Megamouth shark
The megamouth shark, Megachasma pelagios, is an extremely rare species of deepwater shark. Since being discovered in 1976, only a few megamouth sharks have been seen with 51 specimens known to have been caught or sighted as of 2010 and three recordings on film. Like the basking shark and whale shark, it is a filter feeder, and swims with its enormous mouth wide open, filtering water for plankton and jellyfish. It is distinctive for its large head with rubbery lips. It is so unlike any other type of shark that it is classified in its own family Megachasmidae, though it has been suggested that it may belong in the family Cetorhinidae of which the basking shark is currently the sole member.
Physical characteristics
The appearance of the megamouth is distinctive, but little else is known about it. It has a brown-black like color on top and white underneath, and an asymmetrical tail with a long upper lobe, similar to the thresher shark. The interior of its gill slits are lined with finger-like gill rakers that capture its food. A relatively poor swimmer, the megamouth has a soft, flabby body and lacks keels.
Megamouths are very large sharks, able to grow to 5.5 metres (18 ft) in length. Males mature by 4 metres (13 ft) and females by 5 metres (16 ft). Weights of up to 1,215 kilograms (2,680 lb) have been reported.
As their name implies, megamouths have a large mouth with small teeth, and a broad, rounded snout, causing observers to occasionally mistake megamouth for a young orca. The mouth is surrounded by luminous photophores, which may act as a lure for plankton or small fish.
In 1990 a 16 foot (4.9 m) male megamouth shark was caught near the surface off Dana Point in California. This individual was eventually released with a small radio tag attached to its soft body. The tag relayed depth and time information over a two day period. During the day the shark cruised at a depth of around 400-525 feet (120-160 m), but as the sun set, it would ascend and spend the night at depths of between 39 to 80 feet (12 and 25 m). Both day and night its progress was very slow at around 1 to 1.3 MPH (1.5-2.1 km/h). This pattern of vertical migration is seen in many marine animals as they track the movement of plankton in the water body.[1] The shark captured in March 2009 was reportedly netted at a depth of 200 m (660 ft. .
Reproduction is ovoviviparous, meaning that the young sharks develop in eggs that remain within the mother's body until they hatch.
The first megamouth was captured on November 15, 1976 about 25 miles off the coast from Kaneohe, Hawaii when it became entangled in the sea anchor of a United States Navy ship. Examination of the 14-1/2 foot (4.5 m), 1650 lb (750 kg) specimen by Leighton Taylor showed it to be an entirely unknown type of shark, making it one of the more sensational discoveries in 20th century ichthyology (see also coelacanth).
Known specimens
In the 30 years since its discovery, as of 2009 only 47 megamouth specimens have been caught or sighted. They have been found in the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian oceans. At least ten specimens have been found in the vicinity of each of Japan and Taiwan, more than any other single area. Specimens have also been pulled from the waters near Hawaii, California, the Philippines, Indonesia, Australia, Brazil, Senegal, South Africa, and Ecuador.
On March 30, 2009 off Burias Island in the Philippines, a 880 - 1,100 pound (400- to 500-kilogram) 4-metre (13-foot) megamouth shark died while struggling in a fisherman's net and was subsequently taken to nearby Donsol in Sorsogon province, where it was examined by scientists, before being butchered and sold.[2][3][4]

Save your tokens, boys
To the editor:
During the past two years, while advocating the conversion of the existing rail tracks through the Adirondacks to a rail trail, I would occasionally hear an argument that went something like this: "Mass transit is the thing of the future; we should keep the track so it will be there when we need it." None of these people intended to actually use the mass transit; they wanted it there for someone else. What they were really saying was, "We need the sacred rail corridor, but it's really not too important that tracks be on it." Well, with a rail trail in place, the sacred corridor is intact.
That not withstanding, some new figures indicate that maybe "mass" transit is not all that some people think it's cracked up to be. Quoting from a recent article in the Wall Street Journal by Randal O'Toole, "According to data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics – counting both user costs and subsidies – public transportation costs nearly four times as much per passenger mile as driving, while Amtrak costs well over twice as much."
The New York State Department of Transportation should consider these finding as it decides the future of the transportation corridor from Remsen to Lake Placid. The overwhelming social good of the corridor is to convert it to a rail trail. The only weak argument for a railroad is refuted economically by the above findings. The decision should be clear. We can all throw away our tokens.

More so than ever, our pro team riders are searching for a performance board that can perform well in 1 foot through to 5 feet. MONSTA has been 2012's go to model for all of our pro team based on its versatility in all conditions. For example- Jack Freestone rides MONSTA every day using measurements 60 x 18 7/8 x 2 5/16. MONSTA- X sees him riding 511 x 19 x 2 3/8, JS has made the rocker flatter, deepened concave and a flatter exit rocker. The extra thickness and width creates more outline curve and overall volume.

