Auditor General of Canada
Routine Proceedings
10:05 a.m.
The Speaker Andrew Scheer
I have the honour to lay upon the table the spring 2012 report of the Auditor General of Canada. Pursuant to Standing Order 108(3)(g), this document is deemed to have been permanently referred to the Standing Committee on Public Accounts.
Canadian Human Rights Tribunal
Routine Proceedings
10:05 a.m.
The Speaker Andrew Scheer
I have the honour to lay upon the table the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal's 2011 annual report.
Canada Labour Code
Routine Proceedings
April 3rd, 2012 / 10:05 a.m.
Carol Hughes Algoma—Manitoulin—Kapuskasing, ON
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-411, An Act to amend the Canada Labour Code (occupational disease registry).
Mr. Speaker, it gives me great pleasure to introduce a bill that was tabled in the previous Parliament by Tony Martin, my former colleague from Sault Ste. Marie, who we all know was one of the hardest working MPs this House has ever seen.
I thank my colleague from Jonquière—Alma for seconding the bill.
The bill would require employers to report information about all accidents, occupational disease and other hazardous occurrences known by the employer to the Minister of Labour. It would also require the minister to maintain a registry containing all of that information and to make the information available to employees and potential employees for examination.
As I speak, I am drawn to the memory of my friend, Julius Hava, and his courageous battle with mesothelioma stemming from a workplace carcinogen.
He is not alone. We need only look at Elliot Lake. Every April 28, more names of deceased workers are added to the miners' memorial monument due to occupational diseases.
The measures laid out in the bill would be very important going forward for workers. I hope members on all sides of the House will see the merit in the bill and help move the chains forward on an issue of significant importance to many Canadians.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed)
Official Development Assistance Accountability Act
Routine Proceedings
10:05 a.m.
Jinny Sims Newton—North Delta, BC
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-412, An Act to amend the Official Development Assistance Accountability Act (poverty reduction).
Madam Speaker, as the official opposition critic for international co-operation, I am pleased to introduce an act to amend the Official Development Assistance Accountability Act, seconded by the member for Laurier—Sainte-Marie.
My bill seeks to ensure that Canada meets the international target for donor countries of spending the equivalent of 0.7% of GNI on official overseas development assistance.
New Democrats believe that Canada can and should do more to help the world's poorest countries and people. In fact, the NDP official opposition is the only party in Canada that remains committed to former prime minister Lester B. Pearson's aspirations of dedicating 0.7% of our gross national income to development funding.
In our 2011 platform, we called for an immediate increase of $500 millions to Canada's ODA envelope, followed by a practical plan to reach the 0.7% over time.
For the NDP, this is not just an election issue. In 2005, our late leader, Jack Layton, was presented with a rare opportunity to rewrite a Liberal government budget. Jack cancelled billions of dollars in corporate tax cuts and invested the funds in priority areas, including a major boost to Canada's ODA.
When we consider that the 0.7% goal was originally set by former Liberal prime minister Lester B. Pearson and that the Conservatives believe in a robust foreign aid system, I hope my bill might find support from all corners of the House.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed)
Criminal Code
Routine Proceedings
10:10 a.m.
Joe Comartin Windsor—Tecumseh, ON
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-413, An Act to amend the Criminal Code (judicial discretion).
Madam Speaker, this is a fairly straightforward bill to amend the Criminal Code. It is a provision that first appeared in the English criminal justice system.
Given the role that the government has played in increasingly dumping more mandatory minimums on to our judicial system, it is a way of moving back to what should be the case in this country, which is allowing each conviction and sentencing to be dealt with on the facts before the court at the time. What England did was to give to its judiciary the discretion to override mandatory minimums in appropriate cases, and that is what this private member's bill would do.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed)
Criminal Code
Routine Proceedings
10:10 a.m.
Joe Comartin Windsor—Tecumseh, ON
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-414, An Act to amend the Criminal Code (cruelty to animals).
Madam Speaker, this private member's bill deals with an issue that is scandalous in that it was not put into law many years ago. This bill, in a somewhat different form, has been through this House twice and then stopped, once by prorogation and another time by the Senate.
The bill is quite straightforward. It is to address the reality that our criminal law dealing with animal cruelty has not been changed for over 100 years. This bill would bring us into the 21st century where other countries, which I would argue from a criminal justice standpoint are not nearly as advanced as Canada is, have moved on this issue.
The bill would do two basic things. It first recognizes that animals are sentient beings as opposed to a piece of wood or a piece of furniture, which is the way the Criminal Code currently treats them. The other thing that it would do has a very clear consequence. The number of convictions for animal cruelty would increase dramatically under the Criminal Code. We have estimates that only one in a thousand cases of animal cruelty can result in convictions under the Criminal Code, and this would address that issue.
It is a bill that I have worked on for a very long time and this is the third time I have had it as a private member's bill. It has been before this House for well over a decade and still has not become law.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed)
Routine Proceedings
10:10 a.m.
Carol Hughes Algoma—Manitoulin—Kapuskasing, ON
Madam Speaker, I have a petition calling on the government to maintain funding for OAS and to make the requisite investments in the guaranteed income supplement to lift every senior out of poverty.
These petitioners know all too well that the OAS is affordable and that the Parliamentary Budget Officer and the OECD have indicated that OAS is well funded. They also understand that the government's arguments citing that people are living longer ignores the fact that those living the longest are the most well-to-do and that lower income Canadians do not share the benefit.
Finally, the petitioners understand that these changes will affect future generations who are being piled upon by the government that is only interested in immediate results, not those of our children and our grandchildren.
Most of these signatures are from the great city of Elliot Lake.
Routine Proceedings
10:15 a.m.
Andrew Cash Davenport, ON
Madam Speaker, a couple of weeks ago, the Minister of Public Safety stood in this House and told Canadians that if they were against the Conservatives' lawful access legislation, then they were for and stood with child pornographers. The very good people of my riding in Davenport in Toronto beg to differ.
Many have signed this petition I am presenting today because they have deep concerns about major parts of this legislation. The bill compels telecommunications companies to collect and store personal information about users and hand over this information to law enforcement agencies without a warrant.
Upholding civil liberties, including the right to privacy, is the bedrock on which liberal democracies have been built.
The folks in my riding who have signed this petition wish to add their names to the well over 80,000 people who have signed a similar petition on OpenMedia.ca. I am honoured to be able to present this petition on their behalf in this House today.
The Environment
Routine Proceedings
10:15 a.m.
Elizabeth May Saanich—Gulf Islands, BC
Madam Speaker, I rise today to present two petitions.
The first petition is signed by residents of Salt Spring Island within my riding who seek to bring the attention of the government, ironically, to the recommendations of the National Round Table on the Environment and the Economy. They point out that the round table was created under the previous prime minister, the right hon. Brian Mulroney, and that it put forward estimates of the costs to our economy of ignoring the climate crisis.
This information, I wish to point out for the Minister of the Environment, is completely inaccessible on the Internet and is only developed through a multi-stakeholder process involving industry leadership, environmental groups, first nations and trade unions. There is no replacement for the national round table and its recommendations are brought forward by the petitioners calling for urgent action on the climate crisis. They lament the decision in the budget to kill the agency.
The second petition is from residents of Victoria, Duncan, Lasqueti Island, Hornby, Thetis Island, as well as Toronto calling on the Government of Canada to act urgently to bring into place a climate change plan to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases. The petitioners are also very much focused on the need to have a full, fair and transparent inquiry into the proposed pipeline across northern British Columbia to supertankers, which the petitioners believe are inherently unsafe in the northern waters of British Columbia.
Routine Proceedings
10:15 a.m.
Irene Mathyssen London—Fanshawe, ON
Madam Speaker, it is my pleasure to present two petitions on behalf of my constituents and others across the country.
The first petition is in regard to veterans. On April 9, we will be commemorating the 95th anniversary of Vimy Ridge. While we honour first world war veterans, tragically we have forgotten about modern-day veterans, the young men and women who have answered their country's call, provided service and ensured our freedom.
The petitioners want the Government of Canada to recognize the service of post-Korean veterans and to honour its commitment to ensure they have the benefits and supports they need. In addition to that, the petitioners call upon the House of Commons to conduct a full and honest debate on the future of the Department of Veterans Affairs and the services and benefits provided to our veterans and peacekeepers. They call upon the government to respect the will of Parliament and immediately implement any motions or legislation that would allow veterans to have the same services, including veterans hospitals, as their predecessors.
Routine Proceedings
10:15 a.m.
Irene Mathyssen London—Fanshawe, ON
Madam Speaker, the second petition is in regard to poverty. As we all know, poverty affects about 10% of Canadians and disproportionately affects aboriginal people, recent immigrants and seniors.
The petitioners call upon the government to enact swift passage of my colleague's private member's bill, an act to eliminate poverty in Canada.
Canada Post
Routine Proceedings
10:15 a.m.
François Choquette Drummond, QC
Madam Speaker, I am very honoured to rise here today to present a petition on behalf of the people of L'Avenir, one of the municipalities in my riding. The people of L'Avenir are worried about the reduction of services at their post office. They all—or nearly all—signed this petition calling on the government to maintain services and to ensure continuity of service at the post office in the municipality of L'Avenir.
Having a post office is not a luxury. This service should be provided in all municipalities. It is very important in rural environments.
These people have banded together and signed the petition. The mayor of L'Avenir is working very hard to get a meeting with Canada Post in order to ensure that there are adequate services.
The petitioners are calling on the minister to take concrete measures to ensure that rural post offices stay where they are and that services are not reduced.
Search and Rescue
Routine Proceedings
10:20 a.m.
Jack Harris St. John's East, NL
Madam Speaker, I am proud to present yet another petition from residents mostly of Newfoundland and Labrador. These residents of Canada have grave concerns regarding the changes that are being made to the marine rescue coordination centre in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador. In fact, it is being closed.
The petitioners urge the government to acknowledge and understand that this closure will put lives at risk. Six hundred people per year are saved as a result of the work of this centre. It is responsible for 900,000 square kilometres of ocean and nearly 30,000 kilometres of coastline. The centre is staffed with a group of people who are very knowledgeable of the coastline, of weather and water conditions, and of the people themselves and the dialects they speak. It is important to them that this centre not be closed.
Questions on the Order Paper
Routine Proceedings
10:20 a.m.
Pitt Meadows—Maple Ridge—Mission
Randy Kamp Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans and for the Asia-Pacific Gateway
Madam Speaker, I ask that all questions be allowed to stand.
Questions on the Order Paper
Routine Proceedings
10:20 a.m.

