Victory in Europe Day
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Carmen Provenzano Sault Ste. Marie, ON
Mr. Speaker, today we mark the anniversary of victory in Europe. For almost six years Canadians fought valiantly on battlefields around the world to preserve the democratic ideals that are Canada.
The road to victory was long and arduous. More than one million men and women enlisted in the forces; over 55,000 were wounded, and more than 45,000 of our soldiers made the ultimate sacrifice.
As we pause today to remember those who fought and died on the fields of Europe, our thoughts are also with our armed forces serving in Afghanistan and around the world in order to preserve those same ideals.
To the veterans of World War II, to our current armed forces and to all our veterans, today we remember what they have done and still do for us. All Canadians are truly grateful.
Technology Partnerships Canada
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Canadian Alliance
Brian Fitzpatrick Prince Albert, SK
Mr. Speaker, at yesterday's industry committee meeting the minister credited the technology partnerships Canada program with rewarding innovation.
However, according to government reports Ontario and Quebec received 86% of all technology partnership funding, Alberta received less than 2%, New Brunswick received less than 0.5% and Saskatchewan received absolutely zero. The government obviously believes there is no innovation in Saskatchewan and this is why it continues to shaft Saskatchewan as well as Alberta and New Brunswick.
Ernest & Young recently completed a report on the Alberta technology sector. It is growing rapidly and it is healthy. However its single biggest problem is raising investment capital. Yet technology partnership has limited Alberta to less than 2% of the funding.
TPC is a failure because it favours one region of the country over another.
Mental Health
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Janko Peric Cambridge, ON
Mr. Speaker, as this is mental health week I want to draw attention to the terrible cost of depression. Depression is the leading mental health illness, costing our economy over $13 billion a year. Some one million Canadians suffer from depression. This illness is devastating to individuals, families and society.
With the current pace of life and rising demands on workers in our knowledge based economy, depression is expected to rise. The WTO estimates that in 20 years depression will be the second leading cause of disability behind heart disease.
It is time corporate Canada and governments recognized the impact of depression on the domestic and global economy. We must all work to intensify research and treatment efforts to better reflect the impact of this debilitating illness.
Emergency Preparedness Week
Statements By Members
May 8th, 2002 / 2:05 p.m.
Judi Longfield Whitby—Ajax, ON
Mr. Speaker, our country is renown in the world as one of the best places to live and we want to keep it that way.
Recent world events, as well as disasters here in Canada, have raised awareness among Canadians that they are not immune to the risk of having their lives affected by emergency situations, whether natural, technological or deliberately caused by individuals who wish to advance their own agendas.
Therefore it is a pleasure to rise in the House today in support of Emergency Preparedness Week. The theme for this year's week is "Keeping Canada safe--Emergency preparedness begins with you."
The Government of Canada works in co-operation with provincial and territorial governments, municipal governments, the private sector and non-governmental partners such as volunteer agencies, to ensure that Canada is prepared to respond and recover from virtually any type of emergency situation. To mark this special week a wide range of activities will take place throughout Canada to raise public awareness and encourage our citizens to be prepared for emergency situations.
I ask all members of the House to encourage their constituents to take time during Emergency Preparedness Week to learn what they can--

