text: mark84 30 Posted December 1, 2011 Thought I'd start a new thread dedicated to the Bulldozer/Llano refresh chips. Some pics to refresh ourselves: Piledriver is a little way aways yet, but Trinity isn't far off... http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/cpu/display/2...h_Document.html AMD to Start Production of Desktop "Trinity" APU in March - Document. AMD to Commence Production of A-Series FM2 Fusion APUs in March, 2012 Advanced Micro Devices plans to initiate manufacturing of its next-generation code-named Trinity accelerated processing units (APUs) for desktops in March, 2012. Initially, the company will target low-power systems and sometimes in May in plans to start manufacturing of high-performance next-gen Fusion A-series APUs. Staring from early and middle March, 2012, AMD intends to mass produce its A-series "Trinity" accelerated processing units with 65W thermal design power (TDP), according to an AMD document seen by X-bit labs. In early May, 2012, the chip designer wants to initiate mass production of A-series "Trinity" APUs with 100W TDP and higher performance. The 65W chips will belong to A10-5700, A8-5500, A6-5400 and A4-5300 families, whereas 100W microprocessors will only fit into A10-5800 and A8-5600 series. It is unclear whether AMD will launch all versions of its chips at the same time, or microprocessors with 65W TDP that will hit mass production two months earlier will be formally introduced earlier than the more powerful parts. Before releasing its highly-anticipated A-series "Trinity" APUs for desktop computer later in the year, AMD will refresh the family of its accelerated processing units with unlocked A8-3870K and A6-3670K "Llano" chips as well as A8-3820, A6-3620 and A4-3420 products in January, 2012. AMD did not comment on its plans since they are not yet made public. AMD's second-generation code-named Trinity APU for mainstream personal computers (Comal for notebooks and Virgo for desktops) will be made using 32nm SOI HKMG process technology at Globalfoundries. The APU will feature up to four x86 cores powered by enhanced Bulldozer/Piledriver architecture, AMD Radeon HD 7000-series "Southern Islands" graphics core with DirectX 11-class graphics support, DDR3 memory controller and other improvements. The chips will be compatible with new FM2 infrastructure. According to a slide that resembles those from AMD's presentations published by a web-site, AMD projects Trinity's Piledriver x86 cores to offer up to 20% higher performance compared to Husky x86 cores inside Llano. In addition, the newly-architected DirectX 11 graphics core will provide up to 30% higher speed in graphics applications, such as video games. The 20% speed improvement represents AMD's projections "using digital media workload" and actual performance advantage over currently available Fusion A-series "Llano" vary depending on the applications and usage models. AMD expects the new Trinity APUs to be not only faster than Llano, but also more available because of improved yields as well as because increased number of 32nm SOI/HKMG wafer starts starting from the fourth quarter. Improved yeilds will be nice for them. I think they've been struggling to match orders made for Llano. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

- 2014 regulations
Mercedes predicts three engine suppliers in 2014
- In Focus:
- Rule changes
Mercedes is expecting just three engine manufacturers to continue in Formula One when the new V6 turbo regulations are introduced in 2014.
The teams are set to switch from the current 2.4-litre V8s to 1.6-litre V6s in 2014 with a greater emphasis on energy recovery systems such as KERS. Ferrari, Renault and Mercedes are all developing engines under the new regulations, while Cosworth has remained quieter about its plans and newcomers PURE recently revealed to Autosport that it has suspended operations.
Mercedes motorsport boss Norbert Haug believes the sport will enter the new era with just three engine brands on the grid.
"I assume and think and am pretty sure that we will have three and no more than three," he said. "But with three I think we can get the job done."
When asked if Mercedes is therefore looking to increase the number of teams it supplies, Haug added: "We need to evaluate the situation. We are in discussions with the three manufacturers together - still on cost issues and bringing the costs down. And this will also be the object, who will supply whom."
Bernie Ecclestone said he was "sure" three manufacturers would be enough to supply all 12 teams in 2014, although the original intention of the regulations had been to attract more big-name manufacturers.
However, Racecar Engineering reported last month that the 2014 regulations for the LMP1 class in endurance racing could change to allow F1 engines to compete at the famous Le Mans 24 Hours alongside 5-litre turbos. Audi and Toyota are currently competing in LMP1 with Porsche set to return in 2014, but it may be more likely that F1 engine manufacturers use LMP1 as a test bed for their F1 engines.

