Microprocessors by Intel Corp. power over 80% of personal computers; chips based on micro-architecture developed by ARM are utilized in 95% of mobile phones. ARM claims that while Intel's business model works in the PC space, it will never work on the handset market. As a result, vendors of ARM-based chips will leave Intel behind in all the markets, according to a co-founder of ARM.
"The reason why ARM is going to kill the microprocessor is not because Intel will not eventually produce an Atom that might be as good as an ARM, but because Intel has the wrong business model. People in the mobile phone architecture do not buy microprocessors. So if you sell microprocessors you have the wrong model. They license them. So it's not Intel vs. ARM, it is Intel vs. every single semiconductor company in the world," said Hermann Hauser, a co-founder of ARM, in an interview with the Wall Street Journal.
The claim of Mr. Hauser is strange to say at least. It costs billions to develop a modern microprocessor for a high-performance desktop or server processor and even though ARM chips are more energy efficient than Intel's x86 microprocessors, they cannot achieve similar levels of performance and reliability. In fact, ARM still does not have a 64-bit microprocessor akin to AMD Opteron or Intel Xeon, not talking about anything like enterprise-class Xeon MP or Itanium central processing units (CPUs).
Historically, Intel and its arch-rival Advanced Micro Devices did not compete against ARM-based designs. In fact, both companies either dropped development of their own Geode- or Xscale-branded designs featuring ARM architecture or sold appropriate business divisions to others in the middle of the last decade and proclaimed "x86 everywhere" strategy. Nowadays the market of personal computers is growing slowly and x86 vendors naturally turn their attention onto the segment of mobile devices, such as advanced smartphones and tablets, the ground of ARM. On the other hand, ARM is looking at personal computers and servers as potential ways to expand its market share. The interesting thing is that Intel Atom chips do power tablets, whereas ARM does not power desktops or servers.
"If you look at the history of computing there was mainframe, which was dominated by IBM, then came the mini computer dominated by DEC, then came the third wave with workstations dominated by Sun and Apollo, then the PC, and now it's the mobile architecture that is going to be the main computing platform at least on the terminal side. There is no case in the history of computing where a company that has dominated one wave has dominated the next wave and there is no case where a new wave did not kill the previous wave - as in obliterate them... The people that dominate the PC market are Intel and Microsoft," said Mr. Hauser.
The co-founder of ARM implies that with the advances of tablet PC and supporting operating systems, such as Google Android, the dominance of Intel and Microsoft will decrease. The problem, however, is that it is Intel Atom, who is fighting its way to tablets and eventually smartphones, and not ARM-based chips insider servers or desktops.
"We're not sure why the ARM folks have become so vocal lately as everyone agrees that billions of devices are coming online, and there's room for many to be successful. We'll just have to see how things play out," an Intel official is reported to have said.

PRINCESS ANNE, MD- (Oct. 14, 2011) Gary Imhoff, a UMES senior program and budget officer, recently presented a lecture on campus to give an overview of the development strategy to re-building the nationhood of Sudan. Imhoff spent five months in Sudan as a consultant supporting the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) programs carrying out its mission of worldwide humanitarian and development assistance for countries.
Imhoff informed his audience of USAID's main focuses in Sudan, which are to improve education, health and the economy. Promoting cohesion and sharing a sense of community and identity are important as well, he said.
Efforts to unify the Sudanese people are difficult, Imhoff said, because there are 110 tribes, which divides the country. "For 20-plus years, the south has been fighting the north," he said.
Imhoff told his audience the typical classroom does not have walls. Only 20 percent of Sudan's classrooms are indoors; typically "one out of five students" are educated or learning under a tree. Roughly 27 percent can read and write. Nonetheless, the Sudanese are very intelligent people he said.
With the intention of focusing on youth and education, Imhoff said "AID has established a scholarship fund to allow highly motivated and young Sudanese kids to go to college in Africa, focusing on Kenya, Tanzania and countries with reputable and educational opportunities." In addition to the scholarship fund, the federal agency is focusing on university linkages with U.S institutions to share information – teacher training; to bring in more female teachers, policy development and curriculum.
In response to the lack of the health systems in Sudan, USAID has financed 110 clinics to help the growing number of patients infected with HIV/AIDS and malaria. The agency also has focused on training medical staff in how to talk to patients who enter the clinic as well as dispersing information to patients coming into the clinic.
"We need to remember that this is a long term process; a generational process. It will take years before we see a change" Imhoff said.

8 Hot Industries for Start-Ups in 2013
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Ever considered starting a business to sell shoes online? A recent IBISWorld report pits the industry as one of eight excellent opportunities for startups.
The business of online shoe sales might seem a bit random, but consider the success of Zappos, for instance.
In fact Amazon's (AMZN) online shoe retailer fits perfectly into the IBISWorld report's thesis.
"Fragmented industries with a low level of capital intensity often present excellent opportunities for startups," analysts Kevin Boyland and Eben Jose write in the February report. "During the past decade, the key trend creating the majority of these opportunities has been the shift toward providing services online."
>>>Under-the-Radar Hot Industries For Small Business Profits
>>>8 Ways to Boost Your eBay and Online Sales
Start-up prospects are most prevalent in the retail and service industries, with e-commerce presenting the biggest opportunity, particularly with the likes of Amazon, eBay (EBAY) and Etsy or platforms like Shopify taking away the challenges presented by technology for entrepreneurs.
Nowadays, a small online business can sell its wares through one of these portals, which eliminates the hassle, time and resources needed to create an online store.
"All of these factors have made starting an online business easier than ever," the report says.
To be competitive, though, start-ups will have to "keep pace with the high level of technological change that has transformed their respective industries. Additionally, access to capital via investments or loans will play a critical role in determining the speed at which firms can grow the scale and scope of their operations," the analysts caution.
Given their low barriers to entry, high level of technological change and strong revenue growth expectations, there are eight industries that present prime opportunities for startups in 2013, according to IBISWorld.
>>>5 Best Franchise Opportunities for 2013
>>>7 Biggest Small-Business Trends in 2013
1. Social Gaming
The social gaming industry has exploded at an average annual rate of 184% during the past five years, driven by surging Internet traffic and the widespread prominence of social networks, particularly Facebook (FB) , the analysts write.
As mobile devices proliferate, consumers have increasingly been able to access their social networks anywhere, at any time.
Revenue is expected to grow 31.9% to $6 billion in 2013.
"Rising demand for social network-based games creates opportunities for potential industry entrants. Additionally, widely available industry associations like the Entertainment Software Association can help new entrants by providing market research to develop more highly in-demand products," the report notes.
2. Online Shoe Sales
Online shoe sales have benefited from consumers flocking to the Web to purchase goods and services online. Shoe sales online alone are expected to grow at a "robust" 16.2% five-year annualized rate to $8.9 billion through 2013. The report cites a survey by Nielsen indicating that clothing, accessories and shoes are the second-largest category of items behind books that consumers purchase online.

