Shipbuilding Industry
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Rodney Weston Saint John, NB
Mr. Speaker, following a fair and transparent process, Irving Shipbuilding was awarded the responsibility to build the new Royal Canadian Navy combat vessels. The work undertaken in Halifax will last for almost three decades. It will create jobs and wealth all across Atlantic Canada.
Could the Minister of State for the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency update the House on the actions that our government will take to help our small- and medium-size enterprises in the Atlantic region take advantage of the shipbuilding procurement strategy?
Shipbuilding Industry
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
New Brunswick
Bernard Valcourt Minister of State (Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency) (La Francophonie)
Mr. Speaker, this represents a historic occasion for our region.
This morning my colleagues and I were in Dartmouth to unveil the Atlantic shipbuilding action plan. With this plan, we will ensure that small- and medium-size enterprises throughout Atlantic Canada, all four provinces, rural and urban areas, are in the best position to seize all opportunities.
Our government will be helping Atlantic businesses understand the requirements to take part in shipbuilding as suppliers or subcontractors.
Science and Technology
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Ted Hsu Kingston and the Islands, ON
Mr. Speaker, in December, the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration gave an administrative order on scientific integrity, telling its scientists to speak freely to the public and to the press about their research. Canadian government scientists do not have freedom of speech.
This week, the American Association for the Advancement of Science meets in Vancouver with a talk entitled bluntly "The Muzzling of Canada's Federal Scientists".
Why is the government against free speech for scientists?
Science and Technology
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Gary Goodyear Minister of State (Science and Technology) (Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario)
Mr. Speaker, we appreciate our scientists. That is why we share our research from our scientists in many publications throughout the year. We have great respect for our scientists and our scientific research. We do not do what the member says we do.
Fisheries and Oceans
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Fin Donnelly New Westminster—Coquitlam, BC
Mr. Speaker, on Friday, the Federal Court of Appeal upheld the ruling that the government must protect orca whales. The government stubbornly appealed the original decision, wasting taxpayers' dollars.
The minister was looking for loopholes to avoid taking responsibility. The courts have been clear. Canadians know it. The government just does not get it. There is nothing discretionary about protecting endangered species.
Will the minister stop wasting taxpayers' dollars, do his job and protect the orcas?
Fisheries and Oceans
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Pitt Meadows—Maple Ridge—Mission
Randy Kamp Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans and for the Asia-Pacific Gateway
Mr. Speaker, I can assure my colleague that our government is committed to the conservation of the Canadian population of killer whales. That is why we have greatly enhanced our programs and measures for their protection, including prevention against harassment and critical habitat identification and seismic protection protocols.
The Department of Fisheries and Oceans is implementing the court's decision and will be legally protecting critical habitat using the Species at Risk Act. The critical habitat for northern and southern resident populations of killer whales in British Columbia is already protected under section 58 of the species at--
Fisheries and Oceans
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
The Speaker Andrew Scheer
The hon. member for Desnethé—Missinippi—Churchill River.
International Trade
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Rob Clarke Desnethé—Missinippi—Churchill River, SK
Mr. Speaker, our government has an ambitious pro-trade plan. While the Prime Minister was in China, our government concluded a new job-creating investment agreement. Due to our government's investment in the Asia-Pacific gateway, Canada's lumber exports to China are setting records.
One in five Canadian jobs is generated by trade. We understand that when we pursue trade opportunities, we create jobs for Canadian workers. Could the parliamentary secretary explain to the House how the Prime Minister's trip to China is creating jobs here in Canada?
International Trade
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
South Shore—St. Margaret's
Nova Scotia
Gerald Keddy Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of International Trade
Mr. Speaker, our government's ambitious pro-trade plan is getting results. While the Prime Minister was in China, he announced an agreement on Canadian uranium exports. This will benefit Canadian workers and their families, but do not take my word for it. Listen to Lac La Ronge Indian Band Chief, Tammy Cook-Searson, who said, "This will mean more investment, job opportunities, business development and community support initiatives".
While we are focused on creating jobs, the NDP's reckless and irresponsible anti-trade agenda is a danger to Canadian jobs. It should listen to what Canadians are saying.
Public Safety
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Charmaine Borg Terrebonne—Blainville, QC
Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives' last bill on lawful access treated all Canadians like criminals. The personal information of any Internet user could be obtained without a warrant. The Canadian Privacy Commissioner and experts are already worried: this violates the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Will the minister correct his legislation, or will he continue to treat law-abiding Canadians like criminals?
Public Safety
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Vic Toews Minister of Public Safety
Mr. Speaker, I can assure the member that any outrageous claims that private communications will be intercepted without a warrant is a complete fabrication. Our proposed approach will not allow police officers to access private communications without a warrant. That being said, our message is clear. If people use technology to commit crimes such as distributing child pornography, the police will apprehend them and they will be punished to the full extent of the law.
Employment Insurance
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
André Bellavance Richmond—Arthabaska, QC
Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives claim that job creation is a priority for them. Perhaps it is also time they started caring about those who have lost their jobs. Maybe then they would realize that the unemployment rate is on the rise in Quebec, as the Mouvement autonome et solidaire des sans-emploi knows, and that nearly 40% of EI applications are taking two to three times longer to be processed than expected. This is affecting everyone. Every MP in every party has cases like this in their offices.
What is the government waiting for to fix this short-sighted management, which is leaving thousands of Quebec families that need financial support in the lurch for months? This is insurance; people pay in and they are entitled to receive it. What is the government doing?
Employment Insurance
Oral Questions
3:05 p.m.
Diane Finley Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development
Mr. Speaker, we are trying to ensure that unemployed workers receive their benefits as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, in December and January, there was an unexpected increase in the number of applications. That is why we added several hundred employees to process the applications as quickly as possible.
Human Resources, Skills and Social Development and the Status of Persons with Disabilities
Committees of the House
Routine Proceedings
February 13th, 2012 / 3:05 p.m.
Ed Komarnicki Souris—Moose Mountain, SK
Mr. Speaker, I have the honour to present, in both official languages, the second report of the Standing Committee on Human Resources, Skills and Social Development and the Status of Persons with Disabilities in relation to Bill C-316, An Act to amend the Employment Insurance Act (incarceration). The committee has studied the bill and has decided to report the bill back to the House with amendments.
Criminal Code
Routine Proceedings
3:05 p.m.
Parm Gill Brampton—Springdale, ON
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-394, An Act to amend the Criminal Code and the National Defence Act (criminal organization recruitment).
Mr. Speaker, I am proud to introduce my private member's bill entitled An Act to amend the Criminal Code and the National Defence Act (criminal organization recruitment). The bill aims to protect the increasing number of innocent and vulnerable youth who are actively targeted and recruited by criminal organizations. The bill would provide the necessary tools for law enforcement officials and our justice system to hold these criminals accountable for their actions and protect our youth.
I look forward to having a debate on the bill in the House in the very near future.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed)