Ontrack Data Recovery Announces 2006 Top Ten List of
Data Loss Disasters
Ontrack Data Recovery™, the largest, most experienced and most
technologically advanced provider of data recovery products and services in the
world, has unveiled its annual Top Ten list of remarkable data loss disasters in
2006. Taken from a global poll of Ontrack data recovery experts, this year's
list of data disasters is even more incredible when you consider that in every
case cited, Ontrack successfully recovered the data.
"This list demonstrates that data loss can happen in a number of different
ways, whether the cause is a simple accident or the result of extreme user
error," said Jim Reinert, senior director of Software and Services for Ontrack
Data Recovery. "No matter how catastrophic the situation may seem, it pays to
have your hard drive or storage device evaluated by a professional service like
Ontrack because chances are good that we'll be successful in recovering critical
data regardless of how it was lost in the first place."
The Ontrack 2006 Top Ten List of Data Disasters and Remarkable
10. Helicopter Hi-jinks – Employees of a global telecommunications company
dropped a laptop computer while working from a helicopter in Monaco. Ontrack
successfully retrieved vital files on the laptop and sent them through an FTP
server for a meeting in Hong Kong the very next day.
9. Wash the Data Away – On a flight from London to Warsaw, a
passenger packed his laptop and toiletries in the same bag. Unfortunately, his
shampoo leaked and flooded everything in the bag, including the laptop, causing
the hard drive to fail. In order to recover all of the data, Ontrack engineers
had to do some washing of their own – cleaning the hard drive and other
components in order to get the drive functioning.
8. Not a Jolly Occasion – British comedian Dom Joly,
presenter and co-creator of Trigger Happy TV, dropped his laptop, damaging a
hard drive that held five thousand photos, six thousand songs, half a book he
was writing and all of his old newspaper columns. Having read the tragic story
in a newspaper column written by Mr. Joly, Ontrack contacted him and was able to
recover everything.
7. Rescuing the Research – A leading UK research university
suffered a catastrophic data loss after a fire broke out in the computer science
department on a weekend morning, damaging computer equipment with smoke and
water from the fire department's efforts. Ontrack was called onsite to rescue
thirty computers and recovered more than a terabyte of data.
6. Beware of Bananas – A customer left an old banana on the
top of his external hard drive which proceeded to seep its contents into the
drive, ruining the circuitry. The drive would no longer run, but Ontrack was
able to clean the drive and repair the circuit board so the drive would spin
long enough to recover his data. The banana, however, could not be recovered.
5. Hard Drive Speed Bump – It happens every year, but people
continue to leave computers and hard drives in the path of moving vehicles. This
year alone, Ontrack recovered from a laptop that was run over by a "people
mover" at the airport, and several external hard drives stuffed in a backpack
that was backed over by a truck.
4. Tenth Time's the Charm – A man reformatted his hard drive
not once, not twice, but ten times before he realized there was some valuable
information he needed recovered. Luckily for him, it only took Ontrack one try
to recover the information.
3. Finding Nemo – A customer returned from the vacation of a
lifetime in Barbados to discover that he couldn't access any of the snorkeling
photos he took on his new "waterproof" digital camera. It seems the camera
wasn't as waterproof as advertised, so Ontrack had to rescue all of his prized
tropical fish photos.
2. Squeaky Drive Gets the Grease – A university professor
heard a squeaking noise from the drive of his new desktop computer. To solve the
annoying problem, he opened the case and sprayed the inside of the drive
with WD-40. Although successful in stopping the drive from squeaking, his
actions also prevented the drive from booting up. Ontrack got the drive working
again and recovered his data.
And finally, the number one most remarkable data disaster of 2006…
1. Sock it to Me – Although the circumstances of the
original data loss were unremarkable, the problem was intensified when the
customer shipped his drive to Ontrack in a pair of dirty socks. The old socks
didn't provide the necessary protection during shipping and the resulting damage
made the recovery more challenging than normal. Next time, he'll stick with
bubble wrap, but in the meantime, Ontrack successfully recovered his data too.
"Data can be recovered from computers, servers and even memory cards used in
digital devices by either working on the computers or media/storage devices in
our labs and cleanrooms, or by using our patented Remote Data Recovery™
technology," added Reinert. "However, individuals and companies can avoid the
hassle and stress this can cause by backing up data on a regular basis and
establishing a relationship with a professional data recovery company before
disaster strikes."

Vol. 2 nº 1, janvier 2014
Claude Debussy and the American "March King" John Philip Sousa, it may seem, lived not merely on different continents, but also on different planets. Rejecting a two-hundred-year-old Western tonal tradition and conventional formal concepts, Debussy's impressionism ostensibly represents the exact opposite of Sousa's popular style, as characterized by relatively simple and unambiguous cadential harmony and a symmetrical syntax analogous to rhymed and metered poetic language.

Here are some of my very favorite improvisations.
The first characters Bud needed to create on his own were Chris and Martin Kratt, the hosts of the PBS show Zoboomafoo. Here's what Chris and Martin look like in real life:
And here's what they look like at our house,
as played by the Fisher Price family dad and mom. (NB: The mom always plays the role of Martin. I'm not sure, but I think it's because Chris wears the green shirt.)
Bud is also a fan of Moose and Zee, the cartoon hosts over at Noggin:
Except that in Budland, the roles are played by a moose puppet and Norville, the bird from Clifford's Puppy Days:
Sometimes Bud likes to play with Smooch and Winslow, the marmosets from It's a Big, Big World, who look like this on TV:
And like this in Budland:
And, of course, we can't forget the ever-popular Curious George and The Man With the Yellow Hat:
as played in Budland by BJ (of Barney fame) and an anonymous stuffed monkey. (You may also take note of the clever roller skates on George's feet, created by Matchbox cars and twist-ties.):
Bud's current passion is the new Noggin program, The Upside Down Show, starring "brothers" Shane and David, whom (for obvious reasons, when you realize that you're looking at Shane on the right) Bud calls "Shave-it and Dave-it":
This is what they look like around here, where Zoboomafoo stars as Shave-it and Woodstock stars as Dave-it:
And, finally, the piece de resistance and my personal favorite, Charlie and Lola, as they appear on the BBC CBeebies website,
And as they as they appear in our bathroom (That's Charlie on the left):

Wizards lose close Game Two against Indiana
Pacers tie series with 86-82 win
Roy Hibbert broke out of his playoff funk with a season-best 28 points and nine rebounds, leading the Indiana Pacers to an 86-82 victory over the Washington Wizards on Wednesday night that tied the Eastern Conference semifinals at 1-1.
It was a stark contrast to Hibbert's abysmal showing in Monday night's loss - and most of this year's playoffs.
But after hearing 48 hours of constant criticism and continual questions, Hibbert responded with the kind of game Indiana desperately needed. He made his first four shots, dominated the middle and produced big basket after big basket.
Game 3 is Friday in Washington.
Marcin Gortat had 21 points and Bradley Beal added 17 for the Wizards.
Washington took a 77-74 lead with 5:01 left in the game. Indiana scored six straight and never trailed again.

Missing Lost Tuesday
It's a new episode tonight. There are only 2 new episodes left before the 2.5 hr season finale on Sunday May 23. And I am missing them. F-ck. As already noted, Lost brings me a considerable amount of stress. The show itself and its puzzles obviously but also not being able to watch while travelling and avoiding spoilers. Thank you for all your suggestions of where to stream um, legally and illegally. The bigger problem is the wireless. We have the sh-ttiest wireless luck, always, in Cannes. I will not be anxious about this today. I will not be anxious and worry until there's something to worry about. I will be hopeful about wireless in our apartment. I will WILL our wireless to work. And I will continue to hate Fake Locke, Smokey Locke, Dick Locke.
How could they last week? (Stop reading now if you can't handle the spoiler)
How could they, in the space of 10 minutes, kill off 3 characters...and all minorities!? I am still mad. See? Lost preoccupation takes up a lot of my time. Enough.
Here's Evangeline Lilly leaving Letterman last night after promoting the show. She is so beautiful. The styling however has never been the best.
Also attached – Matthew Fox and his wife in Portofino, Italy the other day shooting a watch ad with Eric Dane, Cate Blanchett, and Kevin Spacey (not pictured) among others. He's gorgeous. Lately Jack has been getting more and more gorgeous. What is it? Is it because I think he's the Saviour?
Oh and one more thing. I found this shot of Fox and Josh Holloway at the premiere of Lost 6 a couple of months ago. Not really sure what's happening here but, um, I like it.

