Tino Best took six wickets to allow West Indies to wrap up a 10-wicket victory over Bangladesh with the minimum of fuss, chasing down the 27 runs they needed for a whitewash of the two-Test series in under five overs.

Bangladesh, who resumed on 226 for six this morning in Khulna, did at least score enough to make the tourists bat again thanks to 94 from Nasir Hossain, but Best (six for 40) stopped them doing too much damage, bowling them out for 287.
Hossain, 64 overnight, led the Bangladesh rearguard after Mahmudullah was caught behind off Veerasammy Permaul in the first over of the day.
Hossain pulled the same bowler for six, prompting Darren Sammy to replace him with Best, who promptly bowled Sohag Gazi with his first ball of the day.
He delivered the same treatment to Hossain to stop him six runs short of a ton, then ended the innings by having Rubel Hossain caught at mid-on.
That left West Indies chasing 27 for victory, and Chris Gayle was typically aggressive in his pursuit, scoring 20 in the 16 balls he faced, before Kieran Powell hit back-to-back boundaries to bring the scores level and then see his side home.

Posted on 11/04/2013 4:25:00 PM PST by Hotlanta Mike
A doctor shortage is threatening to make the roll-out of the Affordable Care Act even more difficult and it could create lines for care and services.
New Yorkers are notorious for wanting things immediately, and that includes medical care.
But even doctors who support Obamacare say there could be delays due to more patients and fewer doctors, CBS 2s Dick Brennan reported Monday.
(Excerpt) Read more at newyork.cbslocal.com ...
Well, apparently there is a money tree.
Perhaps we can just grow a doctor tree.
See how easy that was?/dem think
And when everyone on this board predicted exactly this result the libs said we were crazy. Stinks to be right about this.
CBS just had a Captain Obvious moment.
Obama will import doctors who studied at the Medical School of the Congo, and when you visit him he will shake rattles at you and give you some chicken bones in a little bag.
in capitalism,as in the millions of products for sale in malls , super markets or on the Internet , there is always an abundance and consumers have freedom of choice of what brands to buy as in the Dollar Tree where every item is a 1 dollar $
plus everyone is also a poor slave of the government in socialism , just another con of socialism. democrats want that

Given that Kudzu is a problem, Bammy is worse wrt coverage and speed of propagation.
(Does Roundup work?)
Who needs doctors when we'll have death panels? Just load the suckers down with pain pills and send them home. An hour's training and anybody can do it. They'll contract it out to Acorn.
Almost, almost.
They stated "Just by sheer numbers, doctor retirements will increase."
Yeah, just by sheer numbers. Obamacare will in absolutely no way cause doctors to retire early and many talented college students avoid medical school like the plague. It's merely demographics.
I'll order them to work with an EO."
Barrack 0bamalini
CBS just had a Random Act Of Journalism. They can't CYA for Obama forever.
Well, they will just have to force the doctors to work, won't they.
Guess they'll pass a law to deal with those greedy doctors.
A dotor friend of mine says that doctors no longer drive Cadillacs—they drive Tauruses. If it's true that the financial rewards are no longer all that great, what will motivate a kid to spend ten of the best years of his life studying to be a doctor?
My grand daughter's pediatrician just stopped accepting insurance. How many more doctors will do the same?
Socialism (aka Marxism)...
...Instant shortages and horrible quality of goods and services, every time it governs/regulates people.
Absolutely, every time.
Not a good omen.
Now if we can only get them to perform backroom heart transplants, knee surgeries, etc.
I think many, if not most on FR, saw this coming.
Had a conversation with my veterinarian a few weeks ago. He said that Congress passed a law (when, name?) which mandated that 50% of all medical school slots for new students had to be reserved for females. Yet many, if not most, of these women, took time off to raise their families, and few women doctors ever establish a business practice - both which contribute heavily to the physician shortage. He went on to say that 1 out of 4 physicians in the U.S. today went to medical school outside of the U.S., i.e., they immigrated to the U.S. He went on to say that the veterinary schools were having a problem getting enough male students these days.
Tell them to get that med degree and head offshore. They will make serious money and live on a nice island. Med tourism is going to have a big future with USA customers.
Gee, do they think so?
Who is running this?
What kid in his right mind would take on a post graduate debt of $50 to &100 G to work for Obama to be told by government clerks how to practice medicine, for whom, and for a lot less that $150G with interest, per year?
The media is running the country, but they haven't brought this up until now.
I'll bet they truly believe Ted Cruz is a radical for wanting the constitution back in charge instead of the usurpers.
Yes, there's going to be a shortage of medical workers.
WE are Americans, not socialists.
Socialism will not work here, among people and a constitution founded on freedom. It's in our blood. It is in doctors' blood. they are not going to go for this.
Just duh.
Affirmative Action and gov grants to cover the cost.
Throw another $trillion$ on the barbie, mate.
Throw another sucker on a gurney and wheel'm to the soylent chamber...
oh, that's 50 to 100 G PER YEAR, of course. And 50 is instate tuition in Texas, so it's lowball.
It's PEOPLE!
who needs death panels when you can just give them an appointment so far out you know they will be dead before hand?
LOL owwwww, that's so true it hurts.
This is America, we used to have a free market where owners of businesses decided on the price of their products and services. I don't think students will make the choice to be doctors if they are forced to have less freedom than the local Air conditioner man or mechanic.
7.5% social security and medicare tax
federal income tax
obamcare taxes
state income taxes
property taxes
hidden taxes on business they have to pay and pass on to us (a 23% tax for all the gov regulations and taxes businesses have to pay )
This is not enough say the government funded scientists and university professors who do fake global warming research to further enslave us. also welfare creeps say they need a new 60 inch tv and $300 sneakers. in obamacare/socialism there will be shortages of everything
socialism = shortages, rationing, very low quality , poverty and we become slaves of the government. this is the dream of all democrats
Just biological units...
My kids doctor drive a Hyundai. Nothing wrong with those cars at all. But it's not even a top of the line.
BTW he's counting the days to retirement.
Did you know that the Obamacare "medical device" tax applies to fishing tackle and ammunition?
"Holiday Special! This week only, get a boob job and facelift, and we'll throw in a FREE kidney transplant!"
First step is mental health evaluations for anyone suspected of voting this jackass.
I know your question was not directed to me but.. I can't let it go..
are you serious?
snoops said it happened. but it was not suppose to.
dem think is mind crap.
I keep hearing libs/communists say that single payer is better. But, is that not the government saying no. Assuming, they want comparable care, does that not mean they want to take over 1/6th of the economy, $2.5 trillion. Given the government takes in now $2.6 trillion, does that not say they must increase taxes by $2.5 trillion just to cover what is now covered. But, they want to cover everyone not insured which will require another $1 trillion. Typically, the Bolshies get away with this by promising only the rich will pay for it, but, this will take everyone with a job. Where am I going with this?
Costs will be contained by paying providers less, reducing liability (a painful blow to the Bolshie tort dependent crowd) which will increase the number of substandard providers. If your doctor understands English you will be blessed.
Fixed it.
Between the diversity medical school grants (and several medical schools cutting a medical degree to 3 yrs) and increased work visas from 3rd world countries, they will come up with new Docs.
It happens every day.
Buy something from Cabella's - They list the tax separately, others may not, but it is in the law.
Snopes is never right.
There was a story posted here within the last month or so about the NHS in England having a problem in that a lot of their female doctors only want to work part-time, so effectively they have to push two students through med school in order to have one full-time-equivalent doctor.
In veterinary medicine, the majority of students have been female for several decades, and few of them want to go through the trouble of establishing a clinic; most of them just want to work part-time for an established clinic, run (normally) by a guy.
they will let nurses do things onlydocs now do.
will result in more iatrogenic deaths.
more cost savings for obama.
the website
the prices once learned on the website
hospitals not accepting ObieCare
Doctors retiring because of Obiecare
his credibiltiy
his party begging for a way the-hell-out-of-this debacle
never mentioned but HUGE; web security
being run out of office
Other than that, all's good.
Did you know that the Obamacare medical device tax applies to fishing tackle and ammunition?
I am all for a tax on rap or hip hop music. Extra $50 per album sounds about right
Anyone going into medicine needs their head examined. All docs should rise up to save their profession before they become slaves to socialism. To think the idiots in the American Medical Assoc and the American Psychological Assn actively pushed for and participated in creating this obamanation.
Rooster bones...and that's Santeria, not Congolese medicine.
In the Congo, they'll offer you long pork stew.

