Vintage Flame
October 13 2011 10:55AM
So here we are two games into the season and the proverbial vultures are already circling the Saddledome waiting to pick the bones of a lifeless team, hollowed out by empty promises and misguided optimism from a newly appointed GM.
Does that about say it all? Did I miss anything?
The Calgary Flames got off to what at the least can be referred to as a rough start. Okay it was a horrible start. But is this any reason to throw our hands up and start calling for the heads of the Flames coaches, management and to trade everyone not named Glencross, Tanguay or Giordano? I hardly think so. But what the hell did happen? Even the most optimistic of fans were left scratching their heads wondering, 'did this really just happen... already?'
Look folks, it's two games gone with 80 left to play. Why on earth are we putting ourselves through this already? It seems like it is just one thing after another lately, that all comes back to Jay Feaster. We have a ton of room in the comments below. None of you have ever been shy in voicing your opinions in the short time I've been writing here. So let's hear it people. What can Feaster do to make you happy as a fan base?
Half of the people were screaming for a full scale re-build, yet when he trades two core members of the team, we're suddenly ready to burn him in effigy. I have made no secret of the fact that of the core members on this team, Feaster absolutely made the right choices in Regehr and Langkow. The Flames are not going to change into an instant Cup contender over night, no matter how badly we want it, or how many live chickens we choose to sacrifice.
The other half of the fans seemed to be against the burn-it-to-the-ground solution, but did want to see change; a re-tooling of this squad. Well that's what happened, yet we are still not happy. Was it that the wrong people were traded? Were the wrong people re-signed? Did he not sign someone he should have? I wonder, because when I look at it, I don't see any viable alternatives to what jay did do in the off-season. However, in the interest of not sounding like the complete homer that I am, let's take a closer look at these three... points of contention?
Feaster traded the wrong players
I'm not really sure how anyone can subscribe to this to be honest. Regehr was a great defenseman for this team, but he was slowing down more and more every year. I don't believe he was the menacing obstacle that he was in 2004 and as for the infamous tunnel of death that existed between Reggie and the boards; it was quickly becoming an opportunity for faster opposing player to 'shoot the gap'. Reggie's offensive numbers are not really lost on the team either. in each of his last two seasons, he registered 17 pts. That's points, not goals. the year prior to those, he got 8 pts; none of them goals.
Speaking of not missing offense... We didn't even have Langkow last year, save four games, and the Flames still managed to finish in the top 10 in NHL scoring. Yes Langkow was our best two-way forward, but he was not going to be part of the future of this team. His health status and age were huge question marks, if not red flags for Feaster and I was happy to see him move both of these contracts, something that so many people thought he would not be able to do.
Feaster re-signed the wrong people
Four immediate names come to mind. It was the talk of the town as to who was going to be re-signed between Glencross and Tanguay because there was no chance that Calgary would be able to afford to sign both of them. Most of the consensus was on Tanguay, since he was the one that seemed so vital to the play of Jarome Iginla. isn't it funny now, how the accolades fall more upon Glencross and espcially the trio that we have come to call simply OMG?
Neither one of these signings seem absurd anymore. Dollars, term... It's all out the window since it's done and over with. It also doesn't hurt that Glencross and Tanguay are arguably Calgary's best forwards to start the season.
The other two re-signings, I agree, are questionable. Babchuk and Morrison leave a lot to be desired in the eyes of many fans. At the time of Babchuk's signing, prior to inking Scot Hannan, it looked like Anton was going to be playing top 4 minutes. Not a desireable slot for a D-man that was basically signed as a PP weapon, but a defensive liability. When the Flamesnation wroters picked their Stars and Goats for the year, Kent's choice for goat, fell on Anton Babchuk.
"Although I'm sure Brent Sutter is going to shelter Babchuk as much as possible again this year, I think he'll still end up a goat for various reasons: first, because I doubt he'll be north of a 60% zone start again, meaning he won't start so many shifts in the offensive zone. That's a difficult ratio to sustain for any regular skater, let alone a defender. If, for instance, Cory Sarich starts the year on IR, Babchuk will have to take a few more minutes and defensive zone draws.
In addition, Babchuk was by far the luckiest Flames defender last year. pucks went in at an uncanny rate when he was on the ice. if that falls away, his defensive short-comings will be much more apparent."
As for Morrison, many thought the move to re-sign him was the wrong move to make. I'll put myself in that category as well, though I do see why they did it. I'm pretty sure if the Flames had been successful in securing a legit number 1 centerman, then Morrison would not have been re-signed. Morrison was actually my choice for 'goat' this year.
"Even though he was only re-signed for 1 more year, Morrison is 36 years old and coming off a devastating knee injury. It is going to be extremely difficult for the Flames to find a fit for Morrison and for Brendan to find his fit on this team. Last year he was a spark plug in scoring for the Flames while fans watched in dismay at the slow start plaguing Jarome Iginla. that not be the case this year, with too many options already present for the Flames to ensure the captain has a better start."
What's ironic to me is that the Flames re-sign Morrison, contrary to popular opinion; and then lose Backlund to a 6 week injury before B-Mo even gets back into the line up. Not Morrison's fault, but the weak group of centermen that already existed just opened a spot in the rotation that Brendan won't even have to compete for, at least in the beginning. For the record I still think he'll be a goat in the long run for Calgary this season.
Feaster didn't sign the players he should have
I certainly hope people don't think Adam Pardy belongs in this group. Was Pardy a better defenseman than Babchuk? Absolutely, but was he sustainable? Or reliable? Especially for the kind of money he wanted, or got? The fact that he is already on IR should answer those questions.
As for the whale I mentioned before, yeah, let's talk about Brad Richards. Feaster went after him and didn't get him. You can draw whatever inferences you want from it; parallel it to the Tim Erixon fiasco, but simply put? The Flames were in the running, but Brad wanted to play in the East. what can you do? You can't blame anyone for that. Well maybe Brad Richards. Go ahead and blame him, I'm okay with it. The fact that they weren't able to secure Richards is most likely what led to the re-signing of Morrison, so that's where i said I could understand why they signed B-mo.
Like Kent said,
This team is not as bad as they seem. Iginla needs to knock the cobwebs off after missing all of training camp and pre-season. The Flames obviously need to get Backlund back, hopefully sooner than the six weeks he was projected to miss. What is Swedish for 'Hurry the eff up'?
The defence should sort itself out. Giordano has looked great. I think Bouwmeester has shown that he wants to be a more active player, and has shown shades of his play in his Florida days, sneaking in the back and jumping up on the rush. Butler is what he is. he is unproven yes, but so was Pardy when he joined the Flames. he got better as the season wore on, and I'm confident Butler will too, playing with Gio or J-Bo.
The team on the whole needs to just shoot the damn puck more. you are not going to win many games, regardless of who your opponent is, when you get less than 20 shots on goal.
As for Sutter... Everyone wants him fired? Why? or actually a more important question is who would replace him? the Flames have gone through coaches like Christmas ties and enough is enough. Sutter is a good coach. he is the same guy that was here for the 2nd half of last season when everyone loved everyone and there was dancing in the streets... Cats and dogs living together, in harmony... I'm not sure if there is any merit to this, but this is my thought. I believe the Flames are going to make a strong push for free agents; two in particular. I think the Flames go hard after Zach Parise and Ryan Suter. These are guys to build franchises around. Parise is the guy that takes this team off the shoulders of Iginla and leads this team in probably every aspect. I also think there is a relationship between Parise and Sutter that might allow for a more convincing argument to leave New Jersey and not explore other markets.
I have faith in Feaster and what he is doing for this organization. He said they'll make the playoffs, and I agree with that too. it won't be easy, but hey if it was, Edmonton wouldn't still be the piece of crap team they are and wouldn't have their first pick overall from the year before announcing another first pick overall.
"I'm sorry - Edmonton finished where last year, caller? want to wager on where we finish relative to Edmonton this year? I'm tired of this question, I'll tell you very honestly. I'm getting a little sour. how many teams... every year, for the last 10 years, five years, eight years, have finished in the bottom five, bottom seven, bottom 10? They've had to pick anywhere from No. 1 to No. 10 year after year after year after year,and they still wander in the desert. And they're no closer to getting out than they were 10 years ago.
You know what? I look forward to the Battle of Alberta for the next X number of years. If the idea is, 'Burn it to the ground,' then Ken can find another manager to do it."
I like this attitude and I agree with his sentiments. WRITE IT DOWN!
I'm a touch worried about the reactions to these two games. It really mirrors Canuck fans... I'm used to the critical fanbase but the whole jump out the window the sky is falling down mentality already is nutty to say the least.
Yeah those two games have been awful, but the fire him trade him bench him thing is crazy.
October 13 2011, 11:15AM
To some degree, it's a reflection to the general mindstate of the Flames fanbase. The club has finished two straight years out of the playoffs despite capped out teams and everyone is somewhat aware that the window is closing on this core of players.
As such, the faithful are highly vigilant towards signs of failure.
October 13 2011, 11:29AM
Hayley Wickenheiser for coach. That is all.
October 13 2011, 11:32AM
here is my take: Im not bothered by the losses per se, but as I said in the post game threads, the COMPLETE lack of compete out of the Flames especially in St. Louis is what really bothered me. The Flames were plenty competetive the last half of last season, but you're damn sure that was because of the "Lunch Pail" attitude. As for Brent - he knows what the problem is and im confident he'll fix it. I think he's done a helluva job so far with the Flames. Takes a good coach to actually teach CHUD how to play hockey. Leave Brent be for now. Some people are all over him for "questionable decisions" early on. I've got no problem with him starting Karlsson, but looking at past history, Kipper has dominated vs St. Louis and struggled vs Les Habs, so I might have reversed that decision. Seeing Karlsson in game 2 or game 3? no problem to me - if it gets too far in the season and the Flames are behind the 8 ball, you are not going to see Karlsson much, so lets get him some ice time early. As far as Feaster? I agree with you, he moved out the right pieces so far, the only thing ringing in the back of my head are those 12 pending UFA's - if you dont start moving pieces soon I cant see it getting any easier down the road, just too damn much in play at once...my opinion anyway.
oh yeah....I'm sure Parise and Suter are aching to play for an aging team with a "bottom 5 in the league" prospect list...
Those two want to play in Cowtown about as bad as Hossa wanted to play in Edmonton, but opted for a young Chicago teams that was showing flashes of what they soon would become...why would they come to Calgary? because Sutter coached and befreinded Parise for a little while? News flash...Sutter will not be the coach forever...signing long term with any team because you like the "Current coach" is always a dumb-ass move....cause coaches change....It could happen, but....yeah, probly not.
Just because your team has holes, does'nt mean free agents WANT to fill the holes...especially the top 2 free agents in the league...that for all you know will just re-sign with there current teams anyways...then what?
Parise: Hey Ryan, what say we both sign with Calgary and be the Miami Heat of the NHL and win 7 championships!? Vinatage Flamer thinks it a brilliant idea! I know the coach!(to be fare, Vintage Flamer never mentioned 7 championships, just being colorful and ridiculous...like his view points usually are) Ryan: Is'nt there core a tad aged....er...I want to go some place on the up-swing, or at least some place that you know...wins enough to make the playoffs..uh I'd really rather go to (Detroit, Washinton, Pitts,Philly, St Louis, Anaheim, Carolina...etc...hell even Edm might be more attractive then Calgary at this point)
