PartMaker Hits the Road
22. March 2013
It's not that Fort Washington, Penn., (home of PartMaker Inc.) isn't a nice place to visit, but sometimes one must go to the mountain. That's the thinking behind a nine-city, nationwide user group tour underway by PartMaker, a division of Delcam Plc.
"Our Version 2013 is probably the most significant PartMaker release in the history of the product," says division president, Hanan Fishman. With 2013 being such a significant release, we thought, what better way to educate the advanced manufacturing community than visit some of the major markets in which we are present and explain the new technology in a friendly, face-to-face forum that is fun, educational and a great networking event for attendees."
Each road show stop is for 2 days allowing time for both general and technical presentations of the new release. A complete schedule, detailed explanation and registration form can be found at www.partmaker.com/roadshow2013/.

Vacuum Forming Machine
To provide the members of i3Detroit with another fabrication tool tool to build their projects.
Hard to guess on this one. Factors include builder availability, acquiring parts quickly, communication between builders. I would guess several months will go by before we can do some forming. Build started on 4-4-12
While I have been a member for nearly 1.5 years, I have not yet worked on a team build. This will be my first team build and also my first time leading a team build. So far about 4 members and myself are builders. I hope to add a few more in order to add high quality welding and knowledgable electrical skills. Brian W. has volunteered to work on the vacuum pump, tanks and the control panel. We also have talented members Glen M, Brian B and Demetrios.
After meeting with a few of the project builders, it was decided to build a larger machine than I had planned to build alone. We looked at different designs and decided to purchase the "Proto-Form" plans online. I have bought these plans and printed them out. Builders are welcome to write notes and comments on the plans as they need to.
Sure it going to cost a few bucks and a few calories but all the tools to build a vacuum forming machine are already at i3Detroit. Several members have pledged donations for purchasing materials. Most of these members are also on the build team. The oven/heating unit is a bit expensive and I'm not sure about the pricing for the metal frame (it was about $200) and electrical connections (around $250).
Here's a short list of parts already available (or almost available)
Electrical. Vacuum system parts
Parts that need to be purchased
Expensive Oven.
Platen parts.
Completed Work
Wooden mobile cart. Most of the steel frame has been welded. Sheet metal oven holder ready for oven.
The plans for the Proto-Form were created by a man from Lake Orion. I will surely invite him to i3Detroit to see the build when it is completed. I will be purchasing the heater parts from him at some point.
We all love the Mythbusters, right? Well guess what vacuum former they use? The same one we are building. I heard they used it to build Buster 2 in one of the episodes.

