I dont know about you, but in my house we go through a LOT of cereal. Breakfasts, snacks, late-night munchies, fuel for our DIY San Diego carpentry projects -- what can I say? We love our cereal!
What I dont love, however, is tossing that box multiple times every month. See full article.

Topic: Feedback on my model structure and One-Way has_many :through
Hi everyone,
I've asked similar questions before here, but I've been learning a ton since I last asked about this and have revised my app's structure considerably.
Anyways, I have an app for taking classes online. Currently, here is my structure (the relevant parts anyways):
has_many :subscriptions
has_many :courses, :through => :subscriptions
has_many :subscriptions
has_many :users, :through => :subscriptions
I'm working on adding the Exam and Grading parts of the app and am currently working with this for my model associations:
# all of above
has_many :grades, :through => :subscriptions
# all of above
has_many :lessons
belongs_to :lesson
belongs_to :user # this is the part that gets kind of hairy; should this belong to :subscriptions or :users
has_one :grade
belongs_to :course # this also seems weird, but it's necessary that a lesson is related to Course for sure
has_many :questions
has_many :answers
has_one :correct_answer # a pseudo-model based on answers with the correct boolean set to 'true'
belongs_to :lesson
belongs_to :question
What do you guys think? Especially about the Grade model. How's the proper way to express a one-way has_many :through association?

Today, after 18 years missing, abducted child Jaycee Lee Dugard walked into a local California police station.
Dugard was last seen walking to her school bus stop in Lake Tahoe on June 10, 1991 where she was grabbed by an abductor. Dugard's stepfather witnessed the abduction and heard the child scream before being forced into a vehicle, which prompted a statewide manhunt for the young missing girl.
Today, 18 years later, a woman claiming to be Jaycee Lee Dugard walked into a California police station. The woman, now 29, was interviewed by the FBI and the Dugard family, who is now convinced that this woman really is the little Jaycee Lee Dugard they lost 18 years ago.
"I had personally given up hope," stepfather Carl Probyn told press. "I had just hoped for a recovery" and to find the people responsible. Instead, he said, "I've actually won the lotto."
Authorities have been unable to confirm whether or not this woman is the true Jaycee Lee Dugard but have planned a press conference for 6 p.m. ET. Two suspects are in custody: Phillip and Nancy Garrido, two residents of Concord, California.
Jaycee's stepfather states, "She sounds like she's okay," he said. "She had a conversation with my wife and she remembers things. I hope she's been well treated this entire 18 years."
Authorities are waiting on DNA before confirming whether this woman is really Jaycee Lee Dugard.

TRAINING LEVEL: Intermediate
CLASS SIZE: Minimum: 20 Maximum: 30
This comprehensive, three-day, instructor-led course presents the historical background and evolution of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and related environmental laws. It discusses their influence on FHWA's policies and procedures for the transportation project development and decisionmaking process. The course examines how the framework of laws, regulations, policies, and guidance integrate social, environmental, and economic factors in making transportation project decisions that are in the best overall public interest.
The course emphasizes the Council on Environmental Quality and FHWA's regulations; FHWA policy and guidance for implementing NEPA, Section 4(f) of the Department of Transportation Act, and related environmental requirements. It discusses the NEPA Essential Elements in detail, including purpose and need, alternatives, impacts, mitigation, public involvement, interagency coordination and documentation. The course presents the requirements and considerations used to decide whether to prepare an environmental impact statement, an environmental assessment or determination that a project is categorically excluded from either. While this is not a course in environmental document writing, it presents the key principles for preparing high quality environmental documents, including the core principles from the FHWA/AASHTO/American Council of Engineering Companies Improving the Quality of Environmental Documents and the FHWA IQED initiative. The course also includes group exercises that allow participants to apply the course concepts to a realistic project scenario involving several transportation, social and environmental considerations.
Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:
The target audience for this course includes FHWA, State departments of transportation (including consultants acting on behalf of the State), Federal and State environmental resource agencies, local governments, and metropolitan planning organizations who participate in the transportation decisionmaking process. We strongly encourage the sponsoring organization to invite a mix of planning and environmental staff from these agencies.

Many of the vast number of weevil species have been named more than once, or have had their names misspelled. Entomologists at the Natural History Museum and colleagues overseas are collaborating in sorting out nomenclatural problems and providing a single, expert-checked, name for each species and genus.
A major project is an online database of weevil names which is used as a basis by initiatives such as Species 2000 and GBIF. It is available on the web at http://wtaxa.csic.es/

A 'Nuclear' Waste Of Time
aWe shouldn't have been surprised to learn recently that a lack of common sense by a federal agency is hurting a local company.
RHI Monofrax of Jamestown is the only approved producer of the materials used to clean nuclear waste worldwide and has a $75 million contract with the federal government to produce the materials. While that contract is a boon to the local economy, it comes with strings. The federal Department of Energy only orders small amounts of the product each year. While it doesn't take Monofrax long to fill the order, the process to clean the kiln is time consuming and expensive. Without knowing when an order may be coming, it makes no sense to clean the kiln to make it ready for other work.
The current system has the Department of Energy ordering a small amount in one month, then waiting until it needs another small amount before it places an order. Such small, irregular ordering effectively takes 20 percent of Monofrax's production capacity away for weeks or months at a time. To make matters worse, Monofrax officials have 25 years to deal with this maddening system.
Monofrax officials are simply asking to be allowed to make enough of the cleanup material at one time that it can send the whole order to the Department of Energy, which can then use the material as needed. Of course, such a common sense solution can't happen easily. No, we had to get Sen. Charles Schumer involved. It's wonderful that Schumer is willing to take time to help a local company, but should that be necessary? Should a senator in the middle of complex discussions in Washington, D.C., really have to be involved for something this simple to be resolved?
Of course not.
It should be relatively simple for the Department of Energy to figure out how much of the nuclear cleanup material is needed, have RHI Monofrax make that amount of material and then allow Monofrax to clean its kiln and begin making other things for the rest of the year.
Working on a normal schedule can't be that hard, can it?

