Air Canada
Oral Questions
October 6th, 2010 / 3 p.m.
Luc Desnoyers Rivière-des-Mille-Îles, QC
Mr. Speaker, Air Canada machinists are worried. The company wants to transfer the work of its machinists to a company called Aveos, yet Aveos is talking about moving some of its operations to El Salvador.
The Leader of the Government spoke about ongoing discussions with the companies involved. However, the Air Canada Public Participation Act is clear and requires that Air Canada maintain operational and overhaul centres in Montreal, Mississauga, and Winnipeg. Will the government enforce this?
Air Canada
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Chilliwack—Fraser Canyon
Chuck Strahl Minister of Transport
Of course, Mr. Speaker, all the companies that are affected by that particular piece of legislation are expected to adhere to the law. I have no proposals that have crossed my desk that suggest otherwise.
All those companies understand their obligations.
Aboriginal Affairs
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Carol Hughes Algoma—Manitoulin—Kapuskasing, ON
Mr. Speaker, with Thanksgiving just days away, communities such as Grassy Narrows First Nation are worried that the fish they are eating are still contaminated with mercury.
The problem is made even worse by clear-cutting in the region, which can raise mercury levels in rivers and fish, and now Weyerhaeuser is not respecting Grassy Narrows' moratorium on logging.
Health Canada has ignored repeated calls to test the fish in the English River system for these dangerous pollutants.
Can the minister reassure people that there is no chance that their Thanksgiving dinners are coming with a side order of mercury? Why will the government not act to protect the people of Grassy Narrows?
Aboriginal Affairs
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Ottawa West—Nepean
John Baird Leader of the Government in the House of Commons
Mr. Speaker, we are all concerned about the plight of first nations, particularly in Grassy Narrows, which has experienced a good number of challenges. We remain committed to work with the community involved and to ensure that the government can provide the support they need.
International Co-operation
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Lois Brown Newmarket—Aurora, ON
Mr. Speaker, Canada has taken the lead on the world stage when it comes to helping those less fortunate.
At the MDG summit in New York, the Prime Minister outlined the plans for our maternal health initiative.
As our Prime Minister said:
[I]t will be critical that our words...ultimately translate into simple realities like food on the table, improved health and a better life for children around the world.
Can the Minister of International Cooperation give us an update on what she is doing to make good on the Prime Minister's promise?
International Co-operation
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Bev Oda Minister of International Cooperation
Mr. Speaker, too many children's lives throughout the developing world are being lost to diseases that can be prevented, and Canada is taking real action to save lives in developing countries.
At the UN, the Prime Minister announced a 20% increase in Canada's support for the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.
Today I am pleased to announce Canada's increased contribution to the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization of $50 million over five years. This will strengthen the immunization systems in developing countries and save lives of children, an important component of Canada's G8 initiative to save the lives of mothers, newborns, and children.
Oral Questions
3:05 p.m.
Maria Minna Beaches—East York, ON
Mr. Speaker, there is corporate welfare for profitable Vale while families are losing their homes as manufacturing plants in southwestern Ontario continue to close, the Bick's plant in Dunnville being the most recent example. Communities such as Hamilton, Chatham, Windsor and Dunnville need to know that their government cares about their future.
Where is the government's plan to bring highly paid, full-time jobs back to these communities?
Oral Questions
3:05 p.m.
Parry Sound—Muskoka
Tony Clement Minister of Industry
Mr. Speaker, there is a plan. It is called the economic action plan. It is called everything that we do to focus on jobs and recovery and full-time jobs in our manufacturing sector and indeed in all sectors. That is why we are focusing on those issues. That is why we are reducing taxes for businesses, small and large, so they can grow jobs in our communities.
Why is the hon. member part of a party that wants to raise taxes on people who create jobs in our communities? Why?
International Trade
Oral Questions
3:05 p.m.
Charlie Angus Timmins—James Bay, ON
Mr. Speaker, it has been 10 years since the people of Ontario said good riddance to the notorious Adams Mine garbage dump, but now we learn that an American, Vito Gallo, is trying to hit up the Canadian taxpayer for $355 million through a NAFTA challenge.
The funny thing is that nobody has ever heard of this guy before. He invested zero dollars in the site and he has never bid on any garbage contract, but his partners have given generously to the Conservative Party, and he quotes two cabinet ministers in his statement of claim against the Canadian people.
The question is, is the fix in? Will the government stand up for Canada or roll over for Vito Gallo and his buddies?
International Trade
Oral Questions
3:05 p.m.
Peter Van Loan Minister of International Trade
Mr. Speaker, our government has a very proud record of standing up for Canada and for Canadian workers throughout by taking advantage of the provisions that exist in our North American Free Trade Agreement. If the hon. member had been following it, he would have seen a number of very recent successes where Canada has won its cases in that forum. We continue to be successful in that forum.
We will continue to stand up for Canadian workers, for policies that are sound, and for jobs and prosperity in Canada as a result of the North American Free Trade Agreement.
Oral Questions
3:05 p.m.
Carole Freeman Châteauguay—Saint-Constant, QC
Mr. Speaker, in her annual report to Parliament, the Privacy Commissioner criticized the Conservative government's lack of concern over protecting personal information. According to her findings, not one of the five departments and agencies audited adequately assesses the risks associated with using wireless communication devices. She also noted that 90% of the departments had not properly wiped their computers' hard drives before donating the computers to schools.
Does the government realize that protecting personal information is not optional?
Oral Questions
3:05 p.m.
Stockwell Day President of the Treasury Board and Minister for the Asia-Pacific Gateway
Mr. Speaker, the Privacy Commissioner has raised these concerns, and we agree with her. We were already aware of certain situations and have taken measures to protect the devices. We will follow her suggestions because we agree with her.
Presence in Gallery
Oral Questions
3:05 p.m.
The Speaker Peter Milliken
I would like to draw to the attention of hon. members the presence in the gallery of Dr. Andrew Molozzi, a principal designer and so one of the pioneers of Canada's original space program, the Alouette satellite program.

any suggestions on where to start on how much sugar to add?
Thanks I will give it a try. I am wondering why skip the bulk rise, I am always interested in the reasons so that I can get a good understanding of the cause and effect in baking.
It makes sense, I can see how the yeast may have run out of food giving me the poor results. How critical is the water temperature? I try to have my water at 100F when making dough.

