 the FLQ was a large, powerful organization. The kidnapping put tremendous pressure on the young premier who turned to Ottawa for help.
The federal government sent in the army to protect politicians and important buildings. For Pierre Trudeau, a lifelong champion of individual rights, it was a defining moment. In one exchange with CBC reporter Tim Rafe, Trudeau displayed an iron resolve.
Reporter: "Sir what is it with all these men with guns around here?"
Trudeau: " There's a lot of bleeding hearts around who don't like to see people with helmets and guns. All I can say is 'go ahead and bleed' but it's more important to keep law and order in this society than to be worried about weak-kneed people who don't like the looks of..."
Reporter: "At what cost? How far would you go? To what extent?"
Trudeau: "Well, just watch me."
As the country watched, events continued to unfold in Quebec. On October 15, three thousand people gathered at Paul Sauvé Arena to show support for the FLQ's separatist ideas. The FLQ's lawyer, Robert Lemieux, fired them up.
"We're going to organize, choose our ground, and WE WILL VANQUISH."
All signs indicated that the FLQ was a powerful force in Quebec. Bourassa and Montreal Mayor Jean Drapeau urged Ottawa to invoke the War Measures Act.
"What else can I do?" Bourassa reportedly told a colleague. "I personally know a great number of the people who will be arrested... I know that my political career is over. The economic recovery, the foreign investment, the 100,000 new jobs, all that has just gone up in smoke."
On October 16, Trudeau invoked the War Measures Act, which suspended basic civil rights and liberties. It allowed police searches and arrests without warrants, and prolonged detentions without charges and without the right to see a lawyer. It was the first time in Canadian history the Act was used during peacetime.
That morning the police arrested 405 people including Quebec singer Pauline Julien.
"They didn't ask us anything," Julien remembered. "I refused to stay in the living-room during their search. I told them: You are in my house, I'm going with you everywhere. They didn't behave that badly, they weren't as brutal as I have head they were elsewhere."
Julien's partner, leftist journalist Gérald Godin, was also arrested.
"Why was I in jail?," said Godin. "If only they had questioned me, I might have had an inkling. What had I said? What had I written or published?"
Some of those arrested under the War Measures Act were kept behind bars for 21 days - the full period allowed under the Act - but most were released after a few hours without being charged. Julien and Godin were detained for eight days, then released without charges.
The day after the first arrests, the tide turned for the FLQ. On the night of October 17, an FLQ communiqué led police to a car parked near St. Hubert airport. In the trunk was the body of Pierre Laporte. He had been strangled to death.
It was the first political assassination in Canada since the murder of Thomas d'Arcy McGee 102 years earlier. Laporte's death would mark the beginning of the end of the FLQ as sympathy abruptly shifted away from the group.
On November 6, Bernard Lortie was arrested when the police raided the hiding place of the Laporte kidnappers. Three members escaped the raid but were captured in late December. Paul Rose and Francis Simard received life sentences for murder. Bernard Lortie was sentenced to 20 years in jail for kidnapping. Jacques Rose was convicted of being an accessory after the fact and sentenced to eight years in jail.
After two months of captivity, James Cross was released as part of a deal, which allowed five kidnappers to leave Canada. Over the years, all of the exiled FLQ members returned to Canada to face trial. They were all convicted of kidnapping and sentenced to jail terms. A sixth Cross kidnapper remained in Montreal and was arrested in July 1980 and convicted of kidnapping.
Several years later, after extensive investigation, it became apparent that the FLQ was not the major paramilitary organization many had believed. It was an informal group, organized in small, autonomous cells, whose members dreamed of a separate and socialist Quebec. At the time of the October Crisis, the group had no more than thirty-five members.
The FLQ ceased activities in 1971.The University of website, noting during a four-year period many of the activities allegedly took place in the players' dormitory.

Louisville officials said they learned of the allegations in late August and immediately notified the NCAA.
Cardinals Coach Rick Pitino said the situation caused sleeplessness when he first found out and said that he tried to conduct his own investigation before being rebuffed by the school's compliance office.
"To say I'm shocked, I just can't fathom, can't believe it," Pitino said. "My heart's been taken out of my body and is broken.
"It's mind boggling to me how all this could go on," he said. "I've read that the statement that the publishing company put out and it almost got me sick to my stomach."
Pitino said McGee denied the allegations in a brief conversation.
"I spoke to Andre one time," Pitino said. "I just asked him a few questions. I don't want to speak for him. I'll let Andre speak for himself. At no time did he own up to any of what's being printed right now.
McGee left Louisville in 2014 to become an assistant at Missouri-Kansas City. That school put McGee on paid leave Friday night and issued a statement saying the allegations were being taken seriously.
"The University of Missouri-Kansas City is aware of today's reports alleging wrongdoing by a current UMKC employee while he worked at another institution," a release from the school said. "We have already initiated our own review of the matter.". Powell, 43,.
Scott Cox, an attorney retained by McGee, told the Louisville Courier-Journal that McGee "told us that he is not guilty of these allegations, that he has never supplied a prostitute or escort to a player or recruit at the University of Louisville." Cox told the newspaper that McGee knew Powell but there "was certainly nothing nefarious or inappropriate at all" and that Powell "is interested in making money.".
Louisville retained Chuck Smart of the Compliance Group, which assists schools in NCAA cases, to review the claims.
"Chuck is the quarterback of this entire project," Louisville Athletics Director Tom Jurich said. "Chuck knows he's the most well-respected person, probably, within the NCAA and the NCAA has been involved every step of the way. We're an open book.".
Both Jurich and Pitino said they think that money was the woman's motivation for writing the book. Powell was paid for the book, but said in an interview with the Journal that she felt it was important to tell the story.
The publishing company said it paid investigators and Pulitzer-Prize winning reporter Dick Cady to vet Powell's story, and based much of it on journal entries, photos and text messages.
The allegations came on the eve of Louisville's first Red-White scrimmage. The Cardinals reached the NCAA East Region final last season.C’est tout frais. Il manque plus que la preview de Windows 8.1 mais c’est pour la Build à partie de demain.
BenoîtS – Simple and Secure by Design
This question always come during presale or at the beginning of the design phase of the DirectAccess project. My answer is always the same. Technically it’s difficult to estimate bandwidth used by users. Some reasons are purely technical (how many companies exactly know network traffic for his applications?). With Windows 8 and Null encapsulation for IPHTTPS, we can now estimate that DirectAccess users will generate the same amount of traffic compared to a traditional VPN/SSL VPN.
But there is another reason. Users become addict to DirectAccess and consume more resources. We need to prove that. With Windows Server 2012, we have many new capabilities in reporting. I started with the Get-RemoteAccessConnectionStatistics command and generate a script that calculate incoming and outgoing bandwidth consumed for each users as illustrated bellow :
The URADAUserStatistics.PS1 script is available at this location. The script will generate statistics for all users during the period provided in input.This first version was tested in the following scenarios :
Note that this version of the script is not yet compatible with Multisite deployments.
It’s now much more easier to estimate how much bandwidth my DirectAccess users consumes. This point must be considered seriously in a DirectAccess project.

A MVP colleague of mine challenged me a few days ago about an URA DirectAccess activation process failure in NLB. I already wrote a blog post on that scenario. I tried to reproduce his bug on my platform and succeeded. I was surprised. Why the wizard is asking me for IPv6 addresses? It’s not a HLB deployment.
After providing required information, activation started but ended with the following error. What parameter is incorrect. After some research, I found it’s the “Set-RemoteAccessLoadBalancer” Powershell command that fail.
