OTTAWA — The federal government does not have to account separately for pension money it owes public service retirees, or pay back a $28 billion surplus that had built up on the books, the Supreme Court of Canada has ruled.
The unanimous decision, written by Justice Marshall Rothstein, upheld two lower court rulings that rejected arguments by 12 federal public service unions that fought to set aside the money for the pensions of all civil employees, RCMP and military veterans.
Pension surpluses began building up in the late 1990s and through 2004 as a result of low inflation rates, high interest rates, government-imposed restraints on salaries, the capping of indexed benefits, and changing assumptions in calculating how much the government needs to pay out in years to come.
The high court rejected the union arguments that their members had a legal interest in the superannuation fund and that the government could not account for the money as it wished in its general Consolidated Revenue Fund.
Ottawa had changed the law governing its defined-benefit pension plan obligations in 2000 after the surpluses began building up, but even as early as the 1990s it had begun to re-calculate the numbers to reduce the annual budget deficit or increase the budget surplus.
The court ruled the government did not breach any fiduciary duty to the unionized members in changing its accounting records, and said the pension funds are not "segregated pools of assets."
The law's reference to "assets" merely "signifies their credit balances, not anything of value. The court said the superannuation accounts "are just accounting records and they are not funds, nor are they 'trust-like,' such that it is possible to borrow from them."
"It is 'extremely clear' that Parliament did not intend any compensation to be given to the plan members for these debits," wrote Rothstein. "It would be absurd to read Bill C-78 as requiring the government to debit excess amounts and then compensate the plan members for the amounts debited."
The decision was the third loss in a row for the unions, which lost at the Ontario Superior Court of Justice and the Ontario Court of Appeal.
From 2001 to 2004, the federal government took or debited $28 billion out of the superannuation fund in its Consolidated Revenue Fund.
The unions had appealed for a return of the actuarial surplus saying the government had breached a trust and its fiduciary duties, and that Bill C-78 didn't extinguish the unions' interest in the fund.
One federal union in the case, the Canadian Association of Professional Employee, reacted almost immediately, slamming the federal governments for forcing current and future public service employees to "pay larger contributions over a longer period of time because, among other things, a portion of the accumulated funds to ensure the continued viability of their pension plans was used for other purposes by their employer."
Claude Poirier, CAPE President, said he was disappointed with the decision.
"We believe that the government reneged on its contractual commitments when it dipped into the superannuation accounts to reduce its deficit during the first decade of this century. The court has ruled that the government had the right to do so and consequently is refusing to force the government to return those funds."\
Poirier said regardless of whether or not the federal government was legally entitled to dip into the surplus, "the impact of this siphoning off of funds is now evident."
He pointed to the Conservative government's decision announced last budget to raise the normal retirement age to 65 for employees hired after Jan. 1, and to gradually increase employees' pension plan contributions until they are equal to the employer's contributions.
"These changes are due in part to the shortfall caused by the government's appropriation of the pension plan surplus, even though the pension plan remains solvent and, fully funded."
"In this sense, the public service pension plan is in much the same situation as other defined benefit pension plans that are in trouble today because of the contribution holidays taken by many employers between 1994 and 2003."
The unions now want representation on the board of directors managing the pension funds.
"It is our belief that if employees are required to pay 50 per cent of the plan's costs, they should also be entitled to have an equal say in the plan's direction and administration," Poirier said.

iOS has matured as a music-making platform in recent years, but those of us who wish to hook-up a real MIDI controller such as a keyboard or drum machine to an iPad or iPhone generally need to use a couple of cables and adapters per device. It's a minor issue, but one that feels distinctly un-Apple. The PUC iOS MIDI interface by Zivix promises to free iOS music-makers from this hassle by enabling a MIDI controller to connect to an iOS device wirelessly. Read More