Keep dreaming
There's always 8 years from now when You guys have finally replenished, and developed your future draft picks....who should be good players, cause you guys are gonna suck bad for a while. It's just how it works.
Feaster absolutely made the right choices in Regehr and Langkow.
I disagreed then, and I disagree now. And I'll probably disagree at season's end.
He made A choice.... that's absolute, but the right one? Nope.
But it's done.... and now we move on..
I agree that we all need to calm down.
I think the fans expect the team to have an identity and to compete day in and day out.
Our current identity is, well inconsistency rules, and the team rarely competes for a full sixty minutes. These are not new issues, in fact these issues date back two?, three? four? or more years.
Why are some of the fans so upset, its the here we go again syndrome, lots of kool aid from the management over the summer, but few if any positives on the ice.
It's not the fact that we lost two games that bothers be, its the way we lost the two games. Lack of compete, lack of consistency, lack of leadership and heart.
October 13 2011, 12:49PM
These 2 losses don't really mean a whole lot. This team stinks. Period. Its gonna be a long year, especially listening to Oil fan laugh at us with their sh!t-eating grin saying "told ya so".
As far as trading Regehr & Langkow goes, the moves needed to be made. The returns are debatable. And the only thing with Regehr is that they should have waited to trade him until the day after they were able to unload Kiprrusoff.
This group needs EVERYTHING to go PERFECT for them to even have a sniff at the playoffs. Its over.
Great article VF. I agree with it completely. I am not enjoying this over reaction and no one seems to be able to be made happy by anything Feaster does no matter what he does.
Getting rid of Langkow and Regher were great moves. My only real knock on the guy is Babchuk and even then he should help the PP so its not all lost.
@Vintage Flame
I agree with VF, especially on the 12 contracts coming off the books, lets take a look shall we:
Sarich 3.6M, Jokinen 3M, Hagman 3M, Kostopolous ~1M, Morrison 1.25M, Ivanans 600K, Hannan 1M, Smith 700K, PL3 500K
I'm not listing Stemp or Moss in the equation as I think both may be resigned, thats almost 15 million to work with there, that should give us something to work with to attempt to land a Suter or Parise.
Backlund, Stemp and Moss have a total cap hit of 4.5M right now, I can see that number going up some, but its not gonna eat into that 15M that badly that it will take us out of big free agent territory.
And with a new CBA there may be a Penalty Free Buyout again, so goodbye Babachuk and his 2.5, Stajan and his 3.5 and you suddenly have damn near close to 20 or more Million to work with. When you have a good core of Tanguay, Iggy, Backlund, Bouwmeester and Giordano, that 20 million will go a good way to improve the team next offseason.
Current Flames/Feaster apologists main argument is that they're not as bad as they're playing.
This is more than likely true.
Conversely, they're also NOT AS GOOD as their second-half run last year, which most optimists were expecting. 'The run' was proven to be a case of having a load off their shoulders (D Sutt) and having a back-scratchingly favorable schedule. Adding to that, IMO 'the run' ended following the Heritage Classic. That's where the terrible start and 'the run' leveled out and they played at the level that best represented the roster/situation. During that leveled off period, they went 10-7-4... averaged out over the season that would equate to 94 points, or not quite enough to make the playoffs in the West and coincidentally, exactly where they finished.
Then, Jay Feaster downgraded the roster (slightly), and now we figure we can just pencil this team into the playoffs? Take a minute and go over Feaster's history as a General Manager (to save some time, I previously wrote a post in regards to this - http://odlawderaj.wordpress.com/2011/06/29/jay-feaster-what-can-we-expect/ - it's over the top and sensationalized, but has all the info on his history that you'll need).
Was I surprised they're 0-2, not a bit. This team has been regressing for over 2 years. I was, however, surprised at the fact that they showed such little effort in both games save for about 20 - 30 total minutes. The team has little to no identity, unless their identity is inconsistency.
The points you make are based on faith. I lost faith in the regime a long time ago and refuse to put it back in until they give me a reason to.
October 13 2011, 01:49PM
'The points you make are based on faith. I lost faith in the regime a long time ago and refuse to put it back in until they give me a reason to.'
Exactly, well said.
I think the return for Langkow was good, 2.5 mill in cap space + Stempniak was a solid move. Regehr I thought was worth more & would have commanded a better prospect than Byron with Butler in the deal. Regehr is enjoying & being a big veteran piece to that Sabre team. Feaster may have under estimated RR's value. But its done. Butler should be a 5-6 dman playing with Sarich. The Babchuk signing wasnt a very good one, it just log jammed the 5-6 d position with Butler/Sarich/Carson/Henry/Smith/Brodie/Babchuk We dont have a top 4 & the 10 goals against reflects that. As for the panic, it's just another word for venting & sometimes I find that can be very theraputic:):)
October 13 2011, 02:02PM
Yeah - the return for Lanks in cap and Stempniak is a good trade. As far as the return on Reggie goes, you cant dump salary and pluck juicy assets at the same time. The mandate HAD to have been dump salary when that move was made. Of COURSE you're not going to get freakin all-star players in return. Feaster needed the wiggle room to do what he wanted to do: ensure he had space to sign Scoreface and Tanguay. We'd all LOVE to walk away from every deal giggling to ourselves cause we just rolled our trading partner, but come on.
I think the reason why Flames fan go crazy is because we don't know what our team identity is.
As mentioned above, are we a "lunchpail" team, are we an offensive team or a defensive team, a skill team vs an effort team.
The moves made this off-season, getting rid of Regher and Langkow and re-signing babchuk and bringing in Stempniak seem to reveal that mgmt is trying to change this team into an offensive team.
I'm not going to bring into discussion in regards to the players/coach's transition here, but I think flames fans get upset because we expect a defensive team and a lunchpail team and aren't getting that. If the GM wants this team to have more offensive flair, then the defensive lapses that have occurred shouldn't surprise anyone. The fan's expectations of this team and what it has been for the last decade was one built on their idea of grit and effort and team defense. The last fews, since the Keenan era, this team has been bouncing back and forth between what we have expected out of this team and what the Mgmt/coaches have tried turning this team into.
Once mgmt and coachs get on the same page and set an identity for this team (other than one that has fun and celebrates wins) the fans will get onside and these fustrations with game to game lapses will dissappear.
October 13 2011, 02:07PM
The Flames have SO much room coming available, that I'm just hoping they don't have the kid in the candy store attitude. Pick a guy like Parise and build around him. They can't just run out on July 1st with pockets full of cash and start signing people.
I think this is an area that Weisbrod is really going to be a key part of. Focus on building this team instead of the signings of individuals.
Just gotta hope that something decent is available and willing to come here when that happens. I hope they dont just resign all these guys...if nothing else, take like for like, but younger, and cheaper. Worst case scenario, you get some of the same guys a lot cheaper I guess.
@Vintage Flame
I'm not saying they pull a Florida and spend like drunken Monkeys. I would rather they focus on a big piece like on a Suter or Parise, resign some players like Moss, Backlund, stempniak(He's had a great start to the season as well so far, battling hard and looking good in the offensive zone, I wouldn't offer a contract till midseason at earliest though), and use the remaining cap space wisely and promote from within.
Picking up a Parise, Backlund could center a second line with Moss and Glenncross if Jokinen isn't resigned(which I think will be the backup, if we can't sign Parise or he's resigned by NJ before we resign Jokinen, kinda like Richards/Morrision this year) and we would have two solid lines and we'd have some money to upgrade on defense.
October 13 2011, 03:12PM
Vultures don't eat fecal matter do they? If not I can't see why they'd be circling the dome.
We all know that with most of the Dutter baggage coming off the books next year, this year is about building the value of your trading pieces and building a winning culture. So in 2 games, that mission is off to a poor start. That said all is not lost by any stretch. The Flames leadership need to focus on what the problem is. The symptom is really poor and inconsistent effort. There is a reason for that. Normally it relates to coaching, Be it goofball line pairings or yelling too much (or too little) or just not wanting to play for your coach. It also can be a room division. Maybe Gio and Jarome are dividing the room. Who knows? Tonight will be another piece of info. The are 79 more after that. Given next year's cap freedom for Feaster, this year can either be a sellout in a big way or a small way. Either way there will be a sell off. This will be a different team next year no matter what they do this year. That's what Feaster was hired for. This is still mostly Daryl's mess. Feaster did his job of drafing well, getting younger and dropping the cap. He's not skating, that's up the rest of the Flames. Of, and the fact that this year is the last year for this version of the Flames is not news to the players. That may be part of the lack of compete as well. Defeatist maybe. I'm still watching every game knowing that we are at or near the bottom of a trend.
The plan:
-sign any UFA's that you plan on keeping (Moss & Hannan might be a couple I'd consider, but its still too early, particularly on Hannan).
-trade all remaining UFA's for whatever you can get (Olli's interesting b/c you might be sitting there July 1st & see him as the best option by the time that roll's around).
-hope there are teams out there interested in Kipper & Stajan next off season - both have salary's that are lower than cap hits, so some bottom-end payroll teams may have interest there.
-add to core group that I doubt this team moves regardless of what happens this season (Iginla, Tanguay, Glencross, Giordano).
-overbid for key free agent(s) - yes, Parise and/or Suter. Iggy has 1 more year at $7M, then he has to sign for significantly less if he wants to stay & win (could also get an extension done with him July 1st to eliminate the questions).
Hannan would be one you look at much later in the season, closer to the Trade Deadline, if the team is underperforming and won't be a playoff team, he's trade bait, team is performing as expected and may squek into playoffs, keep him and asses value in the offseason, team is in fight for 4/5 playoff spot, maybe give him an extension around the trade deadline.
I think the only one we really 'need' to resign is Moss, Backlund is an RFA so expect him to be resigned, the ONLY one that I'm really considering out of all the other UFAs that need to be resigned is Stempniak, I've really liked his game early on, very small sample size of course, but I'd be curious what it takes to re-sign him.
The best thing this Flames team can hope for is that in the CBA negotiations next summer new buyouts without penalties are allowed, GOODBYE STAJAN AND BABCHUCK.
Hey VF! I skimmed the article and all I have to say is that the Flames are fundamentally flawed in their most basic approach! Everyone knows you don't sacrifice chickens! Cows, man, cows! I shouldn't have to tell a Calgarian this. Goats are acceptable in a pinch, but we all know that nothing gets done by those rink-rat Olympians unless it comes served on a platter filled with beef.
Preferably prime rib.
I would like to add that the Richards' non-signing is very likely similar in many respects to Hossa's refusal to sign here years ago. Although in Richards' case he seemed to pick travel and city destination over Calgary, but the refusal stings all the same. For what it's worth I was actually hoping he'd sign with the Flames. Not because I have your best interests at heart, mind you, but the details hardly matter.
@Vintage Flame
No no no, see the idea with sacrificing animals was that the gods would take whatever they wanted and leave the rest for the puny humans. FREE BBQ! Zeus and the family are happy just with the smell. And they usually drank wine at those shindigs, hardly savage. Anyway...
I knew Richards would be a long-term high cap-hit contract, which is sort of why I was hoping the Flames would land him. It would have married your team to that player for the foreseeable future. But also, in a non-hating way, it would have allowed Flames fans to finally see results from the old "what-would-Iginla-do-with-a-real-centre" game.

