Intrusive thoughts are unpleasant but familiar visitors to the mind. They are a common occurrence for older adults, but little is known about how the experience and consequences of intrusive thoughts change with age. Studying intrusive thoughts in older adults is important because unwanted mental activity is so ubiquitous, and because intrusive thoughts are central to emotion dysregulation, producing anxiety, depression and health problems that are tied to morbidity and mortality. We propose to study age differences in response to intrusive thoughts among healthy and anxious older adults to determine both the protective factors that can help us understand preservation of emotional, physical and mental health, and the risk factors that can help us learn how to intervene with those older adults who are struggling with emotional difficulties. In this proposal, we lay out a model to understand age-related differences in the recurrence of intrusive thoughts and ensuing distress. We will conduct a series of studies with older and younger adults using a thought suppression paradigm where participants will attempt to suppress their intrusive thoughts. This paradigm reliably elicits intrusive thoughts, which will allow us to evaluate age differences in the recurrence and attempts made to control these thoughts, meanings assigned to the thoughts, and the degree to which the thoughts provoke distress. Next, a series of manipulations are planned to examine the mechanisms underlying age differences in intrusive thoughts, such as manipulating the meaning assigned to thoughts and altering available working memory capacity. We will examine both age-related protective and risk factors for managing intrusive thoughts to determine when they contribute to emotion dysregulation versus when they contribute to successful aging. Finally, we will test the translational potential of the model, including brief intervention studies with anxious older adults to determine whether training these adults to assign less threatening meanings to their intrusive thoughts can reduce their distress. We will also evaluate the impact of intrusive thoughts and consequent distress on daily functioning in older adults, examining critical domains such as decision making. Ultimately, by examining the link between intrusive thoughts and distress, we can improve understanding of the interplay between emotion and cognition and their interaction with aging.
Establishing how older adults respond to intrusive thoughts, and teaching more adaptive responses to anxious older adults, is critical to promoting successful aging and public health. Intrusive thoughts have been linked to elevated cortisol, low self esteem, multiple forms of psychopathology and severe emotion dysregulation, which have in turn been shown to predict morbidity and mortality, such as increased risk of heart disease. Thus, the proposed studies will provide the basis for developing tools to prevent unhealthy responses to intrusive thoughts in older adults, and thereby help prevent emotion dysregulation and the resulting health problems.

There is a lot of buzz flying around over Bernie Sanders' latest endorsement ad, and for good reason. Despite the propaganda storm insisting Sanders doesn't have support from the African American community, Sanders' latest ad features an incredibly powerful endorsement from none other than Erica Garner—daughter of the late Eric Garner, one of several iconic victims in recent years of police violence and the root of the internationally known phrase, "I can't breathe."
The opening to the four-minute ad features Garner's daughter talking about how her own daughter is learning about the Civil Rights Movement in school.
"She just learned about Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King. I had to explain to her that it's not really over," Garner said, wearing a sweatshirt quoting the last words her father ever spoke—"I can't breathe."
Garner first endorsed Sanders for the presidency last month, but this latest ad gives voters an inside look into Garner's life, which has been personally impacted by so many of the issues plaguing America today—issues that are on the top of Bernie Sanders' priority list should he attain office. The ad also provides a platform for Garner to speak her mind in her own words. In doing so, she references her father's murder, stating that she believes a candidate like Bernie Sanders will work to "get the truth out to tell [Eric Garner's] side of the story."
"My dad's name is Eric Garner. No one gets to see their parent's last moments. I was able to see my dad die on national TV," she states with a touching piano line behind her.
"They don't know what they took from us," she adds. "He wasn't just someone. He was loved dearly … I'm just trying to get the truth out to tell his side of the story. He was murdered. I never want the world to forget what happened to my dad."
Garner then moves on to state why she believes Sanders should be the next president of the United States.
"I'm behind anyone who is going to listen, who is going to speak up for us. I think we need to believe in a leader like Bernie Sanders," she says. "People are dying. This is real. We need a president that will talk about it. I believe Bernie Sanders is a protester. He's not scared to go up against the criminal justice system. He is not scared."
Garner likely agreed to be featured in the ad because, as she pointed out in that same editorial last month, to her, "[I]t's clear. Of all the presidential candidates, Sen. Bernie Sanders is our strongest ally."
Garner was murdered by police on Staten Island on July 17, 2014, for selling loose cigarettes. Due to the illegal chokehold Officer Daniel Pantaleo applied, Eric Garner lost his life.
Erica Garner's endorsement comes at a perfect time to defend Sanders in the wake of Rep. John Lewis claiming he has never seen Sanders "in all [his] years" at any Civil Rights events while he simultaneously endorsed Hillary Clinton. However, many were also quick to point out that John Lewis and Sanders did not protest or reside in the same part of the country, but Sanders contributed to civil rights regardless of what John Lewis personally saw.
Garner's endorsement shows clearly African American voters are as divided between the Democratic candidates as the rest of America, which only goes to show over-reaching claims that Sanders does not have the black vote are nothing more than sensationalist propaganda.
Sanders continues to stand his ground in the polls, caucuses, and primaries against Clinton. Whatever the media and pundits claim about Sanders' support from the African American community, there is no speculation as to Erica Garner's powerful endorsement

