Linux New Media Launches Smart Developer
Lawrence, KS, USA: Linux New Media USA, LLC, announces the launch of Smart Developer , a new print publication for developers and decision makers in the mobile application development industry.
Smart Developer will be published quarterly and will cover development tools and coding techniques for all major smartphone platforms, including Apple iOS, Android, MeeGO, WebOS, and Blackberry. The magazine also includes phone and mobile app reviews, as well as feature stories on important developments in the mobile industry.
"The whole high-tech world is buzzing about the emergence of mobile app stores and the growing cottage industry of custom mobile development," says Smart Developer Editor in Chief Joe Casad, "Other periodical offerings were all targeted to end users, and mostly novice end users. We saw the need for a smart, technical magazine for the experts who are actually writing all these mobile apps, and for other programmers and industry professionals who are interested in joining or watching the app-development field. Smart Developer readers are mobile app programmers, power users, mobile sales and integration specialists, and managers who are looking for insights on bringing their products and services into the mobile arena."
Smart Developer provides a unique opportunity for vendors who build mobile platforms, hardware, and tools to reach a core audience of readers who deploy and use those tools in a real-world setting. According to Smart Developer Associate Publisher Rikki Kite, "This isn't just a niche market. Mobile development is a burgeoning industry that is just getting off the ground, and we're excited that Smart Developer will have a special role in telling the world about it."
In 2007, Linux New Media opened a North American office in Lawrence, Kansas. In addition to the new Smart Developer magazine, the company launched Admin: Network & Security magazine in 2010 and Ubuntu User magazine in 2009. Editors in the rapidly growing North American office also produce the monthly print magazines Linux Pro Magazine , Linux Magazine (international English edition), and special publications including Google Tools, Powerhouse Perl, and The Linux Shell Handbook.

Dear American Girl,
One of my best friends moved away. She was thoughtful and kind and the glue that held my group of friends together. Ever since she left, everything has changed. We constantly fight and bicker, and a couple of the girls aren't even speaking to each other. Is there anything I can do to help us to be friends again?
-Friends or foes?
Here's your advice:
Don't try to be someone you're not—no one can replace your friend—but think about what she did to keep your friends together. What can you do to help? If, despite your efforts, your friends aren't responding, leave it that way. You can't force people together, but you can maintain friendships with the girls who are nice.
-Jackie, age 13, Maine
If your friends start to argue, take a deep breath and calm down. If you aren't feeling angry, you can think of something to say that will help and not hurt.
-Maggie, age 9, New Jersey
Suggest a fun activity, such as making crafts or watching a movie. You and your friends might have so much fun that you'll forget to argue.
-Jessica, age 13, Wisconsin
The best thing you can do is to just be nice to each girl. Remember, you can't make other people be friends, but you can try to be friends with everyone.
-Erin, age 11, Michigan
Sometimes when my friends are unhappy with one another, I remind them of all the happy times we've had together. It usually helps a lot.
-Isobel, age 9, Illinois
Talk to your friends and say, "I know it has been hard since our friend left, but we still have each other. I think the reason we're fighting is that we're sad. We should stick together to get through this, or else we might lose even more friendships."
-Cassady, age 13, Colorado
All of you still have one thing in common—how much you miss your friend! Write a nice letter together to send to her, and talk about how great she was. This might bring you closer together.
-Sophia, age 12, New Jersey
When my friends have been fighting, I've thrown a sleepover. Have your friends come over and play your favorite games. At first it might be rough to get along, but eventually they might have fun. If games don't work, ask the girls if they'd like to talk things out. Good luck!
-Samantha, age 10, Texas
Tell your friends that fighting is only going to pull everyone apart and make each girl lonely. Try to be the peacemaker.
-Lydia, age 13, Ohio
Do this activity with your friends: Ask each girl to write on a slip of paper one thing she likes about every person in your group of friends. Then exchange slips. Focusing on what drew you to be friends in the first place might put a stop to the fighting.
-Malia, age 12, Florida
When your friends start to argue, speak up. Let them know that they make you feel uncomfortable when they fight. Remind them that you all are friends, and tell them that you could all be happier if everyone would stop arguing.
-An American Girl fan, age 13, Washington, D.C.
Remind your friends that your friend who moved away was just one person. You shouldn't throw away all of your friendships just because one person moved.
-Lauren, age 11, Bermuda
Think of actions that your good friend used to do to keep your group of friends going strong. What did your other friends like about her that made her the "glue"? If you try to do the things that she did, it might repair friendships, and you could become the glue. If that doesn't work, it wouldn't hurt to have a heart-to-heart with your buddies. That way, you could think of solutions while working together as a team.
-Mackenzie, age 12, Ohio

