Monique Guay Laurentides, QC
Mr. Speaker, the St. Lawrence River now has its flag and I am proud to point out this initiative of the Secrétariat à la mise en valeur du Saint-Laurent, a Quebec government organization responsible for promoting the St. Lawrence River, both in Quebec and around the world.
The importance of the St. Lawrence River can never be overemphasized. Sixty per cent of Quebec's population lives along its shores and 47 municipalities pump out 2 billion litres of water per day from the river for their drinking water.
According to the Quebec department of transport, the marine and port sector generates over $3 billion yearly. We are talking about over 27,000 jobs and a payroll in excess of one billion dollars.
The St. Lawrence flag is a reminder of the invaluable heritage that this great river. It also reflects our collective pride in this major resource.
The flag is a nice memento for VIPs, as well as a promotional item here and all over the world.
Congratulations to the Secrétariat à la mise en valeur du fleuve Saint-Laurent.

Mr. Speaker, safe communities and safe streets have been the Liberal government's priority from the beginning of our election. Canadians asked us to firmly respond to the serious crimes and we listened.
In this session alone our government has introduced legislation to toughen sentencing provisions for home invasions. We have introduced legislation to strengthen the current animal cruelty laws. We have toughened impaired driving provisions of the criminal code. We made legislative amendments to strengthen the voice of victims of crime within the justice system.
We have made sure law enforcement has the tools to do its job too. Last year we provided $115 million to the RCMP to modernize the Canadian Police Information Centre. We provided another $15 million to the RCMP to fight organized crime in our nation's airports. We have increased the total RCMP budget by $584 million over the next three years to modernize computer—

Deborah Grey Edmonton North, AB
Mr. Speaker, our Olympians are going for the gusto in Sydney. We are watching and cheering them on in every single event. Our athletes are working their hearts out, pushing themselves to the very limit to achieve their goals. When one stands on the winners' podium and the Maple Leaf goes up and we sing our national anthem, our whole country stands tall and proud.
This is what the Olympic spirit is about: our young men and women representing us and competing against the very best athletes in the world.
I am sick to see the politics of funding entering the debate right during the games. Yes, we need to question levels of amateur sport funding and how much of it actually goes to the athlete. Those are priorities that, yes, need to be discussed, but certainly not right now in the midst of the games.
Right now we need to be cheering them on and letting them focus on their goal of competing. They deserve and need our support. Go team Canada, go.
Organized Crime

Carolyn Parrish Mississauga Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, organized crime is a threat to the safety and security of all Canadians. That is why the Liberal government continues to work to provide the tools necessary to break the back of organized crime. Since 1994 the anti-smuggling initiative led to 17,000 charges and identified $118 million in evaded taxes and duties. Since 1996 the witness protection program has protected those who risked their lives to assist the police.
Since the 1997 Bill C-95 participation in an organized crime has been an indictable offence. Since 1997 the cross-border crime forum has been sharing law enforcement information with our American counterparts.
Since 1999 accelerated parole review has been eliminated for organized crime offenders. This year we brought in new legislation to combat money laundering.
The Liberal government, with its provincial and territorial partners, will keep working to find new ways to eradicate organized crime.

Bill Blaikie Winnipeg—Transcona, MB
Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the NDP, I urge the government to change its approach to the issue of residential school lawsuits. The approach to date has been far too legalistic, has threatened the work and viability of some churches, has delayed compensation for victims and has been an attempt to evade the extent of the federal government's responsibility by obscuring the fact that the churches acted on behalf of the federal government and not on their own. No one but lawyers and the tendency of this government to drag things out rather than deal with them fairly is being served by the current approach.
The appointment of the Deputy Prime Minister to talk to the churches about this issue is, we hope, a good sign. The churches are willing to accept responsibility and pay their fair share of compensation. However, to burden them with all the legal fees associated with the federal government constantly naming them as third parties in the suits, shows either a hostility to the churches or a cynicism at the heart of Liberal strategy on this issue that will no longer go unnoticed by Canadians who want justice for aboriginal victims, but who also value the ongoing work of the churches.

Mr. Speaker, I wish to mention the performance of MBA students from the École des Hautes Études commerciales who won first prize at the televised contest The Economist Business Challenge , on September 9 and 10, in Montreal, with representatives from 15 U.S. and Canadian universities.
I particularly congratulate Martine Valcin, the team member who won the most valuable player trophy.
The team from the Hautes Études commerciales, which was made up of Carlos-Eduardo Luna-Crudo, Dominique Sauvé, Martine Valcin and François Blouin, faced participants representing 15 universities, including Wharton, Harvard, Northwestern, New York (Stern), Queen's and Toronto.
These students had to correctly answer questions on all the news published in The Economist over the past six months, on themes as varied as the international economy, finance, mergers and takeovers, market strategies and new business trends across the world.
These awards reflect the calibre of the students—

Raymonde Folco Laval West, QC
Mr. Speaker, on September 21, the leader of the Canadian Alliance treated us to a fine example of what he thinks of dialogue and collaboration with the provinces.
In his comments on the gas tax, the leader of the Canadian Alliance stated that Ottawa no longer has any excuse not to cut the fuel tax, with or without provincial agreement. That is a fine example of co-operation.
How can the leader of the Canadian Alliance traipse around Quebec repeating the constant refrain that he calls for the total respect of provincial jurisdictions and the necessity to consult the Canadian provinces, while at the same time pressuring the federal government to lower gas prices?
This is great inconsistency. The leader of the Canadian Alliance ought to explain his words here in the House.

Mark Muise West Nova, NS
Mr. Speaker, yesterday morning the federal court in Halifax ruled against Indian Brook's request for an injunction to prevent DFO from removing their lobster traps off the coast of New Edinburgh, Nova Scotia.
Federal court Justice Pelletier recognized what has already been stated in the supreme court's decision on Marshall, which is that DFO has the right and the obligation to uphold the laws of this country as they relate to the fishery. Any other ruling would have been disastrous for our fishing communities. We cannot afford to have two sets of laws within Canadian society. To do otherwise would result in chaos.
It is now imperative that the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans state that there will be one fishery, one set of regulations and one season for all native and non-native fishermen. We must respect the rights of our native people but at the same time we must not ignore the rights of our non-native fishermen and the tremendous job they have done over the years to develop the fishery into the successful industry that it is.
Crime Prevention
Statements By Members

Julian Reed Halton, ON
Mr. Speaker, Statistics Canada has recently reported that the national crime rate was down 5% in 1999. That makes it now eight consecutive years that the national crime rate has gone down. In fact, Canada's crime rate is at its lowest level in 20 years.
The numbers released earlier this year for youth crime were headed in the same direction, down. Youth crime was down for the seventh year in a row.
We are pleased that crime is declining but we are not satisfied. The Liberal government continues to commit $32 million a year to the National Strategy on Community Safety and Crime Prevention in order to prevent crime and attack its root causes.
We are supporting communities large and small in developing projects on the ground to prevent crime where we live. It is only when we achieve safe communities and a sense of security that Canadians can focus on their larger hopes and dreams.
The Environment
Statements By Members

Chuck Strahl Fraser Valley, BC
Mr. Speaker, the Sumas energy project is a power plant proposal that will pump three tonnes of pollution every single day into the narrow air shed over the Fraser Valley. The Fraser Valley already has one of the most polluted atmospheres in Canada, with one of the highest rates of respiratory disease in the country.
Virtually every person and every group in B.C. is opposed to this project. The Canadian Alliance is opposed to the project. The B.C. Liberal Party, the provincial NDP, the Abbotsford and Chilliwack city councils, and even the B.C. Lung Association is against it. So the questions for the Minister of the Environment are these.
Why has he failed to back up the Abbotsford city council, who have been fighting this proposal on both sides of the border? Why has he refused to tell the Americans that Canadians just do not want this plant near the border? Why has he failed to raise the alarm about air pollution with an industrial plant, but feels free to tell B.C. residents that it is up to them to clean up the valley air? Why as a B.C. minister has he completely failed to aggressively represent British Columbian interests?
Finally, why does he insist on acting more and more like an American industry minister and less and less like a Canadian environment minister?

