Transport Canada Wants Drones To Watch Arctic Waters
A civilian department is joining Canada's military in shopping for pilotless aerial drones to keep an eye on everything from errant icebergs to foreign fishers in rapidly opening Arctic waters.
"Transport Canada is considering the use of an (unmanned aerial system) to enhance the safety and security surveillance capability of its National Aerial Surveillance Program to survey ice and oil spills in the Canadian Arctic," confirmed a department spokeswoman in an email.
The department is calling for tenders to supply at least one such aircraft to help look for environmental problems, keep tabs on shifting sea ice and boost Canadian sovereignty over northern waters.
"Since 2009, the (surveillance program) aircraft have been used more frequently for compliance and enforcement of regulations or Canadian sovereignty," says the department's request.

"There is an increased presence of domestic marine activity and foreign vessels in the Arctic, thereby increasing the need for surveillance."
That job is currently done by three manned airplanes: one each on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts and a single, aging Dash 7 turboprop based in Ottawa dedicated to the Arctic.
The Air Force's Aurora surveillance planes also fly in the North.
The three Transport Canada planes have flown patrols for at least 12 different federal agencies — from the Defence Department to the Canadian Wildlife Service. They have been used in whale surveys and flown research flights for offshore oil regulators.
Transport Canada now thinks the job could be done better without pilots.
"Manned aircraft have limited flight time and persistent coverage is often critical during the response to an environmental disaster or a security-related event," it says. "The need for a qualified pilot on board the aircraft can restrict flight times and flying in environments that are difficult or dangerous to get to."
The request asks for at least one drone, complete with sensors, ground control equipment, satellite communications, spare parts and maintenance.
"The need for a qualified pilot on board the aircraft can restrict flight times and flying in environments that are difficult or dangerous to get to."
The drone must be capable of identifying and tracking everything from oil slicks to icebergs and whales to foreign fishing vessels. Its range must be at least 6,500 kilometres and it must be able to track its target for at least six hours.
One drone likely to meet those requirements is the Northrop Grumman Global Hawk, at about $300 million per new aircraft. Global Hawks are already in frequent use by the U.S. military.
The Canadian military wants similar capabilities. Earlier this week, Gen. Jonathan Vance, Canada's top military commander, made a pitch to a Senate committee.
The Air Force has long advocated for an armed drone system and has been shopping for one for a decade.
During Canada's military intervention in Afghanistan, it had to lease drones from an Israeli company. That program has since ended.
The Defence Department doesn't anticipate a contract would be awarded until 2020, with final delivery in 2025.
Transport Canada's tender closes March 23, but it doesn't include a time for when the drones would be in the air.
The Liberals committed to buy surveillance drones in their election platform last fall and put out a quiet call to defence contractors in January for ideas on what could be provided.
Arctic surveillance is also provided through satellites and sensors installed at choke points along the Northwest Passage.Also on HuffPost:

Whitebark pine at risk of extinction
Peter Achuff, scientist emeritus with the Ecological Integrity Branch of Parks Canada, said Thursday (May 13) Alberta and B.C. are home to an estimated 200 million whitebark pine and the current situation is looking bleak.
"For many species to get into trouble the threats can be mitigated. But with this one, we don't know how to control any of these things really.
"That's why we are concerned about climate change over the next 50 years. You put the interacting impacts blister rust, pine beetle, fire exclusion, climate change and it doesn't look good," Achuff said.
While the whitebark pine and its close relative the limber pine were listed as endangered species in Alberta in 2009, according to Cyndi Smith, ecosystem scientist for Waterton Lakes National Parks, the COSEWIC recommendation adds support and credence, and hopefully if the recommendation is accepted by the federal government, more money for restoration and protection efforts currently underway or planned.
"At this point until it is legally listed (in Canada) it doesn't change a lot, but it does raise awareness for everybody and our policy has been, when it has been assessed, we start to treat it almost as if it was listed," she said, adding efforts to protect both the whitebark and limber pine have been ongoing for a decade now.
"So really it is these four things often working in synergy because a tree that is stressed by blister rust is more susceptible to pine beetles and same with drought stress. If we are getting warmer winters and hotter summers, with drier conditions the tree gets stressed and it may be more susceptible to beetles as well," she said.
Even though all four factors have conspired to create a deadly cocktail, Smith pointed out the pine blister rust, introduced to North America from Asia via European seedling stock, has been the primary culprit to date.
Blister rust was introduced about a century ago, but the yellow fungus was not discovered in Alberta until the 1950s.
The fungus generally weakens a tree by attacking the stem and the branches, which can make it susceptible to other factors, such as pine beetle or drought.
In some cases, a tree infected by blister rust will survive, but is rendered infertile.
"Often what you get is a top killed tree. The top of the tree dies and that is the area where cones are produced, so even though the tree might live, it will never produce cones. It is reproductively dead," she said.
Whitebark pine is a slow growing, small-to-medium sized tree that grows in sun-filled clearings from California through to Jasper National Park and the Willmore wilderness.
The pine can be readily outcompeted by faster growing spruce and fir trees if wild fires are not allowed to burn.
As part of her work, Smith led research projects in the mountain parks in 2003-04 and again in 2009 to assess the health of the population.
Researchers found Waterton, and southern Alberta, are in the worst situation in the province with blister rust infection rates of 73 per cent.
In the central Rockies, including the Bow Valley region, Smith said 2003-04 demonstrated that 16 per cent of whitebark pines in the study plots were infected, while in 2009, that number had increased 20 per cent. Of the trees that were still alive, 36 per cent had been infected with blister rust.
In Jasper, the number was much higher. An estimated 60 per cent of whitebark pine trees in the study plots were infected with blister rust.
Even though Smith said the rates in the Banff region are still relatively low, it was the site of one of the first prescribed fires in Banff National Park, ignited near Helen Lake in 1998, used to create clearings for whitebark pine, a species Achuff described as a keystone species as it sits in the middle of a number of different interactions.
Both grizzly and black bears rely on the seeds, or nuts, as a food source, as does the red squirrel and the Clark's nutcracker, which has a unique connection to the whitebark pine.
The Clark's nutcracker, a pigeon-sized bird, with a long, curved beak, gray body and black wings and tail tipped in white, co-evolved with the whitebark pine and is solely responsible for dispersing the nuts.
These raucous members of the crow family cache the pine seeds by planting them in subalpine clearings; seeds that aren't eaten can germinate and grow.
Possibly, if the whitebark pine declines further, it could put the nutcracker at risk, as well, Smith said.
Nutcrackers can and do eat other foods, but the nutritious seed of the whitebark pine is especially important for the birds, given the seeds – like pine nuts thrown into a salad – are high in fat and protein.
The gnarled whitebark pine with its long tightly packed bundles of five needles also provides an environmental service by holding snow in large drifts at treeline, allowing the snow to melt gradually.
"There is some concern from a watershed standpoint, as these species die, there could be changes to they hydrology of the watershed," Smith said.
But as restoration programs are well underway, in conjunction with the recommendation to list the tree as endangered nationally, both Smith and Achuff believe there is hope.
"Again, it is this keystone species thing and it is linked in many important ways to a lot of other species and if it disappears out of the system, it is going to affect a number of species negatively.
"It is a long shot at this point, just because of the number of threats and the interactions but there are some possibilities and we are working on those and we may find some breakthroughs," Achuff said.
Some whitebark pines appear to have a resistance to blister rust and researchers are actively collecting seeds, germinating them and then planting seedlings back into high mountain clearings in the hopes that those seeds will have the same resistance.
"It's a slow growing tree so it is going to be a while before we see much progress on the ground. It really is a work of faith in what we are doing. We work with colleagues in the U.S. who have been doing this longer and learning from them," she said.
The whitebark pine recovery team is also planning a comprehensive whitebark pine survey, while Achuff said a University of British Columbia graduate student is working on a project to see if the tree can be migrated artificially by planting seeds in northern B.C. and the Yukon, north of the tree's current range, but where the climate will be more suitable as planet warms.
"Move it to where the habitat is moving to and see what is involved biologically and logistically. That is a possibility. We may not have it in southern Canada just because the climate isn't here, we'll probably have something else, its habitat may not be here but further north and we may be able to keep it in the system by moving it to where the habitat is favourable."