Black Box: Special Teams
Robert Vollman
September 26 2011 05:01PM
Every Monday we'll be producing a statistical summary of the Flames, starting with an OZQoC chart to describe each player's role and put their stats into context, followed by their even-strength data, and finally the piece being described today - their performance on the special teams.
The purpose of the weekly Black Box is to provide a running statistical snapshots of the Flames as the season progresses, in the clearest and least confusing way possible for everyone. The tables will be accompanied by some interpretive analysis, but in most cases you can't read too much into the data without spinning off into a separate and more detailed examination. Nowhere is that more true than with special teams data, owing to its unusual and infrequent nature. In fact, we'll limit ourselves to 5-on-4 play only, to avoid skewing the numbers with even more unusual and infrequent situations.
Power Play
We'll focus on the three most important power play statistics: who is playing, how much they're scoring, and how well the team is doing when they're on the ice.
There are many reasons why a player may get more power play ice-time than he deserves. Perhaps better players have injuries, are being saved for even-strength or penalty killing duty, or simply have their skills overrated by the coaching staff. That being said, the better players generally get more playing time.
Despite the importance of playing time, in the spirit of even-strength data we'll rank players based on how well the team does when they're on the ice. To determine the team's performance, we'll remain consistent with the even-strength tables and use Corsi-based data – all attempted shots (goals, saves, missed nets and blocked shots).
It's possible a player's CE/60 (Corsi Events per 60 minutes) is being skewed by playing with particularly good or bad linemates, or against particularly good or bad penalty-killing opponents, and there's a long-standing debate about whether players consistently generate on-ice shots of different qualities, but over-all this has proven the most reliable way of determining whether a unit is effective at generating offense with the man advantage.
While it may be the most interesting part of the table, a player's scoring level is actually the least important part, because it is so highly dependent on luck and bounces over the small sample sizes we'll be studying. Generally PTS/60 will go hand-in-hand with CE/60, but a player has far greater control in his ability to generate shots than the ability for them to actually go in.
We won't split up the forwards and the defensemen, since the roles sometimes get blurry when playing with the man advantage, with key forwards occasionally working the point, and large defensemen occasionally playing in the Holmstrom position – directly in front of the opposing goalie. Hopefully not facing the goalie, though (that would be the Avery position).
Player TOI/GP PTS/60 CE/60 Brendan Morrison 2.3 4.7 95.3 Tim Jackman 0.8 2.9 94.7 Olli Jokinen 3.0 5.2 93.4 Clay Wilson 2.7 1.5 92.6 Chris Butler 1.2 1.0 90.9 Rene Bourque 2.9 3.7 86.4 Mark Giordano 3.4 4.1 85.6 Jarome Iginla 3.8 4.6 84.9 Jay Bouwmeester 2.7 2.1 84.6 Niklas Hagman 1.7 4.0 84.6 David Moss 1.5 4.2 83.9 Anton Babchuk 2.5 4.2 83.8 Alex Tanguay 3.5 3.3 83.8 Matt Stajan 1.1 0.8 78.1 Curtis Glencross 1.2 3.3 76.3 Lee Stempniak 1.8 2.4 74.1 Mikael Backlund 0.6 5.4 65.9
Those at the top of the list are those who are most effective at generating offense with the man advantage, like Brendan Morrison and the much-maligned Olli Jokinen, whereas those at the bottom are the ones that normally cause the crowd to yell SHOOOOOT.
Always keep an eye on playing time so you can see how the numbers might be getting skewed by a few lucky bounces over a small sample, and when you notice a big difference between a player's scoring and the team's Corsi rate, you can generally expect their fortune to change.
Penalty Killing
While it's nice to have pressure on an opponent's power play squad, it's not as important to keep track of scoring when studying short-handed data. In the on-going effort to promote clarity and reduce confusion by presenting as little data as possible to paint the picture, we'll include just the time on the ice and how well the team does at preventing shots with each player on the ice.
This time we'll rank it by playing time, because those getting more playing time are typically also the ones getting the toughest assignments, which generally inflates the number of attempted shots the opponents are generating.
There can be a big gap between each team's top power play lines and the secondary units, making it somewhat unfair to compare the likes of Jay Bouwmeester and Scott Hannan to Mark Giordano and Cory Sarich (though you do have to admire how great their numbers are).
Bear in mind that the players at the bottom are usually ones that come in at the end of a penalty when all the real penalty killers are exhausted.
Player TOI/GP CE/60 Jay Bouwmeester 3.2 101.1 Scott Hannan 2.6 90.4 Curtis Glencross 2.3 85.0 Mark Giordano 2.1 71.6 Brendan Morrison 1.9 86.7 Cory Sarich 1.8 66.0 Tom Kostopoulos 1.7 100.3 David Moss 1.6 87.4 Alex Tanguay 1.2 110.9 Brendan Mikkelson 1.2 103.8 Rene Bourque 1.1 80.4 Chris Butler 1.0 111.3 Mikael Backlund 0.9 77.5 Matt Stajan 0.7 92.1 Brett Carson 0.6 93.6 Steve Staios 0.6 80.2 Stefan Meyer 0.5 93.0 Anton Babchuk 0.5 76.8
When you're watching a game, remember that the best penalty killers can keep the opponents to three attempted shots or less – so count along.
Nothing is written in stone, either now or as the season progresses. If you have suggestions on how to improve the clarity of these efforts, either by using different statistics or presenting them in a different format, please be generous with them. On the other hand, if you have suggestions on my personal grooming, feel free to be a little more stingy with them.
Next week we'll take a quick look at how the goaltenders will be covered, and then we'll get started!
September 26 2011, 07:15PM
Giordano's short-handed rates are really good. Butler's are flat out awful (although maybe the whole Sabres team was bad at giving up shots). Just looking here I'd suggest keeping Butler off the PK as much as possible though. Ditto Tanguay.
September 27 2011, 06:58AM
Robert, doesn't TOI track the trust level a coach has in his players on the PK, more than his value on the PK? While Bouwmeester is likely still our best PK player, I think you should put more emphasis on his ability to prevent CE in the first place. My thinking is that the best PK, is the one with no shots on net.
Clay Wilson's numbers on the PP are intriguing, he received some good minutes on the PP and managed a decent level of CE/60. Does he have to clear waivers for the Flames to keep him?
September 27 2011, 08:11AM
Yeah, Wilson has to clear waivers.

