Gleason Professor in Mechanical Engineering
Curriculum Vitae
Satish Kandlikar is the Gleason Professor of Mechanical Engineering at RIT. He received his Ph.D. degree from the Indian Institute of Technology in Bombay in 1975 and had been a faculty there before coming to RIT in 1980. His research is mainly focused in the area of flow boiling. After investigating the flow boiling phenomena from an empirical standpoint, which resulted in widely accepted correlations for different geometries, he started to look at the problem from a fundamental perspective. Using the high speed photography techniques, he demonstrated that small bubbles are released at high frequency under flow conditions. His current work involves stabilizing flow boiling in microchannels, interface mechanics during rapid evaporation, and advanced chip cooling with single-phase liquid flow. He has published over 100 journal and conference papers. He is a fellow member of ASME and has been the organizer of the two international conferences on Microchannels and Minichannels sponsored by ASME. He is the founder of the ASME Heat Transfer Chapter in Rochester and founder and first Chairman of the E-cubed fair - a science and engineering fair for middle school students. The fair is hosted every year, since 1991, in celebration of the National Engineers Week.
Dr. Junichi Ohara is a visiting scholar at RIT's TAMFL for 10 months from March 20, 2004 to January 20, 2005. Dr. Ohara is an associate professor from the Department of Digital Engineering, at Numazu College of Technology in Japan. Since 1993, he has been studying falling film evaporation in plate-fin heat exchangers. Eventually, Dr. Ohara would like to develop his work by adopting various methods to correlate a new evaporation heat transfer coefficient. While at RIT, Dr. Ohara will be researching flow boiling in microchannels. His professional memberships include The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers and The Heat Transfer Society of Japan.

text: Johannesburg - Walmart's entry into SA, with the retailer's low-cost philosophy, continues to shake up the retail sector as Massmart subsidiaries and its biggest competitors feel compelled to cut prices, said Business Report. The paper quotes Alan Coward, CEO of home appliances supplier Amalgamated Appliances, as saying: "Walmart's entry has indeed resulted in consumers being winners. "With Walmart coming here things have changed and competitors have upped their game. Suppliers have cut costs where necessary, especially in their distribution centres and their warehouses." Coward said although some suppliers had to reconsider their selling prices, "they have worked with the retailers but not in a collusive manner". It is evident that competition is heating up in the retail space, especially between Shoprite Holdings [JSE:SHP] and Massmart Holdings [JSE:MSM], which have adopted longer price-cut promotion periods, the report said. Retail analysts said price-cut promotions have definitely benefited consumers. Since the beginning of the year, both Massmart and Checkers reportedly claim to have saved consumers up to R300m through aggressive discounting, and by keeping prices lower for longer.

James Easdale has been given a silent 'welcome' to the blue room.
The controversial Renfrewshire transport tycoon was appointed as a non-executive director of Rangers International yesterday afternoon but there was no glowing words from chairman Walter Smith.
James, and his business partner, and brother, Sandy are believed to have an agreement in place to buy out Charles Green's shareholding later this year.
The arrival of Easdale co-incided with the departures of Malky Murray and Phil Cartmell leaving Smith isolated in the board surrounded by Green's allies.
In contrast to the silence that greeted Easdale's arrival Smith was full of praise for the departing duo.
In a stock market statement the club chairman said: "Both Malcolm and Phil have made important and valuable contributions to the club.
"The last year has presented the club with a number of challenges and it has been beneficial to have two highly experienced non-executive directors such as Malcolm and Phil offering assistance.
"On behalf of the board I would like to thank them for their considerable efforts in helping to rebuild Rangers. Both men have other significant business interests and we wish them well in their future endeavours."
When he was appointed as chairman in May Smith said: "Unity among the directors is vital. We must all be on the same page as often as possible. We won't always agree but Rangers, this club and our fans must always come first.
"It is a great honour to be asked to take up this position and it goes without saying that I feel proud as well as humble. However, no one should believe that I see my role as a passive one."
Smith's boardroom skills are likely to be tested as the new look board attempt to get spending under control ahead of an AGM following the publication of audited accounts.

