The economic ripple effect of domestic and family violence
When we think of domestic violence, we often think of it as someone else's problem. But in the overall picture, the ripple effect costs everyone. Examples of some of the expenses related to intimate partner violence (IPV) include unpaid medical bills, foster care, lost productivity for employers, increased medical premiums, child protection services, food banks, shelters, housing assistance, religious organizations, therapists for victims and court ordered counseling for perpetrators, lawyers, judges, and victim advocates, prisons, police and probation officers. Unfortunately many efforts are reactionary rather than proactive.
While it's difficult to put a dollar amount on domestic violence, there are estimates. According to the Center for Disease Control, the costs of intimate partner rape, physical assault, and stalking exceed $5.8 billion each year, nearly $4.1 billion of which is for direct medical and mental health care services. The total cost of it also includes nearly $1 billion in lost productivity from paid work and household chores for victims of nonfatal partner abuse and almost $1 billion in lifetime earnings lost by victims of domestic violence homicide. The largest proportion of the costs comes from physical assault because that is the most prevalent. The largest component of domestic violence costs is health care, which accounts for more than two-thirds of the total costs. Because some data is unavailable or insufficient, (e.g., certain medical services, social services, criminal justice services), costs in the report by the CDC are likely to underestimate the problem in the U.S. but they can show the magnitude of it and its impact on our economy.
There is a need for primary prevention - preventing domestic and family violence from occurring in the first place - rather than focusing only on treating victims and rehabilitating perpetrators after abuse has occurred. The CDC has identified several key areas of research for prevention. They include learning how to change social norms that accept intimate partner violence; developing programs for perpetrators and potential perpetrators; increasing our understanding of how violent behaviors toward intimate partners develop; improving collection of data and its health effects; developing and evaluating training programs for health professionals; and implementing strategies that work to prevent it. Knowledge of the laws and possible consequences of domestic violence is another step toward prevention. Until we reduce the incidence of domestic violence in the United States, we will not reduce the economic and social burden to each and every one of us. When we think of it in these terms, perhaps it is "our problem too."
Thelma Soares is the mother of Lori Hacking. She will be the Emery County Domestic Violence Coalition's guest speaker this year for their annual community awareness program. The program will be held on Nov. 4 from 12-1 p.m. at the old court house in Castle Dale. Lunch will be provided by the Coalition. There is no fee and everyone is welcome to attend.
Most of us remember Lori's tragic death which occurred in July of 2004. Lori was married to Mark Hacking and they were expecting their first child. She was 27 years old when she disappeared and was reported missing by her husband. The search for Lori earned national attention before Mark eventually confessed to the murder. He had lied to Lori and her family about graduating from the University of Utah and being accepted into medical school in North Carolina. Lori graduated cum laude from the University of Utah business school in 1999 with a bachelor's degree in management. She worked at American Express and later at Wells Fargo. One of Lori's professors said she was a gentle person of high integrity and compassion. Another stated she was dedicated to continuous learning and service. Lori had accomplished much in her life and was looking forward to her future.
Lori died as a result of the ultimate domestic violence act. Her death reminds us of the possible lethal consequences of family violence. In 2008, 22 victims of family violence died in Utah at the hands of those they loved and trusted.
Thelma will speak about her experience in coping with Lori's death and the affects on her family, community, and country. Her story is compelling and heartfelt.
Thelma was born and raised in Delta, Utah, and graduated from Brigham Young University with a degree in business education and office management and a Utah secondary teaching credential. Upon graduation, Thelma left for Brazil where she lived two years serving as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, becoming fluent in Portuguese.
She later worked for the Foreign Language League and lived one summer in Paris, France, managing their office in that city. After marrying, Thelma moved to Southern California where she attended Cal State LA and UCLA, earning a California secondary teaching credential. Thelma taught English and English as a Second Language there. In 1988 she returned to Utah and worked 20 years for LDS Philanthropies-BYU, retiring in September, 2008.
Please join us for our Nov. 4 program. If you would like more information on domestic violence, call Kathy at 381-4743.

Harper: For jury duty, the verdict is not bad
Just in time for Christmas, I received $50 from the state unclaimed property division. You may recall that in October I mentioned I had submitted a claim, so it was about a two-month process to get the funds. If you have not searched for yourself, go to claimit.ca.gov and see if there is any unclaimed money waiting for you or your friends. For my previous article about unclaimed property, here is the link www.ocregister.com/news/unclaimed-375450-property-money.html
Last week I had the privilege of serving on a jury trial which lasted three days. Many people dislike jury duty because it is inconvenient and you have to take time out of an already busy schedule, but I view it as my civic duty. If the date is a problem then you can postpone to a more convenient date.
In Orange County, your jury service is one day or one trial per year, but only if you are summoned to serve. I usually get a notice about once every three years. Prospective juror names are obtained from voter registration and DMV records. I had to call in each day for a week to see if I needed to report. After Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday I did not have to report so I thought I was safe, but on Thursday I ended up being selected for a trial at the Westminster courthouse.
Although tedious at times, I found the process interesting from a legal standpoint, the testimonies and the objections and judge's rulings. In this case, there was a public prosecutor and public defender, and I was impressed with both, especially the defender who vigorously argued his client's case.
The other aspect I found interesting was the cross section of people that were on jury duty. We had a doctor, a movie maker, housewives, students, law enforcement officers, and as each juror was called, we got to learn a little bit about them, their jury experience, and some of their opinions about guilt and innocence. The judge and attorneys listened to each juror answer the questions, then either accepted or excused the juror until 14 were selected.
Once the final 14 jurors were selected (12 jurors and two alternates; I was alternate number two), we spent three days together listening to testimony and getting a chance to get to know each other a little bit. It reminded me of being on vacation. Sometimes you form a bond with people even if you are together for a relatively short time.
So next time you are called to serve jury duty, don't throw away the summons. Try to work it into your schedule because jurors are a very important part of the justice system and you will meet some interesting people.
For more information about jury service, see occourts.org.

