International Day of Older Persons
Statements by Members
2:05 p.m.
Raymond Chan Richmond, BC
Mr. Speaker, on October 1, the world celebrated International Day of Older Persons. This day is set aside to celebrate the wisdom and accomplishments of senior citizens around the world.
Shamefully, the Conservative government commemorated this day by announcing $1 billion in cuts to social programs, key programs that directly touch the lives of Canada's seniors, such as affordable housing through the CMHC, the Canadian volunteerism initiative, Status of Women Canada and the literacy skills program.
The seniors in my riding of Richmond are very concerned with these program cuts. Sadly, I was reminded just how the government is not standing up for Canadians.
Abdou Diouf

Sylvie Boucher Beauport—Limoilou, QC
Mr. Speaker, it is with pleasure that I congratulate, on behalf of the Government of Canada, His Excellency Abdou Diouf upon his re-election as Secretary General of the Organisation internationale de la Francophonie. He was re-elected handily last week during the 11th summit of la Francophonie.
Mr. Diouf is the former President of Senegal and has provided expert leadership to the international Francophonie these past few years.
We are convinced that he will continue to do so over the next four years of his mandate.
Once again, congratulations Mr. Diouf.

Peter Stoffer Sackville—Eastern Shore, NS
Mr. Speaker, on August 9, Canada lost one of her greatest public servants.
Mr. Jack Stagg's last posting was deputy minister of Veterans Affairs. Throughout his career he had many accomplishments which made Canada a better place to live: the political accord for the establishment of Nunavut, the settling of the Marshall decision and the creation of the Year of the Veteran, just to name a few.
I had the good fortune to travel on several overseas veterans missions with Jack and his wife, Bonnie, where their love and respect for our veterans and their families created memories I will always cherish.
Jack showed us all what dedication to family, service and duty to country was all about and he displayed tremendous courage with his battle with cancer.
On behalf of my colleagues in the House of Commons, I extend my condolences to Jack's family and to the employees of Veterans Affairs on Jack's recent passing.
I want to thank Bonnie, Amary and Wallis for sharing Jack with all of us.
In the words of the solemn act of remembrance we say, "We will remember Jack Stagg".

Bernard Patry Pierrefonds—Dollard, QC
Mr. Speaker, on June 11 I had the privilege of attending the unveiling of the veterans' wall of remembrance, at the Rideau Memorial Gardens in Dollard-des-Ormeaux, on which are inscribed the names of 1,299 men and women who served our country.
I wish to thank everyone who made this ceremony possible and to express my sincere gratitude to our veterans for the inspiration they provide to our present and future generations.
This wall reminds us of the sacrifices made by our military in order for all of us to live in freedom and dignity. We should always remember that democracy and freedom cannot be taken for granted and that, on the contrary, they require the vigilance and commitment of each and every one of us.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all members of our military who are presently on duty around the world. We are proud of you.
Aboriginal Affairs
Statements by Members
2:10 p.m.
Marc Lemay Abitibi—Témiscamingue, QC
Mr. Speaker, Canada must vote in favour of the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples during the current session of the United Nations general assembly. The declaration offers a promising vision of a new relationship between countries and indigenous peoples, based on collaboration and respect for individual rights.
To date, no universal instrument has protected the rights of indigenous peoples better than this declaration. Indigenous peoples continue to be among the poorest and most marginalized on the planet.
Adopting the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples is consistent with international peacekeeping. These rights do not represent a threat to peace. They are an essential foundation for indigenous peoples.
The Bloc Québécois has always supported the adoption of this declaration in order to recognize the fundamental rights of indigenous peoples. That is why we are asking once again that Canada vote in favour of this declaration.

