Ann McCaig: Leading by example
Calgary HeraldPublished: Wednesday, January 02, 2013
No task is too difficult and no goal too lofty, when uber-philan-thropist Ann McCaig takes on a project.
Like many a kid raised under big prairie skies, McCaig isn't afraid of big dreams, big ambitions and a little - or lots of - hard work.
That work ethic combined with love of our city has led to McCaig becoming a pillar of the philanthropic scene.
Ann McCaig has worked for years to improve the city.
"Philanthropy is part of our heritage in Calgary," says McCaig, who has received a multitude of honours and awards for her charitable work. "Philanthropy doesn't just happen, it is intentional and it must be learned.
"We learned philanthropy from the generation that came before us and built this country," she adds. "They had great dreams and the courage to act on their dreams and a big part of the legacy they left behind was their example of giving."
McCaig's legacy grows every year. After moving to Calgary in 1970, she became intertwined with a variety of causes, including the Alberta Adolescent Recovery Centre, Calgary Zoo, Calgary Foundation, Banff Centre Foundation, United Way, Nature Conservancy of Canada, Bone and Joint Health Institute, Alberta Children's Hospital and the University of Calgary, where she became chancellor in 1995 and oversaw two major fundraising campaigns.
For 2013, one of several projects receiving her attention will be the Calgary Stampede Foundation, of which she became chair in 2011.
"The Stampede plays an essential role in our city by promoting a sense of community and heritage, a strong work ethic and an entrepreneurial spirit," she says.
This year the Stampede Foundation will focus on fundraising for expansion, which will lead to new facilities that benefit the entire community, says McCaig.
"Each of us has a responsibility to do what we can as volunteers, as philanthropists and as citizens to continue to build a city that is vibrant, safe and rich in opportunity so current and future generations will enjoy an even better quality of life than we do," concludes McCaig.

Spring gets chilly start in Bozeman

It's official, spring has sprung. But even with the sun it didn't feel too spring-like outside. With chilly, windy conditions and all the snow remaining on the ground.
We stopped in downtown Bozeman to ask folks if today's weather fit their idea of the first day of spring in Montana.
Bozeman resident Phil Serbo said, "Well, it looks like any other spring day in Montana."
Teddy Zerivitz was visiting Bozeman looking at Montana State University, saying, "It's good weather so far. A little bit cloudy. Hopefully the sun comes out in a little bit."
And Jimmy Talarico told us, "It could snow tomorrow. Who knows? But I'm walking outside and enjoying it. Loving it."

Finally, we reach a kind of resolution on our story. Shinny had spurned her dad, choosing to bring her doofy boyfriend to the game instead. As you recall, it went poorly. Now: a decision is made.
Shinny took her boyfriend to the hockey game. Boyfriend acted like a doofus. Shinny was embarrassed. That's all you need to know.
Now check out Rachel's gorgeous art.
We took a break for a few weeks for obvious (sad Caps) and not-so-obvious (Rachel graduated!) reasons, but we're back with fresh Shinny, and it could not be more appropriate.
If you recall last time, Shinny's boyfriend violated The Code. Now, much like the broader Caps fandom, Shinny has to deal with the aftermath. On the bright side, the Shoulder Angels are back!
At this point in the year, we all know what tension is about. The Caps-Rangers series is mostly a low-scoring affair, a goalie battle if you will. And in a goalie battle there is one matter that eventually comes up.
And there's one guy who spoils it for everyone.
This is the story of that guy.
With the best of intentions, Shinny takes her boyfriend to the game, where he proceeds to ruin everything. Continue Reading
Our hero chosen to bring her dopey boyfriend to the Caps game instead of her father. Now, we learn how Shinny, an avowed superfan, prepares for a big game — just like tonight's bout with the Jets. There are rituals, superstitions, and traditions that must be honored. Everything must be just right or else it will surely spell disaster for the team.
Previously on Shinny! Our hero got a pair of tickets to a Caps game and had to consult her shoulder angels to decision whom to bring with her. Today she decides.
Last time on Shinny, our hero got a pair of tickets to the Caps game and learned she had to choose between her boyfriend and dad who would come with her. We now join her– deep in thought, as she is visited by … well, you'll see.
Rachel has returned from parts unknown so Shinny! is back to continue our best story yet. Special thanks to Sfé for filling in for us while Rachel was gone!
When we last left Shinny, she had just procured two tickets to a Caps game. And now, the wrinkle.
I'm doing studying abroad, so this week's Shinny! is a guest comic by my good friend (and fellow hockey fan) Sfé M. This week we learn are certain things you don't say to hockey players, who are a superstitious lot.