AFC Championship game down from past two prime-time championship broadcasts.
The AFC Championship game on CBS dominated Sunday's primetime ratings, averaging 47.7 million viewers, according to preliminary Nielsen numbers.
Fox's NFC Championship game, which preceded it, averaged 42 million viewers. The two games are the two most-watched programs since last year's Super Bowl.
Despite the AFC game's strong showing Sunday, it trails the last two prime-time conference championship in viewers. An NFC overtime nail-biter in 2012 and the 2011 AFC title contest averaged 57.6 million and 54.9 million viewers, respectively.
A special broadcast of Hawaii Five-0 after the CBS game drew 12.9 million viewers, up from the 9.6 million who tuned into Monday's episode in the show's regular time slot.
ABC was the only broadcast network to run new episodes against football. Once Upon a Time averaged 7.7 million viewers and Revenge averaged 5.7 million viewers, dropping 6% and 8%, respectively, from their last original broadcasts a week earlier.

INDIANAPOLIS -- The National Transportation Safety Board has released a preliminary report on the investigation of the Greensburg, Ind., crash that killed two lifelong friends and their wives earlier this month.
According to the report released Wednesday, air traffic controllers in Indianapolis communicated with the pilot, Donald Horan, about 15 minutes before he crashed and cleared him for approach to Greensburg Municipal Airport. The single-engine Piper Malibu crashed around 6:20 p.m. Dec. 2, killing Horan, a 46-year-old trained pilot, his wife, Barbara, 44; and Stephen Butz, 45, and his wife, Denise, 42, who were traveling with the Horans.
Investigators said the plane plowed through about 300 feet of farmland before it stopped near the edge of a ravine. Searchers found the plane shortly after 11 p.m. a mile and a half south of the Greensburg airport.
The four were flying back from Florida that evening. Investigators said another aircraft carrying Horan's brother, Tom Horan, and his wife, Suzanne, also was approaching Greensburg from Florida. The pilot, Todd Reed of Greensburg, did not see the runway and missed his approach because of the thick fog, so he opted to land at a nearby airport in Columbus, Ind. The plane landed safely about 20 minutes before Horan's plane crashed.
RELATED: Ind. plane crash leaves 6 children without parents
The deaths left six children without parents. The Horans had four daughters in their teens and 20s, while the Butz' had two teenage sons.
The two men went to the same grade school together. Their families vacationed together and they coached their children's sports teams together.
The report reiterated what investigators said last week -- that Don Horan's aircraft was working property before it crashed. It had enough fuel and its landing gear was in the down position.
One witness told investigators he saw a plane with its landing lights on fly directly over his house around the time of the crash. Other witnesses said the pilot-controlled runway lights were off. Investigators said the plane's lights were working properly, but it's unclear whether Don Horan turned them on.
The report also stated that Don Horan was flying in "instrument meteorological conditions," which essentially means bad weather. The pilot had to rely on instruments instead of visuals because of the thick fog.
Investigators said it would take about six to nine months to complete the investigation, which includes preparing a factual report, interviewing witnesses and conducting a weather study. After that comes one to three more months of analysis. Then, a report on the probable cause of the crash and contributing factors will be released, lead investigator Stuart Bothwell said.
"There could be things that we discover that we have no control over that may extend the investigation," Bothwell said in a previous interview with the Star. "Generally, we want to try to have this type of investigation concluded within a year."
Aircraft equipment, including navigation devices have been sent to the federal agency's lab in Washington, D.C. for further examination.
Don Horan was a known philanthropist having contributed a million dollars to help build a new Catholic school in Greensburg a few years ago.