Garth Brooks unveils first dates of touring comeback
Garth Brooks will ease back into touring with a pair of stadium shows announced for July in Dublin, Ireland.
The rather literally-named "Garth Brooks Comeback Special Event" is set for July 25th and 26th at the city's Croke Park Stadium, a facility Brooks had vowed to return to play on his 1997 tour.
Said Brooks in a statement, "I was quoted then as saying, 'When this stadium is finished, I would love to come back and try to fill it again... this time to the brink.' ... and we're back to do just that."
Brooks stepped away from a wildly successful touring and recording career in 2001 following the dissolution of his marriage to his first wife, saying at the time that he wanted to spend time with his daughters as they made their way through school. Brooks married singer Trisha Yearwood in 2005.
During his break from major touring, Brooks accepted a deal to play weekend shows at Steve Wynn's namesake Las Vegas hotel an arrangement that involved shuttling Brook via private jet from his Oklahoma home on Fridays and returning him back home after Saturday performances.
A worldwide tour is expected to roll out following the Dublin shows, and Brooks has released an eight-disc compilation, "Blame It All on My Roots," to recap his recorded output prior to the outing.
Tickets for the Dublin shows will go on sale January 30th via Ticketmaster.

I was hoping to exclusively breastfeed for as long as possible, but for the last week or so, my almost-6-month-old son has thrown absolute fits at our every meal time. He cries and screams until I nurse him, even though I always feed him before we eat. So, now I have to eat every meal while simultaneously nursing and sometimes that doesn't even calm him. He tries grabbing at everything! So, firstly, does he NEED solid food now, or will he "get over" being upset @ mealtimes? Is he communicating that he needs something more? I've tried holding out with all my kids and they all did this and so I started solids, but with him, he has a compromised immune system from some medications so I thought maybe it would be best to give him as much breastmilk protection as possible. What do you all think?
No announcement yet.
Trying to hold off on solids, but...
new posts
Trying to hold off on solids, but...Tags: None
Is there a family history of allergies? You mention that his immune system is potentially compromised; did his doctor recommend a late start to solids?
Honestly, I believe that the CHILD is the best judge of when to start solids. Just like your older children, all of my children have started themselves by grabbing something off of my plate. One was over 6 months, the other two were around 5 1/2 months. They were clearly "ready" as far as the recommended milestones (sitting w/ support, bringing hand to mouth, showing interest in foods). But they told us when it was time. Unless there is a clear medical reason to delay solids, I would trust your son's instincts and follow his lead. If you have concerns re. allergy, then you might want to avoid potential allergenic foods (dairy, gluten, nuts, whatever there's a family history of allergies to). Many moms say that their allergic children
Does he "need" solids? Not for calories, no. But for the experience, yes. Remember that your milk will remain the majority of his diet until he's at least a year old, and perhaps much longer. First foods are about play and exploration, learning to participate in mealtimes with the family, learning about new tastes and textures. He won't get many calories from food for a long time, especially if you nurse him first, let him feed himself and avoid spoon-feeding for the most part.
He'll still be getting immune support from breastmilk; immune cell levels in breastmilk actually increase as your milk supply decreases in response to your child getting more nourishment from solids. So you're still supporting his immune growth for as long as you breastfeed. In fact, there's evidence that starting allergenic foods WHILE breastfeeding (specifically gluten) and continuing to breastfeed for several months after starting them is protective against allergies. Which makes me worry about the current trend to delay introducing gluten-containing foods until 1 year & also weaning at 1 year.
Are you sure he wants food to eat and doesn't just want to feel it and stick it in his mouth?
I think I would put some type of food, like maybe avocado, on his plate, that he could grab and get messy with and that is unlikely to be allergenic if he swallowed some.
I would not spoon feed, but would allow him to explore foods.
Hope you find a good resolution!
Thank you both for your helpful and encouraging advice! I'll try letting him participate a little on his own terms.

GDB 18: Motor City Madness
November 17 2008 03:30PM
It's not quite River City Ransom, and it hardly has the cache of Edward Furlong's Academy-Award-not-even-remotely-being-nominated-for performance in Detroit Rock City, but some terrifying and eye-catching hybrid of the two is taking place tonight. On skates. And ice.
And you can bet your ass the Justice League™ will be paying close attention, watching for facial ticks and heated exchanges of words as MacT continues to grey at an alarming rate, and Dustin Penner sits comfortably in the press box. Meanwhile, the entire 'Sphere speculates on both of those guys' futures with the club (check Lowetide, Covered in Oil and BDHS for some good comments on those issues).
All this off-and-on-ice furor is the result of MacT's positively scathing indictment of Penner's performance and attitude in the Edmonton Journal. I'm not going to add to the crap storm here. I'm just going to cross my fingers, consume a 15-pack of Vitamin-P and hope for a checkmark in the W column.
Go Oil!