An excellent effort of a challenging stage play. The cast was huge and there were many different scenes they had to depict with minimal stage props. My only complaints are about the audience members who provide numerous distractions like constantly talking to their children, taking cel phone picture, opening plastic snacks and soda cans, chewing on popcorn with their mouth open etc., which normally wouldn't be that bad but this cast does not use microphones so it makes it VERY hard to hear and follow Steinbeck's classic story.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
This is a list of social nudity places in Africa. The list includes nude beaches and naturist resorts, where people practise skinny dipping, naked bodysurfing or any other form of nude recreation.[1][2]
There are no beaches in South Africa where the right to bathe nude is protected. However, Sandy Bay and the Umhlanga Lagoon are two beaches where nudity is accepted and bathers are very unlikely to be prosecuted for simply being naked. The situation at the other beaches is less certain. Nudist beaches are by nature remote and secluded and it is unfortunate that in South Africa this makes them unsafe as criminals find them ideal for their purposes too. Nudists are advised to try to keep in big groups, singles and couples should exercise a great deal of caution if visiting the lesser known nudist beaches.

Pharrell Williams with new fragrance 'Girl' (WWD)
Pharrell Williams' foray into the beauty world is making us extremely happy over here at Grazia HQ, as the super-cool singer/rapper/producer has just broken the silence on his much-anticipated fragrance collaboration with Comme Des Garcons. When Pharrell first unveiled his plans for the new scent, we were seriously excited. After all, this marks the first time the fashion house has teamed up with a musician to create a fragrance. And heck, this isn't any old musician. We're talking the hottest man on the musical block.
Out in September, the new (and unisex, FYI) scent shares a name with Pharrell's second studio album, Girl, which rolled out in March. So, ahead of the fragrance launch, read on to discover the 7 things you need to know about the new scent…
1. It's a whole new spin on a unisex fragrance
Don't be fooled by the moniker—the heady wood, white pepper, and lavender blend is actually a unisex scent, and a pretty swanky one at that. As Pharrell himself said, "We just found another way to say unisex."
2. His love for perfume started with Ralph Lauren
In a recent interview, Pharrell admitted that his fragrance journey started way back with Ralph Lauren Polo, saying, "It was kinda cool to me."
A snapshot of the artwork to be displayed in the new 'Girl' exhibition (@pharrell)
3. …But following his teens, he didn't wear scent for 15 years!
4. The bottle is beyond swanky
In fact, the bottle, logo and packaging have all been designed by House + Holme, featuring bold, cartoonish artwork by artist Kaws, a close pal of Williams'.
5. The making of Girl was an easy feat for the singer
As Pharrell explains, "We had the best nose in Paris, I was working with the best brand- so there was not much of a struggle… I was working with the masters of the artistic universe."

6. The new scent will have its own art exhibition
Next week, an exhibition curated by Williams called 'Girl' will open at Emmanuel Perrotin's new space in Paris, the Salle de Bal. It will showcase 40 works by mostly female artists including Marina Abramovic, Sophie Calle, Cindy Sherman and Tracey Emin.
7. The new fragrance is the final flourish for Pharrell's creative energies
"For each of our senses there's an art form: For ears there's music, for your eyes there's art, for your nose there's fragrance, for your taste there is the culinary art, for feeling I say there is love."
Pharrell Williams Girl will be available from September 1st from Dover Street Market, London

Pasadena, CA – Evaluation of a pale, flat Martian rock as the potential next drilling target for NASA's Curiosity Mars rover determined that the rock was not stable enough for safe drilling.
The rock, called "Bonanza King," moved slightly during the mini-drill activity on Wednesday, at an early stage of this test, when the percussion drill impacted the rock a few times to make an indentation.
This image from the front Hazcam on NASA's Curiosity Mars rover shows the rover's drill in place during a test of whether the rock beneath it, "Bonanza King," would be an acceptable target for drilling to collect a sample. Subsequent analysis showed the rock budged during the Aug. 19, 2014, test. (NASA/JPL-Caltech)

