Best Buy Ever!
"These shoes are the most amazing pair of shoes I have ever bought! Shortly after receiving these darlings I put them to the ultimate test, wearing them for over 12hrs without wearing them in. After 15hrs of wear through school and to the club, my feet remained comfortable and blister free. I would recommend these shoes to everyone and anyone looking for a cute pair of booties."

Chic Booties
"Obsessed with these shoes. I wanted a wedge heel to wear out in the winter, especially when it might be more dangerous to wear stilettos. I love these booties. Black suede is nice, love the fringe for that extra detail and they are very comfortable. I am usually a size 9 and that is what I purchased. I wore them with tights one night and I felt like I had a little extra wiggle room, but nothing a pair of ankle socks can't fix. Would 100% recommend them."

People cant believe they are from DSW, one person thought they were couture! what?!!! all in all great buy and perfect shoe to add personality to any outfit! :)"

Through a highly expressive language, rich in primitive instincts, and an interesting dialogue with nature, the environment and own experiences, Giuseppe Gavazzi has brought to life wood and stone in a particular and unique way. Through the sculpturing of human figures, the Italian artist has managed to transmit and evoke a whole bunch of different feelings and emotions that go from hope to wonder through many others.
Giuseppe Gavazzi was born in France but raised by Tuscan progenitors that ended up influencing tremendously his whole work. His constant contact with nature as well as his father's job (coal miner) provoked on him a special predisposition for wood and stone, as well as an outstanding passion for the tactile and chromatic. His creative pieces are a continuous translation of reality, which is often treated with irony and a touch of innocence.
From such a magical composition arises an inspiring exhibition, "La figura rivelata"(The revealed figure), from the 6th of May to the 31st August: 25 sculptures in wood, bronze and stone crafted in the latest years of the Italian artist's work. An exhibition held in Fiesole's Archaeological Area for the 65º Estate Fiesolana. A surprising route round the antique Roman theatre, where one faces large human figures, mainly feminine, isolated or in a group, never in movement, but always dynamic in their interior vitality. All of them willing to transmit aspects that give Gavazzi's world a human dimension, especially an ethic one combined with a precise sense of every day life, thus, popular.
A captivating exhibition which can be easily combined with a nearby stay at the best luxury hotel in Florence, Il Salviatino, hosting some of the author's creations. A perfect compound to enjoy Tuscany.

Horton Upset with Rome over Text-Message Apology
Thomas Drance
August 25 2011 08:58AM
According to Horton, Aaron Rome duffed the apology for this hit, which, concussed the Bruins winger in game three of the Stanley Cup Finals. Rome sent Horton a text to apologize, and that didn't sit well with Horton - who has called-out Rome for his flimsy apology. Says NESN in their report about the incident today:
But Horton's mood darkened a bit when asked if Vancouver defenseman Aaron Rome had ever reached out to him after delivering the late hit that knocked Horton out of the final four games of the Cup Final and also earned Rome a four-game suspension to end his postseason, as well. "Just through a text message," Horton said.
"If it was me, I wouldn't have thrown a text message someone's way," Horton added. "I'd have a little bit more respect to actually make a phone call."
So now the question is, did Aaron Rome handle his apology poorly? From a PR perspective - yes, he did.
Aaron Rome isn't particularly well known around the league, so for many fans their only impression of him was this devestating, dirty hit. Never mind that anyone who has watched Rome play for any length of time knows that he isn't a head-hunter - Rome's late hit, and his presence in a Canucks uniform means he's a dirty player, who probably dives, possibly eats children and definitely can't back anything up. So to be called out further for the hit - hell, for casual fans to even be reminded that it happened - means that Rome didn't handle the situation well.
Greg Wyshynski asked if "Rome owes Horton an apology" on Puck Daddy today, and seems somewhat undecided on the matter:
Does Rome owe Horton something beyond the apologies he's given? I suppose that's up to Horton. Although turning the tide of the Stanley Cup Final with his reckless hit could be seen by some as thanks enough.
Though it is up to Horton, there are a lot of other factors at play. Wysh compares Rome's apology-fail to past apologies for dirty play, including Steckel-Crosby and Chara-Pacioretty. Chara for example went to great lengths to apologize to Pacioretty - but the two players history, and the singular ghastliness of that particular play, makes that situation unique. Also this particular incident happened during the Stanley Cup Final - and sending a text message while the series is still going on, then apologizing for it over the phone later would seem appropriate to most rational folks.
Aaron Rome didn't follow up, clearly - and that's a straight up weak play on Rome's part. Still, I have some sympathy for Rome in this. It makes sense to me that Rome's unprecedented suspension, and the disingenuous way the Bruins "doctored" Rome's disciplinary hearing (before flying out the "severely concussed" winger for game seven) would colour his perception of the incident, and how apologetic he felt about it. But still, that was a bad hit, and the sight of Horton lying prone on the ice was as difficult to watch as just about anything we saw in hockey last season. If you hurt a guy that badly playing the game, pick up the damn phone.
Aaron Rome should be feel sympathetic towards Horton . That hit had unfortunate results ! That hit was standard practice for the last 100 years that hockey has been played . Scott Stevens made a carreer out of hitting the opposing players that same way . You are taught in minor hockey how to protect yourself from being hit like that . From my point of view the ice caused the brain injury . Mr. horton got caught in a vunerable body position and payed the price . Maybe all player contracts should have a waiver clause , cannot be held responsible for damaging opposing players well being during competition . That was not a dirty hit !! Horton in a VULNERABLE POSITION WATCHING HIS PASS WAS THE ACTUAL CAUSE OF THIS UNFORTUNATE INJURY
This I find rather ironic considering neither Boychuck or the Bruins organization even mentioned any concern or whatever over Mason Raymond who ended up hurt a hell of a lot worse than Horton. I may not have been a "dirty" play but Raymond didn't do it all by himself, he had some help! So on the classless scale not so sure who the winner is.
@Fred Smith
hope you understand that the hit was LATE, that's why it was considered dirty, stevens hit players WITH the puck...
apparently for most canucks fans if the player is in a vulnerable position, it's fair game to hit them in the head.
i don't know how you jusitify a concussion as being better than a fractured vertebrae... where concussions have long term and unknown side effects
@Thomas Drance
it was illegal to hit horton late... which is why he got the penalty to begin with
ask probert about concussions... no doubt that horton recovered quicker than raymond but the longterm ill-effects of a concussion far extend past december, would you not agree?
August 26 2011, 09:55AM
Sorry, I entered this to the wrong post, so here we try again. With feelings running as high as they were at the time, I think that a text apology was appropriate, especially since the Bruins were milking every incident that occurred to paint the Canucks in as negative a light as possible. At worst, the Rome hit on Horton was mis-timed rather than malicious. For me there is an element of "I'm telling mummy!" in Horton's whine. Get over it.
August 27 2011, 01:50PM
Come on now, "devastating hit"? Really? Horton did not spend more than a couple of hours in hospital -- kudos to the Boston med staff for the drama of the stretcher as opposed to the truly cringeworthy skate by Mason Raymond off the ice -- Horton was interviewed the next day in the park with his family, and travelled with the team the day after. So to say this was a "devastating hit" is really stretching the bounds of credulity. Horton was basically useless after the TB series and probably shouldn't have been playing anyway. Is there some kind of NHL rulebook that states the amount, size or description of an apology? I bet there isn't. Unless you have insight into how players interact and whether there are always apologies or not, this is just a really silly supposition to make that Rome owed Horton anything at all outside of the text message he sent. There are all kinds of mitigating factors at play that you and the rest of the general public know nothing about. Horton just comes off as a pansy whiner in this article. Rome and the Canucks paid the price for that late hit -- not a dirty hit, just a late hit that would never ever have resulted in a suspension like that in the regular season, and the Bruins came out the winners. My mom would be writing exactly the same thing as I just did.

