No need to keep the aromatics around that actually give the chocolate flavor.

4. Cheap industrial chocolate is typically refined by a five-roller press in a few minutes, resulting in that nice sandy texture on the tongue. Those evil high end "lark's vomit" producers are deluded into refining their chocolate in stone conches for upwards of 30 hours, producing a noticably smoother texture. It certainly was forward thinking of Rodolphe Lindt to think up that gimmick in 1859 so he could fool people with too much money in the 20th century.

Okay, point taken--you might want to buy high-end chocolate for yourself, if your intent is to pull it out and eat it in front of gullible, impressionable people with low self-esteem, all the while explaining in great detail how much the chocolate costs, what makes it so much better than midrange-priced chocolate, and how much pain your exquisitely sensitive palate suffers on being subjected to anything so....crude as a chocolate bar that only costs a couple of bucks.

But really, why would you want to hang out with such easily-impressed losers in the first place?

So the point of buying chocolate is to find the cheapest variety that you can choke down? In a world where a cup of coffee now goes for $4, and Bugatti can sell out of $1.2M Veyrons that probably will never been driven at their top speed, better chocolate for a few bucks seems like a pretty forgivable luxury.

Should the world be working on a cheaper, crappier, chocolate instead? You can buy couverture with the cocoa butter extracted and replaced by palm oil, which in bulk would be far cheaper than anything you are probably eating now. Should I send you some, to assuage your pain on knowing that you are now a deluded "genuine" chocolate eating snob?

Again, I'll concede your point that there are far, far more efficient ways to waste one's money than throwing it away on expensive chocolate. (I wonder about the Starbucks's example, though--I'm not a coffee drinker, but it's not obvious to me that what you get for $4 from Starbucks is less than half of what you get for $8 from Domori. Is number of beans per dollar a correct comparison? If so, how do they compare? If not, what's the right measure?)

As for when it's reasonable to pay more for chocolate, the obvious answer is: if one can easily distinguish between the best chocolate (by one's own standard of taste) available for $x and the best available for $y in a blind taste test, and it's not economically ruinous to do so, then it's not necessarily wasting one's money to make the choice of paying the larger amount for one's chocolate. I surmise, though, that for the vast majority of the population, the price at which this taste test criterion rules out higher expenditures is a lot lower than the cost of those high-end chocolates you mentioned.

I don't think that beans/dollar is the right number. Ultimately, of course, it's utility/dollar, but since pleasure is hard to measure, let's take doses/dollar. The 2.64 oz (75g) Domori bar goes for around $7. Now, most people would eat a quarter of the bar or so. Let's say it's 1 oz, which is rather more than most people would eat. That's $2.65/oz, which is about the same price as the Economist reports for a tall latte at Starbucks: $2.80.

I used to eat your classic American chocolate bars, like a Kit Kat, Mars bar, Snickers, Milky Way or some Canadian variant like Coffee Crisp or Aero. It seems these cost $0.75 these days. Actually I wouldn't usually buy such bars because I knew I'd eat the whole thing, still crave more, and in the long run gain weight. I did tend to pig out at Halloween or anytime such treats were available such that the barrier of pulling out my wallet wasn't around to bolster my weak self-control.

Around about 2000 I discovered the 70% cocoa Lindt bars, which can cost $3.30 but you can often get them for $2.00 a bar (BevMo used to be quite reliable for this). The startling thing to me was that I could eat a square or two of this and stop. Put it back in the cupboard -- even though it was sitting there, mine, paid for, and even opened! A bar would last me at least a week, maybe more if I didn't get a chocolate craving for several days in a row. So my favourite Lindt chocolate ends up being at most $.50 a "hit", cheaper than a standard milk chocolate bar, and much better for my waistline and guilt complex.

Today I find a have a slight preference for Chocovic Unique Origin bars. EKR picked some up at Trader Joe's, and I said they were better than the Lindt 70% so now they're the standard thing he brings home (such a sweetie, as you all know). Now that I look it up, it appears that although the price to order online is $3.00 to $3.50, Candyblog says they're $1.79 at Trader Joe's. I guess EKR is actually being cheap and here I was all impressed by the money he spent on me!