ANAHEIM, Calif. (Sept. 20, 2009) – The U.S. Women's National Volleyball Team, ranked second in the latest FIVB World Ranking, will compete in the biennial eight-country NORCECA Continental Championship Sept. 22-27 at Bayamon, Puerto Rico.
The tournament winner qualifies for the 2009 FIVB Grand Champions Cup to be held Nov. 10-15 in Japan. Each of the four continental champions earns a spot into the FIVB Grand Champions Cup, along with host Japan and one wild card team.
"We go into every tournament with the mindset of winning it, and the NORCECA Championship is no different," U.S. Women's National Team Head Coach Hugh McCutcheon (Christchurch, New Zealand) said. "This tournament also carries with it the chance to qualify for the FIVB Grand Champions Cup. This is the most important time to peak, and we have been working hard all summer so that we can play our best heading into the NORCECA Championship."
For the NORCECA Continental Championship, the U.S. is grouped in Pool B with defending champion Cuba, Mexico and Costa Rica. Historically, this year's Pool B participants have ruled the NORCECA Continental Championship with all 20 previous titles. Cuba (1973, 1975, 1977, 1979, 1985, 1987, 1989, 1991, 1993, 1995, 1997, 1999, 2007) has won the event 13 times, while the United States (1981, 1983, 2001, 2003, 2005) has won the championship five times and Mexico twice (1969, 1971). Further, USA and Cuba have played against each other in 16 of the last 17 finals.
Despite the historical dominance of USA and Cuba at the NORCECA Continental Championship, McCutcheon believes other countries are rapidly catching up and creating a wide-open tournament field.
"Other countries besides USA and Cuba have been performing well in recent years, including Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico," McCutcheon said of two teams which played in the 2009 FIVB World Grand Prix earlier this summer. "There are four teams capable of winning the NORCECA Championship, and it will not be a two-horse race. The field is quite deep and competitive."
Team USA opens pool play against 26th-ranked Mexico on Sept. 22, then faces fifth-ranked Cuba on Sept. 23 as part of the marquee match on the middle day of the round-robin competition. The Americans finish out pool play against 30th-ranked Costa Rica on Sept. 24.
The U.S. has faced both Mexico and Costa Rica this summer, but has not played Cuba since defeating it during the 2008 Olympic Games semifinals. The Americans topped Mexico (25-19, 25-14, 25-11) on June 28 during pool play at the 2009 Pan American Cup held in Miami. Team USA started the 2009 Pan American Cup with a three-set victory (25-7, 25-6, 25-16) over Costa Rica on June 26. The Americans also defeated Costa Rica 25-15, 25-9, 25-15 nine days later on July 8 in the gold-medal match of the 2010 FIVB World Championship Qualification Tournament NORCECA Pool G at Orlando.
However, Cuba has been relatively quiet in competition against other top NORCECA teams in this first year of the quadrennial. It did not compete at the Pan American Cup, but hosted and won the NORCECA Third Round Pool F qualification tournament into the 2010 FIVB World Championship with victories over Trinidad & Tobago, Nicaragua and Guatemala. Further, Cuba did not qualify to compete in the 2009 FIVB World Grand Prix with 12 of the top countries participating in the annual tournament.
"Cuba is always a tough match," McCutcheon said. "The coaching staff and players will get the chance to watch Cuba play against Costa Rica on the first day of pool play in Puerto Rico, plus watch videos of its matches during Montreux earlier this year. Despite not having played them, we will have a rough idea of what to expect from the Cubans."
On the opposite side of the bracket, 23rd-ranked Canada, 14th-ranked Dominican Republic, 18th-ranked Puerto Rico and 53rd-ranked Trinidad & Tobago comprise Pool A. The U.S. has won two of three meetings against both Dominican Republic, while winning three of four matches against Puerto Rico. Team USA has not faced Trinidad & Tobago in 2009.
The winner of each pool receives an automatic berth into the semifinals on Sept. 26. The second- and third-place pool finishers will compete in crossover quarterfinal matches on Sept. 25. The championship and all classification matches take place on Sept. 27.
McCutcheon has named a 19-player preliminary roster for the 2009 NORCECA Continental Championship. The final roster of up to 14 players must come from the preliminary roster and presented at the preliminary inquiry on Sept. 21. McCutcheon's preliminary roster includes six outside hitters, five middle blockers, four setters, two opposites and two liberos.
The outside hitters include three-time Olympian Logan Tom (Salt Lake City, Utah), 2004 and 2008 Olympic Games alternate Cynthia Barboza (Long Beach, Calif.), 2008 Olympic Games alternate Kristin Richards (Orem, Utah), Jane Collymore (Seattle, Wash.), Jordan Larson (Hooper, Neb.) and Angie Pressey (Lake Mary, Fla.). The middle blocker group includes four-time Olympian Danielle Scott-Arruda (Baton Rouge, La.), three-time Olympian Heather Bown (Yorba Linda, Calif.), Alexis Crimes (Rancho Cucamonga, Calif.), Christa Harmotto (Aliquippa, Pa.) and Elisha Thomas (Grass Valley, Calif.).
Among the setters selected for the preliminary roster include two-time Olympian Lindsey Berg (Honolulu, Hawaii), 2008 Olympic Games alternate Angie McGinnis (Fraser, Mich.), Nellie Spicer (Barrington, Ill.) and Courtney Thompson (Kent, Wash.). The opposites are represented by 2004 Olympian Nancy Metcalf (Hull, Iowa) and Nicole Fawcett (Zanesfield, Ohio). The liberos are three-time Olympian Stacy Sykora (Burleson, Texas) and 2008 Olympian Nicole Davis (Stockton, Calif.).
The U.S. recently returned from Peru in which it claimed the silver medal at the Final Four Intercontinental Cup in Lima. After finishing 1-2 in pool play, the U.S. responded with a four-set victory over Dominican Republic in the semifinals. Team USA, which opened the tournament with a five-set loss to top-ranked Brazil in pool play, met its 2008 Olympic Games gold-medal match rival for the fourth time in 2009 during the Final Four Cup gold-medal match. Once again, the U.S. lost in four sets to Brazil during the title match and settled for a silver medal.
Pressey came away from the Final Four Cup with the tournament's Best Scorer honor with 69 points scored in 20 sets. Harmotto averaged 0.95 blocks per set to earn the event's Best Blocker award.
"It was clearly a good opportunity for us to take this group to Peru and compete against top teams," McCutcheon said. "It provided the players another chance to play, while it also gave us a longer look at more players to evaluate them for the present and future of our program."
The U.S. Women's National Team has now played in four tournaments this summer covering 24 matches, not counting a two-match goodwill tour to Egypt in April. In addition to its silver-medal finish at the Final Four Intercontinental Cup, Team USA finished fourth at the Pan American Cup in Miami, while earning the gold medal at the FIVB World Championship Qualification Tournament – NORCECA Pool G at Orlando. It went overseas to Brazil, Chinese Taipei and Thailand in the three preliminary round weekends of the FIVB World Grand Prix, compiling a 3-6 record for ninth place.
"The World Grand Prix was obviously a challenging experience for our team, but in spite of the results, it was positive in a number of areas," McCutcheon said. "We learned a lot and I think we've made significant improvements in the gym since our return. Now is the time to see if that progress made in the practice gym will transfer onto the match court. This team works hard and they are committed to improving every day. It's a wonderful group to work with."