Legend has it that Thomas Jefferson returned from a trip to France with America's first waffle iron. A century later, street vendors were selling hot waffles slathered with molasses or maple syrup.
The bake time and yield will vary with this recipe depending on the type of waffle iron you use. Some waffle irons use up to 1 cup of batter and others use just 1/2 cup.
Way too many waffles? Freeze them! Wrap cooled waffles in aluminum foil or plastic wrap and freeze up to 1 month. Unwrap waffles and reheat them in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes or pop them in the toaster until crisp.

Gambling on Booth Hasn't Paid off for the Canucks
Jeff Angus
March 07 2013 02:33PM
David Booth has no trouble beating defenders. Beating goalies on the other hand...
(Photo by Gerry Thomas/NHLI via Getty Images)
David Booth's tenure with the Canucks has been largely forgettable to date. He has sustained a few injuries, gone through a revolving door of linemates, and suffered from a lack of offensive production.
His underlying numbers (advanced stats) have been pretty good, for the most part, but they have yet to translate into any sustained tangible success (he has a single assist in seven games in 2013). Will Booth break out soon or is he just a shooting% outlier with below average skills for a top-six forward? Is he trade bait? What will the Canucks do with him this summer as they look to cut some salary to fit under the reduced cap?
There are a lot of questions surrounding Booth right now, and not a lot of answers. We'll get into it further after the jump.
Booth's production in 2011-12 - 16 goals in 58 games with the Canucks - was adequate for a top six winger, especially one who received little power play time. Booth played just just 1:46 per game last season with the man-advantage, and a measly 28 seconds per game this season. To expand on that a bit further, Booth averaged less than 15 minutes of ice time per game with the Canucks in 2011-12. Ice time isn't the only precursor to production (giving Dale Weise 20 minutes a night won't allow him to score like he did in the Netherlands during the lockout), but it is an important factor. It is hard to put points on the board while sitting on the bench - though Ryane Clowe has tried!
In Booth's best offensive season in the NHL (2008-09 – 31 goals and 60 points in 70 games), he averaged close to 17 minutes of ice time per game including 2:46 per game on the man advantage).
However, Booth was largely invisible down the stretch and in the first round playoff series against the Los Angeles Kings. In that series against the Kings, he looked like a deer in the headlights. The increased pace of the game seemed to be a step or two ahead of him. The Canucks acquired Booth for his scoring prowess, but also for his size, too. Booth isn't "tough" in the sense that he will go out of his way to look for hits or fights, but he plays in traffic, takes the puck to the net hard, and doesn't back away from battles along the boards.
The team lacked a "big" winger before getting Booth. They have since acquired Zack Kassian, but he has a few years to go before finding the consistency to be a top six forward in the NHL. And fans should have every reason to be excited about the arrival of Nicklas Jensen, who should get a long look at a roster spot this fall. Jensen plays a similar game to Booth (big, powerful), but he is more well-rounded offensively (and a lot younger and cheaper, too). The downside with relying on prospects to produce is that development is often nonlinear (look at Edmonton).
The Canucks aren't a team that gives young players ice time that they don't earn (and even then, they like to "over develop" their prospects, something that Gillis has borrowed from Ken Holland in Detroit).
As mentioned above, Booth's underlying numbers have been good. He drives possession forward, and he's good in his own zone. Patrick Johnson took a more in-depth look at Booth's performance back in February (you can read that here).
But stats only tell part of the story. Booth has yet to really "fit in" with the Canucks.. This is of course my opinion, and I am sure it is not shared by everyone out there including potentially a few other Army writers. Booth has looked pretty good as of late (I didn't get to watch the San Jose game, but it sounds like Booth had a solid performance). Still, the cohesion that the team had during the 2010-11 season won't be reached again any time soon and as time goes on, we will really reflect on how special a season that really was.
To my eyes Booth often looks like he is trying to do too much, and that leads to not much getting done. Hockey sense has never been his strongest suit (not a knock, but he relies more on power and speed to create offensively). The Canucks were expecting more goals and more points from him, though and I wouldn't be surprised if his name surfaces in trade rumours (likely in the summer – I don't see Vancouver moving him at the deadline this year).
So is Booth a buy out candidate? His cap hit isn't awful for a second line winger (it is probably the going rate for one on the open market), but for a team that needs to clear some salary, he is right up there with Keith Ballard as a player to be moved or bought out if necessary.
Did Dale Tallon know something that the Canucks didn't back in 2011? It took Booth a while to get back to playing his aggressive, tenacious style after the brutal concussion he suffered from a late Mike Richards hit. Florida didn't think he could get back his 30-goal form, so the moved him. At the time, they were criticized for trading a young forward for two veterans (Mikael Samuelsson and Marco Sturm), but Tallon was and is operating on a budget and he did clear Booth's salary off of the books.
With a creative linemate, I have no doubts that Booth can score 20 goals. And with a regular power play shift, I could see that number closer to 25. But that won't come in Vancouver, or at least not with the current roster makeup. Kesler is a shoot-first center. And Newell Brown (who runs the power play) tends to load up the top unit and give them the bulk of the ice time, which limits man advantage opportunities for Vancouver's other skill players.
Perhaps Jordan Schroeder could one day be a good fit for Booth, but is he ready to fill that roll now? And is Vancouver prepared to pay Booth to play on the third line? Perhaps the team toys with the idea of Ryan Kesler on the right side with those two? Schroeder has a lot of work to do before he could be considered a second line center, and Kesler is still out for a while with his broken foot, so that idea is at best extremely optimistic.
The next few weeks and months are very important for Booth. He is playing pretty well (his game in Calgary last Sunday was his best of the season by far), but he has little to show for it. Sadly that's become something of a trend for Booth who is staring at his fifth straight season with a sub-100 PDO.
At some point Vancouver will have a decision to make with him. Do they wait it out and hope he gets on track? Does the puck start to bounce his way, like the underlying numbers indicate? Do the Canucks look t acquire a playmaking winger or center to pair with him? Or do they look to trade him or buy him out?
booth only needs about 20/20 to be a good deal at his contract. his pace exceeded that and at this point he's rocking a 2.33% while playing extremely well. his sh% has been low for a forward for his career but 2.33% is "beer leaguer mysteriously transported to the NHL" level and we know he's better than that
dollars to donuts says that the canucks don't buy him out and act offended when someone asks if they ever considered it (as they should!)
March 07 2013, 04:48PM
Great article as usual.
I haven't been a fan since he arrived. He lacks basic common hockey sense IMO. He can't make a pass if his life depended on it, he doesn't have the ability to read his linemates. And the most scary, he played with the Sedins for a few games last yr and produced NOTHING. How is this possible? Well its' not. Byron Bitz was producing with them.
His underlying number are ok, though I still debate that he's good defensivly. The problem is it's not translating on ice. Guy hasn't scored a good in 11 games, 1 in last 22 games. He was invisible in the playoffs.
I hope they can find a way to offload him this offseason. I'd rather see Jensen in that spot, or a UFA they sign this summer. As you mentioned, there's a consistency problem with rookies. But with Booth there is also a consistency problem - and he's eating $4.2M of cap space. I'd rather take the risk on a rookie who you can start to mold.
Great read...
Lets get a good nutrition article up soon...maybe a diet for the 'every man'?
You lost me at "But stats only tell part of the story. Booth has yet to really "fit in" with the Canucks.."
If stats aren't telling the story then what is? Booth seems to get along with his teammates and they all stand up for him. I think he dropped the gloves early in his tenure here and was kind of accepted after that...
I'm confident that with Booth that the longer he plays with this group of Canucks (Sedins Bieksa Hamhuis Burrows Kesler) the more prolific his role will become.
Um, Canucks nation has been saying this about Keith Ballard for 3 years now. He's very popular in the dressing room, drops the gloves - but still isn't worth the cap space he eats.
With the cap going down, Canucks can't wait till Booths contract expires to see if he 'fits'.
Booth doesn't kill penalties, doesn't eat tough mins like Higgins, doesn't run a PP. His only value is scoring goals. That's why they brought him in. He hasn't scored this season, or last playoffs. He's scored 1 goal in last 22 games. I don't care if he's best friends with Daniel Sedin, Gillis needs to think long and hard about Booths value in Van.
I think they need to try and trade him for a 3C. Not sure if possible, but worth a shot. Jensen would be able to play in Van in a 3 line winger or 4th line winger role and bring just as much value as Booth - with a much smaller cap hit.