NeoClassical Pulse Diagnosis with Dr. William Morris
September 24-25, 2016
Weekend I
A Path to Deep Transformation through the eight extraordinary vessels, six channels and the five phases
This module presents two methods for treating a range of ecopsychosocial problems. They are form the center of my practice and increasing number of practitioners in a variety of disciplines. These methods are based upon shape, and are therefore easily grasped.
The 8 extraordinary vessel (8EV) pulse method is one of the most robust and profound methods of pulse diagnosis I have found. It can be used for literally any condition. Further the pulse method describes shape and can be used for record keeping.
The 6-division (6D) pulse system will be addressed as well. It makes a perfect fit with the methods of Master Dong as he taught and as his disciples, Drs. Tan, Young and Lee. While the 6D method works quickly and effectively for pain syndromes, it can also be used for concerns of internal medicine.
The five seasonal pulses, which also correspond with each of the pulse positions, offer an excellent second step to the treatment methods outlined herein. This provides a level of sophistication in the course of treatment that is consistent with many of the world's finer acupuncture traditions.
We will then use these methods to address emerging concerns of the patient during clinical intake. Of particular note, it is important to take the pulse at the very moment that the patient becomes decompensated in the course of telling their story. This method of focusing the clinical gaze has profound implications.
Successful participants will be able to identify:
- The 8EV pulses
- The 6 channel pulses
- The five seasonal pulses
- Develop appropriate treatment plans using acupuncture and herbs
This program is good for both acupuncturists and herbalists.
Register for Weekend 1 Only
November 12-13, 2016
Weekend II Pulse Diagnosis for Herbal Medicine
Pulse Diagnosis of anatomy and physiology for purposes of herbal prescription
Each pulse diagnosis method has advantages. Such advantages are gained by understanding what question we are asking at the moment of taking the pulse.
This pulse diagnostic method focuses primarily upon the function of organs and the consequent pathology and physiology. We will spend a good deal of time exploring fluid pathology in relationship to pulse diagnosis but also significant problems of the circulatory system in general.
Inquiry is used to guide the selection of pulse method. Since the question relates to anatomical location, one places the image of the body over the radial artery in order to explore specific anatomical locations.
In this anatomical-physiological method, a rolling technique is used to explore particular anatomical locations. For instance, one may examine the esophagus by rolling distal from the stomach position in order to get insight about the structure and function of the esophagus. Searching the depths, one may examine the nerve, vessel and organ tissues. The appropriate herbs are then discussed.
Objectives - Upon successful completion of this module, learners will be able to:
- Identify unique pulses of the Ding family tradition as taught by Dr. John HF Shen
- Identify anatomical locations of the pulse
- Identify latent pathogens with the pulse
- Parse out pathogens and essential substances via the pulse
- Construct herbal treatment strategies based upon the pulse
Register for Weekend 2 Only
December 10 - 11, 2016
Weekend III - Pulse Diagnosis for Herbal Medicine, Acupuncture and Ethics
The treatment of trauma, individually, in family systems and social systems, these concerns directly affect the souls evolutionary situation
This weekend we will take a journey into the treatment of trauma using herbal medicine and tuning forks. Three areas of focus will be physical, psychosocial and transgenerational trauma.
The practice of pulse diagnosis eases when driven by inquiry. Here, the question pertains to the changes in the pulse during the patient's report of history. Conventional and novel pulse methods are used for the development of the treatment plan.
An evolutionary scum off the for correlating plant materials to the individual and collective stages of transformation are explored in depth. These explorations are, of course, provided in the context of the NeoClassical pulse method.
Objectives - Upon successful completion of this module, learners will:
- Assess impact of trauma using pulse diagnosis
- Use and assess the 8EV to treat the results of shock
- Employ anatomical locations of the pulse critical to the treatment of trauma
- Address 8EV in the context of birth trauma

A shocking reversal of fortune
Original post made on May 25, 2011
Mallory Burdette has been in the spotlight several times during her young tennis career and there's no faulting her effort during the clinching point of Florida's stunning 4-3 victory over Stanford in the championship match of the NCAA women's team tennis tournament Tuesday night.

I'm not certain "shocking" is the right description. With score tied at 3-3 Florida won a 3rd set tie breaker 8-6. That's about as close as you can get things. Last year Stanford won the other way. These were 2 good good teams battling hard and one of them just won. Great fun to watch though.

"Shocking" probably refers to the fact that Stanford had its 184-match home court streak ended and that most figured Stanford would win on its home court...it was shocking, especially having not lost at home in more than 12 years. All you had to do was look at the Stanford players after the match....they were in shock. The writer was there, saw that and wrote it.