Sun protection for daytime rides
By JT the 29er
from Dallas, TX
Comments about Halo Headband Solar Skull Cap:
Great for sun protection and absorbing sweat from your forehead. I have used Halo headbands for years - this also addresses the issue of neck and ear sun protection.

Way too much tail on this dog
By Bill
from West Palm Beach, FL
About Me Avid Cyclist
See all my reviews
This is not what I expected and I don't like it as well as the older style. This one has a large tail that not only hangs down the back, but covers the ears too. Way too big, over the top. I think pinking shears are in order. Too much of a good thing is still too much.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Too tight for my head
By Magnus
from SF Bay Area, CA
Upon receiving this, I tried it on, and knew right away it would be too tight, especially for its intended use in hot weather. Consctriction on the head is not something you want in those conditions. My head circ. is 23 inches. The band felt "rubbery", though I understand that is how the product works at removing sweat away from face. I think the concept is good, but perhaps a large size might mitigate these issues. "Yes" recommnendation above a qualified one.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

not under a helmet!
By agmtb
from Tucson, AZ
The sweat band is too thick to fit under a helmet. Neck shade is great.
Almost got it right
By Old and Slo
from Bermuda Dunes, CA
I live in the Calif. desert and often ride in 110+ degree heat. I wanted something to keep sweat out of my eyes and sun off my neck and ears. This does a good job of keeping sweat out of my eyes and it adequately covers my neck and ears so I don't need sunscreen. It is not too hot in moderate temperatures but in the desert heat during summer I have to keep it wet in order to not overheat. I use one water bottle for my inside and one for the head gear and my outside. If I stop and wet it about every 7 miles it keeps my head cool (best way to wet it is to stuff it inside the water bottle). My biggest complaint is with the black headband that seems too tight and the hottest possible color. Under my helmet the head gear is not going anywhere so the tight, heavy, hot headband only makes it less comfortable.
High thermal retention properties.
By Tim the Lone Wolf Cyclist
from Tempe, AZ (Phoenix)
About Me Casual/ Recreational
This is great so long as you do not intent to wear in the Summer. Too much thermal retention. If you are going to wear in the summer be sure to wet completely down.
Just like advertised
By Ginger
from Phoenix, AZ
Sits. No sliding around. Light, comfortable.
this thing is great
By Austin Bike Rider
from Austin, TX
Really good at keeping your face dry and sun off you ears and neck. Great product.
Not fond of skin cancer
By Mark in SA
from San Antonio, TX
I bought this because I am not a fan of skin cancer and I don't particularly care for the neck line tan. I usually put sunscreen on, but I sometimes forgot when I was pressed for time. I love that this protects my neck from the sun and the bonus is the yellow band that redirects the sweat that would constantly drip into my eyes and sunglasses while riding. This is still very comfortable under my helmet and riding in San Antonio in 100 plus degree heat I didn't feel like my head was baking under the material.
Almost works.
By Mountain Climber Matt
from Rochester NY
I have fair skin and use a lot of sunscreen. I bought this desert looking gear to protect my neck and ears. The trouble is the tail isn't wide enough to fit around the ears and it isn't long enough to tuck into the jersey. So it just flaps around in the breeze giving limited sun protection. It does keep sweat out of the eyes perfectly, but the rubber line will leave a mark on your forehead for an hour after your ride.