Mark this coming Sept. 28 on your calendar. On that day, what is expected to be the first annual �IonaFest� will take place, bringing a variety of art and cultural events to venues across Rhode Island.
The planned festival is an inspired and fitting tribute to Iona Dobbins, a passionate arts advocate who died last summer, at 82. In a career that spanned several decades, Ms. Dobbins was an indefatigable promoter of the arts, helping numerous arts institutions take root and encouraging new artists to stick with their calling.
Ms. Dobbins understood the vital role the arts play in Rhode Island�s economy, and worked hard to ensure that state leaders shared her view. She was particularly drawn to the visual arts so, fittingly, the festival will be organized in its first year by the Art League of Rhode Island.
Among the activities to look forward to in September: gallery exhibits; dance performances; concerts; and a New Orleans-style �second line� parade through Providence.
We can think of no better tribute to Iona Dobbins, nor to the vital role that the arts play in Rhode Island.

Research Summary:
Burn is a severe trauma to patients inducing various responses in the body such as stress, inflammation, hypermetabolism, catabolism and alterations in the entire glucose, fat and amino acid equilibrium. Cells are undergoing major stress and die, thus comprising organ function. The source of the stress is most likely the burned area inducing these detrimental changes via several signals and mediators. The goal of our research is to attenuate stress hypermetabolic and catabolic responses, and improve cell regeneration and survival. We are studying the stress-induced changes in the liver and various other tissues at a cellular and cell organelle level in an attempt to identify key signalling molecules and pathways that may be altered to improve cell survival and organ function.
We also study various potential perturbations to improve the cellular stress response which can be rapidly implemented in the clinical arena. We also study new techniques to cover the wounds of a severely burned patient, not only with the patient's own skin, but also using adult stem cells.
Overall, the research focus of our laboratory is to improve morbidity and mortality of severely injured trauma patients, such as burn patients, and to identify major modulating aspects of these responses.

For Comic-Con San Diego 2013 Nickelodeon wanted to do something new with their characters that they had never done before.. Bring them into the classic
world of Comic books.
The brief for the artwork revolved around three main objectives. It had to be strong. It had to be simple. And It had to convey a sense of urgency in motion. The well known Nickelodeon characters had to be born again into a dynamic comic book existence and had to adopt a new bolder look. They wanted the Characters to literally be jumping
out of the artwork.
Characters were redrawn, recolored and and then repurposed, bringing them into the world of Comic-Con. Halftones were blown up oversize, as were stripes and patterns. Colors overlaid and overlapped as if they were printed on an old press with the registrations
ever so slightly off.
I worked on this project over a couple of months in May and June this year. These artworks were mainly concepts which the Nickelodeon event teams then reconstructed to suit the San Diego Comic-Con booth and the collateral supporting it.

