Ice Palace construction pushed back to next week
A man who will be missed
William F. Madden Jr., president and owner of Madden's Transfer and Storage, the family business, passed away on Friday. He was a great community leader with a long list of involvements in Saranac Lake, which he loved so much.
As a town father, you might have seen him cruising around in his Cadillac and even pulling over to the side of the road to chat. While big and confident, with a stature that was almost intimidating, he was warm and friendly when talking to him face to face. One might describe him as an old shoe. Comfortably shuffling around town, he was always interested in what opinions others had on issues.
Being in the moving business, he was a great barometer of the local economy. He could tell you if the population was shrinking or growing, or if a new business was interested in moving into the area. There wasn't a person he didn't know, or if one did sneak under his radar, he would make sure he met them.
Bill had a deep, gruff, authoritative voice that would make all in the room take notice when he spoke in front of a crowd. It is no wonder he was asked to be involved in so many leadership roles. Besides being on the Saranac Lake Area Chamber of Commerce, he was involved with the Saranac Lake Rotary Club, Lions Club, Elks Club, Knights of Columbus, board of directors of the Saranac Lake General Hospital (now Adirondack Medical Center), advisory board of North Country Community College, board of Farmers National Bank and other things.
But Bill was mostly known for being heavily involved in organizations like Mount Pisgah and the Winter Carnival. He used his heavy equipment to help build the Ice Palace, and there were untold hours of work behind the scenes at every organization he was involved in. When he was named Citizen of the Year by the Saranac Lake Chamber of Commerce, Phil Feinberg, then chamber president, touted him as "a man who I never heard say, 'It can't be done.'"
Bill Madden loved his community and was made from a different cloth that is difficult to find today. Luckily, he left behind his children and grandchildren, who are also hard-working and dedicated to carrying on his legacy of helping make this a better place.

Duck Soup released
While today the Marx Brothers' Duck Soup is considered a highpoint of classic Hollywood, on its release in 1933, it was a commercial flop that pushed Paramount to terminate its contract with the fraternal funnymen. In 1929, based on the success of the Marx Brothers' Broadway comedies, Paramount signed them to a multiple picture deal. And for the next four years, the siblings' zany antics hung together by some slender plot conceits proved box office gold. In each, the boys meet around some central place: In The Cocoanuts (1929), they take over a Florida hotel; in Animal Crackers (1930), a Long Island estate; in Monkey Business (1931), an ocean liner; in Horse Feathers (1932), a small college. But in Duck Soup ––which went through many titles: Firecrackers, then Cracked Ice, then Grasshoppers––the brothers take over the government of Freedonia, a fictitious small country on the verge of war. Critics, for the most part, got the joke. The New York Daily News punned, "If you like duck soup try the hot and spicy dish which the Rivoli introduced to Broadway yesterday…Four different kinds of nuts give it its special peculiar flavor…it is the funniest of the Marx Brothers' productions." But theater audiences did not find the film funny; indeed some were offended. While few Americans picked up on the film's political allusions, Italian dictator Benito Mussolini did and had the film banned in Italy. (Of course, Groucho later commented on the film's political import by saying, "What significance? We were just four Jews trying to get a laugh.") Elsewhere, the city of Fredonia, New York complained that the mythic land of Freedonia was too close for comfort. Groucho Marx snapped back, "Change the name of your town, it's hurting our picture." In the end, of course, Groucho got the last laugh, as Duck Soup was entered on the AFI list of the 100 greatest films.

Disaster aid should have reasonable limits
No one ought to go through the devastation suffered by hundreds of thousands of people in the Gulf states when Hurricane Katrina hit there in August 2005. Most Americans were happy to see their tax money go to help those who lost belongings, homes and businesses in the storm.
But there ought to be a limit, and – call us cynical if you like – it probably should be something less than eight years.
About $872 million in federal funding meant to help residents of Mississippi recover from Katrina has yet to be spent, the Associated Press reported. About one-fourth of the funding is earmarked not for recovery but for economic development. Some of it is to be spent many miles away from the hurricane destruction zone.
One $8 million project is a new parking garage near the Mississippi State University football stadium – more than 200 miles from the Gulf Coast.
Mississippi officials maintain economic development will create jobs for some Katrina victims. They and officials in other states hit by disasters add that it sometimes takes time to plan and implement such projects.
But eight years? One-fourth of the money to economic development? Some of it to make life easier for university football fans far from the disaster zone?
Come on. Clearly, federal officials and members of Congress need to take another look at how disaster relief money is handed out.
We have received our share of disaster aid here in the North Country – for example, after the 1998 ice storm and 2011's Tropical Storm Irene – and we acknowledge that some of it was spent to not just replace what was lost but to, in Gov. Andrew Cuomo's words, "build back better." There's nothing wrong with that. When Keene lost its firehouse to Irene, it properly built one that's up to modern standards, meets the fire department's present and anticipated future needs, and is strong and spacious enough to serve as the community's "last building standing" in case of a future disaster. Federal and state aid paid for that, which is appropriate.
But if, by 2019, Irene aid was still kicking around and being used to expand Syracuse University's football stadium, that would be a problem.