Run Around Rainier - Page 3
Just 30 minutes up the trail I actually did see a mountain lion. It was terrifying because I was completely alone with no way to defend myself. I yelled and made obnoxious noises, hoping to scare it away. I used up a lot of energy on the next climb. Then, I encountered another lion, it could've been the same one, a few miles up the trail, and again yelled loudly to make myself seem unappealing.
My last large animal encounter was a sleepy bear, as the sun was rising. I disturbed the bear by shining my light in its eyes and then by making loud noises. The bear huffed at me and I decided to quiet down and slowly continue down the trail. As soon as I was around a corner, I hightailed it out of there!
What were the toughest parts about the run?
The trail gains somewhere around 27,000 feet. That really took a toll on my body. The mountain lion and bear encounters were also stressful. Running solo and carrying so much gear for almost 100 miles is tough enough without those additional challenges.
Tell us about your hallucinations and how they affected you?
By the second morning, I was really beginning to hallucinate. Tree stumps turned into cowboys; leaves on the trail transformed into hopping frogs. The hallucinations lasted throughout day two. I think because I was so tired they were more intense than I had ever experienced. I was falling asleep while trying to run. I knew I either needed a nap or a change of pace. I downed another gel, turned my music up and picked up my pace. That kept me from falling asleep, but my mind was creating an outward wonderland from my inner emotional journey.
Have you attempted any other long trails?
Yes, quite a few. I was running about 50K most weekends last fall and winter in the Cascades and last November I ran Utah's 48-mile Zion Traverse [Burt set the women's unsupported FKT]. A few days later I ran the R2R2R [40 miles] at the Grand Canyon. I also ran around Mount Hood on the 40-mile Timberline Trail solo, a week after the Wonderland FKT. September is a great time to run in the mountains!
Tell us about the Bellingham trail-running scene.
There are so many great trails in town and the mountains around the city, and we have two great running stores that support the trail-running scene. Fairhaven Runners and Walkers has been a key sponsor for the BTRS.
There are a lot of groups run trails, almost every day of the week. It is really an inspiring town to live in. In the summer, it is fun to run around the trails at Mount Baker, just an hour to the east.
Did you start the Bellingham Trail Running Series?
Yes. I began the BTRS in December 2011 after a year of assistant race directing ultra-distance trail races in Washington for Rainshadow Running and after competing in the Washington Ultra Running Series. I was inspired to create a similar series of short- to mid-distance trail races that could bring the trail-running community together in Bellingham.
I wanted to offer competitive, scenic, hilly, singletrack running. There are a number of road and urban trail races in Bellingham, but only a few races that are on mostly singletrack mountain trails.
How did you get interested in race directing?
I wanted to be a integral part of the trail-running community, and felt like I could offer community-centered, scenic trail races. It has been a fun and rewarding way to give back to this amazing community.
What else do you do to pay the bills?
I also practice massage in Bellingham and teach sports massage at the Port Townsend School of Massage.
What are your future goals in trail running?
I'd like to continue to race direct fun and inspiring trail races in Washington. I am also working with a coach to improve my speed and focus my training on my key events for 2013. I'm a little obsessed with the 100-mile distance and anticipate more solo endeavors in my future. I like the self sufficiency and the inherent danger of a solo adventure.
What's on tap for 2013?
My next goal race is HURT 100 in January. I will put in my ticket for the Hardrock and Western States lotteries and will run one if I get in.
Any FKT attempts?
Yes! The Tahoe Rim Trail [170 miles]. I'm not sure if I will do it unsupported or supported yet. There are more volcanoes to circumnavigate as well, like Mount Saint Helens.

WEST AMWELL TWP., N.J. - West Amwell Township, Hunterdon County, New Jersey is in shock after someone vandalized a well-known shopping center with swastikas.
Police said they plan to meet with a person of interest in the case on either Monday or Tuesday.
The attempt to tear the community apart with the vandalism is doing just the opposite.
"It was kind of overwhelming to see that in this day and time," said William Gibbs, owner of Chicken Dog Cafe, located in the Mount Airy Shopping Village.
"You get thrown off by something like that. You don't expect it to be in this town," add Jordan Brennan, owner of Downtown Performing Arts Center, another business in the strip mall.
There is more than just a line of black spray paint on three buildings at the Mt. Airy Shopping Village on Route 179.
Police say on Thursday morning a person spray painted swastikas, and curse words as well.
"My family died in the Holocaust," added Fran Affleck, a customer at Chicken Dog Cafe. "My best friend's father is a survivor of Auschwitz. To come up here in 2014. This is not 1940. To see this desecrated like this, this is a horrific act."
Owners of the strip mall are covering up the vandalism and say they hope police catch the person responsible.
"It's a shame, never should have happened," said Thomas Hood, as crews painted over the paint. "Somebody is not in their right mind when they are doing stuff like this."
Hood says he caught the whole thing on surveillance video.
Investigators are now looking at that video and tell us there may be an arrest soon.
"We've developed a person of interest that we anticipate speaking to," said Captain Stephen Bartzak, police captain for the West Amwell Township Police Department.
"I don't think nor do I hope it was targeted directly at us or any of the businesses here," said Brennan.
There is a silver lining in this dark cloud.
Business owners say an act meant to break bonds is bringing a community closer together.
"We were here three hours after closing because people were still coming and just saying I'm sorry, their sympathy, and compassion and saying it is not something we do," said Gibbs.

Dr. Niebrzydowski, daughter of Todd and Dana Colenso of Iron Mountain, is a board certified naturopathic physician, licensed acupuncturist and Chinese Herbalist. She graduated from Iron Mountain High School in 1994 and went on to receive a bachelor's in mathematics from Michigan State University in 2001.

Ladies, this is the big one that we've been gearing up for all awards season. The Superbowl of red carpets was last night, and overall, the stars did not disappoint. For me, white gowns ruled the evening, which is not usually my thing. There were a few great bursts of colors — in addition to Emma Stone, Michelle Williams came close to making my list with her coral peplumed gown. And then there was Angelina in black. It was a gorgeous gown, no question. But I can't take any actress seriously when she's jutting her leg out of a slit so hard (Lea Michele, I'm talking to you!). That posing alone kept her off of my list.
Drum roll please…..here are my favorites of the night:
Milla Jovovich in Elie Saab (via) — Milla was one of the first to hit the red carpet, and she looked completely glamorous in this one shoulder beaded gown. This is what movie stars are supposed to look like!
Octavia Spencer in Tadashi Shoji (via) — Octavia has done really well this awards season, but I don't think she's ever looked better than in this gown. She should wear nothing but Tadashi going forward.
Emma Stone in Giambattista Valli (via) — Blah blah, Nicole Kidman, blah blah. This girl made heads turn last night, and I thought she looked absolutely stunning. The huge bow isn't for everyone, but I think she really pulled it off.
Gwyneth Paltrow in Tom Ford (via) — Stunning. Fierce. She looks absolutely statuesque in a gown that VERY few women could pull off. My only quibble was with her ponytail, which looked unfinished.
Cameron Diaz in Gucci (via) — Cameron's style doesn't always do it for me, but I thought she looked fantastic. Yes, her hair and her gown are the same color, but she manages to look like herself (somewhat beachy-chic), while still looking appropriate for the Oscars.
Agree? Disagree? Who were your favorites?

