Sophomore Chase Lio's dreams got an important boost this week. The aspiring sports broadcaster was awarded a $5,000 scholarship from the Southern California Sports Broadcasters for his work as the play-by-play announcer for the Loyola Marymount University women's basketball team.
"It's a pretty cool honor," said Lio, a sophomore economics major. "The money is good, but for me the best part is that there will be an opportunity to make connections, hopefully developing some sort of network, getting a job or internship opportunity."
Lio credits his grandfather, Dennis Lio, with sparking his interest in sports. Dennis, who coached Chase's T-ball team, and who, Chase said, "throughout my whole life, I don't think that he missed more than one baseball game a whole season," flew from New York to see the presentation. Chase teasingly added, "It's probably just to meet some of the people at the luncheon, like Vin Scully and some of his old-time heroes."
Tom Feuer, the SCSB's scholarship chairman and an executive producer for Fox Sports West/Prime Ticket, presented the award to Lio on Jan. 28, noting that Lio was unanimously selected for the scholarship. Sarah Finney, LMU's assistant director for sports information, nominated him.
Lio, who grew up in Wilsonville, Ore., a suburb of Portland, had some play-by-play experience that helped him land the job with LMU Athletics. During his high school years, the basketball coach did an online broadcast for families that couldn't make it to the games. "They asked me if I wanted to do it because I've always had an interest in listening to the games on the radio, rather than watching them on TV. And I said, 'Sure, why not?' I mean, only 12 to 15 people listening to it, and I could screw up and nobody would be listening."
Now 20 games into his first season, Lio is getting the full sports-journalism experience behind the microphone. He's thrilled to be watching Lion guard/forward Alex Cowling chase records: "Alex just passed the LMU rebounding record and Coach [Charity] Elliott did a really classy thing: she called timeout right afterward and everyone gave Alex a standing ovation." But he's seen some of the downside, too: "The hardest thing to do is interview Coach Elliott after a loss. I don't want to ask the wrong questions and I know she doesn't really want to talk, especially … after losing close games. It's tough to ask her questions, because I have to interview her and we have to get her side of the story."
Lio, whose broadcasting heroes include sportscasting legend Jack Buck and longtime Portland Trailblazers announcer Brian Wheeler, will be busy the rest of the season, covering the women's games as they compete for a good seeding in the WCC tournament, keeping up with his classes and honing his play-by-play skills. Maybe, even, he will come up with a signature catch-phrase. "I'm working on it, but I feel that is just something that has to come to you on the spot, without even thinking about it," he said. "I'm still new to this play-by-play for collegiate basketball, where there's pressure on me to do well. So, I feel like that kind of thing will come to me as I get more comfortable."

MeDeFe wrote:So when is it profitable to go for an other continent then, oh great master of strategy? Should everyone hang back while the two who got Australia and SA battle it out?
You have done nothing to clarify, so far you have claimed that getting Aussie is almost tantamount to 100% chance of winning the game. "Get it and be done", seems to be what you're telling us inferior cretins. Please, I beg you, give us unworthy ones some details, how would you deal with the oh so hypothetical situation that never occurs of 3 or 4 other players holding continents on the classic map? Because surely they would never decide not to fight each other to the death if someone else is already holding a continent.
Listen, all I'm saying, is that statistics (taken from your games, mind you) support that, despite what people might want to believe, the player who ultimately wins the game takes Aussie as his first continent more often than any other continent. I understand it's way more cool to be the guy who goes against the grain, but the numbers quite simply say that, far more often than any other continent...(sorry, I'm not going to say it again).
Now, please understand that this doesn't mean the first player to take Aussie is the guy who always wins, rather that players rarely win by taking a bonus besides Aussie and going from there.
So, I understand that you were trying to make a joke by urging me to bestow my wisdom upon you, but unfortunately, it seems that you really need it. So, somebody else gets Aussie and South America and you don't have a great drop in one of the others. What are your choices? You can battle everyone out of Africa, Europe, or NA. This should cost many armies and many turns unless you're super lucky. Meanwhile, the dude in SA is just stacking up guys and ready to smack you down the first turn you actually take it since you're not likely to have a ton of guys left over to defend it. So, considering that the guys who are holding SA or Aussie realize that playing nice with you is ultimately going to be a bad deal for them. Thus far, they've enjoyed the early arms lead due to the fact that they're the only one earning a bonus. However, if everyone just plays nice, the guy who just took the bigger spots is going to end up better off. So, right now, while you have few guys defending, they're going to hit you. So now you're still not earning a bonus and have lost still more men. And so on.
So, who do I want to be if I'm not the guy who's holding Aussie? I wan to be the guy hanging out in Ural or Afgan watching all this go down. Every turn, I'm only earning 3 guys, but nobody's hitting me because I have a big stack that's not protecting anything. Why is somebody going to come over and waste a bunch of armies whittling down a stack? I mean, you seem to rely on nobody bothering to hit a marginally defended bonus area, right? So, as often as it doesn't, I'll be among the leaders in total armies 10-15 turns into the game. Now, if everyone does play nice and builds up, this is going to backfire, and it certainly has. Fortunately, however because the guys who get the early jump realize that the waiting game is going to cost them that isn't typically the case. Thus, at least as often as you're going to win from one of the big spots, there's going to be some big battle somewhere and you're going to be able to pick up the crumbs. Perhaps the guy who first took Aussie is going to stretch himself too thin and you'll be able to poach it. Of course, if you end up winning, then you'll qualify for the stat of guys who ended up winning took Aussie as their first bonus.
None the less, it doesn't really matter what you or I think is the best place to start, because the numbers don't lie. That's really it. I'm sorry there's not more, but when you have evidence on your side, you don't have to embellish or grandstand.