Committees of the House
Routine Proceedings
10:05 a.m.
Olivia Chow Trinity—Spadina, ON
Mr. Speaker, I move that the eighth report of the Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration presented on Monday, February 14, be concurred in.
I am moving this report to concur in the motion that I placed before the citizenship and immigration committee to reverse the funding cuts to settlement services agencies. This cut of $53 million was announced quietly just before Christmas.
We know that citizenship and immigration services are often the lifeline for newcomers who arrive in Canada often not knowing where to find a job, housing or language training. They rely on these service agencies to provide them with this kind of connection. The sooner these new immigrants can get settled, find a job and their kids can find a school and adapt, Canada will be a more productive place.
It is unfortunate that this cut was made because last year Canada accepted more new immigrants than ever before. Therefore, it makes no sense to inflict the cut at this time.
We understand that many of the staff in some of these agencies work long hours but are not well paid. Many of them volunteer their time and have their relatives and friends help them out. They are involved in fundraising activities in their communities to enhance the service that can be provided to them. I dare say that for every dollar that the government invests in these services agencies, these people raise much more and we get many more hours of volunteer activities from them.
It is shocking that this elimination of services for these agencies is done without any transition plan. Many of the agencies are in leased premises. We have heard that the Afghan Association of Ontario signed a five year lease but now, with only two years remaining on the lease, it has had its funding pulled. We were told that it was Citizenship and Immigration Canada that asked it to sign a long-term lease in the first place. The cutting of the funding for the Afghan Association means that the voluntary board of directors and the members themselves are now on the hook for two more years, something like $300,000, for an office it no longer can afford.
We also heard that because there is no transition plan, instead of the staff being let go through attrition, the community action resource centre estimates that over 1,000 workers from these agencies across mostly Ontario will be facing layoffs within the next two months. Without this funding, agencies will be forced to shut their doors and their valuable services will be lost. It is not good for the economy and it is not good for Canada's productivity.
Given that many of these agencies will be closing down, I thought it would be good today in the House of Commons to read out the names of these agencies so that those who support this cut can hear directly from the agencies that are being eliminated.
The list of organizations that will not have their contracts with CIC renewed include: the Afghan Association of Ontario; African Community Services of Peel; African Training and Employment Centre; Albion Neighbourhood Services; Asian Community AIDS Services; Association of Early Childhood Educators Ontario; Audmax Inc. in Mississauga; Bloor Information Life Skills Centre in Toronto, which is in my riding; the Canadian Hate Prevention Network in Brampton; Canadian Newcomer magazine in Toronto; the Community Action Resource Centre in Toronto; Credit Valley Hospital in Mississauga; Davenport-Perth Neighbourhood Centre in Toronto, which is next door to my riding; Eritrean Canadian Community Centre in Toronto; Ethiopian Association in Toronto; Gateway Centre for New Canadians in Mississauga; George Brown College in Toronto; Northwood Neighbourhood Services in Toronto; the Ontario Chamber of Commerce; Ryerson University in Toronto; the Salvation Army in Toronto; San Romanoway in Toronto; Social Planning Council of Peel in Mississauga; South Asian Women's Centre in Toronto; Tropicana Community Services in Toronto; the University of Western Ontario in London; Workers' Action Centre in Toronto; York Weston Community Services in Toronto.
I do not have time to name the other agencies that will receive less funding.
What is most tragic about this is that the immigration committee of this House spent many months last year studying best practices in settlement services. We looked at agencies and programs that would best deliver settlement services across Canada and have a series of recommendations. Just as we were about to embark on massive improvements to the settlement services, $53 million were cut.
There are six areas of programming that should receive funding: information and orientation, language and skills development, labour market participation, community connections, needs assessment and referrals, and support services. These programs would help newcomers make informed decisions about their settlement, understand life in Canada, have the proper skills needed to function in Canada and be able to find employment commensurate with their skills and education. As well, newcomers would receive help to establish social and professional networks so that they are engaged and feel welcome in the community.
These programs would ensure effective delivery and achieve positive settlement outcomes across Canada. They are the kind of programs that we believe will make a big difference in people's lives. After all, immigrants are nation-builders and are not in Canada just as economic units. We believe the faster they integrate into the community, the more productive they are and the better it is for Canada. That is why we firmly believe that spending $390 million last year to settle newcomers was a good direction. We do not want to see cuts to these services.
The committee proposed that, if possible, agencies should work together and submit joint proposals for a comprehensive approach. Because of the committee report, the agencies spent quite a bit of time connecting with each other to ensure that the services they provided were not duplicated and that services would be delivered in the most efficient way.
After they went through that exercise, some of them, unfortunately, were told that their services were no longer needed, which was a huge disappointment. They felt that the Government of Canada told them to work with each other but in the end they were being eliminated. It is seen as a betrayal by many of these agencies as they tried to improve their services.
We also noticed that there was really no performance review to tell these agencies that what they did was not up to par. There has been no attempt to talk to the agencies to tell them that they need to do something else in order to make sure their service is delivered well. Some of the service agencies that lost their funding have been commended and have received awards for delivering good services.
We also noticed that there was no transition plan to ensure that the newcomers these agencies served continued to receive service from other agencies. As a result, thousands of newcomers to Toronto will not be able to get the kind of service they need to help them settle in Canada quickly.
We find that the funding formula is deeply flawed. The minister said that funding to Ontario had been cut because it had fewer immigrants. There were only 4,000 fewer landed immigrants in Ontario last year, which is at most a 3.6% decrease, but 81% of the $53 million cut this year was inflicted on Ontario. Ontario has been shortchanged. It has 3% or 4% less immigrants. yet its funding was cut by 81%.
There is no justification for treating Ontario this way. Ontario continues to attract a large number of immigrants. Many immigrants choose to stay in the greater Toronto area. The majority of agencies being eliminated are in Toronto. It is as if Toronto is being punished for its successful method in settling newcomers. That is blatantly unfair and that is why we believe those cuts should be reversed.
The agencies that I mentioned will have their funding cease by March 31, which is in a few weeks time. Even though the immigration committee recommended that the Government of Canada continue to support and expand these immigration partnerships in Ontario and look at some of the pilot projects that have been successful in Ontario, it should be spread to other interested provinces. We studied the local immigration partnership and we believe this is a good route to take. Yet, Ontario is being punished.
The immigration committee thought it was important that we not only provide training to newcomers but also help them find jobs. Newcomers may have family issues, so we feel family counselling should be included in the theme of support services.
The six recommendations that came from the immigration committee on the best practices in settlement services need to be implemented and the funding cuts need to be reversed.
At the end of the day there are really only two ways to treat immigrants. First, we can tell them that they are in Canada only because we want them to work and we see them as economic units in the labour force.
That is one way of looking at immigrants. Another way is to say that they build our nations, that we welcome their families and their children, and that we believe that as their children go to our schools, libraries and community centres, they will enhance our communities and neighbourhoods.
A country that is willing to look ahead, be creative, and to help newcomers to adopt is the kind of country that would be far more productive and successful in the global competitive market. That is why we firmly believe that the $53 million in cuts to immigrant services really should be reversed.