Re: Bulkhead Doors (Warning: 6mb GIF)
Doors look very good. And I never thought of the benefits of bottom opening door. Knew about getting trapped with downward closing doors but never thought about flowing liquids or pesky animals.SimoRoth wrote: ↑Tue Jun 04, 2013 2:41 pmYeah this was agonized over at length. But a bottom opening door has some advantages.
Things like it stopping flowing liquids or pesky animals faster. Plus the whole getting trapped because the power went out with the 5 tonne door down seems like a poor design feature.
Plus it's visually interesting, feels much better this way.

"Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar," is one of those famous aphorisms often mistakenly attributed to Sigmund Freud, who was keenly interested in all forms of sexual expression, especially the unconscious. But the founder of psychoanalysis would have met his match in a Pennsylvania school board that is really, really interested in boobies.
In a 7-1 vote, the Easton Area School District voted on Tuesday night to ask the United States Supreme Court to decide whether a bracelet carrying the message, "I (heart) Boobies" is obscene and should be barred from being worn in schools. The bracelet, designed to build awareness of breast cancer, was banned by school officials and was challenged by two students in 2010.
Despite the ban, the girls, Kayla Martinez, then 12, and Brianna Hawk, then 13, wore the bracelets to a middle school, and were suspended. The American Civil Liberties Union took up the case and sued.
After nearly three years of litigation about students' free speech rights, the U.S. 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals rejected school district claims in an August 9-5 ruling that the slogan was lewd or disruptive. Tuesday's action by the school board paves the way for the nation's top court to decide whether the word "boobies" is constitutionally protected.
Schools Supt. John Reinhart told the Express-Times that he fully backed the school board's decision to move ahead with an appeal.
"The Third Circuit Court has compromised administrators' abilities to intervene in what is and what is not appropriate in school," he said to the newspaper.
In court proceedings, Reinhart had called the bracelets "cause-based marketing energized by sexual double-entendres."
The only board member to vote against the appeal said the school district should have given up on the issue.
"I think we should be done with it. Let it go. We lost 20, 30 times, I don't even know anymore," Frank Pintabone said.
But board member Baron Vanderburg called it a difficult decision and said the board did a lot of "kicking and screaming" before it came to an agreement on what to do next.
"We as a whole feel like it was the right thing to do," he said.
Easton is one of several school districts around the country to ban the bracelets, which are distributed by the nonprofit Keep a Breast Foundation of Carlsbad, Calif.

Amidst the thousand legends of El-Hazard, the tale of the Sleeping Guardian is often recounted; not on its own, but as an ending to a long epic of love and hatred, retribution and redemption. The Sleeping Guardian exists, forever unchanging, reminding all of heroes long dead and places that are dust.
The Sleeping Guardian waits, ready to battle any threat to all El-Hazard. Anyone, from venerable king to peasant child, can Awaken the Guardian, but only at a terrible risk. Of the five times the Guardian has been Awakened, twice has the Guardian destroyed those foolish enough to call without sufficient reason. This ensures that the Guardian is approached only in truly dire peril, which is what she prefers.
You see, she would much rather live in her dreams, her memories, and the world she has created within them, than deal with the pain of the present…

In October, we informed you that Puerto Rico would be voting on whether to become the 51st member of the United States of America. It appears the majority of voters there may get their wish, but only if Republicans don't drag their heels and block the process for purely political reasons:
VOTERS may have voted for more of the same in America on election day, but in Puerto Rico they opted for decisive change. In a two-stage plebiscite—the island's fourth referendum regarding its relationship with the United States—54% of the electorate voted to change Puerto Rico's current status as a self-governing "commonwealth", and 61% wanted the new form of government to be full American statehood.
[…] The vote will not have immediate consequences. Congress would have to pass a law admitting Puerto Rico for it to become a state. With a fiscal squeeze looming at the start of 2013 lawmakers will have their hands full in the coming months. And the island's government is unlikely to push the issue aggressively following the election as governor of Alejandro García Padilla, who supports a continued commonwealth.
Moreover, the Republican-controlled House of Representatives has little incentive to address the topic. According to exit polls, 83% of boricuas on the mainland voted for Barack Obama. Statehood would add two Senate seats and a House delegation of five, the same size as Oregon's and probably as reliably Democratic.
Unless the island holds another vote that yields a different result, however, Puerto Rico has now officially requested statehood. If Democrats retake the House in 2014, they would be well-advised to try to add a 51st star to the flag.
As a libertarian-republican with Puerto Rican friends dotted across the country, I say give the people what they voted for.
After all, once Puerto Ricans become full-blown hard-working Americans subjugated by the IRS like the rest of us, they will certainly not be so enthused about the Democrat Party's nonsense core tenet of redistribution of wealth.
Update: A commenter here at HoT aptly points out that all is not as it appears.
José writes, "Puerto Ricans did not vote for statehood. When you add the votes in favor of independence as well as the blank votes which were casted [sic] in protest, along with those also casted [sic] in protest in favor of a sovereign comonwealth [sic], statehood just got the typical 45%."
He continues, "Now, you're probably asking yourselves why would anyone vote a certain way in protest? The answer is very simple: the Commonwealth option was NOT incuded [sic] in the referendum."
The status referendum results do indeed show that while a majority chose to change the status of their country, a minority actually chose statehood with 480,749 casting blank protest ballots. "55% of the residents of Puerto Rico REPUDIATED statehood."
"They just want to fix what they have so they can sustain their own economy without having to endure the indignity of Washington's handouts." I couldn't agree more.
And yes José, I like spending words (especially for making corrections and clarification), I hope you'll oblige a few more.