2009 Rhys Syrah Horseshoe Vineyard - USA, California, San Francisco Bay, Santa Cruz Mountains (2/18/2014)
Sacrificed my last bottle of this wine way too soon, but it was what I wanted to drink after clearing the driveway yet again. I will have to bust into the 2010s if it keeps snowing! Anyway, this is very similar to the bottle I had last fall, with a very dark fruit profile, solid structure of acid and tannin, and a very persistent, meaty flavor profile. Sorry - no bacon. Delicious wine despite the lack of smoked pork.

First shown off at this year's Toy Fair, there'll soon be a line of action figures based not just on Halo, but on the Halo gear your little Xbox 360 avatars can wear.
Which should make these all kinds of awkward, but the end result is surprisingly endearing. The ones that are clearly avatars, I could take 'em or leave 'em, but the ones that just look like cute little Spartans are great.

Yourboi Bangs
Yourboi "Bstar" Bangs is an extraordinarily talented musician, poet and philosopher, known for his complex perspective on life, the universe and everything. As a wordsmith, he is renowned, and considered by many to be the successor to Shakespeare in this field, albeit, an ethnic one. This is shown by his use of emotive rhymes in his Christmas hit "A Christmas Story", with the lyric "Christmas coming real soon / Everybody have good afternoon". This also shows his talent for ironic juxtaposition and political satire, as it strongly contrasts with the ongoing Darfur genocide in the Muslim country of his origin, Sudan, which, funnily enough, does not celebrate Christmas, and most definitely does not have "good afternoon". This deeply emotional passage touches the heart in ways not mastered since the great bard himself. His lyrical style has been compared with John Milton, Wilfred Owen, and Wlliam Blake. His masterful take on the English language is seen in the frequent changes in spelling, oft compared again with Shakespeare, whose use of words was inconsistent, even managing to change the word there to thurr, so it is not he who is wrong, it is the English language which is at fault.
Let Me Take You To Da Movies and Breakthrough success[edit]
Bangs has reached prominance in the music industry breaking into the music scene with his hit song "Let me take you to da movies" which coolly beat the 4 million mark on Youtube without so much as a sweat, which has made him the Sudan's the only major export after asylum seekers. After this hit single, he recorded an album with the previously repected Sony BMG called "Hard 2 Be Up" which is an emotional plea for awareness of erectile dysfunction. The album has since been certified Argos.
Contribution to the Emo Rap Scene[edit]
With # Reh Dogg (singer-songwriter of "Why Must I Cry" - the quintessential emo rap record that any self respecting music lover must listen to - fame), he has become a pioneer of the Emo Rap movement for socio-political change, whereby the power of music will overthrow the diabolical despotic regimes of Central and Eastern Africa. The first song to be regarded as in this genre was "My life is hard" which shows his prominent lyrical genius, showing him as definitely one of the stand out talents to watch for over the coming years. The lyrics to My Life is Hard are thought provoking and do much to speak out against social injustice, corroborating with the view perpertrated in "Im going to da ghetto" (another of his powerful pieces) which calls at the Australian government to do more for the purpose of social integration of cultures.
His massive success can be measured in his 2522 facebook friends. If you are really interested, go here.