Let's get one thing straight, right off the top. If you have to ask someone how to pronounce their name before you say it out loud? That's what we call 'common courtesy'. It is not notable enough to announce to the world on a live broadcast, as though the fact that the name was hard for you, Jamie Lee, is notable. Full Story

Burned My Hair And Didn't Straighten It At All.Okay, so my hair is really really tough to straighten since it's wavy and dry, but this didn't even give me results close to straight. It stayed almost the same, and since it has no temperate settings, I couldn't the temperature up or anything. It felt really hot at the touch and the outer plates were burning my hand as I was flat ironing.. ouch! And it made a "burning" sound when I got it to my ends. Wtf?! The only thing I liked about this is that it's so cute. I'm sending it back though.May 21, 2012Amika Giraffe Go-Go Travel SetHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Dry Hair / Curly Hair

Awesome Products!I bought this for my daughter for Christmas. It's very hard for me to find products for her very thick hair, but although the straightner is very mini, it works like a charm! It does the same job as a full one would and the blow dryer is also mini but powerful! I am ready to buy one for myself! I definitely recommend this to everyone! :)))Jan 2, 2012Amika Pink Snake Go-Go Travel SetHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Normal Hair

David Y.H. Lui
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Hedy Fry Vancouver Centre, BC
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to a cultural icon in Vancouver, David Y.H. Lui, who passed away last month.
David was a B.C. boy. Born in Vancouver in 1944, David attended Kitsilano Secondary School and, later, UBC. From a young age, David was interested in ballet, but it was in university where that interest really took hold.
The man with the flowing cape, as he was known, made Vancouver a destination for world-class artists. His David Y.H. Lui Dance Spectacular series brought artists like Martha Graham, Alvin Ailey, the Joffrey Ballet and Shirley MacLaine to Vancouver.
David was the head of the arts community, a prominent member for more than 40 years. He built the David Y.H. Lui Theatre in 1975, co-founded Ballet BC and BC Arts Council and was board member of the Canada Council, where he pushed for a multicultural arts scene.
Canada's artistic community has not only lost a great visionary and advocate, but a dear friend. On behalf of the Liberal Party of Canada, I offer sincere condolences to David's friends and family. A celebration of David's life will be held at The Playhouse in Vancouver on October 23.
Parliamentary Fitness Initiative
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
John Weston West Vancouver—Sunshine Coast—Sea to Sky Country, BC
Mr. Speaker, it gives me great pleasure to remind fellow members of the parliamentary fitness initiative intended to make each member healthier personally and in the process better role models as parliamentarians.
Members are invited early Tuesday mornings to run or walk and to swim on Thursdays, with the highest calibre volunteer coaches. For cyclists, their fitness initiative team recently secured indoor shelters on Parliament Hill.
The aim is not at high performance athletes, but at every member and, more importantly, at every Canadian represented through us from across our great country. Every step we take is a step in the right direction at a time when, as a nation, we Canadians need to confront childhood obesity, diabetes and other consequences of unhealthy lifestyles.
All Canadians like to see members work together in common cause for the benefit of the whole country. That is why colleagues for Etobicoke North and Sackville—Eastern Shore are working with me on this initiative, and I thank them for their support.
Let us join together Canadians of every measure of ability to make Canada the healthiest place on earth.
Montreal Metropolitan Area
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Hélène LeBlanc LaSalle—Émard, QC
Mr. Speaker, later this evening, on behalf of the 28 NDP members from the Montreal metropolitan area, a colleague and I will be presenting a submission entitled "Putting a human face on our metropolis: towards a green, sustainable and prosperous Montreal metropolitan area" as part of a public consultation process.
As representatives of our constituents and in the spirit of co-operation with all levels of government, we wanted to share our thoughts and contribute to these public consultations. This submission is the product of a collective effort. We hope it will add to the plan and help it come to fruition.
The NDP members from Quebec want to play an active role in partnership projects and plans for the future. Residents and community stakeholders want the Montreal metropolitan area to finally have a coherent and comprehensive plan that respects the diversity and wealth of the land, facilitates travel, and contributes to the economic and social development of the region in a sustainable manner.
Eldred King
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Paul Calandra Oak Ridges—Markham, ON
Mr. Speaker, this was a sad week for residents of York Region. Over the weekend, Eldred King, former mayor and York Region chair, lost his battle with illness and passed away at the age of 84.