Gary Merasty Desnethé—Missinippi—Churchill River, SK
Mr. Speaker, Saskatchewan has long been known as the breadbasket of the world, with hard-working farm families contributing greatly to the province's wealth.
However, the farm income crisis has hurt many Saskatchewan farms and the collapse of the WTO talks has led to global uncertainty. A new road map is needed to plan a way forward to help and empower farmers.
I applaud the member for Malpeque for making that road map, a new Liberal plan that puts priority on farm families. He consulted with many farmers and organizations across Canada, including co-hosting a meeting with me in Meadow Lake this summer.
The new Liberal plan calls for: deep reforms to CAIS, not just a rubber stamp name change; a disaster relief plan that responds to major crop loss, avian flu, BSE and high foreign subsidies; a biofuels plan that puts the priority on producers; a strategy to seek and secure new markets and challenge unfair practices; and, most important, consulting with producers to respond to their needs, not simply serving ideology or bureaucracy.
The new Liberal road map for agriculture points to a real commitment and partnership with Saskatchewan's farmers.
Liberal Party of Canada
Statements by Members
2:15 p.m.
Joe Preston Elgin—Middlesex—London, ON
Mr. Speaker, the Liberal culture of entitlement continues, only now it is about frugal Conservative cabinet ministers being admonished by the member for Wascana for not spending at the level of the former Liberal cabinet.
I have seen opposition parties react to policy differences and I have seen oppositions upset over the spending priorities of the government, but a new first has happened. We have an opposition whining about government ministers who are not spending enough.
I would like to tell the member for Wascana again that it is not his money. It comes from the taxpayer and, whenever possible, it goes back to the taxpayer.
A new government is here now and, regardless of what the Liberals want, we cannot and we will not spend like they did. The days of entitlement are over for them and we will not do it.
International Day of Older Persons
Statements by Members
2:15 p.m.
Nicole Demers Laval, QC
Mr. Speaker, the Conseil des aînés in Quebec invited the public to celebrate the International Day of Older Persons on October 1, setting as this year's theme "The generational rainbow...shining for all the world."
This theme underlines the importance of intergenerational ties. Seniors are a priceless resource. They share their knowledge, their life experience and their values with younger people. The colours of the rainbow represent seven important values: trust, love, comfort, listening, knowledge, solidarity and hope.
These values truly characterize seniors. Think of all the volunteer work they do: providing child care, lending support in hospitals, helping with homework and mentoring. These activities are worth $60 billion annually.
We can only hope that the Conservative government will give justice to many of the seniors who helped build Quebec and Canada by finally paying them the $3.2 billion in retroactive guaranteed income supplements.
Government Appointments
Oral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Toronto Centre
Bill Graham Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, we learn of more Conservative appointments. The rights of minorities in Canada are fundamental to our common citizenship, yet the Prime Minister has named Darrel Reid as a key political operator in his administration.
Mr. Reid, one of his Conservative candidates, said that it was about high time that Muslims showed the world that theirs was a religion of peace, rather than a religion based on threat, intimidation and terrorism.
Canadian Muslims totally reject that categorization. Canadian Muslims are people of peace.
Does the Prime Minister choose our Canadian Muslim voices or does he support his recent political appointment? That is a choice he has to make.
Government Appointments
Oral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Calgary Southwest
Stephen Harper Prime Minister
Mr. Speaker, I would have to see the context of the remarks. I think all in this House agree that all religions in the world are full of people of good faith and goodwill who want to see a better world. That is why we are working with the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan to help clear that country of terrorist elements.
Government Appointments
Oral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Toronto Centre
Bill Graham Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, colleagues in the House might be interested to see the context of the remarks when the same person, Darrel Reid, compared members of this House, who voted in favour to protect Canadian citizens who happened to be gay or lesbian against hate crimes, as being similar to Adolf Hitler and his bunch.
Colleagues, look around this House. Are there members in this House who are like colleagues of Adolf Hitler, who are Nazis? This is the type of person the Prime Minister is bringing to his high political office and into his house.
This is an affront to our democracy. It is an affront to the House of Commons of Canada.
Government Appointments
Oral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Calgary Southwest
Stephen Harper Prime Minister
Mr. Speaker, as I have said and this party has said in the past, we defend the equality rights of gay and lesbian Canadians. At the same time, we also defend the right of people of religious faith to practise their religion and to express their religious views.
Government Appointments
Oral Questions
2:20 p.m.
Toronto Centre
Bill Graham Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, it does not stop there, it is not about gays and lesbians; it is about Quebec society. I quote, "The rest of Canada, it appears, could be following Quebec's lead. When it comes to marriage, sexual mores and abortion, that's not reassuring". We on this side of the House are completely reassured by Quebec's opinion.
How can the Prime Minister name Darrel Reid as senior political adviser knowing that he made such comments? Perhaps it is only natural. His Minister of the Environment was quoted this morning as saying that Quebec was not really a concern to her.
Government Appointments
Oral Questions
2:20 p.m.
Calgary Southwest
Stephen Harper Prime Minister
Mr. Speaker, the Minister of the Environment simply said that the policies of this government will be federal and national policies and not provincial policies.
The Leader of the Opposition has just raised moral issues and we know that Quebeckers—like other Canadians—are divided on these issues.
Minister of the Environment
Oral Questions
2:20 p.m.
Lucienne Robillard Westmount—Ville-Marie, QC
Mr. Speaker, appointing Darrel Reid as chief of staff is like the Minister of the Environment hiring a pyromaniac to be fire chief.
For six years Mr. Reid was the president of an organization that ridicules the science behind climate change.
How can the Prime Minister tolerate that the chief advisor to the Minister of the Environment does not recognize the most significant environmental problem of our planet?

Reaction: Merc/Caterham/Marussia/HRT
Reaction to the US Grand Prix from the Mercedes, Caterham, Marussia and HRT teams.
- Related Content
Nico Rosberg: "It was a difficult weekend for us and unfortunately we weren't able to score any points today. However we have learned some important lessons for next year and that's what counts at the moment. I hope we can be more successful next year here in Austin as I have enjoyed our visit. The track, the people and the city are absolutely fantastic. So I look forward to coming back here in 2013 and we will work hard next weekend to finish the season on a positive note."
Michael Schumacher: "I can't find any words other than ironic ones for the race today - there was a lot of action around me but unfortunately in the wrong direction. To say that the race was a real struggle would be an understatement. I couldn't get any grip from my first set of tyres, and there must have been some kind of damage for them to perform so badly. We had to change our strategy to two stops which then compromised our race even further. All in all, it was much worse than expected today, especially considering that things did not look that bad yesterday and Friday."
Vitaly Petrov: "For me that was just about as much as I could get out of the car today so I'm pleased with how it went. The start was pretty crazy, everyone on cold tyres going into turn one with a load of cars going off track, but I got through cleanly and as soon as my tyres came up to temperature I pulled away from the cars behind pretty comfortably. We'd planned to do just one stop and it was timed perfect, the boys got me out quickly when we switched to the hard compound so it all went as we wanted. The tyre degradation was also pretty low - we'd seen from the long runs on Friday that it wouldn't really be a problem, but apart from a small vibration I had from the brakes for the last third of the race, it was a good afternoon without any issues."
Heikki Kovalainen: "That was one of those races where we probably couldn't have got much more out of the car. I've had issues all weekend with getting heat into the front tyres and it was the same again today for the first few laps. At the start I made up one place and then passed Glock pretty quickly and from there it was relatively easy to control my pace for the rest of the race. The stop went fine, the pitcrew did a very good job today, and apart from the tyre issue, it was about as much as we could have hoped for."
Timo Glock: "Overall it was a strong race for us, even though we had been hoping for something more. The first lap was a bit all over the place; I lost the car twice. Vitaly was able to overtake me because of that and at first it was a struggle to stay with him because of the KERS advantage. Then Heikki got past and it was the same story; struggling at first, but then closing back up to him. I stayed with him from there and we decided to pit a little early to see if we could find a way past, but they pitted at the same time unfortunately. Late in the race I was able to get past Heikki in Turn 12 but in Turn 15 he dived in again and retook position, pushing me off the track a bit. Our race pace was very strong and this is just one of a few positives we take away from here, where we have made big steps again and of course we leave holding onto 10th place in the Constructors' Championship. Our big picture remains very positive for us and we look forward to continuing to push hard in Brazil next weekend. Finally I have to say we have had a great week here in Austin and the race team's efforts have matched those back at the factory in enabling us to keep improving at this late stage of the season."
Charles Pic: "It was a tough race today, I have to say. I had some contact into Turn 1 and after that I suffered with understeer throughout the whole race. We know now that the front wing was damaged. It was very difficult to keep the temperature in the tyre in the second stint, with all the blue flags, and we lost some time because of that. It is a little disappointing after the progress we have made here; after yesterday's qualifying performance we were looking good for a strong race. However, towards the end at least, I was able to recover a little bit and found enough pace for our fastest lap time, so this was a positive way to bring the race to a conclusion. We will focus on the final Grand Prix of the season in Brazil now, but we have enjoyed the United States Grand Prix experience and the positive steps we have taken here. Well done to the team."
Pedro de la Rosa: "It has been a positive race overall. The car has performed well and the tyres worked better than we expected after the first day of testing. The start was good and I managed to push with the first set of tyres but I may have gone a bit too far and half way through the race I had front graining. But we changed to the hard compound half way through the race and everything worked well again. Five laps to the end, part of the carbon seat broke and I was afraid that I might have to retire but I managed to adapt to the new driving position and we were able to get to the chequered flag, which was not only important for me but for the whole team. Now it is time to look ahead and get ready for Brazil."
Narain Karthikeyan: "The atmosphere here was amazing and it has been a good race after all. Temperatures were our weak point on the first day but yesterday already improved and today we didn't have any problems during the race. The start was clean and our main target was to finish the race. And we have done it without any problems and keeping a good pace on both sets of tyres. We are now looking forward to the race in Brazil where we hope to do a good job and finish the season on a good note."