Cliff Lee didn't get his long-term deal....yet.
But, what about Westbrook? Last offseason, we signed him to a 2-year deal with a club option for a third (which I assume is a no-brainer we will pick up). I think Westbrook has proven himself, and I'd like to see them extend him now if they can. Maybe go the route of Sabathia last year, where they agreed to pick up the option and tacked on two years to his deal.
Would be nice to have Sabathia, Westbrook, Byrd and Lee locked in the next 3 years. Then, all you have to do is let Sowers, Carmona, Adam Miller, etc battle it out for the #5.

Assists saved day
To the Journal editor:
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the Marquette Police Department officer and the two kind souls who came to our aid on Jan. 26. My mother and I were on our way to the cathedral for church and my car ended up in a snow bank.
I was stuck! Before I could get out of my car, they were there and offered to help. These kind souls pushed us out. That day you restored my faith in mankind.
Thank you and may God bless.

Sports Editor
On Tuesday, it was opening night of the National Basketball Association season and former Laker great Magic Johnson was in peak form.
However, Johnson is no longer a player or even a Laker minority owner. He's one of the Dodgers' new owners.
"But my heart is still with the Lakers," he said. "I love the Lakers."
He loves them enough to be quite upset about the status of the franchise.
Johnson spent Tuesday appearing on a variety of radio sports shows and his theme was the same – the Lakers are in trouble.
"I think the Lakers are beginning a difficult stretch," he said. "Fans are spoiled by the success the Lakers have had and I don't know how they're going to react to what's happening now."
He worries about the upcoming years if Jim Buss, the new owner, doesn't change his ways.
"Jerry Buss welcomed advice from his basketball people," Johnson recalled. "He had Jerry West, Mitch Kupchak, me sometimes, four or five people he respected. As the owner he made final decisions but he listened to advisors he trusted.
'Jim Buss doesn't want anyone telling him what to do. I think it's ego.
"But in recruiting free agents can you imagine Pat Riley competing against Jim Buss? I think Pat has a lot of credibility that would be a big advantage.
"I don't think Jim Buss is a bad guy. Not at all. But I think he needs to listen to advice."
Johnson then took off on the Lakers' failure to hire Phil Jackson as coach. He listed Jackson's impressive credentials and pointed out Jackson is engaged to Jeannie Buss, so hiring him would have been easy and most welcome.
Finally, Johnson was critical of Coach Mike D'Antonio's handling of Pau Gasol last season.
"He messed with Pau, and Pau is one of the premier big men in basketball," Johnson said. "In fact, for awhile, he took Pau out of the lineup."
Johnson's opinions were expressed before the Lakers upset the Clippers, 116-103 on opening night.
It was a night when D'Antoni showed off his new-look roster for a surprising victory over the Clippers, who beat the Lakers in all four of their meetings last season.
With 81 games remaining in the regular season it remains to be seen what the upcoming games will bring.

Molly Hopson, 17, commands a class of fidgety kindergartners with nothing more than confidence and a bag of black gloves.
Getting 5-year-olds to sit still and arrange their fingers to form words in American Sign Language isn't easy.
Hopson, who seems perfectly at home in front of a class, has a system, however.
For her senior project at Village Academy, a private school in Powell, she has devised a way of instructing youngsters in sign language.
Simple and effective, it might never have happened if Hopson had done better at freshman Spanish.
"I was taking Spanish, and it wasn't working," she said. "I wasn't doing very well in the class."
So she switched to American Sign Language and fell in love.
She also loves children.
When the time came to select a senior project, she put the two together.
Her idea: to color-code the fingers of gloves using dots of paint. Instead of using terms such as "pinkie" or "index finger" when instructing kindergartners, she names the corresponding colors.
"I thought it was wonderful," said Kathy Morgan, a Village Academy teacher who is advising Hopson on the project.
In 25 years of teaching there, Morgan has seen plenty of projects but no other involving sign language.
Hopson chose her mother as her test subject.
"She actually took the first sign-language class with me, and she wasn't as good as I was," the daughter said. "Her fingers — she'd always get them tangled. So I tested it on her, and she said it worked great."
It has proved similarly effective with the youngsters.
She gave the kindergarten class taught by Nicole Callahan a week's worth of instruction earlier this fall — followed by regular refreshers.
"They started remembering things right away," Hopson said. "The first day — within, like, 20 minutes — they got through the alphabet. They got through three days of work I'd planned out in one day."
She gives each child a black glove and covers the signs in different categories: numbers, food, the alphabet.
"Put your red in between your blue and your white," she says as the students arrange their fingers to make an "m."
Later, gloves off, they switch to animals — with the alligator sign (as in the University of Florida Gators gesture) a favorite.
She will write a paper on the project and present it to a panel of reviewers before graduation.
She plans to attend either John Carroll or Wittenberg university next fall as an education major.
These days, when she passes the kindergartners in the hallways at Village Academy, they throw a flurry of signs at her.
Some of them, no doubt, make the sign for teacher.
The description fits.

DNR seeks information on wolf poaching in Iron County
Battle for souls
The simple way to control people is not welcomed by many of the world, let alone in the U.S.A.
That is the fear of going to hades if you disobey the creator. With no fear of everlasting suffering, the angry person will do evil things and that is the will of Lucifer, the most beautiful creature ever created.
This Lucifer received knowledge beyond our human comprehension. Most know that Lucifer was rebellious and disobeyed God and was cast down to earth to roam and patrol and deceive many.
Does Lucifer (the devil) need to roam and patrol anymore? No.
With the electronics of our times, internet, TV and radio, the devil just sits back, controls much of the media and lets them do his work.
Some folks that do not believe hades exists are the atheists. I was once an atheist and as I studied, it became clear that an intelligence had to create the universe.
There are even some who believe in a creator God and still do not believe in hades. Then there are those that remove God from our schools and our government.
They are some of our elected or appointed officials. These people can force us to obey their laws, I say again, their laws, and use the powers of secular agencies.
The laws of our constitution were put into place by God-fearing men, yes God-fearing men.
God created us with a free will and consequently cannot force us to accept him or his teachings or he would break the promise of guaranteed free will.
Some folks say that religion is the cause of war. Yep, your right. It's a battle for souls – ever lasting happiness or everlasting sadness.

