Expect NHL players to get off to slow start
NHL games should begin Saturday after a 113-day lockout by the owners in a collective bargaining agreement dispute.
That's the good news.
The bad news is, the first couple of weeks of play – maybe longer – will be brutal. Don't expect any scintillating play.
NHL clubs will have less than a week of organized practice before the puck is dropped for games that count.
Normally, training camps go three to four weeks, with teams playing a half-dozen preseason games to get ready for the regular season.
Not all of a team's players skate in every preseason game, of course. Farmhands get a lot of ice time and a strong look to see what talent they have and how they might fit into a team's future plans.
But players destined to make the regular season roster see enough work to get in reasonably good shape and to hone their skills.
That won't be the case now.
Sure, some NHL players have been skating on their own for several weeks. It's not the same as organized practice with teammates, but it's something.
And there have been several players who have skated for teams in Europe while the lockout continued.
The Detroit Red Wings' Pavel Datsyuk was one such player. He played 31 games for CSKA Moscow, scoring 11 goals and recording 25 assists.
Once he returns, and everyone in the Wings' organization is certain he will shortly, Datsyuk should be in great game shape to start the abbreviated NHL season.
But there will also be many players who have only skated on their own since the end of the 2011-12 season. It's not the same as reacting to game situations and playing with a high level of skill.
NHL commissioner Gary Bettman is already apologizing for the lockout and the "tough decisions" he – through the league's owners – felt he had to make.
It would be nice if the sports' fans would at least make a symbolic gesture of their displeasure over what went on for so many months. An empty stadium or two for games once the season starts would be nice.
But the fans will eventually come back. They did twice before, when lockouts limited the 1995 season to 48 games and wiped out the entire 2004-05 campaign.
They just couldn't help themselves. Either that, or they don't care about lengthy lockouts.
"The players are ready to play their hearts out for you, the teams are preparing to welcome you back with open arms, the wait is just about over," Bettman said in a report to fans last week.
That may be true. Just don't expect the quality of play to be anywhere near where it should be for at least the first few weeks.

Another follow-up from an item posted here earlier: The Catholic Spirit in St. Paul, Minn., has announced the winners of its "Pay It Forward for Lent" contest. But instead of three winners being entrusted with $100 each to grow during Lent, the contest ended up with six winners, thanks to a donor who wanted to remain anonymous. The winning ideas range from having children fill 100 M&M tubes with quarters, to second-graders who would make and sell Easter crafts with the $100 seed money and give the proceeds to Catholic Charities.

Chocolaterian Cafe Serves Sweet and Savory Treats
The candy-store-meets-cafe is right at home in the Schenk-Atwood neighborhood
By Dan Curd
Patinated surfaces give the illusion that it's been here forever. Antique molds from a long-gone Baraboo candy store grace its rich red walls. A solitary tin sign advertising police apparel reveals that not that long ago a business that sold uniforms inhabited this space. Now in the best Parisian tradition, it's a chocolate shop with steaming cups of cocoa, decadent desserts and hand-made confectionary. Since it is a café, Chocolaterian serves light meals—daily quiche, sandwich and soup specials—as well as wine by the glass. A welcome addition to the Schenk-Atwood neighborhood, it would be equally at home on the Left Bank.

June 29, 2009 WIC Update
SUBJECT 1: WIC MICA Data by Agency
SUBJECT 2: Infant Formula Rebate Contract Awarded
SUBJECT 3: Printing MOWINS Checks Upside Down
SUBJECT 4: Missouri Beef Industry Council Mailing
SUBJECT 5: Elevated Blood Lead Levels
- WIC MICA Data by Agency: This is a reminder of a tool that that we first told LWPs about in 2006 that can help you analyze data about your participants. This data allows the user to create and download tables, based on selected variables such as age, education and Medicaid (MOHealthNet) status from the following files: Prenatal, Postpartum, Prenatal/Postpartum, Infant and Child. The data is available at WIC MICA. In case you no longer have the user name and password, we will send them to the WIC Coordinator by e-mail on July 6, 2009. (Because of confidentiality issues, it is necessary to make this data available only to LWPs, not the general public and not staff in your agency who do not work in WIC. On some queries only one individual will show. Based on the characteristics that were entered, someone may be able to figure out who this person is. Do not share the user ID and password with others outside of your agency or those in your agency for non-WIC purposes.) The data you will see are WIC MICAs that are comparable to the WIC MICAs that have been available for several years at MICA, with one big difference. The data is presented by agency also, not only by county as in the past. The data will be your participants' data, regardless of where they live. On the left side tool bar on the WIC MICA home page, you will see links to Definitions, Documentation and a Tutorial/Demo. These links will assist you in better understanding the data.
If you have questions, contact Mark Davis at email@example.com or 573-526-5323 or 800-392-8209.
- Infant Formula Rebate Contract Awarded: Missouri has awarded its infant formula rebate contract that begins October 1, 2009 to Mead Johnson Nutritionals (MJN). USDA requires all states to have an infant formula rebate contract for milk and soy-based formulas. MJN is our current rebate contractor; their contract ends September 30, 2009. The new contract is for a three (3) year period with possible renewals after that time. Since our computer system is already set up with the MJN formulas and our participants and local WIC provider staff is familiar with the MJN products, it is nice to not have to make any changes. Of course we will continue to allow the exempt formulas and medical foods from the other formula manufacturing companies, Abbot Labs/Ross, Nestle, Nutricia and PBM. Many of you have inquired about Enfamil Premium. This new MJN formula is on the formula rebate contract that begins October 1, 2009. We will not issue Enfamil Premium until October 1, 2009. We will be sending to you the list of contract rebate formulas when we receive it from MJN. If you have questions, please contact your District TA Nutritionist.
- Printing MOWINS Checks Upside Down: We have just been notified from some vendors that they have received MOWINS checks that have been printed upside down. This creates a huge problem for the WIC vendors, the WIC banking contractor and the WIC participants. Please take extra care in looking at the checks before giving them to the WIC participants. When looking at the check, on the bottom right hand side of the check (when printed correctly) there is a long vertical green line. If this line is anyplace else on the check except in this location, you have the check paper in the printer incorrectly and the check will not be printed correctly. You must stop and put the check paper in the printer the correct way. If you have any questions, please contact Larry Rutledge at email@example.com or 800-392-8209.
- Missouri Beef Industry Council Mailing: Nutrition education materials from the Missouri Beef Industry Council will be arriving (or may already have arrived) in the mail for each local WIC provider in Missouri. They are addressed to the attention of the nutrition coordinator. You will receive a set of materials for your main site and each satellite site (all mailed to the main site). Our thanks to the Missouri Beef Industry Council for the participant education posters and handouts. If you have questions, please contact your District TA Nutritionist.
- Elevated Blood Lead Levels: When a local WIC provider obtains or receives referral data of an elevated blood lead level of ≥ 10 mcg/dl, the abnormal blood lead level shall be entered into MOWINS for Risk Factor 211 to be automatically assigned. The elevated lead level result must be within 12 months of the date of certification or recertification. Certifying staff will assign a food package and provide appropriate referral information to the participant. CPAs and nutritionists will provide guidance on how to reduce exposure to lead through appropriate counseling. If you have questions, please contact your District TA Nutritionist.