Tissue Competition
Published January 18th, 2013
Loading Video...
ALACHUA - A 10 year old from Alachua could soon find her artwork appearing on tissue boxes all over the country. Samantha Garcia spent most of December in the hospital with a life threatening infection. It started in her ear and eventually led to her face becoming partially paralyzed.
While in the hospital she drew a colorful picture that caught the attention of her caregivers. They entered it in a design contest for White Cloud tissues.
Her mother, Christina del Valle, says Samantha always wanted to be famous and that maybe this is her chance. Samantha used to always tell her late grandfather about her yearning to be famous, and likes to think this is his way of making her wish come true.
Anybody can vote on the White Cloud webpage. Samantha's drawing is currently in fourth place and if selected, Shands Hospital in Gainesville would receive 15-thousand dollars through the Children's Miracle Network.
Samantha has fully recovered from the infection and her face is no longer paralyzed.

Same here, NOTHING beats FSG for price & performance.
I use 1/4 cup seeds to 4cups water and boil until it is a lighter brown color (so it's a bit thicker when cool). Imediately strain thru a fine mesh strainer. Allow to cool 2 minutes before adding extras.
I like veg. glycerin, epsom salts, orange essential oil, use a hair color applicator bottle to dispense (store in frig.) and the extra can be frozen.

Montana NDAA Nullification Bill Passes House Committee, 20-0
Posted by Michael Boldin
By a unanimous voice voice today, the Montana House Judiciary Committee voted to approved House Bill 522 (HB522) and move it to the full state house.
A modified version of the Liberty Preservation Act released by the Tenth Amendment Center, Montana joins a growing choir of states and localities who've decided that waiting for federal politicians to repeal their own power is something they're not willing to risk.
The bill was sponsored by State Representative Nicholas Schwaderer who worked hard behind the scenes to get a bipartisan group of legislators to cosponsor – 18 republicans and 6 democrats.
After yesterday's committee hearing on HB522, Montana Tenth Amendment Center coordinator Tim Ravndal expressed his belief that the bill would pass, and the fact that a wide coalition across the political aisle was in support:
"HB 522 FLEW through the House Judiciary Committee Hearing. I was asked at the conclusion of the hearing how it felt to be on the same side with ACLU. "Politics make strange bedfellows" We had no opposition to the bill, and only one question from the committee seeking clarification. This bill is on the freight train heading for the Governor!"
If signed into law, HB522 would make it illegal for Montana to participate in NDAA indefinite detention: "The state of Montana may not provide material support or participate with the implementation of sections 1021 and 1022 of the federal National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012, Public Law 112-81, within the boundaries of this state"
Noncompliance with federal law is 100% noncontroversial both legally and constitutionally. There's absolutely ZERO serious thought that supports the idea that the federal government has the constitutional authority to require state agents to enforce federal laws. Even the Supreme Court has affirmed this more than once in recent history. Statements to the contrary are absurd.
Such noncompliance on a wide scale is very effective in rendering an unconstitutional federal act null, void or just unenforceable. Learn how this method plays out and works HERE.
ACTION STEPS for Montana….
rizona NDAA Nullification Bill Passes Committee, 6-2
Posted by Michael Boldin
By a vote of 6-2 the Arizona State House Judiciary Committee approved House Bill 2573 (HB2573), bringing it one step away from a full House vote.
A modified version of the Liberty Preservation Act released by the Tenth Amendment Center, Arizona joins a growing choir of states and localities who've decided that waiting for federal politicians to repeal their own power is something they're not willing to risk.
Tenth Amendment Center member Bryan Berkland said as much in his public testimony in support of the bill:
"It would be nice if the federal government would check their own power, but that's not happening." Berkland began his testimony by pointing out the most important issue at hand, the federal government has no legitimate authority to indefinitely detain, that is, arrest without end and without access to courts or lawyers. He said, "When I read the Constitution, I don't find any authorization for this."
The bill was sponsored by State Representatives Carl Seel and Brenda Barton along with State Senator Judy Burgess. If signed into law, HB2573 would ban the state from providing "material support" or participating "in any way" with sections 1021 and 1022 of the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), the sections which purport to authorize indefinite detention and are in effect today. (read more HERE and HERE).
At the beginning of testimony, the Committee chair noted that since so many people from the public were in attendance and had sign up to speak in favor of the bill – and no one has signed up to speak against it – they would allow a limited number of people to make the case. After Representative Seel and Berkland spoke, Mr Clark, a known local progressive activist, also urged the committee to vote in favor. In his testimony he spoke of something that's happening across the country in opposition to indefinite detention – setting aside differences for common cause. "I stand strangely-enough with the republicans in support of this bill."
Only one person spoke against the bill during the entire hearing – one of the two committee members who voted against it. (awaiting confirmation of the name of the member)
"A bill in contravention to the federal government is troubling to me. If someone is opposed to federal policy, the place to take it up is in the courts, not here in the state house."
The problem with this statement is that the member is possibly not understanding the bill he just voted against. HB2573 doesn't do anything to federal law. It says that the State of Arizona will not assist the federal government in carrying out their unconstitutional law. There's absolutely ZERO serious thought that supports the idea that the federal government has the constitutional authority to require state agents to enforce federal laws. Even the Supreme Court has affirmed this more than once in recent history. Statements to the contrary are absurd.
Noncompliance with federal law – 100% noncontroversial both legally and constitutionally – is quite effective. Learn how this method plays out and works HERE.
Also, supporters of the bill might want to consider asking the representative if he would have been opposed to those states who passed laws in the 1850s in contravention to federal slave-catching laws, or if his rejection of such actions is simply limited to indefinite detention.