Michel Bellehumeur Berthier—Montcalm, QC
Mr. Speaker, yesterday a member of the Canadian Alliance accused me of holding up the work of the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights through my systematic objection to each of the 200 clauses of the Minister of Justice's bill to criminalize young people who are having problems with the law.
It is true that I have made use of all the parliamentary tools available to me in order to prevent Bill C-3 from ever getting passed. It is true that we heard many witnesses, but none from Quebec supports the Minister of Justice's bill.
It is true that I had a duty to do everything within my power to have the bill die in committee. I am here to defend the interests of Quebec. I have done so and I will continue to do so with all the energy available to me.
The Bloc Quebecois will continue this battle with solidarity.

Bill Casey Cumberland—Colchester, NS
Mr. Speaker, a recent discovery of a 1958 infrared photograph taken by the Royal Canadian Air Force confirms the exact location of the Acadian village of Beaubassin established in the late 1600s. This Acadian village survived until 1750 when the Acadian leaders burnt the village down and the inhabitants moved across the river to an area now known as Fort Beauséjour.
In the meantime, the British took possession of the site of the Acadian village and built a settlement there called Fort Lawrence, named after the fort of the same name. Throughout this exercise, native peoples were involved and present throughout.
The Fort Lawrence Heritage Society has done a great deal of research and work on this project. It proposes that the federal government should assume ownership of the land before any more damage is done to the site and any more artefacts are removed.
I will be meeting with the Minister of Canadien Heritage, as soon as possible, to seek her support in arranging for the federal government to acquire the land to protect it for the future. This one site reflects important aspects of our English, French and native history. I urge the government to move quickly to preserve this historic area.

Gordon Earle Halifax West, NS
Mr. Speaker, while this House is currently debating Bill C-41, veterans benefit legislation, it is significant to note that the issue of compensation to our merchant seamen has not yet been satisfactorily concluded.
According to the Department of Veterans Affairs, almost half of the claims received from merchant mariners are still waiting to be processed. These Canadians risked life and limb during the war to deliver fuel, food, goods and people and were under attack from German submarines, facing casualties and all too often death.
Every month more and more of these brave members of our community succumb to illness and old age. It has been estimated that the merchant mariners are dying at the rate of 12 per month.
I ask this government to resolve this matter immediately and pay those who qualify so that this injustice will not persist one day longer.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Deb Winter Boots I have only tried on the boots at this time, since I purchased them in June. They looked and felt great when I tried them on. I have an older pair not from this manufacturer which couldn't compare to these. July 8, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by MichiganMomma7 Finally, Warm Feet! This is my first purchase of any Bearpaw products and I am very pleased. I bought the black Abigail Winter Boots and I have found them easy to wipe clean (from the salt and snow) and my feet are always nice and warm. I live in a very cold and snowy area so I really appreciate the fuzzy and soft inside of the boots that keep my toes warm. They are also pretty slip resistant. I feel like they have good traction in the snow and on ice. I would recommend to friends and I will probably get another pair next year! If they hold up for the rest of the winter, they will definitely be worth what I paid for them. February 18, 2015

The second one went in about ten minutes later, and wasn't quite the same. The third and fourth pizzas, this time at 15-minute intervals, still looked good, but didn't turn out as good as the first or second pies.
Dave,Are you saying that those 10/15 minute intervals means 15 minutes from when you took the previous pizza out until you put the next one in? i.e., "re-pre-heating" time?I wonder how much re-pre-heating is required to return the oven and stone to their original hot state.

The 2014 AMC/AEEC Conference
The Airlines Electronic Engineering Committee-Avionics Maintenance Conference (AEEC | AMC) in Toronto features knowledge sharing from avionics manufacturers, airline executives and engineers on ARINC standards that help reduce operating and life cycle costs of air transport avionics by improving maintenance and support techniques through the exchange of technical information.
[Avionics Today April 17, 2014] 2014 marks the 65th year since the Airlines Electronic Engineering Committee meetings first began to convene jointly with the Avionics Maintenance Conference. Since those first meetings, aircraft avionics systems technology has exploded and AEEC/AMC has grown alongside into a new age of technology.
AMC/AEEC Conference Keynote speaker, Claude Chidiac, aviation leader with CMC Electronics. Photo, courtesy of CMC Electronics.
The conference features some of the brightest and smartest engineers and scientists in the world, there to discuss standards that define key elements of equipment and avionics systems, with active input from the end users of the products that are built based on ARINC standards.
These standards provide the power and ever-evolving capability behind new and evolving cockpit technologies such as advanced Synthetic Vision Systems (SVS), touchscreen cockpit displays, Controller-Pilot Data Link Communications (CPDLC) and more. Over 250 organizations participate in the development of these ARINC Standards.
During AEEC/AMC, attendees witness the collaboration that happens between avionics manufacturers, systems designers, and airframe expansion of the capabilities of aircraft avionics systems. Members from different subcommittees present Project Papers featuring improvements on existing work, all with the goal of improving cost effectiveness and reducing life cycle costs for aircraft systems.
The standards and subsequent improvements to them are voted on by the AEEC/AMC committee, which includes representation from American Airlines, ARINC, Airbus, Boeing, British Airways, FedEx, the International Air Transportation Association (IATA), Lufthansa and U.S. Airways, among other aviation companies and organizations.
Suppliers, air-framers and airline executives are among those who provide input about the cost effectiveness and logistics of moving forward with new improvements and concepts for software portability; uploading of non-core data; improving data link communications and more.
Paul J. Prisaznuk, head of ARINC standards development, was particularly impressed by developments from the Air Ground Information Exchange (AGIE)/Manager of Air Ground Interface Communications (MAGIC) subcommittee, which is currently working on the airline anticipation of commercially available information and data networking technology used to manage the rapidly growing amount of information needed to support the operation of aircraft.
"The AGIE/MAGIC subcommittee produced mature drafts of Project Paper 830, AGIE, and Project Paper 839, MAGIC.
This will enable a standardized method of server-to-server communication between aircraft and ground based information Technology (IT) centers," said Prisaznuk.