The Deal: New Time CEO Must Act Quickly
The smart money has had Time Inc.'s top job going to Michael Klingensmith, who like Ripp is an alum of the organization, ever since parent company Time Warner Chief Executive Jeff Bewkes announced a magazine divestiture four months ago.
Klingensmith doesn't need a lot of money, and, besides, Time Warner was willing to pay plenty. Klingensmith, who's credited with turning around Star Tribune Media since becoming its CEO in 2010, spent the bulk of his career at Time Inc. in a series of jobs that couldn't be better designed for strategic leadership of a magazine empire. CFO of the entire organization? Check. GM of Time Magazine? Check again. And what about creative flair -- as demonstrated by being the co-founder of Entertainment Weekly? Yep, he did that, too.
So what happened? Those even remotely interested in the magazine industry will recall that, before committing to spinning itself off as a stand-alone, Time came this close to cutting a deal with Meredith. But with so many moving parts, as well as conflicts among various corporate, ownership and cultural interests, the proposition's unwieldiness wound up denying a timely yet universally satisfactory solution.
Besides, given it wouldn't be around to reap the massive synergies a deal would bring, Time Warner can be forgiven for thinking what's the rush. For Meredith, though, those synergies are still waiting. And given how far down the M&A runway previous discussions have already taken the two interested parties, there may not be much ground left to cover before liftoff.
As tax expert Robert Willens told the Deal at the time discussions initially fell apart: a merger could still occur -- even "shortly after" Time Inc. becomes a standalone -- and its terms wouldn't be restricted by the majority-ownership demands that appeared to thwart a tax-free transaction before Time Inc.'s official spin off. "I'm thinking the merger is just as likely now as it was a couple of days ago," Willens said.

Report shows importance of NY's community banks
To the editor:
The Independent Bankers Association of New York State welcomes a new study released by Gov. Cuomo and state Financial Services Superintendent Benjamin Lawsky which found that community banks provide most of the loans for small businesses and small farms in New York.
We believe the study reinforces the fact that New York's local, independent community banks know our customers, understand our markets and are strongly committed to reinvesting in their future. With locally based ownership and a commitment to our communities, we are very close to the economic pulse of New York's cities, towns and villages.
The study notes that with less than a quarter of all bank assets in New York, community banks generate more than half of all small business loans and nearly all the small farm loans in the state. Indeed, the state's smallest banks, those with assets under $1 billion, account for almost 28 percent of all small business loans and 43 percent of small farm loans in New York.
As the study also points out, New York's community banks continued to lend to small businesses and homeowners throughout the financial crisis. That fact cannot be emphasized enough. Despite the crisis, our community banks grew solidly during the 2000s. Today, we have 38 percent of all loan assets. The increase is attributed largely to an increase in commercial and residential real estate lending, and the increase in real estate loan assets is attributed, in part, to community banks holding onto and servicing real estate loans, rather than merely originating them and then selling them to mortgage loan servicers.
In releasing the study, Superintendent Lawsky reiterated that community banks focus on the unique needs of their communities, build strong customer relationships which help attract local retail deposits, and take deposits from their communities and typically recycle them back into their communities in the form of loans. Gov. Cuomo noted that community banks represent a strong economic engine that drives growth in New York and described their performance as remarkable.
The Independent Bankers Association of New York State believes this study hits the nail on the head. New York's local community banks have been, are today and will continue to be committed to building stronger economies for our localities and state, and brighter futures for our customers.
We thank the governor and superintendent for recognizing the importance of New York's community banks and look forward to continuing to work together on issues related to community banking.

Naxos Town (or Hora) is the capital and main port of Naxos Island. In and around the old Venetian Castle are tiny roads, old houses, jumble of alleys, archways rising steeply to the citadel. North of the port, a pathway stretches out to the islet of Palatia and the unfinished Temple of Apollo (6th century BC). Portara is the huge entrance (6 metres height, 3.5 metres width) to the temple that Naxos tyrant Lygdamis began building on Palatia Islet. Further north of Palatia (in Grotta) are remains from the Mycenaean period.
The Old Town is divided into two neighbourhoods. Brougos where the Greeks lived and the fortified Venetian Castle (Kastro in Greek) was built under the rule of Marco Sanoudos on the top of a natural hill where the Acropolis of ancient era was. Only two of the seven original seven twoers (those of Sanoudo and Glezos families) remain, although the North Gate survives and it is an excellent example of medieval fort entrance. The Venetian Catholic descendants still live in the old mansions which encircle the site. On a square is the Catholic Cathedral (13th century) dedicated to the Virgin. It is exciting to wander the tiny streets and the passways where sometimes you really have to bend down to get through.
Sightseeing in Naxos Town (Hora)
The Archeological Museum
All findings from excavations are kept in the archaeological museum, proof of the uninterrupted cultural presence in Naxos from pre-historic times until the end of the ancient times. The museum is housed in the building of the former Commercial School in the area of the Castle.
Grotta's Archaeological Site
Excavations made under Metropolis square have revealed some remains of the Mycenaean city of Naxos (1600 - 1100 B.C). The place has been landscaped and it is open to the public.
It is standing on the northern side of the port. This monument is a huge gate, which remains from a temple that was dedicated to Apollo. It was built during the 6th century B.C, when Naxos used to be a commercial and cultural centre.
The Venetian Castle
An impressive monument which was built during the long Venetian rule (1204-1537); it is located on a hill which is the natural acropolis of Hora. A medieval town in the heart of the Aegean still in its original form, inhabited continuously since 1207. The external walls of the peripheral houses shape the wall of the Castle, which has only three entrance gates.