How to Get an Abortion Safely

Abortions are in most cases very safe procedures, when done properly. The risks to health and life from illegal abortions obtained in backstreet conditions are substantially higher. Thankfully, in the UK it is possible to obtain an abortion legally and safely.

Abortions on the NHS

96% of women have their abortion on the NHS. There are clinics and hospitals that offer abortions all around the country, so the pregnant woman will not need to travel very far. Legal abortions can only be obtained in a hospital or licensed clinics because of the risks of the procedure. Medical staff in hospitals and clinics are there to support the woman, whatever her choice. They understand the difficulty of making that decision and are there to help.

The first step in getting an abortion is to talk to your doctor or by getting an appointment at an abortion clinic. The attendant physician will talk to you about your mental health, physical health, medical history, reasons for wanting an abortion, and how you might respond to it. The pregnant woman is physically examined and a team of doctors will discuss the case individually to assess the legality and appropriateness of an abortion. The legal conditions for getting an abortion are very clearly stated and the doctors will try to avoid an abortion if they can.

Pregnant women who seek abortion are always offered counselling. The prospect of having a baby is terrifying to many (probably most) people, and avoiding the lifetime of responsibility that comes with having a baby seems sensible to women who are struggling. With appropriate counselling, many women choose to keep their baby and look after them, or give them up for adoption. If the woman decides to proceed with an abortion from rape, counselling is offered to help them through what is a universally upsetting process. Supporting women through the process is seen as vital to keeping her healthy and safe.

When the woman has decided to get an abortion after the consultation and counselling, an appointment will be made for the woman to attend the clinic and get an abortion. Most abortions are chemically induced with a dose of hormones that cause the body to reject the foetus and miscarry. Alternatively, there are surgical options, in which the pregnancy can be extracted with suction (vacuum aspiration) or with forceps.

Vacuum aspiration is used up to 14 weeks with a local anaesthetic. This has a quick recovery time and a reduced risk of complications. At 15 weeks, sedation is necessary.

After 15 weeks and before 24 weeks, a general anaesthetic is used to put the woman under for the surgical removal of the pregnancy with forceps. This has a longer preparation and recovery time than chemical or vacuum aspiration.

Once the pregnancy has been terminated, the body is in a delicate state. Most women feel some vaginal pain and experience bleeding. This usually goes away in under two weeks.

Continual monitoring of symptoms is essential to keeping the woman safe. In around 1 in 10 cases of abortion there is an infection of the cervix or womb. This is usually treatable with antibiotics and can be spotted by smelly vaginal discharge, pain that cannot be managed with over the counter painkillers, excessive bleeding, fever, feeling unwell, or lumps in the bloody discharge.

After an abortion, the body experiences wide hormonal swings as it readjusts itself. This is usually manageable but can result in severe mood swings. If a woman has experienced conditions like bipolar disorders or depression, she may be at risk of depression and mood swings.

An abortion is a traumatic event. Many women feel regret and sadness after having an abortion. The counselling offered to women in the UK is effective at helping women (and their partners) through this time.

Discussing an abortion with friends and family is a good way of getting the support for this difficult procedure. While many people do not fundamentally agree with abortion, most people are supportive of the rights of a woman to decide what happens in her own body. In the past, stigma and shame stopped women from getting support during this process and increased the risks as a result.

Unsafe Abortions

Abortions are offered for free in the UK and in some other countries. Although the vast majority of abortions are straightforward procedures, occasionally there may be complications. If the abortion has gone wrong somehow and you are asking what is medical negligence and is it the reason for my botched abortion you should get advice from a solicitor like Medical Negligence Assist.

In many countries the only option is to obtain an illegal abortion. This could involve unsafe surgery or taking drugs that are of uncertain quality or quantity. This puts the pregnant woman at substantial risks. Because of the risk of prosecution in many countries, many women do not go to hospital with their symptoms and can suffer ill health, loss of fertility, or even death as a result.