In addition to serving as the head of standards development at the conference, Prisaznuk also gave a presentation on behalf of one of the other subcommittees, the Application Executive Software Subcommittee, which is currently working on developing and maintaining ARINC 653 software interface standards for new airplane development and retrofit programs, including the Airbus A350 XWB, which enters service later this year with Qatar Airways, and the Boeing 787 which is in service and being continually upgraded by Boeing.
The APEX subcommittee has resource support directly from Airbus, Boeing, DDC-I, Korea Aerospace, Rockwell Collins and more. They're focused on ensuring growth for CNS/ATM applications that provide advanced operational concepts that will increase aviation safety, capacity and efficiency.
"ARINC 653 has been applied to air transport, regional, business and military avionics. For example, the Airbus A350 and the Boeing 787 use ARINC 653 in the most complex digital systems. A standardized software operating system enables software application modules to be updated independent of the underlying computing platform. This enables software changes to be made efficiently, including the possibility of adding new capabilities," said Prisaznuk.
There were also a few AEEC General Session first time occurrences, including the Symposium on Aircraft Surface Communications and speakers from the aviation industry discussing how to upgrade the communications technology within their networks. Speakers from the industry laid out their plans for AeroMACs, IEEE 802.16 WiMax, and cellular telephony like 4G, LTE.

Perhaps the most interesting aspect of the conference is the collaboration on standards that occurs among competitors from the industry. Kathleen O'Brien, an associate technical fellow of avionics and ATM for Boeing, and Thierry Harquin, head of systems sales for Airbus, for example, sat next to each other at the AEEC roundtable as proposals for avionics systems improvement were presented on the main stage.
"For 65 years the ARINC Standards have been developed by the consensus of all industry parties, both users and suppliers, and both partners and competitors. The strength of the standards is the result of giants standing on the shoulders of giants," said Prisaznuk.
"The world airlines continue to drive the ARINC Standards process using a proven top-down method of program management," he added.
AMC/AEEC Conference attendees have the opportunity to discuss new technologies and hardware concepts with industry leaders during conference networking sessions. Among the many discussions that occur at such an industry hub like AMC/AEEC, Avionics magazine heard from William Cecil, director of business development at Teledyne Controls, on the obsolescence of floppy disks for uploading navigation databases, and had a conversation about Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) systems integration with Jeff Behlendorf, director of product management at Carlisle Interconnect Technologies.
Look out for more on those conversations and other industry research and development presented during the conference in our daily web coverage and upcoming editions of Avionics Magazine and Avionics Technology Weekly.

As the weather transitions, so do the kitchen plans at Seasons 52. Known for creating remarkable dishes at 475 calories or fewer, the restaurant shapes its menu around seasonal ingredients, switching out its core offerings four times a year and varying its specialty plates every week.
New starters on the current menu include ahi tuna served with a spicy Asian cucumber salad as well as an assortment of flatbreads, like the weekly special featuring thinly roasted eggplant, Parmesan and feta. We're amazed the creamy penne pasta with grilled jumbo shrimp is fewer than 475 calories, but our favorite entrée is the tender grilled swordfish ponzu, brushed with a savory ginger-chili relish glaze and served with Asian vegetables and steamed rice.
Seasons 52 claims to be the first to introduce those irresistible shot-glass desserts now popularized by common chains. The chocolate peanut butter mousse and the pecan pie hit the spot, but you really can't go wrong with any of the miniature indulgences. Palm Beach Gardens, Boca Raton (seasons52.com)