During the Greco-Persian War in 490 BCE, Phidippides, a 40-year-old herald messenger (professional running-courier) ran the 26 miles from a battlefield near Marathon, Greece, into Athens carrying momentous news of Greek victory. Upon arriving at the Acropolis, he proclaimed: 'Joy, we have won!' and then immediately collapsed and died.1 Fast-forward about 2500 years to an era when the baby-boomer's came of age and long-distance running boomed. The prevailing logic held that aerobic exercise is clearly good for one's health and that, if some is good, more must be better. In 1975, Dr Thomas Bassler, a physician/runner, boldly proclaimed that, if you could run a marathon, you were immune to death from coronary heart disease (CHD).2 This urban myth has long since been disproven; indeed an emerging body of evidence suggests the opposite: extreme endurance exercise may exact a toll on cardiovascular (CV) health.
'Show me the bodies'
After our recent articles on this topic,1 ,3–5 Amby Burfoot, winner of the 1968 Boston Marathon and Editor-at-Large for Runner's World Magazine, challenged our assertions about the dangers of extreme endurance efforts by demanding, 'Show me the bodies'. Amby has a good point: the risk of dropping dead in a marathon is remote, about 0.5 to 1 in 100,000 participants.6 But the occasional marathoner or triathlete who dies while strenuously exercising is the 'canary in the coal mine'. Chronic extreme exercise appears to cause excessive 'wear-and-tear' on the heart, inducing adverse structural and electrical remodelling, which offsets some of the CV benefits and longevity improvements conferred by moderate physical activity. Thus, even though chronic extreme exercise may not kill you, it may erase many of the health advantages of regular moderate exercise.
Indeed, regular vigorous exercise is probably the single best step a person can take to ensure robust CV health. In a …

Richard and Carolyn Renaud
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Marlene Jennings Notre-Dame-de-Grâce—Lachine, QC
Madam Speaker, I would like to commend the exceptional work of two of my constituents, Richard and Carolyn Renaud of Montreal West.
The Renaud family generously donated $5 million to create 100 bursaries and 12 assistant professor positions for Concordia University students. Mr. and Mrs. Renaud are now recreating this program at the Universities of Montreal and Quebec. The couple has also made a donation of over $13 million to Concordia University.
Because of these exceptional donations and his extraordinary community involvement, Concordia has honoured this alumnus by naming its new science building the Richard J. Renaud Science Complex.
I ask all members to please join me in congratulating Mr. Renaud for his philanthropic works and his family for their dedication to ensuring the completion and quality of university level education in the Montreal area.
The Environment
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Charles Caccia Davenport, ON
Mr. Speaker, Environment Canada reports that in the year 2002 an estimated 2 million TV sets, 1.1 million VCRs and 348,000 CD players were disposed of, with most of that sent to landfills. In all, Canadians threw out approximately 155,000 tonnes of so-called electronic waste.
It should be noted that each TV set can contain up to two kilograms of lead, a dangerous substance for children. Mercury, which is used in stereos, is also appearing in landfills.
The report recommends the adoption as a matter of urgency of an electronics recycling policy.
I therefore call upon the government to implement the Environment Canada report's recommendations to reduce this type of waste and the damage to land and, eventually, to groundwater.
Peter McGinn
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Geoff Regan Halifax West, NS
Mr. Speaker, today I am sad to rise and report to the House the death of one of my constituents.
This past Saturday, while helping his friends and neighbours unload lobster traps donated by fishermen in West Nova to assist fishermen in Halifax West affected by hurricane Juan, Peter McGinn passed away as the result of a heart attack.
A pillar of his community, Pete lived and worked around the ocean most of his life. After a distinguished career with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Pete retired and became even more involved in his community. He was the secretary of the Prospect Area Full Time Fishermen's Association and played a key role in forming the Prospect Peninsula Ratepayer's Association.
Pete was a likeable guy with a great sense of humour. I know I speak for myself and many people from the Prospect area in passing on our sympathies to Pete's family. He will certainly be missed.
Forest Industry
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Canadian Alliance
Reed Elley Nanaimo—Cowichan, BC
Mr. Speaker, raw log exports from British Columbia continue to be a very serious issue, particularly for Vancouver Island and my riding of Nanaimo—Cowichan.
It has been reported that last year log exports hit an all time high of 3.7 million cubic metres; 100,000 truckloads of timber. The sad thing about this is that there are no signs of this slowing down. This amounts to one in every four trees that are cut down being shipped out of B.C.
Why is this a serious concern? It is because with every log that we allow to be exported goes jobs, and we seriously impair the much needed development of secondary forest industries that could produce more value added products.
With the loss of these jobs, there are serious economic and social consequences. These jobs are needed to pay the family bills, support local small business, pay taxes and provide economic stability at all levels.
I urge the government to work with its provincial counterparts to put a stop to the export of raw logs, particularly off crown lands. Shame on the Liberal government for shipping our logs and our jobs south of the border and to Asian markets.
YWCA Week Without Violence
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Janko Peric Cambridge, ON
Mr. Speaker, this week Canadians from across the country will be participating in anti-violence activities as part of the eighth annual YWCA Week Without Violence.
The goal of these activities is to develop practical and sustainable solutions to the issue of violence in our communities. This includes the raising of awareness of the plight of women in abusive relationships, children exposed to bullying or violence, and the fear of violence present in our homes, workplace, schools and streets.
The YWCA Canada provides programs and services to over 1 million women and their families through its 40 chapters, including the YWCA of Cambridge.
YWCA volunteers, members, participants and staff have always been at the forefront of the struggle for the equality and empowerment of women in our society.
I congratulate all YWCA volunteers and staff for their ongoing dedication to this cause and the betterment of our society.
Nobel Peace Prize