Maintenance is an area that's totally foreign to most pilots, even those who own aircraft. Technicians have to deal with the same types of responsibility and regulations pilots do, however, so it's good to know exactly what it is they do. Among those responsibilities is the authority to return an aircraft back to serviceable condition. It's important to learn now what that means and what it doesn't.
Part 43 of the federal aviation regulations specifies issues surrounding aircraft maintenance. Section 43.5 details returning an aircraft to service, and the first thing you'll notice when you read it is that it says nothing about a qualified airframe and powerplant technician having to approve an aircraft for return to service. The reason is because aircraft owners and operators can do certain maintenance tasks on their own aircraft and make the necessary endorsements. Those tasks can be found in FAR 43 Appendix A. Section 43.5 is very basic. It boils down to three points–that the person returning to service must make a logbook entry, that the repair be made in accordance with a manner prescribed by the FAA, and that any change resulting in a performance or limitation change be noted appropriately in the flight manual.
Although simple in nature, the implications of the regulation are huge. Endorsements are the FAA's equivalent of signing your name in blood. Flight instructors know this well. To put an endorsement in a logbook is to put your certificate on the line. It's the same for flight instructors and mechanics. What that means for pilots is that in most cases, properly qualified maintenance technicians can be trusted to do their best to make the airplane safe and not return it to service before it's ready. That's evident in accident statistics where fewer than 20 percent of which are maintenance-related (that includes airborne failures of components that haven't been previously worked on).
With that being said, mistakes do happen. There have been documented cases of accidents that occurred as a result of a maintenance flub. As a pilot, you can do some simple things to avoid such a situation.
1. Get to know your maintenance personnel
If your school doesn't have a shop and you don't already know these professionals, make the effort to go to the shop where work on your school aircraft is done. The benefits to having a personal connection with a maintenance tech are many. Most will let you look over their shoulder while they work, which means you'll get some intimate knowledge not only of the type of work these folks do, but also the systems on your airplane. They can be a go-to source for systems questions, and you'll less intimated in the future to casually ask them about an issue with your training airplane. Plus, maybe you'll find your mechanic for your own future airplane in the process.
2. Read maintenance logbooks
Knowing who did what to the airplane is imperative. Many schools make this quite difficult because the maintenance logs are understandably locked away for safe keeping. But if an airplane's been down–or even if it hasn't–take the time to study the logs and ensure you know what has been done to it in the recent past.
3. Do thorough preflight checks
This point can't be overstated. If you've ever wondered why we do a control check before takeoff, maintenance is one of the reasons. Many accidents have been caused by aircraft controls being hooked up backward after maintenance. This is especially true of the annual or 100-hour inspections, where these components are inspected. A control check is cheap and quick insurance against a senseless accident. There are many such examples of this. Carefully checking things such as oil, inspection plates, tires, and cockpit instruments could save you a heap of trouble.
Although some owners can fall into these traps, it's much easier for them to keep track of maintenance records because they retain possession of the important documents. But students are no less immune to the issue. They just have to try harder to keep up with it.
Ever find a maintenance problem after the airplane has been returned to service or know someone who has? Tell us about it.

My quads are still sore! Done a couple of 5 milers since but enjoying a well earned rest week.
Frenchy that was fantastic, other ultra organizers should take part in your series to see how it should be done. The whole day was great.
Sorry our paths never crossed T I'm certainly not fast sub 9 but sure we'll catch up soon. Lirish and my paths have crossed many times and we still haven't met. Might carry a banner at the SDW to grab his attention.
Should be pleased with my 9th place series finish but the fact that there was only 17 of us doesn't really give me bragging rights does it.
Will there be a 2012/2013 series?
*Dill* sub-9 is very fast by my standards. No real problems with tiredness or legs - just mashed feet. Haven't run since - even walking's been painful. Feeling a bit better today which is just as well because I have Cardiff ultra on Sunday.
Those mountains were spectacular and that run will stay in my memory for a long time.
Hello All,

To keep on topic a bit, this was the same formula as before with 70% hydration. I'm not sure of the dough handling but fermentation was I think 8 hrs bulk in the fridge, 8 hrs bulk at 65F, 14hrs balled in the fridge, 4 hrs 65-70F.The dough looked like it handled much better then all room temp fermentation. There was one really well stretched dough that was a bit overloaded that got stuck on the peel, but with some rice/wheat flour mix we were able to get it moving and into the oven. She even did shot the peel under a few pizzas to pick them up like I've seen at various places but never had the guts to try myself. She did really well.
Great looking pies... What's the toping on the second pie (besides onion)?
It's fresh mozz, pistachio, red onion, olive oil and rosemary. I love that pizza.