Canon EXPO 2011 Shanghai and its Future Plans in Imaging and Branding
Canon EXPO 2011 Shanghai China
The Canon EXPO, held every five years, ended its four-city tour after New York, Paris and Tokyo last year to finish in Shanghai, China from 19 to 22 May 2011. Held at the Shanghai International Convention Center, the event was a showcase (or a reminder somewhat) of where Canon was (the very first 1934 Kwanon camera, 1956 Cine 8T 8mm camcorder and its first 1959 SLR camera the Canon Flex were on display) and where Canon is today.
We put up a short highlights video of the EXPO on HWZ TV last week, but in case you've missed it, here it is again:
While the bulk of the exhibition covered just about everything we know of Canon as an imaging company today -- yes, it started off with the IXUS and PowerShot booths, PIXMA and SELPHY printer series, EOS DSLR cameras and lenses (including the highly coveted and recently announced EF 200-400mm f4L IM USM 1.4x Extender telephoto lens), Business Office solutions (ImageRunner series as well as distribution/printing solutions (part of its acquisition of Dutch firm Océ last year)), Medical solutions (X-ray and ophthalmic equipment) and remote surveillance cameras (a network version, which allows you to remotely control and view via a networked portable device like a tablet is planned for 2012), the EXPO has revealed the company's future goals, at least in a sense of where it's charting its course.
For instance, at an EXPO segment called Imaging Future, the company demo-ed a prototype but functioning 4K 8-megapixel multipurpose camera that employs a 2/3-inch CMOS sensor and a redesigned electronically controlled lens drive system. Not only does it shoot 4K moving images in access of 60 frames per second, it has a 24-480mm zoom lens (35mm equivalent), 20x optical zoom and aperture settings of F1.8 to F3.8. It is also encased in a bio-based plastic instead of certain petroleum-based plastic.
The resulting videos and images we saw (displayed on both a professional grade 30" 8 Megapixel-supported LCD screen and a 4K-resolution projection screen (powered by four WUXGA WUX4000 LCOS projectors). Other future technologies we saw included the Mixed Reality showcases, where visitors donned head-mounted glasses and viewed an augmented reality world to interact with. Different experiential scenarios included entertaining dinosaurs, a 3-dimensional cut-out of a DSLR camera, photocopier and the ability to use a special pen and palette indicators to draw, mix and match a shape or object in virtual space. The applications for this is tremendous for the creative and education industries.
In our conversations and interviews with Canon executives, we learned that the company has no firmed plans for mirrorless technology-based cameras at the moment (something that's on everyone's minds however). What it does want to do is explore the possibility of making the DSLR camera body smaller and enhance features on existing imaging technologies like HD video recording and more intuitive navigation on cameras and camcorders.
The company is also embarking on an aggressive branding campaign across specific growth and emerging markets like China, India, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam. According to Mr. Hideki Ozawa, President and CEO of Canon China (and President of Canon Asia Marketing Group), Canon should move beyond just being known as an imaging company. He wants users of Canon products and services to view Canon as a personable friendly persona. This shift in branding strategy beyond just products and services is perhaps the Japanese company's biggest challenge, in light of increased competition in mindshare among the various industries and countries it is in (or has plans to enter).
On the printer side, we learned that Canon does believe in wireless printing becoming more mainstream. What this means is that direct printing via the cloud, from portable devices like the tablet and notebook to the printer would become more prevalent and overtake printing from wired desktop systems. While no new products were announced at the EXPO, we have an inkling that this development will be something that's primary to Canon's product line-up soon.
According to Mr. Katsuichi Shimizu, Canon's Managing Director and Chief Executive for Inkjet Product Operations, the firm isn't too worried about product cannibalization among multi-function printers and single-function scanners and printers. According to Mr. Shimizu, he sees both as catering to the different spectrum of the market, and already, there are plans to begin production for additional inkjet printers at its second factory in Nakhon Ratchasima in Thailand this year. Canon currently produces about 20 million printers and scanners a year, and it is expected that the market for Asia will be 3-4 times that of America or Europe.
In his keynote speech, Mr. Fujio Mitarai, CEO and Chairman of Canon Inc., explains the importance of China as a driving force for the global economy with high 2010 growth of 10.3% (the first time since 2007). For ASEAN countries, Mr. Mitarai expects them to grow at an annual rate of 6% a year as exports recover and demand increases.
Since he became President of Canon in 1995 and later becoming CEO in 1997, Mr. Mitarai and his team have introduced various five-year plans to the company that changed the company inside out. While Phase I (1996-2000) saw the introduction of conveyor belt-based assembly and cell-based production systems in factories, Phase II (2001-2005) saw the beginning of product competitiveness in the form of 3D-CAD systems and in-house production of key components.
Phase III (2006-2010), which ended last year, was a strategy to reinforce its existing businesses in light of the shrinking global market due to the recession in 2009. The company is now moving into Phase IV (2011-2016), which will see the company expand its business domains and transform common manufacturing functions. One of these is to draw production closer to major consumption areas, including Europe and Asia, expand its range of products and adopt greater social responsibilities as a good corporate citizen.
Besides allocating management resources (people, goods and capital) to push growth in China and the rest of Asia, Canon will also set up a new research center in the United States to focus on cutting edge technologies while promoting diversification of business products via its new acquisition, Océ, the Dutch-based business printer solutions company.
For Asia alone, Canon Asia Marketing Group plans to grow into a US$10 billion company by 2012, and a US$20 billion company by 2015.

Jewish Genealogy in Argentina
Welcome to the fascinating world of the Jewish Surnames history.
This website was conceived as a center to share the knowledge that each family has about the origin and meaning of its own Jewish surname.
Anyone is allowed to post his knowledge and tradition.
It is NOT our intention to be a scientific or academic website, but a place to express and discuss the familiar traditions that tells the origin and meaning of surnames and probably to find distant relatives. This website is basically a discussion forum, with more than 55,000 threads. Each thread is a particular Jewish surname. Anyone can post a comment for the different surnames. The Moderator will verify each post to keep the order and to preserve the only rule which is to respect each other.
We have recently added the usefulness of consulting the database of immigrants to Argentina, burial records in the cemeteries of Buenos Aires and inland, census of Jewish agricultural colonies, Italian Jewish surnames, Jewish obituaries, passenger lists, Jewish marriages, Buenos Aires Jewish Directories and others. Through these amazing databases you will surely find relatives who have emigrated to Argentina.
Our Library
We have recently added the following books to our library:
- Alexander Beider: A dictionary of Jewish surnames from the Russian Empire
- Alexander Beider: A dictionary of Jewish surnames from the Kingdom of Poland
- Alexander Beider: Handbook of Ashkenazic given names and their variants