Madam Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague with respect to her overview of what has been described as a desperate situation that exists in Ontario, particularly in the greater Toronto area and Toronto.
The member has given some statistics with respect to this impact. The predication upon which these cuts have been suggested is that immigrants are, in fact, not coming to Ontario at the rate they have in years gone by.
I would like to point out that the number of new immigrants coming to live in Ontario actually increased in the last census period by 109,000 to 580,740 or 23%, and yet, as the member has pointed out, we are making cuts to organizations that are delivering skills upgrading, employment search tools and language training.
It is, in fact, taking away the capacity for those people to either re-enter the job force or to enter the job force for the first time. This is creating havoc.
I would like to ask the member a question. She has outlined that there were principles that the committee had agreed on. Was there any discussion, prior to these cuts being made, with the committee where the government took the committee recommendations into its consideration when looking at those principles saying, "Look, here are the objectives we have. We are going to apply the principles, and then we will make a policy directive in a rational and informed manner".
Did that happen? The impact is absolutely desperate in the Toronto area.

Madam Speaker, there was no warning. There was no discussion or co-operation with any other levels of government.
With respect to this committee report, actually many service agencies came to Ottawa to talk about best practices. We learned a tremendous amount and that is why we have the report that was issued in March of last year.
One of the key things talked about in this report is co-operation and partnership. It talks about how the Canadian government is not alone in delivering services. Local municipalities, United Way agencies in Ontario and the provinces, and the territorial government also provide settlement services.
The best programs and the best services delivered on the ground are when all levels of government and all service providers come together and work together. That is when the best kinds of services are out in the community at the grassroots level.
Yet, with this service cut that happened just before Christmas, no other levels of government were given advance notice. The United Way of the greater Toronto area, Toronto, Mississauga, and the province of Ontario, none were given a heads up.
There was absolutely no transition plan in place. It was my way or the highway, which is really the way the Conservative government has been behaving, and that is unfortunate.

Charlie Angus Timmins—James Bay, ON
Madam Speaker, in northern Ontario, in mining country, there are numerous issues with regard to bringing skilled immigrants to the north and integrating them into society. While we are aware of the importance of building our communities with people who want to become Canadian citizens, we see a backlash in general in society questioning whether multiculturalism works.
An element that makes multiculturalism work, a traditional stand on immigration, is integration within the larger society. When we bring immigrants to Canada, we need to ensure they become part of our communities. We see the Conservative government taking two approaches that are sending us in the wrong direction.
One is the cut of $53 million to settlement and adaptation services, so that immigrant communities are left to themselves and are not able to integrate into the larger society. The other is to use labour programs to bring workers over on short-term work contracts and then send them back. Canadians do not benefit from this at all because sometimes it pushes down the labour market. Also, we are using cheap labour, sending workers back, and we do not get any benefit in our communities.
I would like to ask my hon. colleague a question. Why does she think the Conservative government is going on such a knowingly wrong-headed approach to deal with something as vitally important to Canadian society as immigration?

Madam Speaker, a few weeks ago the committee heard from service agencies in Thunder Bay in northern Ontario. A service provider described the kinds of very precious services that she provides to newcomers. She described how newcomers are able to settle, find housing, and that the children are happier because of her agency's services. By no means is she well paid. She uses many volunteers. Because of the services she provides to Thunder Bay, newcomers in the community are immensely richer because of it.
At the end of the day, there are two competing visions. One is to treat immigrants and their families as nation builders. We accept them and believe the faster they integrate, the better it is for our society, and the more productive we are. The other vision is seeing immigrants as economic units, that we should get them to work for us and then send them home, in which case we do not need to worry about how they settle. That is a very flawed vision. That is not how Canada is built and that is certainly not the New Democratic Party's vision for immigrants.

Madam Speaker, I received a press release put out by many of the organizations the member has spoken about. It is called "Fair Start--Let New Canadians Succeed". That press release pointed out that the number of staff that will be dislocated is almost 1,000 of the organizations that were not consulted and the number of people those organizations served is over 100,000.
My question is this. Does the member think there is some sort of a non-partisan way we can transcend the kind of rhetoric that often creeps into these kinds of issues and that perhaps the committee could look at the issue again? We have a bit of time because the province of Ontario has stepped in for a short period to provide some interim funding to these organizations.
Armed with that action by the provincial government, could we not assert our concern to the committee and have it review this decision?