Diane Bourgeois Terrebonne—Blainville, QC
Mr. Speaker, I wish to congratulate Ms. Shirin Ebadi, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. This Iranian lawyer is the first Muslim woman to receive such an honour.
In awarding her the prize, the Nobel Committee has emphasized the importance of human rights in general, and in particular the rights of women and children for whom Ms. Ebadi has worked for over 25 years.
Shirin Ebadi was the first Iranian woman to become a judge, but she was removed from that office in 1979 when the Islamic Republic was created in Iran. She had to struggle for more than 10 years to regain the right to plead as a lawyer. Iranian women owe to Ms. Ebadi and her colleague Mehr-Anguiz Kar the family law amendments that give more rights to women. Ms. Ebadi also gained fame by defending children before the courts, as well as intellectuals imprisoned since 2000.
On behalf of all Bloc Quebecois members, I want to pay tribute to this defender of the rights of women in Iran.
Sierra Leone

Peter Adams Peterborough, ON
Mr. Speaker, Sierra Leone is emerging from civil war. Canadians are helping at this difficult time. Our high commission and CIDA staff are doing fine work. So are members of the armed forces, the RCMP and other police forces.
Canadians are helping with the special court for war crimes and the reconciliation commission. Canadians in NGOs and the private sector are involved in areas like health care, education, agriculture, mining and journalism. Our Parliament is helping to strengthen governance there.
Although the maple leaf flies proudly over the RCMP's Canada House in ravaged downtown Freetown, most Canadians in Sierra Leone work quietly, effectively but anonymously.
Let us take the time to think of the people of Sierra Leone and all the Canadians who are assisting them. As we do so, let us recognize the fine work of the member for Nepean—Carleton who was our special envoy to Sierra Leone at the height of the war.

Val Meredith South Surrey—White Rock—Langley, BC
Mr. Speaker, yesterday the Prime Minister wrapped up a two day summit with the 21 Pacific rim leaders at the APEC summit. These included the Malaysian prime minister who last week said:
The Europeans killed six million Jews out of 12 million, but today the Jews rule the world by proxy.
They get others to fight and die for them.
World leaders from Australia, Germany, Italy, Spain and the European Union condemned his comments. President Bush took the opportunity at the APEC summit to pull him aside and tell him his comments were wrong and divisive.
The Prime Minister has once again failed to voice Canadian values and looked weak and unconcerned. Why did the other world leaders recognize the need to criticize Mahathir's comments?
Canada's Prime Minister should represent Canadian values and have condemned the Malaysian prime minister's statements.
The Prime Minister's legacy has been not to offend any world leader's comments except, of course, those of our traditional allies, the British and the Americans.
Regional Economic Development