Pasadena, CA – As it approaches the second anniversary of its landing on Mars, NASA's Curiosity rover is also approaching its first close look at bedrock that is part of Mount Sharp, the layered mountain in the middle of Mars' Gale Crater.
The mission made important discoveries during its first year by finding evidence of ancient lake and river environments. During its second year, it has been driving toward long-term science destinations on lower slopes of Mount Sharp.
This full-circle panorama of the landscape surrounding NASA's Curiosity Mars rover on July 31, 2014, offers a view into sandy lower terrain called "Hidden Valley," which is on the planned route ahead. It combines several images from Curiosity's Navigation Camera. South is at the center. (NASA/JPL-Caltech)
Pasadena, CA – Flashes appear on a baseball-size Martian rock in a series of images taken Saturday, July 12th by the Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI) camera on the arm of NASA's Curiosity Mars Rover. The flashes occurred while the rover's Chemistry and Camera (ChemCam) instrument fired multiple laser shots to investigate the rock's composition.
ChemCam's laser has zapped more than 600 rock and soil targets on Mars since Curiosity landed in the planet's Gale Crater in August 2012.
Pasadena, CA – NASA Mars rover Curiosity has driven out of the ellipse, approximately 4 miles wide and 12 miles long (7 kilometers by 20 kilometers), that was mapped as safe terrain for its 2012 landing inside Gale Crater.
The High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter photographed the rover on June 27th at the end of a drive that put Curiosity right on the ellipse boundary.
This June 27, 2014, image from the HiRISE camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter shows NASA's Curiosity Mars rover on the rover's landing-ellipse boundary, which is superimposed on the image. The 12-mile-wide ellipse was mapped as safe terrain for its 2012 landing inside Gale Crater. (NASA/JPL-Caltech/Univ. of Arizona)
Pasadena, CA – NASA's Mars Curiosity rover will complete a Martian year — 687 Earth days — on June 24th, having accomplished the mission's main goal of determining whether Mars once offered environmental conditions favorable for microbial life.
One of Curiosity's first major findings after landing on the Red Planet in August 2012 was an ancient riverbed at its landing site. Nearby, at an area known as Yellowknife Bay, the mission met its main goal of determining whether the Martian Gale Crater ever was habitable for simple life forms.
NASA's Curiosity Mars rover used the camera at the end of its arm in April and May 2014 to take dozens of component images combined into this self-portrait where the rover drilled into a sandstone target called "Windjana." (NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS)
Pasadena, CA – NASA's Curiosity Mars rover has imaged the planet Mercury passing in front of the sun, visible as a faint darkening that moves across the face of the sun.
This is the first transit of the sun by a planet observed from any planet other than Earth, and also the first imaging of Mercury from Mars.
Mercury fills only about one-sixth of one pixel as seen from such great distance, so the darkening does not have a distinct shape, but its position follows Mercury's expected path based on orbital calculations.
Pasadena, CA – Portions of powdered rock collected by drilling into a sandstone target last week have been delivered to laboratory instruments inside NASA's Curiosity Mars rover, and the rover will soon drive on toward its long-term destination on a mountain slope.
Other instruments on the rover have inspected the rock's interior exposed in the hole and in drill cuttings heaped around the hole. The target rock, "Windjana," is a sandstone slab within a science waypoint area called "The Kimberley."
The Mars Hand Lens Imager on NASA's Curiosity Mars rover provided this nighttime view of a hole produced by the rover's drill and, inside the hole, a line of scars produced by the rover's rock-zapping laser. The camera used its own white-light LEDs to illuminate the scene on May 13, 2014. (NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS)
Pasadena, CA – Portions of rock powder collected by the hammering drill on NASA's Curiosity Mars rover from a slab of Martian sandstone will be delivered to the rover's internal instruments.
Rover team members at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, CA, received confirmation early today (Tuesday) of Curiosity's third successful acquisition of a drilled rock sample, following the drilling Monday evening (PDT).
This May 5, 2014, image from the Navigation Camera on NASA's Curiosity Mars rover shows two holes at top center drilled into a sandstone target called "Windjana." The farther hole was created by the rover's drill while it collected rock-powder sample material from the interior of the rock.
Pasadena, CA – Terrain that NASA's Curiosity Mars rover is now crossing is as smooth as team members had anticipated based on earlier images from orbit.
On Tuesday, February 18th, the rover covered 329 feet (100.3 meters), the mission's first long trek that used reverse driving and its farthest one-day advance of any kind in more than three months.
The reverse drive validated feasibility of a technique developed with testing on Earth to lessen damage to Curiosity's wheels when driving over terrain studded with sharp rocks. However, Tuesday's drive took the rover over more benign ground.
This map shows the route driven and route planned for NASA's Curiosity Mars rover from before reaching "Dingo Gap" — in upper right — to the mission's next science waypoint, "Kimberley" (formerly referred to as "KMS-9″) — in lower left. (NASA/JPL-Caltech/Univ. of Arizona)
Pasadena, CA – NASA's Mars Curiosity rover is continuing its traverse toward enticing science destinations after climbing over a dune spanning a gap in a ridge.
The rover covered 135 feet (41.1 meters) on February 9th, in its first drive since the 23-foot (7-meter) crossing of the dune on February 6th. That put Curiosity's total odometry since its August 2012 landing at 3.09 miles (4.97 kilometers).
NASA's Curiosity Mars rover used the Navigation Camera (Navcam) on its mast to catch this look-back eastward at wheel tracks from driving through and past "Dingo Gap" inside Gale Crater. (NASA/JPL-Caltech)