For me, teaching and writing are inextricably linked. It is very difficult for me to imagine not doing both. I attended East Texas State University (now Texas A&M in Commerce) where I earned a B.A. in English and French in 1985 and an M.A. in English in 1995. I have taught at Eastfield College, Collin County Community College, and Texas A&M in Commerce. Between degrees I worked as a sacker in a grocery store and as a secretary, scheduler, technical writer, and janitor. I have also worked as a tutor, a recorder of textbooks for handicapped students, and as a security guard. No matter where I worked or what I did, one could almost always find me with a book and something to write with. Even before I knew that I should be a teacher, I found myself naturally drawn to explaining things either to others or to myself.
I spend much of my time with my wife and five children. I read as often as I can and write constantly. From time to time, one of my little compositions reaches publication. I post some of my work on my website and also keep a weblog. I am a very amateur musician and like to listen to mostly jazz and progressive rock. I watch basketball and hockey on television when I can.

Skip to comments.Christopher Dorner died of gunshot wound to the head which might have been self-inflicted
Posted on 02/15/2013 8:49:55 PM PST by Uncle Chip
Authorities say fugitive former cop Christopher Dorner died of a single gunshot wound to the head as authorities were pumping tear gas into a mountain cabin during a deadly gun battle with sheriff's deputies.
San Bernardino County sheriff's Capt. Sheriff John McMahon told reporters Friday that it appears the wound was self-inflicted.
Deputies said they heard one final gunshot from the cabin as it was going up in flames during Tuesday's gunbattle. Before he died, Dorner killed one sheriff's deputy and wounded another during a fierce shootout.
Authorities initially were unsure whether Dorner killed himself, had been struck by a deputy's bullet or had died in a fire that engulfed the cabin during the shootout.
(Excerpt) Read more at dailymail.co.uk ...
I'm sorry his gun didn't jam.
Damn, just damn...
Woulduh been better for him to burn at the stake....
A hero to the great majority of Americans.
He did after all shoot an unarmed women in the head.
Shrines to be built on the Bill Maher, CNN and Rachael Maddow sets.
The worthless scum died a cowards death. I would have rather he had burned alive, but this DUE PROCESS works just fine for me.
He accomplished his goals. He wanted to draw attention to what he said is racism at the LAPD. He wanted revenge for what he thought was an injustice. He wanted to kill some cops. And he did not want to give cops the pleasure of killing him.
One less POS that the tax payers will have to support.
What a picture it would have been to see that fatass racist screaming and running out of the cabin in a ball of fire.
About the reward....I would say that Dorner has been apprehended, tried and convicted by his peers, thanks to the two folks he tied up and who phoned in the tip. What the reward conditions didn't say was that he had to be alive.
He has eternity to burn.
I'm waiting for someone to claim he was on steroids & that's what made him flip out.
Now, now.
Let's don't offend the FR cop killer crowd. You jackbooted bullies.
Crazy Chris Dorner
Criminal apologists are mostly low IQ LIEberTARDians.
(grabs popcorn) This is going to be GREAT!
He would have spared many a lot of grief if he himself had been his first victim.
The criminal apologists are cowards just like Dorner.
"Alive" is implied, and a necessary condition of "arrest" and of "conviction."
It was disgusting, even seeing some of it here on Free Republic, and that was disturbing to me.
"He is a highly trained person with specialized training! They will never find him!"
"He was fighting against injustice in the LAPD!"
"He is miles away from them, probably laughing at them!"
"He has them right where he wants them!"
And so on.
In the end, he was just another deranged, violent liberal dipstick who killed innocent people then stumbled and tripped when the noose began tightening.
A 350 pound liberal a-hole who was going to truck around in Big Bear in the winter, covering his tracks in the snow, living under infra-red evading tarps, carrying cans of 50 cal sniper rife ammo with his Barrett slung over one shoulder and a manpad over the other, evading the law like Rambo, etc.
He was a stupid, fat, paranoid slob who didn't have the brainpower to figure out how to survive NORMALLY in a society created in the image of one HE advocated, if his idiotic "manifesto" was any indication. His "manifesto" was so lame it made The Unabomber's manifesto look intelligent by comparison.
Well, I give him credit. At least he had two brain cells to rub together which caused his finger trigger to contract while the gun was pointed at his own head.
I am still disconcerted by some of the sentiment I saw displayed on this very site.
It makes one wonder.
Well Dorner was alive when he came to a "rest" in the cabin and he was alive when he had enough "conviction" to pull the trigger.
13 times...
dead men tell no tales...
Well stated. Amazing how many so-called conservatives rushed to the defense of a liberal, murderous POS!
I have to agree. His manifesto was full of typos and grammar problems. He seemed very low IQ. I saw on DU how they were praising his intelligence. Obvious affirmative action thinking going on there.
There have been assertions about how tests used to measure various things from job suitability to intelligence are skewed by inherent racism in those tests. I don't believe that is primarily the case.
But if there were a test that measured "Media IQ" as imparted on a person by the media and liberalism, he would have a very high IQ by that standard, as twisted as it is.
His very ability to interpret his surroundings was indelibly impressed upon him by watching television like CNN, ABC, CBS and NBC, reading papers such as the NYT, Boston Globe and Washington Post and magazines such as Time and Newsweek, and by drinking in the elixir of liberalism that they have been brewing up since Woodrow Wilson was president.
I found the manifesto to be manifestly creepy in that way, the celebrity worship and cult of personality that it was rife with. There are a lot of people like him who are simply saturated with that.
And many of them want to go much further down the path of "Change" as exemplified by the radicals now in charge of the Democratic party.
I got the impression there were a number of people who really weren't thinking it through. And there were some who were on board with it even after looking at the whole situation.

At Mayo Clinic, we take the time to listen, to find answers and to provide you the best care.
Your doctor may conduct one or more of the following tests to determine whether you have carpal tunnel syndrome:
History of symptoms. Your doctor will review your symptoms. The pattern of your signs and symptoms may offer clues to their cause. For example, because the median nerve doesn't provide sensation to your little finger, symptoms in that finger may indicate a problem other than carpal tunnel syndrome.
Another clue is the timing of the symptoms. Usual times when you experience symptoms due to carpal tunnel syndrome include while holding a phone or a newspaper, gripping a steering wheel, or waking up during the night.
Physical examination. Your doctor will conduct a physical examination. He or she will test the feeling in your fingers and the strength of the muscles in your hand.
Pressure on the median nerve at the wrist, produced by bending the wrist, tapping on the nerve or simply pressing on the nerve, can bring on the symptoms in many people.
Your doctor may recommend that you see a doctor trained in brain and nervous system conditions (neurologist), brain and nervous system surgery (neurosurgeon), hand surgery, rheumatoid arthritis, or other areas if your signs or symptoms indicate other medical disorders or need additional treatment.

Market check: Index futures lean slightly lower and gold is flat at $1,462. European markets are lower as traders wrap up the biggest one-week gain in five months. The blue-chip Dow (DIA) enters Friday with a gain in four of five sessions while the S&P 500 (SPY) and Nasdaq Composite are up in five straight. We can't call it the "other" great rotation just yet, but the S&P 500′s health care (XLV) and consumer staples (XLP) sectors are down for the week — they're two of the three best performing S&P sectors this year. Meanwhile, the three weakest sectors of 2013, energy (XLE), materials (XLB) and technology (XLK), enter Friday with gains of roughly 3%-4.5% for the week.
Fund watch: Investors stepped back from U.S. stock funds in the week ending Apr. 24, according to Lipper. Equity funds reported net inflows of $1.072 billion, but domestic equity funds reported net outflows of $0.172 billion. International equity funds grabbed net inflows of $1.244 billion.

5th Panel Guest Art – Round 5
Back again for round 5 of 5th Panel Guest Art. Today's piece comes from @vindibudd who you can follow on Twitter HERE. A talented artist hailing from Orlando, Florida, A.S. Willliams is the driving force behind www.vindibudd.com as well as www.perrypenguin.com/. Though the Vindibudd comic has been on a hiatus for a while now, fret not, for it returns Sept. 9 with guns blazing. Feel free to stop by the STORE for t-shirts, stickers, and all kinds of sweet webcomic goodies. This 5th panel guest spot is in reference to a recent post entitled UNO!!!!. The joke continues on beautifully in Williams' addition with boy band references & high-flying, Bruce Lee martial arts. I love the depiction of Ron & Max. If you haven't already, you should check out the archives of Vindibudd before the big comeback on Sept. 9th. You'll thank yourself for catching up, and then hate yourself for not being able to experience reading the strip for the first time ever again. O_o