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Six Democrats on the new 11-member Cuyahoga County Council chose C. Ellen Connally as council president in a private meeting Friday at member Julian Rogers' home in Cleveland Heights.
The private meeting came as a surprise because the Democrats had agreed Nov. 19 to choose a leader at an open meeting and called off an earlier private meeting to discuss the president and vice president issues after complaints arose about their secrecy.
Dale Miller, who had vied for the president's position along with Connally and Chuck Germana, was picked as vice president.
Seriously, I mean really come on...
Is there something else to this story, anything at all that would make any resident/voter in the county not say JFC WTF shoot these MFers.

The Creators Project: Much of your work centers on the appropriation and distorting of things to the point that they're entirely something else. I was wondering how you feel about this on a larger scale with something like the internet, where everything is just floating out there in an open space without regulation. Do you feel that, overall, it's beneficial to art or does it make it easier for people to claim other people's ideas as their own?
Takeshi Murata: It's great. I see a lot of things online that inspire me greatly. One of the things I've learned as my work has become more public is that knowledge can go in any direction. It could be selling dog food or something, and you have to be open to that and see where it goes. It's a cool thing. But I love sharing techniques and ideas and whatever else I'm doing. The people I talk with are really open and have taught me a lot. The internet is great for technical things.
Does this overarching online community give your work more context?
Yeah. People who don't work with computers aren't sure about people like me. They might think a computer made the whole thing and I just pushed a button. Ultimately, I hope that the work inherently shows that there's a human behind it and that people can have an emotional response from watching it. When people are working and sharing ideas and sharing techniques online, it does give it a context and does allow people who might not be into computers to see the work more clearly—that there's a community behind it. As time goes by it becomes older technology and the same thing happens. I think about stuff from the 80s—at the time it must have looked like it was coming from Mars, but now we understand those things in a different light.
How apparent is the actual use of technology in your work? In other words, do you try to self-reference the uniqueness of whatever program or code you're using to create new images and ideas?
In the best sense it's pushing forward the ideas of what I'm trying to achieve with the animation, so it's not necessarily in the forefront. But I also like it to be present and not keep it hidden. For instance, you could make something on the computer, project it, and then draw it out. Then the technology is helping you animate it but the final piece is hand-drawn and not technically coming from the computer. I like the feeling of the digital textures and weird things the computer can do with color that you can't get with standard drawing tools.
Are there any technologies currently in development that look as if they will completely revolutionize the way you work, or the way artists work in general?
I'm not fully up on all of the technology stuff. It's great to get a new computer and experiment with applications I couldn't use before. I guess you could say that I'm more concerned with technologies that make things faster—being able to put an idea down quicker. And, to me, there's always room for that. A good example for me is two-dimensional animation, which I can do very quickly now because I can just composite things without waiting for them to render. But when you get into hardcore 3D animation the computer still has to work and you have to wait. When those kind of times get shorter, I'll be happy.

I'm sure some of you guys play this. I've been playing for a couple months. It is free.
You make picks, one at a time, and try to string enough wins together to beat the other players. The monthly prize is $50,000, and everything starts over each month. Whenever a picker beats the all-time best streak,(s)he also gets the "Stash", which is another prize. It is like the kitty in a card game that keeps increasing until someone wins it.
Typically, the monthly winner reaches a streak in the 20+ range.
The contests are straight winners of games, or other, 'prop' picks. If you have not played, check it out. I think any visitor here would like it. The odds may not be good of winning $, but it's free, and you are entirely in control of your picks. Any sports fan, esp. one who gambles- even just with the lottery- would like this.
If enough people are interested, I can create a 'group'. Read the FAQ.