Rose-Marie Ur Lambton—Kent—Middlesex, ON
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to inform the House that today is World Red Cross Day. This day celebrates the humanitarian work of millions of Red Cross volunteers and staff worldwide.
The guiding principle of all Red Cross work is the rehabilitation of people suffering the consequences of war, violence, natural disaster and malnutrition. Every year countless numbers of victims of conflict and disaster are helped by and through the Red Cross.
I ask all members to join me in recognizing the Canadian Red Cross Society for its work, and in wishing a very successful World Red Cross Day.
Victory in Europe Day
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Canadian Alliance
Leon Benoit Lakeland, AB
Mr. Speaker, after five years, eight months and six days, the war in Europe ended with Germany surrendering unconditionally in a schoolhouse at Reims, France. May 8 was declared the official Victory in Europe Day, or VE Day, by the allies exactly 57 years ago today.
Canadians demonstrated courage and valour throughout the war in places such as Dieppe, Ortona, Juno Beach and many others. Over one million Canadians served in the war, 45,000 gave their lives and 55,000 were wounded.
Today we remember that the liberation of Europe was brought about by many of our young men who fought so bravely for the freedom we all enjoy. Fighting thousands of miles from home, in places they had never been, many of their bodies remain in the sacred grounds of war cemeteries throughout Europe. It has been said that "dying for freedom isn't the worst thing that can happen, being forgotten is".
I pray that none of us will forget.
Human Rights
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Irwin Cotler Mount Royal, QC
Mr. Speaker, the decision by Burma's military dictatorship to release Nobel peace laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, an international symbol of freedom and democracy who has been under various forms of arrest for 12 years, is welcome. While the release might presage a new dawn, the test, as Aung San Suu Kyi put it, is whether the dawn will move very quickly to a full morning.
The indicators of that necessary transition which should guide international domestic policy include: the protection of Aung San Suu Kyi's unconditional freedom of movement and political action; the immediate and unconditional release of more than 1,000 political prisoners, including 17 elected members of parliament and one time student leader Min Ko Naing who remains in solitary confinement; an end to the practices of torture, forced labour and forced relocations; respect for freedoms of expression, association, movement and assembly and the right to a fair trial; the protection of the rights of ethnic and religious minorities; and an end to government media censorship.
Release should be seen less as a breakthrough for democracy than a test for democracy.

Réal Ménard Hochelaga—Maisonneuve, QC
Mr. Speaker, as the member for Hochelaga—Maisonneuve in the House of Commons, I had occasion to take an interest in the fight against organized crime. Therefore, it is with great interest that I watched the series The Last Chapter , which impressed me by its realism and its educational content, if I may use that expression, as it impressed many television viewers in Quebec.
This series shows from within not only the internal rules of a criminal biker gang, but also what potential candidates must do to become members. The work of actors Roy Dupuis, Marina Orsini, Michel Forget and Dan Bigras is truly exceptional, and it gives authenticity to a well written text, which, even though it is fiction, seems very real.
Through this television series, Radio-Canada and CBC viewers were able to familiarize themselves with the jargon of criminal bikers, and learn about criminal activities in Quebec and in Canada, from 1997 to 2000.
I thank screen writer Luc Dionne, director Richard Roy and producer Claudio Luca for this fabulous series that will remain an unavoidable reference for anyone interested in—

Bernard Patry Pierrefonds—Dollard, QC
Mr. Speaker, I would like to pay tribute to L'@venue-Centre Internet communautaire, located in the riding of Hochelaga—Maisonneuve. L'@venue is a training centre designed to help young people find work by learning about computers and information and communication technologies.
In 1998, as the federal government official representing Industry Canada, I had the pleasure of meeting the whole team when the centre officially opened its doors. Thanks to the energy of the team members, this project has achieved tremendous success.
In the fall of 2000, L'@venue inaugurated a network of four community access centres to the Internet, thus allowing access to new information and communication technologies, at an affordable cost and on highly performing work stations.
The funds obtained from the federal government through the Internet community access program were properly managed, and the results show it.
Congratulations to the whole team at L'@venue for its exceptional contribution to our community.
Softwood Lumber
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Canadian Alliance
Philip Mayfield Cariboo—Chilcotin, BC
Mr. Speaker, the Liberal government has been refusing to launch a specific action plan to defend tens of thousands of Canadian workers from losing their jobs and homes because of the Canada-U.S. softwood lumber dispute.
The government says it is afraid the American lumber lobby will accuse them of subsidizing the industry. This same lobby is a handful of wealthy lumber barons working to pump up the price of wood in the United States. They will lose the case that Canada is bringing against them at both the WTO and NAFTA.
Because the U.S. is using the wrong criteria to judge the threat posed by Canada's lumber, the government should go ahead and protect Canadian workers and their families instead of running scared. The longer the government sits on its hands, the higher the risk that individual provinces will try to work deals with the U.S. saying that Ottawa is making no progress and they cannot wait.
The international trade minister is risking the solidarity of Canada's position by letting softwood lumber communities suffer. The government does not care about the pain, suffering and loss being imposed upon forestry workers throughout British Columbia and Canada.
Jim Bradley
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Walt Lastewka St. Catharines, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise in the House of Commons to acknowledge and congratulate my provincial counterpart, Jim Bradley, who will celebrate his 25th anniversary as an MPP on Thursday, May 30.
Jim was a teacher with the Lincoln County Board of Education from 1967 to 1977 and a member of the St. Catharines city council from 1970 to 1977. He served on the St. Catharines transit commission, the public library board and the Niagara district airport commission. Jim worked tirelessly for his constituents since he was first elected to the Ontario legislature in 1977 and after 25 years he is one of the longest serving MPPs.
He presently serves as the environment critic for the official opposition and over the years he has served in numerous roles, most noteworthy as the minister of environment from 1985 to 1990 in the Liberal government of David Peterson. The people of St. Catharines have been extremely fortunate to have someone as dedicated as Jim Bradley serve on their behalf.
As Jim's first campaign manager and MP I wish to congratulate him on his exceptional efforts over the past 25 years. May he have many more.
Workplace Safety
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Alexa McDonough Halifax, NS
Mr. Speaker, tomorrow marks the 10th anniversary of the Westray mine explosion that killed 26 miners in my home province of Nova Scotia. Our hearts remain with the families and communities whose lives were permanently changed by that workplace tragedy.
Today we mark a double tragedy. It is sad and shocking that 10 years later there is still no federal legislation to hold corporations and their directors criminally responsible for knowingly putting their employee's lives at risk.
With 800 Canadians killed on the job every single year those are 8,000 lessons that have gone unlearned. For every worker killed on the job devastated loved ones are left behind.
How many thousands more must die before the government heeds the voices of injured workers and grieving families?
Every single member of the House should pledge today to fight for the families of the Westray miners and all others who suffered similar losses to ensure that their loved ones did not die in vain.