A stunning coin! Dripping with luster, the fields are extremely clean - especially the reverse. The obverse has multicolored mottled toning that is very attractive in hand.
Q. David Bowers: The following narrative, with minor editing, is from my "Silver Dollars & Trade Dollars of the United States: A Complete Encyclopedia" (Wolfeboro, NH: Bowers and Merena Galleries, Inc., 1993).
Coinage Context
San Francisco a prime mint for trade dollar coinage: From the beginning, emphasis was placed on producing coins at the San Francisco Mint. This was for two reasons. First, the San Francisco Mint was near the supply of silver (which primarily came from Nevada) and, second, it was the closest United States mint to the Orient. In Philadelphia in October, a powerful coining press for trade dollars was completed by Morgan & Orr and was subsequently sent to San Francisco (see reprinted article below).
Production in 1873: Production of trade dollars began in San Francisco in July and continued strong for the rest of the calendar year, with the peak month being December, when 200,000 were struck. Total coinage for the year amounted to 703,000 pieces. Nearly all were exported to China. The vast majority were melted there or in India.
Numismatic Information
Circulated grades: While hardly common, enough 1873-S trade dollars exist in circulated grades from VF-20 to AU-58 that there is no difficulty in locating them. I estimate that from 3,000 to 6,000 or more exist. Many were chopmarked.
Mint State grades: As virtually the entire mintage of 1873-S trade dollars was exported to China, and as numismatists in the United States (1) were not interested in collecting by mintmark varieties, and (2) were not interested in trade dollars, very few were saved domestically.
Today in all Mint State grades as a combined total population the 1873-S trade dollar is considered by me to be the rarest of all the regular San Francisco circulation strike issues 1873-1878. Even years ago, when population reports and other data were not available, the 1873-S was considered to be a prime rarity at this grade level. (For example, Maurice Rosen's article, "The U.S. Trade Dollar Series: An In-Depth Study," in the Gobrecht Journal, March 1980, named the 1873-S as the third rarest Mint State coin of this denomination.) However, if the grade MS-65 is considered separately, it is not as rare as 1874-S; I estimate that four to eight 1873-S dollars exist at this level, compared to zero or perhaps one of 1874-S. Some 1873-S trade dollars have vertical die striations on obverse and reverse and are partially prooflike.
In the sale catalogue for the John M. Willem Collection, sold on September 5, 1980, Henry Christensen described what was undoubtedly the finest 1873-S Willem had been able to locate: "Unc.-60, with a few light bagmarks. Very scarce without chopmarks."
Circulation strikes:
1. Regular issue: Breen-5780. Fifteen pairs of dies were shipped, but to date specialists have not identified this number of minor variations. "Do any show broken serifs?" asks Walter H. Breen. Mintmark .9 mm high. "Minutes" as compared to certain mintmarks used in later years. One example seen by the author has microscopic vertical die striations (finishing lines) on the obverse and reverse and at casual glance appeared prooflike; light striking on eagle's dexter claws and on sinister leg and claws.
Many are seen as chopmarks.
Dies prepared: Obverse: 15; Reverse: 15. According to research by R.W. Julian, 6 pairs were sent from Philadelphia on July 13, 1873,6 more on September 22nd, and the remaining 3 pairs at an unknown date. Dies lasted longer than at Carson City. If all die pairs were used, over 46,000 coins were produced per pair.
Circulation strike mintage: 703,000. Delivery figures by month: July: 42,000; August: 111,000; September: 137,000; October: 98,000; November: 115,000; December: 200,000.
Characteristics of striking: Some have slight weakness on the eagle's sinister leg and on the eagle's claws.
Known hoards of Mint State coins: None
Rarity with original Chinese chopmark(s): Common.
Coinage commenced in July 1873. Nearly all were shipped to China.
Additional Information
A New Coining Press
The American Journal of Numismatics, January 1874, pp. 62, 63, contained the following report:
"We were shown yesterday at the works of Messrs. Morgan & Orr, No. 1219 Callow hill Street, the new coining press, just built by them for the purpose of coining at the San Francisco Mint all denominations of silver and gold coinage, but especially the new silver trade dollar ordered by the Department of the Mint.
"This new machine weighs eighteen thousand pounds, and is made entirely of the best steel, iron, and brass produced in Philadelphia. The steel plate above the coinage stamp is home-made, and equal, if not superior, to the finest English, a fact that speaks well for our Philadelphia steel industry. The beautiful heavy brass beam was cast seven times over to secure its accuracy and exactness, as well as finish and strength. The large fly-wheel is cast hollow, and loaded with base metal so as to give it additional weight to counterbalance the heavy brass beam. This fly-wheel was cast in sections and securely united.
"In the front of the machine is a finely made brass cylinder to hold the unstamped coins, which, as the wheel revolves, slip down one at a time upon the sliding bed-plate of iron with apertures made to receive a single coin, then drawn into the machine, the stamp descends, andthe new trade dollar is carried out complete by an interior inclined plane. The heavy brass beam referred to of course controls the stamp. Perfect simplicity characterizes the machine, which is two and a half times beyond the capacity of any other coining machine that the firm ever made for the government. It is capable of striking eighty twenty-dollar gold pieces, equal to $1,600, per minute, or twenty [sic; it would seem that the number should be larger] silver trade dollars in a minute Philadelphia North American, October 16, 1873."
This same press is on exhibit today (in the 1990s) at the entryway of the American Numismatic Association Headquarters building at 818 North Cascade Avenue, Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Oral Questions
11:45 a.m.
Dan Albas Okanagan—Coquihalla, BC
Mr. Speaker, in recent days the NDP has repeatedly talked about higher taxes on Canadians; everything from complaining about our GST reductions, demanding a new tax on everyday financial transactions, or punishing with a $10 billion-a-year hike on taxes for employers. This NDP high tax agenda is worrying for it would cost Canadian jobs when we can least afford it.
Our Conservative government, on the other hand, is on a positive low tax and pro-job strategy for jobs and growth that actually is working.
Could the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Finance please update the House on Canada's job market?
Oral Questions
11:45 a.m.
Saint Boniface
Shelly Glover Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Finance
Mr. Speaker, I am happy to report that Statistics Canada announced today that over 60,000 net new jobs were created in September. Our job growth shows that we are on the right track.
Indeed, approximately 650,000 net new jobs have been created since July 2009. That is over 90% full-time jobs and nearly 80% of them from the private sector.
However, too many Canadians are still looking for work and the global recovery remains very fragile. That is why we are looking forward to implementing the next phase of Canada's economic action plan and its job creating measures like the hiring credit for small businesses.
Oral Questions
October 7th, 2011 / 11:45 a.m.
Rosane Doré Lefebvre Alfred-Pellan, QC
Mr. Speaker, global economic instability is threatening the retirement savings of millions of Canadians. Yet the Conservatives are doubling down on the stock market by moving ahead with their ill-advised pooled registered pension plans. This government must take action to protect the qualify of life of retired Canadians.
When will the Conservatives stop gambling with Canadians' pensions and start strengthening the Canada pension plan?
Oral Questions
11:45 a.m.
Saint Boniface
Shelly Glover Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Finance
Mr. Speaker, we have worked hard to enhance retirement security for Canadians. We have reduced taxes for seniors and retirees by $2 billion, including by allowing pension income splitting. We have reformed the framework for pensions that are under federal jurisdiction in order to better protect retirees. Together with the provinces, we have reviewed the proposals for making other improvements, and we about to implement a new pooled registered pension plan, the PRPP. The PRPP will allow pension plans to be offered at little cost to millions of people who have never had a pension plan before.
Oral Questions
11:45 a.m.
Marjolaine Boutin-Sweet Hochelaga, QC
Mr. Speaker, the truth is that in the last quarter stocks fell 12%. Private pension funds were hit extremely hard. We know that pooled registered pension plans do nothing to protect Canadians when the stock market plummets.
We need a stronger public pension plan. Canadians and provincial leaders across the country are demanding basic retirement security. The Canada pension plan can provide this by generating larger and more stable investment returns.
Will the government stop gambling with the future of Canadians and strengthen CPP?
Oral Questions
11:45 a.m.
Saint Boniface
Shelly Glover Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Finance
Mr. Speaker, CPP reforms continue to be examined by ourselves and provincial governments, but I want to note that many provinces share the concerns of small businesses and others if we increase costs during a fragile global recovery.
I want to cite something that was said during the election by Catherine Swift, president and CEO of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, when she was talking about the NDP's suggestion to double CPP. She said: "That would mean probably about a 60 to 70 per cent increase in premiums from what we understand".
That was very, very worrisome. So any tax breaks that were in the NDP platform were grossly outmatched by what it was going to ding--
Oral Questions
11:50 a.m.
The Speaker Andrew Scheer
Order, please. The hon. member for Louis-Saint-Laurent.
Service Canada
Oral Questions
11:50 a.m.
Alexandrine Latendresse Louis-Saint-Laurent, QC
Mr. Speaker, government cuts to Service Canada are harming the most vulnerable Canadians. There are places in the country where it is no longer possible to speak to a human being. The telephone system hangs up on people who call before they are even able to speak to an agent. By cutting jobs at Service Canada, the government is choking the system.
Why is the government cutting services for unemployed Canadians?
Service Canada
Oral Questions
11:50 a.m.
Diane Finley Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development
Mr. Speaker, we are committed to serving Canadian taxpayers responsibly and respecting the money they earn. That is why we are trying to improve the services offered by Service Canada. We are protecting our official languages and are making improvements to the telephone system. We are trying to provide the best service possible to Canadians.
Service Canada
Oral Questions
11:50 a.m.
Ève Péclet La Pointe-de-l'Île, QC
Mr. Speaker, the government clearly does not understand anything about what the unemployed in this country are going through. Some must even wait up to three months to receive their employment insurance benefits. Waiting periods are already too long, and the government is now adding to them by making cuts to the services offered by Service Canada.
Will the government finally explain why it is preventing unemployed Canadians from accessing the insurance they themselves paid into?
Service Canada
Oral Questions
11:50 a.m.
Diane Finley Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development
Mr. Speaker, the reality is that during the global recession, we added workers to handle the increased volume of employment insurance claims, and we even improved standards. As a result, over 80% of people received their first employment insurance payment within four weeks, compared to 10 weeks under the Liberals.
Champlain Bridge
Oral Questions
11:50 a.m.
Denis Coderre Bourassa, QC
Mr. Speaker, I would like to come back to the issue of the Champlain Bridge. We will talk about the safety of the current bridge another time, but I want to come back to the issue of the new bridge. There is talk of a public-private partnership, a PPP. Unlike the NDP, we are in agreement with that and we will not change our minds.
The issue of timelines is crucial. Environmental assessments take at least three years. A Mohawk cemetery has been discovered. Very serious negotiations will be needed. There is talk of expropriation and a development plan, and we have yet to touch on public transit.
The people of Montreal and the south shore want timelines. Will the government table timelines?
Champlain Bridge
Oral Questions
11:50 a.m.
Pierre Poilievre Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Transport
Mr. Speaker, the hon. member is right—building a bridge like this will take time. Luckily, our government has had confirmation that the Champlain Bridge is safe, and we are working to keep it that way. We are taking the necessary measures to maintain that safety. If the safety of the Champlain Bridge was so important to the opposition parties, they should have supported our budget last March since it included this investment.
The Environment
Oral Questions
11:50 a.m.
Kirsty Duncan Etobicoke North, ON
Mr. Speaker, on Tuesday the Minister of the Environment stated unequivocally that we do not muzzle our scientists. Yesterday, we were told that Environment Canada scientist Dr. Tarasick was available to speak to responsible media, but the minister's office has denied access to the National Post, Ottawa Citizen and The Gazette.
If Environment Canada's ozone scientists are not being muzzled, why have these newspapers been denied access? Does the minister not consider these news organizations to be responsible media?
The Environment
Oral Questions
11:55 a.m.
Calgary Centre-North
Michelle Rempel Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of the Environment
Mr. Speaker, we certainly are proud of the work of our scientists and the contributions they make to protecting Canada's environment. Ministers speak for the government. That is why we give answers in question period.