Craig MacTavish has the title of vice-president of hockey operations in his third go-round with the Edmonton Oilers. I don't think it'll be more than a season or two until he's general manager, and I'm betting he'll be good at it.
I can't put my finger on an exact over/under as to when the former Oiler captain and coach, hired this summer to work alongside president of hockey operations Kevin Lowe, will take over from current boss Steve Tambellini, but I see it happening. I don't have any inside information on this, it's just a gut-feeling. I'm guessing I'm not alone.
I know Tambellini just got a contract extension – we haven't been told what the term is – but I can see one more season out of the playoffs, which is more of a probability than a possibility, being enough to trigger a shuffle at the top with Tambellini moving out and MacT moving in.
For me, this isn't so much a dump-on-Tambellini bit, which is like shooting fish in a barrel around here, as it is recognition of ties that bind, and those ties between the Oilers and MacTavish, starting with owner Daryl Katz and Lowe at the very top of the food chain, are undeniable.
As far back as their playing days with the Oilers and the New York Rangers, Lowe and MacTavish shared what-ifs about what it might be like to coach and manage a team together. They've already done that, of course, but my sense is there's an encore coming.
Even if the Oilers show substantial improvement this year and push for a playoff spot, which seems more than reasonable, under Tambellini, I think it'll play out that MacTavish will be calling the shots, in tandem with Lowe, by the time the Oilers are actually back in the playoffs. What, 2013-14?
Tambellini is an outsider and the history of this organization – the Once an Oiler, always an Oiler mantra – suggests that'll always be the case. Outsiders, be it Pat Quinn, Tom Renney, Scott Howson, Rob Daum or Ralph Krueger, come and go. Insiders, like Lowe, MacTavish, Kelly Buchberger and Steve Smith, come and go, then come back again. That's how it goes.
MacT as GM? It's a matter of time.
Aside from the NHL and NHLPA settling into to hammer out a new CBA, which is obviously no small matter, there is precious little else going on around the hockey world. One need only look at the headlines on national websites like TSN and Sportsnet to see that.
. . . "Owen Nolan to host fishing, hunting show" I'd rather watch Steve MacIntyre host a show about hunting bears with nothing but his bare hands.
. . . "Canucks' Malhotra to participate in Vancouver pride parade" Political statement or does Malhotra have something to tell us?
. . . "Jets promote Simmons to assistant GM" Now, if we're talking Gene Simmons or Richard Simmons, you've got a news item. Sadly, no. The Jets have promoted Larry Simmons. You know, Larry Simmons, right?
. . . "Report: Tiger's ex-wife dating San Jose Shark" Apparently, Elin Nordegren is boffing Sharks defenseman Douglas Murray. Glad to see Elin tearing it up a bit after bashing in Tiger's teeth with a three-iron (she must have liked the look).
I think it's time NHL teams accept that non-MSM bloggers are here to stay and start issuing them press credentials and granting access to players.
"Hey, Darcy, I'm doing a story on goons and knuckle-draggers and I'd like to talk to you . . ." Or "Taylor, I think the Oilers made a big mistake burning the first year of your ELC in 2010-11 and I'd like your thoughts on the big picture I'm painting here . . ." Or "Nuge, screw the boxcars and PPG, your QUALCOMP/real Corsi/something something numbers prove beyond a doubt Gabriel Landeskog deserved the Calder Trophy. Whaddaya say?"
Move aside, spineless MSM fartcatchers. Now the tough questions can be asked and the truth finally be told. I'd pay to see it.
. . . The Bronte 5000 pegs Jordan Eberle at 29-38-67 for 2012-13. And yes, the software has been updated since I had everybody on the Edmonton roster except Laddy Smid scoring 40 points in the Lucky 13 Pool two seasons ago.
. . . Buchberger has been an assistant coach through the tenures of MacTavish, Quinn and Renney. Now, he'll ride shotgun for Krueger. To borrow from an infamous text message, "Bucky isn't going anywhere."