An Exceptional Lacquered and Gilded Ko Kaw Tee, Burma
browse these categories for related items...
Directory: Vintage Arts: Regional Art: Asian: Southeast Asian: Lacquer: Pre 1930: Item # 1106999
The Bodhisattva Collection
New Windsor
New York
From our Southeast Asia Collection, a truly exceptional lacquered and gilded woven-bamboo basket known as a Ko Kaw Tee, from the Kengtung region in Burma, which is the area of the eastern-most part of the Shan States bordering China. This exceptional example features eight individually crafted alto-relief figures of native tribesmen separated by eight triangular-shaped cartouches of heavy gilding, with the entire composition bordered on the top by a wide band of scrolling gilded thayo, and supported on the bottom by a set of four short legs adorned with crow motifs. According to Singer and other published experts on Burmese lacquerware, the headdresses, clothing, and instruments depicted by each of the alto-relief figures, is supposedly representative of one of the various local ethnicities in the Kengtung region.
This present example, without question the finest we have ever seen, is signed in Burmese script by the maker Hsaya Tay Ya and dated 1930, this appearing on the underside of the basket in a diamond-shaped gilded cartouche accompanied by a crow motif. Other pieces from the 1930's by Hsaya Tay Ya are well-known, documented, and published, with several of these now held in important museum collections.
Size and Condition: 9 inches in diameter, 5 3/4 inches tall. Excellent overall condition: There are some small areas where gilding has been retouched, and some minor flaking to the black lacquer on the interior of the basket. More importantly, all of the relief figures are in superb original condition and have survived without damage, and apart from minor wear commensurate with age and light handling, this example is in excellent condition.

A party's request for oral proceedings can be withdrawn only by virtue of a clearly expressed intention not to proceed with the request, for example in the form of an unambiguous written statement to that effect on the file. If there is no unequivocal proof of the withdrawal of the request, it has to be assumed that the request, once submitted, is still valid and was therefore also valid at the time of the contested decision (see T 283/88, T 663/90, T 879/92).

Gold: Worse, Not Better
Published on Tuesday, 08 May 2012 17:22 Written by Todd Shriber
Gold showed a little bit of resilience in the face of European headwinds on Monday, but that moxy didn't last long as the yellow metal was sent tumbling today as traders got around to the business of worrying about what bad news could be surface next out of the Euro Zone. Lingering concerns about the continent's sovereign debt contagion sent Comex gold for June delivery down $34.60, or 2.1%, to $1,604.50 a troy ounce.
As traders started to realize Greece's lack of coalition government could spur the country's departure from the Euro Zone, the euro was sent to lows against the dollar not seen since January in Asian trading. The bad news carried over to the U.S. session due to the fact that gold has been behaving as more of risk asset than safe haven in 2012. A stronger dollar didn't help the cause for gold as the DB US Dollar Index Bullish (NYSE: UUP) added half a percent on the day.
Not only are gold futures now resting at four-month lows, but the yellow metal took a look below the critical $1,600 an ounce level today. It did rebound, but even the brief look below that important level might be enough to encourage traders to do more damage on the short side in the coming days. The SPDR Gold Shares (NYSE: GLD) and the iShares Gold Trust (NYSE: IAU) each lost 1.94% on the day. Volume was heavy in GLD.
The other precious metals fared no better. The iShares Silver Trust (NYSE: SLV) slid 1.9% on strong volume and that ETF now resides below $29 for the first time since January. Platinum was weak as well as the ETFS Physical Platinum Shares (NYSE: PPLT) lost 1.1%. This was a $170 ETF in February. PPLT closed below $150 today.
On volume that was slightly above the daily average, the ETFS Physical Palladium Shares (NYSE: PALL) plunged 4%, violating support at $65 in the process. PALL's chart is now so ugly that a retest of the December lows around $57 seems likely.
Not surprisingly, the miners were rocked once again. Welcome to the new 52-week low club for the Global X Silver Miners ETF (NYSE: SIL), which barely closed above $19. The Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (NYSE: GDX) plunged 3.4% on volume that was well above the daily average, cascading to a new 52-week in the process. On better than double the average daily volume, the Market Vectors Junior Gold Miners ETF (NYSE: GDXJ) slid 4.5% and also touched a new 52-week low.

