The Canada-China FIPA Restricts Canada's Climate Options
Guest | June 30, 2015
By Guest • Tuesday, June 30, 2015 - 11:58
This is a guest post by Gus Van Harten, professor at the Osgoode Hall Law School and author of Sold Down the Yangtze: Canada's Lopsided Investment Deal with China. This post originally appeared on the Globe and Mail.
For years, Prime Minister Stephen Harper's government told Canadians that it could not act on climate change until China joined in. Yet, in 2014, the government quietly finalized a 31-year investment treaty that, in essence, gives Chinese oil companies an advance bailout against a range of steps that Canada may need to take on climate change.
Take, for example, the call by more than 100 scientists for limits on oilsands expansion until a serious Canadian plan on climate change is in place. What is a serious plan? The scientists said it would need "to rapidly reduce carbon pollution, safeguard biodiversity, protect human health and respect treaty rights."
Now, consider Canada's new Foreign Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement (FIPA) with China.

This is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/066,010, filed Feb. 2, 2002 now abandoned, which is incorporated herein by reference.
This invention relates to flat panel luminaires having embedded light guides for controlled light extraction. More particularly, this invention relates to flat panel luminaires having embedded light guides of irregular tetrahedral shape.
Numerous applications use optical fibers for illumination. A typical application involves multiple optical fibers or bundles to propagate light to an open end of the fiber. Other applications propagate light along the entire length of a light guide to extract light at intervals rather than provide light at only the terminal end of the fiber. Numerous approaches have been proposed to achieve such interval light extraction from optical light guides or fibers. However, each proposal has disadvantages that limit the application or render it impractical.
For example, a known light guide encloses a wave guide in a transparent sleeve or cladding that contains embedded light-reflecting particles or powders. The transparent sleeve or cladding has an index of refraction greater than the index of refraction of the wave guide. This higher index of refraction causes conversion of a light propagation mode to a cladding mode at the proximal end of the wave guide. This depletes beam intensity as the light traverses the full length of the guide. Furthermore, the suspension of particles or powders within the sleeve can cause excessive absorption of the light within the transmitting medium itself. To attempt to overcome the lack of light extraction control, discontinuities, such as cuts or air bubbles, which disperse the propagating light, are included at regular intervals. The introduction of these discontinuities at regular intervals along the core can be difficult to produce and may not allow for continuous light extraction.
Another known type of light guide uses a light transmission element containing light diffusing layers or elements. The diffusing layers are convex or concave and are used to extract light at a specific wavelength. The light diffusing layers can be arranged such that all layers have increasing density (but constant thickness) toward the distal end of the transmitting medium. This light guide uses discrete diffusing elements without consideration of the quantitative light extraction capabilities of these elements.
In another known light guide, the number of light scattering elements increases toward the distal end of the light conductor. The disadvantages of this and the previous light extraction device include discontinuity of the light sources and difficulty in correctly spacing and sizing the extraction elements to provide controlled light extraction from the light guide. Furthermore, the manufacturing and assembly of these devices is awkward and costly.
Another known device also uses discrete elements to extract light from an optical fiber in conjunction with a light panel. This device uses angular recesses and does not provide means to control quantitatively the light extraction. The result is that illumination from the downstream recesses is progressively lower.
Also known is the use of a "curve-linear" tapering of the cross-sectional area of a fiber optic, wherein the flattened surface is abraded or painted. The tapering of the fiber optic provides a way of illuminating perpendicularly to the face of the distal end of the fiber optic. Additionally, it is known to paint elongated triangular reflective stripes onto a plastic plate. This latter technique does not allow enough area for practical light emission for general illumination. The light injection end in both these known techniques does not provide enough distance for an even light flux and will result in the formation of bright spots at the injection end.
In yet another known device, a matrix of dots is applied on a substantially transparent material. The dots have increased diameters as they lay distal to the light-injecting edge of a flat panel. This method is again limited by the actual area of reflectance.
In sum, known devices and methods generally include two dimensional light propagation over a flat panel in which light output is limited by the area of the reflective coating or treatment.
In view of the foregoing, it would be desirable to provide a flat panel luminaire in which the limitations associated with emitting light along an entire length of a light guide are substantially, if not completely, overcome.
It is an object of this invention to provide apparatus and methods for extracting light from an edge lit panel in a controlled and continuous manner as light traverses an optical transmitting medium.
It is also an object of this invention to provide apparatus and methods for extracting light in a continuous manner at a predetermined rate as light traverses an optical transmitting medium.
It is further an object of this invention to provide linear light sources having a predetermined relative luminosity as light traverses an optical transmitting medium.