As one of the earliest and largest adopters of Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) in North America—with more than nine million electric and gas SmartMeters™ deployed across its 70,000-square-mile service area—Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) is now leveraging this technology platform prudently and methodically to build the next-generation Smart Grid to meet the needs of our electric customers in the 21st century.
In its June 2011 Smart Grid Deployment Plan, PG&E stated that its vision for the Smart Grid was "to provide customers safe, reliable, secure, cost-effective, sustainable and flexible energy services through the integration of advanced communications and control technologies to transform the operations of our electric network, from generation to the customer's premise." PG&E customers will see many benefits from the Smart Grid in the coming years. Some of these benefits include, the ability to lower energy bills by controlling energy use, the availability of pricing signals which will help customers save money by shifting their energy use to times of the day when energy prices are lower, and increased reliability of service, including faster outage detection and restoration, as well as greater convenience from faster response to service requests.

Rated 5 out of 5�by ScarletSays My 11 year old loves these shoes! A fantastic cleat. Very comfortable. My son wore them immediately for a game and had no issues with 'new shoes'. He even said that he was able to run faster. Plenty of room in the toe box! This has been an issue when shopping for any type of footwear. A lot of shoes slant down sharply to the toe box area causing cramped toes. Definitely worth the price! I think we've found our brand! June 17, 2014

Benoît Sauvageau Repentigny, QC
Madam Speaker, it is also my pleasure to rise in debate on Bill C-24 about which, if I am not mistaken, we are considering the second set of amendments. I also want to say right off that it seems absolutely normal, legitimate and desirable to me that this legislation be reviewed following the general election.
Why review the operation of an act after a trial period? Simply to determine whether the original objectives have been met, whether the act could be improved on and whether the desired objectives could be better met.
When it was put forward and debated in committee initially—it was later debated on numerous occasions in the media and the public—the idea was simply to democratize the party financing process as well as to correct a perception, often borne out in fact, about mismanagement or dishonesty in the dealings between donors and political parties concerning financing in general.
All too often, rightly or wrongly, the public has come to realize that those who initiate bills or private member's bills may unfortunately have done so, after being the object—I almost said the victim— of corporate donations of $5,000, $10,000, $50,000 or $200,000.
There have been many instances, in recent parliaments, of questionable situations. The bank merger bill comes to mind.
The government party introduced a bill respecting bank mergers. When we look at the current situation, we see that major Canadian banks are contributing $100,000, $200,000 and even $300,000 to the Liberal Party coffers. Our fellow citizens witnessing this situation are telling themselves that decisions are certainly made on the basis of these donations by large corporations.
What is true of banking institutions is also true of pharmaceuticals, steel, and industry in general, which makes generous donations to the Liberal Party. One can definitely wonder.
I am not suggesting nor stating that political decisions are always influenced by such donations from large companies or big corporations. I am saying that it is normal, up to a certain point, for the general public watching us to believe that these decisions may be influenced by such large sums of money given to the Liberal Party.
Bill C-24 attempts to correct this negative public perception of politics and the relationship between large companies and the political world.
But, more importantly, there are the recent scandals—and, after much thought, I am using the word scandal correctly—involving, for example, the sponsorship companies. The government gave untendered contracts to Groupaction, Everest and Lafleur Communications. New details are being uncovered every day. The longer the House sits, the more question periods there are, and the more scandals that will be discovered. It seems clear. This is happening more and more. Contracts of $500,000, $200,000 and $300,000 are being awarded to companies who are told, "Look, you have to remit 5%, 10% or 15%, depending on the size of the contract, to the Liberal Party's coffers".
Perhaps, in terms of the first example, people may think that there is some wrongdoing going on among the large companies, the big corporations and the government. But when consulting firms, public relations companies and friends of the government take with one hand, deduct a certain amount and give with the other to the party in power, it seems essential, then, to rectify this type of political party financing. If we are to some small extent a banana republic, we must avoid any further transformation into a system that would be financed the way political parties were financed long ago or during the Middle Ages. Unfortunately, this is still the case today in some countries that have a bad international reputation for the way they finance their election campaigns and their political parties.
This government has reached the bottom of the barrel with the schemes whereby companies give back part of their money to the government. In order to improve the situation before it went too far, the Prime Minister used what works well as inspiration. It is not perfect, there are no perfect, marvellous or paradisiac political systems, otherwise, everyone would adopt them.
In Quebec, what helped, to some degree, the reputation of political parties or politicians in general, was what is known as the René Lévesque act, which was passed in 1976-77. This was one of the first policies implemented after the election, in order to democratize the funding of political parties. Under the legislation, it is the eligible voters who fund political parties.
This form of funding for political parties has been around in Quebec for more than 20 years, for almost 30 years now, and there is no way that anyone would question it or backtrack on it.
Yes, we want to improve certain aspects of this legislation in Quebec that has been in place since then. Yes, we want to improve certain problems, but that does not mean that we question the fundamental principle of Quebec's democratic life being funded by contributions from individual citizens.
That is what Canada wants to do now; it is seen as a good thing, and it is a good thing. Some people, like members of the Canadian Alliance, have said, "We do not want citizens, through the government, to fund election campaigns or political parties". It seems to me that it would be much simpler for democracy if funding came from citizens instead of from the Royal Bank of Canada, the National Bank, or big P.R. companies like National, that take money from the government and then give it back to the government. If that is a healthy democracy, if that is the modern way of giving political parties the tools and the elements they need to work, then we have not made any of the progress toward the 21st century that we should be able to expect.
In this end of session, after discussions in committee, the government has introduced a bill that is essential to follow up on events and to change the relationship between people and politicians, between business and politicians, this triumvirate in which we live.
If we look at the popularity ratings of the members of this House, we see that a considerable change is required to the way we operate, particularly the way we campaign.
When I sat in on some of the committee meetings on this bill, I heard Liberal MPs saying, "Yes, but now we will have trouble organizing $5,000-a-plate dinners with the PM as guest speaker". Exactly. We will organize suppers for larger numbers of ordinary folks and will invite them to come to hear the party leaders speak. It seems to me perfectly normal for the Prime Minister or the party leaders, when they travel to major cities, not to just see the people who are able to afford to pay $1,000, $5,000 or $10,000 for the opportunity of meeting them. They should meet others equally entitled to vote.
This is the intent of the bill we have before us today, and is why it indicates to us that we absolutely must look to the future.
Why a review after the election? As I have said, it needs to be revisited in order to make the necessary corrections. There has not been enough of this review process when it comes to other pieces of legislation, for instance the Official Languages Act, which have been in place for nearly 20 years and are absolutely not meeting their intended objectives.
This bill, and the others we will be considering, ought to be automatically subject to this review process, in order to improve them and achieve the objectives set when the discussions prior to their enactment were held.
Canada Elections Act
Government Orders
1:55 p.m.
Peter Adams Peterborough, ON
Madam Speaker, I am pleased to join this debate today.
I would like to begin by thanking the members of the committee, members from all sides of the House and the staff of the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs for their extraordinary work on this legislation. Like any other important piece of legislation, this bill has created a certain amount of controversy and a great deal of discussion.
The committee heard from almost 40 witnesses from across the country. We contacted at least another 40, perhaps 50, some of whom sent us written testimony and some who felt that their testimony, although we were interested in it, would not add to the discussion the committee had so far. That gives the House an idea of how closely these people had been following this important legislation.
It seems to me that the purpose of these changes to the Canada Elections Act, which, in principle, eliminate corporate and union donations and puts something in the place of those donations, have various purposes. One of them, which is very important to everybody here, is to increase confidence in the electoral system.
I think there is a perception, and I believe that it is almost entirely a perception, that large corporations and large unions unduly influence the system and influence members of Parliament operating in their ridings or here in the House of Commons. I think the bill would help take away that particular stigma.
However I think the bill would also increase confidence in the system and increase participation in the electoral system in some other ways.
With regard to participation, I think all members know that there has been a decline, not a large decline, but a significant decline in participation of voters in recent federal elections. That is almost entirely explained by a reduction in the number of people under the age of 30 participating. The age groups over the age of 30 are participating more or less as they always have, but younger people are not. I think that is a particularly unhealthy sign.
It is my hope that the legislation would encourage confidence and interest in those people. I will try to explain why. Sometimes in an election people come up to me and say that they simply cannot vote for me this time. They say that they do not believe it is worth their while voting for one of the other parties, so they will not be voting at all. Those people drop out of the system.
When I am faced with that kind of situation I always try to encourage them, first, to vote for a candidate who is in the race, but failing that I encourage them to go to the poll and to officially refuse their ballot. I explain to them that if they do that the numbers are recorded and at least someone knows that they went to the poll and refused the ballot, presumably because there was nobody for whom they could vote. If someone does not show up at the polls it is difficult to tell whether they were just sick or just disinterested. Only if they go to the polls and are recorded do we know if they have participated in the electoral process.
When I am faced with that situation in the future I will be able to say to voters that if they vote for one of the minor parties--with due respect, I am not using that in a pejorative sense--one of the smaller parties in the election, even though they will only get a handful of votes they will truly be helping them because in the future, between now and the next election, they will get a small amount of money for every vote that they receive across Canada. These would be parties like the Green Party, which appeared before our committee.
All 13 registered federal parties were invited to appear before the committee, parties like the Communist Party of Canada (Marxist-Leninist). Those parties, if they run a candidate, wherever they get a vote they will receive some support between elections.
Although I disagree with some of those parties, I strongly agree with the idea that a parliamentary system should generate new parties and there should be different parties in play out there. I believe the legislation would assist with that.