Gus's Model Garage
You asked for it, you got it! A classic Car Talk puzzler to chew on. Ok, so you didn't exactly ask for it but - we promise you'll like it. So while the Puzzler heads to Le Mars, Iowa, in celebration of National Ice Cream Month (we hear they've even got an ice cream museum, who knew?) here's an oldie but goodie. With sprinkles on top.
RAY: This came from a guy named Bob Cofield from cyberspace. He says,
'I am disappointed that you have never paid tribute to the great and venerable patron saint of automotive diagnosticians, Gus Wilson. Gus was the proprietor of Gus's Model Garage, whose stories appeared in Popular Science Monthly several years ago, and this is stolen right from the Gus Wilson archives.
'It seems that there was an intense but friendly rivalry between the volunteer fire departments of two nearby towns, Jeffersonville and East Norriton. Pride was at stake as their rivalry climaxed each year in the Fireman's Competition at the county fair. So closely matched were the two fire brigades in skill and experience that the preliminary hook and ladder events were virtually a tie, leading up to the final showcase event of the race of fire trucks.' There's going to be a race, got it?
TOM: Got it.
RAY: 'Twenty laps were to be raced counterclockwise around the quarter-mile dirt track at the fair grounds. Both brigades drove identical pumpers, scrupulously maintained and adjusted to peak performance. The rules required that they be set to factory configuration, fully loaded and equipped, and the crews identical in total weight to the nearest ounce.'
TOM: Wow!
RAY: 'The Jeffersonville team had come away disappointed for four years in a row, having lost the final event by the closest of margins each time. They appealed to Gus to provide them with some small competitive advantage. Gus took a look at the high-wheeled pumpers and the dirt track and mused while he knocked the ashes from his pipe. He then stepped forward, and without tools, without violating the rules, and without even opening the hood of this fire truck, he makes a quick adjustment that enables Jeffersonville to take home the trophy that year.'
What did he do?
Think you know? Drop Ray a note!