The Final Murder

Year of Publication:

Sub Genre:
Police Procedural
Book Synopsis
A talk-show star is found killed in her home, her tongue removed and left on her desk, cleaved in two. And when a second body, that of a right-wing party leader, is found crucified to her bedroom wall, Superintendent Adam Stubo is pulled from leave to lead the investigation. Is there a celebrity-slaying serial killer on the loose? His partner, Johanne Vik, agrees to help with the case but begins to see a pattern, one that traces back to her FBI days. If she's right, the pattern will end in the murder of the investigating officer - Adam.
Book Review
Adam Stubo and Johanne Vik are a couple that met in an earlier book in this series by Scandinavian writer Anne Holt. Vik is a profiler with a prickly nature, and a complicated past. Stubo is a Police Superintendent with a gentler, kinder nature and a tragic background. Vik is hard to develop a personal liking for, Stubo's much easier. In THE FINAL MURDER their personal partnership has progressed a long way - the leave that Stubo is called back from is his paternity leave - Johanne has just given birth to their daughter. Stubo and Vik live together with her daughter from a first marriage - a strange little girl who interacts with the world in a very different way. As you can probably tell from this description there is a lot of the personal in these books - the lives of these two main characters take up a large portion of the book.
Perhaps that is one of the things that fans of Police Procedurals are going to struggle with - just as the investigation seems to get moving, the action moves to something going on at home. And then back to the investigation. And into the mind of an unknown woman who doesn't seem to have anything at all to do with the bizarre murders going on. And then back to those murders - each increasingly weird, seeming to indicate that there is a serial killer of the famous out there. But that's the other thing with this book, as the focus shifts, the plot twists and turns and gets complicated.
So THE FINAL MURDER is different from a standard police procedural, and it's not a forensic book or one that particularly focuses on Vik's viewpoint - although her skills as a profiler are called into play. It's a combination of many of the expected elements from those books, with some elements of social commentary and some insight into a serial killer's mind. What it really provides is another example of an incredibly well written, engaging tale, from an author that is brave enough to develop a central character that it's not particularly likeable or even engaging, and allow them to evolve.

|News Release: September 16, 2010
|View Printable PDF Version
|Docket No: PL10-4-000
FERC modifies penalty guidelines for enforcement cases
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) today enhanced its enforcement program by modifying its Penalty Guidelines after carefully considering a broad range of comments and recommendations submitted by industry. The modified Penalty Guidelines will ensure fairness, consistency and transparency in all FERC civil penalty decisions.
The modified Penalty Guidelines will apply to penalties FERC assesses for violations of its requirements, though FERC retains discretion to depart from them when it deems appropriate, and Enforcement staff continues to have discretion to close investigations and self-reports for violations that do not warrant sanctions. The modified Penalty Guidelines will apply to violations of the Reliability Standards, but not to the Commission's review of notices of penalty submitted by the North American Electric Reliability Corp.
FERC affirmed its use of the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines as an appropriate model for the penalty guidelines. The Commission said the Sentencing Guidelines provide an effective analytical model that fits Commission purposes because they focus on the same factors that are at the heart of FERC's enforcement authority, such as the seriousness of the violation and efforts to remedy the violation.
The modified penalty guidelines will base penalties on the same factors as those in existing enforcement policy statements, but will be applied with more focus by assigning specific and transparent weight to each factor. Organizations will now know with more certainty how each factor will be applied.
Among other things, the modified Penalty Guidelines:
- Reduce the base violation level for reliability violations from 16 to six;
- Eliminate individualized assessments of the monetary value of losses of load that result from reliability violations, but use the quantity of load lost, in megawatt hours, as one measure of the seriousness of a given violation;
- Give partial compliance credit to organizations that have effective compliance programs yet do not meet every requirement listed in the Penalty Guidelines;
- Unbundle the mitigation credits for self-reports, cooperation, avoidance of trial-type hearings, and acceptance of responsibility; and
- Limit violations for misrepresentations and false statements to instances of intentional acts or acts carried out with a reckless disregard for the truth.
The modified Penalty Guidelines will apply to all future violations and any pending investigation where FERC's Enforcement staff has not entered into settlement negotiations. Enforcement staff will convene a technical conference one year from implementation of the modified Penalty Guidelines to discuss how they have worked in practice and to invite comments and questions from industry on their implementation.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - MIT men's soccer received an at-large bid to the 2013 NCAA Division III Tournament on Monday afternoon. The Engineers will travel to Williamstown, Mass. to face Western New England University on Thursday, Nov. 14 at host Williams College. The game will be played at 11:00 a.m.
After earning its first regular season title in a decade and the rights to host the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Tournament, Tech made it to the finals after advancing over the Coast Guard Academy in penalty kicks, 5-4, in an exciting, aggressive semifinal game on Saturday afternoon. The following day, MIT fell to No. 2 seed Wheaton College following a Lyons goal in the 79th minute.
This will be the Engineers second straight NCAA appearance, after earning an automatic bid to last year's tournament when they won their first-ever NEWMAC title, and their fourth overall, receiving at-large bids in 2003 and 2008.
The Cardinal and Gray, who are led by seniors Andrew Fijan (West Chester, Pa.), Matthew Monheit (Abington, Pa.) and Jonathan Tebes (Hamden, Conn.), ended the regular season with a record of 13-4-2. Wheaton is the only other school that will be representing the NEWMAC in the 61-team bracket.


