Get directions to Wabash College Chapel
USS Indianapolis survivors Mike Kruyla, Edgar Harrell, Jim O'Donnell, and Earl Henry Jr., the son of a survivor, will visit the Wabash College campus on Thursday, March 27 for a 7 p.m. presentation sponsored by the Experience Indiana program. The event will be held in the Wabash College Chapel. Admission if is free and the public is cordially invited to attend.Media interviews may be arranged in advance. Please contact Gina Bowman at email@example.com or 765-361-6339 to set up an appointment.While on campus, Kruyla, Harrell, and O'Donnell will give an open lecture about their survival from the sinking of the USS Indianapolis. Jeffrey Nance, the executive vice president of the USS Indianapolis Museum will also take part in the presentation, and will show a brief documentary about the USS Indianapolis before the survivors speak.At 12:14 a.m. on July 30, 1945, the USS Indianapolis, a Portland-class heavy cruiser of the United States Navy, was torpedoed by a Japanese submarine in the Philippine Sea and sank in 12 minutes. Of 1,196 men on board, approximately 300 went down with the ship. The remaining 900 men were left floating in shark-infested waters with no lifeboats and most with no food or water. The ship was never missed, and by the time the survivors were spotted by accident four days later only 316 men were still alive.The USS Indianapolis was commissioned in 1932 and later was sunk by the Japanese submarine I-58 after delivering components of the first atomic bomb "Little Boy" to Tinian Island. President Franklin D. Roosevelt used the Indianapolis as his "Ship of State" many times during the 1930s including a month long trip to South America in 1936 to attend the Good Neighbor Peace Conference. Admiral Raymond Spruance, a 1903 graduate of Shortridge High School in Indianapolis, selected the Indianapolis to be his flagship in command of the Pacific Fifth Fleet. Every major Pacific campaign was planned, executed and monitored from the Indianapolis. The Indianapolis was awarded 10 Battle Stars."On the faithful night of July 30, 1945, I was relieved of my watch just after midnight," said Michael Kuryla. "Because it was so hot, I decided to sleep on the deck where it was cool. That decision probably saved my life… Minutes after midnight two explosions lifted me up into the air. I joined the other men to try and battle the flames, but the ship was too damaged. We began to pass out kapok life jackets as the ship began to list quickly to starboard. It sank in 12 minutes. I was in the water for almost five days. On the final night in the water, I saw searchlights piercing the clouds and was convinced I was going to be rescued. That morning, the USS Register arrived, and I was pulled from the water."In the early 1990s, Kuryla joined forces with a fellow Chicago survivor, Robert McGuiggan, to raise money to build the USS Indianapolis Memorial in downtown Indianapolis. The memorial became a national landmark in 1995.Jeffrey Nance, the Executive Vice President of the Board of Directors of the USS Indianapolis Museum, will present the fascinating 13-year history of the famed heavy cruiser. The presentation will include not only the ship's history, including many Indiana connections, but also an amazing collection of photographs from the period.Nance is a graduate of Indiana University and has held several marketing positions throughout his career. In addition to his volunteer position with the USS Indianapolis Museum, Nance has begun work on a book about the history of the USS Indianapolis.The Experience Indiana program is a portion of the Quality of Life in Indiana Grant, funded through a $1 million grant from Lilly Endowment Inc. The Experience Indiana Speakers and Artists Series sponsor speakers and artists who represent Indiana culture and history.

|Ham hock terrine with a delicate cauliflower pickle
|Szechuan squid rings in panko crumbs with a lime mayonnaise
Starting life as a cafe, The Kitchen at the Galway Museum opened its doors well over a year ago. It's a friendly cafe, quirky, homey and comfortable with a mixture of seating and lounging areas, pulled together by an enormous pretty, patterned rug. The space is airy with high ceilings and some lovely natural light from their glass wall. The outside seating is very popular when the sun shines with it's gorgeous view of Nimmo's and the river by the landmark Spanish Arch. Lunch here has a growing regular clientele for its selection of healthy salad plates, imaginative and great value food. There is good coffee and freshly squeezed juices to order. All breads and bakes are displayed on the counter among a colorful array of bric-a-brac and cookbooks, perfect for a quiet afternoon coffee and cake treat. The weekend brunch is also gaining a following - bacon and eggs, stacks of thick syrupy pancakes with Colleran's bacon or the near legendary (in our house anyway) chorizo hash. Popular as well with Galwegian parents, with ample room to park a buggy.
|Stuffed pesto chicken and quinoa
After more than a year of going from strength to strength, they are now opened for dinner as well. The evening menu, like the daytime one, is changed according to what looks good from their local suppliers. You can get a heads-up on Facebook if you don't like surprises, as they more often than not post the menu ahead of service. If you embrace the unexpected you will be rewarded. I have seen such delights as a shoulder of pork, slow cooked overnight in smokey Mexican spices; succulent meatloaf with a tomato sauce and thyme-roasted baby potatoes; crisp filo tart with blue cheese and bacon. Whatever it is, you're unlikely to fail to see something on the menu that catches your imagination.
|Preserved lemon roasted pork belly
Aoife Qualter, manager and one of the most photogenic women in the city, showed us to our table when we went last week. There's something for everyone on the drinks list with a short wine list and beers from Galway Hooker, O'Haras, Eight Degrees and the Stonewall Cider. Starters were, after extensively talking it through with the friendly chap who served us very attentively for the evening, a very flavourful ham hock terrine with a delicate cauliflower pickle and a slate full of Szechuan squid rings in panko crumbs with a lime mayonnaise, crispy and perfectly cooked. All the starters sounded so good that I debated with myself whether to have a second starter of brown sugar roast peach & rye field goats cheese salad with a sprinkle of dukka instead of a main but greed took over as it always seems to do. Preserved lemon roasted pork belly won out in the end and was delicious - it came with potatoes, green beens and a very good spiced plum relish.
|Chocolate mousse cake with orange cream and candied walnuts
Gluten free and diabetic are well catered for at The Kitchen with vegetarians doing particularly well here. I have been sending vegetarians there for about a year now. Even though I don't know what they will have for them, I do know it will be better than the goat cheese tart or pasta and veg on offer in a lot of restaurants. The night we were there it was spinach gnocchi with wild mushrooms, parmesan and truffle salt. You lucky vegetarians!
|Lemon posset with almond shortbread biscuits
While the restaurant industry remains heavily male-dominated, one thing for sure about Galway is that if there is a trend, it is more than likely to be bucked here. Having a history of female success stories from Martine's and Goya's from way before the Celtic tiger drew it's first breath, to Kai and Ard Bia. Michelle and Aoife prove there's nothing in the industry that either gender can't do. And these girls do it very well indeed.