Canadian Alliance
Cheryl Gallant Canadian Alliance Renfrew—Nipissing—Pembroke, ON
Mr. Speaker, I will be splitting my time with the member for St. Albert.
Mr. Speaker, first of all I congratulate the government for demonstrating, in actions, a contempt and display of arrogance through the $1 billion Liberal gun registry that we in the official opposition could never put into words. There is the out of control spending, the blatant disregard for Parliament, so blatant that even members of the government party are pulling at their leashes because of the abuse the party puts on them, the abuse of the Commons using the Senate for a money bill, and the times that closure has been used. The list goes on and on.
Now I know why the government has been slowly disbanding our military. It fears the soldiers will join the protestors when the revolution finally comes, which brings us to the purpose of the Liberals' gun control policy, which is to disarm law-abiding citizens.
I shake my head in disbelief at the parliamentary proceedings before us today. The government is driven to trample on the rights of ordinary Canadians. There are no cost savings in BIll C-10A.
The government has admitted that the gun registry is not about cost. If it were, it would not be planning to throw another $1 billion, $2 billion, or $3 billion-plus down the same hole that it threw the first $1 billion. This is not a gun control issue; it is a government out of control issue.
Bill C-10A is being proposed as a partial fix to the severely flawed Bill C-68. The problems with the gun registry are beyond fixing. The gun registry must be scrapped. Try as the Liberals might, this issue is not going to go away.
In February I hosted a gun rally at a town hall meeting. It was to give information to the public on the gun registry. With minimal advertising and scarcely a week's notice, word spread quickly in a rural riding that relies on personal contact to spread the message. I stood in awe as the huge Renfrew armouries filled with people from Arnprior, Calabogie, Hardwood Lake, Quadville, Wilno, Griffith, Barry's Bay, Foymount, Eganville, Douglas, Renfrew, Pembroke, Beachburg, Palmer's Rapids, Cormac, Combermere, Dacre, Killaloe, Westmeath, Golden Lake, Madawaska and every place in between.
Hunters represented their camps, which means they went back to the 12, 15 or 20 members of their group to report on the meeting. Just that one meeting represented thousands and thousands of Canadians. With the hon. members for Yorkton--Melville and Blackstrap in attendance, we witnessed grassroots democracy as the crowd swelled. Angry citizens were upset with the tired and out of control Liberal government that insists on treating law-abiding citizens as criminals.
Speaker after speaker got up to vent their frustrations with a government that attacks rural Canadians and our way of life. Rural people are smart. We see right through shallow people and we will not forget. The Sam Slick, fast talking Liberal city slickers may be able to fool the docile urban herds about the government's gun registry, but rural Canada is not buying their story.
Guess what? Urban Canadians are waking up. It will be interesting to see how they respond to the national identity cards with which the government plans to register all citizens. It will be interesting to see the shoe on the other foot. Only then will they realize what rural Canadians have had to put up with regarding the gun registry.
I do not feel sorry for the justice minister. If he had dealt with the mess left to him by the first two ministers in a forthright manner, Canadians might be forgiving. It used to be that the justice portfolio was considered to be the glamour portfolio. Now the justice portfolio is the kiss of death. Just ask the health minister and in particular the industry minister what it has done to their political careers.
Speaking of dashed political careers, ask the former MP for Renfrew—Nipissing—Pembroke what his docile, slavering defence of Bill C-68 got him. Defeat. Defeat will come to the rest of the Liberal caucus on this issue too. Rural people are smart and we do not forget.
The industry minister has given rise to a new political phrase that should be added to the dictionary in its next revision. It is called gun registry math. For those who are unfamiliar with the term, the definition of gun registry math is where a government program is stated to cost one amount when in fact it costs 500 times more. When the term gun registry math is used, it will apply any time the government makes a promise on the cost of a particular program. When looking up the meaning of gun registry math, people are advised to look under the section government screw-ups.
Our town hall meeting asked me to take a message to the Liberal government in Ottawa. It asked me to deliver it loud and clear: scrap the gun registry.
Government members in rural ridings in Ontario, such as Haliburton—Victoria—Brock, Parry Sound—Muskoka, Hastings—Frontenac—Lennox and Addington, Nipissing, Leeds—Grenville and Prince Edward—Hastings should take note that their constituents called me about the rally. Those who were not able to attend begged me to arrange a town hall meeting in their ridings because their own members refused to speak out against the gun registry. They assured me that anywhere I went across rural Ontario, and this is particularly true in northern Ontario, huge crowds similar to the one we had in Renfrew would come out to protest the Liberal gun registry.
Constituents will be watching the gun registry amendment vote very carefully. A no show for the vote will not cut it either.
The Minister of Justice and his colleagues want to push the fantasy that opposition to the gun registry is being driven by the official opposition. Nothing could be further from the truth. Opposition to the Liberal gun registry is being driven by the people.
If I am not speaking against Bill C-68, I receive hundreds of calls urging me to speak up on it again. On no other issue do I receive more encouragement to fight the government than on the issue of the $1 billion wasted on the gun registry. We are listening to Canadians.
Recently the Solicitor General visited my riding to attend a party function. He was warmly greeted on a frosty valley night by a spontaneous demonstration. The protesters outnumbered the party supporters 10 to 1. They let him know how they felt about him, his party and his leader: scrap the registry.
The Solicitor General even had the nerve to tell some of the demonstrators that he agreed with them on the registry, that it was a colossal waste of money, but he refused to say what he would actually do about it.
Honour and integrity mean saying the same thing in public that one whispers in private. If the government truly feels it has the support for the registry, it should prove it by allowing a free vote. Let the power of logic rather than the threat of the whip determine the outcome. Above all, do not bully the members on how to vote.
Members of the government party are many things but they are not tools of the opposition. Why is it so hard for the government to believe that its own members' opposition to the registry is genuine and heartfelt? Members of Parliament were elected to take a stand on the issues of the day and I look forward to the vote.
While the government House leader will bluster and push the gun registry amendments, I hope he realizes that the people of Glengarry—Prescott—Russell hate the government's gun registry as much as rural Canadians in the rest of Ontario and Canada do.
I am truly surprised that the Prime Minister has taken such an ideological stance on this issue. In the past he has been quite adept at stealing Canadian Alliance policies when it suited his purpose, as adept as he has been at stealing the woolly headed ideas of the NDP. A pragmatic politician would have dropped the registry long ago.
I have to thank everyone who has called, written, come to the rallies and otherwise let their opposition be known to the Liberal gun registry. We will continue our opposition. We will have as many rallies as it takes to scrap the gun registry.