text: The battles of Cold Harbor were two American Civil War (1861-65) engagements that took place about 10 miles northeast of Richmond, Virginia, the Confederate capital. The First Battle of Cold Harbor, more commonly known as the Battle of Gaines' Mill, was part of the Peninsula campaign of 1862 and resulted in a Union defeat, as Major General George McClellan (1826-85) was forced to abandon plans to march on Richmond. Confederate General Robert E. Lee (1807-70) secured another victory two years later, in June 1864, at the Second Battle of Cold Harbor, one of the most lopsided engagements of the war.

4:44 Last Day on Earth
In a large apartment high above the city lives our couple. They're in love. She's a painter, he's a successful actor. Just a normal afternoon - except that this isn't a normal afternoon, for them or anyone else. Because tomorrow, at 4:44 am, give or take a few seconds, the world will come to an end far more rapidly than even the worst doomsayer could have imagined. The final meltdown will come, not without warnings, but with no means of escape. There will be no survivors.
As always, there are those who, as their final cigarette is being lit and the blindfold tightened, will still hope against hope for some kind of reprieve. For a miracle. Not our two lovers. They - like the majority of the Earth's population - have accepted their fate; the world is going to end.
Starring Willem Dafoe, Shanyn Leigh, Natasha Lyonne, Paul Hipp

Rethinking Education Governance Session II: Traditional Institutions in Flux
February 24, 2012
This panel calls into question the ideal of local control. Its panelists—including Jeffrey Henig, Frederick M. Hess, Kathryn McDermott, and Kenneth Wong—will investigate the rise of mayoral control, the growth of interstate collaboration, and the role of the state and federal governments in education. Discussant Margaret Goertz will prod panelists to explain these shifts--and what they think each means for education in the twenty-first century.

LEWISTON, Maine - The MIT men's tennis team traveled to Bates College on Saturday for a non-conference match as part of the Bobcats' spring-season opener. No. 20 Bates defeated the University of Southern Maine 9-0 in the morning before MIT came away with a 6-3 win in the afternoon in Merrill Indoor Gymnasium.
The Bobcats started out with a 2-1 lead over the Engineers after doubles play.

MIT surged back in singles play, winning in five of six matches, including freshman Brian Oldfield's rout of senior Zach Fenno at No. 6 singles [6-0, 6-4].
Bates (1-1) next plays at Babson on March 5 at 5 p.m, while the Engineers (5-0) host the Fighting Scots of Gordon College on March 18 at 4 p.m.

Don JennisonStatements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Sarmite Bulte Liberal Parkdale—High Park, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to inform the House of the passing of one of my constituents, Don Jennison. Don was a committed activist for many causes both in my riding in the city of Toronto and across the country.
I first met Don in his role as a founding member of world 19, a community group that grew out of the campaign against the rushed amalgamation of the city of Toronto. Throughout the years, I had several meetings with world 19 and Don was always one of its most committed and passionate spokespeople. His concerns covered a broad spectrum of issues, from neighbourhood development to maintaining a fully public health care system.
I always found Don to be a challenging, well-informed and dedicated advocate for the causes in which he believed. This concept of public service from a private citizen is commendable. In this sense Don Jennison serves as an exemplar of the public spiritedness to which we should all aspire.
I wish to offer my sincere condolences to Don's family, his friends and his community. His passing leaves many lives emptier and diminishes the quality of our public discourse.
Conservative Party of CanadaStatements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Mark Warawa Conservative Langley, BC
Mr. Speaker, the Conservative Party is the government in waiting and stands for what Canadians want.
Conservatives believe in honesty and accountability, not Liberal corruption and scandal.
Conservatives believe in the Canada Health Act and the right to access publicly funded health care, not a Liberal health care mess created by 12 years of Liberal mismanagement.
Conservatives believe in clean air, clean water and a healthy environment, not Liberal mismanagement where raw sewage is dumped into our oceans and much of our air is polluted.
Conservatives believe in the protection of Canadians, the right to live in safe communities. Dangerous criminals will serve their sentences in prison, not our neighbourhoods.
Conservatives believe in lower taxes, not Liberal waste.
Canadians want a government that keeps its promises. The Liberals have lost the right to govern this great country. Canadians want a Conservative government now.
Liberal GovernmentStatements By Members

Roger Gaudet Bloc Montcalm, QC
Mr. Speaker, the Liberal government is a tainted government and no longer deserves public confidence.
It lacks vision and has insulted the intelligence of Quebeckers by thinking it could buy their conscience. The people of Quebec are not prepared to forget.
When we are elected, we come here to serve the public. The Liberal government has instead chosen to work for its own personal gains in utter disregard of any moral obligations. By hiding the truth, the Liberal government has worked against Quebec and against Canada.
The Liberal government has lost every speck of integrity, no longer deserves to govern and must stop clinging onto power.

Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to bring to the attention of all members a very important issue to the people of my riding of Bonavista—Gander—Grand Falls—Windsor which is the food fishery.
This opportunity allows me to pay tribute to the hard work of Beaton Keats and his brother Tony, who started the Dover food fishery committee. They have heard from the entire island of Newfoundland and also Labrador about this very serious issue that concerns the cherished cultural right of fishing for cod to provide for the dinner table.
In fact, the committee has managed to collect 14,395 names for this cause and this cultural right of Newfoundland and Labrador.
Government of CanadaStatements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Jeff Watson Conservative Essex, ON
Mr. Speaker, the people of Essex understand that we need an election. We need an election to get rid of a corrupt and scandal ridden Liberal government for a clean Conservative government.
We need an election because the Liberal government is emptying the treasury, $22 billion in spending announcements since the Prime Minister appeared on TV begging for his political life. We cannot afford a 10 month pre-election campaign.
We need an election because the Liberal budget was bad and the new NDP budget is even worse. There is no auto policy and high taxes on auto makers, no aid for Essex farmers, no new money to fix our border congestion, and no rollback of the brutal 70% Liberal tax hike on Canadian seniors collecting U.S. social security.
We need an election because the Liberal government has lost the confidence of this House. The Liberals have lost the moral, financial and constitutional authority to govern. We need an election now.
Asian Heritage MonthStatements By Members
May 11th, 2005 / 2:10 p.m.
Susan Kadis Liberal Thornhill, ON
Mr. Speaker, the month of May is Asian Heritage Month. It acknowledges the significant contributions of Asian Canadians to Canada's rich cultural history.
In Canada our cultural diversity strengthens the country in a measurable way. Asian Heritage Month is an ideal occasion for all to celebrate the beauty and wisdom of various Asian cultures across Canada.
Today in Ottawa we will celebrate the launching of the Taste of Asia Festival 2005 as part of Asian Heritage Month. The festival is highly successful and promotes the awareness of Asian communities across cultural exchanges.
The success of the event is in large part due to Dr. Ken Ng, a constituent of mine, who is the chairman of the Taste of Asia Festival as well as the Federation of Chinese-Canadians of Markham. Dr. Ng is highly regarded throughout my community and across Toronto as a tireless leader of the Chinese community and other communities. He is always promoting peace and harmony.
On behalf of my constituents I would like to thank all Asian communities for their part in making Canada the role model for diversity and multiculturalism it is today.