The young victim of the Boston Marathon bombings is being remembered as a vivacious boy who loved to run and climb.
Eight-year-old Martin Richard was among the three people killed in the explosions Monday. That's according to a person who talked to a friend of the family and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity. His mother and sister were badly injured.
A candle burned on the stoop of the family's single-family home in the city's Dorchester section Tuesday, and the word "Peace" was written in chalk on the front walkway.
Neighbor Betty Delorey says Martin loved to climb the neighborhood trees, and hop the fence outside his home.
The children's father, Bill, is the director of a local community group. The boy's mother, Denise, works at the Neighborhood House Charter School, where her children attend classes.

Review: Apple iPod classic (80GB/160GB)
Company: Apple Computer
Website: www.Apple.com
Model: iPod classic
Price: $249 (80GB), $349 (160GB)
Compatible: PC/Mac
Pros: A superior update to Apple's 2005 and 2006 hard-disk based iPods, featuring cleaner audio, crisper video, better storage capacity and greater than promised battery performance at last year's prices. Available in silver or black versions, each featuring an enhanced user interface that's visually more interesting than its predecessor, and with better built-in games. Offers industry-leading 80GB and 160GB hard disk technologies in enclosures that are slimmer than ever before.
Cons: No longer Apple's "best iPod ever;" outdated 2.5" screen and interface are now steps behind Apple's best devices in ease-of-use and quality of overall media playback experience, while new interface struggles to match iPhone/iPod touch features without approaching their elegance. For photo and video output, no longer compatible with majority of video-out accessories, including portable video displays, released for the color 4G and 5G iPods, requiring new and more expensive replacement accessories; past accessories with on-iPod display features will exhibit reduced functionality, as well. Past iPod games won't play on iPod classic.
Whether you call it the sixth-generation iPod or by its new name, iPod classic, the concept behind Apple's latest hard disk-based iPod is the same as its predecessor, the "iPod (with video)"—offer a pocket-sized audio, video, and game player with large storage capacity options at industry-leading prices. In fact, iterative tweaks aside, iPod classic is an almost identical product to the enhanced fifth-generation iPod it replaces; the changes are supposed to make it even more appealing to last year's holdouts.
Consequently, there is a lot to like about the iPod classic. More power efficient than its predecessors and equipped with an 80GB ($249) or 160GB ($349) hard disk, it unquestionably delivers markedly superior value for the dollar than what it replaces. The scratch-attractive black and white plastic of prior full-sized iPods has now given way to a mostly metal silver and white or black front shell. And there's even a new user interface that takes cues from several other Apple products.
But is the iPod classic a smarter purchase today than its predecessors were in 2005 and 2006? And what about its incompatibility with a number of past accessories released for iPods, most notably including video devices? We'll answer these questions and many more in our full review, below.

Hi everybody,
thank you very much for adding me to this group. I'm not a cavalier owner, not anymore. Out little girl left us 6 weeks ago this Sunday. She was nearly 21 months old, ruby cavalier. The sweetest thing on the planet. Her death was such a shock to us as she was playing with us outside and the she was taken from us few minutes later. I don't think that I will ever get over this.
She was a healthy, funny, cute dog. Best friend to us and to our daughters. She was watching my kids and always wanted to be a part of their play. And she was a baby to me.
First seizure came in May. Doctor at the ER was pretty sure it was an epileptic one. Some other vets weren't so sure about that. The second came in june and I still didn't know for sure what is this. I was told by neurologist about cavaliers and their problems and we decided to do MRI along with the fluid test. The result was Arnold Chiari malformation and SM. We were so upset. Neurologist gave us medication to control her seizures and some for lowering the amount of the fluid. She was doing much better and then in July 21 another seizure came. I gave her valium and the we lost her few minutes after that. I'm not sure if it was still at home, or in my arms while carrying her to the car, or on the way to to clinic. It's honestly too blurry. Doctors then said, that this wasn't probably SM, what took her life, but It could be as well. We don't know.
My past 6 weeks are full of pain, guilt, depression and I honestly don't know how I'm going to live without her and will be always wondering what took her from us. I'm blaming myself for not knowing, not acting quicker, for vets not to be able to find what is going on with her. My husband and I were in such a shock, that we didn't think about an autopsy or anything else and took her home with us.

Revision as of 23:00, 31 May 2009
SoC2009 Dev Ghosh
Hugin creates wide-angle photo panoramas taken from a single camera position, one of the most popular applications of stitching software. However, when viewing a flat object such as a painting, photographs taken from different, casually chosen viewpoints must be combined to create a large high-resolution image mosaic. But Hugin can't assemble photo mosaics of large flat objects photographed from many different camera locations. While tweaking Hugin's settings can provide an approximate result, the underlying Panotools imaging model does not include a projective homography integrated with lens distortion correction. The optimize-able imaging parameters are unable to fully rectify and align the tiles of a mosaic image. This results in mosaics with warped edges and significant distortions. The process requires awkward user interactions as shown in [1], a tutorial by Joachim Fenkes titled "Creating linear panoramas with Hugin." Fenkes uses horizontal image features such as utility boxes aligned at the same height along the graffiti covered wall to straighten the snaking panorama. I propose to add a new "mosaic mode" to Panotools. This will introduce a new image model based on multiple centers of projection to generate high-resolution, distortion-free images of flat objects captured with either handheld or tripod-mounted cameras.
[1] http://www.dojoe.net/tutorials/linear-pano/
Users of Hugin have developed methods for stitching 2D scanned objects and stitching linear panoramas. For best results, these methods rely on matching line constraints (control points of type horizontal or vertical line). But on images lacking clear horizontal or vertical features, when only manually placed or SIFT-generated control points are available, such approaches result in poorly aligned mosaics.
The Panotools imaging model optimizes eight parameters to correct lens distortion and geometric alignment. However, this model is unable to describe warps between overlapping images of a planar object taken from different viewpoints. While leaving the existing lens distortion parameters in place, I propose to develop an extended geometric model describing the relationship between a orthographic view of a planar object with a perspective view of a subsection of the object. This model will be optimized using the existing Levenberg-Marquardt optimizer. The optimized parameters will allow us to project each view of a subsection of the object as if it were viewed with a large, high-resolution, orthographic camera or with a perspective camera from a distance sufficient to view the whole. This approach will also allow views of the object taken from low angles to be projected and mapped to the orthographic view.
Performance Measures
The new geometric model will be tested on synthetic image data and overlapping views of a large painting in the collections at the Art Institute of Chicago. The results will be compared to those obtained using Panotools's current model by average and worst control point distance and by image differencing in overlap regions.
Project Timeline
I plan to spend at least 40 hours a week dedicated to this project. I have already begun to explore and make modifications to the source code. This head start will allow me to work through the months of April and May and continue through the end of Summer of Code. These are the steps I plan to take:
• Study current model for projection of images in libpano13 (prior to May 23)
• Research existing models for viewing images photographed from different viewpoints including "Gold Standard" Direct Linear Transform algorithm and Szeliski's Image Alignment and Stitching: A Tutorial (prior to May 23)
• Develop geometric model for viewing of mosaic (two weeks)
• Implement new model in Panotools (five weeks)
• Test model on synthetic and real image data sets (two weeks)
• Evaluate performance by comparing alignment attempts with existing model (in average control point error) (two weeks)
• Wrap up and complete documentation (one week)
• Documentation describing geometric model
• A library implementing the model
• Results of tests of library
• Fully-commented source code
I have been experimenting with Hugin since Summer 2008 and started to build my own version and modify the source code in December 2008. I built Hugin both on Windows and on Linux under Ubuntu. My interest is in using Hugin to assemble large, high-resolution mosaics of paintings photographed from different viewpoints with 50% or more overlap.
I am a PhD candidate in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois. I have coding experience in Python, C/C++, and MATLAB. My background is in video, signal, and image processing and my previous projects have included making improvements to the Joint Scalable Video Model, a scalable version of the H.264 video codec written in C++. I enjoy taking pictures and solving problems and participating in Google's Summer of Code will allow me to work solely on this project over the summer without other distractions.