Pete,No need to apologize. I dont think it was the cheese that was left out that gave Steve and me the problem. Steve also had a really bad back on Tuesday and hardly could get around. We always find humor in anything at market. We have a bunch of great stand holders near where I am located and also many good humored friends and stand holders that stop by to chat. It would be good if the Groff family opened another Papa Dinos in the area soon.Norma
Hello Norma, new here, 2nd post, ) YES!!!, Came here as I was googling macs pizza, trying to figure out some tricks here and there, and WOW, cam across this post! SO ALSOME! ))) I myself have been a fan of Macs for, lets see , 30 years, Im 38 now, dad took me to Wildwood forever, and the pizza was alsome!! SO< I would LOVEEE to Join this venture on figuring out how to make the Perfect Macs /Manco and manco Pizza!!!!.. SO , may I ask you first, seems like someone went dumpster diving a while back in the posts, and figured out the sauce they use, can you tell me where I can buy that? Since that is the easiest part now I guess, then I can try the dough and cheese... ) I do not own a pizza store, I am a just a person who loves MACS!! this is so cool, thanks!!
Thanks, Norma!!! That made me feel a little better as well. Laughter is the best medicine, they say, even if it hurts once and awhile. LOL I haven't heard anything additional concerning a possible new PD location as of yet. Regarding the fact that Papa Dino's is not a boardwalk pizza per se, it does appear to share a common ancestory with the boardwalk-types as it, along with Mack's, Manco's, and even Grotto's are all very similar in construction and flavor profile.
I know Papa Dinos does share a common ancestry with the boardwalk types, being it tastes almost like Macks. When I have chance to visit Papa Ginos if I can get some pictures I will post them on the Restaurant reviews for pizzerias. It is up to the moderators if the Papa Ginos is allowed on this thread since it really isnt a boardwalk pizza. A new thread could always be started if we decide to pursue trying to make a Papa Ginos pizza and links back to this thread could be given.
Norma, you might want to edit your recent post to correct your references to Papa Gino's. I believe you mean Papa Dino's. I think you did the same in an earlier post. Peter
I agree with Norma that it is best not to use this thread to discuss the Papa Dino's style of pizza, given that this thread has been focusing on the Mack's et al style of pizza from pretty much the beginning.
Papas Dino's? What's that? The only reason I brought it up, Peter, is because it was already mentioned earlier in this thread.
Papas Dino's? What's that? The only reason I brought it up, Peter, is because it was already mentioned earlier in this thread.
Norma,I never heard of Papa Dino's until you mentioned it in the early post I referenced and, more recently, by Pete. My brain is locked onto Papa Gino's, not Papa Dino's . In any event, it is all moot at this point.Peter
I think Peter would try to stay away from that thread if we try to recreate one of their pizzas.
LOLOLOL Norma!!! We might have better luck asking one of the Groffs.
Mack's looks like it's suffering from some consistency problems as well, Norma. LOL Speaking of which, just be careful when you thin out the sauce that you don't make it excessively wet. Back in the old days, every once and awhile we'd get Papa Dino's pies from the Lebanon location where the sauce and cheese had homogenized together into one big gooey mess which looked like something we already ate. This was another factor in the origin of the "slime" half of our "Slime and Grime" moniker we had assigned to the pizza besides the standard oiling out of the cheese. In those instances, I believe the sauce was just too watery.

Rated 1 out of 5�by OsmondPortifoy Jump rope's handle detached 1st time using it I was so excited about using my jump rope. I was in the middle of a superset and then "Snap!" the handle detached. I sat there for another 10 minutes trying to figure out how to reattach it and finally gave after I couldn't get the rope handle re-clamped. Finally, I took it back to the store for a refund. I didn't even bother to exchange it. Under normal circumstances, it seems like it would've been a pretty good product. I suggest anyone that's considering buying this product to go ahead and purchase it. You're more than likely to have a better experience than I did. It was just a tough break on my part. March 30, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5�by BostonJay It is what it is The jump rope works just fine. Not a big fan of the wooden handles, but then again I didn't pay attention to that detail when I purchased the product. The leather rope is durable, as long as you're not using it on pavement. Overall, I am pleased with my purchase. March 25, 2015

Rated 4 out of 5�by Papascoles55 Jump rope Good product. Wish leather rope was a little heavier. Im just starting out amd you need to speed the light rope up. Just not that fast.yet. January 21, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5�by EllenvilleB30 Jump Ropes are great cardio... This particular model does't crimp the leather to metal and then be positioned in the handles. Who knows if any manufacturer does; What they did instead is place the rope ends into plastic sleeves. My last rope lasted a month and I did get the exact model to replace it, thanks to Dick's excellent return policy/ customer service. If not for that deficiency in craftsmanship this product alone is worth more than a gym membership. January 21, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Nardo well made! nice simple high quality product at a great price? November 18, 2014

Several months have now past since I have had a clutch fitted to my Corsa 1.3 CDTI by CRD Autos. The car is now running like a dream. I would recommend CDR to anyone. They came down to Glasgow, picked up the car and took it to East Kilbride fitted the clutch and slave cylinder then brought it back to Glasgow. What more could a motorist ask for and all done at a reasonable cost. Many thanks to all at CRD Autos .

