Well in the last chapter we learnt the names of 5 of the real 6 Funeral Wreaths, they are:
Torikabuto (aconite)
Kikyou (Chinese bellflower)
Zakuro (pomegranate flower)
For fun, I decided to look up their meanings... This is no by a definitive list, just what I could find by quickly searching through the interwebs.
Daisy - Innocence, Loyal Love, I'll Never tell, Purity, Beauty
Bluebell - Humility, Constancy, Gratitude
Aconite - Misanthropy, Chivalry, Knight
Kikyou - I'm not sure exactly how it is written, but if it is the same as Kikyou from Inuyasha, then the name literally means "Unchanging Love"
Pomegranate Flower - Elegance
Depending on the meaning you select it seems to me that the Six Funeral Wreaths are in fact the exact opposite of their name's meaning... For example "Bluebell" means humility, but she is constantly bragging and running around without clothes... Not exactly a humble girl.
I don't know, it's just an idea...

Acts of the Apostles 1:1-8
Prokeimenon. Mode Plagal 4.
Psalm 117.24,29
This is the day which the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Verse: Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; for his mercy endures for ever.
IN THE FIRST BOOK, O Theophilos, I have dealt with all that Jesus began to do and teach, until the day when he was taken up, after he had given commandment through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen. To them he presented himself alive after his passion by many proofs, appearing to them during forty days, and speaking of the kingdom of God. And while staying with them he charged them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, he said, "you heard from me, for John baptized with water, but before many days you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit."
So when they had come together, they asked him, "Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom of lsrael?" He said to them, "it is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has fixed by his own authority. But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and to the end of the earth."

Phuket Transport
As the most popular island destination in Thailand, Phuket has numerous options for traveling to the island and getting around once you arrive. Both domestic and international airlines service Phuket Airport with direct flights from numerous destinations in Thailand and around Asia. Once on the island, the size of Phuket makes a rental car arguably the best option, though there are various modes of transportation if you do not wish to drive.
By Train:
There is no direct train service to Phuket. Travelers arriving by train must get off at Phun Phin Railway Station in Surat Thani Province and continue by regular bus to Phuket. For more information, call the State Railway of Thailand, 1690, 0 2223 7010, or 0 2223 7020 or visit www.railway.co.th.
By Car:
From Bangkok, take Highway No.4 (Petchakasem Road) through Petchaburi, Prachuap Khiri Khan, Chumphon, Surat Thani and Phang Nga Provinces, then cross the Thep Krasattri Bridge or Sarasin Bridge to Phuket Island. The total distance is 862 kilometers and the travel time is approximately 12 hours.
By Bus:
Air-conditioned and non air-conditioned busses leave Bangkok's Southern Bus Terminal for Phuket several times daily. Trips by air-conditioned bus, which normally leave in the evening, take about 13 hours. Call 0 2434 7192, 0 2435 1199 or visit www.transport.co.th for more information.
There are also regular bus services (VIP, air-conditioned, and non-air-conditioned) between Phuket and neighboring provinces such as Krabi, Phang Nga, Chumphon, Koh Samui (bus/boat), Nakhon Si Thammarat, Ranong, Surat Thani, Satun, Hat Yai, Takua-Pa, and Trang. Departures are from the Phuket Bus Terminal off Phang Nga Road. For more up-to-date schedules and fares, call Phuket Air-conditioned Bus Station, tel. 0 7621 1977.
By Air:
Flying to Phuket is arguably the easiest way to get to the island. Most domestic airlines operate several flights daily between Phuket and Bangkok, Samui, and Chiang Mai. Some domestic airlines operate flights from Phuket to Surat Thani, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Trang, and Hat Yai.
There are also numerous international airlines that fly directly to Phuket from various cities around Asia, including Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong, Penang, Singapore, and Sydney.
Transportation to and from the airport
Phuket International Airport is located approximately 30 kilometers north of Phuket Town. Taxis between Phuket Town and the airport cost approximately 400 baht, but the fares to the beaches range between 500 and 600 baht. Minivans charge approximately 80 baht /person to town, but 120 baht/person to Patong, Kata, and Karon Beaches. Phuket Limousine (tel. 076 248596), located approximately 1 kilometer west of the city, operates hourly shuttles to the airport from 6.30 a.m. to 7.30 p.m.
By Other:
By taxi or minibus
There are also shared taxi and van services between Phuket and other nearby provinces. Fares for either are generally around double the fare of an ordinary bus. The stations for both taxis and minivans are also on Phang Nga Road.
By Ferry
There is fairly regular boat service between Phuket and nearby islands including Koh Yao and Koh Phi Phi. During the high season (October-May), travelers may also travel by boat between Phuket and Koh Lanta. Ferries to and from Phuket and Krabi (Ao Nang/Railey Beach/Krabi Town) operate throughout the year. Various ports on Phuket provide services to these other islands and beaches with fares ranging between 300 and 500 baht. The trip may take 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on weather conditions. Some ferries service multiple locations and travelers are provided color coded stickers to avoid confustion.
Getting Around Phuket
Car Rental Service:
There are numerous car rental services on Phuket. Cars or jeeps can be rented at the airport, in Phuket Town, and at most of the more popular beaches. Be aware that only Commercial First Class Insurance provides full coverage on rental cars (as opposed to limited personal or third party only insurance). Most international car rental agencies will offer this insurance (some only for those with a valid international driver's license) while local companies may or may not. You may wish to request a copy of their insurance policy and ensure that it states "For Commercial Use". Regardless, inspect rental vehicles prior to rental and drive with caution, particularly as traffic in Thailand can be quite confusing, especially the habit of Thai motorcycles drivers to drive on the wrong side of the road.
Motorbike Rental:
For around 150 to 300 baht per day you can hire your own 100-150cc motorbike, which will typically require you to leave your passport as a deposit. Be sure to inspect bikes prior to rental and drive with extreme caution as rental motorbikes are not normally insured and accidents are frequent. Helmets are required by Thai law. Motorcycles can be rented from rental agencies located on Rasada Road or from different operators at various beaches.
Motorcycle taxis:
It costs approximately 20 baht / person / trip to travel via motorbike taxi around Phuket Town.
Songtaew and Tuk-Tuk:
Songtaews are operated along Ranong Road in Phuket Town to various destinations including most beaches. The cost ranges from 20 baht to 25 baht / person / trip. Normally the service is provided from 7.00 a.m. until 5.00 p.m.
Tuk-Tuks can be chartered for travel between the beaches and Phuket Town or between different beaches; however, rates are negotiable and will cost at least 200 baht to Patong Beach, 230 baht to Karon and Kata Beaches and 300 baht to Nai Han and Kamala Beaches. Within Phuket Town, Tuk-Tuks should cost 20 baht for short distances.
Taxi Meter:
Visitors can call 076 232157-8 to get a metered taxi that will take them anywhere on Phuket. The metered fare will include a 20 baht surcharge.
Boat to islands nearby Phuket:
Boats to nearby islands can be found at the following ports:
Rawai Beach:
An old local port, it is from here that long-tail boats depart for nearby islands such as Koh He, Koh Racha Yai, Koh Mai Thon, Koh Lon, etc. The chartered price depends on the distance.
Ao Chalong:
The largest port of Phuket servicing all kinds of boats, including cruisers of tour companies that organize package tours to other islands.
Ao Makham:
Located near Phanwa Cape, this port is only for cruisers and container ships.
Boat Lagoon Port (Ao Sapam):
This port is for traveling boats of tour companies.