Fraser River Sockeye
Routine Proceedings
12:10 p.m.
Jim Maloway Elmwood—Transcona, MB
Mr. Speaker, I present the largest petition I have seen in the House in a year.
The petitioners call for an independent judicial inquiry on the salmon crisis. Nine million sockeye salmon have disappeared during the summer's migration to the Fraser River, the lowest return in 50 years. This is a crisis similar in magnitude to the collapse of the Atlantic cod stocks, which devastated the east coast. It is dramatically affecting the way of life and the livelihood of west coast communities, first nations, recreational fishing, commercial fisheries and businesses.
It was determined that a factor in the Atlantic cod collapse was government suppression of scientific facts. The resulting closure of public fisheries and the loss of millions of dollars and hundreds of jobs in the commercial fishing industry is negatively impacting the B.C. economy with hardships and layoffs for many people directly and indirectly associated with wild salmon fishing and wilderness tourism.
It is unclear whether the Department of Fisheries and Oceans has fulfilled its obligations to effectively and responsibly manage this important resource and it is uncertain as to what meaningful action the department will undertake to ensure the long-term viability of all the salmon on the west coast.
The petitioners call upon the government to establish an independent judicial inquiry under the federal Inquiries Act that would fully explore the real facts and consult with scientists and stakeholders to determine what went wrong with this year's sockeye run.
Firearms Registry
Routine Proceedings
12:10 p.m.
Mark Warawa Langley, BC
Mr. Speaker, I have the honour to present three petitions from constituents. The first one is in regard to the long gun registry.
The petitioners point out that the long gun registry was originally budgeted to cost Canadians $2 million, but the price tag spiralled out of control to an estimated $2 billion a decade later. They point out that the registry has not saved one life since it was introduced.
They call upon the House of Commons to support legislation that would cancel the long gun registry and streamline the Firearms Act.
Employment Insurance
Routine Proceedings
12:10 p.m.
Mark Warawa Langley, BC
Mr. Speaker, the second petition is in regard to medical benefits.
The petitioners point out that when a parent and caregiver of a child who has a life-threatening or serious illness like cancer must take care of the child full-time when the child falls ill and undergoes treatment like surgery, that parent or caregiver does not qualify for long-term medical EI insurance.
They call upon the House of Commons to enact specific legislation to improve additional medical EI benefits at least equal to maternity EI benefits.
Protection of Human Life
Routine Proceedings
12:10 p.m.
Mark Warawa Langley, BC
Mr. Speaker, the last petition from my constituents is in regard to life.
The residents of Canada draw attention to the fact that Canada is a country which respects life and includes in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms that everyone has the right to life.
The petitioners call upon Parliament to pass legislation for the protection of human life from the time of conception until natural death.
Fraser River Sockeye
Routine Proceedings
12:10 p.m.
Claude Gravelle Nickel Belt, ON
Mr. Speaker, I have a petition that is 30 pages long and is signed by hundreds of Canadians from coast to coast.
The petitioners urgently call on the government to establish an independent judicial inquiry under the federal Inquiries Act that would fully explore all the facts, consult with scientists and stakeholders, determine what went wrong with this year's sockeye run and present a public report with binding solutions within six months.
Animal Welfare
Routine Proceedings
12:10 p.m.
Joyce Murray Vancouver Quadra, BC
Mr. Speaker, I have a petition to present to the House in support of the universal declaration on animal welfare.
The residents of Vancouver Quadra and around the Lower Mainland draw to the attention of the House that there is a scientific consensus and public acknowledgement that animals can feel pain and suffer and that all efforts should be made to prevent animal cruelty and reduce animal suffering.
The petitioners call upon Parliament to support a universal declaration on animal welfare.
Questions on the Order Paper
Routine Proceedings
12:10 p.m.
Cypress Hills—Grasslands
David Anderson Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Natural Resources and for the Canadian Wheat Board
Mr. Speaker, a revised response to Question No. 433, originally answered on November 16, 2009 will be tabled today.
Question No. 433
Questions on the Order Paper
Routine Proceedings
12:10 p.m.
Dan McTeague Pickering—Scarborough East, ON
With regard to the government's handling of the Omar Khadr and Abousfian Abdelrazik cases, for each case: (b) what is the breakdown of all outside consultants hired for any purpose, including public relations, and the value of the associated contracts?