5th Panel Guest Art – Round 4
It's been a while since I posted some artwork from fellow webcomic artists, but we're back with another 5th Panel guest spot. For those of you not "in the know", this is an appreciative gesture given from one webcomic artist to another in the form of an extra panel to an already existing strip. It adds an extra dimension to the comic, and more often than not, makes it so much funnier. Today's post features 2 artists who I admire for their hard work and originality.
The first piece comes from a good friend, @thehathimself who you can follow HERE. He is one half of the team behind the The Hat And Fat, a wonderful strip starring the obliviously nightmarish Hat & his buddy Fat. Take the journey through their dark, kafka-esque world at their website http://thehatandfat.wordpress.com/. His 5th Panel guest spot is in reference to Wednesday's comic, entitled NSFT depicting an injury experienced during a marathon "Twerk-off". If you haven't already, you should check out The Hat & Fat. It's one of the most unique strips out there, and don't be surprised one day if you see them with lines around the corner at their convention booths.
The second piece comes from another good friend Axton Kahler who you can follow on Twitter @ZombieOaks. He is the main mind behind the Zombie Oaks webcomic which you can find HERE. His strip chronicles the gradual de-evolution of his main character George into a full blown zombie. It's a witty strip full of clever movie references, and drawn in an unmistakably original style. Keep pace with Axton on his website, as he is slated to release his book in the nigh future. His 5th panel guest spot is in reference to the strip entitled Canine Roast. His depiction of Cheat Code is fantatstic. Click on the image below to see it in it's full glory.
If you'd like to join in, contact any of the artists associated with the #5thpanelguest hashtag on twitter.
5th Panel Guest Art – Round 3
5thPanelGuest art is definitely starting to pick up a little steam in the webcomic community, and rightfully so. It connects artists together on a much more personal level. Today's artwork comes from one of the most active participants in the #5thpanelguest concept, Axton Kahler, the driving force behind the ZombieOaksComic.com. You can follow him on his Twitter feed HERE. His submission is an add-on panel to one of the most recent Rain Dogs strips, titled "Tastes Like Metal". His depiction of Ronnie James Dio is fantastic. Shower him with praise. If you'd like to join in contact any of the artists associated with the #5thpanelguest hashtag on twitter.
5th Panel Guest Art – Round 2
Once again, Rain Dogs is visited by the 5th Panel Guest art Easter bunny to deliver two delicious, painted eggs of pure joy that you, the reader, are lucky enough to witness. To recap from last time, 5th Panel Guest artwork, collected under the #5thPanelGuest Twitter hashtag, allows for one artist to throw in an additional panel or two into a specific strip of another artist. Two entries come at you today from two very talented artists.
The first piece comes from @jessekiefer who you can follow HERE. He is the driving force behind Tank Monkey and Just For Kicks. Jesse has been Johnny-on-the-spot with collecting all of the #5thPanelGuest artwork and you can find all of the ones made so far by Clicking Here. His piece is an additional panel referencing the latest strip titled, "Cooking". His interpretation of the characters are exactly why I love the comic community. It's a unique feeling when someone interprets your artwork in their own way adding their flavor. The linework is fantastic and the character portrayal is absolutely professional.
The second piece comes from the very skilled @Trinity_Mathews who you can follow HERE. You can find his artwork beautifully displayed oh his DeviantArt Page. His piece is shown below as an additional panel for a recent strip titled, "The Cats Are Evolving". His use of color is truly masterful and the dialogue is dead on. I would've never though in a million years to take a strip in a mystical direction, but Trinity did it effortlessly in just one panel. He truly ran with the #5thpanelguest idea. Keep a look out for his site to be launched in the near future.

Founded in 1960, Redken Laboratories is the brainchild of actress Paula Kent and her hair stylist Jheri Redding (Get it? Red-ken). Redken started with only 3 hair care products and expanded rapidly by inventing their patented Interbonding Conditioning System and 3D Repair Complex, the start of beauty powered by science.
Real Control Is AmazingI used to use the Redken "Smooth Down" line but decided to give the Real Control line a shot when it came out. I liked the Smooth Down but I LOVE Real Control. It's GREAT for really dry, coarse hair. I use the shampoo, conditioner, intense renewal mask (~1x per week)and the Crema Care leave in conditioner. These products are fantastic and I would highly recommend them for extra dry hair like mine.Dec 22, 2009Crystal / IL

My New Fave!Ok so I've been using Aveda's Smooth Infusion line, which i thought was the best ever, but found it causing me dandruff. So, i tried Moisture Maniac by Bed Head despite some mixed reviews. Thought it was awesome. But then my hair stylist used Real Control on me and wow! Don't want to try anything else because this shampoo and conditioner is the best! My hair is course and now so soft and shiny. This stuff is so amazing and my hair has never been this frizz free ever! You just have to make sure you have the hair type it says its for on the bottle so your hair can look like it should :)Dec 10, 2009BeeHAIR TYPEDry Hair

Excellent Product--for Real (pun Intended)I have double processed hair and have tried so many different products. From low end to very high end brands, nothing compares to this product. Usually, if I shower at night, by morning my hair is heavy and flat. But with this product, it's bouncy and soft even after I've slept on it! I've gotten the best blowdry after using this product--sexy bounce, silky shine and oh-so-soft to touch. I'm usually too lazy to write reviews but this one really deserves praise. I bought this based on Vendetta's review and can't thank her enough for writing this recommendation!Nov 3, 2009Reviewer / Costa Mesa, CA

Several months ago a my hair was severly damage and broken off, Ive tried every product on the market that says it will fix damaged hair and this really does it. Although it doesnt work over night and you need to use the whole line, it is WONDERFUL! I recommend this to everyone!Feb 27, 2009Vendetta / Indiana