Wanting to install a new pedestal lav, but the trap is too low for the opening in the pedestal. I put in a new super-short drainpipe as well as a short trap (with the first curve about 2.5 in. from the wall, but the pedestal still hits the lower part of the trap preventing the basin from contacting the wall by about 1.25 in.
Should I knock out a chunk of drywall and attempt to move the (galvanized) drainpipe up by about 3 in., or should I construct some sort of wooden mounting block/backsplash to fill the gap between the back of the basin and the wall?

Citizen's Arrest and Self-defence Act
Government Orders
10:40 a.m.
Marlene Jennings Notre-Dame-de-Grâce—Lachine, QC
Mr. Speaker, I take note of your admonishment. I will make every effort to respect that admonishment and to adhere to the rules of the House of Commons in terms of use of sitting members' family names or first names when taking part in debates or rising to speak in the House.
I do, however, warn that it may be difficult if I am citing from an official government document and that document adheres to the written instructions of the sitting Prime Minister that the term "Government of Canada" should no longer be used; it should be his last name in front of the word "government". It might be difficult, but I will make every effort to adhere to the rules of the House.
When I talk about Government of Canada in my debate, I will make every effort not to use the Prime Minister's name, although he has requested all public civil servants that it is no longer the Government of Canada, it is his government.
Mr. Speaker, Mr. Chen had to incur significant legal costs in order to defend himself under the current provisions of the Criminal Code. Thankfully, he was acquitted, as were the two other individuals who worked for him in October of 2010.
If we heed the words of the Minister of Justice, did the government at that time bring forth amendments to the Criminal Code provisions which deal with citizens' arrests? No, it did not. It had months and months in which to do so. It had two private members' bills, both sitting members, who had tabled their respective private members' bills and had offered the government to take them over, table them in the government's name and they and their caucuses would be supportive.
It is yet another example of how the government under the sitting Prime Minister, who now wants the Government of Canada to be called his government, uses real issues that can have a real impact, sometimes devastating, on citizens' lives as a political football. The Conservatives are now worried about possibly the vote in that particular section of Toronto and perhaps in other areas of Canada, so now all of a sudden the issue has become important to the them and a priority.
The Liberals will not stand in the way of getting Bill C-60 to the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights quickly. If any member of the government were to stand in future debate and make that insinuation, they would be wrong and they would be making that false insinuation knowingly, because it has been stated here by the justice critic of the official opposition.
My colleague from British Columbia rose and asked a question of the minister. The minister brushed off his question. I wonder why the minister and his colleagues, whose party forms the Government of Canada--I am getting too close to violating again, I was tempted to use the sitting Prime Minister's preferred term--brushed it off.
At committee we wish to make clear and certain that there are no unintended consequences with this legislation and with the proposed amendments, so we need to ensure that the term "reasonable grounds" is clear and the reasonable time after the commission of a criminal offence or reasonable grounds that there was the commission or the attempt to commit a criminal offence and the time in which the citizen's arrest is effected is also well defined.
The other issue is we want to make sure it appears that if a citizen has reasonable grounds to believe that another individual is either committing an offence against the owner's property or the person who has legal possession of that property and effects a citizen's arrest, in some cases using reasonable force, and it turns out the person was mistaken, the individual who was presumed to be a culprit and committing a criminal offence or to have committed a criminal offence in a reasonable timeframe wherein the citizen's arrest could be effected, the person effecting the arrest is protected.
I believe it is clear that individuals are protected. If they are in fact the owners of the property or duly authorized to be in possession of the property and had reasonable grounds to believe another individual was attempting to commit a criminal offence against that property and within a reasonable time effected a citizen's arrest using reasonable force, then that person is protected.
However, clearly there is nothing in the provisions for the individual who is the subject of the suspicions and ultimately the citizen's arrest if it turns out he or she was not committing an offence. Individuals who may have been subjected to damages to their reputation or their own belongings may have civil remedies available and it will be interesting to hear the minister speak to that when he appears before committee.
I have been pretty good so far. I have avoided using the sitting Prime Minister's surname in front of the word "government", as he has requested be done by all public servants and in any official communication going out from any government department or agency. I have been good about that, however difficult and tempting it has been.
My colleague asked the question about what, if any, protections there are for citizens who become the object of suspicion by another and placed under citizen's arrest, which turns out to be a false arrest because the individual thought to be a criminal is not and has every right to the property in question. Those are issues that need to be dealt with because we do not want to create another category of victims.
We want citizens in lawful possession of property to be able, in reasonable circumstances with reasonable grounds, to protect it. However, we also do not wish to create a category of new victims where people do not understand because we have not done the work.
It is not just the opposition. The Government of Canada will have to conduct clear educational advertising, and not like it did with its economic plan which was disguised political partisan advertising. This needs to be clear educational advertising so that everybody in Canada understands what these new provisions mean, what they allow and do not allow, and what can be lawfully done in different circumstances. Hopefully these provisions will provide very clear limits.
I will conclude by saying that Liberals have been calling for this bill for months, if not over a year, since the time that Mr. Chen was originally arrested by the police for trying to defend his property. We are pleased that the government has finally brought forth a piece of legislation. We are anxious to see it in committee so that we can ensure that it does not go beyond what it should and that it does not, in any way, shape, or form create the unintended consequence of vigilantism.