Rob Nicholson Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada

Release date: 2/3/2005
Raleigh: Two telemarketing fraud operations located in Canada and Florida will no longer be able to cheat North Carolina consumers, Attorney General Roy Cooper announced today.
Cooper's office joined with U.S. and Canadian authorities to shut down a major telemarketing fraud ring in Montreal today. Also today, a Florida telemarketing firm that charged customers for credit cards and credit relief services but failed to deliver has been ordered to stop contacting North Carolina consumers, Cooper announced.
"Telemarketing fraud artists are out to trick hard-working North Carolinians out of their money," said Cooper. "We'll keep going after these telemarketing outfits, whether they're located here, in another state or another county."
Cooper's Telemarketing Fraud Prevention Project has worked with Canadian and federal US officials in a twoyear investigation that today resulted in the closure of First Choice Teleservices telemarketing centers in Montreal, Canada and the arrest so far of more than 15 suspects. Cooper's office works frequently with federal and international authorities to track down telemarketing scammers and other fraud artists who prey on North Carolinians.
One of Cooper's investigators is currently in Montreal assisting those authorities with information provided by North Carolina victims as well as information from Cooper's investigations into related US-based firms. The suspects are alleged to have defrauded consumers through a variety of scams, including false promises of sweepstakes winnings and loans, grants and credit cards in exchange for a fee. The case is being prosecuted by the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York.
Today in Wake County Superior Court, Judge Donald W. Stephens granted Cooper's request to stop another telemarketing firm, Phoenix Consumer Services of Florida, from targeting North Carolina consumers. Under terms of today's preliminary injunction, Phoenix must stop placing calls or mailing packages to North Carolina while Cooper's case against the firm goes forward.
Cooper filed suit last week seeking to stop Phoenix from violating laws on unfair and deceptive trade practices, telemarketing sales and loan brokering and to win refunds for North Carolina consumers. The telemarketing company, based in Largo, FL, is the eighth outfit from that area that Cooper has stopped from contacting North Carolina consumers with illegal telemarketing pitches within the past four years
As alleged in the complaint, Phoenix Consumer Services began calling North Carolina consumers in early 2003 with offers of pre-approved credit cards and credit repair services. The telemarketers told consumers that if they paid a fee of $129.95, the company would improve their credit or send them a pre-approved credit card within two weeks. After they paid the fee, consumers got a packet of information about credit and how to apply for credit cards from other financial institutions but no one ever got a credit card or help with their credit. Consumers who complained to Phoenix about the product and asked for a refund were never granted one.
When Phoenix telemarketers made their pitch, they asked consumers for their bank account information so the fee could be drafted from their account. In some cases, the telemarketers already had customers' bank account numbers and read them out over the phone for confirmation. Some consumers who declined Phoenix's pitch still had the fee
debited from their account. During one nine-month period, Phoenix attempted to debit fees from at least 1,885 North Carolina consumers' bank accounts.
A total of 11 North Carolina consumers have filed complaints about Phoenix with Cooper's Consumer Protection Division or the Federal Trade Commission. However, United Parcel Service records show that Phoenix mailed packets to more than 1,000 North Carolina addresses in a six-month period. Cooper's office estimates that approximately 2,000 consumers across the state may be victims of this group's scam. Any North Carolina consumer who has dealt with Phoenix is encouraged to file a complaint by calling 1-877-5-NO-SCAM.
Action against both Phoenix and First Choice Teleservices by Cooper's Telemarketing Fraud Prevention Project is funded by the US Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Assistance.
"Telemarketers will use every trick in the book to get your money, including dangling offers of easy credit over the phone," Cooper said. "To make sure you don't get lured in by these offers, sign up for the Do Not Call Registry and then report any telemarketer who calls you to my office."
To sign up for the Do Not Call list, consumers can call 1-888-382-1222 or visit www.nocallsnc.com. Consumers whose numbers are listed on the Registry can file a complaint with the Attorney General's Office by calling 1-877-5-NO-SCAM.

A quarter of a million people gathered near the Lincoln Memorial in the nation's capital for the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. It was August 28, 1963, and many there that day knew the final speaker as an activist who had led groundbreaking civil rights protests in the heart of Dixie. But the world would soon know Martin Luther King, Jr., as the man who awakened the soul of a nation with one of the most important orations in American history.
Related Content
King, the head of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, one of five civil rights groups that organized the march, began with prepared remarks noting that "five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation." But deep into his 16-minute address, King began to improvise, drawing on his extraordinary gifts as a preacher. "I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: 'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,' " he said. King, who was only 34, had used the "I have a dream" phrase in other speeches, but never so stirringly or so memorably.
Bob Adelman, a photographer's assistant then 32 years old, was near the podium. "I kept getting closer until I must've been only seven or eight feet away," he recalls. "I took 80 to 90 frames of him speaking. It was probably the greatest moment in his life and the greatest moment in mine."
"I have a dream," King went on, "that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream today!"
People in the front row joined hands and began swaying, says Drew Hansen, author of a new book, The Dream: Martin Luther King, Jr. and the Speech that Inspired a Nation. King was a "poet who could take the words of the King James Bible, the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence and make them uniquely his own," Hansen says.
By the time King thundered "Let freedom ring! Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee," some in the crowd were weeping. Tension mounted, and at the end of King's address, his voice booming yet lyrical, he called for the day "When all of God's children—black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics—will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, 'Free at last, free at last, thank God Almighty, we are free at last!' " The crowd released a "great cry like the sound of the heavens being torn open," Hansen writes.
Julian Bond, chairman of the NAACP and a former Georgia congressman, was also at the event, which was carried by radio and television. "For the first time a mass white audience heard the undeniable justice of black demands," Bond later recalled. King himself referred to the occasion as that "radiant August day."
King was born in Atlanta in 1929. His father was a Baptist minister and his mother, a schoolteacher. He started college at 15 and obtained his doctorate in theology at BostonUniversity. He found in Mahatma Gandhi's nonviolent approach to reform a "moral and practical way to struggle against social injustice."
Starting in the 1950s, King led numerous demonstrations, including the 1955-1956 Montgomery Bus Boycott, which ended segregation on the public transit system in Alabama. Still, many regard the "Dream" speech as his apotheosis. The oration is cherished because it marks a "hopeful and triumphant time in King's career and in the trajectory of the civil rights movement," Hansen says. Among the era's triumphs were the Civil Rights Act of 1964, barring segregation in public places; the 24th Amendment to the Constitution, ratified in 1964, prohibiting the poll tax; and the 1965 Voting Rights Act, abolishing literacy tests as a requirement for registering to vote.
In 1968, King, who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964, was in Memphis supporting striking sanitation workers when he gave his last public address. "Longevity has its place," he said. "But I'm not concerned about that now." He went on, "I may not get there with you. But . . . we as a people will get to the promised land." He was assassinated the next day, April 4.