"Future Trends" Conference Renews Conversation on Medicaid
Services for Rhode Islanders with intellectual and developmental disabilities, collaboration between government agencies and care providers in focus at unique forum keynoted by Congressman Patrick J. Kennedy
October 24, 2012 [Providence] Impending changes to Medicaid at both the national and state level stand to impact services and care available to Rhode Island citizens who have intellectual and developmental disabilities. For this reason, on Tuesday, October 23 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Warwick a group of non-profit service providers hosted "Future Trends: Opportunities for Collaboration in the Developmental Disabilities Community," a gathering of the most innovative and knowledgeable people in Rhode Island: governmental leaders, advocates, and community members.
In an impressive spirit of collective purpose, the 130 attendees who participated in the conference examined pressing challenges, discussed effective solutions, and initiated dialogue that will contribute to positive change in the state.
Rhode Island First Lady Stephanie Chafee, Senate President Teresa Paiva Weed, Secretary of Health and Human Services Steven Costantino, and members of the General Assembly participated in "Future Trends," which featured a keynote address by Congressman Patrick J. Kennedy, "Equality of Healthcare," and a second address, "Emerging Trends in Medicaid," by Connie Garner of United Cerebral Palsy in Washington, D.C.
Congressman Kennedy's address emphasized the importance of expanding health care, especially for those who face the most serious challenges to health, while making sure that "we're all treated equally…and integrated into the overall system with dignity." "If you're about personalized care," the Congressman urged, "then you know you can't put a one-size-fits-all on a community with challenges that are well known and well understood." In Rhode Island, he reminded attendees, "we have a difficult problem [in terms of the current economic climate] but we have the right principles fighting for us."
"Future Trends" marked an important step in the collaboration of private, non-profit service providers with state and federal decision makers to shape the future design of supports for individuals with developmental disabilities. The forum provided an opportunity to discuss current features of Medicaid on the federal level, emerging trends in the states, potential federal changes to the Medicaid program, and "Living RIte," a demonstration project already underway that concerns persons who are "dual eligible" for both Medicare and Medicaid.
"We are positioned very well in this state because of being at the forefront with projects and grants," said Christine Gadbois, Vice President of Seven Hills Rhode Island, one of the provider groups. Her comment came during a panel discussion with Behavioral Health, Developmental Disabilities and Hospitals (BHDDH) Director Craig Stenning. "We have a unique possibility in Rhode Island to effect a change in health care [for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities] and become a model for the nation," said Thomas Kane, President and CEO of Access Point Rhode Island.

Northwestern District Attorney David Sullivan says Lockwood's work over twelve years at UMass has raised awareness of sexual violence and provided a resource for survivors.
"She's been that heart, that soul, and that intellect to move an agenda forward, to break those barriers that we all know exist in the world of sexual violence."
Lockwood says the number of reported sexual assaults at Umass has gone up in recent years, but she says that's in part due to better awareness of the university's support services. But she says more education is needed throughout the school to prevent sexual assault – especially with over four thousand new students coming to campus each year.
"Experiencing sexual violence is so disruptive to someone's educational career, that I think we really need to think about innovative ways of providing that education to every student on campus, and we need to talk to the administration and the faculty so they know how to help someone if they receive a disclosure."
Lockwood says the award is a recognition of the center's day-to-day work.