Also noteworthy is the fact that the current-generation car is out of stock. Honda dealers tell us they are taking "priority bookings" for Rs. 51,000, an amount which is completely refundable in case buyers change their mind when the car is launched. But that's unlikely and according to a dealer, "People are booking the car on the blind faith they have in Honda. We are anticipating a deluge of orders once the car is launched."
Dealers say there is equal buyer interest in both petrol and diesel models, and they are expecting Honda's latest launch to command a waiting period, which can go up to two months, depending on the variant. They say entry-level variants in general are in higher demand and this should be the case with the new City as well.
Honda is betting big on the city and expects this latest iteration to eclipse the sales records of its predecessors. Also, with a diesel engine now in its arsenal, both the carmaker and its dealers are gung-ho about the car sale.
So, if you are also game to go for the latest Honda and don't want to wait, we suggest you book it early.

YouTube'd: Zachary Quinto vs. Leonard Nimoy
Is it an ad for Audi? You bet. Is it awesome and full of Spocks? That too. In a brand new YouTube video "ad" Zachary Quinto takes on Leonard Nimoy in a "battle of speed and wits". Yeah, there's tons of product placement, but how often do you get to see Leonard Nimoy singing The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins and then immediately parody his TWOK death scene.

LAS VEGAS (AP) -- Oddsmakers in this gambling city believe this Super Bowl is one of the most evenly matched ever.
Bettors seemed to favor the Denver Broncos early, though, and sports books on the Las Vegas Strip quickly adjusted their lines to make Denver anywhere from pick `em to a 2-point favorite to win the title game.
Some sports books made the Seattle Seahawks favorites while others put up lines favoring the Broncos in a rare split for a game that could be the most bet ever. Still others played it down the middle.
Bettors quickly lined up to back their opinions with money. At the South Point hotel's sports book, a bettor put $25,000 on the Broncos within minutes of the end of Sunday's second game, moving the line from pick'em to the Broncos favored by one.

NTSB Identification:
Accident occurred Monday, July 17, 1995 in COUVA, Trinidad And Tobago
Aircraft: CESSNA A188B, registration: N3743J
Injuries: 1 Uninjured.
This is preliminary information, subject to change, and may contain errors. The foreign authority was the source of this information.
On July 17, 1995, about 1645 Atlantic standard time, a Cessna A188B, N3743J, leased to Briko Air Services Limited, operating as a 14 CFR Part 129 aerial application flight crashed while maneuvering on an aerial application swath run in the vicinity of Couva, Trinidad. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and no flight plan was filed. The commercial pilot was not injured. The airplane was destroyed. The flight originated from Camden Base, Couva, about 15 minutes before the accident.
The pilot informed local authorities that he had just completed two swath runs and was about to make a third swath run which required an abrupt maneuver to avoid power lines. The airplane stalled and collided with the ground.
The investigation is under the jurisdiction of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago. Any further information may be obtained from:
Republic of Trinidad and Tobago Civil Aviation Division P.O. Box 552 89 Abercromby Street Port of Spain, Trinidad Telephone (809) 664-4302