Same-sex marriage at the Capitol
THUMBS UP: We wouldn't blame anyone for arguing that with so much left to accomplish during the 2013 legislative session our policymakers shouldn't spend as much time as they have a social issue like same-sex marriage, but this an issue that needs to come to a conclusion this year. Minnesota is close to becoming the 12th state to legalize gay marriage, and considering how both sides of the issue continue to send their message statewide and at the Capitol, one can't discount the importance of these votes. This is a potentially historic time in our state, and to simply gloss over this issue would be an injustice.
Farm bill this summer?stay tuned
THUMBS UP: DFL Congressman Collin Peterson showed some optimism this week when he told the Associated Press he's hopeful Congress will pass a new farm bill sometime this summer. We hope he's right. It's high time the U.S. House and Senate ag committees put their bills together and work together to craft a much-needed farm bill to replace the current antiquated one. And it would be nice if they could get it done before the August recess, although considering how Washington works, that might be asking too much.
School board addresses policies
THUMBS UP: We were pleased to see the Marshall School Board waste little time in addressing its policies regarding student trips this week. A little more than a week after a Marshall 4-year-old was left behind at a museum in Brookings, S.D., the school took action and updated its policies and procedures to hopefully ensure nothing like this ever happens again. There are many "rules" in the new policy, but the biggest one requires multiple head counts throughout the trip – one at check-in, one on the bus before departure, one during the trip and one at every stop where students are allowed to get on and off the bus. If anything, the school appears to have learned from its mistake, and a silver lining from what can only be described as a nightmare for the parents of the boy is that changes will be in place for future field trips.

Epilepsy is a chronic condition produced by temporary changes in the electrical function of the brain, causing seizures, which can affect awareness, movement, or sensation.
Seizures occur when clusters of nerve cells in the brain, called neurons, signal or communicate with each other abnormally. During a seizure, the neurons' normal pattern of activity is disturbed. It causes them to fire as many as 500 times per second instead of the normal rate of about 80 times per second. This can cause strange sensations, emotions, and behavior, or convulsions, muscle spasms, and/or loss of consciousness.

A diagnosis of epilepsy is usually not made until a person has a seizure more than once without a preventable cause.
The causes of abnormal brain wiring and imbalance of neurotransmitters are numerous. They can include:

Joyce Murray Vancouver Quadra, BC
Mr. Speaker, the government promised that it would not stand in the way of countries that want to have an international climate change agreement, but it has done just that and so it has been shamed once again with the fossil of the year award. What the Conservatives do not understand is that by isolating Canada--