With baseball's second half underway today, USA TODAY Sports' Alejandro Zuniga Sacks breaks down the field in the American League:
What has gone well: Thanks in large part to first baseman Chris Davis, the Orioles rank third in baseball in runs scored and first in home runs. "Crush" has hit 37 of those, and his .717 slugging percentage leads the AL.
What has gone wrong: The Orioles rank 13th in the AL in ERA, and recently acquired Scott Feldman will try to settle the back of the rotation, something Freddy Garcia couldn't do.
Playoff pulse: The Orioles are 41/2 games behind the Red Sox; a four-team shootout is in the offing.
NL: What to expect in the second half
What has gone well: Breakout seasons by the likes of Daniel Nava have sparked baseball's best offense, and pitcher John Lackey has returned strongly from elbow surgery.
What has gone wrong: Clay Buchholz's neck strain took away an important member of a surprisingly strong rotation. His return is key.
Playoff pulse: In a brutal AL East, a 21/2-game lead is far from safe. The Red Sox won't blow away their division, but they have the pieces to extend their season.
What has gone well: Not much. Adam Dunn has hit 24 home runs, Alexei Ramirez is enjoying a solid year and starting pitcher Chris Sale has continued to impress.
What has gone wrong: Dunn's 24 home runs can't erase a .213 batting average and 108 strikeouts for the AL's second-worst-scoring club. Even Sale's 2.85 ERA in 17 starts has resulted in a 6-8 record.
Playoff pulse: The AL Central has narrowed into a two-team race, and Chicago isn't invited to the party.
What has gone well: Manager Terry Francona has sparked energy and confidence, and the contributions of recent signees Nick Swisher and Michael Bourn haven't hurt either.
What has gone wrong: Despite showing recent signs of improvement, Swisher posted a sub-.250 batting average in the first half.
Playoff pulse: Overtaking Detroit could be difficult, but Cleveland has hung around all season and is three games out of a wild-card berth.
What has gone well: Miguel Cabrera has found a way to improve after winning the Triple Crown last year, a healthy Victor Martinez is steadily improving and Max Scherzer has been the best pitcher on a staff with Justin Verlander.
What has gone wrong: Verlander seems to have regressed; His 3.50 ERA is his highest since 2008. Detroit's bullpen has been shaky all year, reinforcing worry that not acquiring a viable closer would haunt it.
Playoff pulse: Once again, the Central is the Tigers' to lose, and they should continue to pull away from the Indians, albeit gradually.
What has gone well: The team's only All-Star, catcher Jason Castro, is hitting .269 with 12 home runs, the best offensive numbers of his young career. Second baseman Jose Altuve — recently signed to a long-term contract — is batting .280 and has stolen 21 bases.
What has gone wrong: While external talk of a 120-loss season proved unfounded, Houston has scored the third-fewest runs in baseball, has the majors' worst pitching and has committed the most errors — more than Baltimore and Tampa Bay combined, in fact.
Playoff pulse: Houston will be a seller at the trade deadline as it continues to retool and rebuild. Finishing ahead of the Mariners in the AL West would be a significant accomplishment.
What has gone well: Rookie David Lough posted a .447 slugging percentage with 11 doubles in the first half, and first baseman Eric Hosmer's .285 batting average is a significant improvement from last year's .232.
What has gone wrong: Third baseman Mike Moustakas is having his worst year at the plate, raising questions of his long-term viability.
Playoff pulse: The Royals are improved this year but far from the contender they expected to be in going "all-in" this season by trading prospect Wil Myers.
What has gone well: Second baseman Howie Kendrick (.310, .821 on-base-plus-slugging percentage) is on track for a career season, and Mike Trout is showing his phenomenal rookie season might, in fact, be the norm.
What has gone wrong: The Angels have the majors' fourth-worst ERA, a problem that is magnified by an MLB-worst .980 fielding percentage.
Playoff pulse: An 11-game deficit in the AL West — and chasing a pair of consistent clubs like Oakland and Texas — means another big-money bust season is likely.
What has gone well: Joe Mauer is having another monster year, batting .320 with 30 doubles and eight home runs.
What has gone wrong: The Twins' 4.43 ERA ranks 29th in the majors.
Playoff pulse: Though the Twins surprised for a spell, they lost seven of 10 to stumble into the All-Star break. The second half will be key for manager Ron Gardenhire, who is in the final year of his contract.
What has gone well: Despite a disabled list that included Alex Rodriguez, Derek Jeter, Curtis Granderson, Mark Teixeira and Kevin Youkilis (among many others), the Yankees have remained more than competitive in the AL East.
What has gone wrong: In his first big-league game since the 2012 AL Championship Series, Jeter suffered a thigh strain and could miss more time. The pitching covered for a punchless offense, but it's not dominant enough to sustain that over a full season.
Playoff pulse: Health will play a key role, as Jeter and Rodriguez could be the spark the Yankees need. But Vernon Wells and Joba Chamberlain need to improve in the meantime.
What has gone well: Pitching has been phenomenal, with no starter more impressive than Bartolo Colon. The righty has put up Cy Young-worthy numbers in the first half, boasting a 12-3 record with a 2.70 ERA and two complete games. Closer Grant Balfour has 25 saves.
What has gone wrong: The offense remains inconsistent, and Oakland second basemen rank 11th in the AL with a .646 OPS.
Playoff pulse: Two games ahead of Texas in the AL West, Oakland also has the second-best record in the AL. If pitcher Brett Anderson returns from a stress fracture that many expected to end his season, he could provide the final piece in the race for October.
What has gone well: DH Kendrys Morales is in the midst of another solid year, posting a .280 batting average with 14 home runs and 54 RBI. Felix Hernandez (10-4, 2.53 ERA) is poised to win his second Cy Young Award.
What has gone wrong: Former top pick Dustin Ackley has struggled, batting .205 and earning a demotion to the minor leagues.
Playoff pulse: The Mariners probably won't finish last in the AL West, so there's that.
What has gone well: James Loney has been a pleasant surprise, batting .315 and hitting nine home runs, exceeding his 2012 total. Rookie Wil Myers also has provided a much-needed offensive spark. The 22-year-old right fielder is hitting .288 with 15 RBI in 26 games, and his production will be necessary as the division race heats up.
What has gone wrong: Closer Fernando Rodney wasn't expected to match his 0.60 ERA from 2012, but a precipitous drop to 3.79 wasn't exactly anticipated. Reigning AL Cy Young winner David Price missed six weeks with a triceps strain, and perhaps that injury contributed to his disappointing first half.
Playoff pulse: With a healthy Price — and even without — a playoff berth is very much a possibility. He dominated in three starts after returning from the injury, posting a 1.08 ERA, and the Rays closed the first half on a 14-2 run. Look out.
What has gone well: A year removed from splitting time between the minor and major leagues, reliever Tanner Scheppers has become an indispensable part of the Rangers bullpen. With a 1.84 ERA in 44 innings pitched, the setup man is the perfect transition to closer Joe Nathan. Third baseman Adrian Beltre is predictably enjoying another stellar year at the plate.
What has gone wrong: David Murphy is batting .219, prompting manager Ron Washington to play top prospect Jurickson Profar — a middle infielder — in left field.
Playoff pulse: Texas has had a DL as long as a novel for most of 2013, and it could use a starting pitcher. With many pieces returning later in the year, the Rangers could make a late surge past Oakland.
What has gone well: The Blue Jays have been great offensively, thanks in large part to outfielder Rajai Davis and DH Adam Lind.
What has gone wrong: J.A. Happ was hit with a line drive and suffered a skull fracture that placed him on the DL. R.A. Dickey, Josh Johnson and Mark Buehrle — expected to transform Toronto's rotation into one of baseball's best — have all underperformed.
Playoff pulse: In almost any other division, the Blue Jays could be contenders. Toronto dug deep into its wallet in the offseason, yet it is 111/2 games out of first. The Blue Jays have threatened to cut the deficit, but it might be too late.