In the shadow of Delray Beach's Atlantic Avenue Bridge sits an upscale yet casual boat-up spot with big flavor. Deck 84 dabbles in American cuisine, which encompasses all kinds of dishes. From fresh seafood to southern comfort food, 84 serves fantastic, varied bites. The bacon-wrapped meatloaf ($18) is a great landlubber feast, while the Key lime mahi mahi ($26) is a perennial favorite. For those watching their figure, the Eat Well, Be Well menu is light on the belly, with every item coming in under 600 calories. But just because the calories count is low doesn't mean the flavor suffers; the herb-roasted chicken chop ($18) comes in at a meager 560 calories and is topped with a savory wild rice-quinoa pilaf and green bean mushroom sauté. Though the menu has plenty to peruse—not to mention a large specials board—there is no better time to head to the Deck than for Sunday brunch.
Eggs benedict, breakfast burritos and quiche are all made with organic eggs. What's more, the build-your-own Bloody Mary bar has 20 different ingredients.
For those looking to jam out, the sprawling outdoor deck/bar (where Deck 84 gets its name) hosts live music every Friday, Saturday and Sunday. For a rundown of the schedule, click here.
Dock space is limited at only 150 feet, but the Delray Beach public docks are just one block south.
840 E. Atlantic Ave., Delray Beach, 561-665-8484

This week, I am in Melbourne, Australia for the [IBM System x and System Storage Technical Symposium]. Here is a recap of Day 1:
- Keynote Session
The keynote was led by Phil Tasker, IBM Business Unit Executive (BUE) for STG Education Programs in Growth Markets, then Joe Screnci, head of IBM Storage Sales for Australia. IBM is in the Top 10 Training Hall of Fame, and conducts over 40,000 classes worldwide, resulting in over 1.3 million student days of instructions. IBM Systems Lab and Training technical hosts over three dozen conferences like this one every year.
Next was Clod Barrera, Distinguished Engineer and Chief Technical Strategist for the IBM System Storage product line. He covered future trends in storage as they relate to IBM's Smarter COmputing initiative.
- Storage for the Clouds
Clod Barrera presented this break-out session on Cloud Storage. He covered why clouds matter, the various types and purposes of cloud, technology and architectures, and where IBM is headed to support this trend.
Storage for Cloud computing was $1 Billion USD business in 2010, and is expected to grow 32 percent CAGR through, compared to 3.8 percent for non-cloud storage. Clod estimates that 10 to 15 percent of all storage will be in cloud deployments by 2015. Of this storage, analysts expect 50 percent in private clouds, and the other 50 percent in public clouds. For private clouds, clients are looking to "Cloudify" their existing IT infrastructures. For public clouds, the projects are mostly green field.
IBM is also looking to the "arms dealer" of choice for Telcos and other companies looking to launch their own Cloud Services. IBM has a Cloud Services Provider Platform (CSP2) specifically to provide all the tools and technologies needed to make this possible.
Last month, IBM launched several new solutions for Cloud. The IBM Starter Kit for Cloud will help existing IT environments adopt cloud technologies. The IBM Service Agility Accelerator for Cloud is available for more advanced deployments. IBM Service Delivery Manager (ISDM) integrates a collection of software to provide complete integrated service management. IBM CloudBurst provides an integrated hardware-and-software stack for both x86 and POWER chipsets.
Multi-tenancy is also a big issue, and this varies depending on deployment model: IaaS, PaaS, or SaaS. Multi-tenancy is needed to help divide up management tasks, and to ensure that shared resources are paid for and meet SLA requirements accordingly.
Clod feels there are good reasons to use high performance, transactional SAN storage for VMware environments, versus NAS which many people consider simpler to deploy. IBM is also active in open standards, including SNIA's Cloud Data Management Interface [CDMI].
- Journey to the Private Cloud
Gary Luke from Brocade provided this session on IBM's SAN384B-2 and SAN768B-2 SAN directors. Brocade is one of IBM's suppliers for SAN switches, and thanks to TRILL being adopted last August by IETF, supports multi-hop FCoE configurations! However, Gary did not talk about FCoE, but rather native FCP and FICON support in these new directors.
According to VMware, only 30 percent of x86 workloads are virtualized by any hypervisor. Gary feels that server virtualization and the use of Solid-State Drives (SSD) in disk arrays are driving existing 8 Gbps SAN to upgrade to 16 Gbps. Gary feels that Fibre-Channel based SANs are best positioned to handle unpredictable peaks in a 24-by-7 world.
The SAN384B-2 can house up to 256 ports (8 Gbps) or 192 ports (16 Gbps) in four slots, 9U chassis. The SAN768B-2 can handle twice these, in a 12U chassis. The nice thing about the 16Gbps ports is that they can auto-negotiate down to 10, 8, 4 and 2 Gbps. This is far better than typical N-2 support, often referred to as the speeds supported, such as 4/2/1 and 8/4/2. An upcoming FOS release will allow people with previous generation SAN384B-1/SAN768B-1 directors to move their 8Gbps blades over to the new SAN384B-2/SAN768B-2 generation models.
Since most CWDM and DWDM only support maximum 10 Gbps FC and 10GbE, Brocade's 16Gbps can automatically drop down to 10 Gbps for direct attachment to CWDM/DWDM, rather than having a step-down box normally required.
A major advancement is the change from copper to optical "Inter-Chassis Links" (ICL). Unlike Inter-switch links (ISL) that use up SAN ports on each box, the ICL is faster, more efficient and does not consume ports. Normally, clients would connect two directors together, but now you can connect up to six chassis together! For example, you can have four SAN368B-2 connected to your host servers, ICL attached to two SAN768B-2, that are then connected to your disk and tape storage devices. The fiber optic ICL allow for up to 50 meters distance. Combining six chassis together would allow the complex to support over 3,000 ports (8 Gbps) or 2,300 ports (16 Gbps).
Brocade supports encryption of data in-flight. Why is this important? Gary suggested we watch this [YouTube video from Australia's Today Tonight show]:
The SAN384B-2 and SAN768B-2 supports "virtual SAN" logical switches, traffic isoliation (TI) zones, fabric-assigned WWNNs, and fabric-based QoS.
Lastly, Brocade offers a free utility called [SANhealth] that will gather data from your b-type, m-type and even Cisco MDS-based SAN. The data can then be sent to Brocade for analysis, and Brocade will then email back some nice Visio graphs, spreadsheets and other analysis results on the health of your SAN.