Public Planetarium Fall Schedule 2014
In addition to our tour of the current evening sky, each month's public show features a 10 to 15-minute segment highlighting a particular topic of interest. The segments for fall 2014 planetarium shows are as follows:
September 19 – Black Holes
Some of the most bizarre objects in the universe, black holes have been the subject of scientific papers and science fiction movies. Where do black holes come from? Are they giant vacuum cleaners, sucking up everything in their paths? We'll use simple demonstrations to illustrate how black holes work.
October 10 – Aurora Borealis
A bright display of the "northern lights" is an awe-inspiring spectacle. And you don't have to travel to Alaska or Canada to see them! We'll describe the hows, wheres and whens of the aurora and show pictures and video of northern lights displays taken from Nebraska.
November 14 – The Pleiades
Known to many as the "Seven Sisters ," the Pleiades star cluster stands out in the fall and winter sky. We'll introduce visitors to the science and rich mythology that surrounds this fascinating group.
December 12 – Binocular Astronomy
Thinking of buying a telescope as a Christmas present? Consider a pair of binoculars instead. We describe the advantages of binoculars over telescopes for stargazing and pick out a few celestial sights especially well-suited for binocular viewing.
All shows start at 7:00 PM. Tickets are free and will be handed out at the door on a first come basis (one ticket per person). All shows are free-of-charge, however, we will graciously accept any donation of dry or canned goods for a local food pantry.
We provide free educational shows to school groups and private organizations (minimum of 20 guests) during the Fall and Spring semesters at University of Nebraska at Kearney. Please contact the department office to schedule a show. The phone number is 308.865.8277.

It was not immediately clear if the accident had resulted in any injuries.

We have used this one for a client and i am very pleased with our choice. Very easy to use, has the spot-on features needed.
I worried a little about support, but my worries were not confirmed, Nick is very helpful and there is clearly a lot of effort put into the development.
Intuitive interface, smooth installation, nice outcome.
Thumbs up!
bydanger9918, October 1, 2011
The extension is pretty complex and covers most of our needs, the most useful for us was the payment integration that we could customize to our specific needs (the payment processor is quite specific to our client country).
The look and feel is pretty intuitive, most of our needs were covered out of the box, the rest we could change pretty easy.
Regarding support - we had some forum posts that got pretty quick an answer, there was one issue that got fixed, but the update process was pretty simple.
Overall a good experience

Nigerian wire transfers, designer knock-offs, items that never ship, and buyers that never pay are all well known pitfalls online. But I recently learned of another, and oddly enough it came directly from the eBay "powers that be" and bit me–even though I'd done nothing wrong. All I can do is warn people, and wait 90 days until my account is fully reinstated.
Long story short: Careful where you eBay, and don't eBay at work. What happened could happen to you even if you log into your on your lunch break and get eBay purchases shipped to your work address. It's possible it could happen if you use a smart phone to check an auction status via your company WiFi, but I don't know for sure because no one at eBay will give me a solid answer.
Here's what happened:
At my old job we maintained a web site and an eBay store. It was my job to take care of all the eBay stuff, because I made extra money myself finding old car and motorcycle stuff and selling it via my own eBay account.
Of course, much like working for Savings.com, sometimes I would find something online I just couldn't pass up when I was supposed to be working, so I'd log out of the company account and log into my personal account.
This seems to be the sort of thing eBay's fraud department looks for: Two accounts logging into their site from the same computer (or possibly just the same IP address).
Now we had gotten their attention, and they made a note of it.
I spend most of the day at the office, so items I bought on eBay were often shipped to my work address. Now there were two pieces of evidence that eBay used to connect the work account and my personal account. Then I left that job, forgot about their eBay store, and went on with my life.
Mind you, I pieced all this together afterward, after an angry unhelpful phone call to customer service.
Months later, the minute I listed an auction of my own I got an email from eBay informing me that my account was in a state of limited usage, due to negative feedback on the other account. Three complaints of slow shipping over the course of a year, and your account–and any account linked to it–are limited.
There was never any warning on my account alerting me of anything when my former employer's account was limited. It has been over a year since I had anything to do with that other account, and more than 90 days since the last negative feedback. The former co-worker, who now runs their eBay store, has tried and can't fix it. There is no way to counter the bad feedback; you just have to wait it out.
Both accounts had been on eBay for more than ten years, and both of them had hundreds of positive pieces of feedback.
Here's the direct message:
"Dear "SELLER,"
To help sellers be successful and ensure a safe experience on eBay for everyone, we sometimes place limits, restrictions, or suspensions on accounts.
Based on your financial information, contact information, or buying and selling activity, it appears that your account is associated with user ID "OTHER SELLER". Normally when 2 accounts share this sort of information it indicates that the accounts belong to the same person. Since this other account is limited, restricted, suspended, or otherwise not meeting minimum seller standards, we've limited selling on this account as well. You can now sell up to 10 items monthly and up to $500.00 monthly.
In 90 days, we'll reassess and may adjust your limit. Alternatively, you can increase your limits immediately by resolving any issues with the original account. Instructions on how to resolve any issues were sent to the email address registered to that account."
Can you imagine this happening to co-worker in the same building? Or students in a dorm? IP addresses are often assigned randomly by routers, so you never know who might be on one you were on yesterday.
I warned all my former co-workers, to protect them from the same sort of punishment. And now, I am using the soap box of Savings.com to warn the general public. Make absolutely certain you aren't sharing shipping information and an IP address with co-workers who are less conscientious about their eBay performance.
For some reason I am reminded of when Yogi Berra said "It's so crowded nobody goes there anymore." This may be the very last straw for me and eBay, I may begin looking for a new place to buy and sell things online. Anyone have any favorites?