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Fantastic raceIn full: This was my first Greensand Marathon. I'm a relative trail running novice despite my previous 8 marathons, but this puts other marathons to shame. Superbly organised, loved the litte touches like the name on the number, free tea & coffee, swimming, Olympic torch, breakfast afterwards and excellent facilities. Friendly atmosphere, marshalls few and far between understandly for a course like this, however, the course was well marked out except for a few places, this was only noticeable because how well it was marked in other areas. I was a little concerned at the time but there was no need, just keep running!! Marshalls always so encouraging and friendly, much appreciated. Course was very challenging but flew by due to the scenic route and more importnat things to concentrate on plus great momentos at the finish, this is a must for serious marathoners and those seeking a challenge. This has encouraged me to do more trail runs, in prep for next year. well done Dr Rob, see you thenDate of review: October 22, 2012
In short: Poor organisationIn full: 2nd race in a week run by the same people and both times i weren't 100% on the route before starting and even during the race, some people did goth e wrong way...."just follow the bike!!" round a field a few times and through the forest, twice, the latter was ok for a trial run. T-shirts were for Raynes park 10k, medals are of poor quality. Directions on the website would be nice I was looking for Richardson evans sports ground would have been easier to say harlequins league ground or anything on the website, esp as I didn't know the area. Water, energy bar and free massage, allbeit brief were nice touch but definitely needs improvement on the organisation front.Date of review: September 26, 2011
In short: Best Race for a long whileIn full: This race had everything for me. Organisation was superb from the car parking, band at the beginning, collecting my number, the stalls out back, the route which was challenging but fun, the good work of the marshalls and support of the local community and runners friends & family, the medal, the goody bag and Dame Kelly thrown in for good measure. I was feeling fit and ready for this race and nothing on the day disturbed this which is detriment to the organisers, especially as it was the inaugral half. I even managed to get a tan on the way round :-)Being a little harsh there could be a few minor improvements as already mentioned, some were harsh, they can't run the race for you but a fantastic race and day out. Well done to everyone involved. I am looking forward to next year already. this is destined to become a bigger event and I am pround to have competed in the first one.Date of review: September 26, 2011
In short: Challenging yet funIn full: First time Ashtead 10k for me and even though i used it as a training run it was great to do part of my training offroad. Course was tricky with a variety of underfoot conditions but that made it all the more fun. A very scenic route with friendly competitors too. I will definitely run this one again. Very well organised, good support and marshall were super friendly and encouraging. Coasters made a nice change, although I do like a medal, t-shirt was fab with all entrants names on the back and a good addition to my running gear, and loads of goodies at the finish line. Makes it all worth doing, roll on next year :-)Date of review: September 21, 2011
In short: disappointingIn full: I thought I had a pb until i read the reviews, I thought that a little strange, still another 9.? km in the bank. It was poorly organised, luckily there weren't many people to confuse. The warm up, if you can call it that should have been an indication, then the announcer not being able to work out 1100 metres, was 2 3/4 laps rather than the 3 3/4 he stated. And I am still unable to access the results online. Happy I done a run saturday, medal is always nice, however, I will put this down to experience.Date of review: September 19, 2011
In short: Challenging but funIn full: This is one if not the best organised run I have been to, despite chip issue. An interesting, challenging and picturesque course, nice distnace. One minor gripe prob could have done with a water stop between 3 and 8 miles. But banana's, medal, lucozade & water at the finish as well as the now infamous long sleeve t-shirt. Top of the compliments has to go to the marshalls of which there were plenty and all very helpful, cheerful and supportive en route. see you next year, defo prefer the race later in the year rather than janDate of review: April 7, 2011
In short: Nice flat course to get miles in the legsIn full: Typical countryside half, small, quaint, friendly, scenery was as expected.My only grip would be a lack of water stations, i think from mile 4 to 11 was a bit too far strung out but easily resolvable for next year, only another 1 or two required...oh and mile 5/6 or 6/7 was off but no real drama's.Nice medal, great feeling seeing the finish line with a mile to go and a left feeling very satisified for my first half in over a year with a 1.44. Glad organisers are trying to solve the minor issues as it has potential and from the sounds of it much improved form previous years -well done.see you next yearDate of review: March 14, 2011
In short: Excellent, mucky, funDate of review: March 28, 2010
In short: Lovely day, well organided and throughly enjoyableIn full: perfect distance for pre marathon quick raceDate of review: April 20, 2009
In short: Good enjoyable raceIn full: I didn't heed the many warnings and missed the start by 15 mins, the marshalls were very helpful though and I started anyway. They made sure drink stations were aware I was coming and after 1st one I started catching up with people which made me feel I was more in a organised run than a training run. Marshalls were friendly and encouraging all the way round, scenery was lovely but did mean support was sparse but thanks to those who did get out there. Superbly organised, beautiful day for run, perfect training for FLM. Glad I did it.Date of review: March 30, 2009