Some women do not meet the criteria for a legal abortion in the UK and seek illegal abortions. This is dangerous because it not only risks prosecution for the destruction of a child (maximum sentence: life in prison) but has the same risks as women in prohibitive countries experience. If anything goes wrong you won’t be able to take legal action whereas if medical negligence is committed in a legal abortion you could claim compensation.

If you have had an abortion and are concerned about your symptoms, you should contact the clinic or hospital you got the abortion from immediately.

Red Bull Studio CPT: Card On Spokes and Caribou

Posted on August 23 2010

As a part of the avant-garde future-looking Cape Town Jazz scene, performing in bands such as Closet Snare and Babu, Shane Cooper is that rare and brilliant kind of artist who can match his hip-hop swagger and nerdy electronica with true musicianship.

His solo project, Card On Spokes, is in his own words an electronica / hip hop / afrikaanstrumental project performed, much like Mr. Sakitumi, live with samplers, synths and double bass.

The Red Bull Studio happily invited the talented musician to perform and record a live set. The results are true to Cape Town’s long history of cutting-edge glitch-electro-hip-hop with a strong local flavour. Grab a listen and download below:

In the spirit of the best new electronica, have a listen to the Red Bull Music Academy Radio Fireside Chat with Caribou, otherwise known as Manitoba, one of the most prolific artists pushing modern electronic music today:

Who's on the Flowers in your Garden?

Most home landscapes, parks, or other open areas include several types of flowering plants, even if they're only "weeds". Many natural enemies utilize flowers for food or shelter (see article on habitat manipulation). Take a survey in your own backyard to see what flowers you have and what natural enemies are visiting them.

In general, perennial flowers bloom during a relatively short, specific time period, while annuals tend to bloom for much of the summer or until a heavy frost kills the plant. The time of bloom, as well as the flower size and structure itself, may influence which natural enemies visit a plant.

There are a variety of natural enemies you might find on your flowers. Common flower visitors include syrphid or hover fly adults that often resemble tiny bees and hover over the flowers. (The larvae or maggots are good aphid predators.) Green lacewing adults, minute pirate bugs, lady beetle adults and larvae, and ambush bugs are other predators that can be seen on flowers. Parasitic wasps in various sizes and shapes are other frequent flower visitors. On the larger wasps you may be able to see the long ovipositor ("stinger") that the female uses to place her eggs inside the host. Unlike yellow jackets or honeybees whose ovipositor is modified for defense purposes and can sting people, a parasitic wasp can't use its ovipositor to sting people. You may see some of the stinging wasps, such as the paper wasps, at flowers. Count them among your natural enemies, too, since many capture caterpillars or other insects to feed to their young. Which types do you see most frequently and on which types of flowers? Do the types you see vary at different times of the year? Do you ever see these natural enemies or their offspring at work in your garden or yard eating or parasitizing pests?

Printed Circuit Board Etching Process

Dated：2018-03-28      Popularity：1371

At present, pattern plating is the typical PCB etching process during the whole printed circuit board (PCB) production. A tin-lead resist layer is pre-plated on the copper foil part that needs to be kept on the outer layer of the board. The remaining copper foil is then chemically etched away, this process is known as etching.

It should be noted that there are two layers of copper on the board during etching. Only one layer of copper in the outer layer must be etched away, and the rest will form the final required circuit. The feature of this type of pattern plating is that the copper plating layer only exists under the lead tin resist layer.

Another method is to plate copper on the entire board. The only part other than the photo-sensitive film is the tin or lead-tin resist layer. This process is called full-plate copper plating process. The biggest drawback of full-plate copper plating compared to pattern plating is that its surface must be plated with copper twice and must be etched away. Therefore, when the wire width is very fine, a series of problems will arise. At the same time, side corrosion can seriously affect the uniformity of the lines.

Currently, tin or lead tin is the most commonly used for resist layer used in the etching process of ammonia etching agents. Ammonia etchant is a commonly used chemical liquid that does not react chemically with tin or lead tin. Ammonia etchant mainly refers to ammonia/chlorinated ammonia etching solution.

Gulf spill: Worse than Exxon Valdez?