Rated 4.4 out of 5�by 9 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5�by FLGolfer81 Great net. Just didn't last as long as I hoped. I have to honestly say I love this net. However, I used it everyday for at least 30minutes. Today I just put a golf ball through the net and into a neighbors house. The net wasn't showing any "wear" signs but all of a sudden there's a rip where the ball hit. I imagine it would last much longer if you don't use it as often as I did. December 14, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Mike64 Product is well built with a quality net The large net is great and it takes less than 10 minutes to set up or take down. I have only had the net for two weeks but I have been very impressed. I like playing games with the chipping target net that is included. I bought the net and Zepp 2 swing tracker to improve my game. The combination is great, as I have dropped 4 strokes off my score. I'm a 14 handicapper headed for single digits. . July 20, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by J52 Great net Shipping was on time. The net is big easy to set up and is good quality. We just use a weight so that it doesn't blow over in the wind, this makes it faster to move. Easy to move inside. October 26, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5�by UncleDW Great Training Aid First, the Dicks in Gainsville Va gets 5 stars all the way around. The service is superb! I also give SKLZ 5 stars for packaging and prompt delivery. I have to give the product 4 stars. I had an issue with the initial set up. The back lower brace bars are to slide into one another and lock with a snap button. One section was perfect. The other got hung up and the snap button immediately broke. I had to sand down one section so it would fit. A small bolt fixed the problem. Be aware of wind direction. The netting is very active if you have a constant breeze. Trust the netting to stop your ball. It will do the job and do it well. Once you get use to it, you can keep your head down and really work on your shot/ swing mechanics. If you are looking for a way to practice without being disturbed, buy this net and stay home!!!! June 15, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by dman2000 SKLZ Quickster 8' Golf Net is a GREAT product! I recently bought 3 of these golf nets for our school and couldn't be happier! Excellent product and easy to set up and take down. Very lightweight so hitting into the net with very windy conditions can be challenging. January 23, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by AZ well made product This net is fast and simple to put up and take down....i use it to warm up the muscles and hit the driver before a round. Many golf courses do not have practice ranges and if you get into the habit of using this before you head out your swing wont feel like a unfolded lawn chair on the first tee thus scoring better early. October 1, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by md14 BEST NET OUT THERE I owned a Callaway Tri-Ball 7' Net for two years and liked it. The downside was putting trying to put it away. The fiberglass rods didn't come out of the nylon net sleeves easily so I would usually take the rear tri-pod rod out and put the net outside my garage with the main arch still set up for the summer and completely disassemble it for the winter. My second year I had to tape a few of the nylon arch areas where the fiberglass rods were wearing through but I got another summer's use out of it. In taking it down for the winter I realized I needed a new net. Come spring I mistakenly bought the Callaway Tri-ball 6' Net... I hated it! The smaller frame needed to be tied down to prevent it from sliding back each time as the ball hit the target (using a 6 iron) or even tip over! After a month the nylon around the main frame was starting to fray so I returned it. I took a shot and ordered the SKLZ Quickster 8' Golf Net and love it. The main advantage is the ability to easily disassemble the unit and store it in the bag. It takes 5 minutes to either put it up or take it down. The net and target are extremely durable and I can forsee using this net for many years to come. Having used three different golf nets this is by far the best value and best functioning net on the market. August 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Golfer Golf Professional Quality product and is easy to set up. We'll worth the cost. March 7, 2014

thanks for the article !! they grow South East Facing slope, on a Hill, and in well drained soil any hills in TX?
No hills around here. Not much in the way of well drained soil either. It's all clay.
Despite a lot of looking. I've never even seen a ramp in person.
I don't think they grow that far South.
When I said "looking," I meant at the market.

NJPDES Permit Fees
The fee schedule is assessed in accordance with the current fee regulations found at N.J.A.C. 7:14A-3.1 (pdf) in order to cover the Department's costs to issue and
manage the NJPDES program.
The Department first established a fee assessment program in 1981.
Individual permit fees are based on the facility's potential environmental impact, the billing rate for the category of discharge, and the minimum
fee for the category of discharge. The billing rate for each category of discharge
is determined annually by subtracting the total minimum fees paid by the permittees in
the category of discharge from the total budget for the category of discharge, and then
dividing that value by the sum of the calculated environmental impact for all of the dischargers within the category.
The NJPDES program rules are set forth at N.J.A.C. 7:14A.
All persons who wish to discharge wastewater in the state are required to obtain a NJPDES discharge permit from the Department.
Pursuant to Section 9 of the State Act, the Department is authorized to "establish and charge reasonable annual
administrative fees, which fees shall be based upon, and shall not exceed, the estimated cost of processing, monitoring
and administering the NJPDES permits." Fees are assessed to cover the Department's costs to issue and manage NJPDES permits.
N.J.S.A. 58:10A-10 provides the Department with the authority to seek civil administrative penalties for
failure to pay assessed NJPDES permit fees.
The NJPDES budget and fee schedule covers activities including:

Police deserve praise
To the Editor:
We just want to express our gratitude to the excellence of the Fairmont Police Department. A lot of times, the police are given a bad rap but never given credit for all of the good they do to serve the general public. Well done.
We would like to extend a sincere thank you from our family to Chief Greg Brolsma for his professionalism during the time we lost our daughter and sister, Kelli. We thank Officer Spee for his sincerity; Officer Bleess for making the effort to form a search for Kelli and overall compassion that came from the heart; Officer Hunter for his concern and genuine caring during some tough times with Kelli. Even though four years have gone by since she passed on, your thoughtfulness will never be forgotten.
Kudos to the whole department for all of its hard work and dedication in serving our community. Thank you.
Please support the Fairmont Police Officers Association and give them the recognition they deserve.
Dave Cordes, Jessica Zanke
and Amber Cordes

"War has erupted between clean-air activists and state leaders, with the battleground being the data driving decisions about Utah's air quality" http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/politics/55897566-90/utah-pollution-data-county.html.csp?page=1. Do not be mistaken, the numbers do matter. To solve any problem, we first need to identify the major causes. The data helps us do this. However, this war of numbers does confuse the issue, and probably on purpose. The Governor would love us to spend all of our energies engaging him over whether or not his data is accurate or fair or meaningful, but this isn't the real war.
First, we can slice the pie into however many pieces we want, but in the end, the pie is gone. Even if an 11% contribution from industry were credible, we first demand to see the current mess cleaned up, then we can discuss expansion of industry.
But instead of that reasonable approach, Governor Herbert would like us to keep fighting over data from now until spring because as an added benefit, framing the "war" this way, makes environmental groups look anti-business. When in doubt the public will prefer the lower, less-concerning numbers of the state and conclude that the real motive of environmental groups must be to shut down industry. Personally, I don't have a problem with industry. I have a problem with industry poisoning our airshed, and I think whatever the true pollution figures, industry in our bowl-shaped valley should pride itself on taking leadership in best environmental practice. Why accept mediocrity?
And that takes us to the final point. Why should industry, or anyone else, clean up their act, even if it costs more? Because conservation is a virtue in and of itself, and wastefulness is shameful no matter how richly blessed we are. Here lies the penultimate battle.
Recently, I was driving my husband's Nissan Leaf up I-15 in medium traffic. I was driving 68 mph and being tailgated by an enormous 4X4 diesel Ford pick-up truck. The truck passed on my left, cut in front of me, put on the breaks, then floored the accelerator. In one loud roar, that truck spewed a black cloud of exhaust big enough to lose my Leaf in.
Clearly this "gentleman" (I have other words I would prefer to use, but probably they wouldn't make it past any browser filters), was trying to make some kind of point about how stupid I was for driving an electric vehicle. This man wants it to remain socially acceptable to pollute, just for the sake of polluting, and my electric vehicle represents a challenge to that way of thinking.
The real war isn't in determining how much of a percent that diesel 4X4 contributes to the problem. We fight the real war in convincing that truck's driver that senseless polluting and waste will no longer be tolerated in our society. As long as people carelessly and willfully pollute, simply because they can, industry will exploit that apathy for profit and to our detriment. We may battle the Governor and his policies, but the driver of that truck elected the Governor.