I have an HP 505B Microtower and recently bought an HP S2031LCD Monitor. After plugging it in the computer declines to accept the new driver - it still had as installed a generic monitor driver. I uninstalled the generic driver and installed the HP's driver but it refuses to accept it. I cant set the monitor to the suggested resolution (it goes to sleep after 15 seconds unless I have it set at 1280 x 1040 which gives a somewhat flattened picture.
Any clues to fix this will be greatly appreciated.

I understand the monitor driver is giving you some trouble.
What exactly happens when you try to install the driver? Do you get any error messages? If so, what are they?
What type of video cable is being used? Is it standard length or is it a long cable? The EDID information of the monitor may not be making it to the PC and long cables or cables without ferrit cores (cylindrical knots at the end of the cable) can cause the generic PnP monitor issue.
Since this is being connected a commercial product, you may want to post in the business support forums as well since there is an installation issue present.

Laws pro-guns = 2
it may not be a large sample but theres without question more support that hes for guns than against, or at worst, like you said, apathetic.
As far as a National Concealed Carry law, that just seems to make sense to me. Forcing states with relaxed laws on guns to be stricter so were all on even ground will be a headache and come off anti-gun even on a pro-gun issue though wouldnt it?

Replacing the glass in single pane wood windows.
My craftsman style 1 story house was built in 1926, with nice stained woodwork and some old wooden windows with counter weights tied to sash cords. The glazing on the windows needs replaced very badly. Most of the windows dont open due to them being painted shut from the outside. Im going to restore the windows because i want to keep the house somewhat original, and i dont have the money to buy 13 brand new windows. The windows are single pane double hung, with grids in the top sash but not in the bottom sash. The thickness of the glass is barely more than 1/16" (maybe 5/64"?) Some of the panes in a few of the windows are cracked, so I was thinking maybe it's time to replace the glass in ALL of the windows. What glass would give me the best sound proofing and insulating factors from the outside Indiana weather? And would it even be worth replacing all the glass or just the cracked panes? Thanks!
I forgot to mention, my current windows are drafty and not good at blocking outside noise. I also don't want glass that's too thick, because then ill need heavy counterweights.
I suggest double strength glass----go to a glass shop and ask about cost and look at the thickness.
Thanks mike! I'm having a glass shop come over and take measurements, and I will ask him when he comes over.
+1 to oh Mike's advice.
Minimum upgrade would be to double strength glass.
After that, see if they have an option for a double pane unit (these will be expensive though).
Do the windows have storms? If not, it would be the time to consider that as well.
I am surprised you would know about the heavier counter weights. So many people do not know that. If you want to do a full restore than remove the glass and all the glaze you can. I use a blow torch, careful with the wood if you are going with a stain. You could use a heat gun as well. Plan on breaking the glass. It is not that hard to cut glass, install it and re glaze. Otherwise, lightly pick out the lose glaze and re glaze, paint the glaze after maybe three months, no sooner, if possible.
The windows have a track on the bottom half of the outside window opening, but there are no storms. The house didn't have storm windows when we moved in a few years ago. That's something I'm definitely going to look into when fall comes around.
I work at PGW delivering autoglass, so I'm able to deal directly with a glass shop that we service locally, and get prices under retail.
Right now I can get 1/8" double strength glass for the panes at $2 a piece, and big bottom sash glass piece for $7 a piece, putting my cost just above $20 a window. I know they buy 4 x 8 sheets for a lot cheaper than that price, but it seemed reasonable to me since they are taking the time to cut around 110 pieces of glass for my project.
Right now I'm using a heat gun to remove the old glazing and a glazing tool to scrape off the old glazing. It's working all right, but it will be better now that I know I can just be rough with it and break the old glass. Before I was being very careful as to not break the old panes because I wasn't 100% sure about replacing the glass. But I also didn't want my current aged glass next to new replaced glass if I just replaced the broken panes.
Thank you all for your responses!
Back glazing?
The panes did not have any back glazing on them when I took them out. Only the glazing on the outside of the window. Should I apply some backglazing to the panes before i put the new glass in? Thanks!
Don't really need it if they are glazed properly on the exterior.