Sally Pearson progresses in the 60m hurdles
American shot putter Ryan Whiting retained his world indoor title in thrilling style on Friday as Nadine Broersen claimed the Netherlands' first ever women's pentathlon gold.
In a packed opening day at the Ergo Arena at the Polish Baltic Sea resort town of Sopot, a host of other favourites safely negotiated their heats ahead of finals over the weekend.
In a gripping shot put contest, Whiting managed a best of 22.05 metres on his fourth attempt to finish 26cm ahead of Germany's two-time outdoor champion David Storl, the early leader. New Zealand's Tomas Walsh claimed a surprise bronze (21.26m) to break home hearts, as the hugely popular Tomasz Majewski finished 22cm short of the podium.
The 23-year-old Broersen racked up 4,830 points from the five disciplines of 60m hurdles, high jump, shot put, long jump and 800m that make up the pentathlon.
Her victory ruined any chance of golden marital bliss for Canada's silver medallist Brianne Thiesen Eaton, whose American husband Ashton Eaton was primed for top spot on the podium in the men's heptathlon.
Eaton put her silver-medal showing, in what was the closest ever world indoor pentathlon with just 273 points separating the eight athletes, down to a lack of mental steel. "It wasn't so much the physical thing I struggled with, but more a little bit mentally, getting excited to compete at this meet," she said.
In other events, a host of familiar faces advanced smoothly through their heats, notably Australian Sally Pearson, who matched her season best of 7.79 seconds to easily progress in the 60m hurdles. "I was quite nervous out there because it is the first round," said Pearson, who claimed the world outdoor 100m hurdles title in 2011 in Daegu and went on to win the Olympic gold in London a year later.
The results: On Friday: Men: Shot put: 1. Ryan Whiting (USA) 22.05m; 2. David Storl (Ger) 21.79; 3. Tomas Walsh (NZ) 21.26.
Women: Pentathlon: 1. Nadine Broersen (Ned) 4,830 points; 2. Brianne Theisen-Eaton (Can) 4,768; 3. Alina Fyodorova (Ukr) 4,724.

There are Easter events all over the Mohawk Valley every year, some of which come and go, but there are three mainstays that are always a huge hit among the Utica public year after year, and if you manage your time right, you just may be able to attend them all
The Adirondack Scenic Railroad recently held a 'railfan' weekend which allowed fans of trains and locomotives to view the ADK railroad as they passed through locations like Remsen, Holland Patent, Big Moose and Thendara.
The joy of the Easter season is upon us so why not take the family on a train ride, and meet the Easter Bunny! You'll travel from the Holland Patent Station to the Remsen Depot. At Remsen, you'll hunt for Easter eggs, meet the Easter bunny, and then return on the same day, Saturday, March 30th.
This Independence Day has special meaning for the Adirondack Scenic Railroad. The tourist line through New York's North County celebrates 20 years since their first run.
The popular 'Polar Express' train which takes children on a Christmas-themed train ride to the North Country derailed just minutes out from Utica's Union Station.

Message from the Director
The benefits of parks and recreation can be a walk in the woods. It can be the sense of exhilaration for the child who hits the ball with a bat for the very first time. It can be the positive feeling of exhaustion that volunteers feel at the end of the day. Or it might be the sense of connection people feel when gathered with others to enjoy a fireworks display. So, whether you are an avid participant or occasional observer of parks and recreation, enjoy the benefits.

Theo Martins ft. Jesse Boykins III - You Don't See
Artist: Theo Martins
Featuring: Jesse Boykins III
Producer: Devon Who
Album: You Can't Do That on TV: The Prequel
Avg Rating: 2.6 ( 11 votes )
For many artists, the musical grind and the fame that (sometimes) results are endless sources of stress. Theo Martins is a different breed. If the dreamy feel of his latest feature is any indication, he finds the music game about as relaxing as a nice, steamy bubblebath… on Valium (kids, don't try that one at home). You Don't See finds the Rhode Island-based boat shoe aficionado lifting the veil to give listeners a glimpse of what makes him tick, describing his drive to succeed in a calm, almost murmured flow as beatsmith Devon Who blends simmering synths, powerful bass and headphone-worthy electronic accents. Contributing a characteristically breathy hook, Jesse Boykins III once again asserts his dominance of the "singer who appears on narcotically chill cuts with rappers whose names start with Theo" niche. This track is definitely a change of pace from the headliner's previous features, but is this hazy style a good look for Theo Martins? If you're digging it, be sure to check out You Can't Do That On TV: The Prequel when it drops in January 2010, as well as his forthcoming EP with Hall of Justus, due out February 2.