To plunk or not to plunk? What Hamels' suspension means to baseballPosted Wednesday, May 9, 2012, at 1:26 PM
Unlike most, I have no beef with Cole Hamels decision to plunk Bryce Harper Sunday night. I do think it would have been preferable to wait until he shows the attitude he's shown in the minor leagues, but in general, plunkings are just part of baseball.
Frankly, the whole issue worked itself out. Harper, post-plunk, made his way around the bases and eventually stole home. Score settled.
In the next inning, Zimmerman decided to plunk Hamels. Again, that's just baseball. If you do the plunking, you can expect that you or one of your teammates will be plunked in return.
After Hamels was hit, the umpire warned both benches, rather calmly even.
At that point the situation was handled in the "baseball way."
What I do have a problem with was Hamels blatantly admitting to hitting Harper and "going old school" on him.
So far, in his short major league stint, Harper has actually been quite mature as compared to the horror stories of the arrogant young man in the minors we have all heard of.
Eventually he will earn a ball in the ribs, I have no doubt, but so far he hasn't. He will be a polarizing player and he's the kind of guy who will eat that up.
I don't buy into the argument that "he's just a kid" and shouldn't have been hit. He's a major league baseball player. At the moment he stepped onto the grass at Dodger Stadium last Saturday, he ceased to be a 19-year-old kid. I kind of consider it his "welcome to bigs, kiddo."
Hamels' honesty in the matter, which is a bit refreshing, means that a suspension was imminent. MLB had no choice.
Monday, the league decided to suspend Hamels for five games.
For some players, five games is a suspension; but not for a starter. All five games means is that Hamels' turn in the rotation will be delayed by one day. He'll still have the same number of starts at the end of the season that he would have anyway.
I've heard several suggestions of how to handle this, but the most common is simply illogical. Many people seem to think the answer is to suspend the player for five starts, but it's not that simple.
When you suspend a position player for five games, the dynamics are very different. Take for instance Matt Holliday. Those five games, if you assume he will play 150 games, are only three percent of his season.
With a starting pitcher, on the other hand, losing five starts of a possible 35 is like losing 14 percent of his entire season.
It's simply not right to handle it that way.
The other issue with the five game suspension is that you have now set a precedent of virtually not punishing starting pitchers for hitting batters.
As of Monday evening, any starter could hit a batter and then scream at the top of his lungs from the pitchers mound that he did it on purpose knowing that his only punishment will be that his next start will be one day late. That is, aside from the small fine, of course.
Not only is this scenario possible (without the mound screaming, of course), but it's highly likely. I can totally see Chris Carpenter, when he returns, doing exactly that. On the other hand, Carp might actually scream it from the mound (gotta love a bulldog).
The way this should have been handled is to suspend him for 10 games. That guarantees that he misses at least one start. That one start is enough to prevent pitchers from taking advantage of the precedent, but not be a ridiculous penalty at the same time. After all, getting plunked is just part of baseball.
The funniest part of the whole Harper-Hamels situation is that after Hamels talked to reporters and the Nationals GM Mike Rizzo trashed Hamels in return. It appears that the immature 19-year-old phenom kid has actually handled it in the most mature way. He took his medicine, and then made Hamels pay.
That's good baseball.

I dont see how Hamels thinks he is "old school" enough to welcome Harper to the bigs. Atleast wait until the kid does something, trash talk, act arrogant. However, it did all work out. Zimmerman would have lost respect from me had he not retaliated. This all, in my opinion, makes Hamels look like the immature one here, who got what was coming to him

Hitting people on purpose, is a part of baseball??? What kind of crap is that! All that encourages is getting people hurt! I cannot believe that an educated person, like yourself, would actually say that throwing a baseball at somebody, deliberately, 80+ miles a hour, is ok and is part of baseball! Any youngster that reads this take it for what it is, crap. Nobody "deserves" to get a baseball thrown at them on purpose! Getting hit with a pitch is part of baseball, but not throwing at someone on purpose trying to hurt them! Would you want someone throwing at your kid during a game??? I would think not.
-- Posted by tooldogging on Wed, May 9, 2012, at 10:44 AM
CoreyOf course it shouldn't be a part of little league baseball and that is not at all what I said. Noone SHOULD be hitting anyone, but they do. In the big leagues, whether it should be or not, it is a fact of the game. It happens. Most guys don't do it, but sometimes they do. How many games have you watched where a player was hit and then another was hit in retaliation? If it wasn't intentional why would an umpire EVER warn a pitcher or manager? Hamels, on the other hand, was different because it was unprovoked. Is it right? No. But, Harper turned around and stole home on Hamels getting his revenge. When Zimmerman hit Hamels, do you think that was an accident? It was retaliation. It may not be right, but in the big leagues those things happen.
Hamels is just the first in a long line to brag about it and by setting a precedent and not giving him an "actual suspension," I'm afraid they opened the floodgates.
Ever heard of Hall of Famer Bob Gibson?
'Plunking' is a part of the game and every fan knows it. A good plunk is always justified by crowding the plate, a teamate getting plunked, a smart mouth making comments about your team, or showing a pitcher up by standing at home plate admiring a homerun or blowing a pitcher a kiss while rounding the bases after hitting a homerun.
Consider Harper's plunk a welcome to the big leagues and a warning that his childish antics from the past will not be tolerated in the majors.
-- Posted by greer958 on Wed, May 9, 2012, at 11:36 AM
Yeah, that makes it "ok", so I guess if you go by those kinds of guidelines, charging the mound and such childish antics are ok also? This is just grown men embellishing their egos, acting like children. You will never convince me that this kind of egomaniac behavior is ok. Welcome to the majors my butt!

I am thinking of buying a small, high fire zisha (according to the vendor) teapot for oolongs. I prefer dark, fruity dancongs but there are other oolongs I enjoy. I don't have the budget to buy multiple teapots at the moment. Would it be ok to brew mostly dancongs in the pot but occasionally brew other oolongs, or should I stick to just dancong until I get a new teapot?
Edit: The other oolongs would be wuyi