Adam Selipsky of Amazon Web Services (AWS) describes the origins of AWS and the role modular services play in a cloud-oriented business model.Interview conducted by Vinod Baya, Bud Mathaisel, and Bo Parker
Adam Selipsky is vice president of Product Management and Developer Relations for Amazon Web Services. He oversees developer support, product strategy, demand generation, evangelism, and marketing communications. Before joining Amazon Web Services in 2005, Selipsky served as a vice president in several areas for RealNetworks. Selipsky was also a partner at Mercer Management Consulting, specializing in business strategy for telecommunications and technology companies.
Selipsky earned his bachelor's degree in government from Harvard College and his M.B.A. from Harvard Business School.
In this interview, Selipsky recounts the genesis of Amazon Web Services and how making internal capabilities accessible in the cloud can reveal new customer value.
PwC: How did Amazon.com come to develop AWS [Amazon Web Services]?
AS: There's this myth that we created AWS to sell underutilized capacity at Amazon.com, but this had absolutely nothing to do with why we built AWS.
It turned out we'd been working on this for a decade without knowing it. We were building a series of Web sites for Amazon.com and its international affiliates, which had to be incredibly scalable, highly reliable, and extremely cost-effective. We learned that to do those three things simultaneously is highly nontrivial. Any two of those three actually becomes a much easier challenge.
At the beginning of the company, a lot of big iron and expensive software were purchased, and a lot of it wasn't very scalable. We tried to buy things that were supposedly super resilient, but guess what? Even the super resilient things break. Even if they don't break very often, they are going to break, and so you must architect around the fact that they're going to break.
Given the scale at which we operate and the fact that the retail business had to be a very efficient cost structure, we spent years and lots of top engineering talent figuring out how to do this well, because there was no AWS out there to use. So we started very early, before a lot of other companies were working on it, looking very intently at things like service oriented architecture.
AWS is about bringing that deep technological expertise, which we developed over a decadelong period, to a new market. We started working on this in earnest probably in late 2003. The first services came to the market in early 2006. Our storage service, S3, was the first of the infrastructure services in March 2006.

Rogero PS3 Buttons Layout Changer v1.0
Hello, This is a small application for the PlayStation 3 that can change the default Buttons Layout (Cross or Circle being the default Enter/Accept Button).
It is useful for the JAP PS3 model owners to make "X"/Cross the Default [Enter/Accept] Button like the USA/EUR PS3 Models.
Download Link: Rogero PS3 Buttons Layout Changer v1.0
- It is currently compatible with PS3 FW Version 3.41 & 3.55 (other versions can be supported too if needed).
- It checks for the PS3 FW version automatically and can detect it even if a spoof was applied.
- Many errors checking routines are applied before changing any parameters.
I wrote it for my personal use, I do have a JAP PS3, and I thought of sharing it because it may help other users too who wants to change their JAP PS3 Buttons Layout in a simple/quick way.

NHTSA — Visibility/Wiper Problems
CarComplaints.com Notes: Say what you will about the styling of the Ford Edge, but the bottom line is owners seem to love this vehicle. That is, of course, except in the case of it's dangerous, worrisome and unexplained issues with random engine stalling.
Our data suggests an early defect trend, as owners of the 2007-2008 models have started posting their accounts of what happens when you're driving down the road and the engine just stops. Some at high speed, some at low speed but always a random shutdown of the engine, electrical and power steering.
Time will tell if this becomes a widespread issue, but there's no drying the seriousness of the problem. With that in mind, we're flagging the Edge with our "Beware of the Clunker" rating until the situation improves.

By Enoch Mobisa
One, two, three….twenty five we counted! I remember how difficult it was for me during my preparatory school days when I painfully counted the number of vultures lying on the ground in Maasai mara's Siana group ranch area. Everyone suspects pesticide poisoning!
We were alerted on Friday that there has been yet another poisoning incidence in the Mara by Predator aware officers, our conservation partners on the ground. We immediately responded by driving there to witness and try establishing the possible cause of the deaths. On Sunday Morning, led by Mr. Sammy Nkoitoi, we got to the vulture massacre site and found a local police officer and Maasai Mara rangers already there. Together with these guys, we formed a team and after taking samples, we decided to gather the carcasses and destroy them. KWS Veterinary officer and the research team in Segenani joined us later on and took part in destroying the carcasses to avoid any chances of cross contamination. The samples have been taken for testing to establish the actual poison. Initially we had counted twenty one but as we set out to gather them, the local community members who were with us discovered four more, increasing the number to twenty five. A pink substance, which we suspect was used for poisoning was spilt on the ground next to the wildebeest carcass which was probably what the vultures fed on. Probably a predator may have fed on the wildebeest carcass as it was very well eaten; all the bones shattered beyond what the vultures would manage. According to the local people, it is suspected the poisoning was intended to kill the hyenas or lions that take people's livestock. But on this occasion there was no particular conflict. It is not clear who did it.
The chief led the local youths to condemn the act and requested for support for awareness creation and education to mitigate any future poisoning. They all promised to keep monitoring the situation and incase they find any information leading to the establishment of the truth or any more deaths, they would inform us.