Elderly woman found dead in burning North Spokane home
A fast moving house fire has killed an elderly woman in North Spokane.
"It's devastating, it's sad," Wendy Hutsell said.
Hutsell lives next door to the elderly woman and said she did everything she could to save her.
"The smoke was just unbelievable you couldn't breathe and you tried to yell for her and it like choke you out trying to yell for her. So, you try to stick your face out of smoke grab a gasp of oxygen," she addedElderly woman found dead in burning home
The fire started around 7 p.m. Friday night at 6428 N. Smith.
Hutsell said the elderly woman's son, who lives in the same neighborhood, broke down a side door to get in the home. "He asked me to hold the hose and try to get the flames to go down while he went to look for her," Hutsell said.
Hutsell said the smoke was so thick the woman's son was forced out of the home. And, that's when she knew the elderly woman she called "grandma" had died.
"Doesn't seem real and all I could do was hug Roy when he came out because you can't make that pain go away. And, no matter how hard you try to make things to work or to save somebody it doesn't always work and it's sad, it's reality, it's horrible," she said.
Spokane County Fire District 9 is now investigating.
"The bulk of the fire was in the upper level of the home when we arrived, but I do not know the origin at this point and it's under investigation," said Capt. Kevin Von Steuben.

Although Palm Beach's restaurant season heats up in fall, September has quietly become one of the tastiest months of the year. Flavor Palm Beach begins serving dishes September 1 and carries on throughout the month, giving foodies and the epi-curious an opportunity to try special prix-fixe menus featuring three-course meals for lunch ($20) and dinner ($30 or $35) from participating restaurants across the map, from Boca to Jupiter.
Now in its sixth year, Flavor Palm Beach has evolved from a promotional tool for area restaurants during the lean, pre-fall month to a highly anticipated dining event. September has traditionally been a slow month for restaurants in the area—a bit early even for the earliest snowbirds and a hectic time for families struggling to get school year bedtimes back on track. But Flavor changed the paradigm over the past five years, creating an opportunity for diners to expand their culinary horizons with prix-fixe options that won't break the bank. The menu format—three-course meals for less than $40—also allows for chefs to experiment with flavor combinations as they prepare for fall's menu construction. For some restaurants, Flavor Palm Beach has become a preview of sorts for the year to come as kitchens shape and refine new recipes and entrees. Some of the items that have us eagerly waiting for September are III Forks' pretzel-crusted crab cakes, Max's Harvest's kimchee-brasied akaushi shortrib, anything from Chef Lindsay Autry and Sundy House (though the shrimp pappardelle sounds especially tasty), Imoto's curried beef wontons, and the wiener schnitzel from Josef's Table.
2013's installment is set to be a banner year, with 38 restaurants already joining the party as of August 1—and many more to come. To kick-start the month-long dining experience, Palm Beach Motor Cars will host a Grand Tasting on Thursday, September 5. And it's not called "grand" for nothing: Participating restaurants, chefs, sommeliers and mixologists will be on hand offering a sampling of what's in store for diners throughout the county. Among the many delectable bites and inventive sips, the tasting is truly a party, with an array of games, live performances and a silent auction to keep the conversations going, while an ice lounge will cool the scene with a vodka ice luge and plenty of chilled bevvies. What's more, proceeds from the event will benefit Share Our Strength, a national nonprofit dedicated to eradicating childhood hunger in the United States, making this a party with a purpose.
- Tickets for the Grand Tasting cost $55 in advance, $75 at the door.
- The party is set for 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. on Thursday, September 5.
- For more information and to purchase tickets, visit flavorpb.com.
- For a complete listing of participating restaurants, click here.
For guests with children who still want to dine at a fine private club without the wee ones in tow, Flavor and Sandpiper's Cove Restaurant and Bar has you covered. On Thursday, September 19, North Palm's Old Port Cove will host Parents Night Out, a three-course meal for the grown-ups while the kids enjoy dinner and movie elsewhere. The menu features first course choices of ponzu calamari, poached pear salad or lobster bisque; second course choices of pan-seared scallops, grilled chicken paillard, rigatoni bolognese, steak Diane or salmon brûlée; and third course options of a sorbet trio, the cheesecake of the day or warm sour cream fudge cake.
- Reservations are required, and space is limited.
- Call 561-626-2280 for more information and to book your spot.

That a 977-foot tower has gone unnoticed is partly the point. Designed by Japanese architect Fumihiko Maki, 4 World Trade Center has a quiet splendor hidden within its still skin.