The oil leak triggered by a deadly rig blast off the coast of Louisiana has the potential to cause more environmental damage than the 1989 Exxon Valdez spill, one of the largest ecological disasters ever recorded, some observers say.

“As it is now, it’s already looking like this could be the worst oil spill since the Valdez,” John Hocevar, oceans campaign director for Greenpeace USA, told msnbc.com on Thursday.

“It’s quite possible this will end up being worse than the Valdez in terms of environmental impact since it seems like BP will be unable to cap the spill for months. In terms of total quantity of oil released, it seems this will probably fall short of Exxon Valdez. But because of the habitat, the environmental impact will be worse.”

“Probably the only thing comparable to this is the Kuwait fires [following the Gulf War in 1991],” Mike Miller, head of Canadian oil well fire-fighting company Safety Boss, told the BBC World Service.

“The Exxon Valdez is going to pale in comparison to this as it goes on.”

The spill was triggered by an explosion last week off the Louisiana coast that sank an oil rig operated by BP. Eleven workers are missing and presumed dead.

So far the leak from a blown-out well 5,000 feet under the sea is not nearly as big as the Exxon Valdez disaster, which spilled about 11 million gallons of oil into Alaska’s Prince William Sound 21 years ago. BP’s well is spewing about 210,000 gallons of oil a day into the ocean, the Coast Guard estimates.

But if the leak is not capped, millions of gallons of oil could spill into the Gulf of Mexico. The environmental impact could be disastrous if the oil reaches the ecologically fragile U.S. coastline.

Also see: “Gulf oil spill could reach shore Thursday night.”

Republicans fold

The Republicans have finally recognized the futility of putting the interests of their billionaire buddies on Wall Street ahead of Main Street America…

GOP abandons blockade of banking regulation bill

Republicans abandoned their blockade against legislation to clamp tough new controls on Wall Street Wednesday, clearing a road to likely passage for the most sweeping rewrite of financial rules since the Great Depression.

Democrats and Republicans agree the Senate will ultimately pass landmark changes aimed at preventing a recurrence of the crisis that knocked the nation’s financial system to its knees in 2008, but the battle now begins over crucial details. The House has already passed its version.

Democrats said the Republicans had given in after three days of votes to block debate, realizing they were on the losing end of a battle for public opinion. GOP lawmakers said they would now switch to trying to change the bill on the Senate floor.

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., said, “There’s been immense pressure bottled up inside the Republican caucus through these last three votes. A lot of their members have been very deeply unhappy with the direction their leadership has been taking them. Better heads prevailed.”

Democrats had threatened to hold the Senate in session all night making their case that the Republicans were stalling legislation of importance to virtually every American. The Democrats also have been laying plans to make the legislation a major issue in midterm elections this summer and fall. The Republican retreat came one day after senior executives of Wall Street giant Goldman Sachs were denounced by lawmakers from both parties at a marathon Senate hearing.

It seems that all you have to do to pound some sense into their thick heads is threaten to keep them up all night.

Apr 262010

There are 100 senators in the United States Senate, two representing each of the 50 states that make up our union. Forty-one of those senators voted this evening to block financial reform. As we all know, in a democracy such as ours, the will of the majority prevails. As we are all also aware, forty-one of one hundred is a majority. The United States Senate is a very strange institution.

It doesn’t really matter, because financial reform will pass and President Obama will sign it into law. The Republicans are throwing another of their tantrums.

If you see one or both of your senators pictured, it would behoove you to seek another senator at the earliest opportunity.

Remarks by the President on Wall Street Reform

Now, since I last spoke here two years ago, our country has been through a terrible trial. More than 8 million people have lost their jobs. Countless small businesses have had to shut their doors. Trillions of dollars in savings have been lost — forcing seniors to put off retirement, young people to postpone college, entrepreneurs to give up on the dream of starting a company. And as a nation we were forced to take unprecedented steps to rescue the financial system and the broader economy.

And as a result of the decisions we made — some of which, let’s face it, were very unpopular — we are seeing hopeful signs. A little more than one year ago we were losing an average of 750,000 jobs each month. Today, America is adding jobs again. One year ago the economy was shrinking rapidly. Today the economy is growing. In fact, we’ve seen the fastest turnaround in growth in nearly three decades.