Food Inspection
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Malcolm Allen Welland, ON
Mr. Speaker, we witnessed over the last couple of weeks an insurmountable number of new announcements from the Minister of Agriculture regarding the CFIA and CBSA, otherwise known as the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and the Canada Border Services Agency.
We have watched as the CFIA has actually declined in numbers in real terms when it comes to inspection services, as well decline in budget. The minister's response was to just send it over to CBSA. What happened at CBSA? They shrank that budget too; however, today we see another announcement from the minister saying that the government will actually put some money back in, and folks can use a sort of check-off system and look after their own food security and safety.
That is not good enough. Canadians expect that their food will be safe no matter where it comes from in the world. As we know, it comes from many places around the world. In fact, over 80% of the food we consume comes from places other than our country.
What we need to do is ensure that all our food, no matter who it is for, is safe at all times, and we need to make sure that we have a robust inspection system no matter where the food comes from.
Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Joe Daniel Don Valley East, ON
Mr. Speaker, as we commemorate the Armenian genocide tomorrow, I remind the House that it has been almost 18 years since the ceasefire in the region of Nagorno-Karabakh was reached, when the Bishkek protocol was signed on May 5, 1994. At the time of the signing, the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe created the Minsk Group as a venue to broker a final, lasting and peaceful solution to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
I am proud that Canada has stood in steadfast support of the OSCE Minsk process and believe that dialogue through this process is the primary way to resolve the conflict. A balanced and objective approach on the issue of Nagorno-Karabakh and support to the regional and global peace and security are important.
We, as friends to both peoples, call upon all sides to peacefully continue the negotiation process through the Minsk Group and come to a mutually acceptable, solid and lasting solution.
Charter of Rights and Freedoms