Jean Moule last wrote about African-American pilot Bessie Coleman for the Flight Training blog. She is an emerita faculty member of Oregon State University, and a published writer and artist. Visit her website.—Ed.
I walked into the Salem Flight Training office to begin my 10 to 12 flight lesson. I was surprised to see Mark instead of Steve. "Steve had some work for the state," Mark said when he saw my expression.
A bit surprised because I had let Steve know that, as my first instructor, I preferred him and he had simply cancelled or changed a flight before if he was not available.
Yet…my now flying addiction caused me to take a deep breath and go for it.
Since I have had two substitutes, at first I did not connect that, Ah ha…this is the guy that I almost flew with in February…when we did not even get off the ground…because of my poor taxiing…or so I thought!
We talk about our plan for this time. Mark suggests that I fly to the Corvallis Airport because he knows I have not landed elsewhere. "I am not ready for that," I say. It is empowering, in a way, to speak to someone who has not flown hours with me and needs my input to know my perceived skills.
Mark sends me to preflight the airplane and we begin the routine…the one that usually has me work myself into a snag at something I know fairly well.
I manage to misplace my radio call cheat sheet. I decide to take the high road, "Guess I will have to get this out of my head this time," I say. And then, at least twice, instructor points to the N-number right before me above the instruments. That is one piece of information I do not need to have in my brain…of course I should know it after 12 hours in this airplane. Brain freeze and a live radio connection is an incredible eraser.
Preliminaries done, we taxi. I am getting better at taxiing because now I connect that a slight brake allows the wheels to rotate in the direction you want to go. "Like a Caterpillar tractor," my husband explained. As if I had any experience with them either.
So, we head to the runway. I do the radio calls and take off with just a bit of voice control from Mark. We head south. I circle over Education Hall at Oregon State University. My, what a perspective of the place where I worked so long and seldom visit in my retirement schedule of classes.
Mark takes photos. I enjoy the views and then we head east. For the first time I take the airplane up to 5,000 feet so that we are above the 4,200-foot Snow Peak that marks the high point of the area where my husband worked as a forester for 36 years.
We circle the forest below. The old growth fir trees that we see taller than the others are what is called "The Park" on the 12,000-acre Avery Property. The trees are about 500 years old.
We head down toward the ridge that runs under our property. I delight in showing Mark things on the ground that I know and he does not: Richardson Gap and the towns of Mill City and Lyons. It is difficult to find my house within the square of tall firs that grow up around it.
Then we head toward highway 22, the known road that leads back toward the airport.
While I have learned how to better trim the airplane to keep from tense and unnecessary tightness on the controls, we have been in the air over an hour and I am a bit tired. I think of asking Mark to land the airplane. There is so much to do, or so it still seems to me: Call the tower once at 10 miles and again when requested. Make sure no radio traffic is directed at you. Think of your approach into the pattern. Begin to get lower and slower. Lower those flaps. Adjust to the winds. Watch for other traffic. Et cetera.
While I know that Steve has some sense of what I can begin to handle with his help, I don't know how my growing knowledge and skills will come together with Mark as we land with him doing some of the work. I decide to just ask him to do it all. But oh! Am I surprised! As Mark takes over the landing and I feel his hands and feet on the controls….I actually find anger rising up within me. Wait, I think, wait! I want to land this plane! "Give me something to do," I say with a rise in my voice. Mark releases the yoke to me and talks me down.
Wow, what did I learn from this different instructor besides to focus on the N number right in front of me when making a radio call? I learned that….I want to fly this airplane….myself…
Two weeks later…My flight instructor and I had exchanged emails and I said that, weather permitting, I would like to fly over the mountains to Sisters and back and my husband would go with me. Steve says, "Weather permitting, going to Sisters is fine with me. There is a disadvantage in that you will grow more as a pilot by working on pilot skills rather than doing cross-country flights."
Weather was not permitting according to my standard briefing, and then Steve called because he was not even sure the low scattered clouds over the Salem field would allow for our flight at all. Since I had to drive through Salem anyway, on my way from an overnight and appointments in Portland, I stopped.
Steve decided it was perfect for touch and gos near the airport. We went over the pattern and the radio calls. I find out he has eight or nine in mind, and I have two or three! We discussed which parts of this I would do. There is so much to consider: radio calls to tower, elevation, airspeed, carburator heat, flaps up or down, turns, flight path, other planes, yipes! Take off, do a circle, touch down, and then put full power on and take off again! We did this four times and I told him it was enough for me though he had more in mind.
My flight lesson on that Wednesday keeps me smiling: scary, challenging, learning, and fun. It was like a roller coaster and merry-go-round combined. I just start to giggle every time I think about it! My adrenaline rush for at least two weeks.—Jean Moule


text: This research began with a review of previous Auto‐DR research on the commercial sector. Implementing Auto‐DR in industry presents a number of challenges, both practical and perceived. Some of these include: the variation in loads and processes across and within sectors, resource‐dependent loading patterns that are driven by outside factors such as customer orders or time‐critical processing (e.g. tomato canning), the perceived lack of control inherent in the term "Auto‐DR", and aversion to risk, especially unscheduled downtime. While industry has demonstrated a willingness to temporarily provide large sheds and shifts to maintain grid reliability and be a good corporate citizen, the drivers for widespread Auto‐DR will likely differ. Ultimately, most industrial facilities will balance the real and perceived risks associated with Auto‐DR against the potential for economic gain through favorable pricing or incentives. Auto‐DR, as with any ongoing industrial activity, will need to function effectively within market structures.

"Do the right thing. It will gratify some people and astonish the rest. "
Haute Cuisine: This chocolate mousse hails from Brazil
This light, airy and delicious confection is a variation of a dessert born in France in the 1600s, following the introduction of Spanish hot chocolate.
The recipe typically starts with melted chocolate into which hand-whipped heavy cream is gently folded. Then pastry chef and Cordon Bleu alumna Beatriz Ramos adds her own touch with cornstarch cookies, which she crushes and presses with a spoon onto the bottom and sides of a tart pan. She pours the chocolate mousse over the crushed cookies and refrigerates the dessert for at least six hours. The result, said Ramos, is "chocolate heaven."
To dress it up a bit, you can top each slice with a dollop of whipped cream and a dusting of peanut flour. But, Ramos cautioned, the key is the mousse, which should dance across your tongue on little chocolate feet, with one's taste buds undistracted by anything else.

It used to be that the very real connection between stress and physical health was pooh-poohed.
It was soft science. A silly theory that researchers, scientists and doctors didn't believe. They wanted concrete evidence. Proof.
That was then.
Now, nearly three decades of solid research have elevated the status of the mind-body connection. Doctors understand that stress affects pretty much every aspect of our health.
Ronald Glaser, director of the Institute for Behavioral Medicine Research at Ohio State University Medical Center, has been at the forefront of many of the breakthroughs.
The institute has 21 faculty members across a number of disciplines and has captured $194 million in research grants since it was founded in 1996.
Research in Glaser's own labs has found that:
• Medical students given hepatitis B vaccines during exams - when stress is rampant - produce fewer antibodies to fight off infection than during periods of less stress.
• Exam-related stress reactivates long-dormant Epstein-Barr virus in medical students.
• Adult caregivers of relatives with Alzheimer's - one of the most-stressed groups that researchers can study - have elevated levels of immune-system proteins (Interleukin-6) that put them at greater risk of disease, including type 2 diabetes and certain cancers. Their bodies also produce fewer antibodies to combat flu and pneumococcal vaccines during periods of stress.
• Stress slows wound healing.
• Cells that cause nasopharyngeal carcinoma (a type of nose and throat cancer) and ovarian cancer, among others, have receptors that can feed off our body's stress hormones.
Glaser was in the camp in the early 1980s that didn't believe that stress affected the immune system.
"We weren't taught that in medical school. My training was that the only thing that could affect the immune system was a pathogen - bacteria or a virus," he said. "Certainly not stress, my goodness."
Science has since taught him otherwise, and medical schools these days teach the mind-body connection, he said.
Now, his OSU institute is years into a project studying the effects of stress on breast-cancer survivors.
After a body heals itself, the levels of its infection-fighting proteins (called cytokines) should drop.
But in women who have been treated for breast cancer, those levels stay high and cause, among other things, chronic fatigue, Glaser said.
"They are fatigued sitting in their living rooms," Glaser said. "This kind of fatigue makes everyday living seem unbearable sometimes."
So instructors from Yoga on High developed a program for Glaser and his wife and research partner, Janice Kiecolt-Glaser, to study those survivors.
The question is that if their stress levels are lowered and they are nurtured physically, mentally and spiritually, will they feel better and be healthier?
Although the study is ongoing, Yoga on High owner Linda Oshins believes she knows what the results will say.
It's been well-documented, Oshins said, that stress raises your heart rate, interrupts blood flow, affects the digestive system and on and on. Yoga, she said, combats those ill effects.
"When you relax your muscles, you invite your mind to relax, and when that happens, you invite your body to work properly and to heal," she said.
Dr. Bruce Rabin, a professor of pathology, psychiatry and psychology at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, is considered a leading authority on the connection between stress and the immune system.
Now, as medical director of the Healthy Lifestyle Program at the university's medical center, he focuses on changing behavior.
"You cannot eliminate stress, so you have to learn to cope and change your body's response," Rabin said.
He preaches the benefits of a healthy lifestyle: eat right, exercise, don't smoke, laugh, socialize.
And he teaches practical coping strategies to reduce stress: deep breathing, chanting, expressive writing.
By now, Rabin said, the mind-body connection is accepted as fact, and people understand that stress really does affect physical health.
Getting people to do something about it, however, is another matter.
"Doctors talk about stress and what you can do about it, but people say, 'Look doc, I didn't come here for a lecture. I want you to just give me a pill,'" Rabin said.
"In the end, it's about personal responsibility and what we're willing to do to be healthy."