Henrik Sedin apologizes for being Swedish, shouldn't have to
Cam Charron
March 23 2012 12:29PM
"You're kidding me," Don Cherry once said of the player that the Toronto Maple Leafs traded Wendel Clark for back in 1994. "I hope somebody's kidding me that you would trade Clark for Mats Sundin."
You'd like to think those sorts of attitudes have receded with the passage of time. As players like Lidstrom and Chara have proven that Europeans can play tough hockey and captain NHL teams to Stanley Cup glory, you'd think such attitudes would start to become extinct. At least that's what you'd hope. Tony Gallagher, however, went full Don Cherry in his Canuck Hat-Trick post from Wednesday morning, and you should never go full Don Cherry. "Is this guy supposed to be a banger or a Euro?" What an unconventional way to lead off a thought.
The antiquated meme that Canadians are tough guys while Europeans are weaklings who grew up wanting Olympic Glory and don't care about hoisting the cup is still prevalent in old-school hockey circles. But Cherry's weekly rants that lend only credibility and showcase the positive play of a few Canadians who still play the old school way that Cherry learned in the 1970s is one thing, a columnist for a newspaper writing these actual words and sending them to an editor, who published the piece online, is quite another.
This archaic mindset doesn't escape the notice of Europeans playing in the league. After Henrik Sedin saw his brother get smoked by Duncan Keith with a vicious elbow to the face later that day, you could tell Henrik was frustrated with the way that the story was likely to get spun in the Chicago or national newspapers.
"You have to ask Keith," said Henrik about words that may have been exchanged prior to the collision. "He's a tough Canadian guy, so I am sure he is going to be honest."
"They are tough team over there and we're the diving bunch so I guess there's not much to say about that."
The Canucks do dive, certainly. But so do the Blackhawks, and every team down the NHL's alphabetical food chain from Anaheim to Winnipeg. Diving and Jerkpuck techniques are not restricted to any one nationality, race, sexual orientation or franchise. It happens, sadly. It's part of the game.
"He has to act bigger," wrote the Chicago Tribune's Steve Rosenbloom, as if almost right on cue. "He's a Hakws leader. Leaders can't lose like that."
Hockey's political thought leader until about five years ago was never taken by Sundin in a Leafs jersey, even as Sundin surpassed George Armstrong, Ron Ellis, Dave Keon and Darryl Sittler on his way to being the highest scorer ever in the history of the franchise. Sundin was the centrepiece on some terrific (and tough) Leafs' teams in the late-90s and early 00s, leading the team in playoff scoring five times in eight runs in Toronto.
But to Cherry, it wasn't good enough. You still need a good Canadian captain who can win you a Stanley Cup, and don't think this didn't affect perception of Sundin. The article linked above mentions that while Doug Gilmour and Curtis Joseph would have piles of autographed merchandise sold by Frozen Pond, a well-established memorabilia company, Mats Sundin didn't move enough gear to even qualify as a distant third.
In that story, Pat Quinn, former Leafs and Canucks coach, is quoted as saying "I think we as Canadians sometimes put an extra rung on the ladder that guys that weren't Canadian had to climb to become loved by us."
Even as Henrik and Daniel Sedin won back-to-back Art Ross Trophies, it still seems as if the new Canuck captain has to apologize for his game. Vancouver writers are still determined to write that the aggression of their opponent "was a crucial element in the Bruins' seven-game win in the Stanley Cup final," as if it wasn't the awful powerplay or Tim Thomas' .967 save percentage in the series.
"Admittedly, that's an oversimplification," suggests the writer. You think? It's just like when an Edmonton commentator proclaimed that the Canucks kept drafting Danes and Swedes, and that somehow explained why they lost to a team in the finals to a team that had a Vancouver kid on the roster.
You'd hope that the insider hockey experts would do something more than feed off emotion, since their judgments about players do impact fan perception of particular players, and of the game itself. Sometimes you hope that these guys do more than look at a birth certificate when evaluating a hockey player's ability to win in the post-season.
Daniel Sedin, after all, does have more Stanley Cup Finals goals than Keith's teammate, Conn Smythe Winner and unquestioned team leader Jonathan Toews. Does that matter? No, but it's something you don't often hear because it's a fact that doesn't perfectly integrate with the bullshit, nativist arguments that are too often brandished when the discussion turns to European NHLers.
One of the greatest displays of courage I've ever seen in hockey was a stitched up Borje Salming coming back to play after being repeatedly run and bloodied by the Flyers. Even they stopped all the "chicken Swede" stuff after that and actually showed him some respect. Somehow I don't see the Hawks or the Bruins ever doing that. So I guess things have actually gotten worse. Hockey is even more racist than it was in the high goon days of the 1970s. Pretty sad, but it only underlines the class of players like the Sedins.
Great article. It's a shame the way many media members ignore facts to push a narrative. It's even more of a shame that the narrative somehow becomes fact.
'If you can play, you can play.'
I am Canadian. And the player I most admire in the league is Henrik Sedin.
It drives me nuts how some commentators act like there is only one RIGHT way to play (implying the tough, Canadian way). I don't know how many times I've heard talk that the Sedins don't hit enough and aren't aggressive enough, and therefore they are somehow deficient. Does Pavel Datsyuk hit? Is he aggressive?
The twins are excellent players, and it's about time that the old school guys drop the stereotypes and assumptions about playing in this league.
