Canada has suspended diplomatic relations with Iran and is expelling Iranian diplomats from Canada, Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird announced in a statement today.

Canada closes embassy in Iran, expels Iranian diplomats - Politics

Speaking to reporters in Russia, where he's attending the Asia-Pacific Economic Co-Operation summit, Baird said the government is formally listing Iran today as a state sponsor of terrorism under the Justice for Victims of Terrorism Act. That will theoretically allow Canadians affected by terrorism supported by the Iranian regime to sue. Later in the day, Baird added Syria to the list of terror-sponsoring states. "Canada is committed to fighting global terrorism and to holding perpetrators of terrorism — and those who provide them support — accountable for their actions," Baird said following a news release that officially added Syria to the list.

"Building resilience against terrorism is a priority for our government, and respect for the rule of law prevails in a resilient society," added Public Safety Minister Vic Toews.

Behold, the Toothbrush That Just Saved the International Space Station - Megan Garber

Here is the high-tech implement that helped repair a damaged ISS. (NASA) It was a little like Apollo 13 -- if its mission to the moon had been saved by a tool of good oral hygiene, that is. Yesterday the International Space Station, having battled electrical malfunctions for over a week, was repaired by a combination that MacGyver himself would have been proud of: an allen wrench, a wire brush, a bolt ... and a toothbrush. Yep. But no big deal, the flight crew thought; this was exactly the kind of thing they'd prepared for.

But the Space Station's predicament remained. So, yesterday, Williams and Hoshide ventured outside the space station once again. Drew Peterson trial updates: Day 2 of jury deliberations. Continual coverage of Drew Peterson's conviction for murdering his third wife, Kathleen Savio. 7:50 p.m.

Hawthorne effect

History[edit] The term was coined in 1950 by Henry A. Landsberger[3] when analysing earlier experiments from 1924–1932 at the Hawthorne Works (a Western Electric factory outside Chicago). The Hawthorne Works had commissioned a study to see if their workers would become more productive in higher or lower levels of light. The workers' productivity seemed to improve when changes were made, and slumped when the study ended. Life Lessons from Video Games. PSY - GANGNAM STYLE @ Summer Stand Live Concert.

Abandoned Walmart is Now America’s Largest Library. Abandoned Walmart is Now America’s Largest 1-Floor Library Article by Steph, filed under Public & Institutional in the Architecture category. There are thousands of abandoned big box stores sitting empty all over America, including hundreds of former Walmart stores.

With each store taking up enough space for 2.5 football fields, Walmart’s use of more than 698 million square feet of land in the U.S. is one of its biggest environmental impacts. But at least one of those buildings has been transformed into something arguably much more useful: the nation’s largest library. Meyer, Scherer & Rockcastle transformed an abandoned Walmart in McAllen, Texas, into a 124,500-square-foot public library, the largest single-floor public library in the United States. The design won the International Interior Design Association’s 2012 Library Interior Design Competition.