Mountains Meet the Desert - Page 2
Race ... February's popular Fleet Feet Arizona Trail Race (fleetfeettucson.com) follows part of the Arizona Trail, which spans the state. After completing the 5.5- or 11-mile Catalina State Park Trail Race (everyoneruns.net), held in April and in September, chow down on warm breakfast burritos and fresh-fruit smoothies and peruse the park's wildlife exhibit including live owls, lizards, snakes and other creatures.
Best Trails ... Western movie fans can run Tucson Mountain Park's Starr Pass Trail to a movie set where many old and recent Westerns have been filmed, including Gunfight at the O.K. Corral and Tombstone. In northeast Tucson, the Catalina Mountains are home to Sabino Canyon (sabinocanyon.org), where you can ascend 7000 feet on several hilly singletrack dwarfed by towering canyon walls. Saguaro National Park East's (nps.gov/sagu) 128 miles of trails range from flat desert (such as the Cactus Forest Trail), where you'll run past scrubs, sea-urchin-like cholla cactus and gigantic saguaro cacti, to mountainous singletrack in the Rincon Mountains. "The terrain is rocky, harsh and summer heat makes it very demanding," says Accetta. Locals love Catalina State Park (pr.state.az.us) on the city's edge, where four main trails split from the trailhead, providing miles of rolling sandy trails.
Go when ... Trails are snow-free all year round, and spring and fall are typically a pleasant 70 or 80 degrees, but temps shoot up to nearly 120 in summer. You'll find cooler temperatures and great trails from the summit of 9000-foot Mount Lemmon, an hour north of Tucson.
Best eats ... Bob Dobbs Bar and Grill (bobdobbs.net) on 6th Street serves double-patty Bob Hamburgers smeared with garlic and Worcestershire sauce—bring breath mints! And don't leave until you carve your name on the wooden table. A heart-healthier breakfast option is Blue Willow Restaurant and Bakery (bluewillowtucson.com), where you can enjoy tofu, mushroom and spinach scramble.
Pitstop ... The Running Shop (runningshopaz.com), Tucson's oldest running store, opened its doors 27 years ago and is a favorite among local runners for gear and networking.
Sleep ... Bed and Bagels of Tucson (bedandbagels.com) is less than eight miles from both Saguaro National Park East and Sabino Canyon. The rooms ($90 and up) feature eclectic art from the owner's extensive world travels. Fido can even stay for a small fee.

Older Release Asus Tablet Models - Complete Listings
Quick Links to Asus Tablets:
Shop Now For Asus Tablets:
There comes a point it time where older Asus tablet models need to come off the navigation menu to make room for the newer tablets. It's also just interesting to see just how far the design and features have come along over the years. Want to know the price of some of these tablets at the time of release date?
This page is where you can get to the information about older or previously released Asus tablets which are not being manufactured anymore. We realize that just because an tablet has been updated with a new model, there are still places you can buy these older models.
I'm sure you still want to compare the older models to the newer models which will help you make a purchase decision. Sometimes you can find used Asus tablets and you still need details and reviews. We hope you enjoy our Asus tablet archive!
A Look Back At Asus Tablets - The Early Beginnings
The year was 2010. Asus has had a special relationship with the Computex trade show and on May 31st, 2010, they used that venue to unveil a couple of their "Eee Pad" tablets. At Computex 2010, Asus showed off the EP121 and EP101TC. These were quite early design concepts, but the innovation continued from that point onwards. These initial Eee Pad tablets were initially priced at $399 to $499, but of course that's the unveil price and not the actual price when they hit the market months after the show. These two tablets were not running Android, but were going to run Windows Embedded Compact 7(EP101TC) and Windows 7 (EP121). Early on, in the months leading up to Computex 2010, the rumors suggested that Asus would be releasing tablets starting July 2010, which ended up to be false. Additionally, there were rumors suggesting that Asus would show off Android tablets at Computex 2010 which also turned out to be false.
In the months following Computex 2010, Asus announced officially on July 26th, 2010, that the EP101TC was going to be the EP101 and would be shipping with Android. Asus also discussed release dates of their tablet line-up. Asus said that after the unveiling at CES 2011, they would release the tablets shortly thereafter. Although the releases were far off, the wait would be worth it in the end.
The rumors and speculation grew in the month leading to January 2011 and the CES 2011 show. On November 26, 2010, rumors surfaced about a 7-inch Android tablet. On December 22nd, Asus released a juicy teaser video for the EP121 tablet, which you can view here. On December 27th, 2010, rumors surfaced that Asus would release a 7-inch tablet and 2 10-inch tablets. One of the 10-inch models was to run Windows 7 with Intel Oak Trail processor and the other 10-inch tablet would run Android and feature the Nvidia Tegra 2 processor.
Apparently Asus couldn't contain themselves with all the excitement. Check out this teaser they released on December 29th, 2010. Here you can see the original tablet names, which included: EP121, EP102, EP101, and EP71. What we didn't realize at the time, is that these were in fact the Eee Slate, Slider, Transformer and MeMO tablets.
The coming out party for the Asus tablets was January 2011 at CES 2011. What a splash indeed! Here is a slide from the Asus presentation at CES 2011.
What you will notice is the scheduled release dates. Unfortunately these dates were quite innacurate. The success of the Transformer certainly played a role into the delays of the Slider and MeMO tablets. The Eee Slate EP121 rolled out first in early 2011 and was a big success for Asus. It was the "world's most powerful tablet" as Asus liked to say and it had a price tag of around $1000 USD. That said, the Eee Slate came with a bluetooth keyboard and case accessories.
The release date of the Asus Transformer was slow. In late March 2011, Taiwan was first to receive the chance to buy the Eee Pad Transformer. The UK was next up and pre orders started in April 2011 with an expected shipping date of June 2011. The Eee Pad Slider SL101 became available for pre orders in September 2011. The MeMO was not widely made available at any point during 2011 and was limited largely to the Asia market.
Asus pushed very hard into the tablet market from the outset. Mid way through 2011, in October, Asus started to tease a new Transformer. It turns out this was the Eee Pad Transformer Prime. In November there was an official unveiling and pre orders started in earnest. Most markets buy November and December had pre orders available for the Transformer Prime.
CES 2012 in January 2012 was yet another blockbuster show for the Asus tablet innovations. Leading up to the show, leaks started to appear about a new 7-inch Android tablet. As it turns out, this was the MeMO ME370T. Asus was unveiling this as the world's first $249 7-inch tablet which was quite a feat at the time. Easily this tablet was the talk of the show. It was the buzz. In fact, this little 7-inches was so dandy, that Google secretly partnered with Asus based on the ME370T to create the first Nexus 7 tablet. Already, even with the Transformer Prime just starting to show up from pre orders, Asus shockingly showed off the updated model, the Transformer Infinity. Considering some people were still waiting on the Prime TF201 pre order to arrive, people we quite perplexed by this new arrival so soon. Asus did not make a big splash with the Transformer Infinity TF700 at CES 2012, and it was a relatively discreet unveiling. It wasn't until late Spring 2012 until the TF700 would be released.
Computex 2012 in June 2012 was one of the biggest Asus unveilings with new tablets and hybrid tablet products. Some of the models included
Every Asus Tablet Released To Date:

Everyone who fulfills a role within the organizational structure of a business must have an unwavering focus on and commitment to this objective: ensuring the long-term health and growth of the organization. Every business owner needs to understand and appreciate that their primary job, their absolute duty as the leader, is seeing to it they've established and determined the overall scope of the business for the long haul and authored a viable and executable "Written Plan" based on their strategic vision.
If you can't state your strategy in a sentence, you don't have one. Authoring a meaningful vision is the least understood yet most important strategy for building a successful business. It is the goal outlining what the organization wants to become at some future point — it clearly defines the enduring core purpose of the organization and is the gauge by which sustainable health and growth is measured.
Whether you're preparing to launch a new business or developing strategies and plans for an existing business, two fundamental beliefs must be reinforced: 1.) The business of a business is to maximize its shareholder value, by increasing its intrinsic value; and, 2.) Maximizing value involves managing the company's short-term performance, as well as its long-term health and growth.
Most business owners I encounter operate day-to-day devoid of any plan that establishes a well-defined course (a roadmap, if you will) for the company's activities and investments.
Many of these same business owners lament about being buried by the press of business and spending most of their time running around putting out fires. How then can a business owner possibly expect that their employees — the stakeholders who are expected to be good stewards of the company's resources and accountable for ensuring the organization achieves its business goals — would automatically know what level of performance is expected?
If you want to gain control of your business and ensure appropriate long-term health and growth, become "Smokey the Bear" — start practicing proactive preventive planning. If you commit to getting the scope, direction and focus of your business lined out today, it will make a huge difference tomorrow. Business strategies founded upon a meaningful vision are the decisions that make you real money and help you dominate your industry within your niche.
Properly planned and managed growth is a good thing — setting clearly defined boundaries so the organization is not overwhelmed by too much growth. Too much growth, too quickly, creates quality issues and financial risks that can destroy brand reputation and kill the company.
Business growth is simply defined within a few main categories: Geographical growth (physical expansion), Resource growth (financial, operational and human resources) and Capacity growth (maximizing resource productivity).
Healthy and sustainable growth happens only when growth of any sort is approached under a certain and well-thought-out Written Plan that ensures the people of the organization have the requisite leadership and tools necessary to do excellent work.
Understand and embrace the definition of success: achieving something that's planned and desired. This purpose might spur you to acknowledge and accept that a goal without a viable plan is nothing more than a wish.
If your desire is to see to it your business live long and prosper, I suggest you set about devising a "Written Strategic Plan" that involves an ultimate focus on: becoming the best you can be within your niche.

I feel weird reading this thread, lot more "shock" from posters I wouldn't have expected. Certainly didn't see myself in the minority, being only slightly surprised at this.
I do think this reeks of a University-wide orchestration. I dont think for a second that Tress didn't let anyone in on this. Mind you it doesn't change much in the situation.
Still all of the same issues in play under that assumption.

Judy Foote Random—Burin—St. George's, NL
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to the Hon. Diane Whalen, a former colleague in the legislature of Newfoundland and Labrador, who passed away on October 3 after a courageous battle with cancer. She is being laid to rest today.
As colleagues in the provincial legislature, I saw Diane work diligently as a member of the House of Assembly and a cabinet minister. She was a woman of strength, tremendous integrity and an individual who garnered the respect of everyone for her work ethic. Although we served on opposite sides of the house, we shared the same objective of wanting to make a difference and there was a mutual respect for how we achieved that goal.
Whether as mayor of Paradise, MHA for Conception Bay East--Bell Island, or as a minister in three government departments, Diane's priority was always to do her best for those she represented and for our province.
All in Newfoundland and Labrador who were fortunate enough to work with Diane can attest to the positive attitude she brought to every task. Even through her battle with cancer, she continued to work when she could, determined to fulfill her responsibilities.
I ask all members of the House to join me in passing along our sincere condolences to Diane's family and friends as we salute this remarkable woman.