October 21st, 2003 / 2:05 p.m.
Gérard Binet Frontenac—Mégantic, QC
Mr. Speaker, last week, the Secretary of State in charge of the Economic Development Agency of Canada for the Regions of Quebec announced the extension of the Amiante MRC's Regional Strategic Initiative.
A budget envelope of $7.5 million will be used to carry out projects in the region until March 2006. Of that amount, over $3 million has already been invested in innovative projects, thus creating over 250 jobs and generating investments of $16.2 million.
This good news fits in well with 2003 Small Business Week, which focuses on the power within every entrepreneur to turn dreams into reality by creating businesses that fuel regional economic growth.
The Frontenac—Mégantic region is a good example of this dynamism. It has reached a level of excellence in Quebec thanks to our small business leaders who turn innovative ideas into reality.
Post-Secondary Education

Progressive Conservative
John Herron Fundy Royal, NB
Mr. Speaker, last year when I called for the elimination the parental contribution standard, the Liberal government said that its loan system was already sufficient. Yet earlier this month Statistics Canada proved that the door to post-secondary education is shut to students of middle-income families.
Students simply cannot get the loans they need to go to university because many parents cannot or will not give what the government expects. It is unreasonable that parents are expected to fill the void after the prime minister is waiting repeatedly sliced into post-secondary education funding.
Despite swelling tuitions, the maximum weekly amount paid by the government student loan program has not increased since 1994. It is almost 10 years that the program has been lying stagnant.
Three principles must be instituted so students are no longer punished. We need stable and consistent funding to the provinces. We need to modernize student aid programs, we need effective student debt reduction programs and we need excellence and accessibility. We need leadership not neglect from the Liberal government.
Food Banks
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Monique Guay Laurentides, QC
Mr. Speaker, a report made public last week by the Canadian Association of Food Banks confirms that the number of men, women and children turning to food banks to put food on the table has doubled since 1989.
The numbers are staggering. According to this report, at least 750,000 people use food banks each month.
Increasing numbers of people are living in poverty and must beg for their bread and butter. Meanwhile, the Auditor General will soon tell us that, during the sponsorship scandal, the current Prime Minister chose to scandalously waste public funds on propaganda, rather than invest in a real strategy to fight poverty.
This sad saga in Canadian politics was written by the current Prime Minister, along with the former finance minister, who still prefers to use tax havens rather than contribute to the taxes of the country he dreams of leading. This is a sad legacy for one, and a sorry start for the other.
Occupational Therapy Week
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Colleen Beaumier Brampton West—Mississauga, ON
Mr. Speaker, yesterday marked the beginning of National Occupational Therapy Week in Canada. Occupational therapists work with anyone who is having difficulty doing the activities that are important to them.
Their vital work is done with almost all age groups. They work with seniors helping them to enjoy more years of independent living. They work with children who suffer from developmental difficulties to help them enjoy all the benefits of growing up.
Unfortunately their work sometimes goes unnoticed and far too often funding for occupational therapy services are cut to finance more acute medical services. However, for those who have been treated by an occupational therapist, their services are invaluable.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank occupational therapists across Canada for their hard work and dedication to their profession. I wish them a successful National Occupational Therapy Week and good luck for the future.
Foreign Affairs
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Pat Martin Winnipeg Centre, MB
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to condemn in the strongest possible terms the racist, anti-Semitic outbursts of Mahathir Mohamad, the prime minister of Malaysia.
It is easy to dismiss these remarks as the ravings of a madman, but he is a head of state with status and influence, and as such his racist lies incite hatred and violence and give licence to too many others who share his warped world views.
Anti-Semitism is the most virulent and enduring form of hatred the world has ever known and within living memory this hatred has manifested itself into the most shameful event in human history, the Holocaust.
On this day when Parliament has agreed to establish Yom Ha'Shoah, as Holocaust Memorial Day, I call upon our Prime Minister to publicly denounce Mahathir Mohamad and to state clearly that we consider his shameful racist comments a hate crime on an international level.
2002 Winter Games
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
John McKay Scarborough East, ON
Mr. Speaker, honesty pays. I rise in the House today to honour a great Canadian champion, Becky Scott from Alberta, who represents our country in the sport of cross-country skiing.
Among her many achievements in world and Olympic competitions, Becky Scott was awarded a bronze medal at the 2002 Winter Games. In a dramatic turn of events, it was later announced that the two skiers who finished ahead of her in the 10 kilometre classic race were both found guilty of doping infractions.
After lengthy negotiations, Becky has been awarded a silver medal during a special ceremony held today at the Canada Olympic Park in Calgary, in front of her friends and fans.
This singular twist to Becky's story comes as a just reward for sticking to her sport's ethical values in the face of strong pressures to achieve success at all costs. It can inspire other Canadian athletes in their quest for excellence, showing them that hard work and perseverance alone can lead them to the top. Honesty does pay.
Canada Pension Plan
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Canadian Alliance
Ken Epp Elk Island, AB
Mr. Speaker, here is a letter from a constituent. He wrote:
The number, frequency, and high rate of government mismanagement incidents are totally outrageous to people such as myself. I'm being assessed by Canada Pension Plan for my fitness to receive my money plus they can't figure out why I, a legally blind person, can't find work.
He then indicates that for the third time in five years he is being required to prove to Revenue Canada that he is legally blind. Here is more from his letter:
In the face of the Governor General's million dollar tour of the north, I could live for 50 years on that amount. Being interrogated by CPP while she takes all her friends to travel the north and eat at fancy restaurants really offends me. Why do they waste taxpayers' money while hassling disabled folks? Something has to be done about this government which steals from the poor and gives to the rich.
That is how he ends his letter.