Waiting Period Defined
For plan years starting on or after January 1, 2014, a group health plan or a health insurer offering group coverage may not impose a waiting period that exceeds 90 days. IRS Notice 2012-59 defines "waiting period" as a period of time that must pass before coverage for an employee or dependent, who is otherwise eligible to enroll under the terms of the plan, can become effective. For this purpose, being eligible for coverage means having met the plan's substantive eligibility conditions (for example, full-time employment at a covered location). Notice 2012-59 clarifies that:
For example, assume that Plan A limits coverage to full-time employees, with coverage beginning on the first day of the month after an employee becomes eligible. A part-time employee who begins working full-time on April 11 enrolls in the plan with coverage effective beginning May 1. The period from April 11 through April 30 is a waiting period that satisfies the 90-day limit. Since part-time employees are not eligible for coverage under the plan, the period when the employee was working part-time before April 11 is not counted as part of the 90 day waiting period.
Application to Variable Hour Employees
If a health plan conditions eligibility on an employee regularly working a specified number of hours of service in a given period, and it cannot be determined that a newly-hired employee is reasonably expected to work that number of hours per period, the plan may take a reasonable period of time to determine whether such newly-hired employee meets the plan's eligibility conditions. The period may include a measurement period that is consistent with the initial measurement period the employer uses to determine whether it is subject to the shared responsibility provisions of Code section 4980H (under which large employers may become subject to penalties for failure to offer affordable health coverage). The safe harbor rules for determining full-time employees for purposes of the shared responsibility provisions are discussed in IRS Notice 2012-58, which is the subject of a separate Alert.
The use of an initial measurement period will not be considered an attempt to avoid compliance with the 90-day waiting period limit as long as the employee has an opportunity for coverage to become effective within 13 months after his or her start date. If the employee's start date is a date other than the first day of a calendar month, the time remaining between the start date and the first day of the next calendar month may be added to this 13-month period.
For example, assume that Plan C limits coverage to full-time employees, with coverage beginning on the first day of the first calendar month after enrollment forms are received from an eligible employee. For purposes of determining whether variable hour employees are full-time, the plan utilizes a safe-harbor measurement and stability period. A variable hour employee is hired on November 26, 2014; his or her initial measurement period ends on November 25, 2015. If the employee is determined to be a full-time employee and elects coverage, coverage will begin on January 1, 2016. Because coverage can become effective no later than 13 months from the employee's start date (plus the time remaining until the first day of the next month), the plan is not considered to be designed to avoid compliance with the 90-day waiting period limitation.
Employers may rely on the guidance provided in Notice 2012-59 at least through 2014.