*Craig MacTavish scribbling notes*
o 0 (Puck can go below hash marks... Souray doesn't always have to shoot)
Roli's going to punch someone by the end of the night. I'm guessing Holmstrom is a likely candidate.
The only thing missing in Roli's game is his helmet "falling" off every whistle
Roli is still getting over having Smyth on his doorstep, now Holmstrom is there. I'm betting he pulls a Bouerice on Holmstrom before the end of the night
November 17 2008, 06:16PM
Boulerice is sitting beside Penner tonight.
November 17 2008, 06:17PM
Man Gary Bettman must just be beaming with all the scoring that's gone on tonight because of all these power plays.
I know - I said Roli would pull a Boulerice
Nice to see all those unemployed GM & Chrysler workers still enjoy going to a game in "hockeytown"
November 17 2008, 06:18PM
My bad. Roli loves to over react. He's old and disgruntled.
November 17 2008, 06:20PM
I'm also surprised they were able to stop stabbing each other for a few hours. Although we can't see the nose bleed seats, so, you never know.
Or burning the city up...
Nice hit on kessler - by the net
November 17 2008, 06:34PM
M&M Missed the bus from 8 mile... or maybe he finally lost himself... ok ok that was weak
November 17 2008, 06:38PM
Huh. So, should I just turn the game off now? Or continue to get angrier and angrier.
November 17 2008, 06:39PM
I'm going to get really angry and take it out on my own body... It's the only way to enjoy a loss.
Smash something.
I vote continue to bear the agony of this game
November 17 2008, 06:42PM
Misery loves company I guess. And it's not like any women is going to come near me, so, what else do I have to do?
*sob sob sob sob*
November 17 2008, 06:43PM
Well shucks man let's get some lawn chairs, 38 beers and hang out at the splash park and just wait for some babes to show up.
November 17 2008, 06:44PM
You know what makes me cry? Our powerplay. It's pretty shabby.
November 17 2008, 06:45PM
I think shabby is doing it too much justice. Shitanusly® works very well.
maybe the hot dog champ should have gone to the game - Joey Chesnut?
Jesus, Mary and Joseph... this is not helping us make a comeback.
November 17 2008, 06:47PM
Oh man Penner must be in his element tonight with those cheap hot dogs!
November 17 2008, 06:50PM
"That could be a turning point save"
Dear god I hope your right Quinn. Because if not, heaven help you.
Great - another PP
November 17 2008, 06:52PM
So basically that's another 2 minutes off the clock for the Red Wings.
Cogliano just like Alex in River City Ransom - He's got stone hands
November 17 2008, 06:54PM
Bring back Ted Green.
2 minutes off the clock...
This game is not improving my Monday.
November 17 2008, 06:57PM
Wow. That was an unreal series of events. Solid play by Detroit.
AWESOME - Prison Break is on FYI
Seeing how this game is SO worth watching now...
November 17 2008, 06:59PM
Hmm... The Pil's going down nicely. By the gulpful. Also, why can't I stop sobbing? I shouldn't be surprised by this.
Time to switch over the NFL Monday night game. This is just plain sad. I tappears that the Oilers who are dressed are jealous of Penner and his hotdog eating.
This is somewhat ironic considering there was no side bet with a Detroit blog
November 17 2008, 07:01PM
Maybe we should start cheering for the Oilers to play mediocre hockey and get beaten every other game. At least then we'd be getting the results we want.
I'd be happy if they started playing HOCKEY
November 17 2008, 07:03PM
Evening all. I would like the OIlers to score a goal.....many infact. Hussle hard nosed goals.
I would like them to play up to their potential.
I would like to feel like I can honestly cheer for the team and there heart/effort everynight.....
I would also like a 15 pack of Vitamin P to make this game look better....
November 17 2008, 07:04PM
Sending Penner to the press box sure sent a message to this team. They're playing great. Edmonton is in red right?
November 17 2008, 07:06PM
Thank god the period is over.
November 17 2008, 07:07PM
Is this the writing on the wall for MacT?
Nothing against what the guy has done, but genius falling on deaf ears is useless.
It's too bad they have stopped listening.
MacT is fuct - if he wants to send a message sit someone who is actually playing good IMO, although it would be tough to find one of those guys
November 17 2008, 07:08PM
He's said it himself, it is the coaches job to get the team prepared and how many first periods have they Sh!t the bed?
The Bills/Browns game is MUCH better
November 17 2008, 07:09PM
Who wants to play "Who replaces MacT?"
November 17 2008, 07:09PM
Where's Brownlee? I want to apologize for my criticizing Craig MacTavish so ruthlessly today. He was right. MacT calling out Penner has effectively motivated this team. Once again I have to eat my words. Robin, I'm sorry for the disagreement, you were right as always, the silver fox is a great coach. The powerplay he's drawn up tonight has looked top shelf. If you're out there, may my words ride the wind and find you. I hope we can get past this and continue the work on our band.
November 17 2008, 07:10PM
It can't be Bucky.......
November 17 2008, 07:11PM
I think he's been hanging on by a hair for a while now. His track record isn't terrible, but there have been lots of coaches that have had much more success that have been fired for far less. Unless the team goes on a 10 game win streak or something, it's only a matter of time before he's given the ol heave ho.
He should just count his blessings that his BFF has been running the team for so long, because if he was coaching else where, I don't think he would have held onto his job this long.

Looks good in the box, but not so much on
"These shoes look great in hand, or in the box, but on the material creases. It becomes wrinkly, and looks odd. The rest of the the shoes is smooth, but right at the bend, near the toes, it gets wrinkly, and I don't like it. I still like the shoes, I guess I'll get over it."

