Riding the Bus; Minor League Reports for April 7, 2014
Monday, April 7, 2014
At The Plate:
The bats were making noise in the early going, but the production, and the lead disappeared in this one, as Daytona dropped a close one to Brevard County, 5-4. Albert Almora is settling into a grove after starting the season slowly, he was 1-for-4 with a run scored in this one, and is now hitting .316 on the season. Dan Vogelbach is still sluggish with the bat, but had a decent game tonight, he went 1-for-3 with a walk. One guy who has been locked in at the plate is Jeimer Candelario, he was 2-for-4 with a triple, an RBI, a run scored, and committed two errors (oops). The man with the "best name in the minors" had a solid game, Rock Shoulders was 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI's, and a run scored.
On The Mound:
Exciting night for the Cubs organization as Rob Zastryznyy made his Daytona debut tonight, and had moments of brilliance in the no decision. Zastryzny worked four innings, giving up four runs on six hits, while walking two, and striking out six. The D-Cubs bullpen was solid once again in this one as the quartet of Yao-Lin Wang, Zach Cates, Arodys Vizcaino, and Austin Reed combined to work five innings only yielding one unearned run which proved to be the difference tonight.
At The Plate:
Another light night at the dish for the Smokies as they fell to Pensacola for the fourth time in five games, 3-2. Dustin Geiger has had a solid start to 2014, especially in the power department, Geiger was 2-for-4 with his second home run of the season, an RBI, and a run scored. Jeudy Valdez was the only other Tennessee player to make a difference with the bat, he went 2-for-3 with a double, and an RBI in the loss.
On The Mound:
It wasn't a bad night at all for Tennessee pitching, especially out of the bullpen, still not good enough for a win. Matt Loosen got the start tonight, he worked five innings, giving up three runs on six hits, while walking three and striking out two. Ryan Searle, Hunter Cervenka, and Tony Zych combined to toss three scoreless, hit-less innings out of the pen, they didn't even walk anyone, and struck out five.
At The Plate:
Not a whole lot going on for the Iowa hitters, but they made the most of their opportunities and beat Nashville 4-1. Brett Jackson, who has had a rough start to the season, had a tremendous game. B-Jax was 2-for-2 with a triple, an RBI, a run scored, and a stolen base. As a team, the Iowa Cubs had four stolen bases in this one, saw an opportunity and exploited it. Christian Villanueva had the big hit in this one, he was 1-for-4 with his first home run of the season, three RBI's, and a run scored.
On The Mound:
All sorts of good things from the Iowa Cubs staff tonight. Tsuyoshi Wada started tonight, and took home the win, he worked 6.2 innings, giving up one run on three hits, while walking one, and striking out eight. Working as the setup man, Neil Ramirez worked 1.1 scoreless innings, he didn't walk anyone, and struck out two. Blake Parker worked the ninth for the save, he flirted with danger but got the job done, he worked a scoreless inning, giving up two hits, and striking out two.

Mike Allen Tobique—Mactaquac, NB
Mr. Speaker, I listened quite closely to the comments made by the hon. member. He continued on at great length about the commitments that the Liberals were going to make. I hope members will forgive me if I do not hold my breath waiting for any Liberal commitment that will ever be delivered after the last 13 years.
When we think about what has happened over the last 10 to 13 years, we had continual cuts to our health and social transfer, the dedicated education transfer was cut. While the Liberals might talk about this tuition thing, they was treating a symptom. In fact, one of the reasons tuition has gone up so much is because of deferred maintenance on the buildings at these universities.
Could the hon. member to comment how that band-aid would help and why he did not come up with real programs over the last number of years when the Liberals had an opportunity to deal with that deferred maintenance problem?

Mr. Speaker, during the last two years that I have had the privilege of being a member of the House, the development of the policies that the Liberal Party came up with and took into the last two elections, related to the commitments we made and the actions we took, were based on consultations and discussions with the various institutions.
For example, I sat for a year on the finance committee. We heard very clearly from those representing the institutions of higher education, post-secondary education, on what they needed and, more particular, what they needed in terms of assistance to students in the areas of tuition and scholarship programs. It was that area to which we felt a high priority to respond. Those were the programs and the commitments we made. In fact, our fiscal update indicated exactly what we were going to do.

Mr. Speaker, I agree with the member for North Vancouver when he identifies education as a key issue in developing an economy that takes us into the 21st century. I also agree with him when he says we have to do more as parliamentarians and as a government.
However, the problems we face today in education were in large part created by the Liberals. We are dealing now with a decade of cuts to education, starting with the 1995 budget when his government took $7 billion out of transfer payments. That had a huge impact on post-secondary education, and we still have not caught up to that point.
The suggestion by the Liberals to pay for part of the tuition costs in year one and year four is interesting, but it is an awfully small step given the serious situation. Four out of ten university students are unable to graduate on time because they have to drop courses in order to work. Sixty-six per cent of students are working an average of 19 hours a week. Three out of ten students resort to private bank loans or family loans because of inadequate government aid, and the stats go on and on.
The member cannot make up for past history, but is he at least prepared to commit his party now to reinstating the $1.2 billion which would take us back to at least 1993 when the cuts began under his government?

Don Bell North Vancouver, BC
Mr. Speaker, the hon. member and I both sat on the finance committee. I think we heard the same entreaties to government to respond in these areas.
I was not a member of the previous governments at that time, but I know by reading and studying the history that they were faced with the problem of a huge and growing national debt, with growing annual budget deficits. A determination was made that, to provide the healthy economic basis for the social programs, such as education, which were necessary, it was important to get the fiscal house in order, and the Liberal government did that.
Yes, some difficult measures had to be taken to have that come about, but that laid the groundwork for ongoing reductions of the national debt, eliminating the deficits and having eight years of surplus budgets. In fact, we are the only country in the G-8 to do so, a record of which we can be proud and for which we are envied.
I cannot speak for my party, but from discussions I have had with my colleagues, their commitment, as is mine, is to do all we can to ensure, as we indicated in our previous programs, to support a very healthy education program, as we do with health and as we do in a number of areas.