Mr. King lived a full life as a leader, mentor, husband and father. He was an extraordinary individual who dedicated much of his life to our community. He guided us through a period of tremendous change and was a towering figure in helping to make our community the extraordinary place it is today.
Wednesday was a difficult day as we officially said goodbye to Mr. King. He was a prominent man in many people's lives. For me, he was the first to support my decision to seek public office. His advice was instrumental. He helped me truly understand the importance of maintaining rural heritage in the face of dramatic growth.
We owe a huge debt of gratitude to Mr. King for his work in helping shape Markham, Stouffville and York Region.
On behalf of my family and my entire team, I pass on my sincere condolences to his wife, Beulah, and sons Jeff, Rod and Jan.
Bay of Fundy
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Greg Kerr West Nova, NS
Mr. Speaker, as I said in the House in March, the Bay of Fundy is Canada's finalist in a prestigious global campaign to identify the New 7 Wonders of Nature. I am pleased that other colleagues have spoken in Parliament in support of the Bay of Fundy.
Time is running out and we need the help of all Canadians. Our Bay of Fundy belongs in the company of other prestigious finalists, like the Grand Canyon, the Great Barrier Reef and the Galapagos Islands.
The top New 7 Wonders of Nature will be announced on November 11, just three weeks away. A win for the Bay of Fundy would have huge significance for Canada on a global scale. It may be one of the best known destinations in the world.
I am once again asking all members of the House to support this initiative and encourage their constituents to vote for the Bay online and by text. With the help of Canadians, we can ensure that on November 11, Canadians will be proud to hear the Bay of Fundy declared one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature.
A vote for the Bay of Fundy is a vote for Canada.
Binational Health Week
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
François Pilon Laval—Les Îles, QC
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to acknowledge the exceptional work of the organizers of the 11th Binational Health Week in Montreal.
This event is one of the largest mobilization efforts of federal and provincial government agencies, community-based organizations and volunteers in North America.
Through this effort, the consulates general of Colombia, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico and Peru invite people from their countries to contribute positively to their communities and improve their health.
I want to congratulate all those who make this positive initiative possible, and I encourage them to continue their amazing contribution to Quebec and Canadian society.
Statements By Members
October 20th, 2011 / 2:10 p.m.
Brian Jean Fort McMurray—Athabasca, AB
Mr. Speaker, members will be shocked to know that the CBC has not corrected the record on its misleading report from Monday night. It failed to inform Canadians about the drug treatment court exemption in our government's safe streets and communities act.
Today the Quebec Bar Association confirmed that it supports the important drug treatment court exemption in Bill C-10 for those who are seeking treatment for their addictions.
Police chiefs have confirmed that drugs are the primary currency of violent criminal organizations. Fire chiefs have confirmed that grow ops and meth labs constitute a significant threat to the health of Canadian communities.
Bill C-10 is clear. If individuals do this criminal activity, they will pay with jail time. It is time the opposition parties across listened to the front-line experts and supported our efforts.
Canadians are concerned about crime and the experts agree. Bill C-10 targets organized crime while providing treatment options for those addicted to drugs. I call on the CBC today to apologize, to correct the record, and to stop misleading Canadians.
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Randall Garrison Esquimalt—Juan de Fuca, BC
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize October 20 as Spirit Day, a day started in 2010 by Canadian teenager Brittany McMillan to remember the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning youth lost to suicide.
Many of us are wearing purple today in their memory and as a way to draw attention to the need for action. Suicide is the second leading cause of death among teens, and homophobic bullying often plays a significant role in these tragic losses.
I want to applaud the efforts of the purple letter campaign in B.C., which has collected thousands of letters urging the provincial government to adopt an anti-bullying campaign in every school.
I would also like to draw attention to the efforts of Ottawa youth who are dealing with the loss of a friend this week by holding a vigil tonight at 7:30 p.m. at the Human Rights Monument.
Beyond wearing purple today, we also need to take action to bring an end to suicides caused by homophobic bullying. We need to ensure that youth have the supports they need, so that no one is left feeling that suicide is the only option. We need to listen to the calls from youth to make things better now. Yes, for most it will get better, but some feel they cannot wait.
We need a national suicide prevention program and we need to ensure youth have access to supports like gay-straight alliances in their schools. Let Spirit Day move us closer to these goals.
