Leidos confirms D.C. United sponsorship

Leidos Holdings Inc. confirmed Monday what may be its boldest move yet to make a name for itself: As exclusive jersey sponsor for D.C. United.
The Reston-based company's position as official sponsor of the Major League Soccer team, first reported last week by the Washington Post, is a big deal. It exposes thousands more inside and outside of the Washington area to a largely unfamiliar brand, even if the company itself has been around for 40 years.
The goal, said a Leidos spokeswoman, is to "have a lot of people asking — who is Leidos?"
In that sense, this is a strategic move by Leidos (NYSE: LDOS) — a company that until September was known far and wide as Science Applications International Corp. The decision to hand over that legacy brand to the spinoff meant re-establishing an identity, in a sense, particularly among those outside the industry.
The sponsorship will help do that: The Leidos logo will be prominently featured on the front of the team's jersey, displayed throughout the stadium and printed on the team's marketing and media properties, according to the announcement. It will also enable Leidos and D.C. United to engage the community and charitable partners through events, including those tied to Armed Forces Week, among others. Apparently, D.C. United had a few jerseys mocked up and had its players model them for some preliminary pictures.
This isn't the first time the company has pushed its name out to the public. Following the separation, Leidos had a month-long campaign at Pentagon Metro, with more than 42 ads. It also has ads in Metro cars on the red, blue and yellow lines. There's been full-page ads in the Wall Street Journal, half-page ads in the Washington Post, radio ads on WTOP during morning commutes, and digital ads running on about 10 national websites. And the company did a paid search campaign on Google, Yahoo and Bing, running from September to November.

The Carolina Hurricanes continue to get hit by injuries – Eric Staal's out, Cam Ward was placed on the IR – but they're putting together some of their best hockey of the 2013-14 season instead.
Really, Jeff Skinner's Sunday might represent the image the team is trying to project. Many gasped when he took the puck to the face (the young forward has dealt with concussion issues, after all), but the 21-year-old came back and scored the game-winner.
Skinner now has an outstanding 20 goals in 32 games played this season.
Then again, the real key might be Anton Khudobin's return from injury. The 27-year-old strated off strong for Carolina, but he was sidelined from Oct. 13 to Jan. 2 with an injury. He's now 5-0-0 with an outstanding .940 save percentage and 1.99 GAA on the season, certainly making Ward's injury situation seem like less of a concern. (It is the season of backups, after all.)
With this win, Carolina is now 18-6-9. One might say "Imagine what they could do if they were completely healthy," yet the Hurricanes simply seem used to this. In the case of their goaltending, it might even be a blessing in disguise.

Close-up on dirty old men
Sunday 27 September 1998
Vogue printed transcripts from Bailey's programme, where the old cocky spaniel gets shirty and flirty with his subjects. "You're quite rich aren't you?" he asks ex-flame and Sixties model Penelope Tree. "A spoilt rich American girl." But our Pen's having none of it. "Bailey ... I'm not going to answer that ... It's like saying you're a dumb cockney." Then he prods Kate Moss. "I suppose when you're younger it's easier to be naked," he giggles, but the laid-back Kate takes it in her stride. "I used to get upset about it, now I'll get my tits out at any chance."
Mr B, apart from being a bloody good photographer, was the archetypal "lad". But now he's the man who's done it all. "He hung out with the Stones and the Beatles," recalls India Knight in the Review, "and was the alleged inspiration for the David Hemmings character in Blow up." Yes, Bailey made fashion photography rock and roll. But now he's like any old codger on the block with a glorious past (he's 61 next birthday).
Mario Testino, every minor fashion editor's darling in the Eighties, has reinvented himself for the Nineties. This is the man who shot Diana for Vanity Fair, who was responsible for the first photographs of Madonna and child for the same magazine, and the fashion press love him.
But at 48, he's also showing signs of dirty-old-bloke-itus. His book, Any Objections?, features bawdy shots of models and involves lots of undressing. "A picture of Naomi Campbell showing her bum at a party appears," reported Harriet Quick in the Independent, "then there's a line-up of men with their pants down next to a picture of Kate Moss and Naomi peeing."
As if all this wasn't steamy enough, Elle featured saucy Sante D'Orazio, who warms up his models by rolling around naked with them. "Most people find it difficult to tell someone they're beautiful," he cooed, "but it comes easily to me because I honestly feel that way about the women I photograph." Photographers. They don't need Viagra, just a sturdy zoom lens.