Yvon Lévesque Abitibi—Baie-James—Nunavik—Eeyou, QC
Mr. Speaker, during his recent—and first ever—visit to my riding, the leader of the Liberal Party of Canada said that Abitibi needed a voice, not a ghost. And he is right. That is why we cannot understand why he and about 20 of his party colleagues dematerialized in Parliament last Wednesday during the vote on Bill C-308.
The goal of that bill was to improve the lives of the unemployed. So what is the Liberal leader's real plan? Does he hope his party returns to power so it can start diverting money from the employment insurance fund, as it did in the past?
Even with Halloween just around the corner, Abitibi does not need any ghosts, just as unemployed workers do not need any vampires draining their EI fund. In Abitibi—Baie-James—Nunavik—Eeyou, as in the rest of Quebec, the Bloc Québécois has always defended the interests of the unemployed, and we will continue to do so.
Imam Zijad Delic
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Bill Siksay Burnaby—Douglas, BC
Mr. Speaker, I want to pay tribute to a great Canadian leader, Imam Zijad Delic.
Imam Delic is the former imam of the Masjid al-Salaam and Education Centre in Burnaby. He has taught at the B.C. Muslim School and earned a doctorate in education at Simon Fraser University. I was honoured to be present at his convocation. He has worked for the B.C. Muslim Association and currently works for the Canadian Islamic Congress.
Imam Delic is known here at home and internationally for his commitment to interfaith dialogue and peaceful conflict resolution. Like many people in Burnaby, I attended his Islam 101 lectures at the Burnaby mosque. Imam Delic has encouraged women and men, young people and recent immigrants in the Muslim community to take their place in Canadian society.
This week, the Minister of National Defence and the government tarnished the reputation of this good man. The minister must offer a full apology.
Imam Delic is known as "the people's imam". I am proud to know him, to work with him and to call him "my imam".
The Economy
Statements By Members
October 7th, 2010 / 2 p.m.
David Sweet Ancaster—Dundas—Flamborough—Westdale, ON
Mr. Speaker, Canadian families will be gathering this Thanksgiving weekend and there is no doubt the economy will be weighing on their minds. They are reading media stories and watching economic indicators that show the economic recovery remains fragile. They are feeling uneasy. The last thing they can afford right now is a tax increase.
That is why I am pleased that the Minister of Finance has led the way at home and abroad to keep a lid on taxes.
I want to congratulate the Prime Minister and the finance minister for working so hard at the G20 and on the international stage this summer to stop the global bank tax. It would place a crushing and unnecessary burden on our economic recovery.
I am also pleased that the minister announced last week that we will limit potential increases in EI premiums next year; this, despite how badly the EI surplus was raided by the previous government for its pet political projects.
Taxpayers across the land have an advocate in the finance minister, and this government and people in my riding are thankful for it.
Bill Barber Sports Complex

Anthony Rota Nipissing—Timiskaming, ON
Mr. Speaker, on Saturday, September 25, the Municipality of Callander in my riding celebrated the official opening of the Bill Barber Sports Complex.
The municipality's newest recreational facility has been named in honour of Hockey Hall of Famer Bill Barber, a Callander native who maintains close family ties to the community.
The multi-use facility is a roof structure which spans an existing rink surface and will allow for four seasons of sport, leisure and community events on the site.
Callander Mayor Hec Lavigne and council members were joined by Bill Barber at the unveiling ceremony, which included a celebrity ball hockey game with the two-time Stanley Cup winner and several other special guests.
The Bill Barber Sports Complex is an impressive structure and a facility that everyone in the community can take great pride in.
On behalf of all hon. members, I would like to congratulate the Municipality of Callander on the completion and dedication of the Bill Barber Sports Complex. May it bring enjoyment and pleasure to the people of the community for generations to come.
Employment Insurance
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Kevin Sorenson Crowfoot, AB
Mr. Speaker, our Conservative government is ensuring Canada's economic recovery by limiting the increase in employment insurance premiums. The increase for 2011 will be limited to 5¢ per $100 of insurable earnings and 10¢ for subsequent years.
To help Canadian workers and employers overcome the 2008 global crisis, we froze EI premiums for 2009 and 2010 at their lowest level since 1982. To maintain Canada's economic recovery, we are now reducing the EI rate increase by two-thirds.
Every dollar counts to families, and this could mean almost $75 extra for the average Canadian family next year.
Our Conservative government is consulting with Canadian individuals and businesses to improve on how the EI rate is set going forward to ensure more stable and predictable rates.
We are working with business and we are working with labour to save and create jobs and help Canadians prosper.
40th Anniversary of the October Crisis
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Serge Ménard Marc-Aurèle-Fortin, QC
Mr. Speaker, more than 450 people were arrested when the government invoked the War Measures Act in October 1970. Today we know that all the known members of the FLQ and all those who were suspected of being members were released in the hope that they would lead the police to the places were Mr. Cross and Mr. Laporte were being held.
These people, who were arrested without warrant, usually in the middle of the night, kept in the dark about the new crimes that had just been created, and held incommunicado until they were questioned, were all finally released without charge. Some were let go several days after being arrested, while others were not released until months later.
It is disturbing to think that these measures were taken by politicians who had always claimed to stand up for human rights and workers' rights.
Events such as these show us how very fragile our lofty principles and our institutions can be.
Let us learn from such events. After all, Quebec's motto is "Je me souviens", I remember.