Paul Crête Montmagny—L'Islet—Kamouraska—Rivière-du-Loup, QC
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to speak to this motion today.
When I started reading the preamble of the Liberal motion, I found it interesting because it states:
That, in light of the rapid increase in the value of the Canadian dollar, high global energy costs, the overhang from huge budgetary and trade deficits in the United States of America, the rise of new economies such as China, India and Brazil—
These are all important aspects of the new economic reality. I was hoping there would be proposals at the end that would allow us to push this government that chooses not to intervene in anything and allows the market to function.
We even heard the Minister of Industry say that with the tax cuts, small businesses will be able to pull through. In reality, in today's competitive market, even if we reduce the taxes of a company that does not pay any because it does not make enough profit, then we are not really helping.
In the Liberal motion, the analysis at the start of their depiction of the situation is very interesting, but their recommendations show that they still have the same old bad habits. They make recommendations affecting provincial responsibilities in the areas of labour force training and post-secondary education. It is too bad that they include this kind of recommendation. That will force us to vote against the motion. The Liberal Party still wants to interfere in matters that are none of its business. It is too bad because the greatest danger we face today is the Conservatives' laissez-faire approach to the economy.
I want to share my time with the hon. member for Berthier—Maskinongé, who will have the last 10 minutes.

1:50 p.m.
Paul Crête Montmagny—L'Islet—Kamouraska—Rivière-du-Loup, QC
Thank you.
So I had reached the greatest danger currently facing the Quebec and Canadian economies: the laissez-faire approach of the Conservatives. There has never been such a fine demonstration of this as the minister's appearance before the Standing Committee on Industry, Science and Technology. He came to tell us that many issues in different sectors will be decided by the market. The government has policies to lower taxes, but it does not want to do anything else.
I was at the Standing Committee on Industry, Science and Technology just a few minutes ago, where we were being told once again that the aeronautics industry needs assistance programs, like the old Technology Partnerships Canada, to help industry do basic research or commercialize its advanced research. But all we heard today was silence.
The Conservative government has quietly decided to allow the old program to end, without anything to propose in its place. We have no right just to let people wait. We need some news today because the investments made by multinationals and companies in these large industrial sectors are decided years in advance. In addition, the branch plants of the parent company in each country compete with one another and need the kind of clear messages that are nowhere to be found in the positions of the current government.
This is all the more the case in view of the fact that a two-tier economy is beginning to develop in Canada. There is the economy of the world of energy—the world of oil—where profits are very high and rising prices generate economic activity and even impact the value of the dollar.
Mr. Dodge, the Governor of the Bank of Canada, admitted in his presentation before the Standing Committee on Industry, Science and Technology that the factor that is making the dollar rise most at present is the pressure on energy prices. When we have as we do today a dollar that is up to 90 cents, people like Laurent Beaudoin, of Bombardier, and Perrin Beatty, of Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters, tell us that we must stop the rise of our interest rates because they are crippling the manufacturing industry in Quebec and Ontario, where these industrial sectors are the most concentrated.
The current non-interventionist attitude of the Conservative government will have its consequences. When the increase in energy prices slows down—this may happen in months or in years—it will be disastrous. The manufacturing sector will have disappeared. There will be a series of warehouses where people can go and get products made in the emerging countries and then distribute them. I can assure you, however, that a salary in a distribution company and a salary in a manufacturing company are not comparable. In the medium term, this will reduce buying power and will above all create unemployment among people who have dedicated 20 or 30 years of their lives to the economic activity of healthy businesses, and who earned their living from them.
And from one day to the next, they no longer have a job. We do not necessarily have proper training to offer them so that they can be reintegrated in the labour market. Often they can no longer be placed in other jobs. This is the situation facing us today. The Conservative laissez-faire industrial policy is the worst thing we could have in the present situation.
This sort of behaviour has been seen within the Quebec government, and the federal government should draw some conclusions from this. In fact, the Liberal Party of Quebec has adopted the same sort of attitude. It came to power three years ago, and decided to take the ideological approach of non-intervention. We saw private investment drop and we will see the same thing occur throughout Canada, if the Conservative Party continues to take the same tack.
In the coming days and weeks therefore, the government will have to listen to the demands of the manufacturers and the unions representing employees in the manufacturing sector. According to all the opinions we have, we must make sure that the Bank of Canada realizes that continuing to raise interest rates does not make any sense. It cannot be ordered to do so; it is not up to the government to order it.
The federal government also has to assume its responsibilities in other sectors and offer businesses an assistance plan, such as accelerated depreciation. For example, when they buy equipment, they could obtain a depreciation tax credit. That way they would have a chance to be competitive, develop their competitiveness, and continue their operations in the markets.
We also need measures that would allow small and medium-sized businesses to organize so they can deal with the export markets and win clients there. We could also see if there are markets that are worse off under the new global competition and make use of the tools available—and why not?
We note that the government has decided to take no action in the bicycle sector, where the Minister of Industry himself is accepting the loss of jobs in his own riding, in Beauce.
He also accepts that jobs at Raleigh will be lost in the same way. That is totally unacceptable. We were not asking the government to impose these measures permanently; we were asking it to put them in place. The Bloc Québécois, the unions, the employers and the managers of these firms want action from the government in this direction. The government must use all of its economic development tools, instead of hiding behind a laisser-faire policy that is doing profound damage to the economy of Quebec and Canada.
This is the more tragic in that there will be a major impact on employment and available wages. People who want to support their families now no longer have the means to do so. The federal government must recognize the importance of taking action. It cannot hide behind Canadian growth, in the broad sense. Basically, that growth is being generated by the energy sector; it leaves behind, in the background, a whole range of industrial sectors that are needed in Quebec, in Ontario and in Canada.
For all of these reasons, we are asking the federal government to intervene, to act and to change its attitude so it can create the framework that our businesses need for their development. This is not a matter of engaging in extreme interventionism. It is just a matter of seeing that there are certain basic conditions that need to be established. And right now, we are not seeing this.
The Liberals' motion cannot achieve this objective. However, you may rest assured that the Bloc will move forward and continue exerting pressure to ensure that jobs in Quebec's manufacturing sector can be maintained.