Rock Thrown From I-5 Overpass Causes Accident
By Jim McCoy
Tue 27th November
car accident
rock throwing
to post comments
Oregon State Police troopers from the Roseburg Area Command office are asking for the public's help to identify the person(s) responsible for throwing a rock from an Interstate 5 overpass just south of Rice Hill Monday night. The rock went through a vehicle's windshield, hitting the female driver in the face causing non-life threatening injuries. At 10:40 p.m., a 1997 Subaru Legacy station wagon driven by 20-year old Molly Grabill from Poway, California, was northbound on I-5 near milepost 146 approaching the Isadore Road overpass. A rock larger than a baseball came down from the overpass, smashing through the driver's side windshield and hit GRABILL in the face. The car's passenger, Chris Brewer, grabbed the steering wheel to control the vehicle. He was unable to keep it under control as the vehicle traveled onto the shoulder and rolled on the freeway coming to rest facing the opposite direction. Grabill was transported by ambulance to Sacred Heart Medical Center at Riverbend in Springfield for treatment of her injuries. Brewer was also transported and he was treated and released for injuries sustained in the traffic crash. Grabill is reported in good condition this morning. Both are University of Oregon students. Anyone with information about persons or vehicles near the mentioned location around the time of this incident is asked to call OSP Detective Tom Willis at (541) 440-3334 or the OSP Southern Command Center dispatch at (541) 440-3333.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (98 votes).
In short: A very tough race, but absolutely unbelievableIn full: This was my first ever marathon. The course was extremely tough, and the weather even worse. But, all the pain and the training was worth it. Will surely do it again.Date of review: August 16, 2012
In short: Marvellous, mad, memorable marathonIn full: I have to start with the marshals, who were fabulous, helpful, encouraging, safety-conscious in a good way. Some stood isolated on the hill in pouring rain for hours. Total dedication. You knew you would be ok whatever happened. A little of every type of terrain on this well-marked course, mostly made more demanding by the relentless rain on top of weeks of wet weather. The game of avoiding a full muddy foot soaking at every step certainly helped the miles go by, along with the gorgeous ever-changing route. The views were close and misty, but still wonderful. Everyone seemed to be there to enjoy themselves. It was my first marathon. I fully expected to suffer, but everything about this race keeps you going, so I would say it is surprisingly beginner-friendly. (Free kendal mint cake and nuun drinks helped too.) Th organisers create a superb atmosphere even in these conditions. In return you have to accept some quirks, like registering in person the day before for the early race and having 3 minutes added to your time because it started 3 minutes late(!?) An experience not to be missed by anyone who enjoys the country. You can even walk if you want! I seriously doubt any other race I ever enter will beat this one.Date of review: July 11, 2012
In short: Tough trail marathon in glorious sceneryIn full: Harder than advertised- hills, boggy ground, some scrambling in places- but the fantastic lakeland scenery made it all worthwhile, despite the incessant rain! This was my 27th marathon and definitely the hardest yet- I'd recommend adding 45 minutes to1 hour to your standard marathon time. Organisation was very good and post race t-shirt medal and food all to a good standard. Recommended. Date of review: July 9, 2012
In short: Great Marathon!In full: Such a good run! Everything a trail marathon should be, plenty of varied terrain and interesting sections to keep you on your toes. Loved this run, have already signed up for next year. It is a challenging course but exactly what was expected as the title suggests 'trail' marathon. Date of review: July 8, 2012
In short: wet this year.In full: my second coniston marathon. i just love the lake district. just signed up for 2013. thanks to all. can we keep the t shirts the same as 2011 please, much nicer, see you at the 7th.Date of review: July 7, 2012
In short: Very Hard CourseIn full: Not quite sure why everyone is raving over this event I found it to be a very hard course. I can cope with the hills but I spent the last half of the marathon staring at my feet due to the nature of the trails. Kilometre markers were way out which is not a major issue and what the hell was the compulsorary hat gloves tights and jacket about? Date of review: July 6, 2012
In short: Incredible! Final third is brutal though...!In full: Incredible event! Amazing course with lots of variety on the trails - some hard packed gravel, some cross country field type stuff, some forest / tree route paths, some very rocky sections, and some very boggy sections. The slide show on the website does the course no justice at all! A word of warning to anyone considering it: save plenty for the final 12k - its very very difficult.Date of review: July 4, 2012
In short: tough course, but a glorious locationIn full: Organisation and marshalls were excellent, unsurprisingly on a wet day in the Lakes, there was plenty of mud. Date of review: July 4, 2012
In short: Absolutely stunning course. Terrain mixed with some challanging fell like sectionsIn full: Wonderful race despite or perhaps because of the weather. The rain was fairly heavy which affected the trail conditions. The route had a mix of tar roads, forest roads, forest tracks and hill routes. Trail shoes were a real advantage in the wet conditions. I absolutely loved the scenery, which was very reminiscent of Loch Lomond which was my home for eight years. The organisation was spot on. Due to the terrain its not a fast course but it is a wonderful course.Date of review: July 3, 2012
In short: A bit of everything, and a bit more.In full: Not one for the faint hearted. An amazing event - lots of challenging sections, interspersed with easier recovery sections. I'm told there were some outstanding views - will have to take their word for that!The marshalls were soem of the best I've ever come across, remaining cherfull and supportive even in the most out of the way and exposed places.The commentator at the end was also doing a great job to keep everyone's interest despite the weather.Put maybe purely because it's a long way from Portsmouth, but will probably be back.Date of review: July 3, 2012

To the Annual Convention of the Islamic Society of North America
Chicago, US
3 September 2005
(Taped message)
I am honoured to have this opportunity to address the 42nd Annual Convention of the Islamic Society of North America.
You meet at a crucial moment in history, a crossroads for the entire international Islamic community. Together we face serious choices. Together we must find the right path. Be we Arab, American, Persian, Turkish, from the subcontinent, Indonesian, Malaysian, African, European, Chinese, or of any other land, it is time for us to return to the traditional teachings of Islam, time to apply the principles espoused by God and His blessed Messenger – peace and blessings be upon him – to the issues of our day.
The American Muslim community provides a unique example of how Muslims throughout the world can join together. Among you are Muslims from every nation. Indeed, perhaps the only other place to see such diversity of the Muslim community is at the annual Hajj in Makka Al Mukarrama. This is a sign upon which we must all reflect, for as God says in the Holy Quran: "We have made you peoples and tribes that you may come to know one another".
In Jordan, we have been working with the international Islamic community in the struggle to oppose extremist interpretations of Islam. The greatest enemies of Islam are those who distort the teachings bestowed upon us by God and His Messenger, 'alayhi as-salaatu wa-s-salaam. It is time for us to stand together, to reaffirm what the greatest scholars of our tradition have said: no Muslim can call another Muslim a non-believer. Whichever of the eight great schools of jurisprudence you follow – Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi'i, Hanbali, Ja'fari, Zaydi, Ibadi, or Zhahiri – you are a Muslim. Your life, honour and property cannot be violated. In Jordan last July, these principles were confirmed by over 180 top scholars from around the world. They came from 45 countries, representing all the Mathahib of Sunni, Shi'ite and Ibadi Islam – and all Islam's currents, including Sufism. They also took an important step by reaffirming the traditional qualifications for issuing a fatwa. We have all heard extremists try to justify their political agendas, by issuing pseudo-fatwas. These distort Islam. It is our responsibility, before God, before His Messenger and before our fellow human beings, to denounce those who betray the Islamic tradition. If we remain silent, we are complicit in their guilt.
No matter what insults or offences Muslims may have suffered, nothing justifies taking innocent lives, no matter what religion or nationality they may be. Our way is to follow the Holy Quran and the sunna of the Prophet Mohammad – peace and blessings be upon him. Even if we are offended or wronged, we must remember that God Himself has commanded us:
"Let not the hatred of the people – because they hindered you from the Sacred Mosque – incite you to transgress. Help one another in goodness and reverence, and do not help one another in sin and aggression."
And: "O ye who believe, be upright for God, witnesses in justice; and let not the hatred of a people cause you to be unjust. Be just — that is closer to piety."
To bring this message of forgiveness and reconciliation is part of our role in the world, not only among Muslims, but among all humankind. Only in this way can true justice, and the peace that derives from justice, be achieved.
The Prophet – peace and blessings be upon him – has told us: "None of you truly believes until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself." I hope that you all will continue to work with your fellow Americans, using the channels available to you, in a free and open society – a society where all Muslims are legally free to openly practice their religion – to bring to fruition these teachings of the Prophet – peace and blessings be upon him – so that all may benefit from them.
May Allah bless you all. Our whole Umma has high hopes in Allah and in you.
Thank you. Peace be upon you.