John Harvard Charleswood—St. James—Assiniboia, MB
Madam Speaker, I am very pleased to announce today that one of my constituents, Karen Bees, has been chosen to receive a millennium excellence award from the Canada Millennium Scholarship Foundation.
The foundation was established to help Canadians meet the challenges of a rapidly changing economy and society by creating opportunities for them to pursue their post-secondary education.
Karen was selected as one of 37 Manitobans to receive this award based on a national competition for her academic performance, community service, leadership and interest in innovation. Karen, along with Kyla Pederson, Jennifer Pommer and Melissa Therrien, was also a recipient of my own Member of Parliament Canadian Student Award.
These students are dedicated and hard-working young people who give selflessly to their school and community, all the while maintaining high academic achievement.
On behalf of everyone in the House, I would like to congratulate Karen, Kyla, Jennifer and Melissa on their outstanding achievements and wish them all the best in the future.

Canadian Alliance
Scott Reid Lanark—Carleton, ON
Madam Speaker, the trade restrictions imposed on May 20 on all ruminants as a result of BSE are affecting farms and farm support workers across Canada. The beef and cattle industries continue to lose $11 million daily. Sheep and goat farmers are also being affected by the trade ban.
Last week I met with beef farmers on one of the many cattle farms in my riding and I have also received representations from the sheep farmers of eastern Ontario. They are hurting.
Tragically, the concerns of rural Canada do not even enter the Liberal radar screen.
While all this is going on, the internal strife within the Liberal Party remains the only issue about which the government actually cares. While not a nickel goes toward mitigating the crisis in rural Canada, the Liberals are suspending the rules of Parliament in order to ensure immediate passage of a law that will give the party a $9.1 million taxpayer funded gift on January 1 to make up for the fundraising shortfall caused by its leadership race.
Beef farmers and sheep farmers across the country deserve a higher spot on the government agenda than the internal concerns of the Liberal Party of Canada.
Millennium Excellence Award
Statements By Members

John Finlay Oxford, ON
Madam Speaker, the Government of Canada created the Canada Millennium Scholarship Foundation in 1998 to assist Canadians in pursuing their post-secondary education goals. Each year through its bursary program, the foundation awards over 90,000 bursaries to Canadian students based on financial need.
Also, through its excellence award program, the foundation recognizes academic achievement, community service and interest in innovation with grants to hundreds of Canada's top students each year.
Again this year, it is my sincere pleasure to name two students from Oxford who will receive millennium excellence awards. I want to congratulate Jaclyn Rodenburg of College Avenue Secondary School and Kaitland Gray of Woodstock Collegiate Institute.
While the cost of post-secondary education is great, so too are the rewards. I am proud that through the excellence award program the federal government is helping Canada's top students reach those goals. I send my best wishes to Jaclyn and Kaitland.