But you’re here and I’m here because we’ve got more work to do. Until this progress is felt not just on Wall Street but on Main Street we cannot be satisfied. Until the millions of our neighbors who are looking for work can find a job, and wages are growing at a meaningful pace, we may be able to claim a technical recovery — but we will not have truly recovered. And even as we seek to revive this economy, it’s also incumbent on us to rebuild it stronger than before. We don’t want an economy that has the same weaknesses that led to this crisis. And that means addressing some of the underlying problems that led to this turmoil and devastation in the first place.

Michigan State to pay $500M to survivors of Larry Nassar's abuse

Nassar survivor Lemke hoping for change after MSU settlement (2:46)

Larry Nassar victim Lindsey Lemke breaks down the process leading to a $500 million settlement from Michigan State to survivors of Nassar's sexual abuse. (2:46)

Michigan State will pay $500 million to survivors of Larry Nassar's sexual abuse in what is believed to be the largest settlement ever in a sexual misconduct case involving a university.

Attorneys representing 332 claimants reached an agreement with representatives from Michigan State during a mediation meeting Tuesday afternoon. The university's board of trustees agreed to the deal in principle. The settlement did not include provisions about policy or acknowledge the claims made against Michigan State.

Michigan State's agreement stipulates that $425 million will be distributed to claimants who are currently part of the lawsuits. An allocator will determine how much each person will receive. The remaining $75 million will be held in reserve for two years in the event that others come forward and make claims about Nassar's abuse. The settlement did not require any of the claimants to sign nondisclosure agreements.

"I'm very happy that we're done with litigation," said former gymnast Rachael Denhollander, the first woman to publicly accuse Nassar of sexual abuse more than 18 months ago. "I'm very grateful for the historic number that acknowledges some of the hardships that these women have suffered. I'm also very disappointed in a missed opportunity to create meaningful policy changes."

The deal surpasses the $100 million-plus paid by Penn State University to settle claims by at least 35 people who accused assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky of sexual abuse. The Nassar deal involves far more survivors.

"We are truly sorry to all the survivors and their families for what they have been through, and we admire the courage it has taken to tell their stories,'' said Brian Breslin, chairman of Michigan State's governing board. "We recognize the need for change on our campus and in our community around sexual assault awareness and prevention.''

University spokeswoman Emily Guerrant said school leaders will now work on a way to pay the bill.

As part of a plea deal, Nassar was sentenced to up to 175 years in state prison for criminal sexual conduct. More than 200 people provided victim impact statements at his sentencing hearings in January. He is currently serving a 60-year federal prison sentence after pleading guilty to child pornography charges.

The lawsuits claim that Nassar sexually abused his patients, many of them young female athletes, for more than two decades. They say that the other defendants had opportunities to put an end to Nassar's abuse and failed to do so. They argued that those organizations were accountable for allowing the former doctor to prey on young women for as long as he did.

"This historic settlement came about through the bravery of more than 300 women and girls who had the courage to stand up and refuse to be silenced. We appreciate the diligent efforts of Mick Grewal and the survivors' attorneys across the nation who worked to obtain this measure of justice and healing. We also thank the mediator and all who participated in crafting this settlement," attorney John Manly said.

"It is the sincere hope of all of the survivors that the legacy of this settlement will be far-reaching institutional reform that will end the threat of sexual assault in sports, schools and throughout our society."

Also named as defendants in the lawsuits are USA Gymnastics; the U.S. Olympic Committee; Twistars, a local gym where Nassar saw patients on a weekly basis; and specific individuals at some of those institutions. Those parties have not yet reached a settlement agreement.

Michigan's attorney general's office said Wednesday that it will continue its ongoing investigation into whether anyone else at the university committed any crimes while dealing with Nassar.

"We're not done," said attorney David Mittleman, who represents dozens of the survivors. "This is an agreement that I think is in the best interest of all the parties and we look forward to continued dialogue with USAG, USOC and Twistars. We do believe they were enablers and complicit in allowing this to happen."

