We will call the president today (Friday) at a reasonable hour to inform him that the assembly has finished its task and the project of the constitution is completed," said Hossam el-Gheriyani, head of the assembly in a live broadcast of the session which lasted about 19 hours.

Attorney expects Lohan will be cleared in NYC case

LOS ANGELES (AP) ? An attorney for Lindsay Lohan says he expects the actress will be cleared of a charge that she hit a woman in a Manhattan nightclub.

Lawyer Mark Heller said Thursday that Lohan is being targeted because of her fame.

The "Mean Girls" star was arrested by New York police around 4 a.m. Thursday and charged with third-degree assault, a misdemeanor.

The woman in the club did not require medical attention, and Lohan was released hours later.

Prosecutors in Santa Monica also charged Lohan on Thursday with lying to police and reckless driving involving a June accident on Pacific Coast Highway.

The charge could trigger a probation violation and another jail sentence for the 26-year-old.

iPad And Android Tablet Market Share Margin Narrows Much Faster Than Originally Predicted

Image (2) apple-samsung-620x253.jpg for post 206796Apple continued to win out in terms of tablet market share this past quarter, according to the latest figures from ABI Research, with a 55 percent share of all shipments during the period. That's a lead it has had since 2010 when the iPad was introduced, but it's also the slimmest lead it's ever had, and represents a dip of 14 percent versus the previous quarter.

The Country Home of Mega-Collector Duncan Phillips | Urban Art ...

413 W. Highland, Phillips, EbensburgIt was through the current exhibit (on view through January 6) at the Amon Carter Museum of American Art that I learned more about the Phillips Collection and Duncan Phillips himself. An astute collector, Phillips didn?t have the wealth to match Andrew Carnegie or Andrew Mellon, but never-the-less assembled one of the country?s great collections.

With just those three, Mellon, Carnegie and Phillips, plus Henry Clay Frick, it?s remarkable how much of the nation?s artistic heritage is tied to Pittsburgh (and the steel industry). Phillips collection is of course in Washington, D.C. where he moved in 1895. The grandson of James H. Laughlin, a banker and co-founder of the Jones and Laughlin Steel Company. With repeated references to a home in Western Pennsylvania, at an event at the Amon Carter I asked Phillips Associate Curator for Research Susan Behrends Frank just where the family?s country home was.

The answer, Ebensburg, is a place I am well familiar with. It?s not far from a ?cottage? that was home to B.F. Jones, the other partner in Jones and Laughlin. I knew about that home through recent news reports surrounding saving it from the wrecking ball. It sits next to a cottage owned by Andrew Carnegie.

Phillips married painter Marjorie Acker in 1921. Though the Phillips is known for its collection of modern art, Marjorie was a painter in her own right and the museum holds many paintings she likely did of the countryside around Ebensburg. The house there, known as Ormsby Lodge and Carriage House, is still standing, as is another home owned by a family member.

She studied at the Art Students League from 1915 to 1918 with Kenneth Hayes Miller, Boardman Robinson, and Gifford Beal. She served as director of The Phillips Collection from 1925 until her retirement in 1972.

Driving through Ebensburg, you can see why the landscape might be appealing as a retreat, and inspiring to an artist. (Although Mary Cassatt was said to have been frustrated by life in nearby Hollidaysburg). Located about an hour and a half from Pittsburgh, today the mountainous countryside still has its appeal. No tourist maps point you to the homes, but you can find them.

If you go:

Ormsby Lodge and Carriage House, Ebensburg -1889. Entrance 700 block W. Highland. An l8-room Eastlake Victorian summer house built for Duncan Phillips (the John Phillips House of the same family is at 413 W. Highland).

The cottages in Cresson are located on Cottage Street. The Google map vehicle hasn?t made it there yet.

The Government of Canada is calling on all Canadians to help end violence against women and girls

2011 was a busy, focused and successful one for our community. There are a number of reasons to say this and I figured important enough to number.

1. Unemployment numbers in our community dropped each and every month since January.

There are still more jobs to create and the recovery is a fragile one. No question however, that we are on the right track.

2. The Cairns Family Health and Biosciences Research Complex was built and is almost completed.

No longer is Brock the university up on the hill. The facility will boast almost 110,000 sq feet of Bioscience research, second to no other research facility or university in the country. It will in fact, rival the facility in place at the University of Florida. The link with the community and our local economy is through the incubator facility that will house small start up businesses. The true value of this investment is when we see the creation of manufacturing jobs through this facility. My close friend Jeff Cairns' dad Roy passed away in 2011.? One of his last significant commitments to his community was the Cairns' family investment and contribution to Brock. Roy had a feeling this is going to work and it's up to all of us to make sure we prove his feeling true.

3. Majority government on May 2nd of this year.

Yes of course, those who didn't vote Conservative may disagree with this from a partisan perspective, but truly what this country needed was a stable federal government for a number of years. We can all judge the results once we reach re-election time in 2015.

4. Completion of a number of economic stimulus projects in town.

The new parking garage, the Armenian community centre, the children's centre at the YMCA, the football/soccer facility at the 4-pad, a brand new airport, nGen technology and multi-media investments, to name a few, have helped bring our community into the modern era. They also created short and long term jobs that were sorely required.