Pitbulls are not bad dogs
To the editor:
We are taught from the very beginning to not judge a book by its cover and to give everyone a fair chance, no matter what we are told or think. Although a pitbull is not a book, why judge a breed of dog by what they are put through? Just as our parents teach us what is right and wrong, it's the owners' job to teach their pets right from wrong. Dogs can't just do it, they have to learn, just like each and every one of us.
According to ASPCA's website (www.aspca.org) there are actually only three different kinds of breeds that are pitbulls, such as the American Pitbull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, and the Staffordshire Bull Terrier. There are about nine other breeds of dogs that are mistaken for pitbulls such as the Boxer, Dog Argentino, Persa Canario, Tosa Inu, Cane Corso, Bullmastiff, Alapaha Blue Blood Bulldog, Doque de Bordeaux, and the Olde English Bulldog. All these breeds aren't given a fair chance at proving they are intelligent, loving, and loyal breeds. According to March Setter (www.understand-a-bull.com), pitbulls are used for a lot of helpful needs such as Registered Therapy Dogs in nursing homes and hospitals, and there is a Pitbull Search and Rescue team.
Also, Joshua Holland stated on www.alternet.org that the United Kennel club recognized that the American Pitbill was seen as the perfect "nanny dog" because of its friendly nature, stability and loyalty. There are many ways to prevent a dog from becoming aggressive. ASACP stated that early socialization during puppy years is essential. If a puppy has little to no experience with other dogs as a puppy, then the dog might become afraid and that might turn into aggression as the dog matures into adulthood. many good experiences will have less of an impact on the bad experience.
People believe pitbulls are a dog breed that should be banned but I believe that they are a very joyful, exciting dogs who are just extremely misunderstood. I have owned a couple pitbulls who would make my day go from a bad day to a good say just by having them by my side. Every pitbull I have owned has been kind, loyal, cheerful, and was always the joy of my life. They deserve a chance, just like each and everyone of us, they don't deserve to be shoved aside and banned because everyone doesn't feel like getting to know how they actually are and give them a fair second chance.

ANAHEIM, Calif. (Nov. 19, 2008) - Players from the U.S. Men's National Team continue to face each other in their European leagues, particularly in Russia where six players are contributing on four teams.
On Saturday, Gabe Gardner's Ural Ufa team went up against Lloy Ball, Clay Stanley and Zenit Kazan. After a marathon 2-hour, 7-minute match, Kazan came up with the 3-2 (25-20, 21-25, 25-18, 25-27, 19-17) victory.
Stanley (Honolulu, Hawai'i), who was the United States' starting opposite last summer as the team won the FIVB World League and the Olympic Games, led all scorers with 26 points on 18 kills, two blocks and six aces.
Gardner (San Clemente, Calif.), who backed up Stanley at opposite on the U.S. team, scored 15 points for Ufa on 12 kills, two blocks and one ace.
Kazan team captain Ball (Fort Wayne, Ind.), who is the setter, scored three points on one kill, one block and one ace.

Kazan is also playing in the CEV Indesit Champions League and is undefeated after beating Paris Volley on Nov. 12, 3-0 (25-23, 25-23, 25-21).
Kazan now sits in fourth place in the Russian league and will face third-place Fakel Novy Urengoi, featuring U.S. players Kevin Hansen (Newport Beach, Calif.) and Sean Rooney (Wheaton, Ill.) on Nov. 22.
Fakel improved its standing by defeating second-place Iskra Odintsovo, 3-2 (25-21, 22-25, 25-17, 22-25, 20-18) on Nov. 16. Rooney played the first three sets and scored eight points on seven kills and one block.
Hansen played at setter for all five sets but did not score a point.

There is evidence that what has happened in the last thousand years is not necessarily the worst-case event."California, Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia. Some of those studies have certainly been done in Japan as well, and several years ago Japanese researchers published a paper that suggested the past tsunamis were much, much larger than any that had been observed in historic times. The sand sheets particularly in some areas of Hokkaido and northern Honshu extended much, much further inland than the historic record suggested. And there certainly has been some discussion that earthquakes as large as low- to mid- magnitude 9 were possible in that area. I don't know if that information had been incorporated into any of the planning for this event. But there was certainly some evidence that suggested that what had happened in the last thousand or so years was not necessarily the worst-case event.
At the top of the list of things we need to work on is public awareness and public education."coastlines, killing many forests of western red cedar, redwood trees, pines, and spruce. The western red cedar, though, is a particularly important tree because it doesn't rot very quickly and there are still today stands of ghost forests, these western red cedar that died in that event. Because there are still living trees from the same grove that were a little higher up, it is possible using the science of dentrochronology [reading tree rings] to actually create the time history of those trees and when they died. If you're really careful and work on the roots, you can actually figure out the death date of those trees. That was done in southern Washington State and they found seven trees they could actually get a good death date on. And of those seven trees, six of them put on 1699 growth rings and did not put on 1700 growth rings. And as I said from the Japan written records, the tsunami came on January 26, 1700.