It is a still further object of this invention to provide apparatus and methods in which all received light is extracted along an optical transmitting medium or, alternatively, a residual portion is allowed to be emitted at a distal end of the transmitting medium.
In accordance with the invention, a flat panel luminaire is provided that includes a light-emitting panel having a tapered light-injection area joined to a light-emitting zone. The light-emitting zone is comprised of preferably highly transmissive plastic or glass in which irregular tetrahedrally-shaped grooves (i.e., light guides) are embedded. The grooves have a surface area on two sides that gradually increase from the edge of the light-injection area to the distal end of the light-emitting zone. The amount of the light emitted is determined by the surface area and reflectance of the grooves.
The luminaire of the invention also includes a light source, which can be remote, and an optical light pipe transporting light flux from the light source to the light-emitting panel.
The luminaire of the invention advantageously provides continuous light extracted from the light guides in a controlled manner. The luminaire of the invention can advantageously replace fluorescent and other types of luminaires whose applications may be limited by space restrictions, heat production, maintenance requirements, or other limitations associated with common light sources.
Methods of illumination in accordance with the invention are also provided.
The above and other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent upon consideration of the following detailed description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which like reference characters refer to like parts throughout, and in which:
Light-emitting panel 200 operates as follows: light flux from a light source (e.g., light source 101) enters tapered light-injection area 203 at narrow end 205 via an optical light pipe or fiber (e.g., optical light pipe 102). Tapered light-injection area 203 serves as a coupling area from an optical light pipe to light-emitting zone 202. Narrow end 205 is sized and shaped to preferably match the size and shape of the transporting light pipe or fiber, while the wide end of area 203 is sized and shaped to preferably match the size and shape of the end of light-emitting zone 202 proximate the light-injection area. The light flux that enters the light-injection area from the light pipe or fiber is highly organized. The light-injection area should be of sufficient length to preserve the light source radiant flux density over the area from narrow end 205 to the proximal end of light-emitting zone 202. The light flux is evenly averaged and distributed across the proximal end of the light-emitting zone by total internal reflection. Additionally, the tapered light-injection area may be bent over a radius of 10 times one-half its thickness or greater. Once the light enters light-emitting zone 203 and embedded light guides 201, both reflection and refraction modes of light propagation occur.
As shown in
Referring to
Light emitted from the luminaire of the invention can come directly from the light-injection area through the base layer or from light reflected up from the mirror layer and then through the base layer.
The invention also provides a method for illuminating an area. The method for illuminating an area includes generating a light flux from a light source, transporting the light flux from the light source to a tapered enclosure (e.g., light-injection area 203), and propagating the light flux through a tetrahedrally-shaped groove in which the surface area of the groove increases in the direction of light flux propagation. This method, in accordance with the invention, results in a substantial and continuous emanation of light in a direction transverse to the groove along substantially the entire length of the groove.
The invention is particularly useful for general or task lighting in applications that normally use fluorescent, filament, or arc-type light bulbs. For example, the luminaire can be surface mounted or hung and the luminaire can be fashioned to fit into existing or new "T" grid drop ceilings for use in residential or commercial office lighting. Furthermore, because the light panels have no parts that can wear out and thus require replacement, they can be permanently sealed into clean room air plenums. Likewise, luminaires in accordance with the invention are ideal for use in areas that are difficult to access, such as, for example, back lit billboards. Moreover, the light-emitting surface can be advantageously manufactured in very large sections for such applications.
The luminaire of the invention is advantageous with respect to applications where, for example, space restrictions, maintenance access, heat generation, environmental temperatures, moisture sensitivity, explosive ignition and/or crush or explosion due to hypo- or hyperbaric pressures are an issue. Advantageously, the luminaire of the invention can be used in explosive or caustic atmospheres and is generally unaffected by environmental temperatures and pressures to the extent that the base materials are not affected. Moreover, if heat generated from the light source is an issue, the light source of the invention can be located such that generated heat can be discarded to lower air conditioning requirements or can be recycled to provide heat for other uses.
Advantageously, controlled, continuous and uniform luminosity is provided by luminaires of the invention because the light guides provide less reflectance (via smaller surface areas) when received light flux intensity is greatest while providing greater reflectance (via larger surface areas) as the received light flux loses intensity.
Thus it is seen that flat panel luminaires having embedded irregular tetrahedrally-shaped light guides are provided. One skilled in the art will appreciate that the invention can be practiced by other than the described embodiments, which are presented for purposes of illustration and not of limitation, and the invention is limited only by the claims which follow.