1:50 p.m.
Svend Robinson NDP Burnaby—Douglas, BC
Mr. Speaker, I am sure the constituents of the member for Renfrew—Nipissing—Pembroke care deeply about tough and effective gun control. I am also sure her constituents would want to ensure that screening of applicants for guns, providing safety training, offering an online registry to help the police do their jobs, efforts to combat gun smuggling, provide stiff sentences for those who commit crimes using guns, efforts to promote safe storage of firearms and individual accountability for gun ownership are promoted through the program.
However, what the Canadian Alliance is suggesting in its motion is that every penny of money that goes toward the gun control program, not just for the registry but funds that go toward licensing and the screening of gun applicants who may have a history of violent crime or a history of domestic violence, the Canadian Alliance wants to cut off all that funding as well. That is what the Alliance Party is suggesting to Parliament.
Members are agreeing that we should take away the tools from the police to screen gun applicants who may have a history of violence. I say that is an outrageous attack on public safety in this country. That would be the effect of the Canadian Alliance motion. It ignores the pleas of groups like the Canadian Resource Centre for Victims of Crime, the Canadian Police Association, the Canadian Public Health Association, the Canadian Medical Association and many others.
My question for the hon. member is the following. Why is it that the Canadian Alliance later today is seriously suggesting that we take away every penny of money that the police would have to ensure that those who apply to use lethal weapons do not have a history of violent crimes or domestic violence? Why that abandonment of her constituents and the constituents of Canadian Alliance members?

Canadian Alliance
Cheryl Gallant Canadian Alliance Renfrew—Nipissing—Pembroke, ON
Mr. Speaker, the member who asked the question helps the government perpetuate the myth that gun control did not exist prior to the Firearms Act. The people of Renfrew—Nipissing—Pembroke, the people in the Canadian Alliance, the people who oppose the gun registry do want the safe storage and safe use of firearms.
Prior to Bill C-68, and then the Firearms Act, laws were already in place to screen people who were purchasing firearms. Rules were in place for the safe storage and use of firearms.
What people are against is the waste of money on a useless database of people, which the police cannot use because it is 90% wrong. It does not even include the vast number of people who actually own firearms.
In fact, the gun registry, if anything, requires people who have not answered the questions correctly or who the government just does not want to have registered to turn in their firearms. It is not helping from a safety standpoint whatsoever. It is just having the people give up.

Joe Jordan Liberal Leeds—Grenville, ON
Mr. Speaker, throughout the course of the debate today we have had a tendency to sometimes get emotional, myself included. I want to ask this particular member a very specific question.
It is easy to sometimes oversimplify the issues. I will read back to her what she said on September 21, 2000, when she addressed a sportsman's club in Pembroke. She said "Are we going to go like lambs to the gas chamber?"
She talked about integrity and honour. Does she really want to say to Canadians that this is the greatest atrocity that has ever happened to mankind, or will she admit that perhaps she went over the top and will take this opportunity to apologize and distance herself from those remarks that she made?

Mr. Speaker, the gun registry does nothing to stop the criminal element whatsoever. People from the member's riding of Leeds--Grenville are calling our office because they cannot get any help whatsoever in terms of dealing with this. I look forward to going to his riding and hosting a rally just like we had in Renfrew--Nipissing--Pembroke so democracy can be brought to his riding as well.

Janko Peric Liberal Cambridge, ON
Mr. Speaker, ATS Automation Tooling Systems, a very successful company in my riding of Cambridge, was named business leader by the Greater Kitchener-Waterloo Chamber of Commerce.
Founded by Klaus Woerner in 1978, ATS makes automated production systems, precision components and solar powered products, and employs close to 2,000 people in Cambridge and Kitchener.
Klaus and his wife Anna were both recognized for their extensive community involvement, including support of local hospitals and Conestoga College.
ATS recently launched a new subsidiary, Spheral Solar Power, and is moving aggressively to make solar power more practical.
I want to congratulate ATS and the Woerners for their economic leadership and philanthropic contribution to the greater community.

Mr. Speaker, today we watch a leader humiliating his own people, a leader who will go to any length to maintain iron fisted control.
We watch him threaten his own people, intimidating them until they break and submit.
We watch as he uses those already brainwashed to roust out disloyalty and to hunt down dissidents.
We watch as he forces people to set aside what they know is right and to go against their own consciences.
We watch them acting against their better judgment, contradicting their own words.
We watch as untold millions and indeed billions are spent on a delusion.
Unfortunately, I am not talking about a foreign dictator. I am speaking about the Prime Minister in Canada today.
At 5:30 we will witness once again the spectacle of Liberal backbenchers quietly falling into line to support the ongoing disaster that is the gun registry.
Canadians must resolve now to change the government, to put members of Parliament in place that will stand for freedom, rights and responsibility. The Alliance stands ready to fill that void.
Niagara Peninsula Conservation AuthorityStatements By Members

Tony Tirabassi Liberal Niagara Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority that is located in my riding of Niagara Centre. Its mandate is to further the conservation, restoration, development and management of natural resources.
With the assistance of the federal government, the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority has, and continues to, restore the ecological health of the watersheds in the Niagara region, that being only one of the many rehabilitation projects it has undertaken.
It also maintains conservation areas that offer spectacular views, sparkling waterfalls, unique trails, fascinating rock formations and rare plants and wildlife.
I want to congratulate Andy Burt, Mary Stack, Andrew Mack, all the staff and tee board of directors. I ask that they keep up the excellent work.

Andy Scott Liberal Fredericton, NB
Mr. Speaker, New Brunswick residents are ready to act on climate change. Fifty-nine per cent, nearly two-thirds of respondents to a recent poll, said that they would be likely to buy a more fuel efficient vehicle in the next two years.
The Government of Canada, as part of its commitment to achieving its emission reduction targets under the Kyoto protocol, is helping these and other Canadians by working with the auto industry to make vehicles 25% more fuel efficient by 2010.
Even if a new vehicle is not in the picture, there are lots of ways to reduce emissions from transportation: drive less, use public transit, walk or bike whenever possible, when driving do not idle. It takes more fuel to idle for 10 seconds than it does to stop and start a car. Always check the tire pressure.
There are simple actions to reduce emissions and help Canadians reach our Kyoto targets.
Health ResearchStatements By Members

Shawn Murphy Liberal Hillsborough, PE
Mr. Speaker, I rise to congratulate two professors at the Atlantic Veterinary College at the University of Prince Edward Island.
Dr. Alastair Cribb, professor of Clinical pharmacology and Dr. Laurie McDuffee, professor of equine surgery, are the latest recipients of a federal government investment in health research from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research.
Between the two individuals, these professors received over $758,000 to fund their research projects.
Dr. McDuffee will use this money to continue her research in a cell based strategy to promote proper bone healing in horses. The outcome of her research will, hopefully, be applicable to human beings as well.
Dr. Cribb, who is also a Canadian research chair, will investigate why certain animals and people have adverse reactions to various drugs and chemicals. He hopes to help discover how safer drugs can be developed in addition to assessing the risk of chemical exposure. Much like his colleague, the results of this research will also be a benefit to human beings.
The recent support of the CIHR, coupled with the money set aside for the veterinary colleges in last week's budget, means that the Atlantic Veterinary College will be able to move forward with this kind of top notch, highly valuable research.