The 42nd fastest supercomputer on earth doesn't exist.
This fall, Amazon built a virtual supercomputer atop its Elastic Compute Cloud — a web service that spins up virtual servers whenever you want them — and this nonexistent mega-machine outraced all but 41 of the world's real supercomputers.
Yes, beneath Amazon's virtual supercomputer, there's real hardware. When all is said and done, it's a cluster of machines, like any other supercomputer. But that virtual layer means something. This isn't a supercomputer that Amazon uses for its own purposes. It's a supercomputer that can be used by anyone.
Amazon is the poster child for the age of cloud computing. Alongside their massive e-tail business, Jeff Bezos and company have built a worldwide network of data centers that gives anyone instant access to computing resources, including not only virtual servers but virtual storage and all sorts of other services that can be accessed from any machine on the net. This global infrastructure is so large, it can run one of the fastest supercomputers on earth — even as it's running thousands upon thousands of other virtual servers for the world's businesses and developers.
This not only shows the breadth of Amazon's service. It shows that in the internet age, just about anyone can run a supercomputer-sized application without actually building a supercomputer. "If you wanted to spin up a ten or twenty thousand [processor] core cluster, you could do it with a single mouse click," says Jason Stowe, the CEO of Cycle Computing, an outfit that helps researchers and businesses run supercomputing applications atop EC2. "Fluid dynamics simulations. Molecular dynamics simulations. Financial analysis. Risk analysis. DNA sequencing. All of those things can run exceptionally well atop the [Amazon EC2 infrastructure]."
And you could do it for a pittance — at least compared to the cost of erecting your own supercomputer. This fall, Cycle Computing setup a virtual supercomputer for an unnamed pharmaceutical giant that spans 30,000 processor cores, and it cost $1,279 an hour. Stowe — who has spent more than two decades in the supercomputing game, working with supercomputers at Carnegie Mellon University and Cornell — says there's still a need for dedicated supercomputers you install in your own data center, but things are changing.
"I've been doing this kind of stuff for awhile," he says, "and I think that five or 10 years from now, researchers won't be worrying about administering their own clusters. They'll be spinning up the infrastructure they need [from services like EC2] to answer the question they have. The days of having your own internal cluster are numbered."
To Cloud or Not to Cloud
The old guard does not agree. Last month, during a round table discussion at the Four Seasons hotel in San Francisco, many of the companies that help build the world's supercomputers — including Cray and Penguin Computing — insisted that cloud services can't match what you get from dedicated cluster when it comes to "high-performance computing," or HPC. "Cloud for HPC is still hype," said Charlie Wuischpard, the CEO of Penguin Computing. "You can do some wacky experiments to show you could use HPC in that environment, but it's really not something you would use today."
But it is being used today. And Amazon's climb up the Top 500 supercomputer list shows that EC2 has the capacity to compete with at least the supercomputers that are built with ordinary microprocessors and other commodity hardware parts. "Rather than building your own cluster," says Jack Dongarra, the University of Tennessee professor who oversees the annual list of the Top 500 supercomputers, "Amazon is an option."
Amazon's virtual supercomputer wasn't nearly as powerful as the massive computing clusters sitting at the peak of the Top 500. It could handle about 240 trillion calculations a second — aka 240 teraflops — while the machine at the top of the list, Japan's K Computer, reaches 10 quadrillion calculations a second, or 10.51 petaflops. As Dongarra points out, clusters like the K Computer use specialized hardware you won't find at Amazon or other supercomputers below, say, the top 25 on earth. "The top 25 are rather specialized machines," Dongarra says. "They're designed in some sense for a subset of very specialized applications."
But according to Dongarra, you could still run these specialized applications atop Amazon. They just wouldn't be quite as fast. And though some researchers and business need are looking for petaflops, others will do just fine with teraflops.
Clouds Meet PODs
The irony is that Charlie Wuischpard and Penguin Computing actually offer their own online supercomputing service. They call it Penguin-On-Demand. But this is a little different from Amazon EC2. In essence, Penguin is offering remote access to a specific set of machines running in one of its data centers, whereas Amazon offers access to a virtual infrastructure that shared among everyone using the service. "[POD] is not a virtualized resource," Wuischpard tells us. "It's especially built for high-performance computing workloads. Amazon is now trying to add this sort of thing to their toolkit, if you will, but I still think we have a leg up on them."
The distinction between the two is rather difficult to get at. Ultimately, it comes down to two things: Penguin can tell you exactly where your application is running, and it has a long history with supercomputing. "There is a lot of difficulty in getting your application to run in the cloud," Wuischpard says. "There's network drivers and compilers and other stuff. You could figure out a lot of that on your own, but part of our aim with POD is to provide of expertise in building and running these machines to help our customers get on board and start using it." According to Chuck Moore, a corporate fellow and technology group CTO at chip-designer Advanced Micro Devices, application will require a significant rewrite if you're moving them from an old school supercomputer to a service like Amazon.
Some operations do prefer Penguin's service to Amazon. Earthmine — a company that offers 3-D maps of the world much like Google Street View offers 2-D images — uses POD to generate these 3-D models, and company founder and chief technology officer John Ristevski cites Penguin's support as a reason his company doesn't use Amazon. "You need a certain level of support, help with things like loading data off out disks and tweaking the performance of the cluster to suit our needs," he tells Wired. "That's not something we'll ever get from Amazon. Amazon is never going to manage the distribution of the jobs or the processing itself, which is something that Penguin does."
But with Amazon, a company like Cycle Computing can provide this sort of help, and even Penguin CEO Charlie Wuischpard acknowledges that the gap between Amazon and dedicated supercomputers is shrinking. Amazon built its virtual supercomputer for the Top 500 list as a way of announcing a new type of virtual server instance on EC2 that's specifically designed for HPC applications. It's unclear how Amazon ran its benchmark tests for the Top 500 List — the company did not respond to multiple requests for comment — but it looks like they ran the tests on a new cluster of physical machines before they were actually added to Amazon's public service. Amazon previously offered instances for HPC applications, but these new CC2 instances are even beefier.
Spin Up, Spin Down
The point is that Amazon is an option. And it's a rather convenient option. For Jason Stowe, the CEO of Cycle Computing, the idea of building 30,000-core supercomputer with no hardware that costs just $1,279 an hour to run is something that can't be ignored. "It's just absurd," he says. "If you created a 30,000-core cluster in a data center, that would cost you $5 million, $10 million, and you'd have to pick a vendor, buy all the hardware, wait for it to come, rack it, stack it, cable it, and actually get it working. You'd have to wait six months, 12 months before you go it running."
And by that time, he says, your application may have changed. "Your question may have evolved since you first provisioned your infrastructure," Stowe says. "You may need more than 30,000 cores." The added twist is that after you spin up 30,000 machines on Amazon, you can just as easily spin them down when you don't need them.
Stowe agrees that Amazon isn't for everyone. He acknowledges that Amazon's virtualization layer may put a real drag on certain applications — a dedicated supercomputer runs without virtualization — but he says there are far more applications that will run just fine on a cloud service. And any drag will be much less than the six to 12 months it would take to build a supercomputer — not to mention the expense. "Your application may run 5 percent slower," he says. "But you're still getting access to world-class compute power."Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