The Future is Now: Draft Day in Jets Nation
Kevin McCartney
June 30 2013 12:04PM
Photo by joseph a
Short of running down the clock and letting their pick slide past, Kevin Cheveldayoff and Head Scout Marcel Comeau will be required to do something of note today. Patience has been the buzz word of this management team, 'build from within' its favoured mantra. Today, with 6 picks inside the first 3 rounds of a deep draft, the Jets are an hour away from a critical moment in the future of the franchise.
Marcel Comeau
Jets fans worldwide should know this man's name. Ever wonder why a team that's been in the playoffs once since he took over as Head Scout in 2003 never seems to get better? Well, it's because just 12% of this man's draft choices between 2003 and 2010 have made the NHL as regulars. Only two players of his 54 picks after 12th overall hit 200 games played in the big leagues. That's right, 2 of 54.
Today, all of his picks come after 12th overall.
In addition to #13 overall, which should deliver an NHL player in a deep draft, the Jets hold three 2nd round picks and two 3rd round picks today that the team desperately needs to turn into two NHL regulars. In 2003 (the year this draft keeps getting compared to), 12 of 38 second round selections made it to 200 games played - almost a third. We have to expect that of Comeau today, despite Ondrej Pavelec being the only second round pick he's ever had become an NHL regular. After that, we have to hope and pray he nabs a third hockey player that helps the Jets. A watershed year at the draft table would not go amiss, Marcel.
The Depth Chart
Cheveldayoff has not even re-signed an RFA yet this off-season. His procrastination means that we remain uncertain about the depth chart. In fact, we can only be certain that there are holes in it.
The Forwards
- Little (RFA) - Ladd - Wheeler (RFA)
- Jokinen - Kane - (Scheifele?)
- Burmistrov (RFA / KHL?) - Tangradi (RFA) - ?
- Slater - Wright - Thorburn
- ?
Well, hey, at least that miserable 4th line is intact.
The Defence
- Enstrom - Byfuglien
- Trouba - Bogosian (RFA)
- Stuart - Redmond (RFA)
- Kulda (RFA) - Postma (RFA)
Kulda, Redmond, and Postma are all 24 year old late round picks, but at this stage none of them would make a playoff quality team. On said hypothetical playoff bound team, rookie defenceman Jacob Trouba would also not be put in a position to carry heavy minutes, but I can't see a way around that with this depth chart.
The Goalies
It's Sunday. Have a ceasar with brunch and forget about this.
What is the Jets' need?
Both forunately and sadly, the Jets need star players at every position. Best Player Available is the name of the game for the Jets, with a pause to worry that the concept is lost on Marcel Comeau.
- Multi tool LH dman
- Top-6 centre
- Top-6 RW
- Top-9 centre with faceoff and PK capabilities
- Top-9 winger of the Raffi Torres / Cal Clutterbuck variety who can take and make a pass
- Starting goalie
What can we expect today?
The Jets have been almost silent so far this off-season, and haven't popped up in any major trade rumours to date. I not-so-secretly hope they trade up to take Aleks "Hawerchuck" Barkov, but more likely they hold on and hope for Max Domi or Ryan Pulock to appear. We can collectively knock on wood that Comeau avoids Zadorov (here's why) and changes his habit of drafting out of lesser development leagues.
Worst case scenario?
It's possible we see Evander Kane traded today. Hearing there's a couple teams who have approached Jets.— Josh Rimer (@JoshRimerHockey) June 30, 2013
#Jets Alexander Burmistrov's Russian agent told http://t.co/KU2aCYRLwL Burmi is close to 2-year agreement with #AkBars of #KHL— Igor Eronko (@IgorEronko) June 30, 2013
The best part of being a fan of a bad team is that if they just don't make it a complete disaster, it feels like a victory. Lowered expectations might even be the title of Marcel Comeau's biography some day.

|How to File an Ethics Complaint
|By Judy Misner
How to File an Ethics ComplaintIn accordance with the US Chess Code of Ethics you must be a US Chess member.
To file a formal ethics complaint, contact Judy Misner by email ([email protected]), phone (931.787.1234), or regular mail to the US Chess office in Crossville, TN. Mark the envelope to the attention of Judy Misner, who is the Committee's liaison in the office. All complaints and responses should be typed. In addition to submitting your complaint you must also mail a $25 check to US Chess as a good faith deposit. The deposit will be returned unless the ruling authority finds the complaint to be frivolous and rules that the deposit is to be forfeited, otherwise the check will be returned.
There are a number of things you should keep in mind when making a complaint. First, the jurisdiction of the Ethics Committee is governed by two documents: the Code of Ethics and the Executive Board Standards of Conduct. A copy of the Code of Ethics may be found on the US Chess web site. A copy of the Executive Board Standards of Conduct may be found on the website also. In your complaint, you should make specific reference to the section(s) of these documents, which apply, to the violation you claim.
If you decide to make a complaint, you should include with it ALL the evidence you want considered. The Committee will not research web sites, newsgroup postings etc. If you want such material considered, it is up to you to print this material and send it with your complaint. If you want other individuals to provide statements in support of your charges, we prefer that you obtain them. However, the Committee may agree (but is not required) to ask the US Chess office to contact them and ask for the statements.
Once the complaint is received in the US Chess office, the following procedure takes place. First, a copy of the complaint will be sent to every member of the Ethics Committee and we will examine it to determine if it falls within their jurisdiction. If they vote that it does not, you will be notified and that will be the end of the matter. If they vote that it does, the complaint will then be sent to the defendant(s) with a request for a formal response by a given deadline. When that response is received, it will be sent to you and you will have the opportunity to make a rebuttal. Finally, your rebuttal will be sent to the defendant(s) who will get the last word. When all four of these documents (complaint, response, rebuttal, and final statement) have been received at the US Chess office, a packet will be made up and sent to every member of the Committee. The Committee will then consider the evidence and take a vote and all parties will be notified of the decision.
If the Committee finds that a violation has occurred, they can recommend sanctions to the Executive Board, including a reprimand, a censure, or even suspension or revocation of US Chess membership. Please note however, that when the defendant is a member of the Executive Board, they can recommend only a reprimand or censure; if they wish to suggest more serious sanctions, these must be referred to the US Chess Delegates for action.
You will have 30 days from when you are notified to submit an appeal of the decision to our Executive Board. Appeals are submitted to our Executive Board through the US Chess office at US Chess, P. O. Box 3967, Crossville, TN 38557 or submit your appeal by email to: Executive Director, Jean Hoffman at [email protected] and Judy Misner at [email protected].
If you have any further questions about the procedures for filing a complaint, please do not hesitate to contact me again.