If someone hits a slow, peaceful, quiet moonball to the middle of the court, I would probably qualify it as a "poor" or a "pushed" moonball. But, if someone crushes a paced, violently spinning moonball to the backhand corner--
which you amusingly referred to as a sunball, lol!
--I would qualify it as a "good" or "great" moonball.
You mentioned the looping topspin shot (which I've always thought was a hilarious name for a shot). If you loop a topspin in a rally to the back of the court in a rally (not passing someone), I would call it a moonball. If you hit a high looping topspin short angle, and you don't want to use the term short angle, you could probably say looping topspin short angle. I don't think moonball would qualify in this instance.
In that video you posted, Nadal clears the net by a little more than 6 feet (9+ feet off the ground). I consider that a great moonball: good trajectory, nice pace, deep, and aimed at the corner.
Good post. I think your definition is good.
I concede.

text: 1911 slide/frame fit [Archive] - Glock Talk Glock Talk > Firearms Forums > 1911 Forums > 1911 slide/frame fit PDA View Full Version : 1911 slide/frame fit RMTactical03-12-2011, 01:01For those of you with extensive 1911 experience, is there any connection between slide/frame fit and reliability? GJ198103-12-2011, 07:24The biggest thing for the reliability is the pistol being setup properly. I've had tight pistols choke and others that were equally tight run perfectly. I'm sure there are times when these uber tight S/F could give problems, but I haven't had such problems WHEN the pistol was built right where it mattered. If you're going to be rolling around in fine sand, well, I'd get a different pistol. I don't know why but it seems tight 1911's are a bragging right to some. I'll put it this way, I've never seen a 1911 fail solely for having play in the S/F. Jim S.03-12-2011, 07:51GJ hit on it when he said "Built Properly". When the frame and slide are "tight" it may require more attention to proper lubrication and cleaning than a factory loose fit gun. Under normal conditions it is usually not a factor. It also doesn't play as big a part in accuracy as most people believe it does. wmspdi03-12-2011, 09:13For a gun with slide mounted sights and optics the slide to frame fit only accounts for about 5-10% of accuracy at best (per articles I have read by 1911 smiths). The slide-bushing-barrel fit and lock-up is much more important to accuracy on these guns. The slide to frame fit is much more important for 1911s with frame mounted optics. The slide must return to the exact same position on the frame each time it cycles to realign the barrel with the frame mounted red dot optics. vBulletin® v3.8.7, Copyright ©2000-2015, vBulletin Solutions, Inc.

Atlas, a City on the Hill-based ministry, will host its first-ever craft show in November.
Atlas, a City on the Hill-based ministry, will host its first-ever craft show in November.
Billed as an early Christmas-shopping opportunity, the Craft & Vendor Show will feature Christmas gifts, handmade items, home services and other unique items during its Nov. 8 and 9 debut.
Atlas provides Christian mentoring and support to adults who need help, with such services as creating a survival and recovery plan, a one-year one-on-one mentoring arrangement, resources for long-term assistance or emergency situations, prayers and hopeful encouragement.
"People can rent tables and we do have some spaces left," said Faith Avery, Atlas' executive director, in an email to The Sentinel. "We would really love to have more hand-crafted items!"
The deadline to reserve a table is Oct 28. Booth rentals are $30 or $50, depending on the booth size, and each vendor must donate one handmade item from home to the sale. Current vendors include crafters and home-based businesses for cookware and cosmetics, as well as a massage service.
The Atlas Craft & Vendor Show is scheduled for 3-7 p.m. Nov. 8 and 9 a.m.-2 p.m. Nov. 9 in the conference room at City on a Hill, 100 Pine St., Zeeland (Pine Street entrance.) Learn more at sharetheweight.org or call (616) 748-6017.