Alain Boire Bloc Beauharnois—Salaberry, QC
Mr. Speaker, last night, a motion calling on the government to step down was passed in this House.
With that vote, the Bloc Québécois has confirmed its commitment toward Quebeckers to defend the best interests of Quebec.
To do otherwise would have meant the Bloc Québécois was condoning the action of a government that denies the Quebec difference, that refuses to recognize the fiscal imbalance, that ignores the urgent needs of the unemployed and that scoffs at Quebec's constitutional jurisdictions.
To do otherwise would have meant the Bloc Québécois was condoning a corrupt regime that did not hesitate to pig out at the public trough.
To do otherwise would have meant the Bloc Québécois was condoning a government that, for two weeks now, as a last ditch effort, has been throwing around billions of dollars to try to hang on to power.
The Liberal government does not have the legitimacy or the moral authority to govern. Today we are vehemently denouncing it.
AgricultureStatements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Dominic LeBlanc Liberal Beauséjour, NB
Mr. Speaker, the supply management system has provided Canadian farmers, particularly dairy and egg producers, with stability and fair pricing for decades. However, our much vaunted supply management system is now being undermined to the detriment of hardworking Canadian farm families.
The government needs to act decisively to protect this essential Canadian value. My cousins Richard and Guy LeBlanc operate a very successful dairy farm in Memramcook, New Brunswick. Their father before them began this now high-tech business decades ago. Our government needs to defend these hardworking men and women and other farm families by refusing to lower tariff rates, by maintaining effective border controls, and by not allowing protein substitutes to circumvent these rules.
I believe the government needs to also immediately invoke article 28 of GATT to control these already damaging imports. This has to be done quickly before further imports damage our market.
Canadian farmers need our unconditional support.
Drug StrategyStatements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Randy Kamp Conservative Dewdney—Alouette, BC
Mr. Speaker, crystal meth is a dangerous drug that is devastating the lives of countless young Canadians and putting our communities in peril.
I am pleased to rise today to applaud the premiers of the western provinces and northern territories for their recent decision to declare war on this highly addictive street drug. Realizing that it will take a united approach, the premiers agreed to convene a meeting of western health, justice and public safety ministers in June in Regina to develop a concrete plan to improve enforcement, public awareness and treatment. That plan will be brought to the national first ministers meeting in August.
Congratulations to the western premiers. This epidemic requires all levels of government in all areas of the country to work together toward a solution that will make a difference. We here in Parliament need to join hands with the western premiers in this battle with crystal meth and do our part. We should not only applaud the western premiers, we should commit ourselves to an effective national drug strategy that will save lives.
The BudgetStatements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Raymond Simard Liberal Saint Boniface, MB
Mr. Speaker, I am astonished by the many groups and individuals who have contacted my office to indicate that the budget must be adopted and implemented. Groups such as the Association of Manitoba Municipalities, seniors, environmental and day care groups, parents with young children, students, and constituents as a whole are counting on this Parliament to deliver the budget.
What is at stake is funding for health care, defence and security, international assistance, support for seniors, strengthening aboriginal communities, early learning and childhood development initiatives, affordable housing, and delivering on a new deal for cities and communities.
Canadians elected this Parliament less than a year ago and expect the government to deliver on its mandate and that is exactly what we are doing.
I suggest the Leader of the Opposition put aside his personal ambitions and cut short his quaint little relationship with a party that has but one objective, to split this country apart. He should do what is best for Canada and support a budget that Canadians clearly want.

Mr. Speaker, the body of another murdered woman was found near Edmonton just a few kilometres away from where three other women have been found since 2003. In Winnipeg this past weekend, the body of another sex trade worker was found in a dumpster. In Vancouver at least 69 women are reported missing and presumed dead.
These women are vulnerable to violence because they have been pushed to the edge of society. My colleague from Vancouver East was instrumental in creating the subcommittee on solicitation, which is looking at ways to ensure that sex trade workers are protected the same as all Canadians.
Poverty can force women into addiction, homelessness and prostitution. Aboriginal women are among the most vulnerable. Throughout Canada, more than 500 aboriginal women have gone missing or been murdered over the last 30 years.
This Mother's Day more than 300 people participated in the Sisters in Sprit march in Winnipeg, focusing attention on the plight of women who are missing and murdered. How many more women will be murdered or go missing before Canadian governments move to action?

Randy White Conservative Abbotsford, BC
Mr. Speaker, an election is imminent and this is the last time I will speak in the House of Commons. I want to take this opportunity to thank the citizens of Langley, British Columbia for their support and the citizens of Abbotsford, British Columbia for their support over the last 12 years.
Without their active participation in the politics of our country, there would be no victims' rights or sex offender registry in the Criminal Code. Together we worked hard on bringing the issue of drugs to the House of Commons, fought SE2 for cleaner air and dealt with the devastation of the avian flu.
I want to sincerely thank my staff, my children, Jason and Trena, and most important, my wife, Marty, for standing behind me. I wish all my colleagues the wisdom to come to this place as Canadians working together for the common good, and I certainly hope we see an election that sees that motley group of people over there removed.