Mittleman said there are no dates scheduled for future negotiations with those groups. He's hopeful that the process will move faster now that Michigan State has reached a settlement, but he said he hasn't seen the same level of motivation to finish the process quickly from those other parties.

Attorneys for both sides met this week in California to hash out the final details of the Michigan State agreement. Former federal judge Layn Phillips served as the mediator for these cases and held an initial meeting with both sides in New York last month.

The lawsuits claimed that several women raised concerns about Nassar by talking to other Michigan State employees as early as 1997, and that those employees did not properly report the claims.

Former gymnastics coach Kathie Klages retired shortly after she was suspended by the athletic department in February 2017. She was accused of discouraging former youth gymnast Larissa Boyce from filing an official report about Nassar's behavior 20 year earlier. The university has started the process of firing William Strampel, a tenured professor and former dean of the medical school. As Nassar's former boss, Strampel allowed the now-disgraced doctor to return to seeing patients while he remained under police investigation for a 2014 claim that eventually resulted in no charges. Strampel was himself charged with sexual misconduct and several other crimes earlier this year.

The school has also parted ways with former president Lou Anna Simon and former athletic director Mark Hollis during the fallout from the Nassar scandal. More than a half-dozen women say they tried to warn someone at Michigan State about Nassar's abuse before he was arrested in September 2016.

"Michigan State is pleased that we have been able to agree in principle on a settlement that is fair to the survivors of Nassar's crimes," said Robert Young, special counsel to MSU. "We appreciate the hard work both sides put into the mediation, and the efforts of the mediator, which achieved a result that is responsible and equitable."

The school has started to make changes to its Title IX policy and add to the resources it provides for those who say they were sexually abused on campus. A recent report conducted by a law firm for Michigan State said members of the campus community who were surveyed in the past year "overwhelmingly concluded that there is room for significant improvement" in how the university handles Title IX cases and educates its community members about sexual assault and relationship violence.

"From this point forward, I believe Michigan State is going to be an example of what to do in the event that [a scandal like Nassar] happens," Mittleman said. "Hopefully, it helps to stop it from ever occurring again."

Denhollander said she and the 15 to 20 other women who were at the settlement talks aren't done fighting for change. She said the next step is to focus on changing laws that will make it easier to hold institutions and others accountable for sexual abuse.

Denhollander has been a driving force in a package of bills that is currently working its way through the legislative process in Michigan. The new laws, if passed by members of the House, would significantly extend the statute of limitations on civil sexual abuse cases and remove sovereign immunity protections from government-operated institutions like a university.

"The general tenor is that we're not done yet," Denhollander said.

Indian Premier League 2011 January 21, 2011

Mumbai sign Rayudu, Sathish

ESPNcricinfo staff

Ambati Rayudu, R Sathish, Dhawal Kulkarni and Siddharth Trivedi, some of the most sought-after uncapped players in the IPL, have decided to stay back with the franchises where they gained prominence. Rayudu, Sathish and Kulkarni will remain with Mumbai Indians while Trivedi has opted to play for Rajasthan Royals, with whom he won the inaugural IPL in 2008.

It is understood that four franchises were keen to rope in Kulkarni, who has been with Mumbai from the first year. There were also many takers for the pair of Rayudu and Sathish, both of whom had joined Mumbai last year after cancelling their contracts with the rebel Indian Cricket League in 2009. Both made an instant impact and were vital in Mumbai reaching the finals in the third season.

Rayudu impressed with the bat, scoring 246 runs at a strike-rate of 144.71, and carried that form into the Ranji season in which he was Baroda's top-scorer with 566 runs, including an unbeaten double-century against Orissa. Sathish made a name for himself as a livewire in the field during the third season of the IPL, and averaged 42.57 for Tamil Nadu over the 2010-11 Ranji season.

The other players who have also decided to stay with their former teams include left-arm spinner Shadab Jakati of Goa and Tamil Nadu batsman Abhinav Mukund. The pair played for Chennai Super Kings in the previous three years. Interestingly, Chennai was the only team which decided to stick to the winning squad it had built over the three years, fighting hard during the auction to retain most of the original squad. Chennai have also signed Tamil Nadu seamer Yo Mahesh, who was part of Delhi Daredevils' squad for the first three seasons.