NHL on NBCSN: Kings face tough test in Chicago
Mar 25, 2013, 8:03 AM EDT
NBCSN's ongoing coverage of the 2013 campaign will continue tonight when the Chicago Blackhawks host the Los Angeles Kings at the United Center at 8:00 p.m. ET.
The Los Angeles Kings know better than any team in the league that as long as you make the playoffs, anything can happen. However, with roughly two-thirds of their season in the books, they still have a lot of work to do if they want to secure a postseason berth.
The Kings haven't scored a goal in their last 126:14 minutes of playing time and that's the setup for their upcoming five-game road trip that kicks off tonight in Chicago.
Los Angeles, like most teams, has been unable to beat the 24-3-3 Blackhawks this season. The fact that the Kings facing them in Chicago, where the Blackhawks have only suffered one regulation loss in 2013, just adds to the daunting task ahead of them.
After being shutout of back-to-back contests, it's clear that the Kings as a team need to step up their game, but the heat has to be on Jeff Carter in particular. That might seem unfair, but when he's hot, he's been the difference for the Kings this season. They are 13-1-1 when he finds the back of the net and 4-11-1 when the opposition silences him.
Unfortunately for Los Angeles, the 28-year-old forward has gone cold lately with just two points in his last eight games and he didn't even manage a single shot on goal on Saturday.
For Chicago, this game is principally about not allowing themselves to relax or lose confidence as they enter a dangerous part of the season. The Blackhawks don't really have much left to play for until the playoffs, except the bragging rights that come with finishing the season with the top record in the NHL.
Even if Chicago plays mediocre hockey for the rest of the campaign, they'll still probably end up with at least the second seed, but letting up now could bleed into the first round, so they need to find ways to stay motivated. They might not need this win in the same way that the Kings do, but they definitely want it and aren't about to roll over and let the Kings take these two points without a fight.
Probable goaltenders: CHI – Corey Crawford (13-3-3, 1.86 GAA, .926 SV%) | LAK – Jonathan Quick (10-10-2, 2.47 GAA, .897 SV%)
Top scorers: CHI – Patrick Kane (16-22-38, 30 GP) | LAK – Anze Kopitar (9-19-28, 30 GP)
Notable Injuries:
Chicago – Forwards: Marian Hossa (upper body), Patrick Sharp (shoulder)
Los Angeles – Defensemen: Willie Mitchell (knee), Matt Greene (back)
- comeonnowguys - Mar 25, 2013 at 10:47 AM
The Blackhawks have tremendous incentive to not let up. Four games on that Anaheim ice would be miserable.
- blomfeld - Mar 25, 2013 at 12:18 PM
*** the following is intended for fans of the reigning Stanley Cup Champions only ***
After reaching the midway point of our season on the upswing at 14-8-2, we Kings have since been alarmingly "lackluster" going 3-4 thus far during the second half. That has to change "now" and there's no better place to do that than against the Hawks tonight, right there in their own barn! The truth is that our entire team from "back to front" needs to play better, though especially our offense, which for some reason continues with it's fickle ways? The bottom line is that we can't afford to use last year as a template by "sneaking in" again as a 7th or 8th seed. The WC is simply too strong this year to allow for a repeat of last year's magic. Rather, we Kings need to be "ferociously" storming into this year's playoffs, like Navy Seal Team 6 kicking in the rotten door to some miserable gangster hideout!
Now I've nothing against the Blackhawks personally and I commend them for their excellent play this year. But that's beside the point. We Kings need to beat these people and we need to beat them "badly"! As you know friends, last year we took on the NHL's very "best" teams and we made the "lot of them" them look silly by destroying them in detail. Well now's the time for us to start doing that again and that begins tonight in Chicago!
Blomfeld's prediction: Kings by a touchdown !