Statements in the House
Digital Privacy Act June 17th, 2015
Mr. Speaker, as we reviewed the bill in committee, issues of unconstitutionality were never raised. Therefore, there does not seem to be a problem with it from that perspective. Bills go through the usual process of legal assessment before they are put forward, to understand whether that is the case. I do not think there is anything in there that is unconstitutional.
Digital Privacy Act June 17th, 2015
Mr. Speaker, there are several categories of people who are vulnerable: children who are now doing a lot more work online than many adults, and seniors who are also online and are likely to be subject to financial fraud, et cetera. The bill would allow for somebody to identify that there was a potential fraud taking place and would allow communication with somebody responsible for those people to analyze and see if these could be fixed. The bill ensures we make that provision for those people.
Digital Privacy Act June 17th, 2015
Mr. Speaker, that was an interesting question.
Of course there is some merit in all of these things. This bill was specifically designed to fix some of the issues in PIPEDA. It would provide that oversight with the Privacy Commissioner. It would do everything that we need to do to fix the issues for now. Some of the changes that were proposed were not accepted for those various reasons. They were looked at and therefore rejected.
Digital Privacy Act June 17th, 2015
Mr. Speaker, while we look at what the question is about, we already have this information in the system. This is information that people have put online with businesses they are working with to ensure that information is used for legitimate businesses. There is no need for a warrant for those sorts of information unless some criminal activity is going on, in which case there would be a warrant. I do not think there is any relevance to that question, to be quite frank.
Digital Privacy Act June 17th, 2015
Mr. Speaker, our government understands the need for businesses to conduct normal, everyday activities, and not be inundated with red tape, while at the same time maintaining the privacy of Canadians.
The digital privacy act proposes common sense changes that recognize that companies need access to and the use of personal information to conduct legitimate business activities, for example, taking a merger and acquisition process, an insurance claim, or sharing an employee's email address and fax number with another company in those circumstances. These important fixes were introduced in response to unanimous recommendations made during the first parliamentary review.
The digital privacy act would reduce the unnecessary red tape for businesses, while also maintaining and protecting privacy rights for Canadians.
Digital Privacy Act June 17th, 2015
Mr. Speaker, on any bill that comes through the House, the question can be asked whether it is the best bill. We believe this is the best bill we have for this time, for this place, for now, in protecting the privacy of Canadians who are working in this digital economy. We believe these things will strengthen PIPEDA and close the gaps. That is why we have submitted it.
Digital Privacy Act June 17th, 2015
Clearly, Mr. Speaker, when the committee looked at the amendments, they were not considered suitable or applicable at that stage. There is a lot of confidence in the companies that we are working with and that are working on these. The recommendations in this bill came from the companies, as well as all the industries, et cetera. Therefore, I do not think there was any need for those changes to be admitted in.
Digital Privacy Act June 17th, 2015
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise in my place today to speak to Bill S-4, the digital privacy act.
Last year our government launched digital Canada 150, an ambitious plan for Canadians to take advantage of the opportunities of this digital age. It is a broad-based ambitious plan to take full advantage of the digital economy as we celebrate our 150th anniversary in 2017. It is the next step to build our nation and to connect Canadians to each other. As the digital economy grows, individual Canadians must have confidence that their personal information will be protected. That is why under digital Canada 150, one of the five pillars is known as "protecting Canadians".
The digital privacy act would provide important and long awaited updates to our private sector privacy law, the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act, commonly known as PIPEDA. PIPEDA provides a legal framework for how personal information must be handled in the context of commercial activities while also setting guidelines for the collection, use and disclosure of personal information.
These rules are based on a set of principles developed jointly by government, industry groups and consumer representatives. The digital privacy act would strengthen marketplace rules set out by PIPEDA in important ways. In addition to protecting and empowering consumers, the amendments would clarify rules for businesses and reduce red tape.
These guidelines would ensure that vital information is available to Canadian businesses so that they have the necessary tools to thrive in a global economy. Balancing individual expectations for privacy and the need for businesses to access and use personal information in their day-to-day operations is important. Bill S-4 gets this right. It assures individuals that no matter the transaction, their personal information will continue to be protected under Canadian law.
The need to update the rules for online privacy continues to grow. Breaches of personal information held by retail giants like Target and Home Depot, where the credit card information of millions of Canadians was stolen, underscore the need to strengthen PIPEDA with mandatory breach requirements. The bill before us does exactly this by establishing new requirements for organizations to inform Canadians when their personal information has been lost or stolen and there is a risk of harm. The Privacy Commissioner will also be notified.
An organization that deliberately covers up a data breach or intentionally fails to notify individuals and report to the commissioner could face significant fines as a result.
Let me now take a minute to point out some of the ways in which the bill before us creates an effective streamlined regime for reporting data breaches. The digital privacy act establishes a clear and straightforward test that businesses must apply to determine whether or not they are required to report a breach.
If a business determines that the data breach creates a significant risk of harm to a customer or client, then it must report this information both to the individual affected and the Privacy Commissioner.
If the organization determines that the data breach does not pose a risk of significant harm, that is, its data security safeguards were compromised but it avoided a situation where the customers are exposed to a threat, like identity theft, fraud or humiliation, then that organization must keep a record of that breach.
The requirement to maintain these records, even if the breach is determined not to be serious at the time, serves two purposes. First and most important, it requires companies to keep track of when their data security safeguards failed, so that they can determine whether or not they have a systemic problem that needs to be corrected.
An initial breach may not be serious because the information lost is not particularly sensitive. The next time, however, the company and the individual affected may not be so lucky. Keeping track of these breaches will help companies identify potential problems before individual privacy is seriously harmed.
Second, these records provide a mechanism for the Privacy Commissioner to hold organizations accountable for their obligations to report serious data breaches. At any time, the Privacy Commissioner may request companies to provide these records which will allow the commissioner to make sure that organizations are following the rules.
If companies choose to deliberately ignore these rules, the consequences as set out under the digital privacy act are serious. Bill S-4 would make it an offence to deliberately cover up a data breach or intentionally fail to notify individuals and report it to the commissioner.
In these cases, organizations could face a fine of up to $100,000 for every individual they fail to notify. These penalties represent one way that the digital privacy act would safeguard the personal information of Canadians.
The Privacy Commissioner of Canada strongly supports the proposed data breach rules in Bill S-4. He told the standing committee:
I am greatly encouraged by the government's show of commitment to update the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act, and I generally welcome the amendments proposed in this bill. Proposals such as the breach notification, voluntary compliance agreements and enhanced consent would go a long way to strengthening the framework that protects the privacy of Canadians....
Similarly, the Canadian Bankers Association voiced its support for these amendments, telling the committee:
The banking industry supports the requirements in the digital privacy act for organizations to notify individuals about a breach of their personal information where there is a risk of significant harm. We also support the commissioner's new oversight powers to ensure that organizations comply with these new provisions.
I have been discussing the data breach rules which are a very important element of the bill before us. I would like now to turn my attention to four ways that Bill S-4 would strengthen Canada's privacy rules.
First, the bill establishes strong consent requirements to protect vulnerable individuals online, particularly children. These enhanced consent provisions were introduced as a result of recommendations made by Parliament during the first statutory review of PIPEDA.
Under PIPEDA, organizations need to obtain an individual's consent to collect, use, or disclose their personal information. Under the bill before us, an individual's consent would not be considered valid unless the way the information will be used is clearly communicated in language appropriate to the target audience.
For example, some businesses operate online playgrounds or educational websites that target children and collect personal information of children that is used for marketing and other purposes. Bill S-4 requires that the language used to obtain consent must be such that a child could reasonably be expected to understand the nature, purpose and consequence of sharing his or her personal information. If the consent request is too complicated for the child to understand, the consent would not be valid.
Again, the Privacy Commissioner of Canada supports this amendment. He told the committee:
I think it would be useful to further clarify that consent is to be evaluated from the perspective of the person whose consent is invoked. Organizations would be asked to put themselves in the shoes of various clientele from whom they are collecting information so that consent is as meaningful as possible.
Second, Bill S-4 seeks to harmonize federal laws with provincial privacy protection laws when it comes to a sharing of personal information without consent in narrow, limited circumstances.
PIPEDA already provides for a number of circumstances where personal information can be shared without consent when it is clearly in the public interest to do so. The amendments in Bill S-4 would add to this by allowing information to be shared in order to protect seniors and other vulnerable individuals from financial abuse or neglect, communicate with the family of an injured or deceased individual, or identify a victim of an accident or a natural disaster.
In his testimony before the standing committee, Mr. Marc-André Pigeon, director of financial sector policy at Credit Union Central of Canada expressed his strong support for Bill S-4 and the financial abuse amendment. He said:
In general, we think Bill S-4 does a lot of things right. We are especially pleased with the provisions that would make it easier for credit unions to share personal information with the next of kin or authorized representatives when the credit union has reasonable grounds to suspect that the individual may be a victim of financial abuse.
The third way that Bill S-4 would strengthen PIPEDA would be through changes that would support day-to-day business operations. The digital privacy act would remove unnecessary red tape for businesses by allowing for the collection, use and disclosure of personal information without consent in the context of specific legitimate business activities. For example, Bill S-4 would allow information to be more readily available in order to conduct due diligence in the context of mergers and acquisitions.
Similarly, the digital privacy act would allow businesses to share any type of business contact information in order to carry out normal business activities. It is simply ridiculous that PIPEDA allows an employee to share an office phone or fax number, but not an email address. Bill S-4 would fix this problem, a solution supported by the Retail Council of Canada. It told the committee:
—we support the clarification on the exclusion of business contact information...This section 4 clarification will better equip businesses to conduct their ongoing operations.
Finally, the digital privacy act would make existing compliance tools stronger and more effective. PIPEDA is enforced by the Privacy Commissioner of Canada who can turn to the Federal Court when an organization is found to break the rules. Bill S-4 would also give Canadians the option of taking an organization to Federal Court to order an organization to change its practices or to seek damages.
While the digital privacy act would keep those options open, it would also provide an alternative to court action such as voluntary compliance agreements. Under a compliance agreement, organizations would voluntarily commit to take action to comply with the law to avoid costly legal action. The agreements would be legally binding and would allow the commissioner to hold organizations accountable to follow through on their commitments to private privacy protection.
Again, the Privacy Commissioner expressed his strong support for this tool when he appeared before the standing committee. He said that the compliance agreement amendment was "very necessary" and "helpful for us to implement and apply".
Canadian organizations care about their reputation and they know that sound privacy practices will have a lasting impact on the legitimacy of their brand. They also know that the reverse is true, that if their customers find out about shoddy privacy practices, their businesses will suffer. This is why the digital privacy act would give the Privacy Commissioner broader powers to name and shame a non-compliant organization to encourage it to take corrective action.
If either of these measures fail to provide the right incentives for businesses to fix their privacy problems, Bill S-4 would give the Privacy Commissioner more time to take them to court. Under the current law, the commissioner only has 45 days after he finishes the investigation to take the organization to court.
The Privacy Commissioner told the standing committee that it was simply not enough time, given the high complexity of issues with which his office dealt. Quite often, the Privacy Commissioner will work with organizations for several months, if not a year, to ensure they follow through on their commitments to fix any problems he has identified. The problem, of course, is that organizations can simply delay taking action for a couple of weeks, knowing that after 45 days, the commissioner will no longer have the option to take them to court. Bill S-4 would fix this problem and would provide the commissioner with a year to take an organization to court for non-compliance.
I have just outlined the five major provisions in Bill S-4, which include: new data breach rules; clear requirements when obtaining consent from individuals, including from minors; changes to support other public interest objectives, like fighting financial abuse; reducing the red tape for day-to-day operations; and new compliance tools for the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.
It is clear that Bill S-4 would deliver a balanced approach to protect the personal information of Canadians, while still allowing the information to be available to the growing, innovative digital economy.
Karl Littler, vice-president of Public Affairs at the Retail Council of Canada, summed it up best when he told the standing committee:
Generally speaking, Bill S-4 strikes the right balance between action to protect digital privacy on digital fraud and financial abuse, while recognizing the strengths of PIPEDA and its forward-thinking technologically neutral approach.
We have it right with this digital privacy act. Both businesses and consumers have been empowered in this digital age, but if Canada is to remain a leading digital nation, Canadians need to have confidence that their online transactions are safe and their privacy is secure.
Bill S-4, the digital privacy act, would strengthen the rules protecting personal information, and that is essential to conduct business in virtually all sectors of the economy. The digital privacy act would go a long way to improving the protection of privacy for Canadians. I urge hon. members to join me in supporting this bill.
Pensions June 9th, 2015
Mr. Speaker, our government has consistently lowered taxes and created new voluntary options for Canadians to save, like the tax-free savings account.
In contrast, the Liberal leader revealed a risky spending scheme that would force Canadians to take a $1,000 pay cut. It is clear that the Liberal leader has only one plan for our economy, and that is to raise taxes.
Could the Minister of Finance please tell the House what our government is doing to help Canadians save?
Taxation June 1st, 2015
Mr. Speaker, my constituents of Don Valley East are astonished that the leader of the Liberal Party wants to introduce a job-killing payroll tax hike on every worker in Canada. For someone earning $60,000 a year, the Liberal leader's plan would cost $1,000. He wants to bring "...a mandatory expansion of the CPP, of the type that Kathleen Wynne put forward in Ontario".
We reject that. Our approach is a low-tax plan to secure retirement. We want to keep more money in the pockets of hard-working Canadians.