Canada cruises to victory in NORCECA opener
OMAHA, Nebraska (September 17, 2013) - Jaimie Thibeault of Sylvan Lake, Alta., produced 14 points to lead Canada to an easy 25-14, 25-9, 25-14 victory over St. Lucia on Tuesday to open the NORCECA (North and Central America and Caribbean) Continental Championship women's volleyball tournament.
Lucy Charuk of Delta, B.C., added eight points and Marisa Field of Kelowna, B.C., seven. Canada scored nine service aces as well led by Kelci French of Okotoks, Alta., with three.
"It was a nice way to work our way into the tournament for sure and just focus on ourselves,'' said Canada's team captain Brittney Page of Vernon, B.C. ''That was our biggest goal going into this was just to respond every time and focus on ourselves and what we've practiced."
Canada is in Group C with St. Lucia and Puerto Rico. On Monday, Puerto Rico defeated St. Lucia in straight sets. Puerto Rico and Canada will battle for top spot in the Group on Wednesday night. The first place team gets a bye to the semis while second place must play in the quarterfinals on Thursday.
"We were a little nervous the whole game, especially the younger players,'' said Canada's head coach Arnd Ludwig. I think we've put that behind us and now we're looking forward to the next match. I think our block is usually a little better. We did a few things with the block that I didn't like. I think our serving and attack can improve a little as well."
In Group A, Costa Rica dropped to 0-2 losing a five-set heartbreaker to Trinidad and Tobago (1-1). T&T lost Monday to the Dominican Republic. In Group B, the U.S. swept Mexico on Monday. Cuba played the Mexicans later Tuesday.
The NORCECA competition occurs every two years. In its last appearance in 2011, Canada finished sixth overall. Canada is ranked 23rd in the FIVB Senior world rankings.
The winner of the tournament automatically qualifies to the 2013 FIVB Grand Champions Cup in Japan, Nov. 12 to 17. The U.S. team won the event in 2011 in Puerto Rico, and they are currently ranked #2 in the world – the top ranked team at this event.
Canada's Roster (listed with team and hometowns)
Opposite Hitters:
Lisa Barclay - University of British Columbia (Brandon, MB)
Brittney Page - Barbar D'X-Elles (Belguim) (Vernon, BC)

Skip to comments.Obama backers wont pull disgusting TV ad
Posted on 08/09/2012 6:11:40 PM PDT by Free ThinkerNY
Supporters of President Obama refused Thursday to pull a TV ad suggesting that Republican Mitt Romney caused a woman to die from cancer, a commercial thats raising new questions about possible coordination between the Obama campaign and an independent advocacy group founded by a former White House staffer.
You know, in the past when somebody pointed out that something was inaccurate, campaigns either pulled the ad they were embarrassed, Mr. Romney said Thursday on Bill Bennetts Morning in America radio show. Today, they just blast ahead.
But officials at Priorities USA, a super PAC founded by former White House spokesman Bill Burton, showed no signs of canceling the advertisement that began airing this week. Even some Democrats say the ad finally crossed the line into the realm of the underhanded, with its strong inference that Mr. Romney has a dead womans blood on his hands.
The ad features steelworker Joe Soptic, who lost his job and health benefits after Mr. Romneys Bain Capital closed a steel plant in Kansas City, Mo., in 2001. He describes how his wife developed cancer and died, implying her death was Mr. Romneys fault.
It turns out that Mr. Soptics wife died in 2006, five years after the plant closed. And Mrs. Soptic had her own health insurance even after her husband became unemployed; she lost her insurance when she, too, lost her job.
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtontimes.com ...
The mask is off and the true sleazy Hussein identity shows itself.
The mask is off and the true sleazy Hussein identity shows itself.
Dont think Romney is mad enough yet, just sayin... His answers are terrible
If they air that ad,Romney needs to answer it with a counter-attack ad that tells the truth about what happened-and then expound on how tawdry and pathetic 0bama is for focusing on this tripe instead of the business at hand-getting us out of the deep doo-doo we're in.
Good! They are doubling down full Alinsky...after the truth has gone far and wide.
I don't think it's doing what they think it's doing.
Let the Obama supporting PAC spend more money running the ad. It shows how dishonest and nasty they are. This may help even the dumbest Obama supporter to realize what a sleazy slime ball Obama is.
good, the longer it goes on, the more people find out it's all a lie, the more people feel it's disgusting and the more people who either don't vote or vote for Mitt. By the end of next week, Odungo will lose even more points in all the skewed polls
Of course he won't. Commie/Socialists have known that if you repeat the Big Lie enough times-—it becomes the Truth.
How do you think people believe such stupid things like two men can get "married"?
No sane person would have even considered such an illogical concept (impossible)-—prior to the 1990's-—by the time they had several generations
go through their massive brainwashing machine and normalizing evil conditioning and watching TV shows for hours-—which reinforces "Sodomy is Good" and other Christian hating shows.....
Association (BF Skinner) does the trick-—Marxism is all about "feelings'——never use the intellect and Reason.
Of course obama isn't going to pull the ad, it appeals to the jerry springer-judge judy crowd out there. Recruiting the ignorant masses is the democrat way. If you can't reason with them, then manipulate their emotions.
Looks like Romney's chickens have come home to roost.
The Killer Romney!
I went on Priorities USA FB page today and people were giving them heck! Even self-proclaimed democrats. That ad is backfiring bad!
Well we won't stop putting out the truth about it.
Politico is reporting that Soptic was on Air Force One...
Oh my gosh! Obama is even worse than I thought he would be and that's saying a lot!
sue them in California - unfair business practices...
There's no limit to the depths the RATS can reach. And apparently no consequences, either.
when you're garbage.....you're garbage
May as well have fun with it. Obama's people aren't going to back off, and Romney is only going to mildly complain. Romney backers should just get "Killer Romney" tee shirts printed. Maybe everybody can at least get a laugh out of it. The way Romney's going that's about all we're going to get.
I went on Priorities USA FB page today and people were giving them heck! Even self-proclaimed democrats. That ad is backfiring bad!
I hope that once they do pull it,,someone reposts that horrible thing on youtube to remind those on the fence how wretched and sleazy the Obama crew is (as IF anyone needed reminders)