The Environment
Oral Questions
11:55 a.m.
Joyce Murray Vancouver Quadra, BC
Mr. Speaker, Conservative members are laughing, but in fact they are going to be losing Canadian jobs because more and more countries are putting trade restrictions on products from countries like Canada that are climate change laggards.
Why are the Conservatives jeopardizing Canadian jobs with their backward approach to climate change? It is shameful.
The Environment
Oral Questions
11:55 a.m.
Calgary Centre-North
Michelle Rempel Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of the Environment
Mr. Speaker, in spite of the Liberal government's inaction on climate change and its record of increased emissions, our government is taking an international leadership stand. We want to have all major emitters sitting around the table and developing an agreement that would see real change in greenhouse gas emission reduction. We have a sector by sector approach that will see domestic action at home. This plan is working.
With regard to the fossil of the year award, the member opposite should know that the real award that counts is that our country sits on top of the G7 with regard to economic growth and job creation.
International Trade
Oral Questions
December 9th, 2011 / noon
Djaouida Sellah Saint-Bruno—Saint-Hubert, QC
Mr. Speaker, once again, the government is negotiating an agreement that would be very detrimental to Canadians.
If free trade talks with the European Union go ahead and Canada agrees to extend patent protection for prescription drugs by three years, the price of medications could go up by nearly $3 billion.
The health care system is already struggling and families are having a hard time making ends meet.
When will this government understand that it needs to lower prices and not raise them?
International Trade
Oral Questions
South Shore—St. Margaret's
Nova Scotia
Gerald Keddy Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of International Trade
Mr. Speaker, we were successful in signing the comprehensive economic trading agreement with the European Union. There is something that will go up in Canada, without question. There will be a $12 billion annual boost to the Canadian economy, a $1,000 increase to every family's income, and somewhere in the neighbourhood of 80,000 new jobs created.
In the meantime, we will continue to look after Canada's best interests and that includes pharmaceuticals.
Aboriginal Affairs
Oral Questions
Dick Harris Cariboo—Prince George, BC
Mr. Speaker, our government has acted responsibly to ensure that residents of Attawapiskat have access to safe and warm shelter for the coming months. We delivered urgent funding to renovate existing homes on the reserve and brought in much needed supplies quickly. What is more, we have provided the chief with a detailed action plan to address the situation.
Could the minister please update the House on what else we are doing for the community to ensure results for residents and Canadian taxpayers?
Aboriginal Affairs
Oral Questions
Vancouver Island North
John Duncan Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development
Mr. Speaker, our priority is the health and safety of the people of Attawapiskat. Real progress is being made for the residents and Canadian taxpayers.
Today I announced the purchase of 15 modular homes for delivery to the community. I have also ordered a comprehensive and independent audit to identify how money has been spent and what oversight measures have been taken in the last five years.
We want to ensure the people of Attawapiskat get the results they deserve and all Canadians expect.
Official Languages
Oral Questions
Lysane Blanchette-Lamothe Pierrefonds—Dollard, QC
Mr. Speaker, the Commissioner of Official Languages received 400 complaints last year about the language of work at Air Canada.
Four hundred complaints in one year clearly shows that there is a problem. What is Air Canada doing? The company is moving over a hundred jobs from Montreal to Ontario.
Does the government think it is normal that working in English is becoming the norm at Air Canada?
Official Languages
Oral Questions
Pierre Poilievre Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Transport
Mr. Speaker, Air Canada has official language obligations. According to the act and the requirements that the federal government put in place a long time ago, Air Canada must meet those obligations. Our federal government supports the Official Languages Act, and we expect other organizations that have the same obligations to meet them.
Budget Cuts
Oral Questions
André Bellavance Richmond—Arthabaska, QC
Mr. Speaker, the government is about to require $8 billion in cuts per year, twice as much as it anticipated in its economic statement presented just one month ago. At the same time, the Conservatives are going to spend $19 billion on prisons, $30 billion on fighter jets, and tens of millions of dollars on monarchist symbols and the commemoration of a forgotten war against the United States.
Will the Minister of Finance get his priorities straight by making cuts in those areas and guarantee that service to the public and transfers to Quebec will not be affected?
Budget Cuts
Oral Questions
North Vancouver
Andrew Saxton Parliamentary Secretary to the President of the Treasury Board and for Western Economic Diversification
Mr. Speaker, this review is focusing on responsible government spending to ensure ongoing value for Canadian taxpayers. This review is also an opportunity to modernize how we do business. Canadians have trusted us to make responsible, reasonable and judicious decisions.

For over 25 years, Dorel Juvenile Group has been dedicated to helping provide a safer world for children. The disciplined approach to product development is showcased by their diverse portfolio of powerful brands and innovative products. Each brand encompasses a vast breadth of products - from car seats to strollers, high chairs to play yards, monitors to childproofing products, and more. For decades, parents have placed their trust - and their children's safety - in Safety 1st's hands. A responsibility we take to heart with the launch of each new product.
Currently based in Foxboro, Massachusetts, Dorel initially entered the juvenile market in 1984 as the Safety1st brand with the now classic and internationally recognized "Baby on Board" sign. Fueled by the immediate success of the sign, Safety 1st soon claimed a market niche in child safety and became the first brand to develop a comprehensive line of "childproofing" products. In 1988, building upon the strong child safety foundation, they expanded their offering to cover other juvenile categories and quickly developed a reputation for unique, feature-rich, quality products at affordable prices.
In 2000, Safety 1st was acquired by Dorel Industries Inc. Dorel is a rapidly growing consumer products manufacturer specializing in juvenile products; a wide variety of ready-to-assemble home and office furniture; and home furnishings such as metal folding chairs, tables, bunk beds, futons and step stools. Its solid history includes successfully integrating various acquisitions, including Cosco, Charleswood, Maxi-Miliaan, Ameriwood Industries and Bebe Confort. The acquisition of Safety 1st, though, is Dorel's largest to date.
Dorel and Safety 1st attribute their continued success to an unwavering commitment to safety, innovation and value. It's what parents look for from Safety 1st, and what they are proud to continually deliver.
Standard shipping is via FedEx or Canada Post. The estimated delivery time will be approximately 5 - 8 business days after the order is shipped. Delivery times will depend on the local delivery schedule of the carrier, and it may not be possible to make an appointment.