New Democratic Party of Canada
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Bernard Trottier Etobicoke—Lakeshore, ON
Mr. Speaker, the leadership candidate from Skeena—Bulkley Valley is proposing non-compete deals with the Liberals in government-held ridings.
After seeing the candidates the NDP has run over the years in various ridings, does this show this member's lack of faith in his party's ability to find quality candidates for office?
The member for Winnipeg Centre backed this idea. There has even been support within their caucus for an outright merger.
While our government is focusing on what is important to Canadians—job creation and economic growth—the NDP is looking at who could defeat our members. The NDP is splintered in these difficult times.
This week, NDP spokespersons contradicted one another on the issue of a coalition with the Liberals. These are disturbing examples that show that the NDP is too weak and divided to govern.
Kings--Hants National Leaders
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Scott Brison Kings—Hants, NS
Mr. Speaker, this year Kings—Hants is home to a trifecta of great Canadians providing effective leadership to three prominent national organizations.
Trinda Ernst is the president of the Canadian Bar Association, Dr. Robert MacGregor is president of the Canadian Dental Association, and Peter Clarke is president of the Egg Farmers of Canada.
Trinda Ernst is the fifth woman to lead the CBA and practises with Waterbury Newton in Kentville, Nova Scotia. She is a graduate of Dalhousie University.
Dr. MacGregor has practised in Kentville for almost 30 years and is a graduate of both Acadia University and Dalhousie University.
Peter Clarke is a well-respected member of the Nova Scotian agricultural community and operates an egg farm in the Annapolis Valley. He is also a recipient of the Order of Nova Scotia.
I congratulate these three fine citizens for their leadership in their communities and national organizations, for their leadership within Canada, and for their dedicated public service to all of us.
Shipbuilding Industry
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Gerald Keddy South Shore—St. Margaret's, NS
Mr. Speaker, our government is focused on what matters most to Canadians, which is, creating jobs and economic growth.
Yesterday, the shipbuilding secretariat announced its decision. The national shipbuilding strategy is a win for all of Canada that will create thousands of new jobs and billions in economic growth in cities and communities across this great country.
Unfortunately, as non-partisan public servants were explaining the process that was based on merit and run at arm's length, free from political involvement, the leader of the NDP was calling for political intervention in the process.
Let us remember that the NDP members voted against this procurement, and now they want political interference in a plan they never supported. This contradictory position from the NDP is another worrying example of its lack of understanding of how Canada works.
Homelessness Awareness Night
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Marie-Claude Morin Saint-Hyacinthe—Bagot, QC
Mr. Speaker, on Friday, October 21, the 22nd homelessness awareness night will take place in 25 Quebec cities. The theme is poverty. This event raises awareness of the fact that, every night, whether it is 20oC or -20oC, people sleep in the streets and sometimes die of hunger and cold.
One in every six Quebeckers believes that he or she could become homeless. This event is an outdoor vigil for solidarity where street people and ordinary citizens spend some time together enjoying various activities and entertainment. I commend the initiative of the agencies that organize this event and that struggle every year to make ends meet and to help the disadvantaged, even though they receive inadequate funding.
I am taking this opportunity to share my dream with you. I hope that one day we will no longer hold such events because there will be no more homeless people.
Join us on October 21, from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m., to put an end to isolation and indifference, fight prejudice against homeless people and eliminate a problem that can happen to anyone.
Marketing Freedom
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Rob Merrifield Yellowhead, AB
Mr. Speaker, our government is focused on what really matters to Canadians which is, creating jobs and economic growth.
Instead of working with us, the NDP caucus members have become so disunited that they are contradicting each other on important issues that are important to Canada, and particularly western Canada.
Yesterday, the NDP leader tried to argue, wrongly, that Parliament could not amend legislation that would give farmers marketing freedom.
One of her own colleagues, the member for Winnipeg Centre, said that he actually did not buy her argument.
Now, I seldom agree with him, but on this one I do. In fact, he recognized that our legislation can give farmers the freedom that they are asking for. Unfortunately, his leader does not agree with him.
This contradictory position from the NDP is just yet another worrying example of how weak and disunited the NDP is and that it is nowhere even close to being fit to govern.
Shipbuilding Industry
Oral Questions