Massimo Pacetti Saint-Léonard—Saint-Michel, QC
Madam Speaker, it is a pleasure to rise today to congratulate a proud and successful Canadian company on the occasion of its 15th anniversary.
P.J. Impex of Montreal opened its doors in June of 1998 to begin serving clients in the food supply industry. Since that time, the company has enjoyed steady growth, rising to a position of leadership among Canada's food exporters. Today, with a multilingual and multicultural staff, along with a network of reputable suppliers, that leadership role is played out on the world stage. The company's reputation for making the safest and best quality food on the market available to clients in over 35 countries is testament to its international success. In short, millions of customers around the globe have come to rely on P.J. Impex's bond of quality assurance.
In closing, it should be said that it is thriving companies like this one that form the backbone of our economy and represent Canada proudly around the world. May this 15th anniversary be just one of many important milestones for P.J. Impex as it continues in its role as the strongest link in the international food supply chain.
National Maritime Day

Paul MacKlin Northumberland, ON
Madam Speaker, I rise today to bring to the attention of hon. members, National Maritime Day, which has been proclaimed for September 3 in the city of Belleville. On behalf of the hon. member for Prince Edward—Hastings, I am pleased to bring this issue to the attention of the House.
The resolution of the city of Belleville reads, "In peace and in conflict, ships and seafarers have held a special place in our nation's history".
This resolution goes on to speak of the historic importance of seafaring in the history of both the European settlers of our region and country and the aboriginal peoples before them.
I ask all hon. members to join me in paying tribute to the countless Canadians who have a close attachment to our seafaring past and present and congratulating the city of Belleville on commemorating these historic roots.

Mr. Speaker, the Atlantic Institute for Market Studies has been awarded the Sir Antony Fisher International Memorial Award by the American Atlas Economic Research Foundation, an international honour for excellence in public policy work.
AIMS has won this prestigious award four times in just eight years, an impressive record of achievement.
AIMS was presented the award for its innovative project on Canadian health care reform. The study is a comprehensive proposal for reforming the Canadian health care system.
The report was written by: Dr. Brian Lee Crowley, the founding president of AIMS; Professor Brian Ferguson, University of Guelph; Dr. David Zitner, Dalhousie Medical School; and Brett Skinner, University of Western Ontario.
The Atlantic Institute for Market Studies deserves credit for its internationally recognized contribution to a more informed debate on health care for the 21st century.

Nancy Karetak-Lindell Nunavut, NU
Mr. Speaker, 20 Nunavut youth accepted into the Nunavut Youth Abroad Program will gather in Ottawa for orientation before travelling to their placements, which stretch from Calgary to Halifax as well as Botswana, Africa.
These young Nunavummiut range in age from 16 to 21 and come from 15 communities across Nunavut.
The Nunavut Youth Abroad Program is in its sixth year and is a very successful pre-employment program providing education through work and travel to the participants.
I would like to congratulate and thank all the volunteer board members, the mentors who guide the students through the program, as well as the very important funders and supporters.
I wish all the participants a wonderful summer of learning, broadening their horizon and having fun.

Benoît Sauvageau Repentigny, QC
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to bring to this House's attention, and particularly to the Prime Minister's attention, a project by the grade 6 students of École Jean XXIII in Repentigny.
At the instigation of their teacher, Évelyne Parent, and student teacher, Janie Lacombe, the pupils designed a comic book about peace and the effects of war on civilian populations.
Looking at this little masterpiece created by these young people, we can see their talent and their awareness of others, and appreciate how they have expressed their compassion for women and children, the innocent victims of armed conflict.
As the member for Repentigny, I thank Évelyne and Janie for their commitment and I congratulate Group 601 for their wonderful work in making others aware.
Millennium Excellence Award

Paddy Torsney Burlington, ON
Mr. Speaker, each year the Canada Millennium Scholarship Foundation provides over 900 scholarships to outstanding students across Canada.
This year Burlington students Brenna Dickison, Jayde Duncombe, Shirine Usmani, Amir Ali and Andrea Gulyas won millennium excellence awards. These bright young Canadians are among the most promising of our students entering post-secondary institutions this fall.
Since its creation in 1998, the Canada Millennium Scholarship Foundation has recognized the achievements of Canada's top students, awarding some 3,600 millennium excellence awards. While these awards help these outstanding young people pursue their post-secondary education, at the same time the foundation is helping to ensure a bright future for Canada and Canadians.
I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating all the recipients of this scholarship across Canada and especially Brenna, Jayde, Shirine, Amir, and Andrea from Burlington.
Way to go. Bonne chance les étudiantes.

Canadian Alliance
Betty Hinton Kamloops, Thompson And Highland Valleys, BC
Mr. Speaker, on June 7 I once again participated in the Relay for Life with teams of people who want to help beat cancer.
The Highland Valley Hoffers team, of which I am a proud member, raised nearly $18,000. I want to thank my colleagues in the Canadian Alliance caucus for contributing 1,000 of those dollars. In total, the relay teams raised an impressive $135,000.
This event would not be possible without the hundreds of volunteers who organize the event and the generous sponsorship of the Kamloops business community.
Personally, I walk in memory of my sister Doreen Buss and my girlfriend Laurie Benteau who lost their battle with cancer. I walk also for Ron Shindell, a neighbour I love, who will win his battle and join my colleague from Saskatoon--Rosetown--Biggar as a survivor.
Cancer can be beaten, and the people of Kamloops, Thompson and Highland Valleys will lead the way.

The Excellence Awards identify, support and encourage young men and women who stand out in terms of their academic achievement, leadership, and community involvement.
The Canada Millennium Scholarship Foundation was created by an act of Parliament and, through it, all Canadians invest in the future leaders of our country and express their confidence in them.
These young women are undoubtedly among the most promising in the school system. My hearty congratulations to the winners in my riding; I wish them great success in their studies.