Picture of how my windows look.
Oops, the pic is upside down lol. Sorry about that

Current progress on the top sash on window number 1, with one pane fully glazed.
One thing, maybe save that old glass if it is real cool looking with the bubbles and thicker at the bottom. If it is just old and nasty then never mind. Also, stainless steel razor blades will NOT scratch glass.

This is a discussion on WI State Trooper harasses law-abiding Open-Carrier.

I dont think the cop is a bad guy, just seems like he was uncomfortable around a man with a gun. Would it matter if the guy looked like a angry Muslim and maybe had a woman with him with a burka on. or would it matter if the man had a manson tattoo on his forehead would it matter if the man had a kkk hood on or would it matter if the man had a "die pigs" T shirt on.......none of this matters according to our Constitution, but a cop has to think on the fly and they have them spidey senses too. Maybe there was something that made this cop uneasy or he could just be a communist anti-gun left wing....I Dont know but alot of things to think about ehh??
You may not like guns. You may choose not to own one. That is your right.
You might not believe in God. That is your choice.
However, if someone breaks into your home at 3AM the first two things you are going to do are:
1) Call someone with a gun.
2)Pray they get there in time." - A wise man
I have only seen what has been posted. I now have several concerns over the OCer. I am a law abiding citizen. I have looked at the web address the OCer has attached to his membership to the OC site. He has personal photos tied into a church website/directories. In looking at the photos hidden within the picture directories. Other photos of his car are there, why would a law abiding citizen have a forward mounted camera in the grill of his car, scanners, etc., nothing illegal, each to its own, but he seems to be some type of Wacker...
I wonder if his church knows what he is doing on their computer system. I now have my own concerns, you may your own conclusions, but now I side fully with the LE.
The goal of OCers is to change the Open Carry laws to benefit all law abiding citizen, how is this benefiting the cause for legitimizing Open Carry in WI?

After looking at everything I could find I have come to the conclusion that the guy is a total tool. I also conclude that the video and later cop visit is inconclusive. Could it be that said tool bag is being harrassed? Yes, but I don't see enough in the video to really know what caused this scene to happen. I can't say one way or the other. It could also be that said tool bag is fishing for trouble. I just don't know.
My name is Frogman46 and I'm tougher than you.
This police officer was wrong, abused his authority and should be punished. Does that mean he should be fired? No, I dont think that would solve the problem. He needs to be educated and then maybe he will be able to respect the legal rights of others.
Halfway through the vidoe the cops states that a person told him a man with a gun just walked into the diner. It's after the camera is in the bag.
My name is Frogman46 and I'm tougher than you.
I was not there and for that reason I might be wrong, but IMO the video does not show any harassment; guns were not allowed in that place. I think that the LEO was doing his job.
Concerning the guys site. Some of the stuff there are pretty weird, and even worse considering that his site is part of a churchs web page; then we have the car with all those toys (nice toys by the way), the camcorder running before the LEO addressed the counter woman; I think they are too many coincidences.
"The Second Amendment: America's Original Homeland Security"
I checked all his pictures, and I found a folder called Me. I assume that it contains pics of him; to my surprise, it looks that the guy is a minister! This is totally crazy considering some of the other pics.
"The Second Amendment: America's Original Homeland Security"
I go to Wis regularly and even lived there until age 23 and never saw any one OC except hunting, did it myself. Going back in March to Waukesha Co, bet I don't see OC then either.
So I expect there was an agenda in place when the guy took his gun from the car to go in that place. If not, he probably has to go to a new place everyday because if he went to the same few places everyday, the answer to the Patrol officer would have been yes we allow guns.
I hope Wis gets CC and I hope Wis CC supporters get smart about it. Some of the stuff I read about the issue here on this forum is not, IMO, the best way.
What do I mean, I mean the legislative process will have to be used, not rallies that are fun for some and scare the sheep that are in larger numbers than OCers and vote, too.
I'm not trying to be smart with that question, but it is what it is. This has turned into fact vs. opinion. And an employee does have implied consent over management practice as far as the law is concerned, not that it matters in this debate.
Because we feel strongly about open carry and firearms in general, doesn't mean we can ignore law and common sense. The video clearly shows the officer asking if they allow guns in the restaurant, and it clearly shows an Asian man looking at our OC'er prior to the officer making contact, as if he is pointing the OC'er out. That is plain as day in the video. The employee clearly says No, they do not allow guns in their restaurant.
This is such a clear cut case, I'm not sure why there is 7 pages of discussion on this.
Back in post # 108 I asked this and got no reply, so I'll ask the same of you;
Incidentally, does anyone know what the number one reason LEO's get complained about in the U.S. is?
I know; It's inaction
The trooper would be taking on far more liability for his inaction rather than his actions, no matter if you agree with the action or not. I just thought that was an interesting thought to throw into the conversation.