I have one of those iPod slot on top speakers in a box systems.
I bought a "wireless Bluetooth music receiver" (looks like a chunk of licorace) that plugs into the iPod slot so I could transmit A2DP V1.2 audio to that speaker box from the iMac.
It works and I can transmit audio to that reciever and hear music from my iMac via iTunes and Pandora on the web.
But I want sound to come from both the built in iMac speakers and the external speaker box at the same time (kind of like having close by remote wireless speakers).
Using Audio MIDI Setup in Utilities, I created an Aggregate device so that I might play music through the iMac speakers and the Bluetooth speaker box at the same time.
(For those unfamiliar with Aggregate devices, please read here for quick intro. Note that when you search aggregate devices, many of the answers/links show a previous version. I think pre Leopard or Snow Leopard/Lion version. In current Snow Leopard/Lion version, you add by clicking the plus sign.)
No matter how I have the Aggregate device settings configured, it will only play to one or the other devices.
Is this a hopeless cause or, is there a trick to get sound out of my iMac speakers and the remote speakers with the Bluetooth reciever in the iPod slot at the same time?
I sound like an audio pro but I am not. Indeed, I still can't find an explanation anywhere on how to know your best Clock Source, what a clock source is, what a resample is, why it is needed, and while I have matched device formats at 48000 Hz and 44000 Hz, the 2ch-32 and other bit numbers never match and, does that matter?

The song of Trees
I pause to ponder on these changes,
And face this bitter winter chill.
that clamps on me like lime greased pages,
and longs to twist and turn me still.
Yet, to see these tree trunks grinding,
as they turn about on windswept days;
They seems to me to long reach out,
Then embrace me like a crinkled sage.
I close my eyes and see them shine;
then pull their tendrils from the earth.
to then watch them slowly start to smile;
and wrap around each other's girth.
And as they walk slowly together,
a single part, yet still complete;
I see them gathered free from tethers;
yet still need others of itself to greet.
Their single parts are of the whole,
As they gather for a sweet chorale;
in colours of the dawning times,
That echoes of a beautiful madrigal.
From pale citrus to the budding flower,
that remind me of my innocence;
and times now red with rusting roots;
that bring fears of inner subsidence.
So are these golden fiery tears,
to be shelled now on the floor;
Just whispered hints of ecstatic stints;
spent knocking on my autumn door?
No... for now I am not afraid to face it;
For I see change as the eternal plan,
that brings forth life, to all things living,
and proves that death is just a sham.
For Autumn is a part of a circle,
and not just a terminal line;
and we are a part of this cycle,
on this universal palace, divine.
Now to some our home might seem small,
and perhaps tired and a little drab;
But its up to us to keep it special,
because it's our home and all we have.
So let's sing the song of trees together,
and understand their precious song;
otherwise we have a house of lies,
and of cold and ruthless oppression.
It's up to us to make the changes,
To fight and hold to what is true;
And sing the song of Trees together,
to thus finally defeat the wormwood crew.