France Bonsant Compton—Stanstead, QC
Mr. Speaker, I am not a lawyer, and since Bill C-60 seems complex, I would like my colleague to help me understand by answering a question that came to my mind this morning.
Would this bill allow me, as a private citizen, to arrest one or more individuals suspected of committing election fraud?
Citizen's Arrest and Self-defence Act
Government Orders
10:55 a.m.
Marlene Jennings Notre-Dame-de-Grâce—Lachine, QC
Mr. Speaker, the hon. member may not have any legal training, but she clearly has a legal mind. I would suggest that she take a law program if she is looking to do some courses. The faculty of political science and law at the Université du Québec à Montréal would be an excellent place for that. The program is available at other Université du Québec campuses as well. I graduated from that program, and I found both the law course and the political science course to be excellent.
Since some of the charges against the two Conservative senators and two high-ranking officials in the Conservative Party—or maybe I should talk about the Prime Minister's party, since he wants to attach his name to everything—concern the falsification or production of fake invoices, maybe the management at Retail Media Group should have the offenders arrested for falsifying the company's property. Invoices carrying the company's legal name belong to Retail Media Group. But it seems that some of the charges against these four high-ranking Conservatives, including two sitting senators, have to do with producing fake invoices.
That is an excellent question.

The Speaker Peter Milliken
Given the time, it might be prudent to move along with statements by members. We can resume the questions and comments after question period is over. I have a feeling that, given the amount of time left for questions, if we start more I will have to cut somebody off and I am reluctant to do that.
In the circumstances I will call for statements by members.
Cornwall Chapter of Victoria's Quilts
Statements By Members
10:55 a.m.
Guy Lauzon Stormont—Dundas—South Glengarry, ON
Mr. Speaker, last week, I had the pleasure of visiting a truly remarkable group of women, the Cornwall chapter of Victoria's Quilts.
I walked into St. Matthew's Lutheran Church and was greeted by a roomful of compassion. There were 40 women of all ages and descriptions working together in a labour of love to make homemade quilts for cancer patients undergoing treatments. Since its beginning in 2002, the Cornwall chapter of Victoria's Quilts has produced 1,967 quilts to provide comfort for cancer patients.
I am tremendously proud of all the dedicated volunteers of the Cornwall chapter of Victoria's Quilts and, on behalf of the 1,967 cancer patients who received this generosity, I thank each and every one of them. Each quilt carries the Bible passage, "Be not afraid, I am with you always."
I can assure the House that this wonderful experience of last week will be with me always.

Mr. Speaker, for nearly 100 years, Big Brothers Big Sisters has been making a positive difference in the lives of our nation's youth by developing and implementing a wide range of mentoring programs.
Serving as role models, these mentors teach by example the importance of giving and giving back, of staying in school and of having respect for family, peers and community. Each time they pair a child with a mentor, they start something incredible: a life-changing relationship built on friendship, trust and empowerment.
Witnessing the transformation of a child into a confident, concerned and motivated young person is a remarkable thing. Ushering them into adulthood, seeing them grow into a successful, responsible member of their community and society at large is even more satisfying. Proudly, it is something its staff, volunteers and donors help bring about every day.
There is no more important investment that we as individuals can make than helping our nation's children realize and share their full potential.
I and Big Brothers Big Sisters believe in the value and values of mentoring.

Luc Malo Verchères—Les Patriotes, QC
Mr. Speaker, in September 2010, a winemaker from Saint-Amable, Martin Gemme, opened his retail shop for the first time to offer his first vintage.
Within weeks, a third of his production, 1,800 bottles in total, had been sold. Mr. Gemme's winery, Domaine Elbama, is the first such business in the Marguerite-D'Youville area and has quickly become a source of pride for the entire region.
Starting the business required a clear vision, plenty of ambition and lots of hard work. Indeed, this new vocation came as a result of crop diversion after the golden nematode infested Martin Gemme's land in 2006. Instead of giving up, he decided to innovate. With the help of Philippe Gemme, Daniel Blain and Maxime Gratton, who collaborated on the project, as well as Richard Champagne, who supplied the first vines, Mr. Gemme was able to reinvent his business. Together, they have built a successful family business. It has gotten off to an impressive start, which I hope bodes well for the future, and it remains a source of inspiration for everyone in Saint-Amable.