Denis Paradis Brome—Missisquoi, QC
Mr. Speaker, today the City of Cowansville is preparing to pay tribute to an admirable woman who has made a great contribution to public life and to the people of Brome—Missisquoi: Gabrielle Bertrand.
From now on, the Cowansville library will bear her name, and will be known as Bibliothèque Gabrielle Giroux-Bertrand, in honour of this woman who has given so much of herself to the life and culture of the community.
Having the honour of knowing this great lady, I will never forget her determination, humanity, dignity and integrity.
I congratulate the city of Cowansville for this initiative and I have no doubt that Gabrielle Bertrand will continue to be a source of inspiration for all those who have had the privilege of contact with her.
The Liberal Party Of Canada
Statements By Members

Leon Benoit Lakeland, AB
Mr. Speaker, as we apparently get into an election campaign after less than three and a half years since the last election, let us look at the Liberals' record on keeping promises.
On taxes, they promised to cut, to scrap, to abolish the GST. They did not. They did deliver 50 tax increases in the last five years alone. For the past three years they have promised tax relief, but have members looked at their pay stubs lately?
On the environment, they promised legislation to protect endangered species and they failed three times.
On agriculture, they promised farmers $1.9 billion to compensate for losses due to unfair trade. They have delivered 42%.
On crime, they promised to overhaul the Young Offenders Act. After seven years they have failed again.
In fact, the biggest crime of all is that this government thinks Canadians will believe their hollow promises again.
Government Of Quebec
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Guy St-Julien Abitibi, QC
Mr. Speaker, "Le barrage de la honte", or "Dam of Shame", is the heading journalist Robert Ménard of the Journal de Montréal gave to his article of October 15, 2000, in which he described how the government of Lucien Bouchard, through its ministers Paul Bégin, Rémy Trudel and Jean-Pierre Jolivet, gave permission to the American company Bowater Pulp and Paper to demolish the Sugar Loaf dam. This dam, "Pain de sucre" in French, was in the Clova sector of the Vallée-de-l'Or RCM and was demolished without public consultation.
Now the Clova River is a total ecological disaster, a graveyard of logs that were being floated down river and are now just stranded there.
Such is the accomplishment of these three PQ ministers on the payroll of the multimillionaire company Bowater, which does not give a damn about Quebec's environment.
Statements By Members

Tony Ianno Trinity—Spadina, ON
Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the leader of the NDP for all the mail she has recently sent me and my constituents: two letters and a brochure.
She has sent thousands of pieces of mail to my neighbours. Many have complained about it.
I know that the NDP is scurrying but it should be honest in dealing with the dilemma it faces. Her junk mail claims that privatization of health care threatens Canadian families. We agree. How can the NDP leader claim that an additional $21 billion from the federal government will privatize health care?
The three NDP premiers strongly supported the health care agreement. In fact, they demanded it. Is she accusing her NDP colleagues of threatening Canadian families? If the NDP leader is going to send junk mail, she should at least make sure that she does not trash a health care agreement that all three NDP premiers enthusiastically support. She should be consistent and responsible. She should decide whether to stand with her NDP premiers or stand for opportunism.
Canadian International Development Agency
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Gurmant Grewal Surrey Central, BC
Mr. Speaker, the auditor general has again slammed the Liberal government for its mismanagement of CIDA.
It has been the same old story about CIDA since 1993. Half of the contracts over $100,000 were non-competitive. There was an $8.5 million sole source contract for the Ivory Coast without the approval document signed by the minister. There was a $6.4 million sole source contract for the Chinese dam project. No other Canadian firms were allowed to compete. There was a contract for $13 million to reform Mali's income tax system without the required conditions and expertise in place, and a $4.7 million non-competitive contract in Mali, again without the needed reforms in place. CIDA gave 3,000 contracts of over $25,000 to individuals, including pensioned public servants, lacking treasury board approval.
The weak, arrogant Liberal government has no credibility when it comes to managing Canadian tax dollars. Canadian workers will hold the Liberals accountable at the ballot box. The Liberals cannot be trusted to help the poorest of the poor.
The Late Right Hon. Pierre Elliot Trudeau
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Hec Clouthier Renfrew—Nipissing—Pembroke, ON
Mr. Speaker, today would have been the birthday of perhaps Canada's greatest political icon, Pierre Elliott Trudeau.
I am proud to say that Mr. Trudeau and I share the same birthday, October 18. I am also proud to say that I am a strong believer in Mr. Trudeau's value system. He cared about all people. He cared about their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights and their civil liberties.
Pierre Trudeau believed that we could not grow as a country if we were burdened by old conflicts and old antagonisms of race against race, region against region, language against language and ego against ego. He inspired us to build a free, fair, just and responsible society. His hope and confidence, his compassion and decency, his understanding and compromise, his style, his intellect and his passion lifted his people and Canada to a higher destiny, a new plateau of excellence.
Thank you, Mr. Trudeau. You are one of the brightest stars in this country's firmament.
Vincent Martel