Below, we see a top view of the planar object we wish to image. The circle represents the panosphere and the triangles represent the viewing frusta of two cameras. We wish to project points on the planar object, (p(x,y)), as viewed from Physical Camera 2 to a virtual Anchor Camera, coincident with Physical Camera 1. To do this, we must

In theory, I think I could get to around 80 seconds on the 4x4s and maybe 120 on the 4x5s. On puzzles where the lower grids aren't necessary and I instantly identify the right order to address the clues.
I still have to learn when filling red Xs isn't necessary, though. It's possible that's the key to lower scores.
I'd be interested in knowing how the people suspected of cheating are doing, now that the preview information is gone.
Same here Stephen. I just solved a puzzle and wondered why the grid wasn't displayed prior to loading -- I've found it rather helpful because I create a table in Word to track my answers. However, I can see how displaying a grid beforehand can make cheating possible.
My times have gone down considerably now that I've been playing more often. I've even had some under 3 minutes. But under 20 seconds is just too astounding to be believed. You can't even read all the clues and fill in the grid that quickly.
I'd like to add my thanks to all the others -- you do a great job.
new 5x5 under 60 seconds
There are still some real low scores for 5x5
this is a "new" ID - Spirit Bear have not seen this person before
This Puzzle's Statistics
Success Rate: 53%
Average Time: 656.6 seconds
Record Time: 34 seconds (spirit bear)
Your Time: 539 seconds
That will be the case for perhaps another week or two - we are gradually re-figuring statistics on all of our puzzles using the new criteria. To avoid heavy server loads while re-processing we are re-figuring 60 puzzles per hour. My guess it we will get through the whole of them in another 4-5 days or so, after which time the "false-records" should be all purged.
Fast Solution
Steps According to me for fast solution.
Once the puzzle come on the screen do print screen and come out of the puzzle screen it will stop the puzzle and put it in incomplete state.
From the print screen get the puzzle and solve it offline get ready with your answers and try to complete the puzzle and you only have to click correct entries.
And you will get decent fast time for the same.
I have seen patterns in the games. They are computer generated and only the lists of words change. So if someone has a great mind for patterns, or has written a program that can recognize the pattern after a few right answers it is possible to get those super fast solves. I do this for fun, there is no money involved, and is just for fun and bragging rights, I try to just have fun with the games and ignore the high scores. I will admit though, sometimes when I know I have solved it at a pretty fast time without using pattern recognition, it can be frustrating.
Happy gaming. Peace out,
I think that basically what is happening is that people have found a way to retrieve the clues and other information about their next puzzle without actually loading the puzzle. The puzzle you will play next is determined when you click "New Game," but the timer doesn't start until you click "Start Game," (I assume) so it's possible (I won't go into much detail here) that once you know the URL of the next puzzle you can use it to retrieve all of the information about the puzzle without starting the timer. You can then solve the puzzle at your leisure and once you have the solution you can allow the page to load. Then all you have to do is put in the answers which should take around the amount of time that most of these suspicious solves are taking.
The fundamental problem here is that the puzzles are pre-loaded. This is done as a convenience for the players so we can see information about the puzzle and so that when we're ready to start solving we don't have to wait as long. The pre-loading could be done away with, clicking "New Game" could throw us straight into a random puzzle, but the timer has to start when the page is loaded to avoid foil another much simpler method of cheating, and then we would have to wait for the entire puzzle to load while the timer was running which would probably add between 10-20 seconds to everyone's solve times.
Here's my solution to cheating: Do way with pre-loading the puzzles, just throw the player into a random puzzle as soon as they click "New Game." Start the timer as soon as they click "New Game" too. Now, to make up for the added time of waiting for the puzzle to load, have a second timer that starts when you click "New Game" and stops when the puzzle has fully loaded. When the player is done, subtract the value of the second timer from the total value of the first timer to get an accurate time.
At this point though I don't think that the cheating is bad enough that it's necessary to go this far.

I used to see the scores under 100 seconds and thought it was impossible or people cheating.
I have learned to do the puzzles using only the top rows and I have, on more than one occasion, completed puzzles in the area of 55-59 seconds.
There is always someone better out there, I'm going to assume that the 30 second scores are legit.
Okay, I didn't read all the posts....
14 seconds, that's gotta be impossible
I have never cheated or used a spreadsheet on a logic puzzle....I really bums me out if all of my record times will be cleared
The record time cut off should be somewhere around 45 seconds at least. Why am I being penalized for being speedy???
I could never make myself cheat on these - it completely defeats the purpose. But I have on 2 occasions solved a puzzle in under 40 seconds. I was astounded both times, but sometimes the clues are just laid out in a way that makes perfect sense. For those puzzles, there's often a lot of extra clues with duplicate information. Sometimes the 4x4 puzzles only need 3-4 clues to solve, but they might give you 6-7. There's still lots of people faster than me out there.