Madam Speaker, there really needs to be a transition plan. The Government of Canada should work with other service agencies in the province of Ontario, the city of Toronto, and other cities to find ways to ensure these 100,000 newcomers would not be negatively affected.
This kind of transition plan would take at least six months to a year to put together. I hope that there will be co-operation, that we would transcend partisan games and lines to find a way to come together to ensure that newcomers do not end up losing the services.
One group of newcomers are Afghan interpreters who have put their lives on the line for our Canadian soldiers in Afghanistan. They are arriving in Canada just as the Afghan Association of Ontario is having its funding cut. These Afghan interpreters, coming to this country after serving us well, deserve a way to adapt, so they could—

Madam Speaker, I want to say a few words this morning to let those Canadians who may be watching know exactly what is occurring here today.
As members in this place know, today we were supposed to be debating Bill C-42, the strengthening aviation security act. However, only one party in this place is opposed to that piece of legislation, the party of my colleagues across the floor, the NDP.
What they are attempting to do by the use of a concurrence motion, which we see before us today, is to cut three hours out of parliamentary debate. They used the same tactic yesterday to delay debate on Bill C-42 by a further three hours. It is very ironic because, on the one hand, the members of the NDP are fond of saying publicly that they are here to make Parliament work, but in reality, what we see happening is that they do not want to make Parliament work. Bill C-42 is supported by all parties except the NDP--

Small ship operator Un-Cruise Adventures plans its first trips in Central America starting in late 2015.
The Seattle-based company says its newly acquired, 64-passenger Safari Voyager will operate along the Costa Rican coast during winters starting in December 2015, and then the ship will spend its summers along the Belize Coast. It'll offer Panama Canal sailings in the spring and fall.
The line announced earlier this month that it had acquired the vessel, which has been operating under the name Sea Voyager.

Currently in Colombia undergoing renovations, the Safari Voyager will become Un-Cruise Adventures' eighth ship. Like other Un-Cruise vessels, it will carry kayaks and skiffs for exploring, and it also will feature a swim step platform on its stern. Un-Cruise says the ship's renovation also is bringing a new library with floor-to-ceiling windows and a massage room, and the Sun Deck will become an al fresco public space with fitness equipment and lounge chairs.
The company says the Safari Voyager will begin year-round sailings in Mexico's Sea of Cortés starting this November, taking the place of Un-Cruise's 86-passenger Safari Endeavor.
The Safari Voyager will offer four different itineraries in the Sea of Cortes out of home ports La Paz, Cabo and Guaymas.
Details of the ship's Central America deployment, including itineraries, shore programs and fares, will be released in coming months, the line says.

Anyone whos retired or living on a fixed income knows how difficult it is to keep up with skyrocketing health care, fuel and food costs. And, with todays longer lifespans, many of us will need to keep our eye on the ball for much longer than our parents generation did.
Here are a few strategies to rein in spending and make better use of the money you do have:
The No. 1 rule is to make a budget and stick to it. Know exactly how much money is coming in every month and how much is going out. First, add up all income sources including pensions, 401(k) or IRA payouts, savings account interest, stock dividends and so on. Then, tally all expenses, large and small: groceries, medications, insurance premiums, rent or mortgage even coffee to go. Youll be surprised how much you spend each month.
If your expenses outweigh your income and you dont have sizeable savings to rely on, you must either increase your income or cut spending; otherwise, youll run out of money. If youre not sure how to create or stay within a budget, visit Practical Money Skills for Life, Visas free personal financial management site (www.practicalmoneyskills.com/budgeting). It features My Budget Planner, a comprehensive interactive calculator, as well as many other budgeting tools and tips.
Here are a few other suggestions that can save hundreds of dollars a year:
- You can lower your auto and homeowner/renters insurance premiums considerably by raising deductible amounts. Also, rates typically go down when you reach age 50 or 55, especially if you take a defensive driving course, so be sure to ask.
- Many health insurers offer deep discounts if you order several months worth of routine medications at once or order by mail. Also, online pharmacies often charge less than walk-in drugstores and may provide free shipping, so comparison shop.
- Weatherproof your home and buy energy-efficient appliances to drastically reduce your utility bill. Go to www.energystar.gov for more information and check with your utility for rebate offers.
- Ask if your utility offers senior or low-income household discounts or subsidies.
- The U.S. Department of Agricultures food stamp program helps millions of lower-income Americans buy nutritious food each month. Visit www.fns.usda.gov/fsp to see if you qualify.
- Consider joining AARP. For a $12.50 annual fee, anyone over 50 can take advantage of hundreds discounted products and services for members including insurance, hotels, restaurants, department stores and much more (www.aarp.org).
- AARPs website also features a Low Income Help page with tips on finding state, federal and private assistance programs for which you may qualify.
- Before purchasing anything, always ask if they have a senior discount. Many supermarkets, department stores and entertainment venues offer senior discount days or hours where you can save 10 percent or more.
- Always check your receipt for errors before leaving the store.
- For travel-related expenses, ask about senior discounts with hotels, car rentals, airlines and buses and tourist attractions. But compare with other discounts to ensure its the best deal.
- Lower entertainment costs by using the library for books, magazines, music and movies.
- Many colleges offer free or reduced tuition for seniors. Also, check out www.elderhostel.org for travel and learning adventures, worldwide.
Youve worked hard for your money - make sure it lasts a long time by watching how you spend.

Posts Tagged 'MF760 combine'
She's Number One
This is the story of a long-distance love affair, involving not one, not two, but three men infatuated with one "old girl." Longtime readers of FarmLife magazine may recall an article from the fall 2008 issue about two British brothers, Steven and Kevin Clarke, who became fascinated with the American wheat harvest after watching a 1976 BBC documentary on the topic. The 50-minute special featured a certain combine—the Massey Ferguson® 760, which, for the boys, became a focal point, an embodiment of much of the "wonder and curiosity" the documentary had instilled in them.
Raised on a farm, the Clarkes themselves grew up to farm and custom harvest with their own fleet of Massey Ferguson combines in North Norfolk, England, about a three-hour drive northeast of London. One of their favorite things to do with their time off is visit their friend Delbert Joyner near Enid, Okla., and help with his wheat harvest.
For six years now, the Clarkes have kept their own MF760 at Joyner's farm and recently added another very special model—the "old girl" referred to earlier, which just happened to be the first MF760 to come off the production line in 1971.
Found several years ago in the corner of a Kansas wheat field, it had been parked there for 33 years before the Clarkes and Marvin Helland, another American friend and custom harvester from North Dakota, convinced the owner to sell it.
Thought to quite possibly be a terminal case because of how long it sat in the elements unused, the original MF760 is now running again, thanks to its hardy construction and the efforts of its three enthusiastic new owners. Amazingly, "number one" helped complete the harvest at the Joyner farm this year, and all involved hope she'll continue working for many years to come.