Richard Marceau Charlesbourg, QC
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to be the host, today and tomorrow here on the Hill, of the MP for a day from Charlesbourg—Jacques-Cartier, Vincent Martel, who will be with us for 24 hours.
Vincent was the big winner in the third MP for a day contest in the riding of Charlesbourg—Jacques-Cartier. He won out over nearly 1,200 secondary IV students.
During his time in Ottawa, Vincent will have an opportunity to get acquainted with what MPs do and to see first hand the hectic lives we lead here on Parliament Hill.
Vincent, who is accompanied by his friend Sably Gagnon, will have the honour of meeting with our leader and all of the members of our caucus.
Mr. Speaker, you will also have an opportunity to speak with this young man tomorrow, before oral question period.
Vincent, on behalf of all of my colleagues in the House of Commons, welcome to Parliament Hill.
Governor General's Award
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Sue Barnes London West, ON
Mr. Speaker, it is with great pride that I rise to congratulate this year's recipients of the Governor General's award in commemoration of the Persons case: Yvonne Bourgeois of New Brunswick, Sonia Bitar of Alberta, Elizabeth Mackenzie of the Northwest Territories, Sabine Sonnemann of Ontario, Cherry Kingsley of British Columbia, and Bindu Dhaliwal of Ontario, who received the youth award, a new award this year.
This past weekend I met with one of the recipients, Ms. Kingsley. She recounted how through most of her young life she lived with addiction, abuse and exploitation. At the age of 22 she reconnected with her first nations roots, taking action by spreading her story and encouraging other young women and youths to tell their stories. In addition to holding conferences, Ms. Kingsley now works as a consultant for the Ontario government on policy matters concerning youth and sexual exploitation within the province. Her efforts are but one example of how to make a positive change for women in our communities.
I thank all those remarkable women.
The Famous Five
Statements By Members
October 18th, 2000 / 2:10 p.m.
Val Meredith South Surrey—White Rock—Langley, BC
Mr. Speaker, 71 years ago today it became official that women were officially persons.
As the monument is unveiled today on Parliament Hill for the Famous Five, I am sure that Emily Murphy, Henrietta Muir Edwards, Louise McKinney, Nellie McClung and Irene Parlby would appreciate the irony of Ottawa as the home of this tribute.
For a dozen years the Famous Five battled Ottawa to get recognized as persons. While the Alberta government ruled that women were indeed persons, in Ottawa five successive Liberal and Conservative federal governments refused to change the law. When the Famous Five got to the supreme court in 1928 they were turned down there as well. It took a 1929 decision from the British privy council to finally declare that women were persons.
As we celebrate the Famous Five's accomplishments today, we need to remember that they achieved what they did despite the federal government, not because of it.
The Famous Five
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Alexa McDonough Halifax, NS
Mr. Speaker, today is an important anniversary for the women of Canada. Seventy-one years ago five formidable women won their long fight to have women recognized as full persons in this land. The Persons case is a landmark victory in the fight for women's equality.
That the achievements of the Famous Five be recognized on Parliament Hill through the dedication of a fabulous monument is fitting. However, the Famous Five would have regarded it as an even more fitting and lasting tribute for the federal government to fulfil the 13 feminist dozen demands to end poverty and violence against women.
This week tens of thousands of women from across Canada marched on Parliament Hill calling for urgent action. Nellie McClung once said "No nation rises higher than its women". It is my hope that this government will heed that message and finally take steps to advance true justice and equality for all of the women of Canada.
Member For Laval East
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Maud Debien Laval East, QC
Mr. Speaker, last week, I told voters in Laval East that I will not seek a third mandate at the next election.
I thank the people from my riding for having put their trust in me twice. I believe I carried out my mandate by representing them with dignity, by expressing their concerns and by protecting their interests and those of all Quebecers.
I also wish to pay tribute to my party, my leader and my colleagues. I can assure them of my support in the process that I am sure will lead to Quebec's sovereignty.
My time in this House gave me an opportunity to meet members from all parties and to have fruitful discussions and debates with them.
To you, Mr. Speaker, who tried to keep our debates civil, I say thank you.
To my family, whom I really missed and without whom I would not have been able to pursue this demanding vocation, I say "Faites du feu dans la cheminée, je reviens chez nous".
Member For Northumberland
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Christine Stewart Northumberland, ON
Mr. Speaker, I thank you for recognizing me in the House today for what I believe might well be my last opportunity. I want to tell the House today what a privilege and honour it has been to serve in this place over the last 12 years, to serve the constituents of my constituency, Northumberland, and in fact to serve all of the people of this wonderful land, my beloved Canada.
My prayer is that all of my colleagues here today, and those who come here in the decades ahead, will have the wisdom, the charity and the generosity of spirit to continue to serve all of the people of this country and all regions of this country.
Everyone here knows that members of parliament do not come here on their own merit but with the support of many others. I wish to take this opportunity to thank, first and foremost, all of my constituents. I want to thank all of my loyal staff who have served me so well over the years. Of course I want to thank all of my colleagues and the Prime Minister here in this House. Most of all, I want to thank my dear family, some of whom are present in the House today, my children, Douglas, John and Catherine, and of course my beloved and very loving husband, David.

Progressive Conservative
Elsie Wayne Saint John, NB
Mr. Speaker, on this day 71 years ago, the privy council of Great Britain made an historic decision that women were in fact persons under the law.
This decision was the result of the tireless efforts of five Canadian women: Emily Murphy, Nellie McClung, Henrietta Muir Edwards, Louise McKinney and Irene Parlby.
As the House is well aware, this morning we honoured these Canadian heroes with a monument of statues benefiting the importance of their contribution to this great country, but perhaps the greatest tribute to these courageous patriots is that today we have a woman governor general, a woman chief of staff of the supreme court and many women in the House of Commons and the government's cabinet.
I am proud to serve with the right hon. member for Kings—Hants who, as prime minister, made it a priority to continue and enhance work which these brave women began 50 years before him.
In remembering the great accomplishments of the famous five, we must never forget to thank those who have followed in their footsteps.
Auditor General's Report
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
Canadian Alliance
Stockwell Day Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, the auditor general's report, one of the most scathing in recent memory, talks about one department alone wasting and mismanaging something like $3 billion per year.
In one year, $3 billion would hire 4,000 doctors, 4,000 nurses and purchase 500 MRIs.
The auditor general goes on to say that apparently whatever has been put in place to supposedly fix the problem in fact is probably not adequate.
If the Prime Minister will not even fix the problem, will he at least apologize to Canadians for this?