"Just blame Sixto"
I reserve the right to make fun, point and laugh etc.
the entire problem with the encounter is that the LEO created a conflict where one needed not to exist....

Bingo, it was none of the Officers business unless he was contacted 1st. Unfortunatly there is not enough info here to make that determination.
Sixto is correct when he is saying any employee is an agent of the property owner/leaser/renter in most states.
I do not understand why a lot of you think it is OK for a LEO to bother someone just because they have a lot of antennas on their car, dress funny or are a little odd a wing nut etc. If an individule is not doing any thing unlawfull law enforcement has no business even talking to them. And no I am not saying a LEO cant stop someone with a mask on carrying a shotgun walking into a bank.

The San Francisco Giants agreed to a $62-million, four-year contract with closer Mark Melancon, pending a physical, General Manager Bobby Evans announced Monday.
Because Melancon was traded during the season, the Giants don't have to give up their first pick in June's amateur draft as compensation.
The Giants blew 32 save opportunities last season, the last in a 6-5 loss to the Chicago Cubs in Game 4 of a National League division series that ended San Francisco's season. Chicago scored four runs in the ninth inning.

Miners to Face Tough Test in C-USA Opener
Jan. 7, 2013
After surviving a brutal non-conference schedule, the UTEP basketball team is ready to test its mettle when Conference USA play opens on Wednesday at Tulane.
The Last Meeting
February 11, 2012
Don Haskins Center
Through Jan. 6, the Miners had played the seventh-toughest schedule in the country according to CBSSports.com behind Duke, Miami (Fla.), Colorado, Kansas, UC Santa Barbara and McNeese State.
UTEP's opponent winning percentage (.642) ranked seventh nationally behind Miami (Fla.), Duke, Kansas, Colorado, McNeese State and UC Santa Barbara, according to the website. The combined record of the six teams that beat UTEP was 64-18 through the games of Jan. 6 led by Arizona (14-0), Colorado State (13-2) and UNLV (13-2).
"I haven't seen anyone play a schedule like we have," Floyd said. "It has been a real challenge. You're either going to get better or you're going to get worse, and I think our team has gotten better. I think it's going to serve us well as we get into conference play."
The ultimate goal for the Miners is to win some league road games. They have dropped nine of their last 11, dating back to the end of the 2010-11 season.
A victory on the Green Wave's home floor would be huge. Tulane is 10-0 at Devlin Fieldhouse this season, one of three remaining C-USA teams with perfect marks on their home floor (Southern Miss and UAB are the others).
Complicating UTEP's quest is the fact that the Green Wave is good, perhaps scary good.
Junior forward Josh Davis has eight double-doubles in the last 13 games. He leads Conference USA in scoring (18.1 ppg), rebounding (10.3 rpg) and offensive rebounds (4.0 avg.). Davis is tied for eighth nationally in double-doubles (eight), and ranks first in Conference USA. He is 15th in the NCAA in rebounding.
Tulane is the C-USA leader in scoring defense (56.7 ppg) and rebound margin (+7.3 ppg). The Green Wave ranks 16th nationally in scoring defense, 19th in personal fouls per game (14.5), 31st in rebound margin and 33rd in turnovers per game (11.6).
Floyd said Tulane could finish "as high as top two or three in the conference" this season.
"They've got three guys who have potential to be first team All-Conference," he said. "Ricky Tarrant was on there a year ago. Kendall Timmons, I thought, should have been on there two years ago and he was injured last year. And now Davis is averaging 18 points and 10 boards. They're all on the same team with an additional 1,000-point scorer in Jordan Callahan. This is a team that can score, and they've always bothered us defensively."
UTEP is opening C-USA play on the road for the fourth time. The Miners are 2-1 in the situation with an 80-67 win at SMU on Jan. 11, 2006, a 74-68 win at SMU on Jan. 10, 2009, and a 76-60 loss at Marshall on Jan. 4, 2012. Overall UTEP is 6-1 in C-USA openers and 2-5 in C-USA road openers.
UTEP's all-time Conference USA record is 68-42. The Miners are 23-32 in C-USA road games.
Only Memphis (97) and UAB (74) have posted more C-USA victories than UTEP since the league's realignment for the 2005-06 season. UTEP has registered at least 10 Conference USA wins in three of the last four seasons.

Date of Stay: July, 2005
The expense was not worth the stay. Sites are very small and campground seems overly crowded. Showers and bathhouses were filthy every day. Extra charge for pond use.
Date of Stay: July, 2005
Wonderful campground. Bathroom and showers need air conditioning but were the cleanest I have ever used. Plenty of waterfront sites. Will definitely camp there again.
Date of Stay: June, 2003
Filthiest bathrooms and laundry rooms I have ever attempted to use. Would not stay there again.