Like many fashionable Parisians, Cassatt collected Japanese color woodblock prints by artists such as Utamaro. These prints often depicted images from the world of entertainment, particularly well-known geishas, courtesans, and prostitutes. Cassatt adopted the voyeuristic glimpse into the private lives of women common in Japan; however, she presented prosaic scenes such as bathing and dressing (see lot 3). Cassatt also adopted the Japanese aesthetic of flat, boldly-colored patterns and diminished perspective.
The present impression of La Toilette is of exceptional quality. Cassatt's working method was to treat her color prints as unique works of art and this example displays a broader-than-usual range of color which was printed with great skill. The rich blue background and the delicate skin tone contrast larger blocks of color, while the stripes of the dress and the delicately applied coloring of the carpet enhance carefully composed details. This impression is one of the outstanding examples of Impressionist printmaking. It is no doubt for this reason that an impression of La Toilette set the record for a Cassat print when it was last offered at auction.

He takes on international criminals, refuses to be paid, and laughs in the face of danger. He has received death threats, cracked scams and helped police make arrests. Not a bad evening's work for a man who spends his day on the car assembly line.
Xylitol – the name of an artificial sweetener – is the nom de guerre of one of a new breed of civilian amateurs taking on organised cybergangs armed only with their computer expertise, a fast internet connection and a sense of purpose.
The 22-year-old is based close to the Swiss border in the north-eastern French city of Belfort – other personal details are kept deliberately vague – and his success in tackling lucrative criminal scams has shown how blurred the lines have become between state agencies, unregulated private companies and individuals tackling the criminals who cost Britain £27bn every year, according to a report commissioned by the Government.
In last week's Queen's Speech, the Government proposed tougher laws that could lead to life sentences for cyber criminals whose activities lead to loss of life or serious damage to national security. It was a sign of the growing seriousness on the part of officials to tackle the issue.
Xylitol's work was recommended by a fellow French cyber vigilante who in turn was himself identified by a senior British cyber-security official as one of the leading lights in tackling the predominantly Eastern European world of cybercrime.
A former hacker, Xylitol changed sides in 2008 after his own computer became infected by someone trying to steal his passwords. Since then, he has long battled Russian makers of ransomware, an insidious program that locks up a computer until the user pays for a code to get back in.
It has earned him enemies, including an Algerian, Hamza Bendelladj, who was extradited to the US last year over claims that he used a computer virus to steal cash from more than 250 American banks. In a post on a forum that criticised Xylitol's work, someone using Bendelladj's Bx1 alias said: "He lives in Lyon France, I already saw him and walked beside him."
Interviewed by email, Xylitol says he has only ever been threatened online and never physically attacked. "I receive death threats sometime, but that's part of the game. I never really pay attention to that," he wrote, adding that he sometimes steered clear from identifying the instigator of a scam.
"I'm not a guy who hides in a garage," he wrote. "I've always done that for fun and entertainment. I don't see myself as someone who strikes back, or someone on a crusade after a specific group. I've a sort of ethic: don't do unto others what you don't want others to do unto you.
"The things I hate are guys without morals who try to steal money, profit from personal information and ruin people's lives in general."
Xylitol, who is currently unemployed after his assembly-line contract expired and is training for private security, unravels the code used by the scammers and online fraudsters. He says he often reports the information he obtains to "competent people" within the security sector and leaves the rest to them. He says he once received $200 from someone grateful for his work, but he sent it back. "I don't spit on money, but I don't see myself making money with a computer for the moment," he said.
Working as an independent, he says that he has "more liberty than someone who works for a company or a group. Warning people by releasing information about threats is a way to know your enemies and their techniques".
But the role of people such as Xylitol raises questions about who has the right to destroy computer infrastructure based in another nation. Troels Oerting, the head of the European Cybercrime Centre, told The Independent last month that "hacking back" should usually be the role of the state.
"You will normally see coercive power as a prerogative of the state. I can beat you, arrest you, even shoot you; I can search your house because we have rules and I have this permission. We should have the same standards with cybercrime," he said.
"We will see private sector companies able to offer services to companies asking will you please make this go away. They will make it go away. They don't adhere to the same rules that we do. I think this should be done by the police in an open and transparent way that can be scrutinised... and someone can be held liable if it goes wrong."Reuse content

Intel adds 240GB model to Intel SSD 330 Series and lowers prices
Subject: Storage | July 16, 2012 - 06:55 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: ssd, intel 330, Intel
Good news SSD fans Intel has not only extended their SandForce SF2281 based 330 line, they have also dropped prices across the board. The new 240GB Intel SSD 330 should be on sale for $194, dropping comfortably below the $1/GB mark. Intel has reduced the costs to their resellers as well, by up to 38 percent on 520 Series, 10% - 18% for the 320 Series and 27% - 34% on the 330 Series. These price changes may not directly translate into the same savings for those purchasing from major retailers but it will certainly have some impact. For instance, right now the Intel 330 180GB model will cost you $160 while the 120GB 320 model remains $170. The 520 series also remains above $1/GB but with this announcement from Intel you should really keep a close eye on PC Perspective and your favourite retailers for price changes.
MSI Possibly Working on SandForce SF-2000-series SSD
Subject: Storage | July 14, 2012 - 11:43 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: storage, ssd, SF2000, sandforce, msi
The solid state market is heating up as spindle-based drives continue to sell at much higher prices than last year and NAND flash is getting cheaper. The latest entrant may be motherboard and laptop vendor MSI, if a recent addition to SandForce's SSD partner list holds true.
Unfortunately, we do not have any further details so it's hard to say what sort of drive this will be other than it will use solid state NAND flash. Being a 2000-series SandForce controller is promising for performance, however. Stay tuned for more details as they develop. I'm excited to see what MSI can bring to the SSD table, and here's hoping that they break a cost/GB record (I can dream heh). For now though, we will have to suffice with the currently available SSD options, which you can check out on our SSD Decoder at pcper.com/ssd. What do you think about the prospect of an MSI SSD?