13406 E. Philadelphia St. Whittier, CA 90608
Why did you choose Whittier?
I really liked the liberal education I could get here, like taking courses not in my major. Some of my favorite classes weren't even in the math major, like archeology or Dr. Morris's amazing JanTerm course on The Lord of the Rings. The result is I got to know the school as a whole and not just my department, even though I know my department really well. So overall I feel more well-rounded.
What's something you discovered about Whittier that might not be apparent on the surface?
It is the relationship between students and professors. It's very supportive and you can always approach them. When you first come in you're really nervous, thinking about trying to find friends, etc. But when you engage with professors, they engage you on an equal level. It's very easy to approach them and ask for help.
What advice would you give a new student at Whittier?
I'd definitely say to engage in the community that is Whittier. Get to know your classmates and your professors. The time here goes by really quickly and you don't know how close you're getting to everyone until your junior year. Then you see how much you love it and you have to start thinking about leaving. So enjoy it.
How are you combining math and a Zombie apocalypse?
The idea started junior year when I saw a show on Zombies while I was also doing a math modeling course, and I realized I could model a Zombie epidemic. Math modeling is taking what we know about systems and equations, and applying math to solving real world actual situations. So I talked to my mentor, Professor Lutgen, and he decided we could do this for my Mellon Mays Fellowship, and it has since become my senior project as well. For the project, I study different Zombie situations—like a basic Zombie attack, or one where the virus incubates for a while, or another where the infected population is quarantined, etc. I also looked at the stability of the system and whether I could find a case where Zombies and humans can live together.
I had a lot of freedom with this project. And even though it is unconventional in the math sense, it still had the basic core of what I needed, and it was kind of fun. I was nervous to propose this at first but my professors saw merit in it, merit
I didn't even see up front. They've been very supportive and really got behind the project. What I hope to do is to model real life cities like Los Angeles, taking intoaccount the density of the population. It makes it more realistic and hypothetical. And this can be applied to other diseases like HIV/AIDS, influenza, or West Nile.

CARDIFF, Wales - As the USA Men's National Team prepares for its third and final game of the Wales portion of their tour, they do so knowing they have one more chance to come away with victory. After suffering yet another two losses in the opening games of the series, Team USA looks to rebound Monday afternoon in Cardiff.
The first game of the three game set started on even terms as the teams looked well matched. However, in the 9th minute Wales took advantage of a penalty corner opportunity and quickly took the lead 1-0 in the early going. Team USA would keep the deficit at one with their defense throughout most of the half but was unable to capitalize on any of their offensive circle penetrations. Wales would strike again in the 33rd minute when they sent an outlet pass across the field, which was quickly passed into the offensive circle for a deflection shot that went past goalkeeper Kevin Segeren giving Wales a 2-0 lead heading into the half.
The USA defense tightened up in the second half but the two goal deficit would be too much as the USA offense simply could not find the goal in the first match of the series. As time expired, Wales walked away with a 2-0 victory leaving Team USA with another loss on their UK Tour.
With a little more than 12 hours between games, the men's field hockey team from America found themselves back on the pitch Saturday morning to meet Wales for game two of their three game matchup. With the prospect of fighting off fatigue after 22 days of traveling, the men from the US had trouble dealing with the high-pressure attack from Wales and conceded six goals throughout the match. Though they scored three goals themselves it would be the mental errors that would give Wales open looks at the goal throughout the match and the 6-3 victory to take game 2 of the series.
With Sunday having served as a rest day for the boys from the States, Game 3 looks to be a competitive match with Team USA looking for the win! As always, check facebook and the USA Field Hockey website for updates and let's get one for USA!!!

Shipments of Wi-Fi-enabled cellular handsets will double in volume by the end of 2010, compared to January 2008, and that growth curve is expected to continue through 2013, according to a report by ABI Research market tracking agency. But there are obstacles for local wireless network technology too.
"This past year there has been an explosion of Wi-Fi capable phones. Due to operator and customer demand, and handset manufacturers trying to deliver more product value, Wi-Fi is quickly becoming 'table stakes' for smartphones," said analyst Michael Morgan.
This data, contained in a new ABI Research study, shows how driven by increasing consumer awareness and demand, new operator business models, and increased value for handset manufacturers, Wi-Fi technology will continue to penetrate deeper into mobile handsets over the next five years.
The user's experience appears to be critical in handset Wi-Fi adoption. While Nokia leads the market in Wi-Fi-enabled handsets due to the sheer volume of its portfolio, Wi-Fi models only represent a small fraction of the range. In contrast, every Apple iPhone has Wi-Fi, and due to its ease of use and the seamless iTunes experience, more iPhone users – as many as 75% – are using their Wi-Fi regularly. Contrasting again, HTC's handset lineup is 80% Wi-Fi-equipped, but only 10% of its users are employing the Wi-Fi capability.
Despite the rosy outlook, Mr. Morgan cautions, there are challenges to Wi-Fi's growth.
"One obstacle is the glacial pace of IEEE standardization in the areas that address voice over Wi-Fi usage. Another is the growing carrier interest in femtocells (a small cellular base station, typically designed for use in residential or small business environments). While they have their problems, femtocells do provide an alternative to improving in-building coverage without the need for Wi-Fi capable handsets. Although Wi-Fi access points are already installed in many homes and business, the carriers may ultimately push to have femtocells installed at these key locations," said Mr. Morgan.
Rather rapid growth of WiMAX coverage is also a threat to Wi-Fi.
In Wi-Fi's favor: as flat rate data plans increase, wireless operators can leverage Wi-Fi capable handsets to offload data intensive applications, improve in-building coverage, and offer new services to new markets.