In the icy shadow of Scott and Amundsen
Erling Kagge, 28 and Norwegian, is setting off to half-walk, half-ski to the South Pole from the northern edge of Antarctica - alone. He will be leaving in early November, and hopes to get there in about 60 days.
On the way, unless he suffers injury, he is likely to pass two Britons, Sir Ranulph Fiennes and his companion, Mike Stroud. Last week they announced details of a vastly ambitious project, starting at the end of this month, in which they will attempt to be the first men to cross the Antarctic via the South Pole unsupported: 2,200 miles in 100 days.
There is little love lost between the Norwegian and Sir Ranulph, and their rivalry raises echoes of the intense competition between Scott and Amundsen 80 years ago. It follows a dispute that arose after Kagge and a companion beat Sir Ranulph to the North Pole two years ago. Sir Ranulph claims that because one of Kagge's companions had to be airlifted home after injuring his back, the Norwegians did not really reach the North Pole without support. Sir Ranulph, on the other hand, hasn't reached it at all in four attempts.
'This affair is more or less water under the bridge to me,' says Kagge, 'because we won the battle.' But he acknowledges that there was a certain tendency in Norway to say, 'Good, we beat the English again.'
Sir Ranulph strongly disputes Kagge's version of events. 'He has made false claims,' he said last week, 'which has made the whole thing a bit of a sham. The Norwegians say it is sour grapes, but that's not true - it's about sticking to the rules.'
Sir Ranulph is a professional explorer, Kagge only a part-
timer: when he is not preparing for polar walks he is a lawyer for the big Norwegian mining and electricity company Norsk Hydro.
Even his legal work can be exciting: he has posed as a rich Scandinavian businessman to expose a fraudster in Panama City, and not long ago he took a bus ride across Yugoslavia to claim dollars 11m which a bank was holding out on.
You can see why the bank handed it over. Kagge is quiet but he is tall, with blue eyes which could easily get quite cold, and he has a bone-cracking handshake. He claims he would get bored if he had to be a lawyer, or an explorer, all the time. He must have a low boredom threshold, because he has taken on a task that is exceptionally tough, both physically and mentally.
He will have to pull every mouthful of food he eats for two months, more than 120lbs of it - a mixture of fat, which is good because of its very high calorie content, meat, oats and chocolate. He will take a tent, modified by himself so he can put it up even in a blizzard, a sleeping-bag of man- made down so as not to absorb sweat, and an emergency radio with a range of hundreds of miles because it uses a satellite.
To save space, he will take no change of underwear: 'I plan to break my own record of wearing the same underwear for 63 days.'
To train for the physical effort, he has been jogging for three hours at a stretch in the mountains round Oslo and hiking with up to 120lbs in a backpack.
It is harder to prepare for the psychological pressures. When he went to the North Pole, one of his companions slipped a disc trying to pull his sledge out of a crevasse, and Kagge himself had to shoot a starving polar bear that charged them.
The South Pole walk presents less physical danger. Kagge feels that 'the biggest challenge is to keep a good rate of progress when you are alone. It is more a mental than a physical thing. The hardest thing is to start in the morning. You get very, very hungry. The fat wears off. The muscle begins to go. You get very, very tired. You get headaches, nosebleeds. If there are two of you, the one who is feeling best goes ahead, and all you have to do is keep up. If you are on your own, you have to motivate yourself.'
Was he afraid of being lonely? 'Not frightened,' he said, 'but I do expect to be lonely.' Every single ounce is a consideration when you have to drag it with your own hips for hundreds of miles, so he is not sure whether he will take a Walkman and a few cassettes. But he will definitely take one book, probably 'light philosophy' or history. He thinks it will be vital to focus his mind on something other than his physical task every now and then.
Why was he doing it? Because it's there? He laughed. 'I'm very fed up with people saying they are doing it because it's scientific, when they could find out far more with less effort by flying in,' he said. 'Those reasons are secondary. You have to accept that what you are doing is absurd.
'Of course, I have secondary reasons, too. People are nicer to you, including the bank manager. Your self-esteem is better. You feel more secure and confident. But my real motives are personal. It is curiosity that drives me.'

- Culture & Values
- Career Opportunities
I have been working at Schwan's full-time (less than a year)
ProsYou are needed because retention rates for RSR's is moderately high. Good management at my depot. They are concerned about your development as a route driver. The company has a new CEO and is making a push for a better work/life balance, i.e. work 4 days a week for 12-14 hours each day. Weekly pay and opportunities to fill other route days to make more money. The highest compensation that I actually believe that an RSR can make for a year is about 80K for a 20 year RSR who has had the same route for many years. 2 year RSRs make about 40-50K.
ConsJust finished my 4th week as a trainee. Current pay is $115 per day for fourteen hours. Comes out to about $8 per hour. Driving in all kinds of weather conditions, traffic, dogs, heat, cold, etc. If you are on a rural route restroom facilities are limited, even if you had time to stop and go. Sometimes it comes down to asking a customer to use their restroom (which is unprofessional) or going outside. I have heard of several RSRs soiling their pants because they were trying to hurry up and not stop.
This job is a balancing act. Company requires you to run about 70 stops on your route day while still expecting great customer engagement/service. If your stops are spread out you might have 30 seconds talk time per customer to take the order, then pull product from the truck, return and complete payment. Customers don't want to be rushed, and want to engage for a bit (especially the elderly ones) and take their time perusing the product book. It is unfortunate that we often have to contact the last 10-15 customers on our route that we can't get to them tonight because DOT rules for drive time have kicked-in. The customers say "why does Schwan's schedule so many customer stops per day"? Good question. If I had 40-50 stops there would be enough time, but then my total potential compensation for the day would be greatly reduced due to lack of commissions because of lower sales. The experienced RSRs know which customers will be home, who the good buyers are, and when they can skip them until next time. etc. What sucks is when you run somebody else's route and you don't know the customers you can skip over.
Equipment problems cause many heartaches. Truck problems, hand-held device problems, inventory problems, etc. GPS system can be challenging at times.Advice to ManagementAdviceSpare no expense on top-of-the-line equipment and training. Cut route stops to 40-50 and adjust the commission rates so that a decent level of compensation can be maintained with fewer stops.