STONY RIDGE, Ohio Investigators are looking into whether a leaking liquid-propane tank sparked an explosion that leveled a home and left two people dead in northwest Ohio.
Troy Township Fire Chief Randy Woodruff says the cause of the blast early Tuesday is still unknown. But he says the focus of the investigation now is on a propane tank.
He says tank sits just outside the house and toppled over after the explosion.
Neighbors say the blast woke them up around 5 a.m. and they saw flames at the ranch-style home near the village of Stony Ridge, about 15 miles south of Toledo.
One man died after being taken to a hospital, and the body of a woman was found in the rubble about six hours later.

BACKGROUND: Melanoma is the most rapidly increasing cancer in the United States. Each year, up to 50,000 new cases of the cancer are diagnosed in this country and nearly 10,000 people die from the disease. Melanoma accounts for about four percent of skin cancer cases, but it causes about 79 percent of skin cancer deaths.
RISK FACTORS: According to the American Cancer Society, researchers do not know exactly what causes melanoma, but they do know that certain risk factors are linked to the disease:
NEW HOPE: Researchers from the National Cancer Institute believe they have found a novel way to fight melanoma. The technique, known as adoptive transfer, involves raising a patient's immune cells in the laboratory to recognize and fight the patient's own tumor. The cells are then injected back into the body. The technique is highly experimental and involves the body's T cells, which are responsible for finding and attacking foreign cells that have entered the body. In their study, researchers extracted some of these cells from 13 patients with melanoma and exposed them in the lab to a small segment of the patient's cancerous tumor. The cells learned to recognize the tumor fragment as a foreign body and fight it. The cells were able to live and actually grow inside the patient's body, providing enough cells to replace the patient's existing immune system. In 6 of the 13 patients, the treatment resulted in at least a 50-percent shrinkage of the tumors with no new tumors forming. In four patients, the tumors disappeared.
"For the first time, we've been able to get the cells that we give to survive and grow inside the body. When it does that, it attacks the cancer and causes the cancer to shrink," said Steven Rosenberg, M.D., Ph.D., from the National Cancer Institute.
Of the treatment, he says, "It's very early in the development of this, but it's one that has us quite excited."
Dr. Rosenberg says the treatment is highly experimental. In the future, he says it may be studied in other cancers such as breast, ovarian, prostate and lung cancer.

U.S.S. Bistera, well outside the harbor and undamaged by the raid, had pulled 30 men from the water in a rescue effort. By the next day, the officers and crew of the Bistera were blinded from the effects of the sulfur mustard carried onto the ship by those rescued. Bari was overloaded with casualties by then, and the Bistera and its crew struggled to nearby Taranto for treatment. Soon the U.S. command had no choice but to confirm the cause of these injuries. With the assistance of Colonel Stewart Alexander, a military physician with extensive knowledge of mustard poisoning, better precautions and treatment were begun. By the end of the disaster, over 600 victims of mustard poisoning were treated from the harbor area alone; of these, 83 died (Alexander, 1947). Close to 1,000 civilians from the town also died (Harris and Paxman, 1982). Unfortunately, no long-term medical follow-up of survivors of the Bari harbor disaster has been reported.
As history has repeatedly shown, the experience of medical personnel and researchers in wartime can lead to major innovations in medical treatment practices. Such was the case with chemical warfare research in WWII. Numerous advances were made in the treatment of metal poisoning, development of antibiotics, treatment of burn injuries, and other areas. Many of these advances were reviewed soon after the war in a two-volume summary Advances in Military medicine (Andrus et al., 1948). The story of the use of nitrogen mustard as a cancer chemotherapy agent is especially relevant to the present report.
Nitrogen mustards were first synthesized in the 1930s. These compounds were modifications of sulfur mustard and were found to have greater systemic toxicity than sulfur mustard (Gilman and Philips, 1946; OSRD, 1946). Particularly potent was the effect of nitrogen mustard on cells that are actively proliferating, including the lymphoid tissue, bone marrow, and certain cells lining the gastrointestinal tract. During WWII, the Committee on the Treatment of Gas Casualties authorized a contract between the Office of Scientific Research and Development and Yale University (Andrus et al., 1948). Under this contract, Louis C. Goodman headed a group that was responsible for the study of the pharmacologic effects of nitrogen mustards. The group, including Alfred Gilman, Frederick Philips, and Roberta Allen, focused its efforts on the study of the cytotoxic properties of nitrogen mustard. Enlisting the help of anatomist Thomas Dougherty, the group expanded its work to examine the effect of nitrogen mustard on experimental tumor cells in mice. It was found, but not published until later, that systemic administration of nitrogen mustard caused dramatic regression of these mouse tumors. These data formed the experimental basis of the first clinical trials of