The North American racetracks hosting lemonade stands on Belmont Stakes Day collectively raised more than $114,000 to benefit Alex's Lemonade Stand for Pediatric Cancer Research, the charity founded by Alexandra "Alex" Scott in 2000. The figure is expected to increase as nine tracks are yet to report their figures and others are finalizing exact amounts.
Scott, who succumbed to neuroblastoma last August, launched her first lemonade stand at the age of four to help raise money for cancer research.
Forty racetracks in the United States and Canada participated in yesterday's charity, as well as account wagering company AmericaTab, which hosted racing's only online lemonade stand. Harrah's Louisana Downs and Tampa Bay Downs made a direct contribution to the fund in lieu of hosting a stand.
The racing community has been captivated with the connection between Scott and Cash Is King Stable's Afleet Alex, who romped in Saturday's Belmont Stakes, since the 3-year-old's owners vowed to pledge a portion of his purse winnings to the charity. The Thoroughbred Racing Associations coordinated the efforts of its membership and non-member racetracks to join the more than 1,100 other lemonade stands erected across the country in support of the cause Saturday.
Belmont Park, the site of Saturday's Belmont Stakes, raised $29,000 for Alex's Lemonade Stand at its two trackside stands. Charles Town Races and Slots in Charles Town, W.V., came in as the second largest donating site with $12,055. AmericaTab, along with a few racetracks, matched the donations raised at their stands. Delaware Park, the home base of Afleet Alex's trainer Tim Richey, raised $3,095 for Alex's Lemonade Stand and its match lifted the track's total contribution to $6,190. Other tracks to match donations were Prairie Meadows Racetrack and Casino, Canterbury Park, and the Meadowlands.
More than 1,000 Charles Fazzino posters featuring an Alex's Lemonade Stand at Belmont Park were sold at 22 participating racetracks for a minimum $10 donation. Charles Fazzino, the official artist of the Belmont Stakes this year, donated the posters and associated costs with their production and distribution.