Skip to comments.Joseph Cao: Louisiana's Newest Congressman
Posted on 12/07/2008 2:34:47 AM PST by uglybiker
In a stunning upset, Republican Ahn Joseph Cao, a Vietnamese immigrant with no political experience, has defeated Democratic incumbent William Jefferson for the U.S. House of Representatives seat of the 2nd District of Lousiana.
Ahn Joseph Cao will represent the 2nd District of Lousiana in the new Congressional term after defeating William Jefferson. Cao, an immigration attorney, is a newcomer to politics and will be the first person of Vietnamese descent to become a representative in Congress. His opponent William Jefferson was plagued by allegations of corruption throughout his campaign and is currently facing federal indictments related to illegal funds received from Nigerian business interests. Jefferson became notorious in Louisiana after the FBI found $90,000 in cash allegedly received as bribes in his freezer.
Though Louisiana is often mocked as a rural backwater by liberals, the state has now elected the first Indian American governor and the first Vietnamese American Congressman. Both are Republicans. Way to go, Lousiana!
Biography of Joseph Cao
Ahn Joseph Cao, 41 was born in Saigon, in 1967. He fled Vietnam in 1975 with his mother and two siblings when he was eight years old, and came to America as a refugee. His father, a soldier in the South Vietnamese army, was captured and imprisoned by North Vietnamese Communist forces.
Despite a disadvantaged childhood in a refugee community, Cao excelled in academics and went on to study at Baylor University, where he earned a bachelors degree in Physics. He went on to receive a masters degree in philosophy at Fordham University and considered studying to become a priest before entering law school at Loyola University, where he received a J.D. in 2000.
Since receiving his law degree, he has practiced immigration law. He has also served as a board member of Boat People SOS (BPSOS), a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering Vietnamese American communities.
He announced his candidacy for Congress in the 2nd District of Louisiana in 2008 against Democratic incumbent William Jefferson, who was hampered by allegations of corruption and barely won the Democratic primary. Despite being relatively unknown to most voters, Cao received the endorsements of Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal and many major Louisiana newspapers. He won the election on December 6, 2008, and will be the nations first Vietnamese American Congressman.
He is married to Hieu Kate Hoang, and has two daughters named Sophia and Betsy.
Blockbuster!!!! Awesome post!!!!
An Indian-American governor. A Vietnamese-American congressman. In the deep deep South.
Man, these Republicans are the lily-white party of country club racism, ain't they?
What delightful news.
One small step at a time
I was shocked to read this thread this morning.
He apparently received a decent percentage of the black vote in the district. Evidently, district residents had finally tired of "Cold Cash" Jefferson.
I was shocked ...
I was too! Kinda restores my faith in my fellow voters....just a little!
"lily-white party of country club racism"
Hey, if one actually is honest, works and educates themself to get where they are, they will always be considered white by the something for nothing bunch.
I live 1 hour N of NO and am shocked by this great news!
I'm in another dist. and thought/heard Jefferson was a shoe in.
What great news to start this Sunday!
LOL hope there is a BIG margin so no thoughts of a recount
I am very glad to see that the Viet Kieu won but his name is ANH CAO not Ahn! AHN is not Vietnamese formulation at all. Ever.
Wonder if Congressman Elect Cao has received a congratulatory call from "President Elect" ?????
Woo-Hoo!! Way to go Louisiana!
Alas, they demand more and more handouts which apparently we don't give them enough of, so they continue to have umpteen babies by umpteen different fathers and sell drugs and kill each other and innocent children.
Both Catholics also. Congrats to the people of LA for kicking out the trash Jefferson.....now on to PRISON.
Congratulations Congressman Cao!
Unfortunately, check the precinct stats. IN more than 100 precincts, Jefferson got over 91%, mostly 95+, so Cao got very little black vote. Cao was elected by an overwhelming white vote (40 precincts with 90+%!), and a very low black turnout. There were 150K votes in the Dem "primary" on Nov 4, and now Jefferson gets only 33K.
Interesting statistics, but bottom line, Jefferson lost. I wonder if the small black vote turnout was a decision of many not to support his re-election by not voting? Oh well.
Which explains the importance of "knock and drag" get-out-the-vote efforts in the inner cities, in which Democrats tell people that "the Republicans are going to bring back slavery."
Race doesn't seem to be a factor nowadays with American voters... with one exception.
+90% vote for Jefferson is pretty embarrassing.
Great, but is this guy another RINO?
This is great for the "party" but...this guy is an immigration attorney. I think we may have traded worse for bad.
I'll shut up now...LOL
Further proof that low turnout favors the GOP.
I have always argued low turnout is a good sign in a republic.
Wow, those numbers suggest that Cao will be a one-term Congressman if the Demagogues get their act together enough to run a candidate for 2010 who can turn out a decent % of black voters to the polls.
Ah, well, it's still a great victory and I hope it launches Cao to other opportunities even if he can't hold that seat..... assuming he is reasonably conservative, and not a RINO I wouldn't care for.
They learn by their mistakes. They forgot to call ACORN in. Bus voters to the polls. Give out free stuff.
Be prepared for more next time.
They're already putting all their "people" in place so it's going to be a hugh hill
to climb and I hope we'll have what it takes to get back our country come next election.
See post #18.
I don't understand how this relates to my post. Are you calling my comments racist?
Just curious, what does "Viet Kieu" mean?
As opposed to many here who have countless means to better themselves and won't.
My apologies if I made you feel attacked. No harm intended.
He's Pro-Life, Pro-Gun, and for low taxes and is an unapologetic Catholic.
Hopefully, he will not be a disappoinment to Republicans as Tim Mahoney was to Democrats.
OK, no harm no foul.
Please do remember, though, that Political Asylees and others who came via other than through the normal visa process, were eligible for various resettlement assistance and monies.
So that you know, I have zero issues with those who have been a friend and, especially, those who have put their lives and their families lives at risk for us, receiving out Nations gratitude in this manner. I've witnessed it, first hand, in action. I appreciate them, and our Government for recognizing their contributions.
I could also be that many Jefferson supporters did not know about the Dec. 7 contest but thought Nov. 4 settled it all. They could organize and demand a new election in which they are informed where and when to vote.
Cao soounds like a conservativ and Christian - he worked with the poor - and I believe that gave him credibility with the blacks also:
"Anh "Joseph" Quang Cao, 41, was born in Saigon (now Ho Chi Minh City), Vietnam, the fifth of eight children. . . At the age of eight, Joseph and two of his seven siblings arrived in the United States . . .in 1990 earned a Bachelor of Science degree in physics from Baylor University in Waco, Texas.
After graduation, Joseph entered the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits), finally arriving in Louisiana for the first time to begin his religious training at Grand Coteau. During his first two years in the Society, Joseph was sent by his religious superiors to various parts of the world to minister to the poor and indigent. Joseph was then sent to New Orleans in 1992 to study theology and philosophy, furthering his training for the priesthood.
He subsequently was accepted to Fordham University in New York, where he earned his Master of Arts degree in philosophy in May 1995. He returned to New Orleans to teach philosophy and ethics at Loyola University. The following year, Joseph left the Society of Jesus and taught at a local parochial school in Virginia.
While in Virginia, Joseph volunteered at Boat People S.O.S., Inc. (BPSOS) to assist poor Vietnamese in their quest for social justice and enculturation and to lobby the U.S. Congress on issues concerning civil and religious rights. He eventually became a board member of BPSOS and served in that capacity from September 1996 to March of 2002. . .
He left Waltzer & Associates to become in-house counsel for BPSOS, opening a New Orleans office seeking social and legal equity for the many refugees in the city. During his time as BPSOS in-house counsel, Joseph initiated programs to help victims of torture and to provide social and cultural developments for poor minorities.
As long as he isn't like the Caos from The Three Kingdoms.
All jokes aside, this is a great development.
How come the Secretary of States office has different results posted?