Workplace Wellness: Improving Health and Controlling Health Care Spending
Comments welcome on this page. See Rules of Conduct.
Workplace Wellness: Improving Health and Controlling Health Care Spending
According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, chronic disease is responsible for 7 out of 10 deaths among Americans every year. And we know that the costs associated with treating individuals with chronic conditions account for the majority of annual spending on medical care. Across the country, more employers are learning how nondiscriminatory employer-based prevention and wellness programs can help improve the overall health of our workers and control health care spending—and the Affordable Care Act is making it easier.
The Cost of Chronic Disease and the Benefits of Workplace Wellness
HHS reports that the cost of treatment for those with chronic conditions like heart disease, cancer, strokes, and diabetes accounts for over 75% of our annual medical care costs. In addition to these direct costs, the indirect costs associated with poor health --such as worker absenteeism, reduced productivity, and disability -- may be significantly higher. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), these productivity losses due to personal and family health issues can cost U.S. businesses $1,685 per employee per year, or $225.8 billion annually.
So how can you help your employees protect against illness, while also ramping up your workplace productivity?
Workplace wellness programs can help promote healthy behaviors and improve employees' health-related knowledge. They also help employees get important health screenings, immunizations, and follow-up care. Implementing and promoting workplace wellness programs such as those that reward employees for achieving targeted health-related standards can help improve the health of America's workforce and reduce long-run costs.
New Incentives for Workplace Wellness Programs under the Affordable Care Act
The Affordable Care Act creates new incentives to promote employer wellness programs and encourage employers to take more opportunities to support healthier workplaces. Health-contingent wellness programs generally require individuals to meet a specific standard related to their health to obtain a reward, such as programs that provide a reward to employees who don't use, or decrease their use of, tobacco, and programs that reward employees who achieve a specified level or lower cholesterol.
Under finalized rules that take effect on January 1, 2014, the maximum reward to employers using a health-contingent wellness program will increase from 20 percent to 30 percent of the cost of health coverage.
Additionally, under the final rules, the maximum reward for programs designed to prevent or reduce tobacco use will be as much as 50 percent. The rules also allow for flexibility in the types of wellness programs employers can offer. More information on the finalized rules is available from HHS and the U.S. Departments of Labor and Treasury.
Workplace Wellness How-To's and Resources
To help you get started, or to expand your workplace wellness program, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has a great set of online resources, including toolkits, tips on program design, and a "one-stop" shop for online program resources.
To view the final rules related to new incentives for employer wellness programs under the Affordable Care Act, click here.

Hello, I joined recently out of frustration from the short program. (Russia's inflation + Mao's performance = )
I told all my friends after the SP judging that Adelina would win gold EVEN if both Carolina and Yuna skated clean. No one believed me, but I sensed a storm brewing when I looked at the score sheet. I'm sure some of you did, too. Lo and behold, we have Russian gold.
For me, what made the inflation glaringly obvious (besides the ridiculous PCS of the Russians during the short program) was after comparing Adelina's FS scores with not only Yuna's, but with Carolina's and Mao's. How did she trump all top three skaters' clean performances in the categories they're most famous for. Adelina beat Carolina in component scores? Really? She even received higher marks overall for her jumps than Mao. (Oh, and I found it hilarious that Yulia reached the elusive 200 mark with two falls. Ha.)
Here are two articles I believe sum up everything about the Yuna vs. Adelina controversy thus far.
When someone asks you to prove evidence of inflation and home-cooking, these two articles explain it pretty well even for casual fans.
Well, what do you guys think of Hanyu's FS (with 1 fall) PCS rise from 81+ at TEB to 92+ at GPF to beat Patrick Chan, with less than 3 weeks between BOTH competitions, hmm? Where's the hue and cry? Where are the petitions to ISU?
Waiting for an answer!
Yuzuru got 92.38 pcs at the grand prix final so this isn't the first time he gets 92+ and you can't say that the japanese skaters were overscored there just because the event was held in Japan given that Mao got 68.79 pcs, wich is obviously tooooooo low
I also want to say that Patrick Chan is also often overscored in the pcs (with falls and mistakes on the jumps) and even if Yuzuru have had -4 points in the pcs he would have won due to his higher TES and quality of jumps
If Hanyu's PCS at GPF didn't suddenly shoot up by +14, Chan would have been GPF Gold medalist. If Hanyu's FS PCS had remained at TEB 81 (and earlier in Oct at 76 in SC), instead of 92 at Sochi, then Chan would be OGM today.
I'm sure Canadians will be too happy to open this can of worms and grabbing the gold back!
They do this because that's the only way a younger skater can beat an older, reputed skater. Without equalizing Hanyu's and Chan's PCS, Hanyu's more difficult program and higher BV can NEVER play catch-up with this 20+ PCS gap.
Interesting Youtube video about Sotnikova's RIDICULOUS SCORE.
2. You seem to be forgetting that in the Men's competition PCS are multiplied by a factor of 2, while in ladies they are multiplied by 1.6, so it doesn't make sense to compare increases directly like you are doing here.
3. Please stop spamming every thread with the same message. I swear I saw this in at least 6-7 different threads today.
ETA: At the GPF, the gap in PCS between Patrick and Yuzuru was 3 points (with both of them relatively clean). In Sochi, the PCS gap between Yuna and Adelina was 0.09 points.
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5cVW0h6U3D4" on EVERY thread there is out there about Sochi. You need to look into a mirror.
However, it is worth repeating because you just pretend you don't get it.
You proved my point - BOTH PCS of Chan-Hanyu and Kim-Sotnikova were MADE to be extremely close, so the gap is 3 and 0.9, Hanyu +15, Sotnikova +7, to the point where the veterans could be overcome by the younger skaters TES and more difficult programs!