Progressive Conservative
Norman E. Doyle St. John's East, NL
Mr. Speaker, Canada was a world leader in the fight for the 200 mile limit, but the 200 mile limit by itself has not been enough to stop the rapid decline in world fisheries resources. The recent cod fishery closure in eastern Canada, with all of its social and economic hardship, is the most recent example.
The current international fisheries conservation regime is long on promises but short on action. Something needs to be done. It is time for Canada to again take a leading role in developing a more comprehensive and enforceable fisheries conservation program on the international scene.
A nation is known not by the challenges it encounters but by the challenges it has the courage to take up. A hungry world is crying out for leadership on fisheries conservation while there are still some fish left. It is time for Canada to take up the challenge and answer the call.
Maison Grandi Ose
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Marcel Gagnon Champlain, QC
Mr. Speaker, today, I am pleased to draw the attention of the House to the contribution of a organization in my riding to the community.
The Maison Grandi Ose in greater Trois-Rivières, Cap-de-la-Madeleine sector, is a leader in providing assistance to families of handicapped children. In addition to providing a recreation centre to handicapped children and their families, this organization offers respite to families who need a break.
This charitable organization par excellence—and it is very community-minded—is the first of its kind in Quebec and Canada.
I want to pay tribute to Dorothée Leblanc and all her associates who give the word dedication its true meaning. Thanks to Ms. Leblanc and her generous team for the love they provide to those in need.
At a time when all we hear about is bad news and war, Ms. Leblanc is a breath of fresh air, and she makes the world a better place. I wish her and the Maison Grandi Ose all the best.

This airport scenery comes with highly detailed models of all airport buildings . High resolution textures ensure an excellent 3D replication of this Mega Airport. Even surrounding buildings such as shopping facilities and the sewage works have been included. The airport also comes with AESLite and moving subway trains which service the terminal to create this very lively atmosphere which is typical for such a large airport. Another highlight is the implementation of 3D bridges which allow the aircraft to cross roads and train tracks.

For more information and how you can assist:www.state.gov/haitiquakeAbout the Author: Jane Daly serves as a Program Officer in the Office of Public Liaison.
At Miami Dade College's North Campus on the afternoon of Monday, March 29, neither high winds nor torrential rain prevented locally-based members of the Haitian Diaspora from engaging with State Department officials on the U.S. government's response to the January earthquake disaster.
Members of the Haitian Diaspora based in several cities on the U.S. East Coast engaged in discussion with State Department officials in Washington, DC by means of a digital video conference. Locally elected officials in Boston, New York, and Miami partnered with the Department of State's Bureau of Public Affairs and the Haitian Diaspora Working Group in reaching out to members of the Haitian Diaspora in their communities. In Miami, U.S. Representative Kendrick B. Meek's office (FL-17) organized the local community's involvement. In New York, U.S. Representative Yvette Clarke (NY-11) and City Councilman Jumaane Williams (45th District) participated in the briefing and arranged for community members to participate. In Boston, locally elected officials and representatives of Mayor Thomas M. Menino's office participated.
Participants heard comments from Assistant Secretary for Western Hemisphere Affairs, Arturo Valenzuela, who provided a status update on the U.S. government's response to the disaster. In addition, officials from the Bureau of Consular Affairs and the U.S. Agency for International Development engaged Diaspora members in discussion on topics ranging from temporary housing, visa issues, and temporary protected status, to reconstruction efforts. The conversation reflects the State Department's ongoing interest in engaging Diaspora members on meaningful ways to involve them in Haiti's reconstruction and development efforts. The entire conversation was streamed live online and can be heard here.
Haendel in New York writes:
"What seems apparent from my experience in Haiti is that those coordinating the relief response are detached from the situation. You can't fully understand what Haitians are going through by sitting in an air conditioned office or hotel. You can't experience life on the streets by driving through them instead of walking on them. And you really can't help people if you don't meet with them, talk with them, listen to them. That is perhaps the greatest obstacle in Haiti right now. Those people who know and understand the country, the people and their needs, are not sufficiently involved in the decision-making process".
Niki in Florida writes:
Getting the diaspora involved in rebuilding? Very funny. Already the big businesses of the U.S. are in Haiti and have taken over such as Ashbritt from Pompano Beach, Florida, Bergeron from Ft Lauderdale, Florida, DRC from Alabama and many more. Haitian Diaspora-owned businesses will never be able to compete with these giants through the bidding process the international commission Clinton/Bellerive and the U.S. State Dept. want to establish.

I had a code for 26% off a Tealux order and it was just too good an offer to pass up.
Then I was cleaning and found my Yunomi monthly package from last month. I've been looking for it for a while and it turned out to be in my documents drawer. Well I blended my own GenMaicha with the kit and fell in love with it. I purchased enough to make 550g of the mix for a bargain price thanks to the 20% off club membership code.
NaturaliTea #11: Organic Autumn Bancha Tea (#TEA-NLT-BA001-200gx1)
Net weight per item: 200 grams (7.05 oz),
Quantity: 1 unit 1 $10.00
Obubu Tea #17: Genmai by Obubu (#TEA-OBT-GE002-100gx1)
Net weight per item: 100 grams (3.52 oz),

Takeo – Autumn Houjicha (#TEA-TKO-009-150g)
1 $9.50
Cart Subtotal: $33.10
Cart Discount: -$6.62
Shipping: $10.00 via Economy Airmail (2-4 Weeks, Tracking & Insurance Sold Separately)
Order Total: $36.48
I worked out that 5g is enough for a pot of tea for myself of the GenMaicha blend. So I could make 110 pots of tea with what I purchased for the sum of $36.48 which is roughly £23.50. That is roughly only 25p per pot of tea. That was too good and tasty an offer to ignore too.
Lots of tea to come my way, I need to make room.
So I broke my hiatus and ordered 2 of the reviewer's special Caramel Matchacinno's from Red Leaf today. Mostly because I wasn't sure how much longer it was going to be valid and I didn't want to miss it.
….So can I just store one unopened bag in the fridge until I'm ready to drink it and it'll keep longer? Or the freezer? Or can I just store it in a cabinet? I'm not sure how to store unopened matcha….or opened matcha for that matter actually. >>; Everywhere I read about it says something different.
So does anyone know how long is usually takes Red Leaf to ship an order out? I'm still waiting on this one. It currently just says 'processed' in the order info.
My last order took under a week to arrive, but I'm sure the free MATACHAccino promotion is probably slowing things down. I know it got posted to Reddit and Slickdeals so I'm sure Robert is busy trying to fill all of the orders that came it at the same time. You can always drop him an email, he's really good about responding back quickly.
Last month I had asked him how to store my unopened packages and here is what he had to say:
You can store Matchaccino in cool and dark place. Please try to keep the bag sealed to preserve freshness. Unopened they will be good for up to one year.
Since it's payday I had to order some stuff from 52teas