By Brandon Speck/NEMS Daily Journal
PEARL – The Atlanta Braves will concede the fact that by October, they could be atop the Major Leagues in strikeouts.
That's OK as long as their potentially powerful offense produces enough to overcome that stat.
The offense looked strong in its final tuneup Saturday at Trustmark Park, a 10-0 Atlanta win over the organization's Future Stars.
"The lineup is very strong," said former manager Bobby Cox, who led the Future Stars. "It's a lineup that's going to strike out a little bit, but they're going to hit home runs. They're going to steal bases. It's still going to all come down to pitching, but the lineup is talented."
Atlanta, which is without the now-retired Chipper Jones on the roster for the first time since 1992, will open the season tonight against Philadelphia.
The pitching seems in place, too. Mike Minor allowed two leadoff hits Saturday but retired the next 11 through his four innings. It's a strong starting group that includes former Mississippi State pitcher Paul Maholm.
Dan Uggla and Chris Johnson hit back-to-back home runs in the first inning Saturday, but newcomer catcher Evan Gattis stole the show. Gattis, who not long ago swore off baseball and worked as a janitor and ski lift operator, hit a long home run that cleared the stadium and bounced around the parking lot.
"I played here. I know how hard it is to get one out of here," Minor said. "I don't think I've ever seen one like that, even in BP."
Minor provided plenty of defense against the Future Stars, including a few likely to get called up sooner than later.
Joe Terdoslavich was 0 for 3 Saturday, but hit .395 in the spring before being cut last week. Teroslavich is an outfielder, but it's tough to find room in Turner Field's outfield with the additions of B.J. and Justin Upton.
Jason Heyward, who had an RBI double Saturday, is still remembered for a memorable home run in his rookie debut's first at-bat. Gattis could follow with his own tonight. He has proven his bat, but Brian McCann will be a free agent and Gattis has yet to show he can play there every day.
"Obviously we've got some new faces and some guys are gone, but everybody here has got one goal and that's to win," Maholm said.

Pro Point Lures Crunch Minnow
A proven big bass catcher, the Pro Point Lures Crunch Minnow delivers a perfectly balanced action and an in-depth detailing that is second-to-none. Internally, the Pro Point Lures Crunch Minnow is equipped with a lead core that produces bullet-like casts and gives the bait a stabilized action at any speed. In addition, the inner core is painted to give it a unique, reflective hue that blends into the profile of the bait. For even more attraction, the Pro Point Lures Crunch Minnow features 3D eyes, gill plates, lifelike fins, and a small boot tail for a natural swimming wiggle.
Capable of handling abuse from multiple big fish, the Pro Point Lures Crunch Minnow is designed to flex around the heavy wire Daiichi 3/0 hook to reduce tearing and scraping. As versatile as it is effective, the Pro Point Lures Crunch Minnow can be fished on A-rigs, with a fast or slow retrieve, hopped along the bottom, or thrown onto beds to agitate bass. On a straight retrieve, Pro Point Lures suggests keeping a slight bow in your line for positive hook sets. Offered in a 4-1/2" size that all bass love, the Pro Point Lures Crunch Minnow is a detailed delicacy that will have fish drooling in anticipation.

Skip to comments.London Theater Balcony Believed to Have Collapsed
Posted on 12/19/2013 1:11:21 PM PST by MWestMom
Broke on Fox News within the last hour. The Apollo theater was showing a family show The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Nighttime. Injuries have been reported.
(Excerpt) Read more at world.time.com ...
...latest has a section of the ceiling. Theater was opened in 1901 and take into account some construction going on next door...(vibrations)
dang ... prayers up.
Anybody hear someone scream "Allah Akbar" before the collapse?
The curious incident of the collapsing of the London Theater Balcony during the incident of the dog in the nighttime.
The curious incident of the collapsing of the London Theater Balcony during the incident of the dog in the nighttime.
Built in London in 1901, claimed to be a very steep balcony.
The balcony of part of the roof collapsed. Perhaps caused by heavy rain.
"Chris Christie, please don't sit up there" was heard shortly before the collapse.
Prayers up for those involved and for those who are on the scene to assist. Apparently it was a children's show and the theater was packed.
Prayers up!
Too British. A bit more PC there, what?
God Bless those suffered and suffering....
On Jan 28th 1922 the roof of the Knickerbocker Theater in Washington DC collapsed and killed 98 people. A snowstorm caused that collapse.
Hopefully injuries in this theater will be light, We will have to wait and see.
Show is probably based on the book about the asperger kid.
Prayers for everyone there.
Prayers for the safety of all in attendance, and those responding.
Live Stream here
So far, it seems like they have about 30 injured. I don't believe there have been any deaths so far.
One of the reports said that the entire central dome collapsed.
Oh no.
Tsk, tsk, I knew somebody would blame fat people. I didn't think it would be a Freeper.
I saw a play there a few years back. Scary.
Prayers up.
the story about the dog that for some strange reason didn't bark one night ???
Sherlock Holmes or something similar..
From live stream - built in 1901 refurbished in 1932.
That pic makes one think that if that whole balcony fell, there will be fatalities. Lord have mercy.
BBC: "Five people have been seriously injured"
2 meter x 2 meter section fell. So maybe not the whole thing.
That sounds a bit better don-o but is still worrisome.
My fear is the resulting panic.
Beautiful theater.
The curious reporting of the curious incident of the collapsing of the London Theater Balcony during the curious incident of the dog in the nighttime.
Aw hell. :/
Live feed: Part of ceiling, not balcony, collapsed.
A few years ago we saw "We Will Rock You" at one of the main West End theaters....but I don't think it was the Apollo.But if the Apollo is as old and "worn" as our theater appeared to be a collapse doesn't surprise me.But then I'm no structural engineer.
Perhaps they have more than one.
Seven now.

Tampa Bay's 'Mystery Monkey' Apprehended After Three-Year Monkeyhunt
A wild rhesus macaque that has been stalking residents of the Tampa Bay area for the past three years was captured yesterday in St. Petersburg after being tranquilized by trappers from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
Despite being slowed down by a sleeping agent, the so-called "Mystery Monkey" still made a valiant attempt to flee, eluding his captors for an additional "50 to 100 yards" before two FWC staffers and a vet finally nabbed him.
He was subsequently transported to an animal hospital where he will now be tested for contagions.
If he is disease-free, vets will then try to determine where the monkey came from, whether he has an owner, and, ultimately, where he will live going forward.
It has long been surmised that Mystery Monkey had either left or been cast out of a colony in Silver Springs. Since then he has been showing up randomly in and around Tampa, eventually landing himself his very own Facebook fan page.
But things got serious recently when the Mystery Monkey attacked a 60-year-old woman from St. Petersburg, clawing at her torso and biting her neck.
An effort to lure the monkey with bananas failed, though the monkey did manage to make off with the bananas.

Cute but Uncomfortable
"I ordered these shoes and promptly returned them. They are super cute and a good color but the toe box is pretty narrow and the shoe is a bit short. I wear a 6.5 normally and my feet are on the wider end of normal but not wide. These were uncomfortably cramped in the toes. Too bad they didn't work for me, they looked great!"