The Solar Bat Captain Sunglasses deliver sleek wrap around comfort and protection designed to fit average sized faces. Donning a polished black pattern with gunmetal trim, the frames are constructed from high performance TR90 material, yielding lightweight, rugged durability. The temple boots and nose pads are also made from a Solar Bat exclusive TGC (Temperature Controlled Grip) material, which actually increases facial grip, as the temperature gets hotter - so your glasses never slip down your face.
Solar Bat was started by optometrist and avid outdoorsman, Dr. Gary Nesty in 1994 to provide superior eye protection products specifically designed for outdoor enthusiasts. He spent nine years prior to starting Solar Bat researching and developing, which included significant field testing by dedicated hunters and anglers. The Solar Bat pro staff boasts some of the best known names in professional bass fishing, including six (6) Bassmaster Classic Champions and six (6) Angler of the Year Champions as a testament to their quality and performance.
All Solar Bat lenses are constructed of proprietary Noctular Lens Material. It far exceeds government standards for impact resistance and is infinitely safer to wear than glass or hard resin lenses. Delivering the ultimate polarization for maximum visibility in bright light, high glare situations, the polarizing film is encapsulated within the lens so it will never peel off or fade. Solar Bat also double coats each Noctular lens, both front and back surfaces, with a super scratch resistant coating for additional durability. The curves of each lens are optically correct to provide you with the highest level of visual acuity possible, greatly reducing eye strain, and in addition, Solar Bat uses selective wavelength filtration technology to highlight sport specific colors, while bleaching out color distractions.
Amber - Highlights browns and filters out blue light. Excellent tint for flat light conditions. 16% transmission.
Gray - Nuetral filtration. Filters all colors equally. Superior all-purpose tint. 14% transmission.
HiCon Yellow - Brightens your environment. High-contrast lens for low light levels. 27% transmission.
Mossback - Brightens greens and bleaches out browns, making fish and under water cover more visible. Great for sight fishing. 15% transmission.
Mossback Gradient - Two different tints within one lens. The Top 55% is Mossyback and the Bottom 45% is HiCon Yellow. Ultimate tint for fishing. 27%/15% transmission.

Comments: These glasses wrap around very nicely, and the polarized lenses work as well as other high end glasses I own. I was impressed at how quicky Solar Bat repaired my glasses after I scratched one of the lenses.

Last year, more than 100 journalists were killed globally -- a 20 percent increase from 2011. Many were targeted directly for their work, often in areas of active conflict. Given the importance of journalism to the international community's understanding of conflict, including on-the-ground assessments, the United States will convene a special session of the UN Security Council to highlight the importance of protecting journalists in the field.
In support of this topic, the U.S. Mission to the United Nations, the StateDepartment's Office of eDiplomacy, the United States Institute of Peace, and the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism are organizing a TechCamp workshop in New York City on July 25-26, 2013, to bring together journalists working in conflict zones, non-governmental organizations and othersthat provide assistance to them, government and UN officials, and technologists. Unlike traditional conferences, TechCamps are structured "unconferences," emphasizing participant-generated content, hands-on learning, and networking. Avoiding the usual speaker-audience divide, a majority of the conference is spent in small group discussions and workshops, allowing participants to share their unique challenges and spend time with technology experts who can walk them through possible tech solutions.
Thus far, there have been 23 TechCamps held all over the world. As a result of TechCamp Moldova, civil society, developers, and the eGovernment Center of Moldova launched two mobile apps -- an education portal with information about schools in Moldova and a government spending tracker to promote transparency among government officials. At TechCamp Honduras, participants worked with an American non-governmental organization to create an SMS-based platform that allows citizens to report crimes and threats anonymously to a confidential database maintained by a grassroots civic association.
At TechCampNYC we hope to add to these successes by finding the appropriate tech solution to address problems journalists face in conflict zones. Innovative activities include interactive training stations on cutting edge programs and "speed geeking" -- in which technologists give five-minute presentations to groups of journalists to help find their right technology "match." Issues we will explore include verifying sources in conflict areas, anonymous fact-checking and filing mobile applications, and coping with trauma, all with the goal ofa community and an interface to share best practices and technologies to protect journalists around the world. Their work is crucial to the international community's understanding of conflict and, as President Obama has frequently said, to fostering innovative, successful, and stable democracies.
If you are interested in attending TechCampNYC, please apply HERE. Participation is free. TechCampNYC will be held at the CUNY Graduate School for Journalism's Tow-Knight Center for Entrepreneurial Journalism (219 W 40th Street, New York, NY). Check out our website at TechCampGlobal.org/NYC. If you have any questions, please free to email us at email@example.com.