Frank Valeriote Guelph, ON
Mr. Speaker, our nation was born of many different occasions, dates and events across the years that have formed the country we live in today. On April 17, Canadians celebrated one of the most significant milestones in our history, the 30th anniversary of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the patriation of our constitution.
Since 1982, our country and our national identity have been shaped by provisions of the charter that are now common in our day-to-day vocabulary. The charter sets out that we are equal regardless of race, gender or sexual orientation, ensuring all Canadians are equal under the law. We saw the establishment of fundamental freedoms of conscience, religion, thought, belief, opinion and expression, peaceful assembly and association.
An entire generation has come of age in an era when the values of fairness, compassion and equality are enshrined among our founding documents and are now ingrained in our character.
We look forward to the next 30 years, to decades of progress, fairness and protection for all Canadians.

Mr. Speaker, yesterday Canadians celebrated Earth Day. Canada's national heritage binds us together, and Earth Day highlights the importance of each individual taking personal action for protecting this precious gift.
Our government has also taken strong action to protect Canada's biodiversity and preserve its natural heritage. We have moved to protect an additional 150,000 square kilometres of parkland, a 54% increase to the existing lands and waters administered by Parks Canada. Also, we have established three new wildlife areas in Nunavut.
We will continue to move ahead on our commitment to engage Canadians in developing a national conservation plan, a coherent national framework for Canada's conservation efforts, and in budget 2012 we announced funding for the creation of Canada's first urban national park in the Rouge Valley in Ontario.
The Government of Canada congratulates Canadians who participate in Earth Day for their passion toward conservation and the long-term sustainability of Canada's environment.
Status of Women
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Françoise Boivin Gatineau, QC
Mr. Speaker, I rise here today to denounce certain government MPs' attempts to criminalize abortion.
Of course, they know that their approach is extremely unpopular with women, who hate it when men try to tell them what to do with their bodies.
That is why these members are drawing inspiration from the Republican Party and using roundabout ways and bogus motions that are based on pseudo-science.
Let us be clear: this will not work. Canadian women have a right to access abortion and this backwards-thinking government cannot take that away from them.
Our party has always defended women's rights and we will continue to do so. It is unfortunate that we cannot say the same for this government, which has let Motion M-312, moved by the member for Kitchener Centre, in by the back door in order to attack women directly.
It is not enough to answer on behalf of the government that it has no intention of reopening the abortion debate because—here is a reality check—Motion M-312 has already opened it. We must close it immediately.
Holocaust Remembrance Day
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Chris Alexander Ajax—Pickering, ON
Mr. Speaker, Holocaust Remembrance Day took place last week. It is up to all of us to remember the victims of that genocide, the millions of men, women and children killed brutally and mercilessly.
It also provides us with a moment to remember the soldiers who displayed uncommon courage and often made the ultimate sacrifice in defence of freedom, because when those Canadian and allied forces liberated the death camps, they came face to face with unimaginable horrors. They saw first-hand the toll exacted by a terrible state-sponsored brutality.
That dark chapter of history serves as a constant reminder to us all to remain vigilant in opposing inhumanity and intolerance, wherever in the world they may occur, lest history repeat itself.
I hope all hon. members and all Canadians will join us in pledging never to forget.