Elpida Memory, the only dynamic random access memory (DRAM) maker from Japan, on Thursday announced that it reached an agreement with Germany-based Qimonda AG, which is now in insolvency proceedings, to acquire Qimonda technology licenses and a portion of the design assets related to graphics double data rate (GDDR) memory. Initially Elpida will outsources production to Winbond, but eventually the firm plans to make GDDR5 at its own plant in Japan.
Based on the licenses and assets acquired from Qimonda, Elpida will now join the graphics DRAM business and become a memory solutions company with an expanded range of products and services. Elpida plans to quickly ramp up a full-fledged GDDR business. GDDR technology development will continue at Elpida's recently established Munich design center, where nearly 50 engineers and other former Qimonda employees involved in GDDR development work will take up new posts.
"We will shortly begin commercial production of GDDR5, for which data transfer rate of 8Gb/s may be feasible in the near future. To achieve such high speeds advanced technologies for I/O signal transmission as well as internal high speed circuits are crucial. The important GDDR technologies we have acquired can now contribute not only to Elpida's graphics memory development but also to the improvement of our overall DRAM design technologies," said Takao Adachi, Elpida's chief technology officer.
Shipments of 1Gb GDDR3 and 1Gb GDDR5 products are expected to begin in the first half of calendar year 2010. The production of both products is considered to be outsourced to Winbond Electronics Corp., a Taiwanese company that has experience with Qimonda's process technology. Also, following additional development work by a highly qualified team of engineers working jointly in Germany and Japan, Elpida plans to begin mass production of 2Gb GDDR5 at its Hiroshima plant starting in the second half of calendar 2010.
For Elpida it is rather logical to start making premium GDDR memory since the company already produces high-speed RDRAM as well as XDR DRAM developed by Rambus and has experience in making complex memory that operates at very high frequencies. GDDR memory is used not only on add-in graphics cards, but also inside video game consoles, thus, total available market such memory type is rather high.
Considering the fact that only a two companies – Hynix Semiconductor and Samsung Electronics – are able to produce GDDR in volume, graphics memory business is rather lucrative and prices of such chips does not depend on supply/demand ratio as heavily as the pricing of commodity DRAMs.

The 2010 NAMM Show featured a slew of brand new products designed to make production easier and more mobile. Among them included several portable sound recorders that are perfect for those of you who produce sound effects and foley work.
Sanyo introduced the "world's slimmest and lightest" Xacti sound recorder (their ICR series), measuring a mere 9.4mm thick and weighing in at only 46 grams. That's right, grams. It's somewhere between the size of an iPod and an iPod nano, but it does a whole lot more. It's built in stereo mics (of which there are three sets) record sound in CD quality Linear PCM (that would be 16-bit, 44.1k), as well as several MP3 formats as well, up to 320 kbps. It comes equipped with a 4 GB microSD card, and you can get several cards for infinite hours of sound recording. It is a handy, true-to-life tool that can become a true asset in the field, and it's optional speaker system is pretty sleek. Goes on sale beginning at the end of January, and no price has been announced yet.
Tascam's new product line includes the DR-08 and DR-2d handheld portable digital recorders, which are a step up from the Sanyos. Both record up to 24-bit, 96kHz resolution, for seriously high-quality audio, in both Linear PCM and MP3 formats. The DR-08 is about half the size of the 2d, featuring and adjustable, built in stereo mic pair that can be spread and rotated to get the perfect sound. With USB capablities, the 08 is perfect for transferring recordings for editing or sharing on the web (or selling on Productiontrax). Runs on AAA batteries.
The 2d is the big brother, and has a really cool new feature: it records a simultaneous second take at a lower level so that if your main recording spikes or clips, you have a backup ready to go. The larger size (about the size of an iPod) affords the 2d a larger widescreen interface, a scrubbing wheel, and SD card slot (comes with 2GB). Another handy feature is the wireless remote control, which lets you get your sounds recorded from across the room (like when you don't want to be right next to the lion when it roars…).
Also releasing new portable digital recorders was Sony, who introduced the PCM-M10 Linear PCM Recorder. Similar to the Tascam models, this guy records up to 24-bit, 96kHz, and is ideal for live music, nature, and field recording. Has built in memory of 4GB, expandable with the trusty micro M2 sticks OR microSD cards. It features a 5-second pre-record buffer, WAV and MP3 formats, digital pitch control, and is bundled with a copy of Sound Forge LE for desktop editing. Featuring both a built in mic and speaker, as well as a line in AND mic in, this little machine is extremely versatile. Also available in your choice of red or black, if you really are that vain, and there is a line of add-on products designed to accompany the recorder including a wind screen, tripod, carrying case speaker set, and the supplied remote control (although the remote is NOT wireless like the Tascam model). Weighs 6oz, and runs on AA batteries.