Clear Channel moves CEO post out of San Antonio
Move signals shift of corporate power to New York
- W. Scott Bailey
- Reporter/Project Coordinator- San Antonio Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Google+ | Facebook
DiGiovanni says that distance is a concern.
"Decisions can get made in places where we are not present," he says. "That's a real disadvantage."
Gravitational pull
There are other signs that the Big Apple could be gaining some influence at San Antonio's expense. Clear Channel Radio recently tapped Brian Lakamp to serve as president of Clear Channel Digital. Lakamp will report to John Hogan, president and CEO of Clear Channel Radio, which is also based in San Antonio. But Lakamp and his team, like Pittman, will be based in New York.
Veteran broadcast industry expert Tom Taylor, of Radio-Info.com, says he believes that Clear Channel Radio will keep its operations in San Antonio. "But the strategic direction (for Clear Channel Radio) has been coming from elsewhere since the ... sale to Bain Capital and Thomas H. Lee Partners in mid-2008."
Clear Channel was acquired in 2008 for about $24 billion by an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of CC Media Holdings Inc., a corporation formed by a private equity group led by Bain Capital Partners LLC and Thomas H. Lee Partners L.P.
Bain Capital Partners has offices in Boston, Chicago and New York. And Thomas H. Lee Partners has its headquarters in Boston.
In early February, Mays announced to Clear Channel employees that he would step down from his post at the end of March, explaining, "There's a time for everything."
Taylor said soon after, "I do think this is an important inflection point for Clear Channel, and the gravitational pull towards New York and Boston will become stronger."
Pittman will earn an annual base salary of $1 million and will have use of a company aircraft, according to an SEC document. The company will also make available a car and driver to Pittman for his business and personal use in New York.
W. Scott Bailey covers health care, tourism, sports business, economic development; he also plans and edits some special reports.

"Weeds" Preview and a Naked Mary-Louise Parker!
"Weeds" Preview and a Naked Mary-Louise Parker!
Two "Weeds" posts in one week?! It's intense, I know, but I couldn't resist writing about these "Weeds"-related things I came across today.
For starters, holy cow does Mary-Louise Parker look nice naked (and sure, there's probably some retouching going on, but still!). I actually feel a little dirty looking at this promotional shot for "Weeds," which you can see in full after the jump.
What's more, there's a 4-minute sneak peek in which the actors discuss some of what we can expect to see in the upcoming season of "Weeds" which starts August 13. Apparently, a whole new town moves in next to Agrestic... and it's called Majestic.
In this video they talk a lot about the major cliffhangers from the season finale of Season 2, so if you haven't yet seen those episodes, rent them and then you can check out this Season 3 preview (and the nude pic!) if you read more

I purchased these speakers to replace the old completely worn out speakers in my Chevy truck. I had to modify the stock speaker mounts to fit them but they fit in there nicely now. The sound is really good. Sounds better than it ever did before. They are a good value for the price. I recommend them.

I purchased the Polk Audio db651s. I tend to prefer Polk products because they sound great and are durable in the humid Houston heat. I bought them in the early Spring and they are lasting through their first Houston Summer. These speakers tend to get the most heat because they are on the rear deck and get the most heat from near direct sunlight. I've owned other Polk speakers in the past specifically because they last through several Summers before I have to replace them and the price I found them for here is really great!

These speakers sounds great. I'm running these off the head unit and sounds great without a amp. Which will save you some cash. Do not buy these for bass its for the highs and mids. So if you want a bass buy a sub.

I put these in my work van and it souds like I am in a different vehicle.
The sound is much better than stock speakers, and that is running the
Polks with the factory radio. I'm glad I bought the shallow mounts,
because the tweeter on the regular db651 speakers would have not
fit behind the factory door panels. If you are looking for a great factory
replacement I would highly suggest getting a pair.