Mr. Speaker, this past Friday, March 21, I had the honour to host the Seventh Annual International Women's Day Breakfast in Burlington. Over 200 people, including some 20 high school students, joined me in celebrating the contributions and accomplishments of women in Canada and around the world.
Our guest speaker, a woman of incredible courage and strength, Elizabeth Grandbois, inspired everyone. Diagnosed with ALS in 1997, Elizabeth has worked tirelessly to raise awareness about this terminal neuromuscular disease which affects some 1,000 Canadians each and every year. Elizabeth's Concerts of Hope have raised over $750,000 for research and support for those who are afflicted.
Elizabeth's story reminded all of us that courage and unrelenting determination can bring hope to others. Each of us can make a difference.
I thank Elizabeth. She inspired everybody.

Mr. Speaker, all of the Mauricie is deliriously happy, particularly its hockey fans, because the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières Patriotes won their fourth university hockey championship this past weekend in Fredericton.
Coach Jacques Laporte was able to instill in his team an extraordinary competitive drive that no doubt made it possible for each member of the team to give his all.
What more can be said about the merits of goalie Éric Desjardins, who was selected best player of the championships, which pitted them against our Nova Scotian friends from St. Francis Xavier University?
Or about Alexandre Tremblay, last season's top player in Canada?
Throughout the season, assistant trainers Sylvain Beauchesne, Olivier Denis and Dominique Ducharme all worked tirelessly to get the best performance from each and every team member.
Bravo, Les Patriotes, and long may you reign. Your team is fully deserving of its name.

Mr. Speaker, I would like to speak of some of the high points of the Semaine de la Francophonie in Saint-Boniface.
On March 13, the Minister of Heritage and the Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs chose Collège Louis-Riel as the venue for announcing the first component of the Action Plan for Official Languages: education.
On March 18 and 19, I had the privilege of welcoming to Saint-Boniface His Excellency Boutros Boutros-Ghali, accompanied by the Secretary of State for the Francophonie and the Minister of Veterans Affairs. Their tour included a meal at Fort Gibraltar and visits to Maison Gabrielle-Roy and the Maison des artistes francophones de l'ouest, and culminated with inauguration of the Ronald J. Duhamel scholarship at the Collège universitaire de Saint-Boniface.
I would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate two prize winners from Saint-Boniface who were honoured at the Montfort awards gala. Charles Laflèche of Momentum Healthware was the winner of the "Communications/New Technologies" award for his enterprising spirit. The warmth of welcome of the Festival du Voyageur was recognized in the "Rapprochement" category.
At the gala for small and medium businesses, Franco-Manitoba was ably represented by four notable finalists: Émeuville, les Fermes Vielfaure, JOGO Canada and Momentum Healthware.
I am proud to say that Saint-Boniface is doing its share on behalf of the Canadian francophonie.

Mr. Speaker, the Canadian Police Association and the Police Association of Ontario represent thousands of front line police officers across Canada. They should be congratulated for their admirable leadership role in advancing public safety by calling on the federal government to institute a national sex offender registry, to reform the youth justice system, to toughen up our laws against organized crime and to reform our parole system.
The Canadian Alliance hopes that the police associations will also stand with the opposition in supporting today's motion calling on the federal government to determine the total costs of the firearms program, to provide a comprehensive cost benefit analysis for the program and to reduce funding to that program until this analysis has been completed.
Regardless of where Canadians stand on this important issue, it is important that all of us hold the Liberal government accountable for its spending of taxpayers' money.

Mr. Speaker, this past Sunday, amid all the glitz and glamour of Hollywood, Canadians once again proved we could compete with the best in the entertainment industry. Canadians featured prominently in several significant categories, including Nia Vardalos' nomination for best screenplay for the hugely successful, filmed in Toronto, My Big Fat Greek Wedding .
Canadian winners include parts of the team from the acclaimed picture Chicago , again filmed in Toronto. The academy gave nods to Chicago 's Gordon Sim for set decoration and David Lee for his audio work.
For me, the big win was Michael Donovan and his team at Salter Street in Halifax. This amazing company produced this year's best picture documentary, the critical and box office smash Bowling for Columbine .
Well deserved congratulations to one and all.

Since he was named to the team of finalists, his great talent as a singer and his stage presence have not gone unnoticed.
Wilfred is a terrific example of the fact that there is huge potential in New Brunswick and that with determination, dreams can come true. So, congratulations to Wilfred on his interpretation of Jean Batailleur by Zachary Richard.
May he take advantage of each moment at the academy and know that we cannot wait for his return in Acadia.
We are all very proud of him and want him to know that the riding of Acadie-Bathurst and New Brunswick are behind him all the way.
He is already a star to us. Good luck, Wilfred, and many thanks.

Mr. Speaker, Quebec's ice cream industry is suffering due to inaction by the federal government. In just seven years, this industry has seen its production drop by 86%.
Mass imports of a cream substitute, butter oil and sugar to be specific, from the United States and New Zealand, have dealt this industry a hard blow. And it is Quebec's dairy producers who are being hurt the most.
The chair of the Fédération des producteurs de lait du Québec, Jean Grégoire, estimates that Quebec farmers specializing in milk production are losing $300 million per year, due to this butter oil and sugar mixture.
In light of this situation, the federal government must amend the regulations so that this mixture is subject to tariffs as requested by members of the Fédération des producteurs de lait du Québec.