Finding Winnipeg's hidden jewels
Downtown filled with historic architecture
As the calendar moves into the dog days of August, thousands of Manitobans will head out on their summer vacations to explore the architecture and metropolitan character of different cities across the continent. From weekends in Minneapolis or Chicago, to road trips through Ontario and Quebec, many will travel near and far in search of an inspiring urban experience.
Few of us, however, will explore our own city with the same curiosity we display abroad. We often spend our vacations walking the neighbourhoods of distant cities and then return to our hurried lives, rarely slowing to appreciate Winnipeg from that same pedestrian perspective.
With beautiful, mosquito-free weather this summer, the time is right to take an urban 'staycation' and discover the often unappreciated beauty, history and distinct architectural character that makes Winnipeg as interesting and unique as the cities we visit as tourists.
As beautiful as Old Montreal or Vancouver's Gastown, Winnipeg's Exchange District, with its muscular brick warehouses aligned on cobblestone sidewalks can be as inspiring as any historic urban area in North America. Participating in one of the walking tours offered by the Exchange District BIZ brings to life the intriguing stories those heavy brick walls have to tell. With specialty themes such as Death & Debauchery or Winnipeg General Strike, each tour provides a captivating look into the rich history of the Exchange District.
Taking in a lunchtime concert at the area's redeveloped Old Market Square provides the opportunity to experience the controversial design for the new 'Cube Stage.' Its intriguing modern form sits in stark contrast to the surrounding historic buildings that include the Union Bank Tower, Canada's first skyscraper: a structure of such significance that if it were in Toronto it would adorn stamps and post cards. For two decades, it has been nothing more than a long shadow on Main Street, but scaffold and construction fences today provide evidence of its rebirth as the Paterson Global Foods Institute for Red River College.
Exploring the downtown as a pedestrian invites the discovery of unique urban treasures such as the tranquil pathways of Stephen Juba Park, the regal terra-cotta sculptures that adorn the Paris Building or any one of the nearly 30 galleries, 200 restaurants or dozen theatres, scattered throughout the city centre.
The reward for parking the car and taking the time to investigate what lies behind the stoic walls of Winnipeg's historic architecture is the opportunity to discover some of the most magnificent hidden spaces that can be found in any city in the country.
The familiar Greek Temple at Portage and Main is a perfect candidate for this type of discovery. Designed by McKim Mead and White, the renowned New York architects responsible for Penn Station and the original Madison Square Garden, the breathtaking interior hall of the Bank of Montreal expresses the classic elegance of a European cathedral. Built in 1911 at an astronomical cost of $1.3 million, its immense columns of imported Italian marble rise up 18 metres to an ornate coffered ceiling finished in gold leaf.
Perhaps an even more dramatic interior space can be found a block away along what was once known as 'Bankers' Row.
Behind the austere facade of the Canadian Bank of Commerce now known as the Millennium Centre is a spectacular marble hall highlighted by a dramatic 15-metre-diameter glass dome at its centre. Rivalling the great banking halls of Toronto and New York, its jaw-dropping beauty would be a highlight on the tourist trail even if it were on Wall Street in Lower Manhattan.
Another unheralded legacy of Winnipeg's early prominence is a rich collection of beautiful century-old churches in the city centre.
Not the most well-known of these, but likely the most spectacular is Holy Trinity Anglican Church, hidden behind several leafy old elm trees across from the Millennium Library.
Its design came as the result of Winnipeg's first international architecture competition, with Englishman Charles Wheeler being awarded $300 as the winner, selected from 20 submitted entries. The church's elegant stone exterior only hints at the richly ornamented interior within. With limestone walls and numerous stained-glass windows, its most spectacular feature is a Gothic, dark-stained oak hammerbeam truss ceiling. In 1883, the Manitoba Free Press proclaimed it to be 'as fine a specimen of pure Gothic architecture as to be found on this continent'. A statement that still holds true today.
The greatest challenge facing modern downtown Winnipeg is overcoming the enduring public misconception it is unsafe, vacant and uninteresting. If more of us were inspired to take an urban 'staycation' and explore the city as a tourist, stumbling across these and the many other hidden jewels waiting to be discovered in the city centre would certainly transform our collective image of the downtown. Traditional perceptions would give way to the compelling reality of our city's modern progress, architectural heritage and distinct urban character.