Jim Maloway Elmwood—Transcona, MB
Mr. Speaker, over the last few days, the Minister of Transport, Infrastructure and Communities has assured us that there will not be layoffs of Air Canada heavy maintenance workers. However, contrary to the minister's statements, Aveos has already posted layoff notices for some of those very jobs.
For example, in Winnipeg, 58 workers will be laid off on May 12 and another 40 workers on June 30, for a total of 98, or almost 100 people. Vancouver will lose 101 workers on May 12 and Montreal will lose 72 on June 7.
Air Canada has already had heavy maintenance work done in the U.S. and China, and Aveos has begun international maintenance work in Central America. Air Canada's heavy maintenance contract with Aveos expires in 2013.
The workers at the Canadian facilities are very concerned that, after the contract expires, Aveos and the government will not honour the intent of the Air Canada act.
Canadian International AutoShow

Mr. Speaker, this year marked the 38th edition of the Canadian International AutoShow, Canada's largest consumer trade show.
The auto show is an independent component of the Toronto Automobile Dealers Association which, since 1908, has been at the forefront of consumer protection and the voice of greater Toronto's 340 new car dealers.
Scotiabank recently reported that, "Canada is scheduled to post the largest increase in vehicle output across North America in early 2011...". It also reported that, "We estimate that rising vehicle output will add roughly 1.5 percentage points to economic growth in Canada...".
Coming from St. Catharines, I take a special pride in the auto industry and in General Motors. This year was special since the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada gave its 2011 Canada Car of the Year Award to the Chevrolet Cruz, a car built by General Motors.
I am pleased to stand in the House today to say that I am proud of our government's record of supporting the auto industry that, in turn, supports the working families who rely so heavily on it.

Mr. Speaker, I rise in remembrance of, and to pay tribute to, Shahbaz Bhatti, Pakistan's minority affairs minister who was tragically assassinated this week.
Minister Bhatti was a courageous and heroic figure who literally put his life on the line in defence of religious freedom, equality and minority rights in Pakistan. He had no illusions about the price he might pay for his courageous advocacy.
As he told me when we met just a month ago, he was under standing threats from extremists for his efforts, especially with regard to the repeal of the blasphemy laws that had been used to suppress the Christian minority and where the mere accusation can incite hatred and even death. Indeed, Minister Bhatti was already under a fatwa death threat when we spoke.
Pakistan has lost a great and courageous son of its people and we have lost a great hero in the struggle for human rights. We honour his memory best by standing steadfast against hatred and extremism as he inspired us to do.

The blanket honours the sacrifice and courage of our Canadian war veterans while sharing an important piece of our collective history.
Rachel won first place in the Historica–Dominion Institute's Art from Memory Challenge by drawing inspiration from the memories of relatives who fought in World War II. She further honoured veterans by donating 20% of her prize winnings to the Perley and Rideau Veterans' Health Centre in Ottawa.
I would also like to acknowledge her parents, Campbell and Elizabeth MacGillivray, who are very proud of Rachel and who have joined me here on Parliament Hill today to celebrate this wonderful achievement.

Mr. Speaker, many of us in this chamber take being able to see and hear for granted but what would we do if this was taken away from us?
This past weekend in February, the Moose Jaw Lions Club hosted its annual A Night with the Riders fundraiser, which helped raise $20,000 for assistance dogs for the disabled in Saskatchewan. Nine members of the Saskatchewan Roughriders football team took part in this event.
People, like Norman Fedrau of Central Butte, who was injured in an accident and lost his sight, are grateful for the assistance they have received through this program. Through the Lions, Norman received his assistance dog, Austin, who is named after the former head coach of the Saskatchewan Roughriders, Kent Austin.
I salute our Rider nation, both for the support that it gives our team during the season and for the support it is giving now to those who need it. I hope all members will join me in supporting the Roughriders and the Lions for the wonderful work they do.

Mr. Speaker, last week, with my former and, let me stress, future Brant MP, Lloyd St. Amand, I toured a dozen-plus abandoned or scaled-back businesses in Brantford. These closures represent hundreds of lost jobs. It was sad.
However, one person said, "Not so. We've taken over one of those plants, so it is a wonderful story".
I congratulate Brant Screen Craft for the expansion of its company, for making use of the emptied Crane facility, and for creating jobs. That part of the story is indeed excellent.
the purpose of the tour, however, was to highlight the still far greater preponderance of losses. Being able to use the Crane facility is good but the fact that Crane had to close and all those jobs were lost is, I repeat, sad.
I have asked the folks at Brant Screen Craft to give credit where it is due. They said that their corporate tax cuts were responsible for their decision to expand and it was in fact the Liberal government that drastically reduced corporate taxes from 29% to 19%. I am glad that our years of Liberal work in making that competitive helped Brant Screen Craft.

Mr. Speaker, as we saw earlier this week, when the President of the Treasury Board tabled the main estimates, our government is committed to keeping taxes low and ensuring that government spending is prudent and affordable. We are avoiding reckless new spending commitments that will lead to higher taxes that kill jobs and hurt Canadian families. Our prudent approach to economic management is clearly the best choice for the Canadian economy.
In contrast, the Liberal leader wants to trigger an unnecessary and opportunistic election over the government's upcoming budget. That is not because of anything in the budget, after all, the Liberal leader has not even seen it yet. He is upset because we will not raise taxes on job creators.
The Liberals have made job killing tax hikes the centrepiece of their vision for Canada. That is a damaging vision, and we call on the Liberal leader to reconsider.