Many of these 'hidden heroes' suffer health issues themselves -- or even lose their paying jobs.
From 275,000 to more than 1.1 million Americans are caring in their homes for relatives wounded or emotionally damaged in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, according to a RAND study being made public Thursday.
Little is known about these family members, researchers say. A typical profile is a woman, age 38 with young children, who faces decades of caring for a wounded husband.
Some work 80 hours a week assisting their loved ones with bathing, dressing, eating, using the toilet, making medical appointments, managing finances or struggling through emotional difficulties.
They "often toil in relative obscurity," the study says.
Researchers estimate that 800,000 servicemembers who deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan since 9/11 have suffered wounds, illnesses and injuries — the majority stricken with traumatic brain injury, post-traumatic stress disorder or depression.
"There is no national strategy for (their) caregivers," says former senator Elizabeth Dole, whose group Caring for Military Families: The Elizabeth Dole Foundation, funded the study. "We've got to raise awareness because most Americans are not aware of these hidden heroes."
In an aging American society, family caregivers have become a broader societal issue. But challenges faced by military family caregivers, whose loved ones may require decades of care, appear to be unique, says Terri Tanielian, the lead researcher.
"The consequences of those burdens could be more severe," Tanielian says. "It's taking a toll on them directly and that is kind of an unseen cost of war."
Drawing from caregiver focus groups and some limited published research, RAND researchers found that families caring for the wounded often wrestle with financial and legal issues, advocate for new treatments and navigate a web of government bureaucracies.
They lose wages, jobs and health insurance in the process, and see their own health suffer in some cases from the stress.
At the same time, they save the government untold sums of money by assuming care of these veterans. Often, children within the households also help, research shows. "Little is known about the impact ... on younger children," the report says.
Researchers found that recent federal legislation aimed at providing more assistance to military caregivers has been used by only a few hundred to a few thousand caregivers.
Dole said that she became passionate about the issue when her husband, former senator Bob Dole, a World War II veteran, was hospitalized temporarily in 2010 at what was then Walter Reed Army Medical Center.
"We've got to raise awareness (about these caregivers)," she says. "That's a woman sleeping on a (cot) by her husband's bed. Or it might be a mother keeping vigil over a son, wrapped up in blankets in a chair."
Dole says the funding is part of a broader effort by the foundation. Additional RAND research could shed light on the numbers and composition of military caregivers, their specific needs and actionable recommendations.
The foundation is also providing grants to: the National Military Family Association to develop caregiver best practices, the Military Officers Association of America to assist in providing legal and financial planning assistance to these families; and the Military Child Education Coalition to address the needs of their children.

Mobile devices and their underlying operating systems sometimes create a dilemma for organizations: Do we supply every user with a standard device such as an Android, BlackBerry, or iPhone or let employees use what they already own—known as bring your own device (BYOD)? The first option gives the company the control it's accustomed to having over corporate assets; BYOD offers greater flexibility and embraces the personal empowerment that has helped make those devices so pervasive in the first place.
For some organizations, BYOD is a good choice right now—for example, if the organization has user groups with distinct needs or is in a stage of experimentation. For others, the diffuse nature of BYOD— there are six major operating systems in play (Android, BlackBerry, iOS, Symbian, webOS, and Windows Mobile)—might require too many IT resources to manage, or it might slow down the organization's ability to develop custom applications because custom applications must work with each mobile platform. Or, for security reasons, limited choice might be appropriate in areas where high degrees of rigor and consistency are required, such as in regulated environments, in the finance sector, for protected data, and for physical safety. At least for now, some organizations are limiting the choice of device, operating system, and applications in those circumstances.
New tools are making it possible to more easily manage devices that use a range of different operating systems. PwC research suggests that limited BYOD will become the rule more than the exception. Providing the devices at no cost to selected employees reduces clutter and ensures focus on a mobility strategy. A variation on BYOD that might work best for many organizations is to limit employee choice to a few of the popular consumer devices that can be more easily integrated and supported.
For many companies, security is the primary barrier to pursuing mobility. And in a BYOD scenario, the business faces the challenge of managing access, usage, and security across different devices. The new mobile device management (MDM) tools not only allow cross-platform management, but also help protect corporate data. MDM tools such as the BlackBerry Enterprise Server, the Good for Enterprise suite, and the MobileIron server provide a central console for managing multiple devices with a common set of policies, thereby ensuring consistent policy enforcement and providing auditing capabilities as well. One important feature is remote wipe and lock, should the device be lost, stolen, or compromised. And for organizations using devices that run on Apple's iOS or Research In Motion's BlackBerry, the management products can selectively delete data—for example, erasing any corporate information but retaining a user's personal data on an employee-owned device. Another approach being developed to address this issue is virtualization, which lets businesses create a partition between enterprise assets and employee assets.
Defining the company's mobile app development strategy is a crucial consideration. Organizations must decide how they will extend existing business applications to a mobile environment and how they'll develop others that support new device capabilities and ways of working. Understanding the range of options is especially important for developing new apps. Even though many companies think that building so-called native apps—that is, apps designed to take advantage of a specific mobile operating system—is the best approach, they might discover that less-resource-intensive approaches can meet their needs. Following are the three primary approaches.
One important technology here is the forthcoming HTML5, the next generation of the widely used Web programming language that will support more featurerich mobile applications, such as those that take advantage of location data. While HTML5 will not be finalized for several years, major components have already been implemented in the most popular mobile and desktop browsers, thereby providing an opportunity for businesses to test and use the capabilities over time.
Virtualization allows a single version of an application to run on any mobile device. Several virtualization methods can be used for developing and deploying mobile apps, but the most promising currently is thin-client virtualization. It provides a high level of security, thanks to its ability to separate the application and its data from everything else on the device.
Native app development lets organizations take advantage of the unique functional or interface capabilities that more-generic Web technologies cannot. In particular, that includes the ability to handle common sensor data from the devices—such as acceleration, spatial orientation, ambient light levels, and proximity detection—that could be used for new classes of services and applications. However, many organizations today are spending money developing mobile apps that are native but don't need to be. If your company doesn't need to develop an app that makes heavy use of the phone's camera, for example, a native app might not be necessary at all. In many cases, either optimizing existing websites so that mobile device users can view them easily or developing a Web app is enough, especially in view of HTML5's new capabilities. We believe that once HTML5 matures, mobilefriendly websites and Web-based apps will be able to address the majority of mobile enterprise needs. (See Figure 1.)
We see businesses choosing different development approaches depending on the specific application. In our view, it's likely that the majority of corporate apps will be Web based, reserving native development for new (no computer-based equivalent was in place) or sensor-enabled applications. Examples of new applications are those that scan products' bar codes to get more information or check pricing elsewhere, display the maintenance staff's current status on work requests when they're in the field, and serve as remote controls for Wi-Fi-enabled devices such as TVs, building automation systems, and security cameras. Examples of sensor applications are pedometers that calculate energy use, routing tools that direct drivers to their destinations based on current conditions, and visual heart-rate monitoring.
Another technology-related consideration is the cost of wireless communications as more and more corporate data traffic moves to mobile devices. As they plan for increased mobile use, businesses may wish to begin service contract discussions with carriers, as well as to ensure that employees have access to their usage costs and can monitor them. In the meantime, to provide a direct incentive for cost control, many companies are reimbursing employees a fixed or capped rate for smartphone communication usage.
Some businesses are also preparing internal facilities to accommodate broader use of wireless within the organization, which can help control costs. For example, they are upgrading Wi-Fi networks in major offices so that a mobile device can automatically use the company's own Wi-Fi when the Wi-Fi is in range rather than use the cellular network.
Another considerable challenge is the ability to accommodate greater input and output capabilities—like printing spreadsheets and presentations—than are possible with mobile devices. While more such features will come from mobile vendors, companies can do a great deal to prepare and enable that capability by choosing display and printing facilities that work wirelessly.