How Do I Adjust The Touch Screen Sensitivity Or Vibration (Haptics) On My Verizon Wireless SCH-i400 Continuum Phone?
Haptic feedback,when enabled, provides a slight vibration when you interact with the display. Haptic feedback vibration intensity can be adjusted to 5 different levels control the vibration being felt. Haptics assist in providing an extra sensory input experience
The SCH-i400 does not contain an option to control touch sensitivity. With the Capacitive S-AMOLED display combined with hardware supporting multitouch, the touch sensitivity settings found in older devices are felt to not be needed.
In order to configure available settings, follow the steps below:
Note: If the options are not selectable, Silent mode should be disabled. The setting is located at the top of the menu.
Important Notice: The higher the level of vibration intensity values may cause a drop in battery performance. Should you notice this and becomes an impact to usability, try setting the values lower.

Latest Herschel Space Observatory Stories
Recently, the infrared Herschel Space Observatory, has taken a series of beautiful high-resolution infrared images of Andromeda. It is the first time we can see M31, at these wavelengths, at such a high resolution.
What makes one rose bush blossom with flowers, while another remains barren? Astronomers ask a similar question of galaxies, wondering how some flourish with star formation and others barely bloom.
The region in space around a planetary nebula is filled with harsh radiation. Yet despite this hostile environment, the area is seeded with a molecule essential to the formation of water.
The Herschel Space Observatory has uncovered a weird ring of dusty material while obtaining one of the sharpest scans to date of a huge cloud of gas and dust, called NGC 7538.
With the assistance of the European Space Agency's Herschel Space Observatory, astronomers have located a young galaxy rotating in a calmer, more mature manner similar to more developed ones like the Milky Way.
Using a novel way of combining data from the two European Space Agency (ESA) satellites Planck and Herschel, an international team of scientists has been able to locate more distant galaxy clusters than previously possible.
The European Space Agency's (ESA) billion-star surveyor mission is slowly beginning to see more clearly. The Gaia spacecraft took a test image of a dense star of clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud to help fine tune its instruments.
WASHINGTON, Jan.
The European Space Agency announced on Monday, June 17, that the Herschel Space Telescope had been shut down, marking the end of operations for the hugely successful space observatory.
The building blocks of stars, molecular gases and clouds, are strewn across the Milky Way, and a new study has found that scientists have been underestimating the amount of gas in the galaxy by about one-third.

Whether as migrant-sending or migrant-receiving locations—or both—many countries have rich, complex international and internal migration histories. MPI's online journal, the Migration Information Source, offers profiles of more than 70 nations. Written by leading scholars, these profiles delve into countries' migration histories, demographics, policymaking, and more.
Visit the Source's Country Resources section.
Economic, social, and political conditions have pushed North Koreans to illegally leave their country and migrate to South Korea, China, Russia, and elsewhere. MPI's Hiroyuki Tanaka examines humanitarian and economic migration flows from North Korea, and the situation of North Koreans living abroad.
Thousands of Salvadorans fled the country during its civil war in the 1980s, many of them to the United States. The government is focused on engaging its diaspora but also must deal with immigrants from neighboring countries and issues around human trafficking.
Macedonia avoided the interethnic conflict that ripped through the former Yugoslavia in the early 1990s. It was the only state to emerge with its independence (in 1991) and no loss of blood.
While Ethiopians have long followed seasonal migration patterns within the Horn of Africa, it was only after the political upheavals of the 1970s that they began to settle in the West, as MPI's Aaron Matteo Terrazas reports.
A classic labor-surplus nation, Indonesia sends thousands of low-skilled workers every year to countries in the Middle East and elsewhere in Asia, particularly neighboring Malaysia. Graeme Hugo of the University of Adelaide provides an updated look at this and other migration trends in the world's fourth most populous country.

My input from talking to Mike last week.
-I believe the QDs were updated all-metal ones.
Just speculating now but I've seen the plastic high pressure fuel lines on the R series bikes break on occasion...particularly when they get old or are smacked in just the right way.
Several years ago there was a tale of a GS rider in Southern Oregon who noticed his right leg getting warm while on the freeway one day while riding....apparently he looked down at his leg and saw a trailing flame that would catch up to him when he tried to slow down. Eventually he stopped and was able to get the flame out....I believe this leak was due to a bad o-ring or QD.
So, inspect your fuel lines, injector lines and QDs. And update the plastic QDs to the metal version and carry extra o-rings, injector line clamps and a dual barbed fitting to splice a line without a QD or in the event that one should fail.