TOKYO -- Nissan Motor Co. is off to the stock car races. In Australia, at least.
This month, the Japanese carmaker said it will field four cars in the county's V8 Supercar Championship starting in 2013.
For those not familiar with the series, it's Down Under's equivalent to NASCAR. And until Nissan's gambit, the competition has been dominated by only two vehicles, the Ford Falcon and Holden Commodore from General Motors.
Nissan's move is reminiscent of Toyota's decision in 2006 to join NASCAR. That bid aimed to underscore Toyota's U.S. manufacturing roots and ingratiate the Japanese brand with a skeptical customer base in the American heartland.
"We are targeting No.1 importer status in Australia and already making progress towards that as one of the country's fastest growing brands. V8 Supercars will boost that momentum," Nissan Australia CEO Dan Thompson said in a statement of Nissan's intentions.
Nissan hasn't disclosed what body the Nissan race car will get. Nissan Australia spokesman Jeffrey Fisher will only say it will be a four-door sedan that will feature in Nissan's local lineup within the next two years.
Right now, Nissan offers only one sedan -- the Maxima -- Down Under.
In NASCAR, Toyota competes with a Camry shell.
Could Nissan be pondering a similar racing debut in NASCAR to boost brand recognition in the United States, its second-biggest market and region where CEO Carlos Ghosn is chasing 10 percent market share? Don't bet on it.
Says spokesman Chris Keeffe: "At the present time, Nissan does not have the intention of joining NASCAR/stock car racing."

"I bought my car based on what I could fit into it," Cynthia Knott said recently at her Springs studio, gesturing at her all-terrain vehicle. "That way I can go on the beach and get out of the way of hurricanes."
All the canvases hanging in the modest workspace behind her house — about 10 in all that have been shipped to the DC Moore Gallery in Chelsea — were started on location at one beach or another in the last nine months and represent a whole new body of work. Ms. Knott figured out a way to put the canvases in her car, even when, at 7 by 4 feet, her reach would certainly exceed her grasp. In addition to the large paintings, she had done about 34 works on paper, seascapes done in watercolor and pastels, the drawing done with paint sticks.
The term Luminist, used to refer to late-19th-century painters who were influenced by the Hudson River School, was apparently not coined until 1954. In Luminist paintings, brushstrokes are hidden and there is attention to detail as well as the effects of light on landscapes or seascapes — the spiritual significance of luminosity, as exemplified by Martin J. Heade and Frederick E. Church, among others. Ms. Knott's paintings bring to mind some of the work of Newton Haydn Stubbing and J.M.W. Turner.
While she nodded at the reference to Turner, she said that she was also "greatly influenced by Mark Rothko," and by Dan Flavin.
Ms. Knott has become well known in the last 20-plus years for her paintings of the sky, clouds, water, and horizon, which have been exhibited both in solo and group shows all over the United States, including New York City and the South Fork, and as far away as Japan. Her East End gallery is Pamela Williams in Amagansett; DC Moore represents her in Manhattan. She has amassed significant awards, appointments, and lecture invitations, and last year was awarded a Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant.
Growing up in New Jersey, Ms. Knott spent a lot of time with her Irish grandfather, who had arrived in this country as an orphan and whose first job was in Philadelphia, where he was trained by a tailor. He taught her and her sisters to sew on buttons in such a way that they would never come off. "He loved having all seven of his grandkids at once," she said. "He inspired us to tell stories, 'head stories,' which we had to make up on the spot," she recalled.
He also owned a quarry, where he took his grandchildren. He helped Ms. Knott in particular collect minerals and rocks that she would crush, producing pigments that she mixed with baby oil and put into little glass bottles. How could she have known then that much later on she would do something similar with ground pigments, linseed oil, paint, and other materials?
Taking the children to the Jersey Shore, the old man enchanted them with sea stories, always autobiographical, and sang them sea chanteys. "It was important to him that we become characters," she said. "He was the one who got my imagination going."
Ms. Knott at first wanted to study marine biology in college and went to Washington University in St. Louis, but she turned out to be more interested in drawing what she saw under the microscope, and after a semester, she dropped out.
Her parents were not pleased, so, to pay her tuition for night classes at the Boston Museum School, where she earned her B.A., she had to work by day at the Pewter Pot Muffin House and Dunkin' Donuts.
She got her B.F.A. at the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan and worked pulling prints for Robert Blackburn, with whom she had taken a printmaking workshop. Louise Bourgeois taught her gravure.
Ms. Knott felt at home in the city, with "the essence of being in New York City and the energy level, you felt you were more in the mix of the downtown art scene," she said.
After finishing at Visual Arts Ms. Knott studied textile design and, when a friend suggested she try painting directly on fabric, she ended up painting on silk and being sidelined into a whole "fashion thing," as she called it, selling their creations to Halston and having them photographed for Vogue by Vera Wang and Jade Hobson.
"I wanted to paint, and so I painted with hot wax and foam rubber brushes on silk," she said, even saving the newspaper that was used to catch the excess dye under the silk and using it for her first show at a gallery in Lower Manhattan.
Marriage and a move to upstate New York attenuated slightly her gradual move toward being a full-time painter. She and her husband bought a five-acre farm for a song, built a house from scratch, and raised chickens, sheep, and goats. While she was there Ms. Knott took a plein air-painting course at Hudson Community College.
"I started noticing the phenomenon of natural light, which was when I decided: I want to figure out light," she said. After a stint at the Vermont Studio School, she was accepted to the M.F.A. program at New York University and proceeded to commute from the upstate farm to the fifth-floor walkup she had kept in the city.
After Paul Brach gave her a graduate show she was picked up by the Tibor de Nagy gallery, which gave Ms. Knott her first solo show at about the time when her husband decided he wanted to move to the East End, which is how she fetched up in Springs.
"I didn't want to do genre painting," she said. "I looked out at the sea and the horizon line and watched it go by." She studied Cartwright Shoal, on the south tip of Gardiner's Island, and looked at the horizon line "that comes and goes and changes colors," she said. "I prefer the light in Springs; it is buoyant and luminescent."
"The real source of the artist's identity is how you make your marks — the delineation of the horizon line." Ms. Knott underpaints the linen she works on, which has a texture, a nub to it, and which catches the copper pigment. Then she takes the mixture she's made of oil paint, metallic pigments (sometimes gold, silver, or lapis lazuli, as well as copper), heated beeswax, Damar varnish, and linseed oil and layers that onto the surface with a palette knife and then a brush, scraping, in fact, through the paint right down to the linen, before reapplying it. The paste-like substance has the consistency of honey.
Before she underpaints the linen, however, she has already sized or treated it with gesso and a type of glue. The whole thing is a process of many layers, "repeatedly scraped away and reapplied, creating a 'skin of memory,' " she said. The varnish makes the surface hard and the oil paint dries through oxidation and the movement of air over the encaustic, which is why she has fans on all the time in her studio.
The 200-square-foot space, which she is about to quit, has been the birthplace of 10 one-woman shows.
In only one of the paintings in her studio was there no apparent or even subtle horizon line, just light floating above water. Some of her pictures are incandescent and uplifting and others brooding and dark, no doubt varying reflections of her own experience. In the 22 years she has been on the South Fork, she said, "I have gone through a lot of dark times, bright times, and muddled times."
She often gets invited to artists' residencies and goes to the ones that are on water, such as at Fogo Island, a 25-by-14-kilometer island off the east coast of Newfoundland and Labrador. "I get excited to look at something that's atmospheric," she said. She has painted seascapes in Ireland, Scotland, and on the coast of Maine.
Ms. Knott, who has been dubbed a "horizonologist" by her friend Billy Collins, a former U.S. poet laureate, signs her paintings on the back. She doesn't want the letters to interfere with the viewer's grasp of the whole expanse of water, sky, horizon, and light. "The horizon line has become my signature line," she said.