Mr. Speaker, again this year I had the privilege of attending the Camrose Schizophrenia Society Walk and Run. This annual event is an important exercise for our community. It is heartwarming to see so many people showing their support. I found encouragement to bring their message to this House today.
I urge all MPs to promote awareness and understanding of mental illness. We can search the Health Canada website for the term "schizophrenia". We can get the information to share and assist Canadians who are confronting ailments that challenge us as individuals, families and communities, and even nationally. We can see the book written by Canadian families who contributed the benefit of their own experience and counsel.
Anthony Holler, president of the Camrose Schizophrenic Society, emphasizes that people afflicted often become marginalized by society. It is important for us to tell our constituents that it is not a preventable disease, that it is not about just passing through a difficult phase or time, that there is no cause for shame, and that it can be easier to deal with when we have the available information. Let us get the message out.

Andrew Telegdi Kitchener—Waterloo, ON
Mr. Speaker, the government is fast tracking a Canada-Korea free trade agreement that it wants signed and in place this year. It is absolutely essential that this agreement contain terms and conditions that protect Canadian industry and Canadian jobs.
We have a huge trade imbalance with Korea, especially in manufactured goods, and particularly in the auto sector, where the ratio of imports to exports is 150 to 1 in its favour. Eliminating tariffs will not give us greater access to Korean markets that are protected by relationships among their government and the manufacturers and banks. It will in fact increase this imbalance and mean the loss of more Canadian jobs.
Our auto industry is facing difficult challenges related to the Canadian dollar and the financial crisis of North American automakers. We have lost 20,000 assembly and parts jobs in the sector since 1998.
We should only proceed with this bill if it includes absolute assurances of equality in both the value and the nature of goods exchanged between Canada and Korea.
René Boucher

Robert Carrier Alfred-Pellan, QC
Mr. Speaker, I would like to pay tribute to a great man from Laval who has done a great service for his community and recently retired from his position as carnival director for the Laval figure skating club: René Boucher.
The ice carnival he directed was recognized across Quebec and Canada and enjoys an excellent reputation. The best skaters in the world performed in this ice carnival. Brian Orser, Tracy Wilson, Toller Cranston and Karen Magnussen are but a few of the athletes who have thrilled fans and taken part in this famous ice show at the Laval Coliseum.
Mr. Boucher directed his last show on April 22 and 23, as part of the 40th carnival. I wish to thank those who worked closely with him, as volunteers like him, without whom, as he put it so aptly, there could have been no show.
The Bloc Québécois salutes him and says, "Thank you, Mr. Boucher, for the great job you have done".
Citizenship and Immigration

Penny Priddy Surrey North, BC
Mr. Speaker, I am rising in the House today to speak against serious discrimination faced by many people who emigrate to Canada. Our country has signed reciprocal agreements with dozens of countries to make qualified new immigrants eligible for old age security immediately when they arrive in Canada.
If an immigrant comes from a country like India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka or one of the many other countries that have not yet signed reciprocal agreements, they are forced to wait 10 years before becoming eligible for their pensions, even after they become Canadian citizens. This practice is unfair and unjust. Eligibility for old age security should be based on logical criteria, criteria that do not treat people differently based on where they come from.
I plan to introduce a motion in the House next session calling for an end to the discriminatory 10 year waiting period applied to some new Canadians. I hope all hon. members will join me in showing their support.

Colin Carrie Oshawa, ON
Mr. Speaker, it is a great honour for me to rise in the House today, as the General Motors No. 2 plant in my riding of Oshawa topped the J.D. Power and Associates survey of automotive plants in vehicle quality.
For the second straight year, Oshawa No. 2 has topped this prestigious list, confirming its place as a world leader in the automotive manufacturing industry. It gets better. Not only did the plant win the gold award, Oshawa No. 2's production of the Pontiac Grand Prix was ranked in the same survey as having the highest quality production in the large car segment.
I would like to personally congratulate every assembler and manager at Oshawa No. 2 plant. This is a wonderful accomplishment for all the employees and General Motors and a proud day for Oshawa. I would like all parliamentarians to join me in congratulating every person at Oshawa No. 2 for their hard work and world leading manufacturing.
I thank Oshawa No. 2 for making everyone in Oshawa proud.

Raymond Chan Richmond, BC
Mr. Speaker, Canada has an estimated 800,000-person backlog in our immigration system and the wait time for citizenship in urban centres is close to a year. Not only is this important for my riding of Richmond, but it is also very important to the rest of Canada.
The previous Liberal government designed a multitude of efficient and effective immigration policies, allocated $700 million over five years to reduce the application inventory, signed a $920 million Canada-Ontario immigration agreement, and invested over $2.4 billion in immigration policies in 2005 alone. It was a government working for Canadians.
The Conservative government has pledged that it would improve Canada's immigration policy, but instead it has cut the $700 million in funding to reduce the backlog, has failed to formally ratify the Canada-Ontario agreement and has failed to allocate funds for the other eight provinces' immigration strategies. Shame.
Atlas of Canada

Christian Paradis Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Natural Resources
Mr. Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I draw the attention of the hon. members of this House to the fact that the Atlas of Canada is celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2006.
Over the past 100 years, the Atlas of Canada, which is produced by Natural Resources Canada, has provided snapshots of Canada's society, economy and environment.
The Atlas helps Canadians understand a variety of concepts, issues and decisions set in a geographical context, both locally and nationally.
Since an online edition of the Atlas was launched in 1994, there has been a thousandfold increase in the number of Canadians who have visited the www.atlas.gc.ca website to view maps.
I invite the hon. members of this House to join me in congratulating Natural Resources Canada and the Atlas of Canada staff on this important milestone in the remarkable history of an institution that has been inextricably tied to the advancement of Canada as a nation.