Had this E90 335i Touring for some TLC ready for the owners wedding.
In for hub & caliper refurbishment and an enhancement, which soon turned into a correction detail, from start to finish 25 man hours spent, but well worth the effort IMO.
The results of scrimping on the paint,
Firstly the alloys were removed and placed on a protective foam mat,
All arch wells and suspension areas cleaned and de-greased,
Surface rust then removed using a stiff wire brush and 1200 grit,
Whilst drying out, the wheel bolts were given 2 coats of black and 2 coats of laquer,
2 coats of primer,
2 coats of Aluminium base, 2 coats of heat resistent Aluminium to the calipers,
In between stages brought on with the heatgun, both calipers & hubs then given 2 coats of laquer,
Whilst the alloys were of they were given a thorough clean and de-tar and old balancing weight adhesive removed, this was followed by a coat of Nanolex sealant,
New centre badges replaced and looking a whole lot better,
Vehicle then washed, clayed and de-tarred, then put away for the evening.(sorry no pics of these stages)
Day 2.
After testing various combinations, it was clear an aggressive approach would be needed, Fastcut+ and a drop of LP on a Megs cutting pad with 2-3 hits per panel,
Comparisons prior to refining,
Typical dusty finish from the above,
Rinsed down and dried,
Paintwork then refined using Megs 205 on a Megs finishing pad, this was followed by an IPA wipedown and paintwork treated to HD-cleanse,
Alloys, hubs and calipers sealed using Opti-seal,
Tyres dressed with Zaino Z-16,
1st layer of Zym@l Concourse applied to entire vehicle and removed,
9pm and time to call it a night.
Day 3.
Firstly dusted and re-buffed the paintwork before applying the 2nd coat of Concourse,
Arches, engine bay and plastic mesh dressed using AG rubber & vinyl,
Exhaust tailpipes and backboxes polished with Britemax easy cut & final shine,
Plastic trim dressed using Blackfire gel, glass cleaned and polished throughout, wipedown to the paintwork with Zym@l field glaze and finished.
Thanks for looking.

Blue singer Simon Webbe has declared himself bankrupt
Simon Webbe, singer with boy band Blue, has been declared bankrupt.
In court papers filed on 25 September, the 35-year-old announced he had gone bust despite releasing an album with the group earlier this year.
Bandmate Duncan James filed for bankruptcy earlier in September under his real name Duncan Inglis.
A third group member, Antony Costa, has also spoken about his financial problems after the band originally broke up in 2005.
They released their fourth studio album in April.
Speaking to the BBC at the time they said they had previously had very little control over their image and sound.
They said that when their label told them their big comeback would be a greatest hits album, they had other ideas.
They also revealed that they had sent themselves to business school and worked out how to break free from their contract and go it alone.
The group said it had been a gamble and that they had called their latest album Roulette as a result.
Blue, whose line-up is completed by Lee Ryan, are on a UK tour.
In 2011 they represented the UK in the Eurovision Song Contest, coming 11th with their song I Can.
They recently took part in ITV's The Big Reunion which saw groups including Atomic Kitten, 5ive and 911 reform and try to relaunch their music careers.

SHIJIAZHUANG, Feb. 1 (Xinhua) -- The former chairwoman of the Sanlu Group, Tian Wenhua, Sunday lodged an appeal to overturn a life sentence for her role in the melamine milk contamination scandal, her lawyer said.
Liang Zikan said Tian had appealed to the Higher People's Court of Hebei Province because the judgment in the first trial did not clearly distinguish the facts and lacked evidence.
Tian was convicted at the Shijiazhuang Intermediate People's Court of manufacturing and selling fake or substandard products. The life sentence was imposed on Jan. 22. Tian was also fined 24.7 million yuan (3.6 million U.S. dollars).
The ruling in the first trial said Tian authorized the sale of products that contains 10 mg of melamine in every 1 kg of milk at a meeting on August 13, 2008, citing a so-called EU standard. Liang said the standard was not raised by Tian, but rather by a board member designated by New Zealand dairy product giant Fonterra, which had a 43-percent stake in Sanlu Group.
Tian and her lawyers also argued the court lacked evidence to say that Tian agreed to receive the problematic crude milk.
Tian said the management of Sanlu Group decided to recall and cease selling the baby milk powder containing melamine on Aug. 1 when the Hebei Provincial Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau confirmed that samples sent by the company were contaminated.
Even if the milk powder department under the group failed to inform the downstream dealers, Tian should not bear the responsibility, Liang said.
Three other former Sanlu executives received jail terms of 5 to 15 years for their roles in the scandal.
The Sanlu Group, whose bankruptcy petition was accepted by the Shijiazhuang Intermediate People's Court last month, was fined 49.37 million yuan by the Shijiazhuang court.
The melamine scandal was exposed in September 2008. Almost all the major Chinese dairy producers were involved in it, bringing a destructive blow to the dairy industry.
Melamine-contaminated milk killed six children nationwide, and sickened 296,000 infants, according to the Ministry of Health.

Charles D. Fouqueray Biography
FOUQUERAY, D. Charles. (1872-1956)
Like many of the French patriotic artists, Fouqueray was a graduate of the Paris School of Fine Arts. He was a master of the lithographic medium of color reproduction and used his talents to design a fine series of war posters. In this composition, he portrays the great Catholic defender of Belgium, Cardinal Mercier, in the role of the shepherd protecting his flock. Mercier effectively denounced German rationing, deportation of skilled laborers, and the burning of the great Library of Louvain.
Fouqueray had a distinguished career as a mural painter and as a prolific illustrator for magazines and journals such as The Graphic and Illustration.