Sunday February 26, 2012: A Day to Honour
On that day, over 15,000 people traveled on 51 trains all over Canada. It was just another day of travelling from or to work, schools, associates, families and friends. Just another day until 15:26 hours when Train 92 derailed west of Toronto resulting in the tragic death of three VIA Rail Locomotive Engineers: Ken Simmonds, Peter Snarr and Patrick Robinson. Of the 71 passengers on-board, 45 were transported to five local hospitals where five are still admitted and receiving care.
As my colleague John Marginson, our Chief Operating Officer expressed, "VIA Rail is a relatively small company but, we are a big family". As its President & CEO, I lead a team of executives that together influence many things, make many decisions and are entrusted with the authority to manage the corporation's affairs and ensure it provides Canadians with safe, reliable inter-city train transportation. On that day, at that moment, we all shared a deep sense of helplessness over an event with such tragic consequence for members of the entire VIA Rail family, our passengers and their families.
Looking back to that moment and the hours since, I realize that although we may feel helpless in the face of such adversity, it is what we do next that defines us. And, it may also be what best honours those who lost their lives. From the VIA Rail team on-board and other passengers who assisted the injured; the emergency personnel and members of the public who rushed to the scene to offer assistance; VIA Rail off-duty workers who came in to attend at hospitals, provide information to injured passengers and families; our railway partners and business associates, suppliers, customers and other well-wishers who took the time to write or post comments online and express their sympathy for our loss and offer prayers for the families of the victims. All demonstrated through their actions, the strength, courage, kindness and compassion that in many ways, best describe our three fallen colleagues. All who have worked with them have witnessed in each of them, these qualities. They were spouses and fathers, family and community members and they were proud VIA Rail locomotive engineers. Our prayers and thoughts are with their families and loved ones.
In my own 32-year career in Canada's railways, I have never experienced so much pain and sadness and like my colleagues, so much helplessness in a position of so much authority. But I know we will all remember that day, Sunday February 26, 2012, and as we move forward, the memory of these events will sustain our continued efforts and commitment to safety of train travel for our passengers, our employees and all Canadians. For that is the best way to honour the memory of Ken, Peter and Patrick.
Deeply saddened by last Sunday's events. I take VIA Rail regularly in the busy Windsor- Quebec City corridor. It is my favourite way to beat traffic on the 401.

As a former employee of Canadian National Railways (1980-1985) and a friend of Patrick Robinson my sympathies to Pat's children and family and to the families of his collegues who lost thier lives, our prayers are with you and have been blessed to have known you…never forgotten.
I am very sorry to hear of this accident and the loss of life. I'm praying for God's peace and comfort for the families who lost their brother, spouse, father and friend. I want to again thank your staff for assisting me while I travel in my wheelchair. Each of you have been wonderful to me. Ron Piggott
Grant permalink
Hi VIA
What's the PR spin machine going to do now? Your home paying "thank you" seems a little cheeky now.
Lisa permalink
You're right Grant. How dare they pay their respects, and offer condolences. What jerks. Sarcasm, by the way.
Dale permalink
Thank you, Lisa. Let us show a little respect, Grant.
Michael Davidson permalink
That's a bit unfair! We know the train was going over the speed limit through the switch, but even the TSB said today we don't know WHY that happened. Was the switch working? Were the signals working? Those questions still remain to be answered before we can blame Via or its employees for this. And in any case, this is not about "PR" spin. Seems to me Via's president was expressing his feelings on this matter. Three employees died. This is not the time or place to be nasty and make unfounded and uninformed statements.
Denise permalink
What an ignoramous you are, Grant.
My thoughts and condolences to the families and friends of the deceased. To those injured, I hope you have a speedy recovery. I will keep you in my prayers.
To the VIA Rail family, you are all in my thoughts.

Hello Grant,
Thank you for your comment. We trust well-wishers will understand the spirit in which we thank them for their support.