None of that matters to an Obama Democrat. And it doesn't matter much more to your average "independent" voter. If you bring up facts in any counter argument, you get (blink, blink) blank stares. These people can't absorb a fact unless it's sugar-coated with comedy (Jon Stewart, Colbert, SNL).
This should backfire. Even CNN pointed out it was BS.
GREAT - here in TX a similar ad by dewhurst against cruz was reported to swing 3-5 % toward Cruz. I think people are getting sick of the Holier than thou message by Team Obambi. This will be a nail in the coffin.
Use Hussein's words, Mitt.
They don't "blast ahead", they "double down".
Talk down to him, Mitt. Tell him "doubling down" only works in Vegas when a gambler knows what he's doing.
And that Hussein only knows hate and allegiance to our country's enemies.
Use all their buzzwords against them.
My husband told me that this is the PAC Bill Maher funded a million dollars. He heard it on the Jason Lewis radio show. Now it all makes sense as Maher is a sewer-level rat.
What is your statement supposed to mean? You agree with this crap?
"Looks like Romneys chickens have come home to roost."
Um, the ad lied. So what chickens?
Golly, wasn't Candidate Obama the guy who, throughout the 2008 campaign, said he wanted to make the political tone in Washington more positive?? Stop all the negative attack ads??
Why doesn't Team Romney run a sound bite of Obama back then, and compare it with his viciousness today?
Romney's campaign or his super PACs should answer in kind:
An ad featuring Grandma slicing up her can of dog food. Have her explain how her retirement fund was gutted when the Food Stamp President gave away her Government Motors bonds and stocks to his banker friends and the Unions. Have her weep and pray that the can will last her through the week.
Have a mother weeping at the funeral of her son, a border agent, who was killed by a Fast and Furious gun in the hands of an illegal immigrant working as a drug runner and informant for the DOJ.
Have a poor family sitting at the dinner table eating scraps and sitting in the cold because they have to save every penny to pay their taxes and pay their electric bill which subsidizes green energy companies that provide campaign donations to the Food Stamp President.
There is just too much good stuff to use. You need not worry about actual cases or people because you can explain it away as using "composites of real people" as the Food Stamp President does so often.
This is Fast a Furious comes to campaign financing. The idea is to kill off Super Pacs by having such outrageous ads that the public demands their end. To the advantage of the Rats.
Think about this.
Romney is the guy who lost to the guy ( McCain ) who lost badly to Obama. SO the Rinos choose to run him again.
Romney has run for office 22 times in his life. He has LOST 17 of those times.
I think you can see where we're headed.
Ramp up the fake birth certificate ads.
Ramp up the 19 different social security numbers Barry has.
Ramp up the closet Muslim ads.
Ramp up fast and furious to take away 2a gun rights ads.
Talk about the national debt cliff Obama's throwing us, our kds, and grandkids over. Literally show an actor potraying him throwing people in these categories off a cliff. But not before several huge IRS thugs empty their pockets.
Cmon jerkwad repub campaign managers get off your timid fat asses and fight like you want to win.
If I had the Money I would offer a Reward for Anyone on this site who Is TRUTHFULLY SURPRISED AT THIS.
Now Come on Folks,I dont want to read that people are shocked,shocked at this.
IT FREAKIN WORKS EVERY damn time it is tried.WHY SHOULD THEY TAKE IT DOWN?
If they had any shame they would not have run the Ad for Crying out loud,lets stop Crying like two year olds, we are in a Battle for our Country and we dont have anyone on Our side,its time for a winning strategy,Someone who is being paid Millions to give advice is going to Surface,I hope, to save the day,Mighty Mouse!
Good, because this is backfiring. The fact that Stephanie Cutter canceled her Sunday TV appearance on ABC tells you all you need to know about the response to these ads.
I say you should fight fire with fire. Mitt should take his white gloves off and jump in the fight. How about the SOCIAL SECURITY number nobama has? The heroin? The travel to Pakistan?
Prove obummer to be the FELON he really is!
I totally agree with you his responses are awful. But I'll give you the reason why Romney isn't angry; because he's a typical politician with moderate views (at best.) The guy doesn't have any real passion for the issues. To Romney, Obama is just doing what politicians do to get elected. Kind of like passing a mandate for health care as governor and then running a campaign as President to over turn a national mandate.

Interview by Gene Zasadinski
GZ: In your new book, Capitalism 4.0, you argue that three periods of capitalism have come and gone and a fourth is on the horizon. Can you elaborate on that?
AK: The capitalist system started in the middle of the 18th century. The first period was one where economics and politics were completely separate and government had no economic responsibilities except to raise a minimum amount of taxes to wage wars. That period came to an end in the 1930s because the system had outlived its usefulness. Social change, the First World War, and the Great Depression destroyed the economic basis of that system. So, capitalism reinvented itself. Capitalism 2 lasted about 40 years, going through various sub-versions, starting with the New Deal and continuing on through the war economy and the postwar Keynesian golden age. A crisis of inflation that began in the late '60s, coupled with oil shocks and the Vietnam War, brought this phase of capitalism to an end. But again, the capitalist system reinvented itself, and from 1979, with the election of Margaret Thatcher in Britain and then of Ronald Reagan in America, another version of the capitalist system, Capitalism 3, arose.
GZ: So the differences among these phases of capitalism were essentially different dynamics between government and markets?
AK: That's right. In the first phase, government and markets were completely separate. Then from the 1930s onward, there was a belief that the market had failed and that government had to be brought in to fix it. After about 40 years, the opposite view took hold. This time the conclusion was that government is always wrong and that the market is always right. That was Capitalism 3.0.
GZ: So, what does Capitalism 4.0 look like?
AK: The essential feature of this new phase will be a much more skeptical attitude, both toward the market and toward the government, and this is quite empowering. To recognize the fallibility of both political and economic institutions doesn't mean everything is going to collapse. What it does mean is that both these sets of institutions have to undergo improvements. If something's fallible, if something's imperfect, by definition it can be better, but also, they have to be balanced against one another. We can't rely solely on the market or the government. We have to create a system of checks and balances, where the market prevents the government from becoming too powerful and the government prevents the market from going off on a tangent and making the sort of catastrophic mistakes that we've seen particularly over the last ten years.
GZ: Clearly, Capitalism 4.0 sounds like a distinctive phase, yet the laissez-faire and the Reagan–Thatcher phases seem pretty much the same, or are there important differences?
AK: That's a very interesting point. The ideals, if you like, are the same, but, actually, if you look at the Capitalism 3 period, the 35 years from the mid 1970s until 2010, you had an infinitely greater role and responsibility for government than existed when the role of government consisted of nothing more than running a standing army. The 1930s taught us that it was impossible for a capitalist market economy to work for an extended period without some degree of government intervention, at least in monetary and fiscal policy. The idea that government could just completely get out and allow markets to stabilize themselves was no longer plausible. So I think even in the most radical periods of Thatcher and Reagan, there was never really any pretense of going back to a market economy that was totally unregulated and totally without government intervention.
GZ: The previous phases of capitalism seemed to provide the right solution at the right time. Will Capitalism 4.0 do the same?
AK: I think if the attempt to reconcile politics and economics, to make them work together rather than working against each other, if that is seriously attempted, then I think it probably could work, but I may be wrong about that. It may be that there is an intrinsic incompatibility, if you like, between democratic politics and the requirements of the market system in the modern world, and, more likely, even if it could work, it may be that people aren't going to try it. I think the biggest risk to the world, not just to America or Europe, is to continue with business as usual. If that happens, another version of "new" capitalism, such as state-run capitalism, could prevail.
GZ: But aren't there basic flaws in state-run capitalism?
AK: Of course. There are basic flaws in every system. It's a question of how big the flaws are and how they are dealt with. There's no question that a totally state-dominated market system, where you have central planning and a bit of markets on the side, is doomed to failure. But there certainly is a case to be made for some government intervention in private markets.
GZ: What's that?
AK: Government intervention and private markets have always coexisted because of private property. Private property exists only if you have a government to protect it. So the idea that somehow economics and politics are completely independent has never been valid. But new relationships between government and the private sector are needed. In some cases this will mean a bigger role for government, but in other cases it will mean a smaller role. In other words, government is going to get bigger and smaller at the same time, and there's nothing contradictory about that.

