CBC.ca | The Sunday Edition | RCMP - Organ Donation - Howard Shore: "It has not been a good year for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

Or for that matter, a good three years or a good five years.

Scandals, low morale, falling public confidence, internal bickering, have all conspired to rock the RCMP to its foundations.

All of which has been dumped in the lap of the force's new top cop.

Bob Paulson is promising leadership and accountability. He is known within the force as a "cop's cop," but he wants to be remembered as a "citizen's cop."

RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson joined Michael from Ottawa."

Zenith Watches Rebalanced

Zenith Watches Rebalanced: "1865 and 1,546.

Those are, respectively, the founding year of Swiss watchmaker Zenith and the number of first-place chronometer competitions they've won. Almost unknown in the USA due to sharing a name with a consumer electronics company, Zenith is one of the small number of companies to have their own movements, or manufacture. In particular, their chronograph series 'El Primero' powered the Rolex Daytona from 1988 until 2000, as well as Tag Heuer Calibre 36, Panerai OP IV, Ulysse Nardin and others. They also have the 'Elite' movement, which is an in-house chronometer-grade timekeeper with date complication. Price for the pieces isn't bad actually."

From Nunavut to Lourdes : Pharyngula

From Nunavut to Lourdes : Pharyngula: "Eric Dejaeger is a Catholic priest and pedophile who benefited greatly from church policy: when it was learned that he was a child-raping monster, the Catholic Church did the upright, moral thing and kept him on as a priest, but simply shipped him off to the Canadian north where he'd only be raping the Inuit. When the law caught up with him even in that remote place, he fled…and guess where he found shelter and employment? Back in the arms of Mother Church, of course."

Memories of Fox Main

Memories of Fox Main: "HALL BEACH AND ROWLEY ISLAND - FOX MAIN AND FOX 1
Rowley Island was located about 50 miles slightly N of E of Hall Beach. It was the location of the Aux Site, FOX 1. This was the only location (I think) on the DEWline where two Aux, or an Aux and a Main site, did not have an I-site in between - there was only water in between. So the geography of the location demanded a slightly different configuration of equipment than usual. As I mentioned earlier, the I-sites usually housed the Doppler transmitters and the adjacent M or A-sites would house the corresponding receivers for each link. The solution arrived at in this instance was to keep the configuration at the A-site standard, ie, two receivers, and Fox Main would substitute for the missing I-site and house the transmitter. Hence the reason for this kit in the TTY repair room."