Craig Barrett, chairman of Gov. Jan Brewer's education council, faced a tough audience when he addressed Southeast Valley educators about the new Arizona Common Core Standards last week.
Barrett, the former CEO and chairman of Intel Corp., told 45 educators ranging from classroom teachers to superintendents and school-board members that the new education standards, which emphasize reasoning and problem solving instead of memorization of facts formulas, could be the most important change in Arizona classrooms in decades.
But a number of educators wanted to know how Brewer and the Arizona Department of Education intend for schools to pay for new classroom materials and teacher time to develop new curricula.
"The question is 'Do we have the resources in place currently to succeed with this?' " asked Mike Hughes, a member of the Mesa Public Schools governing board and president of the Arizona School Board Association.
Camille Casteel, superintendent of the Chandler Unified School District, estimated it would cost her district at least $1 million to train teachers to use the new standards in their classrooms. Part of the expense, she explained, is the cost of substitute teachers that need to be hired on days when classroom teachers attend trainings.
"It's a good concept, but it would be nice to have some support behind it," she said. "We are not talking about just training 15 teachers. In the East Valley, there are probably 15,000 teachers."
Arizona is one of 46 states to have adopted the new standards, which beef up math and English language requirements for students in kindergarten through Grade 12.
The Arizona State Board of Education adopted the standards in 2010. School districts have until the spring of 2015 to prepare students for a challenging new assessment, called the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers -- or PARCC, that will replace Arizona's AIMS test.
The new standards require math students, for instance, to do more than just memorize formulas and facts for multiple-choice tests. They will need to be able to write out the reasons for the strategies they use to solve problems.
And language students won't simply learn grammar rules and vocabulary words. They will need to demonstrate that they can use language to write persuasive essays.
"I think this could be one of the biggest improvements to education that this country has ever seen," said Barrett, who as chairman of Brewer's Arizona Ready education council has been meeting with educators around the state to talk about the new standards.
Barrett noted that the standards should help students in Arizona better compete internationally.
"As Americans, we have gotten complacent in that we just compare our academic performance to the adjacent state or the adjacent school district," he said.
"But it's the kids in Europe, the kids in Asia and the kids in Latin America that they are going to have to compete with."
Barrett told the audience that there were no easy answers to the funding questions. Arizona has not allocated funds to individual school districts for teacher training in the Common Core.
Instead, the Arizona Department of Education is providing webinars, instructional videos and other tools for teachers who are converting their classroom curricula to the Common Core, said department spokeswoman Molly Edwards. The department also has trained 300 teachers to train others in their regions, she said.
So far, 14,000 teachers have made use of the tools, she said.

Is there any reason the Edmonton Oilers can't address the defense with their second pick?
Jonathan Willis
May 17 2012 12:08PM
In recent years, the Oilers have a pattern of addressing defense relatively early in the draft. With Nail Yakupov far-and-away the consensus choice for first overall, is that something they should look at doing again, perhaps with their second round pick?
While there have been some critical words about the 2012 Draft, one thing it isn't short of is defensemen. Red Line Report, for instance, lists eight of the14 best prospects as defensemen in its latest bulletin. Over at NHLNumbers, Derek Zona has a consensus draft list updated for May, and finds six of the top 11 prospects on the blue line.
An interesting thing happens on Derek's list around 30th overall, though. Of the five players ranked between 28th and 32nd, four of them are defensemen. Assuming that the Oilers a) take Yakupov first overall and b) want to address the blue line early in the draft, who might they be interested in? Here are some possibilities:
Damon Severson, Kelowna Rockets (WHL)
- Stats: 56GP – 7G – 30A – 37PTS, +6, 80 PIM
- Vitals: Born August 7, 1994; 6'2", 198lbs.
- Consensus rank: 28th overall.
Over at Copper & Blue, Derek Zona has already profiled Severson, interviewing Dan Lizee of The Scouting Report. It's an interesting interview, and Severson comes across as a good prospect, but with a skillset similar to Oscar Klefbom or David Musil. Lizee compares him to Eric Brewer with a chance at more offense; he's a horse at the WHL level, playing in all situations, but it's fair to ask how much he'll add to the attack at the NHL level. Red Line Report has him ranked at 27th overall, and in October described him as making "quick, intelligent decisions" and playing with "flawless positioning."
Michael Matheson, Dubuque Fighting Saints (USHL)
- Stats: 53GP – 11G – 16A – 27PTS, 84 PIM
- Vitals: Born February 27, 1994; 6'0", 170lbs.
- Consensus rank: 29th overall.
Matheson, a Quebec native, would be playing in the QMJHL except that he has opted to go the college route. The Pipeline Show has had him as a guest blogger at times this year, and describes him as "a solid skater with strong passing skills and a calm, mature demeanor on the ice." Size is a question mark, and I mean that literally – he's variously listed between 6' and 6'2", and between 165lbs and 180lbs.
Ludvig Bystrom, Modo (SEL)
- Stats: 20GP – 0G – 1A – 1PTS, 8 PIM
- Vitals: Born July 20, 1994; 6'0", 187lbs.
- Consensus rank: 30th overall.
Bystrom's puck skills, skating and hockey sense are what raise him on this list. His physical play is what knocks him down. Draft expert Corey Pronman profiled Bystrom for Hockey Prospectus and noted that the physical questions aren't so much due to a lack of effort as they are to size – Bystrom just doesn't have the frame and the strength needed to be above average in those areas. My favourite line of Pronman's review was this one: "He has a very low panic threshold and really knows how to evade checkers, find his outlets through tight steams, and if he has a short window to make a play, he normally is able to execute." Of note: Bystrom ran up flashy totals in Swedish junior hockey, where he got more minutes – he was a hair under the point-per-game mark, and had over 100 PIM.
Jordan Schmaltz, Green Bay Gamblers (USHL)
- Stats: 54GP – 10G – 31A – 41PTS, +19, 29 PIM
- Vitals: Born October 8, 1993; 6'2", 190lbs.
- Consensus rank: 32nd overall.
Schmaltz has dropped a bit on most lists since the start of the year, and has been tagged as something of a project. That's not a crippling label – Schmaltz has his heart set on college hockey, so he has a few years to round out his game. The Scouting Report gives him credit for improving defensively, but questions whether he'll be able to combine a reliable defensive game with offensive production. Meanwhile, Corey Pronman writes that he's a "high-end puck mover, averagish at best everywhere else."
Dalton Thrower, Saskatoon Blades (WHL)
- Stats: 68GP – 18G – 36A – 54PTS, -4, 103 PIM
- Vitals: Born December 20, 1993; 6'0", 195lbs.
- Consensus rank: 35th overall.
Despite Thrower's very respectable offensive totals and small frame, there's no question about what makes him really attractive as a prospect. Red Line's capsule on him back in October used the phrases "hard-nosed," "prototypical WHL blue-liner," "plays with an edge," "physical," and "in-your-face" before concluding "Really strong on his skates and makes the big open ice hit. Also a willing combatant who will drop the mitts and can throw 'em pretty well." The questions on Thrower generally relate to hockey sense and vision – Red Line describes the latter as "good enough" and The Scouting Report says that he "needs to continue to show that he can make quick decisions and show improved decision making."
Any of these players could be Oilers on draft day, and the odds that one of them gets picked improve if Edmonton does the expected thing and chooses Yakupov with the first overall selection. There's something to like or dislike about all of them, but in each case these are picks made for the long-term – Bystrom needs time, the college players need time, and Severson and Thrower are both primarily defensive players who likely need time too. If the Oilers go this route, these are players that aren't going to solve defensive problems immediately.