It says something - doesn't it? - when financially strapped families have a better chance at scoring a deeply discounted TV than a turkey dinner for the holidays.
Big box stores in Southern California and beyond are primed for Black Friday, their shelves stocked with electronics, clothing, toys and anything else one could want to find under the tree on Christmas morning.
Yet our food pantries are struggling to keep their cupboards full due to lagging donations, and some 50 million Americans who depend on food aid will struggle to feed their families this holiday season.
Meanwhile, the National Retail Federation estimates 147 million shoppers will hit the stores Black Friday weekend, which ends Sunday.
There are those, we know, whose best shot at a new TV in this still-sour economy is an hours-long - even days-long - wait outside their local retailer. We wish them well in their hunt for bargains on luxuries they would otherwise go without.
But what if each of those 147 million shoppers could spare an extra $1 to help a family in need - a family maybe not so unlike their own?
According to Feed America, a leading food-aid nonprofit in the U.S., every $1 donated helps provide eight meals for hungry Americans. If every Black Friday shopper donated $1, they would help provide nearly 1.2 billion meals for families in their communities.
We can expect to hear from analysts this weekend who will gauge the health of our nation by the amount of money we spend over the next few days.
Wouldn't it be nice if the health of our nation was measured not by how many folks bought a flat-screen TV but by how many folks have full bellies this weekend?
That would be something for which we could all truly give thanks.

Rethymnon Town Sightseeing
As it happens with Chania and Heraklion, Rethymnon too has a lot of things worth seeing. Here too, one finds this peculiar and very interesting mixture of cultures: Byzantine remains stand side by side with Venetian constructions and Ottoman buildings. The old city stands almost intact; many buildings have been restored to cover modern needs and host actual activities. Rethymnon is a living Museum of Medieval and Modern times, where the visitor can come across and feel the history of some 800 years.
Many important monuments of the city are owed to the Venetians: the Venetian Harbour, with the light house at the end of the water break, a construction of the 16 th century, the impressive Fortetza, the fortress built to protect the city, which, however, never had been transferred there, the Porta Guora, one of the gates of the earlier Venetian fortifications, the Loggia, an impressive square building, where the nobility of the city and the Venetian governors were assembled to discuss administrative and political topics, the Rimonti fountain, the church of Aghios Frangiskos (St. Francis), which used to be the church of the Franciscan monks' Monastery, the Augustinian church dedicated to Holy Virgin, transformed by the Ottomans to the mosque of Neratze, the church of the Lady of Angels, the "Mikri Panaghia" (meaning "little Virgin" in Greek) as the locals call it, and the Venetian vaulted buildings.