Ow.ly and Ht.ly ~ Choose Bar or Non-bar URL Shortener for HootSuite
Vanilla or Chocolate? Bar or No bar?
Choice is good in just about any situation, and like ice cream, one flavor doesn't fit everyone on the web. With a desire for choice in mind, HootSuite users can now choose between two flavors of links — one with a social bar and one without.
In this character-limited web, URL shorteners are of great importance — for statistics, for branding, or simply for convenience. Ow.ly is used to shrink hundreds of thousands of links daily by users seeking clickthrough statistics and the one-click convenience of shrinking a link in HootSuite.
Two to Choose
The links were/are presented with an opt-out "social bar" which provided options to retweet, share with more networks, add a rating, search Twitter, view other popular ow.ly links, and more.
However, not everyone needs all the extras, so now you have a choice: Ow.ly or Ht.ly (pronounced "hoot-ly").
So, next time you login to HootSuite, you can choose which shortener you prefer — Ow.ly, which from today onward will have no social bar, or Ht.ly, which will have the social bar.
Whichever link shrinker you choose will become your default for all links you shorten in HootSuite, including links created with the one-click Hootlet tool.
Full Loaded Ht.ly
Ht.ly includes the social bar — a favorite tool of many marketing-minded HootSuite users who enjoy the benefits of amplifying their messages across networks. On-board tools include easy Re-Tweets, instant links ratings, and quick access to submit links to Digg, Reddit, Delicious, Facebook, etc. to increase measurable reach. Plus, the social bar includes a handy Twitter search box to help users continue exploring. The social bar has an opt-out close box as well, so the end-user has a choice to forego the social bar if they wish.
Lightweight Ow.ly
Ow.ly is the choice if you just need the basics — a short link and clickthrough stats — no marketing tools, simply a fully redirected URL without a frame.
Custom Link Shrinker
Up next, HootSuite will be adding the Ow.ly/Pro service to provide custom URL shorteners for businesses who purchase "vanity" URLs. Signup to be among the first to know about Ow.ly Pro.
These URLs can reflect company branding through creative domain names like many major web brands. For example, Twitter recently announced the addition of a custom URL shortener twt.tl, Google also uses a custom goo.gl (from Greenland) which also creates QR codes, WordPress uses wp.me, and Facebook uses fb.me (.me URLS are from Montenegro).
The URL shortening trend has created an interesting business opportunity for domain name providers who market the two-character codes from far-flung countries — examples: .im Isle of Mann, .tv Tuvalu, .fm Federated States of Micronesia, and .ly Libya — to companies seeking memorable and short branded domain names.
Fast, Reliable & Safe
Ow.ly is among the top 5 most used URL shorteners on the web and rated as a top performer. Technology industry news source, TechCrunch, in a study with Pingdom.com, rated Ow.ly as top choice of URL shorteners:
"When both the reliability and speed rankings are combined, ow.ly and bit.ly tie for first place overall …"
Research bureau Watchmouse keeps real-time status charts for popular URL shorteners and verifies Ow.ly's performance as well as worldwide usage trends.
Further, both Ow.ly and Ht.ly check links against Google's Safe Browsing blacklist to thwart phishing and Malware attacks.
Sprinkles on Top
Both options continue to provide deep click-through statistics, including regional breakdown, custom date ranges, and bot/spider filtering. Both URL shorteners also let you export reports and add custom URL parameters for even deeper analysis.
Also note that using the social bar with Ht.ly doesn't impact your site's SEO because Google and other other search spiders are passed straight through for indexing and ranking.
So which URL Shortener is right for you? Log in and choose — you can always change your mind later in Settings.

As the old saying goes, "Online, content is king." Content is the driving force behind much of online traffic and companies are increasingly managing their content like the strategic and valuable asset that it is.
If online content is king, then digital assets can probably be crowned king of kings. Digital assets refer to non-text-based content, like images, videos, diagrams, audio recordings and graphs.
Internet users have strong preference for clear and concise content that's easy to digest. Combined with the wisdom of another old saying—the one about pictures being worth a thousand words—and it's easy to understand why digital assets are so valuable. They're very effective at clearly, concisely presenting information in a form that's quick and easy to digest. Consumers and customers love digital assets and many companies are using them effectively in their sales, marketing and customer service strategies.
This, of course, requires that the companies manage them effectively. Managing images, video, audio and other types of media is different than managing other kinds of files and content. Companies that deal with media files need a way to manage them so that they're organized, secure, easy to retrieve and centrally available to anyone in the organization.
Digital asset management (DAM) software stores and organizes media files and protects brand assets. It also let users collaborate and distribute files both internally and with people outside the organization. DAM software can provide very advanced functionality, letting companies schedule their asset distribution and manage all stages of a digital asset's lifecycle.
This buyer's guide explains the functionality of DAM software, as well as discuss the benefits and pricing information for this type of software. Here's what we'll cover:
What Is Digital Asset Management Software?
Common DAM Functionality
Benefits of Digital Asset Management Systems
How Is This Software Priced?
Since digital content is a subset of all content, it logically follows that DAM software is a subset of content management software. And, it is. In fact, many content management systems have applications designed to handle digital assets. The difference is that DAM software is specifically designed and purpose-built to manage digital assets and media files. These files include:
Additionally, DAM software stores and organizes files for retrieval through search functions, and allows users to download digital assets in various file formats.
Users can create and manage asset profiles, which can include descriptions, metadata, keywords associated with the file, rights and permissions and information on the creator. Many systems also provide file conversion functionality to download media in the appropriate format.
Sharing files externally with kiteworks
Typically, a DAM system can integrate with other applications, such as a content management system, project management software, enterprise asset management software and tools for media manipulation, such as Photoshop.
The four essential functions of a DAM are to:
The common capabilities of these systems facilitate those four key actions. These applications, modules and features include, but are not limited to:
|Asset uploading
|This function allows users to upload single files, or up to thousands of files in batches. Most systems will also extract metadata during this process, supporting EXIF, XMP and IPTC standards.
|Asset management
|Asset management functionality in a DAM system is comprised of several tools for manipulating digital assets: file conversion, metadata editing, version management and digital rights management. These tools help make assets more secure as well as easier to find and collaborate on.
|A dashboard view can display various information about digital assets: number of assets, views, uploads or downloads and other user activity. Many dashboards also offer notifications and thumbnails of recently added assets.
|Search features help users find content through keywords, file types, upload dates, metadata or by using checkboxes to filter assets.
|Asset sharing
|A DAM can facilitate asset sharing in multiple ways: by email, embed codes, through social media channels, direct download links, a download pickup page with preview thumbnails and more.
Whether you manage digital assets as a photographer, with a public relations agency, in information technology or in some other function, a DAM system offers compelling benefits for efficiency and accuracy:
Increases organization and speed. Since digital assets can be uploaded and tagged with keywords and metadata, and filters can be used for searches, assets are found and distributed more quickly.
Simplifies collaboration and version control. Assets are all stored in the same central location and can be manipulated by multiple people. Users can review, approve or leave comments on assets, and version control keeps everyone working on the most up-to-date instance of an asset.
Protects your brand image. A DAM helps organizations protect assets with watermarking and copyright embedding. It also allows users to create press kits and digital images with embargo dates.
DAM software has pricing models that are comparable to other types of content management software. Generally speaking, it can be purchased either through a subscription plan or with a perpetual license fee.
|A monthly or annual fee is charged to use the system, typically based on the number of users who need access. Maintenance and updates are typically included; support and training may be an additional fee.
|Perpetual license fee