I haven't bought anything in a month, and I ended up with unexpected money, so I figured I was allowed $50 at DAVIDsTEA! This is what I ended up with:
-25g Salted Caramel
-25g Mango Lassi
-50g North African Mint (it's good, and I expect it'll be handy if I get sick)
-50g Gingerbread Rooibos
-30g White Chocolate Frost
-30g Spiced Fig
-50g Ceylon Star
-20g Currant Affair
-25g Coffee Cake
-15g Choconut Oolong
Total: $49.48 (saved $1 from reusing 2 tins)
I couldn't resist but I had to order from DAVIDsTEA.
The choconut oolong was calling my name. Along with a black tin and secret santa in the stackable tin. I really want one of the holiday perfect mugs but the one I want isn't available yet:/
Me – I'm running out of my Medium Roast Dong Ding Oolong, I only have enough for a few more pots.
My husband – I can buy you some for Christmas if you like.
Me – I'm not going to argue with that…oohh look they have a few things in the clearance sale too (wink wink)
My husband – Buy whatever you want, here's my card
I think it's safe to say that I didn't go crazy but it's a nice size order for an already over flowing tea cupboard.
1x Medium Roast Dong Ding Oolong, Special Reserve – 2 oz for $9.00 each
1x High Elevation Green Tea – 2.8oz – 2.8 oz for $5.00 each

My wallet is groaning but my cupboard is ecstatically happy! Still considering picking up a few things from DT and Lupicia, and maybe Tea Chai Té. Have also heard that Porte Rouge is getting in the Heritage Gourmand collection from Mariage Freres so I may be tempted in that direction. Oof.
Argh, I couldn't help it! Lupicia sent an email a few days ago with some limited Hawaiian blends, and I really wanted a couple of them. I was hoping they would last for a while (at least until Black Friday), but the 50g tins are already sold out of the ones I wanted! I had to snag the sachets before they disappeared.

I like the packaging and I love lollipops. Too bad I don't like the taste, yes like other says, too sour and taste strange.. maybe I should try other flavor if they have..
Posted by 5623225705034023684 on Jan 08, 2017
The flavours are absolutely scrumptious! I was under the impression they were sugar free, only due to my own negligence of research. None the less, great flavours and pretty good value for money considering they're organic.