This week, I am in Taipei, teaching Top Gun class. There was concern that another typhoon would hit the island of Taiwan later this week, but it looks like it is now headed for Hong Kong instead.
Elsewhere in the world, there are several events going on next week, so I thought I would bring them to your attention.
- ECTY - South Africa
Next week, Jerry Kluck, IBM Global Sales Executive for Storage Optimization and Integration Services, will be the keynote speaker at "Edge Comes to You" (ECTY) conference in South Africa. This is a one-day event, similar to the [ECTY event in Moscow, Russia] that I spoke at last June.
Here is the schedule for South Africa next week:
- Monday, August 20, 2012 - Johannesburg
- Wednesday, August 22, 2012 - Cape Town
(I have been to both Jo'burg and Cape Town back in 1994. A month after Apartheid had just ended, I was part of a small group of IBMers sent to re-establish IBM's business operations there. I would have liked to have attended the events next week, not just to hear Jerry speak, but also to see how much the country has changed over the past 18 years, but I could not get a work permit in time.)
If you are interested in attending either of these next week, contact your local IBM Business Partner or sales rep to attend.
- Forrester's Total Economic Impact Study of Virtualized Storage
Virtualized storage can help organizations stretch their storage investment dollar and storage administration and management resources. Jon Erickson from Forrester Research will review the latest findings from IBM SAN Volume Control (SVC) users studied as part of the recently completed Forrester Total Economic Impact Study of IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller.
- Date: Tuesday, August 21, 2012
- Time: 10:00 AM PDT / 1:00 PM EDT
- Duration: 60 minutes
Among the findings, users were able to:
- Avoid the capital cost of additional storage
- Increase IT productivity
- Provide greater end user data availability
The second presenter is Chris Saul, IBM Storage Virtualization Manager, who will explain how SVC can manage heterogeneous disk from a single point of control, autonomously manage tiered disk storage and can store up to five times as much data on your existing disk using IBM Real-time Compression.
To sign up for this webcast, visit the [Registration page].
- Does Your Virtualization Platform Matter?
Not all virtualization solutions are created equal! That's true for storage virtualization, like the SAN Volume Controller mentioned above, and it's true for server virtualization as well.
This webcast discusses the real-world impact on businesses that deploy IBM's PowerVM® virtualization technology as compared to those using Oracle® VM for SPARC (OVM SPARC), Microsoft® Hyper-V, VMware® vSphere or other competing products.
- Date: Wednesday, August 22, 2012
- Time: 10:00 AM PDT / 1:00 PM EDT
- Duration: 60 minutes
This webcast will include findings from a [Solitaire Interglobal] study of over 61,000 customer sites on the value of virtualization from a business perspective and how IBM's PowerVM provides real business value.
Other key discussion points that will be covered during this webcast include:
- Behavioral characteristics of server virtualization technologies that were examined and analyzed from survey participant's environments
- How IT colleagues were able to obtain a faster time-to-market for business initiatives when using IBM PowerVM
- Why the learning curve time for PowerVM is as much as 2.58 times faster than for other offerings
- Why VM reboot comparisons for PowerVM vs competitive platforms resulted in downtime of 5.5 times less than with other options
- A TCO reduction of up to 71.4% for PowerVM compared to alternative options
This webcast will also feature an in-depth discussion on the IBM PowerVM solution from an IBM product expert who will share the unique virtualization features available when PowerVM is utilized within the IBM Power Systems™ environment.