Foxconn Technology Group on Wednesday demonstrated further intentions to diversify its business by signing a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Metro Group of Germany to form a joint venture that will operate retail stores in mainland China. The future retail chain will be yet another "3C" chain of outlets that will sell computers, communication equipment and consumer electronics.
"The consumer electronics channel of Metro Group (of Germany) is the market leader in Europe; through mainland China's strategic alliance with Metro, Foxconn Technology Group shall be able to provide strategic partner customers a more complete and efficient end-to-end services," a statement by Foxconn (the official trademark of Hon Hai Precision Industry) with Taiwan Stock Exchange reads.
By helping to establish a retail chain in China, Foxconn will not only be able to help its customers to sell products made under contract at its manufacturing facilities, but will also be able to eventually sell own-brand products in those stores. In addition, the firm diversifies its revenue streams and also establishes better ties with a huge customer in Europe.
Media Markt and Saturn stores operated by Metro Group in fifteen European countries are well known for lowest prices as well as many bargains offered to consumers. But in order to be successful in China, Metro either had to acquire a well-established retail chain in the country, the way it expanded in Europe, or find a financially and preferably technologically and logistically strong partner within the country to build a new network of outlets. Foxconn seems to be a perfect ally for Metro's expansion into China.
"China is the fastest growing large economy in the world. Since we already are assortment and price leader in Europe, we are well-positioned for the growth strategy for China with our strong joint-venture partner. We look forward for the co-operation with Foxconn Technology Group," said Dr. Eckhard Cordes, chief executive officer of Metro Group.
The joint venture between Foxconn and Metro will be based in Shanghai, China. The first store is projected to be opened in 2010 in Shanghai as well.

Fanciers of Shetlands began importing these hardy little ponies from the Shetland Isles and Europe in the late 1800s. Immediately, the earliest enthusiasts embarked on a road to improve the quality of stock by selectively breeding for improvement and, thereby, established a truly American pony. Today's American Shetland and all its divisions are tributes to the goals of those early pony enthusiasts who sought to create beautiful, elegant and brilliantly animated ponies.
The American Shetland Pony Club was established in 1888 to govern the burgeoning interest in Shetlands in the U.S. Founders wanted to establish the purity of the stock and to maintain a reliable record of pedigrees and transfers for the American Shetland Pony.
Today, the ASPC, Inc., is the oldest small equine registry in existence and one of the oldest equine governing bodies in the United States. In addition to fostering and building the American Shetland over the last 120-plus years, the ASPC, Inc., has established other breeds and divisions under its auspices. It began the Harness Show Pony before the mid-1900s. It allowed for work with the short-lived Americana registry. The organization promoted and supported pony racing in the 1960s and 1970s. ASPC, Inc., established the first American Miniature Horse Registry in 1971. In the 1980s, recognizing member's fondness for the Shetlands of the 1950s, the ASPC established a Shetland division for that interest and shortly after the millennium, added an additional option for even more historically traditional Shetlands.
In addition to the Shetland divisions and the Miniature Horse registry, today ASPC, Inc., also operates two additional registry divisions that both include options for cross-breeding either Shetlands or Miniatures. The first of those, the American Show Pony Registry offers a thrilling, high-stepping show pony while the National Sport Performance Pony Registry is a perfect place for pony-crosses that excel in sporting pursuits.

I love iced tea and have been brewing Darjeeling for months.
I want to try some other teas that taste light and refreshing when iced.
Please share your specific personal favorites.
Cinnamon Kitty wrote:Ditto on the mugicha....that stuff is the most refreshing iced tea that I have tried. I enjoy a lot of cold brewed sencha. I just stick a few scoops of lower grade leaf in a fill-your-own tea bag, tie a knot at the end, place it in a water bottle, filled it up with water, stick it in the fridge, and wait a bit until it is thoroughly chilled. After I pour a glass of it, I just top off the bottle with more water and keep it brewing for a few days until all the flavor goes away. It is a really nice way to use certain teas that just don't work well hot.
Chip wrote:I actually tend to blend a bunch of different Japanese teas/types together when cold brewing. This works very well for me. Low grade gyokuro, sencha, kukicha ... throw it all in there.

You want foundry or glass workers gloves.http://www.envirosafetyproducts.com/high-temperature.htmlSo how much will the unit weigh? Me, I would support the top stone somehow, cut the bottom stone so it will slip in between the supports. Preheat the top stone without the bottom until it gets close then slide the bottom stone onto the grate and allow it to come up to temp then load. Also I thought this was a three burner gas unit. Your last post says to start the coals. I'm confused.Don
JB,Just curious, why don't use my design, the parts I listed, you can get them for less than $150, You can cook 6 pizzas in 40 minute or less . It is a proven design, you don't have to deal with welding, you just need to drill few holes. Even for the vents, instead being a 1x6" you can drill multiple 1 " holes and leave 1/4" space between. The I used ceramic/glass drill bit to drill in the center of the pizza stone, started with a small bit then used larger bit.

Pat O'Brien London—Fanshawe, ON
Mr. Speaker, like most Canadians of goodwill I am appalled by the recent hateful expressions of anti-Muslim and anti-Jewish sentiment by a misguided handful of people here in Canada.
Recently, several mosques and synagogues have been desecrated with hateful symbols and slogans. Sadly the phrase "Jesus Rules" has even been employed.
It is indeed upsetting for true Christians who understand the teachings of Jesus to see his holy name misused as a put down of Canadians who are members of any other faith, be it Islam or Judaism.
Since 9/11 Canadian Arabs, especially Muslims, have found themselves unfairly subjected to questionable treatment even by some Canadian authorities. While I applaud the efforts to fight terrorism, it is important to guard against overreacting to the point that we unjustly and unnecessarily trample on the civil liberties of peace loving Canadians simply because of their race or religion.

Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate a firm from my riding, Espace Drar, which recently won a national award from the Canadian Society of Landscape Architects in the National Citation group for its project entitled "À propos du Blanc".
These awards are given to professionals who have demonstrated excellence in the landscape architecture profession, and the National Citation is given in recognition of certain outstanding features of a submission.
Despite a limited budget, the "À propos du Blanc" project was notable for its innovative, ephemeral, and spontaneous nature which, in an artistic and architectural way, tells the story of the Matapédia.
I should also mention that the project was designed in collaboration with Les Jardins de Métis, a world renowned site.
This award demonstrates that the Lower St. Lawrence region has an architectural wealth that cannot be denied.
I congratulate Espace Drar for its award and for its contribution to the discovery of our region.

Nancy Karetak-Lindell Nunavut, NU
Mr. Speaker, today is a special day for Nunavummiut because it is the fifth anniversary of the birth of Canada's newest and youngest territory. It is a day when Nunavut celebrates the achievement, the culture and the language.
As we are all aware it took many years to negotiate the Nunavut land claims agreement. It took a lot of hard work by determined people to reach this goal. I am very proud of all the people involved.
I am encouraged too by the optimism of the young people. We are still a young territory and going through the learning curve. We need the assistance of the federal government, and the rest of Canada to meet our challenges and fully implement the agreement.
There is so much potential in the north and the people need to benefit fully from these resources. Let us all celebrate this momentous day in our Canadian history.

Elsie Wayne Saint John, NB
Mr. Speaker, in reply to my question last week, the Minister of Veterans Affairs indicated that there were "other groups in society who could benefit from the VIP". In fact, he even said that his department was looking into other groups which might wish to have access to this program.
The VIP was designed to help aging veterans and their wives. Yet at the present time, widows of veterans who died prior to September 1990 have been excluded from the program.
Why would the minister extend VIP benefits to other groups before the grieving widows of fallen veterans? Does he not understand that these widows are struggling to remain in their homes as we speak? How could the government even consider expanding the program to other groups while at the same time denying the benefits to the widows who need them most? Just who exactly are those other groups?
This is one of the great injustices I have seen in my 10 years in Parliament. I demand that the minister fix it before it is too late.

Mr. Speaker, since 1918 the Canadian National Institute for the Blind has been helping visually impaired and deaf blind people throughout this country.
It would like to bring to the attention of the House two major recommendations. First, is the fact that only 5% of reading materials in this country are available in the other format to help visually impaired people. It is asking the government to initiate a fund, and work with libraries throughout the country and the provinces to have more reading materials available for those who are visually impaired.
Second, the CNIB hopes to have the government form a task force to help those people, who are visually impaired, with assisted devices such as canes and magnifying glasses so they too can participate and lead active lives.
The CNIB is a wonderful and great organization. The government should be doing more to help it help the most needy in our society.

Mr. Speaker, the Canadian Society of Landscape Architects has just awarded Pluram Urbatique from Rimouski the National Merit award 2004 for its scenic parkway project called the Promenade de la mer.
This three-kilometre parkway evokes the maritime tradition of Rimouski, particularly with respect to marine sciences and technology. Inaugurated in 2003, the parkway finally gives the people of Rimouski a view of the river and Île Saint-Barnabé that a parapet had obscured.
I am pleased with the well-deserved recognition the designers received for this development, which showcases Rimouski and provides a magnificent lookout over the St. Lawrence estuary. You will find it easily if you go to Rimouski. If you are unable to see it in person, you can see it on the Internet.

Murray Calder Dufferin—Peel—Wellington—Grey, ON
Mr. Speaker, in January 2002 the federal government announced that former Quebec Court of Appeal Judge Fred Kaufman would review the Steven Truscott case.
Based on circumstantial evidence, Truscott was convicted of killing 12 year old Lynn Harper in June 1959 near the Clinton air force base. His death sentence was commuted to life in prison and in 1969 he was paroled.
Many people feel that Steven Truscott was wrongfully accused, citing shoddy police work, flawed pathology and evidence never brought to light. All but 14 years of his life have been spent under the dark cloud of a murder conviction.
Judge Kaufman's report was expected in January and has yet to be released. I would hope that this report will be issued as soon as possible so that real justice to Steven Truscott can be done.

Mr. Speaker, it is an honour to rise in the House and share another Pictou County success story with my colleagues.
Fred Lays of Eureka, Pictou County, Nova Scotia, is making Canadian musical history at the Grand Ol' Opry in Nashville, Tennessee.
Known by his stage name, George Canyon, this young, talented country music singer/songwriter is one of eight finalists performing in the first 2004 national star competition aired on USA Network and CMT.
After weeks of live performances on the national stage, George Canyon is still capturing the musical imaginations of Americans. Not only is he one of eight finalists still holding his own in this popular country music contest, he is the only Canadian to have earned a spot on the show.
I feel fortunate to represent the community of Central Nova where such talented dedicated artists are making a name for themselves and bringing hometown pride and joy every step of the way.
I congratulate Fred, his wife Jennifer, their children Kale and Madison for this massive achievement and our best wishes to Fred as he faces the April 4 competition and continues to sing his way into country music fame.