Skip to comments.Video: Sophisticated Hamas Underground Missile Launchers
Posted on 11/17/2012 11:07:33 PM PST by Nachum
The sophisticated underground rocket launcher system in Gaza has been exposed by the terrorist organization in a video it released Saturday.
The video indicates the amount of effort and money that Hamas invested in its anti-Israel military infrastructure that is partly financed by foreign aid and transfers by Israel of taxes collected on behalf of the Ramallah-based Palestinian Authority, which funnels part of the funds to Hamas.
The Israeli Air Force has knocked out a number of the underground sites, but it is not known how many remain.
Hamas has copied the Hizbullah tactic used in the 2006 Second Lebanon War, when Israeli intelligence was surprised by the use of underground bunkers and tunnels against the army.
(Excerpt) Read more at israelnationalnews.com ...
I've never understood why Israel doesn't go in and uproot this nonsense once and for all.
A jerry-rigged homemade launcher made out of welded steel and a cinder block underground room with an electric motor lift mechanism. It's as unsophisticated as the rockets themselves. No doubt it is hard to see from the air, but it must have one heck of a heat signature after the rockets are fired.
If they can use Iron Dome to intercept missiles in flight, the should be able to target the launch sites quickly. My concern is about the number of coincident launches. I suspect there is a swarm strategy out there which may appear shortly.
Yes, they need a -very- large DMZ. Several miles stripped of all cover, vegetation, buildings, and bulldozed as flat as possible. The land should all come from the Palestinian side.
This foolishness needs to end.
The old MLRS system we had 20 years ago had amazing counterbattery rosponse capability. In addition to Iron Dome, there needs to be immediate and overwhelming counterbattery fire, within a minute or two of every launch.
The muzzie men have the time to do this sort of thing because they don't have to hold jobs and work for a living.
They live on handouts from stupid and anti-semitic US politicians.
Ever notice in the newsreels how they are ready to swarm every car struck by an Israeli missle? In an instant they come out the woodwork like swarms of cockroaches no matter what the time. Without having to work they are always ready to go by the thousands.
Then the hordes run through the streets carrying the shrapnel blown up car parts cursing Israel and the US for the TV cameras.
The next day they are at the UN calling us cheapskats for not sending them more handouts.
They were propping rockets up on wooden frames.
several miles?
Do they even have several miles?
Secretary of State is more sophisticated, here she is observing the situation
fta ...and money that Hamas invested in its anti-Israel military infrastructure that is partly financed by foreign aid...
And that includes the billions given to them in US foreign aid!
If the House and Senate really are serious about reducing spending, foreign aid is a huge target.
Without Palestinians, Gaza could become a beach-front tourist destination with hotels and golf courses.
Money from Norway, for example.
Just days ago, the Norwegian King awarded the highest decoration of the land to a muslim convert - Trond Ali Linstad - who wants the jews gone. It blew up in the royals face, prompting a withdrawal of the honor.
Now, the Norwegian "Christians" (the newspaper "Vårt Land" among others) are up in arms over the slight to the muslim.
Europe needs a severe spanking.
Would not be one bit surprised that some of these weapons that are raining down on Israel are those weapons Obama gave to the Libyans, or the rebels in Syria then some how got funneled to these terrorist groups like Hamas.
given the muslim birthrates and the lack thereof of native europeans, they are going to, big time.
Some of them have been shot down, a few anyways
(i)slam is just about as useless as socialism and in the long run produces nothing but despair and dependency and eventually will fail. But apparently humanity has to go through these endless cycles of trials and errors ending in failures until eventually the realization set in to try something different, as only fools will try the same thing over and over and expect different results.
Would make nice hover car race tracks, or wind surfing areas.
Agreed. After all, that was Hussein Obama's intent...
Just for reference, everything in that video was available in 1918. Goddard's tube-launched rockets (the Bazooka), the high-explosive warheads, the electrically-opened rocket-pad doors, even the firing controls.
Everything. Heck, even the color filming of the rocket launches was available in 1918.
A century ago.
The range and explosive power of those rockets is considerably **less** than the German Big-Bertha artillery of 1918, too.
Not by any 1st world standard in the past 100+ years.
Israel should drive everyone from Gaza into the Sinai.
Spray the whole damn place with some chemical agent that is very long lasting. Something that makes you so sick you long for the release of death. An agent that makes you feel horrible but does not actually cause physical harm.
Perhaps something that causes powerful diarrhea and nausea.
It'd be hard to be a raging jihadist if you had a huge pantload of ick with you all the time :-)
Truthfully, would they know the difference?
Lol, you have a point :-)
You mean you didn't know why Chris Stevens was whacked ?
By golly, I haven't heard Robert Goddard's name mentioned in forever !
Quite an inventor.
not permitted by the entire globe
But it's ok for Assad to murder his people. What a world.
The world's doube-standard is deafening. Where were all the Liberals from 2001-2012 when Israel was getting bombed on a daily basis?
Now that Israel is trying to remove a murderous threat to her population centers it's no, no, no - be "proportional" in your attacks.
A mere 10% wouldn't be enough to put a stop to the launches.
Perhaps not, but 10% each time so much as a firework leaves the ground and even a rabble as stupid as a these so called "palestinians" would figure out something else to do to occupy their time.
And if not, the situation would correct itself eventually.
Regardless, doesn't it make one proud that at least some of the money Congress borrows to give to these people ends up, at the very least, in props rather than in the Swiss bank accounts of Hamas leadership.
Wonder who gets those "ones and zeros" in Zurich after a Hamas leader gets smoked by an air launched missile?
"Spray the whole damn place with some chemical agent that is very long lasting. Something that makes you so sick you long for the release of death. An agent that makes you feel horrible but does not actually cause physical harm."
Hearing obama speak does that for me. Maybe they can bottle it?
You and me both. Kill them when one rocket heads to Israel.
The use of radar is the principle device that makes counterbattery fire possible. Unfortunately, the Pally's use of launching sites that are next to schools and baby milk factories causes the Israelis to hesitate before firing back.
It is about as technical as a garage door opener. Maybe less so since it lacks photo sensors for emergency stop
Obama's first act in office was to expand this aid to Gaza and the the 'West Bank'. I seriously doubt that the House can stop it and that the Senate DemocRATs would go against their leader. Bleh.
Drive them into the sea. Clean out Gaza
-——Some of them have been shot down-———
There are rockets and then there are rockets.
Those shot down are larger and longer range and more sophisticated than the home made rockets shown in the video.
Those shot down come from Iran
Israel should make it known public policy that they intend to eradicate any launch site in Gaza regardless of collateral damage. Israel should inform the citizens of Gaza that if terrorists are near you, there is a very high probability that you to will soon die.
This is what will happen: An airburst is around 200-250 yards against all targets not in trenches with overhead cover or in sturdy buildings.
A ground burst around half that (but is obviously more effective against targets dug in close to the point of impact).
By 'effective' I mean almost very team in the danger zone is going to get pinned with a risk of casualties or be destroyed unless they are in decent cover.
These 500 lb iron bombs can be fitted with precision guidance systems from Raytheon "Paveway" and it will go where you want it. Hamas understands that civilians are an integral part of the equation of war and conflict. Israel needs to learn this also.
My biggest problem with Iron Dome is that the Palis will be able to bankrupt Israel by shooting $1000 rockets to be intercepted by $500,000 missiles.

Hardly a Market Correction... Yet
Yet the Dow Jones Industrial Average ended last week at 15,081.47, still ahead for the year by about 15%. That's not as good as the 19.5% gain for the DJIA reached on Aug. 2, but no one should be wringing their hands.... yet. Much will depend on what the Federal Reserve, and we should get some hints today when the Fed releases minutes from last month's Federal Open Market Committee meeting.
The S&P 500 index also had its biggest weekly decline since June, but the index is really down only just over 3% since it closed near the 1,710 level on Aug. 2.
Here's a five-year chart of the S&P 500 as measured by the SPDR S&P 500 ETF
Going back to 2008 when the stock market fell off a cliff in the second half of the year, the period from July through November hasn't been good for the broader stock market indices.
Usually when the stock market is in correction mode, Treasuries move higher. Last week was different as the value of the 10-year Treasury plummeted, causing the yield to spike to a two-year high of almost 2.83%.
The higher interest rates on the 10-year Treasury affects mortgage rates since the note is the benchmark for mortgages. Mortgage rates are climbing, which is affecting mortgage applications. Wall Street is concerned that this will crimp the housing recovery.
Last Wednesday, the Mortgage Bankers Association reported that mortgage applications for the week ended Aug. 9 decreased nearly 5% from the previous week.
No wonder the homebuilding sector has faltered. Consider the shares of two homebuilding bellwethers - Toll Brothers
Lennar has plunged 24% since its 52-week high on May 20 of $44.40, and Toll Brothers has fallen about 20% from its 52-week high on May 22 at $39.24.
Some blame the stock market's malaise on "good news is bad news." For instance, new weekly unemployment claims were the lowest since 2007. That caused concern that the Fed will reduce its bond-buying program.
Give me a break! How about the millions who have stopped looking for jobs because the only ones readily available pay close to minimum wage, or how about the millions who are under-employed for the same reasons?

First Spanish-Built NH90 Goes Airborne
Eurocopter España has conducted the maiden flight of the initial NH90 manufactured at its facility in Albacete. The helicopter joins a fleet of two other NH90s built in Marignane, France that are being used as prototypes for the flight testing and certification. The first Albacete-built NH90 is scheduled for handover to the Spanish Army Airmobile Force (FAMET) during 2013 as part of a contract inked in 2006.