Employment Insurance
Oral Question Period
April 30th, 2004 / 11:55 a.m.
Paul Crête Kamouraska—Rivière-Du-Loup—Témiscouata—Les Basques, QC
Mr. Speaker, three years after the tabling of the unanimous report of the human resources committee proposing a true reform of the employment insurance program, we are still waiting for the Liberal government to take concrete action and do the right thing by the unemployed and seasonal workers.
Will the government finally stop talking and start acting, and will it commit to voting in favour of EI reform before the elections? Will it support the motion I will be introducing shortly to that effect?
Employment Insurance
Oral Question Period
11:55 a.m.
Eleni Bakopanos Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development (Social Economy)
Mr. Speaker, I do not accept the premise of the hon. member's question. In fact, we have responded and made changes to employment insurance in the past three years. We have invested in excess of $500 million in Quebec for that very purpose.
We have made changes relating to the small weeks, enabling people to take part time jobs. The intensity rule has been abolished, the length of the benefit period increased, and the average weekly benefits raised by about 9%. We continue to make changes, as the minister has already said here in the House.
Maher Arar Inquiry
Oral Question Period
11:55 a.m.
Marlene Catterall Ottawa West—Nepean, ON
Mr. Speaker, at the Arar inquiry government lawyers are objecting to Mr. Arar being represented by legal counsel when the commission considers what evidence should be in secret.
How can the government justify arguing that it needs to be represented in these hearings but Mr. Arar does not? Will the government withdraw its objections and allow Mr. Arar to be represented on a fair and equal basis with the government?
Maher Arar Inquiry
Oral Question Period
11:55 a.m.
Yvon Charbonneau Parliamentary Secretary to the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness (Emergency Preparedness)
Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Ottawa West—Nepean for her question, which reflects the sensitivity of public opinion in connection with this case and this inquiry, for indeed it is an inquiry and not a trial.
It is not appropriate for a parliamentarian, minister or not, to comment on the arguments used by counsel for either side. I must emphasize to everyone here, as well as to the general public, that we have confidence in Justice O'Connor's ability to carry out the inquiry appropriately. He will be the one to hear representatives of both parties and he will decide on the proper way to hold this inquiry.
Oral Question Period
11:55 a.m.
Wendy Lill Dartmouth, NS
Mr. Speaker, a few weeks ago the Minister of Canadian Heritage said she would "as quickly as possible, make changes to our copyright law" to end peer to peer file sharing on the Internet. Creators want to know, will the minister table legislation to deal with this loophole before the expected election is announced?
Oral Question Period
11:55 a.m.
Mauril Bélanger Deputy Leader of the Government in the House of Commons
Mr. Speaker, the minister has said that this matter is being addressed. It is being addressed, and as soon as the appropriate measures have been approved by the authorities within the government, these measures will be introduced to the House.
Port Security
Oral Question Period
Canadian Alliance
Andy Burton Skeena, BC
Mr. Speaker, Canada's national security police announced this week that the RCMP has established national ports enforcement teams at only three Canadian ports: Vancouver, Halifax and Montreal.
My question is simply this: What federal assistance will be given to enhance security at other significant Canadian ports, such as the port of Prince Rupert in my riding of Skeena?
Port Security
Oral Question Period
Stoney Creek
Tony Valeri Minister of Transport
Mr. Speaker, as I have said here in recent days, the government will participate in assisting our ports and port facilities in meeting international requirements. In the coming days, an announcement will be made to assist ports and port facilities in meeting that standard.
Marine security continues to be a very key priority in the overall transportation security envelope. Transport Canada is committed to working together with our stakeholders to ensure that not only do we meet a North American standard but that we meet the international standard by July 1.
Canada Labour Code
Oral Question Period
Monique Guay Laurentides, QC
Mr. Speaker, eloquent examples such as Radio-Nord Communications show that the absence of an anti-scab law prolongs the duration of a strike. We have been saying this for a number of years.
Today, on the eve of May 1, international labour day, we ask the Minister of Labour once again: when will there be an anti-scab law for businesses operating under federal jurisdiction? Does she understand that, because of her lack of action, she is taking the side of the employers in their disdain for employees?
Canada Labour Code
Oral Question Period
Denis Coderre President of the Queen's Privy Council for Canada
Mr. Speaker, as we have always said, when there is an employer-employee process in place, we must respect that process. That is what the minister has been doing, since the beginning, and she does it very well, too.
Foreign Affairs
Oral Question Period
Don Boudria Glengarry—Prescott—Russell, ON
Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Foreign Affairs. The Prime Minister has recently announced the establishment of a public advocacy and legislative secretariat at the Canadian embassy in Washington. Would the government tell us how this centre will function and what specific role is envisaged for members of the House?
Foreign Affairs
Oral Question Period
Dan McTeague Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Foreign Affairs
Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the hon. member for Glengarry—Prescott—Russell, whose question is an extremely important one. I can inform the member as well as the House that the secretariat of course will work with the provinces as well as parliamentarians to plan and support new outreach activities directed at members of the U.S. Congress.
It is completely consistent as well with the commitment made by the Prime Minister in the throne speech--bad news for the opposition but good news for Canadians, of course--that the government will begin to improve by this process federal, provincial and territorial partnerships in implementing a new and more sophisticated approach to management of Canada-U.S. issues.
Port Security
Oral Question Period
Canadian Alliance
Andy Burton Skeena, BC
Mr. Speaker, Canadian ports cannot be expected to absorb all costs related to security and customs services.
For example, the new container port facility in Prince Rupert has been told that it must pay customs-related costs when it becomes operational. How can it be competitive with existing major ports that do not pay these costs? When will the minister change this very unfair policy?
Port Security
Oral Question Period
Stoney Creek
Tony Valeri Minister of Transport
Mr. Speaker, with respect to ports I have said over and over again in the House that ports are an integral part of our transportation system. They are effective in terms of ensuring that trade comes to Canada and then is transshipped to other parts of the world, in particular the United States.
We will continue to work with our ports because we think they are economic enablers that contribute to our economy. I have said over and over again that as the Minister of Transport I will work with my stakeholders to ensure that ports are able to compete in North America and to ensure that in fact they can contribute to our economy.
Softwood Lumber
Oral Question Period
Marcel Gagnon Champlain, QC
Mr. Speaker, the NAFTA ruling gives the United States three weeks to lift countervailing and anti-dumping duties on softwood lumber from Quebec and Canada.
Can the minister assure us that the softwood lumber dispute will be resolved in full compliance with the ruling and that there will be full reimbursement of the countervailing and anti-dumping duties to the companies that paid them?

MightyPizzaOven,Thank you for the photo of the grill. i am looking into a Weber Grill that is specifically made for pizza. It has it's own round pizza stone built right in. I have seen photos of the grill on the forum, but i have yet to see any photos of the finished pizza? Also, i do not see any comments of either the positive or negative. it looks like the Weber pizza grill would be great, but i need more feedback before investing. Thanks again.TomN

Another way to use your table saw!
Instead of buying a jointer for a one-time project, Club member Conrad Skladal of Sunnyvale, California, uses this ingenious way to surface lumber with his table saw. First, completely lower the blade of the saw. Next, set the fence away from the blade at a distance of 3/4 in. minus the thickness of the blade kerf; then clamp a straight length of 3/4-in. plywood to the saw�s fence. Turn on the saw and slowly raise the blade to its full height; then turn off the saw. Remove the clamps, and carefully position featherboards and a stop block against the plywood workpiece to protect against kickback. Turn on the saw, and use a push stick to guide the plywood past the blade to complete the cut. Attach an adjustable blade guard made from clear plastic or scrap lumber to the plywood jig, and whenever you need to surface an edge, simply clamp the jig in place on the saw fence.