As a die-hard and seasoned railfan, I applaud the efforts by the train crew to make sure that all the passengers were all right. To the dead, my heart goes out to their families.
Sherri permalink
As a member of a family of rail fans, I know the beauty of the railway, as well as its dangers. Those men did too. I am sure when they set out that day at work, they weren't thinking "today is the day I want to go as fast as I can, endanger my passengers and probably die". Look for ways to learn from this, not ways to blame.
Susan King permalink
I was so horrified and saddened to hear of the tragic accident. I had been travelling on train 55 to Toronto from Ottawa just the day before. I know how safe and reliable the VIA trains are and it was so shocking to hear about this. My heart goes out to the families of the victims as well as the many VIA Rail employees who lost their friends. I wish to offer my condolences and support to all those who were affected.
Jennifer permalink
I can't even begin to imagine what everyone on that train went through. My sympathies to the injured. I wish you a speedy recovery. My condolences to Via Rail Canada and to the families of the three employees lost that day. RIP.
I will be taking The Canadian Train soon. As a US citizen, it is nice to here such kind words from a CEO. I think if that happened here, a letter like that either wouldn't be posted, or it would be thoroughly lawyered for proper wording. Maybe the Canadians just have more heart, and have learned something in their social healthcare system that radiates throughout. I am deeply sorry for your loss.
Scott permalink
A very sad day. I take trains regularly and understand what is meant by VIA Rail being a family. That day, just one hour before the tragic accident, I had completed a trip on train 55 from Casselman to Kingston. It's saddening to think at the same time I was unpacking my suitcase in Kingston, thinking about how much I love travelling by train, that there were people who died aboard train 92.
Doug Boulton permalink
As a regular passenger on The Canadian I feel very saddened by this tragic loss in our community. From my numerous travels and conversations with Via Rail employees I feel compelled to tell you all I have full confidence in your commitment to safety. The professionalism you display every day keeps me and my family riding your trains. While this tragic event saddens me greatly, I am confident we can, and will, learn from this. I have always trusted Via Rail Canada and can say without hesitation we have a passenger rail service in Canada that we can all be proud of.
Deborah permalink
Our condolences go out to the families that have lost their loved ones .
As for VIA, I travel by train at least 3 to 4 times a month, each and every month.
I am on trains 84 and 85.
Anyways I want to make VIA aware about speeding trains, a few months ago I was on route to London and while sitting in my seat I had noticed that the train seemed to be going extremely fast, something I haven`t experienced before, and as a rail rider every month, and knowing the daily routine and grind, one picks up on these things, I was shocked we were flying down the tracks, I even told my family members of how fast the train was, it was something that normally doesn't happen. When I seen the derailment on CP24 right away I said this happened because the train was speeding.
VIA and CN I think maybe you should take some time and reeducate your conductors on protocols and especially safety, you may not be aware of what your conductors are doing on the tracks and they think they can get away with it in wide open spaces.
Christopher Leigh permalink
I was deeply saddened to hear of this tragedy from a friend who works for VIA Rail. As a railway journalist for nearly 50 years I have read and written about accidents from time to time in the course of my work. There is always one common factor – the appalling sadness of a succession of minor events unfolding into tragedy. Please ignore the mindless rantings of those with no understanding of the facts and no shred of sympathy for others.
I await with interest the outcome of the full report and in the meantime offer my condolences to the families of those who died or suffered in this accident. The excellent, but never perfect, safety record of rail travel has been built on learning from such tragedies, for we can never entirely eliminate human error.
May the three gentlemen who died rest in peace.

It has been heartwarming to see the outpouring of condolences and sympathy here and on VIA's Facebook page for the crew and passengers of 92. VIA has evidently succeeded in creating a family atmosphere among its crew and passengers.
Daysi permalink
I wish to express my condolences to each and every family member of your valued employees and friends. May God grant all of you the strength to go on and endure your loss. At this difficult time I want to let you know that you have not only your VIA family behind you but many kind, compassionate individuals that are thinking of you and how this unfortunate accident affected your lives forever. We must be grateful to all those that got a chance to help all those affected and discourage those who wish to make sarcastic comments with regards to the accident. Some people do need lessons in respect, compassion and empathy. Although 3 lives were lost we must be grateful that it was not worst. To your fallen comrades, may they rest in peace. God bless!