Bath ran five unanswered tries past Worcester on Saturday for an impressive 32-9 Premiership win at the Rec.
Bath ended a run of four Premiership games without a win as they ran five unanswered tries past Worcester on Saturday for an impressive 32-9 victory at the Rec.
Tries from Peter Stringer and Rob Webber, allied to Stephen Donald's solitary penalty, gave the West Country outfit a 13-9 lead at half-time.
Worcester's response before the break came through three Danny Gray three-pointers, but second half Tom Biggs and Horacio Agulla (twice) scores sealed a dominant bonus-point victory for Bath.
Although both sides have enjoyed a decent start to the campaign, their domestic form have tailed off in recent games. Just one point separated them going into this encounter, but it was Bath that set their stall out early on.
Stringer, who signed on a short-term loan last month, burrowed over from close range for his third try since joining from Munster.
Despite being under the cosh in the opening exchanges, Worcester managed to hit back through Gray's penalty.
However, the driving the maul was proving particularly fruitful for the hosts and, after Dean Schofield had been yellow carded, Webber touched down.
Donald missed the conversion for the second time and that allowed the Warriors to gain a foothold in the game as their stand-off added successive three-pointers.
The home side's fly-half was finally successful from the tee as Bath went into the break 13-9 ahead.
It was the visitors that controlled the initial stages of the second period and Dave Attwood was consequently sin-binned. But Worcester couldn't take advantage and paid for their profligacy when Kyle Eastmond sent Biggs away to extend the lead.
Agulla then secured the bonus-point when Eastmond's floated pass found the Argentine winger and he did the rest.
The Midlands' outfit finished the game with 13 men when Craig Gillies and David Lemi were yellow carded, and Agulla completed the scoring with his second try.
The scorers:
For Bath:
Tries: Stringer, Webber, Biggs, Agulla 2
Cons: Heathcote 2
Pen: Donald
Yellow cards: Attwood
For Worcester:
Pens: Gray 3
Yellow cards: Schofield, Gillies, Lemi
Bath: 15 Nick Abendanon, 14 Horacio Agulla, 13 Kyle Eastmond, 12 Matt Banahan, 11 Tom Biggs, 10 Stephen Donald, 9 Peter Stringer, 8 Ben Skirving, 7 Carl Fearns, 6 Francois Louw, 5 Dave Attwood, 4 Dominic Day, 3 Anthony Perenise, 2 Rob Webber, 1 Charlie Beech.
Replacements: 16 Ross Batty, 17 Nathan Catt, 18 Kane Palma-Newport, 19 Will Spencer, 20 Mat Gilbert, 21 Chris Cook, 22 Tom Heathcote, 23 Semesa Rokoduguni.
Worcester: 15 Errie Claassens, 14 Josh Drauniniu, 13 Alex Grove, 12 Jon Clarke, 11 David Lemi, 10 Andy Goode, 9 Jonny Arr, 8 Matt Kvesic, 7 Sam Betty, 6 Neil Best, 5 Dean Schofield, 4 James Percival (c), 3 John Andress, 2 Aleki Lutui, 1 Matt Mullan.
Replacements: 16 Ed Shervington, 17 Ceri Jones, 18 Rob O'Donnell, 19 Craig Gillies, 20 Jake Abbott, 21 Paul Hodgson, 22 Danny Gray, 23 Josh Matavesi.

Eric Schmidt Suggests Peace With Apple is Coming, Dismisses Windows Phone
Jason Mick
December 5, 2012 12:30 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Schmidt also expresses frustration with patent wars; disdain for Windows Phone
When it comes to Eric Schmidt,
Google Inc. (
) CEO and his company's arch-nemesis Apple, Inc. (
), the ties that bind are almost as strong as the ties that separate.
I. Victims of Smartphone War are the Little Guys, Says Schmidt
During much of Mr. Schmidt's time atop the Google throne; he also
served on Apple's board of directors
. The two companies had a fruitful relationship and Mr. Schmidt
was close friends
with late Apple CEO Steven P. Jobs. That relationship fast deteriorated when Google decided to launch Android, a Linux based smartphone platform that would eventually come to heavily outsell Apple in the smartphone market in unit sales. Mr. Jobs
expressed a feeling of "betrayal"
at the decision, which not only spoke to his
zealous feelings of ownership
of the smartphone market, but also his strange relationship with Google and Mr. Schmidt.
In an interview with the
Wall Street Journal
Mr. Schmidt speaks optimistically that the pair can work out their differences with respect to patent litigation, commenting:
[Google's relationship with Apple has] always been on and off. Obviously, we would have preferred them to
use our maps
. They threw YouTube off the home screen [of iPhones and iPads]. I'm not quite sure why they did that.
[But] the adult way to run a business is to run it more like a country. They have disputes, yet they've actually been able to have huge trade with each other. They're not sending bombs at each other.
I think both Tim [Cook, Apple's CEO] and Larry [Page, Google's CEO], the sort of successors to Steve [Jobs] and me if you will, have an understanding of this state model. When they and their teams meet, they have just a long list of things to talk about.
Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt is not concerned Android will be hurt by the patent wars.
[Image Source: The Sydney Morning Herald]
Mr. Schmidt says that both Apple and Google are "doing fine" and that
neither side
has been able to gain ground in the patent war, much like the entrenched empires of the First World War. He says that the real "loser" in the patent wars are small startups, which might look to create an innovative news smartphone operating system as Android VP Andy Rubin did when his startup made what would later become Android back in the middle of the last decade. With all the lawsuits and junk patents, Mr. Schmidt argues such "garage" innovation is simply impossible in today's legal climate.
II. Former CEO Addresses Criticism, Says Microsoft is no Threat
The Google executive admits that his company long lagged Apple in terms of financially compensating developers. He remarks, "Google Play [Google's app store] and the monetization just started working well in the last year, maybe the last six months. The volume is indisputable, and with the volume comes the opportunity and the luxury of time."
As for the perennial question of whether Google
will or should favor new acquisition Motorola Mobility
over its third-party Android partners, Mr. Schmidt says that would be a "terrible mistake". He says that when the deal was announced he personally flew to meet with executives at South Korea's Samsung Electronics Comp., Ltd. (
) -- the world's largest smartphone maker and foremost Android adopter -- to assure them that there would be no favoritism.
As for Microsoft Corp.'s (
Windows Phone
; Mr. Schmidt was dismissive of the operating system. He blasts, "I have not used it, but I think that Microsoft has not emerged as a trendsetter in this new model yet."
Eric Schmidt argues Microsoft's Windows Phone is no "trend setter".
Mr. Schmidt expressed hopes that
current antitrust investigations
Google's involvement in various markets
would wrap up. He says he has no interest working for the Obama administration in a government post, saying Google has always been his "home".