The 50th anniversary of The Beatles coming to the US got me thinking. That's half a century ... crazy.
Crazy that Paul has been making fabulous sounds for half a century. Truly a genuis who shows little signs of slowing down.
Now for the fun, and telling, part. I consider Flowers in the Dirt to be the beginning of Paul's "modern" period. Really, for me, the period when I began to pay attention to his solo career again. It's a 25 year period then, a quarter of a century. Wow! He has put out some great stuff during this period. So I accumulated my favorite songs from that period. I have completed the burning of the first disc, and I think it is awesome. (The second will be done soon and will be nearly as strong.) Here's my track list ... I guess the question is - would the first 25 years match up or exceed? With his work from The Beatles included, I think the first 25 years would clearly exceed. Use only Wings and solo from 1970 up to 1989 and I think the last 25 years are better.

Regulations May Help Improve China's Image
Posted Apr 28, 2011 in Management
Back in the 80s, Japan was labeled the villain whose cheap goods were driving a trade deficit and unemployment in the United States. Then those socks, t-shirt and household goods industries found even cheaper labor and costs--first in Thailand, then Malaysia, Mexico, India and eventually China--as multinational businesses jumped from country to country seeking the best deals. And now, the exodus of manufacturing plants from China to cheaper labor countries such as Vietnam has begun.
Once the epicenter of low-cost manufacturing, China now has implemented new labor laws and environmental regulations and is changing tax incentives in an effort to pacify citizens and global critics and encourage an exodus of factories from an area long considered the world's shop floor. For example, employers are now required to offer employment contracts, a social security program and overtime pay. In addition, the Chinese government is pressing multinational corporations to allow the state-approved labor union to organize in their businesses.
These mandates--coupled with the rising yuan and falling dollar--have contributed to a 17% increase in the cost of manufacturing in China according to the American Chamber of Commerce in South India. "The days of ultra cheap labor and little regulation are gone [in China]. As manufacturers' costs climb, export prices will follow," says an April 7, 2008 BusinessWeek article, "China's Factory Blues."
Typically the workers receiving China's minimum wage are textile laborers that have minimal skill and training, whereas dental laboratories are perceived to be part of a higher-skilled, higher-technology manufacturing sector that the government wants to cultivate. Technicians in general attend either a one- or two-year program plus a one-year apprenticeship program. The two-year program consists of all facets of fixed and removable dental lab technology and may possibly include orthodontics. The one-year program focuses on either fixed or removables. "Salaries place technicians in the middle-class salary range relative to the Chinese economy," explains Mark Frichtel, president of Jesse & Frichtel, Inc., Pittsburgh, Pennsylanvia, which runs an international division, JF International. With the industry's rapid growth, the wage competition for technicians in China is hot.
"The funny part about it is the talent level has gone way up too. We're not seeing the same issues as the lower-end, lower-trained manufacturing companies are seeing," Frichtel says. "What we were seeing four years ago when we went into this was work that was 'acceptable'. They had very good metal work but the porcelain work was mediocre. Right now they can do almost any type of case, they're bringing in CAD/CAM-based zirconia systems so they're able to do up to and including full arch cases. With the new porcelains each case looks more vital and lifelike. The talent level of the people doing the work is getting much better."
Welcome Changes
Benjamin Li, chief sales officer of DentUSA Laboratory in Shanghai, welcomes the shift in government policy but doesn't anticipate many changes for his business. In fact, Shanghai was chosen as the location for the laboratory nine years ago because regulations were in place there well before they were in the rest of the country. "We wanted to operate in an area that would be free of the stigma associated with low and unfair wages; the city of Shanghai was one of the first to institute a legal minimum wage as well as employee benefits like healthcare, paid leave of absence and a 40-hour work week," says Li. "Making these regulations country-wide is a huge step that will allow China to catch up with the rest of the world."
Li also says he is grateful that policymakers are paying more attention to environmental regulations. "There's no denying that with all of the industrial parks and factories here in China, our output of pollution and harmful chemical wastes is higher than that of some other nations," he says. "In a country where manual labor is the number one asset, this is the cost of growth; similar to what the United States and Britain experienced in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. But with a heightened level of responsibility now in the 21st century, China is making a strong effort to curtail the amount of pollution it produces."