Louis Plamondon Bas-Richelieu—Nicolet—Bécancour, QC
Mr. Speaker, in a report that has just been released, the OECD confirms in black and white what people already know: the gap between the rich and the poor is getting wider all the time. Worse yet, Canada is one of the worst, among other things because of the increasingly harsh restrictions on employment insurance. As a result, despite repeated calls in favour of an overhaul, almost 60% of the unemployed are unable to qualify for this program.
Since this government is insensitive to the fate of the unemployed, does it agree that the solution is to allow Quebec to manage the employment insurance program, as the Conseil national des chômeurs et chômeuses is calling for?

Diane Finley Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development
Mr. Speaker, we believe the best way to help the unemployed is to provide them with training so that they can find jobs. Employment is the thing that will improve the situation and the OECD agrees.

moved for leave to introduce Bill C-376, An Act to amend the Canada Labour Code and the Employment Insurance Act (family leave).
Mr. Speaker, I am very proud to introduce this bill today. My colleague, France Bonsant, the former member of Parliament for Compton—Stanstead, introduced this bill once before. It is a huge honour for me to do so again on her behalf and on behalf of the Bloc Québécois.
This bill amends the Canada Labour Code to allow employees to take unpaid leave from work for the following family-related reasons: a) the inability of their minor child to carry on regular activities because the child suffered a serious physical injury during the commission or as the direct result of a criminal offence; b) the disappearance of their minor child; c) the suicide of their spouse, common-law partner or child; or d) the death of their spouse, common-law partner or child during the commission or as the direct result of a criminal offence.
This bill would also amend the Employment Insurance Act to allow these employees and self-employed persons to receive benefits while on leave.
I urge all members in this House to support this bill, in the name of all of the families who are suffering.

3:05 p.m.
Russ Hiebert South Surrey—White Rock—Cloverdale, BC
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-377, An Act to amend the Income Tax Act (requirements for labour organizations).
Mr. Speaker, it is my privilege to introduce a bill that would amend the Income Tax Act for labour organizations.
Labour organizations play a valuable role in society, representing and defending the rights of workers to health and safety on the job and ensuring that they have proper compensation for the work they do. As a result of the valuable role that they play, our government has provided substantial benefits through the Income Tax Act to support the work of labour organizations.
This bill would amend the Income Tax Act to require the public disclosure of labour organization finances. Public disclosure will help the public better understand how the benefits that are provided are being utilized. This is in line with the increased transparency we have introduced for government departments, agencies and native reserves. It is also in line with the public disclosure required of charities and political parties, which also receive substantial public benefits through the tax system.
I want to note that public disclosure is strongly supported by the Canadian public and by union workers themselves.

Pat Martin Winnipeg Centre, MB
Mr. Speaker, I am proud to present a petition signed by literally thousands of Canadians from all across the country.
The petitioners call upon the House of Commons and Parliament assembled to take note that asbestos is the greatest industrial killer that the world has ever known. They point out that more Canadians now die from asbestos than all other industrial causes combined, yet Canada remains one of the largest producers and exporters of asbestos in the world. They also complain that Canada spends millions of dollars subsidizing the asbestos industry and blocking international efforts to curb its use.
The petitioners call upon the government to ban asbestos in all of its forms and institute a just transition program for asbestos workers and the communities they live in; they call upon the government to end all government subsidies of asbestos, both in Canada and abroad; and, finally, they call upon the government to stop blocking international health and safety conventions designed to protect workers from asbestos, such as the Rotterdam Convention.
Human Smuggling
Routine Proceedings
3:10 p.m.
Marc Garneau Westmount—Ville-Marie, QC
Mr. Speaker, I have the pleasure to present two petitions today. The first deals with Bill C-4.
The petitioners draw to the attention of the Government of Canada that Bill C-4, the preventing human smugglers from abusing Canada's immigration system act, violates sections 7 and 15 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and furthermore that Bill C-4 violates Canada's international obligations as set forth in articles 28, 31 and 33 of the Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees, violates several articles in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, as well as in the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
The petitioners point out that smuggling is already punishable by life imprisonment or a fine of up to $1 million in the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.
For that reason, these petitioners call upon the Government of Canada to withdraw Bill C-4.
Routine Proceedings
3:10 p.m.
Marc Garneau Westmount—Ville-Marie, QC
Mr. Speaker, it is also my pleasure to present a second petition calling for a royal commission on the environment and health.
I quote: "We the undersigned residents of Canada draw the attention of the Government to the following: that during the past 70 years tens of thousands of chemicals, many of which are cancer-causing, have been used in industrial processes and the production of consumer goods; that some of these chemicals now contaminate our air, water and food; that over the last 10-15 years, new technologies, such as those that create genetically modified organisms and nanoparticles, have developed rapidly and are being used in the production of consumer goods; that there have been few independent peer review studies and no transparent, inclusive, in-depth discussion of possible environmental and health impacts of these substances and technologies; that protection of human health and the environment requires rigorous application of the precautionary principle;"
"Therefore, your petitioners call upon the Government of Canada to appoint a royal commission on the environment and health with a mandate to examine and make a certain number of recommendations".

D&A Spice Mill - Garlic At Its Best
If you're like me, often you just don't have the time or forgot to buy some fresh garlic at the store, and pretty much bottled dry garlic just doesn't cut it - I've tried them all! BUT.... that's where D&A Garlic comes in - their spices, Garlic, Salt, Pepper and others, are simply the best possible products is an easy to use grinder container. Yes, you can easily find similar products at the store, but NOT similar taste. Go ahead, try the garlic - heat up some spaghetti in a pot, add butter to coat, and grind on a nice amount of D&A Garlic, stir and let sit for just a minute or two - the fresh and natural flavor, as well as small fresh garlic pieces will astound you (and no tomato needed!) Try adding some fresh garlic to your buttered popcorn, get inventive! The Med. Salt and the Multi-pepper are equally fantastic on your steaks, eggs or other favorite standard fare - add some spice to your life today. These are worth the extra price - you pay for what you get! (and if you want quality, taste, and unmatched excellence - this is it. (I even had some old Garlic that was 3 years past its recommended best use date, and it was still wonderful - better than the other junk I had just bought at the store, which is what prompted my to retry this brand from Italy - made in Florence, with care and pride) .