Corsair Force Series GS SSDs with Toggle NAND Boost Performance of SandForce Lineup
Subject: Storage | July 5, 2012 - 07:35 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: ssd, corsair, Force Series GS, toggle NAND
The new Corsair Force GS series come in four sizes, 180GB, 240GB, 360GB, 480GB. All are SATA 6Gbps drives and powered by the Sandforce 2200 controller but there are differences in speed because of the different sizes of drive, though perhaps not in the breakdown you would expect. The smaller 180GB and 240GB models sport specifications of:
- Max Sequential R/W (ATTO): 555 MB/s sequential read
- 525 MB/s sequential write
- Max Random 4k Write (IOMeter 08): 90k IOPS (4k aligned)
The two larger drives have slightly slower listed random write speeds, with the 360GB having slightly improved sequential writes:
- Max Sequential R/W (ATTO): 555 MB/s sequential read
- 530 MB/s sequential write
- Max Random 4k Write (IOMeter 08): 50k IOPS (4k aligned)
Finally the largest 480GB model is slower at everything:
- Max Sequential R/W (ATTO): 540 MB/s sequential read
- 455 MB/s sequential write
- Max Random 4k Write (IOMeter 08): 50k IOPS (4k aligned)
You can head over to Corsair and see the drives yourself. If you are looking to purchase the drives their MRSPs are $189.99 for 180GB, $239.99 for 240GB, $349.99 for 340GB and $489.99 for 480GB capacities, meeting the ~$1/GB we all like to see.
Remember the OCZ Vertex 4? The 256GB model is less than $1/GB!
Subject: Storage | July 4, 2012 - 07:53 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: Vertex 4, vertex, ocz, Indilinx, ssd
It has been a while since Allan first reviewed the Indilinx Everest 2 powered OCZ Vertex 4 so it seems like a good time to refresh your memory. That is not just because newer firmware is increasing the performance of this drive but also because the 256GB model can be had for under $1/GB! You can see the performance against over a dozen other SSDs of varying prices at TechSpot, where it might not hold the top spot for overall performance it fares very well when you consider the price to performance ratio. That is not to say it is the least expensive drive available but it deserves to be in your list when you are considering a new SSD for your system.
"Although SandForce controllers have powered much of OCZ's solid-state lineup, the company is shifting to its own solutions after purchasing Indilinx early last year. The "Octane" flash drives were the first to use the Indilinx Everest controller last holiday season and now that its SF-2281-based drives are over a year old, OCZ has begun phasing Everest into the rest of its offerings, including the Vertex series.
The Vertex 4 series is aimed at performance buffs, with initial Indilinx Everest 2 based models offering capacities of 64GB, 128GB, 256GB and 512GB. Performance is the name of the game here and OCZ doesn't disappoint."

Sandisk Launches PCIe Solid State Accelerators (SSAs)
Subject: Storage | July 3, 2012 - 04:21 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: ssd, slc, server, sandisk, PCIe SSD, flash, enterprise, caching
Flash storage company Sandisk has recently jumped into the world of enterprise PCI-E caching SSDs – what they are calling Solid State Accelerators. Currently, they are offering a 200GB and 400GB model under the company's Lightning PCIe series. The SSDs feature a proprietary Sandisk controller driving 24nm SLC NAND flash, a PCI-E 2.0 x4 interface, and maximum power draw of 15 watts.
The Lightning Accelerators use the NAND flash for Sandisk's own foundry and offer a large performance boost for servers and workstations over hard drives and SATA SSDs. It is capable of 410 MB/s sequential reads or 110,000 IOPS. Further, when using 4KB and 8KB blocks, the drives can reach 23,000 and 17,000 read/write IOPS respectively. Other specifications include an average response time of 245 microseconds, and less than 30 millisecond maximum response times. The Solid State Accelerators also feature sustained read and write latencies as low as 50 microseconds.
Sandisk has built the drives so that they can be configured as boot drives, storage drives, or caching drives. The company supports up to 5 drives in a single system, for a maximum of 2TB of flash storage. In addition, Sandisk is offering up its Flashsoft software that allows the Lightning Accelerators to be used as caching drives on Windows-based systems. Unfortunately, that is an additional cost which is not included in the already pricey SSDs (good thing for corporate expense accounts!).
Speaking of pricing, the 200GB LP206M has an MSRP of $1,350 while the 400GB LP406M has an MSRP of $2,350. Both cards have five year warranties and a MTBF rating of 2 million hours. You can find more information on the Sandisk Website.
It will be interesting to see how this Sandisk accelerator stacks up to the likes of the Intel 910 and FusioIO drives! The FusionIO FX, for example, gives you 420GB of QDP MLC NAND for $2,495, which works out such that Sandisk has a slightly lower cost-per-gigabyte value and SLC flash. We will have to wait for some independant reviews to say which drive is actually faster, however.