Oral Questions

Thomas Mulcair Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, Canadians are increasingly aware of the negative impact of the Conservative budget on their lives. What exactly does "cuts to direct services" mean? It means making our borders more porous and less secure. It means less income for future retirees. It means slower employment insurance claims processing.
Why did the government choose to cut direct services to people to fix a deficit that it created by cutting corporate taxes?
Government Services

Ottawa West—Nepean
John Baird Minister of Foreign Affairs
Mr. Speaker, this government recently set out a path forward for economic growth for long-term competitiveness. We realize that we have to return to balanced budgets so that public services can remain affordable for Canadians. That is why we have announced some small reductions overall. Of the $280 billion the government will spend, there will be some $4 billion or $5 billion of reductions over the next three years.
However, we are protecting those programs that are most important to Canadians, programs like health care and education. That is why our economy is becoming more competitive. That is why we have seen the creation of nearly 700,000 net new jobs since the end of the recession.
Government Services
Oral Questions
2:20 p.m.
Thomas Mulcair Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Finance announced in December, without discussion or debate, a $31 billion reduction in the health care projected transfer. Do not talk to us about protecting health care.
The Conservatives are creating an incredible economic, social and ecological debt that future generations will have to bear, but Canadians are not taking it lying down. Yesterday I was with 250,000 other Canadians in Montreal who are saying no to the Conservatives' dismantling of our protection in matters of the environment. That is why we ask the government, why do Canadians have to bear all the environmental risks while the Conservatives' friends benefit from the subsidies and lax environmental enforcement?
Government Services
Oral Questions
2:20 p.m.
Ottawa West—Nepean
John Baird Minister of Foreign Affairs
Mr. Speaker, when it comes to health care, no government has shown more support for doctors, nurses and hospitals than this government has shown. Every year since this Conservative government has been in power we have increased the transfer to provinces by 6%. That is an unparalleled level of commitment to health care in this country. We are very proud of that.
With respect to the environment, maybe the member could stand in his place and explain to Canadians why, when he was minister of the environment in Quebec, he cut his budget by $179 million. Maybe he could stand and tell us about that right here and right now.

Thomas Mulcair Outremont, QC
Mr. Speaker, the members opposite are so cynical that they have taken it upon themselves to approve projects that experts have turned down. Now, if a project is bad for the environment and human health, all it needs to go ahead is a nod from a Conservative minister. There is a reason that a quarter of a million people rallied yesterday for Earth Day.
Why are the Conservatives undermining credible, independent environmental assessment? How far will they go to keep their polluting pals happy?
The Environment
Oral Questions
2:20 p.m.
Ottawa West—Nepean
John Baird Minister of Foreign Affairs
Mr. Speaker, every year since coming to power, this government has increased provincial and territorial transfers by 6%. According to the budget that the Minister of Finance introduced, we will do the same this year, next year and the year after that. That is a very good thing for the health system.
With respect to environmental assessments, what we are saying is one environmental assessment per project. I would like the member opposite to stand and say why he will not trust the Government of Quebec to do a proper environmental assessment. Why will he not respect the joint responsibilities the federal and provincial governments have in environmental assessments? What does he have to complain about in working with the provinces constructively?

You've probably eaten a large, spicy meal at one time or another, only to end up with an upset stomach (or other digestive woes). The occasional bout of heartburn isn't something of great concern, but when it happens frequently, it's time to stop and take notice. Some common symptoms of digestive distress include:
Heartburn, that all-too-familiar burning sensation in your chest, throat and stomach, affects about 20% of Americans at least once a week. Sometimes called "acid indigestion," it occurs when stomach acid comes up from the stomach and into the throat. If this happens repeatedly it can result in esophagitis, ulcers, or strictures (narrowing of the esophagus) and can increase the risk of esophageal cancer. Regularly-occurring heartburn can also be a sign of a more serious condition like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
Indigestion, also called "dyspepsia," is defined as persistent or recurrent pain or discomfort in the upper abdomen. Indigestion is common and can affect people of all ages. But persistent indigestion is often the sign of an underlying problem, such as GERD, ulcers, or gallbladder disease.
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), defined as chronic reflux of stomach acid into the esophagus, affects 5-7% of the population. The two symptoms that indicate you could have GERD include persistent heartburn (two or more times per week) and difficulty swallowing (due to acid irritation that has caused the esophagus to become inflamed). The severity of GERD depends on the degree of dysfunction of the esophageal sphincter as well as the type and amount of fluid brought up from the stomach.
Peptic Ulcers are characterized by sores (ulcers) in the lining of the stomach or the duodenum (the first portion of the small intestine). No single cause of ulcers has been identified, but it is clear that ulcers are the result of an imbalance in digetive fluids in the stomach and/or duodenum. However, recent research suggests that most ulcers are caused by the corkscrew-shaped bacterium known as Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). A person can have an ulcer for sometime without having any specific symptoms. When symptoms occur they can include: a burning pain in the middle of the upper stomach between meals or at night, bloating, heartburn, nausea or vomiting. Ulcers can heal on their own, but it's best to get a medical evaluation and to review treatment options with your medical provider. Some people believe they can self-medicate by drinking milk for temporary relief. While milk does coat the stomach lining and provide initial relief, it can make an ulcer worse by stimulating the stomach to produce more acid, which further attacks the ulcer. Continued ›

SAN FRANCISCO -- That giant sucking sound you hear in Silicon Valley is the market value being expunged from tech stocks.
No one, it seems, is immune from an unforgiving market that just turned its ugly sights on the high-tech sector, which had been largely unscathed until this week.
Apple shares tumbled 5.5%, to their lowest level in two years on speculation the company may report less-than-sparkling results. Yahoo stock dipped after it posted a dip in ad revenue. Hewlett-Packard and Cisco Systems were off 3% and 2%, respectively. Just like that, billions of dollars in market value vanished.
No wonder Google, Microsoft and IBM may be bracing for potential hits today, when they report quarterly results after markets close.
"The sector has been under-performing since Apple (topped $700 last year)," says Scott Kessler, head of technology sector equity research at Standard & Poor's. "It has been laggard this year."
Apple, Oracle, Microsoft and PC-related companies have felt the sting of the market because each -- in one form or another -- has missed estimates this year, underscoring underconfidence in a squishy sector, according to Kessler.
What could be equally problematic is the impact on potential tech stock offerings at Twitter and Square, both of whom have IPOs in the pipeline later this year.
Financial markets are still wary of tech IPOs after the faceplant of Facebook's IPO a year ago, Kessler and others say.
"There were a lot of traditional tech IPOs in 2011 and 2012," Kessler says. "Then Facebook came along, and changed the calculus," he says.
"It was a lot of hype: A big pop and a big flop," says John Fitzgibbon Jr., owner and publisher of IPOScoop.com, explaining lingering concerns over the Facebook IPO, which was further undercut by a computer glitch at Nasdaq. "It was an overreaction on the part of first-time investors."
All in all, it could make for a white-knuckle season in Silicon Valley. If you don't believe that, listen closely.