Good, fresh, organic taste. But besides garlic and red pepper, the flavor of this product is rich with basil and parsley. So it doesn't match with just any meal, rather Italian-inspired ones and vegetables. If that's your preferance, I definately recommend it.

1st confirmed case of West Nile Virus
Michigan health officials have identified the state's first confirmed human case of West Nile Virus for 2013 in a man from downstate St. Joseph County, and are reminding people to protect themselves against mosquito bites.
West Nile can cause serious neurological illnesses, such as meningitis and encephalitis, reports the Michigan Department of Community Health.
Last year, 202 West Nile Virus illnesses and 17 fatalities were reported in Michigan.
"We have clear evidence that West Nile Virus is present in the state again this summer," said Dr. Matthew Davis, Chief Medical Executive at the Michigan Department of Community Health.
"Taking a few minutes to protect ourselves and our loved ones from mosquito bites can make a big difference," Dr. Davis said in a statement.
Statewide, eight birds have tested positive for West Nile Virus so far this season, including six crows from Saginaw (4), Bay (1) and Midland (1) counties, one wild turkey from Gratiot County and one Coopers hawk from Wayne County.
No West Nile Virus positive mosquito pools have been detected. Infected birds and mosquitoes can provide an early warning of West Nile Virus activity in a community, re-enforcing the need for residents to take precautions to avoid mosquito bites.
Area residents can report sightings of sick or dead birds on the West Nile virus website at www.michigan.gov/westnilevirus.
Residents are encouraged to take the following steps to avoid West Nile Virus:
– Maintain window and door screening to help keep mosquitoes out of buildings.
– Empty water from mosquito breeding sites such as buckets, unused kiddie pools, old tires or similar sites where mosquitoes lay eggs.
– Use nets and/or fans over outdoor eating areas.
– Avoid being outdoors at dusk and dawn when mosquitoes are most active.
– Wear light colored, long-sleeved shirts and long pants when outdoors.
– Apply insect repellents that contain the active ingredient DEET, or other EPA approved product to exposed skin or clothing, always following the manufacturer's directions for use.
Mosquito management is vital in the prevention of West Nile Virus, Eastern Equine Encephalitis, and heartworms in dogs and cats.
Eliminate standing water by properly discarding old tires, filling ruts and pot holes, and removing water from tarps, pool covers, and other items where it may collect.
Changing water in bowls, buckets, troughs, bird baths, and wading pools at least once each week, especially during the warmer weeks of late summer, are just a few simple steps to prevent mosquito-borne illnesses.
Officials remind area residents to exercise care when applying insect repellents such as DEET, lemon eucalyptus, and picaridin.
Excessive use of insect repellents containing DEET can result in adverse health effects, particularly in children if not properly applied.
When applying insect repellents on children, follow the guidelines recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics Committee on Environmental Health:
– Do not use repellents with DEET on infants less than two months old.
– Apply repellent on your hands and then rub it on the child.
– Avoid spraying children's eyes and mouths, and use the repellent sparingly around their ears.
– Never apply repellent to children's hands or their skin under clothing.
– Do not allow young children to apply insect repellent to themselves.
– Once a child is indoors or the repellent is no longer needed, wash the treated skin with soap and water.
– Keep repellents out of reach of children.
Precautions to keep in mind regarding applying repellents and eliminating possible breeding grounds for summer insects:
– Avoid mosquitoes during their prime feeding hours of dusk and dawn.
– Before applying repellent, read all label directions; not all repellents are intended to be applied to the skin. Repellents with low concentrations (10 percent or below) are effective and may be preferred in most situations.
– Start with a low-concentration product and re-apply if necessary.
– If applying repellents over a long period of time, alternate the repellent with one having another active ingredient.
– Do not use repellents on broken or irritated skin or apply to eyes and mouth.
– Avoid breathing sprays and do not use near food.
Most people bitten by a West Nile Virus infected mosquito show no symptoms of illness.
However, some become sick three to 15 days after exposure. About one-in-five infected persons will have mild illness with fever. About one in 150 infected people will become severely ill.
Symptoms of encephalitis (inflammation of the brain) and meningitis (inflammation of the spinal cord and brain linings) include stiff neck, stupor, disorientation, coma, tremors, muscle weakness, convulsions and paralysis.
People 50 and older are more susceptible to severe West Nile Virus disease symptoms. Physicians are urged to test patients for West Nile Virus if they present with fever and signs of meningitis or encephalitis, or sudden painless paralysis in the absence of stroke in the summer months.