Country music tends to go hand-in-hand with down-home comforts like Southern fried chicken and cold beer. And, as the band Rascal Flatts knows all too well, the life of a country singer isn't always conducive to maintaining a healthy lifestyle, either. After years of late-night pizza binges on the tour bus, the award-winning country band�which consists of singers�Jay DeMarcus, Gary LeVax and Joe Don Rooney�is ready to make a change for the better. That's why they've signed on as official spokesmen for the heartburn relief brand Nexium� 24HR , an over-the-counter acid blocker.�It's a cause that's near and dear to their hearts (no pun intended)�heartburn is something that Jay, Gary, and Joe have all struggled with at some point. Currently touring the country to promote their ninth and latest album, Rewind, the guys are making a concerted effort to stay healthy on the road. We spoke with the country all-stars to learn about how they stay healthy on a hectic schedule, their favorite unhealthy indulgences, and how they manage their heartburn symptoms.

Planet Mozilla viewers – you can watch this video on YouTube.
I created this video about bookmarks for Firefox 29. It's in English and has closed captions for a few languages, including German. But you can see from this audience retention data that German speakers don't watch the video as much as English speakers.
So, with Kadir's help, I made a German version (above). You can see that this video performs much better in German speaking locales. Of course this is what we expected but it's cool to see how plainly it shows up.
Note: Rewinding and re-watching can result in values higher than 100%.

text: A Spanish open-source group filed a complaint with the European Commission against Microsoft Tuesday. Hispalinux claims Windows 8 has a feature that makes it difficult for a user to easily install alternative operating systems. Microsoft reportedly claims this mechanism is a security feature users have known about. The company stated it is "confident our approach complies with the law and helps keep customers safe." Hispalinux, an 8,000-member group of Linux users and developers, says in the 14-page complaint, The Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) Secure Boot in Windows 8 serves as "a de facto technological jail for computer booting systems... making Microsoft's Windows platform less neutral than ever." Users wishing to install another operating system must obtain keys from Microsoft to be able to do so. The net effect is anti-competitive and bad for users and the software industry, claims the group. Earlier this month, the European Commission fined Microsoft 561m euros (£484m) for failing to offer users a choice of web browser, bringing the total fines levied against it for violating EU business rules in the past decade 2.2 billion euros ($2.83 billion), according to Reuters.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: The city centre finish is magic, great to mingle with all the other runners and supporters with a coffee or a beer after a rewarding race.A real "big event" atmosphere.Date of review: May 18, 2015
In short: Great commitment from all concerned makes this a brilliant race.In full: The club organisers and marshals make this race what it is, they just do not stop. From Delia and Marco dishing out the hot pot and tea to Tom Potson announcing every runner from first to last as they ran into the stadium, they make a rather humdrum course through a housing estate, main road, farmyard and park a race to remember. The finish gantry didn't blow down and there was no delay handing out numbers :)Date of review: December 8, 2013
In short: A great race that gets better every year.In full: This is a fantastic event to take part in, Conwy and Llandudno are beautiful places and the route really shows them off well. I've done this race nearly every year since 2009 and it has got bigger and better each time.Other people have mentioned the water...it is not great tbh, shallow pots with a foil lid, just doesn't work, never has never will, at the first water station the guys were trying to puncture the lids for the runners but later on, trying to peel back a foil on a shallow pot, on the run, not ideal.The other point is the difference between committed volunteer marshalls and paid security staff...groups of two or three guys huddling together ignoring the runners isn't good. In a race I want clear directions from the marshalls, it's what I do for nothing when I am marshalling, if you're getting paid, you could make an effort. Date of review: November 24, 2013
In short: I haven't seen this many people in Eastgate Street for years.In full: Really enjoyed the finish and the atmosphere in town afterwards. I didn't mind the walk back to the racecourse for my bag, it was very pleasant and I had a massage when I got there.Great idea to fence off St Werburgh St for runners. No goody bag? Fine by me, a choice of Mars bar or Haribo and plenty of water after the finish was quite sufficient. I loved the "old" race, but it was time to move on, and it's been done very very well.Date of review: May 14, 2012
In short: The Orme!In full: The course makes this race, it's a beautiful route, even takes your mind off the long long climb of the Orme.No queues for t shirts or medals this year, big improvement. My only gripe was spectators being allowed to stand just behind the finish line, very difficult for exhausted runners. A proper finish funnel would be the next improvement, perhaps incorporating a one way system to take people leaving the race off the quayside so they aren't walking through the finishers?Date of review: November 20, 2011
In short: Last year was great, this was just brilliant!In full: A brilliantly organised experience, the facilities on the racecourse fully utilised to make it easy for everyone to have a great day. The start was pretty smooth, a mixture of good support on the course and a few quieter sections where you knew you were in a tough race. The final section along the river and into the racecourse was great, but the run in to the finish line was a real buzz. The organisers really pulled in a lot of groups and clubs to provide support, Tattenhall Runners operated the best water/motivation station I've ever seen, and you have to hand it to the MBNA staff who were helping out, facing an uncertain future they were totally professional. A lot of races fall apart after the finish, but polite pro active crew directed runners to where they needed to be so there was no wandering around or queuing for ages for a shirt or goody bag. I really didn't want to come home!Date of review: October 9, 2011
In short: You don't have to do a big-city marathon to get that winning feeling...In full: It was clear from soon after the race was announced that the organisers were serious about putting on a professional race, and they succeeded. I got the impression that they understood what runners want out of a race in terms of the whole experience and delivered it on the day. If they were to run this in April, I would have to think very hard about whether I did London or this one.Date of review: June 2, 2010
In short: Big improvement on the old 3 miles out and turn round a cone routeIn full: glorious weather, a lovely route, easy parking and good facilities. Liked the walk to and from the start.Date of review: March 7, 2010
Date of review: January 20, 2010
In short: Good enough for a first time running of the race; needs to improveIn full: If they get all the things mentioned in the other reviews right, this race could become a classic. Perhaps don't run it on remembrance Sunday next time, that couldn't have helped the congestion in the town. An earlier start might help too.Date of review: November 8, 2009

Wayne Simmonds (concussion) has been ruled out for Tuesday's contest.
John Tavares scored a power play goal Saturday in a 4-2 win over the Kings.
Jordan Eberle continues to put a slump behind him, most emphatically doing so on Saturday with a four-point output in the Edmonton Oilers' 7-3 win against the Calgary Flames.
Edmonton Oilers goalie Laurent Brossoit got his first career NHL win, and it happened against the team he drafted him, as Edmonton defeated the Calgary Flames 7-3 on Saturday.
John Gibson left Saturday's eventual 5-3 loss for the Anaheim Ducks vs. the Minnesota Wild when a puck caught him up high early in the first period.
Jonathan Bernier probably can't expect to get much benefit of the doubt after nights like Saturday, when he had a rough go of things as the Minnesota Wild beat the Anaheim Ducks 5-3.
Philipp Grubauer made 32 saves on 35 shots Saturday night to life the Capitals to a 4-3 win over the Stars.
Jean-Francois Berube gave up two goals on 36 shots Saturday night as the Islanders beat the Kings 4-2.