New Jersey's Real Estate _ the band, not the land _ are hot property, and about to become hotter as they head this way for this summer's St Jerome's Laneway Festival in Auckland. Kim Gillespie talks to guitarist Matt Mondanile about the upcoming gig.
It's 7pm on a Monday night in Brooklyn, New York, and Matt Mondanile's on the line to New Zealand, a country he's visited with his band Real Estate before.
He tells me he has a particular fondness for Dunedin, Wellington and Auckland's "pretty'' black sand beaches and that the band are really looking forward to returning to our shores for next month's Laneway Festival.
Real Estate hail from Ridgewood, New Jersey, a small town home to author Harlan Coben and also known for producing actors Robert Sean Leonard and Frankie Muniz.
Mondanile's bandmates include singer/guitarist Martin Courtney, bassist Alex Bleek, drummer Jackson Pollis and Jonah Maurer on keyboards and guitar.
Courtney and Mondanile's parents were in real estate _ hence the band name.
"We like it because it's real simple,'' Mondanile tells me. Fair enough.
I ask him to describe the band's sound for newcomers. He says Real Estate sound like a traditional indie rock
band _ with a real connection with the "angular indie bands'' of the past 20 to 30 years.
And at the far end of that spectrum lie a couple of familiar names. Turns out Mondanile's a big fan of Flying Nun legends like the Clean and the Chills. "And we're big fans of the Bats _ we got their new album last time we were out. We're big New Zealand-heads''.
Their main inspiration, however, is as simple as the music itself. "It's melodies ... we've always loved music.
Martin would say lyrics are important but they come after melodies.''
I suggest the band sounds like summer _ in a chill-out relaxed kind of way. "Yeah it's not hard to listen to,'' he says. "We keep an ear out for writing a pleasing song''.
And they've been doing a bit of writing. He says fans can also expect a few new songs at the concert. But a new album might be a little way off. Mondanile says he's not sure exactly when the follow-up to 2011's Days is due and he doesn't want to make any promises.
The new material is set to go off on stage though. His favourite tracks to play live, be side All The Same, the closing track from Days, are generally the new songs.
And we can expect a slightly heavier approach when we see them live at Laneway. "It's different from the record,'' says Mondanile. "We're fuller sounding live _ more of a rock band experience''.
St Jerome's Laneway Festival featuring 24 acts, including Tame Impala (who Mondanile's hanging out to see) is on Monday, January 28 at Silo Park in Auckland's Wynyard Quarter.

Remembering Local Fallen Firefighter Sean Misner
SANTA YNEZ, Calif. - Seven months ago, Santa Ynez native Sean Misner was killed in Arizona, along with 18 other firefighters.
"A thought of Sean will come to my mind and I will have to stop what I'm doing. It will take my breath away," says Sean's mother, Tammy Misner.
It's pain Tammy Misner says will never go away.
"It's hard and it's always going to be hard," she says.
Tammy remembers the awful call she got from her brother, who let her know her son Sean was one of the 19 Granite Mountain Hotshots who died battling a fast-moving wildfire in Arizona.
"Tammy, this is the hardest thing I've ever had to do and that was it. That was all I could hear," remembers Tammy.
The 26-year-old married his wife Amanda, who at the time was pregnant with their son. Now named after his dad, Sean Jackson is 5 months old.
"He cant replace Sean, but he gives so much joy. He's a part of Sean," says Tammy.
The proud mother says everyday a piece of Sean is with her. "We had him cremated," she says as she holds up her star necklace, "so I carry a little bit of him everyday, everywhere I go."
Sean's bravery inspired his former Santa Ynez High School football coach, to make a difference, by founding the American Hotshot Extreme Run.
"We are giving 100% of the profit to fallen firefighters," says Founder Dave Henrey, American Hotshot Extreme Run.
Tammy and Dave are working to spread the word about the cause. Tammy says it's helping her cope with the loss of her son, but she still misses him everyday.
"His smile and his hugs. He was a hugger," says Tammy.
The American Hotshots 10-mile Extreme Run is a two-day event on Saturday and Sunday, May 17 and 18. For more information on the run and to register: www.hotshotextreme.com

"I found these in clearance and fell instantly in love. The wedge doesn't feel high at all, the shoes are lightweight, comfortable and make you feel kick-up-your-leg flirty. They run slightly short, I'm an 8.5 or 9 and I wish I had found a 9, the toe room is a lil tight. Other than that, great find, love them! P.S. A bonus is that I found a leopard purse on DSW's 70% clearance that same day and they go PERFECTLY with these shoes. I'm a happy girl."

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Environmentalists are counting on a game and fish amendment as their last, best chance this legislative session to control frack sand mining in Minnesota.
The amendment would block excavation within a mile of any trout stream in southeastern Minnesota. It has the backing of Gov. Mark Dayton as a way to prevent an explosion of sand mining in a region where the state has a substantial investment in recreational fishing.
Ambitious legislation backed by frack sand mining opponents has generally been defeated this session, so environmentalists are pinning their hopes on the trout stream language. The amendment could get a vote in the Senate as early as Thursday.
Minnesota Industrial Sand Council spokesman Fred Corrigan tells the Star Tribune (http://bit.ly/12XJMFR ) he doesn't think the amendment will pass.