Seven Semesters Down, One to Go
Posted Nov 13, 2012 in Labs & Profiles
After three long years at the University of Louisville School of Dentistry, Eric Nunnally begins his countdown to graduation.
Junior year was tough, but it's over. Part II of the written National Boards was a horrible two-day, 12-hour exam but I passed, and now it's history.
Looking back at my time in school, junior year was very valuable in terms of my development as a dentist. My rookie jitters lessened, patient care was much more fluid and the stress of working in the mouth slowly disappeared. Clinical work became much more enjoyable once I gained confidence with the handpiece and competence with treatment planning. Patients definitely pick up on whether or not you're confident and, if you are and they feel good about you, it's reflected in their willingness to receive treatment.
Working directly with patients hasn't only made me a better dentist, but a better technician. For instance, during my junior year, I was both the dentist and technician for my patients and I now fabricate a much higher-quality diagnostic waxup because I no longer think of it as a "case" but as part of a person.
When all you see is model work and scripts, it's easy to become disconnected from the final goal: delivering a functional prosthesis that makes the patient happy. Working with the patient chairside is something every technician should experience; it gives you a new perspective and can have a positive effect on your work. The first time you see a patient cry because he's so happy with his new smile, it all comes together.
As I gain experience as a clinician, my respect for tech-nicians and the integral role they play on the dental team continues to grow. For the most part, fillings don't change lives, but dentures and C&B definitely do. Technicians make the difference between an acceptable restorative outcome and a fantastic one.
My Externship Experience
During the summer between my junior and senior years, I participated in a five-week externship in a private practice so I could experience a "real world" environment and get a taste of what it's like to be part of an established practice. I treated my own patients, had a great assistant and was overseen by two experienced dentists.
I did more work in five weeks than I would in a whole semester at school, maybe even a year: root canals, crowns, bridges, amalgams, composites, direct composite veneers, crown repairs, emergency patients with all types of needs, etc. I also helped diagnose and address patients' concerns regarding their treatment. The atmosphere was great; it was dynamic and hectic at times but I'd choose that over boring any day. It was the most beneficial experience I've had yet as a dental student and, by the end, I felt like I was part of the practice.
It was amazing how much more comfortable I felt in a private practice setting compared to school. In the school's clinics, every patient needs a comprehensive analysis which means multiple appointments and consults, diagnostic models mounted with facebows, perio charting, and a ton of hard and soft tissue charting. While I understand that's how the school must function to properly educate the students, this amounts to about 12 hours in the chair for the patient and many more hours for me. In contrast, in private practice most people are long-time patients or come in regularly for cleanings, so you already know what issues are likely to present and deal with their needs as they arise.
Senior Year
Senior year: No more hard science classes or spending weekends studying for brutal weekly written exams. From now on, it's completely clinical and school is a lot like going to work. Show up prepared, treat patients, do lab work and go home. I love it.
However, there's a new kind of stress associated with senior year: treatment of patients with more difficult crowns, partials, dentures and restorations, and a huge list of competencies in the various specialties, e.g. scaling/root planning for perio, stainless steel crowns and pulpotomies for pedodontics, splints for TMD, and root canals for endodontics. If I am not proficient, I run the risk of not graduating on time.
As upperclassmen, we get more respect when it comes to our decisions for patient treatment, but we also have a lot more on our shoulders now. In our specialty rotations, we aren't assisting anymore; we're the ones doing the work. In emergency clinic, we're the ones determining why the patient is in pain and what should be done. In oral surgery, we're the ones removing teeth, reflecting tissue flaps, reducing/smoothing bone and suturing everything back together.
This is when all that studying comes to life and we'd better remember what kinds of procedures are indicated for each patient. Last year, we relied on the seniors to double check our decisions and give us advice. Now we're doing that for the juniors.
The faculty oversees all we do and expects us to show that we can make the right decisions and explain why we made that decision—both to them and the patient. Every part of our work is treated like a live exam. It's stressful, but fun at the same time. Errors are very embarrassing. Believe me, when you make a mistake and feel like an idiot, you won't make that mistake again. I've learned that the hard way, several times.
My Final Semester
As I enter my last semester, I'm preparing to take the Regional Clinical Boards in April that consist of a written exam and two days of procedure-based clinical exams in different restorations, periodontal procedures and root canals. Some of the work is performed on actual patients (whom we're responsible for recruiting from our pool of patients at the school's clinic) and some is done on extracted teeth mounted in simulated patients.
These boards are yet another new kind of stress. Once you get a patient in the chair and start the procedure, you never really know what can happen. For instance, if you're doing a filling, there may be a lot more decay than appeared radiographically or a microfracture that causes a whole cusp to fall off. Even worse, your patient may not show up. I've heard all kinds of horror stories about the unknowns of the exam and how things can go bad very quickly. Since you can't really study for them, you just have to be prepared and hope everything goes well.
The good thing is that boards are my final hurdle. If I pass and fulfill my work requirements in the school's clinic, I'll graduate on time in May. (There's no limit to the number of times we can take the boards but we must pay $2,500 each time; I plan to take them just once!) After graduation, it takes about four to six weeks for my license to clear and, once I receive it in the mail, I can start practicing dentistry the next day. It can't come soon enough!

Settle dispute in court
Despite months of discussion, offers and counter-offers, the dispute between the North Dakota State Fair Board and the Ward County Historical Society seems destined to end up in court.
The Fair Board met Tuesday and rejected a proposal from the society to essentially relocate the buildings of the Pioneer Village into a straight line along the Souris River a short distance from where the buildings currently sit. The board was also notified that the Historical Society had rejected a deal that would have relocated Pioneer Village to land near the Minot Air Museum in north Minot or to land owned by the Minot Park District just north of Roosevelt Park.
In other words, not much has changed in the ongoing dispute. The Fair Board maintains it has the right to use the land where the village sits as it sees fit, and that means moving the entire village off the fairgrounds to make way for an eventual new building and altered road. The Historical Society is firm in its belief that a 1966 agreement allows the village to remain in its current location.
At its core, the disagreement is a legal dispute over the terms of a 1966 contract. Both sides have shown some willingness to listen to offers and counter-offers, but neither side has budged from their original position. It's unfortunate that a compromise of some sort couldn't be worked out, but the two entities are clearly at a stalemate and the issue will only be resolved in a court of law.