Marc Boulianne Bloc Mégantic—L'Érable, QC
Mr. Speaker, the Liberal government is hiding behind rules of procedure in order to avoid admitting that it no longer enjoys the confidence of the members of this House.
While it refuses to call a general election, the Liberal members are acting as if they were in the midst of an election campaign, wasting no time in using that tried and true election strategy of doling out gifts.
Using taxpayers' money, this government will stop at nothing to distribute billions of dollars in order to buy votes. With a wave of its magic wand, it advanced $4.6 billion in investments in exchange for the NDP's support. The Prime Minister rubbed his magic lamp and produced $5.75 billion to try to buy votes in Ontario.
This Prime Minister is a sad spectacle of a man clinging desperately to power. The time has come.
The Prime MinisterStatements By Members
2:20 p.m.
Dean Allison Conservative Niagara West—Glanbrook, ON
Mr. Speaker, day after day the Prime Minister continues to stand before this House demeaning the democratic rights of Canadians. Last night was the final straw. He has ignored the founding principle of our country, democracy.
In ignoring the non-confidence in the House, as expressed in the House by last night's vote, the Prime Minister has confirmed two things. He has most definitely lost the moral authority to govern and it is his intention to continue to run the country as a Liberal dictatorship no matter what the voices of Canadian people state they want. It would appear that the Prime Minister has forgotten that it is this House that represents Canadians, not he or his party or his inner circle.
It is time the Prime Minister realized that Canadians will not stand for being stolen from, lied to and having their democratic rights trampled on. It is time for the Prime Minister to stop dithering and stop desperately clinging to power. Government is not about legacy. It is about democracy. The voices of Canadians must not be ignored. It is time for the Prime Minister to acknowledge that the House has no confidence in the government. It is time he realized that Canadians have no confidence in him.
Parliamentary PrivilegesStatements By Members
2:20 p.m.
Paul Szabo Liberal Mississauga South, ON
Mr. Speaker, by far the most important right accorded to members of Parliament is the exercise of freedom of speech with complete immunity. That being said, with rights come responsibilities.
The consequences of abuse of privilege can be terrible. Innocent people can be slandered with no redress available to them and reputations can be destroyed. Regretfully we have had recent instances with the member for York West and the hon. senator with his conflict of interest. Both of these have been found to be totally unfounded.
We also now have allegations coming out of the Gomery inquiry which have imputed criminality before all the facts are known. All of these cases are motivated by political opportunism and not as a matter of urgent or pressing necessity.
My view is that allegations without all the facts for political opportunism are an abuse of privilege which brings disrepute not only to this institution but to all parliamentarians.
Standing Committee on Public AccountsOral Question Period

Stephen Harper ConservativeLeader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, in recent weeks we have learned that suitcases stuffed with illegal cash were used to fund Liberal candidates, present Liberal staffers were paid under the table with laundered money and laundered money was funnelled to Liberal campaigns.
Because the government is under a cloud of corruption and now under a constitutional cloud as well, could the chair of the public accounts committee tell us why none of this was revealed to the House and to Canadians last year?
Standing Committee on Public AccountsOral Question Period
2:20 p.m.
John Williams Conservative Edmonton—St. Albert, AB
Mr. Speaker, the answer is that the Prime Minister never wanted the facts on the table. He shut down the committee and called an election last year, even though he said that he wanted the facts on the table. He set up the Gomery inquiry with no authority to assess blame or say who did wrong.
The Prime Minister made sure that this was a whitewash and the public accounts committee could never get to the bottom of the sponsorship scandal.

Stephen Harper ConservativeLeader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, we have just learned from the Gomery commission that phony employees and secretariats were invented on paper in order to launder money and fund the Liberal Party, and that judgeships were awarded to so-called Liberal Party volunteers.
Can the chair of the Standing Committee on Public Accounts tell us why this information was not made public last year?
Standing Committee on Public AccountsOral Question Period
2:20 p.m.
John Williams Conservative Edmonton—St. Albert, AB
Mr. Speaker, as I said, the public accounts committee was doing everything it could to get to the bottom of the sponsorship scandal and find out who was carrying these bagfuls of money around and who was getting the bagfuls of money.
However, the Liberal majority on the committee at that time were dictating from whom we could hear. They only wanted to bring forward Liberal friendly witnesses. That is why the public accounts committee did not do the job last year. That is why the Prime Minister shut it down and called an election. The Liberals want to do the same again, and that is wrong.
Government of CanadaOral Question Period

Jay Hill Conservative Prince George—Peace River, BC
Mr. Speaker, commenting on the historic passage of last night's motion of non-confidence in the government, Professor Andrew Heard, one of the leading authorities on the conventions of the Canadian Constitution, stated, "If a government loses a confidence vote it has only two choices: to resign or to call an election".
Will the Prime Minister heed this determination by Professor Heard and either immediately table his own motion of confidence today or will he resign?

Paul Martin LiberalPrime Minister
Mr. Speaker, this morning I gave the reasons as to why a confidence vote on the budget should be held next Thursday. I had set those reasons out very clearly. In fact, Patrick Monahan of Osgoode Hall has confirmed that the actions the government has taken are the right ones.
In his remarks following my statement, the Leader of the Opposition gave other reasons as to why I was adopting this attitude. I have to say that the Leader of the Opposition goes too far. I would simply ask him to demonstrate better judgment. If we are to have civility, he should set the example.
Government of CanadaOral Question Period
2:25 p.m.
Jay Hill Conservative Prince George—Peace River, BC
Mr. Speaker, the person who is going too far is the Prime Minister who will not uphold democracy in the House.
Professor Heard also went on to say in his writing, "The wording of the motion certainly conveys enough of the essence of confidence that the government should, at a minimum, respond to its passage with its own clearly worded motion of confidence".
Will the Prime Minister listen to this finding and that of others and either table his own motion of confidence today, now, immediately, or will he resign?