It happens all the time when you're fishing a tournament. The fish are concentrated or the weather changes, and you find yourself fishing with 30 other boats all piled up in 50 acres of water. It's disheartening, especially when you believe you have a winning game plan that's just been destroyed.
It's not the best situation — I'll agree to that. But it isn't the end of the world. Keep your head on straight, stay calm and positive, and think. There are things you can do to catch them. It's just a matter of figuring things out.
The first thing you need to consider is whether or not the fish are conditioned. That's absolutely critical. How long has this been going on? If it's less than a day, I suggest that you fish the way you intended to fish before all the other boats arrived. The fish haven't been under pressure for that long, so their positions and preferences probably haven't changed that much.
Throw the same baits in the same places as if the other boats weren't there. Totally ignore them. The only thing you might do differently is to make sure you cover water as fast as possible. If you dilly-dally around, the other guys will get on some of your spots and some of your fish before you can.
The much tougher situation is when it's the second or third day of having 30 boats piled up in 50 acres of water. The fish are likely to be traumatized. Often times when you're faced with that situation the best thing you can do is to downsize your lure and your line right off the bat.
Finesse fishing will catch fish when nothing else will, and the lighter your line the more bites you'll get — especially if the water's clear. They may not be the biggest fish, or the ones you want, but they will be fish. We're talking about survival here. Don't confuse that with a stringer of lunkers.
The next thing you want to do is leave no stone unturned. If everyone is fishing open water structure, look to the bank. Is there something there that might produce a fish or two? Maybe it's an isolated dock in real shallow water, a tiny stickup out by itself or something else that looks out of place.
If everyone is fishing the bank, look towards the open water. Bass move when they're under pressure. Maybe they were in one place or another before all the boats moved in over the top of them. But now they're trying to get away. They want nothing to do with the noise, the shadows and the commotion that's going on over their heads. Look to where the other anglers aren't. If you're a fish, that's a better place.
You might also want to change the direction of your casts. Sometimes that'll make a huge difference. The bottom line here is to do something different. Give the fish something to look at that the other 29 boats aren't giving them.
The final recommendation I'd make is to watch what the other anglers are doing and adjust your fishing according to what you see. If everyone is throwing a crankbait, that'll give you a clue as to what everyone else is thinking. Then you have to decide for yourself if you should do the same thing.
If they're catching plenty of fish on their crankbaits, that's one thing. But if they're not doing very well, maybe you should go with a different bait. Or maybe you'll want to fish behind them with a jig or plastic worm.
There are no hard and fast rules here. If I knew of any I'd be the first guy to tell you about them. It's always a judgment call when you're in a crowd. You can see, though, the kinds of things you should be thinking about. And thinking is what this scenario is all about.
More often than not, regardless of all the things I've written about, the guy who comes out of a crowd with a good stringer will be the guy who maintains his mental focus and keeps a positive mental attitude. Never forget that.