An International Framework Agreement on Scientific and Technological Innovation and Regulation
Kenneth W. Abbott
Arizona State University
June 4, 2009
This paper - written for an edited volume addressing how law and policy can keep pace with highly dynamic scientific and technological innovation - proposes an international framework to coordinate and facilitate national responses to innovations that may create significant risks or pose social, cultural or ethical challenges, and to steer national regulatory responses toward greater effectiveness, efficiency, legitimacy and public-interest orientation. The paper suggests an international framework convention on innovation and regulation, which could be supplemented by specific protocols in particular areas, such as nanotechnology or synthetic biology, or on particular cross-cutting issues. It also suggests a set of institutions and procedures to encourage the production, sharing and assessment of early-stage information, steer national systems for science policy-making and regulation, and coordinate concrete regulatory responses. Of necessity, these institutions would operate at all three levels of global governance: inter-state, trans-governmental and transnational.

I think this website is one of the best places out there for people affected by hair loss
and I really appreciate Tom for offering a place for discussion and sharing his insights
and experience. Thank you, Tom !
To spread some hope that it is indeed possible to achieve stunning results in hair regrowth
by natural means I want to letyou know that a friend of mine has been able to regrow a really
big bald patch (NW IV-V) on his back completetely with thick heathy new hair.
What he did to achive this was a radical change in his food habits like :
_ strictly avoiding sugar, milk products, white flour and meat.
_ mantainin a strict alkaline diet consisting mainly of raw non processed food (legumes, fruits, nuts) and juices
_ 4 cl/day of fresh barley grass juice (he considers this as an essential ingredient in his personal "success formula")
This, of course, does not mean that everybody following this regimen will achive the same results -
but I think it is great to know from someone who achieved to regrow hair on a large area of his head
it shows that is at least not impossible . . .
My personal opinion that the more ingredients you add to your personal hair regrowth program
the more chances you will have to achieve positive changes. Any comments are welcome.
May it grow on all of you ! "Full"

Ask the Doc: Truvada and PrEP
This week, we take a look at Truvada and PrEP, pre-exposure prophylaxis, with EDGE Media Network's resident HIV expert, Dr. Joel Gallant, associate director of the Johns Hopkins AIDS Service at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. Send your questions on HIV healthcare to him at firstname.lastname@example.com
Is There a Vaccine for HIV Now?
Q: I heard there is finally a vaccine to prevent HIV.
A: Not a vaccine -- we're a long way from that. You may be referring to pre-exposure prophylaxis ("PrEP"), the use of antiretroviral medications by HIV-negative people to prevent infection. Truvada (the single tablet combination of tenofovir and emtricitabine) has just been approved by the FDA for that purpose. In clinical trials, people who took it every day were much less likely to get infected that those taking a placebo. Adherence was critical: some participants got infected even though they were randomized to the Truvada arm. Most had no detectable drug levels in their blood because they weren't actually taking the medication.
Truvada is well tolerated, but it can cause kidney problems, so regular laboratory monitoring is critical. There's also concern that people who get infected despite taking PrEP may develop drug resistance. So far that's happened only to those who had acute infection when they started taking PrEP. Clinicians must screen PrEP candidates for HIV and ask about symptoms of acute infection before prescribing Truvada.
There are many unanswered questions about PrEP:
1. Who will prescribe it? HIV providers know the drugs well, but are busy taking care of HIV-infected patients. Primary care doctors will need to learn how to prescribe PrEP, monitor for Truvada toxicity, and screen regularly for HIV infection, assuming they're willing take this on.
2. Who will pay for it? Even before FDA approval, Truvada was being prescribed by some doctors for prevention. It's usually covered by private insurance companies, whether you have HIV infection or not. For everyone else, coverage is less certain, and there are no government programs in place now to pay for PrEP for the uninsured. Gilead Sciences, the manufacturer of Truvada, will offer an assistance program that may help people who have no other way to pay for the drug.
3. Who should take PrEP? Will it cause people to have more unsafe sex? See my answer to the next question.
PrEP or Condoms: Do I Really Have to Choose?
Q: I'm a single, HIV-negative gay man. When I have sex, I try to use condoms if I'm on the bottom, but it doesn't always happen. I went to my doctor to ask about PrEP and made the mistake of telling him I might use condoms less often if I took it. He told me he couldn't prescribe PrEP unless I promised to use condoms. What do I do now...find a new doctor and lie?
A: Your doctor is expressing a commonly voiced concern: that PrEP will cause people to stop using condoms and have more unsafe sex. You were honest with him and admitted that was likely to happen in your own case. But like many gay men, you're already having unsafe sex. He should have recognized that you're at high risk, talked to you about PrEP, and then advised you that condoms are still a good idea. Instead, his message is that you can't take PrEP unless you either use condoms or lie to him about using condoms. The problem with this approach, besides the fact that it discourages honesty between patient and physician, is that people who consistently use condoms are already protected and don't need PrEP.
PrEP was developed because we need a form of prevention for HIV-negative people who don't consistently use condoms. Physicians shouldn't be moralistic, withholding an effective form of prevention from someone who refuses to behave according to their standards. They should focus on what's best for the patient, which in this case is to prevent HIV infection.
PrEP is a very expensive way to prevent HIV infection; Truvada isn't something we should be putting into the drinking water. You could give PrEP to people who always use condoms, or to the monogamous, HIV-negative partners of HIV-positive people who are taking effective treatment, but those people are at very low risk already. The only way PrEP will ever be cost effective is if we prescribe it to the people at the highest risk of infection. Gay men who are having unprotected sex with multiple partners are exactly the people who should be taking PrEP.
Should you change doctors? Maybe...unless showing him my answer causes him to rethink his approach.