2:05 p.m.
Steven Blaney Lévis—Bellechasse, QC
Mr. Speaker, an assistant to the Bloc member for Abitibi—Baie-James—Nunavik—Eeyou has posted some disturbing comments on her Facebook page. This House of Commons employee has the nerve to compare the October Crisis to the French Revolution where, I quote, "heads rolled" and she brags about having contact, in 2010, with the Front de libération du Québec.
I would like to remind Bloc members that René Lévesque himself unequivocally condemned the FLQ, which is a terrorist movement.
However, this Bloc Québécois staffer goes even further. She makes fun of the constituents and complains that they speak only English, one of our two official languages.
These statements are totally unacceptable, and I am calling on the leader of the Bloc and the hon. member to condemn these comments and to distance themselves from these unacceptable remarks.
Auditor General of Canada
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Massimo Pacetti Saint-Léonard—Saint-Michel, QC
Mr. Speaker, in this day and age, when equality and freedom of speech should not be an issue in Canada, this Conservative government is again showing us that equality is a meaningless term.
Last week, in a job posting for the position of Auditor General of Canada published in national newspapers, the government specifically stated that it is looking for a chartered accountant.
I would like to say that CGAs and CMAs are recognized for their integrity, ethics and educational qualifications, including their audit capabilities.
It is unfortunate that these qualifications have not been included in this job posting, and that the Government of Canada has adopted this hiring policy that discriminates against 75,000 CGAs and 50,000 CMAs.
It should be noted that all accountants are accredited by provincial accounting organizations.
It is disconcerting that the Conservative government is ignoring three accounting designations recognized across Canada.
Child Advocacy Centres
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Kelly Block Saskatoon—Rosetown—Biggar, SK
Mr. Speaker, our government is committed to supporting victims of crime, particularly the most vulnerable among us: our children.
Today the Minister of Justice, along with the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development, announced funding of $5.25 million for the creation and enhancement of child advocacy centres to help better serve young victims and witnesses of crime.
Child advocacy centres aim to minimize the trauma of being a child victim of crime. These advocacy centres are a collaborative team of professionals who work in a child-friendly setting to help a child victim or witness navigate the criminal justice system.
The work of the advocacy centre staff greatly reduces the emotional and mental harm to the child, and their approach often improves the quality of evidence brought forward in trials. Better evidence can lead to more charges laid, a higher rate of guilty pleas and convictions, and more appropriate sentences.
I would like my hon. colleagues to join me in congratulating our government for this encouraging announcement.

Denise Savoie Victoria, BC
Mr. Speaker, this Thanksgiving I want to express my gratitude for the diverse, creative and caring community I represent: churches such as St. John the Divine working to alleviate homelessness; the talented students at the Canadian College of Performing Arts; the University of Victoria's NEPTUNE Canada and its pioneering research under the ocean; as well as the Dogwood Initiative fighting tanker traffic.
This being harvest time, I want to offer special recognition to Victoria's strong local food movement: dedicated organic farmers, chefs and co-ops, local food advocates such as Lee Fuge, and groups such as LifeCycles and CR-FAIR. Sadly, Canadian agriculture policy as it stands is biased against small producers.
In addition to giving thanks, let us adopt a new policy for food security, sovereignty and sustainability, and let us back Bill C-579 to make every Friday before Thanksgiving a national local food day.
Aerospace Industry
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Shelly Glover Saint Boniface, MB
Mr. Speaker, with the economic recovery still fragile, hard-working men and women in Canada's aerospace sector can rest assured that our government is on their side. Thanks to our government's investment in the F-35 program, Canada's aerospace industry will benefit from highly skilled and well-paying jobs for years to come.
Already, world-class aerospace companies from across Canada are benefiting from our investment. Companies such as Avcorp, Magellan-Bristol, Héroux-Devtek, Handling Speciality, and Pratt & Whitney are already providing expertise to the F-35 program and creating jobs for Canadians. These benefits will only increase. As experts have said, this investment will create jobs and benefits for decades to come.
Shockingly, the opposition coalition is vowing to cancel this important investment and put in jeopardy hundreds of thousands of jobs in our aerospace sector. The coalition should put the country first, put the economy first, put jobs for Canadians first and get behind this win-win investment.
October Crisis
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Pierre Paquette Joliette, QC
Mr. Speaker, the following is an excerpt from a column written by René Lévesque the day after the death of Pierre Laporte on October 17, 1970:
The death of Pierre Laporte has devastated us all. This waste of a life is barbaric and atrocious.... We cannot imagine the distress his family members have experienced this past week, and the kind of pain they are feeling now.... They can be assured that all of Quebec shares in their grief.... Now, we must all do our best to erase this stain as quickly as possible.... It will be to Quebec's credit to draw from this ordeal a thirst for real progress so that we can eliminate any excuses for active or would-be terrorists, which we unfortunately have just as many of as any civilized society.... We must be strong in speaking out against what happened; we must take responsibility, but refuse to get caught up in the games of those who may try to use this situation to control us.
Government Priorities
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Justin Trudeau Papineau, QC
Mr. Speaker, despite the fact that we are dealing with a government for which lack of transparency and excuses are the norm, an analysis of speeches made in the House was quite telling.
After eliminating words common to all, openparliament.ca reveals that the word most commonly used by the member for Edmonton East is "war". While we might understand the finance minister's overuse of the word "tax", why the ministers for seniors and immigration favour "tax" too is beyond me.
Instead of having a global perspective, our Minister of Foreign Affairs is more than a little obsessed with the Bloc.
Among the words that Liberals prefer that do not appear from Conservatives are "development", "respect", "care", "jobs", "children", "change", and my own word, "young", but the most telling contrast is that while our Leader of the Opposition is most focused on the interests of the public, the Conservative Prime Minister is instead obsessed with opposing Liberals.
Public Safety
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Cathy McLeod Kamloops—Thompson—Cariboo, BC
Mr. Speaker, the Liberal public safety critic continues to advocate for his soft on crime agenda. Yesterday, he went one step further and called the failed prison farm program one of the most successful programs for rehabilitation. We could not disagree more.
Here are the facts: Over the last five years, less than 1% of offenders released into the community actually found work in the agricultural sector, and this 1% success rate cost taxpayers over $4 million every year.
When will the member for Ajax—Pickering put public safety first? Does he think rehabilitation does not require ensuring marketable job skills post-incarceration? Does he think law-abiding Canadians do not deserve to feel safe in their homes and streets? After all, this is the member who proudly mused about reducing criminal sentences.
It has never been clearer that the Liberals and the public safety critic are not in it for law-abiding Canadians; they are just in it for themselves.