Top 10 Things I Want For Christmas From AircraftSpruce.comMonday, December 10th, 2012
I don't know about you, but I'm in full shopping mode for the holidays. I've been buying for my family and others in my life. My husband asked me what I wanted for Christmas, and I had to stop short, because I honestly hadn't thought about it.
But after doing some thinking, I remembered that I'm a student pilot and there are still many things I need to buy to keep up. So I decided to take a spin through the Aircraft Spruce and create my wish list in no particular order. Enjoy!
- Student pilot flight bag ($59.95 to $62.75) — right now, I'm carrying my stuff in an AOPA tote bag I got when I was hired. I like this bag because it comes in red (my favorite color) and can hold all of my stuff, including my headphones, batteries, kneeboard and charts.
- Sureflight pro checklists for Cessna ($10.95 to $14.50) — I currently use a many-times-Xeroxed copy of the checklist I'm using for my training in the Cessna Skyhawk SP. It would be nice to have this tough, laminated checklist.
- Bose A20 headset with dual GA plugs and bluetooth ($1095.00) — when I started my lessons, I used an old pair of headsets from the AOPA Pilot prize box. But I knew I wanted Bose after meeting a rep at Sun 'N Fun and testing them out. A former co-worker sold me his older Bose headsets, but I want to upgrade to this puppy.
- iPad undermount stowaway ($169.95) — I love my iPad 2 and am learning about all the great apps for pilots (check out my latest weekly app review column here). I want to take my iPad with me in the cockpit, but space is tight in the Skyhawk, so I'd love this tool that lets me have access when I need it.
- Red Canoe Cessna jacket ($87.50 to $89.99) — I saw someone wearing this jacket at Oshkosh, and I've wanted one ever since.
- Noral seat cushion with back ($69.75 to $89.95) — I'm short, and I appreciate that the Skyhawk I fly in has rudder pedal extenders. Right now, I'm using an outdoor furniture cushion to make up for my short stature, and this seat would be ideal for me to have.
- Maglite XL50 LED flashlight, red ($27.85) — Every flight bag needs a good flashlight, and I'm a big fan of Maglite, which my sister the cop recommends highly.
- Leatherman Juice C2 tool, red ($45.95) — One morning, my flight instructor had some trouble getting the cap off the oil tank, so she whipped out a version of this tool to help. I've wanted one ever since.
- I'd rather be flying license plate frame ($9.95) — I just got my personalized, aviation-themed license plate, and this frame would help further explain my love of flying.
- Aircraft Spruce gift card ($100.00) — We'll end with this, because with a $100 gift card, I could choose an assortment of items! And AOPA members can get discounts on gift cards — $5.00 off a $25 card; $10 off a $50 card; and $20 off a $100 card.

Microsoft Corp. on Tuesday also said that Bill Gates will resign as the chairman of the board, but will return to the company in a bid to help the new chief executive officer, Satya Nadella, to define the future of the software giant. Given Mr. Gates' track-record, this is an excellent news for Microsoft.
Bill Gates, previously chairman of the board of directors, will assume a new role on the board as founder and technology advisor, and will devote more time to the company, supporting Satya Nadella in shaping technology and product direction. Since both Mr. Gates and Mr. Nadella are software developers, it is highly likely that they will make certain changes to Microsoft's roadmap, which was created by Steve Ballmer. The nature of those changes is generally unknown.
John Thompson, lead independent director for the BoD, will assume the role of chairman of the board of directors and remain an independent director on the board.
Not a lot is known about Microsoft's plans in general. It is expected that for its next-generation operating system the Redmond, Washington, software giant will introduce an all-new graphics user interface suitable for different kinds of input. It is also projected that Microsoft will unify Windows RT and Windows Phone operating system for media tablets and smartphones. Some believe that towards the end of the decade Microsoft will introduce a cloud-based operating system for client computers.

You guys – I didn't say it sucked at all, just that I don't really love it or think it belongs in discussions about his best work.
When it came out, it was 97. Just past the peak of Britpop – the Beatles were big. Really the last time (it might happen again) that they've been one of the reference points for the current trend in music (even if it was ultimately all Oasis Rutleing it up and the Chemical Brothers building a whole career off Tomorrow Never Knows). So FP was a big COMEBACK album and it really works as that.
What weakens it for me is the run of albums he's done since 2001. I think – in the way he writes, the quality control and the interesting places he goes to in his writing – FP has more in common with the run of records that preceded it than it does CACITBY, MAF, EA and New. Driving Rain points towards these albums, but I don't think FP does. So FP looks a bit weak in the context of his entire post-Anthology output for me.