Paul Martin LiberalPrime Minister
Mr. Speaker, since we are quoting experts here, perhaps I also could quote the chairman of the public accounts committee on these issues. What he said is that there is no use going to the polls with rumours and innuendoes. There are all kinds of rumours and innuendoes flying around about what is being said at Gomery. Why do we not wait until we get all the facts about what has been said at the Gomery commission before we think about an election? Now there is an expert.

The Kentucky Derby and Kentucky Oaks are notorious for their parade of some of the showiest headpieces around. What started as an elite custom (men and women of the upper-class were expected to wear a hat outside of the house) has morphed into a grand show of symbolic reverence for the traditions of the past. The Kentucky Derby and Oaks are host to some of the largest and most diverse displays of hat-donning visitors in the world. The styles of hats worn range from fashionable and classy to that of absolute hilarity and flippancy. There is also superstition involved in choosing the perfect hat, as many Downs-goers believe the hats improve one's luck of choosing the winning horse. Below are some pictures of Kentucky Derby and Oaks hats.
(pics by Velo Steve)
The sun shines bright in the old Kentucky home,
Tis summer, the people are gay;
The corn-top's ripe and the meadow's in the bloom
While the birds make music all the day.
The young folks roll on the little cabin floor
All merry, all happy and bright;
By'n by hard times comes a knocking at the door
Then my old Kentucky home, Good-night!
Weep no more my lady. Oh! Weep no more today!
We will sing one song for my old Kentucky home
For the old Kentucky home, far away.
The history of this song dates back to the 47th running of the Kentucky Derby, after which The Courier-Journal wrote in their May 8, 1921 edition: "To the strains of 'My Old Kentucky Home' Kentuckians gave vent their delight. For Kentucky triumphed in the Derby." This article referred to the victory of the Kentucky-owned Behave Yourself in the 47th running. Though it is still unclear exactly when the song was performed in its early years, the song has been performed since 1936 (with a few exceptions) by the University of Louisville Marching Band as the horses make their way to the starting gate. The song was composed by Stephen Foster in the mid-1800's.
The Mint Julep has been the traditional adult beverage of Churchill Downs for almost a century. Early Times Kentucky Whisky has been a part of the tradition as well, as the Whisky distiller has been a part of the official Derby Mint Julep tradition for 18 years. If you cannot find the Early Times Mint Julep Ready-to-Serve Cocktail at your local retailer, you can make your own with this traditional recipe:
The Early Times Mint Julep
Make a simple syrup by boiling sugar and water together for five minutes. Cool and place in a covered container with six or eight sprigs of fresh mint, then refrigerate overnight. Make one julep at a time by filling a julep cup with crushed ice, adding one tablespoon mint syrup and two ounces of Early Times Kentucky Whisky. Stir rapidly with a spoon to frost the outside of the cup. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint.
Below is a video that will instruct you how to make a "quickie" Mint Julep. Disclaimer: the bartender in the video uses Jack Daniels for the Julep and calls it "bourbon" when it is actually just a whiskey. A true Mint Julep uses a Kentucky bourbon, not a Tennessee whiskey.

any more doubts???

Here are a couple of pics from yesterday at SPI North Flats, wind was direct offshore around the 11mph range with some lulls in the 7mph. FL v1, 200lbs all-up suited/wet rider, intermediate, LF kaos 136, outgoing tide, 23m lines. I was the only one staying and gaining upwind close to shore with a properly trimmed FL v1. There was a guy on a turbine with a door type board that did a few tacks earlier, walked back to shore and then buggered off. Have not tried the v2 but given that it is higher aspect I expect it to perform even better.OceanAdventures wrote:It seems that the more I read about light wind kites, that there is usually two different perceptions of light wind.
I was out the other day on a very light 7 to 9 mph day. Only two people out. Me and a guy with a 2012 Blade Fat lady. He was on a surfboard and I was riding a Glide 149.
His kite ended up was in the water and had to swim back, and I was riding both the Core Riot 19 and the Slingshot Turbine.
Because he too so long to get back I didn't get a chance to try his kite, but watching him struggle showed me a lot. In 10-12 knots, I can ride any light wind kite, and Ill admit faster kites are going to be more fun, but guys in my area who want to ride more days, they want the best light wind kite that gets them up in the lightest of winds, and right now the two kites out of all the ones I've tried and seen, are the Turbine followed by the Cort Riot 19m. Kites on my list to try are the Ocean Rodeo Flite, and I would be interested in the upcoming no strut Air Rush.
Maybe you could expand on that statement? The Slingshot Turbine IMO an excellent kite. It would do everything you would need it to do.Oldnbroken wrote:The Turbine I flew was awful.