Honestly, I wouldn't recommend an Autococker to somebody who doesn't really know anything about them. They can be so finicky and they can be really hard to fix sometimes. The only Autococker I would recommend to somebody that doesn't have any experience with them is the Trilogy line, since they don't have a frontblock and aren't as complicated as traditional Autocockers.
thanks, what about a mag?
Posted 26 November 2011 - 02:23 PM

That being said they are still a fun gun. I would suggest buying a new ULE mag straight from AGD. It will retain 95% of its value, you get all the upgrades (level ten, trigger job, your choice of frame) and you know it works.
Cockers will leak more often but are easy fixes. honestly a cocker is one of the easiest guns to repair and maintain. There are 100,000 youtube tutorials, and they are about as easy to assemble as a spyder.
It depends on your price range:
New: your only option here is CCM or the AKA merlin body kits both are expensive.
4-600$ range:
Mech: Belsales Evo x or Eclipse Autococker
Electro: Karni MQd, SR MQd
Pump: New ccm 6
Mech: shocktech SFL, Kapp, CCM works
Electro: A nice 2k+ body with an E2
Pump: CCM with an AT kit
WGP cockers
mainly the bodies are the same milled from wgp blanks (aside from aka, ccm, and jackal machine)
I would avoid ANS, Palmers, FBM, Spankyfishbone, Race frames, and MQ valves if you are not confident with taking it apart. These items are finicky.
I would avoid an E1 if I could.
Basically my favorite cockers are these:
Belsales/ Eclipse: they took a standard cocker and polished modded stock parts to make them better
Shocktech: took the hot rod approach but still very similiar to belsales just a different approach.
Kapp: took both approaches and made fantastic custom cockers
AKA: pricy but AKA doesn't have upgrades, they have accessories
CCM: Makes great stuff especially pump stuff
The main thing it will come down to is your milling preference as all of them will have a different flair.
But basically unless its electro they will all shoot effeciently, smoothly (weight helps with this), fairly fast, and quiet.
The main selling point of ccm is they warranty parts for life.
The main selling point of belsales is they are still in buisiness and have rebuild parts for rams and regs.
Kapp is no longer around, but they made stuff to last
Shocktech no longer makes rams, lprs, or 3 ways and the 3 way oring is not easy to find
Aka is just really pricey.
Any of those brands I would strongly reccomend

Mags are less fun to me. No moving parts. When they leak you might as well pay 80$ and send them to agd.
Fixing a leaking AutoMag is not harder than fixing a leaking AutoCocker or a leaking "modern age" gun like Ego, DM oder Luxe.
You just have to get on the problem in a methodic way - replacing orings in a random order doesn't help to fix a leaking gun, no matter what brand or type it is.
Tom Kaye (the man who invented the AutoMag) made a video which explains to pinpoint the problem. It's floating around on YouTube. Once you watched it, it's quite easy to fix a leaking AutoMag.
The only hard thing in my opinion is to set up a level 10 bolt kit the right way. It may take some time, as you have to go by try and error. Sometimes you hit the perfect setup by the first try, sometimes you tinker around a lot until you have it working right.
Neverthelesss - if you decide to get an AutoMag or an AutoCocker, be aware that these guns need some more time and love to be set up and tuned perfectly. It's not as easy as with modern guns, where you play with the settings of the board. It's all mechanical, so you need at least a bit of talent and craftmanship if you want to get the best results.
On the other hand you have endless options to customize the guns for your needs and preferences - and that's the fun part of it in my opinion.
It took me about one and a half year to get the all the parts I needed to build my personal AutoMag (here in Germany we face some problems, as paintball guns are considered firearms, so you can't just import the main parts of them). Now, that I have completed it and set it up right - I won't give it away at any cost. I owned some highend guns (MacDev Clone, Planet Eclipse Geo 2 and 2.1, Dye NT10 and NT11) and never had a problem to let them go. My AutoMag? The only way to get it is to take it from my dead, cold hands...

Comments about Writer s Block:
I love this set because sometimes students have a hard time thinking of what to write about. So along with the writing prompts I have, I also let them use these cards. the cards have pictures on them, which also helps students who are visual learners.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

We have used the box with ...
By Suzannah Hayes
from King's Lynn, Norfolk
We have used the box with one boy I taught last year, who was an incredibly reluctant writer, as a way to encourage him to write. He was allowed to select a card himself which he used as a stimulus for his writing. He enjoyed having the box on the desk and used it almost as reassurance.

There is a strong correlation between upwind pesticide use and declining amphibian populations.where they settle in the air, snow, and surface waters, and inside the tissues of amphibians. And when Davidson compared historical reports of pesticide use, habitat loss, wind patterns, and amphibian population counts in California for the years 1971 to 1991, he found a strong correlation between upwind pesticide use — in particular cholinesterase-inhibiting chemicals such as the insecticide carbaryl — and declining amphibian populations.
The bat die-off 'is the most precipitous wildlife decline in the past century in North America.'neonicotinoid-coated seeds are planted using seeding machines, which kick up clouds of insecticide into the air. "The cloud is 20 meters wide, sometimes 50 meters, and the machines go up and down and up and down," he says. "Bees that cross the fields, making a trip every ten minutes, have a high probability of encountering this cloud. If they make a trip every five minutes, it is certain that they will encounter this cloud."