Now, THAT'S the America I love!!!
Well, if we've learned anything from Obama, it's that all you really need to do to get elected is blabber on about hope and change.
He owned three active studios before he cut back to one--he considers himself retired now.
The one problem I have with his election is he is another lawyer; and an immigration one at that.

|In response to Re: Gerberit Tessera wall hung toilet
I've had good luck w/ the Tessera. It is a true elongated bowl, and has a siphon jet (most wall hungs are wash down flush). I'd put the Geberit in before putting in Porcher, Duravit, or Vilroy & Boch.
: As to diameter of pipes. It takes a standard 3" drain line, requires a 2x6 wall specailly built for the wall assembly, and requires a 2" vent downstream of the drain, just like a standard toilet would need. The installation takes quite a bit more time, so expect to pay considerably more for the installation at rough and at finish. The remote actuator kit is a nice additional touch and also takes lots of time to asssemble thanks to the incredibly poorly written and illustrated instruction booklet.

boots for the fall
"Bought these thinking of fall 2014 for something as a step-up from my heavy duty winter boots (clunky). Previous reviews rated them as comfortable. Just wearing these boots to break them in the house and notice that there is not a lot of cushion so they may not be good for standing on your feet all day or for long walks. They are reasonably comfortable other than that. They have a nice profile and I like the dark chocolate color. Price was a deciding factor in purchase."

Great, comfy boots
"I have ordered several pairs of soft, slouchy mid-calf boots this year but most don't allow my high arch to get down into the boot. This pair fits great. My husband says I live in them now."

So Comfortable & cute, too
"These are great. SO comfy and easy to walk in off the bat. Needed something stylish to wear in the winter and these are perfect. They are a little elfish looking, but don't mind that based on the comfort. They look good over leggings or under jeans. Can't beat the price! I got the olive & love the color."