Judy permalink
My heart goes out to all those involved in the accident last Sunday, it is a sad day indeed.
I have always traveled with Via and I WILL continue to travel with Via, it is by far the best and in my eyes the safest way to travel! had this been an airplane more if not all would have died!
Via has an excellent safety record, it is a rare that they have an accident, and I trust them 100% with my travel and that of my daughter!
Thank you via for always providing me and my family with great service!
John permalink
We will soon be taking VIA cross country and back for the third time. Traveling on The Canadian leg of the trip truly captures the saying that getting there is half the fun, and, we have felt, one of the safest ways to travel. This unfortunate accident has not changed our mind in the slightest. Our condolences to the families, friends and fellow workers of those who lost their lives.
Jason permalink

My Sympathies to the three Via Rail employees. My daughter travel regularly to Ottawa Carleton University and having worket at Via Rail TMC I know the people take pride in their work and are dedicated employees.
Having worked under John Marginson I know he is a railroad professional dedicated to keeping VIA equipment operating safely.
A tragic event for all.
Rod permalink
It is with deep sadness I offer my sympathy to the engineers who died and the Via family. My family has a long relationship with rail service and my own grandfather was a engineer on one of the last steam locomotives in eastern canada. I myself have traveled over 20,000 kms in the last 8 moths by train and will continue to ride the rail service because of the dedication of the Via family provides to its customers and myself. Lets hope something positive will come from this tragedy. Thank you for the service you provide.
Carol Mackenzie permalink
I was in Brantford, waiting for a train to Toronto this last Sunday, and was called over with others waiting to the counter where the Via employee calmly explained that there had been a train derailment at Aldershot and we would be cabbed to Toronto. 10 minutes later 6 of us were in a van heading to Toronto. I was very impressed with the organized, professional manner that we were dealt with, even though it was only 45 minutes after the accident. I love the train, will continue to travel by train, and continue to encourage others to do so.
Donna permalink
I travel with Via several times a year and love it. However I often wonder why seatbelts are not mandatory. Perhaps many of the passengers' injuries could have been prevented. My condolences for those who lost their loved ones. And I appreciate the letter by M. Laliberte.
Kristin permalink
I am so sorry to hear about this terrible tragedy. My heart goes out to the families and friends of the engineers who died in this horrible accident, as well as the injured passengers. As an American, I travel the ViaRail Windsor-Montreal corridor regularly to visit my daughter at university. I have always been impressed by the excellent service provided by ViaRail personnel: on the trains, at the stations, and on the telephone. I will be traveling ViaRail again in a few days – it remains the safest, greenest, most reliable and convenient way to travel from Windsor to downtown Montreal.
As a customer of and supplier to VIA, my sincere condolences to those who lost their lives and to the their families and colleagues. A loss like this is devastating to a company, large or small. The response from the CEO and senior management speaks to the personal touch the organization has. Classy and genuine.

Well said Marc, as a past and future customer of Via, this was a sad day for the Via family. Via rail may be a small company but I have to give you top marks for your handling of this issue. You were giving information right from the start and didn't hide anything, people forget that accidents happen and are far too quick to blame, in this case you had three well experienced individuals in ther engine and I'm sure there is an explanation as to what happened and regardless of the outcome, the Via family is a class act and I look forward to my next trip on Via!!!!
Matt M permalink
Please accept my deepest condolences. I take the train a few times a year and still know that there is no safer way to travel. I know that Via lost 3 very competent colleagues last week. My heart goes out to the family.
Gilbert permalink
Heartfelt sympathies to the victims of this tragic event. This is truly sad for all.
For the Record – VIA Rail is comprised of very dedicated, loyal employees. Having travelled/commuted for the past 14 years, I can attest to their professionalism and commitment to issue resolution each and every day.
Pete Dillon permalink
My condolences to the families of the engineers who were taken from us on Feb 26. I have been a via customer for years and everytime i got on board they made you feel good. they have always gotten me to my destination safe and sound and i hope a accident like this never happens again.
I rely on VIA and this incident has changed nothing insofar as my confidence in the rail service is concerned. Transportation will have accidents; that is life. I am sorry that this accident took three lives and had such a devastating effect on families and colleagues.
I don't think many of us say "thank you" often enough for the safe, reliable and civilized service we depend on from VIA. VIA makes our lives easier and safer. What you do matters, and is important.
Thank you.