I agree with your article 100%. I've found in the last couple of years that you find more unbiased reporting on blogs and posts that you read on-line. I used to listen to nothing but Vancouver sports radio, now I can only stand it for a few hours a day and that's only when you get people who are hosting who don't spend their whole show digging and scratching to find anything to bash our hometown team. There are honestly times when I turn on the radio and wonder whether I've tuned into Chicago or Bostons' airwaves. Vancouver Canucks, there captain, their players, etc. get slammed for anything and everything they do or don't do from media all over North America and the players are always made aware of it when there is a camera on them and a mike in their face, so it is impossible for them to ignore it even if they say they do. Then they come home and it's sometimes worse here than anywhere else. Just where exactly are the players supposed to get the pats on the backs and the encouragement they deserve when they deserve it? For sh*ts sake it's not like they're the Maple Leafs or Columbus, then the constant critizism and nit picking would be deserved but this is ridiculous. So they haven't won a cup yet, so does that mean they only get the positive media attention when that happens? Well guess what, there's a more than 90% they won't be doing it year after year after year, this isn't the 70's and 80's. So how about some encouragement and acknowledgement for the captain and the team for all the years that they keep at least getting us there and giving us fans some exciting extra weeks of hockey in the meantime until that day finally comes. There are an awful lot of fan bases (and some with Canadian captains no less) who don't even get that year after year. It's time for us to show how much we appreciate them at least giving us that chance to hope until the time comes that they reach that ultimate goal.
March 23 2012, 01:23PM
I think they get European hockey players confused with European soccer players.
I saw the Steve Rosenbloom artical that you quoted from and I have to say that I was so frustrated by it that I have had trouble formulating my reactions let alone articulating them. The Tribune headline on the artical was "Even Against a Sedin, That's A Suspension Duncan". Even against a Sedin. I am absolutely gobsmacked (to use a British expression) by the thought process behind that concept. Even against Jonathan Toews. Even against Steven Stamkos. Even against Sidney Crosby. The Sedins have produced wonderful, long, honest and constantly productive careers even in the face of such monumental ignorance as this. Our local press is as hard on the home team as any press in the sport but I cannot imagine even the most curmudgeonly of our hometown scribes, the irrepressibly negative Tony Gallagher, saying something like that. As I say, I am so disturbed by this line of thinking that I can't even express my disapproval strongly enough. It shames the spirit of the game, the players and the media who comment on the sport that any individual, no matter how ill informed or ignorant, would actually verbalize such a concept.
"You're kidding me," Don Cherry once said of the player that the Toronto Maple Leafs traded Wendel Clark for back in 1994. "I hope somebody's kidding me that you would trade Clark for Mats Sundin."
They just traded the captain that just helped lead them to back to back conference finals. I'm fairly certain most leaf fans felt the exact same way.
Toews has 15 goals in 46 playoff games (0.33 a game). Daniel has 23 in 90 games (0.26 a game). Both Dunc and Toews have more Stanley Cups. Hawks have plenty of Europena players. Stop trying to make up an arguement that doesn't exist in Chicago.
March 23 2012, 02:54PM
@#7 Andy WTF does that even mean? This isn't a Chicago article. You're on the wrong board. Did you even read this? Or do you just go around and post the same crap on every Canucks or non-Hawks board?
what a surprise, canadians like canadian players more than americian or europeans! as i'm sure americians like americian players more than any other, etc.
when the olympics rolled into town, we weren't cheering for any other team besides canada, so why wouldn't we like canadian players more than others, in the NHL? how is this so far fetched of an idea?
i know those of you caucasians, canadians have never felt like a minority where they have to out work others to gain the respect others but this isn't something NEW! stop crying and suck it up sunshine
I dont apologize for prefering Canadian hockey players over European players, in a very broad & general sense.
Im not gonna pretend that it doesn't bother me to see quality BC born players like Shea Weber, Jamie Benn & Milan Lucic passed up by the local club, only to go on to NHL stardom.
Im not gonna hide my excitement about the prospect of Justin Schultz, a local kid ive read about on this site, joining the Canucks.
I like Canadian players. So what. Even more, I like BC born players. So what. I still wouldn't trade a Sedin, and ill still jump outta my seat and high 5 my buddies anytime Alex Edler decides to go end-to-end.
Let me put it to you this way Cam - The only way I would wear a European players jersey (sweater) is if its Canucks. And the only way id wear a sweater from another team would be if it was a Canadian players name on the back - ala Martin St.Louis. (except truthfully i would never wear another teams sweater period.)
Hank is still a boss. F*** Duncan Keith.
excellent article
I agree with what you said regarding the old school mentality and how theres no place for it anymore. There are certainly canadians who are not tough or leaders playing in the nhl. That being said as a canucks fan you want to see cups come to your city. Did not happen with sundin, and has yet to happen with the other swede who is currently wearing the C. Toews has a cup ring. I am sure daniel would rather have the cup above his head than have the playoff scoring title...at least thats what any canadian kidswould want.
@#14 adam
It's also yet to happen with any Canadian wearing the 'C'.
And, honestly, does anyone actually think that the Blackhawks won the Cup solely by virtue of having a Canadian captain? Last year neither team had a North American Captain and to get to the finals, they defeated teams with Canadian captains.
Great article, Cam. And you're right, Henrik shouldn't have to apologize. But those who feed the BS narrative regarding European NHLers should.