Marlene Catterall Ottawa West—Nepean, ON
Mr. Speaker, last week when her Royal Highness Princess Juliana of the Netherlands died, and later this week during her funeral, the people of the Netherlands were joined by many Canadians, and in particular the people of Ottawa, in mourning her passing.
During World War II, Princess Juliana and her family lived among us. Her daughter, Princess Margriet, was born here at the Ottawa Civic Hospital, in an area of the hospital that was dedicated as soil of the Dutch people. The Woods family members were displaced from their home so that the royal family could have suitable accommodation in which to live.
We have lived with the memory and with a souvenir of that time ever since. In the fall of 1945, Princess Juliana presented Ottawa with 100,000 tulip bulbs. Every year since, those tulip bulbs have kept arriving and now over one million tulips bloom in Ottawa every spring in memory of her time among us.
We join the people of the Netherlands in mourning her passing.

Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister keeps breaking his promise to end the democratic deficit. In his first press conference as Liberal leader, he said, "I really do believe that open nomination meetings are the best way to go". Apparently that is only if his enemies within the party can be defeated, because today he is in British Columbia appointing candidates, appointing friends as Liberal candidates, abandoning the democratic process, and taking away a democratic vote.
Why is the Prime Minister in British Columbia today adding to the country's democratic deficit?