TOAA wins because he's God.
Do Not Use Unbeatable Characters
Simple rule and one that should be obvious as it falls under the spite thread rules, but I'll spell it out so everyone can see it. No more using omnipotent characters. By using characters like TOAA, Bugs Bunny (just cause the fact of his toonforce being ridiculous), Presence (or Over-Monitor whatever), MoM etc, we don't get debates. We get either a stalemate between omnipotent characters, which lacks a debate as they can't do anything to each other, or destroys any other character(s) even if you stack abstracts against them. If you can't feasibly beat a character then don't use it. If you see someone using essentially unbeatable characters like TOAA or ridiculous toonforce capabilities like Bugs Bunny, flag it. Even if the character is created and falls under the category, flag it. These threads offer nothing and clog up the forum.

Alchemist Theatre's 'King Lear' reigns as family drama
Early in Friday's opening-night performance of Alchemist Theatre's "King Lear," Bo Johnson's aged king called for the map demonstrating his intended division of Britain among his three daughters. Lear's attendants dutifully unfurled it — with the bottom at the top and the top at the bottom. When they tried to hang the map up, it kept falling down.
Director Leda Hoffmann confirmed during intermission that this sequence wasn't planned. But such a topsy-turvy world aptly illustrates the disorder that descends on Britain once the hot-tempered Lear banishes his beloved Cordelia, counting on his remaining two daughters to keep him and Britain safe. »Read Full Article

Ever since EL James' new masterwork "Grey: Fifty Shades of Grey as Told by Christian" became a runaway bestseller, everyone who can read has been clambering for more! Luckily, these upcoming titles have just been leaked to me. (Caution: Spoilers.)
In a week that saw landmark decisions for both health care and gay marriage, the Supreme Court, in another hotly contested issue amongst the justices, voted 5-4 to legally recognize fans of the Canadian supergroup, Rush.
Granted, a list like this is rendered almost meaningless by the fact that, as we all know, everyone is going to spend their money differently. That said, there is still such a thing as a "waste of money." Here are five examples.
For the uninitiated imagine, if you will, two men, standing in the spotlight. One is shrewd, razor-sharp. The other not so much.
Modern comedy is a tough business, especially in Los Angeles. This is a city where people take themselves very seriously. Almost too seriously.
Happy Fourth of July week! What better way to celebrate the creation of the United States than to check out some bizarrely inventive laws our state governments created? Did you know that in Massachusetts gorillas are not allowed in the backseat of your car? Check out this video and find out what other hilarious legislation has been passed in the last 250 years.
In celebration of Friday's decision by the Supreme Court to legalize marriage between consenting adults (a weird thing for the Supreme Court to have to weigh in on, really), I present a recording of a performance from a few years ago of my poem, Corner of Starbucks and Christopher Street.
We live in a wondrous age of age-defying wonder. If you've made it to 30, hey, it's pretty much the new 20. Then comes that other big milestone, 40. Have no fear; it's the new 30.
Why should we support same-sex marriage?
Sundays are so boring.
Why is coming out of the closet not an issue anymore?
Kirill Bichutsky, aka @SlutWhisperer, is a self-proclaimed Ugly Russian Jew. He made a name for himself as a New York City nightlife photographer, before graduating into that guy who pours champagne (among other beverages) all over the faces and bare chests of beautiful women.
Can we talk seriously, just for a moment, about weddings. Like, really have a serious conversation about weddings and why they're one giant, annoying, unnecessary, selfish, Ponzi scheme. Yes... a Ponzi scheme.
I have a female roommate in a spare room in my home (who is also a blogger) and she posted this image of pink razors (that was taken inside my personal bathroom) with her snarky caption!
When we lovingly laugh in our own face, we invite others to drop their defenses. This facilitates trust and communication, and liberates energy to move forward in beneficial collaboration.

University of Tehran, Bachelor of Science (BS), Electrical and Electronics Engineering, 2010
I was born in the capital of Iran, Tehran, and spent my whole life in Iran before coming to the United States.I graduated from the University of Tehran, the oldest and most prestigious university in Iran, in 2010 with a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering. Since I was among the top students, I was granted the admission to get my masters without taking the entrance exam.However, to explore more, I left Iran with the hope of achieving a higher quality research experience.I entered the University of Notre Dame to pursue my studies in 2010.
Summary of Activities/Interests
My master's thesis topic is chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) of gold:
Gold, as a noble metal, has always been of great interest in nanotechnology due to its resistance to oxidation and corrosion. This characteristic however, makes gold patterning challenging. As my masters project, I focused on different additives, oxidizers and surfactants, to improve the outcome of Au CMP. Gold can be a desirable candidate for next generation interconnect technology.
My PhD project focuses on single electron transistor(SET) fabrication:
(SETs) are the most sensitive electrometers to date. Several methods have been used to fabricate Si based SETs, however, metal SETs have always been challenging due to constraints in lithography and sub nm dielectric deposition. In my project, electron beam lithography, chemical mechanical polishing,and atomic layer deposition are used to fabricate nano-damascene metal SETs
I also have thoroughly studied electron beam lithography, and have developed T-gate fabrication technology in U of Notre Dame for the first time.