Phoenix Maryvale dominated its 5A matchup with visiting Desert Mountain for a 50-6 win Friday night.
While Maryvale built a 35-0 halftime lead, Desert Mountain had three first downs, two lost fumbles and 42 yards of total offense.
Even with Maryvale's 80 first-half penalty yards, the Wolves could not cross midfield.
In the fourth quarter, Kyle Klein recovered a fumbled punt at Maryvale's 23 to set up the Wolves' lone score, a 3-yard pass from Cory Campbell to Jason Kramer.

Beautiful Quotes
If you can't go to sleep
if you can't go to sleep
my dear soul
for tonight
what do you think will happen
if you pass your night
and merge it with dawn
for the sake of heart
what do you think will happen
if the entire world
is covered with the blossoms
you have labored to plant
what do you think will happen
if the elixir of life
that has been hidden in the dark
fills the desert and towns
what do you think will happen
if because of
your generosity and love
a few humans find their lives
what do you think will happen
if you pour an entire jar
filled with joyous wine
on the head of those already drunk
what do you think will happen
go my friend
bestow your love
even on your enemies
if you touch their hearts
what do you think will happen
- Rumi
A Prayer for Getting Un-Stuck (Doreen Virtue)
Be crumbled.
So wild flowers will come up where you are.
You have been stony for too many years.
Try something different.
I am this movement, I am home
The sensuous ebb and flow of the breath,
The warmth of the sun on the skin,
The touch of light on the eyelids, like a kiss,
The soothing sound of leaves rustling in the breeze,
The satisfying release of bodyweight into the support of the Earth -
Nothing in particular to do or be,
Just savoring the texture of life in this moment…
Relaxing, melting, softening into lusciousness.
Sinking down, letting go, deeper, deeper …
Breath spreading, massaging everywher inside, a gentle caress…Ah…
Here, now, the movement of life, touching me,
Healing me, revealing its simple truth –
I am immersed in the embrace of life.
Yes, I hear the Yes.
And my response, Yes.
I am this movement.
I am home.
- Camille Maurine, Meditation secrets for women
Each condition I welcome transforms me
Willing to experience aloneness,
I discover connection everywhere;
Turning to face my fear,
I meet the warrior who lives within;
Opening to my loss,
I am given unimaginable gifts;
Surrendering into emptiness,
I find fullness without end.
Each condition I flee from pursues me.
Each condition I welcome transforms me
And becomes itself transformed
Into its radiant jewel-like essence.
I bow to the one who has made it so,
Who has crafted this Master Game;
To play it is pure delight,
To honor it is true devotion.
by Jennifer Welwood
Letting Go
by Clarissa Pinkola Estes
To let go.
Some have a hard time
letting go of what is no longer,
what cannot be, what is not,
what has never been.
People say
'just let go,
just let go,
just let go'
scattering the platitude like confetti
immediately swept away by any wind.
What is it exactly, this letting go?
No longer allowing the eye
to be caught by the hook…
No longer fastening the lock on the door,
just letting the door swing as it will…
No longer visiting the graves
where there is no love
and no blessing in both directions…
No longer reviewing and reviewing the past,
even the last moment,
as though there will be a test.
There will not be a test, dear soul.
What is it exactly,
this letting go?
Not reading the same chapter over and over
and over and over, futilely attempting
to make the indelible facts be rewritten…
Making new memories of quality
to bathe old scars and new life…
Moving into a larger world
in which the past
is but a dot on the landscape
rather than the only continent in sight.
We all find our ways…
letting go is shaking loose,
letting go is turning
in your great coat, into a new wind
forward into new sky and open road
leaving what cannot be,
and taking all treasure
from the wreck.
Each in her own way.
Each in his own way.
This comes with love. Hang in there. No one deserves to be nailing the hem of their cloak to the crossroad that once was, but that is not now.