Plant cuttings can be used to expand your collection in a cost-effective way. Use these tips on how to take plant cuttings from existing plants.
Not all plants come from seeds or bulbs. Most houseplants can be easily divided to create more plants. A few common plants that are simple to start or "root" are spider, ivy, philodendron, coleus, begonia, pothos, wandering Jew, and geraniums.
The first step in plant propagation from existing plants is to take cuttings. Plant cuttings are snips off of the appendage of a healthy plant. Hanging plants such as wandering Jews and ivy need periodic trimmings to encourage full growth, and using these cuttings is a great way to start new plants.
Before making a cut, look for nodes—these are the beginnings of new leaves and stem systems and resemble small roots or buds. A cut should always be made just below the node. Allow room for at least two inches above the node to taken. Use sharp scissors to make one clean, angled cut. Remove any remaining leaves beneath the bottom node and place the stem of the new cutting in a glass of lukewarm water. If the plant does not have visible nodes, make a cut below the last new leaf growth. Place the cuttings in a window, and before you know it, roots will begin to grow. Roots can take as little as a week to appear but may take as long as a month. While the roots grow make sure the water level in the glass remains above the roots. When a good root system is established—typically after four to six weeks—the cuttings may be placed in clean potting soil in a plant pot. Combining several cuttings in one pot will provide an instant established plant, and with in a few weeks the roots from all of the cuttings will merge together as one.
Rooting spider plants is a bit different from the stemmed plant process as cutting is not necessary. Once mature, Spider plants will sprout "babies" (several miniature plants will sprout from a long shoot of the main plant.) Once the babies have visible roots, simply twist the baby plant from its base to remove and place it in lukewarm water for a few weeks to coax the root system to grow more before it is re-potted. You can also place a pot of soil under the mature plant and allow the babies to root themselves. A grouping of baby spiders can take on the form of an established plant in no time at all.
Succulents such as hens and chicks and sedum will self-propagate and may be gently removed and re-potted when needed. To separate succulents, first look for new growth areas. New growth is found on the edges of the main plant. New growth is usually smaller in size from the original and sometimes has a slightly greener or pinkish color. Locate the separation point where the original plant and the new growth are loosely connected. Gently remove the smaller appendages by carefully pulling the plant away from the mother plant by the base using your fingers to untangle roots as you separate. Shake out the root system of the newly removed plant and transplant into a potting medium designed for succulents.
Newly rooted or divided plants require no special treatment. Regular plant maintenance such as watering, adequate lighting, and pruning of dead leaves is all that is required. Rooting plant cuttings and sharing with friends is a great way to diversify your own plant collection with out spending money. Rooted houseplants also make terrific house warming and hostess gifts, especially when paired with instructions for plant propagation.

Arthur, you could also add some extra heavy puree or a very good tomatoe paste to thicken the sauce to the consistency you would like. You would then not need to cook or simmer the sauce. It would have to be a very good paste though so the taste would not turn toward the bitter side.It took me very long to find a paste that still had that fresh taste and bright red color (many pastes are dark red).Pierre
Steve,Did you use a scale to weigh the 2 lbs of flour? and was it Sir Lancelot?Did you use active yeast or instant yeast?Arthur.
For what its worthI just switched to measuring and it has made a huge difference in my pies,They are pretty cheap in comparison to mail order KASL flour!!Pizzaholic
You know it's amazing. My Mother never measured or weighed anything in any of her recipes and they never failed. Go figure!

Man arrested in Iron River on assault, drug charges
Full support for drone research
Sometimes we read so much on certain subjects that the news seems to wash over us.
"Oh, I've heard that before."
And with that, readers move on to another story.
At times we believe Alpena County's efforts at attracting a Center of Excellence for the testing and training of unmanned aircraft vehicles (drones) is like that. There have been lots of words written about local efforts, yet we worry whether area residents fully comprehend the potential impact such a designation would create.
A study released this week helps put things into better perspective. The Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International released information showing that by 2018, 70,000 new jobs in the United States might be created because of drone research. By 2025, the study reports that number could swell to 100,000.
Mention "drones" and most people think military use.
Certainly that is true, and obviously the convenience of having the Alpena Combat Readiness Training Center located near the Alpena County Regional Airport, along with all the military airspace reserved in the skies above Northeast Michigan, makes the military and Alpena County perfect "marriage partners" in the drone effort.
However, military applications are just one component of potential drone use. The commercial applications are numerous and include such things as survey and mapping work, mineral exploration, public safety, agriculture, energy exploration, weather prognostication and research and news and entertainment. And those are just a few of potential ways drones could aid commercial efforts.
All of us in Northeast Michigan need to support Alpena County efforts of developing the region for drone research and development. If successful, it could create a potential economic bonanza for everyone.

Trade LSD for Speed - Page 3
Adding Intervals
Both Stofko and Hadfield recommend doing most of your interval training on the trails when you're training for trail races. Erholtz has found much benefit to doing speed work off-road. "It teaches my body and muscles how to run hard over rocky and technical terrain," she contends.
Start with one day of interval training each week, never exceeding two sessions a week. "Space them out," says Stofko. "You need time to recover before you do another hard workout." Hadfield echoes that point, saying, "When you throw too much into the recipe, it can no longer be digested. If you aren't recovering adequately, you'll end up hurt."
Erholtz does her interval training with a watch and judges her effort based on her breathing. Hadfield encourages her athletes run intervals by feel rather than at a prescribed pace, saying that predetermined numbers can potentially hold runners back from their best performances.
"Your training program needs to be diverse, so when you get tired out on the trail, you have endurance, strength, flexibility and speed," says Hadfield. "The more tools you have in your toolbox, the better."
Coach Paul Stofko's Interval Workouts
Interval workout in preparation for a 5K trail race:
:: Warm up 10 minutes
:: 2 minutes hard effort
:: 2 minutes recovery jog
:: Start with four repetitions and work up to eight to 10
:: Cool down 10 minutes
This should be harder than conversation pace, but not so hard that you aren't able to complete the workout. These will feel speedy and will get you breathing hard, but shouldn't be all-out sprints.
Interval workout in preparation for a 50K trail race:
:: Warm up 10 minutes
:: 8 minutes hard effort
:: 6 minutes recovery jog
:: Start with four repetitions and work up to six to eight
:: Cool down 10 minutes
Find a pace that you can sustain—it should not be all out but should be taxing.