Looking at business news and consumer issues from every angle
By: Dan Gearino
The Columbus Dispatch - November 13, 2013 10:34 AM
As I drove around town working on a
story about
fuel prices yesterday, I thought of a quote from
Anchorman's Ron Burgundy: "Boy, that escalated quickly. That really got out of hand
In the span of an hour or two, I saw the price of regular unleaded rise from
$2.89 to $3.29 at some stations. The region's daily average price leapt from $3.03 to $3.13,
according to
AAA and GasBuddy.com.
And, I was talking to consumers as it was happening. At some stations, drivers
said they saw $3.29 prices and drove around until they found it for less than $3.
At other stations with low prices, the customers didn't know how fortunate they
were until I told them.
I got a few calls and messages from people who were upset that prices changed so
quickly. Several people pointed out that crude oil prices had fallen. Everything about this was
familiar, the subject of dozens of previous stories on the energy beat.
What was different, as I saw it, was actually being on the road as the prices
were changing and seeing how quickly it happened. This was a matter of hours, or even an hour, when
there was a fundamental change in the cost of an essential commodity. Boy, that escalated

Advanced Micro Devices, the world's second largest producer of x86 central processing units, applauded on Wednesday the ruling of the European Commission against Intel Corp. The company says that the fine of $1.44 billion is a "fine" step towards competitive microprocessor market.
"Today's ruling is an important step toward establishing a truly competitive market. AMD has consistently been a technology innovation leader and we are looking forward to the move from a world in which Intel ruled, to one which is ruled by customers," said Dirk Meyer, AMD president and chief executive officer.
In fact, Intel has so far failed to convince any antitrust enforcement agency that its business practices are lawful and pro-consumer.
In 2008, the Korea Fair Trade Commission (KFTC) issued a 26 billion won fine (approximately $25.4 million) saying that Intel's abuse of its dominant position included coercing and paying customers millions of dollars on the condition that they use only Intel chips, delay launches of AMD products, and/or not develop any new products with AMD chips. The KFTC also found that, "South Korean consumers had to buy PCs at higher prices as domestic PC makers were forced to buy Intel's pricier CPU". In addition to a fine, the KFTC ordered Intel to stop the practice of offering payments to PC makers conditioned upon them not doing business with AMD. Intel is in the process of appealing the ruling.
In 2005, the Japan Fair Trade Commission (JFTC) ruled that Intel had violated the country's anti-monopoly laws by illegally forcing full or partial exclusivity with five Japanese PC makers. Intel did not appeal the ruling.
In the United States, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and New York Attorney General's office are investigating Intel for abuse of its monopoly position. In 2005, AMD filed private litigation in the US District Court of Delaware, which is scheduled for trial in spring 2010.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (269 votes).
In short: One of my favouritesIn full: Yes, it a three looper, yes the weather was abysmal, and yes you run through a council estate-but i LOVE this racewell organised, encoraging marshaks and a great atmospheresee you next yearDate of review: June 8, 2008
In short: If the weather holds out, you might too...In full: ...I was paying it did, it never. Three laps of suburbia with a 4(ish) mile semi-country lane route isn't the most conducive to boredom offsetting. Yet, saying that, I definitely do it again as it's under £20 and the facilities were great, as were the extremely enthusiastic marshalls.Date of review: January 29, 2008
In short: I had heard some bad things about the Luton Marathon but they were all wrong. I In full: When we arrived in the car park it was windy but not raining. As we went in the hall we noticed people coming in that were wet. It had started to rain. It could have been a bad omen. The first lap was windy and raining as was part of the next time round. It cleared up towards the end lap although the wind was still there. All in all I enjoyed the race. It was a challenge. Not a pb but thoroughly enjoyed it. It was a well organised race and well worth doing.Date of review: December 19, 2007
In short: Well organised,some nice scenery between the villages,did anyone else notice the thatched house ?In full: As always,this event is so well organised, from the maps/directions to the wonderful marshals.Its also great to have a large indoor venue to meet with pals both before and after - tellible weather for 2 laps - then some sunshine - but the marshalls smiles all through it !Date of review: December 16, 2007
In short: Horrendous weather, great, great Marshalls and water stations. Very well organsised,.Date of review: December 14, 2007
In short: 3 lap course of nearly 9mile each mostly on road/pavement, not best scenery especially 3rd time around but ok. Well marshalled. Weather very wet and windy damened spirits a little.Date of review: December 9, 2007
In short: Good marathon with fun three leg relay, windy and hilly though !!In full: Well organised race. Three laps makes a change and the three person relay looked good fun. Course is quite hilly and the weather was the worst I've raced in (very cold, wet and windy) which made it quite fun.Date of review: December 9, 2007
In short: A gem of a race - even in that weather!In full: Loved it. After a deep disappointment with Leicester, course not time, this was the perfect finish to the marathon calendar. Loved the three laps cos I knew what was coming, marshalls were the best I've ever seen, and didn't mind getting soaked and nearly blown away. Don't be put off by the location and the fact it runs through town for much of it, this is a secret PB cert on the right day.Date of review: December 6, 2007
In short: A good challengeIn full: Worth the trip up from Portsmouth. Weather was very poor, especially the wind out the back of the course, and the muddy/slippery paths didn't help either. Marshalls and supporters were very good, organisation was good, well marked course, fairly tough with a few inclines.Date of review: December 5, 2007
In short: Absolutely loved it...In full: Well apart from the wind, rain, hail and hills that is... Met some inspirational people and must also give the marshals a special mention... Not sure it was the best choice for my first marathon but I did it... whoop whoop!Date of review: December 5, 2007

Research Summary
The Laboratory of Molecular Hermeneutics is interested in how cells regulate their intracellular calcium concentration. Cells use changes in calcium as a trigger for many cellular events, including cell growth, secretion, contraction, and neurotransmission. We have focused on one aspect of this process, the release of calcium from intracellular stores. We use calcium imaging combined with electrophysiological, biochemical, and molecular techniques to study the classes of calcium release channels known to exist inside virtually all cells: the InsP3-gated channel, the ryanodine receptor, and polycystin-2. Our first goal is to understand the basic question: how is the function of these channels regulated. Our second goal is to use the answers to the first question to understand the loss of calcium regulation observed in disease states as seen in cells from patients with polycystic kidney disease or leading to drug-induced neuropathy. We hypothesize that these abnormalities in function are consequences, at least in part, of altered intracellular calcium homeostasis and that our studies will lead to suitable treatment regimens.