Lighting The Fire: MSD Ignition UpgradePosted in How To on July 1, 2013
It never fails to amaze us how our project trucks somehow manage to break down at the most inopportune times. One moment everything's great as we're plugging along down the highway and the next moment we're on the side of the highway under the hood, trying to diagnose why it stalled and won't fire.
After trailering our 460ci V-8 Bronco back home, we figured out that our newly purchased auto parts store distributor had lost more than a few teeth after the gear developed severe knifing with only 50 miles of driving. Searching a few online forums told us that we were not the first to have problems with cheaper parts store replacement distributors in Fords.
Not ones to let parts failure stop us, we ordered up a new Pro-Billet Distributor for our 460ci V-8, as well as an MSD 6AL ignition box, a Blaster SS ignition coil, and 8.5mm Super Conductor spark plug wires. The cool thing about the Pro-Billet Distributor is that you can change timing advance curves by swapping the counter weight springs that are easily accessible once the distributor rotor is removed. The part that really has us grinning is that not only does the MSD 6AL box feature multiple capacitive discharge, it also has a built-in rev limiter.
While we couldn't wait to bolt on all our new ignition goodies, we made sure to first drop the oil pan to clean up any possible metal shavings from the broken distributor teeth. Installation was fairly easy. To be honest, we probably spent more time cutting out a mounting bracket for the 6AL box and building the 8.5mm Super Conductor spark cables than actually installing our new Pro-Billet Distributor, MSD 6AL ignition box, and Blaster SS ignition coil.
After installation, we noticed how easily our Bronco would start as well as how smooth it idled compared to our old stock ignition system. Once we cracked open the throttle, we realized how much better the MSD ignition system is. Wide-open throttle pulls are now faster and consistent. The best part is we no longer suffer from any ignition hiccups that result in unburned fuel—a good thing since gas isn't cheap with a big-block!

Southeast AsiaStatements By Members
2 p.m.
Andrew Saxton Conservative North Vancouver, BC
Mr. Speaker, I recently had the privilege and honour to be a member of the Canadian delegation accompanying His Excellency the Right Hon. David Johnston, Governor General of Canada, on his state visits to Malaysia, Vietnam and Singapore.
Our three nation tour of Southeast Asia was a valuable opportunity for Canada to enhance our relationships in an increasingly important region of the world. Engaging in what the Governor General referred to as the "diplomacy of knowledge", our trip promoted Canada as a premier destination for international students, many of whom will return to their home countries as unofficial ambassadors to promote Canada.
Southeast Asia represents a valuable opportunity for us. It is imperative that we continue to cultivate a closer relationship with countries in the region. Canada could benefit greatly by increasing trade and commerce throughout Southeast Asia. In this time of global economic uncertainty, it is our government's main priority to grow the economy and create jobs.
We will continue to build bridges and promote Canada with our international partners in order to promote mutual understanding and prosperity.
Dean HeywoodStatements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Peter Stoffer NDP Sackville—Eastern Shore, NS
Mr. Speaker, it is with sadness that I rise today to mention to the House of Commons the passing of a great Canadian, Mr. Dean Heywood, a long-time CBC parliamentary TV cameraman. From Meech Lake to Afghanistan and points in-between, Dean covered the most important stories of the day. He was always the one to get the shot and the picture that others wish they had landed.
As long-time friend and colleague, Ms. Julie Van Dusen, used to say, he always got the shot and knew the story inside and out. He loved his job and he liked living on the edge. His friends also said that he was a bit of a crusty fellow but that at the mention of his family he turned into a big marshmallow.
On behalf of the House of Commons, for his wife, Cheryl, his children, Chris, Jasmin and Duncan, and his entire CBC family, we say God bless the memory of Mr. Dean Heywood, a truly great Canadian.
Diamond Jubilee MedalStatements By Members

Blake Richards Conservative Wild Rose, AB
Mr. Speaker, Canadians who have distinguished themselves in service to others are being awarded Diamond Jubilee Medals in this, the 60th year of Queen Elizabeth II's reign.
I have invited residents of my Wild Rose constituency to nominate candidates for this honour. Today I am proud to recognize two constituents who have already received these medals.
Dr. David Chalack received his medal this month from the Governor General. A veterinarian who lives in Cochrane, he is the past president of the Calgary Stampede and well-known for his dedication to animal care. He was inducted into the Canadian Agriculture Hall of Fame in November.
Harvey Shevalier was honoured by Alberta Lieutenant-Governor Donald Ethell for his service to veterans. He served in our military and has more than 40 years of service with the Royal Canadian Legion as Alberta/ NWT Command president and president of the Sundre Legion.
I look forward to recognizing many more deserving residents of Wild Rose through the Diamond Jubilee Medal program.
Multiple SclerosisStatements By Members