Drobo releases new Thunderbolt + USB 3.0 '5D' and 'Mini' - both mSATA SSD accelerated
Subject: Storage | June 21, 2012 - 01:06 PM | Allyn Malventano
Tagged: ssd, msata, drobo
I have a warm spot in my heart for Drobo products ever since I spent months trying to break one (unsuccessfully). With that I am now pleased to report on their announcement of two new products.
First is the Drobo 5D, which is basically a 5-bay Drobo S on steroids. It updates the interface to USB 3.0 + Thunderbolt and speeds up IOPS and multi-stream performance by way of an mSATA SSD. The SSD does not take up a drive bay as it is installed beneath a trap door un the bottom of the 5D:
Next up is the Drobo Mini. This little guy carries the same connectivity as the 5D, but is *much* smaller:
The drop in size comes from a change in the form factor of installed storage. It takes up to 4 2.5" form factor drives. Performance should be similar to that of the 5D, primarily based on it also sporting that integrated mSATA port. I suspect the mini will go over very well with the mobile / MacBook / Ultrabook crowd, as being able to carry a small box with large redundant storage is a great idea for mobile workstations.
More to follow as availability will be announced in July. Pricing is expected to be below $650 (thunderbolt cable *included*). Press blast after the break.
New Link_A_Media Devices controller scores Corsair Neutron 'Best of Computex 2012' Award
Subject: Storage | June 13, 2012 - 12:50 AM | Allyn Malventano
Tagged: ssd, neutron, LAMD, corsair, computex
Last week during Computex, Corsair jointly announced a new SSD to their lineup. Their partnership was with Link_A_Media Devices (LAMD), and the new Corsair Neutron Series scooped up Tom Hardware's "Best of Computex 2012" award:
The LAMD press blast for this event included some additional technical specs:
- SATA 6G host interface
- 8 NAND channels, up to 4CE per channel
- Support for 2y-nm and 1x-nm NAND Flash from all major Flash vendors
- ONFi 2.3, Toggle Mode 1 and Legacy NAND interfaces
- Proprietary endurance improving eBoostTM technology
- End-to-end user data path protection
- Strong BCH ECC capability with area/power efficient decoder architecture
- Enterprise-class proven firmware for NAND management and data transport operations
- Variable NAND over-provisioning
- Efficient garbage collection and global wear leveling
- RAID/Chipkill technology
- Proven unsolicited power loss management
- Low power design
- S.M.A.R.T. support
- Microsoft® Windows® 7 TRIM support
- Sequential Read: 550 MB/s
- Sequential Write: 550 MB/s
- Random Read (4KB): 90K IOPS
- Random Write (4KB): 90K IOPS
What caught my eye was the "Enterprise-class proven firmware" part. If this is LAMD's first entry to market, how can they possibly have 'proven' anything, especially in the enterprise sector? If it wasn't for the lack of compression, I'd be inclined to think this was some sort of re-brand of SandForce tech. Clearly this is something to remain curious about as more information is disclosed.
Full press blast after the break.

Authors note
I entered this for the BBC 500 words writing competition.
~Stay Strong, Skye. X .
Emotional pain engulfs you, makes you shiver, and grasps your crimson heart, squeezing it so you can't breathe. The dejection and desolation flows through you just like a meandering river. Emotional pain is despairing, depleting and all encompassing. This pain snatches away all of your reserves leaving nothing but a shell of the person that once was.
"Come on Gracie, what's your favourite colour?" I say with all the enthusiasm I can muster.
Nothing. I lean back against the wall sighing, tears pricking my eyes. Tribulation floods my body, strangling me in its anguish. The sky was crying outside, matching my pain completely; the perfect touch.
I have always blamed myself for how Gracie dealt with the death of our mother. I have always guided her as her big brother; teaching her the right things such as how to look after herself. But I never taught her how to deal with her feelings. This is why she never talks. It's my fault.
I remember her at the age of seven. Through sobs and gritted teeth she vowed if I didn't bring her 'mummy' back, she would never talk again. That was two years ago now. She has not spoken a word since.
Sometimes I cannot bear to look at Gracie. She has beautiful soft curls that fall around her face gracefully, sapphire blue eyes that sparkle like the silver stars at night and a genuine smile that shows off her pearly white teeth – just like our mother. That's why I can't bear to look at her, my own sister, because she resembles mum so much. Every time I look at her as the endless days blur by, I see my mother. The pain aches and punches me in the stomach.
Gracie and I are coping as best we can, since the death. We have rented a small flat. It does get damp and there is only one bedroom, a toilet and a cramped kitchen but we are managing. I have a part time job at the local pub as well. I can't afford anyone to look after Gracie so I have to leave her home - I don't have a choice. It doesn't pay much but it just about pays off the bills and I have enough to put away 50p a month in a savings account for Gracie.
Gracie means so much to me. I would do anything just to hear her soft and delicate voice again after so long. I remember even begging her, just wanting to hear her say one word. I've tried everything. I've explained to her how and why our mother died. That it isn't her fault. That it is okay to talk about how she is feeling. I love her and I just want what is best for her. I really do.
Will my sister speak again? I just have to let the endless days pass by until I can hear her voice again. But for now Gracie will stay silent.

I so wanted her to speak something but in my heart i knew that it's gonna be a sad ending. That was a flawless story and I really enjoyed reading it. Good job Skye :)
OH WOW!! This is so amazing!! I love how well-written your work is and how you were able to capture the pain between both Lucas and Gracie. In this short story, I can just read how much responsibility Lucas has over watching over his little sister. I hope she can find her voice. :):)
There is in this world, a void... A great chasm existing between those who desire to have the words they think & commit to paper, be touching & of value to the world, & those who paint a mental picture utilizing vocabulary to grant a reader wings with which to fly off of the page & into the limitless universe within ones mind...