Skip to comments.NFL legend Junior Seau found dead at his California home
Posted on 05/02/2012 12:33:58 PM PDT by pepsi_junkie
click here to read article
Prayers for Junior and his family. It's especially sad when a great competitor turns out not equipped to transfer that drive to cope with real world problems.
So sad
Isn't shooting yourself in the chest with a shotgun almost impossible?
It is sad to hear about Seau as well. I saw him in his prime when he was a Charger. He was a favorite of the locals, as he grew up in San Diego county before going to USC.
so very sad. Families of suicide victims never really get past the pain, and every new suicide we hear of only brings back memories of our own personal & painful event to present day. Not an alumni group anyone wants to belong to, that's for sure. Prayers lifted for his family and for his eternal soul...
If you really want something and practice....
It could happen.
Not if he used his big toe.
Depends on the type of shotgun. One of the pistol grips might be short enough. He coulda used a string too.
I childhood friend used a shotgun and put it in his mouth.
According to Twitter, he left a suicide note.
He wanted his brain to be studied for possible damage due to NFL injuries.
Good ole' MSM... it's a typo. Self inflicted handgun wound.
I just tried it with my old Remington 12GA. Sit in a chair and use your toe. No problem.
and you were able to post after that? what kind of ammo did you use?
Condolences to you, pepsi_junkie, your family and your dad's extended family and friends.
Condolences to Junior Seau's family and friends.
99% this is concussion related...
Ala Dave Duerson. This is a big problem that is not going to go away for the NFL.
Hold muh beer....
"If Seau committed suicide by shooting himself in the chest, it is similar to the way former Chicago Bears great Dave Duerson ended his life. Duerson shot himself in the chest on February 17, 2011 — the method used so that his brain could be examined for symptoms of CTE (chronic traumatic encephalopathy), a trauma-induced disease common to NFL players and others who have received repeated blows to the head."
Not with a defender model with an 18 inch barrel.
Or used a shotgun with a sawed-off barrel.
A short barrel or loooong fingers . . .
Did it hurt a lot?
I just went and 'sized' up my Mossberg defender with an 18 inch barrel.
No problemo.
He was a big guy though, could of probably done it with a full size shotgun.
It can end tomorrow. At least future problems. All the NFL needs to do is give the players back their leather headgear. But that won't do for the NFL. They might lose revenue if the game lost any bone crunching excitement.
Very sad to hear about Junior. He was such an intense player. And a great guy from what I've read of him.
Just making an observation.
apparently you weren't successful.
last time i heard the name junior seau, Rush Limbaugh was reporting that he'd driven his SUV over the side of a hill or something.
ding ding ding.
Rest in Peace, Junior, you were a helluva player..........
I would impose weight limits.....no more than 250 pounds, there was a time when a 300-pound player was unheard of...now they are not only over 300 pounds, but they are fast as well. That's a bad combination.
It would take a VERY deliberate effort. Even with a pistol grip shotgun without a stock, it wouldn't be easy. Maybe the thing had a sawed off barrel...... (OR SOMEONE SHOT HIM)....
A Samoan dude! RIP Junior.
What is the incidence of concussions for rugby players? If it is lower than that of football players, that would be very telling.
Throughout his Chargers career, I recall he was good to the San Diego community and a first class player. I can't imagine the anguish his mother's going through.
If brain injury did cause major shifts in personality, as I've seen happen in stroke patients, I can understand why he'd want "out" before he couldn't recognize and control who he was and do so in a manner his brain could be preserved for study.
My guess is he did it this way to avoid a mangled head or face at his funeral....out of consideration to his family
Rugby is a very different sport. Large portions of what happens in an NFL play, perfectly legal with the rules stuff, is against the rules in rugby. They just don't run at each other as much, there's not as much emphasis on bringing people to the ground. Football is a collision sport, rugby gets some collisions but that's really the point of football.
You missed.
See Dave Duerson, he wanted to be able to have them examine his brain so they can determine the level of damage from playing in the NFL, I suspect that was also Seau's motivation.
Just making an observation.
There seems to be a lot of better ways to go if you have some imagination. Ok, I am going to abandon thread before I start writing some really stupid stuff. I did like Junior Seau and this is sad news.
I just watched his mother speak during a press conference. I wept watching the pain this poor Mom exhibited. So sad.
Thanks very much for your kind words. He never suffered and he's at peace now and we're grateful for the extra time we got. Thanks again.
Seau's personal problems became very public in October 2010 after he drove his SUV off a cliff hours after an arrest on a domestic violence charge.
Tragic, just tragic.
I've heard suicides following a broken relationship have a higher rate of chest/heart shots.