In addition to Trivedi the other players Rajasthan retained were Abhishek Raut and Aditya Dole, who played for them last season. But they failed to retain Bengal batsman Abhishek Jhunjhunwala, who signed with Pune Warriors. Jhunjhunwala, another ICL player, had joined Rajasthan for the third season of the IPL, and proved to be an effective batsman and a handy fielder too. Delhi Daredevils lost out on the services of the seasoned allrounder Rajat Bhatia, who moved eastwards to Kolkata Knight Riders.

    19.2 outside off, chased the ball away from his body, and a thick snick is pouched gratefully by the keeper 129/2
    12.5 big width outside off, cut off the back foot down to third man and Powell comes round and takes the catch 70/1
    21.1 and the change pays immediate dividends! The stands erupt and there are muted, relieved smiles from the players as he draws him forward and he steers an edge to Ramdin who takes a lowish catch at the third attempt 150/3
    22.1 Sarwan breaks through with his first ball, too! Clarke backs away to try to cut out to point, but takes a faint outside edge - though one which was obvious enough - and Ramdin snaps it up 152/4
    45.6 stays over the wicket, fires in full on off, Hussey goes for the big drive and picks out Findlay just inside long on, the fielder taking a good catch, jumping and with fingers upwards, palms showing 280/6
    43.5 got him this time! Symonds backs away once more, looking for the cut on a slightly slower one, instead the edge goes straight through to the keeper 265/5
    49.5 but Powell makes no mistake at deep backward square leg this time, the fielder coming round and having to reach away from his body with two hands at the last second 341/7
    49.6 Fletcher makes amends this time with a much tougher catch than the sitter he dropped two balls ago, Hopes lifting up the ball towards wide mid-on and Fletcher dives forward to take it at full stretch, this time to cheers 341/8
    not out

    RR Sarwan915736.33224200
    1.3 and Johnson does the job! It's on a good length and Gayle doesn't quite know whether to go back or forward, he gets a thick edge and Ronchi's great game continues as he dives to his left and takes a very good catch 6/1
    11.6 a huge appeal for one which looks straightforward enough and Umpire Ruaf doesn't need much time to adjudge that one was going on - to hit the leg stump according to Hawk-Eye 56/3
    5.4 excellent catch! Sarwan knows he has to get the runs flowing and drives on the up, but it's a slower ball and he doesn't quite time it, the ball looks like clearing James Hopes at mid off but he times his leap to perfection and snares it with both hands above his head 21/2
    20.3 super catch from Lee, Chanderpaul offers the skier, and Lee sets himself at long off to receive, palms upwards, and tumbles back with the momentum, but the ball pouched safely 92/4
    not out
    27.2 got him this time! David Hussey holds the catch in front of the stand, Bravo holing out at long on going for the golf tee off and not quite driving the distance 129/5
    28 on the legs, appeal for a stumping off a leg-side wide, Ronchi quick to take it. Fletcher very relaxed about it, but was his foot back in time? Doubtful... 131/6
    29.4 in the air and a great catch in the deep to remove Ramdin, Michael Hussey charging in from the rope to take a good catch tumbling forward, ending up in a diving position but with the ball safe in his hands 138/7
    35.6 got him! Johnson picks up his third wicket, bowling Powell comprehensively as the batsman tried to steer a straight one to midwicket, his bat at an awkward angle, and the ball ricocheted on to off stump from the pad 158/8
    39.4 outside off, cut hard to the covers and Watson picks up a straightforward catch 172/9

Sometimes it seems like our world is full of unexplainable tragedies and calamities. This past Sunday, a shooter at a Texas church took the lives of 26 people and injured 20 more. Last week a pickup truck ran over several bicyclists in Manhattan. Earlier this year, 58 people died in a mass shooting in Las Vegas, large scale destruction was caused by hurricanes, and the list goes on.

We are not the first, and we won’t be the last. The Old Testament prophet Habakkuk struggled with what everyone does at times, Christians and non-Christians alike. His struggle was basically twofold: “Why don’t you hear and why don’t you do something?” He wanted to know how long sin and injustice would abound while God seemed indifferent.