I have these in my sound (roll) bar in my 2014 Wrangler. They sound really well with the JVC deck I installed and were even better when pushed with an Alpine amp (KTP-445U). Install was easy and I couldn't have asked for a better speaker. Easy to install.
If you own a wrangler, I would seriously recommend these. Another piece of advice is poly fill the sound bar. It does help out with the overall sound.

I bought these because they are one of the few 6.5" speakers that can fit in the front doors of older Civics (with the included adapters). I have admittedly used nothing better in the past than what can be bought at bargain stores, but these are by far the best speakers I have owned or even experienced in anybody else's vehicle.

Not a bad set of speakers but wanted matching front/rear, and they 651s was too deep in front for my application. Had these installed for just a month or so, but was overall quite happy with them- EXCEPT- they were very bright. Had to have a lot of high end cut to make my ears not bleed.

Major difference in sound from the factory garbage that these speakers replaced, even without amplifying them. Running them from the 45x4 head unit is sufficient, but would probably benefit from separate amplification. Good highs, great mids, but you want to cut them off and block 120hz and below.
Did not fit, even with the included adapter, but a drill bit takes care of that no problem.

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - March 25, 2014) - USPA Properties, Inc. announces a branding strategy for their U.S. Polo Assn. license that will include an updated marketing campaign emphasizing the authenticity of the brand's link to the game of polo. The new "Live Authentically" slogan speaks to the DNA and rich history of U.S. Polo Assn., the officially licensed brand of the United States Polo Association, governing body for the sport since 1890.
The branding strategy reflects the company's desire to tell their story and pays tribute to the heritage of U.S. Polo Assn. global product lines, which include apparel for men, women and children, accessories and more and are licensed in 135 countries -- in North and South America, Asia, the Middle East, Europe, Scandinavia, and Russia. India and the Middle East are two of the largest and more popular markets, with 182 and 241 stores, respectively. There are 563 stores worldwide.
With the company's global growth rate, the U.S. Polo Assn. brand is poised to capture the growth potential across product categories. The branding strategy will underscore the positioning of the brand, reflecting its rich history and staying true to its roots in American Style, updated to complement today's on-the-go lifestyle.
An admirable aspect of the brand, one that further speaks to its authenticity, is that revenue from the sales of the U.S. Polo Assn. merchandise is used to promote the sport of polo -- everything from underwriting educational and training programs, to funding programs in umpiring, competition and equine welfare.
Under the new campaign, "Live Authentically," the new marketing strategy will be rolled out this spring, creating brand awareness with a global vision that expresses the synergy between the sport and the brand: worn by polo players, the brand captures the spirit of the sport, inspired by its American heritage as a true sanctioned brand of the U.S. Polo Association.
Two recently completed shoots include vibrant images of young polo players in exciting action-packed live sequences that highlight the brand's style both on and off the field, and embody the true lifestyle and spirit. A revamped U.S. Polo Assn. brand website, adapting the new brand vision, is scheduled to launch in April, with competition game footage, special photo galleries and social media highlights. It will also feature a full schedule of polo events and venues.
"This is an extremely exciting time for us at USPA Properties, Inc.," commented Jackie Harrigan, VP of Marketing. "Staying true to our roots and authentic to the sport of polo is who we are. Our customers value the spirit that our products convey, the rich and unique heritage that the brand represents, and the significant support that it offers to the players and to the sport."
About U.S. Polo Assn.
U.S. Polo Assn. brand products are authentic and officially sanctioned by the United States Polo Association (USPA), the governing body for the sport of polo in the U.S. since 1890.
USPA Properties, Inc., a wholly owned, for-profit, tax-paying subsidiary of the USPA, manages its licensing program in over 135 countries through independent retail, department, online and U.S. Polo Assn. brand stores.
Primarily featuring sportswear for men, women, and children, the product offering has expanded to include accessories, luggage, watches, shoes, home furnishings and more.
As the steward of the Association's marks, Properties' mission is to develop a long-term source of revenue to help underwrite numerous programs for education about and promotion of the sport of polo in the U.S., from memberships and handicaps, to clubs and tournaments; from interscholastic programs to Team USPA mentoring; with particular concern for equine welfare and player safety throughout.