The work on display represents the various artists' perspectives on sustainability and humanity's complicated relationship with the earth and environment.

In the 21st century, we find ourselves amidst the fallout of our own past—policies and practices that have left us with a high standard of living, but also a planet ravaged with pollution and tons upon tons of garbage—an "embarrassment of riches", so to speak. Can we modify our forward progress to include practices that are more sustainable?"

Ayomi Yoshida: Yedoensis
January 15 - March 7, 2008
Rotunda Gallery
Contemporary Japanese artist Ayomi Yoshida, fourth generation in the Yoshida printmaking dynasty, will be in residency for approximately one month installing a work that will both contrast and augment the Ukiyo-e and Sôsaku Hanga displays in the other galleries. Her large-scale site-specific installations explore the physical aspects of the woodblock printmaking process. "Prunus x yedoensis" is the scientific name for a cultivated yoshino cherry tree. According to the artist, "Cherry trees seem to burst into blossom allat once, and after a day or two, drop thier petals just as quickly. In Japan they have long been emblematic of life's evanescence."
This exhibition, along with the accompanying exhibits of prints and objects from the Richard F. Grott Family, is part of the project "National/International Conciousness in Japan: Self, Place and Society During the Ninteenth, Twentieth and Twenty-first Centuries."
A publication, supported in part by the Japan Foundation, is forthcoming.

The Imagery of Helene Smith-Romer

|This mid-career retrospective of Chicago artist Helene Smith-Romer expands and investigates the Dadaist approach to life from a contemporary feminist perspective. In her collages, artist's books, writings, and as curator of the 'I Due Art 4 You Museum', she humorously explores and evolves the traditional Dadaist ideology and employment of technology. Smith-Romer challenges both the visual surface and the viewer as she simultaneously orchestrates and balances elements of incongruity from the unconscious versus conscious, chaos versus order, the copy versus the original, found objects versus mass produced items, fabrication versus truth, and chance compared to randomness.
Catalogue with essays by Janina Ciezadlo and James Hugunin.

Kick-starters will have to sustain their image within the games industry for the foreseeable future in order to gain a normalised stature, more projects failing will not help to maintain that image, pledging to shaky ventures does not help the kick-start concept. The band-waggon effect is noticeable, some projects appear questionable and less than economical with the proposed product information. The more risky ventures could be choking the potential of the kick-starter concept overall - there appears to be no segregation filter element that can be applied to kick-starter project choice, it will remain forever notional - a gamer choice.

Windsor police are looking for a purse snatcher with a "stretcher" earring who preyed on a young woman early Saturday as she fumbled for her keys.
Officers were called around 1:45 a.m. to an apartment building in the 1300 block of Ouellette Avenue. They were met by a 20-year-old woman. She told police she was robbed as she returned home to her apartment with her girlfriend.
She said she entered the lobby of the building while her friend stayed outside talking on the phone. There was also a man in the lobby. He said he didn't have an access key to enter the building.
The woman started looking for her keys in her purse. As she was doing that, she dropped her cellphone. She bent down to grab it. As she stood up, police said, the man grabbed her purse and took off. He was last seen heading south on Ouellette.
Police said the man was white with an olive complexion, short brown hair and a medium build. He was about six foot and between 28 and 30 years old.
He was wearing dark blue jeans, a puffy black snow-board style jacket, high-top running shoes with black laces and possibly red socks. He also had "medium-sized stretcher" earring.
Anyone with information about the robbery can call police at (519)-255-6700, ext. 4830, or Crime Stoppers at (519)-258-TIPS (8477).