Nycole Turmel Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, today the NDP shipbuilding critic from Sackville—Eastern Shore, along with myself and all New Democrats, celebrate with the workers of Nova Scotia and British Columbia, but for other workers yesterday's announcement came up $2 billion short. Instead of announcing the full $35 billion in contracts, the government picked winners and losers.
The Prime Minister left major shipyards like Davie vulnerable. Why?

Stephen Harper Prime Minister
Mr. Speaker, while the leader of the NDP has chosen at the last hour to criticize the process, the fact of the matter is this. The NDP member of Parliament for Louis-Hébert said, "We would like to ensure that all the processes are clear and transparent and we recognize that that is the case here".
In the case of the NDP member for Sackville—Eastern Shore, he said, "We are very pleased and we congratulate the government on that process".
This is a process that will result in enormous benefit not just for the shipbuilders that won the contracts yesterday but for all of the shipbuilding industry and all of the Canadian economy.

Hindu Holi Festival of Colors Are Energy, Joy, and Life
An explosion of color results as participants of a Holi festival in Utah throw colored chalk into the air and at each other. (photo: Jeremy Nicoll)
There's no shortage of photos from Holi, the Hindu festival of colors, which takes place this year on Sunday, March 20th. Around the world, people celebrate the holiday by "throwing colors" at anyone who wanders by. Sometimes it's in the form of powders, sometimes colored water, and sometimes natural dyes.
According to the BBC's description of Holi, Ratnaval, a seventh-century Sanskrit drama, has one of the first references to the festivities:
"Witness the beauty of the great cupid festival which excites curiosity as the townsfolk are dancing at the touch of brownish water thrown from squirt-guns. They are seized by pretty women while all along the roads the air is filled with singing and drum-beating. Everything is coloured yellowish red and rendered dusty by the heaps of scented powder blown all over."
As with most Hindu holidays, the historical significance of the festival is complex and varied, depending on the region of India you find yourself in. For some, like my dad who grew up in the city of Hyderabad, it represents the beginning of spring, which, coincidentally, also occurs today.
With such differing explanations, I was particularly drawn to this lovely depiction by Outsourced actor Sacha Dawan. He says "it's a day of throwing unlimited amounts of color. In a way the color represents energy, joy, life."
If you find yourself at a Holi celebration this weekend, please send us your pictures!

"These pumps are adorable. I got them in the red, and the color is great. I have found them to be a little roomy, but not enough to go down a half size. I will probably get inserts for them. Overall, very comfortable."

"I bought this shoe in red, loved it so much, that ordered a pair in green too. This shoe runs TTS, and is very comfortable. I like the quality of suede. I have to say, that I like Mojo Moxy brand in general. The only downside of the shoe is that the soles don't have any traction, but they are thick enough to sandpaper them, or, as an option, to put sole stickers."

Celebrities golf for charity in Bristol
BRISTOL, Va. - Emmitt Smith, Dan Marino and Darius Rucker were just some of the celebrities golfing Monday at the Virginian Golf Club. Together they raised over 700-thousand dollars for the Niswonger Children's Hospital, according to event officials.
Eighteen celebrities teed it up with 72 amateurs to raise money for the Johnson City-based children's hospital.
"Golf is probably one of the most utilized fundraising sports in all of sports and has raised more money in golf outings than any other fundraising engine," Pro Football Hall Of Famer Emmitt Smith told News 5 WCYB.
The group included Emmitt Smith, Bruce Smith, Dan Marino, Jason Witten, Mike Smith, Bill Bates, Frank Beamer, Rick Carlisle, Dell Curry, Phil Fulmer, Condredge Holloway, Victor Jones, Larry Mize, Corey Pavin, Bruce Pearl, Tom Purtzer, Darius Rucker and Jim Stuckey.
The event also offered some athletes the chance to catch up with former competitors.
"I get a little nervous because Bruce Smith is behind me," Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback Dan Marino said of the hall of fame defensive end he used to play against.
"That's not a good feeling. I like to keep him in front of me. When he's behind me I start getting nervous."

There are some ready-made double page templates in the boutique:
ScrapSimple Digital Layout Album
ScrapSimple Digital Layout Album Templates: 12x12 Around N Around
Scrapsimple Digital Layout Album Templates: 12x12 Spread Out Mini
ScrapSimple Digital Layout Album Templates: 12x12 Absolutely Blended
But you can always mix and max and drag whatever templates you like into a 12"x24" space to create a custom 2-page spread.
Posted 30 November 2012 - 10:55 PM
Thanks, that's what I figured. Do you know if it's even possible to combine two 12x12 templates to make one 24x12?
Hi, Jenalyss! Welcome to Scrap Girls. I do double layouts all the time, so here's what you do:
Open the first template and the second template separately.
On the template that you want on the LEFT side, enlarge the CANVAS SIZE from 12x12 to 12x24, with the "extra" all on the right hand-side. In Photoshop CS4, the command is Image, Canvas Size. Then click the middle left arrow on the "tictactoe" arrangement to indicate resize FROM the middle left. Click the very top layer; this will make sure the next template layers come in without being sandwiched between some of the first template.
Click to the Right-side template. Make sure the window is "floating" rather than docked, and that you can see at least some of the blank canvas area for the first template at the same time. In the layers palette for the Right Hand Template, select ALL the layers (click one, then CTRL A), and drag the palette layers to the blank area, then release.
Close the right-side template. While the layers are still selected, drag the set to the right location. SAVE the template you've created with a new name; don't overwrite your originals. I just noticed this is in the PSElements forum; maybe someone else can revise my instructions slightly to get them just right for PSE.
Again, welcome to Scrap Girls. I look forward to seeing your layouts.