Speaker: Dr. Frantisek Svec
Staff Scientist and Facility Director of the Organic and Macromolecular Synthesis Facility at the Molecular Foundry User Facility at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Berkeley, CA
Title: New trends in the preparation and use of monoliths
Date/time/location: October 31 /4:30-5:30 pm / Gato Gallery
The modern monolithic columns emerged more than two decades ago. While the early polymer-based monoliths were used for the rapid separations of proteins, current literature describes a number of different applications in addition to typical chromatography demonstrating versatility of the monoliths. For example, monolithic columns prepared using hypercrosslinking possess a large surface area in numerous mesopores and enable efficient rapid separation of small molecules. New chemistries have been developed to afford monolithic columns for the separation in various modes. Modification of pore surface with nanoparticles is another recent trend that extends applications of monoliths in the arena of highly selective fishing out systems. Thin monolithic layers are also gaining more attention since they enable efficient separations of proteins combined with mass spectrometry using very simple means. Another new application is seen in the use of monolithic capillaries in the very fast gas chromatography. Monoliths also serve as supports for immobilization of enzymes to form very active enzymatic reactors.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (89 votes).
In short: Very good race & nicely organised by grassroots.In full: Slight delay at the start as many people arrived within a few minutes of the race starting. Nice two lap course that is almost as flat as you can get - bit exposed though so you have to expect a little weather. Good mix of abilities. Date of review: November 24, 2009
In short: my first 10k, was encouraged by the leadersIn full: I wouldn't call the profile flat, there were a couple of hills, particularly at the start line.Whilst being lapped by the leaders they all spoke words of encouragement and as a beginner I wasn't intimidated at all by the regulars.The parking arrangements could have been better as runner being dropped off had to wait for the stayers to park first.Although the weather at this time of year is quite challenging (mainly the strong winds) the slight drizzle and quick showers were welcoming.Was disappointed that the presentations were all over when I finished, missed it by five minutes.Date of review: November 24, 2009
In short: Not an easy race in that weatherIn full: First of all I echo the sentiment that this race would be better held in the spring, or perhaps in September when the weather is kinder as despite some deceptive inclines there is definite PB potential here.Very well organised as I would expect from Grass Roots events but there needs to be some cut off point for accepting on the day entries. I'm not sure I get these people who turn up 15 minutes before the start expecting to still be able to register.Nice touches were the raffle at the start and the announcement that there was a gentleman of 81 competing in the race - an inspiration to the rest of us.Thanks as always to the organisers and the marshals for putting on a brave face despite the conditions.Date of review: November 24, 2009
In short: Flat run, which could be fast if not for the windy conditions. Well organised and nice medal and jelly babies at the finishDate of review: November 23, 2009
In short: Enjoyable course, but challenging up-hill finishIn full: The weather made the course much tougher than it should have been i.e. every time it came to an up-hill section it was into the wind. It was well organised, with a good sense of community and the results were out quickly.Date of review: November 23, 2009
Date of review: November 23, 2009
In short: Despite the cold and windy weather (November after all !) a great turnout, well organised, thanks to all the marshalls who were very encouraging , look fwd to next year ! Date of review: November 23, 2009
In short: nice course, slight inclines, exposed to the strong wind.In full: The start was delayed due to stragglers either registering late or turning up late. The problem was that they had to walk directly towards the start where we were all waiting so we'd have trampled all over them if they'd let us go. The road was open to traffic so we all had to squeeze on to one side of the road to let cars through. The course was very good and scenic in places but exposed to a strong wind for the most part. There a few small inclines particularly in the last K in to a head wind which deprived me of a sub 45 minute (that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it) but all in all it was a very good experience. A couple of nice touches were the raffle for a pair of trainers at the start and the fact the organisers had a member of their club bringing up the rear with the last runner. Pleanty of stewards and 2 goes at the drinks station after 5k and 9k. Plenty of jelly babies on offer and a very nice medal to round things off. I'll certainly go back again.Date of review: November 23, 2009
In short: Flat'ish 10K raceIn full: Thanks to all the marshalls/organisers for braving the cold weather for this race, at least the rain stayed away during race. It was windy in some areas of course but also had the wind behind in some areas. Flat course with 3 slight inclines.It could be a very fast course if done in April/May time for the good weather.Date of review: November 23, 2009

Patriot Memory on Thursday unveiled its new memory modules rated to run at 2250MHz that can be overclocked further to 2400MHz. Just like competing offerings, Patriot Viper II Sector 5 memory modules are intended for work in dual-channel mode, hence, extreme performance enthusiasts with triple-channel memory sub-system will not be able to enjoy unbelievable clock-speeds.
The hand-tested Patriot Viper II Sector 5 memory modules can operate at 2.25GHz clock-speed with CL9 9-9-27 latency settings. The manufacturer did not specify voltage settings needed to achieve such extreme speeds, but they are more than likely to be higher compared to default DDR3 voltages. Although 2.25GHz is respectable clock-speed, Corsair recently launched 2.33GHz/2.40GHz memory modules for enthusiasts, who demand absolutely the best. According to Patriot, the Viper II Sector 5 can also hit 2.40GHz frequency.
"Our goal is to provide the hardcore enthusiast with a performance module that is actually going to perform at the specified timing with stability. Consumers can feel confident that what we advertise for our speeds and timing is true to the specifications. Additionally, users can expect headroom to reach faster speeds. We have been able to hit speeds over 2400MHz with these modules in our lab," said Les Henry, Patriot's vice president of engineering.
Patriot Viper II Sector 5 memory modules are designed for LGA1156 platforms powered by Intel P55 core-logic and will be available in 4GB (2x 2GB) dual-channel kits. Patriot did not specify recommended pricing for a set of extreme memory modules.

Stunning Casual Updo
Imagination is a bounty and Frank Provost proves it through this dreamy hairstyle that butters up honey with traces of luminous blonde hair. Gathered and pulled back loosely, the long hair is pinned and tied in medium pieces to come up with a complex or yet serene look. The stiff layers of fringe are brushed to the side as an introduction to the lovely mess beneath.

Voters should take back constitutional right
As Yoopers and other Michiganians circulate petitions to repeal Michigan Public Act 21, it's evident that clarification is needed on a few issues.
If voters fail to reject PA21 of 2013, the right to referendum on wildlife management issues is gone forever. Remember 2006? Voters in every county of Michigan rejected a hunting season on mourning doves. PA21 allows the Natural Resource Commission to designate any species as game and then establish a hunting season for it. PA 21 silences the voice of the people. Some argue that the NRC, appointed by the governor, knows best. Only one member of the NRC has a natural resources background. Don't think for a moment the NRC isn't politically influenced.
Attention, birders! PA 21 applies to species not already on the "game species" list, except the mourning dove and federally-protected species. The sandhill crane, for example, could be next. In Minnesota, the sandhill crane was named a game species; their fourth annual hunt begins this fall. View photos online of Minnesota hunters posing with their "harvested" sandhill cranes. As for Michigan, hundreds of sandhill cranes are already killed annually via crop damage permits. It is my understanding that sportsmen's forums are already abuzz in hopes of hunting them. If PA 21 stays, and the sandhill crane is named a game species, voters' hands will be tied. We could voice objections to our legislators, governor, and NRC, but would they listen?
Michigan's Wolf Management Plan, in effect since January 2012, already allows for liberal management of wolves. Wolf hunt or no wolf hunt, current management actions will continue. Under Michigan's wolf management plan, it's permissible to kill wolves responsible for depredation as indicated:
Landowner permits: landowners can be issued as many as five permits and name their own "agents," who can shoot any wolf on their property.
"In the act" of attacking livestock or dogs, by landowners without a permit.
Though wolves pose little threat to humans, it's always been legal to shoot a wolf threatening human life.
The constitutional right Michigan voters had, from 1908 to May 2013, to voter referendum on wildlife management issues, is gone. We have this one opportunity to get it back. Through the signature-gathering effort, spearheaded by Keep Michigan Wolves Protected, we aim to reject PA21 and restore our right to protect not only wolves, but other species.