As the heads of major space agencies gather in this country to discuss the future of the International Space Station, Canada has finally committed itself to remaining involved in the orbiting lab beyond 2015.
Industry Minister Christian Paradis made the announcement Wednesday, with the station's five international partners getting set to discuss the future of the ISS at a group meeting in Quebec City.
The heads of the space agencies will discuss Thursday co-operation in space exploration, the maintenance of the space station, and its potential benefits for humanity.
"With this renewed commitment, we are helping to maintain Canada's leadership in space technology and its everyday critical applications," Mr. Paradis told a news conference. Steve MacLean, head of the Canadian Space Agency, said in an interview that details of the arrangement still have to be negotiated.
Before the announcement, some industry players had been concerned that, unlike its partners, Canada had not signed on for the period until 2020, the end of the current projected lifespan of the station.
"Not having committed to being on the space station for another five years certainly makes our partners wonder whether we will continue to be part of space at all," Iain Christie, president of the Neptec Design Group, had said in an interview beforehand.
"Europeans, Japanese, Americans, everybody else who is part of the space station has said they have renewed their commitments; Canada has not."
Ottawa-based Neptec made the laser-camera system that was used to inspect for damage on the exterior of the recently retired U.S. space shuttles.
Given that a number of industry projects are supported by the Canadian Space Agency's $424.6-million current annual budget, its upcoming decisions carry deep financial implications for space-sector players, like Neptec. The agency, like other federal bodies, is preparing for major budget cuts this year.
Mr. Christie said that while the space agency might have felt there was no rush, people were starting to wonder why the Canadian government was dragging its heels.
"Certainly in the circles that I travel in, it's beginning to really stick out that everybody else re-committed fairly quickly and Canada seems to be taking its own sweet time," he said earlier. Mr. Christie said there are a lot of countries that would have "happily (taken) our place" on the ISS.
Member states of the European Space Agency, after some debate, agreed a year ago, in March 2011, to endorse continued support and financial assistance of the space station until 2020.
Chuck Black, the treasurer of the Canadian Space Commerce Association, had said questions were being raised about why Canada had not signed on until the end of the decade.
"It is going to hold up some of our Canadian advancements, it's going to hold up some of our Canadian science experiments," he said in an earlier interview.
"There's an urgency, especially among businesses which deal in quarterly results and because of that I would really hope things would go faster."
Mr. Black suggested the CSA may have been trying to renegotiate its agreement to get more Canadian astronauts up to the station.
Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield will travel to the ISS for a six-month stay at the end of 2012, but it's not clear when another Canadian will follow. There are no flights – beyond Mr. Hadfield – scheduled for Canadians before the end of the decade.
"I don't think it's reasonable to assume that ... the Canadian Space Agency aren't going to try to renegotiate the agreement so they can get one or two more astronauts up there between now and 2020," Mr. Black said before the announcement.
Mr. Black, who is also a space blogger, is keeping an eye on the upcoming federal budget which is expected to have an impact on spending by all departments. Bureaucrats in every department have been asked to prepare for scenarios under which their budgets would be cut either five or 10 per cent.
"My understanding is that some departments, including the Canadian Space Agency, are going to be cut back (and) there might be concerns there," Mr. Black said.Report Typo/Error

Manifest TechWeek - The Long Now Foundation w/ Alexander Rose
Wednesday, July 27, 2011 from 7:00 PM to 9:30 PM (CDT)
Event Details
Join Manifest Digital on July 27th for Creating the 10,000 Year Clock, with Alexander Rose
July 27th, 7pm - at The Museum of Contemporary Art
As recently covered in Wired, The Long Now Foundation is creating an engineering marvel: a clock that will run for 10,000 years. With the purpose of fostering long-term thinking, this project is being overseen by the Foundation's director, clock designer and clock project manager Alexander Rose, who will present on the creation of the clock.
Clock designer and The Long Now Foundation executive director Alexander Rose will present an overview and update on the project at the Museum of Contemporary Art, 220 E. Chicago Ave. from 7 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. on July 27.
Some people say that they feel the future is slipping away from them. To me, the future is a big tractor-trailer slamming on its brakes in front of me just as I pull into its slip stream. I am about to crash into it. –Danny Hillis
Almost 20 years ago computer scientist Danny Hillis thought up a monument-scale, slow-moving mechanical clock to serve as an icon to long-term thinking, and published the proposition in Wired.
10 years ago a first prototype was completed and put into the Science Museum of London.
5 years ago the full-size clock project began design.
A few months ago that project began construction.
Join us as Manifest Digital hosts The Long Now Foundation executive director and clock manager Alexander Rose for a presentation on the slowest, most iconic monument dedicated to long-term thinking in the world, The Clock of the Long Now.
Alexander Rose will present at the Museum of Contemporary Art, 220 E. Chicago Ave. from 7 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. on July 27. Rose will update attendees on the progress of the clock project, provide insight into The Long Now Foundation's perspective on time and responsibility, and take questions from the audience.