Trial date set in bar fight
By NIKKI YOUNK
Staff Writer
FLORENCE, Wis. – A jury trial has been set for a Norway woman accused of biting another woman during a bar fight in Aurora, Wis.
Alicia Jean Trottier, 23, will go to trial on Aug 19 for one felony count of substantial battery, one misdemeanor count of battery, and one misdemeanor count of disorderly conduct.
If convicted, she could spend up to three and a half years in prison.
The charges stem from a March 5 incident.
Trottier is accused of pulling a woman's hair and biting her in the face and chest. The woman went to Dickinson County Memorial Hospital for treatment of a bite to her right cheek and scratch marks.
In other Florence County Court action:
– A bench warrant has been filed for Peter V. Colburn, 32, of Iron Mountain for failure to appear for an initial appearance on a felony burglary charge.
If convicted of the burglary charge, he could spend up to 12 and a half years in prison.
Colburn is accused of stealing a power washer, chainsaw, and a wood splitter from a storage unit in Florence in 2012.
– William Edward Fyvie, 27, of Kingsford has been ordered to pay a $1,000 fine for a possession of marijuana charge that was reduced from a felony to a misdemeanor as part of a plea deal.
He had originally been charged with one felony count of possession of marijuana-second or subsequent offense and one misdemeanor count of possession of drug paraphernalia.
The second count was dismissed.
Fyvie's charges stem from a May 26 incident in Homestead, Wis.
According to the criminal complaint in the case, a Florence County Sheriff's Department deputy pulled over a vehicle in which Fyvie was a passenger.
The deputy had pulled the vehicle over for expired registration decals, but he initiated a vehicle search after he noticed that the occupants had alcohol on their breaths and red eyes.
A search of the vehicle revealed a smoking device and several plastic bags of marijuana.
Fyvie admitted to the deputy that the items were his.

Jets offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer readily admits that quarterback Brett Favre has gone more to a short passing game in recent weeks, but he insists a post pattern to wide receiver Laveranues Coles -- even with safety help over the top -- is still in the playbook.
Over the past four games, the Jets have gone to a short passing game that has produced five touchdowns and just two interceptions while averaging 35.2 points.
Favre has completed 79 of 103 passes (76.6 percent) for 816 yards in those games. Just six completions have been for 20 or more yards.
"We say it all the time, it's game-plan specific," Schottenheimer said Friday. "You look at Tennessee, very good pass rush, very good football team with Kyle Vanden Bosch, (Albert) Haynesworth, (Jevon) Kearse and all those guys, it lends itself to trying to push the ball fast.
"Plus, a lot of people now are having to load up the box to try to stop the run, they're putting eight and nine guys up there so you can push it a little bit faster on the outside. Again, we have the plays to go up the field."
In the Jets' 34-13 victory over the Titans, Favre had only one completion of 20 or more yards in 32 attempts.
Schottenheimer insists that each game his play-call sheet has everything at the ready and the flow of the game dictates which way he decides to go.
"When the games get going, (you call) the plays that are working," he said. "The philosophy hasn't changed, it's just that we've been executing the short passing game very, very well and that's a credit to the players."
Even so, it's hard to believe that the Jets' decision to go to a short passing game wasn't based, in part, of Favre's interceptions. He had a stretch of seven interceptions in a four-game span prior to the change in play-calling.
And there has been another change in the offense. Schottenheimer has drastically reduced the different shifts and motions that were his trademark in his first two seasons. Instead, he has gone to an uptempo, more stationary offense in which the Jets are dictating the pace of the game with their balanced attack.
As a result, the Jets (8-3) are on a roll, having won five straight and seven of eight entering Sunday's game against the Broncos (6-5) at Giants Stadium.
And as the Jets offense has gone to another level, so too has the relationship between Favre and Schottenheimer. The pair aren't exactly finishing each other's sentences, but they no longer have to wear name tags in meetings.
The Brett Favre experiment that started in August has now produced the league's second-highest scoring team (323 points) and the Jets are on pace to shatter their franchise record of 419 points, set in 1968.
"I've always been very comfortable with Brett," Schottenheimer said. "There has always been that fact that as you go further and further down the road, down the season, there are things you begin to anticipate.
"Where you had to talk about things in the past, now you're able to solve it between each other. You don't even have to discuss it. I don't know if you call it in the zone. We're playing pretty well. We have a very good feel for one another."

The notion of less motion and the long ball game better be in his bag of tricks if he wants to get to the super bowl and win.
I feel that stuckey is going to have a good game here because you have to respect Coles,Cotch,Miller so Stucky may be the X factor .
Still where is Clowney ?