How do we respond when non-Christians ask a similar question: “Why is there so much injustice in the world?” They want to know why God doesn’t do something if He’s all-powerful and all-good.

  1. Compliment them for their honesty. God is not upset and neither should we be when people ask sincere questions about Him.
  2. Remind them of our limited perspective and ability. God sees things that we don’t. We see what is happening; God sees everything. We know what has occurred; He knows what will occur. Just because injustices haven’t been dealt with doesn’t mean they won’t be.
  3. Encourage them with God’s record and reputation. God has never broken a promise and is never untrue to His character. He promises injustices will be dealt with and no one will escape.
  4. Urge them to look ahead. Scripture is clear. There is coming a day when those who know Christ could not fare better. Those who don’t could not fare worse. The present is not the eternal future.
  5. Inform them of what honors God: our faith. He wants us first and foremost to trust Him for salvation, and then trust Him with everything in and about our lives. When we do so, not only can we experience God’s grace rather than His wrath on the injustice in the world but we can also be a part of God’s mercy and goodness in the midst of unjust world. The Lord told Habakkuk, “The just shall live by his faith” (2:4).

3 (Not So Known) Secrets To Bulking

We get a lot of different people train with us here at Exclusive, and with it that brings a lot of different goals. We get those looking to lose fat, those looking to tone up, and some simply looking to be healthier. Another popular goal we see is people looking to build some muscle and size, also referred to as “bulking up”. There are lots of well-known tips and tricks that most people will be aware of and try, with by far the most popular simply being to “eat more!”. However, to really efficiently bulk, there are a few little ingredients that can go a long way to making a big difference, and many are simply unheard of, or experts are just unaware of them. Here then, are my 3 not so known secrets to bulking:

1.        Complexes = time with the bar

There is a difference between time spent at the gym, or time spent next to the bar, then time spent actually under/holding/with the bar. This is also not to be confused with total reps. Here, I mean exactly what I say – TIME, and without break. And there is no better way than doing this than introducing complexes to your programme. What is a complex, I hear you ask. Quite simply it is this; a series of lifts performed back to back, one lift leading directly onto the other, with all reps of any lift being completed before moving onto the next, all without the bar leaving your hands. If that doesn’t sound bad enough, all these lifts will usually be a big, compound exercises. Try this one for starters – Deadlift, Bent over Row, Clean, Front Squat, Push Press, Good Morning, Back Squat. All back to back without putting the bar down. Start out at about 5 reps for each exercise, and try not to cry mid way through…

2.       Squats

For anyone who has read my previous articles, you will know all about this. Squatting heavy weights releases testosterone. Squatting heavy weights builds mass. You can do as many high rep bicep curls as you want, it’s not going to add nearly the same amount of pure, dense muscle as squatting (heavy, did I mention that?) will. Whether front squats or back squats, these should be included in any bulking programme…

3.       Get Stronger!

This may seem obvious, but believe me people overlook this aspect of bulking way too much. There is a huge difference between size and strength. But we are talking about adding mass here. Strength training will add mass and density to muscle. It will also allow you to do your higher rep work on heavier weights. The key to strength? Lift heavier weights, and try to do them for more reps. I don’t necessarily mean more reps in one set. You can do 1 or 2 reps per set if you want. You just want to do a lot of them, and make sure the bar is loaded. Simple!

Of course, the above will all help, but that alone isn’t going to lead to a perfect “bulk”. There are many factor that must be brought together into a programme. And that’s exactly why we are here, to put all the pieces together so you don’t have to. So fancy a bit of a winter bulk before the trim down for summer? Call us now and let’s get started!

Great, thanks for trying to work on the windows 10 text challenge. I have been meaning to comment on a problem that started after your last win 10 text update. I started seeing transparent control windows. For example, the variable watcher didn't have a solid background. All that could be seen was the text and box outlines. Maybe this second win 10 text fix will fix that fix. Again, thanks for working on this issue. I know it's a real pain in the patut. Smile