Income up, costs down - Chelsea getting in shape for FFP
19 comments:
Not sure I agree with your assumption that UEFA will ignore exceptionals. Actually - let me rephrase that - I don't think UEFA should ignore exceptionals. Under IFRS there is next to nothing that you are allowed to put "below the line" any more; certainly not restructuring costs from sacking people, and certainly not impairment either, which at the end of the day is just accelerated/previously underestimated depreciation/amortisation which is clearly included. Overall though I will still be pleasantly amazed if FFP turns out to have any teeth at all.
- 8 February 2012 at 13:52
- andersred said...
We'll have to see on exceptionals won't we. The HMRC element is truly exceptional. The write down should probably be included because as you say it's accelerated amortisation.
Bottom line is that a continuing basis CFC have got themselves in shape. Staying that way is the challenge.
- 8 February 2012 at 13:55
Re exceptionals - hard to differentiate AVB compensation from a transfer fee so maybe they should be able to amortise it but not exclude it.
Compensation to football staff, is surely just normal expenditure too but HMRC costs were related to periods before FFP so probably fair to exclude. Impairment would be counted as a loss if the player went on a free, so I think that should be included too.
Overall, yes improving if they stop sacking managers but still a fair way to go as Torres & Luiz alone reverse some of the downwards trends.
- 8 February 2012 at 14:17
If ever I see the word 'assumed' or the phrase 'based on these assumptions' used in breaking down a report, the backside falls out of it. For me anyway.
- 8 February 2012 at 14:23
A couple of quick points. First, Torres joined Chelsea on the 31st of January 2011. Therefore, if Chelsea's accounts are for the year ended 30th June 2011, he had only been at Chelsea for five months not six and the amortisation figures reflect that and not six months.
I can't remember what day of January 2011 David Luiz signed but it was late in the month, possibly even the same day as Torres, so his amortisation figure should also be for only five months not six.
Secondly, even if 'exceptionals' were somehow to escape UEFA'scrutiny, itself a major assumption, in Chelsea's case these 'exceptionals' occur so often that they are no longer in the least bit exceptional!
On the revenue side, Chelsea's revenue has basically flatlined for four seasons in a row as the 2011 figures are only £10m more than the 2007 figures.
- 8 February 2012 at 20:16
- andersred said...
Every figure in the UEFA FFP breakeven calculation is obtainable from the accounts except the "deductable" youth and community spend figures. Either they have to be "assumed" or the calculation can't be done. I think it's worth making the estimate personally but it's a matter of taste.
I think you're correct about the five months vs. six months for Torres and Luiz. Each month only alters the annual amorisation charge by £1.25m so it isn't very material.
I think exceptionals will tend to be ignored by UEFA in the initial appraisals. If, as you say, they recur every year then that will have to change.
The situation for CFC shown by these figures is very straightforward, stop sacking managers and you can meet FFP rules, continue sacking them every 18-24 months and you probably won't.
I'm not sure where you are getting you 2007 figure from, the accounts I'm looking at say revenue (ex-JV) of £187.5m so growth since then of 18.5%.
- 8 February 2012 at 21:06
Fantastic stuff as always. You have a flair for making the complicated, clear. I reckon that their position is considerably worse than you might think.
1. in 2010-11 chelsea probably paid out considerably less in bonuses than 2009-10, and this probably accounts for most if not all of the decrease in wages.
2. in 2010-11 chelsea got rid of ballack, cole, belletti, carvalho and deco. They also sold stoch, mancienne, di santo and sinclair. These players would have represented the low hanging fruit when it came to cost-cutting yet Wages hardly went down at all.
3. This cost cutting was nearly completely wiped by the half year effect of the panic buying of Luiz and torres. They cost £71 million in fees, and about £200k a week in wages, adding up to about £130 million over five and a half years, or an increase of about £24 million a year in player costs. (between wages and amortization)
It's also worth pointing out that these two players are completely fucking useless from the point of view of rebuilding the team.
Their signing was completely unnecessary. From a footballing point of view, the players they already had were better, and from a financial point of view they've committed themselves to spending a lot of money over the 5 1/2 years to two pretty terrible players.
4. This season Chelsea sold zhirkov, and have shifted alex and anelka off the wage bill, and they raised the guts of £20 million from sales. But They spent approximately £80 million on 10 players. on top of the £112 million they spent last season, that's going to lead to a huge spike in their amortization charge, and probably a further increase in wages.
5. As for the pre-2010 contracts not counting, that might matter less than you think as, at the end of this season drogba, bosingwa and kalou are all out of contract. Cole, lampard, ferreira, essien malouda and cech will have one year left.
They could get a lot of these players off the wage bill in the summer, and that's before you consider the cost cutting potential of the terry courtcase.
However since these players have been there for a long time, it will have little downward impact on the Amortization charge.
6. Also effectively replacing the entire mourinho team in such a short space of time is going to be very difficult and ruinously expensive.
That's before you consider chelsea's incredibly patchy record in the transfer market over the last five or six years, and the terrible start they've made by signing torres and luiz.
7. So I suppose, on the plus side their wages stood still, on the minus side they needed to come sharply down. They seem to be dependent in increases in centralized contracts to increase their income. Their player costs are possibly going to surge, while the standard of the team visibly declines.
At the moment, they're not that far ahead of newcastle, arsenal and even liverpool, and finishing fifth this season could completely wipe them out.
AVB must have been horrified to see Dembis Cisse slamming in that brilliant goal against villa. The prospect of chelsea being knocked out of the CL places by a team with a £50,000 a week wagecap fills me with glee.

Anders, my comment about four years flatlining of revenues is correct but I mistakenly said 2007 instead of 2008, the four seasons being 07/08, 08/09/, 09/10 and 10/11.
The revenue figure for 2008 was £213m and that was four seasons ago.
As for next season, even if Chelsea qualify for the CL in 4th place, assuming they qualify at all, their revenues will drop as fourth placed qualifiers earn considerably than Champions, as Chelsea were when they qualified for last season's CL.
Hopper is almost certainly correct when he identifies lower bonuses last season, as Chelsea won nothing, as a major factor behind the reduction in wages of 2.6%.

What about Mata, Lukaku and other players they have bought, but the amortisation charges will be shown in this years finances?
Should that not make onother 15-16mio "cost" on amortisation (90mio pounds/5years contracts, if it's all 5 years) in the next results?