Was Scott Howson A Bad GM? Well, Is the Pope Catholic?
Graphic Comments
February 15 2013 01:50PM
Looks like there's a couple of struggling organizations looking for new leadership this week.
However, unlike Scott Howson, the Pope wasn't fired but chose to retire voluntarily. Mind you, it would be pretty tough to fire the Pope for cause, what with the whole "Papal infallibility" and all. That's not something you could ever accuse Scott Howson of. His record of abject fallibility is about as long as the Pope's hat is tall. As the headline to @CamCharron's piece over at Puck Daddy put it, "Blue Jackets part ways with GM Scott Howson, probably because of all the losing."
Anyway, all this talk about the Pope got me thinking about how long it's been since I went to confession...
Let's just say it's been longer than the Maple Leafs' record of futility. Less recent than the Canadiens' last Stanley Cup win.
Coincidentally, a confession is also one of the only ways we'll ever know what really happened in the game between these two storied franchises on Saturday night:
Unfortunately Mikhail Grabovski plays for the Maple Leafs and not the Canucks, so we will never really know whether he actually did bite Montreal's Max Pacioretty during a scrum on Saturday night. Maybe Shanahan and the League should set up a CSI team for cases like this where a Canucks skater isn't involved.
It might have been a Leaf biting a Hab, but it was Montreal that left the Bell Centre wilth a bitter taste in their mouth after a 6-0 drubbing at the hand of a resurgent Toronto team. James Mirtle wrote up an interesting piece in the Globe and Mail yesterday delving into one of the potential reasons behind the Maple Leafs' improved play of late.
You can read the full article for the details, but essentially he thinks it's because Carlyle has implemented a defensive scheme very similar to the one Jacques Lemaire pioneered in New Jersey. The cool part of the piece is that Mirtle references shot distance data from @theninjagreg's cool online shot distance tool to make his case, showing that average shot distances against the Leafs have increased this year compared to last year.
So that's all very interesting, but the snippet that caught my eye was this quote from Dion Phaneuf:
"The little things that have been implemented with the changes in the system, when we do play that system, it gives us a chance every night. That's why we've had success this year."
And that's just it. When you don't have the skill to drive play and control possession, your best bet is to take your chance on chance. As I've noted before, this defense-first strategy on the part of underskilled teams is most prevalent during the playoffs when the stakes are higher and over the course of a seven game series, a few lucky bounces can be all you need. I'm not sure it's sustainable over the course of a full season, even a truncated one like this.
Sure, the NJ Devils made this an art, but they had some skill to go along with their trap.
There was a really nice piece over at Japers' Rink last week that came at this from another angle. In that post, J.P. fuses some insight with stats-based analysis and wraps it all up with some great writing to pinpoint where things went wrong for what was at one fleeting point in time, the most exciting and dynamic team in hockey. Yes, the Washington Capitals.
You would never know it, looking at the way the team has performed the last couple of seasons. J.P. concludes that, then coach, Bruce Boudreau's decision to switch from a high tempo, possession-driven offence to a defense-first trap team while in the midst of a slump was the beginning of the end for both Boudreau and the Caps' dominance.
Instead of controlling the puck and letting offensive skill decide the game, the trap levels the playing field. That's why it's the last resort for struggling teams and those who don't have the skill right from the start. As J.P. puts it:
The fewer the goals that are scored in a game, the more likely it is that chance -- a bounce here, a power-play there -- will decide the outcome. And that's essentially what the trap is -- an attempt to water down and muddy up the track so that the horses can't run... in either direction.
Some people say that "you have to be good to be lucky," and to some extent that's true. But what's even more true, is if you're good, don't let it come down to luck:
That's essentially what has happened to the Caps of late.
They've turned into just another team that lets luck decide games, despite having some of the most creative offensive players in the game. Or at least they did at one point.
Now, Boudreau is in Anaheim, back to coaching a more up-tempo style that has the Ducks playing well enough to be a playoff contender; something nobody thought possible coming into this season. On the player front, the Caps let Semin walk away for nothing as a free agent. Backstrom and Green have struggled with injuries. And Alex Ovechkin, well, let's just say the Washington Capitals are facing a situation much like that of the Canadian Mint:
As J.P. noted in the Japers' Rink post, "sometimes the coin-flip comes up heads, sometimes it doesn't."
I guess in this case, the coin being flipped is a penny.

Mackerel Sky Sunset
Photograph by John Leslie/Alamy
A "mackerel sky" adds to a striking sunset scene in Grimsby, Lincolnshire, England. Ripples of altocumulus or cirrocumulus clouds—resembling the markings of a king mackerel—give the phenomenon its name.
Altocumulus Undulatus Clouds

Fluffy altocumulus undulatus clouds stain the sky red above a row of trees. These mid-level clouds, which form above 6,500 feet (2,000 meters), often herald an approaching storm.
Golden Gate Bridge in Clouds
Photograph by Tom Tracy Photography/Alamy
San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge appears to float on a sea of surrounding clouds. Such low-level clouds, called stratus clouds, occur below 6,500 feet (2,000 meters) and often bring rain or snow. Clouds that touch the ground are known as fog.
Lenticular Clouds

The summit of Washington's Mount Rainier lies hidden beneath a stack of horizontally layered lenticular clouds. These clouds are formed by high winds blowing over rough terrain and are sometimes described as a "stack of pancakes."
Sunset Thunderstorm
Photograph by Gary Crabbe/Alamy
The beauty of a Tassajara, California, sunset is enhanced by towering cumulonimbus clouds—but they will likely spoil the serene scene. These tallest of all clouds often produce violent storms of rain, thunder, lightning, hail, and high winds.
Cumulonimbus Clouds
Photograph by Corbis Premium Collection/Alamy
Cumulonimbus clouds are the highest of all clouds and may soar above 50,000 feet (15,000 meters). Their distinctive anvil-top shapes occur because of the high lateral winds encountered at such altitudes.
Tucson Lightning

The bright lights of Tucson, Arizona, are more than matched by a flash of lightning far above the city skyline. The sunset scene shows a classic cumulonimbus cloud formation.
Saskatchewan Thunderheads

Cumulonimbus clouds, which are associated with severe storms, build in the skies above Mitchellton, Saskatchewan, Canada. Clouds form when warm, humid air cools enough that water vapor condenses around tiny particles to form water droplets or ice crystals.

Colorful clouds and calm water create a striking sunset scene for canoeists on Winisk River in Ontario, Canada. A single cloud may hold billions of pounds of water—but not all clouds bring rain.