On Feb. 18, 2012, I boarded Train 1 in Toronto en routr to Vancouver. On Feb 26, 2012 I was on tha Amtrak California Zephyr from Sacramento, Cal. to Chicago, Ill. I did not see current newspapers and only saw a small report of the Via wreck. I have ridden Via trains for the past 30 years. My experience with Via has been exceptional. While I don't know the details of the Feb. 26, 2012 disaster, I do sympathize with the families of those who lost their lives.Please believe that there is at least one American who loves the people of Canada,loves the Via employees, mourns this loss with all Canasians, and will pray for the souls of the departed.

As some one who has worked in many roles at railways and have spent many miles in the cab of a locomotive, I can only say that my heart goes out to those men who lost their lives. The men and women of railways are well trained and tested professionals who take safety very seriously. Railroads are not the area for amateurs. As a member of the railway brotherhood, my prayers are with these men's families. Thank you to VIA for maintaining the heart and pride of a small company by the release of this letter.

Thanks to the VIA President for his compassionate remarks in a difficult time. For those of us who are just VIA customers, it is easy to move on. My prayers for the families of the three crewmen and the injured passengers, and the VIA employees and leadership.
Thanks again for putting the message on the website. I am on the site to make a booking, and glad the message was there.

I would like to offer my deepest condolences to the families and friends and victims touched by this tragedy, as well as the far reaching family that is VIA Rail!
I am confident that your passengers and your VIA family will rise from this tragedy stronger than ever!
My thoughts and prayers are with all!
Firstly my condolences to the families that have lost loved ones and to the passengers that went through this horrible crash. I am happy to see that Via gives recognition to such devastation and the pain it causes. Having lost loved ones to a Via train myself ( Not an employee mind you) I got to see the Via PR machine in motion. It is heartless and self serving and ever so destructive to families involved. It out right causes significant pain on top of the already unimaginable pain from the tragedy itself. So I do understand Grant's comment ever so well. We too buried three loved ones and Via just slammed the families already destroyed. No, we were not part of the brotherhood that was for some reason speeding which in turn caused this tragedy. All the same Via should be this way with all victims of their rails. This brotherhood could have killed many more through it's actions and yet Via felt it necessary to do this blog in their memory. I and others affected by loss of loved ones hurt the very same way, whole families are grieving when the Via spin factory gets warmed up. Why the double standard? Shame on Via for not caring about anyone outside of the brotherhood…all families should be treated with respect and sympathy it is the only way to keep the company honorable. My heart does go to the families as I know only to well what this kind of tragedy does. Some solutions may be to slow down the trains in areas coming up on a switch or where dangerous conditions exist. That type of adjustment would save lives. There are many areas of safety that need improvement and as I see the responses from Via they are never addressed so it is only a matter of time before this happens again.
My heart goes to all affected and my prayers go to Via..only you can make this high number of victims list smaller by improving railway safety. Stop the pain being caused to Canadian Citizens.
Heart broken once again