Around the league - Jan 14, 2010
Jason Gregor
January 14 2010 09:24AM
It's been a few weeks since I've penned ATL and some interesting and surprising things have occurred in the hockey world.
In Canada, the announcement of the Olympic men's hockey team was debated heavily. I was surprised to read that the biggest outcry, outside of Flames fans moaning about the exclusion of all of their big-three D-men, was that Mike Green didn't make the team.
Many said he was the best offensive D-man, especially as the quarterback on the powerplay. Green is a great on the powerplay and in the offensive zone, and his 46 points is tops amongst D-men. But he has 22 points on the PP, while Drew Doughty has 20 PP points for the Kings. Dan Boyle has 19, Pronger 16, Niedermayer 15, Weber 14, Keith 11 and Seabrook has six.
The Capitals have scored 43 PP goals and Green has been in on 51% of their PP goals. The Kings have 36 PP goals and Doughty has been in on 55% of them. Green plays with Alex Ovechkin, Alex Semin and Nick Backstrom on the PP, while Doughty has Anze Kopitar, Alex Frolov and when healthy Jarret Stoll and Ryan Smyth.
I like Green, but few realize how good Doughty is. His defensive game is much better than Green's and when you look at his offence on the powerplay, don't be surprised to see Doughty on the PP at times in the Olympics.
I was surprised Jay Bouwmeester didn't make it, but his lack of playoff experience was probably the deciding factor. The only year he's ever played in the playoffs was during the lockout when he played 18 games with the Chicago Wolves and registered ZERO points. In seven NHL seasons and three WHL seasons he hasn't played in the postseason, and I have to think that was a major reason he was excluded. Not to mention no points in 18 AHL playoff games.
I'm still stunned that Patrice Bergeron made the team, but clearly Yzerman and company had good reason to choose him; I just don't see it. His broken thumb should only keep him out another week, so barring another injury he will be in Vancouver on the 15th of February.
In the NHL Micheal Leighton is playing out of his mind in Philadelphia. He is 8-0-1 with the Flyers (although he was pulled v. Ottawa but got a no decision) and has a 2.22 GAA and a .925 SV%. I'd be stunned if he kept it up because prior to this season he'd never won more than six games and has been mostly a minor leaguer. With Ray Emery set to return the Flyers have to waive Leighton or Boucher. I think Peter Laviolette's best option right now is to play Leighton until he comes back to reality.
Before Christmas the LA Kings were four points behind San Jose in the Pacific division and comfortably in the playoffs. Three weeks later they are 14 points behind them and precariously close to falling out of the playoffs with the Red Wings a point behind while the surging Wild is only two back. The Kings might need a shake up... Souray anyone?
Ice women of the week
Here is a photo that should cover everyone's taste; Ginger, blonde, brunette and dark hair. The Panthers actually have 21 ice dancers, and they need all of them to keep the fans entertained because once again it looks like the Panthers won't make the playoffs.

Random thoughts
Can you name the four first overall picks that won the Calder Trophy and are now in the Hall of Fame? (answer at bottom)
- I believe that Stephane Auger said something close to what Alexandre Burrows accused him of, but I'm more interested in what the league, or more importantly director of officiating Terry Gregson, said to Auger. I doubt we will ever know, but when the playoff assignments are handed out if Auger is there I'd be stunned. This was a case of he said he said, so it would have been impossible to convict Auger, but I doubt Burrows' fabricated the entire story, so the league can quietly punish Auger by not giving him any playoff games. We'll find out in April.
- Blues new head coach, Davis Payne, seemed like a surprise choice until you looked at his resume. In seven seasons in the ECHL he compiled an impressive 289-142-45 record. He won a Kelly Cup Championship in 2006, and became only the second coach in ECHL history to get his team to the final four in three consecutive seasons. He's paid his dues. And under the "did you know file": The Oilers drafted him 140th overall in 1989. He ended up playing 22 games for Bruins over two seasons and registered one assist.
- The Flames have scored more than three goals only once in their last 21 games. I don't see them going anywhere in the playoffs if they can't score. Only Phoenix has scored fewer goals amongst western playoff teams. I know the Flames rely on the defensive zone coverage and goaltending to win, but if they can't score they won't be able to shut down Chicago or San Jose and the Avalanche own them. Darryl Sutter has to be looking for some offence in the next six weeks, and if he wants a true scorer he might have to dangle Phaneuf or Regehr.
- Currently Carolina is the only Eastern organization that has never had a first overall pick in the NHL entry draft. But Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver, San Jose, Anaheim, Minnesota and Nashville have yet to have the first pick. The Oilers could become the first western Canadian team to have the first pick this summer.
- Colorado, Phoenix, Dallas and New Jersey haven't had the first pick in their current city but the Nordiques, Jets, North Stars and Rockies did.
- The Kings have had one first overall pick and he was a bust. They chose Rick Pagnutti in 1967, and he never played a game in the NHL.
- In the last 20 years the only first picks that became busts were Alexandre Daigle (1993) and Patrick Stefan (1999). Some might argue that Rick DiPietro is a bust, but injuries have been his demise.
- Henrik Sedin is the leading candidate to win the Hart trophy and that could be the biggest surprise of the season. If you asked any hockey fan, media member, player, coach or GM to submit a list of their ten favourites to win at the start of the season I doubt he would have been on anyone's list. Up until this season it was always Henrik and Daniel, rarely did you talk about one without the other. But Henrik's play has everyone's attention and I'm stunned how well he has played.
- The Anaheim Ducks have inquired about Ethan Moreau. They have won five straight and are only four points behind the 8th place Kings. The Ducks have room to add Moreau's salary which today would roughly be an $860,000 cap hit. It isn't imminent but the Ducks have made some calls.