Take Thrower, sign Schultz, Yakupov 1st, Hemsky plays the wrong side like he did during some games last season near the end. Presto Chango, Bob's your Uncle, and the Oilers have sick depth at Forward and the young D-men start making their pro debuts in the Fall of 2012.
Schultz is an Oiler in October, Marincin is a Baron, Klefbom eats Lingonberry all winter, and Gernat wins another WHL title.
May 17 2012, 12:54PM
I don't know if BPA gets murky, you just knock names off your list and when it's your turn you take the guy that is top of your list.
I also don't know that drafting a defenseman really makes any difference this year. We have a lot of d prospects, we need guys that are ready to step in this year or next.
I say try and grab a goalie with the next pick , but maybe that's just me? Subban or the Russian goalie.
All the players described are not inspiring,.......or what we need. It seems that the only option is trading to get another first round pick and then select a defenseman that best suits our long term need.
The only problem with that is it requires a imaginative GM with a flair for making deals.......and Mr. Dithers has never shown this skill set.
Expect another Foster dressed up as a Keith Duncan and Sold to the fan base as what this teams needs.
May 17 2012, 02:44PM
BPA gets pretty murky by the end of the first round.
How about this for an article suggestion:
grab some comprehensive list of lists of last-call pre-draft scouting reports and see how often the players pegged as BPA through the rounds turned out?
Did that make sense?
Thrower is a sure fire second round keeper... can score and has a nasty streak... plays like he gives a damn every shift and is not afraid to take chances... needs to be careful about giving up odd man rushes which at the NHL level could burn him badly... would be my choice of the four profiled if he's still available at #32.
Kelowna seems to pump out defensemen like LSU does with defensive backs. I would have a hard time finding fault in the Oilers taking Severson at 32 (or 31 if New Jersey decides to give up this year's first).
Though, with Musil, Marincin, Klefbom, Gernat, and Davidson in the system, I don't relly think we have to spend a high pick on a defenseman unless that's who's at the top of their list when the Oilers go on the clock.
I think the better question would be what we could get as an NHL player for that 2nd round pick. Too speculative to write an article on but they have a lot of prospects. If they can get a good 3/4 guy for a 2nd that would be idea.