Service Canada
Oral Questions
2:50 p.m.
Kellie Leitch Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development and to the Minister of Labour
Mr. Speaker, we are committed to providing Canadians with the best possible service. Service Canada is modernizing its EI processing systems to ensure that Canadians have the best possible service.
While this Conservative government continues on its strong direction, reducing taxes and creating jobs for Canadians, we urge the opposition to stop obstructing this great plan to create efficiencies and provide better services for Canadians.
Service Canada
Oral Questions
2:50 p.m.
Claude Patry Jonquière—Alma, QC
Mr. Speaker, as if that were not enough, this week, the President of the Treasury Board described Public Service Alliance leaders as self-serving. He criticized them for not offering any constructive recommendations with regard to the $4 billion in cuts this government wants to make.
Is that this government's tactic? Is that how it goes about finding solutions to return to balanced budgets: blame everyone else and try to shirk responsibility?
Instead of attacking public servants, will this government take action to help the Canadians who have to deal with unacceptable delays at Service Canada?
Service Canada
Oral Questions
2:50 p.m.
Parry Sound—Muskoka
Tony Clement President of the Treasury Board and Minister for the Federal Economic Development Initiative for Northern Ontario
Mr. Speaker, I already said that we are trying to work with the unions to ensure there is an action plan that works, but the union leaders are saying no. They are saying no to Canadians. They are saying no to the fact that it is important to have more jobs in our society. They are saying no to the decisions that work for Canadians. We have said yes.
Oral Questions
2:50 p.m.
John McCallum Markham—Unionville, ON
Mr. Speaker, according to section 26 of the Financial Administration Act:
no payments shall be made out of the Consolidated Revenue Fund without the authority of Parliament.
We have now learned that the government transferred over $100 million from the green infrastructure fund to other departments, without even bothering to inform Parliament.
Why are the Conservatives breaking the law?
Oral Questions
2:50 p.m.
Denis Lebel Minister of Transport
Mr. Speaker, the transfer of the $170 million was clearly indicated, as stated in Industry Canada's 2011-12 Report on Plans and Priorities.
This money was transferred to achieve important government priorities. The government and the Treasury Board gave all the necessary approvals.
Oral Questions
2:50 p.m.
John McCallum Markham—Unionville, ON
There was no approval by Parliament, Mr. Speaker. That is the point.
The law states that "no payments shall be made out of the Consolidated Revenue Fund without the authority of Parliament". We know the government transferred $50 million from the border infrastructure fund to spend money on gazebos in Muskoka without Parliament's approval. Now we have learned it transferred more than $100 million from the green infrastructure fund to other government departments without parliamentary approval.
Why does the government continue to think that it is above the law?
Oral Questions
2:50 p.m.
Denis Lebel Minister of Transport
Mr. Speaker, all Treasury Board approvals for the transfers were obtained. The transfers were referenced in various parliamentary reports beginning last fall. In particular, they were detailed in the 2011-12 reports on plans and priorities and again in 2010-11 departmental performance reports. This is nothing new.
Oral Questions
2:50 p.m.
Irene Mathyssen London—Fanshawe, ON
Mr. Speaker, Canadian seniors built this country, but the government is letting too many older Canadians live in poverty. An HRSDC study found that, despite being eligible, more than 125,000 seniors are not receiving the old age security benefits they deserve. The government has known this since 2009. It has known about the problems in the program.
Why has the government not acted to ensure that all Canadian seniors receive the benefits to which they are entitled?
Oral Questions
2:50 p.m.
Kellie Leitch Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development and to the Minister of Labour
Mr. Speaker, our government has made great progress in providing for seniors. We have increased the GIS and appointed a minister to ensure that we have enhanced opportunities for seniors. We have expanded the new horizons fund to encourage seniors to mentor students and their family members to get involved in their communities.
This government understands what seniors have done to build our country. We will continue to support them.
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Lysane Blanchette-Lamothe Pierrefonds—Dollard, QC
Mr. Speaker, the government keeps going on and on about what it has already done in order to justify turning its back on seniors in desperate need.
Figures from the task force on financial literacy completely contradict what the Parliamentary Secretary just said. Every year, $1 billion in old age security benefits goes unclaimed. Furthermore, 70% of seniors who do not receive benefits have an income of less than $10,000. They are spending their golden years in poverty.
Is the government trying to save money at the expense of seniors, by refusing to pay them their pensions?
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Alice Wong Minister of State (Seniors)
Mr. Speaker, our government continues to take strong action to support seniors. Since 2006, our government has provided billions in annual tax relief for seniors and pensioners, removed hundreds of thousands of seniors from the tax roll completely, introduced the largest GIS increase in a quarter century, and made significant investment in affordable housing for low-income seniors.
What did the opposition do? It voted against all of these measures.

David Wilks Kootenay—Columbia, BC
Mr. Speaker, Canadians gave our government a strong mandate to keep our streets and communities safe. Part of that means ensuring that a strong and effective RCMP continues to provide policing services in communities from coast to coast to coast. The red serge of the RCMP is a national icon and my constituents want to ensure an RCMP presence in their communities for years to come.
Would the Minister of Public Safety please update the House on the status of negotiations with contract policing jurisdictions?

Vic Toews Minister of Public Safety
Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the member who, I might note, is a former member of the RCMP.
Canadians gave our government a strong mandate to keep our streets and communities safe. That is why our government is committed to assisting the provinces in offering strong and effective policing across the country.
I am proud to report that we have arrived at an agreement in principle with the provinces. This is a good deal for provinces that would strike an appropriate balance between giving police the tools they need to do their jobs and ensuring fairness for Canadian taxpayers.
Phone Calls to Mount Royal Constituency
Oral Questions
December 1st, 2011 / 2:55 p.m.
Geoff Regan Halifax West, NS
Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives have admitted the phone campaign of lies to the citizens of Mount Royal.
The government House leader has actually said he is proud of these unsavoury tactics that seem to be straight from the era of Watergate.
Would the Prime Minister heed the calls of commentators, even Conservatives, apologize for this outrage against democracy, shut down his dirty tricks team and call on Elections Canada to investigate?

The Speaker Andrew Scheer
I did not hear anything in that question that fell under the administration of government. It seems to be a question of a third party. I just heard a question about a political party.
The hon. member for Trois-Rivières.