Interesting stuff Hopper and worthy of proper reply tomorrow!
Frank, the revenue growth hasn't been all that I completely agree. The media and matchday element is largely out of their hands (especially given Stamford Bridge ticket prices). The "jaws" between cash cost growth and revenue growth over that period is pretty impressive with revenue up 5.7% and costs up 3.6%. That second figure (CAGR of 1.2% per annum) is remarkably low for a major football club. The trick of course is to continue with sub-inflation cost rises and there's the debate!

Its hard to really take you seriously considering the fact that you called david luiz a terrible player. If u had any brains at all u will know david luiz is one of the best defender in the world. He plays in the brazilian national team. Do u have any idea of how many defenders brazil have. Quit hating,it ain't chelsea's fault that your club can't afford players like that anymore. Hate it or love it,chelsea will succeed.

Well as I've stated for a Long time will wont be able to boost income by moving to a bigger stadium as #SNCPO won't sell there shares back to the club for us to look at the possibility to move away from Stamford bridge.. I in my own opinion thinks its time we moved into a newer and bigger stadium due to the fact we can't build any extra on Stamford bridge. Who knows mayb as roman brought Chelsea he might up sticks and take the team with him to a newer stadium and those who have pitch shares will b left with a stadium with no team to play in it.

LOL! -£41.8M on exceptions of which £28M was for Ancelotti/backroom staff exits/AVB 'transfer fee' from Porto FC.
Looks like it's gonna happen again as AVB is currently staring at the precipice of being sack by Roman Abramovich after the 2-0 defeat by Everton. Even if Roman doesn't pulled the trigger today - the whole Chelsea house is in disarray - squad in mutiny, danger of not achieving the 4th UCL spot, etc.
The 2 scenarios available to RA; 1. Sack AVB/Bring in Guus Hiddink/recruit new manager next season - another £25-30M lost plus whether if they could secure 4th place (UCL) with Guus?
2. Keep AVB + probably lose 4th place/secure Europa place = £30-40 loss in UCL earnings.
Tough decisions, Roman!

Ben, even a Russian oligarch as rich as Abramovich will eventually get tired of seeing his money going down the tube.
I can't say I blame him, considering he has already splurged over a billion on his whored out plaything, Chelsea.
He is also getting on in years and what was exciting for him 8 or 9 years ago is no longer enough to grip his fancy, so to speak.
That said, having spent a billion on a football club, the least he would have expected is that the club would be more than the third best team in London!
Therefore, it is not surprising that such an oligarch should feel he has the right to interfere in issues such as team selection and, even, player transfers - hello, Shevchenko and Torres.
It is a great thing for football that not even Abramovich has been able to buy CL success for Chelsea, although if he had not fallen out with Jose, it is more than likely that Chelski would have won the CL by now.
When he first bougth the services of his whore club, Chelski, he paid out hundreds of millions and enjoyed immediate gratification during the reign of Mourinho.
However, he was unable to come to grips with the fact the Chelski fans were singing Mourinho's name and not his, even though he was the owner putting in loads of dosh into the club.
Even a Russian oligarch as rich as Abramovich is going to get pissed off after spending over a billion pounds and his club is in serious danger of missing out on CL football next season.
There is a limit on how much of his fortune he is prepared to lavish every year on his whore club, especially if the club in question is failing at every level.
Whatever his true fortune is, £10bn or £12bn, spending a billion or more on a sextoy, such as Chelski, makes a noticeable impression on his wealth.
It cannot be presumed that he will continue to be so generous with his wealth - and, certainly, Liverpool cannot assume that he will continue to pay so much money, £50m, for a player who is past his 'best buy' date!

Poor old frank it must break his heart to see Chelsea "The whored out plaything" top of the league............oops, by his reckoning that makes Chelsea London's top club.
"It is a great thing for football that not even Abramovich has been able to buy CL success for Chelsea" ................oops
"Even a Russian oligarch as rich as Abramovich is going to get pissed off after spending over a billion pounds and his club is in serious danger of missing out on CL football next season."....oops.
"There is a limit on how much of his fortune he is prepared to lavish every year on his whore club, especially if the club in question is failing at every level."............European champions and top of the league...............oops.
"It cannot be presumed that he will continue to be so generous with his wealth".........Hazard,Oscar, Marin, Moses,etc............oops.
It must be terrible to choke in your own bile.

This hole is filled as it is every year by loans from Abramovich's parent company Fordstam Limited. In the past, such loans are converted to equity after a while and no doubt the same will happen again. matawan income tax preparer

What an incredibly romantic hairstyle this is as Catherine Zeta Jones has her long hair styled up into this sexy and stylish updo. The hair is styled up and away from the sides and front of face. It is built high on top and carried towards the back. The hair has been curled and styled into this bun updo at back. This is a great look for a wedding or prom.Catherine's haircut is long.The hair colour is a very dark brown.

It may not be for the faint of heart, but there are people who are buying classic cars—both restored and yet-to-be-restored—online, via auction sites and dealership web sites.
"We bought our '55 Porsche Continental Cabrio from pictures on an eBay auction held in Hawaii," admits Michigan collector Barry Wolk. As the online offers slowly climbed, Wolk did a little offline research and contacted the head of the Porsche Club in Hawaii, who knew the car.
"He said it was being fairly represented," says Wolk, who ended up buying the Porsche for the reserve price — the minimum amount acceptable to the seller. The long-distance deal was done.
Though cars are among the most-researched items online, most are actually bought in person. I'm that way. I like to get behind the wheel and drive it (when possible) before making an offer. People with deeper pockets than I might buy an expensive classic collector car sight unseen, but that usually includes hiring a pre-purchase inspector to evaluate the vehicle. Also, many companies have liberal return policies that take some of the risk out of long-distance shopping.
Bill Hill of Michigan has a strong interest in "unusual" unrestored cars and trucks, and his garages hold automotive treasures from 1915 to a couple of post-World War II Woodie station wagons. Hill bought a rare 1931 Hudson sight unseen, and he was willing to buy a couple of 1935 Hupmobile coupes online just to get some sought-after original fender skirts for the '35 Hupp he was cleaning up. Buying vehicles "long distance" doesn't faze him.