By DUANE MERRELLFormer Emery High girls basketball coach
While driving home Saturday night, after a hard fought spirited end had come to the Emery High Girls Basketball season, I was reflecting on the success this years girls have had over the years. I thought that I would like to share with you the Emery County community thanks for what you have done and let you know how much these girls with your help have accomplished.
I met most of the team when they were in third grade. The good people of Emery County run a Junior Jazz program and since my daughter was in third grade, I was given the chore by my wife to coach one team. Between Castle Dale and Orangeville there were enough players to make one team of third grade girls. That team had many of this year's seniors playing on it. We played against Junior Jazz teams from Huntington, Cleveland and other towns and teams from Emery County. Most all of the other girls that are on the Emery High team were playing in this Junior Jazz league. Emery Junior Jazz and those who organize and direct it need to be thanked for the spark that they provided in these young girls. They began their love of basketball when they were young.
Several of the young girls were ball girls for the Emery High School team during those years. They had to quit when Utah High School Activities said that the insurance would not cover them if they were injured on the floor. They still had a love for the game and came to support older Emery Girls Basketball teams by watching them play.
The girls continued to play Junior Jazz until junior high where the junior high coaches began to work with the girls. Dave Thompson, Laura Barnett, Eric Mortenson, Lee Moss and others I am sure worked with the young girls of this years team. The girls still loved basketball. During the spring Dennis Pearson coached and the girls' parents would travel with the girls every Saturday for a couple of months to participate in the Color Country League. At that time the only team they could not beat was North Sevier (this year's 2A State champion). Emery girls did give North Sevier one of its two losses this season and did it on North Sevier's home court. The only other loss by North Sevier this season was to Canyon View (3A State Champs). The girls also beat North Sevier last year for the first time.
During the spring and summers these young girls also participated whenever given the opportunity to in basketball camps and tournaments. The high school girl's team sponsored many opportunities for the girls. During this time Coach Kevin Wilson from CNCC and Southern Oregon University and Coach Dexter Irvins from Dixie State College spent a week with the girls in our own Spartan Center. These two coaches came for about a 7-year span of time and the girls were always willing to participate. The girls played in several AAU tournaments in Salt Lake when they were 14; Ty Jensen coached them in the 15 and under championships that spring and the only team they couldn't beat drove themselves to the games.
The girls played in tournaments hosted by CEU most summers. They played in Snow College and SUU tournaments. They played in Dixie Spring tournaments, Summer Games and every time they were given an opportunity to play. The girls would come to the fitness center at Emery High in the summer and stay and play basketball after they had lifted weights. The opportunities made available by the school and community were enormous.
I know Coach Bob Wagoner gave many weeks every summer to these girls to travel with and coach them in summer leagues. Shanae Butler gave of her time also during the time she coached.
Coach Steven Gordon and his staff have done the same as they came into coaching this team two years ago. The summer tournament and leagues were still important to these new coaches.
The senior girls wanted to play in the Utah Summer Games during the past summer. They organized and put together a team with the help of parents and community once again. Shane Pitchforth took his turn to coach the girls. There are so many people who influenced and helped these girls.
When the seniors on this team were in ninth grade, Shala Pitchforth, Ashley Hansen, Tahna Merrell, Alexis Swasey, Natalee Hanson, Callie Seely all decided to tryout for the high school team. The impact that they made was tremendous. Emery had a heart breaking State Tournament game that year with Park City.
After some difficult officiating, Emery found the last five minutes of the game being played by three freshmen a sophomore and one senior. These same girls as ninth graders helped bring the team back to within one basket of winning and everyone knew they were going to be special. The sophomore year of the current senior's season was a shock. Two juniors who were going to be counted on did not try out.
In the end with sickness we lost another two junior girls we were counting on. Add Alexis Swasey's first knee injury there were only 14 girls left to play three games, sophomore, junior varsity and varsity competition. I remember asking the girls in practice after we had lost these players if they wanted me to ask some of the girls who had not come to tryouts if they would come back and help us. Ashley Hansen summed up the attitude of this bunch of girls.
Ashley said, "Coach, they chose not to play, we can do it with out them." Jodie Lundell had joined them as a ninth grader and we fought hard through a long season. Many times after a game I was told how fun it was to watch this group of girls. Most people said, "They play hard and never quit." It ended up being one of my favorite seasons because of the development in each player.
Natalee Hanson was rising as a star and the other girls had started to find their strengths and how to work with one another. The community, parental and school support was great. A team that was made up of 13 sophomores and one freshman had competed for a season; it was a tough year on a varsity level. The win loss column suffered but the girls and skills improved.
This year the varsity team only had six seniors left; I would like to thank those other seven sophomore players who helped us through that season two years ago. The girls played basketball because they loved it. They worked hard to get better and had great drive to be the best. You would find them in the concession stands at all boys games earning money that paid for trips and uniforms, the girls loved the game and it showed at all times.
Another strength that these girls offered was the ability to accept younger players to play with them with out destroying the chemistry of the team. It started with Jodie Lundell and then they added Camille Fehlberg, Meagan Pearson, Rachel Rasmussen all important parts of this years varsity team. These younger players became an integral part of the team.
The traditions that Emery High School Girls Basketball has built were started by players many years ago. This group of players continued to be good examples to future players. With Alexis Swasey being named an Academic All-State player and Ashley Hansen and Tahna Merrell and Alexis Swasey receiving Academic All-Region awards the tradition of being a great student athlete is being carried on. Some only see the outcome of a one-point loss in the championship game of the State Tournament.
In this game, winning or losing could have been as simple as a no call from an official. It could have been the phantom foul that never happened. It could have been the loss of a key player because of fouls. It could have been Natalee Hanson's knee injury. It could have been the confidence a player has at a given time based on coach's choices.
In the game of basketball there is always an excuse, someone to take the blame, but these girls understand that it was their work and desire that carried them; it was their game to win. They started fighting for this opportunity when they were young.
They would have been pleased to have won the game; it would have made us all happy. I just hope that they understand that the joy, the satisfaction they should have has come in the journey. You can see it has been a community effort, along with parents and coaches to help prepare these girls to excel in basketball.
I for one would like to thank you all, from Junior Jazz organizers, the fans at the games, cheerleaders, drill teams, all the parents and coaches who have worked with these girls.
Now as a parent I wish to thank the community, parents, teachers and coaches at all levels that have helped my daughter. I would like to thank those who helped build my daughter up, who helped her to gain confidence, those who showed her they cared about her in school and in sports.
I would like to thank her teammates; they lifted her up and helped her become a better person from the experience of being an Emery High School basketball player. For 15 years I worked with the girls basketball players at Emery High School. I can honestly say that I am a much better person because of them.