Atlantic cod
The Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) is a well-known demersal food fish belonging to the family Gadidae. It is also commercially known as cod, codling or haberdine.[2]
In the western Atlantic Ocean, cod has a distribution north of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, and around both coasts of Greenland; in the eastern Atlantic, it is found from the Bay of Biscay north to the Arctic Ocean, including the Baltic Sea, the North Sea, Sea of the Hebrides,[3] areas around Iceland and the Barents Sea.
It can grow to 2 meters in length and weigh up to 96 kilograms (210 lb). It can live for 25 years and sexual maturity is generally attained between ages two and four,[4] but can be as late as eight years in the northeast Arctic.[5] Colouring is brown to green, with spots on the dorsal side, shading to silver ventrally. A lateral line is clearly visible. Its habitat ranges from the shoreline down to the continental shelf.
Several cod stocks collapsed in the 1990s (declined by >95% of maximum historical biomass) and have failed to recover even with the cessation of fishing.[6] This absence of the apex predator has led to a trophic cascade in many areas.[6] Many other cod stocks remain at risk. The "Atlantic cod" is labelled VU (vulnerable) on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.[7]
Northeast Atlantic cod
The northeast Atlantic has the world's largest population of cod. By far, the largest part of this population is the northeast Arctic cod, as it is labelled by the ICES, or the Arcto-Norwegian cod stock, also referred to as skrei, a Norwegian name meaning something like "the wanderer", distinguishing it from coastal cod. The northeast Arctic cod is found in the Barents Sea area. This stock spawns in March and April along the Norwegian coast, about 40% around the Lofoten archipelago. Newly hatched larvae drift northwards with the coastal current while feeding on larval copepods. By summer, the young cod reach the Barents Sea where they stay for the rest of their life, until their spawning migration. As the cod grow, they feed on krill and other small crustaceans and fish. Adult cod primarily feed on fish such as capelin and herring. The northeast Arctic cod also shows cannibalistic behaviour. Estimated stock size was 2.26 million tonnes in 2008.
The North Sea cod stock is primarily fished by European Union member states and Norway. In 1999, the catch was divided among Denmark (31%), Scotland (25%), the rest of the United Kingdom (12%), the Netherlands (10%), Belgium, Germany and Norway (17%). In the 1970s, the annual catch rose to between 200,000 and 300,000 tons. Due to concerns about overfishing, catch quotas were repeatedly reduced in the 1980s and 1990s. In 2003, ICES stated there is a high risk of stock collapse if then current exploitation levels continued, and recommended a moratorium on catching Atlantic cod in the North Sea during 2004. However, agriculture and fisheries ministers from the Council of the European Union endorsed the EU/Norway Agreement and set the total allowable catch (TAC) at 27,300 tons. Seafood sustainability guides, such as the Monterey Bay Aquarium's Seafood Watch, often recommend environmentally conscious customers not purchase Atlantic cod.
The stock of northeast Arctic cod was more than a million tons following World War II, but declined to a historic minimum of 118,000 tons in 1987. The catch reached a historic maximum of 1,343,000 tons in 1956, and bottomed out at 212,000 tons in 1990. Since 2000, the spawning stock has increased quite quickly, helped by low fishing pressure. However, there are worries about a decreased age at first spawning (often an early sign of stock collapse), combined with the level of discards and unreported catches. The total catch in 2003 was 521,949 tons, the major fishers being Norway (191,976 tons) and Russia (182,160 tons).
Northwest Atlantic cod
The northwest Atlantic cod has been regarded as heavily overfished throughout its range, resulting in a crash in the fishery in the United States and Canada during the early 1990s.
Newfoundland's northern cod fishery can be traced back to the 16th century. On average, about 300,000 tonnes of cod were landed annually until the 1960s, when advances in technology enabled factory trawlers to take larger catches. By 1968, landings for the fish peaked at 800,000 tonnes before a gradual decline set in. With the reopening of the limited cod fisheries in 2006, nearly 2,700 tonnes of cod were hauled in. In 2007, offshore cod stocks were estimated at one per cent of what they were in 1977.[8]
Technologies that contributed to the collapse of Atlantic cod include engine-powered vessels and frozen food compartments aboard ships. Engine-powered vessels had larger nets, larger engines, and better navigation. The capacity to catch fish became limitless. In addition, sonar technology gave an edge to catching and detecting fish. Sonar was originally developed during WWII to locate enemy submarines, but was later applied to locating schools of fish. These new technologies, as well as bottom trawlers that destroyed entire ecosystems, contributed to the collapse of Atlantic cod. They were vastly different from old techniques used, such as hand lines and long lines.[9]
The fishery has yet to recover, and may not recover at all because of a possibly stable change in the food chain. Atlantic cod was a top-tier predator, along with haddock, flounder and hake, feeding upon smaller prey, such as herring, capelin, shrimp and snow crab.[6] With the large predatory fish removed, their prey have had population explosions and have become the top predators, affecting the survival rates of cod eggs and fry.
In the winter of 2011-2012, the cod fishery succeeded in convincing NOAA to postpone for one year the planned 82% reduction in catch limits. Instead the limit will be reduced by 22%. The fishery brought in $15.8 million in 2010, coming second behind Georges Bank haddock among the region's 20 regulated bottom-dwelling groundfish. Data released in 2011 indicated that even closing the fishery would not allow populations rebound by 2014 to levels required under federal law. Restrictions on cod effectively limit fishing on other groundfish species with which the cod swim, such as flounder and haddock.[10]
Population tracking
Cod populations or stocks can differ significantly both in appearance and biology. For instance, the cod stocks of the Baltic Sea are adapted to low-salinity water. Organisations such as the Northwest Atlantic Fishery Organization (NAFO) and ICES divide the cod into management units or stocks; however, these units are not always biologically distinguishable stocks. Some major stocks/management units on the Canadian/US shelf (see map of NAFO areas) are the Southern Labrador-Eastern Newfoundland stock (NAFO divisions 2J3KL), the Northern Gulf of St. Lawrence stock (NAFO divisions 3Pn4RS), the Northern Scotian Shelf stock (NAFO divisions 4VsW), which all lie in Canadian waters, and the Georges Bank and Gulf of Maine stocks in United States waters. In the European Atlantic, the numerous separate stocks are on the shelves of Iceland, the coast of Norway, the Barents Sea, the Faroe Islands, off western Scotland, the North Sea, the Irish Sea, the Celtic Sea and in the Baltic Sea.
Adult cod form spawning aggregations from late winter to spring.[11][12]
Females release their eggs in batches,[13] and males compete to fertilize them.[14][15][16]
Pelagic larval phase
Fertilized eggs drift with ocean currents and develop into larvae.
Age of maturation varies between cod stocks, from ages two to four in the west Atlantic,[17] but as late as eight years in the northeast Arctic.[5]
Cod can live for 13 years or more.[18]
|This section requires expansion.
Atlantic cod act as intermediate, paratenic or definitive hosts to a large number of parasite species: 107 taxa listed by Hemmingsen and MacKenzie (2001)[19] and sevev new records by Perdiguero-Alonso et al. (2008).[19] The predominant groups of cod parasites in the northeast Atlantic were trematodes (19 species) and nematodes (13 species), including larval anisakids, which comprised 58.2% of the total number of individuals.[19] Parasites of Atlantic cod include copepods, digeneans, monogeneans, acanthocephalans, cestodes, nematodes, myxozoans and protozoans:[19]

- Dimensions & Care
- Rigorously tested to meet or exceed the highest safety standards.
- Built from pine, pine veneers and MDF, an engineered wood that lends exceptional strength and ensures structural integrity over time.
- The use of veneers results in high-quality furniture with flawless surfaces and consistent color tones.
- Drawer features English dovetail joinery, and waxed wooden glides, which ensure smooth motion. Sturdy half-moon safety stops keep drawers securely in place.
- Our finishes were developed exclusively for Pottery Barn Kids. Craftsmen carefully paint our soft White finish in layers for a smooth, opaque surface. Sun Valley pieces feature a dry-brush technique that mottles the color while it's still wet to reveal the wood's textural grain. All finishes are sealed with a final coat of lacquer for extra durability.