5. St. Catharines/Niagara is at the forefront of the agenda in our nation's capital.

The direction we take as a government is inspired by and involves our community. In other words, we matter and we play a role. I have to compliment both Dean Allison and Justice Minister Rob Nicholson for being great spokespersons for our communities.

Turning to 2012, the economy and continuing to help create jobs will remain our community's most important focus. It's the responsibility of all of us local politicians at the federal, provincial, regional and municipal jurisdictions to work together and never lose sight of the fact that whatever we do must have a long term economic benefit to our city and our Niagara.

We've spent a ton, yes a ton, of taxpayers money in St. Catharines from all orders (levels) of government. All of those investments were made with the rebuilding of our local economy in mind. In other words, we aren't dreamers or creative folks any longer. We are now project managers who have to ensure that taxpayer's investments will do what we (politicians) said it would. In 2012 I'm focused on the results of these investments to ensure that the investors (taxpayers) get value for their hard earned dollars vis-?-vis property tax, regional tax, provincial tax and federal tax. Every one of us has to focus on providing the actual outcomes from each of these investments that prove they're delivering the results promised.

Heading into my 6th year as the MP for our city, I'm looking forward to playing my part and ensuring we do focus on our economy and continue to bring St. Catharines issues to Ottawa.

5 Healthy Meats in Your Diet | Pittsburgh Fitness

Post image for 5 Healthy Meats in Your Diet

So you might be asking yourself ?Are there any healthy meats out there?? We meat lovers are happy to know that yes, there are. So you don?t have to feel guilty about your meat cravings and now you can embrace them instead. No one?s claiming that you have to eat meat every day, but meat does contain amino acids that help keep your body healthy.

There are really good, regularly available choices of meats that are high in protein and low in fat. You can do much better than just slicing off the fat from the ends of the meat that you eat too. Choosing and preparing the right kinds of meat goes a long way towards being and eating healthier. Here are 5 meats that you can add to your diet and not feel bad about it.

Pork

Pork is ?the other white meat? and is a healthy alternative to red meat. Pork is a better protein source than most forms of beef and is comparable to turkey in terms of fat-to-lean-meat ratio. A typical pork chop, with the fat cut off, contains about 0.3 oz (8 g) of fat. Pork chops can be relatively lean, but they?re typically not as low-fat as chicken or fish. By contrast, however, a USDA, University of Wisconsin and Maryland study found that a 3 oz (85 g) serving of pork tenderloin contains 0.105 oz (2.98 g) of fat and that the same portion of skinless chicken breast contains 0.106 oz (3.03 g) of fat.

Chicken

We all know that white meat is much better for you than red ? that?s a well-known fact. Chicken is a great source of protein and, as an added bonus; it?s less expensive than beef. Boneless skinless chicken breasts have only 116 calories and 3.2 grams of fat. It can be marinated, dry rubbed or even put on the BBQ, also boiled or broiled. There are well over 100 different ways to prepare and cook chicken. It tends to take on other flavors well, but should not be marinated for too long. Even marinating chicken for half an hour will give you added flavor.

Turkey

Turkey is generally a white meat (turkey breast), but it packs more flavor than chicken, and its dark meat can be pretty gamy. Turkey meat is also relatively low in fat: one 4.9 oz (140 g) serving of skinless roasted turkey contains about 0.25 oz (7 g) of fat. Turkey meat often contains more protein and calories per gram than chicken does but is higher in saturated fat. Turkey is particularly high in tryptophan, an amino acid that induces sleepiness. Free-ranging poultry is considered much healthier than poultry from large commercial farms, because of the different diet, natural growing conditions and less use of hormones. Also eating the cartilage at the end of drumsticks and wings is an excellent source of hyaluronic acid. If you didn?t know what hyaluronic acid is, well it works by acting as a cushion and lubricant in the joints and other tissues. In addition, it might affect the way the body responds to injury.

Oily Fish

Some examples of oily fish include salmon, trout, sardines and anchovies. These types of fish have oil in their tissues and around their gut. Their lean fillets contain up to 30% oil, specifically, omega-3 fatty acids. These oils are known to provide health benefits for the heart, as well as to the nervous system. People who eat lots of fish are less likely to develop colon cancer than those who don?t. Also oily fish are also known to provide benefits for patients with inflammatory conditions, such as arthritis. Oily fish also contain vitamins A and D.

Buffalo (Bison)

Bison, or buffalo, meat is rich in nutrients such as zinc and iron. It generally contains fewer calories, less fat and lower levels of cholesterol than beef, chicken and pork. No matter how good white meat can taste, it will never truly satisfy the hankering we have for red meat. Buffalo, however, can. It?s probably the reddest meat you?ll ever see and unlike beef, it?s pretty good for you. A hunk of buffalo has far less fat than steak does and buffalo are generally grass-fed, which means a healthier meat.

Also if you want to compare that to a regular burger, your typical lean hamburger (10% fat) contains about 0.32 oz (9 g) of fat. Buffalo burgers, on the other hand, contain less than half that, about 0.14 oz (4 g).