Final Points
There are only three teams who look completely out of the race today; Oilers, Hurricanes and Leafs. The Blues and Blue Jackets are on the edge, but the rest of the non-playoff teams are only four points out. With so many teams still in the hunt, you have to think Jim Rutherford, Steve Tambellini and Brian Burke are fielding lots of calls. It sounds like we might see some trades prior to the Olympic break, so the players will get some extra practice days before the NHL resumes in March.
I don't want answers in the posts today, but I'm curious what your expectations are from a reporter/media member/blogger in ethical situations. Think about it, remember the question and I will let you know why in a week or so.
January 14 2010, 03:00PM
Is Emilio Estevez still with the Ducks? Maybe we could get him for Moreau?
I would rather we ask for Joshua Jackson. He is a good Canadian boy and comes across tough as nails on Fringe. He really ripped it up for the Ducks. MVP type season.

Kelli or Simona. Either one for me. Man I love ATL.
@Jason - What do you mean by "ethical situations".
January 14 2010, 03:33PM
Pretty sure it's because this article is on flamesnation and nucksnation or army or whatever their sites are called.
Oh ok that makes sense, Thanks for clearin.
January 14 2010, 03:39PM
I went to school with Mike Leighton is Sarnia ON. He wasn't the smartest guy, but he was the best at every sport. I really believe he would have been a great player rather than a goalie.
When there are a couple of thousand empty seats on a regular basis, do you think Katz sees that as an indication that this team needs a new identity from top to bottom. But since those empties are technically paid for does he even care?
January 14 2010, 05:44PM
We should be going after Gunnar Staal. I think he has something to prove after losing in the finals, and could be had as a free agent. I still think he should've gone blocker side.
Gunnar Staal has no defensive game, but we could use the size and "crust"
and you're right, Connie knew he was going glove
January 14 2010, 05:48PM
I'm really curious how people take Tambellini's inactivity as a sign he's a puppet.
Why would Lowe being in control = Tambellini doing nothing?
Lowe was a wheeler and dealer, the guy made a pile of moves.
If anything the inactivity is a sign that it is in fact Tambellini in control.
Good point
January 14 2010, 10:52PM
Nuts to that. We need Banks. Hell the Oil could even unretire #99 and give it to him.
@postal - yeah I don't know but I'm glad there are empty seats. I'm not buying any more tickets or PPV's and my merchandise will be kept to an absolute minimum. I'm trying to do my part in boycotting the current Oil regime.
I think it's unethical of you to ask us to remember a question for over a week. We are after all children of the Internet era and therefore have the attention spans of an easily distracted Gnat. Just sayin'...
Jason asked a question ? I'm still at the Ice Girls pic. And btw, where is all this talk about Moreau and Anaheim coming from ? ;o)

Osternig. xix, 196 leaves A print copy of this title is available through the UO Libraries under the call number: SCIENCE RD561 .F47 2001 The purpose of this study was to investigate the gait patterns in persons with chronic ACL deficiency (ACLD: n = 10) who subsequently undergo surgical repair, and to determine how these individuals respond to an unexpected forward perturbations (FP) compared to healthy controls (n = 10). An unexpected FP was applied using a moveable force plate imbedded in a walkway. During nonperturbed (NP) gait, ACLD subjects exhibited similar knee moment patterns compared to healthy adults but appeared to accommodate to ACLD through alterations of hip and ankle joint kinematic, kinetic, and muscle power patterns. Three months following surgery, these same subjects demonstrated a significantly different knee moment pattern and were significantly more flexed at the knee and hip during NP gait. These data suggest that time since injury plays an important role in the adaptation of gait mechanics and must be considered when evaluating post-surgical ACL subjects. These data also suggest that ACL surgery significantly alters lower extremity gait patterns and that the re-establishment of pre-injury gait patterns takes longer than 3 months to occur. When healthy adults experienced an unexpected FP, the hip was favored in maintaining control of the upper body and in preventing collapse. In response to the same FP, ACLD subjects demonstrated a hip moment pattern similar to controls but a greater knee extensor moment. The increased knee moment pattern was more prevalent 3 months following surgery. These data suggest that ACLD and ACLR subjects rely more on knee extensor muscles for the prevention of collapse when reacting to an unexpected FP. Bilateral accommodations to ACL injury and surgery during NP and FP gait were also examined. During NP gait, healthy adults demonstrated asymmetrical hip moment and power patterns whereas ACLD and ACLR subjects exhibited symmetrical hip but asymmetrical knee mechanics. In response to the FP, healthy adults exhibited lower extremity joint symmetry but the ACLD and ACLR group exhibited asymmetrical knee moment and power patterns. These findings suggest that ACL injury and surgery result in bilateral joint accommodations and that when investigating ACL injured populations, bilateral control population data should be used in addition to non-injured limb data. 6806291 bytes 1473 bytes 286070 bytes 312893 bytes application/pdf text/plain text/plain text/plain en_US University of Oregon University of Oregon theses, Dept. of Exercise and Movement Science, Ph.