Canucks 2013 NHL Draft Preview: "Lottery picks" and Mike Gillis' draft strategy
Cam Charron
June 26 2013 04:44PM
The Canucks selected 20-year-old Alexandre Mallet in the 2nd round last season (via Youtube)
Doubt I'll get away with saying it on this blog, but one of the reasons I wanted the Bruins to win the Stanley Cup is because I respect how their organization was built. The core players on the team, Patrice Bergeron, Zdeno Chara, Tuukka Rask and David Krejci, weren't acquired because the team was bad for several years in a row and earned a bunch of lottery picks.
Chicago has Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane. Los Angeles had Drew Doughty. The Pittsburgh Penguins had Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin and Jordan Staal (who they turned into other stuff). One of the issues afflicting the NHL right now is that it's really tough to win without top talent, and it's tough to acquire top talent without being terrible for a few years in a row without getting very lucky at the draft table.
(Yes, Boston has Tyler Seguin, but he wasn't drafted with the Bruins' pick, nor was he a real core guy throughout the playoffs, scoring a single goal).
I have to credit Mike Gillis for looking for a way around this core "rewaring failure issue." While his team was picking low in the draft each season, he had the idea of drafting older players that better fit into the team's minor league system. Now on the organization's third AHL team in four seasons, Gillis' vision of a powerful AHL team that quickly fit NCAA grads hasn't exactly come to fruition. Rather than look for younger, high-risk, high-reward players, Gillis wanted immediacy.
He expressed his thoughts to me last year in Pittsburgh:
"If you look at baseball, historically high schoolers never pan out. College kids almost always do," said Gillis. "I apply a philosophy from the fourth round onward, that we're going to select players who are going to go to big programs in the US and develop their skills at a pace that is much more easy to watch."
While Gillis said he prefers for his philosophy to be enacted from the fourth round onward, it was more prevalent earlier due to the weak 2012 class. Alexandre Mallet was selected in the 2nd round with the 57th overall pick. "He's more mature," said Gillis, who admitted that his age worked for him. He'll be eligible to play with the Chicago Wolves next season, unlike other 18-year old Canadian Hockey League players, allowing the team to get a good look at him.
"It gives you more opportunity and more development time. We have a team right now that we're not going to make a whole lot of changes to over the next couple of years."
The Canucks' minor league system isn't exactly gangbusters at this point, nor is there a prospect pipeline ready to supply Gillis and his new coach John Tortorella the type of young talent Torts was used to in New York. Headed into his 23-year-old season, the Canucks' top prospect Zack Kassian has just 11 goals to his name, dangerously close to his NHL peak.
But Kassian wasn't drafted by the club. The Canucks haven't had a regular player from their own draft class since before Gillis' time—Mason Raymond is a regular player for the club and he was taken in the 2nd round of 2005. Two regular NHLers have come from the Canucks' draft ranks: Cody Hodgson and Michael Grabner, but Hodgson was shipped out after the team couldn't find a spot for him in the lineup and Grabner was traded in the Keith Ballard deal.
Is there potential? Well, Jordan Schroeder played 31 games for the Canucks this past season. Frankie Corrado came to play in the playoffs and burned a slide year on his entry-level contract. Nicklas Jensen left the OHL to join AIK of the Swedish Elite League and scored 17 goals in 50 games to lead his team.
The problem with Gillis' strategy is that the most eligible-looking guys (including last year's first rounder Brendan Gaunce, who led the Belleville Bulls in goal scoring with 33 in 60 games and was also named the top defensive forward in the OHL's Eastern Conference) are not the older players like Henrik Tommernes, Alexander Grenier and Alex Friesen, who were all drafted later than their first year of eligibility, but simply young, ranked CHLers.
The 2013 draft crop is not only regarded as top-heavy, but also very deep. Most teams should come away with two quality players if they have a couple of picks in the Top 40. Canada had a very good U-18 crop, with a team that not only won the Ivan Hlinka last summer but also the IIHF U-18 this spring (although much of that was thanks to Rimouski Oceanic goaltender Philippe Desrosiers).
I think, that while the thinking behind Gillis' drafting was pretty secure, in the end it didn't work out as it hoped. At least it hasn't at the time of our writing. Obviously, the Atlanta Thrashers relocation to Winnipeg killed the 10-year relationship between the Canucks and an AHL affiliate. That was a difficult relationship to replace, and presented challenges in turning Gillis' late-round picks into NHL players...
This is a two-year old study, but I still think it's relevant. Friend of the blog Rob Pettapiece wrote a fantastic bit of research concluding that younger players were more likely to perform at a higher rate than expected than older players. Drance summarized it last June. You don't need to be named Malcolm Gladwell to recognize that older players have a competitive advantage at the junior level, or a mathematician to come to the conclusion that younger players age.
One observation I'd make is that NHL teams tend to leave a lot of raw talent on the table in favour of immediacy. At the draft, I'd prefer to see more teams look for home run swings rather than base hits up the middle. Being how difficult it is to turn players into superstars you want as many chips on the roulette table as possible.
While a player like Jean-Sebastien Dea or J.C. Lipon may be enticing due to their scoring rates as 19-year-olds, I think that Gillis should concentrate on drafting eligible players born in 1995. The clock is ticking on Henrik and Daniel Sedin, Ryan Kesler and Alex Burrows and if the Canucks intend to win with this group they need an injection of talent that won't cost an arm and a leg.
what about the Sedins? they were lottery picks.
The Sedins were lottery picks due to extreme management incompetence, not due to purposeful Kevin Lowe style quitting.
I agree and tend to cheer against the teams that were pretty bad for years, and built up their core with top-5 picks. That being said, I hate Boston more than Chicago right now, so I was "cheering" (booing less) for Chicago.
It especially gets to me when I perenially see top-teir talent being drafted by clubs like Columbus and Florida. Teams that never get good, are horribly managed, and like to sit around the cap floor.
The Canucks have not drafted well. There are some horrid, horrid years in there and a couple of OK ones. I guess we have to wait and see in regards to the Gillis draft years but nothing wonderful yet.
I think Gillis really should've cleaned house in the scouting or upgraded. We've been doing better but the farm has very little to offer. Something needs to be done.
Well, I think you're being a little unfair, Cam. When Gillis said he was looking at drafting older players, he was definitely talking about the later rounds (granted, with the exception of Mallet, in a weak draft). And while the most eligible prospect guys are not those older players, they were, in fact, taken in the 1st round, rather than later rounds. I think it may be a little too early to judge his strategy of drafting college-bound kids in later rounds. That crop is just starting to enter into the AHL. We will have to wait and see how guys like Price, Cannata and Tommernes pan out.
And, in fact, Gillis & Co have gone for the high risk/high reward young guys in later rounds. Remember Prab Rai? Or how about Steven Anthony? They have definitely not worked out! The reality is that drafting in the later rounds is way beyond a crap shoot! So, it takes some creativity and daring to try out different strategies that might give you an edge.
""If you look at baseball, historically high schoolers never pan out. College kids almost always do," said Gillis."
Another piece of evidence that Gillis read Moneyball without actually understanding its practical use.
His efforts to give the Canucks a competetive advantage have had the opposite effect.
There is a reason older players often get passed up at the draft table until it is the Canucks turn to draft. And it's not because Gillis has ever been ahead of the curve.
It isn't even remotely surprising that the Canucks have a farm system full of low-medium ceiling prospects. Gillis' logic at the draft table has never been sound and it shows.
Henrik, Daniel, Kesler, Lou & Schneider are Gillis' Halladay, Wells, Rios, Delgado and Green.
Gillis has filled around the edges until he has sucked every inch of blood from the core he inherited.
By the time he gets fired the team will need to rebuild for the first time in over 15 years.
Other than blind stupidity the Canucks should come away with a quality pick and maybe would have had 2 had not the second round draft pick being traded away. I'd sure like to see Morin come our way, I've been on about this kid since he was in the 2nd round area but I'm thinking he'll be gone when our pick comes around
"By the time he gets fired the team will need to rebuild for the first time in over 15 years."
But I still have hope something great will happen somehow

Many college baseball players chosen at the top of the MLB draft have been drafted before - at least once, sometimes twice. It's the player's decision to pass up the opportunity to sign a pro contract and go to, or stay in, college. Lack of MLB interest is not the reason good college players are available to be drafted.
Gillis should be asking himself why over-age players like Alexandre Mallet are still available.
Well said.
High upside high schoolers are often taken in the later rounds of the MLB draft and refuse to sign. 2-3 years later they are drafted in a higher spot with a bigger signing bonus.
The goal of the NHL draft after the first 5-15 picks is to find players that can take that step forward AFTER being drafted. Recent examples include Alex Edler & Cory Schneider.
Nothing in Gillis' 5 years has shown the Canucks will draft that kind of player without the benefit of ultra high draft picks.