Apart from those monuments, the Venetian period of the city is present in the interesting decorated doorframes of various private houses in the old town of Rethymnon and in some villages around.
The Ottoman domination is also present with the Hamam, built in the 17 th century, the mosque of Neratze with its impressive minaret, actually the Odeon, the mosque of Cara Moussa Pasha, the mosque of Veli Pasha, the Ottoman school, today housing one of the elementary schools of the city.
It is also worth seeing the Municipal Park and the Municipal Library, the Seat of the Prefecture of Rethymnon, a neo-classic building, the Cathedral, a basilica dedicated to the Presentation of Virgin Mary and the Old Municipal Hospital.
The city has six Museums: The Archaeological Museum of Rethymnon is lodged in the pentagonal building just in front of the central gate of the Fortetza (eastern gate). The building had been constructed by the Ottomans to protect the entrance of the fort.
The exhibits come from various areas all over the prefecture and represent all the prehistoric and historic periods. The Late Neolithic (3500-2900 b.C.) and Early Minoan (2800-2100 b.C.) pottery, tools and statuettes, among them a violin-shaped marble figurine, have been found mainly in the caves of Melidoni and Gerani; the Middle Minoan (2100-1600 b.C.) finds come from the building complexes of Apodoulou and Monastiraki sites, as well as from the peak sanctuary at Vryssinas; what is most interesting is the great number of seal stones and the clay model of a shrine, preserved only in its upper part. The Late Minoan (1600-1100 b.C.) period is represented by various finds, mainly from the cemeteries of the area, with most important this of Armeni; an impressive serrated helmet and a clay figurine of the well known "goddess with upraised hands", along with weapons, jewels, tools and abundant pottery are some of the most important exhibits. One can also see finds of the Geometric (1000-700 b.C.), Archaic (700-500 b.C.) and Classical (500-300 b.C.) periods, from the sites of Eleutherna, Axos, Stavromenos and Argyroupolis, the most interesting being the funerary steles. Finally, from the Hellenistic and Roman periods it is worth seeing the marble statue of Aphrodite (Venus), a Roman copy of the Greek original, as well as the glass vessels very common during the Roman period.
The Historical and Folk Art Museum is lodged in a restored Venetian building, an excellent sample of the urban dwelling of the period, dated back to the 17 th century, listed by the Ministry of Culture as a historic monument with conservation status; apart from the collections it houses, the building itself is worth seeing. There are exhibited costumes, hand woven textiles, tools for weaving, embroideries and laces, traditional pottery and its tools, and metal work. The whole traditional process of making bread, one of the characteristic activities in Rethymnon, from harvesting the grain to baking the bread, is also presented, along with some traditional professions, as that of the saddler, the coppersmith, the farmer and the cutler. There is also a good collection of historical documents photographs and maps. Educational programs and various editions of the Museum are also available for the visitors.
The Museum of Sea Life: In this Museum the visitor can find a good representation of fauna and flora of the sea, mainly mollusks, fish and sponges. There are also some fossils. The Museum is lodged in an abbey within the old town recently restored, and the collection is one of the most important in Rethymnon.
The Municipal Gallery "L. Kanakakis" is housed in a Venetian building, within the old city, just below the Fortetza. In the gallery there is a permanent exhibition of the work of L. Kanakakis, but also of many other contemporary Greek artists since 1950. Actually, the Gallery, incorporated in the National Cultural Network since 1995, is part of the Center of Contemporary Art, which has influenced and orientated the activities of the Gallery. As a result, the Gallery -and the Center- organize a broad range of activities concerning Modern Art both in Greece and abroad almost all year round. Thus, apart from exhibitions, there are lectures, seminars, editions and educational material.
The Frantzeskakis' Collection: The collection of Eleni Frantzeskaki contains traditional embroidery, needlework, lacework and woven textiles. It is housed in a building just opposite the Municipal Gallery.The Church Museum contains a collection of ecclesiastical items, such as icons, bells, utensils used in the mass. One of the most interesting exhibits is the clock of the bell-tower, which was working from 1894 up to 1986. The Museum is housed in the Office of the Metropolis (Cathedral).
Several cultural activities are organized throughout the year in the city. Many of them have a rather long history and they get better from one year to another.
The Renaissance spirit of the city of Rethymnon has inspired and initiated the Renaissance Festival, taking place every year from July to September, since 1987 and aiming at presenting the Art and Letters of Renaissance both of Crete and of Europe. During this period of time there have been performed a lot of theatrical plays, from the masters of the Cretan theatre of the 17 th century, to Shakespeare, Moliere and Goldoni. Medieval, Renaissance but also modern music concerts, peinting exhibitions, seminars, conferences, and cinema are some other activities taking place during the Festival. It is also interesting that scenes from the "Commedia del Arte" have been presented in the streets of the old town.
Two weeks before the Carnival, in February or in March it is organised the game of the Treasure Hunt. It is a very popular game to which locals take part with enthusiasm. The game lasts one day and it is a hard test of the body and brain abilities, as it has reached such a high level of toughness, that it is almost impossible for any uninitiated person to participate. The game is a very good source of knowledge of the history, the spirit of the various historic periods and monuments of the town; thus, if you are around when it takes place, try to watch one of the groups when in action.
The winners of this game are awarded a package of holidays in Rethymnon, all included.
Carnival is celebrated in Rethymnon with a wide range of original events, which combine tradition with imagination and fun. The Carnival of Rethymnon is the greatest on the island and one of the most important in Greece; the parade of masqueraded groups following the "King of Carnival" date back to the first decade of the 20 th century. Since 1959 the parade is organised every year and year after year new events are added up. The events start some ten days before Shrove Monday, with the open-air party on the Pancake day, which take place at the Platano Square and at the church of Mikri Panaghia; live music, wine and titbits and a big crowd of people having fun, dancing and singing make this event an attraction worth attending.
If you are in Rethymnon in mid-July don't miss the Cretan Wine Festival organised by the Touring Club of Rethymnon in the Municipal Park.
A series of cultural activities in the memory of the "Sacrifice" of Arkadi take place on the 8 th of November.
Access to the city (and all the prefecture) is possible by ferryboat from Piraeus; there is one ship from Piraeus to the port of Rethymnon, all year round. In summer there might be some more. The ships usually sail in the afternoon or in the evening and, depending on their speed, they arrive at Rethymnon after 6 to 10 hours. Access by ship is also possible from Thessaloniki, by bus or plane to Piraeus and then by ferryboat.
Rethymnon does not have an airport; visitors preferring airplane should catch a flight to Chania or Heraklion. From the International airport of Athens, Eleftherios Venizelos, there are usually two flights daily to Chania and to Heraklion; one early in the morning and the other in the afternoon or evening. In summer there may be more. The airport of Chania is at Akrotiri, some 15 kilometers far from the city; from the airport you will arrive to Rethymnon by the Olympic Airways buses, by public bus or even by taxi (50 kilometers approximately). The airport of Heraklion is 5 kilometers at the East of the city; from the airport the passengers are transferred to Rethymnon by the Olympic Airways buses. You may also use the public bus or even a taxi (60 kilometers approximately). Access by plane is also possible from Thessaloniki.

The habit of foodies posting images of their meals on Instagram or Facebook (NASDAQ:FB[2]) has proliferated over the last two years, reports Mediabistro[3] … and now it's generating some blow-back.
People are so involved in the process that many have been seen bringing small tripods to restaurants and using flashes to get better pictures.
In response, some chefs are working to ban the habit. Chef David Chang of Momofuku Ko forbids the act in his restaurant completely, for example. Hosts at the restaurant are instructed to ask offenders to put their phones away.
Not all restaurants find the habit objectionable, however. Some have built virtual menus from the pics posted by diners, while chef David Bouley invites picture-takers into the kitchen to take their shots instead.