Firefighters Battle Barn Fire
An early morning fire in Outlook destroys a small barn and kills several calves.
It happened around 2:30 this morning near the 2600 block of Gurley Road -- firefighters say the barn was fully engulfed in flames by the time they arrived- they were able to knock down the fire in a matter of minutes.
Firefighters believe the fire started from two heat lamps that were used to keep the owner's cows warm.
The tenants say at least 4 calves were lost in that fire.
"They were already basically burnt by the time we got out there to let them out," said Joanna Uribe, "So the ones that we were able to save -- who actually my cousins were able to save -- they let them out, and the cows ran out."
The total loss of the barn is estimated at about 6 thousand dollars

Now that Yuna has performed her free skate (link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ye0u0lM9IP4), it's clear Worlds 2013 will be about Kim vs. Asada, with Wagner a strong podium contender (though Suzuki could knock her off).
As for Sochi, it's too far out to say. I personally would wait until Worlds to declare anything, but with the Russian wonderbabies underwhelming recently, it might be another Kim vs. Asada battle all over again.
What do people think regarding Leonova's chances? I know she had a terrible GP season, but the young girls have failed to deliver what a lot of people thought they were going to, and I think she might still be Russian #1 in 2014.
Lol at some technical frailties for Mao. She has no triple lutz or barely a flip she urs almost every jump sometimes but jumps are irrelevant with her pcs. she definitely no longer has triple axel ability and barely most jumps that are triples. She is atrocious but the whole idea of the thread is possible with triples really being irrelevant.
Last edited by gmyers; 12-09-2012 at 02:53 PM.
For example, I didn't really expect Yuna to score 200+ points but she did!!! (congrats for her )
I would much consider the battle for the gold medal : Kim Vs Osmond
Osmond could have be the «it» factor this year if she could have competed at NHK Trophy 2012 and she could have easily beat Mao Asada at the Grand Prix Final.
Look at those score at Skate Canada Challenge (5-9 december) that Kaetlyn Osmond earn:
Kaetlyn is definately able to win Sochi, she is very consistent and artistry
Kaetlyn is NEVER going to receive those PCS scores (at least this season) among Kim, Mao, and Ashley...!!
Even Browning is a huge Osmond fan and feels it was obvious she was not wanted at the final. She really might have won, or pushed Akiko off the podium. Will someone please post ashley's injury? How bad is it?
I notice that Mao Asada and Kim Yu-Na in their first year Senior have also received high mark in PCS scores in 2007. Why not Kaetlyn, she is truly talented like Yu-Na and Mao in my opinion. She could definately be on the podium at world this year. Watch out!
Julia might be able to win in Sochi before she really has to deal with the worst of the puberty monster, sort of like Lipinski or Meissner winning Worlds in 06. Leonova and Sotnikova are looking headcase-y now but that could change. Tuk is still landing 7 triple FS even while dealing with puberty monster so if she can cope that well now, she might be even stronger by next season and if she has adjusted and looks more grown-up and less awkward out there, her PCS could improve. Russia will surely have a strong team to send to the Olympics, it might not be the girls we expect to make the team, but there are just so many good skaters to pick from, even if things continue the way they are for the favorites, some other girl will rise to the challenge and go instead. I mean look at that girl Pogorilaya, she came out of nowhere and each competition she gets better, her 2nd GP she increased her score 15 points from her first, then she just won bronze at JGPF with a score 8 points higher than her 2nd JGP, almost 170 total. PCS went from 42 to 50 in a few weeks, she keeps jumping this way they will just get higher. She can do 3lz-3t and 2a-3t, last season she was 13th at Junior Nationals. She is 14 like Julia, puberty monster might not be an issue until after Sochi. She is just one example, this kind of ascent isn't even unusual in Russian ladies these days.
Kim has big PCS but her FS jump layout isn't even that ambitious, and she usually makes mistakes. I think it would be fairly easy for a Russian lady, or someone else, to outjump her enough to make up for the PCS deficit and win. Mao's content is currently really weak and her PCS aren't even as strong as Kim. Same for Carolina if she ends up coming back. Boosting the PCS of some jumping bean is not that difficult if they show a consistent ability to land hard jumps consistently. Not anyone can get PCS of like 66-68 like Mao or Yuna, but with consistent jumping, 60 is possible for pretty much any decent skater who can land difficult jumps consistently. It happened for Mirai at 2010 Olympics, it's happening for Gracie and Kaitlyn now. Yuna and Mao could still be a factor, but it's in no way a done deal.

I love them so much I bought 2 pairs
"These are a must have. I bought the green and black pair for Easter and received so many compliments that I just had to go back for the tan and blue pair (found in stores). They are comforable unless standing for a long period of time. I usually only wear flats and comfortable heels to work. These I wore to work and will continue to do so."

Beautiful but beware!!
"I was so happy when the shoes arrived, they are absolutely beautiful. I received so many compliments when I wore them. They fit true to size but there is one problem: the very back of the shoe rubs on the Achilles and it hurts!! I had blisters almost instantly. I would recommend band-aids before to protect the skin in this area. Otherwise, very happy with the purchase!"

I can't wait until the summer, so I can where these gorgeous shoes. The picture says it all. I ordered them online and they came and looked like the ones in the photograph.

Springfield officials have reached a settlement with Columbia Gas Company related to last November's natural gas explosion that heavily damaged a section of the city's downtown.
Columbia Gas will pay $650,000 to cover the costs of public safety personnel responding to the November 23rd, 2012 blast, as well as damage to city property.
"Streets, sidewalks…any type of water mains or public utilities that run under the road there, " says Jim Leydon, a spokesperson for Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno.
Leydon says the city will get an additional $200,000 from the utility's foundation to help develop a revitalization plan for the affected area.
"It's the first step in a process that the city will take in how to utilize the space down there to determine the best use…of some of the land and move forward accordingly," he says.
One building was completely leveled. Several others were damaged beyond repair, and as many as two dozen other structures within a 3-block radius of the explosion sustained damage, including shattered windows. There were no fatalities, but 18 people, many of them first responders, were injured.
A spokesperson for Columbia Gas says while talks between the utility and some affected residents and businesses are still ongoing, the vast majority of claims from the explosion have been settled.

Cade Whittle, Emery High School junior, was Judge for a Day on May 2. Whittle entered an essay contest recently which was centered around 2006 Law Day and won the opportunity to tour Emery County's Sheriff's Office, Courthouse and Detention Center. Law Day was May 1, and each of the judicial districts throughout the state participated.
The theme of the contest was Liberty Under Law: Separate Branches-Balanced Powers, and focused on how the branches have their separate spheres and separate powers, but work together for the common good.
Whittle also had the opportunity to meet Judge George Harmond of the Seventh Judicial District, and watch and listen as Judge Harmond passed down rulings from the bench. Hoping for a future as a lawyer, Whittle was looking forward to learn just how accurate TV shows are.
"It was pretty cool. It was a law and motion day, so the court docket was mostly scheduling trials and other things. I want a future in law," said Whittle.