Two murder suspects were among six Hinds County Detention Center inmates charged with violent crimes who were mistakenly released Dec. 6 after jail employees misread court orders. The mistake was caught Tuesday, five days later.
Hinds County Sheriff Department officials said four suspects were back in the Raymond facility Tuesday. Three of the inmates, including the two charged with murder, were back in custody within three hours of the oversight being discovered, said Chief Deputy Chris Picou.
The accidental release occurred exactly six months after another Hinds County inmate was incorrectly released. He was apprehended a week later in Leflore County.
The department enlisted the help of several local law enforcement agencies and federal authorities. By Wednesday night, only Germarkes Smith, 27, remained at large.
Picou said he believed Smith, a Jackson resident, was still in the metro area. Smith faces three counts of aggravated assault.
Bruce Bradley, 37, turned himself in without incident Wednesday afternoon, said Capt. Joe Daughtry, spokesman with the sheriff's office. Bradley is facing house burglary and attempted rape charges.
The two murder suspects, Edd Burrell, 56, and Trevin Bell, 24, were the main focus of the department, said Picou. Those men, along with Roddrick Jones, 17, were back in custody shortly after the error was discovered Tuesday.
By Tuesday night a fourth inmate, David Jackson, 22, had turned himself in to authorities at the Raymond jail, Picou said. Jackson was in jail on an aggravated assault charge.
None of the inmates — who have yet to be indicted — will face additional charges, Picou said.
The error that freed the men, said Picou, did expose a problem with the department's policies.
"Once a complete investigation is done, I'm confident that we will implement new policies and procedures," he said. "I'm equally confident that we will take disciplinary actions toward those individuals that were involved in this process."
Picou would only say there were several employees involved, and possible punishment could range from written reprimands to termination.
The error came after the department received several orders from county courts during September that "indicated some detainees should or would be released by Dec. 1, 2012, if indictments had not been placed or brought against them," said Picou.
However, the orders were not entered into the department's system properly, he added.
Adding to the confusion was a circuit court order Dec. 5 that instructed deputies to retain the detainees listed in the previous court orders.
The department faced a similar kerfuffle in June when a state inmate was transferred to the Hinds detention center to be held on a different criminal matter in Rankin County.
Demondrick Calhoun, 28, had been sent home June 6 after being told there was no reason to hold him.
Mississippi Department of Corrections officials had said Calhoun was in Hinds County on a court order.
Picou said Calhoun's case was the result from a hole in the department's policy. That hole has since been fixed, he said.

Away from blog
I really do not know what happened, but I seem to have ignored my blog for two months.
I have had plenty to report, just not the urge to write about it. So, where to start? In April I went to see WWE Raw, at the o2 arena, make of that what you will, I don't care, I loved every moment of it. I have wanted to go see a live show for almost 20 years, so I feel so pleased I for filled that dream.
In May I went to watch William play Boccia in Sheffield, was the national finals he didn't win a game, was a shame to see, but glad I went to support him. Also on that trip, I went on the train by myself, felt it was easier than driving, but I was very nervous. The idea of needing to rely on others to help me, is not something I like.
Last weekend I went to Nottingham to watch the 2nd day of the 2nd Test, between England and the West Indies. It was fantastic fun, the weather was amazing, the view was stunning, the Cricket was of great quality, I met Aggers and Viv Richards.
I have also got tickets to go see the next Test, in Birmingham, but other than on Saturday, the weather does not look good.
Yesterday I went to Strawberry Fair, it was great fun, was with Ceri, Laura, Nicki & her son Izaac. It was great fun, the weather wasn't great, but we made the most of it, although I am sure we spent most the time trying on hats.

I guess it's possible Nawaki might have had the potential to use the Mokuton, but he had barely ever seen battle before he died. How would Oro have known to look out for him in particular? Presumably, not even Hashirama's direct descendants (Nawaki and Tsunade's mom/dad, whichever was Hashirama's child) possessed the mokuton. Also, if Nawaki really did have the bloodline limit, why would Oro kill him? He could have took him under his wing like he did with Anko, while collecting information.
Even though the idea of Oro killing Nawaki is plausible, it's hard to fit such a fact into the story in a way that doesn't seem forced. After all, Tsunade's likely fighting her last battle right now, and story-wise, she'd have to discover this fact if it's going to mean anything for her character.