Kirsty Duncan Liberal Etobicoke North, ON
Mr. Speaker, 55,000 to 75,000 Canadians live with devastating MS. Tonight, all members will have the opportunity to vote their conscience, to do the right thing and to vote to develop a national strategy for CCSVI.
Sixty countries have undertaken 30,000 procedures, while Canada has failed to even begin clinical trials and failed to even begin collecting data, while 800 Canadians succumbed to MS.
North America's top doctors who diagnose and treat CCSVI, Drs. Hubbard, McDonald, Sclafani, Siskin, et cetera, support Bill C-280, as does Dr. Shannon, former deputy surgeon general, who lived through the restructuring of the Canadian blood system. He considers "the lack of definitive action on the part of governments, government agencies such as the CIHR and NGOs...extremely disappointing".
Colleagues, as those living with MS say, "you know what the right thing is to do, do the right thing".
EntrepreneursStatements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Chungsen Leung Conservative Willowdale, ON
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to share my appreciation for having had the honour to attend the annual gala of the Canada-Armenia Business Council that took place last Saturday, February 25. The gala truly showcased the spirit of entrepreneurship in Canada.
It is clear that entrepreneurs have the exceptional ability to turn ideas into solid companies and business ventures. They are able to grow by taking risks and by being innovative. There is no limit to what Canadian entrepreneurs can accomplish in today's global marketplace, and now is the time to work together to create a business environment where entrepreneurs can thrive.
Entrepreneurs create jobs and are an integral part of Canada's economy. Our government understands that the economic recovery is encouraged by the private sector and we have and will continue to work with entrepreneurs to make it easier for them to invest and create jobs.
We understand how important it is that the ambition and desire of Canada's entrepreneurs be fostered so that success can be achieved on a global scale. Our future generations will benefit from the consistent and exceptional growth in jobs and revenue that are the direct result of small businesses.
La FrancophonieStatements By Members

Robert Aubin NDP Trois-Rivières, QC
Mr. Speaker, 2012 has one extra day. In a non-leap year, today would be the first day of March, which is the month during which we celebrate la Francophonie. That being said, Mr. Speaker, it is never too soon to celebrate with the 200 million French speakers and the 870 million citizens of the 70 states and governments that are members of the International Organization of La Francophonie. I want to celebrate all francophones and francophiles and everyone who is learning French and discovering a rich, universal culture. I would also like to salute the Auditor General and the Supreme Court justice who, like millions of young students around the world, are spending time learning the language of Molière.
French is not a dead language. French is alive because we live in French in our communities, schools and workplaces. That is why NDP members from across Canada support the bill that recognizes the use of French in Quebec companies governed by federal regulations. Not only will this bill guarantee the rights of Quebec's francophone majority, but it will also enhance the vitality of Canada's Francophonie.
Enjoy the celebration, and long live la Francophonie.
Leap DayStatements By Members

Peter Braid Conservative Kitchener—Waterloo, ON
Mr. Speaker, once again a person in my riding of Kitchener—Waterloo is using innovation, in this case to heighten social awareness. Today is leap day, and Madi MacIntyre, a student at Sir John A. Macdonald Secondary School in Waterloo, is asking people to put this extra day to good use. She is the inspiration behind 29Leaps, a social media campaign to motivate us to reach out to others with 29 acts of kindness or charity.
Waterloo region has leapt on this idea and momentum is spreading around the world. Over 200,000 individual acts of generosity have been registered on the 29leaps.com website from people all over the world.
I congratulate Madi for showing that everyone has the power to make a positive difference in the world, one step or one leap at a time. With creative young leaders like Madi, the future of Canada looks very bright.
Foreign AffairsStatements By Members

Russ Hiebert Conservative South Surrey—White Rock—Cloverdale, BC
Mr. Speaker, it was 20 years ago this week that a most brutal incident in a tragic war took place.
Canada remembers the Khojaly massacre where hundreds of civilians were gunned down by Armenian forces as they fled their hometown in Azerbaijan. According to the Government of Azerbaijan, the death toll was 613 civilians, including 106 women and 83 children. The massacre was one of many atrocities each side was alleged to have committed during the Nagorno-Karabakh war. The war killed over 30,000 soldiers and civilians and displaced more than one million people.
While the displaced have been resettled, 20 years later the Nagorno-Karabakh region is still occupied by Armenia. The border region remains a place of scattered but deadly clashes.
However, there is hope for a peaceful settlement in this long-running conflict. Armenia and Azerbaijan are talking to each other and we encourage them to resolve this dispute at the negotiating table.
Daniel St-PierreStatements By Members
2:10 p.m.
François Lapointe NDP Montmagny—L'Islet—Kamouraska—Rivière-du-Loup, QC
Mr. Speaker, Daniel St-Pierre passed away on February 2, 2012, at the age of 63, after a devastating battle with cancer. He will be sadly missed by his wife, his brothers and sisters, everyone in his extended family, his friends and colleagues, and the thousands of people who rubbed shoulders with him in the course of his many social commitments.
I would be remiss if I did not rise here in the House to commend Mr. St-Pierre's years of work with co-operatives like the Horisol workers' co-operative, the thousands of hours he put in as chair of organizations like the Fondation-Jeunesse de la Côte-Sud, as well as his invaluable contribution as a Saint-Jean-Port-Joli municipal councillor and as mayor of Saint-Aubert.
The legislative efforts of major democracies would basically be meaningless without people like Mr. St-Pierre who give themselves fully to civil society. So, in defiance of this loathsome killer, which seems intent on taking our best and brightest before their time, Mr. St-Pierre will forever be remembered fondly by the thousands of people who knew him simply as Dan.
I would like to offer my sincere condolences to Michelle Séguin and take this opportunity to say here in the House: Dan, thanks a million.
2012 Scotties Tournament of HeartsStatements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Laurie Hawn Conservative Edmonton Centre, AB
Mr. Speaker, first, I want to wish a happy birthday to all the leapers.
I rise today to congratulate Team Alberta on its victory this past week in the 2012 Scotties Tournament of Hearts, the Canadian Women's Curling Championships in Red Deer, Alberta.
Skip, Heather Nedohin, whose home rink is located in Edmonton; teammates, Beth Iskiw, Jessica Mair, Laine Peters, Amy Nixon; and coach Darryl Horne deserve all the accolades for a truly historic win.
Team Alberta's win marks the end of a 14 year drought of Alberta victories at the Tournament of Hearts. After a difficult start, members of Team Alberta proved themselves game after game. Their resolve, poise and focus in the final match ensured they held onto a victory.
This makes me truly proud to be an Albertan and the win is reflective of our western spirit. We aim to win and we keep going until we do.
We wish them the best of luck at the upcoming Ford World Women's Curling Championship in Lethbridge. There, not only will Edmonton and Alberta be able to cheer them on, but the whole country will be able to root for them as Team Canada. Hurry hard!
First NationsStatements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Mylène Freeman NDP Argenteuil—Papineau—Mirabel, QC
Mr. Speaker, last week, the hon. member for Edmonton—Strathcona and I attended the Assembly of First Nations National Justice Forum and witnessed the first nations' commitment to reconciling with the past and moving forward.
Last week, in Geneva, Canada was assessed by the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, where the first nations testified about the systemic discrimination they experience. Soon, the UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women will assess Canada and launch an independent investigation into the hundreds of cases of missing or murdered aboriginal women in Canada.
I am calling on the government to co-operate fully in the investigation. The entire world will be watching Canada's actions. Aboriginal women are asking for our help, and all the hon. members of the House have a duty to act in support of the first nations in order to restore justice. As Shawn Atleo, chief of the Assembly of First Nations, said:
The time for study is over. The time for action is upon us.
Oil and Gas IndustryStatements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Dean Del Mastro Conservative Peterborough, ON
Mr. Speaker, the second largest industry in Ontario is oil and gas and it is growing. Indeed, Ontario's manufacturing sector has, in part, Canada's oil sands to thank for many of its jobs.
Just last month, the Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters said that energy and resource development across Canada offers billions of dollars in new opportunities for Canadian manufacturers, technology, logistics and other service suppliers. As the province has the most manufacturing jobs, this is tremendous news for the province of Ontario. The oil sands create hundreds of thousands of direct and indirect jobs, jobs induced across Canada, many of them right here in the great province of Ontario.
Canada's emergence as a clean energy superpower is great for Ontario. It is great for Ontario's manufacturing jobs. As a country, we will continue to diversify our trading relationships and build jobs right here in Ontario.
Pink Shirt DayStatements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Hedy Fry Liberal Vancouver Centre, BC
Mr. Speaker, the Liberal caucus is wearing pink in solidarity with all who celebrate Pink Shirt Day in British Columbia today, and were it not prohibited by you, Mr. Speaker, we would be flash mob dancing in the aisle on YouTube with hundreds of kids of all ages from greater Vancouver schools to Lady Gaga's Born This Way.
While April 11 is International Day of Pink, Premier Christy Clark, when she was a CKNW radio host, chose the last day of February to launch a successful B.C. pink shirt campaign to combat bullying, homophobia and transphobia. Pink Shirt Day began in Nova Scotia after a young man was bullied for wearing a pink shirt. His fellow students, in solidarity, bought 50 pink shirts to wear to school. It was a potent act of peaceful defiance and activism.
This morning, hundreds of volunteers hit the streets in Vancouver to raise awareness, sell buttons and promote Pink Shirt Day. At the event was Premier Clark, radio CKNW, the Boys and Girls Club. Gay and transbullying occurs in schools—