Flames Comparables: Reserve Defensemen
Robert Vollman
October 27 2011 11:17AM
Every Thursday we're using the Snepsts system to project how many points each of the Flames may score this year. Now that we've moved on to players with limited NHL, we're switching to AHL-to-NHL Translations.
We've already looked at most of the Flames key forwards and key defensemen, and this week we'll look at some of their reserve defensemen: Derek Smith, Clay Wilson, T.J. Brodie and Brendan Mikkelson.
Derek Smith
Undrafted 27-year-old defenseman Derek Smith has just 11 NHL games, all with Ottawa, but has 142 points over 272 AHL games. Here's how the data converts to their NHL equivalent.
Season GP G A PTS 2007-08 52 1 6 7 2008-09 75 4 11 15 2009-10 76 6 17 23 2010-11 80 4 19 23
Smith's VUKOTA projection calls for 2 goals, 5 assists and 7 points in 27 games, most likely as a temporary 3rd-line injury call-up, which would extrapolates to the same 23-point scoring level his last two AHL seasons would suggest he could achieve.
Clay Wilson
Another undrafted defenseman, this time 28 years old, is Clay Wilson, who has managed 8 points in 31 NHL games over four seasons with three teams (Columbus, Atlanta and Florida). Wilson has scored 279 points in his 421 AHL games since 2005-06, here's how they translate to their NHL equivalent, adding in his NHL action to the AHL translations.
Season GP G A PTS 2005-06 60 5 13 18 2006-07 79 5 17 22 2007-08 78 7 16 23 2008-09 77 6 15 21 2009-10 77 5 17 22 2010-11 81 8 17 25
If he had been an NHLer all these years, he could have just enjoyed his fifth straight 20-point season. VUKOTA's projection has Wilson down for 3 goals, 7 assists and 10 points in 31 NHL games, roughly the same scoring pace as he's established in the AHL translation.
T.J. Brodie
21-year-old T. J. Brodie, Calgary's 4th round selection in 2008, played 3 games for the Flames last year, and 68 more for the Abbotsford Heat, leading all their defensemen by a wide margin, and finishing just one point shy of centre Matt Keith for the team scoring lead – with 34 points (yeah, the Heat kind of sucked).
All together that would work out to a season with 71 games, 3 goals, 14 assists and 17 points – not bad for a kid. VUKOTA predicts 2 goals and 5 assists for 7 points in 25 games.
Brendan Mikkelson
Brendan Mikkelson, whose father Bill owns the single-season record for worst plus/minus, was 23 last season, playing his 86th game, with no goals and only 6 assists to show for it.
VUKOTA predicts 1 goals and 4 assists for 5 points in 34 games, which certainly looks reasonable given the following seasons based on partial NHL data, and AHL-to-NHL translations.
Season GP G A PTS 2007-08 66 3 5 8 2008-09 65 1 7 8 2009-10 77 4 10 14 2010-11 28 0 2 2
Mikkelson is about as much of a scoring threat as Mike Ricci at his high school prom. Mikkelson needs to be far better defensively than he is to stay in their line-up with offensive capabilities clearly inferior to their other options.
Coming Up
Lance Bouma, Stefan Meyer, Paul Byron, Greg Nemisz
Raitis Ivanans, Guillaume Desbiens and Pierre-Luc Letourneau-Leblond.
October 27 2011, 06:58PM
Not exactly numbers that will light the world on fire, but then again they are all defensemen. I hope to see another step forward from Brodie this year, and with a Better supporting cast, we just might.
Is Mikkelsen the odds on favorite as the first call up, if the big club needs a defensemen, or are their brighter lights there?

Michael Krumm Takes Nissan ZEOD RC Wheel in Fuji Speedway Debut
OYAMA-CHO, Japan – The Nissan ZEOD RC made its debut run at Fuji Speedway on Friday with former GT1 Champion Michael Krumm at the wheel, moving from design board to the track in only seven months.
The ZEOD is on display during the six-hour FIA World Endurance Championship in Japan at Fuji this weekend.
"It's like being in a different world. As soon as I sat in the cockpit, it was brand new. Even the buttons are completely different from a conventional race car," Krumm said.
"I have driven the LEAF NISMO RC before, but it was great to be in a full Le Mans-spec cockpit."
Former GT Academy winner Lucas Ordonez will also work with Nissan in preparing the ZEOD RC for its "Garage 56″participation at next year's race at 24 Hours of Le Mans.
"It was great fun. This was a low-speed demonstration, but I could feel a great response from the car," Krumm said.
"Normally, electric vehicles don't have a transmission, but this car has a full racing gearbox connected to the motor. The gearbox is the same as a normal racing car. It has an electric powertrain that gives you a very new feeling. It was really fun."