These days everyone keeps looking for guest bloggers to write guest posts for their blogs. Getting guest posts isn't a hard task in fact it can be the easiest thing if you've have a high traffic blog.
If you look at my blog, you'll see I get bunch of guest posts every day and many bloggers keeps asking me what I'm doing to get guest posts? Today I'm sharing 5 effective strategies that I've used to get guest posts on my blog.
1. Add Guest post Page
This is far one of the easiest way to get guest posts on your blog. All you need to do is to create a "write for us" page on your blog. If you never created a guest post page than here's what you need to add:
So, you want to write for Blog Name? We love to publish your guest post. Now don't ask for benefits, because we Blog Name is one of the fastest growing blog on the planet. The benefits are just much more then getting traffic or backlinks, you can gain exposure and introduce your blog to our fastest growing community.
Some simple Requirements
- Posts are at least 450+ words.
- Interacting and replying to comments is must.
- Posts have a basic structure and are at least broken down into paragraphs.
- Posts must be in good English.
- Please don't add more than two links.
- The post you submit to us is unique.
How to guest post to Blog Name?
- Register an account here
- Add your Full name, second name and fill out a short profile Bio info, feel free to add a link or two to your blog/site (use HTML)
- Visit Gravatar.com, having an image is a must in your profile
- Write your post, save it and it will be reviewed and published asap!!
2. Invite Bloggers
You can contact bloggers with a good pitch and why you'd like to get the guest posts from them. This is very effective strategy and I've good success with it. You don't have to contact high profile or A list bloggers, contact an average blogger.
You can use blogging communities to find bloggers, who may be interested in doing guest posting on your blog.
Blokube is one of those communities which can help you find great bloggers who can write guest posts for your blog.
3. Join Social Media Networks
This may not be very effective way but still a useful one. I did found few guest bloggers who wants to do guest posting for my blog through Social Media Networks like Facebook & Twitter. In order to get success from Facebook & Twitter, you need to be very active in those networks.
You can use free/paid tools to automate the process – Dlvr.it, Triberr, Bufferapp,Tweetdeck, etc.
4. MyBlogGuest
I'm sure most of you already know about MyBlogGuest, most awesome marketplace for finding guest posts for your blog. It is a forum community where bloggers give info about their blogs and then ask for guest posts from other bloggers/users.
MyBlogGuest is a unique community that is based on one simple principle: if you provide quality, you don't need to pay to be heard. It is not just about getting more guest posts, it has forum, marketplace, gallery, find blogs for guest posting and much more. It even has a Premium Feature & Ann did great work in branding it.
5. Run a Guest blogging contest
Last but not least – Run a guest blogging contest, like I'm doing on Blokube Blog. Give away cash/ebooks/tools as prizes to the contest winners who do most number of guest posts on your blog. This can be a very effective strategy but to be very successful with guest blogging contest, you need to market it properly. Here's what you can do to make sure your contest is a success:
- Contact bloggers/marketers and ask them to write a post about the contest
- Get a banner designed and ask the participants to put it on their blogs.
- Promote the contest on Forums like DigitalPoint, Warrior Forums & Webmaster Forums.
- Use Buysellads to do some paid promotion.
Over To You
All the above factors contributed effectively my blog in getting quality guest posts and will work for any type of content in any niche, in case you find something to disagree with in this post or have an opinion on this topic, please do share it with us below. If you find this post useful than please share it on Twitter or Facebook!