Analysis of Agreement Containing Consent Order To Aid Public Comment Back to Top
The Federal Trade Commission ("FTC" or "Commission") has accepted, subject to final approval, an agreement containing a consent order from THV Holdings LLC, a limited liability company ("respondent").
The proposed consent order has been placed on the public record for thirty (30) days for receipt of comments by interested persons. Comments received during this period will become part of the public record. After thirty (30) days, the Commission will again review the agreement and the comments received, and will decide whether it should withdraw from the agreement or make final the agreement's proposed order.
This matter involves respondent's marketing and sale of replacement windows for use in residences. According to the FTC complaint, respondent represented that its windows likely pay for themselves in energy savings alone within eight years, when consumers replace their windows with THV Compozit windows with Alter-Lite® triple pane glass. The respondent also allegedly represented that consumers who replace their windows with these THV windows are likely to achieve residential energy savings of 40%, save 40% on residential heating and cooling costs, or reduce their energy bills by half. In addition, the respondent allegedly represented that homeowners have saved 35%-55% off their energy bills by replacing their windows with THV windows. According to the complaint, respondent did not possess and rely upon a reasonable basis substantiating these representations when it made them. Many factors determine the savings homeowners can realize by replacing their windows, including the home's geographic location, size, insulation package, and existing windows. Consumers who replace single or double-paned wood or vinyl-framed windows—common residential window types in the United States—with THV replacement windows are not likely to achieve a 40%, 50%, or 35%-55% reduction in residential energy consumption or heating and cooling costs. The complaint also alleges that, by providing its independent dealers and installers with advertising and other promotional materials making the above unsubstantiated representations, respondent provided the means and instrumentalities to engage in deceptive practices. Thus, the complaint alleges that respondent engaged in unfair or deceptive practices in violation of Section 5(a) of the FTC Act.
Some promotional materials challenged in the FTC's complaint include the words "up to" in an apparent attempt to qualify representations that consumers who replace windows with respondent's windows are likely to achieve specified amounts of residential energy savings or reduction in residential heating and cooling costs. In the context of specific ads in this case, the words "up to" do not effectively qualify such representations for replacement windows. The FTC's complaint and the proposed consent order should not be interpreted as a general statement of how the Commission may interpret or take other action concerning representations including the words "up to" for other products or services in the future.
The proposed consent order contains three provisions designed to prevent respondent from engaging in similar acts and practices in the future. Part I addresses the marketing of windows. It prohibits respondent from making any representation that: (A) Consumers who replace their windows with respondent's windows achieve up to or a specified amount or percentage of energy savings or reduction in heating and cooling costs; or (B) respondent guarantees or pledges that consumers who replace their windows with respondent's windows will achieve up to or a specified amount or percentage of energy savings or reduction in heating and cooling costs; unless the representation is non-misleading and, at the time of making such representation, respondent possesses and relies upon competent and reliable scientific evidence to substantiate that all or almost all consumers are likely to receive the maximum represented savings or reduction. Further, if respondent represents, guarantees, or pledges that consumers achieve such energy savings or heating and cooling cost reductions under specified circumstances, it must: Disclose those circumstances clearly and prominently in close proximity to such representation, guarantee, or pledge; and substantiate that all or almost all consumers are likely to receive the maximum represented, guaranteed, or pledged savings or reduction under those circumstances (e.g., when replacing a window of a specific composition in a building having a specific level of insulation in a specific region). The performance standard imposed under this Part constitutes fencing-in relief reasonably necessary to ensure that any future energy savings or reduction claims are not deceptive.
Parts II and III address any product or service for which respondent makes any energy-related efficacy representation. Part II prohibits respondent from making any representation: (A) About the ability of respondent's windows to pay for themselves in energy savings alone within any specific number of years or other time period, when consumers replace their windows with respondent's windows; (B) that any specific number or percentage of consumers who replace their windows with respondent's windows achieve energy savings or reduction in heating and cooling costs; or (C) about energy consumption, energy savings, energy costs, heating and cooling costs, U-factor, solar heat gain coefficient, R-value, K-value, insulating properties, thermal performance, or energy-related efficacy; unless the representation is non-misleading and substantiated by competent and reliable scientific evidence. Part III prohibits respondent from providing to others the means and instrumentalities with which to make any false, unsubstantiated, or otherwise misleading representation of material fact. It defines "means and instrumentalities" to mean any information, including any advertising, labeling, or promotional, sales training, or purported substantiation materials, for use by trade customers in their marketing of any such product or service.
Parts IV though VIII require respondent to: Train personnel who direct or engage in the promotion or sale of any product or service covered by the order not to make representations prohibited by the order; keep copies of advertisements and materials relied upon in disseminating any representation covered by the order; provide copies of the order to certain personnel, agents, and representatives having supervisory responsibilities with respect to the subject matter of the order; notify the Commission of changes in its structure that might affect compliance obligations under the order; and file a compliance report with the Commission and respond to other requests from FTC staff. Part IX provides that the order will terminate after twenty (20) years under certain circumstances.
The purpose of this analysis is to facilitate public comment on the proposed order. It is not intended to constitute an official interpretation of the complaint or the proposed order, or to modify the proposed order's terms in any way.
By direction of the Commission, Commissioner Rosch abstaining.