Canada offers help in recovery
Baird, PM denounce al-Shabab
TORONTO -- Canada offered its support to Kenya Sunday, saying it is "prepared to do more" to help the east African country recover from a horrific terrorist attack that killed at least 68 people, including two Canadians.
Media reports and Facebook users identified Vancouver businessman Naguib Damji as one of the two Canadians caught in the crossfire as gunmen used AK-47s and threw grenades at Nairobi's upscale Westgate mall, a venue frequented by expatriates and wealthy locals.
Officials have confirmed the other victim was diplomat Annemarie Desloges, who worked at the Canadian Embassy in Nairobi.
The attack that began Saturday dragged into Sunday, with 10 to 15 terrorists holed up inside the building with a number of hostages as Kenyan authorities mounted what it called a final operation to end the siege.
Somalia's radical rebel group, al-Shabab, claims responsibility for the attack as retribution for the presence of Kenyan troops in Somalia. It said there will be no negotiations.
"I reached out yesterday and spoke with my counterpart from Kenya and offered not only our sympathies, but our support in the fight against al-Shabab international terrorism," Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird said at an event in Toronto.
"Al-Shabab's despicable actions, and the number of people from different nationalities killed do show that the fight against terrorism is the great struggle of our generation and does require us collaborating and working together."
At least two Canadian citizens and one permanent resident were among the 175 injured.
'Al-Shabab's despicable actions... do show that the fight against terrorism is the great struggle of our generation'
-- Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird
Kenyan officials said they would do their best to save hostages' lives, but there was no official word on how many victims remained in the mall. Kenya's Red Cross said in a statement citing police that 49 people had been reported missing.
Baird said Canada would wait for the situation to be resolved before deciding on any steps going forward.
"The capacity to be able to look at accountability and what we might do to support the Kenyan government, that phase hasn't started yet," he said.
"Once the incident is over, obviously we'll work with like-minded allies to look at what we can do on counterterrorism."
A number of Canadians took to social media Sunday to express their shock at the Nairobi attack and voiced their sympathies for the families of the two Canadian victims.
Desloges, a 29-year-old diplomat who worked at the Canadian Embassy in Nairobi, was off duty shopping at the mall with her husband when gunfire rang out.
Her spouse, Robert Munk, was injured in the attack but has since been released from hospital. Her family requested privacy Sunday.
The Professional Association of Foreign Service Officers, of which Desloges was a member, said it was "devastated" by the loss of one of its own.
"Annemarie's death inflicts a deep wound on the Foreign Service community," president Tim Edwards said in a statement.
"Annemarie was one of our bright young lights, and hers was a career brimming with promise. Today we grieve the loss not only of a warm and intelligent friend and colleague, but a lifetime's potential tragically unfilled."
Edwards said Desloges came from a "foreign-service family" and had accompanied her parents on overseas postings before deciding to follow in their footsteps in 2006. She served at a posting in New Delhi before moving to Kenya, where she had worked for two years.
He noted Desloges is the first Canadian diplomat killed on a posting since Glyn Berry died in an improvised-explosive-device attack in Afghanistan in 2006.
"Annemarie was exactly the kind of person all Canadians would want as front-line abroad," Edwards said.
"Possessed of a strong work ethic, Annemarie was sharp and meticulous in her work -- a true professional -- and expressed herself with a poise and confidence which belied her youth."
Daniel Lee Howe, who once took a Foreign Service training session with Desloges in Ottawa, said he remembered her talking about getting married in Cuba when they met in 2011.
While Howe called Desloges' death a great loss, he said it wouldn't stop him from taking on overseas postings.
"It's rare, but it does happen when you go on a posting with a high hardship level," he said of her death. "We're trained for these events as part of the job."
The daughter and niece of Damji confirmed to various media he was killed in the attack. "The family is very deeply saddened by the tragedy and kindly request their privacy during this devastating time," his daughter, Karima, said in a statement to Global News.
Friends voiced their support for the family on Facebook.
One person described Damji as a "great man," while another called him "full of life and so kind."
"A beautiful human being," said another person.
His daughter, Karima, confirmed in a message via Facebook to Global News the West Vancouver man died in the attack, and asked for privacy for the grieving family.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper said Canadians' thoughts are with all the victims.
"The government of Canada wants to condemn, as strongly as we possibly can, this cowardly act that has taken place against many innocent people," he said at an event in Toronto.
"We will continue to work with our partners internationally to do everything we can to fight terrorism."