Vampire squid
|This article needs additional citations for verification. Please help improve this article by adding reliable references. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. (July 2009)
The vampire squid (Vampyroteuthis infernalis, lit. "vampire squid from 'Hell'") is a small, deep-sea cephalopod found throughout the temperate and tropical oceans of the world. Unique retractile sensory filaments justify the Vampire Squid's placement in its own order: Vampyromorphida (formerly Vampyromorpha), which shares similarities with both squid and octopuses. As a phylogenetic relict it is the only known surviving member of its order, first described and originally classified as an octopus in 1903 by German teuthologist Carl Chun, but later assigned to a new order together with several extinct taxa.
Physical description
The Vampire Squid reaches a maximum total length of around 30 cm (1 ft). Its 15 cm (6 inch) gelatinous body varies in color between velvety jet-black and pale reddish, depending on location and lighting conditions. A webbing of skin connects its eight arms, each lined with rows of fleshy spines or cirri; the inside of this "cloak" is black. Only the distal half (farthest from the body) of the arms have suckers. Its limpid, globular eyes, which appear red or blue, depending on lighting, are proportionately the largest in the animal kingdom at 2.5 cm (1 inch) in diameter.[citation needed] The animal's dark color, cloak-like webbing, and red eyes are what gave the Vampire Squid its name.[1]
Mature adults have a pair of ear-like fins projecting from the lateral sides of the mantle. These fins serve as the adult's primary means of propulsion: vampire squid "fly" through the water by flapping their fins. Their beak-like jaws are white. Within the webbing are two pouches wherein the tactile velar filaments are concealed. The filaments are analogous to a true squid's tentacles, extending well past the arms; however, they are a different arm pair than the squid's tentacles. Instead, the filaments are the same pair that were lost by the ancestral octopuses.
The Vampire Squid is almost entirely covered in light-producing organs called photophores. The animal has great control over the organs, capable of producing disorienting flashes of light for fractions of a second to several minutes in duration. The intensity and size of the photophores can also be modulated. Appearing as small white discs, the photophores are larger and more complex at the tips of the arms and at the base of the two fins, but are absent from the underside of the caped arms. Two larger white areas on top of the head were initially believed to also be photophores, but have turned out to be photoreceptors.
The chromatophores (pigment organs) common to most cephalopods are poorly developed in the Vampire Squid. While this means the animal is not capable of changing its skin colour in the dramatic fashion of shallow-dwelling cephalopods, such trickery is not needed at the lightless depths where it lives.
Habitat and adaptations
The Vampire Squid is an extreme example of a deep-sea cephalopod, thought to reside at aphotic (lightless) depths from 600–900 metres (2,000-3,000 feet) or more. Within this region of the world's oceans is a discrete habitat known as the oxygen minimum zone (OMZ). Within the OMZ oxygen saturation is too low to support aerobic metabolism in most higher organisms. Nonetheless, the Vampire Squid is able to live and breathe normally in the OMZ at oxygen saturations as low as 3%; a feat no other cephalopod, and few other animals, can claim.
To cope with life in the suffocating depths, vampire squid have developed several radical adaptations. Of all deep-sea cephalopods, their mass-specific metabolic rate is the lowest. Their blue blood's hemocyanin binds and transports oxygen more efficiently than in other cephalopods,[2] aided by gills with especially large surface area. The animals have weak musculature but maintain agility and buoyancy with little effort thanks to sophisticated statocysts (balancing organs akin to a human's inner ear)[3] and ammonium-rich gelatinous tissues closely matching the density of the surrounding seawater.
At the shallower end of the Vampire Squid's vertical range, the view from below is like the sky at twilight: The highly sensitive eyes of deepwater denizens are able to distinguish the silhouettes of other animals moving overhead. To combat this, the vampire squid generates its own bluish light (bioluminescence) in a strategy called counterillumination: The light diffuses the animal's silhouette, effectively "cloaking" its presence from the watchful eyes below. Its own large eyes detect even the faintest of gleams. A pair of photoreceptors are located on top of its head, perhaps alerting the animal to movements above.
Like many deep-sea cephalopods, Vampire Squid lack ink sacs. If threatened, instead of ink, a sticky cloud of bioluminescent mucus containing innumerable orbs of blue light is ejected from the arm tips. This luminous barrage, which may last nearly 10 minutes, is presumably meant to daze would-be predators and allow the Vampire Squid to disappear into the blackness without the need to swim far. The display is made only if the animal is very agitated; regenerating the mucus is costly from a metabolic point of view.
Few specifics are known regarding the ontogeny of the Vampire Squid. Their development progresses through three morphologic forms: the very young animals have a single pair of fins, an intermediate form has two pairs, and the mature form again has one. At their earliest and intermediate phases of development, there is a pair of fins located near the eyes; as the animal develops, this pair gradually disappears as the other pair develops.[4] As the animals grow and their surface area to volume ratio drops, the fins are resized and repositioned to maximize gait efficiency. Whereas the young propel themselves primarily by jet propulsion, mature adults find flapping their fins to be the most efficient means (Seibel et al. 1998). This unique ontogeny caused confusion in the past, with the varying forms identified as several species in distinct families (Young 2002).
If hypotheses may be drawn from knowledge of other deep-sea cephalopods, the Vampire Squid likely reproduces slowly by way of a small number of large eggs. Growth is slow as nutrients are not abundant at depths frequented by the animals. The vastness of their habitat and its sparse population make procreative encounters a fortuitous event. The female may store a male's hydraulically implanted spermatophore (a tapered, cylindrical satchel of sperm) for long periods before she is ready to fertilize her eggs. Once she does, she may need to brood over them for up to 400 days before they hatch. The female will not eat towards this culmination and dies shortly thereafter.
Hatchlings are c. 8 mm in length and are well-developed miniatures of the adults, with some differences. Their arms lack webbing, their eyes are smaller and their velar filaments are not fully formed. The hatchlings are transparent and survive on a generous internal yolk for an unknown period before they begin to actively feed. The smaller animals frequent much deeper waters, perhaps feeding on marine snow (falling organic detritus).
What behavioural data known has been gleaned from ephemeral encounters with ROVs; animals are often damaged during capture and survive for no more than about two months in aquaria. An artificial environment makes reliable observation of non-defensive behaviour difficult.
With their long velar filaments deployed, Vampire Squid have been observed drifting along in the deep, black ocean currents. If the filaments contact an entity, or if vibrations impinge upon them, the animals investigate with rapid acrobatic movements. They are capable of swimming at speeds equivalent to two body lengths per second, with an acceleration time of five seconds. However, their weak muscles limit stamina considerably.
Unlike their relatives living in more hospitable climes, deep-sea cephalopods cannot afford to expend energy in protracted flight. Given their low metabolic rate and the low density of prey at such depths, Vampire Squid must use innovative predator avoidance tactics to conserve energy. Their aforementioned bioluminescent "fireworks" are combined with the writhing of glowing arms, erratic movements and escape trajectories, making it difficult for a predator to home in.
In a threat response called "pumpkin" or "pineapple posture", the Vampire Squid inverts its caped arms back over the body, presenting an ostensibly larger form covered in fearsome-looking though harmless spines (called cirri).[5] The underside of the cape is heavily pigmented, masking most of the body's photophores. The glowing arm tips are clustered together far above the animal's head, diverting attack away from critical areas. If a predator were to bite off an arm tip, the Vampire Squid can regenerate it.
Copepods, prawns and cnidarians have all been reported as prey of Vampire Squid. Little else is known regarding their feeding habits, but considering their environment, they are likely to be opportunists. Vampire Squid have been found among the stomach contents of large deepwater fish, deep diving whales, and pinnipeds such as sea lions.
The Vampyromorphida are characterized by such apomorphies as the possession of photophores, a peculiar type of uncalcified endoskeleton called "gladius", 8 webbed arms and the 2 velar filaments. Until fairly recently known only from the modern species and some fossil remains tentatively allocated to this group, a batch of Middle Jurassic (Lower Callovian, c.165-164 mya) specimens found at La Voulte-sur-Rhône demonstrated that clearly vampyromorphid cephalopods were in existence for far longer than has been hitherto believed.
These were described as Vampyronassa rhodanica. The supposed vampyromorphids from the Kimmeridgian-Tithonian (156-146 mya) of Solnhofen, Plesioteuthis prisca, Leptoteuthis gigas, and Trachyteuthis hastiformis, cannot be positively assigned to this group; they are large species (from 35 cm in P. prisca to > 1 meter in L. gigas) and show features not found in vampyromorphids, being somewhat similar to the true squids, Teuthida.[6]