Man arrested in Iron River on assault, drug charges
Smugglers still cashing in on Michigan can refund
LANSING (AP) – Michigan lawmakers want to crack down on can and bottle smugglers they say are scamming Michigan for undeserved recycling refunds, corrupting a generous 10-cent per container payback policy once infamously portrayed in a "Seinfeld" episode and which beverage officials now claim costs the state millions of dollars annually.
"Seinfeld" characters Kramer and Newman failed miserably in their comedic attempt to cash in on the refund, when they loaded a mail truck full of cans and bottles in New York and attempted to drive them to Michigan. But lawmakers say it's a serious problem, especially in border counties, and they want to toughen penalties on people who try to return unmarked, out-of-state cans and bottles for refunds.
"If you are intending to defraud … then you should be held accountable for it," said Republican Rep. Kenneth Kurtz of Coldwater. He recently introduced legislation aimed at cracking down on scammers who drive car and truck loads of cans from Indiana, Wisconsin and Ohio – states that do not offer refunds – to stores across the border in Michigan.
His legislation would make an attempt to return between 100 and 10,000 non-returnable containers punishable by up to 93 days in jail and a $1,000 fine. Current law sets penalties only for those who actually return fraudulent containers.
Michigan's 10 cent-per-container refund – the highest in the country – was enacted more than 30 years ago to encourage recycling. Many say it's worked. The state's recycling rate for cans and bottles was nearly 96 percent in 2011. By contrast, New York, one of nine states with nickel deposits on most containers, saw only a 66.8 percent redemption rate in 2007, the most recent figure available.
Despite measures Michigan lawmakers have taken over the years, including tougher penalties for bottle scammers and new machines that kick out fraudulent cans, store owners and distributors along the border say illegal returns persist.
Mike Hautala owns Hautala Distributing, which services Gogebic and Ontonagon counties in the western part of the Upper Peninsula near the Wisconsin border. He said for every case of beer his distributorship delivers to a store along the border, it picks up about seven more cases of empty cans.
The state loses $10 million to $13 million a year to fraudulent redemptions, according to most recent 2007 estimates from the Michigan Beer and Wine Wholesalers Association. Angela Madden, the association's director of governmental affairs, said that number has likely gone down slightly because of changes implemented since, but not by much.
Despite their best efforts to clamp down on fraudulent bottles, a federal lawsuit may shake things up even more. In 2012, a federal appeals court in Cincinnati struck down the Michigan law that makes beverage companies put a special mark on cans sold in the state. It said the Michigan law is illegally affecting interstate commerce by dictating where cans can be distributed.
Joy Yearout, spokeswoman for Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette, said the office has requested a stay on the ruling and plans to file a petition with the U.S. Supreme Court in April.

As already discussed, Matthew Lee Anderson's recent Christianity Today cover story on "radical Christianity" has been making waves. This week at The High Calling, Marcus Goodyear offers a healthy critique of one of Anderson's key subjects, David Platt, aligning quite closely with Anderson's analysis about the ultimate challenges such movements face when it comes to long-term cultural cultivation.
Focusing on Platt's latest book, Follow Me, Goodyear notes that, despite Platt's admirable efforts to get Christians "off their seats," he often "emphasizes the great commission so much, it overshadows all other teachings of the Bible."
Pointing to John Stott's book, Christian Mission in the Modern World, Goodyear argues that we mustn't neglect the rest:
[Platt's] kind of thinking can lead us to forget that God is "the Creator who in the beginning gave man a 'cultural mandate' to subdue and rule the earth, who has instituted governing authorities as his 'ministers' to order society and maintain justice."
According to Stott, Christians must take the original cultural mandate in Genesis as seriously as the great commission. Our approach to missions must view social justice and vocational good as more than a means to evangelism. We are called to share our faith. There is no question about that. But we are also called to more than words. We are called to work in the world today just as we were before the Fall.
Indeed, there is an unfortunate tendency in evangelicalism to prioritize short-term evangelism over long-term cultural engagement, whether in business, the arts, or even the family. Yet in addition to the negative impacts such an approach is bound to have on both our cultural impact and our evangelism, it all begins with a fundamental distortion of how we view our daily work in and of itself.

"As power utilities migrate their communications network infrastructure to newer packet-switched architectures, they have to accommodate mission-critical applications. This means the newer networks must have the same high levels of reliability they enjoyed in their legacy networks.
Because communications is essential to the operation of the electrical grid, the operational network requires the highest level of resiliency. Historically, a single technology was the key to this resiliency. For instance, for a SONET/SDH-based network, the utility would use a ring or redundant SONET/SDH link for backup."

Fun indoor exercise options in Portland
Posted by in trampoline , portland , physical therapist , indoor exercise , climbing , capoeira , bouldering
Everyone knows that physical therapists are exercise fanatics by nature. Unfortunately, sometimes Portland's rainy weather leaves the trails, roadways and fields too soggy for us to get our movement fix. Here are a few of the indoor exercise options that we've turned to, over the years, to help us stay moving:
1. Indoor rock climbing at Portland Rock Gym: http://www.portlandrockgym.com/
2. Indoor bouldering at The Circuit: http://www.thecircuitgym.com/
3. Trampoline fun at Sky High Sports: http://por.jumpskyhigh.com/
4. Brazilian martial arts with Mestre Almiro, of Grupo de Capoeira Regional do Brasil: http://capoeiraportland.com/