St. Louis replaces injured Stamkos on Team Canada
Stephen Whyno, The Canadian Press
Published Thursday, February 6, 2014 5:41AM EST
Last Updated Thursday, February 6, 2014 12:59PM EST
SOCHI, Russia -- When it was confirmed that Steven Stamkos wouldn't play in the Olympics, Hockey Canada officials weren't really surprised.
"Quite clearly, it's a scenario that we were all, inside and outside, prepared for," coaching consultant Ralph Krueger said Thursday. "He's such a prolific scorer that it's not a one-on-one replacement when you make that move now."
In replacing Stamkos with Tampa Bay Lightning teammate Marty St. Louis, Team Canada isn't making a true one-for-one switch. But as Krueger and vice-president of hockey operations Brad Pascall said -- before the St. Louis announcement was made -- this was about finding the right fit in the absence of Stamkos.
"It's really re-mixing the team and the lineup and then looking at the best possible player for that spot," Krueger said. "They're all excellent players, it's just which strengths do we feel that we need the most."
In St. Louis, Canada is getting last year's Art Ross Trophy-winner, a veteran whose play hasn't deteriorated at the age of 38. It was his being left off the initial 25-man roster that drew the most attention and criticism, especially considering executive director Steve Yzerman is St. Louis' general manager in Tampa Bay.
St. Louis went on a 10-game point streak (eight goals, six assists) for the Lightning starting Jan. 7, the day the team was announced. He said that had nothing to do with his increased production, but his play of late might have given him the edge over Claude Giroux and James Neal.
"I don't think it's motivation," St. Louis told reporters in Tampa. "I've been motivated the past four years ... the past 10 years. If you're not motivated, you're not even considered for these things."
Judging from Krueger and Pascall's comments Thursday at Bolshoy Ice Dome a lot of players were at least in consideration. They said Canada's "long list" of players submitted in October were all in the conversation.
Most specifically, those who didn't make the final cut in January figured to be the leading candidates.
"From the day we named our team we told everybody, 'Hey you're still in consideration of the long list of players,"' Pascall said. "So whether they believe that they're still in consideration or not, it's more real now."
St. Louis "knew it was a possibility" once Stamkos was not medically cleared to play. The 23-year-old broke his right tibia Nov. 11 and worked furiously to overcome long odds to make the Olympic team.
When that didn't happen, St. Louis took his place.
"Obviously he's disappointed and I'm disappointed for him," St. Louis said. "Stammer's a true professional and he's done everything he can this past month to get back to the Lightning first and hopefully to Team Canada."
Canada's staff kept a close eye on Stamkos as he rehabbed, thanks in large part to Yzerman's dual role. But that didn't mean everyone expected him to be ruled out Wednesday.
"I think for us to pretend that we knew where he was in his recovery, we really had to wait for the official medical opinion," Pascall said. "It's unfortunate, we feel bad for Steven. I know how much he wanted to be here."
So did St. Louis, who was also left off four years ago in Vancouver. Three years later he led the NHL in points and is almost a point-a-game player this season with 25 goals and 29 assists in 56 games, playing a major part in keeping the Lightning going strong in the absence of Stamkos.
"He deserves it, he's been one of the best players in the league in the last so many years," former Lightning assistant and current Capitals coach Adam Oates told reporters in Arlington, Va. "I'm happy for him and I hope he does a great job."
What role St. Louis will play in Sochi remains to be seen. But it certainly shouldn't be assumed that he'll simply jump in to the lineup where coach Mike Babcock had Stamkos pencilled in.
"Especially (Stamkos) leaving can re-mix the whole situation," Krueger said. "It changes, of course, your specialty teams. I don't think I'll surprise anybody to say that Stamkos would have been on the power play. That also is a big factor here to make sure that our power play setup (is OK). It really bumps a lot of things around."
Stamkos was considered a possibility to play alongside Chris Kunitz and Sidney Crosby. But Krueger didn't want to consider that the "first line."
"When you look at this lineup, we're expecting to create offence on all four lines," he said. "We want to be really strong right through every game we play from beginning to end and I think that you need all four lines clicking."
Having St. Louis and his offensive punch down the lineup could provide that.
But as the coaching and management staffs deliberated on who would replace Stamkos, Krueger said he didn't feel like secondary scoring -- or anything, really -- was lacking from this roster.
"I think we've got it all," he said. "It's just up to us coaches now to put the puzzle together in the right way. I think if you could feel it, it's more like you're putting an automobile together and maybe you feel you need a little better engine or you need some better tires or whatever."
St. Louis has the kind of wheels that could help Canada on the bigger, international-sized ice in Sochi.
"It think my quickness, my speed ... that's what I'm going to rely on," St. Louis said. "It's a different game, but I think whatever game plan we come up with, it's going to be well thought-out."
Stamkos is confident that his teammate can fill any position on Team Canada.
"He's going to go over there and play whatever role possible. I personally think he's going to play a big role," said Stamkos. "The character that he has, the way he's played in big-game situations in the past. I mean, he's won individual awards, he's won the team championships, he's been in those situations.
"It's not like it's a young guy that's never been in these situations before filling in for someone. This is a guy who can step in and play any role asked."

Enterprises of all sizes like the low upfront costs, usability, flexibility, and time-to-value of CRM software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions. Solutions I see enjoying increasing popularity include salesforce.com, Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online, and Oracle's cloud CRM products: Oracle CRM On Demand and RightNow (now called Oracle RightNow CX Cloud Service). The Sage CRM products for the medium-size organization market (Sage SalesLogix and Sage CRM) have been also retooled to include "on-demand" options and SugarCRM is also available in variety of on-demand deployment configurations.
There are many advantages to moving your CRM solution to "the cloud." But follow these best practices to avoid the pitfalls that can trip you up:
Posted by William Band on May 22, 2012
During the last five years, the customer relationship management (CRM) solutions market has experienced considerable growth and turmoil. Quickly evolving technologies like multichannel digital customer engagement, real-time decisioning, social computing, business process management (BPM), and mobility are creating new ways for organizations to deliver differentiated customer experiences. There has been a rapid rise in the popularity of solutions deployed through the cloud, and vendors have acquired direct competitors or snapped up companies in adjacent spaces to broaden their customer management offerings. As a result, business and IT leaders are often confused about which solution to choose.
I have just finished Forrester's Wave™ evaluation of the leading CRM solutions. We evaluated 18 solutions against 411 criteria and will publish our findings in June. While every CRM solution has its strengths and weaknesses, here are the key questions you need to ask to pin down the right solution:
1. Will the solution help us deliver great customer experiences? More organizations are moving beyond empty goals like "becoming customer-obsessed" to define clear and actionable customer experience strategies. Look for solutions that will help you to break down organizational silos and support the full customer journey that traces how buyers interact with your organization.