Mr. Raymond C. Kelley
On behalf of the more than 2 million men and women of the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the U.S. (VFW) and our Auxiliaries, I would like to thank you for the opportunity to testify today. The VFW works alongside the other members of the Independent Budget (IB) – AMVETS, Disabled American Veterans and Paralyzed Veterans of America – to produce a set of policy and budget recommendations that reflect what we believe would meet the needs of America's veterans. The VFW is responsible for the construction portion of the IB, so I will limit my remarks to that portion of the budget.
With an infrastructure that is more than 60 years old, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has a monumental task of maintaining and improving its vast network of facilities to ensure the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) can provide accessible, high-quality health care to our nation's veterans. Currently, VA owns 5,300 buildings and manages more than 800 leases. In 2005, VA began using the Federal Real Property Council (FRPC) Tier 1 performance measures to assess its capital portfolio goals.[1] The two measures that directly affect patient services are utilization and condition. In 2004, VA's utilization was at 80 percent, well below capacity. That utilization grew to 121 percent in 2010, and is projected to grow even more in the coming years. During the same time period, the condition of VA's infrastructure decreased from 81 percent to 71 percent.[2] These trends show that funding for the next few years will be critical for VA to fulfill its mission.
VA has developed the Strategic Capital Investment Plan (SCIP) to address the critical deficiencies in its infrastructure. SCIP uses six criteria to assess deficiencies, or gaps, in its ability to deliver efficient, high-quality, accessible services and care for veterans. The six gap criteria are access, utilization, space, condition, energy, and other (which includes safety, security, privacy, and seismic corrections).[3] It was also determined that to close all these gaps it would cost between $53 billion and $65 billion.[4]
To determine and monitor the condition of its facilities, VA conducted a Facility Condition Assessment (FCA). These assessments include inspections of building systems, such as electrical, mechanical, plumbing, elevators, and structural and architectural safety; and site conditions consisting of roads, parking, sidewalks, water mains, water protection. The FCA review team can grant ratings of A, B, C, D, and F. Assessment ratings A through C conclude the assessed is in new to average condition. D ratings mean the condition is below average and F means the condition is critical and requires immediate attention. To correct these deficiencies, VA will need to invest nearly $10 billion.[5]
To close the gaps in access, VA will need to invest between $30 billion and $35 billion dollars in major and minor construction and leasing. The remaining $20 billion is needed to close the remaining nonrecurring maintenance deficiencies.
Major Construction Accounts:
By estimation of the Department of Veterans Affairs, the cost to implement all currently identified gaps in major construction, Congress will have to authorize and appropriate between $20 billion and $24.5 billion over the next 10 years. Currently, there are 35 major construction projects that are authorized, dating back as far as 2004. Only three of these projects are funded through completion. The total unobligated amount for all currently congressionally budgeted major construction projects is $2.8 billion.[6] Yet the total funding requested for FY 2012 major construction accounts was only $725 million.
At this level of funding, it will take VA more than 25 years to complete its current 10-year capital investment plan. The Independent Budget veterans service organizations (IBVSOs) understand that fiscally difficult times call for spending restraints, but without quality, accessible medical centers, VA will not be able to deliver quality, accessible care. The IBVSOs recommend $2.8 billion to complete all partially funded and future major construction needs to close all identified gaps by 2021.
Minor Construction Accounts:
To close the minor construction gaps within its 10-year timeline, VA will need to invest nearly $8 billion in Veterans Health Administration minor construction alone.[7] Minor construction projects allow VA to address issues of functional space within existing buildings and improve facility conditions at cost less than $10 million. In past years VA and Congress requested and appropriated nearly 10 percent of the total need to close the minor construction gaps. However, the Administration and Congress decreased funding for minor construction by about $250 million over the past two years. If this rate of investment is continued, it will take more than 16 years to complete all current minor construction gaps. Congress and VA must put minor construction back on track by investing 10 percent of the total cost to complete the 10-year minor construction plan. With this in mind, The Independent Budget recommends $969 million in FY 2013 to achieve this goal.
Nonrecurring Maintenance Account:
Even though nonrecurring maintenance (NRM), which is funded through VA's Medical Facilities account and not through the construction account, it is critical to VA's capital infrastructure. NRM embodies the many small projects that together provide for the long-term sustainability and usability of VA facilities. NRM projects are one-time repairs, such as modernizing mechanical or electrical systems, replacing windows and equipment, and preserving roofs and floors, among other routine maintenance needs. Nonrecurring maintenance is a necessary component of the care and stewardship of a facility. When managed responsibly, these relatively small, periodic investments ensure that the more substantial investments of major and minor construction provide real value to taxpayers and to veterans as well. Accordingly, to fully maintain its facilities, VA needs an NRM annual budget of at least $2.1 billion.
Given the low level of funding NRM accounts have historically received, The Independent Budget veterans service organizations (IBVSOs) are not surprised that basic facility maintenance remains a challenge for VA. In addition, the IBVSOs have long-standing concerns about how this funding is apportioned once received by VA. Because NRM accounts are organized under the Medical Facilities appropriation, it has traditionally been apportioned using the Veterans Equitable Resource Allocation (VERA) formula. This formula was intended to allocate health-care dollars to those areas with the greatest demand for health care, and is not an ideal method to allocate NRM funds. When dealing with maintenance needs, this formula may prove counterproductive by moving funds away from older medical centers and reallocating the funds to newer facilities where patient demand is greater, even if the maintenance needs are not as intense. The IBVSOs are encouraged by actions the House and Senate Veterans' Affairs Committees have taken in recent years requiring NRM funding to be allocated outside the VERA formula, and we hope this practice will continue.
Capital Leasing:
The Department of Veterans Affairs enters into two types of leases. First, VA leases properties to use for each agency within VA, ranging from community-based outpatient clinics (CBOC) and medical centers, to research and warehouse space. These leases do not fall under the larger construction accounts, but under each administration's and staff office operating accounts.[8]
The second type of lease, called enhanced-use lease (EUL), allows VA to lease property they own to an outside-VA entity. These leases allow VA to lease properties that are unutilized or underutilized for projects such as veterans' homelessness and long-term care. Proper use of leases provides VA with flexibility in providing care as veterans' needs and demographics changes.
VA has moved to leasing many of its CBOCs and specialty clinics to increase access of primary and specialty care in local communities as well as a way to be more modular as veterans' demographics change. The Independent Budget veterans service organizations (IBVSOs) see the value in providing quick, accessible health care, but caution a leasing concept that will rely on contracting inpatient care. Not having accessible inpatient care can and has left VA looking for ways to treat veterans in their greatest time of need. As Strategic Capital Investment Planningcontinues to move forward and more leases are entered into, some of which may have in patient alternatives, the IBVSOs will be continue to be vigilant to ensure that VA has viable contingency plans for inpatient care.
EUL gives VA the authority to lease land or buildings to public, nonprofit, or private organizations or companies as long as the lease is consistent with VA's mission and that the lease "provides appropriate space for an activity contributing to the mission of the Department."[9] Although EUL can be used for a wide range of activities, the majority of the leases result in housing for homeless veterans and assisted living facilities. In 2013, VA has 19 buildings or parcels of land that are planned for EUL.[10] The IBVSOs encourage VA to continue to improve their transparency of potential EUL properties. Improving dialog with veterans in the communities will reduce the backlash that often occurs when VA property is being repurposed.
Empty or Underutilized Space at Medical Centers:
The Department of Veterans Affairs maintains approximately 1,100 buildings that are either vacant or underutilized. An underutilized building is defined as one where less than 25 percent of space is used. It costs VA from $1 to $3 per square foot per year to maintain a vacant building.
Public Law 108-422 incentivized VA's efforts to properly dispose of excess space by allowing VA to retain the proceeds from the sale, transfer, or exchange of certain properties in a Capital Asset Fund. Further, that law required VA to develop short- and long-term plans for the disposal of these facilities in an annual report to Congress. With this in mind, VA has begun a review of buildings and properties for finding possible reuse or repurpose opportunities. Building Utilization Review and Repurposing or BURR will focus on identifying sites in three major categories; housing for veterans who are homeless or at risk for being homeless; senior veterans capable of independent living and veterans who require assisted-living and supportive services. The three phases planned include identifying campuses with buildings and land that are either vacant or underutilized; sites visit to match the supply of building and land with the demand for services and availability of financing and lastly identifying campuses using VA's enhanced-use leasing authority. Under the BURR initiative, if no repurposing is identified, VA will begin to assess its vacant capital inventory by demolishing or disposing of buildings that are unsuitable for reuse or beyond their usefulness.
The IBVSOs have stated that VA must continue to develop these plans, working in concert with architectural master plans, community stakeholders and clearly identifying the long-range vision for all such sites.
Program for Architectural Master Plans:
A facility master plan is a comprehensive tool to examine and project potential new patient care programs and how they might affect the existing health-care facility design. It also provides insight with respect to growth needs, current space deficiencies, and other facility needs for existing programs and how they might be accommodated in the future with redesign, expansion, or contraction.
In many past cases VA has planned construction in a reactive manner. Projects are first funded and then placed in the facility in the most expedient manner, often not considering other future projects and facility needs. This often results in short-sighted construction that restricts rather than expands options for the future.
The Independent Budget veterans service organizations (IBVSOs) believe that each VA medical center should develop a comprehensive facility master plan to serve as a blueprint for development, construction, and future growth of the facility; $15 million should be budgeted for this purpose. We believe that each VA medical center should develop a comprehensive facility master plan to serve as a blueprint for development, construction, and future growth of the facility.
VA has undertaken master planning for several VA facilities, and we applaud this effort. But VA must ensure that all VA facilities develop master plan strategies to validate strategic planning decisions, prepare accurate budgets, and implement efficient construction that minimizes wasted expenses and disruption to patient care.
Preservation of VA's Historic Structures:
The Department of Veterans Affairs has an extensive inventory of historic structures that highlight America's long tradition of providing care to veterans. These buildings and facilities enhance our understanding of the lives of those who have worn the uniform, of those who cared for their wounds, and of those who helped to build this great nation. Of the approximately 2,000 historic structures in the VA historic building inventory, many are neglected and deteriorate year after year because of a lack of any funding for their upkeep. These structures should be stabilized, protected, and preserved because they are an integral part our nation's history.
The cost for saving some of these buildings is not very high considering that they represent a part of American history. Once gone, they cannot be recaptured. For example, the Greek Revival Mansion at the VA Medical Center in Perry Point, Maryland, built in the 1750s can be restored and used as a facility or network training space for about $1.2 million. The Milwaukee Ward Memorial Theater, built in 1881, could be restored as a multipurpose facility at a cost of $6 million. These expenditures would be much less than the cost of new facilities and would preserve history simultaneously.
The IBVSOs encourage VA to use the tenants of Public Law 108-422, the "Veterans Health Programs Improvement Act," in improving the plight of VA's historic properties. This act authorizes historic preservation as one of the uses of the proceeds of the capital assets fund resulting from the sale or leases of other unneeded VA properties.
Mr. Chairman, this concludes my testimony and I look forward to any questions you and the Committee may have.