BlueCross BlueShield doctor rating system goes online
BlueCross BlueShield, the state's largest health insurer, recently began posting rating information about individual doctors on its Web site.
BlueCross' efforts to involve doctors in the rating process seem to have won grudging acceptance of the practice, though the two sides still disagree on some points.
Physicians questioned the accuracy of the data earlier this year, which prompted the insurer to delay the start date from March until Sept. 15 and hold meetings with doctors around the state.
"Probably the most important part about it is is that BlueCross and (the Tennessee Medical Association) are still working together," said Dr. Robert Kirkpatrick, a Memphis physician who's TMA president.
For now, the doctor rating information is available only to the 2.4 million Tennesseeans who receive commercial insurance through BlueCross. People on government programs that BlueCross administers can't see the data.
The ratings are based solely on how often the doctor performed eight screening tests for patients at risk for conditions such as breast cancer, though the insurer plans to expand the criteria over time.
The grades on each item are expressed as circles: a filled-in circle means that in at-risk patients, a doctor performed the test at above-average rates. A half-full circle shows the doctor ordered the test at average rates, and an empty circle shows the doctor ordered them at below-average rates.
The ratings only cover about 4,000 doctors, since not all physicians perform these eight tests.
Doctors complained that these ratings are based on claims data, the information that physicians submit to insurance companies when they seek reimbursement.
They say this data is incomplete. For instance, it doesn't show items that the doctor didn't bill for, such as telling a patient that he should stop smoking, Kirkpatrick said.
A technique called a chart audit would be more accurate, but this is time-consuming and expensive, Kirkpatrick said.
BlueCross spokesman Scott Wilson acknowledges the drawbacks of using claims data, but says there's not much choice for now.
"We're an insurance company, and that's what we have," he said.
As electronic medical record systems improve, they might be the best solution, Kirkpatrick said.
The insurer is also publishing the median amount that the doctor charges for treating various conditions, and how his or her charges compare with peers.
BlueCross's decision to publish data about doctors reflects a nationwide trend toward demanding higher quality from the health care sector.
A 1999 report from the Institute of Medicine concluded that preventable medical errors were causing tens of thousands of patient deaths each year. Private insurers and government health insurance companies now publish quality data about hospitals and nursing homes.
The latest trend is rating individual physicians.
At the same time, new types of insurance plans that put more pressure on patients to decide how to spend their health care dollars. For instance, many plans now combine a high deductible with a health savings account.
Such plans now make up 10 percent of BlueCross's commercially insured patients, Wilson said.

Diagnosing doctors
BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee is rating doctors based on how often they performed these tests in high-risk patients:
Chlamydia screening for women
Colorectal cancer screening
Mammography screening (for breast cancer)
Cervical cancer screening
Four tests for diabetes, including an eye test
BlueCross is also publishing data on the cost of doctors' services and their board certifications.

Customer Testimonial
I finally cast my vote after being here for half a year, and I can firmly say SH is the best hosting I have ever had (out of seven years of hopping hosts.. having used about ten different ones!). I recommend SH to anyone I know who either already buys hosting or needs it.
I wrote that about almost a year ago, and my opinion hasn't changed. Whenever someone asks me about hosting or domains, I recommend Surpass. The hosting reason is obvious, unbelievable prices with amazing uptime (which is why I just upgraded my package). And even though the domains aren't the cheapest.. the best reason to come to SH is for the amazing support.
I've submitted several tickets in a frenzy (hey, things going wrong makes me worried), and all of my tickets have been answered with polite and well done answers, explaining to me anything I need to know. If there was something to be resolved, it was resolved fast - I think the fastest I ever waited for a reply was around three hours, and that was quite late at night.
I think I finally found my permanent host after so many years I can trust with a hosted blog where I don't have to worry about loss or hopping ever again.
So, thanks Surpass,