Skip to comments.Issa says committee could consider holding Lerner in contempt next week
Posted on 03/05/2014 7:07:17 PM PST by Red Steel
California Republican Rep. Darrell Issa told Fox News Wednesday his House committee could move as early as next week to consider holding former IRS official Lois Lerner in contempt.
Lerner refused earlier in the day to testify on her role in the agencys targeting of Tea Party and other conservative groups.
Her decision to plead the Fifth Amendment marked the second time in 10 months that she asserted her constitutional right not to testify before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Affairs.
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said of her refusal, at some point Lerner must testify or be held in contempt.
Our committee will consider it, Issa, the committee chairman, told Fox News Greta Van Susteren on On the Record.
We could consider it as early as next week.
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
Why wait?
Issa: Where scandals go to die.
Issa talks exclusively to Greta about today's hearing; Will consider holding Lerner in contempt
I wonder, wonder, wonder when.....when will "talking the talk" become "walking the walk"?......
....I'm still wondering, but have decided not to hold my breath whilst I wait and wonder.
Not holding my breath. The pubbies will wimp out. Even if they held her in contempt, Obama and Holder will pull a 'never mind' Jedi mind trick, and the sissypants won't want to be called racists by bucking them...
Why next week?
Why not LAST MONTH?
How many more must be assaulted by corrupt government
because the EXEMPT Congress is too busy, too selfserving,
and too treasonous??
If memory serves, he said almost the exact same thing last year.
By the way, whatever happened to Sheriff Joe's "earthshaking revelations?"
I'm sure there's no pattern here.
Damn it NOT could - should!!!!!
Youtube clip:
"Issa: We May Hold Lois Lerner in Contempt As Early As Next Week"
He's pissing off the Pope.
I am tired of these weaklings.
Dead End Darrell strikes again! (...and again, and again, and...)
Consider? Get it done!
Testimony to Issa would be the easy way. An angry citizen, unhappy with the way their taxes are spent may grab her and impose more leftist tactics to make her sing like a canary. Myself, I would not hold back at the incremental increase in force against this certain criminal communist. The muslims that Zero worships know how to do head chopping. Is turnabout not fair play?
>> Issa: Where scandals go to die.
Darrell the Defuser.
Issa is a POS and complicit. He proved it today. He has done nothing but drag out these dog and pony shows with no results.
Couldn't it be Boehner that is tying Issas hands?
I know everyone wants to blame Issa, but without the Leadership, what chance has he got?
Boehner has shown he will cut off a republican at the knees long before he ever would would a guilty 'rat.
I'm not defending Lerner, just asking a question here: If she has a legal right to take the fifth, how can she be held in contempt?
If he were any kind of a leader he'd do his job and hand it to Bhoner on a stick. What Bhoner does or does not do is them up to him. But Issa is playing politics at a great cost to the Constitution.
If she has a legal right to take the fifth, how can she be held in contempt?
The oversight committee held a hearing on June 28: Videos of the hearing available :
June 28, 2013 Full Committee Business Meeting Part I
June 28, 2013 Full Committee Business Meeting Part II
Gowdy only - 6 min
LERNER: Rep. Gowdy - Full Committee Business Meeting
Oversight Committee: Lerner Waived Her 5th Amendment Right
On a vote of 22-17, the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee today approved a resolution determining that IRS official Lois Lerner waived her 5th amendment rights when at a May 22, 2013 hearing she offered testimony and answered questions.
America demands Justice for the Fallen of Benghazi!
What happened during Lerner's IRS hearing? ELIJAH CUMMINGS HAD AN OUTBURST, BLAMING REPUBLICANS!!!!
The GUILTY Dems really know how to grab the headlines by engaging in 'Diversionary Tactics 101'. Notice how Lerner stuck around during Cummings' outburst instead of leaving? That was the plan all along.
When you're GUILTY, have an OUTBURST!!!
Unless there is serious threat of actual federal prosecution and real jail time, no one from the regime will give up any information. Holder, Reid and bohner hold all the cards.
Kabuki theater.
just like holder was held in contempt of congress ?
that sure accomplished a lot didn't it ?
congressional hearings are political theater and do nothing.
how about let's see a federal grand jury empaneled to start handing out indictments ?
the obozo regime is the most corrupt administration in American history and we have seen how many indictments up until now ?
DON"T "COULD", Just do it damn it.
Hold Lerner in Contempt and send her ass to jail, along with any other IRS official who refuses to testify.
Also ask for a federal grand jury to investigate obstruction of congress and obstruction of justice charges.
Time to quit holding hearings unless you subpoena everyone in the IRS who had any contact with the suppression of conservative groups' tax-exempt application efforts.
Hand out subpoenas like candy, line them up in the halls, make all their names and job descriptions public, put them under oath, and then act like the Roto-Rotor Man, and "Drill, Baby, Drill".
Let the American public know who their enemies are, even if they take the Fifth. By the end of these hearings, they will be drinking the Fifth.
Offer immunity to the first 5 people who take it. Then go after the rest. Let the rats piss in their panties.
Do not bluff. Play hard ball and hit their balls out of the hearing room, along with their careers. Go after the IRS Inspector General too. If they haven't done their job, subpoena their ass too.
Time to put away the toys and bring out the lumber.
"Our committee will consider it"
Translation: It ain't gonna happen.
Next week? ZZzzzzz.
And then what? Nothing? Just like with Holder?
Find Lerner in contempt and then arrest both Lerner and Holder.
So you mean if Lerner testified before, then she's not able to ever claim the 5th?
Also people are criticizing Darrel Issa a lot here, but what else could he have done in today's testimony other than continue to read each of his revealing questions for the public record. She then declared the 5th every time, but I just don't know how he could have done better. Or who would have done better under these circumstances?
She's a swamp rat just like all the other dishonest DemoRat thugs.
If Issa holds her in contempt, will the rest of the Republican reps back him up and throw her in jail?
Otherwise just shut down all your phony "investigations" and go away.
Issa adjourned for obvious reasons, but also wanted to adjourn before democrats could do what Cummings did. The dems have been vicious in these hearings.
I don't know what else he could have done - unless he held the contempt hearing right then (not sure on procedures). He may have known that Cummings was agitated before the hearing started.
Keep in mind Cummings was named in ethics charges on this very issue. He sent 3 letters to Catherine Engelbrecht and she filed a complaint.
Gowdy knows how to get Lerner to talk...
From the Kelly file 3.5.14
IRS Scandal - Republicans Consider Measures To Force Fmr IRS Official To Testify - Trey Gowdy
Why wait??
That's a big time problem with Congress - they wait, and wait, and wait and in time everything blows over and justice is once again denied.
If you have a case, just do it, and do it now!!!
Take your time, brah.
I mean, it ain't like none of this is important or anything, yo.
If found in Contempt the person can be arrested under a warrant of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, by the Sergeant at Arms.

Its time for whistleblowers to step up./sarcasm The GESTAPO has its own program (its not what you might think) with rewards...
and goes after other whistleblowers exposing government ineptitude, corruption, and fraud
IRS - long history of scandal
DISMANTLE socialist/totalitarian agencies.
The U.S.A. (United Socialists of America) has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
UNaccountable bureaucrats (socialists) and CONgre$$ work for US. Lois Lerner? Roadkill/speedbump for a FReedom rider.
Intimidation, taxation and confiscation WITHOUT REPRESENTATION.
Either poop ir get off the pot, issa. Do you really think you hold any credibility in your ability to get any job done?
Next week? Today's Wednesday, how about Wednesday? She belongs in jail now.
IMO if you work for the government and you are asked about something to do with your job, you should not be allowed to take the 5th.

Toshiba Corp. has unveiled two new enterprise-class hard disk drives (HDDs) with 15 000rpm spindle speed. The new HDDs utilize one of latest generation perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) platters and thus deliver higher performance than predecessors. In fact, Toshiba's new MK-series products are the industry's first 15K enterprise-class hard drives to use platters of new density.
The Toshiba MK01GRRB/R-series enterprise-grade hard disk drives are available in 147GB and 300GB capacities and utilize SAS 6Gb/s interface. Thanks to 15 000 revolutions per minute (rpm) spindle speed, average latency of the drives is 2.7ms/3.0ms for read/write operations. Thanks to the new PMR platters with areal density of 455.2Gb/in2 (Gb per square inch), the new 2.5" drives are the world's first 15K rpm HDDs to achieve 298MB/s internal transfer rate. Operating power consumption of the drives is 4.3W - 4.5W.
As part of its commitment to improved security, the Toshiba MK01GRRR drive features self-encryption technology designed to the Trusted Computing Group (TCG) "Enterprise SSC" specification. SED technology provides simple and complete data security throughout the drive's usable life cycle – with no performance impact – and enables organizations to crypto-graphically erase protected data securely, enabling the ability to return, service, repurpose, or retire drives without lengthy data overwrite operations or physical destruction of the drive.
"Enterprise customers are increasingly satisfying their performance and capacity needs with power efficient small form factor drives.