Nashville-Davidson, Tenn.
Nashville-Davidson is the state capital and second-largest city in Tennessee and is located in the north-central part of the state on the Cumberland River. It is coextensive with Davidson County.
During the winter of 1779–1780, James Robertson and John Donelson founded a settlement at Big Salt Lick by the Cumberland River at the present site of the city. They built forts on both sides of the river, naming one of them Fort Nashborough in honor of Francis Nash, a Revolutionary War general. In 1784, the town was named Nashville, and it was incorporated as a city in 1806.
Nashville became the capital of Tennessee in 1843 and was the seat of Davidson County until 1963, when it merged with the county to become Nashville-Davidson.
The city is a port of entry and an important industrial and commercial center serving the Upper South. Its economy is based on a number of industries, including automobiles, apparel, publishing, insurance, and banking. Health care services are the largest sector, but Nashville is best known for its music industry. It is a major recording center, especially for country music and is home to the Grand Ole Opry.
Nashville is home to several religious organizations and is a major tourist attraction and convention center. Its many institutions of higher education include Vanderbilt University, Fisk University, and the Tennessee State University.

Lucian the Martyr of Antioch
Document Actions
October 15
This Saint was from Samosata, the son of pious parents. He established a catechetical school in Antioch, and taught the correct doctrines of the Faith and made clear the parts of the divine Scriptures that were difficult to understand. He edited the Old Testament translation from the Hebrew tongue, and published it in an excellent edition, free from every heretical corruption and interpolation. He travelled to Nicomedia to strengthen the faithful there in their contests for Christ, and was accused before Maximinus, with whom he conversed openly. When he had made a defence of the Christian Faith, he was condemned to imprisonment where, in 311, he died of hunger and thirst.
Apolytikion of Hieromartyr Lucian in the Fourth Tone
Thy Martyr, O Lord, in his courageous contest for Thee received the prize of the crowns of incorruption and life from Thee, our immortal God. For since he possessed Thy strength, he cast down the tyrants and wholly destroyed the demons' strengthless presumption. O Christ God, by his prayers, save our souls, since Thou art merciful.
Kontakion of Hieromartyr Lucian in the Second Tone
We all gloriously acclaim thee with hymns, O Lucian, thou most brilliant luminary, who wast first illustrious in asceticism and then shonest forth in contest: Intercede unceasingly for us all.

The first time Todd Richards tasted creamy Chicken Artichoke Bake, at a friend's party in West Allis, Wisconsin, he recalls, "Everyone just loved it and went for seconds."
Always on the lookout for great party fare, Todd called his friend for the recipe the next day. "I couldn't believe how easy it was," he says.
"It comes together in no time flat, and it's perfect on a buffet when entertaining."
But the moist and delicious casserole was so high in fat and sodium, Todd felt a little guilty serving it.
"If someone could just figure out a way to lighten up this casserole without losing the comforting flavor," he wrote us, "I'd really like to hear about it."
Our makeover team began by replacing some of the heavier ingredients, such as the soup and mayonnaise, with smaller amounts of reduced-fat or lower-sodium counterparts. Because lighter products don't always lend a creamy texture, the team used a thickened milk mixture and yogurt to make up the difference.
Next, cubed chicken breast took the place of white and dark chicken meat for a lighter dish our home economists could approve. The result? Makeover Chicken Artichoke Bake has around a third fewer calories and about a fourth the original's fat grams per serving. Now that's one guilt-free entree we can all celebrate this season!

Business Managers Must be Smart About Cloud
By Yaldahhakim-Oracle on Jul 26, 2013
Recently we posted a three part series on the new Dynamic Markets Research report- Cloud for Business Managers: Opportunities and Challenges. We introduced some key considerations for organizations who are moving their applications to a SaaS based environment. For those of you who still have questions or are looking for additional insights this is for you…
Everyone talks about the benefits of cloud but who really achieves them? Where do you start? What should you look for?
Let's take a closer look at several cloud opportunities for you to create benefits for your organization.
1) To Empower the business, cloud applications must work together
This is important for several reasons:
- A complete and integrated cloud application is necessary for business managers to visualize information through a consolidated lens. Wouldn't it be better if you could more easily share data appropriately across departments, make better decisions and align with the overall business strategy?
- Get a complete and holistic view of your business
- Roll out solutions faster without reliance on IT and allow your business to focus on innovation
2) Business Managers Require anytime, anywhere access
- In today's world of social and mobile, cloud is the backbone that enables new levels of inter-connectivity and real time access for business, its brand and the pulse of its customers.
-Social and mobile anytime access is critical for organizations to transform how employees, and customers share and use information
3) Where your data is and who has access to it may surprise you
- Needless to say, security is the top concern with organizations considering moving their business critical applications to the cloud. This is an area where adequate research should be done and any potential cloud provider should be evaluated.
- Avoiding information siloes is also important when it comes to security. Customers want to be assured that their information is safe and protected when they do business with you. It is difficult to keep track of compliance with each department running their applications with a different cloud provider, with different processes and controls.
-It is critical to understand what security services your cloud provider will provide and what regulatory and compliance mandates they adhere too. Different lines of business will have different requirements depending on their industry, geography and customer base
So you get the picture. In order to drive orderly innovation for your business and excel in the marketplace, you'll need to consider a complete, modern, flexible and secure cloud that is ready to move when you are.
Check out this new infographic and read the full Dynamic Markets Research Report, commissioned by Oracle.

Through the Looking Glass: Status Liability and the Single Member and Series LLC Perspective
Carter G. Bishop
Suffolk University Law School
October 8, 2008
Suffolk University Law Review, Vol. 42, p. 459, 2009
Suffolk University Law School Research Paper No. 08-32
Until the release of Revenue Ruling 88-76, only two states adopted limited liability company legislation, Wyoming in 1977 and Florida in 1982. In 1975, Alaska rejected adoption of the first limited liability company legislation based on concerns regarding the tax classification of a limited liability company. When those concerns were resolved in Revenue Ruling 88-76, all fifty states and the District of Columbia adopted legislation by 1996, only eight years later. However, Revenue Ruling 88-76 did not resolve whether a single member limited liability company should be classified as a sole proprietorship or a corporation. That matter was not resolved until 1997 with the release of the check-the-box regulations. Again, within a few years all states had amended their limited liability company legislation to permit a single member limited liability company. Further still, while Delaware adopted series limited liability company legislation in 1996, the check-the-box regulations did not address the classification of a series within a limited liability company. Since 1996 only six other states have followed suit. The 2008 release of Private Letter Ruling 200803004 classifying a series in the same manner as any other business entity under the check-the-box regulations signals a potential amendment of those regulations to embrace the series. If so, once again, all remaining states might be expected to provide for a series. These enormous events raise important transparency questions regarding where disregarded entities exist for state law purposes. Stated another way, what is the state of member status liability in these forms. As this Article explores, the tax classification and state statutory amendments have given rise to a proliferation of these forms while failing to address fundamental state law liability concerns that separate owners from the obligations in these forms.