Cold front moving in; bitter wind expected
By LISA M. REED
Staff Writer
IRON MOUNTAIN – Colder air from Canada is moving into the Upper Peninsula and northeastern Wisconsin in the next week and will bring below zero temperatures and wind chills.
With the lack of snow on the ground, weather officials remind everyone to take the necessary precautions and make sure heaters are functioning properly and pipes do not freeze.
Todd Kluber, meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Marquette, said colder air is coming to Dickinson and Iron counties in the next week.
"A front passed Wednesday, which brought a dusting of snow to the area," he said.
A high of 10 degrees is expected today and Friday.
But Friday night's low will be six degrees below zero.
Kluber said the wind chills will be 20 degrees below zero Friday night.
He added winds will be around 10 mph, but "it doesn't take a lot of wind to bring below zero windchills."
Temperatures on Friday and Saturday will be in the mid 20s.
"The next round of cold air will be on Saturday and Saturday night. We're looking at lows of five degrees above zero and a high around 10 degrees on Sunday with a low of five degrees below zero on Sunday night," Kluber said.
Then wind chills could drop, and the coldest air could be on Monday night with 25 degrees below zero predicted.
Monday's high temperature will be seven degrees above zero.
Tuesday's high temperature will be five degrees above zero, and Wednesday's high temperature will be 12 degrees above zero.
Kluber said a low pressure system sitting in Ontario and Hudson Bay, Canada is causing counterclockwise winds to pull cold air to the north.
Those who venture out in the cold temperatures are advised to dress warm.
Warm temperatures last week melted snow exposing the ground.
Kluber said with the lack of snow cover, it will be cold and water pipes could break.
"Keep pipes dripping by running water," he said.
Although below zero temperatures with wind chills is normal for January in the U.P., this year has been a warmer than normal winter.
At this time last year, Kluber said temperatures were 12 degrees below zero.
"Outside of that, the last couple winters and so far this year, there has not been extreme cold weather," he said.
With the cold temperatures, there will be no significant snow accumulation.
Weather officials said light snow could accumulate about an inch of snow by the end of the weekend.

If the Sox keep losing games, do you think Ken Williams will add a big player like he did last year with Peavy and Rios, or do you think hell be selling?
I think he'll sell, although they'll spin it by saying they're getting better for the future. Which means he'll be looking to acquire major league-ready talent.

King Salsa was founded by master Percussionist/Drummer Robin Jones in England in 1986. In its 20 or so years the band has had a colourful and varied career and has become something of an international institution in Latin (mainly Cuban) music, dance and folklore. King Salsa has been featured at most of the world's best jazz and Latin venues and festivals including sell-outs at the legendary Ronnie Scott's club in London, the Brecon Jazz Festival, Marlborough Jazz Festival, Malta, Pori and alongside Irakere at London's Cabot Hall.
The personnel have always been drawn from the top current group of crack young players internationally, and have also backed many of the world's greats in Latin and Latin Jazz. Many great players and singers have graced the band's ranks, many of whom have become Band Leaders in their own right, and who often make return appearances. These include master percussionist Bosco De Oliveira (now resident in Brazil but still comes to play with the band on occasion), trumpet virtuosos Steve Waterman, Mark Armstrong and Graeme Flowers, trombone legends Dennis Rollins and Paul Shepherd, the inimitable violin of Omar Puente and multi-instrumental star Gerry Hunt.
The current line-up features a range of ferocious new talents; The trumpet section features the world class lead trumpets of Jean Paul Gervasoni, Alex Maynard and the section and jazz solos of Gavin Broom. The piano is under the capable digits of the amazing Chris Kibble. The bass chair features Jonny Gee, an ever-present figure on the UK jazz and Latin scenes. The timbales are in the hands of Marc Cecil who is becoming one of the most sought after Drummers/Percussionists on the scene. Virtuoso tenor, baritone sax and flute man is Jamie Harris and new trombone star and Musical Director is Tim Smart. Alongside Robin, the percussion section is spearheaded by master percussionist/vocalist Carlos Fuentes (from Chile). Add to this the charismatic lead vocals and percussion of Enrique Bringas (from Cuba) and Juan Pablo Lopez (from Colombia), and you have it. Robin himself has had a vastly experienced career, playing with most of the world's greats of Latin, jazz and pop including Stan Getz, Phil Woods and Latin Jazz piano great Charlie Palmeiri. More recently he has been seen with trumpet greats Eddie Henderson and Arturo Sandoval.
The band has recently released a breathtaking new album, entitled 'Sabroso Mambo'. Available through Weave Records, all good record stores, iTunes and CD Baby, it is one of the most exciting Latin albums produced in recent years.
The band also has two previous CDs 'Aché' and 'Chango'.

Society is entitled now, we owe them everything, for nothing, and you can stereotype an entire party and their voters this way, because it was the platform for which the voted and agreed.
I believe states should decide on a lot of these issues and I believe I reside in a state that aligns with my moral convictions, but that is not the case, this things are determined on the federal level, therefore I will side with the nominee that shares the same moral views and views concerning Israel and the nation financially....
the electoral college cuts both ways....if it was strictly a popular vote , then all a Pres nominee would need to do is win in Calif and NY and maybe TX or Florida and the rest of the country would be insignificant....I dont like that scenario at all...I want more states to matter in a Presidential election not less...it was bad enough that this election came down to the swing states and many states were ignored
Two sources confirmed that if you have your own health care policy that you purchase, all rules and regs from obama care will apply to that policy also, dang I sure hope this is false.

ATI, graphics products group of Advanced Micro Devices, said late on Monday that the company has lowered recommended pricing of ATI Radeon HD 4800-series graphics cards. As a result of the price-drop, it is now possible to acquire ATI Radeon HD 4870 512MB graphics card for just half of the price that the graphics card cost just about eight months ago.
From now on, official price of the ATI Radeon HD 4850 512MB will be $129, ATI Radeon HD 4870 512MB will cost $149 and ATI Radeon HD 4870 1GB will be available for $199. New recommended pricing was not announced for ATI Radeon HD 4830, 4870 X2 as well as proprietary graphics cards now available widely, such as ATI Radeon HD 4850 1GB or ATI Radeon HD 4850 X2.
At press-time only large U.S.-based online stores, such as Newegg.com, were able to offer the aforementioned graphics cards at the new price levels. It will take several weeks before the new prices will be effective worldwide.
The world's second largest supplier of discrete graphics processing units (GPUs) cuts pricing of its products ahead of the release of GeForce GTS 250 graphics card by Nvidia Corp. into the $129 - $149 price-range. The novelty by Nvidia is not exactly a new solution and is a re-branded GeForce 9800 GTX+, but at low price points it might capture some part of the market from AMD's graphics business unit.
While all price-cuts are very good for the consumer, ATI must ensure that production costs of the graphics cards are low enough so that to receive profit even in cases it needs to make dramatic price slashes.
AMD is projected to release a new higher-performance graphics card rumoured to be named ATI Radeon HD 4890 (RV790) early in April. The novelty is not expected to bring spectacular performance improvements, but is likely to allow ATI to compete even more successfully in performance market segment.