Veterans AffairsStatements By Members

Eve Adams Conservative Mississauga—Brampton South, ON
Mr. Speaker, our Conservative government is working hard to ensure that our veterans have access to the benefits and services they deserve more quickly and with fewer roadblocks. That is why just last week the Minister of Veterans Affairs announced the reducing red tape initiative for our veterans. The changes made as part of this initiative will create a more hassle-free system. They will reduced bureaucratic roadblocks while improving service delivery.
We have started modernizing our systems so that veterans can contact us electronically, have implemented direct deposit options to ensure that money flows more quickly and more easily into veterans' accounts, and have revamped decision letters to ensure that information is communicated in a clear and consistent manner. This is just the beginning. Cutting red tape is one more way in which our Conservative government is standing up and delivering for Canada's veterans.
Conservative PartyStatements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Francine Raynault NDP Joliette, QC
Mr. Speaker, I searched high and low but was unable to find Pierre Poutine of Separatist Street in Joliette. What I did find were angry Quebeckers who now know two things: that the Conservatives will stop at nothing to mislead voters and that, given the opportunity, they will use humiliating and offensive stereotypes about Quebeckers.
Why are the Conservative members from Quebec not outraged? Where is the apology to the people of Joliette?
It seems that the Conservatives woke up one morning and were unable to decide whether to break the law or insult Quebeckers, and so they said to themselves, "You know what? Let's do both."
The people of Joliette deserve better. That is why they said "no" to scandals and the divisive politics of the past. That is why they said "yes" to the NDP team, because the NDP does things differently and represents Quebeckers with respect. We are firmly committed to defeating these Conservatives, who are mired in scandal, and that is exactly what we are going to do in 2015.
New Democratic Party of CanadaStatements By Members
2:20 p.m.
Robert Goguen Conservative Moncton—Riverview—Dieppe, NB
Mr. Speaker, the NDP has started talking about harsher penalties for people who attack transit workers. Unfortunately, far too often the NDP's position on victims is usually to blame and attack them, as do the members for Winnipeg Centre and Gatineau.
It is unfortunate that the soft on crime NDP do not stand up for victims and have voted against victims several times. For example, the soft on crime NDP voted against the elimination of the faint hope clause for murderers and opposes the safe streets and communities act, which would give a greater voice to victims in our justice system. In fact, the NDP wants to silence victims. Amazingly, the NDP recently urged a well-known victims' advocate to stop speaking about Canada's justice system.
Our government will keep bringing forward legislation that gives victims a voice and keeps our streets and communities safe.
Instead of pretending to support victims, the NDP should step up and start supporting victims.

Nycole Turmel NDPLeader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, yesterday on CBC the Prime Minister's parliamentary secretary said that the Conservative party was investigating the allegations of election fraud. An hour later, on Sun TV, he said that the Conservatives were not conducting an investigation. Could the Prime Minister tell us which it is? Are the Conservatives investigating, yes or no?

Stephen Harper ConservativePrime Minister
Mr. Speaker, the Conservative Party has made available, from the beginning, all information to Elections Canada. The Conservative party can say absolutely definitively that it has no role in any of this.
The hon. leader of the NDP should provide her party's information to Elections Canada. Otherwise, I think we just conclude this is simply a smear campaign without any basis at all.

Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives will actually say anything. They do not know whether or not they are investigating. The Conservatives have admitted to making calls. They say that it was to inform people of changes in polling stations. However, in the ridings in question, there were no changes.
Can the Prime Minister confirm that calls were made in ridings where there were no changes in polling stations?

Mr. Speaker, the NDP gave all the information it had to Elections Canada; we made it public. We will continue to protect the electoral system against trickery and fraud.
What information did the Prime Minister give to Elections Canada? Did Elections Canada receive the RackNine and RMG contracts? Are the Conservatives investigating this matter, or are they ignoring it? What is the Prime Minister hiding?

Mr. Speaker, once again, the Conservative Party has handed over all available information to Elections Canada. It is interesting that the NDP says that it gave information to Elections Canada, because Elections Canada said that there were almost no complaints during the election. These are just stories made up recently by a party that lost the election.

Pat Martin NDP Winnipeg Centre, MB
Mr. Speaker, Canadians want their government to fix health care, not elections. If the Conservatives won their razor thin majority by cheating, using American style dirty tricks, then they have no mandate. Neither do they have the moral authority to govern.
The kid they thew under the bus now says he did not do it, even though the Minister of Defence said they found the culprit and dealt with it. My question for the Minister of Defence is this: he said the culprit had been caught, but who are they going to blame now? Who is the new fall guy and how far up the food chain does this treachery go?