Leaving Behind the Red Lip
A long time crimson devotee discovers the allure of nude.
Growing up in Texas, red lipstick was a right of passage. My very first one perfectly matched the cranberry silk two-piece that I had made by hand for my freshman year homecoming dance. After that, I put on a true cherry shade (and stark blue shadow!) along with my drill team uniform every Friday night during football season for my halftime performance—and then retouched the duo to celebrate post-game.
These youthful memories might have made me turn up my nose at the bright statement lip in my twenties, but in fact my love affair only grew stronger. As a fashion assistant at Glamour, a NARS lip pencil in Dragon Girl became a makeup bag staple to yield off late Thursday nights out or add sophistication to my post-college mash-up of a wardrobe. As I cut my fashion editor teeth, a red lip became more than just an instant face brightner, it became an accessory. And once the street style set secured its' place as a photo-friendly hue (and I was given a sample of M.A.C lipstick in Ruby Woo), a red lip at the office or after hours was all but expected. I loved that it gave my look—as long as none of the color escaped to my teeth—instant confidence.
Given my blue eyes and blonde hair, I have always had to tread carefully in the red lip arena for fear of pageantry connatations or worse—man repelling. In turn, my rule of thumb has been to keep the rest of my look subdued—my eye makeup simple and clean and my hair polished and sleek.
However, once I reached my thirties, I could not escape the allure of a defined eye and I started to dabble with eyeliner. Not the exagerated cateye like at the Lanvin show or the sexy smoky eye at Michael Kors, but a more subtle smudge of black, brown or navy to give my eyes a sultry, but day appropriate pop of defintion. Since wearing the liner, the red lip was no longer my perfect match. A creature of habit, I have struggled with what to wear on my lips to finish my new look. And, up until this weekend, classic cherry-flavored Chapstick had been the winner.
After brunch on Saturday, I stopped by the YSL cosmetics counter at Bergdorf Goodman to browse. I asked the sales woman (which I rarely do) what was her favorite nude lipstick. She recommended YSL Rouge Volupté 2, a slightly glossy beige shade with just enough payoff to merit application. I implusively bought it. Prior to now, my fear with wearing a nude lip had been that it would wash out my complexion or make me look older in the way that the "no-makeup" look can if not done correctly.
But, as I now know firsthand, that is not the case if you have the right shade. After applying some inky blue eyeliner and swipe of Maybelline Great Lash black mascara this morning, I reached for my Chapstick out of habit, too. Until my new gold encased lipstick caught my eye. I lightly prepped my lips with M.A.C lipliner in Spice then a swipe of my new nude and blended the two together with my finger. The result: the creamy texture and barely-there hint of color complimented my navy eye makeup. And my face felt complete.
So, it turns out that a nude lip and I might just be a match. I'm not saying I am putting away my beloved crimson Ruby Woo forever. But I do have a new crush, and hey, you never know, it could be the one.

CHP boosts presence on Santiago Canyon Road for weekend
SANTIAGO CANYON – Just minutes from busy Orange County highways, the two lanes of Santiago Canyon Road have a country feel as they wind through the hillsides.
An arc of black skid marks leading into a smashed tree mar the pastoral scene – remnants of a recent crash that injured the driver. Cars might not crash on the canyon road with the frequency they do on the highways, said officer Todd Kovaletz of the California Highway Patrol, but when they do, drivers and passengers are less likely to walk away unscathed.
CHP officers are focusing on speeding and aggressive driving on Santiago Canyon Road through Sunday with extra patrols funded by a federal grant. The additional presence aims to send a message to drivers to slow down, Kovaletz said. Over about six hours on Thursday, officers issued 24 citations.
"If we can mitigate maybe one fatal collision or even one injury collision by the enforcement this weekend, as far as I'm concerned it's a success," he said.
In the last two years, 50 crashes on the road have resulted in death or injury, and seven people have died.
During commuting hours, the road draws drivers seeking to avoid gridlock on the 5, 55 and 241 freeways. On weekends, the scenic route is popular with motorcyclists.
Kovaletz said the likelihood of accidents increases when drivers and motorcyclists attempt highway speeds on a two-lane road. Blind curves, narrow shoulders, trees and bicyclists require quick reactions from drivers. If someone loses control, there are no center dividers or guard rails to protect vehicles from oncoming traffic and head-on collisions.
"It's just the danger of the road itself," he said.
During a Thursday patrol, Kovaletz had just turned onto Santiago Canyon Road from Jamboree Road when he came across a speeding driver. Radar confirmed that the black Dodge truck was going 70 mph, and after stopping and ticketing the driver, Kovaletz returned to patrol the canyon.
The majority of drivers stay near the speed limit, Kovaletz said. He didn't have to travel far, however, before coming across another driver going 70, this time in a black Ford Explorer. Drivers might complain about receiving a ticket for going 15 miles above the 55 mph speed limit, but on this road, a little bit of extra speed can make a difference, he said.
"When you look at all the factors, 55 is even a little fast," Kovaletz said.
After another pass through the northern half of the canyon, a white Lexus flew by at 74 mph. Kovaletz spun the squad car around and followed the driver. He had put on the brakes going past the CHP officer, and then sped up again.
"That just tells me this is someone who will speed regardless," Kovaletz said.
Once stopped, the 19-year-old driver said he was interested in becoming an officer. He still got a ticket, but Kovaletz also gave him information on the CHP Explorer program.
After ticketing another driver going 70, this time a resident of the area, Kovaletz found a straighter stretch of road to safely park and read cars with a laser speed gun. The goal was not to set up a speed trap, he said, but rather to be a visible cue for drivers to reduce their speed. CHP does not receive money from citations, he said, so motivation for special enforcement is strictly about public safety.
"This is not a revenue machine," he said. "This is a get-people-to-slow-down machine."