The Emery County Recreation board meets monthly in Castle Dale and also holds meetings in Green River. They hear reports by the recreation district director Gaylee Jeffs and from each of the board members. Each town in the county has a representative on the board sent by the city and there are two at-large members.
In the November meeting, Jeffs talked to the board about making a few changes to the contract concerning the Bear Creek Campground host. The county attorney made a few suggestions and the board discussed the changes and will talk about it again in a future meeting.
The board decided to send appreciation certificates to the presidents of the leagues in the county who facilitate the sports programs. The board decided against giving any incentives for rodeo and fair employees.
The tentative budget for 2010 was presented and approved by the board.
Board member Bart Cox, presented to the board a brief training on open public meetings and the proper procedures for carrying out these meetings.
Each board member reported on activities their city has upcoming. Dan Whiteleather reported the Castle Dale Christmas Party will be on Dec. 10 at the recreation center.
He also talked to the board about bids to replace the Bear Creek Campground pavilion roofs. Cathy Cowley said the Huntington City Turkey Trot was on Nov. 26, Thanksgiving Day. Cox said Orangeville has plans for a Christmas party on Dec. 5. Kalynn Fail said Green River Christmas is on Dec. 5 at the Fire House and the Santa Giveaway starts at 11 a.m. Dec. 5 at 6 p.m is the First Annual Christmas Light Parade at the Fire House. Light up your vehicle of choice and join in. If you would like to join in pick up a parade entry form at Green River City Hall. After the parade there will be hot chocolate and cookies at the City Park.
John Nielson wants emphasis put on the Huntington ball complex. Jeffs went over plans for the future improvements on the complex. "I am in the process of trying to get approved for a C.I.B. grant for improvements to the complex and a sport court," said Jeffs.
Jordan Leonard said Ferron held a scarecrow contest recently and the golf course expansion project is progressing nicely. Ferron's Christmas party is on Dec. 7.
In the director's report, Jeffs said a holiday youth basketball tourney will be held on Dec. 28-29 at the Spartan Center. The gun club has started their winter shooting schedule. Their are 430 youth registered for Junior Jazz. Seven teams are playing in the mens basketball league. The rappeling trip was cancelled due to an emergency. The youth football league recently ended their season along with soccer and flag football. The youth football all-stars played up North in the all-star league.
Jeffs plans to put together a booklet which outlines activities in the county. It will include information about all the sport programs offered by the recreation district with registration information. It will also include information from other organizations and county and community activities. The booklet will be ready sometime in the spring and will be mailed to everyone in the county.
The Desertview Pro-Rodeo will be held on July 29, 30 and 31, 2010. The fair will follow the week of Aug. 4-7.
The next recreation board will be on Dec. 14 at 6 p.m. at the recreation center in Castle Dale and is open to the public.

The vendor says it may go public when the timing is right.
Zak Stambor
Silverpop Systems Inc., which provides e-mail and other digital marketing services, will announce tomorrow that it has raised $25 million.
Private equity firm Escalate Capital Partners and Silicon Valley Bank led the funding round.
A spokeswoman for the vendor says Silverpop may go public in the future, but that it plans to "wait until the timing is right."
Silverpop offers tools that tie together retailers' e-mail, web, mobile and social marketing efforts to present consumers personalized messages across channels, the company says.
The vendor says it has more than 1,800 customers, representing roughly 5,000 brands worldwide—including 380 customers it added last year. The vendor's revenue grew 40% compared to 2011, Silverpop says. Those gains are from marketers seeking to adapt to the rapidly evolving ways consumers navigate the web, says Bill Nussey, CEO of Silverpop.
"The world of marketing is undergoing a fundamental shift with customers now more discerning, more educated and more selective than ever before and no longer willing to be part of an audience or locked into a single channel," he says. "Our solution uniquely lets marketers engage each customer or prospect as an individual resulting in a customer experience that is unmatched in today's world of audiences and segments."

When we were younger, the cousins would spend many of our days together – after school, on weekends – playing games that we made up. Chris's creative mind would always come up with the most ingenious diversions for kids with nothing else to do. There was always something quirky in the way that the game would unfold, some imaginative element introduced. The games never lacked structure; they may have been creative and fantastic, but they were organised in strangely logical ways that made sense to us all. As we grew older, sadly, we stopped playing as many games as we used to. Later though, when Chris was studying at Perth TAFE, he drew constantly, in charcoal or pencil, and he would draw incredible creatures, things from his imagination that were neither scary nor approachable but something in between. In the worlds in which these creatures existed there was, again, a strange logic.
To this day, Chris's artistic practice reflects his natural sensibilities. In his work he does not impose order, but seeks to extract the natural order of things, no matter how tangled or absurd. His creative eye sees logic in the most illogical of circumstances and situations. His elegant painting style makes sense of and contains the dream-like environments his subjects often inhabit. It is this self-contained world-within-worlds approach that makes Chris's work unique. Like him it seeks a balance between science, logic and the deep underlying mysticism that is part of his cultural heritage. The two are not in conflict but co-exist and feed each other.
In the case of Wrong side of the Hay 2005, the spiritual and the actual combine, with the ancestral story-lines of the land brought to life in a ghostly shimmer over the length of the painting. The two men depicted in the work are unaware of the framework of spiritual inheritance embodied within the land, which is the birthright of every Indigenous person, depicted by the artist as unbroken curves over the horizon. We are reminded of Indigenous reality as the orderliness of the European-style landscape is interrupted by this Dreaming motif.
The artist has conducted research on the iconography of the Nyoongar, the Indigenous people of south-west Western Australia, and it is versions of these motifs and signifiers that make their way into his work. In Swan River 50 miles up 2006 Chris references how colonisers see Indigenous people in the same way that they viewed the flora and fauna of the new country: able to be scientifically categorised and de-contextualised. They saw the land as there for their exclusive use, to be sectioned, partitioned and sold off in lots, irrespective of prior claim.
Target 2005 is more sinister – the symbol of the target is used to communicate the idea that not only Indigenous people but the land itself at the time of settlement in Australia was the target of greed, ignorance and, as represented by the single Indigenous female figure in the work, lust.
New Water Dreaming 2005 directly references a lithograph produced by Louis Auguste de Sainson, who was the appointed draughtsman on the Astrolabe, commanded by Dumont d'Urville. It depicts an area within King George Sound, in the south-west of Western Australia, with members of the d'Urville expedition loading water onto one of the ship's longboats.
Interaction between the crew and the Minang people[1] – Chris's people – is portrayed as positive, with several individuals helping to load the water. The diagram over the work points to the Europeans' ways of thinking about obtaining water, which
were new and different for the Minang people. Scientific thinking began to create structure in an environment that, to the newcomers, had no structure. The depiction of colonisers attempting to impose order on an unruly environment reflects the artist's fascination with the struggle between science and logic and less structured systems, and it is the tension between the two that creates the distinctive dialogue in Pease's work.
Clotilde Bullen
[1] The Minang are members of the Nyoongar people from a particular part of the south-west of Western Australia.