Every child fatality in Colorado — from accident to homicide — would be reviewed under proposed legislation lawmakers say could help identify more deaths by maltreatment and perhaps prevent future mortalities.
Under the current two-tier system, the Colorado Department of Human Services and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment review child deaths. But Senate Bill 255, introduced Tuesday and assigned to the Health and Human Services committee, would require both departments to review individual cases, coordinate in identifying trends and make recommendations for ways to prevent future deaths, said Sen. John Kefalas, D-Fort Collins, one of four Democrats sponsoring the bill.
"One of the things we are trying to address is to get those two systems aligned — get them integrated and communicating with each other," Kefalas said. "I think getting them more involved in case specific reviews will allow us to look at this complex issue more holistically."
In addition to investigations by state agencies, local and regional public health departments would be required to create child fatality prevention teams to review all child deaths in their jurisdictions.
Currently, the Department of Human Services reviews an average of 12 deaths a year, and only cases in which the child died of abuse or neglect and had contact with the child welfare system. In 2012, 11 children met that criteria; eight of those reports have not been released.
The Department of Public Health reviews an average of 350 child deaths each year, but the cases, which are not limited to abuse and neglect, are typically only categorized by cause of death to identify trends.
The proposed system would add intensive review of deaths among children who did not have contact with child welfare services, said bill co-sponsor Sen. Linda Newell, D-Littleton.
"Many of these children, potentially, we might have been able to catch before the even entered the system," Newell said.
For example, Newell said, if a child dies in a car accident, under the current law, the Department of Human Services would not review the death. But an individual review by a local team might reveal maltreatment by caregivers, such as failing to consistently use a car seat.
The Denver Post and 9News reported last year that inconsistent practices, a lack of training and large caseloads allowed abused and neglected children to slip through the cracks. Since 2007, 202 children have died of abuse or neglect in Colorado. Among those, 75 had parents or caregivers who were known to the child welfare system before their deaths.
The Department of Public Health worked with the bill's sponsors and will continue to watch the legislation as it moves forward, injury and violence prevention unit manager Lindsey Myers said in a statement.
"The child fatality review process helps communities identify opportunities to prevent future child deaths," Myers said. "Reviewing each death at the local level is considered best practice."
While in the past, the Department of Human Services was not required to review a death if the child had no surviving siblings in the home, the proposed law would remove that and other exemptions. The law also requires state review for children who were in the system within three years of their death, instead of two.
"This bill was just introduced and we are working closely with the sponsors on this important proposed legislation," Marc Mackert, director of the Department of Human Services' administrative review division, said in a statement.
Funding for the legislation is still being discussed, but there is a possibility that resources and personnel may be required, Newell said.
During a House committee hearing on Tuesday, Republican lawmakers worried about the $3 million price tag attached to a proposal to create a child abuse hotline. That bill must now be considered by the full House and Senate.

What's the best part of raising a family in Canada?
The change in seasons and the wide open spaces! I'm not a particularly athletic person, but we've always made the outdoors a big part of our family life. We go camping in the summer, head to a cabin in the winter, take hikes constantly, and visit conservation areas all the time. Plus we have friends who are farmers!
We've traveled a lot with our kids on missions trips, but I truly believe the most beautiful part of the world is right here at home.

RobotsJuly 15th, 2010
I've been building little robots for quite a few years now, but my main focus has always been BEAM Robotics. Things have slowly been changing over the last year though. I started out by ordering some PIC microcontrollers, and while I managed to do a FEW things, I found myself hating them after a while. The problem with the PIC is that the only easy way to program it is through windows, and everything else is just annoying. Personal opinion maybe? In my defense, the programmer I had only allowed for a serial connection.
Everything changed though, at a recent Maker Faire. I picked up one of the new Arduino boards and a Getting Started book. After I got home, I was up and running within just a few minutes. It's pretty amazing, actually. The Arduino guys have really done a great job in making a microcontroller that you can really use.
Anyway, back to the robots. I was recently at the local CVS and noticed a tracked, amphibious, R/C car. I bought two. I don't know about anyone else, but if I show up with a shiny new toy and tell my son that it's mine and I'm going to take it apart, it's a little disappointing for him. So I took it apart pretty quickly and this thing is pretty cool on the inside. Everything has a rubber seal so that water can't get in, and I really like the way it's constructed. That being said, I had to open up BOTH of them to switch the motor wires… the factory managed to wire them in reverse. I guess that's what you get for $14.99!
So I removed the top, and then went to work on getting rid of the excess electrics and plastic. I decided that there wouldn't be enough room to mount everything I'd like, so I started modifying it to allow for a better top. But what top do I use? I looked at some hardware stores for the material that would work, and I figured I'd just build something custom out of balsa, when (tada!) I found an altogether amazing alternative. I have an old tupperware bowl that was meant for organizing or somesuch. The lid didn't attach like a normal sealed container, but rocked back and forth. So without the lid, sitting upside down, it makes a great blue translucent cover. Sweet!
Next design move: I suddenly realized that I had an old NSLU2 sitting around that I don't use anymore. The possibility of having a robot that actually runs Linux was almost too much for me! Whoa! Unfortunately, it wasn't as easy as that. If I'm going to have Linux on board, I also want WiFi, and Python, and… a webcam, and… anything else I can cram in there!
SO… here's the plan: I'm going to have an Arduino running as the interface for the motors and sensors, connected to the NSLU2 through USB. The NSLU2 will have Python running, which will act as the brains of the system. I'll have a webcam and some sensors – I'll probably start with just infrared range finders at each corner. Python will talk with the Arduino and make decisions based on sensor data, and will send movement commands to it. I'm thinking I'll either setup an H-Bridge for the motors, or I'll use some old servo boards that I have laying around.
The second phase will be to build out some software to all for getting telemetry and controlling the robot when it's not running autonomously.
So much fun, right? I'll update as I make progress!

FairPoint wins 5-year contract for next-generation 911 system in Maine
PORTLAND, Maine (AP) � FairPoint Communications is ready to move forward with a five-year contract worth $32 million to provide the next-generation 911 system in Maine.
Following two appeals, the Public Utilities Commission awarded the contract for a third time to FairPoint on the day before Thanksgiving, and the window for filing further appeals passed on Wednesday.
FairPoint will provide the system and support for Maine's 26 Public Safety Answering Points, which answer 911 calls in their coverage area. The Emergency Services Communication Bureau oversees implementation and operation of the statewide Enhanced 9-1-1 service that FairPoint currently provides.
The process for the new contract was contentious, with Colorado-based Intrado and Maine-based Oxford Networks two appealing the PUC's decision in favor of FairPoint.
